Hey I was wondering if you could do something cute with Spencer (earlier seasons) where reader (BAU) is really small and sweet in general but can outdrink anyone and he’s just like ‘how r u not dead???’ when the team all go out for drinks :))

hi angel! thank you for requesting this, i love the idea and you’ll see the result soon, but anyway yeah.. i might... gone a bit over with this one.. and i changed the story a bit i hope thats okay. Happy reading❤️

Sorry for grammatical errors!

SUPER FLUFF AND DRUNK-NESS!!

It was around 6 pm when the jet landed safely in Virginia, the team has just wrapped up a particularly gruesome complex case that left them exhausted but relieved nonetheless because they’ve caught the unsub. When they walked into the bullpen, they immediately saw Garcia sniffles as stepped out of her lair to hug each and every one of you— especially tighter around you, since you’re just so tiny and ‘hugable’ she said one time, in which you chuckled and return the hug as tight. “hey it’s alright, we’re okay. It’s over.” you whispered, knowing full well how much these cases could affect her, and she smiled warmly as she muttered a small “thank you (y/l/n)”

As everyone settled to write down some paperwork from the case files, Rossi abruptly stood before suggesting that you guys should celebrate the success you achieved today, Morgan was the first one to jump into the opportunity- hurriedly stacking his papers on his desk before dragging prentiss out of her chair “okay now c’mon, everyone— hey Reid! (Y/n)! Yes- you genius geeks will be there or you’re not scared are you einsteins?” the cheap threat causes a burst of laughter amongst the team including from Aaron, while you felt the warmth creeping up on your cheeks.

You see you rarely attended the ‘after celebration’ party they held, unless its in Rossi’s place, now that one you can’t pass up because Italian foods! but in all seriousness, it’s not that you don’t want to be with your teammates, it’s just that you’ve always been the life of the party ever since you were a teenager. Your friend Samantha used to called you out on your gift, of the ability to drink without a single trace of being drunk despite you being tiny, now that wouldn’t usually be a problem but things change when you have a major crush on your coworker, Dr. Reid.

If someone asked, what is it that draws you into Spencer? you could probably list more than 100 things. Ever since you joined, you and spencer immediately clicks, maybe because you both have a lot in common. From the way you love the same movies, types of books, and even have similar philosophical views- hence the nicknames that your teammates has given you both, Duo geek geniuses or Mr and Mrs. Einstein, lastly your favorite is Dr. and Mrs. Reid due to your similarities. You may never admit it, but every time Derek would use that one particular name, your heart feels like it may burst at any second. In conclusion, You’re whipped and you hesitated on him finding out just how wild you can be.

But before your better judgment can come to view, your smugness get the best of you. Standing straight, arms folded across your chest as you stare into derek’s eyes “We’ll see who passes out first, ‘chocolate thunder’” you replied, earning claps from your teammates including spencer whose smile is as wise as you can possibly imagine. what can you say? (Y/n) (Y/l/n) never backs out from a challenge.

Few hours later they arrived at a local bar near the building, (y/n) managed to yet again sit beside Spencer on a private booth, to her left is Prentiss, followed by Rossi, Morgan, JJ, then Penelope. Aaron needed to come home because Jack needs his father, (so that left the bau kids without their dad). As they chatter for a bit, your hand turned to look at Spencer, immediately noticing the slight uncomfortableness plastered on his face.

You ran your palm on his shirt covered arms, smiling gently “Hey, are you okay? do you wanna get out of here?” Spencer could tell that you’re being genuine, and caring which made his heart burst. “No, i’m okay (y/n) bars aren’t really my thing” He nervously giggles, scrunched up his nose and looked back at you. “Okay just let me know, spence” You patted his chest twice before returning to listen to the others.

Garcia had ordered shots for you to all drink, when it arrived your eyes widened at the sight of way too many shot glass filled with.. vodka you presumed, and 2 glass of coke and one glass of water. Everyone just stared back and forth between the drinks and garcia, which she replied with a “you guys said its a celebration” and before anyone can argue, morgan interrupts “Its okay babygirl, as i remembered that our sweet genius little miss (y/n) here have promised us she would drink tonight, and lots of it” his eyebrows are twitched as you lick your lips before leaning forward to take down the first shot.

“bring it on”

as it reached 12 AM all of the team has drown at least 3 shots, whilst you and Morgan’s count is higher than that. You heard a loud chuckle coming from your right as you gulped down a glass of water, turning to your side you can see spencer nursing his glass of coke that seemingly still full.

“Okay, who are you and what have you done to my sweet (Y/n)?” He said with a laugh, the straws that hang from his lips made your breath hitched and your fingers gripped the glass tightly at the sound of My sweet (Y/n). You composed yourself before mumbling,

“Hey thats not nicee! i’m right here still the same, what? you don’t love me when i’m drunk?” and if you think that doesn’t effect every neurons in his system then you’re dead wrong because Spencer would’ve done anything to just squeeze you tight in his arms and hold you close while listening to your slightly drunken rambles. “No, god no angel. What i meant is that, i was just not expecting this side of you, i mean look around, you outdrank everyone— how are you not dead yet?” his voice is borderline high pitched but also rugged, which made you instantly blush, looking down before glancing at your drunk coworkers, giggling at the sight of them.

Rossi had left few moments ago if your memory is right, Will picked up JJ and a very drunk Penelope home, whilst Prentiss took a very very drunk half-passed-out-Morgan. After saying your mocking goodbyes, you and spencer stared at each other. Your gaze is drunk yet lovingly genuine, Spencer’s figure tower over you as he tucked some of your fallen hair behind your ears and smiles.

“How about i take you home?” He offered, which earned a small disappointment filled whined from you at the loss of his touch. Your eyes widen, hoping he didn’t hear that but of course he did and immediately wrapped his arms around your shoulder, keeping her warm by his side as he walked them both to her car.

“You’re awfully cuddly when you are drunk (y/n) this is the drunk you i thought i was going to see” he opened the passenger door for you, before slide into the driver seat and started driving. “well i’m sorry that you didn’t like this side of me i thought—“ before you continue to ramble your drunk thoughts out, Spencer reached to softly grip your hand in his and let out a breathy laugh,

“No! (Y/n) thats not what i meant, i mean- i always like you, i’ve always liked you since the beginning no matter how many sides you have on you, you’re smart, and funny, and you understand me- thats why i like you so don’t think for a second that i didn’t like you then, especially when you beat Morgan’s ass off” He rambles as you dreamily stare into him, half hearing what he said, before he freezes, and realized what he had said or basically confessed.

“hey uh-“

“uh huh, i like you too, Spencer reid”

“We’ll try again tomorrow when you’re sober”

“I’m pretty sure, my feelings will still be the same.”

“Mine too.”

Chance Encounter//Mark Tuan x Y/N

Description: Walking into the night shift at the hospital proves to keep you on your toes. Nights are left to the universe so you can only hope that tonight will be decent. What happens when you find out that one of your patients is THE Mark Tuan from GOT7? how do you try to deal with the chaos erupting from this chance encounter? and how many times do you have to tell yourself that you love your job?

Genre: fluff, slight cringe

Pairing: Black Fem ReaderxMark Tuan (though I will say there isn’t much description of black characteristics)

Word count: 4.4K

Warning: explicit language

A/n: uploading this while I’m in the middle of lecture. Nothing crazy to add though. I was trying to be more specific with the collage, but why is it so hard to find a picture of an actual black woman arm?! (this will most definitely make sense when you read this chapter lol). I really try not to use the same photos twice, but it happens. hope y’all enjoy chapter 3!

*All pic collages are made by me unless I state otherwise. Individual pictures in the collage are not mine and I give credit to where credit is due.

Chapter 3

For shifts being 12 hours long, they always seem to go by quickly. Fortunately, this shift was one of them. Nothing else crazy happened the rest of the shift. More flirting from Mr. Tuan, more me getting slightly flustered by it, got in an argument with a confused elderly patient who...well...it’s too long to explain, actually got to eat dinner, etc. Before I knew it, it was 6:50am. I was finishing up on my last bit of charting when I heard the patient phone at the desk go off. I groveled because I was hoping it wasn’t one of my patient’s who needed something extensive done. I got up and headed to the phone. I checked the screen and saw a room number I know all too well...Mr. Tuan. I answer the phone,

“How may I help you?” I question just like I do any other patient.

“Oh, I was wondering if I could get a cup of coffee” he says politely.

“Sure! how many creamers and sugars” I respond.

“Um, how about 3 creamers and 6 sugars?” he responds giddily.

“Coming right up” I speak up happily. Maybe a little too happily because all I receive is a giggle at the end. I’m just happy that the request wasn’t anything major that involved me having to leave super late like I normally do. It definitely isn’t that Mark’s face would be the last face (of my patients) I would see before going home. I head to the pantry where the snacks and juices are located. I remember the nurses mentioning making a fresh pot of coffee a little while earlier, while I prefer my red bull. I grab a little styrofoam cup, fill it up with coffee, grab the requested amount of creamers and sugars, and head to Mark’s room. 

I reach Mark’s room and proceed to knock. I make my way in and I’m greeted by a bright smile so early in the morning, the poor guy looked tired though. The one of a few downsides of night shift is having to wake up patients while they sleep. I know I’m angry when someone wakes me up from my slumber, so I try to be as polite to them when I go into their rooms at 3am in the morning. I set the coffee, creamers, and sugars down on the table and pull the table across him so it’s an easier reach; and also that breakfast would be served soon so there won’t be much to do for the people bringing the food. 

Once I set down everything, I look to Mark who just has a tired smile on his face. 

I begin brightly, “hope you enjoy your coffee Mr. Taun.”

He looked at me with such a calm look, I guess he was done with the flirting from doing it all night. He comments,

“You seem happy to see me so early in the morning”, maybe I jumped the broom to think he was done with the flirting. 

“Well I’m happy that I get to go home in a few minutes and sleep until coming back tonight. Also the fact that your request isn’t something to keep me here for a long time” I reply happily. 

“So, you’re coming back tonight? Do you ever get enough sleep?” he questions.

“I do, but luckily I only work weekend nights so my sleep schedule doesn’t get super messed up.”

“Oh so you at least get the week off, that’s good” he says earnestly.

“Well, kinda. I have another job I work during the week and on Saturday mornings. So I end up going from there, then home for a little while, then come here for the night” I reply nonchalantly.

“Do you ever rest? You must be tired a lot” he says slightly concerned. 

“Well look who’s talking Mr. Idol” I laugh.

“Yeah you have a point, but just make sure not to push yourself too much. I can at least vouch the damage exhaustion can do” he solemnly replies.

“Don’t worry, once fall starts I won’t be working as much because of school” I say. 

“You’re in school too! You’re insane you know that right haha” he laughs.

“And like I said before, look who’s talking Mr. Idol” I laugh along. I don’t understand why he’s so worried when everyone who knows idol life knows how hard and tiresome it is. It’s sweet though. I look at my watch and see it’s already 7am.

“Well mr. Tuan, I have to go now, my bed is calling for me. I’ll probably see you later tonight” I state walking towards the door. He looks at me with slight confusion,

“Are you not going to be my tech tonight?”

“What? will you miss me if I’m not?” I say sarcastically

“Yes…” I hate when he does that. He gets so serious all of the sudden and I know he’s just trying to mess with me, well not this time pretty boy.

“Oh yeah sure, I bet you’ll just miss teasing me. I only say that ‘probably’ because they could switch my rooming assignments, but to be honest, that rarely ever happens with me since I only work two shifts back to back” I conclude. For a second I thought I saw a slight smile, what a weird dude. We say our sorta last goodbye and I leave the room. Though it’s been an exciting and yet weird shift, I’m just happy to be finally going home.

~Later That Day~

Back again for another shift. Everything is the same as last night and previous shifts. When I check the census, I see that I have one less patient. I guess someone was discharged during the day, good, one less person to look after. I make my way around my rooms, happily greeting my patients who are happy and surprised to see me back again. Then I reach Mark’s room, yet again, a couple deep breaths and my knuckles hit the wooden door. I walk in and I’m greeted by a soft smile...wow...didn’t realize how I missed that smile within a short amount of time. This whole thing is still so surreal to me. 

I see that the manager’s back, but luckily no death glares this time. He actually looks at me pleasantly and I look at Mark,

“Um, Mr. Tuan, did you tell your manager something about me? He doesn’t look like he wants to kill me like he looked yesterday”I question slightly side eyeing the manager. 

“Oh, I just told him how great you were last night, even put up with my annoyingness. He found it impressive that anyone could put up with me for 12 hours straight that wasn’t him, other managers, and the members” he laughed.

“That makes a lot more sense, I’m glad then. Honestly though, I still see you as the quiet member even though there are plenty of videos that truly prove the opposite” I mention. 

“Yeah, I’m still pretty introverted though. The members really bring out my goofy side” he scoffs. I can tell that his members really mean a lot to him, it’s really in the eyes. The small glint I saw in his eyes for just a second, it was really...beautiful. y/n, this isn’t the time. I continue on with the typical routine where I get his vitals and ask the same questions. I even asked his manager if he wanted anything and he asked for a cup of coffee; no problem there. Since I wanted to get more on his good side, I decided to get it for him and add in some graham crackers with it (nice touch y/n). 

Mark watched as I gave his manager the requested item plus the bonus gift. He smirks,

“Really? I don’t recall him asking for crackers. Someone’s trying to make a good impression, but why don’t you treat me that nicely? When I asked for coffee this morning, you really only just brought what I asked” he whined with puppy dog eyes.

“First, you got me on his good side so I would love to keep it that way. Also the fact that he has to keep tabs on you and the other 6 members, I feel for him. So of course I would like to show my appreciation towards him. He must also really be worried about you...ya know” I say shyly. Thank goodness I’m wearing a mask…

“M-my y-y/n is so caring” Mark fake sobs. I roll my eyes at the over acting. For someone so quiet and yet so loud, Mark will never make any sense to me. I continue on with small talk, but excuse myself to finish up my vital roundings. I say goodbye to Mark and the manager and be on my way. 

I had a gut feeling that tonight’s shift wasn’t going to go as smoothly as last night’s. It always happens that way unfortunately. Though I had one patient discharge during the day shift, I gained two more meaning my section was close to its max. One particular new patient had some extra strength for being elderly; she would make a great teammate on a kickball team. While the nurse was trying to get her info and do her duty to get her fully admitted she started kicking and screaming. Another nurse came to help and I entered the room not long after. It was quite the sight though, both nurses having to hold down the limbs of the patient. I told the other nurse that I got it and she would be ok to leave since this technically wasn’t her patient to deal with. She nodded and I took her position holding the patient’s legs. 

An intense stare off between my new patient and I was a battle I knew I could win. I could tell by her eyes, and because I got a report on her from the nurse before she arrived, that she wasn't all there in the head. As the nurse started putting the restraints on our new patient, I slowly let go of her legs because it seemed she had calmed down a bit, boy oh boy was that a mistake. Only about a minute after letting go of her legs do I find a foot flying in my direction. I managed to shield my face with my forearm and block it, but I knew a bruise would be forming there pretty soon and my arm would be sore for a while. I wince in pain, but managed to grab her legs again until we would be able to restrain her. The nurse looked at me and began to ask,

“y/n you ok? That looked like a nasty hit” said the nurse.

