#though tbh even that was more 'eh. I know you're going to do this anyway and I don't want you to die

[soulsxng]

Me: Swivels, I feel like you should be on the "I can make them worse" list, but like...

Sivel: I would happily do all of the "bad" actions myself. Why would I let anyone that I love dirty their hands dealing with it themselves? Absolutely not.

Me: Which is why I'm conflicted!

Mason Mount x reader

Word count: 1k

Summary: Mason's sour after a bad game

Warnings: Fluff, a little angst, Hotspur vs Chelsea should be a warning in itself

Notes: Just a very simple, basic short one-shot tbh but I just had to write about this match. I'm still reliving it and get just as angry all the time. Like how, just how.

You could see how he was fuming, anger and disappointment just oozing off of him as he walked off the pitch. Clapping a few claps as a thanks for the supporters before walking down the tunnel with his head down just as his teammates.

It wasn't a bad game for Chelsea, having made two perfect goals but the frustrating and disappointing thing had been the referee.

Two goals for Tottenham, both who should have been denied because of faults but no, nothing judged and the goals stood.

You thought you were almost more fuming than Mason at that moment. Screaming at the tv-screen as Cucurella was dragged down and screaming even more when nothing happened as a result.

It was a little funny actually how you never cared about football until you met Mason. After he had taken you to your first game, United vs Arsenal you had been stuck. Watching every game and every league possible. Just this evening you hadn't been able to go to the actual game because of a late meeting so instead opted to have it on in the background. It was probably better anyway because you were sure you'd stormed the pitch if you'd been there. Not so good for your career though.

When Mason came home you had calmed down a little bit, stood cooking dinner when he announced he was home with a flat voice.

You met him in the hallway with a hug that he immediately welcomed, pulling you close to him and wrapping his arms around your body.

"I'm sorry for the game, you deserved those three points" you said lowly against his ear, hearing him hum in response.

"Wait you watched?" he questioned, pulling away a little bit while you shrugged "Well of course"

"Didn't you have a meeting?" he questioned confused.

"Well yeah, I had it on in the background" you said like it was obvious. Mason cracked a grin at you, chuckling as he pulled you into his embrace again. "Bet that was really popular in front of your bosses huh?" "Eh, they barely noticed. I accidentally screamed once but I blamed it on the cat"

Mason laughed, kissing your temple "Babe we don't have a cat"

"I know but they don't" You grinned back, untangling from his grip to stir around in your pasta sauce. "What if they come here some day?" "Well, then i'll just say it ran in front of the bus or something" you shrugged again, delighted with his laughter as he moved into the house.

"You're really lovely, aren't you"

"I can be" you grinned back, turning around to peck his lips. He was already in a better mood which made you in a better mood too. "It smells really good" he said sweetly, pecking your temple again before pulling away, walking over to the hallway to pick up his wash bag. "I'm gonna go shower"

"Do that" you nodded, continuing to cook as he showered quickly, soon emerging from the bedroom in a comfy hoodie and sweatpants.

He looked really tired and you knew he was, it had been a real busy time this far and it was going to get even busier. Training and training and traveling around England non-stop. It was what he loved, his dream but of course it could still be exhausting.

"You wanna talk about it?" You asked softly as you stirred down the pasta in the pot.

"Not really, just disappointing. Like we did play well I think, it was a good game for us but the goals are just really disappointing and to know that it was supposed to be 2-0 but still only go away with one point is rough. I think we deserved more of that game" he huffed, venting off.

"Well, you're right, it is disappointing but at least you can go away with the feeling that you played a good game and that you are in a good place. You got robbed of those points, sure but you're in a better place and there are a lot of points to come. At least you weren't the one getting a cheap win and the ones robbing" Mason chuckled at your metaphor, grabbing two plates from the top cabin. "Well you're right about that"

"But to be honest it's kinda rough overall right now"

You raised your eyebrows at him, never having heard of it before. "What?" "Well" he sighed, leaning back against his palms on the counter. "We haven't started good have we?" "No, maybe not good but not horrendously either"

"Well it's just a really nervous tension in the group. Nobody knows what's gonna happen with the transfers and we haven't been able to adjust to the new group at all. I-I guess i'm just worried something huge is gonna happen"

"Well, I get that but you have to give it some time, it hasn't gone many games yet and you will get together in the team. And if something big happens.... well then we deal with it then. Don't go around worry about it know, just focus on getting in shape"

Mason smiled through your sentence before letting out an over dramatic gasp. "What?! You're telling me I'm not in shape" he said in a mock hurt, clutching his chest which made you laugh, handing him a plate of the pasta and kissing his cheek. "Well, we all know you can be better and even if it shouldn't be like that Chelsea isn't on it's best if you aren't on your best"

"Awwww" he grinned, making you laugh again while you grabbed your own plate. Walking towards the living room. "Let's watch some trash-tv" you announced, seeing his smile as he followed you out to the living room and dimped down into the couch.

"Gladly"

HEYYYY [insert whatever pet name u like] it's ur venus stellium anon from last month.. do u remember me? sorry life happened 🤩 n i've been pretty low energy so i didn't get around to bothering u. I've been looking at yt vids of some of my chart placements lately and i've discovered something funny (along with other developments like me. I've been looking at ur blog the past one or two days a little and I obvs haven't made my way through the whole "backlog" but some silly thoughts:

I didn't know u were bi! For some reason I felt a little awkward talking about this because I didn't want to be That Person lol (aka everyone was talking about guys and I didn't wanna weird anyone out 😔) but my exes were women 😂 supposedly I gave them daddy energy lmfao I hate it because I wanted that from someone. I talked about them a bit vaguely but it might've sounded worse under the assumption of it being a man. (Unless I didn't say much and just forgot)

I've been reading celebrity gossip and only now realised how people - even the most successful - can have it so truly bad when it comes to romance and idk it made me a little apathetic and allergic to it. Not in a "im swearing off of it" way but in a "im no longer going to expect it in my life. If I get surprised, yay for me. Otherwise eh." (my mind's at a weird place though so it'll probably change when other things calm down, don't worry about me 🫶 this is all about the hypothetical future anyway because I'm not looking for a relationship rn)

Sorry u got hate about ur blog. I can understand anon got upset but the unkind language was uncalled for.

I came across the ask about nodes conjuncting big 3 and one of mine does; i can assure u (and the hate anon) that yes, this particular example (me) DOES happen to be cray cray 😭

This is related to the yt vids and point 2: My charts basically say I'll have an okay enough career, but the romance department would be dodgy because I will never be satisfied by anything anyone does for me (to put it shortly) 😂😂 that had me a little shocked at first but then I was like u know what we kinda knew this.. let's just focus on that career instead LMFAO

HARD AGREE WITH U ON THE FLIRTING IN NON-ENGLISH. I gotta be honest I cringe if I hear flirting in anything other than English (I've only ever been exposed to it in that language) but I read a fic (english) once where this man called his lover "meri jaan" and it had me in a DAZE FOR DAYS (excuse the lame pun pls) SO YES I AGREE W U. I've been collecting other little terms (just 1 so far) that I've seen people around me using affectionately and they're sooo sweet.

I HOPE U'VE BEEN WELLLLLL. I'm away from tumblr lately so I probably won't be able to send u asks in the near future but I hope u stay safe and take care of urself 💖💖 BYEEEEE

HEYYY bbg 🥺

I thought this was going to be astrology related but you're just checking in on me 😭😭😭😭and I feel so touched 🥺🥺🥺

1. About being bisexual

I feel like there are definitely different dynamics at play bc I do attract more butch leaning women who want to be my daddy 🫣🙈 but whenever it's a femme x femme dynamic, I always feel like I become the more dominant one and I do kinda hate it 😭😭

It just wears me out to be the giver tbh 🙃 especially because I already assume that role in so many other areas in my life, I just want to sit back and be babygirled 😭😭 this is why despite being attracted to women , relationships with women don't really work out for me 😭😭

it's all a matter of luck when it comes to love and relationships and sometimes things find us unexpectedly.

what I've learnt from some of my recent experiences is that someone can do all the right things, give you princess treatment and all that yet not make you feel anything 😭 so to be physically attracted to someone, emotionally in- sync with them, AND have a healthy relationship,, it's all down to luck 😭

2. not u calling yourself cray cray 😭😭

majority of people in this world are not living happy lives, be it with regard to love, career or family. To even have one of these things going well is a huge blessing ✨and while it's possible to have all of them, it's okay to not beat yourself up for achieving all 3 in one go.

