PAC: What good luck is coming your way?⋆。.°•✩
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
‘I’m so lucky
I’m a star
But I cry, cry, cry in my lonely heart, thinkin’
“If there’s nothin’ missin’ in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?”’
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile 1:
Shufflemancy -
Potential Breakup Song by Aly & AJ
Best Friend’s Brother by Victoria Justice
(There’s Gotta Be) More To Life by Stacie Orrico
Discipline, Courage, Freedom, Communication, Twin Flame, Talking, Family, Plan A Vacation, Two of Air (Equilibrium), Daughter of Air, & Nine of Cups
The good luck that’s coming to your life, pile 1, is balance, confidence, and stability. Some of you could have Libra or Taurus placements. You could have had a rocky upbringing in life but it didn’t stop you from becoming the individual you are today. You could be a very loving person and have a lot to give to others. You may dim yourself down and feel that you are not all that special and often put others on a pedestal, whether that’s a family member, friend, celebrity, or partner. You need to see what’s special inside of you. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, dear. Some of you could have a very close relationship with your parents or grandparents. I’m having a vision of a little kid running to their guardian for comfort and receiving hugs. This is a message for some of you - you guys should visit your old childhood home for abundance or need to call your parents and rekindle the relationship you had with them, they miss you very much. If you have inner child wounds from your family, you need to resolve them in order to make progress. Don’t get stuck in this current phase of your life, you need to embrace change and new beginnings. I’m seeing that there is an intense connection with a romantic interest. Some of you might be in a stagnant relationship that is not benefiting you and it is hindering your growth, I think it would be best if stay single for a while. You are growing up and you are changing, that is a good thing! Some of you have a crush on someone and you are wishing to express your feelings, I see that if you talk to this person, things could actually go very well! Although, you must focus on making yourself happy first before seeking this person. Again, you need to focus on self love first. When is the last time you did something for yourself, pile 1? Make the choice today to be the hero you always needed. Be brave, pile 1. Some of you as a child might of loved the movie Starstruck and Princess Protection Program. You should watch these films to hear the messages in them, they might give you guidance. A father figure in your life may also provide clarity for what you have been feeling. Try to reflect on the relationship you had with your parents and how that results in your relationships with others. A lesson is needed to be learned at that time, once it is completed, you will notice a drastic transformation in your friendships and romantic life. You are going to be secure with who you are as a person and won’t feel the need for others to complete a part of yourself that was feeling empty. Additionally, some of you are wishing to make a bold move. Are you wishing to travel? Take a vacation? A trip to a place you always wanted to go? Now is a good time to do so. Crossroads could be an important film and may resonate with your situation.
Affirmations:
“I can accomplish what I set my mind to”
“I find the inner strength to face fear with confidence”
Tumblr media
Pile 2:
Shufflemancy -
Superstar by Jamelia
Love Don’t Cost A Thing by Jennifer Lopez
Whatever You Like by T.I
Loneliness, Love, Money, Courting, Cassette, Love Call, The Star, Ten of Water (Repletion), & Mother of Water
Your good luck charm, pile 2, is the charm of love, fortune, and gifts. There is someone who wishes to come into your life and spoil you. I feel that you are independent and successful in your endeavors. You are good with your finances and you may look high maintenance in appearance (you may own luxury, brand name items, or your style is just very prissy n pretty). You have an admirer that really appreciates how you carry yourself as an individual and has great respect for your accomplishments. I’m reminded of the lyrics from the song She Got Her Own by Ne-Yo ft Jamie Foxx & Fabolous:
“Knowin’ she can do for herself
Makes me wanna give her my wealth”
When this person approaches you, you will look at them like they’re crazy. You might even be offended when they offer you help or try to do chivalrous things. Do not block your blessing, this person can give you access to bigger career opportunities. You have to release your outdated beliefs. I understand you are trying to protect your heart and peace of mind, but how can you make progress in your desired career field without connections? Your spirit guides know you have expensive taste and that you won’t be the only one capable of funding that lifestyle. I’m getting Nara Smith and Lucky Blue Smith vibes. They are both working individuals but Lucky spoils Nara with gifts like designer bags and luxurious items. You give off WAG and video vixen vibes, pile 2. Your beauty is reminiscent of Meagan Good, Christina Milian, Lee Hyori, & Vanessa Bryant in the early 2000s. You could have received a lot of envy from others growing up and was always in the center of gossip. People’s consistent haterade being thrown at you has made you isolate yourself, you were never lonely because you had to be your own best friend. Some of the people who picked this pile were bullied growing up or had a hard time making friends. You are strong and confident but constantly having your guard up out of fear of being hurt is making you miss out on life. Princess and The Frog may be a very significant film that you need to watch. Tiana was hard working and had dreams of opening a restaurant so much that it made her miss out on having fun and spending time with other people, as well as using work as a coping mechanism to cope with her father’s death. It becomes unhealthy when you have the assumption that most people are inherently evil and focusing all your attention on work, allow yourself to make connections with others and have fun every once in a while. It won’t kill ya to take a break, money isn’t the source of all happiness. Changing your mindset would attract more positive interactions within the workplace, college, and in your interpersonal relationships. You know you have great qualities so try to showcase this when having a conversation. Also smile! You have cute facial expressions when you’re not making a RBF lol. You may have a hustler mindset because of being poor as a child but this does not reflect your current reality, pile 2. Some of you may also be pursuing an education, taking courses regarding your culture could provide you with some insight. Turn to your ancestors for strength and wisdom on making the right choices regarding love. You are divinely protected either way so misfortune is not at all in your destiny!
