#this is rushed bc work aaaaaa

[anachronismstellar]

Shhh I know I was supposed to be working but! I had to write @notsofrozt a little something!

Happy birthday bro!! May your day be a nice one, and that you see nice snakes and have delicious cake! I hope you like this little cumplane moment <3

*throws cumplane fic and runs away*

The cake was a last minute idea. Considering the ingredients he had at hand, it wasn't bad, but there was so much he could do without any modern stuff like chocolate or food dye.

But he made a point of brewing Cucumber's favorite tea! And the biscuits he seemed to actually like, not the ones they served during the Peak Lord meetings.

The table was set, and he got hold of the smallest candle An Ding Peak had at their inventory, immediately putting it on top of the cake.

He felt silly. Maybe he shouldn't- He wasn't even sure of the date, the System could have the wrong files, urgh this was stupid-

The door opened and Shen Qingqiu stepped inside on his full glory, soft green robes fluttering behind him in the same tempo of his fan.

Damn, it was almost unfair how Cucumber was good at being elegant.

"Why did you have to call me her- what."

Well, elegant until they were along, at least.

"Bro! I've got a notification from the System! Happy birthday!!"

"What?!" Cucumber glared even harder, only then noticing Airplane's attempt on a birthday cake. "What is that?!"

"Now, don't say that without trying first, I didn't write all purpose flour, so uh."

"Airplane."

"Yes?"

"Is this-" he paused, blinking a few times before slowly closing his fan. "Is this a birthday party?"

"Yes?" and now he was even more nervous than before. "System said it was your birthday and hey, I know how you miss our other uh town, and I miss it too, so why not right?"

"Did you bake this?"

"Yes? Yes! And I bought the nice orange biscuits you like!"

Cucumber glare became less and less murder-ly and more and more surprised. Then he looked at everything once more and seemed to make up his mind, sitting in front of the table, arms crossed.

"Well?"

"Uh. What?"

"Aren't you going to sing happy birthday?"

Airplane had gone through a lot of different experiences in these past years. A lot of bad ones. Unexpected ones. But... Well.

He had to admit that being bossed around by Cucumber-bro was the most normal thing he could have dealt with, since his writer days.

And after he sang and they shared cake and tea, with Cucumber-bro hiding his smile behind the his fan, he couldn't help but feel a but proud of himself. His books might never be up to Cucumber-bro's standards (they were impossible to be met anyway), but he would win his favorite hater over in some other ways.

Binghe had learned his cooking from somewhere after all.

omg i have this idea where its back in the college party days and y/n has had way too much to drink and rafe being the great fwb he is whisk her away back to his dorm but she keeps initiating sex but rafe keeps refusing bc she’s drunk but y/n keeps trying and eventually get off on his lap :3

aaaaaa this is so good 🤭 went with possessive/mean rafe here… it just felt right 👀

based on this fic! 18+!

» au masterlist

rafe is sure she’s had enough to drink when she starts table dancing. the guys in the frat house are cheering her on as she moves to the loud music and as much as rafe enjoys the sight of her dancing, he beckons her off the table.

he knows if she lets her go any longer, people might start recording her, and she’ll be mortified considering enough people on his campus know her as one of the cheerleaders on their rival college’s basketball team. and because he genuinely sees her as a friend now, he wants to spare her the embarrassment.

she’s laughing as they rush out of the house into the warm night, her hand at the crook of rafe’s elbow.

“why are we leaving?” she slurs.

“because you looked like you were about to start stripping,” rafe murmurs.

admittedly, even though they’re just messing around, he doesn’t like the idea of guys looking at her like that. she doesn’t belong to him, but sometimes he likes to think that she does.

“is that so bad?” she says. “could’ve earned some tips.”

“you’re so fucking drunk,” he laughs.

“where are we going?”

“my place.”

“oh,” she says. “what are we gonna do?”

“sleep.”

once they get into rafe’s dorm and she presses him up against the wall to kiss him, she realizes he’s going to keep teasing her when he gives her a chaste kiss on her lips and gently pushes her back at her shoulders.

“i’ll get you a shirt to sleep in,” he tells her.

“wait, you were being serious?” she says. “we’re just here to sleep?”

“yeah. you’re wasted.”

she looks up at him with a confused pout. having her here for himself while she’s so obviously horny is turning him on, but it feels wrong doing anything with her that she might forget.

just a few nights ago, they fell into conversation about flings they regret, and she told him she hates when she can’t remember all the details of a hook-up because she was too drunk.

it’s not like he’s just being a good guy. this isn’t all about nobility. he refuses to be part of anything she’d want to take back because if she regrets tonight, she might never want to hook up with him again.

“i would still want to if i was sober, if that’s what you’re worried about,” she says. “i always want to with you.”

coming from her, the compliment makes rafe’s cheeks go hot.

“still, it’s…” rafe steps away. “i can’t.”

she’s still confused as he keeps his back to her, rifling through his dresser. playing along, she pulls off her top and her jeans and her bra, breathing a sigh of relief once she’s out of her tight clothes.

when he turns around and sees her in just her panties, he stills. the way his eyes travel down her body makes it clear to her that he wants to fuck just as bad as she does.

“here,” he finally says, holding out a shirt for her. she steps closer to him, taking it.

