y/n_updates Y/n spotted last night in her current home city of LA getting cosy with Formula One driver Lando Norris. The two have been interacting on social media, and have been rumoured to be dating since they appeared to have first met in May.
Y/n has not been involved with anyone romantically since her whirlwind romance with the rising star Jacob Elordi last year. Elordi is believed to be the mystery man she was referring to in her hit song ‘ballad of broken promises’.

The pjo TV show consistently showing and emphasising that the Olympian family is not just dysfunctional it Is downright abusive and Percy being the first person to draw a line in the sand and say NO this is Not Normal this is NOT okay and all of that stemming from the sheer unconditional love that Sally showed him is *chefs kiss* I am feeling totally normal about this can you tell
AGHHHHH and the way they're showcasing that Percy's response to this abusive family that everyone has been giving power to for years is to turn around and say "If they're not going to protect you I will" because he is SALLY JACKSON'S SON.
And Annabeth, a twelve-year-old PREFERS the god's type of transactional love because then at least she can understand what she needs to do to feel their love and approval, she represents all the kids who were ever made to feel like they weren't worth unconditional love.
AND LOVE IS THE MOST POWERFUL THING IN THE UNIVERSE. Sally's love for Percy turned him into the type of person who would befriend bullied kids at school, who would sacrifice himself at 12 to save an almost-friend's life, who would give up immortality to give a voice to those who have struggled to be heard and bring into the light those who have been overlooked for far too long.
Arguably without Sally's unconditional love, the whole story would have ended with Percy joining Luke at the end of book one.

My Best Attempt at Coherence Regarding Diana Taverner
First of all - I just love her hair this season. With the noticeable light streak (that both she and Tearney have in some way)? Hot. She's always so put together and elegant, I love it and I hope we one day get to see her dishevelled, because there's very little that's more attractive than someone who is very smartly-dressed and neat being completely undone and at their lowest.
She's just... such a terrible person. I love her. She's scheming and selfish and horrible and she's so witty and dry about it. She hates River and is also explicitly happy to watch Duffy and the dogs fumble around.
Before I get into the main thing that's making me want to chew drywall about her: her role in the story/series is soooooo interesting she's an antagonist but also not really because she is sort of working towards the same goal as the protagonists (she's doing the job she's doing because technically or on some level she wants to protect people), but she's also always her number one priority. She really only cares for herself and it's fabulous to watch. She's not a straight-up antagonist in any season, more of an obstacle or inconvenience, and I've only read the first book so I don't know if this next thing ever changes (don't tell me if you have read the books, I don't want to know), but she doesn't seem to be some big overarching antagonist either. Her goals cause problems but so do everyone else's, and I don't even think she thinks that what she wants is right (she's tentative allies with Peter Judd, who by her own utterance she knows is the worst), but nobody can argue that she's downright evil.
Ok but like. The dynamics between Di and literally any other character (but like. mostly Lamb and Tearney) are like... They're fabulous. With Lamb, she utterly hates him but also respects him. When he sends her information she pretends to be dismissive but also takes that information into account. She's constantly trying to get the upper hand but keeps on running into the problem that, when all's said and done, he's often better than her at these things. Sure they do different jobs, but when it comes to cleaning up her messes, he has a track record.
And I'm OBSESSED with her and Tearney (take that however you will). The mind games they're playing with each other this season! Again, I'm only three episodes in so I don't know if she's at all behind this little stunt, but if she is hoo boy she's just ruthless in the pursuit of what she wants (and it's fascinating how Diana, who is an incredibly intelligent character, is at her stupidest when she's furthering her own agenda. The s1 mess was hers, even more so in the book). And that scene between the two of them in e3?? Hello??? They're fucking. They're divorced. They want each other dead but they also want to protect each other. The delicious scene in question begins with a declaration of ultimate loyalty and sympathy from Di (with an undertone of "I want to steal your job out from under you") and it ends with "you and me" being the "collateral damage" that Ingrid wants to limit. I'm having So Many Thoughts about these two.
And also aghhhhh Kristin Scott Thomas just makes me feral

Click for better quality!
Then Maddie pressed her face to the mirror, and it was cold glass. A level, delicate pane. It was known. All Looking-Glasses were mirrors, but no mirrors were Looking-Glasses anymore. She sat back, looking at her inverse who wore her own distant expression, and made them both smile. “Perhaps tomorrow.” Though she knew home would be impossible then, too.
WOOHOOOO!!!!! ANOTHER EAH:RIR SCENE REDRAW!!!!! god I hate traditional art. NO. NO I PROMISE I DON'T. I just. Hate. My traditional art. I PROMISE I'LL GET BETTER, I PROMISE I WILL
EAH:RIR is a REALLY GOOD EAH REWRITE FIC BY @gumjester and you should go read it!
I'm ngl this chapter really fucking ruined me. MADDIEEEEE AGHHJEJFJDNKEK ALL THE WONDERLANDIANS MAKE ME SAD, THINKING ABOUT THEIR BACKSTORY AND JUST HOW MUCH MORE PROPER ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO HOW TRAGIC IT IS, AGHHHHH aghhhhh gumjester wtf what the HELL WERE YOU ON WHEN DESCRIBING MADDIE'S THOUGHT PROCESS. It was just so, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AND HORRIFICALLY SAD AND AHHDBWBANDJ I CAN'T FUCKING PUT IT INTO FUCKING WORDS
SHE WANTS TO GO HOME SO BAD, ALL OF THEM DO, BUT THEY ALL FUCKING KNOW THAT NO ONE WANTS TO PUT IN THE EFFORT TO EVEN HELP THEM. NO ONE CARES. NOT FOR YEARS.
