Randy Meeks x Ghostface!Fem!Reader and TOXIC!Poly!Ghostface x Ghostface!Fem!Reader

Part 1. Part 2. MasterList (4 on MasterList)

Warning : Language, Mentions Killing, Mentions Death, Mentions Sex, Under Age drinking. Toxic relationship (If I missed anything let me know please!)

I do NOT support killing and toxic relationships. if you or a loved one is in one please seek help ASAP!

Summary : Being childhood friends with Billy Loomis wasn't always easy. As you got older he demanded revenge and that you helped him. (He may have manipulated you along the way). After helping kill Sydney's mother you refused to help anymore. Billy and Stu forced you to stay due to blackmail causing you to be in a toxic secret relationship.

Randy held your hand as you walked outside. Billy was standing by Stu glaring at anyone who looked at him wrong. Tatum and Sydney were still by their lockers waiting for Billy to leave.

"Hey!" Stu called out, Randy jumped back bit.

"What the hell do those two want?" Randy mumbled. You shrugged, "No fucking clue.".

Stu ran up to you two, "Hey, heard you two finally did it!". He laughed, "Didn't think Randy boy could pull it off!". You rolled your eyes, "Randy let's go..".

"Remember my place! Around 7!" Stu called out as you two walked away. Randy tossed his keys in his hand.

"Gonna go to work with me?" He asked as he unlocked the car.

"Yeah, Safer in numbers remember?" You slid into the passenger seat. You watched everyone disperse, Randy's sister walked with one of her friends. Sydney and Tatum were talking to Stu, probably about tonight. Billy disappeared, you looked at Randy as he drove out the parking space.

"What movie are we watching tonight?"

"I'm thinking.. Halloween" he smiled. You groaned, "You only watch it for the tits!".

"That's not the only reason why! Besides it's the perfect movie for tonight! With the stalker killer on the loose!"

You looked at him in disbelief, "Why not Prom night?". He took a deep breath, "because you made me watch it 100 times-"

"18 times" you corrected.

"Jamie Lee Curtis is in Halloween!" He defended.

"She's in Prom Night!"

You sunk into your chair, "But I wanna watch Prom Night.". He chuckled at you're posture, you were like a toddler having a melt down. Curled up and pouty, but you only did it cause it was his weakness. He sighed, "Fine, after the party.".

"Yes!" You sat up normally as he parked the car. You walked inside with Randy, the place was packed.

"Go make that money, honey" you kissed his cheek before looking through the movies. Randy smiled putting his name tage on. Once you found Halloween and Prom Night you went to the counter.

"this all?" Randys co-worker asked blandly.

"Yeah."

He sighed scanning them, you waited patiently glancing around the store. Billy and Stu made eye contact with you. You quickly looked away paying for the rentals walking over to Randy.

"I got the movies, can I put them in your car?" You ask putting your head on his shoulder from behind.

"Yeah, here" he reached in his pocket pulling out his keys.

"Then why'd the cops release him, Smart guy?"

"The police are always off track with this shit! If they'd watch Prom Night, they'd save time! There's a formula to it! A very simple formula! Everyone's a suspect!... But Billy.. there's something off about him." Randy started to speak lowly, you turned around starting to walk away.

"You're telling me you think it's Billy?" Stu said pretty loudly. You froze and watched the conversation.

"Well.."

"Why would he kill his girlfriend?!" Stu interrupted

"There's always some bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend. That's the beauty of it all, Simplicity! Besides if it gets to complicated you lose your target audience."

"Excuse me?"

Randy whipped around to look at you, "Not that I would kill you."

"Uh-huh. Imma go out these in the car now." You walked away hearing Stu laughing.

You placed the movies in the car quickly to not be alone to long. You noticed Stu and Randy having a heated conversation. You tried to walk over before Billy grabbed your arm.

"Hey."

"Hi."

"I'm sorry for pulling your arm earlier.." you looked at your arm. There was soft discolor but nothing serious.

"It's whatever. Billy.."

"Hm?"

"I don't wanna kill anyone.." you said softly. He looked around the store, "you won't have to, just sit there and be quiet." He gently touched your cheek before you swept it away. You went over to Randy and Stu, Billy following close behind you.

"Billy, Randy here thinks you're the killer." Stu smiled. You grabbed Randy's forearm trying to take him away. Stu gently pushed you aside, Billy stepped closer to him.

"If you were the only suspect in a senseless bloodbath - would you be in the horror section?" Randy tried to save himself.

"A lot of people like horror. Anyone could be the suspect" Billy stepped even closer.

"You're right, Billy! Anyone could be the suspect! Hell, I should be a number rone suspect!" You rolled your eyes grabbing Randy's arm pulling him away.

"Randy don't let them get in your head." He grabbed another pile of movies to restock.

"I'm not. It's just Fuckface and his guard dog."

You leaned against the shelf he was restocking, "we don't have to go.". He glanced at you, "I know you mentioned that a few hundred times."

You rolled your eyes fighting the urge to correct him. You sighed, "They're dipshits.". He stood Infront of you, "Yeah but I have something they don't."

"Yeah?" You smiled. He grabbed your hips giving you a kiss.

"You." He smiled going back to restocking shelves.

You could feel Billy and Stu's eyes piercing you. You sighed, if only that was the truth.

You and Randy arrived at Stus house a bit early. Stu greeted you both by wrapping his arms around your neck.

"Make yourselves at home! The party's gonna be wicked!" Stu went into the kitchen. Randy flopped on the couch placing the movies on the coffee table. You stood behind the couch gently messing with his hair.

"Can you get me a beer please?" Randy looked up to see you.

"Yeah, gonna start the movie?" You put your head beside his. He kissed your cheek, "Yeah.". You smiled and gave him a small kiss before heading to the garage.

Stu was restock beers in the fridge, he looked towards the door smiling at you. You headed towards the fridge, "Randy wanted a beer..". You took one, Stu lightly placed his hands in his on your hip. You stepped back, "I've missed you.." he whispered.

"I haven't missed you." You turned around to walk back upstairs. Stu grabbed your hips, "Come on..".

"No, Stu. I don't wanna kill people!" You whispered loudly. Stu held your hips tighter you struggle against him.

"Please." He sounded whiny yet demanding. You glared at him, "I want nothing to with you. I am happy with Randy.". Stus grip loosened, "Is it true?".

"What true?"

"You two finally had sex."

"Yes."

Stu raised his eyebrow, "and you enjoyed it?!". You rolled your eyes, "Yes!". Stu smiled, "Yeah right. Lemme show you how a real man does it.". A wide smile was plastered on his face as he whispered. You pushed him back, "No.".

"What are you gonna do when they're all dead and it's just the three of us? Won't have Randy around.."

"I would rather die." You pushed him back further walking up the stairs. Some other kids from school arrived, you handed Randy the bottle.

