I cannot stop thinking about Eddie calling you nicknames. Not even just the regular ones, like baby, honey, sweetheart, baby cakes, though those ones still make your heart race. Imagine the day he figures out you like other nicknames. And once he figures out one, he’s testing them all to see which one gets him the biggest response.

Imagine being at school, you’re sitting next to him in class and suddenly your teacher is calling on you to answer a question. You’re always fast to clam up when you’re called on but luckily this time you really did know the answer to whatever the teacher was asking. You give a clear, straight answer and your teacher commends you on your work, “Good work, y/n” and you just hear next to you, barely above a whisper “that’s my good girl”. You’re sure that you’re more red than a tomato.

Imagine you’re at hellfire club with everyone and you’re getting hyped up before a session and he is just sitting there in his chair, looking at you with big, bright eyes, noting how excited you seemed. When you take your seat next to him, he just comments “seems like my doll is ready to play. Let’s get started.” Again, you’re a mess and a half, red as can be but you’re still able to control yourself a bit.

The last straw is over the weekend, at a party at Steve’s with everyone around and you wish you could crawl into a hole when it happens. You’re having a great time, you’re chatting with the crew, Robin is sharing stories about this guy that came into the store today and was recommending the worst movies to her as though he had any taste. Everything was going really smoothly and then, Eddie comes over. He slides right next to you on the floor that you had been sat at in the circle. He’s laughing at something Robin said, placing a hand on your thigh and rubbing comforting circles to show his presence. He smells like weed, alcohol, and his cologne and you’re already gone. Then, knowing exactly what he’s doing, he just leans into your ear like he’s telling a secret - “hiya bunny, how’s my sweet baby doing?” and you all but whimper. Bunny. You don’t know why that’s gotten the reaction it did but you immediately regret it the moment it slipped. The music felt like it went quiet and you felt like you had multiple pairs of eyes on you. Eddie’s eyes look like a lightbulb just went off behind them.

“Ohhh what’s this, bunny? Do you like being called that?”

It’s the alcohol. Definitely the alcohol. It couldn’t possibly-

“Awe what’s wrong bunny? You embarrassed? Don’t be. This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. You’re so good to me, bunny, letting me know something like this”

You absent-mindedly are clenching and rubbing your thighs under his touch while he’s chuckling low and you wish you were anywhere else right now. You had been avoiding eye contact this entire time until he took your chin and jaw in your hand and with a gentle but firm touch, he turned your head towards him

“Just say the word, and we can get out of here baby. I’ll treat you like a good little bunny too. All you have to do is look at me in the eye, and say so.”

Before you can even respond, Robin let’s out a long sigh and groan “guys, come on, either get a room or get a clue”. You decide at this moment to finally look at Eddie. His eyes have a smirk behind them and you’re swimming in chocolate.

“Well sweetheart? What do you say?”

“i thought…” you weren’t sweetheart right now, you wanted the other name again. You needed to hear him say it again.

He lifts your chin up again to look at him, firmly

“Speak up, Princess? What do you want to do?”

“I want to be a good bunny-“ he’d be pulling you out the door in a spilt second and you know it.

I just- I want to be called names like that by this man so badly. And you KNOW he would.

thinking..... nerd!peter shyly asking you out for the first time, completely prepared for a rejection and almost having a heart attack when you say yes - ⭐️

when peter's friends hype him up, it's to be expected. they float him with fake self-confidence and tell him how great he is and how lucky someone would be to have him.

this is expected, they are his friends. they know how great he is, because they know him.

you do not know him. you will not think he's great.

when may hypes him up, it's because he went to her in confidence and determination. he had sat next to her on the couch one evening, before letting it out.

'how do i ask a girl out on a date?'

may gasped, pausing the crime show, she couldn't wait for this moment. the moment her nephew would experience the thrill of having a lover in his life. he has no idea how alive he's about to feel.

'who are we asking out?'

'someone i like.' peter appreciates may, but she can also get ahead of herself.

may picks up on the apprehension, 'okay, what, you guys share a class or a friend group?'

'class. she doesn't really know me.'

his aunt shifts in her seat, 'have you tried talking to her? even just a little?' peter shrugs. 'i mean, i smile at her sometimes?'

'are you asking how to talk to her or how to ask her out?'

even if he feels shy admitting it, he cares more about getting to spend time with you. 'i could talk to her on a date, couldn't i?'

may grins, 'next time you see her, just ask her if she's doing anything this weekend and go from there.' peter freezes, 'go from where?'

'have you even thought about come comes next after she says yes?' panic fills him, 'no, i never thought i'd get that far.'

'peter!' may sighs, 'if you want a real answer, it's confidence. come up with a date and ask her.'

'what if she says no?' peter's aunt frowns, 'it happens. rejection sucks, but you brush it off and try again. you put yourself out there and tried, you got a no and that's fine, next time you ask, it won't be as scary.'

peter feels like he has no shot, but the one percent chance of maybe pushes him along.