“thanks.” she doesn’t rush to put it on. she’s too dizzy.

rafe clears his throat. at this point, he’s hard enough for her to be able to see it under his jeans.

she settles on his bed, putting on the shirt while he pulls his off. she gapes at his muscular body, crossing her legs just to relieve the ache between her legs.

he turns away as he takes off his jeans, but she already noticed what he’s trying to hide.

“you’re hard,” she says, leaning back.

rafe glances over his shoulder. she’s trying to seduce him. it’s almost working.

“obviously,” he says tensely, seeing her sitting pretty in his bed. “look at you.”

he starts to look for shorts to sleep in. but she reaches out to grab his hand.

“then why don’t we do something about it?”

she pulls him closer. while he could undoubtedly withstand her strength, he chooses not to, sinking next to her on his bed, left in just his boxers.

“do i need to prove to you how bad i want it?” she whispers, sitting up to straddle him.

rafe’s lips twist in frustration. he’s so hard that it hurts at this point. he feels like an idiot to not give her what she obviously wants, to not rip off what little clothes remain between them and fuck her as hard as he can, but it just doesn’t feel right.

“you’re too drunk,” he says, lids low as he tilts his head to meet her stare.

in her haze, she can finally see that he’s not teasing. he’s being serious. she’s disappointed, but flashes a small, understanding smile.

the look on her face makes rafe feel guilty. and he hardly ever feels guilty.

“sorry,” she says. “we’ll go to bed.”

she starts to swing her leg off him, but feels his fingers press into her thigh.

“wait,” he sighs.

he holds her hips tightly, pulling her down to sit on his bare thigh. when he feels how wet she is through her panties, arousal twists tightly in his stomach.

“damn,” he groans. “you really wanna get off that bad, hmm?”

“let’s…” she says breathily. “let’s go to bed. you don’t have to do this-”

“i won’t be doing anything,” he interrupts.

when he pushes his leg up against her, her breath hitches. she follows his lead, putting the slightest amount of pressure on him, slowly rolling her hips forward and finally finding a bit of relief, letting out a happy sigh.

heat pricks every inch of his skin. this is already a nearly impossible test of willpower.

“that feel good?” rafe’s voice is low and rough.

“yeah,” she says. she meets his eyes, her lips slightly parted as she rests her hands on his shoulders.

“what were you doing dancing like that?” his thumbs press harder into her hips, almost like he’s punishing her for getting him so turned on when he can’t do anything about it.

“having fun,” she whines. she grinds against his hard thigh again, the friction making goosebumps bloom on her skin.

rafe’s hand runs up the curve of her hip and dips under the shirt draped over her body, cupping her breast.

“you can’t be doing that anymore, you understand?” he mutters.

“i understand,” she answers breathily. right now, she’ll say anything he wants her to let her keep doing this.

her writhes start to get harder. when he pinches her nipple, she moans and her eyes flutter shut. he stares at her, the way her pretty features fall in pleasure.

he hates the thought of another man seeing her like this. and he hates that he cares. he tells himself it’s the blue balls making him so angry and possessive.

“were you hoping some other guy would take you home?” he says, flexing his thigh. she moans again at the pressure, grinding with fervent hunger.

“no.” she shakes her head. “no.”

her breaths start to get faster as she rides him, body tensing from the pressure, from the way he’s playing with her tits.

“you think another guy would let you use him like this?” he says.

she leans closer, capturing his lips, kissing him out of sheer appreciation. their tongues meet, hot against each other.

“thank you,” she breathes, her forehead pressed against his.

“yeah, you better fucking thank me,” rafe mutters.

her grip on his shoulders tightens as she rolls her hips, thighs aching as the friction on her clit is finally enough to make her body shake in release.

she rides out her orgasm, trembling on top of him, moaning so loud that rafe can’t wait until the next time he can be inside of her, earning those sounds from her in his favorite way.

she stays seated on his lap, panting in his ear. her entire body is tingling in pleasure and exhaustion.

his cock is throbbing with how turned on he is. but he wraps an arm around her waist, guiding her onto his pillow, looking down at her lying in his bed with her chest heaving and her eyes shut.

when she wakes up, her head in splitting pain. she shuffles to feel rafe’s arm draped over her, his chest against her back.

she rubs her eye with her knuckle. the ache of her hangover hits her immediately.

“you want another shot?” rafe grumbles behind her, the smile in his voice apparent.

“ugh,” she says, nauseous at the thought of it. “you’re a dick.”

“what?” he laughs, playing dumb.

she shuts her eyes again. as she stretches out her legs, she feels his erection against her ass. and then she recalls bits and pieces of last night. him refusing to hook up since she was so wasted. getting off on his lap. thanking him. coming so hard that her body went numb.

“did i dance on a table last night?” she murmurs.

“you remember, huh?”

“fuck,” she whispers into his pillow. rafe hopes she doesn’t remember his show of possession last night. she doesn’t seem to.

“you wouldn’t have sex with me,” she recalls.

“no matter how much you begged.”

he expects her to tease him back, but she doesn’t.

“i’m definitely sober now,” she says, pushing up against him. “if you want to.”

she feels him twitch against her. she wants this. and he deserves it.

“i think you do,” she says.

rafe impatiently pulls her panties down. she raises her leg, feeling the head of his cock pressing against her as he guides himself between her legs.

he groans into her hair once he sinks into her, enjoying the familiar feeling of her heat wrapped around him. this is the best way to start his morning, deep inside her.

he doesn’t build up the pace. instead, he starts slamming her from behind at the speed he wants, hand on her hip as he fucks her just how he likes.

unlike every other time they’ve fucked, it doesn’t take long for him to come, his hips striking against her ass in sporadic jerks.

they’re both breathless when he pulls out. eventually, she finally finds the strength to sit up. she looks back at him, offering him a tired smile despite her aching head as she starts to pull off his shirt.

