do you think we could maybe have the Gang’s reactions to the reader coming into work after having spontaneously cut their previously longer hair the night before? I swear I’m one listen to brother by kodaline away from doing it
please, and thank you
STOPP THIS IS SUCH A GOOD PROMPT BC IVE DONE THIS BEFORE multiple times.
yes I absolutely can
The Gang's reaction to reader impulse cutting their hair shorter!
CW/info:Gn reader! Sfw!
Characters: Reagan, Gigi, Andre, and Brett (I'm sorry Myc and Glenn lovers idk how to write them at ALL)
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Brett:
- barely questions it tbh?
- not that he doesn't have any questions, he's just more concerned about how you're feeling rather than how your hair looks
- LISTENNN he's been friends with so many people in college and high-school. Most of there reactions to an emotional break down was cutting their hair or dying it impulsively
- After you reassure him you're doing fine and that it was just a spur of the moment thing, he's just very supportive! Says it looks very good on you!!
- even offers to help you style it bc he 100% owns like 15 tubs if hair gel
Reagan:
- Tries really hard to mind her own business and not be rude by asking but you can just. Feel her staring at your hair every 5 seconds
- "If you're gonna ask, just ask."
- "what the fuck happened to your hair?"
- YOU EXPLAIN IT WAS A SPUR OF THE MOMENT THING OK???
- YOU WERE LISTENING TO MUSIC. YOU WERE IN YOUR FEELING AND U JUST KINDA. Snip snip yknow?
- she honestly can't judge you because she's pretty sure she's done the same thing when she was drunk before
- gives you a shitty little comb and tells u to at least try and brush down the uneven ends so it looks normal and offered to take you to her place after work
- she's not a professional or anything, but she can do something basic to make it look good. (Like have u seen her hair in the wedding episode... it's so cute)
Gigi:
- the moment she sees you she's like "OH MY GOD NOOO😭"
- You worry she doesn't like that it's short. She assures you it's not the fact that it's short, it's the fact that you impulse cut it in the messiest way possible
- drops everything she is doing to give you the cutest make over ever.
- actually makes you feel even more confident than before about your new appearance??
- she tells you next time you want to cut your hair to TELL HER and she will always find a way to make it work. She wants you to be happy!♡
Andre:
- ok be real he probably cares the least bc his hair care routine is just like. The generic shampoo and conditioner and wash. No styling or anything
- so if you walked in missing like half your hair from the lower half bc you cut off he'd just be like "!! Nice cut!"
- might just impulsively walk up to you and start petting your hair without saying anything. He just wants to see how it feels
- HONESTLY... I rlly can't see him having a big reaction. He just. Does not care and would support it

Hi hello I absolutely adore your band AU!! I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the band's appearances, like clothes/hair dye/etc.? Especially given you've mentioned things past highschool
I rlly rlly want to draw these dorks practising together and want to stay true to your ideas :3
Hello I saw this just before I was going to go to sleep and then laid awake Thinking About It for the next 30 minutes so here I am!
Under the cut because there's a LOT!!
Richie
He layers just as badly as in canon
So in my head it goes:
Long sleeved stripey T-shirt
then a graphic short tee on top (which eventually becomes a band T-shirt nearer then end of senior year when Steph joins the band! (And when I design the logo lmao))
THEN a zip up hoode
I'm not done
Then a leather jacket he found at a garage sale (it's slightly too big for him normally so it fits over everything else.)
Ripped jeans + belt chains
He has one of those goth belts with all the metal eyelets in it
Boots!! He has loads of different coloured laces he wears each day!!
And ofc he has his blue hair
He has his ears pierced too- he has these skeleton studs and they're all he wears.
Oh and the green and black bracelet Max eventually makes when he becomes the band's friend. It's tied onto his belt loops every morning.
Peter
Pretty similar to canon in my head
He takes off his suspenders and bowtie when they practice though (he feels safe then)
His hair is longer! He wears it in a man bun because it made him feel more masc before he came out to everyone (in middle school)
When he felt more comfortable (and after he came out) he decided to keep his hair long and the man bun just kind of stuck
He gets an undercut maybe? I can't decide in whether that's good or not.
