WORD COUNT: 2,296 (just warning u <3 enjoy loves)
Steve didn't expect anyone to remember. It's not like his parents ever remembered to leave a message. It's not like Nancy remembered (although, a couple months later she called him bullshit, and well, that takes the cake). He never bothered to tell the kids, and he didn't blame Robin for not remembering when the day they told eachother they were still coming off of those Russian drugs. He remembered hers though. He remembered that her birthday was March 10th. He threw her a surprise party, invited her band nerds, invited Eddie, fresh out of the hospital, invited Dustin and Erica, their whole trauma bonded troop.
And somehow in the mix, a month later when it was his turn, nobody remembered his.
That was, at least, what he believed. But one person remembered.
A week prior, Dustin had got his grubby little hands on the information of Steve's birthday. He needed to know and wasn't willing to ask Steve, not willing to expose that he didn't know the older man's birthday. So he asked around.
After going down the list, through most of the other kids, through Robin, and even Eddie, he ended up slinked over at the Byers-Hopper residence, quizzing El on how far her powers go, if she could maybe find a way to figure out his birthday. El explained that she probably can't do that, but she was willing to try for Dustin's sake. She rushed into the living room, Dustin in tow, finding the nearest radio and trying to rush out with it before getting stopped by Hopper and Joyce, who were on the couch watching the TV, which those two gremlins so unceremoniously cut in front of it twice already.
"Woah woah woah! Slow down there, what's going on?" Hop asked. He knows when El frantically needs access to a radio, that something's going on.
"It's Steve." She says, not offering any context. That immediately gets Joyce into defensive mode. Nobody messes with her boys. Or any of her kids, for that matter.
"What's wrong with Steve?" She asks, jolting up out of her comfortable position.
"Woah hold on, he's ok!" Dustin explains. At that, Joyce let's out a relieved sigh and lays back into Hoppers arm that was just wrapped around her.
"Yes! He is ok, we just need to see him." El finally explained.
"Yeah! About early June a year ago I said something about his age and I was wrong, which means his birthday is some time soon and I don't know it! And El said she might know a way to find out!"
"Oh you don't need to go through all that! Steve's birthday is next Thursday. I was gonna make him a cake and bring it to his house, like I did last year! Why didn't you just ask around?"
All three of the others in the room were confused by her response, even Hop, who had never even thought of the idea of doing something for the Harrington boy's birthday, even though he's the closest thing to a father figure the boy has got.
"Next week??" Hopper asked, suddenly feeling bad for not knowing that about the boy, or that Joyce has been the only one caring for him the year prior on his birthday.
"No I did ask around! You just happen to be the only person in Hawkins to know it!" Dustin said, cutting off any answer that might have come to Hopper's question.
"Not even Nancy or Robin or Eddie?"
"Nope. You're the only one." El said. El didn't really have a birthday, so they threw her a 'Found You!' party every year. It gave Will something better to focus on that day every year, so it made everyone pretty happy. She knew how much birthdays meant now.
"Well that just can't be. We'll have to throw him a party. Everyone needs a good send off into year 20." Hopper said, standing up and getting Joyce and El and Dustin to the dining room table, pulling Will away from his painting too, to plan how they were doing this.
One game plan, a thoroughly scribbled-on napkin, and a couple of phone calls later, Robin and Eddie were in on it, finding a way to get Steve from work to the Byers-Hopper house on a random Thursday. Robin wouldn't be working that day, so Steve wouldn't need to drive her to work. Eddie was fresh out of high school, (it really was his year!) so he did actually have a job, but he was pretty used to spending his lunches at Family Video.
They decided that Eddie would offer to hang out after work, shoot the shit or whatever, and pick Steve up from his house after work, bringing him to the house where the kids and everyone would be waiting.
This year, Steve was going to feel valued, no matter what.
~~~~~
Steve woke up, dreaded his shift ahead, and got ready as per usual that day. It didn't really matter that it was his birthday, there was no red dot on the receiver saying anyone else knew it was his birthday and might have called, so he pretended it was just a normal day, exactly like the rest of the world was doing.
The real crime is that his birthday fell on a Thursday. Thursdays, even over summer, are the slowest days for Family Video, so they don't even bother scheduling two people for the day. So he couldn't even hope Robin had maybe remembered his birthday, because he wouldn't see her all day. He would at least see Eddie, who he thought didn't know his birthday, so he couldn't feel bad for not telling Eddie, and Eddie couldn't feel bad for forgetting.
He had grown to love Eddie's lunch visits, sitting behind the counter talking to someone who understood him, who he could lower his mask around. Not all the way though. There are some parts of Steve that are for Robin's eyes only. Like the fact that he has feelings for Eddie. Feelings that he intended to keep hidden away. Where they were safe. Where he was safe.
Nonetheless, he lit up when that bell above the door chimed at 12:35, accommodating the quick ride from the record store Eddie worked at.
And, so what if Eddie didn't know it was his birthday, Eddie still asked to hang out after work, said "I found a spot you'll want to see," in that voice of his that eludes mischief, and Steve was in. He was going to go home, put on a nicer shirt and the watch he forgot on the bathroom counter that morning, and he was going to hang out with Eddie for his birthday.
He kept that dinky little smirk on his face for the rest of the day, and clocked out the moment Keith walked into those doors to pick up the closing shift, not sticking around for chit chat. He had 20 minutes till Eddie was off of work, which meant he had 30 minutes to get home, change shirts, spray on fresh cologne, and then pretend he wasn't waiting by the door to hear Eddie knock.
When he did though, Steve was not prepared to see a Eddie's bandana wave at him.
"You're gonna want full shock value for this one, big boy." Eddie said, whilst Steve hoped Eddie didn't see the blood rise to his cheeks at the nickname.
"Can I at least put it on in the van?"
"I'll settle for that if you don't gripe about the music!" Eddie joked. He had actually gotten a tape from Jonathan of Tears for Fears, so he knew Steve wouldn't.
"How am I supposed to do that when you blare it loud enough for Indianapolis to hear?"
"I think you'll like it today Stevie." Eddie said, opening the car door for Steve and giving a little bow, then watching Steve tie the bandana around his eyes as he walked around to the driver's side.
"Feel like I'm getting the full El treatment." Steve chuckled, as he heard the car door open.
"Hardy har, just make sure you can't see. I mean the shock value thing." He said, turning the key in the ignition. As the music started, Steve let out a little gasp, and reached blindly for Eddie's arm beside him.
"Is this?? Tears for Fears?? Aw, Eds, you don't hate all of my music after all, how sweet." Steve joked.
Eddie was thankful that Steve was blindfolded, so he couldn't see the pink tinge to his face.
"Just for you Stevie."
Steve relished in the quiet music, the bumps in the road, and the comfortable silence between him and Eddie with a smile on his face. It was a miracle, to Steve, that someone cares for him on his birthday, even unknowingly, because it hadn't happened in so long. Steve was even contemplating telling Eddie it was his birthday, thanking Eddie for the best birthday he had in a long time, when the van stopped, and the music right after.
"We're here!" Eddie told Steve. "Ah ah ah, don't take the blindfold off, I'll help you where we're going. Full. Shock. Value."
"I'm beginning to think it's a special occasion or something." Steve said, like it wasn't one. That hurt Eddie's heart a little, but it's ok, he thought. Steve will know how loved he is soon.
"C'mon, I'll help you up the steps." Eddie offered, grabbing Steve's hand for completely platonic reasons.
"Steps? Eddie where are we?" Steve asked.
"Full shock value, remember?" He said, opening the door for Steve and guiding by the shoulders into the Byers-Hopper living room, where the party, Jonathan, Nancy, Robin, Joyce, and Hopper were waiting behind a cake that Hopper haphazardly stuck 20 blue and green candles on. Lucas even dragged Erica along, when she pretended she didn't want to go wish Steve happy birthday.
"Blindfold off Stevie." Eddie said.
Steve didn't expect anyone to remember. Didn't expect to peek from behind the blindfold with one eye and be serenaded with a chorus of "SURPRISE!!!"
He stepped back into Eddie at the loud noise, Eddie grabbing back on to Steve's shoulders.
Steve didn't expect Joyce to be holding up a cake with 20 lit candles, didn't expect Dustin to rush to his side, didn't expect Hopper to clap him on the back after he stepped forward.
"Happy birthday kiddo." Hop said.
"How did you- when did- guys!!" He said, looking down at the cake.
"Red velvet and chocolate icing, with blue and green candles, your favorite." Joyce told him.
"Just like last year-" He was cut off by Joyce putting down the cake on the coffee table and wrapping Steve up in a hug. Which caused the rest of the group, even Mike, to wrap Steve in a huge group hug. When they all pulled away, Lucas held up the cake.
"Make a wish, man." He said.
"Guys- I don't deserve all this, how can I-"
"Oh cut the shit Steve, we love you. Now, you heard him, make a wish."
And so, Steve closed his eyes, thought for a second, and blew out the candles. And then, just like that, the big old sheet cake was getting sliced into enough squares for all of them.
As the party went on, and they all laughed, and drank an obscene amount of soda, Steve slipped into the silent outdoors offered by the Byers-Hopper back porch swing. He stared off into the treeline, hoping nobody would notice his absence. He would be back inside in a minute or two, he just needed to catch his breath after it all. Then he heard the squeak of the screen door, and saw Eddie's leather jacket sleeve before looking back into the tree line.
