wake up new writeblr intro just dropped
been nine months since my last one so we are updating :)
my name is ro, I'm 22 years old, from the US. I recently graduated from college with a double major in English Literature and Theatre. I work full time as a board certified optician.
I primarily write historical fiction and fantasy, though I've dabbled in sci-fi on occasion. I like writing novels, short stories, stage plays, and poetry.
(Also fanfiction, but I have internalized shame etc etc).
I'm currently working on a smorgasbord of projects, but here's intros for some of them!
please please please let me know if you are interested in being added to the tag lists for any of them.
THE LAST LORINEAN; epic fantasy, draft ??. A young woman finds out she is host to a powerful being that the immortal emperor really wants dead. She learns magic, secrets, makes some friends, etc etc. This the OG baby of my writing career, and oh boy is she epic. Haven't touched her since nanowrimo because it's very easy to burn out on her. There's twins, casual queerness, lots of world building, and most especially there is the love I have for this story.
THE DAUGHTER OF DENMARK; historical fantasy, draft two. Hamlet is a woman, Christianity has only just left Denmark, and the politics are even more complicated than before. Does it count as draft two when I never finished the first one? This novel is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet with a few key points changed. While I would describe this as historical fantasy, it definitely leans more fantasy than historical...
EAT HER HEART OUT; drama, draft one. An adaptation of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter that doesn't forget about Demeter. Adding to my compendium of Greek adaptations, this is split between Persephone's time in the Underworld, Demeter's time with the mortals in Eleusis, and the Muses narrating the ordeal à la true crime podcasters.
ATLANTIS; epic sci-fantasy, draft one. A post-apocalyptic Earth and the island kingdom of Atlantis are reconnected via portal after thousands of years apart. This story isn't about the reconnection, though—it's about the politics of humans and atlanteans, a civil war between nobles, and the return of gods whose worship is forbidden. It's either draft one or draft ten, depending on if you count the ten million first chapters I've written. I am technically co-writing this with an old friend! We've been roleplaying buddies for almost a decade, and have been building this world and this story for almost as long. I'm turning our back and forth into novels!

Get to Know Me - Sims Edition
I was tagged by @papermint-airplane and @petrolstationflowers! Thank youuuu 🧡
What’s your favorite Sims death?
I generally don't allow my sims to die of anything but old age, but I would like to try out all the different deaths and ghosts at some point. The haunting curse ghost looks especially cool.
Alpha CC or MaxisMatch?
A mix of both? I tend to use Maxis-type clothes and furniture with textured patterns. I like most of my stuff to be fairly gameplay-friendly as well and it bothers me when there's clipping with sims animations so I don't use too many alpha clothes.
Do you cheat your sims weight?
Not generally, but I find that most EA sims are just very skinny? I had the pregnancy weight-gain mod installed, but the results were so extreme that I removed it and cheated the weight myself.
Do you move objects?
I mainly use it for storytelling, but is it even possible to play this game without using move objects sometimes?
Favorite Mod?
What an impossible question! If I had to choose one mod I can't live without, it'd be NRaas MasterController, but in terms of gameplay mods, I'm really enjoying adding new recipes and harvestables to my game these days. That's a lot of different mods together, so maybe I'm cheating a bit with that answer, haha.
First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?
The first sims game I was ever able to successfully install was Sims 2 and I think it was a "Deluxe" package that came with Nightlife? I don't remember what my first pack was for Sims 3. Maybe Late Night as well?
Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing
It's an adjective, isn't it? Like 'alive.' Listen, I get that it's probably supposed to be the other one, since they have some weird theme of using verbs as adjectives. But 'live' is already an adjective, so no-one is going to say it that way.
Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
How can I choose just one?? I do obviously love Rose a lot. She's adorable.
Have you made a simself?
Oh yes. Honestly I'm shocked so many of you don't. I automatically insert myself into every fantasy hahaha I am very self-absorbed.
Which is your favorite EA hair color?
I don't even really remember which ones there are as defaults in Sims 3? I don't particularly love any of them.
Favorite EA hair?
Hmmm I enjoy the long male hair from Supernatural, especially on beardy men. And I also really like the 'modern braids' female hair from the store.
Favorite life stage?
Like most people, it's YA, sorry.
Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
Definitely gameplay. I am trying to be a bit better at building, but it's such a slog.
Are you a CC creator?
I have dabbled, so I suppose, technically yes.
Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?
I don't know about a 'squad' but I'm pretty sure I have friends. I don't discord or anything, so if we're commenting on each other's posts, then I consider us friends? Hopefully that's okay lol
Do you have any sims merch?
No, is that like a thing?
Do you have a YouTube for sims?
No, I have no interest in trying to play the game in a way that's entertaining for other people. I do that the rest of the day; sims time is just for me.
How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?
I've put a lot more effort into aesthetics recently. Setting things up takes more time but I get a lot more enjoyment out of the game once it's done.
What’s your origin id?
I guess I probably have made one at some point but I have no idea what it is and I don't think I've ever used it. It's also just as likely that I actually don't have one.
Who’s your favorite CC creator?
So many impossible questions 😭 There's no way I can choose only one, but these days I'm always eagerly anticipating posts from @nightospheresims, @sim-songs, and @nectar-cellar.
How long have you had simblr?
It's complicated, haha! I had a simblr way back in... 2011-2012-ish? It was a messy time on simblr and in my life so I was never really able to develop a healthy relationship with it and I eventually deleted my blog after being inactive for a long time. Then after continuing my legacy story just for myself at a snail's pace for about a decade, I decided it was time to share with y'all again, and I opened this blog in October 2021.
How do you edit your pictures?
Reshade is first, and if a shot is taken outdoors and it's for a gameplay post, then sometimes that's it. If it's a bit darker than I'd like, I might apply all or part of this action using Photopea. Sometimes even more than once if it's really dark.
If it's a storytelling shot, I'll then also do manual debanding by selecting an area, copying it to a new layer, applying a gaussian blur, and then erasing around the edges to clean it up. It's tedious but also relaxing? And very satisfying in the end.
What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite?
Sims 3 has so many bangers but I love Ambitions a lot even though it's a glitchy mess sometimes. It's just so much fun.
I am never totally sure who's done this but I'll tag @pudding-parade, @echoweaver, @oasislandingresident and @frostedshore. No pressure of course! 🧡

My Hero Academia: 101 how to start
For people who want to try to get into MHA but don't know where to start! I will talk here about the manga and how the anime adapts it, but also an order to read all the spin offs and watch all the extra content.
Just now that the main canon story is just the manga, so if you want to start and try... I recommend simply reading the manga (or watching the anime) and avoiding for now any extra content.
I also added links for translated drama cds, extra chapters and the Ultra Stage adaptation (the musical).
Tumblr media
THE MANGA (vs anime)
The anime is a pretty loyal adaptation of the manga, almost scene for scene in most cases, with no plot-decisive changes, and mainly little scenes added. S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 also all have a one added anime-only exclusive episode with some small storyline.
The manga is currently at volume 36, and every 10 chapters (more or less) we have a new volume announcement. If you are reading in English, the manga is published by Viz and the publication is about 3 or 4 volumes behind the Japanese release.
If you keep up with each new chapter you will be able to read them for free here as soon as they come out, each Sunday. Each Sunday it is a new chapter, which on twitter is usually tagged as #MHA+chapter number, but leaks are out usually on Wednesday or Thursday, so be careful of the spoilers. On twitter you can follow DabisPoleDance, RukasuMHA and Justixplode if you are interested in reading the leaks for the weekly chapters.
Tumblr media
ANIME, OVAs, MOVIES
As said before, the anime is a pretty accurate adaptation. The first season covers about 3 volumes. The second season up till volume 8, the third season up till volume 14, the fourth season up till volume 20, the fifth season up till volume 26. The fifth season also covered the arc known as My Villain Academia and focused on the villains, but ended up reducing it in size so many people will reccomend you to read the manga too.
For the watching order of anime, OVAs and Movies, this should be accurate:
Season 1 OVA 1: Save! Rescue Training Season 2 OVA 2: Training of the Dead OVA for movie 3: All Might Rising Movie: Two Heroes Season 3 up till episode 15 OVA 3: Make It! Do-or-Die Survival Training Season 3 up till the end Season 4 Season 5 Movie 2: Heroes Rising (at any point in the middle of season 5 or after season 5 even, as its placement is a bit confusing) OVA for movie 3: Departure Movie 3: World Hero Mission (can be watched after the teaser at s05E16 or after season 5) OVA 4: Hero League Baseball OVA 5: Laugh! As if you are in Hell! Season 6
The OVAs are not necessary for the plot as they are extra anime-only stories. The movies are technically canon, given that some of the characters appear in the anime and in the spin off manga.
You can find the list of OVAs here.
Tumblr media
DRAMA CDs
Each anime dvd boxset (Japanese version) comes with some small audio tracks of extra stories that can be enjoyed alongside the episodes. For example, when the class goes to the forest camp in season 3, the dvd set has an extra track (in the drama cds) about Ochako and Tsuyu being enthusiastic.
These drama cds are only in Japanese, but thanks to fan translators some of them can be found in English, or have summaries. I made a list here.
This is not technically canon content, just anime-only added content, a part for the first drama cd which was a manga special.
Tumblr media
OTHER ADAPTATIONS: THE ULTRA STAGE
The MHA manga has also been adapted into a stage play/musical. There are currently 3 stage plays following the story of the anime and manga pretty closely up till the middle of season 3. You can find the titles, actors, how to buy them and more information here.
Tumblr media
MANGA SPIN OFFS
There are currently three manga spin offs, two of them are complete, one is still ongoing. All mangas are licensed by Viz in English, so the information I give is based on that, but if you speak another language you might have earlier release dates. I will write the list in chronological (from older) order:
a) Smash!! - this manga is a parodic retelling of MHA. Nothing in it is canon as it is simply a serious of one page/half a page sketches that retell the story of MHA up till season 3, more or less, changing a lot of the plot just for the sake of comedy. It has 5 short volumes.
b) Vigilantes - this is a prequel of MHA, it has 15 volumes and it was recently concluded. It tells the story of a new character called Koichi. It also has some chapters about Aizawa's time in high school, Present Mic, and some Midnight. One chapter is also about Mirko.
c) Team up mission - this is a series of volumes (volume 4 recently came out in Japan, volume 3 is coming out soon in English) about class 1a, with some appearances from class 1b, other students, some pro heroes and even some movies characters. The stories are all set in season 5, and each chapter is a self-contained extra adventure. For example: one chapter in volume 1 was Ochako, Deku and Bakugou working together at a work-study. Another chapter in volume 2 was about Monoma and class 1a etc. The series is still ongoing.
d) Movies special manga: Each movie is usually accompanied by a short manga that introduces some characters or elements. These are not fundamental.
Movie 1 has "Volume Origin" which contains a prologue for the movie, a small story about All Might and some character extra files. Movie 2 has "Volume Rising" which contains extra files and a story that introduces the villains of the movie. With Movie 2 there was also a new special two chapters called "Deku and Bakugou rising" (part 1 and 2) which came out, but luckily they were added to the Team Up Mission mangas so can be found in those volumes. Movie 3 has "Volume World Heroes" which contains some extra stuff and a chapter that introduces Deku, Bakugou and Todoroki leaving for the mission. This chapter is called "Hawks: Soothe" and was actually adapted into the OVA for movie 3 called "Departure" (word for word adaptation, basically). There was also a special one chapter that came out for the movie, called "Endeavor's Mission", which introduces the trio accepting the mission.
