hello
I’ve probably sent a similar ask before but could you please rec skam blogs you follow? Doesn’t matter if they’re OG or the international versions 🤗
gah, i don't really have any active skam recommendations for you! i looked at my following list and almost everyone is like "updated 4 years ago." people either moved on to different blogs, because i was only following skam sideblogs, or they grew out of tumblr. i do still see @vmcgmidlifecrisis and @decraziness posting regularly on my dashboard, but they also post whatever they fancy, not just skam. and i know of some people from discord, like @paralleluniversesfan and @evakuality and @mazarin01, but i haven't like, updated my dashboard to match discord names to blogs.
mostly what i do is check in the #skam tag and like or reblog from there, just to make sure i'm only seeing skam specific stuff.
[hey, if you post skam, like this post so anon and i can check out your blog!]

How did you handle it?
1st part here
A/N: Didn't expect the number of likes on the first part, thank you so much 😭
Also, I know now who does Paige's braids now. I saw her on tiktok.
Warning/s: Read at your own risk
Tumblr media
----------------------
Following Ice's most recent live stream, Y/N's phone is constantly vibrating, and her Instagram feed is overflowing with follow requests and mentions. She didn't leave her apartment on the weekends after hearing from her teammates about their near-brawl on Friday night. She was trying to blow off some steam at the time, but she lost her cool and almost got into it. Azzi gave them a good earful, and Geno had more to say. Y/N apologized to her teammates, explaining that she was acting out of character at the time.
She felt a little better and forgot about her parents' divorce for a while. Not until her father texted her that he will be at her game next week. Dad is always the one who comes to her games; mom is too busy and cannot make time.
Frustrated, Y/N drops the dumbels.
"Yo! "KK, give me back my phone!" KK is running for her life, clutching Paiges' phone. Paige, on the other hand, looks terrified as if her life depends on with whatever is contained within her phone.
"Whaaaat! Dude, I just caught you stalking---asfghgjjhkjlhlk!" Paige caught up with KK and placed her palm on her mouth.
"Shut up!" She took her phone.
KK sounds like a dying goat now, with Paige's hands still on her mouth. Paige lets go of her and KK gasped for air.
"Shit, Hah! I just did not saw you do that P!" KK is shaking her head, laughing.
"I swear K, if you open your mouth I'll make sure that you will nev---" KK immediately zipped her mouth.
"You got it P! Your 'lil secret is safe." KK gave her a mischievous wink.
These two are as mischievous as ever.
Shaking her head, Y/N slips off her sweat-soaked muscle top, revealing only her sports bra. She could see Paige and KK's jaws drop from her peripheral vision. She turned towards them.
"What? "You guys have some saliva here." Y/N pointed to the side of her lip. The two appear to have come to their senses and instantly pretend to do something. Weird. It's as if they're seeing each other for the first time, taking off their clothes. Y/N twisted her hair into a sloppy knot and resumed lifting. She was halfway through lifting when Nika slapped her bum.
"Babe, I need you to braid my hair. Do you have a sec?"
She nodded to Nika and followed her. They walk past the others who were working out, and Y/N couldn't help but notice Paige and the way her biceps and deltoids popped while doing that damn pull up. Get a grip, Miller; you see your teammate doing this on a regular basis. Y/N reprimanded herself.
"So is mine eye enthralled by thy shape," Nika recited dramatically.
Nika came out laughing after noticing Y/N glancing at Paige.
"Don't worry, babe; she gets it a lot. And... Damn, did you just realized she's fine? You have to keep up; you have a home court advantage here." Nika winked. Y/N gave Nika a puzzled glance. It's not that she likes Paige; she just admires the muscles. That is it.
"I don't know what you're talking about, babe." Y/N said making Nika snort.
"Okay, alright. I'm blind, I can't see, must be my poor eyesight."
Y/N endured Nika's teasing while doing her hair; she doesn't want to appear defensive, so she allows her friend and pretends that Nika Muhl seeing her looking at Paige Bueckers didn't affect her.
"Thank you, Baby. "I love the braids." Nika blew her a kiss before they returned to their routines.
------------
Paige glanced around cautiously before scrolling through her phone. She couldn't afford to repeat the same mistake that had led to her being caught by KK. She wasn't stalking, though; the algorithm following Ice's live had led her to Y/N's tagged photos and edits on Instagram. It was kind of annoying that Y/N was now known for being the "pretty girl" from the team instead of for her talent as a player. Paige had witnessed firsthand how great Y/N was during her time at Stanford. If it weren't for her MCL injury during her second year, she would have been neck and neck with Nika's stats in the last 2022-2023 conference.
"Girly, you are still not done? Man you are really living up to be a stalker ." KK tried to glance at Paige's phone, Paige was quick to hide it.
"I am not!" Paige responded defensively.
"Of course, why stalk when you can see her every day. Home court advantage." KK playfully raised her brows and gestured towards where Y/N is, shooting 3 point shots. Yeah, Paige mused to herself. Paige knows she's got the home court advantage, always playing on familiar turf. Y/N, on the other hand, is a social media ghost, her posts as rare as a shooting star, reserved only for strategic brand alliances. Just like she guards the offensive players on the court, she protects her privacy with the same intensity, keeping her personal life shrouded in mystery.
"You are not gonna like this." KK's gasp breaks the silence, drawing Paige's attention as she leans in, sharing her latest sports article discovery. With rapt interest, they both delve into the words, their silent communion speaking volumes as they absorb every line, lost in the world of sports unfolding before them.
Sports Agent Katherine Taylor-Miller Entangled in New Romance Amidst Divorce
In a whirlwind of events, sports agent Katherine Taylor-Miller finds herself at the center of media attention following news of her divorce from husband Craig Miller. The prominent figure in the sports world, best known for representing basketball star Breanna Stewart, is reportedly embarking on a new romance with Los Angeles' top firm lawyer, Drew Ross.
While Taylor-Miller has remained tight-lipped about the circulating photos online, indicating her involvement with Ross, sources close to the situation confirm that the divorce proceedings are well underway. The couple, who share a daughter, aged 22, are navigating this transition as their family dynamic shifts.
Adding a layer of complexity to the situation, their daughter, a talented athlete in her own right, has been making waves on the collegiate basketball scene. Initially playing for Stanford University during her freshman and sophomore years, she has recently transferred to the University of Connecticut for her junior year, following in the footsteps of her mother's client, Breanna Stewart.
The unfolding saga has captivated both sports enthusiasts and gossip followers alike, as speculation mounts about the implications for Taylor-Miller's career and personal life. As the situation continues to develop, all eyes remain on the high-profile sports agent and her newfound path forward.
Paige's confusion bubbles to the surface in her question. "Wait, so... that is Y/N's mom?"
KK nods solemnly. "Yep. Didn't expect that."
Paige's brow furrows as she scans the article again. "That article is nasty. It was unnecessary to mention, Y/N."
The two exchange a knowing glance before their gaze shifts towards Y/N, who remains blissfully unaware of the storm brewing in the tabloids.
KK weighs the options for a moment before nodding resolutely. "Very. She's not gonna like it. Do we tell her?" KK's gaze seeks approval from Paige, who meets it with a shake of her head, silently acknowledging the delicate situation and opting to shield Y/N from unnecessary distress for now. "She'll find out sooner."
KK lets out a low whistle, her disbelief evident in her tone. "Unbelievable. I never thought her mom is Katherine Taylor. That woman was a badass, but yeah, whoever wrote this has some unpaid rent due." Paige nods in agreement, a hint of frustration tainting her expression as they both recognize the injustice of the situation.
The sudden thud startles both Paige and KK. Their heads snap towards the source of the sound, only to find Y/N on the bench-side taking a water break, her hand suspended and her phone on the floor.
"That's what we're talking about."
----------------
Y/N absentmindedly follows her teammates to Subway after they decided to grab some lunch there. Despite the buzz of camaraderie around her, she's lost in her own thoughts, savoring the simple pleasure of a break from today's events. Just as she starts to believe her day couldn't get any better, her world is rocked by the unwelcome intrusion of her parents' divorce being publicized.
Her heart sinks as she grapples with the sudden exposure of her family's private turmoil. Y/N has always been fiercely protective of her personal life, preferring to keep it shielded from prying eyes. The earlier article had already crossed a line, but this latest development feels like a betrayal of trust, a violation of the boundaries she holds sacred. She can't help but feel a surge of anger and frustration at the unnecessary intrusion into her family's affairs, a bitterness that threatens to overshadow the sweetness of her teammates' company.
Y/N finds a glimmer of solace in the silent solidarity of her teammates. As they gather around the table at Subway, not a single word is spoken about the tumultuous news that has shaken her world.
In that moment, Y/N feels a profound gratitude wash over her, a deep appreciation for their unspoken understanding and respect for her boundaries.
"The salad won't eat itself," snapped Paige, jolting Y/N from her deep thoughts. Y/N mechanically took a fork, but her salad remained untouched.
"Eat up, Miller. You need your energy." Paige commandeered the fork and began mixing the salad for Y/N.
"How did you handle it?" Y/N's voice trembled with vulnerability, causing Paige to pause mid-stir.
Paige didn't respond immediately, her mind racing to grasp the depth of Y/N's question. It didn't take long for the realization to sink in—it was about the divorce.
"When your parents divorced? How did you handle it?" Y/N's eyes glistened with unshed tears, a vulnerability she hadn't intended to reveal. Paige felt a pang of empathy twist in her gut. Y/N's question caught her off guard.
"Nevermind," Y/N murmured, her voice barely above a whisper as she wiped away the threatening tears. Determinedly, she finally began to eat her salad, hoping to distract herself from the emotional turmoil of the day.
As she savored each bite, Y/N made a conscious effort to push aside the weight of her parents' divorce. Her phone buzzed incessantly with texts and calls, but she only mustered the strength to respond to her dad via text. All she wanted was for their divorce to be finalized so they could all move forward with their lives.
Her thoughts drifted to the inevitable changes ahead. Her mom and dad would each go their separate ways, free to pursue new relationships if they so chose. While the idea of their family no longer being whole was a painful one, Y/N knew it was time to accept reality.
Above all, she yearned for one simple request: no more articles portraying her solely as her mother's daughter. She was determined to forge her own path, to carve out her own identity separate from her family's legacy.
-------
"You okay, babe?" Nika asked Y/N, slinging her arm around her shoulders. Y/N responded with her most convincing smile. "I'm fine," she assured Nika, though the skepticism lingered in her friend's nod. "Just so you know, we're here for you, okay?" Nika offered a comforting hug. "Thanks, babe."
As they strolled back to the university after lunch, Nika, Azzi, and Aaliyah had already forged ahead for their afternoon classes, while Paige had disappeared into god knows where. Y/N's afternoon lay open; no classes to attend. She pondered whether to take a stroll around her apartment's neighborhood or indulge in a swim in the pool.
Waving goodbye to her teammates as they reached the university's parking lot, she contemplated driving back home.
Sighing, Y/N parked her car and headed towards her apartment, only to be surprised by a waiting Paige Bueckers holding a pint of Ben & Jerry's chocolate fudge ice cream.
"Paige, don't you have a class or something?" Y/N asked, noticing Paige still in her training attire: a UConn Huskies hoodie, basketball jersey shorts, socks, and slides.
Paige handed her the pint without saying anything.
"You asked me how I handled my parents' divorce," Paige shrugged.
"W-well forget it. I didn't mean to ---"
"It was hard. I thought we were a happy family, that they had vows, through thick and thin, for better or worse type of shit. I was angry, wondering what could possibly make them decide they weren't meant for each other. They had me for Christ's sake. It hurt to think that one day they'd meet someone new and start over, and what about me if that happens?" Paige took a deep breath before continuing.
"The good thing is, I was able to understand that it's better to have that divorce than to pretend they're still happy. I saw how happy my father is with his new family, happier than he was with my mother... All I'm trying to say is, whatever you feel in your current situation is valid—all the thoughts running in your head, the what-ifs, they're all valid. You'll come to terms with it soon, just give yourself time to feel it. And don't forget, you have us. It sucks to be a divorce child if you don't have siblings. It's okay, Miller. You can mope, you can lash out, feel it all the way."
Y/N burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, surprising Paige, especially considering they were in a parking lot. Y/N didn't know why the floodgates had opened—was it the news of her parents' divorce? The stress of the article? Or perhaps simply the ice cream? Regardless, she found herself releasing all the pent-up emotions.
"Christ, Miller. I didn't expect you to break down right here," Paige panicked, attempting to pacify her, though Y/N continued crying loudly.
Paige gently grabbed her hand, and together they walked towards Y/N's apartment, Y/N still sobbing loudly.
"People will think I made you cry." Paige said shaking her head.
They entered Y/N's apartment, with Paige leading the way as Y/N was too preoccupied at the moment. Paige settled Y/N on her couch and opened the ice cream she had brought. Y/N accepted it and took a spoonful, still teary-eyed.
Paige looked at her friend in disbelief, finding her oddly cute in this vulnerable state, with red, glistening eyes and puffy cheeks from crying.
They sat in silence, letting the ice cream provide comfort. It worked, as Y/N's tears eventually ceased.
"Thank you, Bueckers. I needed that cry and... the ice cream. How can I ever pay you back?" Y/N leaned her head on Paige's shoulder, grateful it was Paige who knew her favorite ice cream flavor.
Paige pretended to ponder the question. "You don't have to. Just get back to being yourself," she said, gently ruffling Y/N's hair. Y/N sighed in contentment.
"I mean it, though. Thank you for being here. I was resigned to being miserable today," Y/N said, her voice filled with gratitude. They exchanged glances, and Paige found herself momentarily lost in Y/N's mesmerizing eyes. There was something about them that drew her in. She quickly looked away, not wanting to get too carried away and do something she shouldn't.
"Yeah, it's nothing. Get yourself together, Miller," Paige replied, more to herself than to Y/N, feeling her ears grow warm.
"Are you okay? You seem... red?" Y/N asked, noticing Paige's flushed cheeks.
"Not as red as you are. You look ugly when you cry, Y/N," Paige remarked, trying to lighten the mood.
Y/N stiffened at the comment. This was the first time she had heard Paige address her by her first name. The surprise on Y/N's face caused Paige's brows to furrow.
"What?" Paige asked, suddenly feeling self-conscious.
"Nothing, you've never called me by my name before. Or maybe you did, I just didn't hear you," Y/N shrugged, trying to downplay it. She didn't want to make Paige feel awkward.
"I just don't know what to feel hearing it from you. It sounds different," Y/N admitted.
Paige choked on her response, caught off guard by Y/N's vulnerability. This woman will be the death of her one day. -----------------

