Birthday Wishes (Touchstarved Vere x gn!reader) stripper! au

Vere x gn!reader

Warnings: Suggestive content, grinding, teasing, Vere being Vere, oc’s are included in this but it’s because I couldn’t think of names and needed a plot, drinking, Leander and Kuras brief mention, Vere’s stripper name is Vixen

Summary: After your friends decide to take you to a strip club for one of your birthday traditions, you end up getting more out of it than you thought. 

Author's note: This is my first time posting anything I’ve written on tumblr so please bear with me. I thought of this while talking to a friend on Discord and decided to give in to the voices 

Word count: 2.3k

“Soooo…am I allowed to know what my surprise is or am I supposed to guess?” you say while reaching your hands out again to feel around for your two friends who were sitting on each side of you. 

“I mean sure but if I tell you then you’ll probably yell at me to turn around.” Your friend, Orelena, said. She's the one who's driving you all to whatever location they decided to drag you to for your birthday night. After all, this kind of stuff from them wasn’t that surprising, It’s always been some kind of weird tradition between all of you to do the strangest things for each other's birthdays. Last year you managed to get our other friend, Marta, some kind of gigantic tentacle dildo that you're pretty sure couldn’t even go halfway in, but again, that’s just how your friendship was. 

Holding onto the hands of your two friends, you do your best to make the best of your surroundings from what you can hear, after all Orelena was insistent on making you wear a blindfold from the moment you left the house all the way until you reach wherever you're going, and while it is exciting, your starting to feel a bit suffocated. 

Hearing the sudden giggles of your friends and the feeling of the car stopping, you hear Orelena getting out of the car before she opens the door on the right.

“We’re hereeee!” She says a little too enthusiastically. Stephanie, who was holding onto you on your right, climbs out first before grabbing onto your arm and gently pulling you out. As she does, Orelena reaches over to pull on the blindfold, making it fall to the ground and allowing you to adjust your eyes to the environment. 

There were honestly so many things you were expecting to see, but somehow none of them were a stripclub.

“Is this….a strip…club?” You say in utter shock while scanning your eyes all over the huge building that was covered in neon lights, while a huge pink sign labeled “The Siren’s Den”. 

“You damn right it is!” Orelena shouts as your friends keep giggling around you. “I decided to spice up our little tradition since you guys had included someone in my birthday surprise last year, and I figured this would also give us a chance to have some fuuuun of our own.” She says while gesturing to the rest of the group.

The someone she was talking about was her technical friend with benefits, Leander, who agreed to be tied up on her bed and covered in candy and whipped cream while we straight up drowned her room in red ribbons and rose petals. Although it was awkward having to look behind yourself and see him wearing a speedo, it was worth it since that meant seeing the shock on her face when she got home. 

Realizing you were still standing there daydreaming, you quickly shook off your thoughts and then looked back at Orelena, who was staring at you with a look of both smugness and accomplishment.

“So um…let’s head inside?” You say with every amount of confidence you had. There was one part of the tradition you had forgotten, if you decide to bail out on whatever “surprise” you got, then whoever gave you the surprise will be allowed to come up with whatever punishment they see fit, it’s annoying, but at the same time, it allows for you all to explore more on what you do and don’t enjoy.

Laughing at your question, Orelena wraps her arm around you and you all begin walking to the structure. 

As we got closer, the loud booming of “Closer” by nine inch nails rings through my ears. I hesitate for a moment but after remembering my circumstances, I shake off whatever second thoughts I might have and brace myself for whatever is about to happen. 

Upon entering, I am created with the sight of people crowding a huge stage while a man wearing a very revealing fireman outfit. He suddenly slid down the stage before ending up in front of a woman who looked extremely happy to see him. He then leans down next to the woman before using only one arm to pick her up as she’s sitting in the chair and taking her up to the stage, the other women and men sitting next to her all cheering and throwing some money. 

Your attention is then pulled away by Orelena dragging you along to a hallway where she stops assumingly a waiter.

“Hey is Vixen in tonight?” She asks while looking around the area for said person you do not know. As the conversation drags on you zone it out and begin letting your eyes wander, as you look around you set your eyes on who appears to be Stephanie speaking to another dancer, he’s extremely tall with dark brown skin and golden eyes, but still very handsome. As you watch the two interact, you let a small smile graze your lips as you see Stephanie shyly fiddle with her jacket as the man lightly chuckles before continuing to talk. 

Your attention is then brought back to Orelena as she thanks the waiter before turning back to you with a smirk, oh no. 

“Guess who got you a private dance with one of the most popular dancers.” She says excitedly. “I should say first he’s not cheap, there’s a reason everyone is at his feet whenever he performs/ But I also heard he’s verrryyyy picky when it comes to who he gives private dances to, so consider yourself lucky.”

“So you basically want to humiliate me in front of someone? Got it.” I say with a hint of sass while staring at the tall woman. 

She dramatically gasped and held her hand up to her heart “I would never!” She says dramatically before crossing her arms. You both pause before laughing at your antics. But then both of you are cut off.

“I heard I’ve been summoned?” You immediately whip your head around to see a fairly tall but lean man wearing a black, leather crop top with spikes and a v neck, leather short shorts, and black platform heels with a clear section on the bottom that’s currently filled with money. But the biggest thing that catches your eye is the black collar he’s wearing with a gold tag that has “Vixen” on it, and also the very obvious red fox ears and fluffy tail to match. 

In the midst of your staring, you're brought back down to earth by the sound of him snickering at your surprised expression. You turn back around to Orelena taking out her wallet and handing you some money with a smug smile on her face.

