Convos with Rin pt 2
Rin x Gn! Reader
No warnings! Just pure fluff, as with the first one you can read this as purely platonic if you'd like. Part 1 here.
“What’s your ideal type?” You ask suddenly.
The breeze blows through where the two of you sit on the bleachers, causing a strand of hair to pull from behind your ear to drift in the breeze.
“I dunno, never thought about it.” Rin replies, his brow furrowed slightly.
“Pfffft– laaaame.” You drag out, snickering mentally at the way his eyebrows crease at the sound.
“Then what’s yours?” He asks.
“Easy!” You say with a grin. “An eldritch horror.”
“I– what?” He questions, his head turning to meet your carefree gaze.
“An eldritch horror.” You repeat.
“Explain?”
“Well, it’s like this: “Oh Cuthulu, harbinger of destruction and insanity, you ask me, a mere mortal, to become one with you for eternity? I’d be honored, o old one.” You say dramatically, crossing your hands along your chest in a dramatic manner as you serenade an imaginary Old One.
“Why the hell would you want that?” 
“I don’t know about you, but near eternal slumber sounds like a delight to me.”
“…god you’re weird.” He says after a while, but his words hold no real weight to them.
“Hey, you talked to me first!” You protest, looking at him in mock offense. “You grabbed the shovel and dug your own grave, don't you forget that.”
“My biggest regret.” Rin says lowly.
“…I wish it was.” You say somewhat wistfully, your eyes briefly glimpsing a bittersweet memory out on the snow.
“What?”
“Nothing.” You say, shaking your head. "How was your game Rinrin?”
“Don’t call me that.” He says curtly.
“Oh okay.”
You sit in silence for a while, taking in the breeze and the distant sounds of children playing before you open up your mouth again.
“How was your game dipshit?”
“You can fuck right off.”
“Hey, I wouldn’t have to resort to petty insults if you just admitted you like the nickname.”
“…whatever.” He scowls, turning away from you.
Unfortunately for him, you can see the tint of red on his cheeks.
“Oho? Is that a blush I see? The prince of darkness has feelings? Oh my god they grow up so fast.” You coo out, much to his annoyance.
“I should just leave.”
“But you won’t!”
“…but I won’t.”
“Heh, love you too.” You say with a grin. “You didn’t answer my question though.”
“It was the same as usual.” He relents with a sigh, and the conversation moves from there, flowing like the lazy breeze on that summer day.

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!
I was tagged by @dudeyuri to answer these BB related questions by @fiercynn Thank youuu <3 these are always fun but I often forget to do them u_u
note: i consider "fanworks" to pretty much everything people create related to a fandom, including but not limited to meta/analysis/discussion, gifs, fanvids/edits/fancams, filk, fanart, fanfic, fan food, fan crafts, etc. please include this note with the meme unless you have a different definition
name and whatever you want to share about yourself
I’m Maggie (Magui), from Argentina, in my 30s, just enjoying the creative burst this show (which I love very, very much) gave me until it petters out. I’ve been in a loOOooOOoot of fandoms under different usernames over the years and I tend to delete stuff from the internet without much warning, so save what you like (but don’t repost, please!)
when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom?
I watched it from episode 1 as it aired and could feel the brain rot spreading week after week but didn’t write fic until the day after the last episode came out, and I don’t think I posted any drawings until one or two months later? But I have the first couple of doodles I made on an old sketchbook after the first ep! (note I needed to write their names to remember what they were)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
favorite ship(s)
PatPran and InkPa
favorite character(s)
I really can’t choose so I’ll say Nong Nao.
favorite episode(s)
I have a soft spot for ep 11 - running away together to a safe place, both trying to understand each other, the silly guy scene, Our Song, the imaginary montage at the end, the memory of watching it for the first time and being sucker punched by the ep 12 preview??? perfect all around x_x
favorite scene(s)
Off the top of my head (and in chronological order): the trashcan scene in ep 1, the bus stop role-play, rooftop kiss, the last scene/montage in ep 7, the simultaneous parent confrontation and rooftop meeting in ep 10, the silly guy convo at the beach, the last scene with the tin cans on ep 12 ;_;
one thing you would change about the show if you could
I think everyone answered the same thing but the whole Wai conflict and how they resolved it (including maybe Pat getting shot, though at this point would it really be BBS without Pat getting shot?)
what are your some of your favorite fanworks made by other people? 
I'll stick to people instead of particular fanworks, and only those I know for sure are on Tumblr so I can tag them, I'm really sorry if I forget someone!!
@architectxengineer @kit-teung @kornswasianguyswag @miscellar @dimplesandfierceeyes @yourunwiththewolves @icouldhyperfixatehim @fiercynn @charthanry @isaksbestpillow @pransobrave @faillen @jemmo @snickerdoodlles @alexshenry @nanons @mantrisanu
(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?
Have I shown you the fridge magnets I made over a year ago? They’re pretty wonky but I think they're cute, considering I don’t know what I’m doing
Tumblr media
a song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol)
youtube
I'll tag the same people I mentioned above, if you haven't done it and want to:
@architectxengineer @kit-teung @kornswasianguyswag @miscellar @dimplesandfierceeyes @yourunwiththewolves @icouldhyperfixatehim @fiercynn @charthanry @isaksbestpillow @pransobrave @faillen @jemmo @snickerdoodlles @alexshenry @nanons @mantrisanu

Oh god last night i smoked a bowl after drinking tea with hops & lemonbalm & valerian tincture and i seriously fucking tripped out. Weird ass visuals which were actual images, instead of patterns overlaid on my vision or distortions of existing objects which is what ive had on weed/acid/shrooms before. If i closed my eyes and focused i saw a tiny rectangle containing surrealist cartoon images of dogs with many heads and eyes, people melting into each other, etc like i was watching them on a tv that was really far away. Opening my eyes i saw larger and more complex visuals than i ever get on weed alone, stuff like flowers and jungle leaves made of rainbow colors that were constantly shifting and changing. They also played off real objects & my partner in the room while when im only on weed my visuals are like a screen over my vision and do not interact with real objects. My body felt different, like my limbs were detached from each other and far apart in space. It was pretty fucking freaky bc it was so unexpected, and because it made those idle falling asleep thoughts/daydreams so vivid i could half see them. At one point i was having an imaginary convo with my partner and in the dream they put a pair of headphones on me and i plummeted down into darkness, i couldnt feel which way my body was oriented or the bed under me or my partners hand in mine, and there was this massively loud droning sound in my head along with an intense feeling of pressure. I was terrified and forced myself out of it before realizing i was just falling asleep. Then i tried to stay awake and look at the patterns til it passed but thats about the last thing i remember.
It wss also frightening because when i've tripped on acid/shrooms, my thinking becomes nonlinear so if i start to freak out i can look to that as a cue that its the drugs talking, but this time the way i was thinking felt very normal, just the ideas i had were not. I felt myself lose grip of my rational mind it was crazy. I got scared at one point that there was some dangerous hops-weed interaction id failed to research and needed my partner to reassure me before i remembered i'd tripped harder than this on weed alone. On weed alone i can snap out of it if i try or at least push myself to be a few levels more sober.

Me: Honestly Lin’s version of the musical is more accurate than most in terms of how people sounded back then. It’s due to the dialect. No one had a British accent until the reign of Queen Victoria. Even Bridgeton gets this wrong. Basically, people had baguettes in their mouths.
My friend: George Washington did not sound like he has a baguette in his mouth. Name one person who would do that—.
Me: Lafayette, Hamilton, and Laurens would have.
My friend: ...
My friend: Go back to the woods and stay there. Forever.