TSUNDERE MIGUEL O'HARA THAT IS DENYING HIS FEELINGS FOR READER WHILE HE ACTIVELY THINKS ABOUT THEM 24/7 AND KNOWS ALL THEIR CUTE LITTLE QUIRKS (READER CAN BE SPIDERMAN OR NORMAL PERSON YOUR CHOICE) PLEASE I NEED TRUNDERE MIGUEL SO MUCH IM DYING IM STARVING *sob sob cry sob*
love, your best friend Dre <3
i won't say i'm in love — MIGUEL O'HARA
Tumblr media
(( uhhh .... i have no clue who this motherfucker is! jk lol hi tommy [ you slut ] here is your severely in denial miguel fic, spoiler free. ))
"Lyla, arrange this mess."
Miguel waved his hand at the AI, eyes focused on the glowing screen in front of him. He always had the habit of keeping a messy desktop, though it wasn't a big problem for him considering his trusty artificial intelligence assistant.
To which the trusty artificial intelligence would poke and tease Miguel in response. At times, he really wondered if Lyla was secretly being controlled by a human. A pesky, occasionally annoying, childish human that constantly pushed his buttons.
"What's the magic word, Miguel?"
He groaned bringing his index finger and thumb to the bridge of his nose, massaging the stress lines that have formed from constantly being teased and played with.
"...Please."
Lyla lets out an electric hum, her avatar glitching into a thinking pose. She stares at Miguel with a confused look through her heart-shaped sunglasses. "Sorry. The signal in here is so bad. What was that?"
"I said, please, Lyla. Get to work."
"Oh, don't worry. I heard you the first time."
The man lets out a defeated sigh, he's given up on trying to defend himself against Lyla. Even when he's old and withered, this charade will continue like a never-ending circus show.
Multiple screens pop up in front of the AI, to which Miguel bashfully averts his gaze. He's normally organized enough, in the workplace but he's also very busy. Little things like putting files in the folders they belong simply evades his mind sometimes.
However, one file in particular stood out in front of him from the corner of his eye. It was a drive, among all the others that are colored in the regular shade of blue and labeled accordingly, this one was highlighted in pink with a little heart symbol at the end.
"Lyla, what's that?"
Her avatar glitches again into her in a sitting position, a little teacup in her hands as she takes a fake sip. "Hmm? I don't know, I don't see anything. Which one are you talking about?"
"Ay dios mío... The one in pink, Lyla. What is it?"
"Ohhh..." An obviously fake display of surprise makes itself present on Lyla's face, she opens the file. "This is a drive of all of the times you talked about that recruit. Lovingly, might I add."
Miguel's eyes darted around the screen, folding his arms over his chest. There were many, many videos of him. The scroll bar just kept going like there was no end.
Hesitantly, he pointed to one among the sea of videos and Lyla opened it. The playback goes as follows, the 'recording' is from her perspective, it seems.
Miguel is hunched over his desk, mumbling nonsense to himself until it becomes more coherent as Lyla approaches him.
"Whatcha' got there?"
The camera shifts and zooms over to Miguel's hand, to where he's holding a small tupperware. Filled to the brim with baked goodies, a small sticky note is pasted to the top of it however the writing is too tiny to make anything of it.
'They got me a gift.'
'That's the third one this week.'
His chest heaves as he lets out a deep sigh.
'...I know.'
A small moment of silence before Miguel continues speaking.
'Esto es tan tonto. I don't why they keep bringing me these... these things! I don't know why they keep smiling brighter than sun when they give them to me!'
Miguel frustratingly opens the tupperware, brings one of the pastries close to his mouth and takes a big bite. A small groan escapes his throat.
'I don't know what they're putting in these things to make them so delicious! Giving them to me, of all people. Stupid, stupid, stupid. So smart they are. Agile, strong, and capable and— and kind...'
Another bite.
'You know that you've gotten them gifts before, right?'
'But they all look idiotic next to this. Made with their precious time and care. Putting in the effort to make sure that they actually taste good and they do,'
Miguel closes the tupperware with a loud snap.
'¿A quién estoy engañando? They're amazing.'
"Miguel?"
That wasn't part of the recording. Miguel swipes at the screen and it fades out of existence, little pixels hovering in his sight before it completely disintegrates. Lyla disappears too as you swing onto the platform of his office.
He tenses up once he sees you, leaning a hand against his desk. God, he definitely did not want to look at you after what he just watched. He especially did not want to look at you because of the blush that stained his cheeks. Thankfully, mostly hidden by the darkness of his chambers.
Of course, you greeted him with the same warm smile.
"Haven't seen you all day today. Are you doing alright?"
"Fine. Doing fine. Just cleaning, why are you here?" Says Miguel, he despised how his heart pounded in his chest so loudly right now. Whenever he was around you.
Being so composed was what he was known for, what he was respected for. Yet, everytime you even look in the same direction as him, his exterior just melts.
"I just wanted to check in on you, was all. I noticed you haven't come out in a while, I brought you an empanada from the cafeteria just in case you were hungry."
You toss the small container to him and he catches it in one hand, he could hardly comprehend what was going on right now. Staring mindlessly at the box. "Thank you."
"Of course. Take care of yourself for me, I'll... head out now."
He watches over the edge as you fall off the platform, landing onto ledge that separates his desk from the rest of the room.
"Can you start ranting now? I want to get this drive up to 600 videos."
Miguel grumbles, opening the box and biting into the delectable snack before going back to organizing his desktop.

