Seeing a lot of fics already about Buck quietly exploding over the Texas news or Eddie confronting him over how supportive he’s being, but someone needs to write the fic where Eddie fully intends for Buck to move with him and assumes Buck knows and is blown away by how understanding Buck is being and how willing he is to leave LA for a bit. But Buck does not know that. And just a mass of miscommunication where Buck is spiraling and Eddie is like of course Buck is helping me pick OUR house

heyyy! can i request “i’m scared of losing you” (from angst1) with oscar piastri?
❝ i’m scared of losing you ❞ — oscar piastri
pairing | oscar piastri x reader
content warnings | lots of miscommunication, angst, comfort, happy ending
★ JOIN MY SHORT N SWEET FRIENDSGIVING !
─────────────────────────
it had been a few months since you last attended a race due to your job obligations but in oscar’s eyes he only saw it as one thing; you’ve missed him winning a race, twice now.
in his eyes he thought you may no longer love him that he wasn’t worth enough for you. however, in your eyes you believed he no longer loved you especially due to his lack of presence in your life and never asking you to join him for a race weekend in months. both of you afraid to lose each other didn’t touch on the subject and living as if everything is okay.
until it wasn’t.
“i may not win another race this season but i would appreciate your support! you weren’t there for my two wins and i…i’m tired of this,” oscar argued back, you had both gone out to dinner in monaco after he returned from singapore. it started with a sweet conversation of what to do for the break to now bitter comments towards each other.
“tired of what? of me? i’m trying, oscar. i just started my third year of university and then work—.”
“work! it’s always work this work that. they always need you for something even though it’s not even in your title to do all that! you drop everything to be there for them but you can’t be there for me not even once…baby?” his mean words hit you immediately and you sit on the couch of your apartment hands covering your face as you sob uncontrollably.
“baby, yn…hey, hey breathe with me. it’s okay i’m here” oscar whispers on your ear, both arms cradling you now. was it okay? his approach may not have been the best but he wasn’t wrong. your job had been putting too much on your plate when you were meant to just be an underpaid intern who was doing multiple jobs that were not your responsibility.
“but you aren’t here, osc. i…i know that your career is demanding but you didn’t take a second to look back and realize i ease being left behind. i feel guilty i wasn’t there for your two wins especially your first. i begged my job to let me just visit you for a day to celebrate but they made me stay. it wasn’t even my day to work and i still stayed. i chose a job that doesn’t value me over you…you do care about me maybe not right now—.”
“i’m gonna stop you right there. i’m an idiot who didn’t bother asking how you��ve been recently and expecting you to support me more when i didn’t see what you’d been going through. i’m so sorry,” he whispers, his forehead pressed against yours kissing your tears away.
you whisper out five words you’d been feeling for awhile now, “i’m scared of losing you,” closing your eyes ready for oscar to say you’ve already lost him, “i’m scared too.” his voice matches your vulnerability.
opening your eyes looking at him in shock, “you are?” you felt like you were both taking a big step in admitting this. maybe, just maybe this would help in repairing your relationship.
“i am. i think we’ve been selfish towards each other but we also haven’t communicated right. i should have asked you more about how the job was treating you-,”
“i should have asked you how the team had been treating you.” you counter back and he chuckles.
“i know you want to be independent when it comes to your career. but i think you should quit that job and focus on school only. i know you don’t want me to take care of you financially but just let me do that for now until you graduate and find a job that will value the skills you have. i can’t lose us. i can’t lose you, yn. i love you.” his words filled with nothing but love, oscar meant well and for once you decide to take him up on the offer he’d been giving you since you started dating two years ago.
“okay.” a simple word replacing your frown into a smile on each others faces. there was work to do on your communication with each other but for now you both got to breathe a sigh of relief after facing a fear that would no longer happen.

