hihiii pookie :DD!!

tw// mentions of depression

i'm wondering if you could maybe write a comfort fic about miles 42 with a reader who hates asking for help even when theyre clearly suffering in silence because they were taught to just 'suck it up' and deal with it alone as a kid?

you dont have to write this if you dont feel comfortable with it <33

Thank you pooks :33!!

hi pooks @jrrantss <:DD oh man, okay so i was kind of that kid back then too (though i was a big crybaby) it's like the adults around me didn't fully comprehend why i was feeling the way i was, so in response to that, they basically condemned crying at home or in front of them. i'm sorry if you went through something similar or, hopefully not, something worse ;-; i hope this provides you some comfort, and in a way, might also let you know you aren't the only one going through stuff like this. i'm here for you pookie, all the time <:)

(reblogs are greatly appreciated, it helps get my content out there! if you guys like what you see, please reblog it too <:D)

you can be honest with me. – miles 42 x reader (angst + comfort)

nothing went your way this week, hell, you couldn't even remember a week in your life when anything felt right, when you didn't feel that you were holding yourself back from letting go of everything that felt wrong, awful, and just... painful. you were too good at keeping secrets, too good at lying about how you really felt; and that was something you hated about yourself, how you found lying as your first nature, not your second. you lied to people when they'd ask you if you were doing okay, if your day was going alright–you always gave them the answers they want to hear, that you were fine, that nothing was wrong.

but when everything just comes crumbling down, and the cracks in your facade begin to show and become more obvious... you get more and more defensive, more and more angry, more and more... scared and worried about these feelings that are hurling themselves at you so quickly that you can't even begin to understand why they're affecting you so badly–why people can see the bare you now if you just turn your face to look at them or open your mouth to speak; and your boyfriend was the first person to see you this way, vulnerable, yet trying all you can to avoid that vulnerability while you're crumbling down.

"hey," miles calls out to you in a soft voice as he sees your back turned to him as you kept working on your assignments, hunched over at your desk with your brows furrowed together and your lips curved into a scowl. you had been avoiding him for a few days now–at least he thinks you might be avoiding him–and have acted very distant, very... out of it recently. you didn't turn your head around to face him, which prompted him to continue talking, hopefully so you could find a reason to face him and his worried eyes. "you've, um... you've been busy lately." "uh-huh." you hummed as you tapped the end of your pencil against your desk impatiently, racking your brain for the answer to the questions written down that all seemed to blur together as the shittiness of the previous days just irritated you even more, and the worst part was... you couldn't hide the fact you can't mask ot anymore.

miles' face contorted as he got more and more worried about you, not knowing why you were acting starkly different than the usual you, or the only you he was familiar with. he extended his hand out to you as he walked over, looking at your cluttered up papers on your desk and the smudged up marks on the paper from your erasures. "...is something wr–" "everything's fine, i'm fine, i'm just peachy!" "you don't sound very convincing." he said, his voice returning to his nonchalant, cool tone as he took a small glimpse at your face before you turned away from his field of vision.

he sat in the chair next to you and wrapped his arm around you in an effort to comfort you. "cielo, sonething's up with you. are you... are you sure you don't wanna let me help?" he asked you with a soft voice, hoping he didn't overstep any boundaries as you slowly turned your head to show him a bit of your face. there were tears in your eyes, though you didn't dare let miles see them fall down your face; there was a sob stuck in your throat, but you didn't dare let miles hear it escape your lips. you had been there before, being severely troubled for more things than just homework–but never had you been advised to do anything than the age old phrases you've heard all your life as a kid: 'get over it.'

you took in a deep breath and tried to tell him what those words you've exhausted yourself from saying all the damn time–that you don't need any help, that you've got this, that you're okay... but your body's betraying you right now. it's betraying you for turning your back on your own feelings, but that... was never your fault, never. as you let out the breath you've been holding in, the hot tears came streaking down the ends of your eyes, your scowl morphing into a sad frown as you felt yourself slowly come undone and all the raging thoughts in your mind boiled down into one thought right then and there: 'fuck no, i am far from okay'.

you had one tear come down, then two, then... a whole waterfall of tears came pouring down your eyes as you finally released that sob you had been desperately keeping in. you had released it out into the air as it mingled with miles' shushing and gentle whispers as he held you while you leaned against him, wailing as you tried telling him how nothing had been right lately. you choked out in broken cries how you desperately wanted a way out of everything horrible that's been happening but you didn't want anyone else to be bothered by your 'stupid, insignificant problems'.

"i just... want to be okay... but i can't even pretend to be okay for at least one damn day." "please, stop pretending, mi vida. it's hurting me how you... how you think it's strength to rake up everything by yourself... when you clearly need help." miles said with a cracked voice as he felt himself choke up at your melancholic state. you cried even more out of guilt that you saddened miles, but he kissed your forehead, cheek–your whole face as he murmured words of reassurance, of love, to you to calm you down and comfort you. "you're not alone, not anymore... i don't care if some idiots in your life want you to deal with alone, never to bother them–you're never a bother to me, got that?" he mutters to you as he holds you close, letting you sob into his shoulder, your sobs getting louder and louder all the while. he shushes you and rubs your back gently, kissing your wet cheeks as he keeps reminding you that no matter what you're going through, what problems you're having, he's always going to be there for you–be the help you'll need, one way or another.

"please, don't be scared, mi vida... you can be honest with me. i promised to love you with all my heart, protect you, and... always be the help you'll need."

he whispered to you as he looked into your eyes and gently wiped your tears away and leaned his forehead against yours, hoping you would be more lenient, more understanding towards yourself and your own needs; and that you wouldn't hesitate to ask him for help. because even if you don't ask him to, he'll be there to help you, be there to guide you, be there to comfort you the best he can. because he loves you, and knows you deserve more than what you think you deserve, that you deserve... the best of the best, and nothing less.

ateez’s reaction to you wearing waist chain. bet theyre going crazy over it as if they hadnt been obsessed with your waist already 🤪

-- mono diana ask!!

aa I love this idea soooo much, so I don't have an idea for all of ateez but for yunho!!

You have been scrolling for quite sometime, till you saw this cute swimsuit idea! You decided to text Yunho to come to the beach with you! After doing so you find out everyone is coming, not that it bothers you they are your friends to! You find your swimsuit that matches your skin perfectly. But you were missing one thing, what was it that the girl had in the video. After your mind pondered for a while you figured it out again, waist beads! You had a couple only around three, two were a pearly look-a-like and other matched the color of your swimsuit.

★

You look in your lengthy mirror, and smile. You had the looks of a mermaid in her own little lagoon. Ethereal. After finding a cute cover up to put over your swimsuit, you decided to make a picnic basket. You looked in the fridge, and packed up watermelon, bubbly soda, and some sandwiches. But you being you, you brought some other snacks for the members! After a while you got a ding from Yunho, he was here with all the boys for the beach! You giggled and put on your sandals, and walked out your house. "Hi /your name!!" Wooyoung says happily as you enter the car with your cute little strawberry basket. "Hi woo!!" You say plopping down next to him.

★

"what is that basket for?" A husky voice questions, "o—oh uhh it's food I got it for everyone!" You say a tad bit startled from Mingi's rather deep voice. You all have a bit till yall get to the beach so you sleep with wooyoung while Seonghwa is helping yunho with directions. Yeosang and Jongho are talking. Hongjoong, San, and Mingi are arguing about what flavor of cheetos are better. But sooner or later yall get to the beach. "/your name, wooyoung! Wake up we are here!" Seonghwa says. While everyone is still getting out the car, Yunho stares at you a bit while your sleeping before waking you up. After your little sleepy haze you are walking to the beach with everyone. Yunho is holding on to your waist while you have the basket in your hand.

★

finally that ocean breeze, you place everything down as Seonghwa is starting to cook, a nice barbecue. Everyone else except you, Yunho, and Mingi are playing volleyball. You, Yunho and Mingi are about to swim, as you take your cover up off you can feel a certain someones eyes on you. That someone being Yunho. Your waistbeads falling ever so gently on your curves, making them shine even more. "Is there a problem?" You say making sure he is okay. "Uh uh no no don't worry!" He says stuttering a bit. He really is like a wondering puppy, you relish in your mind. As you finish up that conversation, Mingi groans and yall head to the ocean. It was so pretty, and clear. Until Mingi started to splash water on you. Yunho watched from a tad bit a far. Watching the way when you jumped the waist beads would to. They just fit you so well, how can he not look.

★

After you and Mingi's interference, you walked back to Yunho. Yunho looked at the way when you walked the beads would go up down up down. He was in love or something. But he would never tell. You examine his face, very close. "Are you okay? You seem hot." You question him once again. "Uh—uh... I'm fine!!" Yunho brushes it off. You shrugged and walked away. Yet he stilled, and turned to watch that effortlessly gorgeous waist, and the of course pretty beads on it.