Affirmations:
“I know that I am never alone”
“I commit to the practice of seeing good in all things”
Tumblr media
Pile 3:
Shufflemancy -
Stereo Love by Edward Maya ft. Vika Jigulina
Electric Feel by MGMT
Who Said by Miley Cyrus
Judgment, Pride, Past Life, Ice King, Karmic Relationship, The Snake, Five of Air (Conflict), Four of Fire (Perfection), & Mother of Air
Pile 3, with the lucky girl syndrome~ I see that you will be releasing yourself from other people's expectations and instead will pursue your desires. You could have grew up in a strict household and had family members who believed that being successful, wealthy, and having good grades was more important that self expression and being "happy". Financial security was prioritized over emotions and this had left your heart cold. You could be someone who has a hard time expressing their feelings and can be quite feisty when engaging in conversations. I see that you have always wanted to be more of the rebellious one or had to be rebellious in secret. The Bratz movie could be very significant to this pile, you might relate to one of the girls or one of the Bratz is your favorite doll (Jade, Sasha, Yasmin, or Cloe). I also see The Game Plan and Herbie - Fully Loaded for some of you were your comfort movies as a child. Growing up, you might of changed your clothes after your parents dropped you off at school or got dress coded often by your teachers/principal. You could have felt insecure as a child for not being able to dress like the other kids or not being allowed to wear a makeup. You have the power, pile 3. You are no longer this child anymore, this might hurt knowing you never got to experience the same emotional fulfillment other teens/adults did as children, but the good news is you have so much time to make up for it now! Take the initiative today and write down all things you never got to do but always wanted to have and start making a list of methods you could use to make this possible. As long as you put the effort in, anything could happen! I also feel that you compete with those of the same sex. You could come across people that are catty and try to put you down for no reason. You might also have these traits yourself and you need to reflect on how you treat other people, having opinions is normal but being judgemental and making assumptions about others before giving them a chance, is not. You have to acknowledge your flaws and the triggers you have been avoiding. For example, if you know that you easily get pissed off because you grew up in a household where arguing was normalized, realize that behavior isn't healthy. Overall, the good luck that you will be receiving is in regards to your independence and self expression. Additionally, I see you perfecting your craft. Some of you enjoy fashion, science, graphic design, and/or mathematics, you could receive an award or some sort of acknowledgement for your creative ideas!
Affirmations:
"I understand that everyone has their own unique path and challenges"
"I love myself, and I see myself in everyone"
Tumblr media
Thanks so much for reading and I wish you the best of luck with whatever makes you happy in life 🍀

“You keep me awake at night,” they said, But why? How?
Piles go from up to down, pictures are drawn by me, everything is literally by me. And I do not consent to my work being used by third parties in other websites as well.
Now. Breathe in with me, and then breathe out. Picked your pile? Let’s find out what are the answers. PAC idea by @nikolaiiy btw I need to give my niece some recognition here too.
Disclaimer: This is solely for my entertainment purposes. Take only whatever you feel like it. If it doesn’t resonate, it’s okay to just drop it. 
Content warning: Mentions of sex without details. Just to let y’all know beforehand.