And FUCKING MILTON GRIMM THAT BITCH
Maddie's rationalizing that Milton was angry because he can't believe something has lived in ever after for so long without his permission, MUAH. CHEFS KISS. THE WONDERLANDIANS SEE RIGHT THROUGH THIS BITCH BASTARD.
LIKE. ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE CHAPTER SO FAR. IT RUINS ME. IT FEELS LIKE A HUG AFTER A 3 HOUR LONG BREAKDOWN. IT'S SO WELL WRITTEN AND PERFECT IN EVERY ASPECT. FUCK. WHAT IN THE FUDGE. FUCK.
I miss them so much. I miss the wonderlandians. I miss eah. AGHHHH
I listened to gumjester's Maddie playlist while drawing this and uhmmmmm..... Wow I can see where the inspiration came from. ALSO ALL OF IT IS AMAZING MUSIC. I LOVE MUSIC. I LOVE ART. THIS FIC MAKES MY DAYS BETTER. AGH. FUCK
Anyway uhhhhhhh have a good day everyone, say nice things to me I'm lonely

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH delusional post from me again augh still thinking about monte cristo's design.... the way there's just these cracks on his face that runs down like tears, and from it, on his left eye is like that. normally, Servants bleed and get hurt before disappearing to golden ether to return to the throne, having finished their roles in a grail war but Idmond has these cracks in his face that goes far beyond any normal injury you'd see on anyone.
what he used as fuel for the fake tokyo- to create 10 million inhabitants to set the stage- was his very own soul. it was neither flesh or blood or anything simple... it was the soul itself in which he took from his own so as to set the hunting ground to be as real as possible, for an immersion to be set for the sake of one person alone. a spirit origin receiving resources from chaldea is not enough. and so he takes his entire arm but that too isnt enough, and so gouges his eye out along with the contents all the way a little past his forehead.
and so you see darkness. and so you see shadow. the flames engraved into his being. and so you see his own void.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
knk collab automatically comes to mind... despite it being years already its really something else once enough time has passed. its just so scarce but it would be so interesting and amazing if we had more monte cristo and shiki conversations!! they dont even have a line for each other in the game! i think thats so?? grr???
dantes was originally summoned by goetia as a shadow of himself and in ogawa heim, his primary objective was to collect such curses and grudges to remember who he is as he was summoned simply completely to be nothing more than a tool. a husk of himself and yet had his own fateful encounter with a star... and it allowed him to be far more than that- allowed him to be a tiny light of hope and got to witness a star's determination... and as for void shiki she had her own encounter with guda and refers to their encounter as a dream- an ephemeral dream that she was elated to have because she is void and thus she shouldnt have any personality and in that meeting alone, summonable void is just so happy- (the Root herself) bc guda gave her awareness and her own ego when she embodies nonexistence itself and thus even should this be a fleeting dream it was one that gave her happiness nonetheless.
and so monte cristo becomes a little like shiki... fleeting now as flame like a dream, an existence that has met guda and were at first 'empty' from the start...and deadass fell in love because both are beings with one of them were robbed of happiness in the cruelest way possible and so knows love and hate more than anyone else/have nothing from the start and is literally the origin of nothingness and just this fateful encounter with a star one who cannot ever turn away from someone in pain no matter the circumstances reached out with a hand- was enough to change them both and???? wtfff im going insane AGHHHHHH
sidenote: roystbrave sensei again with a shiki-dantes comic that makes me insane i need more of them as i only know the one art of ryougi sharing her cigarette pack to dantes AGHHHHh

bolting out of bed in the morning like, "what if mary didn't die right away in the fire. what if azazel possessed her so that she ~mysteriously clung to life~ for a few days only to die in a hospital burn unit, just to wring a little more psychological torture out of john."
john who is a fucking WRECK, having carried his nearly-dead/actually-dead wife out of his burning house at the tender age of twenty-nine. john who's really trying to hold it together, who just wants dean to come in and say goodbye to his mother because even if it's hard, john knows what it's like to not get to say goodbye to a parent. he wants dean to have that with mary, like he never had with his own father. the doctors keep saying she could go at any time now, and he wants dean to have closure later, even if it hurts now.
dean, who keeps insisting that "that's not momma".
john who keeps trying to explain that even though she doesn't look like how dean's used to seeing her, that is his momma.
and azazel who finally leaves mary's charbroiled meatsuit to die, but not before opening not-quite-mary's eyes one last time to give dean a slow, yellow wink.
(really, it's hardly a wonder dean didn't talk for ages after the fire.)
–majordemonblockparty 😈🎉
AGHHHHH!!!! cilla u knock this out of the park EVERY!!!! TIME!!!!!
azazel's kind of curious, about what that little girl with the boyfriend is up to. he knows that he's going to be coming back around to collect the baby--hell, this is his fifth house-call this month alone--but she sticks out in his mind.
after all, she's the one with the dad that azazel popped into, just to twist them around a little. so sue him for wanting to see if the little bitch thought her trade was worth it. she ended up popping out two brats, and azazel went to appraise the livestock himself. azazel stood outside one afternoon watching the older one bounce on his little swing, but even looking at him left a weird taste in azazel's mouth.
the younger one, he's perfect. azazel tries not to pick favorites, but what parent doesn't have them? he stands over the younger one--sam's--crib for a while, just looking at him, and yes. this is right. there's something behind his eyes, or maybe the way the fat under his skin smells. this whelp was made for blood.