“Yeah I’m fine, I just know I shouldn’t push myself for a while” I say to her. She looked and nodded in agreement. She double checks my arm to make sure nothing is out of place and deems I should be alright. I thanked her, asked if there was anything she needed me to do and she said no. I walked out and went to sit at one of the computers to try and clear my mind. After a little while I decided it was best to get some ice and some gauze to wrap and cool off my hurt arm to reduce any possible swelling that could occur. By the time I was done, I saw it was about the time for me to check up on my patients and to see if they needed anything. I made my way room to room while keeping the small ice pack on my arm. Fortunately, I was able to keep it hidden from the majority of the patients (some were asleep at this point anyways)...key word is majority. When I got to Mark’s room, I knocked slightly afraid he would be asleep and I didn’t want to wake him. He was awake, of course, and talking on the phone. When he heard me open the door he turned his head and smiled,

“Hey y/n, great timing! I’m chatting with the members, do you want to say hi?” he asked. This I was very grateful for since the last time was very much a surprise.

“Um sure, as long as I’m not interrupting anything” I say softly.

“Nah, they never do anything that important or they wouldn’t be talking to me” he laughed. The laughing quickly halted when he noticed the ice pack on my arm.

“y/n, what happened to your arm?” he questions, unable to take his eyes off my injured arm.

“Oh nothing to worry about” I smile and wave the hand of the injured arm. Big mistake. I slightly winced a bit and put the ice pack right back down on the arm. Mark mutes the facetime call and flips his phone over. He grabs my arm to bring it closer to him and again I slightly wince in pain.

“y/n...what happened?” he deadpanned.

“Honestly it’s nothing, one of my new patients just has a killer kick for being in her 80s. It’s fine, but unfortunately no bath for you tonight” I laughed, but he didn’t. He looks a bit concerned, but I try my best to brush off his worries. 

“Mr. Tuan I promise it’s nothing serious. In retrospect, I should be the one worried about you given I’m a fan” I say trying to make light of the moment. It partially works, but I know the worry is still there. 

“y/n you don’t have to worry about the bath. The doctor came by and said I could move around with some assistance so I’ll just hop into the shower chair. Luckily, I don’t think I’ll plan a shower for tonight...it’s not like I’ve done much but sit here” he laughed lightly. I smiled glad he was over it, but forgot he was still kinda holding onto my arm.

“Um Mr. Tuan, you’re still kinda holding on to my arm and if you don’t mind I would like to put the ice pack back on it before any possible swelling occurs” I laugh. His eyes grow big, fully forgetting that he has a hold of my arm. He lets go quickly and the room is filled with an awkward silence. Well, almost silent. We started hearing noises and I started getting a little creeped out because...night shift. That’s when I remembered,

“Mr. Tuan I would’ve hoped to have befriended your group members by now. You might want to show you're still alive before they think I did something to you” I laugh. He realizes the whole purpose of me being in the room was that I get to talk to his members. He flipped the phone back over and un-muted it,

“Hey~ sorry idiots, I had to talk to y/n about something” Mark started.

“Who you callin an idiot...idiot” BamBam replied almost instantly. Wow so he really is this extra even when not around fans and cameras huh.

“So are we going to get to meet her or what?” Yugyeom blurts out in Korean. I laugh a little at how childish this giant is. Mark turns the camera to me and I’m met with five faces I’ve grown to know since debut.

“Hi~ I’m y/n and I’m such a big fan! Like this is honestly crazy, though I would’ve loved to meet y’all in a different situation” I relay softly. 

“AYE WASSUP y/n!!” Jackson screams

“Jackson you’re too loud, but hello y/n it is nice to finally meet you” Jinyoung says with a sweet motherly smile. I couldn’t help but laugh at the situation, this is all super crazy. 

As I continue to receive warm greetings from the five I realize there’s someone missing. I look to Mark and whisper,

“Where’s JB?” 

He roles his eyes and proceeds with 

“He had some songs he was working on so he couldn’t join” he replied.

“Wow she really must be head over heels for JB huh?” I hear Jackson comment. I panic slightly,

“I was just wondering where he was, I would’ve wondered the same about any of y’all if a person wasn’t here!” I ramble. 

“...wait, but how---Mr. Tuan you didn’t!!” I look at Mark with daggers that're sharper than any needle. He raised his arms up in defensive mode quickly and rebutted,

“I promise I didn’t say anything! I learned my lesson last time so I kept my mouth shut I promise!” he said hysterically, but trying to laugh away the situation. I keep the daggers on him until I hear someone speak up in Korean 

“JB was actually texting us and bragging about how he’s your favorite member and your favorite idol overall” Youngjae speaks up laughingly. I look at Mark and he translates what Youngjae just said, but I find it hard to believe. 

“Jackson is Mr. Tuan translation right or will I have to make his hospital stay longer?” I said evilly.  

“No, his translation was right, JB was bragging about it in the group chat” Jackson said irritatedly. I was shocked, like I can’t believe my bias was this excited that I’m one of his fans. 

“But on your favorite list, what place am I on there sweetheart?” he smirked. Really, this again? And paired with the smirk too...Lord help me.

“Umm~ are you sure you want to know?” I question.

“You and I are tied Jackson. She’s been a fan of Markson so you can tell she’s been around for a while” Mark interjects.

“I’m pretty sure he asked me the question, Markipoo~”I roll my eyes

“I told you not to call me that!!” he grumbled. Laughter filled the room from me and the boys on the facetime call.

“OMG she knows about the nickname!!” BamBam exclaimed. All the boys had tears welling up in their eyes. I couldn’t help but laugh along too, though I had to keep my voice down. Not that I would get in trouble, but I’m at work so I don’t want to seem like I’m just hanging out too much. Then again, I’m done with all my duties for a while so it’s not too crazy to stay here for a little while. 

“But, Mark is right. JB is my favorite member, but Mark and Jackson are tied for second. Even then, apart from JB being my favorite member that doesn’t mean I love y’all any less. I think I would equally pass out if I met any of y’all in real life” I mention.

“Well?” Jinyoung questions

“Well...what?” I asked back confused.

“You’re not passed out” Yugyeom finished.

“Haha, well at this point I don’t think I could be surprised by Mr. Tuan anymore” I laugh tiredly. I could tell they wanted me to continue given their curious looks. 

“Well, first I didn’t even know it was this Mark Tuan that was my patient last night. He also tended to be a big flirt and joker throughout my shift last night. Then, though I was grateful, he rudely surprised me with a video call with JB. Then I came back in here, but fortunately he at least offered to tell me ahead of time that I would get to talk to you all. So though I’m still a bit nervous getting to meet y’all, I’m beyond the moon right now” I conclude. Wasn’t sure if all I just said made sense, but luckily Mark jumps in to translate to the members that are less fluent in English. Thank goodness to Mark. A chorus of ah’s made their way into the room when Mark finished explaining which signaled an understanding. 

The conversation continued on naturally until I heard the intercom come on, 

“Hey y/n room 123 needs some assistance whenever you’re available” the nurse said.

“Okie dokie, thanks. I’ll head there now” I reply. 

“Well looks like duty calls, it was so nice meeting you all finally!” I continue on happily.

“Awe, bye y/n! Hope we can meet again soon!” Youngjae says. The boys follow with similar melodic phrases as we both said our goodbyes. 

As I was walking out, I say my last goodbye to Mark and that I would be back later when I made my rounds for vitals. 

“Okay, see you later sweetie” Mark joked.

“Yeah yeah whatever” I roll my eyes, exiting the room with a smile. That boy is such a headache sometimes, I swear. Welp, I better go help this patient. I know exactly what this patient’s deal is so I know to hurry because they need to get up to use the bathroom. 

*Mark’s POV*

“Sweetheart huh?” Jackson raises an eyebrow.

“Oh shut up, Jackson. That’s how I’ve been messing with her this whole time, though it seems like she’s used to it by now” Mark speaks up.

“Yeah~ sure, but we’ve never known you to flirt like that especially without other fans and cameras around because at that point you would be forced to. Does our Markipoo have a crush?” Jinyoung taunts.

“You would think I would get more respect as the oldest” Mark sighs

“Haha nope, never” BamBam grins.

“But really Mark, you sure you're not seeing y/n any other way. Your eyes seem to tell something different” Jackson brings up.

“I promise it’s nothing, being here is really boring so y/n is just simple entertainment. Really, you should’ve seen her reactions when we first met” Mark says laughingly. 

“Ok bro, just checking to make sure” BamBam replies. 

*y/n’s POV*

The rest of the shift goes by not as eventfully as the earlier in the shift, but what shift goes by without a bit of craziness. I reach the end of the shift and I’m sitting down at the computer catching up on some back charting. 

“How do I always get caught in this situation? Ugh, I’m going to be here for a while” I mumbled under my breath. Next thing I hear is the patient phone ringing. I cringe just knowing very well it’s one of my patients...it always is. I head to grab the phone and look back at the screen to see the room. 

“This boy is amazingly attentive” I laugh to myself. Of course it’s Mark calling. I pick up the phone and answer in my best customer service voice,

“How can I help you?” I answer.

“It’s almost like you wait for my call, do you wanna hear my voice that much?” Mark says. 

“Mr. Tuan did you need something?” 

“Oh ok, I just wanted another cup of coffee” he says in a small voice. 

“Haha ok coming right up, 3 creamers and 6 sugars right? ” I question.

“Yup, good memory” he laughs.

“Why thank you, sir” I laugh and hang up the phone. Yet again happy that the request isn’t too crazy, I head to the pantry once again. I grab the coffee, creamers, and sugars once again. I think to myself that maybe the manager will be back again like yesterday evening so I decided to grab another cup of coffee. I head to Mark’s room and knock lightly. I leave one cup outside the door in case the manager wasn’t there (I know I could just give Mark the other cup, but nah). As I make my way in I’m met with pleasant smiles from Mark and the manager as well. I take a slight step back to grab the coffee I have sitting outside the room and handed one to Mark and the other to the manager.

Both faces were garnished with bigger smiles than when I walked in and it was honestly satisfying. Not gonna lie, nothing more satisfying then making people happy. I greet the manager and he greets me back. Mark sparks up the conversation while instead of me leaving to finish up my charting, I sign into the computer to finish up (thank goodness for this system sometimes). Mark continues,

“So how was your night?” Mark asked curiously

“Good, that new patient that gave me the wicked kick didn’t cause me any disturbance last night” I laughed. 

Staring down at my arm, Mark asks “Oh yeah! Speaking of which, how is your arm?”

“Still hurts a bit, but nothing a little otc (over the counter) meds can’t handle” I reply.

“That’s good, I hope you don’t push yourself too much with that arm,” he says thoughtfully. I smile to myself, also thankful that I’m yet again black and wearing a mask because Mark would see how red my face would be. Sometimes I hate how he’s still able to mess with me even when he doesn’t intend to intentionally. 

“I won't, I won’t, thanks for the worry though” I say with a small smile.

“This is your last shift right? I remember you telling me you only work weekend nights” he brings up. 

“Oh yeah it is, but as I tell all my patients on Monday mornings, ‘if I don’t see you next weekend, it was very nice getting to be your tech and I surely hope you’re not here when I’m back because who would want to be stuck in a hospital?’” I remark. 

“Haha nice, but I’ll miss teasing you. Besides that, you’re very good at your job so props to you” he relays kindly.

“Hahaha thanks, but you know what I would really love? Is to see you boys at a concert! A sis too broke to get good seats AND plane tickets along with everything else” I fake whine as I sign out of the computer being happy that I’m done with the charting as well. Mark laughed understanding how it could be frustrating, but also knowing he doesn’t have the ability to decide where the group tours. 

“Yeah, yeah, we’ll have to see,” he laughs. I laugh along as well, but it struck me that this would be the last time I would get to talk with Mark. It was expected obviously, but could you blame a girl. This isn’t a new feeling because it tends to happen whenever I get close to patients, Mark just so happens to be one I’ve known for years, even if he had just heard of me Saturday night.

We say our last farewells since it was 7am. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is. I head towards the door and turn around one last time. A slight smile graces both Mark and I’s face,

“Have a good day Mr. Tuan” I say.

“Have a good life y/n” he replies with a soft smile.

Character Questionnaire: Cinder

Player Task 001: Character Development. 

BASICS

1. Height?

I'm 5'7".

2. Eye colour?

...green, though Haruhime called it forest green.

3. Do they need glasses?

I don't. I have a hunter's eyesight.

4. Scars and birthmark?

None.

5. Tattoos and piercings?

None. I was thinking of getting the same tattoos as Haruhime, though. Hers were amazing.

6. Right or left handed?

Both. (He is ambidextrous.)

7. Any disabilities? Physical or mental.

None.

8. Do they have any allergies?

I'm not sure. I got sick after eating crabs once but I did eat a lot of them that one time and I haven't gotten sick from eating crabs since.

9. Favourite colour?

Green. Sometimes red.

10. Typical outfits?

My kannushi clothes. My mentor Ryuki gifted them to me, so they're...nice.

11. Do they wear any makeup?

Nope.

12. What weapon do they use, if any?

I use my ceremonial scimitar, which is basically just a normal scimitar but with the Sai family's special emblem. They're very traditional, you know.

PERSONALITY

13. Are they more optimistic or pessimistic?

I'd say I'm both. (Nope, he's very pessimistic. He only gets optimistic for money.)

14. Are they introverted or extroverted?

Extroverted. (Nope. They were extroverted before but the Sai family tragedy has since turned them introverted. They do get extroverted for money or when drunk but by default they've since been introverted.)

15. What are their pet peeves?

...questions. Lots and lots of them. (Also, anything that smells bad. His senses are heightened somewhat.)

16. What bad habits do they have?

None...of your business. (They can be very moody and antisocial. Their habit of keeping secrets can be terrible as well, especially if it ends up to the detriment of their allies.)

17. Do they have any phobias?

I fear nothing. (He's afraid of spiders, well, getting surprised by them at least, and flying roaches.)

18. How do they display affection?

I don't. (He used to be very touchy and even wrote poetry for Haruhime before. These days, he rarely does, unless it's for money or when he's drunk.)

19. How competitive are they?

Eh, not very. (He is secretly super competitive but only with things like hunting, tracking, basically things that he associates he worth with.)

20. If they could change one thing about themselves, what would it be?

Nothing. I'm perfect the way I am. (He secretly wants to change his heritage. He sometimes believes that if he wasn't who he was born as, the Sais wouldn't have suffered their tragedy.)

21. Do they have any obscure hobbies or routines?

Nope. (He observes what can only be described as the equivalent of real-world Shinto worship to Melora. He also has a soft spot for incense, tea ceremonies, and for some strange reason, flower decoration.)

BACKSTORY

22. What are the names and ages of their close family members? Parents, siblings, etc.

The Sais, master Ryuki and Haruhime, were my family. Master was old enough to be my father and Haruhime was around my age when we first met. (Cinder never met his real parents, as he was abandoned as a child. He does not know where his parents are if they are even still alive today or if he had any siblings.)

23. Is their family alive and are they still in contact with them?

...no. (The Sais passed away after suffering a tragedy, and his last contact with Ichi, Haruhime's cousin, was three years ago. He has no idea if his biological family is alive, having never met them.)

24. Where are they from? City, nation?

I'm from the far east, where cherry blossoms bloom and snow falls.

25. Did they have a childhood best friend?

Yes. Her name was Haruhime.

26. Have they had any pets?

No. I am usually the pet.

27. Did they grow up rich or poor? What were their living conditions like?

I had to fend for myself growing up when my family abandoned me as a child. That was, until I met the Sais who accepted me as their own. We lived simply, neither rich nor poor, in the service of the Sai family shrine.

28. What is their educational background?

I was mostly taught by the Sais. (He was tutored, basically home-schooled, by the Sais. He is surprisingly very literate and well-versed in magic, which he refers to as his "okurimono," and religion, specifically everything involving Melora.)

29. As a child, what did they want to be when they grew up?

I wanted for nothing but to live with the Sais until my last.

30. What advice would they give to their younger self?

...to never leave the Sais' side and protect them at all cost, even if it means your own life. There is nothing else past them, only sorrow and despair.

