it doesn't matter
jamie drysdale x fem reader (ft. trevor zegras)
word count: 4.3k
warnings: drinking, sexual themes and mentions of sex, cursing, jamie being a fake swiftie (dw that is taken care of), reader has a guilty conscious, fluff (some angst i think), happy ending (those are rare on this blog), not proofread because i accidentally queued this so it posted on its own oops
note: i rewrote this about three times over the past two months, hope you guys are pleased with the final outcome. any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. hope you guys enjoy. have a great day, love y’all babes <3 !!!

“hey you’re single right?” your head shot up at the sound of trevor, one of your closest friends, voice. you had known trevor since you moved to anaheim for college, on your first day in town he accidentally took your coffee from the pickup area at starbuck and you chased him down because you would be damned if you spent ten dollars on an iced coffee that you wouldn’t of been able to drink. it would’ve been a lie if you said you didn’t have a crush on him, he was so funny and kind and not to mention the fact that he is genuinely gorgeous, but you never acted on anything because you were worried he wouldn’t reciprocate your feelings, and the fact that the two of you have had one too many drunken, and a couple sober, hookups didn’t help either.
“of course i am, or else what we did last night would’ve been morally wrong, why?” your heart rate picked up, thoughts running a mile a minute. was he about to ask you out? did he actually like you back the way you dreamed he did? was our relationship finally gonna be something more than friends who fuck at times?
“i wanna set you up with my roommate, jamie. i think you guys would like each other.”
+++
it was a crushing blow, not only did trevor just inadvertently just tell you your feelings are one sided, but that they are so one sided that he thinks his roommate would be a better match for you than himself. you felt sick to your stomach, this was in no way a heartbreak, but that doesn’t mean it can’t hurt.
“earth to y/n.” trevor’s voice shook you from your trance, you had completely forgotten he was there. “you good? you haven’t said a word in like five minutes.”
“yeah i’m fine, um who is this guy? i don’t think i’ve heard you talk about a jamie before.” you wanted this to be a joke, for trevor to say he was kidding, maybe jamie wasn’t real and he just wanted to see if i was open to a relationship right now. 
“well he’s on the ducks as well, seems like your type. brunette with blue eyes, he’s got nice eyebrows too, just a couple weeks older than you, i know you don’t like extremely tall guys so him being 5’11 is perfect.” the more trevor went on about jamie the more you realized that jamie was in fact a real person and did seem like my exact type. “he has freckles too, i know you love those on guys and he looks good in the color green, he checks off all your boxes y/n.” you hated that he did. 
“can i see a picture before i agree to anything?” you didn’t want trevor to get suspicious when you said no, so you wanted to seem like you were at least considering it.
“absolutely.” looking over at trevor’s phone you let out a small sound of surprise.
he was gorgeous
“trevor why have you never told me about him before?” you said, grabbing his phone to go through all of his instagram posts. “he is literally beautiful!” 
“i honestly didn’t even think about it, but jamie saw you at our party last week and asked about you and i knew i had to make you two happen.” trevor said, taking his phone back. “come over tonight. we’re having a party before the season starts, you’ll be able to meet jamie.”
+++
it didn’t take you very long to get ready, your hair and makeup having already been done from your errands earlier in the day, but you did struggle picking out an outfit as every twenty year old girl would. you didn’t quite know who it was that you were dressing up for, in previous months it was always trevor. you were always hoping that he would see you and you would end up staying with him until the morning. while that was usually the case, the second part of your fantasy never came true. the part where trevor realizes he has feelings for you that go further than seeing you as a good fuck. but now there was jamie, you hadn’t even met him yet and you were still wanting to impress him. maybe trevor would see you with jamie and it would make him realize his feelings for you. but jamie seemed nice, once trevor left you looked him up and watched a few too many tiktoks and interviews involving him, he seemed like the polar opposite of trevor and that might just be what you need, it also doesn’t hurt that he was just about one of the most attractive men you’ve ever seen in your life, trevor was not lying when he said that jamie was your exact type. settling on a simple pink top and black jeans you made your way towards the uber trevor had ordered for you, palms sweaty and legs slightly shaking as you confirmed where you were headed before you saw your apartment complex disappear in the distance. 
+++
“y/n thank god you’re here, i was starting to think you were pussying out.” trevor loudly yelled as he approached you, great he was already at least three drinks in. “catch up” he said once he was standing in front of you, handing you a beer. 
“i don’t drink this crap, you know this.” you said, shaking your head as trevor silently continued to push the can in your face.
“fine, i bought you some caymans. they’re in the garage fridge, but don’t take too long, jamie is excited to meet you.” you ignored the way his eyebrows wiggled as you began walking towards the garage.
once you were in there you grabbed two drinks, just so you wouldn’t have to come back out for at least half an hour, as well as a shooter. you needed the liquid confidence that would come from the tiny bottle of pink whitney. 
once you made your way back into the party you walked around looking for trevor, stopping a couple of times to greet those you knew, before you found him sitting with the man of the hour.
“y/n! come here, meet jamie.” trevor waved you over, you took a generous sip of the alcohol in your hand before making your way over, sitting down on the couch. trevor in the middle of us, as he began rambling to no one in particular about something you didn’t quite know, your ears tuning him out as the sound of your heartbeat in your ears took over all your senses. 
“y/n, are you even listening to me?” trevor asked you, gently poking the exposed part of your waist.
“no.” the laugh you heard after that made a bush creep up your neck, jamie’s laugh was just as beautiful as he was.
“rude, anyways y/n this is jamie. jamie, this is y/n.” he motioned the two of you towards each other as he talked, jamie reached in front of him to offer you his hand. “now get to know one another, i’m gonna go play pong.” trevor stood up before you could protest him leaving you alone with jamie.
you expected it to be awkward, but it wasn’t. conversation was flowing between the two of you like you had known each other for years, you talked about the basics, what tv shows you enjoyed, favorite movies, taste in music, which then led to a thirty minute discussion about taylor swift and how jamie claimed he was a swiftie but couldn’t name any songs that weren’t played on the radio
“i have a lot to teach you i guess.” you were definitely making it obvious that you were interested in him, but you didn’t care. you’d usually be so shy around a guy so cute, but something about jamie made you calm, that was the simplest way to put it.