Eddie took a seat to Steve's right, and placed a little wrapped package on Steve's lap.
"Oh Eddie, you didn't have to-"
"Open it." Eddie cut him off.
Steve carefully tore the (oddly enough, very neatly done) wrapping paper away, revealing a hellfire shirt.
"You? You got me a hellfire shirt? But I'm not a part of the party?" Steve failed to stop the smile from leaking into his face.
"Of course you are? Considering how since school got out you've let us use your house, you drive the goblins around, and you've been doing it for years! It's about time you have one." Eddie explained.
Now, Steve couldn't stop the tears from gathering in his eyes.
"Yeah but, I don't deserve any of this. Anyone can drive those kids around, anyone can lend you a space, it's the least I could do. Hell, I'm not even going to college, I'm just another a high school has-been asshole working at a barely above minimum-wage job. There's so many better people you guys could have chosen to care about." Steve settled his eyes back on the treeline, trying his best to hide the tears that his voice revealed, that were now slowly streaming down his face.
"Steve no. Absolutely not. You're so much more than that to all of us. To me." That got Steve to look back at Eddie. Eddie held Steve's face in his hands, let the tears run down his arms."You're our warrior, you keep those little misfits safe, you saved my life. And we all know you would take bullets for those dorks. You heard Little Red. We love you, Steve..." Eddie hesitated, looking away for a moment. "I love you, Steve. Even if none of the other assholes in this world will, I do."
Steve couldn't let Eddie go on any longer. Not when he was saying stuff like that. So he closed the distance. And when Eddie kissed back, he knew everything would be alright.
He didn't expect people to remember. He didn't expect people to care about him. But now he finally understood, the unequivocally did.

Soft prompts: 30 is all I really want in this world but 17 makes me sigh because so soft. Bering and Wells obviously. They deserve it.
Let's see if we can't do both! (Here's the prompt list, if anyone else wants to!)
17. fixing the other persons clothes absentmindedly or like tucking their hair behind their ear U KNOW WHAT I MEAN THAT SOFT STUFF
30. ‘this is my husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner etc.’
---
"Myka, are you absolutely sure of this?"
Myka caught a pair of hands that were fiddling with a starched shirt collar, and smiled at their owner. "Ten years, and I've never seen you this flustered. You look stunning, you told me that I look stunning, let's go and stun them, yeah?"
Helena bit her lip and looked aside, not moving a muscle to get out of the car.
"Hey," Myka said softly. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Helena protested, not very convincingly in Myka's point of view. "I just..."
"Nervous what they're gonna think?" When Helena simply pursed her lips, Myka shifted in her seat to look at her more squarely. "Helena, they're just old classmates of mine. Who cares what they think?"
"You said you wanted to blow them out of the water!" Helena protested. "They obviously mean something to you, otherwise why bother?"
A hand came up to weave through perfect hair; Myka caught it and squeezed it, feeling the slender band around one finger digging into her palm as she did so. "You mean something to me," she said intently. "So yeah, maybe I want to show you off to everyone who thought that Bering the Bookworm would die alone and unloved, but that's because you are an amazing catch more than because I want them to eat their hearts out." She hesitated, then added, "I mean I do want them to eat their hearts out, but that's secondary. And if it makes you this anxious-" Then it hit her. "Is this about how public this is?"
Helena looked down at their now-entwined hands, running her forefinger over Myka's wedding band. "It was unheard of," she said quietly. "In my day. Behind closed doors, certainly; everyone was getting up to all kinds of things dans le boudoir." She bit her lip and looked out of the car's passenger window to the brightly lit hotel entrance. "But to come right out and say it? Certain social death. Worse than that, for some," she added darkly.
"Oscar Wilde," Myka nodded.
"And plenty of others." Helena sighed. "I am sorry, Myka - I truly thought I would be able to approach this with more fortitude."
"Hey, don't worry. We don't have to do this. We can turn this car around and go right back to our hotel."
She could see Helena's jaw jut forward sharply, then Helena turned back to look at her with steely eyes. "No. No, I am too... too proud of you, of us, of the fact that we are finally allowed to marry. I just have to overcome my-" Suddenly, she laughed - only the once, and still very tense, but it was laughter. "Jitters," she explained, "more than even on our wedding day." The smile she gave Myka was fond.
When she tugged a hand free, Myka let her; it came up to adjust the shoulder seam of Myka's vest, then brushed some lint (present or imaginary, Myka didn't care) off her shoulder. Eyes glinting mischievously, she leaned forward; Myka leaned in too, certain that a little bit of kissing would lift their spirits.
Helena swerved at the last moment, though, and Myka had no time to protest before a perfect imprint of two lipsticked lips adorned the perfect white of her shirt.
Helena looked up at her and smirked. "Let's slay them."
---
Okay, I'm gonna stop it here and leave the "And this is Helena, my wife" implied. But you better believe that that is what Myka is gonna say, every chance she gets, a dozen times at least that night. And yes, they're both wearing collared shirts and vests - sharp and stylish as all get-out, of course.
Thanks for the prompt! I hope you like the result! 💜

this is very late i hope u r still alive my dude <3
Tumblr media
The small house was still, a window slightly open was the only indication that anyone lived there.
Inside was a lone figure. A woman. Hunched over the kitchen sink.
She had been thinking for quite some time, going over what she had found and trying to get a better grasp of things. It was hard, harder than she was used to.
At least here, in this shithole of a town, she could hide. It was easy to blend, the few wigs she had brought with her made her change from the average American woman with a frizzy perm to a lady of business and class.
But she had been here a week, and was no closer to killing the bitch that had dragged her across three continents now.
Sighing she reached for the scissors on the woven shelves beside the sink, reaching up, and making the first cut through her thick dark hair.
-
Now, you hated America.
The weather changed in every state, and the money was confusing - why isn't it already taxed? then I don't have to do mental gymnastics to figure it out?? - and don't get me started on the politics.
Almost everyone thought you were one of the Vietnamese working ladies in the salons, asking you to do their nails and perm their hair.
At least it was easy to buy weapons
Oh and shady shit? in a motel? everyday occurrence. You were sure if you dragged someone into a room and mutilated them on the bed that the cleaner would just charge you ten bucks extra for the blood and move on.
But Santa Carla. The Hellmouth you had ended up in. Was worse than any other town you had been deposited in so far.
-
You fluffed it up, flattened it down, cried out in frustration. And repeat.
Personally, you thought it was a good idea. Cutting your hair that is. And it was, putting on wigs was a lot smoother without the need for a bald cap. Plus you looked kind of boyish which would add a whole new range of looks to blend in with.
Yes. This would do nicely.
"Well, no time like the present"
Heading to your suitcase you zipped it open, opting for something a little more masc for tonight. Some ripped blue jeans, a band t-shirt you had borrowed from a gift shop, and a leather jacket.
Santa Carla was punk, and so would you be.
Your hair was left in its choppy pixie-cut style, it was far too hot and you were far too irritable to wear a wig.
With you you brought a pistol and a knife, growing up in Japan had taught you to be resourceful, and to use your hands before relying on anything else. So weapons were more of a last resort.
Nothing felt better than the crunching feel of someone's neck snapping beneath your fingers.
As you left your "home" the sweltering heat hit you, even as the sun was going down and nighttime was setting in the scorching heat of the west coast was beating down on you.
Fortunately, you had a car and wouldn't be forced to walk all the way to the bar you knew your target would be spending the evening at.
For someone with such a high price on his head, he sure was an idiot, always going to the same spot, drinking the same drinks, and going home with some poor woman who he definitely wasn't paying enough.
Once you reached the boardwalk you parked in a back alley, figuring it would be easier to drag a body there than in a large, overcrowded car lot. No one was around and it stank strongly of piss and the suffocating sweetness of fairground treats.
"Christ.." you took another deep sniff, brows furrowing, blood. That's what it stank of.
-
Blood wasn't unusual in Santa Carla
Dead bodies weren't unusual in Santa Carla
But that didn't make the Stench of it any easier to bear. In all your years as a professional you still despised the sweet irony scent, most times you would plug your mose of drown your clothes in peppermint oil to mask it.
Still, you were smart, no point in investigating something that wasn't your problem.
-
You found your target sitting alone, back hunched and eyes drowning in dark puffy circles. He was nursing a dry martini with two empty glasses already by his side.
Perfect.
It was funny seeing him like this. In the photos you received, he was rather charming, always wearing three-thousand-dollar suits and hair thick and healthy. Now Prada looked like something from a thrift shop on him, and you could see the way his toupe was falling apart around the edges.
You stayed outside, deciding to wait for him to leave before grabbing him, clearly not dressed for seduction or as another patron.
Though maybe...
"Hmm.." you took another glance inside the bar, seeing that it wasn't anything too fancy, heck you could spot a small group of men in leather and dark denim scrounging in the corner, messing around like idiots.
Fuck it
You walked carefully, taking notes of all the exits, where everyone was sat, the menu, the seat you would perch on nearby, and the staff making sure none of them were too shady.
Pulling out a stool you sat down, one foot just brushing the floor, the other pressing your weight onto a bar a foot above the ground.
