Your age gap writings are so good! Can you write something where the reader is in her 20s in college and Jake protects her from hate from fans or maybe one of his friends is like 'She's way too young for you and she isnt famous or trying to be famous so why are you with her???' and Jake just shuts them down
Thank you so much, babyy <3
I've got a taste for men who are older, can't help it.... 😔

It was a hot summer day. You were outside by the pool, book open in front of you as the sun burned your skin. You were finally relaxing after an exhausting semester in college.
Poor Jake, though, couldn't join you. He had a lot of things to solve about upcoming projects... you weren't complaining, you were extremely proud. And why would you even complain? Most days he worked from home. He sat with his laptop at the kitchen table, which was separated from the pool area by a glass door, that allowed him to enjoy the view of you in a bikini, living your best life. Well, you earned it, college can be really rough.
More often than not, you would tease him. Like when he was taking an important call and your bikini top would accidentally fall off... or when you (also accidentally) made eye contact with him while enjoying your popsicle a little too much... and all that would lead to him delaying his work just a little bit.
But tomorrow would be different. A few people on his team would come over for a meeting. So you told him you would just hide in the bedroom until they were finished. He insisted that the meeting shouldn't stop you from enjoying your time however you liked, but you said you preferred it that way. Not only you wouldn't feel comfortable having foreigner eyes on you, but you also didn't want to embarrass Jake... you knew by the comments you've been reading the kind of things people called you. You didn't want to give anyone any evidence that you were irresponsible or bad for his career.
-
So, by the time everyone arrived the next day, you were comfortably snuggling on your pillows, searching for something to watch on tv. Or some background noise for you to nap to.
Meanwhile, Jake was downstairs, discussing important things with his crew.
The meeting itself didn't take too long. But as everyone was saying goodbye, one of his oldest friends, who worked on his image's management asked him if it was okay for him to stay a little longer, so they could speak privately. Jake didn't mind and didn't think much of it... after all, they knew each other for a very long time, and would often talk about non-work related things.
"Hey, man." Jake greeted him as soon as the last person walked out. "Sit down, want something to drink?"
"No, I'm okay, I won't take too long, actually." The man replied in a very serious tone. "There's just something that a few of us been talking about and... we really didn't want to bring it up during the meeting, because it's quite delicate."
Jake's face fell. He had been so happy these last days... and the meeting was so successful, he didn't expect to have any trouble soon.
"Actually..." The man continued, as there was no response from Jake. "No one really wanted to bring it up, but... I'm your friend, am I not? I knew I had to."
"What's going on?" Jake asked, trying to get him to go straight to point, instead of explaining himself over and over again.
"It's about Y/N." He said at once. "Listen, man... I know you, I know you're in love and you're happy, but..."
"Hey, don't start." Jake felt his blood boil as he brought your name up. "I know what people say about her. But they don't know her. And neither do you."
"Jake, man..." he shook his head, hands on his waist as he tried get into Jake's head. "Come on, we all know how much shit starts with you don't know her, she's different..."
"Well, and you know that people on the internet are just waiting for opportunity to misinterpret something... at least you should know, since it's your job." Jake shrugged. "I mean... how many times did we have to deal with this?"
"Jake, I'm not talking as someone worried about your career. I know that these comments will die when they find someone else to cancel." He explained. "I'm talking as someone who's worried about you. You know how these girls are... maybe she finds a richer guy before the comments die, you know."
"Get out of my house." Jake closed his eyes and counted to ten, trying to keep his voice low.
"Come on, man..."
"Get the fuck out." He repeated. "If you leave right now, you're just fired. If I have to ask again, I'll make a few phone calls just to make sure you won't be getting another job anytime soon."
"You know what?" The man raised both hands in the air and chuckled. "You do whatever you want, I'm just trying to warn you..."
The look on Jake's face made him walk through the door without saying anything else.
Jake's body felt heavy and he allowed it to fall on the sofa. His heart ached. How could anyone talk about his princess that way? People didn't know how sweet and caring and kind you were. People didn't know how happy you made him.
"Fuck it." He rolled his eyes.
He was stressed and decided to take the rest of the day off. Take the day off to enjoy your company. You relaxed him like nothing else and nobody knew shit about you.
The eager manner he opened the bedroom door made you jump.
"Sorry, baby." He spoke as he climbed up the bed, resting his head on your chest. He left out a frustrated sigh.
"Oh no, what happened?" Your arms automatically wrapped around him. He looked exhausted.
"Just had to fucking fire someone." He replied, feeling his skin crawl. It made him even more angry to remember that asshole's words now, while he was being comforted by you. "Sexist piece of shit."
"Why?" Your eyes widened. He told you it would be a simple meeting... you would never expect things to end this way.
"I don't really wanna talk about it right now." He knew that if he told you, it would ruin your day. It would hurt your feelings, you would get insecure and maybe even feel a little guilty, which you absolutely didn't deserve. "But you could make me feel better, pretty princess."
Your face visibly lit up at the possibility. And that sparkle on your eyes made Jake regret not punching that guy on the face.
"Why don't you put your bikini on, darling?" He suggested. "Wanna spend the rest of the day by the pool with you, how does that sound?"
"Really?" You smiled at him, warming up his heart. "Just you and me, no work?"
"No work." He promised, returning your smile. "Hurry up, angel. I'll be downstairs waiting for you."
You didn't waste any time. You ran to the bathroom to put on your cutest bikini. One Jake himself bought you. You loved it when looking pretty for him could solve his problems. You felt so powerful.
When you were ready, you wrapped a towel around your body and went downstairs. From the kitchen, you could see him inside the pool. His hair was wet and the way he was breathing indicated he had swam a few laps already. You bit your lip. The roles were reversed at that moment. Now you were the one who was appreciating how the sun hit his wet skin so beautifully. His breathtaking body. God, no man your age looked like that.
But his beauty wasn't all that caught your eye. He also looked so stressed. And he tried to hide it as soon as he noticed you approaching the pool.
You tossed your towel on a chair and sat on the edge of the pool, feeling the water cover the lower half of your legs. He swan closer to you and placed his hands on your knees, which you took as sign to spread your legs. As soon as you did, he stood between them and cupped your cheeks with both hands, placing a sweet kiss on your nose.
You shivered as drops of cold water rolled down his fingers through your neck.
"I love you." He said, out of nowhere. "You make me so fucking happy."
"I love you too." You smiled, placing your hands on top of his, still on your face.
His hands went to your waist and he caught how your body reacted, letting out a laugh.
"What? Water is so cold..." you felt relieved by seeing him laugh.
"It kinda is." He admitted, and you knew that look in his eyes. He had an idea. "Why don't you come here and keep me warm, huh?"
"Alright, but give me a minute." You took a deep breath.
"Take your time, baby, I'm yours all day today." He leaned down, spreading your legs a bit more so he could place little kisses on the inside of your thighs, dangerously close to what your bikinis barely covered. "In fact, I'm yours all the time. Everyday. Even when I'm not here, you're all I think about."
"Yeah?" You bit your lip, bringing your hand to the back of his head, grabbing his hair very gently.
