If your pet could talk, what do you think they might say about you?
Firstly, I have no idea how you come up with these questions but I love them fjdjfj 💞
Secondly, I think it would depend on the pet.
Murphy? Probably some variant of “Mother never feeds me, I am but skin and bones, but at least they have brought Father into our lives, and Father can be Trusted™️ For that, I will lavish Mother with eternal devotion”

Maya, on the other hand, is probably just like “Mum’s okay, but I don’t love them enough to express my anal glands in their vicinity when we cuddle. Only Dad gets that special privilege.”

maya! I hope you’re doing well!
i’ve been on a one piece kick lately and am literally obsessed lol. i was wondering if i could request a hurt/comfort one shot with trafalgar law. maybe reader is overly sensitive and takes something he says to heart? he’s not really the type to dwindle on things like that. So I def feel like he’d just not understand why reader is being so sensitive over something so trivial.
LEARN TO LOVE - TRAFALGAR LAW X READER
Tumblr media
Warnings : a couple of curses, Law is kinda unintentionally mean and clumsy at love, this is not proofread, reader is gender-neutral!
Genre : hurt/comfort, fluff!
Word count : 1.6K words
Additional notes : THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REQUESTING FOR ONE PIECE HOLY SHIT😭😭 I’m doing quite well, thank you 🥰 I’m literally hyperfixating on the show rn and no one ever requests for it 💔 Law might be a little ooc because I personally believe he’s on the autistic spectrum, and it makes perfect sense with this request. I absolutely adored writing this, please feel free to request at any time for more characters if you’d like! Hope you enjoy this 💗💗
Requests : Are open! Check the rules over here.

Rubbing their temple with pure exhaustion from the draining one-sided argument they were currently having, they sighed deeply, closing their eyes for a moment. “Listen, Law, just… all I’m asking for is some of your time.”
Their boyfriend clicked his pen twice, setting it down on the desk as he heaved out heavily. “And I’m telling you that I’m busy and don’t have time to spare. That’s all.”
“Time to spare?” they echoed incredulously, eyes widening with disbelief. “You’re making it sound like I’m an extra that you might or might not make time for… not, I don’t know, maybe your partner?”
With a small wave of his hand, he gestured to the pile of papers in front of him, scribbled with his black ink. “I’m a doctor. I need to be up-to-date. You know that.”
A frustrated expression made its way on their face. “I’m not stopping you from doing your job. I just don’t think it’s normal for you to set our relationship as your last priority.”
“Never said it was.”
With a pointed look, they said, “You’ve implied it plenty enough with your actions. I’ve barely seen you this past week.”
Law only shook his head. He wasn’t particularly impatient, per se, he just simply disliked the interruption. It wasn’t easy to focus again once his train of thought was interrupted, and this discussion had dragged on for too long. Already he’d begun to forget where he’d been on the latest research paper he’d managed to get his hands on.
Before more thoughts could slip his mind, he turned back to his desk, crossing his leg as he picked his pen back up. He needed to wrap this up and set a later date for this discussion. “I have important shit to do right now. We’ll talk later tonight.”
Law had already long turned his attention back to his work before he could spot the horrified expression on their face, stunned by how off-handed his comment was and how uncaring he seemed to be of the effect of his words. The callousness behind them would’ve probably hurt less had they been intentional, but the fact that he had no idea how deep they cut only drove the knife in even further than their implication did.
He hadn’t even stayed around long enough to see the consequences of his actions in the form of their reaction, only turning back to what he deemed his priority at the moment. Nothing remained for them to do but to leave the room before their tears began to fall. It felt far too humiliating to do that with his back turned to them and hunched over his desk once more.
***
By the time Law had turned in for the night and got into their shared bedroom, they’d already been tucked in and fast asleep with their back facing him and a troubled look on their still face. Ruffling his hair awkwardly, he frowned a little. Hadn’t they wanted to talk about things earlier? It made no sense for them to not stay up for a little while when they had seemed so concerned that afternoon.
He didn’t dwell on it for long, instead slipping off his shirt and settling in for the night beside them. He’d get to the bottom of things later, when they’re both awake and free. Right now, he was positively knackered and could do with a proper rest—or as much as he could.
***
The following day had been twice as confusing as the note the night had ended on. Having woken up before them as he always did, he’d expected them to have breakfast in his quarters as they’d gotten used to, but he’d instead found himself dining on his own. Though he’d scowled at that, he’d brushed it off soon as he busied himself with finishing up some notes he had to write. It was always better to pen things down when he was focused.