Your future victim spared you a glance. Good.
Ordering an old-fashioned you passed the bartender a five-dollar bill, before dragging your hands over the varnished wood in front of you, wincing at the sticky feel.
"-wouldn't do that man, things old as me, heh"
Got him
You turned with false curiosity, arching a brow. He nodded to the bar and you laughed, "oh, thanks man".
He smiled, tilting his drink towards you, "you from out of town too?"
Idiot
"Uh yeah, felt like a little holiday for m'self," the southern accent you had adopted was smooth, and you let your worlds drawl at the end, "and you? Taking a break from the wife?"
The two of you shared a laugh, you engaging with him as he went on a rant about his home life, pretending to listen as you reached over for a napkin and dropped a pill in his drink.
-
Paul had been watching you.
Not in the bar of course, that would have been too obvious.
No.
He was right across the street, leant on his bike with Dwayne by his side, observing your actions with glee.
His darker haired counterpart was looking rather bored in comparison.
"Paul?"
The blonde hummed, eyes not leaving you.
"You know if you go near them they'll try to kill you," not that Dwayne really cared, he just didn't want Paul getting his hopes up and then coming to whine about it to him when it all blew up in his face.
Paul brushed it off, perking up when he watched you bring out your own victim, letting the man lean on you while heading towards a rather lavish vehicle.
-
It wasn't easy carrying the target into his dumb fancy car
Or bringing him to your room
But you hadn't expected it to be this simple
It was almost too easy. Just drag him into the tub, kill him, collect the award and you could be on your way.
Back to your sweet sweet little town in the east.
If only some idiot hadn't decided now was the perfect time to open your door
-
"Can I help you?"
Your eye was twitching slightly, the only sign of your annoyance as you took in the man in front of you.
He was of similar height, his eyes meeting your own easily.
It would have been much nicer to look down at him and smack that dumb grin off his face.
"Well I was thinking-"
"That's a good start," your snarky words cut him off mid-sentence and you were sure his eyes darkened, "listen unless it's something important I don't have the time to entertain you, take your shoddy business elsewhere thank you!"
With that you slammed the door close, ignoring his evergrowing grin.
-
You had only a few things left to do and then you would be gone for the night.
Your special little victim had been disposed of quickly after you had forced him to sign a few things, snapping some nice photos for evidence as you hacked through him.
It was easy to dispose of the evidence since his body never left the bathtub.
Now, time to deal with the body.
-
Once again, another blessing of the US was the ridiculous amount of unused empty space.
And with the town being so dry you could bury the body and no nature would be disturbed to the extent it would be obvious that there was something buried there.
It was still pretty tiring though, the grave had to be deep and you had stupidly chosen a spot between some trees so you would have some sort of coverage.
You had gone about five feet deep, your head still peeking over the edge.
The night was calm and the moon was shining above you.
Perhaps in another life you would have lived in a town like this, having a boring family and a cosy little house.
Leaning your head on the shovel handle you let yourself breathe for a moment or too.
Theres no need to rush, not like anyones going to find me way out-
"Oh hello again," a familiar voice drawled to your right, freezing you in place, "don't tell me you've forgotten about little old me?"
Looking up you were met with the same idiot from earlier, his body in a crouch as he looked down at you, smiling as your face grew darker.
He went to speak again and you raised your shovel, aiming for his stomach. Faster than you could blink he was grabbing onto the shaft and yanking it away from you.
"Awe doll, playing rough?"
What the hell
You backed away slightly, moving to the other end of the hole, watching his eyes follow you.
"So, what do you want?"
He rose to his full length, glancing between you and the body still wrapped in an old carpet.
With a shrug he gave it a nudge, moving back to stand close to you, offering his hand with a smile.
-
The last thing you expected from this 'mission' of sorts was to befriend someone, well four someones.
Whatever they were, you didn't care, you were more concerned about them keeping their mouths shut.
In the end they offered you a way out. A freedom from your rather tiresome life, a new way of existing alongside them.
Paul was closest to you, not that you were always particularly appreciative of that fact, enjoying David's chilling aura the most.
But here you were, laying down on top of a cliff, your compadre beside you.
"You're thinking too much again," a joint was waved in front of your face, rings reflecting the subtle moonlight, "you sure you don't wan' a schmoke? Gotta learn to relax a little."
Raising your arm you let him pass it to you, bringing it to your lips and taking a deep inhale.
As the smoke passed through you and your tension eased only one thought passed through your mind.
This is the life

Hey! I saw that your requests were open! ^_^ and I wanted to ask can u do a fanfic where y/n is guzmas sister and he gifts her a pokemon because she's been begging for one for ages and he finally decides to get her one! ^_^
Idm which pokemon you can choose!
Anyway please and thank you if u choose to do my request :)
-Amy
You've always really liked Cubone. How could anyone not? It's hard not to wanna scoop them up and give them a big hug... But maybe it's just The Trauma™ that endears you to them. Not having your parents around when they should have been and all that... Guzma got the worst of it, but that doesn't mean the neglect didn't affect you.
Anyway, everybody knows how much you love Cubone. You've got all kinds of things with Cubone on them - shirts, hats, bags, keychains, plushies, anything you can think of with a Cubone on it. They've been your favorite since you were little.
Unfortunately, you aren't much of a trainer yourself. The prospect of battling has always made you a bit sad. You don't want your Pokémon to get hurt. Even if there's a Pokémon center nearby or a potion in your bag, it just feels wrong to make them fight. Guzma doesn't have the same aversion to battling as you, which is fine. He's kind to his Pokémon, which is what matters the most at the end of the day, it's just not for you.
Still, you wish he would tell you what he gets up to with that team of his. You're not really sure about other regions, but at least in Alola, having a "team" (of people anyway, not Pokémon) is pretty much just code for like, criminal activity. If you're in a team, and especially if you're a team leader, it means you're probably stealing people's Pokémon from them (among other things). Guzma assures you that he and his crew aren't doing anything like that, but you're not so sure. He's certainly not forthcoming with what things he and his team actually do get up to, anyway.
But you can't stay mad at him. Not when he says his team is like family to him. You understand. When your own family treats you about as well as they'd treat Raticate droppings, and when you feel like society treats you about the same, you band together with the other outcasts because they're the ones who understand you the best. It's sad all around. But you get it, and it's at least heartwarming that he's created someplace where everyone feels like they belong and are appreciated.
You might be the younger sibling but you stood up for Guzma probably just as many times as he stood up for you. Sometimes you think maybe you still have that protective streak in you, even though he can definitely fend for himself these days.
So when you find a sweet little Cubone all curled up and sleeping on your bed, you know exactly who's responsible. Obviously you're delighted, but you hope he knows that this doesn't mean he can get away without giving you a phone call on your birthday. Once your sweet little Cubone has woken up from its nap, you'll give him a ring so the two of you can brainstorm some name ideas.

Hey! I read all your stories and i´m craving for more lol, you write sooo well angel, i don't know you but i love u now. Could you write something for me? Maybe like you are in a band like Paramore or something and y/n connects a lot with calum, i dont want to be too specific, so... yeah, i don't know how to finish this love u and thank you, hope you are doing well
Awww, thanks baby! I love you too 🥰🥰 I’ve never written anything like this, and, like, I want to write more???? Let me know if y’all want a part 2.
        The tour bus rocked as you listened to the music playing through your headphones and read the book between your fingers. It was the best way to spend a day traveling, most people slept, but as much as you loved the rest, it wasn’t what you wanted to do. There was one other rule you had on your days off: as little talking as possible, save the voice, and there was one person who loved to push that self-proclaimed rule: Calum Hood.
        Before going on tour with them, you had never met, but ever since the tour started, it was like you two were inseparable. Everyone thought you guys were an item, but he was just your best friend. There was a connection between you two that neither one of you could explain, but never tried to either. Of course, you would not be opposed to dating him, and maybe falling in love with him, but that’s not in the foreseeable future. It’s something that sat in the back of your mind, but never actually interrupted your friendship.
        You turned the page as you bobbed your head to the music. The bus was dark except for the light above you allowing you to see the page. The music softened as you text messaging tone went off. Without pulling your eyes from the page, you grabbed your phone. After you finished your sentence, you read the message: “What are you doing?” Calum was in the bus behind yours, and he always seemed to be bored with whatever the guys were doing.
        You put your book over your knee and typed a message back: “Reading. What are you doing?” You placed your phone back down next to you and grabbed your book to start on the next page.
        Your phone went off as you reached the bottom of your page. You put your book mark in between the pages and set it next to you knowing that Calum needed your attention more than the book. “Staring at the ceiling in my bunk. I’m so bored. I’m going to call you.”
        You rolled your eyes and furiously started typing a message back: “You know the rule, no talking on my days off.”The message sent and almost immediately Calum sent back eye rolling emoji’s. “What???” You responded.
        “That’s such a bullshit rule. Luke runs his mouth like a mother fucker on his days off.” You laughed out loud and looked around to see if anyone heard you.
        Seeing that the bus was still silent you turned back to your phone and typed a message back. “I mean, true, but doesn’t he also always complain about how sore his throat is?”