“i would love that.” the blush on his face matched yours. you smiled at him, contemplating whether or not you wanted to ask the question you had been wanting the answer to all night.
“so why have i never seen you around or met you before? i’ve known trevor for almost two years now, and i’m over here quite a lot.” 
“i usually just stay in my room all day, especially during parties, i’m not the biggest fan of them.”
“then why are you out here right now and not bunkered up in your room?”
“i wanted to meet you, to get to know you.” jamie answered, scratching the back of his head and giving you a sheepish smile. “i came downstairs last weekend to grab something from the kitchen and that's when i saw you, i really lucked out that you are friends with trevor or else i probably never would’ve been able to find out who you were.” 
you nodded at his response, informing him that you were glad you were friends with trevor too.
“speaking of him, i was hoping to see him again before i left.” you told jamie, standing up from your spot on the couch noticing his slightly upset expression. “let me give you my number, i would love to see you again, maybe begin my lessons on taylor swift to you.” 
“i would love that.”
+++
after exchanging contact information with jamie you made your way outside towards the pong tables, hoping that trevor would still be out there. 
“hey trevor, i was just about to leave, wanted to say goodbye.” you said approaching him in the dimly lit yard.
“you’re leaving already? i didn’t even get any time with you.” he pouted, resting his chin on your shoulder his arms loosely around your waist. 
“sorry trev, but i got to know jamie. don’t let this get to your head, but i think you might be a pretty good wingman.” you joked, your arms around his neck gently running your hands through the ends of his hair. it wasn’t abnormal for the two of you to be so affectionate, so this felt normal.
“good, i’m glad.” his tone didn’t sound like his statement, but you could easily chalk that up to the alcohol in his system finally wearing him down. 
“why don’t i help you get into bed? basically everyone has left already.” you suggested, forcing his head up to meet yours at your eye level.
he smirked before responding. “i like where this was going.” 
“nothing like that buddy, besides you just set me up with your best friend that wouldn’t be a good idea, don’t you think?”
“that's not fair, you can’t do that.” he mumbled, his head dropping back down into the crook of your neck. “you can’t say you're taking me to bed, and then not take me to bed the way i want you to take me to bed."
you rolled your eyes at his comment and began dragging him back inside and up towards his room. once you wrestled him out of his jeans, giving up on putting pants on him because of his multiple attempts to lure you into bed, you got him to lay down and made sure he was comfortable before you headed downstairs to get some water and pain killers for him to take once he woke up in the morning. 
“goodnight trevor.”
you made your way outside onto the front lawn while you waited for your uber to arrive. you usually would’ve taken trevor up on his offer to spend the night with him, but something about even just thinking about doing that was now making you feel guilty. it wasn’t like you and jamie were in a committed relationship or anything, but he seemed to genuinely like you and was actually interested in getting to know you and you didn’t want to do anything to sabotage that.
+++
from: unknown number
can we meet up today for coffee or lunch? i would love to start becoming a real swiftie.
to: unknown number
am i right in assuming this is jamie??
from: unknown number 
yes 🙃
to: jamie🤭
i would love to meet up.
to: jamie🤭
could we get lunch? i am literally starving because of my hangover.
from: jamie🤭
absolutely. send me your address, i’ll come pick you up. 
+++
you were in full panic mode, you had no idea what to wear and the fact that it was visibly obvious that you were hungover didn’t help at all. you told jamie to give you at least thirty minutes, after he told you that an hour was too long. 
you took the fastest shower you ever have in your life before tackling the biggest issue, your outfit. you went through every drawer, bin, and your closet before you decided on biker shorts and a crewneck. you could only hope that jamie wasn’t planning on taking you somewhere with a dress code. 
makeup was applied and your hair was pulled into a claw clip before jamie texted you that he was outside, you did some final touches before you made your way out of your apartment complex. you lucked out seeing that jamie was in a comfy outfit just like you were. once you were buckled up jamie handed you his phone and told you to pick the music before driving off.
+++
“so what is your all time favorite taylor swift song?” jamie asked once he joined you in the booth you found for the two of you, he had taken you to in and out claiming he was craving a burger, and you didn’t complain because you would never pass up the opportunity to fuck up some animal fries.
“i don’t have just one, i think it is humanly impossible to have just one.” you told him, taking a sip of your lemonade before continuing. “i do, however, have a list of my top sixteen songs by her in no particular order.”
“sixteen songs? that’s insane.” 
“she has over two hundred songs, you’ve got a lot of listening to do.”
“well why don’t you give me your list of songs, the only ones i really care about are the ones you like.” you blushed at his words, before stating all of your favorite songs by her. his only responses were “i don’t know that one, never heard of it, i know that one, wait no i don’t”
once you were done and jamie confirmed all the songs were now added to his spotify you two began eating as you gave him a run down of her career.
“so who is your favorite and least favorite ex of hers?”
“i hope you don’t have plans for the rest of the day because i have a lot to say on this.”
+++
“do you want to get dessert? there is a nice ice cream place a few minutes from here.” jamie asked while you two were walking around huntington beach. you didn’t even realize how long the two of you had been hanging out until he asked if you wanted to get dinner, and now three hours after that when he is now asking to get dessert. 
“yea i would love to.” he smiled down at you and you made the move to hold his hand. “sorry, i hope this is ok, i just wanted to hold your hand.” you blushed, turning your head away from him.
“it’s ok, i wanted to as well.” he blushed as well before he began leading the way towards the ice cream shop. 
+++
“i had a lot of fun today, i was honestly a little nervous that with both of us sober it would be a little awkward, but it wasn’t and i would like to see you again. soon. sorry if that is a bit forward.” you told jamie as he pulled up in front of your apartment.
“i’d like to see you soon too, like tomorrow soon. are you busy tomorrow? we could get dinner, a nice place this time, not that in and out and qdoba aren’t nice it’s just-”
“yea i would love to, just send me the restaurants info before so i can figure out what to wear.”
“you’ll look beautiful in whatever you wear y/n.” you blushed at jamie’s comment before leaning over and giving him a kiss on the cheek. you were quick to get out of the car, yelling a goodbye as you ran into the front doors of your building.
+++
“finally you’re back. where the hell were you? i’ve been here for hours.” 
