♤Another astrological observations♤
Ps: i am still learning and astrology is a forever learning subject. It may or may not be relatable. :)
-------------------
•° solar return observations °•
Solar return 7th house- the sign in your 7th house of your solar return will probably be the one to backbitch/backstab you👀. For eg- having Sagittarius descendant, people with sag sun or prominent sag placements are likely going to do you very wrong. 😊🪰
SR Uranus in 1st- an apparent change in the appearance of the individual. Dying their hair, a haircut, change in the makeup looks, joining the gym, having skincare routine, etc.🦄😋
SR Jupiter in the 12th- spiritual enlightenment🧞‍♂️. Could be the time youre very sensitive to the energies of the people. Seeing spirits frequently👻. (Hack- wear black tourmaline for the shield against negative energies). This is the time when everything will be clear to you, the intentions of the people, their traits, their habits, their trauma🤠 (your's aswell).👽
SR moon in the 6th- sensitive to other people's words, their criticism, etc. Take care of your health at this time please. Eating disorder. Very moody. Might eat spicy food alot. 🥲
SR neptune in the 11th- the friends, peers, acquaintances you have, you'll be getting to know about them more clearly👀 in negative way ofcourse, Alot of deceiving, lying, manipulation, taking behind your back, cheating, blah blah blah.😗🪓🩸
SR Saturn in the 11th- yes you ARE GOING TO LOSE FRIENDS, even the closest friend you have🙃. I honestly LOVE Saturn whatever house it's in because it fucking slaps you so hard that you begin to see everyfuckingthing very clearly🤪😶‍🌫️. Its going to be hard for you but dont worry youre better of with little to no friends than lying poopies.💩💝
SR venus in the 1st- you're going to be every 2nd person's crush, like literally fr. You're guna appear more ethereal and soft to the other person, maybe innocent too which will make the other person wAnT tO pRoTeCt YoU aT aLL cOsT🥺 because to them you're vulnerable to the world😐😐😐😐.
SR mars in the 3rd- alot of fights with your siblings/ cousins/ childhood friends. Way of communication may be direct, more straight forward, could even be a little cruel ehe🤭. Probably guna put people in their fucking place. Humbling down people alot.💅
SR aquarius ascendant- very detached from the emotions. Its like giving yourself 5 minutes to feel everything then after that, stop feeling completely until the next year. ORRR.... you could be in your feelings for the 1st or last 6 months then the rest of the year? Nonchalant🧘(could be opposite).Your mood for the year: 'eehh'😐 'Okhay'😐 'Yeah'😐 'Mhm'😐 'No'😐 'Don't'😐 'Shut up'😐 'Can you leave me alone'😐 'Youre so annoying'😐 'Can you stop'😐 'Omg youre a fucking fe/male'😐. Might be the year you'll question your sexuality.
SR lilith in the 4th- watch your closest ones/ own family turn against you just cuz you stood up against their negativity and manipulation. Oof!! 😍😍😍THE BEST YEAR EVERRR!!!🥳🤯💋 Sarcasm intented. Theyre going to spread false rumors about you. Play victim card in the situations they create. Its like creating a problem for you to solve.🧍🏻‍♀️🧍‍♂️🗣
SR venus in the 5th- will attract ALOT of love interests👀🔥🧲 but since its a 5th house, it wont be long lasting. For girls: this placement can make guys crazily obsessed with you for monthsss beware as they can note down your every move (3 of my friends had this and the guys ended up following them home, it was scary). For guys: this can make girls want to be with you just bcz everyone wants you, youre the center of everyone's attention (cheating could be involved too👀)
SR Sun/mars/pluto in the 6th- take care of your health because; sun: can make you vulnerable to the evil eyes which could lead you to falling sick frequently🪰🧿. Mars: your anger, impulsiveness, all the othet martian feelings, can make you sick as well, so beware of your surroundings and your mental health🎭. Pluto: the jealousy with this can turn physical real quick✂️. And all three: JUST. TAKE. CARE. 😀 🫠
SR moon in the 7th- sweeeeettttt cravings will ⬆️⬆️. Feeling very joyful for no reason🌞. Feeling 'Butterfly in the stomach' frequently🦋. Lovesick🐕‍🦺.
SR mercury in the 5th- you could hear from a friend that a lot of "certain someone's" like you😊. Love to talk about your interests and hobbies. Involvement in frequent get-togethers, random friends meet💁🏻‍♀️.
SR saturn in the 8th- might deal with your own fears. Could be a triggering year for you🧘.
SR nn in the 9th/12th- frequent travels🗺. Might overthink alot about the world and the life (a lot of what's, why's, who's, how's, etc).
Wherever SR Jupiter is, you're expanding that. Like for eg- 5th house: your interests, might pursue your hobbies, or if you already are, lets say an artist, youll expand your art, the type of drawings you make. 2nd house: your business. Money. Self esteem. Confidence. 11th house: your friend circle, electronics, etc.
SR saturn/neptune in the 8th- out of nowhere setbacks, betrayal, cheating, etc are possible. BUT you WILL receive a news about CERTAIN SOMEONE which will make you question them🤫. Or youll get to know some f-ed up family secrets😗.
SR Scorpio ascendant- watch people getting intimated💁🏻‍♀️. You're guna hear rumorssss about youuu👀🤫. Random guys/girls approaching you with the intention of "hUmBLiNg YoU dOwN" 🗣💩 (ykwim).
SR venus in the 7th- randomly, out of nowhere, falling for someone veryyyy haaarrrdd🕳🚶🏻‍♀️.This usually happens within 3-5 months after your birthday.
Whereas... 😗
SR neptune/saturn in the 7th- showing you why you shouldn't have😊. (If i were you i wouldn't give them a 2nd chance, many people don't deserve it🧘. Pay attention if its their "traits" or "company" either way, you shouldn't forgive them because "traits" are self explanatory, they wont ever change, and if its the "company" affecting them then its guna be tiring for you and trust me you wouldn't want a person who is gullible🧍🏻‍♀️).
SR Uranus anywhere- sudden. Anything sudden. For the better or the worse🎭. Out of nowhere. Unexpected👀. The ex you didn't see? Here s/he comes💩. Job offer🌞. Oldest friend contacting you🏌‍♂️.realization about career path. Your personality, your looks. Family dynamics. Home, etc.
SR lilith/neptune in the 1st/5th/7th/8th/10th/11th- people be copying youuuu i seeee👀. Your secret enemies wanting to be you👀. Copying your style, outfit, skincare. Haircare, haircut, your hobbies, even your career path🤾‍♀️. Amd they'll still have the audacity to TELL YOU how you should be doing *insert what you're good at* 🧍🏻‍♀️🧍‍♂️like?????. Jealousy runs deeeppp 😶‍🌫️.

Gonna throw my hat into the ring here, as someone who very recently had a streamer they loved and supported go down for serious allegations and crimes. Feel free to skip around my long ass response, I'll break it down into parts:
---Public Reception
Part of the reason I despise these situations is because people online don't ever know enough to make 100% accurate assessments, but will act like they do anyway (I don't care if its authoritarian, I want a bill where people on Twitter can't post about drama until after at least 5 minutes of being forced to critically think). Having said that, here's my opinions on how everything should go forward:
-Shelby shared her story in order to spread awareness on domestic abuse and the signs, so that others can read those signs and keep themselves safe (or leave an actively abusive situation they've been convincing themselves isn't that bad). That is the priority here, that is what people should be focusing on. If you make this situation about stirring drama with the other CCs, you're a dumbass and you need to stop posting. Give support to Shelby, uplift the voices of women like her sharing their stories, spread awareness on what domestic abuse can look like so everyone can learn, and wait for more information. Its that simple.
-CCs don't owe statements for conflicts they weren't involved in. Philza, Tommy, Quackity, Charlie, and other CCs close to Wilbur who aren't part of this don't owe you an explanation. They're people, they're most likely having to come to terms with the fact that a dear friend, someone who could've been like family, isn't who they thought he was. Have a fucking heart and cut it with the parasocial entitlement. I'm hoping Quackity will remove Wilbur from the Qsmp, but just like with Forever, he probably won't make a big announcement of it, and that's perfectly ok. I understand wanting to make sure you're not supporting a CC who would defend someone guilty of committing domestic abuse, but its still not your right to get anything from these people. If they share, they share. If not, then they don't. If you can't handle that, then leave.
-Having said the above, its worth noting that CCs aren't just a fun group of friends, they're coworkers. Much of what they say publicly and when they say it can be shaped or restricted by situations that can affect their careers or get them in legal trouble. You don't know these people personally or what goes on behind the scenes, its a network and you can't measure their responses the same way you would your own opinion piece. The CCs will always need to be careful about how they respond to an issue, and they will most likely respond in "safe" ways considering what's on the line. Not accusing anyone of anything, nor demonizing them for it, just something to keep in mind. They're human, but they're also working a job.
-If you have Lovejoy or Wilbur-related merch, DON'T THROW IT AWAY OR DESTROY IT. I've seen lots of people pointing out merch can be donated to thrift shops or shelters, and its more eco-friendly than burning or trashing. Remember, anything can be repurposed; a book, a hoodie, there's always someone who can find a use for it. Likewise if you want to keep your old merch, that's fine to. You can wear it if it brings you comfort, or if its something you just like the look of. As long as you're not supporting the source, you already have the merch so don't let people pressure you into thinking you're bad for keeping it if you're not ready to let go/throw away those $70.
---My Opinion Regarding His Response
Everyone and their cousin has been dogpiling on Wilbur's response (rightfully), but I think people online don't understand how public responses work when there's legal team and PR interference. The tweet for me had a weird lack of personal touch and emotion from the guy I've observed to be very personal in his writings, whether its his music or a community post about a life update (blah blah parasociality I know, but I'm letting you know the observations I've made of his behavior simply as someone who notices these things). He also never explicitly stated Shelby's name, rather saying "that person" (you even had the textbook 'black text on a blank white background' screenshotted response). Finally, there was a consistent standing on Wilbur 'not being aware of how the other person really felt' regarding his actions. What I'm trying to say is... y'all really gotta start putting two and two together. Its a textbook PR response. As in, I'd be surprised if Wilbur had over 50% involvement in making it because the wording is exactly how it reads when a response has been initiated by someone's lawyers rather than themselves. The reason he doesn't take more accountability and openly admit to having abused Shelby (other than the obvious public backlash) is probably cause his lawyers are banking on the feigning ignorance angle, that Wilbur didn't intentionally abuse Shelby and was ignorant to how his actions affected her. Its the best way to get him out of hot water on the legal side, because again, this isn't messy drama; its a genuine accusation of a crime. I don't think the response is tone deaf and unaware, I think its a deliberate and measured legal move not even fully created by Wilbur himself. This isn't to say I think he's innocent, but I do know that Shelby and others have brought up some serious accusations, and Wilbur is lawyering up as a result.
---Nuance
Prefacing this part by saying that things are not looking good for Wilbur in regards to what other CCs have brought up about him, and I fully believe and support Shelby, hence why I support that the community should start distancing from him and his work. But I would like to take this opportunity to look into the greater aspects at play. We are within a system that brings up men to do what they want without teaching them to be considerate and aware of the consequences. Men are taught their harmful behavior is perfectly fine, often at women's expense, which makes these situation a very different story depending on who's telling it. Its because of this that we need to critically analyze the system and how it causes men to turn out as they do, instead of giving an immediate opinion without any nuance.
There's a possibility that Wilbur is being genuine in not realizing how bad his actions were. There's a possibility he truly is a manipulative liar who knew exactly what he was doing. He could be a piece of shit. He could be genuinely trying to improve and do better. We don't know. I'd say its pretty cut and dry that he hurt Shelby, and for that I'm glad she's getting justice for herself and spreading awareness. But if we're to entertain the idea of redemption, we need to look at situations like these with nuance so that we can understand the "why". I'm not trying to justify Wilbur's actions or even give him the benefit of the doubt, I have no idea what's going on in that guy's head. I'm just putting this out there because its something I want everyone to think about, especially when it comes to topics regarding narcissism and mental health issues. Don't support him or Lovejoy, just keep something like this in mind for the future.
---The Community/Now Displaced Fans
To everyone who's immediately telling Wilbur's fans (the ones that don't support his actions and are actively mourning no longer being able to enjoy his stuff) to just listen to other music or move on, and who are celebrating each negative new thing that comes out about Wilbur's current status, sincerely, shut the fuck up. You are completely lacking in empathy or emotional intelligence, and what you're doing is the last thing the community needs. Wilbur and his work could have and for many did get fans through some of their hardest moments, and losing that wonderful sense of community you get from streamers and their work (especially with the roleplay stuff) is awful. It fucked me up losing that after almost a year, for some of his fans its been even longer.
If you're a (former) fan of his, its ok to feel like shit. We're human, we get attached and we grieve losing something like this because that's how capable we are of loving. Take your time, as long as you know where to stand (supporting Shelby and raising awareness on domestic abuse), you're doing good. You can keep enjoying his characters and work and making content about it, separating the art from the artist (though don't stream his music from platforms that would give him the money, find a way to pirate it).
This sucks. I feel it as a casual fan who was once hugely into his content, I can imagine what its like for those who were huge supporters all the way up until now. You didn't do anything wrong supporting someone you thought was a good person, its just a thing that happens and its so fucking shitty. You ain't alone though, I know some of you have that knee-jerk reaction to avoid anything to do with him but reaching out to others in the community and actually processing it all is way better, you won't be bottling it all up. Don't be afraid to continue engaging with this part of your life until you're ready to move on from it in your own time, and be kind to yourself. From someone who went through exactly what you are now, trust me, you'll get through it.

