#ps i am getting to your question 😅

[carlos-tk]

Oh that’s cool that it’s not fandom specific 💗

So glad I asked this question Rae!! Skincare girlies represent 🤝 I think the last time I wore a full face of makeup was my year 12 formal and that was quite a few years ago 😂 The only makeup product I’ve used since then is mascara or when drunk gals put glitter on my face when I go for a night out ✨

Yes to Mecca beauty loop box 🎁 I just picked up my birthday loop gift yesterday because i forgot about it last month, and unfortunately my store was out of stock of their summer box I need to make an order online. Which is always a good excuse to buy something lol. The exclusive stocking of product is so annoying sometimes, I have more Meccas close than Sephora, but Sephora is the only place that has Ultra Violette 😔

I love everything we have in common here! Sunscreen! My number one product especially with our sun. I am seconding @welcometololaland UV recommendation. It’s my 2nd favourite. They actually have a new gel formula/sensitive skin one that my friend gave me a sample of. Though it’s only 30+. I hate any sunscreen that leaves me sticky or shiny. My fave one is a moisturiser/sunscreen combo: Cancer Council Face Day Wear Matte Moisturiser SPF50+ that you can get at the supermarket or chemist, price is good too cos it goes on sale all the time. I don’t use mascara too often but I have that exact same MCo one 😀 I use Origins GinZing Into the Glow Brightening Serum that’s got Vit C in it, but it’s also pricey 😅 I’ve been recommended a Mecca Cosmetica one that i’ll try when I run out of the Origins one, and bonus it’s $20 cheaper lol. Thanks for all the answers and I eagerly await the 2nd ask 💗

Hello Rae!! - this is for nice ask week! Is this a thing that 911ls fandom does often? Because it seems to sweet and fun 💗

My question for you is what are the 5 beauty products you couldn’t live without? For me I’m a skincare girlie and thus don’t know much about makeup but still interested in your answers! And since you’re Aussie too, where’s your favourite place to get your products? Mecca, Sephora, Priceline, elsewhere? 🛍

I’m gonna send you a 911 based ask next 🚒🤠

Hi D! Nice ask week started as nice ask day about a month ago, but because of timezones and people just needing time to get to asks it went for about 3 days 😅 @celeritas2997 kicked off nice ask week this week just for fun! It’s not limited to LS fandom because so many of us are in overlapping fandoms but it’s fun!!

But omg, this ask! I am absolutely a skincare girlie who dabbles in being a makeup girlie (I used to wear a lot more makeup but I don’t wear as much anymore).

I buy a lot of my products at Mecca - my love of a beauty loop box keeps me loyal, plus there’s one very close to my office so it’s too easy to pop down on my lunch break! Having said that, I buy things from all over the place, it depends who stocks the brand, who’s got good freebies and how soon I need something!

Okay, five products I can’t live without, in no particular order:

- Sunday Riley Good Genes - it’s exy but does wonders for my skin

- Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face 50+ SPF/Ultra Violette Clean Screen 50+SPF - SO SO important to wear spf every day! I’ve been using the Mecca sunscreen for years and even have my partner using it daily because it’s just so good. But @welcometololaland recently put me onto the Ultra Violette (I’d been meaning to try it for ages and she sent me a sample) and I love it a lot. I think it feels nicer on my skin than the Mecca one does going on, but I haven’t had the chance to really test it out in the sun all day

- MCo Xtend lash mascara - tubing mascara is life changing, particularly in the humidity where I live and also because I cry easily. I buy this one at Woolies and stock up when it’s on sale (frequently). Have been using it for years because it’s just that good - holds a curl, doesn’t smudge, washes off easily with warm water

- concealer - I’m not wedded to any particular product, I was using a Kosas one which was excellent, am currently using an MCo one that I picked up to try because it was half price at Woolies 😅 and it’s surprisingly good! It’s not always easy to get a match for my skin tone in supermarket/pharmacy brands so I was pleasantly surprised!

- my last product would either be a Vit C serum (LOVE Sunday Riley CEO which feels so nice and smells good but more importantly is effective but Mecca put the price up so I’m currently using the Paula’s Choice Vit C booster and it’s good!) or my beloved MAC Girl About Town lipstick which might be the only colour I’ve worn consistently for 15ish years. It’s the perfect hot pink! I don’t wear it every day but it’s my go to lip colour when I go out.

What are your must haves? I’m always happy to chat skincare!!

PS. I have your other ask, it’s gonna take me a minute to think about and get links and I’m not home tonight but I will answer it!

[eat-sleep-read-and-repeat]

Why do you look so hot in it?

A/N: Hi... So this is the first time I am posting something 😅 I was re-watching their old videos and I got this idea.... I am posting this because this just would not leave my mind!! So I hope you like it and let me know if you do.

Ps. The prank that I am mentioning is when Elton had superglued a pink wig to Colby's head.

Warning: implied smut but it's only towards the end.

This is Colby Brock x reader

You and Colby have been dating for the past few months.

It was 8 in the morning and you were driving to Colby's house, the trap house, to meet him. He did not make it to the party where you were supposed to meet him last night and you got worried. You called him about three times and then received an overdramatic message from him stating that his career is over. Now you love Colby, you really really do but boy can he be overdramatic. He can turn any minor inconvenience into a life threatening situation. He told you that Elton pranked him and now he has to hide in his room for the rest of his life.

You reached the trap house and parked your car in their driveway. You opened the front door that is always unlocked. God they really need to lock their doors. "Colby!!" You call out, walking in searching for your boyfriend. When you reach the backyard you hear whistles coming from the construction site next door and Elton laughing his ass off. You walk out of the house again towards the street just to see Colby wearing a small princess dress in a pink wig twerking in the middle of the street. Nobody had noticed you yet and corey kept yelling at Colby to 'clap his ass'

"What the fuck did I just walk into?" You say capturing everyone's attention.

As soon as they saw you they burst out laughing, Elton kept pointing the camera in your direction as you stood gobsmacked trying to make sense of what you saw. Colby on the other hand was hiding his face in his hands completely mortified that you had seen him do that.

Elton was the first to speak up, "How do you like Colby's twerking y/n?"

"i am still trying to understand what happened to him... Like.... what in the world is going on?" You were speechless.

Corey spoke up as Elton kept laughing, "Elton superglued the pink wig to Colby's head."

"Okay that explains the pink hair but why is he wearing a dress that can easily pass as a maid outfit in some porno?" You asked now starting to laugh as the initial shock was gone. Your comment made them laugh harder and turned Colby's face bright pink. "Thank you for that babe... I really appreciate it." He deadpanned. You just winked back and gave him a flying kiss.

