Somehow, Scarlett made her way into Ryuuto’s house. Maybe the few black feathers under the open window was enough of a clue… However, she spotted him earlier than expected, his silhouette sitting on an armchair (reading? Sketching? Pondering?) with his back facing her forced her to freeze in place for a whole second, but she couldn’t back away now!

And so, assuming he already felt her presence anyway –either by instinct or by her perfume–, she simply walked over to him. Quickly. Soon enough, a pair of gloved hands covered the Vampire’s eyes from behind, “...hello~” the soft voice of the redhead Ghoul greeted him, “ha~ppy birthday~ Did you miss me? Well, you don’t get to see me just yet—” Admittedly, there was something she ultimately regretted bringing along, but it was too late to get rid of. In the meantime, she gently but firmly covered his sight from her spot behind the seat, trying to add some mystery while she still could.

“... it is a little embarrassing. I haven’t come bearing gifts this time, but… you see, the bakery was closed, I don’t know how to cook, there’s no way I’d bring a whole musical instrument all the way here by myself to play something, and—… sigh. Gifts are getting harder and harder to make, and it’s all your fault.”

Despite the pouty tone of her ramble, there was a little disappointment hidden in that sigh, directed to herself for the most part, of course. Nevertheless, she quickly recovered. The hands that held his face tilted his head back just as gently, enough to ensure that her eyes would be right above his when she finally allowed him to see again.

“...But I won’t let that stop me from trying. So, I thought…” looking into an upside down version of Ryuuto’s green hues, she offered a cheeky smile, “...what if I spoiled you myself today~? You get to choose how, but don’t make me regret this and take too much advantage of my special gift, okay? It so happens to be something I rarely do for anyone, as well... fufu, so? Do we have a deal? Or should I come back tomorrow with a cinnamon roll instead?”

Her hands slowly lowered to rest on his shoulders. Her own hair, despite her attempts, did not completely hide or exhibit the particular choker she decided to wear for that occasion...

[ Ryuuto's head lifted as he sensed her movement. Dropping by without so much as a warning? How inconsiderate~. Still, his patience served him well; As she covered his gaze, in anticipation of what was to come next, a smile snuck upon his lips. ]

"I was beginning to think you had forgotten about me."

[ Despite this taunt, he didn't interrupt her further as she spoke thereafter. Instead, he was willing to sit back and let her explain herself, and this surprise visit. There was oh-so many quibs that danced on the tip of his tongues at her excuses, but he repressed his desire to be a complete pain-in-the-ass, and - instead - found himself without any need to speak as he was directed to gaze into those all-too-familiar purple eyes. ]

"Ambitious~. You think you can spoil me... all on your lonesome? I'm a hard man to please, you do realise? Fufufu."

[ His eyes flickered down to that choker the very moment she let it come into view, and he drew in a breath. Not because he needed to breathe, oh no... But something about the sight before him suddenly urged it from him. ]

"You know, I rarely say no to a cinnamon roll..."

[ Biting at his bottom lip oh-so softly, pretending to contemplate her offer - although he doubted he was fooling her - he finally found just the right words to answer her. ]

"But, I suppose that depends on how you taste."

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

Synopsis:  This novel is about the relationships that develop between a failed bank robber and an unlikely group of hostages from a nearby open house. Eight strangers didn't realize how attending an open house that day would change them. Although, really, who has an open house on New Year's Eve?? Zara, a wealthy bank director, is there just to secretly observe how ordinary people live. Roger and Anna-Lena, an older married couple, are there as house flippers, a hobby that sustains their fragile relationship. Julia and Ro, soon-to-be parents, are there to find their first family home if they could ever agree on something. They all think they're there for an apartment, but under the pressures of a hostage situation with such an impossible group of people, they realize something even greater.