Can I req how hawks, bakugou, denki, kiri and dabi would react to seeing their s/o performing an imaginary concert in the shower? Like singing and doing a lil jig?? (And if you want a/o sees them but isn’t embarrassed they just start singing to them instead) And nothing nsfw just wholesome fluff and they’re like “🥺 wow I luv dem” ok sorry this weirdly specific but it’s been in my head for weeks and only your writing could do it justice. And feel free to make changes if it doesn’t fit your requirements ok bYE
a/n: YESSS PLEASE DFHDJG THIS IS THE ONE THIS IS THE HEADCANON- please this is so amazing thank you for this i love you smooches
headcanon: them reacting to their s/o singing in the shower
aged up 18+ au!!
key: (y/n) - your name / (f/n) - first name / (l/n) - last name / (e/c) - eye color / (h/c) - hair color / (y/q) - your quirk

keigo takami/hawks
Tumblr media
»»————- ★ ————-««
Let’s be honest, Hawks is a bit of a perv, but in like a good way? Is there a good way? idk n e way-
He hears the water running and he’s like ‘yes cool bro go talk to them while they shower like you don’t have anything else to be doing’
He loves just talking to you while you’re in the shower. He doesn’t have any dirty intentions unless you instigate but this isn’t that kind of headcanon so let’s proceed with the fluff.
He hears the water running when he steps into your shared home and he’s immediately like tearing off his hero costume until he’s shirtless and in his boxers. The steam is just gonna make him sweat even more, he’ll get dressed after a convo about what’s for dinner.
But then he hears you singing. 
Cute
He can’t help but giggle as he quietly pushes the door open, now making it his goal to see how long he can watch you sing and dance for.
Watching you move and dance around as you massage shampoo into your hair, singing to the music playing over your phone speaker, you were having some sort of concert.
You finally glance over and notice your boyfriend, standing and admiring you in only his underwear.
“My little songbird.” Hawks teases as he walked over toward the shower. You just smile and reach out a hand for him to join you.
Tugging him under the running water you continue to sing and dance, just enjoying yourself.
“Is this what you do while I’m gone all day at work?” Hawks laughed, allowing you to wash his hair.
“Mhm!” You laugh, snapping the waistband of his now soggy underwear against his stomach.
“I love you.” Hawks coos, pressing a kiss to your cheek.
You return to singing, this time directing your words to him, trying not to laugh as Hawks joins in, horribly singing off keep just to spite you.

katsuki bakugou
Tumblr media

He hears you singing from your shared bedroom. He’s just scrolling on his phone when he finally hears you, his ears perking up as your voice sings along to the song playing on your phone.
He’s curious. 
Pushing the bathroom door open, he’s just staring as you dance and sing all while washing your hair. Bakugou can’t help but laugh a little, finding your concert rather amusing.
You hear his snickering and turn to face him. He stops and just stares at you.
You waste no time aiming your lyrics at him as you continue to sing, ushering him into the bathroom.
He’s fully dressed when you yank him into the shower, letting the water soak his clothes.
“You havin’ some sorta concert in here?” Bakugou kisses your forehead.
“Of course! Anyone who doesn’t sing in the shower is a liar.” You nudge him.
“Dumbass.” Bakugou just tugs his soaking wet shirt off, tossing it into the sink so it didn’t create a puddle on the floor.
“Sing with me!” You rub some soap over his chest, still humming along to the lyrics of the song.
“Tch.”
“I know you want to, this song is on your gym playlist.” You smirk, returning back to singing along. Bakugou just sighs and mumbles along to the words, his big hands massaging the conditioner into your hair while your hands washed his chest.
When the song ended, you gave him a hug and looked up at him.
“We should make a song together.” You tease him.
“Yeah right.”
“I love you.” You lean up and kiss his lips.

denki kaminari
Tumblr media

He hears you singing and is like ‘bro tis angel is singing? in the shower? my heart is theirs <3′
He’s not even gonna be subtle, he wants to hear you sing so he’s opening the bathroom door and coming in, sitting on the closed toilet, and just admiring you until you notice.
“Jeez! Kami!” You flinch when you finally notice him, your singing coming to an abrupt stop.
“You didn’t tell me you could sing!” Kaminari has wide eyes as he smiles at you, completely mesmerized at how well you were singing and dancing.
“I- It didn’t seem all that important, but thank you.” You try to hide your embarrassment by turning away, washing the shampoo out of your hair.
“Keep singing!” Kaminari stands and moves so he can see your face.
“Kami!” You cover yourself for a brief second before he pulls off his shirt and strips down, joining you in the shower.
“I’ll sing with you.” He adds, preparing to sing along to the song playing.
He’s off-key as he begins to sing, trying to impress you. You can’t help but laugh and finally ease up, lowering your hands as you bring them up to wash his yellow hair.
“Try to harmonize with me.” You offer a bit of advice as you being to sing again, trying to have him follow along. He just watches you for the first few seconds before he finally gets the hang of it, still a little off-key.
Even while he was singing, he couldn’t help but slowly stop, just admiring you. He really loved you.
He cut you off by pressing his lips to yours, apologizing after saying he got carried away.

eijiro kirishima

Kirishima is like lowkey confused as to why he hears singing at first. He deadass thinks you’ve got a speaker in the bathroom with you. He doesn’t register it’s actually you singing at first.
When he realizes it’s you singing, his heart is racing, he’s blown away. And even more so, he thinks it’s so cute that you’re like performing in the shower.
Like he’s head over heels in love with you already, but this just adds to it. 
“Beautiful.” He mumbles, just gazing at you, not even really registering you were showering.
“Eiji!” You blurt out, throwing your arms over yourself.
“Sorry!” He looks away and shakes his head.
“I heard singing and I didn’t realize it was you but it was and it sounded really beautiful because I’d never heard you sing before!” Kirishima apologizes before slowly turning his head back around.
“Keep singing?” He questions, going to tug his shirt off.
“Fine but you have to wash my back.” You smile, listening to the song to find your place.
Kirishima joins you in the shower, washing your back and listening to you sing. It’s so beautiful, Kirishima begins to think you really are an angel.
“I love you.” Kirishima spins you around to kiss you, pulling you into his arms.
“I love you too.” You rest your arms around his shoulders.

dabi

You singing is the only surefire way to get this man close to a shower-
He’s intrigued by the angelic singing coming from his bathroom, so of course he goes to investigate.
Pushes the door open a tad just to peek inside, and he’s surprised when he sees you dancing and singing, performing a little imaginary concert while you wash your body.
He’s smiling and he doesn’t realize it.
Dabi lives life in the fast lane and personally, I don’t think he really gets to see and understand the simple things that make life fun and sweet.
So seeing the love of his life singing in the shower, just for a few minutes, Dabi can’t help but fall even more and love. 
It’s so normal, he feels like he’s not a wanted criminal and instead he’s just watching his love do something so simple.
When you notice his spying eyes, you usher him into the bathroom, still singing, this time directing the lyrics to you.
Dabi smirks and quickly strips, jumping into the shower with you.
The song fades out and a slower song comes on. 
You place your arms around his waist and essentially hug him, allowing him to do the same. The two of you sway in an embrace while the song plays, the warm water washing over the two of you.
“I love you.” Dabi mumbles. This moment feels so surreal. The words kinda slip out. He does love you, but he rarely says it.
“I love you too.” You reply, looking up, sliding an arm around his neck, pulling him down into a warm kiss.
It’s sweet and loving. Dabi knows that in this moment, there’s nothing else he could’ve ever asked for.
“You should sing more often.” Dabi comments after pulling away.
Congrats, you’ve unlocked Dabi showering normally because he’ll do it to hear you sing.

