in which jude is your best friend, or well, was. hes much more now
word count - 1.3K
watch it - arguments, yelling. happy ending tho hehe
------
“Can you grab my purse? I left it in the back seat." 
Jude looks up from his phone at the doorway and gives you a nod, “Yeah gimme a sec, i got it.”
You send him a smile and thanks before taking your shoes off and relaxing on his couch. Today was an impromptu hang out, practice ended early and the personal trainer was out, so this was one of the few days Jude had to relax.
He still wanted to spend it with you, even after you told him he should use the opportunity to nap or just relax in his room. 
'What's the point if I can't bother you at the same time ?' was all he said. 
so you caved and got ready for him to pick you up, soon to raid his fridge or find another movie to watch. (which you always end up talking over but that's okay. It's the thought that counts. you even have your own Netflix profile on his tv !)
Your phone goes off and you're pleasantly surprised to find it's the man you met a few days ago. You caught his eye and he politely approached you while you were on a little coffee run. a treat after a bad few days. 
You smile when you text your date back confirmation. Dinner date this Saturday how exciting !
Jude comes back with your purse in hand, sliding it on the table your way before crashing into your side. 
"Jesus Jude- my god- you're too big to be doing that. you're gonna kill me someday." you sputter.
"no, it's good to keep you on your toes." he giggles while smothering himself into your side
you groan trying to get him off before resorting to kicking him off with your legs. 
he yells before hitting the ground, "Im worth too much for you to be throwing me around what the hell."
"you started it! you're so annoying, oh my god."
he narrows his eyes before getting up and sitting a far distance away from you, for safety. 
he puts on a movie and continues to sulk while you roll your eyes. 
‘Oh by the way I'm gonna have to cancel saturday. “ 
“What, why ? What happened?“ 
“I have a dinner date that day ! isn't that exciting.’
Jude only scowls at you, unimpressed. “You're canceling, over a man. First of all, why is this the first time I'm hearing about this guy. And why didn't you tell him you were busy and just pick a different day.”
“Saturday is his only day off. I don't know why you're so mad.” You frown. 
“Saturday afternoon is my only afternoon off.”
“Jude. Why are you being so childish?”
“I don't know because you're putting some guy you just met before me, your best friend.”
“He's not just some guy I think we could really be something. Why do you have to be so protective of me? I'm not 5 oh my god.”
“It's not just that it's that you're canceling our hangout for him.”
“We always hang out-”
“Exactly so I don't know why you're jumping so quickly to change it over some dick.”
“Im not like that and you fucking know it. You of all people should know that this is a chance I don't want to miss out on just because we order food and stare at a tv for hours on saturdays.”
“Oh so that's all it is to you. Staring at a tv.’ Jude rolls his eyes.
“It's not like that, I love hanging out with you. "
" I just don't understand why you're suddenly so eager to see anyone right now . I can't make any plans with anyone without you storming down here and telling me it's a waste of time. " He sighs 
You stare at him in disbelief. “Because you have a career ?? i don't give two shits who you talk to, but I can't let you make dumb decisions. I will always be your best friend, that's my job and nothing more."
"That's why this is so frustrating,” He waves his hands in the air aimlessly, “Do you even know what you're saying to me?"
"You're not making sense." You shake your head. 
 “I don't want to fight with you, I just don't understand why you're acting so selfish.”
“That's your problem, you act like I'm doing something wrong instead of being happy for me."
“You dont fucking get it do you oh my god I dont know how to be any more clear with you so you can get It.”
You don't say anything, choosing not to read any deeper into his words and instead watch the rest of the movie in silence. You don't have it in you to argue with him anymore. You care for him, truly. He's your best friend and you couldn't be happier or more proud to be able to have him by your side. 
But there's always that prickle of feeling that lays within you. A prickle of yearning, a wanting for more. You're not blind by any means, Jude is a handsome man and he's grown into his features better than you expected. 
You don't know if it's just delusion, but there's always a base layer of tension between you too. Always a second away from something going too far and it leading where it probably shouldn't. 
But you know it's deeper than a what if for you. You've found a good friend in him and somewhere along the way you've drifted to less than only platonic feelings. But you also know the way Jude is, the way he acts and talks is just that. Not meant to be read deeper and you dont let anything get your hopes up anymore. 
It's the reason why you said yes to that guy in the first place, so you can hopefully stop crushing on your best friend and move on.
Your over-thinking soon passes the time and you find yourself in an awkward quiet that neither of you want to break in fear of more arguing. But Jude takes the risk.
"I'm sorry," he mumbles.
"For what Jude? "
"For how I acted, and what I said. It was an asshole move to assume you're only gonna meet him for dick when I know you aren't like that. And for acting like you can only hang out with me. I'm sorry.”
You sit there silently, not saying a word. 
He turns to face you almost desperately, “You're my best friend you really are. I care about you, more than anyone else. And i just- fuck it. You’ve given me some of the most precious moments of my life, but I think I’d be a better boyfriend if you’d let me, friends just doesn’t do justice to what I feel for you anymore.”
You stand up and walk over to him, standing between his legs and placing his hands in yours, gently smiling.
“Please say something.” He whispers. 
“I can't think of anything I want more than for you to be mine Jude.”
He jumps at that, bringing you flush to his chest, “What about the guy on saturday?’ “I'm obviously going to cancel and tell him I'm no longer available.”
“Good.” He smiles. There is a moment where his gaze focuses on your lips and you can feel your face blush at the newfound attention.
“Can I, kiss you ?” He breathes
You give a nod, and no sooner do his hands gently cup your face, his lips meeting yours.

The problem with netflix is that they dont care about anything that isint money. its a fucking corporation and im done.
Im fucking done.
They keep making wlw shows with small screentime and invest no money in them because they know we will watch it and promote it anyways. And its a gods damned circle that goes round and round and unless we stop it on our part, they never will, because they get to spend nothing and still get shit tons of money out of it.
THEY CANT TREAT US LIKE THEIR PERSONAL MONEY BAGS. IT HAS TO FUCKING STOP!
Im just mad honestly... i am still holding on hope that Simon might get another network to pick it up because we all know that the story of warrior nun was not finished. their stories, were not finished. But thats all it is... hope. I do believe in this show. From the bottom of my heart i do, but i cant do it anymore. I cant keep getting attached to a show, see myself being potrayed by characters that i relate to and then get it ripped out of my hands.
They didnt even give the show a chance! Lets face it if they were still pending on the decision to cancel it or not they would have promoted it. But they didnt, so we did, so more people watched it, so more money they made and we fell into that trap. The show is amazing and deserves every bit of attention it gets because,
It. Is. An. Amazing. Show.
And i will say that untill the day i do not breathe the air of this world anymore.
I know netflix dosent care about my voice, my opinions alone. But if theres enough of us, if there's enough of people that believe and raise their voices at the same time i think we could do something about it. So i will stay in the fandom. Not that i could leave realisticaly, ill probably be in this boat till the end lol.
And im gonn stop watching anything on netflix. Back to pirating i go. Never needed the thing anyway, the luxuries of hd and no lag might be amazing but i dont fear returning to the days of watching series in a shit ass eating quality. I dont fear watching shows epispde by epispde in the form of a small square in youtube and ignoring a random persons reactions to it. I dont fear the days of episodes getting mixed up and having to use wiki to know in what order to watch em correctly.
Consider this my goodbye to the legality of man and hello to my past and future, pirating.
all aboard mateys,
hopefully in this life, not the next, because im not giving up

TXT REACTIONS TO YOU HAVING PERIOD CRAMPS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: beomgyu x reader, taehyun x reader, hueningkai x reader
genre: fluff
beomgyu and maknae line
beomgyu
Tumblr media
when he saw you crying on the bed, he's lowkey freaking out, thinking he did something wrong,
but he's pretty sure he didnt do anything wrong at least not until the extent that you'd be crying
he just ate the last piece of your favourite brownies, so now he's not really sure 🤨
"y/n baby, im sorry for eating the last piece of the brownies, please dont cry, i'll buy you a whole new one right now, okay," 🥺
"YOU ATE THE LAST PIECE?" 😡
you didnt intend to shout, but you were in pain, and you kept the brownie since yesterday, so
he stood still looking like a kicked puppy, so you said sorry ://
he wasnt rlly sure what to do so he tried hugging you.
"are you hurt, y/n?"
"im having period cramps,"
"oh,"
highkey freaking out
inside his head, it's literally like that spongebob meme where all the spongebobs freak out running in circles.
"what should i do?"
"nothing gyu, just help me get the heat pad and some pain killers please,"
he brought every single pain killer he could find, spreading them on the bed.
he may be a bit clueless, but he stayed by your side all the time, just so you can ask for help anytime.
also he did order the brownies, so all is fine again,
taehyun
Tumblr media
oh this man was born ready for this.
kidding, he had been prepared for this moment ever since you started dating.
he even looked up on the internet
so you're a bit surprised when he gave you a heat pad
cause you didnt even tell him you're having your period, and you're at his house
but then again, you had been frowning and you pushed him away when you're cuddling with him while watching netflix just to crouch on the floor, to ease your sudden period cramps.
"how did you know?"
"i looked into your menstruation cycle app the other day, sorry, but i swear i didnt open anything other than that,"
"have i told you that you're so precious," 🥺
"have i told you that you're more precious, y/n,"
"so if i ask you, do you by any chance have a sanitary pad, you're not gonna be mad at me, right,"
that's when he took out a whole ass box labeled 'Y/N'S SURVIVAL KIT'
there are sanitary pads with wings, without wings, overnight ones, tampons, (he bought everything cause he didnt know which one you prefer), painkillers, chocolates, just name it.
you felt like asking him to hand in marriage right there and then,
but you figured that's a lil bit over the top, so you just gave him a quick peck.
he even set up the bed for you to lie down on,
he's very thorough, so when you got comfy on the bed, he'd ask if your back hurts
he'd massage your back if it does, also expect being showered by comforting words.
hueningkai
Tumblr media
i dont think hueningkai will freak out cause he has two sisters,
his heart breaks when he saw you crying because of period cramps
cause his sisters had told him how much it hurts
so i think the moment you told him, he'd just help you get comfortable and give you one of his favourite plushies to hug,
he wont even let you touch the plushie on normal occasions
so your heart melts at this,
but you didnt tell him, cause you didnt want him to be a brat about it
he has an adorable habit of giving belly rubs so he'd definitely do this,
and you felt much better,
it doesnt really help ease the pain, but you felt cared and loved, and you felt a lil bit fuzzy, so it helped you get your mind off it.
will definitely cuddle you to sleep
"are you sleeping y/n?"
"no, why?"
"i actually wanted to go to the bathroom since 15 mins ago,"
"you should've told me," 😥
"i didnt want to wake you up," 🥺

