snippet -> play fake 13 | rafe cameron x female reader

draft version

Lost in the spiral of his own thoughts, Rafe didn't even realize that you moved closer. Your back now facing the wall as one of your arms extends outward, draping across his chest. He freezes. Rafe assumes it's an accident, something you'll retract in a matter of seconds. But when your arm reaches out again, seeking the curve of his neck, he realizes it isn't. Taking it as a sign, Rafe lowers himself to grab the underside of your thigh, pulling your weight onto him. The moment you’re in his embrace, chest resting against his, you wrap your arms around his shoulders. And, in return, Rafe nuzzles into the open crook of your neck, inhaling your scent. “No touching, huh?” He mumbles into the softness of your skin. But when there’s nothing but the sound of shallow breaths and the emptiness of replies, Rafe realizes you truly fell asleep. You just reached for him unconsciously. His heart races for a brief second at this implication, before calming to a normal rate, matching the steady pace of your own breaths. His grip around your body tightens, just a tinge, because in that moment, he doesn’t ever want to let you go. “You need me,” Rafe murmurs the confirmation into the column of your throat, hoping the words would sink through. “And I need you too.”

note: i am so so sorry for the late update, here's a snippet of the upcoming part! iykyk

[padfootastic]

hello! i am back with yet another…thing. thank u for the tag @lovelymasks <3 (i realised, upon second reading, that this was supposed to be a sunday snippet but i’m an idiot n therefore this is now a saturday snippet mwuah)

I think you should go to a Healer, Sirius. 

Why, he’d asked, flippant. What was there to do with a Healer when you were a convict on the run? Besides, Sirius was wrong in a way that couldn’t be made right. He was past the point of return. Healers would’ve barely known what to do with him before Azkaban, let alone in the condition he was in now. 

Because you look like a stiff wind will blow you over, Harry’d answered, though the answering flippancy didn’t quite land the way he intended because what Sirius heard was ‘Because I don't want to lose anyone else.’ 

What Harry didn't say, and Sirius didn’t want to hear, was ‘Because I can’t lose another parent.’

He quietly acquiesced after that. The trembling, hopeful smile growing on his godson’s face was enough to wipe away all apprehensions after that. 

Until now, when Harry was at Hogwarts, and he was second guessing this whole business. 

Did he really need a Healer, like, really?

One look at the mirror in front of him gave him a solid, sturdy answer. 

He was dressed in his old rags and it was a testament to the conditions of Azkaban that clothes from when he was younger, before hitting his final growth spurts, were barely just fitting him now. Sirius’ back was almost constantly bent these days--all days spent curled up in a ball seemed to have reshaped his skeletal structure, who knew--each vertebrae gaining a distinct notch in the column of his skin. His stomach was a fascinating blend of too small and too bloated. He couldn’t keep anything down, but he wasn’t able to eat much either. A mystery for the ages. 

Less said about his face, the better. Sirius wasn’t vain, never had any reason to be, but there was a certain…pride he’d maintained, a level of outward appearance that was considered bare minimum for a Black, a conditioning he’d never managed to shake off. 

It was that conditioning itching at him now, turning him away from any reflective surface before he could see his distorted features, grotesque and inhuman, staring back at him. 

And ultimately, it was that, he realised with a shameful sort of guilt, that pushed him to see a Healer. Not his godson’s pleading look, not concern for his wellbeing--but leftovers from an upbringing that he hated, his mother’s words he couldn’t stop hearing, his father’s sharp commands. 

Ultimately, it was his blood that made him give in, as it always did.

[aesadraws]

Had the impulsive thought that I could do a (very chill, no obligations) kinktober run if I just spent the month writing all the little smut ideas I get that I don't want to have to write entire fics for.

[chronically-ill-psionipath]

Can you show us all pf the Trix art you’ve ever done? I love him sm

👤: OOoooo....... Uhhhhh okay :,D But I began drawing more Trix art because of this account so nothing is new-

OLD ART WARNING!!!!! SEMI-LONG POST(?)

TRIX IS THE QUESTION MARK! I never drew him a design at that time... so I guess this would clear up some things for the people who used my art for Ruy Ignis bots. It's a jumpscare to see my funky art XD He also made a small appearance in an animation I made.

TWO YEARS AGO, so it was a funny snippet. Now, my first ever Trix art design:

HIGHLY SATURATED COLORS!!!!!! WOOO- So, I wanted him to have Vitiligo because we don't really see much of elves having skin 'special' varieties! So I made him have it! The hair was just a fun design.

