Masterlist 2
Lando Norris:
It’s Your Birthday. Of Course, I’m Here
It’s Lando’s birthday and Y/n can’t make it. Or so he thinks.
A Sign Of My Love
In which Lando chooses the most obvious way to declare his love for his best friend and she is the only one who doesn’t get it.
All He Needed Was Her
Following the Vegas ‘23 crash, Y/n and Adam find Lando in his hospital bed, yearning for the comfort of his girlfriend’s touch.
A Second Chance
Secrets are a hard thing to live with, they always come out in the end. When it comes to Y/n and Lando, their loved ones struggle to understand what occurred between the two when both of them refuse to discuss it. What happened that night that warranted two people so in love to separate? What triggered Lando to become so violent, so hostile? Why is there a lone engagement ring lingering in Lando’s apartment when it’s meant to rest on Y/n’s finger? What’s happened?
You Were Never What I Wanted, Pt. 2
Lando and Y/n have never liked each other and it’s only the distaste the world has for them when McLaren forces them to “put on a show for the public”. At first, a few hand holds and light, quick kisses seem to be tolerable, yet feather light touches turn into longing stares and, suddenly, they’re falling in love. Although, hatred is a powerful emotion. Can love really trump it?
Ski Trips and Smiles
A proposal on a snowy ski trip.
Showing You My Love
McLaren’s forced Lando into a PR stunt of a relationship and his girlfriend, Y/n, back into hiding just when she was ready to go public.
One-Sided Fake Dating Pt. 2
When Y/n has continuously been used for the image that has pristinely been constructed for her and the connections she has through relation to her parents, she has cultivated a dark image on the world, especially on love. However, when Lando comes into her life and shows her what it’s like to be wanted for who you are and not what you can provide, she begins to open up and she begins to explore what it’s like to be loved and to love. Although, nothing is permanent and what happens when the man she had thought to be better than everyone who had previously screwed her over turns out to be worse?
Love You the Way I Do
When Y/n starts to pull back, Lando knows exactly what to do.
When?
Apparently, to Lando, it is not a question of if he will marry Y/n, it is when.
Safe With Me, Love
When a man at a club makes Y/n uncomfortable, touching her, grabbing her, Lando’s the first to stop it.
The First Time
In the midst of the dirtiest act, Lando’s loose lips stall his impending orgasm.
Let Me Be Happy. Don’t Be Mean.
Y/n is not experienced in the realm of dating. For years, she has convinced herself that no man sees her as lovable. So, when a guy steps into the picture who checks off all the boxes, making her feel secure in his feelings towards her, she’s elated. However, when she goes to share in the excitement with her best friend, he ruins it all, along with it her happiness, by uttering three small words.
My Coat, Your Coat
Y/n is freezing. Lando is her boyfriend. There’s only one remedy.
Whatcha Readin’?
It was a good story, that was her only argument.
Look How Amazing You Are
After Lando’s disastrous qualifying in Qatar and redeeming podium just hours later, Y/n is there to remind Lando of where his worth truly lies.
Sparkling Eyes
When Y/n is distracted, Lando usually takes the opportunity to admire her. Although, this time, he has an audience.
She Calls Me Daddy Too
When Y/n and Lando are having dinner at her house with her parents, Y/n asks her father to pass the salt. Too bad she didn’t specify which one she was referring to.
His
When a fun pool party turns into a hurtful disaster, the only good thing to come from it is two confessions.
I’ve Got You
In the midst of the FIA determining whether his lap times will be deleted, Y/n finds her boyfriend sitting in front of multiple cameras, but that doesn’t matter, he’s upset and she’s got him.
Lala
When Y/n meets Lando’s family for the first time, Lando warns her about his niece who glues to his side whenever he’s around. What she isn’t expecting, however, is the heart melting nicknames he has been given. It prompts some interesting confessions.
My Name
Y/n and Lando have a painful past together. When they go their separate ways and are left to pick up the pieces, Lando realizes he can no longer hear the woman he loved’s name without feeling deeply ashamed.
We Can Be Kids For Right Now
When her week has tried to suffocate her, Lando turns up at her door and forces her to remember just how worthy she truly is.
Wrong Number, Right Person
A wrong number leads Lando right to Y/n, but even the beautiful love they find together struggles to stand a chance against Lando’s lie of identity.
Oscar Piastri:
We Heard You. (Smut Warning)
One way to shock the drivers? Have sex with your girlfriend one room over.
British v. American
In which Oscar tries to teach his girlfriend how to drive in England. The only catch? She’s never driven on the other side of the road. Oh, and she’s never driven anywhere else except for California.
Don’t Worry Everyone. I’m Alive.
The fans love her, so when they hear their favorite driver, her boyfriend, killed her, they aren’t happy.
Bend Over
In which Oscar acts like a teenage boy.
Sleeping Buddies or Dating?
Oscar and Y/n love to sleep next to each other. They don’t love each other. That’s it.
Storms
Where Y/n hates thunder storms and Oscar’s the only person who can calm her down.
One Lucky Man
After care with OP
Let’s Have A Baby, Baby
There is nothing Oscar wants more than for Y/n to get pregnant with his kid, and everyone knows it.
When’s It My Turn
When Oscar can’t find Y/n and realizes she’s off with Logan, he gets possessive over how much time his girlfriend has to give.
Chuck a Uey
Blurb when Non-Australian!Reader misses a turn and Oscar tells her to “chuck a uey”. Long story short, she has absolutely no clue what that means.
Oscar’s Car (Smut Warning)
A fun time in the back of his car turns to be the most flustered and regretful the couple has ever been when a man recognizes the boy’s car and begins to take a video.
To Be Loved Is To Be Seen
Oscar knows his girlfriend well and it’s obvious to him when she starts breaking down. He’s happy to help or, more specifically, remind her how worth it she is.

Kinktober
Gas, Cash, or Ass
prompts: #27 anal
pairing: adult neteyam x fem!reader
warnings: 18+ minors DNI, nsfw, smut, possessive/dom neteyam, anal. proofread once
this was accidentally posted like a month before because tumblr decided to change the scheduling date and posted it without me knowing and I had to run to delete it. So if you saw it the first round, no you didn't🫠
Tumblr media
"Hi Nete!" you waved as the tall Na'vi came to a halt on his direhorse.
"Hey! What's up? " Neteyam watched as you struggled with the jug and basket in your hands.
"Not much... Just on the way to fill this water jug for Mo'at and then I have to catch some fish for the festival later."
He chuckled, "I don't think you'll be able to carry both at the same time."
"Well, it would have been better if I found a pa'li like you did... but I was in a rush and haven't really perfected my mounting skills yet."
"I suppose you need a small favor then?" He smirked as you nodded.
Neteyam saddled the items in place and helped you up the pa'li.
"Thanks," you looked down as your cheeks blushed a light purple.
"No problem," He gave his pa'li a tap before making way to the river.
~~~~~
"Alright, I hope you enjoyed your ride." Neteyam stopped his pa'li by the riverside and handed you the basket and jug after you got yourself down.
"Thanks... I really appreciate it!" You smiled as you got ready to collect some water. Placing the basket on the floor you turned around only to find Neteyam in front of the river, blocking you.
"Pay up," was all he stated as he looked down on you from his seat.
"What?" You cocked your head in confusion, not sure if you heard him right.
"You heard me. Pay up. Gas, cash, or ass." Neteyam crossed his arms, causing you to stare at him dumbfounded.
"The fuck do you mean gas, cash, or ass?" You furrowed your eyebrows together. "Neteyam your pa'li doesn't even use gas! And you don't even know what cash is. How could you possibly know what that phrase means?"
"It's just like that little sticker thing on the sky people's helicopters. Almost all the guys have it."
"And what, you're a sky person now?" You rolled your eyes at him.
"No, but it seems like a good system so I adopted it."
"Yea whatever, you're not getting any." You tried walking away but Neteyam parked his pa'li in front of you again.
"Nu-uh, you heard me. Gas, cash or ass."
"Are you for real? Am I supposed to get food out of no where and feed your pa'li when it can get food itself?" You put the jug down to cross your arms.
"Well then, cash or ass." He responded nonchalantly.
"But I don't have any cash on me!" You exclaimed in frustration. "Plus, what could you possibly need cash for, huh? There's not much use for it here on pandora. The most you could get is some pricey soft toilet paper at the avatar facility, a lolipop for Tuk, or a cigarette that the military guys are always smoking?" You crossed your arms.
"Well I don't need cash for a cigarette when I could just get one from Grace's drawers. From what I saw, she was always puffing like there's no tomorrow." Neteyam shrugged.
"Na'vi's don't smoke. Plus, Kiri wouldn't let you anywhere near Grace's things in the first place."
"You're right, I don't smoke and there's no use for cash here. So... ass." Neteyam gave you a small smirk. "That or I won't be giving you any more free rides."
"Says the one who's asking to be ridden" you murmur in a low voice.
"What was that?" he cocked his head in question.
"Nothing, nothing." You clarify.
"Well, you heard me. Plus, who's going to help you back to home tree after you finish your fishing. Are you just gonna go on that hour long walk carrying that heavy basket and jug?"
"No..." you let out in a small whisper.
"Then you're gonna have to pay up. That or a long burdensome walk."
"But that's not fair! Na'vi's are supposed to help each other out. Do you expect this form of payment every time I ask you to take me somewhere?!" you let out.
"Umm, yes." Neteyam grinned, knowing you had no choice.
"Screw you! You know what?! Next time I'll just ask Tsrüyem to help me out with my hunt! He's kind and strong, and he certainly won't be asking for any of those favors of yours in return." You huffed away, smirking as you got a glimpse of neteyam's slick smile wiped off his face at the mention of Tsrüyem.
"Wait, wait." He hopped off his pa'li and grabbed your arm, stopping you in your tracks.
"How about just this one time, and I'll take you anywhere you want, whenever you want. Want to go to home tree, I'll take you. To the avatar facility, I'll take you. To the hallelujah mountains, I'll take you. It doesn't matter if it's guiding you there, giving you a free ride on my ikran or on a pa'li. Just once and I'll take you anywhere you want." He pleaded with you, eyes looking directly into yours.
You worked hard to hide the smirk that threatened to grow on your face. Perfect, just what you wanted. Neteyam begging and you making him your personal travel man, taking you anywhere you wanted, whenever you wanted.
"Hmm, I don't know... even in the middle of the night?" You questioned, scrunching your face as you pretended to debate within yourself.
"Yes, even at night! Whenever you want." Neteyam let out as his tail swished left and right excitedly.
"Even if I want to trade with the Tayrangi clan, all the way to the seaside, by the cliffs? You'll have to take me there whenever I want..." You cocked your head to one side.
"Yes, yes! I said whenever and wherever, didn't I?"
"Fine. You have yourself a deal." You made your way towards him and trailed your slim fingers over his torso, running them up and down before stopping at the hem of his loincloth and trailing them back up to his neck.
"On one condition, sweetheart..." he let out in a purr.
"Hmm, and what's that?" your warm lips hovered his ear.
"That I'm the one in charge now." And with that, he turned you over and grabbed your wrists behind you with his one hand while he used the other to push you on a nearby rock, causing you to let out a yelp.
Your face and breasts were squished against the low rock as your legs supported you. He gave you a light smack as your ass stuck up.
"Neteyam, what do you think-"
"Don't worry, I won't go all in at once. I'll let you adjust."
"And who said you could be in charge???" you barely managed out as Neteyam gave your ass a nice squeeze, making you whine.
"A deal's a deal, princess." And with that he pulled your beige shorts down, reveling your pretty plump bottom.
"Aha, so that's why you haven't switched to using a loincloth yet. Hiding that cute little butt of yours huh?" Neteyam bent down to give your ass a wet kiss, letting his tongue run sloppily all over your bottom. You couldn't help but moan as his mouth ran wild and his hand played with the hem of your underwear.
"Oh fuck..." you let out in a breathy voice.
"Enjoying that, ma'syulang? Huh? Let's see what's under these cute little panties of yours." His hands let go of your wrists, allowing you to support yourself on the rock as he ran his fingers along your panties, pulling it down while he inched his crotch near your rear. A light hiss escaped his lips as you reached behind you and began rubbing his length through his loincloth.
"Fuck..." he closed his eyes in bliss as you palmed him. You inched your ass closer to him and moved it up and down, rubbing your bottom on his hard member.
"Looks like someone's excited." You couldn't help but chuckle as you pulled his loincloth down, causing it to drop on the floor. Neteyam reached for the red plant next to him and broke it in half, causing a slippery substance to flow out of it. He applied the liquid on himself and wiped his fingers on it before applying some to your hole as well.
"Be easy okay, it's my first time doing... anal." You looked behind, watching as Neteyam almost fingered you.
"I thought you never had sex with anyone before?" He tilted his head in question.
"That too..." You looked down and he couldn't help but chuckle. You were just too cute, Neteyam couldn't decide if he wanted to break you in half or eat you up.
"Alright, I'll go slow. Let me know if it hurts." You nodded at him and he slowly entered his length inside of you.
