#simba is my dog's name btw

[lightwing-s]

A girl with a service dog catches Jason’s eye, but he’s got to win over the girl and her dog, and the dog isn’t too sure about him

Jason noticed you every day during his morning run, always sitting on the same bench at the park, your dog at your feet, ready to assist at the mere sign of danger. Unfortunately for Jason, he seemed to think he was dangerous to you.

He had tried talking to you before, but as he got close to your bench, as you were distracted by the loud music on your earphones, the dog would always stand up, watching him like Jason meant any danger to its owner.

This happened every time, and he was getting out of ideas to get close to you. He had tried bringing it gifts, food even, but your dog remained faithfully aware of its and your surroundings, ready to keep the danger (Jason) away.

So this time, he decided to just watch. Not like a creep, but just observe you while he took a precisely timed break right in front of you. The dog, as usual, noticed him straight away, rising from his laying position to sit tightly at your feet. However, this time something different happened.

As the dog sat there, staring threateningly at Jason, you noticed his changing demeanor, placing a marker on your book and closing it to give the pup your full attention. 

Jason found joy at the interaction, fresh like a new episode of his favorite show. He watched you play with the dog's ears, and leave pecks on its head. And then you looked up, staring straight at him, and he choked on his water. Recollecting himself, he saw you give him a wave, giving him enough confidence to walk your way.

As he got close, he could hear the growling of your dog getting louder.

“Simba, relax.” you cooed, caressing his head. You moved slightly to the side, giving Jason some space to sit beside you.

“Hi!” he greeted once he reached you, extending his hands for you to shake. Your touch was cold, frail, and you quickly retracted it to rest on your lap. “I’m Jason. I always see you around whenever I’m on a run around here.”

“Yeah, I’ve noticed…”you told him, timidly looking down at your dog to avoid his face. Jason found it adorable. “… you running past, sometimes I mean.”

“Oh, really?” he questioned, a smirk growing on his face. “Well, I’m certain your dog sure has noticed me before. I think he hates me.”

Laughing a little at his joke, you pet your dog once more, its chin resting on your legs, aware of your rapidly beating heart. “I’m sure he doesn’t, he just gets worried when I get nervous.”

The words came out of your lips without a second thought, and your head snapped up, your cheeks burned red, and Jason’s smirk only got larger.

“Well, how can I help you get less nervous?”

“I have no idea.” you answered shyly.

“Perhaps I can help you over dinner? Friday, 7pm?” he suggested, his heart now the one beating faster, going way off beat of its usual rhythm, and he wished your dog could calm him as well.

“Perhaps.”

blogmas, 2017.

december 1st, 2017. P first Christmas

december 2nd, 2017. Omg please do more Persephone and jack for blogmas!! I am in love with them. Maybe something where jack and P are out shopping and they split up in a department store and Jack starts walking around and looking at engagement rings and H and the missus go over and have a little chit chat with him?

december 3rd, 2017. Maybe at Christmas Eve after being with H and his family for a couple of days the whole Styles family and the missus would be sitting under the Christmas tree and opening presents. There would be a little box with the name of our lady and inside of it there would be a promise ring and Harry would be the cutey he is and go up to the missus and tell her a little monologue then put the ring on her finger.

december 4th, 2017. Harry and the miss being best friends and he takes her home to celebrate Christmas and he takes her virginity on Christmas Eve.

december 5th, 2017. Harry and the missus and the kids spending Christmas at a vacation

december 7th, 2017. Alfies first xmas

december 8th, 2017. Oh but imagine harry giving his girlfriend a border collie or rough collie or a husky puppy (i love) for Christmas because she had dogs her whole life but now she’s away from home and miss them so he surprises her with one amd she’s crying (I would cry so much) but then she’s like “oh no I can’t have her at my flat :(” so he tells her to look closely and there is a key to his house around the puppy’s neck

december 10th, 2017. I just love the idea of them having a brand new baby around Christmas time

december 11th, 2017. btw, you should write one a about Uni Harry and Y/N spending Christmas with Y/N’s family for the first time and him begin all awkward at the begging and everybody asking them how they met and what his goals in life are and yeah I think that’d be reallyyyyyy cute

december 13th, 2017. Set in 2017. The missus Amelie and Harry spend Christmas with Gemma and Anne and Michal at Anne’s Home x

december 15th, 2017. for blogmas or regular hazza begs for a date night after one of the baby is born like 1 year old

december 17th, 2017. How about the missus and Harry spend Christmas at her home and Anne is really sad

december 18th, 2017. Maybe one where Darcy tells the family she is pregnant on Christmas Day after all the struggles she’s been through?

