For What It's Worth - Part 1 Rex x Reader

Summary: You've never been very subtle about your support of clone rights, especially after you started secretly dating Rex. But you never thought a few simple pins would bring you this kind of trouble. All alone, on the mean streets of Coruscant, your life is suddenly in danger and you don't know if you'll be able to make it back to him. Warnings: reader is afab, mugging, attack on the street, general violence, degrading language, clone rights propaganda, physical violence but no noncon/sexual assault, mature sexual content in later chapters, minors: get out

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7

The button had been a joke.

Clones Do It Better, emblazoned on a bright red & blue button in obnoxious font and accompanied by a little cartoon helmet, was pinned to your work bag. A gift from a very close friend who knew your habit of decorating every surface you owned with stickers, patches, and yes, pins. 

She also happened to know about your very secret relationship with a certain well-known clone high in the GAR ranks. So it was a particularly cheeky inside joke that you’d happily added to your collection. But it was still, in fact, a joke.

The men who’d pulled you into that alleyway clearly didn’t know that.

To be fair, the other buttons you’d proudly worn on your backpack - Clone Rights NOW, Fight for Those Who Fight For Us, Humanity Beyond the Helmet - were not jokes. You believed every word.

To be even fairer, that didn’t give these bastards permission to shove your face - hard - against a cold metal wall, arm so horribly twisted behind your back that you swore you felt a bone start to give way. 

You cried out, tears springing from the corners of your eyes. They laughed, a cruel, rotten sound that landed like a stone in the pit of your stomach. From the jeers you couldn’t make out - you might be concussed, and was that blood you felt dripping off your brow? - and the shuffling of feet behind you, you thought there were three of them. They sounded young, irrationally angry, and quite drunk.

“...fucking meat droid whore!” Your brain finally began filtering through all the noise.

Ah. So that was it. They saw your backpack as you were leaving work for the night. It wasn’t hard to spot, you were practically a walking pro-clone advertisement. And it wasn’t the first time you’d gotten a dirty look or even a nasty comment because of it. But you never thought, not even in one of the rougher districts, you would find yourself in this position. 

There were very persistent anti-clone movements out there. People who saw every soldier in the GAR as less than human. Why should they care about an expensive vanity project for the senate and the jedi, anyway? The clones were being put through a galactic meat grinder regardless, and certain people decided they didn’t give a shit. And it seems, some of them had found you.

Alentia was going to feel awful when she found out.  

You push yourself away from the wall with your other hand and take stock of your situation. You’re outnumbered, you’re dazed, you’re trapped, and you’re not sure if the blood from your forehead has reached your lip or if your nose is bleeding too.

“Can’t believe she let a bunch of second-hand cells fuck her-”

“Ruined herself on a lab experiment-”

You were still in your medic’s uniform, not much protection there. One of them had you by your hair and arm. Another cut away at the straps on your backpack. 

Great, there was a knife in play somewhere. 

“Maybe she’s so ugly that nat-borns won’t have her-”

But… They didn’t know that you kept your comm hooked to your belt, instead of at your wrist. It was better when you were at work, less external nonsense near your hands. And they didn’t know about the emergency button that your boyfriend had reprogrammed to go to a very specific direct line, just in case.

They didn’t even see you reach down and hit it. The man who had you pinned was too busy yanking your head back by your hair. You bit your lip to keep from crying out.

His friends were slashing your backpack to bits, stomping on the buttons that fell from the scraps.

“Got nothing to say, bitch?”

No, you really didn’t. You didn’t care to explain yourself to a trio of prejudiced little boys with too much booze and cruelty in their blood. You didn’t give a shit as to why they thought what they were doing was justified or noble or right with the world. Spots were forming in front of your eyes and you wanted so very badly to close them.

I’ll be back in three days, cyare, he’d said, late at night when he could finally get away from his men and make a covert call. 

Right. He’d be back. And you’d be waiting.

It would take under ten minutes for someone to answer your emergency distress call. He’d assured you of that when he’d programmed the number in. Someone was coming. They’d be here any second. You had to stall. 

So you could see Rex again.

Without you

Tomura Shigaraki X reader

{you are the younger sister of a pro hero (I made up) who is ranked up high within the hero society with a quirk related to telekinesis. Told to try and follow the footsteps of her older brother with a quirk that isn’t quite as strong as his leads to some issues within her life but soon with some inconveniences and unfortunate events to occur she soon comes across a villain who took notice on who she was lead to their paths to be crossed more and more despite her efforts of preventing that to happen.}

—————————————————————————

Chapter 2

Arriving to Hosu, you got off the train and began your way to the building of your apartment. Pushing past the crowd, you swung over again the strap of your backpack as it kept falling with the amount of weight of papers and folders. Gripping it tightly as you heard a few voices talking as you passed by them.

