hii itâs âđȘŠâ anon. i wanted to come back for a quick second and share some stuff. recently, iâve manifested so much stuff since i first sent an ask and even before that with only being in this year for two months.
month of janurary in order:
- my parents divorce being over after years (everything working out how we planned). this was also the reason i had got into LOA all those years ago, so i did cry for like a day straight, it was really my wakeup call.
- 2 week vacation to my favorite tropical area for the month of feburary (i just got back from traveling and i enjoyed myself sm)
- i tapped into the void state about two times that month as well. i affirmed for always being aware of when iâm in it.
- a healthier relationship with my family. the past few years i did struggle with feeling close with them but weâve grown so much in a short amount of time now.
- 300 dollars worth of clothes + a skims dress (the package was gonna be way more and i had already spent a lot of money for the vacation in advance)
- three new pairs of desired shoes
- this was random but, my mom always gives me money monthly to spend freely or to save but i had already gotten that months worth. so i was like my mom is gonna give me more money, not even 30 minutes later sheâs asking how much i wanted?? đđ
month of feburary in order:
- over the years my family has definitely gotten more lenient especially since iâm damn near grown LMAO but it feels nice to do stuff without feeling like thereâs going to be consequences, so i manifested for my family to be more lenient with my desired things.
- to get rid of my cold/flu a few days before vacation. i had gotten âsickâ (like a common cough and runny nose) from a family member. i havenât been sick in years so i was genuinely pissed about it. i affirmed one night when i was sleepy to wakeup without the sickness, and when i woke-up it was gone.
- my sister got paid earlier than she expected. and the amount was a few more thousands than she normally would get. it was funny when she came to tell me because she always has to make a joke out of everything. đ
- my mothers approval for more piercings and maybe even a tattoo? (probably not, iâd def pussy out LMDAOO)
- so this was the biggest one besides the divorce but we got offers for two homes. the same homes that we looked at years ago and it honestly freaked me out. i genuinely did want to move again so i could be closer to my friends house to hangout more (we both met through LOA about three years ago and just so happened to live almost an hour away). i glanced at both house listings online after talking to her and i believed that i was gonna move. NEXT DAY, MY MOM AND SISTER GOT TWO CALLS BACK TO BACK. so now weâre moving into both homes because of something that happened đ itâs not bad but it was funny. iâll be there in less than a week so iâm excited!
- another thing that happened was earlier this month. i tapped into the void for fun through this guided hypnosis video post made by gorgeouslypink and i was curious. i didnât have any intent on manifesting anything there nor did i actually think i was gonna go through with it. i laid down right after and i tapped into it immediately while following the last speaking. personally, i donât feel the need for the void because at the end of the day, ts is a deep meditative state inside of me. manifesting in the void is instant, and so is manifesting any other way. i also texted my friend right before and after. she thought i was gonna do it another day by u disappeared for like an hour or two and she was shocked. i was gonna send proof of everything but idk how to do this shit through anon but changing the font tbh this is sad.
all of the stuff that i mentioned within these two past months were all manifested without using the void. i hope that this can bring more positivity and enthusiasm for a lot of people whoâll see this post. ofc you can use the void but realize your power, it all starts with you and ends with you. donât forget that you promised yourself these things so give them to yourself. sending love đ iâll check back in monthly probably bc this is fun sharing my experiences and using the pink font color đ see you next time!
babesâŠâŠ. HELLO YOU DID THATđ„șiâm so proud and happy for you ! đ«¶đŸ youâre only gonna get better and better and i canât waitđ„°i hope you enjoy all youâve manifested đșđŸand have an absolute ball

Time (MONSTA X: Chae Hyungwon)
a few things:
1. yes i'm a monbebe now too and i fully blame fatal love era hyungwon for it. he has my multistan ass whipped
2. THIS IS THE LONGEST FIC I'VE EVER WRITTEN FOR THIS BLOG HOLY GAWD
3. i'm back to going to the office everyday for work, so we're back to infrequent posting lmao
ok so. i've wanted to write a vampire fic for so long now (the previous/first one i wrote was back in 1st year high school and despite my massive vampire kink i didn't attempt to make any other vamp related stories haha), and when i saw hyungwon in that red suit with the long hair and the eyebags and the turtleneck i just kinda went feral. this thing took me like, almost a month to write; it's been hard to cook up writing brain juice between work and trying to be healthy and keeping up with the pan de manila.
i fully intended for this to be like, sexy suggestive and leading to something more for the ending, but like. it turned out soft. somehow. the premise was perfect, but somehow my brain was like, "no make it soft" and we have whatever this is.
this is unedited bc i wrote it half-asleep and wanted to get it out there
PAIRING: Chae Hyungwon x reader. GENRE: vampire!AU, some fluff, modern fantasy. WARNINGS: vampire-typical injuriesâbiting, bloodâsome very mild sexual themes. WORD COUNT:Â 3,589 (holy shit).
---
The entryway is lit by the two dim overhead lights, casting an orange tint to the concrete floor. You take care to slip your shoes on quietly, not wanting to accidentally wake the slumbering man in the other room; he just got home a few hours ago and you didnât want to cut his sleep short, remembering how he slowly slipped under the covers with you, winding an arm around your midsection and releasing a heavy breath before passing out.
So with a glance at your watchâthe one he got you for your birthday a few years back, the one youâve worn almost everywhere sinceâyou grab your work bag and try to slip off the chain lock with as little sound as possible.
âAre you leaving for work?â
You flinch at his voice, huskier now with remnants of sleep. Hyungwon has a thing about soundlessly walking into places and surprising you by suddenly speaking. Your face scrunches at your failed attempt to slip out unnoticed, and a loud sigh escapes your lips as you turn to face him.
âHow long have you been awake?â you ask, stepping right to the elevated wooden floor that separates the entryway to the living area. Hyungwon is wearing a white shirt that completely swallows his slender frame and loose pajama pants. You cup his soft cheek, drag your hand to his neck, his shoulder, down his arm, until youâre intertwining your fingers.
âPretty much since you left the bed,â he mumbles, taking his other hand and wrapping it around you, pulling you to his chest. You feel him rest his face on the top of your head and breathe in your scent.
âAw,â you reply quietly, smoothing a hand down his back. âAnd I thought I was being super quiet this time.â
Thereâs comfortable silence as Hyungwon basks in your warmth and you can swear heâs close to falling asleep where he stands. You think thereâs no other place youâd want to be right now, but unfortunately, you need to work and he needs to sleep.
You let go of the strap on your bag and tap his side gently. âI have to go,â you murmur.
Hyungwon groans, lowers his head and tilts it to the side to whisper directly into your ear. âDo you really have to? Because thereâs something more important you need to do here.â He noses at your temple, his cold breath fanning against your ear.
âOh? And what is that?â Itâs too early in the day for goosebumps, and the faster you force him back to bed, the better your chances of resisting the sweet pull of his voice.
âMmmâŠ,â he groans again, and you feel his smile as he kisses your ear. âSleep.â
You snort, pulling away with a soft smile, free hand coming to cup his face. You pass your thumb over his cheekbone and watch as he melts at your touch, dark bangs falling over his closed eyes. âIâll be home early today, love,â you say, pressing a soft kiss to his plump lips.
Hyungwonâs eyes open unhurried, and he leans down to return the peck, lips moving slow against yours like honey. âHurry back,â he mumbles against your lips.
***
A quiet sigh leaves his lips as Hyungwon toes off his shoes, leaving them at their designated space at the entrance. He hangs his bag and coat on the hooks before silently walking through the apartment to the bathroom, eager to scrub himself clean of the aggravating scents and grime of the club.
Hyungwon loves his job, he does. The people he interacts with there, though? Still up for debate.
The hot, almost scalding water seeps into his skin, warming him up from the outside. Heâs used to the cold, he himself being below the normal human temperature for nearly a century now. The droplets sting a little, but itâs the pain that grounds Hyungwon to reality, a sort of proof of life in his years of floating along the endless river of time, never knowing when and where his journey would end.
Thereâs another pain, a burning in his throat, that reminds him well of his immortality. It assaults him every few days, and over the years has dulled from hurting so bad he nearly claws out his neck, to just being a pain in the ass that makes him cough if he doesnât slake the thirst.
Hyungwonâs body cools rapidly when he shuts off the water, the soft April chill helping it along so that heâs mostly dry when he grabs his towel.
The bedroom is silent when he slips in, quickly dressing in the huge shirt and loose pants from yesterday, before he ducks out again to make a beeline to the kitchen, folding his tall frame into a crouch as he opens the refrigerator. Thereâs a space just for his blood bags in the far corner of the fridge, that he immediately scans and finds empty. Hyungwon groans and slaps a hand over his face.
Of course he forgets to stop by the blood bank tonight. He vaguely remembers taking the last bag four days ago and making a mental note to call Kihyun for his refills, but there must have been something that distracted him at the time because at present, he canât recall contacting Kihyun about it at all, despite exchanging messages regularly.
He stands to his full height as he closes the door, leans his head against it as he mulls over his forgetfulness that never went away in all his years of living. And before he slips back into your bedroom and into the sweet realm of sleep, he rummages in his bag for his phone, texts his friend, gets a short scolding about his poor memory, and then sets a date to pick up his food.
Hyungwon quietly pads back to the bedroom and closes the door soundlessly, careful not to wake you. He slides in next to you, pulling the comforter snug against him as he rests on his elbows. He takes a few seconds to gaze at your sleeping figure, something he does every night. The random thought of coming off as creepy on the off chance you wake up runs through his head, but at the same time he thinks he wouldnât mind if you catch him watching you sleep.
You know Hyungwon loves you, and heâs told you before that youâre one of his anchors to his hold on humanity. Never once in your two-year relationship did you take his vulnerability for granted, and heâs (quite literally) eternally grateful for your kindness and love.
He settles in on his side, and his shuffling has got you adjusting to his shape under the covers. Hyungwon feels you turn to face him and reach for his arm. You groan small, pull at his slender limb to wrap it around you, and he just lets you move him the way you want, an amused smile on his face. His other arm slides beneath your neck, and you nuzzle closer to him, breathing deep when youâre finally satisfied. He counts five seconds before your breaths even out in slumber.
Hyungwon presses a kiss to the crown of your head and inhales your scent, relaxed now and ready to follow you into sleep.
***
His alarm wakes him at noon, the shrill tone making him jerk and tighten his arm around the warm body in front of him, brows scrunching as he groans softly. Hyungwon stretches an arm towards the nightstand and turns off the alarm with an expert swipe of a finger. He buries his nose into your hair, not wanting to enter the land of the living yet. You respond with a hum, shifting and turning so your back is pressed against his chest.
You both try to doze off again before Hyungwon realizes two things:
OneâItâs a Friday.
TwoâYouâre still in his arms.
âLove,â he mumbles against your hair.
You reply around five seconds later, with a simple grunt.
Hyungwon snorts a laugh, eyes still closed, but mind slowly waking with every passing second. âArenât you supposed to be at work?â
Another grunt from you, this time louder and longer. You shuffle under the sheets to turn to him again, eyes persistently closed and brows knit slightly. âTook the day off,â you mumble and slither your arm under his, scooting closer to bury your face in his neck. âWanted to spend some time with you.â
At this Hyungwon smiles, rests his cheek on your head. âSo we have until tomorrow night to do whatever then.â
Itâs quiet for a few moments before your head shoots up. The movement startles Hyungwon and makes his eyes pop open. Bleary eyes meet, yours equal parts confused and suspicious. âWhat do you mean? You took the night off, too? But itâs Fridayâthe clubâs gonna be packed.â
He levels you with a casual shrug. âYeah,â he says, sliding his hand up your arm thatâs around him, and stopping at your neck. His large hand completely covers your neck, long fingers splaying onto your cheek and winding into your hair. âI wanted to spend time with you, too.â He clears his throat. âIâve missed you.â Hyungwon can feel the steady pulse under your skin and he clears his throat again.
You smile, lean down to press a sweet kiss to his lips.
And another one.
And another.
And you would have rained more kisses on him had he not started coughing and turned his head away. The ache in Hyungwonâs throat wasnât that bad when he was asleep, but now that heâs awake, itâs irritating to the point of annoyance. He knows the thirst is his fault, but damn, would it kill him if he could have a peaceful morning (noon) with you before his body complains about being hungry?
He feels a hand smoothing down his back as the coughing goes down. He takes shaky breaths as he sits up and leans on the headboard. After a big exhale from him, you say, âAre you okay?â
Hyungwon looks at you and smiles tightly. âIâm fine. Just a bit hungry.â He sits up, only to scoot closer to you and wind an arm around your back. He rests his forehead on your shoulder as he talks, voice low and scratchy. âRan out of my supply and I forgot to call Kihyun about it, and itâs been a few days since I had a drink. And itâll be a couple more days before I can stop by the blood bank for my refills.â A cough.
Your arms are around his wiry frame, fingers running up and down his spine and making him drowsy. Heâs still tired and sleepy, but the thirst is keeping him awake.
âDo you want a drink?â you ask quietly. âFrom me?â
Hyungwon stills, a shiver running down his spine. Itâs not all the time he gets to drink from you; in fact, he makes it a point to not do it because he doesnât want to scare you off. Youâve been living together for six months, known each other for years before that, but he still worries, silently waiting for the day you decide that being with a vampire isnât worth it after all.
âNo, itâs fine,â he says. âIâm fine.â He pushes down the cough building in his throat.
You card your fingers through his long hair. âI know you try not to, but Iâm okay with it. You sound like youâre really hurting.â You rest your head against his. âWeâve done it before, and it didnât really hurt. And I trust you, Hyungwon.â
Hyungwon is tired. Is sleepy. The thirst isnât all that bad, but the coughing is aggravating his already dry throat. He hasnât gotten a sip of blood in five days and nothing else could quench this particular thirst quite as well.
A small cough. âAre you sure?â
Your head is still resting on his and he feels you nod. âYeah. Besides, IâŠâ You clear your throat before speaking. âI like it when you drink from me.â
The vampire freezes, not quite knowing what to do with this newly revealed information. Heâs not sure if what he feels right now is mild lust or genuine surprise. In the (very) rare times he drinks from you he thought he saw a twinkle of anticipation in your eyes, like youâve been craving it, too. He thinks maybe his view of himself is clouding whatever opinion you have of him, bad and good alike.
Hyungwonâs lips purse, trying to keep himself from laughing because he can tell youâre serious about this, just as worried about him as you are excited about the prospect of being bitten; itâs still a bit unbelievable. He finally raises his head and looks square at you.
âYouâre really okay with this?â he asks again. âYou really want me to drink from you?â He crosses his legs under the blankets and pulls you with the arm still around your back.
Sometimes you forget Hyungwon is so strongâhe doesnât make his strength known to you, unless you both need it a little rough in bed. Now, he practically lifts you onto his lap, emboldened by your declaration. You straddle him, sitting snugly with both his arms around you; your hands naturally find themselves on his broad shoulders.
âMhm,â you simply say, nodding your head. Adrenaline is running through your veins, and youâre sure Hyungwon can clearly hear how loud and fast your heart is beating right now.
It also seems like he can read your mind because he takes one of his hands and rests it softly against your chest, right over your heart.
You see him swallow. âYour heart is beating so fast,â he says, dragging his hand up to your neck, fingers soft on your skin, and you shiver. âYour pulse is racing.â Hyungwon is looking at you like youâre a meal he canât wait to devour. âYouâre really excited about this, arenât you?â
âYeah,â you say, even though you donât really know if what youâre feeling is excitement or embarrassment or lust of fear. You canât recall any of the previous times he fed from you being this tenseâit was always out of desperation and pain that he reached out to you for this, and despite this moment being along the same lines, itâs⊠very different.
The loose collar of your sweaterâone of his you pilfered long agoâis pulled to the side, and you shiver again as his fingertip brushes against your skin. Goosebumps raise on your arms as Hyungwon trails that single finger over your collarbone, up your neck again, to cup your chin and pull you in for a kiss.
His lips are gentle, but you can feel heâs holding back, trying to take it slow in case you change your mind. When you respond and bite his lip, he growls and pulls you by the back of the head to kiss you deeper. The arm around your back tightens, and you feel his fingers tangle in your hair as he angles your head the way he wants.
Tiny moans spill from your lips as Hyungwonâs tongue explores your mouth. When he pulls away, your sight is flooded with his red irises, gold specks swimming in the pool of his eyes that almost glow in the dark room. So chillingly beautiful.
Youâre breathing hard, unable to look away from Hyungwonâs captivating gaze. A thought passes through: No wonder humans just fall at their feetâwho could look away from such a mesmerizing sight?
âLast chance,â he mutters, wetting his plump bottom lip, his scarlet eyes fixed on your neck. âYou really want this?â
You card your fingers through his head and tilt his face up, dropping a kiss to his closed eyes, his nose, his pretty lips. You cup his cheek and give him a small smile. âDo it.â
Hyungwon takes a deep breath and kisses your cheek, trails his lips to nip your earlobe, and then lower⊠He goes slow, building up your anticipation, getting your heart rate up with every kiss and nip and suck.
He laves his tongue over a spot on your neck, and you let out a sigh, relaxing in Hyungwonâs firm hold. The hand still tangled in your hair guides you, tilting your head to the side. He noses at your neck and gives you a final soft kiss, before he draws his fangs and punctures your jugular.
You squeak in pain; the bite stings, but it goes away as fast as it came. You feel Hyungwon draw back his fangs and begin to suck, dragging his tongue over the wounds, and groaning low in his throat at the sweet taste of you.
It occurs to him how much he misses feeding from you. Because of the rarity of these occasions, your blood becomes a treat to him, a sort of delicacy that he deliberately denies himself of. It didnât take him too long after that first taste of you long ago, to realize that your blood is dangerously addicting.
Hyungwon focuses on drinking your blood, drinking in the small moans you make as he marks your soft skin. He feels your restless hands clawing at his back, the other winding through his long hairâpulling him close or pushing him away, you donât know.
Your senses are heightened and dulled; youâre acutely aware of every miniscule movement of Hyungwonâs lips on your neck, but the rest of your body feels like itâs floating. He groans against your skin and the vibrations send a jolt of lightning up your spine and you whimper.
Hyungwon immediately pulls back, worried he hurt you. His mouth is stained red. âAre you okay?â
Youâre nodding before he finishes, cupping his cheek with a hand. âIâm fine, Hyungwon.â You give him a small smile as he melts into your hand, one of his coming up to keep it there. âDid you want more?â
He shakes his head. âIâm feeling better now. Thank you, love.â He exhales, and you think he does look better than earlierâhis skin is brighter, the bags under his eyes are gone, and heâs even breathing more easily. âLet me go clean you up,â he says, and lifts you gently off him, setting you down on the soft comforter just in front of him. He pats your knee before getting up and padding to the bathroom.
You gaze at him as he leaves, the sight of his model-like figure waddling like a penguin amusing. Hyungwon stops at the door and turns to you, smiling at you softly.
He returns a minute later, warm damp washcloth in hand, mouth clean and eyes a lovely brown. He sits at the edge of the bed and cleans your neck with gentle swipes. The bleeding has stopped and the wound is closed, but the surrounding skin is blooming with black and purple bruises. Hyungwon clicks his tongue. âIâm sorry, love. The biteâs gonna leave a mark.â
You carefully tap the wounds, smoothing fingertips over the raised marks. They sting a bit, but it feels more like the soreness after getting a vaccine shot than anything. âItâs okay, love. Theyâll heal over the weekend.â You catch his lips in a soft kiss. âIâm glad youâre feeling better.â
He sets the bloody rag on the nightstand and moves closer to you, kissing you back, cradling your neck for support as he coaxes you to lie on the bed. You smile through the kiss, giggle as you wind your arms around his neck.
âThank you,â he mumbles against your lips. âYou looked so beautiful earlier⊠Thank you for letting me do that.â
You hum. âAnytime, you need, babe. I enjoyed it.â
Hyungwon is propped above you, a thigh slotted between yours. Lazy, slow kisses against the soft sheets seems like the perfect activity for the rest of the day. But you have other plans.
âI gotta admit, though,â you said, brushing his long bangs from his eyes. âThat was⊠kinda hot.â You try to fight a smile, embarrassed at the admission, despite the compromising position you were in just minutes before.
Hyungwon chuckles, ducks his head to press a soft kiss to the puncture marks, the underside of your jaw, your earlobe. âI didnât expect you to be so into it,â he whispers, his baritone voice seeping into your bones and making you shudder.
You laugh loud at that. âWell, my boyfriend is a hot vampire, what did you think was gonna happen?â
Hyungwon laughs with you, rests his forehead on yours and kisses you again. He buries his face into your neck, the unmarked side, and snakes his arms around your back and rolls you to your sides.
Fingers trace mindless shapes on his back, play with his long hair thatâs tangled from your restless hands earlier, relax in the quiet of the afternoon. Your heads are at the foot of the bed, legs tangled together. From the top of Hyungwonâs head, you can just barely see the sun peeking through a slit between the dark curtains, but all you want to do is sleep.
Youâre close to dozing off when Hyungwon suddenly speaks. Three words. Your favorite.
âI love you.â He squeezes you slightly and breathes in your scent.
You smile and reply, âI love you, too.â
The world outside your window keeps turning; the weather looks nice today. But youâre not stepping out, not when your whole world is right here, snuggled in your arms.

