happy pride mont
Well I guess I could share some drawings since usually I just dogpile everything I want to say into 1 post and don’t necessarily have room for the art which is sad.
So I decided for pride month I’ll just dogpile some of my art that I haven’t shown here relating to my favorites from hxh kind of being like those 60 color packs of crayons.
I draw kind of like a crazy guy and I have a fair bit of art so I’ll make a cut off line to not clog...
Btw so I dont jumpscare you the art is of Izunavi and Giuliano, Shalnark and Chrollo, & Muherr and hehe a not canon character (In that order)
Hehe i just have some portraits of Izu for fun here not necessarily ship or anything related but I just wanted to share them Since I made them a while ago and he looks very nice:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok but it gets a little gay here so urm: Happy pride moth:
Tumblr media
I made this one because I wanted them to have a happy life that I knew they could never have!!!!!!
Tumblr media
I made this one because THEY BOTH LOOKED SO GOOFY IN THAT ONE PANEL THAT I HAD TO REMAKE IT I COULDNT DO IT
Tumblr media
just a funny little drawing for fun that I stayed up a little too late making 1 time because these guys just kind of carry me away..
Tumblr media
On valentines day I was having a rlly bad time a really bad day and everything and then I made these guys and everything was better 
MS PAINT BRO
Tumblr media
I made this one in ms paint and it makes me so happy man... I have it as my background screen on my computer rn i didn’t intend for this drawing to bang so hard but also I kind of drew it intending for it to be like the only house that’s not on fire yet because that’s a song that’s perfect for these guys hear me out
Tumblr media
I made that one at like 2 am and yes it was to this song and to me it is objectively about these guys
I guess it could be a projection bc i just wanted to squeeze that guy bc hes just so funny and silly and I love these guys and giuliano is just like me for real so it’s fine 
I care about them a lot man I even made an article on the shipping wiki for them because I uhhh I uh help I urm
I have... another one that I ALSO made an article for... and it brings me extreme distress as well as extreme joy
we have our 2nd place to Shalkuro :100:
I have a lot of art for it I’ll make a post for it one day I swear and it will be insane in length because I really need help man ... If izugiuli is my comfort ship this is the REASON why I need comfort
proceeds to show harmless nice little drawings:
Tumblr media
I saw that trend everywhere so this is a rlly recent drawing but I made them with the barbie and ken because I... well come on... its literally perfect okay
Tumblr media
gooberish little drawing because i was bored
Tumblr media
THIS WAS A REDRAW OF A GOOFY GARTIC PHONE DRAWING MY FRIEND MADE SO THATS WHY IT LOOKS KIND OF STRANGE I tried my best to replicate the essence
Tumblr media
shalkuro as teens ig comfort (I relentlessly got called gay for this one Stop jules bullying 2023) 
Tumblr media
Im a little crazy so maybe I did make another omori hxh au and a lot of it is Shalnark in the au or Shalnark and Chrollo
Tumblr media
Redraw of the sticker because hehe
Tumblr media
THIS IS BASED OFF OF AN UNFINISHED FIC I HAVE thats not necessarily ship related but also is but also you can interpret it any way you want and imo it’s so cute
I’ll finish it one day.
Tumblr media
Another ms paint art but it’s inspired off of bad apple for actually no reason other than that I think it would look cool and I went through 5 stages of hell trying to draw this but I made it out fine
God I want to talk so much about Shalkuro since Shalnark is ALSO just like me for real and I actually haven’t before on this account and it’s kind of my soundboard for talking abt whatever relating to hxh but I really think I should save it for a post of it’s own..
Anyways onto the next one its a little funny thing
I shipped my self insert with Muherr as a joke ok but now its kinda funny and I like it and I actually rlly like these drawings i made for it
Tumblr media
dont ask why he looks drunk its a long story
Tumblr media
I had to make this it was honestly too funny for me not too and I love it so much EXCEPT for the fact that I realized that my self insert looks so much like pariston in here
Im supposed to have dark hair but I just didnt feel like coloring it in there bc the lineart looked good enough to me
but yeah muherr x jules otp forever /j
hapy pride month whoever or whatever you are whether your gay or not!!!!
dont forget to have fun and be a kind neighborly person like me

Extremely fascinated by your wag AU tag 👀.
thanks bestie so am i.
Tumblr media
okay lmao so this isn't an actual fic that'll ever be written but. i was talking to my friend about it who still hasn't finished dts season 3 unfortunately but it means that i've switched around ages and years etc. i promise this has the potential to be a fun and sexy time but there's just s o much background shit that needs to be discussed. tw for mentions of irl deaths etc:
but pierre & charles meeting when they're 5-6 (which is what i think charles actually says irl but someone said it might've been closer to when they were 10-11? regardless.) and charles' dad passes away when they're 9-10, and jules when they're 13-14 and charles quits racing then. (fyi i know that irl jules passed away first)
he thinks about quitting when his dad passes away but keeps going with help from jules. so when the accident etc happens, it's not even like an active decision he ponders. he just knows there's no way he'll race again.
and pierre's been with him throughout everything, his best friend who he can talk to when he can't bear looking at his own family. so he doesn't understand when pierre tells him he's going to keep racing. when charles had told him he was never going to get into a kart ever again, pierre had nodded, grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. important to note that they're barely teenagers rn so yes charles feels betrayed that pierre isn't feeling the same things he is and isn't choosing the same future for himself etc.
they have a huge fight, lots of crying, lots of dramatic teenage angst. but it ultimately ends with charles shutting pierre out of his life. which is easier said than done when it's your best friend whose family is super close with yours. but it works because pierre is off racing around the world and charles has done all he can to never have to think about that stuff.
so charles goes to school, is doing uni somewhere in europe. studies something generic like business or maybe if i'm feeling suuuuper indulgent i will have him major in environmental studies like moi <3 pointedly does not come to monaco during grand prix weekend or the week before or the week after.
and then anthoine passes away too. (they're 20-21 now)
they see each other again at the funeral but don't talk, they meet up afterwards. pierre breaking down in charles' arms, clutching at his back, telling him he was right. pierre should've quit, he can't do this anymore either. they haven't said a word to each other in 7 years but charles still knows pierre, and knows that this isn't actually what pierre wants. or what he should do. (charles vaguely knows pierre's in f1 but doesn't know he's with redbull, doesn't know redbull's the top team etc)
"you can still do this, you will," charles tells him.
"not without you again."
so then comes the challenge of mending their relationship while still working through the shared trauma, and the Layers of past trauma. and also just the general awkwardness that comes with a friendship breakup/makeup situation you know! they can't just act like nothing happened but would it be easier that way?
they start texting first, then they play fifa or cod together. (sometimes pierre's british friend lewis joins too.)
slowly slowly slowly, they become friends again and then inseparable too. maybe even closer than they were before and charles only now realizes how much he missed pierre. while pierre still can't believe he has charles back now, it's as good as he let himself imagine.
the part i'm unsure about is if i would want pierre's career trajectory to be the same or not. because i think the demotion adds SUCH a painful but interesting aspect to his ~storyline. but ultimately i think maybe he just doesn't get the second seat immediately. spends more years with toro rosso/alpha tauri before getting "called up" (sorry i have no idea what the proper terminology is haha ignore the nba/nhl terms).
he invites charles to his first race in the red bull and charles says no. immediately. pierre's quiet on the other side of the phone, internally thinking he messed this up somehow. he thought things were going well and he takes this as charles doesn't want to see him. but he knows there's a lot more that's stopping charles and he also knows charles will definitely pull back if pierre asks about the other stuff. so he moves right along, asking charles about school, the weather, and tries not to let it show in his voice that he misses his best friend and needs him too.
"i'm going to try to watch," charles says, after pierre's yawned goodnight through the phone and is waiting for him to hang up. because you know pierre's not going to hang up first.
"what?"
"the race. i'm going to try. goodnight!" mentally charles slams the phone shut but really he just smashes at the red button before shoving it under his bed and looking at his hands trying to get answers for what he just did.
his only relief is that he didn't promise pierre he would watch, just that he would try. couldn't even choke out a, "good luck." (insert long paragraph about charles letting pierre down or thinking he has).
he only watches qualifying. pierre p3. already knows on saturday that there's no way he can watch the actual race.
but on sunday when he's supposed to be going over his notes for his climate change science & policy course (yes.... i did it...) he finds himself with his heart in his mouth refreshing formula1 dot com. watches the random names move up and down while keeping his eyes on 10 - gasly. (starts shaking for a second when he sees pierre's name drop until the IN PIT sign comes up across his name. fellas the thing about triggers is-- anyways.)
the scariest part is that by the time he's scrolled through all of red bull's socials to look at pictures of pierre on the podium (he finished p2 sorry i know this truly does not matter), he's forgotten about the race. the anxiety sits small in the back of his throat, his happiness for pierre is bright and loud in front of him. charles sends him a message, asking him to call whenever he can and adds a blue & red heart emoji which feels like a Big Step. but basically pierre calls and acts like nothing has happened since the last time they talked. mentions the breakfast he had in detail as if he didn’t get a podium in his first race with red bull. finally with a big team. but charles embarrassingly realizes that maybe his text didn't exactly imply in literally any way whatsoever that he knows the results of the race and was trying to congratulate pierre with this call. charles probably feels so embarrassed at this point but somehow still can't manage to say anything about the race until the next day maybe.
maybe texts pierre, good job. or, you were great. or something about him and not the race. or maybe reposts a picture from red bull but not one of pierre in his car, pointedly. only one of him on the podium. and pierre probably reposts it with the squid emoji and/or my favourite sentence in the world, merci petit calamaro.
charles cries when he reads it.
not to be lazy now but [insert 10k words of them building their friendship. meeting up in monaco with both of their families. meeting in milan or london or paris idk where pierre would live. but he flies charles out. not on a private jet because charles flat out refused lol. not because he's an environmentally conscious king he's just too, embarrassed? overwhelmed? by pierre doing Things Like That for him. even though he wants it lol. like when he graduates he's soooo annoyed that pierre couldn't come celebrate immediately because it was race week. but when he comes home his apartment is filled with flowers (roses, his favourite) and balloons and a giant teddy bear as tall as charles. and he DOES post 12 instagram stories to go with the other 30 from his other friends congratulating him. so yeah charles goes through a lot of personal growth and therapy. to the point where he's watching pierre race again, and waiting for him to invite him to a race again!!! do not even think about actual dates i'm fucking begging you but the one he goes to is monza :))))]
ultimately charles' path to understand/accepting/moving on from, his trauma, happens once he has pierre back in his life. it's also encouraged by pierre, but it's also not entirely because of him. not sure how to word that but yeah. these things are happening at the same time but charles still has to go through them by himself.
pierre takes him on romantic dates all around the world and charles doesn't realize that's what they are. fully in his bestie vibes only mood while pining for pierre in a way he doesn't even quite understand. almost a self deprecating, jeez whoever gets to date pierre is going to be so lucky :/
fanpage on ig: met pierre's alleged bf he's so pretty and sweet, i complimented his shoes and he was so nice. charles reading that: i didnt know he was dating someone :( why wouldn't he tell me :( well at least someone complimented my shoes today :(
pierre doesn't necessarily think they're dating, but he does know charles doesn't quite realize what they're doing so he's just waiting for him to come to terms with it.
not to give this au 10 different subplots but yeah that miscommunication plot becomes our prize for surviving through the first part of this.
but yeah at the last race of the year, that pierre wins because i said so? charles finds him before he goes on to the podium, kisses his helmet. says i love you, i'm so proud of you.
THEN, finally, charles does become pierre's wag. we made it kids. we did it joe.

