Pay Back pt 2
Tumblr media
Ez x Reader
Ez makes things a little worse before making them better
Warnings: um? Ez is a cheeky bitch? Lol, cursing, implied smut
Part One
Note: it’s short and I’m starting to realize it may not flow with part 3 so yea but it will be with the same couple just a different name since it’s not back to back but in the same AU.
Do not reuse or re post my works anywhere.
BUT do reblog,like,love and comment all that good shit if you fucking with it ☺️
@thesandbeneathmytoes hope you enjoy it!
It hadn’t been more then a few minutes after she walked out the room that her keen ears picked up on the shower turning on. She laughed to herself,
“that’s right baby take a cold one.” She said mostly to herself.
“Quién?” Carmen asked her. She looked up startled from her thoughts, to see all 8 women staring at her. She cursed under her breath knowing they wouldn’t drop it until they knew what was going on. Nosy bitches.
So like girlfriends do she filled them in on what had happened, not going to into full details about EZ well endowed ness, since 2 of the women she didn’t really know. They were friends of the birthday girl, one of her besties Deja.
“He’s gonna be so grumpy til you give him some” Shanice said laughing, “I feel bad for the guys when he goes to the yard for his shift”.
“Well that’s what he gets” you said shrugging your shoulders, and quite frankly that wasn’t even the full punishment, y’all still had to talked about it.
“Girl pleaseeeee” Deja said playfully sucking her teeth, “Yo ass gonna give in, I’ve seen photos of the man and on FaceTime a few times and ain’t no way you staying off of that”.
Now was your turn to suck your teeth as you scrunched up your face.
“Chill he alright Sis” you said lying through your teeth as all your girls started yelling and laughing calling you out on your bullshit.
“¡Basta ya!” You fussed before laughing. “Enough about me and my man that’s on punishment, let’s get this birthday brunch for my boo thang started!” You yell hyping the group up.
Everyone picked up their champagne glasses and toasted to the birthday girl.
The round table you had brought in especially for the occasion to fit all 8 women was packed with food, drinks and beautiful decorations. The whole front of your house was actually, decorated to the 9s. Pink and white everywhere. Conversations were in full swing, the noise level was definitely up there, women speaking to another across the table and such. It had been a good 40mins since Ez started the shower, there was no way he was still in there. The only times you’ve known him to stay that long is when y’all were fucking in the shower or when he took baths with you. You shook your head as you pushed the thoughts out of your mind not wanting to let yourself get excited at the table of women.
What you didn’t know was Ez had spent the rest of his shower after finding his release thinking of a way to get you back, to tease you as you did him, to match your cruelty after such a long time apart. A week was too long in Ez’s eyes. And if you wanted to play games he was all for it.
You were so engrossed in taking your selfie with Imani and Shanice, you didn’t hear bare feet lazily thud down the hallway. And you didn’t notice the chatter come to a abrupt stop at first. The silence only catching your attention as you heard your refrigerator door open and a deep sigh from you right.
A scowl graced your face as your eyes took in your shirtless boyfriend standing and drinking OJ out the carton, refrigerator door covering the lower half of his body. In the moment you remember how much you hated that refrigerator, old ass thing. You couldn’t wait for your new one to finally arrive.
One of the girls cleared their throat as they all stared in awe of the shirtless man before them with the exception of Shanice.
Ez turned slowly as if he didn’t know there was a full ass birthday brunch happening at the moment. He eyes found yours and you could see the challenge in them with a hint of lust still lingering from earlier.
“Oh ladies, my bad I didn’t remember there was a brunch party”.
All the women started to speak at once save for you and Shanice, who maybe even rolled her eyes harder then you at the women’s desperate attempt at getting Ez’s attention.
“Princesa wheres your manners?” He asked before he shut the door and strolled just a bit closer.
One of the women behind you dropped her champagne glass, the breaking glass the only thing to be heard over the gasps of the women. Even you gasped. You couldn’t believe him! Ezekiel fucking Reyes stood in front of you in a white towel hanging low on his hips. His tan body even tanner from the summer sun of south Cali. And dick print in full view. The thick long print held the gaze of all the women and Ez didn’t even try to hide the boyish grin that covered his face. Your friend Rebecca started to cough on her champagne.
“I’m Ez, the boyfriend”.
All the women stunned by the sight. He strolled just a bit closer since you were at the end and leaned down to kiss your head, his towel coming face to face with you. You bit you lip, your sure if you opened your mouth drool would just pool out. As mad as you were a big part of you was turned on.
“Pull it down” You heard whispered from someone in the group behind you, your head shot back to glare at the women, not fully sure who said it as Ezekiel chuckled.
“I’m about to head out baby, don’t wanna be the only cock in the hen house” he smirked as he turned to walk away, “Oh Feliz Cumpleaños Deja” he threw over his shoulder with a smile.
