ooooo just saw your request ask and I thought I might give it a go^^ So could you please write about c! Tommy, Wilbur and Sapnap (all separate pls!) with a s/o that collects trinkets, shiny stuff, oddities etc, basically a crow in a humans body. I hope you'll have fun writing this and I wish you a good day /nigh! Also stay hydrated <333
AWWW I LOVE THIS IDEA!!
(fun fact about myself, I am, in fact, a crow in a humans body, and I too collect trinkets ^^)
~
c!Tommy x gn! reader
c!wilbur x gn!reader
c!sapnap! x reader
~
warnings: slight spoilers for the lore
~
c!Tommy:
okay okay okay
Tommy will definitely take time out of his day to take you on "treasure hunts"
he loves bringing you to biomes you both have/haven't been to and just scavenging for different things
if your love language (platonic or romantic) is gift giving and sometimes you'd give him things you'd find/treasure most, he'll literally cherish EVERYTHING you give him
even after being moved to Logstedshire (is thats how its spelled?? idk) he'll bring your gifts with him
they keep him going ☹️☹️
he likes to run his fingers over the different textures of the trinkets
but yeah, he finds it very adorable when you find something and you immediately show him like "look what I found!"
HEAR ME OUT 😭❤️
HE'LL TRY HIS HARDEST TO FIND EVEN THE SMALLEST OR SIMPLEST OF TRINKETS THAT HE THINKS YOU'LL LIKE AND HOLD ONTO IT UNTIL HE SEES YOU THEN HE'LL BE LIKE "look, y/n! look what I found!" 😭😭😭
UGH I LOVE C! TOMMY :(
c!Wilbur:
Okay, when he first saw your trinket collection/ first saw you collecting things, he thought it was really cute
like c!Tommy, if you were to gift him different things, he'd hold on to the gifts and cherish them 🥺❤️
Wilbur's ideas of dates include going to the forest and just having a little picnic, then going hand-in-hand searching for the most random things
I feel like he's the kind of person to joke about tripping you, but then instantly become overprotective even if you stumble over your shoes
"hey, you okay? please be more careful, love.."
he loves it when your eyes light up when you see something shiny, its one of the many things he adores about you
(little extra)
I adore Ghostbur, so I'm adding one for him ^^
when he first met you, he instantly fell in love when he noticed you collected things
"oh, you like trinkets? I have something for you then, have some blue!"
c!Sapnap:
okay, I personally feel like sapnap (despite finding your trinket collecting adorable) is more focused on your safety
like, not in a rude way, but just looking out for you
"wait, don't pick up that feather! its not sanitary, you could get sick!"
he'd definitely sanitize your findings after the two of you return home
"hm? oh, I just want to make sure these don't get you sick, babe!"
he's definitely the kind of person to freak out over a scrape, or even if you simply bite your tongue when eating
despite all his overprotectiveness, he loves going out with you and just having the two of you search
he really feels at peace when the two of you just get to search nature for whatever catches your eye
after finding whatever it is you guys find, he loves laying down in the grass beside you under the trees
idk why, he just loves doing that
he loves watching you get so excited over simple things
hope you enjoyed! I loved this suggestion! <3
have a nice day/night! stay hydrated!

Chronotrek: Disco Season 2 Part 4?
Episode 11
mmm body horror. exactly what i like over my mac and cheese :joy:
I really like this kind of intro where there's a bunch of images that you can contextualize differently as the season goes on. it's like a scavenger hunt.
Michael's face journeys are always such a sight to see. Her indignance when she hears that her mom doesn't want her to come down.
lol "Hamlet. Hell, yeah."
Mom's like 'I feel nothing about you because all life is going to die.' Michael's like 'I will feel for both of us.'
Did they have to flashback the "unacceptable risk to the larger mission"? They don't trust us to remember the 'unique turn of phrase' we just heard in the last scene?
As soon as Mom did the UNO Reverse and started talking about how much she was there with Michael, watching, I knew she wasn't going to come back any time (haha) soon.
Episode 12
I feel... I dunno, disappointed? in the direction this went. There was time fuckery and everything... and it just boils down to Evil AI? An Evil AI that was supposedly already killed, but 'not really because I said so'. With a hefty dose of 'nothing you're doing is working because I said so'. Maybe I'm just feeling frustrated like Michael is :joy:
The biological imperative of protecting a child is... idk, I don't like it in pretty much any context. It feels lazy and reductive. Add it to Ash's story, a story I'm already unenthused about, and it only makes me dislike it more. "This child I've never met is my child and I would do literally anything to protect them because they are made of me." Ugh. Like. I think I don't like it because of the assumed elevation of biological parenthood and procreation over everything else, the assumption that bio parents are best parents, that all parents feel this way. The way it's lumped in with 'you might not want kids now, but if you have one, you'll connect and change and feel it later'.
I remember seeing somewhere that God does not exist in Star Trek. But that's at least twice now "God" has been referenced by characters in this show. Did they slip, or did they make the active choice to go against the old standard?
This whole 'capture it in a cage of a new system' thing doesn't feel like how computers work. Or why they're getting under the floor to do things. It feels forced like so much of this arc. Now... Gant being 'infected'? That I saw coming.
I don't know, maybe they just needed to make it a threat that could be seen and interacted with because 1) TV is a visual medium and 2) it might be hard to understand what's happening without it.
I couldn't explain it if I tried. "The crystals cause things to age fast." There, explained it :joy:
Episode 13
Those evacuation corridors were hot. lol I love seeing the way they bring the science to life. Though the folding/unfolding thing would be very.. questionable to me. Lots of stress on the joints.
You know... even though I knew they go to the future (which is why I don't get to watch Disco season 3+ until after I watch everything else), I somehow didn't see this coming?? Like. I don't know why? I assumed it was some accidental thing or something (maybe because I thought there were still several episodes left in this season). Even though again
I knew Disco season 3+ is in the future
I know that the plan was originally to send the data with the suit into the future
lmao Georgiou: simply find a nova and fire an antimatter torpedo into its core. Saru: We'd be responsible for the loss of life through dozens of light years Georgiou: Uh... yeah. Michael: We're not doing that. G: I thought there were no bad ideas. Pike/Admiral: That's a bad one. That's a lie.
Which genius built that? My mom. I had a special mom too. Georgiou: Ugh.
That was like three sentences and it still made me want to cry.
Listen I just want to repeat every line Georgiou has. 'like a galactic rubber band with a martyr complex.'
Oh no, now I am crying at this Sarek, Amanda, Michael scene.
And everyone standing with her :sob: But god leave Ash behind please.
Oh yay! lol ....ugh.
Oh no, all the going away messages :sob: They're just trying to wreck me.
Wait, Spock can't go. He's in the other ones.
So weird that 'parade rest' is the kind of informal salute of respect for Starfleet.
The cage is slowing things down, so Tilly calls for help, but not from Po? Who made the cage? Who already said she's not leaving? And was verified to not be back on her planet yet? Where's she at?
God I'm stressed. I'm almost glad I have to go back to work and can't watch the finale yet.
4 hours later... seriously i think i cried so much i gave myself a headache that is STILL HERE.
Episode 14
"Leland! We were just talking about you. Everybody hates you. Congratulations."
Man... I gotta say I'm kinda surprised that they were surprised that the 31 ships were nano-botted into micro-ships by Control.
At some point the people on Discovery have to realize that they're actually more likely to survive this battle than the folks on Enterprise, right? Like... yeah, they're going into the future and leaving everyone they've ever known behind, but at least they'll be alive.
Going to give my usual 'evasive actions and attack patterns being prescripted is silly' speech... like chess moves being memorized, especially playing against an AI. The only way to win is to be surprising. Anyway.
They're surrounded (but still in planar orientation, like a disc, not a sphere) but they still say all power to forward shields??
Get off my ass! Sir. Get off my ass, sir!
"Starboard shields..." and then they turn 90 degrees and show their whole topside against the enemy like a shield. Wish they'd like... use the terminology they're showing.
This cocoon thing is stressing me out. It's so well designed to explain exactly what's happening, and it isn't confusing like a lot of action scenes can be.
The DOT 7s are adorable.
Shouldn't the two big ships also be moving? Like... they're sitting ducks. Go up or down and move. Space is 3 dimensional.
You're my home. :sob:
Such a cool way to portray going through the time wormhole, with time turning into a static image on a plane of glass, seen from behind with the textured hole around emptiness... In other jumps, it looks like a CD.
Ok as much shit as I give them for making stuff up to make it sound scientific, this fight on the walls and ceiling is fun.
Why are captains so goddamn self-sacrificing? _You don't sacrifice the queen or king without good goddamn reason._
Are they really asking how she's gonna guide them through DURING THE FIGHT?? Shouldn't this have been figured out before?
And why aren't the people working on the torpedo in EV suits just in case they get ripped out into space? I guess it's faster that way.
Why was the effect of that torpedo so much worse than normal ones? Don't they fire those all the time?
Ah, so that's why Spock stays.
Y'all. _People are dying._ Hurry this up. lol
Fuckin Enterprise looks like someone took a bite out of the cookie.
Number One's name and rank is "Number One" :joy:
lol how convenient that "we have sworn to never speak your name with others' to explain why Spock, who is so central to TOS, never mentions a sibling.
He looks so different all cleaned up.
And that's it for Discovery until I get through all 1000 hours of the rest of the entire fucking series of serieses! lmao
looks like I have a couple short treks to get to before we move on to Strange New Worlds.

Ok so I think there’s two questions being asked here: what does it mean to be a cannibal, and are dragons and humans the same species?
If cannibalism is the intentional consumption of one’s own species, I would definitely agree that the answer hinges on people and cultures in-world. If a bunch of people (or just one) agree that all dragons are feral animals, or a bunch of dragons (or just one) agree that humans are lesser/non sentient creatures (or don’t register them as conscious), then it’s not cannibalism to them! The same goes for defining cannibalism as the intentional consumption of a person, same species or not.
SO If someone of either group acknowledged that the other group is people, and then eats one, that’s cannibalism! And if I used this model and saw an old friend eating a body, first I would be shocked because, well, cannibalism. Then if I realized they are feral/not in their right mind, I would still be shocked and upset but I would not blame them or attribute any moral failings.
