Warnings: Suggestive, mdni, vibrator, established relationship, fluff, Law might be ooc but idk
AU: Modern
A/n: This started out ad a brain worm not long after midnight lol but it turned into this. I feel like the ending is a bit weak but I've never been good at writing endings 😔
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Law stared at the tiny black remote in his hand that you had given him. Although he wasn't entirely sure what this remote was for. He glanced up from the small pink device, looking at you for any sign you'd tell him what this was supposed to be. When all you did was flush a brighter pink, he sighed softly and looked back at the remote. Slowly, his thumb brushed over the top button on the remote. He didn't press it, but you still shivered in what he could only assume was anticipation.
Thank god you were an open book sometimes. At least now he had an idea of what was happening.
"... What is this?" he asked, wanting to confirm his guess.
Hearing you stutter out nonsense had him look at you again. You were nervously fiddling with your fingers and rubbing your thighs together, confirming his suspicions without needing to say anything. A slight frown tugged down his neutral expression, but you seemed too caught up in being flustered to notice.
"I thought we agreed we weren't going to do anything like this yet," he commented, snapping you out of your flustered state.
You're eyes widen a little; then you look away with what he could only describe as embarrassment and a little shame on your face. "Yeah, I know..." you softly begin to answer, "but I felt terrible for putting that boundary about not doing anything related to sex."
Law felt his heart melt, wondering if he had unintentionally acted harshly toward you since you set that boundary about a month ago. "You really shouldn't," he said softly. "I overreacted when you told me you didn't feel ready. It's okay to set boundaries. Especially if it involves something you don't feel ready for," Law explained, hoping he sounded comforting instead of reprimanding.
"I know it's just..." you started, nervousness lacing your voice, "I set that boundary more to keep myself from breaking my beliefs and personal code rather than not feeling ready, if that makes any sense. Because even though I don't want to have sex or anything outside of marriage, I want you. I want you so bad it sometimes hurts. Late at night, I fantasize about the things I want to do with you, the things I want you to do to me, and sometimes I-I touch myself while thinking about you and those things," you confess and ramble shyly.
Law stared at you, genuinely shocked to hear you confess something so lewd. A gentle pink dusted across his face as he looked away while covering his mouth. When he glanced back at you, he saw how your eyes widened, clearly worried you had said something wrong.
Damn it, why did you have to be so cute?
"So you bought a vibrator as a sort of compromise?" Law asked, lightly pressing the top button, watching how you tensed up.
A slight smug smirk appeared on Law's face as he pressed the top button several times. He watched your face shift to one of surprise and pleasure. You whimpered and pressed your legs together in an attempt to deal with the vibrations deep in your core.
You quickly nodded, starting to fidget with your fingers again with your eyes locked on the remote in his hand. "Y-yeah... if that's okay," you answered.
Law took a step closer and placed a hand on your face only to gently put his thumb in your mouth to press down your tongue, whispering, "Trust me, it's more then just okay."

You know that scene in episode 1x07 when Stede is in bed reading a book and does that somewhat surprised/interested "huh" (bad description lmao idk how else to call it)? Do you have any headcanon about that moment? I like to think the convo with Jack and the buggering comment got him reading gay porn (Not that i think he didn't before, just that now he could read it differently than how he might have at home.) It's such a small moment but I still think that tiny expression has to mean something
OK, I have not answered this because I've been thinking about it for a day.
That entire scene with Jack is fascinating from the perspective of what Stede might or might not know about homosexuality and how he relates it to himself. I've said before that while I don't think Stede is naive about the existence of things like sodomy or sexual pleasure, he doesn't associate that with love and desire, at least not for himself. If we assume that his sole sexual experiences are with Mary, he's not had much pleasure in sex, and certainly never felt desire in it.
Jack's "buggery" comment isn't just crass; it's quite reductive in a way that Stede would actually understand. It's not a nice word in context (actually quite a violent one) and we have to remember that sodomy is illegal at the time. His reaction is to be jolted by the word, and then to beg off: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Tumblr media
I don't think this means that he actually has zero idea what buggery is, but that he'd never think of it as something he'd be doing with Ed - and that in itself says a lot about his associations with the purpose of sex vs. love.
Stede's a bundle of confusion - Ed is his friend, he likes Ed, he has feelings for Ed that he doesn't really understand yet; also Ed has had sex with men, apparently with Jack, whom Stede doesn't like. There's still this separation between sex fulfilling a function—for pleasure, which Stede hasn't experienced, and for procreation, which Stede has—and sex being connected to love. Sodomy of course would be for pleasure (since it can't be for procreation), but words like "buggery" definitely don't attach it to love.
But at no point does he express disgust that Ed might have had sex with men, nor does he deny anything to Jack (and he could've easily said that no, they're not doing that). He's disgusted by Jack and how Jack talks, especially about Ed, and goes almost immediately to "Ed's past is Ed's business and I respect that." I think this begins to indicate that Stede might know, somewhere in himself, that his relationship with Ed is not solely friendship.
To bring this all around to the subject of what he's reading that night...I don't know that Stede has necessarily sought out gay porn, or that he's seen it as a vehicle for his own pleasure. He'd likely be aware of it as something that exists, and of what has been written about relationships between men, but it takes him a long time to come to some connection between things he might find pleasure in, men generally and Ed in particular, and love and desire. I really think that Stede just assumes that sex and love aren't connected, that sex and pleasure are only barely connected, and that none of them are for him.
(Folks, please add to this, 'cause I find the whole undercurrent with Stede most fascinating.)

I read TSaTS, and loved every second of it
I disappeared from social media to do that, and seeing things now, apparently people are hating on the book??? I honestly have no idea why, and honestly, it makes me sad. I wrote those notes as I read it, and never felt the book was weak or messy, and I'll stand on that boat, 100%. I LOVE this book with my entire existence now, and what people are thinking about it won't affect that, I truly hope.
And I've been binge reading all of Riordanverse in the last month, so everything is fresh on my mind.
Anyways, I'll just leave the notes I did here while I read it. Of course, SPOILERS! I read it without getting even one spoiler, and that made the experience unique and much more enjoyable than others I had in the past.
• I LOVED the silly star war discussion in the beginning, even not quite understanding it xD It was so cute and genuine, maybe with some probably thinking it’s cringy!
• WILL TALKING ABOUT HIS PAST 🫶🫶🫶🫶 I really wanted to see more of him and his story, so they just there, chilling and talking about things, forgetting, even if for only a few seconds, how their situation is so cruel… It made me really happy! Hope they’ll be back soon to just relax and be cute… (haha...)
• I hope the tiny snippets about the water Nymph will have its own scene!!! I was dying to know how their love story start, so it needs its own full chapter!!! (now finishing it, that didn't happen, but the scenes got longer!!! So, victory!!!)
• Now the first POV switch (ch 10) …. Sus. Is pretty weird that the what they see does not seem reliable, and right after it each one of them shares a vision were they’re suffering, but the other one is being kinda “selfish”, and not like themselves. I totally think what they’re “living” is not true, but I don’t know when they stopped seeing things right, or what happened to them. Where? Weird. I do know Will wouldn’t just give up, “I can’t be here”, or Nico going “Coward!”. The POVs don’t match, and I’m CONFUSED.
• Of course it’s a demon! And I do think it hilarious how they’re discussing gender norms while the demon is trying to strangle Nico…,,, normal day, I guess? And Will immediately saying sorry to them like, LMAO
• Man, playing Hades and seeing Nyx like this on the Riordanverse is PAINFUL. She’s so gorgeous (STUNNING), calm and mother-like there. And she always has this kinda insane-y vibe here.
• Ah, “‘I’ll always be here”. There it is, they’re getting separated.
• AGAIN? “if Nyx wants your darkness so bad, you can just leave some of it with her! That wouldn’t be so bad.’”. IDK man, I’m thinking this will be more true than they think, I just feel it 😭😭 And more literal than that, too. (here I was thinking about Nico leaving his powers there. I was pretty wrong on that xD)
• I think that addressing Will’s irk towards the underworld is pretty important. I really like how both of them are on different, but pretty understandable sides. After everything we know about the UW, it’s hard to be open and accepting to it. Nico is super related to it, and he knows his father’s palace, so he has a completely different view of it. Will is all about life and light, so it should be even less appealing to him. Man, he NEEDS sun to live, it's literally part of his being. It’s easy to understand his side. But there are good people and beings living there too. It’s almost another universe. It’s Nico home, past, family and history. It probably hurts a lot to see his boyfriend being so contrary to it, basically negating a part of him, and kinda making his thoughts of Will “ignoring the “””bad and scary””” “ parts of him to be able to accept Nico hold place. It’s sad, hope this will get a good development and closure. Too bad I’m pretty sure it won’t be soon….
• Okay! The farm commentary! That made me sad. I think here Nico was a tiny bit too much. I felt the “People farm here?” from Will was genuine confusion. I would picture on my mind automatically growing crops underground. Hey, I killed (and it still saddens me) succulents by keeping them inside my no-that-sunlit bedroom. How would people grow things successfully on the underworld? That totally very much probably is not included in common sense! Will most certainly was not trying to stab Nico or the UW life, just would like some explanations.
•The Mythomagic story in Nico’s past 😭😭😭 The feels, I swear. It was pretty relatable, poor boy. And that was on the last century, too, and I can't imagine how hard it would be to deal with being queer at that age.
•But hey, is Will talking about Hermes’ card there? Does he play Mythomagic?? Do they together?? That would be cute as hell, I hope they do.
•The canoe scenes make me so happy! I loved SO MUCH how they put them in between some painful scenes. It made it easier to breathe and take on the hard parts. One of the things I wanted the most was the backstory of their relationship, and being given ALL the details like that was definitely not what I expected. They’ve been amazing, super super cute.
• And hey, Paolo is queer?? He’s one of my fave background characters, and I really liked that 🫶🫶 Nice rep for us Brazilians, I really appreciate that, lol Really missed seeing more of him! Seeing a mention on this book was unexpected, but nice! Hope he’s getting better at communicating with everyone, hahah
• I LOVE MENOETES! The way this book is showing the nice parts of the underworld too, on contrary of house of hades that was pure hOrOR and pAIN. It was not what I was expecting, and I totally appreciate it, it’s cute. And wait does he grow the nectar and ambrosia? That’s genuinely impressive. He's a pretty cool guy.
• BUT HEY, GERYON? Sorry friend, I’m judgin here. Do hope you’re right saying he’s a changed man……,,,
• Now Persephone’s Garden…. One more time, they’re showing the nice parts of the underworld, and that’s super interesting.
• And the Persephone’s scene? I LOVED it, I think it was so necessary. My image of her was kinda bad ngl, remembering about her older appearances. She seemed a little crazy. But at that scene, the way she spoke with fondness and clarity… It was exactly what Will needed to hear, and it makes me happy to see that she’s much more accepting of Nico. Good times.
• But Anphistemis? That was one hard scene. They getting separated and all, but the worst part was the chaos when they reunited, and how the poor guy was used. I totally see why Will did that, hell, I’d do the same or worse, when it comes to surviving. I just hope that that was not the last time we see Amphitemis.
• COCOA PUFFS!! I love them too!! I kinda thought they were cute since they first appeared, and that made me feel weird. Good to see that they really are nice and petable!!
• The last fight made me so anxious. I'm just happy it's over. I really wanted for Nyx to chill and find some other purpose at the end, but I don't think that would be believable. Kinda sad. And I always liked those children of hern on their other book appearances too!!! Especially Nemesis.
• Bob, oh Bob. He's precious. I truly like this crew SO MUCH. Him, Small Bob, Nico, Will and and the Puffs. They just finally relaxing, free. Oh, that was so rewarding. Good for them!
• I CRIED with Nico's dream. All of his family... That was so warm. Nico deserved that, I really loved it. And good to know Amphis was not forgotten!!
• Nico hugging Chiron!!!! Mr D. being actually super nice!!!! Aw really, I loved this entire ending too. Everyone happy, talking, healing. Endings make me worried, sometimes my judgment of the work changes completely if the ending is bad. This one? No. It was a super nice wrapping.
• PIPEEERRRR!!!! Nico and Piper friends ? I'm super behind that, I love them a lot. I missed Piper! And her talk was so genuine. Full of worries that are pretty relatable too. Very sweet, wish the best to her too. I thought it was me expecting too much to see Piper, but I'm glad to be proved wrong.
• I'm sad Bob already left... I hope it'll still be possible for them to meet sometimes, Bob deserves the best in this new chapter of his life!! While writing this I noticed I didn't mention anything about the trogs. I guess my main impressions about them happened already on Apollo Trials, hahah. But I like them a lot too!!! I was very happy to see they're happy building their little world and society, and making even tastier dishes. Hiss-Majesty is amazing too, and I loved their closure working at the farm xD
• Plus Nico and Will at the ending. Very heart warming moment. Their relationship is super healthy, and I do NOT believe in anyone who says the contrary. Both of them clearly saw where they failed, communicated about that, and deeply, honestly, said that they would seek to do their best. Isn't this the most important thing of it all? They're super happy together, love each others' presence, and looking at their future together fills them with hope. Man, they just left TARTARUS. And now they're stronger, filled with joy about what is to come.
And that's it. Been reading through some other people's thoughts, and well. Sometimes I even wonder if we read the same book. Like people saying the writing is the worst thing they ever read. I literally spent the last 3 days finishing the 3 last ToA books and this one. My friends, it was NOT that different. In particular, comparing to HoO, of course, because of the third person narration.
The only thing different for me was the direct approach about feelings, and about being queer too (probably thanks to Mark Oshiro), and I definitely enjoyed those. Probably because of seeing myself in them too.
I think people are being way too judgemental of Will. You can for sure say he was too impulsive when he was so determined and stubborn about going to a place that would be literally poison to him. But people complaining he was already drained before getting to Tartatus, as going though everything he did was easy? That place was his antithesis. I was actually shocked he didn't crumble at the first step into the Underworld. But he went through it, with Nico always on his mind. I don't know, I can't understand the hate. And of course they would not be bubbly and fun, they were going though HELL. Did anyone really expected them to be on their best there?
And I think both of them are very misunderstood characters. I was in the fandom for like, almost no time, thus, idk much about the fanon interpretation of them. But after everything I read about Nico and Will on the books, nothing felt out of place here, no. And it reminded a lot of ToA too.
All in all, awesome book, was even more awesome than what I was expecting, and I was totally not disappointed. I will hold this book dear, close to my heart, and I wish people were more accepting of it. There's even an anti tag for it? I made the mistake of scrolling through it (I'm the type of person that gets sentimental when people attack something I love), and yes, people definitely have different experiences while going through works.

