You probably would have categorized yourself as a ‘good girl’ before that fateful Saturday of March 24th, albeit one who slipped up just enough to land yourself in that Saturday Detention in the first place. You had made it through most of your high school career without feigning illness to stay home or cutting class, but oh no, the one time you decided to skip was the time you would get caught. It felt like the universe was conspiring against you when Vernon caught you and your two friends sneaking back onto campus through one of the back doors in the East Wing. It was like he knew you had all gone out and was just waiting for you to come crawling back. You immediately lamented to yourself that you should have never let your friends convince you to play hooky, that your life would be over and you’d be suspended for sure. You consider yourself lucky to have only earned Saturday school and had arrived that morning ready to pay your penance and return to your title of ‘good girl.’ That is, until you met John Bender. Since then, you tried everything in your power to toe the line to get as many Saturday Detention slips as possible, knowing he’d be there.
There was just something about him that drew you in, like a spell had been cast over you or something. You knew you should have been disgusted and horrified by the things he said to Claire, but your instinctive side made you feel prickly and hot instead as he questioned her, “Have you ever been felt up? Over the bra, under the blouse, your shoes off, hoping to God your parents don’t walk in?” Your brain took it as more of a suggestion and you immediately imagined Bender doing just that to you, while you’d card your hands through his long, soft brown hair. You were sure your breath audibly hitched but he didn’t seem to notice, his predatory stare locked on Claire as she swallowed hard and answered, “Do you want me to puke?” Of course, she hid her desire better than you did. Or at least, outwardly protested. But that didn’t stop her from getting to Bender by the end of the day and you had never felt the fiery jealousy that broiled in the pit of your stomach until you saw her kiss him and hand him one of her earrings.
There was just something about him, the way he spoke terrible, filthy things, yet it was coupled with a sweet vulnerable side that you couldn’t resist. You kept your distance at first, flippantly dismissing it as a whirlwind crush…at least for that week or so that he was ‘dating’ Claire. It didn’t take long before that fizzled out, though, and your pangs for Bender came back full-force. It was easy to make it seem like a coincidence those first few Saturdays, “Oh, God, I can’t believe Vernon found me cutting class again,” you’d lie. But John was always one step ahead in reading people and figured you out soon enough.
“You again?” He smirked, walking into the library on one warm April Saturday.
“What can I say? I’m spiraling out of control.” You grinned in response, delighted by his attention…and the fact that it seemed to be just you two this time.
“Mhmm. What are you in for this time?” He questioned, making himself comfortable in his seat next to you at his table. You knew where he always sat and maybe just happened to choose the chair next to his, incidentally, of course.
“Smoking.” You say quickly, quietly. Which spoke volumes to your desire to come here, to see him and spend another weekend with him.
“I’ll say.” He eyed you up and down, making your cheeks turn red before you were interrupted by Vernon coming to berate the two of you. Of course, this was one of John’s pre-assigned detentions from when you first met him. Which retort had earned him this one? ‘Oh, I’m crushed’ or maybe ‘Not even close, bud!’, you wondered while biting back a smile at the memory. You loved the way he stood up to Vernon. It had concerned you a bit at the time, as both escalated and became louder, but it also thrilled you to see him question Vernon’s overinflated sense of authority.
“This should not be your role model, Y/N,” Vernon started to come to a close, indicating John, “If you don’t clean up your act, you’ll just be a female Bender.” 
You scoffed in response, “Promise?” You raised a challenging eyebrow and heard Bender snort, only encouraging you more. 
“Watch it, missy.” He addressed you again, slapping down a worksheet that all of you knew wouldn’t get done, but at least he seemed to have learned his lesson with the ‘essays’ after Brian told him where to shove it, courtesy of The Breakfast Club. He exited in a huff and Bender turned toward you.
“You know, he’s right,” he tutted, clicking his tongue in mock-disapproval, “you’re really going to the dark side. Skipping class and now smoking? I don’t know what to do with ya, kid.”   ‘I have some ideas,’ you thought, silently, while eyeing him. “Tell me, did you just have enough of being perfect all the time, or are you just here to see me?” He grinned deviously, trying to tease you, to get a rise out of you. However, he didn’t know that you were committed to the idea of being with him, to putting all the worry and shame behind you. You’d spent enough time here to repel the shackles of conformity and caring, you were ready to flirt shamelessly and see where that led you.
“Little bit of column A, a little from column B,” you admitted, taking pride in the resulting flustered expression from Bender. It was clear he didn’t expect this change from you. While he sat gaping at you like a fish, you stood up and confidently strode away, knowing Vernon wouldn’t be back unless there was some type of commotion. You sat down, leaning against a shelf of books knowing that Bender would eventually come to you and smirked at the thought.
It didn't take long for your plan to have the desired effect: Bender couldn't resist having attention and someone to talk to, after all. What was he going to do, his assignment? No, you knew he wouldn't let Vernon win. He tried to seem nonchalant about it, as if he were just coming over and actually selecting a book and oh my, you just happened to be here! You half-smirked in victory as he took a seat on the floor next to you.
“So what, pray tell, has brought you here today? I mean, I know the literal cause is for smoking, but I want to know the psychology of it. What made Shermer High’s resident good-girl go down this dark path? How did you,of all people, decide to go bad?” He asked, lowering his voice to a husky tone that left an inching heat between your thighs.
“Hmmm,” you hummed lightly in response, his eyes snapping up to your face while they had previously drifted down. “It’s kind of a secret. Do you want to know?” you lowered your tone conspiratorially, then leaned in towards him after he nodded. Your whispering breath tickled the shell of his ear as you admitted, “You. You are what changed and why I’m here today.” You pulled back and gave him a sickly sweet smile, amused by his responsive gulp.
“Was being innocent always an act, then? You seem like you can just turn it off and on, the way you smiled just now.” 
“Hmm, no.” You giggled in response. “It’s just that…when I met you, I found out that being perfect and preppy wasn’t the only way to live. I was so nervous that first day and thought I’d ruined my life. And then I met you. You were just so cool and didn’t overly care what people think.”
“It comes at a price, you know.”
“All of your Saturdays for all eternity, apparently.” You shrugged.
“It’s more than that,” he looked down at the ground. “I’m not exactly Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky.”
“No, I know that,” you replied, “but you’re more free than anyone I know. They all have sticks up their butts.” You said and he laughed. “Plus, I’d be interested in changing that, in making you happy.” You bit your lip, looking up at him with what you hoped was a meaningful expression…that he’d take the hint. 
He seemed to understand what you were implying because his eyebrows shot up. “What--What exactly are you proposing here?” He asked, taken aback. You had seemed as inexperienced as Claire and Allison when he had met you, and he didn’t think that had changed in the last month or so…unless you were lying in the first place.
“John,” you looked at him directly in the eye as you placed a hand gently on his thigh, “that’s up to you really, isn’t it?”
“Fuck,” he whimpered, meeting your stare. He was almost afraid to make the first move, scared that you would reveal it was all a joke at his expense, that it would all end in utter humiliation. But you just batted your long, dark lashes at him and gave that thigh a gentle squeeze, causing him to throw caution to the wind. He quickly grasped your face between his hands and kissed you, roughly. You let out a light moan to encourage him, and he moved his right hand to the back of your neck, pulling you closer and holding you near.
His lips were surprisingly soft against yours and his years of experience showed. You instantly repaid each of his kisses with your own, leaning forward into him, and bracing one of his wrists, wrapping around it with your hand. The way your lips moved in tandem, synching with your desires and your heart beats only made this feel more right. You obliged his curious tongue as it swept along your lip, begging to explore your mouth. You parted your lips softly, your breath intermingling with Bender’s. You broke the kiss a few moments later, pulling back, out of breath. Bender began kicking himself internally, fearing that he’d crossed a line or that you would finally reveal that you were just messing with him. He looked away, dejectedly, but you didn’t let him keep the wrong idea for long. You repositioned yourself and began to climb into his lap. He whipped his head back up, brown irises and pupils growing wide at your bold stance. He certainly wasn’t expecting that. You eased yourself down, your hips resting snugly against his own, pressing your chest into his.
“You didn’t think I was done, did you?” You smirked down at him, wrapping your arms around his neck, resting them along his broad shoulders. “Honey, I think we’re just getting started.” Sure, you lacked experience, but after you drank in that first kiss, you were hooked and didn’t want to---no, couldn’t stop now. You needed more, even though you weren’t sure how far that extended yet. At this present moment, you were willing to fuck Bender in the library today, right here amongst the stacks. In fact, you were kind of hoping for it, but you didn’t wholly want to push your luck. For now, you connected your lips back to Bender’s, thrusting your tongue into his mouth, desperate for the sensation of your tongue colliding with his. The soft pinks flexed against each other as you threaded your fingers through his hair, running your nails softly along his scalp. 
Bender tried to have some restraint. It’s the thought that counts, right? He didn’t want to move too fast or make any assumptions. At first, he had his hands along your face, then arms. He pinned them next to your waist and gave tentative squeezes as you deepened your kisses, but he could only resist for so long and needed to test the waters. He slid his hands down to your butt and pulled you forward, up along his lap, just a bit. You hummed appreciatively against his lips, and he took this as a good sign. He dug his fingers into the meat of your ass, massaging the dough and muscle there. His touch made you instinctively roll your hips forward, the sharp bones digging into him and creating an aching friction. He groaned as you pulled away and started to kiss down his jaw to the tender skin of his neck. “Are you---sure---you want this?” He panted out, trying to regain his breathing from your previous kisses to his lips. You only answered with a gentle tug to his hair, pulling his head back just enough to give you more access to the crook of his neck and his collarbone. Another lust-filled groan left his lips, urging you to continue. You could feel your desire dampening your clothed core, causing you to give another roll of your hips, which in turn caused Bender to buck upwards. Combined with his tight grip on your behind, you could feel the straining bulge growing beneath you, yearning to touch you. You smirked into his neck before you pulled back, stopping all sensation. You almost could have sworn you heard him whine in protest.
