past life regression is your best vacation value
“Estate Sale Sign” works for Scott almost strictly because of the line “every martyr in this jungle is gonna get his wish”. I think this card would stand for holding onto a past that you really shouldn’t be holding onto and serve as a warning that by doing so, you could drive yourself to ruin. I deviated from drawing inspiration from the greater arcana of traditional tarot and instead modeled this off of “Four of Swords”.
All Eternals Deck by The Mountain Goats is an album based on a fictional tarot card deck by the same name. Additional information on the deck is found in the liner notes of the album. Seeing as there are thirteen songs on the album and thirteen people who have been on Empires SMP, I thought it would be a fun project to create tarot cards based on S1 and S2 characters. Designs of the cards are inspired by traditional tarot decks, specifically Tarot of a Moon Garden and images from The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite.

i like the owl house a good bit but i wish they'd take raine out of nonbinary gay baby jail
#please you have like one nonbinary character of significance#theyve spent a massive amount of their screentime either under mind control or pretending to be under mind control#and i want to get to know them better bc they seem very cool#i am tantalus and raine is the fruit i cannot reach and the water that dodges me when i wanna take a little sippy#im not mad at the showrunners or anything and i appreciate raine's presence#theyre clever and charming and A LOVE INTEREST (which i dont think ive ever seen???)#(between raine and masha the stance seems to be that nb people are desirable and cool and theyre so right for it)#and i think toh avoids the inhuman enby trope (in that there is human rep...ish... and most of the characters are inhuman)#idk they get a pass from me at least#but much like spop's double trouble theyre not really allowed to be themself for an unusually large amount of their screentime#though at least dt had like. constant 'teehee im so evil' one liners punctuating their girlmoding era#yeah dt falls into a lotta iffy nb tropes. i also don't blame the spop staff for that#i dont love making my point via comparison but these are literally the only two animated nb characters i can think of#bawling punching the earth about lake infinity train not being canonically nb but also being the most significant genderqueer rep for me#other than like. goromi. theyre tied <3#anyway my point with this post is not 'i think toh staff shouldve just tried harder or i hate them or whatever'#but more 'i am sad that our rep is still so limited even as they are pioneering and i wish raine had more screentime bc i like them'#and also 'if i had a nickel' about the limited agency/performative elements of the 2 nb characters ever#and also having your only trans characters playing the long con has like. implications a bit#but yeah#also im p sure spop had twitter confirmations of other characters being genderqueer but i dont tend to count postcanon much bc like.#it's not in there lol#anyway shows i think of as generally v progressive but that still don't escape nb tropes and limitations#you know what's better than one they/them'd character? two they/them'd characters#one day we're gonna get characters with multiple sets of pronouns and i can die happy#dt doesnt count for this bc the characters who know theyre not flutterina use they/them even when they're in flutterina mode.#twas a bit and nothing more#anyway belos is yucky disgusting and i hope raine gets exorcised soon

so theres a lot of posts going round about the titanic wreck and the missing submarines; all of them that ive seen have made very good points about how shoddy the submersible seemed to be and how the company decided to wait eight hours before reporting it, and how this is a play stupid games, win stupid prizes for the ultra-wealthy who paid like 250grand a ticket for this thing.
but what i havent seen any posts about is how the titanic wreck is a gravesite and this tourism is disturbing the graves of over 1500 people.
sometimes its kinda hard to remember that those on the titanic were real people; it was over a century ago, the story has been romanticised in so many ways (like the movie), theres conspiracies theories galore that cloud everything with misinformation, but at the end of the day, those who died were real people.
do you want their names? heres a list of them; its a long read. and for fun, heres another site where you can see photos of the children and babies who died aboard.
their bodies are long gone and their lives long forgotten. all we have to remember them and honour them is the wreck itself. its all we have of them and it is their gravesite. its their tombstone.
caitlin doughty/ask a morticians video on the great lakes discusses the topic well, and why we should leave these shipwrecks alone because again, they are the gravesites of all the souls who died aboard those ships. we rarely have bodies to recover so we really are left just with the wreck.
and what really upsets me about titanic tourism is how the majority of those who died that night were not the ultra-wealthy rich folks you might picture when you think of ocean liners.
61% of the first class passengers survived
42% of the second class passengers survived
24% of the third class passengers survived
24% of the crew survived **
the majority of those who died that night were regular folk; not to be cliche, but they were just like us. titanics wreck is not only a gravesite for over 1500 people, its also a majority working class gravesite.
and look at us now. look at what were doing. the ultra-wealthy can pay the equivalent of peanuts to them to disturb a mass gravesite of the exact kind of people they exploit today to hold onto all their wealth. 
its easy to point and laugh at these dumb idiots in their playstation controller submarine, seemingly held together with super glue and duct tape, but its also important to remember that what they were doing was simply disturbing a gravesite for fun. though the company does research, these guys werent down there to conduct research, they were there so they could brag about it to their friends. its like “climbing mount everest” while your sherpa does all the work.
if you cant tell, i have a lot of feelings about this. shipwrecks and ocean liners are one of my special interests and im currently building a (beginner’s) model of the titanic, for fucks sake. but i would never go down to see that wreck because its a fucking gravesite and we should not be disturbing their final resting place.

Something In The Orange — Luke Hughes
Tumblr media
Summary: In which while cleaning out his bedroom at the lake house, Luke convinces himself that your relationship isn’t over.
Content Warning; Angst with a happy ending, Luke kinda being a dick in flashbacks, mentions of a breakup, sad luke & reader, flashbacks in pink, Quinn & Jack plotting.
Pairing; Luke Hughes & Reader
Coming back to the lake house had been hard for Luke. Especially coming back without you by his side. You two had been together since freshman year of high school. The first summer that Quinn and Jack had the lake house was the first time you went with Luke. You two spent that summer in bliss, which led to you practically living there with them during the summers. Quinn had set ground rules that you were the only girl allowed to spend the night at the lake house.