the brat tries to stop him, because of course she does. little lamb's been fattening herself for years and now azazel's holding the knife. it's perfect. the boy--the one worth her youngest one's soul--is barely a man, now. he screams. he cries. the pads of his fingers char as he tries to pull mary-little-lamb off the ceiling, and they both know that he'll never be able to feel anything there again. the last thing he'll ever touch and know about it is the melted fat of his wife's forearms.
mary's soul is gone by the time they get to the ground floor. azazel rakes his fingers along her as she goes, and her soul stays stuck as john kicks open the front door, left in the wreckage that she lit aflame herself.
azazel's always been a big fan of poetic irony.
he can't resist grinning at the young boy holding sam in the lawn, holding the baby to his breast like a widow and not like a four-year-old.
john tries to bring baby sammy to the hospital. he brings him into the hospital room like this'll wake mary up, or stop the quiet little wailing that sammy keeps up day and night.
mine, dean screams, mine, and daddy, and please! he kicks john's shin and claws at his waist like some wild thing, and won't quiet down until sam's settled in his arms outside the room, where he can't see mary. adorable little fucker.
john sits at the bed and cries. he whispers nonsense to her, and azazel's ready to vacate the bitch, because this is a new level of maudlin, of whimpering and capitulating and begging that he's not interested in unless he's pulling it out of someone with the business end of a blade.
please, mary. i can't do this without you. i love you. then: please, i'll do anything. i'll quit the garage, we'll move out to the country, we'll leave this all behind.
then: dean's scared to come see you. he can't fall asleep unless he's curled around sammy. he won't eat until sam has. he doesn't look anyone in the eyes. he keeps saying that you're not here, that you're not his mom. what am i going to do, mary? what am i going to do?
john finally manages to bring dean to the bedside. azazel's got the vessel's eyes closed--hasn't opened them since he left the house--so he can only hear dean's quick breathing, his shuffling feet as john pushes him farther into the room.
say goodbye to mommy, john whispers, voice thick and tight and shaking. azazel's been letting mary's vitals slip for the past few days, out of mostly boredom. he's ready to leave this little family melodrama to themselves, especially since dean's been keeping the main event to himself.
he can't help himself when he hears john shuffle over to the window. he peeks his eyes open, sees the state of mary's skin for the first time. it's black. flaking. he looks up at the boy, who's stopped breathing. he smiles, and feels the skin of mary's cheeks crack and ooze. he winks.
and he slips out, devil-may-care, as the boy opens his mouth to scream, as quiet as he came in.
azazel wants to take mary's womb out and give it to john still bloody, tell him 'you did this to her,' but he doesn't. they all know she did this to herself, the short-sighted little cunt.
sold her son for thirty pieces of silver, drenched in john winchester's blood.
all azazel has to do now is bide his time, and wait for collection day.
anyway, i can only imagine the psychological warfare he commits against dean and john that whole time. what an INCREDIBLE thought good lord. immediate!post-fire winchesters always makes me insane!!!!
thank you as always for this lovely, incredible ask!!!!! mwah mwah mwah!!!!
-lizzy :)

AGHHHHH
This is such a stupid question but like sighs in your entanglement au is wukong genderfluid or just nah??? Just wondering if my brain just went and added up some things wrong or what cuz UGHHHH
ye but also like with wukongs hair i just love the HAIRRR its sooo RRRRRRRRRRRRRR LONGGG and BRAIDEDDD but also not braided?? AGHH IDK I JUST LOVE ITTT it also just makes me think of this one friend of mine who is genderfluid and also just has fabulous long hair and braids it constantly but in the weirdest ways sometimes they tend too always do it in spefic ways tho depending on their pronouns which is just the coolest thing like one day they be lookin like they have prince charming hair on their he/him days which is just beyond me cuz its like WHA!? WHERES YOU HAIR GONE!?!? And then they've actually just got this long arse braid hidden under their hoodie and its just the most sneakest yet COOLEST THINGGG!! or they just hide their hair in their hat either way coolest thing I've ever SEEENNN defo recommend anyone learn cool wacky hairstyles that are beneficial for you if you are infact genderfluid or just have long hair and wanna look COOOOOOOOL or you can be boring like myself and just cut it short so you feel handsome and pretty or as my friend prefers too say it as pretty handsome💖👏 or just vibe!
anyways geez got totally off track sorry bout that MMM are their any genderfluid wukongs you might know of?? I need too find every single one of them 👁👁
hey im glad you like it! entanglement swk (and my other swks) use he/she/they/any pronouns, so shed probably be genderfluid, although i usually dont think too hard about labels, in part because i cant see a being as old as swk using modern terms to refer to herself. same with macaque, i hc him nonbinary but i dont think hed call himself that specific word.
i dont identify as genderfluid, but im happy for your freind, they sound cool!!
as for genderfluid swk, id point you in the direction of @wolfcamellias @lego-sand @stellawolfe1 @sparkyfireflower  @ranscoffin​ and @tallytals wh​o all have some fucking amazing genderfluid swks

chapter 1 : Welcome to new York
chapter 2 : If we ever meet again
Chapter 3
Bruises
I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind but I hope I never loose the bruises that you left behind
It was unusually sunny morning and I woke up to the light shining through the curtains feeling sore and uncomfortable. That was when I figured that I fell asleep on the couch instead of bed and my position was far from comfortable. With that thought came the realization and remembrance of last night’s events and my unexpected, probably hung-over guest sleeping in the bedroom. I still could not comprehend why she decided to get wasted during work week, but who was I to judge. Unwillingly and with a bit of struggle I stretched my back until the little crack in the spine made me feel better and started getting ready for the day. Starting from preparing some medicine and water for Tess.
