seeing some of the tag commentary on one of my posts atm and like. .../exhale, I acknowledge I could have been clearer re: jyl's presence at the nightless city massacre. no, she doesn't just run dramatically through armed conflict like she does in cql, u got me. mea culpa. however:
1) jyl was not the focus of that post--jgy was;
2) yes, I realize it wasn't supposed to be a battlefield (like most fields where battles take place). but it becomes one because wwx shows up and turns it into one;
3) after scattering wq's ashes, jgs makes it pretty clear that the rest of the wen remnants are going to be wiped out imminently--like, tomorrow, if we take him at his word. and when wwx hears jyl calling out for him after the fighting breaks out, even he's shocked that she's at the pledge conference. from ch 78 of the EXR translation:
Suddenly, amid the battle noises, Wei WuXian heard a faint voice.
The voice was shouting, “A-Xian!”
Like a bucket of ice-cold water, the voice doused the vile flames raging within his heart.
Jiang YanLi?
When did she come to the pledge conference?!
Wei WuXian was immediately half dead with fright. He couldn’t care about the fight with Lan WangJi any longer and put down Chenqing, “Shijie?!”
anyway /waves arms, I guess this is what I get for making one (1) tongue-in-cheek comment about jyl in a post that is otherwise not at all about jyl.

stray kids x ninth member!reader
genre: fluff, angst

summary: y/n suffers from heat stroke on the day of their performance at lollapalooza
As voted by you!
It's finally here! Sorry it took me a while to post this after the poll ended, but I hope you enjoy!
As always, like, reblog if you enjoyed, and my asks are open for any requests you may have. And let me know if you'd like to be tagged when I post :)
MAIN MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
They had made it to Paris. Y/N couldn't believe how big the crowd would be for their performance at the festival 'Lollapalooza'. The sun was shining, and all she wanted to do was fully appreciate the nice weather. Although, where there was a Changbin, there was always chaos.
"Hwang Hyunjin!" Changbin called from opposite Y/N in his deck chair.
"Why do you keep calling me? Wae? Wae. Wae?" Hyunjin loomed over Changbin in a hoodie and sunglasses, wondering why the older member wanted his attention.
"Jinnie how are you wearing a hoodie right now? The sun's out, it's boiling," Y/N raised an eyebrow at him.
"It's not that hot," he shook his head at her, probably side eyeing her from behind his shades.
Each to their own, Y/N thought.
Somehow they came onto the topic of noodles but Y/N wasn't really fussed, she had ramen all the time back home.
She was more trying to relax, and she couldn't help but fall asleep from the comforting warmth of the French sunshine.
"Y/Nnie, wake up, you look like a tomato," Jeongin shook her awake, and as she became fully aware she realised her arms and neck was feeling quite hot.
Shit, she forgot her sun cream.
"You good? Your arms are so red," Chan peered at her, concerned.
"Mmm, my neck feels hot too," Y/N sits up in the deck chair, brushing her hair back so the boys could see.
"Aish that sunburn looks bad, you should have put on some suncream," Felix lightly brushes his finger over her red arm, making her wince.
"Gosh, I'm going to look like a tomato when we perform," Y/N laughs as she looks down at her arms.
"At this rate you won't just look like a tomato, you'll look like the whole garden," Lee Know smirks, proud of his joke.
"Ha, ha, very funny Lee Know," Y/N pats his cheek in a jokingly patronising way, smiling back at him.
"You need to take better care of yourself, Y/N," Chan looked over her, shaking his head.
"I'm sorry Channie, I just wanted to enjoy the nice weather," Y/N pouted.
"You do realise you can get skin cancer if you burn too much?" Seungmin pointed out, taking a sip of water from his bottle.
"Yah, Seungmin don't say things like that I'll get paranoid," Y/N whacks his arm lightly.
"Hey I'm just saying, your skin will age faster too," Seungmin shrugged.
"I'll look like an old woman next to you guys and I'm the youngest!" Y/N laughed, Han appearing with aloe vera out of nowhere and gently rubbing it into her skin, letting out quiet apologies when she winced.
"That's why I'm helping you, don't want you to look like a 60 year old next to us whilst we still look the same," Han laughed loudly.
"Haha, that would look kinda funny though," Y/N laughed at the thought. Perhaps she'd look like grandma I.N with the rest of the group alongside her.
"You know what else would be funny?" Changbin wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"What?" Y/N asked curiously, shifting her body to stand and face him.
"To see you dancing on stage like a tomato, everyone going crazy because of how big and red you are," Changbin maniacally giggled.
The boys burst out laughing at the statement and Y/N's face.
"Huh? Big?!" Y/N gasped laughing.
"I was talking about your cheeks, they're really big and red right now," Changbin laughed, waving his hands in defense of how what he said had sounded.
"Haha, I'll introduce myself like, hi! This isn't Y/Nnie, I'm tomato today!" Y/N put on her stage voice, pretending to introduce herself to her fans.
The members all laugh at her, Jeongin walking up to her and tickling her sides.
"Hey! Are you the new mascot for ketchup?" he cheekily grinned, eyes disappearing through his smile.
"Yah! Jeongin!" Y/N guffawed from his remark.
"Ah, our tomato is blushing so much," Lee Know pats her head smirking.
"Stop, stop," Y/N waves them away.
"Haha, seriously though, come inside the tent for a bit, you should stay out of the sun," Chan guided her into their tent where they were setup before their performance.
"Yeah it's not like we're performing until a few hours anyways," Lee Know nodded, as they all sat around inside.
"Aish, I'm tired," Y/N laid her head down in Han's lap, his hand brushing through her hair out of habit.
"You were literally just napping," Hyunjin raised a brow at her.
"Yeah but..." Y/N closed her eyes feeling relaxed at the familiar feeling.
"Drink some water first," Hyunjin put a bottle of water with a straw in it to her face.
Still with her eyes shut she took a sip and then relaxed. It wasn't until a couple of hours later that she was woken up and ushered to the stylists and makeup artists to get ready.
The crowd was insane. And really, they were the only thing keeping her going as she could feel her energy depleting. She didn't notice the glances from the boys throughout the performance, occasionally spotting her swaying yet she still managed to keep her vocals stable as they performed Superbowl for the first time ever, and Item for the second time ever.
The euphoria running through her veins began to leave her once they reached backstage. With a smile she listened to Felix end their set to hype the crowd with Seven Nation Army. But she couldn't help her slumped figure as she sat down after her desperate search for a chair.
"You good, Y/Nnie?" Chan patted her shoulder, trying to get her attention.
"Hot," Y/N panted, tugging at the collar of her leather jacket that she had been fitted with for the stage performance.
"Take it off then," Changbin helped her shake it off, now feeling concerned at her heavily sweating state.
"What's going on with Y/N?" some of the other members asked as they walked over.
"Ugh, my head," she groaned, now leant forward as she gripped onto her knees for some stability.
"Have some water, silly," Seungmin encouraged her to take his own, yet her shaky hand wasn't very reassuring to the others.
"Y/Nnie, you can't even hold onto it, are you dizzy? What's the matter?" Felix poured out questions, worried about the state she was in.
"Mmm," Y/N nods, as Jeongin helps her sip from the water bottle.
"Ah that's not good," Hyunjin shakes his head, frowning.
"Here, come on, let's get you relaxed somewhere else," Changbin helps her stand, yet as her body becomes upright she stumbles, Lee Know helping to support her balance.
Y/N suddenly tears up, feeling scared about how she was feeling. It was all too overwhelming, and everything felt too hot.
"C-can't feel my arms," Y/N whimpered as tears fell down her cheeks, the boys murmuring amongst themselves worriedly.
"You can't feel your arms?" Felix asked, a scared look on his face, and that made Y/N feel worse, she didn't want the boys to be stressed out for her sake.
"I'm sorry, I..." Y/N trailed off, still panting as she was guided back to her chair, the boys deciding it was for the better for her to rest for now where she was, instead of moving her somewhere else.
"You're okay. Everything is going to be ok, sweetheart, we've got you, yeah?" Chan hushed her soothingly, Han rubbing her back in small circles.
"Should we call a medic?" Jeongin asked, eyes wide with uneasiness.
"Yes, good idea, Innie," Lee Know nodded at him, as they both went to look for some help.
"Y/N, you're ok, you're going to be ok," Hyunjin quietly comforted her, a light grip on her hand as he knelt down beside her.
Y/N groaned again from her headache getting worse.
"Where are those medics?" Changbin asked, looking around frustratedly with his hands on his hips, wondering what was taking so long.
"Don't... worry... don't waste... on me..." Y/N could barely get her words out, especially as a wave of nausea overcome her.
"Yah, it's not a waste, you're clearly not well right now Y/N," Han looked sullen, now fanning her face with a piece of paper he had found.
"S-sorry... ugh, feel... sick," she mumbled dizzily, slumped in the chair.
"You feel sick?" Hyunjin worried.
"I'm gonna... ugh," Y/N, with all her willpower, lifted herself out of the chair, yet it wasn't enough to keep her standing as she collapsed to her knees on the ground and threw up whatever was in her system. The boys were unable to catch her and yelled out as she fell.
"Y/N! Shit!" Changbin held her against him.
"Where are the medics?!" Chan yelled angrily, stress consuming him as their maknae was on the ground.
"Ah, ugh, I'm, ah I'm sorry," Y/N whimpered, tears running down her face from her own panic and the feeling of throwing up.
"You don't have to be sorry, it's ok, just take a deep breath," Han held her hair back, looking around at the boys with his eyes shining with his own tears as he feared she wouldn't be ok.
Y/N threw up again, gasping for breath.
"Is that all of it?" Hyunjin whispered from beside them, Y/N tearily nodding as she slumped back in Changbin's arms, feeling dazed.
Lee Know and Jeongin suddenly rushed over with the medics, both of them seeming angry.
"Finally! Where were they?!" Chan asked them, sighing disappointedly.
"Packing up, they were ready to go even though we only just finished performing," Lee Know gritted his teeth as the medics lifted Y/N onto a stretcher and took her through to a medical room, much cooler with air conditioning blasting through the room.
They held a wet cloth against her forehead and against her burns to try and lower her body temperature. The boys couldn't do anything but wait anxiously as they saw their youngest laying down and getting treated.
"Her temperature is dropping, that's a good sign," the medic said out loud to the boys.
Half an hour had passed and Y/N was now more aware of her surroundings, the medics clearing that she could head back to the hotel with the boys, telling them that if her condition worsens again that they need to call an ambulance immediately.
"I'm sorry," Y/N sleepily muttered as they helped her into the company cars.
"Don't apologise, we were more concerned about you," Seungmin informed her, an arm wrapped around her waist as he and Hyunjin guided her into the back of the car.
"That's why I feel bad," Y/N bit her lip.
"It's ok, you can rest now, don't worry about it ok? I know it's easier said than done but we'll make sure you're ok, and we're doing that because we care about you, yeah?" Chan said from the front seat.
"Ok, ok," she yawned, head leaning against Hyunjin's shoulder.
Once they arrived back at the hotel they didn't let her stay in her own room, as she instead was looked after by Lee Know and Jeongin in another, the two of them making sure she was relaxed and not too hot as they kept the air conditioning on. It may have felt a bit cold for them at one point but they didn't mind, they'd do anything for her. All of the boys would.

