You lay down beside Eddie in your room, legs tangled to one another and your fingers brushing over Eddie’s chest softly as he talks about his campaign last night. His voice is low but full of interest and delight, D&D has always been his escape from harsh reality which is why he treasures the fantasy game so much.
“And the young ones: Dustin, Mike, and Lucas, they- oh wow, your nails are so pretty” he gets distracted and grabs your hand on his chest and look at your newly done nails, it had black and white stars over a nude base color. “Thanks, I did it myself” you reply. “Really? Y/N, that’s so cool! Do you think you can do mine?” he asks.
“Sure!”
You hurry to your drawer and grab the necessary items you’ll use. You motion Eddie to sit on the floor and you settle your things beside you, “I already have an idea for your nails, I’m thinking of putting Hellfire’s logo. What do you think?” you ask, grabbing some alcohol pads, nail file, and buffer to prep his nails. “I was actually gonna ask you to do the same thing” he chuckles.
“Let’s start!” you begin by trimming his nails down, then you buff and file his nails followed by cleaning the dusts off with an alcohol pad.
You grab the black polish and start painting his nails, then white on his middle and ring fingers. Eddie stays as stiff as possible so you won’t have a hard time and mess up. He glances at you ever so often with so much adoration, you looked so cute all focused on working his nails, your pretty eyes filled with so much concentration.
The base colors have dried after around 15 minutes, you grab your brush for lining and start on his white nails. You start Hellfire’s logo on his middle finger, you pull his hand closer to you so you could see clearer, his nail beds are bigger than yours which makes it easier to do nail art on them. Eddie tilts his head to the side to see your progress clearer, wow. he thought to himself. You’re so good and not to mention artistic as well. You then draw a dice on his index finger and let it dry as you work on his other hand.
After a long 3 hours his nails are finally finished and fully dried, you pack your things and put them back in your drawer while Eddie just stands there staring at his nails with a huge smile on his face. “Y/N, baby, my love, you’re so amazing. This is just so cool, you’re cool. I want them to stay forever, how long will they last?” he rambles, his eyes never leaving his nails.
You put the last of your nail art materials in the drawer and close it, “thank you, Eddie. Don’t worry they’ll stay on you for quite a time, give or take 2-3 weeks. I used gel polish so they’re pretty tough” you reply as you approach him. He faces you and squeeze your cheeks, causing your lips to pucker. he places a quick peck on them.
“You’re so talented. I love you”

yuugehn said 03
Note: @yuugehn, you’ve been super kind and generous with me! I love it when people share, and I’ve loved these discussions! I’ve tagged them # yuugehn said to pay homage to you and do a little bit of a play on the Tumblr comment structure lol. Thanks for stopping by with such great conversations!
Tumblr media
these blog post replies make my day 🥺😭💜 i’m so glad you feel seen! your fans, such as myself, have the duty of making sure you know that your words reach us. & what a quote from your coworker. i pondered it a minute & my reaction was a slow 🤯. my takeaway from it is that living is yet another medium to express ourselves. am i missing anything here? what else could it mean?
Yes, your take on that quote speaks to me very much! How we express ourselves at any moment in time could be interpreted by someone as art. Isn’t that what we like to do with our fics? Little moments that we notice that are just so beautiful or poetic that we call attention to them? We just are. We can just be. (Also lol “fans”? We’re all just a bunch of people hanging out! 💜) 
re: attraction to someone in their element - it truly is magical to see people shine like this, just as your creative writing with all the depth of your layers & character building shines to me. 💖
Aw, well that’s very sweet, thank you! 
yay~ i’m glad my speculation about the title was right, but i love that there’s more it represents! honestly, you’re the one indulging me. i will always want to learn more about your story-building, whether it’s the title, characters, how long it took, your process, what inspired you, etc…i’m happy to take things as they are, of course, but even happier to feel like i get a complete picture. so please indulge me whenever you feel good about doing so!
Haha, well I’ll keep sharing, and I’m happy to get to have some time with you and anyone else who’s interested in this sort of stuff! I’ve actually started some posts on how I use psychological frameworks in my characterizations, so maybe I’ll keep pulling that thread for as long as it wants to be pulled!
-the supporting melody in a musical piece. i have so much to say about this, ahhh. (for context, i use to play violin then bass in orchestra so) i looked up sleigh ride & listened specifically for the oboe. to be transparent, i had to also look at the oboeists to pick out what they were playing but…wow!! what a lovely countermelody in what i honestly believed was a run-of-the-mill christmas carol…
you’re totally right about supporting melodies adding extra touches of magic & having to know what you’re looking for. i love the way you describe this 🥺
& now that we’re talking about it, i can actually think of a couple of examples where i feel the countermelody actually shines so brightly that i enjoy listening to the instrumentals rather than the song in its entirety: hamilton the musical’s “take a break” & ne-yo’s “when you’re mad.” bts (can’t not talk about them haha) countermelodies also really stand out to me! particularly fake love, mikrokosmos, and anpanman. 💜💜💜
Violin and bass are so beautiful! Pleeeease, I can’t believe you looked it up! Haha, you saying that made me want to look up the sheet music and reminisce! Having a wide range of experiences with instruments shows that you have talent in being able to understand those layers to it. Very much appreciate that. 
I agree with you about the songs you listed, especially Hamilton’s “Take a Break”, as well as the BTS instrumentals! I gravitate to those instrumentals more, and this discussion is making me think of how production also adds different flavors to things. Is the production sparse? Does it leave room to breathe? Is it lush, where every corner of the page is stuffed? My brother and I were talking about this when comparing two songs: Uptown Boyband’s “I GO 아이고”, which I’m obsessed with right now, and Agust D’s Daechwita. The contrast made for a super lively discussion about our tastes, as well as how the music videos parallel the song structures themselves. Uptown Boyband’s video is sparse, there’s space, but there’s still a story, just a simpler one. Agust D’s is lush, full, sweeping, has two storylines with several characters, cameos even, lots of color and action and sets. I could go on for days. It’s fascinating.
random addition: i also have a background in dance (specifically, hip-hop) & i absolutely love how dance can highlight different parts of a countermelody or layer of an instrument that you may not have noticed in the background. i’m not sure if you’re familiar with the term already, but it’s called musicality!
You are so talented!! Yes, I love musicality! Do you think that your chosen instruments or the styles of music / dance you gravitate to influences or reflects that? I also sing, and I grew up singing Alto II in choirs, so I learned more about all of the layers that come together to create a whole piece. Most of the time, alto parts serve as foundation upon which other melodies build, but if I hadn’t learned those parts, I wouldn’t have a greater appreciation for musicality in general. Really tuned my hear and attention to see what might go unnoticed, and not just in music, but in life.
-a metaphor for rapline and stationary girl’s work as producers/songwriters, but not main performers. yes, your entire sentence describing this, yes. it’s like what is the actor or actress without the writer’s script? the director’s vision?
-“counter” as wordplay to introduce new and different ideas, and “melody” to show that those new and different ideas might actually be better than you thought. you’re totally namjooning me here & i embrace it with open arms. 🤗 thank you for sharing why you linked the two ideas - what a wonderful story of discovery & realization…i love that we can find such a deep joy i’m the serendipitous events that happen to us. even if they don’t seem serendipitous at first. 😅
-finally, the simple fact that beanie boy and stationary girl’s melodic relationship developed at a literal counter. this one was a super fast 🤯🤯🤯. i am bursting at the idea with you. god, what a masterpiece. once i finish reading through all of your works, countermelody will be my first re-read. i have just met you (& only virtually) but i love you already. 🥰
“Namjooning me” hahaha aw, I’ve so loved these little chats! I think this one was about all these different factors that somehow come together to produce art. Which is funny, because we started out talking about how art is life. Sending you love as well, and hoping that today, you remember that you’re part of that expression, through your dance, your music, your own nuances -- all the little things that make up your own musicality! 💜