[false-anachronism]

goddd i have 2. talk abt nhw the hive. relationship dynamics and such. theyre rly important 2 me bc they're all some secret third thing but in different ways ok this is a rant made for me and like maybe 2 people. there r some sex dynamics discussed in here but it's like not detailed so w/e

rand aromantic ace-spec but has no words for his identity (he's fuckin 60 or somethin give him a break) the idea of romance makes him want to crawl into a hole and throw up don't come at him with that shit!!! totally down to do typically romantic perceived stuff (say i love you and kiss and hold hands and cuddle) but never in like. a casual domestic partner way yk. he's not using petnames and if he goes out with one of the others he would rather die than call it a date. using the word boyfriends for his relationships makes him want to die. would definitely call himself ace-spec if he knew about labels!!! he could honestly take or leave sex he doesn't care too much either way but he does enjoy it when it happens. almost never actively initiates it but will be annoying at rolan brat-style on the rare occasion he does want it in hopes that someone will pick up what he's putting down (they do!!!). rand and rolan best friends with benefits (the benefits being occasional sex + rand freeloading off rolan's pension and work benefits + understanding each other on an intrinsic level). kian closest thing rand will ever want or have to a conventional boyfriend. down to do some more romantic-ish things w him sometimes. will put himself in kian's hands and say hey i'm having a bad time can you make me stop thinking and kian will oblige without hesitation. becky RIDE OR DIE!!! freeloader solidarity. kinda chip and jay coded in my beautiful mind. would make fun of each other and push each other over in public in front of god and everyone but could and would kill for each other without a moment's hesitation. nothing about them is romantic/sexual but becky could be there while rand and rolan are makin out. she's chill like that

oouhhh rolan........ bisexual disaster........ realized he liked guys soon after leaving for college. after galloway he got paranoid that somehow being a clone since he was 14 is actually was "turned him gay." he's really normal guys dw <3 got over the being bi thing real fast because he had bigger shit to worry about (being a clone!!! parahumans everywhere!!!! everything sucks!!!) feels Something for rand but it's definitely not romance. doesn't know how to describe it. they're cool with their weird situationship and don't need a label for it. DEFINITELY feels romantic feelings towards kian which is perfect bc kian feels the same. only pairing in the polycule u can possibly simply describe as boyfriends (ofc there's.more to it too but they're fine with calling it that)!! physically affectionate and sometimes go on dates if they feel up for it etc. becky..... she ranked higher than him in the queen's little army or w/e so he's constantly reminding himself he doesn't have to do what becky says and she's constantly forcing herself to drop the automatic commander persona around him and they get better at this over the years. extreme bone deep instinctual understanding between these two. they're not even affectionate as friends and they barely talk at each other in a human way. if u saw them out together you would not even think they were friends they're so distant but in reality they're constantly silently communicating and probably know more about each other than they do about themselves. hivemates who could not function without each other!!

kian. ok well hypersexual and bi first of all so jot that down. kinda knew he was queer from a young age and kept it a secret for a while but just kinda rolled with it after he moved to la. NEEDS physical intimacy or he will die. used to be reallyyyyy weird and hesitant about nonsexual physical affection but then he got a lil bit of it after galloway and now he needs to be clinging to someone like at least 80% of the time. loves all three of the others a lot in a romance way and a friend way and just in a general "i would die for you" way. gets that rand would rather die than be boyfriends and is chill with being partners/friends who have sex sometimes. really normal about rand letting him do some kinky shit with him (famously paranoid guy putting himself in ur hands and trusting u not to break him when all u have ever done ur whole life is fuck things up. he's so normal!!). does less kinky shit with rolan but rolan's also down to try a lot of things if kian's doing it.... kian's really normal about this too (guy you've had a crush on since you were teenagers saying hey i want to kiss you can we be boyfriends can we do that is that weird i wanna do that also i have barely had any sex my whole life can we do that too..... kian really normal about intimacy stone!!!) godddd becky. kian likes to be in control in general when it comes to any kind of intimacy but with becky he's going to put his entire being in her palms and say i love you and i trust you. can you take care of me. he is self destructive and lowkey a masochist and he trusts becky to fulfill that part of him that Wants to be hurt in a safe way

becky my girlllll ok i swear im not projecting but she's some flavour of bi too. to me. probably most definitely more attracted to guys but she could fuck w girls if she wanted. lowkey to me i see her as like. a lil sex repulsed after The EventsTM at the tree in galloway. feels like she can't fucking trust herself even tho after a certain point she had about as much agency in what happened as kian did (which is to say!!! fucking none!!!) anyway ok. rand. ride or die friends. they're so easy. friendships are so much easier for her than anything else. he's just a normal fucking guy who she doesn't fuck with and also isn't a bug clone!! literally just some Guy she can be normal friends with!!! she needs that!!!! god does she needs that!!! and she and rolan are like. idk. two halves of a whole in a lot of ways. function together on the field like a well oiled machine with all their silent communication. out of costume it looks like they don't interact much at all but that's because they're basically in each other's heads and don't rly need to interact in any conventional human way. and with kian she is soooo fucking scared. she is so so scared of hurting him all the time. she's is 100% stone (ha) and does not even get undressed the first time she and kian try having sex after galloway. rarely ever takes her pants off and almost never gets off. handles him like glass for years until like after their argument post lagos behemoth attack when she kinda realizes Damn Yeah i don't. think i could hurt him. not more than what's already been done to him. still carries this complex with her for the rest of her life but now has the ability to beat it back with a stick so she can kiss her stupid boyfriend without feeling like the scum of the earth. damn this got long sorry i had a lot of becky thoughts

[cassiopeiasflowers]

i genuinely wish i could articulate my thoughts on nicky because sometimes i think it comes off as just 'hes gay and makes me sad' because thats easy to say and articulate but like. he is a character who doesnt matter. not just like tamara and micah and yuri and luca and flint, but he isnt in the story. hes optional. and like, hes really fucking strong. hes been training most likely his WHOLE LIFE. of course hes strong. he doesnt matter. hes optional and you simply dont have to see him and his dad doesnt even seem to care about him and ??? i know a lot of what im saying has been said but bear with me here. and understand that ! some of it i was thinking before i saw other people say it. which just means im right. anyways. 👍. also i talk about oliver a lot here because. well you ujderstand

"sometimes i pretend the whole reason this tournament exists is so that my father and i could fight each other. but i suppose that wont be happening now..."

"nicky?"

"ah, oliver! don't worry. i need not be consoled."

paraphrasing because i dont remember but! fuck!!! all he wanted was to impress his dad! and then when oliver tries to console him he just brushes it off!!!!!!

something else is that. he knows about the prophecy. he knows what the point is. the winner defeats the wizard king. and yet he still wants to win. isnt that fucked? he knows and yet he wants to win to impress his dad. this is something i think about all the time. hes willing to be doomed forever, just so his dad will be proud of him.

and like, again hes been training forever. and then what, this other kid comes along and he arrived in this world like, maybe a week ago? and he still wins. whatever. this is lightweight. but he keeps winning and it isnt fair because hes been training his whole life. and then he wins. he actually wins ultra-ultimate. and he goes on to defeat the wizard king, the thing he wanted to do to make his dad proud.

and then theres like. nickiver, right? sure, this kid is winning the tournaments but thats fine. because it isnt the main one. and hes pretty. and hes firery and stubborn and hes strong and he fights on his level and it's fun and theyre nemises and they argue. and this kid is also just fucking clueless when it comes to any hints about nicky's crush. and then this kid wins ultra-ultimate. and then he sees this kid win pandora's box. and maybe now, if he didnt before, he fully understands the complete weight of defeating the wizard king. because he loves this boy, and he opened the box. he opened the fucking box and he climbed the tower and if he didnt arrive in the world. nicky wouldve done that. for his dad. for his dad's thousand year revenge quest. and again he loves oliver. and he sees him change after defeating the wizard king and maybe they get married and maybe for a bit theyre happy. but oliver defeated the wizard king, which is what nicky was meant to do. it's a good thing he didnt. or maybe not, because it came at the price of oliver.

and like, hes a kid. okay. hes maybe 13, 14, around oliver's age. and he loves fighting and familiars and i doubt he has any friends and i doubt he has anyone. but then he has oliver and oliver is nice but also argues and hes so clueless and hes perfect. hes the perfect guy and nicky loves him and theyre friends (despite their nemisis status). but again oliver defeats the wizard king. and yeah i think nicky probably befriends esther but. he had oliver. oliver was possibly his first non-familiar friend (i do think his familiars are his friends even after the whole thing) and he has him and then he doesnt. and he slips away because of that fucking prophecy. and hes gone.

and also, nicky's scared of being unimportant. he wants to matter. he wants to impress his dad he wants to be important. and hes fucking not, and it's heartbreaking. he was removed from wotww. i say this a lot but every other named character had a cameo. almost every place had a mention. but not nicky (and not giovanni either) (unless you count. french car guy.). nicky doesnt matter. nickys unimportant. nicky doesnt impress his dad. he matters so much to me but overall oliver is the hero of the story so oliver is going to win. nicky is optional in dotdd but god thats better than him not being an option at all.

