Lando calling his wife "lovie" got me 🥹🥹🥹
And just the image of him cooing about a milk drunk baby is enough to send my ovaries into combustion!
Would you maybe write a little bit more about it, like maybe Lando posting or sending his family pictures of his milk drunk babies because he thinks it is the cutest/funniest thing?
Note: you and me both, anon!
"Tell me this isn't the cutest, squishiest face you have ever seen!", Lando groaned softly as he admired your babygirl while he walked in the Silverstone paddock, "I have to admit that's a pretty cute baby", Ted said into his microphone.
"Pretty cute? Tilly is the cutest", Lando stated, adjusting the hat on her head to shield her face from the sunshine that graced his home race weekend, "she has her tummy full and she was out like a light, nothing can bother her, she's in her own little world", Lando smiled, delighting everyone who saw the infections of the new father and his babygirl.
"It's extra special, no? Your home race, your family is here - the youngest Norris is here too - and a pole position that by the looks of it could get you a home race win", Ted wondered.
"Yes, it definitely is, we're not taking anything for granted until we race, obviously, but the spirits are definitely high", he smiled, kissing Matilda's cheek as she made a little noise, "I had another question to ask you but this little one made it fly out of my brain, actually", Ted chuckled as he shook his head.
"She usually has that effect on people, you can't really pay attention to anything else", Lando smiled proudly.
.
"Little man is down, was absolutely milk drunk and went out like a light", you said as Lando stepped out of the en suite bathroom, crawling up to you in bed and stroking the baby's soft cheeks, "He's so sleepy, look at him", you cooed, "he fell asleep with my nipple still in his mouth, I barely got a burp out of him before he was knocked right out", you smiled.
"We make really cute kids, don't we, lovie?", Lando said, resting his head on your chest and facing Fraser, and from your point of view, it was clear this baby would become a Lando clone soon enough.
"So far, they all look the most like you, so you're really just tooting your own horn", you scoffed playfully, "these cute cheeks and pouty lips, lovie? They're all you", Lando charmed, making you blush.
.
"Can you give her the bottle, please?", you asked Lando, "I need to make sure Matilda is not doodling instead of doing her homework", you kissed Lando's lips and baby Charlotte's cheek.
"Let's warm this up for you, babygirl", Lando said as he put the milk in the bottle and popped it in the warmer, "you're hungry, aren't you? And fighting sleep so I've heard - you gave mummy a full on afternoon", he giggled, pulling funny faces as she giggled at her father's antics.
"Off we go then, open up - there we go, Lottie", he smiled as she suckled, finally get her tummy full as he walked around bouncing her, "hopefully you'll sleep because you really need it, and that way you can also give mummy a little bit of a rest, just so enough me and her can have a cuddle, you know?", he playfully tsked, "you've been stealing all of my cuddles", he giggled as he looked at her precious face. Life had been generous enough with him - he had the woman of his dreams, a career he loved and their three little ones. Life was good.
After burping Charlotte, Lando rocked her to sleep, which didn't prove to be very hard as she was milkdrunk as ever, her little mouth opened as she rested on his chest.
"Tilly is doing fine and Fraser is happily playing with his toys", you said as you sat down on the sofa next to your husband, your daughter happily sleeping on his chest, "take a picture of this cute face and send it to the groupchat, please", Lando whispered as he gave you his phone so you could dot it.
Lando: Look at this cutie 🥰
Flo: Look at her chubby cheeks, I can't!
Cisca: She looks so out-of-it-milkdrunk, I bet she's having a good nap!
Lovie: Seeing her like this almost makes it look like she wasn't wide awake the whole afternoon - she never closed those big eyes, she was always staring at me!
Adam: look at our little girl 😍
"You're so loved, babygirl", you said, brushing the hairs on her head, cuddling closer to your husband.
"Finally I am the one getting a cuddle from mummy", Lando cheered, kissing your lips, "jealous much, handsome?", you teased, "just wanted a cuddle from you, woman! This one has hogged your boobs from me - I have to take what I can get!".
(Thank you for sending this in ✨️)

you get to wear a mask | Tom Cruise [fluff]
my masterlist
Summary : As a celebrity, it's nearly impossible to go and to do normal life activities in public. So, as his girlfriend, you offer Tom a solution.
Pairing : Tom Cruise x female!businesswoman!reader
A/N : it's my first fluff y'all🥹, i hope you like it as much i love writing it. this makes me giggle so much as i imagine it. I wanna know what you think abt this one, talk to me, babes!