modern sasha braus dating headcanons
lowercase intended !
college!sasha braus x gn!reader
had to write something for my queen 😌✨
Tumblr media
- she shares her food with you. I Dont Care She Does
- also since this is a modern au i dont think she would have such an obsession with food as she does in the canonverse (if we can even call it an obsession) i still think she would have a big appetite (and she'd be proud of it tf 😏🙏) but i just dont see her always being hungry as the fandom makes her out to be
- really likes to hold hands with you
- i think itd be really cute if she was studying to become a baker ?? maybe taking a culinary course at the university you two attend ?? maybe you somehow met there or through a friend
- i think she'd still be insecure about her accent (ig if this is au is set in america she'd be from the south 😐🤚) and would speak kind of like a robot to people she didn't know that well
- connie and jean ALWAYS bring out her accent tho,, like with them she can really be herself
- i think when you were starting to get to know her she would be speaking very formally, and youd take it like shes being kinda stand offish or like,, just doesnt wanna talk so youre thinking "okay maybe she doesnt wanna be friends 😁👍" and would back off
- now sasha's upset because you are so cool and unique and she just wants to know so much about you but youve been very distant lately ?? like did she do something wrong ??
- she tells connie, jean, marco, and niccolo one night and connie and jean are on the side of "find y/n and demand to know why their behavior has changed" while marco and niccolo are on the side of "respectfully dm y/n and ask why they havent been wanting to see sasha recently"
- sasha goes with the latter of the two and dms you after passing you in the dining hall, you two literally keep glancing at each other, texting while you sit with your respective friend groups
- after everything gets cleared up sasha is immediately inviting you to hang out with her crew, and even getting some of her other friends like eren, mikasa, and ymir and historia to come join too
- if she has all the people shes comfortable with there, itll be less scary talking with her accent !
- You Love It. You Think Its Adorable.
- you guys would definitely have a friends to lovers type relationship
- like friendly hugs turn into slightly longer hugs, and now sasha will constantly ask to sit next to you during movie nights
- loves to rest her head on your lap while she spreads across the couch
- i think you two would have your first kiss in niccolos apartment
- you two were sitting in his kitchen, with sasha munching on the leftover food he made that night for your get together
- his mom had called him so he decided to leave to go to his bedroom to answer it
- and slowly you guys just kind of,,,, leaned in 🙈✨
- it was slow and really romantic, kinda rough with the crumbs that were around sasha's lips but you didn't mind
- niccolo barged in and ruined the moment 😐🤚 good going pal 😁👍
- you two were so shocked that you two tried to leave
- ended up just walking down the road in silence like wtf i thought yall were trying to get away from each other 😭😭😭😭
- sasha ended up staying the night 🤩‼️
- NOT in a sexual way
- but in like a,,,, rue and jules kinda way where jules comes in through the window (but only sasha didnt come in through the window she came in the front door with you) and you two held each other and gave each other smooches for the rest of the night
- sasha woke up late and missed her morning classes 😐🤚 didnt even care and went back to sleep with you
- i think for the most part you get along well with her friend group
- youre definitely closer to connie, jean, niccolo, marco, and historia
- ymir teases you guys a lot and you cant tell if what she says is just jokes (it always is) or if shes completely serious
- eren, mikasa, armin, annie, along with reiner and bertholdt are more of aquantances to you, just because you dont see them as often as you do the others
- she has such a weird relationship with her english professor
- will literally complain how much work he gives his class and then the next day will gush about how great he his bc he gave her a granola bar for her effort in her assignment
- girl pick a script and stick to it 😐🤚
- has a collection of stuffies on her bed. i dont make the rules.
- anytime theres a carnival in town she drags EVERYONE there.
- you all agree to split up into groups so you can all check out what you want, but you always agree to meet up and eat funnel cake together 🥺
- sasha tries to get you to win her new stuffies
- if you cant do it, or just want some for yourself, shes calling connie and niccolo up PLEADING with them to come find you guys,
- then she claims theres been an ACCIDENT and that you two need help
- niccolo is zooming bc he cares abt his besties 😌✨
- connie texts jean and marco to come find you guys too 😭😭😭
- who gets a kick and a lecture for lying courtesy of niccolo ? sasha. but who also gets a bunch of stuffies won for her courtesy of niccolo ? sasha.
- for your anniversary i think she'd want to do something really fun with you
- she'd set up a pillow fort and have a bunch ot string lights and stuff, have all of her favourite stuffies (which are the ones she thinks of you when she sees) in there too.
- she has chips, she baked little pastries and cookies, and she ordered your favourite takeout
- you guys just watch whatever you want on netflix or whatever and its such a nice night
- it becomes a tradition for you guys, but you two always take turns with setup
- one year sasha did all of the planning, baking and whatnot ? okay now its your turn 😁👍
- you guys even started doing themes now 🤩
- if you guys play board games with your friends youre on sasha's side whether you want to be or not.
- shes also the kind of person that says "i can win fair and square !" but then when bertholdt starts kicking her ass in monopoly her script changes real quick 🙄
- now its "y/n,,, give me some of ur money" and "y/n, buy this property for me" like girl,,,, what happened to playing fair 😍⁉️
- will try and do all of those s/o pranks you see on tiktok
- its hard to get a genuine reaction out of you bc you can TELL SHES RECORDING but she tries anyways
- we love a perservering queen 😌✨
- will call you at random times of the day asking if you guys can see each other
- "y/n ??? are you there ??" "sasha its 2am wtf do you want 😐" "do you wanna ride your bike with me down to the park 🥺"
- also is very observant, knows when youre overworking yourself
- will try and pull you away from what youre working on like "lets go get you something to drink, or maybe we can watch an episode of that show you like before you continue working !"
- if youre persistent that you just HAVE to finish it tonight and cant stop and take a break she'll respect that, until you stay at your laptop for over an hour 😐
- just softly pulls you away like "no lovebug, lets get some sleep okay ?"
- is also very protective of you
- overheard someone making fun of you ?? talking shit ??? her besties better hold her back before she gets suspended 😤‼️
- and since connie and jean absolutely ADORE you, you better believe theyre helping their girl sasha out
- those three are the LEADERS of the "protect y/n club"
- it just becomes niccolo and marco trying to dissolve the situation before it gets physical, and then reiner and armin joining when they walk directly into the chaos
- armin tells you what happened and as much as youre thankful that sasha cares about you so much that she'd defend you like that, you lecture her, jean and connie on not making scenes like that again
- sasha's love language is kind of like,, a mixture of quality time and physical touch
- she just really loves spending time with you, but also very much enjoys being in your arms
- she doesnt shy away from it, and is usually the one to initiate those things
- will hold your hand PROUDLY down hallways or on streets
- always hypes you up too, shes very much so your personal hypeman
- "oh lovebug you look SO GOOD rn oh my god" "sasha pls im in my pyjamas" "and you look like a model baby !"
- sasha is very stubborn however, and if you guys ever fight she is NEVER the one to apologize first, or seek you out to talk about it
- even if shes in the wrong she cant bring herself to admit it, she dug herself into such a deep hole with the stance she took that she doesnt want to take the walk of shame in admitting that she wasnt right
- this can cause a lot of problems in your relationship, but after you explain how much it affects you, shes trying to change
- will always work on her stubborn-ness and pride
- and it actually makes her feel a lot better being able to admit defeat, or being wrong
- she really likes being communicative and honest, especially with you
- i think overall your relationship with sasha is very very fun, filled with good memories, good food, good friends, and most importantly, love.
Tumblr media
no bc i really do love her 😐🤚 lemme marry miss braus rq 😏✨
hope u guys enjoyed !! remember requests are open so if you have anything youd like me to write DONT BE SHY ❤️‼️