Ok ok, so I have a (possibly bad) theory that isn’t really a theory but more my brain trying to figure stuff out
So, ever since Kingdom Hearts III, I’ve kinda been wondering, in the back of my messy, messy mind, why Ephemera helped (? I’m guessing he was the one leading the fallen kids, at least) Sora at the Keyblade Graveyard.
I mean, I get why, big heartless storm, xehanort being xehanort, xehanort being Ephemera’s descendent (that was kinda confirmed right? I don’t remember for sure) which kinda makes him his responsibility a bit, yada yada yada.
It’s more like, why didn’t he do it before. Like, it’s not the first confrontation against old man Xehanort chronogically in the series. Why didn’t Ephemera help at the confrontation at the end of BBS? I mean, Ven was his friend, surely he’d want to help him not, you know, die or even just get turned into a weapon of mass destruction? (I gotta mention: Vanitas gets helped by the fallen kids’ keyblades during that confrontation iirc, so was that because of the darkness? Because he used to be part Ventus so he kinda counts as a union leader? Why wasn’t Ven helped by the keyblades then? Did Ephemera try to help Ven but accidentally chose the wrong one (oopsie teehee, oh well, better luck next time)? Anyways that’s weird and has always bothered me ever since I knew whose keyblades those were)
One of the explanations I can see for Ephemera no helping then is that Xigbar was running interference or something. I guess he didn’t interfere in KH III because of the Book of Prophecies or something, idk. Maybe Ephemera also didn’t act because of something in the Book of Prophecies, idk, I’m just trying to find some explanations
(Actual theory under the cut ahah)
But yeah, anyways, my bad theory
It came to me, as I was eating tortellini in the dark at 11:30 PM after taking a longer-than-planned 5 hours nap, what if… Sora was Ephemera’s reincarnation? Ok ok that’s a really shaky theory, I’ll admit it, but I don’t control was goes on in that brain (ahah, Brain) of mine
In any case, back to what I was saying, tortellini, 5 hour nap, Sora is maybe Ephemera’s reincarnation, ok, right, yes, back on track. So, Ephemera totally, very definitely died, right? It’s been like, a couple of centuries most likely, so he is either super dead, some kind of ghost just haunting the Keyblade Graveyard, or he’s the world’s oldest grandpa. From what we’ve seen in khux, when someone dies (or at least a keyblade wielder) for realsies (kingdom hearts death tends to be, ha, ephemeral), they either become a dream eater or they go in the reincarnation cycle or whatever (from what I remember at least, it’s been a minute). So either Ephemera turned into a cute colourful animal that 100% deserves a pet, or he went on to reincarnate, ya know?
(He could have also said ‘fuck you rules of the universe, I never liked you anyways’ and created a third option for himself out of sheer will. If anyone could, it would be him)
But yeah anyways, that could explain why he only shows up, cool red scarf swaying in the wind anime style, to Sora. Like, maybe a small tiny part of his soul (heart?) remained
It could also explain why Sora’s heart healed Ven’s at the beginning of BBS. There’s the reason that Sora’s heart was a newborn one of course, but if he was Ephemera’s reincarnation, then it’s not hard to believe that he would be drawn in by Ven’s presence.
Also, Ephemera has an association with the color red due to his scarf. You know who else is usually associated with red? Sora (and Lea, whose entire existence is red, but this ain’t about him)
(I have also thought of the possibility that Sora is maybe Ephemera’s descendant instead, but that would mean that he’d be related to Xehanort which is wild, but I do think that that theory is even more shaky than the reincarnation one. Tbh, I think that Riku being Ephemera’s descendant could be more likely, which, again, would make him related to old man Xehanort. Omg i just had an idea for an AU where Riku is actually Xehanort’s son/grandson, but that’s a story for another day i guess)
So, yeah, here’s my bad and unlikely theory. This is my first time making a post of this kind and I still don’t know how tumblr works so I’m very sorry if this looks like an incomprehensible mess. Thanks for reading though :)