"Also also he got a date!" Corey added.

"A date?"

"Yeah the construction worker right there thinks Colby looks hot and is going to pick him up tonight."

"Oh my God." You laughed hysterically. "You should have told me sooner I would've brought my makeup pouch to help him get ready for the big date!!"

"Okay let's get back inside the house before I embarrass myself more than I have already." Colby sighed fast walking into the house. You watched him walk in and started cat calling him. "Damn princess peach got a fat ass!" Whistling as he turned around to give you a small twerk.

You follow him inside,"You still haven't answered my question though!!! Why are you wearing this costume??"

"Because... I have a photoshoot today. Which by the way got scheduled like what 20 minutes ago and Elton said that if I wore this costume he'll help me get rid of the wig. But apparently he was just bluffing to make me wear this!!" Colby said. Defeat was evident in his voice and as sorry as you felt for him you couldn't stop laughing. This was a damn good prank.

"No I do know how to remove the wig." Elton interjected.

"Yeah but it would burn my scalp!" Colby shot back.

"It MIGHT burn your scalp... And your hair might never grow back."

"Elton!" You gasped. "Please tell me you are joking.... I cannot have a bald boyfriend!"

"THAT is what you are worried about?? Not the fact that it might end my career?" Colby asked with his eyes wide and cartoonish. His hands waving all over the place just flabbergasted as the others started laughing hysterically at his reaction.

"No I am not worried about your career!! Your fans love you way too much to stop supporting you just because you are bald.... Also now that I think about it you can have as many different hair styles and hair colours as you want if you lose all your hair. There are so many wigs to choose from!!!" You answered still giggling at the situation.

You have known for a long time even before the prank wars started that Elton lets his pranks go too far but he always has a solution. He knew how much Colby loves his hair so you trusted him to never hurt Colby.

"Or else just stay like this and we call you princess peach from now." I added just for Colby to shake his head and then scream into his hands. "My own girlfriend roasts me. You know you can defend me sometimes right?"

"Yeah but what's the fun in that princess?"

"Okay.... Okay I see how it is.." he slowly nods his head as he looks at me betrayed and absolutely done.

"Here take this." Elton says while handing him two bottles of nail polish remover.

"What is this?" Colby asks as he inspects the bottle.

"This is what will help you get rid of the wig."

"It's acid!" Corey interjects, "Bruh he literally handed you acid to burn your scalp!" You giggle again.

"Shut up Corey!" You gently scold him looking at Colby's scared expression. His face was drained of all colours like he had seen a ghost. "It's nail polish remover Colby... You'll be fine just make sure to not get it in your eye. It won't do any damage but it'll hurt like hell" I console Colby holding his hand.

He slowly nods and walks into the bathroom. He bends down and turns on the sink faucet then pours the nailpolish remover on his head and rinses it in the sink. "Ow.. ow... It's in my eyes." He backs away. His eyes were now red and watering. You go to him and help him wipe his face. "I told you to be careful!!" You swat his arm.

"I didn't do it on purpose!! Ooooowwww.... It hurts!!" He whined. You keep wiping the drops of water running down his forehead to avoid getting anything in his eyes. Elton zoomed in on Colby's face.

"Oww... It hurts... It hurts so bad... Especially this eye." Colby says pointing his to his left eye.

"Why don't you guys do this in the backyard instead of the bathroom. It would be much easier." You suggested.

"Yeah let's do that" Elton agreed and led the group to the backyard.

"So like should i just jump in the pool or something?" Colby asked

"Or we could use the hose." Corey said.

"Yeah a hose would be a good idea." You agreed as you hugged Colby's waist and kissed his exposed shoulder. Just as Corey went to get the hose Sam and Kat came down the stairs.

"Colby have you not met your other half?" Elton asked nonchalantly.

"No.." Colby says as he casually walked back in the house.

"Oh.. my...goood.." Sam laughed. "Like I saw Colby from upstairs and was like what the fuck but now like... How does this happen?" Sam asked gesturing to Colby's outfit.

Colby gave Sam the same explanation that he gave you a few minutes ago as you kept giggling quietly exchanging glances with Kat.

Finally after goofing around a bit more Colby ended up in the backyard pouring nail polish remover over his head as Elton hosed him down and you recorded them. The wig slowly came off as Colby celebrated.

Once the wig was completely off Elton kept spraying Colby with water. Colby rinsed his hair a bit and looked directly at the camera. As hard as you were laughing before you completely froze when he looked into the lens cause my god did he look good. He looked so good at this moment that you forgot what was going on and the only thing on your mind was Colby.

"I still cannot believe that I was twerking wearing this ridiculous outfit in the street." Colby groaned as the others laughed

"If this was a ridiculous outfit then why do you look so hot in it?" You blurted out. Everyone looked at you as you slapped your palm on your mouth.

"God damn y/n! I didn't know you were kinky." Corey commented as Elton whooped taking the camera from your hands and pointing it at you.

"I said what I said. He looks hot wearing this all wet." Everyone whooped as Colby laughed nervously. "Please tell me he gets to keep this outfit!" You add looking at Elton.

"Yeah he can keep the outfit." Elton giggled shrugging.

"Oh you are wearing this every once in a while." You deadpanned looking Colby dead in the eyes as others hollered.

"As long as you guys keep it down and I don't get to know about any details, Colby gets to keep the outfit!" Sam interrupted.

"You have a deal blondie" I shake his hand laughing.

Once everyone calmed down they filmed the outro. After they finished filming everyone left to get back to their schedules leaving you and Colby alone in the backyard. You walked closer to Colby and gave him a long kiss.

"So I look good in a princess costume?" He asked looking into your eyes

"Yep." You responded popping the 'p' "you look so fucking hot Brock... I swear you help me discover kinks that I didn't even know I had." You whispered as you played with his wet hair.

"You know I still have two hours before I have to leave for the photoshoot." He whispered back as he kissed your cheek.

You immediately pull back and drag him back in the house towards the stairs saying "To the room!" As Colby followed you laughing and stumbling the entire way.

I hope this was good!!