-Rise and shine, baby monster! – without any hesitation I walked right into the room and opened the curtains. Perhaps that was a bit harsh, but at least effective.
- Aghhhhh … - Tess muttered from under the blanked turning around from the light covering her sleeping figure.
- I’m serious, get up Tess. We got work, remember? Can’t fuck up on the second day.
- What day is it?
- Wednesday.
- Mhmhm – she slowly lifted herself to a sitting position – what happened yesterday? And could you please stop shouting? It hurts.
- I bet it does – I shrugged lowering my voice down a notch – I should be asking you what happened since I wasn’t there, but honestly I don’t want to know. What I can do now, however is help you survive the day without anyone realizing how hard you partied.
- I though you didn’t want to mother me….
- I don’t and I most definitely won’t, but since I let you crash her I feel responsible for you, however crazy that sounds.
- Thank you.
- Don’t thank me just yet. Now, up you go, we got to get you back to the usable state. Oh, and Tess, one rule about that – no questions, ok? I’ll help you, but I don’t want my methods questioned, is that understood.
- It is – she pulled the cover up and unsteadily stood up. Luckily she was capable of standing on her own. – So what ….? – she questioned but upon my gaze quickly realized she wasn’t supposed to ask – Sorry…
- It’s fine. Come with me. – I motioned her towards the kitchen and the table – this – I pointed towards the glass filled with a sparkling, pink drink – is something my friends invented during collage. A little bit of everything inside. Drink it. It will help. And better do it at a clip, like a shot.
With a bit of suspicion Tess watched the glass on every angle, smelling it and trying to figure out whether she can trust me. Probably wondering what I really meant by saying that there was a little bit of everything.
-We don’t have all day, baby monster.
- Really, you too? – she scoffed.
- Yeah, me too. It’s catchy and at this point really fits how you look.
- Well, thanks a lot – she shook her head and finally drunk the liquid. A second later she googled and her expression became sour and vomiting-like. – Shit! What is that?! Why didn’t you warn me it tastes like .... I don’t even know how to compare it to anything I know.
- Would you drink it I told you?
- Probably, yes.
-I’ll keep that in mind, but hopefully we won’t need it second time.
- How do you even know the recipe for it? You don’t look like a partying type, who would need something like that.
- Did it help?
- Yeah,… I think…. I mean, I don’t feel so dizzy anymore.
- Good. That’s all that matters now then.
- Hey – she grabbed my head resting on the kitchen island – why are you so private? You can disclose some things about yourself, you know. It’s nothing wrong  to share if that’s what you think.
- I don’t. – I cut her off, maybe a bit to coldly and sighed to ease the atmosphere – Look, Tess, I am not a party animal that’s true, but I am also not a recluse. I observe, learn and then act, not the other way round. And it was the same with recipe. I found it out with my own ways, ok? Does that satisfy your curiosity?
- Nope. Not at all, but fine – have it your way. For now.
- Something tells me you won’t let it go, though – I shook my head. – Take an aspirin then and get dressed. We have quite a walk to the work and hopefully it will clear your head too. And hurry up, please. None of us want any trouble. Any more trouble. And I;m supposed to meet Howard.
- Did something happened? – she turned around facing me with her eyes wide open
- Tess … - I warned her.
- Ok, fine, fine. No more questions.
***
This little stroll we took together was probably one of the weirdest, yet oddly satisfying experiences of my life. Having in mind that she was still new to the city, I shouldn’t be surprised how excited Tess got while turning her head at everything that got her attention. While I was rather intuitive and had the tendency to ignore the outside worlds, Tess was reacting to everything around. And I mean, literally everything – sounds, voices, places, people….. Naturally curious and it showed on the outside.
-If you don’t stop, I’ll leave you in the middle of the street – I warned her, but with a little smirk. It was quite amusing to watch her excitement.
-I’m not a kid, you know, I can find my way to the restaurant.
- Can you really? How long have you been in New York?
- A couple days.
- And you really think you know the way?
- Well,…….
-It’s ok, when I first moved here I got lost in the central park, so no shame in that. Besides if you look to your right you’ll see that we’re already here. Keep your head up and straight and not around, ok? – we crossed the street and entered the premise. – I got to find Howard….
-Mackie, Tess. Good morning.
- Hello Will – Tess smiled in response and the man became all sunshine and rainbow at once.
-  I give her over to you, Will, watch over. Have you seen the boss?
- In his office. Waiting for you. What did you do?
- Oh, can everyone just stop asking me that? – I rolled my eyes and walked where I was expected.
***
-Howard, you wanted to see me? – I emerged through the boss’ doors
-Mackie, punctual as always. Come on in and close the door please. There is something the three of us need to talk about.
-Three of us? – I squinted in confusion and then noticed the third person sitting in front of Howard. Jake, of course. – Oh…. Hello Jake. – he muttered something unintelligible in response and scooted over to make place for me. 
- I’ve come into information that you two have quite a history together.
- Simone? – I asked raising my eyebrow. Who else might spill the beans to him.
- The source is irrelevant.
- Well, it’s nothing of a secret – I assured – we do have a history.
- Quite turbulent from what I know.
-Depends on the definition, Howard. And do you consider that a problem of any sort? Because I don’t.