“Have fuuunnnnn.” She says mischievously before turning to walk away, leaving you with the strange man. 

“Soooo, I hear it’s someone's birthday” A low, seductive tone rings behind you. You turn around and catch his gaze, doing your best to appear calm and collected in front of him, suddenly becoming very shy. 

“It is….” You say while messing with the zipper on your leather jacket.

“Well lucky for you I was willing to be nice and offer a more…private setting rather than just doing my usual stage and giving you special attention. So, shall we?” He reaches up to gently grab onto your shoulders to push you towards a vip room. Before you even get the chance to answer, you're being walked there and have to stand in front of the door while he opens it to push you inside. As he’s turning around to close and lock it, you're given enough time to admire the small, yet luxurious room. The lighting is a dark purple while in the middle of the room stood a small stage with a pole on it, and soft, leather chairs centered around it with some couches in the corners of the room, there was also two large mirrors on either side of the room, giving you a clear view of Vixen as he’s locking the door, and there was also a small mini bar in the far right corner.

While you're still having a look, you feel Vixen grab your shoulders again and gesture you to sit down in the chair that is directly in front of the stage. You quickly readjust yourself to shake off the initial shock and sit back in the chair. Vixen then walks over to a small tablet and starts scrolling through different songs. 

“Can I offer you a drink?” He suddenly says while still staring at the screen. 

“Anything strong is fine, I’ll have a feeling I’ll need it.” You say while staring at the stage in front of you. Vixen laughs again and takes a moment to pause before walking over to the mini bar and grabbing what looks like a bottle of whiskey. He pours that into a small glass before setting the bottle back down and walking over to you. He stands in front of you with a knowing smirk on his, reveling in your reactions to him. 

He then uses his free hand to slowly lift your chin, before tilting the glass over and pressing it against your mouth, tempting you to drink it. Opening your mouth slightly you allow him to lean the glass over more, letting the alcoholic drink slide into your mouth and burn your throat. Staring up at him with a soft gaze, he stares right back at you with a smirk. Cooing softly before taking the glass and setting it on the small table next to the chair, he walks back over to the tablet and hits play, the sound of “Drunk In Love” by Beyonce playing on the speakers hidden in the room. Guess this is it…

Vixen slowly walks up to the stage and takes position, grabbing onto the pole and lifting himself up to wrap his legs around it, spinning as he slowly descends while running his hand through his hair. Even if this is supposed to be some kind of silly thing between a group of competitive friends, you couldn’t help but be entranced by him. The way he moved on the pole, giving you small glimpses of the dark, blood red thong he was wearing underneath the shorts that barely hid his ass and v line. 

Once it reached the halfway point of the song, Vixen suddenly slid down all the way to the ground and began crawling towards you as his tail slowly swung behind him. Lightly gripping onto the arms of the chair, you straighten your back and pull out a small bit of cash, while doing our best to hide the rising heat on your face. Once Vixen is now in front of you he sits on the back of his legs while using his hands to slowly slide them up your thighs until they reach your hips. While staring at you with an almost seductive gaze, he then lifts himself up slightly and gently bites onto the money that was sitting in between your fingers and takes it, grinning at you before standing up completely. You take the time to drag your gaze down his body and admire the sweat that was making him almost glisten against the strong lighting, but before you can blatantly eye-fuck him any longer, he suddenly sits himself down on your lap, straddling you so you were held in between his legs. 

He then wraps his arms around your neck before taking one hand and taking the money from between his teeth and placing it on your palm.

“I think you know what to do.” He says with a grin, obviously gesturing towards his shorts.

As the song continues, Vixen slightly leans back so his front side is almost pressing against you and begins grinding onto your lap, doing soft body rolls that give you a full view of the collar adorning his neck, it’s entrancing. 

Suddenly remembering the money in your hand, take a single bill and slide it into his shorts as you keep your eyes on his alluring moves. Sliding a few more bills into his shorts, you decide to get more bold and take one of your hands and press it against his chest. But before you could feel him anymore he suddenly grabs onto your wrist and pulls it away from his body, he leans his head forward and tuts as the grip he has on your wrist suddenly becomes almost painful.

“I would assume you know the rules sweetheart, no touching the dancers, now I would hate to break your pretty wrist, so do mind.” He says warningly, but if you listened closely you could hear a bit of venom in his voice, so you're left to assume it’s best to heed his warning. 

“....I’m sorry.” You say quickly and without falter, not wanting to possibly irritate him any further. 

“Hmmm…that almost made me feel a little guilty for threatening you.” He says in a mocking tone, obviously lying about feeling bad for his words. “You wanted to touch me that badly?” He adds on, his voice going lower.

Still caught off guard, all you can do is nod, he snickers again before slightly releasing your wrist and grabbing your other one with his free hand. He then uses your hands to press them against his waist. Holding them there as he goes back to wrapping his arms around your shoulders and gently caressing your neck. 

Noticing you don’t exactly know what to do with your hands, he chuckles and leans over so his mouth is directly next to your ear.

“Just so you know…I will be expecting….extra payment for this.” He whispers in a low, raspy tone. But before you get the chance to question what he means; he already has his lips pressed against your neck.

Please don't forget me (Part 3)

(Mirage x Reader)

Art by me 💕

Warning! (Adult themes, triggering topics, blood, alcohol etc.)

A week later

Mc visits the bar with the other legends. Every month, they have a drinking party to celebrate being still alive, and it has become a tradition. Naturally, she never went to a party with Mirage since they partnered up after the last party.