deathstar headcannons. now. (please)
F*ck if I know any, dude but here:
Blackstar is the morning person, Kid is the night owl
Blackstar has gay energy with several other boy characters. This isn't a headcanon; this is just fact.
Kid is gay and ace. And therefore my favorite interpretation of Deathstar is queerplatonic partners or just romantic (queerromantic?)
Blackstar achieves immortality by absorbing the power of an old god, so he and Kid have kind of like this "Adam and Eve from Only Lovers Left Alive" thing going on where they're both immortal and very secure in their relationship, but they can spend months or years apart from time to time just because they want to do different things at the same time and don't force the other into anything.
Blackstar got his growth spurt first and spent the following days trying to rile Kid up about it as a form of flirting, but Kid was so completely unbothered by it that it went the opposite way instead with Blackstar being pissed and Kid being flirty.
They go on their first non-sparring date after the battle on the moon (mangaverse).
This isn't Deathstar related, but I headcanon that Blackstar has like a 3rd-5th grade reading level (comfortable level, I mean), and he likes middle school fiction like Warrior Cats and Animorphs or something idk
When Kid learns of this, he tries buying Blackstar a bunch of books in an attempt to keep him quiet, but Blackstar won't stop exclaiming commentary while reading.
Kid asks about the books to be polite, but then gets surprisingly invested when Blackstar rambles about them at length.
They competitively duet during karaoke, and they sing mcr or something idk any alt rock bands
Favorite songs that I relate to Deathstar are "Tiny Star" by the Blasting Company, "Back to You" by WILD (especially during the Salvage arc), "The Reckoning" by Dom Fera, "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult, and "Infinite" from Sonic Forces.
It's cliche to think Kid would have nightmares about Blackstar dying, so I think it's the other way around. Blackstar has always seen Kid as something that can't die, but there are exceptions to Kid's indestructibility, so a nightmare would be a reasonable way Blackstar subconsciously processes that. (The dreams start after the final battle with Asura ig.)
During the crush phase, the pining is mutual, but Blackstar is suddenly afraid of confrontation because he doesn't want to lose what they already have, and Kid is oblivious because he's one of the biggest dunces alive (the other one being Blackstar).
The first time they go on a mission together, they go to Paris, and Blackstar acts like it's a date while they're dicking around waiting for the Kishin to show up (this happens in my fanfic)
Their warmest term of endearment is "hey you" because they can't stand anything more typical for a romantic-ish relationship.
When Tsubaki goes out of town for a weekend, she asks Kid to keep an eye on Blackstar, but Kid has no idea what human limitations actually ARE. It doesn't help that Blackstar’s actually not great at admitting his limitations. (Tsubaki gets home and Kid's like "I insisted he go to the infirmary for a stubbed toe." Then Tsubaki's like "What happened to his arm" and Kid goes, "He says it'll grow back.")
They go to prom together or something idk
Whenever Kid is frustrated and starts panicking over something that's tied to a tangible object, (like phone calls, paperwork, etc), Blackstar just. destroys it. Just chucks it out the window. He does it to give Kid a break and pull Kid's mind away from Panicking in favor of being Mad At and therefore paying attention to Blackstar. (Which gives Blackstar an opportunity to pull Kid's attention away from work entirely. Blackstar got this trick from Patty.)
Once they're dating, Blackstar’s method for helping Kid out of a panic attack is a lil different than Liz and Patty's. Where Liz and Patty would try smothering Kid or distracting him, Blackstar hears Kid out and usually says something well-meaning or indifferent until Kid stops on his own. And it *works* because Blackstar is less emotionally appeasing but completely genuine and he, in a weird way, *does* handle the source of the panic attacks. He's the "talk you down by poking holes in your logic or straight up what-iffing you through the worst case scenario" friend, even if it can lead to some rough moments in their relationship. After a while with this method, Kid's panic attacks start losing their bite.
After a couple decades/centuries, Blackstar wants either a pet or a kid, and Kid forces him to have a pet plant *first* to ensure that he won't kill it. If Blackstar has ADHD (and... I have significant thoughts on why he MIGHT), Blackstar wouldn't be invested in the plant and he would therefore be unable to keep up with it, and it would die, but he keeps bugging Kid and eventually Kid sees the issue isn't necessarily capability but interest, and they compromise by getting a surprisingly mesmerizing betta fish. Blackstar gets SO into keeping pretty fish that he ends up creating a fish paradise out of a pond in their backyard, complete with shade to keep the pond temperature low and fairy lights to keep the place lit at night. It's so aesthetic and stereotypically relaxing yet so *Blackstar* at the same time. Kid spends many evenings out in the koi pond space to read and unwind. It's kind of the first time they've created something of mutual interest together that isn't work related. It's their first big Nothing.
Do they say I love you to each other? I don't know. Seriously, I'm asking, because I have no fucking idea
So in my fanfic, Blackstar is acquainted with the stray cars because of the aforementioned Warrior Cats book series thing (^this headcanon is coutesy of askthesouleatercrew, big brained AMAZING se content creator, etc etc). So in my fanfic, Blackstar finds a litter of kittens abandoned and rescues them. His and Tsubaki's apartment doesn't take pets, and neither does Maka’s (Blair doesn't count), so Kid offers to take them. This is how they transition into a phase of Blackstar coming over after school every day to see his children. He brings kitten food and other pet supplies and calls it child support. Kid either doesn't get it or isn't amused.
Kid started getting closer with Blackstar than with Liz and Patty after the Salvage arc, which is ultimately healthier for him in the long run.
Also, this is a playlist of memes that I like to reimagine as Death*Star

hey i sent that ask a while ago about being unhappy with steves (rogers) ending in endgame, and also related to the stranger things winter soldier au idea. and idk i just had a thought that like there could be steve & bucky and steve & buckley jokes in canon, bc the Captain America comic was published in the 40s, and with the party being "nerds" it would be possible that one of them had read it. idk just a silly thought lol.
everybody talks about batman and robin...missing another iconic superhero duo!! Cap also came back from being frozen in the 60s (I wonder what international events could have spurred on the reanimation of an American nationalist symbol!) and had two made for tv movies in the 70's. So he would have been slightly in the nerd public conscience, except idk if bucky existed in those. Alas, I'm pretty sure Bucky wasn't as popular as (any of batman's) Robin(s), and was only set up as a friend instead of teen sidekick for cap later. I'm pretty sure they were never as big as THEE batman though, so that would be the more obvious joke. (though Steve and Buckley is PRIME and I think someone would maybe try it out to tease?)
ALSO he was one of the three comic book characters up until 2005 or 6? (when he was reintroduced as the Winter Soldier) that very firmly had stayed dead (Uncle Ben and Jason Todd being the other too. obviously Bucky and JT have come back [I think Todd also came back the same year? big year for resurrecting dead comic boys!]), so Uncle Ben is truly the only person in comics that's going to stay dead forever.
Fun Nebs Lore: for some reason when I was but a child in the early 2000s I was under the impression that, instead of just. falling out of a plane and dying (from falling out), I thought Bucky had fallen off a plane wing (where he was fighting someone while the plane was in air?) and been hacked to bits by the wing propeller. (I was probably Primed to believe this because the original Iron Man origin traumatized 5 year old me) When my brother told me later that apparently they were bringing him back I was absolutely confounded because I thought he was. Very Dead. More dead than most dead comic characters. Relentlessly teased for thinking this (and that they'd write a teenager being, once again, violently chopped into tiny pieces to death via propeller in the 40s/50s comics) Though when he fell off the train in TFA my brother and I made Significant Eye Contact and he said "well. there for sure wasn't any propellers there." OKAY I GET IT what a bitch.

Murder on the Orient Express (1974) vs. Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
Never read the book so I'm considering plot-related things that probably happened in the book as the creations of the movies and it will count towards their rewards and penalties.
Things I liked from both:
-the handkerchief! big fan. the mystery of the handkerchief was better than the mystery of who murdered that guy.
-I like the locations in both. I like the scenery. I think they played with the being stuck on a train thing in their own ways and it worked out.
-There was a third thing I can't remember.
Things I despised from both:
-the ending. the dumbest ending in mystery history. mstry hstry. miss tree his tree.
-sorry i got distracted. literally it was so anticlimactic and SOOOO dumb. I had a friend who really liked the ending but he had horrible opinions about everything so fork spotted in the kitchen i guess. anyway drives me insane to this day.
Things I liked better in 74:
-The train. Looks like a real train. We get to look at it for a long time. A movie made for train-lovers, which is the main draw of Orient Express as a concept anyway.
-Generally better looking cinematography. I like.
-Hector. Freaking. McQueen.
-First of all, Anthony Perkins? Damn. Second, Anthony Perkins as McQueen? GAYYYYY (flirtatious). Noticed him the moment he appeared on screen. Totally in love with everything he did. No notes except a tiny one with my number on it. Anyway
-Ms. Hubbard. Genuinely annoying af as God intended. and she didn't have a random wig reveal (although that was funnnny. again that Branagh melodrama that's so ridiculous sometimes but admirably bold every time). anyway idk i like her. I don't like her but I do. the girlboss effect in action.
-The Armstrong case summarized in the BEGINNING thank you for making sense. Was so jarring in the 2017 version that they just randomly mention it later in the movie. No prior allusion to it or anything. Those first few scenes in the 74 version were unsettling to me in a good way.
-They look so relieved and happy when Poirot and Bianchi vote to pin the murder on the imaginary guy. It's just a cute little moment idk. Some of them hug each other. McQueen smiles and stands up and sits down for some reason.
Things I liked better in Branagh's:
-Branagh as Poirot. I feel like I'll be unjustifiably assassinated for this but I like him a lot. In this movie specifically, he's great. I dislike Orient Express compared to his three Poirot movies in almost every other respect but he was very refreshing here.
-From what I've seen of Branagh as a director, he excels at melodrama, and it shows here.
-Loveee how during the breakdown Poirot had no fucking idea who did it. When he said "it is time to solve this case" he meant it so literally. He meant "well we're on a deadline so I'm just gonna start talking and hope it all works out." Relatable af that's me writing my essays and shit. Also very funny.
-So there’s a scene, right? There’s a scene with Hildegarde (great name btw) and Poirot where he questions her in German so the princess can’t understand it and then she mentions seeing “the other conductor” in the sleeping car and he’s so shocked he switches to English and he’s like “WHAT other conductor???” and that was so cool you had to be there it was cool. Too bad it didn’t mean anything but it was sick.
-I like Bouc slightly better than Bianchi. Now, Bianchi has the better name. Fun to say. He was very silly and cool. But I can’t pretend I don’t love Bouc. C’mon.
-The count and countess. WOW. They were charming in 74 but in this one they are HOT. Holy shit. Even better somehow that we don’t meet them right away. They’re talked about in the beginning but we only see them when Poirot goes to their cabin to question them for reasons I can’t remember (I recall he originally wasn’t going to. They were in a different car or diplomatic immunity or something idk I was born yesterday). Anyway him just showing up at the elusive count and countess’s later in the movie and turns out the whole time they were just in there doing hot people shit. They were in two scenes but really carried the film with their sexual energy. 
General thoughts:
For the record, I wouldn’t recommend either of these movies. If this post inspired u to watch them for some reason, don’t you dare think of me. Goodnight.

Halloween headcanons!
● I have the idea that halloween, besides when they go to conventions, is the day when our dearest turtles can go around the city as they please. Perhaps even some days before and a few after, since people would see them and think they're going to a costume party
● I like to think that a halloween night was one of the first (if not the very first) times that the four of them went to the surface to explore
● Maybe Splinter would go with them the first few years, and from then on Raph took on the torch of keeping an eye out for his brothers as they all went around asking for candy
● And I just adore imagining the little tots going hand in hand, as to not lose each other around crowded places, with costumes they made or got some other way
● Group costumes! So many group costumes and even more so after they met April!
● I feel like growing up wouldn't stop them from still going out that night, though even if they don't do group costumes as much anymore, they at least tell each other what theirs is going to be. Because last time they didn't, they all showed up as Lou Jitsu
● And I mean all of them, even April. It's funnier if you think that by that time they already knew Cassandra and find her as Lou Jitsu too
● Raph and Mikey are all in for the candy exclusively, but Leo, Donnie and April are not above a prank or two. They make up quite the trio
● One year they covered all time square with toilet paper, it was a team effort between April's creativity, Leo's strategies and Donnie's chaotic genius. It was the talk around town for a few weeks, it's still brought up every year and people wonder if the same prankster will strike again someday... and they will, they just need to prepare a bit more...
● They don't exactly have a door that kiddies can knock, so I'm thinking that maybe, most likely Raph, carries a big bag of candy now that he's older, and gives a handful to all kids that he sees while on their walk
● Speaking of candy, we know that Splinter would eat the boy's sweets. So I'm pretty sure they all have places where they hide them ever since childhood, and Raph starts guarding the give-out-candy a week prior so the stash is as intact as possible for the big day
● If a store or food place has some special promotion about getting a discount or free stuff if you go in costume, you BET they take advantage of it. Sometimes they even get compliments on how seamless the costumes are
● In other general halloween-y related stuff, I imagine that Leo even if a skeptic, likes watching horror movies, though I have a feeling that he'd enjoy slashers more
● Donnie would only like old school horror movies or very niche ones, because he hates how predictable every jump scare is and specially how dumb the characters are sometimes
● He's a more horror book type of guy, and he is that one person that corrects others each time they refer to Frankenstein's creature as only "Frankenstein"
● Mikey, we know, he's not too fond of ghosts, though he's curious and still watches movies with the rest… behind the safety of a big pillow or Raph
● Raph… I think that he's pretty okay with anything, if it's not about evil toys coming to life, I think he's good. Still would rather watch Coraline, Hocus Pocus, Nightmare Before Christmas and other spooky movies over scary ones
● Okay but, imagine them carving pumpkins
● Raph would do either something Ghostbear related, or, a very tiny kitty face. Leo would try to have his pumpkin be the scariest looking with a big wide toothy grin and all. Donnie uses his tech for it, I think him fully capable of carving his own face and have the flame be purple
● Mikey would have a very artsy one, he'd carve something more intricate, maybe a family portrait, or a character he likes, or like scary looking trees. The only one that uses actual carving tools. Maybe he paints some pumpkins too instead of carving them, idk it just seems he'd have a lot of fun