NIALL
December 2018
I had no idea how many pints we had swallowed but clearly, when we got out of the restaurant, I felt a sensation of happiness invade me and I was not really sure why. Louis said something funny and I laughed as we started walking down the street and I replied something that had to do with his girlfriend. He pushed with the side of his body and I started laughing again. It was a good thing we decided to get out to sober up a bit and I felt my eyes flutter when a cool breeze his my face.
It felt so good to be close to Louis again. I couldn't pretend I was totally okay with the fact that he had sex with Olivia but I knew it was a bit stupid of me to hold that grudge. It had been months and it was different now. it was completely different. I was with her and we loved each other, and I was going to ask her to marry me. Soon. Very Very soon.
"I wish I was there to see Liv's face when you'll ask her to be your wife." Louis let out as I glanced at him.
He was smiling fondly and it made me realize he was happy for her. He was happy for both of us. Suddenly, I knew exactly why Olivia had picked him as a best friend. They were so similar in so many aspects and if they hadn't had sex before, I would have said they could have been siblings... twins, perhaps. Not physically, of course, but mentally and emotionally, they were almost exactly the same.
"Definitely, you won't." I chuckled, glancing at him again as I pushed my hands in my pockets.
"Oh, I know." he shrugged, his lips still curled. "I mean, when you two started talking again, she told me she was going to get married with Dylan anyway but I could hear it in her voice that it's not what she really wanted. I told her that she should get married with you instead."
My eyebrows raised and I turned to him as we stopped walking. I was surprised that Louis said that since I was very aware of how mad he was at me after I broke her heart. It had broken our friendship in a way I thought could never be mended back together, but here we were, laughing and having fun the way we used to. He was the first one I told about the ring and somehow, it made total sense.
"Really?" I asked, glancing at him. "I wouldn't have thought but, thank you, Tommo."
"Look, no offense mate, but I did it for her, not for you."
It hurt slightly but I just nodded and licked my lips. It didn't change the fact that he knew Olivia had feelings for me, and most likely thought we were meant to be, and that was enough for me. I couldn't expect our friendship to be exactly how it used to be. Too many things happened, and we both had changed, but I still enjoyed this night and the fact that I was getting my friend back.
We kept walking slowly in silence and after a while, I frowned. I knew where I was and it took me a few seconds to realize why this place felt so important. My heart jumped in my chest and I held my breath when I saw the sign of the bakery a bit farther in the street. It was not lighted up but I could easily read it anymore and I stopped right next to the door.
"You okay Niall?"
I ignored him and moved closer to the door, leaning my forehead against the window just to look inside. I couldn't see the place I had seen her for the first time in over a year, but I could clearly see the spot where I had been standing. A bunch of feelings invaded me, the same feelings that had invaded me back then, when my eyes had fallen on her, and I had to swallow hard, as if my heart was threatening to jump out of my throat.
"Uh-oh," Louis started low. "Looks like it's about to rain."
I blinked a few times, staring some more seconds inside the bakery, and suddenly, something seemed to hit me. I had no idea why I had waited for so many months, I didn't know what the fuck I was thinking. I should have told Olivia that I wanted to marry her, I should have asked her to be my wife back in april, when I bought that damn ring. I had been ready to spend my life with her since that day I saw her again at the bakery and there was no reason to wait again.
I felt raindrops hit the top of my head and wet my shirt, but I just breathed in deeply and turned around, my eyes roaming on the empty and dark street.
"Mate, are you okay?"
Once again, I ignored Louis and without thinking, I started running. I could hear him yelling my name a few times behind me but I didn't stop : I just kept on running as te rain started falling even harder, pouring over me like a shower. I felt my white shirt stick to my chest and the sound of how wet my socks were as I ran on the sidewalk. I didn't even stop when I arrived in front of my house but for some reason, Olivia opened the door just as I was walking up the stairs. She was only wearing a shirt and panties and the sight made me swallow hard.
"Niall? Are you okay?" she asked with a frown, taking a step out as I shook my head, panting loudly, my lips parted and my eyes stuck on her.
"No, no Olivia, I'm not okay." I just let out.
She took a step closer and even if she was still protected somehow from the rain, I could see a few raindrops on her forehead. She brought her hand to my chest and saw her body quiver as a shiver crossed it.
"What's wrong?"
I could hear worry in her voice and it made me realize that no one in the world has ever loved me the way she loved me. No one in the world loved me as much as she loved me. No one ever would, and I didn't want anyone else to anyway. The love she was giving me in every word, every touch, every gaze... that love couldn't be compared to anything else I ever had the chance to get.
"I don't want to wait anymore, Olivia... I've waited enough." I pointed out, making her frown slightly and shake her head.
"W-What?"
"There's no reason to wait anymore!" I let out in an excited tone as I felt every fiber of my body boiling. "It's useless to wait! I love you! I want to spend my life with you!"
Her lips curled and her traits softened. "Me too, Nee." she admitted in a low tone, tilting her head and licking her lips.
"No, Liv, you don't get it." I let out, shaking my head, my lips curling even more. "I know i'll spend my life with you, I won't pass next to this chance a second time. I know I'll never ruin this again, because this is the most important relationship I've ever had and you're the most important person in my life. I want to share everything with you.. Every good morning's and good night's, and every grocery shopping trips, and... and netflix nights, and cleaning days. I want to be with you, and take care of you, and love you the way you deserve to be loved. I want us to know that as long as we have each other, we'll be okay, because we will. I want to complete you because you complete me, Olivia. I realized a long time ago that I can't live with you!"
"Niall," she started, shaking her head and frowning slightly again. "What are you saying?"
I reached for her hands and squeezed them hard in mine. I was completely drenched by then, but I didn't give a fuck. The rain kept falling on my face, sliding down my cheeks to reach my neck and soak me even more. But I pushed that thought away as I let go of one of her hands to dive one of mine in my pocket. I played with the ring with the tip of my fingers for a few seconds, making sure the small diamond was on top, and finally took it out. I felt her tense in front of me but got on one knee anyway, squeezing one of her hands again as I felt nervousness invade me.
"I should have done this a long time ago. I bought this ring in april, and I have no idea why it took me so long to do this. I wanted to find the right words, the right time, the right way. I just didn't realize that there was no right time, words or way. Because every moment is right. I could have asked at any moment and it would have been the right moment because you're the right person.
"Oh my... god." she whispered before swallowing hard. "Niall..."
"Liv, will you marry me?"
She stared at me and finally took a step closer. I held my breath when I realize she was now under the rain as it fell roughly and quickly on her. Her hair stuck to her cheeks and she looked down in my eyes, blinking a few times.
"Are these tears or is it just the rain?" I just asked, making her chuckle and shake her head.
"I love you so much, Niall James Horan!" she let out loud enough so I would hear her over the sound of the rain hitting the cement. "Of course I'll marry you! I've wanted to marry you since I was 6 years old!"
A wave of relief washed over me and I chuckled nervously as my whole body seemed to throb. I got up slowly, still holding her hand, and looked down at her as my lips curled into a fond smile. I really should have done that before, but they said 'better late than never', right?
"I'm in love with you." I whispered, touching her fingers to find the right one before sliding the ring on it without every looking away from her eyes. "Thank you so much."
"Don't thank me, I want to be your wife so bad, I can't even tell you how happy this makes me."
She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer. My eyes closed when I felt her lips against mine and suddenly, I realized that everything was perfect.
                                                      ---
OLIVIA
I kissed him deeply but slowly, feeling his wet shirt soak mine as he pulled me closer. I let the fingers of both my hands slip in his wet hair and pull on it gently, before two or three of my fingertips slid down to his nape, playing with the very bottom of his hair. It made him shiver against me and I whimpered low in his mouth.
"I'm so in love with you, Niall." I whispered, my lips still brushing against his.
My eyes fluttered open and I moved my hand a bit before moving my head back just to look at the ring on my finger. It seemed unreal and for half a second, I wondered if I was actually dreaming one of these very vivid and realistic dreams I had, sometimes. They used to happen so often after Niall broke up with me. Perhaps I was still just in one of those dreams where I'm happy and I get everything I've ever desired. The diamond shined a bit when I moved my hand because of the light from the living room and I felt myself tear up.
I stared at the only human I was ever in love with and swallowed hard. I focused on the locks of his hair sticking to his forehead and at how beautiful he looked. No one else had ever made me feel like he did, and the feelings inside me were so strong I started feeling them physically. Somehow, my hole body started throbbing and I felt my legs weaken at all the strong emotions reaching me.
I felt his palms press more on my back and bit my bottom lip before gripping the front of his shirt and pulling him inside roughly. My lips found his again and I kissed him a bit too hard, perhaps, pulling his shirt over his head before doing the same with mine so fast I almost tore it up. I felt his hands on my naked waist and realized I had been half naked the whole time.
His hands moved up on my chest and I felt his thumbs stop right under my breasts as we kissed. I wanted him so bad... I wanted him like it was our last time... or our very first time.
He pushed the door with one of his feet but it stayed half open as I undid his pants and pulled them down. We ended up laying on the floor in the lobby, his lips running all over me as fat as my hands traveled on his back, neck and in his hair. The moment he pushed himself inside me made my back arched and I moved my knees up, keeping my feet flat on the floor.
"I love you so much." he whispered, his lips pressing against my neck, near my jaw, before he pushed himself deeper inside me. "F-Fuck, you feel so good."
I tilted my chin up and closed my eyes, realizing that I could hear the rain pouring outside. From time to time, I even felt a few drops reach for my legs and it made me think that it was probably falling on Niall, too. I pushed my fingers in his back and my nails sunk in his skin as he thrust in and out of me slowly but deeply. I felt dizzy when an orgasm started building up in the pit of my stomach but I pressed my thighs on each side of him to hold him in place before moving on my elbows to kiss him harder.
I wanted to beg him not to move but I didn't have to. He stopped moving over me only to focus on the way he was kissing me, and I could feel my heart beat so hard and fast that I felt like I was about to cum anyway.
"Mm, Olivia, you're gonna be my wife yea?" he mumbled as we kissed. "I should have asked before but I was so scared you'd say no."
I felt my heart jump and twist in my chest at his confession and shut my eyes tighter. "I would have said 'yes' Niall." I whispered. "There's not a single moment you could have asked in this lifetime when my answer would have been 'no."
He stopped kissing me for a few seconds and finally rolled us around. I held my breath, a bit surprised, but ended up staddling him as his hands ran on my thighs gently. My lips were still very close to his and my hair was falling around us, hiding our faces like a curtain.
"I can't wait to be your wife, Niall."
His lips curled slightly in a fond smile. "I can't wait to cherish you, love you, and support you for the rest of my life." he added in a murmur. "Now ride me, petal."
My lips curled more and I chuckled before sitting up.I started riding him gently, staring down at him and biting my bottom lip. I could still see a few locks of his hair stuck on his forehead and the sight of him naked under me made my whole body quiver.
"This is what I want to see every single day for the rest of my life." he admitted in a whisper, letting one of his hands slide up until my breasts, running his palm on them and brushing his fingertips on my nipples. "That honeymoon is gonna be something else, petal."
I smiled more and bend down slightly, holding myself with my hands on his chest. "That honeymoon is gonna last until we die."
He smiled at me and nodded. "It will."
I started riding him again, harder and a bit faster this time, and when his hand reached between my legs to rub my clit, I started shaking over him. He groaned low, reaching for my thighs and grabbing them hard while he closed his eyes tight. We remained motionless for a few seconds, just panting with our eyes closed, but after a while, my eyes fluttered open and I sent him a fond smile.
"C'mere."
I lied down next to him on the floor, not even caring about how uncomfortable it was, and I moved my hand up to look at my ring again. It was unbelievable but I knew it was true. If someone had told me, when I was a kid, that I was going to marry Niall, I would have laughed. Heck, if someone had told me that a year ago, I wouldn't have believed it. Now, however, it just felt right. It felt like the accomplishment of a lifetime. It felt like the obvious outcome of my journey. It felt like the epic conclusion that was meant to happen.
"I bought this in Paris, when we were at your parents." he just said, making my heart skip a beat. How could his voice still make me melt after all this time? "I just woke up one day and I knew it was the right thing to do. It was so obvious to me I didn't even doubt it or question it. Not a fucking second."
I turned my head to look at him, noticing he was staring at the ring on my finger.
"You're the love of my life, we should already be married." he pointed out with a small shrug, making me laugh. It made him turn my way and he raised his eyebrows. "What?"
"I mean you? Niall Horan? Wanting to get married so soon?" I asked, the left corner of my lips raised up. "Who would have thought? I mean, you'll be the first one in your band to be married. Even before Louis... even before Liam! If you think about it, it's quite surprising isn't it?"
He stared at me for a few seconds, but his lips finally curled into a smile too and he chuckled. "Yea, maybe. i mean, if you weren't in my life, I'd probably be the last one to get married, you're right."
"So it's because of me?" I asked, raising my eyebrows and turning my body his way.
"Yea. I don't want to marry anyone else, and if you weren't in my life... I don't even know if I'd get married. Maybe in my late 30's? Or 40's? Who knows?"
We stared at each other for a minute or two in silence. I was coming up to the conclusion that soulmates were real, and I was lucky enough to have found mine. Even better, it seemed like I was his soulmate too, and nothing could be more perfect that that. I couldn't say I wouldn't have married anyone but him, especially since I was so close to marry an other man, but I could say that I would never be happy with anyone else the way I was happy with him. There was something about this relationship that I wouldn't be able to get though any other relationship. I never felt like that for anyone else in the world. No one could compare. No one was Niall James Horan, and he was the only one I wanted.
"This calls for champagne."
I chuckled and he got up before extending his hand to help me up too. I grabbed his shirt on the floor but grimaced at how wet it was. Instead, I grabbed all our clothes spread on the floor and brought it to the washing machine as he walked up to the kitchen completely naked. I grabbed a pair of boxers for him and one of his shirt for me and walked back to the living room, closing the door and locking it. It was still raining hard outside and I looked by the window for a short moment before finally joining him in the kitchen. He had picked a bottle of champagne and I smiled as I stared at him. He was there, standing completely naked in the kitchen, a bottle of champagne in hands, trying to open it, and I tilted my head. The sight was fucking incredible.
"I brought you boxers but I'm not sure I want to give them to you anymore."
He turned to me with a smirk and I couldn't help but let glance down at his dick. He chuckles and opened the bottle of champagne with a 'pop' before pouring some in two glasses.
"Clothing is optional tonight, my love." he let out, raising his eyebrows. "In fact, it's forbidden to wear any piece of clothing."
He handed me my glass and I pressed my lips together, taking it just as he snapped the shirt and boxers from my other hand. I held my breath as he threw them away and let out a short giggle. I was never at ease while being naked, especially around Niall because his opinion mattered to me more than anyone else's, but the way his eyes roamed on my naked form and sparkled as they got back into mine... that was something that didn't lie. So I didn't have the body I used to have, and I didn't have (and never did) the body of the girls he used to date and fuck... but apparently, it didn't matter to him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked in a low tone, licking my lips.
He cleared his throat and took his own glass before turning back to me again.
"You look at me too, darling." he pointed out, avoiding my eyes.
"I know but... I don't know, you were looking at me... in a special way."
This time, he looked out and our eyes met. He took a step closer and my lips parted slightly. Fuck, I loved him, I loved him so fucking much I could literally die.
"I can't believe how lucky I am." he admitted in a very low tone. "I'm gonna make love to you every single day for the rest of my life. I want to discover and remember every mole, every mark, every spot." I felt his free hand run on one of my breasts and slide down my stomach. "I want to learn the best ways to make you horny, to make you dizzy, to drive you crazy and to make you cum. I was looking at you because I find it scary how close I was to never get you back."
I stared at him, my mouth slightly open, as I let his words sink in. My eyes fluttered but I kept them open and he brought his fingers on my back, brushing his fingertips on my spine.
"And you say you're not good with words." I pointed out, tilting my head and making him chuckle again.
"I'm getting better at it, right?" he laughed, taking a step back. "You mad eme practice a lot, without really realizing it."
i rolled my eyes with a smile and shrugged as he brought his glass up. "To you and I, to this relationship that will last longer than a lifetime. To you, because you're perfect for me."
"To you too, because you're the only one I ever wanted."
I clinked my glass against his and swallowed everything, putting the glass back on the counter. He did the same and filled them up again.
"So, how are we gonna tell everyone?" I asked, bringing the now full glass to my lips again.
"We're not." he said, leaning his ass against the counter, taking a sip too and making me frown. "We're eloping. Prepare your stuff, we're leaving tomorrow."

