My brain is so cooked right now and even if I could find the words to explain it my 84 year old therapist recently fell and got a head injury and was in the hospital for two weeks and will have two weeks more of PT.

Heart Infection (Part One)
(I usually only post dark content here but im lowkey proud of this one. The rest of the fic is here
In a world where society has gotten used to zombie outbreaks, your domestic life is turned into chaos and a race for survival when an outbreak occurs in your city. In the middle of it all, you stumble upon a giant, speaking in a foreign language. He won’t show you his face. He’s ruthless. He’s a force to be reckoned with. But, despite the fact you can’t understand him, you know without a doubt this man would die to protect you.
Pairing: König x reader
They always say it happens fast.
They never clarified how fast.
It was just one report. One incident of someone behaving strangely. Just a couple of minor incidents. You hadn't thought much of it. You existed as you had always: going to work, lazing around your home, talking with your friends. One week you carried life as normal, the next you were getting bombarded by alerts to stay inside.
Lock your doors. Stay silent. Stay undetectable. It was the last message you got before your internet went out, and you descended into a microscopic dark age.
You’ve never really thought about outbreaks all that much. It’s a tragedy, but it’s a rarity. The probability of it happening to you or anyone else you knew was 0.0005%. Maybe even less. It was never supposed to happen to you.
The screaming ended days ago. You still didn’t move from your spot, huddled in a small corner of your apartment, too scared to do anything else.
You could hear them every so often. The groaning. The horrific footsteps of something not human. At least, something not human anymore. They’re so loud. You didn’t think anything could be this loud. Their screams ricochet off the walls, into your apartment. Sometimes it’s upstairs. Sometimes it’s right by your door.
A morbid part of you wondered if you’d be able to recognize them. Your neighbors, something that used to be your neighbors. You couldn’t, something which you were grateful for. All the moans, the garbles, the shrieks, they were all incoherent, unrecognizable. Inhuman.
Protocol had been drilled into your head ever since you were a kid. In schools, you had outbreak drills, where you and your classmates sat in a room for five minutes until the lights came back on and class resumed as normal. If an outbreak happened when you were at home stay put. Stay silent. Stay unnoticed.
Only now are you realizing the parallelisms between now and the drills practiced by schoolchildren during the Cold War. Teachers would tell their students to hide under tables. They'd board up the windows. It was all useless. Just a half-hearted attempt to quell the nerves of the people. To give them a false sense of security.
You check your phone, tapping on the screening, telling yourself you’d put it on silent already. You can’t charge it. The power in your apartment went out two weeks ago. You’re pretty sure the water went with it too. You can’t connect to the internet. The phone lines are down. At this point, your phone is only good for its flashlight.
(You don’t even think about turning it on even in the darkness of your apartment. They’re attracted to light.)
It’s useless, but you’re still pulling up your mom’s contact. You send her a message. The 438th one.
‘Still alive. I love you.’
Message unable to deliver responds your phone. You turn it off, closing your eyes.
Your mother, God what was she thinking right now? She wasn’t in the city. She lives miles away in your hometown. You knew she was already aware, probably sick with worry. The last outbreak happened two years ago in a small town all the way on the other side of the country. You were home from college, cuddled up with her on the couch as you two watched the news in horror. Her co-worker’s daughter had been in the infected city. She hadn’t made it. Your mom attended the funeral.
She later admitted to you that she was glad it wasn’t you she was watching on the TV.
You wonder if she remembers these words right now. If they haunt her.
Outside, the siren flicks off. It had been blaring static music for the past hour. They’re attracted to noise. The woman’s voice is too cheery for the current situation. Her voice was too clinical, and measured. It was obvious that it was pre-recorded. She always repeated the same thing: We apologize for the delay of Aide. Please remain in your homes. We thank you for your patience.
You’d be annoyed if you weren’t so terrified.
It had only been three weeks since your world went to shit, but you’d already lost hope of help ever arriving. Maybe the tanks, the guns, the arsenal were already on their way but they hadn’t gotten to you yet, too preoccupied by the swarms of monsters. You’d already boarded up your windows, too afraid to see something you didn’t want to see, but through the tiny cracks, the barren streets were lifeless. No one had come. Not yet, at least.
The barren streets were lifeless. Lifeless, not empty.
During the first two days, there were many of them. Now, you could sometimes see a couple, if any at all.
Their skin had lost the brightness of a human’s. Each one was a dull shade of grayish green. Some decayed faster than others, revealing rotting flesh right underneath their sagging skin. You’d seen a couple missing arms, and legs, mindlessly limping, crawling away to some unknown destination. When they weren’t hunting, they were slow. Truly dead.
The worst were the children. Small,  bodies stumbling here and there. Tiny bones jutting out from rotting skin. Sickly eyes that had been gone for days. You couldn’t bear to look outside after that.
You'd seen them hunt before. It was during the first couple of hours when everything went to shit. The man was running, dragging his clearly broken leg as fast as he could. He wasn't fast enough. They had caught up to him in minutes. You had to turn away when his screaming turned to painful shrieks. You could still hear them every so often, even after you boarded up your windows. You don't think you'll ever be able to forget his begs for help. Ever the coward, you prayed he didn't see you. You prayed it wasn't you he was begging to.
The guilt kept you up at night sometimes. Every so often, you'd hear another scream, another tearing of flesh. You just lay there, covering your ears with your hands, hoping you'd wake up from this nightmare.
Had your friends ended up like that? You hadn't been able to get into contact with any of them. Hopefully, they had evacuated. You couldn't even think of them huddled up like you, stuck to listening to the terror outside. Or perhaps a fate even worse turned into a rotting corpse still living.
Your pantry was full of canned food. Beans, corn, tomatoes. You knew you wouldn’t have to worry about food running out, that is if you could ever have an appetite big enough for a full meal. You had water bottles too, all piled into the back of your closets.
The real issue wasn’t food. The real issue wasn’t water. It was the wait. The terrifying suspense every time you moved a bit too fast, terrified that something above or below you would hear. You were always warned about how strong these things were. Devoid of the human limitations, they will do everything they can to claw past wood, concrete, steel. It doesn’t matter how mangled they get. They can’t feel pain.
Your pantry was overflowing with food. Now, all you had to do was play the waiting game.
You've noticed they're more active in the night rather than the day. It made sense, to a degree. The cooler air slowed down the rate of decay. The sun was harsh, especially during the summer months. Why would a rotting piece of meat ever want to stay underneath the burning sun?
But it made the nights tenser. You could hardly sleep when the sun went down and the light in your apartment faded to pitch black. They were louder. Hungrier. It was as though they took their anger on the sun out on the darkness, letting their fury consume everything in their path.
You flinch when another bang ricochets across your apartment. Tonight seemed to be the worst. The shuffling. The growling. It seemed to all get desperate. Impatient.
It was starting to seem more and more as though they were looking for something.
You don't even want to entertain that thought, but you could hear scratching through the walls. The sound of human fingers raking their claws against cement. Tonight, you had barricaded yourself in your closet, nestled between your clothes. You could hear the muffled echoes of things crawling upstairs, knocking things over.
It almost distracts you from the thudding at the front door. Like a body is being rammed against your door over and over and over and over and over and over and-
Your door has to give eventually. You want to curse yourself for it because you once remembered your mom berating you for not installing better security and tougher doors. You'd laughed her concerns off. You thought it was paranoia.
The door caves in, something inhuman is crawling into your apartment. All that you can think about is your mom's knowing I told you so.
Haggard footsteps made their way into your abandoned living room. It was loud, messily bumping into tables and walls. There didn't seem to be a set direction. It didn't know where exactly you were. It didn't matter.
You were going to die.
It was a startling thought, but not something you could deny. You were only able to survive for five days, that alone was a miracle. That’s all this was. Luck. A roll of the dice. You weren’t a survivor. You were weak, with zero combat experience. This was all just a one-in-a-million chance. You still have no clue how you managed to survive this long. Maybe the monsters thought you were already dead? Maybe they thought you were too weak to even bother? You didn't know why you were still thinking about this. It wasn't like it mattered. You were living on borrowed time. Your front door was no match for it. What about your room? What will the numerous barricades even do against these things?
You were out of time.
You can feel the sting of tears in your eyes. You suck in your breath, huddling into a tighter ball.
This thing was going to find you. This thing was going to kill you. And there was nothing you could do about it.
You check your phone. Still, no signal. You sent her your last message, anyway.
'I love you'
A part of you hopes your messages never get through to her. So she wouldn't have to know her child died with fear. With pain. You pray to any god still listening to you that she will assume you died within the first day, unaware, oblivious. You prayed she would know that you died a merciful death.
But the gods hate you. They laugh at you, leering as the thing drags its body closer and closer to your room, towards your closet with a trembling hulk of flesh locked inside, ripe for the taking.
And then it stops. You wait, bracing yourself. When there's still no movement, you realize that it's listening for something.
Soon, you hear it too.
Gunshots.
You clasp a hand over your mouth, stifling your gasp. Had help arrived? Had you just narrowly avoided being eaten?
The thing just outside your room door growls. You can hear it hustle out of your apartment on unsteady legs, as it fights to go where the gunshots are coming from. It doesn't have to go far.
It doesn't sound like a struggle. It's more like a one-sided fight. Decaying flesh doesn't do well against steel guns and bullets. There are a couple of rapid shots, and then something heavy collapses outside of the apartment.
And then, it's all over.
You almost can't believe it, still huddled in your corner of the closet. It's all over. You can't hear any more dull groans and screeches. Whoever was out there, had gotten rid of them all.
You're crying again, for an entirely different reason now. Relief. Utter joy. Hope.
But now, you have an entirely new problem. How do you get out to meet your saviors, without getting shot?
Their boots were heavy, roughly stomping around without a care in the world. From what you could hear, there was only one of them. The rest must be outside, scanning other apartments, looking for more survivors. Military. Or maybe a crudely put-together army of minute men. You didn't care which.
There was only one person in your apartment, and they seemed to be a sort of shoot-first-ask-questions-later type of person. You had to get their attention in a way that wouldn't spook them. You had no trust in your voice, it was going to be scratchy from the unuse, maybe even rivaling the monsters' groans.
You take too long to come up with a plan because the intruder in your apartment seems to still, seemingly realizing they aren't alone.
His voice is deep, almost rattling the apartment, as he calls out. You can't understand him. It takes you a moment to realize he's speaking a different language than you.
Shit. This was going to be harder than you initially anticipated.
His footsteps seem heavier as if he is intentionally trying to intimidate you. It's working, because your heartbeat quickens when your room door is blown open. You can hear him rifle through your bed. He calls out something again. Closer. It sounds European. Dutch, or perhaps it was German? Russian? You still can't make out what he's saying.
The man says something. Despite your lack of understanding, it's crystal clear that he's making a threat. He sounds right in front of your closet. The soft click of a gun makes your shyness whittle away far enough that you can actually say something.
"Don't shoot. " You try to scream, but it comes out with a choked cry. "I'm human. I'm human."
That seems to stop him, and he pauses long enough for you to prove your innocence. Slowly, as if he's the one you're trying not to scare, you creak the door open, gently giving away your hiding spot.
The flashlight makes you wince, and you try to shy away from the light. He seems to be assessing as to whether you're a threat or not. As uncomfortable as it was, you let him, lowering your eyes so you're not blinded.
He says something, obviously asking a question. When you don't respond quickly, his voice grows harder, more impatient.
You bite your lip, nerves rising.
"I don't-I don't understand," You finally manage to say, "I'm sorry."
There's a moment, and then he's clicking off his flashlight. He gives a ragged sigh like this is above his pay grade.
"I'm sorry," You say again into the darkness.
You can tell that he's still watching you. What else is there to inspect? The rest of your rundown apartment? He tries speaking again. It's clear that he's trying to sound softer. He's lost the harsh growl in his voice. It makes him sound younger, at least, to your ears.