omg please write more of the jamie x mcadoo!reader i love the protective family member dynamic!! especially with a character like isaac!🤍
Meet Cousin McAdoo
Fandom: Ted Lasso
Pairing: Jamie Tartt x F!Reader
Summary: You're visiting your cousin, Isaac, in Richmond for a few weeks. During your stay, you become familiar with the little city as well as its very own AFC Richmond football club.
A/N: I was going to do a bunch of headcanons but i suddenly got bit with the writing bug and it ended up being a full fledged fic. Whoops!
Isaac walks into the locker room with a determined look on his face. A majority of his team was already there, so he stands in front of everyone and hollers, "Oi! Listen up!" he waits until he sees that all eyes are on him, he continues, "My cousin is visiting Richmond for a few weeks. She's comin' over here so I can show her around. I want all of you," he points around the room, "to be on your best behavior. Understand?"
"What's happenin'?" asks Jamie as he walks in.
"Isaac's cousin is visiting, so be your best behavior," Sam says, catching the striker up.
Jamie grins, "Aren't I always on me best behavior?"
The guys roll their eyes as Jamie makes his way to his cubby, getting ready for practice.
Everyone's on the pitch when Higgins comes out, "Sorry, team, can I have a moment?"
"WHISTLE!" Roy yells, which causes everyone to pause.
Higgins speaks up, "Isaac, your cousin is here."
Isaac looks confused, "She's not supposed to be here until tomorrow."
"HI ISAAC!" you yell from Rebecca's office window. You're waving your arms excitedly.
"I thought you were comin' tomorrow!" He yells up at you.
"Surprise!" you're giggling, "I'll be down in a bit!"
Isaac nods and gives you a wave.
The boys are back to practice when you join Roy on the sidelines of the pitch, "Nice to meet you, Coach Kent," you don't offer a hand to him. You know, from what Isaac's told you, he isn't fond of touching people.
He nods and grunts, which you don't take personally.
Isaac, lightly jogs over to you, "Hey, cousin!" he goes to hug you but you stop him.
"Ew! Don't hug me, weirdo. You're all gross and sweaty."
"Pft," he puts out his fist and you fist bump him, "It's good to see you."
"Thanks for letting me stay with you while I'm here."
Isaac shrugs, "Of course."
"WHISTLE! WHISTLE!" Roy cries out and you look at him, bewildered, then back to Isaac, "Does he-"
"He's allergic to metal," Isaac answers swiftly.
"Interesting," you say with a nod.
"Take a five minute break!"
At Roy's words, Colin comes up to Isaac's side, "Hi! I'm Colin. Isaac's-"
"Best mate! It's so nice to meet you!" you shake his hand and the rest of the boys follow.
You meet Jan Maas, Richard, Sam, Dani, etc. etc. The meeting goes by quickly as Roy yells for everyone to get back to drills.
Isaac gives you a wave as he heads back onto the pitch. You stand on the side watching everything.
"Isaac," Dani catches his Captain's attention.
"Yeah, bruv?"
"You and your cousin do not look alike."
"We're not blood related. Her aunt married my uncle. We're cousins by marriage but still family nonetheless."
"Your cousin is very attractive," Jan Maas states in his usual Dutch bluntness.
Isaac's eyes narrow at Jan Maas and grabs his shirt by the collar, "Don't talk about my cousin like that."
Jamie joins in, "But he's right, Isaac. Your cousin's mad fit!"
Isaac pauses his drill and looks at the boys around him, "You all listen to me and listen well, none of you are worthy enough for my cousin. So stay away. Got it?" The angry and protective look on Isaac's face was enough to make the guys nod and scurry away, not wanting to be the receiving end of their captain's potential anger.
____________________
After Isaac's showered and changed, he gives you a tour of the place. His knowledge is lacking since there are certain places he hasn't been to before, but he tries his best. When he tells you the team has a therapist, you're very impressed, especially since Isaac admits to going a few times himself. You find it very admirable.
The tour then ends at the locker room after Isaac makes sure that everyone's decent.
You pout a little, "Dammit, Isaac, I wanted to see some fit naked footballers!" Isaac looks at you with disgust while some of the guys chuckle.
"You still can if you want!" Bumbercatch responds, but gulps after Isaac shoots him a look, "Just kidding."
You snort, "I was joking too, but thanks for the offer." You nudge Isaac, "Can we grab something to eat now? I'm starving."
"Yeah! Actually," he turns to Sam, "Are we good?"
"A table is already waiting for you at Ola's."
"Sweet. Thanks, bruv!" Isaac goes over to Sam and they do a typical 'bro hug'.
"It was nice meeting all of you! I'll probably see you again during my time here!" you wave at the team and they all wave back as you and Isaac exit the locker room.
All eyes are following you out. You look back and your eyes catch the blue-gray eyes of none other than Jamie Tartt. He gives you a shy smile and you give him a wink before you continue following Isaac out.
"Oi!" Colin thumps Jamie's head, "Isaac said to be on your best behavior."
"All I did was smile at her! She's the one that winked at me!" the striker explains, defending himself.
"I'm keeping an eye on you Tartt," Colin says before walking out of the locker room as well.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

summary walking around charleston with family enjoying the sunny day.
warnings just a whole lotta cuteness for y'all
Tumblr media
It was a pleasant day in Charleston. The sun was out, and the breeze felt amazing on your skin. A perfect day to wear a dress or tank top with shorts. Summer is right around the corner and weather is getting warmer.
Tatum and you are dressed in matching blue jean overalls. She has her hair in two pigtails with her hair curled. Drew and Leo were wearing matching white shirts. Leo is three months old and wearing his white onesie.
Drew’s mom, Jodi, younger sister Mackayla and her eight month old daughter, Liliana, came down to visit for a few days. It’s been amazing having them with you guys.
The plan for the day is to eat lunch, wander around town, buy a few things, visit the flea market, and have dessert before heading home.
You were in downtown Charleston having lunch together. The check was taken by the waitress two minutes ago. In the meantime, conversations were made. Tatum was playing peek-a-boo with Liliana, sitting on Mackayla's lap. Leo was nestled in Jodi's arms.
Sitting underneath the shade felt great, the breeze hitting your skin just right.
“Leo is starting look so much like Drew” Jodi softly speaks, "He also has your eyes, Y/N." Just the ideal mix between you both."
You and Drew take a quick glance at each other smiling. He places his hand on your thigh, giving it a soft pat.
You've taken Leo out in public a few times in the three months since his birth. If you're going out alone with Tatum and Leo, make sure to cover Leo with a thin blanket in case someone takes a picture.
After lunch, you guys decided to walk around and look through shops around town. There were plenty of things open and a flea market down the road too.
"Daddy, I want to go into this store," Tatum says, pointing to the store across the street that has a number of toys on display. 
Drew looks around as he kneels down to face Tatum's vision: "Over there? "Of course, princess," Tatum exclaims, taking his hand.
"Drew becoming a father happened at the right time in his life," Mackayla exclaimed, grasping Liliana's tiny hands and enjoying her older brother's interaction with her niece.
"Completely agree and he's so good with his little babies" Jodi smiled with her hand over her heart.
Tatum gazed around the store, hoping she'd want something to take home. She looked about and didn't see anything that drew her interest.
"What is it you want princess?" Drew asked following behind Tatum.
"I want Olaf" throwing her hands in the air with frustration. Drew quickly stopped her before she got overwhelmed.
Kneeling on one knee, both arms wrapped around her arms, "Please listen to me carefully. Take deep breaths for Daddy and convince yourself you are calm and comfortable," demonstrating how Tatum can calm herself down.
Tatum has recently expressed interest in an Olaf toy or anything Olaf-related. She just adores Olaf. You and Drew have taught her to take deep breaths and talk herself down when she is feeling overwhelmed since she started to express emotions.
Drew is so good with Tatum. Always has been since she was born.
The rest of you went around the store finding Olaf. You found a stuffed Olaf in the corner of the Disney section. Tatum jumped with joy when she held him in her arms.
Leo's small feet began kicking against the thin covering blanket, signaling that he wanted it down. Jodi takes notice and pulls the blanket down to Leo, who smiles as his grandmother peeks through.
Liliana looked over in Leo's direction, and the two cousins made eye contact before smiling. Fortunately, you were capturing the brief moment between the two.
They've noticed each other a few times now and seeing them interact with each other warms everyone's heart. Wish they didn't have to grow up so fast.
"Can you say to your cousin Liliana?" Mackayla cooed as she pointed to Leo, who was kicking his feet and wiggling his arms with delight.
Having two babies now is definitely a blessing. The babies are the center of attention on every family outing. It's also fantastic that they are so close in age because it allows them to grow up together.
Leo had his back against Drew's, his pacifier in his mouth, and was toying with Drew's gold ring on his finger. You took out your phone from your pocket and took a couple photos to share later on your story.
"You like playing with my ring huh?" Drew chuckled gleefully, hopping up and down, making Leo laugh with his movements.
Tatum walked over to see what the chatter was all about. She skipped over, pausing in front of Drew. She raises her hand to Leo, "I want to see brother, Daddy," with begging eyes.
"Hi baby Leo" Tatum squints her noise, dragging the o.
Leo smiles at his big sister through his pacifier, which slides out of his mouth and lands on Tatum's palm. She hands it to you before focusing on her brother.
Their bond grows stronger every day. Tatum wants to be close Leo all the time. She treats him with so much affection. She's been a wonderful big sister.
"Tatum can you stand infront of the flowers with mommy for me?" You asked her, indicating where you wanted her to stand. Before she got distracted by Leo, she wanted to look at the flowers.
Tatum posed for the camera. Drew's mother also came over to take a few pictures with her. Everyone ended up getting pictures with Tatum.
"How about we sit outside while we eat our ice cream?" Jodi suggested to Tatum, pointing to the outdoor tables in the shade.
"Yes!"
You guys finished going to the flee market. You spent the day walking around Charleston going into shops, grabbing fruit, etc. It was getting closer to the end of the day and time to head back home. To end the day off, ice cream.
A few hours ago, you ran into a couple fans who had the cutest puppy. Drew took a few photos with the dog and fans.
Tatum sits on Jodi's lap while they share their ice cream. Mackayla ordered mint chocolate chip, while Drew and you shared a banana split.
Music was playing through the speakers from the post lights. Sun was starting to set, the sky looked beautiful with a hint of pink and orange. Tatum started humming to the music, dancing on her grandmas lap.
You turn your head to the side, a group of girls are walking over talking, they look like fans of Drew's. One of them takes a double take before realizing Drew is a few feet from them.
Drew had Leo on his lap and stuck his finger in the vanilla ice cream, allowing Leo to taste it. Leo bites the ice cream and makes a face that makes Drew giggle.
"Hi, sorry to bother you guys, we were wondering if you would like to take a couple pictures?" The young girl questioned with hesitancy in her voice, as if she didn't want to interrupt.
"You aren't bothering us," Drew assures the group of girls, "we can definitely take pictures," as he places Leo in your hands. You give him a delicate kiss on the forehead before placing him on your lap. 
After taking the pictures, the girls say hello to the rest of you sitting down. Tatum scoots off her grandmas lap, walking over to the group of girls, "My name is Tatum and this is my baby brother, Leo"
The girls let out an awe.
He's so adorable
He has so much hair
The cutest baby ever
All the compliments given to Leo made him smile when he saw how the girls reacted seeing him.
The girls eventually said their goodbyes and went on with their day. They were exceedingly respectful and made no one feel uncomfortable. interacted with everyone.
"You are so good with your fans, I love it baby" you tell Drew, wrapping your arm around him, kissing his cheek.
"I love you" he responds.
"I love you more," you remark, nudging his side.
When you guys arrived home, Tatum, Leo, and Liliana were knocked out in their carseats. Making sure to not wake them up was a must because they immediately knocked out when they mad it to their carseats.
Tatum groaned slightly as Drew carefully unbuckled her from her carseat; she had been pulled out by arms. "It's okay, princess, daddy's got you," Drew whispers to her as he hugs her, arms around his neck and legs wrapped around his waist. He kisses the side of her head before closing the car door.
Today was spent with family and enjoying each other's company. The times you get to spend together, you cherish every moment. Going around Charleston was definitely a good idea.
You and Mackayla set up the fire pit on the terrace while Drew and his mother bathed the kids inside. 
After the kids had freshened up, you all returned to the cushion seats. Leo fell asleep on Drew's chest, Tatum dozed off on your lap with her blanket wrapped around her, and Liliana slept soundly in Jodi's arms.
You adults had conversations with multiple topics coming up. Drew spoke about filming season four and going to Maraco with the cast.
Today was a great day.