“how the hell did you get into my apartment trevor?” you asked the boy who was sprawled out across your couch eating your food. “stop eating my wheat thins asshole.”
“i found your spare key, i mean hiding it on the top of the door frame is just a horrible idea y/n.” trevor said as he went back into your kitchen, hopefully to put your snacks away.
“what are you doing her trev?” you asked, taking your shoes off before making your way into the living room.
“where were you? you’re never out late, and i got here at like two and it’s now eleven. did you pick up a shift?” trevor was quick to join you on the couch, grabbing a blanket and throwing it over the two of you.
“no, i was actually with jamie, he picked me up at noon to get lunch and then we spent the whole day together.” you blushed remembering how much fun you had today and how it was the first time in a while that you had enjoyed a date that much.
“oh, i didn’t realize that you two were getting along that well.” trevor said, reaching towards the table to grab the remote. “what the hell did you two talk about for nearly twelve hours? jamie cannot be that interesting of a guy.”
“we started off talking about taylor swift and how he is a fake swiftie, just like you are.” trevor cut you off with a gasp and hit you with the pillow he was using. “and then we talked about our childhoods, stories from school and growing up where we did.” you smiled at nothing, just reflecting on this one story jamie had told you about his worst halloween costume, which you then one upped with your own horrible halloween story. “thanks for pushing me to meet him trevor, i know it’s only been a day but i feel an actual connection with him and i can’t remember the last time i felt that with a guy.” 
+++
you and jamie had been going on dates multiple times a week for the past month now and tonight the team had the night off and jamie was taking you to his favorite restaurant for date night. you weren’t dating, yet, but both you and jamie have spoken about it as something you both want. it’s just up to when the timing is right.
“where is he taking you out tonight?” trevor asked you as he joined you in your bedroom. you called him over to help you pick out an outfit for tonight.
“cortina’s” it wasn’t a black tie restaurant, but it wasn’t a jeans and a tshirt restaurant either. “i was thinking my black leather pants and then a nice top, maybe my pink top with the mesh sleeves?” you were met with silence from your best friend, “hello? earth to trevor.”
“sorry what?” you rolled your eyes before entering the bathroom, changing into the outfit you had in mind. “what do you think?”
“i think that jamie isn’t coming to pick you up for another two hours and that gives us plenty of time to have some fun.” trevor said, wrapping his arms around your waist and giving you open mouth kisses on the exposed skin of your neck down to your shoulder, you let yourself revel in the feeling before you snapped back into your senses.
“trevor stop.” you pushed his arms off of you as you distanced yourself from him. “trevor you can’t do that, we can’t do this anymore.”
“why not y/n? you and jamie aren’t dating, there is nothing wrong with it. it’s been a month and i’m getting frustrated.” he groaned, flopping down onto your bed.
“that is not my issue trev, don’t blame me. i can guarantee that there are at least one hundred girls in your dm’s right now who would be willing to hook up with you, go bother one of them.” you snapped back at him, not in the mood.
“i don’t want some random girl, i want you y/n. aren’t you in the mood even a little bit, it’s been a month for you too.” you avoided his eyes as you made your way to your vanity to begin your makeup. “wait have you been fucking jamie? what the fuck y/n?”
“trevor you have no right to be upset, we are nothing. you were the one who set us up. isn’t this what you wanted?”
“no this isn’t what i wanted, i should’ve just made jamie make a move on his own. if that was the case you would still have no idea who the hell he was because jamie is too much of a little-”
“get out.” you cut trevor off before he could say anything worse. “trevor get out and don’t talk to me until you manage to get your head out of your ass.”
+++
“is everything okay? you seem a bit off.” jamie asked, he was right. after your argument with trevor you had been a bit out of it, the guilt of what you had done with trevor in the past was eating away at you. “could we talk about it later? i don’t want to ruin dinner.” your voice was shaky as you spoke.
“yes of course, but i’m gonna be honest i’m a little worried now.” jamie said, playing with the napkin on his lap. 
“i am too, don't worry.” your attempt at a joke didn’t help, but thankfully the waiter came to take our orders. 
+++
dinner was terrible. 
you two tried your hardest to have everything be normal and how things had been in the past month, but both of you were worried about what you had to say. jamie was scared you were gonna break things off with him, he was already nervous for tonight because he was going to ask to make things official between you two, and now he was even more on edge. while you were worried that after you told him about you and trevor’s past that he would no longer want anything to do with you and would break things off before they even got fully started. 
“so can you tell me what is going on?” jamie asked once you two had exited the restaurant and were sitting in his car.
“i want you to know that this started before i even knew you existed and it stopped the moment i met you.” you took a couple of deep breaths before continuing. “trevor and i had been hooking up, for nearly the whole time we were friends, but i swear to you the second i met you i cut it off. i’m really sorry for not telling you sooner, it’s just that i really, really, like you and i didn’t want anything to jeopardize that, even though keeping it a secret probably wasn’t the best alternative.” you looked out the window, avoiding his gaze, afraid of how badly he was judging you right now. “i understand if you don’t want to continue this anymore, you can just drop me off right here and i’ll uber home.”
“y/n. i don’t care.” you finally peeled your eyes away from the reflection of the cars in the side view mirror to see jamie looking at you with a smile. “your previous relationships are none of my business, yes it is a bit uncomfortable that he is my roommate and one of my closest friends, as well as one of yours, but i really, really, like you too so that doesn’t matter to me.” you smiled back at him, a few tears building up in your waterline. “i was actually going to ask you if you wanted to be my girlfriend, and i still want to. so y/n would you make me the happiest man alive and officially become my girlfriend?”
“yes jamie, i would be honored.” you leaned over the center console and kissed his cheek, to not distract him from the road. “it sounds like you proposed jamie.” you laughed. “are things going to be weird around trevor for you?” you hated the idea of being the cause of their falling out, or to have any team problems sprout from this.
“yes.” jamie replied bluntly. “and i’m definitely not the biggest fan of you two hanging out without me there, at least for a little bit, but it’ll all work out. i won’t let it get to me or my game, but the second he makes a comment about you it’s over.”
you giggled before replying with a short “got it.” and placed your hand over his.
“and don’t worry, i never plan on going anywhere without you drysdale. you’re gonna have to start coming to girls' nights too.”