WC : 3157
Tumblr media
"Babe! I'm gonna go run some errands, do you want something specifically?" You shout as you gather your things before you head out the door.
Tom walks downstairs. He just had finished making a phone call with none other than his creative partner, Christopher McQuarrie. Ever since he landed in Los Angeles this morning, he's been occupied with work phone calls.
"Where are you going?" He asks.
Lifting your head up you see your boyfriend walking towards you, he leans against the doorway of your kitchen and put his hands inside his trousers pocket.
"Grocery, we literally have nothing in here,"
You're a thriving businesswoman. A CEO of an e-commerce fashion startup. You constantly hopping between big cities for work, New York, Los Angeles, London, and Paris, that's why you decided you expand your assets and buying apartments in each city so that you don't waste your money for expensive hotel expenses. Hence, why you don't have anything in your LA home since you haven't lived here for the past few months.
Tom pouts, "I just finished my calls, and now you wanna leave me,"
You and Tom have somewhat of a long distance relationship. With him caught up and busy filming and you running your business. It took extra effort to spend time together with your man. Though, two of you are keeping one important rule, never spend apart for 2 weeks. And for so long you've been living to that.
You smile as Tom gives you puppy dog eyes. "Why? You wanna come with me?" You smirk.
Tom smiles, "If it means i get to spend more time with you, yes," Tom steps forward and pulling you closer by your hips, "But, you know... i don't think whole food is Tom Cruise friendly,"
You chuckle as Tom place a sweet kiss on your cheek, "i missed you so much, baby,"
Suddenly, the brightest ideas come to your mind.
"I have an idea..." You smile and wiggle your brows.
Tom crook his head as he sees that mischievous grin on your face. For as he thought, you might be plotting something that beyonds the world's expectations.
"This is not what i had in mind when you said you have an idea," Tom protests as you sit down in front of him. You turn your makeup bag upside down, and all of your makeup products rain to the floor.
"You get to wear a mask, Ethan, you love when you got to wear a mask, don't you,"
Tom sighs "Never i thought someone would use that line to turn against me,"
"Tommy, you love when i throws you movies references at you,"
Tom chuckles and shakes his head. You take your phone and turn on the camera. You start recording and put your phone on the coffee table, rest it to a coffee mug so it stands still perfectly.
"What are you doing? Why are you taping this?" Tom asks.
"So we can have memory to look back to," You said as you prop the camera.
"Nonono, NO! you're not recording this," Tom reaches to your phone.
"Thomas!" You slap his and before it can reach your phone.
Witnessing the look you have on your face and the shift in your tone, Tom feels like he just seen your inner mother gothel. He sighs and just gives in.
"You're not gonna post that, though,"
"Of course i won't! It'll be our sweet secret memory, yep?" You smile at him, and Tom only smiles back sarcastically.
"Oh, come on, Thomas! It's not like you haven't got your makeup done for carpets or films anyway,"
You take a few pumps of your foundation to the back of your hand. Dotting the product on several spots of his face, then you start spreading it evenly using your brush.
"Yeah? Well, my makeup artist doesn't have that devilish-mischievous grin on their faces,"
"Baby... i need you to trust me," you said seriously.
Tom grunts and stops protesting.
"This is definitely the wrong shade... you're much tanner than me,"
"Oh, great," He rolls his eyes.
You chuckle, "How do you usually have your makeup on?" You ask.
Taking your fenty cream contour, you swipe them on the back of your hand and mix it with the foundation to create darker shade. Et Voila, the perfect match to his skin.
"Just- what do you call it? concealer?... maybe a little foundation if needed, like if i haven't gotten enough sleep,"
"Yeah? You never have like a full face of makeup? Character makeup?" You ask again as you still apply foundation all over his skin.
"Um... not really, maybe for vanilla sky,"
"Oh yeah! i remember that... that was a scary face though, tell me bout it,"
Tom starts to tell the story about the David Aames makeup he had on Vanila Sky. Well, as you thought, work does stop him from protesting and whining like an annoyed little boy.
You giggle after finishing spreading the foundation and concealer evenly all over his face. His skin looks so good, better than yours even. He has such perfect, well taken care of skin.
You take your face pallette next.
"What's that?" Tom asks.
"My fenty contour and highlight stick, it's to redefine the shadows and highlights of your face, cause after i finish applying foundation, your face now is all in one flat tone." You said as you apply the bronzer and contour to his cheek and forehead.