Who is your most loved person?  I'd say my parents. I'm *really* bad at expressing it but I really think this is the case. They were the first people I thought of, too.
Have you ever been bullied?  Oh you have no idea how much you can be bullied over a name.
Who makes you the happiest?  I'd be lying if I didn't say BTS.
What is the most heroic thing you’ve ever done?  I like to think I saved a life once. I won't delve into it much but I had an orgmate who tweeted something in an extremely distressed yet decided tone and I caught it the second he posted, so I took it as a sign to reach out privately even though we weren't close outside of org work. Stayed with them for like half an hour until they calmed down. It doesn't matter to me whether they still remember that night or not, but I do like to go back to that moment when I need a little self-reminder that I can do nice things too.
What calms you down when you’re upset?  BTS bro.
Have you been betrayed in the past? How?  Yeah I have had a friend spill secrets of mine. Yes multiple ones, and yes it's the same person. I've had her blocked everywhere since 2009 and have no plans to ever talk to her again.
Who do you miss the most?  Nobody in real life.
What’s one sweet/candy you miss from your childhood?  Coffeebeat from Meiji. We used to have a local convenience store that would sell this bundle of Meiji candies - idk how to explain it but it was like a sampler bundle? So like tiny portions of different candies, and sold as one product - and I would only ever eat the Coffeebeats. All the other candies in that bundle, I gave to my sister.
Also, I FOUND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OMG. It's this one!!!
Tumblr media
Do you have a favourite celebrity chef?  Baek Jongwon :D I get so excited when BTS does stuff with him or when I see him on my favorite Korean variety shows.
Do you prefer diamonds or pearls?  Diamonds.
Is there anything coming out soon (books, albums, movies, video games) that you’re looking forward to?  Oppenheimer is already out but I have yet to watch it...maybe this Saturday! I've been meaning to take myself out on a weekend. As for music, just Taehyung's and Jungkook's albums.
How do you go about finding books/movies/music to read/watch/listen to?  Books: I never really read anymore but I'm bound to check a book out if it's related to my interests, like if I find out a favorite wrestler is coming up with a memoir.
Movies: I can pick up movie recos from anywhere. All I need is a plot that resonates with me or with my type of movie (read: drama).
Music: I listen to solely BTS these days but if any of the members share a song reco then I'm likely to check it out. So far my favorite music taste has been Joon's.
What’s a band/musician you were really into for a while but who you don’t care about or hardly listen to anymore?  Banks and alt-J.
What is something someone recommended to you that you disliked/hated?  It wasn't recommended to me per se but I was once invited to a birthday gathering where we were treated to watch Me Before You, and I remember not liking it all that much.
Do you find it difficult to keep up with online friendships?  Yes, which is why I quit that life many years ago. It's hard when you're on different timezones, and even harder when you drift apart. After losing my circle of friends from my wrestling fandom, and after experiencing Carley go on and off the radar 1 billion times, I've been too scared to make online friends again.
Has there ever been a person you regret ever being friends with?  Kind of.
Do you think you have a good understanding on love?  I don't know. What counts as 'good'? I don't think I'll ever understand love completely; all I know from it are my own experiences.
What do you want to do on your honeymoon?  I'm not sure, actually. Never really thought about it. First thing that came to mind is to go to South Korea but I feel like I'm just saying where I want to travel HAHAHA
What do you think of your parent(s)?  They are very hardworking and have always done the most and best they can for us.
I do wish my mom did not inflict/pass on so much of her mental anguish on us when we were kids, and I wish she didn't treat us and talk to us and get frustrated with us as if we were adults when we were like 5...but the older I get, the more I understand where she was coming from. I get it. But just because I'm able to empathize now doesn't mean I've forgiven all that happened in the past.
If your best friend confessed that they can see the future, you would…?  I would tell her to get real.
What’s your least favorite pizza topping?  Pepperoni, salami, beef, pork, pineapple.
What’s your dream pet?  I don't have a dream pet. For me, all I need are dogs.
Most unattractive male name, in your opinion?  Bob or Mark.
Is your pet dog male or female?  I've only ever had male dogs.
Have you or would you try shark meat?  I would.
Do you know anyone that’s pescatarian?  I'm pretty sure I do - I think Joanna may be? - but I just wouldn't be able to identify who off the top of my head.
Do you think the government has a cure for cancer, but is hiding it from public?  I highly doubt that.
Do people normally describe you as sexy? No.
Was your ex born in America?  No.
Has your best friend ever made you cry?  Um, only happy ones. She kept me alive when I couldn't do it for myself, and I tend to get emotional when I think about those days.
Do you still talk to the person you liked six months ago?  I haven't liked anyone in nearly three years.
Has anyone ever talked you into doing something you didn’t want to do?  Isn't that the experience of everyone with an Asian parent ever?
Are you smiling in your Facebook profile picture?  The biggest smile I've ever done, yes. I was in Bangkok, posing right in front of the arena where Yoongi was performing that evening.
Be honest, does the person you like actually deserve you?  I don't like anybody.
List 5 things that have been on your mind most recently.  Considering resigning before I get my next promotion; Our family vacation in December that I really don't want to happen; Work-related reimbursements that I need to request ASAP; Figuring out when to be firm and when to be loose as a manager; Taking my dogs to their next vet appointment.
Would you ever wear black lipstick? Do you know anyone who does?  I never wear black lipstick and no I don't know anyone who does.
If you wear eye shadow, do you put on a dark colour or a light?  I don't really wear eyeshadow.
Do you combine your socks and underwear in the same drawer?  Yes, I do.
Does the last person you kissed live within walking distance?  No.
Is there someone you could hang out with all the time, without ever getting bored of them?  Probably not. I love my friends, but at some point I'd also prefer my own company. I was overseas with my close friends for just 5 days, but after that I couldn't wait to be on my own hahahaha.
Do you know a girl named Beth? Tell me about her.  I used to. She was a semi-online friend from the wrestling community; like we weren't close by any means, but we were part of the same community 'clique' and would always be cool with each other whenever we'd interact. She's from the UK and had a CM Punk-related username. She's very pretty, too.
Do you think the last person you kissed has ever lied to you?  Yes.
Have you ever been hit on by somebody way too old for you?  No.
First kink tried?  Choking.
First time doing oral?  I was 18.
Do you send nudes? Do you like receiving them?  Well, not these days, but yes I used to. Yeah I like receiving them too, as long as I'm actually *with* the person; otherwise I imagine I would be grossed out.
How much teasing do you like?  It's not my favorite thing in the world but I can play along. I'd rather be teased than do the teasing, though.
Are you okay with name-calling in bed?  I don't think I've ever experienced it...but I'm open to exploring and figuring out if I'm actually into it.
How often do you do unprotected sex?  I used to be in a same-sex relationship so this wasn't really something I worried about.
Do you like wearing/seeing people in lingerie?  Honestly not into it.
Are stockings/thigh-highs a turn on?  Not for me.
How many other people know your bra size?  I doubt anyone else does.
Do you have any friends you’d sleep with?  Nope.
Does the person you like have any flaws?  I don't like anyone.
Has anyone ever given you a ring? Why?  Yeah, just for funsies.
Creation theory, evolution or the Big Bang theory?  Anything but creation.
What was your last serious conversation about?  I'm so sure and I'm too exhausted to try to remember.
Have you ever been into a real cave?  Yes.
Have you ever posted mean comments on YouTube?  I don't think so. I rarely comment on YouTube anyway.
Name the strangest game you’ve ever played (video game or real game):  I'm not a big gamer but something that comes to mind is that Flash bartending game lol. Strange, but very nostalgic and very very fun.
Who was the last person to play with your hair? Are they cute?  I can't remember...maybe Angela? She's the likeliest to do so anyway.
Who was the last person close to you that died? Did you cry?  Marisse's dad. I didn't cry, but there was a heaviness even though I haven't seen him since I was 7. He and my grandpa used to be close, and seeing him after all these years, but just at his wake, reminded me of those memories I have of them together.
Do you know anyone who uses medical marijuana?  No, that's not legal here.
Do you know anyone who’s died in childbirth?  I have a cousin who apparently passed on, but I'm not sure if what happened was a miscarriage or death in childbirth. We don't really tackle Sophia within the family, but I wish I could know more about her. I only learned about her to begin with from Facebook, although I wish I didn't have to learn about a dead cousin that way.
Do you agree with the “they’re just being kids” excuse?  Idk I feel like this is such a vague statement. There are some things that can be excused, but if a kid is like committing arson or beating up other kids or abusing animals then I'm not letting that slide.
Have you told your parents all of your secrets from when you were a teen?  Never.
What’s the worst name your mom has ever called you?  She has implied that I am worthless in a million and one expressions.
What’s your stance on spooning?  It's cute, until a certain point. I prefer cuddling so I can face the other person :)
Do you currently want a new computer?  It'd be cool but I'm not too pressured to get a new one. Like I've said in previous surveys, I only ever use my personal laptop for taking surveys now. Spending 100k for a new laptop is just such an expensive way to take more surveys LOL
How would your parents react if you got a tattoo?  I feel like they would be nonchalant. I'm 25 and they mostly leave me be at this point + they have their own tattoos so why complain about mine?
Who is your truest friend?  Angela.
Who is your oldest friend?  Angela.
How long have you known them?  18 years.
Where are they right now?  I'm guessing she's at home.
Have you ever dated a friend of one of your siblings?  Nope.
Have you ever dated someone who had a child?  I have not.
What has been your biggest failure in life?  Hmm, probably my first and last relationship.
Do you trust yourself?  For the most part.
Would you ever consider getting an abortion, under any circumstances?  Honestly, no. If it happens, it happens; I support abortion as a choice but it's personally not for me.
What was the last bug you killed?  An ant, I think.
Do you prefer profile pictures by yourself of with someone else?  By myself.
Has a boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s parents ever gotten mad at you? Why?  No idea.
What is the funniest thing a child has ever said to you.  Not to me but my aunt once told me a funny story about my then-10 year old cousin; apparently the two of them had been going grocery shopping and were stopped at the alcohol section. My aunt, bless her heart, was asking my cousin what flavor of soju to get, to which my cousin exasperatedly replied, "I don't know mom, I'm 10." one of my favorite stories ever looooooool.