needy, e.w.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
cw: fluff!!! little angst, pet names (baby, beautiful, sweetheart, princess, gorgeous) like one curse word, reader yells at ellie, reader cries a teeny tiny bit, no masc/fem roles are established
desc: gamer!ellie is glued to her game while your patience runs short. also soft!ellie🙏.
a/n: happy march 1st guys! i wanted to share something i wrote while procrastinating some work. thanks for all the support on my last two posts. also the anon that sent in the request, im working on it <3 thank you for reading and reblogs are welcomed and greatly appreciateddd !
wc: 801 (i think)
PLEASE READ HERE ON INFORMATION ABOUT AND HOW TO HELP PALESTINE!!!
Tumblr media
you try not to be so needy, you really do. however, your heart can't help but get a little heavy watching ellie completely ignore your presence on one of your days off. and she's not even ignoring you to study or work, it's to play her stupid games.
sure, you played your fair share of video games, as you had an undying love for that one genre. however, you didn't come over under the impression that you'd be getting lonely in her bed, angry, while occasionally letting out a frustrated sigh. she didn't pay attention to those, too busy yelling at her friends on whatever fps shooter she was glued to.
you got angrier and angrier thinking about it and listening to her mash the buttons on her keyboard and throw insults out into her mic. you swear you can feel the annoyance in your bloodstream. you just wanted to do skincare and facemasks, watch some movies, and maybe even bake with your girlfriend. you decide to put your anger aside and give her the benefit of the doubt. you get up from her bed to remind her of what you two had planned. maybe she forgot?
"ellie, baby?" you say as you grab her shoulder softly to get her attention. she glances up at you then moves her headset off one of her ears, "yea- jesse, what the hell! he was literally one hp!" she yells. "anyways, sorry, what's up?" ellie finally gives you two scoops of her attention. "el, i thought we were gonna spend time together..," you say, shifting your weight to one leg as you cross your arms. "yea, yea, of course. just give me five more minutes," ellie says as she turns back to her game. "you literally said that 30 minutes ago, el," you sigh. "i mean it this time," ellie turns to you, doing a puppy face jokingly.
any other time you would burst into a fit of laughter, however right now, you were genuinely pissed off. you stare at her for a few seconds in silence, she stares back. her face slowly drops as she realizes you're pretty upset. next thing you know, you've reached over and put her pc into sleep mode. "y/n! why!??" she whines like a teenage boy going through puberty. "because, i came over on my day off to spend time with you, i could be getting a manicure or something.. but i've spent nearly an hour and a half watching you play this shitty game!" you yell then you walk out of her room, fed up. you grab your bag next to the couch and start to put your belongings away.
"sweetheart! i'm sorry, i really am!" she says as she follows you out of the room. you ignore her, now putting your bag on your shoulder. "look," ellie comes in front of you and softly slides the bag off of your shoulder, she notices how you're still looking down. she gently grabs your shoulders while looking down at you with an apologetic look on her face, "i am so sorry, i just got caught up in the game. i enjoy you being here, and i find your presence so comforting, beautiful. i never meant to make you feel unappreciated, i'm sorry once again." she takes her hand and lifts your face up, and notices your tear stained cheeks.
ellie's heart quite honestly shattered into a million pieces, she didn't know she made you feel so bad but she understands now. "baby, we can do whatever you want," she pulls you into a meaningful embrace while rubbing your back. "els, i love you, sorry for yelling and overreacting-" she cuts you off, "no don't apologize, it was pretty justified, i was being dumb," she lets out an airy laugh, "i love you back, princess."
she could feel you smile against her chest and it felt like 10 tons were lifted off of her back. she pulls away to place a soft kiss on your forehead, then your nose, one on your cheek, and long one on your lips.
Tumblr media
you straddle her on her bed while softly chuckling at the cute fuzzy animal headband you placed on ellie's head. you roll the jade roller all over her face, working in the serum you applied before. you can't help but admire how pretty she is. her constellations of freckles, each one so unique, her breathtaking deep eyes, and her long lashes you were so jealous of. little did you know, she was doing the same. you looked like a goddess from this angle, the light cascading down on your perfect figure emphasizing it. "hey baby?" ellie grabs your wrist. "yea, gorgeous?" you slightly lean back from her face, raising a brow.
"it's really hot when you yell at me."

Random Drabble: Humans sleeping
━☆*:・゚✧✧ ♡ ❀ ♡ ✧━
Welcome! To this adventure! The characters may not be how you imagine! I apologize for any poor jokes, bad spelling, and terrible grammar. Silly little short drabble I made. Without further ado, please enjoy the content. ♡
CW: none really.
━☆*:・゚✧✧ ♡ ❀ ♡ ✧━━☆*:・゚✧✧ ♡ ❀ ♡ ✧━
I'm sure someone has talked about it before, but can you imagine if angels and demons didn't have to sleep? Like the bedrooms are just for their privacy and to them beds are just for relaxation. Obviously Belphie still sleeps, he's the Avatar of Sloth, but the rest of the characters don't, like they could sit there and force themselves to sleep but it's not actually a necessary thing for them. So imagine when Mc first meets them all, the characters probably don't even think that Mc needs proper sleep. Like yeah they know humans, Solomon himself is a human, but Solomon could use magic to avoid the problems that lack of sleep can cause, he probably forgot that regular humans need sleep. The rest of the characters are probably more focused on making sure no lower rank demons eat Mc as a snack, not thinking that the lack of sleep could be what takes Mc out.
Imagine when Mc first drops into the Devildom, they get caught up in the brothers chaos and end up not sleeping for a bit. This causes Mc to eventually pass out from exhaustion, which would cause the brothers to lose their marbles. (I might write this scenario some day) this situation would lead to the brothers having situations where they just stop everything and be like "hold on my human needs their nap." The characters treating Mc like a pet will never not be funny to me. By nap they mean however long Mc sleeps for, but to them it's sort of like a nap because they never sleep. Unless it's Belphie. Obviously the character will go off and do their own thing while Mc sleeps, unless Mc wants the character standing on their headboard staring over them while they sleep.
Since lack of sleep doesn't really affect the characters in this headcanon, anyone besides Belphie and I guess Solomon getting grumpy from tiredness doesn't make sense. So I imagine the characters find Mc getting grumpy due to tiredness, confusing. I like to think that if this headcanon was true that the characters would hit Mc with the "have you slept yet?" Or "I think it's time you get some sleep Mc" anytime Mc gets grumpy or sassy. The character could have just done something to make Mc grumpy, and I'm fully convinced that the character would truly believe Mc is grumpy because they need sleep. Some characters would be bad about it, like the slightest change in Mc's attitude and they're trying to push Mc off to bed.
━☆*:・゚✧✧ ♡ ❀ ♡ ✧━━☆*:・゚✧✧ ♡ ❀ ♡ ✧━
Thats all for now babes! Hope you enjoyed!! ♡ This is not proofread. Feel free to comment or reblog any thoughts or any add ons you have! Short silly little post because I've been busy, sorry, hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. More content is coming soon, so Stay Tuned. Stay Safe. & Stay Spooky. ♡