"Thanks, baby" You smiled at him sinking down on the couch next to him. Halloween already started and he was the only one invested in it. You leaned against him, he kissed your forehead before going back to watch the movie. It got louder as more people began to show up. Thankfully Randy made you watch it so much you knew the words.

"Randy?"

"Yes?"

You sat up to get a good look at him, "I'm gonna get some popcorn, save my seat?".

"Of course."

You fought your way through the kitchen, you got popcorn out of the pantry and put it in the microwave.

"Really know your place around?"

You looked behind you, it was some guy in your math class. He was what Randy called the 'Stone Head comedic relief'. You nodded, "Yeah, me and Stu known each other for a while.". The guy nodded downing his beer. You sighed getting the popcorn bowl, "How come I never see you around much?".

"Uh, I'm usually with Randy, the movie nerd.". You waited for the microwave to ding, you tapped your nail on the counter. You were hoping the guy would move on and try to talk to someone else. But he was standing there, "how about we leave this party?". The microwave finally finished you took out the bag and poured it in the bowl.

"I'm pretty sure my boyfriend won't appreciate that." You grabbed the bowl and started walked away. The living room was more crowded, Randy was chatting it up with some girl from his science class. He's mentioned her, he told you how she sometimes says things that are too bold. She gently slipped her fingers across his forehead as to wipe something. He moved back a bit at the suddenness. You marched over placing popcorn on the coffee table. Randy looked at you and shrugged signaling the girls presents. You plopped down in Randy's lap, due to not having a proper seat.

"Hey, do you need a beer? Seem tense." Randy mumbled.

"No, I'm good.." you tried to relax in his lap. His arms tightened around your waist. His head leaned against your arm to watch the movie. Stu would sometimes pass by watching you. When he did for the 5th time you grabbed the back of Randy's neck kissing him. Randy gave in melting against you softly moaning when you tugged him.

"Sorry was that too much?"

"No, it was perfect." Randy smiled giving you another kiss. Sydney and Tatum showed up, you waved at them from the couch. Billy stumbled in not too long after them, going upstairs with Sydney. Your heart dropped into your stomach. Tatum was gone and Stu was doing god knows what. Nothing seemed strange until Curfew. Some people left a couple stayed, Tatum seemed to still be gone. You worried and looked at Stu for a sign, he just smiled.

Tatum is gone.

You stood up, "Imma go to the bathroom." You gave Randy a small kiss before leaving. You locked yourself in the bathroom holding back tears but a couple leaked through.

You did this

She didn't deserve to die

She was nothing but nice to you

You took shaky breathes looking down at the sink. You wiped your tears trying to contain it all. You needed to backlash their plan.

Sydney's dad.

He's in the closet.

When Randy's too drunk and Stu pretends to kill Billy you'll let him out and send him to get help. You can call Dewey, he came in earlier.

A Weapon. You need a knife for protection, you can hide one under the couch. You took a deep breath walking back to the living room. Randy reclined on the arm rest, he smiled when he saw you. He patted his thigh signalling you to sit. You sat in-between his legs and leaned back.

"Everything okay?"

You attempted to relax in his arms, "Yeah, I'm great.".

Cassie please don't play with my poor heart

For the last few months i feel like i have been through the 7 tages of grief for the wicked powers series, such a rollercoaster of emotions. the few announcements, the kickstarter and the first chapter of tlkof gave me hope tha twp was near. but the news that it will be released in spring 2026 was kind of a let down

Well it is let down but i think not too much. It is 2024, qoaad was in 2018 i have had a lot of years where i have forgotten the books, read them again, overfixated on a differrent thing, remembered again the series, over fixated on a different part of the books... i guess i can continue doing the same for two more years.

I understand this 2 years will be needed for the book to be the best they can be also the publisher determines the date based on whaterever is better for the publisher (i think).

at the end of the day i am happy that cassie stopped working in the tsc world to make the swordcatcher because that change of characters and world refreshed her mind. i think her burnout in cot was obvious

but i wish she had not given us any news about twp in the last few months because i feel like she was raising our expectatives and now we are frustrated we have to continue to wait. it is okay to wait for a writer to write and release a book, she wouldnt be the firts to take a loooot of years to continue a series (the first one i think of is patrick rothfuss), but please dont torture my heart giving me little news making me hope and then saying the wait has to continue.

i wish it had been like: qoaad-> long wait->news of tlkof date the same year of its release

anyways ill keep being thankful of all the content cassie gives us in the meanwhile

First Hello (ENG/DE)

(ENG)

A big hello to anyone who’s reading this right now! (most probably just my family and friends but anyways haha) This is the first blog entry I am ever writing so let’s see how it goes…

Firstly, a short introduction for those who don’t know who I am :) My name is Pia, I’m 19 years old and like to pretend that I’m suuuper independent. I’ve already been on a short solo trip last year in Vienna, Austria for a few days but this is nothing compared to the big trip I’m doing this year! This will be the first time I’m gonna be 11.761 kilometers or 7.308 miles away from my home country… Scary? Maybe a bit. Excited? I’ve never been so ready for a solo trip than this one!

Till now I’ve actually prepared everything from my flight on the 12th of July to booking my apartments and search for all the places I have now on my bucket list, so I’m gonna keep this short for now. My Korean skills improved so I hope I can survive my 3 summer weeks in the country I want to visit so bad!! 

Well, why do I start a blog, when I can just send picture and videos? Why can’t I just call my friends and family?

First of all, there will be a 7-hour time difference so it would be hard finding a good time to call my people. But the main reason I’m doing this is because, …

I don’t want to be stuck on my phone in the cities I planned to see for so long, just to text every person how I’m doing and send them all my pictures over and over again. This blog is not just for me, when I’m looking back at it in the future but also for everyone who wants to know how I am doing in these 3 weeks! I really want to enjoy every moment of my trip and not think about a responsibility to always give an update to everyone. So, this is going to be my update channel for you guys!

I will write about my days here and also upload the photos I took, so you can check what I have been up to. Don’t be nervous when there are days, I may not check in here and text you about my trip, I’m most probably outside enjoying life as much as possible. 

Well, I think that’s it for now! The next blog entry will probably come directly from Busan, till then I hope you have an amazing time and stay tuned for my adventures in a country I’ve only seen on pictures and videos so far :))

(DE)

Ein großes Hallo an alle, die das hier gerade lesen! (höchstwahrscheinlich nur meine Familie und Freunde, aber egal haha) Dies ist der erste Blogeintrag, den ich jemals schreibe, also mal sehen, wie es läuft...

