#so i don't have to stress about sharing it hahahaha

[lunapwrites]

OMH teaser, because I can.

Brief content warning: extreme inebriation that is somewhat masked because it's Remus' POV and he thinks he's talking just fine (he is not) but also very obvious because this entire conversation takes place with him being slung over Owen's shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

(Also I really cannot stress enough how pathetic he is in this. Like wet cat bemoaning his wet state while doing absolutely nothing to rectify the situation or even remove himself from the sink levels of pathetic. Truly I weep for him. However I also can and will make him worse.)

Owen caught him around the midsection, scooping him up again like a stray kitten, and began marching off determinedly in the correct direction. “You think you’re real clever, eh?” “No,” Remus put out petulantly, glaring down Owen’s back once more. “If I was clever, we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with.” “You gonna solve world hunger while you’re at it?” “If I was clever, yes.” “Jesus, Mary and— you’re something else, Lupin, you know that? You really are.” Something in Owen’s tone was sharper than he was accustomed to hearing from the old bear. “You’re angry at me.” “I am.” “I’m sorry.” “Shut up, you don’t even know what you’re apologising for.” “For making you angry.” “Right, see, that’s what I mean,” Owen huffed. “You act like you’re the only person in the whole world who’s ever known suffering, and it’s getting really bloody tiresome.” “I don’t—” “I said shut up,” Owen snapped. “You’ve been doing a lot of talking these last few weeks, and now you’re going to fucking listen.” Remus fell silent.

Like YES KING, TELL HIM THE FUCK OFF. SHAKE HIM LIKE A HALF-EMPTY KETCHUP BOTTLE UNTIL COMMON SENSE COMES OUT.

A lovely mess // CL16

Pairing: Charles Leclerc / Original Female Character

Summary: Four times Charles overreacted to becoming a father and one he actually failed to react. Or Charles being a mess through the best and most scary adventure of his life.

Warnings: None, this is pure wholesomeness.

Author’s Note: This one was inspired by some stories my own dad and uncle told me about the times they had their first children. Yes, some of those stories are based on things my father did when him and my mom were expecting me hahahaha. Rate: PG

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Every man reacts differently to pregnancy, but the most common response is just simply becoming a mess of a human being. And because of that, Charles, for once in his life, could be considerer an average man. He had been exceptional his whole life: excellent student at school, talented in arts, languages and sports, remarkable people skills and loved by everyone. People assumed that he was going to be an exceptional father too, and he knew he was committed to the role since day one, but none of that made the experience less scary. The monegasque had always want kids, he had always pictured himself growing old with a woman he loved and raising a bunch of little humans. When he knocked up his girlfriend he was definitely not planning on becoming a father so soon in his life, but he was happy nonetheless. His history with his girlfriend was kind of complicated too, her family didn't like him much, or more precisely the fact that Charles' job made her travel around the globe, away from her family all the time. He knew that he loved her more than he had ever loved anyone in his life, he knew that every time he pictured himself in the future, that future was shared with her, but it would be a lie if he'd say that the pregnancy didn't complicate things. His in-laws weren't too happy when they found out and Charles' mother was kind of worried about the whole situation. But Charles and his girl loved that little "accident" more than life itself and they actually never cared too much about anyone else's opinions. He convinced his girlfriend to move in with him and she also agreed on keep traveling with him until she ultimately had to stay home for the baby's safety.

"Is six weeks really that bad, Amour? I mean, maybe you're jet lagged or something". Charles nervously wondered from sitting at the bottom of the bed, his girl anxiously pacing around the room.

"That's not how periods work, Charlie". She was trying to stay calm and not bark at him, but that was a difficult task.

"Then let's buy a test and find out". He got up and started walking to the door when she grabbed his arm.

"Wait! You can't just go to a pharmacy and buy a test!". She looked at him like he was insane.

"Why not?". If there was someone humble enough to always forget he's rich and famous, that was Charles.

"Because you're Charles fucking Leclerc, that's why!". She let go of his arm and ran her hand down her face, exasperated. "The press is going to have a field day if you do that".

"Shit, you're right". He sighed and his shoulders sunk. He could see her shaking, scared and stressed and all he wanted to do was give her answers so she could get some peace of mind. "I'm sorry, Amour, I just don't know what to do".

"Let's call Lorenzo, maybe Charlotte can buy it for us".

He watched her take care of everything: call his brother, open the door for him and Charlotte, explain the situation, decide over test brands with his sister in law, drink loads of water, all while he sat on the couch, his mind running faster than he had ever drove his Ferrari. How could she think so clearly even with how scared she was? What would he do if the test was positive? What if she didn't want to keep the baby? Why was he feeling so sad with the mere idea of the test turning up negative? Was he really ready to be a father? There were so many questions and so little answers. He could hear Charlotte walk out the door and his girlfriend go their room, he clearly felt his older brother sit by his side on the couch, but he just couldn't move. Lorenzo said something Charles never caught, too drown inside his own head.

"I really want this baby, Enzo". Was all he let out and his brother just squeezed his shoulder.

Charlotte came back pretty fast, a paper bag with at least five different tests for his girl to do. The older woman explained the younger which ones were more effective so they could compare the results later. The possible future mother lock herself into the bathroom while the other three waited outside. Charles felt like he waited for an eternity before she came out with the five little white sticks. She placed them over a napkin on the coffee table and Lorenzo set the timer. Now, they had to wait again. She was sitting on the same couch he was before, looking at everything but the tests in front of her, so he sat down and took her hand in his, hoping for the contact to be enough to ease her thoughts. He wasn't exactly the epitome of calmness and the sweat that covered his hand made it hard to grip at. She looked at him and smiled, she knew that he was going to be there for them, no matter what, but she was still scared of what he would think, she still needed to know if he really wanted this. Still, she refrained from asking and simply rested her head on his shoulder, searching for comfort on his scent. She had her eyes closed when she suddenly flew to the other side of the couch while Charles' loud yelp filled her ears.

"What the fuck was that?". She looked around, trying to find what could have startled him so much to trow her like that, but all she could see was Charles clumsily trying to grab one of the tests while his feet barely kept him up. She had never seen him so uncoordinated in the two years they had been together. His fingers had a mind of their own and his legs were trembling.

"Two lines, this one has two lines". Charles, who had been quiet and petrified for the past hour, was mumbling like a madman as he showed his brother one of the tests. In the background, the alarm set by Lorenzo started ringing and they all looked down at the coffee table, searching for the lines of truth. Charles grabbed the the tests smiling wide as he showed them to the others. "THEY ALL HAVE TWO LINES". He was hyperventilating, his whole body shaking and Lorenzo couldn't help but let out his loudest laugh as he watched his younger brother loose the little bits of sanity he had. "CAN YOU SEE IT, BABY?!". He shoved the sticks into his girlfriend's face. "It's a baby! We made a baby! Putain de merde! I'm going to be a Papa!".

"Yes, Charlie! I see it!". She said sharing his enthusiasm. But then she saw him go pale really fast. He walked backwards a few steps and Lorenzo caught him from behind before he could fall butt first on the ground.

"Okay, I think you need to process this rollercoaster of emotions while sitting on the couch, Cha". The older Leclerc helped his bother to sit down next to the now confirmed future mama. There, Charles took her hand and smiled, a high-like expression covering his eyes. He may be scared, but he had never been happier.

If Charles' reaction to the pregnancy was that chaotic, it was a sure thing that the following nine months would be as well. Before the first trimester was up, he had already brought another house to move to, where the baby could have their own room and a playroom. He brought every piece of Ferrari merchandizing he could find on the internet, he didn't even care if it was original or not. Was it pretty? Yes. Was it Ferrari? Yes. Then he was buying it. His girlfriend even went to the extent of taking away his cards and threatened with getting rid of wifi to make him stop. He didn't, took her extension in the middle of the night and kept binge-shopping for his baby at 4 am. He brought furniture for the bedroom and the playroom, and then he found his biggest rival till the day. A rival he wanted to beat more than Max Verstappen: a crib. She wasn't even showing and he was already putting a crib together, or let's rephrase it, fighting with the crib and losing pathetically.