All is fair in love and Mario Kart.
Tumblr media
Wanda Maximoff x Avenger fem!reader.
A/N: I hope you enjoy and I apologize for any mistakes! Also comments, reblogs, shares and likes are super appreciated, thank you! :)
Translation: “Sestra.” Sister.
“Detka.” Baby.
“Amor.” Love.
Word count: 1,446.
Masterlist.
You should have known.
You should have known agreeing to a Mario Kart tournament with the Avengers was a bad idea.
But you were excited to try out one of the many new versions of the game.
Excited at the prospect of the nostalgia it would bring as it reminded you of simpler times.
Times where you weren't too worried about the next big bad. Times where aliens weren't invading and wreaking havoc on earth.
Honestly, this was all just supposed to be innocent fun. You relaxing while you played your favorite childhood game.
But when Tony caught you playing in the TV room of the compound and he made a bet that you just couldn't refuse, you found it hard to back down, and as many of your other teammates joined, your girlfriend included, it all got too out of hand.
On one team it was Pietro, Natasha, Steve, Bucky, Peter and you.
On the other team it was Vision, Thor, Bruce, Clint, Wanda and Tony.
Once the tournament began, you all played like your lives depended on it, pouring out all of your skills into each round. The competitiveness arising in all of you a tenfold at the stakes that were given.
There was coercion, and threats being thrown around, anything to ensure a win that didn’t include using your powers, it was there and having both teams at a tie as the final round was about to commence, you can feel the tension in the air as the last two players are randomly chosen and you gulp when you realize it’s you versus Wanda.
“Alright lovebirds, it all comes down to you two,” Tony begins as you shake your arms up and down, bouncing on your toes as if you're about to enter the boxing match of your life. “Whoever wins this round ensures the win of their team. Remember the winning team has no chores for 3 months, losers must take on those chores, got it?” He says, and both you and Wanda nod, “okay, go!”
Beginning the round against your girlfriend had you nervous to say the least, Wanda showing promising skills from her previous rounds as she quickly picked up ways to ensure her success. But as you finish the first lap of the race you quickly realize you're definitely going to beat your girlfriend, your skills slightly better than hers as you’ve played many times before and your loud thoughts cause Wanda to throw you a quick side glare.
“So smug detka, already thinking you’ve won when there's still 2 more laps to go,” she says, accent prominent in her competitiveness.
“Sorry amor, but what can I say? I'm just that good,” you say, shrugging with a smirk as Wanda gapes when you hit her with a series of objects, making her character move onto last place.
“Oh, you are so going down sestra,” Pietro exclaims happily, bouncing in his spot.
“Shut it Piet,” Wanda grumbles angrily. “Baby,” the witch begins with a sweet voice, causing you to tense, “if I lose, just know that no kisses will be given to you for the 3 months that it takes for me to complete my punishment,” your girlfriend says in a singsong tone and her threat makes you falter, making you immediately go from 1st to 5th place.
“Whoa, no, no wait. You can't do that! You can’t take kissing away from me,” you pout, “that's not fair!”
Wanda merely shrugs, a smug smirk on her face, knowing that you can't live without her kisses.
“Okay, hey! No!” Natasha exclaims suddenly, snapping her fingers beside you, “focus up Y/L/N, because if we lose this tournament, I will make sure you don't get to kiss Wanda for 3 months, you got that?” The redhead threatens back and you gulp using your objects to make it back to first place.
It's the final lap and Wanda's character is in 2nd place trailing right behind you, you could feel the tension in the air at this moment, everyone holding their breaths as they await a winner.
Quickly you cast your eyes to the bottom corner of the screen and see that Wanda has one final shell in her arsenal as you have a banana peel and by the looks of the approaching finish line, you know for certain your girlfriend is going to use it on you to help ensure her win.
So what you do before she has a chance to hit you is, you place yourself right in front of her character and deploy the banana peel causing Wanda's character to spin out of control just before she has a chance to hit you with her shell, making you win first place.
“Fuck yeah! Way to go Y/N,” someone from your team exclaims, as the rest of the group have their hands thrown in the air in celebration, rounding you immediately to hug you for ensuring their victory.
As you and your team celebrate your win Pietro suddenly jumps up onto the coffee table.
“Do you know how many basic bitches would kill to be like me,” he says as he fake sweeps his shoulders, “so many! I am a king, I am unstoppable, I rule the world!” He exclaims and the opposing team roll their eyes at the speedster’s antics.
“Oh please Piet, you didn't even win one of your Mario Kart rounds, get down,” Wanda says, pulling her brother off the table.
Smiling widely due to your victory and your girlfriend's actions you approach Wanda and pucker up your lips jokingly, “celebratory kiss?” You ask, as you get close to her face.
But before you can reach her lips, Wanda's hand comes in between your faces, “no, shut up, I'm mad at you for winning, so get away from me,” the redhead says, shoving your face softly causing you to let out a laugh.
“I'm sorry amor,” you begin, approaching your girlfriend slowly, “but I had to win, Nat is scary!" You say as you reach her, your arms go around Wanda's waist, “I definitely did not want to know what she was going to do to prevent me from kissing you for three months if I lost us the tournament,” you whisper, eyes quickly glancing towards the redhead assassin that's standing across the room and Wanda chuckles softly, arms going around your neck to play with the baby hairs at your nape.
“Oh, my poor big baby,” your girlfriend teases with a smirk and you roll your eyes.
“Yeah, that’s easy for you to say, she didn't threaten you! She may be small, but she's mighty,” you say, whispering softly in order to prevent your words from reaching the assassin's ears.
“Oh really, so I’m small? You want to start shit Y/L/N, is that it?” Natasha asks, as she suddenly stands behind you.
You turn around quickly, “no. No! I'm not starting anything! Also how the fuck are you already behind me?” You exclaim, eyes wide in shock and fear, “and hey, I said small, but mighty! So please don't hurt me,” you say, going behind Wanda for protection and the team laughs at your antics due to your fear of Natasha and the height difference between you and your girlfriend, your frame still in clear view behind Wanda.
“You won us the tournament, which means no chores for three months, so you're safe for now, but next time I won't be so kind,” Natasha says, a teasing glare on her face.
“Okay, okay. I'm sorry,” you say hands up in surrender, then you grab Wanda's hand and softly pull her towards you, “also, you know what? I'm just going to go to bed before I put my foot in my mouth again, so bye. Goodnight losers, enjoy your chores,” you say grinning smugly as you walk away from the group. Suddenly stopping when you feel Wanda stop from beside you, her hand being pulled out of your grasp and you turn to see a frown on your girlfriend’s face as a slight glare is directed at you, “oh shit, wait, no, not you baby, not you. They’re the losers,” you say, smiling sheepishly.
“Hey, so uh, where's that foot at Y/L/N?” Clint teases with a laugh.
“Hey, so uh, mind your business Clint,” you retort, blushing red as you turn to look at the witch, “baby, come on. I was talking about them being losers, not you,” you say as Wanda begins storming away from you, “Max, come on amor, I swear I wasn’t talking about you,” you exclaim as you jog to catch up to your girlfriend.

actually i dont think ive posted my thoughts on ofmd s2 overall here yet have i?
ok here goes: i think it had incredibly high highs, and at some parts i genuinely enjoyed it more than i did the first season, episode 6 being peak imo. however, it had equally abysmal lows with some glaring writing-, tone- and pacing issues that all came to a head in the finale.
i once read someone say that, if you ever feel like a finale ruined the whole story, maybe you should take another look at the story. there were most likely cracks and problems all along, and the finale did nothing besides dashing the hope that these would perhaps be addressed later. very rarely do genuinely well written stories go completely off the rails in the finale and ruin the whole thing.
i think this is applicable here in some ways, SPECIFICALLY in regards to edward. good god edward was a MESS this season, and it's so sad because i loved the starting point! the kraken era was absolutely terrifying and iconic as FUCK but... they shouldn't have leaned so hard into the drama and trauma of it all. don't get me wrong, i loved that it did. it's one of my favorite parts of the season and i'm so glad we got it. but if they wanted this arc to work with the overarching plot as they wrote it, they would've had to lighten up the tone here CONSIDERABLY. had they played the kraken era for comedy then sure! edward's bad youtuber apology would've been funny. his fast redemption would've been less jarring. the lack of consequences less disturbing. but as it stands in the show, this arc is too dark to function with the later episodes.
i feel like they wanted to have their cake and eat it too here. they wanted the gritty drama of ed coming off the hinges entirely but also didn't want to deal with the aftermath of such a heavy arc in their silly pirate romcom. be that due to time constraints and budget cuts or because they were simply unwilling to, doesn't really matter in the end. the result is the same either way: a very tonally messy season with some accidentally troubling implications regarding abuse.
and mentioning troubling implications regarding abuse; izzy. my poor, poor izzy... his arc was absolutely glorious. i liked izzy the second he showed up in s1 and i was absolutely EATING this season up in that regard. and i think in this case, they genuinely did fuck it all up in the finale with that one stupid choice:
choosing to kill izzy was the DUMBEST thing they couldve done here.
ive talked about this over and over and over again. ive reblogged so many meta posts. and still i am left absolutely flabbergasted by how stupid of a decision this was. the fridging, playing at the fallen woman trope, killing the beating heart of the season and the character who delivers what is essentially a thesis statement, killing off the character whose arc is about coming to terms with his disability, having him die in edward's arms, comforting him and apologizing after an entire season of finding community and love outside of edward, the absolutely godawful pacing of it all, the extremely easy and obvious solution of just having IZZY become the new captain of the revenge to mirror s1 and hammer home how much he has developed since then in one go... i could go on. and i have. it was a stupid writing decision, completely fucked the tone and pacing of the finale and took away attention and time from things that really would've deserved a better wrap up (lucius and black pete deserved better)
now. the whole prince ricky & zheng plot line... yeah that shit sucked ass, sorry. they bit off more than they could chew here. i honestly think those are the arc words of this season:
✨️ bit off more than they could chew ✨️
right off the bat: i think he was good as a concept. bringing in a foil for stede who just doesn't Get It as stede does could've made for very good comedy and drama (and to be fair there is some of that). but that shit got away from them extremely quickly. nothing about how he's implemented past his first episode works, and i think this is very specifically because he's mostly played as the comic relief in his debut episode. making this completely bumbling fool, who gets his nose hacked off on his first job, the main villain of your entire season is... definitely a choice. idk. he didn't work for me at all.
ok wow mentioning shit getting away from the writers. this definitely got away from me. this was supposed to be a short lil post. well. i guess tl;dr i loved this season but jesus christ there was a lot wrong with it. if you want to hear more thoughts. ask box is open. be my guest. i have more to say so even if you dont ask i might add more to this at some point but im tired and have work tmrw.