But you and Luke had broken up in February, on Valentine’s Day as your luck would have it. You had been stressed with your clinical exam for your pharmacy tech program and had expected that night to be a time to relax. You and Luke had never done anything extreme for Valentine’s Day. You usually ordered take out and watched a cheesy romance movie. You entered your shared apartment and began to remove your shoes and socks and made your way to the bathroom and began to peel your scrubs off and tossed them on the floor.
You let the hot water rake over your body and wash the stress off of your shoulders. You stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around your body as you made your way into the bedroom. You dried off and pulled one of Luke’s UMich hoodies over your head, slipped into a pair of sweatpants and fuzzy socks before climbing into the bed and opening your laptop and turned on the most recent episode of Gilmore Girls as you reached on the beside table for your glasses. You had nearly fallen asleep when the living room door slammed.
You jolted upwards as your boyfriend entered the bedroom. He was dressed in a freshly pressed suit with his curls framing his face perfectly, “Hi baby, you look nice.” Luke scoffed as he undid his tie, “I looked nice an hour ago when our reservations were. Why are you home? You were supposed to meet me there, I left you a voicemail.” You frowned as you reached for your phone, checking it and finding no voicemails or texts from him, “I don’t have any message from you Luke, I didn’t know.” Luke scoffed, “Bullshit. You could have sent me a simple text saying you weren’t feeling dinner.”
You rolled your eyes, “I wouldn’t have said that, I didn’t get your message. Don’t turn me into some evil person because your upset!” Luke ran a hand through his hair, “I’m not doing this with you. I can’t, you’ve been somewhere else all year since school started. I can’t be with someone who doesn’t prioritize me.” You felt your throat tighten, “So what? Your breaking up with me because of a miscommunication? That’s what I get from you after 5 and a half years? Seriously Luke?” Luke shook his head, “I just can’t be another one of your things Y/N. I can’t.” You sniffled as you stood up and reached for a duffel bag in the closet and began cramming clothes into the bag along with your school stuff. You shook your head as you walked into the living room and put your shoes on. You walked out of the apartment without another word
Luke sighed as he entered his bedroom at the lake house. He hadn’t been back since the previous summer, so he knew your touch would be lingering over him. He was proven correct as he entered the room. On the dresser beside the door he was met with a small star shaped ceramic dish with a few rings and a necklace inside. A travel size bottle of perfume sat beside it and a soft pink lip liner nearby. As he furthered into the room he was met with more of your stuff. A swimsuit hung on the desk chair in his room. A Polaroid photo of you and Luke at some carnival the summer earlier was taped to the wall. Luke found a small box and began to put your items in the box.
You sighed as you discharged a needle into the biohazard box. You and your friend, Beth had volunteered to run the health clinic at UMich during the summer. You needed the cash and you had no summer plans since your breakup. The past 3 and a half months had been lonely for you. You found yourself wanting to call Luke nearly every day. Whether you were drunk at a bar and thought of something funny, or you had a good day at work and wanted to tell him, or you were rewatching Gilmore Girls and Luke and Lorelai had their first kiss and it made you think of him. But you held your pride.
You furrowed an eyebrow as your phone vibrated, you felt a sense of panic consume you when you saw the caller was Quinn. You excused yourself from the area you sat at and pressed the phone to your ear, “Quinn, what’s up?” Normally Quinn would have felt bad about lying to you, but he was tired of his baby brother moping around the house. He bit his lip, “It’s Luke, he’s hurt. Can you come?” You felt the blood rush from your face, “Yeah, I’m on my way. I’ll meet you at the house.” You turned to Beth, “I gotta go, bye. I’ll text you later.” You grabbed your bag and got in your card and drove to the lake house.
You slammed the car door and hurried inside, using your key to unlock the door. The house was eerily quiet, “Quinn? Jack?” Your heart was beating into your throat and ears when you saw him. Luke emerged from his bedroom shirtless rubbing his face in his hands, “Y/N? What are you doing here?” You felt like you couldn’t breathe, “Quinn called me. He said you were hurt.” You and Luke let out simultaneous sighs. Luke nodded, “I’m fine. You shouldn’t have come.” You shook your head in agreement, “Yep. I’ll let myself out. Oh here.” You peeled your key to the lake house off the key ring and handed it to him, “I don’t need it anymore.”
Luke hummed as he held up a finger, “I actually have something for you too.” He returned to his room for a brief second and returned carrying a box, “Figured you’d want this back.” You nodded as you blinked harshly keeping tears at bay, “Thanks Lu. I should get going, don’t wanna leave Beth at the health center alone for too long.” You walked out of the house and got into your car and made your way down the street.
You got to the end of the street when your phone rang with a call from Quinn. You sighed as you set it to speaker phone, “So any other lies I should be expecting dumbass?” Jack scoffed lowly, “Stop the car Y/N.” You looked into your rear view mirror, “You two are seriously following me now?” Quinn spoke, “Pull the car over now.” You pulled onto the side of the road and got out, “What could you boneheads want from me? If the plan was for him to stomp all over my heart then goal achieved.”
Quinn scoffed, “He isn’t over you Y/N, I swear I heard him talking to Ethan or Rutger about you last night.” Jack nodded, “Yeah then he made me and Z get trashed with him and he ended up crying about you.” You shook your head, “This isn’t fair to me. Not when I’m finally picking the pieces of my life up. Especially not after he insinuated that I chose everything over him. I can’t do that again.”
Jack shook his head, “He’s changed and he didn’t mean it. Just go back and talk to him. Tell him all that you just told us.” You shook your head as tears spilled down your cheeks, “What if he doesn’t want me?” Jack pulled you into a brotherly embrace, “Then he’s an idiot. But I know he isn’t. Go.” You wiped your face as you got back into your car and returned to the lake house. Quinn and Jack watched from the street as you stood on the porch.
You pounded on the door and felt a small breath of air as Luke opened the door. You felt your voice waver, “I am mad as hell at you. You are the most infuriating person I have ever met. I have never met someone so annoyingly perfect. You Luke Hughes, I have never ever loved someone as much as I love you. I don’t care about any of that stuff anymore. I just want to be with you.” Luke’s eyes softened, “You are the most infuriatingly stubborn person I’ve ever met. I’ve known from the first day I met you that you were the most special person in the world. I don’t want to be anywhere with anyone without you.”