Now, my first Trix drawing after two years. The reason why I didn't drew his "HC" appearance was because I received no feedback of it, so I just assumed I should just scrap his design. THEN TRIX LOVE AND MENTIONS OF MY OLD DESIGN POPPED UP SO >:0

My submission for the Sexyman Drawing. I wanted him to look tired like he is :((

Then there is the funny 'comic'!

That is when I got a Trix art request!

I started with the 'painted' look, still some lineart, but I love it! This art piece took 2 hours T0T. I turned his saturation down a-bit.

AND THEN THERE WAS MORE REQUESTS

Angsty Trix :(( He had a loving GF and everything. I struggled because KLEKI didn't save my layers-

Then there is this.

DON'T ASK WHERE HIS OTHER 'PATCHES' ARE. I FORGOT TO ADD THE ONE ON HIS FOREHEAD AND EAR *hides*

And finally... recent.

Look how angelic he looks and he WON AGAINST JUERK!!!

I WAS SHOCKED!

That art took 1 hour. It is really hard to believe that I was about to scrap his character design T0T

The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973)

Here are my thoughts on the alleged best album of all time, TDSOTM! Before I even begin to write my thoughts here on the songs, I want to comment on the album title! The title already makes the album very intriguing, since the dark side of the moon title here is (probably) a metaphor for the hidden dark sides of humanity we don’t always see, at least in my opinion! Since the dark side of the moon is a side of the moon we never see when looking up at the sky, but it will always be there, along with the light side we see (just like humanity)! Anyways, here are my thoughts (which turned out a lot more lyric-based than I thought, oops)!

Disclaimer: I have already listened to this album before, so these technically aren’t my first time thoughts like with other albums!

1. Speak to Me

The heartbeat intro is very intriguing, and I love how you can hear snippets of later songs on the album here (e.g., Money, Time, and TGGITS), already showcasing a theme of life here (birth of a child, especially because of the scream borrowed from TGGITS, which sounds like childbirth). 

2. Breathe in the Air

And then we get this gorgeous transition into this song! The guitar work here is particularly lovely, along with the bass and keyboards! Makes you feel like you’re floating. David’s voice here is also lovely! I love the reference here already to Eclipse in the lyrics! The lyrics already set a very interesting theme of life/a person being born and parents giving their kids independence and showing a person’s childhood. 

 3. On the Run

Love how ominous this feels! It gives me video game OST vibes! The synths here are just awesome as well! Very futuristic sounding still in 2024! As the song title says, this song is probably supposed to represent someone “on the run,"  maybe from time, considering it’s the next song? But you can’t run from time, which Time will later go into more. This person on the run here is imo definitely the same one that was born in Speak To Me/Breathe in the Air.

 4. Time 

This song…. Omg it’s so freaking good!!!!! I love the intro here, since it makes you feel like you’re out of time with all the clocks ticking and ringing (the person running from time in the previous song, of course, didn’t succeed; at least I think that is what it’s supposed to represent). And then comes the rest of the instruments along with a heartbeat!! Godddd this intro is so freaking badass and really sets the mood for how depressing/ominous this song really is (the keyboard in this intro is especially so cool). The keyboards here really make the song this good, along with the guitar! Then the guitar kicks in, and along with it the very meaningful lyrics. These lyrics about time always being there and it isn’t going to stop for you even if you’re young/the passage time/you shouldn’t waste time are so freaking good. And then Rick’s ethereal vocals hit in the interludes (I love his voice so much; also, only now with this listen, I actually know this is Rick singing here; previously, I thought it was David singing the entire song; it makes me realize how far I’ve come in terms of PF lore). Then the guitar solo starts after the lyric “You missed the starting gun!" Godddd the placement of the amazing amazing guitar solo directly after that hard hitting verse is really really good! (It shows the despair of having wasted important time imo). The background vocals in this song are also just so goood and really showcase the ethereal/omnipresent nature of time. Then the rest of the lyrics hit! With the “closer to death” and “hanging on in quiet desperation” lines being particularly heavy hitting and meaningful here!!! I just love the combination of the hard hitting instrumental and lyrics! Also love how the melody here goes back to Breathe In The Air to showcase the person being born returning to their childhood one last time (forgot to mention that this is still the same person from the previous songs here)! One of my absolute favorite Floyd songs and one of my favorites on this album! Along with the next song!

