Hi! I was wondering if you could recommend me some F1 blogs? Interested in edits, fanfic, rambles.. anything really!
hi darling anon!! i'm flattered? nobody's asked me for recommendations but i'm more than happy to give some.
i love all of these accounts dearly and consume their content whenever i can- this is a long onev (ive never been the decisive type), so brace yourselves.
disclaimer: i heavily do mainly consume carlos content- and although not all of these accounts are to feed my carlos consumption needs, most of them are.
edits (or more general content)
@artemispt - makes the best compilations and always has the best carlos/carlando posts, love love love (personal shoutout for the back compilation
@sssainzz - im obsessed with dani and yall know that. the amount of effort she puts in what she posts? her concepts are also so much fun? she made a whole visual for f1 2023 season predictions. literally do not deserve her.
i also always love all the content that's posted by @whewchilly , @palalabu , @cesiumclock, @mediapen
fanfics
@silverstonesainz - you know i can never shut up about dani. i love every single piece of her writing dearly. the way she writes is beautiful and i would recommend any of her work (fics, insta aus, any).
@holllandtrash - the obsession i have with em's series is embarrassing. she somehow always gets me engrossed with the plot and ropes me in. again, amazing writing. currently obsessed w her 6 to 1 series (and dont get me started w her secret admin series).
@scuderiasundays - love love love love emme's insta aus. theyre so cute and fun, they always leave a warm feeling in my heart. it feeds my soul.
@schuvries - anything spirit writes gives me goosebumps. i need to continue her series but when i tell you her writing makes you feel. will recommend her through and through.
@lxclerc - i would recommmend any of their work. their writing makes my skin crawl (in the best way possible). call out my name & moth to a flame? it's embarassing how often i read that.
rambles
tbh i do not really follow any accounts for the rambles- although i do love some good chisme. i always enjoy reading posts from @champagnepodiums (and the amount of effort they put in the stats etc is astonishing), i also love what is posted on @sainz, and i love reading dom's (@sainzcaleruega's) reactions/tags (pure unhinged brainrot).
i do think most of the recommended people i have are quite known but i am obsessed with their work and content, but i hope i was a bit helpful <3

One of the greatest things Doppo ever did was rip off the ribs from some random child murderer he decided to stalk because he's a freak like that
And one of the worst things he did was drop the f slur but it's ok he can reclaim it

Series MasterlistĀ 
"Good job you two! This is all yours now.ā€
Dream had led you and Eret back to the castle, all of them still battered and bruised from the war they recently had. You had already taken off your armor and now you were wearing underneath your L'Manburg outfit that was torn and burnt showing some of your skin which was also burnt or cut. You had noticed on the way to the castle that Dream had kept on looking at the outfit that Eret and you had on with disgust, like a taunt.
You could finally relax in the huge castle that you apparently deserved because you and Eret had taken the first lives of the citizens of L'Manburg. In your heart you knew that L'Manburg was still a country. They all have two more lives and they will build the country up again with those two lives. You sighed then kept walking into the throne room. you looked at the two big thrones that sat next to each other. One for a king and one for a queen.
"Why are you standing there? Sit down! Relax!" Dream patted one of the thrones.
You and Eret had sat down on the thrones next to each other looking around the huge throne room and Dream smiling right in front of them. Once you both sat down you tried to sit up straight, but you wanted to slump down into the comfy, plush, velvet and gold chair. The two of them sat on velvet and gold thrones while in burnt and torn L'Manburg uniforms. It was a sight to see, and if someone didn't know the context of what just happened, this scene would've made sense to them.
"I'm happy you did this. You deserve all of this." Dream said while walking along the marble floor.
"It's beautiful, but I'm exhausted." You let your head fall to the side. You sighed wanting Dream to leave so you could finally get some rest.
"I bet."
"Eret are you okay?" You spoke up after Dream.
Eret had a look that you couldn't make out. He just stared off into space in his own mind. He shook his head after you called for him again.
"Yeah, yeah I am fine. I'm just thinking." Eret quickly responded.
"What are you thinking about?" Dream said in a monotone voice.
"If we did the right thing." Eret sighed.
You slowly nodded because you were thinking the exact same thing. They were traitors, you had built somewhat of a connection with those people you helped kill. And now what? you're living in a huge castle and apparently you "Shouldn't be feeling this way", Dream claimed.
"You two are overreacting. They are fine." Dream said bluntly while staring at them with a straight face.
That was a huge lie, their lives were taken today. They're not just ā€œfineā€.
"You two were never a part of that place anyways. This is your home! Why would you need to wear those hideous colors? They look bad on you, it's unflattering. There is no need to go back." Dream explained.
You hang your head not knowing what to say to the man, there wasnā€™t really anything to say but you spoke up hoping the words will come to you.
"I don't-"
"You don't have to say anything, it's okay. You're safe now. Did you get hurt?" Dream asked.
The bruises and scars said differently.
"Remember when I said that?" Dream pushed the question.
You rubbed a burn mark on your wrist and laughed a bit. "No! Actually I don't. We're safe now, but that doesn't mean we aren't hurt." You chuckled in disbelief.
"Well maybe if you listened to me you wouldn't be so anxious. If you listened you wouldn't have been so hesitant. You're safe." Dream said sternly.
"Maybe you're tired, Dream. We're all tired. Shall we go to bed?" Eret stood up and held out his hand to help you up from your seat.
You accepted his hand and started to follow Eret through the huge castle making your way through the huge, high ceiling halls. The three walked towards the king's and queen's room in the castle, Dream kept a slower pace and walked behind the two wanting to get one more word in before leaving the castle.
"If you two are ever in doubt just remember that you are on the right side of history." Dream said then turned around to leave the two alone.
You both stopped and turned around to see Dreamā€™s back facing the both of you as he walked away. You and Eret eventually made it to your new bedrooms. There was a big door which held a huge room made for the both of them to sleep in and two separate rooms next to the bigger door which were made for one person. Eret and you stood in front of the bigger door staring at the intricate designs on the door not speaking to each other.
"So?" Eret laughed.
"So!" You exclaimed while chuckling.
"Are you okay sleeping in that huge room tonight?" Eret asked.
"I'm not totally comfortable with that, but it would be weird if we slept in the same bed. Don't get me wrong! You're a great friend, but-"
"Y/N/N stop! I'm okay with that too. I wasn't looking to sleep in the same bed. Yes we're married, but we're just staying friends, hey we might get a divorce later." Eret explained.
"If I do, we won't be king and queen anymore." You said softly to your husband.
"Is that what you want? To be "queen"?" Eret asked while putting air quotes around the word queen.
You paused for a moment then answered his question.
"I don't know where I'm supposed to be, Eret." You looked up at him sadly and he pulled you in for a hug. It took you everything you had to not cry into the L'Manburg uniform Eret was wearing. Today drained you mentally and physically, your hands were raw from shooting arrows, you had burn marks on your skin and your feet hurt from running through the kingdom. You werenā€™t sure about where you would go, because this didn't feel like your home.
"Let's go to bed and we'll talk in the morning. Rest on it because I'll happily divorce you so you can find your place in this huge kingdom." Eret laughed and let you out of his arms.
You chuckled and then let him go walking into what was supposed to be the queen's room and right next to it was the king's room which they both walked in after saying goodnight and closing their doors finally having time to themselves after a long day.
You finally took off the L'Manburg uniform and laid it on a velvet chair in the corner of the huge room. You stared at the uniform before going to the nearest closet and picking out something to wear for that night. The queen's room was basically the huge couple's room that you found before, but just with a smaller bed. There were still trinkets, jewelry and even clothes in the closet. you took a nightgown out of the closet and sat on the plush bed. You ended up laying down staring at the high ceiling thinking of the predicament Eret's question brought.
You finally retired for the night and crawled into bed and got under the soft covers. The window was open so a soft cool breeze was blowing through the room letting the curtains flow with the breeze. If you left you wouldn't have anywhere to go except back to L'Manburg, they would never let you back even if you tried. They probably hated your guts by now, so maybe divorcing wasn't a good idea. You had a set home here, you had food, clothes, and you weren't under attack every minute. you didn't have to watch your back for any enemies.
Your mind slowed down as you finally lulled yourself into a deep sleep forgetting the troubles in your mind for only a moment.
-------------------
The sunset fell over the horizon making it a gold, red color. It was beautiful. The trees were illuminated and the lakes had a certain glow to them. you could see mobs began to crawl out of the ground and caves, but you was safe up here.
You looked down and saw the familiar obsidian walls. It seemed like a faint memory, but in reality the walls were real. It was like you could feel the stone underneath your feet at this moment. you could see inside L'Manburg.
you saw Tubbo and Tommy laying in the grass talking to one another. you saw Fundy sleeping in the grass next to them. There were two new faces you had never seen before. It was a woman with short pink hair and another man with a shaved head. It might've been your mind putting people in your dreams to fill space. Then you saw Eret sitting by a small river letting his bare feet flow in the water. It was a peaceful scene.
"Beautiful sunset isn't it?" A voice showed up beside you.
It was Wilbur. He had his uniform on, it was clean like the war didn't even happen.
"It is really beautiful." You agreed watching the sun continue to lower over the trees.
"You know everything the sun touches is yours? It's all of ours. It just so happens that you can see the sunset and sunrise from L'Manburg. You can do anything as long as you see the sun rise and fall." Wilbur said, keeping his gaze soft at the sunset.
You hummed but stayed quiet admiring his words and the sunset.
"Let me tell you what I wish I'd known when I was young and dreamed of glory. You have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story. After you took one of my lives away I understand now. You can't control other people and their motivations."
You hang your head in disappointment, but then Wilbur continued.
"But I know that we can win. I know that greatness lies in you, but remember from here on in that history has its eyes on you. History will forever have its eyes on you no matter what you do." Wilbur looked into your eyes as the sun set on the two of them the stars began to shine.
The light brown eyes Wilbur had turned darker because of the sunlight being gone. You looked out back at the mobs in the forest and the huge towers in the sky made the kingdoms members. you turned around and looked into L'Manburg. Or what was considered L'Manburg.
There was no one there anymore, instead of people there were huge amounts of TNT that filled the walls behind them. you could hear faint voices around them, people that you didn't know. It sounded like chaos. you whipped your head around to Wilbur who was dressed in a brown tattered trench coat, brown pants, and a white shirt instead of the L'Manburg uniform.
He had a cigarette in his mouth and matches in his hands. He smirked at you as the voices around you got louder and your head sounded like you were in the middle of a tornado. your head was buzzing as your eyes couldn't focus on Wilbur in front of you. It felt like these moments were happening right in front of your all at one time.
"You want to be a hero Tommy?"
"You know if I die, this country goes down with me."
"if respect is the only thing protecting you from a knife in the back, then respect is nothing, right?"
"Kill me, Phil. Phil, kill me, Phil kill me! Phil, stab me with the sword, murder me now, kill me! Look-"
"You know Y/N" Wilbur started next to you. He lit a match and turned around to L'Manburg which was now filled with TNT.
"Somethings. Somethings were never meant to be." He threw the match into the huge pile of TNT and all in a second the obsidian underneath your feet disappeared as you fell into the explosion beneath you.
-------------------------
"Fuck! Where am I?!" You shot up from your sleeping position in a cold sweat.
You frantically felt around the bed trying to convince yourself that you were physically at the castle in your bed. You finally caught your breath and laid back down in your bed finding yourself staring at the ceiling again. Even with the window open blowing cool air into the room, your skin still felt hot. You ended up tossing the covers off of you and making your way towards the entrance of the kingdom to get some air.
That dream was so much stuff in it you couldn't comprehend all of it. It was like Wilbur was there as if he was talking to you directly and it wasn't a dream and it made you second guess yourself and think that it may have not been a dream. You finally made it outside and sat on one of the steps that led people up into the kingdom. you sighed and breathed in the fresh air and it immediately relaxed your body and mind. You were alive, you were here and sadly Wilbur wasn't there. You closed your eyes and felt the breeze around you until you were startled by a figure beside you.
"You're up late. I thought you said you were mentally tired." Dream chuckled sitting beside you.
"I had a bad dream." You sighed.
"Hey don't take my name in vain like that" Dream laughed trying to bring up your mood.
Dream sighed and stood back up when he didn't get a response from his companion.
"Come one, let's go. Let's get your mind off of the one bad dream." Dream held his hand out, gesturing to you to take it.
You took his hand and then released it letting him lead the way to wherever the wind may take them. The dream is currently still stuck in your head. The voices from different people confused you and made your head spin.
"You want to be a hero Tommy?" What did that mean? Was someone threatening Tommy? Will someone threaten Tommy? You grew to care for that kid.
Who said "If I die, this country goes down with me"? What country. L'Manburg?
"If respect is the only thing protecting you from a knife in the back, then respect is nothing, right?" That one stumped you the most. you didn't even know if this was being spoken to you or to someone else. All of them except for the Tommy one.
Were they all even dreams? The one that haunted your mind the most was the one where someone was telling a man named Phil to kill them. Were you there for that moment? Did Phil kill the person? Who was Phil? All these thoughts and questions plagued your mind so much that your feet mindlessly carried you wherever Dream led you to.
"Here we are." Dream led You on top of a hill, a tall enough hill to see the main attraction. The place you missed the most, L'Manburg.
Tears started to form in your eyes and you tried blinking them away. All the moments of that dream appeared in your brain, but even stronger. you never felt these emotions before. Maybe L'Manburg was your home all along. you missed seeing Tubbo, Tommy, Eret and Fundy doing their own thing while your and Wilbur had a deep talk inside the van. you had spent weeks with them growing too attached to them and then ended up becoming a traitor.
"That place. You never belonged there. You're too good for them." Dream started and you stayed quiet watching the stars begin to disappear.
"Do you trust me?" Dream asked.
You stayed quiet not having the answer he wanted to hear. He wanted to hear you say that you trusted him when in reality you couldnā€™t, you weren't fully there yet, not anymore.Ā 
"They lied to you. It's not your home." Dream continued on letting you listen and not talk.
"How did you know if someone said it was my home or not?" You asked, startled.
"I might've been keeping an eye on you. I wanted to make sure my flower was okay." Dream kept his gaze on L'Manburg.
"Stop calling me that." You sighed.
"I never started. This was the first time I said that. Who called you flower?" Dream suddenly got serious, staring at you.
you kept your sights on the obsidian walls, not sparing him a glance. The stars began to fade and the sun peeked over the horizon. As they stayed longer the sun rose over the walls of L'Manburg. You started to remember the words in the dream you had.
"You know everything the sun touches is yours? It's all of ours. It just so happens that you can see the sunset and sunrise from L'Manburg. You can do anything as long as you see the sun rise and fall."
L'Manburg stands for independence. Independence. That word kept ringing through your head like a mantra until a few voices below the hill and near the walls alerted you.
"HEY! Hey Wilbur! Give me back my shit!" Tommy yelled as he stomped after the older man.
"Wilbur get Tommy to stop shouting and give him his swords back please!" Fundy yelled trailing behind the two.
"No not until he learns not to go start stabbing shit!" Wilbur yelled back at the other two.
You missed that. you missed the bickering and the nonsense they all shared. you were upset that Tommy still hadn't learned his lesson and you wished you were there beside them at that moment.
Dream spoke up giving you a look you couldnā€™t quite get. "You are never allowed to step inside those walls again.
"What gives you the right to tell me what and what not to do? Who does that make you? Who do you think-"
"YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO GO IN THOSE WALLS!" Dream yelled getting dangerously close to you.
You continued to stare at those blue eyes as the bright sun rose over the dark walls of Lā€™Manburg. you didn't say anything but descended down the mountain alone with the sounds of Tommy, Fundy, and Wilbur bickering in the background, wishing you were there and not next to the man next to you who was staring at you angrily.
"I know whatā€™s good for you! I know what's good for this country! Just trust me Y/N!" Dream yelled starting an argument
"Would you calm down! You came here to be all quiet and now you're yelling at me. You might want to be quiet before Wilbur hears you. Or do you want me to get him myself?" You yelled back, getting furious.
"Oh you wish! He doesn't care for you as much as me, Sapnap and George do! They agree as well!"
"Don't put words into his mouth!" You accused
"Oh! So if he cares so fucking much he would've help save you. And do you know what would happen if he saved you?! You would've died! I saved you! You were in a perfect situation and all you had to do is not complain! You're always overreacting." Dream ended with a huff and rolled his eyes while turning away..
you were speechless at this point. Overwhelming emotions consumed you. you couldn't believe you were overreacting. Maybe Wilbur wasn't everything you needed. you were overreacting, you were being selfish too. Dream was right. Dream walked over to you pulling you in a hug with L'Manburg was still in your sights.
"I did everything because I love you. You're too precious for them, you're not for them. They don't deserve you, you deserve someone who wants the best for you. A flower that needs a home and I'm here to give it to you." Dream softly explained.
Your eyes kept tearing up at the words and different emotions flowing through you. The sights on L'Manburg make your memories and questions come back. Where did you belong? But more importantly who was telling the truth?

