you're so fucking cool (warren rojas x reader)

3.2k words fem!afab!reader warnings: smut, p in v, oral (m&f receiving), unprotected sex an: send me requests or something. idk. insane lack of smut for all this guys on here. sickening. also this is based on the show not the book don't hate i don't read.

The sunshine was something that you were used to. Feeling the streams of light and heat soak into your skin was comforting. A lily of Southern California, it made you adept to warmth. Especially the humid warmth of rockstar house parties. Parties full of wine and cheese and sweaty dancing with men in fur coats and breaths filled with secondhand smoke.

You met Warren at one of these very parties. He knew the band, he said. You had no idea what band he was talking about, only attending the party in a short dress and thigh high boots to accompany your friend and her newfound semi-strange boyfriend.

He introduced himself to you. Asking you questions about yourself that weren’t obscenely sexual. Something that didn’t happen to you very often. Not in this social scene, anyway. You talked with him. Flirting back when he would flirt with you, and trying very hard to not blush when he did eventually compliment your legs.

He didn’t think you had noticed the glaringly obvious glances down to your breasts, but who was he kidding? Maybe he was a lot more high than he thought.

After that night, you’d been attending small parties and dinner dates with Warren for the past couple of weeks, at first so casually, almost as if you were friends more than you were fuck buddies.

What were you two?

Warren’s bandmates, Karen especially, constantly probed if he had asked you to be anything more than his 3am phone call and most consistent plus one in months.

It was something that you didn’t want to think too much about, thinking it a waste of mental energy to worry about what you could ever mean to a rockstar. You’d met so many, slept with so many and every one was the same as the last. You only had to make the mistake of wondering “what you were” with one or two of them before getting the message. You couldn’t wonder. It didn’t matter what you wanted to be, rockstars have to have an ego.

You could already tell Warren was different though, and that was confusing. He was so kind to you. It seemed genuine, and you couldn’t help but wonder and think about him on days that you weren’t with him.

Yes, there were the obvious reasons you never wanted him to leave your mind. He was gorgeous. No getting around that. He was one of the only men you had ever met who seemed to know what he was doing. Not only in his confidence about his band or about his move across the country but in his ability to make you cum.

All by himself.

It was as if someone had given him lessons, in which case, you wanted to send her a message of gratitude. You genuinely loved tangling your hands in his hair, you craved the feeling. Like you had placebo’d yourself into associating the texture of his hair on your fingers with the pleasure that would run down your legs and up your spine when he fucked you.

Now, whenever you kissed him while outside smoking, and a hand ran through his hair, your pussy would tingle in pleasure and you had to keep yourself from being so obvious and clenching your thighs together.

He picked you up from your apartment at around 9pm. It was dark, but humid and the air smelled like warmth and exhaust. He was riding in back of his bandmate, Eddie’s, car. You noticed a girl, you presumed Eddie’s date, was riding in the passenger seat when you got in the back with Warren.

“Hi!” He smiled as you got on and you smiled back.

“Hi, War. Hi Eddie!” You slid into the middle seat, rather than the right, so you could sit closer to Warren and he instinctually puts his arm around your back.

“Hi, Y/N,” Eddie puts his hand on the back of the passenger seat to look out of the back window and back at you to smile.

“This is my date, Catherine,” he glances at the girl in the passenger seat and you nod at her. She nods back and says, “Cat, actually,” with a small laugh.

The music turns up a bit and Cat and Eddie start talking. You finally look at Warren next to you and he gives you a big smile. He puts the cigarette between his fingers up to your lips and you take a drag before breathing the smoke into your lungs.

You had missed him. It was way too early into whatever this was to say that to him, but you had. You felt his rough, callused fingertips on your back, extremely close to your breast. He knew what he was doing.

You leaned into him. slowly placing your hands on his thigh that was next to you. You moved your fingers gently, slowly inching them higher as he laughed at you.

“I missed you,” he laughed.

You were caught off guard.

“You just saw me a couple of days ago,” you say, trying not to sound like you agreed with him as much as you truly did.

“Yeah, but you were wearing significantly less clothing then,” he winked, “You look really good.”

“So do you! This fur vest is incredible,” you complimented.

“I just got it! The single’s been doing amazing on the charts, man,” he says. You can tell he’s excited and by the way Eddie smiles in the rearview mirror, you can tell he’s excited too.

The drive isn’t too far. It’s to a house that Warren has never taken you to before. He gets out of the car first and you accept the hand he offers you to help you out before slamming the car door shut.

You hold his hand as he gets some drinks out of the trunk and switch to hooking your arm around his muscular one as you walk up to the entrance. Once inside, you’re almost immediately greeted by a slender woman with long brown hair who gives a hug to Warren, making you unhook your arm from his.

She introduces herself to you and gives you the most radiant smile that you think you’ve ever seen. You immediately trust her. After chatting for a bit, Warren leads you into the kitchen to pour you a drink which you accept immediately.

“Camila is Billy’s wife,” he explains while leading you through the sitting room filled with people.

“Oh, I get to meet the rest of your band tonight?” you ask.

“Hopefully!” His face lights up when he sees Graham and Karen cross the room to the two of you. “Here’s the rest of them!” He plants a firm hand on Graham’s back as Graham reaches a hand out to shake your and introduce himself. Karen nods her head at you, looking you up and down in a slightly drunk and mostly intimidating way. You and Warren talk with them until Karen asks Graham if he has a cigarette and Graham eagerly offers her one and they make their way across the room.

“Everyone is very nice.” You take a long drink from your glass and Warren looks at you thoughtfully.

“I’m really glad you’re finally getting to meet everyone,” he takes the empty glass from your hands and sets it on a nearby table.

“Me too,” you say and make the decision to wrap your arms around his neck. You kiss him, not very hard, but his arms immediately reach around you and one hand lands on your low waist, while one lands on your ass. You deepen your kiss, curling one of your fingers in his hair. You pull away, breathing a bit before kissing him again, softer this time.

“We just got here,” he whispers in your ear, hints of a giggle on his breath.

“I thought you said you missed me,” you looked at him with wide eyes, blinking a couple times before pulling away from him, not before subtly grabbing at his crotch.

He gulped before catching your wrist in his hand.

“Follow me.”

He led you down a hallway and into a room that looks hardly slept in. Before you can even say a word, his hands are on your cheeks and his lips are pressing into yours.

“I can hardly stand seeing you wearing this dress anymore,” he unzips the back after pulling away from your face. Though the dress originally was low cut, when your tits pop out of the dress he has to keep himself from staring.

He starts grabbing at them with one hand while the other continues to pull your dress off your body. His lips reconnected with yours and his tongue is in your mouth. It’s moving more gently than his hand, which he uses to squish your tit in his fingers. You step out of your dress, which is now on the floor, in just your panties and boots, still kissing Warren. Your hand is on his arms and your eyes remain closed the entire time.

There’s a trust you have with Warren that you don’t typically have with other men. It’s so uncommon. You can’t explain any feeling that you have right now besides the wetness in your panties and the heat pooling in your stomach.

You start to push him back onto the bed, until he’s sitting on the edge and you’re immediately squatting down to undo his belt buckle and pull his pants and boxers down. His cock is hard, you can’t tell for how long but by the small whimper you hear from Warren’s throat you can guess it’s been more than a minute.

You immediately place a warm hand around the base while gathering saliva in your mouth. His hands find your hair as you lick the precum from his tip.

“Holy shit,” he breathes as you lick from the tip of his cock down the bottom and back up again. You place the head in your mouth and swirl your tongue around the top.

The precum tastes salty and warm. You bob your head around his dick for a couple of seconds, feeling a little bit of saliva pool on the edges of your mouth. He grabs you by your hair gently and pulls your mouth off his cock. You open your eyes, having them closed previously in concentration.

With the lack of warmth to the rest of your body, your nipples have become hard and sensitive, he gently moves his fingers around your breast, making you breathe shakily.

“Hey,” he smiles and you smile back, bashfully.

You put his dick back in your mouth, forcefully and he lets out a quiet moan before leaning back and saying, “You’re so fucking good at this.”

The compliment heats your core and start gently pulling at the base of his cock while moving your head backwards and forwards at the same speed.

He starts breathing a little heavier when you take the tip out of your mouth while a soft popping sound. You stand as he sits back up a bit and start to take your boots off. He watches you bend over, your ass facing him and your thong giving him a view of the entire thing. He licks at his lips, giddy, and feeling something that he doesn’t normally let himself feel about women he sleeps with.

When your boots are off you turn back to him. Your instincts want you to cover yourself with your hands, but you resist. He’s so happy you do and he reaches a hand out to you and pulls you to sit on his lap. He immediately notices the wetness on your panties between your legs and smiles.

His fingers, callused and rough slide their way down your stomach and into your panties. He fumbles a bit before finding your clit, but when he does, he knows and immediately you wish you could cross your legs because he’s rubbing at your wet clit and you’re breathing a lot more heavily than you were before.

You kiss him again, and he kisses back. Your arm snakes its way around his back and you tug on the curls, moaning a bit into his mouth as you pull and he smiles between wet kisses. He lays you down close to the center of the bed after pulling his fingers out of your panties and licking them clean with his tongue.

You stare as he pulls the fur vest off of his body, tossing it way more flippantly than he probably should, considering how much you think he bought it for.

You can more clearly see his chest hair, thin but covering his chest in soft curls and leading downward to his belly. You hum, delighted, when he lowers himself onto you and kisses you softly. Immediately taking your hands and rubbing them up and down on his chest. Just as you suspected, his skin is soft, smooth and warm. Slightly damp from the sweat, but it’s not as if you probably feel any different.

Warren swirls his tongue in your mouth. Thick sounds of kissing and the bed squeaking are all you can hear as you reach down his chest to his happy trail and below to gently pull on his hard cock as you kiss. He begins to kiss at your check then neck, stopping to suck right below your collarbones. He kisses your body between moans as you pull gently at his cock, only stopping to spit into your hands to lube them.