"Nghh" you couldn't help but whimper at the odd and painful feeling of your ass being stretched out.
"Fuck" Neteyam groaned as he continued pushing himself in until he bottomed out, getting his full length inside.
He paused for a bit, "You good?"
"Mhm," was all you managed as you got used to the feeling. You squirmed a bit in place and moved your ass a little forward then backwards to signal that you were ready. Neteyam pulled out a bit before slowly pumping himself back in.
Your mouth fell open as his hips kept on moving, slightly hitting your ass as he thrust inside of you.
"I think you can go faster." You let out in a breathy voice.
"You sure?" He stopped, making sure he heard you correctly before continuing.
"Yes." That was all he needed for hips to start moving faster. Neteyam repeatedly pulled out before slamming right back inside of you. His hands held onto the rock as his thrusts grew faster and groans escaped from his lips.
"Shit. Baby, you're so tight." His face fell into the crook of your neck. The both of you were now in doggy position and the sound of the few moans that betrayed him only made your core grow in wetness.
"Ah... ah" you couldn't help but whine as Neteyam's thrusts hit you at an ungodly pace. You turned your face around and were met with his, grabbing his cheek with your hand you pulled him in for a kiss while his cock used your poor asshole.
"Fuck..." Neteyam moaned into your mouth as his hips hit your bottom, filling the air with the sound of skin smacking against each other.
"Oh my god!" you dropped your head down as Neteyam's cock hit your insides, making you weak in the knees.
"Fuck, y/n... I think I'm about to burst." He placed wet kisses all over your neck as his hips started moving frantically and sloppily, a sign that he was about to reach his high.
"Fuck... You *thrust* take *thrust* me *thrust* so *thrust* well!" His head dropped onto you the crook of your neck as you felt his cock twitch inside. Neteyam's teeth sank slightly into your shoulders, earning a light hiss from you as felt his his warm liquid ooze inside of you.
As his high washed over him, Neteyam's movements slowed down until he came to a complete halt. Out of breath, the both of you made eye contact, causing you to let out a small chuckle in unison.
"How's that for payment?" You smirked as he grinned.
"More than enough." Neteyam chuckled as he pulled out, making you groan at the lack of warmth.
"Yeah well, you actually have to pay me back." You grinned as you turned yourself over, laying yourself on your back.
"Yea?" He scoffed. "That was pretty much it, no?"
"You're done when I say so." You pushed Neteyam back, causing him to land on the mossy ground.
"Wait hold on, I still need to recover from the orga-"
Untying your top, you seated yourself on his thighs. "Then get to work limp dick."

Streamer!Chuuya
Bungo Stray Dogs Chuuya Nakahara X Gender Neutral Reader Beginning Note: The stream clips are taken from RussainBadger on YouTube, he's really entertaining. Hint of Rockstar!Chuuya. Word Count: 1096 (Fluff/Little crack)
Of course, he’s very popular by the time he’s 22. All those streams about the new and trending topics eventually led to his popularity. Also the fact that he’s a rockstar, so that helped.
But back when he was 15, he didn’t have that reputation of a singer, and he started his streaming first before moving to a new occupation, but still maintaining the previous one.
He had very few viewers, and he was kinda cringe. But at least you were there! 
(Background information now) You had befriended him in your freshman year of high school along with a guy named Dazai. The three of you had a lot of fun, the two guys always being chaotic and yelling at each other while you tried to calm them down.
Although you kinda got in trouble often, you still continued being stupid. You’ll grow out of it! (Debatable)
Chuuya had at some point expressed his goals of being a streamer or singer, so you and Dazai encouraged him to start with the former, so he did.
Initially, he did gameplays with commentary, but those games were first person shooters or anything online that included fighting in a team against another. Simply put, he raged a lot.
And now in the present, he still does, but it’s gotten a little more expressive since he doesn’t have anyone to scold him about what he’s saying aside from you.
He has a variety of content on his page now, like gameplays (still), just talking, random challenges, IRL streaming, etc. The different forms of entertainment really helps with maintaining his popularity.
Sometimes during streams, he would tell his viewers that he’s gonna do something for a minute until he returns. That minute is used to check on you.
“Are you hungry? We can order take out”, “You alright?”, “We can cuddle and watch a movie after I’m done”, all that is concluded with a kiss on your face.
You do like to mess with him sometimes. Sitting under his desk while he’s gaming and watching him (Just don’t screw his playthrough, he won’t talk to you for a while), going in his chat and sending a message (That shows up highlighted/on screen) about some chore he still has to do, and the like.
Anything harmless because you care about him and he appreciates that.
One time, you were making dinner and he suddenly started screaming loudly. You ensured the kitchen wouldn’t burn before knocking lightly on his door and asking if he was okay.
In response, he comes to the door and opens it a little. “Shit, sorry. Don’t worry, everything’s fine. I’ll make it up to you later,” and he takes your hand, placing a gentle kiss on it, then going back to his chair.
When he uploaded some clips of his stream to his channel on YouTube or the equivalent of the site, you saw that the reason for his scream was because he was arguing with a friend? And the microphone couldn’t capture the high volume so the yell came out quieter than it really was and the mic just cut off.
Another time, he was talking with his friends about something that had happened, and Dazai (who was playing with him, of course) just muted Chuuya’s mic midsentence. After that he went offline, ended the stream, and went to your shared bedroom to cuddle with you, pout on his face. He recounted what happened and you chuckled lightly, embracing him.
Eventually, his old streams from when he was in high school were found (He deleted the clips after saving them on a drive because they were precious memories) and uploaded.
The video included the time where he was playing a multiplayer game (Just Call of Duty, really) and there was an after death mic that allowed the dead player to say something for a second to their killer before respawning. The things he said included, “You’re so mean!”, “Hahah, pendejo!” (asshole in Spanish), “I don’t even wanna play anymore” (In a whiny voice. He said that to you and Dazai, but the mic was on.)
He barked at someone in the game results screen
At the discovery of his old streams, Chuuya panicked before laughing at them. Sure, they were embarrassing, but the comments loved it. He decided to upload the rest of his saved ones so everyone can enjoy them.
Akutagawa, his friend, sometimes play with Chuuya’s group, and when the former plays and does well, Chuuya just yells out “That’s my boy! THAT’S MY BOY! GAHDAM-” and he’s cut off. He’s a huge supporter for Aku and will cheer him on whenever he plays.
After his streams, Chuuya goes to spend time with you. It’s always wholesome and you both would never trade it for anything in the world. You scratch at his scalp while he buries his face in your chest, complaining about Dazai bullying him, or how he was getting dominated by the other players. He always has fun things to tell to you.
What you always love is that while on stream, he seems tough, loud, and in general very entertaining. But when he’s alone with you, no cameras or anything, he’s so soft and cute. Just your cute little boyfriend.
Although he can catch you off guard with his loudness, he always apologizes and makes you forget it. Despite the two of you sharing the fact that you’re both in a relationship, there’s still people prying into his life, wanting to know more. Chuuya did say that it may be uncomfortable, but you still have a large support system consisting of his fans.
A couple of his streams include you. Mainly the IRL ones, but you sometimes join him in his games. The viewers love seeing you two together and always request for more of you.
Sometimes, he practices with his guitar on stream, playing any requests from viewers, and you’re off to the side and out of the camera’s view. If there’s ever a romantic song, he dedicates it to you. A lot of love songs are asked for.
Going back to streams with Aku, he once had a coughing fit while on mic, and someone rigged it to have a voice effect. His coughs were so screwed up, it just sounded like a weird echo into the abyss.
Overall, he’s very fun to be with. You’re blessed to be the one he trusts to show his soft side to. Anyone who’s able to be his friend at least is lucky to have that title (at least in the present time).
End Note: Here are the clips used
youtube
(Edit, here's the Aku inspired one)

Tumblr media
When you see Tommy’s smug face at dinner, you turn on the heel of your boot to leave.
“Where’re you going?” Ellie says, coming up behind you. “You eating outside?”
“Sure, yup, that’s it,” you say, clutching your tray with both hands.
“Cool! Joel, I’m going to eat outside too,” she calls over her shoulder.
You risk a glance to see Joel looking at the two of you, brows wrinkled. He shrugs, and Tommy shakes his head at you.
“Chicken,” he mouthes.
You flip him off and go find a patch of grass to picnic on.
Ellie talks while she eats, food occasionally spraying out of her rapid-fire mouth. You’re more than happy to sit quietly and listen, to hear about the other kids she’s met and the neat things she’s found in her new room.
Your fortune doesn’t last. Tommy comes out of the hall with his hands in his pockets, still smirking.
“Ellie, why don’t you go grab some dessert?” he says as he helps himself to a seat on the ground.
“No thanks,” she says, looking between you.
“It’s pie,” he says.
“No thanks,” she says again. She puts on a very unnerving fake smile made worse by her widened eyes.
“He’s trying to get you to leave—“ you start.
She interrupts. “I know. I wanna hear whatever it is.”
“He’s trying to get you to leave so he can ask me about grownup stuff.”
Her nose crinkles as she catches on. “Ugh,” she groans and hauls herself to her feet before going inside. She takes both of your empty trays with her, and you feel a little sting of pride, however misplaced.
Tumblr media
“So,” Tommy grins. “Nothin’ between you ‘n my brother, huh?”
You groan and bury your face in your hands. “Shut up.”
“Why didn’t you just tell me?”
You look up, and the smugness is gone. “What all did he tell you?”
“Just that y’all had ‘some kinda situation’ back in Boston. And that you stayed over there last night.”
You snort and shake your head. “I guess ‘some kinda situation’ is about right. I didn’t want to tell you I was fuckin’ him for rent.”
His eyes widen. “Shit.”
“Yeah. And for food, before that. Didn’t want you to think I was a whore, I guess.” You’re sitting with your legs crossed, but it doesn’t stop your knee from bouncing as you look anywhere but Tommy.
“Hey, no,” he says, leaning forward. “Look, ain’t nothin’ wrong with surviving however you got to.”
You feel a wretched sting at the corner of your eyes. He was always so goddamn genuine, but it was still hard to accept his words at their value.
He scoots over and grabs your hand. “I mean it. I’m not gonna judge you for that.”
“Thanks,” you whisper, squeezing his hand.
“That why you don’t wanna move into their place?”
“What?”
“I was gonna offer to help move your stuff, but Joel said you told Ellie you were stayin’ put.”
“Do you need me to? To make room for someone?”
“No! No, you can stay. I just figured you’d want the company. And well, Joel said—“
You wait, but he pretends to be distracted by a honey bee.
“Joel said what?”
“Just, he thought you would. Since y’all lived together before, and you talked about it.”
You snort. “We talked about it? Is that what he calls our conversation from this morning?”
“I dunno. It’s Joel. You think he gave me all the details?”
“Fair. Nah, I’d like to stay on my own. Not that anyone asked me to do anything different.”
Tumblr media
It’s then that Maria wanders out with Alé, setting her down to explore. She screws up her little face, ready to rage about being placed on her tummy before she realizes she’s somewhere fun.
Joel and Ellie come out a few moments later to find the three of you watching Alé intently. She’s given up on trying to eat the grass after several unsuccessful attempts. Her little fist would open and close, only to find herself empty-handed when she brought it to her mouth.
Now, however, she’s returned to frustration and is attempting to roll herself onto her back.
It’s not going well, but you’re all watching and encouraging her.
Ellie squats to peer down at her. “You’re like a big potato,” she says.
Joel wipes a hand down his face. “Ellie,” he warns.
“What?”
“Is that any way to talk to your cousin?”
She looks up at him, startled. “Uhh. I don’t know. I’ve never had a cousin before.” She regards Alé again. “You’re a strong potato. You can do it.”
Alé responds with a loud yell as she pushes again and then falls quiet as she finds herself flat on her back looking up at Ellie.
Her little audience cheers and claps, unfortunately startling her. Maria and Tommy shower her in praise, and you stand up, stepping back by Joel.
“You comin’ back to ours?” he says, not looking at you.
“No, not tonight.” You need the space. You’ve grown accustomed to being alone, found peace in it even, and the last two days have been a new kind of exhausting.
But you see the way his lips twitch into a scowl before he schools his face back to neutral.
“Mind walking me home?” you offer.
The tension falls just a fraction from his shoulders. “Course not,” he says. “You gotta lead the way, though.”
Tommy shoots you a look you don’t know how to interpret when you say goodnight.
“Are you going to be gross? Do I need to stay out of the house?” Ellie says far too loudly.
“Nah, you’re safe,” Joel says, shaking his head.
Tumblr media
It’s weird. You hold hands on the walk back. It’s a quiet intimacy you’d never even considered to share with him before.
The warmth of his palm and cradle of his fingers are undeniably nice.
It’s also undeniably awkward. You stand on your porch, stiffly holding hands like he hasn’t been inside you a hundred times over.
You look up at him and appreciate the way the sunset falls across his back.