My Quibs: I was not prepared for the style of a Fredrik Backman book. A thick helping of wacky characters that conceal a small but very serious acknowledgement about humanity. He has a frenetic style, going from one POV to another very quickly. With so many characters to juggle, my brain was racing to keep up with whose story I was reading. And not only does Backman keep a light-hearted and zippy tone, but his characters do too. You have the rambling real estate agent, the snippy bank director, the squabbling young couple. It comes off initially as a comedy. ...except then there's also suicide. One especially important one that connects a lot of the characters. And between these two levels, I got severe whiplash. That's not to say I don't love a dark comedy, but I dunno, the Swedish sense of humor (or is it just Backman?) is really steep. A high high and a really low low - I just don't have the emotional wingspan to stretch between both these points. In the end, I had to pick one over the other. And since it's also a locked door mystery, there was a lot more space to enjoy it as a comedy. A story about a bunch of bumbling misfit strangers who help each other out in the middle of a strange and unfortunate situation.

And just as a minor footnote comment. I need a glossary of interpreted Swedish terms. I had so many questions like "What and why is a cashless bank?" and "What does 'Hows tricks' mean and why is it funny?" and "What's with all the jokes about Stockholmers?". I think a decent chunk of the book was lost in translation.

Should you read it? If you've read other Backman novels and enjoyed them.

Similar reads? I'm not entirely sure I know any. If anything, this has made me think that I need to broaden my repertoire of modern European novels - besides British, I mean.

(Spoiler Alert!) There's really only one secret in the whole of the novel and that's the identity of the bank robber. And chasing that thread really diminishes the theme of Backman's story about humans and our connections to each other. This might be repetitive of what I said earlier but when part of my brain is trying to decipher who the bank robber is and how they managed to escape the apartment, I'm distracted from connecting to the cast of characters. Whom are *also* focused on the identity of the bank robber, both in obscuring it and revealing it. And when we finally do get the reveal that the robber is a her and not a him, I did a real double take and had to flip back in the book to check that I hadn't mistaken things earlier. But no, Backman does a full deceit, using all kinds of male terms and then just slaps us with a "AHA! But she's actually female!". Which is not subtle and not cool. I give a tiiiny benefit of the doubt that this could be a loss in translation. Maybe Swedish is more lose with their pronouns and there wasn't a better way to communicate genderlessness in English? Dunno...

I do give a little credit as to the reveal of her escape. Backman dropped really random and dismiss-able bread crumbs, like "Oh, you know those neighbors were always squabbling and just couldn't stand to live together anymore". Then no more mention of the neighbor. That Estelle once received a key from a man in the elevator, but nothing else really about this man. It was a bit rushed, but it wasn't faster than the pacing of the rest of the book.

What did you think of Anxious People?

[tiffanyachings]

also i’m only up to episode 3 of good omens bc i’m an old-fashioned gal of the ‘one ep per week’ persuasion who hasn’t quite caught up with the binge-watching fashion but what i’ve seen has been DELIGHTFUL

[b-rainlet]

You made me ship Lunya T.T but as a Allison stan this kind made me ship her with Diego... headcanon about the neglected couples? :O

Tbh, there are a lot of ship possibilities that could be seen as neglected couples since there are 7 main people who could be thrust into about 21 ship dynamics - not counting poly ships and not counting ships that aren’t sibling ships - like Klave or Vanya/Helen or even still incest stuff like Gracexthe sibs.

So you see, endless possibilities but there are only about 4 ships who are really popular? Klave, Kliego, Fiveya...maybe Horrance? And even then, most Horrance or Fiveya shippers still see their ship as a rarepair because compared to Klave or Kliego it more or less is.

Which may have to do with the fact that if you’re an anti but wanna ship something you have pretty limited options, so Klave it is.

So you probably want some Allison/Diego hcs but I’m gonna do a little more because Allison is less popular in general so her ships are not that often talked about.

I’ll leave out Alluther because I did some OTP asks about them, but y’all know I ship them because it’s the sweet story of childhood sweethearts meeting again and falling in love all over again and it’s just...*sighs dreamily* lots of possibilities.