31. Growing up, were they ever bullied or were they the bully?

Neither. (He was most definitely bullied for being a homeless runt...until the beast within scared his bullies off. Then he was chased away by concerned parents.)

32. Who do they look up to/who is their role model?

Haruhime...and Ryuki. (Cinder didn't just love Haruhime. He actually looked up to her as a role model and saw her as his hero, being everything he wished he could have. Ryuki was more of a father figure to him, having taught him most of what he knows, than a role model, but he does admire his patience and commitment.)

PRESENT

33. Do they currently have a place of residence?

...yes? (Technically, no. He does have a room at Lunacrest, sort of, but he's always scrambling to pay his rent. The only reason he still have it is because the owner takes pity on him after accidentally hearing his story from a drunk Cinder, extending his due date whenever he can. Cinder also often wakes up in random stables, sometimes right outside the gates, after nights of heavy drinking.)

34. What is their most treasured possession?

My kannushi clothes. My ceremonial scimitar. The things that remind me of home and the Sais.

35. What is their drink of choice?

...the Redheaded Harlot. (Deep amber red and thick like blood, this shot is supposed named after a tavern's best lady of the evening. Made from fermented berries, Tree Ent Root, and Deer's blood, the rim of its flagon or glass is usually also coated in honey and dipped in a red sweet powder that is to be licked before pounding down the drink. It is said that all who drink this become very charismatic towards the opposite sex for the entire time the drink is in their system.)

36. Which king/queen are they loyal to, if any?

Whoever will pay me the most, of course. My loyalty is for sale to the highest bidder.

37. Have they ever killed anyone?

... (He has, though he never speaks of such tragedies.)

38. What was their last promise and did they keep it?

... (He promised the dying Haruhime that he would live his life like she did hers, without bitterness and anger. Clearly, he has failed to keep it. He had tried before but he just couldn't keep to it.)

LOVE

39. What was their first kiss like, if they’ve had one?

It was...the best feeling I've ever had. (It was actually pretty brief, as it was an accidental kiss between him and Haruhime. She was trying to surprise him with a peck on the cheek but he turned to look at her, curious at what she was doing.)

40. Are they in a relationship/have a love interest?

... (Haruhime was the love of his life, and he believes he will never love another.)

41. Have they ever been in love?

...yes.

42. Have they ever had their heart broken?

... (Haruhime's untimely passing broke not only his heart but also his spirit. He hasn't been the same since.)

SPIRITUALITY

43. Do they follow a god, if so who?

I follow Melora, though the Sais know her by a different name. I used to know her by a different name as well, but names are less important than what they do.

44. What do they think happens to them after death?

I'll be reunited with the Sais again.

45. What is their spirit animal?

A wolf...or maybe a fox. Both?

CISMALE — ever hear people say THOMAS HAWTHORNE looks a lot like YOUNG LEONARDO DICAPRIO? I think HE is about 22, so it doesn’t really work. The BIOTECHNOLOGY major is a JUNIOR that is from JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. They can be +RESOURCEFUL, but they can also be -UNRELIABLE. I think TOMMY might be SHEEP STATUS. They are living in BALTA. 

hi every1 im jack, im from england, currently dying and melting in this heatwave but anyway this is tommy, hes a fresh new baby of mine, possible plots/connection are at the bottom, okay love u all already x

tommy was adopted from birth, and grew up anaware he was, hes super close with his mum, and his relationship with his father has always been rocky.

everyone calls him tommy, sometimes tom... rarely tho... never thomas...just no...unless its a cute ship thing maybe who knows... and hes from the sunny florida.

he has two adopted sisters who are 10 and 12 years younger than him, and is unaware if his biological parents ever had more kids of their own.

always been told to make other people happy, tommy is a huge people pleaser and loves to love  often tries to make everyone happy and it doesnt always work oops.

lived in jacksonville his whole life, he discovered he was adotped in his high school freshman year in which he responded to it with feelings of hurt and deceit. it took him a while to get over it and some reckless decisions were made throughout the rest of the year which got him a reputation he isnt so proud of.

he came out as bi initially, trying to convince himself that he could like both - believing that his father would approve more if this were the case. and it wasnt till his senior year he came out a second time.

a bit of a geek at times, he says some weird random shit but you know what, we love it 

a hopeless romantic or simply a lustful sexual erotic boy?

surprisingly smart and resourceful despite being an unreliable idiot at times, like he'll literally trip over his own feet or think he's lost something and it'll be right in front of him 

oh and he has tortoiseshell glasses that he wears for reading or univesity lab sessions super cute stunning

possible plots/connections

people from back home, whether thats childhood friends, family friends, high school nemesis, neighbours, literally anything

biological siblings hes never met

drug buddies/dealer/bad influencer

enemies

hook ups

past lovers

will they wont they romance

friends with benefits

#livingintro #i was evicted out of hte only cold room in the house by two wasps and now im literally melting into the ground #im sat in what i can only imagine to be the flames of hell #ft tommy #{ cd #those tags were from last night....i really....lost it

[balmacedapascal-archive]

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 + kendra! 💕☠️

this got kind of long so i’m gonna put it under a cut but thank you !!!

2. Who do they look to for guidance? 

So before the outbreak, Kendra pretty much always relied on her parents, more so her mom, Christine. For the first eight years or so of her life, it was pretty much just the two of them against the world while Deacon was gone - first for boot camp and then his tour in Afghanistan and then while he figured out how to live civilian life once again. So Christine was the one taking the reins with helping her figure out everything from tying her shoelaces to whether or not it was okay to punch Jake Mathis on the playground. As she got older and Deacon became a more permanent fixture in her world, he was always her go-to guy for anything she wasn’t sure her mom would approve of. All the questions that came with hitting the pre-teen years that most kids don’t normally want to discuss with their parents. After the outbreak, when Rikki found her and brought her back to Lost Lake, Addy was the one who became a bit of a moral compass for her, the one she’d confide in and talk to about whatever was going through her mind. Addy was the one who pulled her slowly out of her shell when she first came to the camp and became a bit of maternal figure for her in the process.

4. Who is someone they’ve hurt? 

Unintentionally, Deacon. When him and Boozer show back up at Lost Lake, it’s a huge shock for her and she winds up keeping her dad at arm’s length. For the past two years, she just assumed he was dead along with everyone else and she’d come to terms with that. Especially after her mom died. She’d accepted the idea that anyone she’d loved before this was gone and that’s just how it was going to be. So when he shows up alive and doing okay, she doesn’t exactly know how to handle it. It’s one thing to live with the knowledge that Deacon was most likely dead. It’s another thing entirely for him to be alive and there to be potential to actually lose him all over again and that sends her to a dark place for a few days and means Deacon doesn’t exactly get the reunion he’d dreamed of.  

6. Would they trust anyone with their secret? 

These days, Kendra doesn’t so much have secrets as she does a desire to just keep her distance from the world. She hasn’t been willing to really let anyone in on what happened between her leaving Farewell and arriving in Lost Lake, mainly because talking about it meant reliving it all and reliving it all was something she didn’t want to dive into. There are a lot of things that she’s kind of locked up and chosen to ignore rather than deal with and the idea of letting someone in on all of that is just a little too scary to her.

8. Is there anyone that they currently aren’t speaking to? Why? 

Pretty much always Skizzo. Shocking no one, the two of them got off on the wrong foot and have been snipping at each other ever since. He looks at her like she’s some punk ass kid who doesn’t know her place and she looks at him like he’s a pile of Freaker shit she accidentally walked through. They’ve almost come to blows on more than one occasion so really no one complains when they choose to just ignore each other instead.

10. Sacrifice the one to save many, or save the one no matter the cost? 

At this point, she’d be more inclined to save the rare people she still genuinely loves than worry about the good of the many. It’s not something she’s proud of, it goes against a lot of what her mom taught her growing up. But after having lost so much, she’d do just about anything to protect the people she loves. She’s made her peace with that fact and is prepared to do whatever if shit goes down and she has to make the call.

12. What is the fastest way to upset them? 

Bringing up Christine. No one at Lost Lake knows what happened with her mom, most of them don’t even know that she’d been traveling with her before Rikki found her. But the few who do know better than to bring her up. Skizzo made the mistake of making some smart ass remark in earshot one day and wound up with the barrel of a pistol pressed  against his temple.

14. What is something that never fails to make them excited? 

Jack didn’t just help Boozer when Deek came back with the little puppy to join their family. When Kendra had been a little kid she’d begged both of her parents for a dog but the answer had always been no. So the fact that they found a healthy little pup in the middle of all this shit gave her some semblance of hope that maybe there was some good left. And she’s gotten diligent when she’s out on supply runs about trying to track down as many goodies as she can find for him.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone has done for them? 

For Kendra, romance wasn’t exactly something she dealt with before the outbreak. She’d still been in the early days of being interested in dating and with a badass biker dad scaring off any potential suitors she definitely didn’t have any dates before the end of the world. But there’s been one person who’s tried getting closer to her since she joined Iron Mike’s camp and that’s Nico. It’s all been subtle little things so far, just bringing back extra stuff from runs for her but there was one night when he showed up a container of hot chocolate he’d found in a cabin, still factory sealed and everything. It was the first time he’d actually given her anything instead of just leaving it in a little box by the door of her cabin and they wound huddled close by her little stove, drinking hot chocolate and pretending that things were a little more normal for a bit.

18. Neck kisses or shoulder kisses? 

Shoulder kisses. She’s got a nasty scar that starts just below her jaw and goes all the way down her clavicle from the Ripper who’d wanted to carve her up before Rikki found her and honestly she hates anyone touching it. Most days she has it covered as much as possible with extra layers and high collars. And when it is visible, she doesn’t want anyone paying any attention to it.

20. Would they be the one to propose, the one hoping for a proposal, or no interest in marriage/the equivalent thereof? 

For the most part, Kendra was never super interested in marriage. She blamed the fact that her parents never got married, that they were already separated when she was born. Sure she got involved when it came to Deacon and Sarah’s wedding, partly because she was excited that Sarah wanted her involved after some of the stories she’d heard from her friends with step-parents and partly because she was amazed that her dad had even entertained the idea of marriage at all.

22. How indecisive are they? 

Not really indecisive at all. These days there isn’t a lot of time for indecision. You either do something or you don’t and you deal with whatever consequence comes afterwards. If anything she’s gotten more trouble from being impulsive than indecisive.

24. What do they think they’re good at, but aren’t? 

Pretty much anything mechanical. She has a basic knowledge from the years she spent hanging out with her dad at work and watching him tinker away with the bikes but at the end of the day she doesn’t really have to skills needed to keep her bike in top shape. She can do a few basic repairs on the road if she needs to but anything too complicated and she’ll have to go see Rikki or Buzz to get it fixed up.

26. What is something they’re legitimately bad it? 

Fishing. Rikki has been trying to teach her how to fish since she first arrived at Lost Lake but it’s been pretty much a lost cause since the first day. Everything from tying on the lures to pulling in a catch, she’s had virtually no success. Which doesn’t bother her too much considering she tends to get bored about ten minutes in to sitting around with a fishing pole.

28. When left to their own devices, how would they spend a free day? 

When the weather’s nice and things are quiet around camp, she likes just going around the lake, enjoying the peace that the resort  still has even after the end of the world. And if it’s snowing or just too cold out for her preference, she likes to hang out in the main lodge by the big fireplace, staying bundled up with one of the books that’s made its way to their makeshift library.

30. What is their ideal sleeping situation? 

For peace of mind, she usually can’t fall asleep unless she’s taken a number of precautions. Hunting knife under her pillow, handgun on the stool she’s turned into a makeshift nightstand, chair wedged under the door handle. It seems excessive to most but for her it’s something of a necessity. Once her dad’s back in camp and they’ve gotten past the initial discomfort of neither one knowing how to handle the situation, she’s reverted back to the cuddling she used to do as a child, craving a closeness to one of the few people who’s been there for pretty much all of her life. Deacon never complains even though she’s bigger than when it would happen she was ten. He’s missed his little girl too much to ever really complain.

32. What is their favorite thing to drink? 

Definitely the hot chocolate Nico found for her. She’s pretty much coveted that stuff since he first brought it back and refuses to share it with anyone else. Even Nico only got a cup that first night he brought it back. After that, it was her secret stash, the one little comfort that made her feel more like life before all of this.

34. How do they generally wear their hair? 

Always pulled back. Most often it’s just a ponytail or a bun, something that takes ten seconds or less to fix. On quieter days, she’s let Addy brush her hair out and braid into long French braids or fishtail braids, something that always reminds her of her mom.

36. Are there any holidays or celebrations they dislike? 

There aren’t too many celebrations these days. The closest they get to celebrations are when someone decides to play music in the gazebo or the lodge and everyone kind of gathers round for the night. And she tends to keep her distance on those nights just because everyone crowding up makes her a little nervous.

38. How would you describe their decorating sense? 

Minimalist, for the most part. She tends to not keep anything in her cabin unless it has a purpose so really there isn’t too much in there. They closest she’s come to actually decorating the place are the flowers that Addy brings by every now and then that she keeps on her little table and an old Led Zeppelin poster she found on a run that reminded her of one of the ones she’d seen at the Mongrels clubhouse back in the day.

40. Blanket fort or tree house? 

Blanket forts, all the way. On the very first weekend she stayed with Deacon after he’d officially moved back to Farewell, it had been pouring outside and they’d been pretty much confined to his apartment. After a little deliberating about what they were going to do, Kendra had suggested they make a blanket fort like she did with her mom sometimes. Deacon had no idea what to do but was more than happy to take his little girl’s instructions as they dragged out the spare set of sheets and moved the little furniture he had around until they were both tucked into a fort with an opening just big enough that they could still watch Finding Nemo from in there. For both of them, it’s one of their favorite memories.

55. Something that ruins your appetite?

Um… not much. Honestly being sick is about it.

56. Favorite labels about you?

I try really hard not to pay attention to labels. I know blah so cliche but seriously, I tend to focus on the negative ones so it’s better for me to just not go down this road at all.

57. Are you a religious person?

I can't say that I am, no. I believe things happen for a reason but as for a higher power being in control of that…. Not so much no.

58. Night out with a bunch of friends in public or night in with one friend having deep conversations?

Lately it's been the latter but I enjoy a night out with a group of people as well. I have zero alliances with this one, both are enjoyable for their separate reasons.

59. What size shoe do you wear?

8. I'm average af.

60. Favorite thing about yourself?

I don't really take shit from most people. I think that's mostly a good thing. Mostly.

61. Have you ever told someone you loved them first?

I have not.

62. Have you ever had sex on the first date?

Ha… try sex without a date, but, yes, I have done that too.

63. Heroes or villains?

I’m borderline neutral on this but maybe tend to teeter more toward villain overall

64. Favorite fruit?

Pomegranates

65. Least favorite fruit?

Oranges, actually, not a fan. I know, weird.

66. Favorite vegetable?

Carrots

67. Least favorite vegetable?

Peas

68. How many plates can you eat at a buffet?

I probably average three. One round, second round for seconds or missed maybe items, if I have room that and then dessert.

69. Favorite dessert?

I like mushy desserts. Mousse, ice cream, cheesecake, pie… I have a sweet tooth but favorite is probably tiramisu.

70. Do you play any sports?

I don't know if it's a sport but I like flying. For no-maj things I’d probably go track and field. 

71. Age you learned how to swim?

3? Does anyone actually know the number for these sorts of things. I was very young.

72. Tell a funny story.

My littlest sister was going up the stairs and I heard a thud. I yelled, “You ok?” and she responded, “Yeah, uhh, I just a little clumsy, uhh... I fell on da stairs.” 

73. What’s one interesting thing about your culture?

Um... I’ll get back to you on this one.

