Asking to Sketch Them
Tumblr media
HEARTSLABYUL
Riddle Rosehearts
Honestly a bit shocked you’d ask him
But he’s had practice from posing for family portraits, so he isn’t too nervous
Until you say you want the backdrop to be Heartslabyul’s garden
It doesn’t break any rules… but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t break any rules
He doesn’t collar people as often as he used to, but he still makes it a point to lecture rulebreakers on the importance of said rule
So imagine the strain on his face when Ace walks by with a vase full of roses and it’s Wednesday.
In the end Ace sits beside you while Riddle gives a long lecture, keeping the rest of his body perfectly still so it doesn’t interfere with your work
You are sweating in fear. 6/10 a good model but it’s hard to draw when your model is half yelling at the dude sitting right next to you
Trey Clover
Might hesitate to say yes because he’s a busy guy,,
I mean they have tea parties like everyday and he’s always in charge of sweets-
You say he can go about his business and that you’re going to capture him in his natural habitat then he agrees
Raises an eyebrow cuz you make it sound like you’re on national geographic but ok
Anyways you’re drawing him while he’s baking and damnnn those biceps pop when he’s whisking
Secretly, however, he’s been holding back for a while now/
When you’re least expecting it he comes closer to you… and bam whipped cream on the side of your face
Devolves into flour tossing and chaos
6/10 you got whipped cream on your sketchbook and it was half finished but it was a fun memory
Cater Diamond
“OMS YAY of course ;DD”
Internally screaming because his makeup isn’t that good today and why him I mean there are better looking people in nrc and maybe he can get his clone to do it instead-
Overthinker fr
He’s a bit stiff at first, trying to only show his good side and checking his camera constantly to see if his smile looks good
If you’re close and you start talking to him about something he’s passionate about while you’re sketching he’ll loosen up a bit and his pose becomes a lot more natural
Eventually forgets you’re even drawing him and now it’s just him showing his true colours
Takes a pic of your finished sketch along with the both of you and posts it on magicam #muse #artistbestie
8/10 the sketch turned out well and you had a nice chat 
Deuce Spade
Has never been asked this question in his life
Boy is so stiff and awkward pls baby
He smiles like Oga from Beelzebub at first
Pls pls pls get this boy to do something else while you’re drawing him to get him to relax
Might be studying across the table from you while having a nice chat
Forgets you’re drawing him eventually pt.2
Tbh moves around a lot especially if a senior enters the room cuz he makes it a point to turn around and greet them while standing up
Is a bit surprised when you say you’re done because shit I forgot and I moved so much im sorry-
Also takes a picture of the sketch
Texts his mom the pic “I made a really good friend who’s great at drawing :D”
Will ask if you can draw a portrait of him and his mom together when you get the chance (will pay for it he just doesn’t know about the concept of commissions TT)
4/10 he’s so precious but not the best model tbh id still ask him again idc
Ace Trappola
Little shit (affectionate)
Not hard to make him agree but boy will he give you shit for it “my face is just that handsome ig” “you want me to get nude?” someone kiss him and make him shut up
At first he’s making a bunch of dumb faces and exaggerated poses and once he determines that you’re sufficiently annoyed he starts actually posing normally
Might get up halfway through and start stretching or laying down cuz he got tired though
Depending on how late he slept the night before and if you’re keeping quiet so he doesn’t get the chance to tease you, he might fall asleep
His sleeping face is cute so it works out for you ehe
When you’re done he acts all non chalant and smug about it but inside he’s sooo happy damn tsundere
Asks if he can draw you next and draws a potato with three dots on it <3
2/10 its only easy when he falls asleep but he’s cute so ill give him 1 extra point
-----
Heartslabyul | Savanaclaw | Octavinelle | Scarabia | Pomefiore | Ignihyde | Diasomnia

Also first time writing omg depending on my mood next part will either be out tomorrow or next month see yall

(I'll be honest, I don't really remember what the book says about this. And it’s also important to note that canon and fanon got mixed up in my head so much, so I can`t separate them)
But!
Just hear me out! Ok? It could be painful but anyway
Think about how Sirius came to Grimmauld Place for the first time since Azkaban. Firstly, he didn’t just come there after 12 years in prison. He came there for the first time since he was 16! But that's not the point.
The portrait of Walburga! I'm sure Sirius spoke to her!
Walburga couldn't just remain silent when she saw Sirius. She screamed at him, how he dared to come there, tried to kick him out of the Grimmauld. So Sirius immediately ordered Kreacher to cover the portrait. He tried to remove her from the wall… many and many times, but it was unsuccessful. So he had to accept that his mother would continue to grumble from under the cloth. Every time Sirius passed by, she continued to mutter, sometimes scream, and insult her own son. She called him a disgrace to the family, a blood traitor and said that he was not her son, not Black, and had no right to be here, she wished him death a lot of times. Walburga wanted to get him, to hurt him, and Sirius knew it. He knew he should ignore her. He tried, tried very hard to ignore insults from the woman who gave him life. It happened that several times he stopped in front of the covered portrait, but after a second, he gathered his strength and kept walking. But at one particular moment, something broke inside of Sirius. He furiously pulled the cloth off the portrait.
Just think about that conversation, if you can call it a conversation, that happened next.
Please, I'm begging, someone write extremely angsty and heartbreaking fanfic about it.
And also a few things that, in my opinion, happened then:
No matter how emotionally Walburga had screamed before, but the moment Sirius tore off the cloth, shouting “enough!” his mother sat there calmly with the coldest expression on her face, and the first thing she said was: “I’m not surprised that you betrayed Potters. You've been a wimp since childhood". And it was the moment they both new it, she got him, it was the point of no return.
It also seems to me that Walburga would blame Sirius for the death of his brother. Not because she thought so. Because she was hurt by the loss of Regulus, and she wanted to hurt Sirius the same way.
When Remus entered the Grimmauld Place that day, the first thing he heard was Walburga`s grating voice, resonating through the house in insults. She kept exclaiming all those awful things about family betrayal, Regulus`s death, and Potters, she even mentioned Remus. The next thing he found was Sirius on the floor in the very corner of the room, in complete darkness, because Sirius got used to this after 12 years. To the darkness and cold floor. Sirius sat there looking as miserable as never before. He was hugging his knees and rocking back and forth paranoidly. His eyes were red, tears were streaming down his cheeks, and all Sirius could say was a quiet and repeated "enough" mixed with sobs.
And also think if there was a portrait of Regulus in the house and if Sirius ever spoke to him.

holy shit that was incredible 🧎 as usual right after reading one of ur posts i'm craving a LOT of bts info. how did u decide who would be the closest to which until dawn character? were there any choices u went back and forth on? how are u so talented? are there any hidden easter eggs? how do u think their relationships would change in the following months?
the edits are beyond stunning, i've been staring at the portraits for so long and i'm gonna reread the whole thing tmrw in case i missed smtn <3
ahhh thank you!!! i'm so happy you liked it 🥺💖
so the thing is, i'm like. wildly hyperfixating on until dawn right now and i decided to platinum the game, which involves replaying it at least 3 times (in my case it took 6 because i'm bad at gaming lol) so i had a ton of time to think about this AU while i was watching the same unskippable cut-scenes over and over. the first thing i thought was "haha i also have a character named matt who's kind of a pushover" and the rest is history :')
characters
Josh = Finn: i knew i couldn't have an actual josh in this case because none of my characters would do exactly what he did, but the core elements of josh are already in finn: he was wronged by the people in his life he trusted the most, he lashes out when he feels strong emotions, and he's really just scared and lonely underneath it all. so then i thought, what if josh's fake ghost antics were an actual ghost? and who's better for that role than finn? however, his parents are definitely not rich, so the lodge couldn't belong to his family. that's why i decided to make it a larger hunting lodge where all kinds of hunters would come together. also did you notice how i didn't even tell you who killed finn in the AU because no spoilers :P
Sam = Asa: i actually don't care for sam tbh but she's the obvious leader of the group, the level-headed one, the angel on your shoulder. asa can be impulsive at times (especially in regards to finn) but he's still the person i would choose to be at my my side during a crisis. his parents are the only ones with money, so it makes sense for danny to purchase the lodge without visiting it himself. sam is also compassionate to josh and has somewhat of a romantic thing going on with him if you read it that way, so that fits for asa and finn.
Jessica = Elaine: jess (best girl!!!!!) is the first person with the possibility of dying, and her death/injury is the catalyst for multiple characters future decisions, so her equivalent had to be someone who's also strongly connected to numerous others. so elaine is perfect! she's also the only person of my group who i can imagine storming outside in the snow in her underwear to give her friends a piece of her mind fjskjds but she also has enough strength of character & resilience to make it realistic that she might survive so many injuries.
Mike = Austin: this felt like a no-brainer because austin already has knowledge about guns, he's fearless, and if elaine got hurt, austin would go fucking ballistic. he stops caring about his own survival and starts making brash, unwise choices. but that's where the similarities end, because i actually really hate mike and i feel bad comparing austin to him lmao. say what you will about austin, but he would never try to talk his way into having sex with a girl who literally says "i'm just not feeling it". i hate mike 😒
Chris = Stevie: now hear me out!! at first glance you might think stevie would be ashley. they cry a lot, they look to others for guidance, and they even look alike. but stevie strikes me as much more of a chris type, being that chris was never meant to be the hero. he's a goofy nerd who tells jokes when he's nervous and screams his head off any time he has to do something brave. and that's exactly what stevie's role in this AU is. despite her nature, she's making brave decisions for the benefit of her friends. (but this pic did remind me of ashley)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Matt = Matt: he's kinda just..... here. he cracks some jokes, he can either diffuse or encourage arguments, he plays second fiddle to his girlfriend most of the time. he tries to be the hero but fails miserably. but he has a good heart and he almost never does anything controversial.
Alisa = Ashley: alisa is WAY less outwardly emotional than ashley, but she has the same chaotic, contradictory nature. she cares about people, but she's also capable of coldly letting others die to save herself. she's good at making others feel protective of her even if she doesn't need protecting. she's VERY curious.
Jada = Emily: listen emily just doesn't fit with any of my characters even though i love her so much. but jada does share her determination in the face of fear, her will to survive at any cost, and the way she has the capability to soften up and be really sweet under the right circumstances. they're both much more resourceful and capable than you would initially think. but jada is more likely to follow others' guidance than make plans herself.
other stuff!
for the safe room scene, i thought it would be more interesting if it was the archetypal heroic boyfriend who was bitten and the archetypal damsel in distress who holds his fate in her hands. but there is no way in hell that austin would just sit there and let someone shoot him. when he takes alisa hostage, it almost makes it easier to shoot him; if he were pleading for his life, jada would never pull the trigger, no matter how much alisa told her to. but since he puts himself in the position of the aggressor (the exact thing they feared he would do) it becomes a more believable dilemma. of course, we learn later that the bite is not infectious and austin never would've turned, but none of them know that yet. even austin doesn't know. this scene in the game is extremely horrifying to me so i hope i did it justice in my AU too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i said this in the replies too, but: the playthrough i envisioned with the stats and pictures makes these major choices: elaine initially survives the mine, matt dies by the rope, stevie's leg is fine, jada shoots austin (why she's covered in blood in her portrait), jada & alisa die in the explosion, stevie rescues elaine, and finn saves asa!
imagine the lantern is doing this shit the whole time LMAOO
Tumblr media
the swiss army knife in my AU basically has the same function as the flare gun in until dawn. if matt doesn't have it, he'll die. but if emily doesn't have it, she'll only be bitten. but getting the flare gun into the right hands is sooo convoluted so i had to simplify it for our purposes.
Tumblr media
butterfly effects
i didn't include these because i was trying to keep things brief, but here's some of the other ideas i had:
if elaine & austin's relationship drops too low before they arrive at the guest cabin, then elaine won't kiss him and will go outside to look for her phone against his wishes. that's where she would be taken by the creature instead.
if jada and alisa don't find enough clues about finn's disappearance, then they will not recognize finn when they find his remains. this makes finn less likely to protect them later in the night.
if jada shot austin and her relationship with alisa is HIGH, then alisa will give herself injuries on her face to help corroborate their self defense story. if jada shot austin and her relationship with alisa is LOW, then alisa will be fascinated and say "i didn't know you had it in you..." but will not offer to corroborate the story. in both scenarios, alisa will then say she doesn't want to sit around with austin's body. jada will have the option of leaving with alisa or staying inside the safe room. jada can say no (alisa might survive, jada dies), or yes (they both might survive). or if they have a high relationship, she can convince alisa to stay too (they both die).
if matt survives the attack in the mines, then stevie's leg will be injured because she didn't have the knife, meaning she arrives much later to rescue elaine/matt. so if elaine is still alive, matt can find her in the mines and they have a conversation. they will both be impressed by each other's survival, and elaine will feel bad that matt is only in the mines because of her. she asks where austin is, but matt has no idea. then stevie shows up and the rest plays out as described!
after dawn
so obviously their relationships would vary wildly depending on who survives and what choices they made to get there.
in an everyone survives playthrough, austin and elaine would break up soon after the events of the game. if you notice, elaine's perception of austin went down a lot because austin didn't try to save her after she fell down the elevator. she felt abandoned by him when he was the most physically capable & experienced person who could have saved her, but instead it was her injured best friend who never gave up on her. so they're done lol. stevie and matt would break up amicably (for reasons unrelated to the night in question) and remain friends, because how could they not? as for alisa, she doesn't talk to any of them anymore. she was only ever close with jada in the first place, but after jada refused to shoot austin, she lost all trust in her. after finn's remains are found, his spirit is no longer chained to the lodge and he's able to join asa at home. this version of finn is like a normal ghost in that he can appear to anyone he wants. he becomes close friends with all of asa's friends, especially stevie. and then... a few years later... a family called the washingtons purchases the property for their kids (josh, beth, and hannah) to throw parties in. just kidding sjfkjsd sole survivor playthrough: with the outline i laid out, there's actually no way for each of them to be the sole survivor because i had to cut so much out for brevity (i know it doesn't seem like it lol). but it's possible for asa, stevie, elaine, or matt to be sole survivors. the most heartbreaking is probably stevie, who would've had to see matt's decapitated head, heard the lodge blow up with asa, jada, alisa, and austin inside, then watch elaine die right in front of her. so that's super fucked and i don't want to think about that anymore!! asa being the sole survivor makes the most sense logically, because he has finn to protect him for most of it. elaine or matt being the sole survivor would be if one of them dies early in the game and then stevie dies trying to help elaine/matt escape. in any case, i don't think all the therapy in the world could cure that amount of survivor's guilt... everyone dies playthrough: the group become ghosts who haunt the mountain. finn's body is never recovered because no one is alive to report it to the police, so he is never at peace either. danny still owns the property, so he destroys the cable car and builds a giant electrified fence so that, hopefully, no human will ever return to the cursed mountain. i can't even / don't want to imagine how any of their parents would be able to move on after such a tragedy, it makes me genuinely sad to think about :( everybody dies playthroughs are all fun and games until you think about what comes after 😭
ANYWAY THAT'S ALL!! thank you so much for indulging my frankly rabid brain fjskdjs i know i keep saying it, but until dawn is my most confusing obsession because i first played the game in 2015 and i wasn't a fan; i thought the characters were annoying and the gameplay was lacking. but a few months ago i randomly decided to watch a playthrough of the quarry and that made me want to give until dawn another chance, and now...... yeah. idk what happened here but now it's all i can think about lmao. but being able to talk about the game with other people is sooo fun and i'm really happy i did this!! 💖

Hello.