He had LOADS of ear piercings (industrial, tragus, three on each lobe, conch, helix) but he's too scared to get facial ones somehow
He wears dangly earrings in his main lobe piercing
After he makes friends with Steph and stops wearing his suspenders+bowtie altogether he unbuttons and untucks his shirt during practice.
(Steph almost passes out the first time he does this. She can see his collar bones. Victorian woman seeing ankle for the first time core)
Richie clips a short chain onto his belt loops "So we match!"
His yellow and orange bracelet becomes his hairband- you can't usually see it unless you're looking for it/it's in a ponytail
Ruth
Ruth was actually so so difficult for me to decide
Her normal style just goes so hard yknow?
I think she starts wearing Docs like Richie
But she just has rainbow laces and that's it she doesn't change them
She gets a leather jacket too and paints the band logo on (badly)
The band tee she'll wear but it'll be over-sized and half tucked in
Logo front and back babey!!
I don't know what else for Ruth so if you have any ideas please feel free to use them
Her blue and white bracelet is just on her wrist like a normal person lmao
Steph
Nose piercing Nose piercing!! She has a little ring
Her style is already SO SO good for the band AU!!!
She has fingerless leather gloves
She also has tattoos methinks
The beginnings of a rose + thorns sleeve on her left arm
And a shitty stick and poke star on her right wrist (over her veins) she got when she was 16- it's started to fade so she gets other stars tattooed on her wrist around it (one for each band member?)
She's the one who commissions an artist to design the logo, and gets t-shirts made for each of them!!
She, and Ruth both get the logo put on leather jackets. Steph's is proper vintage and is more of a biker jacket though.
She tries to convince Richie and Peter to get ones too, but Richie doesn't want to damage his jacket and Peter refuses to wear one at all (he won't wear the shirt either)
(She catches him using it as a sleep shirt. She teases him about it for weeks)
She cuts her band top into a crop top but she doesn't always wear it.
She dyes the tips of her hair red for while
But it fades into pink weirdly quick
So she dyes it back to her normal ombre
Steph's pink bracelet hangs from a hole made in one of her drumsticks. Her bracelet was made first (Max cried when he saw it)
Max
Max isn't technically part of the band
But he is their #1 fan forever and ever
So he has a shirt too that he wears to all of their (eventual) gigs!! The logo is a bit faded/damaged and washed out because he keeps washing it the wrong way
He has a scar in his eyebrow from when Steph punched him after she first joins the band (this kickstarts his redemption.) (Punchstarts?)
And he has his purple and yellow bracelet around his wrist!
I still haven't figured out how to fit Grace into this AU at all. I do HC that she thinks all music other than Christian Music is Of The Devil™ and she plays the flute but that's about it honestly... One of these days I'll figure something out

I loved your writing, and I had always thought you were a talented writer. Your handmaid series was one of my favorite Aemond series on this site. But I will not lie, I’m a bit disappointed at how easily you seem to abandon your work and followers. So many people have been anxiously awaiting the next part, which you constantly teased, only to receive a lousy “Sorry, I’m not in the right mindset” explanation for your sudden absence? Yikes. That feels like a slap in the face to your followers.
hi anon!
okay so i debated whether to answer this, and i mean i thought about it for HOURS. like pacing-in-the-kitchen + chewing on my nails + having a lil tummy ache.
yeah, maybe that “i’m not in the right mindset” explanation wasn’t the best, and at this point, i rlly don’t have anything left to lose so here is the raw and ugly truth:
(tw// mentions of depression, suicidal thoughts, and an eating disorder below.)
if you didn’t know, i was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa in the fall of 2020, along with depression and anxiety. i’ve been in recovery since then.
however, these past several weeks, i unfortunately relapsed back into my ed, and i began experiencing my heavy depression episodes. i’ve had a talk with my family, and i’ve been trying to regain my focus and strength, but its been so fucking difficult as hell.
that is why i haven’t been writing. it is so incredibly hard to find the motivation to write when you just wanna …. yknow …. die? or not exactly die but more curl up in a ball and cry your eyes out until there is nothing left inside you. fanfic writing became a strong and favorite coping mechanism of mine, and it has been so heartbreaking to feel that passion/motivation slowly die away. that is the main reason why i have decided to take a step back from writing and posting and being active on this blog.
i love my fanfics and i love all my readers. y’all have been an unexpected but greatly appreciated light in my life. y’all have genuinely given me a reason for living, as silly as that might sound.
so pls pls PLS (with a cherry on top) believe me when i say that i never mean to abandon y’all. i’m still here! i’m just trying to find myself again — and when i do, i’ll return to give y’all the best smutty fics i can whip up hehe.
to end things on a positive note, here is a picture of my sadie <33 she’s helping in keeping her momma afloat in these shitty waters.