 5. The Great Gig in the Sky 

Goddd the transition here is already amazing. And then you get the absolutely divine piano playing by Rick here, making you feel like you’re floating again! And then the beat drops with the absolutely incredible vocal solo by Clare Torry! This song is just so freaking powerful and good sounding it’s amazing!!! The melody here is divine as well! I also love how melancholy this song is and how the vocal solo is technically just a guitar solo being sung instead of played on a guitar! This song, in my opinion, represents the afterlife/death, especially because of the quick monologue here of “not being afraid to die” (and also the fact that it follows up Time, which is about trying to cheat time and being afraid to grow old). The way Torry sings the vocal solo also kind of sounds as if she is dying and giving it her last all (screaming in frustration and in fear of dying—the person from the previous songs desperately doesn’t want to die). Additionally, the end of the song is about accepting death imo since Torry stops singing as powerfully as she did before eventually stopping and thus showing that the person who’s dying has accepted their fate (this is probably still the same person from the previous songs, this time dying). TGGITS is probably my favorite song off this album ngl (and one of my all time favorite Floyd songs).

 6. Money

And here is another one of my favorite Floyd songs ever! The bass/guitar riff here is so iconic and good (fun fact: I learned how to play the bass line to this song!) along with the cash register noises. The groovy vibes here are just so good, and the 7/4 time here makes the song really unique and cool! And the lyrics about how money/capitalism/greed corrupts people here, of course, are amazing as well, though it doesn’t connect with the end of the last song well… Maybe this is a flashback to when the person was alive and succumbing to greed?? (After all it’s been said that your life flashes before your eyes when you die). The guitar and sax solo here, of course, are just sooooo good and groovy as well (especially the guitar solo, omgggg, I was blown away when I first listened to this song)!! The melody here is amazing as well, and I just love how intense this song is! Not to mention, when the solos hit, I was head banging hard! David’s voice here is also so good and soulful! Along with his guitar playing, of course, as well (love the wah wah effects). Also, Nick's drums here are a highlight!! He has such good drum fills here!! The outro here is also so cool (David’s “aways”/vocal scatting is just sooo good, always makes me sing along, in fact, this whole song always makes me sing along).

 7. Us and Them

And then we get this gorgeous keyboard transition!! It's been a long time since I listened to the second half of songs on this album, so let’s see how this turns out! I love the guitar and drums here already—very ominous but pretty sounding! And then we get a soulful sax! I’m also just noticing how well the band plays here on this album as a unit! Then an absolutely beautiful and intense beat drop hits and it’s so good!!!! And I also really like the lyrics here about the negative/dark side of the military and the horrors of war, and the guitar playing here is sooo good as well (sorry for repeating myself so much, I have nothing else to say but that the guitar playing on this album is simply incredible). And then we get a lovely little piano solo from Rick (my comment from my obscured by clouds review still stands: I love his piano solos!) And then there is a lovely sax solo as well! I adore how intense this song is and how full it sounds (even though it makes it very hard to hear what lyrics are being sung in the beat drops—at least imo since I’m not a native speaker and didn’t have the lyrics available to read at hand because I listened to this album on a flight, so I had to listen very carefully for what lyrics were sung on this album)! I also love the echoe effect on David’s voice here! As if people were imitating what he is saying (just like the lyrics are writing about in terms of conformity -> “which is which and who is who”). Surprisingly one of my favorites as well (haven’t heard this song in a while and was surprised at how good it is)!

 8. Any Colour You Like

And then there’s this absolutely incredible instrumental!! I love love love love the synths and guitar here!!! I especially love the synth solo here! It’s very ahead of its time! The guitar effect here is just so cool sounding as well. The fact that this is after Us and Them could maybe show how a soldier is pushing away his issues/negative feelings about the military/war with drugs (especially since this definitely sounds like a drug trip, imo). The bass here is also just sooo good! I’ll repeat it here: the band is playing really well together in this album!! This song also just sounds so otherworldly and divine as well! One of my favorites off this album as well!