Come lunchtime when he was finally finished up with his work, he’d found them leaning against the submarine’s rails, taking in the fresh saltwater air and sunshine while it lasted. With the intention of lingering outside, he’d walked up to them to perhaps strike up the conversation once more, but they’d promptly ignored him and stepped back inside. In all honesty, it left him a bit irritated; he clearly had no idea what was going on.
Weren’t they always the one insistent on communicating everything? More often than not he found himself having difficulty with that, and yet he’d always done his best to express himself and his emotions (to the best of his abilities, that is—which often were none). So what was this evasion of him about?
With these thoughts in mind, he followed them back into their shared room, where they lounged on a chair, book in hand and completely ignoring his presence in the room.
“Shouldn’t we be talking about what you had to say yesterday?” he asked, brow arched as their jaw tightened in response.
“What do you want me to say?” they spoke in a low and controlled voice, “You’ve already expressed how you feel about that matter.”
Law frowned as he walked up to them. “I haven’t said anything. I just told you we’d discuss it later.”
“After you’d reminded me that our relationship wasn’t important enough,” they snapped, finally setting their book down, “”I have important shit to do.” Really, Law? Is that how little you regard us?”
His expression only grew more confused at that. “What’s that got to do with anything? I was simply working and didn’t want to get distracted at the time.”
“The way you worded it, Law, that’s what fucking hurt,” they ground their teeth, eyes shimmering with what seemed to be unshed tears as they stood up and glared at him, “There was the implication that any issue concerning us and our relationship itself wasn’t important enough for you to prioritize. You deny that being the truth, but your actions clearly speak louder than your words.”
Law was still none the wiser after they’d ranted. It wasn’t that he was particularly invalidating how they felt, but he truly didn’t understand how they’d come up with this conclusion after one single sentence he’d said. Perhaps the core of the problem being their request for more time spent together was the cause for this, but he failed to understand how his words had upset them.
To him, no matter how he’d worded it, he’d only meant that he’d needed to finish up some readings before he could give them his full attention. In all honesty, it felt a little too trivial for him to get.
However, the way they looked up at him with tears that threatened to spill over their lashes and a deeply wounded look in their eyes, he had to swallow that unnecessary commentary down. Despite everything, he hated seeing them so distraught, awkward as he felt when he knew little to nothing of how to properly comfort someone else. It was a brand new experience; learning how to love and be loved, and he’d come to realize how fragile of a thing that was.
Regardless of how he would’ve personally felt in their shoes, he forced himself to remember that not everyone reacts the same way to everything, and that emotional triggers are different from one person to the next. Besides, hadn’t he fallen for the way his lover always seemed to wear their heart on their sleeves? Hadn’t he thought it quite endearing that they were sensitive to their emotions and his as well? It wasn’t his place to dictate how they felt about things.
And so, with a slightly heavier heart than when he first stepped into the room, Law found himself gently taking off his hat and plopping it ontop of their head. It was far larger on them, and drooped in front of their eyes, but perhaps it was better that way. He’d rather not meet their eyes when he was feeling this sheepish and embarrassed by his actions.
“Sorry,” he gruffly apologized, patting their head, feeling a tug in his chest as they almost instantly sniffled in reaction to the small gesture, as though all they’d wanted was for him to recognize that he’d hurt their feelings. “Was just swamped over with work. I didn’t mean it like that.”
They sighed a little, sniffling twice afterwards. “I know, it just hurt.”
“Sorry,” he repeated, this time with a little more meaning and his heart pounding furiously for some reason. “I’ll make it up to you. Let’s sit and discuss how to better spend time together.”
Briefly, they glanced to the side, a trace of hesitance on their features. “I don’t want to be demanding—“
Huffing a little with exasperation, he pulled them into his chest. The embrace was a little stiff, even he had to admit, but he hoped that the message came across loud and clear. Their head nestled into his chest, and the comforting warmth had him inhaling shakily as he took his hat off them before he spoke again. “You’re not. You’re asking for the bare minimum.” His hand was gentle as his fingers brushed through their hair; the one affectionate gesture that came naturally to him. “Sit down with me. Help me fix up a better schedule.”
Pulling back from his hug, they clumsily wiped at their eyes, removing all traces of tears from them as they took a seat on the bed. “Better fit in six hours of sleep too.”
Without meeting their eyes, their boyfriend hummed as he sidled in beside them. “We’ll see about that.”
“Law…”

Title: ((if you like it), put a ring in it [AO3 Link] Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Steve Rogers Tags: Top Bucky Barnes, Possessive Behaviour/Sex, Object Insertion, Fisting, Come Eating, Prostate Milking, PWP Summary: the “in” from the title is NOT a typo :)
For my precious @cable-knit-sweater in our impromptu “ring fic” exchange LOL. I adore you, and this ring obsession is all your fault 💗
Everyone should also read Maya’s “made your mark on me, a golden tattoo”.