Moved On
“Oh yeah. You’ve already met him and Im going to need my gi- my friend to help me stay calm because I know I’m not going to like him. So get dressed because you can't wear my clothes to her house.” He smirked and added, “even though you definitely pull off the look.” You rolled your eyes and groaned knowing very well you needed to go and help him through the evening for Gemma’s sake. He laughed knowing he won the argument. “I kind of like the friend card.” 
You didnt say anything just took off his shirt and tossed it to the floor. Friends? Really? Is that all we are? Do friends do that? What even was that? Why did I even let that happen? Questions flooded through your mind as you were fixing your hair. You had thrown on a pair of leggings and a hoodie, the hoodie Harry had given you because he accidentally shrunk it in the laundry and it no longer fit him. Harry had thrown on a t-shirt and found his pants but he was sitting on the edge of your bed thoughtfully watching you. “What?” you asked turning around to face him.
“Nothing...” he mumbled standing up. Harry had decided to gain an attitude on the way to Gemma’s and you were not a fan of it. 
The two of you walked up to Gemma’s door. You were standing slightly behind Harry, your heart racing fast. You were nervous and on top of that you were worried about what Gemma and Mical would think of you being there with Harry and not Tom. Would they be able to tell what just went on with Harry? Would they care? Would they figure it out and tell Tom? What would Tom say? Questions were overtaking your mind and Harry was looking at you concerned. “Sorry...did you say something?” you mumbled looking at back at him.
“I asked if you were ready...” Harry looked at the door and you nodded. He slowly knocked and Gemma answered the door almost immediately.
“Harry tell me how it takes you so long to get here. I called over 30 minutes ago...(y/n) lives 5 minutes away..there is absolutely no excuse.”
“I do have an excuse actually. (y/n) was the one taking forever to get ready.” Gemma looked at you, realizing you were actually there with him. 
She smiled and pulled you into a hug. “(y/n)! I’m so glad you're here! Is Tom here too?”
“N-” you were about to answer but Harry cut you off with an eye roll.
“No, why would he be here?”
“Well they are dating...I assumed he would be here too.” Harry shot you a look. You hadn't really had that conversation with him yet and you could tell he was now pissed hearing it from Gemma instead. 
“Well he’s not here.” Harry pushed past Gemma without another glance at you and made his way into the house. “Where’s this boy at Gemma. I want to get this over with.”
Gemma looked at you confused and you sighed walking in behind her. “He went to pick up a pizza for everyone..he should be back soon.”
“So then why were you on my ass about being late. He’s not even here”
“Well had you been here 25 minutes ago he would have been.”
“Well I wasnt here then and he's not here now there shouldn't be any judgement  on my arrival time if you expect me to-”
“Harry can I talk to you for a minute?” you interuppted not giving him a chance to answer. You pulled his arm and dragged him into the guest bedroom. “What’s the attitude for?”
“Why don't you ask your boyfriend? ” Harry snarled. You took a step back and looked at him. You had no idea what to say. He angrily laughed and turned to walk out.
“I was going to tell you. I-”
“Were you? When? When we were having sex? After? When we got to my sisters house? After you realized you had moved on”
“Okay Harry look- I was going to tell you, it just never came up. I didnt really move on and it’s not like we planned on having sex and Tom only asked me yesterday...I didnt even formally accept-”
“But you were planning on it?”
“Yes.” you squeaked out. He didnt even look just walked out, leaving you alone. Tears threatened at your eyes and you sat on the floor trying to calm yourself. Gemma cautiously walked in and knelt next to you.
“Feels like we've been here before.”
You laughed, shooting snot out of your nose as tears fell down your cheeks. She rubbed your back and you looked over. “I’m sorry I ruined your night.”
“You didn’t, if anyone other than Harry did it was me. I shouldn't have brought up Tom when you and Harry walked in with that look.”
“What look?”
She laughed and wiped a tear, “did you and Harry not have sex before coming here?”
Your face burned red and your mouth dropped. “Wha-”
“(y/n)” she laughed. “Harry was glowing. Literally more confident and happy than I have seen him in months. You were too. I mean you a little less than him but also I’m guessing you were feeling a little torn?”
You nodded and wiped your nose. “I did what Harry did to me...I cheated on Tom and and I didnt even regret it.”
Gemma nodded and smiled, “That’s because your heart has always belonged to Harry. It didnt feel like cheating right? It felt natural like it was supposed to be there.”
You nodded and thought about it. Harry was always the one. You could fake your feelings for Tom all you wanted but it never felt the way being with Harry did. You loved Tom like a brother. Harry was the one you wanted to have kids with. You never really connected the dots until now. You had been so mad at Harry for breaking your trust but you had never stopped loving him. You looked at Gemma. “What do I do?”
“I think the best thing is to let him calm down and then try explaining everything...”
You nodded and sadly smiled. “I’m going to go. I need to talk to Tom about everything anyways and I don't want to be the one ruining your evening while Harry tries to get to know Mical.”
“Sure you don't want to stay for the drama?”
You laughed, “I think I would cause more drama than watching it.”
She smiled, “Something tells me that may be the case right now.” You stood up and took a deep breath. 
“Thanks Gem, as always you know just what to say.” You hugged her before walking to the door. You opened it revealing a smiling Mical holding a large pizza. 
“(y/n) what a lovely surprise!” 
“Hi Mical!” you smiled warmly. Harry who was lounging on the couch had wandered into the door frame and was watching everything unfold.
“Are you leaving already?” Mical asked confused.
“Yeah, uh” you sniffled and gave a small smile. “I was actually on my way out to Tom’s.”
“Ah lovely! Would you care for a slice of pizza first?” 
“No- thank you though...I really should be leaving.” you stepped out the door and turned around looking at Gemma. “Thanks Gem.” you said with a nod.
“Anytime love, you know that.” Your eyes caught Harry’s one last time, they burning into yours as Gemma closed the door. You took a deep breath and jumped in the car.
You arrived at Tom’s late. You didnt even know if he was home or awake. You knocked on the door and his roommate opened with a surprised look. “(y/n).”
“Hey, sorry its late is Tom home?”
“Uh yeah come on in, Tom!” he yelled. Tom came walking down the stairs with a smile.
“(y/n)!” he hugged you tightly and smiled. “What are you doing here?”
“I just wanted to talk to you..” you had tears in your eyes and Tom’s expression changed.
“Are you okay?” he asked ushering you to the couch. “Do you want me to make tea?”
“No-no. Thats okay really I’m okay.” you sat down and wiped your eyes. “I uh I just wanted to say- to say I’m sorry.”
“Sorry? What for?”
“Tom, youre so amazing. Youre talented, nice, caring, and not bad to look at either..” you laughed and looked into his eyes. “But-”
“But I’m not Harry Styles.” he finished. You looked surprised. You looked at him and slowly nodded slightly confused. He sighed and looked at you sadly. “I kinda guessed that was coming..you react so much differently to him than to me. I mean tonight when he got here the whole mood shifted. Youre almost like drawn to him. I’ve never seen it before. I wish it was you and I but a part of me knew I could never replace that, and that's okay..”
You were crying now. He was rubbing your back. “I’m sorry Tom. I really do love you its just- its not the same with Harry. I wish you were the one I had these feelings for. It would make everything so much easier.”
“Love is never easy.” he joked.
You nodded and he hugged you tightly. “(y/n) you need to tell Harry how you feel. You need to explain it. You also can tell him if he hurts you again, he will have to deal with me, your neighborhood SpiderMan.” 
You laughed. “We can still be friends right?” He grinned and held your hand.
“Of course, we still have to finish the SpiderMan movies.”
You hugged him and stood up. “Thank you. You really are amazing Tom. Youre going to make a girl really happy.”
“I hope so, maybe when I have more time.” 
He walked you to the door and kissed your cheek. “Bye Tom.”
“Bye (y/n). Good luck, and tell him how you feel.”
“I will...eventually.” He smiled one more time before closing the door.
You took a deep breath. That went way better than you had expected. You decided to go home. After showering and changing clothes you climbed into bed. You wanted to call Harry, but you didnt want to interrupt his evening with Gemma and Mical. You opened a text to him and attempted a few different things before throwing your phone at the foot of the bed. You decided it was better to let him cool off all together so you turned on Netflix and started watching Outerbanks. Before you knew it you were sucked in, watching almost 3 episodes in a row. You heard a noise downstairs at your door and froze hoping you had locked the door. What if someone was looking to kill you because you had your dads compass... Ridiculous, yes but the thought crossed your mind. Eventually the noise went away but you still grabbed your phone in case you needed to call 911 at some point in the night. You decided you had enough murder mystery for the night and turned off the tv, leaving only the light of your phone in the dark. Harry was still on your mind. You wanted him to not be mad at you for so long. You wanted to tell him everything. You decided against your earlier judgement and texted him. *Are you still mad at me*
You turned off the phone and waited, your heart pounding. Every two seconds you checked for an answer, disappointed there wasnt one. You watched the read receipt come on and got anxious for the response you saw he was typing. But then the text bubbles disappeared. You waited another minute for the text but soon realized he was ignoring you. Your heart dropped into your stomach and you turned off the phone. Clearly he was still mad at you. You had drifted into an uncomfortable sleep, tossing and turning all night.
 In the morning you woke up feeling exhausted. You turned and opened your eyes, surprised to find Harry sleeping in the chair across from you. You jumped a little bit and your heart actually felt like it had stopped.”Harry?” you mumbled, sleep still in your voice.
He shifted, opening his eyes and brushing the hair back form his face. He looked at you, his face red.
“What are you doing? How did you-”
“You left your door unlocked.” you could hear the sleep in his voice, it made it 10x deeper. “I needed to see you, to talk to you...but you were sleeping and you looked so sweet I just couldn't wake you.”
“Harry-”
“No, stop.” He stood up and walked over, sitting on the bed next to you. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for overreacting last night. I’m sorry for taking my frustration out on you. Thats not how a friend treats another friend and we aren't anything more than friends so I had no place to talk.”
“No, Harry.”
“(y/n) just accept my apology. I don't want to lose you...you're a- you're a great friend.” He swallowed and looked at you. You sat up, running your finger over his cheek.
“I love you.” he leaned into your hand and smiled.
“So you still want to be friends?”
“No.” you looked at him and his head fell with a sad expression.
“I understand.” He stood up and began walking you. You realized what he was thinking. You jumped out of bed and ran to him, pulling his wrist towards you.
“Harry. I don't want to be your friend because I want us back.” He stopped, slowly turning to face you.
“You want us back?”
“Yes. I want you and me. I want us to go back to how things were before. I want to love you the way I did before. I want to kiss you whenever I have the chance. I want us to be forever.”
Harry didn't even say anything, he just smiled and kissed you. You reached your arms up around his neck and he lifted you up. Your lips never left his and he grinned whispering, “I love you.”
“I love you.” you kissed him back, drowning in the feeling of his love.
“So Tom?”
“Is out of the picture.” 
“And us?”
“We are whatever you want us to be.”
“I want us to get married.” you stopped and looked at him. His green eyes were twinkling.
“What?”
“I want us to get married.”
You smiled and kissed him again. “Okay.” All of your conflicted feelings had disappeared and a feeling of content had replaced them. You knew Harry would always be the one and there was nothing more you wanted than to spend the rest of your life with him. You knew your feelings would never fade. That much had been proved in the last few months.
He smiled, kissing you again. “Okay.”