“You’re surprisingly quiet,” you mused. “I thought for sure you would have a million filthy things to say.”
"Honestly, I'm still a little in shock that this is actually happening," he confided, opening up in a rare moment of vulnerability. "You have no idea how much I've thought about this. About you. I'm not convinced it isn't a dream."
"Mm. Something to pass the time in another lonely Saturday detention?" You purred in response, tightening the grasp on his shoulders.
"Yeah," he licked his lips, eyes scanning your face and lowering down your body, "something like that." 
"Don't worry, baby, it's real." You chuckled darkly, bending to kiss his neck again, "and I think I have some idea how much you've thought about this," you ground down against him, indicating your awareness of his hardness, but also added, "because I've thought about you, too. Every. Night." The implication had his mind racing and he gripped you fiercely, placing a rough kiss to your lips. 
He couldn't contain himself much longer, and wanted to oblige your fantasies as well. His hands roamed your body with intense fervor. His touches were no longer hesitant, they came to you with a needy, almost bruising force. He palmed your breasts over your shirt, before squeezing them harshly, causing you to let out a mewling whine. "Please, John. More," you panted in response. His deft hands quickly slid up your shirt, eager to please, and snaked under the silky fabric of your bra. He relished in the warm squish of your skin and plucked one of your nipples between his index and middle fingers, sliding it down into the curve between. "Yes," you whispered in a high-pitched moan, which crumbled to a deep and gravely tone as Bender's teeth sank into your neck. 
He started to unleash his other hand, trailing down your stomach to the button of your jeans. When you didn't protest, he clicked them open quietly, tugging the zipper down gently. He dipped his hand into the spot he had made available, feeling you over your panties. "Fuck, you're so wet already," he groaned against your ear.
"It's cuz I want you … s'bad." You whined in response, desperate for him to touch you, to give you some kind of relief. 
"You're sure?" He asked. He still wasn't entirely certain of your level of experience, even though you were matching him on-par at this point. He was impressed, but still wary that you would call a stop to it, or regret it later. He'd been in those situations enough times. 
"You were just commenting on how wet I am. For you," you pointed out, "please, Bender, don't be a tease." You mocked him slightly, knowing he thought all girls were teases instead. He gave you a gruff growl in response and slipped his fingers wordlessly into your underwear, using the slick from your folds to coat two of his fingers. He slid them into you, easily, causing an electric shock of desire to jolt through your whole body. It was so different from the touches you had administered to yourself while thinking of him. So much better. 
"Don't ever think that John Bender doesn't deliver, sweetheart," he grumbled against the skin of your neck, making sure he was close enough to your ear for you to hear him. Your walls instinctively clenched around him, aroused by his commentary. "Mm, you like that? You like when I call you 'sweetheart?' Or do you just like having my fingers inside you, fucking into you?" He asked, amused. You nodded quickly, which made him chuckle in return, "Well, which is it?" 
"Both." You replied, then moaned loudly as he flexed his fingers in you. 
"God, I love hearing that. Don't hold back, sweetheart. Keep moaning for me. I'll make it worth your while." He said, and you weren't sure what he meant, exactly, but you were eager to find out, so you let out another low moan to encourage him. He delighted you by adding another layer, an insistent thumb that brought circles to your clit, increasing your pleasure tenfold. 
"Mmf! Fuck!" You breathed, arching your back, pushing your hips forward into his touch. "Yes, John. Just like that. Please." 
"Mm. Where did that controlling girl go? Now you're so needy and begging for it." He smirked.
"Shh," you hushed his criticism and bent forward to kiss him hungrily, tiny breathy moans escaping from the seal of your lips as your orgasm started to build. You bucked against him, riding his hand to seek your high, hands now tangling in his hair. You pulled back to whisper, "I'm so close, John. Please. Please make me cum."
"I told you, baby. I always deliver." He quickened his motions to bring you over the edge and you called his name, feeling it echo in the otherwise silent library. He stroked you a couple more times before slowly pulling his fingers away, letting you come down. "If you think you can stand, I wanna show you even more." He raised an eyebrow at you and you nodded, complying immediately. He was right, your bold nature was gone, replaced by a submissive nature that only focused on the desire for more. You stood up quickly, awaiting directions. "Turn around and grab the shelf." He commanded, climbing to his feet, giving an amused huff of a laugh when he saw how quickly you obeyed. He rummaged around in his wallet for a moment, procuring a condom and holding it in front of your face while he stood behind you, close enough that you could feel his erection brush against your ass. "I want to fuck you. Is that alright, sweetheart?" 
"God, please, yes." You rubbed your ass against him, seeking friction and he laughed again. He tugged at your bottoms, shaking them down your thighs in preparation, then pulling his own down. You heard the rip in the foil and gulped. You were still keen to do this, you needed him inside of you, but your heart pounded in fear and you paused for a moment. "John? I've…I've never done this before. Please, take it easy on me." You confessed and felt your cheeks grow hot with embarrassment. 
"Mm. With how good you've been, you could have fooled me." He mused, running a hand down your side, making you shiver. He leaned forward and you could feel his chest pressed against your back as he nudged his chin onto your shoulder. "Don't worry, sweets. I'll take good care of you." He purred back. Yours was not the first virginity that John Bender had claimed, and you were pretty presumptive of that fact. "Bend forward just a little more," he recommended, and you complied. "Good girl," he hummed, making you feel another wave of wetness flood your core. 
He grasped himself in one hand and led his controlled tip against your folds, allowing your arousal to lubricate the condom as he ran it down the shaft. "I'll go nice and slow, baby. I won't hurt you…unless you want me to." You pressed back against him, his words making you feel anguished for contact. He laughed lightly at the effect he had on you, and gently grabbed your hips to steady you. "You ready, sweets?" He asked and you nodded vigorously before feeling him enter you, stretching your walls slowly to accommodate him. It wasn't painful, but a bit uncomfortable as he inched his way in. You'd never felt so full before and it was definitely something you had to get adjusted to. He was slow and patient, as promised, letting you get used to each bit of him before adding more. "You doing alright?" He asked and you nodded. "Good, 'cuz you are so fucking tight, I wasn't sure," he growled and you instantly felt dizzy with desire. He finally had reached the hilt, having pushed all the way into you. "I'm gonna start moving. I wanna fuck you, okay, baby? You tell me if anything doesn't feel right." 
You nodded again and let out a pathetic, "Please, fuck me, John," that made him want to turn feral, but he remembered his promise. He'd take it easy on you…this time. 
He pulled back and gently reinserted himself. "You drive me fucking wild, saying shit like that. You know that?" He asked and you mewled at the feeling of him filling you back up, gripping the bookshelf just a bit tighter. "All you ever had to do was ask, sweetheart. I've been dying to fuck you six ways from Sunday since we've met. You're so, so pretty," he started to pick up the pace with his words, withdrawing and then pressing back into you, "with those big eyes and their fuck-me stare. I was hoping you wanted me. That I wasn't just imagining it. I thought, oh no, a good girl like that can't be into me. Too innocent. Too sweet. But I was wrong, wasn't I? Deep down, you're just as filthy as me. Begging to be fucked in the library? Because you have detention for smoking? My, my." There was that dirty talk you longed for. 
"Mm, yes. I wanted you so bad. From day one, John. I---" you gasped as he hit a particularly sensitive spot, "had to have you." He pulled out and plowed back in with a renewed force, spurred on by your sultry confessions. You moaned and dropped your head forward, feeling your legs beginning to quake. It was so hard to keep yourself upright while he talked to you the way he did, and while he fucked into you with unbridled desire, possibly as strong as yours. You began to see stars as he brought one of his hands around to the front, running a finger against your swollen clit. You could feel heat radiating off him as his chest pressed against your back, tightly fucking into you and keeping the perfect pressure on the sensitive bud. You leaned your head back against his shoulder, groaning his name. 
"Yes baby, take it just like that and say my name. Fuck, you feel so good."
"Jesus, Bender. You feel even better. I'm close."
"Ohh yeah, baby. Cum on me. Cum while my dick is buried deep in that tight little pussy. Make me cum for you." He grunted out between thrusts, making your head spin and your body lose control. With a final loud moan, your walls clenched around him in your release. 
"Fuck, fuck, John! S'good. Please cum for me, baby. I want you to feel good, too." You muttered, feeling nonsensical in your words, but he still responded.
"Don't worry, sweets. You're making me feel amazing. Won't be much longer, with a pussy this tight and good. I'm almost there. Hold on, hold---" he couldn't finish his thought as he reached his climax as well, digging his fingers into your hips with a bruising force, snapping his own hips up to chase the sensation of his high and you cried out at the sudden burst of friction, taking him deeper in than before. He stilled for a moment, catching his breath and coming back down to reality, surprised to still find you there and to know this wasn't just another wet dream, his subconscious reminding him of what he couldn't have.
He kissed the side of your neck before pulling out of you all too quickly, the fullness replaced by emptiness. You immediately pouted, glad you were turned away from him so he couldn't see the effect he had on you. He was zipping up as you stopped to pull your own pants back up your legs. 
"That was…amazing. Jesus Christ, Y/N, you've been holding out on me," he teased and you pushed him gently. "Ho hum, what to do with all these hours left?" He asked with a smirk.
"I could think of one or two things," you raised an eyebrow at him.
"Well, I do need some time to recuperate," he said, pulling a baggie of weed from his front pocket, "you down with just this for now?" He offered.
"Whatever you want, sweets." You purred at him, kissing him on the cheek.