The change of tone doesn't change the fact that you still don't know his language. You shake your head, hoping you can get your point across once more. He reaches for you, and you can't help it.
You flinch, pressing yourself against the wall, watching his shadow warily.
It's funny how the one thing you wished for was to be saved, and now that you are, you still cower. It's not intentional. It's uncontrollable. You're still wary of the stranger. He's unreadable.
He seems to get the point, raising his hands up, and leaving the gun at his side. You doubt being weaponless makes him any less dangerous.
You can't make out most of him, but in the dim light you got, you were able to tell he was big. Even now, as he crouched before you, in a clear attempt to make himself less hostile. You can't seem to find his face. There's some kind of darkened mask on him, obscuring his features. For some reason, you suddenly realize you can't really hear his breathing.
He tilts his head as if to say See? I'm harmless! You don't think you agree with that statement. Even then.
He's safe. You know he's safe.
You don't exactly relax, but you ease back into your space. He seems to get the point, standing back up to his full height, easily towering over you.
He gestures to his hands. It takes you a while to realize he's asking if you're injured.
"No." You shake your head. "No injuries."
He seems satisfied with that, backing away to look at your room. Apart from the numerous barricades you put across the windows, your bedroom is pretty sparse. You wonder if he's thinking how you managed to survive this long. You wonder if he's impressed by it. You wonder if he pities you for it.
He moves around more, scuttling throughout your apartment. It's becoming clear that he's checking for other survivors. As expected, he returns with no one else. It's just you and him. Alone.
There's a silence now. You hadn't realized it until just now, everything around you seems gone. Dead. You peek out the window. You can't see much, just more barren streets. There's nothing.
Did he and his team get rid of all of the monsters in the area? How?
There's a thud and when you turn back you notice something has been thrown at your feet. It's an old backpack you owned. You look up at him. His meaning is clear.
Start packing.
Right. You can't stay here. Not anymore. Despite your home being your sanctuary, with your door broken into, you're vulnerable here. Easy prey. You know all this, and yet you find yourself hesitating for a bit.
You had to go out there? Where danger lurks in every corner? It sounds like a daunting task. Your heart is telling you to stay put, where it's always felt safe. Home.
Your brain knows the truth. If you stay here, you are dead. For right now, this man was the only hope you had.
You do as he says, running around your apartment, eager to stuff as many items as you can. It's mostly food, water, and any nonperishables. You don't have any weapons, the only thing that even counts as one is your small can of mace. You don't know how well it will fare against the undead, but you take it with you, hoping something is better than nothing.
He doesn't comment on anything you took, merely turning back to face the front of your apartment the moment you look ready. You follow him obediently, only giving one last look at your home. It's a bleak end. You wonder if you'll ever be able to return.
He gives a grunt. When you look forward, you see that he's quite a ways ahead of you. He jerks his head in the universal gesture of 'you coming?'.
Your shoes pitter-patter to catch up to his boots, abandoning the remnants of your apartment. His strides are long, almost twice the length of yours. You almost have to run to keep up with him, jostling your bag. Dawn was coming. The windows gave way to the sun slowly rising from the horizon. It causes you to see more fragments of him.
Looking back, it was probably a good thing you couldn't see him all that well before. Otherwise, your first encounter might have ended with you assuming that he was planning on eating you. He easily towered over you, having to duck under the ceiling at times. His hooded mask rivaled the death that had been crawling around your home, creating a terrifying parallel. His vest was covered in assorted knives, guns, and other weapons you could barely name. The gun he'd used on the monster was slung on his back. You can't see his eyes, you don't know why that bothers you.
It's intimidating. And you're suddenly glad you aren't on his ire.
You're confused. You're scared. Those are never a good combination. You decide to momentarily forget your burning questions. You'd come back to them when you were safe.
At least, you hoped that's where this man was taking you. To safety.
He hadn't even bothered saying another word to you, just casually trekking on, letting you follow a couple of steps behind. Every so often, you'd catch a glimpse of his mask as he glanced behind him, as though he were trying to assure himself that you were still there. Where was he going? Where were you following him? It's not like you could just ask him.
You didn't even know his name.
You were half-afraid the small tap on his shoulder wouldn't register to him. He turns, to your relief, peering down at you.
"Who are you?" You softly ask. It's the first sentence you've managed to say to him that wasn't a stuttered apology.
He tilts his head, clearly not understanding. In response, you point at his chest. He takes a moment, it's why you get worried he still doesn't get it.
"König." His voice is rough against the word.
"König?" You repeat, the word alien in your mouth. He gives a barely visible nod.
You give a tentative smile. When he keeps staring, you give out your own name. He takes a second, mulling it over.
And then König is walking again. You follow one step in front of the other.

The Criminal And The Princess II
Grumpy!College!Eddie X Sunshine!Skater!Reader
Tumblr media
Summary : Edens dad is pushing her to breaking point, but when Steve Harrington suggests going to a gig, they stumble upon who she never thought she’d see.
Word Count : 2k
Warnings : not much eddie (i’m sorry), shitty parents, once again talk of eating, girlhood, nancy is sad, swearing, billy hargrove.
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
“Again!”
“Dad I have to go I have class,” I sighed, skating towards him. “Regionals are coming up how are you expecting to win if you’re still so sloppy?” he snapped at me.
“Maybe I don’t want to win! Maybe I don’t even wanna go to fucking regionals!”
“Don’t you dare talk to me like that!”
“I’m telling you the truth!”
“Your mother-“ I didn’t give him the chance to finish, “I’m not mom!”
With a deep breath, i spoke calmly, “I know you miss her, god dad I do too, but me skating, won’t bring her back.” The man who I love so dearly didn’t say a word, his dark eyes stern. “Just go Eden.”
“Dad-“
“And don’t worry about dinner on Friday.”
“Dad come on-“
“You need to lose the weight anyways.” I sucked in a breath, but said nothing more as I watched the greying man walk up the stairs and slamming the door to his office.
Rubbing my hand to my face I sat down on the cold plastic bench, taking off my skates and replacing them with my trainers. Throwing my oversized hoodie on, I headed out of the rink and to my car.
“E!” a voice called out.
“Harrington,” I replied, as the brunette jogged over the parking lot to me. “Hey- woah you look like shit!”
“Yeah 4:30 starts will do that to a girl,” I shrugged, throwing my bag in the back.
“Sorry that was rude of me,” he said, but I brushed him off with a smile. “What can I do for you Stevie boy?”
“So my friend has gig after the match on Friday, I was wondering if you wanted to come? Obviously I’ve invited the rest of the gang.”
“Did you really just say gang?”
“Yeah, I regret it, shut up. Do you wanna come?”
“I have training the next-“ my brows furrowed, dad’s words echoing in my head, “You know what, yeah it sounds fun.
“Great, I’m gonna text Robin all the details so, I’ll see you around.”
“See you.”
Well that was something to look forward too.
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
Sat in class the professor droned on and on, Vickie was almost asleep besides me. I felt my phone buzz in pocket, taking it out I saw a message from Robin.
Robs : soooo a little dingus said you’re coming to a certain gig this friday? 👀
E : figured it was time i had some fun
E : lets be honest its a rare occasion
Robs : im actually so excited for this!!!!!
E : yeah me too, and you’re gonna be extra excited when i tell you who else is coming 😚
Putting my phone down on my notebook I nudged Vickie. “Hm,” she said rubbing her eyes, then brushed an auburn curl from her face.
“Sorry did I fall asleep?” I huffed a laugh,
“A little, but that’s not why I’m waking you. Are you free Friday?”
“I think so yeah, what’s up?”
“Wanna come to a gig?”
“Who’s gig?”
“Not sure yet, but me and a few friends are going, Nancy, Steve, oh and you know Robin right?”
“R-robin?” she stuttered.
“Yeah! I could text you the details, it’d be nice to hang out when we’re not studying.”
She nodded, cheeks flushed slightly, “Yeah cool, just text me.” I returned the nod, picking my phone back up.
Robs : who???
Robs : ????
Robs : did you die???
E : lmao no very much alive
Robs : who’s coming???
E : Vickie
Robs : …
E : love youuuuuu 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Robs : EDEN I SWEAR TOENDJSKSJSKSJJDJD
With a laugh I put my phone away and attempted to focus on this mind numbing lecture.
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
Friday rolled around really quickly, people were so ready for the weekend already. Who knew summer break would be missed already.
“I’m still not over the fact your dad said that to you?” Nancy said, whilst taming her curls.
“It’s fine, it’s not like it’s out of the ordinary.”
“Are you sure I can’t kick him in the throat?”
“I really don’t wanna have to bail you out of jail Robs.”
She hummed, “Yeah that’s true, would not look good for my future.”
“Dads are so shit!” Nancy exclaimed out of nowhere. “Nance-“ I began.
“No! I Robins dad walked out, your dad bullies you and my dad acts like I don’t fucking exist. Why do these men have kids and then treat them like trash?”
The girl was flinging her arms around like crazy, huffing angrily. “Nance, but the hairbrush down you’ll hurt yourself,” Robin said. The girl placed it to the floor, kneeling down behind her, I met her gaze in the mirror.
“What happened?” I asked. She looked at me with glassy eyes. “Mom called, yesterday she was going out to that meal, you know the one for her friends birthday?”
Me and Robin both gave her affirming nods, “Well Mike was working a shift at the record store and dad was picking Holly up from school,” she let out a shaky breath.
“It’s okay,” I said, hugging her from behind, resting my chin on her shoulder. “He forgot her, was sat at home watching a game. She was there for hours, when Mike came home he found him passed out on the couch.”
“Is Holly okay?” Robin asked, sliding off Nancys bed and down next to us. The brunette nodded, “Yeah, a teacher stayed with her and Mike went to get her. Mom got so mad and then you know what he said?”
I rubbed her shoulder, and Robin squeezed her hand. “He said, ‘Oh Nancy was supposed to get her,’” she choked on a sob, “He didn’t even know I was gone!”
“Oh Nance,” I said, pulling her back to hug me, Robin went to her front, wrapping her arms around us both. “Dads are the worst,” Robs said. “They really are!” I agreed.
“I swear Jonathan, Will and El are the only ones who got a decent one!” Robin laughed. “H-Hoppers a good man,” Nancy sniffled.
“You know what we’re gonna do tonight?” I asked pulling away from the hug, going to face Nancy, I wiped the tears from her face.
“What?” she asked.
“We’re gonna go to that game and cheer on our guy Harrington! And then, we’re gonna go to that gig and drink and dance and celebrate the badass women who raised us!”
“That sounds like the best plan,” Robin smiled, “You up for it Nance?”
“Yeah! Let’s go celebrate our moms.”
“And also get Robin a girlfriend!”
Me and Nancy laughed as Robin fell back, groaning into her hands. “What about you? You got your eye on anyone?” Nancy asked, cleaning up her tear stained face.
“Nah.”
“Oh come on E!”
“Seriously there’s nobody,” I laughed. “Plus I’m happy enough being wingwoman, I mean you and Johnny are getting to 2 years now?”
“Yeah,” the girl couldn’t hide her smile, “Speaking of, he’ll be here soon so, get ready!” She shooed us out of her room with a laugh.
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
“Come on Harrington!” I cheered, jumping up and down. The game was almost over and our guys were down 6 points. Jonathans friend Argyle let out a loud whoop as the puck hit the back of the net.
“Let’s go dingus!” Robin shouted. I looked up from the ice briefly, my eyes meeting my fathers. His face looked like its normal stern self, but he looked sad?
I know I shouldn’t have yelled at him, specially not about mom, but god he shouldn’t have said the things he did either.
Suddenly I felt arms wrapped around me and the siren went, signalling the game was over. “We won!” Robin screamed. I looked at the score board, we were up by 2 points.
