One Long Weekend: - Clyde/YN One-Shot Series CH 14

"What happened son?" "I met a girl."

Tagging: @roryculkinluvr @siriuslymooned @cc-luvr @crypticsewerslut @icarus-star @desert-springtime @shady-the-simp @izuoyarmin

SUNDAY, 9:00PM

Clyde stood at the laundromat for two hours doing his dirty laundry. He tried to keep his mind focused on anything but Y/N but he just couldn't stop looking at his phone. He realized he never got her phone number which made him feel like an idiot. Snow had texted him throughout the day asking if he had heard from her yet and by the afternoon time, he finally asked her to stop asking because it was bumming him out.

He kicked around the apartment for awhile, cleaning random things. His apartment had never looked so put together, even when he moved in. Johnny had stopped in to see if he wanted to go to a show tonight but when he saw the state of the apartment, he was worried.

"Dude...are you moving out or something?" Johnny ran his hand on the kitchenette counter and it wasn't sticky for a change.

"No I just...I can't stop thinking about Y/N and the possibility that I may have fucked up. I've been trying to stay busy all day but she hasn't called or texted...nothing." Johnny knew that Clyde wasn't someone who put himself out there romantically. He knew he was really into Y/N when he finally stepped up and asked her out because usually he would provide safe haven for people and let them drift off into the night whenever they wanted to. She was different. He could tell his best friend really cared about this girl.

"Did you ask Snow if maybe she's called her? I mean I know she's got her number because she sent pictures to her from the other night." Johnny tried and Clyde's eyes went wide.

"Snow has her number?! She didn't say that!" Clyde snatched his phone up and started texting Snow immediately. She apologized and sent him her number and the photos she had.

"Look, I don't want to leave you here like this man. Why not just come out for a little bit to take your mind off of things. She'll call. She was definitely into you. Beau was actually butthurt she turned him down for you." Clyde looked at Johnny.

"She did?" He asked almost desperately.

"Yeah man! You've gotta stop shitting on yourself. That's my job!" Johnny put him in a headlock and Clyde pinched his nipple.

"I'm good here man. I might take a drive later just to grab groceries but I'll hit you up. Thanks for having my back." Clyde held his hand out and Johnny dapped him up, pulling their hands to his chest in a side hug.

Clyde considered actually going to the grocery store just to restock in case Y/N just randomly showed up but first he tried to text, just to check in.

"Hey, it's Clyde. I was thinking about you and wanted to check in." Clyde sent the text, thumb shaking over the SEND button for a few moments before he let it fly. He sat on the couch, bouncing his knee up and down for about 10 minutes before pacing back and forth, biting his thumbnail.

"Jesus I'm fucking losing it." Clyde raked his hands through his hair and pocketed his phone. He walked out of the apartment, jumping in the van and batting the idea of doing a drive by around in his head. He had no idea what she drove so checking the lot for a car was pointless. He kept checking his phone but the message still went unanswered. He cruised past her apartment complex but there weren't any lights on.

"Okay if she's not home, why isn't she answering her phone?" Clyde said outloud to himself.

"Fuck it." He dialed the number and waited.

"The number you are trying to reach is currently not available."

Clyde felt like he had been punched in the gut. He tossed his phone on the seat and shook his head. This wasn't like him. He wasn't this guy and he hated that he was acting this crazy. He pulled away from her apartment and just started driving. He didn't want to go back to his apartment and he didn't want to be around anyone so he went to the last place anyone would look for him.

He knew it was late but he didn't see a car in the driveway which meant either no one was home or he was about to walk in and create chaos. He used the key and made sure to enter the code in the keypad before the alarm sounded but he jumped when his dad popped around the corner.

"Jesus Clyde! You scared the hell out of me. What are you doing here?" His dad was holding a carton of milk in one hand and his cellphone in the other.

"I...um...I don't know if Shelly is home or not but I was wondering if I could stay here tonight." Clyde tucked his hair behind his ear and his Dad knew something was wrong. Clyde never asked to do many things. He usually would just do things and try to charm people into not being pissed about it. Despite being kicked out of the home, Clyde had a decent relationship with his dad. He was always kind of a little shit to his step mom and shooting the dog didn't help but his dad was actually grateful. They both couldn't handle watching the dog suffer any longer.

"She's out of town so you can stand down." Clyde relaxed and followed his dad into the kitchen.

"Are you hungry? I was about to make some cereal." He grabbed Clyde a bowl knowing the boy stayed hungry but Clyde shook his head.

"Is everything okay? You never turn down food." His dad sat down at the table and Clyde stayed in the corner, arms crossed bouncing on his feet.

"Yeah I'm...I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind." Clyde didn't meet his dad's gaze until the screech of the chair legs across the floor sounded, his dad extending his arm inviting him to sit. Clyde did and started biting his thumb again.

"What happened son?" His dad was beginning to really worry.

"I met a girl." Clyde breathed.

"Oh God! Is she pregnant? Is she okay? How long-"

"No God no! Nothing like that. I just...I've never felt like this before and I keep thinking I already fucked it up or if I hadn't then I absolutely will." Clyde rambled.

"Oh...well that's good. Not that you think you'll fuck it up but that, you know...no babies...not yet anyway. You know I wouldn't mind being a grandpa just not...you know, right now." Clyde shook his head. It was times like this where he knew what traits he got from him and what he got from his mom, which wasn't much.

"You think you love her?" Clyde looked at him pained.

"Yeah...I'm pretty sure I do which is crazy. I mean we spent two days together and I can't stop thinking about her but I don't know! How do you know? I've never been in love before." Clyde racked his hands through his hair and his dad reached out to him.

"Son, you've got to take a breath. Love isn't something that should make you carry dread. You have a big heart so the idea of falling in love with someone can be scary but if the person truly has the same feelings, they'll never make you feel that dread." Clyde nodded at his dad.

"What if she doesn't realize I'm like this? What if she finds out I've been freaking out about her all day and she's too overwhelmed by it...by me?" His dad laughed.

"Clyde, if she spent even two hours with you, I'm sure she knows that you are a hurricane of chaos but in the best way. You've just got to let her meet you halfway." Clyde felt like that would be impossible. He was so anxious about the whole situation that he didn't know if he liked feeling like this if it was what love was.

His phone beeped in his pocket and his heart jumped. He pulled his phone from his pocket and frowned.

"Is it her?" His dad inquired.

"No just Snow." Clyde opened the message and saw it was a picture of him and Y/n from last night. She was sitting on his lap, arm around his neck and they were both laughing. She had her eyes on him and looked comfortable being so connected to him. He looked truly happy just being able to be in her presence.

"This is Y/N. Snow must have taken it the other night." Clyde didn't usually show his dad photos of his friends because he knew how all of them looked out on the town.

"She's very pretty. She seems to be pretty infatuated with you..unless she just likes to sit on everyone's lap and wrap her arms around them." Clyde chuckled.

"No actually. She's pretty good about her personal space." Clyde said making his dad laugh.

"Just not when it comes to you...I wonder why that might be? I think she might like you a little bit." Clyde rolled his eyes.

"You look like you need sleep kid. Go upstairs, get comfortable and if you head out early, please let your old man know. Things will work themselves out. You just have to let it fall into place." His dad gripped his shoulder and Clyde nodded. He didn't come to his dad too often for these sorts of talks but he could tell it meant a lot to him. Clyde climbed the stairs and flopped down on his bed unsure of how he was just supposed to sleep.

📝 Mingi Masterlist

Mingi POV

"So I need a favor", Wooyoung asks me

I groan pausing the video game we're playing

"Again?"

He nods, "Yeah"

"What is it?"

He asks for favors all the time

Mostly little things

Like copying my notes in the history class we're in together

Or bumming a few won

Or crashing at my place

Or asking to study for midterms and finals the night before

And the list goes on

"Can you help me get a date with Joanne?"

My heart drops

He likes Joanne?

Since when?

"I didn't know you like her", I comment

"Well yeah. She's gorgeous, sweet, funny. The whole package"

"You want to date her or just fuck her? Because I'm not helping with that", I say testily

"No I don't want to fuck her...wait...I do but that's not what I'm asking for. I want to see what happens"

"Wooyoung-"

"Romantically. Not sexual. I'm not looking for that with her"

Oh fuck, he wants a relationship with her

He never wanted a relationship with any girl but of course it has to be her

"Can you help me?"

I don't want to

I really don't

"Why do you need my help? She's you're friend too. Just talk to her", I answer

"C'mon, I want this to work. I want her to say yes. She's you're best friend, you can convince her to give me a shot"

I sigh

I don't know what to do

I was working up the courage to ask her out myself

I've wanted her for a long time but I was scared to fuck up our friendship

And just when I was getting ready to talk to her, Wooyoung is saying this

It's like the universe doesn't want me to be with her

If she'd even say yes

I don't know if she would have

But Wooyoung likes her and she may like him

And that small fact is what makes me give in

If she's happy with Wooyoung then that's all I want

Her to be happy even if it's not with me

I held my feelings in for so long, I can hold them in for longer

"Yeah fine, I'll talk to her", I give in

"Great!", he smiles, "Thanks"

I just nod

I can't talk around the lump in my throat

Blinking quickly to prevent tears I feel like crying, I unpause the game so I can kill something

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

J POV

I can't take my eyes off of Mingi

He has on his glasses and he looks so cute

His big brown eyes look bigger through the lenses

His blond hair is parted to the side

I like it like that but my favorite is when he styles it back and his undercut is visible

I'm a sucker for undercuts

Especially on him

I want to reach out and touch his jaw

He has an amazing jawline and I just want to kiss it, touch it, touch him

Hold his hand and see his big one around my small one

He's held my hand a few times but only in a friendly way

I want more but I don't know how to tell him that

"Jo?"

"Huh?", I answer, focusing on what he's saying again

"I want to talk to you about something"

My heart hammers in my chest

Is he going to say he likes me?

Please please please

"What is it?"

"You know Wooyoung right?"

My heart deflates

Of course he's not going to say he likes me

He never will

It was stupid to get my hopes up

"Yeah what about him?"

"Well he's a great guy"

I stare at him in confusion

What the hell?

"Uh ok", I answer slowly

"And if he were to ask you on a date would you go?"

What the fuck is this?

He's hyping up another guy?

Really?

"I don't know Gi. I don't really see him like that"

Because I want you, you dummy

"Give him a chance"

Oh god, is Wooyoung really gonna ask me out?

"Mingi is he....."

Mingi nods

"He really likes you Jo" he says softly

Oh fuck

Why is this happening?

I mean I like Wooyoung but just as a friend

Yes he's beautiful and hot too but that's as far as it goes for me

I know he's nice and he's sweet but he's not what I want

I want Mingi

"I don't know"

"It's just a date. Give him a chance"

I know it sounds awful but I don't want to

I already know there's nothing there

"Please? He's really nervous about asking you. I don't know, I think he'd want a real relationship with you if the date goes well"

No, I don't want that

And I don't want to lead him on either

That's not fair to me

"Mingi-"

"Please?"

Goddamn it

Why does he have to be my weakness and get me to do things I wouldn't otherwise do?

"One date", I agree

"Thanks", he smiles

I nod and smile at him but inside I'm a mess

If he's telling me to go out with Wooyoung and pushing so hard for it then it means he really doesn't see me as anything other than a friend

Before I could of pretended, when I didn't know

Now I can't

And it hurts so much more than I was preparing myself for

I always knew there was a chance Mingi didn't feel the way I felt and I prepared myself for the hurt I'd feel

But I didn't know it'd hurt like this

I'm such a loser for loving him

Maybe I should go out with Wooyoung and really give him a chance

Maybe I'll really like Wooyoung so much that I'll get over Mingi

Yeah and maybe pigs will fly

---------------------------

One week later

"So how was your date with Wooyoung?", Mingi asks

I shrug

Why is that the first thing he has to ask?