and something i always think about with the hope and hopelessness line is. nicky holds onto hope. and oliver doesnt. nicky, the neglected, optional, moon coded boy, holds onto hope. and oliver, the loved, hero, adored, sun coded boy holds onto hopelessness. we're given every reason to think it wouldnt be like that. but nicky holds onto hope and oliver doesnt and of course oliver doesnt because hes the hero. hes the pure-hearted one. these things dont just go well. hes the pure hearted one so of course he wants to defeat a great evil, even if it ruins him.

but nicky? he holds onto hope in the end. hope. the character who would make perfect sense to be hopeless, hes the one who holds onto hope. he has hope. maybe hope is all he has. either way, he holds onto hope. and that drives me crazy.

and hes also fun. hes a fun character! hes dramatic and his lines are cute and hes clearly in love with oliver and hes funny and charming! all of this tragedy, and hes so charming still. and i think that does a lot. like, a silly character who says things like 'exactly as i expected... from my NEMISIS!!!!!!!!!' and then you find out hes tragic and his father is neglectful and hes moon coded and he has a moon charm on his coat?? LIKE!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!! AWESOME. and to top it all off. hes even gay.

anyway i love nicky i hope this ?? made sense. if it ever seems like my thoughts on him dont go deep they do im just awful at words & enjoy to make silly posts. i like him a lot

[qoldenskies]

Babagril I adore clipped wings and you are feeding my insatiable hunger for heavy angst and impeccable writing but I am a littol concerned about how fast you're putting chapters out recently. I know they've been on the shorter side compared to the beginning but plase don't push yourself too hard okies? We can wait, I just don't want you getting burnt out or something :(

Also you are so meanies to us why must Donnie constantly go through the horrors its the fic ive always craved and I am sobbing, thank youuu

hey hey im fine!! i should probably clarify that im genuinely just a fast writer and im. yknow. an unemployed 18 year old who doesnt have much to do other than stuff like this, and im fed and moved along by all the praise and kindness. you dont have to worry about me!! honestly a HUGE thing im aiming for while writing CW is the joy of getting to complete something, i actually crank these chapters out in like a sitting if im in a good mood LOL (theyre kind of scrappy, but im trying to combat my perfectionism. pretty much every time ive said im gonna take a bit i find myself too excited to, ive got a big hyperfixation on CC at the moment and all of the good reception has gotten me even more hyped bghdghfh. you have NO idea how much i stare at the fanart you guys have made for me ily....). for my next project i plan on writing a lot in advance and pacing myself better (especially because i want to do longer chapters for it), but for CW im happy to just speed through!!

^^ helped along by the fact that im trying to avoid making chapters long for the sake of it now. i dont really have a goal in mind for wordcount with this next set, because i think i want to think in what progresses more than that

and thank you!! teehee the thing i want to move to next is so much sillier but i do enjoy taking a real good dip into The Horrors....... not sure where i'll be going after wwww but its planned to be a HUGE undertaking anyway. but i will probably be returning to the horrors. and maybe CVD ive missed her my love

[kittycatred]

*real note appears* Well then hello weird ghost, I know that was too easy, but I was tired, can you blame me? Well, we already know you aren't red, and so I don't think you need to pretend to us..

(to real red, on a ghost note: hi red, the note basically asked if you need help and it was color coded or whatever, but I can go get help, even if you agreed to the ghost possession thing)

-Snow Anon

fine. i suppose your right. no use pretending, if it just makes me the one who seems as if they're a fool here. . .

[ meanwhile . . . ]

"hi red. . . i can go get help" oh !! OH YOU GUYS KNOW IM POSSESSED ???

well actually, creepy ghost sucks at pretending anyways, BUT uh- dont worry !!! i dont need help.....or well

i did agree to this. . .but theyre harmless !! just creepy !! i-i can handle it !! i can save myself from my own situations !!! probably.....maybe.....but this is my fault though....uhh

BUT UH....OH A DIFFERENT NOTE I HAVE GHOST POWERSSS AHAHA !!! LOOK WHAT I DIDDDDD !!!!!

[2:28AM]

imagining woozi as your husband!

i feel like there would be a slight jump from just dating to getting married

he'd be a lot more comfortable with you, of course

he's still very serious and independent

but his love for you is on a completely different level as soon as you guys tie the knot!

at that point, he wouldn't mind bragging about you or simply talking about you to LITERALLY ANYONE

he'd be so defensive of you, too

so imagine you're laying in bed next to him right after you announced your marriage

and he's slowly falling asleep (snoozi woozi) but you're skimming the tabloids, reading all the comments by some of the obsessive and rude "carats" (theyre not rly carats if they dont respect svt's personal life but whatever)

you're not upset, but you can't help the slight pout your mouth makes reading through those things

he rolls onto his side and lets out a deep sigh, so he says:

"jagi, are you not sleeping yet?"

"no, but you can go ahead"

youre turned away from him and he moves to spoon you, his head in the crook of your neck

he peers over your shoulder and silently watches as you read the comments

he doesn't say anything at first (because "who is he to tell you what to do/feel or not to do/feel" is his attitude)

it isn't until he hears you sigh at a particular comment that went along the lines of "i hope they separate because they aren't good enough for him"

he goes "aish. you shouldn't worry about that stuff, you know?"

"i know..." is all you can say

you shut your phone off and try to relax

little do you know, he's actually FUMING

he is SO PISSED

there's nothing more he wants than to be treated with respect EXCEPT for his spouse to be treated with the same respect

he nuzzles his head into your neck

"you okay, y/n?"

"yeah"

"i just..." (i imagine he'd be kinda flustered trying to actually comfort you and say romantic things, so he's trying to play it cool and casual) "it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. i think you're... the right one for me... so don't worry about that stuff."

you can't help but laugh

jihoon isn't very good with comforting words (but dont get me wrong, he KNOWS what to say, i mean look at his music, but it'd be hard for him to say out loud casually)

he always is straight to the point

but since you're now married, he already knows sometimes just telling you what seems to him as common sense/what's best isn't very helpful

"why are you laughing? i'm trying to help"

"thank you for that. i just think you're cute"

he shuts up and snuggles into you even more, muttering under his breath like "what the?" and "you're so weird"

after he gets over his blushing attack, he hums, "let's go to sleep together, yeah?"

tomorrow he's making a statement about those antis tho. im so fr.

one last scenario for you!

i think he'd be a liiiiiiittle bit more comfortable with pda now

when you're sitting next to each other, he'll put his hand on your thigh at times, and he'd move his thumb soothingly on your skin

he'd hold your hand, but his other hand would be blocking you from paparazzi/dispatch or guiding you carefully somewhere

and i can't stress enough how often his hand would be on your lower back if he wants to guide you somewhere or move you a little (no longer ghosting your back like when you're dating)

imagine you're both leaving his studio

he doesn't even bother making you leave separately and discretely from him for safety purposes like what he used to do while you were dating

but as soon as he notices the camping paparazzi outside of the building, he gently holds your hip and pulls you closer to him

one arm would be around your waist to keep you close

and the other arm would be out, protecting the both of you

you smile at his protectiveness

"ji, it's fine if they take pictures of me."

"yeah, but i don't want them to do anything weird to you."

bonus points if you mirror his positioning so you're protecting him from paparazzi, too (this man would love whenever you reciprocate anything back to him in an innocent, but goofy way)

you'd both be giggling all the way over

but anyway, he walks like that, protecting you until you reach a car to drive off in

he was already protective of you when you were dating, but he's now so much more protective now that you're completely public and official

woozi would be a wonderful husband to someone who deeply understands him and loves him for who he is

he wouldn't necessarily meet booktok stereotypes of a husband, but he'd def be a sweet and protective one that always supports you and what you think is best! 🫶

(p.s.: i'm planning on opening a requests thing! ofc i kind of specialize in woozi imagines, so if you have anything in mind for me to write about, def send a request! i also dont mind doing other svt members, too. would that be fun? i'll update you the next time i post! have a great day (*＾3＾)/～☆)

"how can you like sugarduo theyre so toxic" thats why i like them!!!! FML 🔛🔝 fuck everyone that doesnt like them!!!!

FML

Roier gets access to the Room

"He's family now, right? It's a family secret."

Cellbit's attempts to convince Forever have, so far, failed. Roier already knows. Roier has known for some time. He knows about Phil and he knows about what Forever really is.

"I'm just worried that he won't react as well as you guys did..."

Their reaction was insane, thinking back on it. They found out that Forever and Quackity had kidnapped Philza and they were all fine with it. They didn't even bat an eye. Mike had shrugged and said "amor é amor" with a laugh. They all laughed together. They knew what Forever was doing to their friend and that was fine.