"Cela n'a aucun sens". (This makes no sense). He complained while he tried to attach what was supposed to be 'Part B' to 'Part 3.1'. Why there was a part 3.1, he didn't know and was too stress out to try and figure it out. He growled, he literally growled when the whole crib came crushing down in front of him. "Je déteste cette merde". (I hate this shit).

"Charlie? What's wrong? I heard a loud noise". He looked at the mother of his child and all he could feel was embarrassment. "Are you alright?".

"Yes. I'm fine". He answered from the floor, looking at his lap. He wanted to cry, but he also didn't want to upset her.

"Hey, you know you can tell me anything, right?". She sat next to him on the floor and searched for his eyes, but he kept looking away from her. "What is it, Charles?".

"I-". He tried to start talking, but he was cut off by his own sob. She quickly made him turn towards her, looking for injuries, but he seemed to be physically fine. She saw the tears running down his face and did the best she could to wipe the away. Moving to sit on his lap, she threw her arms around his neck and pressed herself flat against him, trying to get as close as she could. He cried on her shoulder, soaking her his hoodie and crushing her with his arms around her waist. They stayed like that for a while, until Charles stopped crying. She scratched his head to calm him down and after some time, he did. In a painfully soft whisper, he admitted his fear to her. "I'm going to be a terrible Papa".

"Don't say that. We both know that's not true". Shushing him, she pulled away and grabbed his face, forcing him to look at her. "Is this about the crib?".

"I've been fighting this crib for four days. Our baby is going to sleep on the floor and it's all my fault". She laughed and for a moment, she regretted it, seeing the hurt in his eyes. She calmed down and pecked his lips.

"Charlie, our baby has barely formed their ears yet, you have more than enough time to figure this out". He didn't look convinced at all.

"But what if I don't?". She smiled at him.

"I know you will. Do you want to know why?". He nodded and she ran her fingers through his hair to move it away from his face, so they could look into each others eyes and make him believe her. "Because you already are the best Papa in the world, Charles".

He won against the crib just in time to catch up with the worst part of the cravings period. They were into the fourth month of pregnancy and the little bump was proudly starting to show. Charles couldn't keep his hands away from it. He was constantly touching the bump, kissing the bump, talking to the bump, even scolding the bump whenever he saw some discomfort tinting his girlfriend's face. In the paddock he practically forced her to go everywhere with him and on interviews he answered every question while looking at her. He insisted on people staying at least ten centimeters away from her and he even took upon himself the task of preparing every meal she ate, just to make sure that it was safe and she didn't get food poisoned. He checked places' and foods' temperatures, chairs' and couches' safety, if her shoes were properly tied (at least 20 times a day), the only thing missing was him wrapping her on bobble wrapping. He safety proofed the every hotel room they stayed in so she wouldn't 'accidentally hit the bump against unknown furniture in the dark'. At some point, she had to put a stop to the madness, specially when Charles' newly-daddy paranoia messed with her cravings.

"Amour, what are you eating?". He asked when he caught her hiding with Lando and Max behind the Red Bull garage, a massive greasy half eaten hot dog on her hands. Lando was opening a mayonnaise sachet with his teeth and Max was feeding her french fries with his bare hands, all three of them sitting on the floor. It wasn't exactly the most sanitary situation, but the fuzzy feeling she felt inside her chest thanks to that hot dog made it all worth it. Charles could swear he had an aneurysm just by the sight of it all. "Where did you get that?".

"Uhm...". Her and Lando looked at Max, waiting for him to answer, since he was the one who brought it.

"Well... It's from a professional, I can assure you that, Charles". The monegasque frowned and Max swallowed, scared, just to find out his mouth was completely dry. He wasn't an easily scared guy, but something about Charles' over-protective-dad mood just terrified him.

"And where's the professional's place? Can you show me?". Max, still sitting on the floor, looked at everything but Charles.

"Oh, you see-".

"It's from the stand outside of the paddock". Lando blurted out, followed by him covering his mouth with both his hands and the three of them heard Charles growl.

"Max did you just feed my pregnant girlfriend a hot dog from a dirty street-stand? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE PERSON WASHES THEIR HANDS-"

"They definitely don't, I mean, they don't have where to".

"Lando, you're not helping me, mate". Max advised, not moving his eyes from the fuming Charles above him. Then the pregnant girl decided to intervene.

"Charlie, babe, it's okay. I asked him to buy it for me". Charles then looked at her, his gaze softening a little, but still angry.

"Amour, you know that's not good for you". He walked to her and hooked his arms under hers to help her off the floor.

"But the baby wanted it". Max still followed Charles, afraid of what the future father could do to him for messing with his unborn baby's diet. Lando stayed very still, hoping to make himself invisible. "I was just craving this so bad! And you never let me have this type of food. The baby is fine, I promise".

"Don't do that face, it's not fair". He complained when she gave him her best puppy eyes. She didn't stop, and he finally dropped the attitude. "Okay, maybe we can make some room for a hot dog once in a while. But you have to keep eating healthy, we don't want the little Tifosi to come out malnourished".

"Yay!". She squealed and hugged him tight, the hot dog almost falling from her hand. Charles hugged her back and then directed his gaze towards the other two drivers.

"And you two". Max and Lando looked at him wide-eyed. "This better be the last time you pull off something like this. Did I make myself clear?".

"Yes, sir". Both said at the same time and got up from the floor.

"Okay, go on. And think about what you did". They nodded their heads, Max handing the girl the fries and then walking away with Lando.

"I like you daddy-voice". Charles shrugged at her comment.

"Amour, don't call it that or I won't be able to use it without laughing".

Charles' paranoia got better. He calmed down a little, but then the fear of being a bad father came back. Around the seventh month, already knowing they were having a boy, Charles found himself with insomniac. At the beginning of the pregnancy he was scared of not knowing what to do to take care of a baby's basic needs: bottle feed, change diapers, help him to sleep, and things like that. But as the date of the delivery got closer, Charles' fears shifted to the more existential type. What if he was unable to guide his son through life? What if he failed on teaching him good values and a strong sense of ethics? What if he ended up raising a spoiled kid, arrogant and narcissistic? What if he couldn't make his boy happy? What if his kid hated him? Those questions kept him up at night, turning over and over on the bed, and cold sweat covering his body. He would walk to the baby's room and look at the painting his girlfriend did on the walls, the name 'Jules' written on lilac on a clear sky, over the race track so carefully crafted. What if his son didn't want to race cars? What if he was forcing him to do so when he wasn't even born? Sitting on the rocking chair, he would look out the window, the yachts at the bay clearly visible from there. What if his son didn't like Monaco? What if his son would rather adopt his mother's nationality and culture over his? The dark sky adorned with shinny little dots would look back at him without answers.

"Charlie? Why are you up, love?". He heard his girl's sleepy voice call out to him from the doorway. He smiled at her, his eyes glossy as he fought the tears that wanted to escape.

"Just thinking, Amour. Don't worry". He gave her his best smile, but she could read his real feelings underneath it. "Go back to bed, I'll join you in a minute".

"I think we love each other enough to cut the bullshit, babe". She walked further into the room and stopped in front of him, her big belly at his face's height, and he couldn't help but reach forward and kiss it. "What is it?"

"It's... it's just a lot and it's late. Don't worry, really-"

"Charles, I'm not sleeping until I'm convinced that you're alright". He sighed, and pulled her to his lap. The weight was a little bit more than what he was used to, but he loved that, it made it impossible for him to overlook the fact that his baby was there, with them. He made her rest her back against his chest and rocked he chair, hugging her tight against him and resting his chin over her shoulder. They both looked out of the window and she patiently waited for him to tell her what was going on inside his mind.

"I'm scared. I feel this huge responsibility over Jules". She smiled, loving whenever they talked about their baby using the name they choose for him. "I just want to be a good Papa, but I'm so scared of messing up, of making the wrong choices, of using the wrong words, of leading him in the wrong direction. What if I don't raise him right? If I'm not a good role model?"