-------

peter swallowed every bit of anxiety and slowly walked up to your locker. you were in another world, humming and singing under your breath. swapping books and folders you started to zip your bag, peter hasn't said a word and fears he's staggered a bit too long.

he did, because when you turned you jumped with a small scream. holding a hand over your heart you breathed out, 'you scared the fuck out of me, peter. are you always that quiet?'

peter wanted to ask you out, but he scared you instead. he doesn't have high hopes. he ignores you and spills before he has the chance to bolt, if you say no, he has the weekend to recover.

'can i ask you something?'

you smile, 'i think i did first, but sure.'

peter looks behind you at a group of your friends, they're standing back and looking very interested. he needs to get out of there, he thinks he's about to die.

your hand on his shoulder makes him look back at you, it's unfair to have eyes that can ease his anxiety and make it go tenfold.

'are you doing anything this weekend?' you take a second to think, 'um, i think my dad wanted to do something. why, what are you doing?'

when you see his face fall you understand his question, he wanted to spend his weekend with you. suddenly, you feel very stupid about your answer.

peter smiles softly, 'nothing, just wondering. you, um, have a good weekend, okay?' he's able to take two steps before you grab his wrist, peter spins back around and waits patiently, he's expecting the 'you too!'

'unless you want to hang out this weekend, in that case i have no qualms about blowing off my dad for you.'

an explosion of joy, your heart picks up, no way he's asking you out.

peter can feel his heartbeat in his throat, he has no idea how he got so lucky. may said girls liked confidence, he didn't show much, but he could now.

'would you like to go out with me this weekend? on a date?'

you can't stop smiling, your cheeks hurt. it feels better when he matches your smile. 'yes. i'd love to go on a date with you.'

BSD Chapter 105.5

"In the Narrow Room - the Later Part"

I love this chapter so much I have no words T_T Dazai is so precious I would trade the world for him!!

Please note that I typed it out very quickly while being hyped with neither English nor Japanese as my native language, so I might make mistakes here and there. Please forgive me I can't think really straight right now ;v;

SPOILERS AHEAD

Sigma tells Dazai that he cannot believe that Dazai is a normal person because he just single-handedly took down Fyodor, and asks Dazai why he chose him in the beginning instead of all the other usable tools (;v;). Dazai tells him there are 2 reasons, first is Sigma can act as Kunikida's replacement, because it would be very boring if there is no one there to be in awe and admire what Dazai did there. Sigma gets mad at Dazai and assumes that Dazai thinks he is not worthy enough to share the truth. Dazai corrects him saying that is not true, and that Dazai doesn't share anything with him because it's hard for him to understand, especially after he has been used by Tenningosui and others this whole time.

Dazai then decides to share one thing with Sigma and asks him if his ability to switch information works on dead people. Sigma confirms he can, as long as they have not been dead for a very long time. Dazai explains that he wants Sigma to use that ability on Fyodor (who is assumed dead at that point) to read his plan after that and save the ADA at the airport. Sigma is surprised Dazai did everything that he did only to save the ADA, and the words from people who used him in the past starts echoing in his head.

Dazai and Sigma get on an elevator to get to the room where Fyodor is supposed to be drown. While they are waiting, Sigma asks Dazai what is the second reason for Dazai to choose him, to which Dazai nonchalantly answers that if he didnt choose Sigma, Sigma would be silenced by Fyodor or Gogol later. Sigma is shocked, trying to confirm Dazai's intention to save him but Dazai doesn't say no more. Sigma starts to wonder what kind of place is the ADA. He thought Dazai was the same as those guys who used him, but he feels something different now. He thinks about how he wants a home, where he is not used by anyone, and he realizes that, the ADA is not using Dazai, and Dazai is not using the ADA either.

Dazai notices something is strange because the elevator is taking too long. Suddenly the evelator stop and they hear the voice of the time freezing skill user on the radio, begging for her life. Fyodor is seen alive with Chuuya, shooting her dead. Fyodor then tells Dazai over the radio that he is surprised, not by the flooding, but by the fact that Dazai and his 7-year partner's bond was so shallow that Dazai think Chuuya's ability cannot deal with that flood. He reveals that he has had Chuuya break and distort the track/rail of each partition wall when they entered. That way, it will prevent the doors to close properly, letting the water leak outside and allowing them to easily escape. He then says that if one cannot even think of that, they do not have enough qualification to use the gravity manipulation.

Sigma does not get why Fyodor could do that, Dazai then explains to him that Fyodor must have put one of his vampire among the guards, and when he couldn't contact with that vampire anymore, he was able to guess that the control room has been taken. It also means that Fyodor has already been in control of Mersault way before Dazai took his action.

Fyodor admits he was caught by surprirse with the attack though, and even though it is seemingly a suitable trial for a servant of God like him, he is weak and cannot stand it if he catches a cold, so he wants to return the favor by making Dazai and Sigma go through the same trial. After he says so, the elevator starts to be filled with water. The two of them try to get out as the door being locked and Fyodor praying for them to be held in the hands of God.