It didn't matter. They watched Phil get destroyed and didn't care.

Now, it makes Cellbit feel a bit sick. He knows what love is now, thanks to Roier. It is not what Phil and Forever have.

What they have is sickening. Something depraved and cruel. Thinking about it too long makes Cellbit want to die. He knows he could have stopped it. He could have helped Phil but he didn't.

"I'll make sure it's okay. I can't keep something like this from my husband, Forever." Cellbit knows that will do something.

"Fine. If he freaks out though, it's on you." Forever huffs.

Roier is calmer than Cellbit had ever seen him. Cellbit walks into the dark room hesitantly. Forever stands close behind them. Cellbit can tell that he's on edge. He's worried.

"Morning, Phil." Cellbit says as the light flickers on. "Roier wanted to see you."

Phil casts a cautious glance between Roier and Forever, looking for confirmation.

In response, Forever speaks. "He's family now. He can see you if he likes." He shrugs despite his obvious nervousness.

Roier's communicator was left in the hall, in the drawer where Phil's stayed. His weapons, too. Forever is very aware that people would not be happy if they saw this. He knows that Roier probably isn't too fond of it. He knows he needs to be careful.

Cellbit can see the moment his husband spots the chain on Phil's ankle. It keeps him attatched to the bed. It's a punishment. Cellbit isn't sure what for, but he doesn't want to ask.

"I thought you hated me." Phil's voice is quiet. It always is. It's quiet and shaky and it breaks Cellbit's heart.

"Why would I- Oh! No, no! Fit and Wilbur are the only ones that actually hate you!" Roier laughs. "And some of the eggs but I don't!"

Cellbit's eye twitches. His husband is not the best at saying appropriate things. It's cute sometimes but here it is not.

Phil's voice cracks slightly, "Oh." he's on the verge of tears.

Forever notices not long after Cellbit does. He moves past Roier and Cellbit, walking over to Phil to kneel in front of him. He puts his hands on Phil's knees to comfort him.

"Don't cry, sweetheart! You know they hate you for a good reason, you shouldn't get so upset."

Cellbit watches Roier lose his mask. His expression changes to one of horror and confusion as he listens to Forever 'comfort' Phil.

"I kn-" A loud smack cuts Phil off.

"Also, I told you not to speak. Meu deus, por que você não ouve?"

Roier's hand trembles as he watches. Cellbit grabs a hold of him and pulls him a little closer. Roier calms himself quickly.

Forever turns to them with a bright smile. "Sorry about that, he's been awful recently! Had a little episode a few days ago, didn't you?" He looks back at Phil.

By 'episode' Forever means that Phil was starting to refuse his orders. He did it sometimes, despite everything.

Phil nods.

"There you go, well done, honey." Forever smiles, tail wagging in delight. He pats Phil on the head, ignoring the way Phil flinches away from his hand.

Cellbit hesitates before he speaks, "What did he do?"

"Screamed at me. I told him to go to bed and he screamed and cried and tried to hurt me, so, now he's here."

Cellbit knows there's more than that. He can see Phil's expression shift as Forever explains. He'll ask Phil later.

"You- you chain him up every time he does something bad?" Roier asks, a slight tremble to his voice.

"Not every time. Depends what he did. A while ago, he screamed at me and I just taped his mouth shut for a while."

Cellbit remembers that. Forever had triggered Phil on purpose, did something he knew would scare Phil into fight or flight. He had admitted a little while after to Pac that he just liked it when Phil was afraid. He said it was cute. Like a little bird.

"Punishment needs to fit the crime! He's chained up because he wouldn't come here when I told him too." Forever smiles.

"Ah... I see." Roier forces a smile in return, Forever doesn't seem to notice how strained it is.

"It's not so bad, he's okay with it! Aren't you, Phil?"

Phil nods quickly with a shaky smile. His eyes are still watering, tears threatening to spill over as he blinks.

Forever smiles back as his tail thwacks against the floor. He stands, using one hand to lift Phil's chin to make him keep eye contact. He gives him a kiss, although it's clear he doesn't want it. Phil doesn't fight but he's certainly not happy about what's being done. Forever pulls away with a smile and strokes Phil's hair again.

"Come on, we should let Phil rest, he's tired." Forever says as he starts to walk back to Cellbit and Roier.

Cellbit nods without question, although Roier is hesitant. Forever notices and stops in his tracks.

"What?" He asks, smile fading from his features as he stares at Roier.

"Nothing! Nothing! We should be going anyway! We have.... things... to do..." Roier trails off as he smiles nervously at Forever.

"Come on, Phil's tired. Let's go." Cellbit makes his tone stern as he pulls Roier slightly back towards the door.

"Yes, okay, great idea, as always, gatinho!"

Forever hums as Cellbit unlocks the door for Roier to step out. He's not happy about any of this.

[hauntedwizardmoment]

okay. this is. potentially such a weird specific ask but as i am over here getting ready to tpk my party who said that. what do you think would happen if for w/e reason jace's college party like. brought jace AND porter along for a mission. no idea WHY this would happen but i'm. literally just picturing the weirdest pissing contest between peregrine and porter during fights and jace is fighting for his life because the tanks are trying to one up each other so he can't even clock that he's kind of being fought over actually.

OH MY GODDDD YEAH. god. i have so many thoughts on this bc like

peregrine and porter are both like. so insecure about their masculinity in ways that i think would clash TERRIBLY. like, if this is adjacent to blood and turpentine canon. maybe their new offensive caster (drow wizard, name currently undecided but he's ysvelde's cousin) bites it and aurora's not able to resurrect him. so they need a backup.

and invidia is like "guys we're close to elmville. i know none of you like him but we could get jace" and dagbert and ysvelde are like "it's not that we dont LIKE him its that he's just. a lot of drama. with aurora and peregrine and everything." but then invidia asks peregrine who's kind of like the unofficial party leader and he's like (convinced he and jace could have an affair bc he's unhappy in his marriage and in his mind jace has always been available to him as a backup option) "well, we need all the help we can get and he's our best option" and i think the only reason aurora would agree to this is bc she thinks whatever mission theyre on might actually kill him

anyways. jace shows up with porter, to everyone's shock, and is like "you guys remember porter? he said he was free too and i figured we could use extra muscle" and IMMEDIATELY peregrine is like "why'd you think that? dagbert and i are--" and then dagbert (only professional on the team) is like making nice with porter and theyre like bonding and peregrine is like [grits teeth] okay. okay. it's fine. it's just a week in the red wastes like old times.

and porter KNOWS about jace and peregrine so he's like playing up the fact that theyre together. like jace gets hurt by something and aurora like rolls her eyes and moves to heal him and porter's like nah don't worry i got him, and kisses jace's hand for a Lay on Hands. and peregrine is fully like [actively seething] calm down calm down calm down calm down

ofc this leads to peregrine taking stupid risks in a major battle bc he thinks he'll win jace over by showing him how he can protect him. and he gets hurt as a result. and so does porter bc now he's taking damage that was meant for peregrine. and jace has to be the one to burn his 9th level spell slot and kill whatever monster theyre fighting. and he's like "guys youre both better adventurers than this?? what the fuck was that?" and neither of them want to admit that theyre kind of in a contest for who can show off in front of him so theyre like "it's nothing, won't happen again"

but ofc it DOES happen again. and again. and aurora who has made it her mission to not interact w jace at all lest she "accidentally" let off a 7th level inflict wounds and reduce him to a pile of black ichor when they still need him is like "you need to tell your little dalliance to knock it off because if you two get my husband killed i can't be held responsible for what i do. youre not even dressed like a whore this time around, i dont know what kind of hex you cast on him but fucking stop it"

and jace would ignore this because to him thats classic aurora, pissed off at him for no reason & blaming him for shit he didn't do, until invidia is like "did you bring porter to fuck with perry on purpose because that's SO you and SO petty i love it" and jace is like "no of course not, i genuinely thought we could use another tank" and ysvelde is like "okay but like, you wanted to fuck with him a little bit, right? make him jealous?"

and jace (low int) finally gets it and is like oh my god. martial classes are all fucking IDIOTS. is that why theyve been absolutely fucking useless in every fight? i shouldve gone through with marrying you ysvelde my life would be so much easier if i'd done that. and THIS is when invidia and ysvelde spill all the drama to him about peregrine and aurora's crumbling marriage and jace comes clean about peregrine coming onto him at his own wedding. and they laugh and laugh and it's like old times for a brief moment.

and then peregrine and porter get into a physical fight bc peregrine doesnt like that porter's been very touchy-feely with jace lately and porter was like "what's it matter to you? he's mine now, not that he was ever yours" or some other creepy possessive bullshit like that. and jace has to separate them and talk both of them down (well he yells at porter and is very soft-spoken and simpering with peregrine) because they wont listen to anyone else.

