Poll analysis part 3

Well I haven't done one of these in a while because I've been focusing on the nicknames and funny tags post But we are definitely due for another one because I've definitely noticed a change and behavior. Plus we've had a lot more and fandoms requested so that might be a contributing factor.

Let's start with the unhinged trio. Think we're due for a lineup change there. It used to be JJK, Black Butler and Dorohedoro. However the latter two only go crazy over a certain character.

Jujutsu Kaisen definitely still deserves its spot There's a reason I picked them to be the first fandom to get a Nicknames and funny tags post in fact they need an update Desperately because you guys are still up to your same old unhinged antics. I've just been busy with other fandoms (one piece) that say even more outrageous crap in the comments

Now One Piece I think you guys took that nickname and funny tag post as a challenge to be as unhinged and creative with your tags as possible because every time I think you all can't possibly get any worse. Someone puts a tag that's even crazier and now I have to update that post with more tags and new characters again.

Now the third spot of the unhinged trio should probably go to Trigun because you guys can't stop talking about Wolfwood's slutty Catholic titties and Vash's snatched little slutty waist. Plus someone has sent a match up request of their weapons no less than three times even though the rules plainly state no weapons so I think we definitely qualify for unhedged trio territory.

My Hero Academia You guys only showed up for the bunny girl and I get it. She's hot. Or to crap on endeavor, that's about it.

Attack on Titan. I finally have found proof of life. The fandom might be in a coma, but at least there's a pulse I thought that fandom was dead but someone or group of people is sending in quite a few requests for that fandom.

And now on to Naruto my problem child fandom. I am not kidding You're the fandom that refuses us to send in photos, but will throw a tantrum if it's not the photo from the correct era of the anime even though I have no clue what you're talking about. Normally when people don't like the photo with any other fandom a dozen better photos of the character will randomly appear in my inbox. Not with the Naruto fandom. I get 10 hate messages saying it's from the wrong era of the anime and I should know that. But does anyone send me a better photo from the correct era of the anime? No. Well actually that's not entirely true the a few times this fandom has sent in replacement photos it's from when in the anime I know the characters are still 14 I've done way too much research into when in canon characters turn 16 and what particular character design/outfit marks that in the timeline for this particular show because of how much I feel like I can't trust this particular fandom as a whole to follow rules. So, remember people I can't read your mind and you are the only fandom that wants to throw a fit over photos like this. Plus the few times I have tried to address the issues with the photos and try to fix the problem you guys want to get combative and very aggressive in the comments. Plus I swear you all are allergic to rules because at least 70% to 80% of requests relating to your fandom have some sort of issue. Whether it's trying to bend the rules or just outright breaking them to massive formatting problems. No other fandom causes me this many headaches. So please for the sake of my sanity do better

Sorry about that. I needed to rant about my problem child fandom maybe now they will start behaving.

When it comes to formatting there is a group of about three people that made requests either everyday or every 2 to 3 days and it was the max amount of request/matchups they could do in a single day according to the rules. They did this the entire time the box was open so they had their formatting down to a science. So basically any fandom that these people requested a lot of had really good track records for formatting and not trying to blatantly break the rules. So One Piece, JoJo's, Attack on Titan and Avatar/Korra all have very good track records right now

But with most fandoms they do a pretty good job of following the rules. No one is as bad as Naruto. Now there are some common issues and major incidents I've had so I'll go ahead and list them below

The common issues are just forgetting to put the name of the show or spelling, but Google can normally figure that out so that's not a major problem or people submitting a character that is video game only and not part of the anime adaptation. Persona, pokémon and Tekken are The worst offenders when it comes to this. Other major issues that come up frequently are with character ages? But it's normally with characters that look like they're adults. So I really don't hold that against people. I'm just guessing that people didn't realize they're actually teenagers but hopefully that will not be as much of a problem but since I dropped the age down to 16.

Now recent issues I've had to address were formatting issues where it was bad enough that I couldn't make it out due to dyslexia. Trigun has tried to submit weapons no less than three times even though that is blatantly against the rules. Like I mentioned earlier Naruto likes to submit photos from when the characters are 12 to 14 that doesn't fit the rules especially when photos are available from the correct age range that do follow the rules. So those are the ones I use no matter how many times they throw temper tantrums. Dungeon Meshi has submitted a 14-year-old and Soul Eater submitted a 13-year-old and said they were 16 in the request. So they lied. Luckily someone told me so I was able to delete those polls quite quickly, but now I can't trust anyone. So if you ever wonder why it takes so long for me to empty out the request box this is why

Oh but good news, no one has submitted a request since I've closed the box I basically consider that a miracle because the last two times there have been people that have not cared that the box is closed. So let's keep it that way please. I don't mind questions, just no requests. The box is closed I still have like 150 more individual messages that have multiple poll requests on them to get through before I open it again

Well that's going to be all for this post again. And I hope at least someone found this entertaining or informative or at least something. There will probably be another one of these in the future

I have returned. And today I come with quite a number of ships so like brace yourselves, I'll keep popping in between my work. Speaking of prongsfoot, can we talk about just how perfect Remus/Peter would be?

1. They'll be the EPITOME of soft cottagecore. Baking, reading, picnics, growing plants, taking care of any wounded animals in the nearby area they'll just be so sidnsmsjdlsnsjdb

2. Peter knits. And he makes all the sweaters for Remus. And Remus absolutely adores watching him walking around with yarn and needles just going at it whenever wherever he gets the chance to

3. Cut to Remus being absolutely destroyed when it gets to him that Sirius killed his boyfriend but not being able to do anything as he sinks into his mind and never comes out. The reason he goes to Hogwarts in Harry's 3rd year is because he knows Sirius will be there. Him trying to kill him and Sirius trying to explain what really happened. And him demanding proof cause he's never seen Sirius be more... serious about anything else. And then the betrayal he feels when he sees said proof. Cut to him burning all the sweaters.

4. In this scenario, I like to think Peter started our as a spy for Dumbledore but he got turned into a death eaters for reals. Or he thought that the baby Voldy was targeting was actually Neville and he convinced himself that once Neville was taken care of, all his friends and his boyfriend will be safe. I have no idea where I'm going with this

5. They're both not players but they'll go up to the stands whenever prongsfoot is practicing and it'll be a cute double date

6. Remus can't figure out his feelings and talk about them for the life of him. But Peter, even tho shy, is very honest and cut the crap kind of person. With a little encouragement from Jamie, it works out really well.

7. Peter started getting into poetry because of Remus. (I actually was gonna type books there but my fingers just went and said poetry so we're going with it) He first started reading them to impress Remus but he couldn't actually understand them much. Later he fell in love with them. Or more specifically, he fell in love with how excited Remus got when talking about them. They'll both be in the kitchen and Peter will be walking around doing whatever needs to be done for what he is baking and Remus will be sat in one corner of the tabletop and talking animatedly about whichever poem he read/ was reading.

8. Ohhh they'll be so soft with each other I'm gonna cry. Sorry I'm making my point again. But like imagine like blurry sunlight coming in through paper thin curtains and baby's breathe flowers nestled between sunflowers and the smell of a bakery and the comfort in old sweaters and soft shy glances and pinkies intertwined and wishing on dandelions. That's them.

Ok I actually really likes doing that (8). It was kind of like a moodboard but with words. I'm gonna start doing it for all the ships now hehe. I'll come back later and do the same for the older ships I was ranting to you about (do you maybe happen to remember which ones they were? Or do you have them tagged?)

9. Their shipname would probably be "Moontail" I think... other possibilities are wormy which just sounds like a nickname for Pete. Or moonworm which isn't that bad ig but idk.