Dating Tom Kaulitz would include…
Part 2 <3
fem!reader
warnings: mentions of sex
- he’d for sure be bad at all this romantic stuff at first
- he knows how to fuck but not how to communicate
- or how to be intimate other than sex
- leaving you guys in miscommunication a lot
- which results in a lot of fights
- but he’ll learn quickly (if you show him how it’s done right)
- so many cheesy gifts after fights
- like a huge bouquet of flowers and a little note where he apologizes standing in front of your door
- or he’ll take you shopping and buy you everything you want
- when your sad he’ll kiss you everywhere and tell you sweet nothings to make you feel better
- or will behave like a total idiot to make you laugh
- apology sex!!!!!
- will fuck you into forgiving him
- when dating for a long time he’ll mention you in almost every interview
- loves to make fans jealous by holding your hand or wrapping his arm around your waist in public
- shows you around like a trophy
- wouldn’t even bother making out with you infront of fans
- like mentioned in part 1, Bill would make him apologize to crying fans because he bragged to much
- will lend you every hoodie he has
- they are massive on you and he’ll definitely make fun of how small you look in them
- he’d be the kind of guy to wear your hair tie around his wrist during concerts and interviews
- will point at you when your in the crowd
- “That’s my girlfriend, hi schatz!!”
- will play something on the guitar when you both just hang out
- will learn your favorite songs
- will lay his head on your lap during it
- loves when you hum along
- his love language is definitely gift giving
- so expect getting gifts from him very very often
- he tries to be tough around people but when you two are alone he’s like a huge teddy bear
let me know if you want a part 3 <3

Done with Anger, jokes and jibes now let me be the adult that i am. So today's race went relatively ok for Ferrari BUT there were a lot and I mean A LOT of fuck ups. They could have both drivers on the podium if the team wasn't too incompetent. The miscommunication between both drivers started from the pit wall (cause they're not talking to each other duh). The absolute shit show that was Carlos's pit stop. All that is completely on Ferrari YET we have Leclerc being an idiot on radio, talking like Carlos was the one who did everything wrong. HE is the reason his stupid fans came running to abuse Carlos instead of holding ferrari accountable. HE doesn't know how to be a professional, he constantly says stupid things in public and his even stupider fans take them as gospel's truth. Only if he could just stop and think what's really going on and where things really went wrong. Or he could just wait till the debrief and not spout nonsense to the media then he can actually control the narrative (which is something he really wants). And that way we don't have to defend Carlos from lecfosi even when he didn't do anything wrong but alas!!!!
We have to write fucking essays explaining the simplest things for lecfosi. God the amount of tweets I have seen by Carlos fans telling lecfoso what LICO is and why is it necessary in a track like Mexico gave me headache. Even today, Carlos fans were posting all the radio msg to explain why Carlos let Charles a bit late cause he wanted to pit and get out of his way but the team wasn't pitting him. Even then he eventually let him by and got his pit stop absolutely wrecked. They took his chance to be P2, Carlos should have been fuming at the radio or after the race in interviews but he wasn't cause HE'S A GODDAM PROFESSIONAL and knows when to say what. Why can't sour puss be like that? be an adult and deal with things in a mature way. No I'm not saying he can't get angry but MF has to understand WHOM he should get angry on.

do you have any good bartylus thoughts
i alwayssss have good bartylus thoughts. recently been thinking about bartylus and infidelity. in my true version of bartylus they never really define their relationship. they hook up, they’re best friends, none of it means anything, except it means everything. so they’re never “dating” per se and therefore technically they can’t be unfaithful to each other. except barty knows who he is to regulus. in his mind regulus is the only thing that’s holding him down. and he knows that in order to be what he needs to be for regulus he has to choose him always above everyone. this isn’t to say he wouldn’t sleep with other people or even be in a relationship with someone else, it’s more so that he’d drop anyone immediately for regulus. if regulus asked him to only be with him, he would. <- and i think this is what regulus wants BUT he can’t ask for that. he loves the power he holds over barty even if he doesn’t realize it but he’s too afraid to define them. because if they’re something it’ll hurt so much more if barty leaves. sooooo it’s a whole miscommunication thing. regulus is stuck being hurt by barty being with other people and barty has no idea. i think regulus probably sleeps around a lot to make himself feel better or to get back at barty but barty will never care about it like regulus does because he’s just devoted devoted devoted. if regulus needs to sleep with other people, he can live with that. and it pisses regulus off to no end that barty will never get jealous or possessive in the way he wants him to. basically, they’re doomed always 🫶🏻 and it’s sirius’ fault.
#sorry i’m rambling idek if this makes sense#but i hope i satisfied your bartylus craving <3#bartylus#anons