“just give it back later,” rafe says.

he feels off. he knows they’re friends. that this isn’t their last time hooking up. but it’s weirdly comforting for her to hold on to something of his and have a reason to see him again.

she shrugs and keeps his shirt on, finding her pants on the floor. he watches her pull her jeans on, wishing he knew how to shake this feeling she gives him that no other girl ever has.

“thanks. i’ll see you soon,” she says, heading for the door.

rafe finds himself thinking he can’t wait until then.

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Your breath tickled his cheek and he smiled. You couldn't see it, but his eyes crinkled the way you loved it. He missed you so much, so, so much.

Seungcheol had been gone a few months for their tour. When he told you his flight home would be a red-eye flight, arriving in the ungodly hours of the morning, he knew better than to expect you to be there to fetch him. He knew how busy you were already after all the work stories you were telling him over videocalls, with him constantly wishing he could be beside you instead to calm you the way he knew would work.

So when he arrived home, it took all his willpower to wake you up—he admired how adorable you looked in your sleep. But he knew you'd be in for a more pleasant surprise when you saw him in the flesh after so long.

“Wake up, baby.” You felt gentle lips land on your forehead, half-waking you from your deep slumber. Stop waking me up, was your immediate thought.

“Ten more minutes, mom.” You bat away the offending lips with a hand, and Seungcheol bit back the giggle threatening to come out.

“I’m home, love. Wake up.” You open your eyes and find his smiling ones, calm and comforting. Your line of sight then drifts to the clock hanging on the wall behind him—7:00 am. Oh, no.

“FUCK I’M LATE.”

Well, there went a supposedly peaceful morning.

You jumped out of your seat and hopped into the shower without even batting an eye toward Cheol, who was stunned to silence after your exclamation.

He just followed you to the shower and stood by the door. “Baby, what are you late for?”

“The board meeting! It’s in an hour!”

Ah, shit. Yep, he told you how important this specific board meeting was. It explains why he found you the way he did, slumped over your desk with an open laptop and sheets of paper strewn across it. You must’ve worked late into the wee hours of the morning while he was flying home.

You rush through your shower, your skincare routine, your breakfast that—thankfully—Cheol prepared in a rush while you were preoccupied. You were flying between your room and the dining room and the bathroom, frazzled and scatterbrained—both of which you could not afford to be this morning.

You shrug on your blazer while attempting to even out your eyebrow makeup, which you soon abandon because the piece of bread you were chewing was attempting to block your airway with how fast you were trying to chew. You rush to the kitchen to grab a drink, but then—

“FUCK!”

The sound of shattering glass resounded across the apartment. You were drenched, water soaking through your business attire and the kitchen floor following suit, the large shards from the broken pitcher were scattered across the floor. You were rendered still in shock, trying but failing to calm down the breaths that grew shallower by the second and the tears that were blurring your vision.

Cheol was just a few steps away, washing the dishes. He was trying to assess the situation before jumping in, but he couldn’t help it when you started saying “Cheol…” in the most heartbroken tone he’d ever heard.

He held out his hands and you held on to them as if they were your lifeline. “Come here, come to me. Be careful of the glass.” He guided you through and out of the mess, leading you to an open area to make sure you were both safe.

“Baby, are you okay? Are you hurt?” He immediately grabs your hands and carefully runs his hands across your body and clothes to make sure no stray glass shards will get you injured. You couldn’t answer him because you were too focused on regulating your breathing. When he was sure you were not hurt, he looked straight into your eyes and held your hands.

“Breathe with me. Can you do that?” You nod. “Ready?” He takes in a deep breath, and you follow suit but fail.

“Cheol, I’ll be late, I can’t be late—”

“I know, but you have to breathe.”

“No, you don’t understand—”

“No. Listen to me.” He looks you sternly in the eye. “You can’t leave the house like this, you’ll get hurt. We need to calm down first, okay? Breathe with me, okay?” Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Repeat.

When your breathing finally slows and goes back to normal, that’s when you finally get a good look at him. He had no makeup on, showing the bags under his eyes that were more prominent than usual. He must have been living in his clothes for how many hours at this point. Above all, it sunk in how much you so badly missed him. You didn’t even greet him properly when he arrived.

“There we go. That’s my baby. Are you okay now?” Instead of answering him, you go in for a hug, one he eagerly returns. For a moment, you forget where you were and what time it was, until reality hit you again.

“Cheol, I’ll be late. I swear, I really can’t be late.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll drive you. Get changed, then you can do your makeup in the car. Tell your colleagues that your car broke down, while you were on the way—they’d have no choice but to believe that.”

“Okay.”

“And, love?”

You look at him. He kisses your forehead, pressing down with a tender firmness with a warmth that spreads throughout you, calming you down in an instant. As long as he was here by your side, you will be okay.

“You’ll be okay. I got you.”

AAAAAA So I just had a job interview to work at an animal shelter, I’ve been trying for months to get one bc I want to help animals and also not be a grocery store cashier anymore. And they asked me what shift I’d be available for and that the director would be in touch and !!!!!!!! I think I might get it!!!! And I just proud Morpheus congratulating me on getting the job I want 😩

AHHHH I HOPE YOU GET IT TOO!!!!!!!!