Generation hbo ep. 8 liveblog; midseason finale
Let's get into this episode before I loose my train of thought:
He dressed like an entire funeral. Of course he's listening to Bad Religion by Frank Ocean. I do love that the song is in the catalog.
As Sam should. Accept the consequences Chester you were in the wrong and you're lucky no one knows besides administration what you did.
Tumblr media
Wow no need to be rude Chester, Riley is just trying to be nice. This isn't about him setting boundaries, this is about how he brushed her concern off.
Oh he really disregarded this entire kid and has now found himself a new talking buddy. Of course now that he doesn't have his head in the improbable clouds, he can sees around himelf. He still should talk to his friends though and his new counselor. The person you date isn't the solution to your self fabricated drama.
So he did get suspended, good.
Ay Legends of Zelda and DND. Whoever did that chaotic good chart placed Chester pretty correctly haha.
Get his number. Yo Chester you need to get his number or his IG.
Tumblr media
These kids are kind of dicks but I'm glad everyone including his teammates are like we love you something is wrong and we can tell. It just feels a little heres our token gay entertainment moment.
This is so stupid but they did make him smile and laugh again because he can't stay in this rutt forever. Kind of wild how when you are the loudest person in the room just being yourself and you are off people notice.
The joy was good for some time but it doesn't last because he needs to face the root of his loneliness. Alone in a room full of people.
That doesn't mean he likes you so you need to slow down. But, also he needs to get the rejection so he's not stuck on the crush.
This message is awful and awkward start, but its become long and awkward.
Tumblr media
I guess there was no pregnancy intro because we are going to the mall. This mall day seems so fun minus the pregnancy.
Some solid people and the fire station is the best location to go to.
Its been 4/5 days and you haven't talked to her, come on now the two of you. Euphoria and this show remind me of how much I hate teenage communication issues. The number 1 reason you could not pay me to go back and redo my teen years.
Tumblr media
Tiktok dances to make the baby go yo sleep lmfao how gen z.
Why is Chester being kind of an asshole to Nathan all of a sudden?
Oh fuck that kiss was uploaded oh fuck. No Chester now is not the time.
I would of hung tf up if that woman was my mother, because you're not gonna be a homophobe to me and then ask me to come home. It's coded but she's really just upset her son does actually like women AND men, and probably anyone under the realm of nonbinary that he deems attractive.
Just say thankyou. Sisters ? When did y'all get that close?
Girl its not funny to tell your adoptive parents, who treat you like gold, that you'd rather they didn't adopt you. It is fucking cruel especially to two gay parents who likely had to fight to get her. They just let her get away with it in the name of teenage angst.
Tumblr media
Delilah is setting this baby up to be so conscious. Aw his beanie.
They are really all gifting the baby charms and tokens. A proper sending off. Maybe not so much the cbd oil lmfao but everything else is so sweet. Those things will stay in the babies possessions too.
I really don't like Ariana, that was not the time to talk about the hot firefighter. She is used as the inappropriate comic relief character and it grinds me up for multiple reasons.
What us Riley? 🤨 There was no "us" established, yall didn't even share a kiss kiss. How the heck is a quick couple of pecks turning into saxophone time, but also how do those quick peck without talking about anything constitute a relationship or even situationship. Mutual feelings exist but they aren't even in a relationship. Also, Greta needs to apologize to Riley for how she spoke to her. Theres a correct way to say, "I'm not comfortable instead of you sleep around I'm not like you." Greta barely spoke in this episode and didn't even look at Riley or utter an apology. That's real strange.
Tumblr media
Chester is gonna find someone his own age, awesome, and break Nathan's heart in the process. Oh the drama.
Mid season thoughts: This show isnt bad it just needs some refinement and work. The issues I had throughout the season did not get cleared up in this episode at all. I really like some of these characters and others are not for me at all. Some of the other characters could use more solidification of their interactions. These characters just felt very different in this episode specifically that we've seen them previously. Ariana was still consistent as were Riley and Nathan in comparison to the others. This is only the mid season there are 8/9 episodes coming soon, the cast is currently still in production. Sigh if only we could get a Euphoria cross over in one of the eps they are filming right now. I say this since Euphoria starts filming this upcoming week. How cool would it be to see Chester, Riley, and Greta coming out of a corner store and Chester holds open the door for Jules and Rue. Then in the foreground Riley and Greta awkwardly talk and in the background Chester says I like your hair or outfit before running up behind his friends like "Stop bring weird let's go."
Anyways I'll be here to watch when the series does come back.

{ taylor hill, 22, cisfemale, she/her } hey, what’s up! i’m savannah farley. i’m from wilmington, delaware and everyone back at home calls me vanna. i always get told that i’m audacious & jaunty but the haters will say i’m loquacious & sly. when people think of me, they think of spilt drinks at the club, smudged lipstick, and resting confused face but that’s just who i am, and like i always say “so does that mean we're not taking shots?” 
ah hello everyone !!! i’m jules and wowow  i am so excite 2 meet u all and interact w all of ur dope charas :’) this is my Messy intro where im gonn a scream abt savannah!! ok thank u for reading if u got this far jsdjf
background !
savannah was born and raised in  wilmington, delaware to her lovely parents dylan & kim farley. she is the youngest of 3 and has older twin brothers, dylan & damien. she was born into a moderately wealthy family, her father is a construction worker & her mother is a nurse. compared to the rest of her family, they lived a modest life. her parents didn’t want to spoil their kids and wanted them to learn that if they want something they had to go get it and not wait for mommy & daddy to do it.
every since she was a teeny tiny girl, savannah was super friendly & loved to talk. she would literally talk to anyone or anything about she had on her mind at the moment. so when she went on to start school she didn’t have a problem with making friends, this made her quite popular & well known through her school career. aside from that her grades were average, mostly getting B’s with an occasional A every so often. 
when vanna started high school her parents started demanding a lot  more commitment with her obligations, like studies, chores & work. they also became pretty strict once she entered high school, not allowing her to hang out with her friends as much as she used to. this made it a harder for sav to enjoy these years of her life & have a social life, which she couldn’t live without. as she got into her junior year, she decided to enjoy more and stop caring too much about everything. she quit her job & she’d sneak out at night, go to bars, drink underage, smoke weed, sleep with anyone with a pulse, sneak into buildings..you name it, she probably did it.  but she seems far from the type because she seems always so well put together- perfect matching outfit, clean shoes, perfect hair! even though she did this she still maintained her good grades… sometimes she prob paid someone to do them. after graduating from hs, vanna decided that college wasn’t for her & started making money from posting pics on IG to eventually having her own yt channel where she vlogs mostly about her traveling!
personality !
an aquarius queen!!
always thinking, always learning, always caring & always talking
a literal hot mess.. like y’all don’t know 
loves tattoos but only has like two
she wants to live a vry luxurious life when older even though she is now
when it comes to money, she can be frivolous in her spending habits one day & be frugal the next
love to cook like a lot 
vry romantically compulsive which can be a problem lol!!
she constantly longs for partnership; whether it’s romantic or not
she likes to think she is badass as fuck but in reality, she is loser lmao!! ( laughs at her own joke)
speaking of jokes lbr, she pretty funny and sarcastic so she isn’t the only one laughing
however sweet she seems, she can also be very manipulative when she wants to be. knowing she can bat her eyelashes and get the world.!!
she tends to try to avoid most direct confrontation even though she’s really good in social situations and appealing to people uwu 
v good at talking and well-liked while her spirit’s lively, it is also cunning & she often acts without thinking, throwing herself into things
loves to party obvs !!! tries to go out every single night bc why tf not lmaoo
honestly she is the life of the party. whenever the party is dying down or just getting started she is the first one on the dance floor. or she is walking around making people take shots with her