JSE Renaissance Week - Day 4
Day 4 (June 28th): Artist’s/Writer’s day. Do you have favorite pieces of fanart, an edit, or a fic that you or someone else has created? Reblog that sh*t with a comment saying how much you love it– it’ll probably make someone’s day! Bonus points if you create something for this. Extra bonus points if it’s a collaboration with another community member!
BOLD OF YOU ALL TO ASSUME I HAVE ANY EGO ART I’VE CREATED THAT I STILL FEEL OKAY POSTING. I’VE IMPROVED SINCE THEN AND IT IS NASTY. EGO ART COMING MAYBE EVENTUALLY.
YEAH THAT’S RIGHT I USED TO MAKE EGO ART. ONLY OG FOLLOWERS WILL REMEMBER THAT SHIT. PLEASE DON’T GO LOOKING FOR IT, I DON’T LIKE MY OLD ART.
Until then I scream like a moron about my favorite creators, some of which have actually moved on from the JSEC but I love them anyway so they can fight me in a dark alley for having the audacity to love them.
*BIG GAY INHALE*
@turquoisemagpie. YOU ABSOLUTE TRADITIONAL ART WIZARD. MY GOD. Your art style has me head over heels all over again with every piece you post. You’re where like- 14 year old me wanted her art to be. You are so insanely talented, your style is amazing, your range is mindblowing, and I cherish the commission of my infamous Bunker Trouble Trio SO MUCH. It was my laptop’s wallpaper for probably over a year. If I hear your commissions are open, I will be HEAVILY considering coming back. I could write an entire post just gushing about how much I love your art. Always keep creating, even what you might think is your worst or less than your usual quality would more than likely be something I’m still working my way up to. You are the DEFINITION of goals. <3
@septic-dr-schneep. WHERE DO I START. Hyperfixation or no hyperfixation, your work ethic is INSANE. I can’t BELIEVE how much you crank out in one hour let alone one day. Even if that’s slowed since before my little Tumblr break, you still blow my mind. I feel drained of creative juices just managing out one long piece for my OCs! Keeping track of a whole series of blurbs, defining canon and not within those, and coming up with a coherent story through each blurb, BASED OFF REQUEST PROMPTS FROM RANDOM PEOPLE? That’s AMAZING. I admire that passion you have so much, and even your breaks and burnouts don’t stop you. I LOVE that!
@lum1natriix. GOD where do I start with your gifs. JSE or other content, they are STUNNING. They’re such smoothly moving, high quality. You put so much work into them and it SHOWS, and I don’t even know where you would Start with making one, it’s always sounded like a Big Process, but your finished products look so awesome! No matter what you make gifs (or edits) of nowadays, I still adore your work. :)
@huffletrax. YOUR ART STYLE IS ADORABLE. It’s so squishy and fun and your coloring is IMMACULATE. And I love that despite your cute, round style, you still really pull off those angsty doodles you make occasionally. >:D You have a range and I’ve loved watching your improvement from the time I was new on Tumblr up to now. Keep going!!
@huffle-dork. I hope this doesn’t count as a mass post because BOY YOU DESERVE SOME APPRECIATION. You have crazy talent, both in your characters AND BACKGROUNDS. MY GOD DUDE, YOUR BACKGROUNDS. Even the ones that are just maybe a swoosh of colors look BEAUTIFUL. Dare I say they’re print worthy all on their own! I love the way you color things, and your style has such range too! Sometimes I can see similarities in my art to yours, and that’s been such a helpful way of keeping my motivation to keep improving up. I admire your art so much, and I love your Subnautica Egos series. <3
@d-structive. GOALS. JUST- GOALS. AGH. I love your style range so much! Your usual squareish stuff, your chibi stuff, your silly shitpost style (dare I callback to the buff ballerina Jameson,,,). All of it!! There’s just something so fun and fluid about it, yet its so square and neatly sharp at the same time! You balance those sorts of elements so well in your art, and I really love your ego designs too. <3 You probably have one of the most easily identifiable Marvin designs in the community, and he’s a little sneaky bastard man. >:D
@spunketpunk. BRUH DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY ANYTHING CAUSE LIKE. WOW. Your COLORING. Your art POPS and its so fucking cool. I love neon and saturated colors and its so rare to find artists who do (at least in my experience) and that’s something that seems like a huge part of your medium and I LOVE THAT. It makes your art insanely unique, and I love the aesthetic of those colors combined with your usually sketchy, messy lineart. Just- *chef’s kiss.* Your originality is fantastic, never lose that no matter what you explore. <3
@dumbthinmint. HEY WHAT’S UP LENGTHY SUPER DEVELOPED AU MAKER BUDDY?? LIKE HOLY SHIT DUDE. The lengths you go research and lore-wise for your AU? BRUUHHH. *slams hands on table* INSANE. And the way you make theory posts IN REFERENCE TO IT? That makes your theorizing stuff SO UNIQUE, I love it! Even when I feel like I can’t push my Ego AU lore with my friends too much further, you’re out here constantly dropping BOMBS of lore and honestly that makes my personal motivation with my own stuff soar right back up. I LOVE watching your AU unfold and progress, and your dedication to it is stunning. :D
There’s so many other artists, writers, editors & more I could tag but I don’t want this post getting 53826 miles long. :’D Just know that if any of you create things and I follow you, I think you’re doing great, I admire your stuff, and I hope you keep it up, no matter if its JSE related or not. <3

Yandere Sub AU (Fairytale AU) - Tokiya Ichinose ver.
    Ever since Tokiya was a young boy he always loved music. He wanted to pursue it as a career and travel around the world sharing his love for the art. His parents however did not support this wish of his. No matter how hard he worked or how talented he was his parents did not want to join in on this journey of his life. Leaving him by his lonesome as he struggled through.
    He worked very hard and was an amazing vocalist. He would always take small gigs and do outdoor work for small tips. Yet it was hard to live with that sort of salary. With no parents or someone to rely on he had to get another job alongside trying to make his dreams work. Day in and out he worked hard in his job and tried to get his dreams rolling.
    It ended up becoming the same repeated pattern everyday. Work then focus on his dreams second. There were times he thought he would never be able to accomplish what he wants. The flame inside of him burning lower and lower.
    On a usual monday afternoon he was stacking books on shelves as he normally does. How he did it was automatic due to doing the repeated action so many times. Occasionally a person would interrupt this pattern to ask about something, which he would reply to quickly and politely.
    “Umm, excuse me.” Someone caught his attention breaking his usual flow. He gave them a polite smile, “Yes, what may I help you with?”
    The person holds up a music book, “I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of your music books?” He points and tells them where they can find them before returning to his work. Except the person stays.
    “Do you need my help with something else?” He asks them, being slightly bothered by their presence. He watches them shift uncomfortably, “W-Well, I don’t really know what to get. So could you help me choose?”
    He gives them a simple form of agreement then sets down the book he was putting on the shelf before leading them to the music section. From there he asked what level they were, “excuse me, but how advanced are you in music?” He watches them think before giving him an answer, “I know how to play the piano well, but I can’t play complicated pieces yet.”
    He thinks over their words before picking out a few books in the section, “here, these should work for your level. Then this one should help to challenge you so you can move on.” The person’s face lights up as he explains each book chosen in detail. They accept the books and tell him, “Wow! You really know a lot about music! Are… or were you involved with it somehow?”
    Their words leave him speechless as he wasn’t expecting them to be that impressed. Finding the words he says, “...I’m involved with music. I do some gigs from time to time, but it’s mostly outside work.” He sees them bubble up with excitement.
    “Really?! Can I watch you perform sometime?” There’s a sparkle in their eyes. He smiles a small smile and is about to reply when someone interrupts, “Ichinose, stop talking about your hobbies and get back to work.” They jump in surprise while he’s used to this. He gives them an apologetic expression while his eyes are clouded over in a deep sadness.
    Before the person he helped leaves they whisper something to him, “don’t worry, I’ll look all over town to see you perform if I have too.” Their smile is incredibly bright as they give him a ‘thanks’ before walking off to go buy their new books. He stares at them in silent awe before going back to his original mundane task at hand.
    A few days later in the central town square he sets up the few things he has which consists of a wooden box, a can for tips, and then his sheet music which he keeps beside him just in case he may need it. Yet he already knows all the songs by heart. Today as he gets ready he can only hope that the person from a few days past ends up hearing his song.
    He takes a deep breath in then sings. He sings with a brighter flame inside his heart with as much passion as he can muster. Quite a few onlookers watch him sing but still not the one he was hoping for. When he sings his last song someone shuffles their way up in front to watch him. That person is them.
    He gives them the best performance he can and once he’s done he bows to his audience. They clap at his public concert and when he stands back up he’s looking at them. Clapping happily and bouncing in awe.
    Once the clapping dies down the people make their way to give him whatever spare change they have. As the people clear out he finds the last one standing to be the person from earlier. They walk up to him with a smile on their face.
    “Did you enjoy it?” He asks them with a hopefulness inside him. They eagerly nod their head, “Yes! I did! It was amazing! I never saw anything like that before!” Their comments and praise made him happy. Like what he was doing was finally worth it. Like he should continue with his dreams.
    “Oh! That reminds me!” They suddenly exclaim causing him to look at them in confusion. They dig around in the book they are carrying before pulling some papers out and extending them his way.
    “Here, these are for you!” They smile as they hold the papers out. He takes them and looks them over. They are compositions. He looks back up at them, “Why are you giving these to me?” They end up blushing at his words.
    “Y-You see, once I met and talked to you… I suddenly heard a melody to play. So the song is inspired by you, and since you sing… maybe you could write lyrics to them?” They talk bashfully as they get their reasoning out. He takes another glimpse at the compositions noticing their name in the top right corner. He thinks about how much they must believe in him to give him a song. They support his dreams.
    “Thank you for these songs. I’ll write fitting lyrics for them.” He gives them a small smile of hope as they bring their book in front of them and hug it to their chest. They look down at the ground as they smile. Something crosses their mind before looking back up at him.
    “I-If you would like… and if you like my songs. Then possibly… we could work together?” They tilt their head to the side. Someone wants to share his dreams with him? He never thought that someone would want to join in with him. He thought this was all just a lone journey and that he wouldn’t have anyone to share his joys and pains with. A spark of something shines in his eyes.
    “Yes, I would like to work with you from now on.” He bows at them in agreement making them do a quick curtsy/bow back. When they spring back up they give him an encouraging smile, “I can’t wait to start working with you!”
    The two of them share a few more details and where they will meet up and practice before going their own way. Both of them are light and happy at the prospect of the future. For the next few weeks the performer works on writing lyrics to the songs he got and when the two meet up they work on the songs together.
    Doing this however pushes the performers job to the back of his mind. Still going to work to pay his bills but not really getting into the usual patterns he normally does. Causing him to do less than perfect work. That only became more prominent with them coming into the store.
    “Hey, Tokiya!” They shout and wave at him as they walk up. He pauses his current task to give them a smile.
    “I think changing these measures makes it sound and flow better with your lyrics here.” They point to the changed part in the score. He looks it over and gives his agreement. They talk over the piece some more, before they are once again interrupted.
    “Talking about music again Ichinose? You know I can tell your work is really slacking lately too. Maybe if you were just as focused as you are in your hobby then you could possibly keep your job.” The two of them look at his boss.
    “I would prefer it if you didn’t call it a hobby.” He stares at the man knocking down his dream. All he does is laugh, “Do you really think you can be a singer without having to work another job? Come on Ichinose, you need this job.” Tokiya can feel a deep pit starting to form in his stomach. He doesn’t need this job. All he needs is them and their music.
    “You’re wrong. I don’t need this job.” He takes off his apron and places it on the books, “I quit.” Both his boss and them are shocked at his words and actions.
    “Let’s go.” Tokiya says to them as he walks by. The boss is trying to find his bearings as they snap out of their state of shock to follow after him.
    “T-Tokiya… w-wait! Don’t you think that’s being too rash?” They ask him as they leave the bookstore. He stops to turn around at them, “It’s fine, I don’t need that job. All I need is our music and you.” The composer can’t help but to feel butterflies in their stomach. They look away with a blush forming up to their ears.
    “D-Do you really feel that way? I-If you’re quitting because of me, then maybe this wasn’t a good idea to work together…” Tokiya has to convince them that they were the right choice, that they were the one he wanted to be with all the time with no interference from his job.
    He walks closer to them and grabs their arms. They look up at him with the blush still on their face, with their eyes looking lovestruck.
    “Everything will be alright. Now we have more time to focus on our music and each other. Let’s make our dreams come true together.” They nod their head slowly at him. In the heat of the moment, the both of them close their eyes and lean closer. Feeling their lips connect together. Only parting when they need to breathe.
    He brings them into a hug planning on not ever letting his precious composer go. He won’t give up the only person who supported his dreams. Together they’ll reach that happily ever after.
   With no one to support his dreams he was by himself. Now he has you to help make it all possible. The missing beam of support to help him reach his goal.