ミღ practice makes perfect
Tumblr media
description. you're having a bit of a hard time fitting suguru in your mouth, but you insist that practice'll make perfect.
pairing. g suguru x reader tags. smut (18+), oral (m receiving), virgin!reader, corruption kink, gagging, dacryphillia, petname angel used a shit ton w/c. 1.3k a/n. my first time writing for jjk so >_< hope u enjoy! comments and reblogs are always appreciated
Tumblr media
"fuck," your boyfriend groans, low and rumbling from his chest as you look up at him through thick lashes. situated between his legs on the ground, your knees burn but it doesn't compare to the ache in your cunt. swiping your tongue over his pretty pink, bulbous tip, he tastes so good, you're nearly drunk on the taste alone.
a gorgeous pearl of precum dribbles off the slit and you watch with wide eyes as suguru's cock grows incredibly hard right in the palm of your hand. "sure you can take it angel?" suguru asks from his spot above on the couch. he's looking down at you with a lazy grin, drinking in the way your lips quiver at the sight.
"i-i can do it," you affirm, tearing your gaze away from his length and finally up at your boyfriend. suguru shifts a little in his seat so he can look at you better, his heart swelling in his chest at your eagerness.
"alright angel ... " he huffs, wrapping his his large hand at the base of his cock and holding it up better so it's perfectly positioned to plunge straight into your mouth. he gives you a knowing look as you lift yourself on your knees and open wide. suguru takes a moment to use his free hand to tenderly rub your bottom lip, admiring the way your lips instinctively close around his thumb.
slipping his slick finger out with a pop, he nudges the head of his cock against your cheek, some of the wetness smearing against your skin. neither of you bother to wipe it away, neither of you care. it's kinda hard to care about anything besides how fucking stuffed your mouth is and fucking amazing your tongue feels against the underside of his dick.
and fuck, he's hardly even half way in when you try to hollow out your cheeks and suguru's watching you struggle to maintain eye contact, your eyes already welling up with tears as the back of your throat burns and you pull yourself off of him, sputtering for breath. he frowns, leaning down to cup the back of your head when you look back up at him.
your bottom lip is stuck out in a cute little pout and suguru doesn't even know how he hasn't had you suck him off yet because god does he want to ruin you.
"are you okay baby?" he murmurs, running a hand over your flushed cheeks worriedly. your breaths are a little shaky and heavy, and suguru begins to grow anxious that maybe you don't want to do this. but then you're staring up at him with those glassy eyes that sparkle against the dim lamp behind him and suguru just knows that you were fucking made for him.
you nod shyly. "yeah suguru ... 'm okay," you tell him honestly, "i'm sorry. can we try again?"
fuck, he might as well bust on your face already. "'course angel, don't apologize ... 'course we can try again," he coos, aligning his dick up with your opening mouth. "doin' so good for me, my sweet girl."
it must be the words of praise or the way he's looking down at you so intensely because this time you're able to force his cock down until it's hitting the back of your throat. of course, within a second your pulling off again, eyes shut tight as you heave for more breaths and cough on whatever's still hitting you from your gag reflex. and there he is again, suguru's hand on your back, patting you gently until you've finally regained your composure, and then you're looking up at him with those eyes again.
suguru really wants to rail you into the next dimension, but you're just too determined right now. "angel, you wanna take a break?" he offers, because suguru knows that his dick is a tough fit. he knows that you're struggling. he knows that your jaw is probably aching just as bad as your poor little cunt.
"i can do it sugu," you tell him with a fierce look in your eyes and who is he to deny you. so there he is, once again, guiding his length back to your mouth and this time, you suck him in more confidently, cheeks hollowing out so you're hugging so nicely that suguru just knows he won't last longer.
how he managed to get such a goddamn angel between his legs is still a miracle to him; it's a sparing thought as you work your way down his length that suguru has successfully turned his sweet girlfriend into a girl who's on her knees, practically begging to give him a blowjob.
and he's gotta give it you because now you've pushed yourself too the limits, cock shoved down your throat with your nose almost brushing against his pelvis. your eyes are screwed shut as hot tears run down your burning cheeks, but this time, you don't pull back immediately. threading his fingers into the crown of your head, while he steadies you.
dragging your head back slowly, your tongue is pressed against his length, feeling him, tasting him, and the obscene moans that leave suguru's lips only add to your drive. "angel, angel, angel," he grunts when your lips reach half way out before pushing forward and forcing your way back down.
your throat burns and you feel your jaw growing tired but the way suguru is egging you on so well has you on a one track mind to get him to cum on your face. "angel, just like that ... perfect fucking angel ... perfect fucking mouth ... could fuck your mouth all goddamn day."
and it hurts, yeah, but it's fucking euphoric, how he's inside of you and groaning out your name under soft breaths. you feel so close, so intimate and you can't even imagine how it'll feel when he gets to fuck you because with the way things are going now, you might just cum untouched.
suguru can see it too, watching you squirm between his legs, bouncing up and down slightly in hopes that your pussy will get the friction it needs. you meekly try to press your thighs together but the thought is long forgotten when his cock is hitting impossibly deep in your throat and you need to squeeze his thighs to stop you from pulling off and gagging.
he's starting to hold the ropes now, hips lifting a bit more, a bit higher each time, his hand pushing you down more and more as you start to speed up. suguru knew he wasn't going to last now—he couldn't. at least not when his angel of a girlfriend looked fucking ethereal with a cock stuffing her mouth. and so he lets you do your thing until he feels it in his stomach, that tight knot threatening to snap when he sees the way your eyelashes clump together as they hold your tears, so he pulls your head off.
you look at him with heavy breaths escaping your lips and he's whispering, "tongue out angel," and when you comply without as much as a second of hesitation, suguru caves. thick ribbons of warm cum paint your face and mouth as he fervently jerks himself off, and suguru thinks he's never seen anything hotter.
after he's milked himself dry, the sound of soft pants bounce off the walls. suguru reaches for his phone and you look up at him confused, cum still dripping from your skin. your boyfriend only grins. he'll clean you up, kiss you, tell you he loves you just a second. right now, he's got to pull out the camera app and save this exact moment. the moment he ruined his perfect fucking angel.

Last anon here -- I'm sorry for sending that message through. I don't know what is and isn't true anymore.
I deleted what I presume was your first ask (the one accusing me of not condemning the Gaza genocide and calling me a "DNC shill and a liar") because it was rude, uncalled for, and I couldn't see any good to come of engaging with it. However, because you've returned and apologized and sent this followup, I am willing to answer it, because I am aware that we can all do stupid things (especially on the internet) that we regret. So there is that.
Once again: I have strictly limited my posts/reblogs on this topic because it is so inflammatory, there are reams of people willing to attack you on every side, and none of it is actually constructive (this is the blue hellsite where we have two whole jokes about Ea-Nasir and color theory in children's hospitals. We are not doing important social justice work here and expecting this to be the main/only forum in which we post the Correct Opinions is not going to work out for anyone). But I would like, for the record, to point out that I have condemned the situation in Gaza and explicitly called it a genocide and Netanyahu and co. war criminals. Often and repeatedly:
Ask from October 28, 2023:
What’s happening to the Gazans right now is no qualification or equivocation, a genocide. It should rightfully be opposed and called what it is. But unfortunately, I have spent too much time around Western Online Leftists to believe they actually care a whit about stopping genocide as a fundamental principle, and only want to be seen to loudly care about what their Ideology has told them to care about. [...] To put it bluntly, those genocides are being committed by nation-states that Online Leftists like for being “anti-Western,” and therefore their activities are actually fine and should even need to be defended.
Another post from December 2023 explicitly calling out Netanyahu and his cabinet, while also pointing out that Tumblr's response now mostly consisted of antisemitic dogwhistles and rampant political misinformation:
[...] the way Netanyahu is personally a genocidal maniac with a far-right cabinet of war criminals and is bent on continuing the war in order to escape his own criminal prosecutions (and yes, he is HIGHLY affiliated with Trump and Putin) but this somehow still does not remotely justify or excuse the rampant frothingly mindless and generalized anti-Semitism seen everywhere on leftist spaces these days [....]
An ask from January 10th, 2024 (worth probably reading in full) where I once more say that nobody wants this to be happening, but that once again, the criticism in Western leftist forums (particularly Tumblr/Twitter) is not made equally or in good faith :
Nobody of basic good sense and decency wants to see Gaza leveled while the Israeli state continues to apply a number of violently cruel collective punishments even outside the actual daily bombing of civilians. But for the love of god, let’s get rid of the idea that the continued mindless violence doesn’t benefit Hamas (because it does; unsurprisingly, sympathy for their cause has soared in Gaza) as much as it does Israel, or that Hamas is some kind of benevolent peacemaker that is being thwarted by the cruel imperialist US/West.
This post, also from January 2024, explains why the kind of stunt-trick "pro Palestinian" activism that just relies on publicly hassling Jews is a) antisemitic and b) actively harming the people of Gaza, while once again pointing out whose fault this whole mess actually is:
If these people actually wanted to advocate constructively for Palestine in a good-faith way and not just punish random Jews or people who might have once met a Jew (which they don’t), they would take a look at that, go “hmm, this isn’t really getting the right result” and listen to the people who are telling them that by generating this bad publicity, they are doing far more harm to the cause than good. They are going to make the cause look foolish, they will drive away anyone who isn’t already radicalized, they will shut down any possibility of discussion and dialogue, and their efforts will be picked up in the Israeli nationalist right-wing media/Netanyahu and his war criminal advisors to insist to left-wing or anti-zionist Jews that (one of the, you know, big fucking reasons Israel was founded in the first place) they aren’t safe in any other country in the world, and they need to support the Israeli government’s actions, no matter how heinous.
A follow-up from January 31, 2024, discussing (again) the problems with insisting that Biden personally/the American power apparatus is just giving Israel a blank check and therefore Biden Iz Bad And This is All His Fault:
Once again: I strongly disagree with the idea of just giving Israel/Netanyahu a blank check to keep committing atrocities, but I also need to repeatedly point out that Biden isn’t doing that. His initial unconditional support of Israel after October 7 (which at the time was the correct response) has shifted to a much more measured and conditional approach where he has muted the overtly pro-Israel statements and started talking about a two-state solution and the need to protect the lives of civilians and trying to keep a lid on what could become a REALLY bad situation with all kinds of war-hungry powers eager to jump into the Middle East and blow it completely to hell.
I am a historian. This does not mean that I always know The Greatest Things Ever, but it does mean that I default toward long, cautious, and qualified responses where I try to consider multiple perspectives and nuances, rather than just posting pithy soundbites or black-and-white statements. (Yes, I know; I am doomed on social media.) Thus when I do discuss the situation, I tend toward trying to put it in broader context, to push back sharply against the idea that being "pro Palestine" is just being wildly antisemitic on social media and nothing else, and to call out those bad actors who are using this situation to continue to imperil American democracy and deliberately try to get Trump (who openly hankers to be a genocidal fascist dictator for everyone, not just Israel/Palestine) back into office.
I know that this is a situation which provokes (to say the least) strong emotions from everyone. I know that it's infuriating to feel totally helpless and just to have to watch it from afar. I know that we all wish we could stop it and that leads us to create meaning or assign importance to our own actions where there actually is none. But that does not mean that people have total liberty to spread antisemitic conspiracy theories, wild political misinformation, narratives designed whether unwittingly or deliberately to help Trump and other far-right fascists, and otherwise anonymously dogpile on people who haven't Posted The Correct Opinion on Tumblr (once again, Tumblr, where we get our news via Destiel meme). So I hope this has helped you, if this is what you wanted to get out of contacting me today, and hope also that you'll continue to think about what to do and how to act. It's hard, I know, and you have my sympathy. But so it is for us all.