Surv sounds like Fred from Scooby Doo in my mind
Surv is just himbo-coded ig. I can imagine him specifically getting the group caught in a net somehow
I hear him as a bit deeper than Fred but overall Fred's a good fit!

Maybe you'd just like a break from Santa Claus, Ebenezer Scrooge, George Bailey, and the other usual suspects. Maybe you're just not feeling the Christmas spirit this year. Maybe you feel like you're going to scream if you see one more Hallmark Channel or Lifetime Christmas movie. Whatever the case, this blog has your back, with some off-the-sleigh-path movies that you can safely categorize as Christmas movies under the Die Hard rule.
• The Thin Man
Nick and Nora Charles drink as much as your uncle at the family Christmas party. But, while your uncle repeats everything he's read on Facebook or heard on Fixed Noise or Overthrow America Now, Nick and Nora say things that are witty and clever. And, every now and then, they get the whim to solve crimes. Here, they're visiting New York for the holidays when an old friend asks them to find her missing relative, the titular thin man.
• The Miracle of Morgan's Creek
This is the story of Norval Jones and Trudy Kockenlocker (let's take a moment to savor that name, shall we?). Norval has had a thing for Trudy as far back as anyone can remember. However, Trudy hasn't noticed: she's got a thing for men in uniform, and Norval is 4-F due to panic attacks. One spring night, Trudy uses a date with Norval as a smokescreen so she can go to a party for members of the armed forces who are heading off to fight in World War II. She returns with a splitting headache, hazy memories of the night before, and a cheap wedding ring on her finger. The wedding may not have been legal, but the consummation was 100% real, as she has a baby on the way. The movie follows their efforts to fix things so that she and her child won't be smeared for life.
• The Lemon Drop Kid
Bob Hope stars as Sydney Melbourne, although so many people call him the Lemon Drop Kid that he doesn't even recognize the other name. He makes a living as a racetrack tout, conning gullible bettors. That leads to trouble when he makes a mark of the arm candy of a crime boss. Now, he's got until Christmas to pay $10,000, or the matter will be handed over to Sam the Surgeon, who brags about how many of his patients don't make it off the operating table.
• Black Christmas
If not the first slasher movie, the one that helped pave the way. A mysterious killer holes up in the attic of a sorority house, killing the residents one by one. The original stars Olivia Hussey and John Saxon; it was followed by two movies using the same title, but both should be avoided.
• Mitchell
Dirty Harry led to a lot of knockoffs, and they don't come any dirtier than Mitchell; he's a police detective who always looks like he's either starting or coming off of a bender. He upholds the law, just as long as it suits his purposes; he shoots people just to find out who they are, and isn't above accepting a bribe in the form of a $1000 a night sex worker.
• Trading Places
A Wall Street up-and-comer and a street-level con artist find themselves at the center of a low-stakes wager between the heads of an established firm. Takes place at Christmas.
• Night of the Comet
In this movie, the Christmas season coincides with the Earth passing through the tail of a comet that hasn't come this close since the dinosaurs died out. As it turns out, that last part isn't a coincidence: Everyone who was fully exposed to the comet turns to red dust; everyone who was fully shielded by steel survives; and everyone who wasn't fully shielded turns into a zombie.
• Trancers
A villain in a postapocalyptic future uses time travel to attempt to kill off the government leaders before they're born, so Jack Deth must go back and live in his ancestor's body to stop him. Includes a shootout involving a zombie Santa.
• Brazil
Terry Gilliam's dystopian masterpiece.
• The Ref
Denis Leary is a cat burglar pulling off one last job before he retires. When things go wrong, he hides out in a nearby house until the heat dies down. Unfortunately for him, the house is home to a bickering couple, and he must pretend to be a marriage counselor when their family comes for Christmas dinner.
• Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Robert Downey, Jr., plays a burglar who gets mistaken for an actor. Cast in a mystery movie, he ruffles the feathers of a gay private eye (Val Kilmer), but the two must team up when Downey is framed for murder. This is the movie that convinced a lot of people that Downey would make a good Tony Stark.
• Krampus
A family finds itself dealing with the evil opposite of Santa Claus when their Christmas spirit is lacking. Tread carefully looking for this: Krampus is a figure of folklore, so anyone with film and a script can make a movie and call it Krampus. You want the 2015 feature film from the guy who made Trick 'r Treat.