She's dressed to the nines, a black, backless, mid length tight dress with long sleeves and stiletto heels, half her hair tied in a bun with a golden flower accessory. She is not familiar with this kind of clothes, so it's hard to walk or do anything. She waves at everyone and chat about each others adventures, she finds herself joking around with Fuse about Mirage's suicidal tendencies in the battlefield for some time, it's fun being around her friends but she still finds herself eyeing the door from time to to time in case Mirage makes it to the party, she knows he wouldn't miss it even if he had to come crawling. Wattson makes her way to mc, holding two cocktails. She sits and gives her one,"Thank you, Wattson." Mc immediately grabs the drink and gulps it in one sip, still eyeing the door, Wattson pats her shoulder."Is he the reason you dressed so fancy today?" She chuckles teasingly, "You already gulped down 5 cocktails." Mc turns her head to the bar to order a tequila."Yes--I mean no. I just felt like it. Anyway, these cocktails feel like a childish drink. Even if I drank 50, I wouldn't feel a thing." Wattson rests her head on her hand and gives mc a silly expression, wiggling her eyebrows."Then I guess it doesn't matter he's on the door right now." Mc's golden eyes widen, she gulp down the tequila in one go and turn around to check, he wears a navy blue silk suit, a white buttoned top and a black corset vest with velvet flowery patterns, on top of all that, his curls are taken cared of and fluffier than ever, her heart skips a beat at the view, she hastily turns her head to the bar in panic "One more tequila please! I really need a drink right now." Wattson gets up."I think he's coming this way, sis!" she chuckles again, "Wait!" Mc tries to whisper at her in full panic, side eyeing her, trying not to look any other way in embarrassment."Have fuuuun!!" Wattson says as she's ignoring mc's cries for help and leaving her to fend for her own.

She can hear Mirage's voice approaching as he greets everyone, but her eyes are fixed on her drink as she plays dumb.

He sits next to mc on the place Wattson was "Well hello there, beautiful lady!" He greets in a seductive tone. She won't dare to answer or move. She doesn't know if she should be flustered or cringe with his greeting."How is your night at the party? I gave this bar the most exqu-exquisiv-- the best drinks! You know I almost died the other day. Did you watch the show, I assume? Soooo maybe you could care for me today? Have a drink together? haha..." Not being able to contain her disappointment anymore, she her head to face him in desperation."Please shut up...." he suddenly drops the confident man act."HOLY COW! it's yo--- I mean, I knew, haha...hahaha...." He tries to fix his clothes and hair knowing full well he embarrassed himself, she rolls her eyes, turning her head to her drink once more, touching it with her fingertips to raise it and have a sip "Maybe you should go carry that act to someone else and leave me alone hm?" She is annoyed, jealous even - does he just go around saying this stuff to anyone? She tries to ignore these feelings. He laughs awkwardly. "I mean, I fixed my eyes on you first, so that means something,right?... Maybe you're the only one who can match my beauty!" He raises his eyebrows while tilting his head to her side, waiting for a reply, he gives her an expression she can't really ignore, her heart rate is rising but she is still trying to play it cool "I mean, at least my match is good looking..." he forms a satisfied smile on his face, looking more confident than ever, mc tries to smirk, however she still finds herself gulping on tequila, glass after glass, to be able to handle the situation as logically as possible, even tho she can sense her pulse in every bit of her body to the point she feels numb. He drinks with her for some time, sitting really close, none really talks, the tension is too much to take.

Fanfiction Writing Asks:

1, 11, 19, 27, 43, 51, 67 [morsel]

.1. Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike? It really depends on the fic? For all of the really long ones, lots of daydreaming! Or once I'm done with a chapter I'll daydream about it to figure out where it goes next. For Oneshots sometimes I'll start right away... but most of the time I don't get the idea in a place where I can immediately start writing. Daydreaming is so fuuuun! I was that teenager that would write fic in my head to go to sleep. 11. Do you write scenes in order, or do you jump around? In order good god in order! I never know if the scenes are going to go as I expect, so writing out of order is really difficult because I feel like the story can't 'find' itself in the same way because it has to bend in a certain direction. I just struggle to complete if I do that. Then they just become disjointed vignettes. 19. Do you enjoy creating OCs or do you prefer to stick solely to canon characters? I typically stick to canon characters unless the story calls for it- like Mawa's parents. I don't make OCs unless I have to. But I'm trying to adventure more into Original Fic so! We shall see! (Right now my novel is secretly Killugon so... whoops! but the Friend Group Kinda!Killua makes is all OCs so. maybe I'll be ok haha!) 27. What area of writing do you feel strongest in? Description and nature-based metaphors! But actually I feel very satisfied with my characterization as well. It's the acting training I think... I like to find a character's through line to make sure they make sense throughout- their needs are consistent even if their actions aren't! People aren't consistent after all, and characters are people! 43. Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet? My very favorite trope is Hanahaki, I love it soooo but I have never written it 51. Does what you like to write differ from what you like to read? Only in that I write a much smaller range of things than I read! 67. If a fic was titled "Morsel", what would this story be about/how would you write it? It would be either a oneshot or a series of vignettes and it would be about Killua and Gon sharing food on their adventures. And. You know. Maybe some kissing >:3

[hyuckmov]

[bucky-mothereffing-barnes]

Quickly, Swiftly

Been a while...sorry! Hope you enjoy. This one was a request from @smallmarvel

Pairing: Quicksilver/Reader

Warnings: Angst a lil but there’s fluff (:

I'm so obsessed with your writing! Could I request an X Men Quicksilver (Peter Maximoff) x reader where they both have super speed and like to mess around with Charles and just overall create a bit of chaos? Best friends to lovers make me WEAK. If not Quicksilver then Peter Parker is good too :) 

------

Small chuckles escaped you as you saw Peter zoom around Charles. 