And just like that he was off into your bedroom. Your once chatty dinning room was now deathly quiet as all the women sat in shock. You knew most of them probably never even seen a man that half a divine as your, or what he was working with. The body that looked like God sculpted it with his hands taking his time along with all body parts.
“Sisssssssssss” Imani said as she looked at you with a proud face.
“I-“
“Girl your man is BLESSED, and you one lucky puta”. One of Deja’s friends said.
Lucky wasn’t a word you would use to describe how you felt in the moment. Mad, annoyed, horny were some. But you knew once you got over this you would definitely feel blessed and lucky. If Ez wanted to play this game you’d play.
But as much as you wanted to you wouldn’t go into the room it was a set up. And if you did you’d let him fuck your brains out while your girls listened.
“Who wants henny?” You asked as you got up and walked to the kitchen, desperate to focus on something else.
Another 20 mins had past when Ez walked out. Still shirtless, but this time had his white short sleeve shirt and kutte in his hand. His denims hanging low with white boxers visible and a sliver chain hanging on his belt next to a knife.
Again the women watched as you rolled your eyes while walking past him into the kitchen again. He slipped his shirt on and then his kutte before leaving against the counter to watch you angrily grab forks for the cake.
If you though Ezekiel would just leave with saying a proper goodbye to his annoyed girlfriend you were wrong.
“Babe”
There was no answer with your back still to him as you grabbed a large cutting knife. Before you could shut the draw you felt a firm hand grabbed you arm and pull you back, almost making you lose you balance in your heels, but his other hand snaked behind your back to help you stay steady. And then his mouth was on yours in another passionate kiss, it was all so fast your head was spinning. You were so caught in the kiss you didn’t care about the 8 sets of eyes on y’all getting a free show. The forks laid on the counter as you free hand went to grabbed his face and your would hand with the knife on his shoulder. You made sure it wasn’t close enough to cut but your brain wouldn’t work properly for you to actually put it down. Your moans slipped into his mouth as his large hands roamed down to your ass, slowly spreading your fat ass cheeks in your short dress. You felt a hardness near your lower belly and pushed back. Both out our breathe as you stared at each other in a daze.
Ez licked his lips before kissing you forehead again, “I’ll see you later baby” he said before working to the door. Nodding at the ladies as he passed them.
A shit eating grin graced his face as he heard one of your girls say “dammmmmmn chica you dickmitized off that biker” before the door had shut and stepped into the summer heat.
Ez sat on his bike while putting his helmet on, he had to think of something good to make up for missing last night, and he’ll prob need Shanice’s help to do it. He decided he would text her later as he started his bike before pulling out into the street.

The Journey of Twistedland theme park!  Part 3. Westernland
in short : Kalim invites all the dorm leaders include Mc and Grim to go to a theme park names Twistedland.
Part 1 I Part 2 I Part 3 I Part 4 I Part 5 I Part 6 I Part 7 I Part 8 I
Arriving at the Westernland they are greeted with Western Country vibe. Lots of  huts  and shops are around the area. "Nyaa!! It feels like walking in a Western Country." Said Grim while admiring the area. There are lots of cafes as well, it looks amazing.  They passed a building with the name "Diamond HorseShoe" written on it. "This was supposed to be an attraction a long time ago with a restaurant theme and opera, there is the history in the guide book." Said Riddle. "Even if you read the history of this Theme park before we got here, that's amazing!!" Kalim complimenting Riddle. "I just read the rules in the guide book and accidentally found that article so I decided to read it." Said Riddle yet his face looks very smug.