These volumes are particularly hard to find in English as they are usually specials given to people who buy movie tickets in Japan, but if you want to read them it is more convenient to search for the title of the chapters with plot, so "All Might Rising" (movie 1), (movie 2) "League of Villains: Undercover", "Deku and Bakugou rising" and (movie 3) "Endeavor's Mission" and "Hawks: Soothe".
Tumblr media
NOVELS
MHA has a series of novels called School briefs. Each novel also usually has about 4 or 5 illustrations. Each chapter expands on a certain manga scene or add some additional adventures.
Each novels add extra scenes to the manga arcs that they cover. You can find the list here, but just as a way to choose when to read them:
School briefs 1: can be read just after the Sport Festival and Stain (as it has spoilers for them), so just after volume 6.
School briefs 2: it is set in volume 8, so before volume 9 events.
School briefs 3: is set between volume 13 and 14 (it has spoilers for the first chapter of volume 14)
School briefs 4: it covers some events of volume 18 to 20, so it can be safely read after volume 20
School briefs 5: It has some elements of manga volume 26, so it can be read at that volume.
School briefs 6 is not out yet, but knowing the plot is is also set up till volume 26, so nothing of the events of volume 27 and onwards will be in it.
The movies also have novels as adaptation (written after the movie). Movie one has Two heroes. My Hero Academia the movie novel but I could only found it translated it in Italian. It is identical to the movie Two Heroes and only adds a final epilogue (I translated it here among other parts of the novel). The second movie has a novel adaptation called Heroes: Rising. My Hero Academia the Movie. I will receive it soon and add translations of any extra from the movie.
Tumblr media
EXTRAS
BNHA also has two extra information volumes that presents characters, extra data, small interactions between them and also a small short story in the first volume (an omake called "The Depth", which is set after volume 8 of the manga):
My Hero Academia: Ultra Archive: The Official Character Guide My Hero Academia: Ultra Analysis: The Official Character Guide
MHA also has some videogames, mainly the pc games One's Justice and One's Justice 2 which are fighting games with a little bit of story covering up till volume 11 more or less.
There are also currently two android phone games that do not really have a story but are mainly battle/collecting characters. One is MHA: The strongest hero and the more popular one is called My Hero Ultra Impact. The second one is more popular because it adds small events where the characters interact (ex. they go to a festival).
There is also a battle royale game called My Hero Ultra Rumble. None of these videogames add any canon material.
MANGA AND EXTRA CHAPTERS AND STUFF... READING ORDER??
If we want to pull everything together, from manga to movies to anime and extra small chapters - this is the chronological order. By chronological I mean the order of the story.
"All Might Rising" short story manga from movie 1 or the adapted OVA for movie 1: All Might Rising
Vigilantes spin off manga (as it is a prequel)
Short story for movie 2 "Deku and Bakugou rising"
Volume 1 to 3 (and/or corresponding anime season episodes)
OVA 1: Save! Rescue Training
Up till volume 8 (or corresponding anime episodes)
School Briefs 1
OVA 2: Training of the Dead
Movie: Two Heroes
School Briefs 2
Up till volume 11 (or corresponding anime episodes)
OVA 3: Make It! Do-or-Die Survival Training
Up till volume 13 (or corresponding anime episodes)
School Briefs 3
Volume 14
Up till volume 25
Short story for movie 2 "League of Villains: Undercover"
Movie 2: Heroes Rising
Volume 26
School Briefs 5
School Briefs 6
Short story for movie 2 "Endeavor's mission"
OVA for movie 3: Departure or short story for movie 3 "Hawks: Soothe"
Movie 3: World Hero Mission
OVA 4: Hero League Baseball
OVA 5: Laugh! As if you are in Hell!
Team up Mission volumes 1-4
Everything after volume 26
The part in italics is a bit confusing as many of those events seem to happen in the middle of volume 26, basically, as that arc covers a long internship.

You Make Loving Fun: Part I
A collection of little Chrissy and Eddie moments that might turn a little smutty
Part I: Pomp and Circumstance. Eddie finally graduates and Chrissy is really proud
Yeah I know, my self control still hasn't returned. We'll be fine!
This will probably have several parts, but my plan is to have them basically unrelated or at the very least make it so that they can be read as a stand alone.
This is my 50th work posted to Ao3. That seems like a pretty awesome milestone. Whether you're from the Eddissy fandom or the Captain Swan one, thank you for stopping by and thank you for supporting my writing ❤️
Rated E- It’s smut my friends
~1900 words
Read on Ao3
Get added to my eddissy tag list 
~~~~
  He never liked the whole Pomp and Circumstance thing, mostly because he never really got it. Sure, graduating is a big deal, especially for someone who stayed back not once, but twice, but is the whole excessive grandeur thing really necessary? He’s never thought so. 
 That is, until it was almost graduation day, and Chrissy fucking Cunningham started playing the song, all excited for him to walk across the stage. All four movements, baby, she had said. And ever since then, it’s been stuck in his head. 
 He didn’t even know what a movement was until he met Chrissy Cunningham. Scratch that– until he started to get to know Chrissy Cunningham. More specificallly, until he started to fuck Chrissy Cunningham. 
 And of course, they were never just fucking. They’ve always been making love to one another, the passion between them almost nauseating each time they come together, each time they so much as see one another. Honestly, it’s miraculous no one’s figured it out by now, although that’s probably more related to the fact that not a single person in this god forsaken town could imagine a girl like Chrissy Cunningham sleeping with a guy like Eddie Munson. 
 Never mind actually, maybe, in a way, falling for him.
 Either way, though, here they are. 
 Chrissy, with shimmery green pigment on her eyelids, and Eddie, finally knowing what the hell a movement is. 
Her lesson did help, of course. She was so excited to find out that he was actually, officially graduating, that she found her mother’s cassette of the damn song and brought it over, playing it on a loop as she rode him until she screamed in time with the fourth movement. Now, the fourth movement happens to be his favorite. 
 Plus, she helped him get here, anyway. She told him, If you don’t blow Ms. O’Donnell’s final, I'll blow you. 
 She was high at the time, which was why she was being so goofy, but she did end up keeping her promise when he squeaked by with a C+. 
 Her name is called first, C coming before M, which he knows because he’s technically a high school graduate at this point. When she walks across the stage and accepts the diploma from Mr. Higgins, he screams so loudly that he can see her round cheeks blushing from his seat, her eyes rolling and her smile beaming while everyone else in his row gives him a look of horror and confusion. 
 And when he walks across stage, he can hear the shouts from his uncle Wayne, the whistles from the Hellfire Club, and the soft, familiar tune of Pomp and Circumstance playing from her Walkman, volume turned all the way up and still barely audible over the chorus of cheers and boos, her face lit up like a Christmas tree. She was so proud of him that he knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that this was all worth it. 
 It’s worth it again as he finds himself in the back of his van, Chrissy Cunningham fumbling with the buttons of his stupid shirt beneath the stupid robe, her breathing quick and panting and desperate as she presses her hips against his fingers. “Fuck,” she says. “I’m so proud of you.” 
 “Chrissy,” he scolds playfully. “You’re not one to curse. What’s gotten into you?” 
 “Hopefully you, if you wouldn’t mind hurrying up.” 
 “Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind, of course, but I’d want to ensure that that’s exactly what my sweet, innocent girlfriend truly wants.” 
 “Is sweet and innocent really what you want?” she asks, moving her hand from his last few buttons down to his crotch over the stupid dress pants she begged him to wear. They’ll look so nice, Eddie, she pleaded, and he couldn’t possibly say no to those big doe eyes. “Or would you prefer your desperate, needy, very proud girlfriend?” 
 He lets out a groan as she slides down the zipper of his slacks, her soft hand finding its way into his boxer briefs, the ones she got for him because she told him it would be best if whatever he was wearing under his slacks wasn’t baggy. Of course, the sensation of the tighter fabric is entirely new against the part of him that needs her the most, and she seems to know it, grasping onto him just right and smirking against his neck. 
 “Well?” she asks, and he realizes he never did answer her. 
 “Whatever,” he says breathlessly, wishing he had said something a bit more romantic than that. “Whatever you want to give me, Chrissy Cunningham, I'll gladly accept.” 
 “That’s very nice of you,” she praises, and for a second, he thinks to himself, when did he become the one with the praise kink? But it doesn’t matter. 
 He groans again when his fingers find their destination beneath her gown and dress, the material hiding the heat and need all too well. “Fuck, baby,” he murmurs as he dampens his fingers and glides them over her clit, earning a needy moan from her. “Have you been this wet for me the whole ceremony?” 
 “Yeah,” she whispers between pants. “Right when they started the song, I got all hot and bothered.” 
 “Me too, sweetheart,” he laughs, latching his lips to the sensitive skin behind her ear, the spot that always makes her moan out his name and tighten her grip in his hair. It makes him never, ever want to cut it. “Although, I'm always hot and bothered for you, baby.” 
 “Prove it,” she challenges, and he surprises himself when he growls, gripping her thighs and pulling her down beneath him, her back against the floor of the van that she’s cleaned up and decorated. He leans his elbows against the floor, just above her shoulders, and for a brief moment, he just gazes at her. 
 He stares into her eyes, utterly in awe of the fact that she’s here with him. She’s here, and she has been for months now. And, as far as he can tell, it doesn’t seem like she’s going anywhere. 
 She moans when she grips his cock again and lines it up with herself, the heat of her making him shiver as he tries to hold back from plunging into her all at once. His forehead drops against hers, the tip of his nose brushing along the bridge of hers, and she presses up to capture his lips in hers. “I’m so proud of you,” she whispers again, and his heart starts racing even faster. 
 “Thank you,” he whispers back. “Seriously, I probably would've been fucked without you.” 
 “No,” she laughs, but he cuts her off with another kiss. 
 “Probably,” he says again. “Just take the compliment, will you, Cunningham?” 
 She can’t answer, humming against his mouth instead as he inches his way inside her until she has to break away from him to catch her breath. “You okay, angel?” he asks her softly, and she nods, her brows set tensely as she bites her bottom lip. She used to bite it when she was stressed, but he hasn’t seen her do that so much lately. 
 “So good,” she whispers when he pulls out and slides back in again, and then again. “Fuck, Eddie, that’s so good.” 
 “I love when you say that,” he breathes against her ear lobe. “I love when you’re so fucking hot that you can’t filter yourself. I love when you let yourself go, baby.” 
 “It’s you,” she breathes, unable to expand, but he knows exactly what she means. She never swore before, always jumping and shivering and staring at him with wide eyes when he cursed, until he undid her and she let out a string of F bombs no one would ever believe came from her sweet, perfect lips. 
 He thrusts harder, longing to hear more from her dirty, wanton mouth, moving his fingers down to rest between them and draw quick, gentle circles over her clit that make her cry out wordlessly. “That’s it, angel,” he praises, sucking a bruise into her skin as she cries out into his ear. “So fucking perfect, are you gonna come for me?” 
 “Yeah,” she moans. “Fuck, don’t stop, please.” 
 He doesn’t, and he promises her he won’t, and he keeps his promise, driving into her until her ankles lock around his hips and her heels press into his ass and he’s thrusting harder and harder until she’s screaming into his neck, trying desperately to stay quiet for fear that anyone walking by the van could hear her. She squeezes his cock as she comes around him, bringing him right to the edge with her until he’s spilling himself into her and groaning into her ear, his hands gripping her thighs just below her ass and his lips stuck to her neck. 