she just shows up when it's convenient? is she gonna be at the sleepover too?
Seb's heavy swallow after Carlos shouts at him makes me so sad
"I never learned how to lie but I figure if I keep my mouth closed, I can't tell the truth" *nods and smiles at Nini when she asks*
why are they casually standing up all over the pizza shop, just sit at a big table and talk instead of blocking passageways and blocking off at least 6 tables-
"how about I invite myself" WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS FEEL THE NEED TO INVITE THEMSELVES TO ASHLYN'S HOUSE-
YOU CAN ASK BUT JUST FORCE YOUR WAY IN?
so Cash Caswell has a bigger house than... Dennis Caswell.... who would've thought
ah yes there's the good old EJ 1.0
Nini: "boys vs girls"
Gina: *looks devastated and glances longingly at EJ*
way to be inconspicuous
"but north high should be" *cracks her knuckles in the most uncomfortable way*
good for Ashlyn for getting more confident though
oo bossy big red
"i get bossy around the power tools"
is that why Ashlyn was holding up the drill in episode 8 orrrr šŸ¤ 
oh
Lily, leave him alone please
she's literally not blinking, is that what makes her creepy?
the diss at big red and his face afterwards is priceless
isn't that similar to what Gina's mom said to her in season 1? hmmmm
but seriously please don't try to redeem lily, let us have a character to hate, or to love because they're evil.
not everyone's a good guy.
"im not liked here and I don't know what to do"
let antoine finish his salad and it'll fix everything
"hug emoji" *gags*
y'all realize Lily's literally 14?
why is she calling a 16/17 year old from another school for personal advice-
"he gets weird around tools"
I shouldn't be laughing so hard
"deja vu maybe?" awkward silence
I'm dying here I love EJ so so so so much
"where's seb"
*cuts to seb being held hostage hoping that they'd notice he's missing and go look for him*
"don't ask"
"oh ok"
"100% real faux fur" as you should queen
sponsored by target
Kourtney is singlehandedly saving the entire show.
Seb making finger guns make me happier than it should
why is this kinda making me want to have a co-ed sleepover with my non-existent theatre friends
YES YOU DO NEED TO TALK/SING TO SEB CARLOS THANK YOU FOR KNOWING THAT
wait what-
you haven't talked to him all WEEK-
Carlos are you stupid /hj
Benjamin is so adorable I can't
he turned around to come back for her instead of going home. you're "what do you want JennšŸ™„X act isn't fooling anyone Benjamin šŸ™ƒ
10101
1+4+16= 21st?
they placed 21st?
or do I just not remember how to convert to base ten
GIRL DON'T BE RUDE TO HIM, HE'S GONNA SAVE YALL
no ms Jenn, the kids are not eccentric 35 year olds.
aww sebby
is he thinking that Carlos is only with him cuz he's the only other openly gay guy at school-
son you are a perfect little bean don't put yourself down
yes they all ship portwell as they should.
they'll be throwing risotto at the wedding.
not the chocolates. stop there are no chocolates. please stop I'm dying.
Gina you don't have to explain yourself to her
it was a misunderstanding and it's in the past
why is Ashlyn still laughing-
exactly it wasn't a big deal please just move on Nini
Kourtney really be out here saving everything
WHY IS ASHLYN STILL LAUGHING
why do I feel like when Gina finally told Ash about it, she didn't think it was that funny but wanted to feel included in the inside joke so now she brings it up randomly to show that she's in on it....I totally don't do that...
"idk, the farmer type" oh son...
Ashlyn and big red are just spilling the secrets back and forth huh?
OOO EJ AND GINA SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-
cmon guys don't look at me like that-
"she is the best" and "we're buddies" don't sound right together
"pretty boy" "sweet boy" best ways to describe EJ
I love him.
and aw he's scared of rejection so he'll hold back just to keep her happy and not awkward how sweet
is Ricky wondering if letting her go(literally his song from last episode) was the best thing he did for Nini because he doesn't feel like it now? hmmm this is getting good
why is everyone so invested in Kourtney and Howie's relationship
PACK UP THE LAZY RICKY THING
oh yes Benji, that's exactly what she's doing
she couldn't follow her dream or whatever so now she's using the kids to gain some of the success she craves. why else would she have that massive hsm poster with her name on it in huge letters in her office.
just casually grab his hand with both your hands and stare at him creepily šŸ„°
ship jennzzara y'all
the first bump was a missed opportunity to do the baymax "falalala" as a reference to the fact that they watched big hero six while committing arsonāœ‹
wait so big red and EJ just left Ricky in the basement and now Ricky invited Carlos when they're supposed to be at the stage?
help no Ricky looks like he's about to tell Carlos he likes him (I know it's about writing the song for seb but still, look at his body language and tell me it doesn't look like that)
Ricky is so mature about this, he really just wants Nini to be happy even though he's hurting-
baby you deserve love, maybe Nini isn't the one for you but don't say you don't deserve it
why does he keep adding bro to the end like he doesn't know how to address Carlos
PLEASE CARLOS HAVING TO ADDRESS THE BRO THING
"let's write a song when we have like 45 minutes to get to the place and help our friends possibly win $50000 at the show in 2 weeks"
"can you hit a high C?"
"that's like the bottom of my range"
why am I laughing
this is so cool to see friendship interactions that we don't normally get to see
Nini why are you being like this-
Gina did nothing wrong??
I saw that, EJ and Gina being the only ones going in the same directionšŸ‘€
right so obviously Kourtney's waiting until after the menkies to get back with Howie just in case he really is just using her as a way in to east high... obviously... right?
CARLOS
OK ITS COMING GET READY YALL
Why is portwell so awkward all of a sudden
OMG EJ
OMG GINA SAY YES or not, do what you want.
the way she doubts that EJ would genuinely ask so she has to make sure it's not Ashlyn behind it
OH
THE "NOT THAT I KNOW OF"
LIKE WHAT GINA SAID TO JACK ABOUT EJ BEING HER BOYFRIEND
GUYS THEY'RE SOULMATES
I want risotto now please
THEY'RE SO SWEET AND ADORABLY AWKWARD ITS LIKEEK LITTLE KIDS
OOOOOOO what is this place that seblos is in, looks fancy....and secluded
oh wait no Ricky's just standing there
wait is it the bomb shelter
it looks so good what
HSKAGSJAGAJAGWISGSKAUASBWKSVAIWBAISBQKSHIQBWOABWOABDOQBZIQBAIAQBSIWBQISVQKSIANSGOQBSAISBKASBKWBAIABQOSBBSJAHAJAVAJSBAJHSKAHSJAHAJAJAAJAHHHHHHHH
@youranxiousnerd ARE YOU OK?
CUZ IM NOT OK
LOOK AT SEBBY'S FACE
LOOK AT HOW ADORABLE IT IS
THE LYRICS ARE KILLING ME
SEBLOS IS KILLING ME
I AM DEAD
PLEASE SEND HELP
I like to imagine that Frankie and Joe practiced this in their apartment and just had a blast with it.
or maybe that Frankie practiced in secret like what Joe did for the climb
OH THE SUITS
THATS WHERE THAT CLIP IN THE PROMO WAS FROM
AWWW SEBBY'S SO CUTE
HE'S A LITTLE MARSHMALLOW
they're still so awkward with the dance I cant
let's appreciate Frankie's voice though
this episode really was made just for the seblos and portwell stans and you gotta love it
BIG RED GET OUT
WHY DOES HE ALWAYS DO THIS
Seb's little "yeah" IS ADORABLE
you can't tell me that wouldn't have been the best time for them to say I love you....IF FREAKIN BIG RED WASN'T THERE
ok but wait Ricky needs more hugs like that, look at his face
the boy needs love
"bro" please don't let Ricky and Carlos go back to not talking because their friendship is amazing
EJ laughing at Ricky sounding like a cat coughing up a furball is so funny to me
RICKY'S FLOP GETS ME EVERYTIME
I knew it was too good to be true
ok so Ricky's dead, next in line please
this episode was so short but I love it so much. this is what I signed up for for season 2āœ‹

not sure why anons always think they know my weight and assume i am "above average" like what does that even mean lmao. and as if I would ever put that on the internet. I think I have put one, maybe two photos of myself ever on this blog so odds of yall even knowing what I look like are slim unless you follow me across all my social media. saying that I am somehow less deserving of treatment and care because of my weight is just shitty, esp when only 6% of those with EDs are clinically underweight. fuck the 94% of people who are struggling with EDs, I guess. like no i have never been "underweight" (which I could argue that I have been for what my body needs/wants) no i have not had medical complications but that does not mean I do not have an eating disorder lol.

Poolside. (The afterparty)
Lost & Found.
WARNINGS: language, implied sex, alcohol consumption, Kuroo (yes), not proofread.
this is an extra chapter!
You did end up ditching the party with Atsumu, he followed you to your room and spent the night with you. You woke up the next morning with your head on his chest and his arms wrapped around you, despite the missing clothing items on both of your bodies, Atsumu was warm and you could hear him snore softly. You propped yourself on your elbow and tried to wake him up.
ā€œTsumu, weā€™re going to be late, wake up.ā€ He stirred awake and groaned as he stretched his limbs.
ā€œI donā€™t want to go.ā€ He said closing his eyes again.
ā€œI know but we have to, itā€™s getting late and you need to go to your room to get changed.ā€ You ran your fingers through his hair pushing it back to see his face. He groaned again, turning his back to you. ā€œCome on, big baby, get up.ā€ You got him to stand up after a few minutes, but he made sure to complain, and whine and groan loudly to let you know that he didnā€™t want to go. You went to the bathroom to start your morning routine as he got dressed and fixed his hair, you came out of the bathroom pat drying your face with a white towel.
ā€œLetā€™s go to the shopping district later, I want to walk around the city before we go back home.ā€ Atsumu said as he tied his shoes.
ā€œI canā€™t, my train leaves at four.ā€ He chuckled at your answer.
ā€œYou are not riding the train back home by yourself.ā€ He said confidently. ā€œYour boyfriend is coming with you.ā€ You smiled at him and walked closer with your arms crossed. ā€œLetā€™s change your tickets and we can take the 6:00 p.m ride.ā€ He continued.
ā€œAnd Suna?ā€ You asked.
ā€œHe can come with us, he is a shopping addict he is not going to say no.ā€ Atsumu got up and stood in front of you. ā€œCome on, I want to get you a Christmas gift.ā€ He tried to convince you by wiggling his brows.
ā€œYou already gave me a Christmas gift, ā€˜Tsumu.ā€ You rolled your eyes and hugged his waist.
ā€œYou deserve two.ā€ He leaned for a kiss but you stopped him.
ā€œGo shower and brush your teeth and Iā€™ll kiss you.ā€ You said pulling apart.
ā€œYou always do this!ā€ He complained. You walked him to the door and held it open. ā€œIā€™ll see you in an hour.ā€ He looked at you with puppy eyes. With a hand on his shoulder, you forced him to lean down once again and kissed his cheek.
ā€œSo needy.ā€ You sighed.
ā€œOnly for you.ā€ He gave you a cheeky smile and started walking backwards to the elevator and sending you kisses, you made him turn back to see where he was walking and the door in front of yours opened.
ā€œWould you look at that? A-list athlete Miya Atsumu walking out of his publicist room first thing in the morning, you donā€™t see that every day.ā€ Kuroo teased.
ā€œYou were eavesdropping?ā€ You asked unamused.
ā€œCouldnā€™t help myself.ā€ He stretched his back like an old man when you realized that wasnā€™t his room.
ā€œThatā€™s Hidekoā€™s room.ā€ He nodded. ā€œWhy are you coming out of her room?ā€
ā€œThink very hard.ā€ He narrowed his eyes and laughed at your disgusted expression.
ā€œYou fucked my boss? Out of all the people in that party, you decided to hook up with my boss?ā€ You whispered in distress as he smirked, throwing his head back. ā€œYou are unbelievable.ā€
ā€œCome on, it was a great night, we had drinks, hooked up with hot people. Donā€™t tell me you didnā€™t have fun.ā€ He leaned against the door frame.
ā€œNo, sir. You, hooked up with my boss, I spent the night with my boyfriend.ā€ You said with arms crossed, mimicking his position.
ā€œAbout time you got a boyfriend.ā€ He joked. ā€œWell, Iā€™ll see you at the poolside, Hideko is bringing me as her plus one, and I canā€™t say no to free food.ā€ He closed the door and threw his coat over his shoulder.
ā€œYou talk as if you werenā€™t a supervisor at the association.ā€ You deadpanned and he shrugged, after that he left without another word and his damned smirk plastered on his face. ā€˜Annoying.ā€™ You thought.
You tried to put together something that looked at least decent to meet the team owners, the goal was to look casual without freezing to death and to not make a mess with your luggage since you were leaving that same day. Taking a last look in the mirror with pursed lips you huffed, team reunions were always nerve-wracking, Hideko always tried to keep you away from them but today it was inevitable. You took the elevator to the lobby and looked for the salon where the afterparty was being held.
It was a secluded area on the first floor with a terrace next to the pool, ambiance music and the clinking of cups and silverware could be heard from the entrance, waiters walked all over the area with trays of cocktails and appetizers. You recognized a few faces from your higher-ups and people youā€™ve never seen before, naturally, you greeted everyone and started small talks with some of them, coach Foster was the first one to intervene and save you from more awkward conversations with possible sponsors.
ā€œY/N, Imai was asking for you just now! Why donā€™t you go look for her?ā€ He lied, giving you the opportunity to excuse yourself with a promise to talk later with them. You saw Akaashi talking with Inunaki and Atsumu next to the snack bar. You were not sure why it looked like it was a cocktail party rather than brunch. You avoided everyone else while making your way to them. You placed your hand on Atsumuā€™s lower back and he turned to see you.
ā€œHey.ā€ He said. ā€œLong time no see.ā€ You hooked your arms on his and pushed him lightly with your hip making him laugh as he kissed your temple.
ā€œAm I missing something here?ā€ Hideko asked as she sat next to Inunaki with a mimosa in one hand.
ā€œWe know you two are close and grossly in love but this is a bit too much.ā€ Inunaki took a sip of his own mimosa and Hideko hummed in agreement. Akaashi was quiet, he just stared at you knowing what was about to come once Bokuto came back.
ā€œWhen?ā€ He asked you, smiling brightly at him for being the only one who took a hint. ā€˜Last night.ā€™ You answered simply; Inunakiā€™s jaw dropped and Hideko almost screamed of excitement.
ā€œWait, before or after midnight?ā€ She asked abruptly and you heard Inunaki curse under his breath.
ā€œLike five minutes before midnight.ā€ Atsumu recalled raising his brow. Hideko clapped once and closed her eyes doing a little celebration dance.
ā€œPay up, fucker!ā€ She exclaimed holding her hand open, Inunaki shot Atsumu an angry glare and took his wallet out of his pocket claiming it wasnā€™t fair and that he couldā€™ve waited five minutes more to ask you out. ā€œWhere are Bokuto and Thomas? They are not gonna like this one.ā€
ā€œWhat are you talking about, Imai?ā€ Thomas and Bokuto were standing right behind you, he looked at your hand on Atsumuā€™s bicep and then back to Hideko who was still dancing in victory and counting the money Inunaki gave her. ā€œYou have to be kidding me!ā€
ā€œYou decided to man up now? Really?ā€ Bokuto walked past you glaring at Atsumu to place a stack of bills on Hidekoā€™s hand and then Akaashiā€™s. Atsumu and you were so confused, they all had a bet?
ā€œHold up, Keiji, you too?ā€ You asked in disbelief and he smirked.
ā€œI had faith in Miya-san.ā€ He excused himself nonchalantly as Thomas paid him. ā€œIf anything, we were your good luck charm.ā€
ā€œI can believe it from Hideko, but you Keiji-kun?ā€ Atsumu shook his hand in disapproval. You were not mad at all, but you expected something like this from Suna and Osamu rather than your coworkers.
ā€œHideko-san, whereā€™s your plus one?ā€ You decided to tease her a little as payback. She stopped laughing and looked like she wanted to strangle you, now she couldn't escape Inunakiā€™s reckless jokes about her ā€˜getting someā€™.
ā€œHow do you know I have a plus one?ā€ She placed her money on her bag angrily.
ā€œI saw him walking out of your room this morning.ā€ Her eyes widened and you continued. ā€œTall, black and horribly styled hair, and I think he works for the association.ā€
ā€œPlease donā€™t tell me itā€™s Kuroo!ā€ Bokuto started laughing at Hidekoā€™s face, you didn't say anything just started laughing along with Bokuto.
ā€œYou two know him?ā€ Hideko asked.
ā€œHe is our friend.ā€ Akaashi clarified because you were too busy trying to catch your breath.
ā€œBokuto Iā€™ll give your money back if you donā€™t mention this ever again.ā€ Hideko bribed but Bokuto shook his head.
ā€œNah, you can keep it, this is ten times better than money.ā€ Bokuto started laughing again.
ā€œYou are lucky I like your work.ā€ She glared daggers at you as you closed your mouth with a fake zipper still grinning and completely satisfied with your actions. ā€œWell, I have to go. I don't like you guys anymore. Donā€™t drink too much and donā€™t be rude to anyone.ā€ After Hideko left, your other friends also went to wander around the room talking to other people and you were alone with Atsumu.
ā€œSee? What could've happened if you were left alone with that friend of yours last night?ā€ He passed you a cup of sparkling water as he spoke.
ā€œOh, don't worry I don't make the same mistake twice.ā€ You said confidently drinking from your cup and he nodded. It took him a second to look at you with eyes wide open in horror.
ā€œWhat do you mean twice?ā€ You almost choked on your drink at his question.
Oh shit...