Tom thinks for a moment, "Why are you teaching me this stuff as if I'm gonna need to do makeup to myself?"
You laugh. "Well, baby, you never know... maybe someday your makeup artist catches a cold before red carpet," Tom chuckles and shakes his head.
You continue to apply contour and highlighter on his face. After setting it all with a translucent powder and put some blush on his cheeks, Tom reopens his eyes with you grinning widely.
"You look different," you giggle.
Tom takes a peek on your phone screen to look at what his face looks like.
"Babe, you can't look yet!" You stop him from peeking, but he managed to get a glimpse of what he looks like.
"Oh god! You supposed to make me look unrecognizable, not girly!"
"Your skin looks beautiful tho, you have such nice skin,"
Tom rolls his eyes and grunts.
"Why do i agree to this," Tom mutters.
"Well, darling, you do this because you lo—" Your words stop at the tip of your tongue when you realize the L word hasn't come out yet. None of you have said the L word you've only been with him for a few months.
Tom realizes how your expression drops. He knows what you were about to say. The quick expression shifts on your face from cheerful to a saddened look, sends rushes of pain inside his veins.
"...I mean... You'd do this because you're an adrenaline junkie... right? You like challenging yourself. But i guess you don't have to... i-if you don't really want to," you look down at the scattering makeup products on the floor.
That makes his heart break.
These past few months, Tom has been feeling that bubbling-odd feeling inside him building. He knows he's hooked in deeply. He can't stop thinking of you. You're constantly on his mind, and he admires you deeply. He just hasn't got enough balls to say the word to your face. He's afraid that he's moving too fast.
Tom takes your hand, which is holding a blush brush.
"Come on, need more blush," he smiles.
Beat drops. Even that got your heart swims in wonders. Giggling again, you apply a little more blush to his face, and soon, the apples of his cheek look like a blushing porcelain doll.
Next step, eyebrows. You always love his thick eyebrows. You think it's a statement of him. You take your brow gel, and you brush his brow upwards, and diagonally, you try your best to make them look good.
"I always wanted to do your brows... but it's kinda hard though," you mutter. "Hmm... yeah they look good enough,"
And to make you happy, of course he gives in and lets you do everything to his face. Tom looks at you deeply. Those eyes that he's been giving you for the past 5 minutes starts to make your heart beats faster and your palm sweating. Those eyes are the reason you're here. Everytime Tom looks at you like this, you swear you feel like you've been sent to heaven.
"Stop that!" You chuckle and cover his eyes. He knows you get butterflies when he gives you those eyes and he adores that you try to pretend as if you're not flustered.
Tom chuckles, "I'm not doing anything, darling,"
"Shut up, help hold me this, Tom," you said, handing him an open eyeshadow palette.
"Close your eyes for me, sweet," you kindly ask.
Tom follows all that you said. You begin applying eyeshadow to his eyelids. Deciding to go for an angel eyes look to complement those beautiful emerald eyes.
"Ow! What is that?" Tom asks, look you back in the eyes.
"Just powder," you apply the other eye the same color of eyeshadow too.
"OW! It's like burning," Tom narrows his eyes.
"No, it's not!" You grin
"Right where you just put it, it's burning... seriously!"
You stop applying them and sit back straight. Looking at his eyelids, you try to find if something is wrong, if there's any redness or anything.
"Is it still?" You ask.
"Yes!" Tom grins
You chuckle nervously, "What if you're allergic?"
Just when you start to think he's being serious, you can see shift in his eyes. "What if?!"
"Don't lie to me! I can tell when you're acting!"
"I'm serious!" Tom exclaims, but the grin still stays on his face.
You apply more to his crease.
"Arrghhh," Tom yelps.
"Tommy, stop it! I can smell you lying!" You slap his shoulder, and Tom laughs.
You take your favorite maybelline mascara and your magical shu uemura eyelash curler.
"Wait, what's that? That looks dangerous!" Tom holds your hand down.
"Just an eyelash curler,"
"Nnonono,... don't bringing that thing near my eyes," Tom pushes away your hand.
"Tom,... tommy, relax, just trust me, Baby, come on," you try to stop him from pushing your hand away.
And again, he gives in.
"Look down," you told him to do, adorably, Tom misunderstood and buck his head down.