As for defining cannibalism as consuming one’s own species, intentional or not, that hinges on you! You can decide whether dragons and humans are one species in this world, and what that means, and that will be fact!
I would think that since non-sapient animals can be described as cannibalizing their own species (for example, mouse mothers often cannibalize their first litters when stressed), intention and recognition of same-species isn't really a hinge here.
But you're right that there's really two questions and I think maybe the one that needs answered first is- are dragons humans? And the answer seems really obvious when asked like that, but given the rest of the circumstances... It's sketchy. Cloudy.
Personally, I don't think they are. If you can differentiate two species by a recognizably different genome, then it seems to me they are different species. On top of that there's the behavioral aspect. A dragon in this context does not act like a human. It does not consider itself human, nor does it have any guilt or upset over eating humans, but they also don’t actively hunt them. If they are going to do it, it is scavenging behavior, or consuming someone that has tried to kill them and failed.
Someone asked a very relevant question on the notes, which was "if a human eats a dragon, is that considered cannibalism?" and my immediate thought was no, of course not. This was followed by “well why not, if they have a human form?” and that brought me to.... well, media logic, but maybe some lore logic. Whose lore I don’t know, but consider shape shifters in general. There are shape shifters who begin as humans and take animal/monster forms, and there are the first kind of shape shifters who begin as animals/monsters and take human form (and there are monsters who take animal forms, but idk that that’s relevant, we’ll see). The trick seems to be “what’s the base form?” or possibly the question is “what happens when a shape shifter dies?” In media I have often seen the first kind revert to human form after death, because as a base they are humans who turn into other things. The second kind, however, usually reverts to a monster/animal form after death, proving the opposite; that they are non-human as a base. And they’re usually taking human forms to blend in with humans, to trick them, often.... well, to eat them. And we don’t consider that cannibalism, I don’t think, because those monsters are not humans, even if they have a human form. Maybe monster to animal shifters have a place here after all- a vampire that, say, turns into a bat, is not a bat. It is a vampire, still.
So what happens to a dragon in this ‘verse, when it dies? It reverts to dragon form, even if it was killed in human shape. A human could not eat a dragon that was human shaped (idk, maybe if they were alive still? unclear so let’s not go there because it doesn’t happen), and eating a dragon in dragon shape doesn’t feel like it would be cannibalism. That being said, I think humans would still have a problem with it- because humans, unlike dragons, unlike THESE dragons, do not tend to view eating sapient creatures, regardless of human or non-human status, as okay.
It may also be relevant to note that I don’t think the dragons in this verse would eat another dragon, or kill one if they have a choice (though they will definitely fight one another, to date a dragon has never killed another dragon). They might eat another dragon if they were desperate, but it would be a last resort, whereas most of them would readily scavenge humans. Like they consider them to be People, but not the same people.

Idk if i am looking at this the wrong way, but like, what do you think of the difference between the way they portrayed Choi Myunghee's death and Jang Hanseok's death?
We see that Myunghee was burned alive, and the scene was quite chaotic, with her "dancing" while she was in flames and the zumba music playing in the background.
For Hanseok though, he was tied to a chair with the spear of atonement aimed at his chest. But his actual death, which is the scene at noon with the crow/raven felt almost peaceful?? We could see him shed a tear as he was about to die, and i almost felt sorry for him because the atmosphere was kinda melancholic? Idk if thats the correct term, but it just felt a bit sad compared to Myunghee's death.
Sorry for another long ask haha, i just have a lot going on inside my mind right now ㅠㅠ
"Oh and i forgot if i already wrote this, but in Hanseok's death scene, we can also hear the sad music playing, with the guitar and string!" - 2nd ask
hello!! thank you for sending in an ask!!
for future reference, i do not mind long asks at all!! i love seeing your thoughts and longer the better <33
i personally really loved how vincenzo handled both their deaths, and for me it was one of the best parts of the finale. i loved choi myung hee's death, especially how he cut up her feet and burned her alive. i felt like both their deaths were poetic justice. i loved seeing her beg and change her tone as her fear really creeped in. a key thing is that when she killed before, she would smile at her victim's begging (for example, the hot hunting dog that killed hong yu chan begging for his life and her cruelly laughing). almost every single time she has killed there has been classical/instrumental music and her dancing peacefully after. so the fact that her death was chaotic and messy and kept her "dancing" on her feet was justice for what she did to her victims.
compare this to jang han seok's death and yeah i think you could say it was much more "peaceful" but i feel that it was absolutely perfect for him. his defeat was satisfying because he is being tortured and has a much much more prolonged and painful death than choi myung hee. being burned to death is excuricating but it's shorter than having the spear of atonement driving into you over time. i also loved that vincenzo mentioned how han-seo was critical in han seok's death because he now has to sit with the knowledge that he was killed by something he never saw coming from his brother. he underestimated han seo time and time again, but now he almost made it out if not for his brother. furthermore, there's the moment where vincenzo takes his watch as "his trophy" showing just how defeated he is. vincenzo is giving the death that han seok give to his victims through choking him out like in his middle school days (the atonement spear is ultimately puncturing his lung). i feel like that scene was meant to be showing how pathetic he is now compared to how "godly" he was at the beginning, acting as god and controlling life and death. but now he's literally feed for the crows and the scavengers. i was happy to see that scene more than anything, because it drives in how alone he is and that he's still barely alive and suffering.
(also: there was also a post and greater significance to the crow and i think i saw a post somewhere about it but i cant find it.)
also kudos to both kim yeo jin and taecyeon, my god they REALLY killed it in this episode especially. there was an interview with kim yeo jin that reallllly nailed what choi myung hee was as a character and why she is one of my favorite female villains in kdrama. like i hate her (as in choi myung hee not kim yeo jin lol, she's completely the opposite from her character, very politically active) guts but i love her character so much. she is not attached to any male character and her motivations aren't connected to some other male character like in many kdrama female villains. she is evil for herself, she is greedy for herself and i believe that it is her that makes han seok worse, not the other way around. and taecyeon, my god. i've really loved him since bring it on, ghost and i believe he is one of the best idol actors i have seen. like the fact that he's a rapper for 2PM but also turns around and acts so so so well is astounding to me. that final scene and this whole show, we've seen him play the cute, playful intern with an sinister undercurrent and we can see him switch from cute to evil in a couple seconds, and his expressions are immaculate. overall, both of them killed it.
so yeah honestly, in the end i really think both deaths were perfect for and i felt like that last scene was meant to really show how alone and pathetic jang han seok really is and how far he fell in his journey to be god.

Fly High
Pairing: Bryce Lahela x F!MC (Casey Valentine) 
Characters: Bryce Lahela, Casey Valentine and Teresa Martinez. 
Summary: The small moments with Mr.s Martinez were playing in their mind a year after the inevitable happens. 
TW: death. 
A/N: hi! I am sorta-back in the writing game? This idea has been living in my mind as OPH is coming. Its somewhat a tribute to Mrs. Martinez, and with a small touch of backstory between Bryce and Casey. I’m so sorry for not writing as much as I did before, uni is almost coming to an end for the 2nd semester which i am quite excited for. But, this story is dear to my heart. Idk why I love to write death, as i somewhat resonates it with life, but...this really is something I am very proud of. I like to dedicate this to those who wants to catch their dreams but, they couldn’t. Mrs. Martinez really gave us good advice, and...I’d like for it to stay in our minds. Also, I’m dedicating this to those who have leave a mark in my life. Its something that still blows me away everyday. Thank you, and enjoy! <3 
MY MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
"I would take a 99% chance of dying over spending the next ten years in this hospital. To have even a 1% chance of exploring the world... of finally standing on the steps of Sacre-Coeur... I would give everything."—Mrs. Martinez.
---------
365 days ago. 
“Teresa Martinez were found dead at her hotel room in Buenos Aires.” was the topic in the hospital that day. The news of Mr.s Martinez leave the hospital devastated, as the world seems to stop for Casey. 
It doesn’t feel real. It’s not real, she is living her life happily in Paris...visiting the Sacre-Coeur. She can’t be...  
The thoughts were interrupted by the sound of ambulance coming in, a trauma case distracting her thoughts. She quickly joined in the other interns in the scene, but her mind falls onto Mr.s Martinez; the advice she left. A wisdom, as her passing is similar to a shooting star finally burns out. A light that has to be left behind. The days went by quicker, a trial, law-suit occurs in a blink of an eye. 
---------
PRESENT DAY 
It was a day of remembrance today, as Bryce and Casey make their way to the hospital in a slow pace. It was an emotional day for all of them, as all their memories were playing. All the laughter and joy, it was one of her favorite things about her. Her cheery persona was the heart of Edenbrook, and without her; a light has been burn, but a star has obtain someone special to keep on shining them from a far. 
Bryce was awfully quiet as well, as they walked down the road after spending their night together. Words were unspoken the night before, as the comfort was worth more than a sentence, a word and even a rhyme. 
Casey found herself to a stop, at the entrance. A distance away, trying to calmed herself down. He broke the silence by placing his hand on her cheek, caressing it with a small smile on his face.
‘You cam do this okay, we are all here for you.’ He said before pulling her into a kiss, as they melt into an embrace before going their separate ways. He stops in the mid of the hallway, his eyes fall onto her as they were met with a pair of emeralds that is already looking at him. 
They both resume their day, as the memories followed them throughout the hour. A reminder that she had left a mark to everyone in Edenbrook including one Casey Valentine and Bryce Lahela. 
----------
C A S E Y
The voices around her fades, as she sat on the empty bench, letting out a sigh as she was dismissed by Dr. Mirani upon her mistake today in the patient room. She remembers the embarrassment as the other interns let out a chuckle upon her mistake, moments before she was chewed. It was her second week as an intern, and she has made mistakes; what happened to her? 
Her thoughts were interrupted by someone occupying a seat the opposite of her. It was Mrs Martinez letting out a breath with her I.V stand on her side, looking at her with concern. She smiled upon her arrival as she remembers the events on their first meet which involves herself being lost in the hospital during her first day with Elijah. 