WandaVision: When you can’t let go of that robo-lovin.
So, I just finished watching "WandaVision", and I must say, right off the bat 
- I LOVED IT!
Tumblr media
Disney Plus is finally paying off. I'm in the group of peeps who got DP, not for the mouse, but for the ones whom the mouse is in bed with, and most recently on Mickey's playtime Marvel List - Wanda Maximoff and her robo-boy toy VISION... or is that “THE Vision”? - that seems kinda ostentatious, but whatever.
When I first heard that Wanda was getting a series, I said "Who cares?" I don't care bout no Wanda! What has she been other than a weird pest?
Let's review:
She tried to kill the Avengers, she accidentally injures and kills innocent people, she was getting in the way, so Tony Stark had to get his CPU (Vision) to babysit her, she falls in love with the CPU - can we talk about how strange this is? I didn't say wrong, just different, cuz honestly, we may be headed there soon. That movie "Her" might be a reality with how tech is going these days.
But, imagine I come to your home and fall in love with your laptop (which messes everything up for you with all your devices and your social media), THEN (as Wanda did with Vision), I run off on some romantic journey with all of your devices. Imagine how Tony would have felt, if he was still with us.
She had one job when it came to Thanos, and it ended up not mattering.
Tumblr media
Then, went full rage on the wrong Thanos.
Tumblr media
Idk if that’s a look (Thanos) pain, release, of he’s listening to his jam. Kinda looks like he’s saying “JESUS”. But, Wanda is pissed.
Wanda: "You took everything from me!"
Thanos: "Lady, I don't even know you!"
I didn't care about Wanda. But, damn, Marvel is so good that in one episode they made me care; one trailer, really.
If you had not seen the trailer for this series, you might be confused by the first episode. 
Tumblr media
You might even ask yourself - "What the bleep is this nonsense?!" We want heroes vs villains. We want super-powered explosions. We want capes, ridiculously tight clothes, bulky armor, and anything else that makes no sense to fight in.
You're giving me "Bewitched"?
Tumblr media
I DID see the trailer, so I knew going in that it would be a slow burn with some nostalgia, some quirks, and some eeriness; right up my alley.
The change in Tv decade styles btw *chef kiss*
Tumblr media
I figured that they'd be trapped in some mysterious, magical world - which they are...
Unless you're super geeky with the funny books, there's no way you'll see what's coming in this mystery.
And it IS a mystery, not only to the audience, but for the characters involved in this show. Don't nobody know what the hell is going on.
But, LaWanda and Vishawn 
Tumblr media
(sorry, I just wanted to use this pic - Ha! Y'all are crazy.)had help figuring things out:
Rambo
Tumblr media
Yeah, it's actually Monica Rambeau, 
Tumblr media
but... admit it, some of you kept thinking about Rambo too, right?? No offense to this actress, but I'd rather see old man Sly play Rambo, and HIM be in this mysterious WandaVision town. Let's get Disney a lil bloody. Wishful thinking, I suppose.
Tumblr media
Marvel WILL BE venturing into multiple universes soon, so perhaps Rambo finds his way to team up with The Punisher? Huh?? YEAH!
But, no... Rambeau (meh No personality, but whatever).
Randall Park - 
Tumblr media
He's that person we all know who has made us laugh so much in life, that they don't even need to say anything anymore; you look at them and laugh. I love this dude!
Kat Dennings - 
Tumblr media
I remember liking her more in the Thor movies.  I found her annoying, this time around.   She joins the mystery to figure tech stuff out, and she's a doctor or something (don't you forget it!). She also asks the team she just meets to get her some coffee, and acts like they're disrespecting HER, by their lack of response. I know she's a doctor and all, but damn! Imagine some electrician comes to your place to serve YOU, they're condescending to you, and then  they ask you for some coffee. Get the hell outta here!
Oh, and there's a dude named “Director Dick”. That's my name for him, but the name fits.
The people in this town are acting out as if they've been scripted for some show. And all of these characters, AND US, get to figure it out together - through antics from different times in Tv culture. 
Times sure were different back in the day:
No social justice issues implanted or cursing or sex or drugs... now, I'm not saying it was a better time, just a different one :) A time when dad jokes ruled! Simple times! Ignorance was bliss. But, it kinda wasn't - not really.
It's like having an animal die on your property somewhere, and it starts to stink. You COULD find the truth of the stench... or light candles everywhere. Some really strong candles - maybe some of those Gwyneth Paltrow candles.
Tumblr media
Though the stench might get covered up, the problem is still there. At some point, your kids could find the dead rotting animal... maybe start playing with it... you get the point.
In this show, the townspeople's minds have been taken over by someone or something, and it's torturous for them. So... bliss on the surface, but... not so much, going deeper. I tell you all of this, plus great production in each epi, a good slow-burn mystery, and fun with comic characters in a way we haven't seen before on screen, and hell yeah - Grade: A series.
Now... spoilers.
You might want to leave now.
Tumblr media
People, Wanda is the villain here. I'm not sure if that's the message the writers are trying to convey or not, but I don't care; she is the clear villain here.
Tumblr media
Here’s Wanda reading some Hell book, conjuring some dark spirits - nbd.
We are rooting for her throughout this show; even after we find out that she has been (even if not maliciously) controlling every one, we still root for her.
I'm not saying that's bad, but we can't forget about what she has done! Remember, I said that the mind control was torturous for the townspeople.
There's a very emotional moment at the end of this series between Wanda and Vision, and between them and their kids (yeah, they have kids... that's a whole other thing). This moment is well done and touching. There's even a bad ass fight between Wanda and the "true... villain"? - of this story. I'll get to her in a sec (There’s a badass Vision fight scene as well).
I loved all of that! But, at the end of the day...
I know Wanda is grieving and all, we all grieve, but we all don't, in our grief, take a whole town hostage, torture the people, all while playing house with our family. That's kinda sick, no??
Are we doing a girl-power thing? or a “witches are people too” thing? or “but she’s doing it all for her family” thing (yeah, they’re not actually real, but whatever)? I don’t know.
I'm not sure that we know what a villain is anymore. It used to be clear - the guy with the beard was the bad guy, or the guy wearing the black outfit was the bad guy, or the people who aren't Americans are the bad guys :)
But, movies like "Joker" and "Deadpool" and Harley's joint have confused some.
Who else would be the villain? There's a character, the villain (i guess), a witch named Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn
Tumblr media
Here she is saying “I’m the villain? Really? What about her?!!”
   - she's excellent btw; def the highlight of this show; her and Paul Bettany's hair game.
Tumblr media
But, let's compare:
Agatha: 
betrays her coven back in the day, sure, but why you bringing up old shit? 
She allows Wanda to play out this fantasy for a while, and even played along. She could have just killed her when she was ignorant; that's what I would have done. She eventually shows Wanda the truth (granted, she then wants Wanda's power, but hey, everything has a price. And for all we know, she would have used all of that power to... cure the worlds diseases or something... though prob not:). Annnd maybe she killed an imaginary puppy. Convo for another time: if you kill something that's not real, does it matter??
That's it!
She didn't (like Wanda): abduct a town, torture its people, bring Vision back from the dead (kinda), endanger soldiers who were just doing their jobs, create weird fantasies (And did she have sexy time with previously dead, fake Vision? This thing gets even weirder if she did. But, let's not go down that path.) Oh, and she magically punted a black woman (Rambo) the length of a football field just for her asking Wanda some questions.
When the townspeople finally regain their minds (Lord knows how long it's been), they look at her with disdain, and I don't blame them.  And what does Wanda do?? - shrug, put on a hoodie, and fly off - to break into somebody's home and read some devil book.
Where’s cancel culture in this universe? 
I know she made us feel, but I ask again, who's the villain here?
Tumblr media
Still Grade A stuff for me (again, I loved this!), but c'mon, people.
We get a glimpse of Captain Marvel 2 as well. My fingers are crossed. I actually liked the first movie. But, many others did not, and one of the reasons - Captain Marvel doesn't have much of a personality, and another - she's too powerful (no risk).
So, to answer the critics, we have Monica Rambeau - another ridiculously super-powered hero, with no personality. So, two unrelatable characters flying around in space, as Sam L Jackson tries not to curse. But, if Marvel can make me care about evil ass Wanda, I'll still hold out hope for Capt Marvel 2.