You bound through the Dreaming shouting for Dream and you found him in the throne room. He perked up at your excited voice.

“I got the job!” You shouted, rushing forward and beaming with joy. “I got it!”

Dream’s eyes softened. He knew of your want for this new job, whether you told him directly or he saw your dreams about it. You stopped in front of him, practically buzzing. A smile reached your eyes and Dream always loved when you smiled like this. He stood up, and pecked your cheek.

“Congratulations,” he hummed with pride.

Your smile somehow grew. “Thanks.”

“How about we celebrate?” He asked, slowly wrapping his arm around you. “Dinner? Whatever you want we will have.”

“God, I don’t know if I could eat. I’m just so pumped and - ah! I can’t believe this happened. It’s - it’s like -“

“A dream come true.”

You laughed lightly. “Yes, like a dream come true.”

He smiled softly. “You deserve it, you deserve everything, my dear.”

You melted at his words. “Thanks, Dream.”

“Come,” he started to lead you away somewhere, “I’m sure we can find a way to celebrate such a wondrous occasion.”

Aaaaaa I love those cooking prompts! I'd like to make an addition to it. Imagine person B and C want to do something special for person A, so they work together to try to make something. But despite their best efforts it still doesn't turn out right and person A comes home to a big mess. But person A still loves what they made anyway (even if it is barely edible)

^ this is from an account called @ot3-promptz

“how did you fail a survey?”

“this is the opposite of what i told you to do.”

^ some prompts from the fluff list in my requests page.

@rdlesbiantrash i am SO sorry i took this long to write something, i was experiencing writer's block and i also changed the plot several times before settling on this prompt. i hope your moving day went smoothly even tho it's been a while!

You had one job.

Synopsis: Emma and Y/N try making Regina a birthday cake and it goes badly.

Warnings: kinda ooc Emma bc she can cook a little but in this fic she is just as hopeless as the reader, not my best work because I had ridiculously bad writer's block.

A strand of Emma's hair fell in front of her face as she mixed the batter.

"This is the opposite of what I told you to do." You sighed, making her smile. "No seriously, Emma, what if it fell in the batter?"

You both wanted to make Regina's birthday perfect, but you were definitely more stressed about it than Emma. She put the fun in baking with you today, while you brought the rigorous organisation to the table. A perfect balance.

You dusted your hands on your apron and took the hair tie out of her hair. She let you make a much tighter ponytail, pulling the loose strand in it so it wouldn't fall out.

"Regina won't mind." Emma shrugged, making you raise an eyebrow.

"Won't mind? Regina won't mind hairs in her food?" You questioned aloud, making her laugh.

"I'm just messing with you, Y/N," Emma smiled again, taking you arms behind her and bringing them forward, making you hug her.

You stood there for a while, humming contentedly while she held your hands around her stomach. You had all been busy with your work recently, but you made a point to prioritise birthdays, so this was the first time you and Emma had spent all day together in a while.

"We should probably get back to work." You admitted, after some peaceful silence.

"Right!" Emma agreed, turning around in your arms to kiss your nose, before you let go of her and both went back to your respective stations.

You were on icing, and you were very pleased with how it was going. It wasn't difficult, but you pretended it was a science to boost your own ego. You had perfected your formula and knew every detail down to the exact number of drops of food colouring needed to dye the mixture a deep purple. You kept that number in your mind now so you could write it down later. You didn't want to forget this.

You looked in the corner of your eye, the sight of your girlfriend pouring cake batter directly into the pan in your peripheral vision. Sighing with relief, you put your icing in the fridge and waiting for the cake to bake. You were going to make it in time.

"Presents?" Emma asked,

"on the couch in the living room." You responded, then quizzed her yourself. "Decorations?"

She wrapped an arm around your waist.

"I've got the balloons and streamers all around the hall and on the stairs, and I've drawn the curtains so she doesn't see anything until she comes in herself." She affirmed.

You exchanged a look, observing one another's serious faces. It made you laugh, and Emma pulled you closer to her.

"Can't believe we did it." She grinned, taking a hold of your chin.

"Yeah, we deserve a girlfriend award." You agreed, letting her pull you into a kiss.

It was soft and slow, a stark contrast to the hectic morning the two of you had trying to get everything together. It was like time had paused, and you recovered on one another's lips.

A soft click at the front door pulled Emma out her trance. She grabbed your arm and grinned.

"Come on!"

The two of you rushed to the front of the house to meet Regina, who was currently taking off her coat. The decorations were making her smile already, you couldn't wait to show her what else was coming.

"Happy birthday!" The two of you exclaimed in unison, pulling Regina in a massive hug.

You kissed her left cheek and Emma kissed her right. You snuck a kiss on her lips and Emma shoved your shoulder playfully.

Emma took her hand and led her to the living room, where she saw a bunch of store bought streamers and balloons, along with a handmade banner saying "happy birthday!!", that Henry had helped make before he went off to school. Emma gave you a wink and you slipped into the kitchen, walking over to the oven.

You switched it off and grabbed your oven mitts, swinging the door open, only to be greeted with a very strong burning stench.

"Oh no..." you whispered to yourself.

"Emma!" You called, running out into the living room, immediately faking calmness when Regina's eyes met yours. "A little help, please?"

Emma glanced from Regina to you. Regina wasn't stupid. She could tell something was wrong, but it amused her, so she smiled and let Emma follow you into the kitchen.