Pulling his head back straight, you chuckle, "No, baby, you look down with your eyes not with your head,"
"Don't poke my eyes,"
"I won't... i need you to relax, okay?" Tom nods,
"Aaahh..." Tom squeals as you clamp those beautiful long lashes.
You can't stop laughing to your sweet boyfriend's funny reaction. The fact that you have an older boyfriend, a grown man, more than that, your boyfriend is the freaking Tom Cruise. The guy who did daring stunts as his way to pay the check. Now you got him squealing like a big baby. Thank God you tape this moment.
"Okay, okay... I'm done," you said,
Tom sighs hard, "Jesus Christ! it was scarier than hanging on the side of a plane!"
You feel like your stomach starts to get hurt from all the non-stop laughter. This is the best thing that ever happened in your life. Tom Cruise, finally admitting to be scared of something.
"Okay, baby, Mascara, now this will be tricky, just trust me on this one, keep your eyes down and still, ready?" You ask.
"Wait, is that like waterproof? Can it come off?" Tom stops you.
"No, it'll come off,"
"How do i get it off?" He asks.
"You just rub it,"
Tom takes a long deep breath, "Okay, go" he said.
You start applying a good amount of mascara to his lashes. Rolling the wand on his lashes.
"I don't like it..." Tom whines like a big baby sissy.
You can't help but to laugh out loud.
"Aaaahh..., i don't like it," Tom cries again as you put mascara on to his other eye.
Feels like you have a full abs workout. Even you're tearing up from laughing too much.
Now, Tom looks gorgeous, jeez, he looks like a freaking poster model. His eyelashes are snatched and thick long. The sparkly pink and bronze eyeshadows makes his green eyes pop even brighter. Guess you were right, you always thought he'd be pretty too as a girl just as much as he is as a man. He has such a good genes.
You giggle, "you look so pretty, Tommy!" you smile.
"I'm gonna have to contour your nose though. You have such a manly nose, babe," you said as you picked up your go-to fenty contour stick again.
"Um... yeah?! because I'm a man??... I have a freaking annaconda under my pants,"
You gasp, eyes widen in shock, "TOMMY!" You slap his shoulder.
Tom laughs upon watching how your cheek burns in red cherry color. Tom loves to tease you and catch you off guard like that, making you flustered and burn in red.
"Can't believe you said that," you apply the contour again on his nose.
"Well, you like it, don't you?" Tom chuckles.
"I meant you have such a distinct nose! That's such a Tom Cruise nose,"
You blend the contour on his nose. Trying to make it look somewhat different than his famous nose. Tom can't stop grinning widely at you.
As you focus on making his nose look different, Tom looks at you deeply with that look again. The corner of his lips slightly curls up, his tender gaze glued still on you. His hands are on your thighs, softly caressing your smooth skin with his thumb. You feel butterflies fluttering inside of you again.
You giggle, "Can you stop looking at me with those eyes!" You cover his eyes with your hand again,
"What eyes?" Tom smiles wider, he holds your hand down and leans in to place a kiss on your cheek.
"Tom..." You giggle.
"Do i make you nervous or something, Miss Makeup Artist?"
You giggle as Tom sends attacks of sweet kisses on your cheek and neck.
"Tommy, come on, you're not done yet,"
Tom chuckles and sit back straight again. You steal a kiss before you put a nude pink colored lipstick on that lips. Then, you're all done with his makeup.
"There you go... oohhh look at you girl, you look so beautiful!!" You giggle.
Tom looks over at your phone screen. His jaw hangs wide open when he finds the result of your work on his face.
"Oh my lord!" Tom exclaims in a southern accent, which earning you to laugh even louder.
"Darling, what did you do to me?! I look like my sisters!"
You're rolling all over the floor. Bursting in loud laughter. Your stomach hurt and you can't stop some tears to spill out.
"Oh wait, i forgot one thing!" You take your setting spray and spray it to his face.
"What- does it make it not wash off?!" Tom asks.
You grin widely and nod, "Yeah,"
His jaw hangs and eyes widen, "Are you serious?!" Tom crooks his head to the side.
You chuckle, "Yeah... it won't wash off for 6 hours," You lie.
"DARLING!" Tom tickles your waist.
You laugh and hold down his hands. You hand Tom a mirror. He looks at his face closer with wide eyes. Scanning the details of artwork on his face. His eyes nearly bulges out off his head.
"SWEET JESUS! My eyes are scaring me!... Look at my lashes, they grew 2 inches more!"
You for sure can not feel your stomach. Your cheek burns from laughing too much. Feels like the muscles there have their own workouts.