He shudders and stops where he’s sucking at your chest when you begin to roll your thumb over the tip.

“Y/N,” he breaths heavily.

You look up at him, the same big eyes you used when talking to him back in the living room.

His hands wander to the panties around your pussy. He feels them on your hips and starts pulling them down gently. You let him pull them as far he can and he looks at you with his big brown eyes. Your mouth gapes, breathing softly for air.

His eyes and your lips are full of desire. His hand reaches up to your mouth as he sticks his pointer and middle finger in your open mouth. You close your mouth with him and lick around his fingers, in swirls, the same way you just had is cock in your mouth.

You can feel his slender fingers in your entrance and you let out a small grunt, leaning back slightly to find a more comfortable position. You take a deep breath when you feel his nose and mustache tickle at this skin of your pussy. His fingers go deeper and it takes everything in you not to let a moan when his tongue finds your clit. That same swirling motion that you’ve used countless times on him, he uses on your clit and while your legs bend open and apart your hands again find his curls. His mustache rubs on your skin and you hum and breathe his name.

He smiles against you and he begins fucking you with his fingers. His long, slender fingers. His strong, pretty fingers. You can hardly take it until you’re pushing against his face with your hips. Your eyes close instinctually, focusing intently on the pleasure in your hips, your mind swimming in ecstasy.

“You’re so good at this.” You repeat his compliment from before and he pops his head up between your legs. He pulls his fingers from inside you and immediately you sit up slightly.

“I want you to fuck me, Warren,” you say with insistence.

He grins.

You quickly place a pillow underneath your hips as he leans over you once again, your eyes connecting and you begin to listen to the party outside the door for just a moment, remembering where you are.

It all feels so separate from this. From you. From him. From your togetherness.

You begin notice how little you’ve noticed anybody else tonight, which makes you feel a bit guilty considering a lot of them mean a lot to Warren. But you are so infatuated with him. You haven’t let yourself believe it until now, but you truly haven’t thought of a single other thing all night other than how much you want him.

Not just in a sexual way, but in the way that you want to be his.

Your legs spread, rather than when they would usually go on Warren’s shoulders. He leans down and begins to kiss you again, this time softly, warmly. You can taste your pussy on his lips. He rubs one of your arms while propping himself up with just his other. He pulls away to situate himself and position his cock at the entrance of your pussy.

He pushes in slowly and feels how tight you are around him.

“Is this okay?” he asks and you nod while whispering yes.

He pushes deeper and you instinctually let out a big breath, closing your eyes and feeling him pull out slowly.

“Deeper,” you say. He laughs a bit before going deeper and pulling back and forth. The more comfortable you get, the more of a rhythm he gets into. He is unsurprisingly great at rhythm and you start to squeeze at his dick as he pulls it back and forth. You kiss at his cheek that’s above you and move your hips in rhythm with him. He moans and whines as you try hard not to do the same.

“‘re so wet,” he whines to you and you moan softly.

“You’re so big,” you say sweetly and he shudders, trying to control how badly he wants to come.

You’re not lying. His cock makes you feel so full. You’re so warm and can smell him above you. You can hear sloshing as you reach down and begin to rub at your clit, accidentally bucking your hips forward into him and making his cock go deeper.

You close your eyes and breathe in pleasure.

“Warren,” you whine.

He continues to fuck you deeper, hitting your g-spot in rhythm with how you’re rubbing at your clit.

“I love when you say my name. ‘m so close,” he whimpers and you squeeze tighter on his cock.

“Warren,” you breathe louder.

He moans as pleasure begins to wash over you, paralyzing your legs from movement and squeezing on his cock tightly. He groans as he pulls his dick out from you quickly.

You’re breathe heavy as it feels as though, for just a moment, all the anxiety and pain in your body and leave and you’re washed with pleasure and warmth. You shiver as you feel warm streaks of cum cover your stomach and tits. You become aware of Warren’s breathing above you and impulsively take your hand, rub your finger along your stomach and put the cum covered finger in your mouth. He watches you intensely and immediately kisses you.

“You’re so fucking cool,” he says when pulling away.

You grin at him.

“I like you,” you say.

“I obviously like you, girl,” he says, as if it’s old news.

You look away shyly and he grabs your cheek, turning you back towards him before kissing you intently.

welcome to leekie’s baking exploits, where leekie attempts recipes she doesn’t read all the way through and realises she doesn’t know wtf she’s doing when she’s already in the middle and it’s too late to back out :)

okay so basically I decided against making an “easter log” bc the reality is that my sister will eat like one (1) slice and then I’ll be stuck with an entire cake by myself and then it’ll just get old and stale and Nobody Wants That, so instead I was like oh I’ll make pear sorbet that should be easy.

(famous last words fr)

have I ever made pear sorbet before?? no. have I ever made SORBET before?? no. did I consider that maybe I should do some fucking Research beforehand?? haha what do you take me for

ANYWAYS so I buy the pears and whatever else I need, and I’m like okay time to make some sorbet !! and I start peeling the pears and that’s all fine unTIL I realise oh shit we got rid of our apple/pear/whatever-else-fruit corer BUT I TELL MYSELF oh it’s fine I’ll just use a knife… idk if you know this but pears are actually really slippery once they’ve been peeled?? which means they like to slide out of your hand while your sticking a knife into them and then when the knife gets stuck in the pear it’s very difficult to get out bc you can’t actually get a proper grip on the pear to pull it out and so you can’t regulate how much strength you have to use aND THEN YOU USE TOO MUCH STRENGTH AND THE KNIFE *schicks* OUT SO FAST YOU ACCIDENTALLY STAB IT BACK THE OTHER WAY WHEN YOU RECOIL AND NEARLY END UP BLEEDING TO DEATH OUT OF YOUR THUMB but luckily your reflexes are impeccable and so you avoid certain death with your only takeaway from the experience being well that was almost traumatic :D

and then you go through that process 3 more times bc you need 4 pears for this recipe and then you realise uhhh now I’ve gotta sous vide these pears which you have never done before so Obviously you don’t have a sous vide machine. So naturally,, you then google how to sous vide without a sous vide machine, and google tells you that if you use the wrong type of plastic bag then you might end up giving yourself cancer bc the plastic will release toxins when heated and you don’t know if you have the non toxic kind of plastic but they’re the only plastic bags you have on hand so you’re gonna have to risk it babyyy

BUT THEN the bags you have are Small and you can’t get all the air out of them to vacuum seal them AND THE POT YOU’RE USING IS SMALL TOO SO YOU HAVE TO SPLIT THE PEARS INTO TWO BATCHES AND GO THROUGH THE WHOLE SOUS VIDE PROCESS TWICE which takes you an hour but at least it’s just Waiting and not fighting demons like the first hour of this adventure

ALAS I WAS STILL STUCK IN MY WOEFUL ERA AFTER THAT bc I had to Strain the mushy blended up pears through a sieve. which doesn’t sound awful. but it is. BC THAT TOOK ME ANOTHER WHOLE HOUR BC THE PEARS WERE TOO GODDAMN THICK TO GO THROUGH THE SIEVE WITHOUT HELP (which is the whole point of straining but stfu nobody asked) AND I HAD TO MASH THE PEARS DOWN and my arms literally felt like they were gonna fall off idk if I’ll ever recover honestly

anyway FINALLY I put that away after I engaged in battle with the freezer to make enough space for my pears and then I check the recipe… and the pears have to freeze overnight. Which means. I don’t even get to enjoy the product of this ordeal on the same day as a reward and instead it was just Suffering (really resonated with jesus this good friday)

so bc I want Something to reward myself I’m like okay time to make panacotta,, which I also have never made before but fortunately!!! is not very hard. HOWEVER. panacotta also has to chill in the fridge for 4 hours. so I still had no instant gratification.

nevertheless I persevered, and at 9pm my panacotta was just barely chilled enough and so I ate that :)

panacotta review: good but honestly too sweet bc this was a butterscotch flavoured one and I forgot how sweet butterscotch was so I didn’t think to adjust any of the ratios

MOVING ON the next morning I’m eating brekkie and I’m like oh might as well finish up my sorbet bC AFTER ALL THAT IT STILL WASN’T DONE so I get my massive hunk of frozen pears out of the freezer and then I realise, I’m supposed to blend this shit. and it’s too big to fit in the blender as is. so I’ve gotta chop it into smaller chunks.

anyway long story short I almost died again bc my fingers went numb bc the pears were FROZEN and so obviously I couldn’t feel them and I nearly sliced myself open with the knife I was using to finagle the pear slab into manageable pieces for the blender bc surprise surprise, the frozen pears did not want to be cut. BUT I DIDN’T DIE!! so I got them all crushed and blended and whipped and then popped the sorbet back in the freezer !! IN ITS FINAL FORM !! which means I don’t have to touch it again until I’m eating it :D

pear sorbet review: i am SO MAD bc the pear sorbet is really fucking good which means I have absolutely not learnt my lesson and I Will be doing this shit again

to conclude, here’s my baby:

she’s a little ugly but she tastes amazing (misshapen ball is sorbet, funky rectangle is panacotta)

(also the next day I made mini chicken pies but I was like oh I want more veggies in this so I added more but Unfortunately one of the veggies I added wAS A WHOLE ENTIRE LEEK which has a very high water content I didn’t account for, so my pies were LEAKING fucking everywhere and also I had like x4 the amount of filling I was supposed to BUT !! it’s not all bad bc I just froze the rest and now I have low effort dinner ready if I’m in a pinch :D)

so pretty much, in conclusion, my toxic trait is not reading recipes all the way through before I attempt them and assuming I can alter them however I want and they’ll turn out fine. I am plagued by hubris <3

anyways genuinely sorry to anybody who’s read this catastrophe that’s not sreedie bc sreedie asked for this so they can suffer xx

This is an exact image of me reading this ask.