“Hey isn’t that the younger sister of that hot Pro:MindForce?”

“Hey it is. But where’s the Pro? Could he be patrolling here?”

“Not sure. But can you believe she quit his agency? Who would do that?”

“She couldn’t handle the hate of not being able to keep up with him. Honestly it’s embarrassing. How did she even pass in school, did she go to UA like he did?”

“No she went to uh—the 3rd popular school I forgot which.”

“Oh yeah! That one! I wonder what her parents said when she couldn’t apply to UA.”

“How embarrassing.”

You turned your head in their direction and sent them a glare. They giggled and hurried away, she saw they were girls a few years younger than her.

‘I’d blow up their fucking brains if I could .’

Making it to your apartment building and walking into now the main lobby. You were greeted to the usual fellow at the desk. “Miss Y/n, I received a package for you. But it doesn’t exactly say who’s it’s from.”

You tilted your head a bit confused and shrugged. “Oh uh, I’ll come back and get it later. My hands are kinda full.” He nodded and placed the package away as you took the elevator to the floor of your apartment.

The phone rang at the front desk and the guy answered it. “Did she take it?”

“She hasn’t yet.” The guy said. The person on the other phone groaned and spat back before hanging up. “Well make sure she takes it!”

Papers were scattered on your small dinner table of your apartment, divided into dates from crimes in the past you’ve wanted to work on but couldn’t. And other few files you had hidden from your old office you had when working in the Force Agency(it’s made up). Cases that very much interested you and had mysteries.

Both hands on the edge of the table as you leaned over looking down at the papers. You hadn’t been able to get the recent information of the U.S.J attack but you plan too soon.

You had flies also of yourself and your missions you’ve been on in the past. But those were in a box hidden in your room. Most of the files in front of you were files that interested you the most, some from years ago.

‘League Of Villains they call themselves I’ve heard…how strange and plain of a villain name.’

You jumped upon hearing hard knocks at your apartment door and hurried footsteps fading away. You got goosebumps and tense at hearing the sudden noise, slowly walking to the door and peeking through the peephole. No one was there but you saw a familiar package sitting at the mat.

Gripping the doorknob, you quickly opened the door and slid the box inside and slowly shutting the door. You looked at the package at your feet, it had scribbles and then at the bottom corner: Miss Y/n

In script, looking at it puzzled at to why it was crossed out. Crouching down and running her fingertips on the package feeling how rough it was. Without thought she opened it with the pour amount of tape on it. Puzzled as she found to what seem a metal bracelet and a letter, lifting an eyebrow she hesitantly took the letter first. It was just an original envelope, carefully opening it.

She began reading the letter, as she read it told:

‘Dear Y/n L/n,

It’ll be a pleasure to have a talk with you, about a few topics that I believe will interest you. But I’ll explain further once we meet, and I’ll appropriately introduce myself. And I don’t want to worry you, I mean no harm at all. I’m fully aware if I did try anything in which I won’t, you stop me. Well you’ll stop me once you put that bangle on, just something a friend of mine created especially for you with that type of quirk. A friend of mine will arrive at your door at exactly 5 pm tomorrow. We people want to help you to a better future for you. And if you don’t comply, my friend will come anyways. He is very friendly.’

You blinked blankly at reading the letter, then again to make sure it was true what you read. Then looked back into the box at the so-called bangle.

‘My type of..quirk..? The fuck does that mean. Do they..know?—impossible. Like hell I’ll put it on.’

You threw the letter and bangle back into the box and stood up, kicking the box. “No what am I supposed to do. Apparently someone is gonna come to my door tomorrow..” you muttered and looked down at your palm, thinking of your quirk. And the incident.

About 10 month into the past of the present

It was late into the evening. You were out with your brother on patrol when he was called that a near by building was being attacked and there was people being held hostage. Haruki turned to you and put a determined smile on them spoke, “ready to be a hero?”

With a light in her eyes she smiled and nodded as she began to follow up with her brother’s pace. As he ran he quickly made another call alerting the agency to send back up if the situation worsened. As you ran behind your brother, excited and nervous of the situation ahead. You had a goal, to save as many lives as possible.

Seeing as the smoke clouded the sky from the distant, you and brother stopped and saw countless people, police officers, firefighters, and medics. Haruki jogged up to a police officer to get a summary on what is happening. Apparently a villain barged into the building attempting to rob for money, from what bystanders said some are injured or wounded inside then on accident perhaps involved with the villains quirk, a fire started. Most of the hostages escaped including the villain but there was still people inside.