 She sighs after a while, several minutes having gone by before she breathlessly murmurs, “Oooh, gosh,”  and he laughs at her refusal to swear unless she wants him to fuck her brains out. 
 He kisses her cheek this time, then the pink skin behind her ear that’s bound to turn into a bruise by the end of the night. “Sorry about that,” he says softly, somehow earning a soft giggle even though she should probably be pissed at him. 
 “It’s fine,” she says, although she normally panics if he ever leaves any sort of mark that can be seen when she gets home.
 “Is it?” he asks, leaning up on his elbows to take a good look at her soft smile. 
 She shrugs casually, her eyes heavy and her face blissful. “I graduated, I'm 18, I'm moving out at the end of the summer… what can she really do?”
 His fingers brush her long bangs away from her eyes, her efforts at growing them out driving her insane to the point that she normally pins them back, although he does love to see them messy like this. “True,” he muses gently as she nuzzles her cheek into his hand. It’s another reason to be nauseatingly proud of her, the fact that she’s finally getting away from home and moving a few hours away to Muncie for college making his heart race, although there’s still a few months before she moves away from her mother. “But it’s only May. What’s gonna happen from now until August?” 
 She shrugs again, a little less casual this time. “I guess I'll just… lie low.” 
 Lying low isn’t something that seems all that possible in the Cunningham household, at least based on what she’s told him, but she never really likes to talk about it much. They should be getting cleaned up and on their way anyway, the ceremony almost over after they snuck away early. He’s expected at a Hellfire Club party later, and she mentioned maybe doing one last hoorah with the cheer squad. Plus, given their track record, Mike Wheeler is due to accidentally walk in on them any second now. But despite the fact that he knows they need to got a move on, he finds himself desperate to know that she hears just one thing.
 “Well… you know uncle Wayne will always let you stay with us, even though he’d make me stay on the couch.” 
 “Because we’d get up to so much trouble when he’s home?” she jokes.
 “Right. The sex, the drugs, the rock and roll– it’s horrifying.” She laughs, and his heart stops for a second. “But seriously, if you ever need anything… I'm your guy.” 
 “I know that, Eddie,” she tells him, her voice soothing and calm and serious, her palm cupping his cheek and her lips turning up in a gentle smile. “I’ve always known that.” 
 He thinks back to how they got here, how they came together, grew together, became who they are to each other now, and he knows she means it.

Get to know me - Sims style
Thanks for the tag, @nocturnalazure. I love doing things like this, especially when I don’t have a lot of other updates. 😄 Keeps things active. Long read, so under the cut!
What’s your favourite Sims death?
This is such a weird question to me. I mean, I know there's whole crowds of people who play this game for the sole purpose of killing their Sims off, but I'm so attached to my Sims, their deaths can truly upset me somewhat. So, no, I don't have a "favourite death".
Alpha CC or MaxisMatch?
It truly depends on what I need. I guess I use more MaxisMatch CC though.
Do you cheat your sims weight?
Absolutely. I have them gain or lose weight when it fits their character at that point in their life of their story.
Do you use move objects?
I can't play without it.
Favourite Mod?
Anything NRAAS. I probably would have given up on this game if it weren't for those mods.
First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?
For TS3 it was World Adventures
Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing?
Alive.
Who’s your favourite sim that you’ve made?
Are you seriously asking me to choose between my babies? I have so many faves and they change from time to time too. But I guess James is a good contender. He has a very interesting character profile which grew and developed over time. Part of his story is yet to be revealed but is very much alive in my mind. 😄 However, technically I didn't 'make' James. I created his parents and James, along with his sisters, was an EA generated child.
Have you made a simself?
Yes, she's my avatar on here. I recently updated her, because she was still a YA and, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm past that life stage now. 😄 I also updated her hairstyle and clothing to fit the current me a bit more. She's not as good a match to my actual self as some of the other sim selves I've seen people create over the years, but she comes close.
I don't play my selfsim. That feels weird to me. No offence to others who do, though. It's just not my style.
Which is your favourite EA hair colour?
There's a light brown colour I'm partial to at the moment, but without opening my game I have no idea if it's an EA colour or one I've added. Recently I've become annoyed by the reddish shade of EA's darker brown, but a lot of my Sims have that hair colour, so I'm subtly changing it on some of them.
Favourite EA hair?
I have so much CC hair (need to do a purge), that I don't actually remember what hair is EA. 🤣
Favourite life stage?
I mostly enjoy playing my older teens and young adults. I know most players don't distinguish between younger and older teens, but the way I approach the game means there's definitely a difference between younger and older teens. And the older teens and young adults are usually the most interesting because I get to create the most drama during those years.
Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
I used to be both equally. Building up my town and then playing it. But my gameplay changed so now I'm not sure. I play to tell the story and I build to set the scene for the story, mostly.
My extensive town is still the starting point for everything though. Honeycomb Valley means a lot to me and I'm in the process of building up a 2.0 version of my town. Hopefully, I'm able to create a (slightly) lighter version of the town and therefore a smaller-sized save file. I'm by no means an expert builder, but I can create decent (simple) lots.
Are you a CC creator?
No. I do create pictures and custom signs for my own game though.
Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?
Yes, I'm pretty sure I do. Back in the forum days, I was rather closely connected to quite a few other Simmers. There are a few people I'm also connected to on regular social media platforms, so we follow each other's personal lives alongside our Sim ones. In July 2014 I met up with my SimSisters Sandy (@aroundthesims) and Sara (@simsaralove) in Paris for a day, which was absolutely brilliant. Especially when you realise we all live in different countries. A few weeks later, Sara visited me in my hometown for a (beach)day. ❤️
Besides these lovelies, there are a couple of people on here whom I follow religiously because I either greatly admire what they do/write/play or because they're just lovely. Or both. 🥰 I guess I consider those connections a virtual friendship in a way too. At least from my perspective.
Do you have any sims merch?
Nope.
Do you have a YouTube for sims?
No, I just have Tumblr and my WordPress blog.
How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?
Oh, loads! When I played The Sims 1 and 2 I played rounds of 2 days per family. When The Sims 3 came around I started playing SimYears. At first, my style of playing was just visiting families and going with the flow. Pretty much as I had always done before that. I didn't even take screenshots. It wasn't until I became an active member of the Sims community that I found out there was actually an interest in my Sims and that’s when I started actively taking (pretty bad) pictures of the things I played out and writing stories. Back then, Sandy called her stories "non-stories", which very much applied to me as well, so I adopted that term. Not so much stories, but rather a picture collection of things that occurred with a line of text. Reading my earlier (non-)stories now, I'm often tempted to go back and change them, but I won't.
Gradually, things changed. I started to plan events and happenings, and then playing those out. Characters developed and got more depth. I spent more time telling their individual backstories. It was actually you, @nocturnalazure, who gave me one of the loveliest compliments I've ever received a few years ago on a story and I never forgot that. You said you had always liked my stories, but the more recent ones made you feel more connected to my characters. That meant a lot to me. ❤️
Now, story planning has become my main starting point. I hardly ever have time to play randomly (which I do regret, I loved doing that), but planning and writing first and then playing out the stories absolutely works for me. I even threw my "no poses policy" away. 😄
My different approach to gameplay and storytelling sometimes also makes me a bit anxious though. KimmiesSimmies used to be light, airy, cute and innocent. Even the name is. Lately, what with writing first, the tide is turning. While I can still write "cute", my stories are generally more serious, sometimes quite a bit less innocent than they used to be. Take James for instance. As I mentioned earlier, there's a lot more to be told when it comes to his story. And the things which are about to come up (not soon, but they will) are definitely not light and airy, cute and innocent, but quite deep and even a bit dark. I want to tell these stories, but at the same time, I'm apprehensive about it. Is this still KimmiesSimmies material?
What’s your origin id?
I have no idea.
Who’s your favorite CC creator?
Definitely Sandy, @aroundthesims, when it comes to objects. She always seems to create just what I need. ❤️
How long have you had simblr?
Tumblr told me it was my 10 year anniversary about a week after I returned from my hiatus last March. So, 10 years apparently! I was away for 5 though, so it doesn't really count.
How do you edit your pictures?
Two/three clicks in PicMonkey. And then it'll just have to do.
What expansion/ gamepack is your favourite?
Either Seasons or University
I'm not tagging anyone in particular this time, but if you read this and think, 'hey, that seems fun, I want to do this', please consider yourself tagged. 😉

sims tag
Thank you @occultpuppy for the tag! In classic Bats fashion, I am filling this out 4 billion years late.
1. Alpha CC or Maxis Match? I used to be hardcore Maxis Match but I am getting into Maxis Mix these days because of the characterization you can achieve with skin details and eyes. 
2. What’s your favourite sims death? Few deaths are as good as the Mummy’s Curse in Sims 3. Honorable mentions go to pufferfish nigiri and deathl-scented flower arrangements for hot babes that do murder.
3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight? I’ve had a vain sim buy the insta-lean reward before, but I hated the result so I haven’t used it since. Other than that, no.
4. Do you use move objects? Who doesn’t???
5. Favorite mod? I’ve been playing this game waaaay too long to have just one favorite, lol. If I have to choose just one to feature right now… TOOL, maybe? But the Nraas suite from the Sims 3 days is also a contender. 
6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got? Of all time, Livin’ Large, of course. I usually get the first expansion for each installment of the series. I got all of the Sims 4 expansions at once, though. 
7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or Living? Live as in alive. Sorry, folks.
8. Have you made a simself? I tried once but it looked nothing like me. I’m not really a simself kind of player. 
9. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? Come onnnn don’t ask me thisssss. If we’re talking completely from scratch, I have to say Biagio. I think Luisa is a really good-looking sim, but she’s technically based on her Sims 3 counterpart who was born in-game. 
10. What sim traits do you give yourself? If I have to pick just 3 traits from Sims 4, it’s probably Art Lover, Perfectionist, and Jealous.
11. Which is your favorite EA hair color? Probably platinum blonde? Or possibly the brown and gray for added townie flavor.
12. Favorite EA hair? I really couldn’t tell you. It’s probably a male hair. A lot of CC male hair is a little too K-pop for my taste.
13. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? I like a healthy mix of both, but I’m bad at building so it gives me anxiety. That’s when I set the game down and walk away for several months. 🙃
14. Favorite life stage? None! I play on really long lifespans and it’s a joy to watch a sim go through them all. 
15. Are you a CC creator? I’ve recolored things for myself and make my own poses, but I don’t follow any quality control so I don’t share them. 
16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? Not really. :( Most of my mutuals from the Sims 3 era seem to have retired. Shout out to the people that do consistently interact with my stuff. <3 I’m trying to be more active so I can connect with people again. 
17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)  They’re all special in their own way! If I have to pick, it’s a toss-up between 2 and 3. Sims 2 had some of the last really EXCELLENT writing of the series, and Sims 3 is still undefeated in terms of sandbox gameplay. 
18. Do you have any sims merch? No, lol. I think I had that USB at one point. No idea what happened to that. 
19. Do you have a YouTube for sims? No, but I want one!!
20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing? I used to play strictly one family legacy-style on normal lifespans, trying to get as many generations as possible. Now I like to take more time with my characters to develop them. Now I play extreeeemely long lifespans and rotate between many families. 