[bots-and-cons]

I loved the werewolf headcanons you did for that other anon! if you could, i'd love to have headcanons for the same but for tfp optimus, ratchet, and bulkhead :D (ps, am i the only person who only watched the wolf scenes of twilight because i thought they were cool but never had the attention span to watch the whole movies 😅)

A/N: The first part with the cons can be found here. This was pretty fun to write tbh. I put a lot of those fanfic werewolf things into this, since I thought it was pretty funny last time. I didn’t do Bulkhead because I didn’t feel like it. Also no you’re not the only one who does that, I have a friend who watches the movies purely for the werewolves

~Optimus Prime~

•Optimus had no idea that werewolves even existed before you told him you were one

•When you first transformed in front of him, he was mostly just curious, he gave you a little pet, very carefully

•You quite enjoy getting some scratches behind your ears and Optimus thinks you’re very adorable

•Being the former archivist he is, he of course wants to do some research to know more about werewolves

•He ends up getting his information from some questionable sources aka some fanfiction and “mythology” sites, but a lot of the information seems contradictory, or just different depending on the source

•So when he comes to you with some questions, you have to correct him a lot

•He asks about the whole “alpha, beta, omega” thing, and he’s got it very, very wrong

•You tell him that, alphas are pack leaders, betas are the second in command and omegas are lone wolves without a pack, but it has absolutely nothing to with the fictional sex thing that fanfiction is about

•Optimus was pretty skeptical about that to begin with, but he wanted to make sure so he asked you

•You really love running in the woods, and you sometimes go with Optimus on scouting missions or patrol

•Your sense of smell is as good in your human form as it is in your wolf form, so you’re a great tracker

•The cybertronians smell a bit odd to you normally and when Optimus comes back from missions, his scent can sometimes be really bothersome to your sensitive nose

•You love sleeping on Optimus’ chest in your wolf form, it’s just nice to be close to him and the scritches and pets aren’t bad either

~Ratchet~

•When you finally revealed your werewolf side to him, his reaction was pretty bland to be honest

•In his head he was pretty much going “What in the name of Primus?!” because how can humans keep getting more complicated?

•You’d think there’d be some sort of limit on how weird things can get but apparently that’s not the case

•You keep revealing new sides of yourself to him, and he discovers more about you every day, but usually the things aren’t as big as you being a werewolf but still

•He doesn’t have a ton of questions, mostly just if there’s anything he needs to know in connection to your health or safety

•His first concern is if your transformation and if it hurts

•He does learn from Miko that werewolves are supposed to only turn on full moons and be aggressive during that time

•He of course sees that this is not correct, when you transform in the middle of the day

•Also the aggressive thing doesn’t seem to apply either, which Ratchet is just glad about, because he would rather not quarantine you every full moon

•The werewolf thing doesn’t bother him, he’s just worried about the fact that your internal body temperature is so high

•Of course it’s natural for you but he still thinks it’s odd, but he just accepts it as another one of your nonhuman features

•In your wolf form you’re a very big, fast and also fluffy, and you’re protective of your family, which is the autobots and the kids

•You’re always looking after the trouble trio of Miko, Raf and Jack and you’re very good at it

•You can always smell the cons a mile away, so you know to keep the kids away from them

[nalyra-dreaming]

Hi Nalyra 💚

As a person who never read the books I have a question nagging at my mind that doesn’t allow me to sleep at night. Maybe this is stupid but i’m gonna ask anyway.

So, Lestat has a rockstar arc, right? How does it work with immortality? As a prominent media figure x being Lestat I can’t imagine anyone forgetting him or not noticing that he does not age. Is it ever explained in the books? I’m truly confused about how it’s gonna work.

I was already a bit skeptical about Daniel being a book writer and being on TV. But LESTAT as a ROCKSTAR? This little tiny thing is eating my brain and I can’t find a solid enough answer or discussions anywhere.

Am i the only person thinking about that? Is there something I don’t know or don’t get?

PS also, the thing about Lestat talking telepathically to Louis about the tractor man for me really confused. He’s not supposed to be able to do that, right? Did Louis imagine it? What was Daniel implying with this particular question?

Sorry for the load of questions 😅 I’d love to hear your thoughts, thank you 💚

Hey!

All good!

So first off: No, Lestat could not talk to Louis directly after turning, that confused a lot of book readers back then^^, and it is our clue that Louis‘ tale has been edited/messed with. “Where does the bullshit start?“ … indeed. It means that Louis‘ tale can not be taken for the truth. S1 and S2 up to Dubai is not (all of) the truth.

And per the rockstar career… it is something like a one hit wonder. A “mediocre star“, there and gone.

Lestat actually tells them he is a vampire. He makes that part of his stage persona, and that is exactly why no-one believes him. A stage persona, an act, hyped just as much and soon as he is forgotten after Akasha kidnaps him bc the mortal world… thinks it an act. :)

At least that is how it is in the book.

I think in the show it will be similar. Or would you actually believe someone on TV claiming to be a vampire?^^

I think it’s very possible he will be dismissed as a performer just the same way.

[matmiraculous]

(I am your God au stalker :3)

More questions-

1. How will trolls 1,2, and 3 go for God au

2. Is there anyone who JD wants to kill so bad?

3. How will the brozone happy ending work out

4. Does brozone (the band) still happens

5. Is there any more ships besides Hickdory and Bruce x Brandy?

6. How many kids does Bruce have, same or does things change

7. What are JDs relationship with Branch, Floyd, and the sisters + Dickory

8. What happened to the country trolls after Delta died

9. JD forgiveness arc?

10. Does JD have any friends, he only has hickory, poor him💀(forgets about dickory)

If you don't know, I'm in love with your god au- I go crazy whenever I remember about it, I even got grounded for being too loud and crazy😅....

(Extra question)

11. Unusually usual chapter 23 when? (No pressure! /take your time on it!\

I almost cried when I got this ask Anon. The joy it brought me you have no idea. It's been a really hard couple of weeks. Onto the questions thought! 1. Imagine Poppy accidentally befriends a grumpy god and she doesn't know he's a god. Now you can imagine trolls 1. As for trolls 2 and 3, it really depends on how I develop the story. 2. Nah, he doesn't really wish death on anyone to be honest. 3. They will get the happy ending. Let's just say it has something to do with their dad. 4. Not really? I mean they did have a band as kids but since they're gods it didn't really become a huge thing.

5. Broppy obviously. As for Clay and Floyd getting a ship? I'm on the fence tbh. 6. 13 still. It's a magic number for him. His little demigod demons :> 7. JD and Floyd got along really well. Floyd wants to leave JD be since he's working through some stuff. Alone. Branch really honestly doesn't remember JD all that much. As for the other three, its probably pretty tense, he's always iffy with mortals. 8. They got a new sheriff but they definitely do not like JD.