None of the any top pros have arrived, Haruki looked at you. Then started to run around the building to get in by a different entrance as the main was blocked. You gulped, sweat running down your forehead. You sensed something off with the building, it was unstable.

“H-hey Haru, be careful. The building is—"

“Yeah! I know! Hurry we have to get in and save the people inside.” Haruki interrupted as he summoned a force field as a shield and broke down a door to get inside. Smoke was already seeping down to this floor, Haruki ran inside with you behind him. Then spoke.

“The officer said there was people on the 4th floor. We have to go quick. Got that?”

You nodded and followed Haruki up the unstable stairs to where the smoke thickened. Haruki created a shield to push out rubble and fallen ceiling tiles out of the way. Cracks were able to be heard from above and a part of the building fell and was heading straight for Haruki.

Your eyes widened as you yelled out your brother’s name and activated your quirk immediately stopping the titles from falling on Haruki, a glowing aura surrounded the titles as it floated in air, your veins pulsating and glowing as you felt the weight of the titles. Pushing the titles to the side carefully. Your veins stayed glowing, Haruki smiled at you then turned to keep going.

You ran up the stairs and finally reached to the floor. “Is there anyone here!? We’re heroes!” Haruki yelled. You flinched and placed a hand on his shoulder then spoke, “don’t shout. You’ll cause the building to collapse more.”

“We need to find those people first. Then take care of the rest. You can do that right?” Your eyes widened he said that and nodded hesitantly.

“Y-yeah. Yeah sure.” You grumbled and followed behind Haruki soon to find 6 people. 4 adults, 1 teen and one child. Barely even conscious all of them. Haruki ran to them and created a shield around them as protection. Walking to them carefully to assure them they’re safe. But you stood where you were, as you felt that sense again. That something was off, your head turned and looked up seeing cracks. The voice of your brother zoned out for you, an aura forming around your hands and your eyes glowing.

The faint voice of your brother calling your name was low, you turned to see cracks and crumbling. Your eyes widened here the people scream in fear so then you activated your quirk, its power flowing down to the ground and up the walls to hold it in place. Usually you’d just use your mind to activate your quirk but with an object this heavy and big, including the building. You had to use your hands to activate it more.

Haruki found a near broken window and instructed the people to carefully and calming following him while you held the room in tact, but your quirk began to roam within the walls and throughout the whole building trying to keep it in place. Side affects of using your quirk too much would cause headaches and nosebleeds, those were minor but going over your limit will lead to the quirk to get out of control. You quick like lifted the collar of your hero suit to cover your mouth as you held the building in tact.

“Y/n!” Haruki called from the window.

“On my—" you paused hearing a low cry. Turning your head you saw a closer door far down the room. And saw little feet. There was still someone in there, looking back at your brother who was urging you to come along. Your hands were shaking and your veins glowing.

Carefully moving your feet towards the closet, but it’ll take forever at this pace.

‘Be stronger, be the hero you wanted to be.’

You thought to yourself and lowered your hands and made a run for it to the closet. Your quirk lessening on the building you reached the closet and found an injured girl. Scooping her up, you collapsed to your knees clutching the girl.

‘Fuck…My limit.’

Haruki ran quickly over to me, and took the girl from you and grabbed your arm. “Hurry, you’re at your limit—"

You didn’t even process what he said when you saw the ceiling falling down and towards him. Your quirk activating more as the ceiling piece held in place. The whole building was moving. It was about to collapse. Haruki pulling you, causing too much movement on the ground making it crumble more. Your eyes widened and your quirk activated more, as if on its own. The ground had your quirk flowing through it as it held in place.

Haruki shook you violently. “Stop using your quirk! It’s over your limit!” Shaking your head, more blood dripping down your nose. “The building will crumble and collapse on us..” you managed to mutter. Wincing and you fell to your knees as you felt your quirk getting out of hand, head aching as hell. You felt sick.

Last thing you heard and felt was Haruki shaking you and calling you name.

Present

‘I ended up in the hospital after that incident, and was told that I activated my quirk too much and it led to spread throughout other building around to crumble and crack…’

With activating your quirk over your limit. It let for something inside of you to crack and break. Now causing your quirk to be unstable and weak after that incident. Sure you’ve used your quirk at times almost to its limit but this time was surprisingly different. Shaking your head at remembering that day. You looked back at the bangle again.l and thought.

‘No way that can help me..no way.’