"Well, you're not alone in this, Charlie, I'm with you till the end of the line. Like Bucky and Steve. I know that we'll be alright. I just know it". She sounded so sure of herself. He wished he could be that sure about everything.

"How do you do it? How do you manage to always be so sure and composed?". She laughed and he felt the baby kick under his palm, he always kicked when she laughed.

"I've been the least composed person and you know it, Charlie! I break down crying at least five times a day. You've seen that! You're the one who comforts me every time". He laughed softly, that was true, those had been some pretty crazy seven months. A true rollercoaster of emotions. And they still had two more months to go. "I know that we'll be alright because we're already asking ourselves these questions. Because we care about Jules so much that we truly take time to think things through. We are going to be alright because we love our baby and we both know we will always do the best we can for him. We won't let the bad choices from our parents be repeated and we'll make sure to copy the best from them to give to Jules. That's why I'm so sure". She turned to look at him for a moment. "I trust you to be the dad of my baby because I know how great of a human being you are, Charles".

"I love you". He said, feeling a lot better. He kissed her tenderly, and then another kick was felt under his hand. "Thanks for being here for me, Amour".

"Always, just as you had always been for me". She nuzzled her nose against his. Another kick and they both laughed. "Let's go back to bed, Papa".

The two months passed by in a blink. Charles asked Ferrari to give him a leave of absence for the first two races of the season. He wanted to be world champion, but he would rather be there when his son was born. Ferrari let him take his time, but Jules decided to be born at eight and a half months. It seemed like he couldn't wait to meet his parents, because everything happened so fast that Charles had barely had any time to react. They were having lunch at his mother's house, and he was having the best time. His girl looked amazing, all radiant and happy, her belly covered by a cute but comfortable dress, his sisters in law both touching the belly and fighting for godmother duties. Lorenzo and Charlotte were definitely the chosen ones, but they hadn't tell anyone yet, after all both Lorenzo and Charlotte were there for them when they needed them. His mother was showing him little clothes that she had crocheted for Jules and his brothers discussing which one was going to be the 'responsible uncle' and who the 'funcle'. Arthur was definitely unable to be the responsible one, so he was already chosen to be the 'funcle'. Every conversation was cut short when the faint voice of the future mama rang through the air.

"Charlie". Her shaken voice called out, and he turned around to see what she needed. There was a wet patch under her and she was grabbing her belly, a painful expression on her face. "I think my water broke".

"The baby is coming!". Arthur shouted excitedly, but Charles' brain just stopped functioning. He saw everyone running around to grab things, Charlotte and Carla helping his girl out of the house and towards his car, Lorenzo grabbing the baby bag the carried around just in case since the beginning of the last trimester, Arthur pushing him outside and his mother speaking, but he just couldn't move. H was petrified. He felt like his blood pressure had dropped in a second and if it wasn't for Arthur behind him, he would have certainly fallen to the ground. His mother took his car keys out of his pocket and then they pushed him on the back seat, next to his girlfriend. Her hand crushing his brought him back from his outer-body state and he was able to react, turning to face her and running his other hand down her arm, doing his best to sooth her.

"It's okay, mon amour. Breath, breath with me". He instructed her and he started to exaggerate his breathing so she could copy her. She did and that calmed her down enough to count the seconds between one contraction and the next. "That's it, Amour, you're doing so good". He praised her and she smiled a little, her happy expression cut short by another waive of pain. She screamed and cried, sweat covering her forehead and running down her face, mixing with her tears. It was probably the most messy she had ever looked, but he had never seen her as beautiful as in that moment. "I love you so much". He whispered it, but by the squeeze she gave to his hand, he knew for sure she was saying it back. "We're almost there, hung on a little longer".

He almost carried her out of the car and into the hospital the second Arthur parked the car. Then, they found out that she was ready to deliver in that second. Jules didn't want them to keep him waiting, she was brought to the delivery room and Charles was given surgical gown so he could join her. Inside, the whole process was quick, in 30 minutes, Jules was crying on the doctors arms and Charles could feel his heart skip a beat. Wrapped on towel and with the small hat they had for him on, Jules was passed on to his mother, who took him instantly while she cried her eyes out. Charles, still on delay with reality, was trying to process the information. That was his baby, he was finally there, he could finally touch him. The doctor walked to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, Charles couldn't stop looking at his girl and little Jules. He heard a softly "go ahead, meet your boy", and that was enough for him to place a shaking and gentle hand on Jules' head. He ran his thumb over the soft little cheek and the tears started to fall. He felt his girl's hand wipe away his tears and heard her laugh softly. She just found funny that after overreacting about every little thing for the past eight months, Charles was barely able to react that day. He was a mess in that moment, but he was the perfect mess in her eyes. The most extraordinary mess. He finally smiled and reached down to kiss her head, then he looked at Jules.

"I am your Papa, Jules. I love you. I'm so happy to finally meet you".

[just-a-carrot]

Hi Carrot! I saw the enthusiastic QUAMAII asked "what Orlam's Tumblr blog would look like" last night (for the East Eighth District, the last wave of tumblr replies was in the early morning🤣), I would like to ask

(1) if each Char in OW has Twitter or Tumblr? Will any of them register for these social platforms? 🧐

(2)If someone had these social platforms, what kind of content would they record on it, and how often? Including Hunar, Bucks, Cecil and Jerry.😌

Although in my opinion, Cecil and Jerry, as characters in OW, may not have social platforms?😂 Iggy is relatively insular, but he is developing a game and may occasionally update the progress of the game on Twitter (just like some Garden vegetable😇)? But I'm not so sure about the others,, and that's when I realize I don't know them well enough, which makes me a little guilty...

Seeing the enthusiastic QUAMAII reminds me of myself a month ago. Basically, I prepare one or two ask every day and put it in your question box lol. I think this is because Carrot's OW and other side games are so good, let us feel very immersed in the content shown in the game, and it is not enough, there is a strong desire to drive us to think about the background of these characters and some features of them, and then ask you questions to learn more about the broader content. I think this is what a good piece of work should do, and you did it!🥰

oh gosh this is quite the extensive question HAHAHA hmmm...

Iggy: would be too stressed out by most social media. he probably does have a linkedin though and also a website, since he uses those to get clients. he's not actually actively developing a game -- genzou's just trying to get him to LOL; he has an account on resetera and is more active there than on any social media

Genzou: uses twitter, facebook, and linkedin to advertise his shop. that's already more than enough for him so he doesn't use anything on a personal level

Orlam: has both tumblr and twitter; tumblr would be how i already described in the other ask LOL for twitter, i imagine him being one of those people that mostly lurks but also likes to reply to hit or controversial tweets in such a way that it will make him look "cool" and "smart"...