9. Oh yeah totally. Clay is going to see reasoning at some point. Honestly, Clay and JD's relationship is the most interesting to me. Like Bruce and JD is my favorite and Branch and JD has a super special place in my heart but Clay and JD just make me want to put them in little jars and shake them y'know? 10. He really doesn't have that many friends. He doesn't want to hurt people. PS. 11. I'm sorry ive been doing other work for school and other personal projects and I am so mentally tired I haven't had time for it. I'll get back to it eventually prommy.

[eliteseven]

hey!!! i've been wanting to do this asks since chapter 2 came out, but unfortunately life stepped up 😭

this isn't an ask for questions or similar, it's just me adoring and fan girling over your writing, it made me LITERALLY giggle when Serena said "Perhaps you’ll get to see it for yourself yet; I’m certain any little Jenevelle or Serena we might have will undoubtedly inherit or learn my less-than-graceful ways.” and Shart said "...You do intend to get me in a family way .” i was twirling my hair, kicking my feet during this scene, and then i remembered: oh dear selûne, why am i single?

and not only that part, i LOVED the "It was a journey marred by loss, blood, hardship upon hardship- but the result is this : serenity. Serena’s own namesake, a feeling brought to life every time their lips meet, or their smiles are exchanged, under the soft glow of the moon." i am in love how you used Serena's name meaning to describe their new life 🥺 it's so genius, but also so simple, them and true 🥺 i am forever enchanted by how you describe and build their cottage in love life, it makes me dream having one with Shart as well </3

but this is, this ask was simply to simp for your writing, hope i let that clear. if not, here goes again: please don't ever stop writing!!!! especially to us, gays, who wanted to live a cottage life with Shadowheart!!!! please!!!! thank you for your attention, hope you have a good day *bow down while taking off a hat*

ps.: i need, URGENTLY, to update myself with the last asks you've been getting lately because you guys have been suggesting more angsty and you are apparently accepting IT???!?!?@? WHAT HAPPENED

🥺 this ask made ME giggle like a schoolgirl and twirl my hair!!!! This was like randomly finding 100k in my wallet!!!! This fed and watered my crops, cleared my skin, nurtured my soul, etc.

To keep this legible on the dash I’m thanking you profusely under the cut lol

THANK YOU!!!! 🥰 you are SO SO kind and I’m undeserving!!! I’m really glad you liked the family bit haha 🥹 Shads was very delighted to find out Tav’s been fantasizing about sharing children with her! (Tav’s timing is just awful but we all knew that lol)

And I’m glad you liked the bit about her namesake, too! 😊 I think Serena’s name represents what she was hoping to achieve in life, and now she has. She was never a particularly serene child, funnily enough, so…she grew into it 🥹

I’m so happy you enjoy all the mushy cottage fluff. It feels cathartic to write, on some level, and it makes me elated to know it can feel that way reading it, too! I feel so honored by your incredibly kind words- and really, I’m just happy I can make you feel happy with my writing, what a gift!!!💕

About the angst: 🤭 it’s just for funsies!!! A little something to spice up the plot and showcase how much they actually love each other. Who doesn’t love Shadowheart slaying Sharrans in the name of her betrothed? I offered domestic fluff and smut but this is what the mob wanted, I fear 😅

Thank you endlessly for sharing your favorite lines, your thoughts, and just generally making my day/week/month/lifetime a thousand times better! 😭❤️ it is appreciated more than you know!!!!

[notsoattractivearenti]

How about some Sonny angst - maybe him being rash/stressed out n breaking up (happy ending please). Or maybe some Sonny jealous imagine - will be amusing to see mr nice guy being all jealous n petty lol

ok i’m drawn at the second idea so gonna write that one! and this turns out to be WAYYYY longer than i expected lmao thanks for sending it in 🫶🏻

ps: i tried to make it gender neutral but somehow i ended up with female reader 😅 nonetheless pls enjoy!

You and Sonny have been involved in an undefined relationship for a while but nobody knows about your situation. Since Sonny is a very well-known football player in the world, you both thought keeping this “situationship” private would be the best thing to do. He also was very protective of you, so he would do anything to keep you safe especially from mean comments strangers would make just because you are seeing their favorite footballer. Even though you were clearly into each other, defining your relationship was something he was kept avoiding.

One day, you two decided to meet in a pub to have some drinks after his training. You arrived there first, sat on a booth then ordered your drink and snacks. As you were waiting for your boyfriend, a random guy came over to you.

“Hey, sorry, I couldn’t help but notice a beautiful person sitting here alone. May I sit here while you wait for… a friend?”

“Um, thanks but I’m good waiting by myself.” You politely refused his offer.

“Ah, okay,” he nodded, “but uh, I have to ask: are you single?”

“Uh…”

That simple question got you startled. Am I single? But I don’t think I am… Yet Sonny has never called me his girlfriend, hasn’t he? You thought to yourself.

Sonny walked into the pub and saw you – and the guy who was hitting on you. He frowned, why the fuck that guy leaning close to Y/N like that? He came closer and sat on the booth behind you, trying to eavesdrop the conversation.

Little did he know, you could smell his perfume. You knew he was there, yet he acted like he was being incognito. You thought this was an opportunity to see whatever reaction you might be getting from him.

“Why do you want to know whether I’m single or not?”

“Because you’re so fine and usually girls like you aren’t single,” he replied, “but lucky me if you are.”

You wanted to vomit but you had to act cool, you still haven’t had any reaction from Sonny.

“Oh wow, if I am what would you do?”

“I want to ask you out on a date, maybe… Soon?”

Good God, say something Sonny! You were pretty upset that he was still silent. What you didn’t know was that Son was already annoyed and about to be filled with rage – and ever since you first got to know him, he was always that “Mr. Nice Guy” people love so much.

“Here,” the guy grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket then hand it to you, “would you write down your name and number?”

You hesitated to give him your name let alone your number, so you wrote your real name but fake phone number.

“I’ll call you later,” he looked at the paper, “Y/N.”

As the guy walked away, Sonny moved away from his booth and came over to you – pretending he just arrived.

“Hey, sorry I’m late” He said flatly as he sat down across you.

“That’s fine.”

“So, was that guy a friend of yours I didn’t know about?”

“What guy?” You acted confused. “Oh, that guy? Nah, he was just hitting on me.”

“Oh,” he tried to hide his jealousy, “what did he say?”

“Doesn’t matter…” you paused. “Does it?”

He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know.”

“Did he ask for your number too?”

“Matter of fact, he did. And I gave it to him.”