        You watched as the grey dots showed up. They disappeared a few times and then showed up one last time before a message finally came through. “Fine.” And then a second message came through. “I’m making the bus stop for some food. Do you want to get some food with me?” You sent him a message back, and within a few minutes the buses pulled off at a rest stop that had a bunch of restaurants inside. You pulled your headphones off and ran to your bunk to grab the hoodie that you had stolen from Calum at the beginning of the tour.
        The air was cool, but not chilling. You stepped out wearing a hoodie, pajama pants and some slippers. Calum stepped off his bus wearing a pair of basketball shorts, shin high socks, slippers and a long sleeved shirt. His smile lit up when he saw you and he ran towards you in a funny way. “Best friend!” He exclaimed and through his arms around you. You said nothing and he rolled his eyes, remembering that you won’t speak. “I hate your stupid rule.” He huffed and then started walking into the rest stop.
        “I’m thinking about getting something from Subway, want me to buy you something?” Your shrugged, not because you weren’t hungry, but because it felt weird when he bought you things. “Stop worrying about everything, if you’re hungry, I’ll buy you a sandwich.” You rolled your shoulders and nodded, giving into his offer. “Will you at least speak long enough to tell me what you want?” He asked raising an eyebrow.
        You rolled your eyes and turned towards the menu, studying it long enough to decide what you wanted. You cleared your throat, “Meatball sub, barbecue chips, water.”
        Calum rolled his eyes into the back of his head like he was in pure ecstasy, but really he was mocking you. “God, the sound of your voice just gets me going.” He finishes mocking you by plastering a smirk on his lips and then moving towards the counter. He started to place the order and you stayed behind him, your arms crossed over your chest. You stared at Calum’s back, memorizing the way his muscles moved as he reached into his pocket to grab his wallet.
        It wasn’t until you made it to the cashier that you noticed the guy behind the counter looking you up and down in an incredibly creepy way. Instinctively, you hid yourself behind Calum, and grabbed onto his shirt sleeve. As if your touch told Calum exactly what was happening, he didn’t skip a beat to look up and say something. “Could you not look at her like she’s a piece of meat?” Calum reaches back and grabbed your hand. Without saying a word, the guy walked into the back. Calum didn’t say another word as he grabbed the order and wrapped an arm around your shoulders pulling you away.
        “Thanks.” You said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. He responded by squeezing your shoulders and pulling you onto your bus. Calum told the driver they were good to go, and you pulled your eyebrows together. “Your bus?”
        Calum shrugged as he sat at the table and started pulling out the sandwiches. “It’ll be there tomorrow. Come eat.”
        As you sat across from Calum, he smiled at you and started unwrapping his sandwich. You slowly unwrapped yours and watched him take a bite. He closed his eyes as if it was the best thing he’d ever tasted and you laughed. He chewed and raised his eyebrows at you, proving he was just trying to get a reaction out of you. You shook your head and took a bite of your own sandwich. Once you finished your bite, you set the sandwich down and pulled your eyebrows together. “Why?”
        Calum pulled his own eyebrows together and cocked his head, “Why what?” He set his sandwich down and wiped his hands on his napkin, leaning back in his chair.
        You vaguely motioned over the food and around you, “This, everything.” You sighed, suddenly frustrated with your own rule. It’s like he had finally pushed you to the point he always tried to push you to, but this time he wasn’t trying. “Why are you always so nice to me, and protecting me, and buying stuff for me?”
        Calum raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and smiled before saying four words that you never thought would fall from his lips, “Because I love you.”

ranking haikyuu!! schools based on their school spirit
before you grill me with my rankings please know that i! love! all! of! these! schools! equally! i do not hate any particular school; i am simply ranking their school spirit. this is also lowkey crack because what everyone said made me laugh and honestly i came up with this idea for the laughs. so, like, don’t take this personally.
thanks everyone who helped participate by filling out the google form!! everything you’ve said i used in this. we will be going from last place to first place, so let’s start!! btw i ranked 11 schools into 10 places, so there are two 10th placers HAHAH anywayssss
10: ITACHIYAMA, NOHEBI
Alright, so let’s start with Itachiyama. I got one person who mentioned them in my last category, which was “any other school i didn’t mention? & why” and honestly we don’t know anything about them. But perhaps the mere fact that they were winners says something I guess?
❝ itachiyama bc the school are WINNER WINNERS i wanna see their hype ❞
❝ i’m sorry who ,,,, i deadass don’t know that team eye— are they from the last season ???? if so that’s why LMAOSNAKBS WAIT IS THIS GERMAPHOBES TEAM ??? THOSE NEON PISS PUKE LOOKING BOYS SOSNSJNSJDHS bro i’d drop tf out of that school if they gave me that ugly ass uniform OH MY GOD WHAT DOES THIER SCHOOL UNIFORM LOOK LIKE SKBAIABSJS BRO IMAGINE ❞ (about Nohebi but referring to Itachiyama)
Moving onto Nohebi: their tactics, as we’ve seen in the OVA, aren’t the most...... ethical. Though, they’re still supported by their cheering section so I guess it’s fine by their entire school?
❝ From what I recall, the schools pretty implicit in the teams techniques so at the very least they take pride or believe in the teams tactics enough to support them. ❞
❝ they be cheating >:( ❞
❝ nohebi scares me for no reason❞
Despite this, they’re still a team that shows solid support for one another.
❝ support all teams because all of them could trash me if it came down to it ❞
❝ they have fighting spirit alright but i just don't approve of their methods❞
❝ their stage play SLAPPED ❞
9: WAKUTANI
Okay, the team as a whole shows support for one another, especially their captain, Takeru. However, from what I recall, there’s not much... school spirit coming from their actual school. From Takeru’s family? Definitely, but they’re not the actual school.
❝ wasnt wakutani pretty good i don’t remembee ❞
❝ wakutani - a solid 8 ❞
❝ wakutani south because takeru’s family carried the cheer period ❞
8: JOHZENJI
Their whole team radiates spirit, but I don’t remember if they actually have a cheering section. Unlike Wakutani, where most of their spirit/support came directly from Takeru, each one of the members of the team had their own school spirit. Their school spirit isn’t that recognizable to be remembered by most people, though.
❝ a six cause i don’t really remember if their school was even there like ???? all i remember is baby teru and his fellow goofball second years that i absolutely adore, i am them. LMAO if i were to— fuck how do you spell realistic THERE SINSNSJ if i were to realistically join one of the haikyuu schools it would be johzenji cause i just vibe with those boys so much ksbsksj no brain cell squad ❞
❝ they ARE the spirit ❞
❝ not serious enough askdjsa ❞
❝ they appeared onc but even when they wanted to win, they just wanted to win to play around? there's that i guess ❞
❝ i don’t remember ❞
❝ I don’t remember much about them tbh ❞
❝ well... ❞
7: KARASUNO
Much apologies to the OG team. For one thing, their cheering squad, while I must admit is very impressive and loud, is not Karasuno High School itself. It’s literally coposed of a bunch of outside associations. And when their cheering section from the actual school does show up, they’re not even synchronized; they practiced for one day and called it “school spirit.” They showed up for one match and that was it.
❝ did you see them at the shiratorizawa match? they weren’t even synchronized ❞
❝ they mean to their vb team and they had a wack ass cheer team but character development ❞
❝ chaotic good but crows ❞
❝ mmmm we don't see too much of the school rlly apart from the vbc,, but what we do see is pretty supportive ❞
❝ LMAO remember during the first season when the school REUSED an old banner for the boys but not only was it a old banner but a banner for a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT sport yea lmao that’s just fucked up jsjsj also i don’t really see that much school spirit like ???? no taste at all ❞
I guess their school spirit within the team, their fighting spirit, makes up for it. Again, my greatest apologies to Karasuno. You can do much better than that.
❝ The way the whole school came out to support the vbc before the shiratorizawa match,,, I love them so much!! Also Saeko coming in with a DRUM TEAM for the Inarizaki match,,, like they’re so so supportive and Karasuno’s not a rich school like Shiratorizawa, it doesn’t have a highly ranked band like Inarizaki but like the team itself they’re plucky and do the best they can with what they’ve got. ❞
❝ They have the most dedication to me ❞
❝ they're so supportive of each other and very chaotic, all of them ❞
❝ kageyama tobio could get some !! ❞
6: NEKOMA
Honestly, I had a hard time choosing whether to put Karasuno or Nekoma in sixth place. I went with Nekoma because of Kuroo’s “inspirational” pep talk, which really shows the bond between each of the members of the team, but they’re still ranked pretty low because I can’t get that one scene out of my head from the manga where it’s this one match (I won’t say which one) where students from Nekoma attend the match and a couple of them go, “Wow, this is my first volleyball match that I’ve been to!” Like, dude, seriously? Wow. They also take sixth since their cheering squad, also composed of students, is led by a Nekoma Junior High student. We love supportive sisters.