Tumblr media
Rumours spread over the minds of high school students like mist from an ocean on a windy day. Almost every single day there was a new rumour about somebody, majority of the time it was about the popular students talking about the other popular students, and other times it was the popular students talking about the not-so-popular students.
Whatever they said goes, because in the high school world, they were the award-winning celebrities you see on television that, most times, often get their words manipulated by the press. The press in this setting was the other students that progressed the flow of the words spoken about others.
The only way that you really associated yourself with other people than your friends was with others in your class if you needed to borrow a pencil, a teacher for asking questions, and then another - John Bender, your source of weed supply, and surprisingly a friend that leant a shoulder to lean on when you needed it, only if you allowed him to ramble to you afterwards.
Of course you did, and over time beginning at your sophomore year, you and John were on a first-name basis as well as the regular subject of gossip at the mouths of your peers.
At first it started off with the usual whenever someone was seen with John, the usual of: “Oh my god, he’s selling weed again!”
Then it slowly progressed into more romantically infused suggestions such as: “They’re totally dating! Don’t you see his arm around her waist?”
John, of course, was slightly prideful about the attention and took it as almost like a competition to get as many people talking about the two of you as possible. Often times, after school the two of you would sit on the bleachers by the football field and just talk about anything and everything.
This was one of those days, and by the time it was nearing 8pm, with the sun’s golden hue illuminating the both of your faces, and making the smoke from John’s cigarette mimic the look of perfectly painted clouds in a renaissance painting, he brought up the topic.
“Have you heard about what they’re saying?” He asked, flicking the ashes of his cigarette on the makeshift smoke tray made out of the bottom of a broken beer bottle that sat in the middle of you two.
“About us?” You asked back, looking at him, but his gaze was fixated on the slightly burning ash in the tray. Then just a few seconds after your question, he gave a small, quick nod before bringing the cigarette back up to his lips.
“Not since last weeks topic of conversation. Why, what are they saying now?” You were genuinely curious, and slightly worried since John’s body language signified that it must’ve been one of the worser ones he’s heard.
“You sure you wanna hear? It’s pretty shitty.” John said, blowing smoke from the corner of his mouth, then crushing the end of the cigarette in the tray.
“Well, it involves me so yeah, I’d like to hear it.”
John got up from where he was sitting before outstretching his hand towards you, which you took and the both of you stepped down the bleachers and made your way to the grass of the field.
“They’re saying that I got you pregnant.”
You sucked your teeth for a second before shrugging it off, “It’s not the worst thing in the world, it doesn’t bother me that much.”
John looked at you like you had just stabbed someone, eyes wide with his eyebrows furrowed before stopping any movement from him. “What?”
You paused your movements along with him, your hands still holding onto each other. “What?”
“It doesn’t bother you?”
“Not at all. There could be way more shitty things people could say.”
“Yes, but they’re saying that I got you pregnant. If someone, like, your parents, for example, found out about this rumour do you think they would take it very lightly? That someone like me did this to you?”
You looked away for a second, slowly bringing your face back to face him. “But it’s not true.”
“But if it was.”
“But it isn’t, and if it was, I wouldn’t mind.”
John’s face relaxed and he had a small smirk on his face. “You wouldn’t?”
“Right.”
At this point, the two of you began walking again, towards the front of the school, and John still had his little smirk on his face. You looked at him and noticed before smiling back at him.
“What are ya smiling about?” He asked, looking at you after he saw your smile from the corner of his right eye.
“Could ask you the same thing.”
“I asked first.” He then stopped holding your hand, bringing that same hand of his over your shoulders, bringing you in close in a slight side hug.
“Just because you’re smiling.” You said, bringing your right hand up to your right shoulder to place it over his hand. Your left arm being placed around his waist.
“Don’t get all sappy and stuff on me, now.”

