#based on real life

Because I saw a post about how modern AU WWX would probably actually be as tall as LWJ, if not taller, since so many modern AUs don't feature him suffering as much childhood privation as canon, which reminded me of another thought I have had, about how an early life period of interrupted growth can in fact just delay a person's growth spurts rather than eliminating them. Thus: WWX who gets confusingly taller after graduating from college.

3 People Wei Ying Talked to About Suddenly Getting Taller and 1 Person Who Definitely Noticed On His Own

[Now also on AO3]

Wen Ning

Wei Ying looked down at his feet, perplexed. "Wen Ning?" he yelled down the hall. "Did something weird happen to the washing machine that you didn't tell me about?"

Wen Ning popped his head around the door to Wei Ying's room. "No? I don't think so."

"Then why are all my pants suddenly too short?" A new thought occurred to him and he looked up, now delighted. "Wen Ning! Are you actually pulling a prank on me? I know I don't have all that many clothes, but still, this must have taken so much work! I respect the dedication." He held out a fist.

Wen Ning just blinked at him. "I think... maybe you got taller, actually?"

Wei Ying scoffed. "I'm way too old for a growth spurt. Seriously, did Nie Huaisang put you up to this?"

Wen Ning gave up arguing and simply produced a tape measure instead.

Wen Qing

Wei Ying burst into Wen Qing's lab, which he might have felt worse about if she hadn't been babysitting an experiment while no one else was around. He still received an impressive glare, but he didn't have time to worry about that right now.

"Wen Qing, I need you to test me for every weird kind of chemical exposure you can think of!"

She blinked at him, looking remarkably like her brother for a moment. "Wei Ying, you're in computer science. Exactly when do you come in contact with chemicals?"

"Uh. A leak on the science campus somewhere?"

"What is actually wrong with you? Tell me in the next," she glanced at the clock, "three minutes or leave."

"I apparently grew another inch in the last month without noticing. That can't be natural. I'm 23."

She stared at him for a moment, frowned, and then her expression cleared. "You said once that you had a bad time when you were younger. Stopped growing for a while."

"Why do you even remember that?" Wei Ying asked with an uncomfortable laugh, looking away. He must have been drunk; he didn't usually bring that time of his life up in any detail. It just made people sad.

Wen Qing turned away briskly, ignoring his minor display of emotion, and checked some readouts he was pretty sure hadn't actually changed in any way yet. "Well, that's why. Your growth spurts just got delayed, not erased. It's normal. I'll send you some references tomorrow."

He swept her up in a relieved hug. "Thank you, Qing-jie. Even if this does mean I'm not developing some weird superpower mutation."

She poked him cruelly in the ribs to get him to let go. "Go away, you're distracting me."

~*~

Jiang Cheng

"You what?!" Jiang Cheng demanded at full volume. It'd been a while since they'd managed to get together in person--Wei Ying had nearly forgotten how red with frustration Jiang Cheng could get.

Wei Ying grinned and bounced a little on his toes to really rub it in. "Grew another inch."

"No! This isn't allowed! The universe can't do this to me!"

"What's the problem, little brother?" Wei Ying edged closer so he could prop his elbow on Jiang Cheng's shoulder and really lean on him. "I think I should get jiejie to measure me again and mark it on the door frame. Really make it official."

"Don't you dare!"

"Why don't I ask her now, so she'll be all ready when we see her next weekend?" Wei Ying fished out his phone and then held it up over his head, laughing, as Jiang Cheng lunged for it.

Jiang Cheng's eyes narrowed. "An inch isn't really that much," he growled, and hooked Wei Ying's leg in a takedown they'd both learned when they were 11.

Wei Ying tossed his phone out of wrestling range and turned his full attention to finding a hold that would make Jiang Cheng tap out.

~*~

Lan Zhan

"Wei Ying."

Most people claimed Lan Zhan's voice (and face) didn't have any expression, but Wei Ying could clearly hear the shock underlying his name.

"Lan Zhan!" he returned brightly. "You're back! Did you have a good trip? You've been gone for months and months!"

Wei Ying was used to the intensity of Lan Zhan's regard under normal circumstances--one of the many things he loved about being friends with him--but he didn't think he was imagining that it was particularly intense today.

"It was as I texted you," Lan Zhan said shortly, and then, surprisingly, continued before Wei Ying could get a teasing reply in. "Wei Ying... did you get taller?"