❝ stage play cheer stage play cheer stage play cheer stage play cheer ❞
❝ i just love nekoma ❞
❝ chaotic good but cats ❞
❝ kuroo tetsurou ❞
❝ deadass it’s 2 am and i have no idea what i’m doing but anyways 7/10 cause i like their stage song/cheer ya know NEKO NEKO NEKOMA like it’s cute ksjsjs besides that i have no idea LMAO ❞
❝ they're very subtle even tho they have chaotic moments, they're more focused on defense while playing ❞
❝ Some of them really care and some dont ❞
❝ they’re all so into it! Like, Akane with the megaphone, Alisa screaming Lev’s name, they’re all pretty devoted. ❞
5: FUKURŌDANI
I would have ranked them a little higher if it weren’t for other more spirited schools. The whole school knows how to hype up Bokuto, along with cheers of their own. The team itself knows each member so well that they’re able to adapt to whatever their ace is feeling.
❝ stage play was good but not as good as nekoma stage play ❞
❝ they have to hype up bokuto ❞
❝ CHAOTIC ENERGY + BOKUTO SUNSHINE BOY and i am bias + THEIR COLOURS + JERSEY OMG ❞
❝ owl boy & pretty setter ❞
❝ FUCK why can’t i think of any of the episodes where they show the student body like ??? school spirit is nonexistent in my eyes i can’t recall a thing— anywhore 9/10 for my owl babies because i believe bokuto hypes up the students ALOT and therefore they are more into ya know spirit woo ❞
❝ have u seen their dynamic? they're strong and so supportive of their ace, their captain, the family bokuto needed - i could go on but yes, i think u get the picture ❞
❝ They love Bokuto so much 🥺 they’re all v supportive of the team and it seems like they also know how to get him to perform better and Fukurodani’s a powerhouse so I feel like they get into it. ❞
4: AOBA JOHSAI
Their cheering squad is so synchronized and so well-performed. They know what they’re doing and when to do things. You can tell they’re devoted. School spirit within their team is pretty strong, and they have a good bond with each other.
❝ fangirls can do anything ❞
❝ oikawa kinnies ❞
❝ chaotic good but plants ❞
❝ i don’t know whether they have school spirit or they’re just fans of oikawa LMAOOO AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT KSBSKSJS like deadass it’s just his fan girls ya know what i’m saying ❞
❝ MANNN THEIR *CHEERS* I'M- ❞
❝ OAHAISOAOAHAHHA SEIJOHHHHHHH ❞
❝ i love them for the 3rd years but that's about it ❞
❝ From what I can recall there’s nothing super special about them? I do love how they say olé for all of Oikawa’s serves (but ppl do that for other schools, so) ❞
3: SHIRATORIZAWA
So much to say about them. From their entire cheering squad that consists of both cheerleaders and drummers, to the fact that when they feel like they’re being challenged with who can cheer louder they start singing their school anthem? Absolutely powerful.
❝ cheerleaders ❞
❝ i would not want to be in preppy school but i do love SHIIIRATORIZAWA ❞
❝ they are close like family uwu tho they seem to be SUPER STRESSED bc studies ❞
❝ 10/10 cause have you heard their cheer? god tier. that shit would distract me so much during a game like what’s the purpose of being so god damn loud and extra other than distracting the enemy ??? i rest my case ❞
❝ SHIIIIIRATORIZA (also ushiwaka has his own lil cheer so like yes i support) ❞
❝ i dont particularly like or dislike anyone from them and simple is best so ?? ❞
❝ The Shiratorizawa chant is so simple, so good,,, I think they were also the first team we saw with actual cheerleaders too! Nice big rich private school cheersquad money right? ❞
2: DATEKO
Need I say more?
Tumblr media
1: INARIZAKI
There’s too much to say. They’re so extra it’s unbelievable. The entire cheering section knows how to adapt to each members’ likes and dislikes, and will call others out when they need to do so. For instance, when that one guy asked the two girls not to cheer while Atsumu is serving? Absolutely wild. And when they start booing or play a tempo to throw off the opponent whenever it’s the other team’s serve? Their practice and precision really shows. It’s crazy. And I’m pretty sure that they’re the only school that brings their entire orchestra to play during the matches.
❝ according to the wiki their marching band literally works to throw off the other team and if that’s not dedication idk what is ❞
❝ atsumu, shush me anytime ✨✨ ❞
❝ idk them asdas ❞
❝ deadass i’ve been on episode two of the latest season ( is it four or three?? i can’t fucking remember,,, 2 am is no brain cell hours ) for w e e k s because of second hand embarrassment. periodt. like hinata baby pls i’m begging. anyways suna is a god in my eyes, i deadass thought sakusa ( the germaphobe right?? ) was on the same team guess not i don’t know his uniform is ugly tho looking like a fucking germ himself ( THAT WAS GOLDEN SISJSJ IM PROUD OF MYSELF ), and lastly i have fallen in love with the man that is osamu, he can cook,... and he can do a whole lot of other things but my brain is malfunctioning so we’re gonna stop right there. #stanosamuforcleanskin ❞
❝ they have a fucking BAND ❞
❝ another chaotic team with their very own freak twins, i ranked them high because holy fuck that cheering band?? ❞
❝ Inarizaki’s cheer squad,,,, personally I lowkey hate them because deadass BOOING another player is tacky at best and kinda rude but my GOD do they put in the work. Cheerleaders, top ranked band, the timing and tempo thing? Insane. Oh, and the way they actually go silent for Atsumu like how the fuck did he pull that off?? ❞
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks for reading! I’m glad you read this far. I hope this made you at least smile just a little bit because it definitely made me smile. And please don’t think that I don’t like any of the teams! I love each and every one of them; it’s just that some have more school spirit than others... anyways!
Whoever sent this, I just wanted to let you know that you made my entire day when I first read that. It was so unbelievably funny HAHAH

I think when Sora said that to Yuuki she was upset, but I don't remember her telling anyone to kill themselves aside from Mikado and that one's optional when you do his free time events.
i apologize if this is weirdly written, in writing this inbetween watching the video, but! here's abt how it goes down
reminder: this is a killing game meant to make him feel hopeless, i don't think it'd b a stretch to say mikado was going it'd end like this, with his favorite actress + a band he likes being revealed as void/one member being a crazy incestual murderer 
sora is talking to everyone abt how they should work together to make hope. yuuki says he agrees with her, but he feels like there isn't any hope. He says Sora was feeling similarly yesterday, and asks if she's found a clue, and if that's why she's more hopeful now. At this point, Yoruko gets upset with him. 
sora says that yuuki should keep trying, keep working so they can escape the island (imo it comes across as “if ur depressed, just try thinking positive thoughts!” good in theory, but so fucking hard + negates what the person is going through, but i might just b looking too much into it)
okay so this just happened: mikado just applauded sora, which. actually kinda goes and works well with a theory i haven't talked about much: mikado programmed sora to hurt yuuki and make him fall into despair while posing as his friend. a example of this: later on, yuuki apologizes to sora (as he should've done) but rather than being all “ty for apologizing, i also could've handled the situation better” she just says something along the lines of “"i'm glad u realized u were being bad :)” and doesn't acknowledge where she went wrong, and makes yuuki feel guiltier, but that's just a theory i can but won't go more into (at least, not here)
next, yuuki says that what she's saying is a hollow platitude (aka: everyone says that, it's not helpful) sora says that her platitudes are better than “the aimless whines of a identically hopeless baby like you (yuuki)” i don't wanna copy the rest down, imma just summarize it only using words they actually say, but she says that he's always whining but never thinks of discussing it. now in this scene, yuuki. is actually trying to discuss with everyone, he just hasn't been persuaded yet to have hope in a game that has caused the death of 7 people so far, where literally anyone could be planning to sacrifice you and there's been no sign of change for weeks now.
yuuki says that talking won't find the exit, and sora says a person who complains will never escape. yuuki goes “"you little...!” (which, side note, is incredibly similar to what both shinji and yoruko said to him minutes ago) sora resounds with this, which my lovely bf actually typed out as a exact quote, ty babe ily “is that your attempt at threatening me? my aren’t you scary? would you like to hit me? come on hit me. as if you even have the courage to do that” 
yoruko calls her pissed off, which tells us abt her tone, shinji tells yuuki to stop, and we see some of soras internal thoughts. she calls yuuki pathetic, and apologizes. we. never see sora show any actual regret, only upset that she keeps getting angry. i'm not gonna go watch other videos, but. yea 
so sora was angry because yuuki was “pathetic” which i think is a reflection abt how deep down she is akane taira (not really, but they're meant to be similar) and how akane would be angry is master utsuro was hurt because she views him as being better than being upset. 
what yuuki did wasn't okay, he apologized, and that's what he should've done. however, sora also should have apologized, as this is just one of the many times yuuki has been hurting (my memory fails me, but in the video she mentions being angry and yelling at yuuki before) he's gone to a friend for help, and just been mocked and berated. sora was trying to provoke him when he was hurt and vulnerable. they were both wrong, but yuuki is the only one who ever shows remorse and who ever apologizes
and we already talked abt ur point with sora and mikado, both the ask u sent me, and the other anon + this is pretty long and my fingers hurt like hell so uh. the end :D

I have seen that 'story' go around a lot and I still don't know what it is. WHAT is My Immortal??