Seamus Finnigan Imagine; Blow it up.
Helloo! I’ve been a little offline because i’ve been dealing with writers block for a bit but slowly trying to conquer it, so that’s why i haven’t been posting much lately. I’m back today with another HP imagine, it’s not that long but it’s cute :) love you all! hope you enjoy it xx
Pairing: Seamus Finnigan x Reader
Warnings: None I believe
Request: Can you do a Seamus Finnigan imagine where he's got a crush on a Slytherin in his year who's best friends with Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley and good friends with the rest of the Gryffindors so she's commonly defending her friends from her housemates but she never cares what they say about her but Seamus does and it causes him to eventually blows up (pun intended)? Can't wait for your writing to come back!
Tumblr media
Being an Slytherin can be difficult sometimes…not only because of your pureblood stuck-up parents, who only care about what people think of them, but you also had to endure sharing the same common room with idiotic assholes who you could swear had only one braincell left to work with.
That was Y/n’s case.
It was known that those in Slytherin were cunning, ambitious and resourceful, often leaders who proved to be a role model for many. Yet she often would think how someone like Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle made it.
Probably the sorting hat sorted them in Slytherin out of pity, she thought.
“Merlin’s beard! You two don’t have anything better to do? Like I don’t know, brewing your bloody potion!? We are literally in the middle of class! And if Slughorn hasn’t said anything it’s because he’s dead asleep!”she complained as pointed at the Potions professor who was literally asleep and almost snoring in his chair, then she stared at them rolling her eyes as the rest of the people in the classroom muttered things like ‘finally’ ‘yes, someone said it’. They weren’t exactly liked in Slytherin… or Hogwarts in general to be honest; she still tried to figure out how Draco put up with Tweedledee and Tweedledum here everyday.
“What’s got your knickers in a twist, blood-traitor?” Crabbed replied, a smirk playing in his lips as him and Goyle looked at her with their usual mean stare.
“You know, instead of coming up with lame comebacks as usual, you two should really try and at least work once in class. You two don’t want to be held back, right? Don’t go around feeding those rumors if you know what I mean..” she snickered, holding down a laugh as Ginny besides her managed to control hers as well.
Rumor has it that those two got held back, so when we all got here for our first year at Hogwarts, they were already repeating it. She didn’t know if those rumors were true after all, but they kinda looked older than they seemed to be. Their mental age anyways, remained the same or even younger.
“You know, you should really try to control that mouth of yours. Your mud-blood friends won’t always be there to have your back and you know that.” he replied, looking at Ginny and Luna before raising his brows at her, they were really trying to scare her.. too bad they looked to dumb to even spark any kind of imaginary fear.
“I’m not even the slightest bit scared of both of you. I know you two don’t do anything without Draco and we both know Draco won’t be laying hands on me anytime soon..” she muttered, squinting her eyes at them. “So, as his minions you two should know better. Now, shoo!”
“You little bitch—” Goyle tried to come up with better insults before someone stepped in the delightful convo they were having.
“You really should know better than to insult a lady, mate.” the Gryffindor, whose specialty was pyrotechnics said. “And it also seems like she’s the one winning here.. why bother to keep going and embarrass yourself further, huh?” Seamus commented with a chuckle on his lips.
In the back, while everyone was very much busy with paying close attention to the conversation they were having, Dean Thomas softly walked towards Crabbe and Goyle’s desk and dripped a mysterious liquid inside of it before walking back to his place again and throwing a little paper towards the professor who suddenly woke up
“Finnigan, shut up. This isn’t with you.” Goyle sneered at him.
Seamus looked at Dean who just nodded, he then stared back at Goyle and Crabbe. “You know, one day everything will come back at bit you in the arse… or blow you up, who knows..” he commented, shrugging as he then walked back to his shared place with Dean.
“Kids! I hope those potions are going good! Now, last step it’s to add some of red liquid besides the cauldron and you’re all set!” Professor Slughorn said as he waved his hands to the students, signaling them to proceed, ignoring the small argument going on.
Tweedledee and Tweedledum just gave Y/n and Seamus a stink stare before going back to their posts, Y/n looked back at Finnigan with a grateful smile on her lips and flushed cheeks as he just winked at her before bumping arms with Dean and waiting for their small mischief to happen.
So, while everyone was dropping in their liquids, the two Slytherins leaned in to see their potion that was turning a weird color.
The rest of the class stared at their own cauldrons as they emitted a soft mist.
“Okay, kids! I see that all of your potions got the soft mist it’s supposed to emit! Now, that's..—” sadly Slughorn couldn’t finish his sentence about doing a good job cause suddenly all that could be heard in the classroom was a big and loud boom!
A grey cloud of smoke covered pretty much the entire desk belonging to Crabbe and Goyle, the students closest to them were coughing and swiping away the smoke as Y/n looked in curiosity to them, before looking back at Seamus, who was currently high-fiving Dean with a victorious look on their faces.
“That’s not how it’s supposed to turn out..” Slughorn commented while stroking the back of his head. “I would like to see you two in my office, the rest of you can go.” he added, both boys who had their faces covered in grey dust coughed as they walked behind the professor, blaming each other for what had happened.
The rest of the class quickly got their bags and left, Ginny ended up leaving with Luna as Y/n stayed behind. She quickly grabbed her bag and approached Seamus and Dean’s desk, both of the guys were still laughing and grabbing their things.
“That was quite the explosion..” she said with a smile on her lips, looking at the guys who chuckled with her. “I believe a thanks is in place to you two.”
“It was actually Finnigan’s idea.. and I have to leave, I’m late for my Quidditch practice..” Dean quickly explain with a smirk before looking at both of us and leaving.
“I kinda knew you were behind it.. after all you’re the who’s got a way with explosions..” Y/n said as he looked at him.
“Well, what can I say?” he smirked looking back at her. “They had it coming, they’re always a pain in the arse to you.” he commented with a shrug and a lopsided smile on his lips. “I just had to step in for my favorite Slytherin.”
That very last sentence made her flush once again, her cheeks felt warm as she looked down for a moment before lifting her eyes to stare at his face, she softly got closer to him and deposited a sweet and soft kiss in his cheek, dangerously close to his lips. “Thank you, Seamus. I really appreciate that, no one has stood up for me quite like you have.” she confessed with a shy smile.
The boy in front of her was now sporting red cheeks as his hand rested on the place she had just kissed. “U-uh, yeah, absolutely! Whenever you need someone I’m your guy!”
She giggled at his words before giving him one last look and walking outside the classroom as Seamus sat down on the chair for a bit.
“Okay, next goal… ask her out.”  
He said to himself as he chuckled, before walking out of the classroom to meet with Dean and talk to him about what had just happened.

[we could always bring out the big guns because Ian isn't gonna want him to go either but like obvs don't wanna go too hard with that before they go for a million reasons] Janis: [we can deffo do that afterwards, like they've already had a time then Ian is fuming, think that's better] Jimmy: [agreed because we know we're gonna do something to make the fwb awks on top of the flatwhites bs so his mood will be peak sick of Ian's shit] Janis: [gonna move her in so soon get over it sir] Jimmy: [alright in that vein how do you wanna do her trying to leave?] Janis: [like it clearly gets to tea time

Janis: ['am I sous chef or the appetizer?'] Jimmy: [can't speak cos 🤐 but his 👀 are saying so much rn] Janis: [thinking he's being quiet 'cos the kids are like in the lounge or something so kinda like whooops 'dessert, maybe'] Jimmy: [still looking at her like are you gonna stay for that long because don't actually wanna say it in case she's like no] Janis: [shrugs like nbd 'no one's expecting me,