  The first attraction they saw in the Westernland is Country Bear Jamboree. "This place looks like it has a bear theme." Said Vil while seeing a board with bear pictures. "It is called Country Bear Jamboree after all." Said Azul fixing his glasses a bit. The Hut in front of them has lots of bear decorations.  The inside of the hut looks like a classic house, it looks similar to the three goldilocks background scene. In the queue area  there are lots of pictures of bears, the bear's family picture, a bear playing a piano, and bears playing instruments. After getting to the room for the attraction they see a theater, which looks like a classic opera theater but with a classic hut theme with buffalo and deer head display around the theater.. The nine of them sit in the back seat of the theater. "Are we gonna see a singing bear or something? Growl.. I want to nap." Leona complained about being bored. "Hmmp be careful the bears will eat you when they caught you asleep." Mock Malleus makes Leona send a growl to him. The lights get dark, the buffalo and deer head display start to move and talk to each other, Malleus looks at them intensely still annoyed with the Tiki statues incident. After the conversation ends the sounds of a piano starts playing with a bear playing a piano on the left side of the stage his name is Gomer. "Howdy folks! Welcome to the one and only original Country Bear Jamboree! The name's Henry!" Said a bear with a purple round hat introducing himself. He's at the right side of the stage, "And now I present you the five bear rugs! Hit it boys!" The red curtain opens and five bears start playing instruments. The big one with a red and white tie playing a harmonica his name is Fred, the tallest brown bear playing a corn jug and a washboard his name is Ted, a brown bear with red scarf playing an instrument called one-stringed Thang his name is Tennessee  and next to Tennesee is a gray bear, the leader of the Five Bear Rugs, he wears a top hat and a pair of glasses, he strums a banjo and bangs on a dishpan his name is Zeke. And next to Zeke there is a bear wearing the same hat with a red and white scarf playing a fiddle. His name is Zeb. Everyone looks enjoying the performance, even Leona yet he hides it. The light goes dark and a bear in the left of the stage plays a fiddle while still singing the same song. "Nyaa it sounds good." Said Grim, the prefect agrees with Grim statement. After that performance the song changed, yet still a country song played by a bear in the left side of the stage, the bear has short brown hair, his name is Liver Lips McGrowl and he's playing a Banjo. "Country song huh, probably the pormfiore residents could learn this kind of song as a lesson of beauty." Said Vil enjoying the country song. "I-I'm not expecting Vilshi would like this kind of song." Said Idia responded to the Vil statement. "Western theme could be the next menu for monstro lounge, with country songs played it must be popular!" Said Azul looks excited with his new business idea. After Liver Lips McGrowl  stops playing the instrument, a bear with a blue round hat appears on the stage playing a banjo, a country song played with a more cheerful yet calm tone. After that on the right side of the stage appears a bear wearing a blue tutu with a blue bow holding a glass of honey and a handkerchief, her name is Trixie singing a very beautiful song. "She sounds beautiful!!" Said Kalim. The music changes, the bear with skirts disappearing, replaced with a bear wearing a yellow shirt and a yellow hat playing a banjo, his name is Shaker . After Shaker disappears, Henry appears again. "Now here they come, the sun Bonnet Trio from the sunshine states, Bunny, Bubbles, and Beula!" Said Henry and three bears wearing a blue shirt and blue hat start singing. "I-I mean i like Gakemo idol more but they're not bad." Said Idia. "And then the beautiful lady is swinging Tedi Bara!" Said Henry, Henry is not lying though, Tedi Bara is seriously swinging on the roof.  A brown bear who wears a pink hat with a pink feather on it and a boa around her neck swinging while singing. "For a bear to be this brave I'm surprised." Said Malleus admiring Tedi Bara. "Pfft Lmao Malleus shi Tedi Bara and the rest of the bears are robots www." Idia laughed with Malleus' statement, Malleus just pouted after that. Tedi Bara disappears, replaced with a huge bear with a gray chest, a cowboy hat, and a red vest appears on the far left stage playing a guitar, his name is Big Al. The tone of the song is deep, quite scary but still a good song. After that Henry appears singing with a raccoon name Sammy comes out of his head singing with Henry. All of the other bears start joining Henry singing. "Hahahaha this is fun!!" Said Kalim, totally satisfied. "Ahahahahaha as you can see we're just one big happy family. Well folks this concludes our show, thanks to your bear willings!" And that's the end of the performance.  After some rest they start moving to their next destination, Mark Twain Riverboat. Going inside a Harbor they get inside a huge boat, they decide to watch the river view from the highest floor of the boat. The boat started to move, they could see tourists walking on the street. The view around the Harbor is pretty. The riding is full of Theme park history, the prefect having lots of new education about Twistedland theme park. They are now passing an area called the majestic trees. There is a waterfall and lots of rocks around. After passing the Majestic trees they see a trail of a roller coaster. "The roller coaster looks very high." Said Vil looking at the trail.  "Nyaa.. If you experience our journey in NRC for months, that kind of Roller Coaster doesn't scare you anymore." Said Grim receiving a nod from the prefect. "Then why don't we take a look at the place since both of you are not scared at all." Said Riddle, with a smirk. "Bring it." Said the prefect, annoyed at being underestimated. "Hihihi i thought you often scream during Magift training, prefect, Grim." Added Idia teasing both of them. The prefect face looks annoyed and they huff a little. After the journey around the river their adventure ends. "The view there are beautiful." Said Malleus enjoying the trip. " I know right!!" Said Kalim happy.