The chapter ends here. Next issue will be released on March 3 (Japan time). Thanks for reading till the end <3

Monaco

Y/N didn’t know much about F1. But as she wandered through the ‘paddock’, as Charles had called it, she found herself being swept up in the hype and excitement. Celebrities mingled amongst team investors and sponsors and mechanics. Already she’d seen a few friends and acquaintances. Y/N stopped suddenly at a call of her name, turning round she saw Charles and a man who she was pretty sure was called Carlos. He was dressed the same as Charles so that seemed like a good indicator. “Y/N!” She couldn’t help the grin that overtook her features and she felt Carlos stare at her knowingly from opposite her. “Charles, hi!” Her answer was breathy as he got closer, stopping just in front of her. Neither of them spoke for a second but both of them could have sworn it was longer than that. ‘God his pictures didn’t do him justice’ she thought as, ‘she’s even prettier up close’, ran through Charles’ mind,

“So are you going to introduce us or…?” Carlos chimed in from next to his friend. Charles cleared his throat as Y/N took a step back, “Uh yes! Carlos this is Y/N.” Y/N smiled at Carlos warmly as he extended a hand for her to shake, “It’s lovely to meet you.” His accent was warm and his face was very handsome. Y/N mused to herself if good looks were also a necessary qualifying trait for F1 too.

“Your concert in Rome was incredible!” Y/N was dragged back to the current conversation by Carlos’ compliments, “Thank you so much! We loved every second of it.” “I know Lily will be so excited to know you’re here today. This way, I’ll introduce you to everyone.” Carlos continued as he held his hand out to guide Y/N towards a larger group of people and Charles had to bite back a frown. She was his guest today, he had invited her here so he could get to know her and maybe spend a little time with her. Why did he need to share her with everyone else too? “Are you not coming with us Charles?” Y/N’s sweet voice and concerned look made his tummy flip and he nodded dumbly at her before trudging along behind the pair, ‘there’ll be other opportunities’ he told himself firmly.

“Guys, this is Y/N.” Greetings were exchanged and fangirling was done (though Lando refused to admit he had squealed when Y/N shook his hand) and before Charles knew it, he was being called to the garage to prepare for the start of the race. “I’m sure Lily will be more than happy to let you hang around with her!” Charles nodded towards Lily who was almost vibrating where she stood. Your face fell ever so slightly, “Oh… Yes of course, thank you.” “Is that okay? I’m sorry I can’t stay longer.” “No no it’s okay! I uhhh…” She trailed off, “I guess I’d just hoped that I’d be able to watch it from the Ferrari garage?” Charles felt himself turning as red as his Ferrari team uniform at her confession and he nodded, his tongue feeling heavy, “That’s more than okay, yeah that’s cool... dude,” He gave her a thumbs up and immediately facepalmed mentally. He cringed as he heard Lando snort from behind him and saw Max cover his mouth to hide a laugh out of the corner of his eye. “I-I’ll walk you there.” Charles strolled with her through the paddock, doing his best to pretend that Carlos was not tagging along behind them. She asked him questions as they walked; how long was the race? Was he nervous about today? Did he think it was going to rain? How fast would he be going? Charles answered each one with careful thought and consideration and he felt his heart swell a little at the way she took such genuine interest in him and his job.

“Well, here we are!” Charles led her into the Ferrari garage, greeting each team member he passed and wishing them good luck for the race. Y/N smiled at the interactions, clearly Charles was a kind person. Something fluttered in her tummy as she saw his dimples appear again and again. He handed her a pair of headphones and helped her find a place in front of several large screens. “Have a good race!” She said enthusiastically before cringing internally, “sorry I don’t know what you usually say before a race… I'm guessing I shouldn't really tell you to break a leg…” Charles’ head tipped back as a full laugh came from deep in his tummy. God she was adorable, “Just good luck is enough!” As he turned to leave for the grid, he suddenly stopped at the feeling of her hand gently taking his wrist. “Charles!” His eyes flitted down to look for a second before he looked up at her, she hesitated for a second and he watched as a look of realisation flashed across her eyes before she was dropping his wrist and stuttering out her next words, “I-I just wanted to say… umm…” He took a step towards her, “Yes?” “Drive safely? Please?” A soft smile spread across his face and those damn butterflies were taking flight in her tummy once more. “Always.” He gave her hand a squeeze for reassurance before he was swallowed up by the bustling garage and out of sight.

Y/N’s lack of F1 knowledge was showing as she did her best to follow along with the race. Part of her wondered if she should have gone with Lily after all. It may have been easier to follow along with her experienced commentary, but Y/N was glad she’d chosen to support Charles a bit more closely. After all, she was his guest. As she watched the cars lap the track again and again she thought back to their conversations. How he’d, albeit quite awkwardly, flirted with her. He’d made her smile that was for sure. Even through the exhaustion of the tour, she’d found herself staying awake a little later just to reply to him. So naturally when he’d invited her to be his guest at Monaco this weekend, how could she say no?

She watched the screen intently, eyes searching for a red car with each new camera angle. Once or twice she sensed the TV cameras on her, ready to catch her reactions and so she did her best to appear smiley and calm, despite feeling nervous at her surroundings but also nervous for Charles.