It all starts with a friendly pat on the arm, when Steve shakes the hand of a potential business partner. That’s not all Bucky sees though — he sees Steve giving that naturally kind, brilliant smile and the man’s hand lingering for a beat too long on Steve’s bicep.
Someone will have to answer for that. When he tells Steve this, Steve had all but dropped to his knees right then and there in the middle of their nightclub.
Thankfully, or perhaps disappointingly, they were the only two left, so Bucky was free to fuck Steve on the bar counter, hoarse screams echoing in the large, open room.
When he finally pulls out of Steve, he has to stop Steve from pulling up his pants.
“No one touches my things,” Bucky reminds him in a low voice. “Did you need a little reminding?”
Steve’s pupils blow wide open at the rhetorical question as his lush, pink lips part in anticipation. Excitement. The big doe-eyed expression tells Bucky that Steve himself isn’t sure what the answer should be.
It’s not like Bucky had prepared to fuck his newlywed husband in the middle of their club that night, or any other night, though maybe he ought to start doing so.
Bucky doesn’t explain what to do next, he doesn’t need to. He simply picks up the closest substitute within reach — a simple, shiny jigger. Steve shivers and hikes his leg up, ass inviting, but it still takes some patience to work it in.
It’s the wrong shape, the wrong size, and yet it does its job and plugs Steve up all the same.
Then Bucky makes sure to hit every speed bump on their way home.
“Who’s my good boy,” Bucky coos, twisting and pulling the silver makeshift plug out of Steve, drawing a whine. “Good boys deserve rewards, don’t they now?”
He’s careful taking it out and the resistance he feels is enough to make Bucky’s cock stir again, his body eager to feel that same tight grip. His hands smooth over Steve’s voluptuous cheeks which are spread open, presenting to him like a delectable feast.
He traces a finger around Steve’s swollen hole, watching it flutter, greedy for more while a strangled affirmative sound comes from Steve’s throat, muffled by the mattress that he lies face-first in.
“Iunno, Stevie, you’re lookin’ pretty full as it is.”
“More,” Steve pants into the sheets. “Always want more of you.”
“Sure you can handle it, sweet thing?” Bucky asks, pressing two fingers into the loosened, slicked hole.
“Yes, yeah — fuck, please,” Steve babbles, weeping as he clenches the bedding in his fists.
Bucky loves when Steve is a mess. A crying, heaving mess of tears, sweat and come, covered in Bucky’s marks.
“You know I gotta take my time openin’ you back up,” Bucky teases, the third finger prodding at the entrance.
“S’fine,” Steve insists. “I can take it, I can nnnggh —”
He’s cut off by the sharp inhale he takes as Bucky pushes in.
Bucky watches with dark, hungry eyes as his fingers disappear inside of Steve, one of his many rings catching on the rim each time. “Fuck, look at you, greedy little thing.”
Steve’s past the point of coherent words, but he does push back, meeting Bucky’s slower movements. Bucky watches in amusement for a while before he curls his fingers, hitting that sweet spot he’s so familiar with.
“AH! Oh, Buck,” Steve moans, echoing in their room, his body trying to rock faster until Bucky puts a hand on his lower back.
“Time for what you really want, unless you’re just gonna fuck yourself on my fingers all night.”
Steve freezes, as if a switch has been flipped. The switch between “BRAT” and “BEHAVE”, if Bucky was going to label them. He gives Bucky a shuddering moan, canting his hips downward as if he could possibly open himself more for Bucky, submitting himself to Bucky’s plans for him.
Even Bucky’s self-control has its limits, though. As much as he’d love to tease Steve all night, his own cock is heavy between his legs, begging to sink into the sight presented in front of him. He tugs at Steve’s rim with both thumbs hooked inside and lets out a happy sigh. As if there was ever any question about who belonged inside Steve, Bucky spits into the swollen, winking hole watching the bubbles of his saliva get swallowed up before lining himself up.
“Who does this tight little hole belong to?”
“You,” Steve answers without hesitation, his breathing picking up again already.
“Who do you belong to?”
“You!” Steve cries out as Bucky breaches him.
“Mmm, and you wanna know who wants to fucking ruin you right now?”
“God, Bucky — please, Bucky,” Steve begs in lieu of an answer, clamping down on Bucky’s cock like a vice grip.
Bucky makes good on that promise, fucks Steve into the mattress within an inch of his life until they come together, groaning and grunting. Until they’re both a tangled mess of limbs and harsh breaths, sweat gleaming across their skin.