Decks used: Luna Cat Tarot Deck (Major Arcana), Kawaii Tarot Deck, Starcodes Astro Oracle Deck, self made decks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile 1
Hey Pile 1! Your person thinks of you as their whole world, and that you’re their source of joy and beauty. You bring colours into their lives but this person of yours but they just… Don’t know how to deal with it. See, they have a lot of conflicting thoughts, and sometimes you guys have arguments that can be pretty harsh, creating discomfort between you two. You both have legit points but sometimes it just happens. And in late nights when they’re all alone, they will be replaying the scenes, trying to see it from your point of view, trying to see how they can make it up to you if it’s their mistake.
You remind them of their childhood, probably their ideal type when they were a kid, since we have a childhood card here. They probably had a dream of dancing with their future spouse and just wanted to ask you out for a dance some day, though I have no idea how and when but yeah. Or maybe you can ask them out for a dance in the living room with some nice music playing. That would be great too!
Your person doesn’t tell you their thoughts, their fantasies they have for you cuz they’re afraid of you judging them, so there’s this fear that I’m seeing where they worry if you leave them, since you’re such an amazing person and there may be other suitors who are interested in you. They’re a sensitive person and can be slightly low in their self-esteem, questioning how someone as wonderful as you would be interested in them.
Dear Pile 1, I hope you understand that these MAY be the thoughts that goes through the mind of your person, and I wish and pray that you’ll be able to give them the assurance they need and help them little by little with their self esteem. As someone who’s been through that, personally, I know that self esteem is something that can’t be built overnight. Your person is also working on it with the Magician at the bottom of the deck. It will work if you both work together.

Pile 2
Hello Pile 2! Your person is a huuuuuge sweetheart who’s deadass thinking of getting married to you. They think of you as their whole world and just want to proceed into the next stage of life/relationship with you even in the earlier months of dating. I honestly have no idea what else to say. The cards flipped themselves out and just wanted you to know that your person loves you like there’s no tomorrow, as the Lovers and Two of Cups came out. These two cards are one of the best to pop up when there’s a love related reading and… Here they are!
Not to mention there’s also Juno, a card that talks about partnership, which further solidifies my suspicions of them wanting to marry you. They honestly can’t wait and may even practice marriage proposals inside their head. They are imagining how the lives of you two together may be, how it’s like for them to be walking into a new future with you, how it is like to achieve a common goal (family) together. 
You make them weak. The thought of you just makes them have giddy smiles all over, not giving a single care if anyone sees them looking like a starstruck fool. It makes sense tho, seeing how you’ve freed them from whatever that has been holding them back, allowing them to charge forward to pursue you.
Your person is shy to ask for the reciprocation of their feelings. It’s like… They love you a lot, and a little love from you can keep them continuing to love you more and more as the days pass by. They won’t feel defeated as long as you’re by their side. Remember to love them as much as they love you okay?
For some reason, it feels like your person has an air of authority and mystery over them? They’re probably someone who’s also authoritative at work or the more dominant person in the relationship, steering and guiding you through the ups and downs of this relationship.
Dear Pile 2, I can see your person is really reaaalllllyyyyy wanting to marry you You’ll need to remember to voice out your thoughts if you’re not interested in marriage, or you’re not ready for that yet.

Pile 3
Yo Pile 3! Not gonna lie, your pile is giving me sexy and nsfw vibes. Your person is probably someone older than you and much experienced in you in any and every way, life or even sex. This pile literally made me have that 👀 eyes cuz the cards are giving me that energy (cues KAI’s Mmmh). They wanted to do so many things to you, but they had to hold back, because they know you’re still inexperienced. They had to stop themselves from thinking about it cuz it makes them slightly upset that they got to take things slow even when they love you so much, but they’re willing to wait. They’re willing to court you. They mean it. They love you so much that they’re willing to put their wants aside.
You make them weak in the knees, they’re literally weak for you. There will be some indecisiveness on thinking where do they want to bring you, or what y’all should do for the next date, or what to eat when y’all hang out the next time. This is because they want to give you the best, not to mention that you’re always in their head. In the end, they’ll just stop being indecisive and decide that doing all of them would be the best option.
As smart as they may be, they’re always imagining scenes in their head and practicing the words they want to say to you. It’s like they have no idea how to really charm you with their words when you’re with them and they’re determined to do it better. The best way to do it? Imaginary practice. Though they still might fail cuz I have a feeling that you’re the type to act slightly different from what they expected.
Dear Pile 3, you are their source of fun, their source of joy, and they just want to achieve every single happiness and to enjoy them with you, their beloved. They just want to experience everything with you and want you by their side to be participating in their life. It’s a cute energy yet a hot one at the same time I don’t know how this is possible.
.
.

Thanks for reading until the end! Feedbacks and reblogs are appreciated!