One of my dad's childhood friends, remained unmarried into her late 40s. This is veryyyy unusual in India and she's not from a bougie artsy family where such things are chill or anything either. She, however, had a brilliant career and is a civil servant and rn she's in a veryyy high ranking position because she's worked her way up. Everybody around her pitied her (for being single and childless) but she was just out there making $$$ by the time she hit her late 40s people stopped pestering her because by that point, it's kinda "too late" to settle down. BUT GUESS WHAT HAPPENED??? she met a reallyyyyy cute Swiss-German man who was visiting our state/city and she happened to be the one showing him around?? (someone linked them up basically) and that wonderful meet-cute led them to marriage in like 2 months lol ,,, this lady who had been single for 47+ years found the right guy and married him in less than 2 months???? Isn't that sooooo romantic??? It's all about timing 💛💛 and now they've been together for a decade and spend most of their year travelling the world ✨and are very much in love

So different eras of our life will have us focusing on different things. Rn it's probably best to make that $$$ and focus on yourself. Love will find you when it needs to 💛✨💛

3. About flirting in non-English

JAJAJSJ yess I used to cringe 😬 hearing Desi flirting across languages 😭but now I feel like I've finally decolonised my mind to find it cute 😭

My ex was Tamil and he used to call me "bomma" which means "doll" in Tamil ,, I had a flop talking stage with another Tamil guy who used to call me "Kitty kutty" ("little kitty") and idk if it's a Tamil guy thing but they go hardddd with their affection through terms of endearment

Flirting in Hindi is always fun bc it's all "aapka this, aapka that" (using honorifics) and respect turns me on i guess lmao 🤭🥵 Idk if this is just a Desi thing but yk how men start calling you madam and ma'am 😌yeah I live for that shit 🤭🤭 they'll be like "madam is still getting ready" and I'll be like 😍yes the hell I am 😍😜

4. Thank you so much for checking in with me angel 🥺🥺 I appreciate it and you soooo much 💛💛💛 you're the sweetest

I'll take care of myself 😜 😌and I hope you do as well!!! 💛💛 May the rest of July be wonderful for you ✨

Hi love,

Alright, I'll start off with this, the wonwoo fluff, girl, I hope you know that good fluff IS about the most mundane things and yeah, you got me all giggly while reading this one, so I'd say you're fucking good at writing fluff( as if your pretty boy series isn't enough proof of that).

Next, the Alex Kwon update, it's absolutely hilarious, but the way I can totally see this happening, like, alex having to pay them to stay away from Alex!yn and telling her they're all red flags. Also, Andrew, Sam and Chris not being on his close friends, loll, girl I was laughing reading them complain. The cutest thing though, the Alex or alex✨️ was so adorable and I loved the update, it felt like early compensation for the pain you're about to put us through with the hoshi idol angst.

Now, minghao with lv, god I've been wanting to see this happen for so long but oh god, ge looked so gooooood. Seeing him Jackson makes me so happy, I love seeing the members interact with their friends. You see, I have quite a weird connection, I started off as a bts and blackpink fan, got to know Jackson through namjoon and then svt through jungkook, so watching all these groups interact is like my source of happiness. When I tell you, I was over the moon seeing lisa and mingyu interact, they're absolutely hilarious, the way gyu looked so done with her while she seemed to have the time of her life annoying him. Sorry, I got distracted, the whole point is Hao looked absolutely fucking amazing in that denim on denim look.

Okay, I see people talking about how they can't afford to stan more then one group, and I totally get that, like I have serious brainrot because of stanning more than one group(can't say I regret it though). To give you an idea of how deep my brainrot runs, I stan 5 groups, 4 boy bands and 1 girl group. When I tell you that I'm rotting, I mean I genuinely am, because just one grp is enough to drive someone crazy and yet, I choose to do so with 5 groups. The fact that I started off as a cubic doesn't help my case either, because I was instantly drawn to these 13 men being unhinged. It's been years and I still haven't gotten used to this, and to be quite honest, idk if I ever will.

As for disconnected calls part 2, umm, I would actually love you even more if it was angst(just a personal opinion) but like, I can't guarantee I'll be alive to tell you how much I love it, because, well, cheol angst is one of my weaknesses, I can't say I've fully recovered from the pain from the 1st part and the apartment we don't share.

Anyway, how have you been?

hi omg – wow im so late replying buuuut

thank u i KDNWKD i think i think too much about fluff bc ??? idk ?? i hate cheesy things and i feel like people wont like what i think is cute so then i never actually go through with it but AHHH THANK U

alex kwon just dont want the boys annoying him in the gc bc lbr the guys wont ever comment or swipe up on Alex!yn bc like theyre dumb but theyre not pigs... anyways its alex's way of not wanting to show his lover boy side to the boys

i loooveeddd the denim look sm and i loooove when we get svt interactions with other idols (imo it humanizes them) anywaysss

KFNENF yeah i stan multiple groups and im mostly casual stan for all but svt (but tbh some carats may think im casual for svt bc i dont really go crazy with purchasing merch) anyways now that it's concert season my pockets are HURTING

LASTLY disconnected calls pt2 will be angst and maybe equally as painful as the apartment we wont share....... i havent fully written out ehe BUT NOTED

also i am.......... okay ish.... work is.... work and i am ....... surviving lmfaoooo

[sealovinq]

XELLE OMG HI its been way too long 😭😭 idk if u rmbr me .. previously @/recordplayershipping (scout) !!! i saw u as i was clearin out my discord friends list recently n i wanted to come see how u were doing 🥺 i hope schools going well!!! also take this as a free pass to introduce me to the f/o ur fixated most on rn!!!!!!! <3

HELLO HELLOO!!!! AAAAAAA SCOUT I MISSED YOU SM!!! of course i remember you omg you're literally one of my fav moots /gen i'm sorry if this took too long WAAA i didn't know which f/o to talk about.... and yes i've been SUPER busy with school and it's starting again in a few days so 😭 BUT TYSM FOR STOPPING BY, I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL TOO<3333!!!

it's actually been a while since i got a new f/o... but i started rewatching m.lp (my lit.tle pon.y) and am currently around season 5 and erm... ya girl got a crush on one of the main 6 GGRGRBRHRJFJ she reminds me of my partner irl so WIWIWIEIJEJ HAHA NOT SURPRISING....

in reference to that previous post of mine i was actually referring to appl.ejack 🙈🙈 LOOK who doesn't like a masculine woman (mare in this case) who can carry me without breaking a sweat amiright WEEEHEHHEJD.... and the human version (NOT E.QG) fanarts of her DID NOT HELP because they all drew her with a muscular body and i am literally!!! so weak for that!!! HELLO!!! SAVE A HORSE RIDE A COWGIRL 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

i've made a ponysona too UABAYUSBDHDJ i haven't drawn her with aj as of yet because i suck at drawing ponies 😭 and i haven't made much lore about them either but i just like thinking about them hehehehehe

here she is!! my precious lil gem!! i based her off of the color palette of the beach hehe classic ocean-loving me. she's besties with ra.rity and would often come to her for advice about what to do with aj (pre-dating). again i haven't developed her but she's very Pretty and i love her so so so much. i would love to see her getting introduced to farm life by aj even though she's a bit icky about dirt but she'd do anything for the Girlfriend!!!

speaking of ra.rity i actually kin her! so it doesn't bother me when i see ra.rijack or any other ships involving aj tbh. BUT HELL when i do see ra.rijack I GET SO HYPED BECAUSE WE ARE SO CANON<333!! yes she is holding my waist and kissing me on the mouth yes that is me with the curly purple hair ehe

idk i just love aj a lot 🥺🥺🤧 i love especially how she's so blunt sometimes UABSHDIJD and she's so hardworking and does everything for her friends and such a sweetheart eeuuuuuuehhhh.... i wanna smooch her so badly and make her flustered AWAWWAEAEEEEEE

also i've re-explored my gender and decided i am more of genderfae (basically a gender that fluctuates to any gender except masculine ones, for example i can be feminine or neutral any time but never masculine ones) and have developed an attraction to mascs which aj perfectly fits into... aha <33

i don't think i'd be shipping with her e.qg version. they're canonically high schoolers and usually range around 16-18 but it's not confirmed so it's still kinda weird so i'm sticking to her pony version! og is always the best anyway 😍😍🙏

look at Her and her Handsome Face

SHE!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🧡🧡🧡🧡

temptation tuesday

rules: share something about an idea you have/something that's speaking to you/an au you'd like to see and are considering writing/etc. etc. Basically anything that is tempting you away from your current wips!

tagged by @lu-sn, thank you so much!! still in awe that we're mutuals tbh, you're the coolest <3

well.... the question is, what is NOT tempting me away from my current wips 🥲 apologies to anyone who has kept up with my snippet posting bc none of those are remotely close to done yet fjdkskfjs. for starters, my main wips from before were the vegaspete oneshot ("when i look deep down") and lita polycule shenanigans (as yet untitled). now, i have several more ideas that are circulating and i have no idea where i'm going with ANY of them, let alone the actual wips 😭 😭 anyway here's the shortlist eh oh el

vegaspete watersports of all things ??? i'm surprised too, this coming from a person who literally has never attempted smut ever and now i'm suddenly tempted to try THIS 💀 no title yet, but i do know that if this gets finished, there will be sexy gaslighting involved (both a threat and a promise)

drugged vegaspete sex where pete gets drugged as part of an earlier negotiation. SMUT AGAIN I KNOW. LITERALLY WHERE DID THIS COME FROM. anyway, if that even goes well, the working title is "i put your love on and sank into the glow" from a very lovely vegaspete coded song <3

had a thought recently (which i think i've read in fics before) about vegas having a garden and i just MAY have to write it smh. anywayyy most important part is he feeds pete with it and i think that's beautiful

toddblack something. very vague but i want biting and kissing for them so that's the starting point 🥰

3 will be free brainrot. consuming me always, to the point of me wanting to not only try smut but write sex for three people 😶 although i guess if i actually go through with lita there's four involved there sooooo. basically i guess i'm looking to try writing new things hehe

winteam !!!! who knows lol but they are certainly speaking to me and i have a google doc open there so that's something

so yeah, those are the current brain worms! hopefully i can finish at least one of them in the near future, or i may be in danger of losing my mind :D enough from me though, better tag some other folks @pitchercries @mandaloresson @m-a-w-a @lady-guts @shubaka in case you're interested ❤️❤️

[Magi reread] Night 14: Lord of the Dungeon

Still sick, and now my muscles hurt from all that coughing for the last MONTH. But anyway.