"You had one job, Emma." You hissed, showing her the burnt cake you had now put on the stove top. "Did you even read the instructions?"

"Yeah, I did everything right! I just put it on double the heat because Regina was coming earlier than we planned. I thought it would be done in half the time." She explained, her voice low as she glanced back at the door.

Your jaw dropped. Even you knew that wasn't how it worked. The feeling of instant regret flushed across your face, and you felt it heating up.

"Is everything okay in there?" Regina asked, and you heard footsteps making their way to the kitchen.

"Fix this!" You whispered desperately, pecking Emma's cheek then hurriedly slipping out the door.

You came face to face with Regina and forced a very dramatic smile. She took in the sight of you, then sniffed the air. Her nose crinkled slightly and she reached for the door knob.

You gasped, planting your body against the door and blocking her path. With your mouth hanging open, you faked a yawn and stretched your arms dramatically.

"Be honest with me, Y/N." Regina said firmly, putting a hand on the door, effectively pinning you in place, "do you need any help?"

"Me?" You laughed nervously, pausing before practically shouting. "Yes, yes I do, actually!"

You took Regina's arm and placed it around your waist, maneuvering so you were leading her out of the place.

"It's about this survey. I think I did it wron-"

"How do you fail a survey?" She demanded, taking both of your wrists and holding you in place.

The two of you paused as you heard it. Emma coughed a little from the other side of the door. You don't know what she was reaching for, but her behind ended up hitting the door and it flew open. Regina let go of one of your wrists and with the swish of her fingers, there was a purple glow holding the door open. Emma froze in her tracks, not daring to look behind her. Regina raised an eyebrow, then the smell of the burning cake hit her senses and she hummed understandingly.

"Come here, Emma, it's okay." She said lowly, watching her approach the two of you.

She pulled the two of you into another hug and chuckled before speaking again.

"I appreciate the effort." She insisted.

You and Emma shared a melancholy look. You both glanced at the kitchen door in mourning. Perhaps you were being dramatic, but you two had been excited about finishing the cake in the nick of time.

"I even made purple icing, you know because your powers are purple," you trailed.

"And I got you this really pretty candle. It was shaped like a flower." Emma added.

You felt a kiss press against your cheek and glanced over to see Emma receive the same treatment, a red lipstick mark on her flesh.

"Thank you, loves, I'm so lucky to have two such caring girlfriends planning my birthday." Regina reassured the two of you, taking you both to sit down on the couch.

There was silence for a moment before Emma spoke up.

"We're lucky you're in charge of cake duties for our birthdays." She commented, making Regina and you smile.

"Save that icing, Y/N, because I am teaching both of you how to bake. There is no reason two grown adults should not know how to bake a basic sponge cake." Regina said.

You put your head on her shoulder and burrowed into her arm, and Emma wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"Okay, it's on." She said cockily, secretly excited to eat an edible cake today.

I KNEW THERE WAS ONE PERSON I HAVEN'T PERSONALLY ATTACKED YET!!!

So picture this. You're an art history professor and you're having lecture in a museum and as you explain to your students about the mathematical perfection and contrapposto poses of the Greek Sculptures, you're suddenly interrupted by someone walking by and you're momentarily struck by his beauty because yes, this man is beautiful. And he puts those sculptures to shame with his soft eyes and scruffy facial hair and striking nose and-

"I'm so sorry I couldn't help but hear that you said that the mathematical proportions of the statues were 1 to 8!? I believe you meant 1 to 7."

And you swear his voice has enchanted you but then you register what he said and the whispers of your students and-

"Excuse me sir, I'd appreciate if you didn't teach my student incorrect information."

And he has the audacity to smile and steal your fucking heart with that dashing smirk and he steps closer and looks over to your students and just-

"I truly am sorry but...I think you should perhaps check again. And it is only fair that I get to make a request from you if I'm right."

So you befriend pull out your phone and look over your notes and...fuck. He was right. How could you make such a stupid mistake?

"Huh, I stand corrected. It is 1 to 7 not 1 to 8."

"Well actually that's not true either. You see, with

Polykleitos' canon, the ration is 1 to 7. But with a sculpure like Apoxyomenos of Lysippos, you'll find that it is in fact 1 to 8. So technically, you weren't wrong, it's just that they different from one workshop to another."

You're suddenly confused the stirring emotions rising in your chest and as you look around and see your students jotting down notes, you feel heat rush to your face because what could he possibly ask from you? So as you dismiss your students for lunch and tell them to meet back on the second floor when they're done, you turn around and swallow nervously when you notice the way he's looking at you.

"So, what can I help you with Mr?"

"Actually, it's Agent Pike...but you can call me Marcus."

Your begin to panic when you see his badge and immediately take a step back.

"Youre not in trouble I promise, I'm actually here to ask if it was possible that we get your expertise on an important matter."

You begin to relax when he explains to you why they need you and ask you make your way to the cafeteria, you realize that this man doesn't just have looks but brains as well and it sets off butterflies in your eyes because god....he's dangerous.

"So was that the request then?"

"Oh no no far from it...my request is, well, umm...I was wondering if you'd like to get coffee with me sometime."

He's blushing so hard and you think that he must be the most perfect man to ever exist and-

"I would love to...and maybe we could talk about some more proportions too."

😏😈

I'm all about that BDE you know....

how fucking dare you HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

Marcus isn't even mine lmao but look...