Hi! Apologies for long wait! Enjoy! Promise next chapter more exciting

[omelette-archives]

OMELETTE RECORDS PT.2

Question: How would the new batch [new designs of the omelettes] react to the old batch and vice versa?

Answer: Jerard would be so distraught like “this is who I am? No that’s literally not me” even though it’s literally the same person.

Andrew is just so aghast at old him’s hair and lifestyle like definitely he’s the better one.

Jules would get along pretty well and they wouldn’t have any qualms but they’d also have slight differences where if they found out either of them likes this or that ,it would end up in a blown-out argument and they’d struggle to reconcile.

Tomathy's probably poking his own old face even though they’re practically the same but he’d be jealous of old him’s siblings.

Eustace's probably hugging each other and like grasping each other’s shirts as they meet the other Monty which would turn out to be a really sweet moment.

Luigi would literally have a staring contest and after an hour would go “oh red hair huh”.

COMMENTARY:

Andrew had the DEFINITION of a glow up like, both physically, arguably intelligently and job wise

Jules: yeah I torture people and I might be a serial killer Jules 2.0:…. I work at a pharmacy and volunteer at animal shelters Jules: omg I love animal shelters cats are so cute Jules 2.0: omg

I see your Tomathy response and raise you the idea that they both assumed the other was Timothy and they glared at each other ☝️

Question: What are the omelettes' reactions to playing Roblox horror games?

Answer: Jerard would be like “what is this lol” before playing and then just screaming his head off if someone shines a torch on his avatar and he thinks it’s the monster.

Jules is “you go first no you” she would NOT be going first at all 💔 but it would be hilarious at the same time.

Andrew's trying to explore everywhere to distract himself from the pain lurking around until his head gets snapped cause he didn’t hear the monster approaching him 💔💔💔

Eustace would definitely be vibing with Tomathy but split apart when they go through a chase with the monster and he ends up getting killed the most.

Tomathy's actually a pro at it despite not having played it he would actually like accidentally discover all the caves and secret entrances.

Luigi has his game glitched so the monster can’t actually kill him so he’s just doing the tasks as he’s face to face with the monster😭😭

COMMENTARY:

Jules would spend 80% of the game just saying she’s not going first and arguing about going first, and when everyone else dies she’ll just camp in the corner and cry about not wanting to go on😭

Andrew just talking the entire time like he’s running a commentary channel because that’s the only way he can play the game 😭😭

Eustace seems like the type of guy to accidentally throw his mouse across the room when he gets jumpscared..

Tomathy: guys it wasn’t even scary lmao Also Tomathy: **accidentally speedruns the game and doesn’t even see the monster because it’s chasing everyone else**

Question: Omelettes zombie apocalypse gear. What are they wearing and what gear are they carrying on their persons?

Answer: Jerard probably has a belt that holds everything he needs like water strapped to his belt, a dagger while he looks all disheveled and his hair is all tangled.

Jules has a backpack that has everything she needs except a weapon so she’s really vigilant and cautious when she’s passing through the hordes.

Tomathy's wearing his sweater that’s all ripped apart now and his pants are dangling on by a single thread as he fashions a knife taped to a gun for extra efficiency as well as less storage.

Eustace has some fanny pack that has only a biscuit or two and some extra glass shards that he picked up on the way.

Luigi's carrying a bow and some arrows as he has a bandana wrapped around his head so only the first half of his face is revealed.

COMMENTARY:

I can imagine Jerard rushing in all disheveled trying and on his way to block the door but he just always looks that disheveled so his roommates don’t even bat an eye.

Eustace keeping glass shards in his fancy back that also has some snacks in it is some cruel form of Russian roulette but I respect the hustle

Luigi is on his way to shoot zombies AND survivors, no one is safe. He is the real threat.

Question: What are the omelettes like as baby sitters, should they be trusted?

Answer: Jerard keeps the kid alive by feeding them and keeping the indoors by playing tv, probably annoyed that he has to spend time but like will read them to sleep as he tucks them in and does his own thing.

Jules will accidentally set the kitchen on fire with a little small flame but is good at calming the kid down if they have a tantrum or like verbalising their feelings.

Luigi will literally keep the kid alive just barely cause he’ll try to feed them like extreme food combinations like avocado with scrambled egg without realising the kid’s allergic to egg.

Eustace plays really well with the kid and like going with the flow with the kid’s figure’s storyline and all that.

Tomathy would honestly be the best out of all of them like he’d make sure the kid doesn’t get driven over when they visit the park and pushing them on the swing and making the kid’s favourite food.