Fuck shit up, little magic boy.

Pretty.

Yo, I'm still kinda processing how badly beaten Alibaba's got, like, this is the next chapter and he still hasn't picked himself up. God damn.

First of all, "the slave of the rukh" is such a fucked up wording. Like, you could've said literally anything else. And then the whole "using slaves is my power", yeah, no shit, you have no actual skill other than being a sadistic piece of shit.

Yes, I'm going to overfocus on Alibaba still not standing up, like, bro. Actually, how big part of Magi is Alibaba just getting his shit wrecked.

No one wants you to accept anybody. It'd be an actual insult to be accepted by you.

Damn, what an expression. Shoutout to my boy Aladdin for not giving a shit.

Lmao.

He just wants the flute.

Will Alibaba pick himself up in this chapter? Stay tuned to find out!

Ok, but jokes aside, I 100% don't blame him. Like, dude got thrown into the wall by a Fanalis, and then kicked down by Jamil, that's a totally understandable reaction. It must've hurt like hell, and probably still does. Like, I'm making fun of it, but I legit feel bad for Alibaba.

Oh, shut up.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA TELL HIM, ALADDIN

You think he went to some doctor after this?

Your speak-cloud is wobbly, you're not good!

HE'S ALIBABA'S FRIEND ;______;

And he STOOD UP! With help, but still!

Saya, stop putting in all the Alibaba panels, just because you think he looks pretty there.

*touches*

They look a bit silly.

Lmao, get wrecked.

Oh, hi, Amon!

My son, obviously.

GET WRECKED, lmao. And F for Morgiana. Tho also this is why any "King Vessel Morgiana" AUs just don't work for me - she's literally stated to not have enough magoi to handle having a djinn. MUU barely has enough magoi, and he still can use the full-body djinn equip for several minutes max, and he's not a full-blood Fanalis. So, basically, unless the topic of her not having much magoi is addressed somehow, I'm like

with these AUs, even though they do sound cool. Though, to be fair, I also think her personality doesn't really fit a King Vessel. Ngl, tho, I wonder if that would've been the case if she hasn't spent most her life up until this point as a slave. How much of her personality is nature, and how much of it is her nurture? Tbh, I can kind of imagine her been a bit more like Myron, I guess. Who is, like, one of the two known Fanalis who DON'T have a history of being slaves. Shame the topic of Fanalis is so ignored later on.

On a different note, when it comes to Fanalis, I'm still kinda meh about them in the Final Arc. Like, they're kind of boring, ngl. I've always liked to headcanon them to be pretty conservative (like, give them SOMETHING), and maaaybe slighly look down on humans (they've certainly said something about Morgiana choosing to maintain her human form, instead of returning to her original one, tho I don't remember the specifics). And we know Fanalis are proud as fuck. I've always thought it'd be an interesting contrast with how the world before the Rift looks down on the Fanalis, while the Fanalis past the Great Rift look down on humans. It could've been an interesting topic to explore. Eh, guess I'm adding it to the "three four year timeskip" rewrite-esque fic outline that I have yet to start. Tbh, most of them already have titles, and quite a lot outlined, but this one still doesn't. Not gonna lie, tho, I might divide it a bit into several parts, cuz there'd be so much to cover.

OK, BUT AMON AND ALIBABA ARE LIKE "GRANDPA, AND THE KING VESSEL HE SAID HE DIDN'T WANT". Man, I could really use some Amon's perspective in Magi, as in, how exactly he went from "sigh, since there's nobody better" to "this is my grandson Alibaba, he's very cute, and a little bit pathetic at times, but he's very precious to me, he'd look so good in pigtails :)"

That he did.

You go, big magic boy.

I know as much as you do.

[perexcri]

As a fic writer, how do you stay positive and not stress yourself out with constantly comparing?

I've been really struggling with that. I start spiraling when a certain chapter doesn't get as many comments as usual, comparing my hit counts and kudo counts to other fics, and it's really not healthy but I'm struggling with knowing how to stop, how to just be happy and proud of the response I've gotten. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

ahhh hello anon!! apologies as this will probably be long alsjdlkasj, so i'm gonna put my answer under the cut~ 💜💜💜

first of all, i'm sorry that's something you're struggling with right now, and i'm here to tell you that i struggle with it all the time too, as i'm sure almost all fic writers do. which isn't to say your pain isn't any less - just know that you're not alone :]

it's something i struggle with, but tbh, i think it's just gotten less painful because of lots (and i mean LOTS) of exposure to it lol. half of the time i'm posting on ao3, it's me stumbling up to the posting portal's doorstep with a bloody nose and two black eyes, barely able to stand on my own, waving my fists around going "yEAH i can go another round!!"

here, let me tell you a story:

ok, so i started writing this fic called to hell and back again in like August of last year, right? and it was a silly little byler fic for me - just picture me typing away at my keyboard and going "hahahah but what if they got trapped in the UD but it was like a ROMCOM??" anyway, flashforward three weeks later, and suddenly it starts getting a lot of attention, and i start seeing it shared around. and then, for the rest of my time posting that fic, it had a lot of attention. i got very used to each of my updates getting like 20 comments, bare minimum. it was exciting, but also scary, because i was starting to go through a Not Great time in my own mental health, and i could see the cliff coming the closer that fic drew to a close.

so that fic ended with a bang, it had a lot of attention, etc. but before i'd finished writing it, i had come up with another fic idea and started working on it. i thought the concept was super interesting, and i was really excited about the emotional themes i was gonna get to explore in it, which, coming off of to hell and back again, where i had been so scared for it to end, i was excited about because i had something to look forward to again! plus, a bunch of people had commented on to hell and back again and said they'd gladly read anything else byler-related i would write. so, i was excited, wrote 70k of a fantasy au, and when i posted the first few chapters, i didn't hear a whole lot back. some, but definitely not as much as i had been used to (even though that other fic was more an anomaly than the norm tbh). every update just made me feel awful because i felt like people were looking at this thing that i'd put a lot of my heart and soul into and going "eh i think i'll pass." which is fine, of course, because i shouldn't expect people to automatically read something i write simply because i wrote it, right? it didn't change the amount of pain and embarrassment i felt posting it and maybe getting one or two comments, though

but i kept posting!! at that point, i'd worked too hard on it to give up on posting it just yet, so i kept it up, and i was grateful for the people who did leave kind words, even if i truly did feel embarrassed crawling onto ao3 once a week and posting chapters in a fantasy au it felt like very few people actually cared about. eventually, i hit a point where i was stuck on the writing, and i figured that a lot of people weren't reading it anyway, so what if i just let it fade out, yeah?

well, then my own mental health woes kinda leveled out (medication is a beautiful thing✨), and even though that fic still wasn't getting a whole lot of engagement, i kept working on it, and a few people did eventually find it that became super invested in it. this fic is a flower that resembles you, btw, and there's a reason why it's been gifted to 4 people: i legitimately wouldn't have finished it without just having those few regularly there to encourage me and offer their predictions for what they thought the next chapter would hold. they're the only reason i was able to get myself to finish it. even better, i've made a lovely friend because of this fic that i now talk with every day, and i wouldn't have had them come into my life without that fic. and now that it's been finished for about a couple of months, i've received several lovely and thoughtful comments from other readers about how it's made them feel. people have made art for it - hell, somebody just wrote a song for it!

this is still one of my least kudosed fics btw. it's not my most popular, but for the people who have read it, it's really resonated with them.

idk if this anecdote is helpful at all, so i'll just condense it to this: as long as it's not completely destroying any joy you receive from creating, don't stop posting. that's honestly my best advice, to just keep posting and writing, and know that your story will find the right people that it's meant to find. if it hits a point where it's seriously affecting you, then take a step back from it so you're not causing yourself pain, but if you can go on posting, i think, in the end, you come out the winner, no matter how many people interact (and at least that pesky little voice in your head telling you you're not good enough doesn't get to win, right?)

and i know that's really contrite and the thing everybody says: just keep at it! even if it's hard! unfortunately, the lesson i've learned the past year is that that thing everybody says is, for better or worse, pretty truthful. if you stop, it won't get any better; if you keep going, though, you never know what will come from it

and that's just it: ultimately, you never know how a story will hit with people or what will come from posting! i know it helps me to remember that i can't predict the future, nor can i in any way make people react to what i write in a certain way. once it's out there, it's out there, and it's up to The People to decide how they feel about it

and i've found that there's a certain flavor of joy i have with my least-kudosed/commented/bookmarked/what-have-you fics that i don't necessarily have with my others. i appreciate and love when people interact with any of my works, but i've found that the responses on my least popular fics tend to be a lot stronger or lead to interesting conversations with others. so i guess that's another thing that's helped me, too: realizing that it's not necessarily about how many people find your work so much as who, because when somebody finds your work who really needs it, or, conversely, somebody finds your fic that you really need to meet (as was the case with my aforementioned fantasy au), i think that's more fulfilling than worrying about how many people are seeing my fics