Zuerst eine kurze Einführung für diejenigen, die nicht wissen, wer ich bin :) Mein Name ist Pia, ich bin 19 Jahre alt und mag es, so zu tun, als ob ich suuuper unabhängig wäre. Letztes Jahr war ich schon einmal für ein paar Tage auf einem kurzen Solo-Trip in Wien, Österreich, aber das ist nichts im Vergleich zu der großen Reise, die ich dieses Jahr machen werde! Das wird das erste Mal sein, dass ich 11.761 Kilometer oder 7.308 Meilen von meinem Heimatland entfernt sein werde... Beängstigend? Vielleicht ein bisschen. Aufgeregt? Ich war noch nie so bereit für eine Solo-Reise wie für diese!

Bis jetzt habe ich eigentlich alles vorbereitet, von meinem Flug am 12. Juli bis zur Buchung meiner Wohnungen und der Suche nach all den Orten, die ich jetzt auf meiner Bucket List habe, also werde ich mich erst einmal kurzfassen. 

Meine Koreanisch Kenntnisse haben sich verbessert, also hoffe ich, dass ich meine 3 Sommerwochen in dem Land, das ich unbedingt besuchen möchte, überleben kann!!! 

Warum fange ich eigentlich einen Blog an, wenn ich einfach Bilder und Videos schicken kann? Warum kann ich nicht einfach meine Freunde und Familie anrufen?

Erstens gibt es eine Zeitverschiebung von 7 Stunden, so dass es schwierig wäre, einen guten Zeitpunkt zu finden, um meine Leute anzurufen. Aber der Hauptgrund, warum ich das tue, ist, dass ...

ich in den Städten, die ich besuchen will, nicht so lange an meinem Telefon hängen möchte, nur um allen Leuten zu schreiben, wie es mir geht, und ihnen immer wieder meine Bilder zu schicken. Dieser Blog ist nicht nur für mich, wenn ich in der Zukunft darauf zurückblicke, sondern auch für alle, die wissen wollen, wie es mir in diesen 3 Wochen geht! Ich möchte wirklich jeden Moment meiner Reise genießen und nicht daran denken, dass ich die Verantwortung habe, allen immer ein Update zu geben. Dies wird also mein Update-Kanal für euch sein!

Ich werde hier über meine Tage schreiben und auch die Fotos hochladen, die ich gemacht habe, damit ihr sehen könnt, was ich so gemacht habe. Seid nicht nervös, wenn es Tage gibt, an denen ich mich hier nicht melde und euch von meiner Reise schreibe, ich bin höchstwahrscheinlich draußen und genieße das Leben so viel wie nur möglich. 

Nun, ich denke, das war's für den Moment! Der nächste Blogeintrag wird wahrscheinlich direkt aus Busan kommen, bis dahin hoffe ich, dass ihr eine tolle Zeit habt und bleibt dran für meine Abenteuer in einem Land, das ich bisher nur auf Bildern und Videos gesehen habe :))

FIRST LINE TAGE GAME

Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to ao3. if you have less than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics.

tagged by @spaceprincessem you know most of these will be from the list of prompts

“Let me do this for you, okay?"

Buck had been agitated all through their shift, making it seem longer than it actually was.

2. “Please stop trying to hide them from me.”

“Please stop trying to hide them from me.” It was the first thing that Eddie said once he opened the door.

3. "I love you.” - “You do?”

Eddie wasn't eavesdropping, he wouldn't do that.

4. “I don’t want you to go.” - “Then I won’t.”

Buck had agreed to it. It was his own fault to be in a crowded bar lost in how many drinks he had already.

5. Just...hold my hand?

Buck didn’t know why, but the words just came out of his mouth as he sat on one of the benches in the locker room while tying the shoelaces of his sneakers. Eddie stood next to the locker room, already fully changed into his civil clothes and finishing putting his watch on.

6. “Please?” “Those eyes won’t work on me this time.”

“Please?” Buck tried to look tinier than he actually was, which was both ridiculous and adorable at the same time. He blinked a few times while staring, trying to make his eyes look like a kicked puppy.

7. “You’re cold.” - “Am not.”

“You are cold.”

8. Mistakes are meant to be made (But you are not one)

Things have been shifting for a while in Eddie’s life. Before, he probably would have freaked out about losing control over things he usually made sure to go the way he wanted.

9. Will you still kiss me when I am sick?

Buck was fine, he was more than perfect. He had walked into his shift feeling perfectly healthy and strong.

10. Coming in the Right Time

It had all started as a joke really.

I kept this only for my buddie fics but I was distracted and almost dropped a sterek fic in there

Okay, lets tag @triskel-samulet, @leandra-winchester, @rottenmarigolds

Music Tag Game

@mentallyinvernation taggy tagged me... I think you taged me in something else too, but it's lost in the depths of my activity feed now for all eternity... so thanks, but anyway... :P

1. First off, how would you describe yourself in one sentence?

I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems Got to open my eyes to everything - Bring Me to Life but the Jonathan Young and Lee Albrecht version

2. What kind of [Aquarius] are you?

4. If your life was a movie, what do you think the first review would say about it?

7. Think back to when you had everything all figured out in highschool. What was your life motto as a teenager?

This world's become A glass in shattered pieces -Darkness Falls - Cece and the Dark Hearts and Unsecret (yet another dark song lolol, but it's kind of accurate, I was a jaded fuck during Highschool... as if it's gotten any better lol)

8. Describe your aesthetic now

@msgeekstyle, @beauty-of-nyx, @sleepsonfutons Have fun, y'all.

#tag game #song lyrics #idk if my spotify understands what shuffle means

[herrmannhalsteadproduction]

I dont think I can pick one favorite. Instead how about a top 10 where at any given time the standings can change lol. I'll be sticking to completed main line stories (as adorable as the Mouse and Bex grocery trip was and Connor and Will's flirting and finally getting together was, they won't be here).

1. Oopsie Baby -lets start at the beginning Chris, a rousing introduction the the premise that became this series. Chris stands to be the best and the introduction of Cindy and the boys is fantastic

2. The Centre Must Hold -gotta love the angst and the family leaning on eachother through Chris's stabbing. This fic also served as an important crossroads of character development Connor and Will, Jay and every one & Bex and stress/fear. How each character handled the situation was in character and felt very real.

3. Promises Kept- coming from a military family I know the feeling of communicating via video chat and how worrying that can be, I have also seen PTSD up close. The second she answered the call and everyone looked older because of a team member passing away was well done and heart breaking.

4. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie- hey Mouse is back!! This part was wonderful it was nice seeing how Jay and Bex handled Mouse's addiction and PTSD and "its good you're here" I think he's needed to hear that for a while

5. Where There's a Will- Will makes his true appearance and upgrades from supporting cast to a lead role. We also get Handsome McBeardface's appearance and the heartbreaking Lilly scene. Connor's belief in the power of belief was one of my favorite sections in the series and really solidified how much I love him

6. There's a Way- seeing Will come into his own was great. We got to see him admit everything he had been holding onto and really get the weight off of his chest. We also had Jay confronting his younger self and his dad out of love for his brother.