21. What’s your Origin ID? 🏴‍☠️
22. Who’s your favorite CC creator? Don’t make me pick, lol. Just scroll my finds blog @batsfinds or my Pinterest.
23. How long have you had a simblr? Since November, 2011 🥲 Fuck, I’m old. 
24. How do you edit your pictures? Gshade + Photoshop/Lightroom
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS BANDS
26. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? I really like Vampires and Cottage Living. 
Thanks for reading! Tagging my love, @veryflirtytransportalate and you, dear reader!

AutobotSariSumdac2023-Blog Part 1 + Cybertronian & FNAF (2023)
----------------
[Note: DO NOT REBLOG WITHOUT PERMISSION] 
Credit for Transformers goes to Hasbro & Takara
Credit for Transformers Animated goes to Sam Register & Matt Youngberg
Credit for Transformers Prime Series goes to Allspark Company
Credit for Ancient Autobot Language & Decepticon Language goes to Jim Sorenson
Credit for Transformers Film Series goes to Paramount Pictures & Michael Bay 
Credit for FNAF goes to Scott Cawthon
------
at first when I drew Sari’s robot form’s head, it was originally just gonna be for the drawing at the bottom of Sari’s blog....
but then I got the idea to use the drawing for a type of “blog” idea....
even if it is more of a Ficto-Blog that is suppose to be Sari writing her feelings down about how she feels about being Techno-Organic and finding out that her Mom is technically Megatron.
so I am posting both works in this and since this is also a Crossover as well, I also added FNAF Fanart for one of the tags, as well as the Crossover fanart tag.
and since Breakdown and Knockout from Transformers Prime are mention in this as well, I added their names into the tags as well.
oh and in Sari’s blog, her timeline’s Prowl never stayed offline for long.
because Sari’s key still had lots of power in it, and when this version of Sari upgraded herself, she still looked the same age, so when she transformed into robot form during her childhood, she looked like a 8 year old robot.
one of the things that did change was her eye color, which like her counterpart that used all the allspark-key to not just upgrade herself but become much older...
but this version of Sari who goes by the username “AutobotSariSumdac2023″
she only used a little of the allspark-key’s power to only upgrade herself a little, and still stayed the same age she was before she upgraded herself.
this version of Sari didn’t end up hurting Bumblebee after the upgrade.   
maybe I will only make a few of “AutobotSariSumdac2023′s Blog”
not sure if I will make a lot of it, maybe only a few.
also as it points out in the poorly wrote Cybertronian Language,
The Transformers Reaction Force aren’t my favorite and I view them as being dirty shisno (Thank You Red Vs Blue for starting the “Shisno Word”)
I tried my best to write in Cybertronian, but it didn’t come out very well.
at least I added the translation in there.
I don’t know which group is the biggest Shisno in the Bayformers Universe, Sector Seven or The Transformers Reaction Force....
yeah it’s no contest, 100% The Transformers Reaction Force....
they make Sector Seven seem like misbehaved children in comparison.
 anyway when I can, I will make a Part 2 of AutobotSariSumdac2023′s blog.
not sure if I will make very many, maybe only a few.
I can’t promise that I will make a whole lot of AutobotSariSumdac2023′s Ficto-Blog.
I got the idea on February 18, 2023, and not sure if I will make it into a very big thing.
and just in case, I’m going to have some of the tags have “budding”, “asexual reproduction”, “mature audiences only” and “not for kids”  because even if this isn’t really like “super mature” but because it does have Sari mentioning Cybertronian’s going through a budding stage, and well she does end up adding that it is Asexual Reproduction for Cybertronians.
and well best to play it safe...just in case.
Knockout viewing Sari as his baby, and being like a Mother-Hen to her, just seem like a interesting idea to have Sari write for her blog.      
like picture a Transformers x Steven Universe Crossover,
and Knockout being like Pearl, and if he encounters SG-Sari
who tries to pass herself off as Sari, he might end up screaming “THAT’S NOT MY BABY” while hugging on to Safeguard (who is more like a platonic fusion like Steven & Greg’s fusion, only instead it being a Father & Son Fusion, it’s a Sibling Fusion, because Safeguard is made up of the twins Jetfire & Jetstorm.)
as for who would be the Amethyst, I would pick Wreck-Gar.
if Knockout ever ended up having a crush on Wreck-Gar, would it be viewed as him being Moronsexual....?  
well in the canon timeline of TFP, Breakdown does end up you know....
great, now I want to ship Knockout x Wreck-Gar. XD
should they be Knock-Gar or Wreckout...?
I would go with both, beware of the odd couple that is TFP-Knockout x TFA-Wreck-Gar.
weirdest ship idea ever but I love it. XD

Pokemon Card of the Day #2592: Raichu-GX (Shining Legends)
Tumblr media
Raichu-GX was all about power. It had a stand-alone attack with a notable drawback and one that needed set-up but could be extremely strong with enough set-up. Lightning was a type with plenty of competition, as a Pokemon of the type had to stand out among a wide variety of choices as well as against Rayquaza-GX, which wasn’t Lightning-type but paired with them anyway. The strength here gave Raichu-GX a good chance, though the lack of extra perks did mean it would almost entirely rely on that to break through.
210 HP was good for a Stage 1 Pokemon-GX, being similar to most of its competition. It did have to look out a bit more than most, as Thunder did damage Raichu-GX when used and 180, while by no means frail, was starting to get in the range of strong boosted attacks and 150, if it got to that, wasn’t that reliable at all. The Fighting Weakness gave an opening to Lycanroc-GX and various other Pokemon of the type, with it mattering a lot in the BKT-On format and not nearly as much after the rotation to SUM-On. The Metal Resistance didn’t change too much, as nice as it was to see a Resistance when many Pokemon lacked one. Being able to retreat for just an Energy was quite nice as well.
Powerful Spark needed a lot of set-up to reach its potential, as the base damage was just 20 for 2 Colorless Energy. Each Lightning Energy attached to any of your Pokemon added 20. This could add up, and while it was hard to get up to numbers like 8 or more Energy in play, cards like Max Elixir, Pikachu & Zekrom-GX, Tapu Koko Prism Star, and Thunder Mountain Prism Star could certainly help get there. The other issue that, with all of the set-up needed, it was hard to outdo either Rayquaza-GX or Pikachu & Zekrom-GX as an attacker, with its chances better alongside the Tag Teams simply because Powerful Spark could technically reach even greater heights and Lightning had more support there.
Thunder did 160 damage for 2 Lightning and a Colorless Energy, which was very impressive. 30 damage to Raichu-GX was a pain as it made some damage numbers a lot easier to hit, though against some Pokemon you’d still be able to take a hit so it wasn’t completely going to destroy its bulk every time. You’d still need to be careful, especially in a potential Lightning-type mirror match as both Rayquaza-GX and Pikachu & Zekrom-GX could find ways to 180. The reliable damage came in handy rather often nonetheless.
The GX attack here, Voltail GX, did just 120 for 3 Energy, but also guaranteed Paralysis and had no drawback. There were probably better GX attacks in any deck you’d use Raichu-GX in even if the Paralysis could come in handy sometimes.
Raichu-GX was a strong attacker for a type that could provide it the Energy it needed, making it rather good. Lightning was also full of Pokemon to work with, with Pikachu & Zekrom-GX being mentioned for a reason here, being powerful and being able to help other Pokemon set up. The type also had Zapdos for single-Prize attacking, Zeraora-GX for free retreating, Jolteon-GX and Xurkitree-GX to wall certain things while still getting some damage off, and Raichu & Alolan Raichu-GX which gave up an extra Prize but was generally a better alternative in this role. It’s amazing that Raichu-GX, which was functionally rather good, almost never made it into a deck, but that was the reality of being a Lightning-type. Being rather good wasn’t enough there, and it would take one more Raichu card to get to that point.

never heard of polyphia until one of my classmates mentioned it and now I’m seeing it everywhere (basset meinhoff phenomenon moment)
(apparently my modern band teacher’s teaching assistant used to do vocals for them - aforementioned classmate is a big polyphia fan so she’s been bombarding him with questions lol)
do you have any song recs for them?
i also never heard of polyphia… until this past sunday.
(super fucking cool about your ta! idek what i'd ask in that position… ig if you're doing band you actually want to do music in the future so it's just feeling around what contemporaries are up to, esp ones that you are a fan of)
tldr from oldest to newest to hear their progression:
inspire ep ("impassion")
envision single
muse album ("aviator", "jungle", "james franco")
renaissance album ("nightmare", "storm", "bittersweet", "amour", or "euphoria"; the 'or' is intentional)
entire the most hated ep ("icronic", "goose", "40oz")
entire new levels new devils album ("nasty", "saucy", "g.o.a.t." at the top. esp "g.o.a.t.")
"look but don't touch" single
entire remember that you will die album (esp "playing god", "bloodbath", "riverie", "chimera", "neurotica", "ego death")
in-depth reasoning why i picked those songs in particular under the cut
equation to finding polyphia via ytube algorithm:
synth/eurorack/producer ytube + anime ost and rock covers of those osts = twitch episode of herman li from dragonforce talking about "playing god"
clicked the vid, the intro to the song blew my metaphorical nuts clean off
bc of the way i listen to music, non-stop looping from sun-tues until i finished typing my proposal document
=
with these songs, you can hear their evolution from super technical prog metalcore (more metal than mathrock, more alternative influences) to what they are today.
old stuff, super super quintessential prog and math. noodling on, exploring but not much direction, interesting but ultimately unmemorable. "impassion" is the strongest of the old ep that took an idea and developed it to an end.
"envision" is super metalcore, but i like it. starting to see them fuck around with tempo and time signatures as they feel like it, rather than following a formula even during exploration.
of the muse album, this is the foreshadowing of what's to come. adding to the genre, experimenting and developing musical ideas more. i find that the most developed of the bunch are "aviator", "jungle", and "james franco"
renaissance album wasn't a big evolution since muse. but the biggest change is not just the focus on technical playing, they start messing with production. composition, mixing. really feels like their pondering what is their style. "nightmare", "storm", "bittersweet", "paradise", "amour", and "euphoria" all had some central musical idea and stuck with them; and despite being different it's more like a commentary on their style such that pick one to enjoy. they've def chilled out more by the end of this album and even the songs seem to feel like they know what direction they want to explore next.
the most hated ep YO. they're coming. really dialing in on that focus and pointed flex of their technique, rather than a scattered showing. the whole fucking ep is amazing, but standouts are "icronic", "goose", and "40 oz". you can tell they're getting comfortable with where they stand and what they do. the technical nature of their playing is more understated, with stronger melodic ideas, and you get some memorable riffs and licks.
new levels new devils HERE WE GO. verm bf thinks this is the best album, but i love the style of the new one too much to agree (getting there next). can't really avoid trap and hiphop this day and age, so why not ingest it? that influence starts coming in, and rather than a mashup or a remix, it is borrowing that influence to give this "if you know you know" stage for their musical skill and technique to Flex. no more getting lost in the sauce like prog metalcore. G.O.A.T IS FUCKING GOAT IF YOU READ MY TAGS IN THE LAST POST
look but don't touch is both more trap and metal at the same time. i find it interesting bc it's loud like a lot of older styles of rock, but it doesn't feel in your face. and the fact they chose to wind the song down at the end w vocals shows they know what they want to do and they'll just fucking do it. i can respect that
remember that you will die I love spanish guitar and latin style, holy fucking shit aaaaaa, that bossa nova in there is fucking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 "genesis" is so funky, i feel like this is a b-side to a persona game ost lmao. "playing god" sucked me off and gave me a kiss that's how fucking good it was to listen to holy shit i want to explode!!! abso-fucking-lutely a flex with the playing, the bassline and drums are so fucking immaculate keeping the bounce without turning it heavy. god plays that song. "riverie" brought back the howls from "g.o.a.t." and you really see them come into playing and producing. "neurotica" is a bit lighter and just super cute and fun. "chimera" with that bossa nova in the middle YUH, "bloodbath" w deftone's moreno, more metal but without the heavy dissonance of deftones. and "ego death" is as cleanly as you can lay it out: a juxtaposition of one of the greats vs new talent
i really can't wait to see what they do next, bc even if it's not exactly to my taste, i feel like it'll at least be interesting.

