Tumblr media
Oh look, it's my fans back again 🙄😮‍💨
I actually resent having to explain myself because it's literally none of their fucking business, but obviously people are using a single like to make blanket statements about my entire character. People who don't even fucking know me are acting like they know me better than I know myself.
Yeah, resentment is up there.
Tumblr media
So this is the original bit between Nojima and this angy horizon fan. Yeah, Horizon, not FF. They're not in the fandom, not a shipper, and their twts and replies stick to gaming.
Weirdly enough, people outside of the shipping community like FF and have opinions about the game and characters, and that includes Tifa.
Tumblr media
Idky I have to break down my actions, but these are the two replies I made on the subject after the fact. I only saw the final reply because twitter is shit. Taking that into account, my opinion is that Nojima handled it, so people getting angry were going overboard, but also it wasn't okay for that person to go off at Nojima in the first place. There's ways to bring up the subject without insulting him, although he did reply, so you see it's not black/white. All in all I think everybody else should've stayed out of it. Nojima's not a baby.
Tumblr media
The part I liked was to do with this sentence. Just this sentence. Weirdly enough twitter doesn't let you isolate parts of tweets. Crazy, right? So you either like the whole thing or you don't.
From my pov this came across as someone kinda angry but respectful. More importantly, Nojima replied to them more than once. He's having a conversation with them, which I found very decent of him considering this person isn't owed a response and usually Nojima doesn't give them one.
With that in mind, and the fact Nojima's literally 59 years old, a grown ass man and can handle a bit of aggro and has stated in the past that while he appreciates all the "protection" he can manage because he's literally a 59 year old grown ass man and doesn't need constant babying, I decided this was a civil thing and moved on. Everybody else decided Nojima should be bubble wrapped and went on the attack, called in the protection squad for Nojima's "safety" and then the asshole cleriths and Jairus did what they do best which is make alts and use them to make people think things that didn't happen.
Ftr while I think there are times it's nice to voice support to Nojima, especially when he seems insecure about his work, it's not okay to dogpile people and do to them what they did to him, only worse because there's hundreds of you and only one of them, no matter how nasty they've been. Y'all ain't better because you're defending Nojima. And he's still almost 60 years old and knows how to use mute/block. Stop infantalising him.
It doesn't help the stink of oppression about the fandom. People can't express their feelings unless they're stepford wife gurning with glee. They can't say or do anything without approval from some fat head who thinks they're fandom mom, wagging their finger and telling people to shut up because they don't like what you're saying. Harassing the devs isn't okay. Ever. But it's also not okay to act like the fandom is a police state.
And I'll express myself how I want. If people think they know me from a like, they're fucking idiots. Although the cult are always idiots, so 🤷

Would any of the Danganronpa characters believe in the complex geopolitical topic of climate change?
(Sorry, you've triggered a lengthy response.)
Is it complex, though? I mean... okay, YES, it's "complex" in that it's difficult to briefly explain the fine details to a layperson. I absolutely get that. But it's not like there's much disagreement from the scientific community on the points that (a) yes, the climate is changing more rapidly than it naturally should and (b) yes, human activity is the cause of this shift. Scientific consensus on those points sits averages 98.7-100% — and you ain't gonna find that much agreement on almost anything else.
At this point, the only complexity remaining is that human beings don't want to radically change how we live to help prevent an eventual crisis, because change is haaaaard. And more importantly, because change is expensive. For that latter reason, the billionaires and corporate conglomerates who so effectively manipulate govermental decisions via our conservative parties find it in their best interests to just keep doing what they're already doing (i.e., gradually fucking the climate up beyond repair) so they don't have to spend a bunch of money to shift processes. As human beings, we consistently care about what we can do/have right now at the expense of how we'll pay for it later, and we also historically don't give a shit about anything that will affect the people left behind after we're gone (bc like, "I'M not gonna be here for that"), so... yeah, this is just par for the course.
SO! With that depressing preamble out of the way, I tend to assume that MOST people believe in climate change because that's the logical default. ............................. And I acknowledge that assuming people are logical is probably giving people too much credit, but shit, this is how my brain works. I have my own biases, clearly! And I'm biased towards "people should/need to think logically." Hence me assuming as such.
The real question then becomes: Who among the DR cast would engage in pseudoscientific Climate Change Denialism?
Akane is definitely the kind of person who would be like "It's SNOWING outside, so clearly the Earth CAN'T be warming! Lookit how cold this crap is!" She's too simple-minded to grasp the larger science at work. Sorry, girl — your shit dumb.
I can see Kazuichi sort of casually dismissing it and not looking into it. He doesn't WANT to be educated on the topic; he loves combustion engines and oil and shit too much to actually learn about this stuff. It'd be like a willful ignorance on his part more than an active denialism. Still... if he was forced to confront the issue, I wager he might actually enjoy working to reduce his emission output.
Haiji Towa? Raised to be a doubter/denier. His dad's all about the money from manufacturing, so it's in his best interest to instill in his potential heirs a total lack of concern about the climate.
People who would pay so little attention to the topic that they'd mistakenly believe the buzz that there's "No clear consensus" or "Nobody really knows" include: Mondo Owada, Hiyoko Saionji, Masaru Daimon, Tenko Chabashira
Juzo only believes in/cares about the reality of Climate Change because Munakata believes in and cares about it. Without Munakata's influence, Sakakura would never have had an opinion. :P
Ruruka Andou's opinion - if she has one - will forever be unknown because of how intensely the subject bores her. If a conversation around her veers into the realm of Climate Change, she swiftly diverts attention away from it because she doesn't care.
Kokichi sometimes pretends to be a Climate Change Denier to get a rise out of Miu, but he's just trolling. :P
Angie be like "Pollution is minimal on my island, so we don't worry about such things! But even if nature did fall out of balance, Atua would surely protect us in exchange for a small blood sacrifice!"
FINALLY: Despite Togami being the heir to a multinational corporate conglomerate (and disregarding that conglomerate's evident collapse during the tragedy), I actually DON'T think he'd be a denier. He's far too coldly logical (usually) to go for that. Instead, he'd be on the front lines of the shift, finding ways to gain ridiculous profit off the shift to new technologies/energy sources.

i need more of ur anzu x idol rambles PLZ theyre so good if i cld inject it to my brain i wld do so /pos
*cracks knuckles* how much time do we have? I could do this all damn day t b h.
okay here's a random thing i love about anzu- not entirely related to this but still: EVERYONE KNOWS CANONICALLY HOW DAMN THIRSTY SHE IS TO SEE GUYS WHO ARE BARELY CLOTHED WITH MUSCLES. slight spoilers for madara's fs1 story will be in the tags so tread lightly if you wanna experience that yourself. just- she has a clear type in men. at least as far as physicality goes.
and for women??? SUZU. ARASHI. SHE LOVES HEADSTRONG WOMEN WHO TAKE NO SHIT.
ANYWAY SHIPS
This is gonna get long so im putting it under cut- im doing this right before i go to bed bc my brain will not rest until i get this out of my system
Okay. I know which ships I'll end up rambling about on my own. So lemme highlight ones that i may not talk about as much but love still. idk if u wanted to hear horny rambles or not so im just throwing in first time stuff as flavour.
MakoAnzu
MAKOTO AND ANZU ARE THE CUTEST. EPIC GAMER LOSER BF AND GIRLBOSS/GIRLFAIL GF COMBO. idk if it makes sense but they're like. hs sweethearts that never actually got together in hs and only realized it later when they reconnect or something that they're so totally in love. also he's just so damn goofy it balances out her more serious side that took over after her failed rebellion attempt at kimisaki. like he'd start calling her his favourite trouble maker if he heard that story. OOOOUUU MAYBE HE'D EVEN START CALLING HER ANGIE AND SHE NEARLY CRIES BC NO ONE CALLS HER THAT ANYMORE BESIDES HER BROTHER. idk they're sweet.
the first time they do it together, they're both so awkward that it's funny but they're so comfy with each other that it isn't a problem. in my mind, mako tries to lead at first but when it gets too hot and heavy, anzu takes charge. they seem like the most realistic couple out there with the least amount of angst~
JunAnzu
okay now to talk about Makoto's gaming buddy with her instead HFDSF. i feel like this anzu ship is a lil underrated. i personally love it. he has canonically given in to her like 🥺 face. they're relationship is basically jun teasing her and anzu pouting until he feels bad and it's cute. moon and sun vibe. also. jun is in eden/eve. he has money he's not spendin on himself. he may not give the most lavish gifts or even the most gifts in terms of anzu ships, but he does buy her little trinkets and stuff. more often than not though he's just paying for her meals. even with gatekeeper cash and the anzu fund made in the graduation story, he's not letting her spend a cent if she doesn't have to. if questioned he'd just be like "Haaah? Ain't it rude to make the lady pay?" but in reality he just wants to spoil her. the entirety of trickstar is gonna start questioning her though if they notice they're getting close. And i bet ibara is going to investigate why half of eve is meddling with the competition's producer.
their first time is spontaneous. they never talked before hand about it or whatever. it probably was them destressing from a hard day at work. PERSONALLY- i think they did it in the ES gym~ and god anzu was so scared theyd get caught. BOTH of them know Ibara goes down to the gym after work but luckily a meeting ran long or something because by the time they were done and dressed, they could just pass it off as training when ibara walked in.