Y’all can drop by my Instagram here if you’re interested as well! I’ll be posting different types of PACs over there in the future but will also post more here I guess lmAO

9 AND 29 AND 30 FOR THE AO3 WRAPPED
HELLO
9: ohhhhhh…… hmmmm… celltw again who is surprised but like. i swear i wrote so much for them. i def tend to choose one ship and write like 9000 things for them even tho i want to write more for others. the brainrot. u get it. they make me feel insane.
29. OH UM. HM. this is hard. i have written a LOT this year like on average more than any other year. actually in 2022 i only posted 3 things. but hm. for some reason im thinking of this: “All the time, Pac feels like a prey animal. Wide eyed, starstruck, shivering in stunning headlights as the truck comes up on him. He feels useless. There is no unlived universe where he doesn’t end up glassy eyed and limp between teeth. He has to believe this, because if there is, the question becomes: why did it happen in this one?” from this. which is like wow it's my own line but why did i hav to sit down LOL
30. u kno what this is a good question bc i feel like this year i have had a lot of surprises. i mean in general people liking my stuff and commenting is always a lovely surprise <33 and flutters eyelashes not to be SAPPY on main but. some new friends i have made thru fanfic hav been the biggest and best thing that's happened prob bc (wait this sounds rly pathetic) i don’t really um hav any friends much less ones who r into writing or mcyt or wtv i like so its been fun just chatting n stuff n doing exchanges n writing together or wtv UM YEAH

I think he also doesn't see wil as actual romantic competition because he doesn't interpret pacs excitement as actual romantic interest which makes sense because I also don't think that that's what it is.
Pac is simply starstruck and fanboying over a musician he likes. And fit is mature enough to recognise that and react to it with being supportive of pacs interests instead of getting overly possessive.
ok fitpac wilbur thoughts bc i havent seen people talk about it
lots of people (me included) thought that fit was gonna be jealous of wilbur cuz pac is such a huge fan but he wasn't really
he gave pac (genuine) advice on how to act/keep cool and reassured him. when talking to his chat he said "wilbur better log on because i promised pac he would"
bro's care for pac supersedes his jealousy, he wants pac to be happy in whatever form it takes
also it might be that he didn't see wilbur as "competition" unlike the last time his jealous streak flared up when tubbo was doing casulaonas on pac's lap. (epic, emotional maturity!)
fit is incredibly against being attached to things (just today he refused to name is parrot bc of that) so his hesitance to do anything romantic with pac could be read as mostly self-protection, but this shows that his reluctance is not just that, its also genuine care and consideration for pac, because if it was just from a self-serving place it would be optimal to sabotage pac and wilbur's potential friendship/relationship, but he didn't because he cares

Yikes! (Ben Hardy x Reader)
Summary: Reader is a journalist and has to take over an interview last minute. She has a well known reputation for being  calm, cool and collected. That is...until Ben Hardy walks through the door.
Warnings: Fluff, Cursing and lots of dirty thoughts
A/N: This is my first time writing for Ben so please take it easy one me. I run on comments and feed back so please don’t hold back. The Italics is the reader talking to herself. Enjoy!
“Hey Y/N uhh, Tommy’s wife just went into labor and had to leave. They want to know if you can do the interview instead.”
“Of course! Did he leave his questions somewhere or do i need to come with some?” You asked your assistant and best friend, Morgan. You stood from your desk and grabbed your phone shooting off a text to Tommy saying congratulations and not to worry about the interview, you had it all covered.
“Nope, got his questions right here.” Morgan said handing them to you as you walked down the hallway together towards the room the interview was being held. Being a journalist was your dream job. You had been at the company for 5 years now and you were known as the interviewer who was always calm, collected and never starstruck. Over the years you had the privilege of interviewing so many amazing actors and directors, singers and songwriters. You were always professional in a relaxed sort of way, that the person you were speaking with was very much at ease. You got many compliments from your boss about how the different celebs would go on and on about how great you were. How easy it was to talk with you and that you were definitely their favorite by far. You had become friends with many of the people you interviewed, making it even easier when they would return to talk and promote other projects.
You and Morgan entered the empty room and you took your seat in front of the camera and began to look over the questions. Tommy was great at his job but the questions he had were very generic. You did your best as a journalist to come up with questions these actors hadn’t heard and answered a hundred times before. You didn’t think Tommy would mind if you came up with some of your own. You realized you didn’t know who you were interviewing yet and stood and walked to Morgan who was looking through a bunch of papers Tommy’s assistant had passed off to her.