10. I think their ship is the one with the least possibility of an angsty beginning. Hit me with whatever you got tho. I think I'm slowly seeping back into my fluff phase from my smut phase (dw the cycle will continue and I'll be back to angst again lmfao)

Pls keep popping up I love it when you do :D I sadly won't be able to reply tho bc I have cooking today 😔 so you'll have to wait until I'm back home

HSJEBSONEO REMUS X PETER!!! I LOVE YOUR MIND!!

1) they so are, you are so correct!

2) omg he doesssss. it's his go-to gift for everyone, but especially for remus <3

3) oh fuck... that's so heartbreaking wtf :( but I can absolutely see it happen

4) I don't think that it would make sense that he thought the baby he was talking about neville at the beginning sure, but he told voldemort where the potters where so obviously he knew that it wasn't neville

5) absolutely. they wear matching sweaters :)

6) yesss. like I said before peter confesses first

7) awweee that's so cute! I can totally see that happen omgg

8) I love this. every time I see ships or characters described like that I melt. pls do do that :D

9) moontail sounds so cute omg >w< but moonworm is kinda cute too

10) "unrequited" that's all I'm going to say (it's my go-to lol)

I can't wait to see what else you come up with :)

#the lover with the great ideas #marauders #marauders era #marauders fandom #remus lupin #peter pettigrew #remus x peter #moontail #moonworm #wow... you're bad at parking

sorry for the long rant but i've been reading a bit about kimi's family and thought you might be interested in knowing a bit about it beyondg the dts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Antonelli i don't think toto knew marco prior to the minardis scouting kimi in 2017/2018 (which was what i thought originally when i learned how much toto liked antonelli) but they definitely connected afterwards and got pretty close - e.g., toto was driving a gt3(?) with his dad's name on it earlier this march and kimi coached jack's karting (as well as the other kids in the akm kart division when he had the time). the akm motorsports running f4 and kart was a recent development in 2020, a collaboration with dino chiesa (who owned kart republic, and with whom nico ran his racing academy and had kimi as one of his protégé). comparing to the other previous merc juniors, kimi is definitely born into a racing family so he has more access than george, but his career is still being sponsored by merc almost to 100% and you could sort of tell by the lack of sponsors on his liveries & overalls compared to some other drivers. (and marco isn't as prestigious as some other prema kids' dad, say montoya, fittipaldi, or wurz) i don't think he's a nepo baby in the sense that he could afford to move along in the feeder series, to buy a lot of the testing opportunities, or a seat if not for merc's development programme. but with that said i do think f1 is getting more and more expansive and it's extremely hard to get into the sports if you don't have some sort of background. so we would probably never see someone who's def not a nepo baby again (like lh for example). which is what i dislike about the sports and i resonate with you in your tag about the disappointment regarding the nepo babies.

hi! very important lore here omg thank you!

The Wolffs and Antonelli’s definitely seem close given how often we see them appear in each other’s lives and i was definitely running under the assumption it was a long-term relationship since Kimi was like a baby (base off the quote Toto said on Kimi testing in the W13 last week) so thank you for the correction of it originally being a business/recruitment endeavor that grew into family-friendship.

And even before being scouted, it is interesting how he’s sort of been interconnected with Merc before gaining his official position on the Junior Team. The bit with Nico training and working with him is especially fun, very much two greats from two generations haha.

On funding: Yes the Merc funding they have put into his is insane. I think it really speaks with just how good he is. They wouldn’t continue to foot bill if not for the continued proof of his skill, nor pay to the extent of him not looking for other sponsors.

Nepotism is so intertwined in this sport but it’s kinda sad how this grid will probably be the last with so many from non-racing/wealthy families as in the next couple years more and more wealthy/racing families will join and find their way to F1. (this isn’t to say that there isn’t a lot already, just more than now, to my knowledge)

Kimi and his relationship with Mercedes and the Wolffs is very interesting and i’d love any more input if anyone had any!

moot. the tags. your tags on the fatui harbinger found family post. they got my brain working. i am having thoughts and i think you might enjoy them. SORRY FOR RANTING IN YOUR INBOX BUT THE THOUGHTS....... they cannot be contained in the idea prison that is my brain

I AM HEARING YOU OUT. SO SO HARD. they are not like the bubu pharmacy found family, they are not like any of the mondstadt found families, they aren't even anything like nahida + wanderer's found family even though wanderer WAS a part of the fatui harbingers' found family at one point. they are not like any of those people. they are so much worse. because the fatui harbingers are so inextricably bound to one another by sin and anarchy to the point where even if they downright despise one another, there is nothing to be done about it, because they are the ONLY people on teyvat who understand one another on that grossly and uncomfortably personal level...... and they all probably hate it, but they also know it is 100% true. because there is literally nowhere for them to go, even if they wanted to leave (scara is the odd outlier; he paved his own way out i think) because there is not a single sane person on teyvat that would welcome them with open arms the way the tsaritsa and the other harbingers do. the fatui harbingers are so inextricably linked with sin and chaos that they can no longer separate themselves from that, especially the ones that seem a little less sane than the others (dottore pantalone signora arlecchino etc).

i think there are varying levels of dependency among the harbingers, like.... childe and pulcinella. it's one-sided, i think. childe relies on him but he does not rely on childe. pantalone and dottore, who make each other worse every day 🫶 i was talking about this with another moot and we agreed that they perpetually make one another more vile and awful. i think they consistently feed into each other's vices. pantalone funding dottore's experiments and dottore entertaining pantalone's heretical and conspiracist tendencies. and then scara and dottore. maybe sandrone and scara at one point. maybe arlecchino and signora before she died (i feel like they were close 🙏 women supporting women yk 🙏🙏). columbina and dottore! capitano, columbina, AND dottore. capitano and childe. there are a lot of dynamics to be explored.

but anyway.... teehee. i do think they have a dynamic of dependency, just with varying degrees depending on what pair you look at. the dependency can be discarded in some cases. i think childe could get over pulcinella if necessary. but in other cases, the harbingers are SO deeply intertwined that the dependency just cannot be dropped so easily.

tldr they are a genuinely dysfunctional found family in the most honest sense of the word 🙏🙏🙏 they destroy one another and they are all aware of that. and they may or may not be fine with that fact, depending on which harbinger you asked.

would they kill for each other? maybe. maybe not. would they die for each other? no LMFAO probably not, but they definitely have a twisted, messed up kind of affection for one another.

they know how to irritate one another. they know how to calm each other down. they know each other uncomfortably well and they cannot do anything about it 🫶🫶🫶

MOOT YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THIS. YOU GET IT. THEY'RE SO HORRIBLE WITH AND FOR EACH OTHER. THEY'RE DOING THEIR MESSY, CRUEL, AND (periodically) VIOLENT BEST. also oh my god no your thoughts are always welcome! i was actually delighted when i saw this HAHSHSHSH

also you're so absolutely correct on their dynamics. contrary to all the fanart i think childe and pulcinella have a sort of from-an-arm's-length relationship; it's implied that pulcinella is probably just showing affection to childe's family as a way to threaten/control him and childe — bless his heart — thinks he "seems genuine". keyword: seems. so while childe does display some level of trust he also doesn't completely take the plunge, y'know? i like to think that pulcinella is simultaneously looking out for childe but also trying to keep him on a leash. he is genuinely fond of childe but he also views him as the tsaritsa's attack dog. so yeah childe is kind of like. a pet LMFAO a really dangerous, potentially harmful pet that pulcinella can't help but be fond of but also knows that he has to keep him under snezhnaya's control.