Steve smiles deliriously, trying his best to look over his shoulder when Bucky starts to pull out, even though all he sees are fucking stars right now. He whines at Bucky, tongue too heavy to formulate his demand for Bucky to stay, to keep him plugged. It’s one of his favourite feelings…
And yet, what Bucky does next might even be better.
“Bu — uh!” Steve bites his own lip hard enough to bleed as Bucky roughly shoves three fingers back inside him, his other pressing Steve down into the bed. “Oh! Oh, fuck, yes, yes…”
Steve trails off into moaning sobs as Bucky goes straight for his destination. He’s already right on the edge, so he knows it won’t take much, but he hangs on for as long as possible, just to savour the sensation of Bucky inside him.
Bucky gets his fourth finger in, the ring on it bearing his initials of “BB”. It gives him some inexplicable possessive feeling of making Steve his, as if he could brand his name inside of Steve.
The squelching noises of Bucky plunging his fingers in, past his knuckles are obscene, loud enough they can be heard over Steve’s breathless pants for air. Then he’s in deep enough that the tip of his thumb can run along the abused rim.
“Feels like I’m gonna split you right open,” Bucky purrs, slipping his thumb in to join the rest.
“Do it,” Steve huffs with a lopsided small, eyes glazed over and shining.
He can read Steve’s body, the way it tightens and his muscles ripple, building up an orgasm that shouldn’t be possible.
Bucky pulls his hand back an inch or so, fingers pressing on the front wall, and Steve jolts immediately. As Bucky curls his digits, slowly massaging the slight bulge, he watches as Steve’s muscles tense and shudder beneath him.
“Buck…” Steve gasps, face pinched in concentration. “C-can’t —”
“Oh, yes you can, kitten. You will.” It’s not a question, Bucky’s not asking, he’s simply announcing it as he plunges back in, all the way up to his wrist. His thumb smooths over Steve’s sweet spot, his entire hand enveloped in heat.
It’s thrilling to watch his whole hand sink into Steve’s body, to think about just how deep he truly is, to impale Steve on his arm like this. Steve’s unmarred skin stretches around him, his cheeks a blend of pinks and reds from Bucky’s assault on them.
Just as he’d planned, Steve shoots up from the mattress with a wail, his cock dribbling as Bucky milks him.
It’s music to Bucky’s ears, the desperate pleas to both stop and keep going.
When he’s finally wrung everything out of Steve, he starts retracting his fingers, sticky with come, webbing as Bucky spreads them.
If it weren’t for the heaving of Steve’s body from his laboured breathing, Bucky might’ve thought he’d fucked Steve dead. Instead, he lays himself over Steve’s back, bracketing Steve with his arms.
“Remember who you belong to?”
“M’yours…” Steve slurs, his mind halfway to the clouds, blissful.
“That’s right, baby. Open.”
Bucky doesn’t need to say anything more — his good boy follows the command in an instant.
Steve’s mouth is so inviting, lips shining with his own drool, tongue hanging out to get a taste.
Bucky brings his mess of a hand up to Steve’s mouth, fingers upon Steve’s willing tongue and simply watches. His eyes track how Steve sucks on each one and licks in between them.
When Steve gets to his rings, he takes extra time and attention to wriggle about, to get every drop of Bucky’s come out of every crevice. The tip of Steve’s tongue runs along his initials, and it makes the heat inside of Bucky flare up again.
He leans down to kiss the matching ring on Steve’s finger, the “BB” on Steve’s gold band an obvious claim.
Mine.

Any tv-shows/movies you have been obsessing about lately?
I noticed one of the replies of your asks mentioning that you were a former Twilight fan and funnily enough I just saw the films for the first time some days ago!
It was quite the experience!
I wouldn't exactly say that I am obsessed with it though.. But it was very interesting and dare I say; hillarious! I laughed so hard every time I saw Jasper, lol. No offense to the actor though 😅
Hugs!
I've been on a documentary kick lately! I just finished Take Care of Maya, which blew me away and had me in tears.
In terms of movies, my partner and I are doing our yearly tradition of watching a horror movie every day of October. We watched Scream yesterday because it's one of my faves. Always gets me.
My Twilight phase was once a closely guarded secret but no more. I was FAN. A superfan if you will. It was an obsession. So glad I healed.
Thanks for asking!

Sports Romance
Sports Romance:
The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
Vanessa worked for Aiden Graves for years. She quits her job working for him but he shows up at her door asking her to come back. Not just to come back, but to marry him for citizenship/green card reasons. I liked this book. It was a slow burn which was nice because things weren’t happening one after another unrealistically. Some parts were a bit corny/cringy, but I really liked Vanessa and Aiden together. 