COMMENTARY:

Luigi will ALWAYS somehow feed people things they’re allergic to. It’s not even malicious, he’ll randomly just offer them the one thing that could kill them.

Question: What are the omelettes’ favourite movies?

Answer: Jerard - Interstellar

Jules - The Devil Wears Prada

Eustace - Everything Everywhere All At Once

Tomathy - Legally Blonde (guilty pleasure)

Luigi - The Seashell and the Clergyman

Andrew - The Usual Suspects

FAVOURITES TO LEAST: CITRUSY

Andrew

Jules

Eustace

Luigi

Tomathy

Boris

Brews

Dave

JJB

Timothy

Ms Harmon

Monty

Rue (sorry girl you’re the new kid and I know nothing about you 💔)

COMMENTARY:

TOMATHY’S ABOVE BORIS I WOULD’VE NEVER GUESSED BRO THAT TOMATHY/ BORIS RANKING CHOICE HAD ME BITING MY NAILS 😭😭😭

Question: What are some cute yolk interactions you can think of (e.g. Timothy and Dave gushing about sharks, Brewster fishing with Boris, Tomathy drawing on a sleeping Jules face ect)🙏

Answer: The yolks would go to barbenheimer all dressed differently so Jerard's in all pink, Jules is absolutely in a suit with the same hat and she’s tipping it off like Oppenheimer, Tomathy in both pink and with pink bracelets with a coat, Eustace in pink but also dressed in dark colours.

Boris taking a selfie with That Smile™ while Brewster is struggling to raise a fish and it’s just so chaotic.

Jules holding a duck and chasing Tomathy around cause he’s scared of birds.

Jules dressed as a minion but didn’t realise no one else got the memo so she’s all dressed up as the only one and everyone’s laughing 🥲🥲

Luigi climbing up a tree with only a knife and then the aftermath being a photo taken at the exact time he falls.

Eustace trying to be all serious when posing beside a bunch of leaves and bush as Tomathy just starts cracking up.

COMMENTARY:

I love them all so dearly they have a special place in my heart, they’re all such dumb idiots❤️

PROMPT: Omelettes if they were in the Blair witch project?

Answer: Jerard's freaking out and just being scared after the whole rocks scene where they cross the border.

Jules is just losing her mind eventually and tossing the map in the river without thinking and she’s just hysterically crying every night.

Tomathy's rocking himself to sleep and filming every moment of the day as much as he can and he just yells at everyone.

Eustace is probably so scared that he barely follows Tomathy in the murder house that he finds Tomathy staring in the corner and screams so loud.

Luigi's the witch.

COMMENTARY:

I should NOT be laughing at Jules but her “tossing the map in the river without thinking” and her just sobbing every night is making me cackle 😭😭😭

Tomathy “anger issues” Stoker🫶 blaming everyone but himself

STOP I DONT KNOW WHY BUT EUSTACE JUST WALKING INTO THE MURDER HOUSE AND SCREAMING UPON SEEING TOMATHY IN THE CORNER IS SO FUNNY???😭😭

Luigi: so you’re probably wondering why I’ve gathered you all here today **camera pans to everyone dead**

Question: How do you think a yolks' ghost-hunting au would work?

Answer: Jerard's absolutely scared of every noise even if he pretends to be nonchalant and cool (he's not by the way).

Luigi scares the ghosts back but also just holding the flashlight in his mouth the entire time and turning around.

Tomathy has the whole vlog camera and ghost recorders out so you just see a tiny child-man dressed in the heaviest equipment and fanny packs.

Eustace is probably in his tropical shirt and just accidentally bears witness to several ghost incidences/occurrences like the strongest evidence but never catching it on camera.

Question: How do you think each of the yolks would play the sims?

Answer: Jerard plays the sensible "proper" way.

Luigi basically kills his sims in the weirdest ways possible. (He would love pufferfish, rabid rodent fever and mold infestation)

Tomathy has the most cursed family line like either constantly affairs, cheating, babies out of wedlock etc, fighting, paternity tests etc

Eustace would join in with Tomathy.

Question: How would each yolk react to being stuck in a time loop?

Answer: Jerard's losing his mind.

Tomathy's grooving with it and having the time of his life.

Eustace's very stressed and bouncing everywhere.

Luigi's already stuck in one. It's a life without [REDACTED].

Question: Do you have any of those funny/weird group photos that you'd feel would be the yolks?

Answer: There's one where they're all wearing matching hats at a theme park [and one that takes a photo while riding a rollercoaster and it's just Tomathy with his hands up, Jerard screaming and clutching onto Jules, Luigi with a stoic face and Eustace off to the side like he's about to puke].