Afterwards, you told Tom to change his clothes with your pink baggy hoodie. Your big hoodie still fits him like a normal-well-fitted hoodie, though this one is better  than his previous outfits that hug his body tightly, showing all of his muscles. You also insist Tom to put on your Jessica Rabbit's wig that you have, and you once use them for a Halloween party.
Later that day, You managed to take Tom Cruise grocery shopping in downtown Los Angeles without one person recognizing him. It was a mission accomplished. Well, some of the people there give him a weird look though.
Before you went to bed, you sent McQ the selfie of you and Tammy (you said to McQ Tammy was your new friend), and he too can not tell who's next to you at first! Took McQ a couple of minutes and a closer look before he texted back, "THAT'S TOM?! YO WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Tom comes out from the bathroom. "Honey! You send McQ the pictures?!"
"What pictures?" You act dumb as you eat your strawberries that you bought earlier.
"Oh you know what I'm talking about," He narrows his eyes and have his hand on his hips.
You giggle again, "yeah..."
"Y/N Y/LN!"
"Oh come on, Thomas, no need to be dramatic here, sweetie. McQ couldn't recognize you that means i did a great job... you too honey! You just went grocery shopping! I'm proud of you!" You come to him and kiss his cheek.
"That was your best acting too, baby," you tease him again. Gives him a playful wink as you click your tongue.
Tom looks at you still. His shoulders drop slowly as his gaze soften at you.
"Thank God, i love you," he said.
You feel your heart skipped a beat, and the clock stops ticking for a moment. You look back at his eyes with wide eyes. You stop chewing the frozen strawberry inside your mouth.
"What?" You ask with your mouth stuffed full.
"Of course i do, you're my dream come true, I was just afraid to say that too soon, but i can't help it any longer. And I don't expect you to say—"
Tom smiles and sits next to you, "You heard me... i love you, Y/N... i love you so much that i let you do shit to my face,"
Tears start to brimming in your eyes. You feel your heart warming up. Tom runs his fingers through your hair.
"... and I'd let you do it all over again if it means i get to be with you, i love you, darling," he smiles.
Swallowing the strawberry inside your mouth. Tears finally falls to your cheek, to which Tom quickly wipes away. "Y-you... love me?" You ask softly.
"I love you!" You cut him immediately.
Tom freezes for a moment before he smiles, "What?" He asks.
You smile, "I know i said to take this slow, but... but i love you,... Gosh, i love you so much, Tom,"
Tom smiles, wraps his hands around you, and brings you forward for a kiss.

“I just had it!” Seungcheol growled through gritted teeth as he threw the cushion from the sofa to the floor alongside the drawers he had pulled out from the cabinet. He was sure he just had your favourite plushie in his hand. You had trusted him in washing your plushie after you had accidentally spilled some juice onto it and now here he was, tearing his place apart trying to find it. He cursed under his breath each time he looked at a potential hiding spot, only to be met with nothing.
Eventually, after still not being able to locate your precious plushie, Seungcheol sat down on the sofa and let out a sigh as he rubbed his hand over his face. How would he tell you? He didn’t have time to order a new one and even if he did, he couldn’t just leave you on your own without telling you where he was heading to. The image of you crying and pouting brought a slight pain to his chest, and he hung his head in shame, his hands tugging at his hair in annoyance.
“Daddy…?” A small voice pulled him out of his pity party, and he looked up at you. You had insisted on washing yourself up and you stood in the doorway all dressed up in your favourite pyjamas. Your hair was still slightly damp from your shower and your face looked shiny and clean. Seungcheol can’t help the small smile that grows as he looked at your confused face and he held his hand out to beckon you over. Once you waddled over to him, he took your hands, giving them a gentle squeeze. He let out a nervous sigh and his smile soon turned back into his infamous pout.
“Baby… I am so, so sorry… I lost your plushie. I had them in my hand and put them down for a second and it’s almost like they got up and walked away because now I can’t find them. I promise you I will keep looking and if I can’t find them at all then daddy will buy you as many plushies as you want just to make it up to you.” He rambled and he finished with a sigh. “I’m sorry for being a bad daddy.” He added. You copied your daddy’s pout and knocked his hands away before throwing yourself at him in a tight hug. Cheol can feel one hand start to play with his hair whilst the other rubbed down his back, you had clearly picked this up from when he comforted you.
