XERO, HELP- THE NEW LAES EPISODE HAS ME SO CONFLICTED-

ON ONE HAND IT'S LIKE- HELL YEAH, GEMINI IS HERE!! WE EVEN GET LUMINI MOMENTS-

ON THE OTHER HAND- THEY WERE SO HARSH???

Don't get me wrong, I understand they're angry, they have every right to be! Lunar caused them a lot of stress, and quite a few problems!

BUT LIKE- THEY WENT SO OUT OF LINE!! This wasn't just blunt, this was downright mean, and rather cruel as well!

In their eyes, Lunar isn't trying hard enough, and yet they've been watching.

Lunar lost someone they loved, and still kept it together.

They talked to the cause of it, and didn't lash out.

Hell, they talked to Eclipse of all people, trying to make amence, and came out of that positively!

They've been trying so hard!

Now, I agree, that there needs to be more progress. But they just started, and are honestly handling it very well, and very fast!

Yes, people need to be more blunt with Lunar, and yes, no one was before. But as Lunar said, there's a line between being blunt, and being rude! This was just rude, and a lot of it felt…unnecessary, almost? I don't know, I'm conflicted-

Now, on the other hand…BY GOD, THE ENDING-

It was so sweet?? I still don't agree with what they did, but after letting out frustration, it seems all that's left is worry!

The entire ending section had me running up my walls!!! It was so tender, it was so soft!

The way they tried to make Lunar understand, they do things out of worry…and in a way, they want Lunar to get to know them better, see the real, true them!

The way Lunar asked, if they were okay with being so close, only to get a soft agreement as answer- AH, I CAN'T- Also, Lunar implying Gemini is in their dreams a lot👀

That all being said, I really don't like this whole "no powers" rule. With the Creator being after them, this might have consequences later on…

-Stardust

I KNOWWWW RIGHTTTT?????

LIKE. I can never tell if it's just a me thing or not but like u said Gemini just had NO MERCY FER A MINUTE THERE. Like, Lunar said so too, that there's a threshold for bluntness that crosses over into just Being Mean but then they were both like "but that line hasn't been crossed yet" LIKE. I FEEL LIKE IT WAS BUT IDK. idk!!!

like on one hand yea sometimes a wake-up call like that is needed. but also DAMN??? Handshaking u on feeling so conflicted abt it all bc MAN HFJDHCJK

AND THE ENDING..... HONESTLY THE ENDING WAS SUCH A RELIEF TO ME AHAJANA LIKE. It was just insanely reassuring to me to see that Gemini does still care, the fondness they had for Lunar before hasn't rotted away, it's just quiet right now because of the whole [vague hand motions] everything.

AND AOAUAGHH YEA LUNAR CHECKING THEIR BOUNDARIES AND THEM SAYING IT WAS OKAY MADE ME SO EMOTIONAL AHJSBSJD like [roommates vine voice] oh my god they're sitting close to each other....

BUT THE NO POWERS RULE,,, YEA. I had a similar thought that this is going to backfire on them horribly in some way. Like, it'll either be "Lunar has to use their powers and pisses off the astrals" or "Lunar doesn't use their powers when they should have and gets kidnapped or hurt by the creator/some other danger." Both options only lead to more trouble and its just so aoauaghghh

THE COMEDY IN PART 3 OF ISLANDS MY BELOVED HEHEHE

[umeqii]

-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀YOU'RE FUCKING CRAZY ⠀⠀⠀. . . ⠀⠀⠀but you're lowkey cool .

fandom ; class of 09

character ; nicole

gender ; female reader (lesbian nicole real)

creator ; umeqii

QUICK A/N - so like idk i'm a nicole kinnie and so like i might (i will) self project but yk ^_^ and uh idk i js wanted to post smth abt co09 bc like all i saw was mf jeffery ones and no one likes jeffery he's a fucking wierdo anyways!!