HiMEAnzu
okay this is definitely a rare one- but a ship ive grown fond of the more i thought about it. meru and anzu are both work oriented, but still a little silly deep down. so when they relax and get to know each other, they find the others presence so calming. he admires her for her work ethic and she does the same. god im pulling out the first idol story interactions with this one as well- he let his guard down near completely when they first meet. and he says something like "like attracts like" or something like they're kindred spirits and that he's fallen for her. that last part was probs just his attempt at joking fanservice, but he is aware that he could easily pull anyone he wants to. for anzu to just talk normally with him, he thinks it's refreshing and honestly- being in a unit like crazyb, he would want someone calm like her to be around.
here's the big catch though: meru would never risk kaname's idol image by dating ANYONE. let alone the person known as "everyones producer." so this ship is BUILT for "at arms length" pining/"we'll never know what could've been" angst
their first time is the most planned out of all three of these ships. not on anzu's side, but himerus. meru is really meticulous with his image and he respects anzu. so if he's going to do something with her, he's going to do it right and make sure they have the most privacy possible. it's def something that happens after a VERY romantic date. possibly an anniversary. he gets incredibly intimate. maybe he'd even start talking in first person. this is, after all, not a performance for anyone. he just wants to share this moment with anzu. that being said they go on for a long ass time because meru has stamina and anzu can get insatiable if teased long enough.

🌟- For a secret wish or desire of theirs ( & For Cherri :3 )
| Force My Muse to Spill Their Secrets
Cherri had to say when it came to living in hell it was a blast. Free to do as you wish? Who could pass up on that? Running around causing havoc just because eit was a Tuesday and she felt a little extra spontaneous and had a few extra bombs she was just itching to get to tossing. Course her favorite was when she got to cause trouble with her best friend Angel Dust. So many people in hell could be so ducking lame but not Angel, and he had been in hell far longer than herself. Where so many were old and stuffy blaming it on when they died and couldn’t change their ways Angel was a blast, pun intended there, to hang out with. She thought as the two of of them had drove behind a car listening to the sound of glass shattering. After the explosion from one of her bombs had gone off. She looked overt watch the Spider demon laugh away second eat of arms were slung around their sides as they were just near about ready to bust a gut.
But as soon as the fun had started it came to an end.
—————-
Walking through Pentagram city once they had given the slip to the loser shop owner whose place they had just finished blowing t bits, hey that’s what they got for trying to talk trash about the strips on angel’s outfit or Cherri’s torn-on-purpose style. Some people just seemed to think that had a say on what others wore, eh guy is just jealous they couldn’t pull of these trends clearly. When Cherri finally noticed the look on Angel's face as they had their face buried in the screen of thier phone. "You okay there Anges?" Cherri went to ask as they shoved the phone back into thier pocket watching how the look on thier face changed like a flick of light. They crossed thier topped arms and well Cherri knew from the look alone it was Val who messaged them just now. She reached out a hand and gingerly set it on to her friend's arm. "Hey just blow 'em off we can go cause more trouble? I know some goons trying mess'n with my turf." She knew better though soon as Angel went to give some dumb spill about how he should go in tonight at least he'd been blowing work off a lot.
Sure Cherri could try and talk them out of it, drag him away maybe even but she knew how this would go. As the familiar limo pulled up despite the smile on Angel's face as he climb in. She could feel a pit in her stomach. But waved them off and watched the car pull away.
"Oh Angie" Cherri said under her breath as she lifted her hand to her moth and chewed on her nail. "If it weren't for that fuckers status then maybe I could help ya more..If i could just become one of em? then maybe I'll be able to get you away from him finally."
Maybe it was a foolish thing to wish for but she knew better than most what angel dealt with being with that stupid moth, Valentino. She dropped her hands down and started to check to see how many bombs she still had on her. Enough to get by for now. "I ain't got much of turf, not yet at least Angie but I tussled with an overlord already once before. I can take on more soon once I got enough ground under my name. I'll get you away from him we can..we can ran it together laugh and cause as much trouble all we want."

uh. been a minute. super kids playing dodgeball. bnha s3e17-21
who is this kid with the teeth they keep showing in the intro
oh yeah, the Ninja Clan Hidden in the Teletubby House 'XD -- "Team TeleNinja is blasting off again!"
Not much to say about Momo outsmarting Princess Mind Palace. yeah. that was things, that was cool
if this weirdo with the hat turns people into blobs but those blobs somehow don't have the targets on them any more… how exactly does he win?
blinks …that was a whole episode, huh. welp, next
I keep expecting the first beats of the last OP. this one ain't bad either, tho.
oh, everybody has six pokeballs each. thought they only had three for some reason.
"If I were given eight hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the first six sharpening my axe." Knowing me, I'd spend the first seven and a half doing fuckall and then cut my own arm off trying to use a rented chainsaw.
you with the hat. why haven't you just passed the flippin test already? assuming you can un-blob people, and kirishima hasn't just been killed off out of nowhere, how far up your own ass do you have to be to not just un-blob a couple people and take your license? presumably, they're more than a little discombobulated when they come out of it, so they should be easy pickings.
It's time… to D-D-D-D-DANCE! (idk I couldn't think of any other D words to do with being zapped)
okay, and I guess laserguts is sending up this beacon for… some kind of reason?
and nobody wanted to tell kota that that mask makes him look like howard the duck.
"yay, I can take a nap now!" -- oh. there's still another test left. of course.
huh. Cousin Itt's polite.
"we know it's a rescue training mission, but we gotta give bakugo something to do or we'd have to fail him"
…a filler episode in the middle of what's sort of a filler arc? -- all might with regular eyes still weirds me tf out
so, it's a recap of the movie? or a prequel to the movie, or, something
…what is this sposed to be and why is it here
still can't get over how much all might's villain costume makes him look like caiman from dorohedoro
why is this crammed in the middle of a completely unrelated arc tho
pffft 'XD oh come on, they just assumed all might was corpsing because he's not a good actor
if this is sposed to tell you about the movie, then after this do I get to bitch about them uncanoning melissa's gauntlets? …wait the current arc hasn't even wrapped up yet, the continuity here is just beyond fucked.
huh. so windy guy is just if syndrome had taken it differently and just tried to be a angy hero instead (also if heroes hadn't gone underground I guess).
Hair guy is pretty cool
ain't really that late, but I think I'mma leave the last four episodes of the season for next time.

I JUST REALIZED
THAT LAS VEGAS IS A WILD WEST GAMBLING HOTSPOT IN THE 1900S AND 1910S
SO TECHNICALLY HUSK LIVED A WILD WEST LIFE IN LAS VEGAS BEFORE HE MOVED TO LA WHEN HE TURNED 18 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
SO IMAGINR THIS :
. Husk still keeping his dad's cowboy hat after all these decades
. Husk having a lasso and six shooters at the ready
. Husk telling his friends tall tales of his childhood and teen hood in Las Vegas
. H : Las Vegas ain't a glittering metropolis when I was alive - it was a growing Wild West gambling joint.
Crymini : For so long I actually thought Las Vegas was glittering since it started.
Husk : Well yeah it did became glittery some decades later.
. Husk being a pro at spitting at spit jars 🤯🤯🤯🤯🥺🥺🤣🤣🤣
. Angel Dust : Oh, Husky, you big strong cowboy extraordinaire, next time when we are in our room, I'd LOVE you to tie me up with your lassoes and fuck me like I'm a stallion~ 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Husk : * visibly cleaning wine glasses * Angie, sweetie, I'm currently cleaning up shit so just be patient.