You pulled him into a soft passionate kiss, your hands threading through his hair. A soft groan left Luke’s lips and hit yours. You pulled away as you breathed heavily. Luke looked down at you with lidded eyes fluttering, “I knew you’d come back to me.” You kissed him, “Shut up and kiss me. We have a lot of time to make up for.” Luke grinned as he pulled you in the door, “Thank god for my brothers.” You grinned, “Thank god for your brothers.”

no but the homoerotic subtext of the jacket scene. like, on paper it’s a third party cutting the rekindling tension between steve and nancy, eddie throws the jacket and a quippy one liner because wow guys we have the world to save keep it in your pants. but it’s the way eddie isn’t smiling, the way his toss knocks steve off balance, the way his joke-for your modesty-is hard and brittle between his teeth. like he’s upset, like he’s jealous. and he does it again, watches nancy and steve dance around each other in the trailer portal, rolls his eyes with an alright, i guess i��ll go. and on paper, maybe he’s just jealous of steve who’s always got wildly pretty girls hanging onto him even after peaking in high school while he’s still the freak being hunted for crimes he didn’t commit but.
but he doesn’t talk to nancy, doesn’t say much more than two words to her before or after the jacket scene. barely even looks at her. no, no he makes it a point to compliment steve about the bats, to reach out and touch steve at nancy’s house, to tease steve in the van. steve harrington, the douchebag ex-jock from high school he was sure was going nowhere. harrington who drives eddie’s dnd kids around, who’s best friends with robin buckley--a girl he knows doesn’t quite live up to what she puts on paper--and who jumps in the lake headfirst. steve, who despite all odds and his own personal wishes, is someone eddie likes. 
but. it doesn’t matter that steve is cool now, that he laughs at his dumb joke or that when eddie clutches his arm steve turns to him and reaches back. he knows his role in the story. eddie is the fool, the freak, the villain of the week. no matter what happens, it’s not going to end well.
on paper, eddie throws him is jacket to be funny, to get them moving. under that--the jacket gets thrown, the joke falls flat because he can’t believe he’s got a crush on a jock. because he both hopes seeing steve play dress up will burst that bubble and wants steve to want his jacket. because he’s jealous steve wants nancy and that nancy is the one who’s going to get to keep him. 
now a full fic here

can i have "you only belong to me, right?" with heizou, kazuha, diluc and xiao?? also congrats on your 400+ followers! 🎉🥳
event closed!
word count. 894
୨୧ — ꒰ cw. yandere, unhealthy relationships, possessive & obsessive thoughts/behaviors, g/n reader. i do not condone yanderes irl.
୨୧ — ꒰ a/n. finally working on my event shit xbuxbfbg im sorry
Tumblr media
heizou
"You only belong to me, right?"
Heizou’s heart, almost shamefully, stutters in his chest. It beats a thousand times before it finally calms. His eyes drink in the small, playful smile tugging at your lips with a ravenous thirst.
He shouldn't find your words this appealing. He shouldn't find his knees trembling, neither should he find himself unable to muster a response. It's unlike him; unlike Heizou, unlike the great detective; he should be playful, coy, and a bit mischievous. His response should leave you flustered, heat enveloping your cheeks— but instead, Heizou only finds himself speechless.
You probably said the words as a joke. It's the only reasonable deduction. Yet, they still make their mark on his mind, searing his flesh; he ingrains them into his memory, repeating them over and over like a lovesick fool.
Maybe, if he does it enough times, the novelty will wear off on him. He'll go back to his normal self, once more your teasing companion.
But it doesn't. It only makes it worse. His mind struggles to come up with a comeback, a one-liner to leave you unable to look him in the eyes. He comes up with nothing, only a weak, small smile; vulnerable and desperate, a sight only for your eyes.
"Of course," he says finally. The words feel unnatural on his tongue, a moment of weakness he's already regretting. "Only if you belong to me, too."
kazuha
Kazuha's smile is as bright as the matutinal sun.
A faint pink dusts his porcelain skin. With light filtering through his sooty eyelashes, casting shadows on his cheeks, he really does look like a doll. Small and delicate hands, calloused and wrapped with gauze, grab your own.
Kazuha directs one of your hands to his chest, keeping the other intertwined with his fingers. From the thin fabric covering his most important organ, you can feel his heartbeat, skittering like a stone skipping on a lake. He pushes your hand further until it's slipping past his clothing, warm palm touching the heat of his skin.
You can feel how fast blood pumps to his heart, how quickly it runs as if rushing with adrenaline. In all the ways that matter, it is.
Before you came, Kazuha was merely a wanderer. A stage with its curtains closed. His story had already ended long ago with the fall of his clan. You are like a bright star; you illuminate the way forward. With your every step, Kazuha basks in the light you pave.
"I am already yours," he says softly. There's a certain edge to his voice, an assuredness you don't seem to notice. "I always will be."
diluc
From underneath Diluc's hair, you think you can glimpse the red tips of his ears.
Diluc can't bear to look you in the eyes. It's almost painful. Shame pools at his stomach, eating through his gut. He shouldn't be flustered by you, at least not this easily.
He can't deny the euphoria coursing through his veins at this moment, however. Like the light flaps of a crystalfly's wings, his heart flutters in his chest. Diluc feels almost dazed with happiness. If only you weren't in the room— he can't stand the thought of you witnessing him in such a weak state.
What would you think of him, then? To know how easily he caves, how quickly he crumbles in on himself— only for you, and perhaps, you would like that. But would you like his dark, nasty thoughts; the ones he keeps buried deep within himself, who float to the murky surface of his mind whenever you breathe in his vicinity?
What would you think of him, then, if you knew how horrible of a person he really was? Undeserving of you in every way, barely able to keep himself collected in your presence.
"I've always been yours," he whispers under his breath, eyes soft and fond as he finally looks up at you.
xiao
Xiao's grip on his polearm falters, knuckles trembling with every passing wind.
