find the word challenge

rules: share snippets of your work containing each of the words the previous poster selected for you (optional addition: if you can't find the word in your WIPs, or you simply don't have any WIPs, you can just write a sentence around the word)

thanks @the-likesofus for the tag!! very excited to see how many of these words I've used...

my words are: quiet, hold, cover, first, together, and small. unsurprisingly, my fake dating au (currently sitting at almost 30k words like it has been for the past few months...) has all of these words multiple times lol <3

quiet

Buck’s phone rings, and he pulls it out of his pocket, his hands shaking when he reads Bobby’s contact name. He answers before he can even register it. “Pops?” His voice is quiet and terrified.

hold

Hearing footsteps from his spot on the couch, Buck tenses as Nathan comes up the stairs. It’s been so long, but Buck can still recognize the man’s footfalls. He lets out a breath he’d been subconsciously holding when Nathan finally appears and moves towards one of the armchairs across from him instead of the couch.

cover

“Jurassic Park!” Chris yells, and Buck has to cover his ears against the sound, the kid’s excitement causing him to be louder than usual. “Please, Dad, I know it’s kind of scary, but they just put it back on Netflix, and I’ve seen it before! Plus, I’m ten now, I won’t have nightmares!”

first

“I don’t want you to get hurt again,” Eddie says, meeting Buck’s gaze. His eyes are soft and despite his words, they shine with support, and Buck thinks—not for the first time—how lucky he is to have a best friend like Eddie.

together

Nathan’s study abroad had been nearly over when Buck brought up the idea of him going to Los Angeles to fight fires and help people. Nate had just nodded before taking Buck’s hand and kissing him, saying he’d buy the plane tickets in the morning. Buck had assumed they’d be going back together to be together.

small

Eddie glares at Chim when he insists on playing with the station’s small Hildy gadget that they keep in the kitchen. They mostly use it to play music, but Chimney takes the opportunity to ask her a bunch of questions throughout the day and only stops when Eddie threatens to run her over with a fire truck after Chimney starts asking her questions about the 118 themselves.

words for people I tag: home, care, love, make, and dream

Last show: I'm watching derry girls with my roommate rn

When did I create this blog: 2014...15?? I dunno I was still in school lol it was years ago

What do I post: literally whatever the fuck I want lol. You can often tell when I'm thinking about/watch something cause I'll spam stuff. It's always been a mess like this so :P

Last Google search: kids on a slope, was trying to show my roommate the show to see if she knew what it was. I watched it years ago and I liked the jazzy vibes

Other blogs: made an art blog too keep all my art shit together, and my chrono trigger blog. Oh also I have a blog made specifically for my ct star trek au lol, I wanted somewhere to show off any art and lore that I could categorise nicely in order not to clog up my ct blog with my own shit lmao. The rest are just url hoards

Do I get asks: on occasion. It's always nice hehe

Why I chose this url: just wanted to take the numbers off and have a sleek look, couldn't have just adellama tho so put more of my nickname in it Lmao

Following: 588

Followers: 229

Average hours of sleep: anywhere between 4-7. I have trouble sleeping lmao

Dream job: honestly just something I can be creative with. I've always wanted to do something revolving around storytelling, so last year I started uni to get into film making and understand everything about making movies as much as I can. I worked as an editor last year at a local advertising place and that was really nice, was mostly in office and whenever I went on shoots with my boss I was just the helping hand and that kinda the vibe I want. Just working hard in something I know how to do pretty well so I can be confident in the end product - so I feel like doing concept art or cinematography or directing. Gotta learn a whole lot more about writing, I get excited about good concepts but I still need to learn a lot about how to get it across well with good writing Lmaooo so it's good I'm studying

Dream trip: I'd like to see Japan and Korea one day, new Zealand too. Tbh tho when covid has been taken care of, I wouldn't mind traveling around Australia more in the future and get to know the country. But I'd wanna go with a friend or two or something lol, not by myself haha. I've moved around so much growing up I didn't really care about traveling, and tbh I'm still a bit lowkey, atm (when covid is well and truly taken care of, I'm not silly) I'd only really travel to visit friends Lmao

Favourite food: I fucking love spaghetti bolognese lmao.. And tonkatsu... I like a good deal of Italian and Japanese food lol.

Last book I read: just finished skulduggery pleasant a week or two ago, just haven't really had the mood to read recently cause it's way too hot lol

Top 3 fictional universes you'd like to live in: uhhh, I gotta confess I watch a lot of dystopia universes Lmao and they're all terrifying or ugly jgfdghh. Uhm?? Living in an idyllic ghibli landscape? I would love to live in the castle in the sky landscapes they're gorgeous. Maybe also 1000ad from ct, they're having a nice chill time. Aaaand, maybe Vellie village from owl boy (before the attack lol) cause FLOATING ISLANDS