7. Reckless With My Heart- we meet Beau, the Taggarts, and Ramsey. Jay and Bex have what feels like their first really big fight. Mouse get protective, Al calls Voight out in his shit, this introduction of the KitKat chat and Will being a great big brother (I mean "Bex wasn't the only kid he needed to check on")

8. Sometimes You Need- a short one with quite the impact the couples (even if they aren't together) really juxtaposed against Jay being alone painted quite a picture

9. Do Your "Grr, We're Intelligence" Thing- seeing the tages "protective jay", "protective will" and "protective connor" told me how much I'd love this part. Also Connor saying he wants his nickname on his grave had me giggling like an idiot. Again Al shining as he and Hank handle the situation

10. Will and Bex Roomies- Bex moving in with one of her big brothers and Erin leaving. Seeing the mending of Will and Bex's relationship come to fruition, hes trying to help Bex and Mouse. Bex and Mouse's flirting and obvious attraction to eachother. Finally Jay getting the comfort of his best friend and little sister (who, let's be honest, is probably his other best friend.

THIS IS AMAZING. Oh, my goodness, thank you so much @fullmoon-94. You are the loveliest person and I ADORE this. For context, this was for an ask to see what people's favourite stories are from the ones you've written. This is so cool. I love seeing the fics through other people's perspectives. All of the different reasons for your choices and the little details that you've picked out are so awesome. I especially love all of the characterization and relationship bits that YOU'RE enjoying in this list because they're ones that I really hoped people would enjoy the progression of. And thanks for including Sometimes You Need! I know that one is a bit of an outlier compared to the rest of the series, but it felt like a really important snapshot/bridge for me in terms of all our main characters and the paths they were stepping onto. THANK YOU!!! Seriously, this was so fun to read and I really appreciate you taking the time to write it all out for me. Incredibly awesome. 🥰

!!Fanfiction read flags!!

This is my option not facts. Just what I think are red flags or stuff I read once and dip bc I don’t like it. Blah blah blah, if your feelings get hurt cry about! Love y’all tho <3

This applies to wattpad and Quotev bc I frequent those ones the most. Others may apply but I don’t really know.

I read and enjoy X Readers! So some will be X Reader specific rules!

Section 1: Judging a book by its cover (and its description):

1. When it has no cover. Like I get it, I make my own and they suuuckk but come on. Try? If ya didn’t try for the cover you probably didn’t try with the book so I’m moving on. Sorry.

2. When their is no description. Negative points if it says “read to find out” or “too lazy for a description.” I DONT KNOW WHAT IM READING BC THEIRS NO DESC SO WHY WOULD I READ IT!?

2. Emojis in Description. That’s when you know it’s written on a phone and I don’t care. A bunch of great ffs were written on phone. But that screams younger person to me and no offense but only y’all would use emojis. PLUSH I HATE HOW THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE STORY?! I’ll be reading and then I’ll be a

3. When the title and desc have nothing to do with the story. Shit will be titled “ghost of you </3” or “broken promises” and have nothing to do with ghost or dead people or anything of the sort. AND have nothing to do with broken promises. Like why is it titled that way when it has nothing to do with the story??

(^ This one isn’t serious but a nitpick)

_____

Section 2: RED FLAGS! Lets go:

1. When the author uses an OC instead of Y/N. I’ve written for Y/N! Almost exclusively! It isn’t hard! And y’all will sit their and say it is. ALL WHILE TAGGING YOUR SHIT WITH Y/N? OR READER? READER INSERT, X READER? Then her name is Luna or some shit.

1.5. When the author uses an OC instead of Y/N. Back at it again but this time your SO close. Then you give her blue hair or green eyes and pale skin. YOU USE Y/N BUT YOU GIVE HER AN APPEARANCE! And your so close to being right it hurts.

3. More notes the story. I get it. You want to talk with ppl reading your books, you know it’s fun to see comments and stuff! But I didn’t come here for your life updates and stuff. Sorry but I came to read my SpongeBob x Reader not for 7 A/Ns in a row! If it isn’t related to the book, don’t add it to the book. If it is, don’t make the Authors note SEVEN DIFFERENT CHAPTERS!

4. Sigh. When the character dialogue looks like this:

(Joe: Omg! We can’t do this!

Anna: yes we can! Don’t give up!

Anna said as she jumped off the building. Joe closed his eyes and took a leap of faith after her.)

I don’t Care if it’s the best written story in the world. It could have the most moving chapters but. No. I just can’t. It’s diifrent if the characters are texting or doing something else but this isn’t it. Pls stop.

5. Emojis. Again. Okay, I just hate emojis on fanfictions. Like cool! Awesome. But come on! Even if the characters are texting it takes me out of the story.

6. Stories that haven’t been updated in FOREVER. Look at the last updated thing BEFORE YOU READ. It’s always the best fanfictions so I’d advise to not get into it if your not prepared for heartbreak when you get to the not really last chapter but last chapter.PLEASE UPDATE!

7. When the author is arguing with people on the comments. You could be right. But if leaves a bad taste in my mouth that your entertaining the trolls and didn’t just delete the comment. And if your wrong and fight with me or someone I’m on the side of? Haha I’m out, dipped.

8. I hate it when people will tag stuff just to complain about something. Like stfu I came here for bnha Not your complaint about how the omegavere is sexist and “how can anyone read this??”. Firstly, Don’t like it don’t read it. It’s simple but secound of all HOW COME ITS TAGES BHNA? LEAVE ME ALONE IM JUST TRYING TO READ MIDORYA ANGST!!

8. When someone gets pressed OVER FANFICTION LMAO! Like it’ll be a fanfiction about suicide. I get it. It’s a hard topic, I myself have struggled with it in the past. Trying to commit 5 separate times. I clicked on the fanfiction myself bc it helps sometimes. BUT THEN SOME DUMBASS WITH BE IN THE COMMENTS “this is romanticizing suicide HOW COULD YOU?”

LIKE STFU it isn’t for you! Again! Don’t like it don’t read it! It HELPS some people cope with it. Like myself!stuff like that CAN help people cope with stuff! You don’t know who’s writing it, you don’t know who’s reading it. If you can’t read it, don’t. But leave it alone. It helps, even if you don’t think so it does.

Fanfiction shit I don’t mind. (This is mostly me making fun of you now)

1. I’ve grown past spelling errors. My mind autocorrects them for me. Their apart of fanfiction! Deal with it! I’m so tired of seeing ppl complaining about it. Like if it’s really bad (like can’t understand the word bad) then fine, sure. But if it’s just something like “the vhair moved forward scratching the wooden floor below it” then move on! ONE OF YALL can call it out. But if it’s the whole comment section just know your a bit annoying.