His face softens for a brief moment before it returns to form; lips pulled tight into a frown, teeth clenched, and jaw tense. Xiao's eyes are sharp as they look over you, narrowing into a fine point when met with your expression.
There's a smile playing on your lips. The kind that makes Xiao weak, the kind that makes him unable to think of anything else other than you. His grip tightens, and then he tears his gaze away from you.
A deep red paints his cheeks, his usual pallor bursting with color.
Xiao tries not to get caught in the implication of your words. The idea of his feelings returned in kind. He wants nothing more than to ask you for clarification, but he's aware of his social ineptitude. He knows next to nothing of human customs, and has only barely come to understand your emotions.
He is already frighteningly lost when it comes to the surge of ecstasy in his veins whenever you brush against him, even more so concerning whether your words are genuine, or just a playful jest.
Still, his heart sings from where it perches in his chest, the fool that it is.
Xiao gulps before he can bring himself to say anything. "Yes," he says simply, when the weight of your eyes is too much for him to handle. "Always."

What alternative subcultures the Creepypastas would be in!!(pt 1)
Tumblr media
This was an ask I accidentally deleted! Oops! I also listen to all the music I put in here! So it’s also a small glimpse into what I listen to! Also as some of you know I’m in the scemo and goth subcultures! But I know a lot about alternative cultures period so this was fun to make!
LJ: VICTORIAN GOTH 100%!! / Victorian Circus Core
I mean he’s literally from that era
The feathered shaw, the black and white color scheme, the black lipstick and guy liner with the pale white face!!
Literally a goth king. That’s an outfit I would definitely see at a goth club!(I’ve been to many)
Another part of goth culture is liking horror/ monsters. Since LJ is a monster he’d fit right in!
He’d be accepted by most goths despite his looks bc goths have morbid dark fashion senses themselves!
So if they saw his swirly cone nose and sharp teeth they’d be like: omg! I love your look!
He’d definitely listen to classical music and other goth music Specifically Switchblade symphony and Cocteau Twins
He definitely listens to old PATD
I can see him wearing other Victorian inspired clothes too!
Like dis:
Tumblr media
Jeff: Metalhead/ with 90s emo(for nostalgia.)
I mean look at him
He’d definitely shit on nu metal and still listen to it
The long greasy black hair, not showering, thinking he’s better than everyone else yeah sounds like a metal head to me/ hj
He listens Cattle Decapitation, Peeling Flesh, Suicide Silence, Cannibal Corpse, Avatar and literally anything with machine gun drums
He listens to some 90s emo but will never admit
Definitely wears band shirts especially the ones he got from concerts when he was a teen
He loves a good mosh pit
You know, the ones where you come out all bloody?
Yeah he loves those
He can hurt people in them and it’ll be fine? Sign him up! (Man has no pit manners smh)
Definitely a metal elitist
“You like SOAD? Ugh that not REAL metal”
Stfu Jeff.
Yeah. Metalhead to his core.
Tumblr media
LJill (I love her, so underrated)
Victorian goth as well, but she leans more in the gothic Lolita side of it
Wears pretty gothic Lolita dresses with lots of black and white lace, buttons and she’ll have a matching bonnet and parasol to match when she’s feeling extra fancy!
She feels so elegant and feminine when she puts her multiple layers of petticoats on! She wouldn’t be caught dead without them!
Her makeup and lipstick is always perfect.
Her hair is always either perfectly curled or perfectly straightened
The goal is to look as doll like as possible ( also because she is one!)
She listens to music box like music if that makes sense?? For example Swan Lake by Fairy Lullaby or Porcelain Eyes
She, like LJ listens to classical music and goth music
But mainly classical and music box!
Will go to tea parties and knows how to make tea cakes and sandwiches
Just a lady all around!
Tumblr media
Jane: Trad Goth/ Casual Goth/ Amy Lee
Since Jane is always on the move and doesn’t really have time to get all dressed up
So she’ll usually be in a simple black dress or black pants and a turtleneck
But when she does get a chance to dress up
She dresses trad goth mixed with Amy Lee
She’ll have her hair long with bangs covering her forehead
Trad goth makeup, but a bit more modern,big eyeliner and arched brows
She’ll be wearing corsets and waist trainers
Long skirts, ripped leggings
High heel platforms
She goes all out and she looks great!
Listens to music like The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Years Day and The Birthday Massacre
Can do goth dances very well
God she’s beautiful
Tumblr media
Toby: Midwestern Emo/ early 2000s emo/ a tad grunge/ indie
He just looks like one tbh
But seriously he had a hard life and emo music gives him comfort
Toby wears flannel shirts, grandpa sweaters, simple tee shirts and pants that are loose but not too loose
Hiking boots, sneakers
He listens to Chidos, The Front Bottoms, State Champs, Real Friends, Nirvana, Yawning, Hail the Sun, The Used, A Lot Like Birds, Static Dress, Mild High Club and many many more
He can play the guitar, drums and sing pretty well
He needed something to keep him busy while he was homeschooled after all! And it took his mind off of the horrible things he was going through
Plus with him feeling no pain, he could practice his hands bleed so his hands are really calloused
He likes to sit in the woods and just listen to music sometimes
He’s a loner like that
Especially in the fall when the leaves are so pretty
He feels almost peaceful. Almost
Tumblr media
EJ: Tbh I can’t put him in a single box I feel like he’d be everything
He’ll listen to whatever whenever
Except religious music it freaks him out
Ya know because of the cult that took his eyes
But I see him liking dark ,dreamy music if that makes sense
His taste actually lines up with Toby’s pretty well
Static dress, MGMT, YKWIM by Yot Club, Homage by the Mild High club, My Bloody Valentine, Grouper
Also anything with sad guitars like wish by sign crushes motorist (Toby likes music like this too)
Sometimes even lo-fi if he has to unwind
Jack wears all black most of the time. Just so he doesn’t look too dirty
Black hoodie, black shirt, black pants, black shoes
He also feels like any other color won’t go with his now grey skin
But yeah EJ is just a dude with a wide music taste
We love that for him
Tumblr media
Nina: Obviously Scene+Emo= scemo
Do I even have to explain?