Listen, I'm still not over ep 11 yet. AND THEN THEY GIVE ME THIS I- *muffled screaming*
Anyways, welcome to my crack posts. =D
Warning: long post 😊😅 (I somehow took even more screenshots than last time 😭)
Tumblr media
I knew something like this would happen hehe
Also-
Don't lie, Peem, he'd already won your heart the moment he said "Na, krab" with those puppy eyes
Tumblr media
I love how despite thinking they're enemies up till this point, Tan immediately jumps on the ship the moment he learns it exists.
Tumblr media
Fang: cute. <3
Tumblr media
Q: cutee. <33
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shy babygirl Peem has my whole heart 🥺🫶🏼
Tumblr media
Yeah? Anyone specific you want to draw a portrait of, Peem? Someone from Engineering, maybe? Someone who confessed to you in front of all your combined friends just last night? No? 👀
Tumblr media
This smile. This goddamn smile. I get you, Peem, I totally get you.
Tumblr media
Q peeking in small into the bag is so accurate 😭
Tumblr media
As I'd said in my previous post: "Right in front of my salad?!" and "Something very LGBT just happened to me o.o"
Tumblr media
NOSE BOOP
I love nose boops hehe
Tumblr media
[Phum: I have to go to class.]
You actually go to class?! *pikachu meme face*
Q's face perfectly expresses my feeling, and I'm definitely saving these as meme pics
Tumblr media
Peem's plan to be hit on backfired so fast so hard 😭
Poor boy went into shock 😭
Tumblr media
Peem is never hearing the end of this from Q. Never.
I love their friendship though. Besties forever. <3
Tumblr media
Toey looks so excited here 😭🫶🏼
He's definitely over the moon that his two beloved hias finally realized they like each other (and of course he manifested this wdyem)
Tumblr media
Throwing stones from inside a glass house, huh Q?
You're just as bad as, if not worse than Peem.
*shaking my head fondly* these boys are so whipped for their baes
Tumblr media
This ep gave me a lot of meme pic ehehe
Why so surprised, Peem? You were the one telling Phum to flirt on you, why so shy now huh?
Tumblr media
Oh, Aunt Pui knows. She's just trying to help her nephew get a nice boyfriend hehe
Also- learning the family business early on? Nice move, Phum.
I'm pretty sure Aunt Pui will accept Phum as family the very instant they start dating.
Actually- she probably already has.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What will you be tying next? The knot?? (I am so so happy I can make that joke and actually mean it now.)
Oh, and I love love love their dynamics. I'm always looking for verse because I don't like active power dynamics, but this show really delivered on it. There's always a push and pull, but throughout, they're equals. Yes, even through that slave era (remember how exactly Peem came to be his slave?). It did start off with a slight imbalance, but it evened out pretty fast (because Phum is incapable of not being the cutest clingy little puppy for more than ten minutes and Peem is weak for it).
PhumPeem/PeemPhum is giving me so much that I'd thought I'd almost never get from BLs (there are a few other examples, I think, but this is probably my topmost).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't know if y'all have noticed, but Phum is deliberately soft and is often using polite pronouns for the last two episodes.
It's just... they're so pretty 😭
This scene is just >>>
Tumblr media
He-
HE LEARNED LATTE ART JUST TO USE THIS LINE WITH PEEM I'M DYING OH GODS
Phum is 200% committed. Other upcoming BL romantic interests, please take notes.
Jokes aside, what started out as a potential red flag (even two years ago, this relationship would have been very very different) turned into the greenest flag (with a side of childhood trauma).
Tumblr media
Did he just-
He almost confessed!!! So close!!
Also- please give me them as boyfriends already, I'm on my hands and knees. But can you imagine what they'll be like when they actually start dating...?
...
I CAN'T WAIT. GIMME NOW. *grabby hands*
Tumblr media
This scene made me speechless. Ep 12 was full of beautiful, absolutely stunning scenes, but this was what took my breath - his cute smile that lights up his whole face, his "Pai, krab" and the sheer relief when Peem asks him if he wants to go.
For a moment there, he thought Peem would leave, just like all the people in his life. He knows it wouldn't be permanent, but it's hard to get rid of such an old, deep-rooted fear.
But Peem, unknowingly, immediately waves it away by asking him if he wanted to come with. The only thing is... I don't think it was that unknowing.
I'll end part 1 on this note. Part 2 will be posted soon!
If you've reached this far, thank you so much for reading! 😊
Here, have a doughnut 🍩
And here are my previous We Are posts.

greetings, zak! although there may be no need for such a formal greeting since . . . in this ask i’m just screaming about —
B A B I E M A R I U S ! ! !
SJTSYKDKYDKY GIANT IRKSOME MENACE (sososososoooooo very lovingly. affectionate. endeared. [ insert every synonym that shows up on the result of my google search ] to the highest possible degree, although not by a normal amount, i think) NOW SEEN WHEN HE WAS A PRECIOUS TEENY TINY LITTLE BABIE BOY ( . . . this may no longer be within the normal territory of ‘liking’ )
screeeeee! the amount of angsty, likely, of course, ykw who we’re talking about content in the event! systkzyks all of that content is going to be fed into the brainworms of imagining angsty von hangups— i mean von hagen— i mean— . . . eh, i don’t think it matters that much when both of them mean pretty much the same HAHAHAH
this is probably just my deluded brain infested with brainworms seeing things through incredibly skewed eyes only focusing on brainworm headcanons, but do i maybe see another frame behind babie marius? and the silhouette of a person in the frame? ( DYDYKSTJZGJSTJ i should probably wait until hyv gives us more pixels to see . . . )
IS THAT A MIRROR REFLECTING GIANN TAKING THE PHOTO OF BABIE MARIUS? IS THAT A PORTRAIT / PHOTO OF MAMA VON HAGEN? IS THAT — //is dragged away by hyv into the waiting area and silenced.
anyhow, kindly pardon me for screaming and going insane in this ask, it would be understandable if this went ignored. many thanks for your patience 🙇‍♀️
have a pleasant day ahead!
⚜️
salutations, fleurdelis :DDD pls im so delighted this started off formal and then took a hard swerve to marius screaming JHVKJAHFKASJ
IRKSOME MENACE!!! i hadnt heard that one before im so using it from now on to refer to marius as an alternative to my usual "infuriating bastard". he is So Many Synonyms of this and also yes, soon, we will see BABIE VON HAGEN
and OH DEFFO, WE R GONNA GET ANGST. all the bday2 ssrs have been deliciously emotional (i watched artem's a few weeks back and HOO BOY) and i am sossosoossosOOO EXCITED the von hangups are fascinating and i want to study this family and their effects towards marius' psyche under a MICROSCOPE
how r ur eyes so good omfg i could only make out the canvas but i can also see the frame/mirror thing in the back now that u mention it......when the full pic comes out we are gonna die, WE RLLY WILL
HE WILL BE SO SMALL AND SURELY THE CONTEXT WITHIN THE CARD STORY WILL ANNIHILATE US <3!!!!
i hope u have a great day too :D

Horror / Six: The Musical AU (X Reader) || Headcanons
Tumblr media
Explanation: So all the songs are being sun by different readers with different Henry’s (The Horror Villains of course) instead of one Henry. I think its pretty straight forward apart from that! I hope to make a second part to this where the readers actually meet up and complain about their times with their respective horror villains. This is fun XD Had the idea a couple months back and I posted it and one blog commented saying Six is their favourite musical, so this is basically for me and them haha XD 
Character Included: Michael Myers, Chucky / Charles Lee Ray (And Tiffany Valentine), Bubba Sawyer, Norman Bates, Mayor Buckman (And Harper Alexandre) and Jason Voorhees. 
Warnings: Murder of the readers (By respective Horror Villains and a non-explicit difficult birth in Bubba’s), birth / pregnancy, toxic / abusive relationships, sexual harrassment / maybe rape (All You Wanna Do- Buckmans), language, suggested mother / son grossness (Norman and Norma of course). 
I laugh in the face of those who would subdue my mad ideas. 
‘No Way’ (Reader as Catherine of Aragon): Michael Myers as Henry
Tumblr media
My name's Catherine of Aragon Was married 24 years I'm a paragon of royalty, my loyalty is to the Vatican So if you try to dump me You won't try that again 
You were in a, of course, very unequal relationship with the shape of Haddonfield. He saw you one day, was completely taken by you, and decided to let you live. He would come by and use you however he liked, kill the people you loved when they got your attention over him, etc. Like any other Michael Myers x Reader.
And, years and years later (Because it’s not like Michael finds someone every day that he gives even a bit of a shit about like he does - did, - you) he comes upon a new person. Someone he, like he was you, is drawn to.
And he tries to drop you like a hot potato.
And this infuriates you. You are not about to let go! He has ruined your life! You have no friends, no family, no life, because of him! All you have, is (regrettably) him and you are going to be his for the rest of your life. That’s what he wanted, that’s what the bastard’s going to get.
(Many, many years with him has caused your courage against him to grow spectacularly. You can say nearly anything to him)
|- ‘You must agree that, baby, in all the time I been by your side
I've never lost control’
‘I've put up with your sh- like every single day’ -|
You give him one more chance- if he can tell you one thing that you have done to him to legitimately hurt him… then you’ll leave willingly.
But he has nothing. And he doesn’t care.
|- ‘You got me down on my knees
Please tell me what you think I've done wrong
Been humble, been loyal, I've tried to swallow my pride all along
If you can just explain a single thing
I've done to cause you pain, I'll go
No?’ -|
//
|- ‘You wanna replace me? Baby, there's
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
You made me a wife, so I'll be queen 'til the end of my life’ -|
He ends up strangling you to death when you won’t shut up.
‘Don’t Lose Your Head’ (Reader as Anne Boleyn): Chucky / Charles Lee Ray as Henry (And Tiffany as Catherine of Aragon)
Tumblr media
I'm that Boleyn girl and I'm up next See I broke England from the church Yeah, I'm that sexy Why did I lose my head? Well, my sleeves may be green but my lipstick's red 
Chucky and his filthy ass catches sight of you. Young, French and vivacious and he’s got heart eyes on the spot. He wants you, but he also doesn’t really want to lose Tiffany.
So... yeah, you end up living with them both for a while and its very awkward and a very hostile situation.
|- ‘Here we go
(You sent him kisses)
I didn't know I would move in with his misses
(What?)
Get a life
(You're living with his wife?)
Like, what was I meant to do?’ -|
You don’t like it. No one likes this. Chucky! Make up your mind!
|- ‘Three in the bed and the little one said
If you wanna be wed, make up your mind
Her or me, chum
Don't wanna be some
Girl in a threesome
Are you blind?’ -|
Tiffany is of course Catherine, and the fandom (The people of Britain for the sake of this AU) loves her (As we all know), so when you come along and insult her because Chucky is now your man (Supposedly.) and of course you two aren’t getting along with each other in the first place because of him … you get a bad name.
|- ‘Ooh, why hasn't it hit her?
He doesn't want to bang you
Somebody hang you
(Wow Anne, way to make the country hate you)
Mate, what was I meant to do?’ -|
When eventually Chucky is able to grow the balls to boot Tiffany out (My heart hurts writing this, trust me), he pulls a ‘Once a cheater, always a cheater’ kind of shit and has no loyalty to you or respect for the sanctity of your relationship, and starts having one night stands here, there and everywhere. He tries vaguely to tell you you’re being silly and that’s not true- but he has lipstick on his shirt collars and perfume smell all over him.
Its not a nice living condition.
So you, still very much being the vivacious bitch that he ‘fell in love with’, go and flirt with some other guys. Just to make him a teensy bit jealous! I mean, its not like he’ll really care, right? You just wanna spark the fire again!
|- ‘Henry's out every night on the town
Just sleeping around, like what the hell?
If that's how it's gonna be
Maybe I'll flirt with a guy or three
Just to make him jell’ -|
But he finds out as planned… and is p i s s e d. He threatens that if you do that again, he’ll fucking kill you.
You, not going to let him talk to you like that, flirt with one more man. Just to be disobedient. 
|- ‘Henry finds out and he goes mental
He screams and shouts
Like so judgemental
You damn that witch
Mate, just shut up
I wouldn't be such a b-
If you could get it up’ -|
And you find out that he very much meant it when he said he would kill you.
|- ‘And now he's going 'round like off with her head (No)
(No)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he means it’ -|
‘Heart of Stone’ (Reader as Jane Seymour): Bubba Sawyer as Henry
Tumblr media
Jane Seymour the only one he truly loved (Rude) When my son was newly born, I died But I'm not what I seem or am I? Stick around and you'll suddenly see more 
You were an intended victim of the Sawyers, but like with Stretch, Bubba crushes on you instead. The difference here, is that you see the gentleness to him compared to his brothers, and how scared he is when one of them yells at him, and all the other little signs that he’s not as vicious or evil as his first impressions might convey. You have a big, brave heart, and you realise right there that its death and cannibalisation or understanding and caring for this man and you choose to love.
|- ‘You came my way, and I knew a storm could come too.’-|
//
|- ‘You've got a good heart
But I know it changes
A restless tide, untameable’ -|
So you take his hands in yours, all shaky and meaty as they are, and promise him that you will never leave him. You’ll protect him. You’ll take any mess he and his family can throw at you- you’ll always be with him. Your promise.
|- ‘But I took your hand, promised I'd withstand
Any blaze you blew my way
'Cause something inside, it solidified
And I knew I'd always stay’ -|
And he believes you, of course. Its so nice to be looked at so softly, especially by someone as pretty as you.
I- ‘You can build me up, you can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best, but I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
When the fire's burnt
When the wind has blown
When the water's dried, you'll still find stone
My heart of stone’ -|
And you prove yourself. You prove over and over again that no matter what he, or the twins, or Drayton, or even Grandpa throws at you- you’ll survive and you’ll stay, and you’ll never stop looking at him in that lovely soft way.
|- ‘You say we're perfect
A perfect family’ -|
You get pregnant of course because everyone in the Sawyers / Hewitts family has a breeding kink and you can’t tell me otherwise, and the birth is of course very difficult because Drayton isn’t about to pay for hospital bills. So you’re in their home, in all the mess and the dirt and with no sort of aesthetic, and…
|- ‘Soon I'll have to go
I'll never see him grow’  -|
You don’t make it. Your babies born fine and healthy, and you bring another strong Sawyer boy to the family, but you’re gone.
‘Get Down’ (Reader as Anne of Cleves): Norman Bates as Henry
Tumblr media
Ich bin Anne of Cleves Ja! When he saw my portrait, he was like Ja! But I didn't look as good as good as I did in my pic Funny how we all discuss that but never Henry's little- 
So, one day, Norman decides its time to properly settle down (Long after his mother… ah… ‘dies’) and get a partner, and because there isn’t really anyone around where he lives to date or, even, who wouldn’t get creeped out by him and his taxidermy, he turns to online dating.