They really mean it when they say it, their next destination is the roller coaster, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Grim gluped while the prefect stares at the others, the prefect look annoyed. "Alright, then let's have a fun ride in the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad am i right herbivores?" Said Leona with a smirk teasing Grim and the prefect. "Shesh i said bring it." The prefect said, accepting the challenge. "The one scream the most got to pay for ice creams!" Said Azul loves the idea of this challenge. The prefect nod and the others agree as well, the prefect not gonna give up. A stone mountain with roller coaster trail and a hut in the center of the mountain. A small tradisional train gonna be the cart of the attraction. The prefect, Grim and Idia is on the front cause the prefect and Grim is the one challenging first. Leona and Vil on the second cart, Azul and Malleus on the third, and Kalim and Riddle on the fourth. The train started moving and going under a red stone hallway fastly, they could only see darkness, until a small light was on the hall roof, those are bats, robots bats of course. Pointed stones rose from above giving a caves vibe. After the train is on the top they got splashed from above and start moving fast. The view of the stones mountain and huts is what they greeted with. They now slowly going up, and when they reach the top they move down fastly, the prefect manage to control their scream but not for Grim. Going up again in the stones hall with lots of magical stones, it looks like a mine, after going down the view there are lots of cactus. They moved down until they went inside a stone hall, but it's dark inside. After reaching the top, the view around the stores and the roller coaster queue line starts to get slower, and that's the end of the ride. "If Grim screams the most, which means.." RIddle mumbles. "Prefect buys us ice cream! Ahahahaha!" Kalim continued. "Nyaaa sorry henceman." Grim apologizing. "Hah.. it's alright. I'm gonna buy the ice cream after lunch. Is still 10 am now, we better moved to the next place." Said the prefect and they started moving again. "Hey herbivores, I think we already explored this Westernland, where should we go now?" Ask Leona to the others. "It's Critter Island." Answer Malleus looking at the map. "According to my count we will have our lunch there." Said Riddle to the others. "Prefect, don't forget your ice cream promise, buy the ones with minimum calories." Said Vil remaining the prefect. "Whatever.." Said the prefect, still annoyed with losing the challenge. "T-Then our next d-destination is Critter Island." Said Idia. Now the nine of them started moving to their next destination.
I put my efforts the most on the bear jamboree, the charatcers information is from disney land wiki. And for Mark Twain Riverboat i don’t really write very detailed, sorry. But i will do my best on the Critter Island!!

11/11/11 Tag Game: Round... uh... 5, 6, & 7?
I got tagged by a bunch of people ( @quilloftheclouds is this how your 77 question one felt??) so here are a bunch of answers! I think this is the most I’ve ever talked about myself in my life. 
Good gracious, you’re all so nice and have such good questions.
Tagged by: @surroundedbypearls, @waterfallwritings, @bigmoodword, @sundaynightnovels
Rules: answer 11 questions, tag 11 people, give them 11 new questions!
[I’ve done this enough to be able to break the tag rules. Fight me.]
44 questions and answers below the cut!
But I’ll be nice and put my questions right here:
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
When do you title your WIPs? It is the first thing you do? The last? Does it come to you during drafting?
How many inside jokes do you put in your WIP(s)?
Your WIP’s antagonist is now The Riddler. How do your OCs handle that?
Do you use sticky notes?
Laptop or desktop?
Your OC is a wrestler. What’s their hype music?
Do you own any craft books/books on writing?
What’s your favorite book cover?
How many unread books do you have sitting around right now? Which are you most excited to maybe get to eventually some time?
How committed are you to your outline(s)?
Bilbo Taggins: Literally anyone, but also @francestroublr, @sahados-shadow, @a-story-im-writing, @bethkerring, @citruschickadee, @bos-ingit
If I’ve tagged you before, you can totally ignore this. In fact, I encourage you to.
From @surroundedbypearls:
What’s your favourite genre to write in and why? Literary fiction! It’s what I learned in university and the one that fits my themes best. Sci-fi is hard, I’m just getting into writing fantasy stuff, I can’t do thrillers, romance is hard for me, and historical is too much work.
Do you think you have a style/voice that you use more often in your writing? When did you develop that style? If you’ve read one of my stories, you know exactly how my writing voice sounds. It doesn’t change too much. I write like I talk, but if I had a lot more gravitas and charisma. Honestly, I’ve always had that kind of style, but it really developed in high school. It’s been getting stronger since then. It’s one of the things I always got comments about from my teachers and fellow workshop writers. “Your voice is so strong!” Yep. It’s mah thang.
Do you play video games? What’s your favourite? YES I DO. It’s hard to pick faves, but I’ve played Dragon Age: Origins too many times. 
If you were going to do a WIP crossover, which OCs would be most interesting together? (If you’ve only got one WIP crossover with something else) A crossover between H2H and AOPC? Interesting. I think Mel and Keema would get along the best, Oz would have some fightin’ words for Elder Sanga, and Gemma and Teva would be a force to be reckoned with, my god. Two stubborn nerds who believe totally different things but are also very determined to be very good at what they want to do and love their communities to a fault? Fear them.
Do you prefer to plan WIPs in a document or through handwritten notes? I used to do it by hand but I couldn’t read it because my handwriting is terrible and I kept losing papers. I do it in docs now. Much easier to organize and incredibly legible.
Do you multiple languages exist in your WIP? If so how do you address that in the story? H2H is set in the “real world,” so yep. It hasn’t been addressed too much yet, but I have a way for tackling languages. I’ve written multilingual-ish stories before. I never write phonetically and use hella context clues so the reader knows the gist of what was said if another character doesn’t translate.