I adore YOU, and I’m sorry but that fucking dessert looks soooooo so so so much better than that weird Easter log thing. I want a bite so bad and now I’m really pissed we didn’t get together this Easter.

So here’s the plan, we will have our own holiday & it is going to be the “Peary divorce holiday” and you will make me this fucking dessert and I will enjoy it and I can cook dinner :)

I May still love you (in celebration of may) but thank you for showing me this I’m sorry I sat on it so long but I read it like 20 times haha:)

#I adore you #& yeah I see your other ask from the chapter haha #I will get to that after I give the couple days I usually #I love you leekie #I’m sorry I don’t have a ton of tags #I’m just tired lol #& I want pear ice cream & I feel empty inside #ok leekie #until our next encounter #you’re wonderful #but also a lightning bulb smashing jerk #<3 #leekie tag #ask

Mmmmmnn

Weird predicament at work rn (I'm just venting so ignore this)

I am supposed to attend a mandatory medication training tomorrow at 3pm in the same state that I work (but not the same building, it's technically a town over)

I live in a different state, so the commute from where I live to where I work is already ridiculous enough as it is

I also work overnights so I usually get home around 9am, meaning that this meeting is at the equivalent of 3AM for me (and the others working overnight shifts)

I am broke as hell right now, as in I have allocated as much of my remaining funds as possible to putting gas in my car for my work shifts, so I don't have any left over for this additional trip all the way to another state over in the middle of the day, before I'll have to then go into work again that night at 9pm

I have already informed my supervisor and program director of this issue, stating very bluntly that it's because I'm broke and that I have burned through all my other options (I literally have used up everything else, I have no options left), and asked if there was an alternative available, such a zoom call link or if they could have someone take notes or send me the official policy change information via email

I have yet to receive a response to my email

The meeting is tomorrow, before I would have a chance to go into work and check my email (I can't check work emails outside of the building due to HIPAA), so their lack of response means I really have no other option but to Not attend

However, as one of the only staff in this program who knows anything about how we currently handle medications in our program and as someone who vehemently DESPISES having to get information second- and third-hand from other staff, I would much prefer To attend this meeting, especially because now I know that it's being run by an absolute moronic buffoon that I've had to deal with in the past who seemed to know jackshit all about handling client medications and contradicted himself every other damn sentence to the point that I had to use layman's terms to get him to understand common, everyday occurrences with medication monitoring...

But I also don't want to attend because it's in the middle of the day (which is the equivalent of the middle of the night for most folks) and the obnoxious coworker who seems to think I'm completely useless and is apparently determined to misgender me as much as possible (not possible but keep trying I guess) is going to be there, the same coworker who is supposed to be training most of our staff on medication monitoring, but every time I say 'hey here's how this works' she somehow turns around and goes 'uhm actually our supervisor said it's not that way, sorry' and then when I check with the supervisor because that supervisor has qmap training and should KNOW when doing it that way would be extremely illegal and a safety risk, I'm told that they just went along with what that coworker suggested because it seemed right so when I inform them that, no, it would be illegal to do it that way, they then change their mind but don't tell anyone else this information so I then have to explain this to my other coworkers, only to be told off again by this other coworker that no, it's actually not like that, but then I have to say well idk why the supervisor didn't inform anyone so I'm informing you now that we need to do it this other way or else it's a safety risk and then she stomps off or starts yelling and then is all grumpy the next day when she finds out that what I told her was right, but I understand her blight because if the damn supervisor had bothered to fucking communicate ANY of these procedure changes and decisions to ALL of the staff through, say, something as simple as a fucking EMAIL, none of this bickering would have happened in the first place

...also yeah no I don't know how many people will be there and there's no fucking mask mandate and I'm still the only one wearing a mask daily at work or anywhere for that matter and I don't wanna be crammed in a room full of people who still don't even cover their mouth when they cough

So I guess I'm not going

#i...like helping people as a job #i hate dealing with management issues that crumble and destroy the foundation on which programs are built #thats all #orbs thought bubbles

My downfall is how I try to keep memories alive. I get scared I’ll forget them forever so I replay random memories from years and years ago to keep it alive in my brain so they don’t go down the abyss —the memory dump— like bing bong from inside out. Like a random Cartoon Network commercial of the scooby doo fruit snacks (or was it a cereal commercial?) from a pre recorded episode of justice league unlimited. Or me being on my sister’s computer in her room (during her teen years/my childhood) whether it was playing the Sims, Disney Magic Artist Studio game, being on iTunes or YouTube, right under her top bunk bed that you had to climb the ladder to get onto and we would sleep together in her bed sometimes bc we were besties. And the metal from the bed would constantly shake as if it would break on you any minute even if you moved an inch. Or when she gave me my first bratz doll that was hers, Cameron, and it started my little journey playing with bratz. Or when I had my hot pink razr flip phone 💁‍♀️ and would watch music on demand and put the phone close to the tv speaker to record the chorus of J Holidays Bed as my ringtone (I was not even double digits bro😭). Or being in this after school program in middle school for that one year and it being some of the best times of my life. Or that one time we got to text Disney channel which Hannah Montana episode we wanted to air before the others (it was out of 3 episodes… or 2? Idk if anyone knows what I’m talking about). Or my three way phone calls (after 8? Or 9pm? So it wouldn’t take from my minutes) I had with my two friends from that middle school at the time late at night and the one always having to hang up and being unreachable by phone half the time lol. Or listening to Alicia keys try sleeping with a broken heart on my sisters old iPod mini she gave me and had her songs still on it, and I sat on the floor heartbroken (like I knew what love was) for my 6th grade crush that had no idea I was obsessed with her😭 but all my friends did bc I’d alwaysss talk about how cute she was. Or my little big planet days being friends with people from the UK and building and playing levels. Or the first time I got my period and I was playing that game and texting that same crush at the time (I think I told her about it). It was summer, and my family and I were going somewhere In New York later that day, and my parents were in a weird period in their divorce where they were still together. Or going to see my cousins in the Bronx when I was younger almost every weekend at one point, with my one guy cousin who’s a year older and I thought he was the coolest person ever and I wanted to be him. Or being on vacation with my fam every year to Orlando til I was 11, and being in the car on the highway to Seaworld (we’d go to universal mostly tho) and Dolphin and Gold by Prince playing and it just feeling magical. We always listened to Prince. Or a random memory after an away softball game? Basketball game? From sophomore year of hs and thinking to myself, staring out the bus window on the ride back to our school, about why I think so deeply and feeling so alone in that and in my thoughts.

I like to keep random memories alive. I actively search for them to keep them in my consciousness and retrieve them like archives. I’m scared of forgetting. I’ve always been like that. Yearning for the past ever since I reached my teens. Escaping my reality. My dads like that too 🤣 But then it’s like… you miss what’s right in front of you right now that is gonna be something you’re nostalgic for in a couple years from now. It’s definitely my biggest setback. I just feel so connected to my past and my roots. My family, old tv shows, old connections, old video games. It’s what keeps me here today. But my life path is about letting go. I hold on with a death grip lol. What does it feel like to live in the present?

I basically have to come mute and recluse at work.

Apparently, Miss Alma has been yelling at the supervisors about there being too much conversation going on. I get that we’re all at work, but not being able to take a second and have conversation is so horrible.

I’m a social creature, humans are by nature. But Miss Sharon, a supervisor, over the past week has basically all but blatantly said “stop coming up to the self checkout completely”. Yes, I do go up to the self checkout to converse but that’s usually only around 830/9pm. From 230-630 I’m on the other side of the store, then at 630(or whenever the door on that side is locked), I go on break. Then I come back but I’m on the other side now, but I still don’t go up to the self checkout bc it’s still too early.

I wait until 830/9 ish because that’s when the store starts slowing down. It closes at 11. Like, again, I know that this is work, we’re here for work, not to just gab. But at this point Miss Alma is trying to completely outlaw conversation and Miss Sharon is the one who has to keep people in line basically.

And it’s not like I can just do this on days Sharon isn’t here bc she’s here every day and Miss Alma watches cameras now apparently. Like, this is so frustrating. I get so so so bored. I’m security at a grocery store. And I’m not the security that walks around, that’s Loss Prevention. I’m there at the doors all day just being bored just watching. I have a single earbud in all day because I’ll go insane without music or a podcast while I’m not conversing. But Jesus fucking Christ.

Sharon really has all but said “stop coming up here”. And it makes me wanna cry bc I know Sharon isn’t doing it out of any spite or malice. It’s that she doesn’t wanna get yelled at by Alma. But Alma is being unfair I think. Especially bc I’m normally only up there if Emily is, and Emily still does her job. She will walk off in the middle of a sentence, mine or hers, to do her job, so like ???

Idk it’s just frustrating

I WANT TO CALL QUITS

i want to call quits, but am I calling to early? or am I already into deep? first time in 3 nights I finally got to stay over. did you miss me? or did I make it too hard to miss me, since I’m always trying to talk to you.

it just that, I’m so used to hearing your voice, smelling you, being around you. you’re my safe spot.

am I yours? Do you see me the same way I see you?

do you still want me like you did when I wasn’t always around?

did I make it easy for you to get annoyed of me? i ask you questions, not to get on your nerves. but for ME.

It just so hard to trust. i trusted the wrong people in my life & I believe that’s why I am hurting more than ever. it just feels like a rerun. but why do I let them get that far? is it because I’m vulnerable, I have a lot of love to give.

if I don’t have an answer that was given from the person I want it from, I’ll fill in the blanks with multiple theories. it’s not that I want to?? God made me an over thinker & I hate it. i need you to tell me “everything is okay” because I feel like it’s not.

i don’t understand how people can go around and act like they care about someone & they don’t.

the night before I stayed over, you went to your uncles for a bbq & you didn’t let me know you “fell asleep” so I lost contact with you after 9pm & didn’t have any contact with you until the next morning at 11am. i know it’s crazy to think that you weren’t asleep but I know you have trouble sleeping.

theories:

1. you went out to your uncles, than you went to hangout with someone.