Thinking âbout you | Mat Barzal NYI
A/n: Hey, guys! This request was from the song prompt list that @with-the-words-all-wrongâ tagged me, you can check it on her profile <3. Iâm sorry I took too long, but I decided to write a whole ass piece and here it is (and guess what? I hated it lmao).Â
- Btw if someone wants to proof read my pieces it would be great, just dm me if youâre interested!Â
Word count: 3.3kÂ
Requested prompt: Â 10 âCan I see you again and not feel bad about itâ & 13 âI liked when you cared about me tooâ
Summary: Y/n and Mat met through mutual friends and itâs not long before they start hooking up. Sheâs has a wild spirit, heâs looking for someone to settle down. Is it possible to meet the right person at the wrong time?
Flashbacks in Italic!Â
Things started slowly but surely people knew it was coming. Since the first time y/n was introduced to Matâs circle of friends, everyone noticed the way his eyes sparkled with interest and the way she seemed to reciprocate it. They were both young, reckless and any slight chance of love or affection sounded good to Barzal at that time. He was living on his own, and sure most of his time was at practice or out with his friends, but the home-alone time made him think about some things such as settling or at least going for something more serious than the eventual hookups that he would have.Â
Y/n was funny and beautiful. God, was she beautiful.
The first thing he noticed about her was the eyes. On that low lighted bar, her eyes were glowing green in contrast with her skin. She was wearing jeans and sneakers, outstanding everyone. She was so simple, and maybe that was the thing that drew him towards her. The feeling of not caring about what people would think, not being open to doing everything as expected but doing it as you wanted to.Â
And maybe, just maybe, it was this exact feeling that made y/n choose Mathew.Â
Everyone in her family was expecting her to get into a serious relationship as soon as she landed in New York, but as her friend, Kayla would say âNew York itâs not the place to find a loverâ, and she was well aware of being on the age of glory. Her early twenties and the freedom of living on her own, paying her own bills something she dreamed of since she turned fourteen.Â
She wanted to have fun and Mathew Barzal was definitely a funny guy.
They went to many friendsâ meetings before finally taking a step on the obvious sexual tension. That did not mean it was time enough to become best friends, it was time enough to become mutuals. He knew some things about her and she knew some about him. He knew, for example, that she hated when people tried to make decisions for her, she liked independence in every way and damn was y/n mad when their friends tried to pair her with Mat before she could make her mind about it.Â
The thing she knew about him was that he liked her and she knew it because he was an obvious guy or at least he was obvious when it came to her. Not in the sweet romantic way, but in a cute and affectionate way.Â
Or at least thatâs what she tried to remember while things started to escalate quickly with movie nights and nights in, or morning sex. They were getting attached, but it wasnât what y/n planned at all and she knew she had a short amount of time before she would get attached herself.Â
It was a Friday night, she had an average day at work and the guys were celebrating friendship, just the possibility of having their small and closed group whenever they needed. These kinds of celebrations started with Kayla, she was the one always wondering and getting the best of life, pulling her focus towards the small details of life that usually made it better. Her biggest fear was to die without enjoying life, y/n was always down for her ideas and shared a fear that looked a lot like Kaylaâs.
They were chilling in Titoâs balcony, drinks in hand, enjoying the feeling of the cold New York air hitting their faces and the noises of the city that never sleeps being drowned by the many floors below. Kayla was telling one of her stories while Mat, Joe, Katy, and Isabela listened carefully. Tito was sitting by them but seemed lost on his own little world, the reason why y/n would sometimes call him âdreamy boyâ. A random song was playing low on the speakers, but everyone heard when y/n finally arrived.
âWhy you always late?â Joe asked before swinging the rest of his beer in a long sip.Â
âIâm never lateâŠâ she faked confusion before going for the wine bottle. âYou guys just always early.âÂ
Mat chuckled and Kayla rolled her eyes slightly, he liked her so much he even found her shitty jokes funny. Or maybe it was just Mathew, he usually was the first one to laugh, anything was fun to him, almost like he didnât curse or lost his mind every 5 minutes on the ice.
âThat one is old, y/nâ Tito finally left his dreamy thoughts and provoked his friend. He loved to joke around with y/n, it was like she had an answer for everything and she also happened to be a great listener whenever he needed a sincere opinion that wasnât from Barzal.Â
âYouâre getting old too and Iâm not saying that in your face...and Mathew laughed, I would say my jokes are aging wellâ y/n walked over greeting everyone properly. Barzal was the last one and kiss she left too close to his mouth wasnât unnoticed by Anthony.Â
âWanna sit with me?â He asked still holding her by the hand. All the available surfaces to sit already occupied.Â
âYou mean to say âsit on youâ?!âÂ
Isabela that was sitting closer to Mat laughed out loud, âYou guys are so obviousâŠâÂ
âAre you drunk?â y/n replied back trying to sound nonchalant and sitting on Matâs tights.Â
His hands found its way on her waist and she was a bit impressed at how comfortable it felt to be that close. He was wearing his cargo pants and a grey sweatshirt, hair an aesthetic mess at the top of his head and lips glowing from his beer.Â
It was short before Kayla went back to her story and y/n start sipping her wine.Â
Matâs hand would travel up and down her waistline under the soft blouse she was wearing and eventually her left hand found his neck hair. It seemed natural, almost as if the exchange of physical affection were something they did every day, and considering their friends were not chirping or making a huge deal out of the situation it seemed even more common.Â
âAre you driving home?â y/n asked when Mat finished his second beer bottle and she was still on her first wine glass.Â
He turned to look at her, a slightly confused and curious frown on his face.Â
âYouâre drinking...I know you handle your alcohol just fine, but drink and drive itâs no goodâ she explains being more detailed than usual.Â
Barzal chuckles before pressing a kiss in her cheekbone, âYou look cute when youâre worried.â
âItâs not-â she starts but the look on his face says it all, he already knew. He had her figured out so easily sometimes it was scary. âI just wanna sleep in peace knowing all my friends are fine⊠I care about you.â
âYou wouldnât have this problem if you sleep with me tonight.âÂ
And indeed, that was the first night they spent together and it was far to be the last.Â
Usually, she would be gonna by the sunrise, but this time y/n was exhausted with work and school and having to deal with her family constantly asking about plans they had for her, besides the physical weariness of a whole sex night with Mat. That morning she woke up not to a silent house, but to a shirtless Mat cooking breakfast while blasting her playlist of favorite songs.Â
âNormally I woke up without feeling like it, but Frank Ocean is playing and youâre doing pancakes...although Iâm not really sure about how the food is going to turn outâ y/n walked in the kitchen catching Mathewâs attention.Â
âGood morning to you tooâ he mocked her, glancing at his oversized shirt that hung her body in a baggy way but still so beautiful.Â
âYou need help there?â she asked going to the water bottle sitting on the counter.
âThis is the last pancake, everythingâs readyâ he walked away from the stove just to wrap one arm around y/nâs middle.Â
She thought to herself that Mat was the whole package, he knew her so well, he even put effort into cooking in the mornings they spent together -which were few, but still- and he was a great listener, although he liked to talk just as much. He was funny and hot, and he could do both so easily it was painful sometimes. But instead of voicing her thoughts, she kept to herself and left their silence to hug their bodies together. His face resting on the crook of her neck and her hands brushing his long locks.Â
As soon as the song switched to Lost, y/nâs lips left a loud gasp. Mat would be surprised or confused, but it wasnât his first time seeing her enjoy her favorites Frank Ocean songs, some he knew the entire lyrics. It was funny to see her wildly dancing and singing as if the world would end anytime soon. And it was those same eyes that made him leave breakfast for good and join her private show. They spent almost thirty minutes stuck on the dance-sing-perform-y/nâs-favorites.
These were the moments where they would be more friends than ever. Sharing the intimacy of the voice of each other and the awkward dance moves, getting to know the songsâ preference, and almost getting a noisy complaint by the neighbors.
And so when Mat started to miss her in the mornings and wish her by his side at night he realized that the intimacy of the moments they spent together could fit as a relationship intimacy as well. Y/n was so easy to be around and she would always have her own way of seeing random everyday things. She liked to go straight to the point too, she hated to lie and hated to left people read one thing when she was trying to say another. Thatâs why when they started to hookup she told Mathew she wasnât looking for a lover, she liked him for sure, but being in the years of glory and living in New York wasnât something she wanted to leave for a relationship.Â
After almost four months going on like they used to, Mat thought maybe y/n changed her mind. Maybe she liked him as much as he liked her.Â
And she was point-blank when Barzal brought the subject, âI like you a lot, but I love my freedom.â She didnât try to put much into it, telling him about her problems would only make him built hope, and she knew that maybe by the time she was fine with the idea of a serious relationship she could be in love with someone else or even he could be. Y/n liked Mathew indeed and thatâs why she left him.Â
Keep it up would only hurt him.Â
And so they said their goodbyes without a huge fight, but the silence still hurt just as much.
Mat shifted his focus to the season that was about to start, the travel around and games non-stop would take his mind away from how complicated feelings could be sometimes. Y/n, on the other hand, dived into work and school, however, still gets herself wondering about Barzal and how things would turn out if she said yes to his proposition. She missed him in the simple tasks of the day and had to constantly remind that they were not texting each other anymore and no, he definitely did not want to know about the funny dog that ran to her at the park.Â
Nevertheless, they had the same group of friends and when the season ended and so did midterms, it was crystal clear that they would need to face each other again.Â
It was a Friday night, just like the first time they spent the night together, and she had an awful day at work, still, Kayle was able to drag her to Titoâs apartment where the small group where reunited. This time it was not one of her best friend random celebrations, it was actually because they spent too long without meeting.Â
When they finally reached Anthonyâs floor y/n still had no idea how she would talk with Mat. She was nervous. They went from 2 a.m calls to zero communication and the lack of it was the reason why she had no idea how he was feeling, if he was doing fine, if he hated her, if he was ok with keeping the friendship etc.Â
Everyone was in the living room surrounded by bottles and snacks while a random pop song was playing on the tv. He was the first face she searched for but was nowhere to be found, and so y/n settled for greeting each of her friends with a warm and tight hug.Â
Except for Tito, he was the last one on the sofa line, âwhereâs my wine, Beau?âÂ
âKitchen counterâ he rolled his eyes playfully.Â
âAlright, now I can give you a hugâ y/n joked before lowering herself and draping her arms around Anthonyâs shoulders.
âBring me another water bottle too, pleaseâ Joe requested when she was making her way towards the other room.
The hardwood floor felt cold against her feet and she enjoyed the feeling, trying to switch her thoughts to something other than why Mathew wasnât there. But before she was able to, she reached the kitchen and there he was sitting on the stool while working in one of his drinks.
It was like the cold from her feet reached her whole body suddenly and she was nervous again.
Mathew made y/n nervous.
It was new to her and she was torn between trying to figure out more about the unknown feeling or ignoring it by shoving it down her pocket.Â
âHey!â she tried to sound cheerful, but only got a nod as the response.
Y/n couldnât read him with his eyes away from her, but he seemed a little out of tune. His hair the usual aesthetic mess at the top of his head and his so friendly white sweatshirt.Â
She walked over to the freezer reaching the water bottle Joe asked for and then going for the glasses and pouring her so loved wine.Â
ïżœïżœïżœFor a moment when I walked in and didnât saw my wine at the coffee table, I thought Tito had forgotten about meâ her remark did not bother Mathew that kept working with the lemon and vodka in front of him. The pang on her heart now so much vivid. Maybe he hated her indeed, maybe he was heartbroken after everything they went through. And she couldnât help but finally let some kind of guilty sink at the top of her stomach. âCan I see you again and not feel bad about it?âÂ
The thirty seconds of silence were filled with Matâs breath since y/n was holding hers.Â
âWhat do you mean?â Mat sounded genuinely confused.Â
âI mean you ignoring me...I never intended to hurt you, you know?âÂ
âIâm sorry. Iâm not ignoring you, Iâm just out of the area today, my sleep schedule is all fucked up and Iâve been a little grumpy lately, thereâs nothing to do with you.âÂ
She wanted to ask how he was doing, if he were hurt when things didnât go as planned, she even wished to ask about hockey so he would smile bright and big and keep talking for the next two hours. But instead, she took the wine glass and water bottle, making her away to the living room while holding her heart in her hands too.Â
Joe started a conversation about vacation and so it was the main topic for two hours straight, and even though Mat knew a lot about the subject he kept his mouth shut, mainly just listening to everyone while sipping his drink. It was unusual considering Barzal was usually the one who couldnât shut up, you would always hear him on the friendsâ get-together either his loud voice or his laugh.Â
Y/n found herself looking at Mat right across her, but she was still able to miss him, cause it didnât felt like he was there. He was far away in all meanings.Â
âThereâs something I can do to help?â y/n asked while walking to sit beside Mat in the bed they were, certainly, going to share that night, âI donât know what Iâm supposed to say to make you feel better, I guess you know by now that it wasnât your fault.â
Mat was moping since he got home, the islanders had lost and the cherry to the cake was the fact that they lost a home game, and y/n was by his side time enough to know that he absolutely hated to lose this way, but she wasnât time enough to know how she was supposed to deal with it. She wasnât in the mood for sex and he sure wasnât too, however she couldnât stand the pouty lips and the moody Mat, it gave her heart a little pain.
âYou donât need to say anythingâ he mumbled underneath the covers.Â
âBut I want to. I care about you, Mathew.â she insisted. âWhat can I do?â
Mat had this soft smile in the corner of his lips watching y/n sitting by his side and looking at him as if he was the most important thing to her at that moment. âI care about youâ wasnât an âI love youâ, but it meant something deep and they both knew it.Â
âYou can just lay with me.â He gave up scooting to the side and opening his arms for her to lay on top of him. âAnd stay the night.âÂ
âI wasnât planning on going anywhere,â y/nâs lips found Matâs in a slow and sweet kiss that last only some seconds before her face was on the crook of his neck.Â
Everyone was too caught up on the conversation to notice y/n walk to the balcony and sit in one of the big cold chairs, everyone except Mat and it didnât take long for him to grab a blanket and follow. He knew she was barefoot and she usually was cold at night. Mat knew a lot of things he never thought he would when they first started going out. Yes, he was looking for a lover, and yes he wished with all his willpower to be y/n, but she left him dazed, living each day by its time - as itâs supposed to be -. Maybe that was the reason why in the middle of it all he didnât stop too much to think about how things were turning in an unknown road...and when he did, it took them to the mess they were living.Â
Barzal said nothing as he dropped the blanket around y/nâs body and lowered himself to sit by her side.Â
âThank you,â she mumbled a bit dizzy.Â
âNo need to thank me, I just still care about you, thatâs all.â His voice was low but firm. He didnât sound spiteful, it was as if he was letting himself to be soft after every solid thing that hit both of them.Â
And y/n took the time to process that information.Â
Mat still care!!!, her insides screaming in pure joy and confusion, and she felt as unsteady as ever. All the âwhat ifâsâ making room inside her thoughts. But âWhat if he still cares, but donât want anything?' âWhat if things donât work out?â
âI liked when you cared about me tooâŠâ Mat voiced taking y/nâs silence as an answer itself. .Â
âMat, Iâm justâŠâ she thought for some seconds more, her head still bubbling with doubts. âI still care about you.â
His head was still low, fingers playing with a random bracelet, he was deep in his thoughts just as y/n.Â
âI wasnât ready to commit, I have so much shit going on and itâs a whole package. A relationship is different from how we were working before. It demands a lot moreâŠI also needed these months to think again and again about it.â She ranted while staring at the building in front of them. âBut I still do. I still care about you.â
âI wanna give it a try, the whole package, and everything. I like you, y/n.â He whispered, his voice drowned by the noise of the city, but she was still able to hear him, the soft tone, the truth underneath each word. âJust text me and let me know when youâre ready.âÂ
She nodded while they exchanged a meaningful look. Truth dripping from each otherâs eyes along with affection and a new kind of feeling.
They sat there in silence for some minutes, just listening to the cityâs noise and feeling the cold air hit their faces before y/n took her phone typing a simple message and sending it to Mat. He looked at her, a hint of amusement and happiness, and she shook her head yes.