"Oh, that!" Wei Ying felt himself start to blush, for some reason. "Yeah, I did. It was so weird at first, but Qing-jie assures me it's normal, and I've almost gotten used to it now. It was just an inch but I had to go buy all new... pants..." He trailed off as Lan Zhan pushed into his personal space much closer than he ever had without Wei Ying initiating it first, as far as Wei Ying could recall. "Hi?"

They were nearly chest to chest now, and he could see it when Lan Zhan actually had to tilt his chin up just a bit to meet Wei Ying's eyes.

"Hello," Lan Zhan said, grave and low and very, very focused.

Wei Ying wasn't entirely sure what was happening right now, but he was pretty sure he was into it.

Chris, in an otherworldly voice: I am a child of faith and patience. Athena: Bobby, what did you do to my grandchild?! Bobby: I swear it wasn't me! I was with you the whole time! I don't know what's going on! Chris: Come forth, my lost lambs, and pay tribute to my hungry tummy. Athena: ...Did you forget to give him snacks? Bobby: In my defense, this did not come up on the long list of things Buck and Eddie warned me would happen.

My eyes find you {crush x reader}

Key:

Y/n: your name

C/n: crush name

F/n: friend name

A/f/n: another friend name

C/c/n: class clown name

A/n

Yooo I'm back cuz I got a new crush and there is a possibility he likes me and this happened in class so :)

Y/n was bored.

The geography teacher kept talking about how winds and sea breeze affected the temperature of the climate and it took so much willpower for her to stay awake.

Her eyes drifted to the back of the class where C/n sat, and it was so normal for her that she didn't realize she was staring at him till they suddenly made eye contact.

Flustered, she trained her gaze on her textbook, her heart beating out of her chest.

"F/n, can you check if C/n is looking at me?" She asked her friend.

F/n smirked at her but listened to her friends request.

"Yep." Her friend said and Y/n could practically hear  the teasing tone in her voice.

Her breathing faltered as her friend informed her that he stopped.

She looked over at him through her eyelashes and smiled as he raised his hand at a question the teacher asked.

Nerd she thought adoringly.

......

The national anthem blared through the class speakers as everyone stood up to pay their respects.

Y/n was giggling at a joke her friend said when the familiar anthem stopped and everyone started packing up.

As she was fitting everything in her book (or trying to) A/f/n came up to her.

"Hey Y/n, C/n was staring at you the entire time the national anthem was playing?"

"WHAT" She screeched, then realized where she was and lowered her volume.

"Are you sure it was me?" She asked.

"Bro of course it was you, im sure." A/f/n confirmed, lips pulled into a teasing smile.

"Oh we talking about Y/n's crush?" F/n came over.

"No!" Y/n said at the same time A/f/n said "yes!"

"Hmm, no wonder she's blushing?" F/n said and then lowered her voice, "he was staring at you during English period too. Also when C/c/n made a dirty joke, I saw him look at you for your reaction."

Y/n blinked, not quite believing her ears.

Just then the bell rang and everyone ran out of class to catch their bus, leaving Y/n with a flush to her cheeks and confusing thoughts.

Antara Perasaan dan Rasionalitas

Terkadang rasionalitas memang tidak mampu bekerja dengan baik jika dihadapkan pada sebuah perasaan. Terlebih lagi jika itu perasaan seorang wanita.

Melihat orang-orang terdekatku seperti kehilangan kemampuannya dalam berpikir jernih, ketika dihadapkan dengan sebuah perasaan dalam sebuah hubungan, memang cukup untuk membuat pelajaran yang amat berarti. Bahwa sebuah perasaan memang teralu membahayakan jika pemiliknya tidak mampu mengontrolnya dengan baik.

Sebab, sebuah kenyataan tidak mampu di lihatnya dengan baik, sebuah kebenaran tidak mampu diterima, sebuah kesalahan selalu mudah dimaafkan, dan yang paling mengerikan, kesulitanya ia dalam mengambil sebuah keputusan bijak untuk keberlangsungan ketenangan hidupnya. Untuk seseorang yang sudah kehilangan kejernihan berpikirnya akibat dibutakan perasaanya tersebut, akan sangat kesulitan untuk keluar dalam sebuah hubungan yang tidak sehat .

Tapi Bukankah memang dalam sebuah perasaan tidak ada kata rasionalitas? Sebab kenyataan apa pun yang ada di depan orang yang sedang jatuh cinta, mereka selalu punya alasan untuk buta.