+++
note: i actually rewrote this three times and each time the plot was different, the last version was so much juicer and had so much drama (trevor realized he was in love with reader, but he was too late dun dun DUNNNN) but i cut that out because i couldn’t get the wording right. anyways i hope y’all enjoyed, leave feedback (any and all is appreciated), have a great day, i love y’all babes <3 !!!

1016 Week 2023: Day 1 - Monza
Hello fellow Piarlies 😍❤️💙 We are SO excited to kick off 1016 Week with you!! For our first day of this fanweek, the prompt we're all going to be using is "Monza." We can't wait to see and share all your creations!! 🇮🇹🏆🎉
Before we get into it, just a quick reminder of how this event is going to work:
You make your Monza-themed creation(s), and when you're ready to go, post or link to Tumblr for all the Piarlies to share the love!
Make sure to tag us @1016week somewhere in your post, and use #1016 week 2023 within your first five tags so we can find and reblog your post.
For our writers and artists who'd like to add your work to AO3: we've created an AO3 Collection where you can post all your creations for this event! You can find it on the Archive as 1016 Week 2023 (1016Week_2023). Be sure to post to Tumblr as well, because we'll be reblogging all 1016 Week content to this blog too! 💙
A gentle reminder that while we are accepting any and all kinds of content & themes for this event, please place any dark, explicit or potentially triggering content under a read-more cut, and tag it clearly so that people who want to avoid it can do so.
We will reblog and share all Piarles content that we're tagged in! However, please note that your post might not show up on our blog immediately. This could be because:
This blog uses a queue, which is set to release 1 post every hour. It's quite possible that your post is queued up already, but just hasn't released yet. For this reason, we ask you to please wait 24 hours before you message a mod to check if we've seen your post. The chances are that we have - it's just still waiting for its release turn in our queue. ❤️ If after 24 hours your post still hasn't been reblogged, then please do shoot one of the mods a message! We will make sure it gets reblogged ASAP.
Continuing on from the previous point: we all love Tumblr, but we also all know that it's far from perfect. It's possible that your @ did not show up in our notifications, for whatever weird Tumblr-y reason, or that we just accidentally mislooked it somehow. We mods are only human, and mistakes happen. So again: if it's been 24 hours and your post still hasn't been reblogged, please let us know and we'll help you out as soon as we can 💙
If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact any of the mods. Your mod team for this event is @singsweetmelodies, @boxboxbrioche, @welightitup, @duquesademiel, @wolfiemcwolferson and @river-ocean 🫶
And now with no further ado... LET'S GO, MONZA! 😍🇮🇹❤️💙

Words are being put in my mouth by some anonymous messages and some very unkind assumptions are being made.
Very long post under the cut-
I need all of you to understand that I'm playing this by ear. Longtime followers will know that every so often I will make a post about a new rule because something was brought to my attention.
Upon the creation of this blog, I had no idea what rules would be needed to foster a safe environment. Therefore, I added rules as things came up.
If memory serves, at the start of this blog, I didn't have any rules and that worked fine for quite a while because no one submitted anything that was harmful. As time went on, that of course didn't last and sadly people submitted things with slurs and other harmful language.
I admit I've made mistakes. A transmisogynistic slur made it onto this blog, which was quickly called out by a follower (thank you for that!) and I removed the submission in question.
When I posted my new pinned post with a list of rules and guidelines, I asked for input. I cannot predict every possible scenario so I admittedly rely on followers of this blog to call out things they think are inappropriate. Which is why when I received the recent message informing me that they found a submission to be offensive, I took it very seriously.
I will admit, I genuinely don't remember queuing the submission in question. It was likely submitted about two weeks ago and I have no idea what my thought process was when I saw it and accepted it. I don't want to make excuses, but I will say that I sometimes queue submissions when I'm not in a place where I should be doing so, such as when I'm extremely tired, or just woke up and still bleary, or after I've taken medication to make me sleepy.
I have made mistakes before when going through submissions when I shouldn't. I've accidentally posted things instead of queuing them, for example, or I've misread what someone wrote in a way that caused issues. I have been trying to do better about that as of late and not go through submissions when my judgement is impaired. I don't know if that was the case for the submission in question. I genuinely don't know. I am just sharing some of the mistakes I've made in the past and telling you I will try to do better in the future.
Though I don't remember my thoughts when I queued the submission in question, I do remember queuing other posts that made me personally uncomfortable when I read them.
I'm a bit torn here, which I tried to voice in my other posts on the subject. On one hand, I want people to feel free to talk about their thoughts and feelings. But on the other, I don't want those thoughts or feelings to cause harm to others. I've queued posts that made me personally uncomfortable (because I felt they insulted something about me) because I didn't want to censor people here. I didn't know how or if I should make a rule about such things. I didn't know how to handle it, so I went ahead and queued things that I found offensive to me personally, hoping that if others found it offensive as well they would let me know. Since no one did, I hoped that meant that I alone was made uncomfortable and thus it was an okay thing to have on the blog.
When the submission in question was brought to my attention initially, I immediately felt uncomfortable in how it was worded. I'm not fond of anything that calls something or someone gross.
I asked for suggestions on how to handle the subject on the initial post because, as I stated earlier, I do rely on followers of this blog to tell me how things make them feel and suggest ways to improve. This is a blog for the community so I always prioritize feedback, especially when I genuinely don't know how to handle the situation.
As stated earlier, I don't want to censor people's experiences. This is a place people should feel free and open to talk about their monsterfucker journey. But at the same time, I do not want the sharing of those experiences to hurt others. Which is why I asked for input. I received a lovely suggestion about making a rule that essentially means "don't yuck someone else's yum" and that is what I added to the list of rules and guidelines.
Ideally, I want people to be able to voice their preferences in a way that doesn't insult others. I hope that in the future, that can be done.
As for the deleting of the submission in question: I've been accused of deleting it in order to hide the full situation. That is not true at all. I deleted it because it was offensive to multiple people. I have not deleted any posts on the subject. I am not trying to hide anything I've said or done.
And in fact, I haven't deleted the post at all. It's been made private. You can view it here, if you wish to have a full understanding of the situation.