She listens to Pierce the Veil, Sleeping with Sirens, Bring Me the Horizon, Paramore, AFI, FOB, Get Scared, Hey Monday, MCR, Ghosttown, Millionaires, Brokencyde, Medic Driod, Dot Dot Curve, A Skylight Drive, ISMFOF ,everything Toby listens too as well(and many more)
Nina wears either all black with colorful hair or has her signature black and pink with more colorful outfits
Cheeta print, skulls, DIY stuff, band shirts, tube tops, tutus, skinny jeans, brass knuckle necklaces, hoop earrings, black eyeshadow, big teased hair with raccoon tails
Yeah she’s 2000s emo fs
Goes to raves and concerts like crazy
But she’s not opposed to any kind of music and will do goth makeup for fun
And wear Jane’s clothes
She thinks goth is really pretty but it’s just not her
She’ll stick with scemo lol
Tumblr media
Jason The Toymaker: Steampunk/ Victorian Circus Core
The copper in his clothes
The bright red hair
The long flowing jacket with intimate details
Yeah he’s definitely steam punk
Im not sure what kind of music steampunks listen to but I’d like to know!
Jason definitely listens to Emilie Autumn and old PATD
Tumblr media
BEN: EDM
I mean…it was obvious
Skillix, deadmouse, xxxanteria, Luci4, old Flying Lotus albums, 9lives
He’s literally code so I think he’d like it
Not much else to say here tbh
Tumblr media
I’m getting tired so lmk if you want a part 2 lol

Hiding
FBoy!Eddie Munson x Fem Reader
Uh oh, Eddie found your hiding place.
Warnings: Language
A/N: It’s been a while, I know. I went through a lot of ways these two would run back into each other and I liked it not being a huge thing. Just Eddie being pushy and you trying to keep a brave face.
Late summer morning blows in off the lake, a cool breeze that mingles with the bright sun climbing a cloudless sky. Another night spent at Rick’s helping Lisa and another week spent ignoring most of your life. The floating pier you’re dangling your feet off of bobs under you with the small wakes that hit the shore. The house that you desperately needed to get out of stands darkened behind you, even though you can still here Lisa giving Rick every level of hell.
He’s been a bastard, a motherfucker, a shitheel and a fucking bastard again in about 20 minutes after another little blonde was found creeping out of his basement. You’d actually been the one to see her while you put your small bag of groceries away and she had tried to pad out past you through the back door. Honestly you probably would have let her go with just a searing stare but as luck would have it, Lisa had been outback, smoking. So to say sleep had been light was an understatement while Rick was sent through the wringer and Lisa threw anything she could get her hands on.
At least you could catch a hint of fall on the back of the breeze where it rustled the leaves in the bright yellow ginkgo trees lining the walk down to the pier. You’d lit your cigarette and promptly forgotten it, tucked between your fingers that clutched the edge of the wet wood. There’s a few almost waves that slap against the platform under you when an early morning boater glides by, drowning out the crunch of steps behind you. The ripples in the water have your three hours of sleep beat and the hypnotic shimmer around your bare calves has you almost laying back to take a nap.
“So this is where you’ve been hiding.”
The last voice you’d expect at 7 am, the gravel in it betraying his own lack of sleep. You know you visibly tense but you’re not turning around to look at him, two months of avoided texts should have been a big enough signal for him. There’s maybe a quarter of your cigarette left that you end up sucking down, something to do while you continue to pretend he isn’t there.
“Gonna ignore me in person too?” Eddie steps onto the pier and it springs up.
“What are you doing here?”
“One of the guys called me, said Romeo and Juliette were at it again.” He takes a few more steps out and you still don’t turn around. “Asked me to come out and talk some sense into Rick.”
“You’re gonna have to pry Lisa off his neck.”
“Yeah, she’s taking a lap.”
That makes you turn to look back up at the house and you realize the shouting has stopped, Lisa’s Audi gone from the drive.
“Shit.” You stub out the ember on your smoke and finally drag your legs out of the water, snatching your slides when you stand up. Finally you lay eyes on him and he looks different. Old Slipknot shirt a size too big, jeans that he probably owned in high school by the amount of holes in them and terminally ill reeboks that saw better days a decade ago.
“What?”
You try to ignore him and walk away but he’s too quick for you on this thin strip of wooden slats.
“No, you don’t get away easy like that.” He grabs your arm to get you to stop and you chance falling into the water when you yank it out of his grip.
“Don’t put your fucking hands on me.”
“Why have you been ignoring me?”
“Because I don’t care.” The look you give him is dirty, your best practiced Mean Girl. You have no armor on this morning, no sharp liner or outfit that shows off your only assets. Even with your hair pulled up and grungy house clothes on you still slide into that persona like an old sweater. “Do you, Eddie?” You cock your head at him and point one of your long talons at him, one that desperately needed a fill. “You with your groupies and your two sets of friends. Why are you bothering me when you’ve got Dani and her Gucci purse? What happened to Kim?” You click your tongue at him and turn to keep walking away. “Go bother one of them.”
He doesn’t follow you until you’re well on your way up the embankment, far enough behind that he can’t hear you mumbling to yourself about him blowing up your phone. Inside is quiet except for the movement of Rick from his room. He’d sheepishly come out into the kitchen when he’d heard you come in, a hopeful look on his face that fell when he realized it wasn’t Lisa crawling back.
“Can I use your car.” You don’t ask, just stare at him until he scoffs and tells you no.
“You ran Lisa off, how am I getting home?”
“Uber for all I fucking care.” Rick runs a hand down his face, stubble scratching under his palm.
“You’re such a gentleman.”
“I never claimed to be one.” He grabs his keys off the counter and eyes you before heading back into his room and slamming the door.
Your shit is everywhere in the guest room and you sigh at yourself. Three days this time around and it looks like you’ve lived here for three years, shoes kicked under the bed and duffel bag left open and empty on the chest at the foot of the bed. There’s a short knock on the doorframe and you think maybe Rick is done being a dick but the scuffed white sneaker that comes into view tells you otherwise.
“Get out.”