MYATB ep 11 commentary

LETS GOOOOOO, live reaction because i was at work for 6 hours right when the episode released!! enjoy me going insane

Xiaobao my son he's all grown up and trying to go about this the smart way, trying to convince Su Yin with logical reasons, he's amazing. Though Su Yin not wanting to listen to him breaks my heart, I MEAN THE WAY HE LOOKED AT HIM I THOUGHT HE WOULD COMPLY :(

i dont know what it is about them telling the horses to go but it's so fucking funny each time I hear it.

WhATS THIS RANDOM MURDER AOOO these strangers are bloodthirsty

the flying was incredibly off but it's fine we love this terrible green screen it makes it better <3

shaoyu appearing there menacingly, thank you

wdym he must get the crimson dahlia before he dies, DO U WANT TO KILL HIM AFTER AR EU NOT EVEN GONNA MAKE THE EFFORT well you know what su yin, well played, slay, I'd also be that lazy

"do you believe everything people say?" THANK YOU SIMING MY ONLY MAN EVER.

oh my god que siming stayed too much with jinbao now he's starting to lose braincells again

OOO SU YIN GAVE HIM THE COLD SHOULDER??

HUAIEN!!!!!

HUAIEN WHAT THE FUCK. NOW YOURE BOTH POISONED.

"Can you save him?" "of course I can" QUE SIMING THE ONLY MAN EVER, ONCE MORE.

It's killing me how Huai'en is incredibly elated that Xiaobao is worried about him and is not in the slightest caring about the fact that he's poisoned

omfg don't tell me the side couple gets together behind the scenes fr I will SCREAM.

Why can't gay people be normal it's always "I love u so much I want to lock you up and never make you leave me ever" or "let me marry your bestie/servant or I will literally destroy you" wtf

"I think you need medical attention" no way que siming just told him he needs to be hospitalized /j su yin please just rest who cares about killing anyone

HAHHAHAHA ZHAOCAI AND XIAOBAO BEING SO SHOOK ABOUT JINBAO'S CONFESSION I love them. dumbasses.

your honor i love him ( #me)

zhaocai is just completely thunderstruck about jinbao's coming out

zhaocai is the token straight in this entire cast, he is revolted and disgusted by gay people and will become homophobic at the first next sight of que siming and I would understand

NOT THE TRANSITION FROM CUTE SCENE TO AGONY.

please stop this madness stop his pain I am going to CRY STOPPPPP

THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL THOUGH. I LOVE ANGSTY SCENES LIKE THIS MAN

theyre both gorgeous and make me feel sad

"If he comes back, what will you do with him" I'm going to kiss him AND U CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BOY

SU YIN JUST SAY YOU HAVE INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA AND GO please

i hope that was not su yin nearly crying because I cannot do this

THE SHADOWS ARE BACK

xiaoyu singlehandedly saves the plot

I love xiaoyu because when the guy drops all the lore shes like UNFORTUNATELY I COULDNT CARE LESS

UNFORTUNATELY, HUAI'EN COULDNT CARE LESS EITHER GET THEMMM

me, seeing a strange move: what was that :0 also me seeing a weird fx: ... and what was that-

"the more I want you the faster I lose you" RIP HUAI'EN YOU WOULDVE DONE NUMBERS ON TUMBLR.

well. that was it. wow what an episode. i thought we weren't going to suffer like tormented ants tonight and here I stand corrected.. i really thought su yin would cave to xiaobao's feelings and turn over a new leaf with huai'en but I guess I was wrong :( I WANT THOSE THREE TO BE HAPPY U DONT GET IT. THEIR DYNAMIC WOULD BE SO TASTY, as I'm sure others have realized

the little twist was nice, i was very sure that Li guy was cooked and instead no. Siming was still a chaos queen, zhaocai a mood, jinbao our beloved idiot and xiaobao victim of many torturous aches, I hope the shadows are okay and me? i just want to throw myself in the river if I cannot enter the screen and hug huai'en immediately. Thank you, see u tomorrow for another one pf these.

Vamp au stuff idk 

—-

A blanket of paranoia has descended upon Vesuvia. It starts out as nothing but rumor, joke. Very plainly no one gives a damn. 

But Asra sees past the half baked jokes, the laughter, the ignorance. He knows that something is brewing on the horizon. Vesuvia is about to change, immensely so. He tries not to let it get to him, yet. But he keeps an eye out.

Anything that's close to a sign, a hint. He gets it, in the form of sharp smiles and red eyes. Foreigners in Vesuvia have never been odd. The city is a melting pot, but this small batch of visitors gives him the creeps. 

They lack what he believes to be humanity. There's something so inhuman about the way they just- well, exist. Smiles the crack open like ice. Theyre  imposing, taller than most of the population, sporting the same purple robes so dark they would be mistaken for black without direct sunlight. Gold pendants and chains hanging off their necks. Their hands almost crooked, nails curved a little too much like an animal. 

Everyone calls him crazy. And in full honesty he starts to believe it, but the way Faust curls in on herself whenever one is near only confirms his suspicions. 

Word on the street is they're guests of the count, and that makes his skin crawl. Why are they patrolling the city day in and day out? 

He tries telling you as much, “i don't trust them…” he grumbles, elbow deep in laundry.

You only huff at him, “you don't even know them and you're making baseless assumptions.”

He only squints, lips turning to a frown, “if you tell me you don't feel the same weird aura from them you are a liar.”

“You just don't like what you can't understand.”

They suppose you're right. But still. 

—--

They want to hurl the moment you waltz into the shop, bright eyed and telling him all about the new friend you made. One of them.

Frankly you think they're being rather prejudiced and unkind, but he only shakes his head.

“I'm telling you I have a bad feeling about these guys.”

You wave him off and he suddenly feels nauseous. Something very bad is going to happen. And he's right.

—-

His first encounter is short and sweet, out to buy ingredients for dinner when he runs into one. Literally. Face first after they lose their balance on an old tile, loose and wobbly. 

Asra goes face first into his side, and he catches them, a little too quickly, nails digging into the flesh of his arm. 

“I'm sorry i didn't-” he's cut off by a smile as the man turns to him. A little too wide, one too many teeth. Sharp teeth. He yanks it back to his side in a hurry. Glaring at what's attached to the rest of the hand.

“Oh don't worry. Are you alright ? You look a little pale.” his eyelids droop so low Asra can't tell if they're even open anymore.

“No, I'm fine, thank you.” 

It doesn't take all that long for stranger occurrences to follow, all around Vesuvia. Things going missing, people forgetting where they are, why they're there. It's like a fog has descended on them all, clouding their mind.

When the first disappearances trickle in, Asra knows immediately they have something to do with it. 

Everyone flocks to the shop for protections, charms, spells and readings. Anything to keep them safe. They cling to him for reassurance but he can not give what he isn't certain of.

Asra advises them all to stay off the streets and keep the wandering close no none. They listen to him, all but you. You just have to do as you please.

You think you're some sort of martyr, able to save those who have been missing for weeks now, and the minds of those who stay.

When people start coming back is when panic truly begins to set. They come back but they aren't the same are they. They all sport the same red eyes. It's enough for Asra. he needs to leave. He feels suffocated. Theres always red eyes on him, no amount of magic can change that. 

When the attacks start he does he begin packing his things. The people have all gone mad. Succumb to insanity and desire. They're become carnal beasts, eyes red and w hunger that is inhuman as they are. They thirst for blood, either dead or alive. Each night they ravage the city, and each morning they are forced to pick the pieces up again.

He needs to leave.

But you insist on staying. If that's what you so wish to do, from your own foolish pride, in thinking you can make everything right, then so be it. He will not spend another night in fear, boarding up every window, casting protections till his hands shake, fearing for his beloved city so. 

He leaves. And you stay.

He wishes he never did. Oh how they wish you never turned into what drove them out in the first place. 

Two pricks on the side of your neck sealed your fate. Perhaps another two will undo it. 