As for the other accusation thrown my way:
I don't think I ever stated that "this is a you problem." The post in question made me uncomfortable as well when it was brought to my attention and I 100% agree that it was inappropriate and offensive.
My issue with one of the messages I received is that I simply disagree that discussions about the human body are off topic for the subject of monsterfucking. A suggestion was made that I should have a blanket ban on any mentions of the human body in a positive, neutral or negative light and I cannot get on board with that as I feel that in many cases our views of human bodies influences our monsterfucking journey.
I hope future submissions can word such influences in ways that are not insulting to other people. I will do my best to not accept submissions that are worded similarly to the one in question.
Thank you all for your feedback and patience during this situation. I am always trying to improve this blog so that it is a place for all sorts of monsterfuckers to come together and share their thoughts. I apologize for not always succeeding in this and I do genuinely greatly appreciate when people call out my mistakes so that I can endeavor to do better in the future.

a couple ments :>
hello it’s mei :] 
tldr: im back in uni and will be less active, i’ll be blocking blogs i suspect are bots soon, i made a taglist signup here!
i wanted to mention some things, starting with the fact that i’m back in uni so posts and my activity will be sporadic and a lot less frequent :< my predictions for my workload this sem were right and i am + will be very busy with class 😭
i also wanted to say that some time in the future (at least a couple weeks from now) i’m going to be going through and blocking any accounts that i may suspect are bots (i saw some other blogs talking about that and i don’t wanna accidentally help bots/scams or something 😭) so please make sure you have some customization on your blog (pfp/header/blog colors/description/name line/reblogs, etc.) to avoid being blocked! 
and lastly i made a taglist! (thank you @seokmingiggles :>) you can fill out this form here and tell me what content/groups/members you’d like to be notified for to join :] if google forms don’t work for you that’s okay! just send me an ask/dm with the group and/or members and types of content (drabbles, fics, events or all) you want to be tagged in, as well as if there’s anything you don’t wanna be notified for
i do have a summer fair drabble queued for this week but i’m gonna go offline for schoolwork so i apologize for the out of date taglist and if i can’t/don’t tag you in it even if/though you indicated for that member + genre :< after that post i will be able to update it for the future + tag so my apologies for this time! 
thank you for reading this far and i hope you’re taking care!

may i ask how long u've been on tumblr/how you reached 10,000 followers? it seems like quite a feat and i've been trying to post my own stuff (aesthetics, themes, moodboards, etc) for while now almost regularly and i've been stuck at 59, 60, or 61 followers for that entire time. it only ever fluctuates between those three numbers and my most recent followers have been bots. i guess i'm asking if you have any advice? 😅
i’ve been on tumblr for exactly two years, but in october 2022 i accidentally deleted the account and had to start over (kids, the lesson is to never try to delete a sideblog on your phone, do it on the pc, that’s the only place you can do it, because if you try on the phone it’ll delete everything, all of your blogs, including your main) so, it’s taken me 1 and a half years.
well, i have tons of advice about all manner of things, but this specifically, how to get more followers? it’s a little more loosey goosey and based on luck and stuff. but here are a few of the advice i can give:
well, first of all i believe that kindness goes a long way, certainly with getting your followers to stick with you.
ALWAYS check the tags when you post stuff you want people to find, make sure you aren't using any tags that are broken or anything. this is part of the routine i have whenever i post a new fic, always always check that it's showing up in the tags. i'm also always that anon for my moots whenever i notice that their stuff isn't showing up and they either didn't know or needs a bit of help. if you don't know your way around tumblr tags, then this post right here is very very helpful. also just use the proper and appropriate tags, but i'd think that was a given.
you say that you post stuff like moodboards and such? to be honest, i don't know how many of my followers follow me exclusively for that genre of my content, i don't know how many followers are normal when that is your blog's thing.
some people like to spam post a ton of stuff, some people like their dash extremely active, i personally don't. i've unfollowed/just not followed people who i like just fine, but who post an overwhelming amount. i might not be the only one who's like this. i personally have some posts queued, i have a bit of a schedule of regular posts that i trickle out. like stuff that i reblog, there is a pattern to how i do it, just to spread it out and to keep it organised (because everything in my life is meticulously organised). like i always have a comforting little thing to reblog between 5 and 6 in the morning for me, because then it'll be one of the first things people in my timezone sees and one of the last things a nightowl might see.
also try and keep your blog organised, have tags for things so that it's easy for people to filter (and also easy for you to find stuff), have a pinned post that's kind of a gentle welcome/intro/guide to whoever clicks on your blog, that kind of stuff, also just try and make the blog pretty and inviting, not just the default tumblr icon and stuff (those lowkey scare me)
keeping timezones in mind when you post. think about if it's a good time for most people, is it a time of day where one could be looking at their phone, taking a little break.
reblog stuff! interact with people! support others that you like and maybe that someone will support you!
i've never posted stuff "in order to get lots of followers," or anything. i just personally really like my writing, and since i do, then there must be someone else that does as well. turns out i was right.
learn that your blog is like your little house. you make the rules, you decide who gets to stay, you get to do whatever makes you happy and no one can tell you that you are wrong.
at the end of the day, everyone is gonna like something different, you can't please everyone, so just make your blog, your content, exactly how you like it, just be your wonderful weird beautiful self and no one else.
「 come join my 10k celebration 」

I. I can't be normal about Aventurine and Dr. Ratio... the lightcone started it all, but when Aventurine was confirmed as playable... I LOST IT GAH just the dynamic is so so so incredibly fun
And THEN someone compared them to Alhaitham and Kaveh from Genshin and I sat there like "no but why were they right?!"
I'm down so bad and I adore your art of them kdkagdkawgkaw I have most of it queued to my roleplay blog for Aventurine (yes my sanity has completely evaporated, I made it just after he was announced playable hdkawmgdkwagkwg although I did wait to use it until the Penacony story came out)
I. I adore Aven so much I want his gender badly. And he's so fun!!! Like he's not morally alright (so he's a star rail character lol) but in the most fun way ever! And it will be so so interesting to see how they layer his character because it's clear that the showy, arrogant air he puts on will eventually give in to something else, something more real and less of an act.
Anyways these were just random rambles kgskagak I am so so sorry for this WALL of text this was sort of accidental I didn't expect it to grow!!!