The ending to the Cheating Series! Hope you enjoy! xoxo

(ok so i decided to make a separate post for this don’t mind me)
Hello friends!! okay so i made sure that I would finish this fic in time for Simon’s Birthday. (I think this is the fluffiest thing I have written)
ANYWAYS happy birthday Simon snow my favourite dragon-butter boy I love you and thank u rainbow for giving us this beautiful character 🤝🥰.
For those who would prefer to read it here, u can read under this :)
Baz’s POV
Rainy Saturday nights are the absolute best. 
Simon and I both agreed to designate saturday nights as our date nights, where we snuggle together in our living room to watch movies, eat scones and trade kisses in the dark.
Once in a while Bunce joins us as well, but only if we agree to keep things PG. But tonight, she has an important company dinner to attend, which means that we both have the whole house to ourselves. (“Behave you two, and don’t have too much fun,” she winked at us suggestively before she left.)
Today it was Simon’s turn to choose the movies, and knowing his love for fantasy movies, I knew I was in for a treat tonight. The sound of pelting rain against our windows, along with the freezing cold temperature set the mood perfectly. Both of us were huddled close together in thick blankets, our limbs entangled together as we tried to keep ourselves warm and cosy.  
“Baz, how would you feel about watching the Narnia movies? I’ve never gotten the chance to see any of them before,” Simon asked as he scrolled through Netflix on our tv, casually resting his head on my shoulder as he did so. 
I sat up and turned towards him, horrified. “You’ve never watched any of them before?”
Simon gave me a shy smile. “I don’t know, I guess it never really appealed to me when I was younger.“
I shook my head in utter disbelief. “ You are unbelievable Snow. Okay, that just means that now we HAVE to watch all of them today. You will finally find out how much you have been missing out.”
Simon flashed me a soft grin as he took a big bite out of his sour cherry scone. “Well, i’m up for it if you are,” he whispered in my ear as he shifted closer to me on the couch and pressed the play button.
———-
One of my sharpest memories of my childhood was of me watching the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with my mother when I was a tiny child.  I remember the magical aura of the whole movie, the enchanting music that seemed to suck me right into the fantasy world of narnia. I remember my wide eyed wonder at every thrilling scene, my heart pounding loudly as I sat at the edge of my seat to await what would happen next.
That was the exact emotion that I could see plastered on Simon’s face. He was transfixed with the movie as though nothing else was in the room but him and the tv screen. (I would be mad at him for not paying much attention to me if it weren’t so god damn adorable).
When we reached the scene where Lucy first wandered into Narnia by stumbling into the wardrobe, Simon stilled, his eyes following every single movement in the scene as though he was trying to figure out exactly how Lucy managed to find Narnia. 
At this point of time, I wasn’t even paying attention to the movie anymore. Every atom in my body was now focused on seeing Simon’s adorable bursts of reaction from the corner of my eye every time something exciting happens.
By the time Aslan finally came on-screen, Simon squeezed my hands as he whisper-shouted in my ear, “He’s here, he’s finally here!!” I rolled my eyes at his eagerness, yet I couldn’t resist smiling at that.
Throughout the rest of the movie, I constantly snuck peaks at Simon every now and then. It was remarkable how he was able to cry, laugh, smile, and then cry again in just a matter of minutes. 
Watching Simon & his enthusiasm made me realise the one thing that I absolutely love about him: Simon snow is so fucking alive. 
As the end credits rolled, the storm outside had calmed down to a mild drizzle, though it did nothing to lower down the temperature. The plate of scones I made for simon lay on the coffee table, cold and untouched. Simon must have been so engrossed with the movie to the point that he completely forgot about them, which was an extremely rare occurrence.
Nestled cosily in my blanket, I turned to face him. “So, how was it?”, I asked, pretending as though i didn’t just spend half the movie gazing at him & his not-so-subtle reactions.
He was gawking at the screen with his mouth wide open and his eyes glistening with tears, as though he could not quite comprehend that it was over. 
“ I-I-I it was absolutely beautiful!!”, he buried his face in my shoulder and let out a sob, drenching my blanket as he sobbed his eyes out. “How could I have never watched this before?”
God, what a dramatic cutie.
Forcing myself not to chuckle, I opened my mouth to tell him that there was more to come. But before I could do that, Simon stood up hastily and wiped his tears on the palm of his hands . I almost thought I could see a glint of determination in his blue eyes.
Smiling at me sweetly, he said, “Babe give me a minute, I need to use the bathroom before we continue”. 
Yet again, he amazes me with how fast his emotions shift.
Thinking nothing of this, I nodded and sank back into the coziness of my blankets, wrapping them tightly around my body as I mindlessly scrolled through Netflix while waiting for him to return.
10 minutes later, Simon still hadn’t returned. 
 “Simon, love, are you still in the bathroom?” I yelled in the direction of where our bathroom was. 
No answer.
Getting increasingly worried by the second, I rushed to the bathroom fearing something bad had happened to him. Many different worrying scenarios popped into my brain. Did he slip and hit his head?? Did he fall into the toilet bowl? Or worse…. Did he get kidnapped by numpties???
As I passed by our bedroom on the way to the bathroom, something made me stop short in my steps.
THUMP THUMP THUMP  *scream*
It was coming from the…. Wardrobe?
Oh no. oh god. It couldn’t be - 
He wouldn’t have done that… would he?
I sprinted to the wardrobe to open it and true enough, Simon was kneeling on the floor of the wardrobe, his face stricken with panic and a tiny bit of embarrassment as he looked up at me. His knuckles were a little bruised from frantically pounding on the door and his cheeks were stained with tear-streaks as he slowly tried to compose himself.
I couldn’t help it. Despite the situation, I burst out laughing, clutching my stomach as I heaved with laughter.
“W-wh Baz are you laughing at me?”
“Fuck im so sorry love,” I took a moment to catch my breath, “but did you just try to walk through our wardrobe to find Narnia?”
Simon looked down bashfully, very obviously avoiding my eyes. “Well I HAD to try!”
“God damn it Simon, you are so fucking adorable,” I chuckled as I swooped down and carried him out of the wardrobe like a baby. He looped his arms around my neck and buried his face in my neck, instantly relaxing in my arms as I slowly carried him back to the living room.
Seeing Simon in such a vulnerable position warmed my heart, and I could not resist leaning forward and pressing a warm kiss on the top of Simon’s head. He signed warmly in response, and whispered a tiny “I love you” to me as he tightened his grip on me. 
“Come on love,” I whispered softly in his ear, “Let’s carry on our Narnia marathon.”

Ok, this is an interesting one lol I mean no, it’s not “okay” - since it usually constitutes lying/hiding/hurting someone - BUTTTT, for a lack of a better term - I wanna say it’s “normal”? But thats because I, personally, am on the fence about the concept of monogamy. Like no, I’ve never cheated nor experienced that in return - but the whole concept of monogamy and like that a person can love and only love or be with one person is WILLLLDDD and I can’t help but note that its a social construct that we, as a society, are conditioned to from the time we are born. Idk if that makes sense bc im high af lol but those are my thoughts…like to sum it up - cheating is fucked up and sucks, but at the same time its not all that surprising/shocking anymore, like borderline “normalized” just as divorces are and shit, so I feel like bc biologically we aren’t made to be with one person lol. I don’t condone it tho. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

Cancer, with my lil moody, sensitive ass
130. Do you like subway?
I did lol
131. Your bestfriend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?
Story of my mf life lol literally all my exes are “best friends turned lovers” situation, so guess it would just depend lmao
132. Who’s the last person you had a deep conversation with?
133. Favourite lyrics right now?
Lol oh godddd; ok off the top of my head - Tupac - Keep Ya Head Up is what comes to mind; just a timeless song and the lyrics are still relevant/apply to this day and idk just really resonate with the message behind that song <3
135. Dumbest lie you ever told?
Idk, but it was probably SO dumb, and told to my parents lol
136. Do you sleep with your doors open or closed?
Either or, lately open so my cat can go in and out lol
137. How tall are you?
5’6 mayyybeee 5’5 actually lol
140. Summer or Winter?
Fall!!
141. Night or Day?

142. Favourite month?
April and October for weather at least
143. Are you a vegetarian?
No but I try, and go through phases, I’m definitely mindful the older I get and more focused on my health I become