- That is why I wanted you both here. Is your past going to be a problem in the work area? Because if so…
- No! – we both said in unison and looked at each other.
- Quite a unison you have – Howard leaned toward us. – That is a bit suspicious. Jake – he turned toward him – do you have any issues with Mackie?
- Plenty – he mumbled probably thinking no one heard.
- What was that?
- I have no issue, problem or anything else with her. I’m good.
- You are clearly not – I mocked quietly.
- Mackie?
- I’m fine as well, boss. Everything is fine.
- Liar – he spit-whispered turning his head away and I threw daggers at him.  
- Listen you two, whatever it is you have going on, you better sort it out quickly. I don’t want any, any – he emphasized the word – conflict in the crew. Is that clear?
- Crystal – I crossed my arms while Jake just nodded grumpily.
- Good. You can go Jake, Mackie a word in private.
- This is highly unprofessional of me to treat you differently, but as a relative I’m gonna ask you again – is it a complication for you to work with Jake?
- How much did she tell you? – I retorted – how much do you know?
-  A little.
- How little? – I insisted
- I know you split up in less than friendly atmosphere. By his fault, according to Simone. 
- Admitting the source now?
- Mackie – he exhorted – let’s act like adults.
- I’m fine. I’ll admit it was a bit of a surprise seeing him here , but it’s nothing. I’m not  like the romance movies girls, who falls apart upon seeing her ex. He was a jerk back then and apparently nothing has changed, so he is a warning of himself. I’ll manage.
- I hope you will. But I’m still going to watch you.
- If that doesn’t sound creepy I don’t know what does. Can I go now? I got work to do.
- You may go.
I don’t like it. At all. Why the hell Simone couldn’t keep her mouth closed? Now, I’m going to be observed by Howard. Fuck it! I busted through the office door and bumped right into the other part of this alleged personal conflict.  Again.
-Watch where you going, Mack.
-Well, maybe you should be more careful of where you’re standing. It seems like you were eavesdropping.
- You think you are so fucking important, don’t you? – he scoffed – I don’t care what the hell you were talking about with Howard. He has a thing for girls younger than him. Maybe you have intimate connection with him. – he took a step towards me. It felt like my body reacted on itself when my hand shoot forward and slapped him on the face with a loud noise, and unfortunately got the attention of Will and Tess who happened to be close enough to see it. Jake raised his head and looked at me, a mixture of sorrow, hurt and anger on his face. To be honest I was terrified of what just happened and instantly wanted to apologize but couldn’t force myself to do so. Instead, a memory came right at me.
Flashback, 5 years ago.
-What happened? – Simone exclaimed upon seeing Jake with reddened face and a bleeding cut on his cheek, automatically reaching towards him in order to help.
-Nothing – he scoffed turning away from her hand.
- He got in a fight, don’t you? – I was sitting on the couch with a book and unlike Simone didn’t want to push him into confessing anything. I was staying at the Cape Cod for a weekend, but was considering cutting the visit short, since the atmosphere was unbearable.
-I didn’t – he mumbled again.
-Well, this cut speak for itself, you know. You should have it patched up. – I pointed out.
- Let me help you, Jake – Simone reached for the first aid kit.
-I’m fine, Simone, leave it. – he was quick to leave the room we were in and disappeared inside his bedroom.
- I’m going to go talk to him – Simone stated
-Don’t – I stopped her – you know how he is. He will never talk when pushed. Let him come around.
- Weil, that is how you behave, isn’t  it? Unlike you I actually care about people, so maybe you are the one who should back off. It’s unbelievable that you have the audacity to call yourself his girlfriend if that’s how you act.
- I don’t label myself.
-But you have been together for the last couple years, haven’t you? So maybe you should act like one!
- Maybe – I retorted calmly, not responsive towards her harshness – and maybe I should reconsider coming here if that’s how you feel about me.
- No, wait, Mackie, I’m sorry. Please, stay. Jake has been distant lately and I guess it had some effect on me.
-He’s always distant, Simone.
- Not towards me. We used to be close and I’m afraid I might be losing him.
-Perhaps you should give free rein to him? Maybe you’re holding too tight?
 - No. I don’t. I just care about him. But this time, I’ll listen and give him space. I’m going for a walk, want to join?
- Thanks, but I want to finish the chapter. This book is extremely gripping.
-Nerd – she smiled at me playfully – see you later than.
It wasn’t long after she left, when Jake emerged from his room. I knew he would.
-Mackie.
- Jake.
-Can you….?
- Sure.
He came closer and sat down on the edge of sofa turning his hurt cheek towards me and letting me dress it properly. Anyone else at my place would probably start asking tons of questions, but that wasn’t me. We respected each other bounds and personal space and those where the pillars of bilateral trust and … other  emotions.
-I got in a fight – he finally gasped looking me straight into the eyes softly.
- I know – I caressed his cheek. – Do I have to ask? 
- It was because of you – he admitted – I wanted to….
-It’s ok  - I assured – you can say it.
- I overheard some guys talking shit about you.
- How so?
- They called you a New York slut. They said the soda water hit your head and you believe yourself better than anyone else.  
- Jake?
-Yeah?
-Was one of those boys Ryan Blake?
-Yes.
- You know what happened with him, right?
- You rejected him, right?
- I did. For some good reasons – I looked down.
- Hey, Mackie, I don’t need to know. Whatever this piece of shit says about you I know it’s not true – he grabbed my chin forcing me to look back at him and slightly leaned forward. –I just had to stand up for you. I know you.   