So main points were I adore your art!!! And Aventuratio might be my roman empire in this world, who knows :)
Also, last but not least, I hope you are well and hydrated!
~ Minie
Aldjfldsl wow when I logged in to tumblr I definitely was NOT expecting to see a very lovely message from a fellow aventio fan 😭😭😭
honestly, I don’t really talk to anyone on Tumblr abt aventio (or in general) so I'm over the moon to hear you're an aventio fan. PLUS you like my art??? Thank you so much fr fr 😭 that makes me so happy to hear! 🥹🥰
And me too…ever since I saw that fated lightcone it was all over for me 😔 The hole is deep and I'm not getting out anytime soon. If you ever wanna talk about headcanons or just rave about aventio I'm all ears! ^^/ <3
Anyway, thank you for reaching out to me and thank you for the lovely message! Have a great day and stay hydrated too~

Weekly Original Nen Ability inspired by Songs!
Welcome back to my weekly blog where I share original Nen abilities inspired by popular songs! 
 But before we get into the new ability, I want to take a moment to apologize for the lack of updates over the past few months. Unfortunately, the other abilities that I had queued up were accidentally deleted, and the tab I used to write them on was also broken. I apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may have caused, and I appreciate your patience and understanding. 
With that said, let's get straight to the new ability! 
This week's ability is called "Dark Age Prophecy" and it was inspired by the song "Little Dark Age" by MGMT. The song's lyrics describe a person grappling with their inner turmoil and the dark forces that lurk around them, even as they try to maintain a sense of normalcy. The song's themes of darkness, inner conflict, and the struggle to maintain a facade of stability inspired me to create an ability that reflects those ideas. 
Name: Dark Age Prophecy 
Type: Conjuration-Specialization 
Description: The user of this ability conjures a deck of tarot cards and imbues them with Nen. The deck contains 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards. The user then emits a Nen thread to a target to establish a connection with them. 
The ability works in three stages: 
Stage 1 - Reading: The user shuffles the deck and draws three cards, representing the past, present, and future. The user then interprets the meaning of the cards and uses manipulation to convey the message to the target. The accuracy of the reading depends on the user's proficiency in tarot reading, Nen proficiency, and the clarity of the target's aura. The user cannot manipulate the target's actions directly, but they can use suggestion to influence their decisions. 
Stage 2 - Manifestation: After the reading, the user can choose to manifest one of the three cards drawn from the deck. When the card is manifested, it will trigger an effect that corresponds to the card's meaning. For example, if the user manifests the "Death" card, it may cause the target to feel a sense of impending doom and be more vulnerable to attacks, while the "Sun" card may boost the target's energy and confidence. The effects are temporary and wear off after a certain amount of time.  
Stage 3 - Prophecy: Once the first two stages are complete, the user can use manipulation to implant a suggestion into the target's subconscious. The suggestion will influence the target's future actions based on the reading and the effect of the manifested card. The target will feel a strong urge to follow the suggestion, but they still have the ability to resist it if their willpower is strong enough. The accuracy of the suggestion depends on the user's proficiency in manipulation and the target's susceptibility to suggestion. 
 Limitations: 
The user must deeply understand tarot reading and Nen to use this ability effectively. 
The user can only perform a reading on one target at a time and must establish a connection with them using Nen. 
The user cannot force the target to take specific actions, but can only influence their decisions through suggestion. 
The manifestation of a card can only be used once per reading, and the effects wear off after a certain amount of time. 
The suggestion implantation is not foolproof and can be resisted by a strong-willed target. 
The user cannot use the ability if the deck of cards is damaged or destroyed. 
This ability allows the user to use the symbolism of the tarot cards to make accurate readings of a target's past, present, and future, and use manipulation to influence their actions. The ability is limited by the user's knowledge and proficiency, as well as the target's susceptibility to suggestion. The ability's name, "Dark Age Prophecy," reflects the ominous and uncertain themes of the song that inspired it, as well as the idea of using the tarot to predict and influence the future. 
 I hope you enjoyed reading about this original Nen ability, and I hope it has inspired you to explore your own creativity when it comes to Nen abilities. Remember that the possibilities are endless, and the only limit is your imagination.
Thank you for taking the time to read about "Dark Age Prophecy." I apologize again for the delay in updates and the loss of the other abilities, but I hope to make it up to you with future posts. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of this ability and if you have any suggestions for future songs to inspire abilities.
Until next time, Hunters!

I was being so brave and dived head first in your blog to search the domestic prompts like I was trying to find a treasure from the bottom of the ocean. And I was succesful 😎
Can I have Niko/Olli and
we buy another blanket to stop you from hogging the one we do have, but next morning i still somehow find you all snuggled up in mine
🥺❤️
That was very brave of you indeed! 🥰💗
This is the last one of my domestic prompts and probably the last prompt fic one I'll do for a while, so it's time to thank everyone who sent in their requests 🌹 However, please know my askbox is always open for literally anything, and while I may not be reblogging "prompt posts", feel free to send me your ideas still and I'll see what I can do (or just pop in to say hi, I'd love that too <3)
You can find all the domestic prompts in this tag and all the other ficlets I've written on a pinned post on my blog 😘
(1066 words)
Niko smiled as he watched Olli hugging the new blanket (still wrapped up in plastic) to his chest while they queued for the cash register. If he had known it would make his boyfriend so delighted, he would have taken him duvet shopping in their local Ikea ages ago, even if they had accidentally ended up spending well almost 200 euros on new tableware, a rug for their renovated balcony, a floor lamp to replace the one Rommi knocked over, some decorative cushions for the living room sofa where they liked to nap together, and a frame for that picture Aleksi had secretly taken of them at Midsummer last year and gifted to them as a sizeable print for Christmas. However, Niko had only barely managed to rip the giant Blåhaj out of Olli’s hands under the pretext of claiming they had “no room in our tiny apartment for such an enormous thing, and besides, aren’t you a little too old for stuffed toys?”
Niko’s heart broke when he saw the disappointment and hurt on Olli’s face, but how else was he supposed to cover the fact he had already bought one months ago and was planning on giving it to Olli for his next birthday? (That is, if Tommi would take as good care of the fluffy blorb as he had promised he would.)