hiii!! do i think you could possibly do one shots of pete wentz n mikey way (poly relationship) with a s/o who goes mute when they r rlly stressed or overstimulated or have just had a shitty day— kinda just how they make the reader feel better n how they handle it, yknow that typa stuff—
if not thats a-ok!!!!!!!!! i don’t mind :]
sure, I'm not sure if you meant headcanons or a oneshot? so I just wrote headcanons based on what you said in your ask :] if you wanted a oneshot I can rewrite it though
Pete, Mikey, and a Mute Sensory Overloaded Reader
Pete Wentz x gn!Reader x Mikey Way
not era specific
WARNINGS: mentions of meltdown
I think Mikey is the first to realize, he's had a fair share of being pretty silent and being overwhelmed that he can recognize it in someone pretty quickly. Plus he's fairly in tune with reading someone, especially you.
He definitely immediately tries to get you whatever you need, handing you your communication cards almost as soon as you walk into the room he's in
it will take a few minutes for Pete to realize what's happening, only picking it up when Mikey hands you the communication cards.
Pete gets sort of anxious about these things, worried he's going to make it worse somehow. You've reassured him that he doesn't make it worse but he still get anxious about it.
I think Mikey is a lot more level headed with this and will probably do a lot of more practical things (making sure you have your cards and are using them when needed, turning off anything that's too bright or making too much noise, etc)
While Pete is the type to just do whatever Mikey says to do, like getting things or making things. You need blankets? Already being thrown on top of you on the couch. You need one of your comfort foods? He's already making it just how you like it (he practiced even if it's a really simple thing to make) You need him to get you something from the store? Which store cause he's on his way there STAT.
These two are doing everything in their power to make you comfortable.
Personally I'm more prone to meltdowns when I get home after being overstimulated all day/having a bad day + not being able to communicate makes it worse so I feel like they would have some preparations for that
if you cry a lot during meltdowns they have a cols bottle of water just waiting for you when you catch your breath enough to drink
if you don't like touch during meltdowns they're more than okay with giving you your space
if you're not likely to have meltdowns they'd still be prepared just in case you do start crying though.
If you like pressure to help calm you down Pete would go get your weighted blanket (that they bought you) as quickly as possible and they the two would lay on top of your stomach and chest to give more pressure
if you can't handle touch or anything like that while in this state they are A-OK giving you other things to hold onto like blankets and stuffed animals and your security items
All in All they're trying their best to get you through this and doing whatever you need at that moment from running a bath to just putting on your comfort TV show.

FAME AU- newsies
im gonna talk a bit ab their jobs and stuff but also just hcs that i have of them in this universe. i would love to make this into an actual au with each chapter focusing on a different character but i dont have the time rn. the ships are javid, blush and ralbert, although i don't talk about them much. i rlly want to, maybe on another post i will
Jack “Cowboy” Kelly - Artist
Age when the au takes place: 26
Song: You’re On Your Own Kid - Taylor Swift
Jack would have grown up in the foster system. His parents died in a car crash when he was young, leaving him an orphan.
Since he was a kid he would’ve used art as a way to escape the shitty situation that he was in. He would’ve been in numerous bad foster homes, and he would’ve been failing school, but art would be the one constant that would allow him to escape.
Then at 15, he got adopted by Medda, and she took him to art classes and bought him proper supplies
Crutchie would be his foster brother
Jack went to art school. He started entering (and winning) contests, as well as publishing his art online. He got an agent and the attention of some important people who helped him in his journey, giving him positive critiques and advice.
Then someone really famous would’ve purchased one of his works and that made him blow up
Jack would live in an apartment in the centre of Manhattan. His apartment would always be a mess, and he’d usually do most of his paintings there, so a lot of things are permanently stained with acrylic.