ILY2 🥺Slut rights for Nate but mean Nate deserves rights too. (Also this is long, I am so sorry)
~~
“Y/N?” Duncan asked moving from the kitchen towards her. He could see in her eyes that something was on her mind, “come here.“ Duncan sat himself on the couch as gently as he could, still wincing as he made contact. He felt better than the day before, but it would be a while until he felt like himself again. Patting the seat adjacent as an invitation, “What are you thinking about?” “It’s nothing. I’ll be okay, I 
am
 okay,” she insisted as she sat down. Y/N didn’t want Duncan to be upset if he knew she called Nate. He’d been in such a good mood today, even though his body was hurting, his spirits were up.   “You only have that look when you’re about to vomit or something went wrong and I don’t think you’d sit here if you were about to do the first.”  “I called Nate,” Y/N sighed, scanning Duncan’s face for any sign of discomfort or jealousy, but there weren’t any. “I wanted to make sure he was okay after yesterday, but he hung up on me.” She sniffed back a tear and rested her head in Duncan’s lap, “I messed up and now he won’t even talk to me.”  “He’s still your friend, just give him a few days.” Duncan said as he massaged her scalp. “You said you’d give him space if he needed it, let him have that.” Last night was the first time he’d gotten to spend the night with Y/N in months. Even though the circumstances weren’t ideal, it brought his mood up to a place his insecurities couldn’t reach. It didn’t matter to Duncan if she’d slept with Nate a few times while he was gone, she chose to be with him. 
After a quickie with.. whatever her name was, she left, and Nate was alone.. again. How did he always end up alone? There was a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach, he figured it was just a hangover plus it was past noon and he hadn’t eaten yet. But as soon as he opened the fridge he lost his appetite. Y/N made him lunch while he was out yesterday as an apology for sleeping over, at least that’s what the sticky note on top said. Nate ripped it up in frustration, he didn’t want to think about her, about yesterday, about her call this morning. Grabbing a sleeve of crackers from the pantry he headed for the couch.  “Come on Maximus, let go watch some tv,” at least he always had Maxie, that was one thing that wouldn’t change.  Of course when he opened Netflix the first thing to show up was the movie he’d watched with Y/N, it was like he couldn’t escape her. Everywhere he turned there was another reminder of their time together.  Frustrated, Nate grabbed a box and went around taking every trinket from their trips, framed picture of them, anything that could spark a memory, and shoved them inside out of sight. The only thing he couldnt seem to get rid of was the jar of notes she’d given him for his birthday. “For when you need a little pixiedust :)💜,” Nate shoved that one under his bed so it was out of reach. Everything else went in the box, he wasn’t sure what to do with it, but he felt a bit better. Flopping down on the couch with Maximus, Nate turned to look at him.   “At least you love me. I’ll always be your first choice, right?” Maxie took the question as an invitation to lay on top of Nate and lick his face until he was laughing and his hair was standing up in all directions.  — It had been a few days and neither Duncan nor Y/N had heard anything from Nate. Hoping he would at least hear out an apology, Duncan went to his house that evening.  When Nate opened the door to see Duncan there, the sliver of a good mood that he had had, dissipated. “What do you want, Shepherd?” Even though Duncan had practiced this tens of times by himself it was much more nerve wracking when Nate was glaring at him like that.  “I.. I just wanted to say I’m sorry for Saturday,” he was talking so quickly that he stumbled over the words. “I shouldn’t have come at you like that. I miss you bro, I just want to be your friend again.”  Duncan took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing, “I know I made a stupid mistake, I just felt like you were hiding something from me and I went for the worst case scenario. But I know you two hooked up before we started dating, Y/N told me, I’m okay with it. Please say something, Nate?” Nate left Duncan floundering in the doorway as he went to grab the box of Y/N’s things, at least now he knew what to do with them.  “Here, give this to Y/N.”  Duncan looked confused but accepted the package, “so? Are we cool, or…?” “Or.” Nate didn’t want to see Duncan anymore either, all it did was remind him of her. Seeing them walk around campus holding hands, laughing together, doing everything Nate wished he could? Was just too much. “Can’t you two just leave me alone for once? I don’t even understand why 
you’d
 want me around now that you know.“ Duncan was upset, he didn’t understand why Nate was being so difficult, unless he thought this would happen again. “Look man, I’m not mad that you hooked up a few times. It happened ages ago, I get it, but we weren’t together and she said it didn’t mean anything. You’re her best friend, she misses you. If you’re still upset with me, I get it, but at least talk to Y/N, she didn’t do anything wrong.” “I don’t know how to make it any clearer than this: I don’t want to talk to either of you. Id be fine if I never had  to see her ever again. And just so 
you
 know, she’s lying.”  Nate knew the chances of something more coming out of those months were slim. But to hear that it didn’t mean 
anything
��to her broke his heart more than it already was.  “The last time we hooked up wasn’t ‘ages ago.’ Whatever day you asked her out, that was it and it wasn’t some one off event, Duncan. I’ve been inside Y/N more times in the last month than you have in a year. Now can you leave me the fuck alone?” He left Duncan on the porch in shock slamming the door on his way in. Maybe now he could finally get some peace. 
--
hi i am the worst im so sorry!!! its been taking me longer to update :(
--
Duncan stood silent, looking into the box of memories Y/N had made with Nate while he was wasn’t there. 
He tried to replay what Y/N had said to him - she never told him they had hooked up that day. 
Was that why she was so angry at me when I tried to ask her out? Why she kept trying to push me away?
He couldn’t afford to get lost in those thoughts. Not again. 
What mattered was that he was with her now. 
Duncan wanted to say he didn’t know this side of Nate - but that was a lie. He was acting like the same jerk Duncan believed him to be when he first saw him cheating on Y/N. 
With a heavy sigh, he went back to his car, hiding the box in his trunk before going to meet Y/N at her house. 
Duncan hoped he could be enough for her. Enough that she wouldn’t keep seeking Nate out - especially if he didn’t want them around. 
Some friend... 
--
‘It didn’t mean anything’
Each time Nate hooked up with Y/N, he told himself not to expect anything else from it - he was so good at keeping boundaries. 
At least with every other friend with benefits - the difference being he had fallen for Y/N before that. 
He couldn’t help but feel hope. Nate knew how she felt about Duncan - hell, he was the reason Duncan and her were together. 
He knew all of this. He’s a smart man. Too smart for his own good sometimes. Which is why he kept trying to rationalize feelings for things he knew. 
He wasn’t Duncan - he didn’t get all the free passes Duncan got when he fucked up. Which was quite a bit, Nate thought bitterly. 
He didn’t want to care. 
It didn’t mean anything to her, but it did to him. Even if it didn’t give him hope that they would be together - she was his best friend. Didn’t that count for anything. 
But he supposed Y/N didn’t need a friend anymore now that Duncan didn’t let her have that. 
For god's sake, Duncan lashes out of her, punches him - and just like that, she still chose him. 
--
As soon as Duncan arrived at Y/N’s house, she pecked his cheek welcoming him in. 
“Hey, you okay?” she scanned his face in search of an answer. 
“Yup,” 
“Duncan...” she knew him too well, knew something was off. 
He opened his mouth to confront her. Duncan wanted to ask why she didn’t tell him the full story about her and Nate. But as he stood there, in her house, with her soft hands reaching for his, and her worried eyes that looked at him with nothing but love...
He realized it wasn’t worth it. 
He was finally on the path to having things be good between him and Y/N. He wasn’t going to let Nate ruin that. 
“I’m fine.” he pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her cheek. 
“What are you cooking? Smells amazing!” he tried to divert her attention. 
“Thanks! I was thinking... if you’re okay with it. I’d like to invite Nate over for lunch too. I think it’s been enough time and I haven’t really heard from him.” She remembered the last phone call she had with him and frowned. 
Duncan froze. 
“Duncan? If you’re not-”
“I’ll call him,” Duncan replied quickly. “Why don’t you finish things up and I’ll give him a call?” 
“You’re the best.” she kissed him and left him alone in the living room. 
Fuck, Duncan thought.

“i am gonna need to rewatch this scene in the tavern 10 times over...”
I for one, am ok with them making Geralt and dandelion have more scenes in which they bond/learn about each other, instead of him just being there for comic relief �� pls god I’m begging
god im begging too. i think dandelion takes on this role moreso in the later short stories and in the saga where he serves to counter and question geralt, and if they begin this dynamic sooner i’m all for it. it’s satisfying to see geralt get the truth told to his face. i see dandelion as always presenting the question, “well, what if [x]?” “but [y] is also possible.” 
it’s refreshing because geralt is, ahem, as cavill said, “basically universally hated,” and he’s just internalized all of this hate to hate himself, even if he won’t admit it... so we need someone who loves himself too much to help geralt work through it lol...
from the scene in the character profile video for geralt where dandelion says like “white hair... two very scary swords,” i think @ johix was right that it’s intended to be gulet, or at least their place of first meeting (if the netflix series cuts details out/changes how they met). 
these are my predictions for their conversation (and i guess also how i headcanon it, but based off of what we saw in the preview):
dandelion gives a bubbly greeting, remember at this point contextually he’s also trying to secure protection in the form of a bodyguard so he’s very suck up-y.
geralt is not very amused... he’s not mad or bothered, but just put off and a little offended because he assumes dandelion (like every other living being on the continent and destiny itself) is mocking him. geralt’s stupid sensitive like this. so he tries to shut him up by being intimidating, so he asks him some wonderfully conversational question like “what do you see when you look at me” sort of trying to coax him into answering ‘uhh tall scary pale mutant?’
this is where we get the observation, “white hair... two very, scary swords” which i imagine geralt responds to with something to the effect of “exactly. so why are you still talking to me?”
i think the dandelion thing to do here would be to blather senselessly in words of praise (remember they are unfamiliar with each other at this point) and this is when geralt gets up from his seat, takes his coin, and leaves the table, leaving dandelion behind faltering and hesitating.
i think at this point dandelion might just get fed up and take geralt to task a little bit for being rude as hell and this spurs another argument-conversation, at the end of which geralt is proven wrong or cannot answer due to dandelion winning in a battle of wits and hypotheticals. (maybe scolding geralt about how he is being a self-fulfilling prophecy by being so prickly, that of course people are going to fear him if he doesn’t let them in? literally making this part up so idk)
geralt is more neutral now that dandelion’s proven himself to not be an idiot (hm... debatable) or someone with ill intentions, so geralt just accepts his company for a while.
unfortunately i highly doubt any kind of hand-holding or carrying or intimate conversations that we got from zebrowski and zamachowski in 2002 😔 i dont necessarily think the netflix series will no homo them as it were but i think they just are gonna hammer home that geralt can be an icy son of a bitch and dandelion lives with his head in the clouds and sees the good and the poetic in everything.
what i would LIKE to see but idk if we are going to get is a more complex idea of their characters... geralt is patient, thoughtful, careful. he has a wonderful capacity for dealing with the vulnerable. dandelion is by no means perfect... man is, as geralt put it, a cynic, a lecher, a womanizer, and a liar. 
my biggest concern is them just trivializing dandelion as Annoying Friend because he has the potential to be quite so... he’s supposed to get on geralt’s nerves, but if the audience doesn’t understand that geralt feels such kindness towards him and also that geralt is usually in the wrong, there’s a high chance that dandelion will just come off plain wrong as a character lol