I do not want to do discourse but I am quite tired so feel free to scroll past this or ignore it idc
First and foremost I do not care if other positivity projects exist. They can exist in unique ways for unique reasons. It's a beautiful thing. I'm sure people love what they do and they're doing it for fun. Personally? I love what I do. A normal amount. And I do it my own way. Kinley Café is my heartbeat and it's always been a project that I deeply enjoy and that I am passionate about. I ask for nothing in return except the chance to touch other people's lives and make them smile by sending out your orders.
I am so comforted by the amount of love and support I receive. It's motivating and has helped me through difficult times. I have been so distracted spreading joy that I've basically breezed through what is usually the most difficult month of my life.
And yet. And yet!! I have been reported as spam so the café does not come up in searches (it's limited/partially shadowbanned I guess you can say. I constantly worry that this affects people getting notified when they receive treats because I want them to know someone is thinking of them. But I have been communicating with Tumblr about it, so don't worry too much). I have received phishing links in DMs and on the order form. And more recently, a password protected blog that hasn't had any activity in 40 days receives nearly a dozen notifications out of the blue because of a months old post circulating as some sort of gotcha, and I find out someone is telling people that I copied an idea (from myself btw) and sent out anons trying to encourage people to call me out over...stealing my own idea?
And I don't wanna hear "they didn't know it was me" because nobody asked me shit! I didn't show anybody any disrespect. In fact, I was being supportive! I showed love! I took the time out to make something because I wanted to continue to encourage the spread the positivity.
And yet, people made accusations even though I was being kind? Do you want a trampoline since you like fucking jumping to conclusions?
KC has been open for FIVE weeks. And I've dealt with all this in a short period of time for absolutely no reason. I've been nothing but kind and supportive of others. I genuinely and sincerely try my best.
I don't wanna let this taint something beautiful or let anything discourage me from doing this again. But I swear to god.....this shit is getting really annoying and bringing out the worst in me. lmao why am I fighting for my life during this little hiatus? I'm dedicating my free time to creating things, and collaborating with others just to spread love and kindness. I don't want anything but peace and quiet.
What's next? Do I have to keep dealing with dumbassery? Or can I go back to sending out treats and going on about my fucking business? Because I do not have time for this. I do not want all this static!!!
I've turned off reblogs. If you want to talk to me privately that's fine but this has been a little overwhelming and I just wanted to get this off my chest.

THE GRADE AID. 001
next. |
overall summary: lee min-ho, your absolute academic rival, an absolute menace needs help to raise his grade before the semester ends, and who better to ask for help than you, the grade aid.
overall contents: minho is cocky, a bunch of teasing, angst, fights, mentions of injuries, good ending, lowercase
word count: 0.98k
lee minho, the school's most popular male, the son of a wealthy businessman, and your absolute rival in school. he was an absolute menace, someone who'd egg you on if you'd ever get even 1% less than him on tests, someone who didn't even have to make attempts to get a good grade, he was naturally smart and even if he wasn't, his father could still silver spoon him into good schools.
this same minho now sat at the table inside the chemistry lab, looking at his paper in pure horror. A big circular number on his paper read beside the percentage sign. and as if that hadn't been scary enough, the message below was even worse.
"I am disappointed in your efforts, mr. lee"
the words were intensely scary it was almost as if he could hear your voice saying it for some reason.
"zero? damn, that's harsh." he turned out to meet your face, peering over his shoulder with a grinning expression.
you made your way to a seat next to him, sighing loudly, reminiscent of all the times he did the same to you in a test.
"oh yeah? what'd you get?" he leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest.
a smile appeared on your face as you slid your paper over to him, his eyes widening slightly but his overall expression the same.
one-hundred and twenty percent??
"I know you may be wondering, how does such a strong, intelligent, empathetic being get such a high score, minus the extra credit."
"I'm not wondering, I don't care." he was salty, you took note of that. you laughed a little to yourself as you felt victorious for once in your whole rivalry.
the whole rivalry started 3 years ago when you all got the exam results posted on a bulletin outside. whilst everyone raved on about how smart you were, minho felt jealous and decided he wanted to be smart as well
after that, minho would feel such high validation and get praise for being able to beat you in certain subjects, becoming the first topic when it comes to student intelligence.
It annoyed you. why would someone like him wanna take the one good thing you had? he had luxury, he had potential love interests, and he had a life made up for him. so why was it that he constantly felt the need to take away your progress?
it was a question both you and he constantly asked yourselves. one even jisung asked himself as minho ranted to him.
"they laughed in my face, jisung." minho emphasized as he rubbed his temples, sighing in disbelief.
jisung was scrolling through his phone, showing halfhearted sympathy as he lifted his head to look at minho. "well they're only giving you the same thing you give them." jisung reasoned which caused minho to sigh again.
as days passed, minho constantly saw a downgrade in his chemistry work, more messages filled with the word "disappointed". this went on for about 2 weeks before the teacher pulled him aside at the end of class.
"mr. lee" she starts off, peering up at him through her glasses before sighing and shaking her head.
he already knows what's to come as he approaches her desk, a worried look on his face.
"lately, I've been seeing some uh.. flaws in your work for the past few weeks and I've been a bit concerned." she brings out a slip of paper, handing it to him.
"this is a mini graph of your grades and how they can affect you going into college if you don't fix them.''
minho sighs, looking down for a second before lifting his head back up. "Is there any way I can fix them before the semester ends?"
her face lights up in a suggestive smile and minho feels the weights of his shoulders lift a little with hope.
"I like that you're not willing to give up, I'm proud of you," she states before bringing out folders filled with student applications.
"I have a few students who are doing exceptionally well in my classes and may be willing to help you." she opens the first folder, your picture is there as well as your tutor information. she lets out a small aha before showing minho.
"y/n l/n, they excel the most in my classes, I assume you'd know them?" minho's eyes widen once he sees the picture, a small sigh leaving his mouth as he looks away, muttering a small "yes''
"great! I'll get them to tutor you, starting tomorrow, the more time, the merrier"
as the day went on minho dreaded the fact you had to tutor him. he wished it was someone who liked him more, someone who'd guarantee his good grades.
the next day went by scarily fast as now he sat in the library, watching your figure make your way over to the table, an annoyed look on your face.
"do you intend on bothering me, lee?" your face was stern as you stared at him with widened eyes.
he sighed and rolled his eyes. "I didn't have a choice, I wouldn't have chosen you if I did."
you let out a harsh airy breath, setting your books on the table. "as if you couldn't have gotten a personal tutor instead of wasting my time. oh wait, I forgot you need daddy's money to afford that and of course, you wouldn't want daddy to think his little son wasn't perfect."
minho rolled his eyes once more. "right. if you're gonna keep talking instead of helping me, I'd be very happy to tell her that her perfect little ace isn't as generous as she believed" his head was tilted to the side, his eyes bleeding into you as he spoke.
you sighed in return, sitting down before opening the books, starting your first lesson.