With a smile, I put my arms around the girl, giving her a squeeze. Leaning over the side of the seats, Steve walked past, “Go on Harrington!” we all cheered for him, making him smile bashfully.
“I’ll meet you guys after,” he said walking away. “No cheers for me Eden?” a vile voice came. “In your dreams Hargrove.”
“Oh they’re more than cheers in the dreams gorgeous.”
“Gross, “Robin said from behind me.
“You okay Benny?” Jonathan asked. Benny was a nickname he’d decided on when we were in kindergarten, apparently Eden was a weird name, but I thought Johnathan was too old so,” All good Johnny.”
The rink soon cleared out and we decided to wait by our cars for Steve. “Eden,” a deep voice called from behind. Dad was stood at the end of the hallway, Robin held my hand, Nancy appearing on the other side.
“It’s okay, I’ll catch up,” I said, walking towards the man. “What’s up?” I asked.
“I … I just wanted to apolo-“ he was cut off when the team of hollering boys ran by, Steve being one of them.
“Coach Bennett,” the boy smiled, swinging his arm over my shoulder. “Steve, good match,” the man offered him a smile, I hadn’t had one of those in a long time.
“Sorry I interrupted,” Steve spoke.
“It’s okay, what did you want to say dad?”
“Take a break this weekend, no training, but I expect you to do a morning and evening practice on Monday. Yrene is back from maternity leave so she’ll be training you.”
I sighed, but spoke through gritted teeth, “Great, thanks dad.” I turned to Steve, “Let’s go,” almost dragging the boy down the hall.
“We could get lunch on Sunday?” My dad called after me.
“What?”
“Lunch. I know dinner isn’t an option tonight, go have fun. Let me know if you’re free Sunday.” I gave him a nod, before I did drag Steve down the hall.
“That was weird,” he said when we got out into the fresh hair, you could feel that autumn was rolling around fast. “I know, who knew that Ethan Bennett wasn’t always an ass,” I said.
“Everything okay?” Nancy asked as we headed to the car. “Yeah all good, now let’s go!”
“What’s the name of the band your friends in again?” Jonathan asked.
“Corroded Coffin, and I gave you the address right?” Jonathan nodded, consuming, “The hideout right?”
“Yeah that’s the one, E does that friend of yours need a ride?”
I felt Robin go stiff beside me, “Vickie? Nah she’s being dropped off by her brother.”
“Cool, let’s go then!”
“I swear I’m gonna kill you,” Robin muttered. “What was that?” She gave me a sickly sweet smile, linking our arms, “Nothing!”
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
The bar known as The Hideout was packed, I recognised some faces from college, everyone was here to have a good time. Onto your second drink, I smiled as I saw a familiar redhead.
“Vickie!” I called out.
“Hey,” she smiled, making her way through a crowd of people. “Come and meet the guys.” Taking her hand I led her over to my friends.
“Everyone!” I shouted to get their attention, “This is Vickie, we’re in history together.”
She raised a hand, offering a smile to them. “Vickie this is Steve, Nancy, Jonathan,” he cringed when I said his name,” Argyle and you know Robin.”
“Yeah, hi,” she smiled.
“Hey um … can I get you a drink?”
“Uh yeah sure, cool.” Oh my god they were so cute. When the pair walked away me and Nancy squealed.
“Alright folks we have our next act of the evening for you, give it up for Indianas own, Corroded Coffin!” A man shouted into the mic.
The five of us walked into the crowd getting to the front, standing by the stage, I was excited to see Steve’s buddy.
Out walked 3 boys, one sitting behind the drum set and the others picking up guitars. Taking a sip of my drink, I regretted it right away, almost choking when I saw the final member walk out on stage.
“Holy shit!” I exclaimed.
“Good evening Indiana!” he shouted. He looked so different, so alive, his curls falling down his back, freely allowed to do so. His dark eyes shining with mischief and joy.
“We’re Corroded Coffin and we’re here to rock your world for the next hour or so! Are! You! Ready!”
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
They meet again 👀
This part was mainly me healing the parental issues in stranger things with friendship lmao.

Headcanons for being Hopper’s daughter and dating Eddie Munson (Part 2)
Eddie Munson x fem!Hopper!reader
warnings: death, angst, guns, violence, drugs, etc
a/n:
prompt: anonymous: “Hello! I was wondering if I would be allowed to request being the daughter (or just child) of Jim Hopper and dating Eddie Munson headcanons please and thank you <33”
part 1
Tumblr media
eddie was sincerely freaked and a bit relieved you believed him in all of this mess
he was your boyfriend, you told him everything BUT this. now he got to hear it all
“why didn’t you tell me before?” -eddie
“eddie, you of all people know how lame the government is. i could be killed bringing anyone into this of my free will” -you
“yeah…fuck the government” -eddie
walking him through ‘83 and the demogorgon, ‘84 and the demodogs and the gate and such, ‘85 and the mind flayer and soviets, up until now
which was jarring
“y/n…are you okay?” -eddie
“are you?” -you
you were ready to fight for eddie. you were ready to make this all go away but you were wracking your brain on how you could swing this
keen on calming him down, but you needed to leave in order to help him out
“i mean, y/n, do you really think you should be out there? everyone knows youre his girlfriend, they’ll be after you, too” -steve
“worried for me, stevie?” -you (steve had a crush on you in middle school)
“will you let that go? now is not the time!” -steve
this time…it was different. it was peculiar, it was personal
and another body dropped, making the stakes feel even higher as your people tried to find the culprit
meanwhile, jason carver was seeking you out. an eye for an eye, perhaps?
“y/n, do you really think you of all people should be carrying a gun right now? i mean, all eyes are on you. it won’t look good if you’re caught” -nancy
“no one died of gunshot wounds, i’ll be fine” -you
“you really do sound like your dad” -nancy
“thanks, hope i don’t die like him, too” -you
“i’d say, right now, you have a better chance of dying like chrissy and fred” -dustin “what?! just saying”
checking on eddie as much as you can
and very strongly warning against getting high because this already felt like a trip
but u got him many snacks and some stuff to keep him occupied for the time being
“im not used to responsible y/n. it’s weird. you’re weirding me out” -eddie
he flirted with you over the radio a little too much
“ahem…you know we can all hear you two, right?” -robin
putting on a show for the cops to get them off your trail
“miss hopper, give us a reason to conclude you’re not a suspect” -powell
“oh, im not little y/n anymore?” -you
“you live with him, you spend all your time with him. this whole town thinks it was you, too” -callahan
“you think this is easy for me, guys? you think i’m not looking over my shoulder every other step? that could have been me, right?! and now the man who had offered me a home is nowhere to be found and i have nowhere to go and now i have to deal with you two—people i thought i could trust and could trust me—following me around like im a killer! i just want this to end!” -you, crocodile tears streaming down your face
“we’re sorry, y/n. for all of it, okay? but be careful out there, a lot of people have their eyes on you and we can’t stop that from happening” -powell
at least you got the cops off your trail
plans were finally starting to be set in motion
especially after the gate at lover’s lake had opened
“y/n, y/n, wait, don’t jump in there. don’t go” -eddie, latching onto you
“you’re gonna learn with us that no one gets left behind, eddie. steve needs us. you can still go with the kids, it’s okay” -you, diving in
eddie followed you down and into the upside down in immediate conflict
“y/n, where’s your gun?!” -nancy
“ammo’s wet, we’re gonna have to do this the old fashioned way” -you, picking up an oar
after everyone was deemed safe, eddie apologized for “chickening out”
“eddie…this is your first time in the thick of it. no one blames you for being scared or hesitant, we all were at first. some of us still have those moments. but we all look out for each other, and we’re looking out for you, too. don’t sell yourself short” -you
“you know, that thing with the oar..? it was kind of hot” -eddie
“should have seen that one coming from a mile away” -you
“so you agree you’re hot?” -eddie
ok so when you’re in this “fight for your life” mode you may be just a teeny bit hot
he was so used to your “idgaf” attitude and the way you were heading for burnout and now you were all business
getting to eddie’s other-side trailer and ultimately escaping (with a few hiccups)
and creating your master plan
“y/n, how do you think we’re gonna save him?” -dustin, leaning against you in the RV
“how do you mean?” -you
“eddie. how are we gonna convince the town he’s not a killer if we cant expose vecna?” -dustin
“well, now that we know that the creel murders are connected to vecna, maybe the government will say creel escaped or something. i don’t know, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, dusty” -you
eddie was asleep on your other shoulder
when you went to gear up, you ran into jason
“y/n hopper, the devil worshipper’s girlfriend. what’re you doing out in this neck of the woods?” -jason
“i think you mean the sheriff’s daughter, i’m not defined by my previous relationships” -you, lying completely
“ah, so you’re saying that you left him? finally come to your senses?” -jason
“just looking out for myself” -you, holding up your newest purchases
“well, we can look out for you, too. you’re more than welcome to come with us” -jason
“i’ll pass, jason. i have my own people to look out for” -you
jason glanced around
“oh, the hellfires? your story isn’t adding up here, y/n. you sure you’re not standing with eddie?” -jason, inching closer to you to intimidate you
steve and robin ran to your aid to get jason away from you before you inevitably shot him in the foot or something
and off you all went, splitting up to hopefully end this all once and for all
“max…” -you
“yeah?” -max
you pulled her in for a really strong hug
“be careful, okay? i can’t lose my moping buddy” -you
“you’re not allowed to mope without me, you know?” -max
you and the rest of the crew went upside down and as much as you wanted to see the most metal concert ever, you were needed at the creel house
“you be careful, alright?” -eddie
“me? sounds like you’re underestimating me” -you
“hey, im not sure how these things play out, it’s my first time” -eddie
“you never forget your first” -you
you gave him a goodbye kiss and sped off for him to distract the bats
and within the walls of the creel house, things went south really fast
and by the time you thought everything was over, the clock chimed one last time
“no…please no…” -you, dropping to your knees
nancy tried to comfort you, but you all had to rush out as soon as possible
and when you finally did, hawkins fell into ruins
“eddie?! dustin?! lucas?? erica?? where is everyone?!” -you on the walkies
you slowly gathered together, but when you found dustin he was alone
“dustin? where’s eddie, dustin?!” -you
dustin was sobbing, he couldn’t say a word, but he had grabbed fished a ring out of his pocket belonging to eddie
“he asked me to give this to you” -dustin
you broke down into tears with him, losing two of the closest people to you in such a short span of time, the ones who had gotten you through the roughest patch of your life
dustin latched onto you and wouldn’t let go
and you soon met in the hospital to find lucas, just as shaken up as the rest of you as max lay nearly lifeless in the hospital bed
and he needed you too
“lucas, can you take a walk with me?” -you
he explained everything that happened. jason and the walkman, watching her be attacked, her last words, the miraculous return of her heartbeat
“it was my fault. i should have pulled her out but i didn’t and it was too late. she was so scared and i let her down” -lucas
and then he cried too, and you grabbed him and pulled him in the same way you did dustin. the way you did with everyone every time someone died and the same way they did to you when you lost your father
“none of this is your fault, lucas. we all did our best, but we had no idea what we were up against. but i’m here for you, okay? always and forever” -you
the next few days were insane as most people’s homes were destroyed. you were homeless, staying with the wheelers again. trying to help those less fortunate than yourself. taking care of everyone else to get your mind off of terrible losses
staring at and tracing your tattoos like you used to do with eddie
when packing up the car for donations, you turned to see a van full of (mostly) familiar faces
“el!” -you, running to hug your sister
you lifted her and spun her around
“i missed you” -eleven
“i did too. uh, what…what happened to your hair?” -you
“it’s a really long story. you’re not gonna believe it. where’s eddie?” -eleven
“he’s…oh, eleven, he’s not here with us anymore” -you
she pulled you in for another tighter hug
“y/n? still coming to the school?” -steve
“uhhh…shit, steve. i think there’s something else we need to do” -you
you and the crew went to the cabin
while dustin found uncle wayne at the school and broke the news
“where’s y/n? is she okay?” -wayne
“she’s alive, but she’s far from okay. she’s heartbroken” -dustin
“tell her to find me here when she gets the chance. she’s family to me, all i really have left. i’d like to speak to her at the very least” -wayne
you were cleaning the cabin when a car pulled up and you quickly pulled eleven behind you
you’d only just got her back
but were stunned to see your father exiting the car
“dad..?” -you
you ran into his arms and were soon joined by eleven in a family group hug
he kissed the top of your head as you finally sobbed in relief instead of grief.
there was so much for each of you to catch up on
“is that a tattoo? y/n, how many tattoos did you get?” -hopper
“i missed you?” -you, laughing through tears

It is totally normal to forget your date’s name after sleeping in his guestroom never been on a date, but i forgot someone's name after sitting next to them all day and realized after class while talking to bestie and had to wait till attendance next day -_-
ok the door is still locked. he told her to keep them locked and she did, but opened it for a sec and locked it again during the night. and the entire teleporting happened. this is a bit confusing hmmm. like opening it for a sec caused the change, but she locked it again. then how did they get her inside again? the bruise is there so it means it was real. the lock must have some magic and opening it during night causes it to go away?? i will think later lol

“Oh man! You cut me to size! Ow! My little buttercup!”