He went silent for a while before murmuring “Good for you.”

Instead of being chatty like always, he barely said anything. He seemed very visibly upset but he wouldn’t admit he was jealous.

“Okay, I’ve had enough. If you have something you want to tell me, please, tell it to my face!” You confronted him.

He took a deep breath, trying not to lose his mind.

“I… I don’t like the fact that you gave another guy a chance to date you!”

“And why is that??? I mean, you can’t even call me your girlfriend! I don’t even know what we are!”

“I- You know what, that’s it.”

He got off his seat and walked over to the guy who hit on you before.

“Hey buddy, I’m gonna have to ask for my girlfriend’s numbers back.” He said to the guy as he pointed at you.

You heard him referring to you as “my girlfriend” for the first time and you felt happier than ever.

“Sorry, but she said she was single?”

“Well that’s my fault for not telling her soon, but she is not. She’s my girl and no one has a chance with her but me.”

“No,” the guy refused, “she gave it to me and I deserve to keep it.”

Sonny was about to lose his mind until you dragged him away before anything he would regret happened.

“Don’t be stupid, I didn’t gave him my real number.” You said quietly.

He looked confused. “Wha- Huh? Why?”

“I knew you were listening the whole time yet you didn’t do anything the whole time. I was just messing with you… Though I kinda regret it now.”

He shook his head. “Yeah, okay, that’s fair. Please don’t do that ever again.”

You smiled and kissed him.

“Of course I won’t… You’re my boyfriend now.” You said softly.

“Although…” you smirked, “you look hot when you’re jealous.”

His cheeks turned red. “Y/N… Stop!”

Hi, my name is Boykie. I am the one attempting to write a boy love story as a series with episodes.

♣︎Why am I doing that? There isn't really a deeper reasoning behind it. I've always loved the idea of creating something. Either it be a drawing, a sculpture, a piece of music, or writing a book. I've always loved the fact that I am creating something new, something from my own mind. The unfortunate part being, I can't sing, and I know nothing about art, but atleast I can write. That's why I wrote.

♣︎ Why this story? With Beneath the Surface, there is a great personal influence. A lot of the story's direction and events are pulled from my personal experience as a once closeted gay boy, struggling to understand himself while everyone around you seems to have discovered who they are. Most of my high school days have been that, really. I was pulling away from everyone and everything because I was afraid that being open in front of everyone would've raised questions. Questions that I didn't have answers to yet. So rather keep to yourself. But I've also added elements of mystery in there, think Heartstopper meets Gravity Falls, for Non-straight black boys living in a South African township.

♣︎ What's the end goal? I don't know really. I normally hear from other well established writers say, you should have a direction of where your work is heading to. I don't, I am writing this, because I love to write. I don't have a string of episodes waiting to be published, I am building it as I go, and I love that process. The dream, maybe, would be seeing people read it, and maybe like it. I am not expecting it to be the best thing ever, no, but I want it to be fun, and well received. I just want to create something that someone will find fun.😁

♣︎ The illustrations: For those of you who know technology can easily tell that all the illustrations I've used for the episodes are AI generated. Yes, it's true. Since I cannot yet illustrate them or even afford to pay someone to draw the illustrations for me, I rely on ChatGPT to generate the closest possible image to what I envision my characters to look like. Sometimes ChatGPT doesn't do it right, for example the illustration on the last episode, looks notuing like that of the previous episodes, but what can I do really I work with what I have. Personally, I love illustration, and I love design, but currently I don't have the means or ability to do so. However, one thing about me, I love to learn, I'll sketch up something ugly and work on it until it becomes what I want. As long as I can get my hands on the relevant tools, I'll learn and do it myself (help is also welcomed, wink, wink, nudge, nudge😉😉.)

♣︎ What I'd appreciate from you? Honestly speaking, your likes, your comments, and your input will go a long way. I just want to see that someone out there took 10 minutes of their time to read an episode (Yall read way too fast, my episodes are too short for yall.) Maybe going forward, I'll stretch them a little more and cover more in a single episode. I don't know, we will see. But ultimately, I just want to see people reading it and liking it. So please do comment and tell me what you think.

I don't know if I said it all, but yeah, that's it. Your support will be greatly appreciated, and I hope we can have fun with it. Let's have fun with it. I've attached the link to the blog at the bottom for anyone who might want to check it out. Lol😅 Marketing 🤣🤣🤣.

Thank you.

PS: I've never used Tumblr before, so I don't know if people will even read this whole thing 😅

No Minnie you pretty much exactly got the point! I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I just had this thought and had to get it out right away 😅

that's exactly what I'm talking about, but you worded it way more perfectly than I did. And yes I remember the russo brothers' "why should we?" response to the "how did you dial down the sexual tension on set?" question. And I don't think you missed anything, I don't think "Marvel Studios" would make homo jokes about any of the characters to be honest, however, it's still very in character for Tony if he would; very much more than not. Because I remember in Avengers: age of Ultron, he made a joke about Bruce and Nat being sexually busy with each other during the mission (I don't remember the quote exactly but there was the word "zucchini" in there lol). So yes, everything you said pretty much sums it up.

and honestly, about ao3, I feel you! And thank you for taking your time and giving a thoughtful response even though my ask wasn't clear enough. You're the best! I wish you the best month and hope you enjoy it, even if by any chance, (hopefully not) you're not feeling the best right now, I hope it gets infinitely better for you soon, and if you are feeling well, then I wish things for you to get 100x even better. lots of love, stay safe! 💚

Ps: you don't need to answer this if there's not anything in specific left to say. I know it's a busy month, and hopefully you're busy doing the best things. I loved your tree by the way, it's gorgeous! An early merry Christmas to you 🎄❤️

Awww honey, how could I not reply to this!? This is such a sweet and thoughtful message, and I appreciate it so much 🥺💖

I'm so glad I understood your message correctly and that we're on the same page about this! It really is a bit crazy when you think about it, isn't it? 🤯 Although, it is Marvel, so what did we expect...