“Morgan, who am i talking to today?” You asked looking down at the papers in her hand.
“Uhh…” She flipped through the papers trying to find you an answer. She stopped on one page and read over it quickly before flipping to another until she found it.
“Wow okay, it’s..” She was cut off by the door opening and you boss walked it with the man you were about to interview.
“Oh Y/N perfect, this is Ben Hardy.” He said with a smile and you looked up from the papers to lock eyes with the beautiful blonde actor.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He said with a smile and stepped forward with his hand out to shake. His voice a deep and creamy tone, it wrapped around you like a warm blanket, working its way under your skin where it wreaked havoc on your insides and stole your breath.
“Yikes.” You breathed you out just barely above a whisper. Morgan, standing that close definitely head you and her head snapped over to look at you stunned. You were never at a loss, this was really something. Your head was going a million miles a minute.
My god he is gorgeous. Those eyes, what color is that? Green? No, green is to plain, their jade maybe. Like two beautiful jade stones bewitched to suck the breath and sole right out of you.
“You alright, love?” He asked, smile still in place only now with a hit on smugness to it.
Fuck me, that voice, that accent.
You shook your head to clear your thoughts and managed to pull yourself together quickly.
“Sorry, yes hi. Lovely to meet you Ben. I’m Y/N Y/L/N.” You replied with a dazzling smile. You reached your hand out to shake his still waiting one.
“My apologies my hands are a bit cold. They love to keep this building like a meat locker.” You laughed doing your best to cover up the brain malfunction you suffered a minute ago. His deep chuckle vibrated down his arm, through your connected hands and spread across your body causing you to shiver slightly.
“Nah they’re perfect.” He said closing your hand in both of his and bring them to his lips to place the softest kiss on your knuckles. You prayed to any version of god that may be listening, that Ben didn’t hear the soft whimper that managed to squeak out.
Fuckin hell why even have knees if they are just going to stop working.
He gently released your hand. A soft blush and grin spread across his face. More time then you realised must have passed as you both just stared at each other because Morgan cleared her throat and it made you jump.
“Um right ok. So Ben, i know Tommy was supposed to do this interview with you but his wife is actually giving birth as we speak so you’re stuck with me.” You laughed, shrugging your shoulders hoping to ease the tension.
“You say it like it’s a bad thing.” He replied, tilting his head sweetly to the side. You laughed nervously and tucked a piece of hair behind your ear. You glanced down trying to hide your blush before looking back up at him.
“Yes well uhh, why don’t you take a seat in front of the camera and we’ll get started.” He nodded and took the seat opposite the one you were in earlier. When you turned to look at Morgan her eyebrows were raised and she had a massive, all knowing grin on her face.
“Shut up.”
“I didn’t say anything!” She laughed.
“Yeah but you were thinking about it.” You said and took your seat across from Ben. You let out a deep breath and pretended to look through the papers from Tommy. You boss said something about Morgan handling the mics and the camera before leaving the room. Morgan handed you your mic pac and helped Ben with his.
Ok you can do this. He’s just a normal guy. An incredibly gorgeous and sweet guy but still just normal. I mean it’s not like he’s a prince or anything.
You took another deep breath and looked up. Morgan was finished with his mic and was now behind the camera giving you a thumbs up that she was ready to go.
“Ready?” You asked Ben with a smile.
“Ready.” He answered and slid his phone back into his pocket. You watched as his eyes moved from the floor, over your body slowly and finally meeting you gaze where he licked his lips and pulled the bottom one between his teeth to bite on before letting it go and a smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“Wet”
“What?”
“What!”
“I thought you said something.” He said a hint of blush covering his cheeks.
Oh my fucking god you are an idiot! Did you seriously just say that out loud!?
“Uh m..me? No...no i..i didn’t say anything.” You stumbled over yourself and looked to Morgan, your eyes wide. She had a horrified shocked look on her face. Oh she definitely heard what you said.
God just take me out back and put me out of my misery. Come on Y/N get your shit together. Deep breath. You’re a professional, act like it.
You managed to get it together and continue on with the interview without embarrassing yourself again.
“Y/N, do you mind if I run to the toilet quickly?” Ben asked after about a half an hour of questions. You shuddered at the sound of him saying your name.
“Of course, It’s just down the hall to the left.”
“I’ll be right back.” He said and let his hand brush across the length of your shoulders from behind your chair as he walked by. As soon as the door was closed behind him, Morgan jumped into his empty seat across from you, a huge smile on her face.