The Game of life
It’s a new year of 2012, In a small city of Metro Manila, there used to be two friends whose both in a 8 years of age, and they lived on the same street. Their name is Alice and Bianca. Alice came from a rich family, she loves joining pageant because of her Miss universe beauty. Alice is miracle and blessings from above, because her parents were dreaming to have their daughter ever since, Alice is the only one daughter of Fernand and Rose. Bianca is the youngest between of her three siblings. She’s a nerdy type of person who’s dreaming high to get her family up to the better life. Alice and Bianca became a real and true Best-friend by the chance, their friendship has grown stronger day by day by their choice. They started doing all the things together like playing, eating, sleeping, roaming, sharing some secrets about each other and known all things about their family in every details, started to discover their similarities and one of those are having the same birth date and loves to listening music but their voices aren’t cooperating. They treat each other as sisters by heart. Whatever problems or struggles they are facing it together by helping each others, as they grow older. Many birthdays have passed and they are still together. Now they are both turning into a legal age, Alice and Bianca’s birthday are coming.. as one of the very special day and event in their life will happen, Alice father (fernand) gave her a car as a gift. While on Bianca’s birthday is just a simple celebration with her family circle and receives no material things at all but make her feel loved is enough for her. Bianca is just a simple and contented with the kind of life she has, and she’s also a smart/brilliant person in her family.
“RINGGGGGGGGG” as the bell ring inside the campus. Alice and Bianca are now both college in the same university. Alice is a paying student in the University of Sto. Thomas while Bianca used to apply a scholarship ever since, for the sake of their friendship cause they don’t want to be in a separate or different school. And guess what, they also got the same course of Engineer. They really both love and protect their friendship that’s why they won’t let anyone destroy it. Days have passed and “Hey Im James...” James is one of their classmates, he is good at playing basketball and also loves to play with every girls heart, many women have cried for him. He’s also one of the heartthrob in the campus. “I like Alice” james pov to his friends. His friends tries james capabilities when it comes to courting a girls, so.. they made a deal between James and Alice. Ever since, james can easily make the girls fell in love with him but Alice is different from them. James were really challenged to get Alice’s attention and make her fell in love despite of his being heartthrob in the campus. Alice is a No boyfriend since birth. Lot of boys have confessed that they liked Alice but she didn’t entertain anymore. James has it own strategy, he asks Bianca about Alice cause she knows that they were really a good friend. James did everything what Alice’s likes, But suddenly Alice heart melted the way james treated her as a princess and made her feel like she’s the only one beautiful girl in the universe. James really fell in love with Alice, it was his first time to feel the seriousness when it comes to love and he didn’t want to break Alice’s heart in anyway, so alice decided if james were really serious about her, she want james to met fernand and rose first as a sign of respect before they turn into a lovers. So james went to their home and dressed well to grant what Alice’s wants. It’s going to be happen tonight, James got really nervous cause he haven’t experienced it before, after all those relationships he have done. Despite of that Alice make sure that james will feel comfortable with her parents cause she knows how to tickle them, at that night james success for the first meet with Alice’s family. Fernand and rose are not that strict when it comes to what Alice’s likes and wants, because they really want to give alice everything as long they can.
It’s Weekend today, Alice is at home together with Bianca, they are Inside the very cold room of Alice. They are watching Netflix and chillin’ with a lot of foods. While fernand and rose are inside their room talking about something big problem that fernand keeps on bugging him every night. Meanwhile, Bianca wanna go to the restroom, while walking she suddenly stopped because she heard fernand and rose are shouting inside their room. She slowly up close to the door which is the screams came out. Bianca heard everything about Alice, on their conversation fernand wants to let Alice know that she was just adopted started when she was a baby since now she’s on the legal age, but Rose is not ready to tell her the truth cause she don’t want to break Alice’s heart by hiding the real personality of her since she was a little. Bianca was really shocked with everything she heard, and she went back to Alice’s room and thinking as deep as the ocean. Alice asks her “what happened outside?” And then she said “no nothing” and then they continue watching movie until Bianca didn’t notice that she fell asleep in Alice’s room.
The next morning, It’s Monday today and Alice woke up to get ready for their class which will starts at 10am, At the dining area Fernand, Rose and Alice are eating breakfast while Bianca was just woke up and getting ready also to join them eating breakfast in the ground floor area, and she still can’t believe about what she heard last night. She can’t help herself to be not too obvious with Alice cause she is not comfortable when she has a secret without knowing of her best friend Alice. Days have passed and Alice notices that Bianca is being weird since that night. Alice were really confused with Bianca, she started to doubts with her answers every time she’s being asked. Alice started to get mad with Bianca, though she really valued their friendship since day 1. But she don’t want it to came it out from her own mouth, instead of being on a high tempered, they rather give each others time to distance and refreshed each other’s mind. Bianca were really thinking about the big secrets revelation because she don’t want to be included in their family problem.
While Alice is with James are together chilling, Because of what happened to her with Bianca. The day has come when fernand fully decided to tell her daughter Alice that she was just adopted and her real parents was a true best friend of her daddy fernand which is died because of the car accident. Alice didn’t believe her dad and wants to tell her that everything was just a prank. But no, Rose cleared and explained everything for Alice that they needed to adopt a child cause they cannot have both a baby, and Alice was the big blessing for them, when the car accident happened to her real family, they decided to adopt Alice since her parents were really a good friend of them, Alice were treated as the princess of the family and love her as much as her real parents could give.
On that night, Alice wants to be alone and asks above ‘why?’ while crying and crying and crying. She can’t accept the fact about her and she drink a lot of alcohol and when she get drunk she suddenly dialed her boyfriend James. James shocked and get panic about her girlfriend cause she was just crying on the phone all the time, and then james asks Alice on where she is, to help her by comforting and calm her down. James went on the location where Alice is at. Alice hug james and crying again and she started to share her story. But instead of going with the emotion, James gave her advices and lessons on how to handle that situation she’s facing right now, though he didn’t experience that kind of situation. James started to share also a lot of stories to Alice. Drama, romantic and comedy which helps alice to forget those heartache for a while. Alice is driving in her car on the way on their home together with james.
On their street, Bianca is wondering why is the car of Alice weren’t around their home parking. Because of the curiosity Bianca knocks on their home and asks Fernand and Rose why is she’s not around at this time, in the middle of the night. And then Bianca discover that Alice have already known about her true personality. In the next morning, Bianca came at their school early waiting for her best friend Alice to come. Because she really misses her friend after the long time of break, but Alice didn’t come into school, Bianca was about to ask james if he knows where is she but, they are both absent.

I don’t want to make a whole thing about how mad I am about season 7. I really don’t. There were some GREAT moments and overall I’m really happy with how the general plot has turned out. But holy shit. Something has to be said.
I’m gonna start with the easy one to tackle. Adashi. We were fucking told that we were gonna get endgame LGBT+ representation. We were shown this character as a canon gay man and they made a HUGE deal over it, saying, “hey we have a queer character for you, you will enjoy it.” And while I’ve been preaching that we already knew that they broke up and we weren’t guaranteed anything except flashbacks. I was expecting something a little more obviously queer. I mean for fucks sake, any random person watching MIGHT be able to guess that they’re dating. But not really. Even me, thought that the ONE scene we were given was a stretch. For all anyone knows, they could be just best friends or something. Like with their dynamic, if I was not specifically told they were a couple, I would never have even put two and two together and just assumed it was his best friend. Even with the scene where shiro is mourning Adam’s death, it just seems like they knew each other well and were close. There was literally nothing pointing to the fact that they were fiancées in the show, and just saying it doesn’t make it true. To me, this is just an insult. You can’t tell me you’re giving me a queer character, and then only make him queer if I happen to follow panels and discourse, etc. I respect the writers on most things, and I’m the first to defend them on most issues, but HOW DARE THEY queerbait like that. If you’re going to commit to having a character be queer then make them queer to anyone watching. You don’t need a whole coming out scene, you don’t need rainbow flags and a whole episode focusing on it, there are ways to make a character more obviously queer than just stating it outside of the show’s actual footage. I’m actually offended by this, and that’s not an easy thing to make me.
The other thing I want to talk about it Klance. Look, we were never guaranteed Klance. We were never told specifically, you are going to get Klance. We were never told that Lance or Keith individually is queer in any way. So we were owed nothing in that department. That being said, the way that Netflix has been marketing the show using Klance is obvious queerbaiting and that’s not okay. I’m not going to go into that though. We’ve always known that Netflix has some issues doing that. My real problem isn’t even with Klance as a ship. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I will respect whatever ship becomes canon, straight or not, klance or not. If it happens in canon, then that’s what’s canon. Period. That being said. The ships that are obviously coming to the forefront are just written so badly. And I was expecting there to be well-written romantic subplots because, fuck, they write just about everything else fairly well. They even wrote the Lotura mess well. Like it made sense for Allura to fall for Lotor. Even when I was yelling at her to get out because I didn’t trust him, there was a part of me that wanted to because even I fell for his tricks as a viewer. But this is just stupid. Like I’m not even gonna complain about forced heterosexuality, because like I said, we were never guaranteed anything. What this is, though, is forced romance. Like, point blank, there is no substance in any of these. And I’m not saying that I don’t ship it so it shouldn’t be. Im totally down for both of these to be canon, I can see both happening legitimately. But shit. Write it well for fucks sake. With Lance and Allura, I can see where that’s coming from. Lance has like Allura from day 1. It makes sense that she’d eventually like him back. But why? Where was the turning point? When was the moment she realized “oh hey I kinda like Lance”? There’s no substance to it. There’s nothing and then all of sudden she’s telling him to be careful and blushing? It doesn’t make sense. She hated all of his advanced up to this point. And then what happened? Someone became miniature and crawled into her body and flipped a switch or something? Like what the fuck? You have to make me want it more. And then with Keith and Acxa, I’m even more here for this ship. I can really see where it’s coming from. The whole “a life for a life” thing they had going on way back when. Makes sense. And I love her arc of becoming good, and I love that Keith goes back to save her again. And I love that. But all of a sudden there’s hints that she likes him? Not obvious ones the way Allura and Lance have been portrayed. With no other substance than “that’s the paladin she refuses to kill.” I want this to happen. Like yes, I ship klance, but if we’re not going to get klance, then I’m more than happy to give up that for this ship. It’s a great ship. But develop it more. Develop both of them more. Don’t leave me sitting here like “I don’t understand.” Make me understand, make me want these relationships, make me root for them, make me feel what they feel. Because right now there’s a disconnect. I’m not seeing where allura is coming from, I can’t connect to what she’s feeling because it doesn’t fully make sense. I’m not seeing where acxa is because she’s there for the once episode, and then the moment where she’s stalking him at his grave, and that’s it. I have more hope for keithxacxa because I see there being a chance to develop it more and there’s still room to explain it better. With allurance, I feel like I’ve just been given a bad excuse. There’s not really room to explain why she all of a sudden feels this way, and it’s already too obvious to turn back. So we’re left with an empty shell of what could’ve been a great romance. It died even before it had a chance to breathe.
I’m short, I’m kinda pissed off. Season 7 was AMAZING, absolutely stunning, and I loved it so much. But for fucks sake, learn to write romance.
I’m sorry if this made no sense, I’m delirious after staying up all night to watch.
(not gonna yah the ships because I’d rather avoid discourse but my point still stands)