And thank you so much, sweetheart!! I actually am actually feeling pretty under the weather right now unfortunately, but I've got a fun trip coming up at the end of next week that I'm looking forward to a lot, so I'm just taking it as easy as possible right now to make sure I have recovered in time for that! 🙏🏻 Your lovely well-wished definitely help, so thank you again for those! 💞✨🥰

I hope you're feeling healthy and happy, lovely, and that your weekend has been filled with fun and good things! Sending you many festive hugs and a very merry early Christmas to you too!!🎄❤️

Beyond the Bell's Chimes | Part 10

Written by: Bobbi Henderson (jayxhobi)

RIIZE fanfiction: Wonbin, Eunseok, Seunghan, Shotaro, Sohee, Sungchan, Anton, Original Characters

Genre: Teen Romance, High school, Friendship, Youth, Growing Up, Slice of Life

PS: Long read ahead! 😅

Wonbin had been feeling out of sorts for days, consumed by his quiet concern for Jiwoo, who had not returned to school. Two days had passed, and the weekend was on the horizon. He even contemplated skipping his jamming sessions with Suyoung, opting to head straight home because the absence of Jiwoo had left him inexplicably bored.

"Hey, I can't help but notice," Seunghan began as they strolled towards the bus stop. Wonbin hummed in response, his attention occasionally drifting to his phone as he checked for any text messages from home.

"Do you like Jiwoo?" Seunghan's question caught him off-guard, causing him to halt his steps and look at his friend as though he had said something amiss.

"What makes you say that?" Wonbin raised an inquisitive brow.

Seunghan shrugged, his lips pursing in thought. "Well, she's been absent for days now, and it's the first time I've seen you so affected by someone's absence," he said, struggling to articulate his observations. "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Hmm," Wonbin nodded. "She is kind," he replied, "But as far as I'm concerned, I am not romantically interested in anyone right now," he answered candidly.

"Then what makes Jiwoo different from Suyoung?" Seunghan inquired.

Wonbin's eyebrows furrowed as he pondered the differences between Jiwoo and Suyoung. "Not sure exactly. Maybe it's that my personality is more compatible with Jiwoo, much like you and me."

Seunghan smiled, "Now you're talking! You're sure you're not in the mood for love just yet?" He laughed.

"Hell no," Wonbin replied.

"That's good because I have to get a girlfriend before you do! I don't want to be the first one left alone. Got it?" Seunghan pouted, draping his arms around Wonbin's shoulder, though Wonbin promptly pushed him away in annoyance.

The dreaded day of the first-quarter quarterly exams had arrived, and it was met with collective dread from students. All-nighters seemed to be the norm, even for those who typically excelled in their classes. The fear of losing their academic rankings spurred them on.

In class 2-A, while most students were diligently reviewing their notes, Eunseok's attention wandered outside the window. The weather was so inviting that he daydreamed about lounging in the shade after school.

Miyoung, their class representative and the student council's secretary, approached Eunseok and tapped his desk. "Hmm?" Eunseok acknowledged her presence. Miyoung handed him an invitation card to her upcoming Saturday birthday celebration. "It's your birthday?" he asked, surprised.

"Yes, I thought it'd be nice if you could come. My parents would love to see you," Miyoung chuckled. "I also invited Sungchan just in case you'd decline the invitation because I didn't invite him first," she added, knowing that Eunseok typically had Sungchan by his side.

"Okay, thanks for inviting me. Is there anything specific you'd like me to bring?" Eunseok inquired. While he generally came across as a nice guy, he had a tendency to switch off when confronted with even the slightest flaw. He could warm up to people as quickly as he could distance himself.

Miyoung's face lit up at his question. "You can surprise me! I know you're more thoughtful than you appear."

Eunseok chuckled and nodded, "Okay, whatever you say, Miyoung. Thanks for this," as he placed the invitation card into his bag.

Just as Miyoung left, Yuri stormed into the room with an annoyed expression on her face. She walked past Eunseok's table and deliberately kicked it while he was in the middle of writing his name.

"Hey, Yuri. What are you trying to do this time?" Miyoung snapped, confronting Yuri.

Yuri stopped and turned to Miyoung with an amused expression. "Oh, just because this guy is so nice to you, you think he likes you?"

Miyoung defended herself, saying, "What are you talking about? Eunseok and I have been friends since before you even came into the picture. If you're so embarrassed to be in the same room as him after he broke up with you in front of everyone, you could have found a new class or, better yet, transferred to a different school."

"Really? You think you're so strong and important?" Yuri retorted, grabbing Miyoung's hair and attempting to drag her across the room. However, Eunseok's sudden action halted Yuri in her tracks. He stood up, glaring at her with a look of contempt.

Yuri growled at him, "How can you not be ashamed, Song Eunseok?"

Eunseok responded nonchalantly, "Beats me. I'm not the one having a hard time accepting that you were dumped."

Yuri began to defend herself, presenting her side of the story to her classmates who were clearly on Eunseok's side. She claimed, "Aren't you ashamed? You're the one who became interested in another girl! You cheated on me."

Sungchan entered the room and witnessed the commotion, which had already soured his day due to the ongoing exams. He chimed in, explaining, "If you're curious about why Eunseok was looking for a girl, it's because he wants to return something to her."

Eunseok chuckled at the revelation, amused by the situation.

Sungchan continued, "Yeah, you heard it right. You don't even know what's going on, and you started harassing a freshman. You nearly broke the girl's legs with what you did."

Despite the exaggeration, Yuri had indeed crossed the line with her actions. She had a history of bullying, but due to her high academic standing and her parents' political influence in their hometown, the school often turned a blind eye to her misconduct. However, her classmates and the students who had been victimized by her had gathered to report her.

Yuri cursed and yelled, "Shit," feeling defeated. She walked out of the classroom, choosing to skip the exam for the day due to the humiliation she had experienced once again.

Once Yuri was gone, Eunseok stepped in front of his classmates and bowed deeply, offering a sincere apology for the trouble he had caused. He knew that dating Yuri would only lead to more problems, but he had already made his choice.

Miyoung attempted to comfort him, saying, "Eunseok, you don't have to apologize."

~

In class 1-B, Wonbin arrived a bit later than the time his classmates had agreed on the previous week. He had barely eaten anything for breakfast, so he hurried to school as quickly as he could. Upon entering the classroom, he greeted Seunghan and the others.

Unbeknownst to him, Jiwoo was already present, having noticed him as soon as he arrived. However, it wasn't until he turned his gaze toward her seat that he realized she was there, lost in her own thoughts.

Jiwoo couldn't help but feel a slight hurt when Wonbin didn't acknowledge her presence, even though she had waved at him. She chose to avoid looking at him, feeling both embarrassed and somewhat hurt for reasons she couldn't quite pinpoint.

Despite her emotional turmoil, Jiwoo managed to perform well on her exams, even though she was still in a somewhat delicate condition. She had experienced an accident with her younger sibling on the same day she and Wonbin had shared the bus ride.