He brings his free hand up to cup the back of your head and gives you maybe the chastest kiss you’ve ever had. Certainly more than you ever thought him capable of. It kind of hurts your feelings, actually.
“What the hell was that?”
His brow furrows. “What?”
“You kissed me like I’m your grandma!”
He rolls his eyes to high heaven. “I was tryin’ to be respectful.”
“Gross. You know what? That was disrespectful. Kiss me proper, Miller.”
He’s more than happy to oblige, even though it results in the boner he was trying to avoid in the first place. He gets you pressed up against your front door with a handful of ass and your soft moans against his lips.
You break away when you hear a voice down the road and put your hand against his chest, gently pushing him back.
“Guess I should get goin’,” he says. He doesn’t move, though.
You’re all too aware of the way his cock is straining against his jeans and you almost invite him in. How you manage to find the self-control not to, you’ll never know. But it feels important, somehow, that you sleep alone tonight.
“You wanna meet up for breakfast in the morning?”
“Yeah, okay,” he says. His hands rest on your hips as he steals one last kiss. “I’ll see ya then, sweetheart.”
You can’t seem to stomach the idea of watching him walk away, so you go inside.
He waits until he hears the deadbolt click before he heads for home.
Tumblr media
Summer withers, and autumn sees you spending the night together a couple of times a week. Always you at theirs—you never ask him over to your place. It’s a silly line you’ve drawn, and even though you know you’re the one who put it there, you feel bitter on the cold nights alone.
Worse yet, you know you’re only doing it out of stubbornness. You made a big fucking deal out of it, and now you have to stick with it so it doesn’t look like you’re weak. Like you can’t be alone. Like you need him.
And also, no one has fucking asked you to do any differently, so. Whatever.
But it’s not like you don’t know that he wants to.
No, he hasn’t asked, but he may as well have. His clothes are kept to one side of the closet. There are three empty drawers in his dresser.
His books are crammed on the top half of the shelves in the living room, stacked askew in a way you knew had to drive him crazy. The fuck you quilt hangs over the back of the sofa, though it’s more often found wrapped around Ellie.
By the first snowfall, he keeps a toothbrush for you in the medicine cabinet beside his own. There’s a Joel-shaped indent in the left side of the mattress, betraying how the right stays vacant when you’re gone.
The list goes on. The coffee mug. The little tin of vaseline for your chapped lips on the nightstand. All the spaces where nothing sits, waiting.
But he doesn’t ask.
Tumblr media
You haven’t seen Joel for two days. It’s weird. You’re not sure how to feel about it—you’re the one who wanted space, after all. But so far, you’ve at least met at the mess hall for a meal each day.
You’re walking home after working the breakfast shift on the third day when Ellie catches up with you. You’ve seen her around but haven’t wanted to ask after Joel, not wanting her to think you only talked to her for him.
She looks nervous, though. She’s fiddling with her sleeves and won’t look at you, so you come to a stop.
“What’s going on, kiddo?”
“I’m not supposed to tell you.”
“Sure, that’s not suspicious or anything.” You’re trying not to be anxious, but her energy is rubbing off.
“Look, don’t get mad; I only agreed not to because it didn’t seem like a big deal, but now it seems like a big deal—”
“Are you in trouble? Is somebody making you uncomfortable?” A thousand bad scenarios have come to life in your mind, each increasingly ridiculous but horrifying. Maybe that’s why Joel’s missing. Maybe someone laid a hand on Ellie, and he killed them. You hope he did.
“What? No,” her scoff cuts through your panic. “Joel’s sick. He didn’t want you to come by and get sick, so he made me promise not to say anything. But he’s being stupid, and now he can barely walk to the bathroom without hacking up a lu—wait, where are you going?”
“Where do you think I’m going? I’m going to give your idiot father a piece of my mind,” you growl.
She jogs to catch up with you, but her face is red, and she won’t look at you again.
Your brain catches up with your tongue, and you pause. “Hey, I didn’t mean to be weird—”
“It’s fine,” she says. “Let’s go. I wanna watch you yell at him.”
Tumblr media
You don’t. Not right away, at least. He’s asleep when you get there, and honestly, it’s a little upsetting how unwell he looks. It kind of shakes the anger right out of you.
You promise Ellie you’ll wait for her to come home to yell at him.
The idea of climbing into bed with him is extremely tempting. Instead, you start to draw warm water for a bath and tidy up the things left behind in the wake of his deteriorating condition.
It’s not much. Even sick, Joel is relatively neat. Also, it’s pretty obvious that he’s been living in the same sweats and tee for the last three days. You make sure to set a clean outfit and warm socks on the bathroom counter.
With Ellie bringing dinner from the mess later, you don’t have much to do other than brew tea. The kettle’s on when you hear a groan from upstairs.
He’s heaved himself to sitting when you crack the door open.
“Ellie, I told you to stay out. I don’t want to get you sick.” His voice is crackling and raspy.
You push it open, scowling. “Well, you didn’t tell me shit, so.”
The glower is there immediately. “I’m tellin’ you now, then. Get out.”
“Nope. You lost that chance. Now you’re gonna suck it up and get taken care of.” You start stripping the sweaty sheets off his bed while he’s still sitting on it. “Go on and get in the bath.”
“I’m just gonna lay back down for a bit,” he mumbles.
You press the back of your hand against his forehead, followed by your lips. “You’re burning up. Get in the tub.”
But when you stand, his head follows, and you let him rest against your stomach for a minute, carding your hand through his damp hair.
“C’mon,” you urge, tugging at his hand. He lets you lead him into the bathroom, a marker of how sick he really must be.
The kettle hollers while he’s stripping down, and he’s settled once you return with the tea.
“I don’t want any shitty leaf water right now,” he grumps.
“Too bad! It has honey and lemon, and your throat’s seen better days.”
He accepts the cup, but he’s scowling.
“Y’know, you’re not very scary, butt ass naked in a tub with an owl on your mug,” you remark, sitting on the floor and leaning against the cabinet so you can see him.
“You shouldn’t be here. You’re going to get sick. Did Ellie squeal?”
“Joel, I haven’t seen you in three days. Did you think I wasn’t going to get worried?”
His scowl pouts. “I didn’t mean to worry ya.”
“Yeah, well, you did. So. Don’t do that again.” You purse your lips and look at your tea.
“Hey,” he says, water sloshing as he shifts to get a better look at you. “You don’t gotta do… all this,” he says, gesturing to the mug and the bedroom, where you’ve tucked clean sheets onto his mattress.
“I know.”
He’s loathe to admit it, but the bath did help. Worse yet, the tea helped. He feels a little more human in clean clothes, but you still refuse his help cleaning up.
When you’re done, however, you peel back the blanket and crawl into bed with him. So maybe it’s not all bad, he thinks.
At least, until Ellie gets home and you properly scold him.
Tumblr media
He’s asleep more than he’s awake, so you stay. You toss and turn and check on him about a hundred times. If the fever would break, you’d feel better. Except no, you wouldn’t, because that cough that’s settled in his chest scares you far more than you’d like to admit.
You’re not privy to the medical stock in Jackson, but you have a bad feeling that an old man with pneumonia wouldn’t be high on the list for antibiotics.
Not that you think he’d accept them, anyway. He’d be too worried about using up something a kid might need. Or anyone else. He doesn’t seem to realize anyone would put him first.
You and Ellie just might let the town burn for him. (But when you think of Alé, you kind of get it.)
Anyway. When he’s awake, he’s groggy, but you manage to convince him to eat. Never much at once, so you make sure it’s soup or oatmeal. Something soft and packed with nutrients.
On the third day of your stay, he starts to come ‘round the mend. The fever breaks. He starts to stay awake for longer than a couple of hours.
You set him up with what you can and return to your life, but you can’t make yourself go home at night. It’s just because of the damn cough, you tell yourself. You just need to keep an eye on it.
Tumblr media
A couple of nights later, he’s awake when you peel the covers back and slide in behind him, arm curling around his waist. You press a kiss to the nape of his neck, nestling in as he rewards you with a contented hum. He lets you hold him for a minute, basking in the embrace before he rolls onto his back.
You’re clinging to him a little too tight.
“Rough patrol?” He says.
You shake your head where it’s buried in his tee. “Nothin’ we couldn’t handle.”
“Don’t like you havin’ to handle anything,” he grumbles. He knows, both because he’s been told repeatedly and because he’s seen you handle the weapon, that you can protect yourself now.
It doesn’t mean he likes it.
“I was with Tommy. We were fine.” You yawn. It has to be past two now, what with shift change come midnight and then all the cleanup after.
He slips his arm under you so he can tug you closer, rubbing a hand up and down your arm. You press a kiss in the thicket of hair at the center of his chest, and he wonders if he’ll ever get used to this. He hopes not—he doesn’t ever want to take it for granted.
You yawn again, eyes watering, but your exhaustion is betrayed by the way your hips press against his thigh.
“What do you need, darlin’? Want me to lick your pussy until you fall asleep?”
“Can I ride you?” you counteroffer.
He groans, cock twitching to attention. “Of course, pretty girl.”
He helps you straddle him and reaches to peel the old t-shirt off your body so he can admire your tits in the moonlight. And the way your face goes soft when you see how he’s looking at you.
You waste no time, shifting around until you’ve got his cock in your hand and are settling atop it. You moan in tandem as he spreads you, the broad tip of him easily pressing through the slick.
“Needy tonight, huh? What’s got you all worked up?” he teases.
“Just you,” you say through a gasp as you grind down all the way.
He reaches up, maybe for your breasts, but you don’t find out. Instead, you intercept them and entwine your fingers.
He gets the idea and holds firm, ever your unwavering foundation. You use his support to gyrate, hips grinding as your thighs push around his to slide up and down on his cock.
Your palms are sweaty, but his grip is tight and desperate. His head tilts back, exposing the long column of his neck.
“Fuck,” you whimper as you get the angle just right. It makes you jerk a little, bumping that sweet spot again. He grunts, teeth gritted as you clamp down around him. When he looks back up at you, he’s positively ravenous.
“No,” you say before he opens his mouth with some bullshit.
“C’mon,” he whines.
“You’re still sick. I’m not lettin’ you cough up a lung. You’re gonna lay there and take what I give ya.”
His eyes narrow at the over the top Texan accent you saved for the last bit. “You think you’re funny, huh?”
“You think I’m funny. You love all my jokes.”
“Damned if I don’t,” he grumbles, but it’s betrayed by the look in his eyes. “You, too, y’know.”
You almost freeze up but decide to play obtuse. “You’re right; I do love all my jokes.”
He opens his mouth again, so you change pace a little to throw him off.
It works.
Whatever he was about to say, which you know damn well but aren’t prepared to handle right now, comes out as a broken moan.
Tumblr media
In the end, it slips out of you a few days later. It’s not triggered by anything; he doesn’t do anything charming, there’s no intense moment of intimacy or heroism that inspires it.
You don’t mean to say it, but you do mean it.
You’re sitting side by side on his porch, steaming mugs of tea in hand. The pale winter sun has barely broken the horizon, but you had still agreed to come out in the cold with him. Agreed it might be good for him to get some fresh air.
The fuck you quilt is draped over both your shoulders. Joel had grabbed it on the way out the door while you balanced the tea and put your boots on. It cocoons you, but there’s still a little space between you, knees knocking together but bodies apart.
You watch his breath curl out into the dawn, and it just happens.
“I love you, Joel,” you say. It’s quiet, softer than the creak of the swing. It takes you by surprise, as your tongue so often does, but you don’t try to reel it back or brace for disaster.
You don’t need to. You know.
But he freezes. Pauses.
He didn’t know, you realize, he wasn’t sure. All this time, he wasn’t saying it but still making sure you knew.
But you haven’t done the same for him.
He didn’t know.
He wraps his free arm around your shoulder and tucks you into him, chin resting on your head. “I love you, too, sweetheart.”
The peace lasts for about a minute.
“Now will you stop being so goddamn stubborn and move in?”

36. things you said but didn’t mean (sidgeno)
tell me you're not over contractgate without saying you're not over contractgate...
thanks anon! the prompt list is here :)
Zhenya’s phone has been going off since the news broke last night.
He turned it off after he signed his contract and got confirmation it was received; he wanted to go to bed without constant interruptions, actually get some sleep after an emotional and exhausting couple of days. He hadn’t been that successful, but he’d at least woken up and for a few minutes been able to pretend that it was just a regular day, that nothing dramatic had happened to him recently, and all he’d have on his phone were the usual drunk messages from Sasha begging him to come back to Moscow early and a few good-morning emojis from Sid.
After he finished his tea, though, he couldn’t avoid it any longer, and he reluctantly took his phone into the living room, hoping that maybe the background murmur of the TV would lessen the blow.
It did not.
The TV is on, sure, but Zhenya had to turn it to mute—the morning news clashing with the constant pinging and buzzing as his phone frantically tried to alert him to every missed call, text, email, telegram, WhatsApp, instagram DM, snapchat, and tweet was giving him a pounding headache. And two hours later, he’s just barely climbing out from under it, deleting the majority of the notifications unread and focusing his attention on responding to teammates and the guys who are still lingering around Miami for the summer. The rest of the Russians and his family can wait—his parents will understand, and he doesn’t care about pissing Sasha off.