TW - like it's co09, so mentions of pedophilia, drugs, dark humor, sh, suicide jokes, things like that :P

─── WHAT IT'S LIKE DATING NICOLE !!

okay so it's quite clear that nicole is a sociopath, and she's aware of it and she payed VERY little attention to you at first

i guess you were just like, that one girl who just sits in class n minds her business and overhears alot of weirdass drama like that one blonde bitch kelly being inlove with her cousin or something

but you had a new student, and you gotta admit, she was really pretty ≥∇≤ !!

her personality; not so much (real though)

anyways, you grew up to read people really easily from the way you were raised n shit so when you first spoke to nicole in class, you realised she was faking to smile; or just faking to be nice in general

so you kept that in mind, but didn't say anything because you were loekwy afraid :P

one time, you guys had science together n this kid jeffery kept tryna talk to nicole and it's not like you were mad at her for tryna make new friends, it was jeffery you were mad at

he didn't even acknowledge you one bit ☠️☠️

so you just end up standing next to them saying nothing and looking like a random stranger

when nicole sat in her seat, with jeffery rambling about anime girls or something, you saw how she looked REAALLLYYY pissed so you were gonna sit in your seat (which was opposite hers) and ask her

UNTIL THAT BITCH JEFFERY LIKE SAT IN IT ☠️☠️😭😭

you just ended up staring at him with a slightly open mouth when he ignored your soft askings of "can you please move?"

that's when our favourite toxic lesbian said something!! (i'm delusional)

" oh my FUCKING god, next time i hear anything about your stupidass anime cat girls, i will actually hang myself from this light. like who the fuck even asked?? i know damn fuckin' well i didn't. and get your greasy and filthy ass out of y/n's seat, you bitch. "

😨

that was jeffery's face (and lowkey yours' too)

he got out of your seat and mumbled an apology to you and sat somewhere else leaving you and an annoyed nicole sitting in silence

" oh uh...are you? "

" do you have any meth. "

" ah fuck sorry, i don't do.. uh yeah "

" you look like you do, you seem fucking crazy "

" oh. "

so like after that, and you, being the sapphic you are, ended up falling inlove with nicole !!

she was lowkey a bitch and you won't lie, toxic as fuck but she was your only friend and she stuck up for you so that's good??

she treats everyone with no respect at all, but for you, you can see the SLIGHT change in attitude

like you see her with jeffery, then people like jecka and emily, and you!!

she would always say things about you guys making out or having sex in the bathrooms and you couldn't tell if they were jokes or not

but like i lowkey cba to say how ym got together so all ik is that yu asked her out, she made out with yu and yh

so like now HEADCANONS time

nicole is an insecure girl deep, deep down so that's why she acts the way she does.

but yeah, those insecurities make her REALLY jealous 😭😭

it's sometimes concerning .

like one time you were approached by emily and she was asking you if you wanted some drugs or something, which you declined, and you ended up complimenting her hair and saying how it brings out her eyes and she ended up hugging you

then nicole stormed over and started going fucking crazy mode at emily saying how " don't you have like a 30 year old boyfriend you can give head right now? so fuck off and let me give this bitch head instead, you cokewhore!! "

something along the lines of that

like i guess showing affection makes her pretty vulnerable, so when ym are in public she's a bitch

she's really controlling or whatever the word is (toxic)

"y/n, you know how much of a fucking pathetic loser you are? just think how fucked up you would be without me, then. like no offense babe, but you're really fucking deranged in the head but i guess that's something that makes you hot."

okay that's all i can think of but yeah i also hate parental controls like why are only 5 of my apps unlocked like let me go on discord ://

you guys should add me on discord, my user is umeqii yiu bitches /affectionately /nf

[toasted-banana]

sigh., another rant..

tho this time it’s on a hc!!!!!

okay so I read this a couple months ago but it’s stuck with me

grian has a curse.

I’ve only heard it referred to it as “The Black Widow” or smth along those lines but yk how spiders make webs and insects will fly into them and get trapped? yeah. whoever Grian is teamed with suffer fates by *his hands.*

now hear me out.

of course, Scar from 3rd.

Jimmy and Mumbo from Last (as well as Martyn, though he didn’t die PERMANENTLY from Grian..).

BigB, who was his secret soulmate he accidentally killed, and Scar again in Double.. I like to think he teamed with BigB as a way to try and keep Scar safe, to keep him out of the web, but as Scar does he flew in.