Upon returning home, she witnessed her uncle violently beating her younger brother for borrowing a cigarette lighter to light the stove. Her uncle falsely accused her brother of stealing it, even though he had asked for permission and simply forgotten to return it. Jiwoo intervened to protect her brother, but her uncle accidentally struck her in the gut with great force, leaving her immobilized for a moment. Out of panic, her uncle fled, believing he had seriously harmed her.

Despite the severity of her condition, Jiwoo didn't want to make a big fuss about it. She endured severe stomach pains and barely ate, as her uncle's actions had taken a toll on her. Eventually, her father reported her uncle to the police, leading to his imprisonment. Jiwoo had to stay home to recover, with Shotaro, her neighbor and schoolmate , checking on her when their parents were away. Their afternoons were spent in the company of just the two siblings.

Jiwoo pushed aside these distressing thoughts as she focused on her exams for the day. After completing her tests, she gathered her belongings and placed them in her small bag before heading out.

Wonbin, in the meantime, noticed that Jiwoo was leaving but chose not to follow her. He assumed she was ignoring him. Yet, a nagging feeling gnawed at him that something was amiss. He had eagerly anticipated her return last week and was puzzled by this sudden change in dynamics between them.

Hi author, i read your story and I loved the demo so far a lot! I am excited to see what comes next!

Regarding the skin color topic… i am on your side here. I know people want diversity and inclusion but sometimes those demands are just more discriminating than accepting a story for what it is and a setting that is decided by the author. We all know about the discussion from Arielle the mermaid and i dont think there‘s a specific ethnicity linked to merfolks. But weMre talking vikings here and i feel like if you included non caucasic people you would have to add more backgroudn. How they came there and how the others react … i know people would say, again this is the big R … but, hear me out! I would totally get and respect it if somebody wrote a story about deep asia or deep africa and we are limited in skin tones or background. Nobody says a word about these scenarios. There are some Ifs (like A tale of crowns) that limit the skin tone choices and it is perfectly fine and accepted, so why harrass you here? That‘s all i wanted to say.

Did i mention i love your demo?

Ps. I am from Asia and i do not care if i can pick an asian mc, i want the story to be the best the other feels with

I’m glad you see how much work and change to the story I would have to write if your MC was a different race. It would really change a lot and I want it to be focused on other things rather than race. 😭

And don’t worry, nobody’s harassing me! It was just one person who asked a question. 😅

But still, thank you for defending me, it’s very heartfelt and makes me so darn happy!

Hi I was wondering if u have advice for dating profiles?? The concept of dating apps make me nauseous but I might boarder on desperate in the next couple of months for connection/a girl. It would be cool if I could make a friend especially if she’s a lesbian and then can introduce me to all her lez friends otherwise I might be interested in a hook up ?? As a regular thing. I would say a relationship but atm I can’t commit to that. For context I’m 20. I just have no idea what to put in a bio I know it’s not true but I fear that I am terribly boring and will come across as such. sorry if this is a strange ask 😅

ya my #1 piece of advice is that you should use the written bio to be funny. too many ppl are way too earnest and detailed in their bio. no one is getting to know you until you see them in person or at least really start talking. the bio is just the hook. the best way to hook a stranger into being interested in you is by being funny. if u get some interesting or flattering personal info in there while you're at it, great. for tinder, try for relatively short and sweet. for hinge, answer the prompts funny style, not literally. 90% of ppl on there are answering the same boring questions w the inane details of their personal lives and i promise u it's not helping them make friends or get laid.

it doesn't have to be the most hysterical thing ever written, just hopefully enjoyable to read and sets a good mood for the convo you will hopefully be having.

i used to have mine (tinder) set up as two truths and a lie. now it's set up like reviews. other times ive had it set up as literally just one sentence. honestly u can even check out the bios you find the most charming and emulate them.

in terms of pictures, don't put ones with a lot of filter, it's tacky and low class and makes a person seem like they have low self esteem. harsh but i gotta keep it real.

it's good to have a mix of flattering selfies and pictures of you with other people or doing something interesting. i often throw a meme in there near the back. and even if u think pictures where you are not smiling are the best looking!!!!!! you are wrong. u need to put mostly ones where you're happy. other ppl think you're cuter that way, i promise.

real talk, at the end of the day, most women are a little lazy and a little bit chicken when it comes to dating and getting out there. which is cute and it's ok it's just life. so i also wanna give u some tips for starting the convo.

if u can, u wanna find an interesting detail in her bio and say something funny or ask a question about it. try to get off the app and pick up her number or set up a date fairly quickly. u can do this at the end of a convo by saying something like "hey i gotta hit the hay/i gotta head out, but i absolutely want to stay in touch. could i get your number/are you free this weekend?"

unforch it is a numbers game and most of the time things just don't pan out, but that's ok! it's all just fun and games. Godspeed!

PS also wrt the bio, it's ok to leave a lot of shit blank. leave em wanting more.

hey lady!

i am new here, in a religion of Anna Torv. i’ve watched fringe a month ago for the first time and im shocked that ive never heard of the show for all 24 years of my life. i adore it w all my heart, but have one problem, sometimes i can be too obsessed w people, i mean actors and their characters so it becomes really hard for me to separate characters from actors. what i mean is that i get SO many goosebumps of every anna and josh ss interactions, my breath is taken by each touch and kiss. and of course i’ve read and watched everything i could to understand how their relationships went during shooting and go rn. rn there is like nothing, k. but what about years ago? were they comfortable around each other, did they get along? there are lots of rumors, and i get delusional due to these talks. i see how they marked each other and were quite happy and fine w each other, also josh said some things, that prove they were fine. i mean their chemistry was real (maybe not in a romantic way, but just as they felt comfortable and everything was fine). soo, sorry for this silly paragraph, but i am interested what is ur opinion about anna/josh and the rumors.

ps if it doesn’t feel right to answer me, its okay, i understand and really sorry to make you feel this way!

Hi there !! It’s always so lovely to know new people are discovering Fringe, and falling in love with Anna Torv, even after all these years!

Look, I’m going to be honest with you, I have been part of the Fringe fandom in one form or another since October 2010, back when season 3 had just started airing, and from the moment I stepped into the madness up to now, people have always been speculating about Anna and Josh. What I have also learned is that it’s a thorny topic. People have gotten very passionate about it through the years (especially when the show was still airing, obviously, since both actors were still working together).

As I now stand, I have also learned that people love to bite my head off when I speculate about things, so I’m not going to say anything on the topic. I have plenty to say, since I’ve been here forever and literally witnessed the ups and downs of that particular…partnership, but I’m not comfortable discussing it publicly on my blog anymore.