He meets you there. You own and run your own hotel in the next state over, you don’t mind his taxidermy at all, and your profile picture looks… hauntingly familiar (If you look nothing like Vera Farmiga go by the original movie- she was but a skeleton there so she really could be anyone).
|- ‘Sittin' here all alone
On a throne
In a palace that I happen to own
I'm not fake 'cause I've got acres and acres
Paid for with my own riches’ -|
And you two get along great over messages! You online date for a good year before Norman proposes you elope and come to live with him! You think you’ve known him long enough, and you trust him!
So you fly right over, and he meets you at the airport, and…
He’s disappointed.
Like, ‘sorry, nah, you don’t look enough like mama so this isn’t gonna work’. In a more fidgety, quiet, subdued kind of way though. He’s so awkward with communication that he even suggests that you doctored your profile picture.
I- ‘You, you said that I tricked ya
'Cause I, I didn't look like my profile picture’ -|
And, understandably, you’re p i s s e d, and disgusted! But ya’ll already got married over the internet, so theirs no stopping that! This is your husband. You realise you’ve made a huge mistake and go right back to your home and your hotel to get divorce papers drawn up.  
You’re the queen of your own fucking castle, who needs him?
|- ‘I'm the queen of the castle
Get down, you dirty rascal
'Cause I'm the queen of the castle’ -|
You are understandably, very very mad. And you say some things to Norman about he and his mother, that… may be true… but that he certainly doesn’t appreciate.
When you finally get the papers, and you’ve been separated long enough for it to be legal, you go back to the Bates Motel to get Norman to sign them and stay over a night. You’ve calmed down enough that you’re able to have a pleasant conversation with him, and you decide that you’re too tired to take the plane back home right away so you take up Normans offer to stay in one of vacant rooms (*Cough* So you basically have the run of the place. Or they do. *Cough).
Norman is also pretty calm about the whole thing as well, like you! But… Norma, is still seething.
You don’t wake up the next morning.  
‘All You Wanna Do’ (Reader as Kathrine Howard): Mayor Buckman as Henry (And Harper as Thomas)
Tumblr media
Prick up your ears, I'm the Catherine who lost her head (Beheaded) For my promiscuity outside of wed Lock up your husbands Lock up your sons K. Howard is here and the fun's begun 
Right, so, you haven’t had good luck in love throughout your life, so you decide to give up on boys entirely. 
|- ‘So I decided to have a break from boys
And you'll never guess who I met’ -|
… And meet a man, not much later. A man in power; A mayor. A man who’s been married before and has a beard (So you know; He’s a man. XD No little boy.). This is of course Buckman. He calls you love, and you get a job in Pleasant Valley that keeps you comfortably busy. You feel like, finally, you’re where you belong. You feel fulfilled- no committed relationships are necessary.
|- ‘Globally revered
Although you wouldn't know it from the look of that beard
Made me a lady in waiting
Hurled me and my family up in the world
Gave me duties in court and he swears it's true
That without me, he doesn't know what he'd do
He cares so much, he calls me love’ -|
But then Buckman tells you that he cares about you. You have a connection. He doesn’t feel just ‘friendly’ feelings towards you- he wants more. And, though you are a little disappointed that your solitude didn’t last, you decide that he’s decent enough (’He is rather kind to me, and he does makes me smile a fair bit’, you try to reason with yourself that this is a good idea) and so you start to go out. Its not long before you’re married.
|- ‘So we got married Woo…’
Woo…’ -|
But being married to him isn’t easy. Not at all. You’re not use to politics; There are so many rules now, and he’s always too busy to help. And the rest for Pleasant Valley are a bit… odd. And you just don’t fit in. And this is wear Harper (Thomas) comes in.
|- ‘With Henry, it isn't easy
His temper's short, and his mates are sleazy
Except for this one courtier
He's a really nice guy, just so sincere
The royal life isn't what I planned
But Thomas is there to lend a helping hand
So sweet, makes sure that I'm okay
And we hang out loads when the King's away’ -|
And he’s so lovely and caring towards you (Never more then when Buckman leaves for business in other towns), helping you through the transition from your old life to this one. He’s a good friend, to you. And that is most definitely all he is, on your side of it. A friend. You don’t feel attractions towards him at all apart from that, and he doesn’t try to make any moves. Its wonderful!
|- ‘This guy, finally
Is what I want, the friend I need
Just mates, no chemistry
I get him and he gets me’ -|
… Until one day when Buckman has been away for a month, he tells you he cares about you. You have a connection. He doesn’t feel just ‘friendly’ feelings towards you- he wants more.
|- ‘He says we have a connection
I thought this time was different
Why did I think he'd be different?
But it's never, ever different’ -|
Lets just say one things leads to another, despite you at first turning him away and saying no. He’s so insistent, and a little scary, and you’re lonely because your husbands’ has been away so long, and… something happens that you regret and feel gross about.
|- ‘Squeeze me, don't care if you don't please me
Bite my lip and pull my hair
As you tell me, I'm the fairest of the fair
Playtime's over.’ -|
You tell Buckman when he gets home, and you watch as every bit of warmth and love in his eye disappears, just like that.
Its not long after that that his jealousy and betrayed rage takes over… and… you die with a rope around your neck and your feet swaying above the ground.
|- ‘Playtime’s over’ -|
(Alternatively, Sheriff Hoyt as Henry and Thomas as Thomas)
‘I Don’t Need Your Love’ (Reader as Catherine Parr): Jason Voorhees as Henry (Your last love was Jason when he was alive)
Tumblr media
Five down, I'm the final wife I saw him to the end of his life I'm the survivor Catherine Parr I bet you wanna know how I got this far I said I bet you wanna know how we got this far Do you wanna know how we got this far then? 
So, you’re like the leader of the ‘Slashers Ex Squad’ because you, unlike the others, survived your time with Jason. This is because Jason did, truly, love you (To an extent- not enough to let you go and live your life without him or be free). None of the others really did. Not like he did.
|- ‘Became the one who survived’ -|
Your story:
You and Jason had an adorable little 11-year-old puppy love relationship when he was alive. You were his only friend, and he had it bad for you because of it. Pamela loved you, too.
When he died you were of course devastated, and years later when you were 30 (Making him also thirty- not that you know that. You still think he’s dead at this point) you’re taken by the need to go back to Camp Crystal Lake and pay your respects to your childhood love / friend. Its just one of those nostalgic days.
When you go, and you set flowers down by the lake, Jason catches sight of you. He thinks about killing you… but then your features start to make sense to him. He recognises you, and for the first time since his mother was killed, he feels his heartbeat speed up and swell with hope.
Jason of course kidnaps you then, and keeps you hostage for himself. He missed you. He doesn’t want to survive anymore time without you. You’re all he has left!
… After you realise that this is Jason Voorhees, you quickly learn that this Jason is, of course, not the boy that you cared, and care, so deeply about. He’s done horrible things, and he is never going to stop; And frankly, deep inside… he scares you.
But its not like you can leave him! He would never let you, he’s made that clear. You are all he has, and now, he is all that you have.
|- ‘I don't have a choice
If Henry says "it's you", then it's you
No matter how I feel
It's what I have to do’ -|
So you write a letter to the old Jason (And your old life), saying goodbye, in admittance to the fact that you’ll never be able to get away from this new Jason. This is you letting go of your freedom and any preconceptions that anything will every be the same- with Jason, or otherwise.
|- ‘It's true I'll never be over you 'Cause I have built a future in my mind with you And now the hope is gone There's nothing left for me to do’
'Cause I have built a future in my mind with you
And now the hope is gone
There's nothing left for me to do’ -|
You never stop hating him for how he’s changed (How he’s taken your Jason away, and wont even attempt to go back) and how he’s stolen away your freedom.
|- ‘I'd say "Henry, yeah it's true
I'll never belong to you
'Cause I am not your toy, to enjoy till there's something new
As if I'm gonna give up my boy, my work, my dreams
To care for you"
"Ha, darling, get a clue”
But I can't say that
Not to the king’ -|
You eventually die of natural causes at, like, 60.

THE GREAT ND REWATCH OF 2021 / SEPTEMBER 28-29, 2019 // the bonny scot
posting this a day later than normal because this is one of the rare episodes that shows a passage of time from one day to the next yayy love that for them
-wonder what filming these beginning sexy scenes is like for them in real life
-sooooo can lucy see nancys sexy dream? is she judging? does this mean she likes nancy with owen or nick more? or is she trying to tell nancy that her sex dreams are irrelevant to the mystery at hand and she needs to focus?
-seeing people in the ✨prison chair✨: gomber, carson, karen (voting for josh s3 just saying)
-completely ignores carson's question about herself typical nance
-"or maybe i did stumble across a knife" its like hes trying to make the case against him look plausible while attempting to maintain innocence. this is a slippery slope for carson to try and encourage her to keep her pacified + hide the truth while also trying to keep her from getting involved bc hudsons
-"genetics gets you in the door" aaaaand then she walks in to everetts office to meet him and crashes their family dinner
-ok who tf is dawn and why is she in charge here
-this guidance counselor of nicks is my favorite person
-"i admire your allergy to pleasantries" bess and nancy both have reveals to big families but nancy does not have the graceful, accepting reveal to her rich family like bess does at this lunch. nancys reveal is messy, cold, bloodstained and sticky-fingered, not nice in any way whatsoever. and this little chat with everett (bit of a parallel to lucy's) just highlights how nancy is always bad at bargaining with her grandparents*- always trying to fight on their level but giving up her equal hand bc she doesnt know how to hide it when they bring up something she doesnt know. like confronting celia at the masque: she was so confident with her theory and what she knew, but then we got a "what does that mean?" like. the instant you say that, you lose. and she walked right into the "yes i do have someone, hes in jail" 🤦🏼‍♀️ even in the car with ryan at the end of s1, he literally just fucking leaves her there. like 🤷🏼‍♀️ what did u think was gonna happen sis?? for all she can predict how past things lead to present circumstances shes fucking awful at seeing the direct future *(grandparents except for patrice bc her dementia makes her inaccessable)
-lmaooooo this awko ass portrait...i get the empty space is for nance but who on earth thought this was a good pic??
-LISBETH 🥺💙
-"will u help the claw for me?" george struggles financially to keep her livelihood while nancy is somehow shown as being taken care of even when her parent is incarcerated; both nancy and george live in single parent homes now with mention of both medical debt and george being breadwinner yet nancy has no struggles while george does. (i wonder if ryan had been able to help george here how the story would have changed)
-"when it comes to following people around without their knowledge or consent i am somewhat of a repeat offender" 😂😂😂
-"he wasnt endgame after all" BESS lmaoooo
-"...okay." lmaoooo i fuckin love owen
-i was hoping the girls' faces would be more shocked like with a glance to owen but they just....werent
-"we're the good guys" <---- this statement is soooo interesting in terms of how they structure the show and how the characters see themselves (its an interesting contrast with the more definitive good vs evil with things that are both clearly good and clearly evil but theres also a lot of moral grey area here, the show is kinda swamped in it. are nancy and crew the good guys? are they the bad guys in someone else's story? concerns.)
-"i'd call it more than just stuff" like why did u concede that??? and then the shit about oof that didnt sound like a compliment lmaoooooo why does she suck at arguing?? she and owen wouldnt work long term bc theyre so similar (as mentioned later on)
-i LOVE george slowly falling in love with nick here- hence how upset she gets when nick bails on her for nancy later (which is totally justified!!!)
-i am LIVING for the little nod this driver guy gives bess when she turns back around all nervous 😂
-"i do like buying things" i would so say that too tbh
-"you'd have plenty to talk about" LMFAOOOOOOO SHE KNOWS "marvins dont marry drivers" so diana is totally fine with the gay its just the poor she has a problem with 😂💙fuckin love that
-love how nancy just casually ruins everything for nick/george lmaooo
-"i have seen you at your best, nancy, and there is nothing like it." 🥴😳 i love this still-in-love look nancy gives him thats so strong he had to change the subject
-so is haunting time 11 pm? from that clock of bashiir's?
-how do NO neighbors notice this fucking water and shit
-these are TOTALLY AWFUL fake screams from the bonny scot crew 😭
-"i know well enough not to get involved when he's in play" both carson and ryan avoid engaging with everett even though nancy is willing to do so armed with less info and more balls/ but "could i trust him" and ryan says yes lmaooooo NO honey + that makes ryan 0/2 for helping the girls when they ask this ep
-"find a project of your own" and he does, with his youth center 🙏🏻💙 what s2 foreshadowing!
-"god i wish i still drank" 😂😂😂
-"she is darling." 💙👌🏻
-okay wtf is mirror bay??
-i really wonder about the extent of celia x sebastians relationship here. did she truly care about him or was it just secret and exciting sex? also would love more hints of diana vs celia moments like these. celia doesnt even look upset. i mean shes had time to deal but like wtf. and who exactly is sebastian to diana? not her husband? like damn what if he was. somehow i doubt she'd talk about him diddling celia if diana was disrespected also
-i wonder if celia being so invested in dna testing nancy was bc everrett dna tested ryan to make sure he was his bc of sebastian / other men (which would be totally valid on his part!! but wouldnt it be funny as fuck if ryan wasnt his 😂)
-what a neat hiding place in this frame lmaooo who put that in for them tho? like how do u go about ordering that
-"you certainly are your fathers daughter" this quote is doubly ironic and foreshadowy bc theyre referencing carson here as being a useful hudson attaché but nancy is playing everett just like ryan played celia about putting his house up (but TRIPLY ironic bc carson pulls off the long con of hiding nancy from the hudsons right under their noses this whole time!) the one time nancy is successful against them
-that bess/lisbeth look while lisbeth does something badass (+diana reassessing now that lisbeth has been revealed to be useful)
-"almost as fun as a real fight" why do i believe him? lmaoooo a bit weird that he would enjoy a fight w a partner, but i also think this is an acknowledgement of nancy being an "opponent" who exists at his level. but i also love the "let me take you out" as a direct mirror of her relationship with nick, where she avoids the public acknowledgment/"going out" but prefers the more subtle/hidden arrangements of staying in. but as shown with later eps, owen is way more capable of meeting nancy where shes at, which is so important to her + the only way of getting close to nancy. (the only foil is ace who somehow is able to do both)
-"not always about a guy" <---- this could have been such a powerful statement if the show had thought having nancy end up alone/choose herself instead of pitting her between love interests (nick, owen, gil, even potentially ace, in only 2 seasons) was a more worthy stance to take ; as an aro/ace person i cant tell you how much i would kill to see just one female protag choose herself over a man. and its more realistic to end up alone than have a happy ending anyway, for all that these shows try to be as "real" and gritty grimdark as possible
-"is that what you want?" this is an interesting question to his mother- like maybe he senses her unhappiness? combined with his issues with his father- still trying to look out for his mom? either way it's sweet. (it could also potentially work as foreshadowing of something happening to her, but i think that was played with but then diverted when it was revealed who really killed her) "i think its time i steer this ship" still kind of patriarchal tho. i get that its him coming into his own as a dad technically but still. i also like how he calls her "mother" and not mom
-love that old white people thumbs up at george asking about his clams 👍🏻
-okay fuck dawn tho lmfaoooo
-"stressful dinner huh?" 😂 i fucking love lisbeth so much why didnt they bring her back (wouldnt it be Fucking Hilarious if they brought lisbeth back to bounce bess on her expired visa since the marvins kicked her out and didnt fix it lmaoooooo)
-BESS IS A TOP lmaooooooo i fuckin knew it
-nick says "you can pay me back" wonder if thats gonna come back in s3 considering their "marital problems" (also, those bonds are sosus lmfaoooo if any single person cashing those was looked at sideways they'd confess in 2 seconds that some random guy is handing out bearer bonds they dont even make anymore with absolutely zero proof as to how he got them)
-"you wanna finish what you started?" 👀 (dont mind if i do)
-"i need my dad back" parallels s2 when she asks him to come home
-parent politics: "you are taking your life in your hands / no, i'm putting it in yours" vs "i know well enough not to get involved when hes in play" both carson and ryan try to dissuade nancy from pursuing her pulling this con on everett but go about it different ways: carson is wildly concerned with nancys physical wellbeing but ryan appears to be leaning more towards weighing the odds for her/ like a "you cant win so cut your losses/dont try" scenario which interestingly might have more weight with nancy; its easy for her to brush aside carson's worrying like second nature but nancy has been established to be a determined winner, and ryan speaks to her here like shes a beginners luck prodigy at a blackjack table by encouraging her to keep her record clean by not dealing in this next round. of course she herself admits shes incapable of not dealing in ie "you know me better than that" but i have lots more thoughts on how effective ryans approaches to nancy can be sometimes (saving for the reveal ep 🙏🏻)
-wonder what all carson knows about the hudsons? + that look on his face when he hangs up... wonder if he was just lying to her about knowing anything or just ashamed at having to admit bad things hes done for them
-love nick & bashiir waiting together 🙏🏻💙+ nicks very strong and pointed "good night" as a means of ending his convo w nancy on his terms (gotta reinforce those boundaries man!)