...which isn't to say that i don't worry about those things. believe me, i very much do, because when you create something and share it somewhere, obviously you want people to interact with it, right? and it's been especially difficult since i had a fic get kinda big so early on in my posting, but i'd like to think i'm getting better. hell, if you like at my ao3 profile, all the fics listed on my page right now don't even break 100 kudos 😆 it's almost kinda freeing at this point, and even though these worries still trouble me, i'm trying to slowly beat them out of me through lots of practice (i.e., posting) and patience (reminding myself that the right people will find my work when they need it!)

i hope this was helpful!! and sorry for rambling about myself - when i'm upset, one of the most comforting things i can be told is that somebody understands what i'm going through, so that's what i tried to do for you!! you're not alone, and i hope things can get better for you.

i know you're on anon, so no pressure, but if you'd like, i'd love it if you sent me your work so i can read it 🥺 you could send me another ask or a just dm me, if you're comfortable!! i'd just love to give your work some love since i know what you're going through right now, and i know it can suck a lot~

anyway, i am sending you much love anon!! i look forward to reading your work, if you're so inclined to share :] 💜💜💜

Hi! Guy Montgomery anon again 👋

I actually haven't seen anyone talk about Urzila as TM but that's so interesting! I think she would be hilarious, but so much of what I enjoyed about her performance as a contender was that she absolutely could not be bothered half the time 😂 I mean she was definitely great at bullying Paul - she was an incredible highlight in a season utterly full of highlights - but I think she'd have to lose a little of that "eh, who cares about the tasks" attitude to be a taskmaster, and I'd hate to see that go, tbh.

I don't think Guy would have to change much at all for it to work though. He had a kind of analytical approach to the tasks that I think would work from a taskmaster angle, too. Plus, he would praise Paul for them (milk over microwave task) or berate him for them (eat the grape task), or both (bean task - "You're a fuck, but you're a brilliant little fuck"). So, thinking about it, he was practically already doing half the work for the role anyway 😂

Honestly though, it's the spelling bee that's sold me. I adore the glee he takes in just being a pain! But it's still so clear that he wants everyone to have a good time, even if he's actively making their lives difficult. That's some classic taskmastery right there!

Actually, I almost regret bringing this whole thing up, because the more I think about it, the more I want to just want to see him in the role (sorry Jeremy, I still love you as TM, I'm just saying 😭)

Oh absolutely to all of this! tbh I think the only thing that takes away some of the taskmaster essence from Guy is his age/stature. Like .. he doesn't feel like a taskmaster if that makes sense. Even though he'd make a brilliant one.

Most of the Urzila talk comes from herself tbh haha. She mentioned how she'd love to be a TM (for potentially South Africa?) because she loves being judgmental and she'd "always give out the right points".

But yess once again I adore the idea of Guy as a taskmaster. I know it'd never happen but for like TM Junior? If somehow nz got a version of that, they should def be asking Guy to play the part.

[purplesurveys]

1780

When was the last time someone admitted to having somewhat of an attraction to you? Few months ago when some dude in Malaysia hit on me and also tried to use this cheesy pickup line which was tbh adorable but I just wasn't looking for anything so I turned him down.

If people hit on you semi-often, what race tends to hit on you the most? Eh that never happens to me.

Have you ever had an experience with ghosts or angels? If you have, explain: No and I don't believe in either anyway, so...

How has the summer been treating you thus far? June was fantastic; I went on back-to-back overseas trips and it was incredibly refreshing to have a month where I spent more time off than at work. The rest of it is an autopilot blur because I spent the rest of it working, lol. I can barely remember what happened in July.

What was the last wedding you went to like? Any pictures you’d like to post? I haven't been to a wedding since my aunt and uncle's in 2007. None of my friends are married, and the people I know who have since gotten married I'm not even close with so I've never gotten invited to theirs.

Was yesterday an exhausting and busy day? It actually was my most exhausting day of the week. It left me so tired I don't even know how I managed to drive home lol, I just wanted to close my eyes and pass out the whole ride.

Have you ever choked on food before? Not on food but on liquids and my own spit in the past, yeah.

Do you ever make awkward eye contact with people at restaurants? I wouldn't call those instances awkward. Sometimes I just meet eyes with strangers and that's all there is to it. I just look away as quick as I can so that they don't think I'm staring.

How often do random numbers call your cell phone? I wanna say 2-3 times a month because we're apparently doing a crap job addressing the whole thing about scammers and them having a hold of literally everyone's numbers.

Can you just go with the flow, or do you like control? I like an overall structure, but it's nice to have a bit of freedom within that structure. That said I definitely am not nearly as anal as I used to be and enjoying going with the flow is probably the biggest change I've undertaken in the last three years.

Is your internet connection slow? It is and it has been SO SHITTY the last 2.5 weeks. Our internet service provider is shit shit shit shit SHIT. I've been going to the office for 2.5 weeks now because I can't stand the slow service lmao; they also keep saying they'll bring someone in to fix whatever the fuck problem is happening but they've been saying that for the last couple of weeks and no one ever comes.

Have you ever unblocked someone that you blocked before? Yep.

Do you like to eat fruit salad? No that sounds like the worst punishment ever.

Can you take naps, or does it make you feel horrible? I can, but I don't. My free time is very rare and I always see sleep as a waste of time, even though I know I shouldn't... but idk, I guess I've always been a "I'll sleep when I'm dead" kind of person.

Do you know anyone who can’t swallow pills? I don't think so! I mean I have my moments where the damn pill just won't go down and the water makes me nauseous already LOL, but for the most part it's not a cause for concern with me.

When was your last uneventful day? That would be last Friday and Saturday – I had a fever then and both days were entirely spent on the couch recovering. I didn't want to risk getting up and doing stuff and possibly making my fever even higher.

Does your ex have a reason to hate you? Yes.

What annoys you the most about people? This is speaking only on the side of Filipino culture but I hate the culture of aggressive bargaining and find it embarrassing. Like the seller you're haggling is making a lot less than you are; if she says a top is 700 just pay the damn 700 lol. I'm FOR SURE in the minority here but I just don't like the idea of pressuring people, especially because I know I would hate it if I'm being forced to lower down prices that I set hahaha.

Don’t you hate how cameras are almost everywhere in public now? I don't find it a problem and it actually makes me feel safer.

Has anyone slapped you across the face before? If so, why? Yeah. Fuck if I know. I haven't talked to him in like five years.

How long have you been on the computer today? I want to say a little over 6 hours.

Did you know that a large fry at McDonald’s contains 500 calories? No but tbh I don't care. I know what I'm signing up for whenever I eat fast food, lol.

Do you find it hard to truly trust people? I trust my friends; it's a question mark for everyone else. I want to remain guarded, especially with how unsafe or sketchy the outside can get.

Do you prefer to have more or less in common with your siginificant other? Less is always more fun, as long as it's the little things – like me liking wrestling and my SO not understanding it one bit. It's a mess waiting to unravel if you have nothing in common with the fundamental items, like religion or wanting to have kids.

Why do you think people care so much about looks? Doesn't it just simply boil down to society and media and what we think society and media tell us to do?

What do you do when there’s a question in a survey that you don’t want to answer? I just delete it altogether or give a noncommittal answer.

Do you hate the last guy/girl you had a thing with? I did. I'm just calm now.

Have you ever taken a survey so long it bored you? Yes.

How easy was it to get over the person you last dated? 7 months, to my own surprise.

Do you allow people to ask you questions? Sure.

Would you take a shot of heroin for a million dollars? No.

Why don’t you talk to your ex anymore? I don't need to and I don't want to.

Dangerous Romance Ep 12 - Finale

I am never going to get over how casually Thai dramas treat gun violence. Someone always seems to be brandishing a gun or getting shot. Maybe it's just the dramas I watch.

I do kind of love how the scholarship kiddos are just...friends with the richie rich's now. Even last ep they were all sitting together at lunch even though there was no real reason to - it wasn't like Kang or Sailom were around to make them.

Also hilarious how I keep thinking Papang is gonna be evil in these dramas and he's...not. I did it in OF too, but Daddy Dan was just sweet and awkward and looking for a romantic partner in the wrong fucking place (don't fuck your emotionally unavailable employees guys it rarely works out). And Saifah might have talked his clients into giving him prezzies but he's really not that bad at all.

Why is JJ giving all the exposition? Also, why did I never bother learning his character's name?

You know, this show keeps trying to make me care about things I really don't care about, what with the sad strings and the slow motion stuff. But I still don't care, show.

Aw, the Sailom and Saifah reunion was really cute, though.

Okay, the banner at school thing was genuinely funny. Seriously, Kang?

Saifah you simp.

Huh. Okay, then.

Aw dad showed up to cheer Kang on. Of course he did (this is not a complaint).