Books I’ve Read in 2020
AHello! I’m trying to read as many books as I can during the quarantine, here’s what I’ve finished so far:
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (literary fiction): a son writes a letter about his life to his illiterate mother. Breathtakingly beautiful with it’s way with words this book is lovely and real in the hardest and sweetest ways. The author’s combination of prose and poetry is dazzling and intricate, this book has stuck with me for days afterward. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik (fantasy): a money-lender gets in trouble after bragging she can turn silver into gold and is kidnapped and ordered to do so by a fey creature. It may be that I am the perfect audience for this type of book, but it’s my favorite thing I’ve read all year. It’s a book that equally takes on the fantastical and real-world with compelling female characters at the center of the whole thing. A wonderful fantasy journey inspired by eastern-European Jewish folklore. 5 out of 5 stars.
Through the Woods by Emily Carroll (horror graphic novel): a series of short horror comics. Absolutely bone-chilling! This was a really fun type of scary story, especially the last one which made my skin absolutely crawl. Deliciously eerie, this was treat to read if not a little too short. 4 out of 5 stars.
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender (magical realism): a young girl can taste other people’s emotions in their cooking and begins to understand her family in new ways. This was a weird book, but it has everything you’ve got to love about that combination of the surreal and mundane. It’s sense of character was electrifying and I had fun engaging with this type of off-kilter real world. I was a little frustrated in parts bc of some characters choices, but that too was true to life. 4 out of 5 stars.
Crier’s War by Nina Varela (steampunk fantasy wlw): about a Made automaton heir to a throne and her human hand-maiden that is trying to kill her. This was an easy read with a lot of tension between the two main characters that I liked, but the writing itself was very weak. There was waaay too much exposition in parts and the dialogue had some really hockey lines. I enjoyed the twists and turns in the middle of the book, but the beginning and end didn’t have much movement. 2.5 stars out of 5.
The Huntress by Kate Quinn (historical fiction): honestly, I’m a little disappointed. This book just did not hit my sweet spots, it wasn’t fast-paced enough for me to get immersed in the plot, and the characters weren’t real enough to be wholly invested in them. That said I adored Nina Markova and the Night Witches, so that did help. 3 starts out of 5.
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White (horror sci-fi retelling): HAND IN UNLOVABLE HAND. A retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein from the perspective of Victor Frankenstein’s wife and my God! The characters! The plot was well-enough, but the characters took the whole show for being complex and compelling. The main character was breathtakingly layered and I was wholly invested in Elizabeth and her story and the triumph at the end of this story was tangible. 4 out of 5 stars! 
Uprooted by Naomi Novik (fantasy): A story of a young woman who lives in a valley where a girl must go live with a wizard for 10 years. She is certain she won’t be chosen, but ends up having to be “uprooted” herself. I enjoyed most of this book! However, I think I liked “Spinning Silver” a lot more just because the ending of this one somehow lost me. The characters were good and plot compelling, but (SPOILERS) the big battle at the end seemed to drag and didn’t interest me somehow. 3.8 out of 5 stars.
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (fantasy): excellent read! A story of a young woman in Jazz Age Mexico who goes on an adventure with a Mayan death God who is trying to regain his throne. A romp across the country absolutely brimming with likable characters and fairy tale twists. My only complaint would be that most of it felt a little predictable due to the fact we knew where we were going throughout the whole story, However, it was still greatly enjoyable for the heroine herself, Casiopea. 4 out of 5 stars!
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (literary): a story of two families in a progressive “planned” community, how their lives intertwine, their secrets, and a central question surrounding motherhood. Deeply empathetic to its characters and introspective, this is an every-day story of people in suburbia that reads like a thriller. I could barely put it down and felt deeply for its characters and situations, 5 out of 5 stars!
Wilder Girls by Rory Power (YA sci-fi suspense): a story of a group of girls at a boarding school on an island affected by the “tox” which alters their bodies in strange ways like giving them scales or an extra spine. This was an eerie, interesting read with a wlw romance! Watch out for the body horror in this one, but it was very gripping and held my interest. Some of the pacing was off in places (like the romance), but had a very creepy atmosphere that did it for me. 3.8 out of 5 stars!
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio (thriller-mystery): A thriller about a group of Shakespeare actors in their last year of college and one of their classmates who turns up dead. I enjoyed the murder mystery part of this novel more than I expected despite the fact I had guessed who had “done it” pretty early on. I really enjoyed the James-Oliver dynamic with its growing homoeroticism, but I didn’t like how the character of Meredith was handled at all. She felt like a one-note aside. I might have given this book four stars, but the ending was EXTREMELY frustrating for me and I did not like the “open-ended” conclusion. 3 out of 5 stars.
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (literary humor): a weird character-driven comedy about an old grumpy man and a new family that moves in next to him. Warning for themes of suicide. Anyway, I don’t normally indulge in cliches like “I laughed, I cried, I loved one Cat Annoyance.” However, that’s exactly what I did. I laughed out loud, I cried my eyes out (THE CAT’S HEAD WAS IN HIS PALM), I loved this book. It was sweet and compelling and thoroughly immersive. 5 out of 5 stars!
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow (historical fantasy): set in the early 1900s comes a story of a young girl and her experience with “Doors” that lead to different worlds. This book had a lot of great character development and really interesting descriptions, however, I didn’t like it as much as I wanted to. I found it hard to get myself to sit down a read it. There was just something missing with the push to “page-turn,” but it was still a really good book. 3.7 out of 5 stars!
Gideon the 9th by Tamsyn Muir (high fantasy, kinda gay): I AM FILLED WITH EMOTIONS. This was book was definitely a page-turner. I was very confused with it at the beginning, but the characters and their interactions were, forgive the expression, the life blood of the story and kept me wholly invested. The ending has CRUSHED my heart, but damn did I have a good time reading it. 4.5 out of 5 stars!
Harrow the 9th by Tamsyn Muir (sequel to Gideon the 9th): I really enjoyed this book. It was just as strange and twisting as the first book, though I think I enjoyed the first one a bit more since I love Gideon. It was fun ride overall, though the ending was kind of really confusing. So 4 out of 5 stars.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (historical fiction): Overall, I really enjoyed this book! The writing style was personable and grounded in reality. I found myself really liking the main characters and the exploration of the life of a bi main character was really well done I thought. A solid book with drama and glamor to boot. 4.6 out of 5 stars!
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (historical fiction): A story of two sisters during WWII and their resistance to Nazi occupation. To be honest, this book wasn’t my cup of tea. It was compelling, but also wholly depressing and I felt like gloried in the pain of the two main characters too much. The history was wonderful and realistic, but it didn’t make me feel anything good afterward. It was just dark. 3 out of 5 stars.
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (mlm romance): I finally finished this after the heaviness of The Nightingale. This is a story of the First Son of the USA falling for the prince of England. And it turned out to be a very fun and light hearted read! Some of it was kinda generic and too political, and it coulda been shorter, but I thought the romance itself made up for it. It just made me feel so sweet and lovely inside. 4 out of 5 stars!
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman (literary humor): I’m searching out heartfelt books and this one ticked off all the marks on my “sweet” list. A lovely book that made me cry more times than I would like to admit. Compassionate beyond belief, funny and heartfelt. I think I enjoyed A Man Called Ove slightly more, but this book was also dear to me and something I hope to reread in the future. 4.2 out of 5 stars!
Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel (sci-fi): A post-apocalyptical story about a group of traveling Shakespeare actors and a symphony. Overall, an excellent read that somehow pictures a more realistic or even softer version of the apocalypse. At first, I wasn't happy with the jumping around of the story, but as I progressed I grew fonder and fonder of the interwoven characters and their journey. A very fascinating read about a world that hits a little too close to home. The appreciation of the arts and preserving humanity was somehow very hopeful and I was fully engaged with this story. 5 out of 5 Stars!
Up next: The Hidden Life of Trees by by Peter Wohlleben (nonfiction science), The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin (urban fantasy), The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (fantasy)