and lastly
-celia + that gossip girl moment when she just throws the whole phone away 😂(wonder if she was just talking to "gus" or whoever that guy was. keep forgetting the bobbseys' dad is in prison too, wonder if he'll feature in s3)

@gowns tagged me for the 4 albums from the year you turned 14 meme:
What I actually listened to when I was 14 (aside from Ziggy-era David Bowie, obsessively):
Fastball: All the Pain Money Can Buy -- I didn't have this album but ofc taped their one-hit wonder “The Way” off the radio, and I genuinely do still love that song! I included Fastball on this list bc they were the very first concert I ever attended. Fastball and Marcy Playground opened for Everclear, but tbh I was only there for Marcy Playground (ugh, this premillennium tension aesthetique!). I wore my Johnny the Homicidal Maniac t-shirt to the show so other people there would know I was still COOL even though my mom was with me. At one point a mosh pit started nearby and my poor mom got kicked in the head outta nowhere... I still remember the visceral, torturous sense of longing I felt as she dragged me away from the crowd, completely pissed off. I just wanted to throw myself into the chaos and dance -- this was a REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE!!!, y’know? Mom found a plastic lawn chair and sat out the rest of the night, while I was allowed to go close to the crowd but not too far that she couldn’t see me. Man, I was butthurt about this show for ages and thinking back now as an adult, it’s like... actually pretty cool that she still chose to stay and let me see the rest of the show. Maybe she could tell how excited I was, how important it was for me to see these bands. Or maybe it was because Ticketbastard was nonrefundable, lol. Ooh, another side note: I've always photographed concerts, long before I decided to concentrate on being a “concert photographer,” and it’s funny in Today’s Modern World to remember the lengths I went to sneak cameras into different venues: hiding a point-n-shoot inside a bag of maxi pads in my bookbag, for example, or duct-taping a disposable camera to my upper inner thigh (where security didn’t touch during a pat-down, and which could be easily concealed within a JNCO jean pant). I think I still have some real shitty disposable camera pics of this show, taken from my vantage point a million miles away from the stage.
Marilyn Manson: Mechanical Animals -- I got into MM within a year or so of discovering Bowie. In fact, it was one of my Bowie internet penpals who first mailed me tape copies of her Manson CDs, Antichrist Superstar and Portrait of an American Family. I didn’t have headphones so I used to play the tapes on my little boombox with the volume turned way low and my ear pressed against the speaker. My parents weren’t necessarily shocked by the ~satanic~ imagery, but they wouldn’t’ve been happy about all the swearing (I have four younger siblings). At one point my dad made some comment about Marilyn Manson not being a big deal bc he’s just “a good businessman” who is only doing shock-rock; he wouldn’t do anything that wasn’t marketable. And of course I was outraged, like, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAAAAAND, he is an ARTIST!!! Shoulda listened to Dad; I might not’ve gotten so bent about the commodification of literally every subculture if I’d only paid better attention.
Orgy: Candyass -- The other day I heard WAP on the radio and I was like, lol, I’d hate to be the parent of a teenager today and have to deal with this song; but yes it was way cool/forbidden and edgy/awkward to tell my parents I was going to see a band called ORGY. They were my fave of all the nu-metal happening in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s. The alternative rock radio station used to host these $5 concerts and I wound up seeing a bunch of nu-metal bands just before they made it big (like Linkin Park, Crazy Town, the Union Underground). I wasn’t really a fan of any of these groups beyond their hit singles, but I craved the ROCK CONCERT experience of just being in a smoke-filled spooky club hangout with a few hundred sweaty strangers screaming, shoving, groping, kicking the shit out of each other... I didn’t really give a fuck what band was playing, I just wanted to BREAK STUFF
Placebo: Without You I'm Nothing -- This might have been the first album I bought with my own money. I got my first kiss from a boy in the mall parking lot, walking back to the trolley stop after buying this record (and shoplifting from Hot Topic, causing general havoc in the food court, etc.). The album as a whole turned out to be not as good as its first single, “Pure Morning,” but I still own the CD as a memento of that day.
Runner-up - Neutral Milk Hotel: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea -- I don't think I actually heard this record until 2001, because one of my high school bffs was a fan. She’s a year older than me and so back then, I felt like her musical taste was very mature and intellectual, almost aspirational -- not necessarily that I wanted to like all the same things she liked, but I admired that she had such varied eclectic tastes and this was a lil nudge of inspiration for me to consciously decide to give different artists a try beyond the first listen. It took a while for NMH to grow on me, tho -- the first time I heard them, I thought it was some boring whiny emo bullshit, and I didn’t revisit them much until I had actually been living in Athens a few years and had a roommate who had moved here because of Elephant 6 (I had absolutely zero knowledge of Athens’ place in music history prior to living here).
What I listen to now that came out in 1998 while I was too busy headbanging to pay attention:
Air: Moon Safari Massive Attack: Mezzanine Morcheeba: Big Calm The Orb: U.F.Off
I’m p sure my first listen for all of these records was 2004. This seems to be the year I return to the most when it comes to getting stuck on nostalgia. I listen to a lot of different stuff and I still pay attention to current music, but what I listened to when I was 20 is like the comfort food of my music collection. That year, I was having an obsession with all things electronica, which was likely triggered by the inclusion of Morcheeba’s “The Sea” on a mix given to me by a boy I had a massive crush on. I have often referred to that time as my best year, that age as my best self -- fire-apple red hair, a DIY darkroom in the basement, staying up all night in manic frenzies of zine-making with my very best love, drinking and fucking and having the occasional mostly-responsible hallucinogenic experience, working two jobs but naively vaguely hopeful that someday somehow maybe I wouldn’t have to be working two jobs to make ends meet (LOL), travelling alone to new cities on the greyhound to meet people from the internet, making crazy plans to throw everything away and move to New Orleans (almost made it...). I mean, it’s who I was before the big trauma, basically. I’m always desperately curious to know what would’ve become of that girl had she not gotten totally derailed at what seemed to be the zenith of adolescent experience. Anyway, tl;dr chillout is just easy listening for millennials, change my mind. I’ll tag @an-inconvenient-dandelion, @hthrloooo, @madmoths, @oo0ooo, & anyone else!

[Lamia-Bitty Daily Life!5]
{Entitled People/Entitled Parents}
Hello all my lovely Lamia lovers! I’m back with another story about people who suffer from acute stupidity and self entitlement! And the spawn they produce of course, we call them ‘entitled people’ or if they have kids ‘entitled parents’ an we all know how it goes when dealing with them.
First off let me tell you that I found out something interesting about my boys, I found Chip when he was injured and adopted Dante after. I came to a pleasant surprise both of them are Full Sized Lamia’s. I’m not complaining, Chip is the size of a loving house cat and Dante is the size of your standard dog [between Labrador or Spaniel]. An to me...that is heaven, they sorta miss being able to hide in my bra but Chip always likes to crawl under my shirt.
[Get your heads out of the gutter he does this for warmth and comfort]
They make the best cuddle buddies ever!
Reason I bring this up is its apart of the story, so like I said their Full Sized Lamia’s. Going out can be a bit more challenging now since their so big but lots of places allow Lamia’s as long as they’re miniature or at least 30in. I normally take them to my favorite restaurant but this particular day I had a surprise for them.
I called and had booked an appointment to have our pictures taken, a friend of mine works at a nice little studio. I gathered some nice clothes to change in an out of and some stuff for my boys, gag glasses and funny stuff for Chip and a few really nice things for Dante.
[I found the most cuties vests and ruffled shirts, one has this Cafe owner look while another screams European gentlemen EEE my dashing little Firering!]
So we get there and are taken to a changing room, I get Chip into something casual yet dressy. A nice short sleeve button down shirt with a dark blue jacket, you know the kind that casual bosses wear. I had Dante in the Cafe owner outfit, think Brewster from Animal Crossing new leaf. I got myself into a Pinafore with green clovers all over it and some white leggings underneath.
Now I’m lazy an I don’t do hair and makeup well, I keep my hair cut short in a inverted bob and wear little to no makeup. It was nice of my friend who have their stylist do my makeup.
[don’t know if he was flirting with me or just trying to make me feel good but he said ‘I can see why you don’t wear make up, you really don’t need it.’ ^///^]
So we pick our backdrops and everything and start taking pictures, my boys were just having so much fun, Chip enjoyed wearing his ‘Groucho’ glasses in some of them and Dante is a natural in front of a camera.
We just changed for a more serious ‘family portrait’ picture when a man walks in, behind him are his teenage daughter and his wife. They were dressed in very nice clothes and I assumed they were there for some kind of family picture, I refocused on trying to fix Chip’s shirt when all of a sudden...it started.
[our cast EF: Entitled Father, EM: Entitled Mother, ET: Entitled Teenager. The others are obvious]
EF: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR BOOKED?!
Receptionist: I’m sorry sir but like I said we are booked for today, our only opening is next week at 5pm if you-
EF: No, I came here to get my daughter her modeling pictures done and we’re going to get them done!
Now here’s where I start getting nervous, I wanted to grab my boys and run cause of my last experience with one. But I had to keep calm and just tried to focus on the picture, Chip is on my lap while Dante was behind me. He was hugging me while Chip rested his head on my chest, they were just trying to keep me calm. I couldn’t help but smile....
[An the photographer captured that moment an its now a picture I have]
She had just snapped a few more pictures of us in that pose when I noticed the mother, she was sauntering over to me.
EM: Excuse me [fake ass tone] when are you gonna be done, my daughter is going into modeling and we need to get some pictures done.
Me: ...I just have two more pic’s to do.
EM: Oh good!
She turned an I heard her mutter some comment about my weight, I may be chubby but at least I have my self respect. I take my boys into the changing room for our last set of pictures when I came out the teenage daughter had perched herself right where we were sitting for our pictures.
Photographer: Ma’am we’re still in the middle of a shoot please move.
ET: The cow left dingus just take the pictures!
I roll my eyes, obviously she was referring to me. I didn’t let the comment get to me, I turn to my friend and I’d wait till the little brat was gone.....then she spots my boys.
ET: Hey cow you done with those two?
Me: ...excuse me?
ET: Those two [points to those boys] you done with them, I’d like them to be in the pictures.
Me: No their ‘my’ pets, not props.
ET: Do I look like I give a f*ck?
Me: No you look like a spoiled whore who doesn’t know the value of hard work and only see’s modeling as a way to gain more attention for your already sad and miserable existence.
Needless today the room was so quiet a pin dropping would have sounded like an atomic bomb going off. My friend was holding back a laugh, I was getting impressed looks from everyone in the room, minus the parents of course. The father stormed over to me but before he could get close to me the photographer stopped him.
Photo: Sir you need to leave, if you don’t this studio will have no choice but to call the police and have you removed.
EF: No that bitch needs to leave!
Me: [gently pulls photographer back and whispers] I’ll leave for a lunch break, we’ll finish when they leave.
Photo: [nods]
I go into the changing room and get changed, my boys do to. We were heading for the exit but sure enough EF was blocking it.
EF: Where do you think your going?
Me: Out
EF: Not with them your not [he points to my boys.]
Now I’m at my wits end, I turn to the Receptionist and ask her to call the cops. She reaches for the phone and starts to dial, fake dialing of course.
EF: What the hell?!
He races to the Receptionist to stop her, I take the chance to escape with my boys. We got into my car just in time as EF starts chasing after us, of course I was already driving down the street by that time. My boys were frazzled but unharmed, this was the first time I ever seen Dante get so angry. He was in the back seat crackling up a storm while Chip was flicking his tail.
[he looks cute when he’s mad, arms crossed but when he starts gnashing his teeth...yeah..]
I settle them down by taking them to our favorite restaurant to cool off, it was practically empty so that was a plus. We sat there for an hour an drove down to a local bookstore an shopped for another hour, we drove back to the studio and thankfully the family from hell was gone. Turns out the police really had to be called, after our escape the father went mental and started yelling and even threw one of the more expensive camera’s breaking it.
We got the rest of our pictures taken in peace, ending on a high note another family came in with two small kids, they had booked their appointment and what made it cute was they had a 18month old boy, a 2 year old girl and a Papython!
I had to stay and watch, it was so freaking adorable! I talked with the parents and we bonded over our love of Lamia’s. They named their Lamia Scooter, the wife said they came up with that name cause when they went to adopt him he ‘scooted’ right up to them.
Sure had to run into some entitled people but at least it ended nice.
[For information on Lamia’s please contact @vex-bittys for adoptions]

just like dancing | hyunjin x reader
what’s up losers. this one goes out to @starhhj​ thanks for always hurting me so good <3
Tumblr media
just like dancing | hwang hyunjin x gender neutral reader wordcount: 4k inspired by: sidekick by walk the moon summary: meeting up with a photographer for a day of modelling turns into making a maybe forever friend.
ur a model
well. aspiring model.
ur instagram is a buncha pictures that u make ur friends take of you whenever y'all hang out
u have booked a couple photoshoots and submitted them to magazines
u even got published a couple times!!!!
not in anything big, just photography journals and portraiture mags
BUT IT'S SOMETHING!!!!
photoshoots are hella expensive tho fuckin. rip ur wallet
so u join a facebook group, which is something u never thought u would do
the idea was that aspiring photographers and aspiring models would meet up, get experience, and maybe make professional relationships
you? young and cute
all these photographers? 36 yr old dudes
they always invite you to their studios in their houses
to do artsy half nude shoots
so u were pretty unwilling to meet up with most of them
(understandable)
but then this one schmuck posts in the group, just when u so happen to be looking for weekend plans
“looking for a model this saturday, autumn themed shoot at han river. the leaves are really pretty right now, i wanna catch them before too many fall”
han river was a pretty public place, so u DEFINITELY felt safer
and like, ur school is pretty close to there, so ur familiar with the area
u comment “i'm free all day, give me a time and i'll meet you there”
after it posted, you clicked on his profile and
fuck
he was not 36
and he was CUTE
u freaked the fuck out
this kid looked like he was ur age. and he was hot.
should u delete the comment?
why would u do that?
bc ur nervous?
why are u nervous?
bc the photographer is a hottie?
is that really a good excuse?
before u could debate with urself much longer, ur comment received a like and u got a private message
hyunjin: hi! u look great! meet at the main gates of yeouido park at 9am?