[ mitch grassi, demiboy, flexible pronouns, 20 ] SEDATED by HOZIER? whenever i hear that song, it reminds me of CHRISTOPHER 'KIT' LOUIS. maybe because they’re ETHEREAL but also ABSTRACTED. they’ve been living at mulberry apartments since SEPTEMBER of 2018 in APARTMENT 203 and have 1 ROOMMATE.
tws – substance use/abuse, toxic relationships, & v brief mention of homophobia
here is darling kit. he’s slightly more of a mess than his sweet little face may give off and i hope you accept a bit of chaos here because… kit does not come quietly! anyways!! also this is a lot longer than i intended so skip to the bottom if you’d like a SUMMARY
hails from one of the northern states on the west coast. he grew up in a strict religious household which felt stifling and limiting from as early as age 4 when he had to wear a bowtie to easter mass when he wanted to wear one of the cute flowery bonnets the girls got to wear
christopher had a very rigid childhood for this reason. his family lived comfortably but it was only perfect on the surface. underneath the glamour of the picturesque family unit there were cracks – splintering shards that would eventually drive a wedge between the louis parents and their only child
kit knew pretty early on that he wasn’t straight – ironically enough, getting the idea from all the anti-gay rhetoric from the church. it gave him the keywords he needed to uncover things like homosexuality and genderfluidity. he also knew to keep it quiet and kept himself securely closeted
figured it was meant to be a secret – kind of like the secret affair his father was having! or the secret gambling problem his mother was so desperate to hide and blamed on faulty record keeping!
basically, the crux of kit’s childhood is that it sucked and he never felt like he got to be a kid. he was smothered.
kit’s first breaking point came at a young age. he had a childhood friend from church who he had gotten super close to. this friend was very whimsical and sweet – flamboyant some would say but hey! they were children!!! kit was very amazed by this friend’s ability to just BE HIMSELF!
his parents, however, were less amazed and especially as the two grew to be preteens and stayed just as close (maybe even sharing an innocent kiss as friends), they got more and more concerned. so concerned, in fact, that eventually, they insisted kit end the friendship. it was devastating, especially since this friend had been teaching kit so much about self expression and confidence and just :’(
but he listened and buried his anger, saving it for only a few short years later when it would all come to a head.
kit had his first “real” romantic kiss at age 14. the boy was older and cooler and kit knew he couldn’t go back into the closet after that. he brought that boy home a few more times, half hoping to get caught just so he wouldn’t have to come out. eventually things fizzled out but kit had had a taste and now he wanted MORE
more boys made their rounds through the louis residence and it wasn’t until kit was doing a little more than kissing that he was finally caught. it was as bad as he’d expected, the shouting match. what he HADN’T expected, though, was the ultimatum. stop this ‘gay business’ or move out. he was only a teen still? couldn’t they even do that, legally?
luckily – or unluckily as it would be – kit had met someone older who had a place of his own in california and he offered to let kit come and stay with him. they’d start dating and kit would even say this was his first love.
it wasn’t some fairytale though – it never was. showing his love for his new beau became sexual extremely fast and would start including doing favors for his friends and coworkers too. kit let it happen because at least he was free of his parents and living with someone who loved him
he put up with three years of increasingly toxic conditions in his relationship with his boyfriend essentially capitalizing on his willingness to please, not knowing that would soon run out.
if you stifle kit too completely, he breaks and that’s what happened.
one day, he snapped, he took his things and left. he was completely homeless and streetbound but he was living life according to his own choices for once and it came with a kind of thrill that kept kit motivated!
he turned to sex work of his own volition, finding it as a stable way of making money, despite the dangers involved. it was all he felt he was qualified for and he was good at it. without need of any authority over him, he made decent money at it and started skulking around seedy bars in the outer LA area for men who would take him home for a good time
that’s where he met his now-boyfriend, julian. before julian, kit would’ve sworn he’d never find someone, never get a crush, never fall in love. one night and kit was questioning everything. a few more and he was hooked harder than any drug could ever get him.
eventually, though, him and julian did fall in love and they’ve been dating ever since. he stopped his sex work entirely & the drugs julian enjoyed slowly became a part of their time together and that’s still very true today. they’re kind of as dependent on it as they are on each other.
kit knows most things about julian’s past and julian knows most things about kit’s past. they’re kindred spirits, both getting their starts way too young and both finding hardships along the way. kit has never smiled as much, laughed as much or loved as much as he has since finding julian so while jules will swear up and down that he’s ruined kit forever by getting him hooked on all kinds of substances, kit thinks julian’s saved his life
they were following one of kit’s elated impulses and taking a road trip from coast to coast and back again on all the money they had left in this run down little jeep station wagon thing when it broke down in north carolina
they got it up and running enough to make their way up to baltimore but then the jeep gave up completely. they sold it for parts and that + julian’s drug money was enough to pay a deposit on an apartment of their own
so now they’re here!!
they’re living on the bare minimum / mattress on the floor type of struggling but they are in love and that’s what matters right? 
SUMMARY – a rough childhood and an even rougher teendom eventually led to one toxic ex boyfriend and a life on the streets. kit found renewed purpose with his now-boyfriend julian who also happened to turn him into a gleeful little druggie along the way. living with no money but a whole lot of love. okay now
PERSONALITY – enigmatic might be a good way to describe kit. he’s fidgety and easily startled, a very frail little thing. he’s off in his own head a lot of the time and he genuinely has a hard time focusing on things. VERY guarded in that you won’t get a peep out of him and his personal life unless you want to talk about his boyfriend who he’ll wax poetic about for hours if you let him. otherwise, he’s social and chatty but about nothing of substance, flirty but with no intention of following through and impulsive to a fault. he’ll make you think you’re his best friend for the evening but not remember you in the morning. only those super close to him get to see a sweet vulnerable side to kit, the rest see this feigned alluring aura and nothing more
PLOTS
party friends – a MUST
some loose circle of friends in general for him and julian!
a good influence ( gonna be a song connection eventually )
protective friends ( though misguided bc he won’t really listen )
smoking buddies
honestly i think it’d be funny if someone didn’t like him bc he flirted with their boyfriend
and alternatively, the boyfriend he flirted with
someone with an instant crush / love at first sight bond with the very taken kit
someone who can develop into his best friend
aaaaaand people him nd julian kinda corrupt. they’re a chaotic force as a duo so rip
oh ig eventually he’s gonna try to make cash the only way he knows how so thats… a possibility
if YOU have any ideas, lemme know!