ā§ check in tag
tagged by the sweetest angel @propinqxity to do this little tag. this is such a cute list of questions, and some of these i dont think ive been asked before. thank you so much for the tag and the tumblr crush mention lovely. you truly are a bright spot on this website and i mean that sincerely <333
going under a cut because im certain i will ramble ~
1. Why did you choose this url?
its sort of like a pun between yall dont know and the fact that, hopefully, sincerely, chanyeol does not in fact know that i run this blog lmao i changed to this after a long time of being bread-jinie and i wanted to rebrand. i will, however, do my best to never change URLs again because the masterlist switch over was a complete hassle
2. Any sideblogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them
i have a fic recs blog called @yeoldontknowiread. as to why i have it, i know it hasnt been updated in ages since ive been kind of on hiatus, but i think reading and sharing work on this platform is immensely important. i actually read quite a lot of fanfiction, and i try my best to share the things i read. im very very behind on recs at the moment cause i try my best to write something substantial for every recommendation i make. as a writer, i know exactly the kinds of thoughts and feedback on fics that make my heart soar so i try to put in the same energy to my recs. community is only fostered when there is reciprocation
3. How long have you been on Tumblr?
hmmm since april 2017. i actually had my 4 year anniversary this year and i did have plans for things but i got roped into real life things and couldnt celebrate the way i truly wanted to :(
4. Do you have a queue tag?
no but sometimes i think i should. i view tags as a library on top of my knee jerk response to things. most of my tags are just my initial thoughts or feelings at any given moment, so those take precedence over a specific queue tag
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
when i was getting into exo, i was reading fanfiction like crazy. i used to write fanfic quite a lot in other fandoms, but at that time i hadnt written anything in about 2.5 years. exo was the first re-introduction to that feeling of excitement and inspiration. after about 3 weeks of straight reading, i decided i wanted to write again. i wrote the prologue to hero in about two hours and tried logging into AO3 to post it. sadly i forgot all of my log in information because it had been years, and was getting frustrated. i really wanted to put it somewhere out of fear that id lose interest if i didnt do something with it, and everything id read had been on tumblr. so i made a tumblr just to put hero lmao i didnt have any mutuals. it was a blog with straight 0. i hadnt even created an account to interact with writers before that moment, i really thought id be a silent reader forever. but exo woke me back up and for that i am eternally grateful.
6. Why did you choose your icon?
the yours music video is...so stunning? like the colour theory throughout the whole thing is truly so inspiring and gorgeous. and this shot of chanyeol looking at the painting took my breath away, truly. tulips and the color of peach, like do you know how evocative that is? ugh
7. Why did you choose your header
my header was made by @jamaisjoons for my birthday this year because shes literally the most talented person when it comes to graphics. and this was so kind of her to do, i cried a lot
8. What's your post with the most notes?
uhm....either the body through time or truth i cant remember which but i checked recently and its one of those
9. How many mutuals do you have?
honestly at this point im not even sure. i know ive lost a bunch while i was on hiatus because i was basically a dead blog, and some people do dash cleanses. and im certain others have left, too, for their own reasons. still, i have a good core of friends though who are active and that is enough for me
10. How many followers do you have?
more than i probably deserve
11. How many people do you follow?
399
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?
uhm i guess? there was a time when nng was not updated and every wednesday id post the days go by music video in sadness and grief but im not a big shitposter. if i make a text post its usually a life update or me crying about chanyeol, theres no inbetween lmao
13. How often do you use Tumblr every day?
tbh i havent used tumblr that often, not since march i think. i used to use it many times a day, checking in on friends and stuff, but once i started focusing on my phd applications i was only here sporadically. i didnt make an announcement either, just let my blog run on queue so i wasnt totally gone. i think i was checking in twice a week or maybe once every two weeks to refill my queue and check mentions etc. but now that my interviews are done im trying to get back on here daily to reconnect
14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?
ive had my share of disagreements with people and any details about those situations shall remain as they are meant to: private
15. How do you feel about "you need to reblog this" posts?
in what context? like, you need to reblog this or your wish wont come true? or like, please reblog this to spread the word/spread awareness, etc? in the case for the former, i scroll right by. in the case of the latter, if im around and see someone raising a go fund me or some major event is occurring and i find a post with good sources or charities i will reblog. mostly though, the full extent my activism isnt really on this blog. its my escape from reality. my activism is usually placed on other platforms.
16. Do you like tag games?
i doooo!!! theyre so fun i love learning about my friends
17. do you like ask games?
i love those too! theyre so cute and usually a nice way to have interaction immediacy with people in the community
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?
no one. can we please abandon this notion of fame on tumblr? arent we all here to write about some dick and some smut and some fluff and then hang out together and log off? lmao tumblr isnt reality and followers/fame is so arbitrary on this platform, no one has any control over any of it
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?
i am in love with so many people here. let me name a few:
@yehet-me-up @kyungseokie @jenmyeons @j-pping @jamaisjoons @inkedtae @kookdiaries @yoonia @dulcetvk @kithtaehyung @imdifferentshadesofpurple @ditzymax @sugaurora @sahmbtsficrecs @junghelioseok @yeojaa @augustbutwinter @joonscore @btssavedmylifeblr @cutechim @sunshinekims @kimtaehyunq @ouvuo @delhyun @exo-stentialism @sooibian @softyoongiionly @jinseunie @zibermuda @bratkook @1kook @luffles424 @xjoonchildx
and so many other people and mutuals that i am certainly forgetting. love is such an expansive feeling, and it encompasses platonic ardor and creative desire. i admire every single person listed for so many different reasons, and cherish and treasure them or what they provide to the community. love is such an important and broad experience. truly, i hope they feel adored every single day x

Tumblr media
Ā Ā  "I got everything you asked for including the extra lawn chairs. How many people are you expecting anyway?"
Braelin stirred the baked beans before putting them back in the oven "Thirty give or take."
"Thirty?"
"Look, obviously it's getting harder to hide my pregnancy. I'm gaining two pounds a day and I haven't even entered my third trimester. So I figured I get it over with and let everyone know before they hear it from someone else."
Briyanna nodded "Is Roman coming?"
"Yea, he's coming."
"Do you think that's a good idea?"
Braelin laughed almost nervously "No, but I extended the invitation to him a while ago so it would be weird if I went back on it. Besides, his mom and sisters are flying in as well."
Briyanna knew that Braelin didn't always have the best judgment when it came to anything pertaining to Roman and inviting Roman and his family to this barbecue has proven to be no different. Her first instinct as the big sister was to intervene but at the same time, she knew what stress could do to a pregnant woman so she decided it was probably best not to add to it.
Braelin peeked over her shoulder at her big sister who was noticeably quiet "I know what you're thinking."
Tumblr media
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  "I'm sure you do but in the event of full disclosure, I think this could get hella messy. But I want you to know that this is a celebration for your and you'reā€”"
"Twins, I'm having twins."
Briyanna's eyes widen "What?"
Braelin nodded rubbing her belly "There's two growing in here."
"I'mā€” I don't. Are you ok with this?"
Braelin shrugged "I'm ok with it now that I've had time to process it. One was a lot but two almost seemed like too much to handle. But I'm grateful for this journey. I feel like I have a purpose outside of wrestling now that my career is basically over."
"I still think you're giving it too much. Your career is far from over."
"It's definitely shortened thanks to my knee injury but I'm ok. I want to raise my kids."
Briyanna smiled at hearing that. It's only been a few short months and it's obvious that this pregnancy is doing wonders for her sister's maturity. "Well, whatever you decide I'm here for you and" she jumped off the counter to place kisses all over her sisters baby bump "my little munchkins."
Keyon took a moment to assist the scene between his little sisters "Did I miss something?"
Braelin sighed "Nothing, outside the fact that I'm pregnant with twins."

Ā Keyon practically threw the grocery bags on the table before swinging Braelin around in his arms "Baby sister! Are you good? I mean are you aight? You need me to get you something?"
Braelin laughed because Keyon reacted just like this after finding out about all three of Briyanna's kids "I'm tired and hungry all of the time but other than that I'm ok."
"I'm assuming Mama and Daddy don't know yet?"
Braelin shook her head walking over to retrieve the bags from the table "No, that's why I'm having this barbecue so please don't say anything."
Keyon held up his hands "I won't. But I do want y'all to know that mama finna look at me sideways since y'all have given her grandbabies and I didn't."
Briyanna rolled her eyes "I'm sure there are probably six or seven different mini Keyon's running around here somewhere. You hoe."
Braelin threw her head back and laughed. Keyon, on the other hand, look almost affronted "First of all, I don't dip myā€”"
Briyanna held up her hand "Don't even go there."
Keyon winked "So how does Big D feel about being a father."
Braelin's eyes widen "He'sā€”"
"Surprised." Dante said wrapping both arms around his girl's waist "It's almost as if it's happening to someone else. But the best thing about this is, is that I've got our future mapped out so I couldn't be more excited about this new journey." he said looking down at his baby girl "I'm not going anywhere."
Braelin smiled before kissing him on the lips. Could this man be any more perfect?
"I'm happy for yall. For real." Keyon said before giving Dante a bro hug "Welcome to the family."
"We're not engaged."
"Y'all created a life together that bond is more divine than any marriage in my opinion."
Briyanna who noticed how tense Braelin had suddenly gotten thought it was time to change the subject "Keyon, Zayden will be here soon so I think you and Dante should get started on the grill."
Keyon rolled his eyes "Damn, just say you want us to leave and we'll leave."
Briyanna balled up a piece of aluminum foil and tossed it at her big brother's head.
Dante laughed, grabbing the rack of ribs and seasoning following Keyon outside the door.
"Thank you," Braelin mumbled.
"No problem. Was that always the plan?"
Braelin ran a hand through her hair "No, but I mean people are going to assume, right? I mean since Dante and I are togetherā€”"
"No one would expect the alternative and if you're not ready to come clean this is probably what's best."
Braelin nibbled on her bottom lip. There was no way Roman was going to go along with this especially since he has every intention of telling the truth when the time was right. But what about her? was she really willing to take on that kind of stress? She was never one to back down but this was something she couldn't defend or was willing to do so.
"I think this is for the best. I'll talk to them both tonight before making the announcement."
Briyanna wrapped her arms around her baby sister. She knew this wasn't going to be easy on anyone but it had to be done.
Janelle was always a person who thought of herself as a woman who was sought after. She was a strong, beautiful, intelligent, hardworking and self-made career woman. She was the total package. Any man in their right mind would kill to have a woman like her carrying their last name. So you can imagine her surprise that her husband and college sweetheart cheated on her not once but twice with the same woman. Hearing that kind of shit opened a door full of insecurities that she never knew existed. Roman claimed that the other woman didn't mean anything to him. Apparently, they had a few drinks at a bar a few months ago after a house show and one thing led to another. That, of course, didn't give him a pass especially since he somehow managed to fuck the same woman while she was away in Seattle. But she prayed on it and left it to god to determine what was next for her and Roman and right now he was telling her not to give up on her marriage.
"I forgive you."
Roman looked over at her in the passenger seat "What?"
"I hate what you did and there's a part of me that wants to hurt you the way you hurt me, butā€” I can't. I know It's going to take me a while to trust you but I think what we have is worth fighting for."
"We'll talk about it after the party."
Janelle frowned "That's all you have to say to me?"
Roman shook his head "I'm not trying to upset you and that's why I think we should discuss this later. Now it is about having a good time with our friends and family, Can we do that?"
Janelle didn't look at all placated but she nodded anyway. The rest of the drive to Braelin's house was filled with silence.