Weeks later, she became close to her as she learns upon her love towards travelling, visiting new places around the world; from the Bright Lights of Paris to the city of Madrid. And, the thought of the postcards hanging in her room bring joy to her, as a reminder of her own dream to be a doctor. 
“Casey dear, what’s with the long face?” She spoke, as Casey lets out a sigh.
“I just, I messed up again. It’s been a month, and I tend to get distracted with everything; friendships, the competition, dreading patients, and everything feels too overwhelming.” She burried her face in her hands, trying to hide her expression from the woman in front of her.
After a few moments of silence, she opened her eyes once more to be met with a concerned looking Mr.s Martinez. 
“Dear, you are not human if you never messed up. If I ever got a dollar for every time I took a wrong turn in life, I believe I can afford a mansion in the city of Stars.” 
Casey lets out a chuckle upon the mention of it, as the smile slowly appear on her face. 
“I think I’d be able to pay up my student loans that way.” 
There was a ripple of laughter between them, lighten up the mood releasing a knot on her shoulders that has been there for the day. 
“Indeed, but I saw you work that day; and I believe you are going places dear. You are unique, and the world is not ready to see the light in you dim. For the last decades of living, I made a huge mistake of not pursuing my dreams; and I don’t want to see you give up this dream Casey.” Her voice is demanding yet calm giving her a sense of hope. 
They were interrupted by Danny who is in the midst of a scavenger hunt for one Mr.s Martinez who apparently has left her room once again.
“There you are Mr.s Martinez, its time for your medicine once again.” Danny said as he smiles upon their interaction.
“I guess my time is up. I had fun chatting with you dear, I’ll see you soon.” Mr.s Martinez left with Danny leaving her alone with the wild thoughts once again. 
But, this moment; she received a sense of hope. Maybe it will be okay after all.

B R Y C E
The first day as a surgical intern at Edenbrook. He was finally a surgeon, all those years of bartending was worth it. His confidence somewhat pushed people away, as he shrugs the feeling off. He came here to be the best, and not to find friends. 
“Welcome interns. Today is the start of your careers as a surgical intern, and I am ecstatic for what all of you could bring to the table.” the Dr. Harper Emery exclaims happily, as she eyed the crowd of surgeons.
There was a round of applause, as the energy in the room was accumulated. 
“I will introduce you to Dr. Tanaka who is one of your surgical residents. He will be guiding you through this journey. Some of you will fall, quit, but some of you will rise and it will be worth it in the end.” 
After the introduction was done, the crowd was dismissed as the first rounds of the day begun for the surgical interns. 
His heart was filled with excitement, a new beginning. A new slate, and a new chance to not become known. That is the whole reason from the beginning. He is Bryce Lahela, a surgeon. Nothing else more. 
As the days go by, he has been able to witness the procedures that were taught during his years at medical school. His gaze was equivalent to one who looks at their favorite food which is filled with awed and joy. As someone who would fixed up the problems at home, surgery made him feel fulfill once again. It is giving him a purpose even after everything that has happened. 
“Dr Lahela, earth to Dr. Lahela.” A voice called for him brought him back from his subconscious. 
“Yes, I’m here.” He replied as the other interns were found laughing silently at the back.
“What is the first step to perform a  Laparoscopic appendectomy?’ Dr. Tanaka questioned him with Dr. Emery on his side observing. All of the eyes fall on him.
It was his moment to show that he is worth it today, and everyday for the rest of his life.
We will access the appendix through a few small incisions in the abdomen as a cannula which is a small, narrow tube  will then be inserted. It is used to inflate the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas which allows us to see the appendix more clearly...” He paused, as he took a deep breath before resuming his explanation. 
“Once the abdomen is inflated,  a laparoscope will be inserted through the incision. It is a long, thin tube with a high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera at the front which will display the images on a screen, allowing us to see inside of the abdomen and guide the instruments. When the appendix is found, it will be tied off with stiches and removed. The small incisions are then cleaned, closed, and dressed.” His final words fall as somehow equivalent to a mic-drop earning both smiles from the two doctors, as they resumed with rounds for the day. 
He took a minute to be proud of himself, as it is a reminder that he is here to stay. 
After rounds was over, he is officially a surgeon. He was assigned under Dr. Tanaka as he was his resident along with a few other interns. It was really happening, the suprised dream he had that was meant to be an escape; has came true today.
“Dr. Lahela, I would like you to scrub in with me to perform your very first appendectomy in the O.R” Dr. Tanaka said, as his smile was wide filled with joy which was taken away by the growling voices of the other interns behind him. 
He ignored them, as he started to scrub in. The looked that was dedicated to him was somewhat a deja vu moment, a moment where he was known as the son of a criminal. The hatred eyes that is coming to him, attacking him slowly as it was disguised by the confident exterior. 
He shake the thoughts away, getting himself prep in the O.R for his first surgery, but some demons never left as he tried his best. 
After they were dismissed, he took a turn to the cafeteria as a distraction. It wasn’t the best, maybe he hoped it would be like the movies; he would be the protagonist, the hero. Instead, it was the joker. 
He decides upon a snicker bar from one of the vending machines, as the line piled up. He took a seat at the edge of the room, with his pager present on the table. A breath was taken, calming the rage and expectations in him. 
The occupied thoughts were interrupter by a woman, looking at her once again with concern. 
“You should try this, it’s the cafeteria signature.” The voice was soft, comforting as she passed a pudding cup his way. Chocolate to be specific. 
“It’s just a pudding cup, mr.s” He chuckled upon the small cup, as Mr.s Martinez joined him on the empty seats. 
“It’s more than a pudding cup, it’s the cure of sadness actually.” She gestures upon him, as realization hits him.
“I didn’t hide it hard enough didn’t I?” 
She just shake his head, as he held the pudding cup in his hands. 
“You must be one of the new interns aren’t you, the outfit reminds me of a young Harper Emery during her own residency.” She gestures towards his green scrubs. 
“She was the legend, and you have seen her work here before??” His eyes shine upon the name.
“Son, I have been in this hospital for the last decade. I have known all the residents for some times now, there was a lot a person can go through for the last 10 years.” She stated as Bryce was filled with awe. 
“So, tell me what’s with the long face; I thought it was supposed to be an exciting start.”  
“I woke up today feeling on top of the world, but coming here feels like the past haunting me once again. The eyes, the look, and...it reminds me of something I always wanted to forget.” He lets out a small sigh upon the statement, it wasn’t the whole truth, but it feels go to have someone to listen. 
“The past, its always going to be there to haunt us. Sometimes, history repeats itself to prove how strong you are. You have been through a lot and you survived, you are a doctor today dear. This chance is bigger than any doubt, any pain, any memory that you have been through. I have seen the doctors here grow, some had left to pursue something easier, some even crack under the pressure, but some also thrive in excellence. Those people have fought to survive, and that’s what life is about dear. Fighting to survive, I am fighting too. It felt like a long journey for the past 10 years, but some adventures are worth to take to get to the final destination.” She ends the speech with a smile, as she left him with his thoughts once again. 
It feels like a fever-dream, but it is true. Maybe, he will make it after all with a pack of chocolate pudding by his side. 
Suddenly, his pager starts to beep. A new chance to start again, a new hope was in-stored. He took a final bite before leaving the room, feeling okay for the first time that day. 
----------
PRESENT DAY 
The day passes by quickly, as the reminders and memories kept on replaying in their minds. A sign from her, a message possibly, a lingering gift from the beyond. 
Casey met up with Bryce at the entrance, they have plans that evening. Both of them are already dressed in black which replaces the scrubs from the day; Luis invited them that day to pay their respects for Mrs. Martinez. The whole gang followed, as it is better to face the inevitable together- making it less scarier. 
The evening was peaceful, it was beautiful even. The leaves started to fall, its a start of a new season; some would say a new chapter. They met with Luis to pay their respects to the woman who had changed all of their lives, as they changed hers even for a moment. 
They paid their respects together, as Casey lets out of her silent wishes for Mrs. Martinez. It took a few moments before she was met with his comforting gaze once more, as she nods in completion.  Their reunion with Luis was a pleasant one, as he thanked them once more; despite everything. It echo’s in her mind, word-by-word. 
‘You give my mom her happiness, the one thing I couldn’t. I will never thank you enough for the little miracle that had happened. I was pissed when I found out, but...you manage to give her the signature Martinez’s smile once more. Thank you.’
Luis excused himself from the group, as they were pulled into a group hug. Mrs. Martinez gave each and everyone of them a purpose. Something that she couldn’t see before. 
After they bid their farewell,  Bryce and Casey walked hand-in-hand making their way back home as they talked about life, memories, and even happiness. It was a beautiful ending for their day, as the sunset was their backdrop, it was what life is all about. 
She finally started to live life, as he continues to pursue his dream. Maybe even found himself a new dream as well. 
----------
‘Life to one Teresa Martinez ; it was an unforgettable journey. She believed in the impossible, she took a risk that wasn’t mean to be taken by any other. She trusted me, and that was everything. But, the news - it was a tragedy. Death is a tragedy, as life was taken away from us. But, Teresa Martinez’s death reminds us of the dreams that we wanted to catch. The dreams that were left behind, the dreams that were abandoned in the dust. It was a dream that is worth following for, even if it ends upon your death bed. She believed in me during my dark times, and the reminder of one Teresa Martinez, is something we can’t turn back from. But, the advices and love she has left behind is a reminder that those who are gone...will always be with us, we can’t see them, but there are always there guiding us, cheering us on even after they have left us behind. Teresa Martinez lived a good life, and she will never be forgotten as she is flying high at somewhere better.’  
THE END.

So I’m kind of new to the fandom. I’ve been casually watching the show for a couple years now but only recently got into the fandom side. And I have to say, never in my life have I seen so much drama and toxicity in one place. I’m ashamed to admit that I’m enjoying the drama though lol.
Before I start though, I personally believe you can make anyone sound problematic if you try hard enough, we’ve all done and said stupid things, but when you decide to become famous you should be ready to be held accountable for the smallest things, not saying it’s right. It’s just how things are unfortunately.