you and the other moot are so correct on dottolone. i ADORE dottolone it's genuinely my favorite ship in genshin (notice how even in my x reader fic i couldn't help but include them LOL). toxic old men yaoi ftw. they're so fucking awful for one another and they do make each other worse but neither of them mind it. it is actively encouraged. with them it's a very twisted kind of love — the kind that consumes and devours until there's nothing left. the kind of love that requires you to give up all of you because there's no telling where one begins and the other ends. these bitches are married and thrice-divorced. they are on their way to another. they will become exes-with-benefits and then get married again.

also on the topic of dottore and scara. i'm not a big dottoscara person but i do admit that their relationship's got a little kick to it. not necessarily romantic but insanely co-dependent. both being rejects/outcasts?? longing for acceptance?? the amount of insane projecting?? tatarasuna in its entirety?? the give-and-take relationship during their time in the fatui?? what the hell was going on with them. ALSO 'you're still too naive if you think a few words will be enough to convince me to destroy the doctor' still boggles my mind. dottore was threatening haypasia, scara's first follower, someone scara shows a lot of possessiveness over (not to mention scara is already very antagonistic towards dottore even without knowing the truth. there is no love lost between them) and THAT'S his response??? bro.

i like to think there was a weird friendship between sandrone and scara. wanderer doesn't like her based on his voicelines but if he were forced to pick any harbinger to talk to it'd be her. still doesn't like her tho lol. i also hc arle and signora to be close! esp with how defensive arle was during her funeral. columbina and dottore are sadistic partners-in-crime. i'm not very big on dottobina but i do like them as a queerplatonic relationship. the top three (capitano, dottore, columbina) for me are like those kids in the honors class who've literally been stuck together repeatedly for years atp so there's a kind of strange camaraderie between them. they sit together at lunch. they (dottore and bina, i don't think capitano would) complain about how hard their jobs are but are the most efficient at it. i also think all of them are hundreds, perhaps even more, of years old (proud follower of biblically accurate angel columbina and abyssal monster capitano headcanons) so they've been stuck together for centuries. childe having a big fat crush on capitano is really funny and i love it. to add: pantalone going on tangents around childe like a particularly annoying uncle and childe just having to nod along is hilarious. i think there's a lot more to them than we know of? aside from that, childe is also heading debt collection which is adjacent to pantalone being in charge of snezhnaya's finances so. hm. the fatui women are all friends and have sunday brunch. i like chiscara too i think it's funny esp when psychological warfare and violence is used as flirting. arlebina is okay i don't really ship columbina w anyone bc she gives off aroace vibes. not even that really it's just that she's like a primordial being beyond things like romance AHDJEJDJWKA. pantalone and signora are two-faced friends who talk about each other behind their backs and (since they were married in the commedia) probably were fwbs at some point in time. scara showing the most miniscule concern for signora and warning her to not get herself killed was really interesting to me — and also how she so casually insulted him? hmm.

ALSO. GOD. they know each other's real names and each other's backgrounds. they are the only ones who do. i think it's fascinating that they canonically hit each other with the most brutal insults ("you're only number 6 because you can take more abuse than other humans" was so out of pocket like. SIGNORA. GIRL) and it's all brushed off without a care. i think in a way it's a comfort — what judgement could there possibly be from those exactly like them?

anyways. the fatui harbingers are a grotesque, co-dependent, and very toxic little found family and i adore them in their entirety. lord god i want to write a fic about them now 😭 i still have a bio midterm....

I swear I remember seeing your critique/opinion on the Hades game at some point but now I cannot find it. I've scrolled through so many of your posts and tags and I still can't find anything in relation to it. Despite remembering your name attached to the post, I'm starting to convince myself that I saw someone else's post and not yours.

In any case, I would really like to know your thoughts on it. I'm not Greek but I am a casual player of the game, and recently (thanks to a friend of mine who is Greek) I've been interested in how Greek people view the way Greek mythology is being used in western media. So far I've only seen rants on Lore Olympus, which is admittedly a story I've always disliked. Even without the context of it misusing Greek mythology and spreading misinformation about the culture, it is still in general just a bad story with equally bad characters. The fact that it IS bastardising Greek mythos is the cherry on top, but without it it can't stand on its own two feet. It's literally relying on the content of Greek myths, otherwise it would not have gained the positive attention it still has today, yet it still has the audacity to treat the context of Greek myths and culture so poorly. I have a lot of beef with Rachel Smythe because of this. It's why I'm anonymous, I don't want to get harassed by her fanbase if they see this 😅

Hades, on the other hand, is a game I enjoyed a lot, and because of that I want to challenge myself and possibly learn a thing or two from an actual Greek person. I don't want to just agree with someone when it is something I already dislike and then completely ignore them when it has to do with something I do like but possibly has problems.

If you haven't shared your thoughts yet, I'd really love to see them. If you've already made a post or more about it, I would appreciate you directing me to them or to the tags where I can find them, cause I'm genuinely lost (how does Tumblr work???)

I'm sorry for the long ask, I understand you spend a lot of your time answering questions and dealing with ignorant people. It must be tiring. Thank you for your time ❤

Hello! Thank you for the asks and the supportive words 💙 here's the tagged posts :) the tag is #hades game . (Tumblr doesn't make our lives easy, does it?)

TL;DR for those who won't bother to look: Game looks fun and I'm thinking of playing it in the future but it's far from "Greek representation" and "Greek culture". It has some references to Greek mythology; some quite obscure (so they can mess canon things up without being called out xD) and others very superficial, like when someone might think of cowboys when thinking about the USA.

While nobody minds some creativity regarding the Greek myths, and we all enjoy a fun game, it's also good to know when a "Greek myth" product is not what it sells itself to be. To be fair the game itself never said it's going to be accurate, but almost nobody checks for accuracy anymore and they assume that what they see is correct, so the game doesn't have to put a disclaimer "we are inaccurate" to begin with.

Stray Kids in Atlanta: An Incoherent Rant

In no particular order, some of my thoughts about the concert (and a bit about the events surrounding it)

So I ran into some of the members at the aquarium. Watched a girl sprint out of the Tunnel clutching her mouth crying, her friends following closely behind. 'They're fucking here, aren't they?' I was correct- I didn't want to wait on the conveyer belt, so I just walked past them. I saw Hyunjin, Han, and Seungmin, and apparently I.N. was also there. They had a small entourage, so they seemed to be mostly left alone, but I did see later that someone posted photos of them to the facebook group.

I went both days and accidentally got soundcheck both days. For those curious, I'd recommend side of the extended stage if you're going to be on the floor.

The crowd seemed pretty equally supportive, which I was glad for. Maybe Lee Know had the least cheers, but Lee Know was also the most reticent on stage so I think there's a bit of correlation there. Regardless, I saw plenty of his stans.

Changbin was very playful with the crowd. Like ooh boy, the Leo Moon just popped out.

Felix gave me very similar energy to Vernon from Seventeen (who I also saw in Atlanta last year). Not that I think their personalities are the same, but they were equally good at hyping the crowd, though Felix's stage presence was a little less introverted

Seungmin is way more clever than I realized. I could totally see him being an Aquarius Rising if only to put his Mercury in the 9th house. Also, completely a shit stirrer- he was ready to strip his team on stage for the glory.

I'm still betting on Han being a Leo Rising. A lot of energy on an introverted personality. He was very sweet to the crowd as well as the members on stage.

Chan was less interactive than the other members during soundcheck, mostly because I believe he was conversing with the band for a lot of it. (Shoutout to the band- I fcking LOVED that they gave them so much stage time. The vibes were *chefs kiss*)

Regardless of number 8, Chan DID see my sign for Day 2 and laughed, so mission accomplished.