[Book] Ari&Dante (1) ~P101
[~p10]
I... This book... Umm😳
So. This is another impulsive beginning of starting another book... I never knew about the existence of this novel two days ago. My sister asked me if I had another book to read, and, frankly, I said no because I still have several other thing to read and I’m a slow reader. But I looked of fiction titles anyway... Just some random keywords like ‘Novel about X’ or ‘Things to read about Y’ and stuff like that. And I’ve come across this one. 
IT’S ONLY 10 PAGES but i feel like the synopsis set me up for something exciting like... I LIKE IT... Mostly the bite-sized chapters so I can read it when I could and not forgetting which part of the chapter I’m in. So... Okay. Like, compared to the one book I read but I haven’t picked up again because I kept nitpicking about it (i see u hikkikomori chan from 2015...) BUT THIS ONE... ok. ok. ARGH. 
The first three chapters is what the early part of the introduction. Like, getting to know about our main protagonist, his relation with his family, upbringing and what bothers him. That’s mostly it. This is far too early to write anything about what I thoughts lol but i’m excited to pour my excitement into words so I can’t help but write about it. expecting good vibes. HA....
*I just looked it up but the term ‘book’ and ‘novel’ aren’t interchangeable?!?! there’s like word count and stuff. oh well maybe I’ll just change the title of this kind of thing later on >_> -------------------------------------------------------
[~p20]
Interrupting reading more to write some of my thoughts is a bad idea i swear but UHHH I’M😳
...
...
i love them ur honor. it’s so fluffy (as of now, bcs there’s probably angst and conflict later) but like the way characters is portrayed is soooooooo good. i am feeling things!!!! it’s making my heart warm!!!! and the tropes... opposites attract?????? two lonely peeps finding comfort in one another????? okay... OK??? HELLO...
-------------------------------------------------------
[~p76]
uh... why do i feel so sad now. ari is having a fever and he’s sick and he started to have all this dreams which i don’t really understand because dreams are dreams but i feel like i’ll understand the more i read but IT HURTS. moving onto the second chapter i feel like the aspect of loneliness is going to be described more and it’s scary... i think.
i think summer break is over and supposedly they’re going to admit back to school? something about ari being happy to know even a tiny bit of his dad ‘being real’. so precious... love that there’s a lot of light dialogues, makes it seems like i’m intruding their conversation. also i said some stuff about liking opposites attract but i didn’t know they’re also going to put angst with that because... dante seems like the one to have everything (emphasis on seems because he has something going on too) while ari lowkey feels like he doesn’t compare and jealousy and stuff😔 i’m lowkey dumb about philosophy and like the deeper meaning so i’ll just read it as i read. NOT ANGST... PLEASE... 
-------------------------------------------------------
[~p101]
...
...
:(
no one told me there’s going to be angst... and the trope of sudden “i will be moving abroad”... and the accident... and now that i’m almost 1/3rd of reading the whole book.... maybe i should take my time reading. BUT I CAN’T HELP IT....? i’m to engrossed in reading this ugh... i really liked ari and dante’s convo they make me laugh!! the repeated words in their convo. like. idk. it felt so endearing i don’t really know what else to describe. digging down to ari’s fear is scary because it’s kinda described in umm... a little bit too uncanny description, i guess? like okay... >_> 
this post is so messy lol i want to write a post about what i thought overall about this novel, but after i read it whole. so that it can be more better worded and i’m not interrupted every 20 minutes because the urge to read more lol

Female Separatist Town (American based but welcoming of all women)
Hi gyns!! I plan on starting up a female village for refuge for women and also for support but I haven't been able to get anywhere with it or just get the idea off the ground in general. Figured I'd start posting about it now because I'm 100% serious. I'm 20 right now and hope to get this going in 5-10 years. I'm buying farming land in Idaho for personal use in 2-3 years to build my cob house and plant and maintain a forest (which'll all be separate from the female town). the location may change but I'd love to just get some support and get ideas going :·)
To lay out the idea of what life will be like: every one will work and live together, every one will know each other, we will work out our problems together. like a tribe. society wouldn't be money based but more familiar and focused more on trade of actual objects of value and every one will work together to survive. some key jobs would include:
physician
dentist
hygienist
pediatrician
geriatrician
gynecologist
surgeon
internist
psychologist
nurses (multiple)
therapist (multiple)
horticulturist
stockman/husbandman (wifewoman ig lol)
rancher
farmer
hunter
butcher
forester
shepherd (already taken by me :P will also weave cloth and make string)
potter
seamstress
botanist
microbiologist
chemist
physicist
biochemist
ecologist
agronomist
architect
engineer
metal worker
plumber
electrician
handy woman
carpenter
brick maker
ironworker
contractor/builder
teachers (k-12)
professors (of any study)
collectors (books, artifacts, hard to come by items that are necessary for life idk)
cleaners/jaintors
mayor and other government officials/people who oversee specific apartments of labour (obviously a very tiny government and will we all know and trust each other)
and general labour workers/jack of multiple trades
plus anything else anyone can think of!
as for the more individual parts of life, that's up to you as long as your choices don't ruin shit for others! what kind of house you wanna live in is up to you as long as you can build it or trade something for whoever builds it for you. your diet can be whatever as long as you can trade with the farmers/butchers or if you're able to grow/hunt your own food. if you want help with things that you can't or don't know how to do, there should be people to help. in turn if you specialize in something you should be there to help others as well! if you would rather stay away from people but live in a safe town filled with only other women, then you can do that too! I do recommend we have constant daily resources for everyone that include /breakfast, lunch, dinner/ kitchens so we can all eat together, small "apartment complexes" or dorm like rooms for people who have just moved in and are still in the process of settling. crisis centers for traumatized or battered women who are escaping bad situations, orphanage for abandoned girls, as well as a Montessori styled school (for LEARNING not indoctrination or forcing them to be a specific way ya know), food forests so people can just grab a snack, a town square where we can all gather for funsies, town hall for any discussions, etc etc etc and anything else anyone can think of to add.
now for the "well what about-"s
no males. no husbands. no boyfriends. no brothers fathers sons. if you want to see them you can go visit them. but they can not stay or visit. that just defeats the purpose. if you are a woman with a son then maybe you can live near the town for support but not actually in the town. that's not fair to the female children. you can have all the relations with males that you want just like,,, not in the town. go crazy! away from the settlement. it'll just be a safe space to be able to walk around at night and for women that do not want male relations.
and to make sure the town actually stays safe and isn't constantly harassed or sabotaged, I suggest we have basic security measures. a fence around the town (with opening for animals and various other wildlife) would be best since it will be bought, private land. guards and guard dogs as well. getting friendly with towns and tribes near us for trade and whatnot will also help with any negative ill will, introduce ourselves to our neighbors! especially cuz most of us will have to go into town for any needs when we first start up.
as for religion, highly discouraged :/. it's just not safe to bring in any organized, misogynistic rhetoric. you can practice in your own home, maybe with a few people, but seriously cmon man if you're a radfem you should know better lmao. but also any violence directed at religious women is a gigantic fucking no no. but again if you're a radfem you should know better. discussions allowed ofc.
as for... controversial women. opinionated women. conservative women. women who pick a lotta fights. women that create drama. we're all human ya know. every woman that seeks refuge here will be welcome. obviously we're not all gonna match. some of us will have very different opinions about how things should be run from each other and the best we can do is lay basic ground rules and go each day from there. as long as we can have organized discussions and a nice line of communication with each other, I think we should do fine. a suppose an older matriarch would be our saving grace lol. (some of this might not apply for women who commit crimes, what counts as a crime? dawg idk fucking rape and abuse and murder n shit but we'll figure that out once we have a nice rhythm going)
another point i wanna bring up is circular lifestyle. the whole point is not only to not live with men, but to also not live like men. today's American society is extremely wasteful and not long term in the slightest. if we want to make life better for women, a natural way of living is most important for future generations. eco hippie living but without the pretentiousness lol. so no plastic!! that shit is a poison!! eventually im going to make a powerpoint moodboard list type thing of what i'd like it to be like and explain some of these topics in more detail. for now I'm just gonna plug in some graphics that explain better than me lol ⬇
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some last minute thoughts: this town will NEED to be anti racist. if one thing will not be tolerated it will be racist women. yain't gonna come in here and make shit hell for other women. another thing is I really wanna strength ties with any natives on reservation near us. and since America is stolen land, to tread carefully with what we have. obviously we will have to buy the land (...... hopefully together of course) but that doesn't mean we actually own the earth there.
I suppose that's it for now. I hope most of you won't just scroll through this and will actually take the time to read this. female separatism is needed now and I know we can do this. not only that but we need to. it's about time we got shit started in America. society here will only get worse. please try to think about this as a serious proposition/proposal. if you have any question or want me to clear anything up, please ask on this post!! if you have any ideas to add, again in the comments on this post so everyone can see. also if you would like to get closer with me so we can get to know each other I'm thinking about starting a discord but those always die lol so if I trust you I'll give you the @ to my main on instagram.
this is not a discussion post for anything unrelated to what is said in the post. troll comments will be deleted. for radfems/female separatists only.