hii! I'm not having the best night and I felt like compiling a list of my favorite fics that never fail to make me smile when I'm down or have provided me a beautifully worded escape for a while :) 
disclaimer: I will list the specifics for those interested, but there is a mix of bl / bh so be aware of that please. these are the fics that make ME happy and I want to spread some positivity for the talented authors that have gotten me through some rough times, so please leave any negativity out of it and stick to your own preferences. 
thank you and happy reading! ♡
✰ enter the rose garden (GA, 10k, imp. b!L) by @angelichl
Soft heats make omega Louis clingy. Enter alpha Harry. 
✰ before we knew (E, 40k, b!L) by @risthebrave / falsegoodnight 
Louis has been skeptical of soulmates for years so it seems like fate when he finally bumps into the owner of the obnoxiously large signature printed into his skin since age sixteen: Harry Styles, a human rights attorney who is firmly against soulmates.
✰ baby we could be enough (I'll make this feel like home) (E, 57k, b!H) 
“Did you clean the table?” Harry asks Louis once Rose is done speaking, now occupied with trying to see if she can reach over and touch Harry’s hair from where she’s sat. At Louis’ nod, Harry frowns. “You didn’t have to do that. You’re my guests here, I could’ve dealt with it later.”
Louis just smiles easily, though, adjusting Rose on his lap so that she’s facing Harry better. She manages to tug on a loose wave of hair, and she makes a noise of triumph that both Louis and Harry smile at.
“I don’t mind,” Louis murmurs to Harry, even though he’s looking at Rose. “This one here seemed very excited to talk to you.”
And, okay. Harry can’t help but think of how domestic this feels, all of a sudden.
[harry is a photographer who's trying to find his place. louis is a single father with a smile that feels like home.]
✰ when you touch me, paint me like a van gogh (E, 4k, b!L) by TurismoEmocional 
(Harry has been away for a month. He comes home to Louis in the middle of the night - dramatics and smut ensue.) 
✰ undone, undress (E, 134k, b!H) by @angelichl
Louis' new roommate is shy, skittish, and flinches at the slightest sounds. He's an art major who gets drunk on cherry wine, wears lacy lingerie, and shows up late at night covered in bruises that blossom across his skin like flowers.
Obviously something is wrong. Louis just doesn't know what it is.
personal note: this fic is amazing and has been very validating for me, but please make sure to check the tags and author’s note for any possible triggers before reading and make the best choice for yourself! 
✰ ours are the moments I play in the dark (E, 30k, b!L) by @holdingthornsandroses / edensrose
Jane Austen's Persuasion AU. Nine years ago Louis Tomlinson was persuaded to break off his engagement to Harry Styles, a poor sailor. Since then Louis has come to regret being so easily convinced to give up his one chance of happiness. Now Louis' family is in debt and his childhood home is being sold. In a complete reversal of fortune, Harry has returned to England a wealthy bachelor looking to settle down. Events conspire to bring them together once more though Louis is- must surely be- the last man on earth that Captain Styles would think of now.
✰ hot and heavy, pumpkin pie (E, 10k, b!L) by @sunflowerstyles
Louis and Harry get separated at a Green Bay Packers game. Harry finds him and helps his baby relax by buying Louis things that get him to smile and making love to him for quite a while. 
✰ laundry room (E, 10k, not specified/no penetrative sex) by @thelovejandles / beautlouis
[Louis and Harry are both students living in the same apartment complex. They end up having the same laundry night and time. Louis can't stop staring at Harry and he can't figure out why Harry consistently points out Louis’ inside-out shirts, and his untied shoes, and messy hair. Enter slow burn-ish flirting, banter, awkwardness, and a lot of laundry.] 
✰ everywhere and nowhere (E, 16k, b!L) by @2tiedships2 
Niall took a seat and said, "Apparently Louis' downstairs neighbor is a fan of giving Louis creepy gifts. Maybe I should go introduce myself and tell him that Louis actually prefers food."
"What has he given you?" Liam asked.
Louis shrugged as it were no big deal. "There was a rabbit's foot keychain on the door a little after he left from introducing himself and there was a small teddy bear sitting by my door tonight. Obviously I can't prove it's from him, but they seem to have his scent. I could be wrong though."
"Wow," Liam said, looking deep in thought. "That's old school."
"What's old school?" Niall asked. "Giving creepy gifts?"
"I've never known an alpha to do it, to be honest, but he's courting you."
Louis couldn't contain his look of disbelief directed at Liam. "He's courting me. Like some sort of romantic shit they'd do in the 1800s or something?"
✰ thinking about the t-shirt you sleep in (E, 52k, b!L) by @absoloutenonsense / nonsensedarling
Harry's alpha fraternity donates to a local thrift shop (because of Liam's latent crush on a cute beta in his lecture). Louis' financial situation (and confusing omega instincts) lead him to make some interesting fashion purchases. Lots of pizza, feelings, and not-really-lying.
✰ the case of the (definitely not haunted) styles mansion (E, 40k, b!H) by @briannamarguerite / briamaria
The Nancy Drew AU where Marcel is a man of logic, Louis is a private detective who believes in ghosts, and the Styles Mansion is definitely, absolutely, positively *not* haunted.
✰ building castles in the sky (GA, 22k, no smut) by @whileatwiltshire
"D-dad? You think I c-can do it? Y-you think i c-can..." Evan trailed off looking down at his chest. And Louis' heart melted.
"I think you can do everything, love. Everything." Louis said while pulling his boy closer. "Because you, my little dandelion, are very brave! And so strong and wonderful and so very bright! You will go up on that stage, and you will blow everyone away. I just know it."
They laid there on their porch while they hugged each other tightly. His little boy was so brave. Louis didn't need to see him on a stage to be proud. He was proud of him already.
"You know,” Evan mumbled aloud again. “Mr. S-Styles says the same t-thing. He s-says I c-can do e-everything too.”
And Louis couldn't help but smile.
or,
Where, Louis had a four year old with a stuttering problem. Harry was always there to help.
✰ a trail of honey through it all (E, 27k, b!L) by faeriestyles 
the TPH* fic we’ve all been waiting for. 
* (trailer park harry)
✰ we should open up (before it’s all too much) (E, 43k, b!H) by @disgruntledkittenface
Struggling with grieving and depression since his dad died, Harry has never felt so alone. It’s too much to cope with on his own, but he feels like a burden when he tries to open up with people.
Then he meets Louis.
personal note: I cannot stress enough how much this fic means to me and it is very close to my heart, but I strongly suggest checking the tags for any possible triggers before reading!! 
✰ my love’s not simple (it’s fragile) (E, 27k, b!L) by @risthebrave / falsegoodnight 
Harry's new job is threatened by his impending rut. Desperate for a solution, he allows Niall to introduce him to Louis, an omega whose heat begins the same day. They click.
✰ swept me off my feet (took my heart and took me down) (E, 25k, b!L) by jennifer_kaid
When Louis had decided to reopen his mother's bakery, he never thought a charming alpha would walk in through the door, let alone fall in love with him over tea, dessert and music.
✰ knock knock, I love you (E, 86k, b!H) by @thelovejandles / beautlouis
[Harry and Louis get kicked out of a statistics exam for passing a knock knock joke note, and subsequently fall in love. Harry's a virgin, there's a cat, a hot cocoa date, a lot of sex, even more knock knock jokes, and everything is lovely and happy.] 
✰ enjoy the ride (E, 11k, imp. b!L) by @2tiedships2
the one where Louis, an omega more than tired of being treated as lesser than alphas, is forced on a road trip by his beta besties only to meet Harry who might just be the alpha he never knew he wanted.
✰ fading (E, 202k, b!L) by tothemoonmydear
Louis knows about beauty; the combination of qualities that pleases the aesthetic senses. He creates that combination every day in the garments he designs while studying fashion at uni. The cut of the design, the color of the fabric, the intricacy of the stitching; it all comes together to create something beautiful. When the science student with the long legs and dimpled smile agrees to model for him, Louis decides he’s found beauty personified. Harry just thinks Louis needs someone to show him how beautiful he is.
personal note: another wonderful and realistic story but please check the tags for triggers before reading! 
all of these fics and authors mean a lot to me and have unknowingly made me incredibly happy during some dark times. if you visit these fics, please make sure to leave a kudos or a comment to spread some positivity, or feel free to let the authors that have made your life better know! :)