I have a hot take. I'm actually 100% tired of seeing the TWST rp blogs clog up the tags of the characters. Like I'm happy for you guys and all, but you clog up nearly EVERY twst related tag and it gets absolutely frustrating. I love to see the art and the writing from this fandom, but I have to scroll past dozens of RP posts just to see it, it make it not worth even going into the tag. It takes the fun out of the content for people.
...
To be honest, yeah. Personally, I'd recommend blocking the twst rp tag because it's what I do, but seriously. If you constantly use the main tags, it gets really, really annoying.
For example, I used to scroll through the tags for Azul content, but nowadays, it's so clogged up with rp content I don't even bother. And with fanfic and fanart, it's different, in my opinion. First off all—there are more people who enjoy it, let's face it. However-
The quantity is an issue. No one makes five or six fics in a night. No one makes five or six artworks, or edits, in a night. But rp posts? It's fairly easy to make that many.
Listen, like another blog said once, make rp posts all you want, but you really, really don't need to put all of them in the main tag.

WIBTA if I asked my boyfriend to not use his phone when we go camping with my family or to not come at all?
I have been going camping with my family every year since the yeat I was born. I am an adult now and have been with my boyfriend for several years, and he has come camping with me a few times.
The place we go camping only got cell service/electricity in the past few years. Which means for 90% of my life, I came up here and had to "unplug". I used to not like it as a teen, but as an adult with a real job, I really like getting away from it all. My family is so used to not having internet/ cell service/ wifi up here, that we still use it even though we can now.
This year, I noticed my boyfriend has been on his phone alot scrolling through social media. We camp with a lot of family friends (like, 4+ other families), so we constantly have people popping in and out of our site to hang out, chat, catch up etc etc because our site is in a central location. He obviously doesnt know these family friends as well as I do, but it feels rude that he essentially sits in a corner on his phone when there are "guests visiting". No one else really uses their phones either.
One night there was a firefly between our tent and the tent's rain cover that was putting in light show that was really cool to watch! But my boyfriend kept going on his phone, and the light from his phone was blocking out the firefly lights. I asked him to put his phone away because this was a magical experience for me and his phone was preventing me from seeing it. I felt bad asking him to put his phone away, but I have been camping here for XX number of years and having a firefly that close has never happened.
I think thats when I started to get concerned with his phone use. The idea that this magical once and a life time nature experience was happening, and he would rather be scrolling through social media which he can do the other 358 days a year. He also like to "update me" on all the horrible doom scrolling he sees on twitter etc, as well as try to show me memes and "group chat jokes." Even when we have people over and Im talking to them. He is NEVER like that in the "real world"
I talked to him about he behavoir a little bit, and he said that since he has ADHD he needs to be constantly stimulated and can't just "sit there and do nothing." I normally read while camping but he hates reading, so that doesnt work for him. He also complained about how my family just "sits around" while we go camping. I didn't say anything because I was embarrassed to tell him that I like that about camping too.
I have been thinking about asking him to either use his phone less next year, or to not come next year (he hasnt come every single year with me anyways, depending on his schedule). Cause to be it seems like he's not enjoying the 'camping' part of camping. I don't want to force my "unplugged lifestyle" on him if he really cant stand it. Nor do I want it to be an ultimatum that he has to "conform to my unplugged lifestyle, or not come." I also feel like asking him not to come is going to hurt his feelings a lot. This would have been easier if our campsite never got service or internet. He used to be a boy scout and go on week+ long camping trips, so its not like he's new to camping as a whole.
tldr: Im annoyed by my boyfriends excessive phone use while camping. WIBTA if I asked him to either stop or not come next year?
What are these acronyms?

(If a rant about angry/whiny people hating on starchaser without evidence will bring your day down, please scroll lovely, I just want to get some thoughts out!)
-
I hate to be all whingy like this again and I swear I'll try to stop sharing my thoughts on this soon but PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who's noticed that quite often, a pretty big number of (NOT ALL) jily fans get really angry about Lily being hated and shat on by Jegulus fans but I NEVER see Jegulus fans hating on Lily/jily?? I mean I'm constantly hit with jily fans yelling about how we all hate women and hate that they're canon and erase Lily but I can name probably 1 time I've seen a Jegulus fan hate on Lily and they were an awful person outside of that too. I think they probably haven't actually seen any Jegulus content (especially past the first little layer of it) and just assume that we all hate Lily and jily but we DON'T. And it's really annoying be she obviously people see that and go 'oh my god this is awful' and spread it and then everyone thinks we're horrible and then they spread it and suddenly it's this big epidemic of 'oh my god Jegulus haters all hate Lily and think she's an incubator' when I've never seen any examples of that past like those few weirdos in 2022.
Like I used to love both ships but jily fans have just been getting more and more angry and toxic and saying that I must hate Lily and it's totally pushing me away from liking them anymore bc I don't get why we're being called misogynists and toxic when they're yelling about things almost all of us haven't done? I'm sure there are some but it's really such a minority (and I'm pretty sure most of them are 12 year olds anyway).
Also a little off topic but the 'the series wouldn't exist without jily' is such a weird argument to me too bc I literally never denied that? I never denied that they're canon and I never said that the fandom would exist without them, I just don't care about what's canon. Like I know that if I make Lily a lesbian and decide that she doesn't marry James, Harry wouldn't exist, but I don't really care about the lightning era anyway so I don't get why it's such a common argument.
Sometimes it IS misogyny and we should call that out, but not ALWAYS.
Anyway that's all, it's just getting on my nerves so much lately.