2. you took that person to your uncles & that person stayed over.

3. you stayed over @ someone house.

4. you went on a date.

5. You were at your friends house chillan with them a girl

i remember our first date, you have this number calling you frequently back to back & you claim it was work.. it was already 7pm -8pm who would be calling from your job that late? but I also didn’t wanna trip bc I usually do, & it pushes them away..

am I tripping right now?? am I pushing you away?? but is it a good thing, since you don’t know how to communicate?

i tell you, just to at least text me or communicate you said you will. Since then I only got one text back from the whole 3 days.

I check if my girly stuff was put away, (tampons liners was the only thing I left bc I didn’t think was gonna come back here) it was in the same spot I left it in.. I was relieved. the room was still messy.. okay you didn’t have to impress and pick up meaning.. you didn’t have anyone over.

but now that I think of it, he’s room was messy when I met him. the same way he looks right now with the pile of clothes next to his bed. im taking a shower & I see girly shampoo & conditioner.. conditioner is 90% of it is done (where did this come from), & the shampoo is brand new.. what’s crazy is, we just went a week ago to get shampoo & conditioner.. it wasn’t the same ones we got. he lives with his family so I cannot jump into conclusions. (or should I)

i lay down in the bed, & you wash your sheets… why? the most suspicious thing you can do when I’m already tripping on the fact you didn’t communicate with me the next before. But what if he just wanted to wash them?? and now that I’m thinking, idk when was the last time we washed them.

okay last but not least one the reason why I feel like you’re not interested or talking to someone else….

we had sex in the middle of the night, everything was different. the stroke, the pressure, the vibe. you didn’t kiss me not once, nor did you moan once..and that’s your strong suit.

this is what is gonna be on my mind all the time…..

it broke me when you got up in the middle of us fucking & was looking for something.. you already had the lube bottle on the dresser what are you reaching for? when I saw your iPhone flash the light on a condom, I wanted to cry

we only used a condom once & it was bc he wanted to use the lube on the condom than he took it off.

theory:

1. he acted like he cummed

2. he didn’t want anything to happen (no baby)

3. he didn’t want to dirty his clean sheets

i want to ask you about it but I know you will get annoyed

but why get annoyed

when I can literally read this out to someone.

they can just look at me and say without hesitation, move on sis & call it quits!!!

Watch thread 2022 Pt2

I accidentally deleted the first one, so this is August onwards.

ZZ gundam

This show was a bit of a mess but I enjoyed it. The tone kept shifting and it couldn’t decide how series or goofy it wanted to be. I loved the comedy in the first third with Judao and the gang doing shenanigans, but the middle was a bit of a slog until the return to space. I appreciate the new ideas and locations it introduced, but I can’t say I liked some of the cyber newtype stuff towards the end, though it finally explained a little bit more about them. Unfortunately if you average the high peaks with the valleys I think it lands at a 7.5/10

The Hunt for Red October

Never really felt the tension I think I was supposed to. I’m spoiled 6/10

Free Guy

I got more kicks guessing when certain stages of production were done based on props and references. For example, there is a copy of Dark Souls 2 for the XBOX360 on someones desk equidistant to late 2000′s L33t speak and the streamer Ninja. It feels more like a real movie than a lot of stuff these days. Still Just okay. 6/10

Sandman (2022)

Devoured the first arc in 24 hours. The tone, the music the production and needless to say the writing leaves you with an adaptation that feels authentic without having any knowledge of the original. I’ll remedy that in a while. Episode 5 is a tough watch though, as deliberate as it is. Episode 6 was fantastic though. Do wish we get more moodyness in the second season that had better happen. Final thoughts: IDK what makeup magic they did but Morpheus looks appropriately surreal. 8/10

The Batman

Good movie, but it didn’t blow my world. I like the way it ends a little more optimistically with his transition from vengence to hero. Interesting stuff. The Riddler nails the incel energy, but it isn’t the best to watch at times. I like this interpretation of Bruce as an emo loser who just wallows in himself. Good performances everywhere. 8/10

Krull

This is like a greatest hits album of boring fantasy movie tropes. 3/10

Ready Player One

Not as bad as I had hoped, but not funny bad. 5/10

Morbius

This feels more like a real movie to be honest and it was a fun watch with friends 5/10

Mission Impossible: Fallout

These movies continue to be good! 8.5/10

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

I thought this was a joke holy fuck maximalist storytelling is based. Its so well made, it has so many neat cinematography, action and flow. It churns out cool moments like nobody’s business. 9/10

Primal Season 2

Great show, everything I said about the first season applies. I found myself asking less of the hard questions or thinking quite so much about my distant ancestors, but it was fascinating almost seeing civilization spring up as the series went along. Primal theory in particular stands out for not just breaking up the formula, but also being a concise reiteration of the themes. My only gripe is that the ending feels abrupt. My assumption it was cut short since it looks like HBO max is going the way of the dinosaur. 8/10

Genesis of Aquarion

I feel like I gave this more than an honest shot because I have a fascination with post-evangelion mecha anime. At first it seemed like a mashup of getter robo three pilot action with a larger cast of pilots, and the first two episodes served up some interesting ideas and the kind of mysteries, imagery and cool character hooks I like from these things. However by episode 3 we stop getting that, and it is replaced by two characters, one of whom is clearly somebody’s fetish. I guess its a school anime now? but that gets dropped because in episode 4 its just training like 12 people and a LOT of feet stuff they have no intention of hiding the fetish for. I was hoping after that this show would be the fun kind of train wreck, but after 2-3 beyond that it just failed to hold my attention. I have no faith that any of the stuff that hooked me gets paid off. Rahxephon this ain’t. 5/10

Hot Wheels Unleashed.

Since I could only find 1 lobby with 3 people in it at 9pm on a Sunday I get the feeling this is a dead game. I can’t judge its multiplayer but I can judge everything else. The amount of paywalls, DLC and lootboxes is shocking. You even have to grind multiplayer for coins to unlock tracks for quick play. This is more skinner box than racing game. 2/10

Gundam Evolution (Launch)

Now I could say something interesting about how the character design encourages more dynamic mid-range gunfights, lack of melee options prevents slap-fights and how preventing additional characters behind a time gate to prevents the pro-genji problem. I could say something about how many of its design decisions are a response to Overwatch’s shortcomings. I will say that it is very fun. matchmaking is fast but not the best. Some matches can be steamrolls, but most of them felt like they came down to the wire. Its a little jankier and lower budget than overwatch but It makes me happy where it counts. Gif sprays, funny weapon ornaments. Very few of the character skins are interesting, which I didn’t expect. The currencies and battle pass system are the only real shortcoming. Its too obfuscated and feels kinda gross. Overall, I had a great time with friends and it’s fascinating to dissect. Its a little janky, but its better than any other current hero shooter, including what Overwatch has become. 8/10

Surf Nazis Must Die

Mostly unwatchable, but I’d like to see a remake since the concept of a old black lady with retro firearms out for revenge is too good to let die. 2/10

General Commander

Theres really nothing here. a boiler plate Geezer Teaser that had one stunt that made me think it might be something. 1/10

Thor: Love and Thunder

This is to Thor Ragnarok what Men in Black: International is to the original Men in Black. I felt nothing 3/10

Elvis (2022)

The greatest compliment I can give one of these music biopics is that it made me care about Elvis and even like his music. 8/10

Wing Commander

Objectively this isn’t that great, but it pushes my buttons like crazy. naval warfare in space, with planes and ftl logistics? Sign me Up! These things bring me joy, and not enough space movies do that anymore. 6/10, but 7/10 for me.

Babylon 5 rewatch 2022

HOLY MOLY. I enjoyed my first watch more since things were more of a suprise, but knowing where things are going is fun as well. Love Walter Koenig as Mr.Bester. 1st and 5th seasons are kinda rough though. 8/10 all things considered.

LOTR rewatch

I enjoyed this way more than my first viewing. I think maturing has helped me appreciate the artistry even more. My beautiful GF ended up loving the hell out of it. Turns out I watched the extended editions for my first viewing because I was confused when some of my favorite scenes were missing. Not much I can say that hasn’t been said. 9.5/10

MIB II

Not as bad as I remember. It still does the thing where sequels try to retread the gags that made the first one succeed to diminishing returns, but its flaws are out in perspective by Men in Black International. 4/10

Who Killed Captain Alex

Love for moviemaking permeates its being. The commentary adds an extra level of comedic punch and sets the fun movie watching tone for those who don’t usually engage with movies that way.. A real joy to watch with friends. 7/10

Torchwood Seasons 1-2

Its not good per-say, its more like a guilty pleasure watch than anything else. This show tries so hard to be cool and slick, but the overall execution just feels a bit try hard at times. By that I mean it tries to differentiate itself from Doctor Who by reminding you as often as possible that people have sex on this show, it gets tiring after a while. Most episodes are hit or miss and I hate that they kept trying to make the cheating subplot happen. Not touching the later seasons because they seem like different animals and they didn’t seem good when I saw them as they aired. 6/10

Guyver 2: Dark Hero

A better tone and one good fight at the end doesn’t make up for a dull movie, a bad soundtrack and baffling sound effect choices. The finniest part of the movie is a rhino monster that makes the cat screech sound effect anytime it does anything. 4/10

Kickassia

I can tell this was made with love and the occasional good joke survives poor delivery. Its dated as all hell, but I can see how it has nowhere to go but down. 4/10

G.I. Joe Retaliation

Gone is the campy toyetic action of the original. While the first didn’t do a great job of selling the fantasy of a multinational team of goofy action figure people teaming up with ocean bases and laser guns, the Joes have been reduced to just a generic Seal Team 6. This feels even more like post 9-11 American exceptionalism but without the gadgetry and camp, it has nothing. The only thing improved is Cobra Commander’s design. Overall this is a movie built to be ignored while watched. 2/10

Mortal Kombat 2021

Surprising in the sense that its pretty fun. The jokes land, the action is cool, the characters and the story is exactly what it needs to be. I want this to be the standard for video game movies going forward. The goofy lines from the games are integrated well enough to be good on their own. Kano is a highlight. Part of me wants more camp like the first MK movie, but I’m happy with what I got. 7/10

Romancylvaniaa Demo

Needs the polish and the sound design is a bit hard to swallow at the moment, but I can see the vision for the gameplay loop. This is a rare demo that actually feels like its still in active development. Fun to see behind the curtains in that sense.. Worried they might not get it shape for release, but we will see. Not going to rate it till then.

Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins

I kinda wish it went a little farther in either the serious or camp direction. Action is neat enough and the plot is serviceable, but I think the drama could’ve been a bit more. I will say that it does a lot to ‘fix’ the origins for snake eyes into something a bit more complex and it resisted the temptation to make Snake Eyes white. 6/10

Project Nimbus

I think ZoE games don’t work for me, but occasionally charming moments and Ace Combat vibes are kinda drowned out by jank and blandness. At the end of the day it just isn’t fun to play. Default control options are just no fun, weapon switching is awkward and you end up switching perspective. This could’eve been resolved with a greater focus on velocity instead of strafing, less weapons and any feedback for the funnel system. It’s definitely a product of its time. 3/10

Dracula Untold

While I don’t think it is good per-say, I think its a bummer no one talks about this. As a castlevania fan, seeing Dracula go full dynasty warriors on a legion of turks is well worth the price of admission. surprisingly solid, but this franchise wen’t nowhere for a reason. 6.5/10

Constantine (2005)

Not bad 7/10

Pixels

Not as bad as I would have hoped. There were a few actual jokes, but overall the material was thoroughly wasted. The only thing more dissappointing is that I was stuck actually watching it since my two friends got in a A-B conversation as a defense mechanism against watching the movie. 3.5/10

Beast m Machines (3 random episodes)

A distinct step down from Beast Wars. The elephant in the room is that the Maximals look absolutely awful without exception regardless of mode. It really makes me appreciate the lengths the toys had to redesign them. The environments are samey and empty, but not in a way that builds the desolate industrial tone they were hoping for. The writing is probably on par in terms of episodic shenanigans, but removing the camp from the predicons just makes it all kinda dull. Its not cool or funny, its just there. 4/10

Ratatouille

Still a good movie. 9/10

Conan the Barbarian (1982)

Holds up pretty well. I was taken aback by how thoughtful and willing to be quiet this movie is with its storytelling. The bit with the tomb made a big impression on me as a kid and it still stands as one of my favorite movie moments. I especially like how much ‘guys being dudes’ this movie uses to make us really buy the comeradere. I’ll contrast that to modern movies that take that for granted or other fantasy like Krull that throws 10 billion characters at you and expects you to care because one of them makes jokes I guess. James Earl Jones kills it (but that goes without saying) and I’m suprised to say Schwarzenegger fits the role like a glove and is able to convey the character through his brand of action barbarian. 9/10

Oni (2022)

The stop motion is cute enough and I get the practical and stylistic considerations, but this just looked choppy and not terribly nice looking, but that comes down to the designs for most of the cast. In terms of story it talks down to its audience so low they must be in the basement. I’m not really in much of a position to talk about this from a representational standpoint but it felt like it was laying it on thick but also being weirdly shallow with its mythological elements without the creativity or fun. George Takei’s Tengu character is the most interesting but the majority of the characters look like a sticker sheet made by white people for 3rd graders. It’s for childeren at the end of the day, but in the most condescending way. It feels half hearted and doesn’t lean into that magic of stop motion. 2/10

Rider Time: Kamen Rider Zi-O VS Decade -7 of Zi-O! and Rider Time: Kamen Rider Zi-O VS Decade -7 of Zi-O!

I have no words for how bonkers these two are. These are weird, even on Decade standards. They are a total blast though, make no mistake. The humor and just WEIRD moments keep you engaged and guessing though both of these. A personal favorite is a moment in the final battle where a character hears the results of an election with one vote, politely asks to leave and just walks out with excellent timing. The range and charisma shown by the Zi-O cast really shows how little material they were given in the main series. Certain actors squeeze more out of >5 minutes of screen time than a 50 episode series. 7/10

Hot Shots

I was consistently chucking throughout the whole thing, and in true airplane fashion, there's never not a gag to chuckle at. I should see if Charlie Sheen has done more comedy, his deadpan is great in this. I will say that the ‘mission’ in this movie is suspiciously similar to Top Gun Maverick...hmmm.... 7/10

Missing Link

This movie had no soul. I gained nothing and felt nothing. 1/10

Wendell and Wild (2022)

This movie has more style than it knows what to do with. The atmosphere, aesthetics and humor are top notch. The artistry of the animation had me glued to the screen and reminded me of the power of stop motion. Anytime Key and Peele are on screen is a treat, and thats saying something considered the quality cast here. The only thing that holds this back is some questionable design choices that wander into racial characters and the captain-planet tier villains are kind of a double edged sword. Nice touch that even the demons respect pronouns. 8.5/10

Macross 7 Plus

Delightful pieces of comedy and character insight that still preserve some of the mystery in the characters. Otherwise pretty unsubstantial. 7/10

Macross 7 Encore

PEAK FICTION. I laughed, clapped and cheered for the last two episodes. They have to be some of the best Macross 7 content. The first episode isn’t as good but I appreciate the insistence on not actually clarifying anything. I will say no more. 9/10

Gasaraki

I’m having a hard time really coming to a conclusion about this anime. It has moments of brilliance but is just bogged down by poor structure and pacing. There is clearly a lot of effort on screen and the final few episodes are fantastic with incredibly high tension over grain embargos of all things. The problem is I feel a lot of this could have been interwoven and restructured for a more enjoyable watching experience. Chunks are just uninteresting and some small arcs just don’t go anywhere. For instance our main character goes AWOL multiple times, but the impact is lessened when only one of them was plot relevant, and the rest just kinda stop. Never more have I been tempted to re-edit something on my own. Ironically, it feels like a wheel spinning most of the time, but it just doesn’t stick the crucial landing in the last episode. I would like to shout out its gulf war aesthetics and interesting mixed media tricks. The effort of having many subtle changes in the opening, and completely different ones for a two episode arc did not go unnoticed. I have to say this but this is a 7/10, but deserves to have been much better.

Action Button Reviews: Boku no natsuyasumi

Since its 6 hours long and is about almost everything else besides what it reviews. I won’t elaborate much. I will say that this takes you places you wouldn’t expect and makes you want to call your relatives and say hello. 7.5/10

WHOOPS KINDA FORGOT ABOUT THIS FOR A FEW MONTHS: LIGHTNING ROUNG

Extreme Job

I haven’t laughed this much at a comedy in ages. In delivers on hit after hit of truly universal humor. If I had my way this would be a all-timer 9/10

Star Wars Tales of the Jedi

NGL I skip anything with Ashoka at this point. Dooku’s disenchantment is an interesting idea they utterly bungle. More importantly, why does Yaddle speak normally?? 5/10

Star Wars Visions

Theres like 3 good shorts in here, but even trigger couldn’t fully execute on the premise. I like the idea of wildly alternate takes with the potential to go back to the samurai roots of Star Wars, but this ain’t it. If this came out parallel to the Animatrix and Halo Legends it apes it would still seem dated with its ‘japanese-ey’ energy that feels like like studio notes were written by people who still refer to Asia as the orient. Overall the creativity flatlined for more than half of these. 6/10

Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special.

This made me remember why I liked these characters. The effortless comedy and chemistry of the cast just kinda dicking around is something I would watch for hours. 8/10

Blaster Master Zero

I want to like it but most of the executions is just kind of mid. The biggest game design failure is having enough of the cool mini-dungeons have nothing in them, which de-inscentivises exploration and completion. As a result I didn’t feel compelled to unlock the last world and true ending even though some of the power ups were cartoonishly unbalanced in a fun way. Also, having kinda bad stealth dungeons for the last world made me just want to get it over with and soured the experience. Cute frog. 7/10

1899

I was underwhelmed by the mystery component of this mystery series. It pulls off a ‘it was all a dream’ tier ending that leaves questions for a season 2 that feels like it won’t remember all the threads. Themes didn’t seem as fleshed out as they could have and didn’t really carry any weight with the ending in mind. 6/10

Troll

Godzilla 1998 but for Norway. I ended up having fun. 7/10

999

Holy shit the story is backloaded. Not all of my questions were answered but can’t wait to play the next one 9/10

Destiny 2: Season of Plunder

This is one of the weaker seasons in recent memory. Storywise the drama doesn’t really go anywhere besides the one beat it had with the reveal of Mithrax’s past. I almost feel like its been overshadowed by the new season only 3 days in. The whole community event was just funny in how much of a failure it was. Considering how nothing the upgrades to the Eliksni quarter were, I’m glad I helped cheese it. Overall, I’m kinda bored of the model where we get a new 6/3 man activity every now and then. I also want a cash prize for getting the title before they fixed the ridiculous requirements. I will never tough expedition again. 6/10

Knife or Death

I went in with 0 expectations and got a real treat. This was a perfect watch with my partner. For some reason the combination of American Ninja Warrior but with the most oddball group of contestants is a recipe for a good time. 8/10

Bullet Train

A friend who saw a test screening told me to be on the lookout for this one and boy I was satisfied! 7/10

Bad Guys

Wow, they made a Tarantino movie for kids. Great dialogue and Lupin action. Its still a kids movie at the end of the day, but c’mon. 7.5/10

The Game Awards 2022

I didn’t feel horribly cynical leaving this, so thats a start 6/10

Star Wars Rise of the Resistance

Kinda neat, but some of the effects work better than others 7/5/10

Zardoz

Nothing could have prepared me for the first 5 minutes of this film. Going into it I knew nothing besides the visuals of Sean Connery’s outfit and the head, so I had no idea what to expect from the actual story. The few twists were good enough and I appreciate the direction it went, but at the end of the day, my tolerance for 70′s movie pacing makes me rate it about a 7/10 overall. Fascinating to watch.