-Kenta Au once more! (Well laxo and Kenta kinda I guess) but here she is once more! Drew Fanart of her once more!
yes I added a jack stauber Song quote from buttercup cuz..she has buttercups in her hair, but also I can kinda see the song matching a little with her? Maybe I’m wrong or so but AHH MADE MORE FANART FOR KENTA! (well for the what if Au Kenta not sure how or what I should name this Au!, I decided to make a bit of a change in the Au of her hair fur? Getting more longer, so she can put more buttercups in her hair fur without them falling out when she wants! (Wanted to make her design a little different from cannon to kinda make them look different due to the changes that would happen in the first volume-)
Now onto the bit of lore I guess? For the Au! Or well the idea of what I want to do?
AU KENTA IN ASKON
Kenta is less tired, and more brightful in this Au, since she’s kinda free from the dark realm and being a trainee, she kinda socials more!
But she kinda keeps to herself at the same time, though I’d feel like she would still have a bit of fear since the day she saw her brother’s eye get ripped out by her dad..she sometimes can’t sleep at night because of the memory. Sometimes she feels like she could’ve done more, but in no way does laxo want her to feel that way, which is obvious, none of it was her fault, but everyone has doubts, and she can’t help but doubt it, even though what laxo tells her is true.
She really does her best to be there for Laxo, she knows life has been…something for the both of them, so now knowing they are…at least free from that for the moment, she wants to try and be strong for Laxo, to support him mentally, protect him like how he has protected her in their life. She’s a bit..tired like her original self, but tries her best to be mentally strong- (which sometimes overwhelms her.)
Now in no way does she think Laxo can’t be strong himself and protect himself or thinks he’s someone who needs to be protected at all times and not fight his battles…she just wants to make sure he has a shoulder to be there for him…
she’s glad he knows Kane, but…she’s scared at times, what if Kane is like….Aiden?..what if disaster falls again, what if something happens to her and laxo again?
She tries not to let the thoughts fill her mind, things are okay, and they will be..is what she keeps telling herself.
Tumblr media
Now with Kenta here, laxo sort of pushes her away, but in no way where she feels like she’s alone or anything, just he keeps how he feels sometimes bottled up just like cannon, he does talk with her and all that more than with Kane, but he tries to keep to himself still with what he deals with, for her safety and not wanting over worry her, stress her with his own issues.
And…Im sure Au Kenta’s emotional state would definitely crack during the banishment part of Laxo’s story in this Au, after everything, now she lost the only person she feels like she can trust and go to, she would feel lost…
and especially confused if she was there when laxo was getting banished/sent to the dark realm.(An idea for her in this Au, To the first volume to the third, her flowers in her hair would start to die, but won’t fall out, with Kenta still having that hope to be strong despite everything going on)
Tumblr media
. . . AHH OKAY, hopefully everything seems realistic to the characters, and hopefully I didn’t phrase anything wrong! These are just one idea/more info I had, I guess for the what if Au! (Not sure if should give it a name…) these characters don’t belong to me and are belonged to @gloomforrestrunes ! Go check out their comic runes! 0:✨
(For Slugterra content, I will be posting an artwork finally of one of the characters 👀 stay tuned for that!)

Summer Break Pt.6- Drugstore Adventures
Tumblr media
Warnings: Drug usage, smoking, profanity, some inappropriate topic (?)
<>: Flashback
————
Day 8, 1986
Slash had a heavy feeling in his chest, one which he couldn’t shake no matter how much he tried. Sitting across from Izzy at the hell house, watching his friend light up a spoon, he sighed.
“Iz man, I gotta tell you something”
“What’da do now Slash” Izzy said looking up at him, Slash wasn’t really the kind of person to speak in such a nervous manner, so Izzy knew it was bad.
“The day before Y/n saw the dude die” Slash sucked in a breath “She walked in on me Oding”
“Jesus fucken christ Slash” Izzy said shaking his head at him
“That’s not it”
“What the fuck do you mean that’s not it”
<>
“And don’t worry, I won’t tell Duff” Y/n smiled
“Yea, fuck thanks” Slash said “Thanks for not freaking out and leaving me there to die” he let out a breathy laugh.
Y/n looked over at Slash and let out a short laugh also, “Yea, this isn’t my first rodeo”
Slash, in his drugged haze, and Y/n, in her high haze, both looked at each other.
Slash let his eyes roam around Y/n’s face, until she spoke up.
“You’re looking at me for too long” She smiled
“You can’t blame me” Slash said softly, looking into her eyes
“They’re your eyes” Y/n scoffed/ laughed
“Well they can’t help it” He said, now looking at her lips.
Slash knew he shouldn’t have done it, but he did, he leaned in and kissed her, and to his surprise she kissed back, but only for a second, before pulling back.
“You’re fucked” She laughed
<>
“I don’t fucken believe you” Izzy said, looking at Slash with a shocked expression. “Not only did you Od in front of her, but you fucken kissed her!” Izzy said in a hushed voice, even though he and Slash were the only people in the house.
“Look I know it’s fucked- ”
“Yea, kissing Duffs little sister is fucked”
“What do i do?” Slash said rubbing his palms together nervously
“If she hasn’t said anything, then you don’t say anything” Izzy said looking at him “Plus Y/ns got a lot of shit going on right now, i don’t think she’s worrying about it as much as you are” he shrugged
“Yea, you’re right” Slash sighed.
“Just don’t kiss her again” Izzy smiled
“Fuck you”
*
“How long do you think we’ve been sitting here?” Y/n asked John, the pair sitting across from eachother on Johns bed.
“Im not sure” John softly said, Iggy Pops ‘Fun house’ playing in the back.
“How have you felt?” Y/n said, using her hand to move some of his hair out of his way.
“I don’t know, sad I guess” John sighed “But you’ve helped me feel better”
Y/n showed him a soft smile.
“You know what we should do?” John said suddenly
“What should we do Fru?” Y/n smiled at the boy who had now, jumped out the bed and stood in front of her.
It had been three days since the godforsaken day, and Y/n had made it her priority to help John and stay by his side. Seeing a little bit of progress, it helped her feel better.
“We should dye our hair!” John said excitedly
Y/n looked at him, still with her bright smile “Dye our hair?”
John just nodded, “And what color were you thinking Mr Frusciante?”
“Blond” He stated, as if he had just came up with the idea on the spot (which he probably did).
“That’s a good choice” Y/n said, now getting off of Johns bed. “What color do you think I should do?”
“Blond” He smiled at her.
“Fru” Y/n smiled and rolled her eyes “My brothers blond”
“Hm. Black?”
“Black sounds good”
“Alright then! let’s go” John said, handing Y/n her shoes.
“Where are we gonna get it anyways” Y/n said, forcing her foot to go into her shoe.
“Drugstore obviously” John smiled.
“huh, okay”
*
“This one?” John held up a box of hair dye to Y/n’s face.
“beautifully blond” Y/n said in a seductive voice, “Sounds perfect” She laughed.
“Wait… why do you have two boxes and I only have one” John said furrowing his eyebrows
“Hm. let’s think” Y/n said looking at him “Maybe it’s cause i got long hair” she gasp as John rolled his eyes.
“Smartass” he said
“The smartest” Y/n smiled at him
“Should i get two?”
“Nah”
*
“Hold still Fru!” Y/n said as she put the dye into Johns hair.
Y/n already had her hair up in a clip, and now she was struggling to get John to hold still. Which was damn near impossible.
“I’m trying! i just wanna see if you’re doing it right” John said as he looked at Y/n through his bathroom mirror.
“Okay how about” Y/n said as she left Johns bathroom, going into his room and grabbing his guitar, “How about you play me something while i’m doing this” she handed him his guitar.
“Fine” He said, grabbing the acoustic “what do you want me to play?”
“Anything” The girl said, splitting a section of his hair.
“Anything anything anything” John repeated to himself while looking at Y/n’s concentration face through the mirror.
“Okay” He finally said, strumming his guitar.
“That’s nice” Y/n spoke after a few moments of silence.
John smiled as he felt his cheeks heat up.
*
“Do you have a blow dryer?” Y/n said as she and John sat on his bed, a joint being passed between the two.
“Pretty sure my mom has one” He spoke as he looked at the towel on Y/n’s head. “Do you wanna use it?” He asked
“Please”
“It should be in the bathroom drawer” He said, nodding his head towards the door.
“You’re not gonna come with me?” Y/n’s eyebrows scrunched together.
“You’re the one who needs it” He told her, joint in his mouth.
“right” she said getting up and walking into Johns restroom.
Looking into the first drawer, she found it. She closed the door and began to dry her hair. Without thinking about Johns attitude.
She furrowed her eyebrows together, unsure if it was because of the hair brush going through her hair or because of the bitter feeling she felt with the way John spoke to her.
In the middle of drying her hair, the bathroom door opened.
“Are you mad at me?” John said as he looked at her.
“Why would I be mad?” She said, watching herself dry her hair through the mirror.
“Cause you never came back to my room”
“Didn’t think you wanted me there” She shrugged
“Why would you think that?” He said, trying to get her to look at him.
“With the way you spoke to me, seems like you don’t even want me to be in your house” She said, running a brush through her hair.
“I know I sounded fucked up, im sorry okay?” John said as he grabbed the dryer from her hand, turning it off.
Y/n finally looked at him, “Do you like me John?”
John was shocked at her sudden question “What?”
“Do you like me?” she asked again, softly grabbing the hairdryer from Johns hands.
John tripped over his words, “W-well yea i like you, of course I do”
“Okay, I forgive you then” she said, turning the dryer back on
“I just told you i liked you and you just-” John said as Y/n turned the dryer back off, then turned to him.
Then she kissed him.
“There you go” She said, pulling back, both of their cheeks flushed.
John looked at her with wide eyes, not only were his cheeks red, but also the poor boys ears were on fire.
He stated at her the whole time she finished drying her hair, and when she took her time putting everything back.
“Are you okay?” Y/n asked worriedly.
John just pulled her into another kiss.
They pulled away, hearts fluttering as they stared at each other.
“Yea. I’m okay”
Y/n just smiled at him.
*
“I’ll see if i can come tomorrow, I think Duffs getting tired of me leaving” Y/n said as she kicked at nothing, standing on the last step of the stair case in front of Duffs apartment.
“Hopefully you can, or maybe I can come over?” He asked her nervously.
Y/n smiled, “Maybe you can, I’ll ask Duff”
“Okay cool. See you tomorrow” John said, waiting for a kiss from Y/n, which she obviously knew it was what he wanted.