 9. Brain Damage 

Love how ominous this already sounds!! I really like Roger’s voice here (and also his harmonies with David omgggg) and the lyrics about mental illness are also powerful (especially in the choruses). I think this song is definitely based on Syd imo (especially since this song’s lyrics about mental illness kind of resemble Syd’s experiences with Pink Floyd imo and also the fact that this song is placed after the drug trip song (definitely a very deliberate choice)). The lyric “the band plays different tunes” also adds to my assumption since this is exactly what happened after Syd got kicked out, and it also resembles lyrics from Jugband Blues here about being replaced. Additionally, the “lunatic is in my head” line could refer to the fact that the way Pink Floyd treated Syd still haunts Roger and the rest of the band (which is something that will come up more in the next album). The melody is also so good, as is the synth at the end. 

 10. Eclipse

And here comes the climax of the album, shown with an incredible transition!! This song is so good and really shows off everybody’s best playing here! The vocal harmonies are also so good and really hammer home that we are not alone in this world: everyone experiences bad things in life/the experiences mentioned here in this album! Also, the lyrics here are such a powerful and meaningful ending to this album! And then the heartbeat starts again, showing the endless cycle of life (and maybe even reincarnation, imo) and that the experiences in this album are bound to happen again and again until humanity no longer exists. As I said, very very powerful!

 

In general, this album is just as good as I remembered it to be! The instrumentation is absolutely incredible, along with the lyrics; they’re both equally good here!! I also love the implementation of the darker experiences of life theme here, and it was also really well done and executed! Every song here is simply incredible: there is no filler, in my opinion, and every song serves its purpose! Not to mention the transitions here are immaculate, and the whole album feels like one very good, very unique experience! As much as I love this album, though, I have to say Meddle is still my favorite (even if it has one filler song), because it just sounds more raw and improvised, and I really like its sound more than TDSOTM’s sound (it’s very polished sounding, I like my music sounding a bit more raw). But TDSOTM is definitely my second favorite album so far (and it’s also a close one at that). Next up is another album I’ve already listened to (a while ago, probably 2 years ago for the first time just like with TDSOTM) but never wrote my thoughts on: Wish You Were Here! Excited about that album as well, since I remembered it to be very good!

[robinsnest2111]

idk how exactly it started but, parts of the dream(s) I just woke up from

mash up of a couple snippets of my latest concert experience (being in the crowd, cheering, also having the honor of announcing one of the songs with one of the bandmember's girlfriends <- the announcing the songs part being entirely fictional tho)

which somehow morphed to that concert happening at a monastery that also offered hotel/bed n breakfast services. the next morning I was one of the monks of the order running the place along with my emotional support coworker. (lmao fratello phil and fratello robin, imagine that). 2 guests who also attended the concert the night before were checking out, and buying some necessities for the road at the small shop part pf the whole thing. I sold them (or at least tried to) some snacks and beer/soda mix.

the beer/soda mix, as it turns out didn't exist in the fridge behind the cash register. literally pushed the conveyor belt leading up to my station away just to see that the lower part of the fridge was missing which means no root beer or other alcoholic beverages (parts of my mind were probably still at work at the movie theater where we sell red wine/white wine, sparkling wine, beer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions, and the beer/soda mix lmao)

so they had to buy other drinks for the road. the mom (was a mother daughter duo) asked me if I could get some items from the local grocery store before their next stay and I assured them we could work something out if they mention specifics in their next booking e-mail lmao (the mom requested I buy her various kinds of pre-diced fruit mixes and specific drinks for her daughter lol)

there were also some parts of the dream of a young-ish couple living in a trailer, the woman helping her man with some tasks in the kitchen in the evening. the man left the back door open to let the cool night air in. the woman went into another room to grab something and when she came back, her man jumpscared her by standing in their backyard under the dim light of the moon and stars to get more of the crisp air and cool off for a bit. though the woman was initially scared by the dark silhouette in the backyard she quickly realised it was her man and they both laughed about it. very sweet and domestic and lighthearted tbh

the 3rd part of the dream took place at some kind of palace, vaguely 18th century, a small group of 4 nobles walking down a corridor/pathway. a couple (man and woman), a man (a friend who was also over for a visit), and the owner of the palace. while they were walking (the couple was about to leave for their own residence again), the friend of the man at who's palace they were all staying kept making (un)subtle flirty expressions and bedroom eyes (very much along the lines of that one johnny berchtold video where he flirts with the monster in the hallway) at the man, the wife seemingly unbothered. the man was equal parts flustered and into it, since the other man was quite pretty and infamous for being a unique and excellent lover... the guy had to be reminded to stop staring all lovestruck and borderline horny out in the open and get into the carriage with his wife once all their belongings were loaded up and ready to go lol the owner of the palace lightly scolded his friend for being so extremely flirtatious and flustering the woman's husband like that

also some random snippets of walking along a bridge, collecting things from boxes evenly spaced out along the entire length of it. talking to some other people out on a walk. idk what we talked about anymore tho... (maybe because it happened near the start of the dream where it all was less cohesive)

okay if those are the kinda dreams I have when the melatonin works right and I get exactly 6 hours of sleep, then please more of that!