Jimmy MANY times in Limited. Like way too many times. (And maybe Joel once or twice iirc? It’s been a while) And Scar who he had been with BOTH IN THIRD AND DOUBLE. (Seeing as Scar was someone he was on like eh terms with. Scar didn’t kill him a couple times when he had the opportunity I think? God idk Limited was a BLUR)

and.. oh boy the Watchers definitely knew Scar would win so they probably destroyed the web for Cleo and Etho but SCAR KILLED ETHO AND CLEOS ONLY PLAYER DEATH WAS FROM PEARL?? (Random fact)

hahaha don’t get me started on wild life. don’t get me started on Mumbo losing all of his final lives because of Grian no matter his series. (Grian killed him in Last, Wither got him (which Grian spawned? well he had the task so eh if I get that wrong then mb) in Secret and Grian’s great idea of the mine cart launcher WHEN IT KILLED HIM AND MUMBO BEFORE ANYWAYS..) Mumbo running to Grian or being by him during THREE OF HIS DEATHS WHICH IS THE NORMAL AMOUNT PER SEASON??? AND ALL THE WILDCARDS ARE HIS IDEAS. ALL THESE DEATHS BY THE WILDCARDS IS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS. IM GOING INSANE. Jimmy you may think you’re safe but even being near that guy with holes for eyes isn’t safe and the fact Scar is allies with Grian now.. ohohohhohoho Jimmy ur cooked

and yes his death will be deserved and satisfying (it’d also be so funny please watchers please listeners wouldn’t it be so fucking funny plz i beg i’ll summon you)



[bucksdoll]

just droppin a barry thought

cw : flirty but nothing overall inappropriate. jus teasing barry with nicknames.

yk how he calls rafe country club? imagine him having those little names for everyone, and when you first meet him you don’t know it’s his ‘thing’, and you think he’s jus bein cute or wtv, so you come up with a nickname for him too and it just drives him insane (in a good way). maybe you two have a pretty flirty relationship, you’ve never done anything about it, but whenever you see eachother you can’t seem to stop. having some conversations here and there, but the friendship is mainly handsy touches and flirty whispers.

smth like bear. like not too much thought behind it, but smth that makes enough sense. bear, kinda short for barry, also just callin him bear as just a beefy guy kinda thing would prolly drive him out of his mind.

imagine you’re at party, and he’s mingling with other people (trying to sell shit), and you just breeze up to him. probably in a short ass flowy dress that you can barely excuse as a swimsuit cover up. you’ve got alc or weed in your system, so everything is jus a little fuzzy, but with that peaceful buzz that just makes you feel sooo good. enough buzz to take the weight off your shoulders and give you a burst of confidence, but not quite enough to start making dumb decisions. the party is pretty loud, there’s a ton of people, so you have to shove a couple shoulders to get to him, but eventually you do.

he’s leaning against the white marble counter, gabbing some group of guys ears off, his words slightly slurred, and the men (clearly on way more shit than he was) were just nodding along absentmindedly. if the house was empty it would feel weird for him to be in such a pristine white kook environment, but considering on the other end of the kitchen island you could see someone snorting a line, it seemed like he fit right in. he was standing towards the edge of the island, the side facing the rest of the crowded room. he held onto the corner of it for support, rafe definitely having convinced him to have a few more claws than he normally had whenever he tries to sell shit at parties.

you walk behind him, grazing your fingers under the hem of his shirt, lightly following his vline up before continuing to trace his shorts waistband around back to where you stood, then pulling your hand away. he lightly flinched, instantly relaxing when he noticed it was you, but knowing barry he probably would’ve relaxed if it was any girl feeling him up.

“hey bear.” you whispered, your hand traveling up his back to his shoulder, where you then rested your head. he turned his head to the side, meeting your face on his shoulder, not even inches away from each other.

“what’d you jus call me?” his brows furrowed a little, and he let a little cocky grin slip before biting his lower lip. his eyes stared into yours, pupils blown, and it was impossible to determine whether it was from the alcohol or how close you two were.