*

blogmas, 2018.

december 1st, 2018. someone else mentioned pubes talk, and I thought it would be hilarious if Harry was trying to do something romantic like cooking a Christmas Eve meal but naked and there was singe-ing (not singing!).

december 2nd, 2018. Are you doing Alex requests for Blogmas? If so, maybe his and Y/N’s first Christmas together since the war and he decides to propose to her?

december 3rd, 2018. what about pornstar harry making a festive christmas special w y/n?

december 4th, 2018. What if the missus gives Harry a gift on December 1st and it’s like an advent calendar but each day is a new position/place to have sex up until Christmas.

december 5th, 2018. Could you do maybe a sadder one after Ellie and Alfie’s miscarriage and for Christmas they all cheer him up

december 6th, 2018. Maybe they’re in la for Christmas one year because of Harry’s work when Persephone is like 4 and she’s missing the snow and does like being away from the UK for Christmas and harry just feels really bad like he ruined Christmas

december 8th, 2018. Did doctor harry having to work on Christmas

december 9th, 2018. First Christmas together and Harry is under the weather trying to act healthy.

december 10th, 2018. angst should be best friend harry! where they get in a fight about her flirting and being with someone else at a christmas party when she already kinda had an “unsaid” thing with harry where they’re friends with benefits but she didn’t know how he really felt plssss uGh

Early connections, part 1

Music: Quiet’s Theme from MGS5 (I almost soulbonded her and I am trying to reclaim that connection for a full bond)

I didn’t actually become a soulbonder until I was 13 years old (10 years and 10 months ago is when I met my guardians and became a full soulbonder, to be precise). In the years leading up to then, though, I had always found my own little ways to try to connect with the game worlds that I felt so much more at home in. 

Surrounded by Overwatch ladies atm while typing this. Hi girls ilu <3 

This started pretty much as soon as I got my first videogame. I was 6. It was a SNES. I played lots of Mario games on it. For some reason, I never felt a very strong connection to the Mario games. I still don’t, and they aren’t reachable to me, soulbond-wise. Shortly after that I got my first Pokemon games on the GBC. I was much more open to this world than I was to that one. But at the same time, 6-year-old me with her Super Mario RPG (my first videogame was a SQUARE game. Think of how much influence Square games ended up having on me with FF, KH, and Tomb Raider) was just so receptive to these characters in a way she had never been receptive to the world that was apparently “her own.” This world? I was just born into...yet it was a terrifying, confusing place where nobody seemed too willing to accept me. But that game world, that carefully constructed, artistically designed game world where everything made perfect sense and where everyone and everything was able to be understood? Where every character seemed to understand me as the player just as much as I understood them? Seemed natural. I found so much comfort in those first games. I would be Mario. I would do something, and Mario would do what I did as if it made perfect sense. The other characters--the Toads, the princess, Mallow--would react to what I did, as if it made perfect sense to them. They never did anything I did not expect. I never did anything THEY did not expect. We all learned together, me and Mario and Mallow and the Toads and the Princess. 

I had mentioned in an earlier post I can’t be arsed to dig up right now that as young as 3 or 4 years old, I felt more of a connection to the beings behind the screen than I did to anybody in the world I was born into. There was Aladdin and Jasmine, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, Simba and Nala. I’d speak to the Disney Princesses through the TV screen. “Hi, Jasmine! Hi, Ariel! It’s me! It’s me, Star!” (I used my real name back then, obviously.) I can’t think of a 3 or 4 year old who didn’t do this or something like it. I can’t think of a 3 or 4 year old who didn’t play with Ariel, or with Simba and Nala, or with Jasmine and Aladdin. I would never have thought this to be an early form of proto-soulbonding. If it wasn’t for the fact that Jasmine, Simba, Nala, etc hadn’t been my closest, most familiar, and only friends at that age, I would have thought nothing of it. If it wasn’t for the fact that I felt more connected to Aladdin and Jasmine than I ever did to anybody in the world I was born with at that young age. If it wasn’t for the fact that my peers were like foreign aliens to me, but Cinderella and Aurora seemed more familiar to me than any of my so-called “friends” at preschool had been, I wouldn’t have thought this to be a connection to another world at all. I was 4.