“Do you need a ride?”
“Not from you, get the fuck out.” You keep picking up your work shirts and throwing them violently into your bag. Maybe he’d finally get the message.
“How’s your hand doing?” He apparently doesn’t and also avoids whatever fight you’re trying to start.
“It’s fine, get out.”
“Lisa told me you broke your fingers.” He moves into the room fully and stands at the foot of the bed looking too soft. His hair isn’t tied back this morning and it fluffs out around his head, obviously unwashed and freshly bed headed.
“Well she’s terrible at keeping secrets.” You have a handful of socks you try to drop but that hand with the still healing fingers cramps up at the most inopportune time and Eddie gets to watch you grimace and slowly unclench your fist. “Didn’t know you were keeping tabs on me.”
“Had to somehow since you still don’t know how to answer a text.”
“No I can text, I just don’t reply to you.” Still avoiding his gaze but you’ve run out of clothes to pick up so you stare at the hardwood floor and sigh. “Seriously just go. I got a ride.”
“You paid for an Uber.”
“Same thing! Why are you stalking me Munson, huh?!” You yell and round on him finally. It would seem Rick’s was the place to have it out this morning. Eddie remains unfazed when you get in his face, voice rising and fingers jabbing into his chest. “When I don’t answer ten calls and a hundred texts it means I don’t want anything to do with you! I want you gone!” You shoo him towards the door, a gesture he also ignores. “You treat me like I’m some random asshole and then expect me to drop everything because what, you’ve got feelings all of a sudden?” Your laugh cuts through the quiet in the room and you catch the flinch of his shoulders. “I don’t fuck around with nobodies who push! I had my fun and now we’re done!” Mean Girl says this to him, full force voice and a final shove with your finger to make your point clear.
Mean Girl means all of this and she’s great at being cover for you. She keeps everyone on knifes edge and keeps everyone in check and keeps everyone’s dirty little secrets. She gets to eye Eddie like a butchers case and take her pick of prime cuts. She cuts and she cuts and she stays quiet and she gets the privilege of front row seats to heartbreak and fistfights and you? You get to pretend you’re her all the time.
You’d like Eddie to stay and you’d like a ride from him. He could drive through somewhere and get you a coffee for the ride home. Maybe he’d even help you pack up your laundry and even help you start a load at your place. He could look around your apartment and glean some personality off of your things and maybe he could let you have a redo of two months ago. He could clean off your rings and your knuckles; he could get you patched up and comfortable and not get thrown out. You wouldn’t close up this time.
But this isn’t that, it isn’t anything. He’s a fling, was a fling, with a full roster already and you refuse to warm a bench for him.
“Fine.” He shrugs coolly and leaves the room in two steps, hands still tucked up into his underarms. “See you, Red.”
He doesn’t slam the door behind him this time.
It takes your driver forever to find the house, giving you enough time to finally get ahold of Lisa. She’s already basically forgotten what she was screaming about, especially since Rick turned her Amex back on an hour ago.
“So he just called to tell you that?”
“No, I called him to ask if he was going to say sorry and he said he turned it back on.”
“So it’s kind of like an apology, but not really.”
“Babe, you wouldn’t get it. We’ve never put a label on us…”
You stop listening to her try to reason her way out of it this time. Your phone buzzes and you pull it away from your ear to stare at the notification that your Uber finally arrived. You cut her off to tell you’re leaving and she blows kisses over the Bluetooth in her car. You grab your things and pound on Rick’s door before you leave and when you get onto the front porch there’s no car. A double check of your phone shows that yes they were here but the only cars in the drive are Rick’s Jeep and Eddie’s Challenger.
“Where’s my ride, Eddie?”
A jerk of his head before he opens his door and climbs in, car already idling, waiting on you.
“I’m not getting in your car.”
“I’m not gonna fuck you in it again.” He presses a button and you hear the passenger door unlock. “I’m taking you home.”
God you want to fight him and not just verbally. The ache of your fingers reminds you that you shouldn’t but the fire remains lit all the same.
“Why are you being like this?”
“Because I want to make sure you get home safe.”
He doesn’t yell or spit it at you. He says it sincerely and you feel very soft and stupid for a moment. The low car looks almost inviting in the morning light, Eddie in overly worn clothes and sleep still settled in the faint lines around his eyes. He nods again at the passenger seat and closes his door while he waits for you to decide.
It’s not long, not with your options what they are and you slide in with your bag silently.
Eddie was expecting a little more fight from you and seeing you still and silent and unarmed gives him a swooping feeling in the pit of his stomach. He punches in your address and starts the 30 minute drive and he wonders who’ll break the silence first.
“I’m sorry about last time.” You say quietly, eyes glued to the handles of your bag. He reaches out and takes it, drops it in the backseat in the hopes that you’ll look at him.
“I really was only trying to help.”
“I know.”
“It was nice, what you did for Dani-“
You snort and cross your arms over your chest, head shaking at nothing in particular. “Always about fucking Dani.”
“It was about Dani!” It’s amazing how fast the switch is, from soft words to the yelling between you two.
“What do you want from me?” The firmness behind your question gives Eddie a clue to not fuck around right now. He lets the first thing in his head out of his mouth and flinches at your look of scorn.
“I want to be friends.”
“Friends?”
“Is that so unbelievable?”
“Yes.” A matter of fact nod of your head. “One hundred percent. You have yet to show that you even enjoy being around me so this?” You circle an open palm at him, “This is why I’m confused why you’re playing knight suddenly.”
He’s not really sure either but it makes sense. That first night was harmless fun but then he’d stare at your contact info, racking his brains for something to text you for. A pickup or a party, anything that didn’t make him feel like a teenager again, too afraid to ask out the cool girl. But now those ideas are moot as you’re sitting in his car without any of your façade, willingly letting him take you home.
“I just…” He won’t say it because it wouldn’t be true. He doesn’t think it would be true.
You’ve become a thing he looks forward to during his nights playing dealer, a welcomed distraction that no longer felt like just a distraction. Eddie cares what you think about him, from his clothes to the girls to his fucking car, but he’s spent so long avoiding those thoughts it feels foreign in his head.