The Flanderization(?) of Peter Parker
So for the past few weeks, I’ve been scrolling on Twitter (and before I get 20 comments telling me that was a mistake) and there, I’ve been seeing an interesting series of posts.
Essentially, these posts have shared what many people’s ideal version Spider-Man (Peter Parker) should be like.
And at first, it didn’t seem so bad at first.
But after looking into these posts some more, it gave me the urge to swim in a pond full of hungry alligators.
A lot of the takes on these posts are not only pretty bad, but even miss the appeal and point of the character.
So today, I wanted to discuss lot of the points I've been seeing in these posts, as I feel like Peter is suffering from a case of......maybe not exactly flanderization, but something similar to that.
So without further ado, let's get this started!
-Peter should constantly be angry and angsty:
I already talked about this point in my Spectacular Spider-Man post, but I figured I should bring it up again here for cohesion sakes.
It's pretty well known that for decent chunk of his existence pre-2000s, Peter was known for having a bit of a temper.
Especially during the Lee and Ditko-era, given how unhinged he was.
And honestly, I don't like this point.
Unpopular opinion: but unless they're played in a comedic sense or we actually see them grow out of this, I really don't like angry characters.
I tend to find them somewhat shallow and they can real old, real quick.
But fans believe that this is how Peter should be like 24/7.
And to that I must say.....
youtube
Like, I'm not the biggest fan of Lee/Ditko Peter or OG Ultimate Peter, but them being constantly angry and angsty at least made some sense with the fact that they were teenagers.
But fans are saying the current Peter Parker, who may I remind you, is literally pushing 30, should be like this all the time.
Like dude. If Peter was like this, he would come off as more of an emotionally-stunned man-child than he already does!
And fans HATE Peter being a man-child!
I also mentioned this in my Spectacular post, but I feel like the reason fans have been wanting a Peter like this is because of how a lot of recent Spidey media has portrayed the dude as being kind of a punk and a pushover.
So basically they're trying to overcompensate.
And even then, let's be honest, having Peter constantly being angry and angsty is gonna get really old and annoying.
Like after a while, you're just gonna have to ask him.......
youtube
Like, I get his life isn't easy. But MY GOD. He is really trying to say that nothing good ever happened to him, at all?
Not ONE good thing?
-Peter should be an asshole to just about everyone:
Now this point I really hate.
This ties into the whole overcompensating problem I just mentioned.
As of a result of this, I've been seeing people recently gassing up Lee/Ditko Peter.
For those who aren't in the know, Lee/Ditko Peter was a massive asshole.
This dude was the personification of "no chill".
Being needlessly spiteful and rude to just about everyone except for Aunt May, and a total smart-ass.
Plus, he was a total incel.
Tumblr media
Like, I get it.
Fans want to see a Peter again that actually has some backbone.
I do too.
But they've taken it too far.
Where they believe that in order to showcase this, Peter needs to be an insufferable asshole who treats everyone around like shit.
Even if they don't deserve it.
You know he's suppose to be The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, right?
Like, who wants to follow a Peter who's just a flat-out jerk?
I ain't gonna feel sorry for him if anything bad happens to him.
Because.....
youtube
Also, who the hell would want to see a Peter like this being a married man with a child?
Are there legitimately some fans who are just like.....?
"Yeah! In addition to being a piece of shit to everyone around him, I love seeing Peter being a horrible (and possibly abusive) husband and father! That's what he's suppose to be like!"
-Peter should love being Spider-Man so he has an outlet to take his anger out on everything:
As I mentioned before, you know he's suppose to The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, right?
Peter loves being Spider-Man because he gets to help people in need and protect them from danger.
Having Peter love being Spider-Man just so he can take his anger out on everything not only makes him look like an asshole, but also makes him look like a psychopath.
Like, Peter apparently should actually love beating the shit out of the people.
-Peter should only show kindness and friendliness on occasions:
I hate this fucking point.
Peter is suppose to be one of the kindest and most selfless heroes in the Marvel Universe.
As I've already mentioned twice, "Friendly" is in his name!
Though apparently, some fans believe that it's bad for heroes to be kind and friendly?
youtube
Exactly!
I'm guessing it's because as I'm sure many of you know, there's been this long-standing, toxic mindset of that showing kindness and friendliness makes you weak.
And as I mentioned before, Peter has had an issue in recent years of being seen as a pushover.
So you can kinda see where I'm coming from with this.
-Peter should be the strongest hero there is. Nobody can beat him!:
While I don't hate this point like some of the other ones, this one still really grinds my gears.
It's a known fact that Peter is a lot stronger than he lets on.
He himself has even said that he always pulls his punches to ensure he doesn't kill anyone.
There's also the fact that he's famously taken down various superhero teams all on his own.
This has led many fans to believe that Peter is one of the most powerful characters and could actually beat anybody in the Marvel Universe.
youtube
You remember in my X-Men Hot Takes post when I mentioned that Cyclops has essentially the same problem as Batman.
You know what, I take it back.
It's Peter who has that issue.
Don't get me wrong, Peter is a very strong character.
But, I don't think he's as strong as some make him out to be.
In addition to that, saying he can beat literally anyone in the Marvel Universe is really fucking pushing it.
I mentioned before that people tend to use his victories against those superhero teams as a main example for why he's the strongest hero around.
However, people tend to leave out the fact that when Peter fought those teams, they weren't exactly attacking him nor were they in the mindset of doing so.
Because if they were, I legitimately feel like they actually would decimate him.
There's also the fact that people tend to often ignore what each of those heroes capable of and even ignore THEIR feats.
As I mentioned before, Peter's tough, but he's not THAT tough.
He ain't gonna be throwing hands evenly with Superman.
Or making Saitama quake in his boots.
Also, we all know DAMN well he ain't gonna be beating.....
youtube
-Peter should be the purest definition of an alpha male:
So a while back, I saw a post that stated a theme of Spider-Man that isn't often talked about is that of what it means to be a man.
It was a pretty interesting read, and looking back at a lot of issues from the past, I can definitely see it.
So why am I bringing this up.
Well, from how a lot of fans want Peter to act, they're essentially say he needs to be like, the true definition of an alpha male.
Basically take every trait of toxic masculinity you can think of, put it in a blender, and then force-feed it to Peter like how Weird Al Yankovic's mom force-fed him sauerkraut until he was 26 1/2 years old.
(Bonus points for anyone who gets that reference)
I thought that we as a society all agreed that alpha males are cringe and shouldn't be something to aspire to.
But to the Spider-Man fandom, apparently not.
Though I will admit, it is funny to imagine Peter being absolutely obsessed and looking up to Andrew Tate of all people.
"SHOCKER! What color is your Bugatti!?"
youtube
-Peter should be cucking everyone and should have a harem:
This is unfortunately another case of the overcompensation.
It's no surprise that Peter has gained a reputation of being seen as a cuck, due to him losing Mary Jane to.....
Tumblr media
HIM.
Despite the fact that famously for decades, Peter had been portrayed as being quite the chick magnet.
Attracting the attention of several women.
However, due to Peter's recent reputation as a Cuck Berry, fans have been clamoring for him to be a chick magnet again so HE can be the one doing the cucking!
And I don't like that.
This made even worse with the fact that there's the consideration of having Peter essentially be a harem protagonist!
And I know most people tend to use this as a joke, but I've seen a good chunk of fans unironically saying that Peter should have a harem.
Everytime I see this image, a part of me dies inside.....
Tumblr media
-Peter should be the one and only Spider-Man:
One of all the points here, this is the one I HATE the most.
And for those who aren't terminally online, you do too.
Ever since like the 1970s, we have seen other versions of Spider-Man (many of which are alternate versions of Peter).
Mainly set in alternate universes like Spider-Ham, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man Noir, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Spider-Punk.
But also in the 70s, we would actually see that were other Spidery superheroes besides Peter in the mainline Marvel Universe, starting with introduction of Jessica Drew.
And over the decades, we would be introduced to more like Ben Reilly, Kaine, and Silk.
Though you're probably wondering what do these guys have to do with this point.
Well, ever since the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, there's been a notable rise in the featuring of other Spider-People.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And unfortunately, many people (myself included) have gotten a little tired of it.
However, there are good chunk of fans who believe that Peter should be the only and one Spider-person and that there shouldn't be any others.
And while I can see where they're coming from, I wouldn't go that far.
However, the other Spider people of the 616-verse tend to get a free pass on this.....
Except for one.....
You may have noticed that I left one major Spider-Person.
Undoubtedly the biggest one behind Peter himself.
And that's none other than...
youtube
Miles....Miles.....Miles.
Although a more recent addition to the Spider-Man mythos, he's quickly gone on to become an immediate mainstay.
And while most of the fanbase loves the guy, there's also a good chunk of it who ABSOLUTELY hates him.
And the main reason for that is the fact that he's the only Spider-Person in the 616-Verse who has taken on the title of "Spider-Man".
And when this happened, this caused quite the stir.
To put it lightly.
I'm sure many of you know by now that Miles was originally from The OG Ultimate Universe.
And was one of the few things in that trainwreck of a universe that wasn't shit.
Tumblr media
But following the events of the 2015 Secret Wars, Miles would be relocated to the 616 Universe.
And it was quite controversial when it happened.
While some were cool with it, others were not, as they felt that having 2 Spider-Men in the same universe would be a problem.
However, it really isn't, especially since these two hardly interact.
Yeah, it's funny to think about how Peter and Miles are pretty distanced from one another whereas as every other iteration featuring the duo portray them as incredibly close.
But in spite of that, many fans beg to differ.
I'm sure just about all of you have heard of the infamous phrase.
"Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Miles Morales is Miles Morales"
And although the line is seen as a total joke, it does emphasize how there's a lot of fans who refuse to accept Miles as Spider-Man or even as a worthy successor to the name.
I think the main reason is because Peter himself is still Spidey.
And alive.
So it makes Miles being Spider-Man kinda redundant.
But if that's the case, what about the Hawkeyes?
Kate Bishop became the successor to Clint Barton, despite still being alive and active.
So how come they don't get any flack for this?
I also feel like another reason why Miles is hated is because of how he's been doing.
It's no surprise to many that while he's had his fair share of struggles, his life is NOWHERE near to the same level of misery porn as Peter's.
And given that Spidey fans are sick of Peter's life being absolute shit, I feel like there's a sense of envy at play here.
Also, yes, there are definitely those fans who hate Miles being the successor to Peter just because he's half-black and half-Puerto-Rican.
How much you wanna bet those dipshits are fans of this even bigger dipshit?
Tumblr media
-Peter should always be a little selfish:
Now we've come to the second worst point on this list.
Anyone who says Peter needs to be selfish undoubtedly misses the point of the character.
One of Peter's most defining traits is his selflessness.
He always goes out of his way to protect and help those in need, even if he doesn't get anything in reward or ends up suffering for it in a way.
Because it's the right thing to do!
But as I've mentioned several times in this post, Spidey fans have a problem with Peter being selfless as it apparently makes him look like a pushover.
And even then.....have these fans just forgot that Peter being selfish resulted in the tragedy that has defined him since the very beginning?!
That being the DEATH OF UNCLE BEN!
And even then, Peter himself has refused to be selfish, because he knows that if he was, someone else could suffer the same tragedy he did!
And he would never want that to happen to anyone!
-Other heroes should hate Peter because of how great he is and better than all of them he is!:
To wrap this up, we'll be looking at one of the least bad points on this encursed list.
On Twitter, I've seen people gassing up the issue where Peter harassed The Avengers.
Tumblr media
And many fans have been clamoring, saying that this how all of Peter's interactions with other heroes should be like.
Being that they should despise him (and maybe even be deeply jealous of him because of how great he is).....
Apart from the fact that this would make Peter look like a bully and a nuisance, I really don't like this approach.
Like many, I've grown tired of the concept of heroes just hating each other.
Largely thanks to the hero vs. hero craze that overtook the mid-to-late 2000s and the early-to-mid-2010s.
Seeing heroes being on negative terms with each other isn't interesting anymore, because it's been ran into the goddamn ground.
I like seeing heroes on positive terms with each other, because it's more interesting and could even led all kinds of dynamics.
Having the heroes just hate each other is so damn easy and lazy.
Hell, some of Peter's most interesting relationships are positive ones with one heroes.
Definitely the greatest would have to be with The Fantastic Four.
Like, they're so close to each other and genuinely care about each other so much, that they even consider Peter a part of their family!
But apparently that's not interesting anymore.....
youtube
This was probably one of the hardest posts I've ever done.
Not just because I wanted to make sure I got my thoughts on all these points across as clear as possible, but also just trying to make sense out of them in order to see why so many fans have been saying them so much.
But anyway, that's all I have for now.
Let me know what you think about these.
Also, let me know if there's any other commonly mentioned points I that missed.
But just like Michigan J. Frog said, I'm gonna get a drink.
Peace.