78 laps later and the race was finished. Y/N didn’t know much about F1 but she knew that 6th wasn’t a bad place to be… it just wasn’t the result Charles wanted. She felt bad for him, having sensed through their conversations that week that he added extra pressure onto himself when he raced at Monaco. She understood, she alwasy felt more pressure when performing at home too. Nevertheless she was waiting there for him with a smile when he reached the garage. “Congratulations!” Charles gave a small smile but she could tell he wasn’t feeling as good as he had before the race. “Thank you.” “Well you didn’t crash so I’d say you did a good job! I doubt I could even manage the simplest corner!” Another smile pulled at his lips this time, more genuine. She could tell even after a short while of talking to him when his smiles were genuine or not. His dimples were always deeper and his eyes a lot brighter. “So what happens now?” Charles inhaled before letting out a heavy sigh, “I have a few interviews and then debrief before we pack up and do it all again somewhere new next week!” She giggled, “Sounds just like tour!” Y/N joked before Charles bit his lip, suddenly turning nervous “Hey uhhh, I have to go and do these interviews but if you want, we could… maybe go and get dinner later? I can take you to Lily so you don’t have to hang out alone!” Y/N was silent, Charles felt himself growing embarrassed, “But if you’re busy it’s fine I totally get it and-” “No no! I would like that…” Y/N nodded as she bit her lip shyly, her head dropping to look at her feet as Charles nervously brought a hand up to rub the back of his neck.

Acorss from them at the entrance of the garage, Lando and Max stood in conversation with Carlos, all three of them watching the pair intently, “I bet you 50 they’re together by the time we get to Silverstone.” Max nodded completely convinced he was right, “Silverstone? Nahh mate, more like Canada…” Lando said assuredly, “You’re both wrong!” Carlos shook his head, crossing his arms as he leant against the wall, “End of the season.” He said confidently. “End of the season?” Lando raised an eyebrow as Max scoffed, “They’re both two blind idiots with feelings.” Carlos justified, “You have a point…” Max conceded.

Y/N shifted uncomfortably as she felt someone’s eyes on her, looking around she spotted Carlos, Lando and Max and she felt her cheeks get warm as she realised they’d been staring at her and Charles. Charles followed her gaze and rolled his eyes, “Just ignore them, I think they’re still a little starstruck. Shall we go? I’ll drop you off at Williams on my way.” The pair made their way out of the garage and down the pitlane to the Williams garage. Lily smiled warmly at Y/N as she made her way through the circus of mechanics and engineers and higher ups, “I’ll look after her, don’t worry” Lily sent her a wink which made her giggle, feeling less nervous about not having Charles around. She turned and he smiled at her reassuringly, “I’ll be back in a little bit - I’ll come and find you outside hospitality!” Y/N nodded before turning back to Lily who still seemed a little dazed that she was standing next to her. “I’m so glad you managed to come to the concert!” Lily smiled widely, “It was incredible! I think a few of us are going to go to a few more concerts before the season is over!” Y/N laughed as Lily led her out of the garage and towards hospitality, “You know, I was pretty surprised that Charles decided to join us.” “Oh really?” Y/N said taking a seat with her at one of the tables outside, “Yeah, he’s probably admitted this himself but he had no idea who you were when you guys first met…” Y/N giggled as Lily shook her head good-naturedly, “it’s crazy how you guys bumped into each other like that twice!” “I know!” Y/N’s eyes widened “Did you talk about it with him at all?” Lily asked curiously before Y/N nodded,

“We did actually! He apologised for not recognising me and assured me he wasn’t trying to kidnap me!” She said with a fond smile, “And I apologised that I’d scared him so much - twice!” The two girls collapsed into fits of giggles before Y’N’s voice dropped to a whisper, “Can I ask you something?” Lily nodded, “Is it true he kept googling all the lyrics through the concert?” Lily let out a loud laugh as Alex and Logan approached the table, “What’s so funny?” Alex asked, taking a seat, “Y/N was just asking me about Charles googling the lyrics at the concert, “How did you hear about that?” asked Logan, “Oh I see everything on twitter,” Y/N said with a smirk, “my fans keep me very well informed!” Lily gasped, “Does that mean you’ve seen the videos of me crying and dancing along?” Alex snorted as Logan coughed to cover up a laugh, both of them remembering how the sight had looked in-person right in front of their eyes. Y/N nodded, her face turning solemn as she placed a hand on Lily’s shoulder seriously, “I’m so sorry Lily but… I don’t think we have a space for you as a backup dancer on this tour.” Lily played along, looking down and clasping her hands together as her eyebrows furrowed, “It’s a brutal industry…” The table fell into laughter before Y/N saw Charles approaching.

“What are we all laughing about, hmm?” Charles was curious as he reached the table, “Oh we were just discussing the outcome of Lily’s audition.” You nodded, face becoming serious once again, “It wasn’t the outcome she wanted…” “I just can’t believe my dancing wasn’t good enough.” “Dancing? Is that what you’d call it?” Alex gave Lily a playful nudge as she gasped dramatically, “Y/N you see how mean he’s being?!” Charles gently placed a hand on her shoulder before leaning down to stage whisper dramatically, “We should leave before this gets nasty!” With a stifled giggle, YN stood up from her chair, making sure to give Lily a hug and exchange her number before following Charles away from the business of the paddock and down a small quiet side street.