Angel Dust : * pouts cutely * Okay, gattino. 💗💗💗💗💗😝😝😝
Husk : * thinking to himself * My beau is gonna be the death of me....🙄🙄🙄🙄💗💗💗💗💗
. HUSK ENTERING THE HARVEST MOON RODEO CHAMPIONSHIP IN WRATH RING ( actually Charlie's friends all got inter ring passes with the help of Charlie so there ) 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
. During the first time Melody sees the Harvest Moon Rodeo Championship in Person ( actually she was sitting on Moxxie's lap in the audience seats )
Millie : Mr Husk, I'm dedicating my potential win to my husband and my daughter * gestures to a wildly cheering Moxxie and a shrieking Melody dressed in an alicorn onesie in the audience booths *
Husk : Ma'am, I'll be dedicating my potential win to Angel Dust * gestures to Angel Dust who was loudly hooting and yelling in his pink Panther t shirt and navy blue shorts and boots, whilst sitting with the rest of his friends ( and being physically restrained by Charlie, Vaggie, Arackniss, Sir Pentious and Molly from literally jumping down the audience booths to pounce on Husk )
🤩🤩🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🥺🥺🥺🤣🤣🤣
. Husk laughing at some stereotypes present in Wild West movies
. Husk : Dames in the Wild West arent delicate flowers. They are tough as nails and carry shotguns underneath their skirts.
. Husk : Why do the floor boards creak so loudly only when some strangers enter a bar?!
🤯🤯🥺🥺🥺🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Comments on the L Word Gen Q s02e09
-I understand that the OG intro is tied to the OG show and wouldn't fit the GenQ because of that but i missed the girls in tight dresses, who drag with mustaches...
-Dont let you guys hate for Bette blind you about how she ain't wrong about the Nunez stuff. It ain't Dani fault too, is her father's.
-So the donor, Marcus, didn't wanted to meet Angie. Damn
-The series makes me want to live in LA
-Dani you're not a newby in the business. You know how shit works. Bette is protecting her business and ideas just as much as you are trying to clean up your father's bullshit
-I will never have kids, look how Angie is treating Tina and Bette because her donor doesn't wanted to meet her. I will never have the patience for that shit, i would give a "okay, fuck you then" and a smile
Look at that, i bet she thinks that was Bette's fault.
-Listen Sophie, after that "conversation" you would be the last person o want to talk to. And i think i would also runaway from you.
-And Look, Dani really is alone cuz her "friend" Micah is nowhere to be seen to help her. Thank God she have Gigi
-Alice having to come out again. That shit is real and sucks. She is aware that she can lost audience by the fact she is dating a man and that's sucks.
I get that a lot of gays wants to keep distance from straight males doesn't matter what but it sucks that Alice may lost audience cuz because she is dating a man
-I bet Sophie will fight Finley as soon as she finds her
-Yes Angie's she is being serious. No, you are being the asshole Angie. It's understandable that you're sad and wherever but that ain't your fault, it ain't Bette or Tina's fault, it ain't your friend's fault. And pushing away the people who actually care about you will not help you at all.
-Yes, Finley does have a problem. Her problem is Sophie.
I can't believe I got the Spanish scene, I've been struggling with that language since ever. Now i can say I speak Portuguese, English and listen to Spanish
-Dani if you need a time alone, you don't have to lie about it. I understand you lied because im your previous relationship you couldn't have that
-Shane and Alice leaving so Tibette can fight lmao. And again, Bette don't have the obligation to be Carrie best friend or something like that. Just being able to be nice with each other is
Bette is not crying only because she make it in her job, i can tell you guys that.
-Are you jealous Tina? ARE YOU JEALOUS TINA?
Yes apologize, thank you Angie.
"i think we should go back" i bet Tina's heart skipped a beat
-Fuck Marcus.
-No serious. It doesn't matter if Bette still have feelings for Tina or not, she ain't obligated to be Carrie's best friend. That's not fair. And if you the I being just a Bette's supporter but just imagine if people were pushing you to be all friends with a person that you just don't vibe with it and doesn't wanted
-Gigi is the best. Where I can find one? Oh the parallel with Bette and Pippa.
"nobody holds me when I'm sad" stuff. With Bette is like that too
-Since I'm a responsible bitch, i would at least give a "i don't wanna talk to you Sophie" message
Accept that she is not getting the pieces and making better. She is the reason Finley is drinking again n the first place. And she doesn't give a shit if Finley has lots of shit going on because with Sophie is all "me, me ,me"
-Angie and Jordi 💞
-Yes. Finley and Dani getting together against Sophie I'm so here for it. Oh no Dani, i mean you get it out please help Finley to get it out too
-Sorry Marcus, that actually sweet of you. Omg he died. At least, in a way, you got to meet Angie.
-Okay that broke my heart. If Sophie hurts Finley again i will punch her in the face.

-WHAT A GOOD EPISODE WTF

Tim's Playlist
Why each song is added. Updated as I add songs.
Basement - Covet Mainly just the vibes of the song. You are/ Everything/ My most/ Demanding Dream
Using - Sorority Noise Also, the entire song, ngl. But specifically: Started sleeping again/ Traded late nights and sheep for Vicodin/ The guilt burning in my chest set in/ I started sleeping again Started smoking again/ Guess I missed coughing my lungs up every morning/ Needed anything to keep me breathing/ To prevent my blood from bleeding
Prayer - Leith Ross It's my instinct to believe/ There is something more than me/ But I can't name what I can't see/ See, I have to belive/ There's some kind of deity/ In broken bones/ In skin that bleeds/ I can't count upon/ Heaven or Hell or law/ When I'm scared and lonely
Savior Complex - Phoebe Bridgers Smoking in the car/ Windows up/ Crocodile Tears/ Run the tap 'til it's clear For sure, wake up and start a big fire/ in our one room apartment/ But I'm too tired/ To have a pissing contest/ All the bad dreams that you hide/ Show me yours, I'll show you mine
I Don't Dance - Lee Brice THE ENTIRE FUCKING SONG. Love's never come my way/ I've never been this far/ 'Cause you took these two left feet/ And waltzed away with my heart/ No, I don't dance, but here I am/ Spinnin' you 'round and 'round in circles/ It ain't my style, but I don't care/ I'd do anything with you anywhere/ Yes, you got me in the palm of your hand, girl/ 'Cause I don't dance
Little Pistol - Mother Mother I think I might be scared/ Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid/ And how it gets in the way
Happiness Is a Warm Gun - "Across the Universe" Cast Cover I need a fix 'cause I'm going down/ Down to the pits that I left uptown Happiness is a warm gun/ Happiness is a warm gun, momma/ When I hold you in my arms/ And I feel my finger on your trigger/ I know nobody can do me no harm
Hurt - Oliver Tree Angy Timbert vibes. I sold my soul, I'm waiting for my pay in full/ I only want your dying love, I've seen enough/ I tried, but I don't think so/ Maybe it was me who was fucking up/ I gave all I could give, but/ It seems like it never really was enough Don't speak unless you have to/ Why you always seem in a bad mood/ Your whole life you had an attitude/ One day, is that so bad for you?/ I'm sorry if I hurt you/ I'm sorry if it got that bad/ I'm sorry I can't help you/ Someboy should have had your back
Lonely Eyes - The Front Bottoms You've got me stuck to where I'm sittin'/ Lookin' at your eyes/ And I know I'm so pathetic/ I wouldn't move to save my life And if you need a little sunshine/ You could borrow some of mine/ It's okay if you're unhappy/ I would say before I leave her/ Just take a look around/ There's no one here that's happy either
Scott Pilgrim v. My GPA - Mom Jeans You think I smoke too much/ I think your friends all suck/ Can't figure out the reason why our parents fight so much/ And I've given up on luck/ But I'm happy here
Gum - Moose Blood I've been smoking too much lately, I can feel it on my chest/ But I'll stand in the garden with you/ I didn't get much sleep last night but that's alright/ It was worth it just to see you move that hair from your eyes/ And/ Smile like you do/ Stay with me tonight/ I'll kiss your head to the morning/ I'll let you sleep on my side, of the bed girl
Vanilla Baby - Billie Marten Standing tall, no brick in the wall/ I take care of myself/ Fickle is as fickle does/ As solitary links I am only as good as you want me to be/ I don't pick up the phone if I don't want to speak/ I am only as good as you want me to be/ I don't know what I'm doing/ It's easy to see
Naruto Themed Sexting - Panucci's Pizza Well, if you come inside/ I promise to keep you warm/ I'm sorry if I scared you/ When I slammed the car door/ But that doesn't matter now/ You're still plastered on my walls/ And I just can't bring myself to cover you
Lose it - SWMRS Just the vibes. No specific lyrics.