20 questions for fic writers
Thanks for the tag, @flowerparrish! :D
How many works do you have on ao3? 213, but somewhere between like 85 and 100 of those are just images.
What’s your total ao3 word count? 1,049,952
What fandoms do you write for? Clone Wars
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Many of the top works are art-only, but if I sort through, looks like most of the fics are those that I have never reread or re-edited, so 😬
That’s Not How It Happened (This Is How It Happened) - My first fic, which I have re-edited since first posting it. Chip arc fix-it
Orbital Decay - Haven't touched this since I posted it. Codywan
Modulation - Also don't think I've re-edited this at all. Echo/Fives
Will You Walk With Me? - The only one of the top five that I care much about XD; Waxer and Boil (platonic or pre-relationship)
Kintsugi - Not re-edited. Codywan
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! I love replying to comments with my usual unhinged yammering :D
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending You're Just Harder to See Than Most, but it's part of a larger series where the sad stuff in this gets better. As a stand-alone, though, it's very angsty 🙈
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Hah, so many XD Maybe Count Every Beautiful Thing?
Do you get hate on fics? No, I've only gotten it for art, and thankfully AO3 isn't infested with pearl-clutching busybodies like Tumblr is, so I've only had one (honestly hilarious) hate comment there. It was on like the 6th chapter of a a very clearly tagged sketch dump in which several of the previous chapters were fairly explicit smut. And then on that last chapter, the person was like "Ew, they're brothers! This is disgusting." Hah, okay pal, seems like you were really enjoying it if you got to chapter 6. 🤣
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Sure do! Uh, a variety, I guess, though I suppose I haven't written anything that would be considered heavy kink?
Do you write crossovers? Nope
Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of, but I've had TONS of art stolen.
Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope
Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes!
What’s your all-time favorite ship? This is very hard to answer because I tend to latch onto ships for many years at a time. But no other characters before the clones ever inspired me to write fics, so I'll go with Waxer/Boil 🧡
What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I have an AU fic where the war ends shortly after Geonosis that I really want to write but can't make the brain go very well on it, for some reason. I have pages and pages of notes, some sketches, and like a chapter and a half drafted, but I keep getting stuck. I wouldn't say that I doubt I'll ever finish it, though. I probably just have to shake things around to knock loose whatever is gunked up.
What are your writing strengths? Maybe natural dialogue?
What are your writing weaknesses? I want to describe all the things. I want to put what I see in my head into your eyeballs. But I also tend to over-describe like, logistic-type stuff, I think—stuff that no one but me cares about XD
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Like a real language or a conlang? I don't know any of either well enough to include much of them in my fics, but when I use a bit of Ryl (which I've largely made up), I really limit it because I get annoyed when there's a ton of conlang in fics I'm trying to read. Scrolling to the end notes constantly is not very fun.
First fandom you wrote for? Clone Wars
Favorite fic you’ve written? Hmm, well I have a soft spot for Will You Walk With Me? but I think my two objectively best fics are My Heart's Red Muscle (78K Waxer/Boil cyborg AU) and We Could Breathe Underwater (5K Force-sensitive Waxer/Boil).
That was fun!
No-pressure tags: @lizardberries @elismor @valkeakuulas @blackkatmagic @amukmuk
And because I always long for a blank version of these tag things to copy/paste, just the questions below the cut:
How many works do you have on ao3?
What’s your total ao3 word count?
What fandoms do you write for?
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Do you get hate on fics?
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Do you write crossovers?
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
What’s your all-time favorite ship?
What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
What are your writing strengths?
What are your writing weaknesses?
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
First fandom you wrote for?
Favorite fic you’ve written?

Loving your bapssidy content! Scrolled through your blog and this doodle drew itself, I really hope we get to see more of them in the future. There is so much banter and flirting to be had! Speaking of, if you have any prompts for fics I'd love to hear 'em!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dose-
Does this mean I'm the Bapssidy blog now??
Thank you for your art and your service to getting Bapssidy more content!!
As for fic ideas I have a few;
Just a regular confession fic, just some nice fluff (bonus points if Pharah is trying to set them up)
Same as the first one but Baptiste is struggling to confess meanwhile Cassidy already thinks they're dating
A more angst focused confession fic where Cassidy is unsure if he's ready to get into a relationship cause my mans has trauma. (In my mind it ends with Jack telling Cassidy to just go for it cause he'll never be fully ready and he can't just let the opportunity slip past)
Just a cute little modern AU where Baptiste frequents a bar Cassidy works at
Mercy and Genji finding out Cassidy likes Baptiste and loosing they're minds about it.
A fic where they both just talk about they're pasts, what they miss, what they regret, the mistakes they made and how they want to fix them. Could be established relationship, could be pre-relationship.
Van Helsing!Cassidy x Vampire!Baptiste
Undead!Cassidy x Vampire!Baptiste
This one could be a comic too but Baptiste making "I'm fucking your son" and "Hello future father in law" jokes to Reaper, purely just to annoy him
On the flip side, Ana going embarrassing mum mode and telling Baptiste stories about Cassidy.
Just Ashe and Mauga on the battle field and both of them going "shit it's my ex" (Ashe could also be replaced with Julian if you want to make even more interesting)
This just goes for any ship with Cassidy, but Cassidy cooking. That's it.
A fic exploring both of they're love languages!
Them just going on a date. (bonus points if the rest of Overwatch + Sombra and maybe Reaper go to spy on them)
I don't even think that's all of them but I have too many and I constantly come up with new ones. These are the main ideas I have though!!