[urcharactersclasspect]

An example of "if someone writes a shitty person being a shitty person, even if they are an entirely fictional character and creation, that means the writer must condone every shitty action they take!" And this mentality needs to just die already.

Example Is probably Vriska Serket.

What I mean is the Tavros and Vriska incidents. And how I used to see people discuss these two.

Lemme explain.

Basically, I used to see people who havent read homestuck in maybe months or years, blanket statement criticize Homestuck for "using slurs" and "having ableism". Never express or explain the context of the ableism or where the slurs are, they cant even sometimes point to examples. But hold it up as a point against Homestuck as an entire piece of Media entirely. Almost as if it really was just "the times, so humour was different." Aka, as if the usage pf these things were just something INHERENTLY CONDONED BY THE COMIC, always. No matter what. its just "for funnies."

Vriska doing what she did to Tavros for instance. Vriska Serket, a character youre NOT supposed to even be agreeing with, be condoning the actions of, and actually set up to be unlikable on purpose and a massive bitch. We see this in basically everything from her intro to snippets of her before it. You are not meant to enjoy or agree with what Vriska Serket does. And what she does in canon, is Tosses Tavros out of his wheel chair and tells him basically to just stop being a cripple.

Caliborn is also a very strong contender cause hes homophobic, sexist as hell and a complete asshole. Thats also entirely on purpose and you arent meant to like him or agree with him whatsoever. Its made VERY CLEAR you are not meant to condone his actions or his supporters. They are murderers and people who do very dark things for him. Hes based on irrationally stupid rage bait "haters" of homestuck who are just fans who act like they hate it, but are obsessed with it anyways. This was intentional on Hussies part. You are NOT supposed to condone his actions. Hes meant to be absurd.

These characters are ASSHOLES. this was the POINT. of these characters being this way. They are going to be ASSHOLES.

But a lot of people saying "theres [problematic thing] , so the comic is bad." wont actually tell you why theres ableism. or WHERE theres ableism. They just say "theres problamtic stuff in there" and a lot of newer fans tend to just copy and paste the sentiment and dont even think about it twice and run with the idea its all just mocking disabled people or something inherently with it and how its all the messaging hussie was trying to send.

MC pf breakup

mc pf breakup: You’ve found the sole Moonchaser wip (that’s anything more than a vague idea)! In this modern no-magic AU, James and Sirius are each other’s firsts and have been together since school, but Sirius’ music career takes off and he breaks up with James, devastating him. Remus is a supportive friend, having a somewhat strained friendship with Sirius (they’re all friends, but James is the hub, plus Remus has a long-term but futile hidden crush on James), and James starts to adapt to life as just James rather than JamesandSirius. Of course, just as James and Remus are starting to develop into something more than friends, Sirius returns with regrets about the breakup…

I might post a snippet from that one later, when I have access to the file, if anyone’s interested.

draft version

Whatever it is, you know it has to be bad. You eye the fresh cut on Rafe's bottom lip and decide to comfort him with one of his vices. Pouring out a glass, you hand it over the counter. "Need a drink?" "Need you," Rafe sets the drink down and grabs your hand, leading you out from behind the bar, before stealing a kiss. He pulls you closer, into his lap, while roughened scraps of his raw knuckles skim across your cheeks. It's delirious how good they feel.

🌪

This is an answer for the prompt: 🌩️ Share something funny/cracky from your WIP. Other prompts are listed below. Please send them to my ask box!

Edit; this looked like a lightning bolt on desktop I’m so sorry 💀 ---------- An unposted excerpt from Not A Lot, Just Forever (A Serrenedy Week oneshot series and collection of mostly-sexy-epilogues for Simulation Swarm)

Maybe they got a little too into it, because they’re definitely drunk. A whirlwind of swaying and scattering claws, barely muffled snorts and scrabbling grasps at walls is not a hard thing to hear as they come stumbling down the hall together. In fact, the vague shadow of them can probably be seen from the candlelit hallway- tails intertwined and arms about each other's shoulders- as Jill snatches the bottle of sake from Leon's hand as he manages a semi-hushed protest.