- I know you do –I whispered, our foreheads now touching in this gentle manner where you just enjoy the closeness of the other person. Breathing the other in and feeling the warmth coming from each other body. For some reason I felt safe with him, almost like at home. I really was in love with him, even if after all this time together we still didn’t use the words, this was one the moment that reminded me that even if none of us where particularly expressive and emotional we still belonged to each other and have this inner connection, that was  extremely rare to find.
- Good – he leaned forward and gently connected his lips to mine. It was only for a second and left me wanting more from and of him. When he pulled back I just smirked signalizing what I needed and he kissed me again, this time longer. This  intimate twinkling, as usual,  made me wonder how it was possible for him to be so passionate yet so gentle at the same time, but you know what they say about the quiet ones …. Still waters run deep.
His lips were just so soft and the way they felt on mine was something I was always longing for, even if I sometimes forgot that and needed a reminder. Being with him was challenging but every time he opened enough for a physical contact made up for all the silence and occasional understatements. I chuckled lightly when I felt his hands on my waist pulling me closer so I was now sitting on his lap letting his fingers roam over my back while I was softly playing with his hair. It was getting more and more heated by second and I was melting. Even though I was torn between the desire of being touched by him and the wish that one of us would stop it, before Simone return. Futile effort. I wanted him and he was more than eager to show me how much he wanted me too.
- Jake – I gasped feeling him lowering his kisses toward my neck finding my safe spot which made me moan quietly. Enough of encouragement for him to continue – we shouldn’t…
- Is that so? – he didn’t halt – do you want me to stop? – he muttered against my skin, reaching under my shirt to touch my bare skin. -  I missed you and it’s been a while since we had …..
- Jake – I gathered all my strength to pull away and he gave me sad and hurt look of a broken cat. Why was it so hard to resist him – what about Simone? She might be back any minute, now. She’s already not ok with us being together even if she covers up for it pretty well.
- Why should we care about that?
- I don’t want to risk her wrath. Do you?
- I hate you – he stopped his journey over my body, but still kept me close. – You ruined the moment – he whispered against my lips.
- Maybe. But if I can ruin it I can also create opportunity for another – I smirked putting my hands on his shoulder and kissing him briefly, almost unnoticeably.
- Tease. Remind me how do I bear with you? – he brushed his nose over mine and this felt more thrilling than previous heated kisses and touches. More private and emotional. A little gesture just between us.  
- The same way I deal with you, grumpy. Now, let me go, Jake.
- No – his grip tightened and it was getting hard to breathe – You’re just going to disappear in New York again. You are never here when I need and want you the most. And I always want and need you – he whispered in my ears and I almost gave in to his seduction.
- I hate it too, but let’s be at least marginally decent. Fucking on a couch in the middle of a room is not that.
-What if I don’t care? – he murmured to me again.
- Too bad for both of us, than – distracting him with touching his chest I managed to yank myself free and move away for a safe distance . Right in time, since Simone came inside the room a minute later. It was impossible for her not to notice our flushed cheeks, messy hair and fast breathing but she did not say a word about that.
- Anyone fancy some wine? – her smile could literally light up whole Cape Cod.
 End of flashback
“They called you a New York slut. I just had to stand up for you” – those few words were now ringing in my ears on repeat. How ironic that now he was the one to imply that I truly was one and did not feel very protective. How easy it is to forget who we were before. Funny how much people change.
-NY slut, huh? – I spit through clenched teeth.
- Mackie, I …. – he immediately came to realization of his words as the same memory flashed behind his eyes.
- Don’t …. Don’t you dare saying another word – I was a cold fury – I had enough – I moved past him, purposefully bumping his arm. Apparently a mistake since he grabbed my wrist, pulling me close to his chest, inches apart and trying to stop me – Kestrel…. – he whispered.
- Let her go, Jake – Will came to the rescue, his voice strong and commanding.
-Stay out of it Will.
- No, you stay away from me. – I pushed him which caused Jake to stumble and in effect  to let go. I used that as my opportunity to walk away, Will following me closely.
- Mackie! Wait, stop! What happened there? – he grabbed my arm from behind making me turn and face him.
- It’s nothing Will – I shrugged indifferently. – Just a little misunderstanding.
- It didn’t look like it. What is going on between you and Jake? You don’t seem like a person to slap a stranger out of the blue so there must be some history to it.
- Will, stop pushing me. It’s long gone story. Water under the bridge. The mist of history. A closed chapter. Whatever you want to call it.  The past is in the past.
- You are a terrible liar, you know.
- Can we just please, please, focus on the work? That is why we are here, right? And you shouldn’t have left Tess alone. By the way, care to share how the last night went? Like for example, why the hell was she walking home at night alone after partying?
- Wait. She what? – he turned around observing Tess who was now unsuccessfully trying to talk to Jake – is she …. wasted? – he whispered.
- Not anymore – I crossed my arm – but why didn’t you walk her home?
- I wasn’t attending the party. I just came to Home Bar, spend a while there and went back home, Sasha promised me to keep her safe.
- Russian boy, deal breaker – I muttered and shook my head – work on?
- Yes. Obviously. Now I need to keep myself busy too. But this talk is far from over after the shift is done. As your supervisor, I require answers.
- And what do you require as a friend? – I smiled lightly
- Did you just say ….?
- I said nothing – I chuckled – must be your imagination.
- Sure. Imagination – he agreed – imagine how much fun you are going to have preparing the dinnerware for tonight.
-Loads. Better start now. – I looked over his arm at Tess, who was now left alone since Jake stormed out, not sure of what do to. – Come on, baby monster. We got work to do.