and more related to the reader being Brazilian and presenting a little about her culture and without the impediment of communication with the reader's parents (Rúben nervous about meeting the reader's parents for the first time)
Thank you for your patience with me. 😅
Ruben Dias x Reader - No Son of Mine
Enjoy!
The first nights in Brazil were spent in hotels. You wanted to show Ruben around the sights, like the beach and other popular tourist attractions. It was his first time visiting your home country so you wanted to make it special.
Eventually you guys arrived in São Paulo, the city where you grew up. The city where all of your family and friends lived.
"She's home!" Your mother shouted as the car you were renting pulled up to your childhood home.
"Finally God has brought you back to us." She rushed down the driveway to give you a rib crushing hug.
"Mamãe." You groaned. Behind her the rest of the family spilled out of the house, your siblings, cousins, aunties and uncles. All had been awaiting your arrival.
"Y/N!"
"Look how skinny she has become."
"What are they feeding you in England?"
"Fish and chips." Your uncle joked.
"Pai! Come here and look how pale your daughter has become."
People were pinching your cheeks, pulling your dress and making you twirl around to get a better look at you.
"Guys, please."
You hadn't even gotten the chance to introduce them to Ruben yet. There was no need however, your family discovered him for themselves as he came up the driveway carrying all of your luggage.
"Oh my." Your mother gasped.
"Look at those arms." One of your aunties commented. "So strong, so full of veins."
Your sisters were no different.  "He's cute, no?"
"Stop it." You hushed.
Ruben certainly made a good impression with the females of your family. The men however, perked up their chests like male gorillas.
"Do you need helped with those?" Your dad said, clearing his throat to make his voice sound deeper.
Ruben shook his head. "No sir. But thank you."
"No. Thank you." Your auntie smiled, eyeing Ruben up and down as he went passed them with the bags.
You rolled your eyes, hooking your arm with Rubens. "Guys this is Ruben , my fiance."
"Fiance?" They frowned.
You had yet told them about Rubens proposal last month. This was one reason for your visit to Brazil.
"When did this happen?" Your mother said, taking your hand so she could get a better look at the ring. Your family gathered like chickens, gasping at the sight of the diamond ring.
"Last month." You smiled.
"And you told us nothing?" Your dad pushed through everyone to get to you, displaying a look disapointment.
"Well I wanted it to be a suprise."
"Normally a man asks the father for permission before proposing to his daughter." Your dad turned to Ruben.
"Pai!" 
He stepped up to Ruben in a way that made everyone nervous.
"What? It's a holy tradition, no?"
"Yes for us Pai." Your sisters help defend. "Ruben is not from Brazil."
"But he is Portuguese, no?"
"Here we go again." You sighed. Ever since your family found out that Ruben was Portuguese their view of him changed a bit. Especially your dad's view, since he has always been very in touch with his cultural roots and a preacher of how the white man took everything from our ancestors. Even when you were still a young girl he would say, "If you ever marry a Brazilian he better be as black as you."
"Pai?" Your mother came through to stop the commotion. "Stop this. We haven't seen our daughter in three years. This is not how we should welcome her and her beautiful husband to be."
Your dad groaned in response, but quickly came to his senses, seeing the hurt in your eyes.
"Y/N." He sighed. "You're mother is right, forgive me?"
"It's not me you should be apologizing too." You said, cuddling up to Ruben. He held an arm around your shoulders.
The whole family anticipated your father's next words. He still looked skeptically at Ruben.
"Do you have a job, son?"
"Yes sir." Ruben nodded.
"A house?"
"Two actually. One in England and one in Portugal. If you don't count the apprement we live in Manchester and the summerhouse in Spain, then I have four."
Your family nodded impressed, everyone but your father.
"Can you cook?" He said, continuing the live interrogation.
"I know a few dishes."
"Can you clean?"
"Of course."
"Dad stop this." You sighed.
He raised his hand "Just one final question."
"Shoot." Ruben said.
Your dad chuckled.  "It's funny you would say that. Can you play football? Because no son in law of mine shall step foot in my house without knowing how to use them."
Ruben shifted to you. His expression unsure.
"I haven't told them." You smiled.
"Told us what?" Your dad hissed.
"Pai, Ruben is a professional football player. He plays for Manchester City in the Premier League."
"My son." Your dad grinned, pulling Ruben in for a hug.
Everyone laughed, including you.
"I guess he's welcome to the family then?" You asked.
"Yes." He said, patting Rubens back. "He is very welcome."

Summary: Santi's odd cousin comes for a visit.
A/N: This is just crack. I am so sorry. I'm using my normal tag list but please feel free to just ignore this (because I think the only person whose cup of tea this is, is me.) This is for @triplefrontier-anniversary event. Also, I blame @romanarose completely for this, as I made a joke about writing Jack as Santi's cousin ages ago.
Warnings: overuse of italics, oral sex (m receiving), swearing, I have not proofread this (I’m so sorry I just can’t look at it anymore), please let me know if I've missed a warning.
Word Count: 1835
________________________________
“Look, I know he’s weird.” Santi said, shutting the fridge door and holding out a beer for Frankie.
“Really weird.” Will added and Santi gave him a look. 
“But he’s family.” Santi stressed, sighing a little. 
“How is he related to you again?” Frankie took the bottle with a nod of gratitude. 
He crossed his arms and shrugged. “He’s my cousin.” 
“I thought he was your second cousin?” Will frowned.
“I thought he was your cousin once removed?” Frankie drank a gulp of the beer and pulled a disgusted face at Santi, he rolled his eyes.
“Yeah, well, I don’t actually know.” 
“You don’t know?” Will put his feet up on the coffee table, leaning back to look at Santi and Frankie in the kitchen. 
Benny gave his brother a look and pointed to his feet. “Bro.”
“What?” 
“I don’t know if he’s my fucking second cousin or cousin how many times removed or what the fuck, kay?” Santi came and sat down next to Will, swatting at his legs.
“Ow.” Will laughed, “that hurt.”
“Good. Keep your feet off my table.”
“Look you made me take my shoes off, so I think-”
“Just because you're a savage who wears outside shoes in the house,” Frankie said, sitting on the armchair, “and who puts their feet up in other people’s furniture-” 
“See?” Benny hissed.
“-without asking,” Frankie continued. 
“It’s normal to wear shoes in the house.” Will countered. 
“House shoes.” Santi said.
“Yeah, house shoes. Not outside ones.” Frankie took another swig of the beer. 
“Outside shoes.” Will tutted, he turned to his brother. “Help me out here?” 
“If you share a great grandparent he’s your first cousin once removed, if he’s the kid of your  first cousin once removed he’s your second cousin.” Benny said.
Will pulled a face. “Why do you know that?” 
“Why don’t you?” 
“I-”
“Doesn’t fucking matter, he’s just visiting okay?” Santi shrugged, crossing his arms and sighing.
“He staying with you?” Frankie asked,
“Hell no.”
Will snorts. 
“I don’t think he’s that weird.” Benny picked at the label of his bottle. “I kinda like him.” 
“Yeah, well, you only met him once,” Will cut in. “Me and Frankie have met him like 5, 6 times? Dude’s insane, always causing everyone brother.” 
“He’s quirky.” Ben shrugged.
Will pulled a face. “Fish, isn’t he fucking insane?” 
“I’m not getting involved.” Frankie took a long swig of his beer.
“Hey, that is my cousin, you know?” Santi gave Will a glare.
“Sorry, Pope.” 
“Nah,” Santi grinned, “he is fucking insane.” 
“You guys are mean.” Benny teased.
“Yeah, well, you love him so much, why don’t you hang out with Jack?” Will nudged him in the side.
“You know what, I will.”
.
And that was how Benny ended up hanging out with Jack by himself. 
The original plan had been to grab a beer at the bar on 12th. But that had turned into four, then five, then six, then…
The guy was off his rocker, that was for sure. Benny knew that, but he kinda liked it too. He never quite knew where the conversation was going. Jack would throw in some quote from a philosopher one second, and then would talk about a tennis game the next. 
“I don’t really watch tennis,” Ben finished his seventh beer, eighth? “You watch football?” 
“Nah, too commercial, I’m not into all that capitalist shit.” Jack motioned to the bartender to bring over another set of drinks. 
“Tennis isn’t commercial?” 
“Not how I watch it brother, I only watch it in French.” He taps the side of his head. “They can’t advertise to me if I don’t know the language, you feel me?” 
Benny paused, nodding and then frowning, “Why don’t you do that for the football then?” 
Jack shook his head, “not the same brother, not the same. They got a way, you know?” 
Benny did not know. 
“A way of still getting into your psyche.” Jack tapped the bar to punctuate his sentence. “I’m not having it. Commercials are capitalism and ‘Capitalism is a social system based on the exploitation of the majority by a minority for their private profit.’” He took a sip of his beer. “Jean-Paul Sartre said that.” 
“I thought that was Marx?” 
Jack laughed long and hard, smacking Benny affectionately on the back. Benny smiled, his cheeks warm. His expression was infectious. 
“Hoo-wee!” He wiped his eyes, “I thought I’d got you there for sure, kiddo. Brother, ah, for sure.” He grinned. “But you got me, caught old Jack didn’t ya?”
Benny smiled again, “nah, just, you know. Marx is pretty famous, I guess.” 
“Don’t sell yourself short, brother, don’t sell yourself low if you gotta sell yourself at all. See, most people wouldn’t know, most people wouldn’t care.” He quickly moved his hand over his head, complaining it with a ‘zoom’ sound, “most common folk, straight over their heads, brother, or they just would be too Tiny Timmy Timid to say a peep.” 
Benny nodded, a little bewitched by Jack when he talked. Like some snake charmer, slowly lulling him into a hypnotic state. “Well, you know.” Heat rose to his cheeks that he told himself was from the alcohol. “Guess I haven’t been hit so much in the head that I’ve forgotten everything.” 
Jack nodded, taking another drink. “Very impressive all that fighting of yours, very impressive. But you could teach old Jacky a thing or two, couldn’t you? A thing or two about wrestling around.” 
“Well, erm, I-”
“Course you could brother,” Jack patted him on the back again. He left his hand there for a moment too long, trailing down his spine instead of moving away. 
“Yeah, sure.” Benny swallowed a little nervously. “So, erm, what’s your opinion on shoes on in the house?” 
.
That was how he ended up back at where Jack was staying. The older man insisting that he ‘showed Benny Boy the house shoe rule in person’. 
And, well, it would be rude to say no, wouldn’t it? 
“It’s a nice place,” Benny said, taking off his shoes by the front door. “Air BnB?”
“Nah,” Jack shook his head. “I don’t go in for all that, fine when it’s people renting their house because they’re on holiday themselves or something, sure. But not when it’s just jumped up landlords buying up properties.” 
“Erm, yeah.” He hadn’t really answered the question. Benny wobbled a little as he took off his trainer, the alcohol buzzing through his system making him pleasantly warm.
“Woah, hey there little brother,” Jack moved quickly to him, wrapping his arm around his shoulder and one hand on his waist. “Gonna fall if you’re not careful.” 
“Nah, I’m okay.” He smiled. 
Jack tutted. “Not at all, your my guest. Can’t have you falling and spilliting your pretty head on the floor can I?” 
Benny frowned, completely missing the ‘pretty’ comment, “it’s carpet?” 
Jack laughed loudly. “It sure is… carpet burn then.” He grinned, his eyes trailing over Benny’s face. “Only want that on the knees, you know?” 
“On your knees?” 
“Yeah…” Jack smiled, darting his tongue out to drag it along his bottom lip. “Let me should you, hmm?” 
“Erm, okay, yeah…?” Benny let Jack lead him, still holding onto his waist, to the sofa in the living room. Let him press him down onto the cushions. Let Jack sink to the door between his knees. 
He wasn’t stupid. It’s just that… it almost seemed impolite to ask him to stop. And who was Benny really to refuse a blow job when the oputinity arose? 
Part of him wished he wasn’t already hard when Jack palmed him through his jeans, wish he had made him work for it. But the other, much louder part, was already desperate to have his soft looking lips around his cock. 
He unzipped Benny’s jeans slowly, glancing up at the younger man and giving him plenty of oppuinities to tell him to stop, fuck off, or move away. 
Benny stayed still, breathing hard through his nose as Jack carefully pulled him free and ran his hand up and down his hot length for a moment. 
“You ever had a guy suck you off?” 
“A few times.” 
Jack hummed and nodded. “Good.” 
Benny barely had a moment to register what he had said before he licked a stripe from the base of his cock to the tip, swirling his tongue over the head before dipping down and taking him into his mouth. 
Benny shuddered, letting out a painfully loud sigh at the warmth of Jack’s mouth, at how he sucked just enough to truly ignite a fire under his skin, but not enough to truly ease that ache. 
He lifted his head up, swirling his tongue over his balls before he traced the large vein on the underside of his dick and slipped him back into his warm and waiting mouth. 
Benny gasped, his thighs twitching as the pleasure in his lower stomach began to grow. He instinctively grabbed hold of the back of Jack’s head, pulling at his hair and pushing him down lower. 
Jack hummed, chucking and the vibrations ran along Benny’s cock as he followed the directions and sank lower, the older man’s hands pressed to Ben’s inner thighs to keep him spread wide. 
Benny tried to fight the urge to buck up into his mouth, chasing more of that intoxicating heat. But he couldn’t help himself, his stomach muscles twitching as he tried to stay still. Jack’s firm hold stopped him from getting too far though as he kept up his slow and tortuous pace. He let his salvia pool down, completely covering Benny’s cock as he sank lower, and lower and-
Benny cried out, swearing under his breath in a haze as he hit the back of Jack’s throat and went further still. “Shit, shit, shit, fuck, fuck, fuck,” he pulled on his hair, pushing him deeper, his back bending off the sofa. “Holy fuck, please, Jesus,” mindless words tumbled out of his mouth as Jack started to pick up the pace, fucking him in earnest. 
Sparks of pleasure ran along Benny’s spine, pooled in his stomach and overrode any other thought. He groaned loudly, throwing his head back against the cushions and squirming against the pleasure. 
He tried to pull him back a little to warn him, “Jack, fuck, Jack, I’m gonna-”
But the older man didn’t let up, taking him as deep as he possibly could. 
“Fuck!” Benny sobbed, his hips stuttering, legs shaking as he spurted down Jack’s throat, coming harder than he could ever remember. 
Jack slowed, but kept working him over, prolonging his orgasm until he pulled back fully and grinned. 
Benny breathed hard, sweat beading on his forehead as he slumped back onto the sofa, blissed out and boneless. 
“How about I get you a glass of water, brother, and then we go again?” Jack smiled. 
Benny raised an eyebrow at him. 
“I mean, I haven’t actually got carpet burn. Yet.”