Hey! I'm a new follower and idk if you do requests. But if you do I have this idea where Spencer is just about to start working towards his second PhD at college and he's obviously still a teenager, but the reader is the little sibling of someone who is in the same year as Spencer and they bump into each other whilst they're visiting them. And they constantly surprises him by finding ways to relate their normal teenage life to his abnormal one. And then at the end of the day before they have to go they ask Spencer out by writing their number on his hand or some other romcom cliche and it sends him into a stuttering mess.
It's totally cool if you don't like doing requests, I just don't know how to approach this idea and think it would be cute :)
it always starts with a
spencer reid x reader
warnings: anxiety, food mention, lots of anxiety, oh and mentions of school.
a/n: this is just a beginning. dont you worry. (ps. it is kind of short.)
*
here was the thing: spencer couldn't stop thinking about all the bacteria on the door.
and once he started thinking about the bacteria on the door, he was trapped in a cycle of trying to recall how many times he’d touched his face today.
was it… 16 times? did he wash his hands after leaving the lab? did he use the sanitizer--which had bacteria of its own--before leaving the office building? was it 17? had he gotten something in his eye?
doors were hotspots for bacteria, door handles especially and spencer didn't want to touch either of those things, didn't want to touch his face again.
that's why, on a wednesday afternoon, he was standing in front of apartment 4B, not daring to breathe.
who knew what was in the air around here?
it was obviously because he was worried about the germs, about getting sick again, and it was obviously not because he wasn't sure how loud he was supposed to knock. if ben--a fellow student in his year, with whom he was supposed to be hanging out with--was asleep. if this apartment with the meek yellow door was the right one. if this was even the right time.
if he should even be considering this in the first place.
he checked his watch again, but only a minute had passed.
he just didn't want to knock on the door, he rationalized. it had nothing to do with the slight increase of his heart rate that he could feel even though he hadn't checked. nothing to do with anything else.
maybe it was 18 times, he had sneezed once this morning.
really, he wasn't even sure why he was here, why he had agreed to come. ben was one of his nicer peers, but still, he was six years older than spencer and probably had better things to do. like, hang out with people his own age or consume alcohol. hang out and consume alcohol.
spencer couldn't do either.
and he had better things to do anyway--he had a report to write, a book he’d just picked up, and a million other things that he could get finished tonight, anyway, so he should just leave.
okay, he nodded. he would leave then, ben wouldn't be too disappointed.
it probably wasn't the right time anyway, and he probably hadn't even been serious when he’d asked if spencer wanted to come over.
that was it, really, spencer was just overthinking this.
but still, his hand was paused in the air, as if trying to get the courage to finally knock on the door. as to not let go of that tiny prick of hope he'd let invade his system.
bacteria was everywhere, nowadays.
it had been at least three minutes now, standing like this. spencer felt ridiculous. he often blamed the age discrepancy on his lack of social involvement, but clearly, it was more about him. he was ridiculous. his mind was ridiculous, and the fact that he was standing here was definitely ridiculous.
he couldn't even knock on the door, or pretend that it wasn't the problem.
he scoffed and took a step back. then stepped forward a moment later. he probably looked like an idiot. definitely.
still, he held his hand up again, edged it just centimeters away from the door. he would just knock, he thought, he would knock twice, just loud enough to be heard. if this was the wrong apartment he would just apologize, use his best smile. if this was the wrong time ben would just kindly turn him away and then spencer would go home covered in shame and probably cry himself to sleep.
right. it wouldn't be too bad.
he took a breath in, stopped pretending to think about bacteria, thought about leaving, and then, with one more breath, he just touched his hand to the door.
but before he could overthink the amount of pressure, the door swung open, as if on his command, and he no longer had to knock at all.
no bacteria to be concerned about, any longer.
but it took him a moment to process what had happened, and in that moment, he hadn't looked to see you--you with your eyes wide, your mouth curled, your hands full--standing there in front of him.
“hi?” you said, shocked to have almost run into someone right in front of the door. your voice sound strained, but then again, maybe spencer was making things up.
he'd been doing it all day.
it didn't matter how strained you sounded though, because spencer couldn't speak at all.
somehow, this was worse. worse than getting the apartment wrong or being laughed at for even showing up in the first place. this was something he couldn’t have expected.
there was no irrational thought that told him someone else might be in there with ben.
there was no ridiculous thought that told him someone like you might have opened the door before he could even begin to knock. there was no ridiculous thought that could have even imagined something like this happening.
or maybe that's what he would tell himself later, once he thought back on the embarrassing five seconds he’d stared at you, unable to say a single thing.
“were you about to knock?” you asked when he didn't answer, voice fading as you took a step backward, looking down, trying to give him some space.
spencer’s eyes widened, he clenched his fist, now, struggling with the unexpected.
he appreciated the space.
“um,” he started, tried to nod, swallowing when he saw the polite smile you were trying to aim at him, trying not to look too irritated, probably. “i’m looking for ben?” he winced at the way his voice shook.
immediately, a light switched. your smile faded into something different. "of course," you murmured, letting the door go and taking another step back. spencer stared as you smiled, eyebrows raised, and gestured for him to follow. hopefully, you hadn't noticed the dumbstruck look on his face. “ben mentioned he was having someone over, you’re…”
“spencer,” he whispered, loud enough.
“right, spencer!” your voice was quiet as you led him into the apartment. he noticed your bag, the shoes you were dangling from your fingers. the silent steps you were taking as you walked through the apartment.
he felt terrible for stopping you on your way out the door. felt terrible for not knowing that ben had someone else over. felt terrible for being here. felt terrible because he couldn't even figure out what to say next.
so he was glad when you turned back around, clearly with the intent of introducing yourself.
well, he thought, at least he didn't have to awkwardly decline a handshake. at least you wouldn't get the chance to notice his sweaty palms.
“i’m y/n. you go to school with ben?” your eyes were focused on him, but he noticed the hand that was playing with something on your belt. he tried not to get distracted by the small movement. tried not to think at all.
“yes, um, we’re both getting our doctorate degrees,” there was a bell in his mind, reminding him that you probably already guessed that, that you already knew, that he was being ridiculous again.
it took all his concentration not to wince.
if you did, you smiled anyway, nodding with him. at least you didn't look uncomfortable, at least you were smiling.
it could be worse, he supposed. but then again, it could be much better.
spencer could not be here at all.
“you’re smart then.” it sounded like a declaration, and spencer almost wanted to ask, but he decided to stay quiet instead.
and then, moments later when you were still looking at him expectedly, he decided that he was being stupid.
he decided to ask something else instead.
“do you go to school?” his voice shook on the words and he was making an effort to avoid eye contact, making an effort not to stare, not to be shocked by your smile.
he was a bit faint.
you laughed and looked down. “no, i’m just working while-” you paused, looked to your phone in your hand. “oh, shit-” you looked back up at him, eyes wide. “sorry." you cleared your throat, flustered now, it seemed. "um, i’m just-" you paused, bending down to pick something up. "-running late.” spencer was vaguely distracted by the color of your eyes.
he shook his head, telling you it was okay without words. trying to smile back, even though he wasn't quite sure that he remembered how, even.
“i’ve, uh, got to go." your fingers were spits of nervous energy, tapping against your leg. spencer was really trying not to meet your eyes, but he was also trying not to stare at your hands.
he cleared his throat, he wasn't sure why.
and when he looked down--idiot--and noticed the shoes about to fall from your hand, the bag slipping off your shoulder, he couldn't help but bend down.
and take the shoes right from your hands.
"i can hold some of your things while you put your shoes on," he offered, holding the shoes out to you as if he hadn't just stolen them right from your hands.
he was seriously, definitely, contemplating running away from there, throwing himself off of anything taller than this building when he noticed your smile, again.
"thank you, spencer." you slipped your bag off, gestured towards him. he was much too fast in placing the shoes in your outstretched hand. "i don't mean to seem like i'm running away from you, i'm not."
you were sitting down again, hastily shoving the shoes onto your feet.
spencer was staring at that in an effort not to freak you out.
but he managed to ask "where do you work?" despite his pounding heart.
your eyes slipped towards him, as if on accident, and spencer thought you might've looked shocked, but then you looked away again. "oh, just a coffee shop a few blocks from here." you nodded, giving him a brief smile while tying your laces, then continued:
"well, it's not really a coffee shop--it's a breakfast place, actually--but no one ever comes in for breakfast. just coffee, mostly."
spencer swallowed. "i like breakfast."
you looked up to him, eyes alight in amusement, laughing.
spencer tried not to feel shocked at the fact that he'd just made you laugh.
"me too," you agreed, finally standing up, and reaching to grab the bag from him. "what's your favorite breakfast food?" you asked, smiling at him appreciatively when he handed it to you.
oh god, spencer hadn't been expecting that.
that's probably why he let slip out "donuts," without even thinking.
and again, for the second time now, it made you laugh.
"me too!" you repeated, smiling wider. "we don't sell any at the diner, but i'd pay our chefs to make me some if i could."
this was surreal, spencer thought.
"i like sprinkles on mine," he offered, having nothing else to say. you were just staring at him and really, what else was he supposed to say?
"you're a man of taste, spencer-" you paused, brow quirking. "i never asked your last name."
"oh," spencer's eyes went wide, and his hand shook with the effort it was taking him not to run out the door. "it's reid."
"spencer reid," you repeated it twice, laughing at something private, saying it as if it delighted you. you were still smiling, still looking at him. "i like that," you finished, smirking in something that spencer couldn't describe.
he didn't have anything else to say, except, oh god-
but then, a door closed somewhere else. a noise interrupted that thought spencer was trying to have, and you were clearing your throat, messing with the bag on your shoulder.
"it was very nice to meet you, spencer reid, and i'd love to hear you talk about science--it gets a bit boring coming from ben all the time." you smiled at him, a polite smile spencer realized he was familiar with now. "but, i do have to go."
spencer thought that he should say something, but it would seem that he had something stuck in his throat. something crawling down his insides, making itself known.
“benjamin!” you called as you began to walk toward the door, eyes darting to spencer as he watched you walk away, smile just the same. “you’ve got a guest!”
and then, you gave spencer one more grin, struggling to carry everything in your hands. struggling to keep your eyes focused, your hands still.
spencer recognized this too.
“don't let him annoy you too much." you said, hand on the doorknob, something that spencer had been thinking about only ten minutes before. "i hope i'll see you again, some time.”
and then you were out the door.
spencer, just stood there.
it was 19 times by the time the door slammed shut. his cheeks were warm.
wow, he thought, you were pretty.