Attack on Titan Part 1 (2015)

Wow, where to start. The premise is baffling, the last half hour is the worst day-for-night I’ve ever seen, the homoeroticism is made into incest by the twist, it has the sex-positivity of a Reagan era slasher and the action is terrible looking. Where do I start? I get this was in production before the anime, but the titans have the distinct look of an internet short Corridor Digital would make in a weekend. The comping is all over the place and the practical stuff like the Colossal Titan puppet or the fighting titan either hide the cool stuff behind bad CG steam or are shot and presented in the worst light imaginable. I’m fine with the changes to the premise, but the confusing part is that instead of just casting everyone as Japanese actors, they completely change most of the characters with white names into weird OCs? Wouldn’t it just be easier to change their names and call it a day? I’m so confused by this movies decisions and astounded by the poor technical execution. 4/10.

Attack on Titan Part 2

This sequel was far less interesting by the virtue of being kinda better. The twists are still dumb and the decisions are questionable, but I can’t bring myself to hate it. Its the kind of movie you can skip through and not miss much. 5/10

Pinocchio 2022

Didn’t light my world on fire but I’m glad I saw it. A GDT film to a T, but part of me wishes it had a little more ohmf. Probably the most fascists I’ve seen in an adaptation of Pinocchio by a wide margin. 7/10

Sonic Prime

Sonic Boom may have raised the bar too high. Can we give the multiverse a rest now? I’d score lower but Frogey had a pirate eyepatch in one scene. 3/10

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3

This game is so close to being amazing but has so many little things holding it back that just add up. I originally dislike Kirin in the promotional material since I wanted to play as GV, but I ended up really loving Kinin’s gameplay, maybe more than I ever liked GV. However, they addressed this concern in the worst way possible. switching between Kirin and GV feels overcomplicated and GV trivialized the game to the point I self imposed just not that half of the characters overloaded kit. On the positive side, diagonal aiming feels like it should have been here all along and the mechanic of jumping towards tagged enemies is top tier. The story is where it gets a little mixed. I can’t say what was the localization and what isn’t but I know I don’t like the primal dragon timeskip or the weird apologism for the evil zaibatzu. It feels like it ollies out of all the cool plot threads and characters in favor of a new one with magic dragons. The new cast is great and I love the way they were allowed to interact with other stages and each other. Dialogue got a few good chuckles, but my biggest gripe is that they call Kirin’s talismans ‘fetters’ for some reason. Post game support is a little odd. On one hand, the dlc is as lame as it gets, just new abilities (normal ones in game are random drops) but the extra modes and villain campaign will have me coming back. Its not the greatest but I give it a charmed 7.5/10

“hey how about we ring on that house there and yell “sheep for sale!” do you think they’ll open the door?”

“i don’t know... let’s find out!” 🤝

let’s just say that this didn’t end well..

🐈 ⸝⸝ NI-KI ˙𐃷˙

oh look it’s our tsundere 😼

can’t go a day without dancing so you two have vibing sessions at 2am everyday ft. the others telling you to go to bed

you’re the only one that can make him soft lol

if you’re older than him, you would definitely take care of him like your own baby !!

if you are the same age as him or younger it’d be awkward for him at first, because he isn’t used to taking care of someone younger, so he’d treat you as if you were his best friend at the beginning

you love to watch him dance !! it’s so satisfying,, LITERAL asmr.

pranks you 24/7. boy has NO mercy. will not care if the others will scold him later. he will do the prank smoothly (?) — doesn’t care about the consequences LMAO

probably sets your alarm to someone screaming or a cringy aegyo song <//3

wants to film dance covers with you !! you don’t have to be the best dancer either !! as long as you have fun ^__^

the other members find you really cute but are also vERY TIRED OF YOU,, two energized teens in a relationship was not a good idea ☝️

likes to randomly hold your hand and swing it around

probably distant at the beginning of the relationship because a.) he doesn’t want to pressure you/make things awkward b.) he doesn’t really know what to do either ???

(if you’re not japanese or don’t know how to speak japanese) he’ll definitely teach you some japanese phrases and words !! introduce you to his culture as well :DD and he really wants to know more about your culture too <3

teaches you phrases like “sunoo is a dumbass” for the funzies LOL

randomly makes micheal jackson impressions,,, it’s hilarious LMFAO

Thomas Shelby x Wife Reader

Summary: A quiet evening meant for celebration is thrown into chaos. Y/n wills herself to play into the daunting role that comes with being Thomas Shelby’s wife, because it might be the only thing keeping her alive.

Masterlist

Tommy lowkey feels very oc so idk how to feel about that. im not good at writing suspense...its also very long. ha :,)

Warning: blood, guns, knives, fights, usual peaky blinder violence

If anyone knew Y/n Shelby, then they would know that she can’t stand seeing dead bodies. Although in her case, having that reaction would seem ironic, considering her husband was Thomas Shelby.

It was around 9pm when Y/n slipped her night robe off and lay back on her bed. Her night was just winding down and she was waiting for Thomas to get back. He said he would try to be home around midnight, and to not wait up. He and his brothers would be at the Garrison, celebrating Arthur’s return from prison and discussing what was to be done with the Jews and Italians next.

Y/n knew it would be a couple hours for Tommy to be home, so she settled onto their bed and grabbed a book off her night stand.

The room was bathed in a warm, orange and yellow light— the type of light candles can give. When she was home alone, Y/n liked to use candle light. It reminded her of a time before the war and before this gang business, when all she and Tommy had to worry about was getting enough candles to light up the dinner table.

Half an hour had passed and Y/n had gotten through a decent number of pages in her book. She felt her eyes drooping and decided it was time to call it a night. She stretched and cracked her neck before turning to place her book on the nightstand. Just as she was about to place the book down, she heard a creak downstairs.

She froze.

Tommy wasn’t supposed to be back until midnight and none of the Shelby family would come over this late without a call, that was their safety protocol.

She listened for more creaking.

After Tommy had bought their house he had insisted on replacing the creaky floor boards, but decided to keep a few. In certain spots, that could be easily avoided if one knew where to walk, the floor would still creak. It was a safety thing that Tommy and Y/n agreed would be good to have. If the floorboards downstairs still creaked after the first step, it wasn’t one of them.

Creak...creak...creak...

That wasn’t Tommy.

Y/n took in a deep breath as she put herself back into a sitting position on the bed. An intruder was in her house. At the moment, the Peaky Blinders had a lot of enemies. It could be anyone. Mostly, someone with a gun.

She listened as the person made their way upstairs. She could hear them passing Tommy’s office, and the guest bedroom. This person knew where their room was, and she could only deduce from their movement’s that they were coming for her.

Y/n was scared. She knew how to defend herself, but didn’t like doing it if she didn’t have to. Rolling her shoulders, she prepared herself for the inevitable. She’d have to fight tonight.

To be clear, Y/n Shelby wasn’t unable to fight. She was a pro at throwing knives, which she preferred to guns; much to Tommy’s dismay. She knew how to shoot a gun and could decently fare in hand to hand combat, but she was still scared. Her heart beat in her chest quickly and anxiety bubbled to the surface. A normal reaction to knowing someone broke into your house to hurt you, or worse. Y/n assumed it was the latter. However, instead of letting her fear show, she turned on her fake calmness. A trick she forced herself to learn as Thomas Shelby’s wife. The alarm that was spread across her face vanished, instead being replaced with an eerily calm facade.

There was no point in locking the door. The person knew how to get past those if he made it into their living room. She heard their steps stop at the front of her door, she raised her book to her face, pretending like she was reading.

Act calm. She told herself.

Then, the door burst open.

Back at the pub, the Shelby brothers were sitting around the table in the snug. Sharing laughs and taking on their third round of Whiskey.

“Alright boys,” Tommy began, placing his glass down and looking around the table. “We’ve had our fun, business begins now.” His content expression turned serious.

His other brothers, and cousin Michael, cleared their throats and straightened up.

“As you know, taking Arthur out of prison is a direct threat to the Sabini’s. It shows that even in London we have enough influence to get our own men out, if needed.”

The brothers nodded, and shared looks.

Tommy continued, “Getting Arthur out was our first move. Now it’s the Italian’s and the Jew’s turn but we don’t know when their next strike will be. So, from this moment on we have to be aware, alert, and ready for every—”

The door flew open.

Sir!” Out of breath, Isaiah stood with one hand on the door knob, looking at Tommy.

“Oi!” Arthur shouted. “You know better than to interrupt!”

Tommy nodded his head at Arthur, then turned to Isaiah. “What is it, lad.”

“Better be important,” John added.

“Sir, the Italians are here. My dad spotted them making their way down the lane. They got a group with guns and a car. We best hurry.” Isaiah said in a rushed voice.

With that all the Shelby men stood and placed their caps on, rushing out of the snug.

Upon noticing the urgency in which the brothers exited, the rest of the Peaky Blinders in the pub were at full alert, waiting for Tom’s next words. The crowd silenced as the brothers stood at the snug doors, facing the onlookers.

“If you aren’t a Peaky Blinder,” Tom eyed the crowd, “leave.”

Noise filled the bar again as chairs shuffled, cups were placed on tables, and the front doors opened and closed.

Tom didn’t speak again until there were only Peaky Blinders left. He pulled out his revolver and checked it, making sure there were bullets, before looking up again.

“Battle formation, men. The Italians are here.”

Then in a flurry of peaky hats and over coats, the rest of the men got into their positions. Some ran up the stairs to get the extra cases of shotguns and revolvers. Others pulled out their own handguns and checked them as well. The Shelby boys looked at each other, a silent way of saying ‘good luck’.

Once Tommy deemed every one armed, he nodded to Arthur, who shouted to move out.

The Shelbies were at the front, while everyone fell behind them in triangle formation. As they marched outside, they could see the group of Italians rounding the corner.