Hello! Sorry for the bother but I’m suck a HUGE fan of your smau! And I’m talking about “Call You Mine” it’s so good and depressing...but that isn’t the point! I know you are busy with something else but I would like to ask if it’s be alright if I made a small fic about that story? If not, that is completely fine and understandable!
Thank you for your time and cya next time!!
yup yup that series comes with an angst tag for a reason! you’re not being a bother don’t worry! i would prefer for no fics to be made based off of the story, i’m sorry :( but thank you for asking!

Sorry to bother, but I literally went through every part of Call you Mine just now AND I LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT. Oh my goodness it hurts how much I love it. The friendship and the unspoken love for each other that leads to a long yearning for each other is literally my fanfic bread and butter. ITS SO DARN GOOD and I felt like I needed to tell you that. Anyways, I hope you are having an amazing week, you’re taking care of yourself, you’re safe and healthy! Thank you for what you do! 🤗
IM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU LOVE IT. GENUINELY. KNOWING THAT PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING MY WORK MAKES ME SMILE SO BIG. THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME YOUR THOUGHTS. please take care yourself as well, and thank you for your ask!
Hi! I recently saw your atsumu x reader fic on ao3 (Call you mine) and I haven't read it yet but I've seen others talk about it on tumblr so I was wondering if I could be added to a tag list for that fic (if you have one ofc). Feel free to ignore this ask if you don't have one or it's full!
yes i can add you the taglist! i hope you’ll enjoy the fic whenever you decide to read it! <3