Allison/Diego: A fun ship! At first you’d probably say: ‘We have a pretty much functional adult with a child and a guy who eats raw eggs to seem edgy’ so it’s easy to fall into a Hermione/Ron relationship interpretation where you have a dumbass and someone done with their shit - and I can see it being like that occasionally but not always!

When I think about them I mostly think about teasing. They totally do some competitive shit just because they wanna best each other but where that same dynamic could quickly turn into arguments for Luego I can see it staying mostly light-hearted with Allison/Diego.

(Quick question, do they have a ship name? Asking for tagging purposes).

And Allison would take none of Diego’s shit. Oh, Diego has one of his mood swings and tries to be an emo boy and pull that ‘I don’t need anyone shit’? Boy, Allison is a single mother who’s been through a divorce already, she doesn’t have time for your angst.

Lmao, Allison being like: “We’ll sit down and talk about our feelings now” after a fight and Diego complains the whole time but sits down like a good boy.

Also, Allison would do the vigilante thing from time to time because she may pretend to be an adult and above that kinda stuff but it’s fun and they definitely argue over who took out more people.

Give me that power couple pls.

Allison/Klaus: One of my favourite ships! Can be real whole-hearted or angsty depending on the angle you take.

Like, Allison who keeps busting Klaus out of prison with her status and her rumours and who pays for his rehab stay every single time, at first still telling him that she’s gonna fix him with that Hollywood ‘You can do it’ attitude - slowly getting more and more annoyed by her no-good brother, feeling like a babysitter - maybe even refusing to keep indulging his brother, to keep giving him money he’s only gonna use on drugs anyway.

And Klaus who despises Allison’s glamour lifestyle, her polished image and her nuclear family - we could even throw some biphobia in there because Klaus remembers their talks about how pretty girls are but Allison pretends that never happened because it wouldn’t do her career much good. (Just like being seen with her junkie brother, “isn’t that why we can’t meet anywhere that isn’t a back alley? Why you can’t talk to me without sunglasses and a hat? Why you keep your voice down even when I scream at you?”)

Plus, some added angst: Patrick telling Allison to just drop her brother already, he’s just gonna self-destruct and take her with him and that creates tension between the two of them, could even be one of the many reasons for their divorce.

And just like that, Allison loses all of it. And Klaus is there with a cheap bottle of Tequila, already high and grinning at her: “Welcome at the bottom, sister dearest!”

*insert the 30k story about the two of them slowly learning to understand each other and finally being able to heal - with the help from the other but also because they wanna change for themselves. I vote for added bed sharing and sleepovers and them doing each other’s nails but also them fucking once and not talking about it because they were both really hurt and not really thinking when it happened but it staying in the back of their minds until they realize that they could actually work together*

This got angstier than it was supposed to be, sorry! I love them, I swear!

Allison/Five: Probably the least popular one out of all the Allison ships!

I have to admit that I don’t think about Five ships much? Which probably has to do with the whole child body thing but I’m not opposed to ships involving them! (Especially when they’re enby, y’all know my brand).

Allison/Five would be that kinda snob couple who knows they are superior to you and they’re not above showing you. Lots of quibs, lots of sarcasm.

But also probably one of the more mature ones? I can see Allison being unsure at first because Five is- no, looks like a kid and who knows when that will get fixed? And maybe it’s because she’s a Mum but sometimes she just treats them like a child and Five hates it.

(Five probably has to do a lot of courting before Allison considers a relationship. Which is bullshit. They both know there’s tension there, why the fuck is Allison drawing back from that? Just because Five’s trapped in this body? Does Allison think they want that?)

Five aggressively flirting while Allison to herself is like: ‘Hoe, don’t do it.’ but eventually giving in.

And of course, depending on your take of Five’s body, things are gonna be weird. Like, a popular hc is to have Five in a 20ish body but even then, just imagine the headlines.

Allison Hargreeves, world star, dating a guy 10 years younger!!! Is she getting over her divorce with a boy toy?

(Not to mention the pseudo-incest part).

They’d get a lot of shit I’d say.