So far I’ve decided that I just don’t like Jared and Danneel,did you know she used the same bullying tactics that Jared has used? I saw a screenshot from her story where she called someone out for... being mean to her? I can only hope the poor girl is ok after her dms were most likely flooded with angry stans. And she just seems so tacky, it’s really obvious if you take a look at her tweets from a decade ago, this woman does not have the potential or capacity to be any kind of famous.And honestly I think one of your anons were right about J2 being trumpies, especially Jared, I was looking for dirt on him and the guy said in a tweet that cracker is a slur? So far everyone I’ve met who had those kind of ideologies turned out to be somewhat of a racist so idk. As for Jensen, he seems to be a bit smarter in the sense that he knows when to stay quiet, but I think he’s probably the same as Jared. I think I remember him making a joke right alongside Jared when he was making that chloroform rape joke. And I think he said the N-word in his last panel with Jared? I think it was a fan’s name. I’ve been told he got the name right the first time and then practically said the N-word the second time around. I do think J2 are closet republicans who are trying to seem progressive because that’s what sells these days.
And Gen, she just seems so... uninteresting? Like I have no desire to know anything about her, unlike the others. But your blog helped out a bit with that. I still think she’s boring and uninteresting lol. I honestly think she should’ve just tried to get a role without Jared’s help. It probably would’ve been real hard, but earning a role through nepotism will not help her career if she decides to ever have one again. But then again, I remember thinking her acting paled in comparison to Katie Cassidy’s, who also played the character Ruby the season before Gen came along. So good luck to her I guess lmao.
So far the only one I’m unsure about is Misha? I mean you’ve got the hardcore Jared stans and the hardcore Misha stans, from what I’ve seen, both sides are extremely biased, and frankly, they all look like idiots from the outside, and they both have completely different beliefs. But you seem to be a bit more level headed, so I thought I’d ask you,tell me all the dirt. What are some of the shitty things he’s done? And I’m sorry this got so long.
The Supernatural fandom is one of the worst fandoms to be in. One of the big reasons that I stopped watching the show was because of the fans, I’ll be honest. But yeah, it is kinda fun to watch the drama, as long as you’re at a distance and safe! 
I absolutely agree that anyone can be problematic. Hell, if I became famous and people found my old tweets or Facebook posts, even Tumblr posts, I’d probably be “cancelled” or called out. I’m not a terrible person, but we’ve all been young and dumb and we’ve all been embarrassing, that’s just part of life. 
Danneel has absolutely been a bitch, there’s really no nice way of saying it. Fans have had horrible experiences with her in real life too. I think if she was more active on social media again, she’s still be showing her true colors, but she’s not active really.  I do remember Jared’s “cracker” controversy and like....I try not to be political, but really dude? I’m white and I don’t consider cracker to be racist or a slur. It’s ridiculous to me? I’m no History major, but I don’t recall people using cracker to describe white people who were considered “lower than” others. 
Jensen is overall a lot smarter than Jared, but he has made mistakes still. The difference is that Jensen apologizes, he holds himself accountable, and he changes his behavior to make sure that he doesn’t make those mistakes again. No one is perfect, but at least Jensen can own up, take responsibility and change. Jared....well we know Jared.
Gen is....well you said you’ve seen my blog, and there are other “antis” here who can shed even more light. She’s uninteresting but thinks she’s the bee’s knees. 
Don’t be sorry about the message getting long! I’m famous for being long-winded, so you’re among friends! 
Misha is......Misha. His fans are absolutely insane (I know there are some normal ones) so any sort of negative backlash against him is usually buried. I’ve made a few posts about him and why I stopped really being a fan of his, but I will try to summarize! 
I started getting kind of turned off to him around the 2016 election because he was bombarding social media with politics and I just wasn’t there for it. A lot of fans came after me for that but that’s their prerogative. I actually started seeing some anti posts on here and went down a rabbit hole of things that I’d looked past or didn’t know about that all mounted up. Some of those things are; (I don’t have links for everything because the one blog that had compiled everything together isn’t active anymore, but someone might have screenshots!) Also in no particular order!
Misha admitting to leering at kids at a playground while preparing for his role in Karla. 
Having his young female fanbase send him pictures of themselves only wearing cheese bikinis or kale swimsuits, etc. for GISHWHES. I know some people think “it’s just a goofy scavenger hunt” but if it wasn’t Misha Collins, would you want your barely legal sister sending pictures of her only wearing cheese to a 40 something year old man? 
His constant blatant disrespect for Jensen and his aversion to Destiel, his baiting of the fans and complete abandonment of Jensen when he gets the backlash. 
He baits the Destiel fans to the point of them making Jensen uncomfortable, then when Jensen puts his foot down, the fans attack him harshly. Where was Misha for that? Silent. Even though he was the one who eggs everyone on. 
Being rude, sexual, and otherwise inappropriate in front of children at conventions. I know fans will say “it’s not his responsibility to monitor kids!” but the fact that he continues to act like that while knowing there are kids in the audience is weird. I wouldn’t be making sexual jokes or being lewd in front of kids, that’s gross. 
His whole “charity” act that is really just him profiting from his “kindness” acts and his GISHWHES hunts. Pretty charitable of him. 
The fact that he uses Stands to push baiting merchandise onto fans with no regard to how Jensen feels, just to make a buck. (In addition to that, he doesn’t reign in the Stands staff who are horrible to fans and customers.)
I’m sure that there’s more, but that’s all I can think of at the moment! Hopefully that sheds some light! I try not to be too biased either way, but with some of the things it’s hard not to.

Let's say Perry is allowed to reveal his secret identity now that Doof has given up being evil. As we all know, the last time he revealed his was an agent to the boys, they were all in an insanely dangerous situation and it was too much to take in at once. How does Perry do it this time? He sets up a "scavenger hunt" for the family. One by one, he leaves clues for the kids to find and pick up on, like his human-like expressions, his har, his lair entrances, the pamphlets, the 2D slideshow, etc.
OOH NOW THAT IS AN IDEA 👀 if I wasn't already writing a fic that's on a deadline I would totally write this as an actual fic right now like I'm not even joking (but since I don't have time to write a whole new fic atm I'm gonna do that summarizing-my-ideas-in-seven-million-incoherent-paragraphs thing I do way too often and then maybe write a fic later (unless someone else wants to write it *wink wink nudge nudge*))
First of all, I think it's worth noting that the reason Perry can't reveal his identity is that it would put his family in danger and OWCA's insurance wouldn't cover it if they got hurt, so for Perry to be allowed to reveal his identity, he'd probably have to leave OWCA entirely. Given his reaction to being replaced by Peter the Panda in It's About Time, I can absolutely see him deciding that if he's not thwarting Heinz, he doesn't want to work for OWCA anymore. If he was willing to hang up his hat all the way back in season one, by the end of the summer, there's definitely been enough development in their relationship that he'd probably consider his job entirely Heinz-centric and not want it any other way (does this make sense idk what are words)
That's important for three reasons. One: it's just cute that he likes Heinz so much. Two: it means he probably won't be sneaking away as much during the day (though I'd assume he does still visit Heinz every few days). Three: it's a great opportunity to plug my fic about Perry retiring from OWCA and revealing his identity to his family (but it's via kinda a family meeting and Carl's there bc Carl's Best Boi™ which I'd thought was cute until I saw this idea and now I think this one's cuter lol)
Now, onto the show! or, you know, the long rant. same thing.
I think he'd probably start with subtle facial expressions. Maybe Ferb would give him some belly rubs and he'd smile a little, or Candace would tell at him and he'd glare at her — enough that they'd definitely notice, but not necessarily enough that they'd know they saw it. And it would be entirely situational, too — I don't think he'd acknowledge words yet; he'd acknowledge actions and tone of voice, but that's about it.
And then after a couple days, when he knew Phineas and Ferb (and maybe Candace; I'm not sure when she's pick up on it) were keeping an eye on him, he'd make it a little more obvious. He'd give slightly bigger smiles or more aggressive glares, so the kids wouldn't just think it was them picking up on more of his body language now that he's home now — they'd have to realize it's a genuine change at this point.
And maybe that's around when he starts reacting to words. Linda would ask if Perry's been fed yet, and Perry immediately runs to his food bowl (whether he's been fed or not; he would gladly accept an extra meal). Or Candace makes a sarcastic remarks, and Perry growls at her. Things that he'd obviously have to understand the words for because there's no obvious tone of voice for an ordinary pet to pick up.
And when everyone's thoroughly confused (not suspicious yet, but confused) he moves on to the hat. He'll be sitting out in the yard with the boys over the weekend while they're trying to think of an invention for the day, and when they both look away for a split second, he slips his fedora on and pretends nothing happened. The boys definitely wouldn't take it from him — they saw him on the chimney with a pair of binoculars once and shrugged it off — but they'd get a good laugh out of it.
And then they're hanging out in the bedroom and the boys look away and Perry puts his hat on again, and this time it's still funny, but it's weird. Where does this fedora keep coming from? He didn't have it a second ago. It definitely wasn't lying around the room. It just appeared on his head. And then the next evening during dinner, it happens again. Perry has no hat, he walks under the table, and walks out the other side with a fedora on. Ferb points it out, and Perry just smiles.
I feel like he'd have to go a little further before showing them the lair. Maybe he starts "standing on his hind legs," but with his butt on the ground so he's still technically sitting but more upright than usual. Maybe he uses his hands more, picking things up or hitting things around. Maybe Phineas is about to do his homework and realizes he doesn't have a pencil, and Perry throws one at him and then immediately drops to all fours, but purposely does it slow enough that Phineas and Ferb notice that he did it. 