Precious Art
Authorâs Note: This ship turned into a drabble lmao lol, but I had fun writing it!! More info about this below!! I hope you enjoy it! Thank you soo much for your support, love!!! Yâall stay safe!!! (Found gif on Pinterest)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Napoleon Solo x Reader
Masterlist
I ship you with Napoleon Solo
The Meet:
You were more than nervous gaining a client youâd never met but youâd read about Napoleon Solo. This art thief was notorious. You rearranged your documents in the worn desk before you for the fifth time, and you did not know if you had a headache or if your heart was throbbing through your head from the nerves. Napoleon Solo was to enter that door in less than five minutes, and all you could think was, âhow did you land representing the most renown art thief in the entire world?â A defense attorney was not your ideal career, but at the moment, it was the only one that was putting food on the table. The goal was to earn a living, save, and then open up Blooms. If patience was a virtue, you were the ideal candidate for virtuosity.
The agent that entered the room was familiar to you, several times he had approached you about Napoleon. He wanted you to make a deal with the FBI, or he swore that heâd never see the light of day. Youâd looked over the evidence three times; Napoleon had been thorough in hiding it was him, but in his last heist, heâd left small trails that could leave doubt. You cleared your throat, glancing up at the man before you rolled your eyes. âAre you not going to allow me to meet him first?â
âHeâs going to come in here a woo you.â He lit his cigarette, placing the white stick between his thin pink lips and then peering at you through the thick bifocaled glasses. The wide brim hat hid his face and was entirely unnecessary for indoors. âNapoleon isnât a good guy. That is the warning I came to give you before he walks in. Take away the charm, the face, and he is just a criminal who stole and made money from things that didnât belong to him. We can offer him seven years in the FBI as an agent⊠heâll be bound until his time is served, but he would be free none the less. Consider it.â
âCould you not smoke in here?â You asked before he struck the match. âItâs a small room, and this is not my only meeting.â You flourished the Versace dress and then eyed him once again.
âJust remember what I offered, the state wants him in for twenty-five years.â He pushed up from his seat, making the horrid dragging sound with the legs before he left the room.
âIs there a real reason you need all these wretched chains?â The posh voice from the hall carried into the room and then the sound of heavy chains. âCertainly not, I am not a killer. I took a few pictures.â
He was right. There were chains wrapped around his feet, up to his arms, and they were not the standard size, they made the normally large looking man look small. He looked like his photos, but there was an unkempt feature to him. The neat part he usually had was gone, and the curls that were gelled and perfectly placed atop his head fell in his face. Napoleon Solo had fallen from grace.
âYou do not have to push.â Napoleon stared at the guard he lunged him at the chair. âI served this country.â
âShut up.â The guard mumbled before he closed the door.
âThe nerve of these people.â Napoleon lifted his hands to his hair in an attempt to fix the mess. âOh great, they sent me someone with no experience.â He looked you over. âThey are full-,â
You interrupted. âIâve scoured your case. Youâve been working for years, and yet you never got caught until this last one. What happened?â
âWell, the mechanics on the locks changed, and I was completely fucked.â He said, defeated. âJust like now. You would not happen to have a hairpin on you, would you?â Napoleon batted his long eyelashes and flashed a smile that made you weak for only a moment.
Why on earth did you want to reach up and take a hairpin from your hair for him? This is how he won, pure seduction. âYou are, sir, completely fucked. They would like you to serve seven years under the FBI as an agent, youâd be paid. Youâd be under watch, and youâd have to not break the law.â
âI can tolerate everything but the last one,â He smirked the charm radiated off him even in chains.
âIt should be easy, I can even push for five years instead of seven because they have no substantial proof that one of the charges was you.â You pushed the file over, displaying the empty vault in Italyâs finest museum. They had tossed this gem in just to place a name on it, there was nothing substantial tying him to it, just accusations.
âI like you. Will you be around if I say yes.â
âI plan to not be around Mr. Solo.â You snickered, pulling it away from him. âI do not make it a habit of hanging around art thieves.â
âPity.â He paused, twiddling with his fingers. âI make it a habit of hanging around precious art.â
 The Ship:
Napoleon, once free, does make it a habit of seeing you regularly. He appears at your office with thank you flowers the week after he is free. Tries to give you a necklace but you are not sure to trust jewelry from him
Persistently displays his interests in you even though you have told him no. Buys you dinner. Walks you home from work. Starts small conversations with you about everything until you have fallen into a routine with him and you are dating
The first kiss is unexpected but clearly one of the best days of your lives.
He continually works out of the country, but that doesnât stop him from sending you postcards and love letters.
Convinces you to come with him on a trip and you get to witness him in action on a case, youâre terrified, but he is the greatest at his job
Unsure of his friendship with the Russian, but after witnessing, some of their fights realize they are iconic and like them together.
He proposes under the night sky in Paris and flies you to Bora Bora to get married. The honeymoon turns into a mission, and youâre mad at first but get over it once you realize heâs just protecting you
Relationship with Napoleon Includes:
Random fights that always end with him staring at you and saying you win
Apology letters sent after he does something foolish and cannot take it back, like the one time he accidentally blew up the house.
Flying you to random places and dressing you in the latest fashion, matching clothes- because you know heâs suave af
Long kisses and constant cuddling
Public displays of Affection, mainly because heâs jealous which is odd because his job always leads to him half seducing someone for information
One kid and then he retires, you wonder why he has money, and you find out there are over twenty million dollars of stolen art under your house
For Ship requests, they can be submitted via Asks if paid by Venmo (laketaj30) Cashapp (laketaj30). If you prefer to use Ko-Fi HERE is the Link. Ko-Fi will then tell you the same guidelines below! The ships I create will be 500-700 words and specialized for you. Guaranteed within 7 days, and I keep open communication during that time. This is helping me get back to school, and I appreciate all donations.

I had this friend I met in the Hetalia fandom in like 8th-9th grade who was like, a lot older than me (I was like 12-13 when we met and she was like 17 or so), and we were REALLY close for a really long time, we'd talk and call every day and it got to a point where she was really dependent on me in this awful way where she would like constantly threaten suicide if I didn't answer her texts fast enough and shit like that. She was really rich cuz her dad was a doctor and one time she bought me an entire fucking Xbox One (I did not ask for it like... I'd always been a PlayStation gamer LOL) because she didn't have anyone to play Halo with her. My family still has it and uses it as a DVD player/Netflix machine.
Anyway the really batshit thing about this person (BESIDES the fact that she was like, definitely a pedophile who loved shota and frequently sexted me after she'd turned 18+ and I was like 14 and she also had both a bestiality and incest fetish that she'd talk to me about constantly â I was a kid I had no moral concept of anything and just liked being edgy and feeling mature) was that she was like. A chronic liar who constantly faked identities. And for years after cutting off contact with her I would look back and realize that she had faked even more than I had noticed at the time. The thing is, I knew for sure she wasn't lying about her home life -- Her address, what she looked like, her dad's profession, her age, her house, her pets, etc, were all things I had proof of. But when I knew her she was constantly remaking her Tumblr to escape drama she'd start, and she would constantly make side blogs under pseudonyms and pretend it wasn't her (sometimes it would be random shit like aesthetic blogs under different names or ask blogs for characters or smthn, other times it was like, callout blogs for people she had gotten into drama with where she would pretend to be someone else defending her). I assumed back then that I was always going to be in on it, because she would always tell me whenever she made one of these fake accounts, and sometimes she would encourage me to make a new account too as a sort of roleplay thing where we both pretended to be people we weren't... Until I learned that she wasn't always telling me. Every so often, I would become mutuals with a new account who would start messaging me about my interests and strike a conversation with me. Then something would slip and my "new mutual" would admit that they had actually been my friend all along... Which should have made me immediately cut contact because that's weird as shit, but I was young and she was a close friend, so I would just sorta accept it.
She ended up being like, horrifically transphobic. She got run off her blog twice for being specifically transmisogynistic, first insisting that she was allowed to headcanon canon trans women as feminine men and then on her next blog insisting that lesbians couldn't be attracted to trans women. I was still young and closeted and she was one of my closest friends and was constantly messaging me that the situation was making her suicidal and she was just wording things wrong and totally supported trans people and people just werenât giving her the benefit of the doubt and she was still learning so I tried to just stay out of it without losing her. Then... I came out as trans lol. She stopped replying to me when I first came out and then made a bunch of vents on her tumblr about how much it upset her and about how âusing he/him pronouns for AFAB people is triggeringâ for whatever fucking reason. She told me her âbest IRL friendâ who she had introduced me to once on Skype but who never logged in again after and who refused to ever do a group call or anything (definitely another fake account) said that it was irrational for me to expect my friends to respect my pronouns so soon after coming out and that I shouldnât be upset if I get misgendered. Then she apologized but told me my name and pronouns would never fit me. As you can imagine, as a little baby trans kid who was closeted from my family and terrified of even having come to terms with being trans, I didnât really have a great defense.
Soon she started being really woke like 2014 style Tumblr SJW to save face, she came out as nonbinary and told me in private it was because she felt bad when people called her cis during discourse (she absolutely wasn't nonbinary) and she coined a "new sexuality" that was "attraction only to people you perceive as feminine, regardless of how they identify" -- what this actually meant was "attraction to cis women and not trans women." She ran an aroace help blog despite not being aroace? And made a bunch of pride flags that I still see around sometimes to this day. She would start fights a lot and try to out-woke people and got into a bunch of drama with other SJW types of the day, got into a bunch of drama with TumblrInAction and Mogai-Watch and shit like that, and she claimed for a short while that she had a headmate (FWIW I totally believe DID is a legitimate thing but like. Trust me on this one.) who was transphobic and that it made her so sad, she told me that it was actually that headmate that had been transphobic before, and every so often her headmate would front out of nowhere and misgender me and use really abusive language like calling me a cunt or a bitch or whatever. She started making these "intersex nonbinary" OCs who she would constantly make porn of under the guise that they were representation for LGBT people who were just like, extremely fetishistic cuntboys and dickgirls (they were âintersexâ to explain why they could be âgirls with natal penisesâ or âboys with natal vaginasâ).
At that same time, she somehow always managed to have these random, very sporadically active trans women mutuals who were apparently amazing friends of hers, who shared some interests with her but also would defend her when people brought up her past, with these long-winded âWell, Iâm a trans woman and I think what she said is perfectly justified and everyone makes mistakes and sheâs always been a good ally!!â Then one day some trans woman received an ask from her account where she claimed to be a âblack trans womanâ (she was, of course, a white cis woman) and she freaked out and claimed she had âbeen hacked by TiA or 4Chan to make her look badâ â I realize now she had just been sending anon messages pretending to be things she wasnât and forgot to hit anon LOL. Late in all of this she also got into a bunch of hot water for being really antisemitic and saying she didnât trust Jewish people because they were just like Christians and like, 5 seconds later she came out as Jewish and wrote this whole long sad vent about how she had had internalized antisemitism and then started going by a random Hebrew name LMAO.
In the end the final breaking point was when I found her secret TERF blog, where she had been making posts for months about how trans men are just insecure women who are trying to escape misogyny by stepping on the backs of âfellow womenâ and using me as a fucking example, and also saying that me not coming out as a trans man had been âbasically rapeâ since she had been SEXTING me when she was 18+ and I was 13-14+ and that it was traumatic to know someone she had trusted was secretly identifying as a man LMAO. She was also obviously saying all sorts of transmisogynistic things, but also had these really bizarre fetish posts about wanting trans women to fuck her...? I confronted her about it and she literally fucking out of nowhere told me that she was in the emergency room with a mysterious illness that might kill her and she was allowed to have her phone but due to privacy laws couldnât send a picture as proof. While âin the hospitalâ she deleted the TERF blog and her personal blog. I had known her for literal YEARS at this point (we had met when I was 12-13 or so and by the time we no longer spoke I was a few months from 17), and I was completely stunned to fucking hear this person trying to pull âIâm in the hospital with a deadly diseaseâ at being confronted for some shit like that LMAO. I made a post about it on my public and another âtrans woman friendâ of hers logged in to vehemently defend her by saying that thereâs nothing wrong with AFAB women being untrusting of trans people because female oppression is uniquely traumatic and that thereâs nothing wrong with women expressing their sexuality by sexting minors as long as the minor consents and that I was the real predator for âhiding that I was a manâ (remember, Iâd been a 13 year old closeted trans boy), before never logging in again... đ One of the last times we ever talked was when she demanded I refund her for the fucking Xbox and I refused.
Anyway, the long-term aftermath of that is that a few people online (in some random cringe areas of the internet) who archived some of her antics still think that I also wasnât a real person, since they caught onto how much she lied about too, so they think I was also a sock puppet and I have no interest in clarifying and making myself known to those people LOL. I have no fucking idea where she is now, she deactivated everything after her being a TERF came out. Thereâs like, so much more to that I could say because I knew her for YEARS and, like I said, she was one of my âclosest friends.â Her parents had wildly expensive pure bred designer dogs that she would make Vines of. She wrote Beatles real person fan fiction. For her birthday one year I made her a shirt on Zazzle with an inside joke about one of her OCs... does she still have that? Either way, she was easily the most batshit person Iâve ever known closely online and I will forever associate the Hetalia fandom with people like that.

Happy NHPC Day!
âąââąââąââąââą
Chapter 2
âąââąââąââąââą
Spideypool / Peter Parker + Wade Wilson
Warnings: None, unless you click the first link in this chapter. Itâs just a flower, but itâs mildly NSFW?
Word Count: 4,862
âąââąââąââąââą