Another would be just Tomathy looking like he had a baking disaster with his hair all black and his face sooty. [There's another photo where Eustace managed to convince Tomathy to dye his hair unnaturally and the photo is just of Tomathy after the results and his hair is raccoon hair].

Another is when they took a photo of Jerard sleeping with marker drawn on his face [and Luigi takes a photo where Eustace is posing next to Jerard's body with a marker in his hand].

Question: What would each yolk do if they discovered they could stop whenever they wish?

Answer: Tomathy would lick every child's ice-cream in his vicinity.

Eustace would sleep more [but also I think explore the bakeries and cafes near him].

Luigi would make cups full of water or coffee float in mid-air before they spill on Jerard.

Jerard would either use this time to finish his work or have a day off every now and then.

Question: Who does each yolk main in Mario Kart?

Answer: Jerard is Princess Daisy (vibes?)

Tomathy is Princess Peach, Baby Bowser, Wario or Yoshi [Peach to annoy Jerard but his most main would be Baby Bowser]

Luigi is King Boo.

Eustace is Toadette for some reason...

Jules is Baby Bowser.

Boris is maybe Diddy Kong.

Brewster is Wario.

Dave is Luigi.

Question: How does each yolk react to being stuck in a death time loop eg. Happy Death Day?

Answer: Tomathy would actually try to stop the cycle or find out the cause (he'd win).

Eustace would try stopping it but he'd end up getting killed way too many times that he just feels hopeless at the end.

Jerard is going through the stages of grief.

Luigi would try to stab the killer back.

Question: How do the yolks in Minecraft play? What do they do?

Answer: Luigi would try to fit in with the villagers and would even have a villager skin.

Tomathy is just a miner.

Jules hunts for food and resources.

Eustace is probably a farmer but also explorer like he'd probably own a farm where he breeds cows and horses.

Jerard's playing with his roommates and wouldn't even play it if it was just him.

Andrew's trying to charm his way to get resources and food for free.

Boris is a rider.

prelude

today is especially hard. they say that trauma is stored in the body, the spa showed me that to be true.

as i lay, disrobed and sweating on the hot sandbag floor of the meditation room i stretch my hip flexors. as i deepen my stretch i feel my stomach drop. breasts out, mostly unclothed on a warm bed i am suddenly thrust back into j's home.

i feel his tongue along my spine for the second time in one sitting as he licks himself off of me, while i think to myself "what have i just done?" and whisk that fear away into my indulgence and bliss. i think j is so tender and kind that there has to be a catch. there is, i just do not know it for many weeks at this time.

that little inkling i had was my fear for those many weeks after. many meaning 2, because exactly on my ovulation day, i had allowed a man to fuck me raw twice in one go. i had allowed it with barely a sliver of doubt that i hastily brushed away because i was having too much fun.

i think now, honestly, thank god he wasn't the one to accidentally inseminate me. a deceptive man could never be the genetic material for the pure thing that my body will create. i could not allow a deceptive man to change my genetic makeup, to manipulate my body. i know this now that it was narrowly avoided.

my cycle was 37 days. my always 27 day cycle was 37 days. i was over a week late. i tested more than once in fear of my dream and my nightmare coming true simultaneously.

negative. negative and 2 hours later i cramp and bleed with ferocity, my body adding insult to injury when the emptiness begins.

3 days later he takes me out. i leave the ocean early to see him, i love the ocean. i dont love him but think i could. he doesnt touch me, he looks away, he talks about himself. hands on his backpack straps, my emptiness gets emptier.

he stops. he tells me, this entire time he has been fucking someone else raw too and hasn't told me. i have asked him and he has withheld this information. i am paralyzed. evil creeps into my body, i realize nothing was consensual.

we'd never have fucked at all if i knew j was putting his dick in anyone else, im too guarded for that. i want to be courted, not hastily fucked while in his head he weighs the pros and cons of both the bodies he has turned into options.

i will never be an option. "...im sorry that i hurt you" are you? i beg to differ.

he says he understands. he will never understand what i went through in 3 excruciating weeks.

one day, baby kitty. but not today.

What Kind of Bag Do You Use for Travel?

Okay, so let’s talk bags. Travel bags, to be specific. Because let's face it: choosing the right one can make or break your trip. Whether you're heading out on a weekend getaway, a long vacation, or a spontaneous road trip, the right bag can save you time, stress, and maybe even some shoulder pain.