What’s your favourite animated film that’s not Disney or Pixar? AN AMERICAN TAIL. All of them. It’s on Netflix go watch it and marvel at the way a kids movie talks about Jewish immigration, poverty, and cultural oppression via mice. As a young Jewish child, this movie was my jam. It’s very dark, though.
Do your real-life surroundings influence your WIP’s settings? Nope! One time I tried to write a story set in the same area where I lived and I couldn’t do it. Too weird. Sometimes I’ll write in an item I see near me, or like, a painting or poster on the wall if I need some set decoration, but that’s about it.
Which OCs would be most likely to break the fourth wall? Oz. Lookin’ at the camera like he’s in The Office.
How do you work out your OCs’ personalities? Hm. I look at the story I’m trying to write and make a protagonist that would have the most interesting experience in that narrative. For H2H, I wanted someone who would be loyal as heck to the people they loved while still being experimental enough to try new things and get into shenanigans. The story called for someone like that, and there she was. Mel came about my thinking of someone who would compliment other characters in the story while still being their own person. If that makes sense. I think of dynamics and interactions with the story world in relation to the theme(s). Most of the time they just happen, though.
Do you prefer worldbuilding or character building? Character building! As much as I like making stories about places, making characters is more fun for me, and more interesting. You should see all the DnD character sheets I have. 
From @waterfallwritings:
1. How do you come up with ideas for your WIPs?
At random. Seriously. It’s like my brain has to be running something in the background to function normally, and usually that something is whatever story I happen to be working on. Or I’ll look at a thing and go “huh.” My brain also likes to twist normal things to be a little bit different.
2. How do you get past gaps in the plot?
No idea, man. It’s like throwing spaghetti at a wall. I like to work backwards. If this is what I want to happen, what needs to happen before that to ensure that it occurs? I look at all the elements currently in the story and see if one can be manipulated to fill in the hole.
3. What motivates you to keep writing?
If I don’t, my brain gets all constipated and angry until I write something down. Like, seriously, I get grumpy and frustrated like I’m hangry or something. Aside from physical need, I love writing. I love word puzzles and feelings puzzles and figuring them out. Sometimes I think of how my stories could help someone, or make them feel something that they enjoy. 
4. Do you do any other kind of creative writing?
Oh, man, I’ve done it all. Screenwriting, playwriting, poetry, video game-ish writing, interactive storytelling, short stories, flash fiction, proposals, essays, DnD campaigns, monologues... You name it, I’ve probably tried it. I tend to stick to prose and poetry these days.
5. Do you have any other creative hobbies besides writing?
I’ve gotten into graphic design a little bit. I kind of wanna learn how to knit again. I’m not really very crafty. 
6. What do you do when you’re stuck on a scene and don’t know how to get it out / write it?
Write a different scene, stare at the screen in frustration until I give up and go to sleep, meditate for a few minutes, go do something else to get my mind off of it, clean, work on a different project.
7. How do you decide how to end your WIP?
I mean, see the next question for part of my answer. How did I decide to end H2H? My friend, that’s a big ‘ole spoiler. But I decided to end it at a place where everything, and everyone, comes together.
8. When in the process of writing do you decide how its going to end? Or do you kind of just wait til you get there?
Right at the beginning. If I don’t know where it’ll end, I have a hard time writing the arc. I work backwards: start with the idea, then think of where I want it to end up, then work back to the beginning until I know where its going, then start writing.
9. Why did you decide to join writeblr?
My reasons are pretty personal, but the least personal is that I needed some accountability and motivation. And I missed being in a good writing community.
10. What’s your favourite food?
Pasta! I’m eating spaghetti right now.
11. If you had to kill off a character in your WIP, who would it be and why?
Oz would be the most tragic. Treena would be the most logical. 
From @bigmoodword:
1. using one sentence summaries, can you tell me about your wips?
Nerdy potion woman meets cute odd stranger who helps her solve magic mysteries in their quirky small town.
2. what inspired them?
I saw a zine accepting submissions for magic stories, then an open call for queer shifter stories, and thought “what if wholesome magical lesbians?”
3. which of your ocs do you most identify with?
Gemma!
4. if you’ve ever cried while reading, which book cued the waterworks?
THE SONG OF ACHILLES.  My God, my soul was weeping. Honestly, it still is. Doesn’t matter that I knew the story from the Iliad. Madeline Miller is a feelings wizard.
5. how do you conduct research for your wips and what’s the most interesting thing you’ve discovered in said research?
On an as-needed basis. I used to do way too much research to avoid actually writing the damn thing, so now I only do it when I actually run into a problem that can be solved by Google.
6. thus far, which scene has been the most difficult to write?
The ones that aren’t hugely emotional. Which is... unfortunate.
7. which of your ocs do you like the least?