Gidget: uses twitter, instagram, and linkedin, and also has their own website, using all of them to promote their modeling stuff

Bucks: uses twitter and only uses it to reblog shit posts and post really weird and random tweets that make no sense in context

Hunar: uses twitter and linkedin very professionally, mostly twitter in the writing community, trying to connect with other writers and commiserate with people on their writing and agent woes

CECIL AND JERRY CAN'T HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS??? there's no social media in wonderland...

i guess if they did jerry's would be all about promoting rebellion HAHAHAHA. cecil's would be like... sharing classical music playlists and fine dining tips LOL

Hey! Can I ask request 6, 11 & 14 for Wringing Blood from A Stone? ^^

well hey yourself!!! oooh, you know i'm always more than happy to rant and rave about those crazy ol' hacketts... ;)c hehehe

6. Does this chapter/fic have any twists that you’re proud of?

this upcoming chapter, no; the fic itself, yesss. i won't get into them specifically, obviously, but one of the things i'm really trying to capture the most in this fic is just...the nature of the hacketts being a family. like an actual-factual (obviously exaggerated) family, complete with all the tangles and snares any real family has. you guys already know what supernatural stuff is on its way, and the extra supernatural stuff i'm throwing in there, i think you can probably draw some conclusions about too, but there are for sure a few family-based twists i'm very, very, very excited to reveal in due time.

twists that - i very much hope - won't end up coming out of left field, but will make horrible, horrible sense in retrospect ;)c

11. What scene are you most hyped for this chapter/fic?

for the upcoming chapter, i'm super hyped for one caleb & kaylee interaction in particular. there's so much dysfunction in the family, and lord knows the interactions with the hackett brothers themselves can sometimes feel a little less than friendly, so i really relish in writing caleb and kaylee sort of being besties first and siblings second. plus, we might just get a peek at caleb's wolf story............

in terms of scenes i'm most hype for across the whole fic, GOD HELP ME. there are. a lot coming up. so here are some out of context spoilers for scenes i'm very excited to get to: a big ol' family brunch gone wrong; old men fighting, parts 1 and 2; jack eats the world's sloppiest sloppy joe; the worst damn church service you've ever seen; and they're all gonna laugh at you. genuinely, there are........so many pieces of this story i just cannot wait to share, and i wish i could just pop my head open and shake the words out like loose change aslkdjfalskdjf

14. What have you been finding frustrating with writing this chapter/fic?

alas, as happened when i was writing the (almost)s, and what i think is probably the case with most longfics in general, like wringing blood has become a very personal project that's sort of reflective of some family stuff i'm going through currently. on the one hand, that's super therapeutic, because it's a place where i can channel a lot of my emotions and frustrations and hopes and disappointments about my own family in a way i can control...but on the other hand, the reason i've suddenly gotten so slow with updating is because my family stuff does suck currently, it is sucking up a lot of my energy and sanity, and when i have a break from them, the idea of jumping into sharing my brain with the hacketts isn't, uh, immediately welcoming, let's say XD

which leads to a SECONDARY frustration, of course: i'm so, so, so, so, SO excited for this story, there's nothing i want more than to get it all to paper and SHARE, but i'm in a spot right now where things are slowed and sort of gunked-up. i can't stress enough how i have. every. major. beat. of this story plotted out, i have about 90% of it outlined in VIVID detail, i know EXACTLY what's going to happen in every chapter until the end, i have an embarrassing amount of it already written, but man. ya gurl is tired. so wanting to get everything out into the world but knowing i don't have the brainspace for it atm is also incredibly frustrating, but i'm very much hoping once the holidays have passed, maybe - MAYBE!!!!!!!!! - things over here will chill out and i can spend a little less time with my bonkers appalachian family and a little more time with theirs hahahaha!

wips, wips, wips, ask me about some wips!!!

Hunger Games x FlintWood Au

Welcome back to telling my ideas I had for this fic so I don't keep them bottled up and if anyone wants to play with this I'm more than happy.

To recap we are in part 2 of all this and part 1 can be found below by clicking on part 1.

Part.1: Marcus (his first games and how he met Oliver as well as their development while participating in the games for his sister)

Part 2: Daphne (On her attempt to get out as a district escort in the ministry) — here

Part 3: Adrian (In his development in the last games that i had planned for the story, before the fall of the ministry)

Part 2.

Actually for part 2 I have several ideas but maybe not as well formulated as part 1 since it's the middle of the fic but I'll try not to go in circles.

Well in FlintWood terms for the second part it was mostly their development, and initial life in the ministry, Marcus and Oliver after the games are over they hate each other to no end, most of their development is around when they finally share a place again which is on the victory tour, because they both don't even want to see each other in a picture.

A plus for the whole thing that happened in they games and thanks for Oliver's show there were two winners, Oliver's parents are killed in an "accidental" fire in his house about two days after he returns to his district.

There's not much to tell my ideas of the victory tour other than being from different districts, they both had to make it very clear that none of it was propaganda for the districts to unite against the Ministry, not in that literal way but you get the point.

Obviously in the opposite districts of each one they don't let the other one Marcus goes to district 4 to make the speech (which being alone he says that he doesn't regret anything of what he did against Demelza) while Oliver gives his speech in district 7 (which the sentimentality wins him because he didn't want to do anything against Amelia and he apologizes to Marcus' mother).

It's a show because now Katie and Daphne work together, Daphne gets stressed because they don't know where to have the last celebration if in district 6 or 4, fights between everyone and extra stuff, ahhh there's only one bed trop hahahaha and more.

And moving on to the ministry stuff going back to the end of the first part, after it was announced that both Marcus and Oliver had won Daphne was upset, she goes to tell her truths to Percy and Katie thinking that it was something they had planned and that if so they had all just got themselves into big trouble as there have never been two winners in the games, obviously everyone looks worried but the most desperate in this matter is Daphne and Katie.

Both are called in by Tom Ryddle in which he is given the opportunity to tell them if they both had a plan in mind to make them both winners and they both deny everything, and while he believes Daphne by not doing anything to her, he does not believe Katie by torturing her right there and then.

Katie has a necklace similar to the Muggles (who are literally the slaves and servants of the place, who have no word) and that is beacuse the truth is that she is not part of the ministry, her parents and herself were from district six (she know's Leanne and Leanne know her) she will be about four years old when her parents did something and were captured to work as muggles in the Ministry.

The plan was to let Katie as an orphan but they saw potential in her being pretty enough and maybe she could serve, so when she was old enough about two years after Daphne start to work i'm they Ministry they put her to work as an escort but of course without pay and she actually lives day to day.

Katie is given an ultimatum and just gets the hell out of the place, shady stuff between Tom Riddle and Daphne and the reason why i have in the fic THAT tags

A life that Daphne doesn't get used to and really doesn't want, but thanks to Theo who in fact many people are forbidden to get too close to Daphne and one of them is Theo for a few circumstances, she soport that treat.

Obviously they both love each other but can't show it because of the position Daphne is in and that literally looking for a steady partner would surely be branded a betrayal of the ministry itself (Tom Ryddle) and the games.

Back to the districts.

After what is that Marcus recovers because he was badly injured in the games, he returns to the district with his mother which begins to have a little closer contact as they are both the only ones who have each other, the victory tour in which Marcus' own mother tells him that at least Oliver is cute and Marcus may be having a good time faking a romance that is not going at all well.

There starts to be family closeness and a bond between what is Daphne and Marcus, Daphne worries about him and decides again not to change district, that is also because she has always been right there for Adrian but now for Marcus and the problems start because between Marcus and Oliver they start to divide the dealings towards each of them by the ministry.

Both are winners, so Oliver is being treated as what he is, a winner and whom the ministry wants to turn into a hallow doing dirty little jobs ignoring the fact of the romance he has with Marcus because he is pretty (Come on Marcus shared) but strangely enough Marcus does not start to be treated like that, he starts to be included as someone important in the ministry, almost like what Lucius Malfoy had a hard time doing and of course implemented with his son now.

Right, more character introductions in all this journey

Terence Higgs: My pretty pretty boy Terence, habitant of district seven and Adrian's partner, as well as Adrian's emotional counselor, Marcus holds him in high esteem and so does Daphne.

Graham Montague: Marcus's friend, a year older than Adrian and whose turn it is to participate in the 96th games.

Alicia Spinnet: Mentor of District 11, too overbearing for Marcus' liking but seems to get along very well with Oliver as he goes into his first year as a mentor.

Angelina Johnson: Stylist of district 10, has a love hate relationship with Lucian Bole and hates Marcus but loves Katie and Oliver together, hates Percy the same way and calls him a bore.

Lucius Malfoy: Winner of District 1, clearly Death Eater Marcus hates him because somehow he always ends up talking to him.

Draco Malfoy: Winner of district 1 like his father, Marcus tolerates him, he seems to have a great friendship with Blaise and of the Malfoy's he is the only one that Astoria and Daphne like, Marcus makes fun of the little looks he has with Harry.

Harry Potter: The lucky boy who survived from district 9, literally that's his nickname since he was supposed to be left for dead in the games but in the end he appeared as alive, being the first mistake presented in the games, in the end he won but the ministry went against him and killed his parents.