“nuthin.” you reply, your eyes blown too, but yours was definitely from how close you two were. you bit your lip too, very awfully hiding a smile, which still perched at your cheeks. your hand gave his bicep a squeeze, and just as he went to turn around to drill you further, you wandered off towards the backyard. your eyes following him for just a moment, before you turned your head back forward, flipping your hair over your shoulder. you drug one hand delicately down the island as you walked towards the open doors, admittedly swaying your hips a bit more than they normally did as you walked. you breathed in the fresh air as you finally met the open doors, finally out of the atmosphere of the stuffy party, and you just continued your trek. probably going to find a friend to chat with for a bit before barry inevitably catches back up with you later. and who knows what he has in store then.

-feel free to leave me requests for more barry (or their obx character) blurbs !!! i need ideas :)

[mikobeautifulheart]

Tw

Could you do a megumi x reader where he find out about ur selfh@rm or yk something along those lines... 💕I understand if u won't write smth like this tho

Trust me there isn't anything I wouldn't write for. (Except for illegal age gaps) ANNYYWAYYYS here goes nothing

TW: Self harm, low self esteem and angst.

NOT PROOF READ and obvi mentions of self harm, but not close to death. And for some reason I made a whole polit so...it's really extreme so I might write a toned down version later if that's what u wanted.

Even if you were still a student, even if you were to young to drive or drink, you could understand life. Your life as a Jujutsu high student as a sorcerer was something you never really thought about, you were born different, had something special and you had to put it to use as a sorcerer. The killing of curses never bothered you as you understood it was for the greater good, rather it was how you came to be a sorcerer.

You were born and almost shunned at birth, you grew up in a poor suburb with criminals. You could remember moving out of the house as soon as your parents sent to to Jujutsu high, now your parents were no god sends but they were good when they were sober.

"I wont let Yuji die" You said staring blankly at Megumi.

It was Yuji's first mission and Gojo had entrusted you and Megumi to watch out for him as he did you.

"But there's no chance of him living Y/N his hand is gone and Sukuna ripped out his heart, he isn't going to live-"

"I WONT LET HIM DIE" You screamed exorcising the curse in front of you.

you took in deep breaths as you saw Sukuna laugh and turn back into Yuji, you rushed over and held up his body before it could hit the ground.

"YUJI" You scream trying to shake him

"YUJI COME ON, YUJII" you felt Megumi's had touch your shoulder and try move you away but it was no use, you let him die.

"I'm sorry Yuji. I didn't mean to I swear! I tried but your right, I should have tried harder, after all they would have needed you more then me." You said gliding the pocket knife smoothly down your arm letting the red spill out and onto the floor.

You whinced but immeditaly thought of Yuji and his dearth again

"Your the second one I let down, I keep letting people die, why do I let you die? I have no right to cry for anything other then your death." You said holding back tears.

"Y/N!" You heard a horrified yell. You turn your head only to be met with Megumi rushing over to you.

"I let them die Megumi, I'm a killer. I'm so sorry." You said dropping the pocket knife on the floor.

"I LET THEM DIE MEGUMI! MY BROTHER, YUJI, I LET THEM DIE, I DID" You said face streaming with tears as Megumi grabbed your arm and wrapped his uniform around it so the bleeding would lessen.

"NO YOU DIDN'T" Megumi yelled looking at you.

"No you didn't Y/N" he sighed as you felt your knees weaken and sank to the ground followed by Megumi.

"Megumi, you should help me leave jujutsu tech, I can't be here anymore, i'm just a burden. Don't you all get sick of pretending that i'm not?" you asked hiding your face in your free hand.

"Your not one Y/N. Look i've never told anyone else this but I have an older sister, she's in hospital and I can't save her. I don't think her eyes will ever open again but thats why i'm here, fighting for her, hoping that one day she'll be free of the curse and the world will be bright and safe for her." Megumi said taking ahold of your other hand pulling it away from your face.

"You can't save everyone." He said looking right into your eyes.

"But I could have." You said in defeat your body slumping forward, head into Megumis chest.

Shit how much had you bleed out?

Your blood dropped through his uniform. Without thinking Megumi scooped you up and ran to Shoko. She did her job and fixed you up but you had to stay in the clinic over night while she moniterd your recovery because you never woke up, your body was still in shock of the amount of blood loss.

The while night Megumi held onto your hand next to your bed. You woke up to see his mess hair on you bed.