L~
Loki x GN!Avengers!Reader
Warnings: language, Injurys
A/N: another long piece- I quite like how this came out!, I hope y'all enjoyed! <3
Tumblr media
After the whole.. New York thing happened, Loki was assigned to be placed in earth, of course under Thor's watch, he was placed in the avengers tower.
Now of course, Loki didn't get along with anyone, I mean, he did in fact almost take over New York-
So it wasn't a surprise when all the members were rude, or wouldn't include him in anything
He couldn't blame them really
He was after all just a monster
But has time past, everyone stared warming up to him, he'd get to know everyone, but they'd still keep their distance, he couldn't blame them, he'd still get left out on conversations, Thor would sometimes try and bring him in them but it always got swept away, some still ignore him if he asked a question, slowly he stared going on missions like the rest.
One person he really didn't like though, was you
Now, it wasn't because you were ignoring him, or not including him or anything
Oh no
It was because you wouldn't stop talking to him
No, your not sweet when your talking to him, your very sarcastic, playful and honestly a bit rude
You had awful humor
Sometimes you would joke, and Loki wouldn't understand-, but you never bothered explaining-
He'd get paired with you on a mission and he'd roll his eyes and ask for a different partner, but Steve said, you were the only one who can actually handle him (Thor was ofc on a mission during those times, but he could never stop being annoyed with Loki, but with you it was the other way around, you annoyed him instead.) you'd smile at him and say "let's go partner~"
If Loki ever tried to get away from you, you'd somehow find your way to annoy him even more, either finding him in the library, or barging into his room to tell him something random, and leave, but not without leaving his door wide open
You really got under his skin
But.. to be completely honest.. he kinda liked the attention.
Of course he would never admit it-, gods no
Loki was sitting on the couch reading a book, it was just a few people in the tower today, a lot of them went on missions, or their having their own time to themselves
Loki hasn't seen you all day, which was a "relief" to him, as he'd say it
He was so quiet, and calming
But of course that quietness wouldn't last for poor Loki
All of a sudden he feels the couch bounce up, you had come in all your glorie, jumping on the couch beside him with a wide smirk on your face
Loki scrolled
How much he wanted to smack that smirk off your face..
Loki rolled his eyes and closed his book "what do you want from me" he got straight to the point
You smirked and shrugged "what do I usually want?, To annoy you bud" you patted his shoulder
Loki swatted your hand away, and glared at you "I do not have time for your annoyance, and do not call me 'bud' I am far from it."
You chuckled "don't like bud hm?" You thought for a moment then smiled "how about L~"
Loki stared "L?" What kind of nickname-
You smiled smugly "it stands for Loser~" you sang
Loki glared at you "you little-" before he could finish your up and off the couch laughing
"See ya later L~" you sang over your shoulder and went straight upstairs
Loki scoffed, and glanced at his unfinished book in his hand, he held it for a bit and put it on the table, shaking his head he couldn't help the small smile coming upon his lips
You were really something else
As time past, more missions where filling up everyone's schedules, not a lot of personal time to yourselves, it was constantly mission after mission
Loki would see you less, going on his own missions as well
But then you finally got paired together
Of course Loki pretended to not care about you, even said he "enjoyed" not having you around, you just rolled your eyes and walked in front of him
But, this mission took a turn for the worse real fast
No one saw it coming
During the walk, you both had developed a stable plan, well it seemed stable at the time-
You said you could handle it, and went ahead to your position
Loki had rolled his eyes and went to his position, he really wished he had stayed
Loki had to get the information documents that were placed in the building you both were assigned to, you would make sure no one would get past that point, sounded simple because there was barely any people around
Oh were you wrong
At one point you had to run away from your position, you didn't want to risk them finding Loki, so you had to make them follow you
You were able to take down quite a few of them, the adrenaline in you was starting to wear off, you were so exhausted from running and fighting, they had managed to get a few shots in, you were bleeding out, so much blood loss, but you couldn't stop now
Hiding behind yet another corner, you put your hands on your knees and lean your back against the wall, you take deep breaths in and exhale out, you out your hand on your side, were blood was coming out
Hopefully they didn't hit anything where it would leave to to death..
You huff out and grab your gun and check your ammunition, you cursed under your breath
No more ammo.. just great
You peek around the corner to see a few people looking through rooms, you quickly hide back, the pain was really getting to you now, you closed your eyes and tried to steady your breathing
Your legs felt like jelly, you couldn't stand any longer, Loki would just have to get out with out you..
He wouldn't care.. right?, He said so himself, he enjoyed not having you around
You slowly lowered yourself to the floor and sat all you could hear is the people asking where you had went, the shifting of their feet on the ground, hopefully it'll be a quick death..
All of a sudden everything thing goes quiet, you even think you had died-
"y/n?" You hear a whisper, not close by, yet not far away
It's Loki
You groan, you can't speak it's to painful, you look at your gun and slide it across the floor to get Loki's attention
You hear quick footsteps coming your way
Once Loki gets to your side his breath Hitches
There you are, sitting on the ground, bleeding and sweaty, he kneels down beside you and tucks a piece of hair behind your ear, to see your face clearly
"Y/N, can you hear me?" Loki says, hoping you weren't died, he didn't want that, damnit why didn't you call him!?
You groan and nod, your eye slowly open, not fully open, bit open enough to see a blurry Loki
You chuckle but instantly regret it "I.. look like shit... Huh?"
Loki Huff's a sigh of relief good, your still alive "don't talk, I'll get you out of here" he looks at your side were the blood is, it takes him some time to think of what to do, but once he figured it out he rapped a cloth over it
You'd groan, and grip his shoulder, he'd softly apologize, once that was done, he put one arm under your legs and the other around your shoulders, he held you tightly to him
He really didn't want to let go
"I got you my dear" he whispered
***
Time past and Loki hasn't seen you since you both arrived from the mission, you were barely awake from all the blood lose, he was anxious, he'd pase around his room waiting for any news about you, it felt like years before he finally got news, and was able to see you
Loki had waited till all team members were out of your room before he went inside, he was nervous, he wasn't sure if you even wanted to see him or not...
Opening the door he walks him, he instantly sees your face lit up
Well that's a good sign
You tilted your head "I wasn't sure if you were gonna come by.. guess the team were right.."
Loki raised a brow "right?" He repeated
You chuckle "nevermind that..., No flowers? Man could at least give me some chocolates?" You laughed
Loki stared at you and looked down
You were quick to inform him "It was just a joke. Don't worry, I'm not the type to like that thing, it was just a injury"
Loki looked at you with a glare "just a injury, you could of died put there, you reckless fool, why didn't you call me!?"
Your eyes widened with the raise of his voice you furrowed your brows "I didn't want to be a burden.., and besides we needed that information, we couldn't just leave it-"
"Forget about that!, Your life is more important then that!" Loki clenched his fist "we could of lost you.." he whispered "I could of lost you.."
For awhile there was silence in the room, Loki was starting down while you were starting right at him
Finally you cut that silence
"You actually care for me..?" You asked voice low
Loki raises his head and looks away "I know.. I'm do not do well with showing my emotions.. it's pathetic.. your right.. I am a loser.."
You look at him and smile softly, you raise your hand and tell him to come closer, with hesitation, he does, once he's next to you, you smile wider
"Your not a loser Loki.."
Loki looks at you and shakes his head "that is what 'L' stands for, does it not.."
You chuckle and pull him down to your level, Loki's eyes widened, you kiss his cheek and pull away "actually.. it stands for Lover, Lover boy"
Loki chuckles with a small blush and shakes his head "lover" he whispers and looks at you "I quite like the sound of that" he leans down and kisses your lips, it's shy, but it quickly turns more passionate
Once you both pull away from air, both flushed from kissing, you both stare into each other's eyes
You smile "I knew you liked the attention~" you giggled
Loki rolled his eyes and groans "shut it-" he cuts your giggles off with yet another passionate kiss
This relationship is gonna be different.