[inevitablestars]

hi linds I'm really frustrated watching rn <3 so I would love to hear your thoughts on the current love island couples if you would like to share (don't worry about spoiling)

hiiii yes absolutely i have thoughts!!! okay going through current couples:

JaNa & Kenny: honestly top tier at this point. i love jana she knows shes hot and i love that for her! kenny actually treats her well and talks about her so highly and is just happy to be in a couple with her

Leah & Miguel: theyre okay. i really like leah because she owns up to her shit and also doesnt take shit from other people. and like miguel is okay compared to other people she's been with before... but mostly i just like her

Serena & Kordell: serena puts him in his place!!! she knows what she deserves and wont settle for less!!! kordell is genuinely so stupid but not in a malicious way so when he gets proved wrong hes like oh, right yeah youre right. and then moves on. i think they could totally last and i think theyre cute together. i also like the slow burn they went through bc serena wasnt ever really with anyone else but just needed to get to know kordell before trusting him and fully leaning into being a couple and thats so fair

Kaylor & Aaron: toxic!!!! aaron is sooo full of himself and will act like he takes accountability (referencing casa amor, get ready for this drama) but doesn't fully do that and leaves so much out and doesn't care at all when it ends up hurting kaylor. and kaylor keeps going back! its insane like she deserves better but shes so stuck on how aaron was earlier in the season that she wont open up to anyone else or realize how bad he is

Daniela & Rob: theyre... fine. i dont love how daniela switched over to rob so quickly when aaron was done with her and also the way rob just accepted that? like rob is awful but great for entertainment purposes but like them as a couple are so superficial and won't last. they're there still to egg on the aaron and kaylor drama but thats all

Nicole & Kendall: i hate kendall. he is the worst type of guy that acts like he's so nice and friendly and good with the girls and the guys but is. awful. the way he encourages all of the guys at casa and comes back and is confused why the girls are all mad at him??? also the way he talks about nicole is possessive and i dont like it theyre not even Official and she's not an object. i hate him!!!!! nicole could do so much better

Sierra & Harrison: (just happened!! caine is gone) why is sierra still here :/ im not at all interested in her bc she was a casa girl... like sorry but you were a plot device and we didn't sign up for you to get a spin off!! and harrison was on last season (i didnt watch usa last year im usually a uk guy so idk anything about him) but im not at all invested in them as a couple. i wouldve loved to see harrison break up nicole and kendall in the recoupling or even daniela and rob but instead he's with sierra and i hope they get the least votes from last night and go home

actually i want kendall to go home. i hope this vote leads to a recoupling where the two or three lowest voted couples are at risk and the guys pick a girl to go home and the girls pick a guy to go home. its one of my fav ways they do it because like its better than picking their own (like when andrea went home and the leah drama got intense again) but it might be too late in the season for that and it might just be lowest voted couple goes home

[evilcatgirlwizard]

man I wanna write an au of warriors where the prophesy about kin of your kin rival the stars etc etc and people just fucking freak out. Thunderclan has to fight off all the other clans just to *survive*. They all interpreted it as firestar's kin are gonna be so strong they're gonna destroy Starclan. So they have to destroy every Firestar relative Now or Else.

In one of these Many Many Battles, Leafpool is tending to Crowfeather in secret cuz he got hurt Extremely Bad and was gonna die if she didn't do anything because Windclan had left him behind. He's like wow women do love me huh. Leafpool ends up bringing him to Thunderclan and they Hesitantly accept this guy cuz well Leafpool said he was cool and was kicked out for being pro-Thunderclan and they REALLY REALLY need the warriors.

Leafpool and Squirrelflight still eventually have to leave, and the clan is genuinely fucking devestated. They all assume Crowfeather lured them into a trap, so he gets Executed. They can't spare the time to feed him, man. They just can't. They have to train the apprentices and hunt and patrol borders... He's a liability.

Though, of course, Leafpool and Squirrelflight come back with kits. Four, four kits. Lionkit, Jaykit, Hollykit, and Breezekit. Breezekit looks suspiciously like a certain suddenly dead tomcat, but no one thinks too hard because thank Starclan these two are alive. Squirrelflight says theyre hers, she just left and had them in secret with Leafpool at her side just in case clan camp was attacked. So sorry for the worry. No One Cares they're just so glad a capable warrior and Leafpool are *back*.

Leaf asks where Crowfeather is. Everyone else looks at each other weirdly. Firestar, haggard and losing a life every other moon, is the one who tells her. Leafpool is *appalled*. They... they would just ***kill him***? Without even waiting? She knows times aren't good, but he was an innocent cat. He was her... friend. She saved his life and her father took it away. Leafpool is so utterly destroyed by this, two days later she takes Breezekit and Hollykit and runs off to Windclan. Sure, Windclan may be rallying against her father, but she's a medicine cat. And these kits look like Crowfeather. She can pass them off as Crowfeather's kits with a loner. Or something. Her excuses don't matter because Windclan accepts her. Not... not easily, but Onestar isn't so far gone down the Thunderclan hate train that he won't allow a medicine cat (notably celibate) return two Windclan kits to Windclan. And stay, to heal more Windclan cats. This is fine.

Proper all-clan gatherings stopped happening the moon the war on Thunderclan began. The clans are so caught up in destroying Thunderclan that they can't even leave their territory without being viciously attacked. The three other clans do meet, though, just while keeping Thunderclan in their place, stagnating and hopefully dying. Leafpool ends up being asked to join one of these gatherings, and ends up getting pestered by everyone. What happened to Crowfeather, what did Thunderclan do to him and you that even you, their medicine cat, left? How far have they fallen?

Leafpool, still upset, doesn't help her kin. She speaks clearly and openly, and lies out of her teeth to protect her young. Crowfeather was captured at the end of a battle between Thunder and Wind, and Leafpool was tasked with healing him. Eventually she broke him out however, and helped him flee Thunderclan. In the wilderness, he met and befriended... Pond, an orange she-cat who kept him safe and happy. He and her had... four kits. She says his other two kits, Jay and Lion, are still in Thunderclan. Because they tracked Crowfeather down, killed him and Pond, and took his kits, intending to train them to destroy their father's clan. Leafpool hated this, and hated patching up murderers, so she took as many kits as she could carry--only two, sadly--and fled. She now stands as a medicine cat, who took a vow of chastity by the way she may be Firestar's kin but she doesn't have any powers and she's never had kits because she's a medicine cat ahhahahaha, rebelling against Thunderclan. And the other three clans are like oh hell yeah we're justified. And Leafpool is like wait. I don't want my dad and family destroyed. Oh fuck and shit I made a mistake in my post-Crowfeather Being Murdered Anger. Oh No.

it'd be this harrowing story of Lion and Jay having to come into their powers much sooner to even keep Thunderclan *alive*, and of Holly and Breeze (I just like him), *also* developing powers and being like hm. What does this say about me as a cat. maybe someone is lying. While Leafpool is subtly sabotaging the effort to kill her family and trying to keep secrets and mourning the life she could have had if she hadn't been so stupid and reckless.

TUESDAY, 7:29 PM

Oscar (over text): have you told nora abt our talk?

Courtney (over text): yup. told her i dont think its a good idea. Courtney (over text): shes still into him tho, that apparently hasnt changed since last year

Oscar (over text): wait Oscar (over text): you said its not a good idea Oscar (over text): we agreed they were perfect for each other

Courtney (over text): yeah Courtney (over text): but i also said i wont encourage it because theyre both in relationships

Oscar (over text): right Oscar (over text): hes into her tho, i think he'll break up with rachel soon to get with her

Courtney (over text): i dont think she'll break up with giov, she is all for communication and fixing problems rather than walking away from them

Oscar (over text): sure

Courtney (over text): why do you ask?

Oscar (over text): bcz i told javier to go for it

Courtney (over text): what? Courtney (over text): why would you do that??

Oscar (over text): relax Oscar (over text): he wont do anything stupid Oscar (over text): he knows the limits _______________________________________

Nora: Hey, Javier. What brings you here?

Javier: I was going to walk our dog, but Oscar took him on a hike after school so he wasn't in a mood for another walk. Unlike me.

Nora: I didn't know you have a dog. What breed?

Javier: A german shepherd called Rex. We got him like 4 months ago.

Nora: Oh, cute! Like Kommissar Rex?

Javier: Quite the opposite, actually. I think Oscar specifically trained him not to bark when he smells w*ed.

Nora: What about dead bodies?

Javier: I'll let you know when he finds one.

Nora: Deal.

Javier: So... What are you doing here, all the way on this side of town?

Nora: Oh, I umm... I had a date with Giovanni. If we could even call it a date...

Javier: What do you mean?

Nora: Well, we ran into some bumps in our relationship that we're trying to work out. It's not going so good for now, but it will be.

Javier: Oh, right... Anything you'd like to get off your chest?

Nora: Not really, sorry. I think I'll expose our dirty laundry just to Courtney for now, haha.

Javier: That's understandable. Sorry for bringing it up.

Nora: Don't worry about it, I'm fine.

Javier: Do you want to go get something to eat?

Nora: Umm, I don't know...

Javier: Come on, Nora, I don't bite.

Nora: Sure. Let's go.

Vivian: I heard Marianne Hawthorne is running for mayor in the next round, against Ignacio.

Margrit: She sure is... It's scary how good her percentages look, but despite that I don't think she has a shot of winning.

Vivian: Not for now at least... A lot can change in two months.

Margrit: I just don't understand how someone in this day and age can support everything she stands up for... One of the last things she said was that she feels like we should shut down the bars and night clubs, fill our town with surveillance systems and set a curfew. Who would want that?

Vivan: That's a terrible idea. Courtney tells me all the time that this town is quite boring and small and that her and Oscar are planning to move away as soon as they finish high school. Imagine what will happen if they do shut down the bars... The teens will be so bored I wouldn't be surprised they started robbing everyone.

Margrit: Speaking of... Nora told me you guys are thinking about setting a security system in your place.