Conversations You’d Have While Dating John Bender
Tumblr media

(Y/N): “It’s cute that you think death can get you out of this relationship.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): “Jesus it’s cold!”
Bender: “Here, take my jacket, I’m not even that cold.”
(Y/N): “Thanks, I’ll give it back tomorrow at school.”

Bender: “I want them.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: “(Y/N), what the hell are you doing?”
(Y/N), feeling Bender’s hair while mumbling: “What the fuck this is so soft and smooth…?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: “You have a sweet lookin’ ass.”
(Y/N): “What was that?”
Bender: “You have very nice eyes.”
(Y/N): “I liked the first one better.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teacher: “Okay, here’s the classwork.”
Bender: “Please help me.”
(Y/N), sighing: “You’re lucky you have me.”

(Y/N): “You just spelled it wrong.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: “Hey, (Y/N), can you do the thing?”
(Y/N): “What thing?” Bender: “The thing that never fails to make me happy.”

Bender: “Thanks… I think?”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: “Is your name Jingle Bells?”
(Y/N): “ No no no no, please don’t, Bender, have mercy-”

(Y/N): “Shut up, Bender, it’s the day after Thanksgiving!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): “Do you know what time it is?” Bender: “Do I look like a weatherman to you?”
(Y/N):
(Y/N):
(Y/N): (Y/N): “What?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian: “Why do you guys wake up so late? What time do you even go to sleep?”
(Y/N): “I always fall asleep first because Bender always strokes my hair and I snuggle into him until I finally do.”
Bender: “I always disassociate and have an existential crisis, so I never actually know.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Claire: *sees Bender and (Y/N) walk into the room holding hands* “So who finally confessed?”
Bender, with a proud smirk: “It was me. I made sure it was real short and sweet.”
(Y/N): “You yelled ‘Listen here you little shit, I have feelings for you and it’s about time you acknowledge them!’ at me from on top of the school roof.”
Bender: “It worked though.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): “Are you...blushing?”
Bender: “What, no.”
(Y/N): “Did I get the ever-stoic, hardcore, total badass Bender to blush?”
Bender: “No..It’s..It’s the cold.”
(Y/N): “Huh. It’s the cold. And not that I told you ‘Your face is freaking cute and I bet the rest of you is too’?”
Bender, blushing harder: *voice cracks* “N-no.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): *Drops something* “Oh, fuck me.”
Bender: *smirks*
(Y/N): “That wasn’t an invitation.”

Bender: “What are you doing?”
(Y/N): *Wiggling into Bender’s arms* “Hiding.”
Bender: “....Don’t you mean hugging?”
(Y/N): *Pauses* “Did I fucking stutter? This is my safe place. Now shut up and put your arms around me.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: “I have to get something off my chest.”
(Y/N): “Is it your shirt? I hope it’s your shirt. Please let it be your shirt.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): “I get this weird feeling in my chest every time I see you.”
Bender: “.....Is is heartburn?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: “You know, I’m jealous of you?”
(Y/N): “Huh? Why?”
Bender: “Your partner is way hotter than mine.” *walks away*
(Y/N): “Wait- but you’re my- we’re dating...Come back here you little shit!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Bender and (Y/N) kiss*
Allison: “Aww..”
Bender: “Allison i have had it up to here with your bullshit!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): *Smiles*
Bender: “There it is again.”
(Y/N): “What?” Bender: “You better not smile for anyone else like that. If you do I might have to kill them.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "What's your biggest fear?"
Bender: "You."
(Y/N): "Me?!"
Bender: "I'm scared that one day you'll look in the mirror and see yourself as I see you. That you'll realize just how amazing you are, and that you deserve better than me. I'm terrified that you'll leave."
(Y/N), on the verge of tears: "Oh, god, Bender please don't say that. You are the most amazing person I've ever met, I could never leave you. Ever. God, I love you so much more than it's possible to say, you know that? I hate seeing you feel like you aren't enough because you are, Bender, you always have been. You always will be. I love you."
Bender: "Aw, come on, Baby, please don't cry, I love you too."
——————————————————————————————————
(Y/N): *Complains about Bender*
Bender: "I could be a drug addict. Do you realize how lucky you are?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: "Where's your liquor?"

Bender: "Why, does it move around throughout the day?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew: "You deserve an award for putting up with me."
Allison: "You're my award, Andy."
Bender: "You deserve an award for putting up with me, (Y/N)."
(Y/N): "Hell yeah I do. You're a real bitch sometimes."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*On the topic of how to sneak out of detention*
Bender: "I have a plan."
(Y/N): "No weapons."
Bender: "I have no plan."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "You know what I did yesterday?"
Bender: "Got prettier?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "Damn. We're out of decaf."
Bender: "Well there's no need to get hysterical."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "So Bender, what do you want to do tonight?"
Bender:  "You, probably."
(Y/N): "You know you said that out loud, right?"
Bender: "Yup, no regret."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "Has anyone seen Bender?"
Claire: "It's 10 A.M., I would be worried if he was here."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: "Hi pretty (Y/N). Oh, you're so pretty. But not just your face, your brain. It's like your beautiful brain exploded all over your face."
(Y/N): "Are you drunk?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: "I assure you I am the most attractive person in this room."
(Y/N): *Walks into the room*
Bender: "Never mind."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "Putting a lemon in your water isn't gonna balance out the fact that you chugged seven beers in under thirty minutes last night, Bender."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "Bender... why do I love you?"
Bender: "Because you're the only one who can tolerate my bullshit and vice versa."
(Y/N): ".............I was gonna say your eyes, but that works too."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: *About (Y/N)* "My partner is like an oven."
Brian: "Explain."
Bender: "Roasts me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "Next time I wanna hurt someone, I'm coming straight to you for help."
Bender: "Aw, that's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: :I'm just sitting here with my empty pizza box, my Coke, and my Baby. *Leans over and kisses (Y/N)'s cheek* I may be out of pizza, but I'm never out of love for them."