"I do." He continued his trail of kisses as he wanted to make sure not an inch of your thighs wouldn't feel loved. "If I could have my mouth on you all day I would, princess. For the rest of my life..."
He grabbed your thighs, making you move foward a bit. Then he used two fingers to pull your bikini panties to the side before getting his tongue on you. He licked your folds up and down slowly, like he was trying to discover what you tasted like. Like he didn't have you for breakfast that very morning. And the way his tongue began to work afterwards, hungrily, in and out of your hole, indicated he liked it very much.
He used his other hand to finger you, one finger in and out slowly, until he felt he could accommodate two, and as your moans got louder, he began curling them inside of you, all while he licked and sucked on your clit with passion.
Your hips bucked against his face and you pulled his hair, trying not to fall inside the pool, since you were dangerously close to the edge.
"Jake!" you gasped loudly. "Gonna cum, gonna cum..."
His mouth was working too hard on your clit and no force in the universe could make him stop at that moment, so he wasn't really able to reply, but you took that as a sign that he really wanted you to. And you did. You screamed his name, pulling his hair hard enough to make him moan against your core. When you were finished, you had to push him away, cause he didn't want to stop.
"Please... it hurts, too sensitive..." you begged.
He separated his mouth from you, wearing an unbearably gorgeous grin. Then he removed his fingers, immediately sucking them clean.
"Taste so fucking good, baby, can't help it, want more..."
"Fuck, Jake, I..."
"It's okay, princess. Won't you join me?" He helped you fix your bikini as if nothing had happened.
"I will, turn around."
He immediately understood what you meant. He turned his back to you and you hopped on it like a koala, gasping as you felt the water involving your whole body, arms and legs wrapping tighter around Jake's body.
"Easy, baby, you'll get used to it." He chuckled, moving around the pool with you in his back.
He was right, soon enough you felt your body relax against his.
"See, I'm keeping you warm." You said, kissing his shoulder.
"Oh, sweet girl..." he laughed. "That's not what I meant."
Your eyes widened at the realization. "Oh... I'm sorry, I'm so stupid."
"You're not stupid. You're my sweet, innocent little girl, aren't you?" He comforted you.
"I guess..." you felt your face grow warmer.
You untangled yourself from him, feet touching the floor. He turned around to face you.
"You're so pretty." He murmured, touching your face softly.
"Wanted to look pretty for you." You smirked. "Make you forget all your worries."
"You did it." His hand wrapped softly around your neck. "You're such a good girl for it."
"Hmm..." you started feeling him through his swimming shorts. "You're so hard."
"Yes, pretty girl. You did this." He brought his lips to yours, brushing softly as you reached inside his shorts.
His hands went to your hips and he kissed you to distract you from the fact he was getting rid of your bikini panties, then threw them somewhere outside the pool, keeping an eye contact that was enough to make you clench around nothing. He pulled his shorts down just enough to free his cock.
"Ready, baby?" He asked sweetly and you nodded. "Don't move, okay? Stay very still and relax."
You wrapped your legs around him and he entered you slowly. When he was all the way in, he stopped everything, just held you tightly.
"Just wanna relax with my pretty girl today." He said, giving your forehead a kiss. "Cock buried deep inside her, where it belongs."
It was the way he spoke the dirtiest things in the sweetest tone that always drove you crazy. That made you wanna bounce on his cock like no tomorrow. That made you moan under your breath, but he always, always heard you.
"What's wrong, princess?" He mocked.
"You're so fucking hot..." you almost cried as you watched him lift your bikini top and pinch your nipples.
"So cockdrunk and I didn't even fuck you properly." He kept playing with your tits.
"Please..." you whined.
"Y/N, it hasn't been 5 minutes." He kissed your neck. "Be patient, I thought you were a good girl... I just need a break, can't you see that?"
"I'm sorry." You moaned. "But... but you can take a break, and maybe I could move, just me?"
"Come on, you can do better than that." He laughed at how incoherent you sounded. "I know you know how to beg, baby. Just say the words, you have to be more clear."
He pinched your nipples again as he saw you hesitate.
"Jake, fuck!" You moaned in pain, feeling your pussy squeeze him. "Let me sit on your cock, PLEASE. I will be good, I promise..."
"That's better." He removed himself from you, earning protests. "Calm down, baby, I'm gonna do what you asked, unless you wanna be a brat..."
You bit your lip, to keep quiet.
He fixed his shorts and got out of the pool, signaling with his hand for you to follow him, and you did, like an obedient puppy obsessed with it's owner.
He sat on a chair, beside the pool, legs spread, waiting for you. You had to take a moment to appreciate his body again. His hairy chest, with a matching beard. He was so big... his thighs, his posture so masculine. The way he looked so intimidating, but was the softest when it came to you... he was perfect.
Soon enough you were standing between his legs. He kept eye contact with you as he got rid of your bikini top, directing his mouth to your tits as he grabbed your ass with both hands, hard enough to leave a mark.
"You're so fucking gorgeous." His voice was filled with lust as he spoke. "Gonna be a good girl and sit on my cock now?"
"Yes, fucking love your cock..." you agreed, feeling dumb as you saw it throb when he pulled it out of his pants.
"You're such a dirty girl, saying things like that... I mean, I know you love my cock, but jesus..." he mocked you with a smirk, helping your straddle him.
"Don't like it when I talk dirty, daddy?" You asked innocently.
"Fucking love it, baby, can't you see my cock throbbing? Come on, angel, make daddy cum like you promised, be good to me..."
He didn't even finish his words before you managed to get it inside of you, moaning at how good he stretched you.
You started moving up and down at a nice pace, knowing both of you were just too horny for games. Knowing that you only had the illusion of being on control because you were on top... but he could make you regret the smallest teasing.
"Fuck..." he moaned both at your movements and the sight of your tits boucing.
One of his hands cupped one of your breasts as the other one went to your hip, a sign that he wanted it harder. And you gave it to him harder.
"You're so good to me, such a pretty baby... you're gonna make me cum."
"Need you to!" You already looked and sounded like a mess, boucing on his cock as fast as you could, feeling your pussy start to squeeze him. "Need to you to cum inside, daddy..."
"Of course, baby, you deserve it, yeah?" Both his hands were now on your hips, handling you like a doll. "All of daddy's cum belongs to this pretty pussy..."
You cried out as you came again. So much harder. And he just kept thrusting hard, his thighs hitting your ass made a sound so loud you could barely hear him.
And then he came too, as deep as he could. He rested on the chair, breathing heavily and you collapsed on his chest. A few minutes of the most absolutely perfect peace he felt in days filled the air, and he breathed it in.
Not even your whines and protests when he pulled out could interrupt it, he just chuckled.
"Shhh it's okay, little one." He said sweetly. "Just wanna take care of my princess."
You accepted, feeling safe as he wrapped a towel around your body and stood up with you still in his arms. He carried you bridal style to the bedroom.
"Waaait! No!" You laughed as he tried to put you down on the bed. "We're still wet!"
"That doesn't matter, we'll change the sheets afterwards, come on..." he rolled his eyes. "Just wanna look at you for a second."
"You've been looking at me a lot these days..." you mocked him. "Watching me through that glass door, I see you pretending to work..."
"It's just hard to believe you're mine." He admited, intertwining his fingers with yours. "I'm afraid you'll disappear if I look away."
"That's right, I'm yours... and I'm not going anywhere." You promised, placing a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you, Jake."
You had no idea how much he needed to hear that. Of course he knew it, but having moments like this, so intimate, even more than the sex they just had, gave him strength to face all the bullshit people said about you and him. Cause in the end, this is what he was coming home to. He felt safe.
"I love you so much, my princess."