Vermillion pt.2 - Slipknot She is everything to me/ The unrequited dream/ A song that no one sings/ The unattainable I catch in my throat/ Choke/ Torn into pieces/ I won't, no/ I don't want to be this/ But I won't let this build up inside of me
I'm on Fire - Bruce Springsteen This is jus cuz it's in the second chapter of Dear Diary, when she sees Masky for the first time so
The Girl - City and Colour I wish I could do better by you/ Cause that's what you deserve/ You sacrifice so much of your life/ In order for this to work When you cry, a piece of my heart dies/ Knowing that I may have been the cause/ If you were to leave/ Fulfill somoene else's dreams/ I think I might totally be lost
Mary On A Cross - Ghost But through all the sorrow/ We were riding high/ And the truth of the matter is/ I never let you go, let you go You go down just like Holy Mary/ Mary on a, Mary on a cross/ Your beauty never ever scared me
All I've Ever Known - Hadestown Cast I was alone so long/ I didn't even know I was lonely/ Out in the cold so long/ I didn't even know i was cold/ Turned my collar to the wind/ This is how it's always been/ All I've ever known is how to hold my own/ All I've ever known is how to hold my own/ But now i wanna hold you, too
Opera House - Cigarettes After Sex I've got a love for you that I just can't escape/ All of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire/ I was meant to love you and always keep you in my life/ I was meant to love you,/ I knew I loved you at first sight
Sweet - Cigarettes After Sex Watching the video that you sent me/ The one where you're showering with wet hair dripping/ You know that I'm obsessed with your body/ But it's the way you smile that does it for me/ It's so sweet, knowing that you love me/ Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Choke - IDKHBTFM This entire song is just. Masky vibes. Just Masky going beserker at times.
Lemon Boy - Cavetown No specific lyrics. Gives me major Brian and Tim friendship (lovers) vibes :))
Only Angel - Harry Styles Tim is a simp. Was thinking of him and seeing June for the first time outside of work. Broke a finger knocking on your bedroom floor/ I got splinters in my knuckles crawling across the floor/ Couldn't take you home to mother in a skirt that short/ But I think that's what I like about it.
Idea of Her - Cavetown 'Cause I can't get your name past my lips like a slur/ And I think I'm in love with the idea of her
If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn - Sleeping With Sirens How the hell did we end up like this?/ You bring out the beast in me/ I fell in love from the moment we kissed/ Since then, we've been history/ They say that love if forever/ Your forever is all that I need/ Please stay as long as you need/ Can't promise that things won't be broken/ But I swear that I will never leave/ Please stay forever with me

chapter 11
Y/N
Tumblr media
Today I was supposed to make a shit ton of desserts for my bake sale and Jemila was helping me out. I put her in charge of making the cookies and cherry cheesecakes and she went over to Kageyama's house with the supplies so that it could be done faster. Tanaka was knocked out in my room while I made the cake and donuts. I was mixing the cake batter in a pan while the donuts were frying. I had some music playing in the background as I hummed to the tunes.
I was about to add the cake mixture into the pan when I felt someone's arms being wrapped around my waist. "Good morning," a hoarse voice whispered in my ear. "Good morning," I smiled. I turned around and saw Tanaka shirtless, with his volleyball shorts on. Damn... "You need help?" he said. "Yea, but put a shirt on and go wash your hands, please," I said, scraping the batter out of the glass bowl. "Yes, ma'am," he said, walking back to my room. I placed the cake pans in the oven and started making more dough for the donuts.
Tanaka came back to the kitchen, and I explained to him what he could do. I taught him how to roll the dough and use the cookie cutter. After a couple of minutes, he was actually doing pretty well and things were going by much quicker. We spent the next two hours making donuts and cakes and when we were finished, the kitchen was an absolute mess. We were both covered in flour and food coloring. I dusted the flour off Tanaka's face and he dusted the flour off mine.
Kageyama and Jemila came back with all the desserts and everyone helped me load them into the trunk. After we got all the food in the trunk, I went to take a quick shower. I put all my flour-covered clothes in the hamper and got in the shower. I did my business and did a little extra so I would smell nicer. I put on my lotion and my clothes and went to the kitchen. Everyone else was still getting dressed and I was looking for the cat food so I could feed Almond. Then the doorbell rung. I put Almond's bowl on the floor and went to open it.
I swung it open and there were 2 girls standing at the door. One of them had frizzy black hair in two ponytails and had on this cute pink sanriocore themed dress. The other girl had a light grey lace front and she was wearing a grey top with matching baggy pants. She had a small chain across her nose and she had an industrial piercing. "Are you Y/N?" the girl with the grey hair said. "Yes...?" I said, confused. "Oh, we're your new business partners," she said. At first, I was confused then it hit me. "OH. Are you guys Amie and Angelique?" I asked them.
They both nodded and smiled. "Oh you're supposed to show me where the bakery is right?" I said. "Yea. Koharu told us to come here," the girl with the pink dress said. "Okay wait, who's Amie and who's Angelique?" I said, shaking my hands. "I'm Amie and this is Angelique," the girl with the grey lace front said. "But you can call me Angie," she smiled. "Oh okay,"  I nodded my head. "Okay well let me get my stuff then we can go," I said. I ran back to my room and got my phone and my bag. "TANAKA," I yelled. He came into my room, dressed with his outfit suspiciously coordinating with mine. "Nigga- ok," I said.
"I'm about to go see the bakery, do you wanna come?" I said, tilting my head. "Nah. I'll stay here, when you come back, I'll take you out," he smirked. I nodded my head and smiled. "See ya later, my dude," I said. "Y/N, I'll kill you," he laughed. "Try it," I said, shutting the door before he could respond. I went outside and Amie and Angie led me to the bakery. Surprisingly, I had passed it a million times and hadn't even noticed. "THIS PLACE IS OURS?" I said. "Hell yea. Koharu did what she had to do," Angie said. "Damn," I said. The bakery was right next to Sakanoshita Market which meant I would probably be seeing Coach Ukai a lot more now.
The bakery was literally amazing. There was like a light blue theme and everything in the bakery was either painted or colored a pastel light blue. "But there's one problem," Amie said. "Which is?" I said, tilting my head. "We don't have a name," Angie said. "We'll come up with one. It'll come to us one way or another," I said. "Well, when do we start working?" Amie said. "Well, who's the boss here?" I said. "Technically, Koharu since she owns the place but without her presence, it would be me," Amie said. "Okay well I got a million desserts in my car," I said.
We then made a plan. Kageyama and Jemila were gonna pass out the fliers Tanaka made earlier around school that there's a new bakery in town. Then everyone from school will come down to try the new desserts. Then we asked Koharu to come down here to tell us all about the schedule, how things would work, etc. I learned a lot about Amie and Angie, including how they would be transferring to Karasuno High next week. Finally, some more black females.
We had just finished arranging all the desserts into the freezers and displays when we started getting a few customers. This first girl came in and she looked so much like someone I knew. She had short, blond hair, long eyelashes and she was wearing this black tank top. I couldn't put my finger on who she looked like but I just brushed it off. "My brother told me to come and check out this place. Could I get a cupcake please?'" she said, in an energetic voice. Brother? "Sure," I smiled and I gave her a red velvet cupcake in a light blue box. "Thanks, Y/N," she winked at me and left. Wait, how the hell does she know my name?
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as she left. Then in my head, I put the pieces together. Brother. Familiar face. Y/N. "Ain't no way I just met his sister," I said. I went on my phone and called Hinata. I waited for the line to ring and it clicked. "Hello?" his cheery voice said on the line. "Hey Shoyo, does Tanaka have a sister?" I said. "Yup. Saeko," he said. "Does she have short blond hair and long eyelashes?" I asked. "Yes...?" he said, most likely confused. "Okay thanks," I said. "Bye," he said and hung up the phone.
Koharu had made her way over to the bakery and helped us out. She told us we would be switching days meaning after school and on weekends, except for Saturdays. I would be working Mondays and Wednesdays after school, Angie got Tuesdays and Thursdays and Amie got Fridays and Sundays. Tanaka and Kageyama said they would help out whenever they could so for now, everything was inset. Tanaka picked me up from the bakery and I grabbed a red velvet cupcake for him. I exchanged socials with Amie and Angie and got in the car.
"Hi," I smiled. "Hey," he said. I handed him the cupcake and put on my seatbelt. He opened the box. He took a small whiff of the cupcake and his eyes instantly lit up. I laughed and he pulled out of the driveway. "So where are we going this time?" I said. "Fair," he smirked. I nodded my head and leaned back in my seat. I was looking out the window as I dozed off. Something about his car was so relaxing. Whether it was the pleasant aroma of sandalwood or Tanaka's presence itself.
I woke up when I felt my body being lifted. I opened my eyes to see Tanaka carrying me out of the car, bridal style. He put me down but my legs wobbled, causing me to almost fall on the ground. "Woah there," he said as he grabbed my love handles. He kissed my forehead and held me until I fully woke up and could stand on my own. "Thank you," I said, pecking his lips and grabbing my bag from the car. Tanaka took my hand and led me into the carnival. There were a lot of people around so I held onto his hand tightly.
We paid for our tickets and we started going around the park. Tanaka and I were both what you would call daredevils and we went on every single ride in the park. By the time we finished riding everyone, it was now dark out. "Wanna get some food?" He said. I nodded my head and we went to look for a booth. They didn't have any places that sold actual food so we just got a huge roll of cotton candy to share. Then this man came up to us and asked if he could take a picture of the both of us. At first, we were hesitant, but he showed us his Instagram page and he seemed legit. He had all this equipment and he got me and Tanaka into a pose.