*  mitch grassi, age 21, he/they  | oh, them? that’s christopher ‘kit’ louis. they’ve lived in carina bay for, like, one week. last time i spoke to them they were unemployed, and if i remember correctly, they’re a gemini. seeing them around always makes me think of tattered sleeves pulled down over shaking hands, a coquettish cheshire cat’s grin, a mattress on the floor of an empty room with constellations of fairy lights strung overhead.
tws -- substance use/abuse, toxic relationships, & v brief mention of homophobia
four muses... what am i doin’ falling a little too in love with carina + writing intros, i guess??  but here is darling kit. he’s slightly more of a mess than his sweet little face may give off and i hope you accept a bit of chaos here in the sleepy town of carina bay because... kit does not come quietly! anyways!! also this is a lot longer than i intended so skip to the bottom if you’d like a SUMMARY
hails from one of the northern states on the west coast. he grew up in a strict religious household which felt stifling and limiting from as early as age 4 when he had to wear a bowtie to easter mass when he wanted to wear one of the cute flowery bonnets the girls got to wear
christopher had a very rigid childhood for this reason. his family lived comfortably but it was only perfect on the surface. underneath the glamour of the picturesque family unit there were cracks -- splintering shards that would eventually drive a wedge between the louis parents and their only child
kit knew pretty early on that he wasn’t straight -- ironically enough, getting the idea from all the anti-gay rhetoric from the church. it gave him the keywords he needed to uncover things like homosexuality and genderfluidity. he also knew to keep it quiet and kept himself securely closeted
figured it was meant to be a secret -- kind of like the secret affair his father was having! or the secret gambling problem his mother was so desperate to hide and blamed on faulty record keeping!
basically, the crux of kit’s childhood is that it sucked and he never felt like he got to be a kid. he was smothered. 
kit’s first breaking point came at a young age. he had a childhood friend from church who he had gotten super close to. this friend was very whimsical and sweet -- flamboyant some would say but hey! they were children!!! kit was very amazed by this friend’s ability to just BE HIMSELF! 
his parents, however, were less amazed and especially as the two grew to be preteens and stayed just as close, they got more and more concerned. so concerned, in fact, that eventually, they insisted kit end the friendship. it was devastating, especially since this friend had been teaching kit so much about self expression and confidence and just :’(
but he listened and buried his anger, saving it for only a few short years later when it would all come to a head.
kit had his first kiss at age 14. the boy was older and cooler and kit knew he couldn’t go back into the closet after that. he brought that boy home a few more times, half hoping to get caught just so he wouldn’t have to come out. eventually things fizzled out but kit had had a taste and now he wanted MORE
more boys made their rounds through the louis residence and it wasn’t until kit was doing a little more than kissing that he was finally caught. it was as bad as he’d expected, the shouting match. what he HADN’T expected, though, was the ultimatum. stop this ‘gay business’ or move out. he was only a teen still? couldn’t they even do that, legally?
luckily -- or unluckily as it would be -- kit had met someone older who had a place of his own in california and he offered to let kit come and stay with him. they’d start dating and kit would even say this was his first love. 
it wasn’t some fairytale though -- it never was. showing his love for his new beau became sexual extremely fast and would start including doing favors for his friends and coworkers too. kit let it happen because at least he was free of his parents and living with someone who loved him
he put up with three years of increasingly toxic conditions in his relationship with his boyfriend essentially capitalizing on his willingness to please, not knowing that would soon run out.
if you stifle kit too completely, he breaks and that’s what happened. 
one day, he snapped, he took his things and left. he was completely homeless and streetbound but he was living life according to his own choices for once and it came with a kind of thrill that kept kit motivated!
he turned to sex work of his own volition, finding it as a stable way of making money, despite the dangers involved. it was all he felt he was qualified for and he was good at it. without need of any authority over him, he made decent money at it and started skulking around seedy bars in the outer LA area for men who would take him home for a good time
that’s where he met his now-boyfriend, julian. before julian, kit would’ve sworn he’d never find someone, never get a crush, never fall in love. one night and kit was questioning everything. a few more and he was hooked harder than any drug could ever get him.
eventually, though, him and julian did fall in love and they’ve been dating ever since. he stopped his sex work entirely & drugs slowly became a part of their time together and that’s still very true today. they’re kind of as dependent on it as they are on each other.
kit knows about julian’s past and julian knows about kit’s past. their kindred spirits, both getting their starts way too young and both finding hardships along the way. kit has never smiled as much, laughed as much or loved as much as he has since finding julian so while jules will swear up and down that he’s ruined kit forever by getting him hooked on all kinds of substances, kit thinks julian’s saved his life
they were following one of kit’s elated impulses and taking a road trip from coast to coast and back again on all the money they had left in this run down little jeep station wagon thing when it broke down in carina bay
so now they’re here!! 
SUMMARY -- a rough childhood and an even rougher teendom eventually led to one toxic ex boyfriend and a life on the streets. kit found renewed purpose with his now-boyfriend julian who also happened to turn him into a gleeful little druggie along the way. living with no money but a whole lot of love. okay now
PERSONALITY -- enigmatic might be a good way to describe kit. he’s fidgety and easily startled, a very frail little thing. he’s off in his own head a lot of the time but not in a cutesy daydreamy way (like pip) and more he genuinely has a hard time focusing on things. VERY guarded in that you won’t get a peep out of him and his personal life unless you want to talk about his boyfriend who he’ll wax poetic about for hours if you let him. otherwise, he’s social and chatty but about nothing of substance, flirty but with no intention of following through and impulsive to a fault. he’ll make you think you’re his best friend for the evening but not remember you in the morning. only those super close to him get to see a sweet vulnerable side to kit, the rest see this feigned alluring aura and nothing more
PLOTS 
obviously he’s only been here a week so past plots depend on your muses time on the west coast BUT: 
party friends -- a MUST
some loose circle of friends in general for him and julian! 
a good influence
protective friends ( though misguided bc he won’t really listen ) 
smoking buddies
honestly i think it’d be funny if someone didn’t like him bc he flirted with their boyfriend
and alternatively, the boyfriend he flirted with
someone with an instant crush / love at first sight bond with the very taken kit
someone who can develop into his best friend
wait help them find a crummy apartment someone
aaaaaand people him nd julian kinda corrupt. they’re a chaotic force as a duo so rip
oh ig eventually he’s gonna try to make cash the only way he knows how so thats... a possibility
if YOU have any ideas, lemme know!

A Hunter’s Life For Me
Word count: 2235
Warnings: a lot of anger, almost violence, gun threat
Pairings: OFC(Jules) x Dean, Reader x Sam