There’s one conversation that’s been pushed all the way to the bottom of his iMessages, inactive since yesterday morning. Zhenya’s scrolled past it a few times, but can’t bring himself to click on it.
Finally, when he finds himself actually contemplating responding to fans’ DMs with apologies for making them worry, he forces himself to open the last things Sid texted him, right after their fight.
hanging up on me? seriously?
this isn’t my fucking fault
and now you’re ignoring me? fucking awesome
whatever man. i don’t have to deal with this shit from you. i’m sick of your bs whenever you’re not getting your way. do whatever the fuck you want, i’ll find out what sorry team signs you tomorrow afternoon
Zhenya feels a little sick, reading it back now. He’d been so angry when he’d hung up on Sid, screaming at him like he hated him. Some of the stuff he’d said…he can’t blame Sid for being upset.
There are Flyers fans from their early years in the league who’d love to take notes on what Zhenya said to Sid yesterday.
Sid’s weathered Zhenya’s temper before, though—let him rant and rave and calmed him down with just the right words, and eventually, just the right touch. He’s always known when to leave Zhenya alone and when to engage, just like Zhenya knows how to handle Sid’s bursts of anger and the rest of his quirks. It’s why they work, it’s why they’ve always worked.
Now, though, staring at a conversation that hasn’t been updated in over 24 hours, Zhenya wonders if he finally said something that Sid can’t forgive. What else would have kept him from sending a message when he got the news that Zhenya was staying after all?
Screwing up his courage, Zhenya presses ‘dial’ and waits, holding his breath.
When it goes straight to voicemail, he wonders for a second if he really will pass out.
call me pls he fires off, sinking into the couch and rubbing his hand over his face when the message stays green.
He fucked it up for real this time, then. And now he’s tied himself to Sid’s team for the rest of his career, when Sid’s never going to talk to him again—or worse, he will, but in that freezingly polite voice he uses with annoying reporters and former teammates who have fallen out of his favor.
Zhenya wonders if Hextall would be able to trade him, even with the dramatics of the last 36 hours. Surely someone would be able to accommodate his new, reduced cap hit.
He’s not sure how long he sits on his couch, the TV playing soundlessly and his phone slack in his hand, but when his lock starts to turn, it sounds like a gunshot.
“Fuck,” Zhenya hisses, scrambling to retrieve his phone where it had fallen when he jumped. Probably Seryozha; old man never knows when to mind his own business.
When the door is finally open, though, the voice that floats through from the foyer is distinctly Canadian. “G?”
“Sid??” Zhenya says incredulously, jumping to his feet and almost tripping over his couch on his way to the hall.
Against all odds, it is Sid in his hallway, raggedy in his sweats and with bruise-dark circles under his eyes. He has one of his plain black caps crammed over his head, and the curls escaping from the sides are greasy.
“You’re staying,” Sid says, dropping his duffle. He looks small, shoulders uncharacteristically hunched in, and Zhenya moves toward him before he remembers what happened.
“I’m not sure you see,” he says cautiously. Sid seems skittish, darting his eyes around Zhenya’s condo like he’s never been here before. “I try to call, it’s voicemail. Sid, you’re here?”
“Oh, I was on the plane…I think my phone died while I was in the air, I don’t have a charger, can I plug it in somewhere?” Sid’s fumbling in his pocket. He won’t meet Zhenya’s eyes.
“Sid,” Zhenya says, concerned now, moving closer just as Sid sways forward alarmingly. “Sid! Jesus, come sit down.”
“Sorry,” Sid says faintly, letting Zhenya manhandle him into the living room and down on the couch. Zhenya remembers when they went to pick it out, how Sid had spent hours thoughtfully trying every couch in the store until the salesman looked like he was about to scream, before finally convincing Zhenya that this boring beige monstrosity was the right choice. He’d been correct, of course; this one is big and deep, and even ten years later still the most comfortable piece of furniture Zhenya owns.
“You’re sick?” Zhenya asks, plucking Sid’s phone from his hands and plugging it in. “Need water, maybe, or like, soup?”
“No,” Sid says with a deep sigh, settling back into the cushions and cracking his neck. “I’m fine. I’ve been traveling since last night, I haven’t slept…I’m just tired.”
“Last—” Zhenya snaps his mouth shut when Sid looks at him steadily. Last night, when his contract extension was announced. “Sid, I…”
“No,” Sid says firmly. “Listen. I get you were mad. I…well, I don’t know what it felt like, but I understand. And we both said some things…” He heaves a sigh. “I didn’t mean what I texted you. I’m not sick of you. I want to deal with your shit.” He looks down at his hands, twisted up in his lap. “I…you promised me. Do you remember?”
Zhenya does. After their first Cup, when they’d been so sure that they’d be back the next year, and the year after that. He and Sid had been tucked away together in a corner of Mario’s backyard, passing a bottle of shitty flat champagne back and forth and watching the sun rise. They’d been talking, but after a while it had faded to nothing, just quiet company, shoulders pressed together as the next day arrived.
“You’ll stay, right?” Sid had said abruptly, and Zhenya had looked at him, bleary-eyed and confused. “Here, in Pittsburgh. With me. You’ll stay? Even after your next contract?”
It hadn’t been a question that needed answering, in Zhenya’s eyes, but he’d answered anyway, leaning over and tilting Sid’s chin up and kissing him before whispering, “I stay always. Promise.”
He’d meant it then. He meant it last night, when he put pen to paper and signed away the rest of his playing career. He’d meant it when he was spitting invective at Sid over the phone, too, swearing he’d leave and sign somewhere the front office actually gave a shit about him.
“I never forget,” he says now, sitting next to Sid on the couch. “I’m so sorry, Sid, I’m like, I don’t know what I say to you. It’s such horrible things…I’m not mean, I swear. What do I do for forgive?”
When he looks over, Sid’s eyes are squeezed shut, but there’s a tear trickling down one cheek anyway. “I know you didn’t,” he chokes out. “I know, but…I was scared, G. I never really thought you’d leave me, and then…”
He opens his eyes and glares fiercely at Zhenya. “Fuck you for saying all that shit,” he spits, and Zhenya bows his head, because he deserves it. “Fuck you for doing that to me.” He sticks his hands in his hoodie’s front pocket, pulling out a small velvet box. Zhenya goes very still.
“I had to stop in Pittsburgh, on my way here,” Sid says, turning the box over in his hands. “I’ve had this…well, I had ideas, but we haven’t exactly made the most of the last couple of playoffs, so.” He snorts humorlessly. “We might not ever again, so I’m not sure what the point of waiting is.”
Sid flicks the box open. Inside there’s a ring, nestled in satin, shining bright. It’s gold, with beveled edges cut through with black striations, and thick; something that won’t look out of place on Zhenya’s big hands. If he knows Sid, there will be something on the inside—a date, maybe, or even a time.
“You don’t deserve this right now,” Sid says quietly, lifting Zhenya’s right hand and sliding the ring on. “And I’m not sure I deserve to be asking, either. But maybe that’s the point, eh? We’re still here.”
“Yes,” Zhenya says, splaying his fingers out to admire the ring, then folding his hands around Sid’s.
“Yes to what?” Sid asks, a bit of amusement lacing into his voice.
“Yes to everything,” Zhenya replies. “Everything, with you.”

heyyy again, can i request the rise turtles reacting to reader deciding they want to pierce them-selfs but too lazy to go get them professionally done so they just walk in on the reader half-way piercing them-selfs and freak out cuz they just have a needle in them and reader is laughing their ass off at their face.
(the piercing can be anywhere an there face)
remember to drink lots of water as well and take care of yourself <3
Your literally so sweet! Thank you! <3 and right back at you, take good care!
Also I got to like the middle of Mikey's and then Tumblr deleted the whole thing so I just kinda🥲
TW: Mentions of blood (nothing gross), mentions of needles and needles piercing skin
Notes: GN reader
You decided that getting piercings was too much effort and too expensive. So why not do it yourself?
Tumblr media
Raph:
*PANIC*
Boi is the epitome of terrified
And look, he knows piercings are a thing and that people get them but like he isn't surrounded by many people with them and he always thought it was supposed to be done professionally.
So, safe to say when he comes to your place to hang and finds you in the bathroom with blood dripping from your ear and a needle in it, broski SCREECHED.
Legit worried someone straight up tried to stabb you with a needle.
Tonight was the night! You finally decided to suck it up and get that double piercing you've always wanted. However, you were poor.
So! DIY it is! People do it all the time so it couldn't be that hard right?
Wrong.
At least you think so. You didn't really do any research before hand so you aren't 100% sure the bleeding is bad. But at the same time you don't think bleeding is normal in this kind of situation. Or at least not the desired result.
Admist the chaos of you trying to control the bleeding Raph texts you that he dropped by for a short visit. You figured that the calming presence of your boyfriend would help lift you mood and keep you from freaking out. So after telling him where to find you, you sat down on the toilet lid to actually search up how to to pierce yourself. (And if bleeding is normal). However before you could get to any useful information you hear the surprised screech of your boyfriend.
"OH MI GOSH! ARE YOU OKAY??!"
"Oh, Raph this is jus-"
"WOW thatsalotofblood...COTTON BALLS! or gauze?? You have those right? How did this happen?? WAIT! We need to remove the needle first! Did someone do this to you??? Was it an accident? How do you accidental-"
"PFFFFFFFTTT! HAHAHehehehehe!" You practically cackled.
"w- ... what ...?" Raph said, no less panicked, just a little more confused.
"Raph. Sweetheart, hehe," you couldn't help but giggle. "Love of my life, I'm fine, I'm just piercing my ears."
"Oh. So the bleeding is normal then?"
"Oh, no. I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing."
"TAKE THE NEEDLE OUT!"
Tumblr media
Mikey:
You cannot tell me this boy has not thought about getting piercings before.
They're just so pretty and cool, and he is all for them! (Low-key upset he doesn't have ears because of all the cool ear piercings out there)
Even with that though, when you show up with needles sticking out of each side of you bottom lip, bro is a little scared.
Like wtf are you doing??
When you tell him though, he is HAPPY to help.
He will even get a piercing with you!
Splinter will make him take it out later buuuuuut, it's about the couple bondinggg!!
On a high of boredom and internet envy (a.k.a, seeing tons of pics of hot ppl with snake bite piercings) you began to prepare needles to give yourself some dope piercings. After expertly pushing the needles through both ends of your bottom lip you were reminded of your 'bi-weekly mandatory art and cuddle couple bonding date' (Mikey's name for it). You couldn't just take the needles out so after some thought you just decided, screw it, it's not like I'm bleeding. It hurt a little though.
After slipping under the man hole cover and navigating the nasty sewer you made it to the lair. Voicing a quick hello to Splinter as you passed through he living room he met you with a swift wave, still thoroughly invested in his l show.
Making your way to Mikey's room you speak a quick 'knock knock' to get his attention, seeing as you couldn't really knock on a curtain. As the turtle of the hour excitedly pushed open the curtain he was more than a little surprised upon seeing you.
"EEP!"
*WHEEZE!*
You couldn't help it okay?? You didn't know what reaction you were expecting from him but it definitely wasn't 'EEP!'. Eventually you both calmed down enough to talk.
"Angle, what did you do?"
"I'm getting snake bites! Did it myself, what do you think??"
"That's so COOL! Can I get a piercing too!!?"
"I'm pretty sure that's up to your dad hun."
"He'll be fineeeeeee! Come on! This can be the art portion of the 'art and cuddle' date.
Later:
"ORANGE!" Splinter yelled. "I DON'T CARE IF THIS IS SOME FORM OF TEENAGE REBELLION, TAKE THAT OUT NOW OR I'LL DO IT MYSELF!"
"But daaaaaaad!"
Tumblr media
Leo:
If you thought Raph's screeching was bad, Leo's is worse.
My guy just wanted to see you and just so happens to portal to you right as the needle goes STRAIGHT through your septum.
When he sees this he FREAKS TF OUT then slips and eats bathroom tile right after.
You'll laugh but he will be so shook
Like he saw the needle GO THROUGH YOU!
Mans is high-key traumatized.
It doesn't help that he probably forgot that piercings were a thing and is just like, wth would you put a needle in YOUR FACE.
When you tell him you're just getting a piercing he will get pouty about you laughing at him (and embarrassed that that wasn't his first thought) and you'll basically have to baby him the rest of the time he's there.
"Oh y/nnnnn-"
*Pinch*
Needle successfully through the septum.
"EEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH- OOF!"
"HOLY! LEO! WTF you scared the crap out of me! Are you okay?!"
"Wha- eeh- THERES A NEEDLE IN YOUR NOSE!" He yelled pointing a finger at your face.
"Sksksksksk," you snickered. "Yeah, Leo, I put it there."
You had always wanted a septum piercing, but you just couldn't bring yourself to actually go and get it done so you figured the only way to get it is to do it yourself. Your just lucky Leo scared you after it was through rather than before, who knows the kind of bloody nose you would have gotten.