Rude. On a personal level, Jill. I love her, but I would not be friends with her. We wouldn’t mesh at all.
8. which pov and tense do you prefer to write in?
Third person limited present tense! To the bane of everyone who’s ever edited my work.
9. do you write poetry?
I do! Not often, though.
10. who is your writing role model?
My freakin’ writing professor from college. He is crazy disciplined.
11. if you could give your younger writer self some advice, what would it be?
Hey, you know those people who say your writing is too dark? Yeah, they suck and they’re wrong. They just want kids to live up to their expectations and write happy sunshiny stories about unicorns and dinosaurs having ice cream. And you’re not depressed because you wrote that one sad poem one time and someone asked if you were depressed. What you have is called feelings and they’re very useful for a writer, nay, a human, to have.
From @sundaynightnovels:
Who is your biggest role model? Okay, so I got crap all the time in grade school for never having a role model, and I still don’t have one. The teachers were concerned about me. But my reasoning was, “why should I want to live someone else’s life?” Yeah. They didn’t really know what to do with that...
What are your OCs favorite foods? Sort of answered here!
Which OC is most afraid of the dark? Oz and Mary!
What made you want to start a writing blog/participate in the writeblr community? Answered above!
Did you sleep with a stuffed animal as a kid? Do you still? I did, indeed. I don’t anymore, but I have two that I shuffle around my room when they get in the way. One is a highland cow I got in Scotland (he has a plaid hat), the other is a blue whale I got at the Museum of Natural History in NY.
Do you like donuts? I love donuts. Especially jelly filled ones. Mmm.
Do/would your OCs like donuts? All of my OCs like donuts. I don’t think Mel has ever had a modern one, though.
What is your least favorite food? Cauliflower? I’m the household taste-tester, so there’s been a lot of stuff I don’t like.  ( @sundaynightnovels I hate sparkling water, too, you’re not alone!)
What is your ideal writing environment? Comfy seating, a chair with no arms (stupid elbows), alone, plenty of chosen beverage within reach, headphones.
Favorite line from your WIP? So far, it’s this one!
Favorite quote from a book? Oh, man. There are so many. From recent memory, here are a few: “’Give it time,’ she replies. ‘It won’t be a story forever.’“  and “Everyone has heard stories of women like us, and now we will make more of them.” (both from The Ladies Guide to Petticoats and Piracy) “When he smiled, the skin at the corners of his eyes crinkled like a leaf held to flame.” and “I lean forward and our lips land clumsily on each other. They are like the fat bodies of bees, soft and round and giddy with pollen.” (I could write a goddamn essay about the imagery in this scene.) (It is quite possibly my favorite description of a kiss ever. And the metaphor extends through the rest of the scene so artfully ugh.) (both from The Song of Achilles) “The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might then dream along with you, and in this way memory and imagination and language combine to make spirits in the head.” (from The Things They Carried)

and a mic that comes out in front of his mouth
makes him feel like this badass pilot
but he looks so cute with them on bless his soul
starting off with his youtube stuff:
he deffo started his account off with the ever-cringey. . .
m i n c e c r a f t   v i d e o s
he used to unironically play them
and make videos of them all. the. time.
he was really good at making different worlds but like
c’mon
it’s minecraft, the guys had to mock it
he still plays it
and he’ll always be like
“jisung~ can you please play with me?”
and he’ll tilt his head to the side, and bite his lip a bit
and he looks so cuTE
that jisung just can’t say no
even though that completely destroys his gaming rep.
remember changbin’s diss track stuff???
didn’t think he would say anything bad about the precious lil’ thang that is seungmin???
yeah changbin just mocked his minecraft videos
honestly though seungmin just laughed and was like “what’s wrong with my videos though??”
that kinda ended changbin so he’s never made a diss track about him again
and even though the guys mock him
he still keeps the minecraft videos up
he watched a lot of walkthroughs to make those worlds, he ain’t taking the videos down now
as he grew up, he played minecraft less and less, and after meeting hyunjin in school, started playing more FPS games (first person shooters, like battlefield fyi)
he probably had a Little Big Planet phase between that transition though
he’s still getting the hang of the shooting games
he cannot play zombies for shit in call of duty though
not because he’s scared of them
but because when a hoard of zombies comes he panics and starts spray shooting horribly
so he ends up getting attacked
as well as gaming though he has a knack for singing
as he grew up he got more confident in his singing
and so he started posting song covers
his old videos used to be SO out of focus and blurry
sometimes he would put the camera in a really bad position so half his body wouldn’t even be in the frame
but because the audio was gr88
he posted it anyways
after chan saw that video though he was like
dude,,,, im here 2 help u
so chan got down and fixed seungmin‘s entire camera set-up
so seungmin has left it exactly as that
literally
he hasn't moved anything the slightest millimetre
 he even took pics in case something happened to the set-up
and he took down notes in his journal about everything that chan said as he was fixing the place
the rest of his bedroom is also really cute!!!