“u look great!”
“U LOOK GREAT!”
(jooe sunbaenim is quaking)
screech
you: so early! okay! what kinda look are u going for?
hyunjin: haha i wanna get that fall morning light!!! i’d like it to be pretty autumnal. warm colors, maybe a sweater/scarf/jacket combo? if u have something like that. minimal makeup & hair, if you're into that stuff. hopefully that's all okay (^ム^)
you: sounds good! see you saturday!
you spend the next few days at school literally just thinking about how ur meeting up with a cutie on saturday
u rlly dont know what to do with urself
i show ur friend a pic of him and she's like “HOOYKY FUXKJGN GODJ”
which was basically your initial reaction too
but then shes like “he looks familiar??? is he a model too???”
u have literally no idea but it's completely possible
like, it's a waste to have that face exclusively behind the camera
and suddenly the two of u are like. obsessively going through his instagram bc WHAT THE FUCK he’s like….. REALLY GOOD
like, he does a lot of portraits, but the focus isn't necessarily always the person in the photo
the composition and background are just as important in every shot and it…. shakes u
there’s a few pictures of him too, all of which are v aesthetic
but how could they not be??? have u seen his face????
he also tags literally every person in his pictures whether they’re models or just his friends while they’re hanging out
and he photocreds everyone who takes pics of him!!
you are literally…. fallin’ in love
because he was cute and had a good eye and wrote cute captions and was so humble!!!
ur friend is like “wow we stan a pro”
“he looks seriously familiar tho, right?”
she's like “yeah i'm confused why have i seen his face before”
and ur shook bc like… if u had seen this boy irl there's no way you would forget how cute he is
finally,,, it's the weekend
you get on the train and head to han river early in the morning, dressed up and made up for your ~autumn photoshoot~
as soon as you get to the gates ur like.. holy fuck
it's so pretty
the leaves are a mix of orange and red and green and there's a couple dusting the ground too
no wonder hyunjin wanted to shoot here
ur kinda aimlessly wandering around the gate when u suddenly spot
him
he’s wearing a bomber jacket and has a camera bag over his shoulder
and his neck is literally at a 90° angle while he's looking at his phone
ur like…. that cant be ok
u get a notif while ur walking up to him and its a message from him asking if u were on ur way
“actually, i can't make it”
he looks up and immediately laughs. “hi! y/n?”
u wave. “hi hyunjin!! nice to meet you!!”
y'all exchange pleasantries and he's suddenly like
“your outfit is literally perfect” he steps back to look at u. “exactly what i had in mind”
u put up a peace sign. he laughs again.
uh oh
u really like his laugh
and his smile
and his everything
uh oh
he leads you further into the park where there's less people and more trees
“i brought another jacket and a couple of scarves in case u wanted something different” u say as he's helping you take off ur backpack
“oooooo a professional”
“not even”
he asks you if he can take a boomerang of u for his instagram story and u do a lil twirl
he gasps
“that was cute!!!!”
he giggles while he's posting it
what is with this kid and his giggles
u cant
if he keeps doin it at this rate, it'll probably be the death of u 
which is
cool
he puts your backpack on and pulls his camera out of his bag. “let's take some pics in this outfit and then i'll peek at the other options. i like this look a lot”
and then… he just starts taking pictures
u literally laugh
“where do you want me?”
“wherever,” he goes, checking the pics real fast. “i tend to go for candid shots”
suddenly,,, his entire instagram flashes in your brain
the pictures of people laughing and mid walk and reading books
u thought all the models were just. really comfy and professionals and shit
IT WAS ALL A LIE
“so uhhh…” u literally dont know what to do
u have Never done a shoot Like This
“just walk,” he said. “look around. i'll follow”
you: no fear
hyunjin: just walk
you: one fear
u nervously laugh again and he's hitting his shutter like A MILLION TIMES A SECOND
“okay…… i guess i'll walk then”
u push his shoulder while u walk past him bc he's cheesin at u way too hard for u to handle
“ow”
“that didn't hurt”
“it hurt my heart :(“
ur walking backwards and laughing and he's just. only looking at you through his camera.
so. u wander.
u take a lovely morning walk down the pretty paths at han river
u really were so scared that u would be completely directionless, but hyunjin ends up asking you to do specific things also
“go up on those rocks”
“i'm literally wearing slippery ass boots do you want me to die”
“do it for the shot, y/n”
sIGHHHHHH
so ur up on some rocks trying not to fall into a fucking river
and when hyunjin shows u the pics he takes….
okay
yeah
he was right
the entire time he was shooting, he would just strike up conversation to make you comfy
asking how long you've been pursuing modelling
if u wanna do it as a career or if its just a hobby
about ur family
about ur pets
(he asks a lot about pets)
ur sitting on a bench and he's crouched a few feet away to get those ~angles~ when he asks
“where do u go to school?”
“kyunggi”
hyunjin gasps. “no way! me too!”
you fuckin ALMOST DIE
because u fuckin brainblast and have a recovered memory of seeing hyunjin In Your School's Uniform in the lunchroom and suddenly IT ALL MAKES SENSE
you hop up from the bench and like. YELL.
“OKAY I THOUGHT YOU LOOKED REALLY FAMILIAR ARE YOU KIDDING”
he stands and literally screams and u are. so shocked. “i thought you looked really familiar too!!!! i figured i just had seen your pics on the facebook group!!!! i highkey stalked ur instagram bc i couldn't figure out where i knew you from!!”
okay, wig
he stalked you also which is….. great
“what year are you???”
“i'm a junior!”
you push him.
“boi what the fuck! me too!”
“no way!!!” he's laughing “that's crazy!”
he literally pulls out his phone and opens instagram
u have never seen a person use instagram stories as much as this bitch
like, he intermittently pulls out his phone to get shots for his story
u almost threw hands when u were sliding around on some stupid wet rocks bc he was like “JUMP AGAIN I NEED IT FOR A BOOMERANG”
he does this cute lil hair flip and adjusts his bangs before he starts recording and u…. kinda wanna cry
“I KNEW Y/N LOOKED FAMILIAR”
he spins so ur in the shot with him and puts his arm over your shoulders
“WE'RE LITERALLY IN THE SAME YEAR AT THE SAME SCHOOL”
u laugh out loud
he laughs with you and u have to cover ur mouth so an uwu doesn't fall out
u try not to focus on his literally perfect eye smile as he hunches over his phone to post to his story
like,,,
those crescents
are so cute
and he has this lingering grin every time he laughs
and like. wow. lips. amirite. ladies and gents.
“i cant believe u go to kyunggi,” u say. bc u cant.
“what are the odds. out of all the people in that group, we end up meeting up”
u almost made a joke about it being destiny but then u were like oo no thats creepy dont say that
then hyunjins gasps
and u look at him
and he just looks at you wide eyed
and fucking
whispers
“destiny”
you scream laugh
he's laughing too
but on a real level ur like why would that have been super creepy if u said it but it was cute as hell (and a little heart fluttery) when he did?
he goes on saying it's crazy that you had never had any classes together over the years
“or any clubs,” u said
“yeah!!! what clubs do you do??”
“photography! which is why i'm shocked!!!”
hyunjin gasps again
wtf is up with this boy and his gasps
“i was gonna do photography but they meet the same days as dance!”
BITCH
WHAT THE FUCK
“I DONT DO DANCE BC THEY MEET THE SAME DAYS AS PHOTOGRAPHY”
his entire jaw drops off his damn face
“YOU DANCE TOO?”
“I’M JUST AS SHOCKED AS YOU ARE”
u literally can't believe
“we've been barely missing each other all this time when we could have been best friends :(“
oh ow
ouch hyunjin
that got u right in ur weak heart
like literally u might have a heart condition now bc he just hit u with the “we could have been best friends”
“sorry i already have a best friend”
DGDGSH WHY DID YOU SAY THAT
then he's laughing and ur like… oh fuck wheew
“well, sorry, i'm replacing them now. we have to catch up on lost time.”
and honestly………. he's right
number 1: y'all are both photography nerds
even tho you have begun to skew on the modelling side of it, u always loved taking pictures of scenery and u knew way too much about how cameras worked
and hyunjin really was like a pro
u had watched him adjust settings on his camera for white balance and exposure and everything
and judging by his instagram, he set himself up for some flawless editing too
number 2: y'all are both dance nerds
he tells u basically all his friends are in the dance club and have formed a lil dance crew bc of it
u say u used to take classes when u were younger but now u just go to the gym and hide in a practice room for a few hours every week
he does hip hop! which is so predictable but u still act all surprised
u tell him u used to do ballet but ur much more into urban dance these days
number 3: y'all both don't know how to stop laughing
like literally if either of you do anything remotely funny the other one is fucked for five minutes
ur pretty sure 90% of the pics hyunjin was taking were of you covering your face because ur literally GUFFAWING
and like, y'all ain't even that funny
but the more you laugh the less funny shit has to be for you to be crying
hyunjin told u to stop making him laugh bc his fingers were getting weak and he didnt wanna drop his camera
you, trying not to giggle: its ok u have a strap around ur neck u can drop it
hyunjin, tears flowing freely: PLEASE LET ME BREATHE
number 4: y'all both LOVE UR PETS
like idk man he tells u about kkami and u freak the fuck out because he's just SO EXCITED ABT HIS PUP
and hyunjin almost ditches u right then n there when u say ur more of a cat person BUT he forgives u because ur cat is literally named hot dog
this is highkey the most fun you've ever had on a shoot
like, you feel so comfortable with hyunjin
and every time you take breaks to peek at the pictures he's been taking
u like … literally stop breathing
he's so talented ;;
you eventually swap jackets and scarves and wander around more
and literal hours later hyunjin's like
“are u hungry”
u stare. “always”
he laughs. “do you wanna go to the convenience store and make ramen”
“i thought you'd never ask”
so y'all go to the conbini and pick out ya fave ramen packets
(and some chips and candy bc u have literally no self control)
hyunjin really tries to buy your food for you but you yell at him while ur checking out bc Boi. No.
the cashier: watched the two of you look at food and bump into each other constantly, touching each others arms and giggling the whole time
you: leave me the fuck alone hwang hyunjin or i'm calling the cops!!!
the cashier: ????????
u make ur ramen at the handy dandy hot water dispenser and carefully bring it back to a seating area in the park
“be careful it's hot!!!”
“hyunjin please, u act like i'm not a ramen pro”
“i just didnt want u to burn ur cute lil mouth, damn”
ur entire being goes WEE WOO WEE WOO
u literally almost choke on nothing and you just cough to try to play it off
hyunjin is having none of it
he's laughing his ass off
“wow that got you better than i expected”
“fuck off hwang”
he stands up to leave and u laugh and grab his sleeve
he's giggling before he even sits again
y'all eat ur ramen and chat more about school and hobbies
he tells u about this one time he almost got admitted into a cult
you: wow… pretty AND dumb
hyunjin, flustered: h-hey!
you tell him about how your cat is a rescue and his heart melts
there's a minute where you're staring at nothing in the distance eating chips
and hyunjin is just staring at you
his brain: hoe dont do it
his heart: doki doki
his brain: oh my god
“hey… are you still free all day?”
u look at him. “yeah, why?”
he opens a bag of gummies. “i'm supposed to meet up with some friends to go bowling in like an hour but i wanna keep hanging out. wanna come?”
you groan. “i'm so bad at bowling”
“we can be on a team,” he offers you a gummy bear and you take it. “i'll carry you.”
pls explain why an image of him holding you bridal style popped into ur head sgdhhf
“haha okay. as long as ur friends aren't lame.”
“they are, but i'll be there so it's fine”
“fair enough. i'm in.”
so y'all hop on a bus and head to the bowling alley that (apparently) hyunjin and his buddies frequent
(he's playing pickles with you in the back of the bus and you're giggling so hard that ur struggling to tell him to cut it the fuck out so you don't disturb the people sitting next to you)
((but also feeling his entire body press against you isn't the worst))
you've been to this bowling alley before
it's popular among younger folks because it's cheap lol
the two of you walk in and one of his friends immediately starts yelling
u freeze “dude i thought u said we were gonna be early”
he looked at his phone “we literally are”
this blonde kid is yelling hyunjin's name and ur wide eyed while u follow
“UR LATE”
“I'M NOT”
“IT'S 2:20”
“WE SAID 2:30!!!”
“TELL THAT TO LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP AT TWO!!!!!”
hyunjin looks over to the group of his friends already bowling a game “oh”
u bust out laughing
hyunjin gets all flustered like “i-i thought it was 2:30!!!”
“who's ur friend, my perpetually late son”
“o-oh,,, this is y/n”
his friend sticks out his hand for you to shake. “hi, i'm chan. were you the model today?”
you grin “are you saying i look like a model?”
“OKAY!” hyunjin grabs your shoulders and you giggle when chan stutters without responding while hyunjin drags you to the counter to rent shoes and pay for a game
hyunjin is: flustered
he's all embarrassed because he was late and got yelled at by his fake dad
and then u went and,,,, u were so smooth with chan
he wondered if you had been flirting with him all morning because you actually liked him or,,, ur just a flirt
he grabbed your wallet out of your hand and shoved it in his pocket so that he could pay for your shoes and game for you.
“hyunjin!!!!!”
“you wouldn't let me buy you food and you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me if you argue i swear i'll throw you down a lane”
you pout but you let him pay
and ur heart,,, it goes off, dude
like,,,, maybe,,,,,,, u would let him throw you sgdgshsh
y'all walk over to the lane his friends are on, bowling shoes in hand
“y/n!”
your face lights tf up. “seungmin!!”
hyunjin looks between the two of you probably six times while you hug before finally going “w-what”
you and seungmin look at each other, then at hyunjin
hyunjin: you know each other
you and seungmin, in sync: photography club
hyunjin: alright, well,
he announces to everyone your name and you were his new best friend and that if any of them had a problem with it they could talk to his fist
you, softly, but with feeling: f-fuck
y'all change your shoes and watch as his friends finish up their game
while they play, hyunjin points each person out and tells you their name, helping you learn all these new people
since u guys were twenty (20) minutes late, they were already almost done with the first game
they were all pretty good. 
well. most of them were.
the guy hyunjin pointed out as jisung kept getting gutter, but he was having fun
everyone else kept getting strikes or spares and u were like oh god
you keep telling hyunjin that ur really bad at bowling
hyunjin: i'll teach you. it'll be like ghost.
you, softly, but with more feeling: f-fUck
you, realization washing over you: wait how would you even-
hyunjin: *giggles*
hyunjin's giggles.
send tweet.
the entire time you were entirely too conscious of how close he was to you
you could feel the burning on your shoulder, thigh, knee - all the contact points where his body bumped into yours
your knee bobbed involuntarily while you watched the game end, nervously anticipating your turn to hit the gutter
and suddenly, hyunjin's hand was gently placed on your knee
it stopped bobbing
you looked at his hand, then at him
he smiled, but kept looking forward
“relax. even if you're bad, i'll hype you up.”
it was barely above a whisper so you wondered for a sec if he was even talking to you
hhhhHHHHH THIS BOY
yall start bowling.
he was. not all talk.
like who the fuck is good at bowling
hyunjin, apparently
he fuckin. chucked that ball down the lane
it made a smooth curve and took out. every. pin.
you stared at the empty lane in disbelief as hyunjin got a couple high fives from his friends making his way towards you
"not bad, right?"