“Where are we going?” Y/N asked, looking around as she took in her surroundings, “There’s a great spot I know a little out of town. It’s kind of a hole-in-the-wall place but they make some of the best pasta I’ve ever had.”

“Pasta? Sign me up!” Y/N gave an enthusiastic reply as Charles unlocked his car, taking her bag from her shoulder and holding it as he opened her door for her. She slid into the passenger seat and took her bag back, placing it on her lap as he closed the door and jogged round to the driver's seat. As he turned on the engine and the car roared into life, the sound system came on automatically. A familiar voice drifted out through the speakers and a rhythm that her body knew by heart filled the car. “I-is this my song?” Charles found his cheeks matching the colour of his team brand once more as he scrabbled to mute the volume but just turned it up louder in the process Y/N clapped a hand over her mouth, looking at him, as she began giggling harder than she had all day. “I was just… it was… research?” Charles scrambled for an excuse as Y/N continued giggling, hand falling away from her mouth as her head tipped back in laughter. And as they sat there in his car, her song still quietly playing in the background, Charles realised he didn’t mind embarrassing himself and would happily make a fool of himself over and over again if it meant he got to see her laughing like that once more. “No no no, don’t be embarrassed.” Y/N sighed, her stomach sore from laughter, “I think it’s cute you were researching.” Charles’ cheeks heated up again, ‘she called me cute?’ he screamed at himself in his head. “Okay, honestly? I haven’t been able to get that song out of my head since I heard it at the concert, it’s really catchy!” Y/N nodded, “It gets stuck in my head too sometimes - and it’s my song!” “It’s definitely one of my favourites.” Charles admitted and Y/N found herself having to look out of the window to hide how big her smile was. Charles cleared his throat, “So! Shall we go?” He began to drive, fighting to contain his excitement that you were in the passenger seat, “Don’t go driving as fast as you did earlier!” Y/N joked, Charles smiled, eyes darting to look at her for a second before fixing his gaze back on the road once more, “Never. Not when I have such precious cargo in the passenger seat.” Y/N bit her lip and looked out of the window once more, but Charles could tell she was smiling to herself, he caught it in her reflection in the window.

It suddenly dawned on him as they drove that he didn’t feel as down as he expected to after the race. In fact, he rather felt like he’d won.

I feel like people forget Time Lords are the same person across every incarnation.

like, ‘14’ even says that it’s not dying. Same memories, same thoughts about people, sometimes expressing something they can’t, not being able to say something they used to.

Think back to you 10 years ago.

You're probably a very different person now compared to then, but you're also not at the same time.

You probably talk differently now, you see the world differently, you might believe different things.

When The Doctor regenerates, that's the level of change that is done but in a few seconds instead of a decade.

Fundamentally you’re still the same person, and you’ve probably retained most of your core beliefs and interests, but you’ve also grown and learnt more about the world; altering many of your less integral values, and even possibly some of you more integral ones.

you could attribute it to a line from one of the novelisations, where the doctor attributes his lack of control over regeneration (and as we can imply, how bad of a post-regen situation he has) is because he didn’t pay enough attention in regeneration lessons.

I think for the Doctor it's like if you woke up and were suddenly 8 again, with all your 8-year-old impulses and personality and likes/dislikes, but your current memories.

The Doctor is always the Doctor. There's no "2nd Doctor" or "10th Doctor" or "14th Doctor." they're all the same person. Just because someone gets clobbered on the head and wakes up from the resulting brain damage knowing fluent German doesn't mean they disappeared and a new person took their place. His brain gets a shake-up, and his appearance changes, but it's still the same person all together.

I think all the media hype about the actors playing the role, and this weird regeneration for the 60th, kind of make it hard to remember that. For the Doctor, it's one continuous line of consciousness. 10 didn't die and wake up again with 13's memories, because there is no 10, there is no 13, there is only The Doctor. We number their faces but they're one person.

And it's confirmed by what he said immediately after the regeneration. He didn't say, "I'm alive!" or "How did I get here?" or something along those lines. He said, "I know these teeth." He realises that he's reverted to an earlier form, but he hasn't forgotten the intervening forms.

It seems to change not just from writer to writer, but Doctor to Doctor. 9 didn't seem to think of his 'death' as the end by any stretch. 10 considered them different people that shared memories, while 11 seemed to see more continuity and connection from incarnation to incarnation. 12 similarly was refusing to regenerate because he wanted to end it, a pointless position unless he saw 'the next Doctor' as still being him. 13 seemed to lean more towards the individual incarnation view, as she felt in necessary to say goodbye to Yaz.

And this is just the Doctor, a single Time Lord. We've seen extremes from literal dissociation from incarnation to incarnation with the One through Union (aka the collective, but that’s due to their condition), to Romana trying on new faces line a human would a new outfit, or how the monk tries to act like their past selves are different people to shift the blame and get away free from the consequences, or how six was post-regen

I just really don't like the idea of them being separate people, which unfortunately does seem to be RTD's interpretation from 10's line of regeneration feeling like dying, and a new man sauntering away. To me that devalues the idea of the Doctor being the same person from 1963 until today. They're the same person, who have been through the events of every single episode, and remember them and all the companions there travelled with.