You squeezed his hand

"I can never forgive myself Megumi, but I can live with myself for now." You whispered.

"Then I'll make you see it's not your fault and never was." Megumi said rising his head groggily.

THANKS FOR READING ♡

AUTHORS NOTE: okay so I may have made the self harm a but extreme but if you ever feel remotely suicidal or depressive reach out and find help, I'm always here, sure I'm just another person in the internet but I'm still a person and have sent with these things multiple times before. Obviously reach for close or professional help first though. Have a good whatever time.

[darylsfavoritegirl]

rewatching twd (mostly daryl scenes 😝) and OH LORD i love how he is so pookie-coded. i love how he is just such a supersitious person... that whole chupacabra deal😭😭 i love how he absolutely REFUSES to step back when dale tells the people around them abt that one time daryl claimed to have seen a chupacabra... he is just so confident theyre real😭😭😭 dont even get me started with the cherokee rose episode..

i love imagining how he'd be super into listening other people talk about myths like this, he'd actually be really into it and try to understand the gravity of those situations. i bet pre apocalpyse daryl would worry about ghosts or bad entities pestering him if he had done smth morally wrong (?) yk now and then

i dont remember who it was but someone wrote something along the lines of how merle used to trick him into believing that fairies are real etc on a daryl headcanons post. IT MELTS MY HEART.

[samkerrworshipper]

yk the tiktok audio that’s like ‘i wish you stayed.. i wish id stayed too now i wish id stayed… i wish id done a lot of things i wish id stay i do…’

watch me write the meanest angstiest fic ever about reader leaving arsenal (circa 2020-21ish covid arsenal days) to better her career and it ends up being shit and she gets abused my the coaches or smth and ends up quitting football altogether or something along those lines and moving back to london and regretting the move and just constantly thinking about the what if she hadn’t left arsenal

anywayssss some arsenal girlies fluff where they’re all there for her

when autumn break comes yall should be scared 😡 no more mr nice guy

be afraid 👺

[oddvanilla]

Honey, I'm pregnant and it's yours

Also Petey misses you

Im scared even writing this, I know I'm gonna get smth along the lines of 'go the fuck away' but I jus can't help it

I know u know who this is

Also I'm also very scared of you at the moment

Thank you, and I know it seems weird but I can't help it but, I love you [I seem creepy, sorry, also u don't have to accept it]

Bye bye, u probably won't even post this but I've been killing myself thinking about doing this

Thank you

Also Petey really does miss u 🤣

Also just thanks again

[Also sorry I'm not like talking about our break up or anything Id just prefer to do that if I knew u want to too and not like this]

Bye bye for reals now, id put a silly photo but I'm doing this in anon for some reason :)

Bye bye

Also I know you probably didn't expect this to happen

But hey I needed to do something about it

Bye bye now

HOLY CRAP HOW DID I NEVER SEE THIS??? it must've gotten lost in my notifications or something idk...

HAI R**N* !!! I remember your name and every time I try to type my own, yours always comes first. Even when I'm filling up forums or crap...

I'm sorry for scaring you off!!! I still care about you. And for every time I forget to, here I'll just say: I still love you 🫶 even after everything that happened. You're like impossible to hate. I can't help it either🤷‍♀️

My sister still checks on you, even you know that. She tells me what happened to you and that kinda crap. I feel bad all the time, and I'm sorry. I would've said this way earlier If I could, but stuff happens,, YK?? It hurts me so bad knowing what I caused. I didn't mean to do this to you, and even back when we were friends I tried holding on because I can't let you ruin yourself. I miss what we had, that's one fact.

I do care if you kill yourself. I DO care if you slit your wrist. I do still care about you in general. All I wish you is love, that's pretty much. I even asked my sister to go and give you asks just so you're not alone anymore. I don't care if she replaces me,, hey at least you got a friend!!!

But I never deleted everything we shared. All the screenshots from our conversations are like a comfort place, even. I still listen to every song you used to spam. I know I hate pencey prep and frank iero, but I still listen to their music because it reminds me of you. I only hated MCR because I wanted you to have your own thing. I want you to focus on yourself and crap. But now I just went back to listening to MCR because it's all I have left of you. You deserve a real apology from me if you just let us talk this out!!!