Dating Mammon HCS
───────────────────✦─────────────────────
✰- Author's Note:Hi! I'm laying in my bed and still have Mammon brainrot so here is some dating Mammon head canons. I have said this before but I love and hate Mammon. He's such a greedy bitch but also an interesting character now I have two Australian characters I love Mammon from Helluva Boss and Junkrat from Overwatch. Now this was going to be Mammon and Asmodeus dating hcs but I decided to give Mammon the spotlight but if you guys want Asmodeus to be added in the next hcs just let me know I hope that you guys enjoy these hcs! Remember to eat a meal or a snack, drink some water, get some fresh air, take your medicine, and remember that you are loved. If you loved this story remember to comment, click or tap that heart button, reblog with tags, and blaze if you can. Always remember to support your local writers. ♡♡♡
✰- Story Contains: Boyfriend Mammon, Spoiled Reader, Gn Reader, Fluff, & Overall Sweet Things.
✰- Posted: 11/2/2023
───────────────────✦─────────────────────
✧- Dating the king of greed comes with it's perks and a lot of gifts. Everyday Mammon gets you a gift, either one gift or sometimes you a ton of gifts. Mammon never gets you anything cheaped. Only the highest quality for his sweetheart for his gem. Mammon never ever wants you to feel like he doesn't pay attention so he always showers you in a ton of attention. He also doesn't shut up about you, always bragging about you while in meetings or with his personal fizz robots. " (Y/N) is so fucking cute. If I could I would make a doll of them and sell them! But I don't want people to have a doll version of my partner, I could make one and keep it to myself. " Mammon eventually does make a little doll version of you and shows it to you. He also made a doll version of him for you to sleep with if you ever get lonely. Now the cutest thing about these dolls are that the little patches on the hands stick together so you can make them hug or hold hands. " (Y/N) let's make them hold hands while we hold hands! " Mammon. Loves to hold your hand while you two are out and about. You never have to worry about him having to let go of your hand because he has to do something.
✧- Matching outfits is something that Mammon loves to do with you. The green or white outfits is something you both go with. Don't every worry about getting made fun of wearing matching outfits with Mammon because he'll crush anyone who dares mock you or him. If it's a demon lord like him. He'll tell you to ignore them that they are just jealous. " We look amazing, ignore them. " Mammon is a busy man, always making money and exploiting people. But he will always make it up with gifts, dinners, or a special night with him in bed~ You know what Mammon does and you don't get involved in his work. You also don't have to work because the king of greed is your boyfriend. But you still like going out and helping out which Mammon always wonders why do you volunteer if you aren't getting anything out of it. But he now sees that you just have a kind heart; how are you in Hell!?
✧ - Even with happy and healthy relationships sometimes you will have disagreements with your partners and get into arguments it just happens in relationships. But the arguments you and Mammon usually get in aren't that bad. Sometimes the arguments could be about Mammon always running late for dates or when you mishear him. Mammon will feel bad about arguing with you and will apologize if he's in the wrong, he'll buy you a gift and talk with you. Now if you are in the wrong and apologize; of course Mammon will forgive you. You both will hug it out and continue your relationship. " I'm sorry that I snapped at you babe, I love you, let's go out to eat and have some good old fun. " Mammon also loves playing his guitar for you, he also doesn't mind if you play his guitar. If you don't know how to play that's fine he'll teach you. He honestly just loves playing music with you.
✧ - No matter if you are skinny or plus size. Mammon loves you no matter what shape your body is. He doesn't like seeing you shame yourself or talk negative about any part of your body. " Babe, come on, you are beautiful just the way you are. " He kisses your stomach, head, nose, and shoulder. If anyone says anything negative about you then... their dead just turned into ashes. Mammon doesn't want you to change anything about yourself of course if it's for health related reasons then he understands. But he never wants you to feel like that you need to eat less or more to look perfect for him because he loves you for you. Mammon will always playful pinch at different parts of your body or tickle you. " One time (Y/N) accidentally knocked me out because I tickled them and all I remember is seeing their foot and then darkness. " Mammon said to Bee who laughed up a storm.
✧ - Despite his bad blood between Fizzarolli and Asmodeus. The lord of lust and the clown jester don't hate you. But they wonder how Mammon got someone like you. They don't know if you are insane or Mammon has you under some love spell. But Asmodeus can clearly see that you love Mammon and that Mammon loves you. Good, someone needs to keep that green motherfucker in check, which you do. You always remind Mammon not to be so harsh on his clients or calm him down before he can turn into a large spider. Speaking of his large form. Mammon has picked you up in his large form a lot, you are so tiny in his hands. You always place a kiss on his check which calms him down. " Sorry that I exploded, they made me so mad. " Mammon would either change back or carry you back him.
✧ - Mammon loves when you sleep on top of him. He thinks you look adorable, so usually in bed you sleep on top of him. His four arms wrapped around you. It's usually his bed or his web. The web is usually used for naps though so a lot of his workers or clients have walked in on you two napping or cuddling which upsets him because he was having a comfortable moment with you. " Get the fuck out! " Mammon would look down to see you still asleep after yelling at a worker or client. You are the only person to have seen Mon without his jester looking outfit. " I'm not sure why everyone always assumes or assumed I'll be in a business suit. Maybe I should put one on to surprise people, anyway (Y/N) give me back my outfit, you look adorable but I have to go soon. " Mammon did eventually get a version of his outfit for you. " You look a little like me but you aren't becoming a greed lord. "
✧ - A lot of vacations for you both. Very expensive vacations that people wish that they were Mammon's partner. He gets you guys the best hotel rooms, the spas are always amazing, and makes sure that you two have lovely dinners. " (Y/N)! Come help me build a sand castle! " Mammon would drag you to go build a sandcastle with you. Mammon has so many vacation pictures and videos with. Mammon plans these vacations by having you throw knives at a spinning wheel. It's like a fun circus game! A lot of times you do try to land on some where you think looks great.
✧ - Now as far as the human world goes. You have visited the human world with Mammon. Human disguises are something Mammon could easily do for you both. Now the two of you only visit the human world because Mammon wants to mess with the humans. You two even have a home in the human world. Mammon usually causes a lot of businesses to crash, friendships to end, or a lot of war to happen because of those falling for his greed. Whenever you visit the human world. You always bring something back. " (Y/N) what's that? Oh a switch.... I want one :( " And now Mammon has a switch, Mammon finds your human form also beautiful. " Shit babe even as a human, you look fucking delicious. " Of course you also think Mammon looks handsome in his humans form.