I ended up standing next to a Hyunjin fansite day 1. While I didn't catch her tag or anything, if you felt that you saw less of his photos from this date, It's because she was trying to dodge me jumping. Sorry

Overall I had a great time- Stray Kids' music really works for the concert setting....but we already knew that. I wish that the floor had been General Admission, if only to be able to mosh a bit more xD

Also, sorry for the delay on this- I received some bad family news during the concert and then more last night. It's been a very emotional 48 hours. If you feel I missed something or have any questions, you know where to go

“So he finally talked to you about it?” Keeho laughs as he stares into the camera, “Jheez I honestly thought he was gonna continue torturing himself over it,”

“Yeah I mean, he was really upset over it dude. I don’t know why he’d feel so upset over it, it wasn’t even his fault,” you sigh. It had been a few days since Jisung had spoken to you about why he had been so distant, but though you had originally thought you’d feel better by him talking to you; you’d managed to make yourself feel worse. You felt bad that he had felt shitty about the situation, it wasn’t his fault any of it happened yet he still felt bad. How were you expected not to feel bad about it? You made your friends worry, and worse he had felt so bad that he hid himself away for a few weeks.

“Probably because he cares a lot about you, I’d have felt the same if I were in his shoes, plus there's the whole rant he went on with me about it.”

“Wait what?”

“Yeah he was going on about I left you to him, and he feels bad he’s not doing enough, he just wants to make you happy and all that shit,” Keeho looks at you confused as he tilts his head to allow the stylist to adjust a few things on him. “I’m glad he talked to you though, honestly he needs to learn to be more open with his feelings, can’t let a pretty girl get him all flustered like that.” Keeho scoffs, “I mean how does the man survive on tour?” you laugh loudly at the remark.

“Please Kee, flustered?” you giggle, “Stressed is the better word!”

“No, flustered is the correct one you dimwit. Or did he not tell you about how he-”

“Kee it’s time to go.” Taeyang appears on the screen waving to you, before turning back to Keeho. He simply nods and turns back to you,

“We’ll continue this later,” he smiles,

“Have fun out there!” you smile,

“Have a fun morning Y/N, I’ll call you when I can!” and with that he was gone, and you were back to working on your track. You had only woken up this early to get a chance to talk to him, and the conversation was nice. You missed your best friends and talking to them was nice. Though most of the time it would be a quick conversation, and interrupted ninety eight percent of the time it was still nice to see them.

Your morning mainly consisted of finishing up a song you had been working on for months, and finalizing the vocals for the song you had worked on with Changbin. In all it was a busy morning until noon when you’d have to begin getting ready for a meeting with Leah. After a few arguments with your family you had given in to meeting with her to discuss the dress you'd wear as her maid of honor because for some unknown reason she had decided you’d be staying in that role. You didn’t have to plan anything, the planner had that all down, but still it felt more and more as a chore rather than a joyous event.

ꕀ❀ꕀ

“Y/N. You cannot just leave your sister like this, are you stupid?”

“Mom, I'm not leaving her? She picked a fight with me in front of my-”

“Your little friends crushed her that day Y/N how could you let that happen? You are her older sister, you are supposed to be there for her!” Your mother scolded you, of course you knew you had to be there for her but no one ever seemed to listen to the concerns you had. No one ever saw the fault Leah had, and always pinned the blame on you because you’re the older one, you’re supposed to be more responsible, and Leah was their perfect little angel who could do absolutely no wrong.

“Mom-”

“Y/N you fix this shit with your sister, I’m not going to let you ruin her big day like this. So get your shit together or else” you could picture the face she was making, a mixture of disappointment and anger. That look in her eyes that would tell you that everything was your fault.

ꕀ❀ꕀ

As you sat in the coffee shop awaiting Leah’s arrival, you spent time texting Changbin who’d been asking about how the song was coming along. You laughed as he joked about how if you kept tweaking the song it would become an entirely new one,

Gym Bro [12:04 pm] Hear me out tho

You [12:04 pm] Listening

Gym Bro [12:05 pm] What if you just post the song?

You [12:06pm] Are you crazy? It’s not finished?

Gym Bro [12:06 pm] It’s a good song as is, in your ears it’s never going to be perfect. This is why we have people to review things. If you’re really unsure, let me, Ji, and Chan listen to the full thing and give you some advice on what could be improved. Like I said, if you keep doing it yourself you’ll never think it’s good enough.

You [12:08 pm] Damn you got deep there ;)

Gym Bro [12:08 pm] Oh my god, why are you like this?

You [12:08 pm] I’m joking! But yeah maybe I’ll let you guys just listen to it, but maybe not Chan.

Gym Bro [12:09 pm] THE FUCK YOU MEAN NOT CHAN? He’s probably the best one to listen to the track?

You [12:11 pm] You know exactly why.

You sigh as you look at the time, Leah is well over fifteen minutes late for the ‘scheduled’ meeting the two of you made. As much as it did help not seeing her for now, you’d rather just get it fully over with as quick as possible. Your phone buzzed once more, as the sound of the bell jingling rang throughout the cafe. Leah had finally arrived.

“Sister!” she exclaimed as she rushed towards your table, “How have you been my sweet?” your body cringed at the nickname. How could she act so sweet to you after everything? Brushing it off you force a smile to her as she pulls you into a hug.

“Alright, just working and you?” you give her an award winning smile, that would truly convince anyone in the cafe that the two of you were truly happy to see each other.

“Stressed, but you know how it is; planning a wedding and such.” Leah smirks at you, “Or I mean, you have heard of the stress.”

“I’m sure your planner has got it under control.” You sigh as you sit back down in your chair, swirling the spoon in your coffee as a way to distract yourself from the impending sense of doom building up in your stomach. You watch as the black coffee swirls around in the cup as the silence between Leah and yourself becomes thicker, the honey in which you had put in your coffee had fully melted and dissolved long before her arrival and yet you stirred as if it had been freshly placed. A part of you wished you could slip a shot of something into it, because dealing with Leah required a level of intoxication that would help on drowning out her annoying whines and complaints. Bailey’s would be nice, no. Something stronger, whiskey. That would help. You thought to yourself,

“Anyways listen, what I was thinking for the bridesmaids would be something light pink, and for you I’d have you in something darker to stand out more from them. Unless, you want to blend in with them.” Leah began, “You do have a terrible habit of being unnoticeable so, I think something more bold would be best.” you couldn’t tell what kind of statement that was. Rude at best. “Nothing too bold though, I can’t have you taking any sort of attention away from me.”

“I thought I was unnoticeable,” you scoff as you bring your coffee to your lips, the now cold liquid sliding down with ease as you take a sip. Leah shakes her head, before bringing her binder out of her bag.

“Anyways, I don’t have time to explain every little thing to you; also you never actually answered the Save The Date, so I just marked you down that you’re coming alone seeing as you definitely don’t have the time to find a date, seeing as you’re much too invested in your…song, or apparently still being in love with my fiance to start looking for someone new.” Something about her assumption threw you off, you choked on your coffee as you looked up at her smiling down at you as if she had something against you, “Honestly it really is awkward that you’re still into him. You need to get over it please y/n.” the statement almost had you spitting your coffee back out at her, her look feigning innocence began to cause your blood to boil. Your cheeks heating up as you set your mug back down.

“I have a date.” you mutter, as she gives you wide eyes. “I’m over him Leah, no need to worry.”

“Fantastic! And who is this date of yours, I can mark him down now so that I can give the list to my planner.” Leah tilts her head, awaiting an answer. Truthfully you hadn’t thought of who you’d bring as a date, but her statements today lead you to say something you hadn’t fully thought through.

“My RSVP is in the mail, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the surprise.” it was not.