Amnesia!Dabi: Honestly, how do you think the rest of the LoV would take Dabi's "betrayal"? Like, are we going CC, & Dabi eventually takes half in the divorce? Do they understand his reasoning but stay put? Are they mad at him, think he overreacted? Heck, do they think he infiltrated the heroes, & he might still be on their side? (Is this still Dabi/Hawks? How do they meet if Dabi isn’t Hawks's contact?)
Some of this might depend on if Dabi told them the amnesia story. I think he would, partly from starting to trust the group and partly because his whole reason for joining really boils down to trying to find himself, and he'd need to tell them so they can look for leads.
It might be a while before they find out that Toya jumped ship.
Like they know that Dabi and Himiko don't manage to meet up with them. They hope they got away, but know there's a chance they got caught and arrested.
But it'd be weird because they'd expect to hear about the arrest in the news, but the news still says they're both at large. In reality it's being kept quiet because Himiko is a child and they're sorting out Dabi's situation.
The first they'd probably hear is that eventually a news story breaks about Toya being found, so if his face is in the news they go ????. At first they'd assume he was spying on them and that the amnesia was a lie, but then the news reports that Toya still has the amnesia. So they guess that he probably remembered enough to be able to go home and..... well. They can't fault a guy for wanting to go back to his family instead of being /here/
(a lot of them are kinda..... they'd like to jump ship because they're starting to realize that AfO is Real Damn Bad™ and not just the 'gotta break some laws to make change' type of thing they were promised at first. But they're attached to each other and don't have anywhere safer to go, and are still hopeful on the 'we can change society by doing this')
That said.... they are still a bit concerned for him. Dabi did show trauma responses that were still intact despite the lack of memory. He might be somewhere technically 'safer' than the League, but they don't know if this is what's going on. (They also don't know /who/ hurt him, just that he was hurt, and they def don't know that the family's been getting better).
They don't get an update on Himiko for a while, but they can't imagine Dabi abandoning her. So they figure he probably took the chance that he'd be able to protect her while getting her help. That's kinda confirmed because the whole case with her parents also makes the news of how her parents are being arrested for how they treated her and that most of the charges against Himiko are being cleared in a 'she was literally fighting for her life' kinda way.
I think in the long run we'd end up in something similar to the 'Toya takes the league in the divorce' but I do want things to be a bit more different in this AU so I think maybe one by one the members jump ship from the main group and kinda. They manage to stay in contact with one another and come back to help Deal With Shit™ but they're not around as much. Obvs Shigaraki would be the one that stays, due to the *gestures at his whole thing* but I think even he starts to get to a point where he thinks things might be fucked and the only reason he hasn't jumped ship somehow is because AfO would hunt him down if he did.
Re: Hawks
While I like the romance, I think I'll hold off on it for a bit. Toya really needs to work on his situation and recovering more of himself. And while I /am/ a sucker for these two being a hot mess bad idea that shouldn't work but somehow does... I really do think this time around, especially with the support network, they'd step back from that. They do interact plenty given that Hawks is low-key being dragged into the family too, but this would be more slowburn(ha!).
Hawks would still be ordered to go undercover with the LoV but.... well. The League kinda catches on from the beginning that he's probably there to spy on them. But they don't care because Hawks is access to Dabi and Himiko and being able to check on them.
I think Hawks would also be aware that they know he's a spy and they all just kinda. Talk around it.

hey there ! i love love looove your akito fics 🤍 and as a akito lover, i would like to request where they both get into an arguement ? akito says something harsh on accident (due to frustration obvs) and reader just cries and walks out to take a breather but akito gets nervous and thought reader literally left (as in broke up) him ? happy ending ofc <33 keep up the good woork !!
pop pop pop you want it~ thanks for your patience since i took so long to complete this req (●´⌓`●) i'll work extra hard on it <3
Tumblr media
Arguments
Akito Shinonome
"I didn't need you to step in. I could have handled it myself just fine."
"You clearly couldn't! Both you and I know that." You rolled your eyes, completely pissed at Akito. You were merely just trying stop him from going all out on the people who were talking shit about vbs. Of course you were angry at them too but you didn't want things to turn violent.
"You didn't have to apologise for me. You didn't have to do anything." Akito scoffed at you. You were literally about to blow your top.
"Me? Do nothing?! It was just gonna get worse! What- I was just trying to help. You don't have to be so pissy about it."
"Ha. If you didn't want someone 'pissy' like me then you should just get back with your ex."
The moment Akito heard those words come out of his mouth, he immediately regretted it. Tears were streaming down your cheeks as you glared at him with blurred vision. Did he really just say that?
"Hey- Wait- No- I'm sorry- I didn't mean it-"
"Yeah sure." You mumbled as you yanked open the door and walked out, letting the door slam shut behind you. You quickly wiped your tears away as you walked out of your house, letting the cool night air hit your face, sniffling every now and then. All you needed was a walk to clear your head.
Akito, on the other hand, was a wreck. He knew he shouldn't have said that out of frustration. He never wanted to hurt you and seeing you cry and walk out like that made him increasingly worried.. What if you really left him? What if you hated him? He just couldn't think of life without you.
He stood right in front of the door hoping you would come back. What if you don't? Should he go out to find you? Should he call you? What if you got hurt? What if you didn't want to see his face?
He didn't want you hating him more than you already do.
Maybe you already decided you'd break up with him..
The panic in him was overwhelming. After all, he could only blame himself.
Just then you came back (from petting stray cats cos who can stay angry at cats /ᐠ。ꞈ。ᐟ\), to see Akito standing right at the door, shocked. He really didn't expect you to come back. He immediately pulls you towards him and wraps his arms tightly around you, afraid to let go. He mumbles 'i'm sorry, i'm sorry, im sorry' over and over again.
You were still a little upset over what he said but you hug him and pat his back.
"Hey, it's ok, I'm sorry for shouting at you too. It's alright."
He looks worriedly at you.
"So... we're not over..?"
"Who said we were? We can work through this :)"
ack sorry for taking so long to do this req tq for your patience ( ◜‿◝ )♡