ok after sleeping here are my thoughts on s2: i had fun watching it, but it wasn’t good. for many reasons. let’s start off with the things I liked though:
- anya’s performance. i think she really stole the show. i don’t think the season would have worked at all if she hadn’t been putting those 200% in it
- cinematography 
- fringilla and cahir’s characters actually GETTING character, and good stories. last season they were both just 1 dimensional bad guys on the bad guy side doing bad guy things for the purpose of being bad. this season finally gave us nuance, and especially fringilla was really great (she was also the only one with great hair👁️👄👁️...)
- in general nilfgaard going from being the big big bad to a more nuanced portrayal of the north. i was glad they went with that
- the nivellen story
- there was a fuck ton of exposition in this season to make up for there being nothing in s1 and i think they handled it well. istredd’s scenes with fenn and codringher were fun
- everything jaskier - yennefer related. joey and anya have amazing chemistry, and a very interesting dynamic. (that scene in the last episode when he grasps her arm....i think about that...)
- that fun elf guy in oxenfurt. he was cute and made me smile. rip
ok that’s about it time to move to literally EVERYTHING ELSE:
- the worldbuilding. this season had game of thrones season 7 levels of space travel fuckery where it apparently takes a character half a minute of a riding montage to get from oxenfurt to kaer morhen. why the fuck do the elves even need to use boots to get to cintra when they could just walk five steps to the right and be there. the continent feels tiny. when we see characters only taking what feels like less than a day to get from places a to b (without portals) the world seems small, and fake. 
- the story. no really if you think you can try to explain the story (not the plot, the story) of s2 to me go ahead please i’m begging you. what a convoluted mess
- eskel. it was a stupid idea to kill off such a beloved character, especially how they did it. in the games and books eskel is such an important person in geralt’s life and story. why the fuck would they remove him from the equation. i literally cannot think of the reason why they would get rid of him specifically, and not coën or any of the expendibles, because i wouldn’t even say it served any purpose for anyone’s character -- maybe vesemirs? anyways it’s not like geralt even morns him for more than half an episode
- speaking of geralt, henry’s acting. idk man. i really liked him in s1 but this time around i found him pretty annoying. he seemed mostly just smug and detached
- makeup/hair this season. must i even say anything. everybody looks so fucking bad. i’ve seen better wigs at comic con. they were truly horrendous. geralt’s contacts and flat wig make him look like a deranged bird. the costumes were ok but ffs why does ciri have a full face of make up. why did she have to have 2015 james charles eyebrows. some of these wigs were so bad it’s distracting
- the pacing. this goes back to the whole story/plot thing but the pacing was super off, just jumping between breakneck speed and 20 minutes of doing nothing but exposition. 
- jaskier and geralt’s relationship. what happened to it where did it go. most the chemistry is gone which made me sad because their s1 dynamic was pretty fun. idk i guess they didn’t have the time
- the whores in kaer morhen. this irritated me so much. on one hand: worldbuilding. isn’t this place in the middle of the mountains? you’re telling me eskel brought them all on a 2 week trip up this place? on the other hand: ISN’T KAER MORHEN LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO BE SECRET?? what the absolute fuck. i don’t buy vesemir’s “they’ll have forgotten all by morning” shtick. Not to mention how the fuck can he afford to pay all these whores for multiple days -- he’s a witcher not a lord where is he getting all this money from
- the editing. i feel like they kept cutting chunks out of scenes to hurry things up
- the writing in general was a bit mas y menos scheiße. this also goes for s1 tho. especially ciri’s and geralt’s writing wasn’t great.
- just geralt in general due to everything named above. what did he even do this season. what was he even trying to do. what a mess.
things i have mixed feelings on/ haven’t decided how to feel about:
- ciri this season. she was interesting but i feel like this whole “i am a monster” thing they were setting up in the beginning didn’t really work its way into the later half in a satisfying way, instead the focus being given to her sense of belonging and the resulting ambiguity of it. also again wig and make up man
- the elves. being jewish anytime there’s fictional genocide and persecution of people do to perceived-otherness-despite-being-essentially-the-same thing makes me squint a little, especially with jaskiers whole “they’ll go after the artists next etc” spiel. making them baby killers, with an eye on irl persecution of jewish people in the middle ages and the whole blood libel thing makes me go ://. i’m not saying the elves’ persecution is a metaphor for jewish persecution in the middle ages or anything, i’m just saying it vividly reminded me of it, and it rubbed me the wrong way. idk
- coën and lambert. they were both really fun and good but didn’t get a lot of screen time, which also means not a lot of character development or bonding time with geralt or ciri or anyone. also no backstories. i don’t even think they mentioned that coën isn’t a wolf??? is he supposed to be in this verse???
- triss. what was she doing. what were her goals. what were her intentions. why did they give her that horrid wig.
-dara. dara is my boy, i love him, i screamed when he came on screen. he had a interesting story that mostly just involved him being passive -- which i liked!! -- but i couldn’t ever get a grasp on if he liked ciri or not
- the lack of tissaia. i missed her this season.  her an yen in s1 were my favorite relationship and they only had two scenes in s2
to sum it up: i had fun. it was fun. it also wasn’t good. i’m not gonna stop watching but s2 does not feel as rewatchable as s1. who knows. 
it gets 4 “sheesh”s out of 10 scenes of ciri running

two tiny notes.
request: i’m back~ finished saiki k recently, so could i have one where top student reader has a crush on kaidou but since she sees yumehara get close to him, she believes she has no chance and starts acting weird... ofc, no one notices except her childhood friend saiki! which is why kusu-chin (idk i feel like reader would call him that) helps her w/o her knowing (because “it’s troublesome if y/n acts weird”) even though he’s aware that kaidou already likes her back -- cherry anon
# tags: scenario; friendship & crush culture; fluff; some kind of angst, i guess; mild romance; sfw
includes: female reader ft. kaidou shun & kusuo saiki {saiki k. no psi nan}
author’s note: aaa, hello cherry, i missed you! hope you like it :( 
Tumblr media
You sighed softly, looking at Kaidou who was just solving (or rather trying to solve) a math and quadratic equations problems. Obviously, you wanted to offer your help during the next break, but as soon as the bell announced to all students about lunchtime, Yumehara overtook you and offered the boy to solve the calculations together. You muttered something incomprehensible under your breath and went back to reading your thick, brown book, which you always carried with you to keep your mind occupied with something interesting between classes.
“Eat something. Your mom made your favorite omelettes and steamed vegetables.” Your best friend’s composed voice reached your mind, and you just shrugged without even looking in his direction.
“I don’t feel like it right now, Kusu-chin. I will eat them at home after lessons.” You answered him in your head and then you went back to your crime novel written by your favorite author. Naturally, from time to time your gaze landed on the figure of a blue-haired boy and a girl with flushed cheeks, which made you feel a strange, even stupid heaviness and sadness on your stomach. But you shook your head quickly as you read the next sentence.
Meanwhile, your dearest friend rolled his both eyes, looking at you, then at a young boy slightly shorter than him, whose likeability meter towards Chiyo didn’t exceed even half the full number.
Not that Saiki had any interest in helping you... he just didn’t want to hear you grumble on the way home and your sad voice on the phone call. It’s not like he was worried or anything... Yeah, he just wanted to spend the next few days in peace without worrying that something would snatch him out of his comfort bubble or interrupt him when he will play on the console.
{ ・゚✧ }
The days passed very quietly and you made a decision to slowly step back from your relation with Kaidou; when the boy asked what time it was, you said that you didn’t have a watch with you, even though you were holding the smartphone in your left hand, when the teenager invited you for ramen or to a cafe for your favorite sweets, you excused yourself that you had to help your mother make dinner, and at moments when the red-eyed young man offered to walk you home, you announced that you had to go to grandma, to clean her bathroom or kitchen. Of course, you meant your grandmother, who didn’t even live in Japan... Well.
Kusuo looked at it with a blank expression on his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the fact that the person you liked was reciprocating these feelings, but you considered them as only friendly gestures. The image of Yumehara and smiling Shun kept appearing in your head, making your heart clench painfully and literally bleeding ‘cause that sweet smile wasn’t directed at you, but at another, really cute girl. Your pink-haired friend didn’t like to help others, but he always did everything in his power to make people around him a better life; no matter if it was his grandfather, Amp, Reita or you. All relatives were important to Saiki, and you, as his best female friend, have been practically at the top of this ‘hierarchy’ for years.
Therefore, he swallowed his saliva and counterfeited your pretty handwriting without much problem by writing a small note to Kaidou with the place and time of the meeting. He did the same the other way around, changing his handwriting to that of Shun’s. Then two smol envelopes landed in your school lockers between your books and spare pencils.
It was a very good plan; a plan that couldn’t go wrong. Kusuo even made sure that in the event of an accident, the envelope fell out in front of your shoes so you could pick it up and read its contents. Of course, you went to the meeting place, because firstly, you were curious about what was important, and secondly, it was signed by someone you still cared about damn much, even if you avoided a sixteen-year-old boy like fire.
Your heart was beating so fast and your cheeks looked more ruddy than normal when you saw Kaidou under the cherry tree which was covered with fluffy, white snow.
“Y/N-chan...! Here!”
“Hello, Kaidou-kun.”
The likeability meters next to your heads were equal to one hundred percent.
‘... The hearts at the ends of the notes were enough?’ A high school student with green glasses thought, but then nodded a little. ‘Sometimes I don’t understand the idea of ​​love and all my friends.’
The boy smirked, happy to leave the two of you alone. As the gentleman he was, he didn’t want to disturb your confessions... and he knew perfectly well that you would come to his house shortly after that to tell him about what happened under the big tree. He just had to wait, prepare two cups of hot tea and your favorite snacks. 
Even if your Kusu-chan didn’t show it, he wanted the best for you (and others besties) because you were the most important person for him.

📗?
okay this one is kinda off the wall but recently ive been thinking about a jaypoppy arranged marriage AU. basically the idea is that like, in the clans since the population size is so small it makes sense that they would want to micromanage mating pairs and production of kittens, so in the AU there would be a tradition that it's the elders' job to keep track of who is related to who and hold semi-regular ceremonies where they assign cats into pairs based on their degree of relatedness. (there are a lot of other rules i came up with but that's the gist)
SO in the AU, Jaypaw and Poppypaw are both kind of... the leftovers. They are literally the last pairing to be assigned at this ceremony. And neither of them is very happy with it. Because Jaypaw is 12 and all in his 'I'm so important because of the prophecy, no one else understands how cool and deep I am' phase, and he thinks Poppypaw is incredibly shallow and vapid. And Poppypaw is older and thinks he's incredibly annoying and shrimpy and kind of a loser, and also she's more than a little bit jealous that Honeypaw got paired with Berrypaw, and also feeling very rejected in general because seriously, him?
Anyway I think they would both agree basically instantaneously that They're Not Fucking Doing this, but the thing is that you can't just get out of these pairings by saying you don't like the other person, this is A Duty To Your Clan. So they both agree to do the fake dating thing and pretend to be into it for everyone else's sake while just quietly despising one another in private.
But, over time, they would start to kind of... Warm up to each other? For one thing, it's kind of hard to be in cahoots with somebody without starting to like them a little, even if the only thing you're in cahoots on is one tiny secret. And for another thing, as time passes and Jaypaw starts to mature and get a little less self-centered, he starts to see that Poppypaw actually isn't as stupid and boring as he initially decided she was. And at the same time, as he grows up a bit and gets less annoying, Poppypaw is able to more connect with him and see another side to him.
So by the time of their full name ceremonies.. the mutual pining has begun lol. But the delicious catch is that, you know, the whole reason they like each other at all is because they agreed to privately respect their mutual hatred. And also they're doing the whole faking being in love thing, so every time the other does something that they reasonably should recognize as like, a romantic gesture or advance... They're just like, well that must have been for the fake relationship :/
I still haven't decided on an ending tbh. One option is that eventually they just realize what's going on and get together for real lol. Another, which I kinda like more, is that Honeyfern dies before she and Berrynose have kits like in canon, and the elders decide that since Berrynose is an outsider, his genes are too good to be wasted - so they make the unprecedented move of reassigning pairs so Poppyfrost is with Berrynose and Jayfeather is with someone else (idk who lol). And at this point, finally they would be able to admit their feelings to each other when it's too late. And then it could just kinda end on that bittersweet note, or it could end with them challenging the paired mating system and advocating for more freedom within the Clans.
Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.