Ā  "I brought chips and your favorite dessert."
Braelin beamed "Upside down Pineapple cheesecake! Ā What did I do to deserve this?"
Patricia wrapped the small woman in a hug "Consider this a gift for a woman who has everything."
"I don't have everything. At least not everything I want."
Sika walked before walking into the kitchen "Well, isn't that a loaded statement."
"I'm just saying that a girl can have more if she wants. All she has to do isā€”"
"Work a little harder."
Braelin smiled at the new guest "Hi, daddy!"
Richard placed the large bowl potato salad down on the counter before kissing the young woman on the forehead Ā "I was wondering when you were finally going to throw a cookout in this big ole palace you call a house."
Braelin rolled her eyes "Daddy, please. This is no palace, you and mama are living larger than I am."
"Well, when you're mama finally retires we'll be living somewhere in the Bahamas like we planned on after you kids graduated from college."
"We told you to say the word and we can have you and mama living on a yacht in no time."
Richard grinned at Roman "You've always been a good man" he said pulling Roman into a hug. "How are you doing, son?"
Tumblr media
Ā "I'm good, Pop. What about you?"
Richard shrugged "I don't have to cook so I'm doing great."
Carol cut her eye at her husband "And who said you weren't going to cook Richard?"
Richard gave Sika a look who laughed "Well, a man can dream. Come on Sika. Let's go see what theses boys are out here burning up."
Patricia shook her head "How are you doing sweetheart?"
Roman kissed his mother on the cheek "I'm fine mom."
Braelin looked between Roman and Patricia and thought it was best to leave them alone "Mama can you help me finish setting up outside?" Carol nodded before following her daughter outside.
Patricia grabbed her son's face when his eyes remained trained on Braelins retreating frame "Is that what's bothering you?"
"No, Janelle and I are having a hard time getting this family thing started. That's all."
"Well, these things don't happen overnight for some people but I'm sure it'll happen soon enough."
Roman wanted nothing more than to tell his mother the truth about his impending fatherhood but it wasn't the right time. Not until he talked to Braelin about their next steps. Ā "Maybe you're right."
"You haven't realized by now that mama always knows best."
Roman smiled pulling his mother into a hug.
Janelle made a plate of fruit salad before sitting down at the long table. Naomi, who joined the party along with Jimmy, Jey, Jey's wife Tamika and Rikishi about an hour ago sat down next to her.
"A penny for your thoughts?"
Janelle smiled sadly "I'm justā€”do you ever feel like you're in a battle you can't win. Even when you didn't know it was a battle, to begin with?"
Naomi sat back in her chair "It depends on the situation. I feel like that all-time in my career. As gifted as I know I am, I'm always overlooked. I start thinking maybe I'm not as good as I think I am or that maybe someone else has that something I don't. But doubting myself does more for the people who want to see me lose than myself. I know what I'm worth and my goal is to make sure everyone else sees it and not forgets it."
Janelle soaked up Naomi's words "Thank you. That really helped."
Naomi squeezed Janelle's hand "I'm glad I can help."
Naomi knew Janelle was feeling unsure of herself at the moment. She also knew that Janelle was a smart woman. Janelle knew there was something off with her husband and despite how accurate she might be Janelle keeping Roman is what was best for everyone and she may not realize it now but it's definitely what's best for Braelin.
Dante walked into the kitchen with an empty bowl of barbecue sauce. "Everyone looks like they're having a good time."
Braelin smiled up at him "I'm glad. With everything that's happening I'm glad I can make this happen."
Dante kissed her lips "You taste like peaches."
Braelin pushed him playfully "Behave. My parents are outside."
Dante smirked down at his little beauty "Is that a challenge?"
Braelin squealed attempting to run away from her boyfriend but was quickly caught and pulled into his arms "I'm going to tell everyone about the babies."
"Are you?"
Braelin nodded "and I think we should tell everyone you're the father of my babies."
Dante raised a brow "What did Roman say?"
"What did Roman say about what?"
Braelin practically jumped at the sound of his voice "Damn it, Roman. Where the hell did you come from?"
Roman ignored her question instead of looking in between Dante and Braelin "Do I know what?"
Braelin sighed "I'm telling everyone tonight that I'm pregnant and I thinkā€” I think it's best if we tell them Dante is the father."
Roman's jaw clenched "There's no way that's fucking happening."
"It's probably what's best for everyā€”"
"You're trying to have another man replace me as the father my fucking kids. Mine." he hissed.
"Their not fucking toys, Rome." Dante hissed back.
Braelin looked at Dante who was getting angry himself. She thought it was time to intervene "Ok, listen. I know this isn't ideal and it feels like I'm hitting you guys with bullshit after bullshit but what else can we do that wouldn't make this harder for everyone else?"
Roman ran a hand across his beard "This isn't about everyone else this is about our family."
"And whether or not you want to admit it I'm a part of the family and Ā in case you need further calcification I'm not going anywhere." Dante chimed.
Tumblr media
Roman only laughed taking a step towards the couple "That's your plan, big D. You think you can replace me in her life?"
Dante shook his head stepping around Braelin "I'm not the biological father of her kids. You hold that honor but she's my girlfriend and whether you like it or not that's my honor playboy."
Braelin went to intervene "Guysā€”"
Keyon stepped in the kitchen "Y'all good?"
Braelin sighed in relief "Are the ribs done?"
Keyon looked between Dante and Roman and back again at Braelin "You ok baby sis?"
"I'm fine. I'm just hella hungry right now. " She said leaving the kitchen to join the party that seemed oblivious to the tension that was happening inside the kitchen.
Dante went to follow Braelin but Keyon stopped him "Listen, I don't know what's going on between y'all three but whatever it is y'all need figure out a way to deal with it. Braelin is pregnant and the last thing she needs is all this extra bullshit between y'all stressing her out."
Roman knew Keyon was doing what any big brother did and that was protecting his sister and for that, he couldn't be more thankful to Keyon as a man and as a father. Roman looked over at Dante who was clearly having similar thoughts. "You don't have to worry about that. We all want what's best for Brae and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we'll do damn near anything to ensure she's getting the best. Now if you don't excuse me those ribs are calling me."
"What was that about?"
Dante picked up a new bowl of barbecue sauce before heading outside Ā "You heard what Rome said. We all just want the best for Braelin."
Keyon didn't know what the hell was going on but he was definitely going to find out.
Tumblr media
"Why are you so quiet?"
Braelin added more fruit to the already thinning fruit salad "What are you talking about? I haven't stopped talking since the party started."
"Well, you haven't said much to your mama."
Tumblr media
Braelin smiled "I'm sorry. I'm just trying to make sure things are perfect. With all the craziness I think we all deserve it."
Mama Carol took the bowl of fruit out of her daughter's hand "I'm sure the fruit salad will remain a crowd favorite. I know somethings going on with you and I wantā€”"
"Mama, I'm fine. But there is something going on with me and before you ask I will let you know everything soon, I promise." She kissed her mother on the cheek before scanning the area for Roman who was talking to Janelle.
Naomi and Briyanna noticed and decided now was the perfect time to make the big announcement. "Are you ready?" Briyanna asked standing beside her baby sister.
No, she wasn't ready. Braelin knew Dante was willing to go along with the plan if that was what she wanted to do. But Roman was completely against it and rightfully so. "I can't go along with this if Roman isn't ok with it and before you say anything I owe it to him as the father of my babies to get his approval. It wouldn't be right otherwise."
Briyanna nodded in understanding she knew what it would cost Roman to have another man claim responsibility and although it would be the best option for everyone it would further complicate things when the truth finally comes out. "I think you need to do what's best for you and the babies. Don't worry about Roman, Janelle and Dante. Worry about you and the babies."
"But I thought you saidā€”"
Briyanna nodded "I know what I said and I was wrong. It was terrible big sister advice and I think you should completely ignore me."
Braelin laughed "This didn't help me at all."
"I know and I'm sorry."
Both girls laughed.
"I think I'm going to tell them the news and I'll deal with the rest later."
Briyanna grabbed Braelin's hand to give a reassuring squeeze "I like your idea better."
Braelin turned off the music which prompted everyone to look in her direction "First of all, I want to thank everyone for attending my first cook out. We all work so hard with working, traveling and whatnot and we don't really have time to spend moments like this together so I just wanted to thank you all for coming and I love you all dearly for it."
"Yeet! We love you too, Brae." Jey yelled.
"Yea, take that beer away from him, Tamika." Seth added, causing everyone to laugh.
"If he says yeet one more time I'm going to bury him in your backyard, Braelin." That was Dean.
Renee smacked Dean upside the head "Will you guys shut up. You're ruining Braelin's speech."
"The floor is yours queen, B."
Braelin smirked "Thank you, Becky and Renee. But, I did bring you all here for another reason. My decision to retire due to my knee injury was sudden but it wasn't the only reason for my retirement."
Jimmy looked over at Naomi who didn't seem at all surprised by this announcement "What's going on, Bug?"
Braelin looked over at Roman across the yard and at Dante who was standing next to her "I retired because four months ago I found out I was pregnant" She said revealing her baby bump "with twins. I'm having a boy and a girl."
Silence
More silence until Braelin was engulfed in two sets of arms that belonged to her parents.
Congratulations, cheers, and tears were shared between her friends and family. Everyone but one. Janelle was a smart woman and after remembering what Roman had told her knew that his first time cheating on her was a few months ago. Maybe even four months ago after a house show and considering the timing, it was more than possible that her husband was the father of Braelin's unborn babies and if that's the case:
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
AN: I'm sorry it took so long but the muse works when it wants to and due to this Pandemic I have more than enough to brainstorm and put together a chapter for you all. I hope you're all taking care of yourself during this time. Don't forget to wash your hands, don't touch your face and remain indoors. Stay safe and Happy Reading!

PreviewĀ |Ā Alternate MoodboardĀ |Ā Chapter 8 Teaser
A/N:Ā i made a moodboard for this chapter because i needed the will to keep going cough cough but made it into a teaser cuz i write slow
Yall this is also the longest chapter ive written for anything lololl
Tumblr media
"Hey Jackson," I mutter and turn from the ice cream cone in my hand to his clear smooth face, "not to sound greedy-- purely out of curiosity and to prepare myself..."
Jackson looks at me, brown eyes widening in expectation.
"Am... I gonna getĀ paidĀ again?" I said speaking lowly at one particular word.
He gives me a blank expression, and I follow it up quickly, raising a hand, "Can I just... not?"
He lets out a sigh and shakes his head, "Baby," he cuts himself of by licking the dripping the melted ice cream on the side of his cone that was trickling its way down to his fingers. I found myself gulping. He takes a bite and turns back to me, "a deal's a deal. I don't want to come off as a cheat."
"No but you won't cause it's-it's my request!"
He thinks as he eats his dessert. I purse my lips, "I honestly don't know what to do with it anymore. I paid my loads, have a whole new wardrobe and a whole fridge of food. I even payed my rent for the rest of the year and that still wasn't enough to get rid of it all. I had to get my friend help me burn the money and keep my sanity in check. I bought him a laptop and everything."
"Oh," Jackson pulls his head back and knits his brows, "you told Jinyoung?"
"What?"Ā Part of me panics when I hear him say that name.Ā 
Once the question registers in my head I shake my hands, "No, no, no. I told Mark, my other friend. And well, my roommate Nari, because there is no way she wouldn't find out about it anyway." I turn to Jackson and finish the rest of my ice cream. "You remember her, Nari? She was with me, uhm, when I was fitting that green dress."
Jackson's poker face shifts into a smile, "Ahhhh, yeah."
For a moment, we finish off eating and throw away our trash without words.
Ā "Who else did you tell?"
I turn to Jackson who starts walking off again. I follow after him and purse my lips in realization of what he could possibly be insinuating, "Oh, uhm, just them. And I may tell Jinyoung after this. Am... am I not supposed to? I mean I didn't really-- they don't... I trust them..."
Jackson shakes his head and breaks into a nervous laugh, "No. No. It's just... no offence, I don't doubt the fact that they can't use this against me. It's just," he chuckles, "usually the fake dating goes both ways. I dunno, it's a first that I don't have to worry about seeingĀ yourĀ family too."
I can't help but break out in a laugh, "yikes. Sounds like a nightmare."
"Gosh, you have no clue."
Ā We trail off for a while. I break the silence this time, "So... do we have a deal?"
Jackson turns to me and lets out a breath, "Oh no, absolutely not."
I do a double take and pull my had back, "What?"
"Hearing myself say that aloud makes me realize how unfair this arrangement is to you. And it's making me feel uneasy, like I want to punch myself." He knits his brows and stuffs his hands in his pockets, "you have go around meeting all these people in environments you're not used to, in clothes that aren't yours," he lifts his thumb and point behind him with it, "having strange men follow you around." He releases a breath and turns to me, "and all you get out of that isĀ paper."
I can't help but frown at his conclusion. It was plain to see how opposite our worlds were, with the mere way we value money. It made me feel lucky, honestly, that even though I wasn't rich, I had friends and family,Ā their loveĀ around me, something this lonely billionaire evidently lacked.
"Listen, sweetheart. I don't mean to make you feel bad because of this, but, you have a lot of money, I don't. IĀ don'tĀ have the need to focus on a massive business and to hear people around me nag about my love life,Ā youĀ do. The other gives what is needed and takes what the other has in excess. I don't know about you, but that seems like an awfully beneficial deal to me."
Jackson snickers after I spoke, "smart."
I smile upon hearing that.
"One of the things I like about you."
Wh- one of the things he--
"Alright Ms. Business Major. I see you learning in your classes."
I release a laugh at that and so does he. "But if anything,Ā sweetheart,"Ā he stresses and leans down. I feel my neck and ears burn, "what? You can call me baby, but I can't call you sweetheart?"
He laughs, "No, no, it's cute. Please do." He turns his gaze forward, "this just further proves that IĀ needĀ to take care of you in the only way I can."
I groan and screw my eyes shut, "Jacksoooon." And here I was thinking that I actually got through to him.
"Ya. Why are you so rude? Are we same age?" He playfully glares and barks,Ā "Oppa. Oppa."
I groan again and glare at him,Ā "Oppa!"
He smiles and nods, "That's better."
I whine and stomp my feet, "Ahh! But I don't need it! I still have job!"
"What?"Ā Jackson snaps, "you haven't quit your job?"
"Uh, no duh? How else am I gonna get pocket money?" I say, knowing he'd understand the fact that not everyone accepts a black card. Also, it was empty.
"The how'd you pay for your taxi?"
"I borrowed money from Mark."
Jackson's eyes blew in shock. He mumbles lowly and raises his hands, "my sugar baby needs a part-time job and borrows money."
Ā "Okay, listen," he starts, tapping his chest with his finger tips, "just let me do my thing." He, out of the blue, takes my hand and we continue walking. "I have to go back to work after this, but later I'll come pick you up because you need to meet my mom."
I nod slowly up heaing this, "Oh."
"And clearly now, you've made me realize this is two dates-"
"Jackson-"
"-shut up or I'll kiss you."
My jaw is left hanging.Ā 
Jackson turns to me and holds back a laugh, lips curling into aĀ smirk.Ā 
"As I was saying, you have also pointed out that IĀ reallyĀ haven't being fair to you.Ā Up, up, up-"Ā he raises a hand and cuts me of before I could even begin. He lets go of my hand and links my arm with his. "Right. So, I've been used to having arrangements with women with excessive tastes that can blow off a million in one day. And more, who am I kidding. Which is why," he turns to me.Ā 
I turn to him and he smiles, "I'm letting you cash out."
"Cash... hold on, wha--Ā cash out?"
Jackson seems confused and knits his brows for a second, and then bursts into laughter when he realizes, "Oh, no. Not likeĀ endĀ this. No way! I still need you."Ā He tugs on my arm and pulls it to his chest, embracing it as if he meant it personally.Ā 
He giggles, "I mean like, I'll let you withdraw money."
I gasp and turn to him, "Oh my gosh, really?!"
"Yeah," he nods, "I mean you can only withdraw anything from that one bank, but yeah. You deserve that at least."
"Oh my gosh thank you!" I grin and pull away from him, only to be able to hug him tightly. I hold him for a few seconds and smile brightly when I let him go, "I could send my parents money. I could-- I could-- WOW!"
Jackson breaks into laughter.
"Okay, now, come on, I'll drive you home."
Ā With that, Jackson and I retrace our steps and find our way back to the car. The men following us seem to have gone away, to which I am relieved. We walk hand in hand, and he's doing all the talking. I watch as he laughs and wonder how he could talk about such stories, like getting his foot stuck in the toilet one time when he was younger, and still look so poised and handsome.
Jackson is playful all the way to my apartment. It made me happy, as I remember the last time I drove with him, back when we went to a party, he was pretty glum.
"You shouldn't let them get to you too much, Jackson." I speak up after our conversation about whatever popped up into our heads.
Jackson knits his brows and spares me a glance, "What do you mean?"
"Remember last time, after going to the party? You were pretty quiet, and it was kinda concerning."
He doesn't reply for a moment. When he does, he speaks half-playfully, "you're concerned about me?"
"No duh, Wang-Wang. You've been nothing but kind to me, and I'm the type to take care and check up on my friends."
He nods his head, "Well... thank you for... the concern, but that wasn't why I was quiet on pur drive back. I couldn't give two shits about whatever those rich bozos think. I just want them out of my business, babe."
I knit my brows, "Huh. Then whyĀ wereĀ you?"
Jackson chuckles and pulls on the collar of his top. "It's kinda complicated.ā€ He turns to me, then back to the road to chuckle, ā€œTo a point where I'm not even really sure yet about it. But, uh, for what it's worth, if I figure it out, I'll tell you."
I hum, "well, are you sure you can figure it out by yourself? Sometimes all it tales is to say it aloud, y'know."
Jackson turns to me and offers a smile, "I know. But I don'tĀ wantĀ this to become real, and I'm pretty sure if I say it aloud, it will."
"Oh... well, I get that."
Ā Soon after, we arrived at my place. I turned to give Jackson a smile goodbye, but I was shocked when he moved in to give my cheek a kiss. He pressed his lips against skin, and I immediately felt the area burn, as if he was scorching hot. Iā€™m glad I didnā€™t move yet, cause if I had moved any sooner, Jackson and I would've had to a disastrous lip lock--or teeth lock at that..
"Thank you for today," he says simply, close to my ear. I could smell his cologne.
My cheeks burn. Once he pulls away, I turn and gape at him for a second, "shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
He purses his lips and chuckles, "Not at all."Ā 
For a moment, I just sit there, not knowing where to look and where to place my hands.Ā Jackson smiles, and proceeds to cackle. Itā€™s pretty obvious that he is pleased with how obviously I'm affected.
I feel my face redden, but I can't help myself and growl. I shove him and glare, "Next time, a little warning will suffice."
The man across me seems baffled by my action and tenses up only to burst out laughing all giddyĀ "Mianheeee."
He shuffles in his seat, ā€œBefore you go,ā€ and pulls out his wallet,Ā ā€œhere... pocket money.ā€
He pulls out all the cash in his wallet and my eyes widen. I raise my brows,Ā ā€œThat wonā€™t be necessary, oppa.ā€
He shoots me a look and grabs my hand,Ā ā€œOppa thinks otherwise.ā€
ā€œBut youā€™ll be paying me later!ā€ I protest, trying my best to to actually grab hold of the money.Ā ā€œYouā€™re even going to let me cash out, so this is all unnecessary.ā€
Jackson huffed,Ā ā€œConsider this as a bonus.ā€
ā€œI donā€™t want a bonus!ā€
ā€œWell, you either take it... or... or else I wonā€™t talk to you again.ā€
For a moment, I look at him with a dumbfounded expression. I ask,Ā ā€œYou do know that is worse for you than it is for me right!ā€
ā€œUgh! Just take it! I donā€™t have any leverage! I never thought Iā€™d ever have to force someone to get my money.ā€ Jackson whines and shakes his body in annoyance.Ā ā€œJust take it!ā€ he groans,Ā ā€œItā€™s not like itā€™s a bribe. Just use it to pay Mark.ā€
ā€œThat is way too--ā€
ā€œTAKE IT!ā€ he screams, successfully planting the money in my hand, as his shout took me off guard. I awkwardly look around and Jackson shakes his head expectantly. I purse my lips and fold the paper, shoving it to my pockets.
Jackson smiles in content and pats my head. I scoff. I proceed then to remove my seat belt.
He watches as I do so and then asks, "You want me to walk you?"
I shake my head, "Oh, no need. I can manage."
ā€œYou sure?ā€
I turn to him and nod,Ā Ā ā€œIā€™m sure, Jackson.ā€
ā€œJackson oppa.ā€
I roll my eyes,Ā ā€œI never shouldā€™ve voluntarily called you that.ā€
He chuckles.Ā 
I exit the car and wave him off dismissively the moment I'm out. He waves goodbye and drives away.
Ā By the time he's gone, Nari is running towards me like the fumbling mess she is.Ā "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,Ā was that him?! I can't believe I missed him! GASH!"
I scowl at Nari and nudge her, "stop being such a loud mouth."
She huffs and turns to me, hands on her waist, "You have no clue how jelly I am."
I roll my eyes and walk inside. She follows quickly, "What are you gonna do about Jinyoung?"
I whip my head to her, "What about Jinyoung, Nari?"
"I mean, you have Jackson now! Jinyoung deserves to know."
"You say this, as if I like Jackson."
Nari looks mortified, "Bitch don't tell me you're gonna be like one of those dumb protagonists that's in denial and then has their world comes crashing down around them."
I scoff, "No, Nari, because I don't like Jackson-"
"bITCH-"
"-I like Jinyoung."
Ā "... ...ohmygosh, did you actually say that aloud?"
I dismiss her, but her squealing and iron grip prevent me from getting away.Ā "EEEEEK I KNEWITIKNEWITIKNEWITIKNEWITTTTTTTTT!"
"Shut up! You're gonna wake the dead," I hiss and cover her mouth, "Or even worse, Mrs. Kim. "
Literally, the moment I said that, there was a yapping old woman resounding curse words against the wall. Nari and I scrambled to hide from her wrath.
"YOUĀ FUCKINGĀ KIDS, I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP WHEN JEOPARDY IS ON!"
Ā Alright. Yes. We managed to survive the terror in apartment 16, which was why I managed to brush up on my studies and the drama I had in the sidelines waiting for me.
I leaned back in my cozy attire, with shorts and hoodie, stuffing popcorn in my face as Lee Minho beat Kim Woobin up, and vice versa.
I don't mean to sound like a brag, but damn, there really is a difference with the cheap cotton shorts and these freakin 10,000 dollar ones. Would I ever recommend these to a friend? Helllll no, but damn they're realllly soft.
"Moron your phone is blowing up in your room," Nari screams from her own room. I scramble to my feet, shit is that Jackson?
Ā I push my popcorn off and run to my room. I see there's ten messages from Mark. I knit my brows.
STFU MARK:Ā ok so i went to jinyoungs place
STFU MARK:Ā i mean like at his job and the place is super packed and he looks super miserable i feel so bad i wanna help him woth the register
STFU MARK:Ā Where are you even???? I swung by your place