Bender: "Hey, it's Bender."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Talking about a teacher*
Andrew: "Yeah she's a bitch."
Bender: "Speaking of bitches..." *looks at (Y/N)*
(Y/N), without looking up from their book: " Choose your next words carefully."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "You shouldn't smoke. It isn't good for you."
Bender: "Fuck off."
(Y/N): "I love you too."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*When Bender first tells the group about (Y/N) and him dating*
Andrew: "How hot are they?"
Bender: "It doesn't matter what they look like. I mean, they're already the most beautiful person in the world to me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allison: "Are they flirting?"
Claire: "I think so."
(Y/N): "We are not flirting, we are arguing."
Bender: "We're flirting."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: "Have I ever told you you look like a sexy praying mantis?"
(Y/N): "Every time you drink alcohol."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: "You know, (Y/N), I've been drinking- I mean thinking-!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "It's quiet....too quiet..."
Andrew, bursting into the room: "Bender let a snake loose in the library!"
(Y/N), sighing: "I knew it."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian, on the phone: "(Y/N), what are you doing?"
(Y/N): "Homework."
Bender, taking the phone from (Y/N): "I'm homework."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "You think you're a better kisser than me?"
Bender: *Raises eyebrows*
(Y/N): "You think you're a better cuddler?"
Bender: *Raises eyebrows further*
(Y/N): "Well come over here and prove it, punk."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "Claire, tell Bender that he's an idiot but I still love him."
Claire: "Gross, tell him yourself."
(Y/N): "We're in a fight."
Claire: "You're sitting in his lap?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bender: *Lights a match with his teeth*
(Y/N): "You have no idea how hot that is."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): "Bender, you..."
Bender: "I?"
(Y/N): "Um...y-you..."
Bender: "I what?"
(Y/N): "You make my heart have premature ventricular contractions."
Bender: "Huh?"
Brian, from across the room: "They mean you make their heart skip a beat."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*In a fight*
(Y/N): *Flips Bender off*
Bender, smirking: "Maybe later, Honey." *winks*
(Y/N): *Rolls eyes*
Bender: "Hey! Don't roll your eyes when I allude to fucking you!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): *Kisses Bender*
Bender: "What was that for?"

Mr.Vernon: "Did you two really think you were gonna get away with this?"
Bender: "Well, it would be stupid to say yes now."
(Y/N): *Stares blankly at Vernon while nodding in agreement with Bender*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*(Y/N) is absent from school*
Allison: *About (Y/N)* "Do you miss them?"
Bender: "You can tell?"
Allison: "There are two things in this world you cannot hide. Sneezing and love."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew: "I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter S."
Claire, looking over at Bender and (Y/N): "Is it sexual tension?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N), to Bender: "Oh, you're touch starved? Wanna hold hands about it?"

November Wrap Up
The end of the semester is so close I can almost taste it! But in the meantime, at least Thanksgiving is out of the way. I don’t like Thanksgiving, and I’m not a big fan of November in general. But it was a pretty decent month overall. 
Books Read - Goal: 6  Total: 12
This was a great reading month (not that you’d know from the photo). I read double the amount of books I wanted to, and about half of them were for school. My overall favorite of the month was Wintergirls, which was a reread. My favorite of the ones I read for the first time was definitely Doll Bones, and my least favorite was Goblin King. Starred books are audiobooks and ones marked with a ® are rereads.
Paradise Lost by John Milton - 4 stars ®
The Walker: On Losing and Find Yourself in the Modern City by Matthew Beaumont - 4 stars
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson - 5 stars ®
Paradise Regained by John Milton - 3 stars
The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui - 5 stars
Goblin King by Kara Barbieri - 2 stars
Doll Bones by Holly Black - 5 stars *
They Called Us Enemy by George Takei, Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott, and Harmony Becker - 5 stars
Is This How You See Me? by Jaime Hernández - 2 stars
Samson Agonistes by John Milton - 3 stars
Deer Woman: A Vignette by Elizabeth LaPensée and Jonathan R. Thunder - 5 stars
A Wolf for a Spell by Karah Sutton - 4 stars     
On Tumblr:
Not a whole lot here. But there are some beautiful pictures of the huskies my family used to own, so if you enjoy looking at dogs (which I obviously do) you should take a peek.