“Can you catch me?” Peter taunted Charles.

“Don’t make me.” He retorted, before stopping and turning to you.

“I can hear you, just come out.”

“But Charles, that’s no fuuuun.” You whined in your mind before you came around the corner, leaning against it, eyeing Peter. His hair was always a mess from the constant running. It’s not that he likes to annoy people, he loves to annoy them. Before he came around, you were very reserved with your power. As much as you liked dashing around fields just to get your energy out, you usually kept your super speed under wraps. Until you met Peter. Something in you sparked when you saw him, like something was unlocked.

“C’mon, just a little bit. We’ll stop after a few seconds!” Peter begged, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

“...fine. But, only because you gave me your chocolate yesterday.”  With a roll of his eyes, he grabbed your hand, speeding off with you through the halls of Charles’ school. 

And that’s when you felt it. Such a close connection with someone who understood exactly what you’ve dealt with all your life. The need to feel the air in your lungs, the messy hair, the dry eyes because you forget eye protection sometimes. Peter even leant you his goggles once. His eyes were tearing up by the time you stopped running. As bad as you felt about it, you were so thankful for not having dry eyes for once. 

The memory flashed in your mind.

Although he’s your best friend, you can’t help but feel like there’s something more between you two. You might be overthinking it though. Who knows?

“I know.” Charles thought, making you snap your eyes to him. He chuckled at you, like you were a deer in headlights. 

“If you tell him, that wheelchair will no longer work.” You growled at him before looking back at Peter with a smile.

“Stop running in my halls then.” Charles whispered under his breath.

“Not a chance!” Peter had overheard his comment, dashing in front of Charles, then coming back to you.

“What’d’ya say, take a good run around here?” Peter crossed his arms, leaning against the stairwell.

Charles spun around to stare at you, a mischievous spark in his eyes.

“Yeah, why don’t you do that?”

“U-um, I’m a little tired today, I don’t know if I’m up for that today.” You lied straight to Peter’s face, making your stomach turn. Lying to your best friend? Is that okay? It’s to keep Charles from telling Peter, so it was okay...right?

You turned around, heading up the staircase normally, looking for a place to lay down to think about what you should do. If anyone were to tell him about how you feel, it should be you. But, do you have the courage? The bravery? Are you willing to possibly ruin everything you’ve built up with Peter, just because you get butterflies when you see him?

They’re not even butterflies anymore. When he grabs your hand to run around the halls, only to make Charles’ paperwork fly everywhere. When he takes his hands and tries to fix your hair, even though he manages to make it worse. When you take popcorn and toss it at each others’ mouths, full well knowing you have other important tasks to complete. When you two just sit there in comfortable silences, sometimes sneaking glances at each other. It’s not butterflies, it’s love.

Love. You’re scared of it. Scared to admit that you might be in love with your best friend. 

“I wasn’t serious about what I said.” You heard Charles speak from behind you, while you were staring out a large window.

“Weren’t you though?” It was a small whisper, with a voice crack.

Charles didn’t answer. He sat there a moment, thinking. He would usually have a clever answer, but this time, he had none. Before he opened his mouth to comfort you, or give you advice, Peter was suddenly beside him. 

“Hey, you okay?” With raised eyebrows, he pushed past Charles, who began wheeling away. 

“I’m...I don��t know.” You didn’t want to lie again and say you’re fine, because you most certainly weren’t. Even if you did say you were, Peter would coax whatever was bothering you out of your heart.

Your heart. It’s pounding wildly when he stands next to you. It’s almost breaking because he’s so close yet so far away. You want him to mend whatever is happening to it, but you know he can’t unless you tell him.

“Well, then what’s happenin’?” The table he hopped onto and got comfortable on creaked. 

You were silent for several moments. You were never quiet around him. Always bubbly and giggly. Now he was concerned. So he got up, and pulled you by the shoulder, forcing you to look at him. Your body shivered at his touch, as you almost bursted into tears. 

“We’re best friends, right Peter?”

“Of course, why wouldn’t we be? Who else would I have to annoy Charles?”

“And nothing could tear us apart?” You whimpered a little.

“Are you okay?”

“Just a yes or no, please Pete.”

“Yes, then” Peter still didn’t let go of your shoulder.

With a deep breath, you looked him in his eyes. Now or never.

“Iloveyou.” That came out faster than expected.

Peter stood there for a moment, eyes blinking for a few times before he finally registers what the hell you just said. He pulled you into a hug by the hand.

“There was no need for the dramatics, jeez. You could’ve just said that.” 

“Wait, what?” Your head laid on his shoulder, squeezing his hand.

“Why’d you make a big deal about it? I love you too.” He gave you a tight squeeze, before pulling back but still holding your hand.

“But, I love you like love love you too.” 

“Me too?” Peter gave you a confused look, like you didn’t understand him.

“...oh.”

“Oh? That’s all you have for someone who made something soooo simple like it’s a play.” Peter gave you a large eye roll, making you smack his arm.

“Shut up, please.”

“Please, huh? I didn’t know you know what that word is.” A large smirk crossed his face as he taunts you, getting into a position to run after he kisses you quickly, leaving you stunned.

“Oh, you little!” You outstretched your arm to grab him but he was too fast. He was already gone with a loud laugh, one that made your heart flutter.

Well, that was quick.

HI!! I hope all is well! How about 5, 7, & 12 for your ask game?

Hello beautiful!!