"WHY?!"
"Uuuh, cuz septum piercings are cool?"
"..."
"So how'd the floor taste bud?"
"I-! Hey! Why don't you try seeing someone STAB a NEEDLE through there face. I SAW I GO THROUGH!" He gestured dramatically before folding his arms and facing away from you.
"Awww, come on now handsome. Don't be like that. Tell you what, why don't we make some hot coco and we can watch whatever movie you want"
"Mmmhmmhmhm" he grumped but complied as you led him to the kitchen.
He clung to you the rest of the evening and consistently snuggled his face into your neck during the movie.
Tumblr media
Donnie:
Low-key grossed out by the idea of a needle going through someone.
Even more grossed out that you decided to #1. Do it yourself, and #2. Pierce your tongue.
Just, ewww.
But then you had the GALL to ask him if he could help you and he's just like, with what??
I'm not touching your tongue and I am sure not stabbing it with a needle, so what do you want from me??
Will tell you about the multitude of mouth infections you could get from a tongue piercing
Will be there the entire time to make sure you don't hurt yourself, though he has to look away when you actually put the needle through.
Again, ew.
Even though he finds the whole idea gross, he will admit that when all was said and done, it looked good on you.
Your probably the only person he thinks looks good with one.
"I'm sure Mikey would be more than happy to help you."
"No Donnie! I asked YOU cuz I want YOUR help!"
You told Donnie all the time how you wanted a tongue piercing. You were just to lazy to get it done professionally and frankly, you don't want a stranger prodding your mouth. When you realized you could do it yourself, you were so excited. Donnie helping you would just make it all that much better!
"Y/n, while I am happy to assist you in any matter and am glad you came to me for such, I'm afraid I cannot help you in this matter."
"Why not? Your smart, with your help my piercing will be perfect!"
"Dearest. You are correct, I am smart. However, I am a man if science and my talents lie outside the realm of bodily piercings. Besides, are you aware of the sheer amount of infections a piercing give you? Mouth piercings especially cause quite grotesque infections, and that's not even to mention the damage it can cause to your teeth."
"Awwww." You sighed in disappointment.
"..."
"Though... I suppose nothing stops me from making sure you follow the instructions correctly."
"YAAAY!"
-a couple minutes later-
"Okay, dear, let's go over one more time. Gauze?"
"Yes!" You replied.
"Needle?"
"Yup!"
"Piercing?"
"Yeppers!"
Donnie looked at you for a moment and raised an eyebrow at that response, but kept going regardless.
"Lighter and ice cubes?"
"Yeppiroo!"
"Okay. The first step is to heat the needle."
After carefully going through the instructions you finally got your long awaited tongue piercing! However Donnie didn't think you had started to pierce your tongue and saw you with a needle halfway through your tongue before looking away and gaging, which you couldn't help but laugh at. That was until Donnie told you to stop before you hurt yourself. Overall, he did make the whole experience, so much better.
------------------------------------------------------------
I hope that was good! Sorry if there are any inaccuracies. I am literally going off of what I saw in the parent trap soooooo. Yeah. There's my first fic.
Imma go to bed now🥱😵

Tumblr media
this is more interesting than it seems
first off, the post is real.
second, gwhiz138 is gerard way.
the username "gwhiz138" was changed to "official-gerardway" on june 3 2014. proof 1: this tweet.
Tumblr media
proof 2: gwhiz vs official -- same post date, same content. notes are different but you can see that notes under official began the day of the name change. another example: gwhiz vs official.
proof 3: "gwhiz138.tumblr.com" and "official-gerardway.tumblr.com" (after the name change) used to redirect to gerardway.com when you look them up on archive.org.
proof 4: there is a direct indication that the posts used to come from gwhiz138 thru gerardway.com/about pre-name change ->
Tumblr media
very thorough to make sure all bases are covered in who gwhiz138.tumblr.com is. it's gerard, and it was the previous username of official-gerardway.
part 3: did "gwhiz138" begin april 28 2014? did it end june 3 2014?
the blog "gwhiz138.tumblr.com" is password protected today. fans around at the time say it always had been password-protected (source). they also say that the username was taken for a "few months". i assume they mean since gerard tweeted his spotify account bearing the name "gwhiz128" on april 19 2014. searching twitter at the time, this is true (april 19: tweet 1, tweet 2, tweet 3, tumblr 1).
gerard doesnt share his tumblr until may 5 2014:
Tumblr media
going back, april 11, gerard implied he used to be on tumblr and was going back.
Tumblr media
april 28 he tweeted this:
Tumblr media
hours later the "welcome" post was created:
Tumblr media
which is also what he said when he stopped using tumblr on gerardway.com in sept 2016:
Tumblr media
on april 29, something was leaked:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
at first, i thought he was talking about the gwhiz138 tumblr account. but that doesnt make sense because the april 28 welcome post didnt get notes until may 5 — meaning the blog was still password-locked. then i learned of a fake tumblr account "gerardwaydotcom" with the associated twitter "gerardsoloalbum" (april 29: tweet 1, tweet 2, tumblr 1, tumblr 2). they leaked the "welcome" post within 2 hours of gerard making it on his locked account. they also posted this about.
when i googled the fake account name, i found this archive of gerard tweets. seemingly, a now-hidden account asked gerard directly about the “gerardwaydotcom” tumblr, which lead to the tweets (the fake turned out to be a creep).
Tumblr media
things eventually go as plan and we already know the saga from ghwiz138 to official-gerardway to gerardway.com
not only was “gwhiz138” taken immediately after the change, but it also went back to to being password protected. no matter who took the account, i dont see why either gerard or a fan would protect the username. who owns “gwhiz138” today remains a mystery.
the "that me" post still sparks a few questions: when did gerard reblog it? it's no longer on his blog. why was it deleted? when was it deleted? was it a relic of pre-“welcome” tumblr use? was it the only casual interaction gerard’s had on tumblr?
part 4: the post.
i figured that the "that me" post was made sometime between oct 19 2013 (original post creation) and may 5 2014, the day gerard officially shared their tumblr account. evidenced on twitter and following the reblogs, in addition to the source of the first screenshot:
Tumblr media
but i see a lot of people saying to click his account. i cant now but these guys could (source 1, source 2):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then i noticed that his icon (cube) doesnt align with the icon his account now has as "gwhiz138" (double-sided pyramid). another difference is that the gwhiz138 profile on his original posts lead to the blogsite whereas the "that me" has no link. maybe tumblr has different rules for reblogs vs original posts. maybe gwhiz138 being active at the time then renamed then remade screwed with tumblr ... or something else is afoot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now, i promised myself i wouldnt scroll through all...
Tumblr media
27,672 reblogs of this post. 50 notes load per scroll. i cant find a way to crawl through the notes. well. i turned on frances ha and put my autoscroller to good use. crying my eyes out at the movie's sweet ass ending, i noticed that i was far into the notes on may 5 2014. i click on profiles scrolling up. lots are just the main post. then i see this (source):
Tumblr media
suspicious as fuck tag. the previous reblogger deactivated (if everyone kept their accounts live, this wouldve been a shorter post), so i ctrl+F-ed the reblogs list for the deactivated account. then my dumb ass exited the page. so i started great gatsby. another hour and a half later, im at the very start of may 5 2014. i checked the 6 other reblogs from mcrfanblog, all of them AFTER alienemotions' (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) --
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is the original, if you follow this link.
Tumblr media
look at how tight this timeline is:
Tumblr media
APPARENTLY!!!!!!!!!!! in 2014 you could edit a previous reblog to change someone's USERNAME, CAPTION, anddd the LINK TO THEIR PROFILE. i looked at the code behind this post and all the reblogs have the same characteristics, including "that me". i have no fucking clue how alienemotions did that.
this is the conclusion: gerard way was gwhiz138 on may 5 2014, and though gwhiz138 said "that me" on may 5 2014, gerard way did not!
i considered it was a fake when i saw the very first screenshot. but i discovered the post was real and the idea flew out of my brain. ive literally had parts 1 - 3 written for 2 weeks. i was going to publish it last night but i then had the Thoughts at the beginning of part 4. everything on official-gerardway is everything gwhiz138 posted -- there is no secret tumblr interactions.
this is a mystery no one cared about. the post was last reblogged in 2020. before that it was only circulated as the main post. considering how people talked as if the rickroll was gerard's doing, and how the URL broke ages ago, and only the initial reactions are circulated... i feel ive put something to rest.

if you had to pick one specific design detail from each of your characters that is your favorite, which would it be and why?
For Nate:
Michael - his cane (the overall design and the story behind it)
Vox - his oufit (it's fun to draw and look at)
Emily - her snake tail (everyone loves M)
Lute - her hair (you could easily tell which species she's based on plus it looks cool)
For Adureal:
Michael: Mike's tattered wings - because it is the clearest proof of Mike's absolute protection for Sera and Emi when all three of them fell. He used his wings to cover them both and thanks to him, both of them fallen safe and sound without any wound.
Vox: The wire behind his head - It resembles both a tail and a deadly weapon. Similar to Al's shadow, it also express Vox's true emotions. In addition, the wire can be extended as long as desired and when needed, Vox can insert the plug into the back of the opponent's neck, causing them to lose consciousness. From there, Vox can easily penetrate a person's brain and read the memories and information they know through the virtual screen he creates. He can alter, mess around, arrange or delete memories as he please.
Emily: The snake's tail named M - I'm proud because it's quite unique, moreover, I like the fact that Emi has a little friend who is always by her side whenever she needs her and who shares everything with her. M is extremely adorable like Emi so I love it so much!!! Double cutie pie for real.
Lute: Prosthetic arm - after "that thing" took her arm, Lute begged Emily to regenerate a new biological arm for her. The reason is because when Lute used the mechanical arm, she felt inconvenience. Loose screws, forgetting to lubricate, installing too tight, etc. Just a few problems and the arm won't work as smoothly. Lute is afraid that in her future battle with Vaggie, it will get in the way. Despite Emily's warning that the process will be dangerous and painful, even with a low success rate, Lute will do anything for her revenge. Emily had no choice but to agreed and it was truly the most terrible pain Lute had to experience in her life. Finally, a bat-shaped arm grew out and that magic also partly influenced Lute to gain other bat-like characteristics later.

Sam, Dean, and Castiel turn to run out of the room but you’re already trying to pounce on them. Saliva drips from your mouth at the thought of ripping into their bodies, and you bark so loud the noise echoes off the walls. All three men run for their lives straight down to the control room where they have access to shut down the entire Bunker. If you can’t have them, you might be inclined to leave the Bunker and hurt someone innocent.
Castiel uses his powers to slam the doors closed just as you ram your entire body into the door. Sam scrambles to press the lockdown button that shuts down every door, locks them, and turns the blinking red lights on.
You bark loudly and slam your body against the door yet again causing it to shake and almost splinter.
“How the hell did this happen?” Dean gasps.
“I don’t know. Y/N! Stop!”
You bang against the door again. This time, it does splinter and the wood pierces your arm. You howl out in pain and back up to give yourself a break. The door is made of metal but the outer layer is wood which is why it was able to break off and pierce you. Suddenly, the urge to kill isn’t so bad now that you have a wound to take care of. You whimper in pain and run down the hallway to somewhere isolated.
Sam, Dean, and Castiel stare at the door in fear you’re taking a break to ram the door again. However, after an hour of sitting there, they figure you must have moved on to something else. Sam turns the alarm off, allowing people to enter and exit the Bunker freely. The red lights shut off and are replaced by the dim yellow ones.
Castiel opens the door and sees a pool of blood by the door. Wolf or not, you’re still his daughter. If he sees blood, he’s immediately going to get worried for your safety. The trail of blood leads them to the infirmary where you’re sitting on the bed in your human form. Tears are streaming down your face as you’re trying to heal yourself.
“I’m so sorry,” you sob and yank a piece of wood out of your arm.
“What happened?” Sam asks in a gentle tone that makes you cry harder.
“I went on a hunt without you guys. I just wanted to prove myself. Life’s been hard without my powers and I wanted to do something good for once instead of screw it up like I always do. I wanted to prove I could still help people even if I’m not an angel. I got bit by the werewolf. I was so scared to tell you. I messed up. I’m so sorry,” you sob.
Sam and Dean give you and Castiel a moment to yourselves as father and daughter. They will discuss it later but this moment is reserved for you two. Castiel walks over to you and places his hand on your arm. He uses his angelic powers to heal you of any wounds you might have.
“I’m upset you didn’t tell us what happened and the fact that you went on a hunt by yourself, but you’re my daughter. I’m gonna love you no matter what species you are. We can and will definitely talk about this later, but what matters right now is that you’re okay.”
“Don’t hate me, please,” you cry and look up at him. “I’m so sorry.”
“Come here,” he whispers. He pulls you into a hug and lets you cry into his chest. He rubs your back soothingly and smooths down your hair. “I could never hate you. I love you so much. We’ll figure this out together. Garth is a werewolf. We can talk to him and have him help you adjust.”
