#sorry if all this makes little or no sense i am just a rambler

[radioroxx]

are there any isat headcanons you're crazy about that you'd like to mention or elaborate on

hmmmmmm well obviously there are Lots. because. what am i if not the thinker. one ive not had the chance to talk about before though is my loop headcanon about what they… are? how it would feel to touch them. the reason ive never really explained it before is because its, its hard to make sense of it?? i guess? like. in my head i Get it. but trying to write it down is… weird

i think the best way to describe them would be to call them a hole. that is to say iii dont think theyre made of, Anything. think like a black hole basically, a dip in reality etc etc to create! a hole! and thats what they are!! so when you see inside them and you see stars and galaxies, thats not just a fun skin pattern. you Are seeing the universe. through them. because. hole. thumbs up emoji

on that note as well i dont think touching them is technically possible el oh el. since theres nothing To touch. instead, you would just feel pressure pressure pressure when you get close to their “body” until your hand couldnt pass through anymore. the closest thing they had to a body is that thickest layer of pressure.

(it is also, in my hc, that pressure/energy that gives them their human-like form. without it they would become some incomprehensible shape. if that layer is damaged—say, for example, in a fight. hypothetically, with a knife—it can be pierced, and they lose part of their stability. thats what their little. uhh. frizzly things are. effects of instability or damage done to their form. can also be effected by Emotional state……. you get the idea i think)

their head is as close to a real star as it can get, and Is pure light, but. not enough to yknow, be dangerous to be around el oh el. and Yes im keeping my hc that loops star head has an orbit of its own. science be damned

[tricksteroftheheart]

dont tell anyone i told you this but earlier today i was crying over something (/not important im okay) and something Clicked and i was like 'oh god. why is this so Tisha. no i dont want this' and I have refused to think about it since

Not kinfirmed and I refuse to look into it further (she can drag me down to her level) but the suddenness of it made me go 'Oh yeah me too sometimes'

LITERALLY minding my own business and then it's like. Huh! I think I'm Razzle rn. What prompted that and where did that come from.

Kinfirmed him ages ago but uhhh I do not often kinshift to him. So that was unexpected but hey we ball. At least my friend is a Dazzle kin. Small blessings and bonding moments

[turbulentscrawl]

OMG HI I'M SO SORRY.

I just added some things to the match up and so I'll just copy paste what I sent, along with the updated things. I'm so sorry if this is a bother.

I'm 5'3 with mid length brown hair and bangs. I'm an ENFP-T if that matters lol. I'm also bisexual! I don't really have a preference for gender, nor for hunter/survivors. My favorite colours are green and yellow. I'm a Taurus and my fashion sense sort of. Is like, star-core / star aesthetic if that makes sense? I feel like my love language is to (receive) words of affirmation (give) quality time

Oh gosh, where to start haha!

In general, I'm sort of energetic, friendly and bouncy. I don't find it hard to socialise with people 94% of the time. I am very. Very. Passionate about my autistic special interests (high school Musical, art and general creative acts and such). I'm always on the move and have been described as a manic pixie dream girl at times haha. Despite that, there is always that 6% of the time where I sort of slip up.

I am not a flawless social butterfly, I will admit to that lol. I sometimes grow awkward and quiet, usually because I'm surrounded by people who I don't really know how to talk to or I struggle to mesh well with. This tends to get me excluded from most friend groups because, like, most people don't like loud, awkward messes. On top of that, I'm actually extremely paranoid. I'm terrified of the dark because I'm convinced someone is out to get me, it's kinda funny :3. The paranoia does get really bad, that I struggle to leave my room because like. Again, worried someone is out to get me.

Anyways, that's only 6% of the time!!

I'm insanely creative. I've always been so. I love to read, and write, and draw and paint. It's my special way of expressing myself. I plan on being an author, something I've dreamt of since I was like.. 2? Or something ^w^

I've been told I'm a bit of a rambler, once I get started on something it's difficult for me to stop. Especially when it's something I find fascinating. I love to research topics I like. I have spent an embarrassing amount of time researching early childhood trauma and the way a stressful event can effect a developing mind.

I love being in the spotlight and used to take drama classes because I loved having people's eyes on me. I hope that's not a red flag haha, I just like having attention on me sometimes!

I also used to take horse riding lessons. I was a horse girl as a kid. I'm sorry.

I listen to all kinds of music. Country, rap, pop, jazz. I love experiencing all different kinds of sensations!

I am always somehow moving. Whether that's talking to someone, rocking myself back and forward, I'm always some how on the move.

One of my BIGGEST flaws though is that I'm pretty socially unaware as well. I can come off as rude and insulting without meaning it to be, and unless someone tells me that I'm being insulting, I'll probably double down until someone makes me actually think about what I'm saying.

I think my ultimate deal breaker I'd someone with overly unhealthy attitudes to approaching a relationship. I'm really big with communication so someone who struggles to talk to me if they're feeling upset, or someone who lashes out at me for things I've genuinely never done. If you can't be mature and speak to me like a grown up, I won't want to be with you.

Im sorry!!

sorry for the wait on this! Hope you like <3

I ship you with Demi Bourbon!

-Demi is also a social butterfly who can get along with all sorts of people. She’s highly adaptable, understanding, and friendly, almost to a fault. She’d be just as open and welcoming to you as she is anyone else, regardless of whether you’re in a peak social mood or feeling a little more awkward that day, so meeting and getting to know one another is easy.

-Demi is a very “go with the flow�� type in regards to conversation, and she is a fortunate mixture of intuitive and forgiving that means she’s not likely to suddenly fly off the handle if you happen to say something insensitive or insulting (or for any other reason, really.) She prefers to get you alone if she can, quietly let you know that she doesn’t super appreciate whatever was just done or said, and then try to explain why. And if you apologize, she accepts, and what’s done is done.

-On that note, she struggles with deeper communication a little, only because she’s not the most eloquent speaker and sometimes struggles to verbalize her feelings effectively. In this sense, she’s also a bit of a rambler. But as long as you’re a patient and active listener, she’ll get her point across eventually.

-She also loves all kinds of music, and takes interest in other people’s hobbies. She’s not likely to hop up on a horse on her own any time soon, but she thinks it’s neat that you do! And you can talk to her about literally anything—for hours even, as long as she has a drink to keep her hands busy—and she’s completely enthralled the entire time. She remembers just about everything people tell her, and gives Words of Affirmation and Gifts as her love languages, referencing older conversations with those as much as possible.

-Demi isn’t afraid of the dark, but she thinks it’s kinda cute that you are. She wouldn’t make fun of you for it, but she does use it as an excuse to hold your hand and coddle you a bit. I have this cute image of you two settling down for the evening, and Demi holding your hand and charging down the hallway with you the second the light is flipped off. She’s giggling the whole time, and makes sure you get into the next room before her. She’ll be your shield from the monsters ;)

Thank you so much for sharing some snippets and ideas of your fanfic (folders)!! 🥺💕 it’s awesome!! I wanna ask you about so many things but that would probably a bit too much 😂😅

I saw your Arrow folders and Rimni and Alec and got really excited!! 🥺💕 I’ll never stop loving this story of yours! Screaming at you on discord about every new chapter was a great time 🥺 :D

Or your Kitsune folder!!! Also one of my favourites!! As well as all your dragon ones!! 🥺💕

Daredevil and Blinded Revenge!! 👀👀 I am so curious!! Sentinel/Guide!!! 💕

Can I ask you about „Dragon Whisperer“ and „Lost Voice“? 👀🥺

Hold Still, Tentacle and Sibling Allergies are also like 👀👀👀👀

Tbh I would ask you about everything (sorry I can’t make decisions 😂💀) sorry for rambling and you don’t have to answer to all of course!!