f2l with Song Mingi♡
Pairing: Mingi X Reader
RoommateAU, (and like High SchoolAU in the beginning and kinda CollegeAU?)
Tags: cursing, shitty attempts at comedy, fluff, kinda sorta suggestive?, ig drug use and drinking?(booze and weed)
Words: 2.5k
A/N: Okay so, this is my first bullet scenario thing? and its weird...like this is so weird but I tried XD it ended up this weird mix between bullet scenario and oneshot fic and i-
...............all I can do is practice and try to get better but yeah. SO HERES THIS :D (im srry don hate me T-T)
-Finding Your Best Friend-
this bb would be the best-est friend you would have in this world
probably why you fell for him in the first place, but let's not get to ahead of ourselves
you guys met freshman year of high school
your guys' mutual friend Yunho is really the reason why
you just moved to town, and since said town was small, it was clear to you that everybody knew everybody else
you felt pretty lonely on the first day because of that
second day of freshman year is where is all started to come together
you were looking for a nice spot to sit and have your lunch outside because you didn't want to look like the weird loner person eating by themselves in silence
you found a pretty spot under a big tree near the track field, you put a random cool cake making tutorial on your phone and ate your lunch
the video was at a part where they were placing intricate designs in frosting all over the cake when you hear "Whoa, that is so cool!"
you jump about 3 feet in the air and immediately gather up your phone and get up to spin around to see who interrupted your quiet time
a young man, not sure his grade, with peach colored hair and a worried expression on his face, raises his hands in a surrender pose
'okay but what the hell was he doing, watching my phone behind the tree?'
well reader, we'll never know
"I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to scare you that bad! Really, I am so so so sorry!"
you, still in shock, just nod at him
now you're both just standing in front of each other
not saying anything
....well
this is awkward
"I-I'm Yunho...by the way."
you clear your throat, not sure why, nervous habit
"[Y/N].."
"So, uh... Haven't seen you around here before.."
once you explained you were new, and new to the town in general. There was no escape.
you were now best friends with the giant teddy bear and there was nothing you could do about it
yunho immediately took you under his wing and showed you around the campus. Then the town itself after school was out.
but Ro this seems to be turning into a yunho x reader fic/ bullet scenario
stfu I'm getting there
what did this turn into even
so now you and Yunho are bffs
enter giant teddy bear 2.0
you and yunho are hanging out at lunch, it's become a usual for the past two weeks
and Yunhos other bff is becoming sus about why Yunho hasn't been eating with him at lunch or doesn't seem to have as much time after school for him
that's when giant teddy bear 2.0 (if you don't know that its Mingi then idek-) finds his bestie with some random chick
a really adorable random chick
"So this is where you have been?"
you and Yunho start, not expecting someone to find your guys' spot
Also, deja vu, amiright?
"Oh, hey Mingi!" Yunho greets the tall dirty blonde haired teddy bear
And you're totally not sitting there thinking, 'holy shit, he is...wow.'
and that's how it all started
he stayed and introduced himself and you hit it off just as well as you and yunho did
maybe even better..
he started showing up everyday, at the what was dubbed 'The Cool Kids Spot™️' by you all, with yunho
even tho we all know you guys were NOT the cool kids
then it went to him being at the spot before everyone showed up
so he could see you first
then it turned into him meeting you up after class so you both could grab your food together and meet up Yunho at The Spot™️
before you could even realize it, he became your person
you were the first person he ran up to and hugged after him and Yunhos dance group took home 1st place at a competition
he was the first person you called when you were told that your poem won an award
you were the person he'd come to if he needed any kind of advice
and he was the first person you went to if you needed to get out of your head or your anxiety was getting to you
the high school years went by so fast
a lot changed
but what never changed was Mingi, he may have grown
and damn he grew
but he was your constant (and yes, yunho too, we can't forget yunho bro)
-Knowing They're The One-
high school came and went
Mingi and Yunho were accepted by a prestigious performing arts school
you, however, were going to just a regular college
luckily, both schools weren't terribly far from each other
which is why, instead of suffering in dorms, you and Mingi decided to get a apartment together, not far from both schools
yunhos ass stayed with his parents because they live like right next to the school, lucky hoe
you all still make time for each other
but you and Mingi prefer to stay in, order takeout and watch random stuff on YouTube
whenever you or Mingi went out it was always together (unless it was classes)
Grocery shopping? Together. Doctors appointment? Together. Girls night? Together. Guys night? Together.
"So, you must be suffering right now" his friend Yeosang said to him on a rare guys night that didn't involve you.
Mingi looked at Yeosang perplexed, ignoring whatever Wooyoung was talking to him about
"What are you talking about?"
"You and [Y/N] are literally always together, the fact she isn't here surprises me."
Mingi laughed. "We're not always together."
A cacophony of "LIES" and "BULLSHIT" filled the air as all of Mingi friends called him out on his bullshit
Mingi could feel his face heating up
"W-well, so what if we are! Were best friends AND roommates."
"And lovers~" his friend San whispered in his ear from behind and laughed, dancing away before Mingi could hit him
"We're not together!" Mingi exclaimed, rolling his eyes.
"But you want to be."
Mingi turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was Yunho, leaning against the entrance of the kitchen everyone was gathered in
He was looking at Mingi with a smirk
Mingi knew Yunho knew how he felt about you
and not because he told him
well...he kinda did
FLASHBACK TIME
it was your guys' high school graduation
more specifically, the night of, and you were all partying and yunhos house
celebrating the fact that you all were officially adults now
lol you thought
and what better way to celebrate that than with underage drinking
be safe kids, don't drink irresponsibly
and Mingi. Got. Wasted.
by the end of the night, he was crying (and maybe puked once or twice...) in Yunhos arms about how beautiful you were, and how amazing and talented you were
wouldn't shut up about how soft and perfect you feel in his arms when he hugs you or vice versa
"She is my soulmate." After every other sentence mentioning how perfect you are
but wait, where were you while Mingi was crying and puking you ask?
That night you met Yeonjun, who is now one of your closest friends
  at first, a friend of Wooyoungs, who you all became friends with junior year, along with his best friend San
Yeonjun, who went to a different school across town, was invited along by Woo and San
you and Yeonjun hit it off so well, drinking and laughing, and talking about how much he loves his boyfriend Soobin, and maybe you drunkingly going on about how amazing Mingi is
however, Mingi didn't know Yeonjun
and what he saw that night was you, enjoying your time with someone who wasn’t him, laughing at jokes that weren't his, hanging all over someone who could never know you as well as he did (and that totally wasn't the reason that Mingi drank like 2 bottles of straight vodka, not at all)
and at that moment
he knew
he fucked up
he was in love with you
OKAY END OF FLASHBACK
Mingi wasn't sure what to say
he could deny it sure, but he knew it was useless
not after every person in the room gave him a knowing smirk after Yunhos comment
“She doesn't-”
“Oh, whatever. you guys are literally already a couple. And dont even try to deny that. If she was here right now, she’d probably be on your lap and you two would be sitting in some corner of the house whispering some weird drunk lovey shit to each other.”
well...
Mingi really didn't have a argument for that
that night he came home sober
but you didn't know that until months later when he told you he wasn't actually drunk
anyways when he got home you were sitting in the living room
music playing away on YouTube while you type away on your laptop
you didn't hear him come in, softly singing along to the song under your breath
he stood there for a moment and just..looked at you
your hair was a mess
you had on the same clothes as yesterday
probably haven't done a skincare routine in months
you were the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life
he felt so much love swell in his chest
hes known it for a while now but at that moment all that was going on in his head was
“That’s my soulmate. I love her. I love her so much.”
“Hey.”
he wasn't sure if he had said it loud enough but apparently he had because you flinched and turned to see who the ‘intruder’ was
“Oh, Mingi! Shit, you scared me...” you laughed. “How was guys night?”
He made his was over to sit on the couch as you told him how your paper was coming along and then waited for him to answer your question
he sat for a good minute not saying anything
“Mingi?”
he looked at you
“you okay hun?” you asked, placing your hand on his cheek
and then he kissed you
it was so quick, you had no time to register that it was happening at all
and he left just as quickly
slamming the door to his bedroom and leaving you flustered and panicked
-So....Lovers?-
the morning after the kiss was the most awkward moment that you and Mingi had ever had
luckily it didn't last long at all
you two were silent, awkwardly making breakfast
then Mingi busted out with “Man, I’m so hungover! I barely remember anything from last night!”
“Do...do you remember anything from when you came home?”
“No, to be honest, I don't even remember coming home...”
-cue forced laughter-
-cue Mingi not trying to be disappointed when you looked relieved-
 he asked you if anything happened and tried not to feel sad about the fact you were going on about how nothing happened and he just came home and went to bed
why wouldn't you mention the kiss? maybe everyone had it wrong, you didn't feel the same. why else would you avoid it?
but everything went back to...normal
you two would cuddle every night on the couch
you showed up to every guys night like usual
(there may or may not have been more knowing smirks thrown Mingis way)
he showed up to the rare girls nights you'd have with your (like 2) girlfriends
(they literally just consisted of everyone chilling in some secluded spot and sparking up a blunt or two and bull-shittng)
but everything wasn't normal
because even though it lasted 0.0002 seconds long
Mingi cannot stop thinking about that kiss
neither can you for that matter
that's when you confided in your bestie Yeonjun
who knew all about your love for your other bestie
you went to Yeonjuns one Saturday afternoon without mingi
its been a month since the kiss and Yeonjun is only disappointed in the fact that you didn't tell him sooner
his solution was simple, just tell him how you feel
its so god damn obvious he feels the same
but who are you to do the simple thing right?
so what do you do?
you go with Soobins idea
and :) you:) go:) on:) a:) blind:) date:) with one of soobin and yeonjuns friends:)))))))
well
at least you were supposed to..
the night comes when you were supposed to meet at a nice cafe with their friend Beomgyu
you. were. lookin. FIRE BABY
slaayyyyy
you were in the kitchen grabbing your keys
and maybe prolonging the fact that your going out with someone who isn't MIngi
when Mingi walked out to heat himself up a noodle cup
and maybe one for you too because he didn't think you were going anywhere and was going to ask if you wanted to chill in his room and play mario kart
his jaw DROPPED when he saw you
he felt like he was just kicked in the gut, all breath left his lungs
and he may or may not have gotten an instant boner but-
he cleared his throat to get your attention
“You look...nice.” wow, Mingi, smooth
“O-oh, thanks, um... ill be back later okay?”
when Mingi asked where you'll be going and you said you had a blind date, he swears to this day he blacked out for a moment
next thing he knew he had you pushed against the counter
“Mingi-”
“No.”
“w-what..”
“You don't have a date.”
“But I do-”
then his lips were pressed against yours
and unlike the first, this one lasted a hell of a lot longer than 0.0002 seconds
it wasn't fireworks or butterflies or a sudden realization of unconditional love
it was rough and messy and filled with so many emotions including relief that your love for each other can finally blossom
you didn't say a word to each other when you parted
you stared at each other for a while, panting with big smiles on your faces
once your breathing returned to normal you gently pushed him back so you weren't pressed against the counter anymore
“I’m going to change in PJ's.”
Mingis smile lit up his whole face. “But I thought you had a date..”
“No, I don't.” you kissed his cheek and left to change.
-YES LOVERS FINALLY-
so you guys never really sat down and were like ‘hey so are we...?’
because you both knew you just....were
after that night you guys started acting like you had been dating for months
it was just like before
because of course, like always, Yunho was right
you guys already acted like you were dating
now kisses and a lot more were added to the mix
which just made everything 1000x better
everyone knew it was just a matter of time
you loved waking up to his arms wrapped around your waist and him softly snoring in your ear
he loved waking up to you peppering kisses all over his collar bones and neck
your loved bloomed♡
A/N pt2: Im sorry if the end seems so rushed as well, I started running out of steam and my mind blanked but I didn't want to prolong this and never post it...like i do with everything...
Thank you for reading!

Shower Thoughts (Nicky x Jaida) - Moonshot
A/N: Nicky and Jaida love wilding on IG live and I love them for it! So why not writing them as seniors in an high school AU setting? This is my first time writing Jaida so I hope I did her justice with this fic. I’m also working on the follow up for my other fic that will be out relatively soon as well. Enjoy the ride x - moonshot
Summary: Everyone at their school would argue that Jaida and Gigi, as the captains of the basketball and cheerleading team respectively, were destined to fall in love. However, the plump pair of lips on Jaida’s neck belonging to a particular French blonde cheerleader told a different story. Also, she was pretty sure Gigi was busy making out with the resident quirky art girl.