PLEASE DO MORE SILLY SOUTH PARK, LIKE..
Maybe the Main 4 (& Butters, if you do him?) with a reader that’s Scott Malkinson’s cousin?
Yippee more South Park!! :D
South Park - Main 4 (+ Butters) With Scott Malkinson's Cousin
Cartman
He was absolutely DUMBFOUNDED when he found out you were Scott's cousin
Like, to him, you're way too cool and amazing to be related to someone like him
So when you first told him, he thought you were joking
"Don't even joke about that, Y/n. Scott's way too gross to be in your bloodline."
"...It wasn't a joke??"
"What."
You'd get upset when he poked fun at Scott, always rushing to defend your cousin
Cartman tries to dial the teasing down a little for your sake
(he also just doesn't want to get on your bad side)
Let's be real though, it's Cartman; he's not giving it up completely
He'll sometimes refer to you as "the cool cousin" and Scott as "the lame cousin" when talking about you both
Kenny
The first thing he blurted when you said Scott was your cousin was:
"Scott's your cousin? Then why don't you have a lisp??"
"Pfff— that's not how it works, Kenny."
You'll have to help him if you want him to be nicer to Scott
He just doesn't see the problem with a little lighthearted teasing, especially since he doesn't actually hate Scott
But once you explain to him that what he's doing is harmful, he'll give it up
He'll even apologize to Scott if you go with him
He's genuine when he says sorry; he doesn't want to hurt anyone that's important to you, no matter how funny it is
That being said, he'll still poke a little fun at him once he gets closer to Scott
Scott will poke fun at him back
Now that they're established as buddies, you have no problem listening (and giggling) as they banter
Kyle
Kyle sort of tries to separate you from Scott
He knows that Scott gets bullied a lot, and he doesn't want the same thing to happen to you
So he keeps you away from each other whenever possible
"Ooh! My cousin's over there, we should go sit with him."
"Uh, let's find somewhere else to sit..."
He knows that it's a little cold, but he's only trying to protect you
Eventually you figure out what he's doing and you confront him
When he explains it's because Scott is generally disliked by everyone, you're heartbroken
You force him to help you fix Scott's reputation
He begrudgingly agrees, mostly because he feels bad for keeping you away from your cousin
With your drive and his brains, you actually do manage to raise his status a little!
But uh... that just means that the other bullying targets (cough cough Pip cough cough) get more attention
Stan
Stan does not care who you're related to
He was a little surprised when you told him, mostly because you were pretty different from Scott (in his eyes at least)
But after that initial surprise, he was over it
He'll try to be nicer to Scott when you invite him to hang out with you
He also attempts to get the other guys to go easy on him
"Come on, guys. It's just a lisp. It's not even that funny."
Scott starts to grow on him a little, but not to the point of wanting to be close with him
You both sort of become Scott's protectors, standing up for him when people try to rag on him, even when he's not around
Butters
Unlike Stan, he made a big deal when you told him you were Scott's cousin
He got so excited,,,
"Scott? I know him! He goes to our school! Ooh, we should invite him to hang out with us!
And thus a new friend group was born
Scott's very grateful to have actual friends
He starts to become especially close with Butters, which you think is adorable
Sometimes people refer to Scott as your "third wheel," but it never feels like that when he's around
You three meet up at least once a week to watch fantasy movies/TV shows and geek out over them
You and Scott team up to convince your parents to let Butters come to family events too
You don't really need to though; both your guys' parents already love him, and they LIVE for your little friend group
The people at school... that's a different story
At first you faced a fair helping of bullying for hanging out with Scott, but it subsided until people pretty much left you guys alone
Not that you really cared anyway, all you cared about was having fun with your boyfriend and cousin :)
Tumblr media
Thank you for this awesome request! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did :) Thanks for reading, take care!!

Omg hi it’s the sweetheart!george anon. I’m obsessed with all the school cutie vibes onfgggg, walking home from school, meeting the parents, house parties, day trips, festivals omgggggGGGG. Omg first kiss on NYE? im gagged
oh god walking home from school has me thinking like. adam is driving the rest of the boys to his after school for band stuff, and they're like driving through his housing estate when matty elbows g in the ribs to be like "oi. it's your girlfriend" - george elbows him right back and says "she's NOT my girlfriend we're just friends that's all i just think she's nice. and funny. and i think her glasses are cute" (everyone else is like yeah sure ok g whatever), and then he's like "actually wait hann let me out i want to talk to her. maybe i could carry that extra bag for her as well too. looks heavy". adam just rolls his eyes and says "don't be daft, i'll give her a lift. she stays in the street behind mine anyway. like the house directly behind mine", to which george is like "WHAT WHY HAVE YOU NEVER SAID THAT BEFORE", so then ross replies "oh, yeah, because he's going to just give out her address unprompted, idiot. next you'll be asking if he can see into her bedroom, christ". george had not in fact been planning on asking that, but his mind starts wandering to related thoughts truly not appropriate for half 3 in the afternoon in the car home from school, until matty elbows him again and says "stop compiling your wank bank - she's right there. ask her if she wants a lift"; with a smack to the back of his friend's head, george does just that. it takes you a second to hear him over the paramore blasting through your earphones, but your face lights up when you see george, and you eagerly slide into the car next to him with a "thanks for the lift, adam. hi guys lol". matty leans around george to wave, while george lifts your tote onto his knee like "christ what is in this?" - you're like "vodka. my cousin dropped it off for me", and literally all of them look at you in shock lol. you're like "what? i do party sometimes", and george is lowkey jealous like "oh, you're going to a party? whose?", and you're like "well, it's not really a party. i'm just having the girls over. would've asked you lot, actually, but no boys allowed because jodie just got dumped and she's in an "i hate men" mood and i don't want any of you getting battered. next time, though!". the boys all laugh, and you all just kinda chat until adam pulls up outside your house; george helps you to the front door with your vodka bag (lol) and says "well, have fun. can't wait to hear all about it on monday", and you smile and shyly say "will you be at adam's the whole night? his garden backs onto mine. maybe you could come out for a chat". he's like "yeah, i'd like that. text me?", and you're like "i will. see you later, g" and kiss his cheek before going inside. he stands on your doorstep in shock at the kiss for a second, before beaming and reluctantly walking back to his friends. he's down BAD lol bless him <3

Ask Game : How about an au in where Manual is a Todoroki (Any type of relative)
oh, you mean like when i said Fuyumi should adopt Manual as her brother? Or when we just made Manual the oldest todoroki sibling here, here, (and then...) here? or the separate fic where he's the oldest sibling and also the personification of water and the water cycle itself? Or the series where Tensei and Masaki are Vampire Fuyumi's scions and they're members of the Todoroki clan?
Just kidding, im sure everyone who saw the family tree reblog knows which one i'll talk about here.
1- Masaki, eldest Todoroki Himura child, does not have the quirk his father wanted. He also did not have an ice quirk useful to the Himura family. But he is the eldest, and an eldest son at that, so he's still trained and included by the family. Growing up though, Masaki knows that he's not quite right, not quite what people wanted of him, and tries hard to overcome it. He trains, a lot. He studies the family tree the Himuara clan is so proud of, and then branches out more, as if that'll earn their approval. (he knows most of the whole chart ehehe)He trains to the point that he doesn't just have the ability to manipulate water, but create it too, as his parents create fire and ice. Unfortunately, he can only do this by drawing on his body's stores, so he ends up out of breath and dehydrated too easily when he tries, and wielding large amounts of water is terrible for finesse. Touya, a bright firecracker of a second son, is trained instead. He hurts himself in training too, but can keep going, unlike Masaki. Masaki eases off, still training, still going to be a hero, but giving his little brother more of a spotlight. He's satisfied with what he has. But his brother and father aren't.
2- Masaki stops caring about training with overwhelming power, and focuses on learning how to move small amounts of water with better grace. He dives into the detective part of the job, even as Enji largely neglects passing this on to Touya. He uses his weird knowledge of his family tree for connections- why does he keep getting invited to such high level meetings, missions, and parties?? oh well, you see, Captain Celebrity's sibling married one of Masaki's mom's siblings, so they're in-laws-in-laws, and Ryukyuu's uncle married another one of CC's siblings, so of course Masaki got an invite. He isn't even bragging about his connections, or using them for ill, he just shows up and if people ask why, he says it so matter of fact that they're like 'oh yeah of course, i mean if Manual were my cousin's cousin's aunt's neighbor i'd invite him too, cmon in man." It's amazing how most heroes are more likely to know how they and Masaki are connected than to be aware of the fact that Masaki is straight up Endeavor's son. He doesn't need to be networking this hard. he's doing it anyway. He likes, after all, to be treated normally. He just has a skewed view of normal- but i mean, so does Fuyumi! they're just different skewed views.
3- Sadly this is not a Tensaki au for the simple reason that on one of Endeavor's parent's side, Masaki is distantly related to the Iidas. Now that would not be a problem for literally anyone else, but Masaki took the advice of "if you know how closely you're related, you're too closely related and applied it to his life, not thinking that most people do not in fact have a full knowledge of all of their relatives up to tenth cousins four times removed, and a partial knowledge up to fifteenth six times removed. Tensei is bemused when Masaki asks him how the crawler vigilante is doing, since they never officially partnered, and even more so when Masaki explains "Oh, no, it's just that he's been mentored by my uncle Oguru, has my grandparent's speed quirk and he's like, sixth cousins with your mother, only three or four times removed, so i thought maybe he might have mentioned it to you. But i hope he's doing alright, seems like a good guy and i know that bee bombing thing last month was rough."
4- Masaki dyes his hair brown to look more normal, and because he feels like his natural pink hair clashes with his costume too much. (Hey wonder if all that sexism in the family maybe impacted his view of it too. He very much disapproves of Touya's actions and words but maybe he doesn't want a girly pink hair color either.) Anyway, he also didn't stay at his father's agency for clear reasons. Once his own agency is set up, Fuyumi asks him if he'd consider taking in Natsuo- because he's completely neglected by their father, mom's in the hospital still, touya's dead, and Fuyumi's busy with school, Enji, and Shoto. Masaki agrees, and Natsuo ends up going into school for logistics with a science minor, still considering med school later.
5- "hey uh pocket is dabi not touya here" well that chart was made before the reveal. by not a whole lot of time lol. So, MASAKI doesn't think Dabi is Touya. After all, Touya is Dead. and Dead People do not attack school camps and set trees on fire. Dabi is, therefore, infinitely more likely to actually be Masaki's half uncle- he's pretty sure there are other kids on the fire side of the family, and it gives him a reason for hating Endeavor and his kids so much. Masaki stands by this even as his other siblings start cottoning on to the true identity of the arsonist. He's too normal to believe Dabi could possibly be Touya. After Jakku, he gets a call from Tensei like "hey man, i just heard about the news and i'm so sorry, you know you helped me a lot with my brother and family mess so i'll help you with your brother and-" and Masaki goes "OH THANK YOU i know other things like Eraserhead cutting off his own leg are more important, but i cannot believe my uncle would steal my dead brother's identity like that, with that awful dance-" and Tensei is like 'ah, right.' and just... lets him rant a bit to feel better, before he sniffs and goes 'its actually touya, isn't it.'