So, what kind of bag do you use for travel? Here’s a quick breakdown of some of the most popular options and their pros and cons. Let me know which one you swear by—or if you’ve got another bag recommendation! 💼✨

1. The Backpack: The Adventurer’s Dream

Backpacks are the MVP for anyone who values mobility, comfort, and ease. It’s all about the hands-free life, right? Whether you're walking around a city or rushing through an airport, a backpack makes it super easy to carry all your essentials.

If you're doing a short trip or going somewhere where you'll be walking a lot (think: sightseeing or backpacking), a backpack is the way to go. Bonus points if it has a padded laptop compartment, extra organizational pockets, and adjustable straps to avoid any back pain!

Why I Love It:

No need to carry it in your hands—hands are free for snacks and selfies

Works for both city trips and nature adventures

You can move easily in crowded spaces (like airports or buses)

Some models are super stylish and sleek

The Catch:

Limited packing space for longer trips

Might be harder to access your stuff if it’s packed to the brim

2. The Duffel Bag: The Flexible Companion

If you need something with a bit more space but still want that cool, casual vibe, a duffel bag is a solid choice. It’s perfect for short trips where you’re packing just a few outfits and essentials, but it’s also super adaptable for longer adventures if you pack smart.

With most duffels, you get a generous main compartment and additional pockets for shoes, toiletries, or tech gear. And now, many duffels come with wheels, so you can roll it instead of lugging it around like a heavy sack.

Why I Love It:

Super roomy but still easy to maneuver

Great for gym trips, weekend escapes, or packing extra gear

The flexibility means you can squish it into tight spaces

The Catch:

Might not be as organized as a suitcase

Can be awkward to carry if you overstuff it (especially if there’s no shoulder strap)

3. The Rolling Suitcase: The Classic Travel Power Move

The rolling suitcase is the trusty, classic travel companion. For longer trips or if you’re someone who needs to really pack a lot of stuff, this is probably the way to go. A hard-shell suitcase gives your stuff extra protection, while a soft-shell one has a bit more flexibility.

With compartments, zippers, and sometimes even built-in organizers, rolling suitcases can help you stay organized. Plus, with 4-wheel spinners, they’re easy to glide around in any direction (no more awkward dragging through the airport).

Why I Love It:

So much space! Great for longer trips or if you like to over-pack (who doesn’t?)

More structure and compartments to keep everything neat

Rolling it around is so much easier than carrying it

The Catch:

Takes up more space when you’re storing it

Heavier than a backpack or duffel (especially when packed)

4. The Weekender Bag: For the Short and Sweet Getaway

Sometimes, less is more. For those 1-2 day trips, a weekender bag is perfect. It’s small enough to keep things light and easy but big enough to fit a few changes of clothes, toiletries, and other essentials. Plus, most of them have a stylish, casual look that works just as well at the airport as it does on the street.

Think of it as your travel go-to when you don’t need a ton of stuff, but you want to feel like you have your life together. Weekender bags come in various shapes and sizes, with some having laptop compartments or organizational pockets.

Why I Love It:

Lightweight and easy to carry

Fits just the essentials—perfect for spontaneous weekend trips

Super cute and versatile

The Catch:

Limited space if you need to pack more

Doesn’t provide the same organization as a rolling suitcase

5. The Tote Bag: The Casual Travel Companion

The tote bag is ideal if you’re just carrying the basics—think your wallet, phone, sunglasses, a water bottle, and maybe a small jacket. It’s perfect for day trips, light sightseeing, or as a carry-on to toss in your plane essentials. A large, durable tote bag can also work as an extra bag to throw in a few last-minute items.

A bonus here: if you’re someone who loves to show off cute bags, totes come in all sorts of stylish designs.

Why I Love It:

Easy to grab and go

Stylish, with endless design options

Works as a secondary bag for easy access to things like your passport, snacks, and headphones

The Catch:

Limited storage space (you won’t fit your entire wardrobe in here)

Doesn’t offer much protection for fragile items

6. The Messenger Bag: For the Tech-Savvy Traveler

If you’re traveling with tech gear (laptop, camera, tablet), a messenger bag can be a great option. It’s not as big as a backpack, but it gives you enough room for your gadgets, some clothes, and maybe a few books or snacks. Plus, it has that “cool traveler” aesthetic that says, “I’ve got my stuff together” without trying too hard.

Why I Love It:

Stylish, functional, and perfect for tech gear

Convenient to grab-and-go

Looks good with pretty much anything (think: coffee shops, airports, etc.)