Loing forever at these rich boys just being like "I will attach myself to this boy and follow them to the ends of the earth." Ray 🤝 Kang, for real. But I don't think that Sand and Sailom are much alike, because I think Sailom is actually serious about not letting Kang pay for things, while I'm pretty sure Sand is just fine being Ray's sugar baby now that they're dating (and so long as Ray uses his money and not his dad's), haha.

Oh. JJ is Max. And is apparently now BFFs with Auto, because okay why not. They probably bonded over the weirdness of both of the other dudes in their friend group wanting to bone each other.

Lol and both the girls will be in London. Where they can totally hook up on more equal footing (no I don't want to hear any discourse about it thank you I just want to imagine them being very cute together in London).

"You were horrible at the sport you were trying to play but really good at grabbing balls" - witness Guy's flirting skills guys. But Nawa's into it so okay, rock on boys.

SMOOOOCH!

Pffft @ Grandma adopting Sailom. Like we didn't all know this was coming.

"I know I stand before you today because I am the son of a school sponsor" - I think it, he says it.

Why on earth is he making this speech all about himself? This is why we let people who deserve it speak. What even is this? No, no I don't like it get it away no.

Although, ha, Saifah being the only one who had no clue that Kang and Sailom were together was funny and on brand tbh.

Lol are they gonna do an Eclipse thing and send them to different universities (although I think we all know that Aye is just gonna wind up following Akk wherever he goes - thus completing the rich boy "I will follow him to the ends of the earth" trifecta)? *hums "I Will Follow Him" and yes it is the version from Sister Act what of it?*

I do not think that they are actually going to make it so they don't go to the same uni, tbh. And if they do Kang will just find a way to get in there anyway.

Lol and I'm right. And now they're frolicking amongst windmills. It is pretty cute even if I'm still not really feeling them as a couple.

Eh no I am sorry I get what you're doing with the bookends, show, but you didn't do the work to earn this monologue. You made several attempts but they never landed because you didn't commit and you brushed off all the really good stuff that you had to say about class for hijinks and sports and inexplicably forgiving horrendous bullying to have lukewarm kisses with the bully. So I am not giving this to you, sorry.

Welp there we go. The end.

...wait, are they really doing escort roleplay?

What is WITH these boys getting into tubs with clothes on? First Ray and Sand with the boxers and now Sailom climbing in in trousers and dress shirt. Like what. What even. I was actually kind of feeling them for once and then they had to kill it with that. Gosh it must be so uncomfortable.

Look at this happy horseshit I can't even. This is too funny.

I dunno, man. Once I stopped wanting this show to be something it wasn't it was easier to get through, but Sailom and Kang never really landed for me and I never did quite manage to get over how fast they got over the bullying. I feel like they took it too far to then just have everyone be chill because umbrellas and windmills and love, but that might just be me.

I feel like this show opened up a lot of cans but then just kind of left them open without doing anything, just letting the worms tumble out and scoot around until they died (possibly of boredom). It wasn't bad, it just didn't really land for me at all. Final verdict 7/10. It was fine but it's going on the "won't watch again and will probably forget about it in an hour" pile. Sorry. On the bright side it wasn't offensive enough that I'm gonna be mad about it forever. It's just...there. I still like Perth and Chimon and I will still tune in for their next projects, but yeah. Hopefully they give them something better than this next time.

I still can't quite believe Marc and Pawin stole the show for me (them and Euro Thanaset as Auto. I loved that dude), but here we are.

[baekhvuns]

Maybe smaller fields were the reason because??? Or maybe they didn't know how to defend back then (some defenders still aren't sure what their role is 👿) it's so funny with Borussia sjsvahahsjshsjsjs

Weirder shit happened so Ancelotti couching Brazil wouldn't surprise me. If Zidane wanted to stay in France then I'd have to respect it, you're right him leading PSG would be hilarious, but I want him back </3

It was serious for Ronaldo lmao, they should've just fought outside the stadium tbh

Arsenal vs Man Utd was jshsushsjwjsusjs Arsenal shooting 25 times and MU only 6?! Winning 3:2, only losing one game so far and only 2 draws? I'm really living in a different reality rn. Heeeeey why do you want me to suffer? Maybe I'll see Arsenal achieve something in CL too 😭😭😭 Chelsea and Liverpool stand up wtf, it's a bit funny ngl

Yeah the vibes definitely off... good riddance then, this is so fucked. Busquets go away challenge

Also William and Harry are very different so that's important to consider, maybe Charles and Harry just aren't compatible as people, both Charles and Will are more robotic to me skshsjhsjshsavavsnja

NCT's concerts are big strip clubs tbh 😭😅 A BIT overpriced if you ask me... SM needs to stop being a monster of capitalism for one second. Literally what I thought about when the Lisa contract thing came out, they're going the football route.

Right what were they thinking making GOT perform their song weeks before the release??? Most people watch that performance since the MV is just boring. Maybe Girls on Top need more appearances, have variety shows like SuperM, idk DO SOMETHING or end this shitshow

Welcome to the Go Eunhyuk simp nation! 🤌🏻❤

Idc about HP anymore, but yeah the first two movies were magical to me! Lmao that's the Wimpy kid? I haven't seen the movies I only read a few books. Right miss Blake is busy making kids 😭 btw I recently re-watched some of Gossip Girl, godddd what a mess, but I lived for the drama. I totally forgot Sebastian Stan was in it

I still have snakes wrapped around my leg permanently, Slytherin through and through lol

I can believe the Pique thing is true, because these people aren't even slick and when you go places you see and hear a lot of shit. I saw so many questionable things in London, lots of open secrets as well 🔫

Ailee changed her photo caption and CB got mad, but yeah girl.... should've just deleted the photo

At least Birmingham has Peaky Blinders, but what does Brampton have?

Baek.... I'll look away from that aunt comment. Hwa's niece biasing the demon line omg. The "Sehun" webtoon is still on-going and I'm reading it, but at what cost 😭

Seonghwa hasn't posted a selfie in ages, word on the street is blonde Hwa is gone I'M COMMITTING IF TRUE 🤧🤧🤧🤧 Mingi's hair is dark too... But as long as no scissors were involved... unless he cut his hair then I'm killing everyone eh, anyways like I said if I can't see blonde Hwa live then no euro Atinys can. Though there are so many ot8 black hair enthusiasts (couldn't be me)

But god, look at this hair here!!!

Kpop stans actually fighting irl is even more hilarious and pathetic 😭

HIM and yeah we can SEE your love for tank tops💀 - DV 💖

helloo!!

Maybe smaller fields were the reason because??? Or maybe they didn't know how to defend back then (some defenders still aren't sure what their role is 👿) it's so funny with Borussia sjsvahahsjshsjsjs

no bc how small be these fields actually 😭😭 having that win in today’s football is near impossible, the max ppl can get is, sure, a 8-9 and even a 10 if they have some super team 🤚🏻 NO BC DO U DEE THOSE COMPILATIONS OF OLDER DEFENDERS DOING NOTHING and then see a maradona beating the shit out of them <3 borussia so funny and why’s bayern on top again 😭😭😭 fraud

Weirder shit happened so Ancelotti couching Brazil wouldn't surprise me. If Zidane wanted to stay in France then I'd have to respect it, you're right him leading PSG would be hilarious, but I want him back </3 //// It was serious for Ronaldo lmao, they should've just fought outside the stadium tbh

yeah he’s in the race but im desperately wanting the special one for brazil 😭😭 but i think luis enrique might actually make it fbfb RIGHT FBDB HE HAS EXPERIENCE LEADING RM’S EGO’S PSG’S WOULD BE NOTHING IN FRONT OF HIM, that mashup would be crazy seeing the players too PHEWWW,,, it really was 😭😭😭 i don’t doubt he jumped ramos after bc of his tackle fhekfhkdjcc

Arsenal vs Man Utd was jshsushsjwjsusjs Arsenal shooting 25 times and MU only 6?! Winning 3:2, only losing one game so far and only 2 draws? I'm really living in a different reality rn.

Also William and Harry are very different so that's important to consider, maybe Charles and Harry just aren't compatible as people, both Charles and Will are more robotic to me skshsjhsjshsavavsnja

YEAAHHH def not compatible i think, personally i feel more for william not only bc he’s a community favourite (he and kate i find quite lowkey bc they keep quiet and get their work done and go home <3) also bc he had to live his life a certain way bc he’s the heir,,, tbh if i was his sibling id be ecstatic “i get to be rich, live in castles, have fame and not have the responsibilities of an actual heir??? IM IN??” harry missed out bro <3 pls behave urself a little 😭😭 BUT SOPHIE AND EDWARD?? 🤚🏻 actually the best ones out there 🤚🏻

also, nascar or f1?

HELLO????

[retphienix]

So anyways how about a "I hunted 1 each and know absolutely nothing but here's my first impressions" post for the title update 2?

Flaming Espinas is really fun. He has a decent, if only just barely different moveset from the usual Espinas- but his ultimate moves are impressive and fun to play around so all in all I'd argue he's a more fun Espinas and that's nice. Doesn't feel like you're just fighting the same monster, and that's the whole point in a good sub-species.

Solid monster. Could be more different, but is different enough. Honestly, small differences sometimes do a lot more heavy lifting in making you fight differently anyway- so he wins out.