We're back with Strike Force Five episode two, which seems to have randomly dropped at some point after I went to bed on Saturday. I enjoy when podcasts just randomly drop episodes, honestly, makes the whole thing feel more authentically chaotic.
I started listening to this while trying to figure out how to draft for fantasy football. I am not a football fan. I don't follow football. I don't know how to do fantasy. I very much procrastinated on that by doing these notes. My team is graded C- by Yahoo btw, which is two full grades higher than I expected.
Tumblr media
Notes under the cut y'all.
This episode opens with Fallon talking about how he forgot his show's shirts glow in the dark. Apparently Billy Crystal tried to sleep in one recently and discovered this; John also noted a time when he was trying to get his infant son to sleep while wearing one of Fallon's shirts and saying it glowed "too well".
The audience for this podcast is obviously 30-something office drones like me. I say this because Atlassian is now running ads during the podcast. They must sense that everyone listening to this has it open in tab one while having their task-overrun Jira boards open in tabs two through five. John also completely "ruins" this ad - which was very on the rails for a decent amount of time! - by suggesting that Atlassian sounds like "one of those plans G. Gordon Liddy had to relect Nixon". Fallon also claims Atlassian is the name of his Fortnite character. (I wonder how my boss feels about both of those lol)
Everyone opens by briefly talking about how many staff they have. Stephen has 210, Kimmel has about 180 + 13 writers + a bunch of crew, Fallon thinks he has 305, and John jokingly says he has 500 people before admitting he misses his legal and research staff. He's ready to say things he thinks are true, instead of "things that are legally defensible".
Stephen: "Would you guys be okay if I had a little Casamigos, I got a bottle right here...?" John: "It's 7:30 in the morning, why not?" Seth: "That's like a 24 ounce 7-11 cup..." I'm so glad this is all in an auditory medium.
John is going to continue shitting on whatever alcohol company he shat on last week, and called it "pond water". I am guessing it's somehow related to Bud Light but that doesn't really track with tequila advertising, so who knows. I have in a past life had Bud Light Margarita in a Bag once, maybe John also suffered that unique hell.
If it IS Bud Light John is talking about, I have no idea how Stephen talking about Budweiser wanting him to be the voice for a Budweiser energy drink/caffeinated beer called B to the E/B 2 the E didn't get cut. This was in about 2001-2002, so well before Four Loko, and the ad copy contained things like "your friends are heading home AND YOU'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!" (John is quietly dying in the background the entire fucking time before Googling if it ever came out. It did! Fallon is flatly like "that's illegal" in a completely baffled tone early on.)
We are 8 minutes into an hour-long podcast. Just informing you, in case you were wondering. Why yes I am obsessed/bad at football why do you ask
Kimmel insists that his early seasons - "for the first eight to eleven years" - were the worst of anyone's on the podcast. He said this after talking about, on his show, Mr. T and Jim Belushi hating each other and almost about to fight each other, his cousin doing pillow-fights early on and causing a catastrophe one episode by fighting Lennox Lewis culminating with Anna Nicole Smith falling into a cake, and another pillow fight with Tom Arnold ruining his suede jacket. I forget that Kimmel is partially of the Jerry Springer era, if not on his late-night show then from his other work, and this just really reminded me of that.
Mariah Carey wanted to be interviewed by Seth Meyers during Christmas in a functional sleigh. John tells a story about watching Watch What Happens Live where Andy Cohen, on live TV by himself, said that Mariah Carey was in the building but would not sit on the side where guests usually sit on his show and was desperately trying to fill time. Mariah seems fun.
youtube
If I had to imagine Hell for Stephen Colbert, it would be "having to fill in for a guest on The Daily Show and turning down an advanced screening of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". That scenario seems tailor-made to completely destroy him.
I'm glad I remember that Ben and Jerry bit Stephen and Fallon are talking about. I would love to know what this whole explanation sounds like to someone who does not remember the whole "best friends" late night "wars" of the time. Here's the bit btw. (Your daily reminder that the CC website sucks ass.)
I forgot Fallon started his show two weeks before Seth. I must have completely blanked out how quickly all of those hosts changed in 2014 (and then John starting the same year).
I'm with John on this one, "Allen key" makes waaaaaay more sense than "Allen wrench". It's a fucking key! The amount of shit I've had to put together with those goddamn things, it's not a wrench at ALL.
One thing I learned today: chairs are very serious business for most of the hosts. Fallon keeps a chair backstage to see how someone will look in chairs on the set, and to confirm that's okay with the guests. Seth, meanwhile, had chairs that John feel like he was being interviewed to be on Seth's show. And Stephen has all different sizes of chairs, to make everyone feel comfortable when they're on the show. (This is where things go predictably off the rails, as Seth then claims he has chairs that get smaller and smaller to keep guests on their toes.)
John's guest are was the most expensive part of his set, and they never used it. Somehow that doesn't surprise me. I was shocked they have a guest booker, though. (Stephen: "Wow what a cushy gig!")
Kimmel's live show ceased being live when Thomas Jane said "fuck" nineteen times on air and affiliates/censors were mad. Apparently on network you CAN technically say anything past ten p.m., according to Kimmel, but that's not the reality of the situation.
Seth: "People forget about the early 2000s. If you were a sports fan, you would often say, 'I wonder who won the big game... let's watch the Kimmel monologue.'" This is exactly what the 2000s were like, kids.
Seth and Fallon both were told by SNL showrunner Lorne Michaels that it would take them 18 months to get comfortable with their shows and figure out how to use them. Seth definitely felt that was wrong and he'd only take 6 months... but the first time he started the show from behind his desk was almost 18 months to the day from his first episode.
Stephen has an unaired 3-minute opening credits sequence that he wants to show on his last episode if possible. John also had a longer title sequence that he loved, but that his producer said he'd be constantly going over for time and he'd need to cut it down, lest he get continually furious over not having enough time for his actual show.
Fallon talks about how his first interview was with notoriously reticent and quiet Robert DeNiro, who gave Fallon one-word answers for literally everything. John asks if anyone told him he was starting from a high difficulty degree, but is interrupted by Stephen remembering a Space Train sketch in the middle of Fallon's interview featuring DeNiro.
Stephen remembers more about Fallon's show than Fallon does, which is wild. Stephen probably remembers more about everyone's show than they do, based on the first two episodes.
Stephen calling The Colbert Report "a totally different beast and maybe doesn't even fit in this conversation" made me sad. Tell me all the Report gossip!!!
Stephen telling the story of how he made the Public Access Show for Monroe, Michigan prior to doing late night is incredible. I remember watching him and Eminem do that show the day the internet became aware of it, and it is just a fascinating bit of transitional Colbert work. Also, had no idea they took over a real show... or that they got almost 0 viewers for it, lol. Here's the link to the bit, for your viewing pleasure:
youtube
Fallon must realize that John has said literally nothing for a while, because he asks how the first episode of Last Week Tonight went. John actually talks about hosting The Daily Show for three months. He says he'd never interviewed anyone before then (I'm guessing he means that as in "I've never interviewed someone seriously and with the eye of not taking the piss out of them", because he'd done MANY filmed interviews for correspondent pieces before then) and talks about the episode where the power was cut. They taped the episode on a camcorder and had to feed it to Comedy Central through Stephen's office.
Stephen then talks about how his first episode almost doesn't make it to air because it couldn't be exported from Avid. Everyone in the editing bay insists this is fine, and it did end up being fine, but the contrast between how CBS editing works and John having to go to another office to feed a show to Comedy Central is so interesting.
Stephen also kicked down a door after this. Please enjoy this mental image, you freaks.
John and Stephen sharing a bitter laugh over John's joke about Les Moonves in the background is fantastic.
John is the first person to bring up that Ryan Reynolds turned around Wrexham the team AND the city. I really should watch that show.
We now return to Last Week Tonight, which lawyers refused to allow to be live. (Knowing John's comedic sensibilities, I completely understand Legal's stance.) He acknowledges that they had too many ideas going together in the first episodes, including a pre-taped guest. The big thing they learned was that they were doing one show a week, which lead to research coming in throughout the week that undermined their segments, rewriting whole shows on Thursday, and the realization that doing the show that way was completely unsustainable. Having watched those early episodes recently (and I promise I'm still doing that in the background), this context totally explains the franticness and weird pacing early on. Of course things feel more didactic and surface level - they were writing full episodes in two days! The show completely restaffed and changed after year one, and John's "bones were as hollow as a sparrow". He also knew that anyone who didn't like episode one was going to hate episode two, because it was about the death penalty.
Seth's first guests were Amy Poehler and Joe Biden, because they'd been on Parks and Rec together and Biden gladly accepted being after Amy.
Seth's misplaced confidence in his pink eye sketch is very relatable.
Fallon texting everyone that he is basically dying of heat stroke in his room and is trying to leave to save himself is hilarious. Poor Jimmy, he's suffering and getting clowned so hard for it. AND THEN Stephen talks about the opening of Fallon's first episode and all the change he dumped on his desk and him. And Fallon had to run up to the roof with change falling out of his clothes. Again, all this while Fallon is having a heat episode. As John says, "we should rename this 'Asphyxiating Jimmy Fallon'."
Fallon is also vaguely losing his mind and forgets he can talk on a podcast, because he keeps texting the others his thoughts.
They actually address the hosting schedule! Next episode, Stephen is hosting. After that, it's John (I'm excited for the inevitable LMFAO retrospective and/or extensive discussion of penii on rooves), then "James Theodore Fallon".
Thank you for reading this ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE BLOCK OF TEXT I'm so sorry that this is apparently my niche right now, thousands of words on a 45 min to 1 hr podcast featuring five white guys. One day the John pictures will again outnumber my blatherings, I promise.

20 - Andrea’s Theory
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Part 21
Family is More than Blood
@secretdreamlandmentality
I'm back with another chapter y'all. Don't hate me for asking this but what should happen next besides everyone remembering who Hope is at some point??? Let me know you're thoughts in the comments ❤️
Hope’s pov
Peaking my head around a tree I saw Missy and Ethan walking through the main grass just talking. She was actually holding his hand for the first time I had ever seen so something must’ve happened after I jumped into Malivore. “So wait a second you’re supernatural but I won’t remember after we leave each other?” Ethan asked her where I almost couldn’t believe that she had used compulsion on him like that.
“My dad says that it would be better for you to never know the truth. But my mom told me that you deserved to make the choice for yourself.” Missy stared at the human boy gulping nervously. “Are you mad at me?”
He shook his head with a half smile. “Why would I be mad that my girlfriend has super powers.”
“E, you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that.” Missy cried through happy tears covering her mouth with her hands.
He flashed her a smile picking up his bag for football practice even though he had his hand in a red cast meaning he couldn’t play for a while. “Hey I’m not going to be one of those guys that dumps his girl for being different. Now I gotta head to practice, can I do that Miss Heretic?”
“Sure, Ethan. Wait though you're hurt. How are you going to practice?” My younger sister asked her boyfriend in curiosity.
Ethan nodded at her curiosity. “I can still help the team with going through some of the drills. Then I have physical therapy which you can come to but my life is nowhere near as cool as yours.”
“Some days I wish I could have a laid back life like you do, Ethan Machado.” Missy waved bye to him, tucking some hair behind her ear heading in the direction of the mystic girl.
Ethan called out to her going in the opposite direction. “I’ll see ya tomorrow, M & M.”
“There you are, I have been looking for you everywhere.” I nearly screamed when Lizzie suddenly appeared visibly right beside me.
Clutching a hand over my heart I ran my freehand through my hair sucking in a sharp breath. “Lizzie, what the hell is wrong with you!”
“I went to your room until I remembered that you don’t technically live there at the moment. So I had to run around until I saw you stalking your sissy and her muggle boyfriend. When are you going to tell them that you are back because I can’t keep this a secret forever.” Lizzie snapped sharply at me.
Slumping my shoulders I huffed. “It’s better for everyone if they don’t know I’m back. And I’m not stalking them. I just like to see that you all are clearly better off without me.”
“No one is better off without you, Hope. And I can prove it to you.” She took me by my forearm, dragging me through the grass area and all the way until we were inside the Salvatore school. She keeps tugging me upstairs till we entered the attic allowing me to see Andrea who was rummaging through some boxes until she noticed us.
She lifted her head upright, eyeing me confused. “Uh hi Lizzie….you’re Hope, Hope Parker right?”
"Yes…I am." I shuttered trying to sound as confident as possible to keep my fake identity from being blown.
My cousin Andrea rose to her feet eyeing Lizzie more than me. "Lizzie, I didn't mean to go through your dad's stuff but I found some old files on a girl with the same last name as me. Do you know anything about that?"
I gulped cursing in my head at Dr. Saltzman not destroying all my files. Glancing over to the blonde I started to say. "Uh Lizzie…"
"Hope and you are actually related and I can prove it." The siphoner blurted out quickly grabbing Andrea's hand siphoning from her where they disappeared out of the room leaving me alone.
Frantically looking around the room I bolted towards the staircase searching for them. "Lizzie!!"
“Here it is, Klaus Mikaelson the Great Evil. Unfortunately my father came up with the title before your mom met your dad now let’s see…” The blonde siphon began flipping through book pages by the time I made it around the corner.
Snapping at her I didn’t want anyone to know I was back, especially this way. “Lizzie don’t!”
“Here we go, at first I couldn’t believe that it would be possible for such a murderous person to change but it has happened. Everyone in this town knows that it was Raelyn Lane who made Klaus Mikaelson become a better person but that is only half true. The people who changed him even more were his children Alina, Melissa and…Hope Mikaelson.” Lizzie slammed her hand on top of the book cover staring at her cousin standing in front of her.
Andrea drops her arms down at her side, utterly confused. “Wait, I don't get it. Lizzie, auntie Rae and uncle Nik don’t have four daughters. They only have three. This is a poor choice of words but what you are saying is crazy.”
“I’ll prove it to you. Get out here.” Lizzie stomped around the corner and snagged me by the arm until I was standing in front of my cousin. Lizzie crossed her arms standing behind me so I couldn’t bolt. “Tell her something only you two would know.”
Sighing heavily I rocked my brain to something that we talked about just the two of us. Something that neither of my siblings or our parents knew about. Tapping my foot on the wooden floor I quickly but quietly responded back. “You had a crush on Lizzie for a week when we were 14.”
“I…I’ve never told anyone that before.” Andrea blinks her eyes briefly. “You may be right, Lizzie. I’ll see you later.”
The pair watched the other werewitch leave their sights before I spun around on my feet snapping at the siphon twin who just put me in that position. “I can’t believe you just made me do that, Elizabeth. I don’t want to change anything around here if they have been happy without me. That doesn’t mean that we should blow the whole thing even though I miss my family and friends so much!”
“Urgh fine. But then that means you’re stuck with me. Because if I am around Josie or the rest of your family I will most likely blow your secret.” She huffed at me where I rolled my eyes heading towards the front school doors figuring we could head back over to the grill or something.
Unknown to the pair that had left Josie Saltzman was upstairs in the bedroom the twins shared. She was waiting for Landon to get back from looking for Rafael so her eyes scanned his room until they landed on a notebook on his desk. She walked over picking it up noticing a page was bookmarked and her curiosity got the better of her. “Even though I am in a relationship I can’t help but think of another girl's name running through my mind for some unexplainable reason. It’s a name I have never heard before and yet when I think about it in my dreams I wake up slightly smiling and confused. The mystery girl's name is…supposed to be Hope.”
Josie dropped the book running over to the bed grabbing her phone, dialing the first person she knew would have an answer or make her feel better. “Mom, it’s me. I ... I need to talk to you. I found something that I shouldn’t have. But you say that honestly is the best. I…I don’t know what to do. Please call me!” She sniffs through tears so confused while she held her knee to her chest needing her mother.
Raelyn’s pov
Walking into the Mystic Grill I stride up the bar finding my husband Nik sitting there with his back to me and I prayed that he didn’t know it was me behind him. Standing behind him I covered his eyes with my hands giggling in his ear. “Guess who?”
“Hmm Rebekah.” He joked back.
Shaking my head still covering his eyes I didn’t move. “Nope guess again.”
“Jacob.” He responded.
Removing my hands from his face I jumped down on the barstool directly beside him smacking him in the arm. “Do I have to throw you against the hallway by the bathrooms again for you to remember it’s me. You know your wife!”
“Never Rae Rae. Although I do have a bone to pick with you for leaving me in charge of our kids and the school.” He finally made eye contact with me leaning forward and closing the gap between us with a gentle kiss feeling me smile.
He drew back sliding me a drink over that I took seeing he had ordered bourbon that I had discovered I liked sometimes after the second set of twins pregnancy. "I'm sorry but I needed a break. If you want I can make it up to you." I smirked in his direction proudly.
Klaus smiled his wicked grin. "Oh I'd very much enjoy that." He leaned forward about to kiss me again until we heard the bar door opened and we saw Andrea rushing towards us in a panicked state.
"Auntie Rae, Uncle Nik!" She slides to a halt in front of us.
Jumping down from my barstool my husband follows me gently placing a hand on his niece's shoulder. "Andrea sweetheart, what's the matter?"
"That girl named Hope Parker. I…I think she is your daughter." She sniffs through tears.
Klaus and I both shifted our gazes between one another in silence until I lowered myself down on my knees to be eye level with the young werewitch. "Honey, I don't think she is our daughter. We only have three daughters, remember?"
“No. No auntie Raelyn I looked through the records of our family and there’s no record of a girl like Hope Parker. Olivia, Luke and Kai Parker are dead and bore no children. Plus she’s around our age so she has to be of your guy’s blood. She has to be!” Andrea pushed herself away from me sniffing through tears and the lights flickered around the room meaning she was letting her magic show until her phone vibrated and she calmed down. “It’s my mom. I have to go. But please think about what I said.”
Once she had left us alone Klaus stared down at me when I slowly rose to stand beside him again. He rubbed my back seeing that I was holding my bottom lip between my teeth lost in thought. “Raelyn, are you alright?”
“What if she is right…it could be possible. It’s impossible given what Kai did but it could have happened.” Shaking my head I stumbled backwards until he led me to sit down on a barstool. Holding a hand to my head I felt a headache coming on. “No way in hell would anyone fall for Kai. I mean people said that about you and me. But…he’s…he killed our family. He wanted to kill Lizzie and Josie.”
Klaus lifted his hand up slowly trailing his fingers through my hair trying to calm my nerves. “Rae, take a breath for me. This isn’t something you should stress about. We both know that Alaric banished Kai to a new prison world-“
“I know that he is trapped, Nik!” I snapped at him throwing my hands up where I was holding his face in my hand’s crying. His deep blue eyes focused on mine so much that I felt I almost would break. “He isn’t capable of finding love with someone so that means that ... .that she most likely is our daughter. If it’s true we are the worst parents in the world…”
Throwing my arms around his neck I buried my face against his chest as close as I possibly could. Staining his gray Henley with tears while gripping his shoulder blades in my fingernails. “Sssh Rae Rae…let’s get you home. I’ve got you, heretic queen.” I felt him gently lift me bridal style up into his familiar arms and he vamped us out of the grill thinking that there was a small chance that Andrea Lane might be right.
Comments really appreciated ❤️