vent below. i'll put under a read more so you can scroll past if you don't want to read it
i wish my brain would stop making me constantly think i did something wrong. "oh i lost a few followers, i bet i said or posted something that upset them". "my art's doing worse than usual, maybe people are just sick of me". "this cool person i really like broke mutuals. i definitely did something that made them do that". always assuming the worst, like clockwork. no rest for even a moment
i know this is really stupid and i shouldn't worry about things like that. but it's so hard to stop. there's always that part of my brain telling me that i'm a bad person, that i'm annoying, or anything of that sort. i don't want it to seem like i'm ignoring people's reassuring words, i'm not. it's just so exhausting when even a silly little thing is enough to make me feel like all the progress i might have made towards being even a bit more confident is erased
if it was just an online thing then i'd take a break to get my thoughts back in order, i know clout chasing can be very toxic. but it's not just that, it happens irl as well. always worrying that people think i'm weird, or ugly, or just too boring to be around. it makes me want to hide from them, but then i'm just left with my thoughts. i wish i could just ignore it, but it's too difficult
i don't know what to do. it's gotten worse in the past few months, and i fear it's going to continue if i don't do anything. but i don't know where to start

Because I trust you to give it to me straight- what is your opinion on time zone reblogging? It is driving me NUTS. I see the same posts on my dash over and over with the tzr or whatever tag and I can't tell what the heck timezone they're doing it for because it's so random. Also...no one likes your content so much they need to see it half a dozen times a day so someone in another time zone might see it. And THEN if I want to scroll someone's blog, I see the same posts over and over because their mobile dash is their same posts reblogged continuously. I just don't understand the phenomenon. To me it's narcissistic, like you're so desperate for notes and validation youre forcing everyone to see your posts again and again. Yes I could block the tag but it doesn't just make the posts disappear, it hides them with a viewing disclaimer which is also annoying. I personally wish it wasn't such a trend in this community. I unfollow people over it at this point.
Oh I get you nonny. I actually do it myself but usually it's either once per day or once the next day after I post the original post. I do think it helps ppl see your post, especially if you post it at a bad time initially (like during school/work hours or on a holiday for example, when a lot of ppl aren't really on tumblr). I don't actually do it for an actual timezone I just do it randomly whenever I remember lol. But generally around 12 hours or so since it was first posted? Oh and if it's a cc post sometimes tzr helps cc finds blogs see it cos sometimes the tagging doesn't work i find. That's the most practical reason I've found for it. But I generally think one time a day is plenty enough to get the post out there for your mutuals that haven't seen it yet.
However I also don't really get the point of doing it 5-6 times a day, or setting it up for like, every four hours to be reblogged. It spams the dash and ppl's blogs the way you described. And I have unfollowed ppl too that do it like constantly. Idk if I'd go so far as to call it narcissistic but I do find it funny when it's like a non cc post with like 300+ notes and like four to six hours later the person tzr it, especially if they do it over and over? I don't blame them for it but I kinda encourage ppl not to get into that mindset bc it doesn't seem very fun ya know? It seems stressful in a way. I don't find that kind of behavior narcissistic no, more like it's showing the person's stress or worry that they won't get "enough" notes. Which i don't see as a negative towards them as a person as much as kinda the toxic environment we're all in that makes you feel unworthy or a flop if you don't get notes. It's hard but I think excessive timezone reblogging just winds up doing the opposite for you though as people will wind up getting annoyed and unfollowing. So for general simblr advice I'd say, 1 tzr a day is plenty enough, if that lol. Anything past that is just gonna see diminishing returns and annoyed followers. Do you agree nonny or do you think tzr should be gone entirely? 🤔

that anon is totally off lol I mean there are unhinged people from every section but people who enjoy alysmond like their potential and what they could be and are constantly getting private quote tweeted on twitter for no reason. most of them literally stay in their lane and tons of people who want helaemond are annoyed that alys is a character who is his canon love interest. there’s literally nothing that ties daemyra and them together 💀 she didn’t know him as a kid and there’s also a big likelihood they’ll be casting a younger actress since her age is debated due to the youthfulness she had (which is why people speculated she practiced witchcraft).
disagree. i am on hotd twitter and have been bullied by alysm*nds for no reason. a lot of people in hotd fandom who didn't even read the books didn't know who she was until alysm*nds started making some lame tweets about how "those people's ship will crumble when alys comes on". they're the most antagonistic part of green twt and the green fandom in general so i will have to disagree.
and there is. huge age difference (it's very funny to me that from what i witnessed the alys takes went from "yess give me 40 year old sexy milf" to "i'm sure they'll cast someone young, the maesters were misogynstic"), there is reason to interpret their book relationship as non con to a degree (towards alys), alys stans use the "you're a misogynst if you don't like this character" just as rhaenyra stans do, and not that i disagree but throwing around "aemond is 19 when they meet" sounds exactly like da*myra discourse.
i'm sorry but when it comes to this, the discourse is unhinged. funniest but also most disgusting insult i got was from an alys stan tweeting to their mutual saying i'm being a misogynst ageist towards alys and in the same breath calling me a 30 year old hag who should get a job.
i've been called a number of names and for a while i really did try to scroll past the "not these freaks not shipping aemond with his wife tweets" and "see y'all freaks when alys comes on and your ship crumbles" and "can helaena manic pixie girl dies faster so they stop projecting on her" tweets but i'm also really tired of letting this bs fly.
not to mention the amount of greenies who use "you're secretly team black" and "you're just a da*myra stan undercover" on people who enjoy helaemond.
so no, i do not think they are the victims and i do think they started the discourse around it and until they're not gonna keep each other in check about taunting everyone else, the discourse will never end.
not interested to discuss this further tho! so if you disagree we will have to agree to disagree!

what do you wish your followers would do? i’m just confused bc you’re asking for feedback but scrolling through your blog it seems like people give you kind feedback all the time. plus your posts get over like 800 notes, from reblogs, nice comments and likes.
what is it you’re hoping for from us? what could we say that’ll change the way you’re doing this? bc from what I can see you’re not fishing for compliments you get plenty without asking. are you asking people to get really constructive? or just wanting to gauge the public opinion?
honestly, all i'm looking for is a simple - i've enjoyed it or whatnot. i do receive wonderful feedback, but it is scarce. and just here's an entire essay explaining my view on it lol :
part of my writing insecurity definitely plays a part, and to be brutally honest - i follow so so so so so many amazing writers who are insanely talented and i envy them soo much <333 i wish i had half their talent. and rightfully deserved of course - i often see them receiving a simple 'i enjoyed ....' being sent to their inbox - and i've sent the same to many many writers too!!! but, i don't tend to get a lot of those, and sometimes i realllly get into my head about it. i'm worried that i'm doing something wrong, or my writing is just plain awful.
and i've talked about this to several of my lovely mutuals too - likes only mean so much, you know? like absolutely - likes, reblogs, and feedback are not necessary - but when they are received, it changes the game entirely. it motivates me to write, and especially helps with writer's block. in addition, i have a folder of kind feedback screenshots i've received within the past few months, and i often go back to that in times i just hate what i write. it's kinda tricky to explain, but likes have a vague meaning. don't get me wrong at all, if someone likes a post of mine, that's so incredibly appreciated and again, not necessary. but a like only goes so far, and majority of my notes on fics are simply likes. like what prompted this person to like it? i would love to hear what they liked if anything, but again, it's not necessary. so if someone was open to sharing, i would love to hear - so when asking for feedback, that's what i'm looking for.
also, constantly requests are sent to my inbox, which is AMAZING and i feel so so thankful and grateful to receive so many because y'all are trusting me with your ideas and i genuinely hope i give them the justice they deserve in return - but that's the only thing i get sent. it makes me feel like a machine in a way - like oh people only care about content, me writing their idea and not me as a person? i tend to make mountains out of molehills - but that worries me in a way because it makes me feel like i'm unapproachable? idk. i want my blog to be a place where we can all talk about aaron, about anything, and although i've been active on tumblr for nearly a year, i still feel like a constant outsider. so again, it's probably just my insecurities speaking, but i truly hope i don't come off as unapproachable, because i promise i'm such an easy person to talk to, i care about you all so much, i want my blog and writing to be a safe escape for others, and i just constantly feel lonely on here. i just don't know what to do in that situation i guess, because again i'm always terrified to talk to others or come off as anon because i don't want to be annoying or something of the sort.
i hope that answers your questions, and i hope any fellow writers can relate 🫶🏻