I'm gonna kinda switch the order up on you here. A week or so into this, Perry starts walking away. Perry never walks away. He's always either there or he's not; they never see where he's going. So Phineas and Ferb follow him, and they see him take the tunnel in the side of the house down to his lair. Now, Perry has absolutely no idea whether he should expect them to follow him, but he's hopeful. And, sure enough, they do, only to realize it's yet another entrance to the spy lair that Ferb built over the summer — except this time, Ferb finally gets to say that he didn't build it. They both look at Perry like they're expecting him to come out and say something, but he just starts walking up the stairs to leave (which admittedly is a pain in the ass but it's not like he can take the hovercar)
And maybe that night, Perry decides to take it a little further. He waits until the kids are asleep and then hops off the bed and just stands there, waiting for someone to wake up. And it takes a while -- long enough that Perry’s starting to debate just giving up and going back to sleep -- but then Ferb opens his eyes just a little... and then sits up and rubs his eyes because there is no way he’s seeing that. And this time, because it’s dark and it’s late and Ferb’s tired, Perry just stays standing there and looking at him, and, because he’s feeling particularly daring, he waves. Ferb just stares at him for a solid 30 more seconds, so Perry gives him an awkward smile. Without taking his eyes off the platypus, Ferb stands up, walks over to Phineas’s bed, and wakes him up. Phineas is just like ??? and Ferb’s like, “Do you see this, too?” and Phineas looks over and Perry just walks over to the bed (on his hind legs), hops up, and curls up next to him like nothing happened. And, like, what do you do in that situation, right? So Ferb just goes back to bed, and Phineas closes his eyes again, and they both go back to sleep.
And in the morning, the first thing Phineas and Ferb do when they wake up is look at Perry, who’s now snuggled up on Ferb’s bed (because his bed-switching isn’t going to change just because he’s slowly giving up his cover). Perry doesn’t do anything at first, so the boys look at each other and Phineas is like, “Last night, did he...?” and Ferb just nods and they both look back at Perry who just gives them that small smile that you’re never really sure if you see.
And I wanna get Candace in on the action so let’s say this time when Perry walks away, it’s right after the boys’ Sunday invention, and Candace is all annoyed that she couldn’t bust them and Perry looks up at her and then walks away, and usually she wouldn’t care but she’s bored and annoyed and what can it hurt, you know? And Perry leads her to the staircase and picks up the handle to open it in his mouth and then drops it to let Candace get at it, so she opens it and sees the staircase and immediately runs back to the house like “MOM THE BOYS BUILT AN UNDERGROUND STAIRCASE IN THE BACKYARD” and Phineas and Ferb are like “No we didn’t?” so they follow her out there and Perry’s still standing there and Phineas wonder aloud if it leads to the same spy base as the tree and the house and Candace is like ?!?!?! 
And Perry hops on the railing and slide down the stairs (because he is not climbing down all of them) and the kids have to follow on foot because they would absolutely not fit on the platysized railing. That gives Perry extra time to get set up, so when they get to the lair (again), Perry’s standing on his hind legs, wearing his fedora, and using his computer. 
I feel like Candace would be the one to ask what’s going on because a) she hadn’t been paying as much attention as the boys, b) she didn’t see Perry standing the night before, and c) she hadn’t seen the lair before. And Perry just walks over and hands them each the “So You’ve Discovered Your Pet Is A Secret Agent” pamphlet and they’re just like 0_0 and as they’re flipping through it Perry goes back to working on his computer.
There has to be some sort of conversation here, but at this point, they’ve been seeing so many clues that I don’t think they’re too surprised, which was the whole goal -- they were never supposed to figure it out, but they were supposed to have some idea that he was more than what meets the eye. So let’s say the first question is from Phineas, who asks if Perry can talk, and Perry shakes his head. So Candace asks, just to double check, that he can understand them, and Perry nods. So then she asks if he’s always been able to, and he nods again. And Phineas asks why he’s never told them, and that’s when the computer comes in.
Perry opens the folder full of second dimension pics and he flips through them slowly so the kids can see them, and at that point there are way too many questions for him to keep up with so he doesn’t bother. And eventually they’re done looking at pictures, and Phineas asks when that was and why they don’t remember it, so Perry takes his pamphlet and circles the line about host families and memory erasing and relocating and then he hands it back, and Phineas reads the line out loud so Ferb and Candace can hear, too. Ferb’s the one to connect the dots and realize that the reason they don’t remember those pictures is that they had their memories erased, which Perry confirms, and Phineas asks why he’s telling them now if they’re either going to have their memories erased or lose him (and then proceeds to get very nervous about losing him) and Perry takes the pamphlet back again and adds a little carrot in the title between “your pet” and “a secret agent” and writes “used to be” and they realize that means they get to keep him as a pet and know everything and it’s a happy reunion and nothing like the second dimension and everyone lives happily ever after! 
... that was the least coherent thing i’ve ever written in my life

When Darkness Emerges- Avery’s Confession (Part 1)(M!Avery x MC)
So I decided to write Avery’s confession myself, because why not? This will be a series of fics, to which this is the first part.
This fic was inspired by this ask, sent by @aloehasrose:
Tumblr media
This fic is dedicated to my fellow Avery stans: @a-i-n-a-a-s-h @mysticmiraculer @flowerpowell @unicornfatty @aloehasrose @itsbrindleybinch @kingliamsbish @jlpplays1 and @lady-kato !
Tagging also @mariaoz and @desiree-0816 , my wonderful friends! ❤
Pairing: M!Avery x MC (Dawn)
Summary: Avery decides to take Dawn on a little scavenger hunt. This one, however, is a bit different than what she will expect...
Unedited.
Note: Idk if it's just me but for some reason my phonr doesn't show the gaps I put, but the computer does. So for easier reading I suggest you read this from the computer. ^-^
---------
Dear Dawn,
I've noticed you've been a bit more bored lately, so I have a little scavenger hunt prepared for you.
Meet me outside the building where we had our first real kiss. You know the one.
-Avery "Freaking" Wilshere
Dawn smiled at the note Avery left in her trailer. It was so like him to tease her for that moment when they first met. Looking back at it now, she made a complete fool of herself. Seriously, if she could go back in time and make it un-embarrassing, she would.
As per Avery's instructions, Dawn met him at the entrance to his New York mansion. He was dressed in his usual pink shirt, the same mischievous smile on his face. Once she stood beside him, Avery took her hand and led him to his Audi. Dawn groaned, but Avery didn't give in. He pulled her till they were standing in front of his convertible, staring at each other.
"Another one?" Dawn asked with mock exasperation. Her eyes sparked with her familiar enthusiasm, waiting for the next adventure Avery would take her on.
"You don't seem that disappointed." He observed.
"But what about the scavenger hunt?"
Avery cupped her cheek. "This is the first step, love. Once you pass this, you'll get the clue to the second one."
Dawn's grin grew. "Intriguing."
Avery prssed a quick kiss to her forehead before walking over to the other side of the car. "Let's go."
They drove past the hundreds of the skyscrapers, into more rural territories. With music in their ears, time passed much faster than usual. Dawn found herself belting out to songs, accompanied by Avery's melodious voice. They truly were a power couple, and the music industry better beware!
"We're almost there." Avery declared after too short a time.
The nerves and exhilaration immediately returned. Dawn's heart beat at the pace of the pounding music and her hands once more became sweaty. She looked out the window, admiring the green fields that were now surrounding them. A place of solitude, of quiet, was the perfect remedy for her stressful life. She wasn't dreading this, but rather looking forward to Avery's surprise. What was he going to show her?
They parked at a very remote area. Dawn scanned her surroundings as if she was a detective in a very serious mystery. Where was this place? What did this bare hill have that was so special?
Avery gently took hold of her hand. Dawn breathed in relief when she realized her palms weren't as sweaty now. The sound of rushing water reminded her of all those meditation classes she took years ago and the colorful flowers gave her hope and strength. Yes, they were up high. And sure, there was no guarantee no one was pushed off this cliff, but... positive thoughts?
She glanced at Avery, and when his eyes met hers her worry deflated. She released a shaky breath and let out all her doubt. Why was she so nervous? Avery was here, beside her, and he would always be there for her. Because he was hers, and she was his.
Huh. It was still strange to think of them like that.
"This way." Avery pulled her along, his warmth soothing all her fears. Yes, she was still scared of falling to her death, but she needed to remember. Everything. Was. Okay. It will be okay.
But her mind rebelled against her very sound logic. She looked at the ledge and imagined falling to her death. It would be painful and awfully embarrassing, but she already had a bad fall at the Vinyl awards. This couldn't be that much worse, right?
She really needed to stop thinking. This was not helping one bit.
"Um... where are you taking us?" Dawn's voice wobbled. She tried not to think about this, but her boyfriend was taking her closer to the ledge. And she wasn't ready to test for herself how painful this fall would be.
Avery's eyes met hers. They twinkled in the late-morning sun, shining him in a way Dawn never experienced before. "Somewhere secret. You'll love it."
For a moment Dawn forgot to breathe, before she remembered that it wouldn't be smart to die from her boyfriend's beauty. So, reluctantly, she lowered her gaze. "Okay."
Avery chuckled as he tightened her hold on her hand. "Don't worry, love. I won't let anything happen to you."
"Alright."
Dawn waited for him to leave, but Avery was now frozen. She frowned as she gently touched his shoulder. "Hey, is something wrong?"
Avery blushed. "No, everything's fine. I just-" he trailed off. Dawn frowned, but before she could question him, Avery started descending a narrow path. It almost seemed like he was familiar with this area, but Dawn couldn't concentrate on that fact. She was too busy holding onto a rock nearby; AKA not falling to her death.
She was so focused on this small assignment that she was surprised when Avery stopped. "Is this it?" she blurted before raising her gaze.
What she saw stole her breath away.
It was a simple waterfall, shorter than the hill itself. It looked so quaint among the surrounding hills, like a small diamond that is just happy to be part of the rough. Dawn's eyes shone as she looked at the greenery surrounding it, adding a bit more color to the rocky clusters. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a small pool under the waterfall. At least now Dawn knew that even if she would fall off the cliff, she could still survive.
"So this was right under our noses the whole time?"
Avery laughed. "Yes, it was underneath us when we parked. We're now on the opposite side. You see?" He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pointed at the top of a hill.
"That explains quite a bit."
They stood there, watching the water cascading down the rocky surface. Dawn marveled at the way the water fell into the pool, sending water drops everywhere. Avery pulled her closer,  and Dawn automatically lay her head on his shoulders. She breathed in the cool air and the muscles in her body slowly relaxed. This was harmony. This was happiness.
Dawn knew this would become one of those memories she would always look back to. It was clear that this moment with Avery was one she would never forget, because everything in it was perfect. The beautiful view, the sensation of Avery's hand on hers, the comforting sounds. There was nowhere she'd rather be.