Thank you for your stories!!! 🥺💕💕💕💕

You are always welcome to ramble lol I enjoy it so much! (I am definitely not a rambler at all, oh no, not *me*) I love hearing from people and I'm so happy to sit and talk fics!!

Now, let's start from the top. I won't give details on all of them, but I can say that I'm still working on the Arrow sequel, I promise - and the Rimni and Alec folder is actually *not* part of the Arrow Through Time universe ;) It's a separate, dragon story I couldn't quite resist, but have never wrapped up the last chapter on and published. Cause, it's not a story with Magnus - Alec isn't old enough for him yet. :D

The kitsune folder was really just the one that houses the kitsune!Magnus and ideas I'd had for more but never did more than look at, say hm, and move on.

Daredevil is a fuuuuuuuuun (well, for me) fic where, you guessed it, I used the idea of enhanced senses for the blind like Daredevil, and proceed to play around for a while.

Now, Dragon Whisperer is literally a story where Alec is the dragon whisperer, said in a joking way the same way people write stories about him being a baby whisperer. It's where someone discovers a dragon egg after Valentine is dead and gone, the first dragon born in ages, and when it comes out the little thing tries to go after everyone, but it adores Alec. And as they encounter more, as the dragons start to hesitantly return to the world, he manages to make a peace with them when they swore never to talk to shadowhunters again, mostly because he has proven so kind to their young.

Lost Voice is exactly what it sounds like and then some - someone decides that they want to stop Alec and the politics he's pushing, they want to take down this too progressive shadowhunter, only they *know* they can't kill him. Because then he'd, A) become a martyr and B) not only would Magnus save him, if they *did* succeed he'd rip them all apart, and a guy with the power of Edom at his fingertips is not someone they want to go against. So instead, they plot to take away the thing that's helping him push forward, the thing convincing everyone to follow his lead - his voice. How can he politic and argue with the Clave or even *lead an Institute* if he can't even speak? That's their mindset, at least (they have no idea just how determined Alec is, and how far he'll go to fight for what's right, voice or no voice)

I don't have any snips to share, I'm sorry! But I hope that answered you well enough :D

[lilacerull0]

Hey jo!

I did the mbti personality test again! I knew I had to because the last time I did it was years ago way before lockdown and everything! I was probably 14. So the only thing that's different is that I'm more introverted than extroverted now (which is obvious). I'm officially an infp, which tbh seems to fit me more. I still don't know much, but I read the description. I am not sure how I feel, it's surely more relatable and well, realistic! I don't know what to think, but that's me!! (Yes I am making a deal out of this, sorry?)

Anyway I wanted to tell someone, i hope you don't mind your overthinking friend venting here. Love you so so much 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I so love this gif.

Mais, I am an overthinker and a rambler and an incredibly annoying nerd, why. would. I. mind?????????? INFP I THINK EMMA IS AN INFP OMG @the-girl-who-cried-wolf ?????? This is one of my favourite personality types, there's Todd Anderson, Peter Parker, CHARLIE KELMECKIS, Luna Lovegood, JUST SOME EXCEPTIONALLY AMAZING PEOPLE WHICH MAKES SO MUCH SENSE CUZ YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I'm an INTJ which is ✨A Curse (TM)✨, but I'm working on it!!!!! (I have Greg House, Beth Harmon, Mr. Darcy and Kat Stratford in my corner and I also think Doctor Strange? I think Kaz Brekker too? And that I'm not too thrilled about even tho I haven't met him yet dhsjdjsjdj + some famous people which I'm taking with a grain of salt, such as Nikola Tesla, Jane Austen and Emily Bronte, tho Emily does make sense to me because the way Wuthering Heights is written kinda fits my mindset???? *end geek rant*). You know you can be and are both, right? I always say that, one personality type doesn't have to "fit" you exclusively and this is all for fun (+ it actually helped me with some of my issues because: self awareness!!!!!), so I'd keep the ENFP one too (I mean Jo March is formally an ENFP I think, but I relate to her So Much and see her as an introvert and am probably projecting a little, but she's My Character in mine and everybody else's eyes apparently so who cares! + I have Neil's (ENFJ) energy. See my point? ✨Interpretation✨), then you get something close to the whole picture. My MBTI fits me very well and I don't know what's my second "diagnosis" but it's probably something completely contrasted with my current one, that's how humans function I guess. The only thing that must be the same is probably the Thinking >>>>>> Feeling part.

It's just that I have lots of Todds to bully into confidence now.🧙‍♀️ *evil laugh* YAY! (Yep, Dash (don't even try ok, I NEVER gave up) and Emma, this is about you 🧐, I think Stella also? I remember her mentioning it in the tags?)

And it's more than ok to make a big deal out of things!!!!! I try to ignore emotion and live outside of myself and here I am, with Greg House and Jo March as my fictional counterparts... *sad emoji* I view that as an admirable quality, making a big deal of things, you inspire me! Keep being you whoever that is or might be and just be, exist, write poetry, dance, it's called Keating-it-up! OMG ANNE SHIRLEY CUTHBERT IS AN INFP, MAAAAIS!!!!!!

[entities-of-posts]

*knocks on the door and waits a second, before opening it and sitting down a few feet away from you, gives a small wave* Hello

*folds hands together in lap and waits a moment, looking for how to phrase my thoughts* .... I thought you might be able to help me.

You see- I'm not an avatar. Or at least I don't think I am. I do have some leaning for masks and endless questions, but nothing truly serious has happened to me besides personal drama, no spook stories.

But I am, a writer. A writer with a problem... For anyone who watches or reads this place little warning for abuse and gaslighting, absolutely mundane for a place like this. But I like it when people understand where they're marching towards. Anyway, this character I have, he's human. He's a dancer. When he was a child- I'm sorry may I ramble? I hope you don't mind. I assumed this was a place for ramblers.

Anyway, when he was a child in Cuba, his father left for america to start a life, and send money back so they could all immigrate. Well, he sent the money. He and his mother got to America, and he wasn't there. He left them, after previously seeming to love them so much... Anyway.

Conservative catholic mom mixed with a gay son who's only passion was dancing didn't go well. She was emotionally abusive and gaslit him all the time, but she made it to where, through masks, the whole world had no idea what was happening.

My question- my dilemma- for you is, what entity would he really best serve?

He doesn't have a real concrete sense of self, because he's been hiding his entire life. He hid his trauma and his pain, and he hid his orientation, and he tried to distance himself from his homeland. He has an interchanging set of masks for his mother, his church, his friends, his real friends, his teachers. Its easier, to find new identities to be when you don't who "you" are.

But then at the same time, he's constantly afraid that he was making things up. Life wasn't really that hard there- she was right. Maybe that person in the corner of the class that smiles just too much and suddenly isn't Right is just his imagination- maybe HE'S the crazy one here.