Janis: 'course not Janis: not when you pretend you're still cool to prove you ever were Jimmy: 👎 Janis: what, you wanna go harder to be public enemy #1? Janis: 🙄😏 Jimmy: obviously Janis: you tryna displease my parents is just as weird as you tryna please 'em Janis: just pretend they don't exist, yeah Jimmy: spoilsport Janis: they ain't even in your age-range Janis: behave Jimmy: gutted about that an' all Janis: 🖕 Jimmy: 💕 Janis: gross, you Jimmy: Bill's gonna be well proud of that protest Jimmy: and your cool parents an' all Janis: piss off Janis: [😒 face] Jimmy: [hooray we can do the beloved pouty face lip thing when he of course kisses her rn oh how I've missed it] Janis: [likewise 'cos loves that so much] Jimmy: [I think it's the first time and I'm fine about it] Janis: [in that case, she's so not, forgetting you just got shaded about being extra so hard] Jimmy: [soz not soz Cass] Janis: ['you know-' being quiet enough that hopefully you aren't disturbing everyone rn '-you know how much I want you' is that a question or a statement, we love being vague] Jimmy: [there's no way he's being quiet enough if he doesn't kiss her really hard rn deal with it everyone he doesn't wanna take care of y'all he wants to be 15 and extra] Janis: [let this boy live] Jimmy: [we're living in this kitchen atm though] Janis: [gotta be up against the door like soz no one come in rn] Jimmy: [give them all the moments thank you cos there's no stopping this and we aren't sorry about it] Janis: [y'all will be fine, they won't] Jimmy: [exactly] Janis: ['I need you' 'cos close as you're allowed to get rn ty] Jimmy: [likewise say her name in response cos that's all I'm letting you say] Janis: [all ready for this trip] Jimmy: [gonna be hilarious for us but not for you] Janis: [so, let's do a flatwhite cringe checklist lol, one of them, probably Asia, needs to be schwasted and get WELL lost, like maybe her mans does show halfway through the night and is like where is she and they're like ??? and then it's dramaaaa] Jimmy: [that's a really good idea] Jimmy: [I think Grace should be the one who hooks up with a lad and then they can't get rid of him and his gaggle of mates because that'd annoy Mia so much which she swore to Janis she would do but also something she would do because Ella called her fat and Hollie should sleep with one of the others but not remember which one it is like we said] Janis: [I vibe that, oh Hollie, hmm what else, one of them needs to freak out in the crowd and have to get pulled out, that's v cringe, like it's hardly a moshpit ladies] Jimmy: [I was literally gonna say someone should go to the first aid tent for no real reason because same vibe] Jimmy: [Ella should be the crowd freaker outer because she probably doesn't like to be touched and Mia should go to the first aid tent like nearly as soon as they get there because gotta pull focus and phone her daddy for that attention she's not getting from her squad rn] Janis: [approved, what a holy show, ladies, plus if Mia does that it'd be a way to force them into a truce without them realizing like omg are you okay and all taking care of her she don't need] Jimmy: [yeah exactly what a snek and it gives her an excuse to cry over the fact Harry ain't coming without them knowing that's why like she's not upset she's just so ill okay] Janis: [obviously they'll all get white girl wasted and embarrassing with that] Jimmy: [good lord yes that's a given at least when JJ get drunk they embarrass themselves with how much they secretly love each other, state of that lot honestly] Janis: [seriously, if it's a small festival maybe the lads they hook up with are in one of the bands 'cos that'd be annoying thinking they're like famous and it's like you aren't though and you were probably shite] Jimmy: [yaaaas I love that] Jimmy: [I also vote that the weather is really crap cos JJ won't care but they would cos their hair and their lewks] Janis: ['cos it always is and you have to roll with it but they apparently didn't get the memo lol] Jimmy: [Hollie the only one vaguely appropriately dressed for festival life] Janis: [it's funny 'cos festival fashion is meant to be so effortless and none of them can ever like they'll look so try-hard and their age 'cos younger girls are like that at raves and shit too like you gotta hang] Jimmy: [mhmm so mad cos Janis looks fire whenever aren't you Mia] Janis: [their posh girl lewks, oh lord] Jimmy: [I just imagine Mia's dad being slightly weird about getting updates throughout the weekend cos he's that cringey and near incesty] Janis: [deffo, when you're in a relationship with your dad, like how's golf, how's the lads, eurgh] Jimmy: [honestly though just having that husband and wife style convo nbd] Janis: [that's why you mad he cheating on your ma, don't lie] Jimmy: [the tea, girls that are older than you but still far too young for him and everything you wish you were] Janis: [he's not even fit it's so sad and gross] Jimmy: [no happy ending for you hun] Janis: [so we've got a good idea for them, what do we wanna do with the fwb moment?] Jimmy: [I wanna fuck it up cos I'm evil but I'm not sure how yet] Janis: [hmm, let's think]

“Wait... You’re the Little Voice Inside My Head?”
Tumblr media
Genre: fluff, soulmate! au; you can hear your soulmate’s thoughts, which isn’t always the best thing
Pairing: Lucas X gender neutral reader
Warnings: cussing, you will have a cavity by the end of this it’s too damn sWEEt
A/N: wong yukhei can stay in his mcfreakin lane:)) okay:)) this hurt me to write he truly did make his way up my bias list and I am .? okay,, I guess this is what we are doing
ever since you were little, you always heard voices inside your head
those voices being 1. you, and 2. a little boy you had never heard out loud in your life
the first time you heard him was when you were four, playing with an imaginary friend in your room
I wonder what Mommy is making for dinner, you thought and lo and behold
I want my mommy to make something without vegetables!
uhhhhhhhhh .?
that was not your voice
but you being a four year old with an imaginary friend, you were like “cool I guess, sometimes it be that way” 
at dinner you brought it up to your parents, but of course they passed it off as your imaginary friends
I mean,, lets be real
you were little and ran around the house all day talking to your imaginary friends, so that was the logical explanation in that situation
that was only the first incident you had with the boy speaking in your head
and lemme just say, as y’all got older, it only got wilder
you only knew that he heard what you thought for one reason
he’d always, and I mean ALWAYS
respond
one time in elementary school, your class was taking a math test and you had no fuckin clue what was going on
uhhhhhhh what the frick is 8 times 9 divided by 2 plus 4???
don’t worry tho, your mystery boy came in clutch
40! The answer is 40! his little voice chimed, saving your ass and being the reason you scraped by with a b
as time went on, you heard him more and more, and occasionally yall would have full conversations
only when you got older did you realize
shit dawg, this is my soulmate
once you hit middle school, you finally sat your parents down and basically said
that imaginary friend that would talk in my head when I was little hasn’t gone away and im pretty sure that’s my soulmate quirk
of course your parents were like. oh ? worm ? 
you explained to them the whole thing tho
“ive had legitimate conversations with him before, he hears some of my thoughts and I hear his. I can’t really control what all he hears, though, and neither can he, so it’s very weird to hear things out of context.” 
the entire time your parents sat there, both confused and happy
on one hand, they didn’t fully understand how it all worked, 
and on the other, they were proud because their lil baby was all grown up, talking to their soulmate!! moving towards the second part of their life !!
from that moment, your quirk progressed even more
you started to talk to him more and more, and he heard more and more of your thoughts
it was odd, really, because everybody has thoughts that make them guilty
you know, thoughts that can embarrass you for even thinking them?? 
not because they’re dumb (although let’s be real, everyone has their fair share of dumb thoughts), 
but because you know they’re mean:/
one night you were up thinking that,
thinking: you probably hate me…. all of my thoughts are so mean and harmful, and it brings me shame to know that I can be so vile to people without even meaning to. I’m sorry…. I wouldn’t blame you for hating me. 
for some reason, your mystery boy was awake (bitch go tf to sleep it’s three in the damn morning) and he responded
hey, two things…. 1. you’re such a dumbass, and 2. it’s not your thoughts that matter, but how you react to them afterward. the fact that you think your thoughts can come off as mean show that you care, and that you’re not as shitty of a person that you think you are. 
listen,,, we all know lucas ain’t always that deep but we can pretend for this au ok
you sat there in complete shock and then he went, anyways you adorable idiot, go to sleep, you have finals in the morning. 
from that night on, you talked to him more and more
had a bad day? lucas would know all about it as soon as you got home
lucas did something embarrassing while out in public? you’d hear about it while in public as he tried not to spontaneously combust
you will never believe what I just did…. the barista told me to have a good day and I said “you’re welcome”
of course you laughed,,, that dumbass is supposed to be your soulmate ?? 
how
but you told him chill dude, everyone says shit like that sometimes, it happens to the best of us 
he was with you during your cringey phases (as you were with him during his) 
he was there the first time you had your heart broken
your friends all told you not to date the popular basketball player, but you said yeet I guess and well
lucas consoled you as you cried, not over that boy but over yourself for thinking something like that could work
“I don’t know why I even tried. He isn’t you, and he never will be. Hell, I don’t even know your damn name but I know we fit together more than that guy and I ever could.” 
that night was the first night you learned his name, wong yukhei, or lucas as his friends called him
“My name is Wong Yukhei, but my friends call me Lucas. And I’m sorry some guy treated you like shit. You don’t deserve to be treated like that, you deserve the whole world. I wish I knew who you were, where you were, so I can finally meet you and tell you everything I never told you.”
and that was the first night he learned your name 
“y/n, my name is y/n, and I know we are going to meet soon. I just know it. I can feel it.” 
and you were kind of right ??
it all depends on what your definition of soon is tbh
bc that whole sappy convo took place in your junior year of high school
and y’all met in college !!
it was high key odd and not at all how either of you planned to meet, tho
it was your first week at college, and you were nervous af
parents? gone. responsibilities? crippling. adulting? expected. 
you finished moving in a while ago, and by then had met your not so pleasant roommate 
let’s just say uhhhhhh this roommate had been a complete and utter dickhead
so you threw on some shoes, grabbed your laptop and wallet, and went to the library on campus
after all, it was only the first week, there shouldn't be too many
you walked in and the first thing you saw was someone crying and saying “FUCK SCHOOL” 
naturally you were like, “bitch me too. tf?” 
but decided to not say that to that kid so you quickly skrrted the fuck out there (yote, if you will)
as you dipped real quick, you went through your options in your head
coffee? target? dorms? 
coffee seemed like your best bet, so you hauled your ass to the campus café 
as soon as the door opened, stress melted from your mind
i’ll drink to that, bro
the place was not too busy, it was during the middle of the day so people were either asleep or busy
there wasn't a line so you walked up to the person working at the register 
“shit fuck what should I order from this coffee place??” 
“mountain dew with two shots of espresso” - the ever so helpful Wong Yukhei
“okay what the fuck??” 
“lemme get uhhhhhhh iced coffee I guess,” you said, paying and waiting for your drink
while waiting, you went and grabbed a straw, and out of the corner of your eye you spotted a fuckin. GiAnt enter the establishment
he seemed goofy tho,,, so u were like. ok. cool. pop off, I guess. 
you couldn’t hear him speak, but inside your head you heard, “Iced coffee.” 
“yeah, what about it? I already ordered it, you’re a little late.” 
he did not respond which had you going ?? miss keisha, miss keisha, oh my fucking god she fucking dead !
you patiently waited for your cold bean juice while the guy paid and literally stumbled right by your feet to get a straw for himself
before you could ask if the Clumsy Giant was okay, the barista called out, “ Y/N!” 
you went to pick up the drink, and felt two eyes drilling holes in the back of your head
naturally, you turned around like. ? we got beef? 
but found the actually kinda cute boy staring at you in shock
“What?” you sheepishly asked, not sure if you had something on your face or if something was genuinely wrong, which would explain why that weirdo stared dead at you 
???
“Y/N.... y-your name is Y/N?” he asked, and his voice clicked right away
fuck, dude
you already knew the answer, 
you could recognize that voice anywhere
but you still wanted to ask and make sure you are not dreaming
however, before you could ask, 
the barista called out his name
“Lucas!” 
f u c k, dude
“Wong Yukhei?” 
“Y/N L/N?” 
you two both broke out into a grin upon hearing the other say your name out loud
yall clung to each other, wrapping the other in a huge hug
meanwhile, the barista was standing behind the counter, waiting for lucas to grab his drink like :/ i’ll wait!
“this is touching, and all.... but can you please grab your coffee?” 
“THAT IS MY SOULMATE!” lucas announced, obviously giddy at finding you
and tbh, you were feeling it, too
yall sat down at a little table and for a while, just stared at the person sitting across from the other
then, “I’m glad I met you.” 
“Me, too,” he agreed
and thus the start of a relationship with pretty much no communication issues ever, 
mostly due to the fact that there were no secrets 
not that either of you minded, because lets face it
you two had souls that were reflections from one another, and you can’t hide a secret from yourself so why would you hide a secret from him?