“Y/N oh my god!” She shreked. “I have never seen you like this before.”
“I know. I have no idea what's happening to me.” You groaned and hid your face in your hands.
“I can’t believe you said wet out loud. I mean i understand the thought because damn that boy is gorgeous and the way he was eyeing you up!” She fanned herself. “But to say it out loud!”
“Uggh stop please. I have never been so embarrassed. He’s so sweet and funny, and the way he talks. Not just the accent but the words he uses and how he carries himself. I just melt at the fuckin thought of him.”
“I wouldn’t be too embarrassed, he’s clearly into you as well.” She said and patted your knee.
“Yeah well if he is, he is doing a much better job of being subtle. I couldn't even tell you what some of his answers were. All I can think about when he talks is how amazing it would be to have him whisper into my neck all the dirty things he wants to do to me while his big strong hands run all over me.”
Morgan opened her mouth to say something but the sound of the door closing caught both of you off guard and you looked to see Ben standing by the now closed door.
“Everything alright ladies?” He asked with a smile and your entire body felt like it was on fire. You were sure your face was beat red.
Please, please, please tell me he didn’t hear any of that.
“We’re fine. I believe Y/N only has a few more questions so we should be done soon.” Morgan saved.
“Actually, That's it. The rest of these are just nonsense ones Tommy left behind.”  You said, standing at removing your mic pac. You never wanted an interview to be over so much in your life and you've interviewed some terrible people.
“So we’re done then?” Ben asked and you nodded. “Shame, I was having such a nice time.” You watched as Morgan helped him remove his mic. As she pulled the wire from under his shirt it got caught and she lifted his shirt to free it. Catching a glimpse of what was under his shirt sent your head reeling. You felt dizzy.
Well if I didn’t need Morgan to run out and get me new underwear before, i definitely do now.
You had to bite your lip to keep from moaning out loud and causing yourself to further die of embarrassment. You looked up to see Ben watching you, a red flush on his cheeks and down his neck, he was sporting a shy smile.
Morgan eyed to the two of you before she spoke.
“I’m going to go put the equipment away. Ben if i don’t see you again before you leave It was great meeting you and i hope you come back soon.” Ben managed to collect himself and turned towards her.
“It was great meeting you as well Morgan. And not to worry I will definitely be back. Even if it’s just to say hello.” He smiled in his charming way and she smiled back and left the room. He turned to look at you.
“Y/N it’s been an absolute pleasure to speak with you today. I look forward to doing it again soon.” His voice was softer than it had been all day. You could feel yourself swooning.
Don’t pass out, don’t pass out, don’t pass out.
“I loved speaking with you too. Well for your next project or when stop by to say hello, make sure you come see me. I’ll be here.” His smile widened and he opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by your boss entering the room.
“Oh good Ben, you haven't left yet. Come to my office.” He said throwing an arm over the blonde’s shoulders and pulling him from the room. Ben looked back at you and all you could do was wave and watch him walk away.
You went back to your office where Morgan was waiting for you.
“Oh my god pleeease tell me something happened after I left.” She begged the second you walked in the door. You laughed and shook your head.
“Seriously!” She groaned.
“I mean, I thought maybe he was going to say something but Max came in and took him to his office."
"Ugh that sucks. I thought for sure he was gonna ask you out or at least throw you up against the wall and make sweet, passionate love to you."
"Morgan!"
"What!?" She laughed and you cracked a smile. You really would be lost without her.
"Knock knock." Both you and Morgan jumped, her knocking the phone off your desk in the process, and turned to your open door to see Ben.
Jesus! What is with this day!?
"Ben, I uhh, thought you left." You stammered as Morgan picked your phone up off the floor and placed it back on you desk.
"I was just on my way out actually. Just wanted to say goodbye before I go." He explained, stepping into the room.
"I'm just gonna go finish some work." Morgan said gesturing towards the door before making her way over to it.
"Thank you Morgan." You said with a look. She nodded at Ben as she walked by and he smiled in reply. When she was behind him she gave you a thumbs up and a wink before closing the door.
Ben had his hands shoved deep in his pockets as he rocked on his heels, he eyes not leaving the floor. Suddenly he was a completely different person. Earlier he was this sexy, confident, slightly cocky guy and now he was shy, self conscious, almost cuddly.
“So umm.” He scratched at the back of his head. “I wanted to ask, would you uhh, maybe like to go to dinner with me some time?” Your heart was pounding in your chest.
“Really?” You asked quietly. You couldn't believe it. You had done nothing but make a fool out of yourself all day and yet here you were. He nodded, kicking his foot a little.