She closed her eyes. Avery brushed a loose hair from her forehead, his touch gentle and loving. "I have something for you," he whispered.
"What is it?"
Dawn knew she should open her eyes, but she couldn't. She didn't want to lose this moment, and ridiculous as it may be, she knew that once she would open her eyes everything would disappear.
Thankfully, Avery didn't comment on that. His hand continued stroking her forehead gently, in a manner so pure it was clear how much he cared. Dawn smiled, and from the way Avery's movements slowed she knew he was doing the same.
After too short a time, Avery spoke. "Open your eyes. It's the first part of your prize."
Dawn sighed. "Do I have to?" She was so calm. If it was up to her, she would live in this moment forever.
"I promise it's worth it."
She opened her eyes with a slight huff. "Fine."
Avery's eyes twinkled with so much happiness it was almost worth Dawn's sacrifice. He extracted a small not from his pocket, his cheeks now slightly pink. "Here."
Dawn carefully took the note. She read it quietly, and by the time it ended she couldn't speak.
When darkness emerges, gripping life in its threatening claws
You’re the one who takes my hand
And leads me somewhere far
Away from the hurt and the pain
Of the dark side of fame
To the light of hope, love and a new start
A place where I can be without a broken heart
"Avery... it's beautiful."
He smiled gently. His rough hand cupped her cheek, and his voice was much weaker than usual. "There's more."
Her eyes widened. "There is?"
He nodded. "But those are for later," Avery met her gaze, his eyes twinkling with something indescribable. "For now... I say we have some fun."
"What do you mean?"
He carefully took the note from her hand. Dawn stared at him, her thoughts rendering her speechless, when Avery suddenly took her hand. He zipped his pocket closed, before a mischievous smile rose to his face. "Time to go."
And then he pulled her into the pool with him. Dawn squealed as the water welcomed her, a light laugh escaping her lips. Avery grinned as he waded, then swam, deeper into the water. Dawn followed him hesitantly, but froze when she realized they were heading toward the waterfall. "Avery, why are we going there?"
His eyes twinkled. "I'm curious. Come on."
Reluctantly, Dawn followed her boyfriend. They swam till they were right in front of the waterfall, and then dived together till they reached a wall. Once they reemerged to the air, they were met with a solid stone wall. Avery chuckled as Dawn frowned at the wall. Was this why he brought her here?
"I didn't expect this wall. In movies there's always a cave behind the waterfall, but..." Avery smirked. He climbed onto the slippery floor beside the wall, laughing as his feet slipped on the stone. Dawn carefully drew nearer, and before she knew it she was standing next to Avery on a stone platform.
"So you brought me here because you thought there would be a cave?"
"I wanted to check if the myth was true."
Dawn giggled, but her laughter disappeared when Avery took her hand. She blushed, but before she could decide what to do, Avery pulled her closer. They were now almost touching, and the knowledge sent pleasant tingles through her nerves. Avery lowered his head so they're lips almost touched, his breath fanning her face. "But I also wanted some privacy."
Dawn closed her eyes as she forced a smile to her face. "Really? What for?"
His lips brushed hers. "This."

ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS IN THE UNUSUAL ASK GAME, YOU COWARD.
First of all: 
Tumblr media
Second, questions under the cut: 
Spotify, SoundCloud, or Pandora? - Spotify! all the way. i hoarse my bf’s account so he can never listen but i don’t care it’s mine now it’s full of my music and my playlists and whenever i’m listening to it and it suddenly changes cause he tries to use it on his phone I call him, “are you using spotify?” “oh. i mean i can listen to something else?” “cool, thanks!” and i get my music back. :D
is your room messy or clean? - it’s somewhere in between. my actual ROOM (bed room, i assume) is pretty clean, except i never make the bed. but the house is .. a work in progress. it’s not dirty but it’s cluttered so my bf and I are having to work together to clear that and build shelves and stuff for more storage space.
what color are your eyes? - dark brown! (with little green flecks when I cry)
do you like your name? why? - Not really? i don’t hate it. My mom wanted to name me Savannah but they had her sign the certificate while she was still drugged from her c-section so it ended up as Crystal?? Idk. She named her dolls Crystal when she was a kid.
what is your relationship status? - dating for almost six years. 
how many times a week do you shower? uhhh idk. I don’t shower every day (unless i get gross). AT LEAST four times… but I don’t wash my hair every time cause that’s bad for my hair. I SHOWER WHEN I AM DIRTY.
favorite tv show? does Haikyuu!! count? that’s probably a given. HM. Well, we don’t have cable so I don’t watch a lot of NEW shows? …. OH. Duh. Fuckin me I’m a dumbass. Bob’s Burgers.

describe your dream date - April 25th because it’s not too cold and not too hot. Okay but jk that’s a lie where I live it’s balls hot in april. Idk. I’d like to go hiking when it’s not very hot?

Episode 11: “Recalibrate How I’m Playing This Game” - Caeleb
Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay I'm writing a long confessional then going to bed.
Jules was robbed. I was really gonna idol them when Jones/Caeleb told me Jules was getting votes, but Jules was only getting 5, and I naively thought both that Jason wasn't going to flip and Tom wouldn't self vote AGAIN ASKDLJFAF.
I'm frustrated because I love Jules. Jules was robbed and deserved better than having to deal with Alex who like will tell Jules they made a mistake and ugh. I'm frustrated that I didn't idol Jules, even though it wouldn't have been smart and would've put me in a tough game spot, its just all super tricky sigh.
in other news, Jones/Mo/Mitch need to go. I'm super proud of Mo for doing something (like genuinely) and not playing passively, I defo underestimated him, but him and Jones have way too much sway on this tribe, tied to Mitch who is clearly able to work people.
I think a good end-group for me would be Me/Benj/Tom/Julia. I really really like Caeleb but he actually is playing super smart, so I really don't think I can have him sticking around much longer.
I think a good new bootlist is: Jones > Mitch > Mo > Jason > Caeleb
I'm just frustrated because Jules was robbed and really did not deserve that, Mo/Jones are too powerful, and now so is Mitch. I'm gonna idol one of them out, and I'm going to love doing it.
Tumblr media
Holy fuck what the fuck that worked. Ok so here’s what just went down, Jules said to Jason that she’d be fine voting out either me or Mitch. People were leaning towards Mitch. We had like 20 minutes left and we started discussing and I threw out to Jones, what if we get Jules out, but she kinda ignored it and carried on with the Mitch plan. Because Jules has a lot of connections I can understand why Jones would be hesitant. So then I throw the pitch rob Caeleb and Mitch throws the pitch to Jason and they’re both on board. But that would of only been five people. Meaning it most likely would of tied so we were like ok I guess we’ll just vote Mitch. BUT THEN BENJ GETS ONLINE and he’s like “Yeah I’ll vote Jules.” SO I SCRAMBLE BACK TO CAELEB LIKE WAIT VOTE JULES WE HAVE THE NUMBERS. SAME WITH JONES AND JASON. WE GET JULES OUT. Which of course is sad because she’s literally a sweetheart and she’s super funny, but she had so many people in her corner and her and Ali combined was a scary combo. BUT I MEAN I HAVE A COOL GAME MOVE IN MY POCKET NOW THAT I DID (with Mitch) BUT WOW ME.
Tumblr media
Whew chile!!! I must admit that vote was VERY scary and VERY hectic. I thought for a moment my game was ending. Thankfully my social relationships with people allowed me to stay and send the person who was targeting me home (Jules). Now this is GREAT for me because i trusted Jules the least on the merge tribe. The communication thing never worked out between the two of us but i still find her to be a very nice person :). In regards to the vote, Mo/Caeleb, Benj, Jason, and Jones all voted to save me. To me, I feel like this means im in a really good position because everyone likes me enough to SAVE me. Up until 5 minutes before the deadline, I thought i was done for. I gotta be careful with who I work with in the future because my threat level is rising. People in touchy subjects saw me as the one who thinks they are running the game but are not, but man is this far from the truth. I'd like to say that although I didn't know what was going on COMPLETELY, I still pretty much helped/forced the target onto the person who went home. Ian- Told Alex about how I suspected Jason and Ian of being a duo (correct assumption according to ali) and everyone ended up splitting between the two (I did not care who went). Alex- I pushed very hard for alex to go because he was so dang controlling and i found that very threatening. Jules- targeted me first but I never trusted her because of how little we spoke. When she decided to target me it was the icing on the cake. Hopefully these next few rounds are smooth sailing because we NEED easy votes for at least a little bit.
Tumblr media
okay so i am trying SO hard for immunity, like its not even funny. i think i have 100+ points right now, with more videos uploading and with more planned photos tomorrow. immunity would be SO sweet, because that'd guarantee me a spot in the F8, and with my idol F7.
in other news. if i haven't said it enough, it must be said again. BENJ IS SUCH A KING. like today he told me he wants to go to F4 with Julia and Tom. I truly, truly could have shed and wept real tears. That is exactly the F4 I want, like EXACTLY ,and Benj agrees, and we are going to make it HAPPEN.
He also wants to separate Mo/Jones this round... and like honestly, I'm so down. Like I think he wants to vote off Mo versus Jones which I think is a bad idea, since Jones is a better talker and more of a threat, but his argument about Jones being a shield makes some sense.
my ideal bootlist moving forwards for the season, although it requires like julia/tom to stick with me and benj pretty tightly, is:
Mo/Jones > Mitch > Jason > Mo/Jones > Caeleb > F4: Me/Tom/Benj/Julia
and also since i love doing this for no reason, this would be my ranking of those left if i was to go to jury this round:
Mitch > Jason > Jones > Benj > Caeleb > Julia > Mo > Tom
Mitch is SO savvy, and so likable, and I could see as a definite winner, having survived so much. I can't decide if Jones is a threat because she is just so likable, or if she is actually palying super well, but I have both her and Jason very high in my opinion. Benj is so smart, I feel like he probably isn't considered as such by the other threats, but I hear him talk game - he is super woke. Caeleb is actually playing a very smart game too, flipping back and forth. I definitely underestimated him in early merge, his MIND. Julia I think is super game-savvy, just her style gets in her own way sometimes. Mo I feel like definitely did stuff last vote, but I see him as Jones' shadow/goat right now so would need to see much more. Tom I'm stuck because him self-voting twice I think almost definitely excludes him from winning so its hard to tell how I'd feel about him in an FTC. the main thing is that... we shall see.