Eventually Olli had given in and said goodbye to the shark with a seemingly heavy heart and went on about their shopping spree, but when he heard Olli sigh wistfully as a small child walked past them with a Blåhaj in her tiny arms, Niko’s smile faded.
“Wanna grab some sushi and ice cream on our way home?” Niko nudged Olli’s shoulder. The man turned to nod and smile at him faintly, which wasn’t the reaction Niko was looking for, but he supposed it was what he deserved in that moment for being the cold-hearted bitch who didn’t let Olli walk out of the store carrying a huge stuffed toy in his arms like that lucky little girl who skipped along after her parents. 
Niko’s only hope for the evening to not end in tears was that the new eiderdown they had bought would be worth the money and guarantee them both a good night’s sleep with no fighting over the only blanket in the bed any more.
~
“Ahh, best purchase ever!” Olli hummed as he snuggled himself under his brand new duvet so that only his blissful face was showing from under it. Niko grinned as he helped Olli tuck himself in even tighter and mentally crossed his fingers for the thickest and fluffiest duvet they had found to keep Olli warm enough to prevent him from stealing Niko’s again, knowing Olli got cold more easily than anyone Niko knew. He still remembered the time they had been spending the last weekend of August at Niko’s parents’ summer cottage with the guys and how everyone had stayed on the porch drinking and playing card games in their shorts and t-shirts until about one in the morning, while Olli had been curled up in front of the fireplace, having buried himself under all the blankets he could find, chattering his teeth until Niko eventually joined him with an old pair of woolly socks for him to put on.
Of course Niko didn’t wish for Olli to be cold ever – in fact, he had made it his personal mission to keep his boyfriend warm and comfortable at all times – but he did find it ridiculously endearing whenever Olli huddled closer to him to seek warmth, whether it was while lying on the sofa watching a movie or at the metro station after having had dinner downtown. Niko loved it when Olli rested his head on Niko’s shoulder and made these adorable small noises, the tone of which varied depending on whether Olli was more chilly or tired, and Niko could spend forever with Olli’s hands fumbling on his body, looking for a pocket or a crook for him to slip his chilly fingers in until they became as warm as Niko’s own skin. 
There were few downsides to it, honestly; however, one of them was definitely the fact Niko himself often woke up cold and uncovered in the morning, only to find Olli holding on to the duvet they shared as if it was a lifejacket keeping him on the surface of a raging ocean.
“Sleep well, sweetie,” Niko said as he left a soft kiss on Olli’s lips that seemed to be stuck in a satisfied smile.
Already half asleep (or so Niko assumed), Olli only responded with a content humm, wiggling under the duvet a few more times before settling. Niko marvelled at the sleeping figure next to him for a little while, listening to his calm inhales and exhales and memorising each sweet curve of his face before turning off the bedside lamp.
~
When Niko cracked his eyes open at 7 AM, his skin was in goosebumps and his feet felt like icicles, which explained why he had dreamed of it being winter in the middle of late July. 
And when he looked to his side, he understood the reason for his shivers.
Niko could not imagine freeing his duvet from Olli’s grip, not only because it seemed physically impossible due to how firmly Olli was pressing it against his bare chest, but also because he didn’t dare disturb the man’s slumber, not when he was smiling like a child that had fallen asleep on Christmas Day while clutching his new favourite toy in his arms. 
The duvet they had bought had been kicked on the floor, by accident or purpose, Niko could only guess. At that moment, he didn’t know what he had expected.
It was obvious Niko couldn’t have both – a satisfied boyfriend and something to cover himself with in bed at night – so he contented himself with what he currently had and shuffled to meet Olli’s body in the middle of the bed. He touched their noses together, careful not to wake Olli up (even though it would take at least half of an apocalypse for that to happen most mornings), and wrapped an arm around the sleeping man. If Niko had to, he’d happily be the Jack to Olli’s Rose and freeze his ass if that’s what it took to keep Olli’s warm and safe.

Hello, it's me, the anon who wanted to start a writing blog, again haha (istg I feel like I'm the only nice anon today /srs; anyways, I hope you're doing better and ignore those others cowards, they're just jealous of your kind personality and have no brain)
I had a teeny tiny question about posting something that's rather long. I've got into writing some months ago (again lol) and wrote a few things out in my notes app & on my laptop. There I realised that some of it (like things I planned for multiple characters) are pretty long, about 6k words. Now I know about the "read more" feature to not clog anyone's dash but I was thinking, what if someone clocked on "read more" on accident or it later turned out it's not what they wanted/expected so then the 6k+ words are still clogging their dashboard. :/
I was thinking about if it's multiple characters to separate them and link them to each other but I don't know if that'll be too confusing/messy. I know it's really just a personal preference but since I really really like your blog (I hope it doesn't come off as weird lol) I wanted to know your opinion on it. <3
Oh and also, as I mentioned, I've now got about 6 works or so already typed out and proofread in my drafts, so I was thinking about writing ALL of the ideas on my list whenever I have motivation/time and only starting a blog and publishing them one by one (with a week difference or so) when I've got all written down and edited. So it's not really an active writing blog but more a "publishing-whatever-I-wrote-several-months-ago-from-my-notes-and-word-documents" kinda thing.
I've got no idea tho if people would enjoy that or if I'd even find mutuals like that if I only come on there to post my prev written stuff :/
Sooo I'd love to hear your opinion about these things. <3
I apologise that it's such a long message and probably messy and full of confusion as well as typos. You don't need to reply if you don't want to, please don't pressure yourself! <3 I hope you're doing good and have an amazing day/night🫶🫶
ahh helloo !! welcome back to the chaotic land of me being me :) (haha thank you !! but I think the word kind is better suited for you, tbf <33)
mm well, i would say that if your work wasn’t turning out to be what they were wanting / accidentally clicked on ‘read more’, then they’d more than likely just continue scrolling - no need to worry too much about it !! it’s what i usually do when i accidentally click read more ahaha 😭
thank you honey !! bet your blog will be prettier :)) and, for multiple characters, i personally prefer to put them all in one post and then if you have a masterlist for your works, then you could put the work like this (example ofc haha) :
inazuma.