“Splendid, I’m excited to see who this mystery man is!” Leah laughs, standing from her seat. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an appointment to alter my dress today.”

“You chose your dress already?”

“Yes, and sorry love. But no matter what you say that dress looked too good on me to pass up. So, yeah.” with that Leah throws her purse and tote over her shoulder and begins to leave. “I’ll send you the name of the shop to find your dress! Love ya!” and then she was gone.

ꕀ❀ꕀ

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck” You yell into the pillow as Mini sits at the edge of the bed. Of course you just had to go and let Leah get under your skin and say something stupid. “What do I do? I don’t have a date? And Now she’s expecting me to RSVP within this week because my dumbass said it was already in the mail!”

“Calm down and breathe dude,” Mini sighs, “Finding a date won’t be all that hard,”

“Easy for you to say, all you have to do is look at Hyune and he’s following you to the ends of the earth. I on the other hand do not have anyone that would do so. Nor anyone readily available to play boyfriend so that I don’t have to deal with Leah’s stupid fucking behaviour.” You complain,

“You act like we don’t have eight men ready to help you out at any moment.” Mini laughs, “I’m sure any of them would be glad to ‘play’ boyfriend for a night!”

“Min your math isn’t mathing.”

“What do you mean by that?” she gives you a confused look,

“Hyune is taken so that's minus one, so are Bin, Chan, Lix and Minho. So that’s three left. AND I’m not really willing to put Minnie and Innie through that pain and Ji’s already felt like shit because of Leah so he’s out of the question too-”

“Well I guess your only option is to bring nine leebits stacked in a trenchcoat, at least then they’d be taller than you.” Mini laughs, as she throws the plush toy at you,

“That is so oddly specific… how do you know nine is-”

“Listen there are a lot of things you do not want to know, and my skzoo abuse is part of that, anyways there's absolutely no harm in asking them is all I’m saying, and we both know ALL of them would help, it’s just how they are.” you contemplated the idea, sure bringing one of them to the wedding isn’t a terrible idea in itself, but the idea of having any of those boys endure Leah was enough to make your entire body cringe. If Taeyang or Stephen had been around for sure, you’d drag them to it. They already knew how she was; and more specifically how to cope with her constant need for attention.

Little Secret

A/N: Reposting this since tumblr finally got it together and my posts now show up on tags. I hope y’all enjoy!

Pairing: Jack Harlow x Rockstar!OFC

———-

Hate the fact that you gotta wait, but you gon’ wait ‘Cause you confident that we soulmates I told my therapist about you She always takes your side Ain’t nobody I love more, I just need more time

Marley sighed as her phone rang and buzzed across the counter in front of her. She barely resisted the urge to roll her eyes as she reached out to silence it.

“You don’t think making that his ringtone is a little overkill?” Kia, her hairstylist shook her head and locked eyes with her in the mirror, “Also, it’s been three weeks. You know he’s just going to keep calling and texting, right?"

She snorted, “Let him seethe. It’s what he deserves for embarrassing me.”

The other woman gently squeezed her shoulders before she returned to working on her hair, “Mar, the public doesn’t even know about you two. As far as they know, you two are just friends who met while featuring on Nas’ song a few years ago.”

“You know,” the singer held up her hand and started counting, “All of Purple Hull knows. All of Private Garden knows. Our close industry friends know. I couldn’t care less about the public, but he’s not going to embarrass me in front of our friends!”

Kia started to respond, but Marley kept ranting, “And what’s worse is he did it on some snake shit. How do you play me every song but that one before the album drops?” She crossed her arms, “Because he knew his ass was going to be in trouble. So, he can go be with the rest of his fucking roster. I’m a generational talent. He ain’t bout to play me like I’m in the G-League when I’m clearly a Luka.”

Riley, who had been silently observing their exchange from her seat on the couch, finally spoke up to ask, “You’re going to curse him out tonight, aren’t you?”

“If he keeps his distance, no,” she huffed.

Riley pushed herself off the couch, “Let me go change out of these heels into flats, just in case.”

*******************************

This is Marley. Sorry to miss your call. I’ve got the machine; you’ve got the message. You know what to do.

With a frustrated groan, Jack hit the end call button on his steering wheel without leaving a message.

He ran a hand through his hair as he spoke to his best friend, “She hasn’t answered me in three weeks, Urb.”

Urban didn’t even glance his way as he responded, “Gee, I wonder why?”

“She’s literally a rockstar,” he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. “She’s acting like she’s never embellished a song.”

“If you thought the song was fine, you wouldn’t have hidden it from her when you played her the album. Which, by the way, we all told you was a terrible plan.” Urban took a hit of his blunt before he continued, “You gotta admit, ‘but you gon wait’ does make her sound like a lost puppy following you around just waiting for you to decided she’s good enough to commit to.”

“No one even knows it’s about her,” he argued.

“No one outside of our circles knows it’s about her,” Urban corrected, “but y'all both travel with big ass entourages, bro. We’re easily in the double digits of people who know about you two and your complicated ass relationship.”

“I said good things about her in that song and on Poison,” he defended.

Urban laughed, “Shit, don’t take any drinks from her tonight. She might actually poison your ass, but like the bad kind.”

Jack reached over to lightly smack his friend on the shoulder, “You stay thinking you’re funny and this ain’t it.”

Urban shrugged and took another drag, “As long as I’m laughing, I could give a fuck if you do.”

Jack flipped him off before he turned the radio up to end the conversation.

*******************************

As soon as they entered the venue, the rest of Marley’s band and her team headed straight to the bar or dance floor.

Marley decided to make her way over to the man of the hour to get her well wishes out of the way since she knew as the night wore on, more people would be showing up. She climbed up the spiral staircase to the VIP section and gave her name to the bouncer standing guard. After he let her in, she made a beeline for Nas.

As soon as he saw her, he pulled her in for a hug while exclaiming, “Marley!”

“Nas!” She pulled back slightly, arms still wrapped around his waist, and looked up at him, “How’s my favorite rapper?”

He flashed her a big grin as he answered, “Oh, he’s sulking around here somewhere since you ducking calls and texts.”

The singer dropped her arms and nudged him with her shoulder, “Imma be nice to you since it’s your birthday, but know that you need to get your jokes in now because that carriage changes into a pumpkin at midnight and I’m gonna drag your ass.”

“You wouldn’t dare.” He reached out and pinched her cheek, “You love me too much to be mad at me for more than 2 seconds.”

“Just because it’s true doesn’t mean you have to say it!”

He slung an arm around her shoulder as he asked, “Just do me a favor, okay?”

She shot him a skeptical look as she inquired, “What?”

“There are private rooms in the hallway right off the bathrooms. If you’re gonna give him hell, do it in one of those?” he pleaded.

Marley pretended to be offended, “Are you saying I’m gonna cause a scene?”

Nas laughed, “Girl, I’ve seen you in a mosh pit. Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.”

*******************************

Marley leaned against the bar, sipping on her whiskey sour. She felt someone slide into the seat next to her and she knew, before she even looked over, exactly who it would be.

“So how long do you plan on pretending I don’t exist, pretty girl?” Jack tried to keep his face and posture neutral since he knew cameras were around to cover the party, “Because I’m only in LA for the next 5 days and you’re wasting time we could be spending together.”

Marley scoffed, “I’m giving you the time you so publicly requested.”

He rolled his eyes, “I do believe the song said I needed more time, not space.”

“Well, as you know from experience, I’ve always been a generous lover so I’m kind enough to give you both.” She turned toward him to look him up and down, “You’re welcome.”

Marley downed her drink, set the glass back on the bar, and slid off the bar stool to walk away, but Jack lightly grabbed her arm and gently guided her back into the space between his open legs.