"Heyyyy, Jill!"

"Shhh! Shut up!"

They stumble right past Luis and Leon's shared door before Leon seems to skid to a halt, much to Jill's seeming amusement.

"What? Pf- what?"

"I forgot the door."

She giggles. Which prompts Leon, haplessly, to fall into a fit of giggles that goes all echoey as he haphazardly snags the bottle back for another drink.

"Where're you gon' go?"

"I dunno. Where's our husbands?"

"...Do- what if it's the wrong floor?" She starts, but she sounds more amused than anything in her conspiratory whisper. "Oh my god!"

"Oh my god-"

They don’t have time to argue -or are they arguing? More laughing at what massive idiots they are- before one of the doors slides open. For all of two seconds, Leon’s worried that somebody’s gonna be pissed off that they’re being too loud. He’s hardly even sure where it’s coming from, but a familiar voice cuts sharp and hushed through the otherwise still of the hallway.

“Oye, borrachos!”

He and Jill whip around in tandem, so fast they only narrowly miss knocking their heads together. Luis is standing there in the doorway with one of the weird cigarettes glowing a lovely amber between his fingers. He clearly looks amused, taking in the sight of them standing there with a dubious grin.

They’re both hot messes. Hell, it has Leon a little sheepish. His kimono- it’s like, a layer and a half (they’re supposed to be blending in or something), some kinda half loincloth underwear going on under what, to him, feels like the world’s comfiest pink and purple floral bathrobe. Kimono. It’s not a bathrobe, it's a kimono, and the only reason it’s still on his body is the black cord around his waist. Jill’s in much a similar boat. She’d insisted on not having the super long, six layered one, so she’d ended up in a yellow men’s kimono not unlike his own.

She totally hadn’t had any nip slips or anything, no way.

Luis stands there like he’d been keeping an eye on them out the bedroom window and he already knows the answer to the question he’s asking.

“You two drank too much, didn’t you?” Thankfully, Luis doesn’t sound mad (which is great, because that means his plan is gonna work pretty well), simply humorous, enjoying watching their shitty little scramble down the hall. Still, he offers a nod with his chin. “Carlos is down the hall.”

Jill immediately breaks into a genuine snort, and she goes teetering, leaning back against him as Leon clings on and tries not to look too embarrassed. But his face does, flushed or not, light up like Christmas.

“No!” Leon chimes instantly, as if he’s forgotten he’s still holding their almost empty bottle.

Lunch Gossip Circle

Location // Characters: Aberdeen // Hallie and Lance

October 2004 - The gang discusses Hallie's new hairstyle during lunch and Lance is less than thrilled about the subject.

Status/Notes: unfinished/Just a wee snippet about the teenage gang, because they amuse me. xD

***

Pointless debates, needless conversations about things that had no actual impact on anything or anyone - Lance Abbott did not at all feel like having any of those today.

Yet here he was, in the school's dining hall, surrounded by his friends who had picked a particularly irritating subject to discuss. Lance tried his best to block most of it out and just concentrate on the stale food in front of him, but it was easier said than done.

"I'm just sayin' it looks weird, alright? Nothin' more." Fozzy shrugged and proceeded to pour a rather disturbing amount of gravy over his mashed potatoes, earning himself a disgusted look from Cal next to him. "YOU look weird." Cal said, wrinkling his nose and yanking the gravy pot out of his friend's hand before he could use it all up. Fozzy just snickered. "Pf, tell me something' new. Hallie has never looked weird so far, though, and… I don't know? I just don't get why she would deliberately choose to look like… like, uh-" "A deranged pink raccoon?" Diana blurted out, and Lance could tell that she was not even trying to keep her tone remotely friendly.

He shot her a harsh look from the side but Diana didn't even flinch and instead just flashed him one of her saccharine smiles, which usually had every bit of potential to instantly incapacitate his brain function, but now it really just rubbed him the wrong way. Fozzy however cackled loudly at Diana's remark, causing some of the other students in the dining hall to turn their heads. "Good one, Di. Good one. She's a keeper, Abbott." he laughed, pointing at Diana with his thumb while shoving a fork full of mashed potatoes into his mouth with the other.