I have an angsty hc i would like to share with the class today: (inspired by a convo i had with @aannonn)
We all know how Green is considered good at everything? And how it’s a contrast to his first appearance in AVA 4, where he was visibly being beat up. Now he’s considered the second (lol) best fighter, only behind… Second.
Honestly, I’ve interpreted that as him getting better at fighting and building and stuff not just for himself, but so his friends can be proud of him, too. He doesn’t do it for himself, he wants his friends validation, too, that he’s done something amazing. He wants them to be proud of him, since he doesn’t feel like he’s enough for them. And so he sticks by them; (lol sticks) he’s considered to be very loyal among the group. (Or, it’s so he can protect his friends, so they would never get hurt again. In that which he feels as though he failed)
But. We’ve seen in Build Battle how they kind of… don’t celebrate his achievements. They’ve become used to him being good at everything that it’s almost expected of him. He wants their approval, but just ends up with getting his builds blown up, or summoning a Wither. And the entire thing with NBC, which i’m not going to dive into but yeah. Basically, his achievements become what’s expected of him, and from his perspective, it starts to feel diminished, or that they don’t appreciate him. (But he still tries to get their praise)
Thing is, I thought that Green has been a validation seeker for a long time now, but now in this arc, he gets it. Not from his friends, but from the internet. But a part of him still hopes he could be enough for them. (But he ends up hurting them, thinking that he doesn’t need their help to feel validated anymore. We saw how well that turned out)
So basically, because all of that didn’t make any sense and was me rambling my hc is: Green has been a validation seeker for a long time now, but it’s his friends, rather than social media. Now, though, he thinks he doesn’t need it from them. (Because he’s not enough for them, and when they finally come back from where they are hiding, he’ll never be enough for them after what he did.)
His character… AUGHHHHHH- his character…
#this is my hc and my personal interpretation from personal experience#ghost yells for no one to hear#for the record#I am NOT villainizing the CG or excusing Green from his actions#there’s just miscommunication. lots of it.#this did not make sense whatsoever but becker team i need you to acknowledge this#i might be rambling to a brick wall but i had this hc ever since concert of noteblocks that went up in flames#this still doesn’t make sense but gifted kid syndrome told me to write this lol#the funny thing is can’t help it and windmill already said this for me#…fic time? school says no.#green needs a hug man.#anyways time to get ready for school#ava influencer arc#ava green#alan becker#animator vs animation#green influencer arc#I FORGOT TO TAG LOL-

i said that gale and cyra have disaster romcom energy and now it's all i can think about
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#galemance#gale dekarios#tav#i think it falls under miscommunication trope bc she's SO hard to read that he would think she's fucking with him#but no she genuinely wants to know every reason he disliked that book#in this au she actually has a phd instead of just being. a weird lady#she's still a weird lady but she's licensed now#also idk if it's registered bc i haven't done a lot of comics with her but i see her a lot like elizabeth zott from lessons in chemistry

*A sigh could be heard as he tried to figure out what would be the best move.*
Maybe.... maybe just let your brother have time to figure things out too. Clearly there's a lot going on and it is possibly leaving for miscommunication. For now just rest Calynn, I got you here.
*His whispers were reassuring as Apostle rubbed Calynn's back gently.*
*Quiet knocking on the door*
Apostle it's Calynn. Up for movie and nails night?
@calynn-ghoul
*Apostle looked up from his book and got up, a small smile on his face when he opened the door.*
Oh, Calynn. Actually...
*He seems to debate if he actually could, judging his anxiety for physical touch. But this was Calynn and not a stranger so...*
Yes, I am. What movie did you pick?