"bro what the fuck"
he laughed and held out a hand to help you up "we bowl a lot"
you didnt even process fully that he was pulling you out of your seat because it was your turn. 
ur hands: sweaty
ur arms: spaghetti
ur vomit: on ur sweater already
not actually
u picked up the ball hyunjin had helped you pick and looked at him like a deer in headlights
"bro i havent bowled since i was six"
he giggled. "you can do this"
he walked with u and showed you his starting stance, gently adjusting the way your wrists twisted and patting your hip
u. tried to not blush. no word on how well you did.
he guided you through your walk up and when u let go of the ball..
……
YOU DIDNT HIT GUTTER
you SCREAMED 
"BRO I HIT A PIN!!!!!!!!!!!!"
hyunjin gave you a Sick High Ten, laughing "now you gotta hit the other nine!"
you froze
fuck
the others were starting to calm down from the excitement of your first half-frame, anticipating your second hit
you watched your ball return from the lane n went over to grab it
hyunjin looked at you Once and was likr….. is that caspar the ghost
the color had DRAINED from you
u…. u hit a pin…… thats like the best u've ever done
n now you gotta TOP THAT?
"its like dancing," he said suddenly. u looked at him, desperate to hear advice in terms u understood. "even if you can go through the motions, it doesnt necessarily make you good. you have to trust your body to remember the motions, give it a little finesse, and that's when you start to get Really good."
you blinked at him
"was that supposed to be helpful"
"can you Shut the Fuck Up and Bowl"
you took a deep breath, adjusting your stance as hyunjin reminded you of the steps you needed to take
another breath
steps
swing
let go…..
roollllingngg…………
*HIGH PITCHED WAILING*
"I HIT FOUR PINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
hyunjin scoops u up in a hug, spinning you around
ur too busy SCREAMING to register whats happening until he puts you down
u stare at him a second
he stares at you
"GOOD JOB Y/N!!!!!"
you turn to seungmin, who also scoops you into a hug, the rest of the boys crowding around you
you didnt even have a chance to be embarrassed about the weird eye contact you n hyunjin made
or about how. everyone in the bowling alley was staring at you guys.
because like…… suddenly
you just made a bunch of new friends
and one of them
helped you hit a pin for the first time.
and maybe….
he was still holding your hand
and maybe that felt really nice.

nobody knows where we might end up, chapter nine (branjie) - holtzmanns
(read on ao3) | (tumblr) | word count: 4417
AN: Thank you for all the wonderful feedback on the last chapter! I appreciate it so, so, much, comments make my heart incredibly full. Thank you writ for being a wonderful beta as always <3
(then)
“Gonna miss you.” Vanessa’s voice is soft from where her head is resting on Brooke’s lap, and it makes Brooke absolutely melt.
“I’m gonna miss you too, Ness.” Brooke runs her fingers through Vanessa’s hair, an action that makes Vanessa snuggle into her and let out a contented sigh. She wishes that she didn’t have to let her go.
“Just a long weekend, though. Then you’ll be back.” Vanessa beams up at her. “I’m excited for it already.”
Brooke can’t help but grin back, because Vanessa’s smile remains the cutest thing in the world to her. “You sap. Me neither. My cousin’s wedding will be over and done with before we know it.”
“Send me hot pictures of you in your fancy dress for the wedding.”
Brooke wrinkles her nose. “Are you kidding? My mom’s probably picked something out already that’ll be appropriate for a church wedding. It’s not going to be hot in the least.”
“You’re always hot to me. Even in your little church dress.” Vanessa wiggles her eyebrows at her and Brooke can’t help but poke her shoulder.
“Shut up.”
Vanessa sticks her tongue out at her. “Make me.”
“Have you forgotten I know exactly where you’re ticklish?” Vanessa’s off of Brooke’s lap the second that the words leave her lips.
“Don’t you even think about it!” Vanessa shrieks and moves to Detox’s side of the room, flopping onto her bed.
Brooke rolls off of her bed too, wrapping Vanessa in a hug instead. “I won’t use my powers for evil for now, at least.”
Vanessa pouts up at her from her position. “I still can’t believe you don’t get ticklish.”
“My superpower.” Brooke grins, though it quickly turns into a frown when her alarm clock goes. “Shit. That was the alarm I set to catch my bus.”
Vanessa’s arms tighten around her waist. “Don’t leave.”
“I wish you could come with me, somehow.” Brooke sighs, hugging Vanessa tighter too. Vanessa’s so good at calming her down by just being in her presence, making her feel like things are going to always be okay.
“Me too. Shut that damn beeping off, though.” Vanessa’s voice is muffled into her sweater, face buried in the hug, and Brooke snorts. She lets go, tugs Vanessa along so she can turn off the alarm on her bedside table.
“I gotta go.”
Vanessa stretches on her tiptoes, kisses her. “Don’t miss me too much.”
Brooke snorts. “Please. You’ll miss me more.” Though she can’t deny that she will, even if it’s just for four days. God, they’re already too codependent on each other. Brooke would consider it a problem if she didn’t enjoy it so much.
The bus ride is simultaneously too long and not long enough, knowing that the destination is just bringing her closer to the weekend. Brooke wishes she could just fast forward to Monday, when she’s going to be back at uni and back in her dorm. With Vanessa, with the rest of their friends.
She stumbles off of the bus with suitcase in tow, intent on walking the rest of the way home. She hadn’t wanted to ask anyone from her family to pick her up - it would just have been an awkward car ride, anyway. She’s going to get enough uncomfortable family moments this weekend as it is.
The front door opens when she reaches the entrance, making her raised hand fall down on its own before she can even knock.
“Mom?”
“You’re late. Come set the table, it’s almost dinner.” Her mom snaps the words at her, turning on her heel.
Welcome home, indeed.
The four pale pink walls of Brooke’s childhood bedroom had once acted as her getaway. She would lie on her bed as a kid, her mind dreaming up different scenarios of being a famous ballerina, a knight with a pet dragon, an astronaut. Somewhere where she was powerful, in control of everything around her and also loved. She’d always have her happy ending, get to kiss the princess before her young brain even knew it was considered wrong by some.
The walls are suffocating her now, two days into her stay. The room is a memory of the way she’d try to cry as softly as she could as a kid, trying not to make any noise into her pillow. The way she’d pop painkillers to numb the ache in her muscles from overuse, ballet wearing down her body too fast for someone who hadn’t been fully grown. The way she’d squeeze her eyes shut tight, ignoring the arguments that she could still hear no matter how hard she tried to block them with her dreams of prettier stories than her own.
Being back here feels like the walls are pushing down on her, closing her up in a box that had succeeded in containing her for eighteen years. Except now she’s had a taste of life outside of the box, and she never ever wants to come back.
Her Blackberry beeps and she picks it up from its spot on her pillow, and can’t help but smile when she sees that it’s a text from Vanessa. She can almost imagine the other girl lying on her bed, pink Motorola RAZR phone in both hands as she types faster than Brooke ever could.
VM: my mom got the pics from Christmas developed!!!!
VM: look at my wack ass fam
The picture is absolutely chaotic, everyone in the group smiling, laughing, or, in Vanessa’s case, yelling at the person taking the photo. They’re all in colourful ugly Christmas sweaters, some with Santa hats, some with reindeer ears.
VM: my mami’s the one wearing the fake Santa beard LOL
BLH: Oh my god. You look just like her.
The woman beside Vanessa in the photo really does look like an adult Vanessa, though with hair that is a few shades lighter. She has an arm around Vanessa who looks tiny beside her, their oversized sweaters nearly taking them over.
BLH: Who else is who?
VM: well, there’s julio, my brother, he’s the one wearing the dumbass elf hat. my abuela, then my tía rosa, her husband enrique, my tío pablo and his husband luis, my tía carmen, my cousins maria and isaac and isabella and daniela and alex. and riley my pup!!!
BLH: Your family is huge, omg.
VM: not even all of them. these are just the ones who could make it to christmas dinner
The photo makes Vanessa’s house look so fun, so welcome, so opening and inviting. Brooke zooms in on the photo, looks at their individual faces that look like they’re having a blast.
BLH: Wait, did you say your uncle and his husband?
VM: yeah they’re married!! caused a big drama when tío pablo brought him home the first time but now everyone loves him and their wedding was the best. and my mami wasn’t as mad when i came out to her lol  
BLH: you’re out to her?
VM: yeah!!! a couple years ago i came out she cried for two days then got over it lol
Wow. Brooke’s wondering why they’ve never had this conversation before. Brooke knows that Vanessa senses her discomfort around talking about her own family, and tactfully doesn’t ask her much. Vanessa always talks about her own, though, recounting her constant bickering with her brother and her mom’s trash talking at the wheel.
BLH: Wow. That’s great, though.
VM: ya, she still wants grandkids tho
VM: says riley doesn’t count >:(
BLH: LOL. He is the biggest furriest baby there is.
Brooke pets Henry absentmindedly, burying her fingers into his soft fur as he purrs. He’s curled up on the pillow beside her, Apollo resting on her desk chair. Henry and Apollo are the two things that she doesn’t mind about visiting home. She opens the picture from Vanessa again, looking at all of the happy and smiling faces. Looks at her married uncles. It’s a contrast from the family portraits that line the walls in Brooke’s house, ones of her and her parents sitting stone faced, looking poised. Nothing short of practiced and perfect, matching their vibes during the holidays. Quiet, tense dinners, a cloak for the screaming arguments in the late evenings that her parents would get into after having too much to drink and needing to release their pent up resentment towards each other, only to go back to clipped tones the next day, as if nothing had happened.
The longing in her chest is tangible, a woven rope that makes her want to jump into the picture and have a family like Vanessa’s, one so big and full of life.
Brooke looks at the way that Vanessa’s grandmother’s arm is wrapped around her uncle’s waist and hugging her son close, and the way that Vanessa is curled into her mom’s side. Brooke wonders if Vanessa has mentioned her to her mom, talked about them at Christmas break. If Vanessa used to mention her past girlfriends, giggle about her dates with her mom.
Would her parents be the same way, if she came out to them, equally supportive and loving? Does she have to? Is she fake if she doesn’t?
She doesn’t want to. Facing their inevitable disappointed expressions, echoing the homilies they’ve heard at Mass about how being gay is wrong, how it means you’re a sinner. How you can’t go to heaven and thus can’t be a good person, if you’re gay.
Do her parents believe that? Would her parents hate her?
How could they, though? Would they hate Vanessa too, someone so sweet and funny and smart and utterly wonderful, just because of preconceptions that they have about her?
She wants a family like Vanessa’s, wants it so, so bad. Wants a house that is loud and full of laughter and ugly Christmas sweaters and one where she can bring her girlfriend home to. One where she’d be able to talk to her mom about anything and everything, where her mom would give her advice and actually give her the time of day.
Brooke’s fine on her own, in her room. She is. She just wants more. Wishes that she had it more than anything in the world.
(now)
“Vanessa. Please.”
Brooke bangs her fist on the door one, two, three times, the door an unmoving barrier that won’t budge as she ignores the patients, nurses, doctors, and technicians that pass by in the hall, because nothing else matters right now. She needs to talk and explain things, find out what made Vanessa push her away and look at her with an expression of horror and confusion alike, because she doesn’t know. It’s replaying in her brain a million times over, chipping away at her insides and she can feel her foundations start to crack, on the route to crumbling if she doesn’t find out.
Maybe it was the nickname.
Who was Brooke to even call her ‘Nessa’? A pet name that’s so laden with softness and memories of them from when they were so much younger. Of course Vanessa hadn’t wanted to hear it, they’re different now and they don’t do this and they’ve both moved on. They’re adults, two adults having sex. Nothing more.
She’s so stupid. She’s slipped up and ruined everything.
“Please, just talk to me.” Brooke never begs, she doesn’t. But right now she can’t help it as the words leave her lips sounding desperate and broken, ruining any illusion she’s ever wanted to portray of having her shit together. Any semblance of a carefully constructed persona that she carries around with her around the hospital is melting away, because all she can think of is Vanessa on the other side of the door.
The door doesn’t open.
Maybe it had been the way she’d pulled Vanessa in for a kiss after the consultation meeting. Maybe Vanessa had wanted to tell her that they were done, that she wanted to end whatever she fuck they were doing. And then Brooke had gone and kissed her, made everything worse. Made Vanessa firm in her decision.
She’s a fucking idiot.
Vanessa could probably sense it, all of it. The way that Brooke still fucking feels it, wants more than just sex no matter how much she tries to convince herself that she doesn’t. She hates it.  
Brooke’s tried, the last few days. Attempted to hide her disappointment when Vanessa had to cancel meetings with her when the cardiac units got busy. Held her face back from displaying too much when Yvie had asked her about Vanessa and how they hadn’t seemed to be fighting for the first time in awhile. Brooke’s tried to forget the feeling of Vanessa’s face buried in the crook of her neck, arms gripping onto her like she’s a precious metal, because she’s not Brooke’s to cherish.
This is why she never does these…things. Doesn’t date anymore, stays far away from anyone that could make her feel more than she should. She doesn’t need it, doesn’t need the connection that feels so good, so right in the moment before shattering her into pieces when it ends. It ruins everything.
And now here she is, hung up over an ex from more than a decade ago, someone who’s been happily over it for just as long, leaving Brooke a fucking mess and banging on a door that she knows won’t open.
Stupid.
Brooke watches as her own fist drops from the door, slides down the smooth surface until it’s resting at her side. The telltale numbness that is activated by her brain when she’s feeling too much begins to spread over her heart, her soul. It glazes over the shame, the embarrassment, the rejection, the longing for someone who she shouldn’t be hung up over in the first place. The grey cloud is enough to numb everything, leaving a bulletproof blank slate that is impossible to get through from the outside.
She doesn’t need anything, or anyone. She’s learned that enough.  
And so she turns on her heel, and she leaves.
Brooke does the only thing that she knows how to do when she needs to drown out her thoughts, shut her brain off to avoid the feelings that she doesn’t want to feel - she turns to her work. She takes on more patient referrals than she usually would, filling up her schedule with procedures that require her full attention for hours upon hours.