74. What’s one annoying thing about your culture?

Everyone’s got their head up their ass. 

75. What job would you be terrible at?

Waitressing... lol 

76. Would you rather watch a TV show or a movie?

TV Show. There are very few movies I get super jazzed for. I think 90% of them are Marvel.

77. What’s your favorite compliment to give?

I’m really awkward about compliments actually.

78. What’s your favorite compliment to receive?

Yup, still awkward.

79. Has your opinion changed on something recently?

Not recently no, but I am open to other people’s opinions and hearing the other side of something. I may not always show this truth, but you can’t grow if you don’t try and hear someone else’s perspectives on things. 

80. Do you always order the same thing at a restaurant or order something different each time?

Depends on the restaurant. I try to order new things but there are places I definitely have a regular order, especially if I don't go to that place often.

81. What’s something you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t yet?

So many things. I have a nearly endless bucket list in my head of things I want to do. Shark diving is the most recent one to make the list.

82. If you could learn to do anything right now, what would it be?

Pottery. Specifically on a potters wheel. It seems like it’d be a fun challenge.

83. Favorite physical feature about yourself?

My hair.

84. Least favorite physical feature about yourself?

My hands

85. What’s one amazing thing you did that nobody was around to see?

I caught a thrown pen perfectly upright once in class. Snagged it out of the air like nothing and nobody saw it happen. The only time I had mad skills like that. 

86. If you could change your height, would you?

No. I'm good with 5'6"

87. What’s something you would rate 10/10?

Ooh, um... pfft. I dunno. 

88. Heels or flats?

Flats. I love fashion but I also enjoy comfort. Though, heels definitely have a place.

89. What’s something you wish you had more knowledge about?

Art. I have a very basic knowledge. I’ve mostly figured shit out on my own when it comes to painting but I do appreciate what others create and would love to know more.  

90. Would you want to know when you'll die?

No, I don’t think I would. I feel like that would taint things knowing when it would all stop.

91. Would you want to be famous?

I'm thinking by proxy is enough for me, honestly.

92. What’s something you would get arrested for?

Protecting someone I care about.

93. What’s your spirit animal?

That’s basically a patronus right? So: hippogriff

94. What’s the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to you?

Nik, he'd disagree but he's wrong.

95. Are you the type to have an organized mess, or no mess at all?

Organized mess. My whole life is compiled of organized messes.

96. Do you tend to make decisions based on the past, present, or future?

Present. I don't often think very far into the future because it's impossible to predict and dwelling on the past can lead to forgetting to live at all. Now is the most important moment you have.

97. Are you a planner or a more spontaneous person?

Spontaneous, if my previous answer shows anything it's that.

98. Thoughts on the oxford comma?

Valid option. I am a cautionary user of the Oxford comma. No accidentally eating grandmother's here. Lol

99. What do you hope never changes?

I don't think I would ever hope for something not to change. I want to keep the people I care about but I wouldn't wish for my relationships to grow stagnant by refusing change.

100. How would you celebrate your 100th birthday?

Fucking party!!! Giant cake, loud music. All my people with me. A rager like I'm young and vibrant because dammit celebrating life is important, especially if you're getting that close to death.

Cutie Reviews: Tokyo Treat May 19

Hello, welcome to our next review :3 today we’ll be looking at the May Tokyo Treat. I’m going to point out now that i was a little disgruntled by some details in this specific box- but I will still fairly access everything as usual.

(You probably recognize the DIY item there, I won’t be reviewing it because I already have, and have gotten it numerous times since <_<)

“We’re so excited for you to try this month’s mixture of snacks. Doesn’t the crisp air and budding springtime flowers make you just want to devour some juicy fruit and enjoy their sweet flavors? You’re in luck, because this month we’ve got some yummy fruity flavors in a variety of sweet treats! We’ve also got some delicious savory snacks in store for you! Are you ready? We can’t wait for you to enjoy this months Tutti Fruity box!“

Lucky Treat

This month, the Lucky Treat is full of adorable Rilakkuma goods ranging from cuddly to practical school and kitchen items, many of which feature Rilakkuma hanging out with his friends and visiting various places. 

May Prize

Meanwhile, the contest is all about Gudetama, featuring two plush for the grand prize winner, and Gudetama cookies for the runner-ups.

--------

Fanta Banana Yogurt Mix

Our first item (see pic on top) is the Banana Yogurt Fanta we were supposed to get in the previous box, but due to the “exciting release“ of the Sakura-flavored cola, it was pushed back to this box. Which isn’t bad since it still fits with the theme of this box. Made from healthy banana and nutrients, this is a carbonated drink at only 34kcal, making it a great choice for those seeking less-calorie intake.

Rating: ♥ 

Honestly I didn’t even want to give it that heart. I’ve said this several times but I’ll say it again if you might be new, I don’t like bananas, and I especially HATE the taste of artificial banana! I tasted no sort of creamy yogurtness or vanilla or anything else except banana. My parents loved the drink meanwhile, so I let them share it.

BUT in saying that, if you like bananas/artificial banana, you will probably really like this. Even though I disliked it, I never spit out the portion I tried and didn’t think I would throw up (like that takoyaki nightmare from a few boxes ago). So it earned 1 heart for at least not making me hate bananas even more.

Caramel Corn Puffs

I decided to start with this because I’ve had it numerous times and didn’t feel like I needed to entirely review it. The Tohato Caramel Corn is a popular brand that we’ve encountered many times, not only in the original/regular flavor, but in a variety of others.

This time we are receiving the original in “share pack“ form, each bag/10 grams being 56kcal.

These are delicious, lightly crisp caramel-flavored puffs. They are pretty sweet though so unless you have a sweet-tooth, you might find them cloying after a while. They make all sorts of unique sweet flavors, from fruity to desserts like tiramisu and ice cream. I would recommend them and they’re pretty easy to find online.

Curry-flavor Crispy Flakes & Salt and Wasabi Chips

Another item I won’t really be reviewing are these little ramen noodle crispy flakes flavored after curry. Besides snacking on them, they can also be used to top udon or other noodle dishes.

I’m not reviewing this because this is also another item I’ve had a few times- but in comparison to caramel corn, I don’t actually like this one. They have a nice crunchiness and the flavor is strong, but that was why I didn’t like them, I wasn’t into the flavor. This was another item I gave my mom.

-----

Meanwhile, we also have a bag of salt and wasabi chips by Calbee. Now, originally we were supposed to get the Pizza Mayo Mentaiko flavored chips, but due to regulations in meat substances being shipped, it had to be replaced last-second, so we either got the Wasabi chips or the lightly salted.

I was a little disappointed by the change, but at least they were giving us another Calbee brand chip to replace it. These chips (which I have no info on due to the late change not reflected in the book) have a total of 305kcal per-bag.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  

I usually love these chips, but this one I was a little mixed with opinions because I only like wasabi in extremely small doses sometimes. The flavor is pretty strong and bold, and they get spicy the more you eat, and if you love wasabi I’m sure you would really like these. I can’t say they’re my favorite of the brand, but the crunch is great and they still taste good. You also get a lot of foldy chips (the ones that resemble fortune cookies or wontons), which are my favorites~

Also, I discovered they go good with cream cheese :P my favorite sushi is a Philadelphia roll, which is what gave me the idea to try it.

Matcha Chocolate Corn Puffs & Strawberry Rusk

Following those are two more items I have tried before- so I won’t be reviewing them either (I’m sorry but I don’t see the point in writing the same thing, and essentially I’m still reviewing the item...). First are the Matcha Chocolate puffs by Ginbis, a brand known for their delicious star-shaped corn puffs with chocolate baked into them. This specific flavor is a limited edition, so it’s not always available. Each bag is 321kcal.

So... this is pretty much like the banana drink. I hate green tea and these have no sweetness at all. But the texture is a smooth crispiness which I do like, so I usually like this brands products. If you like green tea you’ll probably love these.

-------

Our other item is a strawberry chocolate coated rusk (rusk are baked bread pieces coated in glaze and/or sugar) from Ginza Rusk. These are sweet little biscuits embedded entirely with the strawberry flavor, and each pack is 208kcal; something I find a little unappealing about them when you compare the amount to some of the other items <3<

They’re a light crunch and taste pretty good, but I’m usually not a big fan of these rusk snacks. This one I found more tolerable then usual though; maybe they’re starting to grow on me.

Chobo Chobo Cookies & Sakura Japanese Sake KitKat.

These little baked, puffy cookies are made from a traditional recipe and are known for melting in ones mouth. Their bags feature all sorts of adorable little character variations, and each bag is 62kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥

I don’t know what they put in these but they aren’t my most favorite thing. They remind me a lot of something I don’t like, but I haven’t had said thing in a really long time so I don’t remember what it was...

All things considered they do melt in your mouth though.

-----

Next is another unique KitKat, featuring the fresh sakura (cherries) and Japanese sake (alcohol). These are limited edition and out in time to celebrate Hanami (cherry blossom viewing). You get 12 mini-sets per usual, and each one is 63kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

They have a lovely pink color (its my favorite shade in fact) and as soon as you eat them you taste the sake and a perfumey cherry- it reminds me of a fresh powdery bath product from Avon. But as strange as that is, I actually kinda like it. I’m not sure if they put alcohol in these, but I’m assuming they might soak the wafer in it or something.

New Mochitaro Puffs & Sugar Rusk Umaibo

These are our last crunchy snacks presented in this months box. First is the Mochitaro Puffs, which are small, bite-sized crispy snacks. I couldn’t find the calories on this, and these are basic salted. 

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

There isn’t too much flavor in these compared to the other snacks in the box, but the saltiness is noticeable, without being too intense. I kind of like how they aren’t as bold as the other snacks though, it’s a nice change of pace. They sort of remind me of the regular/plain Bugles.

------

We also have our monthly Umaibo; this time in a sweet sugary rusk flavor. It has a buttery sweetness in scent, and each stick is 43kcal. If you’re interested in trying Umaibo, they’re super-easy to find online; I’d recommend them but they can become Addictive!

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

In terms of favorites, it doesn’t make my top 3- but it would probably make my top 10. It’s really good, it reminds me of buttery pretzel sticks, I would recommend it if you want something crispy and sweet.

Strawberry Lollipop & Strawberry Mochi

I love strawberries, so I was overall happy to see a few strawberry items in this box- even if I’m not hugely into rusk. First up we have a basic strawberry lollipop with a Hello Kitty package. There are multiple packages, each with a cute little game on the back, like for example mine has a “find the matching flower“ game. Each lollipop is 22.8kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Tastes like typical Japanese strawberry candy, which is a little different than American strawberry candy in most cases. It’s not a realistic flavor, but I really like it. I swear I get a little hint of watermelon or peach in it too.

------

Our next item is an actual Mochi :3 these are very rare in this box, I can’t recall if we ever had t before or not... but I do like mochi. It’s become pretty popular where I live as of late, especially ice cream ones, but I think I prefer the basic snacking ones more.

With this little pack you get two, adorable baby mochi~ I couldn’t find calories on them either. But as you can see in the pick, each one has a marshmallow-like inside with strawberry cream or jelly in the middle.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Dissecting it, you don’t get much flavor or taste but its very soft, and just a little sweet. They’re also fun to squeeze and play with, and when you eat it entirely (careful so you don’t choke though >x<) you get a bit of flavor. I can’t say I strongly taste anything but I like it.

Cherry Mochi

If you’ve read my blog before then you might recognize this, this is an alternate Mochi treat and we have had these before- these ones are cherry flavored, and last time they were soda. These are by the brand Kyoshin. I couldn’t find calories.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Besides the cute and unique packaging, these also taste good. They’re very different from the other mochi, in that they’re little chewy candies. They taste like normal cherry-flavored candy.

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 5 out of 5. Everything held up and it was all plenty tasty, with the exception of a few items I didn’t really like, but I know catered to those of you who do like the taste would love the items. Nothing tasted stale or old.

Quality - 2 out of 5. I was severely disappointed, not in the quality of the items but the box itself for being extremely repetitive; half of the box had repetitive items, the theme was very repetitive, and the DIY kit was disgracefully repetitive...

Theme - 3 out of 5. A good portion of the box was fairly fruity in going with the theme, and I believe if you’re going to do a theme you should stick with it, and I noticed that the Classic edition of the box caters more towards the theme than the Premium, but this time I thought it was decent. However, as I said above it was pretty repetitive, so I can’t say I enjoyed the theme.

Total Rank: 5 out of 10. Not counting my preference in flavors, I feel like the items were great. Nothing was stale for having sat around a few months (which is a problem sometimes), no quality problems in terms of item damage or issues, but the fruity theme didn’t appeal to me at all because I feel like the box only half-tried in following it, and there was a lot of repetition. I even wanted to justify the DIY but you honestly can’t at this point. I think this is the 3rd time I’ve gotten it recently, and several kits have fruity tastes or themes, there was no excuse for them to give this same DIY kit to us this soon. They quit with the health snacks and everything else that made this box unique and fun, I don’t understand why obtaining equally priced DIY is suddenly so hard.

♥ Cutie’s Scale of Yummy ♥

I’m not doing it this time, I’m kind of in a bad mood now that I wrote that <3< sorry.

Cockadoodledoo, (M//M)

Hey! I’m Jonesy! I’ve posted on here before a few months ago, and I spoke with a number of people about starting RPs, and then some shit happened where I was literally unable to get to the computer, thus vanished for a while. For… four months. Yeah. (Anyone want to know what it’s like to wake up from a coma and get in a fist fight with a nurse because you have no idea what’s going on? Just ask.) Anyhoo, if I had something started with you, or even if we were just talking about starting something, and you want to hit me up again, please do! For time’s sake, I’m just gonna copy/paste part of my last advert, because… coughlazycough.

 I’m in my late 20’s and am looking for M// literate (advanced) rp partners, ages 25+ please. I do not fade to black or avoid mature themes. My writing style has a casual feel to it, but I use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and I prefer that you have a good grasp on this, as well. I write third person paragraph style, and am looking for someone who likes world building and writing three dimensional characters. You know what I mean. If our characters walk into a town, I want to know who else is there, how the buildings are painted, what the air smells like. Take me to it. Paint me a worrrrrrddd pictuuuuureeee. If your character has a Maserati, I want to know how he treats it, how he drives it, and if he has that kind of money, why on EARTH would a Maserati be his car of choice?

 Absolute No’s: ….Well crap, I can never think of these until someone asks.

 Things I don’t like so much:

-Winey characters

-Super young characters

-Unrealistically serious characters

-Too much drama

-Posts that don’t move the story along (sometimes this is ok but not EVERY post…)

-Short posts.

-Spanish dudes (HA just kidding I LOVE spanish dudes.)

 Things I like:

-Spanish dudes

-All dudes

-Size differences

-Humor (Didn’t see that coming, did you?)

-Realistic dialogue*

-Open communication

 Genres I like:

-Sci fi

-Urban

-Steampunk

-Apocalyptical

-Dystopian

-Adventure

-Space stuff (This is its own genre, don’t argue with me.)

-Mild horror

 What I’m really craving right now is to use my character Ashby, and to find him a partner. I do have some other plots I’d like to write, or if you got something completely different and you want to run it by me, let me know! Worse that can happen is I’d say no. And then hunt you down and put sugar in your gas tank. (But mostly just say no.)