If they were different people, them meeting former companions just doesn't have the same weight either. 10 for example becomes someone who just knows of Sarah Jane instead of being the same person who travelled with her.

But that doesn't mean it can't still be confusing when an old face returns. It's something that's never happened to the Doctor before, and perhaps it's something that he's never heard of happening to other Timelords either. So when it does happen he's very confused because he immediately knows who this new version of himself is, instead of having to go through the usual self discovery at the start of each incarnation.

I remember from an audio story (I think Sirens of Time), one of the Doctors (i say DOCTORS because time travel) said something along the lines of this: Take every trait of their personality is like a bar graph. Kindness, courage, alienness, anger threshold, etc. each have their own bar on the graph. Each regeneration is essentially the same personality but the bars could be altered with some traits more emphasized in a new face than the previous one.

Some examples of what I mean.

10 and 11 are examples of the alienness trait being skewed in opposite directions, where I feel Smith is more alien-like in his physical behavior than Tennant is. 12 and 13 still have this trait but it’s viewed more subtly through social interactions.

6 and 12 were less on the kindness scale but increased over time. 10, 11, and 13 seemed to have that kindness trait more emphasized.

Anger threshold /emotional control can get thrown multiple ways if a respective Doctor is impulsive and expressive vs bottling it up and letting it simmer. I feel like there are many examples to pull from off this alone.

There could be more obvious ones I’m missing but these spring to mind. I do like this interpretation since it lets you know it’s the same person but just aspects can be more emphasized than others across their different incarnations.

I like to think it’s just the same person at different points in their life - hell, we aren’t the same person at 18 that we are in our 30’s, or even the same person we are in our 40’s that we were at 30.

Life changes you, sometimes you’re goofy, sometimes you’re callow, and sometimes you’re stern. In DW terminology: you’re a quirky thief, then a person who has to kill everything they know, and then you become a person capable of finding some solace in life… then to a whole new person.

From the doctor’s point of view I believe they think they are the same person, they don’t differentiate between selves. Think of 12 near his start when 11 phoned Clara, he says he didn’t need to eavesdrop because it was him talking and that she looks at him but can’t see him.

Now this doesn’t mean the doctor doesn’t remember the traits each regeneration has, and this can manifest in their subconscious as talking to their different regenerations; but that’s no different than you talking to yourself in your head.

like, it’s even implied 14 will eventually become 15

THE GF NING DRABBLE WAS SOOOO CUTEEEEE !! okay okay this is slightly irrelevant but what about dating k 🥺 i think he'd be the sweetest everrrrr :( - hype boy anon

a/n: oh don't worry anon i'll talk about my husband (real) all day any day <33 word count: 889 words genres: fluff + nsfw content

so koga yudai is a THE pretty princess of the century

like i hate to break it to you

but he is the princess of the relationship

since he's usually the oldest/one of the oldest members of a team wherever he goes, he likes being doted on

he likes being the center of your universe

he likes when you have heart eyes for him, when you back hug him after a long day, when you declare your love for him, etc.

HOWEVER

it is simply in his nature to be a loverboy he can't help it

so as much as he loves princess treatment, he naturally takes care of you anyway in more subtle ways

like if you're the one who's initiating pda or hugging him when you guys are around people, he'll shy away a little more

but in confined spaces, he literally clings to you and WILL NOT let go

he's a closeted princess <3

but because of this, no one believes you when you say that he's clingier than you

because he loves when you fawn over him

but the second you guys get home, he's all over you

he really releases all of his babygirlism™️ when it's just the two of you (he can't be losing all of his carefully accumulated street cred that easily)

the KING of back hugs whenever he can

you could be just standing in any situation and suddenly, you're wrapped in koga yudai

genuinely any situation he can have his hands on you (in private), his hands will be there

as much as he does it because he loves you and he thinks you're the sexiest being to grace the earth

it's also because he can't make you his priority number 1 and the guilt eats him up

k's been working for his dreams for SO long and now that they're slowly finally coming to life, he always gives them priority

so last minute cancellations or having to plan time together weeks in advance is smth that you'd have to just be ok with

he also always encourages you to pursue your dreams tho

in his rare time off, he spends it with you and will literally bend over backwards to help his s/o continue to grow in whatever field they want to

you want to become a doctor? he will quiz you about whatever subject you have a test in text week. you want to become an engineer? he's sitting with you and providing massages as you try and figure out the question. you want to be a teacher? he patiently sits with you as you practice your lesson plans.