âąââąââąââąââą
A/N: Heyy... đ
It's way past Feb. 15th now, but the 15th was my brother's 15th birthday, and I got roped into the activities (for the literal first time in 10 years lmao), then later that evening there was a power outage due to a huge wind storm. As for the rest of the days, I kinda just... didn't post the finished product for some reason? Like, I rewrote this thing, like, four times (and I still hate this but it's whatever at this point I guess), then I thought I posted it on the 16th but didn't?? So I was checking my other work and saw this was uncompleted?? So here! Take the late chapter! Better late than never I guess? đ
đ
âąââąââąââąââą
{ Yellow } [ White ]
âąââąââąââąââą
    The first and only thing Wade notices when he wakes up is that Peter is still in his arms. He rubs his face along Peterâs bare back and neck, enjoying the warmth and softness of his skin.
    [ Thatâs strange. Heâs usually up early. ]
    { Yea. One of those nasty âEarly to bed, Early to riseâ people. Honestly, donât they see the appeal of nighttime? }
    The second thing Wade notices when he wakes up are those fucking boxes, and the blissful âI just woke up and canât remember muchâ feeling is gone instantly.
    { Uh, rude! }
    [ No, thatâs fair. Youâre an idiot ]
    { Again, rude! And hypocritical! }
    He ignores them both in favor of hugging his boyfriend tighter. Once he does, Peter exits out of whatever app he had on his phone and rolls over in his arms so their noses almost touch.
    âGood morning.â he says lowly, looking like he just woke up but sounding like heâs been up for a while. He must have just never gotten out of bed.
    âMmm⊠Morninâ hot stuff.â Wade canât resist kissing him sweetly. âWhat has you in bed still? Hm?â
    Peter smiles, and it lights up his beautiful brown eyes. Whoever says that brown eyes arenât beautiful can go fuck themselves. Peter is living proof that eyes like that may as well be the most delicious chocolate, theyâre so alluring.
    [ I donât think youâd describe chocolate as alluring⊠]
    { Speak for yourself. My problem is that now I canât stop thinking about that trend where couples would lick each otherâs eyeballs. Please donât tell me youâre going to do that to Petey, are you? }
    [ Even I know to have more confidence in him than that. Maybe. ]
    âDidnât people die from that? Or go blind?â Wade murmurs out loud, knowing Peter doesnât care when he does.
    âWhat did?â he asks back.
    âPeople licking other peopleâs eyeballs.â
    Peter gets that look on his face that he denies having. The one that says âI really wanna question where that came from because that was completely random and unrelated to our conversation, but I also donât want to know the answer because Iâm scared of the rabbit trail that lead you to it.â He rarely asks how he got to whatever topic he randomly brought up, but he always humors Wade and answers him as if he was talking to him and not the voices in his head.
    His expression turns to one of hesitant acceptance. âWhat are you talking about?â
    âWhen people were licking each otherâs eyeballs for that one trend.â
    Peter just nods. âI think people went blind, but I donât think anyone died. It was a risk, but wasnât that back in, like, 2013 or something?â
    Wade shrugs and kisses Peter again. âDunno. Yellow mentioned it cause your eyes look like chocolate. No worries, though, licking eyes is nasty.â he adds at Peterâs concerned and disgusted look.
    âGood, cause Iâd never allow it.â
    âSame here.â
    Thereâs a minute of peaceful, comfortable silence before Peter breaks it.
    âWhy the hell do all of our morning conversations end up like this?â
    [ Because you have even less of a filter than you normally do, which shouldnât even be possible, but it is. Honestly, itâs terrifying. ]
    âWhite says itâs because we have less of a head to mouth filter than normal when weâre first waking up.â Wade paraphrases.
    Peter nods again, âYeah⊠Itâs probably a good thing you rarely see me when I first get up.â
    { He probably says some really cute things! Or maybe it would be much dirtier ;) }
    [ I canât tell if you said âcolon end parenthesisâ out loud or just implanted a picture of a winky face in our heads and itâs making me uncomfortable. ]
    { Well technically you donât have a head to implant that to. And Iâll do whatever the hell I want, so the readers wonât even get to know the answer to your inquiry. }
    [ Ooo, big word for you. ]
    { Yeah, bigger than your tinyâ }
    âWade, are the voices bothering you?â Peter interrupts, causing Wade to smile.
    âNah, honey, theyâre bothering each other more than me.â
    He affectionately bumps his forehead on his Peterâs and leaves it there, basking in the warmth.
    { You should ask Peter! }
    âAsk him what?â Wade almost groans.
    { If he says cute or dirty thing, of course! }
    âNo. Later. âM warm.â
    { Pansy. }
    [ Right now he looks more like an Orchis italica than a Pansy, really. ]
    âDo I wanna know what those look like?â
    âWhat?â Peter pulls back.
    { Yesss! Nirlan left the links there for a reason! }
    [ Who the fuck is Nirlan? ]
    { Gasp! How dare you not know the name of the author of this fanfic! }
    [ Thereâs so many authors and artists out there, how are we supposed to ever keep up with them? ]
    âCan we not? Itâs too early to be breaking this many wallsâŠâ Wade complains because hot damn the boxes are getting annoying, and, quite frankly, theyâre taking over the fic at this point.
    The boxes donât even get to respond before Peter is on Wade, kissing him in a way that is neither soft nor chaste.
    âNeed a distraction?â he asks with that sexy smirk of his.
    âAlways.â
    { I guess itâs dirty things, heheh ;) }
    [ I swear to godâ ]
âąââąââąââąââą
    âAnd youâre sure that two hours is enough time for you to browse around? And you wonât get something absurdly expensive, even though we can afford it?â Peter asks for the third time right before they split up. Wade doesnât even blame him for asking. They both know how he can get sometimes when shopping without a list.
    âI promise I wonât get distracted and show up three hours late with nothing or too much to show for it.â He hesitates, âWell, I canât promise on the late part, but if I am late, Iâll have a really good present to make up for it!â He says it in his usual joking manner, but they both know that heâll be on time unless something super-vigilante-y (âcause he may be super, but he ainât no hero) happens.
    Peter smiles in a way he can only describe as fond. Wade remembers when he was shocked every time he saw it on the otherâs face, back when their relationship was newer and Wadeâs self-esteem at an almost all-time low. Now, though, it only brings a rush of warmth. This person, this beautiful, humble, kind, strong man loves himâ Him! A mess of a barely-if-at-all-human being that used to kill a shit ton of people for money and fun (even though they were all baddies, it still goes against the âSpidey Codeâ)â enough to smile all dopily at seemingly random times. Like, how did he ever get so lucky? What did he do in his past life do deserve such a sweet reward for going through the horrors he has?
    [ Maybe itâs less about previous lives and more about karma. You used to be an asshole and killed almost indiscriminately, so karma punished you. But then you started killing only people who had no right being alive, and here we are. ]
    { White! Did you just call Wade a good person! I thought you didnât care! }
    [ Shut the hell up. The only thing I did was say that maybe karma realized that it went a little too far. I meanâ ]
    âWade, you alright?â Peter voices, holding Wadeâs wrist and looking far more concerned than he should.
    âYeah.â He shakes his head. âYeah, actually. I think White just indirectly called me a good person.â
    [ I did fucking not! ]
    âOr, well, that Iâm a good enough person now that karma decided I deserved one last good thing after all the shit itâs been giving me all my life. But close enough, right?â
    And there goes Peter, smiling that same fond smile as before, even if it has a touch more worry in it than it did before. Wade practically melts.
    âOf course youâre a good person. I donât date just anyone, you know.â Peter kisses him quickly before letting go of his wrist. âNow we really should go get those presents. Meet back at the apartment in two hours, or sooner if we find something before then?â
    âYou know it.â Wade blows him a large kiss with a wink.
    Peter catches it in a fist, which he then kisses and puts in his pocket before turning around. Wade follows his lead and turns to jog across the street while the crosswalk sign is still green. The bounce in his step doesnât leave even as he slows to a casual stroll, or as casual as it can be in the middle of fucking New York City.
    God, never in a million years did he think heâd be a part of that couple. The couples who shamelessly blow kisses and make goo-goo eyes at each other in public. At least, not when itâs no longer the obnoxious honeymoon phase with someone he doesnât really care for and heâs trying to subtly drive them away. He and Peter certainly arenât in the honeymoon phase anymore, and Wade is actually trying his best to keep his boyfriend around for as long as possible this time before he inevitably ups and leaves.
    [ At least youâre self aware in that aspect. Nothing lasts forever. Even if you and him did, you realize that chances of you outliving him just because he ages is extremely likely, if not certain? ]
    { So you should get him a present now! A really, really good one! Not like your prank anniversary gift. }
    âHell no, nothing like that. I was cleaning slime and glitter for weeks.â
    [ It was only four days. ]
    âYeah. Like I said, weeks.â
    { So what should we get Peter? }
    [ We? ]
    { Yes we! I want to get him one too this time! Heâs the only person besides Wade who tries to talk to us! }
    [I suppose thatâs true⊠]
    Wade can practically feel White thinking this over, but he already knows that thereâs no swaying Yellow about this. He doubts (hopes) that Peter doesnât mind that they got him stuff too. He already has plenty of reminders that Wade is insane as it is.
    { A blanket wonât do! And he doesnât like stuffed animals like we do! }
    [ And he doesnât like shoes or socks around the house because he falls off the ceiling easier. Mittens and gloves are out of the picture for the same reason. ]
    Huh, so White is planning to get Peter something, then.
    [ If Iâm forced to, then a new camera. Itâs functional and heâs been wanting that new Canon one. ]
    That is very true. Back when he and Peter were first moving into their current apartment (which is way nicer than either of them had before, Wade because he had no self-respect, and Peter because he had no money) found his old camera and eventually got back into the hobby. When he bought a more professional upgrade so he could dabble in selling some of his stuff, it ended up having a built in flash that turned on whenever it was darker than âin direct sunlightâ unless he put it on the shitty âNo Flashâ setting. He returned it pretty quickly, but he still hasnât bought a new one yet.
    Fuck, that would have actually been a really cool gift idea, and if Whiteâs taking itâ
    [ Weâll share it. ]
    Wade stumbles in the middle of the sidewalk.. Did he just hear that right?
    { Holy shit, I think you did! }
    [ Fuck off. You guys are hopeless. This is an offer of pity. ]
    { And that sounded very tsundere of you. }
    [ And Iâm not going to grace that with a response. ]
    { Let it be known that White actually cares! }
    [ Do you never listen? ]
    Wade tunes the boxes out while they argue. As much as the camera is such a good ideaâ and he will be getting that; heâs on his way to a store he vaguely knows of to check for the one he thinks he remembers Peter wantingâ he doesnât like the idea of getting Peter something that White thought of before he did. It doesnât exactly shout âIâm a good boyfriendâ to buy something someone else suggested, even if heâs positive he would have thought of it eventually, if given some time.
    By the time he reaches the store, interrogates a knowledgeable employee and the internet for what the best Canon camera for Peter might be, buys a camera, extra lenses, a small, foldable camera stand, a reflector of the same variety, and a large, red and grey camera bag, and walks out of the store with several bags, the boxes have moved on from arguing and are strangely into the whole gift-giving thing. It was actually Yellowâs idea to get the stand and backpack, and Whiteâs idea to get the extra lenses.
    He finds an empty alleyway to dump all of this stuff out and organize the goods into the backpack. Heâs not stupid, he knows that alleys are usually where various crimes happen, but heâs also not so stupid as to let someone sneak up on him, either. This alley is completely empty, and it will stay that way either because no one comes around, or he returns it to its empty state. No oneâs stealing his baby boyâs Half-Priced Candy Day present on his watch.
    It doesnât take nearly as long to organize everything into and on the bag as Wade thought. Just put the default lense on the body of the camera and stuff that and the charger into the biggest hole in the bag, the other lenses get caps on both ends and they get put in the smaller ones. The reflector get is put on top of those and the bag still closes just fine, and the collapsible stand can be strapped to the side of this particular bag. He tosses all the boxes and bags into the nearby dumpster after pulling the camera bag on like a backpack and heâs ready to go.
    He casually heads out and starts making his way towards Target. That place usually has unique games that he and Peter sometimes play with a couple of other friends. That, and they usually have sinfully soft pillows, blankets, and sheets. He would get an indoor hammock chair, but they donât own their current apartment and he doesnât want to risk ruining the ceiling in order to hang it up. Besides, he doesnât feel like carrying something like that back from Target by foot.
    [ So by process of elimination, youâre getting yet another soft blanket or pillow? ]
    âListen, I donât need your sass. There is no such thing as too many soft things, and Peter completely agrees.â he responds out loud. He is far beyond not giving a fuck about what other people (who arenât Peter, of course) think about him.
    { That may be so, but, like, this is your chance to buy matching onesies? }
    âPeter doesnât like onesies. They get too hot for him too fast, and they usually fall under the âno shoes or socksâ thing.â Wade gasps, âGloves! He doesnât like gloves because they cover his fingertips!â
    [ Yes, we all knew this Wadeïżœïżœ ]
    âSo finger-less gloves should be fine, right? I could buy a pair or two or seven for him!â
    { All different colors and patterns! And theyâre still soft! }
    Wade hums happily as he skips into Target. He walks in with the resolve to buy at least five pairs of finger-less gloves, but probably more. After a while of looking around and mild complaining and raving, though, he ends up walking out with two pairs of finger-less gloves (one black and one mitten-convertible pair that are navy blue), an expansion pack for Exploding Kittens, some discount candy, a case of Peterâs favorite soda, and a grey teddy bear that is soft soft he couldnât not get it (he made sure to get the one with the wonky face, though, because he and Peter always grab the ones with âpersonalityâ).
    A glance at his watch tells him that heâs already 15 minutes late, and he still has to walk home.
    âShit!â
âąââąââąââąââą
    Wade bursts through the apartment door, panting. Sprinting up the stairs instead of waiting a minute for the elevator probably wasnât the best call.
    âPeter?â he calls out before he even gets inside.
    âIâll be right out!â he hears from their bedroom.
    He heaves a sigh, closing the door behind him.
    âIâm sorry, I didnât realize I took so long.â he says at a normal, indoor volume, knowing Peter can still hear him clear as day, âI really didnât mean to be late this time, but when I finally got out of Target I was already ten minutes late and I didnât want to run and accidentally drop something, yâknow?â
    Peter walks out of the bedroom, and Wade notes how he carefully kept the door closed just enough to where he canât see inside.
    { Ooo!! I wonder what it is! Maybe a new comforter? }
    [ God, thereâs no more fucking room in the closet for this shit. ]
    âHi, honey.â Wade greets softly. His face feels warm and soft, so he knows heâs making heart-eyes at Peter, but he just canât help it!
    âHey, love.â Peter greets back, stepping forward and taking Wadeâs face in his hands.
    They meet in the middle in a soft kiss, then lean each otherâs foreheads against one another. It makes Wade suddenly aware of how much he missed Peter. Like, he normally isnât this clingy, but NHPC day is meant for sleeping and cuddles and all Petey time.
    âAs much as I liked trying to find surprises for you, I donât think I want to do this again.â
    Peter hums, getting Wadeâs unspoken message. âI agree. I missed you, too.â
    They stand there for a while, swaying slightly together with Peter cupping his cheeks and Wade pressing as close to his other as he can without the bags becoming awkward to hold. Peter kisses his nose, then both of his cheekbones, then his cheeks, then his mouth and lingers there. When they pull away, Peter takes a step back.
    âSo, whatâs all this?â
    He wrings his hands together as he tries to inspect the bags. Heâs nervous or anxious about something, and, honestly, Wade doesnât blame him for being worried about whatâs in the numerous bags. Not after their last anniversary and April Fools, anyway.
    âNothing bad, I promise. Should we move this to the bed?ââ
    âCouch is fine!â Peter says a tad too enthusiastically and spins to go sit on the couch.
    Well, that just means there's something in the bedroom, but he can be patient if itâs for his Petey.
    He settles everything onto the floor before sliding the bag off of his back and handing it to Peter. The vigilante stares at it with wide eyes, and takes it extremely carefully, as if the bag will fall apart if he so much as moves it too fast.
    âSo, normally, people open the biggest thing last so they arenât disappointed with everything else, butâŠâ
    Peter takes the hint and sets it on the ground so he can unzip it and open the flap. He removes the round reflector and suddenly freezes. Wade canât tell if itâs a good freeze or a bad one, and that in itself is decidedly not good.
    âI donât know if this camera is too advanced or too shitty for you so...â Wade trails off again, not sure what to say.
    Peter picks up the camera and inspects it. He tries to turn it on, but it still needs to be charged, so he assumes the screen remains black. He flips it around to look at it and uncap the lense, flips it back to hold it and maybe find the buttons. He looks through the camera and manually adjusts the focus. After that, he adjusts the focus back to where it was, puts the camera safely back into the bag.
    A split second later, Wade has a lap and armful of Peter.
    âWoah! Okay, I take it you like it?â Wade curls his arms around Peterâs middle while his abdomen, in return, is squeezed.
    âThank you.â Peter whispers into his neck.
    Wade squeezes him tighter. âYouâre welcome, love.â
    Upon hearing the seldom-used name, Peter kisses Wade one more time. It quickly becomes much less than innocent, and as much as Wade is loving this, he still has a few other gifts to give, and at least one thing to get in return.Therefore, he reluctantly pulls away, softly stopping Peter from following his lips.
    âYou still have a couple gifts from me.â
    Peter does not move. âDescribe them.â
    Damn if Wade doesnât like it when Peter gets like this. Any other time he would have given in to that sinful look on the otherâs face, but not this time. Heâll prove he has at least some self control.
    âAs much as I would love toâ and I really wouldâ I wanna see your reaction to two of the other things I got.â
    Peter huffs and sits back with a slight pout. âFine.â
    He quickly eyes the Target bags and gathers his presents. He politely thanks Wade for buying the candy and soda because he didnât have time to for a reason he didnât state. He finds the expansion pack and smiles at it, and challenges Wade to a game as soon as theyâre done with gifts and snuggles. Then he finds the bear with the wonky face.
    âI actually got you something similar to this.â
    He seems nervous again, almost more so than before. It has Wade becoming concerned.
    âHey, you know itâs alright if all you got me was a stuffie, right?â He reaches over and grabs Peterâs hand. âIt isnât a competition.â
    He smiles fondly in return. âI know.â He gets up and offers Wade a hand. âTime for my presents.â
    Wade accepts his hand, but barely uses it to get up. Peter doesnât let go once heâs standing on his own and the ex-merc finds himself being led to the bedroom.
    { What do you think itâs going to be! I vote for the room being covered in petals and Peter offering himself as a gift! }
    [ Peter has stated many times that he has more dignity than that, so no. ]
    { Aww, youâre such a party pooper⊠I can still dream, you know! }
    [ Thatâs what I worry about the most. ]
    { Hey! }
    Peter opens their bedroom door and what Wade finally sees inside almost makes his jaw drop.
    There are colored fairy lights strung up simply around the room, just like heâs always wanted, but either forgot the lights or lacked the motivation to try setting it up. The bed is made with a new bed set that is predominantly apple red with accents of maroon, and when Wade strokes his hand across it, it is extremely soft, but doesnât feel like itâll overheat them and irritate his scars. On the center of the bed are a little Spiderman and Deadpool tsum tsum-looking plushies laying right next to each other. Itâs perfect.
    âHow did you even have time to do all of this?â Wade asks as he takes in the lights while stroking the comforter.
    âI was banking on you being a bit late, actually.â Peter clears his throatâ another obvious show of nerves. âDo you like it?â
    âI love it.â Wade doesnât hesitate, âThis is beautiful. Where did you even find all this?â
    âUh, you know, at the store.â Peter sounds more anxious than before, so Wade turns around to ensure that everything is perfectâ
    This canât be happening. Wade feels his eyes widen and his jaw properly drop. This canât be real. Thereâs no way.
    { This isnât another hallucination, is it? }
    [ I donât think so. No one is trying to kill us. ]
    Peter is on one knee right in front of him. Those stupidly handsome eyes flicker around his face, and his shoulders are tense in a way that broadcasts heâs nervous. Theyâre standing in their gorgeous room thatâs in their shared apartment, theyâre both in the comfiest clothes that are still appropriate to go out in public in, and Peter is kneeling in front of him while holding out a ring thatâs made of rose gold with a large, deep-red center gem with tiny black ones swirling around it.
    This canât be fucking real. This is way too good to beâ
    âJudging by your face, this is completely unexpected, but this is something I just realized recently that Iâve been wanting for a while. And I know it doesnât make any sense, but I think you know what Iâm talking about anyway.â
    Peter didnât ask for a response or acknowledgement, but Wade nods anyway. He understands the feeling. Peterâs gaze moves to the walls and the floor, purposefully avoiding Wade now. That isnât a great sign.
    âLike, everyone else I dated I kinda new from the start wouldnât last? But with you, everything feels natural, and we work really well together, in suits and out of them, and I justâ I was thinking about something or other, and I imagined trying to live a life that didnât have you in it, and I couldnât do it. As disgustingly cheesy as this is going to sound, I donât think I can live without you anymore, at least without it being torturous, âcause youâre the one who literally knows the most about me and you help me stay away from especially bad habits but donât treat me like a child when I do something stupid. And, like, the only way you can leave my life permanently is if we broke upâ well I guess we could still technically get a divorce, or you could just say ânoâ right now and break up with me eventuallyââ
    âYes.â Wade hears himself say, quietly. Peter doesnât register it, so Wade doesnât try to use words again. Heâs too caught up in his head. He kneels down to Peterâs height and reaches around Peterâs outstretched hands to cup his cheeks. Peter blinks, looks into Wadeâs eyes, and lowers the ring closer to their chests, but never stops speaking.
    ââbut anyway. Youâre actually the best thing thatâs happened to me since Spiderman and it would really mean the world and more to me if you sayââ
    Wade cuts him off with a slow, soft kiss. He slowly pulls away when his own smiling makes it too hard to continue, but keeps their faces close.
    âYes.â
    Peter blinks hopefully. âYes?â
    Wade yanks him into a tight hug. âOf course! Why would I ever say no?â Actually, donât answer that. But god, yes! Fuck, I love you so much!â Wade suddenly pulls back. âLemme see the ring! How did you even get something this nice on such short notice?â
    Peter takes his left handâ and oh, if that doesnât send a pleasant thrill up his spine then he doesnât know what willâ and gently slides the ring onâ actually, that right there wouldâ and then doesnât let go of his hand.
    The ring looks more feminine on his finger than it did in the little, velvet box, but if anyone knows Wade, itâs that he doesnât give a flying fuck. He actually really loves it. Itâs rather unique, especially compared to the classic âwhite diamond(s) on a silver bandâ engagement rings. And while Wade would have loved a ring like that if Peter got him one, he probably would have only liked it for what it symbolized, rather than actually liking the ring itself like he does this one.
    âI did some research during the late night patrols yesterday, and found this one online this morning before you were up. I just went to pick it up after it got sized.â
    âItâs beautiful.â
    âI was worried it wasnât flashy enoughââ
    âNonsense, Peter!â he exaggerates an accent.
    ââthen I was worried it was too flashy for just in case you wanted to wear it under your Deadpool suitââ
    âOf course I will!â
    ââand I didnât want it to irritate your scars, but, again, I didnât want to be super simple or flat. That just isnât the Spiderman and Deadpool way, after all.â
    âNo, it really isnât.â he confirms fondly.
    Wade looks back down at the ring. It hasnât quite hit him yet that theyâre officially engaged.
    âSoâŠâ Wade starts seductively, âHow about we try out these new sheets?â
    Peter perks up. âSnuggle day time?â
    Wadeâs smile turns into a large grin. âYou go get the candy and soda, Iâll rearrange the pillows.â
    âMaximum effort!â Peter says as he jumps up to sprint out of the room.
    Wade gets up too. âHey! Thatâs my thing! And this is mediocre effort at best!â
    As Peterâs laugh rings pleasantly through the apartment, all Wade can think is that this is hopefully going to be the rest of his life. Heâll get to have moments like these for years and years to come, snuggles and candy with someone he loves and someone who loves him back for years and years to come. And since the boxes arenât arguing anything, that must mean itâs true on some level, at least.