2. Op main characters. Ima be really honest here. Y’all will hate so fast on a op main character. Screaming “Mary Sue! Mary Sue!” When the character genuinely has flaws and is interesting beyond their powers and shit. Can’t a main character just start off strong? I swear sometimes the main character is weak asf and their are still comments being like “she’s kinda op can we make her weaker?” Or some dif way of saying it. The my hero ff commenters are the worst with this. OC/Y/n could actually have “heart attack” as a weakness and the comments will still be on about how she’s too strong.

Personally I like really strong main characters, Sue me.

Okay! So that’s all for today! Obviously some things might be missing or certain pet peeves I just forgot. I tried to keep it as stuff I’ve seen other ppl complain about too and just… I don’t know. \_0_/

______END NOTES.

At the end of the day fanfiction writers are providing FREE entertainment for us. Unpaid, unappreciated, hours sat at the computer… writing… and writing… then your friend gets hit by a bus and you still have to post an update…! Anyway! Theirs doing US a favor by writing. So no hate. Thank you for providing me a source of joy! (read: JJK X READER FICS)

Thank you for writing these stories, and don’t mind my nitpicks and such. This is just here for me to get out of my system as I’ve been holding it all in for as long as I’ve been reading fan fictions. (8 years)

Expect you Fake X Reader Folks. Fuck you for tagging it that way and blocked. (Not the Y/Ns with appearances I still love you but my hair isn’t red)

THANK YOU! For coming to my Ted talk! <3

[nikkiwriteswords]

Hi! I would love to hear your thoughts/predictions/hopes for s3, now that we got the episode titles :D

Hey Nora!! Let me go grab my tua theory hat real quick. Spoiler alert, it looks exactly like the umbrella hat on the 3 right here:

Full disclosure, I've only got like a pinky toe in the tua fandom right now, but I'm still going to see what BS I can spin from these titles.

1. MEET THE FAMILY. The description on imdb is "The siblings get to know some more of the 43 children in an alternate timeline." So, I think this is pretty self-explanatory. Netflix likes to start things off with a bang, so s3 of TUA will probably be no different: we'll probably get a vague flashforward/flash-sideways to a "what if" scenario that will make sense by the last few episodes, and the rest of the episode will be sowing seeds for the s3 plot. The big question is, what family are we meeting? I think this episode will revolve around themes of family (no-brainer) and redefining the relationships between our Umbrella siblings in light of the season 2 finale, as well as their new Sparrow 'replacements'. To that end, initial Sparrow sibling parallels will be presented and subsequently complicated in this first episode. I also predict we'll see varying reactions to this alternate Reginald, as the Umbrella siblings are thrust into an outsider perspective that follows on from season 2.

2. WORLD'S BIGGEST BALL OF TWINE. This is going to be a multi-layered metaphor. I can feel it. It will no doubt refer to the plot that's about to unfold (is it an outside threat to both parties - the Umbrellas and Sparrows - from, say, the Commission, or is it more to do with the two rival Academies?), but I wonder if it also refers to the Wizard of Oz type scenario the Umbrella siblings find themselves in: they aren’t in Kansas anymore. (But you know what is in Kansas? The world's current biggest ball of twine.) Also kind of want to see Klaus knitting again in this ep - perhaps as a way to subtly re-address his ongoing addiction issues, especially now Ben is gone.

3. POCKET FULL OF LIGHTNING. This probably has to do with powers. Sparrow powers, Umbrella powers. There'll be a lot of new flexes in this season, so who this refers to is anyone's guess.

4. KUGELBLITZ. Here's where it starts to get interesting, because this title carries forward the subject of lightning from the last one. According to a very quick internet search, kugelblitz literally means "ball lightning" in German, and refers to both a) a glorified WW2 tank designed to take out aircraft (a certified Big Boi), and b) a theoretical black hole made from light/radiation rather than matter. So this is absolutely going to be a new, unseen power - probably from the Sparrows. Hopefully from Christopher because a cube executing a move named after a sphere just makes me chuckle. Ah, fun with shapes... But in addition, this power is probably going to pack a huge, debilitating punch to whatever narrative is underway at this point in the plot. I'll bet money that whoever wields this power is the tank character in their party or they are after this at least.

5. KINDEST CUT. This throws me back to the barber shop meta, I'm not gunna lie. Someone's going to get hurt, either physically or emotionally, and it's going to be the lesser of two evils. If it's a follow through on the barber metaphor, then Reggie will be the one to orchestrate it. Or, in a surprise twist, will he be the one gTetting hurt or being silenced? (Remember that cutthroat allegory that chases the siblings through the first season, particularly Allison and Klaus. It was about becoming voiceless.) 6.MARIGOLD. Big shout out to this post for spreading the word on the marigold symbolism. I'm pretty sure this will be Reginald backstory, which ties in with the creation of the Umbrella Academy. Also, because I'm a sucker for flower symbolism and reading into things, consider that marigolds:

a) fall into two families, the calendula which means "little clock" and the tagetes, which is named after the Etruscan prophet Tages. The Etruscans believed heavily in predestination - some events are set in stone, and cannot be changed. (Consider the way the apocalypse seems to always come for one set of siblings...) b) are named as such colloquially because they were offered in place of money to the Virgin Mary. (More divine imagery, and reference to a pure mother figure...) They are Mary’s gold. So maybe it’s a reference to Reginald’s wife, which would fit with the flashback scene we see in 1x10.  c) are a flower of duality. They have strong connections with the sun and resurrection, yet the marigold is thought to be a flower of grief because it blooms in autumn. Again, think about that flashback in the first season. At the end of the world and a wife dying, there was the promise of rebirth. d) It's also a very common flower. Remember, there's actually 43 siblings out there. We've only met 14.

Also Netflix loves to do this thing around the halfway point (usually episode 5/6) in a season they're producing. They'll switch up the narrative with a twist or turn that provides a new perspective. 7.AUF WEIDERSEHEN. Once again, a German connection. And, obviously, a goodbye. Considering the last season focused on Kennedy, are we going to get some earlier Cold War time-travel shenanigans? Or maybe WW2? I think Blackman has said something about the Berlin Wall, which is interesting. A country divided... Umbrellas and Sparrows allegory? But as an aside, I'm also kinda lowkey hoping it's a nod to Auf Weidersehen, Pet. If you don't know the show, here's the wiki summary for the first season:

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is a British comedy-drama television programme about seven British construction workers who leave the United Kingdom to search for employment overseas. They find work on a German building site in Düsseldorf but despite promises of hostel accommodation, are forced to live in a small hut that reminds them of a World War II POW camp. The rest of the series is driven by the interactions and growing friendships between the various characters.