Episode 2 - Why Did People Flip - Xavier
Tumblr media
Format: Sequester
Eliminated: Wyatt (9-3-1-1-1) || Daisy (Battle Match)
BLAKE
so! week 2 and my plan honestly is to just really still focus on my social relationships. so far, i feel very confident in my ability to connect with people on a 1 to 1 level, and at least hopefully skate through these first few weeks. consistently my problem in the game is missing out on a key group or alliance that is running more than I know. without being too chaotic and paranoid, i would really really like to try to sit here and just scope out the relationships. as for my groups! i really want to work with jennet. she's like iconic? her art is so cute and i do feel like i made a genuine connection with her early on, and i think pointing out we're some of the only award winners in the cast could bring us closer together ! plus 4th place legends... beyond jennet, i have a group with isaac and nicole, and honestly, im feeling suprisingly good about both. i think these first 6 people i mention are the ones im going to focus on most, and focus on really forming game connection wheras the rest im just socially going to really force myself into their LIVES and hope they like me! Daisy and Jarod... loves them and swifties who ive played with in the past both in a way that i feel we were unfinished. jarod got taken out in the doubles round just as we kinda connected on a game level, and then daisy and i were working together in bb netflix before it got canceled. this is really the group i want to strategize with and im really putting myself on a limb being loyal to them because i know they have options, but its a risk im willing to take because if i can be the number 1, their connections can just offer more safety and information for myself. and the final people who i kinda want to work with is captain and wiliam xavier s up there, we just havent spoken tons dont really have much of an opinion on the others? if i had to nominate right now it might be mario just because we havent spoken yet.
XAVIER
It's annoying to be nominated, especially by Jennet. Literally two minutes before we were talking and I was explaining how this round is played. And then Jennet nominates me. I feel betrayed. Getting my G4ce together (Greenhouse 4) so we can vote as a team. And well, well, well, I just found out that the Sequester 4 are also voting together. It is weird that they are all nominated during the Sequester round. They are targeting either Wyatt or Kaleigh. Knowing they are a team, I want one of them out, if I can swing it quietly.
NICOLE
HI I’m back and already went through a ton! Last round a misunderstanding / Lanie throwing me under the bus just because I said I hadn’t spoken to Nyx and Captain really set me up in a weird spot so I had to get rid of Lanie and then she said we all suck (imagine being almost 30 and telling someone who is your students age that they suck! I get it really is terrible to be blindsided but it was her fault, she played too fast! Like yell at me for not communicating properly or whatever she believed I did at that point but don’t take it out on everyone especially like the youngest player in the game!) Anyway, this round is sequester so we are all back together! I finally get to play with Daisy! I love her so much so I’m super glad we got to play, I’m very glad I get to reunite with Lindsay, I’m glad William isn’t mad at me for the whole Lanie situation and now I’m safe for the first vote! It is a very good feeling but I also feel like I should be learning from Lanie’s mistake and playing not fast so I’m trying to take a step back from talking in the house chat. I’m just so excited to see everyone but I will try to contain myself so I don’t annoy anyone. Check back in later in the round!!!
BLAKE
I forget the questions omg but I had a call with Jarod where he kinda threw out wyatts name as an option to go, and honestly I’m completely fine with that because even though they seem super sweet, I feel like I’m juggling enough balls and I don’t need to add them into my mix, whereas I feel a lot better about every other nominee other than Kaleigh, who I don’t think anybody would do this early My strategy is to just campaign for myself to stay to everybody and avoid throwing out names. I’m hoping that comes from Jarod or one of the safe people because they literally have the safety to get away with it 
XAVIER
I like video confessionals. The only alliance of 4 should be Greenhouse
youtube
CAPTAIN
hello dr.. so i'm glad i got saved by jarod :pleading_face: he rlly said i'm gonna make captain safe no matter what happens. and thats exactly what he did :100: for ppl who are vulnerable, i want autumn, jarod and xavier to be safe the most like idc i just want 3 of them to be safe. xavier might be in a bit of trouble tho since the totem pole ppl are voting together for sure hmmm so i need to try to talk to them to sway them from voting xavier. for the plans to avoid battle match? idk i just want them to feel safe around me no matter what. so that if i end up voting them, they're not gonna be bitter at me that much. and i lowkey saved myself with wyatt since wyatt said they wanted to work with me so prays.
__________
also, i secured an alliance with jarod, autumn and jennet. and a greenhouse alliance with mario, nyx and xavier. the latter hasn't been in the talk like with every greenhouse yet but xavier brought it up to me and i think that it should be great. so fingers crossed!
WILLIAM
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO, going into Round 2 im having a really big struggle..... im seeing  THAT I DONT DISLIKE A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS CAST, USUALLY THERE IS AT LEAST ONE BUT NOPE    Also we are moving into a Sequester sorta semi safety chain with half vulnerable and half safe cast and lucky me I think Lanie either hated me the most or the least from our Survivor team and decided to give me the Karma twist which gave me safety for the round but made me have to pick the first unsafe out of the whole cast. I think my strategy was to pick someone who didn't talk to me yet (so i had a reason) as well as someone who was sorta loved by most if not all and wasn't a target for it, because I'm thinking if I just fade into the background this round no one would have a need or want to pick me for the Battlematch, i think its safe to assume whoever goes home will pick the person who made them unsafe plus like one other person, so i just have to avoid being that other 1/13 people. As for the vote i have no clue at all, I think maybe Isaac cause i haven't said much to him at all, or maybe Jarod cause i know he is hella busy and prob wont pick me to go into battle..... just not Wyatt or Blake or Kaleigh rn.  So like yeah, just gonna pray, not talk around too too much, let people come to me so it doesnt seem like im pushing anyones name and hopefully vote someone i dont love out. yeah so much fun xoxo William F
NYX
So, this round is pretty confusing and difficult to navigate cause not only do we have to vote someone out we have to vote someone out and hope they don't drag us into the battleback. I'm very happy to be safe for the vote since at least then i'll have a chance to battleback in a comp. So, for this vote I can't vote Autumn since she gave me safety, I can't vote Jarod since he took one for the team, I can't vote Xavier cause of the gh alliance, I can't vote Blake due to our bonding on tau ceti, so my only real options for this vote are Isaac, Wyatt, and Kaleigh. If I had my way i'd just pile the votes on wyatt and get them out now but it's not that easy because i haven't talked as much and they could see that as incentive to drag me in. Of course all the people I just mentioned I don't wanna vote for I wanna save because that means they'll be willing to work with me to some capacity. To avoid the battle match is the hardest part cause people can be very impulsive with their decisions and heat of the moment always catches people off guard. My best bet is just not to make too many promises and to just tell the truth and hopefully that'll be enough to gain their respect. 
CAPTAIN
besties.. i don't know what i'm doing. its between wyatt and kaleigh methinks but wyatt keeps dropping my name everywhere and i don't really like it. idk if they get eliminated, if they would put me in the battle or not. but like if they're this messy, i'm voting them for sure. also sobs kaleigh is so cute.
__________
prays for me DR! sign: captain.
LINDSAY
bro no one wants to throw out a name because of the battle drag twist so it's three hours to tribal and i dont know who the fuck to vote my gut is telling me jarod but i am absolutely not letting jarod drag that shit back to me definitely not autumn i dont know like. i'm working the tightest with william, daisy and wyatt weirdly enough and none of us have heard anything so i just. ?????
MARIO
I AM SAFE!!! I AM NOT SECOND BOOT AGAIN
AUTUMN
youtube
IT WONT LET ME PUT AUDIO FILES IN!!! But when Monty puts them all together later this season I hope yall enjoy haha
XAVIER
Ok this vote is messy. It started out with Jarod and the Sequester group wanting to vote Kaleigh. They got people on board, and it looked good. Until Wyatt made that alliance chat. And of course the vote shifted to Isaac. But the Sequester group won't vote Isaac. Mario voted Autumn. Captain voted Wyatt. I am voting Kaleigh because I haven't spoken to her much. But I want the vote to go Isaac's way - it breaks up Sequester, and he won't think it was me, so safe from the battle. So it may be 5 on Kaleigh, unless the other people in that Alliance chat are not being honest as well. Ha ha. As long as it's not me, right?!
LINDSAY
wyatt made a voting block?? and didn't include me?? the person with no connection to isaac who they kept safe and would have probably voted with them???? wh ok i guess my vote is on wyatt tonight tf 
NYX
So, this round is a clusterfuck of scrambling cause no one wants to get pulled into the battleback and potentially lose there. I just don't wanna go home even earlier than last time because my game has just been so much better and to lose it this way would be fucking devastating. i just want to win so badly so im just hoping i can maneuver this right
LINDSAY
"you know that this is anonymous right" DAISY HELP NO I DIDNT FUCK OK I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING WHAT IS HAPPENING WHERE AM I
XAVIER
WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I know Captain voted for Wyatt. Maybe Captain is more influential than I thought? Why did people flip? Because of the alliance chat? It was too much? And why wasn't I included in the flip vote? Agh. Time to make my own rules here.

I am still shookt

Responding to Varun
@varun-krishnan
Great post Varun, thank you for making disagreeing so enjoyable. I mean that sincerely. Its the things that keep you up at night that are worth doing. And its 4:30 AM! 
Anyways, I see you’re point. When people are giving to chance to choose, they usually choose wrong. But I wouldn’t be so quick to say we’d all spindle into a grand canyon of ineptitude. If no one is “working” then who would supply us with our phones anyways? The entertainment industry would most likely dwindle because, like we both agreed, it is only able to thrive because we need it to distract us. But if we didn’t need to quench this thirst that was deprived from work and dread, we might go mad. Those friends you spoke with who were bored over spring break probably had copious amounts of entertainment, and it still wasn’t enough anyways. What if having nothing to do, because work and progress were thrown out the window, is enough to force us to be cool. The struggle is what births cool after all. We’d be so bored to death that we’d be forced to improvise. I think the reason people rely on Netflix and iPhones so much is because they don’t know what else to do. Without work they probably wouldn’t be able to have them anyways. People I’ve talked to have no idea what they’d be doing if not what they are now.  You’re right when you say that they want the easiest route, but thats a byproduct of a society obsessed with progress. We need fast food, fast cars, and lame jobs to progress our society. In order for maximum efficiency and growth. The question then becomes, how beneficial is this growth? How far do we want to get? 90% of the worlds waste comes from 10% of the worlds population..or something like that. So how much longer will this last? How much more do we want? What will we tell our great great grandchildren when they’re living in a glass bubble on mars only dreaming of being able to look at a lake…or a tree? Obviously sacrifices need to be made in order for a society to progress, but at the end of the day, whats the point of this progress? How many of us will actually reap its benefits? 10%? 20%? And the ones who do, hate their jobs most of the time anyways. And its all worth it so we can squeeze some art through the cracks and take bike rides when we aren’t busy? What a silly way to live. Our society will eventually collapse if we continue to advance. Progress progress progress. At some point its got to give. The term worker bee was born for a reason. The focus of their existence is to work, work, and more work. They also suffer from colony collapse disorder. Theres no scientific explanation for it, entire bee colonies just vanish into thin air, with no trace of struggle..maybe its because they work too much. Or the collapse of Easter Islands society, progress is great when you’re progressing, but how “sustainable” is it anyways. Theres only so much resource. You seem to suggest that what we are doing now works, does it? Will any form of society actually work? Everyone relies on being told what to do because, like we talked about in class, its hard to think for yourself, its hard to get control over your body/mind, its hard to DO things that you aren’t told to do. Like post to this Tumblr.
Im not sure if people would turn to cool if they no longer had to work or go to college, but most people I ask usually say “I don’t know,” or that they would travel.
Im also not sure that art only existed after humans had civilized and advanced utility. Archeologists have discovered Paleolithic cave art dating 40,000 years back, in Indonesia. It’s pretty amazing too. The time spent looking for your next meal in 10,000 BCE is directly replace with time spent looking for your next pay check, and because of the efficiency we’ve “mastered,” excess has been born. Pablo Picasso was cool, but he was doing the best with what he had. He wasn’t making art to progress society, he was just putting it out there. We are obsessed with extremes, manic or depressed. Wealth or poverty. Cool trys to show us a middle ground, a constant hum rather than shouts and whispers.
You say that “..societal progress is critical not because it helps alleviate human suffering, but because it allows more people to be Cool..” But I disagree. Societal progress doesn’t alleviate any suffering, thats just part of the human condition. To rid ourselves of suffering would be to rid ourselves of our humanity. Which is exactly what we are on track of doing, becoming robots whose only purpose is to progress. On the contrary, In order for our society to advance, AKA produce more shit for the rich to buy, there has to be suffering. Most of these consumer products which blossomed from “societal progression,” have been tainted in blood. The invention of the iPhone has provided millions of sweatshop workers with 40 hour shifts and zero time to be cool..the only progression there is suicide rates. That sounds a lot like slavery, which still exists by the way, in India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, the list goes on. As for the starvation, theres plenty of that too. And way more people to endure its wrath, possibly because of societies advancements, what happened to Darwins theory of evolution, survival of the fittest? Are we cheating a bit? Even people who have access to food, still starve themselves. Eating disorders may have even stemmed from technological advancements (social media) too.
You say cool won’t progress society, whys that such a bad thing? It is true that the sophisticated and advanced society that James Dean or The Beatles could enjoy being cool in would seize to exist, but ultimately cool is a battle stance. What if there was no battle? What if we were so cool we didn’t even need I️t. I️ also agree that In order for cool to exist, there needs to be uncool. But does the uncool world depend on the cool one to exist? Its possible that we could become so dictated by success that we become like the worker bees. You could argue both sides. When people don’t have food, they are starving, but when people do have food, they are still starving. Of course cool needs the uncool and there will always be duality, Yin and Yang. There has to be, or else meaningfulness would be lost. If you just love everything and everyone, loves power sort of looses its meaning and just dilutes in its ubiquity. So I️ agree that cool has a relationship with the uncool, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that its intimate. Im not arguing for a utopian society, where we live in tribes and sing kumbuya by the campfire, hunt our own food and refuse to advance. Because that didn’t work either, someone eventually decided to make things easier, and advance. Maybe that was a mistake. It’s worth thinking about, and free too. Im not really sure what im arguing. We can learn from all of these different forms of society. Maybe not eradicating the workforce but promoting genuinely passionate career paths. I’d be lying if a little part of me didn’t scream fuck that, advancement is only creating more suffering to the unlucky ones. As you said, slaves cant be cool. But Slavery exists on both sides of the spectrum. On the far end, we could become so obsessed with advancement that we become slaves of money and material pursuit, and on the other end(living in tribes), slaves of famine and lack of clean water. Maybe theres a healthy middle ground. Perhaps nothing works, not even cool. As we learned in class, cool cracked up in 1968. Revolution swept the streets. Those streets have since been paved, where did the rebellion go? We live in a whole new world now, Lester Young and Andy Warhol didn’t have iPhones or Netflix, and Im sure it would have negatively effected their coolness if they did. But their art wouldn’t have existed if society didn’t advance in the first place, so is there a line? There must be. Any form of suffering, to a certain extent, would allow cool to exist. Its not necessarily the marketplace because that was the bane of cools existence in the first place, I think. You don’t necessarily have to be cool to enjoy the sunset either, so cheering for the hamsters on the wheel to run faster, just so the barrier to cool is a little easier to hop, isn’t the best idea. That perpetuating wheel has A LOT of side effects and cool is just one, if it even exists. I️m not sure it’s enough to outweigh the rest. I think cool should view the culture industry as an enemy, and there will never be a cool that isn’t thrust upon you through hardship, theres no escaping that. Even purchasing your cool requires some suffering, as we can all agree that making money isn’t all that fun. Unless you love what you do. I think the real question we should be asking is, how can we learn from all of this? How should we be?  to be continued in paper 3...