↯ note: uhfuyewhf please forgive this random outburst that overcame me, fluffy boyfriend hyunjin is just !!!!. Also my first fic woo hoo !! no particular premise of this blurb idk what this is for but i’m still gonna write it. ⇥ dawn.☀️
Tumblr media
A long, deep sigh.
A cheek pressed against his palm, resting his head against his elbow as he stared off into space. The library was relatively quiet around him, no other sound other than the timely flipping of the page by the two other people sitting in the almost empty, spacious room.
And of course, the sound of you humming the tune that poured through the earphones you were sporting. Hyunjin could almost swear that he would fall asleep from the tune, if it weren’t for the hard wood underneath him.
Hyunjin pouted when he noticed you completely immersed in your sociology 101 textbook. Studying to be a data analyst was hard, and while it was both yours and Hyunjin’s dream job, (instead of focusing on the plethora of books lying on the table) Hyunjin found staring at the love of his life much more interesting than analyzing any sort of data.
Sunlight poured in through the open window. It was still fairly early in the morning, and while Hyunjin hated waking up early, he was more than ready to do so the moment you called him the previous night, begging him to tag along on the pretext that “it would be boring to go alone.”
And the moment you entered the library, you picked out your books and quickly drowned yourself in them, and in less than five minutes, Hyunjin found himself the one who was “bored.”
You felt a poke at the side of your arm, startling you out of your concentration.
“Hey.”
Pulling your earphones off, you smiled at Hyunjin. “Yeah?”
“You said you’d be the one bored but now I’m the one bored.” Hyunjin humphed, folding his arms across his chest. “Remind me why I accompanied you?”
You laughed, gently pinching his cheek. “Because you’re a good boyfriend.”
Being the dramatic llama that he was, Hyunjin rolled his eyes, though the subtle smile on his lips told you otherwise. “Fine finish it soon now.” He pointed before poking your arm again. “Or I’m gonna leave you and get subway for myself.”
You gasped in fake betrayal, clutching your heart as your eyes widened. It was a known fact that Hyunjin was too smitten for you, far too caring and considerate to leave you alone in the library without breakfast. And you loved to tease him about it.
Anyways, the act faltered in two seconds the moment you giggled at him.
“You’re adorable, have I ever told you that?” You mimicked his position as you faced him, admiring how he looked at the moment. Heavily lidded eyes, messy black hair, and the sunlight from behind him almost made him look like he was glowing.
At your words, Hyunjin felt the tiniest blush creep up his cheeks as he shyly admitted. “You tell me every day!”
“Well I’m going to keep telling you that, so…” you shrugged, turning your attention back to your books as hyunjin internally groaned. The library didn’t allow use of phones either, so he couldn’t just start playing around with it to kill time.
Brushing his hair off his forehead, his eyes sparkled when a thought popped into his head, a smug look on his face. Quickly grabbing his cellphone from the back of his pocket., his fingers moved against the screen — not quick enough for the librarian to notice — but at this point, it hardly mattered. The librarian was almost asleep on his table — he must’ve not adjusted to the early hours of his job very well.
When your phone dinged — signifying the arrival of a message — Hyunjin watched intently as you picked up your phone and tapped the screen a couple of times. When you grinned widely, Hyunjin knew his message had the desired affect. In all honesty, that was Hyunjin — always looking for subtle ways to tell you he loved you, and ways to keep you smiling and happy.
You reached over to push your reading classes up your nose before turning to look at Hyunjin’s direction, raising your eyebrow playfully.
Hyunjin:  Guess what I’m wearing?
He had a similar grin on his lips as he silently coaxed you to reply, and so you did just that.
You: What? Your uniform? 🤭
Knowing Hyunjin, you knew that the answer would not be so simple, but nevertheless you curiously waited for the answer.
When the reply came in, the smile on your face turned into a wide, ear-to-ear smile, cheeks almost hurting with how widely you were grinning. You tried desperately trying not to alert anyone of what you were doing, but it was getting harder with how adorable Hyunjin was being.
Hyunjin: No, the smile you gave me. You: usdyuegwydedh 🥺🥺🥺 You: you cheesehead! 😘😤 Hyunjin: But I’m your cheesehead - ;D
Hyunjin, still staring at you was in a similar state. He admitted that watching you laugh and smile was something he could never grow tired of. He treasured that moment, and it always seemed like you lightened up the whole room with just your smile.
“Hey!” you looked at him, books totally forgotten as you stared into his eyes.
“They say the eyes are the mirror to the soul.” Hyunjin said, straightening up his posture as you eyed him confusedly. “You must have one beautiful soul.”
Your jaw dropped open at the sudden explosion of pickup lines coming from your boyfriend, rolling your eyes to the back of your head as you felt yourself grow coy at his compliment.
“Oh gosh, what’s gotten into you.” You whispered, slapping his arm slightly. Hyunjin smiled devilishly when he noticed your beaming face, feeling oddly relaxed — but then again, he was always relaxed when he looked at you.
“ On a scale from 1 to 10 you’re a 9 and I’m the 1 you need. “
You gasped, squealing as you slapped his arm yet again.
“Oh lord, your cheeseball stop being so cute my heart can’t handle this.” You pouted, and Hyunjin bit back the overwhelming desire to squish your cheeks.
He always did everything in his power to make you happy, and it never changed, even after a year of dating. The love between you was pure in every way, and you couldn’t help but feel lucky to have such a caring and lovely angel for a boyfriend.
“Come on, I need to focus now, just half an hour more?” You managed to convince him (only after giving him your traditional puppy eyes which you knew he would never be able to resist), before turning your attention back tot he book.
Twenty minutes passed. Hyunjin had found himself a book to read in the mean time, but he wasn’t the type to be patient. It wasn’t ling before he reached for his phone yet again.
When your phone dinged again, you quickly snapped your attention from where it was fixed on Hyunjin, hiding it under the table as you stealthily read the message.
Hyunjin: Can we go eat now?
You laughed to yourself, brushing hair off your forehead before replying.
You: There’s still 10 minutes left 🤭 Hyunjin: Please I’m hungry 🥺 Hyunjin: pls pls pls pls pls pls pls 🥺
You quickly looked at the watch before sighing, smiling at Hyunjin before shutting your book and stretching your arms out. You’d been there for about two hours, since your college library opened fairly early. As expected, Hyunjin let out a silent squeal of victory, quickly helping you pack up before getting out of his seat, all to eager to get out of the cramped space.
“Remind me to never tag along with you again.” He chided playfully, and like you said before, you knew Hyunjin was too soft to be able to ignore your pleas — and even if he did, you had your secret weapon: puppy eyes. You only giggled and nodded. “yeah, whatever.” Allowing him to intertwine your fingers together as he pulled you out of the building.
Once you were out of the building and walking towards the nearest subway, you decided to go the park (which was incidentally opposite to the subway shop). As you walked in the almost empty park, you munched on your sandwich slowly, whilst Hyunjin had already devoured it all. You figured he didn’t drink his coffee before coming to the library, and you didn’t bother to ask either.
Hyunjin had still not et go of your hand, and every once in a while — out of pure habit — he would squeeze it gently, just as a form of reassurance. It never failed to warm your heart.
The both of you found a clean bench under the cool shade of a tree, enjoying the breeze as you finished your sandwich; while Hyunjin simply looked around the rows of trees and plants that were planted along the edge of the ground.
When Hyunjin caught your gaze on him once again, another thought popped into his head as he smiled yet again. Personally, he had no idea how he was acting so cheesy today, but seeing your reaction did not encourage him to stop.
“Do you have a map?” You boyfriend asked all of a sudden, and you frowned confusedly. Of course, you’d let your guard down from the previous explosion of cheesiness, which only fueled it more.
“Why do you ask?” You murmured.
“Because I keep getting lost i your eyes.”
“Aghhhh,” you groaned, covering your face with your palms as you looked at Hyunjin. “Where do you even get these from?” You pouted at him.
“I don’t know, maybe you bring it out of me?” Hyunjin shrugged.
“Hmph,” You pinched his soft cheek lightly, smiling as you did so.
Next, he grinned, tilting his head to the side as he gazed into your orbs. You sensed another attack coming ahead, but did nothing to stop it, because deep down, you were enjoying this way too much.
“You know at this angle, as the light hits your eyes.” A dizzy smile on his face as he gently fixed his hair, tucking some of the strands behind his ear. “I can see myself and I look great.”
That caused you to close your eyes, erupting into a fit of giggles as your eyes morphed into the softest of crescents.
Hyunjin opened his mouth yet again, but this time, you were quick to stop him.
“Ah, no young man. No more, or I’m gonna combust.” You tucked your own hair behind your ear.
“Nooooo,” He whined, pouting as he gave you the softest look that he could muster. “One more, please? Just one. Please please please please please-”
“okay fine! One more, and then no more, deal?” You looked at him smugly, and he nodded.
“Okay so, kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?”
Hyunjin had chosen that line for a joke, expecting to get yet another slap on his arm, or a shy turn of your head. What he didn’t expect was for you to blush profusely before you leaned in, pressing a soft peck to his lips.
When you pulled away, Hyunjin’s eyes were widened as you stared at each other silently for two seconds, before you snapped your fingers in front of him, pulling him out of his daze.
“You were wrong.” You stated as nonchalantly as possible, shrugging at him as you got up, grabbing your bag as you began walking towards the exit.
“H-hey, wait for me!” Hyunjin cried, not being able to suppress his smile as he ran towards you, immediately entwining your fingers once again. And the rest of the walk was spent just like that, in peaceful silence as you enjoyed each other’s presence in the cool, moist air.
“You’re such a goofball,” You mumbled at him, gaining his attention as you rubbed your thumb against the back of his hand. And before he could even reply with his loving, playful gaze, you completed the statement yourself, eyes twinkling in content.
“But you’re my goofball.”