Ok buddy get yourself comfortable cause this is gonna be a long one:
Let’s go all the way back to 2006, when the internet was just becoming a thing to young people. Back when a majority of the websites we know today were either just starting out or just starting to pick up in popularity, including fanfiction.net. A lot of fanfictions had already filled the archives, both bad and good, but one fanfiction in particular caught people’s attention almost immediately. And it was ��My Immortal’ by “Tara Gilesbie”, or ‘XXXbloodyrists666XXX’ as was her username on the website. Supposedly taking place in the world of Harry Potter, this particular fanfic gets to a point where, had it not been for the actual characters’ names being present, you can’t really tell what it’s supposed to be referencing as it has very little acknowledgement of the source material’s canon. The story’s main focus is “Tara’s” self-insert OC, Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way. Also known as Enoby, Egogy, Evony, Ibony, or just Tara. To anyone who has only heard of ‘My Immortal’, it just sounds like your typical run of the mill “mary sue” fanfiction. But what made ‘My Immortal’ stand above the rest were three things: the butchered grammar, the author’s seemingly obsession with the gothic subculture, and the mary sue herself.
The grammar is terrible, there is just no other way to put it. “Tara” had a very distinct way of writing, which was better exemplified in her ‘author’s notes’, her little thoughts that she always puts at the very beginning of each chapter or sometimes at the end. And other times in the middle of her story, to either talk back to the ‘flamerz’, go on about how much she loves a band she mentioned, or point out a pun she made. And it all greatly resembles someone sending a text message:
“AN: STOP flaming! if u flam it menz ur a prep or a posr! Da only reson Dumbledeor swor is coz he had a hedache ok an on tup of dat he wuz mad at dem 4 having sexx! PS im nut updating umtil I get five good revoiws!”
That kind of style is present throughout the whole story. Granted the actual chapters have better spelling, but the way it’s put together is all the same. And it actually worsens the further it goes to the near point of illegibility. In fact, legend has it that the story’s grammar was apparently so bad that fanfiction.net deleted it due to the sudden drop of intelligence on the site. No one knows if that’s true, most likely not as that seems like quite a stretch. However, it was actually deleted, perhaps by Tara herself, though she later reposted it.
But the real kicker is exactly how the fanfic interprets the source material. Hogwarts is no longer a school of wizardry divided by bestowed houses, but is now a more high school-based setting where everyone is divided by cliques, though only three are present. Goths, preps, and posers:
•Goths are the good kids. They’re the only ones who understand this dark and depressing world better than anyone else, and shows their individuality by shopping at Hot Topic together and listening to the same exact bands. They’re also half vampires for some reason. And they’re all part of Slytherin even if they’re originally from another house in the actual story.
•Preps are the mean kids. They just like, totally don’t understand goths so they’re like so mean to them and call them scary and stuff. They’re all just bitchy and are like totally jealous of the goths and only shop at stores like American Eagle and only listen to crappy music like Hilary Duff. And all those stupid preps are in Gryffindor.
•Posers are just goth wannabes who listen to Avril Lavigne and probably don’t even know who Good Charlotte is. What houses are they even in, no one knows and no one gives a shit. They’re mostly there just to show the reader what being goth is really all about.
And above them all is the only true goth, the queen of Mary Sues herself, Ebony. Now the definition of what makes a “mary sue” has been drastically skewed over the years, and probably shouldn’t even be relevant anymore, but if you at the very least want a true-to-heart example, Ebony is the way to go. Tara’s obsession with being goth is greatly reflected in this character. She loves bands like My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and Evanescence (who wrote the song ‘My Immortal’ which this fanfic is named after). She shops at Hot Topic and wears the type of clothing that any 13 year old goth wishes they could. In fact, Ebony’s outfits are always described in great detail and takes up to almost paragraphs in every chapter:
“For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow.”
And trust me when I say they only get longer. It isn’t just the outfit descriptions though, the whole entire story is written in Ebony’s favor. Like a Hot Topic being in Hogsmede despite it being a nonmagical store (not to mention being an american chain) and a club where Ebony’s favorite bands just happen to be playing concerts in despite being muggle bands. And how cutting, underage drinking, and smoking is glamorized as being “dark” and “beautiful” and has no repercussions whatsoever. And how there’s no uniforms so Ebony can show off her over the top wardrobe.
Since Ebony is the main character and this is a fanfiction, all of Tara’s favorite characters from the Harry Potter world are Ebony’s gothic friends and accompany her in Slytherin, even if they’re canonly in other houses as I’ve mentioned previously. And all of Tara’s hated characters are Ebony’s enemies, and are depicted as either nasty preps or a bunch of posers that belong in Gryffindor. It doesn’t stop there though, as all the male characters have a thing for Ebony because she is just so sexy and looks exactly like Amy Lee. But Ebony only focuses on her two main love interests, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, who now goes by Vampire Potter because he likes the taste of human blood.
This is all just the very basics of the fanfiction, there are plenty of more absurdities you’ll stumble upon the further you read. Like Voldemort and the Death Eaters disguising themselves as My Chemical Romance, Snape video taping Ebony taking a bath, characters from different sources making cameos like Marty Mcfly, the list goes on.
But what truly, TRULY made ‘My Immortal’ such a phenomenon is that no one knew if it was legit. There were two sides to how people felt about it, those who thought it was a real story and Tara at the time was another young angsty teen who had just been introduced to the internet (which would explain the terrible grammar and botched sex scenes), and those who thought the story was one big joke written by a genius troll who made Tara up as a persona, which was extremely plausible since everything about the story was so wrong and completely blown out of proportion that there was no possible way someone could’ve come up with it and been completely serious. But people on the other side have argued that they’d have a very, VERY dedicated troll.
One of the biggest factors to their argument was Tara’s friend Raven, who not only had her own OC named Willow that was featured in the story, but also had a helping hand in writing it. She even had her own fanfiction.net account called ‘bloodytearz666’. Raven was Tara’s creative filter, as she was in charge of spelling and grammar and came up with some plot points in the story. At least until chapter 16 when the two apparently had a falling out and Tara killed off Willow, but later brought Willow back as an apology. So this troll would’ve had to not only make Tara, but also make Raven as a means to support their persona, unless Raven was created by a second troll. But both of those trolls would’ve had to write other stories pre and post ‘My Immortal’, as well as manage several social media accounts, which is a whole lot of effort just for the sake of making a joke.
Since the story was made, many people have come forward claiming they are the mysterious Tara, with promises of more material and continuations of the infamous story. So no one knew for sure who Tara is or her whereabouts. Until now.
After years and years of shrouded mystery, “Tara” has finally logged back into her more than decade old account and revealed herself to be Rose Christo. As it turns out, she co-wrote ‘My Immortal’ with Raven, who was actually a real person and her friend, during a very hard time in her life. And it wasn’t for a reason most might have thought. She revealed that she purposely made it as bad as possible so she could gain enough publicity to find her younger brother that she had been separated from.
She even wrote a memoir about it that is set to be published in 2018, which you can read about here.
You can also read the fanfiction itself if you’re interested here. Even if it did turn out to be a fake, it’s still a very humorous read, and very interesting since we now know its backstory.
EDIT: So as it turns out the whole thing with Rose was a hoax and the real Tara is still out there. Waiting, longing, in a dark alley with her hand stretched out so that I may one day shake it.

sf9 stands for “sensational feeling 9,” they’re an idol group under fnc entertainment that debuted on october 6, 2016. before debut they were in a program called neoz school as the neoz dance team, along with 4 other trainees that made up the neoz band team (now honeyst, check them out they’re great!) the two groups then entered the survival show dance or band (d.o.b) to get a chance at debut. the dance team won by a very close vote so they got to debut first. in korea, sf9 has released one single album, called feeling sensation, and two extended plays, called burning sensation and breaking sensation. in japan, they’ve recently released two singles, fanfare and easy love. they are currently holding fanmeetings around asia and will be at kcon la next month!

Can I request the RFA + Saeran finding out MC is a drummer (that was in like a metal band)? I'm a female drummer and I feel like we don't get a lot of recognition ;v;
so my dear friend suggested that maybe I should try to keep my HC’s a little shorter and see how people respond to it as opposed to my usual length. Honestly, I’m open for any critique if anyone has any. I want to get better, of course. I hope you’re not disappointed and enjoy ^^
|| REQUEST ARE (ALWAYS) OPEN!! ||
Zen
♬ himfinding out was kind of an accident
♬ he’dfound an old, dusty CD of a local metal band he’d listened to duringhis teens
♬ whenhe’d still been the edgy dude in a biker gang and all that
♬ whenyou’d found him head banging in the living room you’d laughed
♬ “Ididn’t know you knew my band.”
♬ …what…?!
♬ “yeah,I am the drummer.”
♬ Zenhad never been more amazed in his life
♬ hedemands you play for him every day from that moment on
♬ hewatches you practice
♬ sometimesyou even have jam sessions together
♬ hegoes to all your gigs, no matter how small
♬ healso runs around with a t-shirt of your band all the time
♬ heeven attempts to sell some of your old CD’s cause like
♬ th i s  i s  m y  c o o l  d r u m m e r  g i r l f r i e n d
♬ honestly,you’ve never dated someone quite as cute
♬ andslightly overly devoted

★ notthat he minds!