I got the beta yesterday and was too excited to run around so I didn't even notice the new ap system. Beemov is screwing us over! They lied to us about ul being a new game, took away our bfs and now they slap us in the face with this. I don't mind paying for bonus content I want, but paying to just read the story? I'm not even sure I want to play Eldarya after this.
Yes, the new system is pretty awful. It’s like charging per page of a book, per sentence even. The new system drastically affects game play and will be really frustrating to use. In the beta we get a ton of AP so it’s not noticeable, but in reality it will be awful. When you run out of points the story will stop mid-convo.
It’s a spin on the ticket system that a lot of otome games use, I guess, but tickets are usually for chapters so at least you get a chunk of the story. You want more story, buy more tickets, or ticket bundles, or whatever else is on offer. It’s familiar, it’s logical.
I completely understand that financial decisions have to be made. It’s a company. There are salaries to be paid, expenses to cover, a profit to be made, etc, etc. Pretty much every game out there has paid features though. The old favourite is in-game currency, but in some games the illustrations are paid for, some have deluxe clothing pieces, others have additional content, like side-stories or au one-offs or birthday stories or sexy epilogues… I can keep going.
This new system to me is almost insulting. As in, ‘they’re so thirsty they will pay us anything’. Just because you drew washboard abs on all of your male characters like a 2D equivalent of a blow up doll? Please. Paying for good story, paying for digital merch of your fave characters? Definitely. Paying just to read the next line of dialogue? No.
Lately Beemov reminds me of the case studies we’d do in my business strategy classes, where we’d pick apart the stories of failed companies and discuss the fairly obvious what went wrong. They’re making a lot of awkward decisions that I don’t think will benefit them in the end. I could be wrong, of course, UL could be a huge success. But… I have my doubts.
First the decision to cut the original cast. I don’t think there is a single player who is not upset by this decision, with reactions going from a mild ‘well that was dumb, but it’s just a game’ to a meltdown of epic proportions. Part of the upset was caused by the fact that UL was sold as a continuation, not a clean slate. It has been called a betrayal, a sentiment shared by many. Customer trust is a very valuable soft asset that you can use to a lot of benefit. Otome fans who love their characters and will follow them to the end of the imaginary world. It’s a fertile field to work with. (Have you ever met a hardcore sports fan? Do you know how much stuff there is out there for them to buy? This is the same concept!)
Why not keep the main characters? @chinomiko cited time constrains as of the reasons. Alright, I understand, they can only manage five routes at a time. So why not shuffle them? Have a cast of say, ten but use five characters for each chapter. That way they all get a turn even if they’re not included every time. (For example, Castiel could appear in chapter 1, but not 2 and 3 but then again in 4 and 5.) On the side there could be a special paid spin-off for one character who’s not included in this chapter. (This story could be without an illustration, just a short, cute story you get to keep and replay. Like a little date, or something.)
The second decision to animate UL. I feel like a lot of the effort went into the animations and they don’t really add to the game play, in my opinion. (The randomly bouncing boobs are pretty hilarious, but I don’t think they were meant to be.) The eye movements are weird. When the characters look to the side it looks strange, sometimes borderline unpleasant, like their eyes are rolling into their head. The awkward bouncy moments they make when they’re laughing or excited. It’s… a distraction.
And of course the last is the new AP system. Obviously a financially driven decision, but executed poorly. There are better ways to do it. They could have simply switched the AP system to something else, like their own version of a ticket system. (Since you’re changing the game completely anyway.) Old players could have their AP converted at a per-determined exchange rate, new players would start with a clean slate. Or better yet, add more paid content. People will pay real money for pixels, so give them more pixels to pay for.
Just my two cents.

I never actually thought about it, like I just assume they’re there to fill up an empty space in my head and chest. But the more I write my conversation down, the more… It became real to me?
Idk so much going on lately and I couldn’t really cope so instead of talking to myself/having an imaginary conversations with my therapist/Denver, I wrote it down like:
“How do you feel”
“Overwhelmed. Anxious. Scared. (Talks in details why)”
“Okay, let’s break it pieces by pieces shall we?”
“Okay.”
“Which one do you want to discuss first?”
“I don’t know.”
“How about the bigger picture - I see some pattern. The field trip?”
“Okay.”
Something like that. I’ve been doing this for years but now it’s more structured and recently I begin to write it down instead.
Anyway, this isn’t why I decided to post something on tumblr. I want talk about the people in my head.
I wrote it before how Denver was based off of a guy that I wanted to be friends with but in my head he’s a projection of an ideal version of myself. He’s also the person that Dakota (me) lean to the most. I wrote it before, Denver is healthy and Dakota isn’t.
Sydney is another representation of what I want in life, though mostly it’s through a social economic perspective. But her family isn’t as much far off from mine: it’s cold. So even though she physically have everything, deep down, she’s sad and lonely.
The twins? Max and Mac? Another representation of my family (and myself). The twins were separated at a very young age and their parents aren’t together anymore and they were reunited again at the age of 16. Max and Mac don’t talk at all to their parents, and they’re not exactly close to any of their family members too, including their older brother Matt (yeah I have all of their back story in details haha). Max is hiding all of that things under the game that he’s been playing - charming girls and sleeping around with them, never committing to anyone in attempt to mask his vulnerability and trust and abandonment issue. Max is reckless, carefree and impulsive - this lead him into a lot of trouble. Max is a sociopath. Mac is warm and gentle and kind and loyal. Both Mac and Max are brilliant but in terms of behavior, Mac is the opposite of Max. He always tries to go by the rule and he’s a great friend, the second person Dakota would go to after Denver. Mac constantly have to look out after Max and keeping him away from trouble and it’s exhausting. Sometimes he feels like his needs aren’t being meet but instead of addressing it properly, he became very passive aggressive and ended up hurting people. And he’d feel really guilty afterwards. And resort back to being a people pleaser and putting his need after everybody else. This isn’t healthy. While Max would rather drive people away in order to keep himself safe, Mac is trying so hard to keep everyone around him in his little box - without realizing that people aren’t objects, they come and go - he’s doesn’t realize sometimes that he’s suffocating people in his tiny box. And all that crazy attempt to keep everything together? He’s strangling himself. So yeah, Max and Mac are also me - though they are heavily exaggerated, so not exactly like me but yeah.
If you notice - there’s always two people that are the opposite: Denver and Dakota, Max and Mac. Trying to keep things in balance. But it's not balanced at all - they are all equally unhealthy. Sydney is a fantasy, a person to escape all of this. But even so, I still tied my personal life to her: a cold empty room filled with objects.
All of this used to scares me sometimes - like what if they become real? What if lila split into all these people for real? An anchor that doesn’t have a backbone, a depressed and lonely party animal, a sociopath, and a selfish selfless person. One person taking control of my body on a different day. What if I’m already all that? I mean, bits of bits of them are with me anyway.
They were born out of all the inner child wounds that I have but they’re not here anymore, does that mean I’m doing better now?
I don’t know.
But I like to think that I am.
I hope that I am.
I was crying while writing that note (the earlier convo on here) at 9:40 pm, but I feel better now.
Ha.
Goodnight tumblr.