Yuletide 2019 recs!
Some Yuletide favorites, before reveals tomorrow.
Agatha Christie’s Poirot
The Mice Will Play (Hercule Poirot & Felicity Lemon, 1k) “When Poirot returns unexpectedly from a case, he finds out something new about Miss Lemon.”
American Vandal
★ Til Tomorrow’s Show (Sam Ecklund/Peter Maldonado, 3k) “It's senior year, Vandal's been canceled, and Sam and Peter are going ghost-hunting.”
The Breakfast Club
Favors (John Bender & Dick Vernon, 3k) Bender and Vernon have an unexpected moment of bonding post-movie. I’m not sure I totally buy Vernon as a human being, but this is convincing.
DC Comics
On the Job (Barbara Gordon & Alfred Pennyworth, 3k) “With the entire DC Superhero community on a handful of major missions, Gotham remains in the capable hands of an undercover Oracle, with only Alfred Pennyworth as backup. Will they be enough to deal with Gotham crime tonight?”
Derry Girls
A Bold Move (Sister Michael & Orla McCool, 2k) “Orla and Sister Michael crash through a societal norm that doesn't need to exist.”
fish out of water (James Maguire, 4k) “When he thinks of home, he thinks of England. He thinks of his mother and his mates and the life he’d left behind. Or rather: he does. And then he doesn’t. It’s not hard to pinpoint why.”
Die Hard
Your Answers, Please (Matt Farrell/John McClane, 13k) “Come on, kid,” McClane said gruffly. “This place is fucking depressing. You’re coming to stay with me.” // A classic premise, of which I will never tire.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
★  i am invincible / as long as i’m alive (Sloane Peterson & Cameron Frye, Ferris/Sloane/Cameron, 3k) “It’s their ten year high school reunion, and Ferris isn’t there.”
nobody else (is as easy to find) (Sloane Peterson & Cameron Frye, 2k) “Sloan runs into Cameron on a shared flight back to Chicago. It's still the easiest thing ever.”
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
★  A Further Addendum to the Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (Claudia Kincaid & Jamie Kincaid, 11k) “On the Monday before the Thanksgiving school break, Jamie Kincaid received a package in the mail.” // Jamie and Claudia get to have another adventure together! I love their sibling relationship here; you cannot run away to the Met Museum together without bonding.
The Good Place
★ Hitting the Sweet Spot: A Scarlett Pakistani Adventure (Simone Garnett/Tahani Al-Jamil, 2k) "Tahani, cancel your plans. We're gonna split a bottle of wine and read Brent's terrible novel out loud."
Precedent (Chidi Anagonye/Eleanor Shellstrop, 2k) “What do you do when God kisses you?”
A Warm, Sexy Trumpet Mute (Jason Mendoza/Janet, 1k) “After rescuing Janet from the Bad Place, Jason wants to do something nice for his not-a-girlfriend.”
we’re all in this escape room together (Chidi Anagonye/Eleanor Shellstrop, 2k) “This isn’t a thought experiment.” The Judge looks at Eleanor. “If we do this — if we reform the afterlife like you want, and keep all the humans — ” (She makes a face at that.) “If we do this, you four have skin in the game. You’re going to live under this system just like everybody else.”
Home Alone
Attention Seeker (Kate McAllister & Kevin McAllister, 5k) “It's Christmas 2002 and Kate has to deal with her bickering adult children, her jerk of a brother in law and finding enough room for everyone to sleep. Also, can everyone please stop telling the story about when Kevin was left home alone? It's not funny.”
In Other Lands
Be Bold, But Not Too Bold (Luke Sunborn/Elliot Schafer, 8k) “A dragon appears in the Borderlands, and Elliot Schafer makes it his first order of business to get kidnapped by it.”
Jeeves & Wooster
All the Spinach You Can Eat (Reginald Jeeves/Bertie Wooster, 6k) “A man finds himself at the mercy of a valet who destroys his engagements, his wardrobe, and then his self esteem. Bertie thinks it's jolly good pornography but wonders what it's got to do with him.”
Lord Peter Wimsey
Author Portraits (Mervyn Bunter & Harriet Vane, 2k) “Harriet Vane encounters an unexpected acquaintance and suffers from an attack of 'satiable curiosity.” // A neat little casefic that nicely captures Bunter and Harriet’s dynamic.
Macdonald Hall
★ Antidisestablishmentarianism (Bruno Walton/Boots O’Neal, 13k) "Antidisestablishmentarianism." "Sorry, what?" "You're proposing the disestablishment of our relationship and I'm, like … anti that. I'm opposed to that. Very opposed. Emphatically opposed."
Dawning Political Careers (And Other Public Disasters) (Bruno Walton/Boots O’Neal, 11k) Bruno runs for school council on a very progressive platform. What a good ally.
The Mummy
as wine pervades water (Evy Carnahan/Rick O’Connell, 2k) “The last thing Rick expects to hear, when Evie opens the door at last, is a grim: ‘Darling, we’ve got to get married.’”
★ A Favor for a Friend (Jonathan Carnahan/Ardeth Bay, 4k) “Roped into doing a favour for a friend, Jonathan finds himself in charge of an antiques shop in Cairo. This is honestly the very last favour he's going to do for anyone. Ever.”
My So-Called Life
they say you were something in those formative years (Angela Chase, 2k) “Angela Chase, the last week of high school; the nature of sentimentality; old friends; a party.”
Pride
★ Like the Music That Extinguishes the Far-Off Night (ensemble gen, 11k) “Christmas 1985--a quieter party than some of Jonathan's and Gethin's, but one to remember nonetheless.”
Ready or Not
★ Try, Die Again (Daniel Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, 17k) “After the dust settles, Grace awakens to find herself exactly where she started, with a card in her hand, ready to play again. But this time will be different; for both their sakes, it will have to be. Time Loop AU.”
Set It Up
Says Something Like (Charlie/Harper, 1k) “Marriage is just for grown ups, right? Right. Or maybe not.”
Take Me Out with the Crowd (Charlie/Harper, 1k) “Charlie still wears suits to baseball games, and yet, Harper likes him anyway.” // These character root for the Yankees but I like them anway.
Slings & Arrows
★ And pay the debt I never promised (Geoffrey Tennant/various, 9k) “Geoffrey, legacy, and the Henriad.” // This is really wonderful, and so true to the show.
Geoffrey Tennant and the Cursed Play (Geoffrey Tennant/Darren Nichols, 1k) “Geoffrey has to direct a production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.He is, you can imagine, thrilled.” // Featuring David Tennant as Geoffrey’s cousin and Darren directing an all-cats version of Cats in Germany.
Some Like It Hot
cacio e pepe (Joe/Jerry/Osgood/Sugar, 5k) “It turns out that having the right name and piles of cold hard cash means you can buy almost anything. Happiness, however, isn’t for sale, but Daphne is lucky enough to know the recipe.”
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
talk of the town (Jefferson Davis & Miles Morales, 1k) "Dad, I swear, I didn't mean to cut Art Club every day this week, it's just—” "That you're the new Spiderman?" Jefferson says, and oh, damn, that was not the way he wanted to lead into this.
Sports Night
Call Me Naive, But (Dan Rydell/Casey McCall, 1k) “‘Call me naive, but I think I’d make a halfway decent governor of the fine state of New York,’ Dan said.” // This is so Dan.
A Little Respect (Dan Rydell/Casey McCall, 4k) “As far as slow burns went, this one was like an Olympic Torch that never went out.”
Temeraire
the becoming garb of a gentleman (Temeraire & William Laurence, 2k) “Temeraire commissions a set of clothing for Laurence. Post-canon.”
★ Ship’s Gossip (Tenzing Tharkay/William Laurence, 6k) “Laurence is beginning to enjoy life as a privateer - though he cannot figure out why Tharkay should still be sailing out with them - when Temeraire decides to ask him about sodomy.”

Get to know me (if you want) tag game
Tagged by @pureleafpoet (Tysm for tagging me; sorry it took so long for me to do this.)
Name/Alias: Chie or Rebo
Birthday: Jan 31
Zodiac: Aquarius
Height: Just right. :)
Hobbies: Writing, reading, coloring. I’m not very interesting, I’m afraid. I like crafting and playing instruments and also painting but don’t have too much energy for those/too noisy nowadays.
Favorite colors: Purple, Red, Black
Favorite Books: (graphic novels/manga not included in this list) All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren • In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O’Brien • The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender • Hamlet by William Shakespeare • The Good Earth Trilogy by Pearl S Buck • One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez • A Distant Mirror: the Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W Tuckman • John Adams by David McCullough
Last Song Listened to: “Masculinity” from La Cage aux Foles so I could tease my husband 😂
Last Movie: No fucking idea. I never watch movies anymore. I can tell you the last TV show I watched: Voltron, since it’s always on my dash; I got curious and was too depressed to watch other stuff.
Inspiration for muse: Anything? Art inspires me a lot, or photographs. Sometimes music or something from a show I’m watching or a book/manga I’m reading.
Dream job: I would have really liked to be an HIV Counselor for the Deaf, but since interpreting is something I’ve had to give up, it would be nice to be published by a major publisher/find a bigger audience without compromising on my writing niche.
Meaning behind my URL: In 100 Years of Solitude, there’s a plague of insomnia that strikes, making it impossible for people to sleep. It goes on long enough that people begin to dream while they’re awake. I always thought this was such a beautiful image, so I leased the domain years ago, and when I decided to set up a tumblr (also years ago), I thought it was a perfect match, bc it was originally meant to be a writing blog of sorts, for me to post my “waking dreams.” I used the hyphens bc it was too messy to read without them.
Tagging: (sorry if you were already tagged bc I was tagged ages ago and I can’t remember who already did this & you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to ofc)
@stardark-sky @luci-on-the-moon @hisgraceciel @shinigami-mistress @cielpansyhive @simply-perseph (and anyone else who’d like to)