Vivian: Ahh, Courtney really wants to, but we haven't talked about it properly, just kind of mentioned it.

Margrit: I agree with her. Ever since I heard they're turning that equestrian center into a movie studio, I'm thinking we are going to have a lot more visitors on our hill.

Vivian: Hmm, good thinking. Alright, if you and Jaap decide to go for it, Peter and I will discuss it as well. I just don't want to end up with a "smart home" that turns out to be tracking my every move and if it malfunctions can lock me out forever.

Margrit: Modern technology is our friend, Vivian.

Vivian: I'll believe is when I experience it first-hand.

Margrit: Have you at least thought about hiring a butler or a bodyguard?

Vivian: A butler sounds like a good idea, but Kevin Costner is a little bit unnecessary if you ask me.

Margrit: I'm thinking about Kevin Costner a lot these days. If Marianne gets even better numbers I'll definitely start to fear for myself because I don't think we have the same supporters.

Vivian: Whatever floats your boat... _______________________________________

TUESDAY, 8:43 PM

Rachel: Hey, guys!

Nora: Oh... Hi, Rachel. You look great.

Rachel: Thanks! What's up? What are you doing here?

Nora: Well, we were just-

Rachel: Hey, babe!

Javier: Hey. So... We were just getting some food.

Rachel: Yeah? You two? Together?

Javier: No. We ran into each other in the restaurant. Right, Nora?

Nora: Yes. Total coincidence.

Javier: I thought you were grounded.

Rachel: I was, but dad said I'm not anymore so I went for a walk.

Nora: You live around here?

Rachel: I'm over at Sim Lane. What about you?

Nora: Summer Hill Court.

Rachel: Oh, wow. Didn't think you're that rich.

Nora: What's that supposed to mean?

Rachel: Nothing.

Javier: Okay, ladies...

Rachel: Walk me home, babe?

Javier: Of course. Nora, how are you getting home?

Nora: I'll just get a taxi.

Javier: Let me pay for it.

Nora: No, no, you don't have to-

Rachel: Yeah, babe, she can afford it. Come on, let's go.

Javier: Alright, alright... Bye, Nora!

Nora: Bye guys, good night! _______________________________________

Victor: Where's your sister?

Trevor: She said she's going to the store to buy something. Maybe a yogurt or a shampoo... I don't know, I wasn't really listening.

Victor: You know she's still grounded, right?

Trevor: Yeah, but... She just went to the store.

Victor: We'll see about that.

Trevor: Why are you so hard on her?

Victor: Because her behavior is awful. She's does just below average in school, she's mean and always has an attitude towards your mother and me... I thought her dating Ignacio's son will put some more sense in her, but I guess not.

Trevor: That doesn't make any sense.

Victor: Why not? Javier is a good boy - just like you.

Trevor: Well, yeah, I know... But, he isn't responsible for her upbringing.

Victor: Look, son, I'm grasping at straws here. I'm actually amazed how your mother and I made you who's so well-behaved and her who's a complete opposite.

Trevor: She's not that bad...

Victor: We didn't raise her to behave this way so, yeah - she is that bad. And now she snuck out with God knows who and where.

Trevor: Alright, dad, calm down. You've had a long day so why don't you take off your suit and go rest, maybe check your blood pressure and I'll let you know when Rachel's home.

Victor: Fine. Samantha! Where's our blood pressure cuff?! _______________________________________

TUESDAY, 9:18 PM

Jodokus: Come on, you have the first move.

Nora: Oh, right. Yeah... Sorry, I'm just distracted a bit.

Jodokus: You asked me to help you prepare for the competition. You can't just have a "bad day" when your opponent is sitting at the other end of the table.

Nora: You're absolutely right. Let's go.

Jodokus: We can still talk about whatever's bothering you.

Nora: It's hard to explain.

Jodokus: Ah... Love troubles?

Nora: I guess you could call it that.

Jodokus: Is Giovanni mean like his siblings?

Nora: What do you mean?

Jodokus: His sister Angelica is de duivel - she makes fun of Stella Morris every day for being an orphan just because she lives with her brother and sister, says Marissa Ramos must be a part of a cartel just because she's mexican and even tells Elena, her own cousin, that she's stupid. She's not stupid, she just has a short attention span.

Nora: That's horrible, poor girls... Giovanni is not that bad. I mean, I guess he could show a bit more compassion, make more time for me and stop lying to me, but-

Jodokus: Your move again.

Nora: -I don't want to break up with him - that's like running away from the problem. I want to teach him how to communicate better and give our relationship a real shot.

Jodokus: Zus, calm down. You've been in an official relationship for less than a week. Besides, you're not Bob de Bouwer - stop trying to fix everyone. No one will look down on you if you walk away now.

Nora: That's like surrendering to your opponent for a draw just so you can win half a point.

Jodokus: Well... Eerlijk is eerlijk.

Nora: When did you get so wise?

Jodokus: I like to eavesdrop when the grown-ups are talking.

Nora: I should join you sometime. _______________________________________

WEDNESDAY, 6:46 AM

Courtney: Good mor- Who the f*ck are you?!

Javon: Good morning, miss Courtney. My name is Javon and I was hired as your butler.

Courtney: Oh, so that's why I had to move into a room upstairs.

Javon: Upstairs is always safer, miss Courtney. Less break-ins and less peeping Toms. Have a seat, I'll serve you some breakfast.

Courtney: Thanks...

Peter: Good morning!

Courtney: Dad, why didn't you tell me you were hiring a butler?

Peter: It was your mother's doing. She called the service last night after Nora's mom gave her that idea.

Courtney: Why couldn't we get an alarm like normal people?

Peter: Well, your mother's argument was that the butler is like a "human alarm". Same efficiency, similar cost, but a butler would never lock you out of your house or make noise when the wind blows a bit harder.

Courtney: Sure, but... A butler? What are we - the royal family?

Peter: You're acting like we have an image problem when in reality, everyone in our position would do the same.

Courtney: Whatever... _______________________________________

WEDNESDAY, 10:32 AM

Caroline: I love it!

George: I love it, too! Especially this carpet you found at the flea market, it really ties the room together.

Caroline: I love the fact you suggested mismatched sofas. I have to admit I was really skeptical at first, but now that I see how great it looks... I love it.

George: And I love you.

Caroline: I love you, too. And thank you for upgrading the bar.

George: I know how much you want and need it to practice your mixology skill. I put more money aside right after you first told me that you wanted to have your own bar a few years ago.

Caroline: You're wonderful.

George: I wish I could stay here with you the whole day.

Caroline: I know, me too...

George: Listen - after work I was hired for a private reading so I'll be home in the evening. Luke told me he's having a friend over after school so just keep an eye on them, please.

Caroline: Of course. Which friend?

George: He said we haven't met them yet, but I think he said his name is Nick, or Nicholas. Maybe Nicolaj?

Caroline: Yeah, OK, no problem. _______________________________________

WEDNESDAY, 3:57 PM

Javier (over text): i didn't catch you at school today, but i just wanted to apologize for last night. i had no idea rachel was going to show up

Nora (over text): don't worry about it

Javier (over text): i had a great time

Nora (over text): me too

Javier (over text): maybe we could continue our hangout some other time. this weekend?

Nora (over text): yeah Nora (over text): maybe

Javier (over text): alright then Javier (over text): see you soon, nora

Nora (over text): see you soon, javier _______________________________________

Brendon: You're doing great, mr. Ramos! Just keep following the rhythm of my bass kick.

Javier: Hey, you guys sound great! Way to go, dad!

Zane: Yeah, mr. Ramos, we're amazing with you!

Marissa: Look, Rex! Don't they sound great? _______________________________________

Nicole: Nice to meet you, mrs. Highmore.

Caroline: Please, call me Caroline. Makes me feel younger.

Nicole: I was raised to use formal forms when talking to someone older than me so I'll have to get used to that.

Caroline: You don't have to be formal with me, Nicole.

Luke: Alrighty, so-

Caroline: You're so pretty. And I love your style.

Nicole: Oh, thank you.

Caroline: I'm surprised Luke hasn't told me anything about you.

Nicole: I'm not. We only started hanging out a few days ago because we're working on a physics presentation together.

Caroline: Physics, huh? Sounds fun!

Luke: It's really fun, but-

Caroline: Would you guys like something to drink? I have to practice making cocktails for my future bar, but don't worry - I can make you something virgin!

Luke (whispering): Caroline, please...

Nicole: We're alright for now, maybe after we finish homework.

Caroline: Right! Yeah... Sorry! Homework first! You guys have fun and let me know if you need anything. I'll be around here somewhere.

Luke (whispering): Thank you.

Luke: Nicole, let's go to the kitchen.

Luke: Sorry about that, she's just really extroverted.

Nicole: She seems great, I love the fact she genuinely sounded happy to meet me. I'm not usually good with meeting moms.

Luke: We'll, Caroline is not my mom so maybe that's why meeting her went so well, haha!