“Can we start over?”
“This conversation or-“
“I could use some more friends.”
That makes you chuckle, a puff of air blown through your nose. “I thought you said you had enough?”
“Well I miscounted.”
The tension bleeds away with the faint music, the new silence warm again in its place. There’s a smile playing at the corner of your lips and he’s suddenly determined to make it grow.
“Since we’re friends now…”
“Mm.” A fraction of growth while you play with your phone.
“I was thinking we could hang out sometime. Just us.” Stopped at the red light he looks over at you just as that smile drops before it could ever form.
“Eddie…”
“Christ, what? I can’t ask you to hang out?”
You give him a heavy look and he almost misses the light turning green.
“You’re still just trying to fuck.”
“Maybe I’m trying to ask you out!” His hand slaps the steering wheel out of frustration and he passes the car in front of him, speeding unnecessarily.
“You’re asking me out.”
“Not now!” He sounds like a whining child, even to his own ears. He can’t look back over at you, refuses to see whatever derision or disgust you’re gracing him with. He drives in silence and the ruined mood he created yet again while you sink further into your seat. He’s turning into your complex before he’s ready to let you out, a lot of dumb emotions still sitting like lead in his gut. His phone burns against his leg with all the unread messages from the morning and not for the first time does he wonder why he’s even trying to do this.
The door unlocks and his attention snaps over to you before you can open the door.
“I’m serious.” He blurts out and drops a hand on your knee that you immediately stare at. “About the date.”
You freeze under his touch, such a change in your normal response to him and he feels a twinge of trepidation. You stay wound up around yourself but there’s a softening of your shoulders and you don’t push his hand away so he takes it as a small victory.
“One stipulation.”
“What?”
“You need to delete their numbers.”
He doesn’t need to ask who’s. He stares past you at something outside, eyes unfocused while he chews on his lip. “I mean that’s-“
“If you want to take me on a date, a real date, then you’re going to treat me like I’m not a random hook up.”
The car idling is loud in the silence that follows and Eddie thinks it’s a little pathetic that he can’t find words, let alone lie to you right now. Normally his silver tongue gets him out of situations like this with nothing more than a whisper and a practiced grin.
“Of course baby, I’ll delete them.”
But he doesn’t know for sure if he will. You give him such a tired look and he doesn’t want to be the reason you look so defeated but he knows himself, the kind of shit he pulls.
“I uh, I don’t want to make a promise I might not keep.” Honesty wrapped around a shitty reality.
You huff softly and reach in the back to grab your duffle, carefully swinging it to rest on your lap before you exit his car.
“Seriously? A few numbers?” You ask and he can hear what you’re really trying to say, ‘Aren’t we a little old for this?’
“I don’t want to lie to you.”
“Doesn’t get you a date just because you don’t want to.” The door opens and the bright morning light spills into the tinted interior. You climb out of his car and lean back in for your keys and he has a distinct memory of playing pool with you. “I hope you grow up some day Eddie.”
You don’t slam the door like he expected, like the last time you were in his car. You don’t walk away with a switch in your step and you don’t look back at him with a cheeky wave. Eddie watches you climb the wooden steps slowly, tiredly, to the top landing and he watches you unlock your door and disappear from view.

genshin boys first kisses
you kiss them first vs they kiss you first!
Tumblr media
basically some headcanons on how things go if your first kiss was initiated by them, or by you! it’s my first time writing genshin but it was super fun and i definitely wanna write more 🤭
cw: fluff, kissing, gn! reader
characters: kaeya, diluc, thoma, itto
wc: 1.4k
Tumblr media
Kaeya Alberich
he kisses you
he probably takes you out casually, inviting you for drinks or something
after you finish having fun, he takes you to a quiet but pretty place, like the docks outside the back gate of Mondstadt
he’s real smooth about it, amping up his charm to try and make you as flustered as possible by dropping suave lines and compliments to see you squirm
he definitely lifts your chin to his face with his finger, smiling genuinely before leaning in real slow for the dramatic effect
his kiss is chaste but full of adoration, hand cupping the back of your head as he pulls you in deeper
After you pull away, he revels in your adorable flustered expression, soaking in every detail of your face as you smile bashfully
he lightly teases you for being embarrassed, but his heart is beating just as fast
you end the night sitting side-by-side on the dock looking at the stars in a comfortable silence while his thumb runs soothingly over your knuckles
you kiss him
he’ll be a bit taken aback, but he’ll try to cover it up right away with a witty one-liner
but if you throw one right back at him, his cool facade will crack even more and you’ll get to see a very rare slightly flustered Kaeya
he’s unable to keep eye contact for a few beats after, not wanting to show you his embarrassment
but soon he’ll get over it and return to the smooth-tongued Cavalry Captain persona, later attempting to fluster you back by kissing your hand or forehead
internally though he’s extremely grateful that you felt comfortable enough to confess on your own, he’s not used to being on the receiving end of affection
the night ends with you both walking outside the city walls, conversing and joking while holding hands and enjoying the starry sky together
Diluc Ragavindr
he kisses you
honestly he wouldn’t register that he has a crush on you until he sees you being cute and his heart thuds painfully against his ribcage
he’s hesitant to pursue you, constantly reminded that his loved ones could leave at any moment
but deep down he’s still that passionate young boy ready to spread his love, despite how reserved his exterior demeanor is
he takes advantage of his affluence and resources to set up the most beautiful and romantic venue to invite you to dinner
it’s a small (but still very nice) table set up near the lake outside the Dawn Winery, with a small candle in the middle for ambiance
he subtly gathers information about your food preferences a week before so he can surprise you with your favorite meal
it doesn’t matter what he wants to eat, he’s perfectly content with seeing you smile after every bite
after you finish dining, he invites you to walk along the shore under the pretense of “It’s good for digestion.”