The girl looked around, and in back of her to see if anyone was there, before leaning in and kissing John.
“See you tomorrow Fru” She smiled at him, turning around and walking through the complex door.
Y/n waltz into Duffs apartment, smile on her face (which she tried to hide, considering the fact she heard all of the boys there before she walked in.)
“Hey guys” Y/n spoke softly “Like my new hair?” She asked with a smile on her face.
“Looks fucken sick” Steven smiled at her, standing up to go look at it up close.
“Thanks Stevie, where’s Duff?” Y/n asked
“I’m right- Oh my god” Duff said with wide eyes, looking at Y/n’s hair.
“Was that good or bad?” The girl asked nervously, after what happened Y/n had became quite unsure of herself, she made a mental note to look that up at the library when she goes back to Seattle.
“It’s- Its different” He said, walking towards her.
Y/n just stared up at him, not only is she the one who doesn’t look like the rest of the Mckagan clan (Her mom says she has her grandmas look), but she also didn’t inherit their height (She stood around Y/h, which wasn’t bad).
“Are you mad at me?” She said as she put her hand on her hip.
“No! no im not mad, I think you look cool” he said. Duff had been walking around egg shells with Y/n, and this being the first conversation she’s held with anyone, he’s making sure to keep the ball rolling.
“I think it makes you look mean” Axl jumped into the conversation.
“Huh” she said “That’s a good thing right?”
“Yup. Exactly why I dyed mine black” Izzy spoke, eyebrows raising as he remembered what Slash had told him earlier in the day.
“Awww Izzy & Y/n are twinsies” Steven said, picking fun at Izzy.
“I see nothing wrong with that” Izzy shrugged
“That’s the nicest thing i’ve ever heard” Y/n smiled at him.
“Okay so me calling you cool wasn’t nice” Duff rolled his eyes.
“Oh you’re right, you’re so nice Duff” Y/n smiled up at him.
“Did your little boyfriend dye his hair too?” Duff asked, smirk on his face as he watched Y/n blush.
“Fru is not my boyfriend” She quickly spoke, “But yes, he did” she yawned, covering her mouth with her hand.
“You tired?” Duff looked at her, getting a sense of Deja-vu to when they were younger.
“Yea. I’m gonna go to bed.” She said, walking past her room and into the bathroom.
“Thought she said she was gonna go to bed” Steven said
“Some people brush their teeth first Steven” Duff said as he sat down.
Steven laughed “You’re so right”
“Do you really like her hair?” Axl spoke in a hushed tone.
“Yea actually i do, i think she looks rad” Duff said
“Better hope she doesn’t attract anymore boys” Axl teasingly smiled at him.
Izzy choked on his beer, coughing to recover.
“Woah! you okay?” Steven said as he patted his dark haired friend on the back.
“Yea- yea i’m fine” Izzy cleared his throat, fucken Slash he thought.
“Honestly, I think we should meet that Fru kid” Axl said, more serious look on his face.
“I was thinking the same thing, but i don’t wanna go all crazy parent on Y/n” Duff ran his hands through his hair.
“True. We should just wait for the right moment”
“Why do you keep saying we Axl” Duff chuckled
“Goodnight guys” They group of boys turned to look at Y/n, saying their goodnights as she walked into her room.
Duff and Axl looked at each other
“Cause that’s our little sister” He smiled at his blonde friend.
Not all of ours, Izzy thought
*
“Y/n” Slash said as he saw Y/n walk into their shared room.
“Hey Slash” The girl tiredly smiled at him, “Why aren’t you with the guys?”
“Cause I um, I wanted to talk to you” He said, rubbing his palms together.
“Go on” The girl said as she put her oversized sweater on.
“I’m sorry i kissed you, i shouldn’t have done that” He spoke quietly
Y/n smiled at him, “Don’t worry about it Slash, it’s cool”
“Yea, cool” He said even quieter “I’ve missed hanging out with you”
“Me too Slash” She said, now sitting on her bed, facing him “Sorry I haven’t been around much”
“Yea” he said “That Fru kid been taking up a lot of your time”
“I know, I just-” she looked down “I feel like after what happened I just have to be there for him, but i really like him too y’know?” she spoke quietly.
“Do you like him more than me?” He asked, unsure why he was saying all this.
Y/n smiled “Don’t start a competition between you and Fru, he’s not Tracii”
“I fucken hate Tracii” Slash mumbled, smile on his face.
“Hey I forgot to tell you, remember that party Steven threw” Y/n said, suddenly remembering that she never told Slash about what had happened with Tracii
“Yea i remember, not all of it though” He winked at her as Y/n rolled her eyes.
“Shut up, but could you believe Tracii tried to kiss me?” She said as he watched his eyes widen.
“Are you serious?”
“Serious as serious can be” She said, nodding her head.
“That dudes fucken weird” He said “This is perfect, gives me another reason not to like him” Slash smiled at her.
“I knew you would say that” Y/n laughed.
Slash looked at her head, “I knew there was something different” he said, pointing to her hair.
“Surprised it took you this long to notice, you like it?”
“Looks fucken dope” he smiled at her “I like it”
“Do you like it better than my natural color?” She mocked him.
He rolled his eyes “Shut up”

moisés (sky rojo) x gn!reader, 3406 words
warnings for blood, gunshot wounds, DIY medical treatment
for day 17 of whumpril: cry for help | self treatment | ‘i can’t do this.’
a/n: the way this poor guy has no (?) fics on here at all, and im already maiming him. my god
tagging: @cositapreciosa @drabbles-mc​
part one here
Tumblr media
You left him there. You left him there, and it’s been hours, sun sinking beneath the horizon, warmth slipping into cold. He hasn’t rang you. Not even a text. He’s probably dead, right? You probably left him to die. Shirt splattered with red, arm stretched across the concrete. Gun just out of reach.
You groan, turning to push your face into the pillow. It doesn’t help to imagine it. Even if he’s alive, you might never see him again. What if’s won’t do anything but torment you, if there’s never any closure, no evidence of the alternative.
The last you saw of him, he was alive. In control. Not scared in the slightest, as far as you could tell, so that’s what you’ll remember. What you’ll cement as fact. Alive, uninjured. Unrecognisable to the man you thought you knew, but not dead, at least.
Go away with me, he said. He knew they were coming. He tried to get out, you with him, hand in hand, before they got there. That meant something, right? The Moisés you knew was holding out still, before the gunfire. Putting you and him in the sun.
‘Fuck,’ you sigh, and flop back over to stare at the ceiling. A lifetime of wondering, then. That’s what you’ve been cursed with. You won’t sleep all night, wondering if he’s alive, wondering if it was a mistake to try and know him, and then in the morning, you’ll dress. Open the shop. Sell string bags and sunglasses to tourists, then go home and wonder again.
You almost resent him suddenly, hot and striking across your chest—he could’ve told you. Could’ve given you some warning that maybe, just maybe, he wasn’t the type of guy to go on coffee dates with. To give your address to, to let brush his fingertips over you. You were half a breath away from falling for him. And the whole time, he was entwined in something dangerous enough to put you at risk. Real, true harm, only a car crash away.
It was cowardice, really, keeping it from you for his own sake. It made him a coward. Or stupid. Head so far in the clouds, he thought you’d never see the ground.
The buzzer to your flat goes, sharp and rattling through the box by the door.
You sit upright, out of the covers, to follow the sound before the first press is even complete. Then you’re in the hallway, heart thumping, when it goes again. Prolonged, this time, because whoever’s pressing it, down on street level, isn’t relenting. They’re just holding it and holding it, and it’s echoing off the walls either side of you, so loud it’s making you cringe. Wince.
You reach the door, click the camera icon on the intercom. It takes a second to warm up, grey and black fuzzing into shapes, into features. It’s him. God, it’s him. His forehead’s against the wall by the camera, but you recognise the nose, the jaw, the swinging earring.
He doesn’t lift his finger from the bell until you say his name, desperate and questioning.
‘Cariño,’ he replies, tinny through the box. It sounds like he’s panting, hissing the words out. It could be the connection. You can’t remember how it sounded before now, how people besides him, right now, spoke through it. ‘Let me in.’
Your hands are sweating, slipping from the button you press to speak back at him. ‘What happened? Are you okay?’
His head drops momentarily, before lifting again, gaze flitting about to find the eye of the camera. ‘I need your help. Please.’ He cuts himself off, panting a noise out like he’s in pain. A sound you’ve never heard him make.
You’re swinging from the door before he can ask again. Leave it open, to save time when you come back. It’s late enough in the night that you don’t have to worry about neighbours, and you’re only on the first floor, only one communal stairwell away from him.
Your feet slap against the stone as you descend, cold chilling up your bare legs. The t-shirt and gym shorts you’re wearing were never meant to leave the home, were never meant to be seen, by him of all people, riddled with moth holes and paint. It doesn’t matter. He needs you.
The latch on door at the bottom sticks, for a moment. You rattle it free, desperate, then lug the huge timber open to get at him.
‘Moi.’ It comes out like a breath.
He’s standing at half the height he usually is, his chin down to his chest, one arm stretched to prop him against the brick. You pull him forward like you’re starving, hook a hand around his shoulder to get him in from the night.
It doesn’t matter, now, that he kept things from you. That he thought he could. He’s alive, standing in front of you, and alive. You can’t wait until the door’s shut again, you have to hug him, have to feel his heartbeat against your own. You tug at him—
He holds you off, firmly, heel of his palm pressing into your collarbone. ‘Don’t,’ he bites, harder than you’d expect from him.
For a split second, you’re offended, anger flitting between your ears, but then you look down. You see why he’s stopped you.
‘Shit, Moi. Fuck.’
He’s bleeding, and a lot. So much, that you must be stupid, or blind, to have even missed it. Too caught up in the relief of seeing him, that you hadn’t really seen him at all. It’s dark down his thigh, staining one leg of his jeans, and splattered up his forearm. He’s got one palm pushed to the source of it, more red than the usual tan of his skin, tight to his stomach. The ring on his pinky looks like it’s carrying a ruby, gold hidden beneath.
‘Get me upstairs,’ he says, through the grit of his teeth.
‘What? No, we’re going to the hospital.’
He pushes a shaky breath, taking a half-step into the entry way. ‘Please.’ His cleaner hand shifts from your collar, to sit on your shoulder for support. ‘Upstairs, cariño.’
It had done you well to trust him the last time he asked something of you. You can only hope he’s making the right decision again, choosing you over the medical staff he so obviously needs.
You pull his wrist until his arm is sitting over your shoulders properly, taking as much of his weight as you can manage. Kick your foot out to shut the door behind you. It’s clumsy, messy. He’s heavier than you expected, all limp, tired muscle, that fights you with every step. If you didn’t have to, life or death, you wouldn’t manage it. You couldn’t lift him.
He’s wincing by you ear each time you go up, hissing it through the set of his jaw, but you can’t help that. This is the only way there is.
‘Sorry.’ You stagger as you reach the mid-way landing, pulling him and his heavy steps around the corner. ‘Last bit.’
He nods. His hand is still planted to the wound by his navel, but it hasn’t stopped the blood from spreading. It’s on the stairs behind you, on the second leg of his jeans, on you. It’s on you, smeared up your side somehow, and on the collar of your shirt, left from the hand he’s hanging over it. You don’t look at it. Don’t think about it. Your door is in sight, wide open and ready for you.
‘There.’ You’re breathing heavy like you’d ran, as you put him against the wall in the hallway. ‘Hold on.’
You lock the door behind, thread the chain in the latch, like that extra piece of metal will stop anyone who might’ve followed him. There’s fingerprints of red, everywhere you touch. It doesn’t matter. It’s okay. Just more paint stains to scrub out, right?
When you turn back, he’s not slumped against the wall still, but is making his way to the kitchen. Rigid, stiff with pain. He looks like he’s limping, but his legs are good, you’re sure they are, it’s the flex of his stomach that he’s trying to avoid, trying to overcompensate for.