- a typical night out w/ them !! (ft. xiao, lyney, kazuha, venti, and wanderer)
or, like me where you have a lil column in each nation for each character that I’m willing to write for, then you can link the work with them in it for each one (example coming up ahead) :
- XIAO.
-> - a typical night out w/ them !! (ft. xiao, lyney, kazuha, venti, and wanderer)
- LYNEY.
-> - a typical night out w/ them !! (ft. xiao, lyney, kazuha, venti, and wanderer)
if you know what i mean? it’s completely up to personal preference ofc, but if you’re asking me, i would say to just put them all in one singular post so it wouldn’t be as confusing lol. but then, if you want to do them in separate posts for each one, go on ahead !! i’ll support you either way <3 + don’t worry, i don’t find it weird 🫶🏻 😭 thank youu <33
mm as for the queue - ing ( I’m sorry i have no idea how to word this ), i would say that overall, this is your blog. and so, what you do / post is completely up to you, no matter what anyone says. some blogs run completely off of queued posts ( no matter ff or not ), and they’re perfectly fine. + i think it’s good that you have pre written stuff !! for example, if you’re planning to post something one day and you don’t have the time to start a new story or something like that, the you can just copy n paste from word lol 😭 but, try to take some time to try to organize it out a bit haha - maybe some dividers here n there and also a quick synopsis of the story ?
it’s completely fine, no need to worry !! you’re free to visit me anytime, promise. on that matter, there’s not much typos or anything like that, hehe. also wish you a nice day / night + lots of luck for your blog !! <33

January hiatus
Note: I accidentally queued this to post in the far-flung future and didn't figure it out until now. Sorry!
Well, I said I'd check back on January 1st, didn't I? (Note: I did say this, but as mentioned above, time has no meaning to me anymore).
At the moment, I'm still not feeling up to working on the blog; life is extremely busy and for the moment I've been interested in other games than TF2. I'm sure I'll be back - just not sure exactly when.
For now, expect to hear from me on February 1. I'll see you then!

That SMASH group that advertised in the tags was mine and the post was accidentally queued because I had no intent on opening it just yet but for the record that was from a group I had opened back in 2012/2013 and then recreated again in 2014.
And that's totally fine, Tiger. My SMASH au was something that I wrote up while both shows were still airing and me putting Faberry in as the "Spotlight Ship" in my plot was considered rare and unique (and I had to rewrite the plot to add in the new characters every time I thought about opening it) if that ages it well enough, but this was never a pissing contest. I chose to pursue a different rp venue at the moment, but even if I hadn't there is nothing stopping you from opening yours still. This is my blog though, and you definitely could have come to me off anon if you didn't like what you found when you traveled to my blog that I run myself to put my thoughts and my rp stuff on. Not just other people’s thoughts. Mine too. Like the anon answer you're apparently super peeved about and acting like I blacklisted you in.
Someone asked me for rp recs, I didn't say a bad word about you. I just recommended rps and talked a little bit about my own interest in admining my own rp and let my thoughts wander out loud about which plots I had in mind so that the people that would be interested in writing with me could put their two cents in too, with all of my thoughts out in the open to discuss. In order to better choose an rp that people would actually want to join. My truth is that I have about a dozen rps in the works, most of which were put together in 2010 or the following 5 or so years but never opened. My truth is also that I was talking to someone privately about wanting to open an rp. My truth is also that the following day, your ads posted. As coincidental as that may be, it's still my truth and still part of my thoughts on which plots I do and don't want to admin because nobody wants to open up a crossover au rp that's already in the tags. And I was having an open dialogue about picking a plot for opening up an rp. Not insulting you personally. Hopefully, sending the anon made you feel better.

A Song for the Living
You’re about to die,
so sit down, have a drink.
One hasty gulp, then
a slow one—it is your
last taste of mortality, after
all; savor it.
You suppose you could
surrender, hold up
your hands, toss the
white scrap of cloth to
the dust-soaked ground in defeat,
but your pride sticks in your throat
like a cricket and
straightens your spine
and you clutch the
gun or sword or whatever
the hell you intend to
go down holding,
vowing in vanity
to not die in vain.
“Pride or ideals or heroics,
anything you want to call it—
that’s why you’re doing this,
isn’t it.”
Is it such a bad reason?
I mean, I’d rather go down
fighting with lions than
surrendering to the snakes.
We’re so cynical nowadays—
at least that’s what we tell ourselves.
It’s easier to disbelieve
in everything than to believe,
to take those steps backwards than
leaps forwards,
to look back at our tracks
and scoff at where we came from,
rather than see the beauty in our footprints.
It’s intelligent, we say,
just look at everybody before us.
The blind faithful leading
the blind idiots along
the trail of glittering magic dust.
But in the end, the dust is just
dust, gray and inconsequential,
and it won’t make you fly
any more than overlarge ears.
Fairy tales for the children
and the willfully ignorant, we preach.
We live in a world that values
scarecrows over tin men,
but all that makes us is
lions chasing our own tails
and calling it enlightenment
with a capital E.
I mean, aren’t we all
going to die anyway?
Isn’t it better to have a death that matters,
a clean death on the grassy wet hillside,
staring up at the welcoming blue sky,
red heat and life babbling out to renew
the earth in the most ancient ritual,
rather than a slow death,
watching it approach like a car
over the horizon, and you
an animal unable to escape the
advancing wheels of Time
quickly enough?
Death is patient. It knows
eventually we all embrace it,
however unwillingly, like
that one relative who always
squeezes a bit too tight and never
lets go soon enough.
The cup of life is a short drink,
a gulp, really. And then Death,
having let you drink a little,
takes you by the hand to somewhere else.
But what is that gulp? What’s in it,
why is it worth so much?
A gulp of meaning, of something
so much bigger than we can comprehend
during our stay here on earth…
but right now, in this hazy in-between time,
teetering on the sharp edge
between eyes open and eyes closed—
here, you can see it.
Everything you’re giving up
by doing this, and
everything gained. Here,
the drink is bitterly,
vividly, regretfully
down to the dregs,
the bits of life that don’t
wash away that easily.
But when they do,
they taste ever so sharp and sweet,
like your first tears.
Toss aside the drink—it’s
slaked your thirst and now
you’re hungry for what
comes next.
You’re about to die—
but man, you should see the other guy.