Pansy Parkinson: A distant cousin of Marcus, Marcus never really cared enough about his mother having a sister who left for District 1 after she won the games to marry another winner there.

Tracey Davis: Stylist of district 2, very close friend of Theodore Nott, she doesn't get along very well with Daphne but yes with Astoria.

Joanne Selwyn: A rather quiet girl whom Adrian has known for years, she ends up being a tribute at the 77th games.

Clearly for Daphne and Marcus it is something strange because although they think they treat him like hallow they do not make Marcus do jobs as Oliver who truly by his appearance becomes one of the new favorites of the ministry.

It stops working for them the lovers joke because they try to make everyone take a position and Marcus doesn't like the position they are putting him in and much less his mother who obviously knows why they are doing all that.

In all this plot we know about Marcus dad who is actually not someone from the districts but someone from the ministry.

A backstory to Marcus's mother.

In Marcus's district there have been several winners but most have been older and many years ago, the last winner before Marcus's mother participated in the games died leaving district 7 without a mentor, when something like that happens and the Ministry trying to be fair, is assigned someone from the ministry as a mentor for the tribute who will participate, if it lasts a while the mentor is not repeated and each year is someone different.

When Eleanore Shafiq (Marcus's mother) participates clearly her mentor ends up being Thaddeus Flint (Marcus' father) one of Tom Ryddle's closest friends, both fall in love or more than anything Thaddeus falls in love with her and does everything he can to make Eleanore survive.

He succeeds and it clearly does not happen instantly but what Thaddeus seeks is to leave the ministry to go with Eleanore to the districts and live a "quiet" life at that time if a winner had children, the kid could also skip the reaping, a rule that was discarded two years before Marcus reached the minimum age to participate in his first reaping.

Thaddeus actually did manage to leave the ministry but not entirely, he still had to return to settle certain family "matters" more than anything else and that is why he always returned to the ministry whenever Eleanore go to be a mentor.

Here the Death Eaters do exist and clearly they are the people closest to Tom Ryddle and in this case they may even be winners but it is very rare to see it, so thee problem of Thaddeus being gone is that he left incomplete a personal circle that Tom Ryddle had and in short he was left without one more servant, that's why Marcus being a winner and having access to the ministry fit like a glove to Tom Ryddle to fill that space he was missing and in short to have one more asshole working for him.

All this is discovered long after Marcus gets his first turn to be a mentor (surprise Montague gets his turn to be a tribute and wins).

Obviously as all these problems begin start to create a closer intra-personal bond between Daphne, Marcus and Adrian.

When Daphne learn that Thaddeus Flint managed to leave the ministry for someone he loves, is armed with heat to ask leave from working for the games to be with Theo so that both can live a relatively "quiet" life because she's not leaving the ministry completely but would go step by step.

She asks Tom Ryddle with the faith of a thousand gods after planning very well for a resolution to any roadblock that gets in her way and asks for his resignation from Tom Ryddle himself saying that she will take care of finding someone just as competent for the job and won't even notice his lack once she finds her, even telling him that she will explain everything and no one will have to bother with that problem but her.

Odd as it sounds for Daphne this one agrees and my little girl is very happy to see at least an open window of getting away from things.

But clearly it would not be so easy.

Marcus and Oliver's games were the 95th games, Gramham wins the 96th games (in which here the rule was changed that it is a man and a woman and they start to combine the genders and they can be anyone, one man and one woman, two men or two women) and thanks to the fact that the 100th games are near it is announced that there will be some slight changes and surprises in some details before the so expected 100th games.

In the end Daphne doesn't have to choose who will replace her, but she is told that she will be assigned to someone and her job will be to train her, she finds it strange but accepts thinking that maybe after the games she will have to train someone, but in the reaping her surprise is when she finds her father in the district and more than anything with Astoria in the place.

Astoria tells her that she doesn't know why she is there and her father (who is also close to Tom Ryddle) tells Daphne about the slight changes there will be for the harvest because of the countdown to the 100th games.

The surprise for that game is that apart from the urn of the districts, there is going to be a special urn with other names of people specifically chosen for some characteristic (pure redheads, pure blondes, only people who live in a detailed area of the district, only people who live in a specific area of the district, etc), In this case in this second ballot box only the people from the same district will know who they are, but those from the ministry and the other districts will not know who they are, making them a surprise tribute for the TV, they will not show their face, their name will not be shown, but their voice will be shown and they will be called by a nickname.

For Daphne it's kind of weird because it's nothing like what she knows they had been planning for the 97th games and because it's sound silly and very complicated to do for some simple games but she decides not to fight about it and pay attention to the explanation.

The problem comes when it seems that Astoria's presence is to draw the names of the reaping, leaving Daphne on the side and and obviously the surprise is that Daphne's name comes out.

Which is not his name for confidentiality, but a nickname that Daphne knows that only Tom Ryddle says to her.

Daphne laughs nervously believing that it is a joke and she has to cross in the middle to read the paper on her own and desperate to see that its true she throws away the paper and looks for another name several times realizing that all the names of the special urn are hers.

Daphen's fight is no longer televised and at that very moment she starts to tell her father that how could he do this, that they could not do it because she is a citizen of the ministry and not of the districts and he coldly, rudely and without caring about his daughter tells her that she brought it on herself for trying to leave and that she does not know how angry Tom Ryddle is for that.

Marcus and Adrian are obviously surprised, Marcus promises Daphne that he will not let her die but obviously Daphne understands the plan of why they put her in and for her it would be better to die, because if she survives now she would be completely turned into a hallow and would never be able to escape from the ministry but Marcus tells her that this is something that will be arranged later but what Daphne must think now is to survive, literally worth her other tribute which is a girl named Joanne Selwyn, and she is also surprised that someone from the ministry is a tribute but she doesn't comment anything about it.

On the way to the ministry Marcus realizes that one of the tributes from Oliver's district is Ginny Weasley and Marcus realizes that Oliver is also going to do everything he can to keep his best friend's sister from dying.

Obviously Theo finds out what is going on and leaves his place in district 1 to change to district 7 saying that he will be in charge of dressing Daphne, nobody important but the mentors know that Daphne is participating in the games, comments that she won it and things like that are irrelevant.

Passive aggressive interviews between Daphne and Rita Skeeter beacuse Daphne has hated her for a long time and she finally dropped her mouth in the interview.

Marcus trains Daphne, a small friendship between Joanne and Daphne where clearly Joanne is not bothered by all the attention being given to the blonde some very beautiful moments and emotional conversations between Theo and Daphne in which Theo tells her that there shouldn't have been all that for him but for herself, which leaves Daphne thinking a lot.

Daphne scared by the fact that Astoria is now being used as an escort for the tributes and not as a stylist which is why her little sister had gotten into the games.

And my recommendation was to not get attached to anyone hahaha

Daphne who clearly cannot be accompanied by her mentors to the games is accompanied by Theo and yes, Theo is killed in front of Daphne in which she is sent to the arena leaving Daphne devastated and shocked because literally the person she loved the most and why she is in the games right now just died as a message that she will never really get what she wants.

I've already gone on too long, but let's go quickly.

When Daphne comes out she realizes that the arena of those games ends up being a lake, almost without any land except the cornocopia which is a small island in the middle with a tree, but everything else seems to be just water (jiji the black lake reference).

Marcus is confused because they decided to make the arena that way since they are not supposed to put something similar anymore because not all tributes know how to swim and die fast and Adrian tells him that for sure Tom Ryddle's plan is that these games don't last long thinking about Daphne.

There is not much to tell from the ministry's side only that Marcus has a hard time finding sponsors because apparently no one despite being with more fans after the interviews no one wants to sponsor Daphne (actually everyone was warned not to sponsor her) Blaise ends up being her anonymous sponsor most of the time.

Oh and that Oliver looks a lot more nervous in Marcus's view and Marcus doesn't know why.

Fast forward back to the games, not much interesting to see why they go fast as planned, Daphne traumas, dehydration does its job, hallucinations with Theo and my girl just needs a break.