BUT I AM WINNING IMMUNITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Tumblr media
youtube
Sending this now bc I forgot. Jason beat me in reward OOPS but I can still possibly win immunity,,,,,? Maybe?
Tumblr media
Eek me at jules being voted out, honestly i didnt really know what was going to happen at that tribal for the sole fact that everything started moving whilst i was asleep but im kinda shocked that it ended up being jules.... Like i personally wouldnt have made that move right now maybe in like 2 more rounds. Its quite scary the fact that mitch got so many people to turn on jules when i thought she was quite the loved player. So I've gotta keep an eye out for him he's probably playing the best game atm but i think ill try to take him out sooner rather than later
Tumblr media
I think I might have to recalibrate how I’m playing this game. I honestly didn't think I was all that close to Jules so her cursing me kinda surprised me. SO, that means I think a lot of people are gonna be cursing me in the upcoming rounds. Not that I am planning a lot of blindsides, I just feel a lot closer to the people actually left. Julia might be the only one that wouldn't curse me at this point, but also she might because she doesn't like me all that much. And being cursed a bunch might put a really large target on my back too.
Tumblr media
y'all i just found another idol im SCREECHING. and its a boujee one too, a sapphire idol. I'm so AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, i know where 2/3 idols are for sure, I'm truly screaming.
Tumblr media
youtube
This was me an Mitch on call when we realized we had the numbers to vote out Jules
heres the thing, i prefer the selfie scavenger hunt when im on a team because that way im motivated to get stuff done out of fear of letting everyone down. where as by myself, i let myself down all the time. ali is scary good at comps and im lazy.
Tumblr media
ALI FOUND THE MERGE IDOL AND ITS A SAPPHIRE IDOL AHHH!!!
IM SO HAPPY FOR HIM/US BUT ALSO LOWKEY PISSED BECAUSE I GET ALL THE BRIDGE STEPS AND THEN HE GETS LUCKY AT THE VERY END LMAO. AGAIN.
BUT OH WELL ATLEAST ITS NOT SOMEONE ELSE!!
And if I had any doubts (I never had) about him betraying me before I have 0 now.. u like have to really trust someone to tell them u have 2 idols LOL I could literally expose so much right now
BUT IM NOT GONNA WOO!!! BEST DUO IVE EVER HAD! Like I know it will be hard to beat him at the end but idc I want that duo story for us
Literally an idol magnet king I knew I chose the best ally on day 1
sapphire idols sound kinda annoying tho cuz u cant choose who its played on . like what if ur plan actually works and u idol the person u wanted gone LOL
lowkey would rather a normal idol ?? anyways ali went off in immunity and its final 9 idk who will go but I kinda want like mo gone (king) but we have no strategic bond so.. plus he will slip by to the end otherwise
I doubt that plan is gonna work tho cuz idk how to lead votes!! im flop sheep!

Update on idol hunt - I'm killing johnny
Tumblr media
Update apparently I’m running a vote KSKSKKFMFMFFK take back EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT NOT NEEDING POWER LMAOOOO
ok so Storytime
I’m talking to Tom at like 5:00-6:00 ish, and he says he hasn’t heard anything but he’d be down to vote Julia if other people were voting Julia (at this point this is the only name and it was said by Tom and that’s it)
At this point I tell Mo what Tom said (Bc tom and I were talking about Mo) and he said he wasn’t surprised Julia’s name was brought up
Talk to Mitch at like 7:00 ish and he’s apparenrly being targeted by Ali and for whatever reason I have this hero complex and I wanna save him all of a sudden?? I also feel like he’ll be a big shield down the road that everyone else would want out over me so it makes much more sense to keep him? SO I tell him about Julia.
I Run to Mo, tell him about Julia plan he’s on board. MOs talking to Caeleb, and Jason wouldn’t go behind Mitch’s back. So that’s already 5 people I think voting Julia, 6 if we include Tom and 7 if Benj also knows. Which I’ll probs tell him.
So ya??? Turned an idea into a plan!! I’m doing that y’all. Idk?? I’m proud. I don’t need need this much power after this round or else my ego will be the size of my dick but!!! Idk guys I’m proud of myself.
(Literally only 35 minutes later)
Literally having a stroke tonight laid ease
Uhm apparently Tom/Jason/Ali had an alliance and were trying to get me out and tried throwing me under the bus to Julia and tried saying shit I didn’t say,, so ya,,, :)
Tom tried twisting it like I was the one who threw Julia’s name out bc apparently she’s inactive? Which is cute,, I said jack shit about that. So ya.
Um I’m voting Tom tonight now. I’m an indecisive bitch tho so it might change but. Fuck Tom. We gotta break up this alliance apparently. Julia’s the only person that’s said shit to me this whole day about what’s happening so I’m more likely to believe her than anyone else sooo ya. Fuck Tom. Fuck these men.

a work in progress
series: meet your maker (1x/?)
pairing: jongdae/jaejoong but jaej is barely in this one
rating: teen i guess
summary: jongdae is not having a good time w baekyeol idk
notes: this chapter feels v. u gh. juvenile or some shit like that? i’m taking it out of the ao3 fic because it was awkward to write and it feels awkward to read and it just SUCKS so now it’s an extra instead of an integral part of the fic and i feel much better about that tbh
a few days after jongdae turns jaejoong’s signature in to minseok, he’s outside having lunch with his best friend baekhyun (middle school, high school, and now college) and their new acquisition chanyeol (baekhyun had tried to flirt with him during rush. chanyeol hadn’t noticed, but he had liked baekhyun, and so there he was) when baekhyun pops the question.
“you guys both finished the scavenger hunt, right? what’d you think of jaejoong?”
jongdae almost chokes on his mouthful of chicken. did baekhyun know? did everyone know? he opens his mouth to say something, but chanyeol beats him to it with an incredulous laugh.
“he’s fucking crazy! i thought i was gonna die - did he have a gun when you guys talked to him?!”
baekhyun gasps and leans forward over the table, delighted with the morsel of gossip chanyeol had just dangled before him. “he had a gun when you went?!”
well, if baekhyun wasn’t talking about the head, he probably still didn’t know it had happened. briefly, jongdae wonders who the hell saw kim jaejoong, spoke to kim jaejoong, and still thought it was a good idea to sell him a gun. some fucking idiot, he assumes, so that’s what he says. “what kind of fucking idiot would let that creep have a gun?”
“why not? he seemed nice enough,” chanyeol says with a frown. “besides, he told me it wasn’t loaded.”
what a load of shit. “he probably lied.”
“i doubt it,” baekhyun says. “they wouldn’t have had us put ourselves in danger just for some stupid scavenger hunt, don’t you think?”
‘not knowingly’ is what jongdae actually thinks, but he shrugs instead. “i guess you have a point.”
chanyeol, for his part, vigorously nods in agreement with baekhyun. “right! i’m sure he just had it out to mess with us.”
“besides,” baekhyun leans forward on the table, eager for validation, “didn't you guys think he was cute?”
hearing that makes jongdae want to vomit. “you only think that because you'd fuck anything with a pulse.”
baekhyun's mouth tightens in a firm line. “you can't say that shit to me just because i'm bi, jongdae.”
“i'm not saying it because you're bi, i'm saying it because you're a slut. there's a difference,” he retorts.
“why are you being such a bitch today?” baekhyun snaps, leaning forward aggressively and slamming his phone down on the table. “seriously, what the fuck crawled up your asshole and died?”
“hey,” chanyeol says uneasily, eager to stop things from escalating, “i thought he was handsome, too. i guess he's just not jongdae's type, y'know?”
“...i guess.” baekhyun relents. there's irritation across his face, but less so than before. “plus he's built," he adds after a moment, still sounding a bit sour.
“he is built.” jongdae acknowledges, and finally, baekhyun leans back in his seat comfortably, looking satisfied.
“i'm jealous,” chanyeol remarks. “i want that kind of body."
“maybe you should ask him for tips, then! it seems like he knows what he's doing.”
jongdae’s phone vibrates, and since baekhyun and chanyeol are busy wrapped up in chatter about how cool and fun their precious new jaejoong hyung is, jongdae doesn’t feel guilty about checking it. it’s an unknown number, but it looks like a real message, so jongdae opens it anyway.
what time are you done with class? the message reads. let’s get dinner.
he types out a quick response. sorry, who is this? i don't have your number on my phone.
a few minutes after he hits 'send,' his phone buzzes again.
you didn't save my number? that's mean of you. i made you feel good too, remember?
jongdae's heart constricts in his chest, and blood pounds in his ears. he tucks his phone back into his pocket and stands up. “i’m done eating,” he announces. “i’m not hungry anymore.”
baekhyun frowns at him. “you’ve only eaten, like, half your lunch, though.”
“i had a snack earlier,” he lies. “you guys can have the rest of this if you're still hungry. here.” he shoves the styrofoam container towards the middle of the table, and chanyeol reaches over and sticks his fork in a piece of chicken.
“thanks!” he says, grinning widely.
“yeah, no problem. i'll see you two later.” he gets up and slings his backpack over his shoulder, pausing to look back at baekhyun before he goes. “sorry for being a bitch."
“it's cool, i guess.” baekhyun, doesn't look at jongdae, just pops a fry into his mouth (he'd stolen it from chanyeol). it's clear he doesn't mean it, but jongdae knows he'll let it go eventually, so he offers his friends a short wave 'goodbye' and begins the walk back to his dorm.
his pace is leisurely at first, playing pretend like nothing is wrong, but he speeds up quickly as soon as he knows he’s out of eyeshot. his heart feels like it could punch through his chest, even as he reaches his room and locks the door behind him.
he sits on the bed and places his head in his hands, tries to steady his breathing. after a few minutes, he feels a little bit less like his world is crashing down around him, so he fishes his phone back out of his pocket to double check the texts.
it's possible they weren't meant for him, he reasons. it's a college campus, tons of people are out there having sex, and at least a few of them had to share his area code. he needs to be sure, though, and so he types out one more message, trying to convince himself his hands aren't shaking in the process.
is this jaejoong?, it reads.
this time, it's only seconds until his phone vibrates with a reply, so he breathes in deep and looks down at the screen.
got it in one, babe. ;)
jongdae's breath catches in his throat, and he puts his phone face-down next to him on the bed. he can't fucking look at it anymore.
he stares up at the ceiling of his room. it doesn't stare back.