★ hefinds it extremely cool and loves watching you
★ especiallywhen you wear something shoulder less
★ it’smesmerizing, really how quick and smoothly you move
★ heis also sure that those arms could choke him
★ afterthat thought your performances suddenly become very erotic to him

hello I am new to ikon and I'm still getting to know the boys ! Can you do like a brief summary of what each of them are like (personality wise) and maybe their likes and dislikes ? I don't know if you these kinds of request but you are the only blog that seems easier to approach if u know what I mean ! ~~
hey there! omg welcome to the fandom c: sure sure, i will try my best to get you a small description of the boys, i hope you enjoy it. yeah, it’s totally fine to be honest and omg i’m glad to know that c: thanks for stopping by c: i apologize if this is very messy but i still hope you can get the main ideas out from this- let me just tell you that the original six members all have a mole on their neck- yes this information is very important...
hanbin / b.i.
hanbin is the leader of the group, he is not the elder of the group though and the other members have said that they are able to be where they are thanks to hanbin’s leadership. hanbin is however, very serious when it comes to work and he has stated before that out of the group, he’s the one who stays back later to work - he’s a workaholic; whenever he’s working he is pretty much strict with stuff to the point they call him tiger leader. apart from being the leader, he also works on the choreography, lyrics and what not- he has composed for other artists, other than his band (such as winner’s empty, together with bobby; he also took part on blackpink’s whistle, epik high’s born hater) i am not, under any circumstance saying that the songs are only hanbin’s creation though. he does write their songs but there are other people involved as well, either on the composing part or the lyrics. he’s also very dorkish and a bit shy sometimes. he has a huge passion for his little sister that has been present in the survivals he had been part of and the concerts as well. oh- he also has an obcession for mickey mouse haha and his favorite snack is probably pringles. he is called by his members gorilla / monkey and is a model for nona9on together with cl, bobby and blankpink’s lisa (i’m sorry if there’s anyone missing here).  i’m sorry, i almost forgot his love for dogs- i had to state this.
jiwon / bobby
he’s the other rapper in iKON although he can also sing; he has composed songs for his own and also for iKON as well as for other artists (as stated, winner’s empty, took part in epik high’s born hater, hisuhyun’s i’m different). he is the winner of show me the money 3. he also debuted under the subunit MOBB, together with winner’s song mino. he is, as stated before, a model for nona9on. he’s the mood maker who’s 99% of the time all hyper - for concerts he is the party itself. he’s very close to his family and let me just say he is very charming. jinhwan and bobby are the ones who have been with hanbin since the begining, them being the very original team that later on had four other guys joining them. he does get along with everyone pretty well. he has an older brother and used to live in virginia, i believe; his family moved back to korea when he won show me the money 3 as he had promised to buy a house for them. he’s good at basketball, by the way. and has an obcession with winnie the pooh-
junhwe / junhoe
he’s the sassiest out of them. and he’s awkward as hell, tho he is aware of that. and i’m sorry but i gotta say this - he is probably the silliest out of them. he’s part of the vocal line, as well as the maknae line. in all honesty, is vocals are probably the easiest to distinguish from the group. oh and he is loud as hell. he had participated in kpop star (not sure of the season, sorry) and well, he has an undying passion for michael jackson. he’s also very good at dancing. i believe he took part in composing at least one of the songs in their album, rhythm ta it is. other than this, he’s the one to tease the other members and atcually mock them because he has no shame. okay, i didn’t say this haha. he has an elder sister
donghyuk
he’s a very smart, loving and sweet guy. has been part of jyp entertainment before joining yg entertainmend and team b. his father passed away when he was eight. he was part of the DEF company (just in case you wanna see him dancing, which you should because he’s life). he has a younger sister. omg lemme say that this cutie patootie hurt his beautiful foot on the last episode of mix and match. and he’s the paparazzi (dongparazzi) of the group. he also plays the piano and his voice is sweet like an angle’s- don’t try to deny it, fight me if you do- he’s a cutie and probably gets teased often. he offered his debut album to his late father as he promised he would when he visited him. and you gotta know that his laugh is life- lemme just- on bobby’s holl up, there’s donghyuk laughing and i feel like my life is complete. he also speaks english as he had studied overseas, in america, i think? i’m not totally sure about this-
yunhyeong
he has a huge passion for the nivea lipbam which got him to participate on a commercial. i had to start by here... he’s the closest to hanbin and junhwe (as he had stated he joined when junhwe did). he also has a sister that’s a model or something like that and a dog. out of everyone, he cooks the best as his family owns a restaurant. he is one of the most underrated members and he tends to keep his feelings to himself especially if he’s sad because he doesn’t want to worry the others tho he is always looking out for the group, making sure they’re alright. oh and he looks alike chanwoo...or better, chanwoo looks alike him so they are the monster twins- yunhyeong also likes pranking the others and he is pretty clueless when he is pranked- cue in that one time jiwon pulled a prank on him and yunhyeong was real lost. he’s mostly smiling as well, because that’s just how bright he actually is
chanwoo
he was the last one to join the original group. he is the maknae and a very kind person who hates crying in front of other people. he had improved a lot, both dancing wise and singing wise after the show and even though he was real closed and probably even akward, he is now more carefree to the point he goes around mocking the eldest, especially bobby (you gotta know they are natural enemies). he’s one of the tallest out of the group, together with junhwe but this kid- damn. he has an older brother and he was an actor and joined ikon to follow his dream. he had participated in tvxq’s balloons mv (i believe) when he was a kid, together with astro’s moonbin who’s his childhood friend. we need actor chanwoo tbh- he is the satan of the group the evil maknae
jinhwan
he’s the eldest and a very sensitive person who doesn’t like people fighting. he has a sister, not sure if younger or older. he participated on mari and i with b.i., a show where he roasted the living hell out of hanbin where he played with dogs and animals in general. he’s the shortest out of the group and gets teased about it, our little 13cm fairy- he has an heart shaped mole under his eye ermg- so cute tbh. also, he’s trustworthy and he was born in jeju so he loves the ocean and whenever they go there, they have to swim or he’ll nag at the members because coming to jeju and not going for a swim is like a sin- his vocals are very sentimental as well, he can easily express his feelings through the song and he is very funny too- he likes teasing his members a lot but then gets roasted and just yeah- poor him-
well, i know that there’s so much left to say but my brain right now is just not working anymore hahah. i hope you enjoyed it and feel free to stop by the ask box again if you have any question.

Conversation
Crying!Adam Comforting!Blake - Shevine
Summery: When the interviewer starts questioning about him being a womaniser he just shrugs. But then everyone starts to believe it. Everything goes downhill from there...
-
Adam was standing on a red carpet when it all begun. It was a normal day for him really and everything was going well, the interviewers had great attitudes and everyone was friendly and caring – But he hadn't known he was hanging out with a lot more girls than guys. Although, he was a closeted gay man everyone still thought he was connected to woman in a weird way. Now here he was, standing with a woman who would tell him the worst question and ruin his whole career.
“Hello Adam,” She said casually as if nothing bad was going to happen and what she didn't know was it was going to affect him THAT badly.
“Hi,” he muttered back.
“So, I've heard your the womaniser in your band or you just are a womaniser overall.. Can we confirm this as true?”
Adam stopped the tracks in his brain and looked at the woman with a full hatred before shrugging and walking away from her. He never gave an answer so they shouldn't properly put it on the News. He just wished everyone was still shipping shevine. He only loved him.
The next day he came up to a Twitter to post about his new Album that was upcoming. But when he did the comments were just about him and... the last interview he had? Sniffling as tears began slowly filling his eyes he wiped them as he read them, coming to terms that nobody would ever like him again.
'knew he was like this anyway'
'such a loserrrrr'
'womaniser i hate u'
'rlly? wht type of human r u?'
'die'
'nobody loves you'
'slut'
'whore'
'idiot'
'gross'
'kill yourself'
'quit Maroon 5'
'you don't deserve anything! DIE!'
Adam was now crying. Silent sobs escaping his mouth and the tears rolling down his cheeks as he watched Twitter blow up with more hate comments, one after one they all came and went with more to come afterwards and he couldn't believe it. How could one interview change his whole life – Funny, cheeky and carefree, ADHD Adam to Sad, lonely and wanting to die in the moment Adam.
Then what he received next was the worst part. All of his bandmates and manager was forcing him to ... to quit the band. As he sobs began to become un-silent. He remembered why this was happening to him. The media.
Bandmate 1- 'adam u know .. just quit the band as soon as possible .. k, thnx'
Bandmate 2- 'bye to the band'
Bandmate 3- 'cant believe u are using woman man ... didn't even deny it .'
Bandmate 4- 'get out and don't return.'
Bandmate 5- 'better off without you in this band tbh.'
Bandmate 6- 'maroon 5 will be good now haha'
Bandmate 7- 'really dude? Wow..'
Manager - 'you're out'
Adam crawled away from his phone as if it was a monster and dropped onto the floor. He only managed to get under the table when he bursted out in full sobs. He again just reached out for his phone when it binged hoping it to be anyone but The Media. Except it was.
Newspaper - 'Adam Levine Using WOMAN?'
The Sun - 'Adam Levine A Womaniser?'
Daily Mail - 'Adam Levine Doesn't Deny Rumours Being A Womaniser'
Adam Levine.

He watched as all these newspapers and comments and much heart filled paragraphs were full of why he was that womaniser. He was never. The only woman he had married and divorced was Behati. And yes, maybe he did hang out with more woman this year but it was as a friend. He couldn't date that MANY.