The important thing that happens in the games is that aside from Joanne dying and Daphne suffering her death as well, Daphne ends up in an alliance with Ginny for most of the games.

Relatively all goes well with that alliance (my favorite wlw) Daphne doesn't really trust Ginny but you can tell she's good at fighting and possibly her only chance to survive, they both become kind of weird "friends" but the most striking thing that happens is when they're both left in the end.

Haha here if there is no drama and starts a fight to the death between Daphne and Ginny in a curiously well positioned place where you can't see Daphne's face very well (because let's remember that the ministry doesn't know who she is) and at the end Ginny ends up drowning Daphne in the lake making Ginny Weasley the winner of the 97th games

And that's they end of Daphne Greengrass🥰

No, it's not true she is still alive but I'll save it for part three because I'm already too long here.

[covenofwives]

Eeeeeeeee ik my questions tend to be very detailed so im so glad you like them like that. I'm a world building fanatic and also make aus so i get wayyy too into all the small things hahaha

The languages!!! Omg I freaking LOVE THAT?! That's so freaking interesting and makes so much sense aaaaaa! It's so freaking cooool all the different languages unique to this au, I am specifically looking so hard at the fea language I'm geeking out over it ahfkdbksn. Are there languages in this au that are the same in our world? ie: Spanish, French Japanese, ect.?

Rn I'm slowly catching up on all the lore I've missed while being on hiatus so if I make comments or ask stuff that's already been answered sorryyyy

Each of the gods clearly have their own set of powers (in which i am still trying to catch up on and figure out what's been revealed so far ahfknsjs) so what would you say is each is their favorite? Either to show off, convenience, entertainment, ect. Question 2: are there any powers that the gods share? Or are they all unique?

(bonus question would you consider XD babygirl? I believe they are babygirl 😤)

I sent a whole novel I'm so sorry I should really spread these out more hahahaha

-emmadoodlewrites

Please don't apologise for how long these are. I truly love them!

Definitely there are other languages in the AU since we have characters like Quackity who is very open about his Spanish language. I would say that where the SMP is on the world map would be more english speaking but there are more languages out the world. It is quite hard to grasp though because so many times I've wanted to write c!George being described with his british accent but then remembering that britain wouldn't really exist on the SMP and having to scrap it. Things are still being ironed out, but absolutely there are other languages.

Don't worry about asking questions that might have been answered before or not, I don't mind answering the same questions again and again especially since I don't really have a spot to keep all of the info so it can get confusing. ^^

As for God powers, there are definitely powers shared between Gods and some unique to each one. For instants all Gods have the ability to spawn in items from their realm when they need and most of the Gods can shapeshift to alter their form, either to their "human" form, true form or taking on a new form entirely for one reason or another. While all Gods have the ability for it, it does depend on their skill for it. Some Gods might not shapeshift at all and lose the ability how to, having to relearn. And certain powers can be taught between the Gods. Take for example XD, they are the God of the End but came to the Overworld to live. While they can spawn in what they need from the End Realm, their time living in the Overworld and learning has adapted them to spawn in items from the Overworld too, and can manipulate and terraform the Overworld. These powers obviously got much better after he was blessed by HD (which I did a little comic showing) but they learned the power on their own at first and developed it because it was the environment they were in.

For FAVOURITE powers I think 4K's is definitely his lava manipulation. It can help in combat situations of keeping enemies away and blocking areas as well as him using it for his little harmless lava blob to be a stress reliever (mostly to give out tickles). HD's would definitely be his helper hands powers since it's so convenient for him to use and he can be pampered without moving, but he used to have a power of connecting with everything in the Overworld. Literally EVERYTHING. Every tree, blade of grass, mountain, cave, he could connect and see it all and it was his favourite to use to check up on the Overworld and see everything going on. However the power drained him of energy so much that it's lead to his almost narcolepsy sleep states and since cutting himself off from the Overworld he no longer uses it. XD's favourite power is probably creation/spawning. XD's a very creative soul who loves making things for show off to mortals and Gods and he uses his powers to help enhance that. One of his favourite creations is the tickle dolls which he just loves to show off to mortals and make them play games and bets to get them. Really any power that can be used to play games or make games for mortals is his favourite.

generational curse

Health = Wealth

I came across a reel saying that the new generational wealth is anchored on the intangibles more than ever.

Wealth is always about convenience rooted on maintaining your overall health stats. This perspective boils down to my trauma response which is what I'm trying to recover from, finally.

However, it is also true that when money is the main character, chances are greed and a certain level of uncertainty tend to be more complicated to say the least.

However, let's talk about the generational curse. I chanced upon this years ago and it has nothing to do with the KULAM era which is highly debatable and infamous.

I'd like to see this from families who experienced traumas that they didn't process because survival is primordial. Some say that these pains travel from generation to generation. There have been studies where children who are suffering from health-related conditions came from families who have undergone major stressors. When E was still inside A's womb, T, his hubby and my cousin made sure that all A did was to be at her best as a soon-to-be mom. Ending: E is my legit Gen Alpha Babe 01. Hihihihihi. Sorry na lang kay McQueen, #2 siya kasi nauna maborn si E. 'Yun lang 'yun. And it's E who showed me that through it all, there's that thing called TL. EMYYY. Kadire.

One thing that stands out for me in as far as generational curse is concerned is that it needs to be processed. This means families must face it to own it and conquer it. Our generation, the new and aging breed seems to be caught in the middle, always.

How can you actually process pain that is handed down to you? How can you deal with the suffering that you feel but not entirely know about?

Easier said than done, however, as I explore this as a black sheep of our crazy clan, I can somehow share my shit farts about this. I guess it's about talking about it and have active listening on the table. It's not easy to engage with boomers like my dad, but, I feel lighter and a bit better, surprisingly. Maybe it's called reparenting. Maybe it's called circling back to the inner child, or in my case, to the inner children with crazy voices. Maybe, just maybe, it's all about naming things out loud instead of just shutting them down.

Funny how my dad teased me yet again. Lakas ko raw sa clan namin. Me: Jusko. Ako na naman e wala nga akong ginagawa except 'pag may kailangan talagang gawin. I don't reply in our big GCs kasi. I usually see messages later as well unless may need talaga and important. I came to ina's house last weekend, day trip lang because I really can't stay overnight. One, the house is super hollow. Two, I need to be back in Manila talaga. Three, ayokong mag-spiral kasi alam ko naman na trigger ko.

And, poof! My cousin who was already on the way back to Manila went back. Then we had updates regarding The B event I'm helping with. Ending: Almost perfect attendance na for each family na rep because we the mid class. Hahahaha. Shemayyyymhieee.

The mom of my cousin thanked me kasi nag-yes anak niya so matic free na expenses niya for this B event. LELS. Anyhow, I really hope that the weather will be sooooo good since kasado na this one. Hihihihihi. We got ALL the venues/locations that we want and need. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I was trying to appease kasi na previously, we're given basic options. However, as an overthinker na naman, sabi ko shemayyyy. Kelangan sobrang safe flights lahat kasi if not, lagas lahi namin. Hahahahaha. OPA-Q. Ang aga-aga, 'yun nasa isip ko 'di ba?

It's not about flying because I like flying naman. Stress lang din siguro ako kasi first time na may palipad emyyyy ang clan namin tapos dream destination ko pa at may event pa. FUCKKKKK. Ang hirap kasi may benchmark na tapos happy lang ako kasi bitbit ko si MatchaME with cameo appearance pa siya ihhhh. LELS.

Again, akala mo naman kung saang lupalop na shala ano? I guess eto rin kasi 'yung pang-new chapter era ng buong angkan because losing my dear ina is fuckkkinngg fucked up.

Wala ng uuwian 'pag Pasko. Wala ng birthday lapag agad after New Year. Even when I'm not a fan of traditions and gatherings, iba talaga. The pain stabs you like a thief. 'Yung oks ka naman na talaga, alam mong mas okay 'tong reality na 'to kesa andito siya but she's in deep pain. Pero, at the same time, you long for her presence.