Everyone at their school would argue that Jaida and Gigi, as the captains of the basketball and cheerleading team respectively, were destined to fall in love.
The older girl often thought about it. While she couldn’t really disagree with that statement - she did love the bitch after all - the arm wrapped around her waist, and the plump pair of lips on her neck belonging to a particular French blonde told a different story. Also, she was pretty sure Gigi was busy making out with the resident quirky art girl.
The warm stream of water coming to the shower hugged their bodies, relaxing the tired bodies from hours of practice.
Jaida threw her head back, giving more access to the sore muscles of her neck and shoulders to Nicky’s mouth. The captain let out a groan as the lips reached a delicate spot.
“Someone is tense…” The French girl chuckled, wrapping both arms around the older girl’s waist and resting the side of her face on the smooth strong back.
“Girl, you tell me? Coach made us practice so many free shots that I feel my damn arms are gonna fall off” Jaida complained as she bathed in the relaxing spray of water.
“Aw, mon pauvre, pauvre chou,” Nicky placed a soft kiss on the nape of the dark-skinned girl.
“Why do you keep calling me cabbage? I googled that French shit up, you can’t fool me!” She replied with a fake offended tone, turning around to face the foreign girl.
“Well, if your ass kept looking at that google search, you’d seen that it also means my darling, salope! Didn’t you learn anything from our tutoring lessons, uh?” The blonde cheerleader teased, bringing her hands to rest lazily around Jaida’s neck.
“I don’t know, girl, our lessons always took an interesting turn. I might have not learned shit about French but I sure have learned how to please a French,” she talked back, not even trying to fight the smirk on her face.
“Fuck you!”
“I’m trying here, babe!”
They both laughed as they leaned in for a kiss, letting the water run in between their naked bodies. Nicky moaned as Jaida brought their bodies even closer together, their breasts rubbing against each other as the kiss got more intense. The French girl tangled her fingers in between the natural curly locks the brunette sported, arching her back as Jaida’s hands grabbed a handful of her behind. While she was trying to wrap her legs around the toned body, the basketball captain quickly spun them around, resulting in the younger girl hitting the shower wall rather gracelessly.
“Ouch, bitch!”
“Quit it, girl! I’m trying not to have your ass on the floor! You should thank me,”
“I’ll thank you when hell free-Ah!” The blonde couldn’t finish her sentence as Jaida playfully bit down right where her shoulder and neck met. The brunette felt Nicky’s fingernails dug on the skin of her back as she kept her mouth hovering over the tan skin. The cheerleader let out a sigh, tensing her muscles as Jaida’s hands started to roam over her slim physique, kneading the soft breasts. The dark-skinned beauty continued to alternate gentle bites and sucks all over Nicky’s neck.
“Don’t you dare leave a hickey on my neck,” she warned, her voice barely above a whisper over the loud sound of the shower. Jaida smirked, sucking harder as payback, Nicky gasped, “Bitch!”
“Chile, girl. You can always cover it up with some concealer later, and it’s not like you ain’t liking it when I leave marks on you, uh?” she replied in her ear.
“Touché, chéri, but you’re paying for my next bottle of concealer, and I want the Dior special edition one!” she whined, pouting.
“Who knew you’d be an expensive bitch to please?” Jaida joked but mentally reminding herself to check her usual go-to makeup store after class the next day.
“I only go for the best” Nicky replied, quirking an eyebrow to complete her smug look.
“And that’s why you went after the essence of beauty, uh, Frenchie?”
Nicky leaned in, whispering, “Precisely,” as she smiled, tasting once again the familiar grape-flavored chapstick she had grown to love.
They both got lost in the kiss, not noticing the door of the gymnasium’s shower room had been opened until a very familiar voice - especially to the blonde cheerleader - started singing.
“Tell me something girrrrrrrl~”
Both girls froze at the sound, visibly surprised to hear someone else. They were sure they were the last two students left, but the fact that Jan, the ball of sunshine of the glee club as well as the soccer team, had just proved them wrong.
Just as Nicky was about to say something, Jaida brought a finger over the blonde girl’s lips, gesturing her to stay quiet. The French girl furrowed her brows, mouthing a “What are you doing?”, to which the older girl just smiled, resuming her movements over the cheerleader’s body.
“Mérde,” Nicky breathed out, biting her lower lip to avoid being heard by the unaware blonde outside the shower cubicle.
The taller girl’s hands groped the round breasts, causing the French girl to hiss in pleasure.
“Hello? Everything alright?” Jan has interrupted her singing after hearing a weird sound coming from one of the showers.
Nicky could feel her heart race at the thought of being caught, and Jaida’s hand traveling down her toned stomach wasn’t really helping her.
“Uh, yeah, Jan, it’s just me, chéri. I just turned on the water and it was too hot!” The cheerleader spoke up, trying to distract the younger blonde enough to not have her realize what was going on.
“It ain’t the only thing that’s hot” Jaida whispered jokingly to herself as her hand reached the trimmed hair above Nicky’s core. She dipped her slender fingers down, letting the water run down over the soaked folds. Jaida couldn’t help but tease the younger girl, “keep talking to her so that she goes away and I can hear your pretty French ass scream for me, girl”.
“Oh, hi, Nicky! I just had to grab a jersey I forgot, do you want me to wait up for you? Jackie finished her Lacrosse practice so you can catch a ride with us,” the soccer player asked caringly, Nicky could make out that she was just outside the stall. She tried to focus to give an answer but Jaida’s talented digits were really distracting.
“Don’t leave her hanging, babe,” the basketball captain whispered, tasting the waters as she slipped a finger inside the tight opening, she could feel how tense the blonde girl was, “Chile, and she won’t find out”.
A shiver ran Nicky’s back as Jaida filled her up and softly kissed the tan skin of her neck. She nodded slightly, trying to keep her composure.
“Uhm, no, love, I’m going to be fine, I have a ride home already” she managed to let out as Jaida started to move her finger inside, her thumb lazily drawing circles over the blonde girl’s bundle of nerves, “Also, d-don’t worry, Coach left me the keys to lock up after I’m done so you can leave, ah!”
She quickly quieted as she accidentally let out a moan when the brunette added a second digit, stretching her core, “Putain”. How she wished she could wipe that smirk off of Jaida’s face right then and there.
“Did you say something?”
“Just that my muscles are so sore from all the practice, you know, with all the competitions coming up, we can’t catch a break” Nicky would have shot a nasty side-eye to the older girl if she wasn’t so goddamn good with her fingers.
“You tell me! I’m sure my legs will fall off by the end of the month” Jan laughed, seemingly not having any suspicions about what was happening behind the shower door thanks to the sound of the water jet, much to the cheerleader’s relief, “well, in that case, I’m gonna go and find Jackie. See you tomorrow in Maths class!”
The younger blonde didn’t wait for a reply as both girls in the shower heard the fast footsteps go towards the locker room door. They held their breaths as they made sure Jan wasn’t coming back after closing the door behind her.
Nicky let out a sigh of relief, before turning her attention to the brunette, “Bitch! We almost got caught, I’m going to gag you next time we have sex!”
“Wow, now we into that BDSM shit, uh?” Jaida commented back, unable to contain a laugh, earning a slap on the shoulder as a reply.
“Now, you finish what you started before I-” Jaida shut her up with a kiss, smiling in the kiss as she fastened her movements, arching her fingers just as she knew it would drive the blonde girl crazy.
Without anyone in the room with them now, Nicky moaned loudly, gripping tighter onto, feeling her legs growing weaker by the second.
“Ah, fuck, I’m close, k-keep going”.
Jaida didn’t need to be told twice as she latched her mouth to the sensitive pulse point on the younger girl’s neck, prompting a few other curse words in French by the latter.
The cheerleader felt the familiar sensation build up in her lower belly as her legs trembled, only standing up thanks to Jaida’s strong arms around her body.
“C’mon, babe, let it out. Be as loud as you want,” the brunette whispered in Nicky’s ear before biting the tender lobe.
The French girl came with a loud high pitched moan, her release running down her legs as it mixed with the running water washing off her body. Her legs completely gave out on her as she tightened her arms firmly around Jaida’s neck, kissing her passionately.
“That was hot” Nicky managed to say after recovering from her intense orgasm, “Mérde! I think I might be into this almost get caught shit, now!” she whined.
“Of course, you would girl”.
That was a moment of pause before they both erupted in a contagious laugh. Just as they were about to continue the discussion, the water suddenly turned cold. Nicky quickly shut it off, not wanting to get sick from the sudden temperature change, “I think that’s our cue to get the fuck out of here”
“Lead the way, girl,” Jaida said before Nicky took her hand, dragging her out of the steamy cubicle and trying to get all dressed up without too many kissing breaks.
About an hour later, Jaida pulled her car up on the familiar driveway of the rather fancy suburban apartment complex Nicky lived in. Her mother really went all out to provide a place to support the studies abroad of their firstborn daughter. The brunette really wished she could meet her soon.
The younger girl unfastened the seatbelt and was starting to collect her things when the dark-skinned beauty spoke up, “You know, girl, prom is coming up next month and I was doing some thinking, you know…”
Nicky had turned her full attention to her by that point, softly smiling at how nervous the usually chill captain was, “Yes?”
“I mean, I know we ain’t really official or any of that bullshit but I thought maybe we could go together, as, like, a couple, you know?” Jaida shrugged her shoulders, trying to brush off the nerves. They had been sneaking around for months at that point, she couldn’t understand why she suddenly felt so anxious to officially ask the blonde girl out.
“Are you asking me to prom?” The French girl asked to make sure she had heard right. She had to admit that they never really discussed the official label of their relationship, but she knew they both really liked each other.
“Bitch, you really want me to spell it out?” The older girl couldn’t even be mad as the smile on Nicky’s face made it very difficult.
“Yeah, mon chou, say it again or I might think you’re fucking with me” she chuckled, leaning forward with a smirk on her face.
“Girl, I just finished fucking with you an hour ago, I ain’t got time for that shit again,” she chuckled, “so, Nicolette Doll, will you go to-”
She couldn’t finish her sentence that Nicky sealed her lips with a kiss, bringing one of her hands on the nape of Jaida’s neck for support. They stood there, neither of them deepening the kiss, but rather keeping it soft and gentle.
Nicky was the first of the two to break the kiss, straightening her back as she interlaced her fingers with Jaida’s, holding her hand.
“I’d like that very much” the brunette could get lost in her piercing blue eyes, especially with the way they sparkled when Nicky smiled, “But now, we got a lot of shit to get ready. I’ve seen so many of your American movies about prom. We need dresses, a pre-prom plan, a post-prom plan… maybe we could go on a double date with Gigi and Crystal? Oh, wait! We could also invite Jan and Jackie? I definitely have to ask Gigi what they are wearing so that we can all match and…”
Jaida tuned out from the conversation, finding it adorable how Nicky was so excited about prom. While she wasn’t really sure all those teen movies the French girl had watched were an accurate depiction of school dances, she couldn’t wait to spend a fun night out with her girlfriend.
Girlfriend… yeah, she liked how that sounded. She was definitely going to call Nicky her girlfriend more often.