I watched the The Bridgertons on Netflix and ended up doing a 800 word sort of kinda review
there will be a lot of spoilers
I liked the show. I liked the actors, I liked the initial plot, the photography, it’s great to bingewatch, i didnt even realise it was an hour per episode. However, there are some regards. There is no particular order here, i just stated remembering the characters and pulled there. Also, I haven’t read a single book and i dont intend to so lol.
I liked the brother that was close to Eloise and I hope he’s queer. Apparently book stans ship him with a girl and I wouldn’t be bothered if he’s straight but making him bisexual wouldn’t change the fact he could end with this girl. Please do it haha.
Eloise was a character made to be loved and I liked the actress but I wasn’t that interested in her plot at all. Still have hopes for her tho. Has a lot of potential.
Penelope, I liked her but finding out she put her family’s name, jeopardized hers and her sister’s future for a man… girl get help.
Colin, cute but should be cuter. Somebody fix the hair.
(It’s funny how all the white characters have a storyline throughout the season but the black people that isn’t Simon gets one only in the last second or are literally there to give white people pep talk)
(I liked how they talked about how fragile a woman’s reputation/family is. Just a tiny rumor can ruin her)
They tried making Daphne some sort of feminist icon, constantly making her say stuff like “you males have this and that and we women don’t” or “I am in charge of my own future”  but it didn’t work and it was quite out of character, actually. How are you so self-conscious about this stuff, stuff that needed discussion and well-developed thought triggered by someone else (the only person I could thinktriggering being the sister she claims to be extremely different from.) but doesn’t know how to conceive a baby?
Marine (is that her name?) you go girl, I got your back. She was right the whole time except when she refused her brother in law proposal, given the time. Like, girl, you are a burden. Your reputation is ruined; your parents kicked you out. Marry him and poison him if you don’t like the guy later.
The main character initial storyline was well built and they had excellent chemistry, and they both seemed like good people AND SIMON WAS SO HOT PLEASE, but after they got married, everything got predictable and it had that uncomfortable scene in which I categorize as rape (is the same as a person taking out the condom during sex without telling his girlfriend/boyfriend) and then she was somehow pissed because he didn’t want kids? When he told her that he didn’t. I mean, yes he could’ve been more clear but still? Girlie was blaming him much more when he stated he couldn’t give her children AND was willing to die to give her the chance to. Not only that, when they go back to London, he decides they should break up (which could literally be better developed since two minutes ago he wanted to stay with her but I got it he wanted her to have whatever she wanted) she keeps only focusing on her pain and not even wondering why his father made him not want children and then proceed to not ask him directly or I don’t know trying to figure it out till the end of the season where she GOES THROUGH HIS STUFF AND READ HIS CHILDHOOD LETTER WITHOUT PERMISSION AND DOESN’T EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR IT.
Lastly, they tried to erasure the racism, or just made an excuse not to talk about the fact they lived in times were slavery was a thing/were a thing not too long ago and since this is an adaptation of a book written by a white woman, there’s no way in hell she was gonna force herself to make a research and address the issue, so she made up that the King of England (who’s sick btw) fell for a (light skinned) black woman and decided to finally repay all the madness they did to black people. The only reaction of this from black people was by Simon’s father, and was with fully gratitude. I will not dig into this further cause honestly im just glad this specific black people are getting paychecks and it’s 2020 I think I’ve suffered enough. I will not dig into how problematic and unrealistic it is and how besides that and minor exceptions the main characters are as white as it can be and how there are no other POC. In addition, how all the black women are light skinned, which is an extremely concerning fact about Netflix. Fact that used to be intriguing, then annoying, then colorist, now colorist and disgusting. I will not let this company be known to show diversity on tv shows when they treat black women like that. Nope. Fck them. I have said too much already (there’s still so much to talk about, example the problematic of how inter racial couples are being used here or being used period) but. Just know. It is problematic.  
Anyway, I’m glad they sort the whole Daphne x Simon thing out. Even though it wasn’t perfect it lasted long enough. I haven’t read the books but apparently it will be a season for Bridgerton and next one will be Anthony which makes me excited. The show made him annoying but it also obviously baked him to give the spotlight next season.

The Five (+1) Movies To Catch For the New Year
WOKE! 2020 Film Awards PReviews  
by Lucas Avram Cavazos
It is a mighty and yet daunting task this ‘2020 thing’ that is upon us. I think inherently we all know that some things are going to shift, others will change, some will expand and a lot more are likely to im/explode. Despite the factuality of it all, one constant I will always turn to, and recommend to you my lovelies, is cinematherapy. It goes without saying that some upcoming movies, which are either now or soon to be at our local VOS movie theatres, are also about to sweep some awards and with Oscar nominations going live this second week of January, I believe the movies below will soon be water cooler twawk, so me here at A Bitter Life brings you a BCN in VOSE look at the five (PLUS ONE!) films to catch before awards season intensifies.
In fact, it was a rather decent year for some great fare and not such a hodgepodge of Marvel and Disney movies forced down our throats every other week. The film I must start off with on this 2020 Film Awards Preview would be the excellent South Korean film Parasite ####-1/2, unanimously chosen as the winner of this year’s Palme d’ Or at Cannes and easily gracing the top or near-top of most film critic’s lists this year, as well it should. Telling the story of a South Korean family, the Kims, who slowly become interlopers within the confines of the uber-wealthy Park family. Starting off with one of them acting as a tutor, they slowly find a way to fill a need for the Park family, all while acting as non-related good Samaritans…that is until a botched getaway vacation and an underground bunker with a tale to tell reveal themselves and send the two families into a quagmire that must be seen and lived to be believed. (Now playing all over BCN/CAT/ESP)
Next up would be my personal favourite this year, though very closely followed by the aforementioned film! Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ####-1/2 became, at least for myself, a redeeming factor in the oeuvre of Quentin Tarantino after the meh! feelings given off by his last big screen outing a couple of years ago. Taking the tragic, real-life story of the Manson Murders that ended the life of Roman Polanski’s then-wife Sharon Tate, director Tarantino buckles his audience into their seats and sends them into a time zone tunnel to 1969 Los Angeles. One of the things that has always revolved around a Tarantino movie is the element of revenge. Here, we have a different take on a true event, but the concept is widened by the director using actors Brad Pitt, Leonardo di Caprio and even Margot Robbie as conduits of a bygone era that give a peek into a mindset and time that usually must be lived to be remembered. The fact that we, the viewing audience, feel like we were actually there in ’69 and then also given the chance to make up our own mind as to a possible different ending to the Manson family murders is mere evidence of a great director/writer who seamlessly gives us a choose-your-own-adventure saga with superb cameos. Excellent cinema once again. (Soon on DVD/Blu-ray & VOD)
The next big film that has increased the star power and respectability factor of Happy Gilmore, uh I mean, Adam Sandler is the ever-loved and heralded film Uncut Gems ####.  If we have to put some truth to power, it must be noted that part of the film’s appeal is that it is such a New York City film. When you then throw in the elements of a thriller mixed with the Diamond District of Manhattan AND a run-around plot that also includes ballers and entertainers like Kevin Garnett and The Weeknd playing themselves, what you get is a peek into  what feels like a true-life crime show playing out in front of your eyes. Add in the ever-excellent Tilda Swinton and Natasha Lyonne, as well, and even despite the long 2-1/4 hour running time, what you get is Adam Sandler, under the direction of the Safdie brothers and along with the good graces of Netflix (who will also be distributing the film in Europe), becoming the new Comeback Kid. (To be released in BCN/CAT/ESP via Netflix on Jan.31)
While we’re on the subject…Netflix. Whatever your thoughts may be on the streaming site service (and others like it), it goes without saying that VOD services have become the wave of the future. Home cinema and entertainment centres/systems are what make for the latest in silver screen viewing. For the last three-plus years, the world cinema system (not to mention film academies and award outlets) have had to adapt to a new reality few probably ever even thought of before this new digital age. Just a few days ago, perhaps showing a bit of wane after receiving the most nominations, only two actress winners took home trophies, Olivia Colman as The Queen in The Crown and Laura Dern for A Marriage Story, reviewed below. With that said, famed director/ writer/ producer Marty Scorcese decided to go the Netflix route for his (likely) last mafia opus The Irishman ####, detailing the life story and inner workings of the Philly mob, while also detailing intricacies of the Teamster unions, Jimmy Hoffa, the Kennedys and the inner workings of the US mafia and its many minions. Financed by Mexican firm Fabrica de Cine (mad side-eye and furrowed brow) amongst Netflix and other studios for international rights, the production of the film apparently ballooned up to (and some reports even say, well beyond) $160 million. With just under 8€ million reaped at the worldwide box office (taquilla) coffers, it’s fair to say that this film in all its glory should have been edited to a slightly shorter length and intended for movie theatres. It has had a fairly great response by viewers on the streaming site du jour, but even Sandra Bullock garnered hella more viewers with her formulaic thriller Bird Box earlier in the year. As a student and tutor of history, the elements of the film that stood out to me went beyond the impeccable performances, specifically by Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa, but of course De Niro and Pesci as Frank Sheeran and Russell Bufalino, as well, but it was Scorcese’s capturing of that forgotten time around which we find so many Trump supporters harkening to, and it details the trials and tribulations of the working class then…and perhaps, even now. That aside, I abhorred the expensive de-ageing CGI process to make the Italian acting kings look younger…just vile. It was like they suddenly became animated secondary characters from a dropped scene in Spielberg’s Tin Tin film a few years ago…bloody odd for a live-action mafioso epic. Still…Scorcese is the only working director who can capture that essence of a time gone by and dress it in Hollywood’s finest if overly-priced storytelling. Which brings us to the other Netflix gem to catch…but only when emotionally prepared.  (Now streaming on Netflix and select screens)
Marriage Story ####, a.k.a. that likely Oscar-nominated film that will require too many tissue moments, also makes its way to this list. Trust, I can get my heart strings pulled quite easily if the right sentiments abound, so I was non-plussed going into this because I had already heard from my film fest peops that it was a bit of a tearjerker. Undeniably, there is a brutally-displayed realness that envelops the main characters of this film, particularly actresses Scarlett Johansson and Laura Dern. Helmed by the wonderful Noah Baumbach, Johansson gives a near-best performance as former teen actress turned TV actress Nicole Barber, who separates from her NYC theatre-directing husband played by Kylo Ren himself, Adam Driver. When she takes a role and moves to LA, along with their child, things become even more real. There is a gutsy bravado that clearly makes itself beyond relevant, as the melancholy yet funny film continues, and I, for one, could hardly keep the sobs at bay with the ending of the film. This is the stuff that ‘rom-drams’ need last their heart, not that paltry shite fed to too many simpletons by Nicholas Sparks. (Now streaming on Netflix and select screens)
Aaaaaaaaand…lastly, Knives Out ####-1/2 rightly fixes itself into a final slot on this list because it is one of those long-lost wonders of vintage cinema…a star-studded quasi-whodunnit with wit and thrills and superb, serio-comedic acting by everyone involved. A mere smattering of those actors would be Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Spanish actress and Golden Globe nominee Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette and even Don friggin’ Johnson! Following an investigation into the sudden death of famed mystery writer Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer), who had just invited main members of his family to his mansion for his birthday celebration, we see the touches of a perfectly poised ensemble film. Director/writer Rian Johnson has really stepped up to the plate with the best of the new directors and fresh off his box-office behemoth Star Wars: The Last Jedi from a couple of years back, his helming a film like Knives Out really plays his hand heavily in his diversity and directing tenacity. The fact that he also wrote this fine piece of script and dialogue makes him even more worthy of a possible director nod and it goes without saying that the cast is undoubtedly the finest ensemble piece made and released in the last year, and if you’ve been seeking a classic feel of a film with a smart, sharp modern twist, this film will satiate any of those olskie-olskie longings of a nostalgic murder mystery that makes you feel good after you leave the cinema. (Now playing in BCN/CAT/ESP)