I learned the hard way that when I am out and my friend says WHO WANTS TO DO SHOTS if my immediate answer is yes, it should be no, because I never want to take a shot unless I am already too drunk.Â
:: had glasses or contacts: I have both! Iâve had glasses since the first grade and I got contacts in the 7th grade, which I prefer because I like seeing in my peripheral.
:: had sex on the first date: well as a Virgin TM, no
:: broken someoneâs heart: Yes, and I am not sorry OOP

:: laughed until u cried: Yes and its one of my favorite emotions
:: met someone who changed u: I think everyone we truly get to know and meet changes us in some way.
:: found out who your true friends were:Â Yes and that shit hurted
:: found out someone was talking about you: Probably, I am pretty oblivious to things like that, so I could genuinely never realize.Â
:: lips or eyes: Eyes I guess. Iâve never thought about it but I guess I think more about eyes than lips when it comes to a person.Â
:: hugs or kisses: Kisses are great but HUGS hit DIFFERENT. You can kiss random people and it means nothing except hey youâre hot, but THE THOUGHT of the person I love hugging me tight EUPHORIC
:: romantic or spontaneous: Spontaneous romantic gestures
:: hookup or relationship: Relationship, even though like to think Iâm a bad bitch that canât be locked down, I also need to be comfortable with a person before I can be intimate.
:: first best friend: from birth until the beginning of high school, growing apart from her was worse than any break-up Iâve ever had and I still think about how my mom held me in the car while I cried about the end of our friendship.Â
:: surgery: nope
:: sports i joined: I did Softball and basketball until high school, played JV volleyball for one year in the 8th grade, and then after that I was a Cheerleader.
:: do u believe in yourself: Sometimes. Recently when Fall semester ended I thought I did really poorly on my final papers, but when I presented in both classes people were really impressed. I had even started to wonder if trying to get my PhD was unrealistic. I think it was the reminder I needed that I am smart and strong and I can do most things if I set my mind to them, so Iâm dedicated to believing in myself in 2020.
:: miracles: I donât know. Maybe. I hate to take a strong stance and say no, but Iâve also never seen one.Â

:: heaven: I was raised religious but idk man. Itâs crazy because of how strongly I felt about this 6 years ago.
:: do u have any pets: My parents have a dog that I lived with until 6 months ago and I have a cat. I want another cat uwu.

What weird food combinations do you enjoy? Iâm willing to experiment mayonnaise with most food. I also dip my fries in hot fudge sundae and because Iâm Filipino I have to have my fried chicken paired with banana ketchup. Where do you get your news? Usually from the Twitter and Facebook handles of my go-to news outlets. My dad is also the only one who turns on the TV in the dining area so whenever heâs home and watches the evening news I get to hear the reports as well. What social stigma does society need to get over? HIV/AIDS, dating or marrying the same sex, tattoos... even breastfeeding is a fucking stigma lmao. So many people are babies. What is the best/worst prank that you've played on someone? I hate being the victim of pranks so I never pull them on anyone. What was the last photo you took? My dog jumping up to ask for food last night.
What makes you roll your eyes every time you hear it? Lately our president has been wanting to give nightly addresses on TV every midnight so when I hear another announcement from the government I just roll my eyes because I know itâs gonna be another hour-long speech that not only has absolutely zero substance to it, but made everyone unnecessarily stay up that late. What are you currently worried about? Iâm worried about my remaining academic requirements. With the suspension of online classes and the lockdown being extended until April 30 (which is virtually the end of the semester), I have no idea whatâs gonna become of our academic calendar and my grades â and the status of my graduation.
A notable school in the country already mass-promoted (read: passed) all their students and is planning to give tuition fee refunds since only two months of the sem were used. Itâs honestly the most responsible thing to do for now and I hope all other universities follow suit.
Do you think aliens exist? I believe we arenât the only ones alive out here but I also donât think they look like the creatures books or movies have made them out to be. What mythical creature do you wish actually existed? Meh, was never a fan of anything mythical/mythological. What are you interested in that most people aren't? Pro wrestling. In my 15 years of being a fan Iâve only found literally a handful of people (at least who are also Filipino) who shared the same passion or amount of interest as I have. Itâs just never been a popular topic or fanbase here so I never get to bring it up â and Iâm afraid to bring it up because people seem to judge anyone still into wrestling these days. What's the most ridiculous thing you have bought? My most pointless purchase was a pink bar of soap with lettering that says âGay Bar.â Itâs a novelty item at best and I never needed to buy it, but I had money that day so I did and now itâs gathering dust in one of my drawers. What sounds hit you with major nostalgia every time you hear them? The PS1 start-up noise is a big candidate. If given the oppurtunity to open a museum, what kind would you create? They have museums about everything now, so I think itâd be a good idea to turn to my roots and make an ancestral house instead and have it in our home province. My family has a rich history and itâd be a waste if we allowed ourselves to forget. When was the last time you immediately regretted what you said? I think last night? We were having pork belly bought from outside for dinner and I was talking about how good it tasted and that it was the best thing Iâve had in a while. I forgot my dad has been cooking us a different meal every single day since the quarantine started and they all have tasted amazing as well. After I realized what I said I felt like shit and immediately downplayed the pork belly so that he didnât feel left out. What's the silliest thing you've seen someone get upset about? My mom is a champion of this list lmao, thereâs so much stupid shit sheâs thrown a fit over. The most ridiculous one happened last year when my sister sprained her ankle and my mom would not help her walk around and even walked faster than the rest of us. It was like she was purposely leaving us behind, which confused and pissed me off. Anyway I was left assisting Nina as she hobbled on. Eventually I caught up to my mom and asked her to slow down and to be with us and to help my sister walk. Apparently it was enough to piss her off and the whole ride home she was yelling at me and legitimately sobbing about how humiliated she was when I called her out because she thinks people overheard and are judging her for it. I mean if youâre afraid of getting judged isnât that proof you know you did something shitty?
The sermon also turned personal and she started screaming about how I was a horrible daughter and that Iâve never done anything right, and that I was a disappointment, and that I was straying further from God everyday and she could see the horns growing on my head. Howâs that for abusive? What was the best thing that happened to you today? I finally finished the level Iâve been stuck on in Mario Kart 8 and now Iâm officially done with the game. Iâve never finished any video game before so it feels pretty bitching!!!!!!!!! Do you consider yourself a good cook? I donât even consider myself a cook. What's the dumbest thing someone has argued with you about? ^ The thing I just talked about, even though it wasnât technically an argument because my mom didnât let me talk throughout.
The next dumbest thing I could think of is probably when my grown-ass aunt fought me back when I was 13 on whether BeyoncĂ© lip-syncs or not. It was a random family discussion and I was just talking about how much I like BeyoncĂ© and she not only stole my thunder by picking a fight with me, but she also made me feel bad about something I loved lol. She was so insistent that she lip-syncs and was so hungry for an argument, I didnât understand why?????? so I just dropped it and rolled my eyes at my dad. ITâS SO DUMB RIGHT What did you google last? Information I needed for an article Iâm currently writing. What fashion trend makes you cringe or laugh everytime you see it? Skirts paired with either denim jeans or leggings, and short vests. All the Disney stars wore them and it was the epitome of fashion for us at the time aaaahhhhhhahahahahaha. What's your favorite holiday movie? LOVE ACTUALLY. For sure. Iâd also say Itâs A Wonderful Life but it has some very low points that ruins the Christmas-yness for me. How ambitious are you? Iâm pretty ambitious and also a bit of a perfectionist, but Iâm also aware of my limits and I donât always jump onto tasks feeling confident. I know what Iâm capable of so if Iâm faced with something I know other people can be better at, Iâll consciously be less ambitious at it cos I usually let my insecurity get in the way. What was the biggest realization you have had about yourself? As someone whoâs always thrived on being an introvert, the last few months and years have taught me that I CAN talk to people if I have to? And theyâre not scary? I had little hope for myself prior to my internship - but it ended up being fun and I met a lot of awesome new people. I also never thought Iâd get to write articles solely because I hate interviewing people - but my sources have all been nothing but nice to me. I guess what Iâm trying to say is Iâve always doubted my ability to talk to people and dive in to unfamiliar scenarios, but when I do either itâs always turned out to be great experiences for me.
What topic could you spend forever talking about? If weâre going for whatâs been the most recent hot topic, it would be the governmentâs incompetence in dealing with COVID-19 so far. Which way should toilet paper hang, over or under? Over. What word is a lot of fun to say? I dunno. I donât think of words in terms of how fun they are to say. Maybe curse words? HAHAHA If you didn't have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time? Assuming the internet is nothing to worry about, Iâd watch all the series Iâve long planned on watching but canât because Netflix does a big pull on the entire householdâs connection. Are you usually early or late? Early or on time. There is no âlateâ for me. What do you wish you knew more about? The future. Not knowing the answers to it is so irritating/boring to me. What is the most annoying question you've been asked? Asking if I go to rallies/am an activist/am part of the NPA just because of the school I come from. None of those things are bad at all, but Iâve always been annoyed at the stereotyping. How different was your life 1 year ago? I wasnât graduating yet then. And I was OUTSIDE MOST DAYS because there wasnât any fucking virus. What movie title best describes your life? Ferris Buellerâs Day Off, except I literally have to be stuck at home. What was the last lie you told? Telling my groupmates I had some family stuff at home to fix before getting started on our group project, but really I had to take a bath first because I wanted to feel fresh while working. Itâs a minor lie, but it still made me feel bad. What type of music do you listen to? Itâs usually varied but my go-to genres are indie pop, electropop, alternative rock, punk rock, *some* indie, R&B, and pop.
Are you a good listener? Yeah, itâs why I prefer to be one than a talker. What is your favorite milkshake flavor? Cookies and cream or some peanut butter/chocolate concoction. Do you think you're brave? I can be. Just not about everything. What are you most grateful for in your life? The relatively comfortable life we live considering where we live. And that covers everything from the food we eat, the schools weâve been sent to, where we get to travel (or the fact that we can travel at all), etc.
What was the worst phase in your life? My rebellious, no-one-understands-me, angsty teen phase when I was 12-13 and my time readjusting in college when I was 18-19. What is a relationship deal breaker for you? Verbal abuse. What are some things that give you complete peace of mind? Staying in coffee shops, driving at midnight, views of the skyline at night, staying on the rooftop at night and being under the stars... I just like a lot of things about the night. Would you like to explore another planet? Yesssssss. Who was your favorite cartoon character as a child? Spongebob. Cosmo from The Fairly Oddparents comes at a close second. What would you do if you were the president of your own country? Right now? Iâd assure people everything was being taken care of â mass testing, support for doctors, provision of PPEs and free transportation for frontliners, making all the senators (who are all expectedly not doing anything, save for one) work their asses off, put part of the P275B fund to assist middle- and lower-class people who canât  â instead of imposing shoot-to-kill orders for the military to anyone criticizing the government or rambling about absolutely fucking nothing in nation addresses.