Tumblr media
You look in the mirror, the steam receding to the frame. You look tired. You feel it. 
You put away the bottles you used for your bath and try some of the brown sugar moisturizer, hoping it might ease the dry spots left from the friction of your pillow. You cap it and place it in the basket with the rest.
You hang your towel on the rack and flip back the silver tab of the lock. You come out into the hall and nearly trip on your own toes. Andy stands casually against the wall, a dark blue towel folded over one arm, his phone in his other hand as he looks at you over the top.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I hope… hope I didn't take too long…"
"Nah, haven't been waiting long," he smiles and scratches his beard, a few tufts out of place as you hear the coarse graze of his fingertips, "sleep okay?"
You lie, "yes…You?"
"God knows I tried," he shrugs as he stands straight, "pretty shaken by the cops swinging by, you know?"
"Uh, sure," you tuck your lip under your teeth, "sorry–"
"You're not the one who needs to apologize," he waves you off and taps his thumb on the side button of his phone, crossing his arms, a gesture that emphasizes his size. "Anyway, I wanted to ask you something before I start the day."
"Oh?" Your brows squiggle together. What have you done wrong now?
"Did you wanna come to the library? I figured if you need to put together a resume for your application I could get together a few resources. It'd be a quiet place to work." He looks almost nervous as you watch his hand squeeze his phone tighter, knuckles white, "we could get some tea down at the cafe, maybe some lunch?"
You consider him and his request. It isn't a bad idea. You don't know where to start with a resume. You only imagine a blank piece of paper, as empty as your life. You try to smile, your cheeks dimpling painfully.
"Okay," you agree. 
You don't know you have the courage to say no. It is his house and it's a thoughtful idea. Amber always said you should get out when you feel grey… Amber…
"I'll go get my tablet," you say to chase away your sadness, "thanks, Andy."
"No problem," he takes a breath, relief uncoiling the tension from him. Had he really been so anxious? "You're the one doing me a favour, so thank you."
"I am?"
"Yeah, I won't complain for the company and it'll give me something to look forward to," he moves towards the bathroom door as you sidle out of his way. His hand seems to float over your shoulder just before you elude it. Instead he presses it to the door. "I'll try to hurry."
🕊️
It feels almost surreal to be back at the library. It's a reminder of everything that's happened. All that's changed.
Andy brings you in with him as he opens. You stand at the counter and watch him. He does everything with graceful certainty. It makes you insecure, there's nothing you know how to do so effortlessly.
When the library opens, it remains quiet. Andy gathers a few books for reference and you take them to the basement, wary of getting in his way as the first patrons arrive. You're much more comfortable in the isolated underground. 
You claim your usual spot and prop your tablet up in its case sideways. You open a book and delve into the basic formatting of a resume. You type your name at the top but the next line stumps you. Address? What do you put? Andy's? You don't even know it.
You skip that and put your email. Phone number? Yeah, not that either.
You work slowly. Your frustration mounts as you distract yourself with making neat margins and inserting lines over inputting any information. You have nothing to add. No skills, no experience, no value. 
You put your head in your hands and take a deep breath. You're overwhelmed by this simple task. How can you expect to have a job? Like Andy and Amber and everyone else. Everything that is so easy for them is almost impossible for you. You are dumb and worthless.
You stay like that for a while, staring at the table, fighting back tears. What are you going to tell Andy? That you're a loser. That all those expectations he has, you can't meet. Maybe you deserve everything you get, maybe Amber didn't deserve the blight of your existence.
"You're here," her voice draws your head up, as if you summoned her with your thoughts.
You blink, not believing she's real. Amber rushes forward and you sit back, staring wide eyed, terrified at her. She winces and stays on the other side of the table.
"What… why are you looking at me like that?" She clasps her hands together, "please, just listen, please," she pulls out the chair and sits, stretching and arm across the table, "I'm not here to argue–"
"How did you find me?"
"It's not that hard, I know you. I'm your sister."
You fold your arms, shrinking down, brow furrowing, heart sinking. Why is she doing this? She's only her to make you feel worse.
"I'm not here to argue, alright? I just want you to hear me."
"You called the police," you accuse.
"You left in the middle of the night," she hisses, "what was I supposed to do? I was scared."
"And so was I," you snap back. "I'm fine…" you look down and spread your hands over the pages, pushing the book flat, "I'm going to get a job."
She pauses and looks down at the book. She leans in and nods.
"That's great," she forces out stuntedly, "I can help if–"
"No," you shake your head.
She sits back and sighs, "what did I do?" 
"I told you. I'm not a child."
"I know you aren't, bubba."
"Bubba?! You talk to me like I am."
She seals her lips and swallows your word with another nod. She puts her hands on the table, as if steadying herself.
"Right, I'm not going to talk to you like a child. I'm just going to say what I came to say and you can choose to hear me or not." She takes a breath and sets her jaw, "that man does not want to help you. You can't see it but he doesn't want what's best for you, I do.
"I know you've made your choice but it's the wrong one. I can't change your mind, police said they won't bring you back, but I can at least try to talk some sense into you. You do what you want, be the adult you claim to be, but at the end of the day, you're my sister and you always will be.
"Bubba, if this all goes wrong, when it does, I will be waiting. My door is open. Today, tomorrow, in a week, a year, whenever you need me–"
She shudders as her eyes glisten and she puts her palm to her chest, "please just think about what you're doing."
You drop your chin. Your heart clenches. Amber always sounds right. She's always been there but you just can't go back. It feels cowardly to change your mind just because you have to do things for yourself. 
And you just don't believe her. You want to so bad but you see what she's doing. Andy showed you what to look for; she's playing the victim. She hurt you, you didn't hurt her. She couldn't handle you being out of control and now she's panicking.
"Bub…" she utters. You just stare at your lap. "Let me know if you need anything. I'll bring you whatever you want–"
"Hoovering," you whisper, tilting your head up slightly at Amber's confused hum, "it's when a narcissist tries to win back someone they lost. Through spontaneous contact and making empty promises…"
"Bubba, how– I wouldn’t do that."
"I thought you wouldn't… before."
She lingers for a moment. She stands slowly and fixes her purse on her shoulder. She looms over the table and lets out a shallow breath that sounds like a sob.
"You know I'll pick up the phone. I'll be there…" she drags her fingers across the table, "whenever you need me."
She hesitates before she turns to leave. You hear her gulping as she steps between the shelves and steps shuffle out from the staircase.
"Hey, what are you–" Andy's accusation fills the silence, "dove! Are you okay?"
"Shut up," Amber growls, "and don't touch me." You look up as she shoves away his hand on her arm, "I'm leaving…" her voice is sticky with repressed grief, "she won't listen. Are you happy you fucking monster?"
He squares his shoulders and looks at her, glares down his nose, "I'm helping her. Something you never did."
"Fuck yourself. If you hurt her, I will–"
"That won't work. You're not going to stand here and scare her," he snarls, "so go."
They lock in a staredown before Amber elbows past him, marching to the stairs and stopping to look back down at the aisle. You sink down and cover your face. You feel a pit swallowing up. This shouldn't be so hard. None of it. Writing this damn resume or living your own life. It's so hard.
🕊️
You sit in the cafe, watching the street through the window from your seat in the corner. You feel as if you're outside your own body, like you're floating over the pedestrians, watching from some secret tower. You close your eyes and see the blank document etched into your retinas. 
The clink of a dish brings your head up. You sit back, limp and barely able to support your own weight. You just feel empty.
Andy sets down a sandwich before you, beside the steaming tea you hadn't touched. He gives a sheepish smile as your eyes bore past him. He sits and places a napkin beside you plate.
Neither the sight or scent of food can stir your appetite. You can't even remember the last time you ate. Last night you pushed around the casserole noodles until he stopped paying attention.
"Looks good," he says as he reaches for his foamy coffee. "I grabbed a little surprise for dessert tonight," he says as he sets his cup down and pats his jacket pocket.
You nod and clear your throat. The simple act hurts.
"Thank you," you force out.
"Well," he hovers his hand over his plate, "dig in. It looks delicious and I'm sure you're starving."
"Uh, sure," you drone and consider the thick sandwich; a croissant stacked with turkey and swiss, a leaf of lettuce and slice of tomato peeking out.
You grab your cup instead and take a swig. You hum, "I didn't even try my tea," you distract him, "how's your coffee?"
"Good, mocha usually isn't my thing but not bad. Gotta try new things, right, dove?"
"Mhmm," you peel away the edge of the lettuce and make yourself nibble it. It tastes awful. Everything is terrible.
"Been a good day, so far, not too busy," he carries on, "how's the resume coming?"
You shrug, "not done…"
He clucks and nods, letting out a long breath. He leans forward and picks up his ham and cheddar on rye. He takes a bite as you tear away some of the croissant and pretend to chew on the end.
"So… guess we should talk," he swallows, "about your sister."
"I don't want to," you whine, "please–"
"I need to know what she said, honey. To protect you. Like last night, hm? When she sent the cops after you like some criminal."
"She was only worried," you rebuff.
"About herself. About making herself feel better by standing on your back," he puts and elbow on the table, lowering his brow in a serious way, "I tell you every day you can do anything, and what did she ever do but tell you not to even try."
You frown. Your heart is in pieces. You don't want to be here. You don't want to be anywhere.
"I'll keep working on my resume," you say, "I'll be done it soon."
He huffs and sniffs at his sandwich before taking another bite. He is silent as he swallows, his gaze weighing on you.
"We can get a box if you wanna take that back with you. No eating in the stacks but just don't let anyone see."
"Thank you, Andy," you say, "I'll be hungry later for sure."
"Mhmm," he taps his foot under the table, letting the silence hang.
You cross your arms and sit back, looking past him to the street again. You wish you had somewhere to be with a briefcase, or were running to catch a bus, you wish you had any purpose but to be a burden.
🕊️
You put the casserole in as Andy mutters to himself and flips through the channels. He says there's some ball game on. You're happy he at least had something to fill the void of your conversations.
You wait in the kitchen. You watch the timer countdown and when it dings you take out the pan. You set it on the counter and scoop out a healthy helping into a plate. You take a fork and knife and rest it on the rim, going to stand in the archway that looks into the front room.
"Do you wanna eat here or at the table?"
Andy looks over, his arm stretched over the back cushion of the grey couch.
"I'll come eat with you," he volunteers as he sits forward.
"No, it's okay. I'm going to lay down… I have a headache."
"A headache? I have advil," his forehead creases with concern.
"Already took something. I think it's going to rain…"
"Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I… was looking forward to eating together."
"It's okay. Tomorrow," you promise, "please, enjoy and watch your game."
His mouth slants as you approach and put the plate on the coffee table. You feel uneven and wobbly. You just want to sleep until you can't wake up.
"I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow," you step back and hide a yawn behind your hand.
"I hope so," he says, "I'll check on you before I turn in. Just to make sure you're okay."
"You don't have to…"
"I want to," he insists, "you know where to find me if you need anything.'
You slowly back away. You turn and drag your feet to the door. You don't need anything but to be alone.