In the 19 years Steve's lived in this house, never once has he slammed his front door like that. Too scared of his parents' wrath should it have caused any damage.
It feels good.
He almost turns around to do it again, a fuck you to his parents and every decision they ever forced on him, but then he remembers. They're all in there. Nancy, Jonathan, Argyle, Eddie, Robin. In his living room, making declarations and decisions about Steve's life for him. Or, well, one of them is.
Like his parents do. Did?
He didn't grab his keys, wallet, or even his coat, but he's not going back for them. It's cold, sure, but Steve's sure his anger will keep him warm until he reaches a destination. Any destination.
He just doesn't understand why- Why they keep doing this to him.
Why he keeps letting them.
No. No, that's a lie. He keeps letting them because he knows, deep down, he's not a fighter. Not for himself.
He'll put himself between the ones he loves and danger in a heartbeat; he's done that since the first time he watched a petal-faced monster peel its way out of the Byers' wall in '83.
But his parents trained the fight right out of him when it came to himself. It was easier to not argue, to just do what they wanted. They'd smile at him when he was good. They'd take him with on shorter business trips when he behaved. His mom would even allow a quick hug if he impressed a shareholder with how well-mannered and quiet he was.
He won their affections with obedience.
He's never- Nancy and he love each other now, but in the same way they all love each other after having survived the horrors the Upside Down. But Nancy never loved him the way he'd once loved her. That was bullshit.
Even Robin and Dustin. He knows they love him now. Will love him forever, going forward, but both had admitted to having a predetermined idea of who Steve was and what he was like and they weren't wrong but they also weren't right because Steve's never been Steve a goddamn day in his life.
Steve hadn't even known Steve until monsters came into his life.
The way everyone used to refer to him as the Steve Harrington was a judgement all its own. A thing that he was, and had no say to be otherwise.
Even Eddie, in the Upside Down, and now, in his own house.
Steve finally feels like he might be becoming who he really is and he's surrounded by friends and it just made him stupid. He'd thought it was confidence, when he pulled Eddie aside to talk, to confess, but then-
Eddie telling him he's confused. Like Steve is a child learning new concepts and not an adult who has been questioning how he feels about men since he first noticed other boys in middle school.
Eddie telling him, 'you don't want this, man. Not really.'
It's not fair.
Robin came out to him, and he'd just wanted to make her laugh so she would quit looking so scared. Eddie came out to him, and Steve had thanked him for trusting him. Jonathan, Nancy, and Argyle confess to all dating each other and Steve congratulated them. But Steve comes out and gets told he's confused?
And Steve didn't even refute it. Just got so hurt he couldn't be there anymore. Left his own house because he'd told Eddie he had a crush on him, and asked if he'd like to go on a date sometime and Eddie said no and told him he was confused.
Eddie doesn't get to decide that for Steve! No one but himself can decide if he like guys or not. No one gets to tell him he's confused about what he's feeling.
It's- that's bullshit, is what it is!
Steve turns on his heel and marches back to his house. His hurt has fully morphed to anger now.
Steve hasn't run away from a fight since '83, and he's not going to start now.
He rips his front door open and is greeted to everyone just inside the door, in various states of putting their winter clothes back on. All the faces look concerned, but he scans for Eddie's.
Eddie who looks relieved for all of two seconds, when it seems to dawn on him that Steve is angry, and it's directed at him.
"The appropriate response," Steve growls as he steps through his door and punctuates those words by slamming it shut again. (It's not as satisfying this time, because he sees how it makes his friends jump.) He barrels on with his words, eyes never leaving Eddie, "when someone comes out to you, is to say 'thanks for telling me' or perhaps even 'thanks for trusting me' or, if one is so inclined, to just say 'cool, dude' but you don't get- you don't get to tell me I'm confused!"
Eddie takes a step back, knocking directly in Argyle, who steadies him, but he doesn't say anything.
Maybe Steve should be more calm about this, given the audience, but he's not able to stop the words now that they've started. "I'm not confused, and I know exactly what I'd be getting into. You don't get to- to try and make your rejection my fault. If you don't wanna date me, just say so. But you don't get to try and tell me how I feel about you!"
From the corner of his eye, he can see Nancy trying to subtly shift herself and Jonathan away from the door, probably to get out of what really should be a private conversation, but Jonathan's a bit preoccupied by catching Robin around the waist as she lunges towards Eddie.
"What the fuck did you say, Munson!" Robin growls, arms swinging out like she's going to claw Eddie to death.
Argyle has inched back a bit, putting distance between him and Eddie in case Robin breaks free. "You dudes should probably talk this out in private."
"Byers, if you don't let me go right now-"
"Robbie, I got this," Steve says, because Robin shouldn't be turning on Jonathan when he's done nothing wrong. Robin continues to glare at Eddie for a few seconds before she makes eyes contact with Steve. He raises his brows slight -I got this- and she furrows hers -are you sure?-, so he tilts his head -yes, really- and she deflates in Jonathan's arms and allows him to drag her away.
"We'll just be in the rec room," Nancy says, looping her arm through Argyles and following after Jonathan.
Eddie doesn't bolt, which is a bit more than Steve expected. They both just stare at each other until they hear the click of the rec room door.
"Steve-"
"That was fucked up, Eddie," Steve interrupts.
"Yeah. It was," Eddie says, but doesn't offer up more, even though Steve is waiting for an apology.
"That kind of reaction is exactly why I didn't come out sooner. What would be the fucking point if no one even believed me? Or worse, if you'd given me that kind of reaction like, six months ago, I probably never admit to liking guys out loud ever again. You can't just- you can't decide this kind of shit for other people!"
"I know! I- I freaked out, and panicked, and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Steve," Eddie says, and he sounds sincere and looks almost fragile while saying it that Steve loses a bit of his steam. He doesn't want to just keep yelling at Eddie.
"Yeah. Well. Thanks for apologizing," Steve mutters, crossing his arms with a huff.
Eddie worries his bottom lip before he seems to gather all his courage and says, "have I fucked everything up between us?"
"No. Not- I'm going to, like, need some time to get over my crush, but no. It's- it'll just be take time-"
"No! I mean, I can't- if you don't, uh, like me like that anymore I get it, but I- what I meant was. Well. No, I guess that answered my question."
Steve is confused, now. For real, and not about his sexuality. "What?"
"What?"
"You did it again. Deciding for me if I liked you or not."
"Shit. Fuck! Sorry," Eddie drops his head into his hands and groans. "I'm fucking this up so bad."
"Than use, like, real, whole sentences and speak to me!"
"I like you!" Eddie blurts. "I have a crush on you, too, but I- I fucked it up!"
"Yeah. Kinda."
Eddie makes a really pathetic noise at that.
"Not so much we can't, like, figure it out, though," Steve offers. "Not, like, right now, because I'm hurt and angry, but like, I'm not going to stop liking you because of one fight. Not. Uh, not now that I know you like me, too."
"Oh," Eddie whispers, then frowns. "For real?"
Steve rolls his eyes. "I said it, didn't I?"
"Sorry, it's just, just good things don't happen to me. It's- I'm processing, okay."
Steve lets out a long-suffering sigh and heads towards the rec room. "If you want to leave to 'process' alone, I get it, but you're welcome to stay. We can get this party re-started and hang out."
Eddie's silent a moment, and Steve thinks he's going to ask if Steve's sure, but instead he gets a quiet, "yeah. I'd like to stay." and the sound of Eddie's footsteps following him to the rec room.