Your ™ (aside from faramir obv) is how unhinged you are about denethor AND having the most correct takes abt him🧡. Oh and also oranges maybe
AAAA...THANK YOU ??? THIS KNOCKED ME FLAT like for real i cannot express how much ive been thinking about this ask all day. like i was in the grocery store thinking about it. i cant decide if it's funnier if you've been here since i was 19 and a hater and watched me have my dramatic change of heart in real time or if youre new here and don't know my tragic backstory. TO ME it's hilarious to be assigned denethor girl bc like teenage me is having a heart attack but i bear the badge with pride nevertheless <3333 and thats what we call character growth!
pj had totally got me with the mad-and-vindictive-with-despair denethor gambit for years and years but literally i started working on the faramir goes to rivendell au and thought for about two seconds about how complex both faramir and boromir's relationships with their father are and how the film changes genuinely weaken all of their characters so much and did a total 180 degree turn on a dime. by doing denethor dirty i would automatically be doing faramir dirty and then i started thinking and went hang on a second he is so complex and interesting actually. like i can't emphasize how much that was the exact logic that allowed me to achieve this development.
i mean okay LISTEN TO ME oh my GOD denethor IS a good leader there's a reason why gondor stood so long alone against the enemy and he NEARLY fucking beat SAURON in 30 years worth of head-to-head knock-down-drag-out psychic stalemate warfare and he only falls into despair when he loses both of his sons. you don't need to like him to respect the achievement!
i almost put a read more here but fuck it denethorposting on main. hit j on your keyboard or do a big scroll if youre sick of me LOL
i am very well known for going totally feral over duty vs love dynamics and that is literally what is going on between denethor and his sons. he cannot be their father and their commander at the same time and they are at war!!! being their commander has to win out above all else!!! whether any of them like it or not!!! do you know what ruthlessness means do you understand that duty wins this one.
do u guys understand that denethor and faramir are a father and son who love each other above else and yet do not like each other at all. there was a schism somewhere there along the line and love without bitterness and political sniping and ideological misalignment is a DISTANT MEMORY. No Of Course He Shouldn't Have Said He Wished Faramir And Boromir's Places Exchanged Jesus Christ No Son Should Have To Hear That From Their Father But Girl Sometimes When You're Grieving You Say Stupid Shit That You Shouldn't Have. doesn't mean you should've said it but [pippin voice] we can understand poor denethor a bit better, huh?
its just so interesting to me to think about faramir and denethor's relationship from a standpoint of like. ok listen good stewards that are not good fathers and dutiful sons who will not compromise their moral compasses for love. i don't like you and i agree with approximately 1% of everything you've said ever and your expectations of me have always been unreasonably high even when i was a child but you also are the only person who could ever understand the terrifying psychic powers that just live inside my brain and you are probably the incarnation of lordly dignity and power that i have had and i have wanted to emulate all my life and i still have the instinct to ask for your approval even if i'm going to hate what you're going to say. and when i'm dying i will call out for you. and i don't like you and your moral compass is going to get you and me and everyone in our city killed and you haven't listened to a single thing i've said since you were fourteen and i fucking hate that you're listening to and trusting the fucking wizard over me but you are my best captain and you are everything that i wished i could've been without the war and you'll never understand that that's why i pushed you so hard i just wanted you to live. and if you couldn't live at least we could die together. LISTEN i am a faramir girl until the death you all KNOW THIS BUT THESE TWO THINGS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE- [i am forcibly yanked offstage]

Started watching From Scratch on netflix with the intention of supercorpifying it, but I'm getting the sense that the majority of what I want out of it was contained in the first episode of the series. I don't know if I want to watch a bunch of unnecessary drama.
That said, the story is about a girl whose family expects her to go to law school ends up taking 6-week break to do an art course in Florence. There she meets a high falutin' gallery owner who romances her, but also a down to earth, passionate chef who steals her heart. Of course, she and the chef don't date immediately. The chef shows her around the city, helps her fall in love with the beauty of the place, and eventually unwittingly inspires her to admit she wants to make art her living, instead of law.
Which she confesses to her parents when they come to visit her towards the end of her stay in Italy. She takes them to the chef's restaurant where they're served the most amazing food, and when the chef comes out to speak with them, he assumes that she brought her parents to meet him. But then the gallery owner shows up and it turns out that he was supposed to be eating dinner with them all along, but was delayed.
Which rubs the chef the wrong way, who tells our girl that they shouldn't spend anymore time together, since he feels something between them, but if she doesn't want to act on it then it's too painful for him to be with her and not connect in the way he feels they should.
After some soul searching, she dumps the gallery owner, gets selected to showcase her art at the prestigious final art show, and when the chef comes to congratulate her, she asks him to come by her apartment that night to talk.
The chef doesn't commit to obliging, but she waits by the window anyway, hoping he'll come. He does. They kiss in the rain and then make love. The next morning, the day she's supposed to leave, he tells her that they can't end things now, not when they've only just started.
But she has to go back to America.
The chef smiles. He can cook anywhere in the world.
---
So, Lena as the chef. Obvs. Leather jacket, motorcycle helmet for her vespa, the works. In the show he's a native Italian, but I'm thinking for Lena she could be part of the Luthor dynasty, who broke away from the family mold to come to Italy to cook as soon as she was able. Which would make her not a native, but an experienced local with lots of friends and a reputation in the area.
Kara of course would be the artist. Struggling with finding her identity and career path, knowing the expectations on her but wanting to follow her heart. Nervous at first and zeroed in on her art program, but eventually coaxed into having a good time by Lena. Maybe the gallery owner could be a Mon-el stand in. It's casual for Kara but more serious for him (or at least he expects her to be serious about him). Not a bad guy, just a little out of touch.
Lena and Kara meet by bumping into each other on the street. Lena pretends to not speak English (she speaks perfect Italian), and watches amusedly as Kara stumbles through what little Italian she knows to apologize. Lena's trick doesn't last long, and though they split ways soon after, they meet again at the club where Kara works off the books to cover her room and board during her program. Lena offers to walk her home, and though Lena makes her interest known, Kara decides to remain committed to the gallery owner.
Lena is bummed, but they remain friends. Lena shows her the city and they continue to develop oodles of chemistry. Lena even cooks for Kara when she invites her and her temporary roommates to dinner at her restaurant.
And then, of course, the drama happens and in the end Lena shows up outside Kara's apartment in the rain. When Kara emerges to meet her, no words are spoken. They come together in a collision of bodies and lips, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Can we talk for a second about how Piper isn't good Aphrodite kid rep? I don't wanna sound like a hater! But even though the children of Aphrodite are often treated like a joke (*smacks Riordan with my makeup bag*), they actually do have their own canonical powers related to love, attraction, and beauty. But Piper doesn't demonstrate any of them (except for her "kaleidoscope eyes" since Aphrodite kids can canonically change their hair and eye colors if they want), only Charmspeak. But while Charmspeak is a rare power for an Aphrodite kid to have, it's not unique to them. Anyone who learns magic can Charmspeak like Circe and Medea. When describing her past to Annabeth, she thought Piper could be an Hermes kid because she said she could be persuasive which Hermes and his kids could be (implication that Hermes kids could Charmspeak?), not to mention Piper would steal things to get her dad's attention. If it wasn't clear that her godly parent was female, then Piper would make more sense as an Hermes kid. Given that the series treats girly-girls/any girl who has a personality that's not "aloof, rough, and tsundere with a soft side" really poorly (and not even the tomboyish female leads are treated that well), it shouldn't be a surprise that Piper doesn't use any power specifically tied to her mother's domain of love. This just makes Piper come off as an Aphrodite kid in name only. - 💄 anon
I feel like everytime you step up to bat (the gossip column) you just pull that baseball bat back and hit a homer. your batting average is insane.
baseball metaphor aside, I do think that piper's uniqueness is obv integral to her character but also just lowk a result of Rick writing himself into a hole. Because he characterized aphrodite kids as "aloof rough etc" like you said and when it came to creating a new character that was a child of Aphrodite he needed to subvert that to appeal to the "girl power" that Piper ended up embodying (the success of that is a different conversation). Just thinking about it, I think that in the time that TLH came out making Piper into a the quintessential aphrodite kid would have flopped so bad bc the badass teen heroine trope was on the rise. And compare that to Annabeth? Like Piper would have been hated so much more.
At the same time though, I'd argue that the subverison of the aphrodite kid stereotype has more weight on the story. Because Piper doesn't rly belong and tbh none of the lost trio do (i mean, they stay in chb for maybe just over a year combined? And then they all just kinda disperse across the country. Or die in jasons case lol) and the lack of an obvious commonality as an anchor just drives home the fact that Piper is "other". Which works so well bc she doesn't rly have that sense of loyalty to CHB esp in TLH (she sticks to what she knows). I just don't see HOO hitting the same if piper didn't carry the ruggedness she has.
But to the point of charmspeak, yeah, if you learn the magic you can do it but I think her use of charmspeak as a testament to her character is more important than just having it, as illustrated by Drew v Piper in TLH.
Additionally I think she certainly shares traits w the rest of the cabin like her stubbornness and her affinity (almost need tbh) for romance.
As an aside, that's kinda why I have a love hate relationship w the contrast between Drew and Piper. Because I like that both sides apparent, but I would like to see the middle ground of being an aphrodite kid, like w Lacy or Mitchell.
Overall though, it is rly curious that Piper's powers hve nothing to do w love/appearance.... esp considering jiper was huge to the plot of tlh and hoo AND that her appearance is commented on often ("You're a knockout")
tl;dr: rick dropped the ball as we know, but it does add dimension to piper's character.