Sweet Enough (Jimmy Boyd x Reader)
•• I was watching a rerun of NOLA and it rekindled the undying passion I have for this man. This is a short one, but I think its great just the way it is! I hope you all enjoy! ❤️ ••
You’d heard both your friends and your co-workers say great things about the Tru-tone. It was close by, usually had great bands, and the drinks weren't that bad either. So, instead of spending another Friday night on the couch you decided to go check out the bar. You didn't have much else going on in what little of a social life you had. You walked through the door and were met with a sea of people. The band must be a pretty popular one. You could have sworn you bumped into every single person there as you made your way to the bar, saying excuse me over and over. You sighed in relief as you managed to snag a seat at the end of the bar. Maybe you should have chosen a weekday to come down here so it wouldn't be so crowded.
“First time?” You look up at the bartender. He was smiling ear to ear. “Welcome to the Tru-Tone. I'm Jimmy.” He winked. “What can I get ya? We have just about everything.” You laughed.
“That doesn't help narrow down my choices, much, does it?” You start rooting through your wallet for cash.
“Well then, why don't I make you the Jimmy special?” He waved his hand at your wallet. “First one's on me.” You couldn't help but smile at his words. Damn, his mood was infectious.
“Depends,” You quip. ��What's in it?” He headed over the shelves and picked up a glass.
“Wouldn't be very special if you knew that, would it? Be right back.” You watch him parouse over the choices of liquor before your eyes drift over towards the band. It's a few minutes and you’ve kind of zoned out to the music when a glass is set down in front of you. What's inside is a deep shade of pink and garnished with a piece of mint and a lemon peel. “Come on, try a sip and tell me what ya think. I'm trying to convince my brother to add it to the drink menu.” You take the glass in your hands and put the straw to your lips.
“Oh? Is your brother the manager or something?” It tastes like Strawberry and sweet syrup. The mint helped balance the sweetness and the lemon added a nice hint of acidity. He threw his head back in a laugh. You could barely hear it over the music but it sounded like heaven.
“Honey, he owns this joint. Technically we both do. He's that stud on the keyboard up there.” He pointed to the stage and you followed his finger to see just who he was pointing to. He looked older than Jimmy, but not to old. He looked like he was having the time of his life, you hadn't seen the smile disappear yet. “Same daddy, different mama’s. As if ya couldn't tell.” He grabbed a glass from a patron and made him a fresh drink.
“Don't sell yourself short, you both have the same spirit. At least as far as I can tell.” You put your elbows up on the bar and fold your hands together, placing your chin on top. “Thanks for talking with me.” You watched as he quickly grabbed a napkin and fiddled with it before turning back around to you. He holds out the napkin to you and your eyes widen at the phone number.
“Forgive me if this is too forward but…here’s my number. You know…in case you want me to make you another Jimmy special sometime?” You stare at the napkin in your hands before taking another swallow of your drink. Your throat suddenly to dry to let you speak.
“I…” You start. “I'd really like that, Jimmy.” You pulled your phone from your pocket and entered in his information. You didn't want to stuff the napkin in your pocket and take the risk of it being too smudged to make out the numbers. You’ve seen enough movies to see how that plays out. “By the way, you're drink is amazing. You should definitely pitch it to your brother.” He straightened out and a glint came to his eyes.
“Really? It's not too sweet?” You shook your head, humming.
“It's just sweet enough.”

anon: Can you do a one-shot where the reader was born on 1996 and she’s the daughter of Nikki Sixx and Brandi Brandt and it’s the bassist and songwriter of Wallows (…) and she helps 5sos write songs for the album CALM and starts dating Ashton and the fans go nuts (in a good way) with shipping? There’s no drama like it was in EUH
It was another boring day in the studio and you would literally prefer to do anything else than to listen to Cole talk about the last date he had instead of working on your new song. But inspiration was lacking between you and your bandmates and you really had no other choice since you already took that time on the studio’s schedule.
One would believe that you would be used to dull times in the studio, having spent a lot of time on them while growing up with your parents, but boredom was a cruel crime inside your head and today your patience was running thin.
“Hey, peanut!” Dylan called your attention “Everything good there?”
You were laying on the sofa, looking at the ceiling for some kind of saving grace, but Dylan’s voice brought you back to your reality.
“Are we going to get something done today?” You asked with a sigh, with your eyes still glued to the ceiling “Cause we are really just wasting time by now and I don’t think Cole’s last fling will bring any kind of inspo into our little group”
“Hey!” Cole protested, earning a chuckle from Braeden.
“Whatever,” You said, already getting up from your spot “I’m going to take a walk”
You took a deep breath once you closed the door to your private room. You loved the guys, you really do, but sometimes people can be too much, especially people who you spend every single day and hour with.
Memories from the past year started to fill your mind and you smiled when thinking about how much your little band has grown. Wallows was now everywhere, you created a name for yourself without using your parent’s influence and you were so damn proud of that, yet when moments like these come around - the moments where you just need to breathe to escape the reality for just a while - you start to reflect on every choice you made and if they were the right ones.
It’s the overthinking that got you to write those first lyrics in the first place, the ones that were put into songs and now were, somehow, all over TikTok with thousands of people relating to them. So maybe, overthinking now might not be such a bad idea after all.
“It’s a terrible idea if you think about it for more than one minute, mate”
You stopped in your tracks when you heard that voice, thinking that maybe you were finally going crazy or someone could’ve read your mind. But it wasn’t until you heard someone else answer that you realized it was a conversation.
“Well, I don’t know what to do with it anymore!”
You turned your head to the left and smiled when you saw the little sign that said “5SOS now in session. DO NOT DISTURB” And realized that your other favorite boys were back in town.
Of course you ignored the sign and knocked on the door a couple of times before opening it shamelessly.
“Well, well, well…” You said with a teasing smile as you leaned over the door frame “If it isn’t my second favorite Aussie band”
The faces of two of the members of said band light up once they realize it was you, quickly getting up to wrap you in a hug.
“Mini Sixx!” Calum said, ruffling his hand through your hair “About time you came to visit us”
You pushed him and Luke away from you “And you should’ve told me you’re back from your break! I could’ve escaped Dylan and the other minions earlier”
“Rough session?” Luke asked, seating down and patting the place next to him for you to sit on.
“Oh, you have no idea”
You loved the 5sos guys, it was impossible not to. Ever since you met them at a label party in 2015 when you were introduced to them because you were the same age as half of the group, you knew that they were made to be on the stage.
It was easy to become their friend, given their welcoming attitude and easy-going smiles even before they found out who your parents were. It was nice for a change not to be Y/N Sixx, daughter of the famous bassist of Mötley Crüe and famous Playboy doll Brandi Brandt, for a moment and just be Y/N, a bassist that had a lot to give to the world. And with the boys you didn’t even have to try to be someone you were not, with them everything was just so… real.
Just like now, where you were allowed to complain about your lovely bandmates to them and they would complain just as well, with no judgment nor responsibilities, just three friends letting out some steam due to the stress of your careers.
“-And basically we don’t know what else to do with the song” Luke finished his rant on the missing piece of their new song for their next album.
“And you have the lyrics ready?”
“Yeah, me and my girl wrote it a few weeks ago but the melody is just…”
“It’s missing something” Calum finished for him with a sigh.
You hummed “Can I see it?”
The two Australians got to work, playing the song with the piano and the guitar and you came to the conclusion that they were right: there was something big missing.
“So it’s a ballad,” You said, thinking of ways to fix it.
“Technically yes, but when you play it like that it sounds incomplete and the lyrics won’t work with another type of rhythm” Luke sighed “We’ve been at it for days now.”
You stayed quiet for a while, reviewing the lyrics and melody more carefully now, analyzing the situation with different approaches but without getting anywhere. It was a beautiful song, it truly was, but it needed something else, something that could create a “boom” sensation for whoever was listening.
Something like…
“Hey guys, have you finished with the- Oh, Hey, Y/N/N!” Ashton said, opening the door and finding you with his bandmates in deep concentration.
Bingo.
“Uh, why are you smiling at me like that?” Ashton asked you with a chuckle, but you didn’t even address him as you turned to Luke and Calum.
“It needs drums”
“What?” The three men said in unison. You rolled your eyes and snatched the notes from Calum’s lap and started to sing the melody.
“Here!” You pointed out “In this part, before finishing the first chorus: I already made, already made that…” And then you started to make drum noises and movements with your arms for them to get the idea.
In a matter of seconds, Luke got up from his seat and walked towards you, taking the notes from you and reviewing them with new eyes, smiling as he got the idea.
“Ha!” He laughed loudly, “You’re a fucking genius!”
“Thank you,” You said with a smug smile as you, Calum and Luke started to discuss the arrangements.
“Wait, hold up” Ashton interrupted the chatter “Y/N, I appreciate you trying to help and no offense and all but I think this isn’t your place to just decide something like that,” He said, pointing to the three of you.
You rolled your eyes. You’ve dealt with stubborn people before, but Ashton did take a spot on your top three and you knew just how to handle him.
“Wow,” You said sarcastically with a teasing smile “One would think that by being half of the rhythm section you would have more… I don’t know, rhythm?”
Ashton crooked an eyebrow and you and you knew you had him in the bag “I just don’t think-”
“You don’t think?” You said, getting up from your chair and walking up to him to be almost chest to chest. You looked up to his eyes and challenged him “Or you just can’t handle the fact that I might’ve had a better idea than you”
You could see by the sparkle in his eyes that he has taken the challenge to heart. He took a step closer to you, almost pressing his body completely against yours, and smirked.
“Want me to prove you wrong, princess?” He teased but you didn’t back up.
“I’d like to see you try, darling”
Ashton’s smirk widened as he took a step back, turning his head towards Luke and Calum who were watching the scene with intrigued eyes and knowing smiles “Get your asses back in the recording booth”
He followed them as they walked into the big recording space they had, but not before sending you a wink seconds after he closed the door.
You were thankful he didn’t see you blush.
Once they were all set with their instruments - Calum on the keys, Luke on the guitar, and Ashton behind his drum set - You pressed the buttons of the console that would make it possible for you to hear them at the other side of the mirrored glass.
“Okay boys, show me what you got”
*
You became an official 5SOS songwriter after that day and even Ashton had to admit that you were adding so much more to the band lyrics and melodies since you started to work with them.
Every day you would find yourself walking towards their studio after your band’s session and you start to work wherever they left off. It was a simple dynamic that worked wonders for everyone and after every session, you would get even more inspired to write your own music for Wallows, so it was a win-win situation, not to mention, spending time with your new co-workers; especially a particular drummer that grew closer to you that you would’ve ever imagined.