#steddie#pre-steddie more accurately#my fic#we have a lot of fic where it feels like the miscommunication is just one character deciding how the other feels#and i LOVE that trope. The angst of it all it just *chefs kiss*#but I dont think steve would let people get away with telling him how he feels#i think hed get hurt and then angry#so i wrote it#thats a lie. this STARTED as that trope (i even warned the discord babes) but while I wanted steve to stay sad instead he got mad \:#so its not actually the story i wanted to tell but it's the one i got

i think the hate for "miscommunication" in stories is undeserved. miscommunication is part of Being Alive, everyone experiences. you as the viewer think "ugh this is so annoying, why don't they just say what they really mean/why don't they clear it up" but in reality everyone is always miscommunication its a fundamental part of being alive and interacting with people.... im the lone defender of miscommunication tropes ok. i support u
#>sluggy personal#like whenever ppl say they hate it im like maybe you're just mad at bad writing.. lol#i personally love it especially in romance because is that not just so real. where we romance be if there was no miscommunication#the best mutual pining is when they both think its unrequited because of miscommunication#im talking a lot of bullshit euthanize me captain

I understand why sally rooney doesn’t resonate with some people of course but the way she writes such complicated painful relationships between people feels very real to my experience in life. and honestly a lot of the criticism about her work feels like a misunderstanding of the fact that she’s writing about irish life… like these are novels set in dublin not new york city….
#of course i’m not irish but i lived there for a few months enough to get some sense of the culture there#and i feel like a lot of people reading her work rlly have no sense of the culture there at all…#like idk you had to be there and at the end of the day she writes repressed irish people novels!#I feel like it’s fair to criticize her about diversity sure but people complaining about the miscommunication like#haha u clearly are not coming from an irish catholic background… even just the cultural background

Loz fandom stop being angsty and give the daydreaming kids on big fun adventures with a cool glowing sword some actual whimsy and joy challenge
#It's like the happy media equals angsty fandom and vice versa but like.