He arrives early at the café just because he wants to make sure to feel relaxed as he waits, but he doesn't really lmao, and when he sees you walking down the street from the window with a, idk, sundress on he curses himself bc he's still wearing a suit from work.

He all but peels the jacket off and as you enter he's rolling his sleeves up and you're like OH NO.

You spend like 4 hours in that café just covering your opinions on art; your favorite movements, who stole what from whom, the discussion gets pretty heated up when you start talking about hyperrealism for some reason...

“So, I was wondering...” he starts, checking his watch and realizing the place is almost about to close “would you let me buy you dinner?”

You smile at him and he feels already broken inside because GODDAMMIT yourse so pretty and so smart and so witty and so funny and GORGEOUS AAAAAA

“Of course, Marcus, we still have to cover magical realism...”

SO you go off to dinner at a little Italian restaurant he knows and again, wow you really don't stop talking at fucking all... he doesn't remember ever going out with someone whose conversation he always reciprocated...

And dinner is filled with those little glances you start giving each other as hints for wanting something else to happen later. As you wait for dessert you leave your hand on the table and he slides his over yours. You feel a slight bolt of energy running from your fingers to your back and Marcus smiles because he sees you shiver.

“Wanna keep the night going?” you ask him on a whisper.

The waiter comes with your blueberry and chocolate cake slice before he gets to answer.

Digidestined week Day 1 & 2! (extremely rushed/mostly text/simplified bc work has me all over the place aaaaaa I might go back and re-do these days at another time 😭💔)

Day 1- Introduce yourself!

Lizmet + Xros Loader green + Crest of Sincerity + preferred outfit is any ol cape, hoodie, poncho, etc! + my unofficial official rival is the homie @imdoingsomethingwronghere

Day 2- Digimon Day

My two partner Digimon are Wizardmon & Ghostmon, nicknamed Canela & Pimienta (Pimi)

Mokumon -> Demimeramon!Blue -> Candlemon -> Wizardmon -> Ponchomon

Mokumon -> Demimeramon -> Ghostmon -> [Unknown!]

Canela, as Candlemon is extremely timid and afraid of meeting new people, but through time he has grown more confident and bold, and when digivolved to his Champion stage he becomes super prideful, boastful, and is the shining star of any room.

Pimi is nothing short of a little brat, very little bothers her ever if at all. There's no filter that comes with her, doing and saying as she pleases and is able to get away with things due to her being a ghost that can simply phase through whatever. Which is pretty much how she lives life is just going with the flow doing her fancy.

hello zak !!

i wanted to give back to you a little as a way of thanking you for all the writing you've shared with us, so i drew a marluke that i'll send in another ask because i have to come off anon😭😭

forewarning, i say thank you a lot in this message HAHA im no good with words but i want to convey how much i appreciate you !! you've been warned !!

to start, i want to thank you for all the laughs and the tears i got from your fics. i found your ao3 and tumblr during a rough time for me and fell in love with your writing !! they've all brought me a lot of comfort, so thank you for writing so many things, whether it be drabbles or full blown fics, and for sharing them with us !! you didnt have to, so i really appreciate that you do because your fics always make my day better !!

this is probably a weird to to thank, but thank you for being so active here HAHA

it's really nice to read your replies to our asks, and sometimes i learn new things !! (like how useful it is to have a knife on you and to learn how to cut my own hair,, ive taken the second one to heart and have been cutting my hair by myself since) some of your posts are really informative so thank you for posting them !!

lastly, i also want to thank you for your trans luke fic. while i still do not know what i identify as (most likely non-binary, but im in no rush to find out HAHA), that fic of yours hit me deep. it made me feel seen. i love it a lot. i dont think i can really put into words how much i appreciate that fic HAHA but i found it during a period where i was feeling real shit about myself, and reading it made me feel like there was hope that one day, people will see me for who i am too. i cried while reading it because the way luke felt was how i felt about myself sometimes and for someone to put into words how it feels to be trans,, i dont think i can express my gratitude enough. thank you so much for writing that fic.

i hope you have a merry christmas and have a ton of fun today !! and once more, thank you !! :D

-crow anon

hello, crow!!!! merry christmas and HHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS ASK IS SO SWEET IM 🥺🥺🥺

first off, YES I GOT THE OTHER ASK AND THANK U FOR THE MARLUKE AAAAAA. KEES. THEY KEES. AND THEY LOOK SO SOFT //PINCHES THEM BOTH. this is wonderful im on the verge of tears yo :(((

second off, you say youre not good with words yet your words pushed me off the verge of tears and straight into Just Tears.

im so, so happy that my works have been able to make you happy or emotional. im honored as well that what i make was able to help out during a not so great time. i really really relate to this, so many fanworks by other people have gotten me through some terrible times, and i cannot emphasize how much it means to me that my works can do something like that for others too huhu

im glad also u enjoy how im active here bc i often get worried that u all think im annoying and that i should deactivate KBJDKFJDSKG. YEAAA, CUTTING UR OWN HAIR ROCKS!!! super duper itll save on money in the long run also it's fun hehe. the power is in ur hands :D

lastly, hrgh. oh man. thank YOU for thanking me (roundabout, im aware kJBKJFD) for my trans!luke fic. i wrote that wholly for my own projection and benefit but it was my tiny hope that maybe some people out there who read it can feel seen or comforted by that story. hearing that that story did this for you makes my heart soar. and so from the bottom of my heart, i hope very soon you come across people who see you and love you for who you are. those people are out there and the feeling of being with them is absolutely the feeling of having found a home.

sorry i got cheesy at some points here, but this ask made me very emotional HAHA. i myself have been going through a teensy little rough patch irt mental eelness and writing insecurity, so reading this just....means so much to me.

thank you so much for all of this, crow!!! wishing you a merry christmas and a wonderful year ahead of you <3

[cruddyborderlandstheories]

Okay I finally got Zane's new mod from the dlc and I gotta say while it works with the clone so you don't have to do much work yourself, that skill is suuuper underwhelming at max/high level (which is probably when you're going to be getting it anyway, so... Hmmm).