"I spent a lot of time defending fan girls but maybe I was wrong" this angered me so much because it implies that you know exactly who is taking the brunt of the drama and yet, you're still siding against them. I get defending your friend, but it wasn't just about that one journalist because there were a dozen tweets identical to that one and in reaction to that one made by troll accounts who's only objective was to anger the fangirls. So by defending your friend and calling out "the fangirls" you're defending all these troll accounts. And then later in the day when those troll accounts got bored of messing with the leclerc fangirls and decided to turn on you and found your blog and are tearing you apart in their little incel groups and group chats you want to act the victim. You told the fangirls to block and ignore but now when the misogyny that you spent the day defending is working against you, then it's suddenly a problem. Nope it doesn't work like that. This is the culture that you defended when you said that "fan girls" shouldn't have reacted, should learn to take a joke. This is what happens when you defend any little pushback as harassment and abuse, the actual harassment goes unchecked. Sorry that this person had to learn the hard way that, as a woman, siding with the misogynists will never work out for you.
There is always behaviour that crosses lines. These idiots exist in every single larger fan base. and I won't condone that.
But yes.
Because that joke was also incredibly disrespectful to Gio. Nobody is making that comparison/ joke to big up Gio. None of them are doing that. They are doing it to talk down on Charles which implies that Gio the "bad driver" won something. The man just won le mans why shit on him? And nobody even mentions Pier Guidi and Calado.
When you dish out on the internet then you have to be able to deal with getting some back (obvs nobody should be actually abusive and cross lines)
But if you spent so much time praising the passion of young female fans you don't get to do a 180 back into misogyny just because your friend was dumb and got caught up.

phd student here (just advanced to candidacy): i honestly feel like academia is meant to break us. my first advisor bullied me into almost committing suicide, and it's been ROUGH... but that said? i think you finishing your degree in spite of everything matters so fucking much. both on a grand scale (academia needs more people from "untraditional" educational and life experiences) and a minor scale (proving something to yourself and to the people around you who've played a part in breaking you). i believe in you because i believe in me. fighting is hard, but sometimes things turn a corner when you least expect it—networking at a conference i didn't even want to go to accidentally solved a big gap in my advising situation.
sending all the best vibes in your direction. you are smart, capable, and will end up in the right place eventually. academia destroys souls, and you're not alone. ❤️
Hey ❤️❤️
I like seeing it from that side. Maybe not doing it AS well as I could have if I'd have the circumstances other ppl write theirs in (I started mine first with a rejection of my initial topic,then switching to a topic I had taken NO courses or associated courses on, and all of this while I had the very real concerns I might have cervical cancer as a trans man... the day I found out I didn't was the day I found out my supervisor would be leaving, leaving me with about 10 weeks to write a MA thesis which obvs didn't happen and then shit REALLY hit the fan). I wouldn't consider anyone else's grade under my circumstances a true reflection of what they're worth, either. I should add that my MA program is a research master, preparing you for academia and after which you'd move on to a 3-4 yr PhD program in my country. If your grades and project are good enough, of course. Mine? Aren't.
I applied to some PhD programs last yr but only major/big name unis and I think that might have been a mistake too. I had an interview and everyone there sounded so smart, had so much background, and I'm from the countryside with parents that barely finished their high schools (with levels that wouldn't get anyone into uni).
But yeah. You're right. In the end this is one grade, and it's a passing grade, and I... I mean I won't get into a big name uni with this rn and I don't think I wanna pursue a PhD rn anyway just because of all the pain but also the backlog I have compared to everyone else there. I just really wanna figure out a way to stay involved in academia without ending up in this locked down situation where, as you say, there's an attempt to break down everyone that doesn't fit the way the established order thinks we should.
It's just super difficult to keep believing in yourself when you're turned down and turned away at every junction in your life. After so many years (I'm 31 now) it's just. There's a point where it feels too much. At the same time I took an entrance exam to uni at 21 which I failed, and which I took to be a sign I shouldn't pursue uni at all. Clearly I was wrong there. I just.
I just wish there were more ways of learning than just the one specific kind universities (and high schools for that matter) dictate rn.
I also wish you the best of luck in your own degree, now and in the future! I know a PhD is another step up from a MA and I cannot imagine how rough it must've been for you especially with your first advisor. You don't deserve that (and lbr no one does). If you ever want a listening ear abt what you're working on, even if it's something I know nothing about, feel free to contact me!

2: thoughts on veganism?
well i became a vegetarian at age 2 because i thought eating meat was so mean to animals. and i've basically maintained that ever since (except for very occasionally eating fish & also sometimes eating gelatin). for a while it was a matter of principle either bc of animal cruelty or because of environmental reasons and i felt bad about not going vegan but the idea of cutting out eggs and dairy was simply too much for me. but at this point. i really can't see compelling reasons to be vegetarian/vegan. like i think that "humans are capable of living without consumption of animal products and also are capable of having a sense of morality more complex than 'this is just how the food chain works' and therefore shouldn't eat animals" is a valid point of view but it's not one i find compelling. like i just don't think eating animals is morally wrong even if other options are avalible 🤷🏻‍♀️. obviously there's still a point to be made about the animal cruelty and environmental impact of the meat/dairy industry but i don't know that boycotting it is a tangible solution? not to be like there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but i really don't see this getting better until we abolish capitalism. or maybe i need to read more.
but for me personally, i find it difficult to eat meat. it's just Something I Don't Do; i have a mental block against it. but for the last like 1.5 years i've been (very slowly) trying to get over the mental block for two reasons. first, i'm generally a picky eater so expanding my diet in any way is good. second, while my religious beliefs are. a topic for another ask. i feel like it's kinda lame that the extent to which i keep kosher is that im vegetarian. i am planning on having a kosher kitchen in my apartment next school year b"h but still. eating meat would add extra levels to keeping kosher bc i would only eat kosher meat and not have dairy until hours afterwards. i tried a kosher hot dog last week and it was such an interesting experience :) obv i could also increase my kashres observance by choosing to only buy food (including vegetarian food) with a hechscher and stop eating at treyf restaurants but. i don't wanna do that
6: do you use a watch?
yes! i got a watch for working at summer camp in 2021 (bc i wanted to know the time but didn't want to have to always be checking my phone) and ive worn it ever since <3 look at a picture of my watch tan i took a couple weeks ago im so proud of it
Tumblr media
7: what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?
everything of course but im gonna say clown fish bc we have the same name in hebrew!
26: how’s your spice tolerance?
it's bad. i mean like i said im generally a picky eater but yeah spices usually r not good 4 shosh
ask game!