knows that he has a s/o that's very patient and puts up with a lot more from him (namely, his dramatics) than anyone else so spoils you rotten

of course in physical touch and sharing your passion for whatever you're interested in, but also gifts

he will buy anything and everything that reminds him of you in the slightest (anything pretty)

it's his way of coping when he spends a long time away from you

[NSFW CONTENT BELOW]

his other way of coping is phone sex 😭

k is a very visual person so he really needs to see you to get off

and i mean that literally

once you guys have sex for the first time (which would be so sweet because this boy just loves you so so much)

he genuinely cannot get off without you

needs you in some way, shape, or form to cum and while some people think it's weird, you think it's peak romance <3

is a switch but i think more dom leaning

he's more used to having more control, experience, power, etc. so he slips into the role pretty easily

he enjoys seeing you all drooly and fucked out for him so it works out

has an INCREDIBLE level of stamina

i mean it so literally that when you guys fuck after a long time of not seeing each other, it's all day and all night

like calling off of work the next day and everything

doesn't really like hurting you with words or pain

but he does like seeing you overwhelmed with pleasure

top 10 dick game out of everyone in kpop

but to get there, he will make you cum at least 2 times before he even sticks his dick inside

big dick energy

probably has to make you cum at least 2 times so that you're wet enough to fit him inside of you

will overwhelm you with pleasure whether you're the sub or dom tho

he can't help it :(

when he's subbing, he's like an overexcited puppy

and he can't help but fucking into you even after you tell him to stop

he just finds you so so so attractive and can't believe that you like him of all people

doesn't believe you in aftercare when you tell it was good

or that you're so happy you're with him in general

will just smile and clean you up gently in the shower

he only believes you truly love him when you're cuddled up next to him and even when you're dead asleep, you smile when you smell his perfume

after a long day at work

he's so sweet :( omg i want him so bad :(

I've been following you for the Horizon content, and it's been very fun to see it. And I've recently finished HFW, and honestly... I can't help but feel underwhelmed and disappointed with the story.

I loved the world building, character interactions and themes in general, as I truly felt involved with HFW, but like... I just can't bother to like, care, or feel involved with the Zenith storyline.

They were supposed to be the main force to drive the story to the final game... and yet, they had so little screen time on a very impressive world, Beta ended up playing a minor role compared to the whole world and had a sudden change on trusting Aloy after just seeing Rost, and Tilda played a huge exposition role, shoehorning all depth of them in the last hours, which I found to be rather overwhelming and even easy to forget after Varl died on GEMINI.

And the final mission just didn't do much to make them compelling. Like... as I was charging through the base and hearing them ramble about their superiority, Zo killed the sadist idiot, Tilda suddenly revealing Nemesis, and the final monologue from Aloy... I was just reactionless, because I didn't feel any sort of involvement with that storyline to make me hyped.

It felt like I was fighting an enemy just for the sake of fighting it. Which is something I didn't feel with Helis and the Eclipse on my first playthrough of HZD.

I really wanted to love HFW and be excited for Aloy's follow-up adventure... but I guess I just can't with this.

I know I'm rambling and complaining a lot, but as a huge fan of Aloy and Horizon (in general), I can't help but point this out to someone.

You might be surprised to hear that many share your reservations about the narrative of HFW, myself very much included.

Over two years later it's still kind of shocking how much the story--including the implementation of the Zeniths--hamstrung what HZD had naturally built HFW to address. Sometimes it feels like the team forgot how to pace? Bringing back GAIA in the first act was...a true ??? to me. The turning point of Aloy and Beta's relationship was, IMO, incredibly unearned, and I concur entirely about both Varl (as well as the player reaction to it, filtered through Aloy's reaction) and the final mission/fight.

I also know that others feel that Tilda's Nemesis reveal kind of stole the fun out of speculation for H3. With where HFW (and BS, re: Londra's data and other threads) left the story, I'm finding myself just not inclined or enthusiastic to think in-depth about what could plausibly be coming next, beyond what actually bridges back to HZD (Elysium and VAST SILVER, namely). HFW itself left no new mysteries to carry forward.

Consider, however, if the Zeniths and Beta had been saved for the final chapter. That, IMO, would have made for a much more compelling hook into H3. Reveal them in a post-credits stinger after Aloy succeeds at stabilizing the biosphere and finally restoring GAIA as an endgame task. Instead of some...questionably-motived space spaghetti Bigger Fish, we'd have an actual full-circle existential threat.

It really seems like a compelling storyline for HFW and beyond was spelled out right there in GAIA's dying plea from HZD, and then just...sidestepped into what we actually received.

This is all to say, nonny, you're absolutely not alone and I think many folks who were head over heels for HZD were underwhelmed by what was presented in HFW. Like you, I still adore the world and the characters--but there was a lot that very disappointingly fell flat otherwise. Here's hoping it was just a sophomore slump, second-installment weirdness, and H3 falls back into the stride that the first installment set up.

#NEVER feel bad about complaining nonny #it is healthy to be critical about the things we love and to voice our disappointment #even if we still love them love their world love their characters #my ask box is always open for critical analysis #horizon critical

The Nirvana Unplugged:

Eddie x Gn!reader

No Trigger Warning, a little bit of angst I guess ?

December 16th 1993,

You and Eddie have been dating for 3 years now. You both met at a Dio concert and have been inseparable ever since. You’re currently both living in Chicago. You share a small one bedroom apartment. You’re working at the record store just around the corner while Eddie and Corroded Coffin are trying to make it big.