It’s possible that this is why I’m so close to Disneyworld, my favorite place in THIS world, now. 

I got my first videogame when I was 6, but I didn’t really start my entrance in to the universes of gaming till I was 8. I also discovered Final Fantasy then (FF10 came out that year), but waved it off at that young age (it makes me wonder if I hadn’t have waved it off, could I have ended up soulbonding much earlier? If so, I’m gonna go back in time and slap my 8-year-old self because GD it, I needed my soulbonds back then more than ever. Seriously just wanna take my past self, plop her in front of FF10, and say “YOU SEE THAT GAME? YOU SEE THOSE CHARACTERS? SEE THEM? THAT IS YOUR FAMILY. GO TO THEM.”). Life was all about Zelda, Link, Banjo, Kazooie, and Kirby. Link was my second real crush, after Mewtwo (I was 7 and weird). My days were spent thinking about what they were doing, fantasizing imaginary adventures for Link and the others to go through in their off times from the games. These were essentially unwritten fanfictions, but the characters in these unwritten fanfictions were my only summer playmates. Music on the radio became the soundtracks to these fics. Long car rides were spent inventing feature-length movies and hour-long TV blocks about Link and Zelda. Summer days were spent exploring “Click Clock Wood” and “Rusty Bucket Bay” with Banjo and Kazooie. This is when I really started to draw closer to my machines. My computer and game consoles, after all, were my only gateway to Banjo and Kazooie’s world at the time. Besides the “unwritten fanfics” in my mind, I had no way to reach them, or to reach Hyrule, or to reach Johto and Kanto. And these worlds did not confuse me, frighten me, or distress me in any of the ways “my” world, the so-called “real” world, did. Nothing made me cry there. In the “real world” I cried all the time. Everyone accepted me and welcomed me with open arms, everytime I would go back to those worlds through my games or through my “headspace.” Nobody acted like it was unnatural for me to be there...unlike in the “real world” where pretty much everybody, even my own family, did. I felt comfort there that I had never felt in my entire life, and honestly, I think my early access to the game world was the only reason I even knew that things like “comfort,” “love,” “friendship,” and “happiness” were even things that existed. I started to form the type of familial connections with these characters at that early age that I eventually formed in full 5 years later when soulbonding began (before I knew it as called soulbonding btw). These characters were who I woke up to every morning and who sent me to bed every night. These characters taught me that things like “victory,” “strength,” “courage,” “triumph,” and “persistence” were real things that existed. I know that they were  trying to teach me that good people existed and that it was possible for me to be one of these good people. Unfortunately, living in such a dog-eat-dog world where everything seemed an attack, I wasn’t able to get that message at that young age. But I knew that good people existed. I saw them behind  the screens every day. And I wished with all my heart, way back then, that I knew how to get them to come out of the screens...

Who would’ve known that 5 years later, I would finally manage that? And completely on accident, too. 

(Link and Zelda became soulbonds in October of 2006, the first of many other Zelda characters. I now have Lana and Linkle waiting in the To Be Possibly Soulbonded queue!) 

PS: Because I know I’m gonna get a whole bunch of jack-offs telling me “your parents should’ve banned you from computers” or “your parents should’ve taken you outside and forbid you to look at anything with a screen when they saw this happening,” bear in mind that if they had done this (and sometimes they did), I would have, and DID, react like a child being forcibly pried away from her mother. I would hope that I gave you some perspective on just how much I saw these worlds as my own, on just how much I saw these characters as my only family and only friends. So yeah, “just take the computers/games away from the kid and make her go out and socialize” did not work. It would not have worked. It would’ve done nothing but cause me and everyone else around me severe distress. You try prying a child away from her family, placing her in front of some strange people, then going “NOW GO PLAY! :D SOCIALIZE! TALK TO THEM! :D” and see how that poor child reacts. Or rather don’t. Because that would be monstrous. That’s exactly how it would have been for me. Feel free to fantasize about other ways my parents/teachers/etc could have tortured an 8-year-old in the guise of “helping” her, though if that’s how you roll. 

And also I did go outside. I had to, or else I couldn’t have had fantastic adventures running around “Click Clock Wood” and ���Gerudo Valley” and chasing after “Link,” could I? In fact, I fucking loved outside. When I wasn’t in front of my screens, I was outside. Kind of like now.