When you first met the band you hit it off pretty quickly with Luke and Calum, them being the same age as you and having pretty much the same interests; then came Michael that shared a similar sense of humor with you and with whom you discussed videogames with. But Ashton was always the one that you consciously tried to not get too close to.
In all honesty, he intimidated you but not in a bad way. He was smart, talented, and super funny, not to mention also ridiculously handsome. But he was also stubborn, a little bit egotistical, and the only one that could keep up with you in a battle of wits, teasing, and sarcasm. And you knew that if you mixed that all together it might mean trouble, especially when he smiled at you like that.
Of course you had a crush on him, who wouldn’t? But the fact is that you know what it is like to date in the industry and having feelings for a member of another pretty famous band might bring some tension to the table, so it was safer to play the crushing card and just stay friends. Or at least that’s what you tell yourself every day since you started to see him regularly and spend more time with him than with any other of the two bands.
Speaking of…
“Earth to Y/N?” Called Braeden waving a hand in front of your face “Is anybody there?”
You blinked a few times before pushing his hand away with a scoff “Very funny, B. What’s up?”
“You spaced out again” Cole added, fidgeting with his drumsticks “Just when we were going to start complimenting you on that bass line you wrote the other day…”
You smiled as you threw a pillow at him that he was able to easily dodge “Sorry, I was just-”
“Thinking about a particular drummer again?” Dylan teased, to which Cole added.
“I knew it wouldn’t take long for you to fall in love with me”
You searched for other pillows and started to throw them at your band members, giggling as they started to throw them back at you and starting an improvised pillow fight in the middle of the recording booth.
“Hey, Y/N/N! I was wondering if you-” Ashton’s sentence was cut short as he opened the door and took in the scene that was in front of him.
You were so busy chasing Breaden with a pillow on each hand and a devilish smile that you didn’t even notice when the door opened or that Ashton was standing there, smiling at you with his arms crossed as you aimed at your bandmate's head.
“Oh look, peanut!” Dylan said teasingly “You knight in shiny armor is here to-” But before he could say anything more embarrassing, you threw a pillow directly at his face to shut him out.
You quickly turned your head to Ashton who was fairly amused by your battle skills and smiled at him.
“Hey!” You said breathlessly after chasing down the others.
“Hi,” He smiled back “Am I interrupting something or?”
“Nah, you’re good,” You said, throwing one last pillow at your three friends that stood in a corner blowing teasing kisses and puppy eyes at the two of you “These assholes and I are done for the day” You commented before said assholes started to pout and complain, but you were already out the door before they could say something embarrassing again.
“So…” Ashton trailed off, starting to walk alongside you with his hands in his front pockets.
“So,” You said, drifting your eyes from him and praying to the universe that he didn’t hear anything or else it would make the blush on your face even pinker “You needed me for something?”
You wanted to get the topic of work right there in the open as soon as possible, not wanting him to notice how nervous you got when you were alone with him. At least when you were talking about work you leveled the ground in some parts.
“Actually, I’m going home early today” He smiled softly “Luke and the guys are working on a love song that’s just way too happy and butterflies - in - your -stomach like and I didn’t think they needed me there if I can’t bring nothing to the table”
“You’re not a lovey-dovey feeling kinda guy?” You teased by bumping your arm with his, earning a “hey” from him “I actually get it, I’m not that kind of person either”
“It’s not like I don’t like it, it’s just that-”
“You process your emotions differently, and it’s easier to write those when you think of love in other stages and/or mixed with other complex emotions because-”
“Love is not just one-sided! Yes!” Ashton celebrated, amazed that you could understand what he was saying “I knew you would get it”
That comment made your cheeks heat up as you looked at him, all dimpled smiles and light chuckled as he looked at you with sparkly hazel eyes. Oh no…
“Well,” You said, breaking that little moment “If they are going to work on that all day then I guess I would head home, too. I don’t think I’ll be able to provide anything else either”
“Actually,” Ashton said as he stopped in the middle of the hall leading to the exit, making you stop as well and turn to him “I was wondering if you would want to get some coffee with me now that we are both free. Of course, if you really are free and have nothing else to do and want to actually drink coffee or tea… or maybe not and you’re not that type of person and-”
“Are you asking me out?”
Ashton stopped his rambling and looked at you with an incredulous smile and lightly blushed cheeks.
“I- well, yeah,” He said shyly “Yeah, I am”
You smiled and softly chuckled “Look at the famous drummer all nervous” You teasingly took a step closer to him, not knowing where this confidence was coming from, and he did the same “It’s just me, you know?”
“And that’s exactly the reason why”
“Do I make you nervous, darling?”
“Let’s say that if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have rambled like that, princess”
You pressed your lips in a thin line and smiled as you looked away from him, blushing like a teenager on her first date.
“So…” You trailed off.
“So?”
“Lead the way”
*
From that moment both of your routines changed once again. Now you took time off the studio at least two times a week to go with Ashton on those small friendly dates as he took you out for coffee or just simple but meaningful talks.
Soon enough you lost all the doubts that made you nervous around him, seeing how easy it was to talk to him and how much you had in common in more aspects than just music. You became more comfortable around him and your level of teasing and playing grew alongside your relationship, not to mention the level of teasing and playing you received from your band members and the other 3 Aussies who joined in on all the fun.
You were used to blushing and dismissing comments about your - undeniable - crush on the drummer, but Ashton didn’t seem to be affected by them at all. On the contrary, Ashton played along and even seemed like he was enjoying it. Like in one particular occasion where you were working on a song together and Michael said:
“Oh my god, date her already!”
Ashton didn’t blink an eye before responding “I’m trying! But she just wants to focus on the harmonies”
And you’d be lying if you said that didn’t put a smile on your face.
Yet, you kept it all professional while being in the studio; no need to mix your personal lives with whatever was going on down there, that’s why those coffee runs were your favorites.
It was an unspoken rule between the two of you that “work-talk” was forever banned from those outings.
“So what are we going to talk about?” You asked him the first time you went into his favorite coffee shop.
“Us” He simply answered, unaware of the butterflies he just set in your stomach.
“Us?”
“Yeah, I want to get to know you better, princess. Who is Y/N Sixx?”
“Who is Ashton Irwin?”
“I asked first”
“I asked second” You countered
Ashton smiled widely “You think you’re clever…”
“It doesn’t matter what I think” You answered, casually sipping on your coffee “I know I’m clever just like I know you like me that way”
You were testing the waters back then, hiding the shaking of your knees under the table as you longed to know how he felt about it. But the way he smiled and how he blushed a little bit made all your fears go away.
“Yeah, that I do”
Your cheeks turned red whenever you reminisced about that moment - or any moment that you spent with Ashton for that matter - which gave you the perfect idea for a song.
“I don’t want to kill my time with somebody else…” You hummed to yourself as you wrote down what you think is the chorus to a new song.
You told Ashton that you were not the type to write silly love songs or very uplifting songs; but there was something in that memory, something in that feeling that you couldn't ignore or just let it be without doing something about it. So, you started to write it.
You couldn't separate the feeling from the art, after all, feelings were what led you to dedicate your life to music. People would say it was because of your parent’s influence but they had little to nothing to do with your decision. This was you, the authentical you writing whatever came to mind and then sharing it with the world and only a few people will get it in its entirety. And surely Ashton was one of them.
“Dadadada something, want you all to myself”
“Wacha doing there, princess?”
Speaking of the devil.
Ashton smiled at you as he hunched over the table you were working on, trying to peek at what you were writing. You lifted the notebook and pressed it against your chest faking offense as he giggled.
“Didn’t your mother taught you not to sneak up on people, darling?” You asked as he walked around your workspace and sat himself down on the chair next to you “Besides, you’re late. You were supposed to meet me here like half an hour ago!”
“Aww, sorry Sixx” Ashton pouted “But there were no chocolate chip cookies left in the shop so I had to go around town to get you some” He then put a bag of freshly made cookies on top of the table with a cup filled with coffee.
“You didn’t have to do that, you know?”
“Of course I did! You always only eat chocolate chips cookies in the afternoon”
He started to giggle again, ignoring the way you were looking at him “How did you know that?”
“C’mon, Y/N/N, every time we go for coffee you order two, one for the coffee and another one for the road. And every time we cater something you never touch anything but those cookies”
“I never knew you were so observant”
Ashton shrugged “I just pay attention if I like what I see,” He said nonchalantly with a wink, making you blush instantly, but you covered it up with an eye roll.
“God, you’re terrible” You scoffed.
“I’m honest!” You shook your head and went back to writing, but Ashton was not going to let that go so easily. “Look, how else could I know that you always put an extra bag of sugar in your coffee?”
“‘Cause I always drink the same thing,” You said without looking up from your notebook.
“Yeah, a mocha latte with extra chocolate drizzle and no foam. Honestly, how can you handle that much sugar?” You were about to answer but he caught you off. “But that’s not all you drink, whenever you have a bad day you always order a cup of mango and ginger tea because that’s your mother’s favorite drink and it helps you calm down. You also don’t want anyone to know that you’re having a bad day but the minute someone looks away your smile starts to flatter until you’re back in the conversation”
You stopped the writing completely as you turned to him, suddenly feeling how your heart started to jump all over your chest as he kept talking, eyes never leaving yours as he gave you a soft smile, almost as if he was remembering all those moments with you.
“You draw flowers on the corner of your notebooks whenever you feel bored. You love the sad songs on the radio and you know every single word to Lorde’s Melodrama, yet every time you have to choose a playlist you put 2000’s pop and R&B songs because it hypes you up. You hate awkward silences unless you are the one being quiet. You help Dylan dye his hair every time he asks you to because you would trust each other with your lives, you give Cole relationship advice because you care about him and he always appreciates your advice more than anyone’s and Braeden is your best friend because you always say that he is one of the few people that could make you laugh in a bad day and you have no idea how much I want to be included in that list”
“Ashton-”
“You write better with dim light, it helps you concentrate on your work. You say you don’t believe in astrology yet you check your horoscope every day. You want to make sure that everyone has a good time and feels included, that’s why you always make conversations with Micahel about games you never even heard before or let Luke braid your hair when he’s bored or how you switched topics when you noticed that Calum was not engaging as much in a conversation. You literally take care of everyone but you never let anyone take care of you, and when we do you get all shy and you blush as you say thank you and you have no idea how fucking adorable you look”
You sat there speechless as he spoke. You felt the back of your throat dry as you tried to find the right words to answer all of that.
It was too much. The fact that he knew all of that and how he said it like he was just talking about his favorite things in the world, it was just too much but at the same time, you want to hear him say that again.
A weird sense of joy and shyness came over you as he set his hazel eyes on yours. You gave him a small smile as you averted your gaze to the floor.
“Wow, I-” You started “I never thought someone noticed all that”
“How could I not?” You heard him say “You’re all I can think about and to say that I don’t notice you is like saying I don’t notice the sun in the sky or the stars at night. You’re the brightest light out there, Y/N, you shine everywhere you go”
You noticed how he pulled his chair closer to you and suddenly you felt how your chair started to slowly turn his way until you were face to face.
Ashton carefully placed his fingers under your chin and tilted your head until you were finally looking into his eyes again.
“There she is!” He smiled when he noticed your blushing cheeks and gleaming eyes.
“What do you mean when you say I’m all you think about?” You asked expectantly, curling your fingers nervously on top of your thighs.
Ashton chuckled. “Well, if you didn’t notice, I really fucking like you, Y/N”
You looked up at him, smiling with hopeful eyes and feeling as if a weight was lifted off your chest thanks to the joy you were experiencing while hearing those words.