HUY. Kaya naman, I say, this pain is not gonna be put to waste. Not anymore. HUY. LUH. Goal is for the simple yet sapul life kahit ang hirap talaga mhieeee. Let's go! G.

Side Note: Still over the moon sa answered prayer na 2018 ko pa nilapag. Again, not my story to tell kasi 'di naman akin 'tong prayer request na malala na 'to. Andami kong iyak at gigil at warla mode dito na maraming beses kong tinago para mukha akong strong na strong. LUL. Pero, ayun na nga. All in the perfect timing talaga.

Prayer #2 ano na? CHAZZZZ. Hahahaha. Sumasakit dibdib ko sa prayer na 'to kasi naman 'di na 'to biro. Seryoso na 'to. SHEMYYYY.

life in medicine

I didn't know studying medicine makes you lonely even more. Have my family forgotten about me already? huuhuhuhuhuh Might as well add the broke part here. By the way, class started already rawr. What a ride? 2 weeks felt like 3 months worth of stress due to hectic sched and whatnots. But let us not all be negative, I think I found my people in med. Those people that will be there and makes you laugh even if you're stressed. Those people that made sure you didn't spend a time alone in school. no reviews just talk and bardagulan. I hope we can graduate at the same time cause I also want them to be my colleagues soon after.

I also think I'll be active here now. Cause I have no one to talk to. How ironic that I'm surrounded with amazing people yet I still felt so lonely. Especially when I'm already back in my room. :// OA chenesm na sad ta. Bitaw I hope I can share my deep thoughts to someone I trust. different jud bitaw ang college ug graduate school. In college I have someone man to rant with but now na MIA naman ang igat and now, I also don't want to be a burden anymore. Gosh I'm already 26 and I still have my black dog with me HAHAHAH

Anyways this is the only thing I can share now hahahaha

Good luck to me in the coming days "winter is coming"

byeeee :??

Your writing IS worthy all the lovely feedback and interactions! But yeah I know what you mean lol

I honestly do think we share at LEAST one cell bc it's WILD the amount of similarities but ngl i love that for us lol And honesty writing it out is very therapeutic and Im glad your blog is a safe outlet for you!❤️Mine is just my notes app and it's really SOMETHING. So if you ever need inspiration just ask for a screenshot of my notes bestie 🤪

Omg no it's not lazy writing! It's like your signature and it's so sweet and it truly would not be a Sam story without it! I love it! The names were so cute and honestly idk Italian but Im sure those words aren't to hard to mess up! I wish I could help but sadly I am a spanish speaking girlie so I am no help lol

With or without makeup bestie I am sure you were GLOWING!!! Also what book were you reading, did you like it?! An no pressure on part 2, you deserve some rest!

And studying is HELL rn but it will be okay hopefully lol Thank you for constantly being so nice, I really do always love talking to you!- 💜

OMG SHOW ME THE NOTES. I always need inspo.

Oh stop lol I have a really bad skin routine (soap and water HAHAHAHA) so I feel like my skin is pale and gray all the time. Not much glow around here 🤣

That's cool you speak Spanish! I am lame af and my only language is English (and I'm still pretty bad at speaking it). I have a student who speaks only Spanish and god BLESS I teach math because I am already driving the struggle bus and sitting with Google Translate out only for me to find out that "multiply" is just "multiplicar" like how embarrassing 🙃

The book was fine but I was STRESSED. I read it in two days because I was all stressed out about how the author was going to fix the mess she made. It's called "Lesson Learned." I saw it on TikTok because it's about teachers so I had to. (It was actually a little like my Made to Be series and crossed with Love and Dryer Sheets. But I wanted it to be more like Made to Be but ended up being more like Love and Dryer Sheets--hence the STRESS). But it's the first book I've read since September after doing a record of like...idk 15 books over the summer (that's when I actually have time to read). So it was good but I'm hoping the next book I read is a little more on the lovey-dovey side of things and less stressful.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? What are you studying? Have you always lived on the West Coast or are you just going to school out there? Just want to get to know you more! 💕

xoxo

saw ur post bc i was checking out the project sekai x reader tag HAHAHAHA hope ur doing well, don't stress yourself out with requests and take your time, besides that, how about general relationship headcanons with akito..?? 😳😳😳 remember what i said earlier before you do the request, (take ur time!) grrrr 🐒🐒🐒🐒

'' oh cupid walks right through ! ,,

- akito shinonome x reader

a/n : thanks, and i’ve taken my time (i swear) i hope i did this right, and enjoy! hopefully i didn’t write so short. might add on to this if i get more stuff

warnings : really cringe. (may someone bless me i’m going to SOB) at the end there is some kissy kissy stuff but it’s not steamy. 

style : hc style (bullets)

- alright. listen to me. this man CLEARLY loves you. he’d do the most obvious things to show that he’s dating you.

- he’s like a puppy who clings onto you everywhere...crazy how you’re not sick of him (/hj)

- as we all know...akito would definitely get jealous whenever he sees someone talking to you. he’d hug you over the shoulder and be like “who’s this?” that someone is gone the second they see him.

- naw, akito is literally so protective over you. there’s no evidence needed to prove it because it’s real (/hj)

- you and akito go on monthly or weekly pancake/cheesecake dates, akito would get whatever you get (unless there’s something special in the shop he really wants)

- he gets cheesecake take-out only for you on special occasions (he knows your favorites)

- you two have a spotify playlist of eachother, or a shared spotify playlist. it’s really sweet!

- akito would sing songs that are dedicated to you <3 probably only touya knows what it means

- eventually, VBS knows something is up between you two, so eventually akito had to spill...

- in fact, he was REALLY bashful when he announced it to VBS...an definitely teased him for the entire week. (don’t worry, VBS supports you both and cheers you guys on!)

akito : alright, i’ll tell you. me and s/o are-

an : your WHAT?!

- akito isn’t a fan of PDA, but at the least he’ll accept hugs and hand holding. cuddles, kisses, and other things would come in private.

- though, if you do hold hands, sometimes you might get a glimpse of him blushing (if you squint)

- he’d be so sweet in private, from hand holding to kisses...

- a sucker for kisses on the cheeks and forehead, if your lucky you’ll probably see him flustered or he’d giggle a little bit.

- his love language would be acts of service + physical touch (though that’s if you squint REALLY hard x2)

- he wouldn’t know love very well, so he’s learning to love with you. his kisses are pretty rough and passionate at the start, slowly as time passes, his kisses become softer and loving. 

- i kid you not, he definitely cups your face when you guys kiss.

- you and him are unstoppable together, and always will be <3

[wellthatwasaletdown]

LOL what a day! First, I found this real time gem from one of clown’s fans. TW: buttlicker behavior.

“you can see him working his heart out to make it as a vocalist. Then as a songwriter. A dancer. An artist.”

Hahahaha a dancer - Harry stole Mick Jagger and Mr. Bean’s moves! I wonder why they left out actor. I guess someone’s been reading this blog loools.

—————-

Then this other bit from a different blog about Harries digging up old tweets from 10 years ago. Sorry idk how to ss. So many good points:

His fans are grasping at straws to defend him these days. It must be getting harder tho because they’re having to go back 10 years to find stuff on his former bandmates to criticize.

I just saw reblogs of harries doing ‘research’ and posting tweets from 2012 - they’re of course maligning his former bandmates because there is no defense to the shit Harrys been doing. When will they get it that gaslighting, distracting and lying isn’t going to make the shitty things he does disappear?

Like he broke up a family and harries be like Louis and Liam poured water onstage in 2013. Harrys not bald, its Liam who doesn’t have a career. Harrys tickets are so expensive and tee hee they’re in debt, don’t blame Harry, he sold the most records, besides Niall is fat (wtf)

I’m trying to find a nice way of saying they are fucking stupid and blind but I think it’s impossible. When will they get a clue? Do they share one brain cell and they take turns using it?