Those 3 you say? Alright, here goes!

5. What is the perfect environment for you to write in?

Either my favourite arm chair in my living room, or sitting in my car at the beach!

7. Which part of writing do you struggle with most?

Honestly? Clothes and homes. No joke, I get sooo hung up on finding the perfect pictures for outfits and rooms, that I totally kick myself into a block and can’t continue on till I find the exact image or look that I’m searching for. When I originally wrote If Only You Knew, I got blocked for 3 months writing chapter 13 because I couldn’t find the exact red dress I was wanting. I finally found it and was able to push through and finish the chapter/series, but what’s so funny is that I NEVER EVEN ENDED UP PUTTING THE DAMN IMAGE OF THE DRESS IN THE STUPID CHAPTER?! Like I’m sorry, what the ACTUAL HECK KAYTEE?! Why you waste 3 months searching, to not even use the stupid image in the end?! Nonsense, man. I don’t get my own brain, even on the best of days. This is a sore spot for me, if you couldn’t tell. 🤣����🏻‍♀️🙄

I also spent soooo long researching a home for Secrets and Sins, before I started writing the series, then I stumbled upon the one I ended up using, and the story then just flowed out of me. Which was nice.

12. Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to?

There are actually a few! I have a VERY detailed list of Tropes and AU’s that I’d like to write in the future, and I cross them off as I go. I think the main one I want to write though is Fake Relationship, or There Is Only One Bed! I adore those dang Tropes so much, and would love to create my own for them. I also want to do another Soulmate AU in the near future and already have an idea for one *rubs hands together slowly and menacingly with a giant grin on my lips* it should be fuuuun, if I can ever find the time to put the idea to words! 😈

Thank you so so much for sending me these, lovely! Sorry for the suuuuper late reply! ❤️❤️❤️

Given the chance, would you ever go into space? I’ve answered this exact question on a recent survey...but yeah absolutely, as long as it was a free opportunity. Outer space has always interested me so it would be awesome to actually get there. What is your all-time favorite thing to snack on? A local brand of chips called Nova, corndogs, powdered fries, and pizza. I couldn’t choose just one :( Have you ever been jealous of anyone's socks? Not in a toxic way but I have seen socks that made me go “damn, I wish I had that” and it’s usually socks based off of famous paintings like Starry Night, The Scream, etc. Do you match your clothing, or are you careless about fashion? The most I’ll match is colors; I’ll make sure the colors I wear complement each other. But I’m not likely to buy outfits that come in parts, like a matching top and skirt that have their own price tags. It’s an annoying scam that makes you have to pay more money for one outfit lol. Know anyone that has amazing fashion taste? There’s a professor in the communication research department of our college that dresses SOOOO well. She’s never recycled an item of clothing either. She dresses literally exactly like Audrey Hepburn, except with more printed clothes.

Do you know or wish you could knit? I don’t know how to knit and have no desire to learn.