alongside felix, he’s the only one to have properly decorated his room and show it in his videos
read felix’s one to find out more about his mess of a room lmao
seungmin’s room is 100x neater
he hangs up pictures and fanmail that people send
aaaand since he’s 1/2 of the flower boy line!!!!!!
a lot of the pictures sent in are flower-related
a lot of flowery edits/ backgrounds
or drawings of him with flower crowns
he looks like an actual prince with a flower crown ok
he does his lil’ adorable smile every time he reads the messages ppl have written on their drawings
and he gets even happier when his mum comes into the room like “!!!! you have more mail!!!”
he’s also done a few songs together with woojin and those videos are so amazing bc???
woojin + seungmin + guitar + breathtaking vocals + good camera quality = h e a v e n
they both have such beautiful voices and they compliment each other really well
back to the gaming stuff:
this one time seungmin actually got higher on the scoreboard than hyunjin and everyone was like :000000 SEUNGMIN PLACED FIRST?????
they later found out that it was actually minho playing lmfao
and so hyunjin demanded a rematch buuuut
seungmin deadass said “nah i haven’t got time for n00bs like you”
r.i.p hwang hyunjin’s pride
SEUNGMIN FELT LIKE SUCH A BADASS THOUGH HE TOOK A MINUTE TO JUST PAT HIMSELF ON THE BACK <3333
the guys were holleringggg when they found out lmao
and they don’t let hyunjin live this down
so he’s basically sworn revenge and has made it his life’s goal to obliterate seungmin in a game now
and then the day came that seungmin was like
ok, i’ll fight you, but in a game of my choice
and hyunjin was so desperate to beat him he was just like okkkk
finally!!!!
obviously, MAJOR THROWBACKKK, seungmin picked minecraft
they had a week until the battle would commence
so both boys were playing non-stop minecraft in preparation
felix was just like “damn and you guys call me extra???”
the day of the fight!!!!
seungmin had chosen the Battle mini game
(a quick rundown: each player starts somewhere on the map, there are treasure chests everywhere in the map (and like 5 chests in the middle). you gotta collect weapons, armour, food and potions from the chests because you gotta fight the other person before the time runs out)
seungmin figured that hyunjin would run to the chests in the middle so instead
he ran to the chests near his hiding place
(yeah, he knows all the maps like the back of his hand)
and he got decent resources from there (a bow and a few arrows, some apples, 2 regeneration potions and a mixture of armour)
there was still enough time so he ran to a couple more chests before the showdown began and he had to fight hyunjin
MEANWHILE
(as seungmin correctly guessed) hyunjin ran to the middle of the map to get to the 5 treasure chests
and he racked up a lot of food, armour, a couple of diamond swords and some shitty potions
when the showdown began he moved to one corner of the map so he could try to find seungmin
and seungmin knew that eventually, once hyunjin couldn’t see him, he would get annoyed and start searching for seugmin
so he waited like 30 more secs before he saw hyunjin’s character moving around the map
almost near the end of the countdown,,,,
and neither had fought yet lmao
but seungmin was quite high up and hyunjin hadn’t managed to spot him yet (or find a way to get to higher ground)
so riiight when hyunjin was below seungmin he started shooting his arrows lmao
and hyunjin, being startled, jumped down quickly
wrong move !!!!
because seungmin could still shoot at him
and then when hyunjin had run away seungmin jumped down
and he swapped to his diamond pickaxe and
whilst hyunjin was looking up trying to find him
seungmin literally stabbed him in the back with his axe
so hyunjin quickly turned around with his sword
managed to get a few hits
but
ultimately
seungmin won
yOOOO the boys were screamingggg
seungmin had actually beat hyunjin fair and square lmfao
jeongin, felix, and woojin were with seungmin
and jisung, chan, changbin and minho were with hyunjin
yeah they were in separate houses
so that nobody screenwatched
(they took it that seriously)
felix skyped jisung just so that hyunjin could see them all partying and laughing whilst hyunjin was just there like
my gaming rep is now non-existent
minecraft boi actually beat me
he’s lowkey proud of seungmin bc damn he planned his attack so well
but still
he stabbed him in the back man
it was still hilarious to watch
they all went out to celebrate the next day
changbin amde a lil’ rap about how shit hyunjin is at gaming now
and after that seugmin actually posted the video of him slaying hyunjin’s ass
within the first minute of seugmin posting that video there was one dislike
from a certain salty hwang hyunjin
he’s now made it his plan to improve in a game that hyunjin’s great at so he can beat him at that too
but that’s gonna take a while lmao
so yeah, although hyunjin will 5ever be salty that he got beat by seungmin
he still looks out for him like he’s his lil’ bro
it’s so cute honestly
and they’re always hanging out with each other in school now
practically inseparable
&& although the guys mocked him for his minecraft vids
he knows they still love him and they’re basically all just older bros to him that are always there for him to depend on
and there’s jeongin as his lil’ bro he can be the youngster with
they pretty much always act cute to get the older guys to do their bidding
secretly evil maknaes
only one more left them im?? done??? im gonna miss this series tbfh :’(

Hi hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? I hope you had a wonderful one filled with good food, fun celebrations, solid workouts, Queer Eye binging, and relaxation time. Ours was definitely a mix of all of the above.