Soon enough, the tears were endless and no matter how many times he tried to get them away they kept coming. This time his phone binged and binged and he saw his friends and boyfriend from The Voice messaging him desperately.
Shakira - 'omg adam don't look at Twitter please'
Usher - 'man you probably looked at Twitter need to talk 'bout it ?'
Pharrell Williams - 'i am so sorry'
Christina Aguilera - 'are you okay?'
CeeLo Green - 'do you want to talk about anything honestly?'
Gwen Stefani - 'please talk to us. we don't if you're dealing with this or struggling. At least talk to Blake. He's freaking the hell out over here at work, he had to cancel practice with his team.'
Miley Cyrus - 'look, I don't know what the hell is happening on Twitter currently but you need to tell us or anyone. I haven't been on yet so... come to the voice and we'll discuss and make it pass over?'
Alicia Keys - 'gosh. I hate some twitter people. Not you.'
Blake Shelton - 'Adam, I heard what happened and the whole of social media is blowing up. I'm coming over pretty soon.'
Blake Shelton - 'just to talk to me dude, what the heck happened? I just wanna help'
Adam Levine - 'come quick'
That was the only reply he sent to Blake and his breathing was getting slower and slower till he felt like he was dying.
BING.
Blake Shelton - 'ok dude coming'
-
Blake was on a rush. He didn't know what was happening but that 'come quick' text sent him into a terrifying frenzy. His car battled through other cars and he was glad LA was a bit more relaxed than usual. He reached Adams house and knocked on the door. He mentally slapped himself for doing that and just walked in. He saw his boyfriend immediately under the table with his phone smashed. He walked over to him and pulled him into a hug, placing him onto who his lap. Hearing Adam crying was the most heartbreaking thing in the world.
“Adam, Adam, look at me.” Blake told him firmly and when he didn't he lifted his chin and saw his eyes were red, puffy and tears were gradually building up again and so he wiped them away. “What happened?”
“I-I-I d-don't know! I- I thought it would be easier to not say anything, just ignore it... l-look w-w-where that g-got me.” He chuckled bitterly.
“Okay, but this isn't your fault. What did they tell you?” Blake asked while wrapped his arms around Adams waist so he could comfort him more.
“T-told me I s-should die and-and that I-I-I am a s-s-slut and whore, but I'm not.. I promise. They were friends.. oh god, what will my parents think?”
Just as he had weakly said those words two more bings sounded on his phone and he read them, soon a gentle smile formed on his face.
Mum - 'Blake told me what happened, dear. Hate the media but you'll always be my star x'
Dad - 'Son, I will make these people pay. Rise up again'
Blake looked at the phone and smiled and then up at Adam who hugged him as tightly as he could.
-
The next day they were going to rumours and reports were being made.
News Channel - 'Interviewer sued and arrested for fake obligation towards lead singer Adam Levine.'
@adamlevine - 'Guys, they were my female friends. I am a gay man and proud.'
@blakeshelton - '@adamlevine and I'm loving you...'
Comments swirled in like crazy and apologies and big 'I'm so sorry's' were coming in and he couldn't feel happier. There was probably only one 'faggot' comment but it didn't matter. He had Blake. He didn't care.
They were OK.

As many of u may know, I suffer with depression 😢 This is not a feeling I choose 🙈 it is due to a chemical imbalance in my brain ✅ I've recently had "help" from outside sources, her words of advice for me were "just wake up and chose to think positive" oh and the usual "u just need to try harder" or "u don't want to be like this in 6 months do you??" 🙄😤🤦🏻‍♀️ These r typical responses from people who don't suffer with depression and r as offensive as saying to someone in a wheelchair "u have legs, why don't u use them" Yes I have a brain, but it doesn't work like urs 😔 Take some time to educate urselves if u know of someone who suffers with mental illness. With so many celebrities committing suicide or checking into rehab because of depression - do u really think it's made up?? Worst Things to Say to Someone Who’s Depressed By Psych Central Staff ~ 3 min read Some people trivialize depression (often unintentionally) by dropping a platitude on a depressed person as if that is the one thing they needed to hear. While some of these thoughts have been helpful to some people (for example, some find that praying is very helpful), the context in which they are often said mitigates any intended benefit to the hearer. Platitudes don’t cure depression. Here is the list from contributors to a.s.d. (alt.support.depression): 0. “What’s *your* problem?” 1. “Will you stop that constant whining? What makes you think that anyone cares?” 2. “Have you gotten tired yet of all this me-me-me stuff?” 3. “You just need to give yourself a kick in the rear.” 4. “But it’s all in your mind.” 5. “I thought you were stronger than that.” 6. “No one ever said life was fair.” 7. “As you get stronger you won’t have to wallow in it as much.” 8. “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” 9. “Do you feel better now?”(Usually said following a five minute conversation in which the speaker has asked me “what’s wrong?” and “would you like to talk about it?” with the best of intentions, but absolutely no under-standing of depression as anything but an irrational sadness.) 10. “Why don’t you just grow up?” 11. “Stop feeling sorry for yourself.” 12. “There are a lot of people worse off than you?” 13. “You have it so good, why aren’t you happy?” 14. “It’s a beautiful day!” 15. “You have so many things to be thankful for, why are you depressed!” 16. “What do you have to be depressed about”. 17. “Happiness is a choice” 18. “You think *you’ve* got problems…” 19. “Well at least it’s not that bad.” 20. “Maybe you should take vitamins for your stress.” 21. “There is always somebody worse off than you are.” 22. “Lighten up!” 23. “You should get off all those pills.” 24. “You are what you think.” 25. “Cheer up!” 26. “You’re always feeling sorry for yourself.” 27. “Why can’t you just be normal?” 28. “Things aren’t *that* bad, are they?” 29. “Have you been praying/reading the Bible?” 30. “You need to get out more.” 31. “We have to get together some time.” [Yeah, right!] 32. “Get a grip!” 33. “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” 34. “Take a hot bath. That’s what I always do when I’m upset.” 35. “Well, everyone gets depressed sometimes!” 36. “Get a job!” 37. “Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone.” 38. “You don’t *look* depressed!” 39. “You’re so selfish!” 40. “You never think of anyone but yourself.” 41. “You’re just looking for attention.” 42. “Have you got PMS?” 43. “You’ll be a better person because of it!” 44. “Everybody has a bad day now and then.” 45. “You should buy nicer clothes to wear.” 46. “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” 47. “Why don’t you smile more?” 48. “A person your age should be having the time of your life.” 49. “The only one you’re hurting is yourself.” 50. “You can do anything you want if you just set your mind to it.” 51. “This is a place of BUSINESS, not a HOSPITAL”; after confiding to supervisor about my depression 52. “Depression is a symptom of your sin against God.” 53. “You brought it on yourself” 54. “You can make the choice for depression and its effects, or against depression, it’s all in YOUR hands.” 55. “Get off your rear and do something.” -or- “Just do it!” 56. “Why should I care?” 57. “Snap out of it, will you?” 58. “You *want* to feel this way.” 59. “You have no reason to feel this way.” 60. “Its your own fault.” 61. “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” 62. “You’re always worried about *your* problems.” 63. “Your problems aren’t that big.” 64. “What are you worried about? You should be fine.” 65. “Just don’t think about it.” 66. “Go Away.” 67. “You don’t have the ability to do it.” 68. “Just wait a few weeks, it’ll be over soon.” 69. “Go out and have some fun!” 70. “You’re making me depressed as well…” 71. “I just want to help you.” 72. “The world out there is not that bad…” 73. “Just try a little harder!” 74. “Believe me, I know how you feel. I was depressed once for several days.” 75. “You need a boy/girl-friend.” 76. “You need a hobby.” 77. “Just pull yourself together” 78. “You’d feel better if you went to church” 79. “I think your depression is a way of punishing us.” —My mother 80. “Sh*t or get off the pot.” 81. “So, you’re depressed. Aren’t you always?” 82. “What you need is some real tragedy in your life to give you perspective.” 83. “You’re a writer, aren’t you? Just think of all the good material you’re getting out of this.” 84. This one is best executed with an evangelical-style handshake, i.e. one of my hands is imprisoned by two belonging to a beefy person who thinks he has a lot more charisma than I do: “Our thoughts and prayers are with you.” This has actually happened to me. Bitten-back response: “Who are ‘our’? And don’t do me any favors, schmuck.” 85. “Have you tried camomile tea?” 86. “So, you’re depressed. Aren’t you always?” 87. “You will be ok, just hang in there, it will pass.” “This too shall pass.” – Ann Landers 88. “Oh, perk up!” 89. “Try not being so depressed.” 90. “Quit whining. Go out and help people and you won’t have time to brood…” 91. “Go out and get some fresh air… that always makes me feel better.” 92. “You have to take up your bed and carry on.” 93. “Why don’t you give up going to these quacks (ie doctors) and throw out those pills, then you’ll feel better.” 94. “Well, we all have our cross to bear.” 95. “You should join band or chorus or something. That way you won’t be thinking about yourself so much.” 96. “You change your mind.” 97. “You’re useless.” 98. “Nobody is responsible for your depression.” 99. “You don’t like feeling that way? So, change it.”