he takes this opportunity to hold your hands and look directly in your eyes before asking for permission to kiss you
his kiss is firm and passionate, you feel as though the world has disappeared around you as you’re enveloped in his warmth
you kiss him
since he’s such a reserved person, it depends on how he feels about you
if he’s not ready or doesn’t realize his feelings, he’ll push you away and distance himself for a while
but if you’re confident that he reciprocates your feelings, you’ll get to see a rare side of the uncrowned king of Mondstadt
he’d be stunned at first, frozen in shock as processes reality, but soon melts into your embrace and kisses you with gentle passion
Diluc is probably so touch-starved, he’s running his hands up and down your body and holding you as if you might disappear any minute
it’s unusual to see such a stoic man in such a vulnerable state, a furious blush blooming across his face
he pulls you into a tight embrace, burying your face in his chest so you can’t see his embarrassment
the next morning, you find a beautiful bouquet of roses and note inviting you on a date
he wants to take you out properly so he can truly express how much he cares for you
Thoma
he kisses you
he has everything planned out down to the minute, wanting your first kiss to be perfect
he’s been repeating his plan and things he wants to say in his head all week, but immediately forgets all of it when he sees your cute smile
he invites you on a casual picnic, cooking your favorite foods and setting up a cute spot under a tree outside of the Kamisato estate
the whole time he keeps stealing glances at you and silently hyping himself up
he overthinks everything because he wants it to be perfectly romantic and smooth, his thoughts are a cacophony
“Is this the right time? No, maybe I should wait, but will it be too late? Is there something in my teeth? What if-“
after you finish eating, he waits for a quiet lull in the conversation before confessing, holding both of your hands as he asks to kiss you so earnestly
his kiss is soft and sweet, holding the side of your face gently as he revels in the feeling of your lips
you end the night gazing at the stars as you lay on the picnic blanket with entwined hands
you kiss him
Thoma is completely red in the face, you can practically see the steam coming out of his ears
he’ll hide his face in the crook of your shoulder afterwards, pouting lightly about how he wanted to kiss you first but you beat him to it
he sounds upset, but you couldn’t wipe the grin off of his face even if you tried
he gets over his initial embarrassment when he sees your beaming happiness, and loops an arm around your waist to kiss you on the forehead sweetly
he’s not used to people doing things for him, so he’s grateful that you thought of him in the first place
you end the night leaning into each other, exchanging sweet chaste pecks as you joke and converse
Arataki Itto
he kisses you
he can’t go to sleep the night before because he can’t stop imagining kissing you (but of course he’s super cool and suave in his imagination)
he asks if you want to go look for Onikabuto with him, but instead takes you to a beautiful cliff overlooking the sea
when the time comes, he’s trying to be cool and casual, but he can’t hide all his nervousness; he’s fiddling with his hair and can’t hold eye contact for longer than a few seconds at a time
he probably misses the first time, kissing the corner of your mouth or bumping your teeth accidentally
Poor guy is mortified, but just laugh it off and tell him it’s alright and he’ll fall for you more
he begs for another chance and kisses you properly the next time, with more confidence and determination
his kiss is surprisingly gentle, as if he’s afraid of hurting you with his strength
afterwards he’s so giddy that he jumps up and yells out to the sea with his whole chest “I LOVE Y/N!!” like he’s proclaiming his victory to the archons
you kiss him
he hasn’t quite registered what had just happened until a few seconds later, frozen in place until all the thoughts come rushing at once
congratulations you have broken him
he’s a blushing stuttering mess, trying to find the words that simply aren’t coming to his brain as he manages to get out broken phrases
he’s just trying to process that yes, you liked him too, and no this isn’t a dream
just put your hands on his cheeks and pull his face closer to yours, look at him in the eyes and tell him that you truly like him, then kiss him again
on the second kiss he’s fully melted into you, hands around your waist as he pulls your body closer to his
you can feel the smile on his lips and the heat emanating from his face
his excitement is contagious, with both of you trying not to grin during the kiss, but it fails and you both break away laughing, his hand holding yours tightly as you lean on each other

Okay initial thoughts in no particular order….
- The Tortured Poets Department immediately screams Emo to me! 🖤 I’m screaming to the heavens for this to be the punk rock album!!
- Wondering if this is Karma rebranded. The sensuality of the cover, the call back to black and white, I feel like she’s linking this album to Rep and hopefully giving us some of what SHOULD have come before Rep if the “Karma” era hadn’t been derailed.
- Predicting this is the end snippet of the liner notes/prologue/whatever for the album. Talking about evidence (her music is her evidence people!!!! Not her PR front!)
- the reference to the coat of arms!
- the muses collected like bruises…muses and the poets both calling back to The Lakes.
- the love bombs! Immediately made me think of things like Kissgate and Lavender Haze
Just OMG!!!!!!!!!!! 😳😮😳😮😳😮😳

"You Told Me" - live in Salt Lake City, May 1968. (Photos in this edit are by Henry Diltz.)
“Very interesting use of the banjo on that cut [’You Told Me’]. I thought it really kicked. My friends all said, ‘That’s your axe, buddy.’ It really kills when the banjo comes right in the middle and then the band hits with that nice bass drop. That moment is really exciting, that’s what music is supposed to be.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters, 1995 liner notes “When I heard that frail banjo over the top of my 12-string, I thought, ‘Boy, this is good. This is really, really good.’” - Michael Nesmith, 2019 (x)

Steve Harrington Headcanons (3/?)
Haven't done one of these in a while x
I did think of these myself, but if anyone has mentioned them before, please know it was unintentional. xxx
He has to check his hair every time he walks past a mirror
His sweat doesn't smell that bad
He's not a very good cook
Tends to order take out when he's home alone
Every now and then he will have nightmares about past events, but they are always much worse than what actually happened
Sometimes talks in his sleep
Avoids walking on grass or dirt if he's wearing his 'good shoes'
Does a big lunge over a puddle instead of just walking around it
Skimming stones at Lover's Lake to clear his head
Falls in love very easily - a girl could just accidently bump into him and he will think they were meant to be
Also gets jealous easily
Always gets dressed, even if he's not leaving the house
He struggles to sit in silence and always has to break the ice - he cracks a joke or a one liner that usually makes things more awkward
Aimlessly walking around his house eating an apple
Keeps his bat in his car as a safety precaution