I just got to his apartment and was ready to watch a movie to take my mind off of everything

That's blown to shit now

"It was nice"

"Where'd you go?"

I raise my eyebrow, "He didn't tell you?"

He shakes his head, "I haven't talked to him yet. You're the first one I've seen out of the two of you"

"Oh uh he took me to the aquarium"

"Wow really? He knows you like animals?"

I nod, "Yeah. When I gave him my number after he asked me out, he asked how I felt about animals. I told them I love them. Then he surprised me. It was fun"

It was fun

I love the aquarium and zoo even thought I think the animals should be on a sanctuary instead

Wooyoung was funny and cute

I just wish it was Mingi with me

"After he took me out to eat. Then home"

"Sounds like he went all out"

I mean I guess

I don't know how Wooyoung is with dates

"Did you kiss him?"

Why is he asking that?

That's a really weird question to ask

"He kissed me at my door. I kissed him back"

I see Mingi's jaw clench but he keeps his gaze on the floor

What's that's about, I don't know and I'm too tired to try to figure it out it, make theories in my head

I already know he doesn't want me like I want him, so why even bother to make it into something it's not

"Did you like it?"

Ok what the hell?

Why does he want to know that?

It's weird

"I..I don't know why you're asking this Gi. Why you want to know"

He shrugs, "Just making conversation. Guess I just want to know if you like saw stars or something when he kissed you. You know like the movie shit we always make fun of"

Stars?

With Wooyoung?

No

Mingi's being weird and I want him to cut it out

"It was ok", I answer

He nods, "Are you going to go out with him again?"

No

I made up my mind yesterday

I can't go out with Wooyoung again

He's not Mingi

And my mind was on Mingi the entire time I was with Wooyoung

It's not fair to Wooyoung

I don't want to lead him on

He's a good friend but nothing more

"No"

He finally looks at me and I fall into gorgeous brown his eyes

"Why not?"

I blink confused

What does he mean why not?

"I don't feel like that for him", I answer

"But you didn't try. Maybe you need to give it a few more dates"

Uh no

I know what I want and it's not Wooyoung

"I don't think so"

"I think you should go on another date with him"

Why is he pushing so hard for this?

Doesn't my opinion matter?

Doesn't what I want matter?

"I don't want to"

"He's a really nice guy. Give him another chance"

"Mingi, no"

"C'mon Jo don't be dumb and let him go"

That's it

I stand up, so angry and irritated, "I don't want to"

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want him! I want you, you fucking dumb idiot! I love you! But you're too dumb to see it and now I know you don't fucking care."

He's staring at me in complete disbelief

God I just ruined our friendship

My stupid mouth, my stupid temper

But since it's out, I might as well keep going

"I'm fucking dumb too", I yell so I don't cry, "I was so dumb to fall for you when I knew you'd never feel like that for me. God I'm stupid. You just want me with Wooyoung no matter what I say! So fine! I'll go out with him again. I'll make him my boyfriend. I'll kiss him and hug him and hold his hand and fuck him. Now fuck off!"

I turn from him and storm to the door

In anger and sheer embarrassment

I need to leave, get far away and stay away for awhile

I'm almost to the door, when I feel him grab my hand and turn me to him

I feel his lips crash into mine and my brain registers that he's kissing me

He's kissing me, his tongue sliding in and touching mine

I push all the questions I have away and just feel

And when I do, fucking stupid ass stars burst in my vision

My hands move on their own, around his neck and into his hair

His arms move around my waist, pulling me to him, right against him

I don't know how long we kiss for but it's fucking heaven and I don't want to stop

But of course it has to end

He pulls away, his forehead leaning against mine

"Stars", I whisper

"Me too"

My heart beats a mile a second, waiting for him to say something

"I love you", he whispers, "I love you so much"

He does?

What?

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because I was so scared you wouldn't feel the same way. I was scared to ruin our friendship. And when I was going to tell you, Wooyoung asked me to help him get a date with you"

I'm confused

If he loves me why did he help Wooyoung?

"Why did you do it?"

"Because I didn't know how you felt about me. But if you could be happy with him, I'd accept it."

"No", I whisper, "I can't be happy with anyone who is not you. Just seeing you makes me happy. And the whole time I was with Wooyoung I was thinking of you. I wanted to be there with you."

"I didn't know. I'm sorry"

"Why did you keep telling me I should give Wooyoung another chance?"

That still doesn't make sense

"I don't...I don't know. I thought you really didn't feel anything for me because you said yes to him. And he really is a good guy"

"Not for me. I could see he's a good guy Gi, but he's not you. You are the one I want. The one I always wanted", I confess

"You're the one I always wanted too", he asks, "I don't want you to hug him or kiss him or hold his hand. I don't want you to fuck him. I want you to do all that with me. I want you to be mine."

I nod

Of course I'm his

I always was

"Always"

A huge smile bursts on his face and it takes my fucking breath away

He pulls me back for a kiss and I go willingly

His lips press against mine, sending a searing heat through my body

His hands grip my thighs, lifting me up so easily

I wrap my legs around him as he walks back to his couch, sitting down on

I can't tear my lips from his and I'm elated when I realize I don't have to

He's mine now and I can kiss him for however long we want

As I straddle him, his hands grab hold onto my ass, squeezing as his tongue plays with mine

I can feel his hard on through out pants and god he feels massive

I feel his hands run up to the waistband of my pants, slowly tugging it down

I drop my own hands to his jeans, undoing his belt

He pulls my pants and panties down until he can't anymore and I stand up quickly taking them off as he takes his jeans and boxers off

I look up, almost falling down at the sight of his huge, thick cock standing straight up, crying cum and waiting to be ridden

I knew he was this big

I don't know how but I knew it

His eyes are on my pussy, biting his lip, driving me crazy

His gaze moves to mine and he holds his hands out to me

I take them, him pulling me closer as I eagerly climb back on top of him

Sitting on his hard dick makes my cunt so wet and throbby that I have to grind against him to get so relief

His mouth crashes against mine, his hands helping me move along his length

After a few minutes I can't take it, I need him inside

Reaching between us, I grab his slippery shaft, holding it up and I hover over him

"Don't you need-"

"No", I shake my head, "Don't you feel how wet you made me?"

"Fuck", he murmurs, nodding

"I'm ready"

"Good"

He kisses me hungrily as his hands land on my hips shoving me down his cock

Pleasure screams in my body as his huge thickness forces me open around him, my pussy latching onto him right away

"Fuck", he yells, breaking the kiss, "Fuck, so tight. God baby, I knew it. I knew you were tight like this"

"Mm yeah?", I whisper, kissing his jaw, "Like I knew you were this big?"

He nods, "Yeah fuck. You feel so good. God, so wet it's all over the place"

I know

I've never been this wet before

My pussy is just gushing juice like a waterfall, clenching so tightly around him

I'm so ready to move, placing my hands on his shoulders and sliding up his length

His holds his breath and I come down so hard, taking him all in, his cock slamming my spot

"Fuck!", we both scream and I take that to go faster

Every bounce on his cock I take harder, rougher, his cock touching all the right places inside me, opening me over and over, the drag of his cock so fucking pleasurable, my body shakes with each move

"Oh my fucking god", he cries, leaning his head back on the couch, eyes closed, pleasure all over his face, "Oh my fucking god. Don't stop baby. Fuck"

Oh I'm not stopping

The fucking bliss is immense and I will not stop until we both cum

I'm not one for riding because frankly it fucking burns my legs but riding him?

Not a problem

With him, it's easy

As I move on him, I feel his hands slide up my body, pulling my shirt up

Raising my arms, he takes it off as I keep bouncing on him

I can't stop

I don't want to stop

I feel my bra come off, his low moans and the feel of his fingertips on my body sending shivers down my spine

Sitting up a little straighter, I tug on his shirt, "Off"

He pulls it off in one fluid motion throwing it on the floor and my eyes see his body for the first time since we were both awkward teenagers

"Oh my fuck Mingi", I gape

He's fucking perfect

Perfect

I can't help myself as I touch his broad chest feeling the muscle underneath his soft skin

And I swear my cunt gets wetter as I trace his chiseled abs

I'm not shallow, I don't care about him having abs but fuck are they hot

And a huge plus for however long he has them

Putting his hands over mine, he keeps them on his abs, smirking, "Baby likes my abs huh? You're sweet pussy got so wet, it's all over my lap"

I nod, "I like them"

I make a note to talk to him about his abs later making sure he understands that I don't care if he has them or not

I'll still love him

But for now, I keep quiet, feel them under my palms and ride his cock like I'm never going to be on him again

"God you're so pretty riding me", he murmurs

"Only when riding you?", I tease

His eyes find mine, the love in them so intense it sends shivers up my spine

"You're always beautiful Jo. Always", he says seriously, "I've never seen a girl more gorgeous than you. No one compares to you. No one"

I smile softly at him

"No one compares to you Mingi. I love you with all my heart"

He smiles back, so beautifully, "I love you Jo. With all my heart"

I lean forward, kissing him, the feel of his lips absolute heaven

As I kiss him, I change my movements from bouncing to rocking on him, swallowing his moans

His hands help me move, while mine are buried in his hair, his tongue deep in my mouth

I sigh, loving the feeling of his mouth moving against mine, so happy that I exploded on him and finally told him how I felt

And so happy he didn't let me leave

After a few minutes, I break the kiss, sitting up

I need more of him

I need to feel his cock fuck me wide open

Leaning back, I put my hands on his legs, my head back as I slide up and down his perfect cock

God he feels so fucking amazing, the pleasure nothing I've ever felt before

Mingi's fingers slide up my body, his hands ending up around my breasts, squeezing, his thumbs running over my nipples

"Mingi", I moan

"Oh fuck baby, moan my name. Fuck I love it. Please aegi"

I'll do that no problem

His name is coming out anyway

Squeezing his legs, I ride him harder, the pleasure so fucking intense, I'm almost there

"God fuck", he groans, "Fucking pretty pussy creaming my cock so much baby. God, don't stop"

Slamming down on him, his head smashing my spot, I cum, stars blasting in my vision as ecstasy engulfs me

"Mingi! Mingi!"

"Oh my god. Fuck so tight", he gasps, "Feels so good baby"

It does

It really does

My arms are shaking and I feel them give out as the pleasure runs through me

Best orgasm ever

When I come back to earth, I realize I'm laying on Mingi's chest, his hand running in my hair

"I uh-", I start

"You almost fell off me aegi. Guess you had a massive orgasm"

I sit up, nodding and blushing, "The best I ever had"

His eyes sparkle as he smiles, "Because of me?"

I nod, "Yeah baby because of you"

His grin gets wider as he stands up, holding onto me tightly

"Well let's go where there's more room and I can give you another one"

With that he carries me to his room

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

Mingi POV

Getting her on my bed, she pulls me on top of her, her mouth against mine in a deep kiss

I kiss her back eagerly so fucking happy she's mine

I never thought she'd feel like I do

Hearing her yell that she loves me, god I was so thrown

When it finally penetrated my brain, I heard her saying she was going to kiss Wooyoung, hug, hold his hand and fuck him

I couldn't let her leave

I'm glad I stopped her but I would of ran after her if she managed to leave

Hearing the girl of my dreams tell me she loves me?

Nothing on this earth, in heaven or hell would keep me away from her

I love her more than anything in the world and I'm going to be the best man I can be for her

The best boyfriend

She presses her body against mine, her legs wrapping around my waist

Fuck, I already love feeling her soft, smooth skin against mine, her small body underneath mine

I'm never gonna get enough of her

Never

"Please Mingi. I want you", she murmurs, pressing kisses to my shoulder, "I need you"

Fuck, I'll never get tired of hearing her say she needs me

Or needing her too

Aligning to her pussy, I push in, reveling in the way her cunt suckings me inside, the way she opens for me, the way she throbs so fucking blissfully

The way she takes my whole cock inside her

The way she clings on to me, moaning my name softly

God it's everything

Kissing her, I pull out, then quickly pound back in

I keep going, rolling my hips, burying my cock inside her, pleasure everywhere

"Mingi", she moans, her hands buried in my hair, tugging as she kisses me

Hearing my name in her voice does things to me and I pick up the pace, slamming into her pussy over and over

She's so fucking wet, it's so easy to slide in and out of her pretty cunt

I know she's soaking my bed and I fucking love it

Gripping her hips, I move her a little and the next thrust has her screaming, her body arching into mine

"There. Fuck Mingi. There baby. Please"

I thrust experimentally into that spot again, getting the same reaction

"There baby?", I ask

She nods, biting her lip, her head pushes back into the pillow, pleasure all over her face

Pleasure I'm putting there

I lavish her neck with kisses, moving one hand around her boob, playing with her nipple, the other holding me up so I can watch her

She moans, her hands around me, her fingers digging into my back

God everything she does is incredible

Every move, every squeeze is fucking bliss

"Mingi, I'm.. I'm", she whimpers

"Cum for me baby", I ask, "Scream my name baby. Please"

He cunt gets unbelievably tight, throbbing so fast around me

"Mingi, yes Mingi!", she cries, coming around my cock, clenching hard

Immense pleasure hits me feeling her cum on me and this is officially my favorite part of sex

Feeling her orgasm

I watch her in so much pleasure, awed at how gorgeous she is when she cums

I was watching her body, her pussy before when she was coming on me

This time I'm watching her beautiful face

When she finishes, her eyes open, smiling softly

"Kiss me", she asks

She never has to ask twice

Pressing my lips to hers, her hands stay on my back, while her hips move, sliding herself along my length

"Mm baby girl", I whimper, "Want more?"

"Mmmmhmmm", she whimpers, pulling away from my lips and whispering, "I want my baby to cum. Fill my pussy up"

Oh fuck, I want that so much

She keeps moving, signalling me to move too

I thrust in her perfect cunt, meeting her hips as we move together and it feels so fucking good

"Mingi, you feel so good baby. God I love you"

"I love you aegi, so fucking much"

"Cum baby", she tells me, running her fingers up and down my back

"You first baby", I whimper, kissing her pretty neck, "I want to feel you first"

I make sure my head is hitting her spot, listening to her moan, I thrust faster, both of us close

I can already tell her signs

Her labored breathing, the way her fingers grip me, the way her body shakes, her moans of my name

"Mingi! Mingi!", she cries, coming again

Ecstasy blasts in my body as she sets off my orgasm

Sheathing myself inside her, I feel her pulsate around my cock as I cum, filling up her pussy

"Yes Mingi. Feels so good baby", she praises

"Baby, Jo, fuck", I moan, burying my face on her neck, inhaling her scent and completely giving into the bliss of her cunt milking my cock for all my cum

God she takes my cum so well just like she takes my dick

Her fingers run in hair, feeling good as the pleasure tapers off

She holds me tightly, the fingers of her other hand running up and down my back, making my skin shiver

"Mmm can we stay like this?", I ask

She giggles, the sound so cute, "Yeah baby. We can"

"Good", I answer, moving my arms around her body, loving the feeling of her arms around me

"Baby?"

"Yeah aegi?"

"What uh....what are we gonna do about Wooyoung?"

Shit

I didn't even think of that

But I guess I'll just tell him that we love each other

I doubt he'd want a girl who loves someone else

He might be pissed for a little bit he'll get over it

"Don't worry aegi. I'll talk to him ok?"

"Are you sure?"

I nod, "Yeah baby. I'll handle him"

"Ok", she says, kissing the top of my hair, making me grin like an idiot

"Can we take a nap baby?", I ask, the feeling of her fingers running in my hair lulling me to sleep

"Sure baby. We can do that", she says, softly

"I love you Jo"

"I love you Mingi"

Closing my eyes, I happily give into the feeling of my baby putting me to sleep

Sam decides this is it. Tonight's the night. He has it all planned out. Theater, dinner, champagne, and he brings the ring out after dessert. It's too perfect.

Until Eileen says no. "It's just not us Sam. This isn't how I want to be proposed to. Don't try so hard."

Sam's bummed but like also "challenge accepted"

They go off on a hunt near one of Bobby's old hunting cabins. It's kind of romantic. No phone service, no wifi. But the cabin is cozy and has a firepit near the lake. Plus they're going after a possible windigo in the woods? Nothing is more them than this. Gank the thing during the day, cuddle all night and Sam asks before they drive home.

Except windigo blood and guts aren't sexy. Eileen got taken and tried to stab her way out of it. Sam smells like smoke and burnt skin from getting too close while torching it. Even after triple showering, they both are too exhausted and disgusting. So Sam decides not to do it.

A couple weeks later, they're hanging out at the bunker. Dean suggested tying the ring to Miracle's collar. Jack offered to help make a scavenger hunt with clues and hiding the ring somewhere. But at this point, Sam is so nervous and he wants it over with and he just wants her to say yes and dammit why is she making this so hard.

So he gives up on proposing. Weeks pass. Months pass. Eileen knows it's not forever and he's just waiting for the perfect moment.

Dean lets them take the Impala for a drive. They pack a picnic and head out of town for the afternoon. After too much bread and wine, they end up in the backseat. The sun starts to set and they're lying on the hood watching the stars appear. This is the most elated the two have been in a long time and Sam starts to wonder if this is it... until he realizes he didn't bring the ring.

Fuck it.

He taps her shoulder and she turns to look at him. He props himself up on his elbow and signs. 'Eileen...'

She knows. And laughs. "Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes."

"You're not even gonna let me ask? Just yes?"

"You can ask. I just wanted you to know the answer first."

So Sam signs what he's been practicing and working up to all this time. 'Will you marry me?'

Eileen signs back 'Yes'.

TL;DR how I think Sam finally proposed to Eileen

Deepest Dive on Mike and his Gay Feelings

For my complete timeline of Mike and his gay feelings read my deep and deeper dives. S4 was imo the hardest season to dissect Mike's feelings. We're only given a little bit of him and what were given feels so closed off. It’s like the duffers wrote him into this one dimensional, love-stricken character...but lemme explain how that ain’t so.

*******

S3 leaves us with Mike feeling a lot: he’s accepted he’s not normal *no more internalized homophobia!!!*, he knows he doesn’t love El romantically, and he knows he’s in love with Will. With Will in particular, he’s really feeling some mixed emotions. On one hand, Mike’s super fucking hopeful ab their friendship and a possibility of Will liking him back romantically because Will said he’d never join another party (meaning he’s not going to leave Mike behind). But on the other, he’s depressed and scared af ab being long distance and it changing things. In terms of El, he really dislikes how she thinks he's in love with him and tries desperately to disprove it hence the From, Mike. But since they've been writing to each other for a year it's safe to say Mike really feels like they are really good buddies.

*PSA: this is an excerpt from Lucas on the Line. If you want to read the book, read it to learn more about Lucas: his struggles against racism, his feelings ab having unsupportive friends, and lumax from his pov. I'm using this excerpt because it is ab Mike from a neutral pov, not to belittle Lucas or his experiences.*

"Mike went straight back to moping, but it's even worse than before. He won't come out of the house; he won't go anywhere. He's in his basement all day, playing Super Mario Bros. on his new Nintendo Entertainment System. When he's not there, he's writing letters to El, now that he has her California address. Mrs. Wheeler can't even get him to leave his room these days."

He spent the first few months of a Willless life depressed and did his best to keep their friendship strong. We find out through Dustin that he tried to call, but he couldn’t get through because of Joyce’s job. From his pov, Will is being the shitty friend!! Not him!! As more and more time passed without receiving any calls or letters from him the less hope Mike had on Will like liking him back.

Just like 3x1, 4x1's first scene with mileven shows us it's bullshit. El starts lying the moment she starts talking ab herself, and unknowingly lies ab who Will's painting is for. But Mike doesn’t know this, and reading ab how Will is making some secretive painting for a random girl makes Mike jealous. Ffs he still has the binder of pictures, it’s seen poking out under his bed!! He considers art from Will as an honor because only ppl Will loves receives it. He doesn’t have time to sit and ponder ab this willel update tho cause he’s gonna be late for school and still in his underwear lol

Knowing from s3 that Mike accepted he’s def not normal explains his complete 180 personality change in s4. It explains why he’s so comfortable and proud of being a part of hellfire, why he’s able to go up to all different kinds of ppl and ask to play d&d with the party, and why he even tells Lucas "has it ever occurred that we don't want to be popular" (read between the lines ppl he's saying he doesn't want to be normal). And the "I hate highschool" line and his really bummed out look are because he knows if Will was there they wouldn't have to find an alternate.

*******

The airport scene is possibly my fav Mike scene from s4 *psst it’s actually mike's monologue 😏* because first watch you see it only from Will's eyes, but when you rewatch it with context Mike's behavior is crystal clear. He doesn’t want El or Will to know he’s been depressed, so he fakes a personality that’s a shitty knockoff of himself (love that Argyle even pointed out him wearing off brand clothes). Now with El, he immediately shows platonic body language—makes sure they don’t hug for too long and writes From, Mike on the flowers. But with Will *chuckles menacingly* he’s passive aggressive as hell.

The side hug was super intentional: he thinks they’re not as close anymore with all the silent treatment he's been receiving, and usually with ppl you’re not close with you do a side hug. He’s not uncomfortable giving men hugs —he gave Dustin a full hug at Hellfire and Lucas a full hug at the hospital— the side hug was to show Will he isn’t going to give him affection if they’re not close friends.

He noticed Will brought the painting (like right off the bat points it out) and asks him what it is. Not because he doesn’t know it’s a painting, but because he wants Will to reassure his jealous little mind that the painting isn’t actually for a girl. When Will brushes it off as nothing a flip switches, and now Mike’s in jealous bitch mode. He gives Will the blankest stare of “I cannot believe you just lied to my face” with the monotone cool.

Walking through the airport, Mike is trying VERY hard to play cool. He doesn’t want Will or El to notice he’s annoyed. He’s trying to move past Will brushing him off, so he makes small talk with El ab their itinerary for the day. Them talking ab the breakfast burritos was just a lil proof of how they don't have similar interests lol. When Will repeats Angela’s name after El brought her up, Mikes glances back at him and now begins the unsaid thought of “Will has a crush on Angela”. This further solidifies for Mike that his feelings are unrequited and that they’re just friends.

*******

Ahhhh I could fan girl over how brilliant the entirety of the rink-o-mania is for days, but for this post I’ll just give the simplest explanation I can for the most complex byler scene of s4.

The fight scene specifically can only be fully understood with this knowledge: Will’s pov is HIS pov (a sad gay boy third wheeling) and Mike’s anger has been brewing for a year. Will doesn’t know Mike is jealous ab the painting being for a girl, doesn’t know Mike’s been miserable without him everyday or that he did try to call, doesn’t know Mike is SUPER upset Will never called, and certainly doesn’t know Mike loves him romantically and totally noticed all the sulking. So why would we have seen it if rink-o-mania is from his pov?? Well, I discuss here how the one outside pov we got shows Mike's side. With all that being said, Mike's staring and attempts at talking to him are completely ignored. Mike feels shunned the whole day by a super mopey Will and is DONE with purposefully being ignored after a year of no contact. El lying to him then her getting humiliated by Angela was just a nail in the coffin to Mike’s miserable day. Yes Mike is hurt ab getting lied to, but he’s way more hurt by Will’s behavior and uses El’s situation as an opening to confront him.

The fight between these two is top tier miscommunication. It's so immaculate because of it being from Will’s pov you don’t even recognize Mike’s angsty feelings. Mike starting with “it’s been a year and you didn’t tell me” subtly telling Will he's pissed he didn't reach out more, immediately goes at Will for ruining his day by “rolling his eyes and moping” because Mike was excited to finally talk/hangout after a year, and realizes Will felt like a third wheel the whole day and he can't blame Will for El's lie but doesn't admit he’s in the wrong cause he's still pissed at him for never calling/writing. Just chef's kiss. Not to mention his face when Will says “what about us?” is priceless.

His face and the Will-voice “What?” is Mike being taken aback because he thought by this point he was the only one who cared to put effort into their relationship. However, when Will tells him he’s pissed ab how Mike never called or sent letters, Mike’s feelings of “omg Will cares 🥰” gets thrown out the window and turns into “is this mf really trying to blame ME rn 🤬”

So Mike’s response of “we’re friends. We’re friends.” is him making a fucking point. From his pov, Will doesn’t want more than just friends, so why should he have to treat Will like El if Will doesn’t even want more? It’s also him reminding himself that his feelings are unrequited, hence stating it twice. The “well we used to be best friends” makes Mike’s heart hurt a little cause he knows it’s true and tried to keep it that way. That’s why he tells Will he should’ve tried harder to call him and is confused to why he’s being made the bad guy; relationships (of all kinds) are a two-way street and Mike feels like theirs is all one-sided.

*******

The next morning Mike has def cooled off from the two arguments he's in. He wants to talk with El ab the bullying/lying (doesn't even want to get into a fight, just wants to talk) and wants to apologize to Will for fighting. Writing it out really shows how consistent his "apologize to no one but Will" behavior is lmao

Anyways, he goes into El's room and bellyflops into a fight because she's over his bs. But this fight is actually different than their past fights. It's truly different cause El calls Mike tf out for not saying I Love You!!!! Sure she calls him out for acting like she's a monster (he even explains the mean behavior), but Mike really feels called out for never saying ily. Guys, he knows he doesn't say it-- he does it on purpose. But he didn't know she was keeping track until IT LITERALLY GETS THROWN IN HIS FACE (Max woulda been proud). Mike can't really explain why he never says it because he knows he fucked up big time leading her on romantically.

And then El gets arrested and sent off to the Nina Project, so they didn't really have time to figure out where that fight leaves mileven. Except they don't need another talk because El explains beautifully how she's feeling about Mike as a bf in her letter

MIKE THINKS THEY ARE DONEZOOOO

He read that knowing damn well El was done being in a one-sided relationship and decided to be passive-aggressive ab it (again, Max woulda been proud). Mike throws the letter away because he's putting mileven in the motherfucking past!! He is done pretending to be in love with El and now wants to move forward platonically!!! He's scared shitless of losing her in his life, but only wants her in it as a friend!

But then how do you explain this conversation with Will? Well, from EVERYTHING we've seen of Mike from s3+s4, it's safe to say he isn't talking about telling her I Love You. In fact, it's most likely him wishing he could've explained his platonic/fraternal love for her and not wanting to blatantly lie to her face. Also wanna note he doesn't tell Will ab his inability to say ily because he doesn't want Will to know (obviously). Maybe because he knows how shitty admitting you can't say ily to your gf of two years sounds. Maybe because he doesn't want Will to believe he's in love with El when in reality he isn't. Maybe it's a bit of both. Maybe it's Maybelline *sorry bad joke*

And now, not only is he leaving mileven in his past...he's wanting byler for his future...

********

From this first heart-to-heart up until the van scene, we watch Mike pick up on Will's flirty/romantic behavior. Is he flirting back? Absolutely! Does he know why Will's being sus? Absolutely not!

Fav flirty scene is ofc "I didn't say it" "You didn't have to" because 1) very mega ultra flirty 2) Mike actually says out loud how he's been feeling the past year in regards to Will 3) it reestablishes them as a separate team and as best friends not just friends.

Honorable mentions include:

The triple take = Mike wanting to silently stare at Will but thinking he got caught by Will (and Will continuing to stare at him)

The cartop scene = Mike and Will both talking about how hard it is to admit you're gay and in love with the other without knowing it

The telephone scene = excuse for them to hold hands

and ofc all the staring, glancing down at each other's lips, and being so close they're a centimeter from touching each other's sides in literally every scene.

(I personally don't see anything noteworthy or abnormal ab Mike's behavior in Suzie's house like he was literally going through a stranger's house and was in a random girl's room)

******** THE VAN SCENE *Mike's breath catches*

(Edit: idk how I completely skipped over his superman/lois lane metaphor considering it's all ab his insecurities, but here's a link to a separate analysis on it) I'm referencing both what's on screen and the script for optimal analyzing btw. The only major hint from the script on what's in Mike's mind is the line, "She's already beginning to understand she doesn't need me. I saw it -- I saw it in her eyes, that last time we talked".

Mike's been knowing, wayyyy before st4, that El doesn't need him in the way he wants to be needed. He just wants to be someone's protector and to be with someone who will make major decisions ab their lives together. Being needed is how he knows he's loved-- El hasn't needed him like this since s1, and he knows that and is super insecure about it. But now he can see her realizing this for herself, and that's scary af for him because losing El means having no one make him feel completely loved *cough except Will cough*. But the moment he saw it in her eyes is the cop car scene: he says "I'm going to fix this" and she looks him dead in the eye with a stony face reading "No you're not" and looks away.

The two scenes we get of Jonathan's neutral pov show us Mike's feelings too. The first time we get his pov is when Will says the painting is from El. Mike looks between Will and the painting with confusion and slight disappointment. Do not try and convince me it's hetero in any way for a guy to, after hearing he got a beautiful painting from his gf and not his male bff, go from a super toothy grin to a disappointed/confused frown. The other time is when Jonathan realizes Will's talking ab his own feelings, however, Mike doesn't.

In an interview, the duffers said Mike kinda understands it's a masked love confession. This is the literal answer to the whole “does he know or does he not know” debate!!! Matt Duffer says he "may not fully pick up on it"--where's the proof? When is Mike doing the little bit of the picking uping?

But after rewatching, I noticed what got him to kinda realize Will's in love with him. Heavy emphasis on kinda. Like the lightbulb above his head is flickering ever so slightly. What tips Mike off to these possibly being Will's feelings is actually the fact that he doesn't say El thinks Mike's the heart-- it's genuinely just him telling Mike at face value he thinks he's the heart of the party! He brings El into the reassuring speech AFTER he says Mike’s the heart!! And Mike's reaction to being told Will thinks he's the heart of the party tells us the lightbulb is flickering; he didn't take his eyes off Will at all while he said this, and Mike's face shows he’s a little dumbstruck by Will feeling this way.

The dumbstruck face is one filled with love and disbelief, like if all that's in his head is "I can't believe Will thinks I'm the heart" and "Does Will love me back?".

But the reason he doesn't fully get it is Mike completely and utterly trusts Will to tell the truth. When he initially starts talking on behalf of El Mike looks at the painting with a confused face because he thought Will was talking about his own feelings and was using the painting as inspo, but because Mike trusts him he believes Will's words are El's. This scene is quite literally his second lie to Mike within the entire series. Mike doesn't know Will needs/loves him and doesn't know he makes Will feel loved/accepted for being gay.

There's debate on whether or not Mike notices Will crying, and I'm going to go with a no/yes. Yes, he noticed Will wasn't happy, but no he doesn't realize he was on the verge of tears and cries. Mike looks back at Will to try and catch his eye again, not because of the crying. He looks up at Will before he makes the muffled cry noises (which would've tipped Mike off) yet doesn't look up at him after, so I don't think he even noticed that either. If he was looking back at Will to see if he was ok, then Mike would've looked more concerned at the end of the speech. Instead, Mike looks happy and reassured by Will telling him exactly what he needed to hear-- that El (as far as he knows is the only person who's ever loved him) still needs him and always will.

******* MIKE'S MONOLOGUE *this would be a good time to stretch, go eat or drink some water, or stop reading if it's really late*

The only reason Mike does his monologue is because of Will. Before Will reminds him that he's the heart, Mike was trying to wake her up and get her tf out of there. He literally had to brace himself before saying this speech-- before saying I Love You. He tried so fucking hard to avoid saying it for over a YEAR because he knows he's not in love with her.

And now the moment y'all have been waiting for, the moment I say his whole speech was a lie...but plot twist he didn't lie ONCE. He wasn't lying when he confesses he's scared of El not needing him or losing her, that he views El as his superhero and believes in her abilities, and he wasn't lying all the times he said he loves her.

I know... It's shocking. take a seat, take deep breaths, sip some water before you faint while I explain *i am anti-mileven dw*.

Mike loves her PLATONICALLY. I've said and proved this a million times and by now we already know. But you know who doesn't? Literally every single person in the show besides himself. He hasn't wanted to give off the impression he's in love with her since 3x6 (exact moment being him yelling ily in front of the party). He's never ever wanted to lead El on with the idea that he loves her romantically. Saying "I love you", despite it always having a platonic meaning for Mike, doesn't mean it's platonic for everyone else. And Mike knows this-- it's why he has to brace himself. He's bracing himself to the fact that he's about to confess to El he loves her platonically knowing damn well it's going to be misconstrued by everyone. Hell even us, the delusional bylers, misconstrued it. It's why he goes from not saying it at all to bracing himself for the first time ily in front of her ever to yelling it 8 more times.

Understanding his ilys are platonic makes " ...you'll realize you don't need me anymore. And I thought if I said how I felt, it would somehow make that day hurt more" crystal mf clear. The whole speech is cringey and sounds fake, but this line just straight up doesn't make sense if you believe he was ever in love with El or lying to her. But now we know that Mike thought if he told El he doesn't love her romantically that she would completely take him out of his life because she already knows she doesn’t need him.

THIS ENTIRE SEASON HAS BEEN MIKE STRESSING AB TELLING EL HE LOVES HER PLATONICALLY AND THE CLOSER TO EL THEY GOT THE MORE ANXIOUS/NERVOUS HE BECAME AND THIS MASKED CONFESSION IS THE PINNACLE OF HIS ST4 ARC!!!!!!

And now I can unveil his behavior that backs this statement up because I wanted this to be a reveal within the love-speech lol:

He says "Maybe I should've said something...maybe she'd want me there with her, wherever she is" in the first heart-to-heart. This is wishful thinking; Mike has never been shown as a doubtful character. If anything, he's always been super stubborn on his thoughts and opinions. The word "maybe" being repeated over and over shows he doesn't really believe if he told El ily that she would've confided in him ab the Nina Project. It's simply wishful thinking.

Getting told by Will in the first heart-to-heart that he's going to have a chance to say ily isn't reassuring, it's just feeding into his fear of "if I tell El I'm not in love with her I'm going to lose her". It's why his face looks sullen right before it becomes a byler moment.

The word maybe is once again used when talking about how if he told El his feelings she would've confided in him on the cartop. It's the mf wishful thinking word!!!!! And "him not knowing what to say" is more like "he knows what to say just not in a positive way". People only say "I don't know what to say" when they do have something to say it's just going to hurt someone's feelings. Mike thinks saying he doesn't love her romantically is going to hurt her so bad that she'll want him out of her life.

car top "what if they don't like the truth" finally makes sense in terms of mileven!! What if El doesn't like that Mike loves her like a sister/friend? What if she stops being his friend altogether? It still applies with byler and his feelings for Will, but I really think this is what the duffers were focusing on with Mike's pov.

When Will talks about El helping them steal money in Vegas *that's so funny btw* it just reminds Mike that he's literally only 90 miles away from her and he's going to have to confess his real emotions soon. In the van he talks ab how he doesn't believe El needs him; this backs up the mf wishful thinking all throughout the season!

His emotions are so high and happy when finding Eleven unharmed that for a split second he forgets he has to tell her he doesn't love her--looks over to Will who is the love of his life and suddenly his smile drops. Yeah that was just him remembering why he was so anxious the whole season :(

Mike was going to say he's sorry he never says ily, but it's because he's not in love with her; And then Argyle had to come in 😑 But you might be thinking "if you're claiming he was so anxious this whole season, why is he so calm now?" It's because she just reassured him of his "losing El" insecurity by saying she missed him after they were acting friendly. This boy thought the ENTIRE season "when she finds out I'm gay she's not going to need me in her life anymore" but hearing that she missed him gives him hope that that's not going to happen. And you can see on his face how happy and relieved he is to know she still wants him in her life despite the fight he thought they couldn’t get back from.

The face he makes at Will while being told essentially "say what you wanted to say now" is pure fear. Yeah he felt calm before when it was just him and El, but now it would be him admitting he doesn't love his gf of two years romantically with three other guys in the room. Guys who may possibly not be as accepting or nice as El. Not to mention she’s literally dying, so what if his confession ab platonic love kills her?So he confesses, just not in the most obvious way.

And his life starting the day he met El in the woods? His life started the day in the woods because without El his life would be completely different: 1) Mike would've given up hope on finding Will without El's help. Possibly wouldn't have even found him without her help. Possibly would've killed himself at the quarry because of losing Will since he already tried doing that when El left 2) Wouldn't have discovered he's gay and in love with Will 3) Wouldn't have had the chance to be a leader/hero/guide for someone, which is how he likes to feel loved.

And are y'all really going to take his "love at first sight" bs at face value??? AFTER EVERYTHING I EXPLAINED IN THREE LONG MF POSTS?!? ofc he didn't fall in love with El at first sight-- the trailer tells us his actual thoughts were "that's not Will", he tells Will in the van that finding her was "dumb luck", and the duffer brothers don't even like the trope. Why would they use it if they don't like it?? IT'S BECAUSE ITS MF PLATONIC LOVE-- having Mike go from initially only becoming friends and loving El because she was Will's savior to him actually caring about her as a person and loving who she is despite ppl (and herself) viewing her as a monster. Are you fucking kidding me?!!? That's a beautiful twist!!!! He says it was the day they met because she gave him more hope in finding Will that night (the scene they show us isn't the only scene from that night with her wearing the yellow benny burgers shirt)!!!!!

And whenever he says "the truth is, El, idk how to live without out you" he still isn't lying. Do y'all seriously believe that he still feels the exact same way ab her as he did back in s2. Back when he was 12 and so goddamn deep in the closet he couldn't even tell that his feelings for her are platonic. Back when he only met her for a, granted an impactful and emotional but nonetheless, week. SEVEN DAYS. He's become as close to her as he is Dustin or Lucas over the past FEW YEARS. He considers her apart of the og party. Referring back to the book excerpt, he wasn't just depressed from a Will-less life-- he was also depressed from an El-less life. He wasn't living properly without either of them, and him saying he couldn't live without El doesn't devalue what he told Will back in the 2nd heart-to-heart or vice versa.

And what about "I'm sorry I don't say it more--it's not because I'm scared of you...I've never felt that way"? I am not about to list every mileven scene, but I will bring back the Rink-O-Mania. Yeah, like how I glided right over Mike's reaction earlier? Well, this scene would've been the perfect moment to show he is scared of her-- it's her, powerless, harming someone who hasn't physically hurt her. But his reaction that night wasn't fear, it was clearly anger! Cue the bewildered questioning, not sitting next to her in the aftermath, the tense car ride back, the Ted Wheeler dinner parallel. And if you still don't believe me, then why does he literally say after being told by she thinks he's scared of her "No, that's— that's not true. I was surprised. Maybe I was a little upset in the moment...Sorry, I just didn't know what to do...It happened so fast. But it doesn't change anything. It doesn't matter". It doesn't matter that she hit some girl over the head because he knows her and knows she's not some monster who attacks people unjustly. Again, not going over every mileven interaction, but every person who has used previous scenes to say he’s lying go rewatch those scenes and ask yourself “is he scared or is he angry”

So now let's get into why everyone from the byler audience is convinced he's lying. How are we supposed to know it's real with Will always above Mike's shoulder and El's reaction during the scene + mileven interactions afterwards. I now present to you this fact: The speech isn't from Mike's pov it's a combo of Will's and El's. Even tho we have yet to receive Mike's Monologue script *I'm livid at everyone who voted Angela over Mike* we should already know not to expect any hints into his mind based off of what the van script gave. Not to mention we never saw his pov when with Will/El before this, so why would the speech be any different. It comes off as cheesy and over the top in the pizza shop because Will's pov shows Mike professing his romantic love and how he's always been in love with her and how his life started the day Will disappeared.... meanwhile, El's pov pulls back from the lovey-dovey words and instead focuses on her struggling. Every time she doesn't believe what Mike is saying (never being scared of him, the first i love you) lightning strikes and the more she hears the more she strangles. Yeah even the visual aids were from El’s pov considering it’s happening in her head. Max saves her, not Mike. She doesn't believe him at all and thinks he's lying to her face the entire time. This explains why after this scene they haven't really talked to each other over the time jump and it explains the major stink eye she gives him.

Also because Mike is oblivious *always has been always will be* he doesn't know El is angry with him about the monologue, and believes it's what kept her from dying.

*******

Honestly thank god the hospital scene doesn't show anything important with Mike after dissecting that monologue lmaoo

The final byler heart-to-heart really isn't all that important either, but it def shows Mike is already starting to gravitate toward Will more than El. This will probably bleed into st5 but we’re not going there lol. He reassures Will about Vecna coming back with "We will. We will." This may or may not parallel the "We're friends. we're friends" line except "we will" grows byler closer while "we're friends" tore byler apart...

And the final scene showcases Mike glued to Will's side next to the canon couples while El's alone foreshadowing what’s to come :)

*******

This concludes my dives into Mike's gay feelings. Hopefully my timeline + insight into everything Mike related is proven correct in st5 and I don't end up looking like this

Sorry but I’m not a fan of vilanizing Maarva and Bix specifically because it sounds like the fandom wants to downplay all of Cassian’s previous relationships in order to make his relationship with Jyn more important. The Rebelcaptain fandom have been treating Jyn like the only important person in his life for years and it doesn’t sit right with me. What they had was beautiful and important but why tear down all he had before to praise it? Specially talking about romantic relationships, Bix is not this vile person who betrayed him, she was someone who cared for Cassian selflessly and loved him deeply, there’s no need to try to twist the beautiful thing they had.

oh give me a break

Jyn has nothing to do with this. Me saying that Bix did a shitty thing by revealing his secret isn't me saying she's vile, you're really twisting my words here. I also pointed out that Cassian may have been a shitty boyfriend too but that doesn't mean Bix didn't make mistakes. Cassian most likely told her about Kenari in confidence and telling the guy you're fucking who clearly hates your ex such a secret is a HUGE violation of trust, period, and I still can't imagine why she even did it because it's so nonsensical. It wasn't her secret to share, and it was a very personal and important one as well, so no, sharing that with anyone wouldn't have been okay, let alone fucking Timm. If you think it's fine to share your friend's important secrets, that's a reflection on you honestly, and I probably wouldn't confide in you about anything.

But criticizing a character's actions isn't the same as villainizing them. Can we not talk about characters critically anymore? Must they all be perfect little angels who's never done anything wrong? Bix isn't a bad person, but she did mess up here, and I'm pretty sure we can acknowledge that without demonising her. Yes, Bix and Cassian loved each other, and I never had any issues with that or him having an ex. Hell, I actually always supported the idea of Cassian having past relationships and talked multiple times about how people fall in love more than once. I think both Cassian and Bix messed up, yes, but nobody's trying to downplay their love or villanize Bix.

re Maarva, I'm not even gonna be nice here because I don't have patience for Maarva apologists. I already explained why I do not like her (once again, it's got nothing to do with Jyn!) and I'm not budging on that. I would have loved for Cassian to have a great, loving mother, whether bio or adopted, and I was pretty bummed and sad that's not what we got. But guess what, I don't have to villanize her because Maarva does that for herself. She's a shitty person who treated Cassian shitty and I'm not gonna act like she didn't just because she's his mother. Fuck Maarva.

And yes, I also hate it when people reduce Cassian to just a love interest for Jyn, but please tell me how criticizing Maarva for her shitty behavior, and in this one instance criticizing Bix for something she did, is the same as saying Cassian's only important relationship was Jyn. We tend to focus on shipping, that's true, but it's true for any fucking fandom. That doesn't mean we think she's the only important person in his life. There's so many other Cassian dynamics that people appreciate, I myself have talked tons about Cassian and Kerri, but there's also Kay, Bodhi, the guardians, Bee, Brasso, Draven, Luthen, Nemik, Vel, Kino, Clem, even Cinta... you name it. There are even non-canon relationships like Leia, or Shara and Kes, which are friendships I was always fond of, and I know many of us feel the same.

You say we tear down his other relationships to prop up Rebelcaptain but said other relationships are his emotionally abusive mother, and his ex which as I explained was simply pointing out that she did something questionable and Cassian's not the only in their relationship who messed up. Nobody even talked about Rebelcaptain, you did.

#i don't have anything against bix but i do think it was shitty of her to reveal his secret and im not gonna apologize for that #we should be allowed to criticize characters without it meaning that we hate them #this black and white mentality is fucking exhausting #putting this under a cut because i don't wanna bother people with this nonsense #replies #anonymous #anon hate

[muserepeats]

Why do you think the Euphoria fandom's most popular characters/ship is Lexi Howard & Fezco (Fexi)? They're not one of the main ships featured on the show, like Rue and Jules. And while many fans clearly identify with Lexi, who is intelligent, dedicated, caring and passionate, I wonder why (especially amongst fellow fanfic writers) Kat Hernandez, who writes fanfiction and has a secret double life on the internet, isn't more popular in the Euphoria fandom, or featured more prominently in fanfic.

Hmmm, so I think there are a few separate questions in this ask and many other people have articulated opinions that I share re: the lead inquiry. (Fez and Lexi were the rare earnest and genuinely romantic pairing in a season fraught with addiction, enabling addiction, being traumatized by an addict you love, toxic masculinity, cheating, fucking your best friend's ex, abuse, human trafficking, murder, etc. And Fez and Lexi are both attractive people. And they have great chemistry onscreen. And it was unexpected on a surface level yet worked so beautifully upon execution.)

[More below cuz I'm blabbering on.]

I have to disagree that Kat isn't popular in the overall Euphoria fandom. It's my understanding that lots of people were super bummed about her truncated arc in S2 and would have loved to see her with a meaningful and more integrated storyline in S3. She's featured on Dax's podcast this week, and her Euphoria commentary has been covered by multiple entertainment news outlets. Sure, it's partly "people love mess and want to know drama" but it's also "we loved this character and want to know why things didn't work out." I think Kat is popular and that's why the whole thing garners such attention, even now.

Musing on Kat inclusion in fics is a different thing. (And I do think overall Euphoria fandom is different from fic fandom and is different from tumblr fandom.) It's not particularly motivating for writers to watch a character they once enjoyed get a dead-end story. Not much to work with in S2. I would have loved to see more depth into her realization that "what you think you want isn't what you actually want" or whatever the Maddy quote was. That's such a relatable idea and would have been SO compelling to explore for Kat. But, didn't happen and we got minimal sidekick action. (A fix-it fic for Kat as an independent character would be lovely and I would gladly read it!)

Quite frankly, if Lexi hadn't gotten a strong narrative arc (including a romance) in S2 I don't think she'd appear frequently in fics. So to me, it's the compelling connection between Fez and Lexi that drives popularity. They both grew a lot and showed different sides to their characters, brought to the forefront by their interaction with one another.

Re: Kat in Fexi fics, I'm not surprised she isn’t prominently featured because she's not super connected to Fez or Lexi in-canon. Ash, Cassie, and Rue all make sense as more central figures in their stories. Even with AUs, there are some interesting relationship dynamics between Fez & Ash, Ash & Lexi, Cassie & Lexi, Rue & Fez, etc. that can drive plot, tension, character development, yada yada yada.

Possibly things like fat phobia and racism factor in, too. But I don’t think those are the only reasons we don’t get a lot of Kat.

Dramione 8th year. Ron’s POV.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/41359626

She was well

"What do you mean you didn't have to do anything?" Ron asked Harry as soon as the later stepped out from the fireplace. "Was she trying to prank us or something? Is that why you're back so soon?"

Harry looked like he would rather do anything else than standing in their shared office explaining to Ron whatever had happened when he had visited Hermione earlier at Hogwarts.

"No, she really is dating Malfoy," said Harry with resignation looking everywhere but at Ron. "I didn't even talk to her but it was so obv-"

"What?" Said Ron getting up from his seat. "You didn't talk to her? Harry, are you daft?"

"I'm not daft, you don't understand-"

"You were supposed to check on her," Ron could feel his own anger rising.

"I-"

"She could be under the influence of a love potion!"

"Ron-"

"Or controlled by the Imperius Curse! We're talking about Malfoy!"

"Ron, I didn't have to check-"

"'Didn't have to'? Harry, that's Auror training 101!"

"I know, Ron! For fuck's sake just let me explain-"

"No! The Floo is still open for the next hour. I'll go check on her myself."

Ron grabbed the Floo Powder and stepped into the fireplace before Harry could argue further with him. He had heard enough and yelling at his best friend wasn't going to solve anything.

He arrived at Professor McGonagall's office seconds later with a light feel of nausea that he couldn't really blame on the Floo trip.

The new Headmistress had agreed to leave the Floo open for them while she was out attending school business and Ron was glad no one was there to distract him.

The situation was dire and he felt frustrated that Harry had just dismissed their plan.

Something wasn't right and now he was regretting storming out from the office before checking for curses on his best friend.

What if Malfoy —or someone working for him— used some sort of dark spell to make Harry believe Hermione wasn't in danger? Now Ron was the one forgetting their basic Auror training: gathering and analyzing all data to strategize the best possible approach before going in the field.

He was basically going blind without any knowledge of what kind of attack to expect.

Before he could doubt himself he got out of the office and marched down the halls of his Alma Mater to find her other best friend who should be —according to her schedule— finishing lunch or on her way to DADA class.

The unsettling feeling in his stomach got worse with the anticipation of seeing Hermione after months of only exchanging letters.

He was a little bummed out when Hermione had informed them about her plan of going back to Hogwarts.

Ron had thought about following her but she'd said she needed time for herself after everything that had happened after the war and her not being able to fix her parents' memories.

He suspected their break-up also had a little to play in her decision and she hadn't denied it.

The truth is they weren't as affected as they thought they would be when they decided to stay friends.

Both of them had agreed that the romantic and physical part of their relationship felt off. And they also couldn't help but compare themselves to Harry and Ginny who seemed like the perfect couple.

Seriously, just looking at them was enough to make Ron and Hermione realize that they weren't a good fit.

Still, they loved each other deeply.

Harry, Hermione and Ron were soulmates with an unbreakable bond. The three of them had gone through all sorts of experiences together that will keep them in each other's lives forever.

Though a break up was nothing compared to some of the hardships they had gone through, it still was hard to find out a person you have such a strong connection to could never be the person you ended up with.

That's why he had gotten mad at Harry who, not only claimed he saw Hermione as a sister, but knew she also meant the word to Ron.

The whole situation was odd.

Hermione had first mentioned Malfoy in one of her letters —sent to both Harry and him to their office— back in September, telling them that Malfoy had apologized to her for everything.

This came as no surprise because Malfoy had sought them out and apologized to Harry and him when Hermione had been in Australia.

The ferret had asked them for "Granger's contact information" so he could write to her and seemed a little disappointed when they had explained she was out of the country attending personal business.

Even when it was Malfoy, Ron could see his intentions were good. It was evident he wasn't the same boy he had been at school so he didn't think anything bad of it.

Oh, how wrong he was. Malfoy was probably planning on taking advantage of Hermione all along.

His motive was unsure. Probably revenge. Probably hate against Muggleborns despite Malfoy's own claims that he had managed to unlearn his prejudice even before the war.

Who knows.

Hermione had written about Malfoy other times when she mentioned they were appointed partners in almost every class.

In her letters there were mentions of them studying in the library or patrolling the halls. They obviously had started a friendship.

But a relationship?

The last time Hermione had mentioned Malfoy in a letter she had dropped a Bombarda on Harry and him by telling them that over the Christmas holiday she and the ferret had started dating officially.

How long had they been dating unofficially Ron didn't want to know.

What he wanted to know was what kind of Dark Magic Malfoy had used on Hermione for her to "start to fall hard for Draco" as she had stated in her last letter.

The unsettling feeling in his stomach grew stronger.

He was already at the end of the hall where the DADA classroom was and decided to cast some protective spells on him so he wouldn't be caught off guard by anyone before he could find Hermione —or Malfoy, to question him.

He stood hidden behind the corner and it wasn't long before he saw Hermione approaching from the other end of the hall.

Ron was... surprised.

There were no other words to describe what he felt when he saw her after more than half a year.

She looked beautiful.

It wasn't her clothes or her hair. She was just wearing her Hogwarts uniform and her hair hadn't changed in years.

It was just her.

Something in the way she walked, the way she moved her hands gesturing and the light expression on her face.

She looked like herself.

Ron wasn't sure when was the last time he had seen Hermione look like herself. It was kind of weird if he was honest.

They all had been so broken after the war that he didn't think anything or anyone could go back to "normal" but she somehow had managed to regain that sparkle in her eye.

Such was his impression that he hadn't noticed she was walking beside Malfoy until they reached the door of the classroom.

It was still several minutes early before class and the door was closed so she just casually leaned her back on the opposite wall.

Malfoy closed the distance between them and Ron held his wand tighter ready to run towards them and hex the ferret.

Except he couldn't move.

It wasn't a spell or someone holding him up. The shock of what he was seeing made him freeze on his spot.

Malfoy got closer to Hermione until he could rest his arm next to her face on the wall but it was in a non-threatening way.

He noticed Malfoy's face and Ron was as stunned —if not more— as when seeing Hermione's face.

He was looking at her with pure and utter adoration. His eyes were soft and shining with something Ron couldn't find words to describe at the top of his head.

His lips were curved into a smile. Not a frown. Not a smirk, but a genuine smile.

Malfoy was looking at Hermione like she was the most precious creature in the universe and Ron couldn't have felt more awkward.

He knew that look. It was the one he saw on Harry when he was with Ginny and they thought no one was watching.

He saw Malfoy put two school bags on the floor and Ron realized the blond man had been carrying Hermione's bag for her.

With his now free arm, Malfoy reached Hermione's hair and tucked an unruly curl behind her ear, his hand now moving gently down her cheekbone and stopping at her chin.

He was being so delicate and the act was just so out of character with the Malfoy he knew that Ron's brain still couldn't function.

The look on Hermione's face was welcoming, willing, eager and equally charged with adoration.

He had never seen that look the whole time they were together.

Their break-up made sense now more than ever.

This was somehow worse than watching Harry and Ginny shamelessly making out in the living room at The Burrow.

Somehow he understood this was a more intimate moment.

And they were barely touching.

They were both immersed in their own world, living inside their little bubble, obliviously unaware of any other soul but theirs.

He saw Malfoy leaning down, eyes closed and Hermione tilting her head up and puckering her lips.

Ron shut his eyes feeling out of place for witnessing such a private moment and turned around towards Professor McGonagall's office.

His thoughts were absent from his head the whole way back to the Ministry.

When he stepped out of the fireplace he saw Harry working on some paperwork at his desk.

His eyes found Ron's and they both understood.

They didn't say anything. They didn't have to. They both knew now.

She was well.

Character bingo! You said one character, but I can't resist asking you the Doriath triad after all the thought we put on understanding them - pretty please? 🐍🥺

Of course! Shameless plug for my new fic for medusas-hairband, which sheds some light on the things I say here.

Funnily, celeborn doesn't fit in a lot of these squares, but he is no less blorbo for not winning a bingo ("phrases that only come out of my mouth on tumblr.hell" for 500, please)

Celeborn matches pound for pound galadriel's weird-girl energy and this is why they fuck so severely (they are made for each other; they give other people headaches). hence cryptid and fish love me.

I have a lot of thoughts about both Celeborn and Galadriel because they both have arcs about losing their homes, either by voluntary rejection or or unpreventable destruction. Galadriel rejects her home to cross the ice (but first the key element to it is destroyed), Celeborn rejects his home to follow galadriel east over the mountains (and then his home is destroyed), Galadriel rejects the call to return over the sea because celeborn doesn't want to leave middle earth (and also she wants her own empire, which is a whole other can of worms), celeborn doesn't sail for like, another 1000+ years after her and then gives up his third home in a series of homes to go live with galadriel again, lots and lots of history there. hence angst machine.

gender envy: don't we all love a man who graciously submits to being manhandled???

Galadriel:

feral, autism, and chihuaha: these go hand in hand. I am specifically thinking about her beef with feanor. for the record, he fills these boxes too, and this is why they don't get along. that's maybe a good thing, because if they did, they might have blown up Tirion Mark-Watney-The-Martian style. She wants power, she wants knowledge, she has goals and it only takes her like 6000 years to achieve them but she knows what she wants. This is central to falling into bed with Luthien - power appeals to her, and if she can't be Luthien then she's more than happy to let Luthien [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] her. I am not personally sold on the autism tm square just because i'm not autistic and i have some reservations about making that the new Funny Man du Jour neurotype, but I am neurodivergent and that was as close as I could get.

closely related: the "adult in the room" is only half filled in because she's only sometimes the adult in the room, even if she thinks she is. related to "beloved, derogatory" because this is absolutely the energy I had in elementary school. On second thoughts, I should have filled in the "relate to them too much" square. not me outing myself as anal retentive ffff.

Fish love me, women (and the men of the riddermark) fear me: see celeborn.

gender envy: nerwen?? hello? this is not supposed to make me think trans thoughts? Also: wanting to be Luthien is still very gender even when I'm writing them both as cis women because it's about Themes. I'm allowed a little leeway to make characters upset about the people they turn into icons and then can't mimic perfectly... :(

Luthien:

The comments about Weird Girls Celeborn and Galadriel apply to Luthien as well.

Ummm I know tolkien writes luthien as being like, angelic or w/e, but I do maintain that she had issues relating to her parents, the people around her, and herself. I know it's a staple of the romantic epic to have love at first sight, but I genuinely think she fell in love with beren because he didn't have any expectations or preconceived notions about her. She really was willing to do the equivalent of dropping out of med school to become a beach bum for this guy (the odds of his head game being fantastic are excellent, btw - the one thing I think it would be really fun(ny) to write is a spinoff of the doriath ot3 fic for their meeting and like, galadriel meeting beren. I don't think she would know what to do with him fr).

Luthien needs therapy because of her parents. Not that I think they were bad parents, but rather that at a point kids become adults and you have to stop sticking your nose in their business. Thingol really misses the mark when he uses his daughter as a political tool. I'm wrapping the best and worst parts of both my parents up in this buy, aren't I?

Luthien is also the only person to escape the tragedy of the silmarillion, which is why she's in the wrong genre.

[rahleeyah]

Do you think they'll be a love triangle next season? I just... I'm tired. There was Kathy, Dani, Angela, Flutura and Porter. Do we really need yet another love triangle? It's been nearly 25 years and I'm tired y'all.

I love Barba and his relationship with Olivia. I think he's the best character on SVU since Elliot left. I just don't see a romantic edge to their relationship. Really just a very deeply loving friendship. And I understood why he defended Wheatley even if I didn't like it. (What a great episode that was!)

He was trying to protect her and he doesn't know Elliot. He doesn't know that Elliot is actually a good person. He just sees this guy that hurt his friend very deeply. Sees the bull in a china shop and thinks that's all of who Elliot is. And doesn't want her hurt further. Anyway I'm getting off track.

I know his ILY could be interpreted in many was. It felt romantic coming from him but her response to him: Rafa, I miss you too. Did not feel romantic coming from her. So I am just confused. Like what are they trying to do here?

That whole episode felt like they were trying to compare Olivia's relationship with Elliot to the DV case. Like a long abusive marriage she just can't be free of. Elliot can be aggressive but like... It feels like the writers on 2.0 SVU don't know him at all. He's not an abusive person. He just had an entire arc of him struggling with thinking he was just like his dad and realizing that he wasn't.

And the talk of what Olivia deserves. She deserves happiness and I'm so ready for it! I want her to have it! But I couldn't help but think about what Kathy wrote in the letter. That Olivia deserves a kind and faithful man. Which made it really seem like this episode was saying that Barba was the guy that she deserves because he was trying to protect her and didn't ghost her like Elliot did.

I know WL is gone now so I'm hoping that however comes in doesn't have some weird grudge against Elliot and EO. One that never made any sense to me.

Anyway what do you think will happen? Do think that EO will eventually work it out? Or do you think they'll do this annoying yet another roadblock love triangle thing?

listen fam i got no expectations. zero idea what they're gonna do. i could sit here and tell you that my gut doesn't think there's any reason why we should expect another love triangle - bc there isn't, there isn't any reason - but right this minute there's no reason to expect anything. all we know is that the new seasons are coming, and they said it's gonna pick up where it left off. well ok this past season literally picked up at the end of the svu finale and we all know how that went so. we really don't know anything.

and because we don't know anything, i don't think there's any reason to worry. we have no reason to expect anything, so for now we can just relax, and breathe, and try to wrap our heads around last season.

i did not see rafa's confession as romantic, at all, and raul and m have both said they play it like brother and sister. there are many different types of love and i do think that rafa and liv had a deep bond that is a love in its own way, just not a romantic one. i didn't walk away from that feeling like we were supposed to believe that rafa has been carrying a torch for liv and is bummed she won't fuck him. like that was not the vibe i got at all, so i'm not worried about that. i think like you said he's worried about his friend and he's hurt, which from his perspective is understandable. but friends hurt friends all the time, hurt does not require romantic feelings.

i think the way the last episode cut was deliberately trying to draw that parallel, but crucially i do not think the parallel was there bc that's where the story is going. liv has been told she deserves happiness, and she has been told to try with elliot, and everyone around her is nudging her in his direction. i think cutting the episode that way was a means for certain people to make their opinions known, almost like a protest in the face of where the arc is going. they don't want eo to happen, but it's gonna, so they pout and stomp their feet but they can't stop the train from rolling down the tracks.

and they're wrong. nothing about elliot has ever been abusive towards liv and anyone who watched 1.0 can see that. it's an opinion held by some people out there, but it isn't backed up by canon, and i'm not worried about it.

and even with the way the episode was cut, it would take just a mindboggling amount of hoop jumping to think that it was intended to set up liv/rafa. rafa was not being presented as an alternative to elliot. he was a voice arguing against elliot, and trying to get liv to see what's right in front of her, but even rafa knows liv loves elliot, and there was N O T H I N G in liv's behavior to indicate she was contemplating a romantic entanglement with rafa, or casting one aside. she's still hurt that he doesn't understand why this matters to her, and that he didn't take her feelings into account before he acted on her behalf - which as she tells him, she did not ask him to do. and maybe rafa didn't ghost her but he sure as hell left her, and sure as hell hurt her; he is not blameless, he is not a martyr. he hasn't been faithful, or devoted.

elliot has, tho.

the new guy does not seem to be holding grudges, and he's got an upbeat vibe - unlike WL, who was fucking miserable all the damn time - and that bodes well.

let the antis on twitter tell themselves whatever they want, don't internalize their arguments.

remember that they literally wrote and recorded the benson-stabler love theme. you don't write a love theme for characters who aren't meant to be romantic interests for one another.

it's gonna be fine.

Days 292 - 326: We'll get 'em next time folks

Well, that was a short-lived stint of semi-frequent posting. About as short-lived as the stint of successful dating. I won't go into too much detail because truthfully there isn't really much to go into..but we went on two dates and the conversations were nice and she was really cool and I felt like we were vibing. ....But she had to cut the second date short early and I got the feeling that things weren't quite the same after that. I sensed she was losing interest, and that sense was compounded by being deferred to another time each time I asked her out on a third date after that.

We kept talking, not as much. I sent a message, shared a funny meme or Instagram post (as is a thing in modern dating I guess) and decided to cool it for a bit after not getting a response for a day or two. Last time I had asked her out she said to ask her again the following week, but I figured if she did actually want me to ask again she'd at least pop back in with a "hi" or something. As days went on and I didn't hear from her I decided to leave well enough alone.

Here's the fucked up thing though: the narrative that I created in my head was that she had lost interest early on, but kept deferring my attempts to set up a third date because she didn't want to just tell me she wasn't interested. Again, this may not be true and in fact, probably isn't, but that's the part that bums me out. Maybe the timing wasn't right. Maybe she just couldn't really commit the time and needed that leeway. Single mom, a couple of jobs, it's safe to assume she's got a lot on her plate. Maybe the few times that she said "ask me again next week", she was really hoping I just made the effort and asked her again next week. It's just that it kept happening. Still, I have this insane fear that I'm "the bad guy" in this scenario and that she might even think that I lost interest. But there doesn't need to be a bad guy. Sometimes things just...fizzle.

It shouldn't be that big of a deal, but I think I'm treating it like it is because this was the first actual prospect I had with dating in any capacity since separating with my ex...and not only was it a prospect, but this girl was super cool and nice and I felt like we had a lot in common. But there's the rub: the investment in something as fleeting as a couple of dates with a stranger from online. I get too invested too easily and I'm still not entirely sure why. Part of it is just me grasping at straws looking for some kind of validation that an actual romantic connection is still a possibility after my marriage dissolved. Part of it is this droning, nagging desire for intimacy (probably an unhealthily strong one if I'm being honest). And maybe that's all to signify that I'm not ready for this yet...but I felt ready...and I definitely feel like I WANT to be ready. I dunno.

There's a friend's wedding coming up next week, and a bunch of us who are going were talking/joking about the potential for myself and some of the other single folks in my friend group to meet some people there...truthfully the conversations ran the gamut from "let's find you a nice girl" to "you can TOTALLY hook up with someone at the wedding." I think I've spoken at length on here about how far away I am from being the "hook-up" guy....but even the possibility of that or just to meet someone new was intriguing. After this (what should be but isn't in my neurotic mind) "insignificant" dating stint, I don't feel so inclined to meet people at the wedding anymore. I'm kinda afraid of where it leads.

I'm back in this kinda shitty place of being afraid that things could end badly, and then I'm frozen in that fear. I'm doing my best to keep myself open to other possibilities but...it's hard. I definitely snoozed the dating apps after all this happened and am seriously contemplating doing so until I move out of my folks' house which realistically could be a couple of years (even though I'm gonna do my damndest to get out before the end of 2023). And that's a factor too, I keep thinking to myself: "how many more women will be as accepting of the fact that I'm in limbo right now? A 35 year old student living with mommy and daddy just waiting to finish up so he can TRY to get a job and move out."

Maybe that was a deciding factor in things petering out too, maybe this girl met someone who had their shit a bit more together. Or maybe I didn't make a move quick enough because I was scared to, because I don't know when the right time to do that is. All of these intrusive thoughts just were kicking around in my head for the past few days because there really wasn't any closure. The situation doesn't demand closure, though. Shitty as it is, this kinda thing happens all the time to all the people trying to do the dating thing these days. And I do know the "what a significant bummer" feeling will pass in time. I'll get there. And then I can figure out what's next I guess.

What else..? Oh, there's like one more month of school left. That should be good news, but these final assignments and studying for exams are kicking my ass (what an uplifting post this has been by the way). I think once I get outta this funk I'll be better off. I need to get back on a proper workout schedule, do something to distract myself from the holiday loneliness (also a factor, being uncoupled feels significantly worse around this time of year). My sleep hasn't been great, I've been in a bit of a fog because of the goings-on of the last few weeks, but I DO feel myself finally clawing out of it. As always, seeing friends does help. Spent some time with a few of my favourite people for a close friends' birthday, then went and played video games with the guys. That's the shit that's keeping me afloat man. I'm grateful for that.

The year is almost over. I'm reminding myself now again that this was a journal meant to document my progress since the separation and the BIG SHIFT (career, education, living situation, etc.). PROGRESS is the operative word here. It's too late in the game for such a huge bummer. But hey, bummers fucking happen. But I'll be damned if it's how I'm gonna end my year. I'll be done school soon. I'll be one step closer to getting the fuck outta here and back into some form of much-needed independence. Juuuust one step at a time. I picture a couple of sports commentators looking in on my progress right now in the grand old game that is this weird fucking life of mine.

"Ya know Johnny, we were hoping for them to make a big push this year but there have been some setbacks that have prevented 'em from scoring as big as we predicted they would early in the season." "That's right Jim, but as we've seen in the late game here, there have been some big shifts in the team dynamic this year that they've had to adjust to, and they're still putting up decent numbers despite that. Ya know, this is a rebuilding year for the team and it looks like they're gonna hit the 2023 season strong and they'll definitely be one to look out for come playoff time."

Hear that folks? I'm one to look out for.

I'm not dead yet. Somehow.

Look the fuck out.

Journaling time

Today i had a bad day. Let's call it what it is.

Basically, i realized once more that my roomates don't really like me. As a friend.

Maybe i deserve it for being this kind of weird freak that is. Too out of touch with society i guess. Dunno how to explain. I'm just closed off i guess, even if i try to be as friendly as i can.

Anyway. I realized that my newer group of office friends do not like me either. As a friend.

I am. But a mere obstacle in their way of weird romantic triangles i hadn't even noticed like 2 months in. For some reason this bummed me out so much.

Like. I guess being an annoyance to every single group of friends is my greatest fear so, u can see how this affected me, realizing that all of my irl friends in the office don't really Like me as a person or a friend.

And i wanted to cry so much.

Bcus of the BPD of course, because genuinely the problem is so small.