From Lukov With Love by Mariana Zapata
Jasmine and Ivan are both figure skaters. Jasmine has hated him for years. Jasmine is offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete with Ivan, and opinions/thoughts begin to change. This book is slow burn and only tells from the perspective of Jasmine. I wished I could see Ivan’s POV, but it kept the book suspenseful without knowing Ivan’s thoughts. 
Icebreaker by Hannah Grace
Anastasia is a figure skater. Nathan is a hockey player. Misunderstandings lead to the figure skaters and hockey players having to share a rink. When Anastasia’s partner gets injured due to this arrangement, Nathan takes Anastasia’s partner’s place and starts figure skating while also playing hockey. This book had a few tropes within the big trope. Anastasia is a relatable character, and it’s always nice to relate to a character and not have them be unrealistic and perfect.
Offside by Avery Keelan
Bailey is dumped by her boyfriend, but rebounds into her ex-boyfriend’s rival, Chase. Chase is considered the enemy and competition because of hockey and fighting for a spot in the NHL. If you like sports romance and the ex trope this is a good book for you. Chase is a funny, honest, and protective character. Bailey reforms Chase’s playboy ways. Chase is a book boyfriend lol. 
The Deal by Elle Kennedy (Off Campus Series)
Garrett needs tutoring if he doesn’t want to be benched in hockey, and in return he promises to help Hannah with her love life. Garrett is Briar U’s golden boy, and he promises to help Hannah get her crush’s attention. Hate to friends to partners. This has the faking dating trope too. This is one of my favorite books. Hannah and Garrett are made for each other, and I found myself rooting for them. The plot isn’t all smooth sailing, so you see them fight for each other and fight against the odds. 
Waiting to Score by Elouise Tynan
Monty kisses West to save herself from her obsessive ex-boyfriend. West is unable to forget their kiss, and decides to help Monty out with her ex by pretending to date. West and Monty are likable characters, but Monty’s ex is very hateable. He does some bad questionable things, and is very obsessive. As the reader, I hate Monty’s ex-boyfriend. 
The Summer Proposal by Vi Keeland
Georgia meets Max on a blind date and they hit it off. However, she discovers Max wasn’t actually her date and crashed it. They had a connection, so she was disappointed when her real date showed up. Before leaving Max leaves her hockey tickets, and when she arrives at the game she realizes Max is the star player. Georgia is in a complicated relationship, and is in an open relationship with her boyfriend after her boyfriend went through a hard time. Georgia and Max are good for each other. I don’t like Georgia’s boyfriend, so I was rooting for Max. Georgia is a hardworking, intelligent, and hard-working woman. Max isn’t a stereotypical character, and shows many sides to himself. 
Dirty Air Series by Lauren Asher
Throttled 
Collided
Wrecked
Redeemed
Formula 1 romance. The series follows the relationship of different couples. Throttled was my favorite book though. Maya is a fun character and Noah turns out to be a complex character. Maya is Noah’s new teammate’s sister. Maya’s brother, Santiago and Noah don’t have a good relationship because of something that happened at a race the previous year. Maya is such a sweet person and I love how she vlogs her trip. Noah and her are adorable together.

they both tried so hard to put on a mask only for them to call each other out ☠️ by far one of my favorite chapters so far!!! look at those parallels!!! gosh i am hurt but excited!!!
Yeah, honestly, I think this is one of my favorite chapters lmao which feels so funny to say but sometimes you just need to see your characters break before they can get better. Nol was never EVER going to address his mask - and worse, he was planning to disappear without saying goodbye to anyone, and frankly, that was really devastating for me to think about. As sad as it is to watch them like this (someone pointed out that it reads so much like a break up scene lmao) it was necessary to put those things in the open. With the way Nol believes a. No one saw through the Yeonggi mask and b. That no one really cares enough if he WERE to disappear, he was going to just carry on like this forever.
I can't get too deep into this in the moment, but Nol and Shinae both have a habit of squashing things down in effort to be "okay". In fact, Nol's whole "Maybe I should just go with it all" spiel has a lot of connotations of wanting to just lay down and accept things, because fighting is exhausting. Likewise, Shinae tends to just... roll on from things she's endured without really doing anything about them. Kinda like when things were weird with her and Maya and she didn't address it - sometimes you go with things because facing them is hard and it's scary.
I am honestly so, SO obsessed with their parallels, I'll never shut up about it. It's why even though I'm never totally certain what I think will happen in ILY, I AM always certain that Shinae and Nol will always have each others' backs and be partners, whether it's platonic or romantic, because they have been so intricately designed to always mirror each other.