In episode seven, three of the “Magnificent Seven” visit an intercontinental hotel. Just saying. If s3 was to go this route, my money would be on Luther, Diego and Five getting up to shenanigans in this one. I miss 125 shenanigans.😢

8.WEDDING AT THE END OF THE WORLD. Honestly, I’m holding out hope that one of our fave siblings gets married. I feel like that’s a trap though... Actually I feel like it might actually be a trap. As in, this is when the rising action really kicks it up a notch. But also remember the title of 1x01: We Only See Each Other At Weddings and Funerals. Maybe the siblings get split up, possibly in episode 3/4, and they’re trying to reunite through episodes 5-7. Also thinking about hotels and apocalypses...  There’s something very fatalistic about these titles so far. I have a feeling that the B-plot or the subtext is going to reveal a lot more about Reginald’s history and the destruction of his world.

9. SIX BELLS. This makes me think of church bells, which is some nice continuity with the wedding of the last title. But church bells are rung for all sorts of reasons - as a call to worship, or in celebration or mourning, or to tell the time. (Thinking back to those marigolds suddenly.) But why six? Now I’m thinking of bell ringing (change ringing), and the way different bells have different cord lengths to control the time of their chimes. It’s a highly mathematical process. Will this episode be Five’s time to shine? Will he coordinate his siblings through a large attack? 10. OBLIVION. Does anything even need to be said about this one? Hotel Oblivion baby ✌✌ Any further theorising would require more knowledge of the coming plot tbh.

Edit: I wrote most of this at 2am, so I’ve just tidied it up a little. Thank you for the ask, Nora! This was fun to think about.

Welcome the 2021 (7th) Cate Blanchett Birthday Project!

Every year, for the past 7 years I’m trying to collaborate Cate Blanchett fans together in order to make something special for her birthday. And I am super excited to say that we have made 6 successful birthday projects together which has ALL arrived to Cate.

Cate Blanchett has influenced me and many more people through the years and this project is my way to say: Thank You. This year the project will surround CELEBRATING OURSELVES. 

Cate is a huge inspiration for all of us. She believes in celebrating ourselves as WHO WE ARE. If it’s as a woman, as a man, as a queer, as whoever we want to be, and this project is about that. It’s about being ourselves and celebrating us as who we are, because that’s where our true power lies. 

This year we will create a fan cover for the ultimate Cate song “You Don’t Own Me” This is how it will work:

The amazing Maya has created an amazing piano cover for us. It is right here.

I want you to listen to the cover and sing the song! If you’re not sure, you can listen to Erich’s great intro here.

Then videotape yourself covering the song. You can create two different videos of Audio & a video OR make it in one. It doesn’t really matter

The most important thing here is that the Audio needs to be AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. Meaning: I want to hear your singing voice only! The playback will be in your headphones but not for me to hear it.  

If you are a dancer or a performer this section is to you: You can dance/ perform to the piano cover and I will add that to our clip.

Some things to get out of the way:

I’m not singer and I’m not expecting you to be ones. It’s just you making something fun for Cate! :)

The song is not very difficult, so if there are certain parts you feel you are better at, feel free to sing only them. Anyways, I promise I’ll edit it the way we will hear your BEST parts

This is also the first time I’m doing something like that, so be supportive and have fun!

How does it work?

Send an email with your Name, Age & Country

Mention in the email if you joined any of the past projects and if yes mention the year

Send your Audio & video as one / two files

Make sure we hear only your singing voice in the recording (and not the piano cover. A great way to do that is to put headphones on and listen to the piano over there)

Rules:

Keep an appropriate language

Letting you know the project will be released ONLINE

Deadline

All projects should arrive until APRIL 15TH, 2021. Send them all to the following address: [email protected] (the same one from past years) If you have any questions you can ask me here on the  ask box / twitter / email .

Taking part in the project this year + special thanks: Cate Blanchett Daily, Queen Cate, Cate Blanchett Fan, Erich, Abbey and Maya.

FAQs

Who can participate the project? - Everyone who wants to.

Can I send a picture of myself with a happy birthday poster? You can include that. but it can’t be instead of the project itself.

Can you guarantee Cate will receive the book? - sadly not, but we will try our best to make this work.

Our work at the past years:

2015 – A birthday video by fans - 24 participants 2016 – A birthday book – 138 participants 2017 – A birthday collage – 43 participants 2018 - The art as we see it -  40 participants 2019 – The big 50: A fan video – 61 participants 2020 - A motivation book - 42 participants

Please reblog this post so more people will be aware of our project The project Twitter/Tumblr tages: CBBP / CBBP21

Richard Siken - You Are Jeff

1 There are two twins on motorbikes but one is farther up the road, beyond the hairpin turn, or just before it, depending on which twin you are in love with at the time. Do not choose sides yet. It is still to your advan- tage to remain impartial. Both motorbikes are shiny red and both boys have perfect teeth, dark hair, soft hands. The one in front will want to take you apart, and slowly. His deft and stubby fingers searching every shank and lock for weaknesses. You could love this boy with all your heart. The other brother only wants to stitch you back together. The sun shines down. It’s a beautiful day. Consider the hairpin turn. Do not choose sides yet.

2 There are two twins on motorbikes but one is farther up the road. Let’s call them Jeff. And because the first Jeff is in front we’ll consider him the older, and therefore responsible for lending money and the occa- sional punch in the shoulder. World-wise, world-weary, and not his mother’s favorite, this Jeff will always win when it all comes down to fisticuffs. Unfortunately for him, it doesn’t always all come down to fisticuffs. Jeff is thinking about his brother down the winding road be- hind him. He is thinking that if only he could cut him open and peel him back and crawl inside this second skin, then he could relive that last mile again: reborn, wild-eyed, free.

3 There are two twins on motorbikes but one is farther up the road, beyond the hairpin turn, or just before it, depending on which Jeff you are. It could have been so beautiful—you scout out the road ahead and I will watch your back, how it was and how it will be, memory and fantasy— but each Jeff wants to be the other one. My name is Jeff and I’m tired of looking at the back of your head. My name is Jeff and I’m tired of seeing my hand me down clothes. Look, Jeff, I’m telling you, for the last time, I mean it, etcetera. They are the same and they are not the same. They are the same and they hate each other for it.

4 Your name is Jeff and somewhere up ahead of you your brother has pulled to the side of the road and he is waiting for you with a lug wrench clutched in his greasy fist. O how he loves you, darling boy. O how, like always, he invents the monsters underneath the bed to get you to sleep next to him, chest to chest or chest to back, the covers drawn around you in an act of faith against the night. When he throws the wrench into the air it will catch the light as it spins toward you. Look—it looks like a star. You had expected something else, anything else, but the wrench never reaches you. It hangs in the air like that, spinning in the air like that. It’s beautiful.

5 Let’s say God in his High Heaven is hungry and has decided to make himself some tuna fish sandwiches. He’s already finished making two of them, on sourdough, before he realizes that the fish is bad. What is he going to do with these sandwiches? They’re already made, but he doesn’t want to eat them.

Let’s say the Devil is played by two men. We’ll call them Jeff. Dark hair, green eyes, white teeth, pink tongues—they’re twins. The one on the left has gone bad in the middle, and the other one on the left is about to. As they wrestle, you can tell that they have forgotten about God, and they are very hungry.

