Does anybody else remember minecraft spring a majig

[cheerstotheelites-if]

Ohh the sweet sweet one sided pining... I can't miss it! Can I ask for "knowing that they would never love you back and yet not stopping to pour out your love for them" with my cutest boi Weylyn?❤

Prompt list thing a majig—

Ah, Kal! Hello!!! ^^

Prompt under the cut as usual, my friend!

~•~•~

Jenny, darling,

You're my bestfriend,

There's a few things,

That you don't know about,

[…]

I wanna ruin our friendship,

We should be lovers instead.

- Jenny, Studio Killers

~•~•~

"Thanks, Weylyn." MC smiles at him as they carried a stack of papers, the smile that Weylyn's mind would loose itself over. His cheeks warm almost immediately, and he cracks a smile of his own. He nearly trips over himself and drop the papers as he did.

He's helping MC again, as usual. It's a habit of his, being their neighbor too and all. The two have known each other for years, starting of as new neighbors to eventually becoming close friends. For Weylyn, it formed into something more than that. Feelings grow and bloom like flowers in spring. His heart would race, his stomach would flutter, cheeks warm, and words sputter out like a broken record whenever MC looks at him for even just a second.

A boy in love he has become for them.

"Y-you're welcome!" He says, smile wobbly and crooked as his fluster grew. "Happy to help as always."

But MC's focus shifts somewhere else when a certain person walks by. It's ever-so-perfect Fleur with her sharp eyes and elegance. She doesn't spare either him nor MC a glance as she soundlessly walks past them, yet MC watches her. They look back again on the path before them with a goofy smile on their face and a small skip to their step.

Weylyn's own smile falters a bit as he sees MC become a flustered little mess at their crush passing by.

Of course MC would fall for Fleur. Who wouldn't? She's everything everyone aspires to be and with a beautiful complexion to match. Weylyn is just ordinary—average.

"So, you like the Vice President?" His mouth ends up asking, an ache forming in his chest.

MC visibly tenses, their cheeks growing more flushed as they glanced at him. "Was it that obvious?"

"Well, yes." The President chuckles faintly, though goes unnoticed. Unfortunately. "I'm curious to know why. Fleur doesn't even look interested in you."

"I mean, that's true." MC admits, their smile growing a bit sad.

"Then, why fall for someone who doesn't like you?" A bold question coming from Weylyn. "There might be someone out there who, you know, likes you."

MC lets out a small laugh. "And who would that might be?"

"I dunno." Weylyn shrugs. "Could be someone close to you." He hesitates for a moment. Gods, Weylyn, are you really going to risk it? "Like me," he finally says, hoping MC would atleast take the hint. All the time he spent on them, the heart eyes that go unnoticed, the love he would pour out onto them and never ceasing, the aches in his chest whenever MC's eyes shift onto someone else. Gods, he wants to scream, to shout that he, Weylyn Rutherford, is in love with them.

But he can't ruin this; this friendship he cultivated with MC for years. This relationship he wants to keep close to his heart forever. He wants for things to be as they are, but his feelings have reached his limits and he aches for something more.

Love is it's name.

He wants to hold them, kiss them, tell them that he is theirs and hear them whisper that they are his. Feel his hands hold theirs while lovingly look into their eyes.

MC stares at him with an unreadable expression, silence hanging over them quickly in their walk. Oh gods, did he say it at the wrong time? Does MC think he's a creep now? Did he ruin everything in just two words? A nervousness runs through him, crawling up his spine and tensing his shoulders.

"I mean it as a joke." Weylyn quickly adds with a forced smile before MC could say anything. "Anyway, we should hurry before Professor Thrillbury scolds us for being late again."

"Ah, crap, you're right." Whatever emotion MC has in their eyes vanish as they quickly speedwalk down the halls with Weylyn in tow, replaced by the urgency of their situation.

A sigh leaves Weylyn and he sucks in another breath as another ache forms in his chest.

"This is fine…" He mutters to himself reassuringly. "What you have with MC is already enough…"

And it is.