9 | Heir of Slytherin
Series: Little Things
Paring: Mattheo Riddle x OFC Potter!
Word Count: 2k
A/N: Might be a few mistakes
| MASTERLIST |
"Potter!" I turn around raising an eyebrow at Draco. 
"Can I help you?" 
"Have you seen Theo? I can't find him anywhere." He groans. 
"Last I saw him, he was with Mattheo." We start to walk together. 
"Why Mattheo out of everyone?" He groans. 
"Because they are best guy friends." I laugh.
"Aren't you closer to him through?" Draco raises an eyebrow. 
"Yeah, but I said best guy friends. Not best friends. That's us two not them two. Don't get it confused." I point my finger at him actually making him chuckle. "Did I just make Draco Malfoy chuckle?" I grab his arm making us stop walking. 
"Keep it to yourself, Potter." He rolls his eyes as we walk again. 
"I'm surprised we are having a conversation without fighting." I say and I see him smile a little. 
"We have to fight at times because it would just make sense. But we don't have to all the time. You're a cool person when we leave out certain topics." He shoves me playfully.
"Gather round! Gather round! Can everyone see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent. In light of the dark events of recent weeks, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little Dueling Club, to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions -- for full details, see my published works." Lockhart starts off. 
"He's something isn't he." Mattheo whisper to me. 
"Totally agree." I whisper back. 
"Let me introduce my assistant Professor Snape. He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration. Now I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your Potions Master when I'm through with him, never fear!" Lockhart laughs.
Lockhart and Snape face each other and bow. They turn, walk ten paces, then spin pointing their wands like swords. 
"Expelliarmus!" A dazzling flash of scarlet light bursts forth and blasts Lockhart off his feet. 
"Excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don't mind my saying so, it was very obvious what you were about to do. If I had wanted to stop you it would have been only too easy..." Lockhart walks back to Snape. 
"Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor."
Lockhart picks Ron and Harry but Snape points out Ron's wand is not safe and picks Draco. "This isn't going to be pretty." I say as the two walk towards each other. 
They turn, walk ten paces, then whirl, wands poised. Draco fires early, knocking Harry off his feet with a blast of white light. Harry jumps up, points his wand and a jet of silver light hits Draco dead in the stomach. Snape picks him up tossing him back towards Harry. 
"Serpensortia!" The tip of Draco's wand explodes and a black snake slithers forth. 
Snape says he'll get it but Lockhart makes it worse trying and Harry ends up talking in Parseltongue. Snape waves his wand and the snake puffs into black smoke, then regards Harry with a look that is both shrewd and calculating.
"Your brother can speak to snakes?" The group follows me as we head to the common room. 
"Yeah. Last year he set a python on our cousin at the zoo. Before you ask, no, I can't speak to snakes." I tell them. 
"Hazel, are you worried that you two could be related to Salazar Slytherin. He was a Parelmouth." Enzo says as we get in the room. 
"If we were why would only Harry be able to speak it?" I ask them. 
"I don't know but you ended up in Slytherin." Theo speaks up. 
"No, isn't not Harry. We are related to him." I go to my room to be alone.
-
In no time again it was the holidays and students were leaving to go home. "A lot more students stayed this time than last year." Mattheo says as we sit at the table away from everyone.
"Yeah, we don't have the common room to ourselves this time." I laugh as we eat. 
"Hazel, are you going to eat that? Crabbe wants to know." Draco looks down at us. 
"Umm." Crabbe was already up taking my desert off my plate. "Sure, take it." I shake my head. 
"Here, have mine." Mattheo puts his out to mine. 
"No, you have it." I tell him making him groan. 
"Goyle, here have mine." Mattheo gets up giving it to him. 
"Really?" I raise an eyebrow at him. 
"You didn't want it and I don't wanna eat it in front of you." He smiles at me. 
"You're such a pain." I kick him under the table.
"You and Malfoy haven't been fighting for some weeks." He starts a new topic. 
"We haven't since the dueling club. It's weird at times when we laugh about something." I nod my head looking over at Draco. 
"Do you like him Hazel Potter?" Mattheo says in a playful tone. 
"Oh, yeah. Totally. Really, Matty?" I laugh. 
"I know. Ready to leave?" I nod my head and we get up leaving. 
As we sit in the common room Draco comes in joining our conversation for sometime. "Where are they? They said they would be right here. Potter, Riddle come with me to find them." Draco gets up. 
"I'm bored sitting here so why not." I jump up. "Matty?" I put my hand out to him and he gets up too.
As we turn the corner we see Crabbe, Goyle, and Percy. "Crabbe. Goyle. Where have you been? Pigging out in the Great Hall all this time?" Draco says walking towards them with us following behind. 
"Why you wearing glasses?" Draco asks Goyle and it takes me a second that it's Harry and Ron. 
"Uh reading." Harry takes off his glasses and I mentally slap him for saying such a thing. 
"Reading. I didn't know you could read." He says before turning to Percy. 
 "And what are you doing down here, Weasley?" As he asks I hit Harry slightly. 
"Mind your attitude, Malfoy." Percy says before we leave him I apologize to him as I pass him.
As we enter the Common Room Harry and Ron glance around warily. "You're being suspicious." I whisper to the both of them before walking over to the table to sit with Mattheo. 
"Listen to this." Draco grabs The Daily Prophet, reads the front page. "Arthur Weasley, Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office, was today fined fifty Galleons for bewitching a Muggle car. Weasley has brought the Ministry into disrepute, said Lucius Malfoy, a governor of Hogwarts. He is clearly unfit to draw up our laws and his ridiculous Muggle Protection Act should be scrapped immediately." 
Mattheo moves closer to me, "That's Harry and Ron isn't it." He whispers and I nod my head.
"Arthur Weasley loves Muggle so much he should snap his wand in half and go join them. You'd never know the Weasleys were purebloods, the way they behave. Embarrassment to the wizarding world. All of them." Ron growls making Harry elbows him and Draco looks surprised. "What's up with you, Crabbe?" He asks him. 
"Stomachache." Ron says in a low voice. 
"Well, go to the hospital wing and give all those Mudbloods a kick in the arse for me! You know, I'm surprised The Daily Prophet hasn't reported all these attacks yet. I suppose Dumbledore's trying to hush it all up. He'll be sacked if it doesn't stop soon. Father always said Dumbledore's the worst thing that's ever happened to this place." Draco says making Harry say he's wrong. "What? Did you say that I was wrong? You think there's someone here who's worse than Dumbledore?" Draco asks him and I point my finger at him to say himself. 
"Harry Potter." Draco grins.
"Good one, Goyle. You're absolutely right. Saint Potter. He's another one with no proper wizard feeling, or he wouldn't go around with that Mudblood Granger. And people actually think he's the Heir of Slytherin." I roll my eyes at that word again as Harry and Ron exchange a glance. 
"Malfoy, his sister is right here. Who is just like him." I make him turn around rolling his eyes. 
"Then you must have some idea who's behind it all?" Harry asks him. 
"You know I haven't, Goyle. How many times do I have to tell you? But my father did say this much: It's been fifty years since the Chamber was opened. He wouldn't tell me who opened it -- only that they were expelled -- but I know this: the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a Mudblood died. So it's only a matter of time before one of them is killed this time. As for me... I hope it's Granger." As Draco grins, Ron's fist rises when Harry stops him and Mattheo has to do the same to me too.
"What's the matter with you two You're acting very... odd." He looks at them funny. 
"They probably ate something bad. And I mean really bad." Mattheo talks about the two. 
"Hey, Malfoy!" I shout throwing something at him. 
"You little." He glares at me. 
"Hey, stop it both of you. Let's go, Hazel." Mattheo drags me to the dorms. "There went the no fighting." He laughs as we go into his room. 
"He talked bad about my brother and friends so." I fall back on his bed. 
"Being completely honest, I like when you two fight." He sits next to me. 
"Why do you say that?" I raise an eyebrow sitting up. 
"Because I can protect you from him when he's an ass to you, I can't do that when you both laugh together." I can't help but laugh at him. 
"You can't protect me 24/7. I should go to bed. Night Matty." I go to the door. 
"Night Hazie."
-
"Hazel! Does Mattheo know anyone named Tom Riddle? Tom Marvolo Riddle?" Harry comes running up to me. 
"I would have to ask him. Why?" I ask. 
"I found a diary in the girls bathroom when Moaning Myrtle overflowed the bathroom. It had his name on the back and listen to this. When I wrote in the diary it wrote back. It took me back to see something fifty years ago. Apparently Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets." Harry tells me. 
"Hagrid? No." I say since I actually know who did. I guess Tom Riddle was Mattheo's father. "I'll go find Mattheo and ask him."  I say but he then shows up. 
"Hey Harry." He smiles. 
"Do you know who Tom Riddle is?" Harry asks him and he looks at me. 
"Umm...Never heard of him." Mattheo lies to him. 
"I found his diary. He knew about the Chamber of Secrets." Harry says and this makes Mattheo act up.
"I'm sorry but I can't help you. I know nothing about my family." He takes off from us. 
"Is he okay?" Harry asks me. 
"He doesn't know a lot about us family. Just that they were death eaters later in life. Excuse me, I'm gonna go make sure he's okay." I leave Harry jogging after Mattheo. "Calm down." I grab his arm. 
"Calm down! How am I supposed to calm down when any second you and your brother can find out who my father is!" He rips his arm away from me. 
"He's really that bad?" My voice gets small. 
"Yes! I don't want you both to know who he is! Mostly you, you dumbass." 
I step back from him, "I'll give you some space you asshole.
I stayed in my room with the girls saying Mattheo was just having a mood swing and we will be fine later. "Professor Snape wants all of us in the common room." Pansy pops her head in so we go join everyone. 
"Because of recent events, these new rules will be put into effect immediately: All students will return to their house common rooms by 6:00 every evening. All students will be escorted to each lesson by a teacher. No exceptions." Snape reads to us then leaves. 
When it was night out I sneak out to go see Harry and Ron after being the last to find out about Hermione. As I was walking I bump into something but nothing was there. 
"We were coming to get you." Ron leaks his head out before pulling me under the cloak.