Luke: Oh, God... That was mean, I'm so sorry.

Nicole: Come on, Luke, it was a good joke! Don't be so hard on yourself. I can laugh at my own expense.

Luke: I know, I'm sorry... I'm still not quite anxiety-free when I talk to you so I'm constantly scared I'll say something wrong.

Nicole: You're adorable. Let's get back to work now. _______________________________________

Felina: Ehi, ciao, Samantha!

Samantha: Hi, Felina. How's it going?

Felina: Fine. What are you reading?

Samantha: It's just a recipe book. Federico wants to add a pumpkin pie to the menu during autumn so he made this competition for us employees who's going to make the best one.

Felina: Oh, che bello! Mind if I sit down?

Samantha: Go ahead.

Felina: So... How are you? I haven't seen you since the dinner party at our house.

Samantha: Yeah, well, it was all a bit too dramatic for us so Victor and I decided to take a break from parties and other forms of gatherings. He's also been diagnosed with hypertension so we're trying not to put him in stressful situations.

Felina: Not every hangout with us is stressful, Samantha. We're good people.

Samantha: Except your sister-in-law.

Felina: No family in this town is perfect.

Samantha: I guess you're right.

Felina: I feel like something else is bothering you.

Samantha: Mostly my daughter. She has been really acting up lately and I try my best to avoid her when I see she's in one of her moods.

Felina: My daughter is also in her rebellious phase, but I'm sure it will pass. Our sons are behaving relatively okay.

Samantha: Do you have some advice?

Felina: Avoiding them won't do them any good. You never know - Rachel might be acting up because she lacks your attention.

Samantha: But whenever I try to talk to her she says she "doesn't have time for this" and leaves the room.

Felina: That doesn't mean you should also leave the room.

Samantha: Yeah, maybe...

Felina: I have to get going now, but call me if you want to talk more about this topic. I might not be the best mother in the world, but at least I can understand your struggles.

Samantha: Sure. Thanks, Felina. Sorry I didn't call you these last couple of days.

Felina: Don't worry about it. Good luck with pumpkin pie. Arrivederci! _______________________________________

WEDNESDAY, 7:34 PM

Brendon: Dude, you're dad is great, but he can't be in the band.

Zane: Yeah, man, we can't have an old man in the band. That's weird.

Oscar: Relax you two, he's only here temporary so we can hear how we sound with the bass. Also, f*ck you guys, my dad is cool.

Zane: Do we know anyone who plays bass?

Brendon: Maybe Deron plays bass.

Zane: Who's Deron? Oscar: Why Deron?

Brendon: Deron Jackson is a guy from our class, his mom is a bass player so maybe he knows a few notes.

Zane: No way, his mom is Sheena Jackson?

Brendon: Yes! Did you hear she got divorced?

Zane: Oh, d*mn! When did that happ-

Oscar: Guys! Focus!

Brendon: Wait, Zane, doesn't your mom also play bass?

Zane: No, she's a pianist. That's why I play keyboards, duh!

Brendon: I'm almost certain there was another famous bass player in our town... What about Skip's mom?

Oscar: I don't know about Skip's mom, I think you're thinking of Lily Tanner - she is Luke's mom. And I think she plays guitar.

Zane: Wait wait wait... Lily Tanner is not Skip Tanner's mom? That's f*cking up my gray matter.

Oscar: Oh, what about Nicole Mills?

Brendon: Nope. She took guitar lessons in elementary school, but doesn't play anymore.

Oscar: I'm not even going to ask how you knew that.

Zane: Maybe she could switch to bass. You know... They're similar instruments and she must have some muscle memory.

Brendon: Yeah, we should ask her! I'll go to her house and ask her right now, no problem!

Oscar: Calm down. Let's go back to Luke...

Zane: He looks like he plays cello. Or any wind instrument.

Brendon: Guys, we should stick with Nic-

Oscar: No! I'm certain Luke plays bass because I just remembered him telling that to Javier a few months ago.

Zane: OK, let's ask Luke!

Brendon: Ugh, fine. We'll have to give him a makeover then.

Zane: I agree.

Oscar: Why?!

Zane: Does Luke look like he plays in "The Crimson Echoes" to you?

Brendon: We could shave his head. That's edgy.

Zane: And get him a leather jacket.

Brendon: What about leather pants?

Oscar: Guys, STOP! I'm going to ask Luke tomorrow at school and you're not touching his appearance. Got it?

Brendon: Fine. _______________________________________

George: Nice to meet you, Nicole.

Nicole: Nice to meet you, too, mr. Highmore.

George: Are you staying for dinner?

Nicole: Oh, I wasn't really planning to. Luke and I are almost finished with our work and I'll go home right after that.

George: Alright then, but know that you're always welcome.

Caroline: Yeah, I'd like to get to know you better!

Nicole: You're too kind, thank you.

Luke: Let's finish this in my room. _______________________________________

Nicole: So, I think we have everything. We've filled the slides quota, we've covered all the basics and haven't deviated from the topic too much. I just want to check something...

Luke: You have a whole computer in front of you and you're using the textbook?

Nicole: Yeah, because I know exactly where I can find exactly what I was looking for... Here!

Luke: "Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve." Oh, wow, that's a nice quote.

Nicole: Right? We can use it for the final slide. I think our teacher would like that.

Luke: Nicole?

Nicole: Yeah?

Luke: Now that this project is over... A-Are we still going to hang out?

Nicole: Umm... Sure. Why?

Luke: Well, we haven't hung out before and our friend groups are overall pretty different so...

Nicole: I'd love to keep hanging out with you.

Luke: Really?

Nicole: Yes! I was so glad when we got that physics assignment because it was a great ice breaker to talk to you. And, judging by our interaction that night in front of Hogan's, I think you felt the same.

Luke: Y-Yeah, totally...

Nicole: I repeat, I'd love to keep hanging out with you, so call me whenever you want to do something. I mean it.

Luke: Oh, that's great!

Nicole: I have to go now, but I'll see you soon, OK?

Luke: OK! Bye, Nicole!

[menlove]

random question but what do you think about the biopic news so far ?? or you worried about how they’ll be depicted & what’ll mean for their legacy with young people ? im really curious how the john and paul dynamic will play out

i'm not tooooo worried bc i don't see them being like... huge smash hits (although if they are and they suck and that changes their legacy i'm killing myself in the street and i'm taking the stranger things guy with me) so largely i'm planning on just watching them going "huh, that was (neat/awful/boring/fine)" and then moving on

i WILL say the one thing that's had me twisted up unable to sleep since a complete unknown is how they're gonna handle the beatle girls. bc the things they did to joan in that movie was craaazy and then i read an article about dylan's real life girlfriend at the time, suze and i have the fear of god in me now. like how they butchered suze's character to make her issues w bob just that he was having an affair w joan & cheating in general, rather than her ownnnn words you can find in her book talking about how she was a lot more independent than he wanted from a girlfriend or what Any famous male musician wanted from their girlfriends at the time.

so i'm notttt looking forward to how they're gonna portray cyn/jane/pattie/mo/yoko/linda (and if they'll even show barbara/olivia at all which i HIGHLY doubt). and while all of those worry me i'm honestly like mostly bracing myself for what they're gonna do to jane. like already fandom does the same exact thing where they pretend like their only issue was paul's cheating when the only evidence of that comes from fucking francie of all people and from what jane said, paul was the one to break up with her. but from a lot of accounts i've seen around (not hunting that down for me rambling), it really does have that same sort of flavor that the whole bob & suze situation did where he did Not like how independent and career focused she was (in turns- i think it benefited him when it suited him lmfao).

and THEN i worry about if she'll even show up at all or if she's just gonna get oc'd like suze bc paul is still the one alive & invested in the legacy and he's never been very public about what happened with him and jane and neither has she. which is like a fine choice to make i think esp if jane herself wouldn't want to be depicted in some fuckass biopic, but i worry about what that oc is gonna look like. and THEN i worry about if one will exist at ALL or if they're gonna spin it like paul really was this single bachelor just fucking around with random girls until he met his soulmate linda.... and i wouldn't be shocked if that was what they went with given that paul is alive and would Like to keep up the myth of his & linda's marriage being like that

and then re everyone else i'm gonna be shocked stunned and floored if they even REMOTELY touch on john & ringo's abuse like at MOST i can see them having john snap at cyn and giving them Marital Tension that cuts out the physical aspect but there's no way in hell esp when ringo is alive that theyre gonna be like yeah he married a really young woman and then beat her bc of his alcoholism. and YOKO? don't even get me started

i just think it's gonna be a bit of a mess to see how they handle their really fucking awful relationships with women bc inevitably they're going to skirt over a lot of really unsavory shit to make them look better and like that's to be expected but i'm so not looking forward to what's gonna be put in instead....

THAT'S SO LONG I JUST. I'M SCARED. WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO TO MY GIRLS.