He DIY’s a lot of his clothes, painting on his jeans and jackets and things like that. This was a habit that he kept since the foster system to try to make the shitty clothes he had a bit more him, and he never stopped doing it.
This also means that he DIY’s so many things in his apartment, and it always turns out amazing. Doesn’t like the colour of that couch? He dyes it. Feels like the wall is too bare? He’ll paint something over it. Feels like the windows are too boring? He’ll buy a kit and make them into fake-stained windows that he can peel off when he wants to, in case he wants to sell the apartment or he gets bored of it.
He’s also amazing at gift-giving because he always makes sure to write a card or add something handmade to the actual gift. He used to give his boyfriend handmade flowers so they’d last forever before, yknow, they broke up (he would’ve chated on Jack)
Other than art, he would be a big sports fan. He would love F1 and would eventually get a VIP pass to the paddock. He’d be a Red Bull fan.
David “Mouth” Jacobs - Director
Age when the au takes place: 26
Song: the lakes - Taylor Swift
David’s mother would have been an actress. She hadn’t been very famous, but it already gave him an in the industry.
He used to participate in the school musicals as the “director’s assistant”.
He preferred movies over the theatre though, and he often wrote his own movies that he would’ve loved to direct someday.
He made a lot of short films with his friends and participated in different contests, building his portfolio for when he went to college.
In college, he continued to participate in many different movie contests and got a lot of recognition for his short films. He would have a very distinct movie style, very much giving “dark academia”.
He’d be given various awards for his work and eventually, he’d get to direct a full movie. It would do pretty well for being his debut.
He’d continue creating short films and co-directing some movies. He’d start working on more important movies and gaining a large following.
His most popular movie would be one that would’ve been inspired by a painting. One of Jack’s paintings. It would be about the obsessed artist trope (think Black Swan or Whiplash).
David would live in Boston, and most of his short films would be filmed there.
Outside of directing, David reads a lot, it’s his way of escaping from the world for a moment.
He’d love vintage books and would have them scattered all around his house. He’s a big fan of the classics.
Has a black cat named Dawn.
He’s a very private person. He doesn’t really date much, and he doesn’t post stuff online. This all changed when he met Jack, of course.
Antonio “Racetrack” Higgins - Formula 1
Age when the au takes place: 23
Song: Labyrinth - Taylor Swift
Racing number: 16
He drives for Ferrari
He’d come from a well-off family, but they wouldn’t be rich. His dad would’ve been an F2 driver, but he never made it to F1. He would’ve been a huge Ferrari fan, something that he passed on to his son.
Started karting when he was 5 years old
His parents would’ve gotten divorced when he was 7. He would’ve blamed himself because they used to fight a lot over him doing karting. His mom didn’t want him anywhere near racing, but his dad supported him fully.
He’d have a 5-year difference with his little brother
After his mom remarried, she moved to France with his little brother (Romeo), while Race stayed in Italy with his dad.
At some point, Race almost had to quit racing because his dad wouldn’t have been able to afford it. However, his stepdad offered to help, and they had no choice but to accept. Race would have a really bad relationship with his stepdad and his mother, he would’ve been much closer to his dad.
He joined the Ferrari Driving Academy, wanting to drive for them once he joined F1
He joined F1 when he was 19, and joined Ferrari a year later, full filling his lifelong dream.
The same year he joined Ferrari his mother died.
His goal is to win a championship someday, and is currently second in the driver’s standings. But Red Bull is dominating and unbeatable, so the chances of winning this year are slim.
He would live in Rome. He has 2 cats, a Ragdoll called Sofia (but he calls her Sof) and an orange cat called Stella
He would meet Jack in the paddock and they’d hit it off immediately, become really good friends. Despite the fact that Jack was there to support Red Bull. He’d know who Jack was because his ex-girlfriend would’ve been an artist and a huge fan.
Outside of racing, he would love music. He’d play the piano and the guitar. He started composing his own songs after his mom died and continued after he broke up with his girlfriend (they would’ve dated for 2 years, and broken up a year before the au started). But he’d keep them to himself.
Think folklore and evermore (particularly seven, the lakes and tolerate it)
However, he would mostly listen to rock music, completely different from what he composed.
His favourite band is “Untitled”, and he’d go see them when they came to Italy on their world tour.