If you keep searching, you’ll probably conclude a few things on your own. If you’re really keen to find some information, you can always delve into my ‘anonymous’ tag, which contains all the answers to every anonymous message I’ve received through the years, because I’ve definitely answered anon questions about Anna & Josh before. There are over 1300 messages in that tag though, so I don't necessarily recommend it 😅

Hi beautiful, i hope you have a nice day, my question si if you have a mental image of what derrik and selwin could look like, like an actor, etc. ( My english is not my first language, sorry if i wrote wrong) <3

First, I understood you perfectly, don't even worry about it🖤 (PS, thank you! I hope you had/have a nice day as well!😊)

Second, thank you so much for the thoughtful question!🖤 I love these types of asks. Truth be told, I've never really imagined certain actors in particular for Derrik or Selwin while writing them so far, I just have been channeling their personalities, so to speak, more than anything else.

But I wanted to answer your ask, so this is what I've thrown together. It was a little challenging (mostly wanted to find people who could somewhat pass in physical resemblance, and who also did not look fully like grown men if they were placed next to Jace and Luke), so I put explanations below. I'm also a terrible judge of "these two people look related", so please take these suggestions with a grain of salt.

Before I get to it, did you have any actors in particular in mind for either of them, anon? If you or anyone else do, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to send me another ask.

Derrik:

This was a bit harder than I thought it would be. I wanted to find someone who somewhat resembled Ryan Corr facially (since I've described Derrik as essentially a mini-Harwin with reader's eyes). I ended up thinking maybe Spencer MacPherson? He played Charles in Reign, amongst other things. Just pretend he’s got curly hair here.😂

Selwin:

***This one is based entirely off the presumption of using Natalie Dormer/Margaery as a faceclaim for Ms. Tyrell***. And to be entirely honest, I am not sure who either of these guys are, I found them on pinterest by searching for faceclaims😅 But mostly, I just tried to channel Loras/Tyrells in general vibes for this one (since I described him as favoring the Tyrell side of the family/reader in terms of looks).

[khaleesiofalicante]

Dani omg yes, I can't wait for the Brazilian GP! I've read that's it's one of the best tracks and there's so much history because of Senna (yes I saw a documentary about Senna on Netflix) and it's also sort of a home race for Lewis so it will be super interesting. I obviously haven't seen one before, but most drivers seem to really like Interlagos so let's see. Also this F1 page on Insta said that there's a thing since 2017 that however wins pole in Hungary wins the Brazilian GP and I immediately went to make sure who won and it was Lewis! So, that will very exciting to watch, unless Max ruins this superstition too. Honestly this guy, he is ruining everything🙄 (Just a joke please Max fans don't come at me I'm actually kinda fond of him-but Lewis for the win). Horner still pisses me off though. And you know what's funny? I remember a certain question somebody asked Horner at the beginning of this season, about who is the thing he fears for the most the car, Ferrari, or Lewis Hamilton and he went "Fernando Alonso". And now his second driver is in danger of losing second place in the drivers championship to Lewis. Alexa, play Karma by Taylor Swift

This also reminded about the Lewis/Charles disqualification last weekend which I still haven't recovered from. FIA, if two out of four drivers ain't making the cut, CHECK THE OTHER DRIVERS TOO! Seriously, they are just doing it to piss us off at this point.

Sorry about the rant, you caught me in a F1/Lewis day (which is most of the days to be honest).

PS: Every time the race begins I have this little habit of writing "44" above the tattoo I have on my wrist like a good luck charm. I swear I am not a superstitious person, Lewis just brings it out of me I guess 😅 Let's hope qualifying and the race will be awesome!

PPS: I hope the driver of the car gets sprayed with water too, I hate it when that happens, watch the way you're driving buddy, you're not the only one on the road

OMG I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE HUNGARY-BRAZIL THING. THIS IS SO COOL??????

I will ignore every single thing about Redbull, Verstappen (i can't call him Max lol), Horner and everyone there. I shall stay away from them for my own peace!

Also, YES! CHARLES AND LEWIS WERE SO SEXY FOR THAT. FUCK THE FIA INDEED. They should've made another joint post after hehe.

Also, if you haven't watched it already, PLEASE watch the sao polo gp weekend from 2021 because THAT WAS EVERYTHING. Like every Lewis stan should watch it because it was soooo rewarding.

I have high hopes for this weekend and i so goddamn nervous I CAN'T WAIT, VICKY. SEND HELP. Let's see how quali goes today 👀

PS - Your little good luck superstition is cuteeee.

PPS - Also, did you know that this week is the 44th week of the year jfdknvjkd COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.

[wileyfern]

hi hope you’re having a good day!! this is gonna be such a stupid question i’m sorry but i wanted to ask how do you make this transparent frame for moodlets and such ://

Hi! Thank you, hope your day is amazing too 😊 And nope this is not a stupid question. I wasn't sure if you wanted a whole tutorial on how to cut out the moodlets too or not but I did that as well. It's under the cut because it's quite long because I don't know how to get to the point 😅

Step 1: Open the moodlet screenshot from in game in your preferred editing program (I use PS) and crop down to just the moodlet and I zoom in to 375% to see what I am doing better

Step 2: Next on the left side near the top is the 'Marquee tool' I use the rectangle shape and drag a box around the area you want

Step 3: Go to the top under 'Select' and then go down to 'Modify'. Then click on 'Smooth' A box is going to pop up and this is the number for how round you want the corners. If you don't want them to be rounded you can skip this. If you do then I use '2' but mess around with it and figure out what you like

Step 4: Next hit 'Ctrl + Shift + I' to select the inverse of the box and hit 'Backspace' to delete the unwanted background. Hit 'Ctrl + Shift + I' again to select the moodlet

Step 5: Next make sure you have your already edited photo you want the moodlet to go on and copy or drag the moodlet over to that photo

Step 6: Hold down 'Shift' and grab a corner on the moodlet to resize the moodlet to your liking. Holding down shift will make sure that it keeps it's original dimensions. After you are done resizing it go up to the top and hit that checkmark to save the transformations

Step 7: On the right side under layers Double Left-Click the moodlet to bring up ‘Layer Style’. You are going to check 'Stroke' and 'Drop Shadow' You dont have to check both if you don't want to it's totally up to you once again mess around with it and find out what you like

These are my settings for 'Stroke' and 'Drop Shadow'

Final Step: Just 'Merge Visible' and call it good!