⊹˚.⋆ SHOPPING HEADCANONS - MY HERO ACADEMIA
Tumblr media
୭ flora's notes : this wasn't planned but I'm on vacation and izuku owns my heart, I couldn't stop thinking about him when I bought clothes 😔✋🏼
୭ female reader/ male reader and gn reader friendly 💓
m.list | comment and reblog if u enjoyed !
Tumblr media
⊹˚.⋆ IZUKU MIDORIYA
℘. he insists on tagging along with you on your shopping trips. he just loves to feel useful and wants to give his opinion on what you try on !
℘. and he's honest too ! if something looks bad on you he will nicely tell you : "I think this doesn't flatter your body well enough", "you should try another colour baby ! I've seen you wear this one before and you looked stunning/handsome !"
℘. and if one of your clothes fits you well expect a SHOWER of compliments "Y/N THAT'S THE ONE, this looks so good on you and the colour definitely lightens up your face. YOU LOOK SO CUTE oh my god" and he would be a blushing mess🥰
℘. learns about your colorimetria so he can pick clothes for you to try on or as gifts !
Tumblr media
⊹˚.⋆ KATSUKI BAKUGO
℘. you have to DRAG him to the shopping centre because he hates being around a lot of people. he says they are impolite, careless and disrespectful and he would throw a tantrum if one dares slightly push him to get to a display.
℘. is grumpy the whole time : "hurry up goddamn it, you take 3 hours to undress I'd better get in there and remove your clothes myself", "tf is that granny outfit, who in their right mind would sell that", "this colour makes you look like you're gonna throw up your guts dumbass, get rid of it"
℘. when something suits you, he will very discretely smile and his eyes will sparkle,
"looks good i guess, take it"
"you sure, you don't seem convinced katsu ?"
"MOTHERFUCKING TAKE IT"
Tumblr media
⊹˚.⋆ SHOTO TODOROKI
℘. "sho, you're not supposed to come in the fitting room while i change !"
"oh, I'm sorry y/n i thought it was okay since i already saw you naked"
"SHO- I mean technically you're right but you could AT LEAST close the curtain, I wouldn't want everyone to see my underwear"
℘. yeah shoto opens the curtain WIDE instead of asking if you're dressed or not. to him, the world stops when you two are together and he only sees you. so of course he wouldn't notice the 20 other people around you in the fitting area, who can now see your fully exposed body
℘. shoto apologizes and is even more of a blushing mess than izuku at this point AND he pays for your stuff (rich bf shoto💥💳💥💳💥)
℘. he is whipped and biased, he thinks everything looks good on you so he isn't of much help but he is a huge support and compliments you a lot♡
℘. ... you'd have to call Mina to actually get advice though -

How would the M6 react to MC being drunk in front of them for the first time? The kind of drunk that changes MC's demeanor, and now they're all giggly and reckless
The Arcana HCs: M6 reacting to a drunk MC
~ I love this request. Also I know some of you are going to read this and wonder what the M6 are like when they get drunk, which is why I'll be reblogging the original creator's response to that question right after I post this! Love you guys - brainrot ~
- to set the scene-
It has been a very, very long Friday and you have never been more ready for the weekend. Unfortunately, by the time you make it back to your living space, you find a little note from your beloved apologizing because they're going to be back later than expected. You sigh, drop your bag onto the table, kick off your shoes and lean back to relax. You had picked up some spiked lemonade on your way back to try with them, but you figure a glass ahead of time wouldn't be too bad. You take a sip and are immediately disappointed by how little alcohol you can taste.
Half an hour and two large glasses later you can feel your head beginning to swim. Surely you aren't drunk, that stuff has next to nothing in it - until you check the label attached to the back and your eyes grow wide at the numbers you read. Just as the humor sets in and you begin to giggle you hear the door open.
"MC? I'm sorry I'm late ..."
Julian
Did he expect to come home to a drunk and giggling MC? No. Is he mad about it? Also no
He can't help it, the first thing he's trying to do is evaluate you. How drunk are you? Will he also be having a few drinks tonight or is he going to be staying sober so you can let loose?
He watches as you follow Malak around the house, trying to mimic his hoarse cawing
Water it is
Come to think of it, this is a fantastic chance to display his theatrical talents. He's always had a knack for comedy
You make one of the best audiences he's had in years. Even the jokes he doesn't deliver as well as he wants to are met with uncontrollable laughter
Will absolutely act out a comedy sketch in one of his stolen wigs, the plot getting increasingly ridiculous as he gets swept away in the moment
Will die of shame the next morning when you start quoting his amphibian-inspired Romeo and Juliette improv around the house:
"Forgive me, father frog, I got the warts from the toad. But how was I to resist him? His croaking was so passionate -"
Asra
When they opened the door and heard your giggles they knew it was a good night
And then he rounded the corner and saw your flushed face and lidded eyes and dopey smile and knew that you were apparently having a really good night
They're just pulling out a chair to pour themselves a drink too when they feel a draft and look up in time to see you marching out the back door
Now he's giggling as he jogs to catch up with you, wondering where on earth drunk you has decided to go at this time of night
The docks, apparently. Their story about Faust in the palace garden maze has inspired you to try the same thing
In the middle of the night
While you are not as sober as you should be to practice life-preserving magic
The problem is that Asra is your best/worst enabler, so if trespassing on the ships to jump off of their masts is what you want to do, then that's what the two of you are doing
Three, if you count Faust
You are absolutely going to get nauseated from all the floating and puke all over him
They had it coming for enabling you, but what they didn't see coming was you pulling them into the ocean for an impromptu bath
Nadia
She's never seen you so drunk before, normally when you drink with her it's at big dinners so you don't even get tipsy
She's wavering on how to respond. Should she partake in whatever delightful brew you've apparently smuggled into the palace?
Or should she dedicate herself to taking care of you instead?
Oh but now you're giggling and collapsing into her lap, asking her about her day -
She's telling you about this one meeting with a certain courtier and now you're interrupting her, arms flung wide as you go on a drunken rant about them
Well. She knew you tended to filter your thoughts in the palace, but she had no idea your opinions were this colorful. Or hilariously stated
Now she's reaching for the bottle of spiked lemonade and pouring you another glass. What other amusing judgments have you been hiding?
Muriel
Will spend the evening taking the most excellent care of you while she prompts you for more rants
Here, lie down in her lap, drink some water, let her give you a massage, and tell her more about your thoughts on the chamberlain's most recent outfit decision, and how it resembled a stoned flamingo
Happy to hear that you're happy, but a little unsure of how to proceed
Were you planning on getting drunk? Did something happen to make you want to get drunk?
Oh, the lemonade was stronger than expected? Ok
Wait no stop trying to climb him. He's not a tree. You're going to bump your head
Oh, now you're wondering outside and loudly singing. And Inanna's going with you because she thinks it's hilarious
He's enjoying this uninhibited side of you but he's concerned for your safety
And for the safety of all the natural wildlife that may encounter you in this state
Wait no don't climb that tree
When did you get so good at climbing trees? He's never even seen you try by yourself before and now you're a good twenty feet up???
Does he climb up after you? How will he convince you to come back down?
"... MC? If you come down, I'll cuddle you."
A moment of silence. Did it work?
All he hears is a faint "catch meee ..." from high above his head before you come hurtling down through the branches
He doesn't know how he survived all the heart attacks you gave him that night
Portia
Immediately inspecting whatever it is that got you so happy. She wants in on your secrets
Spiked lemonade? From that market stall? Haha, no wonder you're plastered
She'll have a little bit, but what she really wants to know is if you'll hear out her crazy ideas for your magic abilities
"MC? Is it possible to do magic while you're drunk?"
She's met with a lopsided grin and an unsteady flash of the funniest looking sparkles she's ever seen
Were those supposed to be ... in the shape of Pepi? Or a sea monster?
Oh, this is going to be so much fun
Takes you out into the garden because she needs to know if Cinderella's pumpkin coach can actually happen (one of her guilty reading pleasures)
You come up with some abomination consisting of several squash, a whole mess of vines, and one terrified rat
The two of you end up going on a joyride through the fields behind the palace, lurching violently in all directions
There is now a rumor of the menacing giggling cryptid that wanders through the fields at dusk, scattering chunks of ravaged gourd
Lucio
Party time? Party time!!
Already loudly praising your drinking habits as he starts gulping straight from the bottle
Maybe he would savor it normally, but you started without him so now he needs to catch up
He makes the same mistake you did, of not reading the label and assuming it was weak, and the bottle is empty in minutes
"You know MC, I'm kinda surprised something that weak got you that smashed ohhhhh wait a minute -"
He just stood up and is now swaying in place, startled by the headrush
And then he hears you snorting with laughter at yourself as you try to tell the worst dad joke he's ever heard
Normally at this point he'd be caught up in the frenzy of an out of control party, what's he supposed to do when it's just the two of you?
Except you told the punchline first, and then the beginning, but now you're kind of backtracking through the middle, and you're breathless with giggles, and he's laughing too
That's it, that's how the rest of the night goes, ruining all of your favorite jokes and laughing until you're nauseated and his mascara is streaming down his cheeks

A Fall From Heaven...
Tumblr media
��WARNING⚠
📎Il Dottore x gn reader 📎omegaverse 📎fluff fic 📎a bad quality fic (again I apologise if it not good) 📎DO NOT REPOST, STEAL, EDIT OR TRANSLATE MY WORK 📎Out of character Dottore bc we all know this doesn't sound like him but since I'm the writer I can mess with his personalityas I wish
🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮
Who would have thought that the 2nd Fatui Harbinger would fall in love? Heck even no one ever believe that Beta would pull an Omega such as y/n  The man is only interested in kanraih's machines and his personality is… uhhh… not the best which make it odd with how you are genuinely kind and a total sweetheart  Plus ever since you arrive with Dottore things being going smoothly and he isn't killing anyone who messed up so no one bother to question it much
 In the comfort of your shared bedroom, there you were peacefully resting on top of Dottore, while he was warping his arms around your rather small form and pampering you with gentle kisses
 "Angel~ Don't you think it about time for you to get off of me?" He asked lowering his head a bit, you hummed a bit as if you were even considering his question before opening your eyes to meet those charming crimson eyes of his
 "No" with a smug look on your face, the beta sign at your answer pretending to be a disappointed "Come on now, angel. You know that I have a lot to do" In honesty he would care less plus he could have his clones doing his job because who is their right state of mind to even refuse you
 You nuzzle further into Dottore's neck kissing and nipping on it, completely ignoring his words, as if it matter to him anyway
  Dottore rested his head back before and idea strike him and a mischievous smirk play on his face "Say angel, do perhaps still remember the day you descendent from the sky and fall for me"
 You were fast to sit up still on top of him while turning an adorable red mess
 "I TOLD YA I WAS SORRY!!!" You yell completely embarrassed at that memory, but oh how it made him giggle at your cute panicking state. He run a soothing hand on your thigh while the other was on your back
 "Relax angel~ You know that I'm messing with you" he retrieve his hand from your thigh to grab your hand and bring it to his lips for a gentle kiss "Besides… if you haven't fall on me that night there wouldn't be another possibility for us to ever meet" His words calmed you a bit and you were thankful for the archons that you met him
 The Beta couldn't be more happier right now, that night in Avidya Forest where he was taking a night walk in for a change of air but before he could know it something fell on his head knocking him unconscious, you in the other hand was a bit in pain since you fall on something… or rather someone…
 He eventually woke up with a headache and a stranger peacefully sleeping beside him, perhaps rather call it an angel with how naive for you to bring a complete stranger to your house who would enjoy your cry of pain while he make your death painful and slow as possible but he couldn't bring himself to for who knows why, he was just observing you until you woke up shooting up from your place and starting to throw apology after the other
 Y/n the trainee forest ranger, and an omega… He couldn't care less to who and what are you but for some reasons his curiosity was getting the best of him and decided to pretend that he was in an "Utter terrible condition" due to what you did to him, obviously enjoy teasing you and pull such an adorable messy reactions out of you…
 …
 Dottore's grip slightly tighten on you to bring you close to him to cuddle you, "I'm glad we are here with each other". You smile warmly af him planning a kiss on his cheek before hugging him "Glad that I'm with you"