“You do?”
“Unless you don’t like me back and I just spilled my feelings for nothing-” You smacked him playfully in the arm “Ouch! I’m kidding! Of course I like you! Fuck, Y/N I’ve been falling for years now and I thought I was being pretty obvious”
You laughed “I thought you were just playing!”
In an instant, Ashton pulled your chair closer and grabbed you by the hip, lifting you up and making you sit on his lap as he hugged you by the waist and you placed your arms around his neck.
“I’ve never been more serious in my life,” He said, “I’ll do anything to prove it”
“Well,” You said, pressing a kiss to his cheek and knocking your forehead to his “How about you help me finish this song and then you take me on a date? Cause I’ve been falling for you, too and I don’t want to waste any more time”
Ashton hummed as he nuzzled his nose against your cheek, kissing it softly as he murmured “Will I get to kiss my princess at midnight?”
“Maybe… or you can take your chances now if you’d like”
He smiled.
“I like those odds”
And just before you know it, he softly pressed his lips against yours; finally creating a happy beginning for the two of you.

hi ive got a little game for you! it’s called
“Which Couples Sit How”!!!
categorize the couples from your masterlist into 2 separate seating habits whenever they’re out at public eating places:
1. The Ones Who Sit Side-by-Side
2. The Ones Who Sit Face-to-Face
PS: don’t forget to tag your writer friends so they can join in on the game!!!!
Sorry it took me a while to respond, but I’m really excited to play this game! Thanks anon for sharing it with me, and thanks @jinpanman (Mai’s list), @missgeniality (Siya’s list), @svgahigh (Sam’s list), and @playmetheclassics (Indigo’s list) for tagging me 💜 
Here are the couples from the chaptered fics in my masterlist! All but one of these fics are reader inserts, and I added the “Both” and “Neither” designations from other versions of the game as well. Happy reading!
Tumblr media
The Ones Who Sit Side-by-Side
Countermelody | MYG. When you’re out with the guys eating hot pot, Yoongi (very sexily) uses one hand to crack and drop an egg to poach in the broth, at your request (read: challenge). If you don’t sit next to him, how are you supposed to run your hand up his thigh to tell him how much that turned you on?
Hideaway | KSJ. You probably do both, but the majority of the time, Jin is all too happy to sit next to you, like when you’re middle schoolers being told about the dynasty you’re about to inherit, or when you’re college kids sliding into your usual booth at the bar, or when you’re angrily scarfing down food at a restaurant after a stressful morning at work. A king always sits beside his queen.
Idol Hands | KNJ. You end up having dinner together on the night that you meet, and Namjoon makes it a point to come around to your side of the table to join you. He likes being beside you. And it’s a nice contrast to your dynamic with Jungkook.
Kittenfishing | KTH. In the story, you kind of do both, but I always see you side-by-side because you’re neighbors who share a wall. And if you count the dog park and Bang Si-hyuk’s party as public places, then you do seem to prefer to sit next to each other.
Like Butter | MYG. When you get dinner in the story, you sit across from each other, but you technically start off sitting side-by-side at work as he sips his coffee and you discreetly test out a vibrator... Anyway, can’t you just hear him chewing and snickering about something, his deep voice floating into your left ear? Both of you finishing each others sentences even as you focus on your meals separately? Yoongi stealing glances at you to memorize the hex code of your eye shadow or lipstick? 😍
Office Hours | KNJ. In other settings, like the faculty meetings, you sit across from each other, which illustrates the antagonistic nature of your dynamic. When you go to dinner together in Chapter 03, you sit at a square table, sharing a corner, adjacent to each other. When you go to to the speakeasy in Chapter 06, you choose a round table, your two chairs on the same side of the curve. Both are very sweet and soft moments, and I actually like that this mimics how you are in private, like when you sit next to each other in bed as you finish grading papers. (sigh)
Tumblr media
The Ones Who Sit Face-to-Face
A Weekend with Noona | MYG. When you go to Mrs. Ahn’s bakery, you sit across from each other. But I also like that, because you’re Yoongi’s stylist, you need to have a direct line of sight to his face, by either sitting across from him, or standing behind him as he sits in the makeup chair. 
The Cul-de-Sac Cons | JJK. You start off the story kinda facing-off against each other, but it softens into facing the truth about each other and your dynamic, starting with that tasteless meal in the diner when your first job goes south. I think that’s a common theme in the relationship that you two have. The weight of confrontation.
Idol Hands | JJK. Because your relationship starts off in the public eye, much of your positioning has to be staged more directly. He sits across from you during dinner at The Gold Tree, which is where things really start to pick up, and, depending on the ending you choose, he also sits across from you during breakfast at the hotel, when things start to change between you two. It’s a nice contrast to your dynamic with Namjoon.
In the Margins | MYG. Another enemies to lovers story, another face-to-face dynamic! You sit across from each other at lunch when Yoongi decides that he wants to publish his novel with your publishing company, and it sets up this nice moment of him putting his manuscript down in the middle of the table and gifting it to you. Meeting you halfway. Inviting you to do the same.
Matchmaker | JJK. Yet another enemies to lovers story, and this time, you need to sit across from each other at dinner because you are observing him while asking him questions to prepare him for his practice date. It’s a nice contrast against Yoongi sitting beside you, illustrating that Yoongi is on your team, literally on your side, but not who you direct your attention toward in the end.
Tumblr media
Both
Bear with Me | PJM. At dinner, you sit face-to-face, but when you have smoothies with Jungkook, you’re side-by-side. Honestly, a better category for you two lovebirds would be “The Ones Who Are Always Tangled Up In Each Other”.
Bon Voyage Noona | OT7. Easy --- this one’s an OT7, so they’re kind of all around you!
Tumblr media
Mini-Version for The Road to You
For the other OT7 fic that I have, I thought I’d do a quick rundown of Side-to-Side, Face-to-Face, Both, and Neither for each of the boys!
Side-by-Side: Yoongi. Past You and Yoongi grab a meal and sit on the curb next to each other, eating while you talk about writing. Present You and Yoongi sit next to each other at the coffee shop, drinking while you talk about writing, haha. You’re cut from the same cloth.
Face-to-Face: Namjoon, Hobi, and Jungkook. Past Namjoon and You start off by snacking side-by-side in the courtyard of the art museum where you meet, but by the time you’re dating, and when you meet Present Namjoon to re-hash the past, you’re not only on opposite sides of the table, but the issues that you faced. Past Hobi serves you almost every morning at the coffee shop and even sits across from you on the day that you officially introduce yourself, so there’s an element of observation always there, even as you and Present Hobi chat about your history together over paella. Past Jungkook and You sit next to each other in class and are partners when you work, but whenever you eat, you’re across from each other, just like when you fight in the coffee shop later in your college years.
Both: Jimin and Taehyung. These are your earliest relationships, but they’re also the relationships that kinda set everything in motion. They’re also relationships that represent home. So it makes sense that you’re usually next to each other, almost like family.
Neither: Jin. You and Jin don’t actually... eat... a... meal together? Huh. That’s crazy, haha. Well, suffice to say that your relationship is quite rocky, and maybe this is one of the ways that it shows.

any tips for people who are intrested in streaming but dont know where to start?
I have a few, though less about the technical and more about the social aspects that get you an inch off the ground.
One: Promote on the largest platform you have access to. Streamers who get big on twitter or tumblr or youtube or tiktok do it because they were already independently popular on those sites (or in my case, I happen to be friends with people who are independently popular here). Anything can work, especially if you DONT see people posting stream promos there.
Two: The key to getting popular is seeming more popular than you actually are. I was asking my friends to just have my stream open but muted in another tab for the first few months I streamed so new people wouldnt feel awkward being the only person in chat. This will get you off of 0 concurrent viewers, at the very least.
Three: pick a time slot and dont stray far from it.
Four: In your early stages, especially pre-affiliate, feel free to experiment with your games and see what sticks. Play whatever you have or whatever youre interested in, you'll develop a niche in time (such as me and my increasing dependence on challenge run content). Old games are nostalgic, new games are exciting, obscure games are mysterious, and famous games are prestigious! So long as youre having fun you'll probably be fun to watch. Bundles are your friends, as are emulators.
Five: never shut the fuck up. Never. Unless you have someone on cocom with you there is no reason to ever stop talking. I promise youre not annoying, people came to see *you* and even if youre all alone in a chat room with 3 people you know arent actually listening, the fourth who tabs into your stream will most likely stay for at least a little while so long as you keep the one-sided conversation going. Talk about the game, tell stories about your life, talk about ANYTHING. Also BACKGROUND MUSIC-- get a youtube playlist with your favorite video game tracks or whatever and just run it in the background whenever youre not playing a game with bgm. it doesnt need to be loud but it should probably be there.
Six: Anyone who tells you not to get affiliate the moment youre eligible is talking out their ass. Sure ads suck, but you know what doesnt suck? Community features like polls, emotes, raids and channel points. That being said, you should have a team of mods by then.
and finally, and I cant stress this enough, DONT TAG YOUR STREAMS AS LGBT, DISABLED, POC, OR ANY OTHER MARGINALIZED GROUP, you are only going to attract hate raids. Be who you are openly and proudly through the content you stream, but until twitch fixes this situation do not touch the tagging system outside of its relation to your stream content.

I DO NOT OWN THIS GIF
Tumblr media
[You coming over not? I have a big match tonight you know] I sent to Kenny.
I thought I’d never see the day, but Kenny and I were getting along, getting very close and having true feelings for each other rather than just going at it.
[Just give me a few minutes. I’ll be over] Kenny sent back.
I had a championship match tonight and Kenny said he wanted to see me before since he couldn’t escort me out himself.
Since he had to take his time, I patiently waited for him. There were still some things for me to do. I just got out of hair and make-up, my gear still needed to be adjusted, so I just sat in my locker room waiting.
Kenny didn’t take as long as I thought he was going to, quickly turning to my phone when I heard it vibrating consistently.
“You finally coming over?” I asked, holding my phone up to my ear as I was still fixing my boots.
“Sure am!” Kenny said cheerfully, “You ready for the night?”
“Always ready,” I smirked, sitting up straight.
“You always have been,” Kenny cooed, but then there was silence. After a moment, Kenny whispered into the phone, “Hey, give me a second.”
Kenny didn’t hang up, but it sounded as if he put his phone in his pocket, it was muffled, but I heard Matt.
“Kenny, we have an interview and some other stuff to take care of. Where are you going?” Matt questioned.
From the sound of Kenny’s voice, he was remaining calm when he sighed, “You guys realize that I am a champion across three different companies, right? The champion is a very busy man.”
“Yeah, but we already had this planned dude,” Nick groaned, but Kenny didn’t budge, explaining:
“A few minutes delay isn’t going to ruin anything, okay? A few minutes is all I need. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have business to attend to.”
“You know,” Matt said, sounding like a stand-off was ready to happen, “I have heard that phrase before and I’m convinced that it’s a code word of some sorts.”
Kenny scoffed at his comment, groaning, “Where else have you heard that from?”
“Remember when Y/N tried being a bitch again out in the parking lot? Well later that night, we coincidentally ran into her again. She told us that she had business to attend to. Said it just like you did,” Matt pointed out, Nick adding:
“And how strange it was that your phone kept going straight to voicemail that night and she also went up to the floor of your hotel room.”
Kenny was always good at getting around sticky situations, laughing at them at first, “Aren’t the two of you observant!” But then, his voice grew serious when he continued, “Look, you two are just letting mind games get to you. Now, I have business to do. I’m not going to stand here and play into your conspiracies.”