Even though he was sitting, and Marley was standing, their height difference still required him to lean down a bit to whisper in her ear, “I know Nas gave you the same directions as me so we can either head to one of those back rooms or you can cause a scene, Marley girl.” Jack released her arm, “Your choice.”

Marley took a step away from him and turned around to glare at him before she motioned towards the bathrooms, “I’ll follow. You don’t get the privilege of watching this ass walk in front of you.”

Jack couldn’t help but chuckle at her statement as he stood and began making his way through the crowd with Marley holding onto the back of his shirt to make sure that they didn’t get separated.

Once they found an unoccupied room, he opened the door to allow her to enter first, but she just stared at him until he entered first. Once Marley entered the room, she shut the door and locked it before she leaned against it.

Jack started to reach out to pull her toward him, but she held up a hand to stop him. He dropped his arms and reached up to scratch the back of his neck.

“You’re seriously bothered by this?” he demanded.

Marley snorted, “What gave you that impression, Jack? My lack of response to you or the fact I didn’t share your album on my socials.”

He crossed his arms as he questioned, “And what about all the other stuff that you know is about you?” He waited for her to answer and when it became apparent that she wasn’t going to he asked, “So, you don’t care that Poison is about you and that I got Wayne on it since he’s your all-time fave rapper? Don’t care I gave a nod to you in Like A Blade of Grass since you always say I remind you of the class clown from your high school ap classes?”

He placed a hand on each side of her head against the door, invading her personal space but not touching her, “Is that the only thing my Marley girl is mad about?” Marley’s eyes fluttered close as he leaned down to huskily murmur in her ear, “Are you also mad that I told the world about the mirrors you had me install in my house so you could watch how well you take me? Are you mad I hinted that you let me tape us?”

Jack caressed her face and she leaned into his touch. He trailed a finger along her jaw until he reached her ear, and he flicked the hoop that adorned it, “Are you mad that I told the world about how I fuck the earrings off of you?” He chuckled at the way Marley’s breath hitched as he moved his body flush against hers and nuzzled her neck, “If all these people listening to the album only knew how many of these damn hoops you’ve made replace.”

“Fuck you,” Marley ground out through gritted teeth, hating the way her body always reacted to Jack’s onslaughts.

She yelped as Jack lightly bit her neck before he admonished, “Fuck me? Seems like instead of worrying about earrings, I need to fuck the brat out of you.”

His rebuke felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured on her and snapped Marley out of her reverie. She pushed him away from her, “I’m not being a brat, Jackman, and you’re not about to fuck your way to forgiveness.” She sighed, “It’s not even really about the song. I mean, I really hate it, but the fact that you intentionally lied to me is fucked up and you know it.”

Jack held up both hands in defense at the use of his full name, “I didn’t lie.”

“A lie by omission, Jackman, is still a lie,” she asserted. “You and I have always been honest with each other about what this is and how we feel. You knew I wouldn’t like it and chose to wait until it was too late for me to give you hell and have you change it.”

“Fine,” he acquiesced, “I shouldn’t have done it. My bad. Can we go back out there now and have a good time?”

“The fact that you think that’s a real apology is wild. But that’s okay. That’s exactly the sort of attitude I’d expect from someone who looks up to Drake.” Marley unlocked the door and swung it open before she turned back to him, “Just remember, you aren’t the only one who writes songs in this equation.”

Before he could respond, Marley stormed off without a single glance back.

Could I have a Peter Maximoff reader fic, where there’s a Halloween party, and the reader has been trying to scope out what Peter will be wearing so she can “accidentally” turn up in a matching costume. Unfortunately Peter has also been trying to scope out what she’ll be coming as so he can “accidentally” turn up in a matching costume. Jean and Scott are wondering how far they can go with this.

the costume dilemma

pairing: peter maximoff x f!reader

A/N: now please bear with me because i feel this sucks but i really love your request it's adorable but i feel like i didn't do it justice but still but jahejs 😭

requested: yes

word count: 427

requests are OPEN

masterlist

✩࿐

“What do you think?” Jean asks, bringing the piece of clothing closer to you, it was her costume for the Halloween party next week and she’s planning to go as Candace from the cartoon show, Phineas and Ferb.

A soft smile forms on your lips, you could already picture how good she’ll look and what Scott’s reaction will be, “it’s really cute!” you reply. “What about you, Y/N? Do you have a costume yet?”

“Oh, about that, no, not yet actually”

Jean puts her costume back in her closet and places her hands on her hips, “the party’s next week! What are you waiting for? Christmas? Come on let’s go buy you one. Right. Now” she scolds, firmly holding your wrist as she pulls you out of her room. “W-wait, Peter doesn’t have a costume yet either. We should tag him along” you say, eyes looking for the speedster.

“He’s a grown man, he can go by himself whenever he wants”

“I-I know, but like-“

“Peter! I’m taking Y/N out to buy her costume. Come with us! And you too Scott” you get cut off by the redhead, spotting your boyfriend at the corner talking with Scott.

And just like that, Peter’s on your side in an instant, startling you. “Let’s go”

✩࿐

Jean and Scott looks at you and Peter simultaneously with annoyed looks on their faces. They've been watching you both steal glances at each other, checking if one has chosen a costume.

"How long are they gonna keep this up?" Scott sighs, tapping on his thigh impatiently. You wanted to surprise Peter by matching your costume with his but he hasn't gotten anything yet - little did you know that he wants to do the same. Jean just rolls her eyes in response.

"I can't handle this anymore" Jean stands up and goes to an aisle nearby, Scott following behind. She looks through the hanged costume and after a short while, she finally finds matching costumes for couples, it was Daphne Blake and Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo.

She snatches them and rushes to where you both are, "here! Now you can both match and sorry it's not a surprise but you two are such idiots and your thoughts are so fucking loud! I don't even have to go in your minds! They're screaming at me!" she rants out, tossing the clothes to you two, both mouths slightly opened in shock.

Peter looks over you, "sorry?" you both apologize to Jean in unison, bodies awkwardly stiff at the sudden revelation.

"Morons" Jean corrects you.

I hear fans saying that ladrien sucks because canon doesn’t give us any crumbs but ummm hello? How is marichat the most popular ship then because marichat is also not very much prevalent in the show. Ladynoir and adrinette have always been the primary focus. And ladrien and marichat have been equally shown. Like in s1 we had evillustrator and Simon says and volpina, in s2 glaciator and befana and style queen and gorizilla, in s3 weredad and desperada, in s4 glaciator 2 and ephemeral and strike back. I think the only time ladrien got less than marichat was in s5 but even then there was deflagration. So I definitely don’t understand the narrative that ladrien is given less attention than marichat. It’s just that mc stans dgaf about canon and make outlandish claims.

(I think I submitted this ask before but I’m not sure it reached. So I’m sorry for ranting in your inbox twice.)

It did not reach me the first time (yay tumblr!) So good call. I was actually thinking after I responded to a previous ask recently about how people want Adrien and Marinette to breakup to restore balance, and my thought was: what balance? Because you're right the love square has never been "balanced" between the sides. LN and Adrinette always had the most screentime and development, and up until s4 MC actually had the least. Yet, it was the most popular ever since Evillustrator aired. It's only been in the last couple seasons that Ladrien has had less screentime than they had been getting (s4 and 5 didn't have a designated "ladrien" episode like prior seasons, I mean), but we still had some pretty big moments with them.