the best part of the fortnite articles wasn't even posted
Theres one with like 3 paragraphs going in depth about how lando was actually calling lewis "lulu" instead of "lewlew" and was "mocking and demasculating him" by "equating his name to that of a female's." (this is also inaccurate, for anyone who has fallen for it, because I've seen this idea floating around a few different socials). i wasn't feeling well mentally and had the day off, and i watched the whole stream. he ALWAYS referred to the lewis characters as "lewlew," usually in a very fond/excited to see them way/tone.
then this same article tried to claim he had his character bow at lewis' feet to make up for the mocking and i just — yeah. yeah. he meant to do that. that explains why he was so embarrassed he covered his face and looked away from the stream for several moments lmao.
and then don't even get me started on the oscar "mortally wounding" lando claim. that's based off nothing lando has ever said. he was disappointed in himself for making so many mistakes in Qatar, but he was never disappointed in oscar for doing better. He's mentioned Qatar and congratulated oscar in every single season in review video I've seen. This claim is based off some shit brundle was spewing. which is why i am once again, begging for all of the "British bias" bullshit to stop when it comes to non-merc drivers. Like there's a British driver on the grid who actually had the worst season of his career (I'll give you a hint: his name isn't in this message) and basically came last of the drivers in top teams that people had high hopes for, yet you still have brundle and sky calling him a future WDC and an imminent threat to lewis while basically throwing a #LandoNorrisIsOver party. The whole thing is quite funny.
(sorry if you got 2 messages like this, my internet keeps being weird so i wasn't sure the first one sent)
jesus fucking christ people are DELUSIONAL. i suddenly feel a lot better about overanalysing max/lewis as a ship, compared to people saying lando using a nickname is demasculating. i mean - lando is called lala by his cousin, i'd reckon he's got lewlew from it.
they are OVER analysing NOOTHING here. he didn't bow down he fucking clicked to make his character duck and then got flustered bc it looked like his female character was giving head to lewis lmao.
lando's the best fucking teammate on the grid. never seen anyone as supportive of his teammate as him. i think im not getting your lines but it might be bc i'm tired. and yeah british bias is the worst of all of them. even viaplay's dicksucking of max is nothing in comparison.
oh yeah my favorite british driver! how dare you speak truths about him. it's so fucked up to me how the british media is so fucking negative about good drivers (also w lewis' 'this is lewis' second season without wins' or something post like HELLO he's also a 7 time wdc) or how they (like everyone, really) keep underestimating lando. if i were british media i'd be embarrassingly proud of my countrymates. every mistake they make is fine dw you're the best and every good thing they do gets praised into the heavens. but no, of course they only do it with mr Public Relations. and not mental-health awareness lando or activist-for-everything and also the only black guy on the grid lewis.
fucking tired of F1 journalism. can they all collectively stop? scrap presscons too, only give us post-race interviews on the paddock and then w everyone and done. i'd be happy. all drivers will be happy.

being suicidal is pretty funny sometimes. pretty much everyone in my family who doesn't die of cancer dies by suicide. got all my matrilineal grandmas for the past like 200 years, plus mom's dad, an uncle, a cousin on my dad's side, etc. mom's tried before. people in my family love to kill themselves it's like our one uniting pastime transcending all politics and opinions. me n my siblings all have that mental illness mental hospital patient swag too but i got on meds that work seven years ago and i've been golden since. written a bunch of fiction about characters dealing with generational curses and suicidality and chronic pain and grief. have had people tell me that those stories saved them and/or gave them strength at extremely dark times in their lives.
which is awesome except now my immune system has started trying to kill me, i guess as a punishment for not ending things when i was 15. which is making me suicidal for the first time in ages. but this time it's for extremely reasonable reasons of, like, 'you can only lose so much of your brain function and ability to move and capacity for pain before it's just simple logic to die about it.' got an OC i project alla that on so i can write it when i can write, which is hit-or-miss due to the aforementioned brain function stuff, but it's like. NOW if i kill myself everyone who was helped by my writing is gonna think it was all a lie and that life really is hopeless bc if i couldn't escape the generational curse then why should they, and it's just. like. no guys i SWEAR i meant it and still do mean it. it's still relevant for you. i am just dying for reasons that are completely unrelated. chill out
anyway i'm not allowed to die by suicide OR by autoimmune disease because i too have been forbidden by my life partners, & it would actually ruin their lives if i did, so i'm not in danger or anything. most of the time i'm very well-adjusted and coping excellently. and i hope you're taking care of yourself as well. it's just like DAMN. i really gotta fight EVERY GODDAMN DAY for the next SIXTY YEARS?? EVERY GODDAMN DAY?? AM I NOT ALLOWED ONE FUCKING BREAK,
man that sucks ASS. i mean. it's like kind of funny that your entire family lineage appears to be fucking cursed. but in a "god that sucks" kind of way not a "haha" way.
NOW if i kill myself everyone who was helped by my writing is gonna think it was all a lie and that life really is hopeless bc if i couldn't escape the generational curse then why should they, and it's just. like. no guys i SWEAR i meant it and still do mean it. it's still relevant for you. i am just dying for reasons that are completely unrelated. chill out
anyway i'm not allowed to die by suicide OR by autoimmune disease because i too have been forbidden by my life partners, & it would actually ruin their lives if i did, so i'm not in danger or anything.
these are hella fuckin relatable. the main reasons i cant kms are
girlfriend would be so sad :(
it means i wasted ppls money sending me to college
if i kms then who will finish my comics???? who will talk casually about incest on this damn webbed site???
i often describe it as less of wanting to kms and more like i want a break from life. like a nice coma or something. or the ability to skip over periods of time. UNFORTUNATELY i must SUFFER to LIVE. SAD oh well guess I'll embrace the good and bad the world has to offer, as if I have a CHOICE!!

A friend's trust
Hey, so I guess it was about time I finally wrote down my pretty much first actual vorish story. It's my first piece of writing I've done, so I'm excited to see if y'all like it.
This is just a little side story (which would relate to the big one I might actually get to write someday, haven't decided yet), featuring my main OC Hyacinth the Fairy, his roommate Galen the Minotaur, 4 of my other OC-s sprinkled in, and of course, noms.
Containing: Soft and safe vore, some language (nothing too bad), ✨️emotions✨️, probably an acceptable amount of grammatical errors (yes english isn't my first language how did u know) and around 3500 words.