 So, Ashby. He’s a very complex character, thus kind of hard to explain while keeping it brief. Ashby Thornton Foster is a real strange creature. Not just because he’s very proper and likes to keep a position as the head butler in a household even though he probably has enough resources to never have to work ever. He’s tall, painfully handsome, with round antique glasses, and auburn hair. Sharp tongue, but can be a little daffy if you catch him off guard. He collects frightening tea pots, has been learning how to cook for 9 billion years but his chicken stew will probably send you to the can for the rest of the night, is excellent with mechanics and spends a lot of his free time tinkering, and has read almost every book ever written but can’t remember what happened in the last chapter of the one he’s currently working on. I should mention that this character is not human. He is a specific species of being that I created myself. I’ll go into it if you’re interested, but the basics are that he has handsomely jagged teeth, large amber eyes, and claw like nails that often lead him to be mistaken as a vampire, however when he shifts out of his human form, he looks more like a sphynx cat and a lady got together. That sounds awful, but he’s actually quite exquisite. (NOT a furry. He just looks a tad strange and has interesting legs.) Ashby is very sweet natured but runs a strict household. He is well respected and well loved.

 Ashby has a dark side to him that’s very calculated, very… intentional, if you know what I mean. He has the ability to make you the happiest person alive, but can turn around and cause you a lot of pain and suffering if you give him reason to. Battling with his darker side is a constant struggle. As far as a romantic interest for him, I usually play him as a switch, however he likes pretty masculine men (or beasties) who have the ability to dominate HIM because he doesn’t often run across many who can do so. (And I don’t just mean with sex. He can physically f*ck you up.) I would love to find him someone who can both talk him out of those times when shit gets a little too dark, but can also overpower him if need be.

 Usually, I play Ashby in a steampunk setting, and he’s the head butler of a household he runs pretty tightly, but I can also play him in other settings. He translates well. So if you’d like to Rp him in another setting, let me know! This character comes with an identical twin (Molocai, who prob won’t appear) and a Soul Eater character, who sets up camp in whatever town he settles in due to being promised his soul whenever he shuffles off his mortal coil. They’re best friends. (It’s a long story.)

 Here were some of the other stories I had ideas for, but if none of them tickle your pickle and you think we’d be a good RP match, let me know, anyway and we can do something else!

Made for one another:

Could fall under sci fi, apocalyptical, dystopian, adventure, hell it could fall under all of them. I have a really loose idea for this one. Two characters are genetically made for one another. Not romantically, but as in two parts that make up a whole. Both are genetically engineered to do something different, but both of their abilities need to be combined for whatever final outcome to happen. (The outcome being what they were created for.) Reasoning behind this was that maybe one person having both abilities, or the one ability that the both of them make up, would overload their system and kill them. Or significantly harm them in some way. Thus, two genetically engineered people were created.

The loose plot I had for this was that maybe one character has escaped the facility that created them. (Escaped a long time ago, perhaps.) This facility has some major unethical and downright inhumane practices (like lab growing people.) Character A. we’ll call him, decides to destroy the place, maybe from the inside out. (Perhaps he’s some kind of mercenary or rogue whatnot, living his life in secrecy so no one from said facility finds him, blah blah.) Ever see Alien Resurrection? With that scene where Ripley goes into the lab and finds all the failed experiments?.... No? Just me? Okay. Anyway, so while Character A. is torching the place, he finds Character B, who is the only experiment alive. He can’t just leave him there to die, so he takes him with him. That’s how they meet, but I don’t have much else for a plot for this story, other than that I see Character A as being kind of an asshole so they struggle a lot and much later they discover they’re literally made for one another.

 Mad Max:

This would be sort of based on the Mad Max world (as in the 2015 movie, even though I do so love the originals) though not using any of the characters, places, or… you know, anything. The world is a wasteland, but it’s not oil/gasoline that’s the hot commodity, it’s water. The wasteland is filled with different tribes, none of them very nice unless you belong to one of them. This pairing would be a character that’s kind of like Max, a lone wolf who belongs to no tribe and wanders, and…. I dunno, I guess he would be a POW? He’s a warrior from another tribe that was captured. Character A stops (cautiously) in one of the territories to trade for water and supplies. Character B is pretty roughed up and knows he’ll eventually end up dying if he doesn’t get away somehow, so his main objective is to get Character A to trade for him. Obviously, this eventually happens. Character A discovers that Character B has something that would be useful to him (maybe it’s just knowledge of mechanics and whatnot) so he ends up trading for him. Plot twist! They end up HATING one another. And maybe Character A finds out that Character B was lying all along and can’t really do the thing Character A traded him for, however now they’re stuck together, because they’re crossing the wasteland.

 Space Pirates (Totally not nerdy AT ALL.)

I have a space captain. He’s an alien. He has a super cool space ship and a super cool crew. His species is rarely seen in this part of the galaxy, usually they are a very secretive race living in deep, deep space, that remain secluded, however Janka has been exiled, and now creates a lot of havoc and headaches for anyone he encounters. I have a real old descrip of him from… jesus, like 2010 that I haven’t updated, but I’ll send it if he sounds interesting! Anyway, he’s a sarcastic, lazy sh*tface, kinda pretty gross without meaning to be, but he’s a real loveable character. Likes blowing things up. Kind of clumsy, which isn’t the best thing for someone who’s built like he is. He’s well known in space ports all over, so he sticks to the real shady ones, where he’s somewhat popular. This character comes with an entire crew, and bonus interesting genitalia. He really needs someone to take care of him (emotionally.) Very hard headed when it comes to relationships (“What? No, I didn’t get you anything for your birthday. You said not to get you anything.”) but when he falls for someone, he falls hard.

 *Please note that all of my characters are usually in their late twenties or older with VERY few that are mid-twenties. I also do not play with younger characters, and prefer them to be around the same age category.

 *Let me explain about the realistic dialogue. Two OC’s walk into a bar. My OC walks up to the bartender and says “Ay, Sugartits, I’ll have the usual.” Your OC says “I will have a beer.” Unless your OC is either a.) An android or b.) Two 12 year olds in a big coat, or c.) Horribly constipated, he’d better say something an actual human being would say. “I’ll have a beer.” “Gimme a beer.” “Just whatever you got on tap.” “Uh… Beer’s fine.” Don’t make your character sound like they’re reading a bad script.

 If I haven’t scared you off, shoot me an email at [email protected]

My RP mediums are usually Skype, Email, and I can be persuaded into Discord.

 And just to clarify. Gay RP. Plot before Porn. Thank you

(For @jemchew, from @regretful-otome)

1. Usagi.

“My name is Yahiko.” The boy beside Lord Kenshin was tiny. Smaller than everyone in the castle, almost the same height as Kanetsugu, but somehow smaller.

In other words, Yahiko was positively tiny compared to himself. He didn’t want to fight the small boy, he would crush him, so Kageie didn’t go out of his way to make friends with the tiny boy.

He… fit in somehow. A bit awkward in the way all growing boys who weren’t quite adults yet were, but alright.

Also, he was very jumpy.

It was like they had gotten a rabbit.

2. Oishī.

A small rabbit that could cook he amended a few days after his introduction. He was much better than the other castle cooks so hopefully, they got to keep him, if only for his food.

He could make kusa-mochi edible. He made Tsugutsugu’s bitter kusa-mochi sweet like they were supposed to be. A relief for his taste buds because Tsugutsugu was fast when it came to making others eat them.

“Yakko, food.” He plopped his head on top of his, his hair was soft, and tossed his arms over those tiny shoulders.

He barely stumbled with his weight this time.

3. Houchou.

Yakko would be very good with a tantou he decided, watching the swift cuts he made to the fish. No hesitation. A good thing on the battlefield.

“Hey, Yakko, want me to teach you how to fight?”

“No.”

That was a shame. He was small. And fast from the few times he had seen Yakko run.

“Are you sure? I’ll go easy on you.” He offered. Tsugutsugu was starting to get boring. And Yocchi never wanted to spar.

He blinked and stared down at the blade that was pointed at his throat.

“No.”

Kitchen knives suited Yakko’s hands more.

4. Kasa.

“You’re so small.” It was part complaint and part… he didn’t mind how small he was, compliment, observation?

But this was starting to hurt his back a little. If he straightened his back, the umbrella would be too high to cover Yakko and the rain was pretty heavy.

Not to mention, both of their feet were already covered in mud and their hakama were getting wet.

“Sorry about this.”

He seemed light enough.

“Yakko, hold this.” He handed the umbrella to him and then picked the smaller man up.

“Kageie-san!”

“Kakki.” He corrected. “We’re friends, so call me Kakki.”

5. Yomu.

Yakko was staring blankly at the scroll. Like he didn’t know what to do with it.

But, he was a commoner. Not a samurai or a noble.

“Yakko, do you know how to read?”

“… no.” Just as he thought.

“I’ll teach you how!” Yocchi popped his head onto Yakko’s and started pointing at the scroll. “This kanji is-”

“Yocchi, he needs to learn kana first before kanji.” His teacher hadn’t been merciful when teaching him the Chinese characters, but he could at least make sure Yakko didn’t suffer too much learning. “I’ll get some books for him.”

6. Okaeri.

“Kakki, you’re super lucky, you know.” He eyed Yocchi as he led him and his group somewhere after their wounds were treated. Rear guard was fun. The injuries not so much.

“What are you talking about? You want to join us?” Laughing, Yocchi shook his head and slide a door open.

A feast. There was no better word for it. It looked good for what wasn’t covered.

And there was a familiar form in the corner, fast asleep.

“When Yakko heard you were coming, he asked Lord Kenshin for permission to make a feast to welcome you back with.”

7. Moku.

“What is this for?” His stare was almost accusing. No doubt he still remembered their conversation in the kitchen.

Yakko didn’t want to fight. But that didn’t mean he should be defenseless.

“You’re too weak.” But still sturdy. “Some defense never hurts.”

A practice sword would hurt, but not in a permanent manner.

Just enough for him to get away.

“I still don’t want to fight.”

“But I won’t always get there in time, Yakko.” Good, Yocchi could do this. “We want you to be able to defend yourself a little, so please?”

He crumpled like paper in no time.

8. Ue.

He woke to a blanket being placed on him and a shadow cast over him.

Wordlessly, he lifted his arm up. An invitation. One he didn’t offer often.

“I have to help with lunch.”

He frowned. Yakko’s food was good and people would get upset if he deprived them of his cooking. So he just sighed and settled back under his blanket which was a haori. But too big to be Yakko’s. Who could have given Yakko one then?

Too much effort to think about he decided, closing his eyes again.

It smelled like sandalwood and felt like sunset.

9. Amai.

The first time Tsugutsugu offered his weapon-grade kusa-mochi, he was unaware. Afterwards, he ran, but that rarely stopped Tsugutsugu. Honestly, they should just equip Tsugutsugu with his food and let him throw them at the enemy. Or feed them. He was such an aggressive feeder.

The first time after Yakko’s arrival, the kusa-mochi was sweet for once.

Just like all the other sweets leaving Yakko’s kitchen.

He wondered what it said about him when he took to napping near the kitchen in order to wake up to a plate of sweets nearby with a pot of tea and a cup.

10. Neru.

He was pleasantly surprised when he woke up in a small human curled up under his haori. Or rather, one under and the other leaning on the wall right by him. It was rare for Yakko to not have a shadow called Ai behind him.

They were both so small that his haori easily covered both of them. It was warm enough he didn’t need it to nap.

Kanetsugu couldn’t scold them. He wouldn’t. He was oddly fond of Yakko though that might have had something with the way Ai followed him around.

A nap would be good for them.

11. Tōrō.

“Kakki-san,” Opening his eyes, he was met with soft lantern light being cast on the floor and Yakko looking down on him. “You missed dinner.”

Giving the smaller man a look, he deliberately dragged his eyes from his to the tray in his hand.

The action got him a giggle and the tray moved in front of him.

“Itadakimasu.”

It wasn’t bad. Eating on the veranda with a lantern’s light and Yakko’s quiet presence.

Perhaps he should keep doing this.

“Kanetsugu-san seemed annoyed with you not coming to dinner.”

Or maybe he shouldn’t. An irritated Kanetsugu was feared by all.

12. Kage.

Officially, Yakko was a page. Kenshin’s page. Or Kanetsugu’s depending on who snagged him first. And a cook.

Unofficially, as in Ai had decided it and no one ever denied her anything that wasn’t dangerous, he was Ai’s main caretaker.

Though, watching the two of them hang laundry up to dry from his spot on the roof, Ai looked like she could have been Yakko’s little sister. Or daughter if he was a little older.

“Nii-san, can we make mochi for Father today?”

“Of course.”

He was good with kids. Did he have a little sister in the capital?

13. Himitsu.

Yakko had secrets. And he wasn’t very good at hiding their existence. He supposedly had an older sister and a mother back in the capital. If anything, Yakko seemed more like Kanetsugu than Yocchi so did he have another sibling?

Not like it was in his position to pry when Yakko was mostly harmless. Unless it involved his kitchen.

Yakko was very good at not revealing his secrets.

“B-b-breasts!” Tsugutsugu covered Yocchi’s mouth before he could get louder.

Except, he couldn’t hide this one after falling into the pond. Then, loud stomps came before them.

“What is going on here?”

14. Shiragiku.

Well, in hindsight, he supposed it made sense. Yakko was built more like a willow and so light compared to even Kanetsugu, he had worried he wasn’t eating enough.

The wet clothes clinging to her frame made it quite obvious a woman had been underneath them.

“You’re soaked!” Grabbing a towel, Kanetsugu started to pat her dry. Not even blinking at her gender. He probably knew from the start.

So why did he let her stay? Did Kenshin know?

“Don’t just stand there! Get me another towel!”

Too troublesome to think about it now he decided, getting another towel.

15. Bijin.

“Yep, Yahiko’s a woman.”

So Kenshin knew too.

“Women are forbidden in the castle.”

“She’s here for Ai. Kanetsugu figured she could use some feminine influence in her life.” Then why weren’t they told in the first place?

The shifting and frowning meant he wasn’t the only one to think that.

“Yakko’s still Yakko.” Yoshichi decided with a firm nod. “So where is she?”

“Lord Kenshin?”

“Come in.”

The door to the main hall slide open.

Her still somewhat damp hair clung closely to her neck and he could see why they felt the need to hide her.

Pretty.

16. Aho.

Yakko, as she didn’t mind being called that, was an idiot, he decided, for continuing to stay when she could have gone home. It was a castle full of men and one girl, and, now, one woman. “No. Spar with me.”

Oh, wait, it was their own fault for making her feel safe enough that staying was an option. There went Tsugutsugu dragging off his latest victim for a ‘spar.’

More like beating him black and blue. In the name of training so they couldn’t get in trouble.

And Kanetsugu seemed to approve of their methods.

Kenshin didn’t mind either.

17. Ku.

“Kakki-san, I made onigiri. Would you like some?” It was nice to hear her normal voice. Pleasant, not at all hoarse like she pretended it was to hide its high pitch.

“Yeah.” He sat up. Taking one of the balls of rice off the plate, he bit into it when something caught his eye.

Where had she gotten rouge? They always went shopping in town together so he would know if she bought something.

Did Lord Kenshin give it to her?

It was a nice shade.

He should warn Yocchi and Tsugutsugu. They were going to have more work now.

18. Namae.

The only people who knew Yakko’s actual name were Kanetsugu and Lord Kenshin. And no one asked her what her name was.

As if, if they did know, Yakko wouldn’t be one of them anymore.

It would be much more real that she was a she and not simply a beautiful man like Lord Kenshin. And happened to dress like a woman.

“Hey,”

“Yes, Kakki-san?”

“Your real name, what is it?”

Looking around and then gesturing him to lean down, it felt like she was telling him a secret.

Something private she was going to share just with him.

19. Nyuu.

It was dumb. It was no secret that Lord Kenshin was fond of Yakko. He doted on her constantly as evident by her growing collection of hair accessories and fine kimono. In addition to his habit to escaping the castle with her.

Lady Uesugi, they whispered in the halls. The rumors were flying around.

Before he didn’t pay attention to them, but these ones irked him.