The work is methodical, routines that she’s followed a thousand times in her career. Cuts from her scalpel, the buzz of the bone saw, beeps sounding throughout the OR as she directs her team, working together like a miniature ecosystem. Patients that survive, others on the brink of death who pull back because Brooke refuses to sit down until they’re stable.
Other patients that die on the table and take a piece of Brooke with them when they go.
If her team notices any changes, they say nothing. She doesn’t care, she’s not here for them.
She’s here for work.
The interns piss her off more than usual, making stupid mistakes that are reflective of any medical student, but right now they’re so careless and messing with Brooke’s work, and so what if she yells at them more than she normally does? It makes her feel better afterwards.
It doesn’t stop her from escaping Nina’s scrutinizing gaze, though, her best friend looking equal parts done and worried as they sit in her office at the end of the day.
“I’ve had three interns email me today about how they can’t work in, and I quote, ‘unsafe work practices’.” Nina looks as if she’s staving off approximately three headaches at once, and Brooke would feel bad if they interns didn’t deserve it.
Brooke takes a sip of the wine that Nina’s poured for her. “Not my fault that they can’t handle the rigorous workload of being on the neuro units.” If they want to work with the best, they need to be the best.
She doesn’t need to put up with interns that forget simple suture techniques, or ones that don’t come prepared with answers to the questions that Brooke throws at them. How else are they going to become surgeons?
“Except this is new, Brooke, and you know it. You’re normally a bitch, but a fair one, which is how you’re good with the interns most of the time. But from what they’ve told me now, it sounds like you’re just being plain mean to them.” Nina tugs her glasses off, puts them on the desk before rubbing her temples.
Brooke shrugs. “They shouldn’t be in surgery if they can’t handle it.”
“No, you’re taking your frustrations out on them. Which I get, but also you’re going to scare all of them away, and the teaching component of this hospital is incredibly vital, and so we need to keep all of these baby doctors without you making them run with their tails between their legs before they can even reach residency.”
Brooke crosses her arms. “They’re shit baby doctors.”
“That’s a lie, and you know it.” Nina looks up at her, really looks up at her, and it makes Brooke shrink in her seat. Nina’s the only one in the hospital who can actually make her do so. “What on earth is up with you?”
Brooke shrugs. “It doesn’t matter.” It doesn’t, she’s dealing. She’s not going to let Vanessa affect her.
Nina sighs. “Brooke…”
“Anyway.” Brooke leans forward in her seat, rests her elbows on Nina’s desk. Ignores Nina’s pointed look at her. “You still haven’t told me about the date with Ryan you had last week. You promised me the details.”
It’s a distraction tactic, a flimsy one at best, but it does the job, Nina’s face lighting up at the mention of her new boyfriend. “Well, he said to dress fancy, but not too fancy, right?”
Brooke nods as she listens to Nina’s excited rambling, the woman at times as easy to redirect as a four year old. The subject is much more palatable than her own fucked up love life - not that she even has one.
The shot of tequila creates a smooth burn down the back of Brooke’s throat, the subsequent salt and lime not enough to drown out the overbearing noise that is forever present at Ralph’s. Brooke gestures to the bartender for another shot as Yvie, Scarlet and other members of the neurosurgery team toast to Plastique.
“Happy birthday, bitch!” Yvie yells the words as she slams down her empty shot glass. “May this be the year that you’re finally not carded.”
“That’ll probably be never. Everyone thinks I’m twelve years old anyway.” Plastique sighs. “Last week an attending asked me if I needed help finding my family - he thought I was a patient’s kid or something.”
Brooke can’t help the laugh that bubbles in her throat, something that Plastique immediately catches. “Don’t you start.”
Brooke has to cover her mouth. “Sorry, it’s just hilarious. We have a tween on the neuro team.” She cant help but fully crack up after making eye contact with Yvie.
Plastique pouts. “That’s Dr. Edwards to you. I’m a resident, damn it.”
“A twelve year old resident? Child prodigies are truly so impressive.” Yvie grins, patting Plastique’s arm.
“You’re all the worst. The absolute worst.”
“And yet,” Yvie shrugs, “you love us.”
Plastique grins. “Can’t deny that. Even if you all are pretty much considered elderly at this point.”
“Careful, or I’m gonna run you over with my walker.” Yvie pokes Plastique’s side, which makes her yelp and poke Yvie right back.
Brooke snorts. She loves her team, or at least, parts of it. She didn’t want to come out tonight, before being dragged out of her apartment by Yvie and Scarlet (a running theme recently, the two of them refusing to let her rest for even five seconds), but now she’s not so upset that she has.
Plastique, the newest member of neurosurgery who had started as a resident only a few months ago, already fits in well with the group. Brooke’s glad that she has friends that are at her level - or rather, close to her level, since she does outrank them all as the head of neurosurgery. Ones who she can discuss difficult cases and current research with, topics that someone who doesn’t work in a hospital would be utterly confused about. It reminds her of undergrad, when her and Vanessa would-
No. Not happening. She’s not thinking about that.
The bartender slides over the other shot that she’s ordered, and Brooke downs it without so much as a wince. The tequila and lime and salt are tangible, existing sensations that help to draw her out of her head, from the clutches of memories and regrets that never seem to leave her alone anymore.
“Slow down, B.” Yvie tilts her head, brow furrowed. “We got here like, ten minutes ago.”
Brooke shrugs. “Getting a head start, that’s all.” She’s gonna need all the alcohol that she can get on her first night out in awhile.
She’s been coming in early, staying late, overworking herself to shut off her mind, though it hasn’t been working as well as she wants it to. Vanessa’s smile. Vanessa’s moans underneath her. The furrow in Vanessa’s brow ever present in their past meetings. The way Vanessa had pushed her away the last time in the conference room. The way Vanessa hadn’t opened the door, effectively letting her know that she wasn’t interested. Wanted it to end.
Brooke gets it, really does. Though her heart fucking doesn’t, replaying the moment over and over again since it happened, the knife in her heart twisting more and more every time.
She needs to get a grip.
The alcohol flowing in her system is no help, making the conversations that are happening around her louder, the lights brighter, sensations that are exacerbating the very thoughts that she wants to drown out.
Scarlet pulls out a cupcake, because, being Scarlet, she had picked one up earlier for Plastique’s birthday. Plastique squeals (‘you got double chocolate!’) , pulling Scarlet into a hug. Brooke lets out a surprised yelp when she tugs the rest of them in, too, nearly falling off of her stool.
She peeks over Yvie’s shoulder while still in the hug before her heart drops in her chest, and she wants to close her eyes so that she doesn’t have to register who has just sit down at the other end of the bar.
Vanessa.
It seems that Brooke can’t come to Ralph’s without seeing her anymore.
Brooke can’t tear her eyes away, unable to pull her gaze from the other surgeon in a tan jumpsuit and with waves cascading down her back. She’s laughing, making enough noise with the cardiothoracic surgeons that Brooke has to wonder how she didn’t spot her as soon as she had walked in.
Vanessa flags down the bartender, batting her eyelids and tilting her head and from the way that the female bartender leans on the counter, flirts back, Brooke knows that it’s going to be on the house.  
The knife in her chest twists a little bit more, hitting a few more veins, making a few more cuts. Not that it matters.
Brooke is a sucker for punishment, a real lover of making herself feel like shit because she can’t help the way that her eyes drag back towards Vanessa every couple minutes. She looks so carefree and happy, joking around with the other cardiac doctors and does she have her arm around the waist of one of them?
Vanessa’s so good at making herself at home, no matter the situation that she’s in. She’d been the same way back when they were in school, and Brooke can see that nothing’s changed. She’s like a flame burning bright, drawing everyone in towards her like moths that are mesmerized by her light. Her smiles light up her entire face, and Brooke has to ignore the incessant pangs in her stomach reminding her that she’s not the one who is causing them.
Vanessa’s fine. Vanessa gets through things, Brooke can see that. She can emerge unscathed and continue to shine, continue to climb up, up, up. She’s not haunted by regrets or things from her past. She knows when to cut off thorns that wrap around her limbs and try to bring her down. Ones like Brooke.
Brooke gets it. Maybe she deserves it. Because Vanessa clearly knows what she wants, and knows that she deserves better. Someone more than Brooke, who can give her love and light and not dysfunction and vicious cycles that only seem to end in destruction.  
Brooke can’t hold Vanessa back anymore. Maybe she’s not meant for it, for anything that can crack her heart open. She had been doing so well, keeping things casual with a few women. No strings attached, no possibility of feelings being developed if she never learned their full names or anything about them. No attachments had meant no chance of those attachments being ripped from her.
Maybe that’s what she should go back to. Maybe it’s the only thing that she deserves now.
There’s no angel whispering in Brooke’s ear to stop her from going to chat up a girl (a nurse? a unit clerk?) towards the end of the night a few hours later, one whom she’s fucked before and is always willing for some time in the on call room. Perhaps there’s a little tug in her chest whispering that this girl isn’t Vanessa, won’t ever live up to Vanessa, but she ignores it. Because Vanessa isn’t hers, never will be hers, not anymore. Not for the last eleven years.
Maybe some quick fucks are all that Brooke is going to get now. She used to be happy with it, encouraged it even, before Vanessa walked into the hospital on her first day and disrupted her carefully crafted life and left her to salvage the broken pieces.
And salvage she will. Brooke can go back to it, because it’s what worked, it’s what she deserves. She doesn’t have Vanessa anymore.
Brooke doesn’t look up as she leaves to see if Vanessa notices her walk by, her hand on the girl’s back guiding her outside to a waiting Uber. She doesn’t care. She doesn’t. She can go back to her routine, back to not caring, not getting invested. Vanessa isn’t her problem anymore.

The Purge
Pairing: Ramsay Bolton x Lily Bolton // Words:2416  // Ao3 Link
Summary: Written as a sequel to You Made Me. This modern day story is about Ramsay and Lily Bolton's descendant, Royce Bolton, as he spins a tale of one particular night that would change everything for the Bolton family.
Tumblr media
Students gathered in a tight-knit group in the middle of the parking lot. Mrs. Easton’s first year of teaching history at North Hill High School was going really well. She had become a fast favorite among students with her interesting takes on history. Today, she brought them to a historical monument for Halloween for a spooky story or two.
“Royce! It’s good to see you!” Mrs. Easton said, all smiles. She tipped her red-rimmed glasses and Royce tipped his black rimmed ones. A common greeting between two history major alumni from Westeros University.
“Good to see you too, Layne!” they embraced as old friends do. “Is this your class?”
“It is!”
“They look like a good group of kids,” Royce put his hands on his hips. “Hate to scare them.”
“Not everyone has ancestry of awful, scary people,” Layne laughed. She turned her attention to her kids. “Every gather ‘round! I want you to meet a good friend of mine. This is Royce. He owns the Dreadfort.”
“Uh uh. My father owns the Dreadfort. I’m just the history nerd of this place.”
“I heard serial killers lived here!” one of the teens shouted.
“Quite a few actually,” Royce Bolton laughed. “Shall we begin? I’m sure my ancestors would love to meet you all.”
“Whoa wait, is this pace haunted?” a girl asked.
“Paige, that’s not—
“It’s alright, Layne.” Royce took over. “There are a few ghosts that haunt The Dreadfort, but before we go in let me ask you guys some questions. What do you know about the Dreadfort?” One teen raised his hand.
“A lot of people died here at the hands of one of your uh, ancestors.”
“Nah dude. He ain’t even human,” his friend cut in. “I watched a youtube video about this dude. He was an animal.”
Royce clapped his hands and laughed. “Careful, he’s my great, great, great, great grandfather. Lord Ramsay Bolton has a bloody history.”
“You’re a direct descendant?” the same girl asked. “That’s so fucked up. He had kids?”
“He had a whole family,” Royce gestured to himself. “Obviously. The seed is strong.”
“He was a vampire, right? That means you’re a vampire too.” Royce laughed even louder.
“We’re gonna put those silly rumors to rest. Let’s get inside the horror house, yeah?”
Royce took the field trip group inside the Dreadfort and started showing them historical aritifacts. How people, especially low borns, lived at the Dreadfort. Outside, everything was placed carefully as if people still lived there. Weaponry hung polished and perfect in the armory. Bedrooms still had original bedsheets and blankets mimicking what it was like to sleep there, including the temperature of the rooms.
“It’s so cold here, what the fuck?”
“Language, Tyrone,” Layne reminded him.
“Sorry, Mrs. Easton. Was it cold here all the time?”
“Yes and no. Fortresses and castles never had central heating and air. They relied on fireplaces and windows to control the temperature of the rooms.”
“Sounds awful,” a girl snapped a pic of outside the window. “Was everyone who lived here miserable?”
“No. In fact, Lady Bolton quite enjoyed the cold.”
“Lady Bolton? Ramsay’s wife? He had a wife?” Tyrone looked confused.
“Yes, again! He had a whole family. Follow me,” Royce took the group to the private dining hall in the Dreadfort. A family portrait of the Boltons stood above the grand fireplace. Roose Bolton stood over them all with Lady Walda by his side. She cradled a small bundle in her arms. Below them was Ramsay and a redheaded girl. The redhead girl’s eyes followed you throughout the room no matter where you stood.
“Is that her? She looks like Hell.”
“She was. Her name is Lilith. Lily for short. She started as a servant for the Boltons.”
“A servant marrying into a noble family? How scandalous!” a girl with glasses laughed. “How did she do it?”
“Lord Ramsay likes redheads. He was interested in her from the beginning. He had many lovers and female servants, but she stuck. She followed his orders to a T. He made her.”
“What do you mean, he made her?” the same vampire commenting teen asked. Royce gestured for all of the teens to sit. They took seats around the dining hall, taking in the wooden dining table and the plush chairs. Royce pulled at curtains, darkening the room around the teens. A smirk hid on his face. The fire was the only source of light in the room. A teen kept a tight grip on his switchblade hidden inside his hoodie.
“What’s all of this?”
“It’s storytime,” Royce sat at the head of the table. “What, are you too scared?” The teen loosened his grip and shook his head.
“Nah. I’m good.”
“Let me tell you the story of Ramsay, Lily, and the first ever recorded purge night.”
“Like the movie? The Purge? Are you serious? That happened?”
“It starts with Lady Bolton up there. Walda had that portrait made for her baby. She took her duties as mistress of the Dreadfort very seriously. Once she had the portrait made, she hung it up for all to see. She was proud to be a Bolton despite their ugly reputation. Ramsay, on the other hand, hated the beautiful painting.” Royce looked into the fire, letting imagination take over. He saw his great, great, great grandfather pace the room.
Ramsay stopped in front of the painting again. He scowled at it. Once he turned, he bumped right into Lily.
“Gods!” Ramsay stepped back. “You’re too quiet. You know that?”
Lily pointed to her ruined tongue, something of his doing.
“Right. Sometimes I regret doing that to you. But then I remember you forced me into doing it. You’ve never lied to me since. And you won’t ever again.” Ramsay caressed her cheek. Lily gave him a smile, but looked to the painting before them.
“I hate it. Her child is above me. I should be the rightful heir. I hate her. I hate him,” Ramsay’s attention turned back to Lily. “I haven’t taught you how to assassinate someone yet.” Lily smiled, picking up what he was implying. She pointed to a guard passing by the room.