I feel like it is pretty pointless for Zane as it does not synergize at all with any of the skills he has unless they're planning on a 5th tree where he will get bonuses for not reloading (anarchy adjacent?) or for firing long enough (like Moze). Which, while I really would want one, I doubt bc it feels like they're wrapping up their major dlc for the game. So it's very much a "yeah I can theoretically shoot for forever. Cool" until the novelty wears off, but there's no real benefit for his skills with this unlike Moze and I swapped back to another mod once I confirmed it worked with the clone. You can probably stack the consecutive hits anoint to a higher number than usual but that's about all I've got. And still with consecutive hits you really wanna be using it on a big boss so it's easy to stack, so the whole "kill an enemy" bit is... Kinda restrictive. Maybe with a reflux/brainstormer/banjo/redistributor it'd be good if you have your clone or drone getting the crit kills for you. I dunno, I couldn't use it long enough to test that out, so maybe I'm completely wrong with my assumption. With a 6 shot mag on the reflux and the lack of real damage on the redistributor tho I'm wary. I'll probably test it tomorrow as that's my alone time day.

From my usage of it today tho, 3/10 at least it has some sort of use (cough cold warrior the biggest disappointment cough) and the skills it buffs aren't complete garbo for late game use. It's just that, to me, the unique effect feels rushed, like they couldn't think of a new COM skill for him that worked with his skill set so they just slapped 'you regen all ur mag ammo' onto it and called it. Same with Fl4k's with the grenade on pet crit as I've never seen a Fl4k specific build that would be amazing with grenade regen and I don't think I will anytime soon... Maybe I'm wrong and there's a grenade that's game changing but I kinda doubt it as Fl4k has no grenade skills to make it shine so it'd just be good on everybody and super on Moze. Both unique skills for Zane and Fl4k feel like they fit Moze (bottomless mags, demolition woman) more than them. At least Amara and Moze's play into their skills a bit. BUT. Legendary class mods were always kinda disappointing with their actual potential (looking at the super creative Amara mods that only flopped bc the execution was meh), esp. for Zane, so I am not that surprised in the end lol

My issue with the legendary mods in the game (speaking as a Zane main I bet they are similar for the other VHs are that a lot of them, notably the dlc ones, would probably be really fun and cool to use at lower levels (I am thinking specifically nvhm, below level 40, definitely pre-mayhem), but when/where are you getting these mods for that time period. Like idk maybe I'm weird but I try to do nvhm then tvhm immediately after. I definitely wouldn't do a whole dlc after nvhm when exp is lowered so I don't pass 30 until I pop into tvhm. So by the time I beat tvhm and can do the podcast final quest I'm about level 50-55 and the new mods I can use until I pop into mayhem levels to level up to 65 quicker and the special skills immediately outclassed by the spy or seein dead (which is absurdly easy to get compared to these other mods- god damn it someone dethrone this fool of a mod) (and don't go ohh spy mod spy mod is Seein Dead with those funky mustache glasses on I'm not fooled). So yeah. The other legendary mods for Zane except maybe the executor? (Depending on If ur OK with losing half ur damage compared to spy/seeing dead.) are sad at max level. Which is when you should really get them anyway so we are back at the beginning here. Aaaaaa-

[cantankerouscatfish]

sometimes work involves:

- rush of people buying hanging baskets because it’s mother’s day aaAAAA

- every one of them had to be sold with the warning that it’s probably gonna frost Monday so maybe bring them in the house then ok thanks

- only one person (that I am aware of!) got snarly about being told repeatedly to keep her dang mask on. a record low, especially considering how busy it was for the first part of the day. :O

- Jr called the register phone to use it as an intercom. from his HOUSE. dude’s magic. he, L, and I chatted a while. nice calm few minutes before the rain started.

- yeah it rained but it was a nice rain. slowed the end of the day down. we got some cleaning and restocking done.

- L accused me of stealing bc I drove my mum’s car. just bc it’s not mine doesn’t mean I stole it, child!!!

- ...I did jokingly claim to have stolen my uniform shirt earlier though so I kinda walked into that huh

[staysuki]

aaaaaa i finally read EHALOJ aaaaaa puchaaaaaaa

seungmin had those pogi typings going on lmao i love it v much huhu he was really an ass at the start but i still could bring myself to hate him 👁💧👄💧👁 idk if its automatic bc hes my bias or wut xd

moving on i honestly dont know who to ship y/n with :”> im debating on hyunjin and lee know. and yeji my queen uGh 🤨☹️😠😐 but whatever, INTEOTW yeji has my full heart. hyunjin is oblivious af but i still cant say much since i wouldnt really also believe if someone dearly close to me is a bitch irl even if the signs are 13628 inch by 28251 inch big, colored red with christmas lights.