Like earmuffs? They’re alright, I guess? I never have to wear them, so I don’t have much of an opinion. Have you ever had the roof of your mouth sore? Yeah, that one time I ate takoyaki while it was still burning hot and I burned off the skin on the roof my mouth. Do you like orange juice? I’ll drink it if it’s served or if it’s free, but I never crave for it. How many times a day do you brush your teeth, honestly? Once or twice. Do you think anyone really looks good in a jumpsuit? Yeah. Well it’s since become a trend so that’s really all there is to know about people’s preferences nowadays. I have several jumpsuits that I feel really good in. Have a collection of anything? Not anymore. Ever ran out of something that made you very upset? Sometimes my family will bring home leftovers from a really good restaurant. When we finish them all up it bums me out. Biggest lie you ever told? Saying ‘yes’ with a big ol’ smile on my face to my high school guidance counselors whenever they ask if my situation at home is good. Is there a song that makes you want to rock out? For sure. I have my fair share of favorite punk/rock bands. Do you have a religion? No. Believe that there is a point to churches? Not a single one. How do eat Oreos? I just bite into them. Never really got into the whole twist-lick-dunk thing because 1) I don’t want to bite into something I had already licked (even if it’s my own saliva lol), and 2) I can’t consume a lot of milk, anyway. -This or That- Sunsets or sunrises? Sunsets. I’ve seen more sunsets than sunrises with Gabie, so I have good memories of them. I don’t like the idea of getting up early just for a sunrise either. Pennies or dimes? Can’t relate because we don’t use these concepts. Coffee or tea? Coffeeeeeeee. Never been a tea person, actually. Windows or Mac? Mac. I did use Windows for a while, but when it comes down to it I would rather get a Mac. Headphones or speakers? Headphones. You get more of the sound when you listen to music, so the listening experience is a lot better. Loud or soft & quiet? Depends on the context...I like my concerts loud, but I obviously prefer soft and quiet when I’m doing something like going to bed. Odd or even numbers? I don’t really have a preference lol. The cookie dough or the actual cookies? Cookie dough, heh. Speaking of, I recently found a recipe for edible cookie dough but I keep putting it off... Mp3 players or iPod? iPod, mostly because MP3s went out of style like, a decade ago. Calm or rock music? Again, depends on my mood. I’d listen to rock music if I’m pissed off or going through a similar emotion, and I’d prefer hearing calm music when I wanna focus on something, like if I’m doing surveys. Love or lust? Love. I don’t feel lust for the most part. Converse or Vans? Converse. They’re AJ’s favorite and I find them more comfy. The few times I borrowed my sister’s Vans I always got blisters at the end of the day. Lipsyncing or actual singing? I would prefer to lipsync than to let people hear my actual singing voice; but if I’m watching a performance obviously I’d want the performers to be using their real voice. Walking or running? Walking. I find strolls to be relaxing. Dancing or watching others dance? Watching others. Dancers are crazy talented. With friends or by yourself? When it comes down to it, I wanna be with friends. Local concert or a popular band? Popular band. It’s rarer, so I find it more precious. I still support local though! Blond or brown hair? Brown. Idk, I just don’t know a lot of people who are blonde. Red or black? I like both, but I like black slightly more. Blue or green eyes? Green. Having fun or being asleep? Having fuuuun. Carnival or park? Park. I can’t go on rides anyway, so a nice stroll and picnic at the park sounds lovely to me. -Favorites- Favorite thing to buy? Uh food, I guess? I’m super easy to please lol. What do your favorite pair of socks look like? My bacon and eggs one. Kind of tea/coffee? Iced tea/iced caramel macchiato. Way of communication? Face-to-face with Gab, instant messenger/text for everyone else. Time to sleep in to? Midnight is most convenient for me. Band to dance to? PARAMORE. Also helps that their music has turned dance-y too. Favorite gum? Don’t really have one. I’ll chew on any kind/flavor of gum. Type of cereal? Cookie Crisps. Color of hoodie? I don’t mind color, as long as the hoodie is comfortable and keeps me warm. Spice? Cumin smells lovely. Favorite thing to touch/feel? Dogs. Website? Probably Twitter. I’ve been on it the longest and still have no reason to be tired of it. Person in your life? My girlfriend...but also my dogs, if they can count. -Would you Rather- Hire one of your friends, or fire an enemy? Hire one of my friends, as long as they work well without me. Firing an enemy seems a little bit more unprofessional, especially if they objectively perform well. Be a contestant on American Idol or America's Got Talent? I’d go with AGT I guess? I’ve watched some snippets of the show and their judges seem more nice, whereas on American Idol the judges tend to laugh or embarrass you if you do badly. Live in Britain or Australia? Australia. I feel like it’s a more Filipino-friendly country, not that Britain isn’t but yeah. Travel by plane or helicopter? Plane. Aren’t helicopters loud? I think I’d be more relaxed in an airplane. Trade places with a male or a female for a day? I’d rather remain a woman, thanks. Shop at Wal-Mart or Target? I don’t know. I’m honestly curious though – for the Americans survey-takers, what’s the difference between them and what do y’all prefer? Hahaha Read Shakespeare or Artistotle's work? I internally winced at both lol but when it comes down to it, Shakespeare. I do like his work, as long as I’m reading a modern English version. I hate philosophy straight up, so that’s a definite no on Aristotle. Have a regular donut or donut holes? Regular donut. Spell better or smell better? Smell. I can already spell well. Rather be in a tornado or a large earthquake? This is horrible, no one ever *wants* to be stuck in a natural calamity. 80's or 90's music? I like the 80s sound better. Eat a plain peanut butter sandwich or PB & J? Peanut butter sandwich. I tried PB&J before to see what the hype was about, and it just didn’t work for my Asian tastebuds. Wear a uniform every day or go half-naked? Wear a uniform. I wore one in Catholic school for 14 years and survived, so it’d just be the same thing. Would you rather Santa or the Easter Bunny actually exist? Santa. I’m more familiar with him. The Easter Bunny’s not really a part of our culture so I don’t actually know what it’s supposed to do. Apple pie or Pizza pie? Pizzaaaaa. Y’all should know me by now haha. Spend an afternoon cleaning or clean things later? I’d rather work early so I can be satisfied earlier. Flying or X-Ray vision? Flying. Dentist or Doctor? I guess dentist? There’s fewer reasons to be scared when you go to the dentist because the health problems are just limited to your mouth, I guess. Would you rather spread gossip or start a fight? Both sound awful. I’m never one to start a fight and I never initiate gossip myself, though I do take part in it sometimes. Get rid of your favorite shoes or your favorite pants? Pants. I love my shoes. Visit Florida or New York? New York. Myspace or Facebook (or do they both suck)? Facebook. It sucks, but at least the memes there are hilarious as fuck.

List 10 songs you’re currently obsessed with and tag 10 people to do the same:

*Rises up from the crypt

Yooo! I was tagged by the awesome @herz-eleid 🖤ages ago! Thank you soooo much and I’m very sorry, I literally stopped visiting tumblr for a very very very long time.

So I went to my old pal Last.fm to get these. Last 10 months have been especially weird so I think I’ve hit play almost mechanically. 

1. Jonathan Livingston by Anti-Venöm 

A mexican punk band, they are occasionally good. Lol

2. Bubble by Lagwagon

Nice new album. But the Caper is losing his voice already. Old guys, Lagwagon. 

3. She’s Kerosone by The Interrupters

This is in my Running playlist. Unsolicited fact: running with ska is fantastic. 

4. Who’s Laughing Now? by Goldfinger

Same as above. Really, if you remotely like ska, give it a try. Also I love these guys. 

5. Picking Up The Pieces by Atrocity Solution

Some crack rock steady tune. They are good at it. 

6. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

Beautiful song. Love this band. *Pretends something got in her eye.

7. True Believers by The Bouncing Souls

WE ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS! AAAAaaaaAAAHHHH

8. Lisa, Listen to Me by Blood, Sweat & Tears

There go my daddy issues and most recent failed romantic relationship. Just change it to Lily and there you go. 

9. Looking for a Song by Big Audio Dynamite

Loooving this one! By good old Mick Jones. Never die man.

10. I Would Die 4 U by Prince

All time favorites. 