“shit,” he tells it anyway.
it doesn't respond, either, which makes sense, because jongdae was alone in this from the start.

Easter HC’s
Happy Easter my loves!
(If you don't celebrate Easter then... Happy Sunday!)
((And if you prefer the religious aspect of the holiday then.... um... Amen? IDK IM NOT RELIGIOUS IM SORRY))
I felt that, since we currently aren't accepting requests, I would write a little HC with some Easter themes for you guys!
Okay enough talking, here you go my dudes <3 ~Admin 404
 *YOOSUNG:
               -He wanted to do something a little different for Easter
               -Instead of the standard basket full of goodies, he wanted to have some fun! Play around! Go outside for once!
               -"It's so nice outside... it'd be a shame if we didn't enjoy it.... if we just sat in here.... doing nothing...." "Yoosung are you okay? Are you sick?"
               -He grabbed two spoons, a bucket with some unfilled water balloons, and your hand, dragging them all outside
               -You helped him fill up a bunch of water balloons, laughing when you realized they had little patterns on them like Easter eggs or little bunny faces
               -He announced the two of you were going to have a spoon and egg race, but with water balloons!  
               -But he gets really competitive? But it's always really playful, never hurtful!
               -He's knocked the spoon so the water balloon drops, or he bumps into you on "accident"
               -After his 7th win, he's laughing at you and gloating that "Shooting Star" is the best Water balloon racer there ever was. He stopped laughing when you hit him in the face with a water balloon
               -The rest of the race turned into a water balloon fight. The both of you ended up completely soaked, running, and giggling like children. Once you were out of water balloons though, you two used the spoons as if they were swords and continued to run around like complete dorks
 *ZEN:
               -"BABE WAKE UP I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU" "Zen it's 6 in the morning this better be important or I'm killing you"
               -He has you get dressed, hands you a piece of paper, and shoves you out of the house?? This early in the morning?? He won't unlock the door?? YOU'RE GONNA FUCKING KILL HIM
               -The piece of paper had a location on it and a memory he had written down on it- it was the coffee shop the two of you and Jaehee frequent. When you got there, the manager handed you a basket with a single plastic egg in it, and another piece of paper with- surprise- another location and memory associated with it
               -After a while, the scavenger hunt got harder and harder. He'd write down a memory and you'd have to start to figure out where to go next
               -At each place, you found a single plastic egg. Curiosity got the better of you and you opened a few of them
               -Inside were different puzzle pieces? He put together a scavenger hunt for puzzle pieces? What kind of moNSTER
               -The last clue sent you home where he sat at the living room table, waiting for you
               -He helped you put the puzzle pieces together, the pieces revealed the picture you were putting together was your favourite photo of the two of you, with "I love you" scribbled in his handwriting in the corner
               -You absolutely loved it and couldn't stop smiling at how dramatic and over the top he was with it, but it was still super cute! But there was a puzzle piece missing? You turned to ask him about it and you found him holding up a plastic egg covered in glitter. You opened it to find not only the last piece, which was a picture of a heart, but also a ring.
               -He turned a nice shade of pink but had the brightest smile when he saw your eyes light up. The whole day was amazing, fun, and just absolutely beautiful. You loved all of it, and especially him, there was no way you could say no
 *JAEHEE:
               -She woke up that Sunday to find your shared living room covered in hand-made paper decorations, coloured construction paper scattered across the floor, a basket full of goodies she couldn't quite make out, and you standing in the center of the chaos with a large smile on your face
               -"MC, do you care to explain what all of....this... is?" She asked, side-eyeing the large paper rabbit you've hung against the bookshelf
               -"It's all part of a game! It's the Bunny Hop game! We pick these coloured cards, and move to that colour, sort of like Candyland!"
               -You gestured over to the basket sitting at the end of the "board", and gave her the brightest grin you could
               -"Winner gets the basket of goodies!!! Okay okay, come over here!! Hurry, hurry!"
               -She laughed at your enthusiasm and joined you at the start, taking turns moving across the "board" from colour to colour
               -THIS GAME WAS A LOT LARGER THAN SHE ORGINALLY THOUGHT? IT WRAPPED AROUND THE KITCHEN, THE STUDY, EVEN OUTSIDE???? MC HOW EARLY DID YOU WAKE UP TO SET THIS ALL UP?
               -At the end of it all, she finally realized that you had rigged it so she would win. The basket was full of some of her favourite coffee beans, a bunch of caramel chocolates, some rare Zen merchandise, and a gift card for her favourite book store
               -She had no words?? You literally set this game up just for her to win? This is the sweetest thing anyone's done for her in a long time
               -The two of you shared her chocolates throughout the rest of the day as she's cuddled against you. As a thank you for the day, she cooks one of your favourite meals for dinner. she also makes you play the bunny hop game a few more times because?? Its cute and fun and she just wants to enjoy it let her have this
 *JUMIN:
               -On Easter, you wake up to a basket full of goodies, correct?
               -When you live with Jumin, you wake up to like 5 different baskets
               -There's even a basket for Elizabeth omg what a cutie
               -EACH BASKET HAS THEMES!!!
               -A few are full of items pertaining to your favourite interests/hobbies, another is dedicated to candies and chocolate, and the largest was by far the one he was most excited about
               -It held a beautiful outfit, dazzling accessories, and even some shoes??
               -He was grinning from ear to ear when you turned to ask him about it and he held out some tickets towards you
               -A play?? This dude's seriously taking you to a play?? What a NERD but you couldn't help but get just as excited who's the nerd now, mc????
               -IT WAS ACTUALLY THE CUTEST LITTLE PLAY ABOUT AN EASTER BUNNY BRINGING GIFTS AND JOY TO CHILDREN AND YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THIS DORK TOOK YOU TO THIS (it wasnt even a play pertaining to the religious aspect of the holiday?? it was a grown man in a bunny suit?? and he loved every minute of it??)
               -When the two of you got home, you gave him his own Easter basket, full of cat-themed accessories, bottles of his favourite wines, and a hand-made coupon book full of tasks and actions he can cash in on (which he laughed at because?? you both knew you'd do any of these if he just asked)
 *SAEYOUNG:
               -It was too early in the morning and Saeran was pissed at the both of you
               -He had to hide dozens and dozens of plastic eggs around the house for the both of you to find
               -But Saeyoung was COMPETETIVE AS FUCK
               -He loves you, MC, but he's gonna find the most eggs. He's gonna get the most candy. He will reign supreme
               -BUT SAERAN HID THEM REALLY WELL??? THERE WERE A LOT THAT YOU COULDN'T GET TO AND CURSED THE WORLD WHEN SAEYOUNG RAN UP BEHIND YOU AND GOT THEM
               -There was one up like in the door of the attic? You found Saeyoung dangling from the opening
               -"Uuuuh MC, since you're soo nice and sooo amazing..." "I'm not bringing you the ladder" "MC PLEASE"
               -He actually threw a pity party in the corner of the living room when he lost the Easter egg hunt? "YOU'RE BEING A CHILD, MAN UP, CHOI" "LEAVE ME ALONE MC"
               -At the end of the day though, the two of you sat watching cliché Easter movies and eating the pounds of chocolate the two of you collected
               -It's not surprising that the two of you ended up in a sugar induced coma, spread out of the couch. Saeran looked at the two of you in disgust as he stole a handful of his brothers candy, so you'd have more than him when the two of you woke up
 *V:
               -Why is there a large canvas sitting in your living room whERE IS THE FURNITURE
               -V was standing there in an old t-shirt and shorts, smiling at you proudly, which makes you question just what he has planned
               -The entire room is covered in layers of old sheets, painters paper, and cartons upon cartons of eggs scattered about the floor
               -"MC! Look! We can make art with paint instead of photos this time!" "But V, you have your camera set up right here, it's set for rapid fire" "No it's not, ignore that" "IT'S RIGHT HERE" "No it's not"
               -Once you've changed into the appropriate painting attire, you look around for some brushes, and more importantly, some paint
               -You watched as he picked up an egg, smiled at you, and threw it at the canvas. The egg shattered, leaving a large paint splatter across it. That's when it clicked that the eggs are hollowed out and full of different coloured paint
               -The two of you take turns just throwing different colours, laughing, and shoving each other playfully
               -After a while, throwing the eggs at the canvas turned into throwing them at each other. He even smashed a few full of light blue paint over your head
               -"Look, MC, now you've got hair like mine"
               -The fight didn't end until the both of you were covered head to toe in paint, and he had enough pictures of the two of you playing to make a full scrapbook of its own. You even laid on the ground and made a paint angel, and he drew a little halo above you and everything
 *SAERAN:
               -He watched in confusion as you filled a ton of different bowls full of vinegar and food dye
               -You had almost every colour you could think of and he wasn't sure what you were even going to do with it?
               - After an explanation that, you take hard boiled eggs and set them in the liquid so you can colour and decorate them, he was just left with more questions
               -"Why would you do that? Couldn't you just eat it? What's the point?" "Stop asking questions and just dye some eggs"
               -He watched you use a clear crayon to draw some designs on the eggs, dip them in multiple colours, and tried to do the same
               - his first few eggs were literally just black
               -He actually enjoyed drawing little bunny faces on some of them. There were even little egg versions of the two of you!
               -A while later, he realized that the dye sort of...dyes your skin, so he wanted to mess with you
               -He got a paint brush and started to paint little pictures on your arm while you tried to finish dyeing the eggs
               -But it was really relaxing and you couldn't help but let him do it. By the end of the night, the two of you were not only naked, but you guys were covered in adorable little paintings! He loved them a lot and didn't want to wash them off in all honesty. Though the two of you reeked of vinegar and Saeyoung had to exaggerate and wear a clothespin on his nose the whole next day