I feel like he's seen a door or two appear in his home- when he knows there wasn't one there before- promising him an escape from this life. And I know that when he dances and really- r e a l l y looses himself he can hear the music of strangeness. But I just can't decide.

He'd be so good for the Stranger, but his background has him neatly set up for spirals.....

Last thing, and then I'll be done. There's a thread I've been following in my imagination, where after he runs away and starts his new life, his mother (It's not her) finds him and asks him to talk. To stop running from her. To tell him to come home. And all his friends run to protect him from his mother but he's frozen, stuck, in fear. Because he Knows it's not her. He remembers a different face.

He doesn't want to join the Stranger, but if it chose him this way, beckoning him to come join a dance, is there anything he could do to escape? Perhaps if the two fears knew, that if (by one way or another-) he chose one, the other would destroy him in petty delight, would it dissuade them? Why bother wasting the energy if you will, and both would leave him be but quietly feed.

*shrugs after a pause* I don't know, make of this what you will. I just figured that you might want something a little bit different. Either way, it feels nice for me to drop the ball and let the thread unroll. I really would like your opinion. Your thoughts or your ramblings on this or just the dichotomy of Stranger and Spiral in general. If stories aren't what your after, I can try and pull up a more interesting statement to feed off of. Just let me know, I'll be here... Watching, reading. As we all are.

... I like this mask. I'll call it, Triple A Writer. Let me know when you feel like rambling with me. *gets up, stretches a little, and walks out, quietly closing the door behind me*

Here we must make the distinction between Marked and aligned. Your character seems Marked by both the Spiral and the Stranger, but to mostly feel a call, a kinship with the latter. While the scars of the Spiral are on him, it seems like to it he would be a snack rather than a servant. While the Entities do squabble and steal each other’s toys, it’s unlikely that they would both care enough about this one human to have a real fight about it; at least not them directly. It would be more plausible for him to catch the eyes of not those two Fear themselves exactly, but rather beings serving them; those could certainly try and actively compete for his loyalty if he seemed worth it. It’s OF course up to you, and him, to make the choice. But I do believe your boy deserves to dance at the Unknowing’s opening night.

[lost-between-letters]

Howdy there! Congrats on the milestone!

Could I get a ship for Stranger Things please?

My favorite song is always changing but is currently between If I Was A Cowboy by Miranda Lambert and Old Flames by Dolly Parton

I’m afab non-binary (they/she) and pansexual so no preference either way as long as it’s an 18+ character ofc. I’m part Cherokee and part white so I’m fairly tan with really long chocolatey brown hair and full bangs, and greyish-green almond shaped eyes. I wear glasses and have my right nostril pierced with a small silver hoop in it currently, my earlobes are pierced as well and I often wear native made beaded earrings. I’m fairly average when considering body type and height (basically not quite skin and bones but not enough weight or body fat to be considered ‘chubby’ beyond my thighs tbh, and I’m 5’4). I don’t really have a specific style of fashion, each day I’m probably in a different aesthetic than the day before, but I prioritize comfort over trends every chance I get. I almost always have my nails painted, usually black but occasionally I like painting them pink.

I’m very passionate, introverted, and sensitive, but I will always stand up for my friends. Basically my anxiety disappears when I have to do something for someone I love and care about, which has me called a mom friend often. I’m a big people pleaser too, which has gotten me into some issues but I’ve been told I’m fairly charming and cunning so I’ve been able to get out of those problems. I was never technically popular in school, I knew a lot of people but didn’t have a lot of friends if that makes sense.

I love animals (I am that bitch to yell ‘cow’ or ‘dog’ when I see them) and the outdoors, even though it seems every time I go outside I end up getting hurt somehow. (I‘ve only fell out of a tree once, let’s get that out of the way lol) I grew up in the backwoods of Kentucky, so I was raised around farm lands and know my way around a shotgun as well as a good old pickup truck. Even with how ‘country’ I am, I am a huge nerd as well, completely obsessed with Star Wars if I’m honest, and can tell you random facts of a variety of things (including, but not limited to, feline body language, the history of rock music, and classic conspiracy theories) because I’m a naturally curious person and research anything that peaks my interest even just a little bit. I don’t think I’m particularly talented at anything; I used to be in band in middle school and can play a few notes in the flute along with a few other instruments, I can make a decent painting of animals, I write little drabbles here and there, but the one think I know I’m good at is looking up things. I never lose an argument because I make sure I get the facts before ever even engaging in debates. I almost blame that on my ADHD, but I really blame it on being a Virgo with a need to be right despite I don’t completely buy into astrology (though I do find it fun and interesting to play with!).

I think that’s all that really matters, thank you! And I’m sorry for how long this ended up, I’m also a big rambler and don’t know how to shut up sometimes 😅

Don't apologize for talking Sweetheart, it was really interesting to read it<3

I ship you with Robin Buckley!

God, that girl could listen to you talk endlessly. Seriously, the moment you two really started talking, she was in love (and maybe a little infatuated before as well - you stood out to her in school, always having your friends' backs even to the assholes no one dared to mess with, Robin was fascinated). And you two match each other in terms of research energy; if one of you finds a topic they're interested in, you make a game out of it who can find the most facts about it and retell them to each other (it was Robin's idea)

She finds it cute how excited you get about animals and finds every dog in a radius of two miles to pet for you. Whenever you stumble over a rock or hit your head on a low hanging branch, she's right there by your side - once in a while making fun of you or calling you clumsy - and helps you.

You swing by the ice cream parlor every chance you get to see her and you love how much her face lights up whenever you seemingly materialise in front of her (once you got Steve in on surprising Robin with a huge bouquet and invitation for a movie date on your anniversary - to this day neither of you knows how you actually pulled it off, usually Robin is observant of everything going on around her).

Reading your important info made me think "you know what I also hate? The use of the word tiny. "He took my tiny hand in his big one" "ny tiny fists" like... to me, tiny is a word for children. Small is a word for adults. Like my hands are smaller than my partner's hands but neither of us would call them tiny. Does that make sense?

I just kept reading that word in relations to hands and "tiny frame" like... to me only a child can have that? That pulls me out of a fic so fast.

Sorry for rambling. I really like your writing!

Ah, it's interesting that you say this!! Even down to the words "pulls me out of a fic" because that's how I refer to the same sensation. Sometimes a writer has a compelling enough story or style that I hardly notice, and other times I just end up putting something down because I loose the immersive experience of reading. I like being "in" the world I'm reading about, fic or not, and sometimes stuff just takes you out of the world. This is especially common in reader insert fics tbh, at least for me, and for you, it sounds like.

I totally get your association of the word tiny with children. Honestly, even as a kid I was tall and leggy, so I was only ever really called tiny when I was a baby because I was a little on the small side when I was born. I grew so fast and hit puberty so early that I skipped training bras and have the stretch marks all over to show for the initial thiccening my body experienced and continued to experience. So honestly, even tiny feels a little weird for me personally for kids, but that's a heavily contextual preference of mine that would likely never come up in an insert fic.