Did I ask or say I missed you? I mean, I guess you can tell I do. I think I have a ton of imaginary convos of what I’d tell you in my head, things I’d say to you, things I’d write out on here, things I want to write but haven’t written. I still have dreams where I sleep text you and wonder if I actually sent you messages that way and I wake up trying to figure out if I did or not.
Is it weird or an irrational fear to think you may like or fall for someone before giving me a chance? I guess there was something you said awhile back that kinda stuck with me and it just makes me wonder 😕 I don’t know why
How are you feeling? Are you okay? Have you recovered? Are you still sick? I hope you are okay. Are you not working at the moment? I wish we could have hung out together. I still wish that. I’d take any regular random hang out at this point. I can’t believe randomly going to boba is the closest I could imagine to being able to see/be with you. I kinda played so many possible scenarios out in my head and none of them were even close to being right. So bad that a part of me thinks that if I keep going there it’s my way of trying to get close to you. But then I’d just get bigger than I already am now. Yeah…haven’t really taken care of myself but I need to. Gotta get back into roller coaster shape 😬
And in case you couldn’t figure it out…I miss you too…

@emilybrooksrpworld  [Closed Starter]
“The Death of a Bachelor”
Giving the man a pat on the back for a job well done, he handed him a wad of $100 dollar bills with a smile and said, “You just remember, champ.  Spread the word.  If I stop comin’ around for at least 3 months, it’s time to start Project Snowball.”
The pimp smiled with his gold-capped tooth gleaming from the reflection of the street light.  “Yeah, my brutha!  You got it!  We got yer back, Angelus.  You just keep those dollar signs comin’ and we got a deal.”
The vampire smirked, tipping his imaginary hat on his head as he spun away on his heal, saying as he walked off, “Always a pleasure.”
With an air of pride, he felt accomplished.  Bored, but accomplished.  Time to find his latest plaything.  He’d been watching this one for the last few nights.  Stalking her from a distance while she went about her routine.  Normally, the Scourge wouldn’t waste his time, but this girl… something about her smelled different.  Special.  He could sense it, much like the way he had back when Darla had originally found his Drusilla.  Unique. A gifted plum just ripe for the plucking.
She had obviously been on something the first time the vampire saw her.  Perhaps it was his fondness for the junkie who freed him from the cage that made him adore these types.  Maybe it was the nostalgia of hunting down and potentially creating another fanged family.  No matter. He was enjoying himself and this girl could be a whole new game for him.
Walking around the back alleys and over to her corner, Angelus lit a smoke, hovering in the shadows as he awaited her arrival.  It was getting close to 2am, her usual time for catching the drunks as they left the bars. This girl was a real pro.  A good blow or hand-job, whatever would get her enough for a score.  But she didn’t take shit, either.  That’s what impressed him the most.  This chick was damaged goods, and damn, if that wasn’t a turn on.  Angelus could definitely press the buttons on this one.
This tall drink of water had potential and that was rare in a place like Santa Monica.  Sure, Los Angeles had its fair share of joy rides, but they were nothing new.  Same song, different dance.  He needed something with more character.  Something jazzy and just all around enticing.
A wrinkle of the brow and a glance to his watch to check the time as he tapped the time piece.  She was late?  That was unusual.  She was usually early.  After all, this is how she got her fix.
Angelus walked over in the direction that she came from every evening, smelling to see if he could catch a whiff of her cigarettes and shampoo.  She used the cheap shit, but it was very recognizable.  Something of a Suave type of hair product mixed with a polyester blend of fabric.  That scent combined with alcohol, tobacco and chemicals was pretty easy to detect.  
He trotted past the graffiti on the metal fence along the harbor, suddenly hearing her voice shouting out.  Angelus took his time, avoiding being seen at first as he watched from behind a storage bin. There was no one there, but she sure seemed to think there was.  “Oh, eat me,” Angelus mumbled to himself.  “Another loony-bin.  Great. Well, it would’ve been nice, kiddo but-,” he cut off as he heard what she shouted…
Wait.  Did she just say Drusilla!?  Nooo.  Is she-… She couldn’t mean his Dru, could she?
Angelus listened more intently as another breaking revelation came forward.  “Holy Crucifixion, she’s talkin’ to Darla.”  He burst out of the shadows at that point, revving up to her in long strides as he hollered, “Excuse me, Blondie!  Don’t mean to interrupt your little convo there, but uh-, “ he paused, strutting closer with every eager step, “Can you tell Darla that she needs to mind her own business?  I got it covered.  Thanks.” He’d closed the gap and instantly punched the blonde with an abnormally hard, right-hook, knocking her unconscious. A smirk played over his lips as he let out a sigh of relief.  “Get ready, babydoll.  Your workin’ a new corner from now on.”  
Tumblr media
Hoisting her lifeless body up and over his shoulder, he leaped with ease 30 feet into the air and onto the roof of the warehouse, quickly taking her across town and back to his underground lair.  Within an hour, he’d locked her wrists up in shackles and chains, bound to the cement wall as her body laid on the mattress.  Normally, he wouldn’t bother with such a luxury, but this was his new pet!  He couldn’t let her be completely uncomfortable. Besides, the cement floor was freezing. After all, they had ages of torture to get through.  Couldn’t have her pass out from hypothermia, now could he?  
The room was his own cell that Angel had devised years ago to hold him in case Angelus resurfaced.  Reinforced, steel bars that went from the ceiling to the floor with an extra strong, four-pronged steel lock that only opened with one key.  Angelus now kept that key close-by at all times, but not where anyone could get to it. He thought it was fitting to use soul-boy’s own device against him as a torture chamber, since it was created to save people from himself.  A bit of an ironic symbiosis, if you will.
As the woman began to stir, Angelus grinned from ear-to-ear, sitting up on a metal table on the other side of the bars.  Hands folded over his knees, the amused vamp rested his black boots against a chair as he said, “Rise and shine, Emily!” He made sure to use her name, knowing she’d never told it to him.  The creep factor just made it all the more pleasurable.
“Welcome to your new home.  Oh, and don’t bother tryin’ to hang yourself - or stab yourself - or anything like that, pretty please?  I know it might seem like it’s the end of the world, but I promise you… whatever pain you feel in the near future?...It’ll only get worse.  And just when you think it can’t?   I’ll bet you a dozen needles it does.  Oh, by golly Joe Whillacker, I sure am gonna enjoy this, muffin!  We’re gonna have SO much fun.  You are one special, little thing, aren’t you?  How long has that been goin’ on now, by the way?  The whole um… talking to dead people thing. Months?  Years?  Lemme guess-,” he broke into Lady Gaga, singing, “Baby, you were born this wayyy!” With a chuckle, Angelus hopped up to his feet and wrapped his hands around the cold bars, smiling down at her with a sigh of happiness.  
Tumblr media
“Ahhh, you know…  I’ve gotta thank you.  I really do.  It’s been a millennium since I found someone worthy of eternal torment.  Really!  Hell, more than that.  I believe it was the mid 1800’s when I turned Drusy.  But she’s off doing her own thing these days.  She lost her verve.  Her SPARK!” He slammed the bars with both hands as he shouted that, just to get a jump out of her.  “But I guess you already knew that, huh?  Darla told you about our dear, delusional daughter, didn’t she?  How is the old ball and chain, anyway?”