“Okay,” you nod and pull away from him.
“Without your mother, it’s just you and me.” He leans down and kisses your head. “Right now, that’s all you’re ever going to need. We’ll figure it out together.”
You messed up but there is a way to deal with it instead of panicking and hurting someone who doesn’t deserve it. It’s not going to be easy, but what is?

Here's what I think Grian would look like in Secret Life.
Tumblr media
My design break down.
I really liked the thought of him being the "light" and the "taskmaster," so I took that as my main inspiration for his design. With elements of the concept "speak no evil." Credits to a random person for the outline with gold wings idea. Pretty sure they deleted their post.
His staff
On it is his task in a scroll holder. It is held tightly by leather straps.
Nobody but the original person can read their tasks but you're pretty screwed if you lose it so better to keep it safe than be sorry later.
The base is made up of various metals but mostly iron. The bottom has a sphere and is made with gold.
No explanation just ✨aesthetics.✨
The upper half has the life series hearts on top of winding wood that is in the shape of a heart holding an egg that is a replica of the Secret Keeper.
Pretty self explanatory. Though I like to imagine the egg makes the same particles as the Secret Keeper.
It also has a little apple charm dangling from the wood heart.
Got the charm as a gift from a friend because of his apple obsession.
Clothes
Gave him a priest inspired collar.
In my lore he functions similar to a preacher/priest. Spreading the godly nature of the rules and how the Secret Keeper is always watching.
His poncho is a dark charcoal with purple undertones, it's lined with gold and golden wings, on the back the words "speak no evil" are written. He wears a sleeveless shirt with a coat tail under the poncho with the same design.
It's similar to ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ attire in design and colors. The words on his back are a reminder, (plus it's edgy) to the nature of secrets.
Wrapped around his waist is a yellow waist sash pinned with a hardcore heart clip.
Once again it explains itself.
Brown cargo pants with two bags on it.
It's pants. Idk what you want me to say. Not everything is going to be a Shakespeare metaphor.
Black bodysuit that wraps around his feet and ends in gold rings on his middle fingers.
No explanation needed.
Accessories
Two gold rings on his tail.
Grian just thinks it looks cool.
⍑ᔑꖎ𝙹
Stitched mouth.
It's to show loyalty to the Secret Keeper.
Broken silver chains on his wrists.
He escaped them. ꖌᒷᒷ!¡ ꖎ||╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ||𝙹⚍∷ᓭᒷꖎ⎓ ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ ᒲᔑ||ʖᒷ ||𝙹⚍'ꖎꖎ ᓭℸ ̣ ᔑ∷ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ʖᒷꖎ╎ᒷ⍊ᒷ ╎ℸ ̣
A sun pin with a heart and hold but hanging from it.
Grian is the sun. He is the light. He always is.
Non-human bits
His wings are that of a dove.
Doves are often associated with freedom, especially in religious texts. Plus don't ᔑリ⊣ᒷꖎ always have white wings?
Lion tail.
In Buddhism lions were frequently pictured with bodhisattvas who guide people to the path of enlightenment. It fits the religious vibes I'm going for.
Bird styled feet and hands.
I just think it's neat. He's an avian after all, well mostly anyways.
Well that's the end of my explanation, thanks for reading to the end. 👋

i'm recovering from surgery and therefore off my adhd meds so fuck it
Here's 4 Things That I, a Former Computer Technician, Wish Everybody Knew About Technology
I'm not a major expert or anything, but I'm certified for repairs for two of the biggest laptop manufacturers out there, have done not only several in-warranty repairs for those companies, but have also done a few at-home "sure babe I'll replace your laptop battery" repairs for friends/partners. I am also my whole extended family's designated tech support person for all things software. Here we go!
1. When you spill liquid on a device, turn it off, LEAVE it off, and bring it to a technician. Liquid damage to devices does not occur at the moment of the spill, but when electricity goes through wet/corroded transistors. It is NOT a good thing if the device "suddenly works later."
2. Every device that you have that can be used and also move at the same time (laptop, tablet, phone, etc.) has what's called an "SSD," or "solid-state-drive" for its storage. "Storage" is what you actually keep saved on the device, which is different from "memory" (a computer's ability to multitask). SSDs are great, but there's one thing to keep in mind: they really really REALLY don't like being filled to the brim. When they get too full, they essentially lose the ability to actually make any more space, even when you delete something, and that causes all kinds of software issues. Most good SSDs are programmed to prevent this, but you can still manage to screw them up if you try hard enough. Treat every SSD like it's maybe 5GB smaller than it says it is.
3. Turn your devices off every once in a while. Like, idk, maybe once a week. It's good for them. And no, restarting doesn't count, I mean turn them fully, fully off. If you're unsure as to the difference, let me put it this way: imagine you always got 8 hours of sleep, but only 2 hours at a time. Yeah - that's what only ever restarting is like. Turn your phone and your tablet and your computer fully off every now and again. It doesn't have to be for long or anything, just has to be a full shutdown.
4. If you lose the charger for your laptop, do some google research and find out the exact specifications of the charger your computer has - specifically, the wattage. I highly recommend going to the original manufacturer to buy your replacement. I know that a lot of laptop chargers can be hella expensive, but trust me, buying a cheap Amazon charger will become a MUCH more expensive problem later. If you can't get the original charger from the manufacturer, or if you can but it'll ship way too late, at least try to compare the price that they sell it for to what you purchase elsewhere - if it's anything more than like 10$ cheaper than what the manufacturer is charging, then it's suspicious.
TL;DR: if you spill liquid on something turn it off and bring it to a technician no matter what, treat every device's storage like it's maybe 5GB smaller than it says it is, turn your phone off every once in a while, and if you lose your laptop charger buy the replacement directly from the manufacturer.
People who repair devices for a living will thank you.
Oh! And back up your data. Please. I literally don't care how, just do it. Seriously.

I won't ever finish the Cult Au at this rate, damn word deleting my everything.
But I can share some Father Spore Cult AU things I was going to write.
-
Mumbo had been working for a few days now on the house fixing up and painting. Today was one of the days that Scar and Grian were both over helping him paint the kitchen. Going for more colorful in there with sunny yellow walls and soft sage green cabinets. They were mostly chatting, as Scar was asking about Mumbo while Grian listened.
"My dad and mom lived in the city all there lives, I was born and raised there. And we often went out to a country home to spend Holidays with the family." Mumbo told them as he worked on the fixtures. "My dad wasn't a wealthy man, despite how we looked. Where his brother went into business and carpentry, and other things, My dad opted to play trumpet for crowds. He made money enough to get by with our modest apartment." a faint smile on his face.
Mumbo tested the strength of the screws and laughed softly, "There are days I don't understand it, why he chose to live the life he did when he could have made a job at one of his brother's firms... making better money." he continued, then scoffed to himself. "I still think about it though."
A pause after that before Mumbo got up and smiled at Scar as he went over and helped Grian finished making tea. "But," he said, "he always smiled more than his brothers and family, never was a sad day for him, always a joke on his lips and a laugh."
Then Mumbo grinned, "Plus, everyone came to our cabin for all the holidays, after my grandparents gave it to him. Guess that says alot." he picked up a tea cup and then laughed lightly.
"Why am I tell you two all these things?" Mumbo shook his head as he gave Scar his cup.
Scar grinned at him as he sat with them at the table, "Because I asked." he said back simply with a laugh of his own. That he did, Scar started talking about some memories of his, and then asked Mumbo about his family.
"Well I know, but... why did I answer?" Mumbo made a face of confusion, he didn't know why he answered the others questions, or why he liked it when some of them made Grian cackle, or Scar to let out his window wiper wheeze.
He always did feel at ease around the two when they were here helping him fix up the place. They made him feel welcome and special, chatting away about meaningless topics and just enjoying their company. Mumbo hadn't felt like this in a long time.
"Can I ask you both something? It's a thing you told me once before, when showing me around." Mumbo looked at them as Grian sat beside him.
"Shoot!" Grian said in a chipper tone as he chewed on the cookies that Gem gave them.
Gazing at them curiously, Mumbo hummed, "Do you both really believe life is shaped by the yeses over the nos?" he asked them.
Scar had once said that to him, that life tend to revolve around what you say yes to over what you say no too. As the yeses matter more, and impact you more. Smiling faintly, Scar nodded along with Grian, "Oh we absolutely do." he said in a firm and happy tone.
Looking back at his cup Mumbo let out a soft laugh, "I haven't really said 'yes' to much in my life... my mom said I let opportunities pass me by." he admits, eyes cast to the soft amber liquid in the cup.
A hand touched his as he looked over at Grian's smile, "Well, you're not wasting this one at least... everyone here likes you, including us." he promised, which did make Mumbo smile.
That was reassuring, and he really did like this place too. Mumbo could see himself staying here for the long term.
-
I wanted to slowly build up Mumbo falling in love with them as the strange things happened each night. Until the night he was out too late and saw something he shouldn't have.
And in a way have Scarian slowly manipulating Mumbo to saying 'Yes' to joining their mushroom cult later.
Akajdjd Bouta beat up the program deleting your work
But this is so good! Ugh a slow burn of Mumbo falling for them? Getting him to say yes? And the way they interact in this small blurb is just *chefs kiss* I absolutely adore your dialog and pacing

You guys have established that within yourselves multiple times over the period of being assigned this project. So then, why does it feel like a date? And why didn't you think about doing the unthinkable before you did it? Why would you- Oh, nevermind, he liked it.

Back To Master List
Tumblr media
Before the teacher could even call your name, your hand shot up into the air. She stared at you behind her glasses, unsure of whether or not she should bother before inevitably doing so.
"Yes, (Y/N)?"
"Can I work by myself?"
Normally, the sudden attention of all of your peers would make you want to gag and recluse. But, you were willing to ignore it this time, seeing as working with some random classmate you didn't even get to pick seemed a lot worse.
"Well, honey, it's a group project. You can't do all of that work on your own."
'Oh, yes, the hell I can...' Was your thought to her innocent attempt at persuasion. On top of the anxiety working with a stranger caused you, you also knew that if you were stuck off with the wrong people, you'd most likely end up doing all of the work anyway. And get a lower percentage of the credit.
Screw that.
"It's fine, I just really wanna work on my own." You attempted twice, and the teacher still wouldn't buy it as she offered up a compromise.
"How about you just work with a partner, instead? There isn't enough to make equal groups of four, anyway, so... uhh..." She scanned down her list of student's names, stopping when she was satisfied with her choice.
"Billy Batson. You two can work together!"
You couldn't and didn't even look in his direction, not wanting to see whatever reaction it was that he had to this bit of information. You also refused to look in order to hide your own response, absolutely sure your body would just rat you out with the glowing red of your cheeks or the nervous shake of your hands.
Although, you supposed that this was what you deserved for being picky in the first place. Now left with the unavoidable predicament of working with your year long hallway crush, you figured you might as well make the best of it. Besides, you didn't even know if he was...
If he was part of...
He didn't even give off that vibe if you were honest with yourself. And you couldn't draw on whether or not he'd, at the very least, even be an ally. What would crush you is if he wasn't. And what would kill you is if he was in the community and just not into you.
So your "best of it" was essentially just getting free, extra eye-candy, at the low, low price of doing some lame school project.
What could go wrong?
"Now, class, I want you all to really focus on working through this over your weekend! It's due Monday afternoon, and not a minute later, so I don't wanna hear any 'Oh, I didn't have the time...!' excuses!"
"Hey..."
You practically jumped out of your seat at the sudden greeting, not even processing that it was Billy's voice until you looked up to meet his emerald eyes.
God, had he always been that tall?
"Yeah, what's up?" Was your painfully played off "nonchalant" response, as if you weren't literally scrambling to gather your loose items together and hold eye contact at the same time.
"I know we could just do this online, or whatever, but I've never really been good at the whole research thing... so, d'you wanna just hang and do it at my place?"
You could only stare, like a deer caught in headlights at his invitation that had ceased any movements you were making to a full stop while the class continued to chatter in their boisterous cliques and groups.
"Huh...?"
"The project." Billy clarified, hoping he wasn't being too quiet for you to hear. He was aware of his tendency to pose as a little distant. Maybe even shy. But with you, he hoped to possibly strive for some sort of friendship outside of his siblings and goddesses (a.k.a. Anthea, unknowingly to the average citizen, of course). He was never around in a single place long enough to actually form a connection, and now that he had been, he figured being partnered up with one person rather than thrusted into a group seemed to be more his speed.
Plus, Billy was intrigued with you enough as it is, always catching your eyes staring into his before you'd quickly look away. Or whenever you'd pass him, there'd be a sudden tension he couldn't place that was gone just as fast it came. Weird, at first, which was what anyone would think. But later on, as spoken...
Intriguing.
"Oh, yeah. Sure, I can do that." You nodded, flushing away any previous anxieties while Billy's lips pulled into the tiniest of smiles.
"Cool. Just meet me outside when school let's out, we'll just walk."