Thank you again! I’m in a rather bitter mood, so I’m sorry if this came out weird, haha. Not tagging anyone because honestly I’m not sure if the people I used to know in Tumblr are still active or if anyone ever visits this blog anymore, lol

I had fuuuun! 🖤

In light of what is just the latest in horrifying events under this administration, I cannot emphasize enough that a protest of the Capitals’ White House visit is a responsibility you’re either intentionally running from or that you face up to. And that it is entirely the responsibility of those who support that team, not a few people who have never even liked the team but still have a moral conscience enough to weigh in.

“But you shouldn’t use tragic events like this to talk about trivial sports news!”

Well, last year absolutely everyone seemed to be able to feel a conscience about protesting absolutely anyone and anything that aligned itself publicly with the Trump Administration. Seemed to be no question in 2017 that rich, famous men with major public platforms should be held accountable for their political statements, however indirect. That fans who supported those men were in turn responsible for making their opinions and protests heard. Because folks, not protesting and staying silent means tacit allowance. Your team is only to happy to not be impeded or given pause from fan criticism.

Considering that the bulk of horrific work done by this White House has taken place since that visit, it seems only more urgent to protest this visit. If you fed the Washington Capitals a portion of financial or public investment then it is your duty to speak up when they do something reprehensible. Pittsburgh fans did it last year and led the charge against their own team of Cup champions. It’s Washington’s turn and no amount of “but we deserve to have fuuuun! We waited soooo long!��� means a damn thing compared to political and social atrocities.

Because you know what’s gross? Using team and player favoritism to try and dodge a major political and moral issue this year that you were vocally a part of last year.

It has a lot in common with how Evgeni ‘no problem having gay players in the locker room’ Malkin got more criticism for reposting Alexander ‘no comment on Sochi gay ban meetings he was a part of’ Ovechkin’s sports campaign to get Putin re-elected, than Ovechkin himself ever did just because he has a bizarre hold on hockey fans and media’s psyches and because he cynically buried the headline with a charity attention grab.

So nobody try and pretend that political and social morals are not warped and skewed by Washington Capitals fans or that your fan base is in any way above or exempt from legitimate criticism.

Put your fanon and fandom on hold just like everyone did last year. Do your duty. Stop attempting to straddle a line between objecting to bigotry and a villainous government and giving your team a pass for aligning their Cup win with said government. Do what you did last year. There’s nothing to be argued in favor of that two-faced approach and no one’s listening to these pithy excuses anymore.

So I was casually scrolling (stalking) through your fanfic profile and I saw that you ship Tomionaxas! Do you have any ficrecs for this ridiculously underrepresented ship or any headcannons?

@colubrina wrote my favorite Tomioneaxas (( Housemates ) Hermione and Abraxas just kinda share Tom, which is just as perfect as all three together), and there’s so little of this ship tthat I’ve honestly not read anything that wasn’t hers. 

(I hope to eventually add to that depressingly sad pile of fics at some point though, Nonny)

Headcanons? Gosh, I haven’t thought about this group in-depth enough to come up with many, but:

- If Tom’s an arrogant prat to Hermione, then Abraxas is the quieter, polite one going “Ignore him, love, he’s full of shite.”

- If Abraxas is the jerk, cold glares from Tom are plentiful, because don’t you dare ruin this, Malfoy.

- Hermione has Crookshanks, Abraxas either has a white cat or an albino ferret. The pets get along so well that their owners are midly concerned about a furry takeover.

- Abraxas’ vanity extends to Hermione in the forms of “I’m helping you with your hair,” “I got bored while I was out today and now you have a brand new wardrobe. Do not ask me how much I spent,” and “You’re going to the spa because it’s good for you, not because I’ll love you less if your nails aren’t done. Today is everything but the massage package. Tom and I decided to keep that one in house.”

- Lowkey Tombraxas

- Becaue Tom is prat

- Gentle nudging from Hermione makes them less lowkey about it until Tom deduces that she has a thing for watching them doing literally anything when they think she’s not there. Tom proceeds to play “How Hot & Bothered Can I Make Hermione Without Abraxas Noticing?”

Idk man these idiot kids are soooo fuuuun and ridiculous and grumpy I just love them to bits.

Thank you for the ask, Nonny :)

[minimoose99]

Lol, meeeeee. I have Crohn's disease and think these so often. Especially since I had a surgery (non-crohns related) where they removed one of my adrenal glands and the baseball sized cyst attached to it. I had four incisions plus all of what they did inside and was fine just taking Tylenol every six hours. Thing is I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL! The only reason I think it's not is the reaction of 1 of the nurses when we were talking afterwards.

Also, I've gotten used to having flairs from gluten reactions too and therefore will just suffer for a few days (horrible stomach aches, throwing up, sometimes can't take Tylenol to help because it will trigger me to throw up more, essentially I live on the couch for a few days). Funny thing is, when I had my last flair like that my boyfriend had only seen my like that once before and it wasn't as bad so he was just like "go to the hospital. I will take you to the hospital. We should go to the hospital." And I was just like "babe, chill. I've been through worse, I can last this out for another day or two at least." (I did end up going to the hospital but it was a useless trip).

So yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh, chronic diseases are soooo fuuuun

Does it really hurt, or is it all in my head?

A novel by me.

Featuring such great chapters as:

- Is my pain tolerance really high or does this just not hurt? - How much would this be hurting a normal person? - Do I need to suck it up and carry on? - At what point does this need medical attention?

and my personal favourite,

- Am I making a big deal out of nothing: will the doctors believe me?