“Good. Good question. Walda and the baby are guarded, but I have an idea. Follow me.”
Lily’s red hair flowed behind her, standing out against the soft snow. Their hands brushed against one another’s. Lily was aware of her feelings for her teacher and master. She had often stayed up long nights writing out how she felt, but would always throw it away in the morning. He and Myranda had killed Violet together. She had hoped for that same chance with Myranda.
Still, Myranda stood by his side when Ramsay had gathered the Bastard’s Boys and other bloodthirsty soldiers around him.
“I think it’s time that my father and his wife should be relieved of their duties a rulers of this great house. My father has forgotten his ancestral traditions. Our family used to live like kings. Now, we lived by the grace of the Starks in the North in this pile of shit.” Several guards and boys nodded their heads.
“How do we assassinate him?” someone stupidly asked.
“Don’t use that word,” Myranda scolded. “We cannot be found out before we even start.” Myranda was right. Lily knew. Lily looked out at all of the men. Anyone here would die for Ramsay, not her. She lived for him. As did Myranda.
“We will purge tonight,” Ramsay ordered. “Each one of us will purge ourselves all night long and start anew when we see dawn. After that, we all have a clean slate to carry this house into the future where it belongs, as rulers of the North.”
The idea was too delicious to pass up. Soon, word spread in the nearby villages in quiet whispers. No word had reached Roose’s ears. The Bastard’s Boys reported nothing to their lord. Dusk settled into the Dreadfort’s stones, cooling them off from the day. A single guard took his post for the night. As he sat down, an arrow shot through his ear, killing him instantly.
Another traitor guard took his place and yanked his arrow from his head. He used the bloody arrow again and shot it through a Bolton banner. After seeing the sign, the purge began.
Lily used Ramsay’s daggers at his blessing and slashed her way up to Walda’s room. Myranda followed her, giving her cover and defending her if need be.
“Don’t hold it like that,” Myranda instructed. “Always point the blade out.” Lily narrowed her eyes at the girl. She knew that. She wanted to speak poison back to her, but her stump allowed her only an angry mumbling. Myranda touched her shoulder.
“It’s alright to be nervous. I was too. You’re not alone.”
Lily opened the unguarded, locked door easily. One could claim she had a talent for locks, but no one ever saw her unlock a locked door. It only just opened. Inside the room sat a terrified mother and her infant.
“Please,” Walda begged. “Please spare him. I’ll run off. I won’t ever say anything to anyone. Please!” Lily removed her sympathy several years ago when her own mother left her behind for dead. The dagger sunk into her chest before she could beg more. As Walda took her last breath, Lily could hear screams from inside the Dreadfort. The Purge had taken full effect.
Myranda took the babe into her arms. She calmed him down and smiled down at him. Annoyed, Lily attempted to take the babe from her. Myranda stepped away.
“You don’t have to do this,” she told Lily. “Whatever Ramsay told you to do. You can say no. I know a woman in a nearby village who can take him far away from here.” Lily cocked her eyebrow. Myranda planned this.
Lily moved forward again. Myranda stepped away. “I draw the line at children. Just go and tell Ramsay he’s dead.”
“Who’s dead?” Ramsay appeared behind Myranda. Seeing the squirming infant in her arms, he turned his sights to Lily. “Kill him.”
“No,” Myranda said.
“Did you just—
Ramsay was interrupted by a cut to his face. Blood dripped down his cheek. His anger rose to his chest. “You cut me.”
“Let me take the baby.”
“As long as he breathes, I will never be Lord.”
“Do you think I care?” Myranda shot back. “I’m taking him.” As she pushed past Ramsay, something came over Lily. Seeing Ramsay hurt by his lover, him being told no, it switched something inside. Something she had been hiding this entire time.
Lily jumped on Myranda’s back, sinking her teeth into her neck. It sent all three of them down the stairs, crushing the baby. Myranda tasted so good. Lily had wondered. Myranda never drank, never smoked, and only ever had one sexual partner. Myranda was a feast waiting for the right vampire.
Lily had torn her shoulder apart, reaching some vital arteries. Myranda was already dead when Ramsay had reached the bottom of the stairs. He took in the scene around him. He heard people screaming from other rooms, but this one was quiet. The only sound was Lily’s mouth slurping and swallowing Myranda’s blood and flesh.
The baby laid face down on the stairs, blood pooling around him like a red king.
“How long?” Ramsay asked. “How long have you been this way?”
Lily lifted herself from Myranda and drew on the floor in front of her. Blood and dirt formed the number fourteen.
“You’ve been a vampire all this time you’ve been with my family? That’s why you’ve never aged. Are you a threat?”
Lily shook her head no.
Ramsay looked to the baby. “You are loyal to me. Prove it. Eat the baby.”
Lily crawled over to the infant. As she picked up the infant, blood dripped from his face to the ground. Lily turned the small body over in her hands. Her teeth sank into the baby’s chest. She ate his heart while keeping eye contact with Ramsay. Ramsay could feel gooseflesh taking over his arms.
He had a vampire who was loyal to him. He wasn’t glad or angry. He was scared. He swallowed his fear and kept his eyes on Lily.
“You are more loyal to me than anyone I know. Why? You could kill us all.” Lily dropped the infant. It made a thudding sound on the ground. She drew with her bloody fingers again.
Love.
“You love me? Has our time together given you affection towards me?” Ramsay laughed. He watched Lily’s face fall. “No, no, no. Not like that. I’m only shocked.” Ramsay kneeled down to Lily’s level. His knees cover in the baby’s blood now. He took her face and brought her close to him. “You’re my secret now. No one will know. I will keep you safe.”
“After that night, Lord Ramsay took over and married her. They had four children together and ruled together,” Royce smiled as he finished his story.
“I told you they were fucked up. Who marries a girl after she eats a baby? Like who?”
“Tyrone—
“Language. I know, but still! For real.” Royce stood up and laughed. He walked towards the door.
“Family was very important to my great, great, great grandfather.”
“You keep saying that,” spoke up the know-it-all. “Lord Ramsay Bolton ruled in like the 16th or 17th century right? It’s 2019. Wouldn’t he be like your great grandfather times infinity?” Other students snickered at the joke. Royce snickered too as he locked the door.
“No. Lord Ramsay Bolton is only my great, great, great grandfather. That’s how bloodlines work. Just as Lady Lily is my favorite grandmother.”
“That’s sweet of you to say about someone you never met.” Mrs. Easton walked towards Royce. Royce turned to her with glowing red eyes.
“What do you mean? My grandmother’s right behind you.” Mrs. Easton and her students turned to a gruesome sight. There was Lady Lily Bolton. Her sunken eyes and older bones crawled on the wall towards the family portrait. Students scrambled behind Mrs. Easton for safety.
Mrs. Easton looked to her old friend. “Royce—
“Shut up, Layne. You were always too damn perfect for this world.”
“The kids!”
A singular hiss came from Lily. Her white hair parted so the teens could see her stump salivating and pulsating in her mouth. Royce walked towards his favorite grandmother.
“I really hate kids. They always mess up everything, don’t they?”

Sasusaku Month 2019, day 11, prompt: Chills
A sasusaku vampire au one-shot, because why not –and a little silly doodle inspired from the story :) Feel free to share your thoughts with me!
Rating: T
mini-Summary: When Sakura is dared to go inside the “haunted”-as everyone in town says- Uchiha mansions, she thinks it’s all just fairy tails. But, what started as a simple Truth or Dare game, might affect her life more than she could ever imagine.
  Sakura had heard the stories about the haunted Uchiha mansion. But still, she knew these stories were for children and she was not afraid, even though it was past midnight, and the woods near the mansion seemed to have a weird aura.
  The huge house loomed over her. The walls seemed black in the dark, and there wasn’t a single broken window.
   Weird, Sakura thought, no one has lived in that mansion, in about 200 years, they say. Why is it in such a good state?
   A sudden wind blew and she almost dropped her flashlight startled.
   It’s just the wind, no evil spirit or vampire, Sakura!, her inner self told her. Why did Ino picked that challenge in truth or dare? Why did I say dare in the first place? the pinkette wondered.
  She knew her friends were somewhere nearby, waiting for her. The only thing she had to do was to get in, go to the highest floor and take a few pictures of the interior, then get back to the car.
 She had stopped outside the massive doors. Fire symbols were carved all over the metal and in the middle was the Uchiha symbol, a fan.
  Sakura took a deep breath, pushed the doors open and picked inside. She saw a large staircase in the back and on the right the living room. Everything was in perfect order, there wasn’t even dust covering the furniture.
  She started to panic. She wasn’t the first to enter the mansion in 200 years, it wasn’t possible. But why was everything so neat as if somebody lived there? An old lady had once told her that who ever dared trespass the Uchiha compound, always came back with no memory of ever going in there. Those were just superstitions according to Sakura.
  Okay… Why don’t I just run upstairs,take the pics and get the hell out of here?, she thought.
  And so she did. She braced herself and started running up the stairs, floor by floor. Suddenly something caught her eye. On the second floor near the staircase was a portrait of a family. She moved closer to take a better look.
  Sakura felt her breath hitch. They were the most beautiful people she had ever seen. A mother, a father and two sons, the Uchiha, as the legends said. All with the same dark hair and terrifying but beautiful red eyes. Her eyes lingered to the youngest son, he appeared to be her age. Sakura for an instance thought she had seen him once, somewhere, but that didn’t make sense, so she pushed that thought aside. She decided to take a photo of the portrait before she continued rushing to the third and final floor.
  She stopped and looked around. It was a hall with a large window in th back. Sakura could see the entrance of the mansion and in the distance Ino’s silver car glowing in the deem moonlight.
 "That could be enough proof" Sakura laughed for her accomplishment and got her phone out ,once more, to capture the evidence of her victory.
   Suddenly, she felt chills as if somebody was breathing near her neck.
   "Proof for what?“ a cold, elegant voice made her jump from her place and land on her bottom.
   She looked back and felt her throat get dry. In front of her stood the youngest son looking as young and handsome as he was drawn in that portrait. If Sakura wasn’t terrified, she would probably be blushing like crazy right now.
  His eyes were blood red and had her captivated. His face like carved marble, hair like black feathers and an elegant cloak covered his body.
  "Well?” he demanded.
  Sakura felt she had to answer him, as if her life was depending on it.
  “I…I thought the mansion was abandoned. We… everyone in town did. They said it hasn’t been inhabited in about 200 years” Sakura stattered.
  “Hm, just like that time…” he smirked and Sakura felt some very weird things in her body, things that meant she was turned on by that complete -probably not human- stranger.
  “What do you mean? Who are you?” she dared asked.
  His eyes flashed even redder and suddenly she saw her twelve year old self in front of her. She was standing in front of the young Uchiha trembling in fear.
  “Nobody is supposed to live here” she heard her younger self say.
  “What’s your name?” the red eyed man had asked her.
  “Sa…Sakura Haruno…What is your name? Why do your eyes glow red?What are you doing here?”.            
     Little Sakura was quite courageous.
  “I am Sasuke Uchiha, I live here. As for my eyes… well, I am what you humans might call a vampire” he  had answered calmly.
  Sakura saw herself getting a few steps back in terror.
  “Don’t be afraid Sakura.” the man, Sasuke had said “ I won’t hurt you”.
  And her young self had relaxed just as he had said that. His eyes had powers, she thought, the myths of vampires always said so.
  More images followed, of her going back to mansion, her face bright pink everytime she had looked at Sasuke, chills rushing through her body.
  Every time he had told her to never speak of him and to not come back. She only did the first one.
   Until one day, when she saw the young Uchiha, getting closer to her and staring deep in little Sakura’s eyes.
  “Sakura, don’t come back in here. If you do, I will drink your blood”.
  Her younger self had giggled at that.
  “But you are all alone Sasuke kun, I want to be with you” she had blurted and her cheeks had the same color of Sasuke’s eyes.
 "I must be alone" he had said “but someday you might see me again”.
 "When?“ Her eyes had watered and his hands tapped her forehead.
  "I’ll tell you next time” Sasuke’s eyes had spinned and had wipped Sakura of all memories of him.  
   Older Sakura started to remember. These things had truly happend.
   In an instance, she was back at the mansion. She looked at her body. It was her nineteen self, on the floor. His eyes weren’t glowing now.
  “Why did you do that then, Sasuke kun?” Sakura said still in shock.
  “ It was the right think to do” he answered coldly.
  “But I cared about you! I loved you!” she almost screamed.
  “You were very young and weak. You would have died if you were near me any longer” his face was serious.
  “This time, I won’t let you do it again! You won’t erase my memories!” she stood up.
  “Hn” he smirked.
  “What is it?” she asked.  
  “I had warned you Sakura” he said seductively “next time you’d be here, I would drink your blood. You smell quite… delicious.” at the he leaked his lips slowly.
  Sakura thought he was trying to intimidate her, but at the same time the sound of his voice made her want to do whatever he asked of her.
   "Well , I am not afraid of you, Sasuke kun!“
   "Okay, then…” he moved very close to her face, close enough that his enticing smell had her knees weak, sending heat in certain parts of her body. With his hand, he moved a few pink locks that had escaped her ponytail, to the side and opening his mouth. His breath was hot when his fangs digged in her neck.
Sakura let out a little cry of pain and Sasuke put his hand around her waist, pulling her closer. The pain didn’t last long and as he drunk, she started feeling lightweight, her head dizzy and a weird kind of bliss. A moan escaped her lips. The young Uchiha stopped drinking and licked her neck before moving his face right in front of hers.
  “You taste even better than you smell, Sakura” his lips were inches away from hers.
   She was mesmerized. She liked the way he touched her, so close to his body and she couldn’t help herself from moving her lips closer to his.
  The kiss was soft, Sasuke’s lips cold like metal, Sakura’s hot, almost feverish. This felt so right to Sakura. She never wanted to stop kissing him. Sasuke stopped the kiss and looked at her.
   "Aren’t you going to answer if?“ he asked
   She was baffled for a moment. Then she realized her phone had been ringing for a while now.
  She reached for her pocket and took it out, Sasuke’s hand still on her waist. She picked it up.    
  "Forehead, what the hell? What’s taking you so long?” Ino’s voice sounded a little worried.
  “ Em… I…” the pinkette looked at the Uchiha, trying to figure out how to answer that question.
  The young man watched her with a daring smile, waiting to hear her lie to her friend.
  “I can’t go in!” she blurted. “ It’s too dark and I think it’s partly collapsed inside.”
  “Hm, makes sense” her best friend said “I mean, 200 years is a long time. Anyway, I’ll just find another challenge, now get your pretty butt over here” and with that she hanged up.
  “I should….” Sakura was founding it hard to talk with Sasuke looking at her so intently.
  “Go” he offered.
  “Yes… But I’ll be back! And you can’t do nothing about it!” she said with determination, before landing a quick kiss on his lips and running down the stairs and out of the mansion, before he could ever thought of erasing her memories.
  She made it to the car panting and breathing hard, but smiling as crazy.
  “Why the smile, Forehead?” Ino wondered.
 "Nothing! Just remembered something, Ino pig" she told her.
  As the car was moving towards the town, Sakura looked at mansion.
  Tomorrow, she thought, tommorow she would go back and the day after tomorrow and even after that.