aaaaa lee know and y/n has those history going on tHat makes me kilig ehe ehe but the typical and cliche ‘main character changed bad boy’ is 🥵 BTCH IDK WHO TO 🚢 ANYMORE 😠 sorry felix but ur bromance with jisung is more than fine already.

anyways the focus is BARELY on seungmin but i keep thinking about him ugh ✨ biaz tingz ✨ thankfully your seungmin smau already started xd

omg you re so good at antagonising people wtf 🤩 like literally all your works have the most detestable characters bc of how hurtful and toxic their dialogue sounds 😎 ur so very super duper amazing x9999 at writing, believe me 😭 you always incorporate the right amount of crack and dark thrilling shit in your stories uWu

BTW I THINK the dates. chapter link is broken on the masterlist and the next button on ch 19. i accidentally skipped ch 20 but thankfully i noticed it bc i got confused since lee know stated on ch 21 that y/n didnt answer him when he asked her on a date wHEN i didnt read anything abt him making a move. i got to the dates. chapter, ch 20, by clicking previous on chapter 21 though. hOPEFULLY U GOT WHAT I EXPLAINED 😭

im soooo excited for the next chapters huhu you did so well like di ako mapakali aYAN GANDANG GANDA AKO NAPA TAGALOG 💀 rly good job 👏

so i checked the playlist you shared and all the songs there are exactly my vibes 😭 they are the singers i listen to and i agree 100% that it hits home. OMG ZACKS VOICE IN BINIBINI SOUNDS SOOO SIMILAR TO HYUNJIN SHXHWHXHWHDHWHS IDK WHY BUT I THOUGHT ABT IT AND I CANT GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD HUHUHU 😭😭😭😭

huhuhu neways its 11 pm here, i might read a few more fics before heading to bed. hows ur day btw?

- bs

uy omg ok 👁

POGI TYPINGS PLS 💀. true, we can never hate seungmin 😤.

and yes hehe, the ships are ALL OVER THE PLACE one’s going to antartica while one’s going to florida or smth idk. but my goal is to just pull on everyone’s strings with that one since i don’t really plan to focus on the romance that much, it’s really more of a slice of life story with shitty people in the mix or smth. but there wILL be an endgoal boy. the key is that even i don’t know who it is 🥴❓ makes it more unpredictable, no? but it probably won’t be until long. i plan on focusing on every character and give them beautiful developments so that’s how many arcs(?) 😀, probs overambitious here but i’m excited to try and make a longer smau after rushing my previous ones + i have a lot of notes for EHALOJ from when i started planning it a long time ago so i already have a basis for season 2 once i start it in the VERY DISTANT FUTURE.

i made INTEOTW yeji the way she is to make up for the fact that she’s one of the antagonists in this story :,). that’s kind of like my own pattern, i want balance. also hyunjin being gaslit by his own sister 😔💔💔💔.

minho ship looking promising for you huh 🥴. felix kinda came out of left field but isn’t he such a cutie. literally everyone’s rooting for yongbokie but i don’t blame em, he’s not like INTEOTW felix huhu.

SECRETARY KIM is a busy man 😤 let him do his job. kim seungmin smau is indeed out and it’s a new character trope!! no more tsundere, confident, and/or snarky seungmin 😌 i’m moving out of the stereotypes here.

and also thank you!!! that means a lot. ngl, i feel like i overdo it(??) like, i want villains to be “real people” and not outright “people made to be villains” ifykwim, i don’t want them to be hated because “hey i’m obviously a shitty person!!!” but because they’re complex and not some 2d bond villain. but idk, maybe i didn’t really have a choice with EHALOJ yeji because SHE IS just like that 🤔. hyunjin is in mental turmoil even. probably my favorite “antagonist” moment would have to be dark seungmin in the earliest chapters. but thank you for the compliments, i love writing dialogue, even my editor irl (for my non-tumblr works) always compliments my dialogue dynamic writing so that’s why i stuck to smaus, it’s just dialogue all the time 🤪. i was a bit afraid the EHALOJ might be a bit too dark to garner any attention (bc nobody wants to see their faves antagonized, valid) but i’m glad i took the risk, it was hard to get through but it’s honestly one of my hate-favorite works and i’m glad others seem to enjoy the twists and turns too despite the obvious lack of focus in the romance.

AND YES I FIXED THE LINKS. SOMEBODY ELSE POINTED IT OUT. HOW EMBARRASSING. MY QUALITY CONTROL IS GETTING BAD 😭💔

and tHANK YOU huhu, i swear it’s finished na, just all queued up hehe, not gonna dump it no no no 👆👇👆, i will follow a fixed schedule of uploading every three days. i think there’s five chapters left in the good ol basement. one of my irks too is that i don’t want smau chapters to be released in succession bc i don’t want people to just see smaus when they scroll through my feed so like, if i already have a lot of buffer posts in between like asks or self updates then i might update early. if not, then imma post other randoms in between.

HWANG HYUNJIN AS FRAT BOY NA TAGA BGC SUPERIORITY. medyo napa 🤨🤨🤨 ako sa exbattallion, that group is such a meme (i remember when socmed was tRASHING pauwi nako for being cringe) but i just respect the vibes and listened to everything 😤. AND SEEEEEEEE. THEIR VOICES ARE SIMILAR OMFG I CANNOT.

my day went great! celebrated my mom’s birthday. out to get tattoos once again. hope you have a good sleep, i’ll always be making fics for you to read 😌♥️ how’s ur day.