And with that, he was heading back towards his desk, leaving you to anticipate the future events of this afternoon.
The bell rang. Last period...
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
It came and went, all thirty minutes of your eighth period class spent with your heart pounding outside against your ribcage and your palms sweating. You would've wiped the denim from your jeans away if it were possible, given how many times you'd run your hands against them. You couldn't even focus on the lesson, repeating in your head all of the things you could and should say and do.
Reminding yourself to act "normal" whatever that truly meant. It was times like these you struggled the most with being at peace with your identity. Technically, you were out. But it wasn't like everyone knew that, nor cared. And for those who did care, it was usually in a negative aspect that left you feeling isolated and abnormal.
But at the same time... you could be thinking about this all too deeply. It was just a harmless crush, and you knew nothing was likely to come of it. You relaxed yourself as you walked through the halls of Fawcett Central, knowing that whatever was meant to happen would. And that it wouldn't happen if you couldn't handle it.
Deep breaths. In, and out...
"Oh, so you're definitely (Y/N)...!"
You were taken aback by such a statement. Was it... obvious? Then again, who else would you be? But still-
"'Sup." You greeted with a head nod, the boy coated in blue returning it with an excited grin and a knowing point. You recognized him but couldn't place his name. A frequent target of the fraternal Breyer twins, the kid who was friends with superheroes, has a whole YouTube account dedicated to The Human Powerstorm...
"Y'know, Billy's been talking about you non-stop, and honeslty... I thought you'd be-"
"Shut up, Freddy..." Billy demanded though his teeth, sending his brother a nudge to the side.
Oh, there it is. That was his name.
. . .wait, what? Thought you'd be what...?!
"What, dude?! I was just gonna say I thought he'd be taller."
Oh, okay.
"We're the same height." Billy grumbled once more, rolling his eyes while you continued to stare. He stated a fact you didn't even realize, always having just assumed Billy was taller than you. But you supposed, now with the both of you standing, you were about the same height. Ideal for hugging.
You shook your head at the last thought, an intrusive one that made you grow hot at just the thought. Instead, you played it off as amusement, adding a shrug and a chuckle along with as you spoke up.
"It's fine, dude. It could be worse. We could be getting mistaken for sixth graders."
There was a pause in the air, the brothers staring until Freddy's smirk grew into a genuine (and... unique) laugh.
"I like this guy!" Was his announcement, throwing an arm around your shoulders. "I totally get why you two got paired up, now."
"Right..."
Billy seemed a little less than enthusiastic about the statement, but only because he'd wished Freddy would remove his arm from around you. He didn't know you like that, and he was already praying things wouldn't be awkward. Especially with his family.
Not that... Billy himself knew you that well, either. Regardless, he stared daggers and was only back to feeling content when Freddy finally dropped it and turned the conversation to the both of you rather than simply bombarding you with a million different questions.
Not that you minded, simply enjoying the walk to their house and seeing this as an opportunity to make new friends, get closer to more people. Certain people. Plus, Freddy's constant sly jokes eased your nerves, making it easy for you to use them as a launchpad in talking to Billy. He was happy to reciprocate whenever he could, but still remained somewhat reserved.
Neither you nor Freddy could truly place why, exactly. But it didn't last long as you approached their large home, yourself gazing up at it while the brothers entered ahead.
"Fair warning, my siblings are... I dunno, they're insane. So just, like... ignore them." Was Billy's slightly ominous warning, which left you to laugh in the slightest in understanding.
"Sure thing."
Your one instructed task to ignore his family was something you failed at almost instantly. How could you when one was cushions deep into the couch, yelling at his switch? Another hurriedly sweeping piles of confetti under a rug in hopes for her mess not to be seen. Two more arguing who gets to pick the next song while Freddy was quick to join the chaos, wandering in between them as if he were the true mediator of the bunch.
And then, the oldest two adults in the house, which you assumed had to be the parents, came into view in hopes to reorganize the child-ridden living room. The perfect chance for Billy to slip you by and upstairs to his room. No one noticing, no one stopping the two of you and causing a scene about the whole ordeal...
"C'mon, let's go." The brunette whispered, eagerly letting you walk ahead as if he were almost trying to push you up the steps.
"Oh, hey, kiddo! How was school?"
"Billy, who's your friend?"
Shit.
"Oh, he's-... We're just partners for a school thing, it's...not a big deal."
Rosa didn't believe that not one bit. Well, the school project made total sense, but the way she watched her son fidget around you nervously and refused to make eye contact, for fear of showing off the red glow of his cheeks, made it evident his feelings resided in hopes of being much more than "school partners".
Victor, on the other hand, thought nothing of it. Elated at the fact that such a partnership could breed new grounds for a potential friendship outside of someone already living in the house. He just needed to instill some much needed confidence and encouragement into his son, and all would be well.
"Ah! I remember those days...!" Victor sighed fondly. "You boys just let me know if you need any help. I happen to know my way around a marker and some glitter, courtesy of Darla."
"Dad, no, please..." Billy began, Darla peaking her head from around the corner of the den at the mention of her name.
"It's just research, we'll be fine."
"I actually... don't mind glitter..." You spoke up with a smile, already amused with the dynamics going on around you. But a quick glance in Billy's direction made you shrug, his joking glare meeting your (E/C) eyes, causing your opinion to change.
"But just research is fine, too."
"Of course." Victor nodded, turning and gesturing towards the boy in blue. He had regretfully gotten himself in the middle of Pedro and Mary's playlist argument, trying his very hardest to play "Keep Away" with the iPod held high above his head and waving it around wildly to avoid snatches and grabs. It was only when he heard his name that he paused, Mary taking the opportunity to yank the device away as he stared.
"Freddy is the one you go to for that. Or Mary, but I think she's busy."
"Well, good thing he has me." Billy retorted, a murmur that was laced with irritation and yet still caused the heat to rise to your cheeks. If you were already this flustered at simple and more than likely meaningless words and slight glances, you didn't have a clue as to how you were going to make it through the next couple of hours.
But, you weren't really left with much of an option, Rosa swift to intervene as she ushered you two away and up the stairs.
"Why don't you two just go on and get started. I'll just check on you later and bring snacks or something, okay? Okay, have fun!"
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
Though Billy thought "fun" was near impossible given the circumstances, he wasn't shocked at the fact that your presence was making this all a little more bearable.
A lot more bearable, quickly discovering and admiring how efficient you were with your half of the project. Researching and rewording information seemed to be an ease for you, so much so that you were even able to multitask. Holding an entire conversation with Billy about something completely unrelated while leaving him to focus on the more visually appealing, creative bit of the presentation.
Of course, bliss would never last for as long as he'd hoped, Freddy consistently trying to barge in and join in on the bonding or offering uneeded advice. To both of you, on what should go where and what should be said about your school project. And to Billy, separately, his brother having already assumed the most intense of interests you could have in another person; a crush.
Or when Rosa would pop her head in, ever so curious as to what the two of you were up to, seeing if you were hungry and whatnot. As well as to shoot Billy knowing glances and encouraging thumbs up.
He would brush away the both of them, further amusing you and raising your hopes up in the matter that maybe Billy wasn't just eyecandy. That maybe you really did have a chance, if you played your cards just right. But, you also figured maybe right now wasn't the time. The circumstances incorrect.
'Just work on being his friend, first.' You thought. 'Don't blow it before you even have a chance.'
Even with such self-instruction, it was still hard. Hard to just want to be Billy's friend when everything that happened between the two of you insinuated more. At least, that's what you thought whenever your hands would lightly brush up against one another's. Sharing a pencil and notebook, or simply just because you were sat too close to one another.
Or when when one of you would enthusiastically keep the side conversation going, and then hurriedly look away to avoid such intense eye contact. Shy, the both of you, even though there was seemingly no reason to be. You even found it endearing when Billy would go through the trouble to kick Freddy and Rosa out of the room, away from the scene. Rejecting their offers of snacks or help, just for him to turn around and ask/say things like, "Are you hungry? I could get you something real quick." "Oh, don't worry, I can do that, you don't have to..." right afterwards.
"What, is that a band or something?" Was his next question. Although, this one wasn't as endearing and silly, or grounds for a new topic. No, this one... this one shocked you. Visibly.
"No, it's not a band!" You exclaimed through a chuckle of disbelief. "It's a movie! You've...never seen 'Stand By Me'?"
"No...?" He answered, more in tone of a question while your jaw dropped further to the ground, if possible.
"Never??"
"...Should I have?"
You disregarded it, the both of you now chuckling awkwardly seeing as he wouldn't be able to understand your reference anyway. And yet, you were curious to know what he had seen. Maybe you two would have a familiar favorite in common. Prerequisite for a friendship to thrive, of course. Totally not you just wanting to know everything about him.
"IT?"
"It, what?"
"No, the movie." You laughed. "IT."
Billy looked away, thinking for a moment and then answering the moment his green eyes shifted back to you.
"Didn't that just come out not that long ago?"
"What? Dude- No." You sighed. "First of all, it dropped in 2017, so no, it didn't just come out. And second, I'm talking about the original one. You know, Jonathan Brandis, all of them..."
"I don't... keep up... who?" Billy stammered, urging you to explain a little deeper.
"Seth Green... Tim Curry... these are well-known people, man."
Apparently not, silence clouding over the two of you as Billy shrugged lazily, smiling to himself, wishing he had a clue what you were talking about. Although he enjoyed hearing you ramble, he wished he could participate a little more. Harder than he thought, realizing he never spent much time on pop culture until, what...? Late fifteen?
He couldn't be blamed for that, could he? He was new to this. He only had three years of experience being an actual, semi-normsl teenager!
"Okay, fine, whatever." You huffed, mocking offense to his uncultured ways. "There's no way you haven't seen 'Breakfast Club', though."
"Uh, way." He sassed with another awkward chuckle, leaving your eyes to go wide in incredulity. "What is that? Do they have a club where they talk about breakfast? Like-"
"No, it's about-... Oh my god, bro, do you live under a rock?"
Sharing a loud laugh, both at his words and the ridiculousness of not having seen (in your opinion) such a masterpiece, you threw more to the table in rapid fire. Lightning round.
"Back To The Future."
"Nah."
"Gremlins."
"Mm-mm."
"Honey, I Shrunk The Kids."
"Sounds lame."
"Ignoring that. E.T."
"That's the one with the kids and the bikes, right? With that alien?"
"Yes!" You hissed in excitement. But seconds after, it struck you. You had to be sure...
"Wait, was it on Netflix?"
"Yeah."
You huffed. E.T. was not on Netflix.
"That's 'Stranger Things', Billy..."
"Nuh-uh." He shook his head. "Mary and Freddy are watching that together, and I refuse to give in to the hype. It wasn't a show, either. It was a movie."
"Earth to Echo..." You sighed, and he nodded quickly, giving an excited point and a smile in your direction.
"Yeah, that's it!"
"Dude..." You trailed, pinching the bridge of your nose before throwing out one last suggestion. He had to have seen this one.
"Goonies."
"Okay, now you're just making stuff up." Billy smirked, turning his attention back to the laptop while noises you couldn't even name if you wanted to left your lips.
"...!! You're literally wearing a shirt for it! Like, deadass merch on your body, right now."
Billy looked down, tugging at his gray T-shirt and looking almost shocked to see the word 'Goonies' written in its iconic font.
"I... just liked the pattern, man. I didn't know it was a movie."
And when he looked back up to meet your narrowed eyes, filled with a sudden determination he could recognize from the many times Freddy or Darla possessed the exact same look... he knew he was in for it.
"Unexceptable."
The laptop was whisked away from his arms into yours, your fingers expertly moving at a fast pace to Google, typing in a website you used to pirate watch movies for free. He watched, intrigued when you typed in the name of the movie on his shirt and hit play.
"What about the project?"
"Trust me, your knowledge on some of the greatest teen films of all time is much more important than some random facts on ancient Greece."
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
You were right, Billy found, having thoroughly enjoyed 'Goonies'. As well as 'Karate Kid', 'Super 8', and right now, half of 'Weird Science'. He also noticed another fact, one of which he voiced to you under the light of the computer screen. The only light in the room, minus some coming from the hallway through the cracked door, seeing as the sun had gone down.
"You're really into the whole... eighties scene, huh?"
"Eighties, nineties, early two-thousands..." You trailed, your eyes glued to the screen as Billy's returned.
"I fuck with it." Billy nodded in approval.
"You'd better." You scoffed, playfully nudging him with your shoulder. "These are literal works of art, I don't know how you missed them."
"I wasn't alive when half- No, all of these came out, (N/N)."
You felt the heat rise from your chest to your cheeks at a sudden nickname he had given you. It was the one thing that had finally brought you out of your nostalgic trance, seeing how nighttime plagued the room and how close you two had remained for so much time. Reminiscing on moments that had happened mere hours ago during the other movies. Deep dive talks, laughter, even more light touches you fought yourself to ignore.
Even now, your leg pressed up against his. Should you move it? Had it always been there? Maybe you shouldn't move it if it's been there the whole time. It'd be sudden and weird. Or maybe your leg up against his was already weird, and he was just being polite about it, not saying anything.