(More below because I started big rambling lmao)
The masks one is especially good because the look on Nol's face when Shinae calls him out for being the same as her. AAAAAAHHHHHHHH.
Tumblr media
No one ever calls him out, no one sees through him, no one ever seems aware of his mask and even if Shinae was one of them until now, the point is, now SHE is seeing into the real Nol, she is seeing beyond Yeonggi and I think that is both scary and intimate. Yeonggi was so, SO convincing - and he was a good shield. I think it's not necessarily that Nol wore a mask only to keep people out, but I think more because as Nol he hates himself SO MUCH, Yeonggi was the way he could try to put that behind him. Nol is terrible but Yeonggi? Maybe Yeonggi could be a good guy. Maybe Yeonggi could form friends. Maybe someone would love Yeonggi. (*muffled sobbing*)
Another good parallel is even the opening! They're all the lines Nol has said to Shinae as he earns her friendship, and you see the snowflake melting because it was her melting to him and letting down her guard and becoming true friends with him. He melted the cold shell she uses to protect herself. But notably, those lines are also likely her own thoughts towards him. "I want to help you." "Let's be friends." "It's not good to bottle everything up inside. You can only hold out so long before you break." Nol needs to open up, he needs to let things out, because he is at breaking point already. He is breaking.
(Incidentally, stuff like this is why I'm such an ardent shipper of this pair; they understand each other inside and out because they've both been through this, they both understand what it's like to carry something with you that you can't release yourself from, how hard it is to let someone care, both loathe to feel like a burden. They have such an innate understanding of each other that their emotional intimacy is already formed without them realizing it!)
The one that keeps haunting me lately lol is when Jayce says "You're the only heir" or whatever and it shows Nol, and when Kousuke is told "Congrats you're the new CFO" and it shows Shinae. That.... is really loaded. I'm not sure if it's going to be as face value as it sounds but at any rate, the two of them will remain involved with the Hirahara Corp (as much as I want them to run together). But I believe that whatever involvement they have in the future will be okay as long as they are a team. Shinae and Nol are just soulmates man, okay? They are SOULMATES and I'm in love with them and the way they each bring things out of each other that they need to and I can't wait to see what kind of effect they'll have on each other in the future. (I'm also hoping badly that Nol is the person who shows up on the rooftop at the party at the Parks', because pls I want them to reconcile now rather than 4.5 years in the future lol)
UGH I just love them and I love this episode I'm SO happy to gush about it with people after all these weeks AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

March 4: Possible Writing Projects
It’s so cold today. I went out adventuring but I probably would have been better off curling up in bed literally all day and just being warm.
I tried to write up some potential writing projects but it was mostly just a depressing exercise because most of these aren’t really viable, at least at the moment. I just really need some new projects, especially The 100 projects, because the only stuff I’m working on are my BFF fills (at this point, even for me, Slowest Writer of the Year, not at all urgent) and my Dollhouse AU (a curse upon me). So I wrote up this list but, I don’t know, it doesn’t feel very helpful.
Gina Story: a recurring ghost; I tried to write this last spring and it didn’t work out; every now and then I bring it up to myself but nothing happens. It’s inspired by The Juniper Tree and I want it to have that floaty, unreal, dreamlike quality to it. Recently I’ve been thinking I should go all out for the surreal aspects. May or may not want to go back to my law school notes for an ‘outline’ of sorts.
Bellarke + hands: found in my drafts folder; I think this was supposed to be a flash fic fill but it didn’t work out. Still, I like what I have. I think I might want to rework it into a ficlet. There’s no plot but that’s okay. It would be nice if it didn’t go to waste. Or I could find a plot for it but that seems like a lot of work.
Bellarke Beat AU: I started writing this for AU Week in the summer then stopped abruptly (like mid-sentence) and haven’t picked it up since because I’m too afraid I won’t be able to find the style again. ut I really like the first bits I wrote and I do intend to pick it up again. Eventually.
Bellamy/Jasper Coffee Shop AU: like twenty bad ideas rolled ito one lol. The biggest is that it would be mutli-chap and I think based on my problems with the Dollhouse AU that I should avoid those. Especially for rare pairs. especially especially for guilty pleasure rare pairs.
Expansion of Clarke/Maya ‘swamp:’ Ditto.
Monty + Bryan at the Dropship: This would be an offshoot of the Press Play verse, which is a place I’m not sure I could find again. I mainly mention it because of a couple of extant rejected paras from that fic, which I thought would work well in this fic, if I were to actually write it. I also have this weird obsession with Monty + Bryan interaction, I think because of the Farm Station thing.
Ark AU: It would be so fun! But actually it wouldn’t because if the Dollhouse AU brought down a curse, this one would bring down like 10 curses.