STFU MARK:Ā I WANTED TO TALK TO JINYOUNG COS IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GONNA CLOCK OUT BUT YUGYEOM TOLD ME TO SCRAM WHAT IS THIS HE SAID JINYOUNG IS SUPER TIRED AND NOT IN THE MOOD
Ā I wipe my forehead and cuss.
I give a quick reply to Mark, saying that I'll try to contact him. I then proceed to call Jinyoung. IĀ call him five times before giving up and sending a text.
I open my conversation with Jinyoung and send three messages.
Me:Ā Jinyoung
Me:Ā i know like im legitimately dumb for not knowing what angered you, but mark and i arent mind readers
Me:Ā please call me back and tell me whats wrong
Ā I sigh and pull my phone to my chest. I walk back out to continue watching my show. My heart leaps out of my chest and I squeak when my phone starts vibrating. I smile widely when I realize it's Jinyoung calling. Except it's not. It's Jackson. He's gonna pick me up.
Ā Ā ---
My feet is clad with a golden pump. My dress is cascading with hundreds of delicate white beads upon bright violet fabric. I feel like a dewy star with the glowy makeup all over my skin. My hair is pulled back to make room for a crown-like headband and curled perfectly behind me.
While Hani did my makeup, part of me wondered why I looked so dressed up, when, as far as I knew, I would only be meeting with Jackson's mom. But then I realizedĀ it was Jackson's mom;Ā she was probably born drenched in gold. This probably looks pathetic to her.
Hani was so kind and so enthusiastic as per usual, and she made me look like a princess with her magical touch.Ā 
Ā We didn't take as long as I hoped we would, for now I am holding onto Jackson's hand as we walk down this large lawn, lit with garden lights and lights from fountains. The sun had just set, and so the residual sunshine in the sky made it look both orange and lilac. On my other hand, IĀ  held a bouquet of violet flowers that strangely reminded me of the day I met Jackson.
As we drove here, I thought at first we were going to Jackson's house, or his parents, but as it turns, her mother is checked into some extra hotel.
Automatic doors opened, and a beefy but kind looking security guard greeted us, and Jackson by his name.
The place reeked the finesse of a museum. It was so large and spacious that I started thinking maybe it was a hidden museum of some sort. The minimal pieces of art make me think otherwise.
There were very few people going about, and most of them were wearing white.
I fell conscious after. Was this hotel themed in white? I moved closer to Jackson. The echoing of my heels against the marble floors only magnified my fumbling mind. Okay... maybe this wasnā€™t a hotel.
We walked and walked down this seemingly never ending hall, up until we reached room 19.
Ā Jackson released my hand and turned to me. Clearing his throat, he asked, "How do I look?"
He looked like a billionaire. His body was given complete justice in his velvet suit that matched the color of my violet dress. His shoes were shiner than my future. His skin was more flawless than my grades. Jackson looked like he always did, handsome and charming. But his big brown eye seemed nervous.
"You look amazing, like always," I offer with a smile.
Jackson lets put a soft sigh, "I'm glad you think I always look amazing."
I nod at him, not because I agreed but because he seemed like he had something much more to say. Though he was trying to play off this worry by joking, it was too clear he was worried.
He inhales sharply. "You may hate me for not telling you sooner, but..." Jackson points to the door of room 19 and screws his eyes shut.
I bit my lower lip and think about what Jackson could tell me next. He was agitated. This place makes him agitated. Well, everyone here is wearing white. Everything is quiet and spacious. His mom was staying here. I donā€™t think itā€™s a hotel anymore. Was this a spa? A wellness center?
... or was this a clinic?Ā A hospital?
Why didnā€™t I just ask?
"The main reason why... I hired you is because of my mom." Jackson turns to his side then back to me, "She's... not doing so great. Not in a long time."
My jaw slacks once I realize my guess was right, "Your mom is sick?"
He sighs, "terminally ill if you need the right term."
"And... you want her to think... we're together?"
Jackson purses his lips, "It's all she wants from me now.ā€
Ā A shiver runs down my spine. I clench my bouquet. Part of me can't help but feel betrayed. He had all these chances from then til now to speak up but he was nothing but silent. All Jackson told me I was here to push away his nosy relatives. I huff in frustration. Really though I was here to lie to a dying lady.
I scoff at my own thoughts.
That very thought made my heart clench.
How hard must it be for Jackson to talk about this?
I want to wipe my face so badly, but I didn't want to ruin Hani's hard work.
"How could you only tell me this now?!" I heave sharply. "Do you know how wrong and messed up this is?"
"I know, I know," Jackson sighs. He takes a step forward and grabs both my hands, pushing the bouquet in the middle, "but please, you're my only hope. You're the only woman I've ever brought to my mom." He closes his eyes and raises his hands, shaking it around, "It's not as bad as it is. I made her think that I'm still pursuing you and so you're not really my girlfriend."
I knit my brows at that. Jackson steps even closer, "then I'll say it didn't work out because you like Jinyoung from..." he thinks and scoffs, "your Algebra--business math class."
His mention ofĀ  Jinyoung makes me chest contract. I look at our hands then Jackson's expression. The flowers seemed a lot less pretty to me now. I wonder what they think about my predicament.
Ā "Please, you are honestly innocent in all this. No matter what happens it's on me.Ā Please.Ā My mother doesn't get to meet new people. You won't even have to say anything, I'll do all the talking."
I want to throw the flowers at him and run away. But I don't.
I want to tell him all the reasons why this so called solution of his isn't a solution. But I don't.
I want to offer his comfort and give him another way. But I can't, cause it would take too much time and the clock, I can feel it ticking.
So what I do say is, "alright."
Jackson's face brightens. He repeats, "Alright," and with that wastes not time in going inside.
Ā "Finally!" a voice exclaims into the high ceiling. There is a large bed with a woman in the center. ā€œI thought youā€™d never come.ā€
Jackson, hand holding mine, walked towards the woman and smiled, ā€œMama. Iā€™m sorry weā€™re late.ā€
Once weā€™re close enough, Jackson lets go of me to hug and kiss the woman on the cheek. I was close enough to see how pale and dry her skin was. She was thin and had her thin hair combed behind her. It was plain to see that she really was sick. But the way she smiled and greeted her son, made you think otherwise.
Jackson pulls away and turns to me. Her mother does the same. I take this moment to give her the flowers, ā€œMrs. Wang.ā€
ā€œOh, are these for me? Thank you so much, darling.ā€ She smiles ear to ear and gets the bouquet from me. ā€œYou may be wondering why you were forced into violet. Well, itā€™s my favorite color.ā€
I nod, ā€œJackson told me that.ā€Ā At the very least.
ā€œHave you eaten, mama?ā€ Jackson asks as he sits next to his mother.
ā€œYou silly boy. You know I donā€™t have an appetite at night.ā€
Jackson narrows his eyes and shakes his head, ā€œMama... the nurses told me you had an apple for lunch.
ā€œKure,Ā an apple a day keeps the doctor away,ā€ she speaks in a light tone. Jackson breathes in heavily, clenching his jaw. He looks like he wants to go off, but at the same time, he looks really tired, like he doesnā€™t want to have this conversation again. And so I frown deeply.
ā€œMrs. Wang, you should really eat more than that... Jackson is really worried about you.ā€ I speak for the upset man.
His mother turns to me and beams, ā€œYa, has Jackson been talking about me. Thatā€™s a first. Honestly, I still canā€™t believe your here! My Jackson always claims to have a girlfriend, but this time around... he really does.ā€
ā€œMama... sheā€™s not my girlfriend, I told you.ā€
ā€œAiya!ā€ she says, ā€œyou should try harder, then!ā€ The woman gives her son a scolding look, then turns to me in a completely different manner,Ā ā€œMianhe... ...Ā My brother told me he had his men follow you to see how real you are just earlier today. Iā€™m really sorry about that.ā€
ā€œMama,ā€ Jackson says slowly.
She tuts her son. With a breath, she looks at me, ā€œOh, why are you still standing, please sit on my bed. Itā€™s quite big enough for all three of us.ā€
With this I smile, nod, and sit down. She then slides to the far left side of the bed, where Jackson sat facing me. Mrs. Wang pulls me by my arm, and so I hop over to come closer to her.
Her hand is still on my arm when she pouts into a pleased smile, ā€œYou are far more beautiful than Jackson let on.ā€
My brows raise and my lips pull into an awkward smile. I nervously laugh and shake my head. She shakes her head too, ā€œHe wonā€™t shut up about you!ā€
ā€œMama,ā€ Jackson says, placing his hand on his mothers, releasing her grip from me, ā€œThatā€™s because you keep asking me about her.ā€
ā€œWell how can I not, child! The most exciting thing that happens around here is when a new patient comes along and thatā€™s horrible to think of considering this place is a hospital.ā€
Jackson once again feels and looks so defeated.
ā€œMrs. Wang,ā€ I say to divert her attention.
ā€œOh, please, call me Mama. All of Jacksonā€™s friends do that.ā€
I clear my throat and turn to Jackson for a split second. Nevertheless, I obey, ā€œMama... do you happen to watch k-dramas?ā€
Both Wangs seem to be surprised by my sudden question.
ā€œWhy of course! What else am I to do but watch all those dramas?ā€ she chuckles.
ā€œDid you happen to watch The Heirs?ā€
She gasps, ā€œOf course I did! Lee Minho and--ā€
ā€œKim Woobin!ā€ I squeal. ā€œOoooh, he is so good looking and I wanted him to get the girl so bad!!!!!ā€
Jackson pulls his head back at my words.Ā Da hell is Kim Woobin?Ā His mother laughs in glee. Once she catches he breath, she begins to fuel our talk. From then on, we begin our long conversation about wantingĀ ā€˜the otherā€™ love interest get the girl in the story. It escalates and the next thing Jackson knows heā€™s no longer part of the conversation, nor existent in the room.
He watches as the two women interact and laugh, making his heart clench. Mama had neither been this talkative nor cheery since Bambam visited and got drunk on champagne, and that was months ago.
I throw my head back in laughter. Jackson canā€™t help but laugh as well, even though he honestly didnā€™t follow the conversation anymore.
Mrs. Wang turns to his son and smiles, seeing how concentrated he was in the one thing in the room. She nudges him, and Jackson panics, turning to his mother with wide eyes.
Catching this, I settle down and turn to Jacksonā€™s nervous expression. His mother breaks into a soft laugh. I knit my brows,Ā ā€œWhat happened?ā€
Jackson turns to me then to his mom. The latter speaks up,Ā ā€œOh. Jacksonā€™s just really lucky to have you thatā€™s all.ā€
Part of me expected Jackson to whine in protest again. But when thereā€™s only silence among us, I feel awkwardness envelope me.
Mrs. Wang coos and caresses her sonā€™s cheeks, ā€œYour handsomeness wonā€™t be put to waste.ā€ She then turns to me and pinches my cheeks, ā€œYouā€™ll have beautiful children.ā€Ā 
My cheeks immediately burn upon hearing this.
Jackson breath hitches when he sees my reaction. I turn to him and gives me an awkward smile.
Jackson scratches he back of his nape when it dawns to him that he is utterly fucked. Why? Because he likes the idea his mom presented. The man mutters a curse word under his breath and stands,Ā ā€œHow about we get some food, yeah?ā€