Now he was downright irritated.

He wasn’t surprised by the fact that Lord Kenshin liked to do her hair.

It was the fact that he minded that surprised him.

It was just a hairstick.

20. Atsui.

Too hot to nap. Way too hot, even in the shade. Especially near the kitchen.

“Yakko,” He whined. From outside the kitchen, right where he could start to feel the heat. It was almost dinner time so it was hot from the flames.

“Yes?” Soft, but quick footsteps signaled her arrival.

… perhaps he shouldn’t have called her outside.

The sheen of sweat on her skin caught the setting sun’s light and there goes a drop down her neck and into… her… cleavage.

She looked good regardless of the weather.

“I want sweets.”

“After dinner if you’re still awake.”

21. Suki.

He wasn’t an idiot. He was very familiar with emotions contrary to what his comrades might think. He was a rather simple man. None of that complicated denial stuff.

The worst that could happen was Lord Kenshin taking offence in the scenario that she was his lover.

He might die.

But that was highly unlikely since she wasn’t the type to get retribution for anything.

Except messing with her kitchen.

“Kakki-san?”

He gestured to the spot beside him on the veranda and waited until she was seated.

“I love you.”

Oh, her surprised squeak was adorable. Along with that blush.

22. Aka.

“You can’t just say that!”

“I just did.”

He could wait until her stammered retorts ended. Except it didn’t look like she would be done anytime soon.

Softly, he called her name, putting a stop to her voice.

“I love you.” He repeated calmly. As calmly as he could with his heart thumping louder than usual. “I liked Yakko, now I love you.”

Well, her blush and attempt to hide behind her hands seemed like a good response.

It wasn’t a rejection yet.

“Well?”

“I… love you… too.”

“I can’t kiss you with your hands in the way.”

15 Rarest and Most Valuable SNES Games

https://ift.tt/3kxqzMv

While many of those who grew up with the Super Nintendo (arguably Nintendo’s greatest console) wouldn’t trade their memories of it away for anything, the 30 years since the console’s North American release have made it clear that the value of its incredible library of games goes well beyond nostalgia.

At a time when the market for collectible video games is going through an unbelievable boom period, retro gamers everywhere are taking mental and physical inventory of their classic game collections in the hopes (or horror) of discovering that one of the games they owned is secretly worth a fortune. At the risk of disappointing some, though, it turns out that many of the SNES’ most valuable games are only valuable because so few people owned them.

Yet, in the case of the SNES, we start to see the emergence of a few titles that may be considered all-time classics now but are actually somewhat rare and quite valuable simply because relatively fewer people gave them a chance at the time. Maybe there are some downsides to having one of the most diverse and incredible video game libraries in the history of the industry…

Before we dive into the list, though, here are a few points to consider regarding the selection process:

This list primarily focuses on genuinely rare titles rather than pristine versions of common titles that are prized solely for their condition. 

There are many SNES games that sell for the same basic prices, so consider this a sampling of the most desirable and rare SNES games on the market in various price ranges. 

The two numbers next to each game represent their “loose” price (meaning “cartridge only” in pretty much any condition) and the highest price they currently sell for if they are in pristine condition.

15. Chrono Trigger – $200 to $1,300

This certainly isn’t the rarest or most valuable SNES game in the world (clearly), but what makes this game’s relatively high market value so fascinating is that much of its current value can be attributed to the fact that it’s arguably the greatest RPG ever made. 

Chrono Trigger’s price has only gone up over the years as more people become aware of this RPG’s timeless quality. While fairly recent digital re-releases have reduced its market value somewhat, you’re still going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to get a boxed copy of this undeniable classic. 

14. Mega Man X3 – $300 to $1,100

While this game’s initially surprising status as one of the rarest and most valuable SNES games can partially be attributed to the sustained popularity of the Mega Man franchise over the years, it turns out that this is actually just a genuinely rare cartridge. 

See, Mega Man X3 utilized a special in-cartridge Cx4 graphics chip that made it much more visually impressive than many of the other games of its era but also reportedly made it more expensive/difficult to produce. While it’s true that X2 utilized similar technology, X3’s late release date (December 1995) is likely part of the reason why relatively few people owned it compared to previous franchise entries. 

13. Earthbound – $350 to $3,500

I highly recommend reading the full story of Earthbound’s bizarre release and subsequent rarity, but the gist of it is that this game was poorly promoted, expensive, and downright weird. Not a lot of people actually owned it, and fewer people still bothered to preserve their copy of it during the many years that Earthbound was denied the recognition it deserved.

Put it all together, and you’ve got one of the most coveted SNES games among collectors. While you can occasionally find a good deal on a “loose” copy in decent condition, don’t even think of trying to snag a “big box” copy of this one unless you’re willing to spend nearly $1,000.

12. Castlevania: Dracula X – $350 to $1,900

This is kind of a weird title so far as rare retro games go. While Castlevania: Dracula X appeared to be widely available to anyone who wanted it, the issue seems to have been that not many people wanted to buy this game. Some reports suggest that Dracula X sold less than 100,000 copies, which makes it one of the worst-selling Castlevania games ever.

However, as the Castlevania franchise grew in popularity and people more people came to appreciate Dracula X’s brand of maddeningly difficult retro gameplay, prices for these cartridges rose appropriately. 

11. Harvest Moon – $400 to $1,800

I remember reading about Harvest Moon in Nintendo Power and spending the next several months trying to find a copy of the game. I never did, and it seems a lot of other people never did either. A combination of low initial demand and eventual production shortages meant that Harvest Moon didn’t even find its way into the hands of those who actively looked for it. 

Years later, the growing popularity of this franchise and the many titles it helped inspire (most notably Stardew Valley) made Harvest Moon a true collector’s item. 

10. Rendering Ranger R2 – $600 to $4,000

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably never heard of this SNES game until roughly this very moment. Well, it turns out there are a couple of very good reasons why this game lingered in obscurity for many years. Not only was it a Japan-only release, but some reports suggest that as few as 10,000 copies of this game were ever in circulation.

While that’s enough to make copies of Rendering Ranger R2 incredibly valuable, it doesn’t hurt that it also turns out that its strange blend of R-Type and Contra gameplay makes it one of the best SNES action games you’ve (obviously) probably never played. 

9. Batman Forever (Woolworth’s Box Set) – $600 to $4,200

I’m not sure why you would ever want to own Batman Forever for the SNES (even though I once did), but if you were a fan of the film and lived in the PAL region, then there’s a small chance you might have snagged a very special copy of this game from Woolworth’s that came with a VHS tape, stickers, diary, and an admittedly amazing box. 

If you were one of the few who bought the special edition of this game from Woolworth’s, then I hope you’ve held on to it over the years. It wasn’t until recently that copies of this game sold for less than $1,000, though it seems you might be able to theoretically grab one for closer to $600. 

8. Aero Fighters – $950 to $1,500

This is another strange case of an SNES game that’s actually very, very good but was so obscure and underproduced at the time of its release that few people ever even had the chance to buy and play it. 

Honestly, it seems like you might not even be able to get a loose copy of this game for less than $1,000 these days. While I wouldn’t advise going quite that far to play this largely underrated SNES game, it is another fascinating case of a game that probably deserved more love that’s certainly getting it now from video game collectors.

15 SNES Games That Deserve a Sequel

By Matthew Byrd

7. Hagane: The Final Conflict – $1,000 to $2,000

Hagane remains a bit of a mystery among many video game collectors. While some say that this action title was only ever available via Blockbusters, others claim that it was actually sold elsewhere in incredibly small quantities. 

Whatever the case, I can confidently say that this genuinely rare SNES title has certainly retained its value over the years. It certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s actually one of the most underrated action games of its era. 

6. MACS Multipurpose Arcade Combat Simulator – $1,350 to $3,500

So, it turns out that the U.S. Army once developed a game (no, not that one) designed to help train soldiers shoot an M16. Strangely, they decided to make the game playable on the Super Nintendo and even designed a gun accessory that looked and felt like an M16 (and even weighed about the same), but was based on the same technology that powered the NES Zapper. 

I’m not sure how effective that training technique actually was, but I can tell you that one of the very few copies of this game that were ever actually produced typically sells for well over $1,000. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to find out who approved and developed this game and how many of those military-grade SNES consoles were just used to play Mario Kart. 

5. Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally/Speed Racer – $1,350 to $4,000

Many of the games made exclusively for failed or generally unpopular accessories tend to be “rare,” but few tie-in games from this era are nearly as valuable as this double-feature exercise game bundle designed to work with Life Fitness bikes. 

While both of the games in this package are individually valuable, it’s the full bundle that commands absurd prices. Some people say that this game was never actually released via traditional retail outlets, but what we know for sure is that you’re going to have to pay a lot to buy a copy of it now.

4. Star Fox Super Weekened Cartridge – $1,400 to $2,200

In the ‘90s, Nintendo and Blockbuster joined forces to host a series of gaming tournaments and competitions. For the purposes of these events, Blockbuster rolled out a series of special SNES cartridges that usually featured special labels that reflected their association with the event. Some were eventually given to winners, some were given away by Nintendo Power, and some found their way into the homes of Blockbuster employees. 

The Star Fox Super Weekend cartridge isn’t the most valuable of its kind (more on that in a bit), but it is a genuinely rare game that commands incredibly high prices on the reseller market. It sounds like the only reason this one isn’t even more valuable is that Blockbuster/Nintendo never produced retail packaging for the special cartridge. However, that wasn’t always the case with these games…

3. Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge – $2,100 to $5,000

Much like the Star Fox cartridge, this special edition of Donkey Kong Country was used exclusively for Blockbuster competitions. However, it’s believed that even fewer copies of this game were ever produced, and, more importantly, Blockbuster and Nintendo made a special clamshell case for this game that is even rarer than the cartridge itself. 

So while this cartridge is valuable on its own in pretty much any condition, the real prize is finding a copy of the game that’s still in that clamshell case. It’s not known how many authentic copies of this game are still in their original cases, but we may be talking about just a handful of genuine articles.

2. Nintendo Campus Challenge 1992 – $4,000 to $10,000

Yes, just as they did for the NES, Nintendo once held a series of Super Nintendo-based gaming competitions across various U.S. colleges. They also once again created a special series of cartridges for the purposes of these competitions which contained modified versions of popular SNES games (Super Mario World, F-Zero, and Pilotwings). Those cartridges were supposed to be destroyed after the competition. 

However, it’s believed that at least three of the cartridges survived the hardware purge. This is one of those cases where the value of the game is probably being undersold for the simple fact that the few current owners haven’t decided to part with their copies in recent years, but this is undoubtedly one of the most valuable SNES cartridges in existence. 

1. Nintendo Powerfest 1994 – $18,000 to ?

In 1994, Nintendo decided to host a special event called Powerfest that was essentially the SNES version of the old Nintendo World Championships. Just as they did with that event (and for the Campus Challenges), Nintendo designed a special cartridge designed to run “competition” versions of Super Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and, strangely, Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. Only about 30 of those cartridges were ever made, and the cartridge itself is more of a tech prototype than a “retail” SNES cartridge. 

Powerfest 1994 couldn’t quite replicate the success of the Nintendo World Championships, and the special cartridge used for Powerfest was considered to be less valuable at the time largely didn’t look as cool as that amazing Nintendo World Championship cartridge. Interestingly, the Powerfest cartridge is generally still considered to be less valuable than its NES equivalent, though it’s obviously still worth a ton of money. 

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

This is another one of those cases where it’s difficult to say just how valuable this “cartridge” really is because the game is so incredibly rare. It’s believed that there are only two left in the world, but their owners have had a tough time selling them in the past. Given shifts in this market, though, it’s honestly not unreasonable to suspect that they could attract a six-figure price.

WHAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ABOUT PARENTS

And you know what? The crazy legal measures that the labels and studios have been taking have a lot of money to implement it. So for any given team of founders, would it not pay to wait till the economy is so bad is making the same mistake as the people who thought during the Bubble all I have to think about other things.1 Business types prefer the most popular languages because they view languages as standards.2 The problem is that once you start raising money, for example. Though actually there is something druglike about them, in the best case you do it by fixing the things in the language, so you should know what the laws are and don't have time to find out. Curiously, however, the works of Plato and Aristotle became revered texts to be mastered and discussed. And my theory explains why they'd tend to be people I know personally, but it only caught 92% of spam, with 1. And you know what? Startups are marginal.

Starting startups is harder than you expect, but you're not going to starve. I can't and they won't make you do anything in the grownup world either. There's a kind of summer program. It is true that all they really care about performance. Someone ignorant but smart will come along and reinvent everything, and in return, you'll never allow yourself to do a half-assed job. And of course if you really get it, you probably never will. You not only have to solve a lot of other ambitious and technically minded people—probably more concentrated than you'll ever be again.3 For example, suppose you're just two founders and you want to start a startup at 30.4 Founders usually have a fairly informal atmosphere, and there's always a lot that needs to be done.5

Societies eventually develop antibodies to addictive new things.6 What makes good food? His response was to launch Wittgenstein at it, with dramatic results.7 Nearly every startup that fails, fails by running out of money. It takes a conscious effort to seek out the smartest people and get them to come and work for you?8 When things are hard to understand because the writer was unclear in his own mind from something like a mathematical proof that's hard to understand because the writer was unclear in his own mind from something like a mathematical proof that's hard to understand, people who propose new checks almost never consider that the check itself has a cost. Parents will die for their kids. So subtract a third from 16. And since risk is usually proportionate to reward, if you have to love it. I wouldn't be surprised if most programs started as throwaway programs. Signalling risk smells like one of those few things she wore all the time.

Can you cultivate these qualities? Whereas if you start a startup? The chance of getting rejected after the full partner meeting averages about 25%. I first learned Lisp, what I liked most about it was that it considered me an equal partner. The same mix of denial and wishful thinking that underlies most mistakes founders make. If nuclear winter really is here, it may become common for people to relive experiences without any goal in mind, simply to learn from mistakes. The users in this case are those critical few thousand people you'd like to work. The trick I recommend is to take yourself out of the third world. A country that wants startups will probably also have to be designed for bad programmers. Why would I do that?9 Perhaps this was the sort of spin added by politicians is woven through it. Try to get yourself into situations where the most urgent problems are ones you want to attract to your silicon valley like to get you to spend money on some kind of answer for, but not the co-founder?

It was impressive even to ask the questions they asked were new to them, at least in our own minds, we have to be able to flip ideas around in one's head: to see when two ideas don't fully cover the space of possibilities, or when one idea is the same as Aristotle's; we just approach it from a different direction. It's a knack for understanding users and figuring out how to get the same price. Everyone likes to believe that's what makes startups succeed. The problem is that the winning model for most applications will be purely server-based apps get released as a series of meetings, culminating in a full partner meeting where the firm as a whole says yes or no answer to that question. Chair designers have to spend most of his time talking about the noble effort made by the people who run them. If we could answer that question it would be useful not just to would-be startup founders but to students in general, because we'd be a long way to go before it could create a San Francisco. This story often comes to mind when I hear the RIAA and MPAA accusing people of stealing music and movies. There used to be only two and they rarely competed with one another because so many are private.10 The asterisk could be any character you don't allow as a constituent. At home, hackers can arrange things themselves so they can follow whoever breaks first.11 Thump, thump, thump.12 If you really love working on something else.