He loves them too much. He doesn't know what will happen to him to have them gone with his overflowing unrequited love.

It's painful, but he rather be in pain than let MC experience any of that.

Look I Made A Thing ... My Academia Aesthetic Favs

I was just playing around and procrastinating, so I decide to create this silly little share-a-majig about my connection to academia aesthetics.

See, I am still a fan of the academia aesthetics, despite a lot of people criticizing them. So I thought I'd share some of my favorite things and traits that I associate with my 4 favorite variations on the aesthetic: Dark, Light, Chaotic and Art.

Some of my favorites are very much "on brand" for academia, but I also wanted to share treasures that I think are very much a part of the aesthetic but rarely get mentioned in memes. And maybe others will see that the aesthetics aren't static, but can be shaped to your own personality and perspective.

Feel free to share yours by either reblogging and adding them, or by creating your own post telling us all about your favs.

25 days of Kiersey content Thing A Majig: gifts quindo gets each other (my brain went 5+1 but you're a busy writing human so do whatever you want)

Oh, Rachel. You never fail to enable my Quindo heart. This is a lovely prompt, and I will now take you through a holiday gifting journey over the course of ten or so years of Quinn and Nando’s lives. I’m going to write this 5+1 style “as” myself, so it’s me telling you five stories about five different presents— and then I have an actual written ficlet for the last one, because I couldn’t resist. This is half Quindo holiday content and half Quindo lore. I regret absolutely nothing.

Without further ado, as you requested: five gifts Quinn and Nando get for each other over the years, and one gift that’s given to them by somebody else.

1. freshman year

The first thing you should know is that Quinn and Nando have only been dating for about a month by the time the end of the semester rolls around. Okay, wait, actually, it’s five weeks. But still. It’s not a huge amount of time. And they keep going back on forth on whether or not they want to do presents for the holiday before they leave campus, or if they want to mail them to each other. In the end, they decide to give each other gifts in person, because they’re both excited.

The gift I’m focusing on here is Quinn’s to Nando for that first year, but I will now pause to tell you what Nando gets Quinn freshman year. Because they’re about to go on winter break, Nando is concerned with making sure, to the best of his ability, that Quinn takes care of himself and relaxes while he’s “home” in Michigan, and so he makes a little box of things to help with that— some good teas for stress relief, fuzzy socks, a face mask that Ben helps him pick out (the skincare kind, not the pandemic kind…), and probably also a mug. In other words, Nando continues to be boyfriend of the year. It’s really thoughtful, and put together with Quinn’s relaxation in mind, and all in all it just makes Quinn really happy. Yes, he drinks that tea all through winter break. Yes, it makes him think of Nando every time. Yes, he’s completely soft and mushy about it, because one month into the relationship, Quinn is still in awe that he somehow has a real, live, actual college boyfriend.

But anyway, on to the main point of this section, which is Quinn’s gift to Nando that first year. I think I’ve actually mentioned this before, in passing, in a few things I’ve written. What Quinn does for Nando that first Christmas is this: he knits him a scarf, and also a matching winter hat. They’re both made of really soft burgundy-maroon-ish yarn, and although I don’t know about knitting patterns, I’ll tell you that I imagine Quinn uses a good one so that the stuff is nice and cozy. Quinn thinks that dark red is Nando’s color— which, honestly, it is; he looks handsome in it— and so he fully projects this onto the color he chooses to do the scarf and hat in.

This is touching for Nando, because a.) it’s handmade and Quinn spent a lot of time on it, and b.) scarves are kind of part of Quinn’s brand. By receiving a homemade scarf from Quinn, Nando feels like he’s wearing a part of him. And here’s a true, fun fact for you all: from the moment he receives that first scarf (which is most definitely not the last scarf Quinn knits for him), Nando wears a Quinn-made scarf with his suit each and every time he has to dress up for a game. And usually also a hat. For all their spring semester games freshman year, he wears the Christmas scarf. He looks very handsome. Quinn is very pleased with himself, since this was pretty much his main objective with the gift in the first place.

The other 4 gifts and the +1 ficlet are in the ao3 version of this!