***

sorry but this made me lmao

the stress they gotta be feeling to dig through like louis or liam's tweets from like 2013 trying to find some dirt or something controversial to hate on them for. why don't we do the same for harry? revisit his maggie thatcher tweet? that racist appropriation of indigenous headgear he never apologized for? that time he celebrated the bombing of palestine by waving an israeli war hammer? the way he would treat his girlfriends back then, the way he'd treat his supposed friends? that time they got pranked with a pregnant lady giving birth and harry revealed the only reason he'd acted so sympathetic and concerned was because they were filming him?

they think that harry getting rich off them is a good thing, but want to also pretend he's a socialist who cares about the little guy. he doesn't even care about his own fans.

Don't have an active blog so I'll just have to share my degrees here lol! I have a BA in psychology with a minor in English, and an MA in School and Community Psychology. I'm currently pursuing a PsyD. Technically I have an AA in Liberal Arts, but that's just because I did my first two years of undergrad at a community college to save money (which is honestly my number one tip for new college students!!). The second tip is not to stress too much about degrees. When I first became a Larry, I was still a high school dropout. Life is messy and hard and there are a million ways to rise in the world! College may or may not be one of the right paths for you. Anyway, I can't really say my line of work has given me any special insight into Larry clues, but my encyclopedic knowledge of the 1D boys has certainly helped me build rapport with plenty of nervous middle schoolers! Surprisingly, just as many 14-year-old boys as girls are impressed!

Hahahaha! I love it. Thank you so much for chiming in. I love how diverse our larrie knowledge is.

[ruki--mukami]

🎀 ADMIN SPEAKS 🎀

Where do I even begin? HAHAHA! Well first, thank you for humoring me by accepting my ask when I first started DL roleplay. You were the very first DL blog I ever interacted with and you're the blog that inspired me to start a DL OC blog. Though I admit that my very first actions were impulsively done since I made the picrews of Lukas and Kai on the spot, and sent it to you the moment it was made. I can see how that was very confusing. HAHAHAHA!

Your blog was also what brought back the spark of motivation to roleplay again. And for that, I cannot thank you enough.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT! Your portrayal of Ruki is by far the best I've ever seen. You don't hold back and you're always in character. The way you play Ruki is such a huge contrast to who you are as a person. When I first saw your Admin speech, I was so shocked that such a bright person can play this cold Vampire so well. From there, I can tell how much of a great writer you are. To be able to portray Ruki's cold demeanor and sadistic personality so well, while maintaining a cool aura was so perfectly executed!

But I suppose my words may not mean so much as I've revealed to you that I only know DL through reading the wikipedia and has never once delved into the anime, manga, and the game! So I probably don't know Ruki's character that well to say much about your portrayal. I cannot say if it's accurate or out of character, but from what I can tell, as the Wiki guy, your characterization fits perfectly to what I envision Ruki to be. I can tell just how much work you put into perfecting Ruki's character, but at the same time you added your own flair into it, to which I enjoy greatly.

I also want to mention your writing style.

Your writing style is so amazingly done, that I find myself gaining inspiration and taking notes in how to write my own replies. How you dive deep into Ruki's actions and thoughts, how you describe his mannerisms and attitude, how you go on and on about his individuality truly interests me greatly. I always look forward into reading your replies, because most of the time, it doesn't even feel like we're simply roleplaying at all, it felt like we're writing a novel together and that aspect is what draws me in further to anticipate and read your replies.

I cannot stress ENOUGH, that your Ruki is my favorite. In fact, I was never a Ruki fan before. I never paid too much attention to him as my eyes were set on Reiji Sakamaki, but your portrayal and the interactions we had changed my views about Ruki and even, for some Godly reason, pulled me in to love him as well. You seriously just converted me into loving a character I once find too stoic for my liking. How in the world did you do that? More so, what in the world of Makai did you do to me? HAHAHAHA! Although, I'm not complaining one bit, because this experience has also became a favorite of mine and would most likely have a special place in my heart.

If there's one more thing I can say about your portrayal, it's as if you went into the wikipedia of DL, grabbed the entire page on Ruki, and ripped it out and turned it into a real life person. Well, of course, not just wikipedia page but the games as well.

It surprises me sometimes that you're literally a walking Ruki Mukami wiki. You know him so well, both as a character and a person.

I applaud you for everything you've done as Ruki, as well as your writing!

Ah! and thank you for joining the Rukas train with me and for driving it alongside me. Our interactions have become a favorite of mine! And for that, I thank you again.

(( AWWWW ESTELLE YOU CUTE ASS BITCH, COME HERE.

You don't know how flattered I feel that I could inspire you to start your own OC blog. Omg, when you said they were originally just going to be part of your DL fanfiction only, that broke my heart, AHAHAHA. Like seriously, your characters are so dear to me by now. It would be a waste to only write them in a fic at this point, so thank you for sharing your lovely OC's through your blog and deciding to interact with everyone. Also, for Picrews that were made on the spot while you were sleep deprived, the twins look utterly gorgeous LMAO. I never would've guessed. You picked the perfect one!! If you need more outfits, just hit me up and I'll do my best to draw them. 👀👀👀👀👀

Honestly, I could say the same for you. You really reignited my roleplaying spirit, and I can't thank you enough for it. Every day has been a joy to interact with you and I always eagerly await your next reply.

I don't care if most of your knowledge of the fandom comes from the wiki—which still has me totally shook by the way—it's still such a compliment that you love my portrayal of Ruki!! What matters most is that the way I write him is entertaining for the both of us, regardless of how much you know AHAHA. Ruki and I may have more similarities than you think, but you're totally right. We're quite different more than similar perhaps.

Although, I could say the same exact opposite about you. The way you incorporate certain aspects of your personality into your OC's is very heartwarming and makes them feel that much more real. Through your OC's, it feels like I also learn a lot more about the person behind them as well, which I find exciting!

Also, I'm happy you notice that I enjoy putting my own touch to Ruki as well HAHAHA. After all, interacting with your OC's is forcing him to develop in a different direction in more ways than one, so I'm excited to see what that looks like. If anything, I'm the one who's learning from you about how to describe all of Ruki's mannerisms and feelings. You do such an outstanding job of that with your own OC's, and the way you capture their exact feelings in that moment is very powerful. Your words also cause me to feel what they're feeling, and it's not easy for just anyone to accomplish that. I don't know what the trick is, but you do it phenomenally. Wherever this novel that we're writing together takes us, I'm enjoying every second of the ride.

It means so much that I could drag you down into Ruki hell with me!! We're never getting out of here, by the way. That's just how he is. To be honest with you, overly stoic and cold characters are not usually my type either. They tend to be too serious for my tastes, like you said. But as I played through the games (anime Ruki will NOT show you anything that worthwhile), he shows off so many sides of himself, sides that I wish to capture in my own writing HAHAHA. Underneath that stoicism is a smug, bold, playful, yet caring Vampire believe it or not. Thank you for sticking around despite my over-the-top simpery for this man.

Goodness, I'm just at such a loss for words. If you're the Wiki guy, then I can be the walking Ruki Wiki. It may not be much, but it's honest work. Also it kind of amuses me how you recently got into DL and it's very possible you know more about it than I do now thanks to the wiki LMAO. That's something I forgot to mention in my ask to you. I love how dedicated you are to your OC's and world building that you would have 30+ tabs open of the DL wiki alone. One day I hope to be this dedicated to my own project in the future, whatever that may look like.

Ah, yes!! Rukas!! This ship has stolen my heart, and I root for them every day! Thank you for making Lukas such an adorably loveable character. To be honest, I was fearing for my boy at first, but now I can see they bring out the most adorable sides of each other AHAHAHA. It may be Ruki who is catching feelings for him, but I've totally fallen in love with him as a character too in the process. Maybe I'm biased, but if I ship Ruki with someone then I need to first get hooked onto them myself, haha.

Sorry this has gotten really long. I'll wrap up by saying thank you so much again for everything. Here's to more happy writing moments together. 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐 ))
