azul ashengrotto
full on yelps lmao
he's visibly shaking as he pushes you away with a gaping mouth that doesn't know whether to stay closed or question what the hell just happened.
if anything his glasses would've broken from the pink shade of his face and the steam out of his ears. but alas.. that is simply not possible realistically.
he's prolly like: what does this mean?! azuls tearing out his hair and grinding his teeth in his mind aggressively because let's face it; what does it mean? why on earth would you.. kiss him for no reason at all?!
you slump. "sorry, uhm,, let's just forget about this yeah?" you sigh. taking in his petrified face and shaking limbs as a sign of shock, and fear. you slap yourself in the face. stupid (name)
but azul peels off the hands on your face and displays a face that is a mixture of embarrassment and shyness. he just pulled out the courage out of his ass after seeing you upset.
and the last thing I want is you thinking that it is a mistake. he thinks. technically it is a mistake but... you get the point.
he doesn't know how to comfort you and just stands there like ๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ
azul will start crying if you actually think it's a mistake.
jade leech
jade rn: ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
you sure do know how to catch him off guard with the element of suprise. usually something as trivial as romance and,, kissing would have him tailing it out the room but he can say that was surprisingly pleasing.
pretends nothing happened to mess with you, literally enjoys your nervous glancing and distraught face.
๐Ÿšฉ
but eventually tells you to warn him as you short circuit at the word 'next time' by the near end of his sentence. he really likes to mess with you.
joked aside he really does see whatever obsession ordinary humans have with the physical touch thing.. he can even say he feels a little greedy to keep you to himself.. you know maybe drag you toโ€”
๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ
oh well. to the unfortunate of others he seems way too happy. he's practically chasing everyone off with an eery smile behind you even if they so tried to converse with you.
here you got a happy, big, tall, scary, protective eel man who's obsessed in love.
floyd leech
it's insane how casual his response is.
and a little concerning to be honest, it feels like you guys don't even need a label to be doing whatever together. and it felt like that from the start ๐Ÿ‘
he just smiles really wide, showing off his sharp teeth, picks you up and hugs you in the air with a joyous face.
which would have been cute if he didn't practically demand you for more!! if you had a hundred madol for every time floyd had started asking you for a kiss after the first one you'd be rich.
your lips actually feel numb and at some point you had started hiding because you are going to go insane if he asks for another. floyd is around the corner? you're shoving yourself into deuce's locker as you leave your poor friend to deal with floyd's; "have you seen shrimpy?"
you feel bad, of course. hiding from your practically boyfriend with no label but he really doesn't give you a break.
ahem ๐Ÿšฉ hearing "shrimpyy!!~" is like the omen for a tiring day.
we have a happy, big, tall, scary, protective eel man who's even more obsessed in love.
prank successfully failed??

summary: you find out the reason why Jeff cheated, you and Jackie start to spend more time together and a familiar face makes a return...
warning/s: mentions of cheating.
author's note: hereโ€™s part 3! glad youโ€™re all enjoying this one and sorry itโ€™s posted a bit late, iโ€™ve been fasting so time has been a whirlwind lately lmao
Tumblr media
After reconciling with Jackie, our relationship returned to normal, or at least as normal as it could be now that she wasn't dating my brother.
Whenever we saw each other around, she'd smile or greet me, and I her. We'd make small talk every now and then, and I accepted that this was how it would be from now on. There was no need for her to make an effort with me anymore, as sad as that was.
One day after school, I was practicing with the Music teacher and school orchestra for the school play that was happening next month. It was relatively new, but I was enjoying it. Afterwards, as I was walking to my car, I noticed the Yellowjackets leaving the field and heading in the same direction. That was where I saw Jackie, chatting with Taissa but waving at me when she saw me. By chance, we fell into step with one another.
"Hey," I said with a smile, before glancing at Taissa. "Hey, Tai, how are you?"
"Good, just tired from practice," she said, returning my smile. "You?"
"Band rehearsal," I answered, motioning to the guitar case on my back. "Tired too."
She snickered. "Nice." Then she looked to Jackie and added, "Wanna give me your bag and I'll meet you at my car?"
"Thanks, Tai," Jackie said to her, before she jogged off to the parking lot to throw their bags in. Her attention returned to me as she said, "So, band rehearsal?"
"It's for the school play," I clarified.
"You? Acting?" she teased, and I rolled my eyes playfully.
"Hilarious," I said, shooting her a look. "I'm in the orchestra."
"Ah, that makes more sense," she played along. "Though seeing you up on stage in some Shakespearean garb would've been quite the sight."
"You wish," I mumbled, making her laugh. "So, how was practice?"
She shrugged. "Not bad."
But judging by the sideways glance she gave to Shauna, who was walking to her car also, I knew things weren't great.
"Everything still weird?" I asked sympathetically.
Jackie sighed, pushing her hair behind her ear. "Yeah. How could it not be? I lost my best friend and boyfriend in one fell swoop." I frowned, unsure what to say to make her feel better, but she shook her head and tried to change the subject. "It doesn't matter anyway."
"It does," I said softly.
"It's just awkward at practice now," she admitted. "And it's not supposed to be. I'm the captain and I can't even look Shauna in the eye. I'm still upset, but what can I do? I have to get over it for the team."
If Jeff hadn't gone about this the way he did, none of this would be happening. Would he have done something different if he knew the repercussions of his actions?
"I'm sorry," I said, smiling sadly. "I wish I could help somehow."
She relaxed her shoulders and gave me a small smile. "You are."
I disagreed, but she was stubborn, so I didn't comment.
"Anyway, I'm tired from practice now, but we haven't had a proper catch up since...," she started, but paused, unsure how to mention the cheating thing. "Yeah. Do you want to come 'round to mine tomorrow?"
My eyebrows raised, not expecting her to say that. And as much as I wanted to accept, I couldn't tomorrow.
"Not to sound like a nerd, but I have homework," I said with a slight chuckle.
"Oh, I can help," she offered, before smiling cockily. "I've done it all before, remember?" I laughed at her eagerness, and her amusement was replaced with sincerity as she continued, "Just because Jeff isn't in my life now, doesn't mean you don't have to be. I'm still here for you, y'know."
Hearing her say this warmed my heart and put any doubts I had about our relationship to rest. Maybe I wasn't just Jeff's little sister after all.
"I know," I confirmed. "I'm happy to stop by tomorrow. Thanks, Jackie."
She flashed me a smile, and I tried not to get distracted by how beautiful she was. Jeff was pretty stupid, wasn't he?
โ€”
As time went on between Jackie and I, it felt like we actually became friends and not just circumstantial acquaintances. I tried my best to be there for her, both because I wanted to be and also because it felt right after my brother was the reason for her hurt. She never visited my place because Jeff lived there and she didn't want to see him, so I'd stop by hers if we hung out outside of school.
She never spoke more on the Shauna/Jeff situation, even when I knew she hadn't properly talked to either of them since finding out. Despite it all, I knew she missed Shauna, her best friend, but it was all still fresh and I just guessed she was bottling it away for now. I wondered how long she'd last like that โ€“ maybe forever โ€“ until she finally broke.
A few weeks later, a month after they'd broken up, I was watching a Yellowjackets game with Jeff at school. As always, they'd dominated the game with a 3-0 advantage and the crowd were on the pitch celebrating in no time. My plan was to congratulate Jackie, glad she'd worked on whatever problems had been developing in practice, when I noticed Jeff had wandered off in a different direction. I didn't really pay him much attention as I scanned the pitch for Jackie.
"Jackie!" I called over the noise of the crowd when I spotted her.
She wasn't looking at me, her expression dropping as she looked right past me. I followed her gaze, realising she was staring at Jeff who was hugging Shauna. I raised my brows with surprise, not realising they'd made it official now, and then he kissed her and she let him and I didn't know what to think. It felt inappropriate considering everything, but they didn't seem to care. Maybe they'd deemed a month long enough before going public.
I looked back to Jackie, whose jaw was clenched as she glared at them, and then before I could go to her, she stormed off angrily. I cursed inwardly, glancing at Jeff and Shauna once more โ€“ they hadn't noticed, too enamoured by one another.
Following after Jackie, I ran off the pitch and saw a streak of blonde heading back into the school. Worried, I chased after her, catching sight of her running down the hall.
"Jackie, wait up!" I called after her, breathless. Geez, was I really this unfit?
She kept running, going to the locker room and slamming the door behind her. I sighed, letting myself in, and she spun around at my entry. Tears were streaming down her face and she hastily attempted to wipe them away, making my chest hurt.
"What is it?" she asked calmly, though her hands were shaking.
I frowned. "I didn't know he was... seeing her now."
Feigning indifference, she said, "What does it matter? Obviously it was going to happen. They didn't fucking cheat for nothing, right?"
"Not so soon though."
She smiled bitterly, squeezing her hand into a fist as she tried to collect herself. But the tears were welling in her eyes again, and then she suddenly punched the locker angrily.
"Fuck him!" she yelled, startling me, before hitting the locker again. "Why does he get to be happy when I'm not?! How is that fair when he did the bad thing?!"
I let her calm down, figuring she needed to get her frustration out somehow, and then she frowned to herself, lips trembling.
"It's not," I agreed. "You're right."
She hugged herself, tears rolling down her cheeks silently. "If I'd just slept with him, if I hadn't waited, maybe he'd...," she began to mumble to herself, but stopped.
I was both grossed out and furious when I heard this. I'd never known the reason for their breakups, but this wasn't what I'd expected. And now Jeff had got what he wanted whilst Jackie was left to question everything. God, if I wasn't annoyed at him before, I definitely was now.
"No," I told her, irritated, but at my idiot brother. "That's not the right way to think. What he did was horrible. Whether or not that was the reason, he shouldn't have cheated. He's a coward, Jackie, and you shouldn't be here upset thinking about what ifs."
She shook her head, voice stuck in her throat, and then looked at me with glistening eyes. It broke my heart, seeing a usually confident and sure-of-herself girl broken at the hands of some guy.
"Oh, Jackie," I said sympathetically, stepping forward to hug her.
She fell into my arms, hiding her head in my shoulder and sniffling quietly. I didn't let go, one arm around her as the other rubbed circles on her back.
"You deserved better than him anyway," I told her quietly, lips moving against her hair. "I love him, he's my brother, but it wasn't right what he did."
She didn't reply, but she didn't make a move to leave either, so we stayed like that until I led her to the bench between the lockers, still entwined. Her sniffling lessened and the wet spot on my shoulder grew cold when she finally pulled back; her hand found mine and she didn't let go.
"Thank you," her voice came out as an unintentional whisper, making her clear her throat. "Things have just been so hard. Shauna was my person, and I'm justโ€“ I'm so hurt by her actions."
"I can imagine," I said, squeezing her hand gently. After a pause, eyes taking in her red, swollen ones with concern, I asked, "D'you think you'd ever forgive her?"
She exhaled shakily. "I don't know."
I nodded, waiting for her to take a breath. She let go of my hand finally, wiping away the remaining tears on her face before growing embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to cry on you," she apologised. "You definitely didn't sign up for this."
"It's alright," I assured her. "I'm just worried about you."
She looked down at her hands, knuckles red from punching the locker. "All that talk about me being there for you and, really, it was me who needed you."
I cracked a small smile in an attempt to lighten the mood. "Well, the extent of your support was tutoring me in French, and you're shit at that. Pas bon du tout (not good at all)."
She let out a laugh, and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Making her laugh after she'd just cried, admiring the way her eyes glistened with tears but in a way that made them sparkle because of her momentary happiness... I'd never seen anything like it.
"I'm gonna pretend I understood that," she spoke with a raspy voice, before hugging me once more.
"C'mon," I encouraged, standing up and pulling her with me. "This isn't how you should be celebrating your victory. You're the team captain for crying out loud!" She smiled, and I continued, "Don't you usually go to those after parties?"
She pushed her fringe from her eyes. "I'm not really in the mood. Shauna and Jeff will probably be there...โ€
"Okay, how about celebrating with the girls?" I asked, not wanting to upset her so quickly.
Judging from her expression, I knew they'd be at the party too, so that was out. I pursed my lips, trying to think of a way to cheer her up, and then decided to just do it myself.
"Right, get ready and then meet me outside," I instructed.
"What?"
I was already heading to the door as I answered, "I'm taking you out. My treat."
She tilted her head, giving me a knowing look. "You don't have to do that."
I shrugged. "I want to."
She sighed deeply, smile curving on her lips gratefully.
As promised, I took Jackie out that evening, treating her to some ice cream at the fancy parlour in town and buying her whatever she liked. We talked about everything and anything, and I hoped that, for at least a moment, she could forget all about Jeff and Shauna.
โ€”
It took a while after Jeff and Shauna had gone public with their relationship for Jackie to finally accept it and try to move on. Personally, I don't think I could have had it in me to be the bigger person, but when Jackie came to me telling me she wanted to clear the air with them, I knew she'd made up her mind.
Ultimately, it was her choice and I was happy that she finally felt like she was in a place where she could move on. Whatever she'd said to them had done wonders for her, as she no longer avoided my house anymore when she wanted to hang out, and I sometimes saw her talking to Shauna without staring daggers into the side of her head. It was progress I never thought I'd see.
Shortly after that, Shauna brought it upon herself to try and fix things with me. We'd never talked much before, but since she was Jeff's new girlfriend, she must have felt she needed to make things right. That was one awkward conversation, and I was still upset at her for how she'd handled the situation, but I knew that if Jackie could forgive her, then so could I.
So, that was how everything had settled into a new 'normal'. My friendship with Jackie had grown stronger and I was on somewhat good terms with my brother and Shauna, and I guess that was all I could need right now. Of course, that didn't change the fact that I still had a massive crush on Jackie, and anytime she'd show any interest in me, I grew flustered.
Take this one time when she was sat in the school theatre, waiting for me to finish up practice for the school play after school. It was in two weeks and we were doing final run-throughs with the music and acting together. Jackie was only here because we had plans to grab food afterwards, since she'd finished soccer practice today too.
After what felt like forever, the Drama teacher finally dismissed us all and I joined Jackie by the exit.
"That was actually pretty good," she said when she saw me, nodding to the stage where the other students were finishing up.
"It's not a bad play," I said with a shrug, before shouldering my guitar case. "You planning to get tickets?"
At this, she looked to me with a smirk. "Well, of course. Gotta support you, right?"
She was teasing me and I began to grow warm at the way she was staring at me, and then she was grinning at my reaction and I avoided her stare. Times like these were when I really wished I could get over her.
โ€”
I was cleaning out my bedroom, per my mum's request as she wanted to do a spring clean even though it was the middle of the summer, when I heard Jeff calling me from his room.
"Coming!" I called back, before dropping what I was doing to see what he wanted.
If my room was a tip, his was much worse. But when he saw me, he had a neatly collated box of items in hand, holding it out to me.
"What's this?" I asked, accepting the box that he practically thrust in my arms. When I looked inside, I saw some girly items that definitely weren't his.
"They're Jackie's," he answered awkwardly. "It's just some stuff she left behind that I never got around to returning. I'd go, but I think it might be better if you do."
"Right," I breathed out, before nodding. "I'll sort it."
He offered me a small smile. "Thanks, Y/N."
I gave Jackie's house number a call, ending up in a polite conversation with her mother who loved to talk my ear off and, of course, ask about Jeff who she still wasn't letting go of. After I finally got to the point of my call, she encouraged me to stop by so I thanked her and made my way over to the Taylor residence, only planning to make a quick trip.
When I rang their doorbell however, nobody answered. I rang it another time and even knocked a few times, but there was nothing. And then I fell silent as I heard a faint beat playing from somewhere. Following the sound of the music, I found myself walking around to the garden, realising there was a pool party going on. The Yellowjackets were all here from what I could see, some lying on sun beds whilst others played in the pool. Music was blaring from some speakers and they all seemed to be having the time of their life in the sun.
"Y/N, hey!" I heard Jackie, and searched the space to find her in the pool.
My mouth went dry when I saw her climbing out, only in her two-piece swimwear. As she approached me with a smile, I was certain I'd forgotten how to breathe, unsure where to look because it all seemed inappropriate. Her hair was wet, water droplets rolling down her tanned skin, and I wouldn't have been surprised if I had a heart attack from how hot she looked there and then.
"My mum said you were stopping by," she said, wiping her face with the back of her hand.
I looked at her eyes and only her eyes, hoping my face wasn't as hot as the sun felt right now. "Yeah, I rang the doorbell but nobody answered."
"My bad, sorry," she said with a laugh. "I'm having a team pool party. Team building and all that. The music must have been too loud."
"It's all good," I said quickly. "Erm, I've got some of your things. You left it at ours when you were... yeah."
At the implication of Jeff, her smile faded naturally. Glancing at the box, she nodded gratefully.
"You alright to follow me?" she asked, grabbing her towel from the chair.
"Sure."
As she led the way, some of the girls said their hellos when I walked past, and then Jackie led me through her mansion of a home before settling in the kitchen.
"You can just leave it on the table over there," she said, nodding to the dining table whilst drying herself with her towel.
All I could do was nod as I went to set it down, and then she was suddenly behind me, the scent of chlorine and suncream washing over me.
"I was wondering where that necklace was," she said with amusement, looking over my shoulder and down at the necklace at the top of the box.
I shivered at how close she was, acutely aware of her minimal clothing and trying so hard not to let my eyes wander.
"You seem nervous, are you okay?" she asked, before walking to the fridge. "You want a drink?"
I swallowed hard, shaking my head. "No, sorry, I've gotta go finish cleaning the house with my mum. It's just hot out."
She smirked, clearly aware of the effect she was having on me, but I was too flustered to comment on it.
"That's too bad," she said with a pout. "You can stay if you want."
I waved a hand dismissively. "Oh, it's a team thing. I'll be okay."
She chuckled, eyeing me curiously, probably noticing the way I couldn't even meet her gaze anymore. "C'mon. I'll walk you out."
I followed her as she led me back into the garden, where the others were still having the time of their life. Jackie stopped and flashed me another picture perfect smile.
"Have fun cleaning," she said, patting my shoulder. "Maybe next time, yeah?"
I nodded, suddenly finding the space behind her head very interesting. She hugged me, making me freeze at the contact of both her body and the water on my clothes. She had to be doing this on purpose, surely.
"See you later," she said sweetly, eyelashes fluttering.
I nodded, quickly backing up, and stupidly almost slipping into the pool as I grew distracted by her yet again.
She laughed, warning, "Be careful!"
I smiled awkwardly, before taking extra care to leave without making even more of a fool of myself. Could you blame me? The last thing I needed right now was to be in close proximity of a half dressed Jackie Taylor.
โ€”
Jackie Taylor was on everyone's radar, even when she was taken by Jeff, so I should have expected someone to make their move once enough time had passed since their breakup. Still, knowing it would happen didn't make it any easier to witness.
There was a fair in the park and the band and I had secured a gig there, playing a few sets during the evening. We played some covers and a few originals, the first we'd ever performed that I'd written. It was surreal, but everybody seemed to like it which made the smile permanent on my face the whole time.
After our first set, we all went offstage to take a quick break, and that was when Jackie found me. It was the first I'd seen her all evening, since she'd arrived with her friends and I was busy up until now.
"Y/N, you were amazing up there!" she complimented as soon as she saw me, pulling me in for a hug.
"Thanks, Jackie," I said appreciatively, returning her hug. "How long have you been here?"
"Your whole set," she said with a smile. "And would you look at that โ€“ I finally heard some original songs."
My cheeks grew warm as she shot me a teasing smile.
"I don't suppose you'll tell me who they're about?" she asked innocently, giving me her best puppy dog eyes.
"You supposed correctly," I retorted with a knowing look, making her curse quietly with defeat. I laughed and added, "Look, I appreciate your curiosity, but maybe they're just songs, d'you ever consider that?"
She eyed me suspiciously, smile ever present. "I guess... but I've got my eye on you, Y/N."
I rolled my eyes lightheartedly, hoping she couldn't hear my heart racing in my chest. Green-brown eyes met mine, sparkling with mischief, and I forced myself to endure, not wanting to raise suspicion. Hopefully she'd never find out they were all about her.
After chatting with her on my break for a little longer, I rejoined the band onstage and performed a few more songs. It was easier to spot Jackie in the crowd now that I knew where I was looking, and she looked so cute as she stood there with her friends, dancing along to the music. It was almost a dream, and then it wasn't. Because as I was performing, I noticed some guy talking to her, the flirting very obvious even from where I was stood.
I tried to stay focused, purposely avoiding looking in her direction, but I couldn't help myself. My eyes would drift back over to her, and that damn guy was still there, trying his luck as she entertained it for a bit. I knew I never had a chance with her, but seeing the girl you liked chatting to another guy was always a kick in the teeth, especially when it meant she wasn't paying you any attention anymore.
After a few more songs, the band and I called it a night and wanted to enjoy the fair together. Jackie was still being talked to by that guy, so I attempted to ignore it and focused on having a nice night out with my friends.
After playing a few carnival games and going on some rides, Jackie found me again, standing with my friends as Y/BF/N bought some ice cream for herself.
"Hey, guys, nice performance tonight," Jackie complimented the others, who chorused their gratitude. She added, "You mind if I steal Y/N away for a bit?"
"Oh, no, go for it!" Tommy insisted with a grin, tugging the others away before I could protest.
I sighed as Jackie flashed me an enthusiastic smile. "I've been dying to go on the bumper cars. Wanna come?"
"I, er, I'm not really in the mood," I said, possibly being a little petty but I couldn't help it, I was just sad.
"Oh, c'mon, it'll be fun!" she exclaimed, shaking my arm. "You're not seriously gonna leave me hanging, are you?"
I chewed on my lip as she watched me hopefully, and it only made me realise how stupid I was being. She couldn't help it if a guy wanted to hang out with her, and I definitely had no right to be jealous. I'd watched her be my brother's girlfriend all these years, surely I could live with the fact that she'd inevitably get another boyfriend and I'd never have a chance with her.
Before I could give in and agree, the guy from earlier approached us again, checking Jackie out in a not so subtle way.
"Hey, Jackie," he said with a smile, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, jealousy returning in an instant. "You wanna go on the ferris wheel with me?"
I crossed my arms and looked away momentarily, anticipating the part where she'd say yes and this would all be for nothing.
"I appreciate you asking, Matt, but no thanks," she said politely.
"Oh," he said with surprise, and then grew awkward, probably not expecting her to decline. "Okay."
He left soon enough, embarrassed, and I glanced at Jackie with suspicion.
"Why not?"
She looked back to me, quirking a brow. "Huh?"
I motioned in his direction. "Why didn't you wanna go with him? He was flirting with you earlier, wasn't he?"
She suppressed a smile, eyes meeting mine with amusement. "Because I'm trying to hang out with you, idiot, if you'd only say yes."
My gaze flickered to the ground sheepishly as she let out a quiet chuckle.
"Bumper cars," I confirmed. "Sure."
Her smile widened. "Awesome. C'mon."
I let her drag me to the bumper cars, lightening up as we spent some time together. The longer the evening went on, the less this 'Matt' guy was gnawing at me, because Jackie chose me and that was something, right? We went on rides, played some stupid fair games at her insistence, despite them definitely being rigged, and she forced me to win her a prize even when I lost several times. But all in all, she was happy, and so was I, and I suppose that was all that mattered in the moment.
โ€”
The first night of the school play was finally upon us and I was backstage getting ready when Jackie paid me a visit, surprising me with a bouquet of flowers.
"These are for me?" I asked with genuine surprise.
"What is it they say in showbiz? Break a leg?" she asked rhetorically, before laughing at her own joke.
I smiled to myself as I looked down at the flowers in my hand. "Jackie, they're beautiful. Nobody's ever got me flowers before."
She tilted her, confused. "Well, that's not right."
I chuckled, gaze falling to her. "Thank you."
Heart warming in my chest, I pulled her into a hug with my free hand, grateful for her support.
"You deserve it," she said simply, before squeezing me tight then letting go. "I should go find my seat. I'll be right at the front where you can see me."
I laughed. "I'll keep an eye out. Thanks, Jackie."
She flashed me a smile before leaving to find her seat, and I couldn't stop smiling as the Drama teacher briefed us once more before final call.
The show went on with few hiccups, probably the best run we'd ever done, and the audience seemed to love it, giving us a huge round of applause. When the orchestra got their own special shout-out, I caught sight of my family in the middle, applauding, and then Jackie, who was cheering me on so loudly at the front that I couldn't help but flush with embarrassment.
Once the curtains closed, the orchestra had to go backstage for another word with the teachers before we were finally alright to leave. I found my family waiting for me at the back of the theatre and walked by the other students receiving praise from their families.
"There she is!" Jeff exclaimed when he saw me, grabbing my shoulder and squeezing it supportively.
I smiled as my parents pulled me in for a hug and congratulated me on the show.
"Thanks, guys, thanks for coming," I said gratefully, looking between them all. "You really didn't have to. I wasn't even in the show."
"Nonsense," my mum said with a wave of her hand. "You played beautifully, sweetie."
I breathed out deeply, both embarrassed and appreciative of their support. And then Jeff's expression dropped and I realised Jackie was approaching, flashing my parents a smile.
"Jackie, how lovely to see you," my mum greeted her. "You're here for Y/N too?"
"Yes, she did great, didn't she?" Jackie asked, putting an arm around my shoulder playfully.
"She did," my dad replied with a proud smile, before raising the flowers Jackie got me in the air. "And thanks for the flowers. It was kind of you to get them for her."
"Anytime," Jackie said with a shrug, before looking to me. "Are you free now or d'you have plans?"
Before I could respond, my mum insisted I celebrate with Jackie, trusting her. Since her breakup with Jeff, Jackie was still a favourite of my parents, understandably so. After saying our goodbyes, I was left with Jackie, who seemed excited about something.
"What are you thinking?" I asked her with amusement.
"I wanna hang out, my treat," she said nonchalantly.
My smile grew. "Seriously?"
She linked arms with me and began leading me to the door. "Seriously."
And that was how we ended up at the arcade that evening, with Jackie keeping to her word and rinsing all her pocket money on the arcade machines that were definitely a waste but she didn't seem to mind. We played air hockey, skeeball, a zombie shooter game and a bunch of other stuff that I didn't think she liked, and it was awesome.
After spending over an hour messing around, she generously bought me dinner there, some burgers and fries, and I was certain I was dreaming.
"You have your own ketchup, y'know," I said with raised brows when she dipped her fries into mine.
"I ate it and there's none left in the bottle," she claimed, before going in for another dip.
"Then ask for another bottle!" I exclaimed between a laugh, pulling my tray away.
"Quit being selfish!" she retorted with a grin, before leaning over the table to land a swipe.
"Jackie!" I scolded, and she winked as she ate her fry.
I rolled my eyes at her petulance before recognising someone behind her, approaching our direction. After a double take, I realised it was Eve Perkins, captain of the Lions soccer team and the girl Jackie utterly despised. The memory of the party from last year came to mind, including the whole argument I had with Jackie afterwards, and I suddenly prayed Eve wasn't here to cause trouble.
"Okay, don't freak out, but Eve Perkins is heading this way," I said calmly.
Jackie was surprised, straightening up in her seat and dying to turn around, but she kept her cool. "I won't."
"So, let me get this straight," Eve said as soon as she stopped by our table, looking down at Jackie with irritation. "You freak out at me for hanging with a sophomore, only to hang out with her yourself? What? Was her brother not enough?"
I almost choked on my drink at the abruptness of her words, worrying when I saw Jackie beginning to clench her jaw and fix Eve with a glare.
"Firstly, that's none of your business," she said lowly. "And secondly, you bitch."
I sighed inwardly, already expecting an argument, and Eve laughed bitterly.
"Tell me, Jackie. You still worried we're gonna beat you next week?" she asked condescendingly.
"Not worried at all," Jackie said through gritted teeth, reaching for her drink to calm down.
Eve smirked with satisfaction before looking to me. "Y'know, it's a shame you're hanging out with her still. You were cute. And you definitely deserve to be more than Jackie's sloppy seconds."
Mean girl fighting was never my thing, and I was stunned into silence at how rude Eve was being, clearly because of some unresolved business with Jackie. I was also a little embarrassed at what she was implying was between Jackie and I, unsure how to respond.
"Fuck you," Jackie said instantly, not at a loss for words, and it made me realise just how quickly things had taken a turn for the worst.
"Okay, how about we just leave it?" I said, looking between them both before settling on Eve with pleading eyes. "Please?"
Eve seemed to give in, rolling her eyes before walking off to rejoin her friends by the arcade machines. I sighed with relief before returning my attention to a distracted Jackie.
"Are you okay?" I asked with concern.
She breathed out slowly. "Yes. Sorry."
"It's okay. I'm just surprised Eve reacted like that. It came out of nowhere."
"I'm not," Jackie mumbled under her breath, only confirming my suspicion of some unfinished business between her and Eve.
I chewed on my lip, still a little concerned, but then she met my eyes with apologetic ones, expression softening.
"I'm sorry she said all that," she said sincerely, though her cheeks were tinged pink. "You're not my... it's not like..." She was struggling, eyes flittering around uncharacteristically, before she finished, "You're more than my sloppy seconds."
Realising why she was awkward, I began to chuckle. "Jackie, I know. I don't believe what she said. And besides, no sloppy seconds would be treated as wonderfully as I have tonight."
She hid a smile as she nodded. "Right."
It was easy for things to return back to how they were after that little interruption, and Jackie and I finished the rest of our meals in peace. Once we were done, I grabbed our trays to throw in the bin and she waited for me by the door. As I was dusting my hands off, I felt a presence beside me and looked up, not expecting to see Eve yet again. I hoped she wasn't here to start another argument, especially because I knew I'd lose it.
"I meant it when I said you deserve better than Jackie Taylor, you know that, right?" she said with a quirked brow.
I frowned. "That wasn't very nice. Jackie's a good person."
Eve snorted in disagreement. "Sure she is."
I shifted my weight between my feet awkwardly., "Look, your feud is your feud. I'm not gonna get involved."
She shrugged. "Fair enough. Sorry for involving you."
I nodded appreciatively, and she gave me a small smile.
"See you around, cutie."
Again, I was speechless as she walked away, wondering if she was trying to mess with my head to somehow get back at Jackie. Either way, there wasn't reason for me to see her around since we went to different schools, so I didn't let it worry me too much. Instead, I returned to Jackie who was glaring at Eve from across the room.
"What did she want now?" she asked with annoyance.
Not wanting to give her more reason to be frustrated, I said, "She just wanted to apologise."
Jackie glanced at me, unconvinced, but I shrugged and held open the door for her.
"Let's get you home, Jackie."
Thankfully, she didn't question me.

(PS I donโ€™t actually know the source material for idia I just stumbled upon one of your fics while looking at FFXIV Yandere fics so sorry if this sounds OOC)
Iโ€™m not super creative but what do you think might actually be Idiaโ€™ routine with his darling? Does he fall into any routine, does it change a lot?
Have a wonderful day (and happy late bunny day!) ๐Ÿซถ
I actually am of the opinion that this is a very creative thought! You should give yourself more credit. I like to idealize the day to day life, but it never occurred to me that writing it down might be a good idea. On that sentiment, I think maybe Vil or even Leona would have a better day to day routine. Dividers by @/cafekitsune
Also, wow, what a pipeline, FFXIV to twst?? You've got good taste lmao welcome to my blog.
I'll put this under the cut, and I'm also not promising that this will be very good. I use the 24 hour clock. I am constantly getting told irl that American people don't do that, but I'm evil, so I'm putting the times in 24 hour clock format.
TW for mentions of noncon, coercion, captivity, someone keeping someone else awake, a hint of Idia being an asshole
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
+ Idia doesn't really seem like he has much of a set schedule, but Ortho absolutely does and Ortho is lowkey kind of bossy, so...
+ Yeah uh, Idia's partner is absolutely out of luck. Idia likes night gaming a lot, and he gets loud, so good luck sleeping. Idia himself goes to bed late and wakes up whenever the heck he wakes up. He could go to bed at 0300 in the morning and wake up again at 0700.
+ As his kept partner, the schedule is a little more normal, like I said. Ortho doesn't really need to sleep from what I understand, (I haven't read all of book 6, no spoilers or else I WILL temporarily block you) but it's silly to imagine that he doesn't wake up or attempt to wake up everyone else around him as early as 0600.
+ After waking up, Idia will eat breakfast. I think it'd be delivered usually since Idia and his partner are basement dwellers, one by nature and the other by force. After breakfast begins work...
+ Or procrastination. Idia flip flops between extreme focus on what he should be doing and what he should not be doing. He manages to get his schoolwork done, but more often than not, he's asking his partner to cuddle up and watch a movie, drama, or his fingers flying across the keyboard. Idia will not ask them to cuddle if he is doing schoolwork or virtually attending classes.
+ I like to think that he smells smoky, on account of the flaming hair, and he runs hot, so prepare to SWEAT. In the case his partner doesn't really want to hang out with him, he will usually sulk and only occasionally get upset to the point of doing something about it.
+ I don't think he showers every day. I think he's an every other day type of showerer, based solely on him not being particularly active. This means that his partner doesn't have to run on his showering schedule and gets extra hot water on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
+ By the way, in the case that Idia's darling ever gets peckish, Idia has a snack stash that he proudly pulled out and showed them as soon as they were allowed to wander a bit. I figure they get hungry some time around 1400, especially if Idia is also eating at that time.
+ I think his metabolism is fast, but also a bit odd. He is a young person, and therefore he strikes me as the type to get randomly hungry. If asked very nicely (and with the promise of physical affection in some form) he'd be incredibly willing to make his partner something to munch on when he makes his own.
+ Despite Idia's partner being literally held captive in his room, with all his suspicious items and, worst of all, himself, Idia is about as respectful as a kidnapper can be about demanding sex. He doesn't like to be physically forceful about it, and he often will just jerk off in the bathroom.
+ The reason for this is very simple: If Ortho ever saw Idia having sex with ANYONE, Idia would spontaneously combust. Well, obviously he doesn't know that for certain, but it's a theory that he is not willing to test. He won't even talk about his preferences around his little brother.
+ As far as I'm aware, most people in captive situations do not tend to ask their kidnapper to fuck them unless they're being threatened in some way, but Idia's partner isn't typically being threatened (ignore the shock collar,) so they never ask Idia to have sex.
+ This does not stop Idia from being a whiny bitch about not having sex enough as soon as Ortho is gone for a few hours. The close quarters and sudden advent of a human being who he doesn't mind touching him is a big thing for Idia.
+ Ortho goes on "walks" in a sort of unusual schedule. That is to say that he doesn't have a schedule. If something needs to be picked up, he's tired of Idia not listening to him, he has his own stuff to do, or he just feels like it, Ortho will go out, sharing his location with Idia. From there, Idia will typically calculate how long it'd take Ortho to get back paired with whatever Ortho said he was going to do before he left, and see if he can squeeze in some coerced touching.
+ So. Good luck, Idia's partner. Idia will make a big stink until he gets bored or his partner gives in. His partner usually gives in, based on fear of what he might do alone.
+ Bedtime is somewhat randomized. If Ortho was out, when he comes back and it's any time after 2000, he will very subtly try to get Idia and his partner to start winding down. If both or one ignores him, he'll start getting upset.
+ Like I said, Ortho is kinda bossy. He will nag someone, and the worst part is that he's usually got their best interest in mind.
+On the off chance that Idia decides to go to bed at a decent time, he curls up behind his partner. He runs hot and smells smoky, and at some times it's not the worst thing. Some times.
+ By the way, a lot of this flies out the window in the event that Idia decides to attend classes in person. This is rare, so don't expect it to happen often, but it's not as good as it could be. Ortho goes with him and he locks up any way to reach the outside world, so all his partner has to entertain themselves is his manga collection, or the fun pastime of destruction of property. (This is a very bad idea, and I can expand on punishments later.)
+ In Idia's partner's case, every day is much of the same but just a little different, which makes it hard to keep track of time. The fact that Idia prefers low lighting and no natural light doesn't help this whatsoever.

so she goes - xavier thorpe [part 2]
Guitarist!Xavier x Fem!Reader
tonight you are mine [part 1]
Summary: After your date with Xavier, he doesn't call, leaving you to worry about where you stand.
Warnings: swearing, maybe some grammar mistakes (if you can find any, pls lmk) & i think that's all
A/N: i went down a different route for the second part because i didn't want to write the actual date. i hope you don't have high expectations lmao xo enjoy!
W/C: 3.2k
Tumblr media
โ€œI hate him.โ€ You spat as you slammed the door of your and Enidโ€™s apartment closed. Knowing she would be in her room, it was the first place you went.ย 
You stood in the doorway while Enid lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She had a knowing smirk on her lips but went against guessing.ย 
โ€œWho do we hate now?โ€ She asked.ย 
โ€œXavier! Who else?โ€ย 
Enid kept her giddiness to herself and acted nonchalant. โ€œI mean, there are a few others we could hate instead. But what did he do?โ€ย 
You shook your head.ย 
Nothing. He had done nothing.ย 
Enid knew from your expression that the date had gone well. โ€œWhat did you do?โ€ย 
You sighed and pushed Enid over lightly so you could lay next to her. Covering your face, you groaned.ย 
โ€œHeโ€™s just so irritating! Heโ€™s cocky, and heโ€™s cheeky, and heโ€™s so damn cute, and I wish he were boring so I didnโ€™t get this annoying feeling in my stomach every time he spoke.โ€ Your hands muffled your words, yet Enid heard every word. She grinned from ear to ear while you continued; however, your voice dropped to a whisper, tethering on the edge of cracking. โ€œIโ€™m scared, Enid.โ€ย 
The blonde girlโ€™s eyes widened at your confession. She shook her head and tried to remove your hands from your face. Her tone was quiet and warm as she spoke.ย 
โ€œWhy are you scared? Thereโ€™s no reason to be scared. He likes you, Y/n,โ€ She whispered. โ€œAnd I know you donโ€™t believe he could, but you shouldโ€™ve heard him backstage beforehand. It was almost sickening,โ€ She made a face, and you laughed softly. โ€œHe thinks youโ€™re the prettiest, and I think so too if that counts for anything.โ€ย 
You nodded, tears threatening to slip out of the corners of your eyes. โ€œReally?โ€ย 
โ€œObviously,โ€ Then she gasped. โ€œHe didnโ€™t hurt you, did he? If he has upset you, I will kick his ass and throw him out of his own band.โ€ย 
Laughing, you turned your head towards her. โ€œNo, this is all me.โ€ย 
She gave you a solemn look and twisted her lips.ย 
โ€œThank you.โ€ You whispered.ย 
Enid shook her head. โ€œItโ€™s the truth. So,โ€ she clapped and smiled, changing the direction of the conversation. โ€œHow was the date?โ€ย 
โจฏ . โบ โœฆ โŠน ๊™ณ โบ โ€ง โจฏ. โบ โœฆ โŠน . * ๊™ณ โœฆ โŠน
Meanwhile, Xavier paced in Ajaxโ€™s living room. The latter sat bored on the couch while he watched his best friend argue with himself. Xavier had gotten back from your date around the same time you had, but the warmth in his chest was something he hadnโ€™t acknowledged until he got to Ajaxโ€™s apartment.ย 
โ€œSheโ€™s soโ€ฆโ€ Xavier paused to find the word.ย 
โ€œCute, funny, so sarcastic it almost hurtsโ€”โ€ย 
โ€œFrustrating!โ€ย 
โ€œNot the word I wouldโ€™ve gone for, but yeah, okay.โ€ย 
Xavier didnโ€™t pay any mind to his best friend as he made a hole in the floor. โ€œSheโ€™s like no one I've ever met, Jax. Sheโ€™s, like, perfect for me!โ€
โ€œOkay, perfect?โ€ Ajax furrowed his brows. โ€œYou met her tonight.โ€ย 
โ€œExactly!โ€ Xavier stopped in his tracks and pointed at Ajax. โ€œWe only met tonight, and I already feel like this.โ€
Ajax went to open his mouth to talk again but was cut off.ย 
โ€œIs she a witch? Do they exist? Has she cast a spell on me?โ€ Xavierโ€™s long arms were thrown in the air in question as he continued to pace, his hair swishing in every direction. His expression was deadly serious, and Ajax had to hold in his laughter for fear heโ€™d offend his friend.ย 
โ€œI just think you like her, Thorpe.โ€
Xavier couldnโ€™t keep his smile contained as he looked at Ajax. โ€œYeah. Looks like it doesnโ€™t it.โ€ย 
โ€œBro, yes! I thought we would be here all week until you figured it out.โ€ Ajax jumped from the couch and hugged his taller friend, the pair laughing together.ย 
โ€œShut up.โ€ย 
โจฏ . โบ โœฆ โŠน ๊™ณ โบ โ€ง โจฏ. โบ โœฆ โŠน . * ๊™ณ โœฆ โŠน
It had been a week since your date. A week since Xavier took you for dinner and then drove you home. A week since youโ€™d heard from him. It hurt that he didnโ€™t text you, but you didnโ€™t either, and a phone works both ways.ย 
You refused to tell Enid, afraid she would pity you. You went about your days jumping when your phone got a message and hoping Enid wouldnโ€™t bring him up, which was going fine until she invited you to a band practice at Xavierโ€™s.ย 
โ€œItโ€™ll only be for a few hours, I promise, and then you can go home.โ€ She practically begged. You screwed your lips, unsure. You didnโ€™t want to embarrass yourself in front of Enid by telling her the truth, so you agreed.ย 
โ€œGreat!โ€ She squealed. โ€œIโ€™ll see you at 4.โ€ย 
At 4 pm, after parking your car in the street of Xavierโ€™s house, you walked towards the address Enid had given you. Band practice was held at Xavierโ€™s, as he was the only one with a garage to do so. He lived off-campus in a quaint house he shared with his other college friends.ย 
You didnโ€™t need to double-check the address when you heard the familiar sound of an electric guitar and drums. Your nerves were almost unbearableโ€”it was the first time youโ€™d be seeing Xavier after your date. After he never followed up with you.ย 
โ€œAnd here she is! The girl of the hour, my favourite person everโ€”โ€
โ€œAfter Ajax.โ€
โ€œAfter Ajax! Heyโ€ฆโ€ Enidโ€™s voice echoed through the street as she spoke through the microphone when she spotted you on the sidewalk. โ€œY/n!โ€ย 
The electric guitar riffs stopped. You looked up and waved at Enid before your gaze drifted to the left. Xavier sat with his deep blue guitar, the afternoon sun reflecting off the paint. Heat rose to your cheeks as you shared an awkward smile with him. If the others saw, they didnโ€™t say anything yet.ย 
โ€œHey, Y/n,โ€ Ajax sang, wiggling his eyebrows at you. You shook your head, wishing they wouldnโ€™t tease you. You didnโ€™t want to make things awkward, considering you hadnโ€™t told anyone you hadnโ€™t spoken to Xavier in a week.
โ€œHi, Ajax. Whereโ€™s Rowan?โ€ You wanted nothing more than to direct the conversation down a different route, but when Ajax looked at you like that, you knew he wasnโ€™t giving up the topic f his best friend and you yet.ย 
โ€œHe had a study group,โ€ Ajax brushed off your question. โ€œThereโ€™s a seat next to Xav if you need one.โ€ย 
You gave him an unsure smile in response and saw Xavier drag a fold-out chair towards him and pat it in your peripheral. Sighing, you turned, avoided eye contact, and sat in the seat next to Xavier.
โ€œThank you.โ€ย 
โ€œNo problem.โ€ He watched you sit down; his green eyes were bright in the setting sun.ย 
You didnโ€™t speak for a moment, letting the awkward air settle between you two, instantly regretting it.ย 
โ€œIโ€™m just here to watch, okay? Donโ€™t let me distract you.โ€ You said, picking at your fingernail.ย 
Xavier laughed breathlessly next to you. โ€œEasy for you to say.โ€ย 
You leaned back in your seat, deciding to go with a teasing response rather than none at all. Youโ€™d hope it would diffuse the tension. โ€œPretend Iโ€™m a ghost. Or, a witch, rather. Iโ€™ve cast an invisibility spellโ€ฆ.โ€ย 
Ajax had told you about Xavierโ€™s spiel about you last week when you were still riding the high from going on a date with Xavier. And letโ€™s just say youโ€™d have enough ammo for a while if Xavier would let you.ย 
The uncomfortable air dissipated as Xavier turned around quickly and shot Ajax a glare. โ€œAre you fucking kidding?โ€ย 
The drummer just laughed and threw his arms up in surrender. โ€œI donโ€™t know what youโ€™re talking about, man.โ€ย 
โ€œI hate all of you.โ€ย 
You wore a smug grin as you stared at his side profile.ย 
โ€œNot Y/n, right? You still have so many dates to go on.โ€ Ajax called.
Xavier physically froze, and Ajax started clicking his fingers at Enid to get her attention.ย 
His head slowly turned towards you, a lopsided grin on his lips. He glanced at his best friend before he nodded.ย 
โ€œYeah, no, I donโ€™t hate you.โ€ His expression softened when he saw your teeth capture your bottom lip. โ€œWhat are you doing tonight?โ€ย 
You ignored Enidโ€™s giddy squeal and replied. โ€œWhatever youโ€™re doing.โ€ Your gaze never left his eyes. The anxiety about Xavier youโ€™d harboured had been on the back burner.
Ajax laughed. โ€œSheโ€™s so smooth, Thorpe! Up your game, bro!โ€ย 
Xavier dropped his head and let out an easy chuckle before looking back at you. โ€œSounds good. Weโ€™ll go out after this.โ€ย 
You nodded, anxiety fizzling in your stomach as you thought about being alone with him again.ย 
โจฏ . โบ โœฆ โŠน ๊™ณ โบ โ€ง โจฏ. โบ โœฆ โŠน . * ๊™ณ โœฆ โŠน
The deep chords of the guitar vibrated through the garage. Enid went inside to get water with Ajax, who desperately needed one too. You rolled your eyes when the couple left, leaving you with Xavier. Although, he was in his own world while he figured out the riff to a new song.ย 
You had relaxed a while ago with your head lolled to the side as you watched Xavier pluck the guitar strings. You didnโ€™t mind watching him; you found it intriguing and didnโ€™t want to disturb him. You wanted to ask him about not calling but were deterred when you saw his expression.
Xavierโ€™s face was tense with concentration, his hair hung in his eyes, and you took the time to admire him while he attempted different patterns. The way his fingers moved up and down the neck; the way he hummed the melody; the way he sighed in annoyance when he couldnโ€™t get it quite right.ย 
After he played through the song with the riff he was trying out, you intervened. โ€œThat sounds really good, Xav.โ€ย 
Xavier glanced at you, a sheepish smirk on his lips as he shrugged one shoulder. โ€œI guess.โ€ A deep red dusted his cheeks as he smiled wider. โ€œThanks.โ€ย 
You noticed him lean closer, and you did too. His eyes flickered to your mouth, and butterflies erupted in your stomach. It was quiet, the only sound being the wind brushing the plants a few feet away from you.ย 
But the door attached to the kitchen slammed open, making you two jump apart.ย 
โ€œAre we ready to rock and roll?โ€ Ajax yelled. Enid bounced on her toes next to him, and Xavier stood, putting the guitar strap over his head. He gave you an apologetic look before smirking, dimples indenting his cheeks.ย 
As you watched him adjust the strap, you noticed the ends of his hair were caught under it on the back of his neck.ย 
โ€œXav.โ€ After the sound of your voice, Xavier turned. He was confused when you stood up and reached towards his neck. You spun him back around, grabbed his hair, and slowly pulled it out from under the strap. The room was silent as the others watched your interaction. Xavierโ€™s forehead creased when he felt you do so but relaxed when he realised what youโ€™d done.ย 
โ€œUh, thanks, Y/n.โ€ He mumbled, his cheeks still painted a darker crimson than before.ย 
โ€œNo problem.โ€ You wrung your hands together. โ€œYou should probably put your hair up.โ€ย 
โ€œIs that what you want?โ€ He teased, leaning over to pluck the hair tie off your wrist.ย 
You stammered as he took it, heat rushing to your cheeks when he winked at you as he pulled his hair out of his face and into a bun. If Enid was squealing with excitement like usual, you didnโ€™t hear it, too preoccupied seeing how a single hairstyle could change his appearance.ย 
His features were sharper in the afternoon light compared to on stage. His nose longer, cheekbones higher, his jaw defined, and his neck slender.ย 
โ€œStop drooling, or youโ€™ll have to mop the floor yourself, Y/n!โ€ Xavier chuckled to himself as Ajax yelled.ย 
Your whole body was on fire in embarrassment. โ€œFuck off, Jax!โ€
The drummer only laughed and began the first beats of the new song. It was difficult without the bass guitar, but they made it work.
So She Goes.ย 
โจฏ . โบ โœฆ โŠน ๊™ณ โบ โ€ง โจฏ. โบ โœฆ โŠน . * ๊™ณ โœฆ โŠน
Xavier was relieved practice was over, something he would never admit. He loved playing, and he loved the band, but when you sat there looking pretty, he would do anything to leave and take you out instead. He was a little upset that you hadnโ€™t texted him back, but he would do anything to find out why, which is mainly why he asked you to hang out. He couldnโ€™t stand to be away from you again when you were so close.ย 
So, he led you to his car, a black Toyota Corolla, and opened the passenger door for you. He would drop you back here to get your car afterwards.ย 
The silence inside the car was uncomfortable as you watched the street lights pass by out the window. Unironically, High and Dry by Radiohead played softly through the radio, and Xavier tightened his fists on the steering wheel, glancing over at you through the darkness.ย 
You pursed your lips in an attempt to stop your giggle. But you told him last week that youโ€™d always laughed at the wrong times, so he was expecting it.ย 
โ€œXavier,โ€ You said, a breath of laughter following. โ€œWhere are we going?โ€
He smirked, poking his cheek with his tongue at the sound, and looked at you when the car stopped at a red light. โ€œA lookout. We need to talk.โ€ย 
His tone was light, faking seriousness, so you werenโ€™t expecting an awkward chat about where you stood with each other.ย 
Warm light passed through the car in bursts as you turned to watch Xavier drive a few minutes ago. He let his hair down some time ago, rolling the hair tie back onto your wrist with a thank you. You played with the band on your arm as you admired him, and you knew he knew you were doing so.ย 
A few bumps in the road made you look straight ahead. The feeling told you the car was pulling up to a gravel road, and then the crunching sound of tyres on the pebbles filled the car. You slid slightly in your seat, and Xavier looked over at you, smiling.ย 
Youโ€™d heard about this lookout from people at college. It was a beautiful spot at night but also the number one hook-up spot for students who lived in dorms and had roommates. You couldnโ€™t help but feel the anticipation as he pulled into a parking spot.ย 
The view that expanded past the windscreen was unexpected. The vivid lights of downtown and the clusters of lights from neighbourhoods blurred the stars in the sky, but it was a sight.ย 
You sat further up in your seat to try and spot your apartment buildingโ€”something you still couldnโ€™t find every time he brought you here.ย 
As you searched, Xavier fidgeted in his seat. He wasnโ€™t sure how to bring up the situation with you, his confident persona that you knew from a week ago fading with every day he wasnโ€™t on stage.ย 
So, instead of stalling, he outright asked it. โ€œWhy didnโ€™t you text me back?โ€ย 
You turned your head towards him, a confused look on your face. โ€œYou never texted me.โ€ย 
โ€œYes, I did,โ€ Xavier plucked his phone from the cup holder and passed it to you. You squinted at the screen. โ€œSee?โ€ย 
Your eyebrows furrowed as you grabbed the phone out of his hand and read the phone number at the top of the screen after reading the message: hey y/n, i had a great time the other night. wanna do it again?
โ€œMy number is wrong,โ€ Xavierโ€™s head whipped towards you. โ€œThat six is meant to be a five.โ€
โ€œSeriously?โ€ He was breathless as he asked and then blushed, playfully snatching his phone from your hands. โ€œIโ€™ll fix that.โ€ย 
As you watched him change the number, you sat sideways in your seat. Glancing to your left, you saw a familiar grey t-shirt on the backseat.
โ€œLetโ€™s see.โ€ You mumbled, reaching to grab the shirt. As you unravelled it, you saw Xavier take a glimpse at what you were holding. Your phone number was still scribbled messily on the chest area of the shirt where you wrote it a week ago, and you could see how he could have mistaken the 5 for a 6.ย 
โ€œI wrote that so badly, sorry,โ€ You smiled sheepishly, covering your cheeks with your hands that held the shirt, mostly by accident, but Xavier thought it was cute. The faint scent of his cologne and him overwhelmed your senses, and your ears felt hot.ย 
Xavier locked his phone and set it in the cup holder. Your phone buzzed under your leg, and you ignored it as you made eye contact with him.ย 
You dropped your hands to your lap and rubbed the fabric with your fingers, tilting your head when Xavier sighed. โ€œArenโ€™t you gonna answer?โ€ย 
โ€œDepends.โ€ You whispered, throwing a teasing smile in his direction as you tossed the shirt in your hands in the backseat, tapping your phone screen afterwards.
Saturday?ย 
Xavier gave you a crooked smile and dropped his gaze to his lap, his hair falling in front of his eyes. He lifted his eyes to yours before you spoke.
You nodded. โ€œI can do Saturday.โ€ย 
โ€œPerfect,โ€ His cheeks were pink. โ€œBut I have a gig beforehand, so if you want to come to that, I can get you a spot backstage.โ€
Xavier leaned his elbow on the middle console and brought his face toward yours. Your eyes flickered between his and his lips, noticing him doing the same.ย 
โ€œSounds good, rockstar.โ€ You say, brushing his jaw with your fingertips.ย 
It was silent for a moment as the two of you admired each other. His breath on your lips and your nose brushing his. You tucked his hair behind his ear, a few strands falling forward in protest.
โ€œCan I?โ€ He mumbled, his hand caressing the back of your head, fingers twisting in your hair.ย 
You nodded, wasting no time, and gripped his chin, kissing him.ย 
โจฏ . โบ โœฆ โŠน ๊™ณ โบ โ€ง โจฏ. โบ โœฆ โŠน . * ๊™ณ โœฆ โŠน
On Saturday night, Enid invited Xavier to perform his new song. One the band had spent hours on that week s he could do so. You stood in the front row after declining Xavierโ€™s offer to be backstage. You would tell him later that it was because you liked the atmosphere and not because you could see him better from there.ย 
Xavier was in his element. With his burning glances and swollen lips, long fingers and raspy voice, he only kept his eyes on you. He played his guitar and sang with Enid like an angel, and it was only a few songs before he was running the show.
He dedicated this song to you. The one he had been writing for months and couldnโ€™t finish.ย 
But once he had his muse, he was hooked.ย 
Rose colored glasses glued to my face when she always came around,ย  attaching memories to these sounds
Dimming the flashes from the Polaroids I took inside my head,ย  but I'll forget the words she said
And so she goes, leaving those aspirations And so she goes, free from those conversations
And she faced the window driving back on Main Street And I'll keep my cards close whenever someone's near me
โจฏ . โบ โœฆ โŠน ๊™ณ โบ โ€ง โจฏ. โบ โœฆ โŠน . * ๊™ณ โœฆ โŠน
songs mentioned: - so she goes - geskle
โจฏ . โบ โœฆ โŠน ๊™ณ โบ โ€ง โจฏ. โบ โœฆ โŠน . * ๊™ณ โœฆ โŠน
thank you for reading! <3

Episode 7, here goes nothing
You are literally too perfect for this show sir
Tumblr media
Why does Alastor have more screentime in Charlie's room than her literal girlfriend
WHY DO THEY LITERALLY SHARE A BED BEFORE WE SEE CHARLIE AND VAGGIE DO
Tumblr media
He's so fucking happy listening to her trauma dump I hate him /pos
Tumblr media
Oh yeah the whole "angels can be killed" was a plot point wasn't it lol
Damn Charlie why so bitter about Vaggie being an angel. Like I understand being upset she kept such a big secret from you but it's not like she didn't have her reasons? Vaggie probably just figured it'd be safest to pretend to be a demon since she couldn't return to Heaven
"Come now Alastor she's much too young for you" S T O P
OH SHIT actual verbal confirmation Alastor's ace?? I was NOT expecting that
Cannibal Town is lovely design-wise but the characters dressed in red on a background is getting hard to look at
Rosie's design is pretty nice too, her design isn't too overly complicated
Carmilla: *makes it clear she doesn't want to help Vaggie fight angels* Also Carmilla: *immediately starts teaching Vaggie how to fight angels* Make it make sense ma'am
"It's not like you've ever failed to inspire before" Al I don't think Charlie's managed to inspire anyone once but okay
Susan.
I also just realized, wouldn't you think Vaggie would know something about how to kill an angel since she is one? Or at the very least know their weak points?
Oh okay so Vaggie didn't even know she herself could be harmed, fair enough I suppose
Wait so the angels' main weakness is their own weapons? And no one has figured this out until just now???
Carmilla's design looks way better with her hair down imo
It is honestly a crime Vaggie has such little screentime as she does, because the more I see of her the more I like her. It's also so frustrating Charlie basically just cut her off the second she found out she was an angel when her whole goal is redeeming people?? Charlie why are you fine with every other character calling you a bitch and Alastor literally owning peoples' souls but completely shun your own girlfriend because she (understandably imo) kept a secret from you??
And even after Charlie shunned her Vaggie is STILL 100% dedicated to supporting her cause and is willing to fight to keep her safe. Vaggie you deserve so much better
Aw Al giving Charlie his mic is sweet, what can I say. Characters trusting another character with a prized possession of theirs gets me
Hmmmm Al and Rosie's duet sounds a little sus. Sounds like Al wants to shape Charlie into something specific. Maybe in order to take over Hell or something??
Charlie why you making that face about your girlfriend's wings, what are you thinking about
Tumblr media
Also really kinda wish these two actually sat down and had a talk together, but we already know this show has zero down time, so onto the finale I guess. So, so much of this show's pacing could be fixed if these characters just sat down and talked to each other. Charlie specifically should be spending more time with all the characters she claims to care about, but I'd be willing to bet money she's not Viv's favorite character lmao
I feel like this show was really scared it wasn't going to get another season, so they just crammed as much stuff as they could into 8 episodes. Which, now that it's been renewed for another season, what exactly are they planning on doing going forward? Ease up on the lightning-fast pacing or just keep the same momentum? If it gets more than two seasons I honestly have no clue what they're going to do story-wise because pretty much everything is being wrapped up neatly. Ah well, I guess time can only tell

Enel x reader; general dating headcanons
warnings: mentions of Enel's violence (towards other people, not reader), possible grammatical errors + Enel's probably put of character for even seeing someone as equal to himself lmao
first of all if he actually dates you and not just uses as temporary entertaining that means he must see you as equal to him in some way. maybe you have interesting personality or unique view on some things and he likes talking with you. whatever is so special about you it made god fall for you, so good job
even though no matter how amazing and strong you personality may be, you're definitely still much weaker than him physically. but that's why he's going to protect you. you can be sure that at least two of White Berets are gonna be with you when you go for a stroll in the forest or even to some shop on Angel Beach
and if he finds out someone made you upset? they better save their prayers, because they won't help them anyway. he straight up kills them using God's Judgement
if you tell him you don't like his violence and he doesn't have to kill every person who was mean to you... yeah he's not gonna listen. he loves you very much and respects your opinion, but he can't let people disrespect his beloved and even if he sees you as equal to him other people are still below you two so they should be happy to even have chance of talking to you
also he sometimes may be a little bit possessive and will probably get jealous and clingy if he notices you start to spend more time with someone who is not him
tho he's usually clingy...
he loves to lay his head on your lap and let you trace shapes on his skin or bathe with you so you can wash his hair
most of the time you spend with him is probably on his big ass bed cuddling and talking. he loves discussing morality and philosophy with you while holding you in his strong arms, letting you lay on his chest (he absolutely loves when he can flex his muscles. he's always shirtless for a reason lol)
this one is very random, but sometimes he gently bites you out of nowhere claiming he's sad people don't offer him human sacrifices so he has to make up for it by chomping you... you're not sure if he's joking about human sacrifices part or not, but his smile is just too adorable so you usually ignore it
overall Enel as a partner would be amazing to you and absolutely scary to everyone who ever had beef with you

It only makes sense for Steve to have this massive guilt complex when everyone else is pointing out how much of an asshole he used to be like every other sentence, the way that most of these fics seem to have everyone doing. With how often so much fic has everyone constantly reminding Steve that he was an asshole, it's understandable that he would internalise it and start to feel guilty.
BUT, it's not realistic to have everyone pointing out that he was an asshole, because it almost never happens in the show.
-The kids refer to him as a douchebag in s1, but that's before they met or got to know him
-Jonathan thinks of Steve as an asshole but that is a very biased point of view. He was also an asshole to Steve, and seems to refuse to see the possibility of Steve's growth as a person, despite the evidence being right in front of him
-Robin said Steve was a douchebag, but admitted it was based on very little and that she was jealous
-Eddie said he thought Steve was a douchebag, but admitted that his judgement was wrong and based off of incorrect assumptions he made based off of other factors, like Steve coming from a rich family
So basically 4 times in 4 seasons people have commented about Steve being an asshole. Three of them were before they'd really met and for to know Steve and two of them admitted that the judgement was wrong.
So yeah, Steve isn't having this massive guilt complex, because no one is constantly reminding him that he was an asshole when he was 16.
You're so right, like yes he does seem regretful when people bring up him being a douchebag but as you said... No one actually does that often??? Robin along with calling him a jerk also says he's "Mr. Cool, Mr. Funny" which I think shows what most people typically thought of him.
The kids thing doesn't even phase me lmao. Like of course the middle school aged sibling and his friends are going to think his older sister's boyfriend with the nice hair and the flashy car is going to be a douchebag. Tbh I'd be more surprised if they liked him before spending time with him, especially with how wrapped up in Nancy he was.
The Jonathan and Eddie ones are the most funny to me though because like, Jonathan also rails into Nancy for being "shallow" and then claims he's able to see her true self after taking stalker pics of her. Why are we taking s1 Jonathan at his word there. Jonathan and Steve clearly didn't interact much before the photos and the suspected cheating, considering that Steve also gives Tommy shit for the "I think he killed his brother" comment.
And the Eddie one dfigjdirgjsir He is sooo my way or the highway he very clearly judges people based on appearances, and Steve is a rich jock of course he assumes he's an asshole. He makes fun of everyone across the spectrum of popularity for conforming in his intro scene. And you're right! He also admits his assumptions were wrong! Idk why fandom loves to forget that Eddie actively 1) admitted weirdo supremacy, jocks suck world view was wrong, and 2) that he was specifically wrong about Steve.
I think if people were reminding Steve of his past "transgressions" more, we would like? Get some acknowledgement of that on screen? Not only because I think you're right, it's the only way Steve would obtain a guilt complex that that but also because presumably Steve would be upset about it instead of just taking it? He would make comments about people always bringing it up or saying that people are right instead of acknowledging his change or moving past it.
There's no reason aside for whump for why Steve should be guilt complexing this hard, especially over like being a bit of a dick teenager which, everyone in the show is lol.

-the polar opposite of being a human huh...i mean besides something i said weeks ago about how he's further away from humanity more than he would like that point is interesting cuz most of the time we call him someone who is more human than any other person. he carries more pain than any human could endure and definitely has more patience than anyone will ever have but...hm...i want to come back to this

-oh im yeeting myself (ww thinks about the children) -ww gives in his anger and fear when punching those weirdass faces but I'm gonna say this once: that doesn't make him weaker or worst. i haven't seen anyone think that of ww, i just feel that when he compares himself to vash he feels that way and i cant stand it :)
-vash i fucking swear-

-oh you are NOT talking to my vash about pain and agony
-OH WAIT I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT PANEL OH GOD NO I HATE REREADS WTF

-THERES SO MUCH FEAR AND LOVE IN THOSE EYES IM GONNA BITE MY HAND
-OH I CANT ACTUALLY WHY DOES THIS HURT SO MUCH WTF
-im so fucking upset cuz the last 3 chapters were basically fights. they were full of energy and shit but now that is over and they are in a rare moment of peace, and everything fucking hits.
-im gonna go outside and step into oncoming traffic
-YES LUIDA MY QUEEN SHUT HIM UP
-WOLFWOOD :D pls never leave me
-i....*implodes*
-i am nothing. i just remembered that.
-OH CMONNNNNN
chap 7
-maybe i dont want to read trimax anymore. maybe a little person like me isn't strong enough for a 2nd round of the pain. with that in mind, lets keep reading :D
-WHERES THE NIGHTOW PUNCHING BAG WHEN YOU NEED IT
-wolfwood what he is it doesnt matter i swear pls cant you just love him?
-:c
-i dont like vash being emotionally attached to stuff cuz that means i have to yell HES LIKE ME FR FR
-oh that....that beautiful panel...amazing
-i think my mind blocked this out because of the previous sad things that happened, so now my brain is allowing me to process more sad things :3
-"i still have so much i must do" and i see i still have many tears to cry out huh?
-ofc wolfwood would ask about redemption
-cant my man show an important part of his past and show vulnerability in front of his friends in peace? damn
-im gonna start bitting my glasses
-GAY MOMENT PART 2 INCOMING
-luida pls i want to stop crying
-oh wolfwood honey....you just fell so hard for my man didnt ya
-i just realized the chapter is called "life as a" and I THINK the idea is to complete it with "life as a 'vash the stampede'" cuz he's not human
OK GREAT NOW I CAN RUN TO THE WASHROOM AND FUCKING CRY :D

Woah hey haha didn't know there were so many people out there who liked both TWST AND Labyrinth uhh.
...Am I legally obligated to talk about my Jareth TWST oc now?
I guess so. Here's the boy. My little meow meow.
Tumblr media
I guess I'll give oc info here now!
[Octavinelle Dorm]
Jewell Labelle Twisted from: Jareth the Goblin King (Labyrinth 1986) Other inspirations: Ziggy Stardust (The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars)
Grade/Class: Junior/Class C Birthday: August 10th (Leo) Species: Fae (Specifically barn owl) Age: ??? (Says he's around 18 though) Height: 6" (183 cm) Dominant Hand: Left Homeland: Briar Valley Club: Film Studies Club Best Subject: Conjuration Hobbies: Guitar Pet Peeves: Bad hair days (lol) Favorite Food: Mice (it's actually angel food cake but he isn't going to tell that to anyone lol) Least Favorite Food: All fish. Of any kind. Talent: Magic Tricks
Sexuality: Bisexual Gender: Yeah. Pronouns: He/Him Family: Anastasia Labelle (mother), Essex Labelle (father)
Stubborn yet charming. Like most Octavinelle students, Jewell will do anything to get his way, including underhanded tactics. And if something is not to his liking, he will complain. A lot.
Unique Magic: "Such a pity..."
Jewell can condense a fantasy of his making into the form of a bubble. Once this bubble pops against the skin of someone, the afflicted person will soon fall asleep, dreaming of the fantasy the bubble was made from. This slumber can last up to 13 hours at the most. Outside forces will not wake the sleeping person, however, they can definitely become aware that they are dreaming and wake themself up. (Like how Sarah sees the clock and realizes she's dreaming in the ballroom scene in Labyrinth.)
Backstory!!
Jewell is the only son of a fae archivist and resides in the Briar Valley. Considering the amount of fae species spread throughout the world of Twisted-Wonderland, it occurred to Jewel's great-great-grandfather many years ago to begin to archive information about all of these species. Their work is nowhere near done, hence why Jewell is next in line to continue the work of his ancestors. Jewell doesn't particularly want this role. He's more upset that he isn't somewhere else touring with some friends and playing guitar. But there's not much he can do, is there? Life isn't fair.
As a result of his father's profession, he had to travel around a lot, leaving Jewell with a near-nonexistent relationship with his father. His mother, on the other hand, is overbearing in the sense that she is far too worried about his physical safety and well-being to the point where she doesn't allow Jewell to leave the estate by himself. Yet, she has made no point to try to fix Jewell's unsavory way of treating the people around him. Objectively, he is mean and manipulative for fun.
There IS more to Jewell's backstory but I'm still working on some characters involved with him, so this is a WIP for now :3
Fun Jewell Facts:
-Jewell can turn into a barn owl (he also screeches like one!) -He has a deal with Azul where he technically doesn't "work" at the Mostro Lounge like other students. He's entertainment. He'll play guitar or do magic tricks for customers. -He has this DRAMATIC ASS on-and-off relationship with another oc I have twisted from Howl Pendragon LMAO -One time he scared a napping Leona on purpose. Leona knew it was Jewell. He didn't give a shit. -He's like the only Octavinelle student who actually passed flight class (that's not saying much he passed with a D+). Well, he takes potion-making over flight now but before he was a third year? -Jewell can turn his head 270 degrees like an owl. He also is able to eat small rodents and bugs. They don't taste very good but he says he eats mice regularly to scare people. -HATES Malleus Draconia with a PASSION for NO REASON. Anarchy except for the King of Goblins, he's okay. -He acts in films for the Film Studies club on occasion. Jewell mainly helps with general audio stuff and helps compose music.
List of References made to Jareth, Ziggy Stardust, or generally David Bowie in Jewell's character:
-Jewell is unwilling to take over his father's profession but has to do it anyway similar to how Jareth seems unwilling to be the Goblin King but has to anyway. Both of them would rather be down in SoHo lol. -Left-handed, extremely pale ("He played it left-hand, but made it too far", "Well-hung and snow white tan" -Ziggy Stardust (TRAFOZSATSFM)) -Heterochromia (Bowie had anisocoria, his left pupil was permanently dilated as a result of a fight with George Underwood over a girl when he was a teenager. It's a common misconception that Bowie had heterochromia. Hence why I gave Jewell heterochromia.) -The pouch hanging from his belt looks like Hoggle's pouch of trinkets that Sarah steals at some point for a reason. -I created the whole barn owl subset of fae entirely because of Jareth shifting into the form of a barn owl in Labyrinth. -Jewell's mother Anastasia is technically twisted from the Junk Lady. I chose her because, in a SINGLE draft of the Labyrinth script, she was Jareth's mother. And I thought it was FUNNY.
This boy is a combo of Jareth (shown to be selfish and manipulative) and Ziggy Stardust (literally died because he got too famous and let it get to his head). Get him help his ego is farrr too big.

survey #091
(taken december 18th last year; uploading surveys taken while gone)
Have you ever shared a house with a significant other? Not legally, but I stayed in that apartment way, way too regularly to be considered a "guest" by that point.
How are you feeling today? Happy, sad, or anything else? I am super fucking at peace, Girt stayed last night and the one before that and it was great. Roman and Cookie both slept with us, and it was just a sound, cozy night. I woke up when he did with his alarms to go to work and we were both super cuddly and it was just cute. After work he comes straight back here to stay again, and I am ACTUALLY considering trying to make dinner out of something for us so I can feel like a proper adult and helpful partner. Idc, I wanna do something nice and adult-y.
Who was the last person that made you upset? What did they do? I am FULL prefacing this with the fact this was dumb as shit and I was absolutely being a brat, but I got frustrated I wanna say three nights ago when I was venting the tiniest bit to Girt and he took 'til like, midnight, when I was asleep, to reply. It's embarrassing to even share, like holy shit he has a life and responsibilities and also free time and such. He proves a million times over he cares and is absolutely always there for me, that night just sucked so pretty much everything was hurting me.
Do you have a crush on anyone? Tell me about them. "Crush" doesn't even begin to cover it. Been there for me consistently more than any friend I have ever, and I do mean ever, had. He's never lost faith that I can do great things and conquer what I'm afraid of. He makes me cry from laughing when I don't even want to smile. I feel like I can tell him pretty damn much anything. He's genuinely the most doting boyfriend ever and besides probably my mom of course, my biggest fan there is; he will hype me the fuck up over anything and supports me endlessly. He really appreciates and values my advice and opinions. He SOMEHOW acts entirely unashamed of me. I need to stop, I am too fucking emotional lately and am crying/fighting not to sob lmao jesus, he's just great.
Have you ever had something signed by someone famous? What and who? No but bitch I wish, there are some signatures I would frame lmao
Have you made out with anyone in the last 2 weeks? Yeah.
Have you shaved your legs in the past three days? No. I want laser hair removal on my legs so fucking bad, my legs humiliate me but for multiple reasons regularly shaving them just is not reasonable, or maybe even not possible right now.
Does anyone hate you? Probably. Quite sure there are people who do.
What bugs you about the last person you dated? She is, honestly, one of the biggest liars I have ever met, and has been SINCE we met. Among other things.
Have you ever felt replaced? Oh yes.
Have you ever played a drinking game? Which ones? No.
Did you ever play Neopets when you were younger? Oh yes, I was obsessed. Honestly, it started my computer addiction, I'm pretty sure. Omg I actually recently saw this tattoo featuring a sick tiger Neopet with the quote "we are all God's Neopets, and he forgot the password" and BOY I fucking CONSIDERED lmfao
Do you regularly check anyoneโ€™s profile online? Nope.
Have your parents ever worked in medicine? My mom was a pharmacy tech for quite a while.
Do you have any silly nicknames or pet names? I guess "Twinkie," which is the nickname my mom has used for me since I was a baby; she gave all her kids sweets nicknames, lol.
Are you any good at drawing? I guess, wish I was better though.
Is there anything unusual about your house? Uh I don't believe so.
Do you find it hard to talk to strangers, even people who work in stores? Yes, to such a debilitating degree that it has majorly affected my ability to work/find work I can function through.
How many wigs do you own? Zero.
Are your maternal/parental instincts strong? No, but more than they once were; I've helped my mom babysit my nieces and nephew so much that I guess they just naturally started to grow. Like I DO know I get way more upset when a baby cries than in the past, especially if they ARE my niece/nephew, like I get this desperate urge to fix whatever's wrong and I really feel like my heart hurts. It's weird, historically I've had stronger maternal-ish (major emphasis on "ish," don't make this weird) protection instincts over s/os, I've found especially if they're sick.
Do you feel confident in your body image? My self-confidence is in the fucking negatives and it's been getting to me even more than usual (which is already severely) the past few days.
Do you like country music? I hate it. In very rare instances, I'll hear a song I enjoy, but in general? I cannot stand it.
What was the last essay you remember writing about? Toxic masculinity. I wish I still had access to it, it was probably one of my favorite academic things I have ever written. My teacher loved it and used it as the example piece the following semester.
In your dream kitchen, would the worktops be marble or steel? Marble.
Who is considered the โ€œblack sheepโ€ of your family? Why? Me. I am pretty starkly different from the general vibe and interests of my family.
Whatโ€™s something youโ€™re so good at that you take pride in your skill? I'm genuinely proud of my writing.
Whatโ€™s the worst/best thing youโ€™ve done without your parents knowing? My mom would probably kill me if she knew certain places I "did things" as a teen lmfao. Best, uhhhh... that's hard dude, my mom knows so, so, so much. I'm stumped enough to give in and also say the same things that qualified for "worst" kms ๐Ÿฅด
Whatโ€™s a random funny scene from a movie that has stuck with you? Honestly a lot fromย White Chicks, that movie is so fucking memeable and I love it.
Would you date someone who still lived with their parents? I do that now, so yes. Although in Girt's situation, it's for his mom versus she housing him; she has mental health problems and couldn't work for many years, so she came back to Girt all the way from like Indiana or something and stayed with him because he's a fucking saint. He's basically run the place for he and Shelia for many years on his own, but she's now had a stable job for maybe like a year now and he's very READY to move out, the housing market is just so wordlessly insane right now that doing so is very unreasonable, so for right now they stay together.
Would you have to sleep with someone before marrying them? No.
Do you think there is life on other planets? In some form, absolutely. It's like, impossible for us to be the ONLY life-sustaining planet in an infinite space.
Would you enjoy a night of playing video games? Hell yeah, those with Girt are the absolute best.
Would you watch a porno with your partner? No, porn grosses me out personally. I don't want to see two totally random people going at each other. I would get absolutely nothing but a disgust reaction from that. It's totally fine if others are into it (just not to an addiction level obviously, that's problematic), I'm just not.
Do you like gummy candy? Yeah, it's a texture I like more than most others.
Do you know what the person you have feelings for is doing at this moment? He's at work.
How many brothers does your father have? I'm quite sure he has none, or he just hasn't talked about him like, at all.
Are any of your relatives vets? Not that I know of.
Who cleans the most in your house? My mom.
Do you have any current or past teachers on your facebook friends? Quite a lot, and I doubt they're happy with me. ๐Ÿฅด
Have you ever seen the last person you kissed cry? No.
Do your parents vote? I know Mom does, idk about Dad.
Who's the most romantic person you ever went out with? Jason.
How would you react if your best friend was pregnant/got someone pregnant? That would be Girt so that would be a VERY quick breakup if it wasn't me. If it was me, I'd be fucking devastated, terrified, and get an abortion as absolutely soon as possible.
Have you ever seen the last person you kissed dressed up fancy? Possibly in high school on his senior picture day, but I don't remember it.
Did you have a dream last night? No, last night's sleep was totally peaceful.
Whatโ€™s something youโ€™ve always wanted to say to your ex? I haven't *always* wanted to say it, but for years now I've just wanted to tell him I'm so sorry.
What would you do if you saw a guy hit a girl? My VERY strong instinct says that I would absolutely storm over to them and deck him dead in the face. I very literally think I would. And then call the cops.
What is the last state you were in besides your own? Virginia.
What two breeds of dog do you think would make a really great puppy? Maybe like... an akita and chow-chow. I looked it up and apparently they're legit and I'm in love.
Who is the best person youโ€™ve ever โ€œmetโ€ online? That's too hard. I have met THE greatest people through the Internet.
Describe your elementary school in 10 words or less. Very invested in their students, extremely friendly, bright, fun.
What is the greatest kidsโ€™ show ever and why? Okay don't judge but when I'm watching my niece with Mom, she LOVES the showย Bluey, and honestly it is absolutely adorable and shows you such an ideal but also realistic picture of a good, honest, just picturesque family.
The best album ever made is ______ because _________: Ozzy'sย Black Rainย because you skip NO song. EVERY single one fucking slaps.
Did you ever see a scorpion in the wild? No, they're not native here.
What is the newest thing youโ€™ve learned? Two nights back at Girt's, we were talking about their old dog Charlotte and how much she fucking adored Donald; both Ashley and Shelia said that she did not just love him, that dog wasย inย love with him. Apparently Charlotte's ashes were buried next to Donald because that's what both would have wanted. ;___;
Name a state you have never been to, but would like to go to. Arizona, probably surprisingly. There is a number of native animals there I would REALLY like to see.
Name a word that people use locally that outsiders probably canโ€™t pronounce. Conetoe. You said it wrong.
Describe your world in 5 words. CONFUSING, stressful, poetic (not in all ways, but I'd say definitely in many), melancholy, but mine and one of a goddamn kind so I'll take it.
What time did you go to bed last night? Uh it was before 12. We played Jackbox Party Pack games for a few hours with some of his online buds, but he also tried excruciatingly spicy ramen, more than he should've because the psycho didn't wanna waste it but also to "build up [his] heat tolerance" and I was like BUT WHY?????? is that necessary????? Thankfully he knew I was right so didn't finish it and then he just wanted to go to bed lmao, he felt like shit.
Who did you last ride in a car with? Girt. Bless him, it's a 30 minute drive to his place and he was BELTIN shit which I usually don't mind at all, but between driving to his place and back, I got such a bad headache lol.
Are you currently heart broken? No, my heart is fuller than it normally is.
Do you know how to change a diaper? I mean, to be completely realistic I could probably figure it out, but immediately? No. I have changed ONE diaper in my entire life and never will again (and that one wasn't even very dirty).
Would you be tazed for a million bucks? Yes.
What is the most annoying thing that your parents do? My mom is always 100% certain she's right. Disagreeing is disrespect. My dad can be weird and sometimes rude to people, and he has no concept of "there are people who can hear you other than me" in public.
Do you completely trust the person youโ€™re dating? Yes.
When was the last time you received a hug? Who was this hug from? This morning, Girt.
Are you one of those people who likeย The Nightmare Before Christmas? I do, but nowhere near obsessively or even as much as people seem to think I do. The movie is fine, but it's nothing amazing, honestly. Coincidentally, both my phone's lock and home screen are scenes from the movie, lol. Just for the holiday.
What is your favourite type of nut? Idk, I really don't like nuts very much. I guess cashews, I can handle them fine in like, nut/grain/etc. bars.
Where did you eat the best pizza youโ€™ve ever eaten in your life? Guys I am not fucking kidding, it was literally at an indoor trampoline park sort of place that hosts parties, lmao. We went there for Girt's nephew's party, and that pizza, everything about it, was BOMB.
Did you ever watchย The Rugratsย when you were a kid? Oh yes, loved it.
Do you know anyone who smokes in their car? Dad and Kim.

(puts on my best suit) new midnight series update i'm ready
mumbo's backstory:( my poor boy, he's already lost so much. at least he has grian now and he can feel loved again<3 (there's also another idiot who loves him but he doesn't know that yet) and vampire lore!! everytime you introduce some new fantasy lore stuff it just scratches my brain bc it all makes so much sense and is so interesting to read
OH MY GOD TUBBO IS SCAR'S APPRENTICE. AND SON APPARENTLY??? MY BOYYY HEUSYSEY ive only had midnight!tubbo for a day but i will do evil things if something bad ever happens to him . his relationship with scar is so cute god i couldn't stop smiling when i was reading the first chapter<3 of course scar saw a scared and lonely kid and said "is anyone gonna become his father figure" and didn't wait for an answer. he probably saw himself in tubbo and it's obvious he cares a lot about him :(
tubbo calling mumbo scar's favorite customer, i just know scar is giggling and twirling his hair everytime he talks about mumbo or visits him LMAO and tubbo has heard enough ๏ฟผ
poor grian, he worries about scar so much</3 tbh i don't think you can react normally to an information like this help it would be eating anyone alive and he would tell mumbo sooner or later. it was scar's thing to tell, obviously, but also scar would literally never tell it to mumbo knowing him soooโ€ฆ. oh and also. i wonder if mumbo put two and two together and realized that that's the reason scar purposefully pushed him away
scar really is too forgiving, he's such a good person i love him so much<3 i think he deserves to yell sometimes. and be feral and insane and hiss at people. as a treat<3
they went on another totally-not-date!! scar's reaction to mumbo and grian dating was exactly what i expected lmaoo and grian canโ€™t understand why scar isn't upset about this but knowing scar, he probably accepted the fact that he will never have mumbo in this way years ago . or so he thinks . and all he wants is the best for him, and for grian too of course
AND OHHHG SCAR IS ROYALTY!! AN ELVEN PRINCE it just keeps getting more interesting. every new scar lore just makes me love him more ahhh my silly guy <3 also loved the paragraph about scar being pretty, sooo true! grian is just having more Gay Thoughts every update, i need to tell him that polyamory would fix 99 of his problems right now .
they invited scar to a sleepover at the manor awww they're so sweet i'm sorry i love them so much. i'm totally normal about them yeah . your characterization is just so good<3
i hope you will enjoy yet another essay from me in your inbox . do i need a signoff, i can't think of anything cool lmaoo
Got home to my computer, now I'm ready-
Mumbo has lost so much </3 He has terrible coping mechanisms and has never told anyone before so opening up about it to Grian is such a huge step and also super important to their relationship as a whole considering this is The Topic he snapped at Grian about jhgfdjk </3 but he's gonna heal and be so loved, it'll be amazing <3 I love fantasy lore so much and building my own lore overtop the common tropes and tossing tropes I don't like/that make zero sense even with magic is so fun to me <3 Next update will contain some magic lore again I am hype it might also have some foreshadowing hehehee-
YASSSSSS CCTubbo's "Scar is one of my favorite content creators and I'm too nervous to talk to him" and CCScar's "[DSMP] is the next gen of MCYT and they're good people"/"I'd love to talk to Tubbo we can be nervous together" (all paraphrased ofc lmao) kicked down my bedroom door and demanded Midnight!Tubbo be Midnight!Scar's kid/apprentice <3 Hahaa don't worry nothing bad will ever happen to Midnight!Tubbo :) <3 :) Oh Scar absolutely saw himself in Tubbo, a scared and lonely kid with abandonment issues and friends that don't stay and felt unwanted....... :) He rly said "I am gonna make sure that kid has everything" hjgfhdj (I am so excited to get to the part where they're physically in the same room and Grian and Mumbo get to hear Scar's Dad Voice(TM) <3)
Scar thinks he hides it well but Tubbo Knows(TM). He knows his dad and is, as most children are, lowkey disturbed that dad has a crush lmao-
Yeah there was no way Grian could be like "oh okay that's fine" cuz Grian literally wrote a letter along the lines of "Greetings Apprentice! Scar is injured and almost died but he is recovering now and will be back in a few weeks" like super impersonal, barely informative, and like- if Scar had died he would have written that impersonal "dear apprentice I regret to inform you that your teacher has passed" AND IT'S ACTUALLY HIS SON- and then of course there's also the part where Scar just. Didn't tell him about such a huge part of his life like- But yeah, Scar would never have willingly told Mumbo and Grian needed to talk to someone who isn't Scar so </3 Mumbo is a very intelligent man, thankfully he catches on quick, so between "it's for the best" and "of course I care" and "he's dying" he's probably connected the dots in some form or fashion <3
Scar deserves to let loose but he has so much self-control (well, when it actually matters-) and really he forgives way too easily (though there is... one person he can never forgive......) but to him life's too short and precious to spend it angry and hanging on to a grudge <3 (contrast with Mumbo, who holds onto a grudge so well that he still sends Cleo a tacky tie once a year for them insulting his tie Once) Scar gets to hiss more don't worry >:3 He has more feral moments, and some VERY feral moments that really cement the fact he is, definitely and without a doubt, Fae- hahaa >:3
Totally-not-a-dates are the best bonding experiences really <3 Scar is so chill, he has not a jealous bone in his body and like you said, no matter how much he loves Mumbo he gave up on that the same moment he realized it </3 One day... one day... He thinks they're so good together, he knows they bring out the best in each other and have helped each other heal and move on, to him it's only natural it's the two of them <3
YEEPPP which I did for both story/plot purpose and irony purposes hahaa I love when the person with the highest status/most power is the one who is definitely not in control *cough* sorry not sorry- Grian really be like "ahh Mumbo's so pretty" *dates Mumbo* "holy crap Scar is pretty too wtf" but he can't say anything bc he has no frikkin clue how Mumbo would react or how Scar would react and he's a Gay Disaster with bad communication skills really <3 Can we blame him tho <3
yessss sleepover <3 Just casual hanging out <3 you know as the average ~30y/o does <3 They live in my head rent-free all I could think about at work today was Them and I have spent each break I had writing <3 hhhh thank you so muchhh <3
I absolutely enjoyed every second of it and I hope you enjoy my essay in response <3 Haha if you need a signoff it would totally be Essay Anon (/pos ofc I love it <3) but I don't think you need a signoff, I know you when I see you Anon <3

E&T Atonement AU-How Far Youโ€™ve Fallen
Oh boy itโ€™s teatime
โ†Previous -ย Erebus & Terror Masterlistย - Nextโ†’
Ingredients: noncon touching (unsexy)
What heโ€™d expected when heโ€™d been dragged into an empty room and had his wrists chained to the ground in front of him, he wasnโ€™t sure. For a few minutes he simply knelt there alone, left to wonder if it was going to be pain, humiliation, or some twisted combination of the two. He looked up as Neteri entered, but when he saw who was with her, he turned away as if he had been struck, arms pulling vainly against the short chain anchoring them to the floor. Why was sheย here he didnโ€™t want her to see him like this and how was she even-
โ€œSo, this is whatโ€™s become of you, huh?โ€ He refused to look at her even as she crouched in front of him, fighting to keep his tears from spilling out.
โ€œWhat are you doing here?โ€ he whispered.
โ€œOh come on, is that how you greet me now? Gone for a month and youโ€™ve already lost all your mannersโ€ฆโ€ Hesitantly, his gaze slid over to meet hers, though he still kept his face turned away.
โ€œH-hello...Aunt Almira.โ€ She gave him an amused smile.
โ€œHello, little nephew.โ€ Her hand cupped his cheek, gently turning his face towards her. โ€œHmm, you donโ€™t look as much like Elisenda anymore with your hair short like this. Regardless, I amย happy to see that you survived. Iโ€™d hoped you would when I helped the Empire invade-โ€
โ€œYou what?โ€ he gasped. Almira sighed.
โ€œI did it to reduce casualties. There was no way we could ever hope to defeat an army like Xernaโ€™s, and I didnโ€™t want to sacrifice our men needlessly.โ€
โ€œT-thatโ€™s why it all happened so fast thatโ€™s why they knew-โ€
โ€œIt was my way of helping. Trust me, this was for the best.โ€ She gently thumbed away the tears that had started silently falling from his eyes. โ€œMy sister was always too soft on you, and I canโ€™t imagine things would have gone well once you ascended the throne. But now, Berkรฉ can have a real future as part of the Empire, and youโ€™re somewhere where you canโ€™t do any damage with a nice owner who will take good care of you. Drottkia knows you couldnโ€™t do it yourself.โ€ Almira let go of him and stood, looking down with a hint of disdain. โ€œYou were never fit to be king.โ€
โ€œI know.โ€ The words come out automatically, before he even realizes what heโ€™s saying. But thatโ€™s the truth, isnโ€™t it?ย 
It is.
This is how everything is supposed to be.
Heโ€™s right where he belongs.

#i wrote something#erebus & terror#atonement au#erebus#neteri#noncon touching#betrayal cw#whump#royalty whump#lmao yeah one of the reasons he's so upset about his hair is he doesn't look like his mom anymore :)#neteri is literally just having gay panic in the corner the whole time#almira is strong military lady#if this were normal circumstances neteri would be like#''erebus your aunt is really hot''#and erebus would just be ''neteri if you hook up with my AUNT i will kill you''#and if it turned into something more and then suddenly neteri is also erebus's aunt#god that would be fucking hilarious. just out here experimenting on my nephew!#see i dont make *all* of my crack content canon because this 100% will not be#i already know who neteri's wife is and it's not almira ๐Ÿ˜” but the aunt au can be a thing on the side#also: is almira based heavily on general amaya from tdp? fucking maybe#general amaya is like actually a good aunt tho we stan her#if you know who that is no you dont (actually no come talk to me i love tdp be my friend)#if you dont know who that is and you like women look her up and you can thank me later#it's canon that almira sorta betrayed the kingdom but i dont think erebus ever actually findsout#she really thought it was the best course of action to keep her men from dying in what she figured would be a pointless struggle#and she's always thought erebus was too soft to be a good ruler#she didn't necessarily *want* him to get fucking tortured though but no way is she setting him free#and oh look at that he's broken now#which means we're almost done here

I have so much power now omg
I still might answer anonymously bc i switch between two accs not blogs
anyway here, sum more Asmoday!Diluc and his mum
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they're both just chaos and i love that for them
also the main inspo i got for Eldritch Diluc is from an ongoing Kaeluc fanfic and a rlly underrated oneshot of eldritch Diluc
Klc one here
oneshot here
And yeah, Eldritch!Diluc being emotionally inept would fit, he has basic common sense, as should everyone, but emotions? may Celestia help the poor soul who's being comforted by Eldritch Diluc he doesn't fully understand what's so upsetting about breaking up with someone you used to love, can't you just move on?? well he knows it makes people sad but he really doesn't know how to make em feel better other than a couple of words and awkward back patting
and for an excuse to continue to slander Crepus in this au, Crepus's wife in this one finds Diluc shortly before Crepus finds Kaeya
because storms and their meaning are so intertwined with Diluc's story i think she would have found Diluc in a storm, and one may think "wouldn't he be an adult?" well you see, i think he would've settled for a child form to make himself appear more harmless to others, he cannot die yes but he can feel pain so he wouldn't want people to panic from an adult appearing seemingly out of nowhere looking so human and yet so wrong in the littlest ways, hitting the uncanny valley mechanism of our minds
so anyway, Crepus and his Wife(I'll just call her Umbra, which is a way of saying night in Latin) were in different locations during this storm, Umbra in the forest hill w/ the statue of the 7 near dawn winery and Crepus returning from the city, i think she would have been just vibing around the statue before the storm hit, and when it did she ran to the winery but came across Diluc who went out of his home(more like cave) to see the rain, and because this is a child out in the storm and is possibly freezing Umbra takes Diluc with her to the winery
Meanwhile on the way back from the city(probably idk) Crepus comes across Kaeya and takes him in then. Basically, both of them came across the boys same day different times and locations
and i do not have a clear outline for why but i think Crepus would have somewhat distanced Umbra from Diluc and Kaeya, i think maybe cuz their relationship is already strained and that they've been trying for a child(an heir to Crepus's perspective) for a long while now but since Diluc came along, a boy with red hair and eyes that can perfectly be passed for being that of the Ragnvindrs and Kaeya being a suitable support for Diluc as he would be clingy to Diluc(reason is: Kaeya feels Diluc is powerful and even a tad bit unnerving, but Diluc doesn't seem to wanna hurt him so Kaeya chooses to cling onto him so that he could be protected) or even a backup
but I think when Crepus was gonna bond with Diluc he got unnerved by the kid(?) because he seems to know more than he lets on(he doesn't know everything, but the world does and it sings to him, teaches him. [That's how he cheats in tests lmao, he asks the world "what's 2 ร— 12?" and the world sighs and replies "24" /j] ) and because of that he would've slowly shifted his focus on Kaeya but tbh Diluc doesn't mind he just wants an excuse to visit drapgonspine (the stories the world sings here is very interesting according to him)
He is true eternal, omnipresent not in the way of knowing everything, but existing even if the concept is diminished, and he is very inept with emotions
i think Diluc and Kaeya wouldn't have that stormy night fight in the way many depict it per se, but it's a truly one-sided fight from Kaeya's side, trying to have at Diluc and get him to kill Kaeya once an for all but maybee, just maybee- when Kaeya gets his vision in the peak of the moment he cuts Diluc's head off, and he would be horrified, absolutely horrified, but then Diluc's body waltzes over to his head picks it up, and just places it back effortlessly, he still gives sounds of pain when he gets his head back tho, can't exactly scream when ur away from ur lungs
Diluc would have ran away tho bc of Kaeya's horrified expression, and that 3-4 year journey is rage but mostly at himself. he still goes on that murder spree tho, every Diluc deserves a cathartic quest of Fatui and Abyss order mass genocide
anywaayyy- that's all!!
-Leyline!Anon (still tagging this at the end so i don't forget with my other acc when I'm actually on anon!!)
Tumblr media
I'm honestly terrified of the power you now hold.
But I kind of love the idea that Kaeya can feel Diluc is powerful and something not human. And in a fit of emotion trying to take on Diluc and honestly really seeing Diluc's abilities.
And Diluc just. Taking his head and leaving.
Then when Diluc comes back. Kaeya can tell. Yes, Diluc. In some small way was hurt by their fight. He hasn't said much to Kaeya but hasn't threatened him or anything. It's an exciting twist on their dynamic.

Drama Class
Tumblr media
Genre: Collage AU!, Acting AU!, Drama, Angst, Fluff, Smut
Summary: Drama class has always been your safe space, a place for you to show off your amazing acting abilities, but when the new student, Kim Seokjin, joins your class, you find it hard to keep up.
Warnings: handjob, sex without protection, language... I think that's it :/
Word count: 1,5K
Finally, the second to last class of the day is almost over. You stare at the clock, waiting for it to hit 1:20 pm. Then, at 1:19, you finally hear it.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
You pick up your things and launch out of your boring Calculus class, heading o your favorite class of the day. Drama class. On your way there, however, you bump into some kid who is obviously not watching where he's going. Just as you go to tell him off he says,
"I'm so sorry, I'm trying to find my last class, uhh, room 304. Do you happen to know where that is?"
"Actually, yes I'm headed there now. You can come with me. Drama class right?"
"Yes, thank you.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t mention it.โ€
You both walk to drama class very awkwardly. Once you guys get inside he sits right next to you, making you uncomfortable. He looks at you and whispers while the teacher is explaining the improve assignment for the day.
"My name is Jin by the way. You?"
"Oh, I'm y/n."
"Very pretty name y/n. How long have you been acting? Personally I like to act but I like singing way more. I actually take these vocal lessons andโ€ฆโ€
God, he talks a lot, you think to yourself. You ignore him and ask the teacher to go to bathroom, needing a serious break from his constant talking. When you come back to class you see that kid Jin making everyone laugh with his improve skills. Even your teacher was getting along with him perfectly, as if he had been in this class since the beginning of the school year. This definitely made you upset. That should be you in front of the class, humoring people with your improve skills. Who does he think he is to show up and come for your spot like that?
As the school year continued, your dislike for Jin only grew stronger. In drama class, he always got the main roles. He looked at you with a smile that you greatly despise. Maybe your paranoia was getting to you but something was telling you that behind that smile was a person who was selfish and deviant. These thoughts led you to distance yourself from him, making smart remarks whenever he would practice or perform. He didn't really know your reasons for hating him but he knew for sure that you did.
On your way to drama class make eye contact with Jin who is talking to someone down the hall. You quickly break eye contact and speed down the hall as he tries to catch up with you.
"y/n! wait up!"
When Jin finally catches up you both walk in silence until he speaks up.
"have you been okay lately?" he asks you. "You hardly show up to drama class and when you do no one really notices, well except me.โ€
"oh yeah, I'm okay. I just kinda gave up."
"what? why? you love acting."
"Because... you showed up"
"Wow. you know, I had I feeling you didn't like me for some reason, but why? I have done nothing to!"
You both stop walking, now raising your voice in the middle of the hallway.
"Done nothing to me? Ever since you joined the class you have made everything difficult for me! You take my spot in class. You get all of the main roles. Why does everything come easy for you? You can't just-"
Jin cuts you off by wrapping his arms around your waist and passionately kissing you, you kissing him back. He smiles into the kiss and you slowly pull away.
"I'm sorry that I made you feel that way. It wasn't my intention, I swear.โ€
"Well you did", you say trying to still stay mad at him.
"I guess I just wanted to impress you, and everyone else, but more importantly you." You look at him confusingly. Why would he do that? I mean itโ€™s understandable that he show what he can do to the teacher, but why was your opinion so important?
"Impress me? Why would you feel the need to impress me?"
"Because y/l/n y/n, if you havenโ€™t noticed yet, I like you. I mean I really wanted to get to know you but you started ghosting me and-"
You pull him in for another kiss, cutting him off. He kisses you back and wraps his arms around your waist, smiling into the kiss.
"I like you too Kim Seokjin. I guess it just took me a while to realize it. And Iโ€™m sorry for being so jealous towards you. I can be a little oblivious and in my head sometimes."
"A little?" He remarks.
You giggle like a a little school girl and playfully hit his arm. You wonder what will happen now that you both have expressed your feelings for each other. Would you go on a date? Or maybe he doesn't want to be with you after you judged him. As if he could read your mind he says,
"Drama class is over in like 10 minutes so there's no real point in going. How about I take you to one of my favorite thinking spots on campus?" You smile and nod. With that he grabs your hand and gently pulls you out of the back doors of the main building, guiding you a secluded tree in the Uni's garden. Surrounding the tree are beautiful roses and tulips.
"Wow, this is so pretty", you say, sitting next to Jin in the grass. "How often do you come here?"
"Pretty often. I usually come here when I need to clear my head or ponder on things. It's always quiet over here, easy for me to just take a break from everything."
You gaze over at Jin, who is playing with the tulips next to him. He looks so perfect. With the sun beaming on one side of his face and the wind blowing his silky hair. You feel like you've fallen in love, not just because of his appearance but also because of his wise words. When he realized how quiet you were being he turns toward you, only to catch you staring at him.
"Everything okay?"
"Kiss me."
He laughs at your sudden comment. "do what?" he says.
You smile at him. "I said kiss me dork."
He waste no time and does what he's told, entangling his hands in your hair and kissing you softly. The soft kiss turns in to a heated make out session under the tree. You climb onto his lap and shower his neck with kisses and love bites. As much as he wants to take it further he stops you there.
"Not now baby, later."
"Please, I'll be quick I promise", you respond, slowly grinding on his lap.
"Fuck", he moans. "5 minutes."
You start back up kissing on his neck while unbuttoning and pulling the zipper down on his pants. "Fuck, I'm so needy right now". He groans quietly as you palm his hardening cock through his boxers.
"If you dont stop teasing baby I swear I will fuck you right against this tree", he says, grabbing your hand and putting it in his boxers. You take the hint and pull his underwear down for his erection to spring free (ya'll I giggled lmao). You use the precum already spilling out of his cock and move your hand up and down his length slowly, earning a moan from Jin.
"Shit ,baby please."
You decide to tease him a bit more. "please, what?"
"I need you pussy so bad right now, please." You suddenly remove you hand from Jin's cock, making him whimper, and slide your pants down along with your underwear. Aligning his throbbing cock with your heat, you slowly go down on him, causing a string of cuss words to come out of Jin's mouth.
"mm, baby your so big, fuck", you moan quietly in his ear. Finally, you start to ride his cock, making him grab tightly onto your waist. He moans when you start to suck on his neck, leaving even more hickeys on his collarbone. You reach your hand down and play with your clit, moaning in Jin's ear.
"Shit- I'm gonna come y/n", he exclaims. You ride him a little faster and use your free hand rub his nipples. he moans your name loudly, cumming inside you. you follow him soon after, convulsing on his cock, moaning his name. He gently pushes you off his cock, becoming too sensitive. "Well, I can checking fucking under a tree off of my bucket list", Jin says playfully. You laugh while getting up and putting your clothes back on. Jin does the same, buttoning his pants back up.
"So, are you free tomorrow night?"
"Depends. Is it a date or a booty call?"
He laughs until he realized you weren't joking. "A date of course."
You start to walk away, heading back home. Before you go you yell over to him. "Sure. I'll be ready by 8, don't be late."

A/n: Yes I know this is poorly written but personally I think I'm getting better :) I'll have a jk fic ready for you guys sometime this week.

Politely asking for the 300 pages of Matt headcanons
they're not 300 pages (sadly) but it's the sequel to that hc posts i said i was gonna make a part 2 of
So
Lets GO
- Gets lost in his thoughts a lot. Sometimes you can find him silently staring at the void before being snapped out of it.
- Let's start off with one hc I literally thought about a few minutes ago lmao
The only "things" left from him being a vampire are the incredibly pale skin and the side powers: meaning super strength, super speed, enhanced senses, telepathy and mind control. NONE of them are useful to him in anyway let's be real here (especially mind control)
and not only that, his hyperactivity skyrockets the speed and agility related powers
- I guess this ties in with this sort of alternate future timeline i have in mind with my hcs? but well, Matt can be a very great liar and manipulator. And not-so secretly wishes to take over the world, mostly for fame and all that junk that comes afterwards. Yknow, people praising him for being an amazing leader. which leads him to keep the time machine from wtfuture hidden somewhere. And going by the comics? He probably built one if that got destroyed for any reasons.
- He drinks sometimes. He has stolen Tom's drinks more than once and surprisingly enough, he has a decent resistance to it. But he becomes even more chaotic when drunk lmao
-out of the 4, he's the one who openly expresses his feelings the most. It's pretty easy to understand what he's currently feeling. He's very expressive when it comes to facial expressions and talking, meaning he probably even gestures when speaking (italian matt real?) and of course, he mostly doesn't think before speaking. He swears like a sailor. He tries to keep some kind of "elegant" or "sophisticated" language but in reality he would create a new swear just for you. He also makes up words, and he's 100% convinced the word he said was right.
-He has probably tried to dye his hair in his teens. He failed miserably, and had to cut his hair. Speaking of teenage years, yes, he had an emo phase because I said so
-When it comes to love, he goes through DEEP denial. He would rather insult his crush than admitting that he loves someone else that isn't himself. But once the denial phase is gone, he becomes a clingy ass motherfucker and a huge sweetheart at the same time. Even thought it IS kind of difficult for him to express his love for someone fully. And might accidentally put his lover down when he's being vain once again. Hard times not gonna lie. Matt is usually the one coming up with stuff to do with his partner and in general, he comes up with stuff that the partner doesn't necessarily agree on doing.
- You CAN guess who Matt goes along best in the household, and also who can read him like a book. Just look at my blog ffs
- When he's upset or pissed, he just keeps his >:( face. He isn't led to tears easily, despite being extremely expressive.
-His memory is EXTREMELY bad. He keeps thousands of notes and phone alarms for everything, he has skipped a lot of appointments (even important ones) due to his awful short time and working memory.
-Matt's hair is naturally messy, like very messy. Only hair gel or cutting it can make it less messy. So yeah, when he keeps a mullet he has like an insane amount of gel.
-Going back on the manipulation stuff, Matt knows exactly what to say to break you. He remembers secrets and all that junk from his friends, he'd pull a "you would never do that, would you?" when he wants.
-Hobbies? film making. He made films canonically, he loves to experiment his skills and has TRIED to take a few classes there and there. He has tried drawing aswell, but it doesn't really stick. It's very complicated ngl- He's more headed towards creative hobbies, though. Has tried cooking, but he burnt the house. He also tried some fashion design stuff, following his mother's steps, but nope, none of that worked
-Family time once again!! His biological parents are divorced, and he's an only child, but with a lot of cousins there and there. His father (who i once called Harold in an old au of mine jdhsk) divorced with his biological mother shortly after the incident where Matt was dropped. He later remarried another woman, and Matt honestly considers her to be his actual mother. His parents are both really protective of their child and just want him to grow a pair at times. They've spoiled him to hell and back, but then one day decided "HEY how about YOU try to get some money and buy what you want YOURSELF"
That's,,, all i can think of rn and i'm sure I have some more that I don't remember right in this very moment, and i'll probably rememeber when i hit post ofc

We All Have Secrets
Tumblr media
Request: Yes or No
Finally gonna give the straights some attention lmao. Also, I'm not completely sure what (Y/N)'s secret should be so suggestions would be appreciated.
TW: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia
~
(Y/N) looked down at his phone, smiling softly as he walked. He quickly answered a text from Isabela.
'Isa, just tell them to keep it a secret. Nat and Mari would never tell anyone. Raul wouldn't tell anyone either.'
"Baby!" Maria called, smiling widely as she approached him. (Y/N) slid his phone into his pocket, arms wrapping around his girlfriend and lifting her up. Maria giggled, leaning in and kissing him gently. (Y/N) put her down, tucking a strand of Maria's black hair behind her ear. Maria's gaze softened, forehead resting against (Y/N)s.
"Hey, lovebirds!" Dario called, waving them over. (Y/N) chuckled, taking Maria's hand and pulling her along towards where their friends were sat at.
"Why can you two be like Maria and (Y/N)? They don't try eating each other's faces off every five seconds." Dario crossed his arms, looking at Isabela and Pablo. Isabela scoffed and rolled her eyes while Pablo chuckled. (Y/N) sat down, smiling when Maria sat on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at their friends.
"How did the Nona thing go?" (Y/N) asked softly, gazing at his girlfriend. Maria hummed, smiling.
"I think Nat did a great job." Maria shrugged lightly, pecking his cheek before she opened her lunch bowl. Maria got some of her salad, raising it up to (Y/N)'s lips. (Y/N) smiled, opening his mouth and happily taking the food. Natalia leaned forward, frowning and looking at Gerry.
"What's up with Rosita? Why is she coming over here? Is she gonna be sitting with us everyday?" Natalia asked, disgust evident in her voice. Gerry ignored her, grinning widely and extending his arms towards the girl.
"Hey, how are you?" Gerry asked as Rosita approached them and sat on his lap. (Y/N) shared a look with Maria, chuckling softly and shaking his head. Natalia blinked in shock as Rosita and Gerry began to make out.
"Gerardo! Gerardo, stop it! Seriously? If you're gonna be doing this, find somewhere else." Natalia huffed, glaring at the couple.
"Don't be envious." Rosita said, pulling away and looking at her.
"It's not personal, Rosita. If someone sees you here, they'll think anyone can sit with us." Natalia said, shaking her head lightly. Rosita scoffed, rolling her eyes and standing. As she walked by, she knocked over Natalia's new purse.
"Don't you know how much this cost, idiot?" Natalia huffed, picking up her purse. Maria frowned, shaking her head.
"Oh, just leave her alone already. Poor Rosita." Maria said. Natalia scoffed.
"Poor Rosita what? She needs to learn her place." Natalia grumbled, zipping up her purse. Isabela turned her head, looking at (Y/N).
"Hey, (Y/N), you want something from the vending machine?" She asked, brow quirking. (Y/N) got the hint, nodding.
"Yeah, sure." He smiled, looking at Maria. Maria licked her lips, standing up so (Y/N) could get up.
"You want something, gorgeous?" (Y/N) asked, giving her a small smile. Maria shook her head, returning the smile as she sat down. Maria watched Isabela and (Y/N) walk away, slight jealousy bubbling in her stomach. She tried pushing the feeling away, knowing (Y/N) and Isabela were just good friends.
"Why wouldn't Pablo want me to come out to my friends?" Isabela asked, frowning and she looking at (Y/N). (Y/N) licked his lips, shrugging.
"Lots of reasons.. He's not ready, he doesn't want the news to spread, he thinks he'll get shit for it." (Y/N) listed off, taking out a dollar and looking over the snacks. Isabela sighed, scratching her forehead.
"All I heard was him, him, him. What about me?" Isabela shook her head, frown on her face as she sighed deeply. (Y/N) got some dortitos, looking at Isabela.
"Don't stress, Isa. You do what you want. If I were you, I wouldn't tell Gerry or the other two idiots. They're already misogynistic and homophobic. You know how they treat Luis who has never done anything to them. They still make jokes about me cheating on Maria with a guy." (Y/N) frowned, opening the bag of chips.
"I just.. I don't want Pablo to get mad at me." Isabela said, rubbing her arm. (Y/N) hummed, sighing.
"Well, Maria can keep a secret. You can start by telling her." (Y/N) said softly. Isabela gave a small smile and nodded, getting a small snack and heading back as lunch ended. Maria perked up when she saw her boyfriend, smiling.
"I saved you some salad." She said softly as (Y/N) picked up his backpack. He smiled, pecking her lips and taking the bowl from her.
"Thanks, baby." (Y/N) cooed. Maria giggled, nodding. She glanced at Isabela, licking her lips. She looked at (Y/N), head tilting.
"You guys were gone for a bit. What did you talk about?" Maria asked, picking up her bag. (Y/N) finished eating, handing the bowl back to her and closing the bag of chips. He slid it into his backpack, shrugging.
"Typical gossip stuff." (Y/N) replied, looking at her. Maria grabbed his arm, waving to their friends. They started heading to class.
"I wish I had a friendship like you and Isa's." Maria said, resting her head against his arm. (Y/N) chuckled, glancing at her.
"Me and Isa have been friends since we were kids. Our mother's have always been friends so it's only natural that we're friends too." (Y/N) shrugged, looking forward. Maria looked at (Y/N), giving him a small grin.
"Let's go to the janitors closet." Maria cooed, standing infront of him. (Y/N) cocked a brow, chuckling.
"Alright."
(Y/N) looked at Quintanilla, boredly listening to his speech about cellphone use. He sighed softly, looking at Maria. Maria looked back at him, leaning over and kissing him. (Y/N) hummed, kissing her back. They pulled back when they heard a distorted male voice coming from the video.
"Who is Isabela De La Fuente?" (Y/N) furrowed his brows, glancing at Isabela. He watched the video, dread filling his stomach when he realized the direction it was going. Whoever had made it, did it with the intent on outing Isabela as trans. Students began shouting insults and asked Isabela questions. Isabela quickly stood, leaving the auditorium. (Y/N) stood up, following her out.
"Isa, wait!" (Y/N) called out, hearing Maria and Natalia calling for her as well. Isabela rushed into the bathroom. (Y/N) stopped infront of it, frowning.
"We'll take care of her, babe. Don't worry." Maria assured him, kissing him softly and entering the bathroom with her sister. (Y/N) looked at his phone, seeing people already posting about it. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He turned his head, noticing two girls trying to listen in.
"Don't you two have better things to do? Are your lives so boring that you have to be in other peoples business?" (Y/N) asked, cocking a brow. The girls scoffed and walked away, mumbling between themselves. (Y/N) watched Pablo and the other boys approach the bathroom.
"Did you know she was a dude?" Ernesto asked him. (Y/N) scoffed, rolling his eyes.
"Are you fucking blind or stupid?" (Y/N) asked, glaring at him as he straightened up. Isabela stepped out of the bathroom, teary eyes settling on Pablo. She went to hug him but Pablo gently pushed her back.
"How could you do this to me?" Pablo asked as Ernesto, Dario, and Gerry made more comments.
"What do you mean?" Isabela asked, brows furrowing.
"Yeah, nobody told us you had a dick." Gerry said, shrugging.
"Shut up, asshole." Isabela huffed, glaring at Gerry. Pablo swallowed, licking his lips as he glanced at the guys.
"I mean, you lied." Pablo shrugged. Isabela stared at him in shock, betrayal written all over her face.
"No, I didn't."
"I trusted you." Pablo shook his head. Isabela scoffed, stepping away from him and glancing at their friends.
"You're a fucking asshole." Isabela glared at Pablo, walking away from him with the others following. One of the teachers, Susana, gently hugged her and took her away from the others. (Y/N) looked at Pablo, shaking his head.
"Way to go, dipshit." (Y/N) snapped at him, feeling Maria gently place her hand on his chest and step infront of him.
"Let's make sure Isa is okay, baby." Maria encouraged lightly, not wanting them to fight. She gently took his hand, pulling him away. Isabela was allowed to go home early so her parents picked her up. (Y/N) took out his car keys, approaching his car. He glanced up at Pablo.
"Did you know?" Pablo asked quietly. (Y/N) unlocked his car, opening the door and hitting Pablo with it. Pablo grunted softly, rubbing his arm.
"Of course I fucking knew. Isabela is like a sister to me. You can go to hell for that shit you pulled." (Y/N) barked, tossing his backpack inside.
"Baby, can I stay over at your place?" Maria asked, lifting her dress a bit and jogging over to them. (Y/N) nodded, motioning to his car while holding eye contact with Pablo. Pablo broke it, looking at the ground.
"Get in." Maria went around, opening the passenger door and getting in. She took off her bag, placing it on her lap. (Y/N) got in, closing the door and reversing.
"Pablo-"
"He did it to save his own ass. No wonder he didn't want Isabela to tell you guys. He was embarrassed." (Y/N) scoffed, knuckles whitening from his grip on the wheel. Maria frowned, taking his hand and gently kissing it.
"I hate it when you're upset." Maria mumbled, thumb running over (Y/N)'s knuckles. (Y/N) let out a deep sigh, shoulders slumping.
"How about we order some pizza and have a movie night?" Maria asked, smiling. (Y/N) shook his head lightly, licking his lips.
"Isa needs me." (Y/N) replied, gaze focused on the road. Maria sighed, leaning back against the seat. She looked away from him.
"What about me?" Maria asked softly, playing with her hair with her free hair. (Y/N) glanced at her, frowning.
"Princess..."
"I just feel like we haven't been on any dates recently." Maria shrugged, looking at him. She gave him a small smile.
"It's fine! We can spend the night at Isa's place or she can come over." Maria shrugged.
"No, I'll.. I'll give her a call. We can spend the rest of the day together." Maria smiled widely, nodding eagerly. She leaned over, kissing his cheek.
"Thank you, baby."