After that, the phone hung up. I was on the same page as Kenny. They sure were nosey and it angered him. I could tell by the tone of his voice.
This week, I got myself a private locker room and no one knew where it was except for Kenny, so I left the door unlocked.
When Kenny entered, he was stressed and I addressed it.
“I heard everything, Kenny,” I informed him.
Kenny had both hands on his hips, still frustrated, groaning, “They are like brothers to me but damn, they need to mind their business!”
Quickly, I went to Kenny, pulling his face towards me so I could look in his eyes, saying, “What they don’t know won’t kill them. They are kind of catching on and hell, even if they figure it out!
They will prove their loyalty and accept your decisions.”
“They just don’t realize how things have changed,” Kenny whispered, “I know they can tell. They just won’t face it.”
“I agree, but right now, we have bigger things to worry about,” I sighed, smiling, “I do appreciate you coming back here to support me.”
“Believe me, I wish I could escort you out there,” Kenny smiled back, looking down at me, “And then bring you back here and get you out of that gear.”
“Hey, my shower is big enough for the two of us,” I chuckled, laughing more when Kenny said:
“First handcuffs, now shower sex? You sure are creative.”
“That’s only the beginning baby,” I cooed, raising up a bit to kiss him, Kenny returning my kiss, putting an even bigger smile on my face.
“But in all seriousness,” Kenny whispered against my lips, “I am proud that you are a fighting champion. I know you’ll kick ass out there.”
“Don’t I always?” I snickered, “Tonight, I’ll even step it up, just for you.”
“I’ll be watching so you better live up to that,” Kenny warned me playfully.
“I always live up to the hype,” I sighed, kissing him one more time.
Kenny stayed in the locker room with me for a bit longer, we even went over some exercises to get me in the zone and I was ready.
I had about seven minutes to get to the guerrilla and Kenny already took off, so I made my way there with my title on my shoulder.
I was laser-focused, confident like always, but on my way to the guerrilla, someone was there to give me “support”.
“Y/N!” Matt smiled, approaching me with Nick right behind him, “There’s our reigning, defending, women’s champion!”
“For once, I agree with you,” I smiled in his face and I could see how it angered them.
“Unlike Matt, I’m not going to play these games anymore,” Nick said sternly, “We know what you’re trying to do to Kenny.”
“Thank you, Nick,” Matt smiled at me, “We know you’re just trying to hurt him. It’s Japan all over again. Not to mention that little fight you keep mentioning .”
Even I couldn’t deny it, My rivalry with Kenny in Japan was intense, but as Kenny said earlier, things were different and I wasn’t going to let Nick and Matt get the better of me.
At first, I just laughed but getting serious when I said, “You two are just delusional. I have no intentions with Kenny. So what I poke some fun at him every now and then. Rivalries just don’t end you know. And that fight? Again, Kenny is the one who needs to tell you. Not me.”
“We know what’s happening,” Matt growled, stepping up to me, “I’ve seen all the signs and you might think we’re stupid, but you are rudely mistaken.”
“Whatever you say, boys,” I sighed, rolling my eyes.
I didn’t have time for their interrogations and bullshit. My title was on the line and I was facing Tay Conti, a very good female wrestler who I could not underestimate.
My match went exactly like how I imagined it would. It was all straight-up wrestling. We showed that it was main event worthy and we tore the house down.
The only thing that kept slowing me down is her constant attacks on my left arm. It all began whenever she rammed me into the steel ring post.
I was truly afraid that I separated my shoulder or something, the moment I fell to the ground, holding my arm, the referee and some medical staff tried tending to me.
Like always, my stubbornness took over. I refused to quit this match, crying through the pain when I got back up and into the ring.
Everyone thought I was crazy, but I still kept going, using my striking and my legs to the best of my abilities.
Towards the end of our match, Tay had me in an armbar on my injured arm and everyone watched in shock whenever I yelled through the pain, picking up her entire body with my bad arm, power slamming her on the mat.
My arm needed a moment. I didn’t even bother to go to cover her for the pin. The ropes assisted me to my feet, Tay getting up at the same time.
We met in the center of the ring and she went to hit me with a kick but I ducked it, running to the ropes, coming back and dodging again but the next time I came back, I hit her with a devastating, jumping knee strike, similar to Kenny’s V-Trigger and I pinned Tay, retaining my title.
The entire crowd were on their feet and cheering me while I sat on the mat, taking my title and holding it close, sitting still while the referee was checking out my arm again, but then we were all confused, looking to the stage when we heard:
“SUPER-KICK PARTYYYYY!”
I literally couldn’t believe it when I stood up, turning around to see Nick and Matt on stage.
“Wow! So impressive! That is one of the best women’s matches I’ve seen!” Matt smiled, Nick following with:
“So much technical wrestling. I loved it!”
“Y/N, you have beaten just about every female on the roster. I appreciate you wanting to be all about the women’s division,” Matt began, “But remember back in Japan when you wrestled in the men’s division?”
“That was crazy times,” Nick smirked devilishly, “And unfortunately for you, Y/N, you left some unfinished business in Japan and now it followed you to AEW.”
I was just in shock. My arm was killing me, I just wrestled my ass off and now they were doing this, live on television!
“You said it yourself, rivalries never really end and ours sure as hell hasn’t ended yet,” Matt growled at me and after that, I had enough, requesting a microphone.
“Are you kidding me? I just wrestled my ass off and you want to come out here, trying to pull up dirty laundry that happened forever ago!” I yelled at them, my anger controlling me when I said,
“I can tell you’re in a fighting mood and I am pretty pissed off! You wanna fight? Get your asses in this ring! I dare you! I’ll kick both of your asses just like I did in Japan!”
Slowly, Nick and Matt walked to the ring and I got into a fighting position, but I knew something was off. They were anticipating something, but after a moment, they rushed into the ring and I didn’t back down whatsoever.
Right, when they got to me, I was ready to swing, but then we all got knocked over. For a moment, the adrenaline in me died and all of the pain from my shoulder hit me hard.
Quickly, I rolled over into the corner, not caring that I was crying, but watching whenever I saw that it was Kenny. He didn’t intend to knock me over, he was protecting me and that’s when I realized what Matt and Nick were doing. They were testing Kenny.
“What the hell are you doing?” Matt yelled at Kenny, standing up and getting in his face.
Kenny delivered that fire right back, forehead to forehead with Matt, yelling back:“What the hell are YOU doing?!”
Everything was just a mess, everyone so confused as to what was happening, Nick yelling to Kenny:
“Tell us the truth, Kenny!”
Quickly, Matt pushed Kenny away, yelling at him, “Tell us now!”
“You want to know the truth?” Kenny yelled, looking back at both of them, his face so red from anger, taking everyone by surprise, which included me when he yelled at the top of his lungs, it echoing through the arena, “I LOVE HER! I ALWAYS HAVE GOT DAMN IT!”
We all just froze my heart about burst through my chest.
“Oh my god,” I whispered, still crying especially when Kenny turned back and saw the condition I was in.
At that moment, Kenny just forgot about Matt and Nick, tending to me instead. I had previous shoulder injures so I was truly concerned about my condition.
“It’s your bad shoulder isn’t it?” Kenny asked quickly and I just nodded my head, crying:
“It hurts so bad.”
“Don’t worry, I’m going to get you taken care of,” Kenny assured, taking my other arm, “You have to get up though.”
Again, I was fighting through the pain, standing up and grabbing my title, still across the ring from Nick and Matt. I still wanted to fight them for the scene they just caused, but Kenny killed that whenever he pointed at them, saying:
“I’ll handle the both of you later.”
Finally, Kenny and I left the ring, taking me back to get the medical attention that I needed. They were checking out my shoulder, multiple tests needed to be done and that scared me.
I was grateful that Kenny didn’t leave my side, but there was a moment that he needed to have whenever we heard outside the door.
“Can someone please tell Kenny to come to talk to us?”
It was Matt.
Kenny rolled his eyes, turning red again because he was still super upset with them but he stood up, giving me a quick kiss, “I’ll be right back.”
He left the door crack and even though they kept their voices low, I could still hear everything.
“So, you love her, huh?” Nick asked, truly curious rather than being a smart ass.
“Have you two ever noticed how in Japan, I’m the one who started the beef with her? All the sly little comments we’d make? How we never took our fights seriously?” Kenny sighed, “Since the day I met her, I’ve wanted her. I just didn’t know how to do it.”
“Kenny, I’ll be the first to say, we’re sorry,” Matt explained, “We just thought that you two legitimately hated each other and when you two got close all of a sudden, we just wanted to have your back. I didn’t want to have to do that, but you just weren’t telling us!”
“Well maybe you should have taken the fact that we were taking things slowly into consideration,” Kenny scoffed, still upset with them.
“You’re right, Kenny,” Nick sighed, “Again, we’re sorry, and just know that we love you, man. If you want to be with Y/N, I’m all for it.”
“Me too,” Matt agreed, nodding his head.
I could see them hugging and it made me feel good. They had brotherhood and I never intended to break that. I just wanted to be with Kenny and it was good to know that he wanted the same with me.
“How’s her shoulder?” Nick asked and Kenny just sighed, his hand covering his face for a moment.
“Not going to lie, I’m worried for her. She had to have surgery on that shoulder before,” Kenny huffed, “They’re making her do a bunch of testing for it.”
“God I feel like shit,” Matt whined, then he just came through the door and he hugged me.
“Dude, my shoulder,” I said quickly, but also laughing as he backed away, mumbling;
“Right, I’m sorry about that.”
“Y/N, we owe you a long overdue apology. What we did tonight was wrong and irresponsible,” Nick admitted to me, “We shouldn’t have tried to invade your privacy.”
“I understand why you did,” I sighed, poking some fun at them when I added, “Besides, fucking with you guys is always a fun time.”
We all shared a good laugh, Nick giving me a soft hug too.
“Also, just know, that match was fucking awesome,” Matt smirked at me, “I wasn’t lying about that. You’re an amazing champion Y/N.”
“Thanks. Hopefully, I don’t have to give it up,” I sighed, looking down at my shoulder.
“Everything will be just fine,” Kenny smiled at me, trying to raise my spirits, and then finally, we had a true, one on one session whenever Matt said:
“I hope you feel better, Y/N. Nick, let’s go. They need alone time.”
Nick and Matt finally went off and closed the door behind them and once we were alone, Kenny was still standing in front of me while I was sitting.
Slowly I looked up into his eyes, getting emotional whenever I asked shyly, “You’ve always loved me, Kenny?”
With a bright smile, Kenny nodded his head and just to brighten our moods when I said:
“I fucking knew it!”
We both laughed together, Kenny hugging me and being gentle and when his head came close to me, I whispered, “I’ve always loved you too, Kenny.”
“I’m serious, Y/N. I love you. I just never knew how to express it. Then next thing I knew, we were the biggest rivals in Japan,” Kenny exhaled.
“That doesn’t matter anymore. We have each other now and I’m serious when I tell you, I love you,” I whispered, my arm wrapping around his neck.
Kenny gave a little bit of a squeeze and when he looked back up at me, his eyes looked teary but a gorgeous smile was on his face, his head falling to kiss me softly, whispering against my lips,
“No more hiding it. You’re mine and that’s never going to change.”
I quickly smiled against our kiss, kissing a bit harder, whispering back, “Just how I want it to be.”