Chapter 13: This is the life, it’s do or die
Previously
“What is she?”
“You need to know that both heaven and hell will come for her, she’s not safe here, and you’re not safe with her.”
“What is she, Cas?!” Dean was twitching by now, wanting to grab Cas and shake his feathery ass.
“Something we haven’t seen since the dawn of angels and demons.”
Dean POV
“… What the hell is that supposed to mean?!”
“What did you see just before she woke up? What made you run from her?” Dean fell silent. The vision of the wings and horns showing up around… on Jules was something he was trying hard to not think about. It wasn’t something he wanted to think about, but instead wanted to forget. He knew it had something to do with her powers, and her powers, whatever they were, scared him. Now Cas was here infront of him, knowing the answer and wanting to give it to him. Just in a way that was anything but direct.
“I saw… Wings. Wings and horns. They showed up around her, made of this weird shine, like it was light and dark at the same time…” Cas gave him one of his patented looks, one that Dean knew well.
“What is she, Cas?” Dean’s tone had dropped to a desperate whisper.
Dean walked out of the library in a confused rage. He didn’t know why the answer to his question had pissed him off like it did, it’s not like it was anyone’s fault, least of all Jules or Cas. But Dean needed something to be pissed at, so he was. Coming out of the library he walked right into his brother, who caught him by the arm, making him stop.
“Dean?” A frown creased Sam’s brow. “What’s wrong?”
“Do you know?” Dean could hear the edge of crazy in his voice. “Do you know what she is? Because I didn’t. I had no idea. But she is.”
“What are you talking about?” Sam’s hand had dropped from his arm, and Dean felt like his anchor had left him. He needed Sam in this, needed his brother to find a solution, like this was any other hunt. Except it wasn’t.
“Cas told me what she is, what gives her these… powers.” The look on Sam’s face told Dean that his brother already knew it was something to be filed under the “worst thing we can imagine” column. “She’s… The reason the demons, and apparently also the angels, are after her, is because she’s a descendant of both sides.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
“Centuries ago both a nephilim and a cambion… mated, with humans. Their powers were ‘watered down’, dormant in their human descendants. The bloodlines met in Jules. She has angel and demon blood in her, Sam.” Dean felt hopeless. How the fuck could they beat this?
Sam looked like he was about to open his mouth when suddenly Dean’s phone rang. He took it from his pocket, ready to throw it against a wall, because what could possibly be more important right now? Sam caught his hand, taking the phone.
Sam POV
When he saw the name on the screen Sam wanted to do what Dean had meant to. Y/N’s name was like a punch right in the gut. Swallowing any remaining resolve he might have had, Sam answered and held the phone up to his ear.
“Y/N?”
“Open the door, let me in!”
“Whoa, hold up. What’s going on?”
“Not the time, Winchester! Open the fucking door and let me in. Crowley’s on my ass and if he catches up I’m done for.” The call cut out and Sam stood frozen for all of two seconds before turning on a dime and bolting through the bunker to get to the door. He wrenched it open and Y/N tumbled inside, falling flat on the floor, like she’d been using any and all bodily force she could to get the door open from the outside. Sam slammed the door behind her, sealing up the bunker with every ward it had, and knelt by her side. Peeling her face off the stone floor she looked up at Sam, and both of them went still.
“Sam…”
“What the hell is going on?!” Dean bellowed from the main floor. He’d followed Sam to the war room and seen him go for the door at breakneck speed. Sam stood, reaching out a hand to pull Y/N to her feet.
“I’d like to know too. Why is Crowley after you?”
“Crowley? You brought Crowley to the bunker?”
“Oh believe me, if could’ve avoided it I would. Good to see you too, Dean.”
“Enough!” Dean pulled his gun and aimed it right at Y/N’s head. “I’m done with the cryptic non-answers. You’re gonna tell us exactly what’s going on or I swear this time I’m gonna pull the trigger.” This time?
Sam wanted to step between Y/N and his brother, but the look on Dean’s face told him there was only one way Y/N was getting out of this alive. Dean had reached the end of his tether, so Y/N better start talking because Sam didn’t doubt Dean would keep his word.
Reader POV
This had been your very last resort. Every sane thought in your head told you to stay away from the bunker and the Winchesters, but circumstance had forced your hand. Taking a deep breath, you started talking.
“When I left a year ago I told you I had to take care of my family’s organisation on my own. And I thought I could. I found the base, found out everything I could about it. But it was too big. I refused to call you because risking your lives again was something I promised I’d never let happen. I was out of options, and decided to make a deal. Crowley was all to willing-” “You sold your soul? Your fucking soul? Do you have any idea what that means?”
“No, Dean, I did not sell my soul. I sold my services. Crowley, apparently, had been watching me for a while. Remember the demon at the motel? That was one of his.”
Dean’s face lost some of the previous anger, but you could tell he was still a twitch away from firing, and the gun was still aimed at your head.
“Crowley offered to take care of the organisation, with proof that it was completely dismantled. In exchange, he asked that I work for him. That’s why I was on the case where Jules was kidnapped. That’s why I didn’t come back. He said that should I ever run into you again your lives depended on my silence.
“I knew he wanted Jules, but I didn’t know what for. I knew why so many people were being killed by demons, and why it had such a specific pattern. Crowley was working a heavy weight ritual, and he needed Jules to complete it. His plan still depends on catching her alive and get her on his side.” Dean’s mask was cracking around the edges. It looked like he wanted to believe you, but your betrayal had hit him hard. You turned and looked at Sam, who looked so broken hearing your story, why you’d stayed away from him. It broke whatever heart you had left to see tears running down his cheeks.
“I swear,” you said, turning back to Dean. “I have no idea what Jules is, or even what Crowley’s plan entails. He knew all along that I wasn’t on his side, but that I didn’t have a choice. He said if I betrayed him he would get custody of my soul. Permanently. So I was never told the good stuff.” “And when Jules was kidnapped? You ‘helped’ her.”
“I did what I could under the radar, though now I suspect he knew what I was doing. I hate that I had to try to keep her away from you, because if anyone could keep her safe, it would be you. But with all those demons after her, and her powers… I couldn’t risk you and Sam.” Saying his name made you turn your head again and look at Sam. You wanted nothing more than to wrap yourself around him and never let go.
“It’s not good enough,” Dean growled. “It’s not enough, you should’ve done more, you should’ve told us sooner.”
Just when you were sure he was actually going to kill you, Jules burst into the room and, to your utter shock, stopped right in Dean’s line of fire. The look on Dean’s face right then… Utter terror. He dropped the gun and stumbled back.
“Jules…” “Calm down, Dean.” She held her hands up, showing him she was unarmed. You just now realised how unhinged Dean really was, and how dangerous. You went to run down the stairs to make sure Jules wouldn’t get hurt, but a hand on your shoulder held you back.
“Wait,” Sam said. “Just watch.”
Jules slowly walked up to Dean, who didn’t move an inch, just stood there and looked Jules in the eye. When she was close enough she brought her hands up to his face, holding it gently. It was like a curtain rose from his face. The anguish and rage lifted, and he stepped forward, grabbing hold of Jules anywhere he could, as if he were anchoring himself. Dean’s whole body was shaking, but all that seemed to matter was the girl in his arms.
Dean POV
“Y/N? Whoa, hold up. What’s going on?” Sam’s face paled and he took off running. Dean followed close behind and saw Sam bolt up the stairs in the war room and rip the door open. In fell Y/N. To Dean’s joy, however small, she landed flat on her face. But that small joy was quickly overshadowed by anger. Her witty one liners became the last straw and just like last time, Dean pulled his gun and aimed at her head.
Her explanation, about how she’d ended up working for Crowley, practically his bitch, and how she’d known nothing about Jules, did little to assuage Dean’s rage at her. She couldn’t risk him and Sam? Didn’t she understand how important Jules was? Y/N said herself that Jules was the safest with the brothers, so why the fuck did she try to keep her away?
“It’s not good enough.” Dean felt his body shaking with the strain of holding back. “It’s not enough, you should’ve done more, you should’ve told us sooner.”
Dean had just reached the point were he was ready to fire when Jules appeared in his line of sight down the barrel of the gun. The sheer and utter dread that filled him was indescribable, and he dropped the gun like it had suddenly become burning hot. He didn’t register how Y/N tried to run down the stairs, or how Sam held her back. All he saw was Jules, hands held placatingly infront of her.
“Jules…”
“Calm down, Dean.” She came closer, her hands gently landing on his cheeks, and every weight on his shoulders lifted. He reached out, taking hold of any part of her he could. She was there with him, which was all that mattered.
Jules POV
After Sam had led me away I’d gone to my room, defying every instinct telling me to stick around to eavesdrop. This was serious, and I decided to trust Sam. Dean clearly knew Castiel, they had history, and this was something he had to deal with without an audience. It killed me a bit, because I knew that the angel held the answers I needed. But everything I’d been through had given me more… wisdom, you might call it. Given time, I’d learn what I needed to know.
Sitting on my bed I suddenly felt absolutely crushing anger, anguish and betrayal. It completely gutted me, and I fell to the floor in a heap. The feelings consumed me, so much so that I was almost convinced they were mine. With immense effort, I managed to separate myself from the storm of emotions, and got up from the floor.
“Dean!” I gasped. He was in so much pain. My feet started to run before I’d even realised where I had to go. They led me to the war room, and I only had a moment to take in the scene before me. Dean was aiming his gun at… Y/N? His face told me he was one twitch away from snapping, and I followed the first thought that popped into my head.
Not stopping to consider what I was doing, I ran to the middle of the room, putting myself between Dean and his target. His reaction was instant, and he dropped the gun.
“Jules…” I held my hands out, trying to show him I wasn’t dangerous.
“Calm down, Dean.” He stumbled backwards, in shock at almost having shot me. I walked forward, barely noticing how Y/N, in concern, went to go down the stairs to the main floor to stop me from getting to Dean, or how Sam stopped her. My focus was on the man infront of me. When I reached him I cupped his face in my hands, looking into his eyes. As soon as I touched him his hands flew up and gripped me tight enough to bruise. I didn’t care one bit. Dean was here with me, which was all that mattered.  
@carryonmyswansong
Note: I’m curious, did anyone catch the reference in the previous chapter title? If you did, kudos to you :P So what do you think about Jules? A long way from the naive little girl she was when Sam and Dean first met her, ain’t she? Let me know what you think of this chapter! :D

15 Cocktail Influencers You Should Be Following on Instagram
Tumblr media
Since most of us are missing our local bartenders as much as our friends and family during the ongoing pandemic, many of us have taken to our kitchens in an attempt to make our favorite drinks ourselves. But while G&Ts and vodka sodas are great every now and again, where do we turn when we’re craving something a little more complex? Enter: the “drinkstagrammer” — or drinks Instagrammer.
These bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts have made names for themselves by sharing photos of whimsical drinks and helpful tips with their followers. So, at a time when we need inspiration more than ever, VinePair has collected a list of our 15 favorite drinkstagrammers, whom you should follow right now.

Back from a long weekend in the forest, without WiFi or cell reception. With sheltering in place + most of my clients pivoting hard to lean into the digital world, these last few months have been insane and I’ve been constantly connected 📲 It felt amazing to just rest, read and fully relax for a few days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, based on all of your responses after sharing a video of my dog Pip on my IG story, apparently you want me to focus on corgi content instead of cocktails 🤔🐕 Can’t say that I blame you. Swipe for a look at sleepy vacation Pip. 🔊✌🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #highproofpreacher

It’s fri-yay aka time for an 𝐀𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐳! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Instead of dreaming for the day we can get back into some of our favorite restaurants safely (because who knows when that will be)… let’s bring the Friday happy hour cocktails right into our home! After creating recipes for the past 4 months now, there’s a lot to choose from on our website! My personal favorite to celebrate the beginning of the weekend on a hot day is of course the Aperol Spritz. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But on a serious note, I can't believe that 4 months ago COVID lockdown hit in the US and that actually made me really start taking Join Jules seriously. It was the only way to turn a sour situation into a good one I guess. But, I do hope these cocktails have helped cure the oh so missed happy hours and that you look forward to so many more to come… (I'm looking at you 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧)!! Let's just say this, it's only the beginning of Join Jules 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘩𝘰𝘰! (𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴… okay okay I'll stop).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝐍𝐨𝐰, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐠𝐨-𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥? 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰!

For those of you who don’t personally know me, my name is Anthony Bates and (I think) I am more than a person who slings cocktails! I’m currently taking over @liquor’s Instagram today so you can find me there shooting the s***! Besides perfecting my Mai Tai – I’m really into reading, music, and definitely art… I love to see people be creative and express themselves artistically! I’m a introvert at times so I like to express myself through different forms of creativity wether I’m the creator or in collaboration with someone else. Here’s me on NYE at @undercote with a cocktail by @beaub.knowin …..I felt like Super Fly this day lmao… I hope everyone is having a great 4th and enjoying themselves!