‘Moisés, wait.’ You follow after him.
‘Do you have a sewing kit?’
‘What?’
‘Needle, thread.’ He looks over his shoulder. There’s blood on his chin, streaking down his neck. Everything he touches is marked with it.
You don’t make him ask again, disappearing into the second room you use as an office. There’s one in the drawers there, a gift from your grandma that you’ve used once and never again. You know what comes next, you can work it out, he’s going to want to use it. On himself, he’s going to stitch himself shut. Drip blood on the tiles while he threads it through his skin.
‘Here.’ You try to pass it to him now you’re back, but he just nods, and continues to manoeuvre himself around the kitchen. You put it on the side, offering a hand for support when he lifts himself onto the breakfast stool. ‘What happened?’ you ask, though you already know.
He laughs, breathy and barely amused. ‘What d’you think?’ He peels the hand away. ‘I got shot.’
‘Fuck.’
You feel the heat drain from your face, feel the room spinning slightly. There’s a hole in his stomach, staring back at you, leaking blood that’s almost black.
‘I need you to get it out,’ he pants, looking up through his lashes, ‘the bullet.’
‘What?’
‘It’s,’ he winces, repositioning himself, ‘it’s gotta come out.’
‘No.’ Your head shakes. ‘No, I can’t, I don’t know how.’
He tries to smile, nodding. ‘It’s easy, okay? I’ll talk you through it.’
But you can’t even stand straight. You’re swaying, sweating though you’re cold, goosebumps running up your arms.
‘Wash your hands,’ he says, doing his best to sound like it’s easy. Like he isn’t wasting breath and energy on instructions. ‘You have a lighter? Get a lighter, a knife, put it through the flame—’
‘Fuck, wait.’
He’s still going and you’re only at the hand washing part, scrubbing desperately. No matter how thorough you are, it still won’t work, you still won’t be clean enough to root about in his stomach.
‘Tranquilo,’ he sighs. ‘Tenemos tiempo.’
‘Do we?’ you bark back at him, flicking water as you shut off the tap. ‘You look like you’re fucking dying, Moisés.’
‘I know, I know.’ He’s pushing his hand over the wound again, feet slipping from the bar of the stool as he tries to stay on the seat. ‘If it was going to kill me, it would have.’
You don’t have to be medically trained to know that that’s bullshit. It could have damaged him elsewhere, somewhere deeper than surface level. He could drop dead in a day, or a week, regardless of how well you manage things right now.
‘Okay,’ you mutter, ‘okay, lighter, knife.’
You find them both in the same drawer and bring them back to him, like he needs to supervise the next step. As if he isn’t taking longer, slower blinks, and deeper swallows of air. He doesn’t look at you directly once you’re there, wet thumb slipping from the wheel, again and again, before you finally catch the spark.
‘Like this?’ You put the flame under the blade, waiting.
He nods. ‘Lo est—esteriliza.’ He winces, looking up after you’ve torched the metal to the point of changing colour. ‘Ta bien.’
You toss the lighter onto the counter. Now you’re standing in front of him, hands shaking slightly, with the knife poised in mid-air like you’re about to fence him, not dig a bullet from his stomach. ‘I don’t know how to…’
He lifts his hand again, wet with fresh blood, though you can’t tell how much. The bleeding has slowed slightly, maybe. You hope. He nods, groaning as he pushes his hips forward. He’s trying to flatten himself as much as the stool will allow, pulling his torn shirt away from the site.
The room swings, tilting around you. ‘I can’t do this,’ you whisper. The knife feels hot to the touch, even from the handle, it feels like gripping a scalding poker meant for cattle. ‘I can’t.’
‘You can,’ he counters, you have to, he means. ‘It’s okay.’
‘No, no, I really can’t, Moi.’ You swallow, pushing back against the rising bile. ‘You—you.’
He takes the knife from you clumsily, though his hands are far from clean, and bends to see the wound himself. You didn’t mean for him to do it, did you? You were going to say something else, you were going to—
‘Shit,’ he hisses, slipping in his seat again. The knife is wobbling in his hold, because he’s shaking more than you are. Red fingers unable to grip the thing tight enough to start.
It’s not going to work. He won’t be able to do it himself.
‘Damelo.’ You pluck it from him without waiting for an answer. ‘What do I do?’
His chest heaves, breath staggering out of him. ‘Try and feel for it,’ he says, panting between each word, ‘use the knife to lever it out.’
You don’t have time to doubt your ability anymore. He’s lagging, shaking from the pain now the adrenaline’s wearing off, and you have to do it for him. There’s no-one else he can go to, clearly. He wouldn’t be here if there was, so it’s you, or nothing.
You step between his knees, one hand on his stomach to steady you. You can’t see the bullet, obviously, just black and red, and slick wetness that you really don’t want to touch. There’s no going back now.
You put the tip of the blade into the opening and he growls, clenching his teeth around the noise. His stomach tenses beneath you, his thighs pincer around your hips—it’s all impulse, subconscious reactions that he can’t stop. The body trying to protect itself from the intruder.
‘I think I feel it.’ Hard where everywhere else is soft, it catches against the end of the knife.
‘Fuck.’ He’s huffing air from his nose, steaming like a bull. ‘Get it out.’
‘I’m trying.’
You’re cutting the edges of him, splitting the skin where it wasn’t split before, but eventually, you think you have it. The end beneath the bullet. You press down without warning, because it wouldn’t have helped anyway, and force it out. Right back the way it had come.
It doesn’t clatter to the ground, but instead rolls down his stomach, slow and wonky, to sit in his lap. It’s smaller than you expected. That, caused all this?
He says your name once. You’d been staring at it, knife away from him and in the air again, eyes on the bloodied metal on his jeans. Right, yeah. Close the wound.
The intrusion has caused more bleeding, but there’s so much already that it doesn’t make you pause. You’re the one riding on adrenaline now, reaching for the sewing kit, finding thread, a needle, while he hums in pain beside you. He’s got his lips pressed together, a whimper following each exhale he forces through his nose.
You’re beyond words now, the both of you. He doesn’t need to guide you through it. Can’t, really. And you don’t need to lie to him that it’ll only be a little longer, only be a little pinch. It’s just time to get it over with. Sew the skin together as best you can, hope the damage isn’t enough to kill him. Toes over the edge, and jump.
*
He had slept for a bit, afterwards, and you sat at the end of the bed watching him. You’d stitched the wound as best you could, but it won’t hold. It won’t do him any good in the long run.
He hadn’t wanted to wash himself once you’d finished, like you thought he should. So you’d helped him into the bedroom and cleaned what you could from his skin with a facecloth. It didn’t get it all, and he wouldn’t let you wipe too close to the site, but his hands are clean at least. His face isn’t streaked with blood anymore.
You put him in the biggest t-shirt you own, bought to be oversized anyway, and he looks like a child in it. Besides where the sleeves stretch tight over his arms, it drowns him. He slept not long after. Propped against your pillows, with the sheet up to his waist. It’d been a relief; he looked peaceful. You didn’t mind missing out on your own sleep just to watch him.
Now, though, he’s coming to. You know, because his brows are pinching slightly, twitching together as the pain returns to him. He takes a bigger breath than he should, chest lifting, stitches straining, then hisses and opens his eye.
He looks afraid for a second, shoulders tensing. Then it drops, and he sees you, and he blows a breath too forced to be real, genuine relief.
You smile limply. It’s three o’clock, the birds aren’t up yet. The room is dim still, lit with the in-between blue of night and sunrise. ‘Morning, Moi.’
The apple in his throat bobs as he swallows. Then his hand goes up, pointing, and you’re on you feet before he even has to ask. You pass him the glass from the bedside, which he takes with both hands, drinking like he’s been denied it for weeks.
‘Thank-you,’ he says afterwards, handing it back to you.
You nod and leave it on the edge of the cabinet, so that he might be able to get it himself next time. ‘Thought you might not wake up,’ you admit, returning to your post on the end of the bed. Just a hand’s distance from his covered feet. ‘So, thank-you, for not doing that. Don’t think I could explain a dead man in my bed.’
He smiles, just with his lips, because it doesn’t reach his eyes yet. ‘I wouldn’t have come,’ he says, leaving you to fill in the rest as he takes another shallow breath.
He wouldn’t have come, he means, if he thought he would die. But what would he have done instead? Crawled off into the bush like animals do, found somewhere quiet to die on his own?
You might not know him as you thought you did, but you care for him still, of course you do. You don’t want to think of him going like that, alone and in pain. The time you've spent together hasn’t been a complete waste—it can’t be, you won’t let it be. There’s something about him, about you. Something you shared over pastries in the mornings by the beach.
‘I feel like I’m sitting with a stranger,’ you admit, putting it to him quietly, like any louder and it’ll hurt him, press into the swelling beside his navel. ‘I don’t understand.’
You thought you had more to the say, but that covers it all. You don’t understand. You don’t understand why he was attacked, why he had a gun, why he kept half of his life hidden from you.
‘You have a lot of questions,’ he says, voice low and thick with sleep. Or hoarse from grunting in pain.
You nod, shy to meet his gaze.
‘Ask them.’ He shrugs, a minuscule gesture, more led by his expression than anything else. ‘I don’t want anymore secrets.’
He’s tired, you can tell, not only from the day before, the injuries, but from the combination of it all. From the weight on his back, the cost of folding mystery over his life. He wants out. Wants the truth between you, no matter the consequence.
‘If you want me to leave, after you…’ He swallows, jaw clenching as he nods, like he’s trying to convince himself of it, before putting forth the idea. ‘I’ll go. You won’t see me again.’
The knee jerk reaction is to tell him that you don’t want that, that you would’t send him away in this state—or any, really—just because of who he is. What he does. But you know that’s a self-laid trap, waiting to be stepped in. He could say anything. He could be anyone.
‘Okay,’ you reply, accepting his deal. ‘Let’s start at the beginning.’

|| My Ocs From Different Fandoms
tagged by: @fruit-of-infidelity
tagging: no one bc my friends have all already been tagged >:( but if you see this: DO IT 🔫
HI HI HI. I HAVE MILLIONS OF OCS THAT I CARE FOR AND LOVE VERY VERY MUCH, EVEN IF I DONT HAVE DEDICATED BLOGS FOR THEM! (and those that have been forgotten bc i’ve become unhappy with them, bUT THATS NOT THE POINT! ANYWAYS!)
Also this art I’ve found is OLD. eat my ass /lh
Also (x2)! A few of these were made in sort of a story I’d sometimes talk abt with a friend! But since we don’t talk much anymore, I’ve kind reworked my ocs into their own thing. (or made an attempt to without just completely redoing them).
(I won’t ramble too much these it but I want to pls enable me to do so)
I. Virek Sutcliffe (Diabolik Lovers)
Are: 18
Species: Human
Pronouns: He/Him
Desc. AHHHH MY SWEET BABY BOY. Probably my most known oc idk. BUT YEAH. he acts as an alternate protagonist after you complete all the contact in the More, Blood game :D He’s a former experiment, who ended up in Kaminashi completely by chance. It’s the similar case of “wrong place, wrong time”, except with Virek comes a lot more chaos than usual. My entire purpose for him was to incite more animosity between the families, and indirectly cause Karl’s plans to absolutely fail. (which in the end he’s happy about bc he hates that guy).
but yeah. he’s a silent, odd, and downright IRRELEVANT and MISSABLE character, but so much so that he attracts chaos and eeriness and just freaks some of these guys out in the worst way. yeah :) (no art bc im still redesigning him).
II. Rowhin (Diabolik Lovers)
Age: 19
Species: Questionable!