People exclude me from their fun gossip, and i shouldn't care but i do. And it makes me realize people must consider me a bore and an annoying shit for them to exclude me.

And it hurt me.

It hurt me.

I went to buy boba after work. I thought it would make me a little happier. I bought a book, the metamorphosis by kafta, bcus for some reason i think only he could understand my deep sadness.

These were impulse purchases.

I think everyone hates me.

And i hate it.

I have no one to share this anguish with because i made sure to cultivate zero friendships that would allow me to vent.

Caught u in a lie. Our friend, we have our friend, which we have vented to several times.

But she doesn't count right now. We were supposed to have a call today but she cancelled on me and now. Well ngl it's not her fault, but it made me feel even more abandoned today. Unfortunate timing i guess.

Anyway. I want to cry but that makes me so angry.

I hate MY BPD!!!!! I DONT WANT THESE BIG EMOTIONS ANYMORE!!!!!!!! I DONT WANT THEM!!!!!! I SHOULD BE NORMAL!!!! I SHOULD BE MORE NORMAL!!!!!!

I can't reach out to anyone now. I made sure to cultivate that kind of friendships. Were i believe I'm a nuisance and never share these kind of things, so now if i were to bring it up, they'd think im a pathetic weirdo.

And also. I don't want to be hated even more. At least if i make myself as palatable as possible, then. Then people might still like this sweet version of me that is trying hard not to rip itself to shreds.

But I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired.

Of feeling like my friends hate me. Of treating me like a nuisance. Even though I've tried to be nice and happy and encouraging, in the end none of that mattered because they still ended up finding me like a stupid annoyance they all wanted to exclude.

Why even talk to snaily when they're a boring fuck.

I'm crying now!!!!! Congrats dumb fuck!!!!! You talked to yourself with such mean intent that you cried!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck.

I was doing better. I was doing better. I was being nicer.

If the world hates me so what.

So what.

So what. I don't need anyone else.

I don't need anyone, I've made sure of that. I am alone in the world and that's how it'll always be.

I'm crying.

I hate my bpd.

I hate these emotions i can't fucking control.

Is that so bad? To want to be included? To want love and attention and people to worship me?

It's bad.

Why would you want people to worship you.

Because at least I'd know they care for me in some way.

The dating isn't going well either.

The cute girl I'm supposed to go out with this weekend hates me too.

She doesn't ask how my day goes. She just talks about herself all the time. Even though I'm always trying to coax conversation out of her, she never actually asks me about me. She doesn't care. Why would she? She doesn't know me. I'm a nuisance. I hate myself.

I'm so lonely. I'm so lonely. I'm so lonely.

I wish i could just. Vent. To people.

I realized that's what i want. To vent to a person and have them console me in real time.

But u know what? If i allowed that to happen, then I'd just vent all the time.

All the time.

I'd unpack my misery onto people. I would force them to console me all the time. Because I've been starved of comfort for so long, I'd become addicted to the attention.

I know.

It would happen.

Because history repeats itself for a dumbfuck with bpd that is so love starved both then and now.

But that would destroy any healthy relationships I've cultivated.

I can't let that happen. Not again. That's why I've closed myself.

I am too much.

I'll always be too much for anyone.

Because i have bpd. And im broken and starved. So starved.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're aware of the problem. That's good.

It's okay. It's okay okay. You just had a bad day.

It happens. It happens. Being cruel will only hurt us. You.

Nothing fills the void. Nothing.

I know. I know. It hurts. I'm sorry about that. But we can manage this. We always find a way to manage this, yes?

I read this and i cry even more.

Then don't read back what you already wrote.

Just. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

This is the part where you're sweet to me.

That's right.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I'm the one that loves you the most in the world. You're my most special beloved in this whole entire universe. Why do you think I'm so obsessed with you?

Because i adore everything you do, my darling, my dearest, my sweetest little bee.

Pfft. That sounds so stupid.

It made you smile, did it not?

Dummy. Dummy. Dummy.

Breathe. It's okay, breathe.

I'm still sad, you know? Yes, yes. It's understandable. Today was a lot. A lot happening.

Breathe.

I'll walk you through this okay?

You'll go to the bathroom, then wash your face, then come back. Clear mind okay? Okay. Okay.

I forgot to wash my face. I was thinking too much.

It's okay, it happens. Do you feel a little better at least?

A little, just a little.

Enough for me.

Okay, the next step is watch something. Turn off your brain for the day. I know u wanted to work on that animatic, and u might still have time for that later, but, pls rest.

Watch a series, not just a yt video. A series will force u to put attention.

Also sorry, it can't be moon knight. It's not time yet.

Watch something that makes you laugh! A comedy so you can forget your sadness of the day! That's what the doctor ordered!

Okay?

Okay. Sounds like a plan at least. I'm a bit sleepy though.

You can watch while in bed. Maybe treat yourself to something more lemony if you want, I'm not the boss of you.

I'd like the comedy more though. To turn off my brain and pass out. Pass out.

I hope i dream about oscar isaac again. But this time, hopefully, i get to talk to him more.

Dream bigger!!!! You can do anything in a dream!!!

Yeah!!!!!! Fuck my shyness that prevails even in dreams!!!!! I'm gonna fuck that old man!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG DREAMS BABEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE U SNAILY!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO GODDAMN MUCH!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! I LOVE YOU MY BELOVED, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! I'M GLAD I COULD MAKE U SMILE A LITTLE!!!!!!!!! I LOVE UR SMILE!!!!!!!!!

It means the world to me!!!!!!

I love you!!! My dearest!!! My beloved!!!! My darling!!!! The Prettiest Boy in the world!!!!!! My silliest little kitty!!!!!!!!!

Pfft!!!! Dummy!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!

Those heavy wen qing inserts wtf. So cql writers (yang xia) wanted a free already built sect society, politics and it's art and culture that mxtx spent months forming and mending and than insert their own characters on it. Lol you don't get it they didn't want to adapt mdzs they wanted to adapt the politics, economy, history and culture and the sect society of mdzs universe. Like you know "wangxian harry potter au", cql team wanted to write a mdzs au i can't breath. Make your writers come up with their alternate universe instead of riding on a already developed one in the name of "adaption". Novel wq is empowering medical genius who like wwx kept her friendship with wwx and him helping her people before herself and her brother, the same brother she could have done anything for. She doesn't need a love interest to be a memorable character SHE IS ALREADY ICONIC. Did these people read mdzs before making the live action at all? Did any of them read the fucking book before holding auditions? Or mfs brought mxtx to the auditions and made her do the choosing?

CQL is a mess that will anger me if I think to much and don't just go in to enjoy the corn and Wang Yibo's prettiness. I do honesty think the way they watered down Wen Qing in the original scripting was such as huge disservice since she did not need a romance. Her biggest concern and most emotionally impactful relationship was always for her brother.

I dunno, maybe it's because I myself have such a soft spot for good sibling dynamics, but her love for her brother was so intrinsically tied to her, it is just laughable to think she would ever choose Wei Wuxian romantically over him or even abandon her BROTHER, for years, to run of to bum fuck nowhere without him if there was even a slim chance to still save him. It is why she begged Wei Wuxian to do what he could to keep Wen Ning alive in some form.

And somehow the first thought for her would be to someday reunite with Wei Wuxian over her brother first??? Uhhh... no I don't think so please.

#cql negativity #those early scripts give me hives #so does CQL as a whole but I ignore that lol #just pay attention to how pretty wang yibo is I tell myself...

Hey, it's Secret Santa again! Don't worry about the vagueness, I do have a few ideas already and I'm trying to narrow them down and cater to your tastes a bit, which is why I'm back again so soon. So what are your personal favorite tropes/headcanons/or anything else you like to see in fics? I'll see if I can work some of them in. Have a great day

Hoo boy. oh boy oh boy oh boy.

Okay first off, I’m SUPER EXCITED that i got another rcss message so soon- i was honestly only expecting one per week HAHAHAHA (so thank you, eeeee

secondly, i feel like my favorite tropes and headcanons are either too long or too specific, soooo i’m sorry in advance because this is gonna look like a fucking novel (with some added self-advertising) so HERE GOES NOTHING (under the cut because i know for a fact i’mma be extra af here) :

Relationship Dynamic Tropes:

They’re honest with each other. (though if there’s a story about the consequences of not being honest, and they work through it together, that totally qualifies)

They love being together, but can function just fine on their own, so their status as “significant other” is not mistaken for co-dependency

They give the other person a chance to shine first before offering help

They’re basically each other’s best friend. (friends first, lovers later, basically)

They’re such a good team that other people look at them and think, “damn, #RelationshipGoals”

Sometimes they have rough patches but they work together to get over them

each has a skill they bring to the table to get a mission done with flying colors (#teamwork) (also considered a plot trope)

Platonic Tropes:

Banter. Seriously. Give me ALL THE BANTER. I list this as a platonic trope because tbh it’s easily applied to any kind of good relationship, not necessarily a romantic one.

Jyn and K2 actually get along in their own way. I get really bummed out when i read fics in which K2 is antagonistic towards Jyn 102% of the time, either because he just “doesn’t like her”, or because he thinks she’s a threat to his dynamic with Cassian. I’m relatively certain cassian would not want his friendship if that were the case, on top of the fact that such a depiction, I think, wholly goes against K2′s line of “Your behavior, Jyn Erso, is continually unexpected.”

They give each other credit for something, and aren’t afraid to speak up if they feel the other is being overlooked (”speak up” here meaning “take action to rectify it”)

Romantic Tropes (aka: i go heart-eyes when they go heart-eyes) :

Competency kink 5ever

Small/subtle, but impactful gestures

They save PDA for when they’re alone (see also: this headcanon i wrote about, or Chapter 1 of Gestures)

They have a method of communication only they can understand because they love and trust each other that much (whether for regular communication or if it’s their way of declaring their love for one another)

^ On a related note: When one uses certain words, or uses more words than usual, to convey something, and the other hears it and KNOWS they mean serious business because this almost never happens and it just makes the other person burst with emotion on the inside (i sort of touched on this with the ending for Enough, if you need an example, but it’s E-rated, so just a heads up)

Pet names as banter (also a platonic trope, because i don’t actually like pet names or nicknames for rebelcaptain that much)

Plot Tropes:

Sometimes they do stupid/complicated things because they wanted to do a really nice and special thing for the other person and shit sorta just hit the fan

“Someone did a thing and oh my god was that on accident or not? Am i reading it wrong or not? Nah, maybe I’m reading it wrong, i’mma just pretend that didn’t mean anything more even though it’s been 12 hours and i’m still thinking about it”

They’re sorta competitive with each other/it’s a game of cat and mouse and “damn they’re really good at this, i’m in love”

pre-relationship “missed meetings” (i don’t know if this is even the right word for it in English, but the japanese word for it is すれ違い, so uh....if you speak other languages, give that one a shot through google translate and hopefully you’ll get what i mean LOL)

They’ve been partners at work/growing up for so long and “oh shit i’m suddenly realizing i have FEELINGS for them”

One notices something about the other that they kinda overlooked/never noticed/never got to see, and they kinda fall in love with the person all over again because of it

Anything that demonstrates an overarching theme about humanity, the importance of something, etc. Stories with messages are ALWAYS a yes for me

That...should be more than enough. Sorry for the novel LMAOOOO

Obvs you don’t have to include ANY of it. Like i said, sell me on the story and characterization and i’m set. I’m always open to “gaining” a new favorite trope or being shown an angle of something that I’ve underappreciated in the past. Since I already outlined my “nopes” when I sent in the application for the Network, i’m sure you’ll do fine. I just have No Chill™