Turn up for Tiki 🍹🥥🍌🍍. It has been blazing hot here on the Mid-Atlantic coast, and all I want to do is crush tropical cocktails. But, honestly, it’s just one of those genres of drinks that always taste better at the bar – usually because I don’t have a pebble ice machine at home (yes, it does matter). . Lately, I’ve been making some Mai Tais with @denizenrum Merchant’s Reserve, @smallhandfoods orgeat, fresh lime, and dry curaçao. That’s as complex as it gets, but it’s well worth it. . Who has some easy tiki cocktails that they have developed at home worth sharing? I’m looking for some new flavors 👌🏽🍹.

I really really miss @leyendabk and on days like today with May just around the corner I miss our patio the most. May has always been our biggest month with the weather being perfect combined with our anniversary and Cinco de Mayo. This year we were going to do a huge party for our five ( 5️⃣❗️) year anniversary as well as my book launch. Instead we won’t. Instead, rather than being in Leyenda’s backyard mixing up drinks and hanging out with the whole neighborhood, I will just post them on social media. Like this one— featured in my book with link in BIO!—Cereza Picante: With this drink, I wanted to create an exceptionally fruit-forward fall-like sour that highlighted spice and smoke to compliment its fruity notes. The result is what its name advertises: one spicy cherry. 1 oz Jalapeño @siembraspirits Valles blanco tequila 1/2 oz @delmagueymezcal Vida 3/4 oz @cherryheering 3/4 oz lime juice 1/4 oz simple syrup Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice.

15 Cocktail Influencers You Should Be Following on Instagram
Tumblr media
Since most of us are missing our local bartenders as much as our friends and family during the ongoing pandemic, many of us have taken to our kitchens in an attempt to make our favorite drinks ourselves. But while G&Ts and vodka sodas are great every now and again, where do we turn when we’re craving something a little more complex? Enter: the “drinkstagrammer” — or drinks Instagrammer.
These bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts have made names for themselves by sharing photos of whimsical drinks and helpful tips with their followers. So, at a time when we need inspiration more than ever, VinePair has collected a list of our 15 favorite drinkstagrammers, whom you should follow right now.

Back from a long weekend in the forest, without WiFi or cell reception. With sheltering in place + most of my clients pivoting hard to lean into the digital world, these last few months have been insane and I’ve been constantly connected 📲 It felt amazing to just rest, read and fully relax for a few days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, based on all of your responses after sharing a video of my dog Pip on my IG story, apparently you want me to focus on corgi content instead of cocktails 🤔🐕 Can’t say that I blame you. Swipe for a look at sleepy vacation Pip. 🔊✌🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #highproofpreacher

It’s fri-yay aka time for an 𝐀𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐳! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Instead of dreaming for the day we can get back into some of our favorite restaurants safely (because who knows when that will be)… let’s bring the Friday happy hour cocktails right into our home! After creating recipes for the past 4 months now, there’s a lot to choose from on our website! My personal favorite to celebrate the beginning of the weekend on a hot day is of course the Aperol Spritz. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But on a serious note, I can’t believe that 4 months ago COVID lockdown hit in the US and that actually made me really start taking Join Jules seriously. It was the only way to turn a sour situation into a good one I guess. But, I do hope these cocktails have helped cure the oh so missed happy hours and that you look forward to so many more to come… (I’m looking at you 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧)!!

Hey Y’all, Rare morning post. So many things are happening, but I wanted to thank both @mofad and @readspill for highlighting me and giving me a chance to talk about my work. . . SPILL is a hospitality co-op and online platform. This is there first online issue, and I was honored to be asked to be this month’s Industry Spotlight. Thank you to @davidmmor . . Last week (I think), I got to sit down with @sarikamin of MoFAD and talk about grief, history, @uniteamericastable and the Hospitality Census as well as my process for care. Take a listen. . . I will be linking both pieces in my story and bio. Drawing a rendition of @noahfecksisawesome photo by @cocktail_colors

. It has been blazing hot here on the Mid-Atlantic coast, and all I want to do is crush tropical cocktails. But, honestly, it’s just one of those genres of drinks that always taste better at the bar – usually because I don’t have a pebble ice machine at home (yes, it does matter). . Lately, I’ve been making some Mai Tais with @denizenrum Merchant’s Reserve, @smallhandfoods orgeat, fresh lime, and dry curaçao. That’s as complex as it gets, but it’s well worth it. . Who has some easy tiki cocktails that they have developed at home worth sharing? I’m looking for some new flavors

15 Cocktail Influencers You Should Be Following on Instagram
Tumblr media
Since most of us are missing our local bartenders as much as our friends and family during the ongoing pandemic, many of us have taken to our kitchens in an attempt to make our favorite drinks ourselves. But while G&Ts and vodka sodas are great every now and again, where do we turn when we’re craving something a little more complex? Enter: the “drinkstagrammer” — or drinks Instagrammer.
These bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts have made names for themselves by sharing photos of whimsical drinks and helpful tips with their followers. So, at a time when we need inspiration more than ever, VinePair has collected a list of our 15 favorite drinkstagrammers, whom you should follow right now.

Back from a long weekend in the forest, without WiFi or cell reception. With sheltering in place + most of my clients pivoting hard to lean into the digital world, these last few months have been insane and I’ve been constantly connected 📲 It felt amazing to just rest, read and fully relax for a few days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, based on all of your responses after sharing a video of my dog Pip on my IG story, apparently you want me to focus on corgi content instead of cocktails 🤔🐕 Can’t say that I blame you. Swipe for a look at sleepy vacation Pip. 🔊✌🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #highproofpreacher

It’s fri-yay aka time for an 𝐀𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐳! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Instead of dreaming for the day we can get back into some of our favorite restaurants safely (because who knows when that will be)… let’s bring the Friday happy hour cocktails right into our home! After creating recipes for the past 4 months now, there’s a lot to choose from on our website! My personal favorite to celebrate the beginning of the weekend on a hot day is of course the Aperol Spritz. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But on a serious note, I can't believe that 4 months ago COVID lockdown hit in the US and that actually made me really start taking Join Jules seriously. It was the only way to turn a sour situation into a good one I guess. But, I do hope these cocktails have helped cure the oh so missed happy hours and that you look forward to so many more to come… (I'm looking at you 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧)!! Let's just say this, it's only the beginning of Join Jules 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘩𝘰𝘰!