Pronouns: They/Them
Desc. It’s a self insert imma be so honest. Its a s/i for richter bc i am down TREMENDOUSLY and delusional 😞 They act as a servant for them bc they met him at a convenient time. Technically they’re supposed to be helping him advance his plans to reunite with Cordelia. But you know. things don’t go that way and those two silly fucks end up catching a tiny teaspoon of feelings. (In which Richter will never actually admit bc it’s RICHTER. but i’m delusional and greedy so i can do what i want 🙄🤷)
(no art bc i hate my previous designs; drawing myself makes me so picky).
III. Avard (Genshin Impact)
Tumblr media
Age: Not specific (between 20 and 30)
Species: Human
Vision: Anemo
Origins: Khaenri’ah (birth), Monstadt (raised)
Desc: Yes ik I said his vision is anemo but in the photo is cryo. there’s a reason for that its bc he’s faking that’s not his. ANYWAYS. Bro’s technically from Khaenri’ah, but remembers absolutely nothing (and probably never will)— So he doesn’t consider it home since he has no connection to it.
Instead he was raised by a father and son in Springvale. But unfortunately after getting in between a father/son quarrel and trying to prevent it from escalating, he obtained a vision ‼️ and ofc nothing goes right and he couldn’t actually gain control over it, so he did de-escalate it. his adoptive father and newfound best friend died 🤷
so he ran away, changed his appearance and his name, and became sort of a scholar?? not really. he just wants to find some kind of answer as to why he feels out of place. he’s one of those characters that’s on the road with traveler a lot, but doesnt actually get involved unless it’s useful for him.
IV. Khalid (Genshin Impact)
Tumblr media
Age: Not specific (mid 20s — early 30s)
Origins: Sumeru
Vision: Electro
Pronouns: Hey/They
Desc: Bro’s a ghost. Okay not like. Fr a ghost. But he’s like. NEVER SEEN?? He had one terrible day during early akademiya days and said “guess i’ll die” /j. He’s technically a Haravatat scholar, despite his methods of doing things being more fitted for Rtawahist; he just joined the former bc it had the least amount of students to worry about.
He keeps to himself mostly, rarely every actually being seen at the Akademiya. (he’s there he just. doesn’t wanna be noticed 😭 people do NOT like this man). People also refuse to believe that he’s the author behind all of these genuinely well done and thought out articles bc they think he’s a wacko, whatever. 😭 Bro refuses most of his summons unless he feels like coming, and just spends time stargazing, thats if. Bro’s a nerd 😞
Oh also his vision story is very stupid. Bro electrocuted himself with a toaster one day, said fuck it, and found his vision lying on his doorstep whenever he went outside again.
V. Zone (One Piece)
Tumblr media
Age: Late 20s
Species: Human
Affiliation: Marines
Devil Fruit: None
Pronouns: He/They
Desc. Bro’s just a marine idk what to tell you. NAH BUT ‼️ He used to be affiliated w Doflamingo’s crew. But after a friend he made turned him over to the marines as a kid (they didn’t wanna see him grow up to be like Doffy. as they should’ve) Zone was just raised to be a marine.
Which is like cool whatever. Yada yada bro grows up training w them. BUT THEN WHENEVER HE TURNS LIKE?? 23?? BRO GETS DRAFTED INTO THE SAME DIVISION SMOKER IS IN AND LOSES HIS MIND 😭 Bro is aggressively homosexual for captain smoker and that is his ONLY personality trait /j
nah but he’s one of those people who’s super loud, energetic, and obnoxious. but then when he’s fighting or focused he’s eerily quiet. everyone’s like “damn i guess he can be serious.” (they take those words back as soon as work is finished).
VI. Nero (Fandomless)
Tumblr media
Age: Unknown, (early to mid 20s physically)
Species: Vampire
Pronouns: They/He
Desc. Previously a DL oc, i made him fandomless just for my own mental health. BUT! Nero is a Vampire & an artist. He specialises in painting and sculpting, and has made some of the most beautiful things the underworld has ever seen. Except none are marketed as his.
He was taken in by a prominent family of artists, who are going through a dilemma when the eldest son just ABSOLUTELY SUCKS. So in exchange for a home, and the ability to do what he likes, he acts as a secret proxy for the eldest. But yada yada things happen and an ‘accident’ ends up taking place, and Nero is taken in by someone else. Bro has to regain his love for the arts again, while also learning to be treated as something MORE than just a set of hands to make things :). (also i hate this design sm i wanna change it).
VII. Rook (Fandomless)
Tumblr media
Age: Unknown
Species: Also Unknown
Pronouns: Literally make them up Rook does NOT care
Desc. There’s not much too Rook other than them being a jester who pulls lethal silly pranks by trapping people in playing cards and swapping them around! Nah but to be completely serious, i love playing around w just full fantastical and magical characters, and Rook is one of them. Bro is technically a criminal, but hey they’re a jester you can’t arrest them!!!! it’s just a joke!!!
They wander around to every which place and just have a grand ‘ole time toying with people. But sometimes they will trap you inside of a playing card and use you for a trick! You may die! But it’s fine it’s just a joke!!!—
Oh! And they don’t speak. They only jingle. They got jingly shoes, jingly hat. Yeah. (also idk if that is a mask, or just their face. Make smth up).
IX. Bonnie (Fandomless)
Age: mid 20s
Species: Human
Pronouns: They/Them
Desc: I don’t have a drawn out design for them, but I do have some general thoughts!! They live on a planet who’s population is incredibly advanced. BUT! Their basically a nobleman im a highly futuristic society, that has a general distaste of cyborgs. (Even minor things like bionic limbs). Unfortunately for them, they have a bionic eye (well its more like those things you see in dragon ball. but whatever) 🤷. Oops, big ‘ole issue when you’re the child of a man who has to run an entire planet’s population‼️
VIII. Pyro (Fandomless)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Age: 26-ish (probably older??)
Species: Alien (humanoid, technically. but he is supposed to be a fire guy)
Pronouns: Hey/They (wouldn’t care if any others are used though).
Companion: Kalixo (added him bc i love this little dude and him and Pyro are a PACKAGE DEAL)
Desc: In the same universe as Bonnie ‼️ He’s a fire-oriented alien from a planet of different elemental guys, who each specialise in their own type of art. His specifically being welding/engineering. Unfortunately bro’s planet was DECIMATED when he was a child, BUT DON’T LOSE HOPE— he can just rebuild it 🙄 bc building is what he does 🙄 he’s just a funny, silly, heart on his sleeve guy who adores building.
Like Bonnie, he also has bionic body parts :D specifically mechanical legs! As a kid, he had a condition that made his legs increasingly weaker as he grew, so being the amateur master craftsman he was, he just made himself new ones. AND they’re fire powered because he’s cool 🤷 ( also his human form isnt what he actually looks like. his family specifically just chooses it bc fire is scary to others!)
ALSO! HE HAS A CAT. bro has a cat named Kalixo, who’s just a wandering spirit that likes being a cat form and being lazy and doted on. bro met pyro bc pyro was DUMB and ran into him (kicked him) by accident and cried for hours. Now he follows him around and acts as a voice of reason to keep pyro from being too STUPID.
X. Ezekiel (Fandomless)
Tumblr media
Age: Unknown (thousands of years old)
Species: Vampire
Pronouns: He/Him
Desc. A lot of my followers came here from DL, so vampires should be your thing. HOWEVER! EZEKIEL HERE IS A BIG ‘OLE BABY. A vampire who refuses to drink blood from humans, because be doesn’t want to put himself, or anyone else, in that kind of vulnerable position. He also: is a recluse. Seriously, a HERMIT. He holds himself up in an abandoned library that full of spirits and ghosts, and does not LEAVE.
He also doesn’t speak. He passes notes. And if you somehow stumble in he will HIDE FROM YOU and maybe throw paper balls at you until you leave :3

Empty
back with another writing piece (i mean, in a "non traditional" format but still)!! its for my flight rising clan lore.
it's about the topic of empathy vs compassion, something im very passionate(ha) about as an autistic person. i frankly hate how people are so commonly demonized for having/expressing low empathy and i felt like expressing my feelings on the matter here. enjoy :)
content warnings for: potentially disturbing themes and mentions of death/murder, mainly. also the beginning might induce paranoia for some, and i want to preface by saying that the statement at the beginning is completely fake and part of the fiction. please proceed with caution or scroll past if you're susceptible to that kind of stuff.
Monitor receivers picked up unusual activity yesterday at 17:38, unfinished_room A3. Unusual activity is to be archived and uploaded to the Security Monitor II designated audio file compartment.
These files are only to be accessed by authorized personnel. Any suspicion that information has been transferred to unauthorized third parties will be immediately followed by termination of all parties involved.
Do not bypass this warning screen.
I’m just trying to do my job.
> Can I talk to you?
> Go ahead.
> It’s about something that happened. Earlier. You're the only person I feel like I can trust with these kinds of things...
> How 'early' ago was it?
> Two hours and thirty-five minutes ago. Ugh, I hate that I can just… do that now.
> What happened? Was anyone hurt? Does anyone need medical attention?
> …Not anymore.
> Explain.
> …You have to promise you won’t hate me, Bloody.
> Hate?
> …
> I frankly have seen too much to be disturbed these days. I can’t imagine anything you do would make me hate you. I haven’t felt hatred for anyone else in a while, really.
> …
> I’m not convincing, I know. Really, you have nothing to lose but your job, and knowing this shithole, I have a feeling you’d see that as a bonus.
> Alright. Well. I watched someone die.
> …Did you, now?
> It couldn’t have been my fault. I just couldn’t do anything about it.
> And you’re aware they are capable of bringing the dead back to life?
> That’s the thing. They aren’t gonna do that.
> Ah.
> She’s gone forever.
> Are you alright?
> …
> Well. 
> To be honest, I’ve felt nothing.
> So that’s why you look worried.
> It can’t be normal.
> From what I’ve heard, no.
> It can’t be right.
> What is “right”?
> I should have cried. Everyone was.
> Not everyone does.
> I should have saved her.
> But could you?
> I can’t be a good person.
> Are you not listening to me, CF?
> …
> Sorry.
> So, you felt nothing but wanted to do something?
> I didn’t do anything.
> But you wanted to.
> I guess.
> So what do you think makes you a bad person?
> Well… I felt nothing. That’s horrible… isn’t it? I felt nothing when I should’ve felt something. I should’ve cried. I should’ve screamed. I should be shaken by the fact that I’ll never hear her voice again. I just feel nothing.
> Why didn’t you save her?
> I’m supposed to be a weapon. That’s my purpose. I can't save people. They might think I'm useless.
> Did you kill her?
> No. I could only watch.
> Did you want to?
> Of course not.
> Then let me ask again: why do you think you’re a bad person?
> I felt nothing.
> And yet you knew it was wrong. You wanted to do something.
> I was too much of a coward to do anything.
> Then your worst crime is simply being a coward.
> But it can’t be normal to feel nothing.
> Well, I guess it isn’t. But that doesn’t make it bad, does it?
> I don’t know. I still think it’s bad.
> Here. I have an example for you.
> Two men watch a dog get run over by a car. One man has empathy but no compassion. The other has compassion but no empathy.
> The first man feels overwhelming sadness and grief for the dog, but walks along and moves on with his day, deciding not to interact with the situation any further. The second man doesn’t feel much of anything personally, but knows that the right thing to do is to immediately identify and contact the owner of the dog, and then bring the dog to a medical professional if necessary. Who do you think did the “right thing”?
> …
> …Probably the second man.
> So you understand. The fact of the matter is that, no matter how sorry one may feel, their internal emotions will do nothing to help an outside situation compared to the actions they decide to take. You seem to have a lack of empathy, but your compassion for others exists despite that. I still think you’re a good person, CF.
> …But I didn’t do anything. I let her die. I was too much of a fucking coward to do anything.
> You wanted to do something. You didn’t because you were scared. You still had that desire to help, did you not? You aren’t a bad person. You’re just scared.