I really appreciate this comment though, because describing a reader insert character as small can be really disruptive in ways I don't think people understand. Like you, I have smaller hands than my partner, but really, they're average sized otherwise. But there are parts of me that are bigger than my partner too, like my bust and hip measurements, so using small as a universal descriptor wouldn't really work. And who's to say that my hands aren't the same size as Jimin's or Hoseok's? In fact, they might have bigger hands, but I might have thicker fingers. Namjoon might be taller than me but I still have several kilos on him. Jungkook and Jin might wear clothing that looks huge but it's not going to be huge on me if I put on the same t-shirt.

This is exactly why word choice when writing fics with a "neutral" reader insert is so so fucking important, and frankly, not enough. It requires a way of looking at the world that accounts for the multitude of body shapes and sizes and colors and like, once you start making the adjustments, it's really not that hard. I think it's more important to be inclusive, especially of larger bodies, than it is to be neutral. Frankly, I think that for a lot of writers "neutral reader-insert" is just code for "I don't want to put in the work to be inclusive" or "I'm not doing any of the intellectual leg work to actually make sure fat folks or people of color might feel included by this fic."

There's an extent to which a writer will never be able to please everyone with their characters and character descriptions, and that's fine!! That's not what I'm asking us to do. I am asking folks to start treating this matter with more care, however, because I'm still reading stories that claim to be neutral and never are. And that can make it hard to read, especially on days when I need something gentle. It lights a fire under my ass though, as you can see, so I'm going to be on my soft-bodied bullshit for a loooong time.

Anyway, I don't think you were rambling aldjkfhalskjh as a chronic rambler, I appreciate you reading the sprawling ramble that is my disclaimers and reaching out to me. And then I also appreciate you reading this if you came back to see my response. Hope you're having a good timezone wherever you are!

IBTHNTTTY - 10

Bucky Barnes x Female Reader

Summary: Y/n hates Bucky Barnes. Absolutely loathes him what makes it worse is that she has to share her office with him. Now with a promotion on the horizon she has to find a way to work with him and not against him.

Word Count: 1464

Warnings: this one has a lot of fluff, swears, sickness stuff, your welcome

A/n: this fic is just the gift that keeps on giving

The next time Y/n opened her eyes, there was an obscenely beautiful black man with his face directly in front of her. She squinted at him.

“How are you feeling?” The strange man asked.

“Like everything is on fire,” she answered, “Who are you?”

“I’m Sam. I’m a doctor.”

“What kind of doctor?” Y/n flipped onto her back. “Because with my luck, you’re some kind of ass doctor.”

She hadn’t realized that doctors still did house calls.

“I’m a physician, so I’m equipped to handle almost everything. So no, I don’t specialize in asses. But I could make an exception for yours.” Sam smiled at her.

“Even if I wasn’t sick, that line would make me gag.” Speaking of which, her stomach lurched again.

“C’mon, Sunflower,” Bucky spoke from her other side. He was still on the bed, his hand now on her hairline. His thumb was gently stroking her forehead. “You gotta sit up so he can check you out.”

“Oh, so he can also specialize in my boobs?” Y/n teased as she sat up.

“Making jokes even with a fever of 104,” Sam said, nodding, “I like this one, Barnes.”

“Stop flirting with your patient,” Bucky grumbled. 

Sam took her temperature and looked at her throat. While he was doing all this, Y/n’s eyes were trained on Bucky. His eyes were bouncing between her and Sam, he never actually made eye contact with her, but he looked at her.

As she looked, no, gazed at him. Because that’s what she was doing, gazing up at him like a lovesick fool. And she was decidedly not in love, she was however sick. But she was trying to remember why he called her sunflower. He’d been doing it since their first week together.

Had he seen the tattoo on her upper thigh? No, there hadn’t been an opportunity for that. Except for last night. This morning? When had she gone home from work?

“What day is it?” She asked, completely forgetting about her other question. She laid back down, not having the strength to sit up for much longer.

“It’s still Friday,” Bucky answered.

She opened her mouth to make a snarky remark but closed it and gagged again.

“Bucky claims that your temp spiked to 104, but it’s dropped back to a cool 102. So unless it spikes again and stays at 104 for longer than thirty minutes, you should be fine,” Sam said. “Barnes, flush her with fluids. Don’t let her die from dehydration.”

“Thanks, Sam,” Bucky said. He was obviously trying to rush him out the door, but Doctor Sam wasn’t having it.

Sam turned to Y/n smiling. “Give me a call once you’re better. I’ll take you to a fancy restaurant and let you order anything off the menu.”

“Goodbye, Samuel!” Bucky ordered.

“Gesh, I’m going.” Sam sent her a wink over his shoulder. “Tony says to stop ignoring his calls!”

“Tell him I’m not ignoring them, I’m a little busy. And he doesn’t have to call me all the time.”

The door slammed, and Bucky turned his attention to Y/n again. This time, he made eye contact with her.

“How are you feeling?” He asked.

“Better, but I’m cold again.”

“That would be the fever,” Bucky sighed. He sank down, so he was lying next to her. She snuggled into his right side, he stilled at the movement. He took a deep breath and unfroze. 

“Why do you call me sunflower? And why does Tony Stark ‘check-up’ on you? Are you some sort of genius?” She mumbled into his side.

“The first day we worked in the office together, there was a bouquet of sunflowers on your desk -”

“They were from my parents. Sunflowers are my favorite,” she whispered.

“Yeah, I know. The fact that your family sends them to you every year on your birthday or any other significant day kind of gave you away. And if that hadn’t been a giveaway, your tattoo would’ve clued me in.” She could hear the smile in his voice.

“How did you -” That’s when she realized that her shirt and sheets had been changed. “You’ve seen my boobies.”

“No, you changed your own shirt,” he chuckled, “You didn’t even wait for me to look away. Luckily, I have quick reflexes. But your little sunflower did peek out a few times. It’s cute.”

“Have you ever wanted to see my boobies?”

“Do you really want to know the answer to that? Because if I say yes, you will think I’m a pig who only ever thinks about women to sexualize them. On the flip side of that, if I say no, you might be offended that I wouldn’t want to see your bosom.”

“Well, knowing that you are the kind of person that says bosom, I’m leaning towards you saying no,” she chuckled.

“I just edited a romance novel. It was the first thing that came to mind that wasn’t tits,” Bucky said. Y/n laughed, a little obnoxiously for someone who was sick, but she couldn’t help it.

“Well, I forgive you for not saying tits while I’m all sweaty and gross.” She draped her arm across his stomach. “I’m sorry that I’m getting you all sweaty. And thank you for changing my sheets.”

“It’s no problem, sunflower. Now, go to sleep.”

“You’ll be here when I wake up?” Her body was exhausted, her eyes already closed.

“I’d never leave you,” he whispered, but Y/n wasn’t sure if she’d heard him correctly or if she would remember this when she woke up.

* * *

Y/n went in and out of consciousness. Oftentimes, Bucky was still there by her side. At one point, he’d changed into different clothes, not ones she recognized but definitely not the ones he’d worn to work on Friday.

There were a few times when Bucky hadn’t been in bed with her, but she heard him in the kitchen fussing about. He’d returned before she fell back asleep and made her take some sort of medicine and force-fed her broth. Ok, maybe he didn’t force-feed it to her, but there was absolutely him spoon-feeding her like an infant.

“I can feed myself, ya know,” she said. He made an oh-my-apologies-your-majesty face and held out the spoon for her. “No, I don’t want to.”