Chapter 5: Good deal, bad deal, no deal
Jules POV
“I don’t get it, why can’t I go with you?”
“Because you could pass for a sixteen year old, and sixteen year olds don’t usually carry a badge.”
“I could just wait outside.”
“Look, Jules, we agreed to let you come here with us, but you agreed back in the bunker to stay out of harms way. In my book, that means staying here until we come back. We’ll even bring you ice cream.”
“You’re a dick, Dean.”
“Don’t I know it, sweetheart.” I sighed and flopped down on one of the beds. “We’ll be back in a couple of hours, call if something happens,” Sam said as they headed out the door, dressed in cheap suits and long coats. I rolled my eyes. It was a miracle that cops didn’t see right through their little FBI act.
I lasted about forty three minutes before I gave up and headed out the door. During the car ride here I’d done some reading to find the demonic signs Dean had been talking about. I read about the girl who’d been killed, looked her up on social media to see what kind of person she was, and tried to find what it was that made her special enough for the demons to kill. I’d also gone further back to find out more information about the other murders. Sam and Dean hadn’t been too keen on sharing what they knew, so I had to find out for myself. Kelly Stewart was a straight A student, complete with being cheerleader captain, dating the sweet and popular quarterback. On top of that, she also happened to be the preacher’s daughter, meaning the most perfect girl you could ever find. Along with that steaming pile of information, I’d also found her address. Time to dig.
Her house wasn’t far, a mere fifteen minute walk from the motel. During the walk I tried to think of a backstory to feed her parents. Maybe I was the wallflower friend no one knew she had. Her other friends thought I was a charity case, and so the friendship was kept on the dl, which was why her parents didn’t know me. Yeah, that’d work.
Just as I turned the corner onto her street I spotted the butt of a familiar car. Fuck! Looking around, I spotted some bushes not far away. I dove in headfirst, scratching up my arms and undoubtedly messing up my hair. Worth it. I peeked between the leaves just in time to see Sam and Dean come out of the house. I dropped the branch and cowered down, hoping they wouldn’t spot me. I waited, and then heard the car doors open and close. But no engine. I hesitated, but then carefully looked out toward the car. Still there, but…
“Aahh!” I was pulled out of the bushes by the back of my jacket. When the shock wore off I looked up and saw Sam staring disapprovingly at me. “Awesome.”
“What the hell are you doing here?” I heard Dean ask behind me, still holding onto my jacket.
“Taking in the sights.” He dropped me back on the ground and spun me on the spot. He looked pissed.
“I thought we told you to stay at the motel.” Not a question.
“Yeah, you did.” “Okay, so I’ll ask again, what the hell are you doing here?” Okay, enough.
“Where the hell do you get off thinking you can just suddenly boss me around however you want?”
“Look, you might not get this, but what we’re doing? It’s not a hobby. This is our job.” He gestured to himself and Sam. “And we do it best when we don’t have to worry about keeping an inexperienced, naive little girl from getting hurt.”
“Who says I’ll get hurt?”
“What he’s saying,” Sam interrupted, and I turned to him. “Is that our job is easier when no one else is around to get in the way, which you would.” Punch in the gut, is what that was. Don’t back down.
“Yeah, I most definitely will if I never learn. I’m choosing this! I don’t want to run for my life, I want to learn to fight, but you’re refusing to teach me!”
“Why can’t you understand that this ain’t something any sane person would choose? Hunters don’t live glamorously, we die young and don’t get to have a life outside the job. So why would you choose this?”
“Because I want to.” Dean’s face went blank.
“I give up.” He tossed his hands in the air and turned, walking back to the car. I looked at Sam, who had a deep frown on his face.
“Let’s go,” he said.
Back at the motel I half expected Dean to cuff me to the bed before they left again, but all he did was give a look and a warning.
“Don’t leave the room again, or I swear I’ll shoot you in the foot.” Okay, maybe more of a threat than a warning.
“Yes sir, asshole, sir,” I said and gave him a salute. Blank look, clenched fists, a strained “let’s go” and a door slamming behind them. That went well.
That’s how my hours of solitude and boredom started. I flipped channels, took a shower, tried to braid my hair and failed, and built a blanket fort with the two chairs and the table by the window. I was really bored, since I hadn’t brought any books from the bunker. Five hours in I was standing on the table, a sheet tied around my shoulders and quoting batman, when the door banged open, so hard that it splintered and stuck to the wall behind it. I froze on the table as two men came through the door.
“Well, looky here,” one of them said, his eyes flashing black. “We got ourselves a little present from the Winchesters. All wrapped up too.” They dove for the table and I fell backwards, landing hard but managing to not hit my head. They moved around and tried to grab me. I lashed out with my arms and legs, trying to keep them away from me. It wasn’t nearly enough. One of them got ahold of the sheet-cape and pulled, making it tighten around my throat. My hands flew to the knot, but the pull had made the it impossible to loosen. Black spots appeared in my vision as I gasped for breath. I kicked feebly at the demon trying to hold my legs down.
“Careful, don’t kill her,” he said.
“I know,” the one strangling me growled. Darkness overtook me and my hands fell from my neck.
Reader POV
Oh for fucks sake!
“I thought I told you to stay away,” you said in a low voice to the brothers, who had just showed up at the latest crime scene, dressed up in their fed suits.
“That you did, Dorothy,” Dean said. “But you see, your reluctance to share made us curious, and we just had to know what was going on.” He was angry. You rolled your eyes.
“There’s nothing new to go on here, it’s exactly the same as the others.”
“Mind if we check ourselves?”
“Not at all,” you said, giving him a tight smile. You dropped it when you looked at Sam. He wouldn’t meet your eyes. Seeing him again had hurt you, a lot. It was like a knife in your chest, twisting more and more when you saw how angry he was outside the bunker. Now he wouldn’t even acknowledge you being there.
Dean was bent over the body, but seemed to come up empty. He stood back up.
“Happy?” you asked.
“Like you wouldn’t believe.” Dickhead. The three of you walked away from the body, making your excuses to the police, and headed back to where you’d parked.
“So what now?” you asked. You’d stopped just by the Winchesters’ car and Dean was digging in his pocket for the keys. You had to admit, you’d really missed that car. At your question Sam snorted and turned his back to you, walking away. You looked at Dean, eyebrow raised.
“What were you expecting, Y/N? That he’d just be okay when you left?” You crossed your arms over your chest and looked at the ground.
“You have no idea, Dean, no idea what happened after I left.” “You know what? I wanted to say the exact same thing to you.” You looked up at him, eyes almost watering, but you held back. Not the time.
“There’s a reason I asked you to stay away.”
“What, you’re doing the solo thing now? I thought you were going after your family, Y/N, what the hell is this?”
“Do you want me to explain or not?” Dean’s eyes hardened and he seemed to be holding back a big explosion. You were definitely not on his good side at the moment.
“Go ahead.” You took a deep breath and leaned against your baby, looking at the ground.
“I did go after them. Turns out it was a good thing I did, because daddy dearest apparently put up safety measures in case he died. I found all the key parties involved in keeping the business alive. They’re all dead now.”
“You killed them?” he asked, disbelief in his voice. You took a deep breath.
“They’re dead.”
“… You told us this was something you had to do yourself.”
“And I did.” Your tone was firm, ending any further questions. You couldn’t explain exactly how they died. It made you sick.
“We were expecting, well, hoping, that you’d come back,” Dean said in a low voice. You looked up.
“I couldn’t.”
“Too busy hunting demons?”
“Something like that.”
“Something?” He asked, obviously waiting for a better reason. You pushed off of the bike, standing straight.
“I know you know there’s something big going on, but you also need to understand that I can’t tell you anything.”
“Why not? We can help.”
“I’m not so sure you can, Dean. Not this time.” Having nothing more to say, you straddled you baby and grabbed you helmet off the handlebar. You looked back at Dean.
“I’ll ask you one last time, back off.” You pulled on the helmet finally letting the tears spill over. You started the engine and sped down the street. Your chest felt like it was going to explode. You wanted nothing more than to run into Sam’s arms, tell them both everything and apologise until you lost your voice. But you couldn’t. You’d made a deal, and you had to keep it. If you didn’t, Sam and Dean were fair game.
Dean POV
Just as Y/N drove away Dean’s phone started ringing in his pocket. He pulled it out and answered when he saw Sam’s name.
“Sammy, whe-”
“Dean, get back to the motel, now.” Sam’s tone was short, telling Dean all he had to know. Something was wrong, very wrong. He got in the car and drove way too fast to get back. After running two red lights and parking like an ass outside the motel, he ran to their room. Sam was standing in the doorway, and Dean noticed the door itself was smashed into the wall, cracked, like it had been brutally forced open. He stopped right behind his brother, looking into the room and seeing chaos. The table and chairs were knocked over and there were sheets on the floor. But the most glaring thing…
“Jules is gone,” Dean said, stating the fucking obvious.
“There’s no way she could’ve done that to the door, someone took her,” Sam muttered. Dean punched the wall.
“Son of a bitch…” He didn’t catch the look Sam shot him, one that seriously questioned Dean’s level of concern for Jules. Dean couldn’t think beyond the anger her felt at the realisation that Jules hadn’t been safe at the motel at all, because they hadn’t been with her. She’d been right, they’d refused to teach her in any way, and she’d been left with nothing but a crappy motel room door to protect her.
“We’ll find her,” Sam said, trying to calm his brother. Dean looked at Sam.
“I know we will.” His tone tried to brush off his earlier outburst. He didn’t want Sam to realise just how much Jules had come to affect him. He walked into the room, turning his back to the door and hiding his face from his brother.
Jules POV
I was woken up by a cold splash in my face. What the-… What happened? Coughing up the water I’d accidentally inhaled by the brutish wake-up I tried to get a sense of my surroundings. It was dark around me, quiet. I tried to move and realised I was tied to a chair, hands behind my back. Looking up and around I saw I was in a small room, no windows and only one door. Aside from a small lamp hanging from the ceiling and the chair I was sitting on the room was bare. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked to the side. It was a man. No, I corrected myself, seeing his eyes. Not a man.
“Good morning, sunshine.” The demon walked around the chair so we were face to face. I didn’t answer, just tried to stay calm in the face of almost certain death. This was not what I had in mind when I said I wanted to hunt demons. I wanted nothing more than to curl into a ball and wait for Dean and Sam to burst through the door. The fear was fighting to cripple me, render me useless. But I couldn’t do that, couldn’t let it, not now. My life was on the line, and I just knew that the demon would love it if I, for example, started crying. I was not going to cry.
He saw the defiance in my eyes and smirked.
“You don’t have to worry, darling, I’m under strict orders not to hurt you. Well, not too much anyway.”
“And why’s that?” I asked, glad that my voice held steady. Not so glad when his eyes flashed black and he surged forward, leaning over me. His face was close enough for me to feel his breath on my face. Suddenly there was a knife in his hand. He held it up to my face, letting the tip drag across my cheek.
“Listen here, little girl,” he said, and I could hear the edge of craziness in his voice. “I’m going to ask you one simple question, and you’re going to answer it. I know you can guess what happens if you don’t.” He moved his face into my hair, taking a deep sniff. He shivered in what could only be described as pleasure. “I can smell the fear on you, not matter how much you try to hide it.” His face moved away from my neck and he looked me in the eye. “Now, tell me, why are Sam and Dean Winchester in town?”
@carryonmyswansong I felt like such a success when I got a bob’s burgers gif :D Like that’s an honor :)
Note: This chapter was difficult to finish. I kept getting distracted by wait for it............ tumblr. I just clicked around, looking at posts, listening to music, eating a brownie and then all of a sudden it’s fucking midnight and I’m still proofreading.