> …
> I get scared all the time, too. It makes me do some shit I seriously regret. But it’s inevitable, all living beings are just like that. We’re driven by fear.
> …I’m scared.
> Of…?
> I’m scared that I feel nothing. I’m scared that I’ll continue to feel nothing. I’m scared of being… empty.
> I understand.
> I just don’t know. What should I do if I continue to feel nothing? 
> …Live. If the world moves on, so will you.
Recording end. 8 minutes 26 seconds.

HELLOOOO !! Can i ask for a Tokyo revenger male romantic matchup? I use she/him, im ENTP (or enfp im not sure😭) and Leo. My hobbies : watching TV series, movies , listening to music, shopping and playing videogames. Im really energetic, like the weird chaotic type.. i mostly like to argue for fun and i find really hard saying sorry first, i love complimenting and helping others when needed. My type in someone Is either someone the opposite or just like me, I HOPE I DIDNT WRITE TOO MUCH, HAVE A GOOD DAY💋
1000 Follower Event Matchup #22
This event is CLOSED. You can find the masterlist for it here.
Note: Hey! If you're still around and manage to see this, thanks for waiting and hope you enjoy! You didn't write a lot at all, no worries :)
Tumblr media
I match you with RAN!
Runner ups: Baji or Sanzu (mostly just Ran though)
Ran:
Tumblr media
Listen…I don’t know much about him, but based on the fics I’ve read on him and the snippets I’ve seen of him in the manga…I think he fits you pretty well
Watching netflix together, he’s down
Shopping together? You got it, and he’ll even pay for everything that you want–if your eye even gazes at something for too long, he’s adding it to the pile
He probably won’t join in and play video games with you, but he will watch you play with a smirk on his face, enjoying the way your expressions change when you die in the game or if another player/character annoys you–he’s very much entertained
Chaotic energy? He’s here for it
This man thrives on the arguments you try to start with him–you hardly ever get him riled up–he finds it attractive and probably plays along until you’re satisfied and ready to make up
As for you not being able to apologize first, he doesn’t even need an apology so it’s completely forgotten
I can’t picture him getting upset at you anyway so this relationship is a breeze
He also loves to compliment you, so get ready to receive so many spontaneous compliments (he hypes himself up too idk why)
The only time you catch him off guard is when you help him out or go out of your way to do something for him–he’d genuinely be shocked and kinda malfunctions a little bc ??? what are you doing???
Idk, I think you’d be cute together

-
TLOU EP2
people have said this ep is really good and intense so I’m excited
HERE WE GO
where are we
OH JAKARTA
we going back to two days before it broke out it looks like cause the 24th
Oooh police? What did she do
I think every ep is gonna start with a flashback so that’s cool
or is she like a doctor or something and knows something about the fungus?
she looks distressed?
Ibu ratna okay. Prof of mycology so they need her to inspect the cordyceps or something
I remember seeing a pic of her floating around
my episode froze why
Ophiocordyceps
A HUMAN?
cant survive in humans suree
oh dear is this person gonna be a clicker already or something
oh no okay it’s just her corpse
EUGH I hate surgery stuff and cutting like that
is she gonna wake up I fear
This is so gross please
OH MY FORHDKF that’s horrifying
bro I feel sick wth
FLOUR AND GRAIN FACTORY people were right
so she bit three people and they were all taken into observation
oh fourteen that’s a lot
listening carefully
“There is no vaccine” you’re damn right thank you joel
BOMB alright cool
it’s gonna be hiroshima all over again
was that too much im sorry
no she wants to be with her family before they all die :(
INTROOOOOO
oh the music. gustavo I love you
I cant skip this intro it’s too good man
and the little Joel and Ellie <3
alright back to reality
look at her sleeping. she’s so tiny
they really put butterflies everywhere in this show
her bed hair 😭
did they just shove her in a room or something and tell her to go to sleep
OH THEYRE STARING AT HER AOFHSKDHJER
I feel like I just experienced whiplash
oh cause she’s infected
sir that’s the second time you’ve aimed a gun at her in the last two days
im only 11 minutes in at this rate I’ll never get through this episode
“Don’t worry about that” “well I’m gonna” 😭
“there’s not gonna be anything bad in here” “just you” “oh funny” STOPPP I cant wait to get moments like these where they’re smiling
Joel :((
holy crap. “You need to stop talking about this kid like she’s got some kind of life in front of her”
“Guess not you guys” 😭
joel being scared of Tess going over to Ellie bc he doesn’t want her to get hurt :( the end of this ep is gonna suck real bad
“You must’ve heard that he wants to shoot you” :(
THE FACE PALM
“She told me not to tell anybody and now I’m telling the first people that i-“ this is so Ellie. it’s about the vaccine isn’t it
YUP
Joel knowing exactly what she was saying 😭
FUCK YOU MAN I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS THATS FROM THE GAMEEEE
Tess having to be their mediator
I GET IT!? damn no
her making the clicks 😭
I can’t believe I get to see my little comfort character in live action whisper an “okay” and throw his hands outwards. I love you joel miller
ILL JUST THROW A SANDWICH AT THEM
the chirping birds :)
I hope there’s a little instinctive moment where Joel protects her this ep. IM YEARNING FOR IT (I got it :D)
man those buildings look gnarly
I love how Joel just keeps walking while Tess indulges her questions. he’s so annoyed 😭
they’re such a little family 🫶🏻
oh I’m dumb I had captions this whole time and never put them on
GUSTAVOOOO
NO YOURE JOKING THE LITTLE GIRAFFE TOY. REALLY. REALLY NEIL.
Joel’s just causally eavesdropping cause he won’t talk to her directly but is also still curious
TESS IS SUCH A MOM
Riley :/
you got some balls on you sister 💀
I know I said this last week but Joel really has the “too tired for this shit” plastered on his face all the time and it’s delightful
the scenery is phenomenal
ooh mention of spores
they’ve really got the whole “Ellie bombarding them with questions and inquiring about every little thing” down
OOH CLICKER CLICK. that was loud too
AW LITTLE DUCKS LOOK AT THEM
and a frog too 😭
OH YEHA SHE CANT SWIM
“Have you heard of books?” 💀 he’s SO done with her
NO SMART ASS. his little jump to show her it’s not deep 😭
HIM REACHING HIS HAND TO HELP HER UP <33333333
HE PULLED AWAY SO AGGRESSIVELY
this whole set is so good
YOU TRY CLIMBING TEN FLOORS WITH OUR KNEES. they’re so old this is so cute
ARE WE GONNA GET HIM BOOSTING YHEM UP YES
he won’t even grab her shoulder to shove her aside. mans grabbed a fist full of her hoodie and backpack 😭
“I’m gonna need a few minutes” boy I hope this joelellie convo goes well
ELLIE STOP FLIPPING THE KNIFE
“The circus” he’s so tired
AWW HONESTY ABOUT WHERE HES FROM <3
he’s downplaying her knowledge so much I love this
NOT HER ASKING ABOUT THEM
“PASS”
“no more questions about me” :(
this direction is beautiful. neil I take back anything bad I’ve said about you
OH I THOUGJT YOU WENT TO SCHOOL. he’s so snippy
was that a hint of him smiling. was it. or is my brainrot convincing me of things. WAS IT. she said it’s a really shitty one and it cuts to him I SWEAR THE LOOK ON HIS FACE AND HIS EYES I SWEAR
“sometimes” :( he looks like he’s thinking abt sarah
their height difference bro I can’t wait til they hug
NO WAS SHE BIT BACK THERE?? or no
im trying to cut these into small sections so… next section I guess?
wow. that’s a lot of bodies
all the infected noises wow
wow that’s incredibly scary
ooh the fungus being like a hive mind sort of thing? Interesting
MUSEUMMM
ooh he was testing it
“did Marlene pack you one of these or just sandwiches?” 😭
“I HAVE A SPARE HAND” “CONGRATULATIONS” they’re so funny. if y’all could see the grin on my face
this is so spooky
that guy is messed up
JOELS FACE SHUSHING HER
“from this point forward, we are silent” yes sir whatever you say sir <3
this building is really falling apart
Joel turning back to look a them :’)
these first two eps have a lot of trailer shots which is good
the bodies look so gnarly
why did Joel look so soft opening that door. he just looks so 🤏🏻
oh look, a rare untouched room. not for long
CLICKER TIME RIGHT?
him helping Ellie up :’’’)
wow that’s a gorgeous shot of their lights lighting up the dust from the debris
oh my gosh dude
DUDE THE CLICKER ISBSO GOOD
joel has a tear in his eye telling her to be quiet. I might just 🕳👩‍🦯
ITS SO FREAKY
NOT A SECONF ONE?
it’s right there EUGH
they look so good dude
he sees Ellie he’s going over to get her
his backpack almost hit her in the face 😭
ITS SO CLOSE TO HIS FACE
CLOSE YOUR MOUTH JOEL
this is a serious scene but I can’t help but look at Ellie holding the flashlight on the clicker while joel fires and immediately being reminded of all the times my dad has had to fix something and I have to hold the flashlight over his shoulder while he yells at me to hold it better
HIM GRABBING HER TO PUSH HER BEHIND HIM
oh she was bit a second time I THOUGHT SHE WAS
“If it was gonna happen to ONE of us” mmmm not quite true
ROOF SCENE ROOF SCENE ROOF SCENE ROOF SCENE
“For once, maybe we could actually win” :/she’s acting like this bc she’s bit and she doesn’t get to win
WORD FOR WORD? WORD FOR WORD!
he looks sm softer looking at her :(
THE WATCH GLANCE
that ladder is so unstable
last ten mins
man she’s in such a rush to get there :/ Joel’s suspicious
EUGH was that crushing his head? sheesh
that bloods looking pretty fresh
oh here we go
oh that’s disgusting okay
Here we goooo
“That’s not my home” why does it look like that broke Joel.
OUR LUCK HAD TO RUN OUT SOONER OR LATER

for my future soulmate.
Hi darling. 
whoever you are and wherever you are, u know what,  I can't wait to meet you. or, Hey, we've never met before? have we? or have we ever been together? or you could just be my boyfriend now :)
well, whoever you are, know that I'm improving myself for you. for our little family. Oh yeah, I'm about to graduate high school now. you? what is your activity? what are your dreams? I hope we can unite your dreams and mine and make them come true, Aamiin.
I won't ask for all kinds of things if later we can live in one house. definitely working. As long as you don't get too tired, man, your face will definitely super cute when  you're tired, I'll help you later, dont worry, ok hunny? just so u know im super picky with food but if u tired after work and all u just can make is, just a fried rice, I'll definitely eat it. as long as it'sform ur magical hand, baby. anyway, I'm not going to force you to be able or master to cook, I prefer that we always cook together after we get home from work or when we want to go to work even tho  we can watch tutorial cooking on YouTube. Haha Oh yeah, I really like babies, I don't want to delay having a baby, so as much as possible and as soon as possible you have to make me pregnant. PUT BABY TO MAY BELLY!!!!!  :)*Wow. I'm so aggressive,. 
babe, I want you to be my partner if our baby cries in the middle of the night. but the part of changing our baby's diaper is still you, the problem is I can't stand the smell, even though my own child. duuhhhhh, I can die smelling our baby poop     :(((
Every month, I will give you a gift, even though it's not expensive, the important thing is it can be useful for you. You can't  just accept me as I am, no. you have to demand that I be better every day. are you ready not to be an outlet when I'm PMS? or when I'm Upset and jealous. Yes, I'm superrrr jealous. It's okay for us to fight every day as long as after that we make it up again, if you don't want to make it up you can't sleep in the same bed as me. Ehehe I'm kidding. Hey, I don't know what your physical form is like yet, I like the half-breeds, uh, but local ones like it too. you must be one of them. For sure, I will always treat you well. love u honey. bye gtg to class mwaah.