--

Violet Mitzu is a step above. Their new moves are interesting, their new use of the environment with their flaming pools is interesting, and all in all they are just a solid and very different Mitzu fight.

Solid monster, is VERY different if my one(1) hunt is to be believed (subject to change after I farm their crowns lol), nice. Probably the most interesting overall because of just how differently the fight flows, but that's 1 hunt deep.

--

Risen Chameleos is, honestly, pretty much just "What if Chameleos was mad" and that's enough.

He revamps some old moves, he adds some new moves meant to counter common safe spots.

The worst I can say, and I mean it when I say it, is while I can't quantify what I expected- I expected more.

Like something in me said "Risen Chameleos is going to be next level" And because of those vague and lofty expectations he ended up being the closest to a disappointment I can say this update mustered.

He isn't one, to be clear. But he's just "Par" just "Enough" of a ramp up on Chameleos to be appreciated. Nothing more. Nothing shiny. Just enough.

That said, I enjoyed hunting him and look forward to farming him for far too long. And I'm actually a big fan of the Risen stylings, the explosions, the rage mode, that stuff's pretty sick.

It's just that I found myself more intrigued with the other 2 monsters revamps to the formula than our first Risen.

Good hunt though! Like, I typed more for him than the others and it was all negative so this is like the least fair presentation I can give him tbh because he might be my favorite fight of the three because he hits like a truck and he's so much more aggressive than normal Chameleos.

Like, I ramble on lofty expectations, but this is Angry Chameleos, and it turns out hunting Angry Chameleos is pretty fun. So I stand by my experience, but I must emphasize that despite that experience I had fun and look forward to more.

--

Gear was interesting this time around.

Chain Crit got renamed since it was misleadingly titled.

Flaming gave us a new skill that sounds interesting but not nearly as game defining as the last update's new toys.

It sounds fun though. You build up a bar by attacking, and once full you get one(1) free hit where you'll ignore all staggering and take highly reduced damage and EXPLODE. No idea how nice the explosion is, but just for the amusing mix of defense and offense I say that's nice.

Violet gave us what is either entirely useless or extremely fun defensive utility. It's basically defiance except you get Evasion and Guard instead of earplugs / tremor / wind.

If it's Evasion and Guard 5, that's actually pretty sick and I can definitely see people running it with defiance for some tanky fun.

If it's like, evasion 3 or something, that's still good- usable even- but eh. Depends what decos it pops up on (and if it even does).

Defiance was game changing, this one already isn't on par with that- but it *could* be nice alongside it. Neat!

Both also gave some weapons, nice slots, nice new options, no complaints beyond an aesthetic preference for regular Mitzu on most bladed weapons.

Chameleos is demonstrating how Risen monsters will probably play out. He has no new parts, but you're granted a Risegem for beating him and THAT is the unique part used in his gear and decos.

His gear is.

Well.

It might be meta defining for some people lol.

It PERFECTLY slots in (as in the correct armor pieces and everything) into making a mix set with Gold Rath that is busted but I'm getting ahead of myself.

His new skill is Buildup Boost which is basically Foray except, well you'll see.

Foray gives you great damage while the enemy is afflicted with a status, but BB gives you up to 20% more damage on every attack that procs status buildup.

The thing I was saying about Gold is that this sounds tailor made to work with Status Trigger- and guess what armor slots this perfectly folds into? lol

They literally mapped it so you can just run max Status Trigger, max Foray, max BB and that's without worrying about talismans or nothin'.

They knew what they were doing lol.

That'll be a fun build.

He also gave decos and stuff, some nice ones too, but ignoring the good ones, the most interesting was that Chameleos Blessing got a 1 slot deco so all those poison builds can run level 3 blessing without needing a gimped set.

All said, pretty fun.

Flaming is fun. Violet was a standout for being interesting. And Risen *IS* a more fun Chameleos hunt.

I feel like I was much more excited last update, but that's unfair to bring up since I'm a 3U baby so seeing Lucent again was mind-blowing.

These are 3 phenomenal hunts, while last update had like 3 phenomenal hunts (Silver and Lucent 100%, and like 85% Gold but I could just be being unfair so I'll count them- it IS the most fun I've had on Gold so they get a pass) and 1 complete dud that didn't deserve to come back if it wasn't going to revamp more of their moveset (Seething).

So it at the very least matches last update in quantity of quality, it's just that I was hyped about Lucent and rewarded for that hype so :P

Good stuff.

Vox Akuma 👹🌹

as you finally see vox pull out of the driveway, you quickly open your texts and send him the appropriate message

the second you sent it, vox has already read it and the car outside stopped in the middle of the street. it was luckily early morning so no one was really around to drive

you begin to laugh when you see him back the car into the driveway once again and immediately exit

he sees you through the window. he sends you a smirk

eh?

did he know?

your heart sinks to the ground, but at the same time you feel somewhat excited

vox rushes inside the house again and not a moment too soon, he's opening the bedroom door with a look you couldn't decipher. it scared you tbh but--

"so, care to tell me why you intend to make me jealous this early in the morning, dear?" though he claims he's jealous, the expression plastered onto his face says otherwise

your instincts tell you that he's only doing this to tease you--the fact he was literally just leaning against the doorway, arms crossed while smirking really perceives that

you could've retaliated, you could've deflected, you could've taken more charge

but you let the demon they call vox overpower you anyway

so effortlessly too

he approaches you and easily traps you against the bed with his arms, the smirk not ceasing for even a moment

he taps your chin, "well? are you going to answer me?"

"we-well i..."

you had a plan you swear. but vox just decided to throw that out the window

your eyes end up avoiding his, flustered

vox chuckles to his delight as he grabbed you by your chin to face him once more. this time, his expression seemed darker and you worry for your fate of today

"if you're going to prank me, you have to execute it correctly, love," he whispers, his eyelids lowering and lips just a few milimeters away

see, he knew it was just a joke

yet here he was, acting like he'd fallen for it just a few minutes ago

he curls his arm around your waist and his breath is now against your ear, sending a ripple of shivers down your back

"payback time," vox grins, shifting to your neck as his lips grazed on the skin. goosebumps raise and so does your heartbeat rate

he places soft, lingering kisses all over you collarbone and neck with such expertise. so much passion, but not too much where you're subconsciously begging for more

exactly how vox wanted you, so he lets go at the last minute

you let out an unwilling whine, fingers chasing after vox when you miss his presence

the demon coos satisfactorily, much to your dismay, "awe, someone needy this morning? my, my."

this was supposed to be a prank on him how did it turn on you

you pout at him, "vox..."

he cocks his head to the side, taunting, "yes?"

you've always wondered why you put up with his antics, then again it's why you fell in love with him in the first place. you groan, pride far too bruised to admit anything at this point

so vox leans in and pecks the top of your head before slipping away again with a huge grin on his infuriatingly handsome face. "i'll see to this matter finished after i return, yes?"

with nothing else to say (and definitely not complaining), you bite your lip and nod at his words, earning a smile of approval from your lover

"good. now behave for me, love. i'll see you in a bit," vox winks and he's out the door again.

who knows what he might have up his sleeve when he comes home later

other boys utc!

Mysta Rias 🦊🔶

just as mysta was about to back out from the driveway, you press send and merely sit and watch for his reaction

from the window, you could see him pause to look at your text and the look of horror on his face upon reading it. he immediately steps on the brakes and fumbles around before finally getting out of the car

mysta comically stomps his way back into the house with his phone displaying your most recent text, face flushed and utterly confused

"babe???" he calls out, turning to you who seemed to be casually scrolling through your phone

you throw him an innocent smile, "oh, hey mysta! i thought you were gonna head out?"

his eye twitches before shoving his phone into your hands, the tone of his voice high, "yeah, until i saw this."

you pretend to be looking and let out a gasp, widening your eyes, "oh shit, that wasn't supposed to be for you, mysta..."

"HUH?" he looks at you as though you just grew a second head, fairly taken aback and surprisingly absorbing in your act pretty easily

sigh this poor man

"then who the fuck was it for????" he seemed mad? but also sad? and confused and still pretty shocked? it was comedic really

it became harder to hold back your laughter every time mysta said something

"hey! answer meeeee," mysta resorts to tugging on your sleeve, his lip curling out as he begs with his eyes. that was when you couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing in the next second

"hey, what's so funny, huh??"

"you, mysta. you're funny," you respond, giggling as he pouted even more. you gently took his face into your hands, squishing his cheeks as you place a chaste kiss on his lips as a preliminary apology gift. "i'm sorry, baby. it's just a prank."

"so no one's actually coming over?" mysta asks plainly

you nod, "yes. no one is coming over, love. i promise."

"hmph," the detective then places his head onto your lap, the need for the morning errand disappearing the longer he stayed there.

you pat his hair, "didn't you say you were going to run an errand?"

he mumbles, "i can do it later. i still haven't forgiven you for pranking me."

you can only laugh at what he says, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "i'm sorry baby. is there something i can do to make it up to you then?"

but he's oddly quiet and you start to worry

"mysta?"

said man raises his head and properly looks you in the eye. and there's a very genuine frown on his face

something sharp pokes at your chest and you begin to ask yourself if it was because of the supposedly harmless prank

"i was really worried for a second you were seeing someone besides me," he admits, looking away

oh shit

you sometimes do forget that mysta is not a complete clown. he's not always about fun and games. there are certain times where he really looks down on himself like this and you regret to have ever sent that text to him

you immediately bring him into your hold, whispering, "baby, i'm so, so sorry. i didn't mean it. i promise. you know i love you so much right? i would never think about being with someone else when i have you."

mysta hums, burying his face into your neck. "payback is a bitch huh?"