And Five would be furious about that. How dare they imply that their relationship with Allison is just some fling? They’ll show them. So they make a game out of proving the paparazzi wrong. Makes it their mission to treat Allison as right as possible.

(Also I have feelings about the whole Five - Claire - Allison thing. I mean, just Five mentioning wanting to meet Claire? Knowing her name? I am soft).

And I know I am rambling a little but whether you think Patrick was/is a nice guy or not (I personally think he is), I can see Allison being so obsessed with seeming flawless and having the picture perfect family - as opposed to her own family - that she felt like she could never really be herself? Like she had to hide a lot of her more ‘ugly’ sides to be desirable.

And Five doesn’t care about that shit. Five also doesn’t care about courtesy. Five will jump into her room at the beginning of their relationship, watch her scramble around to try and change into something nicer than her pajamas and apologize for her messy hair and her pimples- “I just woke up, I didn’t have time to put on my make up, can’t you come back later Five?”

And Five’s like: “You look like someone who just woke up. Your hair is sweaty and you have a pretty big pimple on your nose. Also, your morning breath is horrible. Can we cuddle now?”

(Five is the first partner Allison burps in front of. It’s pretty freeing).

Five on the other hand has someone they can be insecure in front of. Where they don’t have to pretend they know all the answers. Be dismissive with. (They’re trying to let all of their siblings in but it’s a process, okay?)

I’m sorry, I’ll stop now but I gave myself feelings.

Allison/Ben: This feels like an easier couple. Like, more normal, lmao. Just a couple of adopted sibs falling in love the old-fashioned way - after one of them gets brought back to live and they survive a near apocalypse their sister caused.

I like to spin some tale of being in love as kids (like with Alluther) but for me the two of them really work better as just being friends as kids and then once Ben comes back, Allison realizes how much she missed him and she’s like “What is this???? Am I....crushing on him??” (imagine the Beauty and the Beast song where they realise they like each other while playing in the snow).

Just...some good and nice slowburn. Maybe some added angst with Ben thinking Allison is confusing her relieve of him being alive with being in love or believes she’s looking for a rebound after her divorce.

Or maybe he believes he’s just touch-starved and that’s why he clings to Allison?

(Imagine the two of them chilling at the mansion together, just picking up where they left off, pretending to still be kids. Allison all excitedly showing Ben what he’s missed during all those years and what he only gets to experience now - let’s be honest this mostly boils down to Allison making him eat a bunch of stuff, not even waiting until he takes a bite himself but just putting it in his mouth because she wants to see whether he likes it).

(I hc that Allison can’t cook for shit but Ben has no real frame of reference unless you count blurry memories of what food used to taste like so it’s heaven to him and Allison is giddy).

They’re just cute, okay?

Allison/Vanya: ANGST. GAY ANGST. I mean, the guilt over what happened, Allison feeling like it’s her fault and treating Vanya all nice but Vanya stilll flinches everytime she sees the angry red scar across Allison’s throat. Plus, if Allison still can’t speak and will never speak again and Vanya tries her hardest to learn ASL with her so she doesn’t have to write down everything all the time.

Young Allison/Vanya with Vanya realising she’s queer and sneaking glances at Allison and immediately feeling guilty because she shouldn’t be looking, it’s wrong and dirty and Allison will hate her and-

Whereas she is completely missing the way Allison is looking back.

Also this ship can easily turn toxic with either of them - or both - getting overbearing after all that happened. And tbh, that’s just as exciting to write/think about.

That’s all I got for now but you’re welcome to talk more Allison/Allison ships with me!

[awwchibi]

i just saw a post about ava+josh friendship and wanted to write yall my thoughts! i've been wondering for a some time how it kinda bothers me  to never see healthy relationship break-ups and specific to druck newgen that it would be unrealistic to see all relationships survive longterm. so i've been thinking, josh and nora are a beautiful couple but both found eachother in a time of emotional co-dependancy. sooo, the next druck season might be at least half a year away lemme propose the following:

josh and nora's relationship comes to a conclusive arc, as in that they both develop emotionally to a point in which they realise their relationship was less founded in mutual love but more in availability, attraction and a mirror to one's own situation. i'd really love to see josh grow from his pleasing and diminishing characteristics to setting firm boundaries and can see nora help him in doing so, since that is what she is too learning. For her i think it's important to come to a place where she doesn’t depend on a stead-fast (romantic) relationship for her emotional balance except the one to herself.