Tanaka looked at me, holding the cotton candy as I looked down, taking a piece. The photographer took a couple of shots and showed us the pictures. They actually came out pretty good. He followed us both on Instagram and said he would share them with us. He also gave us his number in case we wanted pictures taken in the future. We thanked him and we continued with our trip. It was very dark outside and all you could see was a few lights here and there but the illuminating glow of the Ferris wheel stood out to me. "Let's go on the Ferris wheel,"  I said.
"A little cliche don't ya think," he said. "Oh shut up," I said and I took his hand and led us to the Ferris wheel. We got on and it started going around. As it went higher, I saw Tanaka fumbling with his fingers. "You okay?" I asked, taking his hand in mine. "Yea, I'm okay," he smiled. The Ferris wheel was going in circles at a slow pace and of course, as soon as we got to the top, it jammed. "We'll get it up and working in a minute, guys," someone yelled from the ground.
𝗢 𝗠 𝗡 𝗜 𝗦 𝗖 𝗜 𝗘 𝗡 𝗧
You sighed in distress and laid your head on Tanaka's shoulder. He wrapped his arm around you. The scenery was relaxing and tranquil so it wasn't all that bad. "Y/N," Tanaka called your name. You had closed your eyes and were half asleep. "Y/N, thank you so much for being my peace. I have no idea how I lived my life without you and in these past few weeks, you have truly been my everything. Thank you for that," he said. Tanaka kissed your forehead, not realizing that you had heard everything that he had said.
Tanaka was now driving you back home and you were about to doze off until you got a notification on your phone. The photographer had sent you both the pictures he took earlier. You smiled at the picture and chose one. You posted the picture to your Instagram and dozed off.

You Ain't Slick Pt 4
Alexander x Reader Word Count: 1863 A/N: really creative title, I know (I forgot I said I was going to post this today I was in a hurry)
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
You hated that he had this type of effect on you; you hadn’t for a moment stopped thinking about him, but didn’t have it in you to act on it. So, you did the only thing you thought reasonable to do—you asked Angelica.
“I knew it!” She exclaimed, hitting you gently in the arm, repeatedly, in her excitement, “I knew he likes you! He makes it so obvious, he’s got googley eyes on whenever you walk into the room,” she laughed, practically vibrating in her chair. “And, I know it’s not really what you want to hear, Y/N,” she said, suddenly lowering her voice, “But you DO owe me ten dollars.”
You rolled your eyes; “We can go to the diner later,” you deadpanned, “Now tell me what to do!”
“What do you mean,” Angelica laughed, “He didn’t ask you out on a date?” She asked, furrowing her brows.
You shook your head; “I may have been avoiding him,” you replied, nearly ashamed.
Angelica groaned; “Y/N,” she sighed, rolling her eyes, “What am I going to do with you?”
You shrugged, kicking a stone the two of you passed by,
“Go talk to him! He’s a cute guy; I mean, definitely the most stubborn person I’ve ever met, but cute nonetheless… And you like him, too, don’t you?” She asked, eyeing you expectantly.
You shrugged your shoulders, “I don’t know,” you answered earnestly, “I’ve never really thought about it before; he’s always just been my friend. Before he kissed me, I was going to tell him NOT to kiss me, but he just cut me off…”
Angie sighed; “So you don’t think you like him?” She asked, cocking her head to the side.
You shrugged; “I don’t know,” you sighed, “When he kissed me I DEFINITELY liked him… And I haven’t stopped thinking about him… But I can’t tell if that’s because I’ve been trying so hard to avoid him, or because I have feelings for him,” you explained, before looking up at her, “I think I’m just confused.”
“Understandably,” Angelica agreed as she pulled out her phone. “It’s Hercules,” she sighed, “Said they’re all heading to the diner… Wanna go with them?”
You had a moment of an inner-war with yourself, before Angelica stopped it.
“You can’t avoid him forever,” she said, “We just have to rip off the band-aid.”
You nodded your head, begrudgingly, “You’re right,” you sighed, “Let’s go with them—I owe you a meal, anyway.”
“Good,” Angelica grinned, “Because I already told them we’re on the way.”
***
At the diner, Alex, Lafayette, Hercules, John, and Emma were sitting in your usual booth; they all had milkshakes and were sharing a few plates of fries. Across from Alex was your favourite flavour of milkshake, and beside Emma was Angelica’s.
You grinned awkwardly, taking what you assumed to be was your seat. “You got me a milkshake?” You asked to nobody in particular, as you took a sip.
“I said I’d buy you another, didn’t I?” Alexander asked, trying to hold eye contact with you.
You looked down at your drink, awkwardly; “I didn’t think you’d remember,” you admitted shyly. You hated that he was making you feel like this. You were kind of awkward in general; you didn’t need a stupid boy coming in and making it any worse.
“A man of my word,” he replied, pushing his plate of fries towards you; “Hungry?” He asked, raising his eyebrows.
You just shook your head.
“You don’t have to worry though, Alexander,” Angelica grinned teasingly, “We were just at mine, we had some snacks there.”
Emma laughed in response, nudging Alexander with her shoulder, “Our little worry wart,” she grinned, stealing one of his fries for herself.
She had been feeling more like herself, recently. She still went into little fits of sadness once in a while, but on the whole, she seemed to be getting happier. I guess in hindsight, she was able to see how toxic her relationship was with George, and began appreciating the split. You couldn’t help but feel proud of her.
Alexander rolled his eyes while he took a resentful sip of his strawberry milkshake.
For the next hour, the seven of you just sat, talking. You and Alexander made awkward eye contact, which you always broke, not really ready to confront the situation. You wouldn’t put it past him to tackle you with it sometime soon, though.
Luckily, though, the boys had a movie planned for tonight that was beginning in fifteen minutes, so they took off. As soon as he left the diner, you felt a weight lift off of your shoulders; it immediately returned though, once you realized that it was only temporary, and that you would have to face him sooner or later.
Right when the boys left, Emma scooted from her seat to Alexanders, across from you; “Guys,” she said hurriedly, “I have some big news.”
Both you and Angelica grinned, giving Emma your full attention. “What is it?” You asked; if would be nice to have something distract you from Alexander.
“It’s Alexander.”
You seen Angelica’s head swing to look at you out of the corner of your eye, but you refused to acknowledge her, and kept your eyes trained on Emma. “What about him?” You asked, trying to keep your voice at the same level of enthusiasm.
She sighed, her eyes wide, like a child’s; “I think I’m starting to really like him.”
Angelica coughed uncomfortably; “Really?” She asked, sounding somewhat disgusted, “He’s kind of a player,” she said and you instantly knew what she was trying to do.
“Angie,” you said warningly, finally working up the courage to look at her, “He’s our friend.”
She widened her eyes at you, her own warning. “I was just saying,” she said more gently this time, turning her attention back to Emma. “We all know him…”
“You don’t think he’d be good for me?” She asked, nearly pitifully.
Angelica shook her head softly; “It’s just… You and George just ended things… You don’t think it’s too fast?”
Emma shrugged her shoulders; “He’s just so different than George… He’s so sweet, and understanding, and smart, and… I don’t know, I think he’s really cute,” she explained, making your stomach sink the tiniest bit. “I thought you’d be proud of me for moving on.”
“And I am!” Angelica said quickly, “It’s just… Moving on to Alexander?”
Emma sighed; “If you don’t think it’s a good idea—“
“I think it’s a good idea,” you cut it, “It’s great that you’re moving on. Two weeks ago, leaving your room was a huge deal, and you’ve come so far already. This is perfect, Emma.”
Em smiled at you, appreciatively; “Thanks, Y/N,” she beamed. “That means a lot to me.”
Angelica bit her lip, but didn’t say anything more.
***
“What were you thinking?!” Angelica exclaimed as you flopped down on your bed, ready for her spiel, and getting comfortable for it. “Now I wholeheartedly agree with Alex—you’re nuts. If you like him, go get him! Why would you hand him over to Emma on a silver platter? You’re crazy, Y/N, crazy in all sorts of ways.”
“Angie,” you sighed, “I don’t even know if I like him—and it’s not like we were anything, anyway, we just kissed a little bit. It’s not a big deal!”
Angelica rolled her eyes; “It is too a big deal!” She argued, throwing her arms up in exasperation. “And so what if you don’t know if you like him or not! That means you should give yourself time to figure it out, not totally dispose of him! Y/N, why would you… I have never been this frustrated before.”
You rolled your eyes, “That’s hyperbolic, Angie, and you know it. I’m okay! I’m fine! I’ll just… Find someone else. I couldn’t be with Alex, anyway…”
“And why’s that?” She questioned you, placing her hand on her hip.