Albert DaSilva, Kid Blink, Jojo de la Guerra and Finch Cortez - Band
Band Name: Untitled (I'm bad at names, if I think of smth better I might change it)
Genre: Rock
Albert and Finch met in high school and became best friends. Finch played the guitar and Albert played the drums, and they usually did covers of songs together.
Flash forward to college and they meet Blink. They went to college together studying music composition and became close with Blink, who plays the bass guitar. Suddenly they have a new addition to their band. At this point, their still just making covers of songs.
Then they meet Jojo, who also joins their band. He sings. After this, they start making their own songs and playing at bars. They got noticed by a record label and signed a contract.
They gathered a large following when their first album was released, but they blew up with the lead single of their second album. After that, they quickly rose to fame.
In each album, there is one song dedicated/about each of the members, but they never say which song is about who
Fans love to speculate, though, and a lot of the time they get it right
They all live in Manhattan.
Albert
Age when the AU takes place: 24
Song: I Can See You - Taylor Swift
Lives with Finch, their roommates.
They have a dog named Cheese. Why? No one knows.
His mom would’ve died soon after he was born, and he’d grow up with his dad and older brothers. They’d struggle a bit financially, his dad would be working all the time and when he’d be home he would usually be drunk.
He’d never be abusive, just incredibly distant and Albert would have to take care of him after his brothers moved out.
Once he moved out he kind of cut contact with most of his family
He has a Twitch account and streams all the time. He’s a big fan of video games, particularly horror games.
He often calls with friends and plays with them, for example, he calls Elmer a lot (his best friend other than Finch)
He also skates
He tried to take Finch to a skate park to teach him once and it did not end up well
Probably the most disorganized person you’re ever going to meet. His room is a mess and it drives Finch insane.
He would have a bit of a reputation when it comes to dating. He usually wouldn’t get involved in anything serious that lasted more than a couple of months.
Then he’d do a world tour where he would meet Race, a Formula 1 driver who apparently loved their music, and all that would change
Finch
Age when the AU takes place: 24
Song: Welcome To New York - Taylor Swift
Lives with Albert, their roommates.
He’s a big movie fan, particularly sci-fi movies.
He’s not much of an animal person. But in middle school, he used to have an obsession with birds, so Albert started calling him “Finch” and it just stuck
He’s really close to his family. His parents would be so supportive of him, they’d be there at almost every concert. They’d be really proud.
His fashion sense is atrocious but he’s trying his best and that’s what matters
He loves cooking. He’s really good at it too, and he’s always trying new recipes.
He has a TikTok account that has literally nothing to do with the band, it’s just him sharing the recipes he made. He also has a series where he does a meal for each college major and things like that.
He has a secret Tumblr account where he interacts with fans and no one knows it’s him.
People are aware of the existence of this account, but no one knows it’s him
Kid Blink
Age when the AU takes place: 25
Song: It's Nice To Have A Friend - Taylor Swift
Lives with his boyfriend, Mush, who owns a cat cafe.
They met in freshman year of high school and became best friends before they started dating in Junior year
He gives their PR manager a heart attack each time he opens his mouth because this man has absolutely no filter.
Not allowed to post his own things on Twitter because he would get cancelled in a second
He used to watch BuzzFeed Unsolved religiously, but now he watches Watcher all the time.
Always knows the most random and disturbing facts. He’ll say the most unhinged things at the most unexpected times and provide no context.
He only posts things about the band, he’s a very private person and doesn’t like people getting in his business.
His private account however is basically a fan account for his boyfriend, since that’s almost all he posts about. And his cat cafe.
Only his family and friends follow him there, though.
Also has a secret Tumblr account, but it’s just to see the Watcher posts.
Middle kid energy
Jojo
Age when the AU takes place: 23
Song: Foolish One - Taylor Swift
He does pottery!!
He’s a plant dad and all of his flower pots are made by him
He writes his own music separate from the band, but he doesn’t release any of them. It’s just something he does for fun sometimes
He was practically raised by his older brother since his parents weren’t great
His brother was the one who helped pay for his singing lessons when he was a kid. His parents didn't want him to have anything to do with music, they didn't think he'd make anything of himself
But his brother supported him fully and it got him to where he is now
Wears his heart on his sleeve and tends to get hurt because of it