HS GSA AU: When I was lying awake last Sunday trying to sleep, I wrote this whole story in my head in which Clarke started a GSA at her school after tentative-lesbian Raven was denied the ability to go to homecoming with a girl, and Miller and his snarky lab partner Murphy end up going and Miller is super awkward and anyway the whole thing was REALLY weird and should proably never be committed to paper but I wanted to record it anyway just in case.
Also...I have two whole story ideas tags AND a whole inspiration blog, and I thought maybe I’d just pick the most immediately inspiring picture or (more probably) word prompt and just go.
I don’t know--I just really want to write something short and fast and easy without angsting about it. I’d say ‘is that too much to ask?’ but I think we know it definitely is.

italian greyhounds, Spinone Italiano, Schipperke, fox hound, beagle, springer spaniel and samoyed
Italian greyhounds - oh my god. They are the cutest noodley little dogs ever. There is one I saw at the park - first time I’d ever seen one in person - and I was basically dying from the adorableness. The tiny twiggy legs and the TININESS. I didn’t expect them to be that smol and skinny. Absolutely gorgeous little dog, he was a bit shy and nervous. I also saw lots of Iggies at Crufts, I saw one jump into its owner’s arms from the ground for a cuddle (!!!! ahhh) and one was completely enveloped in a cosy bed, fast asleep. I think that’s a perfect summary of what these dogs are like. I don’t think I’d have one because they are so fragile - with their thin skin and delicate bones, I wouldn’t want to risk them getting hurt even just by playing with my other dogs!
Spinone Italiano - never met one! They sound like interesting dogs, but I’d be lying if I said I know much about them. Their coarse coat type is my least favourite texture of fur, and I’m not really a gundog person, so they aren’t a breed I’d have. They sound like they are bred for purpose though, which is something I can appreciate.
Schipperke - only met these guys at Crufts. They are cute little foxy small dogs. They were friendly and happy to greet me. There were a couple of black ones, and a cream one (I never knew they came in this colour until I met this guy!). The cream one was sooooo pretty! I loved how alert they were, and the pointy ears - curly tail is totally my aesthetic. I would need to do more research r.e. would I have one, but it’s a maybe. Apparently they are very yappy which puts me off, but they are cool dogs.
Foxhound - in my country, while fox hunting with packs of hounds is illegal, it still happens because of class bias and the police not prosecuting the rich snobs that do it. There are LOTS of working foxhounds that tend to be fearful of people because they are kept in kennels and not socialised well. I know a rescued foxhound who was a failed hunting dog due to be shot, but was taken in by an anti-fox hunting activist. I met this dog, and he was lovely. HUGE, no concept of his own size, and really affectionate. He was still worried by certain objects and sounds, but a Good Boy. The breed in general isn’t for me… their appearance and temperament isn’t what I’m looking for. I also don’t like how you see lots of foxhounds running away from the pack and ending up killing lambs, cats, small dogs, etc. (HoundsOff is a whole organisation that deals with foxhounds causing destruction to property/pets/livestock). I also have a strong anti-fox hunting stance, and while it isn’t the dog’s fault, it does deter me a bit :(
Beagle - omg beagles are adorable. I love that they have ‘puppy faces’ for their whole life. My aunt’s partner’s parents has two beagles, and their family has always had beagles. They rescued ex-testing facility beagles some years ago, which is neat. Beagles are really not for me though. They are quite low energy, lazy and that is kinda boring to me. I like dogs that are crazy and want to ‘do more’ than sniff the ground (I’m sorry to people who like beagles lol, they are cuties but yeahhh) and dogs that are so food obsessed they will eat until they explode (which I’ve found most beagles are) aren’t my thing so much. When I worked at doggy daycare there was a beagle that would pick up and eat rocks. It was also beagles we had the most trouble with for eating other dogs’ poop. And lots of noise.
Springer spaniel I’ve done.
Samoyed - ahhhhhhhh! WHITE CLOUDS OF LOVE. There was a 6 month old Sammy pup at the park the other week - oh my lord. 6 months, and huge, so happy and bouncy (desperate to play with Maya, but his recall wasn’t good enough to come off lead yet). And they feel so amazing. I think they are gorgeous and can’t help smiling when I look at them (the Sammy smile is contagious). If I knew more about their temperament etc they would totally be a breed I could have.

Sports Romance
The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
Vanessa worked for Aiden Graves for years. She quits her job working for him but he shows up at her door asking her to come back. Not just to come back, but to marry him for citizenship/green card reasons. I liked this book. It was a slow burn which was nice because things weren’t happening one after another unrealistically. Some parts were a bit corny/cringy, but I really liked Vanessa and Aiden together. 