I can't replace you, and you know that. I call people my husband or wife but I still have you in mind. You're the best person on here I know, and even though I hated it or pretended it, I miss waking up to lots of messages. Now I still wake up to those but from lots of different people. I don't like it that way, I wish you could just come back. I waited for you SO long and I gave up. I want you back and I would do anything for that. But I didn't go talk to you directly because you know I want you to have space. I miss having only ONE person to go to. I didn't ignore you because I had other people to talk to!!! If anything, my parents expected so much from me like school and other crap that I don't have time to reply to anyone either!!!

Now it's been rough and stuff. I almost have nobody to open up to. Everyone I know is either always asleep or always can't talk. But you're always there and that's one thing nobody can beat you at. I don't even text people first anymore because I feel like I'm a bother and when I'm with you it just feels easier because. You're accepting.

I never told anyone about what we had in detail. I never tried to do the same things WE did with anyone else either. Nobody has to know about what letters are missing in p** w*y h*g*er. Nobody has to know why we hated your brother and how he was a bitch. I don't even send people frerard fanfics anymore because I don't want a friendship story like ours just a 2.0 version. I think you're the one for me, if anything. I love you and you didn't mess up, I did.

I don't want you to leave me alone, I want you back. If YOU can do this then we could build everything back. just know that even if you don't want me, it's fine. But I won't try to find anyone better,, I'll just sit back, I guess🙏🙏 tell mamacita im not done with rizzing her up🙄🙄

[sparklingcid3r]

my hc is tht paul and darry were close and darry was genuinely rly popular but when he wasnt around the socs still said shitty things abt him and the greasers? wut is ur hc for how the socs (specifically bob) treated darrel? wut was paul doing abt it?

I defff agree that Paul and Darry were probably like Soda+Steve levels of close, you can’t have a beef as nasty as they do during the rumble without being close first.

Here are my hcs! Bob is near the bottom if you still want him specifically, I just got excited by the question lmfao

- Darry are Paul are absolutely part of the popular cliques at school. They’re football stars and shit, girls are hanging off of them at parties

- The girls probably get a kick out of getting with a greaser just for the thrill of being with a “bad boy” or whatever, they pretty much use him for that and then don’t say hi to him in school if they aren’t like the girlfriends of Darry’s buddies, yk?

- Darry doesn’t really know how to feel about that, but in the end he doesn’t really care much about what the girls at school think of him. He’s a teenage boy, if she’s down, he’s down

- I would honestly venture to say that Bob and the Socs still do say shitty things about the greasers even WITH Darry around to hear. And then they'll kind of look at Darry and be like "Yeah but you don't count, man. You're barely even a greaser" or "You don't act like you're from the East side or anything."

- I honestly don’t think he’s saying much to defend the greasers, but he’s def not joining in on the verbal beat down. He'll be silent for as long as it lasts, and if someone tries to get him to talk shit about his side of town he'll just shut it down with smth along the lines of "I don’t really notice tbh” and that’s usually the end of that

- He honestly did used to care how the Socs saw him before his parents died, but he wasn’t going to betray his side of the tracks either

- As for Bob, I think him and Paul were buddies so by extension Darry hung out with him a lot. Imo Bob was absolutely the one starting shit and antagonizing Darry to his face, which is what sparks the “Darry’s one of the good ones” comments bc yeah the Socs actually do like Darry, but they don’t like the greasers. The mental gymnastics goes crazy on the West side

- Where Paul is concerned, he’s defending Darry and maybe Pony and Soda, but that’s where he draws the line. He’s not sticking his neck out for Two-Bit or Dally or even Johnny, and especially not for any greasers he doesn’t know

- And I mean that’s where Paul and Darry’s deterioration probably starts. Darry’s been fine with his side of town getting ridiculed for four years, but during senior year he’s kind of just tired of it when college is right around the corner. He would feel like he’s grown up at least a little bit while everyone else is still an underclassman about it

- All of those feelings accumulating and then his parents die and he just stops making an effort. To hang, make plans, or reach out

This is all the result of just saying what comes to mind when I think of the question, so honestly it could change the more into Darry’s high school life I get. But these are my initial thoughts!

Thanks for the ask!<3