“Then quit complaining,” Bucky said. He returned to feeding her quietly. They sat there in silence; the only sound in the room was the occasional clink of the spoon hitting the bowl. “When you called yourself unloveable. . . Do you believe that?”

“I have no proof that it’s wrong,” she wiped her chin of a dribble that almost ran down her neck, “and that was more about romantic love than any other type of love.”

Bucky stared at her after putting the now-empty bowl down. Y/n, who was feeling better, was still a little sick and still a rambler. So she stupidly opened her mouth so more words could fall out.

“That time I told you about the corn maze? It’s the one and only date I’ve ever been on, until recently. But I don’t really count that as a date, given the outcome. And no one’s ever tried to kiss me. Not that I haven’t kissed anyone, but it was never in a romantic sense. It was once or twice for a play. And then once while I was drunk at a party, and that was the quickest of pecks.” She gasped, preparing herself to continue.

“Am I not attractive enough? I know I’m not a classic beauty or very hot. . . I just want to be desired by someone.” Y/n looked down at her lap. She was unable to look at him; she couldn’t risk the pity that was undoubtedly in his eyes. Hit with another wave of exhaustion, she laid back down, mumbling thanks to Bucky before drifting back to sleep.

* * *

Being asleep while sick had always been weird for Y/n. It was almost as if she was never truly asleep for most of it, at least after the first day.

Which is why she wasn’t sure it had happened. It was definitely a dream, but a small part of her had hoped it was real.

“I think you’re beautiful and very desirable. I don’t get how you’ve gone this long, thinking that no one will ever love you the way you want to be loved. It blows my mind that no one has even tried.” Bucky’s fingers lightly traced shapes across her arm that was still over his stomach. Or it had returned to his stomach. In her dream, and probably in real life as well, she pressed herself closer to him. “One of these days I’m going to have to tell you that.”

🥀 and 🌾 for Morgan & Roxie

coming right up, wifey!🥰❤️💙

it got pretty long (way longer than I expected it to, I’ll say that much), so everything is under the cut!!

also warning: on the 🌾 question, George is a rambler— that’s it. that’s the warning😂

🥀 How would your OC decorate a notebook or journal? What kind of things are written in there? Could you give an example of a nice entry?

Morgan isn’t really much of a journal or diary keeper, but if she were to keep one, it would most likely be very plain and boring so no one would suspect it being a journal. she’d mostly document the Triwizard Tournament and most of her 6th-7th year. and examples of a nice entry would be something along the lines of talking about her friends or about George (actually, that one is just mushy and nauseatingly cute), but that’s about it. maybe I’ll write that entry one day, who knows?🤷🏻‍♀️

Roxie, on the other hand, would most likely keep quite a few journals to document her entire time at Hogwarts, written in perfect chronological order with no detail left out— she’s organized like that. an example of a nice entry (just giving a random base year because we have no canon to work with, but it mentions the lovely Siobhan (@kc-needs-coffee) and the wonderful Gabriel (@slytherindisaster)):

November 15th 18–, Hogwarts

last night I had an interesting conversation with Shiv about the magical creatures that roam just outside of the castle. honestly, if it was not for her, I would not know half of the stuff I know about any given creature. in transfiguration today, I had to sit by Gabriel, who gets on my nerves to absolutely no end, and that is putting it nicely. I do find him to be appealing in the slightest way though— but do not tell Shiv that, she would never let me live it down.

-Roxanne C. Haley

🌾 Describe your OC through the eyes of someone absolutely head-over-heels in love with them

Morgan is…wow. where do I even begin with Morgan? I love her snarky and feisty attitude, and how she’s always up for a good joke, how she’s always got that mischievous little smirk and that twinkle in her eye when she’s plotting something. I love how she gets really hyper and excited when she’s talking about the things she loves, and how she’s absolutely phenomenal on the quidditch pitch. have I mentioned her height? she’s so tiny, it’s adorable! and her hair is absolutely flawless, even after quidditch practice. honestly, I can’t recall I time that I didn’t find her attractive. she’s just an absolutely beautiful soul, with a huge heart that’s very clearly made of gold—even if she is the most chaotic side of me. Godric…she’s quite literally perfect, in every imaginable way. -George Weasley

(disclaimer: I tried my best with Gabriel, please correct me if I’m wrong @slytherindisaster!! and I’m sorry, but I just had to add the last line because it strikes me as something Gabriel would say😂)

Roxie? you mean, Roxie Haley? I simply could not stand her when I first met her, and I’m sure she felt the same way about me, even if I would rather lie and say she was already in love with me then. But Roxie is, in every sense of the word, perfect for me. wherever I lack, she makes up for it, and I do the same for her. when I’m being a bit too on the rambunctious and rather idiotic side of things, Roxie is the one who brings me back down and gets me back into reality. in a sense, we make up two halves of a whole heart, and I am beyond grateful for her to be in my life. I can count myself as very lucky to have her. well, I’m not as lucky as Roxie, she has me, after all! -Gabriel Sapieha

send an oc ask!

[hange-zone]

hey...i’ve sat with the ending for a bit and am still not entirely sure what to feel. i will say i’m bit sad that it’s over - i started this series with friends back in 2014, and was little and giddy and excited about it. i consumed a lot of jeanmarco fic (wisteria! LAD! render! strings! etc) and that one really good eremin (we were kings...which is probably half the reason why i’m writing it so feverishly now) + fanart (johannathemad! icarus theory! gimmes! many many more that i’m happy to share but don’t remember right now cos it’s 5am)

and then life went on and i forgot about it mostly because...life...and only got back into it a few months ago when the anime was back on netflix and i watched most of it in the span of a week. and i’m here, again.

i have to admit i don’t exactly read the manga and i stopped the anime for a bit because at the heart of it i’m also not sure how to feel about the time skip. i think that’s on me though - the basement was built up to be this black box and i think a large part of the fun was the not knowing, and the journey to the basement was used as a framing device. so once we found out that fell away and i don’t think any reveal would have been completely satisfactory. and i have issues with the timeskip but it’s probably me being picky (lol dm me if you’d like to know more, i am such a rambler)

though admittedly there are parts of the post timeskip i do enjoy - you can tell i’m obsessed with that one scene eren and armin stare at each other, i love the new designs, i especially love armin lol - and I appreciate parts of the perspective it’s trying to give too in the broadest sense (ie the anti-war themes...effect of propaganda... at least I THINK that’s what we were supposed to take away at the start of season 4 because I stopped watching the show then for a whole host of reasons)

was looking over (ok, glued to) reddit yesterday and it occured to me parts of the fandom (read: r/yeagerbomb) can be quite toxic (as with any large fandom I guess!) so I was hoping to avoid that but also like understand what’s going on...i think honestly i was a bit disappointed in the ending, at first i was actually upset but now i’m just...alright. mostly i think i’m sad it’s ended and that’s mixed up with how I feel in general. but I've thought about it and overall it’s an  ending in the broadest sense, I mean it largely served its purpose and I think importantly for endings, tied up main threads of the plot. and i respect the decisions the author has made, even as we’re all entitled to our opinion and you can disagree. I do wish some other choices made or it were done slightly differently. mostly I wish it had more time to develop some themes and I think generally some parts of the series were a bit convoluted. 

if you’d like my (uninformed) thoughts i am happy to share - they’re in more detail below! and i’d like to hear yours too:)

.