From Lukov With Love by Mariana Zapata
Jasmine and Ivan are both figure skaters. Jasmine has hated him for years. Jasmine is offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete with Ivan, and opinions/thoughts begin to change. This book is slow burn and only tells from the perspective of Jasmine. I wished I could see Ivan’s POV, but it kept the book suspenseful without knowing Ivan’s thoughts. 
Icebreaker by Hannah Grace
Anastasia is a figure skater. Nathan is a hockey player. Misunderstandings lead to the figure skaters and hockey players having to share a rink. When Anastasia’s partner gets injured due to this arrangement, Nathan takes Anastasia’s partner’s place and starts figure skating while also playing hockey. This book had a few tropes within the big trope. Anastasia is a relatable character, and it’s always nice to relate to a character and not have them be unrealistic and perfect.
Offside by Avery Keelan
Bailey is dumped by her boyfriend, but rebounds into her ex-boyfriend’s rival, Chase. Chase is considered the enemy and competition because of hockey and fighting for a spot in the NHL. If you like sports romance and the ex trope this is a good book for you. Chase is a funny, honest, and protective character. Bailey reforms Chase’s playboy ways. Chase is a book boyfriend lol. 
The Deal by Elle Kennedy (Off Campus Series)
Garrett needs tutoring if he doesn’t want to be benched in hockey, and in return he promises to help Hannah with her love life. Garrett is Briar U’s golden boy, and he promises to help Hannah get her crush’s attention. Hate to friends to partners. This has the faking dating trope too. This is one of my favorite books. Hannah and Garrett are made for each other, and I found myself rooting for them. The plot isn’t all smooth sailing, so you see them fight for each other and fight against the odds. 
Waiting to Score by Elouise Tynan
Monty kisses West to save herself from her obsessive ex-boyfriend. West is unable to forget their kiss, and decides to help Monty out with her ex by pretending to date. West and Monty are likable characters, but Monty’s ex is very hateable. He does some bad questionable things, and is very obsessive. As the reader, I hate Monty’s ex-boyfriend. 
The Summer Proposal by Vi Keeland
Georgia meets Max on a blind date and they hit it off. However, she discovers Max wasn’t actually her date and crashed it. They had a connection, so she was disappointed when her real date showed up. Before leaving Max leaves her hockey tickets, and when she arrives at the game she realizes Max is the star player. Georgia is in a complicated relationship, and is in an open relationship with her boyfriend after her boyfriend went through a hard time. Georgia and Max are good for each other. I don’t like Georgia’s boyfriend, so I was rooting for Max. Georgia is a hardworking, intelligent, and hard-working woman. Max isn’t a stereotypical character, and shows many sides to himself. 
Dirty Air Series by Lauren Asher
Throttled 
Collided
Wrecked
Redeemed
Formula 1 romance. The series follows the relationship of different couples. Throttled was my favorite book though. Maya is a fun character and Noah turns out to be a complex character. Maya is Noah’s new teammate’s sister. Maya’s brother, Santiago and Noah don’t have a good relationship because of something that happened at a race the previous year. Maya is such a sweet person and I love how she vlogs her trip. Noah and her are adorable together.
  Fantasy:
Shatter Me Series by Tahereh Mafi
Shatter Me
Unravel Me
Ignite Me
Restore Me
Defy Me
Imagine Me
Juliette’s touch can kill. She’s locked up after accidentally killing a toddler. When she’s released the Reestablishment wants to use her as a weapon. This is a long series, but a good one. I don’t like Adam and Juliette together, but like Warner and Juliette. Warner is technically the bad guy but he and Juliette make a cute couple. Adam is a caring character straight off the bat. Warner on the other hand evolves and when he does I like him. 
The Folk of the Air Series by Holly Black
The Cruel Prince
The Wicked King
The Queen of Nothing
The book follows Jude who is a human and Price Carden who is a faerie. It follows their relationship and the world around them. Jude and Caden are good together. Jude is a strong willed character. None of the characters are perfect and you see them evolve and reflect. 
To Kill A Kingdom by Alexandra Christo
Lira is siren royalty. Every year she takes the heart of a prince for her birthday. Her mother, the Sea Queen, punishes Lira after she commits a crime. She is turned into a human. Humans are hated by sirens. Lira is tasked with delivering Prince Elian’s heart to her mother as forgiveness. Prince Elian hunts sirens. He rescues Lira from drowning in the sea which is how they first meet. This is a favorite book of mine. Lira is a strong character and stands up to her mother. She’s flawed but realizes her flaws and evolves. Prince Elian is a good person, and truly cares about others. Lira and Elian are a good team, and very likable characters.