You sighed; “He’s so… You know… Open… And emotional… And I’m so not. It wouldn’t work!”
“That’s ridiculous,” Angelica sighed, “You’re crazy emotional—just not when it comes to guys. And even if you won’t tell me why, I know that’s true. I don’t know who hurt you, or how they did it, but Y/N, you’re letting that interfere with all of your potential relationships! Alex is a great guy, who’s so into you! And you just… Let him fly on by, all because you’re too afraid to be vulnerable with a boy?”
You rolled your eyes, but she just kept on going; “And don’t tell me I’m wrong, because I can see it with my own eyes, and I know it’s true,” she said knowingly, raising her eyebrows, challenging you to disagree with her.
“You don’t think I know that?” You groaned, “Of course I do! I’ve been dealing with it since forever—I just need practice, and maybe I just need to be with somebody… Less emotional… You know, somebody who’s kind of an asshole, to help me get out of my dating funk.”
Angelica rolled her eyes; “Y/N, that is, no offence, the stupidest idea I have ever heard of.” “Angie!”
“It’s true,” she exclaimed, “You’re just trying to get out of feeling things, like you always do! You haven’t been ‘dealing with this since forever,’ you’ve been AVOIDING dealing with it since forever. And I hate watching it, you’re like a self destructing robot; you just go around blowing yourself up, over and over again!” She blurted out, “And I’m tired of seeing you give yourself wholly to other people, never leaving anything for yourself, and refusing anybody giving you anything back! I am not having it anymore! You have to tell Emma what’s going on between you and Alexander. And you and Alex have to work this out. And for once in your life, dammit, just do what’s going to make you happy, Y/N. Seriously. I’m sick and tired of this, you deserve to be just as happy as the rest of us,” she asserted, looking you dead in the eye.
“Angie,” you sighed, biting your bottom lip gently, “I’m just afraid,” you said, urging yourself not to cry and break down, for what would the millionth time over this exact subject. “And you said it yourself—you can’t make Emma feel something she just doesn’t feel, and you can’t make me feel something I don’t feel. I can’t be with Alexander, because maybe I do like him a little bit; but admitting that is only going to make me vulnerable, and give him all of the ammo he needs to really hurt me—“
“You think he would hurt you?” She asked, “Y/N, if you think that he would do anything that could ever, remotely, hurt you, you’re wrong. You’ve seen the way he cares about you, you’ve seen how much he likes you.”
“Yeah, well, George started off really liking Emma, too, didn’t he?” You challenged her, biting your lip harder, “And I don’t want to go through that, especially not with Alexander,” you argued. “And you’re just going to have to accept that, Angelica.”

You Ain't Slick (Part 1)
Alexander x Reader Word Count: 2,257 A/N: Hey lil guys; I wrote this a while back, and then I just kept writing, and now there are 6 parts to it. If you want the other parts, let a sister know, and I’ll give them to you… I just don’t want to be posting things that you don’t actually want to be reading. I hope you like it!!
“I hate everything about him,” Emma sighed, resting her face in the palm of her hand. You bit your lip, and nodded you head. Just two days ago she loved everything about him; there was no way that you were going to bring that up, though.
“He doesn’t deserve you, Em,” Angelica said with her usual confidence, “No boy deserves you—no boy deserves any of us!” She declared dramatically, making you cock your head in curiosity. You kept quiet, though, eager to see where she was going with this.
“Let’s become nuns—it’s not too late to convert is it? We’re only in college, we’ve still got our whole life to redeem ourselves!” She continued, earning herself a blank stare from Emma, and a stifled laugh from John.
Last week, Emma’s year-long boyfriend, George, cheated on her. Well, he didn’t do the cheating last week, she figured it out last week. He did the cheating multiple times, multiple weeks ago. As a consequence, Angelica and yourself had spent the past few days trying to comfort her. The two of you managed to talk her into going out to lunch today, which was a step ahead of her refusing to leaver her bedroom, which is where she was at yesterday.
“Maybe I should take this one, Angie,” you said gently, rubbing Angelica’s shoulder.
John chuckled, “Yeah,” he grinned, “Or even me, if you want. I think even I could top that.”
You rolled your eyes and kicked John warningly from underneath the table, shooting him a death glare; “Ignore him,” you said with a sigh, turning your attention back to the heartbroken girl sitting beside you, “He’s an idiot.”
Emma’s shoulders slumped noticeably, but Angie began to speak before anybody else; “Yeah,” she agreed quickly, “Who invited you, anyway? How did you know we’d be here?”
John took a drink of his milkshake, cockily; “It was only a matter of time,” he said, a smug grin gracing his freckled face, “A heartbroken girl, seeking comfort from her two best friends? The trio was bound to hit up the diner, eventually, and when they did—I would be ready to accept the free milkshake,” he grinned, taking a drink.
You rolled your eyes; “How did you know I’d offer to buy you a milkshake?” You asked, thoroughly annoyed, but also thoroughly confused. Although he played dumb a lot, John was surprisingly cunning.
He shrugged his shoulders; “Because you always do?” He said, taking another drink, “Thank you by the way.”
You sighed and returned your attention back to Emma; “How are you feeling?” You asked, raising your eyebrows the tiniest bit, “Any better?”
She shrugged her small shoulders as she fiddled with her straw; “Maybe we shouldn’t talk about it anymore?” She asked, moving her hands to the hem of her shirt, fiddling with the ends. You saw her bottom lip pout out, and heard her sigh, and you immediately needed to fix it.
“Great idea!” John exclaimed, “Instead, let’s talk about—oh hey, guys,” he said, grinning as he looked past you, Angelica and Emma to the group of boys standing in the diner’s entrance.
“Bonjour,” Lafayette grinned, taking a seat across from Angelica, beside John. “John texted—said you guys finally got Emma out of the house, we came as soon as we heard.”
You pursed your lips, “Lafayette,” you said, raising your eyebrows, “Please stop,” you said with a yawn.
“Asshat,” Alexander muttered, hitting him upside the head as he passed him by, taking a seat across from Emma, on the other side of John.
Angelica sighed gently, “Where’s Herc?” She asked before taking a drink of her milkshake, looking at the boys across from her expectantly.
“Busy at work; he said he’ll catch up with us later,” Alexander answered, as he reached over to grab your milkshake; “You don’t mind, right?” He asked, eyeing you for permission before he took a sip.
You looked at him, unamused, “Well, you already have it,” you said, raising your eyebrows.
“Thanks,” he said, taking a drink, “I’ll buy you another sometime,” he promised, though you knew that it was an empty promise.
“So,” John began, “Any other plans today?” He asked, looking at you and Angelica expectantly.
“None yet; are you up for anything, Em?” Angelica asked, peering over you so she could see Emma.
Emma looked up, her eyes watering, but none of you knew quite why. “I-I don’t want to stop you guys from doing anything,” Emma answered hurriedly, making her way out of the booth, “I think I’ll just go; thanks for the milkshake, Y/N,” she mumbled, avoiding all eye contact.
You shot John a look before quickly following her out of the booth.
“Way to go, John,” Angelica muttered bitterly; from his shriek, you assumed he had earned himself another kick to the shin.
“What did I do?!” You heard him exclaim before you left the diner, running after Em.
“Emma!” You called as you caught up to her, “Hey, just wait,” you said, nearly out of breath. This was embarrassing, you needed to work on your stamina; you were panting as you approached her.
She turned around, wiping away the stray tears that made their way down her face; “Hey,” you said softly, furrowing your eyebrows, “Emma it’s alright,” you pulled her into a hug, “You’re not stopping us from doing anything… Don’t listen to John, you know he doesn’t have a filter…”
“I know,” she sniffled, “It’s just… I know you guys are just trying to help me, but I—I’m just hurt, and if I go out anywhere, I’m going to be a huge downer, and I don’t want that… You guys should go out and have fun, I’ll be okay,” her voice soft.
You shook your head; “Em,” you sighed, “We don’t mind staying in for a couple of days; we just want to make sure you’re okay. You were with him for over a year, and he hurt you… And you’re our best friend, we’ll always be here for you.”
Emma sniffled, pulling away from the hug, “Thanks,” she mumbled, wiping her eyes.
“Anytime,” you replied; “Are you up for anything tonight? The new movies will be in the theatre, I think there was one that the boys wanted to see. We can guilt John into buying us popcorn,” you sang, shaking your hips with a giggle.
She laughed too, making you feel very accomplished; “Okay,” she answered, “A movie sounds nice… You guys will text me the time?”
You nodded your head, “Of course,” you grinned, “We’ll see you later?”
“Definitely.”
***
“She agreed to the movie,” you said later that afternoon, “But she seemed skeptical.”