It's just always some people's excuse to shit on Ladrien because they see it as a threat to their favorite side because instead of recognizing that the love square is the same two people, they view each side as its own ship that's competing with the other 3. That's why the Ladrien tag gets filled with bullshit rankings and favorite ship polls because people don't understand what the love square is or how it operates. The sides aren't working against each other. They're all working in tandem toward one goal: an eventual post reveal relationship between the two where all sides converge and form a singular dynamic. But peoples response to Adrinette being canon just proves that people don't understand that. I think that's the most annoying part of it to me is that it so clearly demonstrates that people don't understand the show/this ship. Like it's one thing to be a bit bummed your favorite side wasn't the one that got to be canon official (and stick for longer than an episode) but it's another thing to claim the show is ruined, it's bad writing, bad for the characters, toxic, unfair, unhealthy, boring, etc.

Honestly, it's so wild to me how this fandom treats the requited sides of the square. Up until s5, people didn't like Ladrien because it was requited and "boring" and "they don't even have to try" and "all they do is blush and stammer" (which isn't even the Ladrien dynamic at all, but I digress) and now that Adrinette is canon I see those exact same arguments being flung. Interestingly, I saw posts after Elation aired from MC stans whining that MC is boring and "like Ladrien" now, and it honestly melted my brain a little. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the point of ships that they get together? Is that not what we want? I'd get it if it were some random background ship with no hope of ever coming to fruition but this is the flagship of the whole show. We are supposed to want them to like each other back and get together...

This fandom is a cesspool honestly. I see people hurt themselves in confusion every day about this ship. Ladrien has always gotten the short end of the stick in this fandom, for no real reason other than people are weird and lack the ability to comprehend the media they consume. It's annoying, but that's what the block button is for. 🤷‍♀️

Coming here is so comforting I swear. Sometimes I go through the pro ship tag to see what people are doing and saying cause idk if I should consider myself pro shipper or not, cause some of the stuffs I read are definitely too dark and taboo for a lot others but at the same time I know that I do not need to label everything about myself so I'm like well I like this thing and that other thing and that's it. But it makes me kinda angry seeing people só easily and simply judge others based on what they like as if it immediately makes them a bad person, as if thoughts are harmful and dangerous like they're actions.

And I hate specifically when I myself feel uncomfortable with what I like cause I know that rationally it makes no sense but???

Have you ever felt like that? Writing and reading things that have made people mad™? And if so how do you deal with it? Most of the time I'm pretty good at just being like 🙄 but sometimes it just bothers yk

Howdy anon!! 👋

And I’m so happy my blog’s a comfort to you!😌 🥰

It’s so funny to me how different the term pro ship is now; back in my day 👵🏻 it just meant that you were pro someone else’s right to ship who and what they want. Nutjobs took that to mean you accept any and all things instead of using their brain to think just cause you accept certain things doesn’t mean you condone others 🙄 fucking idiots

Anywho, I will get fired up about that so best move on 🤣

It’s sort of this new wave online where media literacy has been tossed out the window. Honestly just any critical thinking. And people are so scared of being criticized or hated on that they’re quick to jump on what’s considered ‘the correct’ bandwagon

Like some 1984 shit where they’re off tattling to Big Brother cause you like something they find an issue with 🙄

But to answer for real, I think it bothers all of us who enjoy/write/read darker content (hell even in the dead dove community some people get crap for liking things that other find distasteful—like bitch we’re all in the same boat lmao)

I feel like I’m just all over the place anon and for that I apologize lol

Not sure if it’s much of an answer but I’m the same as you; I do tend to overlook it, let it slide off my back so to speak. I’ve also taken to blocking a lot more than I ever have before. If I see a blog sharing or spouting off about censorship of any form or fucking asinine comments like “people who like x y z should just kill themselves” then they’re blocked and off my feed for good.

It pisses me off though; I really don’t understand where this purity policing and being jerk asses to strangers online started to pick up speed. They can go back to their sad little chat rooms and bitch to each other in that echo chamber and leave the rest of us to enjoy our online experience without being hated on (but no they gotta feel like they’re in the right 😒)

Sorry to the long ramble/rant of an answer, anon. Just know you’re not the only one! And that the block button is your friend!! 💜

With the prospect of having to share practice sessions with Orion looming over her, Lizzie’s enthusiasm at returning to the pitch had rapidly faded.

The closer the beginning of her training drew, the more her excitement was dwindling, but her fury at Orion wasn’t the sole reason for it. Matthew didn’t grow tired of reminding her that he thought it was too early for her to take up flying again. He didn’t let the matter drop, and every time Lizzie winced at the pain in her wrist, he found himself confirmed.

“It’s only for her own sake that she wants you back, not yours. If Skye depends on you backing her captaincy, maybe she shouldn’t have become captain in the first place.”

Matthew and Skye not getting along wasn’t news, and usually, Lizzie would have jumped to Skye’s defence. But whatever her role in Orion’s unexpected reappearance had been, Lizzie was still mad at her for not giving her so much as a warning, so she remained quiet and let Matthew rant away.

Skye wasn’t the only thing Lizzie was keeping quiet about, however. After leaving Lewis Parkin’s farewell feast, Matthew wouldn’t stop asking questions about Orion, how he and Lizzie knew each other, and his abilities as a player. Lizzie felt sorry for brushing him off, but she couldn’t tell him any more than she already had.

In introducing Orion as nothing but an acquaintance from school, she had purposefully kept the truth of what had been between them from Matthew, and a whole week after Orion had so suddenly reappeared, Lizzie’s chance to correct herself had long since passed. If Matthew was irritated by her conciseness, it couldn’t be helped.

The thought of Orion wouldn’t leave her alone, and Lizzie wasn’t sure what to make it. It had been two years since she’d had any sign of life from him last, and now he was back, and in Wigtown of all places. His return was touching on wounds she had been convinced had finally healed; when she thought back on the day she had found his flat in Montrose empty and abandoned, however, there was still a painful sting inside her heart.

Not knowing why Orion had left everything behind without so much as a word had haunted Lizzie for months, but after many tears and sleepless nights, she had begrudgingly accepted it and moved on. She had met Matthew, and after a while, she had begun to heal. And just when she had believed that this chapter of her life had finally closed for good, Orion had decided to come back.

So now he was to be a member of her Quidditch team. The thought was absurd to Lizzie. There was so much hurt and anger still inside her that she couldn’t even look at him. How was this supposed to work?

When Lizzie woke on the first day of practice, her mood was bad. Plagued by fitful dreams of falling, she had barely slept and felt moody and exhausted. She freed herself from Matthew’s arms, brushed her hand over his hair, and quietly got dressed. As she packed her Quidditch bag for the first time in months, she had to breathe deeply to quell the nerves fluttering in her stomach.

By the time she arrived at the Quidditch pitch, the fluttery feeling in her gut had turned into a tight knot and Lizzie felt sick. The goalposts were gleaming in the pale morning sunlight, and she stopped to admire the sight. It was a new day and a new season, and she had worked hard to be a part of it; she could do this.

The thought comforted her, but only until she walked beneath the wooden perimeter of the pitch and out onto the lawn. Much to her chagrin, Orion was already there waiting for her. To Lizzie’s surprise, he wasn’t alone.

“What are you doing here?” Lizzie spoke directly to Skye, not acknowledging Orion’s presence with so much as a glance.

“I’m in charge of the team,” Skye shrugged in return. “Need to make sure you lot get back to form, don’t I?”

Lizzie gave her a dark look. “Can we get this over with? I’ve got better things to do than hang around and reminisce all day.”

Skye glanced between Lizzie and Orion, who was shrouding himself in silence. “Might be harder than I thought,” she muttered under her breath before clapping her hands together. “Let’s get cracking, shall we?”

Her words rang out over the Quidditch pitch. When no one moved, Lizzie raised her eyebrows at Skye, who, in turn, was looking at Orion; Orion himself was trying very hard to look anywhere but in Lizzie’s direction. Eventually, Lizzie cleared her throat.