Med Series Rewatch (#12)
S3 E12: Born This Way.
Episode description: Dr. Manning and Dr. Choi are faced with a tough decision.
Literally when are they not.
Okay, last episode ended with the first Ava/Connor kiss, so this episode should be a rollercoaster of emotions.
letā€™s get into it.
- okay, already weā€™re starting in connorā€™s apartment, so cue ava walking in bc they slept together?
- i think its hilarious that her casual clothing is.. a flannel. like lmao idk
- it is so unbelievably funny and stupid to have a one night stand with someone you work closely with. i mean come on
- never forget that dr. ava bekker has a fish tank
- this is exhausting. the tentative back and forth is so fucking exhausting
- another bit of evidence. ava is never not confident, and especially not to this extent, and she never follows connorā€™s lead. so, the fact that she is standing back and waiting for him to make the decision? stupid.
- it screams that she is having a moment of anxiety, which is why she isnā€™t up to make the decisions in the exchange.
-to be clear: what iā€™m claiming here is that the only reason ava actually got with connor was bc she was having a moment of anxiety because he was the only person she had built a relationship with after living in this city for six months.
- when connor says that he has plans you can see her fold in on herself. this stems from a place of anxiety
- remember when they did surgery on the panda? thatā€™s when the show peaked
- ava in her lab coat will never not get me. especially with the gloves, running towards a patient (very hot)
- connor still looks kinda looks like a mess but ava is immaculate here like what dude out of your league
- ava asking the family questions (ik this is standard doctor stuff but showing worry, interest, all that jazz)
- okay, see here! here! ava calls connor out, saying that his procedureĀ is too invasive. before, avaā€™s procedures where invasive, which everyone used as evidence to her being super cold, but now, we see that she purely does what she deems best for the patient at hand
- also, once again, the concern ava feels. you can hear it in her voice. we forget this part of her way too often
- the smile on avaā€™s face when she gives the family good news. god wept
- and then more concern when connor tells her they need to put him on ecmo
- the reason that ava is frustrated that connor didnā€™t go with her decision for their patient care is because she truly believes that if they donā€™t go with her treatment, he will die. donā€™t make it anything different. donā€™t argue sheā€™s frustrated because heā€™s not listening to her. donā€™t make it anything about their relationship. she puts their patients care first and foremost
- thereā€™s a stark shift in her demeanor when in the room with the parents vs. her alone with connor. in the room, you can see sheā€™s stewing. sheā€™s sucking on her teeth, sheā€™s holding her emotions. she has control, sheā€™s a professional. out of the room, she has full reign to be as mad with connor as she wants, which she does.
-AVA RAN INTO THE ROOM AGAIN WITH THE LAB COAT AND GLOVES AND IDK IT JUST HAS ME FEELING SOME KINDA WAY
- the way ava acknowledges everyone in the room (the nurse just informed them that the drug was running, ava nodded. just a little thing but yk)
- ava shaking her head at this sad, sad man (connor, who is floundering for a solution and misplacing his anger)
- their entire relationship is misplaced anger
- the fact that the last shot of the scene has connor in the foreground looking over the bed and ava watching from the door but ava is the one in focus - some cool cinematography points
- IS THIS THE EPISODE WHERE MAGGIE GOES TO JAIL
- med really went all over the place
- JUST THE AMOUNT OF CONCERN ON AVAā€™S FACE. im gonna say it again. look me in the eyes and tell this women is a psychopath. the med writers are fucking insane
- and when the parents ask ava if she disagreed with connorā€™s treatment decision, she has every opportunity (and right, frankly) to throw him under the bus and undermine him. but still, she saysĀ ā€œitā€™s a complicated situation.ā€ like. she never ever makes it personal, or loses her head. especially not to a patient. and she doesnā€™t have to defend connor. heā€™s made a lot of mistakes, and taken it out on her a bunch of times. yet sheā€™s still nice to him, when heā€™s not even in the room
- itā€™s insane
- this is also the legendary scene where she comforts the family. thereā€™s not a lot that i havenā€™t already said. this is the scene that most exemplifies avaā€™s humanity, the way she seems to feel, at least residually, what these parents are going through (since she obviously hasnā€™t gone through anything like this herself [unless.]). the way she kneels down, and gets on the familyā€™s personal level.
- I... okay listen. I absolutely HATE the parallel they pull her between the lineĀ ā€œI believe whenever you do something out of love, it can never really be wrongā€ and connor. especially because they show him when she says that line. and yeah, thereā€™s obviously a connection that can be drawn between the meaning of that line and her sociopathic behavior in s4 and s5.
- it honestly feels like when writing s4, the writers hit so much of a wall they just googled the mostĀ ā€˜iconicā€™ ava moments and thoughtĀ ā€˜how can i use these in the worst way possible?ā€™ Thatā€™s honestly probably what they did (avaā€™s first interaction with connor -Ā ā€˜you better watch yourself,ā€™ this moment). There is no nuance to her character in s4. it is astoundingly terrible.
- lets move on
- THE WAY CONNOR LOOKS AT AVA HER MAKES ME FUCKING SCARED. HE HAS NO EMOTION ON HIS FACE. I know that weā€™ve been screen capping ava throughout this series but can someone find pictures of connor looking at ava bc, i need yall to remember how weird he looks
- like, no shade to connor, but just the emotion is undecipherable, but it is in no way a good one
- ava getting concerned (and looking slightly embarrassed) when she sees connor watching her by the door. obviously yeah sheā€™s gonna feel weird you just caught her in a very uncharacteristic moment, outwardly expressing comfort. fucking back off
- i am so fucking protective of her and i demand he no longer look at her. itā€™s banned
- sam abrams looking at sarahā€™s dadā€™s head ct and asking if heā€™s a criminal. oh boyĀ 
- from a writerā€™s perspective, the storyline with sarahā€™s dad is actually pretty good
- ava ran into the room with gloves and lab coat again, if anybody wanted to know
- for the record, want it to be noted, ava was the one who realized that it was an issue with the machine again, so you couldĀ say she fixed connorā€™s mistake, again. so.
- connor making a big deal about handing the reins over to ava (if he really was selfless he wouldnā€™t have made a whole big thing, he still has an enormous hero complex)
- handing off control was very hard for him. boo hoo get some fucking humility I think they sell it at walgreens
- sarah fucking walking across the ed like sheā€™s going to war. dramatic
- med really said pedophiles deserve rights with this ep huh
- anyway
- the way ava smiles
- the way she smiles when she turns him down. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT? SHE TURNED HIM DOWN. in the aspect of the story i cannot remember why she turned him down, but hey, iā€™m happy
- and it only further proves my story that the hook up came from a place of anxiety, and this is her realizing how silly that decision was. and her smiling was her laughing at herself for making such a stupid decision
- ALSO. LETā€™S TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS DECISION, THE DECISION TO TURN HIM DOWN, HAPPENED IN THE SAME EPISODE WHERE SHE SAIDĀ ā€˜IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR LOVE, ITā€™S NEVER REALLY WRONGā€™
- like she literally saysĀ ā€˜last night was a mistake.ā€™
- honestly, itā€™s fucking hilarious. connor deserves nothing
- and the confusion on his face when she walks away. hilarious
- if you wanted to take this the reesker route you could argue that the idea ofĀ ā€˜a decision of loveā€™ was ava coming to terms with her slight little crush, though i donā€™t know how clean it would be if you argue that she panicked and told herself those were feelings meant for connor. idk, iā€™ll have to think about it further
- watching sarah let herself be betrayed by both herself and the people around in the story surrounding her dad will never not be hard to watch
This was a very good episode, character wise, for all the reasons stated above. It just hammers home the point of how strong a character Ava was. Key word, of course, beingĀ ā€˜wasā€™. My conclusion over the last two episodes is that thisĀ specific sexual encounter with Connor was born out of a moment of anxiety from Ava. I suggest that over that last few weeks or days she has been experiencing some amount of anxiety out of having been living in Chicago for six months and only having one interpersonal relationship. So, that idea kind of built where she told herself the reason she only had one relationship was because she was in loveĀ with him. Then. after going through the story with this kid and comforting his parents, she realizes that she never actually loved Connor and maybe has a thing for someone else. Iā€™m glad that I keep coming up with more ideas for this character, I was afraid the initial theory was somewhat of a one-off, but this only proves the idea of the complexity to Avaā€™s character.
Iā€™m sure itā€™ll get worse from here, though.
as always, thanks for sticking through

Tumblr media
Okiedok hereā€™s the delio. I have a list of all the blogs from the last six months whoā€™s actively either responded to a meme i sent, responded to a message ive sent, replied to something regarding mally herself, has actually written with me, written a starter for me from my liking a starter call, has at least liked a starter i wrote for them to awknowedge it exists, all that jazz, i have a lot of open field so itā€™s not just a possible tumblr didnt let them no option anymore, because i send memes to everyone who posts them that i see. I reply to most peoples ooc posts. I like most starter calls I pass by. I try my darndest to actually interact bc i know how it feels to be ignored and itsā€¦ iā€™ve been called one before so iā€™m using the word, thats fluffing cunty behavior, and honestly if you complain about not being interacted with but never even try when i try with you, ya being cunty, end of. I gotta list. That list only entails Mally because sheā€™s who I care about the most. Iā€™m probably gonna start instilling a new rule in all my blogs that if you ignore Mally and/or Darcy( @tasedandconfused ), since I would say theyā€™re my two main blogs tho darcy gets ignored even more than mally does, probably bc i denied canon and left it entirely we know fandom hates that, if either of them is ignored thenā€¦ Ya out of luck, Iā€™m gonna unfollow you. Iā€™m debating soft blocking everyone who ignored me on both of them but I donā€™t want to like be mean and deny the chance to eventually try again but at the same time i shouldnt feel bad for taking a stand and saying this is bullsheet, idk my anxiety says im awful for giving a fluff about myself but also i should give a fluff about myself probably, ive nearly died in the last three months, my brain almost exploded, i just had three root canals on one corner of my face, i have to potentially get surgery on my inner ear which i cant even afford, i dont got time to deal with only being used for like smut memes or like as a resource blog or utter bs like that, i dont got time for it. So new rules here. 1: If Mally or Darcy are not acknowledged, written with, responded to, viewed as more than just their fluffing bodies? ya dropped, im unfollowing, potentially soft blocking, which means blocking and unblocking for those not in the know, on all accounts I follow you on. Every single one. I know most of my muses are on sideblogs but despite not being able to send memes from sideblogs you can block people from sideblogs fun fact, i will do that if i have to. 2: Iā€™m gonna be posting SCs, PCs, memes, etc. I like and respond to plotting calls, starter calls, i send memes, all of that. If I donā€™t get any response within.. Iā€™m giving one week for people who donā€™t run on a queue and a month and a half to people on a queue based system, if i dont get anything within that time like at least an im being like ā€˜its postedā€™ or ā€˜its queued i wanted to let you know in case tumblrs a fluffbuttā€™ (i do this sometimes if i dont get even just a like on the starters i post so i at least know people saw it since i know tumblrs bs, i wait until the day theyā€™re active to do so in case theyre busy yknow) basically i need acknowledgment at all. No you canā€™t claim this is abt follower count bc when you unfollow someone they inevitably unfollow you too, thats gonna drop my following, not as quickly as soft blocking would but i wanna be fair i guess, which leads to: 3: Iā€™m basing this on your activity too, like if i like a think and youā€™re gone for a month after that its fine, im not gonna unfollow you unless you never come back or youre online and posting others just not mine because that tells me youre specifically ignoring me and im gonna drop you for that end of. Iā€™m done with the bullsheet im done w the dillish behavior, i love friendship but if im giving and never receiving thats extremely one way and not gonna work. I check through my follow list weekly and i go back about five-10 pages on someones feed before i unfollow them to see their actual activity and see if theyre here or if its a q so. Iā€™m thorough basically. 4: You dont have to be active with me on all your blogs, i mean iā€™d prefer it but thats hard as fluff so essentially if you have like five blogs and are just like trying w me on two or three thats fine. Ten blogs, four or five with at least a plot formed is cool. Multis just one muse is all Iā€™d need. Iā€™m not gonna unfollow the blogs youre not writing w me on if you at least write w me on some. Again, specifically Mally and/or Darcy. If you ignore both of them, weā€™re done. I havent been active on darcy because of being ignored and its a huge butt mess and im just tired i wanna use my babies, you donā€™t get to have my ā€˜betterā€™ muses like i know a lot of ppl only follow me for my boys or my villains, you donā€™t get them if you ignore my baby. But, there is a limit there too. 5: If you never respond to a meme or thread even once with Mally or Darcy, or post a starter, i reply, its never replied to again after a month, Iā€™m unfollowing and/or soft blocking for that too. Bc that means youre just raising my hopes to fluff with me or get someone else and honestly, youre even more cunty than than the people just flat out ignoring me if you do that. And this isnt a specific person, this is five of the people actually on my list. Yes, my list is also annotated with specifics again I was very thorough on this yesterday, I hyperfixated Iā€™ll admit it, Iā€™m in a fluffing depressionary bubble and being told to get over it because people want something they dont deserve to have to. I am a believer that people deserve good things but if youre purposefully being cuntyā€¦ no you dont. 6: No Iā€™m not releasing my list, maybe I will and Iā€™ll omit the urls because I donā€™t want people being buttholes to each other too but otherwise, yall not seeing it im not giving a callout becauseā€¦ really thats just unnecessary here. I donā€™t think yall are toxic people or something i just think yall are unintentionally being cunty. And no I donā€™t mean everyone that follows me i mean the ppl that add up to what iā€™ve documented so far and fit the bill of butthat that iā€™ve shown, its behaviors yall gotta check before ya wreck. Yes there will be some people who have priority, everyone has those people, I write w kathryn on other platforms since she doesnt go on here as often but when Kathryn returns from war here (if she does cause she also agrees most ppl on this platform are cunty, i feel really bad saying that word so often but im gonna keep doing it i recently deleted an ask saying I was a huge cunt for not sending someone smut memes when I didnā€™t even follow them or know they existed so, again the travesty of this place is nutballers) same with owly, alex is here too, my most active partners are always going to be priority because theyre the ones who show the most interest and the most care. I understand that with others as well which is why I have the timeframe set up, because I want to be as open and shizz as possible while atill being firm i guess. I donā€™t want to have extreme double standards like its impossible for double standards not to exist at least a little bit but I want to avoid a golden chest full of them I guess. 7: I donā€™t have a seven rn, this was an even number and it bothered me. Seven is nust my warning that Iā€™m bittery writing this on mobile so formatting is not real but i tried my dandest to make this look like something people might actually mind. I dont want to be butty, i dont want to be awful, i dont want to start drama or have drama but that shizz comes around anyways so i might as well make my space as okay for me as i can cause im supposed to avoid stress so my brain doesnt almost explode again, like again i almost fluffing died i dont need ppl fake being my friend or anything, i want stuff to be real and clear. I want to be happy to be on here again and have fun like i used to since my health is plummetting and Iā€™m not allowed to go outside near plants by myself anymore because i welt up. I have plants outside my work place and im surrounded by chemicals all day long Iā€™m welted from here to new york constantly and never comfortable in my own skin because of it and constantly see people online acting like these actual real problems are pretentious because ā€˜its an excuseā€™ when, im a fluffing sagittarius, do you know how much i want to magically be a millionaire so i can pay for friends and my own medical stuff and go on traveling and adventures, be outside probably not camping bc as a pagan i know thats a death sentence but like be outside, lay on grass, go back to swimming because i used to swim competitively and due to health reasons i can barely even go in a pool anymore because theres too much sunlight which, bit plot twist i know, im fluffing allergic to vitamin D and the rays of the sun, so go figure, attempts to be healthy kill me more, i also cant eat most plants and am constantly dying from just eating food, they dont know whats wrong with me. i cant fix it by going ve/gan for a month inf act i tried and it almost made my heart stop thanks society. These arent excuses these are the lives of disabled and diseased and to a lesser but still very real point, ethnic lives every fluffing day. This is real shit and its murder and online and gaming? It may be all I have soon since I canā€™t just go out and make new friends cause, again, Iā€™d fluffing die. I get sick going to the mall or the movie theater, I miss theme parks so much but have to minimize it to weeks i dont have work so i dont get fired for having a welt while working in the beauty industry. I may have to get a degree online and change my field entirely because of my illness that nobody understands. People even make fun of it constantly online and I wish I could just drop online entirely because of how unbelievably ableist the entirety of the world is, i wish i could drop humans in general for their ableism, but i cant. I donā€™t have choices in most cases, but throwing away people who maybe purposefully maybe unintentionally thats why iā€™m giving you this warning and will be repeating this warning for awhile, this is where i have choice. I have to use what little choice I have in life while I can since everytime i go to movies or a concert or a theme park i almost die because of not having an immune system that functions or being in certain air qualities pr being near plants or unclean people, I may not have much time and I gotta do whats best for what little mental health I have, and if that means dropping people i care about and really want to write with and do things with but who ignore me then, i guess so be it.