The Catch:

Limited storage space if you want to pack more than just the essentials

Might not be as comfortable if you're carrying a lot of gear

Conclusion: The Right Bag = The Right Trip ✈️

Ultimately, the bag you choose depends on your travel style, your needs, and how much you want to pack. Whether you’re a backpack person, a suitcase person, or something in between, there’s a perfect bag for you. So, next time you’re packing for a trip, think about what you actually need to carry and how you want to move through the world (literally).

What about you? What’s your go-to travel bag? Share your favorite, and let’s talk about all the different ways we tote our stuff around the world! 🌍

Sustainability is more than just a buzzword—it's a movement that’s reshaping industries, including fashion and retail. Eco-friendly materials are leading the charge in carry bag design.

Recycled Fabrics: Bags made from recycled PET (rPET) plastic, reclaimed textiles, or even upcycled materials are becoming increasingly popular. These bags not only reduce waste but also appeal to the eco-conscious consumer.

Natural Fibers: Jute, cotton, and hemp are gaining traction as sustainable alternatives to synthetic materials. They offer a natural, rustic look that’s perfect for brands wanting to emphasize their green credentials.

2. Minimalist Aesthetics

In a world that often feels overwhelming, minimalism offers a breath of fresh air. Simple, clean designs are trending in carry bags, with a focus on functionality and understated elegance.

Neutral Colors: Shades like beige, black, white, and soft pastels are dominating minimalist carry bags. These colors not only offer versatility but also exude sophistication.

Subtle Branding: Logos and brand names are being kept small and tasteful, allowing the design of the bag to shine without overpowering the overall look.

Designers are pushing the boundaries of traditional carry bag shapes, experimenting with form and structure to create bags that are as innovative as they are functional.

Geometric Shapes: Bags with angular designs, hexagonal or trapezoidal shapes, and other geometric forms are becoming more common, offering a modern twist on the classic carry bag.

Structured Silhouettes: Rigid, boxy bags with clean lines are trending, providing a sleek, architectural look that’s both practical and stylish.

6. Multifunctionality

In today’s fast-paced world, consumers appreciate products that serve multiple purposes. Multifunctional carry bags are designed with this in mind, offering versatility that adapts to various needs.

Convertible Bags: Bags that can transform from a tote to a backpack, or a shoulder bag to a crossbody, are in high demand. They offer convenience and adaptability for different occasions.

Tech-Friendly Features: As our reliance on technology grows, bags with dedicated compartments for laptops, tablets, and other gadgets are becoming essential.

When choosing a pickleball bag, consider the following features to ensure you’re getting the best fit for your needs:

Durability: Pickleball bags are often subjected to wear and tear, so it's important to choose a bag made from durable materials like nylon, polyester, or canvas. Reinforced stitching and high-quality zippers are also important to ensure longevity.

Compartments: Look for a bag with multiple compartments to keep your items organized. Separate sections for paddles, shoes, and personal items can make a big difference in convenience.

Comfort: If you’re carrying your bag for long distances or extended periods, consider a bag with padded straps and breathable back panels. This can reduce strain on your shoulders and back.

Weather Resistance: For outdoor players, having a weather-resistant bag is essential. Look for bags made from water-resistant materials or those with rain covers to protect your gear from the elements.

Style: While functionality is key, style is also important to many players. Pickleball bags come in a variety of designs and colors, so you can choose one that matches your personal taste.

4. Caring for Your Pickleball Bag

To extend the life of your pickleball bag, proper care is essential:

Regular Cleaning: Empty your bag after each use and wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. For fabric bags, occasional spot cleaning or hand washing is recommended.

Proper Storage: Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.

Avoid Overloading: To prevent strain on the zippers and seams, avoid overloading your bag. Use all compartments as intended to distribute weight evenly.

5. Conclusion

Choosing the right pickleball bag can enhance your overall playing experience by keeping your gear organized, protected, and easy to transport. Consider your needs, the bag's features, and your style preferences to find the perfect match.

Choosing the Right Motorcycle Travel Bag in India

When selecting a motorcycle travel bag, consider the following factors to ensure you choose the best option for your needs:

1. Capacity

Think about the amount of gear you need to carry. For long trips, larger saddlebags or a combination of tank and tail bags might be necessary. For daily commutes, a tank bag or backpack could suffice.

2. Weather Resistance

India's diverse climate means you may encounter rain, dust, and extreme heat. Opt for bags that offer good weather resistance, such as waterproof materials and sealed zippers.

3. Security

If you plan to leave your bike unattended, especially in urban areas, security becomes crucial. Hard saddlebags with locks or tail bags with built-in security features can provide peace of mind.

4. Compatibility

Ensure that the bag you choose is compatible with your motorcycle model. Some bags require specific mounts or racks, so check for compatibility before purchasing.