6 You are playing cards with three men named Jeff. Two of the Jeffs seem somewhat familiar, but the Jeff across from you keeps staring at your hands, your mouth, and you’re certain that you’ve never seen this Jeff before. But he’s on your team, and you’re ahead, you’re winning big, and yet the other Jeffs keep smiling at you like there’s no tomorrow. They all have perfect teeth: white, square, clean, even. And, for some reason, the lighting in the room makes their teeth seem closer than they should be, as if each mouth was a place, a living room with pink carpet and the window’s open. Come back from the window, Jefferson. Take off those wet clothes and come over here, by the fire.

7 You are playing cards with three Jeffs. One is your father, one is your brother, and the other is your current boyfriend. All of them have seen you naked and heard you talking in your sleep. Your boyfriend Jeff gets up to answer the phone. To them he is a mirror, but to you he is a room. Phone’s for you, Jeff says. Hey! It’s Uncle Jeff, who isn’t really your uncle, but you can’t talk right now, one of the Jeffs has put his tongue in your mouth. Please let it be the right one.

8 Two brothers are fighting by the side of the road. Two motorbikes have fallen over on the shoulder, leaking oil into the dirt, while the interlocking brothers grapple and swing. You see them through the backseat window as you and your parents drive past. You are twelve years old. You do not have a brother. You have never experienced anything this ferocious or intentional with another person. Your mother is pretending that she hasn’t seen anything. Your father is fiddling with the knobs of the radio. There is an empty space next to you in the backseat of the station wagon. Make it the shape of everything you need. Now say hello.

9 You are in an ordinary suburban bedroom with bunk beds, a bookshelf, two wooden desks and chairs. You are lying on your back, on the top bunk, very close to the textured ceiling, staring straight at it in fact, and the room is still dark except for a wedge of powdery light that spills in from the adjoining bathroom. The bathroom is covered in mint green tile and someone is in there, singing very softly. Is he singing to you? For you? Black cherries in chocolate, the ring around the moon, a bee- tle underneath a glass—you cannot make out all the words, but you’re sure he knows you’re in there, and he’s singing to you, even though you don’t know who he is.

10 You see it as a room, a tabernacle, the dark hotel. You’re in the hallway again, and you open the door, and if you’re ready you’ll see it, but maybe one part of your mind decides that the other parts aren’t ready, and then you don’t remember where you’ve been, and you find yourself down the hall again, the lights gone dim as the left hand sings the right hand back to sleep. It’s a puzzle: each piece, each room, each time you put your hand to the knob, your mouth to the hand, your ear to the wound that whispers.

You’re in the hallway again. The radio is playing your favorite song. You’re in the hallway. Open the door again. Open the door.

11 Suppose for a moment that the heart has two heads, that the heart has been chained and dunked in a glass booth filled with river water. The heart is monologing about hesitation and fulfillment while behind the red brocade the heart is drowning. Can the heart escape? Does love even care? Snow falls as we dump the booth in the bay.

Suppose for a moment we are crowded around a pier, waiting for something to ripple the water. We believe in you. There is no danger. It is not getting dark, we want to say.

12 Consider the hairpin turn. It is waiting for you like a red door or the broken leg of a dog. The sun is shining, O how the sun shines down! Your speedometer and your handgrips and the feel of the road below you, how it knows you, the black ribbon spread out on the greens be- tween these lines that suddenly don’t reach to the horizon. It is waiting, like a broken door, like the red dog that chases its tail and eats your rose- bushes and then must be forgiven. Who do you love, Jeff? Who do you love? You were driving toward something and then, well, then you found yourself driving the other way. The dog is asleep. The road is be- hind you. O how the sun shines down.

13 This time everyone has the best intentions. You have cancer. Let’s say you have cancer. Let’s say you’ve swallowed a bad thing and now it’s got its hands inside you. This is the essence of love and failure. You see what I mean but you’re happy anyway, and that’s okay, it’s a love story after all, a lasting love, a wonderful adventure with lots of action, where the mirror says mirror and the hand says hand and the front door never says Sorry Charlie. So the doctor says you need more stitches and the bruise cream isn’t working. So much for the facts. Let’s say you’re still completely in the dark but we love you anyway. We love you. We really do.

14 After work you go to the grocery store to get some milk and a carton of cigarettes. Where did you get those bruises? You don’t remember. Work was boring. You find a jar of bruise cream and a can of stewed tomatoes. Maybe a salad? Spinach, walnuts, blue cheese, apples, and you can’t decide between the Extra Large or Jumbo black olives. Which is bigger anyway? Extra Large has a blue label, Jumbo has a purple label. Both cans cost $1.29. While you’re deciding, the afternoon light is streaming through the windows behind the bank of checkout coun- ters. Take the light inside you like a blessing, like a knee in the chest, holding onto it and not letting it go. Now let it go.

15 Like sandpaper, the light, or a blessing, or a bruise. Blood everywhere, he said, the red light hemorrhaging from everywhere at once. The train station blue, your lips blue, hands cold and the blue wind. Or a horse, your favorite horse now raised up again out of the mud and galloping galloping always toward you. In your ruined shirt, on the last day, while the bruise won’t heal, and the stain stays put, the red light streaming in from everywhere at once. Your broken ribs, the back of your head, your hand to mouth or hand to now, right now, like you mean it, like it’s split- ting you in two. Now look at the lights, the lights.

16 You and your lover are making out in the corner booth of a seedy bar. The booths are plush and the drinks are cheap and in this dim and smoky light you can barely tell whose hands are whose. Someone raises their glass for a toast. Is that the Hand of Judgment or the Hand of Mercy? The bartender smiles, running a rag across the burnished wood of the bar. The drink in front of you has already been paid for. Drink it, the bartender says. It’s yours, you deserve it. It’s already been paid for. Somebody’s paid for it already. There’s no mistake, he says. It’s your drink, the one you asked for, just the way you like it. How can you refuse Hands of fire, hands of air, hands of water, hands of dirt. Someone’s doing all the talking but no one’s lips move. Consider the hairpin turn.

17 The motorbikes are neck and neck but where’s the checkered flag we all expected, waving in the distance, telling you you’re home again, home? He’s next to you, right next to you in fact, so close, or. . . he isn’t. Imagine a room. Yes, imagine a room: two chairs facing the window but nobody moves. Don’t move. Keep staring straight into my eyes. It feels like you’re not moving, the way when, dancing, the room will suddenly fall away. You’re dancing: you’re neck and neck or cheek to cheek, he’s there or he isn’t, the open road. Imagine a room. Imagine you’re danc- ing. Imagine the room now falling away. Don’t move.