I Only Have Pies for You
Tumblr media
Author: witchy Prompts: horror; can’t wait to leave; give it another try Group: B
“When was the last time you pissed yourself?” David looked at Ariel over the thin slip of paper in his hands. “Really?”
“Answer the question,” Jefferson sang, eyes on his recording smartphone. “Or you’ll get a pie in the face.”
David rubbed the back of his neck self-consciously. “Man…college, I think. I was drunk.”
“Acceptable.” Ariel said. She shook the fish bowl, filled with dozens of identical papers, folded into squares. “Draw another.”
“I already drew one.”
“The rules are draw three, unless you get pied. You get another try,” she said, shaking the bowl for emphasis.
He rolled his eyes, glaring at Jefferson’s phone. “Do you have to record everything?”
“It’s for posterity.”
“And Ruby was so upset that she couldn’t make it tonight,” Ariel added. “We can’t let her miss out on any of the fun.”
David shook his head, reaching into the bowl, then unfurling another paper.
“Have you ever cheated?” David read. He opened his mouth, taken aback, then promptly closed it. “Oh, uh, nah.”
“You hesitated!” Ariel shrieked. “Has Mr. Goody Two Shoes gone and strayed?”
Mary Margaret, on her third glass of wine, giggled as she came up behind her fiance, wrapping an arm around his waist. “He was married when we started dating.”
“That was a lie,” Jefferson said gleefully. “Ariel, if you’ll do the honors.”
“Best close your eyes.” She exchanged the fish bowl for a pie tin, filled to the brim with whipped cream, promptly aiming for David’s face. She was sure to smear it around, not wasting any of the dessert. When she pulled back, David’s face was a mask of cream, some dripping down onto the front of his shirt.
Mary Margaret’s giggles increased, turning to delighted squeals as David tried to pull her in for an open-mouthed kiss.
Jefferson filmed it with a smile. “Who’s next?” he asked.
“How about you, Mr. Gold?” Ariel asked, having reclaimed the fish bowl. “Want to try your hand at Truth or Pie?”
Gold pursed his lips. He had known it was a mistake to let Jefferson plan a Valentine’s Day party. If it were up to him, the office would have skipped this holiday (and every other one) completely, but then he wouldn’t have heard the end of it.
That didn’t mean he had to participate.
“I know you’re new here, Arial, but that is the look of impending unemployment.”
Their eyes turned to Belle, holding a cup of punch from the refreshment table. She held it out to Gold. “Here.”
He made no move to take it. “You’re not my secretary outside working hours, Miss French.”
“You look like you can’t wait to leave,” she said rolling her eyes fondly. “I thought maybe if you if you had something to drink you’d have a reason to stay.”
Gold scoffed, moving out of Jefferson’s camera sight after taking the cup. It would have been rude not to, after she went through the trouble.
“Belle, how about you go next?” Jefferson said, nudging Arial.
Belle eyed the pair, Jefferson holding a newly loaded pie tin and his cell phone, Arial eagerly holding out the bowl.
“You have nothing to fear,” he said with his charming smile. “Provided you tell the truth.”
Belle smirked, playing along. “Sure, Jeff, cause you’re absolutely to be trusted with that.”
He winked as she pulled out a slip. Uncurling it, she read, “What was the last text you sent?” She frowned. “Oh, I can’t remember. I haven’t been on my phone all day.”
“You have fifteen seconds to check,” he said in his sing-song voice, holding the pie up suggestively.
“Oh, you—” Belle scrambled to pull her phone from her pocket, glad that her skirt today had one. She flicked open her messenger app. “Last sent was to Ruby.”
“Great. You have to read it aloud.”
She opened the conversation with a long-suffering sigh. “I really wish Gold would just—” with a look of horror, Belle slapped a hand over her mouth. “I can’t read that!”
“Well,” Arial said, stepping back. “I guess that means….”
“Pie to the face!” Jefferson barely gave her enough time to close her eyes before her nose was touching the bottom of a pie tin, the foil warmed by his hand. She coughed as he pulled it back, and suppressed a shudder as she felt a large dollop slide down her cheek.
“You just ruined my makeup. I hope you’re happy,” Belle said miserably, taking the paper towels that Leroy was offering her.
When she had managed to wipe the worst of the mess from her face, she looked around for Mr. Gold, hoping that he hadn’t been paying their silly game any attention. Being pied in front of him was embarrassing enough, let alone having to think of a good cover for what her text to Ruby had said. A quick scan of the room though, showed that Mr. Gold had gone.
Relief battled with disappointment at his disappearance. Maybe that meant he hadn’t heard any of it at all.
I really wish Gold would just…lighten up.
The sounds of the happy party were silenced as Gold shut the door to his office. He limped to his curio cabinet, not looking at which decanter he pulled out.
I really wish Gold would just…jump from his office window.
He poured himself two fingers, swallowed it with a flick of his wrist. He hardly winced at the burn. He poured more, then moved to sit at his desk, taking the whiskey with him.
I really wish Gold would just disappear.
A thousand possibilities to the ending of Belle’s text swam in his head. He knew he was aloof. He knew he kept his employees at arms length. He knew he was harsh and sharp-edged, his criticism sometimes even unwarranted.
As a rule, Gold didn’t care what people thought of him. He hadn’t realized until Belle read her message that he cared very much what she thought.
Belle, with her sunny smiles and bright skirts, who laughed at all his inappropriate jokes and was far more competent and interesting than any other secretary he had ever had.
I really wish Gold would just stop staring at me like a pervert.
At least she had had the decency to not blurt whatever she thought of him for the world to hear, even if they’d more than likely agree.
What a stupid game. He never should have given Jefferson the okay.
I really wish Gold would just—
There was a loud knock at his door. He elected to ignore it, taking another drink instead. He wasn’t sure how long he had sat there brooding, but it wasn’t long enough.
The handle turned, and the intruder walked in.
“If you really wanted privacy,” Jefferson said, undaunted by Gold’s glare, “you should have just locked the door.”
“What do you want?”
Jefferson closed the door behind him, then leaned against the polished wood. “Just because Ruby had to be at a wedding tonight doesn’t mean she was away from her phone. She was delighted to hear about David and his first marriage, by the way.”
He pulled out his phone, and started twiddling with the screen, as if to illustrate his point. Not that Gold particularly cared at the moment.
“Get out.”
“And she was only too happy to forward me Belle’s text message.” Jefferson looked up at him, smirking, a mischievous look gleaming in his eye.
Gold heard more then felt his own smartphone buzz in his desk drawer.
“Ruby’s been such a dear and screenshotted a lot of their convos. That’s actually pretty tame,” Jefferson said, nodding at his desk. “I can send you the rest, if you want.”
“That is an incredible invasion of her privacy,” he snarled, forcing his hands to stay where they were.
Jefferson shrugged. “So write us up to HR. Just thought you’d rather know for sure what your lovely secretary was keeping from you.” He tipped an imaginary hat, then slipped out the door to rejoin the party.
Gold stared at his desk, hesitating only a moment more before rifling for the bloody phone, his curiosity and masochistic nature getting the best of him.
What he read when he opened the message made him nearly swallow his tongue:
I really wish Gold would just bend me over my desk and fuck me till neither of us could walk straight.
He stared at the small screen for what felt like hours. Gold could so easily rejoin the party, try to talk with Belle like a normal person would. Apparently, she would welcome his attention, maybe even accept an invite to dinner. All he had to do was stand up and pretend that he had never read her message to Ruby. Or maybe he should come clean about it, right away. He wondered how she would react to that.
He took a last gulp of his whiskey, finishing what was left in his glass.
He needed another drink.