Now on to my glasses. They retested me. Both eyes at the sametime then both eyes individually. Per me asking for it. They even did distance.
So my distance is absolutely correct. My reading they said bc I see no difference that I shouldn't do progressives. That's a good thing bc obv in my last post i went over cost, frame size and choices. It will save me a lot of money and allow me to wear my glasses more fashionably.. I got the Ray-Bans and then my two half frames. The only other pair I want is rimless bc for some reason I think they'll look good. I can't afford them atm... but maybe soon... if they look awful I'll return them.
The best part about not having to get progressives eye wear is I can keep my lense height nice and short! In that 29-31 range. I prefer that but these Ray-Bans are 34. Either way I like them.
The second best part is I was right, if I got progressives my eye sight would go drastically downhill and I'd be so beyond depend on glasses within a year or 2. My lenses would get more expensive. I'd be a blind bat and it's better to wait until it's at that point where there is a difference and i could actually benefit from them than deteriorating my eye sight rapidly.
Beyond that UNFORTUNATELY my eye wear company processed that they shipped my glasses. So they are not a freebie. I called and yea they know I got them. So I guess there are no Oakley Airdrops, unfortunately... as theses were 270$ and my two half frames were 51$ together..
I'm not happy they they weren't a freebie despite the fact that the nose area got more comfortable now, i dont notice the "pressure." The part behind my ears are squeezed when I wear them all day. I'm trying to stretch them out but they seem unbentable... maybe I will switch to Oakley air drops as they are straight in the arm area but then I got to return the Ray-Bans and the Oakley are heavier so I got to consider that...
I guess I got to look at it like this, the Ray-Bans or Oakley if I decide to switch, are an investment in my future eye wear. When I get my new prescription in March 2025. I can get my insurance pair, I'm going to upgrade them to anti reflective and maybe polycarbonate but idk. Polycarbonate is 40$ extra. Anti reflective is 80$. The anti reflective is non-negotiable that's why i my old insurance pair seemed cloudly bc the anti reflective is put on both sides. I thought it was just for the viewer... and I was like who cares.. but it also controls reflections from my view point explaining the cloudiness.. although I got to make sure the frames are a perfect fit and style otherwise it isn't worth at least going anti reflective... I prob won't do polycarbonate.
But I kinda got off track. Instead of buying new frames whether I keep the Ray-Bans or switch to Oakley I'll go to a reputable eye wear company in town and have them replace the lenses. So the cost of the frames won't be a waste. I can wear them for years to come...it cost about 70-80 with low grade scripts. Obv I got to get the anti reflective with them and not from my eye wear place my insurance wouldn't cover replacing the lenses... I'll call around and find the best cost with the most perks for the lenses.
Then I'll probably buy a couple half frames and maybe a rimless in the new script as long as they are cheap. I really like being fashionable with my glasses since I have to wear them.
I still got to figure out if I should switch frames.. I'm going to keep bending them... idk if it'll work but it's annoying cause I can't apply too much pressure I can't afford to break them.
Also these are the rimless I'm considering.. I'm kinda mad at my eye wear company for 2 reasons they disregarded keeping my item on hold and fulfilled it anyways. And then the last employee I talked to was rude af and sighed at me. They are making me send them my script too... instead of trusting that my script is -.25 in both eyes... and the astigmatism in the right eye.
But yea. I hope I can try these frames and bend the Ray-Bans to be completely comfortable
These are 136 width so they could be tight. Also they are dorky but I kinda like them. I could always return them. Idk...

Libra Sun
Scorpio Moon
Capricorn Rising
Hi my love!! I want to preface this by saying that this is based on stuff that i have read and have noticed! If these don't apply to you im sorry😭 thank you so so much for sending this in, it's so fun for me <3
okayyy... I might have said i will judge, but come on you're a libraa! i love air signs<33 First of all, i have say you guys have such an alluring aura and give off such good vibes! Like libras are famous for their charm (and for being very effortlessly and casually flirty!). I would say u also love compliments when u receive them, it's sth that definitely stays w you! and (from personal experience as well) you are a sign that gives so much in relationships, whether that's romantic, platonic, it doesn't matter. Also it's so impressive to me how well u manage to understand others when they share problems, concerns etc- you really put yourself in the other person's shoes and that's why you're also someone people usually gravitate towards when they want someone to listen! As i mentioned, one of my bsfs is a libra and she's studying psychology! Even in arguments they'll be the person who will see and understand both sides but still firmly stand their ground when it comes to their opinions! I believe that a lot of times libras tend to need a bit of extra work regarding self confidence bc i feel like you downplay your achievements, which is so unfair btw!! I would say give yourself more credit for all your hard work<33 people around you appreciate you sm for who you are -and maybe let them give back to you more for all you give as well!
Now rising has to do a lot w how you appear to others! omggg i met this girl last week who's a cap rising, and i have to say y'all are so cool to the point where i don't even know how to come up and talk to you! Maybe a bit quiet at first, but then you feel comfortable around someone and it's like you've known each other for yearss! Capricorns, being an earth sign, tend to be very goal oriented, hard working and smarttt but also dare i say overthinkers as well? I just know you guys know lots of things (maybe about random topics but the moment they come up you sound the smartest in the room) and i could listen to u talk for hours! The most beautiful eyes and smile too i have to say<3 i will have to repeat tho! give yourself more credit love💗💗
FELLOW SCORPIO MOONNNN i love sharing this placement w people bc we bond over trauma basically! i want to give u a hug through the screen hahah this is so random and completely based on my opinion but i feel like you look amazing in black! scorpio moons pull it off the best i swear… also- (im sorry) you tend to bottle your emotions or invalidate them/ feel like you're being too much in situations, so u may decide u shouldn't voice how u feel! like even when you're going through very hard times you will do your best to hide it (cap rising works harddd) and then let it all out once you're alone! i see that a lot in myself too tbh, but it's important to express yourself always! for example, you don't have to have an "objectively good reason to be mad" to just be mad if that makes sense! if someone tells you u "shouldn't be feeling like this" they're just shit people honestly!! also you may be struggling w vulnerability in relationships (platonic/romantic). my advice (which i need to hear myself haha) is to let yourself be a bit more vulnerable one step at a time! and obv do it only when you're w someone that makes you feel heard! also maybee try and make your standards around things more realistic? it's hard af i knoww but you'll save yourself the disappointment of some things! also rejection scares us… like a lot….