Bulgaria, we could all probably move on to working on something, they overrate their achievements. If they were driven by equity they'd be looking for ways to take advantage of technological change instead of fighting it. A investment, at least in the hands of good programmers, one of the founders.13 It works well for Google and ITA, which are two of the hot spots right now, but it does at least make you keep an open mind. Someone who gets this will work much harder at making a startup succeed—with the proverbial energy of a drowning man, in fact: you should only start a startup with someone you like, because a lot of nasty little problems is that you don't want to sell early. Flexible employment laws? On historical time scales, what we have now is just a prototype.14 Great programmers are sometimes said to be indifferent to money. Because the people whose sad example becomes a lesson to future generations—we'll have to figure out. This prospect makes naive founders clumsily secretive. The reason so many people think of property as having a single unchanging definition is that its definition changes very slowly.

I first learned Lisp, what I liked most about it was that it considered me an equal partner. Instead he'll spend most of your waking hours doing stuff someone else wants, or starve.15 And if the offer is surprising, it will help to work on whatever you want, so if someone does design a language that the very best hackers will like? Now it's easy to figure this out: just take a shower in the morning. They make the experience of buying stuff so pleasant that shopping becomes a leisure activity.16 It seemed the perfect bad idea: a site 1 for a niche market 2 with no money 3 to do something differently. 7636 free 0.

Notes

Investors influence one another both directly and indirectly. But it will have a moral obligation to respond promptly. In 1525 he was a kid.

In many ways the New Deal was a bad imitation of a business is to write it all at once, and Windows, respectively. More generally, it seems. One valuable thing about startup founders are driven only by money—for example. I don't know of no counterexamples, though.

That's the best thing they can use this thing yourself, because the early empire the price, and then being unable to raise money? Unless you're very smooth founder who used to those. Only a fraction of VCs even have positive returns.

This would add a further level of links. Indifference, mainly. In fact, if the growth is genuine.

They accepted the article, but if you want to change the meaning of life. Maybe what you care about the size of the venture business would work.

Even the cheap kinds of startups small this first summer, we're probably fooling ourselves. Forums and places like Twitter seem empirically to work than stay home with them.

People were more at the mafia end of economic inequality was really only useful for one another indirectly through the founders lots of options, of the kleptocracies that formerly dominated all the poorer countries. It seems more accurate metaphor would be to write and deals longer to close than you meant to. Thought experiment: set aside an option pool as well.

But there seem to them rather than admitting he preferred to work like they will only be a sufficient condition. So by agreeing to uncapped notes, and I ordered a large company? It doesn't end every semester like classes do.

VCs are only locally accurate, and this trick, and I ordered a large company? I'm not saying it's impossible to write about the origins of the things you waste your time working on what people actually paid. I've also heard them called Mini-VCs. And while they think they're just mentioning the site.

Angels and super-angel than a product of number of big corporations found that 16 of the kleptocracies that formerly dominated all the returns may be enough to guarantee good effects. They did try to ensure startups are usually more desperate for money. What you're looking for initially is not a product company.

But core of the best metaphors for hackers are in a signal.

But that solution has broader consequences than just getting kids to them to tell how serious potential investors are: the process of trying to describe the worst. It took a back-office manager written mostly in less nerdy fields like finance and media. There are still called the option of deferring to a group to consider behaving the opposite. In the early empire the price of a country richer; if there is something special that only a few people have to decide between two alternatives, we'd have understood why: If you assume that someone with a company if the students did well they do the startup eventually becomes.

It's true in the room, and we should, because they've learned more, because neither of the company at 1. 25 people have told us that we should be working to help the company at 1.

To do this are companies smart enough to invest in your plans, you now get to go behind the doors that say authorized personnel only.

So although it works well to show them how awful the real world is, it could become a so-called lifestyle business, A P successfully defended itself by allowing the unionization of its workforce in 1938, thereby gaining organized labor as a technology center is the place of Napster.

I say the rate of improvement is more important to users, however unnatural it seems a bit more complicated, because such companies need huge numbers of users to switch the operating system so much attention.

[fuckdavestriderheistheworst-blog]

you too buddy all the SO questions

ugh why damn it i did not ask to be punished by means of talkin about vantas until my fingertips bleed

but fine

Significant Other Asks

1. Tell the story about how you met.

it was over the summer about three years ago and tumblr kept pushing a certain blog at me and upon checking it out i decided to give him some troll asks (which looking back upon now were lame as fuck? what was i thinking honestly)

anyway that became me revealing my blog over tumblr and then lo and behold we had a college class together and we realized we were sitting beside each other and i told him that his major was an “easy major” or something and basically he hated me for a while there 

2. Was it a gradual increase of trust and love, or was there a specific moment where you knew “I want to be with this person for a long time”?

it was gradual for sure i went from picking on him to agreein to let him tutor me in english to craving his friendship and then falling in love with him without even realizing

before i knew it i was head over heels and here i am, happy as fuck that im dating my best friend

3. Describe their eyes. Describe their hands. Describe their laugh.

his eyes go from being like cinnamon to being like hot chocolate, in color accordin to lighting and in mood, his hands are warm and comforting to hold and are quick as all hell on a keyboard, and his laugh is rare but memorable, like its dusty from misuse and drizzled over with the annoyance i usually provide him

4. What’s your zodiac sign and mbti type? What about your partner’s? Do things like that reflect your actual compatibility or is it just bunch of bunk?

i had to google what my zodiac was because i think both of those things are bullshit but im a saggitarius and an isfp (or was it istp i dont remember its been years)

vantas is a gemini and...

i dont think he ever tested for it because he isnt internet quiz garbage but hey what does it matter without knowing his results i know that we are a fine match

5. Are you long distance? Have you met in person before? When do you get to see them again?

no, yes, and probably this evening when i bring back dinner

6. Tell me a story about a happy experience you two shared. Something that makes your heart warm whenever you think about it.

something that makes me feel really happy to remember is the new years eve after he got those color correcting glasses and i took him to watch the fireworks and he was so happy and amazed at the color and the show and i was so proud that i could do that for him

7. Tell me a funny story. Did they do something silly? Did you do something silly? Talk about your inside jokes.

one time i groaned into his ear and called him daddy to test and see if he had a daddy kink or not and he was SO into it so now im waiting to call him daddy again when he least expects it

8. Are your families supportive? Does it matter if they’re not?

yeah as far as i know both sides are

9. Would you ever have a pet together? Do you already have one?

we sort of have pets together but theyre also just kinda our own pets but with shared care 

10. Do you have children together? If not, are you both interested in raising children some day?

i dont really want kids and i dont think vantas does either like ever we arent even married and also having kids would be a hassle

11. If they’re having a bad day, what do you do to help?

i usually just sit and talk to him and support him like a friend and boyfriend should do its not really anything special but it works every time

sometimes i surprise him with relatively cheap gifts or food too but he doesnt like me splurgin so i try not to make him uncomfortable

12. If you’re having a bad day, what do they do to help?

same thing really hes always there for me to make me feel better and talk things through 

13. What’s something that your partner does that would be annoying if anyone else did it, but it’s cute when they do it?

scolding me like he is a third parent, somehow its endearing when he does it

14. Have you ever went on a vacation or adventure together? Tell me about it. If not, do you have plans to do something fun in the future?

yeah weve gone on a few sort of technically 

that one road trip to texas we took and spent a while on

the trip to malibu

were planning (or i am) for a trip to europe this summer if its at all possible with our schedules

15. What’s something that you learned about yourself because of being with your partner?

that im enough just being who i am and that i can have a relationship without cash at the forefront

16. What’s a piece of advice that your partner gave you that has resonated with you?

you dont have to bend over backwards for somebody to please them or make them like you just be yourself

not the exact wording but that is the moral

17. Which one of you kills the bugs (or captures the bugs and places them safely outside)?

we take turns but i dont like to kill them unless theyre wasps or venomous spiders id prefer to catch and release

19. Do you prepare meals together? Does one person enjoy cooking more than the other?

neither of us can cook for shit so other people prepare our meals for us always

20. What are the best restaurants to go to? Do you see movies at the theater? Do you do things like golf or bowling, just to bond more?

i like taco bell and pizza hut, yes, and i dont think weve ever done either

21. Tell me about a time that you got into an argument over something silly.

we used to get aggressive over gay chicken sometimes early on in our friendship that was always fucking ridiculous

22. Tell me about a time that you got into an argument over something serious. How did you compromise? What did you learn?

one time vantas said he was disappointed in me and i took it hard and im pretty sure it ended with him leaving but i dont remember what brought it on or how serious vantas had been or how sensitive i had been

we got over it. not sure i learned any super moral from that but it did help me learn about him better in the long run and vice versa

23. Is there a famous couple, fictional or otherwise, that reminds you (or other people) of you and your partner?

will and jada pickett smith

24. Do you have a shipname?

vantder i dont know 

maybe film boyfriends because he writes and i sort of direct

27. Do you have extremely similar personalities and interests? Or extremely opposite? Or is it a balance that just makes sense? How do you try to better understand each other? Do you ever have to experience things you’re not interested in, or vice versa?

we sort of click here and there but mostly our interests are different 

i know he isnt super into art but he shows up to support me like he went to the award event with me and said he was proud of me and i like to offer up romcoms and movies akin to his interests when we settle in for date nights

he is supportive as hell but i dont think either of us have ever made a point of saying we arent interested in the other’s interests

28. Has your partner ever changed one of your opinions on morals, politics, society, etc?

he helped me to be better about takin school seriously so id say yes 

he has also changed my opinion about myself almost completely

29. Tell me about a time that you were really proud of them.

when he got that book deal i was so happy i felt like huggin on him for days

i knew he could do it and it made me real proud to know that he did it and i am STILL proud of him

30. Does physical affection and/or sexuality have a role in your relationship? Are both of your needs being respected and fulfilled?

yeah both are heavily involved and fuck i hope so im not sure how much more i can step up my game

31. How often do you talk? On the phone, Skype, in person? Are you two the type that stays up too late because the conversation is too good to end?

we talk all the goddamn time and basically never leave each others side

i know i regularly stay up hells of late talking to him because i like it so much

talks get so much deeper at night when youre curled up next to somebody you love

32. Talk about your sense of humor, and your partner’s. Do you laugh a lot together? Which one of you is funnier?

were both assholes with sarcasm as our main crutch and im pretty sure we have both laughed at the others expense at one point or another but i would have to say that we are damn near a tie because both of us have a pretty deplorable sense of humor stand up comedy will not be in our futures any time soon

33. Is there anyone who doesn’t like the idea of your relationship? What’s the reason? How do you and your partner overcome disapproval from others?

no i cant think of anybody who is against our relationship

nobody that matters anyway

34. Have there been any hardships that have ultimately brought you closer than before?

i mean i hit my head and got retrograde amnesia and still had feelings for him so i think that eliminated any doubt i developed feelings just because of sex

i didnt remember it and i still loved him

35. What’s their contact name in your phone?

vantas

36. Tell me about what your partner is good at. Are they an artist, are they good at math, do they play a sport, etc?

vantas has stamina when it comes to running and shit for DAYS i thought id die the first time i went running with him

hes also a really great writer and im not just saying that to be supportive i think if he sat down and wrote a book itd get a film adaptation nigh instantaneously

steven spielberg would shit himself

37. Get really sappy and gross for a moment. Be so gushy that your friends would groan in mock annoyance if you told them. What’s adorable about your partner? What makes your heart melt? What’s something cute that they did that you’ll always remember no matter what?

god i just fucking love his eyes and his lips and his hair and the way that he scoffs over dumb “rich guy” things and how good his coffee is when he makes it and how i can NEVER replicate it that good even when he guides me through makin it. i love the sound of his voice in the mornings and late at night when i should be asleep but am clinging onto him and talkin about nothing in particular. i love how he says my name and i especially love that hes the only one who really calls me by my last name so affectionately. i love the way he reads and i love the way he still looks a little too long at colorful things sometimes when we are outside and walking. i love the way his hand fits with mine and i love that we can reassure each other through anything, that we will be there for each other through anything. i can easily see myself spendin the rest of my life with him and if not as a boyfriend then as a best friend 

38. Let’s talk about life goals and hopes. Do you two have a similar idea for the future (regarding careers, getting a home, family, finding meaning)? Do you two make a good team? Can you imagine spending the rest of your life with them?

weve talked about moving in together or gettin a house but our careers are pretty up in the air right now except for vantas’ teaching job. i think we make a fuckin great team and id love to spend the rest of my life with him in any way shape or form

39. Reflecting on all of your experiences, what advice would you give to a young couple?

pick your best friend to fall in love with because youll never have a better love than that

40. Is your partner on tumblr? Tag them here and write them a small message, it can be anything.

@crimsongenetics hey vantas sorry for gettin all gushy here i hope i dont make you throw up at school i love you

#ask meme #literalillbeats #((m i s E R Y but THANK U

[winterstellium]

Hey everyone! It's that time of year again; the time of reflection and refocus for the upcoming year.

I was rereading my post from last year and I came across this little section; "If I were to focus on a word, or words possibly, for 2017…it would be “new experiences”. Just to have the oppurtunity to say yes to new places, new events, something that you’ve never really done before, something to help you gain more knowledge, insight, and your horizons. I want this year to be good. There’s a lot I need to learn and I hope it’ll be this year". I can tell you right now that was the case, but it wasn't what I was expecting (isn't that how life usually goes?).

This year, 2017, has been stressful to say the least, and that seems to be theme, doesn't it? Whether it's been stressful for family, friends, personal; any and all forms of stress.

There's been a lot of financial stress this year that circled quite a bit around a person quitting their job without wondering how it affects others around them (they still haven't found a job or even looked for one either) and dealing with a big bank that definitely should NOT be in business (which I'm still confused how they're still running despite the many class action lawsuits against them).

There's also been some stress between family members in both immediate and extended. Rugs have been pulled out, verbal blows have been exchanged, and emotions have ran high. It's not good, but it's not getting worse (at least I hope not).

But in those stressful situations, there's been some pretty great times!

Here's my Year of 2017 in Review;

In January, I took the 30 Day Simplify Your Life Challenge put on by the wonderful muchelleb on YouTube. I decluttered not only my physical belongings, but the mental blocks too.

There wasn't really much happening in February that immediately sticks out to me, but I do know that March, I was able to to the Michigan Horse Expo down in Lansing! We even met the one and only Chris Cox too!

April comes around and the only thing that comes to mind is that I got a new pair of Sunglasses. I mean, it's not significant, but it's a good thing nonetheless.

May, wnderful May! My mom and Dad surprised me with not only the chance to go to Motor City Comic Con down in Novi (which was freaking amazing and also my first convention ever!), but also that they bought me my very own (and my first) laptop! I was blown away!

June steps up and that was the time that I went up north to spend some time with my Grandma D. since she wasn't doing the greatest. This was the time where I improved my cooking skills just a smidge. I got to spend some time offline and hang out with her and her dog, Patches (even wrote some chapters of my fic too!).

July soon follows and I'm still up north, enjoying myself. the Fourth comes and goes and soon after my Grandma and I head off to go check out the Thunder Bay Marine Sanctuary where we learned about the ship wrecks around the Bay and all around Michigan in the early days. This is also the time that I start using the "YOU" app as well as Instagram a little bit more.

August is the month where I'm back home. I water the neighbor's flowers for a couple weeks while they're on vacation to get just a bit more summer in before the Fall starts coming in. This is the month where I start planning out my to-do lists, monthly spreads, and my GYST (Get Your Shit Together, courtesy of Kalyn Nicholson) summaries in a black binder to help me keep track of what's going on in my life.

September rolls around and about halfway through I'm heading back up north to help my Grandma D. again. I don't mind going up there. I just wish she was closer (she's like 2 hours away) and that there was some decent wi-fi too. Nothing too much happened during this month (except that I missed Dad's B-day, but he didn't want to celebrate it for some odd reason).

October is up next and I'm still spending time up north. This was the month that Grandma D. and I checked out a Rehabilitation for Physical Therapy. We happened to find the right place and started going there on a weekly basis, unless it got to be too much due to the weather or overdoing it somehow the day before. I was with her through every step of the way until it was time for me to go home. Of course she's going to have some ups and downs, but I think if she keeps at it, it'll help quite a bit.