"wait huh??"

you feel the vibration of his chuckle against your skin and you realize that he had turn the tables on you

"mysta!" you hit his back lightly and he pulls away to pinch your pink cheeks

"how the turntables, eh?" he wiggles his eyebrows. but after a while, he holds your face and kisses you. "but thank you for saying that. it made me feel better. and i love you too."

Luca Kaneshiro 🦮🔆

luca makes it into the car and puts the key into the ignition. so you hurriedly take out your phone and type away the intended text, now all there is to wait for his response

boss ❤️ : is a friend coming over, babe?

and while his car did indeed stop, it didn't look like he was going to exit anytime soon

your heart deflates at the lack of response (and quite frankly how oblivious this man can be when it came to these things)

but how could you blame him for being incredibly trusting of you like this?

when you don't respond for a few minutes, your phone begins to vibrate and you realize that luca now is calling you--

"he-hello? luca?" you stutter through the line

"sorry if i scared you, honey! but about that text," he began, seemingly leaning into the car seat as far as you could see. "it sounds like i'm not supposed to know someone is coming over. something up, babe?"

you drag a hand over your face, "it's nothing baby, forget i sent that okay?"

"huh? wait no."

you hear him shift around the car and the door opening. you look out the window and see the mafia boss making his way back up into the mansion

seriously, this guy goes back inside in a hurry not because you sent a suspicious text but because you said 'never mind'

that's luca kaneshiro for you, i guess

you actually don't know what you had just put yourself into. how could you even thought that this type of prank would work on someone like luca anyway?

today was just not it huh

in a matter of minutes, the bedroom door opens and there's luca panting from jogging his way back over here

he cocks his eyebrow at you and you simply wave at him sheepishly

"do you wanna tell me what's going on, y/n?" luca inquires, taking a seat next to you

this entire time he'd been making his way up, you were desperately trying to find an explanation to give to him but in the end, as luca smiles at you innocently you don't have the heart to keep up the act

you whine, looking away while you crossed your arms, "it didn't work."

"what didn't work?"

"that text i sent you lucaaaa," you tug on his sleeve, causing him to laugh. "it was supposed to be a prank. like, make you worry that i was inviting someone else over. but you being you, it didn't work."

"oh you silly thing," luca continues to snicker at you

not only did the prank not work, now you're the butt of the joke all because of his plain innocence

"even if it was real though, i definitely would have thought you were just inviting a friend over or something without me knowing," he shrugs and this somehow infuriates you more

but you smile through it, sighing as there was not much hope left for the prank to go on

"ah, forget it, luca."

"were you trying to make me jealous?"

you turn to him and on luca kaneshiro's face is an expression you barely see. a devious smirk and an unspoken intention under that seemingly innocent face of his

he suddenly has you lying on your back, face hovering just a couple inches above you

luca's finger traces against your jaw while he smiles, "you're going to have to try harder, honey~"

what is going on who the heck is this

"lu-luca..."

your face is a thousand different shades of red and while you're usually rly composed and the one making luca shy, he has you wrapped around his finger

he leans down and places a kiss on your lips, but just as you're about to return the gesture, he pulls away quickly and gets off the bed

"luca?" you call out

"sorry, babe, i still gotta go!" he hangs his coat over his wide shoulders and heads for the door, having the audacity to leave you hanging

when you don't say anything, luca turns around and winks at you, "next time okay?"

Ike Eveland 🖋💙

for a bit of backstory, you were slightly scared to even execute the prank but since you barely do any on ike anyway, you wanted to see his reaction for once

so as soon as he was about to drive into the main road, you quickly hit send and anxiously await his reaction

you see his phone light up and he pauses to check for a second

it only takes him the next second to roll down the window and look at you

you flinch and without much thinking, you decide to just wave at him innocently

ike frowns at you, looking back between you and his phone, seemingly weighing his options at the moment

ike eveland was a straightforward man most times so to see him flustered over a decision like this was definitely something worth seeing every once and a while

you might get your ass kicked later but it's fine~

you giggle when ike visibly gets irritated and decides to park his car again, exiting once it was in the right spot

the door blasts open and there is ike with a face of mixed emotions, mainly being confusion and suspicion of your most recent text

"sorry, what's going on?" he asks, approaching you

you cock your head to the side, "what do you mean? and why are you back?"

ike raises an eyebrow at you.

he was perceptive like that. it was only a matter of time before he knows something is up

"you're hiding something from me, aren't you?" taking a seat across you, his golden eyes begin to search you up and down and you can't help but feel a bit uneasy

"i don't know what you mean, ike," you deny while smiling. "but seriously, did you forget something?"

he stares at you for a few seconds before letting out a small chuckle, leaning his head sideways. "you know what? i think i did. what was it...?"

ike puts a hand to his chin, then he looks at you with a bright light in his eyes. he comes forward and kisses your nose before standing up again for the door.

you sit there, baffled by the sudden gesture of affection.

ike laughs, "that. i forgot that. i'll be back soon, sweetheart."

then he leaves. as though he really did just forget to give you a goodbye kiss.

huh

you tap your nose where he pecked you and begin to contemplate whether that was considered a fail. he did give you a reaction, but as you kept acting like it was nothing, he... bought it?

quite underwhelming

your phone suddenly rings, which makes you jump as you had been too deep in thought. you went to pick it up and see it's from ike?

"he--"

"hi mom! sorry to bother you, but do you still have grandma's/grandpa's wedding ring?"

huh????

you don't say anything, your brain frazzled from what ike had just said. wait, he was meant to call his mother! you should tell him that--

"i've been thinking about it... you know, marrying y/n soon. and grandma/grandpa always liked to tell you to give their wedding ring to me one day. so, i wanted to know if i could pick it up from your house now."

HUH

"u-um, ike?" you stammer, holding the phone a bit too loosely as it was about to fall. you have so much to say but you don't know how to

was he going to propose to you soon? was that why he wanted to leave the house?????

"oh, älskling! sorry! you weren't supposed to hear that!" ike frantically says through the phone.

"well--ike--"

but then he begins to laugh uncontrollably, leaving you confused. it only clicks to you what is happening

"oh my fucking god, ike eveland! that was so not funny! and here i thought you were actually going to propose to me," you frown, heart deflating just a bit at the thought of it. though it meant to be a joke, you couldn't help but think it was a bit disappointing...

"but älskling, i do want to marry you someday," ike interjects, his voice dripping with honey. "and i promised my mother i'd use my grandmother's wedding ring too. it may not be today, sweetheart, but it will happen. i just wanted to get payback."

sweetest payback you've ever gotten...

Shu Yamino 🔮✨

when shu is about to walk towards the bus stop, he gets a text from you. a suspicious one at that.

you on the other hand were sneakily watching him from the window waiting for his reaction on the text

but what you don't expect is a call from the sorcerer, which makes you jump and panic because this was not one of the outcomes the internet had told you about

you hesitantly pick up, bringing the phone to your ear

"hello? shu?" you call out

"baby, is someone coming over?" he asks plainly.

this would've been the desired reaction from an average standing point, but shu definitely didn't sound worried or the least bit suspicious

"wh-what do you mean?" you stutter, laughing nervously

"the text you sent me...? why are you hiding this from me?" it's only then he begins to sound worried. he walks a bit to the side so he isn't in the way of anyone on the sidewalk. "you know you don't have to hide anything from me, right? as long as it's not any shady person off the street you're inviting over, i have no problem with it."

how could you pull a prank like this on someone like shu, huh?

he's known to be a very chill boyfriend so you figured that he probably wouldn't get jealous much

you also know that shu puts a huge trust in you

besides, he's got himself a handful of friends of both male and female, it wouldn't be fair to you if he restricted you from meeting your own friends

"o-oh, um, yeah... sure," you answer awkwardly.

"hm? you okay?"

you shake your head by reflex, but you remember you're on a call. "yeah, dandy. you go on ahead then shu. i'll see you later."

"now hold on, now i know something is up. babe, what are you not telling me?"

always sees right through you...

"it's nothing, shu. i promise," you laugh nervously, itching to find an excuse to just close the phone already. but seeing as shu is already hot on your tails, noticing how you get even more anxious by the second, there was no way he was gonna let you go so easily

he hums, "the fact you say it's nothing makes it look more like something."

see?

"did you accidentally set off a curse or something? come on, just spit it out so we can deal with it sooner, y/n."

it technically is a curse that you casted upon yourself really

when you don't answer for a few seconds, you hear shu starting to move again. through the window, you see him walking back towards the house.

"alright, i'm coming back. i can run that errand later," he says and before you could say anything else (not like it would help anyway), he closes the line

in a matter of minutes, shu is already opening the door and looking at you expectantly, "so? what's the curse?"

you sigh, "it's not anything like that, shu, i promise. it's just um..."

then you refuse to look him in the eye, more so because of how flustered you are.

footsteps head towards you and shu appears in your vision, crouched down so he could see your face. he smiles at you once, which makes you shy

"yeah?" he beckons you to continue.