“How about you tell us what you had in mind, Captain?”

It wasn’t lost on her how the way she was addressing Skye made Orion flinch. Skye rubbed the back of her neck, the colour rising to her face.

“Right, yeah. Both of you haven’t been flying for a while, so I’d say we do some warm-up rounds around the pitch.” Her face lit up. “Dunno about you, but I feel like a race. Like in the old times. Ready, set, go!”

Skye mounted her Comet 260 and took off while Orion and Lizzie scrambled to do the same. There was no time for Lizzie to feel nervous as she shot into the air on her Silverswift. As soon as her feet left the ground and the wind hit her face, it was as if all the pieces she had struggled to keep together over the last few months were falling back into place.

The feeling quickly faded when Skye sped up after the first round, and the months Lizzie had spent off her broomstick were beginning to show. She had been forced to remain on the ground, but Skye had finished the season in excellent form; there was no chance of keeping up with her.

Lizzie lay down flat on her broomstick to at least not let Orion overtake her. But her Silverswift was a sensitive broom, and her reactions to it not as finely tuned as Lizzie would have liked. She held on tightly as she took a turn with too much speed, and suddenly, she became aware of how much strain she was putting on her wrist.

On their third round - Skye was already way ahead - Orion slowly began gaining on her, and by the time they crossed the finish line, he had overtaken Lizzie by almost a broom’s length. Skye opened her mouth to comment on it but quickly reconsidered when she saw the look on Lizzie’s face.

They began their practice properly with some simple passes, and Lizzie grew increasingly frustrated as their training drew on. Skye may have been the captain, but she kept on looking for Orion’s approval on every exercise, as if they were still on the Hufflepuff team and this was the school pitch they had learned their basics on. But this wasn’t Hogwarts anymore, and things had changed. Lizzie and Skye were professional players now, and Orion had to learn the ropes from them, not the other way round.

“I get the Quaffle in this shooting range,” Lizzie snapped during an aiming exercise. Even though she had clearly indicated that she wanted the Quaffle, Orion had attempted the shot himself. “Pass it to me next time I tell you to. If our manoeuvres are too hard for you, that's your problem, not mine.”

“What are you waffling about, Jameson?” Skye interfered before Orion had the chance to reply. “It’s all good. Passing would’ve been nonsense.”

“It wouldn’t have.”

“Orion was in a much better position to score, and he made the goal alright. What’re you getting your broomstick in a twist about?”

“I shoot when we do this manoeuvre,” Lizzie hissed at her. “I always do. It’s one of my signature moves.”

“Yeah, a move he taught you if you’ve forgotten about that,” Skye shot back and pointed at Orion.

“Maybe he did, but I was the one to perfect it!”

“Would you listen to that?” Skye scoffed. “With your scoring record today, I’d come off my high Hippogriff if I were you.”

Orion stayed back while Lizzie and Skye were snapping at each other. When he flew between them and raised his hands in a placating manner, Lizzie again felt reminded of their time at school.

“It’s alright, Skye. The student has surpassed the teacher, and thus the roles have been reversed. Acknowledging our need to learn is only the first step towards wisdom. Lizzie may still lack efficiency, but she makes up for it with experience that my own doesn’t match.”

“Oh, just shut up, will you?” Lizzie snarled. The look she gave Orion was scalding. “You don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

“Jameson…” Skye’s voice had a warning ring to it, but Lizzie cut her off with an impatient gesture of her hand.

“What? It’s true! He barely made, what, one match for Montrose? Two?” Lizzie knew precisely how many times Orion had played for the Montrose Magpies, but she would rather cast a Tongue-Tying curse on herself than admit it. “He doesn’t know the business, and I will not have a bloody beginner lecture me on what my gameplay is lacking.”

“Offending you was never my intention, and I apologise if I have,” Orion said and looked away when he couldn’t hold Lizzie’s glare any longer. “But if we want to achieve harmony within our team -”

“There is no harmony between us whatsoever, and this isn’t our team either,” Lizzie interrupted him hotly. “You need to earn your place on the roster, as we all did. I wouldn’t let you play at all if you asked me.”

“Good thing no one’s asking you then,” Skye butted in, her green eyes flashing. “You don’t make the decisions here - I do. And I’ll not have you speak to another member of my team like this. Now back off. This is not your place.”

Lizzie looked between her best friend and her ex, pressing her lips together. “No,” she said through gritted teeth, “this isn’t my place at all.”

Whipping her broomstick around, Lizzie flew back to the ground. As soon as she landed, she stormed away, ripping her arm and shin protection off and throwing them into the grass next to her Silverswift. Her anger made her walk away from the pitch faster and faster until she was almost running.

She had been looking forward to this day - her moment back in the air - for months, but it had been nothing like she had imagined it. It hadn’t been the exhilarating return to the pitch Lizzie had made it out to be, and that was all Orion’s fault. He had come and ruined everything, and now even Skye was on his side.

Her feet took her from the Quidditch pitch to the training grounds where the annual tryouts for promising Hogwarts graduates were being held. Lizzie stopped to watch, her mind returning to her own tryouts two years prior. They had been on a different pitch and for a different team; part of a different life, really. A lot had changed since then.

Her presence didn’t go unnoticed for long. The whispering and pointing in Lizzie’s direction drew Ethan’s attention, who exchanged a few words with his scouts and then joined her at the sidelines.

“Shouldn’t you be at practice?”

Lizzie snorted. “We’re done with practice.”

“Are you now?”

“We are. I’m not doing this.” She shook her head. “You can’t be serious about Orion being on the team.”

“Pretty sure I am. Doesn’t look like he’s the one making problems.”

Lizzie’s anger suddenly flared up again. “What did you expect I was going to do? Jump into his arms and kiss your feet for bringing him back? He knows jack all about what it means to be a real Quidditch player. How is this supposed to work?”

Ethan looked her up and down sceptically. “If I’m not doolally, he’s only got one year less experience than you, so tone it down a notch. You ain’t a trouper in the business just yet, Lizzie. And from what I saw at his tryouts, Orion knows what he’s doing alright. Well enough to have taught you and Skye, at least.”

“That’s different.”

“It’s not. He’s got some real potential, and it’s ours to profit from.” Ethan’s features softened. “But that ain’t why you don’t want to work with him, is it, lass?”

“He broke my heart,” Lizzie finally managed to say. “How can you expect me to just forget that?”

“I know. After all, it was me you came running to after you’d thrown everything in the wind because of him. I gave you credit of trust that day, you’d better not forget that. I certainly won’t.”

Lizzie swallowed her protest, and Ethan nodded appreciatively.

“Now listen up. You’re not at school anymore, this ain’t the place for petty little love stories. This here is about the Wanderers. You’re a professional and a bloody good one at that, so I expect you to get a grip. Orion’s been out of business for a while, but so have you. With you, him and the rest of the lot, we now have a fine selection of Chasers for our line-up. Skye is the captain, so she’s set, but the rest of the spots are fair game. Replacing you with Yarwood was a workaround, but I’ve seen worse in my days and I only want the best players on my team. If you want to play for the Wanderers, you’ll have to fight for that privilege like everybody else.”

Lizzie’s anger had dwindled during Ethan’s speech, and she ducked her head when he was done. He was right; she had acted like an entitled kid straight out of school, not like the professional she had worked hard to become.

“I expect you to go and finish your training now,” Ethan added after a moment of silence, and Lizzie nodded.

“Yes, coach.”

“One word of advice,” Ethan said as Lizzie turned to go. “It’s the team that comes first, not the player. Always. You’d better not forget that.”