.

.

if it helps i didn’t buy the whole ‘chad eren’ thing at all - at heart he is still a nineteen year old boy and he’s probably still small and scared - something which i’ve explored! - and while i appreciate that eremika didn’t exactly come out of nowhere i’ve always read it as them wanting the domesticity with each other, wanting to live out full, normal lives, but not necessarily just about the exclusivity of a relationship, which is what some readings of the last chapter seemed to suggest (& hence i kinda get why people are so mad that that he comes off as an incel but idk, maybe it’s the translations? i personally am choosing to read it as the first part - that he wanted deep down to have the space to live out a long, natural life with the people he loves).

but wrt to eremika my main thing is that i’m a bit iffy on the parallels to ymir because personally i’m not a bit fan of that entire ymir/fritz thread...1) i get the slave...to love but it also feels a bit like it romanticises their relationship? maybe i’m reading too much into it. but more importantly to me 2) i feel it complicates things a bit because we can’t then pin down if it’s eren or her making the executive decisions which then becomes a bit more thematically murky and doesn’t help with characterisation...I mean if he’s a plot device then he is a plot device, if he’s a character with agency then he’s a character, if he blurs the line between both it becomes a bit of an issue as there aren’t real stakes and character development then becomes a bit of a question mark since there’s also this tendency to reduce him to a symbol...and yeah, as we see the whole  headache-inducing nature of this is quite evident now... (and i want to feel for eren!)

also not a super fan of the eren sending dina. but i’m reminded of the discussions around mr robot and standing in the stream of time wrt white rose but eh, time travel plots are always a bit inscrutable and honestly always make things difficult. personally i rationalise it as more of he sent them away from Bert than to his mother. maybe he had the vague understanding of what it’d do but exactly why he did it was different, which idk, makes all the difference to me. 

but i do appreciate what the ending was trying to show, even if I personally don't think it was the best, i do appreciate eren’s vulnerability, his last talk with armin broke me, and appreciate that jean is okay, levi is okay, and he got to see everyone else again. i’m also kinda appreciative of the bird symbolism though i don’t think it’s any more than that...also it makes me think that poor eren, he’s burdened with Glorious Purpose & like it’s not gonna stop until he’s dead, right :/ also was under no illusions that it was gonna be a happy ending and everyone would be satisfied somehow or another so eh. I do wish that some things were done differently, I would have done some things differently, but also I acknowledge the constraints of the medium and I think some nuances didn't come across/writing could be tighter. maybe we’ll see when the anime comes out, if some of us stick around that long.

also my monkey brain is choosing to fixate on little, abstract things like oh, armin looks so cute with his hair slicked back...so kudos for that and maybe there’s some hamfisted thing about telling the story...giving it meaning...like horatio? maybe? lol goodnight sweet prince eren...i AM overthinking it probably. anyway if you think about it, it’s the death of the author (ie Barthes) and meaning is created not just when it’s encoded in the text, but when we read and experience it -- which gives us some leeway as to how we interpret the whole series, if you’d really like. so this is my outlook:”)

ok this has turned out longer than i expected and is undercut by actually a lot of salt ahh and i actually have a whole sort of treatise on it! but i think i am a bit emotionally exhausted because i always care too much so i think i'll take a break before I get back to prompts, sorry...

anyway what i mean to say is if you made it this far thank you & that i’m interested to hear what people think! so come send in the ask or reply to this - and feel free to disagree etc but let’s be peaceable about it:)

[mr-blake]

Brick, Mordecai, Tina, Hammerlock siblings, and August for the ask thingy if you want? :~D

holy hecK ohboiohboiohboi

ALSO I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET TO AAAHH

but here we go

Brick:

First impression: big funny chara in a duo dynamic, possibly recurring rival? heart of gold. too brief an appearance. (tftbl is what opened the door to borderlands for me so ye ckxbdk)

Impression now: Best Big Boi. Heart of gold. He's as full of muscle as he is full of love. I'd die for him. For the love of god let him have a dog that lives.

Favorite moment: Ohhh too many god. Like all of the commander lilith dlc. The whole "no one's ever said that to me before...I LOVE YOU MAN!!" Just. All the moments. There's also some bits at the end of the normal story of BL2 that are gold bUT one's a dirty joke so im hushity.

Idea for a story: iii got a fic/animatic idea that's been bonking around in my head for a while. It's mostly story that fills in between the gaps of the first and second bl games.

Unpopular opinion: pfbbbtt i cant rlly think of one except that he, along with the rest of the original vault hunters don't get enough love in the fandom? Granted, that's been like. Changing lately with BL3 coming out n the new Commander Lilith DLC finally being enough of a push to get some folks in the fandom lovin him.

Favorite relationship: well, obviously i ship him and mordy, but that relationship being golden is a given, so imma say the paternal bond he's got developing with Tina bc it's so fucking wholesome and sweet and also rlly funny bc they are both balls of chaos.

Favorite headcanon: oohh there's a lot of good ones. but rn the fave i can think of atm is that he has an actual living dog in bl3 bc it's what he deserves and it could very well just be missing a leg. Let him have a dozen dogs or more plz. Let the puppers be bffs with Talon too.

Mordecai:

First impression: tall scrawny mc-pointy beardy guy in a funny lil duo dynamic. Thinks he's rlly cool, and sounds like he practices things he says to people to try and make other people think he's cool but he's wearing a blanket wrapped around him like a toga shirt thing does he have back problems wonder if that works. his interactions with muscle man are adorable and cute plz tell me we can see more of them this is too brief of an appearance come back. (again, tftbl was my intro to bl, so find my happy surprise that he n brick were in all the rest of the bl games cjxkcb)

Impression now: tired bird grandpa with a heart of gold. he's the sweetest, most caring lad. I stan him so much he's such a great dad, he deserves better im so happy he's recovering. i love his sense of humor. i love his birds. he deserves happiness and the world and his b team family. i love him i love him i love him i love h-

Favorite moment: uNGH all of them. He has so many good moments, in and outside of the games. But rn imma just say the whole of the Commander Lilith dlc bc that was chock-full of Grade A Mordy content, from sweet and wholesome to rlly funny.

Idea for a story: Aaaalll my fic/art/animatic ideas basically. im kind of a gremlin when it comes to my ideas for some reason, but like it's hard to explain them without basically infodumping a summary of some big fic idea i have. But uH ig with my latest lil art comic i did?? it def involves my idea with which Mordecai and Roland first encountering Tina when she was little bc Dad Time™️.

Unpopular opinion: iiiiii rlly am not a fan of how a lot of the fandom has basically stuck him with the personality of Old Drunk™️ bc uH. For one, he's not anymore. He's recovering. And two, he wasn't always like that and people need to take note that for the duration of the main BL2 storyline, he was at one of the lowest points of his life which led him into falling deeper and deeper into alcoholism and being actually rather out of character for himself. So like. Commander Lilith DLC was a good glimpse at Mordy being presented more in character than ever. Not the other way around.