Tumblr media
(Also, I can’t get the Pilot on board with Queer Eye. He FELL ASLEEP the first night i asked him to watch it with me. Rude.)
We enjoyed a lovely date night at North,
planted some succulents,
(please note P’s face… lord help us)
and celebrated Meg at her baby shower!
Isn’t she the most gorgeous ever?
(Dress is here // sandals are here // similar earrings are here)
I was so honored and excited when they asked if I’d mind hosting the shower at our house. I already love baby August so much and was so thrilled to provide the space for our family and friends to get together and honor the little guy on the way. I can’t believe he’ll be here soon – early April! – and I’m anxiously waiting to meet the little guy. Liv and P are going to go crazy for him, too.
He’s already a well-dressed dude and received so many adorable outfits at the shower. I couldn’t even handle the tiny dinosaur slippers, dapper outfit combos, and footie pajamas. Ugh, the best.
Also, I can’t take credit for any of the gorgeous party decor – Meg’s mom and sis brought the decorations for the party and we put everything together a couple of hours before the guests arrived.
For lunch, we had a taco bar. Many of the ladies in the family brought various parts of the meal, from chicken, shredded beef, toppings, tortillas, etc… it was quite the feast.
I made a huge batch of beans (I soak them overnight then cook in the Instant Pot for 20 minutes with 2 whole heads of garlic, enough water to go halfway up the beans, lots of salt, oregano, and a little cumin) and easy Mexican rice (also cooked in the Instant Pot).
My friend Amy made the beautiful cake which tasted even better than it looked. The cake was wedding cake flavored with cream cheese frosting as the filling, and was a light, fluffy dream. She also made chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter filling. YAS.
We played the necessary baby shower games, “oh how cuuuuuute”-ed our hearts out as Meg opened gifts, and enjoyed fabulous cake and company. It was the perfect way to celebrate!
While we were doing the baby shower thang, the Pilot took the girls on some adventures. First, they had a birthday party for a good friend, and then they headed to the zoo to saw hi to the animals, enjoy the elaborate Lunar New Year lanterns, and ride the carousel,
they met up with Kyle and EJ for gelato.
Afterwards, when the baby shower had ended, everyone came over to our house (or just stayed after the shower) for a St. Patrick’s Day feast, courtesy of madre. She made savory corned beef, potatoes, and carrots, grilled cabbage, and brought fresh loaves of soda bread. We ate outside while the cousins played on the playset, and listened to Irish music on the bluetooth speaker. It was a great way to cap off a full weekend.
This morning, it’s back to the swing of life around here. I’m looking forward to meeting a blog friend for a barre3 class, blasting through some work assignments, and making shrimp scampi for dinner.
Tumblr media
I hope you have a happy Monday and I’ll see ya in the morning with a new workout.

Hi hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? I hope you had a wonderful one filled with good food, fun celebrations, solid workouts, Queer Eye binging, and relaxation time. Ours was definitely a mix of all of the above.
Tumblr media
(Also, I can’t get the Pilot on board with Queer Eye. He FELL ASLEEP the first night i asked him to watch it with me. Rude.)
We enjoyed a lovely date night at North,
planted some succulents,
(please note P’s face… lord help us)
and celebrated Meg at her baby shower!
Isn’t she the most gorgeous ever?
(Dress is here // sandals are here // similar earrings are here)
I was so honored and excited when they asked if I’d mind hosting the shower at our house. I already love baby August so much and was so thrilled to provide the space for our family and friends to get together and honor the little guy on the way. I can’t believe he’ll be here soon – early April! – and I’m anxiously waiting to meet the little guy. Liv and P are going to go crazy for him, too.
He’s already a well-dressed dude and received so many adorable outfits at the shower. I couldn’t even handle the tiny dinosaur slippers, dapper outfit combos, and footie pajamas. Ugh, the best.

I made a huge batch of beans (I soak them overnight then cook in the Instant Pot for 20 minutes with 2 whole heads of garlic, enough water to go halfway up the beans, lots of salt, oregano, and a little cumin) and easy Mexican rice (also cooked in the Instant Pot).

While we were doing the baby shower thang, the Pilot took the girls on some adventures. First, they had a birthday party for a good friend, and then they headed to the zoo to saw hi to the animals, enjoy the elaborate Lunar New Year lanterns, and ride the carousel,
they met up with Kyle and EJ for gelato.