The follow up to 2017’s Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, on Nov. 17, 2020 fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons upcoming Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything must indeed possess powerful magic to contain so much stuff in 192 pages — the exact page count of its predecessor according to Jeremy Crawford, principal rules designer of the game. The product of 18 months work the book includes material for Dungeons Masters and players of 5E D&D alike. I had an opportunity to join the press briefing with Crawford and Greg Tito, communications and press relations director for D&D and let me tell you, sitting on this was really exciting. Reading and hearing what players speculated on and wanting to say, “You’re all right! It’s all in the book. All the character options and new stuff you’re guessing about are inside!” So let’s get into Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.
On the cover for Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Tasha holds an ornate grimoire covered with symbols from the planes of existence in stunning art by Magali Villeneuve.
A delightful conversation about 5E D&D
No sense burying the lead — all the options and fresh new modular content you thought might be in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is there. Subclasses for all the classes are in there. Alternate class features from the most popular Unearthed Arcana in the entirety of 5E D&D are in there. The artificer class is in there — including some tweaks, new infusions and the Armorer subclass that was loved by people, according to Crawford. The Aberrant Mind sorcerer, UA’s most highly rated content ever, is in there and so are many from the past year. Spell Versatility and new Beast Master Companions are in there and I know there’s untold numbers of players stoked to hear this. There’s new artwork for the Artillerist Artificer Specialist that was shared during the briefing too.

Like XGtE the book explores the titular character’s wonderfully complex point of view in comments on the content throughout, with nods to Tasha’s history in her comments and captions. One clue about Tasha’s mysterious origin reveals itself on the cover. The tattoo on her cheek is a chicken leg, which Crawford explained is an “echo of the chicken-legged hut that Baba Yaga lives in.”
A bunch of subclasses and class features only chicken scratches the surface of the scope of material. Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is organized into four chapters. While perusing the material in the book readers learn more about Tasha and the lore surrounding her. Tasha’s life has involved the fantastic since the very beginning of her origins in the fey realms. As she became a brilliant and powerful wizard her adventures took her to other planes and dimensions so she is unfazed by beings of any sort, least of all her frenemy Mordenkainen.
Character options
Spells and magic items
Group patrons
Tools for Dungeon Masters
Customizing your origin is an important part of the development of the book and something the design team seems particularly proud of, for good reason. Players love the idea of more personalized character origin stories. I use This Is Your Life stuff from XGtE all the time and TCoE builds on that tremendously. Like, seriously a lot. The design goal was tools for players to create truly unique characters with amazingly magical origins and backstories.
This includes modifying traits during character creation to better reflect the story players want to tell and offers a lineage template with fill-in-the-blanks tools to totally personalize characters. The Lineage System introduces a new way to approach creating and playing characters and adventures in 5E D&D, a responsibility the design team takes very seriously as stewards of the game. During the press briefing Crawford and Tito explained how TCoE is one of multiple books demonstrating a shift in how D&D handles things like race.
Other changes include the removal of negative racial modifiers for certain races from Volo’s Guide to Monsters via errata. Crawford explained how their original intention for races like kobold and orc was as Monstrous Adventurers, separate from standard character options. This is why those options are included in their own section in VGtM along with options considered more powerful than standard in some cases, like yuan-ti and to a lesser extent goblins. Because this context is lost through the way so many players engage with 5E D&D through online tools and resources like D&D Beyond, it became a pain point for players and TCoE will include updated versions. Hooray for kobold and orc enthusiasts!
The Lineage System offers tools to create characters not bound by a species archetype. I love the way Crawford explained how this modular piece of content interacts with existing 5E D&D material. The core game, what is presented in the Player’s Handbook and other sources, illustrates an archetypal adventuring character like an elf. Choosing this option for your character represents playing Elfie McElferson in other words — the exact kind of elf that comes to mind when you think of D&D elves. The Lineage System gives players and DMs tools to disentangle characters’ personal traits with cultural traits. And worry not! The path to customization is very smooth according to Crawford, who emphasized it is not complicated at all.
Along with the new class options and alternate features players can customize how each class feels. This includes something that worms its way into the mind of every edition of D&D sooner or later.
Psionics! The Aberrant Mind is just one of the psionic themed subclasses from UA. Along with a few others, these psionic subclasses use a modifed version of the playtest mechanics, which Crawford described as “evolved.” I’m pretty middle of the road when it comes to psionics, neither thrilled to use them or abhorred by their inclusion in the game but I’ve got to say I really dug that Psionic Talent die so I hope that’s what he meant.
During the press briefing they did not get too deep into new spells and magic items in TCoE but there are some tidbits to share. For starters Tasha adds new spells of her own design to D&D canon. Tasha’s caustic brew and Tasha’s otherworldly guise are two mentioned and I’m excited to see more. Spells named for the wizards who created them evokes a sense of mystery and wonder in all D&D players and after all her incredible excursions and magical experimentation I’m certain Tasha’s influence on 5E D&D will be immense.
Spellcasters can boost their power with new spell focus magic items too, which sounds awesome. There’s got to be a magical cauldron, right? One of the magic items Crawford talked about sounds totally awesome — the Tarokka Deck. Not like, any old prophetic card deck though. This is THE Tarokka Deck, an artifact capable of trapping spirits. Can I tell you I lost track of what they said for a moment because I was daydreaming about a Ghostbusters inspired 5E D&D campaign.
Sidekicks (remember them?) get expanded in TCoE too. Resources to create your own customized sidekicks sounds like a lot of fun new toys to play with. When asked what the most surprising thing about the book is, Crawford revealed there’s a sidekick class. You can play as a Warrior, Expert or Spellcaster, which offers a slimmed down experience for perhaps new players or those looking for less complexity. This sounds awesome to me. I’ve used the Sidekicks content from UA several times and it is terrific, so more of that and more ways to use it can’t go wrong.
More than that though Crawford was surprised by “how much liberty players have to customize.” The Lineage System, tons of new class options and alternate features, spells, feats (wow I didn’t even mention those!) all combine to create more levers and dials players and DMs can use to tailor our game experiences and tell the kinds of stories we want with exactly the kinds of characters we imagine.
“Our work on the game is a delightful conversation with the community that never ends,” as Crawford put it. With tremendous amounts of fun, cool sounding new content like they’re brewing up in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, I don’t doubt it.

A heavy, ominous storm brews at sea as clouds gather. But these are not normal storm clouds. These have formed into a churning mass of enormous skulls in the sky. [Art by Titus Lunter]
Oh! Are you still here? One last thing I’ll mention is the section on Magical Environments includes Eldritch Storms, magical fruits and magical roads, a Mirror Realm and a Mimic Colony. Stay nerdy.
Congrats! That new #DnD stuff you thought would be in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is in there. #staynerdy The follow up to 2017's Xanathar's Guide to Everything, on Nov. 17, 2020 fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons upcoming…