Favorite relationship: Besides the obvious of him being married to Brick and being a dad to Tina bc i adore that a lot and they are def faves, i;;;; rlly love his bonds with Lilith and also esp Roland. Like,,,, outside of the game,, mordy n roland have had some adventures and how they click and connect with each other is rlly interesting and fun and also a big thing i wanted to explore in one of my bigger fic ideas cjdbfkfb.

Favorite headcanon: he's a great friggin dad?? but like. that's canon. i have. a lot of hcs for him. I'd have to make a whole ass post just for him with those tbh.

Tina:

First impression: gremlin child

Impression now: chaos with a heart of gold (yes they all have hearts of gold chdbdkb). she's been through a lot and the whole chaotic persona she's built up seems to be a way to cover up a lot of the pain and suffering she's gone through. iiiim hype she's teamed up with her dads and she better be mcfuckin having these parents stay alive or ill die.

Favorite moment: the whole of the Commander Lilith DLC, but also the butt stallion mission that led to the origins of bl3's b team.

Idea for a story: same fic ideas ive mentioned before cjfjxkcb

Unpopular opinion: i am definitely critical with how various aspects of her character are portrayed, but that's on bad/problematic writing on gearbox's part so i kinda just. ignore those. like im sure a lot of folks who enjoy her character do.

Favorite relationship: her and all of her dads. im a sucker for found family

Favorite headcanon: it was both roland and mordecai who first found her which is why after roland's passing that she's protective of mordy. bc it was only roland and mordecai who knew her full story and had been trying to fill in paternal roles for her after the trauma of what hyperion did. and like hell she's going to lose another parent again.

also aHHH im soRRY I would do all but im such a rambler fbdkxBcfkb i hope just these 3 for this post is okay?

Small Talk-Coin

Also on ao3

Day 4: Opportunity/Chance/Risk

-----

~Caffeine, small talk

Wait out the plastic weather

Mmhmm, uh uh, discussing current events~

Hizashi sat across from an extraordinarily hot man that asked him on a date to a coffee shop. Hizashi could hardly believe it, especially given how stand-offish the man was when Hizashi first started talking to him.

"It's pretty rainy out, isn't it?" Hizashi said, feeling the sweat on his palms as he took a sip of the coffee he got, and that's when the floodgates opened. "You know, Earth isn't the only planet to have rain. Well, it's pretty much the only planet that actually rains water-water is pretty much exclusive to Earth, unless you count the frozen water on planets like Venus and Mars. There's also frozen water on the moons of planets, but that's pretty much exclusive to moons near the gas giant planets. Actually, both Neptune and Uranus are said to have water-though it's apparently supercritical, which I think basically means that it flows, like, really, really fast. But, yeah, rain-you know it rains diamonds on both Neptune and Saturn? And then Venus rains sulfuric acid. Oh! You know how Jupiter's Great Red Spot is because of a giant storm? Well, there's something similar on Saturn called the Great White Spot, which is the area of a huge storm that has so much lightning that the area looks white from space. Actually, the planets in general have a lot of storms. But, you know, weather doesn't just happen on the main planets-it also happens on moons, like Saturn's moon, Titan? It rains methane there, to the point where it actually heavily mimics the water cycle here on Earth, and..."

It then dawned on Hizashi that he was probably talking way, way too much. He paused and looked towards his date-Shouta, who was staring attentively at Hizashi.

"Uh..." Hizashi found that he was much too embarrassed to keep rambling on about the weather in outer space.

"Aren't you an English teacher?" Shouta asked.

"Oh! Yeah! I am," Hizashi grinned sheepishly. "But I talk a lot with some of the other teachers, and the Astronomy teacher, Mx. Thirteen, has been rambling about the weather on other planets and moons lately-I think they’re mostly just trying to get their lesson plan together, and they feel a lot more confident about it when they've hashed out the information to someone who doesn't really know anything about what they're talking about. I honestly can get that-it's pretty difficult to make sure that the material you give is going to be understood. It just so happens that I've retained some of the information regarding his lesson plans, so I guess it's kind of been of the brain lately.”

~I'll take my time

I'm not the forward thinker

You read my mind

Better to leave it unsaid

Why can't I leave it unsaid?~

Shouta managed to ask out the incredibly attractive teacher who was his co-worker and who taught his son. While Shouta was somewhat resistant to do so, Hitoshi insisted, citing that he couldn't stand the two ogling each other every time they saw each other.

Shouta found a coffee shop to be a simple, nice first date that they could go on to actually talk to each other outside of a work environment, and Shouta was starting to get the suspicion that Hizashi had a tendency to ramble when he was nervous.

Now, Shouta didn't really have any problem with the amount Hizashi was talking. In fact, it was very soothing to listen to-Hizashi had a very nice voice.

What Shouta did have a problem with is that he didn't want Hizashi to be so nervous on this date. It was supposed to be causal, nice, and low-pressure, and Hizashi looked like he was in a place that was excruciatingly formal, terrible, and high-pressure.

It was the exact opposite of the atmosphere Shouta had wanted for their date.

But how to get Hizashi to relax?

~You know I talk too much

Honey, come put your lips on mine and shut me up

We could blame it all on human nature

Stay cool, it's just a kiss

Oh, why you gotta be so talkative?

I talk too much, we talk too much~

"Ah, but I'm sure there's some stuff you want to talk about too," Hizashi interrupted his own train of thought after realizing that he was probably talking about himself a little too much. "You teach history and government, right?"

"Yeah, I do," Shouta answered.

"What's it like teaching that?" Hizashi questioned. "English has a tendency to be pretty subjective, especially when we're analyzing English literature in the more advanced courses. I guess history and government is a bit more concrete, yeah?"

"People often think that, but history and government are often more subjective than most might think," Shouta started, practically going into teacher mode. "In history, we have to use documents and stories and artifacts to tell us what happened. It's simple enough to talk about history that was ten or twenty years ago because nowadays we tend to write things down. It gets a bit muddier when it comes to thousands of years ago, where the only records we have are things that were left. However, even written history often has a bias, which can call into question the validity of a source, but, if it's the only source available to us, it can be difficult to eliminate that bias. There's also the issue of what events occurred to lead to other events. It's not always easy to tell what caused what, and there's always going to be more than one reason for an event happening. And we have similar problems with government and learning about how the government functions. There's a difference between how it's meant to function and how it actually functions. I often find that government is less a class about how the government works and more about how to participate in politics in a well-educated manner."

Now it was Shouta's turn to become embarrassed by how much he spoke. He looked down at his coffee cup.

"...Sorry, I don't usually talk that much."

~You know my type

Tightrope across the table

Mmhmm, uh huh

I can't keep holding my breath~

"No, no! It's fine. I did ask about it, after all," Hizashi grinned. Shouta might also be a nervous rambler, huh. "I can't say that I know too much about history or government other than the basics, not that I didn't pay attention in class, it's just been so long since I learned it that most of the details are kind of fuzzy. And, from what you say, it seems like the curriculum is different nowadays, so, even if I did remember everything from those classes, I'm not sure how much of the information is accurate anymore."

"Well, some things stay the same," Shouta admitted. "At this point, it's mostly going to be more minor details that we've corrected. And then, at least in the classes I teach, there's more of an emphasis on critical thinking skills and getting the students to form their own opinions about things. They're at that age where they're starting to actually think more about their political views, and I want them to come to rational decisions about what they believe in instead of simply parroting their parents.