***
Jake’s POV
I deserved that. I know.
She was always fierce on the inside. I remember her passion very vividly. All the times we ….. never mind.
And now, she’s fucking laughing with fucking Will next to her.
Good thing I’m over her. The past is in the past.
***
- So, Will. That women at the table yesterday? The one who talked about wine? Who is she? – Tess hands were busy with tablecloths and wipers she was folding but that didn’t stop her talkativeness.
- Simone. She is many things but she is not your friend. Trust me on that. Or, you can ask Mackie about it. They seem to know each other – he looked at me playfully -  But I’m not sure if you’ll get any answers from the mystery.
- She seems nice. Why such approach? – Tess insisted.
- Help me here, Mack  -Will turned towards me looking for support.
- I’m not going to ….
- …. mother me, I know – Tess rolled her eyes – you are annoying with that attitude, you know. – I just want to know about her.
- Simone is … really something. It’s worth having a relation with her, she can teach you a lot and definitely is a keeper, but getting too close to the fire result in burns. If you know what I mean.
- And what about Jake? They seem extremely close.
- They are like a package deal, but I’m not talking about him.
- Why not? You surely have a history together as well?
- Really, are you two ganging up on me? Fine, we were together for like 5 years IN THE PAST. And Howard is already up my ass about that, so could you just let go? Please?
- You were together? – Tess eyes widened – like together together?
- Yes, together together, but I’d prefer to keep it on DL, can you do the same? Both of you? – I eyed Will too and they nodded their heads – And if you want to get involved with him you have my blessing, permission whatever, ok? Just drop the subject.
- But I want to know …..
- Ok, I think I’m done here – Will raised his hands in surrender – I don’t want to hear you gossiping about personal details.
- Right. Me. Gossiping – I scoffed – Wait, Will, don’t leave me with her – I chased after the man who walked right to the front of the restaurant. – I’m going to prepare the tables!

BRUH!!
I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW AHHHH!
I'M SO TORN BETWEEN THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ONES!!!
Okay, the negative first.
ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?! REALLY?! YOU WENT AND KILLED BOYD LIKE THAT!!
I was all excited, because I was like "yes! Look at our little team go! Even when they're separated, they're still freaking awesome and kicking butt and have the best plans!"
And then they freaking FORCED DEREK to KILL ONE OF HIS OWN and I just....
THAT'S SO F*CKING MESSED UP!!! I HATE YOU ALL!!!
And then that entire sequence, with Boyd flashing back to Erica, and saying it was okay, because the feeling was worth it, and Derek just shaking with guilt and anger and hatred that you know he's pointing at himself and IT WASN'T EVEN HIS FAULT GOSH DARNAT!!
And then Cora crying, and Jennifer having to be there to see all of it because they brought her into it because they SUCK, and everyone just...AGHHHHH! WHY?! :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
...okay, now that I've said that, the things I did appreciate about that scene that also honestly made me want to cry even more.
The way the team all figured things out and managed to communicate and come up with a back-up plan.
The way Isaac just grabbed Jennifer and held her with everything he had because he knew keeping her safe was the most important thing he could do in that moment (do you think everyone knew, in that moment, that if anyone was gonna die, it was Boyd? Because I get the sense that Boyd knew, and as freaking upsetting as it was, he was ready for it, and it's sad, and I hate it, but ahhhh anyways).
The way Cora and Stiles and Lydia all ran in and were just immediately distraught at realizing that the plan didn't work out the way they wanted it too.
The way that Stiles, of all people, who still has beef with Derek, who still doesn't always trust Derek, who still blames Derek for a lot of things, put his hand on Derek's shoulder because he KNEW how much that hurt Derek, and no matter how he might feel about Derek, he knew that Derek would never, EVER want to hurt one of his own. And he knew how much it tore him apart to watch himself do it and not be able to stop it.
....and now I'm crying again. :'( :'( :'(
SO ANYWAYS SCOTT!!
Okay FIRST OF ALL, the second the mountain ash was a thing, I was like "GOD F*CKING D*MMIT THIS IS WHY YOU ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST ONE HUMAN WITH YOU!".
And then he tried SOOOO hard, and his eyes turned red AGAIN, and I soooo thought he was gonna make it, because he was soooo close, and then he didn't, and I was all prepared for my heart to break.
And then freaking SHERIFF NOAH STILINSKI WALTZES IN AND SAVES THE DAY (and for some reason did not question why Scott had such a hard time getting Deaton down, but I'll allow it lol) and comes in with the best line ever with "Let me give it a shot" and then LITERALLY gives it a shot and I just!!
THIS is why this man needs to find out. Bro he's in the middle of SO much of it already, and he's clearly fully capable of saving the day. At least give him a better chance at understanding and explaining it all lol.
And then one of the MANY things I have been waiting for...
THE TRUE ALPHA JOURNEY BEGIIIIIINS!!!
I'M SO F*CKING READY TO WATCH SCOTT FULLY BECOME A TRUE ALPHA!!!
I'M SO READY!!!!
LET'S GO BABY!!!
So anyways that was a rollercoaster of emotions, but it was a really good episode, and I have no idea when I'm gonna be able to watch the next one, but you know you'll all know when I do lol.
Tumblr media
Also as an aside, I'm glad Allison was smart enough to figure out that Gerard was alive, and I kind of hope she keeps going behind her dad's back, but secretly following everything he does just to prove him wrong lol. I mean, I love her dad, and I appreciate that he's trying to protect her, but also, again, WORK TOGETHER GODD*AMMIT. ...anyways.