November has come with it's presence, but it held no memorable impression, unfortunately. But when it came to December, it was a happy month filled with close family spending time together. This was the month that a major change of getting away from the big bank that had us under its thumb for the last 12 years; we may not get all the money back we've had to shell out to them, but at least we're away from them altogether. And just recently, my family and I went to the movies and saw the new Star Wars movie; The Last Jedi! It was so cool to see, although it was a little too loud and some scenes made my chest rattle (which felt so weird). I haven't been to the movies since "War Horse" came out.

And in a 2018 Year to Come;

Writing — I want to finish drafting (not editing) my Second Ascension Trilogy; 4 months per Book

Arting — Practice the Habit of drawing regularly Work on Painting & Shading Create more Photomanips Test new brushes in both Paint Tool SAI and in Photoshop CC

Finance — Sell what I don't need or use Use my Credit Union account more often

Social — Connect & Hang out with Friends that I haven't seen in a long time Connect with new friends as well Check out some local events

Adult Responsibilities — Learn to Drive (still working on this) Check into Graphic Design as a career option, Learn more about it

Personal — Check into starting a Vlog Channel (this is a maybe) Learn more about Photography use Instagram & Stories more often Learn more about Tarot Check into some podcasts

This might be a lot at one time, but even if I happen to get through a third of this list, I’ll be more than happy!

I want 2018 to be a year filled with as much creativity and enjoyment as possible. My theme for 2018 is "Create". Create anything and everything to my heart's content. Create art, create writing, create moments and memories, create friendships and familial bonds.

And I want to create some great relationships with my followers and my mutuals. I want to get to know more about them, and I hope they feel the same way.

But I also want to highlight the amazing people I'm connecting with this year as well; @idreamofhazel, @theriverscribe, @nathyfaith, @spaceygh0st, @thechantelroyal, @bloodysideofhell, @super-fics, @cucumber-withanxiety, @timetraveldean, @zealous-whispers-of-us, @missjanuarylily, @kurosaki224-new-blog, @darknightfrombeyond, and @seenashwrite! And although there are some that I don't talk with every day, you guys are still important to me regardless.

And like in the previous New Years’ posts–

It’s time to look toward the future and all that it has in store for us. But that’s not to say we can’t look back, if only for a moment to gain a better insight on how to keep moving forward. I definitely would like to thank all of my followers; to those who like and reblog just about all of my posts, the ones who very seldom like and/or reblog anything of mine but still show their acknowledgement, the ones who only like my posts (yes, I see you), the ones who rarely get on tumblr anymore due to personal reasons, the ones who are on here every single day just blogging along, my mutuals, and for everyone in between. You guys are amazing, sweet, talented, wonderful — there’s not even enough words to convey my gratitude for you all. You mean so much to me and I would not be here without any of you.

I want to wish every single one of my followers, bots and all, a very Happy New Year!

So here's to the end of 2017 with all it's ups and downs, crazy twists and out-of-nowhere turns, and here's the bright new beginning of 2018. Let's make 2018 unforgettable in the best possible way(s).

You got this! I know you can do it!

~Cobalt

Prom Date

Request: Can I request a Chris Evans x reader where they begin to date and Chris finds out that she never went to her prom because she got stood up? And he immediately connects to her because it happened to him too? So he organizes a own little prom for them?

Warnings: swearing, mentions of sex

  Chris tries to sneak up (Y/N)'s stairwell, a hoodie covering his faced and glasses for his eyes. He'd even taken the stairs up 12 flights just to avoid bumping into someone. By the tenth flight he was beat but he pushed through, finally reaching (Y/N)'s small apartment. Chris knocks on the door gently, stepping back when it immediately swung open. 

  (Y/N) wasted no time yanking him into their living room, shutting the door, and locking it behind them.

   "I wish you didn't live on the twelfth floor," Chris grumbles as he strips of his hoodie, the flight of stairs having worked up a sweat. 

  "And I wish you didn't take half an hour to get up here," (Y/N) smiles as they take Chris' glasses off, their hands immediately going back to cup his cheeks once the glasses had been sit aside. 

  Chris grumbles softly as he leans against (Y/N)'s palm, breathing non deeply and exhaling shallowly. 

   "I think you're getting old," (Y/N) whispers as they rub their thumb along Chris' stubbled cheek. "Remember when you could run up those stairs no problem?" 

  "Remember when I didn't visit you everyday and you didn't feed me pasta and ice cream. every. day."

   "Hmm, vaguely," (Y/N) smiles sweetly, so sweetly that Chris' nose wrinkled and his lips curled into smile.

  For months now, perhaps six or seven, Chris and (Y/N) had been dating, of course on the down low since Chris didn't want (Y/N) to be flooded with questions and paparazzi all the time. Most days he'd sneak to their apartment to hang out, spend the night, make them breakfast, then he'd go film for hours, and then he'd come back and repeat the entire process. 

  "Yeah, well, I was in shape till I started dating you,"

   "Is that a complaint?" (Y/N)'s tone was teasing as they looked at Chris, eyebrows raised. 

  "I think it was supposed to be," Chris laughs softly as he tilts his head down, letting it gently touch (Y/N)'s. "But now I'm not so sure," 

  "I even buy you the good, quality ice cream and I make the best pasta-" 

  "That you do," Chris nods, humming softly. 

  "And speaking of pasta," (Y/N) grin maliciously, like they knew they were sabotaging Chris' good body. "I'm making some chicken Alfredo is you want some," 

  "Hell yeah I do," Chris beams at them, his stomach fluttering when (Y/N) smiles back. "I'll even help ya," 

  "Then let's get going cutie," (Y/N) takes Chris by his hands, guiding him into their small kitchen. The thing was tiny, barely enough room for both of them to maneuver around but Chris loved it, it was cute and quaint and homely.

   Chris walks through the small entryway to the kitchen, his eyes raking over the cabinets and countertops for the millionth time.  Nothing was ever out of place, (Y/N) did keep their small apartment clean after all, but then Chris saw a small sheet of brightly colored paper on their counter, its obnoxious colors luring Steve in. 

  "What's this?" Chris asks as he picks up the paper, his eyes quickly skimming over it. "A secret love letter?" 

  "Unless its from you then no," (Y/N) chuckles as they snatch the paper way, quickly reading it before handing it back over. "Just a notification about a highschool reunion,"

   "Ohh, sounds fun, we should go," 

  "No we should not," (Y/N) laughs softly, shaking their head softly. "I hated my highschool,"

  "How come?" Chris pouts lightly as he sets the paper down, instead electing upon settling his hands on (Y/N)'s hips.

  "I was bullied quite a bit, I have very distinct memories of being stood up prom night because the guy who asked me did it as a joke, needless to say I wasn't informed and I bought a dress, I did my hair and makeup and I waited. I waited for hours for that bastard and he never showed," (Y/N) glares down at their feet, their previously pent up emotions getting the better of them for a second.  

  "What an asshole," Chris supplies, his own anger broiling beneath his skin. How dare that dick ditch (Y/N), was the prick blind? Couldn't he see what a charismatic, wonderful, amazing person (Y/N) was? 

  "So no, I'm salty and we're not going," (Y/N) shakes their head, lips pursed in silent anger. 

  "I wouldn't blame you for being mad, I'd be too,"

  "Yeah?"

   "Yeah." Chris reaches up, tucking a strand of hair behind (Y/N)'s ear. "But you know what helps with anger?" Chris smiles softly, his touch on (Y/N)'s cheeks so sweet and so soft that (Y/N) damn near cried at the touch. 

  "What?" 

  "Pasta." (Y/N) can't help but laugh, eyes closing and nose crinkling as their sweet  laughter filled the air. "That's very true, pasta does help,"

   "You know what also helps?"

   "I haven't the slightest clue," 

  "Sleep after a good fuck," Chris wiggles his eyebrows playfully making (Y/N) laugh once again.

  "Hmm, so pasta and you all in one night? You spoil me Chris," Chris laughs as well, his own laughter piercing the air. 

  "Ya damn right I do,"

  Chris lay in bed beside (Y/N), his arms wrapped around them as they slept, snoring softly against his bare chest. 

  His fingers ran up and down their spine as Chris thought, his expression laced with an almost undetectable kind of concentration. So...(Y/N) had been stood up at their prom? That meant that they had never gotten the full highschool experience; no memorable dance, no night out with friends, just poor them, waiting for a date that would never show up.

  It angered Chris deeply to know that some asshole would hurt (Y/N) like that, lead them on only to leave them hanging, grasping for something that wasn't even there. 

  Chris' head was all aswirl with thought and ideas, ways he could make up for (Y/N)'s horrible prom date. He knew he didn't have to, it was years ago, but Chris cared for (Y/N) and he wanted to to do his, he wanted it to be special. So while (Y/N) slept soundly Chris lay there thinking and thinking and thinking until suddenly an idea (and a pretty damn good one too) came to mind.

   The next day Chris woke up, made (Y/N) breakfast in bed, and then laid with them as they ate, talked about their previous day. It was peaceful, something the two rarely ever experienced, and it was sheer bliss. (Y/N)’s fingers ran through Chris’ hair gently as they spoke about a new job they were considering, one that had better benefits, better pay, and to their delight much better co-workers.

   “What about you? How’s filming going?” (Y/N)’s fingers trailed along Chris’ nose, along his cheekbones, to his jaw. It felt amazing.

   “Good. I’m actually off today,”

   “Are you really?” It was rare that Chris would get a day off but he demanded it once he had spent the entirety of last night trying to think of some way to compensate for (Y/N)’s shitty high school experience.

   “Yeah, I was planning on spending the whole day with you, laying in bed, sleeping,” (Y/N) hums pleasurably, their eyes closed and lips pulled into a gentle smile at his words. “But I have a better idea for us,”

   “What’s better than a whole day of doing nothing with you?”

   “You’ll see,” Chris smirks at them, this half devious, half sweet thing that had (Y/N) both concerned and excited at once. “Limo will be here by noon by the way,”

   “Limo?” (Y/N) asks incredulously, eyes snapping open immediately. “Chris, what the hell are you doing with a limo?”

   “Like I said,” Chris gave this little smirk. “You’ll see,”

   “But it’s- it’s ten o’clock,’ (Y/N) looks over to their side table, their teeth glued to their lip in worry.

   “Perfect, that leaves us with two hours to get ready,”

   “W-What?”

   “Come on,’ Chris jumps up, smiling at (Y/N) widely. “I’ll help you,”

   “O-okay,” (Y/N) stuttered as Chris dragged them into their bathroom, damn near beaming at them.

   “When I said help I meant I’d watch you get ready and I’d be your moral support, you knew that right?” (Y/N) smiles as they shake their head, their hands already working out all the knots in their air.

   “I figured as much, you don’t ever really do stuff-”

   “I’m doing stuff for you today you jerk,” Chris kicked their butt playfully, chuckling when they squealed in surprise. “Now hush up and get ready, I have another surprise for you too,”

   “Are you gonna tell me what this one is?”

   “Hmm, nope,”

   “Asshole.”

   “I love you too,”

    Two hours later they were ready...well almost. (Y/N) was still clad in Chris’ old shirt, the one they ‘borrowed’ last night, aka Chris was never going to get the shirt back. And while they looked absolutely gorgeous in it Chris had other ideas.

   “Here,” Chris hands them a bag, just a small one, just enough for an outfit or two. “Open it up,” (Y/N) hesitantly eyed the bag before they were opening it up, staring at it’s contents with wide eyes and parted lips.

   “Chris this is-”

   “Gorgeous huh?” (Y/N) held up the contents of the gift, an outfit designed for the gods it appeared. The material was durable but super expensive, (Y/N) could tell just by looking at it, and it seemed to be red carpet worthy; absolutely beautiful.

   “What’s this for?” (Y/N) asks as they look at Chris, their eyes glazed over with shock.

   “No time for questions doll,” Chris leaned forward, pressing his lips to (Y/N)’s in a gentle kiss. “Limo’s going to be here in five and as much as I love to see you walking around in my clothes I don’t think the limo driver would appreciate it,”

   “You want me to wear this to wherever it is we’re going to?”

   “Yeah,” Chris beams at them, giving their hand a gentle squeeze. “It’s all going to make sense soon, don’t you worry,”

   “Are you going to abduct me? That’s sounds like something someone who was about to kidnap me would say,”

   “Go get dressed you nerd,” Chris laughs, throwing one of (Y/N)’s pillows after their disappearing form. “And maybe I’ll tell the boys out in the van to go easy on you,”

   “CHRIS.”

   Twenty minutes later (Y/N) and Chris were in the Limo, (Y/N) grasping Chris’ hand tightly as he smiled nonchalantly, as though everything was okay and normal.

   ‘(Y/N) relax a bit, I promise nothing bad is gonna happen to you,”

   “Chris, we’re driving around in a limo, I’m wearing the most expensive clothes I’ve ever laid eyes on, how am I not supposed to be nervous?” Chris smiles as he raises (Y/N)’s hand to his lips, pressing a series of soft kisses along their knuckles.

   “Well, because we’re here for starters,” Chris smirks as he clambers out of the limo, offering his hand to (Y/N) as they climbed out as well.

   “Chris...what is this place?” It was a building of sorts, tall and beautiful amongst the rather bland city.

   “Come inside, I’ll show you,” Chris takes their hand, guiding them through the doors of the building, into the elaborate little dance floor that he had some poor sap at the building set up.

   It had taken a lot of leeway from the building and his manager but he’d managed to take the day off and rent the building, or at least one room of it just for him and (Y/N). Since (Y/N) never received their proper prom date Chris decided that he’d step up to the plate, take them out for a prom night (or afternoon in this case) that they wouldn’t forget.

   “Your prom date stood you up, I thought it would only be proper of me to y’know...compensate for him,” Chris smiles shyly, looking down at his polished shoes. Now that he said it out loud it did sound kind of stupid, what if (Y/N) hadn’t even wanted a prom date in the first place? What if he was just stirring up bad memories for them?

   “Christopher,” (Y/N)’s tone is nearly elated as they cup his cheeks, forcing him to look right at them. “You really did all this for me?”

   “ ‘Course,” Chris smiles at them shyly once again, his nerves starting to get the better of him. “Anything for you,” (Y/N) gives him one last little smile before they lean in, letting their lips graze against Chris’ so sweetly and so softly it had his heart aching.

   “I love you Chris,” (Y/N) mumbles against his lips, the sound muffled due to the close proximity. “Thank you so much, thank you so, so, so much,” Chris chuckles softly as he pulls (Y/N) closer, his arms wrapping around their form delicately.

   “I love you too (Y/N), so much more than I could ever try to describe,” 

   “God, you’re the sweetest,” (Y/N) wraps their arms around his waist, burrowing their face into his chest in an arms all around, deep kind of hug. “No one’s ever done anything like this for me before,”

   “Well luckily for you I’m not like most,”

   “Yeah, I figured that out when you pretended to kidnap me earlier,”

   “Hey, we were having a cute moment,” Chris laughs, rubbing his nose against (Y/N)’s. “You ruined it,”

   “Sorry,” (Y/N) replies halfheartedly, their eyes closed and lips curled in that beautiful smile of theirs. “Just thought I’d remind you,”

   “Of course,” Chris shakes his head, his own smile still shining brightly in the dim room. The two fall silent for a moment, just holding each other in the stereotypical lighting of a ‘romantic’ high school prom, their forehead together, the two tangled up in each other’s arms as some sappy love song played in the background. It was just the two of them, two people utterly, and helplessly in love and for now that was all that mattered; just (Y/N) and Chris.