im not trying to be mean forreal but you arent gonna have people rbing your stuff if you don't tag it! 2 give an example your most recent piece has 7 tags total, two of which are personal tags that no ones gonna search so lets say 5. in addition to the ones you included which werent bad you should also include stuff like the medium (ex: #traditional art) and of course #artists on tumblr. tagging aesthetics that fit also goes a long way. plus a (no guilt) caption requesting that people boost your work. something important to keep in mind with tumblr is that its really good for circulating art LONG term rather than most social media platforms which prioritize feeding the neverending ratrace for whatevers trending. I am in no way a big name artist but my most circulated posts come from people tag searching and queueing. obvs theres usually gonna be the most attention over the first few days but also give it time! don't be afraid to repost or find niches who will circulate your stuff. post art and then link it in oc discords, too this isnt meant to admonish you btw more it makes me sad to see you get discouraged. you have a unique and compelling artstyle with genuinely swagful characters so the idea of you peacing out saddens my heart. i hope this helps, cya
Hey first off. I genuinely appreciate this, I am ngl I knew I shouldn't have posted that last night cuz I knew I'd be embarrassed about it later and well!! Here I am, feeling like a damn fool!! Sincerely tho, your words do mean a lot.
However, the one thing that trips me up is that back when I did use Tumblr more regularly, like several years ago, they had made it so that only the first five tags on a post were searchable, and everything else wasn't visible in tag searches. Has this changed? It's been a long time and I have no idea what's changed with Tumblr in the past few years but I've just been operating on the assumption that only the first five tags "count." Also I am just ... Not good at knowing what to tag things other than in the most straightforward way possible 😬
I definitely absolutely get discouraged way way way too quickly and I acknowledge that, it comes from years of a building frustration of posting on social media and never feeling like it goes anywhere while also watching those around me grow their followings. It's come to a point where it feels like if something I post "fails" then it tanks my mood on a hair trigger. And it's not healthy!!! This is largely why I've stopped posting publicly anywhere. Bc the reaction I've built up is so instantaneous and intense that it's completely unhealthy for me. Sorry to vent at you!! It's all just sort of coming out. I've absolutely poisoned the way I view interaction on social media for myself and it feels very entrenched and I don't really know what to do about it.
I want to share my art with people and I want them to like my art and asking for reblogs directly on art posts is something that always felt gross to me but idk maybe that's what I gotta do. I have this notion in my mind tho that if my art is good and people like it, they'll reblog it because they want to, not because I asked them to. It doesn't feel like people are sharing my art bc they genuinely like it if they're doing it bc I asked them to. And then people don't reblog my art, so it gets interpreted as "well, I guess nobody thinks my art is very good, otherwise they'd want to share it!"
This all feels very immature of me and I hate that this is how I feel. I definitely am very deeply in the mindset now of "well, nobody appreciated my art much when I did post it, so now nobody gets to see it anymore." Idk how to grow past this tbh. I am absolutely only shooting myself in the foot. Oh well whatever!!!
Anyway. Thank you again for this, and also if you did actually read this, thank you for your time and energy. I don't think you were being mean at all, you said what is true, I think. I hope you have a lovely day.

Hey, sweetheart. Been missing you, work's been a real mess. David's been growling about something Christian screwed up with our clients and Ash is getting on me about actually needing to complete my share of the paperwork back at the office before David freaks again.
It'll be nice to have a few days off after this job though, we can have a night in together after it's all done if you manage to get the time off. Maybe a night at Max's for that double date we missed with Ash and his mate? Anyways, I'm gettin off topic, sorry. Hope your night is less messy than mine's been, sweetheart. I'll see you at home.
- Milo 🐾
HVCYKHVHYDFD I-
i've missed you too, love! god, i know what you mean about the paperwork, it's been no better on my end 😫😫 the screw-up with the clients can't be easy, but i thought you said you'd worked this event before...? so hopefully they shouldn't get too upset - they know that david (and the rest of you, obv) always sorts it out in the end 🤞🤞
you get back on... wednesday, right? i think ash said his mate is busy on wednesday and thursday, so we could do friday night - but only if you promise that we can get ice cream afterwards hehe 🥳🥳 take it easy, honey, and come back to me safe! i'm off for the whole weekend next week, and i can't wait to spend it with you 🥰🥰