Check-List for the Goals I settled for 2019
The funny mistake Iâve made earlier lead me think about what Iâve expected from 2019 when we started it. I found a list of the goals I made while we were entering the new yearâs and here is a realistic evaluation of how it went.
âą First of all, I wanted to manage my depressive episodes better. I wanted to have them less frequently. I wanted not to be absolutely crashed if a trigger hit me. Hereâs how it went with a rough statistics (yes, because Iâm a soon-to-be scientist, I actually made a graph of my own mood swings as if I am a test subject).
âïž January was absolutely terrible for me. I had so much anxiety because of a toxic relationship and I wasnât sure if I could ever live without that person. I failed two classes and withdraw a third one. I was super anxious about my internships. I wasnât sure if I wanted to be on the path I was and I was also having financial troubles. Also, one of my pet birds had passed away.
âïž February was the month I truly felt like something in me was changing for the better. I felt like something clicked after the winter breakâ when I was, in a funny way, forbidden from consuming sugar for three days. I used to eat a lot of sugar/sweets to cope with my stress back then, to the point I still amaze at myself for not being overweight, plus size, or developing diabetes; because I really was eating too much sweets. But then I had a conversation with my father that feels unworldy, and combinated with the tree days no sugar diet and beginning of the new semester I suddenly felt like, even if I couldnât fix everything, I could fix something. I had to start, regardless of how little. So I started by eating carefullyâ so significiantly less sugar consumed than I used to be, but I didnât force it all at once. So if I were eating 3 brownies a day I decreased it step by step to 2 brownies a day, one brownie a day, and... At November 2019, it is probably a brownie once in 15 days. With even more pleasure than eating 3 brownies at once. (Donât worry, I still let myself be free of eating whatever I want occassionally. Iâm taking care of my health). Anyway. I started to hit up gym in my college for first time ever. I was so painfully inconsistent, but I knew that much was to be expected, so instead of getting angry at myself for not being a regular I just appreciated myself for going despite not being a regular.
âïž March was a turnpoint. I decided to be bold enough to pursue my ex hobbies that I lost because of depression, one of them being writing. Iâve had a strong muse for Norman back then. I made a new account on Facebook. I knew no one, but to my luck I made so many friends. I drowned in NorRay ship with a very nice roleplay partner. I built new friendships away from the toxic partner of mine who was seriously causing a lot of damage on me. By the end of March we broke up andâ surprise, my world didnât end. I felt so refreshed, so alive, as if I was freed of my chains, and up until this day this feeling stands. I was more eager to pursue new hobbies, talk about my interests and do crazy shit instead of worrying my ex would think. I was happier. Much happier. This too, is still valid.
âïž April was... unworldly. Because something that relates to my society happened as a big improvement and I was extremely positively surprised. This feeling is valid up to this day as well.
âïž May... May was wild. I got kissed by a random stranger at the spring fest party. This fucking event lead me to write Conflict. Seriously. I built stronger friendships, online and offline, during this month. I felt truly connected.
âïž June!!! June was so weird! It was my first break after one or maybe two years of depression. It was my first free holiday in which I didnât reall feel like I was a waste of time, space, effort, money, etc. I got to walk around streets with a burden off my shoulders after so long. I got to look forward to the next days. The insecurities hit me up sometimes, but significantly less frequently, as I aimed in the beginning of the year. At this point I have had lost a good 5 kgs and had been eating very healthily too, and I was enjoying this new healthier lifestyle I adapted. This is still valid too.
Letâs examine June a little more carefully. At the end of the June I was going to go out of town to have an internship at a very prestigious university out of town. Which meant I had to stay in student dorms. I had no background about my field of internship yet. I was going to be utterly alone and I was freaking out about it. Iâve spent last week of June extremely tense because I donât live in dorms normally and sharing a space with people and being alone at a professional place and things like doing laundry felt terrifying. But at the same time I was proud of myself because Iâve had always wondered how life would be living in a college campus, and this school I went was the best in my country equal to the university I am attending. Overall, it was prestigious and I was very excited.
Another important thing about June was that Iâve had written almost ALL of Conflict in my head with two of my roleplay partners eagerly listening to me and encouraging me whenever I plotted.
Have you noticed this?
My story was completed BEFORE I even posted.
At the end of June, a few days before I was about to leave for the internship, I had a breakdown. I had a bad breakdown. I had first draft of Conflict completed but I could never get to edit it. I could never get to post it. I didnât even have an account. I didnât really expect much interest in the story either, I just... I donât know. I think I just thought, âWow, this plot is so feelsy. I shouldnât keep it buried in me. Maybe other people will love it too.â and I... kept Conflict waiting... for so long. Then I had a breakdown thinking I canât do a fucking thing right and Iâll never get to post anything because I always let my âdepressionâ take over itâ which is a funny excuse because I wasnât even depressed at June. Scared yes, but not depressed. I hate playing the victim. Objectively speaking, I wasnât at my best but it wasnât my worst either. Anyway. I left first chapter of Conflict linger there for a few weeks, hopeless that I could ever post.
âïž Then comes July. I came to the internship city! It was AWESOME. I LOVED the campus, LOVED the experience, LOVED my field, and ENJOYED dorm life. I made many friends. I had roommates. I worked out more often. I went to sightseeing. I extended my network. I did A LOT of fun stuff.
On the first night I was at dorms, my two roommates were out. I didnât know anyone yet. I had ONE night free to do anything. I was... in an awe. So I opened the documents. I looked at the pretty sight from my dorm room and I said, âWell, letâs do this.â
It was like a torture to finish that first chapter.
I had no expectations when I posted.
But oh my god, it felt like something clicked when I posted! Getting my story POSTED was a significant proof that I was SERIOUSLY moving on from the LAST traces of depression. It was something I created. It was MY productivity. It was ME. But in a way it was everyone. I felt extremely happy. Ohâ did I mention Conflict is my first fanfiction?
Anyway, then I began to look forward to updating. Living in campus had itâs amazing advantages, such as no time wasted on transport, and ability to chill at coffee shops or 24/7 open library ALL NIGHT if I wanted. Which was wayyy less depressing than the environment of my house. I wrote. I felt super engaged. The simple fact that I could exist and produce something and have other people respond to it was something I could never imagine myself doing back on my depressed days. (But I could totally imagine this BEFORE I got in depression. In a way, I was back. I am still back. And Iâm so grateful.)
I wasnât only fooling around to write, though. Iâve been learning a lot. Experiencing a lot. Living a lot. It was amazing. I even binge watched Harry Potter with my roommateâ and I hadnât rewatched it before. (I had fucking forgotten that Sirius died, lmao.)
I also briefly fell in love again. It was a nice brief summer thing. Still think sheâs amazing.
I need to go now, actually, so Iâm abrubtly cutting this post off halfway to edit later. I donât know what I earn by sharing this. Iâm definitely not looking for attentionâ maybe youâve realized it before but I give very little fucks about what people around me say (except for constructive critism). But somehow, I felt as if someone needed to see this. I donât know that person. I donât know who they are and when they are reading this. I just want people to know that there is an example of a girl who seriously changed a lot within span of a year by constant hard work, gentle-self-talks, and constant push-throughs even when sheâs not motivated. Right now Iâm far from being depressed nor suicidal, Iâve lost enough weight to dress up all bold clothes I LOVE to wear, Iâve built self-confidence, etc, as I will edit later. I just... want you all to know... even if this is not valid for everyone if you want something to happen you have to MAKE it happen. And it actually HAPPENS when you MAKE it happen. So, you donât have to stay stuck in a bad cycle. You donât even need a new yearâs eve to do this. I started at february, see?
So do your best! Iâm cheering for you!
Edit: Iâm back. So point of this post was to check whether Iâve reached my goal of having less frequent depressive episodes. (Because I know Iâm human and depressive episodes can hit ANYONE, so I didnât have an unrealistic âIâll never experience this againâ expectation but I did have the expectation of âIâll experience this maybe once or twice in a year, move on fast w/o unhealthy coping mechanisms and Iâll stay connected to LIFE instead of dissosciationâ and Iâve achieved this.
A fast summary would be,
July built my self confidence at all aspects, from my hobbies to my career, my social skills to my curiosities. It was amazing.
August-September was vacation. One month of having a blissful vacation without feeling like a burden. One month of having full bliss. No depressive episodes not even once. I was regularly working out and I didnât gain any weight even though I eat sweets and nice food everyday because of âholidayâ. I went to a dietician in the end to find out my blood sugar is very healthy and my weight is normal now.
At the end of September & beginning of October I was nervous because of school, but I handled a lot better. I have done my best. I have truly done my best. I attended almost all lectures, I engaged in the material, asked all questions on my mind, went office hours, stayed active in newspaper, continued to hit up gym regularly, built more friendships, ALSO STAGED A THEATRE TEXT I HAVE WRITTEN LIKE THAT WAS AMAZING, andâ andâ
I donât know, fast through November it doesnât feel enough. I donât know what Iâve honestly expected. But I expected to feel smarter or something, because science is hard shit. I expected better grades than this because I have honestly given it my all best. But the fact that my friends called me to reassure me made me really happy because one of my other goals was to build friendships and to think people, online and offline, check up on me makes me tear up. Especially when they are genuniely by my side as friends. It just feels so nice. So Iâm feeling bittersweet.
I couldnât lose any more weight since June, but I kept gaining/losing in some balance and Iâm stable by now. My aim for February is to... lose 10 kgs in totalâ in a year. Which means Iâve got 4 kgs left to get rid of extra weight. Iâm not really obsessed with body image, Iâve never been, but... What will I even do if I do not eat healthy and exercise? I mean, whatâll I even do? I like exercising and healthy eating. So I should just prevent stressful eating further so I can get rid of all the extra stuff. Iâm already wearing all the pretty clothes I want and I do get stares because ;; idk they look cute Iâm cute. Not in a narcissitic way. But self-love is important. Iâm bi anyway, I do think girls are cute so since Iâm a girl why shouldnât I be cute as well?? A very feminine girl in fact, so like, hell yes, at least Nila can now wear whatever she wants and feels like she looks good on them so ONE OF THE MAJOR GOALS OF 2019 is fucking SETTLED!!
Iâm planning to meet up my dietician again soon, and say that, âLook, Iâve come this far. Letâs lose 4 kgs in next 4 months. It makes 1 kg a month. Amazingly managable right? So guide me so I donât ruin my health while thinning.â
So, Iâve managed my three major goals: Get rid of depression (learn how to burn it if it hits you); get a body you not only appreciate but feel genuniely HAPPY to be in; and built friendships and strengthen your bonds with people.
My two other major goals are incompleted, though. To cut it short, I wanted to get a better academic standingâ from my first midterm grades I couldnât really achieve that no matter how hard I tried, which is truly upsetting, but I have no choice but to go on. I love my major. I love science. I genuniely want to stay in this field. I donât think Iâm too idiotic to be a scientist. Sometimes I do think that, okay, but thatâs a common thought in STEM majors. I do want to believe that what I work on will make a difference. It will have a meaning. So even though these results... are very discouraging to the point I felt really bad today, as if I could somehow, I donât know, have a panic attack or something (I did not, I donât have chronic anxiety or panic attacks or whatever, never experienced this). I just felt close to it, with increased heartbeat and feeling a bit dizzy and also very... imbalanced. But thatâs probably because I didnât eat well today, I unintentionally ate very little hence probably it exhausted me combined with bad news and saturdayâs breakdown. Anyway. I have no choice but to go on, believing it will be better. My last major goal was to have a romantic partner, haha. Because I just want to. I mean, I donât think I need to justify why Iâd want a boyfriend or a girlfriend, and I donât think I worked hard for this goal lol. I mean, I didnât go out of my way to reach people. I liked like... three people this year, I still like one of them, but... It didnât... go far. Thatâs probably because I still havenât completely shaken off my shyness and unwillingness to get out of my comfort zone.
In conclusion, I have achieved 3/5 of my goals, which is more than half of it! So good job! For the girlfriend/boyfriend part, I, haha, I may neglect it for this year I mean itâs dumb to date someone just because??? You want to date before year ends right??? I mean, Iâm not exactly angry at myself for that because itâs not only in my control so I think I forgive myself for not achieving that goal.
Academics though.
Ugh, academics are extremely terrifying to me.
Thatâs one big thing I need to settle.
On the bright side I haveâ two months! Silly me thought I have just one! So... let me... work hard in these two months!!!! And Iâll update if I can get a better GPA this semester. And if I get a lover. Itâs ok not to have lovers but at least let me keep the GPA high I BEG you.
Iâve got new goals settled for 2020. But I will focus on achieving my last two goals before the year ends (academics mostly) and... update!
I donât know who needs to read this. But I donât mind having my journey posted at this point. I still feel very uncomfortable talking about depression, actually. But it was my reality. Now that I truly moved on, I can talk about it and critisize myself for all good and all bad.
I hope, to anyone who bothered to read so long, it gave some hope. That things can get better. That you CAN make things better little by little. 2020 can be your year. Or you can start on this very day like I randomly started on February (I didnât have a thing for February, I just so happened to decide).
Iâll always be cheering those who do their best to make a difference.
Stay safe and letâs work hard. â€ïž
Disclaimer: Some of my kind hearted readers were worried about me because Conflict describes unhealthy mindsets. Donât worryâ more than half of them are not based on my real life experiences! Iâm not self-harming (never did, donât think I ever will), neglecting antidepressants (I never used any actually), have suicidal tendencies (well, that part was real but no longer valid) AND I DONâT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP LIKE NORMAN/PETER sO YâALL CAN CHILL thank you for worrying about me I love you all
And Iâll be more than happy to be your goals-buddy if you want to change something about yourself as well!!!

[[ Random Survey Questions // By @x-hallie-x ]] 1. When was the last time you realized something about yourself, your abilities, or your financial situation that left you feeling disappointed? >> Iâm not sure. I feel like Iâve got a pretty solid perception of my financial situation, and considering itâs the best itâs been since Iâve hit adulthood, I canât imagine being too disappointed (except when new video games come out lmao but half the time I buy them anyway because... like, I can, for once, and my brain goblins canât prevent me from treating myself forever!). As far as my mental state is concerned, Can Calah wonât let me beat myself up about that, so entertaining any sort of disappointment in myself is out of the question.Â
2. Generally, are you more likely to blame others or yourself for problems you experience? >> Generally, Iâm more likely to blame myself than others. But I donât think thatâs any better than blaming others. I am as much a product of my environment and the other people in my life as I am a product of whatever wild magical shit happens to make brains the way they are. I can control what I can control, but a lot of things about my life are out of my control. Finding things to place blame on really just doesnât help me fix things, so I donât care whoâs to blame, I care how it can be fixed/helped.
3. What is one thing about your life that you donât ever see changing, even if you might wish it would? >> I probably will never be a person that is gainfully employed or self-sufficient. And, honestly, that would hurt me more if I didnât have someone who is gainfully employed and self-sufficient who is willing to use that for both of our benefit. I was basically convinced that everyone in this country is out for whatever they can get for themselves, and if I canât keep up with that, then Iâm not worth keeping around. Iâd been convinced that people saw me as a leech who just existed to suck up all their resources, and had nothing of value to offer in return. Itâs a very insidious mentality to have absorbed, but the longer Iâm here, the less power it has over me, so I guess I do have her to thank for that.
4. At what point in your life have you been the most social or had the most friendships? And at which point have you been the least social? >> I guess when I lived in NYC, in general. I had a couple of persistent social circles: the Streetwork LES crew (homeless/destitute youth who went to the drop-in center on the Lower East Side called Streetwork), and the vamp scene crew (self-styled âvampyresâ who participated in a big underground subculture, subdivided themselves into Houses and Clans, and threw a lot of parties). Most of those people werenât what Iâd call my friends, per se -- we were very friendly, sure, and I had a lot of good times with them, but most of those people didnât really measure up to what Iâd want out of friendship (and the rest were just casual acquaintances). I guess now is when Iâve been the least social; I know almost no one out here and the people I do know are really just... friendly acquaintances, I guess? Social-media buddies? We donât really know things about each other, you know, like friends do... I donât know. At this age, I donât know how friendships form and I donât know how to find out. The Internet is where my friends are now and I guess thatâs just the way it has to be until I figure out something else (or until I move to a less socially-uptight area).
5. Do you prefer to have a few close friends or a bunch of random acquaintances? Which would describe what you have now? >> Iâd like to have a mix of both. I just like to have people to be social with, in a variety of ways. Like I had in New York... Right now, I donât know what I have. Iâm kinda off this subject because it depresses me, ngl, no offence to anyone.
6. Do you journal? Generally, what do you write about? Do you find it helpful to get your thoughts out that way, or do you prefer another form of self-expression? >> I used to journal. I used to be really into journalling. But I guess, instead of trying to stick to the same practices I used to do, maybe I ought to recognise that my instinct to journal has been diverted into other forms of media -- like keeping a tumblr, and taking surveys. These all exist as records of my life -- as proof that I was here, that I existed, that these things happened to me. The internet enables me to keep a multimedia record of my existence, and thatâs actually more than I could expect from just one paper journal, or whatever. Journalling (on various journal sites especially) was indeed a helpful way for me to get my thoughts out, but I guess now I just talk to Can Calah instead. I think I got put off writing my thoughts down because my instinct is to keep stuff like that public, because itâs all me and I am an open book, but then people (not just one person, either, this is just a thing people do in general, and I guess itâs understandable but oh my god) would get upset about stuff later and itâd just get messy. So I got put off being emotional on the internet because it backfired on me a lot lmao. Iâm working on getting over it.
7. Do you like eating foods that other people have cooked for you, or do you prefer to have control over your meals? >> I do like eating food that other people have cooked for me -- as long as itâs food I like. And as long as it isnât like... some kind of social trap. Like, I was annoyed with Sparrowâs mother for a few months because she wasnât respecting my boundaries and always had some stupid shit to say about me to Sparrow and I donât play that fucking shit. So I basically stopped being nice to her. And she kept trying to do stuff like... like Easter dinner, she made it âSouthern-styleâ and made collards and banana pudding and shit. And like, this is a Midwestern White(tm) weâre talking about. Thatâs not the kind of stuff she naturally makes for any occasion. And she told Sparrow that sheâd asked around (I guess at her job??? or something?) about what Black people eat on holidays??? And Sparrowâs like âbut you could have just asked Logan if there was any dishes he wanted to be servedâ. Like, itâs not fucking rocket science, Iâm right here. But sheâll always do shit like that, trying to ingratiate herself, when itâs not that fucking hard!!!! Donât touch me, donât talk about me to my fiancĂ©e behind my back, and ask me things directly!!!! WOW! SO HARD! (Also, the banana pudding was a fucking miss because bananas are one of like 3 foods on this entire planet that I donât like. Which... she would have known... if sheâd asked me first. But no, it was just all âoh I did this, I did that, heâs not gratefulâ bitch I DIDNâT ASK FOR ANY OF THIS. STOP IT.) Anyway, shit like that I hate. But people making food for me in general is great, because I hate cooking.
8. Have you ever been somewhere and REALLY didnt like a food that you were expected to eat? How did you deal with this? Are you someone who is likely to suck it up and be polite or refuse and save your taste buds? >> Yeah, that same Easter holiday I just mentioned. The collards were terrible, the fish was meh, and everything else was food I donât care for (cheesy potatoes and that kinda starch-heavy fare). So I basically drank wine and played on my phone the whole time. As you can see, politeness is not something I feel compelled to give if I donât want to.Â
9. What is one way in which you compare yourself to others? In this comparison, do you regard yourself as better or worse off than the people to whom you usually do the comparing? >> Well, I compare myself to other fanwriters a lot, because itâs something I canât help. I donât think Iâm a bad writer. Iâve been writing literally all of my conscious life, and Iâve watched myself progress. Iâm generally pretty fair about my strengths and weaknesses in writing. When my confidence is where itâs supposed to be, and Iâve been writing often, I turn out some pretty good shit. I like my work. But my confidence took a big hit at some point lately, and Iâm not sure why. All I know is that I feel like my offerings to fandom are like... boring to people, or not interesting enough, or??? I donât know. And I feel like I donât have any stories worth telling anymore. These are all feelings and really not based in any sort of reality, because my friends and partner tell me they like my work and my OCs, and tumblr as a whole is so astoundingly saturated with fanwork that the lack of interest most likely has nothing to do with my content and more to do with the fact that the market is full up and people donât have time. I know all that, but when I sit down and go âokay, self, letâs write a ficâ, all these mental blocks land in my path and I get too tired to deal with it and just scroll my dash instead. I donât know what to do, but I guess Iâll just truck along until something in me changes. :/
10. What is something youâve been particularly grateful for lately? >> That while my thanatophobia is nowhere near fixed, itâs been a little quieter lately. Iâve been able to sleep, and being able to sleep makes a lot of other things more manageable by default, so itâs like an ouroboros (in this case, a good one; but when I canât sleep then it becomes a terrible one, lol). Iâm using the lull to try to install some better programming, some less spiral-y thought patterns, that sort of thing. I donât know if itâs helping, but Iâve literally got more to gain than I stand to lose, so.
11. What kind of change or opportunity would be the biggest help in your life right now? >> A therapist. But... like, one I feel like I can build a relationship with, not one who I dread seeing (which has been every therapist Iâve ever had). But like, besides just the benefit to my mental health... the clock is really ticking; recertification for SSI will most likely be happening within the next year and I have no psych team. How will they know how to judge my case if Iâm not in any kind of treatment? Thatâs how people end up cut off. :T
12. Is there one emotion that you experience more often than any other? Is there an emotion you rarely ever experience? >> I experience amusement most often, probably. If thatâs an emotion. An emotion I rarely experience is... shame? Most likely.
13. How mature would you say you are? What qualities do you think make a person mature? >> I donât know how to gauge maturity, least of all my own. What is my basis for comparison? Adulthood as it is in modern USian society is a crock, most of the time -- the way people understand it is all kinds of flawed. What are our passage rites? Who are our elders? Where do we learn how to be a productive member of our community (and not just a cog in the capitalist machine)? The people we look up to are often no better off than we are. Individualism as a social standard (as opposed to the understanding of oneself as an individual) and the division of the community structure has ruined our ability to understand ourselves in relation to other people properly. What is maturity, in a society like this? What is my role in my society, and how well am I fulfilling it? What have I learned about life, and how much of it is truly worth knowing and passing on? Questions, questions, questions.
14. When was the last time you believed there might be something seriously medically wrong with you? What was the ultimate diagnosis? >> I mean, I always think my bodyâs about to fall apart, even though Iâm aware thatâs illogical and just a byproduct of thanatophobia. I donât think Iâve ever thought anything was seriously medically wrong with me, because generally nothing is.
15. What is one illness you are afraid of having? Do you know anyone who has faced this illness? >> Anything that involves degeneration of the brain (Alzheimerâs and the sort). And no, I donât know anyone personally with anything like that.Â
16. How do you tend to behave when youâre sick? What kinds of things do you like people to do for you, if anything, to help you feel better? >> Iâm so rarely ill that Iâm not even sure, lmao. I think itâd depend on what kind of sick I am, because different illnesses require different methods of care.
17. If youâre someone who rarely eats breakfast, is there a reason for this? If you do usually eat breakfast, are there any other meals you avoid or skip for any reason, and why so? >> I mean, I eat when Iâm hungry, and I donât care what the time of day is (as long as itâs not too close to bedtime). So I donât really label my meals using âbreakfastâ, âlunchâ, and so on.Â
18. When was the last time you did something you were proud of? Were other people proud of you as well? Does it matter to you whether or not other people care about your accomplishments, or is your own satisfaction enough? >> Probably finishing some questline in a video game. And no, I mean, I didnât really tell anyone or anything. Itâs not really an important thing. Woo, big deal, video games, who cares.
19. What is your least favorite thing about the season youâre currently experiencing? Are you okay with most types of weather, or are you only happy under certain conditions? >> I donât like sweating or feeling lethargic because of heat / humidity. Iâm usually okay with most types of weather as long as theyâre not extreme, but if there are long stretches of cloudy / rainy days I feel pretty diminished and gloomy-doomy.
20. Have you made any changes to your style or âlookâ lately? How often do you change your appearance, hairstyle, fashion, etc? Or is it a pretty constant thing? >> No, not really. I donât know what to change. My executive function when it comes to appearance is like... in negative integers. I just... I lost the knack for it. Whatever.
21. What are some things you do to feel pampered? >> Iâm not sure I ever feel pampered, lmao. I tried to think about it and I just got this tangled ball of wires regarding like, stuff I canât even explain quickly, so Iâm just gonna move on.
22. What was the last thing you felt hopeful about? Do you think thereâs a good chance of whatever-it-is working out in your favor, or not so much? >> Well, the last thing I felt hopeful about was getting out to see The Equalizer 2 today, and then the whole debit card thing happened, so I actually had my hopes dashed. And all because I did what I was supposed to do! But doing what I was supposed to do means that now I have to wait for a new debit card, which means I canât go to the movies today (I canât get to the bank and just get cash, which is what the lady on the phone said to do! I donât fucking drive!!!). So, you know. Right now Iâm just focusing on salvaging my day and my mood.
23. In what ways are you prone to black and white thinking? In what ways do you see more in terms of color or gray? >> I donât know, Iâm mostly a grey person by necessity or by design or whatever. Sometimes Iâll think âIâm a complete fucking idiotâ because I did one dumb thing, or something, but like... itâs just because Iâm upset about the one thing and canât properly process that one thing at the moment without like, making a mountain out of it. Thatâs why I just try to distract myself until the feeling passes, because thatâs the only way to get my brain to move on.
24. Are there types of people you will simply never understand (not necessarily ~empathize with) no matter how hard you might try? Are there people you seem to understand almost immediately? >> Well, yeah, definitely. I mean, I canât possibly understand everyone. I donât expect myself to, either. I guess I understand people who are like me? Like, thatâs logical, right? I donât know.Â
25. When was the last time you tried something youâve never tried before? How likely are you to break from your routine and try new things? >> The only thing I can think of recently is playing Journey, because Iâd never played that before. I donât know how often I try new things, especially since a lot of âtrying new thingsâ involves either money I donât have or access I donât have.Â
26. Have you ever ârecoveredâ from anything? What does ârecoveryâ mean or look like to you? >> I donât think so. I think mental recovery is a long-term shifting of paradigms and changing of perspective that can only be truly comprehended in retrospect. I think in that respect, Iâll be recovering for a long time. This is why I prefer the small-scale focus rather than the wide-scale focus, because using the wide-scale focus too much makes everything feel bleak and futile -- we may have a more complex consciousness and a more complex understanding of time and space, but I think exercising that cosmic viewpoint frequently can be really taxing on the brain (which manifests in things like existential despair, thanatophobia, etc). So instead of thinking about ârecoveryâ, I think about being good to myself today. And thatâs that.
27. What are some ways your childhood differed from those of others around you? Do you think this difference was harmful or advantageous in the long run? >> Hm. I was raised as a âgifted childâ with all the ridiculous bullshit that entailed. I was sheltered to an absurd degree for a modern child (like, I didnât watch cartoons and didnât know what actual video games [as opposed to computer games] were until I was almost an adult). I didnât make my first friend until sixth grade, and I was so socially undeveloped that I ended up losing her before the year was out. I didnât know how to talk to people, I was sullen and withdrawn, I lived in my headspace and didnât bother with the actual world around me. My curiosity as a child was severely blunted by alienation (I guess Iâm making up for that lack of curiosity now, huh). I was pretty obviously not a normal child, but no one could see that?? Or didnât care?? As long as I got good grades and didnât cut up in class, no one cared about my development, I guess. I think the nature of my childhood didnât do me any favours, but I also think that Iâve done the best I could with what I had (which wasnât much). I eventually had to teach myself socialisation by observation, for example, and I think I did a decent enough job. I canât blame my parent and the adults around him for my stunted development forever. Now itâs my responsibility.
28. What is one thing you are really good at compared to most people? What about one thing you are really bad at compared to others? >> I really donât know how to determine this. I think itâs too easy to judge oneself unfairly in comparison to other people, so I try not to do it on purpose, you dig.
29. Do you think people are âall goodâ or âall badâ? What would make someone qualify as âbadâ or âgoodâ to you, or do you simply not think in those terms? >> No, I donât think that. I donât even think of people in terms of âbadâ or âgoodâ, unless weâre literally playing a Fable game where you have an actual âgood/evilâ meter. Even then, Iâve spent most of my time in that fandom unpacking that stupid fucking spectrum and writing the characters with the nuance they deserve. So, you know. Iâm pretty sick of good/evil or good/bad as a whole. People are people, and thatâs that on that.
30. When was the last time you did something out in nature? Do you notice a dip in your mood when you donât get enough of the Great Outdoors? >> I guess thatâd be on the Fourth, when we went to Creekside Park to eat lunch. I... really donât spend a whole lot of time outside anymore, and I think itâs directly related to how much I donât like where I live. Iâve tried on many occasions to be more enthusiastic about something, anything, about Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I really fucking canât. I canât do it. And Iâm tired of trying to make myself do it. So now I just donât do shit. Which isnât any better, I know. Iâm just trying to make do, here.