“It otay daddy, you not bad.” You said softly, nuzzling your face into his cheek.
“But princess… I lost your favourite plushie.” Cheol pouted more.
“You didn’t mean to ‘nd I lose stuff sometimes, but you don’t get mad.” You said, pulling away from the hug and shrugging your shoulders. Cheol can’t help but smile at your little shrug and he pulled you back into his arms, planting sweet kisses to your cheek.
“I really have the best baby in the world huh?” He asked. You let out a giggle and planted a loud kiss onto his cheek before wiggling out of his arm. Seungcheol watched as you skipped out into the kitchen. He watched you skip off and his smile grew. Sometimes, he really couldn’t believe how lucky he was. He had been panicking so much, thinking you’d be mad or upset with him but was pleasantly surprised at your reaction.
Soft giggles pulled him out of his thoughts, and he tilted his head in confusion. He got up and leaned against the doorway.
“What’s so funny princess?” He asked, crossing his arms over his chest. You look up and point into the fridge.
“(Plushie Name) is in the fridge!” You said before shrieking with laughter. Cheol’s eyes widened at that but he couldn’t help but laugh along with you.

I coined the term Post Fic Clarity™️ with my friend group and I feel I can share it here
So we all know about "post nut clarity" and how men supposedly have different feelings about things and/or people after... Finishing; but in the moment, they're ALL about it for the sake of the euphoric feeling that comes right before... The end, y'know.
ANYWAY, you get it. Beer goggles come off. Nutting essentially sobers you up. And so, Post Fic Clarity™️ is the equivalent that I just so happened to develop while in the midst of reading a very romance-centered, smut-heavy fic while simultaneously getting back on speaking terms with a situationship from my high school days
For context ✨
This was a genuine situationship. Not what people these days define as a "situationship" which is usually actually, truly just a multiple-year long romantic relationship that they don't have the internal security to define in proper terms. That's besides the point. My relationship with this man for multiple years was toxic. Strung along for a long time, sat through various relationships for the sake of waiting for "my turn," allowed him to treat me VERY shittily, gave so much for little in return, supported him through rough patches in his life and was a rock he could lean on until I finally said "enough's enough" and stopped answering his midnight phone calls to go get high with him.
Cut him off. Cold turkey.
UNTIL, fast forward months/years later, something happened while I was very conveniently reading this wonderful xreader fanfic. Beautifully written. The dynamic between reader and the ML was SOOOOO good.
While reading, the real life man, whom I had cut off a long time ago and resigned myself to never speaking to again, reached out to me saying: he was sober, had gone go rehab, had "found God again," and he wanted to apologize for all those years he took my place in his life for granted.
Now, buddy, I had some nice 🩷 rose colored lenses 🩷 on from the ML of the fic treating reader so kindlyyyyyy. Him ravishing reader and calling her pet names and treating her like she hung the very moon in the sky. It had me believing this REAL LIFE MAN's shit was legit, and boooooooyyyyy was I eating it the FUCK UP.
We end up talking. Setting up a day to meet and catch up. I'm low-key kicking my feet and giggling. And BLESS my friends, I was so excited telling them ALL about it. They were so supportive while internally being like
Tumblr media
SO supportive.
All while I was set to meet up with this man again who had been NOTHING but bad news since I met him.
And THEN!!!!!
And then.... I finished the fic. (Or at least as much as was available of it at the time. I was waiting on the next update.)
And as time went on after the fact, inching closer to the date this guy and I were meant to meet up..... The Fic Feelings started to wear off... And it was suddenly dawning on me that I wanted nothing to do with this man 😭😭😭😭😭
The feelings I was feeling of hope and attraction and excitement suddenly melted into DREAD that I had to see him in person. I was NOT looking forward to it as I started to realize that I was PROJECTING feelings I was feeling for a FICTIONAL CHARACTER ONTO A REAL LIFE MAN. But as SOON as I stopped reading the fic the feelings STOPPED.
POST FIC CLARITY ™️
Anyway, he cancelled on me and it was the biggest relief of my life lol
My friends tore into him in the GC as soon as I admitted that I didn't feel the way I thought I felt. They were straight up like "thank GOD." They're so good to me 🥹
So yeah, Post Fic Clarity™️
BIG TAKEAWAY: we can regret our choices after euphoric feelings too, my friends. Ya don't gotta have a dick
Side note: the fic was Rough Day. "Sweet girl" did something to my psyche. I'm so glad you hadn't updated yet, nodroids