It was rather intimidating. An outline of men and guns on shoulders, a rather sizable group at that, illuminated by the truck headlights that followed behind. It was a sight to see.

Darby Sabini stood at the front, a shotgun slung over his shoulder.

As the groups marched towards each other and came to a stop, a man behind Thomas called out to the front. “At your command Sergeant Major.”

A hushed tone of agreement spread throughout the group.

Darby stepped forward. “Thought you could come on our turf and get away with it, aye?”

Tommy stepped forward as well, hands in his pockets. “It was meant as a friendly gesture, but I don’t think you have enough friends to know what that means.”

A small smirk made its way onto Tommy’s face as he stared Darby down.

Darby narrowed his eyes, irritated at that remark. “I’ll show you what friendly means. Now!”

A hail of gunfire began and the sound of shots being fired filled the lane. It was chaos. Bullets flew and body’s fell. Punches were thrown and blood was spread. More men jumped out of the covered truck and ran to beat down the men on the other side.

Tommy ducked and punched, kicked and shot. In the middle of punching a man in the gut he yelled, “Leave Darby for me!”

His men did just that.

Thomas fought his way to the center of the fight, where Darby had just knocked out a Peaky Blinder. Tommy aimed his gun and walked forward, aiming at Darby. The fighting on both sides ceased.

“I didn’t bring a battalion to your town.” Tommy spoke clearly, in a raised voice.

Darby aimed his gun as well. The two circled each other as men on both sides stopped to observe the interaction. They watched Tommy and Darby tread carefully, like two tentative predators waiting for their opposer to falter.

“You still showed up. That was enough.”

The two men were breathing heavily, a result from the brawls they just finished.

“What’s your purpose for being here, Sabini?” Thomas stopped pacing, his gun still firmly held up.

Darby stopped as well. An obnoxious laugh left his lips. “Isn’t it obvious?”

Tommy didn’t move. He held a blank face, but his eyes still watched Darby with intensity.

Not waiting for a response Darby continued, “I’m reminding you that I can take away everything you have in an instant. I already put your brother in jail, which it seems wasn’t a good enough warning for you, since you stupidly had him released so quickly.”

Darby took a couple steps toward Thomas, gun raised.

“Killing me won’t do anything. I got people in place to still ruin you.” Thomas stated, his tone flat.

Darby lowered his gun, a sickly calm smile spread across his face. It was an unsettling sight that made Tommy begin to think something was off.

“Oh Tommy boy, I’m just the distraction,” Darby’s eyes noticeably darkened, “How’s your wife these days?”

Tommy’s eyes widened and his finger pulled the trigger.

Darby fell to the ground dead, a bullet was lodged in the center of his forehead.

Then like a wave, the fighting began again.

As soon as the gunshot rang, Tommy saw red. He shot, punched, kicked or swung at anyone in his way as he fought to get out of the crowd. He didn’t bother shouting an explanation to his brothers as he ran to his car.

Tommy shoved his keys into the ignition and started the car. Tommy slammed his foot on the gas as soon as the engine roared to life. The car’s lights illuminated the carnage left from the battle. The Peaky Blinders were the last ones standing, as Tommy expected, but paid no mind to. His thoughts too consumed with conjuring the hundreds of horrible possibilities he might see upon arriving home, all ending with a bloodied image of Y/n.

John and Arthur ran towards the car, causing Thomas to slam on the breaks.

“Where are you going?” John asked urgently.

“They’re going for Y/n.” Thomas hastily replied.

John and Arthur jumped on the side of the car just in time before Tommy could speed up again.

Michael and Finn watched as the older Shelby boys passed them.

“Great. So we’re left to clean up the mess.”

At the house, Y/n held her book to her face as the door burst open. She turned her head and was met with the sight of a man pointing a gun at her. His clothes were clean and he looked very young. Her eyes flitted from the gun to his shoes, then to his eyes, then back to the gun.

“On your feet.” He demanded.

“What?” Y/n feigned innocence, despite her struggle to keep calm.

The man, gun still held towards her, trudged over and ripped the book from her hands, throwing it onto the floor.

“I said on your feet!” He yelled in her face, backing away so he was a few feet from the bed.

She stared into his eyes, an impassive look on her face. Y/n looked back down at the gun.

With a purse of her lips and a shrug she stated, “I’d rather not.”

The man’s soldier esc demeanor nearly slipped at her blatant defiance of his orders. “It’s not an option lady! Get up.”

She chuckled. “Y’see, lad. I’ve been on my feet all day. Have you ever worn heels for over six hours? Rather painful you know.”

Her cocky attitude betrayed her quickly beating heart that was full of adrenaline.

In an effort to scare her, he menacingly stepped forward. “I ain’t afraid to hurt you lady, but the boss wants you alive. If you keep disobeying me, I'm allowed to use force.”

She rolled her eyes. “Oh really, and who is your boss? I must thank him for not wanting me dead.”

She knew she was playing with her life, but if this boy was as inexperienced as he looked, she would get the information she needed to warn Tommy. Granted, if she got out of this situation.

“Sabini.” The man bluntly answered.

Y/n swallowed. This wasn’t good. If Sabini’s men were here and not in London, she needed to warn Thomas immediately. Her heart pumped faster than she thought possible and every nerve in her body was on the verge of trembling from fear.

“I see.” Y/n turned her head to the foot of the bed. “Well, like I said, I’d rather not get up. Matter of fact, I’d rather keep reading. So be a dear and hand me my book, would ya?” She was stalling.

“C’mon lady, stop being stubborn. You don't even got a weapon to be making these demands.” The man sneered.

Y/n slowly adjusted herself so that she scooted away from the pillows that propped her up. She straightened her legs on the bed, her left crossed over her right. Then she leaned back on her arms, purposely pushing up her chest to show off her unbinded chest. Hopefully, he’d be dumb enough to look at her distraction, and he was.

“Ah, well. It was worth a shot. I can tell that you're new to this whole— kidnapping thing. If you want to get better at it then you should learn this.” She paused before looking back at the man, “Always do research on your target.”

The young man’s brows furrowed, obviously confused.

“If you did your research, like a good little gangster,” She began as she slid her left leg up off her right, causing her silk nightgown to slowly expose her leg. The man’s eyes roamed her leg once she stopped moving, leaving her left leg in a bent position. She reached for the hem of the dress and raised it further up her left leg, stopping until it got to her mid thigh, “Then you would know, that I’m always armed.”

In a swift and well practiced motion, Y/n grabbed the sharp, throwing knife from her thigh holster, and threw. The knife landed in the man’s chest, in his heart. Looking down at the knife, the man stumbled backwards, tripping over his own feet and falling onto his back. Blood quickly formed a growing splotch of red on his shirt. Y/n quickly stood from the bed to remove the gun from the man’s hand, she then crouched over him.

She placed her hand on the knife handle, “It was a shame you didn’t do your research.” Then she pushed the knife forward, until she felt through the blade that it had really punctured his heart.

Y/n stood over the man’s body, gun in her hand, and watched the blood puddle grow. She backed away until her knees hit the bed and gave way. Letting out a shaky breath, she sat with the gun in her lap. In an attempt to avoid looking at the body laid in front of her, Y/n stared at the ceiling.

The adrenaline began to wear off, and the reality of the situation dawned on her. She could have died, quite easily too. If her attacker had not been so inexperienced and if she wasn’t wanted brought back alive, she could have died. Then, she thought of her husband.

Tommy.

Had the man lying dead on her carpet opened the door and shot, Tommy would have had to come home to her dead body instead. The thought of Tommy finding her body, cold and bloody, scared her more than death. She couldn’t imagine the pain of him being alone. He would blame himself for her death. He would say he couldn’t protect her, and he would loathe himself for the rest of his life. Tears began to prick her eyes and her throat tightened. She squeezed her eyes shut, willing the tears to go away and for her erratic heart beat to calm down.

She killed a man.

That’s the only thought she could process. Her emotions muddled her thinking. Never before had she used her knives to kill. She used guns, from far away. She used punches to knock people out. She used her knives to injure, but never before had she needed them to kill. She was slightly glad for the memory of Tommy coming back home from an errand, returning with the thin knife holster that he insisted she wear when he wasn’t home. She was also glad that she made it a rule for herself to never take it off unless Tommy was home with her.

Then, the silence of the house was broken again. She flinched. This time, the sound came from the front door slamming open and muffled shouts that she could only register as her name.

“Y/n! Y/n where are you?” The voice shouted.

She couldn’t pinpoint who it was, not in her boggled state of mind, but she knew it was safe. So she answered.

“In the bedroom.”

Her eyes were still shut and her head faced the ceiling when Tommy rushed in.

“Y/n.” His voice was slightly breathless as he took in the sight before him.

The room was covered in warm, candle light, giving a complete opposite tone to the tense atmosphere. His wife sat on the bed with a gun in her lap. A man, with his wife’s knife in his chest, laid dead on the ground and a puddle of blood surrounded his wound.

Y/n opened her eyes and looked at her husband. She could see the fear and worry that filled his eyes, his face in slight shock.

Thomas was relieved to see his wife unharmed, but he could see the tears that were threatening to fall. Her slumped shoulders were signs of exhaustion. The way her chest moved up and down with heavy breathes told him she was on the verge of holding herself together.

Arthur and John came bounding up the stairs next, and found their places on either side of Thomas.

Y/n’s voice came out void of emotion, but her teary eyes said it all. “One of Sabini’s men.” She stated before turning her eyes to the ceiling once more, trying to blink away tears. “Please get him out of my sight.” The growing puddle of blood made her want to throw up.

“You heard her,” Thomas said in a low tone, staring at his wife with concerned eyes. “Get rid of ‘em.” His voice was just above a whisper.

Arthur and John stepped forward, grabbing the man by his arms and lugged him out of the room. Only once the man had been removed did Thomas walk towards his wife. Only when he wrapped his arms around her did she let herself cry. She let herself sob and express how truly scared she was when the man burst into her room, and pointed a gun to her head.