Can You Hear Me?- Part 7
Johnny x Reader Author: MoRo
Prompt:Ā Oooh okayy, Iā€™d like to request some Johnny fluff please? Like maybe a soulmate auĀ 
Summary: You were unconcerned about soulmate things because getting it was the end of your final year in collage and time was counting down until graduation. But what happens when your soulmate suddenly appears right before your finals exams and it turns out heā€™s been there for much longer than you knew? Having your soulmate in your head was not something you needed but the more you get to know him, the more you appreciate him being there. College!Johnny x reader
Note: So um Iā€™m like officially in love with him now, I need a Johnny :P
(Also yall I got a bit carried away on this part..itā€™s like a ton longer)
Warnings: The cavity inducing fluff Word Count: 2.9kish
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9Ā 
BTW JOHNNY IS LIKE THE KING OF BF LOOKS
Tumblr media
Your comment makes him laugh, white teeth glinting in the lamplights as he glances over at you. "Sure baby we can."
You smile back at him. "Thanks love. I have a sudden craving for a Matcha Latte. And it's Chicago. Aren't the Starbucks supposed to be like super fancy?"Ā 
Johnny laughs again and shakes his head. "My god you're adorable," which sends a fresh blush to your cheeks, "I guess they're okay, I mean I've never really compared Starbucks."Ā 
"Ahh..."Ā  You hum in response and resume your place at the window, happy to be getting Starbucks soon.Ā 
Soon Johnny pulls into the Starbucks parking lot and puts the car in park. "Come on babe. You should walk some more because of the flight."Ā 
You unbuckle your seatbelt and reach for the door handle but then the door was already opened with Johnny waiting patiently for you.Ā 
"After you my love." He bows like a butler and gestures with his hand. You get out of the car and hit him softly.Ā 
"I didn't realize you were such a dork. But thank you kind sir."Ā  You say with a soft light. "And he's a gentleman. Mom will like that, extra brownie points for him."Ā  You think to yourself.Ā 
Johnny just smiles at you, very proud of himself. He grabs your hand and you two go into Starbucks.Ā 
"Ummm... I'll have a tall Matcha Latte, iced please."Ā  You tell the tired barista. You dig around in your bag for your wallet. When you finally retrieve it from the depths of your purse, the barista already has a card in hand and then hands the card back to Johnny.Ā 
"Johnny! You didn't have to do that!"Ā  You scold him.Ā 
He just shrugs.Ā 
"What type of person am I if I can't even buy my soulmate a drink from Starbucks her first night here?" He says with that cheeky smile of his.
Huffing and rolling your eyes, you wrap your arms around him. "Thank you, I appreciate it. But you're not paying for me always on this trip. Got it? You're still a college student too."Ā 
Johnny wraps his arms around you and squeezes lightly. "Just let me spoil you a little. You deserve it." Then he kisses you softly on the top of your head and nuzzles your hair.Ā 
You're pretty sure by the end of this trip you won't be solid anymore. You'll just be a pile of mush from the amount Johnny has made you melt.Ā 
"Johnny! Y/N!" The barista calls out, setting your drinks down on the counter.
Johnny untangles himself from you and grabs your drinks. He gestures to the door and you walk out, heading to his car.Ā 
Back in the car and on the road, you wrap your hands around your latte and take a sip.Ā 
"Oh my god, I needed this."Ā  You moan."It's so good."
Johnny chuckles at your reaction, cheeks growing a little pink. "It's that good? Well, I'm glad we got one for you then."Ā 
You look over at him. One hand on the wheel and the other on his drink, as he brings it up to his lips and takes a sip. Oh my god, those plump lips. He's driving you crazy at how effortlessly hot he is being. Add the slight smile and crinkled eyes and you're a goner.Ā 
"I can feel you burning holes into my head. Do you like what you see?" He teases and looks at you, those brown eyes sparkling before going back to the road.Ā 
You jump, startled that you were caught. A familiar heat creeps back into your cheeks and you look away. "You tease..." You mumble.Ā 
"I'm sorry Y/N, I didn't hear that. What did you say?" He flashes another cheeky smile at you.Ā 
"I called you a tease."Ā  You say louder, looking back at him.Ā 
He laughs again, "Only for you."Ā 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little bit later, Johnny pulls into his driveway and shuts off the car. "Welcome to my home baby." You smile up at the cute little house. Johnny's house. Where he grew up. Where he lives with his mom and dad when he's not at school. His mom... his dad....
Your stomach crawls into your throat. You forgot about meeting his parents. You begin to nervous sweat again. Sometimes you weren't the best with new people but especially your soulmates parents.Ā 
Your future in-laws.
Ā Before you can freak out anymore, your car door opens. Johnny had gotten out your luggage for you and was waiting.
"Ready?" He lends you a hand. You get out of the car and shut the door, the sound echoing into the night. He looks at you in the moonlight. "You okay Y/N? You look a little pale." Taking your face into his hands, he looks at you closely.Ā 
"I-i'm just nervous."Ā  You admit.Ā 
"Nervous about what?" Concern shows in his eyes.
"Meeting your parents..." Your voice gets small and you shift your eyes to the ground.Ā 
Johnny pulls you in for a hug and strokes your hair. "It'll be alright, I promise. It's scary but they're pretty cool people. Really inviting I've been told by my friends. They'll love you. I have no doubt of that." He makes you look up at him, your chin propped up on his chest.Ā 
"You sure?"Ā  Your heart thuds a little softer now and your stomach goes back in its place.Ā 
He nods and shows you that radiant smile. "I'm sure."Ā 
Burying your face into his chest one more time, you take a deep breath and let him lead you up to the front door.
Johnny opens up the door quietly and ushers you inside. Leaving your suitcase and backpack near the door, he grabs your hand and gives it a quick squeeze.Ā 
You step into the living room light, trying to hide yourself behind Johnny's height. Peeking around his arm you see his parents. They were this cute old Korean couple, who to your relief seemed to be sound asleep.Ā 
"They must have fallen asleep waiting for us..." Johnny says softly. He goes over to his parents and nudges their shoulders. "Eomma...Appa..Y/N is here..."Ā 
The couple rouses slightly, finally seeing you. His mom rubs her eyes and stands up.Ā 
"Ahhh! This is the girl who has my Johnny's heart. How was your flight? Are you hungry? I can make you something?" Your heart melts at how kind she is.Ā 
You shake your head. "Oh no it's alright, I'm not that hungry. But thank you! My flight was good, I slept the whole time."Ā  You smile at his mom. She returns the gesture.Ā 
"Okay then, it was nice to meet you Y/N. I wish I could talk to you more but I think it is time for me and Johnny's appa to go to bed. We will see you tomorrow. Anything you want special for breakfast? French toast? Blueberry pancakes?" His mom asked, making your heart melt even more.Ā 
You think for a minute. "Umm blueberry pancakes please. And that's alright, you two go sleep and it was nice meeting you too!"Ā  She gives you another smile while Johnny's father follows her and flashes you a tired smile and a small wave. You wave and smile back.
With his parents out of the room, your heart rate finally goes back to normal. You let out a breath and pull your scarf off from around your neck since it was warm in the house.
Then from behind you, Johnny wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you flush to his hips. He rests his chin on your head before bending down to move it to the crook of your neck.Ā 
His breath ghosts across the sensitive skin there and his nose tickles you oh so slightly.Ā 
So much for your heart rate going back to normal.
Your scarf slips from your fingers and onto the floor.
"I think that went well." He murmurs softly into your neck. "See, nothing to worry about."
You squirm a little in his arms, afraid his mom would come out at any moment and see you two.Ā 
Johnny tightens his hold on you, pinning you against him, making your cheeks heat up. He places soft kisses on the side of your neck, so light you almost don't feel them.
Ā You absentmindedly tilt your head so your neck is more exposed, closing your eyes in the process. Johnny groans deep in his throat, the sound vibrating slightly against your neck.Ā 
Then your neck gets cold as he pulls away and releases you. He pushes back his hair with one hand, letting out a tight breath. Those black locks fall onto his forehead, no longer styled.Ā 
He gives you a cheeky smile. "Just checking that you're really here." His cheeks were flushed a bit. You look back at him with equally flushed cheeks.Ā 
"Oh I'm here."Ā  You step closer, the urge to kiss him almost unbearable.Ā 
Then he gets a look on his face. "Hey babe it's not too late still. Do you want to go for a little night walk? We can see if we can see the stars and I want you to move around some more so you don't get any blood clots because of the flight." He is still like a doting mother in person. "My mom was telling me all about it before you showed up."
You're a bit surprised by the quick change in the mood. but you shrug it off. "Sure, that sounds nice."Ā  You give him a soft smile.
He gives you a quick peck on the cheek, "Let me go change into some sweats and a sweatshirt then real quick." Then he bounds up the stairs to where you assume his room is.Ā 
You bend down and pick up your scarf, wrapping it back around your neck. Looking around Johnny's house something catches your eye. A book on a side table. You walk over and pick up the book.Ā 
It's a scrapbook, filled with pictures of baby Johnny.Ā 
You are flipping through the pages, uwuing at the progression of baby Johnny to awkward middle school Johnny to high school graduation.Ā 
"Oh my god she left that out?" A voice startles you and makes you jump. Johnny chuckles a little. "Sorry babe, didn't mean to scare you." He puts his head on your shoulder, looking over it at the scrapbook.Ā 
"You were so cute Johnny..." You said in a low voice, leafing through more pages.
"Um excuse me? Was?" He said in an offended whisper.
"I meant when you were younger! You're still cute now but like a different cute ya know?" You laugh at him and pat his cheek that's on your shoulder.Ā 
You finish looking through it and set it back down on the side table. Turning around to your soulmate, you see he changed into black sweats and a black hoodie zipped up to the dip of his collarbone. It was all paired with a black baseball cap with his equally inky black hair sticking out on his forehead. He looked really good.
Like really good in casual clothes.
"Ready now?" He tilts his head as he bites his Starbucks straw.Ā he must have picked up his drink off the side table.
Damn him and wanting to wait to make your first kiss special.Ā 
You nodded. "Yeah."
He grabs your hand and steps back out into the night with you.Ā 
"So like I don't have a plan on where to walk to... I just kinda wanted to hold your hand as we walked around and it be quiet." He admits as he softly swings your connected hands.Ā 
You shrug and give him a smile. "That sounds perfect."Ā 
Johnny smiles back at you. "God you're so amazing."Ā 
You're lucky it's dark out and the street lights are dim so Johnny couldn't see you blush for the hundred millionth time.
After some time walking you see a park close by. Letting go of Johnny's hand, you take off for the park heading for the swings.Ā 
Finding the swing you want, you plop down on it and look for your soulmate. He eventually makes it there a bit after you and has his phone pulled out.Ā 
"I want to take a picture of you." He says from behind his phone. You pose and smile big for the camera. Johnny doesn't lower his phone after a few pictures so you start to make different faces at him. You stick your tongue out, go cross eyed, throw out a peace sign, puff your cheeks out, etc.
Laughing, he finally lowers his phone, satisfied. "It's going to be hard for me to pick one for my phone background." He says while falling into the swing next to you.Ā 
"I have an idea to make it easier. Can I borrow your phone love?" You hold out your hand.
Johnny quirks up an eyebrow curious. "Sure." And he hands over his phone.Ā 
You swing sideways to him and catch his swing chains, pulling yourself over to him so your swings are together.Ā 
"Come here."Ā  You move your face close to his and hold the phone up.Ā 
Turning your head, you plant a kiss on his cheek. You feel Johnny's breath hitch a little in surprise.
Ā You press the camera button a few times, hoping there was a good one. Pulling back from Johnny, you click open his gallery to look at the pictures.Ā 
You were kissing Johnny's cheek while he had his huge, eye-crinkling smile. Your favorite smile. The one that was infectious and made your heart stutter.
There was just enough light from the street lights but the picture was still a bit dark and grainy from the night.Ā 
It was perfect.Ā 
"I love it." Johnny took his phone back into his hands to get a closer look. "And I love you Y/N." He looked up at you with eyes that liquifiedĀ your heart. His soft brown eyes were so full of love and shining in the night. You could see the stars in them and it tugged at your heart.
"I love you too Johnny."Ā  You leaned into his shoulder, placing your head on it. "I want to kiss you so bad."Ā  You mumbled.Ā 
"I know, I do too. But it will be worth it I promise. Then you can kiss me however much you want to." He winks at you. "We'll make up for the lost kisses, don't worry."Ā 
You laugh and hit his chest before letting go of his swing so your swing goes back to its spot.Ā 
A shiver runs through your body, making your swings chains rattle.Ā 
"Are you cold baby? Do you want to go back home?" Johnny leans over, putting his face in front of yours.Ā 
"Home..."Ā  You liked the way that sounded coming off of Johnny's tongue. "Yeah let's go home."
The walk home was cold but not too bad. You blew warm air out making "smoke clouds" and Johnny did the same, teasing when his were bigger than yours.Ā 
"That's because you're so full of hot air." You tease him back.
After that comment he grabs you by the waist and lifts you up threatening to throw you in a snow bank. You kick and squirm until he sets you down laughing more. "Payback."Ā 
You hit his arm and take off running when you see his house so he won't try to throw you again.Ā 
Inside Johnny helps you carry up your stuff to his room. It's a normal guy room, kind of bare since he lives mostly at school. But it was cute. Very Johnny.Ā 
You shower first and then Johnny does. Exhausted, you almost fell asleep waiting for Johnny to get done.
He comes in the room drying his hair with a towel. His arms up lift up his t-shirt a little revealing a strip of tan, toned skin. Even unintentionally this kid teases you relentlessly.Ā 
After deeming his hair dry enough, he slides into bed next to you. You are curled up on one side in the fetal position, barely able to keep your eyes open.
You hear Johnny softly chuckle and then feel him kiss your nose. You crack open your eyes to see him settling back on his phone looking through something.Ā 
Moving closer to him, you lay your head on his chest which gives you a view of his phone.Ā 
He's scrolling through pictures from today. You didn't realize it but he was taking candid pictures of you all day. There were pictures of you ordering your drink at Starbucks, a few of you looking out the window at the lights when he was at a stoplight, ones of you walking in front of him on your walk, the pictures from you guys on the swings,Ā  and ones of you on your way home from the park.Ā 
You had no makeup on, hair all frizzy from a day of travel and your red nose peeking out from your scarf but you loved how they looked. Johnny really had a knack for photography.Ā 
"You're good at this Johnny..." You mutter softly.Ā 
"You think?" His answer rumbles in the ear that's pressed to his chest.Ā 
You nod, too tired to answer.Ā 
He glances down at you on his chest and sees your eyes are closed. Your thick eyelashes flutter every once in a while and your lips part slightly in soft breaths. It was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen. He took a few pictures of you to document then shut his phone off and set it on his nightstand.Ā 
Johnny gently brushed your hair with one hand while the other wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer to him. You roused a little and sleepily buried your face into his chest and wrapped a leg around one of his before going still again.Ā 
Closing his eyes, he planted a soft kiss on your head. "Goodnight Y/N, I love you so much."Ā 
Then he followed you to sleep.Ā