Lance did not find his girlfriend's line all that funny. Granted, he had not quite made up his own mind about Hallie's new look just yet. He was not exactly a fan but there were sure some people who looked worse; he could name quite a few without even thinking. And while Lance was usually not at all above poking some fun at his friends either, there was something he did not quite like about the way the others talked about Hallie behind her back today.

"Gravy." he merely mumbled into Cal's direction, who passed the pot over to him. Lance looked into it - it was indeed almost empty. "Thanks." he sighed, grabbed his dessert spoon and scratched out the last drops. His heart sunk a little at the sight of his lunch - this had to be the poorest mashed-potatoes-gravy-ratio in school lunch history, but Lance figured he would have to live with it. "Did you hear that, Lancie? I'm a keeper." Diana chirped, slightly nudging him with her elbow. "Why is it always others who have to tell you?" "Cause sometimes I can hardly believe my own luck." Lance said dryly and put the pot away, and although he was convinced that his sarcasm was impossible to ignore, Diana seemed to be happy with his sentiment, as she now leaned into him a little and rested her hand on the inside of his thigh. "What's up with you?" Lance heard Cal ask, after a while of them all eating their lunch in silence. He looked up a few moments later, realizing that everyone had turned their heads to stare at him. Cal was obviously talking to him. "Huh? Me? Nothing." he answered. "You're all getting on my nerves today, but apart from that, I'm good." "You're really being weird today." Fozzy backed Cal up. "Is it about Hallie?" "It's not." "Come on, Abbott, you have to admit, that look of hers is strange." "I don't know." Cal barged in. "I kinda like it? It's unique!" "Pf, unique. I mean, what's even going on with her eyes? Who told her it's a good idea to make herself look like a-" "Deranged raccoon!" Diana insisted. "Seriously, she looks shite and I wouldn't want to be caught dead looking like that, you know?" Lance rolled his eyes. "No one asks you to imitate the look, so if anyone ever caught you dead, you should be fine, thank fuck." he snarled, knowing that he was being unnecessarily rude now, but Diana didn't exactly flaunt her nicest side today either. "What the- if you wanna be crabbit, let it out on someone else?! Like you don't find it weird. You said so yourself this morning?!" "I said I almost didn't recognise her when she opened the door!" Lance corrected her. "Same thing?!" Diana snapped back, made a disgruntled face and let go of him, not without not-quite-accidentally bumping into his upper arm with her elbow. "I'm gonna go and get some air." "God, Di. Sorry I'm not too crazy about joining today's school dinner gossip circle. I mean, there's other stuff we should be thinking about!" he called after his girlfriend but she just marched out of the dining hall with furious steps, no longer paying attention to him. "And what would that be?" Cal leaned back in his chair and raised an eyebrow. "That other stuff we should be thinkin' about?" "The chemistry group project, for example? So far I'm the only one - as usual - who has put in any effort." "Relax, Abbott, that one's due next week and we'll all do our part." Fozzy said, eating another fork full of mashed potatoes. "Di's right, you're crabbit. Stop that." "You know what? Don't even bother." Lance snarled. "I'd rather get an A on that fuckin' project so I'm most likely going to do it all by myself… also, as usual." "He's so modest." Tim now chuckled, and Lance realised that he had been awfully quiet all the time.

hii, any chance of an update for midst pf the mind ?? it’s so so good I’ve been looking for a fic just like it 💕

omg i have not thought of that fic in so long so this was such a kind message to see today! so...i have that fic completely finished actually, but my writing style has shifted so much, i'm entirely unsatisfied with it haha. it needs a facelift (the whole fic does tbh) and unfortunately i haven't had the spark to do much revising recently as things are so busy in my personal life. but it's not abandoned by any means! i've just found that the only thing that truly excites me recently in terms of fanfic is writing new, fresh ideas. i get a bit tired when i look over my old ones.

but i go through phases like this frequently! i'll shake it off eventually and get back to my older works i am still determined to finish :-)

but here is a snippet from the next chapter for your patience:

“Snips,” he said, “you’ll stay with her?” Her eyes narrowed. “Don’t you think it’s a little masochistic to have me stay with her while you two guys get to go have all the fun?” Anakin’s eyes widened helplessly. “What? No, I–that’s not what–” “She’s kidding, Ani,” Padmé sighed. “Now go.” Ahsoka snickered, settling back against the couch. “Yeah, go take down the old creep and then hurry back so we can hear all about it.” “And bring back dinner,” Padmé added. “A lot.”