lmao never trust my words when i say no more muses. so anyway, under the cut are brief intros.
ABIGAIL MACQUEEN looks an awful lot like VICTORIA JUSTICE. SHE is TWENTY-THREE and while theyâre DETERMINED, they have a tendency to get pretty PASSIVE. Youâve probably seen them around Kola listening to SOLITAIRE by MARINA&THE DIAMONDS.
so i can definitely see how she resembles victoriaâs character on eye candy. i actually created that muse before and then when the show came out, i modified it to look similar.
Older of two, sheâs always been very energetic and outgoing. And very very damn good with computers.
When she was 16, her younger sibling went missing, and she started developing her hacking skills to try and track her online activity to find her.
But she never did, at least no in time, since they found the body of her younger sister washed up on some shore on the East Coast two months later.Â
She decided to not let it stop her, and decided to use her skills to actually help others who might need it. So she opened some sort of underground business, and gets paid to hack for people(as long as itâs not like... government, or the person isnât meaning any harm by it).
Buuuuuut she got caught, although they gave her some kind of second chance. Sheâd be free, as long as she decided to use her hacking skills to help cyber crimes rather than doing illegal jobs. So now sheâs a hacker for cyber crimes in Kola(which is where she grew up btw).
ARINA KOLOSOVA looks an awful lot like NATALIE DORMER. SHE is THIRTY-TWO and while theyâre SUAVE, they have a tendency to get pretty VINDICTIVE. Youâve probably seen them around Kola listening to YOU DONâT OWN ME by DUSTY SPRINGFIELD.Â
Born and raised in Moscow, both her parents worked for an underground agency, think something similar to Kingsman, but with a Black Widow twist.
While her childhood was fine, when she became older, her parents started training her to become the perfect agent.
They became harsher on her, often depriving her of a real meal or even bed sheets at night when she wasnât doing good in her training.
It was becoming a lot to deal with, but she knew better than to go against her parents. So she just tried harder and harder in trainings until they judged she was old and skilled enough to pass the entrance test for the agency.
Which she did, she aced it. While Arina never really thought about doing the same job her parents did, she did have a job now, at 21, so why give it up?
But it was underground, not very legal, and so they got busted when she was 24. She wasnât there when they showed at the HQ, but her mother was, and she destroyed all files linking to Arina before the authorities saw them.
Due to her parents being arrested and her job not existing anymore, she managed to get a visa to move to the states for political protection.
She landed in Kola, and joined a bikerâs gang, which is the best thing she did in her life.
Due to being deprived of meals often when she was younger, she now has a very large appetite, although she does burn off all excess by training.
Probably gets paid to help people get revenge on whoever did them wrong.
ARWEN DAE SHEEN looks an awful lot like ARDEN CHO. SHE is TWENTY-NINE and while theyâre FUN-LOVING, they have a tendency to get pretty CLUMSY. Youâve probably seen them around Kola listening to WEIRD PEOPLE by LITTLE MIX.Â
Dae was born in Korea, but before she was even 5, her parents were targetted for a crime they did not comit, but the culprit created false proofs, so they had to flee the country.
They landed in England for a few years, building a new life. And by doing so, they all changed their names. They didnât want to be traced back, although they did keep their last names. She was only 5 though and would only come up with random names, so her parents named her after a character from their favorite book series.
Her father later on got a job offer in Kola, California, so the family moved there. Arwen was probably about 8-9.
And sheâs been in Kola since, and doesnât plan on moving out, since she fell in love with the town.
She currently works as an elementary school teacher, as well as a fencing instructor by night.
CARSON MCALLISTER looks an awful lot like ALEXANDER KOCH. HE is TWENTY-SEVEN and while theyâre IDEALISTIC, they have a tendency to get pretty DERANGED. Youâve probably seen them around Kola listening to WICKED by BOY EPIC.Â
My fucked up son I havenât played in ages.
Son of the police chief in Kola, and a high school teacher, who sadly passed away giving birth to him.
His father was not a good man. Carson grew up seeing him bring in women, at first acting like a true gentleman, until he became abusive with them and they left. And that did rub on him with time.
During high school, he fell in love with this girl, she was the light of his life. They were together for nearly 5 years, before they broke up. He was training to become a police officer like his dad, and she felt their paths were diverging.
He... did not take it, and locked her up in one of the rooms of his very large house. His father working crazy hours and that room being empty, never realized it until a few weeks later. A missing notice person was filled, and his father suspected him. The house was searched, they found the girl, and Carson was arrested.
He did time, and is only coming out of jail now, has no job, probably couch surfing since his father wonât talk to him.
Still wants his ex back tbfh.
GENESIS FERRER looks an awful lot like ZOE SALDANA. SHE is THIRTY-SEVEN and while theyâre LOYAL, they have a tendency to get pretty OPINIONATED. Youâve probably seen them around Kola listening to SORRY NOT SORRY by DEMI LOVATO.
Her parents moved to the states before she was born. But they later on got deported, although since she was born there, she was placed in foster care. (wouldâve much rather prefered to be taken with her parents)
Was intentionally bad with all foster families because she was salty. Sheâs always been kind of a brat.
After graduating, she started studying management, while also working as a part time security guard at the mall.Â
One thing lead to another, and when she graduated, Genesis decided to start her own security company. So now she owns a company, who people basically employ to guard their buildings, malls, shops, zoo, whatever.
Was never able to get a serious relationship because sheâs very distant with people. BUT I SWEAR SHE HAS LOVE TO GIVE.
Also Iâm making her a green alien in the future verse because I CAN.
MADELEINE STOKES looks an awful lot like KYLIE BUNBURY. SHE is TWENTY-SEVEN and while theyâre CHARISMATIC, they have a tendency to get pretty JUDGEMENTAL. Youâve probably seen them around Kola listening to BO$$ by FIFTH HARMONY.
This character was originally an April Pearson fc? But she has like no good resources? So here we have the lovely Kylie instead.
Filthy rich family, she was spoiled to death. And it got to her head. But her parents also thought her that sheâll have to work for her own money when sheâs older.
Queen Bee all through her school career. People looked up to her, but also feared what she could do.
Currently works as weather girl for the local channel.
That character was also originally inspired by Regina George, so she does keep a Burn Book, which sheâs had since high school, and still adds stuff to it.
MARGARET BALDWIN looks an awful lot like DAISY RIDLEY. SHE is TWENTY-FIVE and while theyâre METICULOUS, they have a tendency to get pretty INDIVIDUALISTIC. Youâve probably seen them around Kola listening to CANâT BE TAMED by MILEY CYRUS.
Daughter of Gustav, he used her as one of his test subjects.
When it got debunked, her mother and her changed identities, and while it did mess with her head, it was nothing compared to her mom.
It wasnât much later that her mom had to be sent to a psychiatric rehab center, and is still there. As for Nicoline Margaret, her neighbour was kind enough to take her in for as long as it might take.
They already had two kids, so she grew up with two people she now considers her siblings.
She always did good in school, but was horrible at following simple rules and orders. So after graduating, she went into journalism and is now an investigative journalist.
She hates her dad, and wished he would still be in jail. Actually erased him from her life and didnât even know he was out until she went to see her mom and she mentioned he visited her.
Sheâs very bad at relationships but I swear if you bring me John Boyega, Adam Driver and/or Oscar Isaac, as exes, current crushes, FWB, or whatever you can think of, I will forever love you.

tag games.
alright, letâs do this-- i just realized i had like five tag games in my likes, but theyâre pretty similar so iâll do two of them :D
game number one.
tagged by this sunshine @rosaetaeâ âĄ
appearance:
hmm alright so iâm 5 foot 7 or 170 cm, and i weigh 125 lbs, which is 57 kg i think? my hair almost reaches my butt, but i definitely need to get it trimmed. i had red dip dye earlier, but the color faded, so itâs like an ombre now. iâm vietnamese, and iâm on the paler side in my family. i think my lips are pretty full, and my eyes are large? or at least thatâs what my relatives all tell me. and i have a dimple on my left cheek! and i sometimes have those tiny hobi dimples. um iâll be posting a selfie tag right after this, so youâll actually see my face then lmao
personality:
iâm an introverted extrovert! meaning, i am very social, i enjoy meeting new people and making friends in all my classes, but at the same time, i donât divulge a lot of information about myself LOLÂ i go to parties and stuff usually once a week, and i socialize a lot there, but in my mind, iâm just thinking about going back to my bed and binging criminal minds or the great british baking show. one of my friends actually told me that before she even got to judge me the first time she saw me, i already introduced myself and started talking to her akdhfsa so iâm very outgoing, loud, and sarcastic, and iâd like to think of myself as hilarious too. i try to be nice to everyone and am usually very chill, but if someone is super rude, then oh boy, i will go off on them
ability:
art!!! i love art with all my heart, and iâd like to say that iâm decent at it since iâm pursuing a minor in studio arts. iâd like to think i have athletic ability as well since i played three different sports and did cheerleading and four types of dances when i was younger. oh, and iâve played the piano for sixteen years and the drums! also the recorder because that was mandatory in middle/junior high school lmao and iâm also very good at mental math. as for linguistics, i can communicate in english, spanish, and vietnamese.
hobbies:
studio arts is a big one, so drawing, painting, stamp carving, stenciling, etc. i also really love cooking and baking, but i donât like eating the sweets. i just give whatever i bake to my friends and family lol and i gym five times a week, so does that count as a hobby? i also love sleeping, reading books, and binging crime shows
relationships:
not interested. my friends and i downloaded tinder for fun, and we just like to comment on the profiles. the total of people i have swiped right for in the whole year iâve had my tinder is a whopping total of 11 (and 3 of those were dogs), and i always unmatch after the third message. i just ask my matches what food places theyâd rec and thatâs it. unmatch straight afterwards asdkfjasdh
random stuff:
kim taeyeon is the center of my universe, kim jisoo is the ultimate goddess, kim taehyung owns my heart, and nct dream can run me over with those bikes in go and iâd thank them and give them all my money in my bank account.
game number two.
tagged by this cutie patootie @miniggukâ âĄ
1. Which BTS song means the most to you?
no more dream because itâs the first mv i ever saw of them when i got into kpop four years ago, and i really contemplated using sugaâs âi wanna big house, big car, and big rings, but i donât have any big dreamsâ as my senior yearbook quote.
2. How do you feel about astrology?
well, personally, i think itâs a bunch of hooey because all the descriptions and whatnot that are for each sign is written to be broad enough that it feels personal if that makes sense? like i can read the stuff for another sign that isnât mine and can still feel that it applies to me. but do i still read my horoscopes and look for my sign in astrology posts? heck yeah i do
3. Do you think ghosts exist?
maybe? i need real life experience as proof to actually believe, not those grainy videos with what looks like dust particles floating around
4. Whatâs your favorite instrument?
the piano! i have a love-hate relationship with it though because i love listening to piano music, but i hate playing it myself
5. Who was the last person to make you really smile?