iā€™ve been tagged by the ever-so-amazing @kidsarentallwrite , so thank you! love seeing your answers as always hahaha and am always thankful that you remember me for these games <3Ā  1. Go to song when you need to get into the mood to write? sad songs. usually my favourite jay chou song, or some really sad hua chenyu pieces. but yea, always sad mandopop.Ā  and then i write a funny scene right HAHAHAHA ok no not always (my recent snippet was following a sad hcy song and it is ... hm. is it sad? i donā€™t know.) 2. Dream director for a film/television adaption? taikaaaa yoooooo!!! shout out to my best boy i canā€™t wait to watch jojo rabbit!Ā  edgar wright in the lines of the cornetto trilogy &/ scott pilgrim like manĀ the cornetto trilogy was l i f eĀ  stephen chow for the most ridiculous nonsensical situational comedy that takes place in my wip (iā€™m thinking the fish scene, yall know that elusive fish scene that i always name-drop but never go into specifics about - gimme that in the style of kungfu hustleā€™s strongest woman!) 3. If you ever saw your WIP go to stage, is more likely to be a play or a musical? musical. itā€™d be a very boring play since nothing happens, and itā€™s ridiculous enough for the characters to break out in random musical numbers and stillĀ be valid. on immediate thought i can imagine teng wailing into the night singing a song about a forlorn love while zhen throws a shoe at him and jun sings a bad back-up harmony and ren is just there in the corner, rubbing at his temples and shou will act the part of the audience on stage and cheer and throw flowers and wail equally loudly in tears of absolute astonishment and delight yes. 4. Favourite thing youā€™ve written? eh. in my wip, or in general???? honestly i canā€™t think of anything. sometimes when iā€™m re-reading my writing / drabbles / whatever, in hindsight im likeĀ ā€˜whoa i wrote that??ā€™ and then i re-read it AGAIN and im likeĀ ā€˜ew, i wrote that?ā€™ and the cycle repeats x100 my favourite thing from my wip so far though, i think i have an actual scene for that. itā€™s this scene after all of them listens to this story. they are really affected by it, though none of them show it, and the next day shou just goes wandering around the streets and has this sorta experience andĀ  itā€™s written a little vague, a little dazed and confused but also really... hm. kinda magical-ish and surreal and i think it was written pretty ... nicely. yea. HAHA. (maybe iā€™ll let you read it someday *winks* HAHAHAHAHA) 5. Top five authors, go! ME.Ā  jk hahahahahaha. do i mean just kidding or do i mean jkr? who knows?? okay in all seriousness i love leigh bardugo, i love marie lu, ofc i love my man rick riordan and my childhood hero roald dahl. the last oneā€™s for grabs, who wants to throw their name into the hat?Ā  6. Biggest influences to your writing? idk, a lot of things. music and musical scenery (as in, yknow, certain visualisations you get when listening to songs & its mood and atmosphere etc. also i was watching pavarottiĀ the other day for work, yknow the film about italian opera tenor luciano pavarotti? and in that film they mentioned something pretty interesting, in that in italian opera they first write down the lyrics, and then only after do they compose music to go with the lyrics so that each music strand is as evocative of the feelingĀ of the word as possible, and i think thatā€™s really cool) humour, definitely. most of my OCs came about from a line of dialogue that i just needed them to say. yes they are all manifestations of words. isnā€™t that all characters?Ā  but really. mostly just a sort ofĀ feeling. canā€™t really describe it. thatā€™s why i have a hell of a difficult time getting inspirations huh? 7. What do you use more, first/second/third person? when i was younger i used to do first person, but now i canā€™t stand to do first person hahaha itā€™s just a little odd for me i need my third-person. sometimes i canā€™t really bear to read first-person either, at least since iā€™ve grown older. i donā€™t really know why, canā€™t pinpoint it. some first-persons are really good though. 8. What social media would your OCs have? uhhhh iā€™m not a big social media person, so i donā€™t really know. iā€™ve stopped using instagram since the beginning of this year, and itā€™s odd because people never remember that i donā€™t use instagram. itā€™s like a thing that everyone assumes that everyone has and uses, i guess -- it just canā€™t stick in their minds that iā€™m not anymore. just an interesting observation 9. Why do you write the genre you write? the more important question is, what isĀ my genre? HAHAHA. okay i donā€™t know, i just like writing character and character interactions and i love introspective pieces (even though mine, arguably, isnā€™t particularly introspective since no one wants to thinkĀ in that, tsk, typical humans) 10. Team Edward or Team Jacob? when i read the books i was a 100% team jacob, until he went and imprint on a newborn baby and i was like ew bro whatā€™s wrong with you so iā€™m team no-one now. both sides are creepy, unfortunately. 11. Whatā€™s your guilty pleasure movie? no guilty pleasures! not ashamed of letting people know what films i enjoy watching HAHAĀ  i am a very conventional film-viewer and i like commercial stuff with mass appeal. sue me. like even though iā€™m writing film reviews for my internship right now and youā€™d assume iā€™d be all art-house and stuff, but like, no that stuff takes up too much brain energy i like fun, mass-appeal commercial stuff that forces you to engage in it and use your brain, whether during / after the film. thatā€™s why parasite is fking amazing and itā€™s my favourite film of this year. if you havenā€™t watched it, WHY THE HELL NOT?Ā  tagging a few peeps at @coffehousecreations @bahay-kubo @insearchof-solace @kaigods @aslanwrites @bookenders @mvcreates @tenacious-scripturient @inexorableblob @focusdumbass questions underĀ ā€˜read moreā€™!
1. why did you choose writing as a medium instead of other artistic endeavours? 2. what language(s) would you love your wip to be translated into, and why? 3. how would you describe your own writing? 4. who do you look up to the most in the writeblr community, be it their energy or personality or writing? 5. give yourself three compliments in terms of your own writing ability! you deserve it!Ā  6. how much does real-world events translate into your writing? 7. what is your all-time favourite film? 8. how would you rate your writeblr experience as of now? how has it differed from your prior expectations? 9. what trope / inspired scene do you want to put in your wip, but havenā€™t? 10. give us a summary of one of your earliest wips! 11. what do you enjoy reading most from another personā€™s writing? bonus question (for, ahem, personal reasons): have you watched parasite? why / why not? what do you think of it?

thoughts on t*sp
look. at first i told myself that i wasnā€™t gonna watch this show, and then the very next day it got leaked so i was likeĀ ā€œyou know what? im gonna watch it anyway!ā€ and thats the worst decision that ive ever made in my life because this show was... bad. could it have been worse? definitely, given the fact that it was an emma frost show based on a philippa gregory book. but this was still terrible enough for me to type this post up, so here we go!
i can guarantee you that youā€™ll have a more fun time reading this post than you will watching TSP. this is under a read more because.. whew.. theres a lot.
THE CASTING
first and foremost: the actress playing KOA cannot act. sheā€™s really pretty, granted, but her acting was genuinely terrible. like.. i cringed almost every time there was a scene terrible. not only was her spanish accent bad but she felt so.. stiff, i guess would be a good word, whenever she said something. and that didnā€™t do anything to help the fact that she has a bad case of ScarJo Feverā„¢ (if you donā€™t know what that is: itā€™s when an actor/actress only makes the same three facial expressions) people need to stop hiring actresses and actors just because theyā€™re attractive and actually make sure that they can act. at this point, i am Begging!
the actor playing harry was actually good though, at least in my opinion. he did his best with what he was given and i really admire that! you can tell that he was putting a lot of effort into it, even though the way that they wrote him was really out of character for that period of his life (see: this post)
h7ā€²s actor was good in the scenes that he was in, but the way that they treated h7 was so.. weird? they didnā€™t make him as creepy as i thought that they were going to when i first found out they were making an adaptation of TCP, but there was still this lowkey creepy vibe that he had going on.. i honestly dont know how to explain it, but it was there. also he slapped the shit out of harry in a scene??? that was messy as HELL
the actress for margaret beaufort was good, but there were some scenes that just had me like.. oh? on god? (most notably the death scene, but iā€™ll get into that hot mess later) you could tell that she was trying hard, even if they made MBā€™s character arc terrible.
the actors that played lina and her love interest were amazing, though. they worked with what they had and i really liked what they did with them even though the writing was shit. the scene with their wedding was adorable and really well acted!
angus imrie (arthur) was good, too! but the wig that they gave him? atrocious. iā€™m going to see it in my nightmares. georgie henley was really good in the scenes that we saw her in as meg tudor, but most of the scenes she was in werenā€™t that good and thatā€™s wack :ā€™)
i donā€™t know the name of the actress that played juana of castile in the episode she was in, but i liked her acting, too.. even though the writing for her was kind of cringy.
before i end this section i should let it be known that i was more attached to juana, meg and arthur in the few episodes they were in than i was to KOA during the entire show. itā€™s so tragic like. how are you going to cast a lead actress that cant act?? Hello???
before i get into the issues with the writing and creative direction i have with the show, i just wanna say: the pacing of the show was terrible and really, reallyĀ difficult to follow. the entirety of the second episode, which followed from their KOA/arthur marriage to arthurā€™s death, probably had the worst pacing. it felt like only a few weeks had passed in the showā€™s time, when it was supposed to be what? six months? and there was so indication of a timeskip between episode 6 and episode 7, even though juana was still in england at the end of episode 6 and h7 died about 10 minutes into episode 7? itā€™s so tragic.
okay, moving on!
THE CREATIVE DIRECTION
look. i get that itā€™s a show and of course thereā€™s going to be historical license but... GOD this show went above and beyond.
thereā€™s so much i want to say here, but the most important one that i have an issue with is the shit that they did with linaā€™s character. erasing the fact that she was a slave owned by ferdinand and isabella and then later given to KOA was absolutely terrible. and then not only did they do thatĀ ANDĀ make her KOAā€™s most loyal lady-in-waiting, but they erased the fact that she was forced to convert to christianity, forced to stop using her birth name and instead having to use the name of her new owner in the name of #StrongFemaleFriendships. disgusting!
EF: lina is KOAā€™s most faithful servant and they have a strong female friendship!! hashtag woke!! hashtag feminism!! my black ass:
Tumblr media
honestly it gets even worse because KOA and linaā€™sĀ ā€œcentral female friendshipā€ was barely even there. lina had more scenes with rosa, one of KOAā€™s other ladies-in-waiting, than she did with KOA. not to mention that KOA was manipulative to lina and kept saying stuff likeĀ ā€œyou owe me serviceā€ or stuff along those lines? it was so shitty. lina sweetie im so sorry that this ugly ass bitch would even try you
the next big thing that i had a problem with was the fact that they aged up harry, when in reality he was about 11 years old when KOA first came to england. like, i canā€™t really go that much into it because even thinking about the fact that they aged him up to make him Arthurā€™s Hotter, All-Around-Better Brotherā„¢ when he was fucking 11 makes me kinda sick but. ughh it was terrible.
not to mention the fact that they villainized margaret beaufort because of course they did. apparently you cant be a middle aged woman without being villainized?? especially not in an emma frost show. but the way that they villainized her was so ugly. and the fact that they attributed shit like edmund dudleyā€™s execution to her when it happened an entire year after she died? Hello????
the way that she just took over and declared herself regent when h7 was in mourning for elizabeth of york and kicked KOA out of the palace + the way she tried to threaten margaret pole & lina into revealing that KOA wasnā€™t a virgin.. shgkhhgsfhgkshjbjsjb that shit was so fucking messy its like they tried to make her a fusion of mother gothel from tangled and ursula from the little mermaid
the way that they made EoY dislike KOA was so weird? and the way that both her and margaret beaufort assaulted her by kissing and groping her respectively was weird and definitely uncalled for.
this is a minor one in the gist of some of the other things but why did they make EoYā€™s last daughter a stillborn child? someone correct me if iā€™m wrong, but didnā€™t she live for about a week before she died? but then again, i remember that she named their daughter after KOA, so they probably did that to avoid the fact because they made EoY hate her. messy
arthurā€™s wig counts as a creative decision right? well whoever gave him that wig needs to be fired. PERIOD
arthurā€™s wig:
Tumblr media
me:
Tumblr media
whoever did meg tudorā€™s costumes also needs to be fired tbfh they were so bad. what did she ever do to yall
THE WRITING
i guess that writing can go into the creative direction category as well, but there were so many problems with the writing that it deserves its own category
KOA was so terrible in this. between her manipulating harry and lina, and the fact that she kept defending the fact that isabella abused juana because ā€œour mother was a queen, a warriorā€ was ugly! ā€œtO bE qUeEn oF eNgLaNd iS mY dEsTiNyā€ girl if you donā€™t shut ya mouth catching these hands is gonna be your destiny
they also made KOA put all of her faith in the fact that she was related to queens? like, every time juana said she couldnā€™t do something because her husband + ferdinand are assholes, or every time isabella was brought up she kept being likeĀ ā€œbut youā€™re/sheā€™s a queen!ā€ it was irritating
all of the predictions about the great matter/KOA not being able to give harry a son were weird. i would have been fine if it had only been like.. one time, because sometimes foreshadowing can be good,Ā but it was brought up every 5 seconds and at the most random times. like when EoY was literally dying in childbirth?? Hello????? god are you there??
AND THE FACT THAT EOY STRAIGHT UP WENT TO HELL AND SAW HER BROTHER GETTING EXECUTED THEN CAME BACK. HELLO??
then when margaret beaufort was about to die and she saw ghosts? and jasper tudor showed up to take her to hell i guess? honestly i didnt know what the fuck was going on but that shit was so fucking messy and wild. i have to laugh
also: i mentioned this earlier but all of those scenes where harry was ranting and raging.. EF really saw the name ā€œhenry viiiā€ and floored it with that huh
they also dumbed harry down imho.. Wack!
juana seducing harry was a hot ass mess in its own right, but honestly? juana and harry had more chemistry in that one minute scene than KOA and harry had in the entire show
we were not even 10 minutes into the pilot and they were already trying to portray isabella as a #WokeFeministQueen. how, you might ask? why, by showing her leading a group of men to kill black muslims for their faith, of course! didnā€™t you know that being racist and islamophobic is hip and feminist when youā€™re a queen?
like i get that its from KOAā€™s point of view but in the opening monologue of the pilot they mentioned that isabella overthrew the moors like it was a #Feminist thing to do and not a part of her orchestrating massacres and contributing to genocide? @ EF: on GOD??
tbh? shocked that KKKristopher KKKolonizer wasnā€™t mentioned in a positive light based on how much they tried to glorify isabella. like what catholic monarchs stan was allowed to work on this show with EF and P. Gregory?? hello????
iā€™m totally fine with the whole plot point about katherine lying about her virginity, since weā€™ll probably never know the truth about whether or not she and arthur consummated their marriage, but it was poorly executed in both the writing and in CHā€™s acting. i could tell that she was lying and so did.. almost everyone, really.
the scene where they were about to.. i guess lynch linaā€™s love interest forĀ ā€œstealingā€ made me really uncomfortable. i dont even know how to explain it
h7ā€²s death scene.... this is all i have to say about it
margaret beaufort ordering the execution of edmund dudley was shitty for a lot of reasons but honestly him screamingĀ ā€œfuck you all to hellā€ was hilarious
the ending scene of episode 7 where they were in the chapel and henry asked KOA if she was still a virgin was bad writing and CHā€™s acting made it even worse. cant even lie convincingly smh
margaret poleā€™s plotline was so confusing.. i barely knew wtf was going on with her the entire show? it all felt so rushed and forced. it was weird
EoY and h7 had some cute scenes together though. and that was like.. one of the shows only real redeeming qualities
thatā€™s about it for this post about TSP! my overall rating for it is a 0.5/10. it was super shitty, but i liked arthur, juana and meg tudor so it gets a 0.5 instead of a plain 0. and apparently theres one episode left too.. DREADING it. anyways: emma frost absolutely failed in her goal to be likeĀ ā€œits not all about anne boleyn!ā€ because if anything this show made me think about how claire foy and natalie dormer were both robbed of awards so.. if reading this post gave you hives? go watch wolf hall or the tudors for their great performances!
thanks for reading! :)