ROAD TRIP WITH ENHYPEN's HYUNG LINE !
PAIRING: bf! hyung line enha x gn!reader. GENRE: established relationship, reaction, fluff, crack. WARNINGS: subtle mentions of car crash (in a joking manner). WORD COUNT: 200-300 words.
Tumblr media
HEESEUNG: driver's seat.
obv this man is the only one we can trust in driving, so even if he refuses to drive he doesn't have any other choice unless he wants the car doing breakdances on the road 🥰‼️‼️
STAY AWAKE AT ALL TIMES
if you fall asleep on him then you lose bestie i'm sorry to say this but you HAVE to talk with him the whole ride cause this man will actually ask you to pay him a few bucks by the end of the road trip.
well... Maybe you can sleep but that's only if you put up the aux for him so that when he's driving he can sing and listen to music <3
loves it when you're in the freeway and you guys are just vibing to the songs playing, ESP when the windows are down and there are barely any cars in the road
he'd actually stop the car on the side if you guys happen to pass by a really nice place while travelling and the both of you would take pics and all that stuff
likes it a lot when you hold his free hand while he's driving, it makes him feel really giddy inside. he might even place it on your thigh if he's ballsy enough
would most likely be the one to stop by the convience store and hog up all the ramen cause he just KNOWS you will be asking for food every once in a while and he is not about to spend like fifty dollars for your cravings 🙄🙄
UNLESS YOU PAY THO, HE'LL BE PARKING THE CAR TO THE FOOD PLACE AS SOON AS YOU SAY IT'S ON YOU
"riki can you change the song? I don't like this one"
'what you know about rolling down in the DEEP END–'
"NO NO STOP THE CAR ANYTHING BUT THAT 😭😭"
"hyung you're the one driving 🕴️"
don't ask why riki is in the car with you guys cause i also have no idea 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️
JAY: the only one allowed to touch the aux.
CANCEL IT, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING TO THE CAR
you're planning on doing a road trip? but jay says he's busy????
let me tell you, jay is the PERFECT road trip partner
not only does he have the most immaculate music taste, he knows how to make it fun and memorable.
the only con about it is that he might end up sleeping thru the first half of the trip, but you don't blame him for it tho, mans has a packed schedule 😔
#bookedandbusy #girlboss
he would drive the car, but...
he's still a bit scared of passing the highway esp when there's a bit of traffic going on, but don't tell him i said that 🤫🤫🤫🤫
since you're the one in the wheel, make sure that you practiced how to look good while driving cause by the end of the trip you WILL want him to be AS WHIPPED for you as before
maybe even drive with one hand and roll your sleeve up a bit if you're wearing one cause HE WILL BE LOOKING AT YOU WITH HEART EYES, I GUARANTEE YOU THAT
maybe even talk about you to the members in their groupchat 🥰🥰🙏🙏
don't even be surprised if he gets a bit clingy after, he likes that he gets to spend some time with you like this
even if you guys were kind if cramped in the car, atleast you guys had fun with each other's presence
10/10 would recommend ‼️‼️
"babe you brought a jacket or a hoodie with you right? I don't want you to get cold cause i know very well that button up is thin"
"yes my wuvy muvy pumkin pie bubba 😈🥰 i did"
"UHH WHAT THE FU–"
when jake said he didn't know how to drive you thought like he was like a beginner that didn't know how to park and all that stuff BUT NO.
ALL HE KNEW WAS HOW TO TURN THE CAR ON 😭😭😭
"don't worry babe after this quick practice i'll be able to drive in no time 😎😎"
JAKE: wannabe driver.
when you guys did a test run on an empty road boy you really thought this was going to go smoothly but you should've never really expect anything cause the second he released clutch and accelerated YOU WERE SENT FLYING ✈️✈️✈️
HE STEPPED ON IT TOO HARD AND THE CAR TURNED OFF
you were thanking the person who invented seatbelts cause you guys would've probably be done for if they didn't exist
you tried again tho, you weren't about to give up on him (even tho you were on the verge to 😔)
you taught him how to get the car moving but turns out you were talking to a brick wall with a dog wallpaper
"jakey listen to me, you won't know the basics if you don't listen"
"i'm sorry :(( you just looked so cool explaining all that stuff that i got distracted"
but after that he did focus on learning.
you let him try again and this time you told him that he shouldn't rush releasing the clutch, and wouldn't you know it HE GOT THE CAR RUNNING 💃🕺💃
the both of you were so surprised but jake still had to keep his eyes on the road so you just ruffled his hair and told him he did a great job
he was so smiley after that omfg 😭😭😭😭
"love, once i get my drivers licence i'll be the one dropping you off to work, i promise 😉✋"
yea.. This man isn't touching the wheel anytime soon
SUNGHOON: the curious cat.
he watched you drive the car with ease and was like:
'my s/o is so perfect omg ❤️__❤️'
but he was very interested in driving tho, or more like he was interested in the one driving it (yes sunghoon is indeed apart of the y/n simp nation 😌)
his eyes then shifted from your face to the stick shift, there were a lot of numbers on the side and he got so confused
'wonder what that's all about'
and so he asked you 😩
"y/n what do these mean?"
he was asking with doe eyes and it was so adorable 😭
you explained it to him and he was so enthusiatic about you doing a few tricks up your sleeve and you just looked at him like 🤨🤨
"excuse me mister, do you want me to crash the car??"
"BOO LAME 🙄 /j"
"yes yes sure park sunghoon, if keeping us safe means i'm a boring person then that's fine with me 😊😒"

The bastard bots Getaway or Prowl?
whynotboth.gif
GETAWAY
favorite thing about them: just. what a fucking awful messed up bastard he is. i love bastards. i love slimy awful bastard characters being excellent villains. getaway is absolutely everything i want in that, he's genuinely awful, he has some genuine pathos but not remotely in a way that's apologetic to the characters' current actions, he has complicated interweaving relationships with a load of people as an antagonist, he's Very Hot. perfect bastard.
least favorite thing about them: basically none of the obvious answers work here. like oh i hate that he's awful to (x)? no all the bad things are the BEST things. sooo i'm gonna cheat a little, this is a narrative thing instead of a personality trait, i actually think it's kinda cheap they had him be saved by roddy and then die in a way that absolved him of having to do it. either have him survive and they have to work out what to do abt it or have roddy actually kill him tbh.
favorite line: "only as a compliment."
random headcanon: ooops it deleted this, fucking tumblr. ANYWAY it's that he genuinely holds a lot of affection for prowl. he shouldn't: i think prowl treated him quite poorly. but prowl did show respect for the parts of getaway others loathe and which he himself is proud of.
unpopular opinion: i don't think i have any??? opinions on him get rly divisive lbr sooo it covers most bases i think, haha
song i associate with them: love me dead - ludo
favorite picture of them: this one
PROWL
favorite thing about them: my favourite thing about Prowl is that at least when written well, especially by Roche, he has this exquisite balance of both possessing self awareness about who he is and what that means and yet not having quite enough... I don't know, awareness outside his own experience to really do anything with that for a long time? it's tough to explain. he's an absolutely perfect actually grey character, morally, even when he shades much more towards the darker side of things.
least favorite thing about them: i mean he's a self righteous prick obvs but he's. supposed to be. likewise ACAB and all but he IS a corrupt bastatd. so. uhhh i guess maybe just that under different writers the balance of "interesting dick" to "actually, just a confusingly motivated asshole" gets uhhh. skewed a bit sometimes I think, haha.
favorite line: "i said, 'wreck and rule'."
random headcanon: prowl absolutely has frame dysphoria and his deep seated functionist beliefs (albeit ones modified from the functionism of his youth, according to his own ideas) mean this is completely torturous for him and he refuses to so much as glance in the thought's direction.
unpopular opinion: it's not an unpopular opinion per se. it's just very common to headcanon prowl as autistic and i don't! totally see why people do, don't myself. 'least not in idw.
song i associate with them: how to fight loneliness - wilco

love how the plots of multiple tinkerbell movies only happens bc no one thought to explain major norms to tink.
like, maybe if you go off the book concept of fairies being born with all the necessary knowledge and being "incomplete" if they don't know these things, but... that really does not seem to be the case in the films. the concept isn't touched on and i think there are a lot of instances of "didn't anyone explain this to you?" said to tink implying these things need to be explained.
it seems more like clank and bobble were tasked with explaining basic things to her and them, being clank and bobble, did a very bad job. certain things were kinda touched on or brushed against but not really outright said which you need to do to a new bby fairy. and imo that's not really their fault because... they're clank and bobble... whoever trusted them with that really shouldn't have.
there's also part of her character that like, even if tink KNOWS something she's kinda too passionate to stay within those confines so. sometimes explaining things to her is anticipated to do more harm than good j;klsdkjf so i do understand some things like trying to avoid her finding out there's a human house near summer camp but Not telling her resulted in consequences too.
but yeah idk i just think there needs to be a guide, maybe, for new fairies to learn a little bit more about their world's basic facts like that tinker fairies weren't expected to go to the mainland or you should really leave the thistles alone.
obvs we know it worked out in the end and we need plots for movies to happen etc etc it's just funny to think about how at least a percentage of that damage could've been avoided if people like, had a proper pixie hollow orientation not done by the two sparrowmen with two braincells between the two of them.
the fact she didn't know not to cross into the winter woods is another one, which i do get was bc that worldbuilding block hadn't been put into place in the first movie so we didn't get that info, and therefore tink had to learn it in sotw so we could learn it. but at least having clank and bobble be... clank and bobble... kinda does excuse why she'd think it was okay! because, all love to them, they probably didn't even realize they were breaking a rule when they flew over it with her.
not that any of this really matters though since it's tink and tink would be causing chaos regardless it's just something you kinda notice the more you rewatch the films. like, there really should be some "if tink finds out about dangerous but compelling aspects of being alive: from a-z" plans of action written out by now.