Random May Thought #1
I think I may have forgotten how to properly write an entry on Tumblr. Much features have changed since I last posted here. If it werenât for Instagramâs connect to Tumblr feature, I wouldnât have updated this blog in years. Last I posted was a picture of my penmanship in Mandarin. I was still a student in China back then. And well now, I am back to the mothership.
Two years ago, COVID-19 didnât exist. Oh wait, it did, they just hadnât named it yet or they havenât discovered it yet (I actually remember they used to call it nCoV). Two years ago, I was still lying in my bed in my spacious dorm room probably wondering why time flew so fast. Two years ago, I was a completely different person. I had plans two years later, you know. Plans that got soiled. I didnât think I would still be here. I should be experiencing spring elsewhere and yet Iâm basking in the scorching heat of summer in the Republic of the Philippines. Not that Iâm complaining. Alright, fine, I am.
Life has been pretty tough lately. I think I wrote the same thing in one of my book reviews in Goodreads. After reading that book by Paul Kalanithi, I became more aware of how finite life is. Iâve always loved books that sorta ended in tragedies (maybe itâs the masochist in me lmao). But reading a memoir of someone who suffered a similar fate to those fictional characters Iâve read before, reading through his personal struggle made me think about how lifeâat the end of it allâis truly fragile.
I also read through my old entries in here. I laughed at some. I smiled at some. I sorta became sad after reading some entries. But Iâm glad I wrote. Now, Iâm feeling like continuing this thing I do often when Iâm overwhelmed by life: writing. Thereâs a sense of bittersweetness to reading your old diary or journal entries for the world to see. Two nights ago, I dug through my old notebooks and read some of my written entries in there. Ten, nine, eight years ago versions of me who loved writing and sharing her thoughts on pages of now worn-out notebooks. Again, Iâm glad I wrote.
Writing is probably something Iâm not really best at but Iâm good at. And suffice to say, I enjoy it. I love writing and itâs probably going to be the end of me. Funny how going back home, here in the mountains of Rizal, transforms me into a sentimental freak. The life in the city is probably the most ideal, future-focused lifestyle but the old soul in me will always go back and try to rekindle the sad and happy memories of the past.
Right now, Iâm sat at the end of my bed. With a laptop. Typing these random thoughts. I see my piano on the left. I see my bookshelves right in front of me. And I see my luggage, to my right, that I havenât used since I got back from China (I didnât use this for my trip to Japan, I used a smaller one lmao).
I leafed through the pages of my old planner. It was the planner I used for my final year in university. I saw this âDream Boardâ that I ever so creatively put together using cutouts from magazines, stickers, and sticky notes. I wrote there that I would make films, music, and literature. Funny how those âdreamsâ became reality. One by one. I also remember listing down the places Iâd always wanted to visit in that planner. I remember writing all the countries that I would, one day, visit. And by some weird miracle, Iâve ticked off so many of those places. Well, except Amsterdam (because damn, the Netherlands is so far away). But donât worry self, weâll get there. Eventually. Lmao.
My dream board was extended to the next page where I listed down so many things that I would save up for. Teenage me would be proud of herself because ten years later, she has owned that John Green book collection (she now even has at least three versions of each book John Green has published, I know thatâs ridiculous but please stop judging me lol), she has also owned two MacBooks (an Air in 2015 and a Pro in 2020), she has bought a digital piano (God, I srsly am in love with this piano, teenage me would cry out of joy I swear), and she has travelled to a lot of her dream destinations and countries. Teenage me would be so proud of who she has become. I seriously sighed as I typed that last line.
Ten years. Feels like an entire lifetime ago. I didnât think life would be this fast-paced. I mean, thanks technology but boohoo because here I am, somehow struggling, asking myself every single day, hour, minute why adulting has to be this difficult. I sorta blame my teenage self because, she wished for this moment. She wished to fast-forward to my yuppy self. But then again, who am I to complain, THAT WAS ME ten years ago. Bitch, you did not. Lmao.
Earlier this afternoon, itâs nighttime as I type this, I spoke with one of my co-workers. We havenât known each other that very long. But it feels like weâve known each other forever. Sheâs a Libra, just like me. Sheâs a 92-liner, too. Oh the joy! And sheâs a psych major, I envy her. Sometimes I still wonder why I didnât take that path in university. Accountancy was shit and as much as I loved my Sintang Paaralan, I just didnât want to be there anymore for personal reasons. Youâd know, if you ever met me in person, Iâll tell you. Wow, am I really that good at moving on? Anyway, being a communication major is and was a great experience. I hate competitions but I joined so many competitions in that field and lost some but you gotta win some, right? So I did. Thank you for the wonderful experiences, Piyu.
Whoa, I didnât think Iâd be writing this long. But Iâm not done yet. So as I was saying, I spoke with her. She isnât just a colleague to me now but more like a best friend. I never thought I would meet someone my age who spoke the same language as me before her. Iâm a nerd. If that isnât already obvious. And if being caught by our director talking about Sigmund Freud and Maria Montessori isnât enough proof, then I guess letâs talk about global warming, greenhouse effect, and the melting polar caps. I like talking about ideas, phenomenas, and books. Crucify me! #ReasonsWhyImStillSingle
Iâd been praying about something recently. And I only got that clarity when I finally spoke to her about it. Weâve been on this topic for about a month now. And occasionally we like to make fun of this topic. But I guess, when something isnât really meant for you, God will make a way for it to not, you know, find its way to you. Thank you, LORD.
She told me so many things that made me realize that the person I like right now probably has his reasons why heâs not making the first move. And I understood that. She insisted that my feelings were valid and it was okay for me to feel those thingsâto think those things. But oh my goodness, I told her, this person is so lucky. Like I swear to God. Because I donât really âlikeâ guys that often. I donât feel easily attracted to anyone. So it is by some miracle that I ended up liking this particular human sub-specie (bro, you should feel privileged, too bad you wonât be able to read this). Anyway, It was so clear to me. And I had to move on. Immediately. But whatâs weird about it is that I just took a nap. And when I woke up from that nap this afternoon I felt nothing. Like that feeling expired almost immediately. It completely dissipated. So ridiculous, right? Iâve harbored feelings for this person for some time now (it hasnât been that long to be honest) and Iâm just over that feeling now. In an instant, too. I donât know why. Itâs probably one of my talents.
Wow, I really do move on fast. Donât I? Am I cruel (to myself) that way?
So I had decided to busy myself with work. Plan about my graduate studies. And hope for the best. But for now, Iâll enjoy the rest of my leave from work. I sighed. Again. As I wrote that. My head hurts. I donât know why. But it does. And I almost typed that in Korean.
On another topic, Iâm thinking about compiling all of my literary works in some way. I also feel like commissioning my niece and my older brother to illustrate some of my poems for me. Iâve actually thought about this like a year ago amidst the pandemic. But the lazy ass in me just kept postponing. And I blame myself for procrastinating because all my âplansâ havenât come to fruition. But Iâll get my shit together. Eventually. I need to make this happen. At least before I expire. Lmao.
P.S. Iâm tired. I actually stayed up late last night. Or should I say earlier this morning. I video called one of my ex-colleagues. It was also a really nice chat. But Iâm not used to staying up late anymore. Iâve burned tons of midnight oil in university. NEVER AGAIN. Iâm sleepy to be honest.
P.P.S. Tomorrowâs my elder sisterâs birthday. Iâm going to post ancient pictures of her on my stories.

I really enjoy your little "mom life" tidbits and how the baby wrap has become your saving grace. your last fic was brilliant and I can't help but think that Gendry would proudly wear the baby wrap as he goes about his day and now I want a fic about Gendry shopping or at his job while having his baby strapped to his front lol. sorry I keep requesting baby related fics and I hope your little one is well and letting you sleep :D
Thank you! Iâm having a lot of fun writing this, so itâs no problem. I am literally wearing my baby right now. lmao Plus, writing Gendry as a dad is both sweet and sad and I love writing him anyways.
It was his one day off, which usually meant lounging around the house with Ryder, but there was too much to be done. Arya had been stuck with mid-terms all week, which wouldnât have been bad if she wasnât also knee-deep in her senior thesis research project. In between late night feedings and pulling near all-nighters alongside of it to finish her homework, she wasnât getting any sleep. She wasnât going to admit to being exhausted, but the dark bags under her eyes and her sluggish movements around the house told another story.
Being a mom was tiring enough, but combine that with the last semester of college, along with helping her sister plan her wedding, and it was a nightmare. Arya was tired and too stubborn to admit it.
Luckily, Gendry had learned how to be sneaky about helping her back when they were still just friends. After sheâd come home from class, they ate dinner, although hers had been interrupted by Ryder wanting to eat. Gendry cleaned up and patiently waited while she feed Ryder until he heard what heâd been waiting for. Arya would also never admit to snoring, but she did so when she was dead tired. When he peered into the living room, there was Arya passed out on the couch, her head tipped back, her arms protectively around their son, while he slept nestled against her on the boppy pillow.
Knowing he only had a few minutes to get everything done, Gendry went into rush mode. First, he put on the baby wrap, which heâd gotten a lot more familiar with since his first attempt. It wasnât nearly as terrifying now, but the trick was getting him in it at the right time. After carefully picking up Ryder and placing him in his swing, Gendry scooped Arya up from the couch. She mumbled in her sleep against his chest, but when he laid her in bed, she curled up, grasped hold of a pillow, and snuggled under the blanket he laid over her. He shut the bedroom door and returned to pick up Ryder, who was starting to squirm in his swing upon realizing he wasnât being held. Hastily Gendry slipped his son inside and then walked around the apartment, bouncing up and down on his heels, until Ryder was asleep again.
Gendry breathed a sigh in relief. The ticking time bomb had been defused.
He wrote a quick note to Arya telling them what was going on, grabbed the few things he needed, and slipped out the door quietly. Heâd learned after years of being around Arya how to be quiet. Once outside, he went to her car (it was bigger and much better than his) and pulled the stroller out. With Ryder tucked against his chest, he wouldnât use the stroller, but Gendry needed it for other things. Luckily, everything he needed to do was only a short walk. Some fresh air would do him good since he was either cooped up in a smelly mechanic shop or the apartment.
First he went his work. He knew damn well that he was going to get teased, but it didnât matter to him. Letting Arya get some well-deserved sleep mattered more than his pride. And besides, it didnât do much to embarrass him anyways.
âOh, look guys, itâs dream daddy Gendry!â Tom called from inside.
Gendry rolled his eyes as he parked the stroller outside and waved a dismissive hand at his coworker. âThis right here,â he said, pointing to his son, âis proof that I can get laid while youâre still trying to woo girls at karaoke bars.â
Tom scoffed and folded his arms across his chest. âI get plenty of women, thank you.â Despite teasing Gendry, he put on some hand sanitizer and strode over towards them so that he could fondly rub Ryderâs head. Arya had trained all of the men to clean up before touching their son. Even without her here, the threat loomed heavily over all of them. âHowâs the pup today?â
âPassed out for now,â Gendry sighed in relief as they walked to the office.
âAnd the mama she-wolf?â
Gendry smiled at the nickname. âAlso passed out.â
âGood,â Tom said decisively. âShe deserves it.â Then, he punched Gendry in the arm. âWhen are you two going to come out? Itâs been a while! I know, I know â youâre parents now, but youâre not antisocial or dead. You both need some time to yourselves, not just separately.â
All Gendry could do was shrug his shoulders. âI think sheâs scared of leaving him for anything but school, like itâll make her look like a bad mom or something. Getting her to sleep or eat is a struggle sometimes.â
Tom tsked. âArya sure is a funny girl.â Then he grinned and slapped Gendry on the back. âStill strange as hell seeing how bloody domestic you two are. Itâs positively adorable, isnât it, Lem?â
âDoesnât seem too far off,â Lem replied as he stepped out of the office. âOur boy here has always had a soft spot for kids. Remember how he used to give his lunch away to the mom and her little girl at the park?â
âOh, you were a dad in the making!â Tom teased.
Gendry shoved Tom away before the man could give him a mocking hug and walked into the office, cutting off the other two menâs laughter. Once there, he got his check for the past two weeks and then looked at the schedule. The upper management training marked on his line still made him feel uncomfortable, but it was a good thing. Better pay and hours. Heâd worked his ass off for this. Didnât make it feel any less odd. He was so used to being out on the floor and in the grime all the time. He liked it out there. But they needed this. Ryder needed this. Sacrifices had to be made on all fronts.
Once his business at work was taken care of and he showed Ryder off to everyone, Gendry deposited his check in the bank across the street and walked to the grocery store a little further away. It was nice being so close to everything. They had lucked out when the apartment they lived in now became available, but even more so that her parents had helped them get them on their feet. To be honest, it still humiliated Gendry to think about, but Arya had been so grouchy with him for his apologies.
âWeâre here to help, Gendry,â her father had said, âand we know youâll take good care of our Arya. Accepting help is nothing to be ashamed about. Besides, let us spoil our first grandchild.â
The concept of having a father that wanted to help â that wanted to just be around â was completely lost on Gendry. His mother mightâve died when he was young, but at least sheâd stuck around for as long as her body allowed her. His dad was⊠Well, his dad was dead too, but heâd never bothered to show his face after Gendry was born. Too important and wealthy to admit to getting a cocktail waitress pregnant, heâd paid his mom off to keep silent and waived away all paternity rights. Heâd done the same with his half-sister Mya.
Still, sometimes Gendry wondered, if his dad mightâve come around later on. He had been best friends with Aryaâs father. Meeting him wouldâve happened eventually. Gendry had seen him once, shortly before the man had a heart attack, at some function at Aryaâs parentsâ house that sheâd dragged him to, but the moment Gendry had realized who the man was, he had spent the rest of the party acting like some sort of ninja to evade him. Then he was gone.
But what would have happened had they met? Would his father have pretended not to know him? Would he act apologetic in public and then avoid him? Would he have been curious once Gendry and Arya started dating? Would he have wanted to be involved once he had found out that he was technically going to be a grandfather?
Gendry would never know how either his mom or dad wouldâve reacted to becoming grandparents. Being an orphan hadnât bothered him for a very long time. Only until Arya became pregnant and her family stepped further into their lives did he realize that he was missing something that many people took for granted. It had beenâŠdifficult. Harder than he liked to admit. Like there was something else he couldnât give his son, even though it wasnât his fault.
Once they were at the store, Gendry used the stroller as a shopping cart. He didnât care how ridiculous and cheap it looked. A few people gave him strange looks, even judgmental ones, but it didnât phase him in the slightest. How was he supposed to carry his son and groceries home without anything to carry them in? He was being practical.
Of course, a few women stopped to look at Ryder and coo over him, all with varying reactions concerning Gendryâs role. There was the, âI would never trust my husband alone with my baby, but your wife must be brave!â woman, who laughed like it was so funny. Gendry did not point out that Ryderâs mom was not his wife (âŠnot yet at least â school first â though it weighed heavily on his mind and made him anxious). Then there was the, âThey just donât make men like you these days!â woman, who had three kids of her own and looked frazzled. It made him feel sad. Another woman actually started trying to flirt with him in the cereal aisle, so he grabbed a box at random, awkwardly said goodbye, and hurried away.
People were so weird when it came to talking to parents with kids. Like they had a right to lay their opinion. It mind-boggled Gendry. No one had paid him any attention during this little errands before, but now they flocked to him, like theyâd never seen a dad with their kid in public before. Was it that unusual?
By the time they made it back home, Ryder was starting to get fussy, probably hot in the baby wrap and also hungry. The boy could eat. It was also beginning to rain, so it was perfect timing. When they got back into the apartment, it was quiet. He laid Ryder down in the swing, willing him to be quiet for just a little while longer, and slipped out of the baby wrap. Upon walking into the bedroom, he found Arya still asleep, but her body was moving too, as if it could tell that Ryder would be awake soon.
Still, Gendry slipped into the bed behind her and wrapped his arms around her, pressing his nose into her hair and taking a deep breath. He allowed all his muscles to relax as he held her. Slowly, he felt her move underneath him until sheâd wiggled in his arms to turn around and face him. âHave a nice nap?â
Arya rubbed her eyes. âHow long was I out?â
âA good two hours.â
âRyderââ
Sheâd started to sit up, but he held her down and simply said, âAsleep â for now,â and she eased back down in the bed.
Instead of closing her eyes to drift off again, even though he knew that she was still tired, she leaned closer to him and kissed him. He kissed her back, lazily, taking his sweet time, but then she pressed her body up against his. Her kisses became more insistent and she gripped him tightly, pulling him closer to her and rocking her body into his.
Now this was something that they hadnât been able to do in a while. Half for recovery reasons and the other half because they had no time to themselves. His body reacted immediately, a groan building up in his chest. He rolled over so that he was on top of her and pressed his hips down against her, causing her to let out a gasp. A grin appeared on his face as he kissed down her neck and she hastily moved to undo his pantsâ
And then a piercing wail from the other room startled them both so badly that they jumped and Gendry nearly fell off the bed.
âWell, that was fun,â he said with a laugh.
Arya sighed and dropped her head back against the pillow. âIâllââ
âDonât worry about it,â Gendry told her as he rolled off of her and got up from the bed. âThereâs a bottle in the fridge. You rest. Iâve got it.â
âAre you sure?â Arya asked, peering at him warily.
âLet me spoil the mother of my child and spend some time with him,â Gendry told her, leaning over to kiss her on the forehead. âBesides, youâre moody when youâre tired, just like him.â
He just barely dodged the pillow that she threw at him as he hastily made his retreat into the living room to scoop up their son and soothe him. Yeah, domestic life was weird and he hadnât really given much thought to being a father, but this was exactly where he wanted to be.

Got confirmation from his mother today that all of this is bull. So his initial lie was that two long time friends that don't know each other both saw me posting sex adds to Craigslist and other fettish websites (lmao the shy in me dies a little of laughter at this accusation) and he did not have "proof" because they both showed him on their phones irl. Now I knew, of course, that I had not done these things and was very confident it was all bull. But, I never put anything past the internet. Shady people use fake pics and info online all of the time. Nevertheless, he feels like this warranted him the right to manipulate me and lie to me for two months, completely and utterly unapologetically. Telling me that he loved me and that we had a future together. Cuddling me every night and being naked together all the while planning on stabbing me in the back. This reality was fucked up and left me real confused. I felt violated and taken advantage of. But, I began to realize that if there was any truth to the accusation his behavior and actions really highlighted for me just how not worth it of a partner he was anyways Fast forward, and we're being civil together. I even extended an olive branch advocating for friendship post breakup. I'm stupid. And once I realized why that was dumb I shot that idea down real quick. But we were still civil. He said my job was completely safe. He told me he didn't tell his parents (his mom is my boss) the circumstances behind our breakup. He told me he doesn't really talk to his parents about that sort of thing and that I'm fine with my job. (Enter a plethora of other random white lies here) Fast forward to last Saturday 10/28 and I get a call from his best friend asking me if I really cheated because he was being really shitty and making up a bunch of lies about her, saying he was actively trying to get her to cheat on her gf with him. Oh yeah, the kicker! Apparently he's been in love with her for like 5 years and admitted that to her on Saturday as well? But I'm the shady one. Another shock, he told her that his mom ( my boss) said based on the browsing history on a work computer that I was looking at fetish websites while at work. đČđČ like...if that were something I would even do I would NOT be dumb enough to do that at work. The fuck. I confronted him about this the following day and what do you know? More lies. "Of course I tell my mom everything that was all bull" "I didn't want you to worry for your job but whatever I don't know why I even fucking care" etc... so basically he lied about lying about a lie and somehow expects me to believe the current version of his story...right. But here's the fucking thing. This is my job and livelihood we're talking about. You want to lie and say your friends supposedly saw some shit. Fine. But don't bring me work into it. After spending all week anxious about this I finally decided to say something to my boss to make sure we were good. And she was angry that someone would make that up. And shocked. So now I have confirmation that is a lie. So you admitted to lying about supposedly having two friends that saw something to admit that it was really your mom who saw something the whole time and now even your mom says your lying. Dude. I don't know where you get off thinking this sort of game is okay to play with people but it's fucked up. Please. Continue to write some shitty spoken word poem about how you were once again fucked over by a loved one. I'll be there to see your novel and laugh. Laugh at how disgusting and evil of a human being you have proven to be.