18 Two brothers: one of them wants to take you apart. Two brothers: one of them wants to put you back together. It’s time to choose sides now. The stitches or the devouring mouth? You want an alibi? You don’t get an alibi, you get two brothers. Here are two Jeffs. Pick one. This is how you make the meaning, you take two things and try to define the space between them. Jeff or Jeff? Who do you want to be? You just wanted to play in your own backyard, but you don’t know where your own yard is, exactly. You just wanted to prove there was one safe place, just one safe place where you could love him. You have not found that place yet. You have not made that place yet. You are here. You are here. You’re still right here.

19 Here are your names and here is the list and here are the things you left behind: The mark on the floor from pushing your chair back, your un- derwear, one half brick of cheese, the kind I don’t like, wrapped up, and poorly, and abandoned on the second shelf next to the poppyseed dress- ing, which is also yours. Here’s the champagne on the floor, and here are your house keys, and here are the curtains that your cat peed on. And here is your cat, who keeps eating grass and vomiting in the hall- way. Here is the list with all of your names, Jeff. They’re not the same name, Jeff. They’re not the same at all.

20 There are two twins on motorbikes but they are not on motorbikes, they’re in a garden where the flowers are as big as thumbs. Imagine you are in a field of daisies. What are you doing in a field of daisies? Get up! Let’s say you’re not in the field anymore. Let’s say they’re not brothers anymore. That’s right, they’re not brothers, they’re just one guy, and he knows you, and he’s talking to you, but you’re in pain and you can- not understand him. What are you still doing in this field? Get out of the field! You should be in the hotel room! You should, at least, be try- ing to get back into the hotel room. Ah! Now the field is empty.

21 Hold onto your voice. Hold onto your breath. Don’t make a noise, don’t leave the room until I come back from the dead for you. I will come back from the dead for you. This could be a city. This could be a graveyard. This could be the basket of a big balloon. Leave the lights on. Leave a trail of letters like those little knots of bread we used to dream about. We used to dream about them. We used to do a lot of things. Put your hand to the knob, your mouth to the hand, pick up the bread and devour it. I’m in the hallway again, I’m in the hallway. The radio’s playing my favorite song. Leave the lights on. Keep talking. I’ll keep walking toward the sound of your voice.

22 Someone had a party while you were sleeping but you weren’t really sleeping, you were sick, and parts of you were burning, and you couldn’t move. Perhaps the party was in your honor. You can’t remem- ber. It seems the phone was ringing in the dream you were having but there’s no proof. A dish in the sink that might be yours, some clothes on the floor that might belong to someone else. When was the last time you found yourself looking out of this window. Hey! This is a beautiful window! This is a beautiful view! Those trees lined up like that, and the way the stars are spinning over them like that, spinning in the air like that, like wrenches.

23 Let’s say that God is the space between two men and the Devil is the space between two men. Here: I’ll be all of them-Jeff and Jeff and Jeff and Jeff are standing on the shoulder of the highway, four motorbikes knocked over, two wrenches spinning in the ordinary air. Two of these Jeffs are windows, and two of these Jeffs are doors, and all of these Jeffs are trying to tell you something. Come closer. We’ll whisper it in your ear. It’s like seeing your face in a bowl of soup, cream of potato, and the eyes shining back like spoons. If we wanted to tell you everything, we would leave more footprints in the snow or kiss you harder. One thing. Come closer. Listen . . .

24 You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terr- ible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you don’t even have a name for.

Marwitz letters translations, part 3

Printed in the biography of Prince Henry of Prussia by Eva Ziebura, otherwise unpublished. The omission is as in the book. Translation mine (thanks to @kattestrophe for proofreading!).

Another charming one.

7. März 1746

Es gibt nichts Bewundernswerteres als ihre Treue. Seit Pharamon und Rosamunde, Cyrus and Mandone, Pierre de Provence und der schönen Madlone (...) hat man sowas noch nicht gesehen. Wenn Sie es mir erlauben, schreibe ich einen herrlichen Roman mit dem Titel: ‘Treue Liebe. Henri und der schöne Marwitz’, und der wäre so fein, so zärtlich, so gefühlvoll und so sinnlich, dass er unserer Jugend zum Vorbild dienen könnte. Ich würde den tripperkranken Marwitz in so lieblichen Farben malen, ich würde ihm allen Geist zuschreiben, den er selbst zu haben glaubt, und ich würde vor allem, soweit mir das möglich ist, alle seinen affektierten Zierereien schildern, mit denen er schweigend den andern zu sagen scheint: “Schaut mich an, bin ich nicht ein hübscher Junge? Muss man mich nicht lieben, anbeten und verehren? Was, du kleiner Schelm, du widersetz dich? Dein Herz liegt mir noch nicht zu Füßen? Und du, mein Engel, dir bleibt nichts weiter übrig als vor Liebe zu sterben.” Danach muss ich die Einzelheiten seiner Figur beschrieben, den Charme seiner fetten Schultern, seinen scheinbar schweren, aber im Grunde verführerischen Gang – in einem Wort – ich kann nicht mehr sagen, sonst wird mein Roman noch von einem anderen geschrieben. Ich empfehle Ihnen, mein lieber Henri, immer gut zu essen, gut zu trinken und gut zu schlafen. Lassen Sie die alten Romanhelden fasten und sammeln sie Kräfte, um den Schwanz Ihres Romans hier wieder zu finden. Bleiben Sie noch ein paar Tage in Berlin und lassen Sie meiner Zärtlichkeit Gerechtigkeit widerfahren.

March 7 1746

There is nothing more admirable than your faithfulness. Since Pharamond and Rosamunde, Cyrus and Mandone, Pierre de la Provence and the beautiful Maguelonne (...) has one not seen the like. If you permit me, I shall write a marvellous novel with the title ‘Faithful love. Henri and the beautiful Marwitz’, and it would be so fine, so tender, so full of feeling and so sensual, that it could serve as an example to our youth. I would paint the gonnorheic Marwitz in such loving colours, I would ascribe to him all the wit he thinks he posesses, and I would, most of all, as much as I can, portray all his affected foppery, with which he silently appears to say: “Look at me, am I not a pretty boy? Must one not love, worship, and admire me? What, you little rascal, you resist? Does your heart not lie at my feet yet? And you, my angel, you have no other choice but to die of love.” Then I must describe the details of his figure, the charms of his fat shoulders, his seemingly heavy but fundamentally seductive gait – in a word – I can say no more, otherwise my novel would be written by someone else. I recommend you, my dear Henri, to always eat well, drink well, and sleep well. Let the old protagonists fast and gather your strength to find the tail* of your novel here again. Stay in Berlin for a few more days and do my affection justice.

* tail perhaps being an euphemism for penis

#Fritz at his bitchiest is my favourite #Hohenzollern mean girls #i'm enjoying translating SO MUCH holy shit #we'd really need the French original to see if tail means what i think it means but oh well #i think there's one more #Frederick the Great #Prince Henry of Prussia #Marwitz #Marwitz letters #my translation