Sorry if this isn't allowed but this is less AITA, and more 'would i be the asshole' but... you can take it as a hypothetical as if I did to keep with the format..
So I'm a lurker who [re]joined tumblr not to long ago after deleting my account years ago (not a twitter migrant, i've never even used twitter. just got severe harassment for being aspec during the height of exclusionist discourse and moved to lurking on reddit).
Now I have a very bad memory so I forgot about the bot problem entirely. At first so I followed like 300+ blogs with default profile pic and everything. The whole shebang. Now I'm doing a lot better with not lurking, though I still only reblog art. None of it has been remotely controversial to my knowledge. In fact at first it was only fanart of one specific character so I don't thing this is a controversial ship thing either
During the aforementioned initial period of only reblogging art of my blorbo (am I using that correctly?) I was checking out a blog I wanted to follow and I see blorbo fanart. It was very well done and I wanted to see what other art was made by OP but when I clicked on their blog tumblr said the blog didn't exist. Some googling later and I learned that meant I had been blocked.
At the time I discovered I was blocked, it should be noted I had 0% discourse, and had never talked to anyone on this site anyways. Just pictures of a character OP of the art had drawn. So as far as I know they don't have any reason to block me other than looking like a bot initially. Which I know is on me of course, but if this can be rectified I'd like to do so... although anyone can block for any reason of course.
But let's say hypothetically I reached out in spite of the block. I think I'd have to make another account or ask someone else to message the artist for me. So let's say I do the latter, AITA for trying to clear up this misunderstanding? The artist, in spite of it likely being misunderstanding, still went through the effort to block me
Also apologies to AITA Official if this sort of thing is not allowed. I will understand if you don't post this because of that
What are these acronyms?

Stars (Platonic Yandere Ellie and Joel x reader)
Tumblr media
A/n: I'm sorry if you are tired of The Last of us content, but I'm really obsessed with this show, and because I'm behind on One Piece. So, I apologize if you wanted more of that, but you're just going to have to deal with more The Last of us. This will be more Ellie focused, but Joel's still part of it. As always please like and Reblog if you enjoy, you support means a lot. (Also warning for bad descriptions of guns, I literally know nothing about them and didn't want to do research on them for... obvious reasons.)
You held the gun in your hand steady, squinting at your target a head of you. Taking a deep breath in, you wait a quick second before pulling the trigger and... completely missing the target.
"You need to grip the gun more." Ellie spoke behind you, watching from the tree she was leaning on as you huff and puff in annoyance. She rolls her eyes with a small smile before walking closer to you.
"I am." You respond semi-harshly. She shakes her head while gripping the front of the gun and tugs on it, almost enough to pull it out of your hand, causing you to jolt forward. You look at her baffled, attempting to steady yourself as to not fall on your face.
"No, you're not." She said, grinning. You let out a groan, annoyed at the whole situation. You snatch the gun out of her hand and shove it back into your bag, swinging it over your shoulder. "We should be heading back; Joel will get mad if were out too long." She nodded and went over to grab her bag, which was laying on the tree she was previously leaning. Once she was ready you both start to make your way back home.
"Thank you, by the way." You said while walking. Ellie looked slightly shocked, leaning her head slightly in confusion. "For today. It was nice." You explained with a smile. Ellie's eyes widened for a moment, quickly being replaced with a pleased smile.
"No problem!" She spoke. "We could do this again, that is if you want." She offered awkwardly, getting a giggle out of you. You laughed with saying that you would think about it. You didn't know how much longer you two could keep this up, sneaking around just so you could go and practice shooting a gun or watch a movie. You were afraid Joel would find out and Ellie would get in trouble, but you could deny how nice it felt to finally be out of the house.
It was silent for a while, the only sound being a crushing of leaves beneath you and the voices of the town surrounding you.
"Why don't you call Joel dad?" The silence was broken by the sudden question. It was one that made you nervous, a knot in your stomach forming, causing you to feel sick. Ellie's eyes felt like they were peering into your soul, the words you spoke coming out a garbled mess.
"I... I don't... I don't know." It didn't seem like enough, Ellie still looking at you questioningly.
"I just think it's weird, ya know?" She was looking at the path in front of her, her gaze finally off of you. "Cuz he's been taking care of you for so long. It would just make since." You finally turn towards her, your stare just as questioning.
"You don't call him dad, and you've known him longer." The statement caused Ellie to stop walking for a second, you pause alongside her.
"Yeah, but it's different with me." She didn't explain what that meant, moving on as she turns her back to you to continue walking. "Anyway, it doesn't really matter, just wondering." You gawk quietly before rushing to catch up to her. You didn't know why Ellie brought it up. You've never called Joel dad, even before now. It's never felt like the right time. The question and the meaning behind it kept circling your head as you walked home.
As you stare at the door in front of you, you can't help but feel very nervous. You know you've done something wrong, leaving the house without permission, so you can't deny it if Joel finds out. You hope that Ellie will be there to defend you. You don't move when Ellie walks towards the door and opens its, motioning her head for you to come inside. You grip the straps of your bag, walking inside the home. Joel didn't seem to be home yet, which relived some of your nerves.
"You should put your stuff away before Joel gets home." You give a curt nod, darting upstairs to hide you bad underneath your bed. One fall onto you bed, letting out a deep sigh of relief. This was the most adventurous you've been, and you can believe you just got away with it. You were happy, but also very, very scared that Joel will find out. You roll onto your side and curl up into a ball, listening to the shuffling noises downstairs. The noise eventually dies down, and you're able to drift off into sleep.
When you awoke it was dark and someone was shaking you in an attempt to wake you up. You roll over sluggishly, squinting to find that it was Ellie, looking down at you with a smile.
"Hey (Y/N), wake up." She was whisper yelling at you to try and get you fully conscious.
"What do you want Ellie?" You were not in the mood for her right now, still being slightly asleep. She keeps shaking you when you move back on your side, leaning in closer to get louder without alerting Joel.
"Well for starters you missed dinner." She said matter of factly, brows furrowed. She starts to shake harder, "And I want to show you something." You respond by covering your ears with a pillow. "(Y/N)! Come onnnnnnnn." She groaned, only stopping once you sat up swiftly. She was suddenly smiling, pulling you out of your bed while putting a finger to her lips, shushing you. You giggle quietly, shoving her a bit as she dragged you downstairs. You didn't even realize that you were outside until you were hit with a wave of cold, covering your arms in an attempt to get warm.
Ellie continues to pull you towards your destination despite your protest. You eventually end up at a small clearing behind the farms and stables. Your whole body is freezing, and you can see your breath when you exhale. However, the sight above you makes you forget all about the cold. Ellie motions towards a beautiful night sky, entirely blanketed by a sheet of stars. You see what looks like constellations that you are unable to recognize, glimmering celestially, completely hypnotizing you.
"It's nice, isn't it. I found it a while ago. Knew you like it." Ellie's words came out softly, almost comforting. You nod, not looking at her, still captivated by the stars. Ellie, however, wasn't looking at the sky, just your shocked face. The stars were glimmering in your eyes, making you look even more childlike than you already are. Ellie didn't speak, wanting to savor this moment with you. Joel takes up so much of your time, she never gets to hang out with you. These moments mean the world to her, even if she does have to risk getting Joel mad. She knows you resent Joel for all he's taken from you, and she isn't afraid to abuse that knowledge. Sneaking you out of the house, teaching you how to shoot, it's all to get closer to you. She sometimes wishes it was just you and her. She could protect you; she knows she could protect you, maybe even better than Joel can. It's just a dream though, she knows that. But a part of her wishes it was a reality. For now, she'll settle for what she has, her and Joel being the only thing able to protect you.
Her smile widens, finally looking at the sky above her. She isn't as shocked as you, she's seen it tones of times. But she's happy to be her with you, and that's enough.
"Hey kids! What are you doing!" The sound of Joel broke you out of your stupor, looking at Ellie for what to do. She groaned, turning to look at Joel, who was grimacing, clearly upset that you two were out so late.
"What does it look like?" She asked sarcastically, pointed at the sky. "What are you doing up anyway, old man?" Joel chose to ignore the old man comment, moving to take off his coat and put it on you, pulling you by the shoulders towards him.
"Preventing you from getting a cold." He started walking, you coming along with him. "Come on, you shouldn't be out anyway." The comment was more directed at you, but it didn't prevent Ellie from getting irked, walking Joel take you from her.
"Hey wait up!" You let out a small laugh, getting one out of Joel as well as Ellie ran to catch up with you. You smiled. Today wasn't so bad.
A/N: This kinda sucked but its finished.