God he’s so cute.
“I'd love to.” His head snapped up a shocked expression on his face.
“Yeah?” He asked, hopeful.
“Yeah, of course.” He let out a breath and a huge, shining smile took over his face.
Ugh that smile. Kill me.
“That’s...that’s great.” He gushed. “How desperate would i seem if I asked if you were free tonight?” He smirked. You laughed and smiled at him.
“Not desperate at all and im totally free."
"So dinner tonight then?" He asked, taking a small step closer.
"Dinner tonight." You confirmed. He reached into his pocket and passed you his phone to put your number in.
"I'll text you in a bit, time and place." He said now standing much closer. You entered your number and handed the phone back to him. You hands brushed his and you felt sparks shot up your arm.
"Sounds good." He smiled softly and leaned in to press a tender kiss to your cheek, one hand laid gently on your hip. The feel of his strong hand on your hip sent waves of heat washing over your entire body. Before moving away he whispered into your skin.
“I’ll see you later, love.”
Oh great. Nice subtle way to tell me you definitely hear me earlier.
He pulled back and sent a wink your way before walking to the door. He turned and gave you one last smile before leaving. You yelled for Morgan to come in after he was far enough away.
“I know, I know.” She said excitedly running into your office. “ I heard everything! I left your desk phone on intercom so i could listen in from my desk.”
“Morgan!”

Andrew Robinson, Cary Nord, Todd Nauck, Tim Townsend, and Chris Bachalo are all comic book artists. They've each worked on a lot of different stuff, though Tim Townsend has worked on some of my favorite X-Men comics and Chris Bachalo has worked on the Death series in the Sandman comics. There were several other comic artists there too (Mark Bagley, Lary Stucker, Dan Fraga, Shawn Crystal, Jason Shawn Alexander, etc.) and I got to chat with them as well :)
Tait Fletcher is an actor who played Paz Vizsla in the Mandalorian among other roles. He's a really cool guy in real life too! Lots of friendly competition and ribbing over that Pac-Man game lol
Tony Daniels is a voice actor who's played just about every animated Gambit there is, plus roles in a TON of other animated shows. He's also the voice of the new Tony the Tiger after Thurl Ravenscroft passed away! Also a super cool guy irl, I had to decline an autograph since I didn't have the budget to spend 40 bucks on it but we had a really nice conversation and he seemed genuinely sorry that he couldn't sneak me an autograph past the convention security/employees
Chris Bartlett is a propmaker and actor who's worked on a lot of recent Star Wars movies and shows. He plays a lot of protocol droids (like C3P0) and he got his start with a suit he built himself! He was really encouraging and friendly and asked to see the prop hand I built for my cosplay :D
Overall all of the guests I talked with were really friendly and engaged, and I got to have a lot of really great conversations (and video game contests, of course). I think it's mainly because it was a smaller convention, so they still had the social battery to chat and weren't flooded with starstruck fans when they got up for a break (I myself am a big fan too, but I kept my cool and I think that's part of how I got to hang out with them a bit more - I can appreciate their body of work without reducing them to their body of work)
some highlights from the convention this weekend:
forgetting to check nametags and ending up playing pinball against Andrew C. Robinson
... having a rematch the next day.
... and the next.
him asking about my SFX makeup - a conversation which ended in him following me on Instagram
and encouraging Cary Nord to follow me as well
1.29% of all my Instagram followers are now made up of Marvel comic artists (I do not have a lot of followers)
Andrew giving me a bunch of extra prints and a couple art books at the end of the con
and offering to network me with some of his propmaking and wardrobe friends in LA since I'm working on getting into the special effects industry
dare I say we're friends now?
setting a new high score on the Venom pinball machine
getting to chat with my theatre friend who was an invited panelist (he's a cosplayer)
competing in my first cosplay contest! I lost, but I got to show off my mechanical hand prop
meeting Tait Fletcher
watching my sister beat Tait Fletcher's high score on Ms. Pac-Man
...then watching him utterly crush her score in one attempt
receiving a very wonderful film-tech pep talk from Chris Bartlett, urging me to keep making props and just dive in since that's how he ended up on Star Wars
he also complimented my Donald Pierce hand :)
meeting Tony Daniels and geeking out about X-Men
didn't have the budget to drop 40 bucks on an autograph but it was really awesome to talk to him
getting signed prints from Tim Townsend, Andrew Robinson, and Todd Nauck
Tim Townsend's print is the OG 5 X-Men so it's got my boy Angel of course :D
getting to play a super neat indie platformer demo (i'm gonna buy the full game for sure)
freaking out a bunch of comic artists with my Corinthian makeup
....including Chris Bachalo
HE asked for a picture with ME because he was so impressed with the makeup! :)
chatting with more comic artists, showing off my tattoo, chatting about the process of sketching and inking
picking up some neat Venom and X-Men earrings
winning a cool articulated snake from this 3D printing claw machine
getting to chat with some really cool craftsmen and collectors at the vending booths
overall just having a really wonderful time!