Aku sedikit pesimis dengan pemikiran rumitku ini, aku hanya takut untuk tidak akan lagi membiarkan diriku merasakan perasaan tersebut sebab selalu berada di ambang ketakutkan akan kata disakiti dan ditinggalkan. Aku seperti berada di tengah-tengah tali tipis antara perasaan dan rasionalitas. Aku selalu membentak diriku untuk tidak merasakan perasaan sentimental apa pun yang kelak akan membuatku terluka ke sekian kalinya.

Aku mungkin trauma. Atau mungkin aku hanya tidak mau lagi terluka. Atau aku hanya belajar dari sekian banyak cerita. Yang pasti, aku tidak mau mengulang kisah yang sama seperti mereka.

"Let me see... One cup of vegetable oil."

"..... Can you repeat that, please?"

"One cup of vegetable oil."

pov: you’re at the gym and someone is hogging the machine you planned on using next and you go whine to your personal trainer deku that you can’t do the routine he made for you so he matches over there and tells off the hogs for you - it’s the first time you see him angry and it leaves you more speechless than you expected

Imagine this. You like someone but they don’t like you back. They in fact do not like your gender. But when they do date someone they’re just like you. They’re basically a gender swap version of you. And as you watch them together and in love you can’t help but think if only I was a different gender.

This definitely isn’t based on an irl situation. I am taking show recomms if there’s somn similar to this.

Karen: You know, babe, Chimney told me the most curious thing today. Hen: No, he did not. Karen, accusingly: So this isn't a receipt from that restaurant that you told us we were going to go together this weekend?! Hen: I am pleading the fifth! Karen: You're a traitor! Hen: I was hungry!

Caitlyn is the type of person to stretch, and when something pops she moans very loudly instinctively, and then just keeps going with her life.

If there's anyone with her that blushes at her or stares at the lewd noise she just made she just stares at like "...what?"

Mencintai seseorang bukan cuma soal perasaan ingin memberi mereka sesuatu. Melainkan rasa putus asa ingin memberikan mereka sesuatu.

~ Reply 1988

Aku tidak pernah membenci kemiskinan, lebih dari rasa benciku hari ini. Di saat aku tidak kuasa menahan sekat di tenggorakan menahan tangis dan rasa putus asa melihat aku tidak bisa memberikan apa yang orang-orang yang kusayang butuhkan. Merasa tidak berguna karena tidak bisa mengusahakan yang terbaik untuk orang-orang yang kita cinta adalah salah satu patah hati terbesar menurutku.

Aku sangat bisa menahan diri untuk membeli sesuatu yang sudah sangat lama aku ingin atau butuhkan. Tetapi aku sangat tidak kuat mendengar mama atau adikku menginginkan sesuatu, atau perlu sesuatu.

Aku bisa menahan rasa perih karena tak makan seharian. Tetapi aku tidak kuasa menahan rasa sedih ketika tidak bisa membelikan sesuatu yang keluargaku pengen makan.

kadang aku merasa bahwa, rasa cintaku kepada mereka, sudah melebihi rasa sayangku kepada diriku sendiri.

Setiap malam aku selalu bergelut dengan rasa bersalah, karena merasa belum bisa memberikan mereka apa-apa. Aku selalu berpikir..., "Apa lagi yang bisa kuberikan untuk mereka?" "Apa lagi yang harus kuusahakan untuk mereka?" sampai aku terkadang lupa untuk bertanya, "Apakah aku di sini sendiri sudah hidup dengan layak?"

Dalam banyak hal, aku terkadang membenci diriku sendiri. Salah satunya adalah ketika aku mencintai seseorang, akan kulakukan apa pun untuknya, sekalipun itu hal yang melukai diriku sendiri. Aku tidak lagi mampu memikirkan harga diri, apalagi berpikir egois untuk memiliki sendiri.

Terkadang, ketika menyadari aku begitu tulusnya dalam menyayangi seseorang. Aku selalu berpikir..., apakah di luar sana, ada seseorang yang diam-diam menyayangiku segitu penuhnya? Apakah di saat yang bersamaan, mereka juga menyayangiku sama seperti caraku menyayangi mereka?

Ini bukan berarti aku mengharapkan balasan yang sama dari apa yang telah kuperbuat. Aku hanya berharap bahwa, kelak aku bisa memiliki seseorang yang membuatku ikut merasakan, bagaimana rasanya dicintai dan dijaga sepenuh hati.