Oh shit. You hadn't said anything, either.
"Yeah, well, neither was I, and I still found a way."
"That's 'cause you're weird."
Your head whipped towards him at such a nonchalant statement, and though your brain was screaming at you to play it off in some way...
...Ignore it, act like you didn't hear it, take it as a joke...
"In a good way." He added swiftly, meeting your eyes that were full of offense, but now softening into flatterment while all that left you was a small, "Oh." sound.
"I like being aro- Hanging out with you. You're-... It's cool. Like, I like you, y'know?"
Billy fixing his words to sound more... "acceptable" didn't at all change the meaning of them. Not when his tone was filled with complete adulation for you. When he could barely push it out in more than a whispered volume, and certainly not when his eyes were blown as they scanned each and every feature on your face. Not shamelessly, though. It was more of a subconscious act that he couldn't help, now that he was finally given the chance under less than preferred lighting.
You couldn't miss any such signals if you tried.
"I like you, too." You responded, your lips curving into a tiny smile with attempts to find the words that matched his own. To convey everything you wanted to tell him and more, because you knew "I like you" just isn't enough. It was too vague, too... simple. It could mean everything, but it could also mean nothing. And, natrually, you wanted it to mean something.
Something like...
. . .
Something like not regret, even though that's what you felt immediately after you had pushed your lips onto his. If anything, you hadn't thought you could scramble away from someone faster while seated in a chair (at least, not without falling on the floor) until you did it successfully, just now. Regret festered into shame in mere seconds, and word-vomit was coming up, and out of your throat before you could stop it.
"Fuck, dude. Shit, I'm so sorry, I don't know why I-... I mean, I do, but it wasn't- I should've...asked? I don't know, I just, I-..."
"No, no, no, it's fine, don't worry about it."
'Don't worry about it? Was that a gold thing or a bad thing? As in, just forget it ever happened? Impossible, nope. This whole thing is ruined forever, there is no "forget about it," that's. . . Or like, as in it was cool and he wanted it...? Or, at least, liked it, I don't know. Oh my god, I'm gonna kill my-'
Billy clearing his throat brought you out of your head, and back into the deafening silence that caved over the two of you. Torture, really, the only word you could find to describe the whole ordeal until you found yourself apologizing again.
"Billy, I'm sorry that I-... Y'know..."
"I told you, it's fine." He shrugged, having not even taken his eyes off of the screen. Not... the best sign, although it became clear he had more to say as he looked down into his lap.
"I've, um... never been kissed before. So I just..." He laughed. "Was I any good?"
"You... What?"
Well, now you were just hopelessly lost, aside from being a hopeless romantic. Billy could practically sense the cogs turning in your head, from one, "Did I just steal his first kiss?" cog, to the "Wait, he's gay, too?!" cog, to the-
"You knew??!" Billy laughed at your exclamation, watching as you covered your face and shook your head in full embarrassment. Your repetition of the words going muffled by your palms.
"Oh my fucking god, you knew..."
"If it makes you feel any better," Billy started, gently prying your hands away in order to see you. Or to show off those stupid adorable dimples he had whenever he smiled. Probably both. "Not right away."
"When'd you clock it?" You asked, curiosity getting the better of you as he moved himself so that he was back to being as close as possible to you.
"Right after 'Super 8'."
"Damn."
You thought you would've relaxed by now, free of the feelings, free of the closet, and the emotional turmoil that came with both. But with Billy's palm against the side of your face, bringing you in for more light pecks, you thought that maybe you'd slip into a heart attack or grow faint with how dizzy you were.
"OH MY GOD?!"
Scratch all that. It was now all back to panic and stress again as the two of you actually fell out of your seats this time trying to get away from each other, quickly looking towards the door to find Freddy's eyes near bulging out of his skull while Rosa struggled to keep her mouth covered with her hand. Hiding a wide grin.
"SORRY, sorry, our bad, we'll just-!" Victor stammered, throwing his hand up in an awkward wave, trying his best to shut the door with his wife and Freddy in the way.
"We just wanted to check in, carry on...!"
"We didn't see anything!" Rosa nearly squealed, having clearly seen everything as Pedro was quick and last to add, "You're gay, too?!"
The slam of the door triggered your burst into laughter, Billy struggling to pull himself together.
"Dude, you-..." Your gut laughs cut you off, practically gasping for air in between each giggle while he could only shake his head, glaring at the floor.
"I'm gonna kill my-"

Idk bout y'all, but I love this fr. Like... I kinda sorta maybe based it off of a friend's experience (not to a T, I actually changed up a lot), but I still think that makes it all the more genuine.
Plus, a lot of the writing/thoughts are thoughts I've had my damnself dealing with my own sexuality and identity and whatnot (I'm Bisexual and Polyamorous), so it really just...
I'm proud. Of myself, of this imagine, of you all out there who are proud to be who you are, and I want you to know that you aren't alone. Because even if you only have one person on this planet who supports and loves you, just know that it's me (and Moon, ofc, so that's technically two).
DMs are always open, happy pride month, and I love you all so, so much🫶🏽💞.

Damn last time I posted here I said I'd see you the next evening but now I'm here 3 days later. Sorry about that XD
Life really will screw you over like that.
Anyways, now to the points...

"Also I agree with the user, show proof or shut your mouth you dumbass." Lol that sure is ironic, considering the fact you give no proof of any of the claims in your post, especially when I know the stuff about Club and Tri is wrong, and you're also supporting the Probium person when all they do is scream baseless slander and isn't even brave enough to fully admit they're against Club, when it's obvious they are. Probium, very much like you, doesn't want to hear anyone but themself and spouts whatever bullshit they want. (And I'm not sure what pronouns Probium uses, so I'm just gonna use they/them for them for now. If someone informed me what pronouns they use, that'd be helpful. Bc I'm not gonna unblock them just to check lol.)

Nah the reason he was banned is bc you petty losers mass-reported him, smh. "I wont mention they are for their safety" You only care about their safety when they're on your side, hm? "Cuz tri twat stalks this blog like the petty bitch she is." Uhh no??? You're the ones who harassed her and the reason why her and everyone else against you looks at your blog is bc we want to prove your shit wrong and stop you. Keep crying over people defending themselves, lol. " those rp journals have been deleted, alongside his ‘pushing his special needs agenda woa is me boo hoo’ journals." Special needs agenda?? HELPPP these people are making up the new "gAy AgEnDA" over their bigotry LMAOOO. "Dont bother coming back, we will always be watching," Honey you can't say that then tell me you aren't creepy, obsessive stalkers lol. "WE WON." Yeahhh no you didn't, Club's friends, such as me, will always support him and remember him fondly. I'm still on DA and contributing to his group and also speaking up for him here, and you can't do nothing about it. Club also has amazing friends who miss him and still want to talk to him. And despite how big you talk, there's nothing you can do about it. It's pathetic.

Ain't no way DADramaNow expects Club to be able to identify every single one of Sam's THOUSANDS of alts lmao. How the Hell is someone ALWAYS supposed to know???
0 notes
Lol here's an instance of DADramaNow attacking a kid just bc he's friends with Club, and also calling him a "pedo in training"?? Ew. "hey robert, if ya hate pedos, why ya hanging with club pedoverse? " Hmm maybe bc he's not a pedophile?? And once again, if Club WAS a manipulator and groomer, that would be fucking horrible to blame and attack the kids for being manipulated. Face it DADramaNow, you aren't the good guy either way.

Proof, lol? And remember sweetie, screenshots don't count!! <3

Tbh I wouldn't want to be in those groups anyways if they believed your ableist bullshit.
Anyways that's enough for now, I'll HOPEFULLY be here again tomorrow evening, bye Tri!
Looks like those criticizing our existence just want leverage, as always.

And yeah, I really don't have anything good to say about my last job. The people at that place are actual garbage.
During Pumpkin fest, the owner's daughter was in the kitchen going on a tirade about "gay people can do whatever they want, but I'm not teaching my children that way" and comparing gay people to furries and saying they wanted everyone to drink out of dog bowls.
One time, she came in with all her kids, and her middle boy dropped a spoon on the floor. I said I was going to get a new one and she said "no, you'll use THAT one" and made him use the spoon he dropped on the floor. This was during covid, right before everyone went into lockdown.
The general manager there is actually a nightmare and no one likes her, working with her every day is hard for every person there.
But the reason I left was because they started making everyone split tables of ten, had people share tips regularly, had a 20% (of alcohol sales) bar tipout (there were nights I would owe the bar $40), you would have to pay money out of pocket for tip-outs because they put all of our tips on our checks to tax us more, and started hiring inexperienced kids and forcing everyone to have sections with four tables in them. That place screws their servers, you make basically no money there. It wasn't always like that, but I should have left that place years ago because you can make more money at any place in other towns.
Also, all of our dishwashers were over eighteen at the time and I never dated, saw, slept with, or even hung out with any of them.
I don't even think I had anyone that wasn't a server on my snap, aside from Bean, who I've also never been with in any romantic or sexual way. He also wasn't a dishwasher. We had a snap group of employees, and I deleted a majority of them when I quit because they're kinda irrelevant. We only had each other on there to communicate for work, trade shifts, etc.
What I did do was get this dude named Jimmy fired for offering Bean coke at work. Kinda pissed me off. Learned later the dude and his girlfriend are pretty known to SA women at events. Piece of shit guy. That's what I originally messaged Jasper about, when he started telling me about his negative experiences with you.
But I went ahead and saved those comments your mom made, because making claims like that is actually illegal. That's a pretty serious thing for her to be saying, and putting her hands on people is pretty deserving of jail time, in my opinion. The stupidity of saying any of that is insane, because how old all of our employees were when they worked there is provable by records.
Actually, in the four years I wasn't with my current partner I didn't really want anyone to even touch me. I dated one person for six months in 2021 and it was platonic the entire time. Never even had sex. I had a pretty severe aversion to sex for a really long time, for reasons I've already talked about.
I even consulted a doctor about it and went to counseling for about a year. It would be on record, I'm sure.

New garage doors, 5/n
Friends came over this afternoon, so I only had a couple of hours. But the doors must be done!
It’s hinge time. Hinges are recessed for extra strength, which means recessing them into the door frame. They used to chisel the pockets by hand, but now we have power tools!
But first, measuring them. I’m using a trick called a “story stick”, which is literally a strip of wood the same size as the door. I’ll mark the locations of the hinges on the stick, and then transfer from that to each door as well as the garage frame. That way I know the placements are identical in all four cases. For the frame, I’ll shim the stick up a touch so the doors don’t scrape the ground. Three pictures, worth three thousand words?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, always label the side of the mark you care about - otherwise you’ll flip something over. Trust me, been there done that...
With the door marked for hinges, I need to route the pockets. I don’t have steady enough hands to do that manually. If I’d used actual lumber a chisel would be an option, but trying that on plywood would be nasty to the chisel. Instead, it’s router time. We’re going to use a pattern bit and a jig. Start by marking the width of the hinge on a strip of plywood:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then trim that piece off and cut two more to make a U. Glue is fine for this, since it’s not going to be under a lot of pressure. The vertical piece is just to keep it flat - the clamps were bending things into a curve.
Tumblr media
A quick break while the glue dries... and time to set up the router! For the windows I also used a bearing guided bit, but one with the bearing at the end. This has the bearing in the middle:
Tumblr media
and I can get the depth of the bit to the thickness of the ply plus the thickness of the hinge. Plus, let’s be honest, a hair more just to be sure. This is with the router very, very unplugged. Fingers! Yikes!
Tumblr media
Glue’s dried by now on my hinge jig, but it needs one more piece - a fence to get the depth right. I used another scrap piece of plywood edge on so that it would work with the trim on the garage part. The hole is now exactly the same size as a leaf of the hinge. One side is effectively open, but that’s fine - that’s the edge of the door.
Tumblr media
Router time! Just drop the jig on the edge of the door and align the marks. I used an air nailer to tack the jig down so it doesn’t slide around. Clamps also work, or screws, or in a pinch tape - but nails are easy and you just pull them out later.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ugh. Plywood sawdust smells terrible. And it gets everywhere. There’s really no way to collect the sawdust in a case like this.
One little problem (well, technically, two). Any guesses? 
Tumblr media
Yep! That’s why hinges have rounded corners, but the ones I got (McMaster Carr, what a great place) have square corners. This is easy enough to fix with a hammer and chisel.
But wait, I said I wasn’t using a chisel on plywood because it’ll wreck the edge! Yeah, but this is tiny...
Tumblr media
*sob* my poor chisel.
Okay, next up - drilling the hinge holes. I used to do this by hand, marking the center of each screw hole and trying to get the bit to go straight in. Then I discovered a “self centering drill bit”, which has a hollow cylinder that surrounds a spring-loaded drill bit. These things are amazing! The cylinder centers on the hole in the hinge leaf and the drill bit starts the hole. Perfectly centered holes, no mistakes.