A red Maserati was parking in front of an apartment building. A Siren, wearing a sleeveless turtleneck was sitting behind the wheel, his phone in his hand.
"Matty, if you don't get your ass into the car within the next 5 minutes, you can walk all the way to the cinema."
Half of a "Just a minute!" could be heard from the other side of the phone, before the Siren hung up the call. "He'll be here in a sec."
"You sure you don't wanna come with us, Hyacinth?" asked the girl sitting in the passenger seat, from the pointy eared guy standing next to the car. She was wearing a yellow top and denim shorts, and Hyacinth was wearing a purple shirt with black jeans, a crystal necklace hanging from his neck.
"Nah, I got some homework to do, and I know if I put it on for longer than needed, I'll just end up not doing it." Hyacinth said. "But you guys have fun!"
Faint music could be heard from the back of the car. A Telkhine was playing on his Switch on the backseat, his hood pulled over his head, music leaking from his earbuds.
"Just make sure he won't be doing that during the movie." Hyacinth said. He knew how hard it was to snap Idios out of  gaming trance once he got into it.
"Don't worry about it, he's been wanting to watch this movie ever since people started talking about how surprisingly good it was." the girl said. "I hope they're right, the animation looks promising, that's for sure."
The front door of the apartment slammed open with a gust of wind, and a chubby, white-haired guy in a jacket came running through. "I'M HERE!" he said, out of breath. "I just - *huff* - had to grab some stuff."
"Why the hell are you wearing that? It's like 20°C." the Siren in the driver's seat asked.
"Because of this, Kal." Matthias (Matty) said, unzipping his jacket, revealing the snacks that were taped to the inside. "Do you know how overpriced the stuff they sell at the cinema is?"
Hyacinth couldn't help but chuckle at this, Kalais (Kal) just rolled his eyes. "Sure, whatever you say."
"Hey, the passenger is my seat!" Matt said, as he noticed his cousin sitting next to Kalais. "Reka, lemme in!"
"Not a chance." Reka said. "Maybe next time don't take that long."
Matty begrudgingly sat next to Idios in the backseat, whose eyes were still glued to his console.
"Is everyone here? Cool." Kal said, and he turned to Hyacinth. "Okay, I plan on getting something to eat after the film, so we'll be back in around 3 hours. Want us to grab something for you?"
3 hours. That was more than enough time for Hyacinth to do what he was planning. "Nothing, thanks. You guys should get going tho, the movie is starting soon."
Kal looked at the time on his phone. "You're right. Well, let's go!" he said to Hyacinth, and winked at him.
"See ya later!" Reka and Matt, in sync. Idios just gave a nod, as he was semi-listening to what was going on while gaming.
"Bye guys!" Hyacinth said, and watched the Maserati drive away, until it disappeared behind a corner.
4 of his roommates left for 3 hours, leaving only him and his 5th roommate alone at home. It couldn't have gotten more perfect for Hyacinth. He quickly turned around and went back to the building, and back to his apartment to put his plan into motion.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The apartment was unusually quiet, with 4 out of it's 6 inhabitants gone. The apartment was small, but cozy: it had a kitchen/dining area, a living room, a bathroom and a 6-in-1 bedroom. Next to the bedroom door was a dial, with the names of Hyacinth and his roommates' names on it, currently set to the name "Matthias". It served as a kind of portal, each name belonging to a room with a different interior. It was a quite popular little thing invented by some welsh wizard, it made the housing situation much more manageable. 
The place was owned by Hyacinth's 5th roommate, Galen. The Highland Minotaur was in the living room area, reading a book while laying on the couch. He was wearing his signature green sweater with a daisy crocheted on the part around his heart. Hyacinth was in the dining area, writing an essay on his laptop.
"Nice change of pace." Hyacinth broke the silence between the 2 of them. "Some peace and quiet."
"Agreed." Galen didn't even look up from his book. "I love them, but Gods, they can drain a person quickly." Hyacinth gave an agreeing hum, and went back to typing.
...Well, at least tried to, because his mind was wandering off to someplace else. It was just him and Galen, alone, with no one to disturb them. 3 hours wasn't that long, and he didn't want to waste any of that time. So, after a few minutes of typing, he spoke again.
"Hey, Galen?"
"Hm?"
"Can I… ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"We've been... friends for a while, right?" he could feel his heart pounding in his chest.
There was a moment of silence.
"Yeeeah, why?" Galen was rather confused by the question. He has known the Fairy for almost 10 years at that point, him and Kal were the closest people to him outside of his family.
Hyacinth walked to the couch, his hands fidgeting. He thought he was better prepared for this, but he clearly wasn't. His legs felt like jelly, and his face was as red as a tomato.
A little tuft of fur around Galen' eye moved. That was the equivalent of an eyebrow raise, since his eyes weren't visible from the fur on his head. "Dude, are you... okay?" Galen asked in a concerned voice. Hyacinth looked like he was about to pass out, and the Minotaur sprung up from the couch, ready to support him. "Here, just sit do-"
"WILLYOUEATME?" Hyacinth asked without a break between words, immediately covering his face with his hands after it.
Galen was flabbergasted by the question. For a few seconds, none of them said a word: Galen from the shock, Hyacinth from the embarrassment. They were just standing in front of the couch in silence.
"I, uhh, what?" Galen was the first one to speak up.
"I- I just-" Hyacinth was trying really hard not to break down crying.
"Hey, hey, it's okay!" the Minotaur was trying to reassure his friend. "Just sit down, here!" he said, as he helped Hyacinth onto the couch. He sat down next to him, his hand on the Fairy's shoulder.
"I-I'm sorry." Hyacinth began, fighting with tears. "It's- It's just that I always wanted to know how it'd feel like to be inside someone- Oh, Oberon, this must sound so fucking weird." he said, and let out a weak chuckle.
"No, no. It's okay." Galen said. He knew about people who enjoyed being eaten. It wasn't a common thing by any means, but it wasn't as weird as it sounded. "Just continue."
Hyacinth took a deep breath. "I wanted to try it out for the longest time, but I couldn't. I spent most of my life between the walls of my family's chateau, and my mother always made sure I wasn't gone longer than a few hours each day, so I didn't get to talk to anyone about this. If she knew about this... Oh, Oberon, I don't even know how she'd react. Perhaps she'd just see me as even more of a disappointment, if that's even possible at this point..." the Fairy went quiet for a minute.
Galen didn't really know what to say, so he just kept gently rubbing his friend's back. He didn't know Hyacinth's mother personally, but from what he heard about her, he was certain she wouldn't have been okay with the situation. He couldn’t imagine what she would’ve done if she found out, but it wouldn’t have been a pretty sight.
"Now that I'm away from home I feel so free, I finally have the chance to figure out things about myself!" Hyacinth continued. "I probably could've asked someone on the Internet to help me with this, but I wanted it to be someone I knew I can trust." he turned to Galen, his yellow eyes glittering with tears. "You're the person I trust the most in the world, Galen, I mean it. I figured there wasn't a better guy to ask than you, but if you don't want to, I understand. It's still a really weird thing to ask from someone. I'm sorry."
Galen was greatly touched by what Hyacinth said. He figured the Fairy's at home situation wasn't the best, but hearing how much trust the Fairy has in him really moved him. Tho he didn't really know what to say, because Hyacinth was right, it was still a rather... unusual request. But he wasn't going to let this stop him from supporting his friend.
"For a second, I thought you were asking me out on a date or something." he said, smiling.
"What? No! I would never!" Hyacinth said. "No wait, not in that way!" he quickly added after realizing how bad his first sentence sounded. "You're the greatest person I know, and you look hella fine too, but I know you're just not into the whole romance thing."
Galen couldn't help but laugh a little. "It's okay! I got it the first time, don't worry. And thanks for keeping that in mind, I appreciate it."
Hyacinth rubbed the tears from his eyes. "I'll just go back to finishing that essay." he stood up, but Galen stopped him.
"No. Let’s do it."
The Fairy quickly turned to the Minotaur, his eyes wide from surprise. "Really?"
"Yeah, I'll help however I can dude, you can trust me. Just... are you sure you'll be okay?" the Minotaur asked. "I don't want to accidentally hurt you or something. I mean, being inside someone sounds kinda... dangerous?"
"Oh, don't worry about that, I'm already prepared!" Hyacinth said enthusiastically. "I'm very good with healing magic, so even if I get hurt, I can just fix myself. I've also been practicing teleportation, so I could get out whenever I wanted, but we might not even be needing that, since you're a Minotaur. You guys ruminate like cows do, so coughing me up wouldn't be difficult, well, at least while I'm in the first 2 parts of your stomach. That's partially why I asked you in the first place!"
Galen had no words. "Well damn, you really do know your stuff." The Fairy's thirst for knowledge never stopped amazing him.
Hyacinth blushed. "You know me, learning about the world is like breathing to me. Now, let's get to it, because If Kal bought both 4 movie tickets and food for everybody for nothing, he's gonna kill me."
"Hold up, what?"
"Yeeeah, he's the only other person who knows. I told him what I was planning and how I needed time to be alone with you, and he was like "Don't worry dude, I got you.", and the rest is history."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hyacinth was standing on the kitchen table, missing his necklace and approximately 155 cm-s from his height, leaving him at 5. Galen was kneeling next to the table, his head around the same level as Hyacinth.
"Last chance to turn back, you still wanna do it?" Galen asked from Hyacinth.
"Ready as I’ll ever be!" the Fairy replied excitedly.
"Alright, but if there's anything wrong, or you feel uncomfortable, you get out of me immediately. I don't know if we'll be able to hear each other once you're, well, inside of me."
"Got it! And if you want me out of you, you can just cough me up."
Galen couldn't help but laugh. "We are talking about this wayyy too casually."
"Yeah, yeah. Now, open up, big guy!"
"You're way too excited about this." Galen said, and lowered his chin onto the table. He slowly opened his mouth, granting full access to Hyacinth.
"O-oh, wow." Hyacinth said, as he slowly approached the gaping maw of the Minotaur. He slowly reached out his hand and touched the giant tongue in front of him. It was warm, wet, and spongy. He didn't want to waste any more time, so he climbed into his friend's mouth.
If the Minotaur's breath was humid, then the inside of his mouth was like a rainforest. The dripping saliva and the heat was overwhelming, but the smell was relatively nice, since Galen always paid close attention to personal hygiene.
Galen lifted his head off the table, which made Hyacinth stumble and fall flat onto the tongue he was standing on. He quickly collected himself, but also realized that he should've picked some more expendable clothes than the ones he was wearing.
"Alright, I'm ready! I'll be seeing you in a while. Well, technically, I'll be only seeing you for a while, am I right?"
Galen couldn't help but sigh at this, which made a blast of warm air hit Hyacinth in the face, making him fall over again. A "SOHHY" could be heard all around Hyacinth, accompanied with the rumble of the entire mouth.
"It's OK!" said the Fairy, making a thumbs-up that no one else but him could see.
Galen's mouth started to close, trapping the tiny Hyacinth in complete darkness. He made a few movements with his hands, which made a ball of light appear, illuminating the cavernous mouth of the Minotaur. The light reflected from the large, saliva covered molars of Galen, giving the mouth a sort of cozy vibe. This feeling didn't last long however, as the tongue moved under Hyacinth, pressing him into the side of Galen' mouth, which was noticeably softer and wetter than the tongue. Galen moved Hyacinth around in his mouth like a hard candy, and Hyacinth found the experience quite enjoyable, if a bit rough.
Then, for a moment, everything stopped. Galen tilted his head back, creating a slope with his tongue. He pushed up the muscle, sending Hyacinth tumbling towards the gaping abyss of his throat. One loud *GLLK* , and the little Fairy was on his way down to the first of the bovine's 4 stomach compartments.
The esophagus was less tight around Hyacinth than he was expecting. Instead of the stop-and-go feeling he was expecting, the journey down was more like the world's slowest water slide. On the outside, there was a barely visible lump on Galen’s throat. Hyacinth didn't know how much time had passed, but eventually, he reached the sphincter, and after he got pushed through it, he plopped into the first stomach part of his friend, the rumen. It was large, relatively dry, and filled with the remains of Galen's lunch.
"Okay, I'm down! Say something if you can hear me!" Hyacinth shouted, but he didn't get any response. "Aight, can't be heard from the stomach, noted."
Not much was happening in there, since the rumen was mostly for microbes to start breaking down plant based materials, which, luckily, wasn't what Hyacinth was made of. The main thing happening in there that affected Hyacinth were the movements of the walls, which helped breaking down the food into smaller bits - and in Hyacinth's case, thrashing him around. After a while, Hyacinth and the food mush was transferred to the 2nd stomach area, the reticulum, which was pretty much the same as the rumen, maybe a bit smaller and more active.
After a little more of getting thrown around, Hyacinth found himself back in the esophagus - except this time, he was moving upwards. The way up was just as slow - maybe even slower - as the way down, and Hyacinth was soon back in Galen's mouth, with the food pieces that didn't turn into complete mush. Galen started chewing, making sure his friend did not end up between his molars. While chewing, a gurgling sound could be heard from the Minotaur's stomach, and a burp left his mouth, making Hyacinth tear up a little from the smell.
"ESCHYOOS ME!" the Minotaur tried to say
"I'm fine!" the Fairy said, wiping the tears from his eyes. He knew what he was getting himself into, he wasn't going to quit because of a little smell.
"WAHHA GEH OUH?"
"Nah, I'll be okay, the fun part is about to begin!" Hyacinth said, and Galen sent his friend back down, into the 3rd part of his stomach. The omasum was noticeably less spacious than the previous 2 areas, the walls were nearly hugging Hyacinth. The food mush around him lost a lot from it's moisture in the omasum, making it the consistency of dough. Hyacinth and the breakfast bits were soon escorted into the final stomach part, the abomasum.
If you had to name a main stomach amongst the 4 parts, that was definitely the winner. The usually dry plop was replaced with a wet one, soaking Hyacinth with enzymes and acids. This was the part that was the closest to Galen embracing Hyacinth in the inside. It was wet, gurgly, and tight - and Hyacinth loved every second of it. He felt like he could simply just fall asleep in there. However, after a while, he started feeling a tingly sensation on his skin, and, considering this was the one stomach that was suitable to digest non-plant based material, Hyacinth figured this was the curtain call of his little adventure inside his friend. Hyacinth drew some runes into the air with his fingers, and suddenly, he found himself in the blinding light of the living room.
He was laying on his back on the coffee table in front of the couch. Galen was sitting on said couch, and when he saw Hyacinth, a weight lifted from his chest.
"Thank the GODS it's over! Holy fuck, I was getting so worried, the last hour after I swallowed you back down felt like an eternity. Never ask me to do this again, I need like a drink after this or something."
Hyacinth slowly got himself together, and looked down at his clothes, drenched in saliva, acids and food particles. "Aww man, and I liked this shirt too..."
Galen just rolled his eyes. "Well, did you have fun? Or was me worrying myself into an early grave in the last hour in vain?"
"Dude, it was incredible!" said Hyacinth, with a smile on his face. "It was wild and overwhelming, but also comfy at the same time. The second half of the trip much better honestly, more exciting stuff happened, felt like I was getting a full body massage and-"
"Alright, alright, I don't need to hear any of this.” Galen stopped his friend before he could go into any more details. He was happy for him, but he chose blissful ignorance about knowing how he looked on the inside. “I'm just glad you had fun. Now, go and take a shower while I go and, I don’t know, burn your clothes or something. Here, put this thing back on." Galen gave Hyacinth his necklace back, which was comically large on the Fairy in his current size. This quickly changed, since the moment the jewelry was in the Fairy’s neck, he quickly grew back to his "human" size.
"Sweet, back to size XXL. Well, I’ll just be in the shower for the next 30 minutes or so." he hopped off the table, and made his way into the bathroom, but not before turning back to his roommate. "Hey, Galen?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks. This meant... a lot to me, believe it or not."
The bull smiled. "I know."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Man, you two missed out, this was the best movie I've seen in a while!" Idios said to Hyacinth and Galen, sitting next to them on the couch. "I mean, the first one wasn't bad either, but this? This was cinema."
"Gotta agree with Idios on this one, it was pretty good." Matty was putting leftovers into the microwave from the dinner they had. "Just absolutely hilarious."
"I love how it handled the darker themes without dumbing them down, that's rare nowadays." Idios replied.
"Also: the wolf was hot as fuck." Kal said, before putting a spoonful of fried rice into his face.
"Was everything okay while we were gone?" Reka asked while she put her leftovers in the fridge.
Hyacinth and Galen looked at each other.
"It was okay, nothing special happened." Galen said. Hyacinth looked at Kal and gave him a wink, which made the Siren smirk.
Hyacinth yawned. "Well, I think I'll go and hit the hay. See you guys tomorrow." he said, and made his way towards the bedroom dial. He turned it, so his name would be next to the doorknob, and opened the door.
"Wait, I almost forgot! I wanted to ask you about something." Kal said, and quickly followed Hyacinth into his room. He locked the door behind them, and sat down on the bed, next to Hyacinth.
"Well? How did it go?" he whispered, as his face was glowing with curiosity.
"It was great!" Hyacinth said, scratching the back of his head.
"Sweeet! High-five!" the Siren raised his hand, and Hyacinth slammed his palm into it. "Oh, that reminds me, go and check your messages!"
"Oookay?" Hyacinth pulled out his phone and looked at the messages sent by Kal: it was pictures of different guys - some of which he recognised - with their names next to them. He looked at Kal, confused. "...What's this?"
"You said you were looking for a relationship, sooo, I did a little digging and found these guys: they're all single, go to the same Uni as we do, and would be open to the occasional "snack". Maybe you'll find one who could be the one."
Hyacinth just stared at his phone for a few seconds, his eyes getting wet. "Kal, you really shouldn't ha-"
"Nonsense!" Kalais shut him down before he could finish the sentence, and put his hand on Hyacinth's shoulder. "You're my friend, and you deserve someone you can feel comfortable next to, inside of, or best case scenario, both. Now go and rest, I feel like you had quite the adventure." and with that, the Siren hopped off the bed, and left the room.
Hyacinth looked through the pictures Kal sent him one last time, before putting down his phone and turning down the lights in his room. He was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about the thing the Siren said.
"Comfortable next to, inside of them, or both, huh?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Here's some little side notes/explanation/random stuff
"Oh, Oberon" is the Fae equivalent of "Oh God". Oberon is the immortal king of the Fae (Fairies, Gnomes, Elves, Changelings, etc.) in my OC world.
Similarly, Galen saying "Oh Gods" refers to the Greek pantheon.
The gust of wind that opened the apartment door was made by Matthias, who's a Garaboncias. They're human like creature from Hungarian folklore who can control the weather.
Telkhines are semi-aquatic dog like creatures from Greek mythology, usually related to blacksmithing, magic and poisons.
Kalais is a Siren in the mythological sense, so more of a bird person rather than a mermaid like creature (there's some fish traits tho).
Hyacinth's necklace serves roughly as a size/form stabiliser. Every creature who is either too small, too big, or not humanoid enough gets one, so they can "blend in" better amongst humans.
For the folks who use the imperial system: 20°C is roughly around 70° Fahrenheit, 5cm is around 2 inches, putting Hyacinth's "big height" around 160 cm/5'2.
Hyacinth has family issues that will be brought up in future writing stuff (my boy needs help)
Anyways, thanks for reading! If y'all got any questions, my inbox is always open. Well, see y'all later!