[pet-diary]

This is actually everything that the camera came with because I bought it as a bundle pack (it was even cheaper than buying just the camera body at the time! :S). Soooo much good stuff. I really like the lens it came with, and the camera bag is better than the one I had. Some of the stuff is kinda not super useful, or I already had it, but there was a lot of good stuff I had never even tried before! I feel like I’ve entered into a whole new realm of understanding how photography works and it’s fuuuun. :)

Star Trek TOS Liveblogs: S3EP8 - For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky

Boy is that title a mouthful…

Okay clearly the sickbay scene was supposed to be before the scene on the bridge and they putright reuse the footage after the opening credits… so WHY did they play it out of order in the cold opening? As a draw in? IDK, that kind of thing with continuity always bothers me.

This whole episode essentially hinges on DeForest Kelley’s performance the whole episode to make this episode work. He nails it roght off the back. The clear controlled frustration at Christine getting Kirk, his anxiety at having to tell his captain/best friend that he’s a dead man, trying to delay the reveal for however briefly… God he’s just so freakin’ good.

Kirk just sounds like he hates having to note all of this even in his log.

Yeah when Kirk outright tells McCoy that he doesn’t have to go on an away mission and is reluctant to drag him into it, you KNOW that this is serious. Same goes for McCoy actually wanting to go on it without so much as one gripe about it.

Kirk’s so worried about McCoy, and I just… 😭😭😭

You know Kirk he was only passed out like… a minute longer than you and Spock were. Was it just THAT hard to resist Spock’s prying?

This scene though. You can just tell that Kirk is so sad about McCoy dying and that he can’t do a damn thing about it. In production order this was after both The Empath and The Tholian Web, so having McCoy already almost die once and then Kirk himself almost dying… someone in the writer’s room REALLY wanted to put them and Spock through the emotional wringer, huh?

And Spock just… taking the news in and supporting McCoy/holding onto his arm for far longer than necessary… GOD MY FEELINGS!!!

McCoy with Natira is just McCoy trying to channel his inner Kirk essentially XD

I repeat: this whole episode hinges on DeForest Kelley. Forced romances aren’t at all uncommon in TOS, but the one with Natira falls under this HARD. The only thing that saves it is The acting by De and Katherine Woodville, the actress who played Natira. They were working with what they had, and whiel it doesn’t change it from being rushed, for the most part I can see chemistry with them. I guess tbf they pretty much point it out in-episode how sudden it is so…

Back on De specifically… he has so much going on here. He has to channel McCoy’s sadness, loneliness, anxieties, and just … everything regarding dying and be infatuated all at the same time. And since the show never really went into McCoy’s background (we only know about Jocelyn and Joanna from supplementary materia and his dad’s death likely wasn’t thought up yet) De has to channel all of that too and make us feel for him. Under a lesser actor this worhld have easily fallen flat, but De performs it so genuinely that it’s hard to NOT feel bad for McCoy or understand the pain he’s feeling despite knowing so little regarding him. Just… I love DeForest Kelley, okay?!

I don’t really have an opinion of Natira. She seems like a perfectly nice lady and she is very pretty. I can see why McCoy would like her. But otherwise… eh? Her actress does try to put character into her though, I can appreciate that.

Haha, Kirk and Spock’s faces when Natira says she wants McCoy as her mate. I mean tbf Kirk considering all the hijinks you ended up in with women, you REALLY should have known better. Same with Spock since he’s seen this happen… how many times at this point? YOU BOTH SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!

God I have SOOOO much I want to say about McCoy in this episode. I’m saving most of it for the inevitable meta but… AAAAHHHHH!!!

McCoy telling Kirk and Spock that he’s not coming with them… God man. Kirk outright looks like a kicked puppy. I mean o matter what McCoy dying is an inevitability… but McCoy choosing tondie either via illness or being shot down away from his two best friends… God that has to hirt.

Kirk looking up at McCoy when Scotty questions it… God it hurts. Kirk’s pretty much begging him at that point to change his mind, and McCoy silently, almost coldly just steps back and away from him and Spock. Just… ooowwww.

At least McCoy had the good sense to call them when he realized there was a way to save Yonada. It almlst got him killed, but still!

Haha, Natira realizing that McCoy can’t truly leave Kirk and Spock, haha. Poor woman never had a chance.

Give Natira credit, she DID listen and ultimately came around to not blindly believing the Oracle. That’s worth something!

The Oracle gives me serious villain form Wall-E vibes… honestly the whole plot gives me some mild Wall-E vibes.

Well the breakup was pretty contrived… but hey at least they didn’t go the easy route of just killing Natira or something. I’m glad it was amicable at least, they both have different paths to go down in life and they’re commited to it. Plus I think Natira knows that she can’t beat out Kirk and Spock, haha!

The cure is also contrived and really last second, like they coudln’t think kf a better resolution… but honestly IDK how they could have resolved this without having a last second save since the show just didn’t do continuous narratives. but hey McCoy survived and makes it to his 130’s at least, so why nitpick?

The episode is good, but not as good as it could have been. Mainly the ending being contrived and kind of rushed and it feels like they forgot all about McCoy having xenopolycythemia to focus on him finally getting a love interest (who isn’t a salt monster dosguised as his ex, of course). But the overall execution, while flawed, also could have been MUCH worst and there’s still so much going on. Like I said DeForest Kelley is what sells it and I’m glad that someone allowed him have at least one episode where he got to be in the spotlight cause he deserved it. It’s not perfect, but it’s still plenty emotional and an overall good watch and a lot of what we know now helps add more depth. At least enough that me writing the McCoy meta for this is gonna be fuuuun XD