So I do see the both of them breaking up, but in good + mutual terms.

circling back, i do see ava and josh develop a friendship. in her season, i’d like to see nora & josh turn their relationship to a friendship early so josh keeps being around quite often without it being awkward. ava and them stay friends too obviously, and then ava’s lovejourney starts, she’ll have multiple love interests. my thoughts flow as follows:

while she is questioning wether or not there are romantic feelings for huelk. there is the mysteryelement of love again, which like she did in s5, now all, cashqueens + zoe& josh will discuss juicely. it’ll be excitement, joy and rose-tinted glasses. a lil love adventure and everyone is celebratin with her. the point is we’ll get a lot of talks about relationships, at some point either nora, josh or both talk with ava about their relationship and how it ended and how yes, in the end often people leave/ hurt but it is not neccessarily in the way we expect them too. since yes, her unhealed trauma will still be adressed, just not in hellweeks kinda way, but in healing.

ava’s journey of romance or not with huelk will continue. i think at times she’ll retract to her old coping mechanisms again, in her time of non-communication and attempted isolation, josh will be able to relate to her cuz our girl continues sharing the songs she’s listening too & self written lyrics. he too processes with music. seeing as she is self-isolating from her friends and she does not consider josh to be that kind of part of her friendcircle yet, she’ll allow herself to continue to talk with him. even if it’s just cryptically and music-related but they both understand what the other one is saying. long story short, season continues and the idea of her and huelk will move forward but SURPRISE ava realizes she isn’t in love with huelk but with JOSH. and guess what JOSH IS IN LOVE WITH AVA TOO. everybody is happy, black love for the win, the end!

also they’d have the possibility to adress and explore racism & colorism through conversations between all three black characters. would love a scene at a party (if we’ve left the pandemic behind us), where maybe the three of them end uo together just vibing about music and maybe at that point somebody plays some white gen z music but they all are still vibin and get into a conversation about their love of all kinds of music but in which way racism even messes with that. maybe they all realize how when they were younger all of them had this extreme love of white ppl songs because of pressurres to assimilate. they’ll throw in quibs like, we know our ppl invented or revolutinied all these music styles, and yet it was and still is such a difficult journey to find love and empowerment in their music taste just because racism messes so heavily with it.

bonus points if they’ll talk about miss e. badu, because most of us at some point will experience a rite of passage by being introduced to baduizm.

i do wanna say tho, I WANT AVA TO HAVE A HAPPY SEASON !! please do not be her season be a lecture about racism or colorism, yall did this in fatou’s season. ava suffered this season so much off-screen. why?

anyways the end of my ramblings.

- The epitome of apathy, Craig Tucker has never been anything but nonchalant when it comes to his life and other related catastrophes. As long as he's not missing his favourite tv show or being hassled into another one of his classmates' ill-advised schemes, the boy truly doesn't care. Why should he? He's almost halfway through his Junior year at South Park High, which he's already figured out means he's only trapped there for another year and a half. Yet, there's only so far flying under the radar can get you, and unless he can get his grades up before the end of the school year, he won't be graduating with the rest of his class. Luckily, there's a blonde-haired recluse who might be able to help him - in more ways than he'd hoped.

The only thing that feels solid is Tony: the Blip and fatherhood have mellowed him and Peter loves the bond they have now, but Tony needs to focus on his own recovery - not small time Peter Parker problems. When things at home take a turn for the worse, Peter decides that he'll handle it himself. After all, if May is happy, he is happy, right? Right?

It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway. So he leaves. Simple. Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on. And that’s when things get complicated.