You and Angelica were making some cupcakes in your kitchen, with Alexander and Lafayette keeping you company. John went to pick up Hercules, and in an hour, the six of you were heading over to get Em.
“So you guys are making her cupcakes?” Alexander asked, cocking his head to the side. “It’s midterm week next week, don’t you have tests to study for?”
Angelica nodded her head, “Yes,” she answered, peeking in at the oven, “But we’ve also got to keep Emma’s happiness-momentum going.”
Lafayette shrugged his shoulders, “Makes sense—your idea Angelica?” He teased, looking directly at you to gauge your reaction.
Your jaw dropped as you picked up some flour and flicked it at him; “It was my idea actually, Lafayette,” you spat, “And we’re having a sleepover tonight—you guys aren’t invited. Also my idea,” you stated proudly.
Lafayette grinned, dusting the powder off of his clothes, “I was only teasing,” he said, smiling, “You are very sensible, mon amie,” he assured you. He knew that you loved listening to him speak French. He could’ve stolen every single thing that you own, but if he apologized for it in his native tongue, he’d be forgiven in an instant.
“I forgive you,” you muttered, going over to the over pulling on the oven mitts before pulling out the tray of cupcakes. “Perfect,” you grinned proudly. “Now it’s just the icing.”
“Hey, Y/N,” Alexander piped up, standing from his seat, “Can I talk to you for a minute?”
You looked at him, then back to your cupcakes. Quickly, you dumped them onto the cooling tray before placing it in the sink, softly. “Yeah,” you answered, following him as he lead you into your bedroom.
“What’s up?” You asked, cocking your head to the side, “Everything okay?”
He nodded his head, “Yeah… Is everything okay with you?” He asked, looking down at you expectantly.
You furrowed your brows, “Yeah… Of course, I’m fine.”
Alex nodded his head; “You sure? Because you’ve kind of been acting a lot like me recently… And don’t think I don’t notice the darker under eyes-“
“Okay, that is just rude, Alexander,” you said, crossing your arms.
“It’s true!” He countered, “You’ve barely been sleeping lately—what’s up?”
You shrugged your shoulders, “Nothing; nothing is ‘up,’ I’m fine,” you assured him. Sure, you’ve been staying up later at night to get your schoolwork done—but that was only because your days were filled with trying to cure Emma of her heartbreak.
Alexander raised his eyebrows, seeming to know something that you didn’t. “Y/N,” he said, using his serious voice.
You looked around your room in order to avoid all eye contact with him.
“Y/N.”
“What?” You exclaimed, “Alex, I’m fine. I promise.”
“Then why haven’t you been sleeping— you usually take a nap every day, this is so unlike you,” he said, his eyes wide; your lack of naps was very concerning to him.
You sighed; “I’ve just been busy. Emma’s really beaten up about George; Angelica and I have been consoling her during the day, and I have to make room for all the essays and exams next week, so I’ve been staying up later and waking up earlier. That’s it,” you explained, “But I’ll be fine.”
Alexander raised his eyebrows; “I’m just saying,” he sighed, “You seem like you’re working yourself into the ground. You’ve been making her tiny cakes for the past hour and aren’t even done yet—you spent all day consoling her, the past week trying to bribe her into coming out, and now you’re having her sleep over? Y/N, I know she’s your best friend, but she’s a grown up, she’s an adult. She can take care of herself a little bit, you know? You’re her friend, not her mother,” he sighed, shrugging his shoulders gently, “And you’re prioritizing her over your schoolwork? I know how much your grades mean to you, why would you throw that away?” He asked, his brows furrowed.
You sighed; “I’m not throwing anything away—I’ve been getting everything done, it just takes me a while longer,” you replied, “She’s not going to be heartbroken forever, and the faster I can fix her, the faster I can get back to fixing my grades—“
“She’s not yours to fix!” Alexander argued, “You’re always trying to fix everybody’s problems, and always ignoring your own. Y/N, I know this is weird coming from me… But you need to take a break.”
“You never listen to me when I tell you to take a break, Alexander, why would I listen to you?” You challenged him, crossing your arms, the oven mitts making it a bit of a challenge. You kept them on, though, in case the opportunity arose in which you could fling them off dramatically. You had never fought with Alexander before— you had seen him fight, though, and he was scarily good at it. Based on his arguments with Jefferson, you would eventually get frustrated enough to throw them off.
“Because I’m just trying to look out for you— I know it’s exam week next week, and I know you have three essays due,” he explained, “And also, whenever you tell me to take a break, I’m NEVER putting off my own needs; in fact, it’s usually the exact opposite!”
“Oh go on,” you groaned, rolling your eyes, “What does that even mean? Alexander, you’ve gone days without sleep, days with only eating granola bars and coffee, you can’t possibly believe—“
“Well, I’ve gotten use to it, now— my body is totally used to only eating granola bars for a couple of days. You’re body, oh no, that body needs some proper meals, it needs it’s full eight glasses of water,” he argued, looking you up and down, “Sometimes even nine.”
You gasped, putting your mitt-clad hands on your hips, “How dare you, Alexander?” You asked in annoyance, “You’re not even making any sense. Are you running purely off of caffeine right now?”
Alex narrowed his eyes; “I’m actually making perfect sense, Y/N, you just can’t see it because YOU are running on little to no sleep.” You hated that he didn’t even stutter.
You narrowed your eyes, “This isn’t over, Hamilton,” you muttered bitterly as you stormed out of your room, throwing off your oven mitts as you left.
He chuckled sarcastically, “I know you were planning that from the beginning, Y/L/N,” he said as he followed you, “You ain’t slick.”
You sighed and slapped on a smile as you approached Angelica and Lafayette in the kitchen once again.
“What was that all about?” Angie asked in a whisper as she mixed the icing all together.
You rolled your eyes, “Nothing,” you replied, “Don’t worry about it.”

No More (You Ain't Slick Pt 5)
Alexander x Reader Word Count: 2316 "Well, I have to admit,” he said, “I definitely did not see this coming.” You rolled your eyes, “Well, I’m sorry for not sending out a warning,” you bit back, before sighing. “So do you want to or not?” You asked impatiently, looking up at him, expectantly. He shrugged. “Yeah, sure,” he answered, handing you his phone, “Enter your info, and I’ll text you later?” He asked, as you began typing. “Yeah,” you sighed, “And I’ll see you tonight?” “Definitely,” Thomas grinned, taking his phone back, “I’ll see you then, Sweetheart.” *** “What?!” Angelica cried, “You’re going out on a date with THOMAS?! Y/N, are you KIDDING ME?!” She definitely was not being supportive. “What can I say,” you said, dreamily, “Can’t say no to that… Southern charm,” you said hesitantly, furrowing your brows. You said it, you would have to stick with it. “What do you mean, ‘can’t say no,’ Y/N, you’re the one who asked him out!” Angie groaned in annoyance and frustration. “Which, one, is so unlike you, and I’m actually very proud of you for that, but TWO, is so like you, because you’re running away from your feelings AGAIN.” So what? You asked Thomas out on a date. And so what? You knew the reasons behind why you did it—these days nobody was letting you forget it! But knowing your issues and dealing with them are two very different things. You shrugged your shoulders, “It’s just a single date, Ange,” you sighed, “Nothing has to come from it…” Angelica rolled her eyes as she, “So what are you going to tell Alexander?” She asked, turning the volume of her car radio down completely; you were in political science class together, and she always gave you a ride to and from the campus. “I don’t know…” You said, honestly, “Probably the same thing I said to you? We haven’t talked about anything since the kiss; maybe he thought it was horrible, maybe he hates me now.” Angelica rolled her eyes; “Or maybe you’ve been avoiding him,” she argued, looking at you pointedly before tuning into your driveway. “Regardless,” you sighed, “I’m going out with Thomas tonight—so maybe don’t let the guys go to the diner? That’s really not a conversation I’m ready to have, yet. Especially not with John around.” Angie raised her eyebrows; “I’m not making any promises,” she sang as you opened the door to hop out. “Angie,” you said, looking at her seriously, “Please? I’ll tell him after the date, I swear.” She nodded her head; “Fine,” she agreed with a sigh, “But if they want to go, it’ll be six against one, so don’t hold anything against me, alright?” “Alright,” you grinned, “Thanks, Ange, I’ll call you right after to let you know how it went!” “I’ll be waiting!” *** The date was… alright. He hasn’t stopped talking about himself, yet, which you should have been expecting; if there’s anyone who won’t shut up about themselves, it’s Thomas Jefferson. This is why, when your six friends entered the diner, you didn’t feel as distraught as you thought you would. “What the fuck is this?” Hercules asked with a grin, pulling up a chair and sitting beside Thomas. “Y/N,” he said dramatically, as you rolled your eyes, “Are you leaving us for this francophile?” Thomas cut in immediately; “Go to France for one summer, and suddenly you can never live it down,” he deadpanned. You looked up at Angelica, who just looked back at you, apologetically. She shrugged her shoulders, and mouthed a quick ‘sorry.’ John took the seat beside you, nudging his shoulder into yours; “Now, I really hope this isn’t a date,” he teased, looking from Thomas to you, to Alexander. So John knows about what happened, you thought. Great. “Well, it is a date, Laurens,” Thomas grumbled, scooting his chair back, “And we were just about to leave, so…” he said, looking at you hopefully. You nodded your head, quickly picking up on his call for help, “Yeah,” you agreed, scooting your chair out as well, “I’ll see you guys later?” You asked, not daring to look at Alex. “Of course,” Angelica answered, smiling at you as Thomas grabbed your hand. He pulled you out of the diner, wrapping his arm around you as you left. After leaving the diner, Thomas, thankfully, gave you a ride home, still talking about his newest projects as he drove. When he finally pulled into your driveway, you had to fight not to let out a sigh of relief. “I’ll walk you in,” he declared, already undoing his seatbelt. A moment of panic washed over your body, and you stomach sank the tiniest bit; of course Thomas was attractive, and intelligent, but he was also a complete asshole, who’s incredibly conceited and self-involved. They only walk you in if they want a kiss, and you didn’t necessarily want to be kissing Thomas Jefferson tonight. You undid your seatbelt, skeptically, before climbing out of his car. But then again, you didn’t know just how much you liked Alexander until he kissed you. Maybe you secretly really like Thomas… At your door, Thomas grabbed your hand, pulling you closer to him. “I had fun tonight,” he said, his voice low, “Maybe next time, we can go somewhere your friends won’t be?” He asked, playfully, leaning his head down. You nodded your head in response, as he moved his hand from yours to your jawline, tilting your face to look up at him. Without thinking too much about it, you went onto your tippy toes, pressing your lip gently against his. Immediately, he responded, moving his lips with yours, more roughly than Alexander ever did. You were the first to pull away; you could feel your cheeks heat up, not fully knowing why. “I’ll see you later?” He asked, looking at you in anticipation. You nodded, “Yeah,” you replied. “I’ll see you later.” *** “How’d it go?” Angelica asked from over the phone, “Was he a good kisser?” You rolled your eyes, flopping down on your couch; “It was horrible… He never talked about anything other than himself; and the date was like an hour and a half long! That’s a long time to talk about yourself!” You explained, exasperated. “And the kiss was fine, but it wasn’t anything special,” you grumbled. “Well, the rest of the guys were surprised when they seen you there with him; I think they all know what happened between you two. Emma excluded,” she sighed, “Poor, little, naive, oblivious, Emma… She’s been flirting with Alexander all day,” she groaned. “I don’t want to talk about it,” you sighed, “And I especially don’t want to hear about it.” “Ignoring it isn’t going to make it go away, Y/N,” she said, frustrated. “I know,” you sighed, as you phone began making an odd sound; pulling it away from your ear, you seen Alexander’s name pop up. “Oh no,” you groaned, “Angelica, I’ll call you later, alright?” “Is everything okay?” She asked, worriedly. “Everything’s fine,” you replied, “I just… I’ll call you back, alright?” You said quickly before hanging up your call with her, and picking up Alexander’s. “Hello?” You said, dubiously. “Y/N?” He greeted, “Can I come over? We need to talk, and you’ve been avoiding me again.” Your eyes widened; “We’re—we’re taking right now, Alex,” you sighed, knowing that he wasn’t going to be taking any of it. You heard him sigh deeply from the other line, “I’m coming over. You’re at home, right?” You nodded your head before remembering that he couldn’t see you; “Yeah,” you said, “I’m at home…” “I’ll be right there.” *** Your heart was pounding in your chest while you awaited for him to arrive; there was nothing you hated more than confrontation. Your stomach was a pit of pure anxiety, your head a mess of unfinished thoughts. Even knowing that he was coming, when he knocked on your door, your stomach sank into the ground. You opened it up, and slapped on the most pitiful smile he has probably ever seen. “Hi,” you offered, which was only met with a frown. “What’s the matter with you?” He asked, walking angrily into your living room. “Excuse me?” You asked, shutting the door, and facing him, “Alexander, you can’t—“ “Did you tell Emma to flirt with me?” He asked, seriously, “Because she’s been doing it all damn week, and frankly, I’m sick of it.” You crossed your arms over your chest, “Now that’s just rude, Alexander, she’s my friend.” He rolled his eyes, completely frustrated, “Is that seriously all you’re going to say?” He groaned. You sighed and looked down at your sock clad toes; you were wearing your puppy ones today. “I may have told her that going after you was a great idea,” you muttered, “But that was only because she was finally getting over George, and I was just pushing her along!” Alexander rolled his eyes, “This would be a hell of a lot easier if you just admitted that you don’t like me, Y/N,” he said roughly, “So I could stop wasting my time.” You refused to look up from the labrador on your socks, “Alex it’s just—“ “You’ve been avoiding me for weeks, you haven’t stopped pushing me away, and you tell your best friend to try to flirt with me? And worst of all, you go out on a date with Jefferson?” He exclaimed, “And now you can’t even look at me?” You sighed, moving your eyes from your toes to Alexander’s. “That doesn’t count, Y/N,” he groaned. Begrudgingly, you looked at his chin, but that’s as far as you were willing to go. Alex sighed; “Do you know how much this sucks for me, too, Y/N?” He asked rhetorically; “I know it’s hard for you to open up to people, and to let yourself feel things, and to be vulnerable with your emotions, but… Do you have any idea how hard it is to fall in love with somebody like you? I can’t tell if you like me, or you hate me; but you KNOW that I like you, and I gave you so much power over me when I kissed you that day, and you just… You just completely ignored me. Do you even know how shitty that makes me feel?” He sighed again, waiting a moment for a response; “Look, if I’m wasting my time here, just tell me,” he said, totally exasperated at this point; you couldn’t blame him. It was times like these that you wished you could carry a little Angelica in your back pocket to give you advice. Because honestly, you had no idea what to do. But you knew what she would say. “You love me?” You asked, hesitantly. Regardless of just now hearing him say that you did, you still had the fear that in that minute he changed his mind. He flopped down on the couch; “Did you not just hear my entire spiel, Y/N?” He asked; “Don’t you have anything else to say?” You sat down on the couch, grabbing the throw pillow and cuddling it into your chest; “I didn’t know I was making you feel like that,” you admitted quietly, “I really didn’t mean to, I was just… I was just being an idiot, and I was being so selfish and so wrapped up in my own feelings, I didn’t even think about yours… I’m sorry, Alex,” you said, biting your bottom lip gently. He sighed deeply, being oddly patient with you; “Why would you tell Emma to flirt with me?” He asked, lowering his voice, looking at you, expectantly. Managing the courage, you looked up at him; “Because I’m an idiot,” you muttered, rolling your eyes. Alexander looked at you, totally unamused, so you continued; “I don’t know,” you answered truthfully, “I was just a bit freaked out—you were showing interest in me, and then you KISSED me, and… And, okay, you can’t look at me when I’m talking, you’re making me too nervous,” you said hurriedly, feeling your cheeks heat up in embarrassment. Alexander sighed, but looked straight ahead at the TV that wasn’t playing anything. “Fine,” he mumbled, “Continue.” You took a deep breath before continuing; “And I was afraid, because I knew that you liked me, and I knew that I liked you, too. But I also knew that if you knew that I liked you, that I would risk messing up our friendship, and our entire group, because that’s how ALL of my relationships end up, and,” you took another breath, “And I don’t have a good reason, I was just suppressing my emotions.” “So you do like me? At least a little bit?” He asked, hesitantly, still looking at nothing. You nodded your head, before remembering that he wasn’t allowed to look at you; “Oh,” you said, shaking your head, “Yeah. A little bit… A lot a bit…” You seen him grin, making you blush even harder than you already were; “And that’s why you went out with Jefferson?” He said, bitterly. You sighed; “Yeah,” you mumbled. “I wanted to keep my mind off of you, so I asked him out… You know… Because you two are so different… It didn’t work by the way; it was a very flawed plan.” Alexander smiled, proudly, “He sucks, hey?” He asked with a chuckled, making you roll your eyes. “Alexander,” you sighed, looking at him, totally unamused. “Sorry,” he apologized quickly. You scooted closer to him, and he looked at you, and you let him. “I’m sorry I’ve been avoiding you,” you apologized, “I-I know it sucks. And I’m also sorry for… Everything else.” Alex nodded his head in understanding; “I know why you did it,” he said, softly; “But no more?” He asked. You shook your head; “No more.”