"the text i sent was supposed to be a prank!" you say quickly, but shu catches your words just fine as he laughs gently. you curl a lip at him. "i told you it was nothing..."

"nah, it's pretty cute of you to even try a prank like that on me. was that supposed to make me panic or jealous?" he asks you

"i just wanted to know how'd you react is all... but yeah, most of the results suggest they'd be jealous," you bit your lip. shu raises an eyebrow at you and he suddenly comes closer by leaning up against you between your legs

with his nose just a few inches away from you, you involuntarily gulp

"and if i did get jealous, what would you have expected me to do, cutie?" he smirks, tapping your leg

"i-i don't know!" you deny

he laughs again, pressing a kiss to the edge of your lips. "you really are so cute. i can see why you wanted to try that prank. try a bit harder next time."

Masterlist!

[my-tones]

Hello! Ehe I'm here for another ask! Slashers with an s/o that acts like Wednesday Addams(☆▽☆)

apologies for the late response, shit blew up in my family and unfortunately I had to help deal with some of said explosions. Anyways- I'm so excited to have a slashers ask grbrbrbrbrbrb

Jason:

Very concerned about the death fascination, but can't really judge you for it (his victims probably only fuel your interest to be fair)

Please Do Not Hurt The Forest Creatures. If you're going to experiment on things please let it be already dead, or marked for death. Or trespassers, though he really couldn't care less about their fate.

Once he's more used to your nature and 'interests' he might start bring corpses to you fhdjkgsfkj

He spots a dead squirrel while on patrol and thinks of you. How romantic.

Hardly notices your tone at all tbh, it's just how you talk.

Michael Myers:

He's the most into it out of everyone.

He LOVES the cold, indifferent, tone you tend to have. If he talked more he'd probably sound the same. (He'd NEVER admit any of this though)

It's honestly probably a relief to him

Would kill/torture anyone in any way you want just so you can see how the body reacts.

Literally his favorite passtime

Perfect for him

Leatherface/Bubba Sawyer:

Supportive! Just please don't tamper with anything he intends to eat

If you want to experiment, please feel free to experiment in the kitchen with the corpses of his victims! (He knows that's not exactly what you meant, but he's trying.)

He'll gladly help you get resources to study, corpses and the such.

Gets a little offended by the cold way you talk sometimes, but gets over it.

Vincent Sinclair:

He doesn't have too much to say about it

He'll just let you do your own thing, just don't tamper with the corpses he's going to use for his museum. Or do, he won't say anything.

Just don't get in Bo's way.

Overall very unbothered lmao

Doesn't even get offended by any cold serious tone you may have, he's used to his brother being even worse.

Bo Sinclair:

literally unbothered, though differently from his brother.

You don't mind death? Good, help me kill this person.

You two are fucking menaces to the town oh my god

Definitely fuels your interests, doesn't much care to hear them though.

If you're cold with him he will be a bitch in response. You cannot be bitchier than this asshole.

Brahms Heelshire:

Does it affect the schedule? No?

Does Not Care.

Do NOT experiment on him, or even ask.

He WILL however bring you dead bugs and stuff he finds in the walls. It's clean enough in there, asides from the dust, but the occasional lizard or wasp will get stuck and slowly die.

Probably the most bothered by the cold way you tend to act though. Not a fan.

(If anyone has any other slashers they'd like for this then I'd gladly do them too :])

[luvbrie]

TXT REACTION . . . to you getting braces ?!

PAIRING txt ot5 ( separate ) x gn!reader 

WARNINGS nothing, txt might be a little ooc pretty much just comfort/crack

WORD COUNT 1.2k words — bulletpoint scenario 

c. yeonjun !!

when you first show him...i think he would laugh NOOO

he immediately reassured you that he's not laughing in a derogatory way

he thinks you just look adorable??? like wow you actually make braces look CUTE

apologizes a lot after the incident 

but yeonjun is yeonjun n he'll start complaining about it because it's harder to kiss you now :,)) 

you think after a while he just learns to live with it... 

No.

he is GENUINELY upset about not being able to kiss you properly 

a whole year and a half (maybe even LONGER too?!) without a kiss? yeonjun's not having it

he'll remind you to floss after every meal so you can get that tooth prison out of your mouth asap!!!

will prop get whiny if u tell him that you forgot or sum LOL 

"my love. do you understand the torture that stupid metal teeth straighter puts me through?? i need that thing off before i go insane and YOU NEED TO PLAY YOUR PART IN IT!!!!" 

overall he is just a simple man who wants to kiss his lover :,) whipped af i swear 

c. soobin !!

doesn't really think much of it tbh 

he visited you after the appointment and he didn't even notice honestly LOL 

kind of good for you? because you were slightly embarrassed ehe 

but when he offered you some chips you declined and he was like ????? but it's ur fav 

and then he remembers 

you nod and give him a big smile to show him your braces

and like HE MELTSSS WHY DO YOU LOOK SO CUTE 

he has this really loving look in his eyes and :,) he just loves you wow

he often forgets about your braces but reminds you to floss and pops into the bathroom whenever you do 

u ask him like ? hey binnie what's up do u need something

he'll give you a back hug and pinches your cheek when you're done with your regular cleaning 

"no, i just think you look cute with your braces. :)" 

just a very supportive boyfriend who loves u very very much !!!!! 

c. beomgyu !!

ASSHOLE

all he does is tease u istg this man

ofc he knows like not to be too mean but omg does he EVER SHUT UP? 

obviously the answer is no.

though contrary to his present behavior, when you first showed him he lowkey did not care HELP 

he's like "oh cool. how long do you keep them on" 

he didn't really comment on it but gradually he got more used to seeing them so he started teasing you about it more 

ofc he knows never to go too far with his teasing, but if you ever tell him you feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable with something he said

he will kiss all over your face n start telling you how perfect you are too him and his little butterfly pecks will NOT stop until you're a giggly, smiling mess 

he'll randomly grab your face (gently, of course) and push your upper lip n start pinching ur cheeks cuz he thinks ur flustered reaction is TOP TIER 

he will absolutely make a ton of "brace yourself" jokes.

despite his relentless teasing, he does not let ANYONE else tease you for ur braces . not even yourself 

you could make a quick comment like "lol my braces look stupid" and he's like

"what the hell. no. what? what are you talking about. you literally look fine. you're gonna be taking them off anyways?? don't talk about yourself like that" 

n you just gotta take it cause it's beomgyu why complain 

k. taehyun !!

pleaseee when u first tell him ab the braces this man is like "ah. nice" 

then you SHOW him and he starts ....bitching about the color you chose HELP 

it's like a consistent thing tho LIKE even after a month or two he'll keep mentioning it 

u have to physically shut him up by giving him a "gentle" slap to the neck but even then... 😞

he'll prob mention it every now n then after that period but it won't be as bad

there was a time where you guys were having a movie night with just the two of you 

n you were so invested in the movie but taehyun himself just could not get into it. maybe it was the genre (he was never one for sad romances)

but that led to him watching the much, much more interesting beauty in the household, which was you 

the way your eyes were so focused and you leaned in when there was a particularly suspenseful part; the way your hair fell ever so gracefully in front of your eyes only for you to just as gracefully push it back...

it was like he fell in love all over again

it was such a sudden surge of emotion. the fact he could call you his? he considers himself blessed 

it wasn't until he blinked did he find that you were staring  right back at him, tilting your head at his silent admiration 

it took him maybe a second too long to realize what was going on but he didn't look away. he simply said,

"you should've done a different braces color."

h. kai !!

an honest one here tbh 

you'll show him your braces and he'll be like "oh! they look nice on you... *adverting eyes SWEATING nervously looking EVERYWHERE BUT YOU* 

LIKE LISTEN.... 

it's not because YOU look ugly ... it's the braces...

he will ABSOLUTELY make that clear though 😭😭 he loves u ok ur adorable pls don't think much of it 

if u ask him for encouragement, he'll be the one that's all "it's okay... they'll be off soon.. they aren't permanent love..." 

if he's feeling particularly playful expect "i feel your pain. i have to look at you like this all the time you know" LMAOO

it's clear that this boy is no fan of your braces 

both of you guys are young so i think he'll let you eat whatever you want tbh, he doesn't feel like he needs to monitor you eating. he thinks it's a tad bit weird actually

unless it's something too squishy/sticky, because he knows that those are rlly hard to clean from your braces 

that being said, i feel like he would have this cupboard in the kitchen of a bunch of your favorite snacks that he's banned you from eating for the time being

he told you that he'll let you eat ALL of those snacks the day your braces come off. but only if you keep away from those same snacks while you have your braces on

everytime you slack off n eat something you're not supposed to, he takes a snack from the cupboard and eats it right in front of you LOL 

it actually does help haha

you bet that once your braces come off, you two will have a late-night picnic in the park, eating all those snacks and eventually leads to you two invading the playground at like 2 a.m 

it's just a vibe. kai is your vibe, as you are his! u two just complete each other. he's just happy to have you. <3