"English is kind of similar in that regard," Hizashi responded. "At least the English literature course, and the other literature courses, as well. They're meant to teach students to analyze words. In those classes, they learn how to find the bias, the reason behind the bias, and how that bias can affect the way a piece of literature is read. So, in a way, it's teaching the kids to find bias in news articles and think critically about the way the information is presented."

~New wave, no time

Red velvet under pressure

Blah blah, green eyes

I never leave it unsaid

Why can't I leave it unsaid?~

Holy shit, Shouta was pretty sure he was in love.

"That's always a useful skill in this day and age," Shouta said without really thinking, his thoughts suddenly drifting elsewhere. Hizashi, almost sensing the drift in conversation, changed the subject completely.

"I guess we might be talking about work a bit too much. It kind of seems a little silly to go out to coffee so that we can talk outside of work and then talk about nothing except work, right? There's some kind of irony in that, I know. I could talk about some music I recently found! I don't know really know what your tastes in music are, but I've been listening to a band called Coin, and-"

Hizashi voice really was soothing. It was nice to listen to, like wind chimes on the front porch. Shouta knows he should probably be paying actual attention to what Hizashi is saying, but he's started to get lost in those emerald eyes, and Shouta is sorely tempted to kiss him.

~You know I talk too much

Honey, come put your lips on mine and shut me up

We could blame it all on human nature

Stay cool, it's just a kiss

Oh, why you gotta be so talkative?

I talk too much, we talk too much~

Would that be okay? They are on a date-it's not necessarily completely out of the question, but Shouta wondered if he would be overstepping his boundaries somewhat.

Or were kisses more reserved for when Shouta walked Hizashi back to his apartment as a goodbye?

Shouta barely registered saying something in response to Hizashi. He wasn't quite sure what he was saying, but he was pretty sure that they were words.

~Silence is golden, and you've got my hopes up

We talk too much

No hesitation, what are we waiting for?

We talk too much~

Eventually, the date ended, and Shouta did indeed walk Hizashi back to his apartment.

Hizashi started rambling again, clearly out of nervousness, which honestly didn’t weigh too well on Shouta’s conscious.

So Shouta did what he wanted to do for pretty much the whole date and kissed Hizashi.

~You know I talk too much (too much)

Honey, come put your lips on mine

And shut me up (shut me up)

We could blame it all on human nature

Stay cool, it's just a kiss

Oh, why you gotta be so talkative?

I talk too much, we talk too much~

Hizashi leaned back into the kiss, and, when they parted, they were both somewhat dazed.

At least they didn’t feel nervous anymore.

Worship of the Gods

I am all about worshiping the Gods, whichever ones you worship, however works best for you. As a pagan with adhd and chronic illnesses, my worship is sporadic at best. I do what I can, when I can, and I try to remember to stay true to myself. Even the little things, like making a certain cup of tea or lighting a candle may please the Gods. I tend to use the Wiccan holidays as devotional days, just because there are a ton of resources out there and they have a good relationship to the harvest, which is so important for like all pagans. I am not a Wiccan, I don’t have a specific path, but to me nature is divine. I worship mostly the Greek Gods, as there are a lot of resources and I like the connection they have with nature and humanity. They make mistakes, they are both good and bad, and I think they represent humanity and nature with their duality well.

So worship how you like, but give it some thought. Figure out why you want to worship that way. Remember that it is the intention that matters more than the act itself. If you pick and choose from a large variety of religions/practices, just remember some are closed to outsiders for a reason so find a different way to get the same result without intruding where you’re not wanted. 

Do your research, have intention, and be true to yourself and your beliefs. Sorry if this post makes no sense, I’m a rambler.  

[seelestia]

oh yes yes, that sounds perfect, i shall look for various buckets for all the tears you managed to gather :) /j

writers are not content churning bots and all readers need to keep that in mind! i’m sending all my loves to all the lovely writers like you in this app <3 <3 <3

what can i say, when i want something to be done i go all the way *shrugs* /lh /hj

ohhh your take on diluc is very interesting! i suppose based on his history, he does seem like the type to do that. mmm yeah he’s definitely not going to deal well with the aftermath of reader’s death. i can see him overworking himself and avoiding resting like a plague because resting means his brain will automatically think back to reader, and he can’t spiral down again. but either way, it won’t do well for his health ;(((

yesyes i love the inner turmoils in all those three scenarios for sure!!

xiao’s line “for once, Alatus doesn't think he can bear it any longer.” makes me imagine a continuation scene where he finally succumbs to his karmic debts right then and there... ;w;

kazuha’s line “Kazuha's heart is only one, but death seems to favor him so much that it keeps taking pieces of his soul little by little.” honestly broke a piece of my heart. my poor bby. he deserves so many hugs.

zhongli’s line "Even if it hurts." is just. sldkjflskjdf. i have no words, bc of course he endures, that’s just so him.

and lastly, yes - itto going through a series of emotions are so in character, cause i can totally see him not knowing what to do in the situation. from denial to anxious to desperate to anger and more denials *chefs kiss*

and the last lines for everyone’s part is just sldkfjsldf it’s like a jab to the chest (but a good kind of jab…. if that makes sense LOL)

speaking of fresh air, perhaps i should have traded one of the silent grievers for albedo. hmmm. it’s an interesting thought - how would albedo handle sadness and lost? ... ehe~ alrighty, i think i got one character i will want to put in the request for next time >:))

ps. oh gosh this got so long i'm so sorry sldfkjsldf please don't feel burdened to reply or anything i think i'm just rambling by this point aaa

- 💠

no worries, anon~ why should you apologize for rambling when i, too, am a chronic rambler myself??? (/lh) let's nerd out together !! 🤧

i feel like when someone sends the same request to several writers, it's to see which writer will get their request out the fastest, perhaps??? and that thought is messed up because writers and content creators are not robots :( thank you, anon, i'm always getting crushed by your love !! <3 (/g)

diluc our beloved... he has already done this once when his father passed and now that his lover is gone, he's resorted to the same pattern again? old habits die hard, they really do. hoyoverse and their love for making characters experience loss (/j)

AND OML. you specifically picked out your favorite part?!?! help, i have reached the peak of my bucket list as a writer??? i'm flopping on the ground like a fish fjwkfkkesd (/pos)

and yes, there's a reason the last lines are italicized~ they were supposed to be like an epiphanic jab somewhat? i have a weird habit of making the last lines hit the most like i just had to. 🤌

ooo, albedo? ah, yes, yet another silent griever who isolates himself from the rest of the world 👀 albedo is well-aware of the mortality within you, the fragility of your body, the impending doom that can claim you at any second if it so wishes, he knows that. albedo has prepared for it the moment he allowed himself to fall for you — or, that's what he thought.

after you're gone, his lab in dragonspine that used to be his second home now becomes his only home. people start to wonder, does the chief alchemist not bother at all about the death of his lover? he rarely ever comes down to mondstadt these days, almost never. but here in his lab is where albedo buries himself in memories of you, knowing that you were once here, bringing him cups of coffee and accompanying him during the cold nights — and he'd rather stay here than anywhere else.

when i open requests in the future, it looks like it's guaranteed i'd see an angsty request from you >:) and with our resident chief alchemist too gasps