hey! i might ask for another thing soon, since i'm still a bit new to kinning.. but could i get headcanons for hajime and chiaki, who were pretty close friends? i don't really have any specific memories yet.. but playing video games on old arcade machines sounds familiar, and i think about it a lot. thanks so much, sorry if it's too vague !!;
while that is super vague, i think i can come up with a couple of things! so they won’t be under a cut like i normally do with headcanons, there’s just gonna be a couple of cute ideas n stuff i thought of when reading that!
SO yeah arcade machines are cool! y’all really liked ‘em
and i get this feeling that you two really enjoyed frogger
definitely swearing at the screen every time u died ingame
well that was mostly hajime, probably
chiaki wld fly thru the levels like no other
hajime was always starstruck by that, and whenever chiaki wld finish the game entirely (by glitching it out by reaching past the final level) she’d get big hug
and this big hug was very snuggly
but platonically snuggly
and another game they liked was pac-man
hajime was actually rly good at this one
he could get rly far into it but still couldn’t get to the final level and glitch it out like chiaki always would
and maybe, just maybe chiaki found it cute when he’d lose all his lives early on when he had a little bit of a bad streak
and she’d laugh her quiet laugh and he’d grumble 
but we all know he doesn’t mind being laughed at by chiaki
bc they’re like best friends
a little longer than i expected it to be!!! but that’s just bc of how i write the headcanons i think!
i hope these are good and help you remember more things!! and do feel free to come back for another request!!

kansas has so many talented dancers like caroline phelps and the scifres twins are both from kansas originally, and there’s so many other good dancers like evie richard, ava curbow, trinity baker, and sophia mestan
also so many other talented dancers from starstruck pac, premier, perception, and other studios
I do agree!

Joey wishes it was some punk ass thug. If it were, he could just deck them. But it's not. She's a sweet girl, the duelist who's joined them at the arcade, but Joey can see it. Can't Yuugi see it?! How loudly she laughs, how long she keeps eye contact? How she has the nerve to lick her rosebud little lips and rest a hand on his thigh, *knowing* Yuugi is spoken for? Does she think Joey's playing? Does he gotta get in her face and say, "He's mine," in those words exactly? He's this close.
Uh oh! Your character is watching mine get hit on and is feeling possessive. How does your character handle this?
@luckyredeyes
It had been fun at first, meeting another duelist who truly loved the game and didn’t talk about challenging Yuugi the second they met. Even asking to play a few rounds with them at the arcade. Sure, she’s excited, maybe a little starstruck but Yuugi tries not to let it bother him. It’s not like it’s the first time he’s had a girl acting that way (which still confuses him). It isn’t as forward as Vivian Wong had been years ago, which was something he actively tried to push from his mind. Even Rebecca had just been one of those kiddie crushes that was awkward but Yuugi had tried to downplay. 
It occurs to him halfway through another round of Pac-Man when she brushes up against him that he’s never quite figured out what to do with the attention. He doesn’t want it. Not like this. Especially not now that he’s in a relationship. Yuugi knows he’s always been too nice. The gentle segways or deflections go ignored. 
Wasn’t it clear they were when she came in? Yuugi can feel something in the air, and it’s in the way Joey moves. The glances he catches when he looks at her. He can’t pretend he doesn’t notice. She’s made it a point to sit next to him instead of across from them while they try to eat lunch. 
Yuugi stiffens at the hand on his thigh, scooting away. This is the last straw. What pisses Yuugi off the most is it’s all under the guise of being nice and friendly to take advantage of someone else’s kindness. So that if he rejects her she can try to manipulate the situation. He’s seen that before. 
“Okay, that’s enough,” Yuugi interjects, completely dropping the conversation. 
“Enough of what?” Her bewildered pout doesn’t fool him. 
Yuugi gives her a pointed look, “Stop trying to flirt with me, and don’t touch me. It’s not cute, it’s just rude.” 
He’s rarely been this blunt, but some things get under his skin.