cheryl, i just…i can’t…like what? you have no idea how full you’ve made my heart because of this tag. during my last session, i told my therapist about how life has really been putting me through it back-to-back recently, but that there were a couple of things that have been making me happy:
1) new bookcases that i’ve been trying to order from ikea for months, but, you know, pandemic supply chain issues; & 2) this very new, but very special, connection i’ve made with a very talented writer named cheryl, whose name in french reflects my own in latin. how coincidental is that.
Aaaahhh, friend! It’s so good to hear that you are seeing the bright spots through it all. Ooh, I’m excited for those bookcases to come in for you! And what a wonderful coincidence! We might really be peas in a pod, huh? 
“we just are. we can just be.” i just got total elizabeth gilbert vibes & was pleasantly reminded of this little new year’s eve’s eve gem - instagram.com/p/cyiqc… we just get to be here. ugh. thank you, liz & blob. & how lucky are we that we get to be here with a mini album from our beloved bangtannies titled “be”?
That truly brought a tear to my eye! “You just get to be here.” / “You are loved on this earth.” It can be so hard to feel. And, honestly, we hear these messages in so many ways? But sometimes, we aren’t open to receiving that message, or maybe the message doesn’t land. What a beautiful landing this was.
Tumblr media
hey, i’m just calling it like i’m seeing it. dictionary.com defines fan as “an enthusiastic devotee, follower, or admirer” which is accurate so…yes, a friend, but also a fan.
I don’t think I can express the feeling I have in my chest right now. Wow. Thank you, and I hope you feel the warmth and light I am sending through this screen back to you.
okay, first of all, “i go 아이고” bangs. i hadn’t heard of this trio until now, but i’m really digging their sounds! i also found this article (envimedia.co/uptown-…) on them & (being a second generation asian american myself) really appreciate their message.
YESSSS! I’m first gen/second gen (depending on the definition and because i’m technically Asian-Canadian-American) as well, and being from Toronto, IDK, it’s just super exciting. Do you feel like you’re wanting to seek out more acts representative to our experiences in this way? Like Audrey, or NIKI, or other artists? What shapes your music tastes?
second of all, aw yis we’re bringing up agust d – that’s our mansss. daechwita is so, so rich in content; it basically doesn’t let you breathe even in the moments he’s not rapping because there’s just so much to take in. with i go, i feel like i can reliably find moments to breathe & soak in the weight of the instrumentals…but i admit, watching the visualizer gave me some motion sickness haha.
Lollll our mans!! You’re so right, he doesn’t let us breathe, and then, he breathes fire into us. It’s overwhelming, but maybe related to what we were talking about as far as compartmentalizing... There’s something about Daechwita’s relentlessness that forces you to open it all up. I Go lets you breathe but funnily enough makes something so much the focal point that it makes the viewer dizzy! Ugh, amazing to dissect.
i also feel like i had a really airhead moment when i wrote my comment because i somehow forgot musicality exists in all things musical, but i was tunnel-visioned on dance. to answer your question, i totally do. if i had to choose one genre of different art forms to live with for the rest of my life, i could, but i truly appreciate & can love & find value in all genres.
like you mentioned, “little moments that we notice that are just so beautiful or poetic that we call attention to them”…in every piece of art with intention, regardless of genre, we can find these little moments everywhere. & you know as well as i do, they’re everything that makes life magical.
Absolutely LOVE your take here, of that sense of musicality being applied to all parts of life! The little flourishes are everything! They’re like little twinkles in people’s eyes!
from a previous contrabassist’s perspective, i completely understand what you mean about having a greater appreciation for musicality by being part of the foundation on which primary melodies shine! in typical orchestra pieces, yes, the violins sound exquisite, but without the violas, the cellos, the basses, the song doesn’t sound full. it doesn’t sound whole.
And YES, the sense of feeling whole and full! It isn’t just about the sheer volume, there’s so much depth to explore in the instrumentation! Such a wondrous thing, honestly. Like you said, being able to appreciate it in other forms of art... can’t imagine life without it!
is there suppose to be a formal process for how this goes? am i allowed to respond to each blog post with an essay in the comments? i am unsure – there’s just so much i want to chat with you about. sending you all the love back~
Aw, no formal process, no requirements, no pressure -- just a place for us to come together whenever either of us have thoughts to share! And I feel all the love, as well as the same excitement about getting to talk to you! Drop by, and I’ll do the same, when things strike our fancy!

So much for doing a pretty graphic. XD I’m just gonna use this. It’s my birth month come April and, because I missed this blog’s anniversary when I went on hiatus, I just want to take this chance to thank people who had / have a positive influence in my life. So here’s a humongous list. Even then, I apologise for missing anyone!
@thecurseisinourblood – Courtney, love, my best friend here. You’ll always be on top. Without you and Frollo, there won’t be me and Esme. I don’t need to say that I love your portrayal and the feels it causes, but I’m saying it anyway. Life is stressful but you’re so strong, dealing with it on your own. And you still spend so much effort bringing joy to others at the expense of yourself sometimes. I want you to know that you deserve everything good.
People whom I’ve gotten to know better over the years and gone through shenanigans with and who remain active here. Your beautiful, funny, living, portrayals in turn and your beautiful minds and hearts always leave me breathless.
@hdtvtits / @sanctamater – Claire, when I think of you, I think of one of the most fearless, humorous and empathetic people I have the good fortune of knowing. Your insights help me understand your muses and fandoms, even if they’re just posts of one-liners. XD Your passion for fashion and art also taught me a lot, so thank you!
@youthflight – Krista, icb you are finally writing Peter, and he’s great in your hands. He reaches new heights with his multi-faceted character and I look forward to reading more as you flesh him out. You’ve also been one of the closest people I got to know here, and I just want to say that you’re kind and hilarious and oh-so-no-nonsense.
@kthonia / @lebedv – Deni, you astound me with your sharp wit, kickass attitude, general bubbliness and your energy constantly create muses and graphics. You’re always supportive of your friends and that’s just awesome.
@aidoneis – Em, where you at?? Life is definitely more important, though, so please don’t think I’m complaining. I just want to say that no matter what, your writing style for your different muses and your puns make me smile, and you’re just such a wonderful person.
@edhelaran – Doe, you’re an absolutely fantastic writer and I reread your responses (no, I’m not just referring to our thread) because I love the way you just… arrange words. They sing in my head, there’s this elegance and rhythm that’s just so… nice. 8-) I laugh at these random posts you have about Thranduil or Legolas. More, you’re a fantastic human being. Keep on sparkling.
@corditeheart – I don’t think words can express how much I appreciate Xu’s and Esme’s relationship that has grown through the years. There’s never a dull moment and I’m excited to see where they go. Beyond that, you’re a cool person in my mind, and your personal blog is one of my favourites. Your skill goes beyond roleplaying too, and it’s awesome to see. :D
@xprodigium / @sseizonsha – You are so cool and beautiful and I always delight in seeing your munday posts (I hope that doesn’t sound too weird lol!). Whatever material you post is always interesting, and I enjoy reading it very much.
@ragefelt – I know you post about being busy and apologising about taking time for drafts etc. but your output is always consistent and koala-tea. Your portrayal and writing are great, and so are you!!
@killthebxy – Is this a broken record playing? Fil back on this site, writing engaging stories with other people and generally making this site a fun and safe place to be at??? Sign me up. I wish you all the best in your papers and academia in 2019 too!
@sunsreign – You fill this site with your and Rapunzel’s sunshine, and I am ever grateful for your kindness and generosity towards me. You’re one heck of a force in the Disney rp world.
@lebossu – Reid, you were one of the earliest HoND blogs I followed. Despite the fandom being so old, you still come up with metas and headcanons that are fresh. You’re lovely and sweet and I’m glad to know you.
@estoires / @iniziare – Sae, we just exchanged positivity, but it’ll never be exhausted. I mean everything I said before, and I look forward to reading your metas and ooc observations that shed light on anything and everything. Your tags are one of the best things to go through.
@thearendelleprincessanna – We don’t write often but please know I appreciate you. You’re one of the nicest people here, and I see how welcoming and respectful you treat others. You’re also one of the most talented and prettiest cosplayers I know!
@vanderdutch / @piraticalwit & @alwaysagoddamntrain / @twisted-but-pretty – I hope you don’t mind me putting the two of you together! You’re just a couple who make me smile happily at how close and sweet and supportive you are of each other, and while you have faced challenges, you come out stronger. Outside of that, you each have your own muses and styles as you interact with other muses from different fandoms and I enjoy all of them, whether it’s to lurk to read your threads and get the good chance to interact with you too!
@wineinthewidow – Hello queen! The GoT community taught me a lot before I got down to reading the books, and you’re one of the best sources to learn from. Cersei wasn’t the kind of characters whom I would usually feel sympathy for. But through you, I get to understand her better and she has become one of the most fascinating characters to me. Apart from that, you’re super to those around you, and it’s wonderful to see!
@pontificalandwarlike – Jenn, one of the earlier Les Mis blogs I followed! No regrets. The Les Mis fandom sure has its ups and downs and through it all, I like to see your responses because they are always well thought out. You’re incredible and I hope 2019 has been incredible to you too.
@elesheir / @garrotejima - Wow, I mean, where do I start? Your Aragorn first struck me with all the weight of the world on his shoulders and you start roleplaying Majima in such a different voice and writing tone with such a deft hand that I am in awe. Thanks for letting Esme interact with them both in totally different contexts, it is a lot of fun!
@myxcenterxstage – You manage to create these varied verses for Priscilla while keeping her character intact. I can see how much you love her and know her inside and out and that’s why she’s such a solid character. I would love to read all her adventures should you ever publish. :X
Dearest friends whom I have known a long time, who either have been absent / inactive or whom I haven’t interacted with as actively as before. Please know that I think about you and hope you are doing well. You have left an indelible mark on this blog and for this muse. But more importantly, you have given me the best gift of friendship that I always treasure.

Friends whom I continue to enjoy on my dash all this time and new friends whom I have just followed or interacted with. You make this place a happy one with your admirable talents and bright personalities. You are each unique and important. Thank you for your presence. Thank you too for your interest in a muse in a 23-year old animated movie, whether through your likes, comments or kind messages (please don’t think I don’t see them!!) and for allowing her to interact with yours. You help Esme and my writing to grow.