Oh lu fics are just full of miscommunication and resentment and sour interactions and pain and simmering anger#I prefer to read trusted authors because it's so wearing but the problem is you have to go out and find them lol#It's a very controversial belief of mine that every link enjoyed their adventure even if it was scary or sad and would not be averse to#Another. Oh the circumstances they might hate. But link has never been one to refuse the call#That's the POINT they stepped up when the adults couldn't it's their COURAGE that they'd be fastest to volunteer.#Unrelated but post game botk is adhd central you can do literally whatever you want and whatever pace and you just drift around getting#Distracted and teleporting all over and setting challenges and poking around every nook and cranny#Like botw I had over 300 koroks and 98% map completion.

related to this do you think part of the reason javier wanted to be a knight of the frontera family so badly was because. that way he could stay. that way he could always be with them. maybe he wasn't and never would be part of the family, not really, but as long he could stay with them... couldn't that be enough? wasn't being allowed to stay worth giving his loyalty and even his life for them?
and do you think arcos accepted javier's oath as knight because he thought that maybe this way he could get him to stay. this way the child he grew to love as his own son would never have to leave. that he saw the kid he'd raised all those years, barely an adult and already ready to put his life in the line for someone else, and when he was offered the chance to keep him at his family's side forever, he took it with guilty relief. aware that if javier left he would go on to do great amazing things, so talented he'd be sought after by kings and emperors, but equally aware of the dangers that carried. that if javier left there was a chance he would never see him again. but if he stayed with them, if he stayed in their quiet and boring estate where nothing really happened... maybe he wouldn't become the great hero arcos knew he could, but he would be safe. and he's not javier's father, he missed that chance and he doesn't know if he can ever have it back, but he loves the kid like he were and isn't a father's duty to worry about his children's safety above anything else? isn't it worth it for the world to have one less hero if he's keeping his kid where he's safe?
#i talk a lot <3#tged#the greatest estate developer#javier asrahan#arcos frontera#i just love miscommunication <333 when the tragedy is caused because two people think they understand what the other wants <333#and deny themselves what the wish for thinking the other wouldn't <333 when in fact they both want the same thing <33333#i think it's fun <3#i also like the idea of there being this sort of tension between the fronteras and javier. where the air sometimes grows a little thick.#the atmosphere a little too heavy. where the weight of the missed opportunities and repressed wishes make it a little hard to breathe.#it's like the platonic version of pining. 'i want to adopt you so bad/i want you to adopt me so bad'.#it's stupid but i love it <3

I think "one or more of them is in danger or almost fucking dies, in the process discovering their child's impurity, and then after a lot of emotional turmoil they just pass the fuck out the second they're safe and calm again thanks to the awful, exhausting day they've had" is a scenario I write weirdly often for this messy as hell family
Anyway. Family cuddles. My babygirl is exhausted and deserves to be held for once
ID start: A black and white doodle of the Pale King, White Lady, and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans. The three of them are covered in bruises and scratches. They're sleeping in a pile of blankets with the Pure Vessel tucked in between their parents, with only their face showing. The Pale King is hugging them with both sets of his arms, his face buried in their hair, while the White Lady lays beside them with her arm drapped over the both of them and roots coiling around them. End ID.
#faaf au#spooky arts#pale king#white lady#pure vessel#half assing the tags#while i do adore my usual messy and long story of their relationship evolving with time and forging a familial bond through blood and tears#after everything that happened and all the wrong theyve done. i still enjoy putting them in situations thay force them to either communicate#or show that they care for and love their child and vice versa. essentially resolving 8 years of plot in like. a week tops#thats only half a joke they legitimately skip over like 5-6 years of miscommunication. further hurt and resentment#theres still lots lf family therapy theyre gonna need but theyre starting it on a better note than the classic faaf#also flower coming to terms with the fact theyve been abused WHILE in contact with their parents and the two getting first row seats to that#and just how much their kid will bend backwards to come up with any excuses for what theyve done to them is fun