Thomas held her close and kissed her head. He whispered in her ear that she was okay, and that she did what she needed to do. Holding her close, he told her he loved her, and promised to never let anything like that happen to her again.

Okay. DoorDash. For nobody wondering. It is my middle of the night posts about weird things I’m doing or have bought on sale once again. Cryptic advice time.

1. Worth it, but only if you live in a very busy area (city/suburbs) and have a car that isn’t falling apart. It can literally be nonstop, which is how they advertise up to $21 an hour.

2. Your goal is $20 an hour, which is generally 2 deliveries per hour. ONLY if you are going during $3+ peak pay times which is usually between 9pm to midnight and beyond, but can be 5pm-9pm on weekends. $2+ is good too - but you want to rely more on DoorDash paying you than tips bc they are unpredictable. Try to only accept rides that are guaranteed $9+.

3. Last week I made $278 in 15 hours of drive time which is a little over $18 an hour. I made the mistake of going just whenever the first day, and I averaged $12 an hour so it messed up my average.

4. It should be obvious that you have to pay your own taxes. Track your mileage each trip. It helps with deductions later. Any car maintenance counts as deductions as well so save all your receipts.

5. You may end up in the middle of nowhere by the end of your shift. Wherever you deliver to you are still “on the clock” and may end up choosing deliveries in other areas just by default of how the system works. Wherever you are closest to.

6. Most people ordering DoorDash are rich so you end up going to a lot of developments. I mean, heck, I was going to order IHOP the other day and it would have been $25 for just one breakfast.

7. Buy a phone stand for the car. Got mine at 5below and it sucks but it will do. Prepare to charge your phone the entire time especially if you use Bluetooth. You can also deduct this as a work purchase. Receipts.

Idk what else. Just be realistic if you are thinking about it. It will ruin your car if it already doesn’t run well or is unpredictable. You need to be checking out your fluids regularly. And keeping up with maintenance. You can’t drive like a tornado. Don’t bother doing it full time. I mean that in the really annoying “work smarter, not harder” way. Only work when it’s worth it to. More money, less miles.

9. The unfortunate thing is they do a background check on your criminal record and driving record. While this is a safety and liability issue that I understand, it does discriminate against people who may only have minor non-violent offenses. You need proof of insurance. Literally you are liable essentially for everything, so I wouldn’t recommend doing it for “fun.”

10. The app does let you report bad restaurant experiences and wait times to help improve your runs, as well as warns you if certain places have been problematic in the past. Treat it like any delivery system or any take-out situation. Double check before you leave.

Lastly for gods sake don’t do rides literally downtown in a city unless it’s worth it/you live there. Traffic is just awful and impacts your time management. Don’t be afraid of “bad neighborhoods” either. You’ll be fine. And if you don’t want to go there, you don’t have to. Simple as that.

Eh??? There you go

anyway the modern AU was sorta supposed to be a one and done but the more i think about it the more i think jayce is actually truly my the ideal Gamer Boyfriend and i don’t mean ideal in a desirable way but in a platonic ideal sort of way. he goes to the gym every morning and by morning i mean 11am and that’s still three hours before viktor is awake and then he comes home and sits at his computer for 16 hours without moving. he can’t cook scrambled eggs to save his life. he bought an ugly as hell $400 fleece jacket and was like “this is cheap right” and then never wears it because he lives in LA. put a mic on him and he is capable of repeating exactly three stock phrases before he starts trashtalking someone on the enemy team but for some reason people keep putting mics on him. he can nut and then thirty seconds later be talking about why yuumi is a braindead champion and should be nerfed (viktor tells him to shut the hell up and git gud and if you argue with viktor for too long he pulls out numbers and ratios and patch history that no one has any business remembering five years after they've retired from pro play. this doesn't stop jayce from arguing with viktor at all). his twitter following is 82% male and 18% female which is exceptionally well balanced for the scene and he only dimly understands why it’s 18% female and why anyone else cares. he tilts after two losses in solo queue but he thinks if he gets some poggers sex he can mentally reset except that his boyfriend has been in the garage for the past three weeks building some kind of giant robot so instead he goes on a nine game loss streak before his ubereats order arrives and he's forced to get up and answer the door in the middle of his ranked game even though viktor is right there in the garage ignoring jayce's plight. he trips over the cat on the way back and spills a little of his diet coke and doesn't clean it up until he steps in the sticky spot three days later. his jg somehow stole baron while he was gone though so somehow they win anyway and then by the time he manages to win his third cool down aram he realizes that it's like 9PM and he does actually have a job so then he spends 6 hours "analyzing" league of legends before going downstairs to annoy viktor so much that he has no choice except to come to bed and cuddle him until he falls asleep. idk i would keep him

fluffy scenarios of kita, akaashi, and iwaizumi staying up with their fem s/o because she's studying for a big exam please & thank you

im serious when i tell u i couldnt stop smiling when i wrote this, thanks for requesting anon <3

kita, akaashi and iwaizumi staying up with their fem s/o because she’s studying for an exam.

—kita shinsuke.

kita is 100% the type of person who has a consistent sleeping schedule

like bitch will sleep at 10pm and wake up at 5am bright and early and fucking gorgeous

you’ll never catch this guy slippin’ (the inarizaki vbc will upvote this statement)

the latest he’ll stay up is midnight which means that hes going to take more of the afternoon and evening to study

you’ll be studying with him in his room and kita will make sure the surroundings are peaceful enough for you to study effectively

he never hesitates to help you with some topics you don’t understand for the classes you both take

sometimes gives you studying tips that are really helpful

you check the time just to see how far you’ve come- its almost 10pm

youre worried about kita because bby has to sleep and you don’t want him to stay up for you !!

“kita?? kita where’d you go?” you’ll call out, thinking he’s already getting ready to head to bed

but you find him in the kitchen and you smell... noodles??? you watch him pour them into two separate bowls huh?

“i know you’ll be staying up late so have some noodles to regain energy.” he’ll carefully glide the bowl over to your side of the table, his black-dyed hair tips were still damp from taking a shower earlier

oof sis were u that focused on ur work that you didn’t realise he went down to cook you sth??

you have your notes in your hands, walking over to the table and sitting down “you’re not heading to bed yet? you don’t have to wait for me yknow.”

he turns the stove off, bringing his bowl of noodles to the table. “don’t you still have a few topics to cover? let’s continue.”

your face goes :O but your heart goes 💓💓💓

unbeknownst to himself, he’ll casually play with your feet under the table while he asks you questions to answer omg :( hes so cute tf

youre basically having a midnight study date with him

he’ll also compliment you when he feels like you’re running out of energy because he knows it gives you energy boosts :”)))

—akaashi keiji.

i firmly believe that this bby is a master at all nighters and does them when necessary

so when 9pm or 10pm hits, you both are in the kitchen making coffee because you know you still have much more to study

you love watching keiji make coffee like sometimes you stop stirring your own just to watch him and when he notices hes like “😳😳 what”

and you just shrug “you’re cute”

i guess keiji’s not used to your random compliment bursts so he just //blushes//

and then u give him a kith because his cute face deserves it

youre also wearing his sweater because he has an abundance of them in his closet and you totally raid it every few days

you guys head back to his room and begin studying again

the night is tranquil and the house is silent, it truly feels so serene when you put aside the thought of your final exams

then you remind yourself of the reality and it feels like shit all over again

akaashi obviously senses your distress so he put a hand on your outstretched leg. the warmth plays with your cool skin, relaxing your nerves a tad bit

it was the little things he did that made u feel better and maybe if you squint a little harder, you’ll know he’s telling you “i love you”

akaashi’s gonna be finished with his coffee within five minutes LMAO hes a fast sipper

youre wondering how hes able to pull this off every few months but i guess everyone has their own secret super power no?

at some point you find yourself dozing off at 1.30

“you ready for tomorrow?” “absolutely not” pfft. akaashi’s gonna think. he’ll drag your ass to his bed so you can sleep properly and avoid straining a muscle

“get rest, love, you should at least be awake for the exam.” is the last thing hear before you fall asleep on his comfy sheets

—iwaizumi hajime.

lots of chaos in the beginning and thats because you two made a stupid joke about godzilla and now you can’t stop laughing like a dumbass every time you look at iwa

“y/n look at me-” “PFFFTTT” its literally the middle of the night and youve probably awoken the dead 🤷🏻‍♀️ no biggie tho

lowkey makes it easier for you to study because you’re awake awake yknow?

iwa defs likes to take care of you. he’ll pass you a drink to sip on whenever it looks like youre about to lose concentration and asks you from time to time if you feel like youve studied enough

WILL GIVE YOU A MASSAGE but you tell him no because that’ll only make you sleepier

asks you questions about your exam material. he sometimes gets confused by the question because he doesn’t take that class

he actually finds it cute when you have to shut your eyes to think of the answer and when you open them, hes staring at you fondly

its like “😳 is there something on my face you porcupine”

DID I JUST CALL IWA A PORCUPINE

this will lead you two into tickle fights and iwa convinced (not really) you that you should have regular tickle fights because ENERGY and BRAIN AWAKE 👍🏼

“call me a porcupine one mo-” ok this is cute because he tickles a spot that is super ticklish for you and you look- omg- you look so adorable all smiley

back to the studying part haha oh no youre starting to get sleepy

but you don’t wanna sleep yet!! you barely covered enough but iwa’s been watching u study and hes pretty sure you’ve covered the entire book since you started earlier this morning

idk i just feel like it would be nice if you laid flat on his lap and he just asks you questions and you try to answer them

his touch is just very nice and makes you feel safe yknow :)

you end up dozing off most of the time but you do try your very best to stay awake pls stop ur making iwa combust

after fifteen minutes of questions, you’ll surrender, exhausted

“tired?” you’ll hum in agreement and he’ll flip you over just to carry you into bed, tucking you in