I'm so sorry you had a crappy week Otter 🥺 I hope it's better now or at least that it's gonna start looking up soon!
It's funny you mentioned the unknowingly speaking spanish thing, because I do that all the damn time. English is not my first language but daily I find myself switching to english and then just being?? So confused when the people around me are not understanding.
End of the day, don't freak out if that does happen to you. Gestures is an universal language. You've got my whole heart as another bilingual person in the interwebs.

13, 14, 18? and i do have an extra question similar to 10—that's allowed—has any of your writing or that of someone else's stuck with you? a sentence or event or feeling?
I just answered all of this and it deleted itself!! AGHHHHH i hate the internet. Lemme try again but sorry, it'll probably be shorter and madder now!
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?
I'm not the right person for a like medical mystery hurt/comfort. Too close to home on that one (sorry to all the people who wanted an angsty follow up to Alone, just not my thing). I think a lot of what I write at this point comes pretty easily. Feelings! Longing! Being stuck! All that works well for me these days.
14. Do you lend your books to people? Are people scared to borrow books from you? Do you know exactly where all your “lost” books are and which specific friend from school you haven’t seen in twelve years still possesses them? Will you ever get them back?
I'll only loan ones that I'm not particularly attached to. And yes, Michelle does still have my copy of Finlay Turner is Killing It, thanks for asking!! (BTW please read this book, it's so funny, it's about a mystery writer who gets mistaken for a hitwoman and someone hires her to kill their husband LMAOOOO)
18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. Spicy addition: Questioner provides the passage.
Since you didn't pick one for me, here's one from Advice that I think is interesting:
Kate purses her lips, trying to remember. Everything before feels like a dream, like she only woke up to the harsh real world the day the phone rang.
“I was young,” she finally offers. “I think…you never think it’ll happen to you, you know? It’s always someone else—someone else’s brother, someone else’s child. Every time I’d see something in the news, or hear about something happening in Iraq, it didn’t feel real. It was like seeing a car wreck on the freeway; you’re like, ‘oh that’s so sad, I hope they’re okay’ but it never feels like it has anything to do with you, even though you’re driving on the same highway. It was always like, ‘that couldn’t happen to him. He’ll be fine.’”
This is a much bigger block of dialogue than I usually write. I try to never go more than two sentences without a break for an action beat, because people don't tend to talk like that. People tend to talk in shorter bursts, waiting for a listener to chime in or nod, say "oh man," something. Monologues aren't actually that common, and I think they're boring to read. Kate in particular doesn't ramble, doesn't say much. Her lines tend to be short and weighty, all of her words very purposefully chosen ("I just think we need to keep things, you know. Compartmented." That's so short but says SO MUCH.) So here I was pushing myself to the limit of how much she might talk, especially in such a tense and emotionally fraught moment, when she's trying not to cry in front of Jane.
I'm happy with how it turned out because I think it's still one thought strand, not a ramble of several connected thought stands that would need an action tag or break for an emotional beat. She isn't changing beats during the monologue, it's just that this thought strand includes an analogy that she has to explain.
I went back and forth on how to bring that in, if this would be one dialogue chunk or a few, but ultimately this is where I ended up and I'm happy with it.
(If you want to get nerdy with me about thought strands, beat changes, and action beats/dialogue tags, send me an ask and I'd love to get into it)

-go look at @petrichora-art the art they did of Hester and Anadil is WILD i love it (and i’m also the annoying creature that repeatedly requested it)
-look Hester and Anadil belong together i don’t make the rules
-favorite fics ever: @im-gay-and-mentally-unstable
-other favs: @simplybybea @tilda-rothery @spookystar29 @ambrsn
-read through the books it’s painfully obvious but SOMEONE refuses to actually write it canonically *cough cough SOMAN cough*
-Anadil by far my favorite character i love her so much aghhh
-and then Hester obviously
-hard Dovesso shipper
-i only accept Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron
-grandma dovey in the books is weird ok i like her character but not to ship with Lesso book-wise
-Sophie’s cool i suppose
-and Tedros is a Ken he just is
-he’s dumb af but i love him ok <3
-hort is a way of life
-hophie is shit i’m so sorry (i’m really not)
-tagatha’s fine i guess
STAR STABLE ONLINE
-i don’t actively post in ssoblr but i’ll pop in once and a while
-if you’re looking for an sso blog i absolutely recommend @jorvikwildhorse @everwindfields @juni-ravenhall @starbornsoulrider and some other people I’m definitely forgetting
-currently in Frost Valley I believe
-name is Hadley Truthstone, i’m probably on some really tall horse (or Nugget my Dartmoor)
HARLEY QUINN SHOW
-AGHHHHH
-i think Harley and Ivy are my spirit animals
-so i’ve watched each season several times…oops
-but honestly such a well done wlw couple i’m so happy
-only reason i didn’t say lesbian couple is cause i’m like 99% sure they’re both bi (Joker, Kiteman)
-Ivy is everything
-i have…opinions on s4
-they’re not all good
EVELYN HUGO
-honestly nothing to say here
-i mean fabulous book fabulous characters
-i’d die for Celia
-that’s about it really
And if you’ve somehow read this far…good job. here’s a cookie i guess 🍪
follow if you want. or don’t. i’m not forcing you (only secretly manipulating you behind the scenes until you accidentally find yourself clicking that follow button…just kidding. probably.)
good luck with whatever more productive things you’re doing with your life as i write this shitpost :’)