As every evening at 6:30pm, you finally arrive home right after closing the store and Eddie is already home and waiting for you. When you come into the apartment, you can hear Eddie jamming on Sweetheart. You recognize the song he is strumming as Hollywood Black from Dio’s latest album. You take your shoes off, wash your hands and quietly join Eddie in the living room as not to disturb him, which failed because as soon as Eddie sees you, he put his guitar down and get up to kiss you on the lips. You kiss him back before slumping on the couch.

“Baby?” You ask shyly.

“Yeah Swetheart ?” Eddie answers while sitting next to you on the couch.

“There is the MTV Unplugged tonight and I was wondering if… maybe we could… I don’t know, watch it?” You ask hesitantly.

“Since when do you watch MTV?” Eddie asks, laughing.

You hide that Eddie’s comment hurt you and keep going.

“Okay I usually don’t watch MTV, but tonight they invited my current favorite band…” You say, hoping to convince Eddie.

“They invited Rage Against the Machine?” Eddie asks, baffled.

“Eddie my current favorite band is… actually not a metal band…”

Eddie looks at you like you grew a second head. “And you want to make me listen to some trendy crap?” Eddie asks, he doesn’t really seems opened to discover the band.

“Eddie, something can be both popular and good!” You say, hurt by Eddie’s assumptions. “Besides, you hate when someone judges your music tastes but right now you’re doing the exact same thing to me” you answer, both irritated and hurt. Eddie has the decency to look sorry, he even places a small kiss on your temple as an apology.

“What’s the name’s band?” Eddie asks you, mainly to show you that he cares about you and your interests.

“Nirvana…” you hesitantly answer.

Eddie suddenly gets up from the couch and shakes his head. “Nope, nope. Nope”.

You get up as well. “Eddie… you didn’t even give them a listen and you’re judging them…”

“I judge them because to have the hype they have it means they are fucking conformists! Besides to be on MTV it would mean they are doing those pop music craps we hear every time we turn the radio on.”

You let out a huge sigh of frustration. “Eddie… They are a rock band Eddie! A punk rock band on MTV !”

“If they are on MTV it means they conform so they can’t be that punk rock. Besides, artists with their fame obviously do this for money, and that is not my vision of music” Eddie argues.

“So you’re telling me that if you make it big you’ll only do music for money?” You retort back.

“No! Never ! But I would never accept a contract with MTV !” Eddie fires back at you.

“Stop being a hypocrite Eddie ! Just listen to one of their goddamn songs before judging! They didn’t even want to be famous! They were from the underground scene at first !” You say, getting even more passionate in your argumentation.

“Baby, with all respect due, in a year, when everyone will forget about them, including you, you’ll look back at this conversation and you’ll be like : you were right Eddie, I was just listening to them because they were popular”

“No I won’t Eddie! Because I genuinely like what they do ! You should know better than anyone else that I don’t listen to music for the fame of the artists.” You say, frustrated.

“Or because they are your new celebrity crushes. Maybe your ‘metalhead phase’ is over. In Two weeks you’re gonna leave me for a punk rock wannabe rockstar dressing like Nirvana’s members !” Eddie says, feeling really insecure at the moment.

Your facial expression soften. “Eddie… first of all I still love metal music… second of all you’re not a phase… I thought we were past that… I love you. For who you are. Not only because I love metalheads. But because I like your personality, because I like who you are inside as well.” You tell him earnestly.

When Eddie doesn’t answer you keep going. “Please, I ask you to listen before judging them…” you say while rummaging into your bag.

“Sweetheart… we both know I won’t like it so why losing both our times. Watch your thing if you want. I'll go out with the boys"

“Please Eddie” you borderline beg. “I want you to listen before making your mind on if you go out with the boys or watch the Unplugged with me…”

Eddie let out a huge sigh. “Baby… I love you but I’m convinced their music is gonna be those kind of crap I hear on the radio when I go to stores or when I was selling weed at parties in high school. It’s not my type of music.. and I didn’t know it was yours”

“Eddie I can swear to you that it’s not Pop music! I hate pop music” You say while finally finding the Bleach album in your bag. “And their first album is the best! Please Eddie… I discovered them at the record store not on some crappy radio station. Trust me…”

Eddie ends up caving in. “I give you one song to convince me.”

You almost jump up and down and run to the CD player, you put the CD in and put it on the seventh track: Negative Creep.

Kurt and Krist’s first strums echo in the apartment, Eddie is positively surprised by what he is hearing, at half of the song you can even spot him head-banging and play the air guitar. You smile when you spot your boyfriend being so entranced by the music that he forgot his preconceived ideas about Nirvana. When the song ends, you look at Eddie hopeful.

“That was pretty sick” Eddie ends up saying. “I understand why you love them, they are not some pop crap…” Eddie admits.

“Told ya!” You proudly say. “You should trust me Eds, I work in a record store after all.”

Eddie kisses the crown of your head “I’m sorry for doubting your excellent musical taste my darling” Eddie says in a theatrical voice.

“Does that mean you’re gonna watch the Unplugged with me?” You hopefully ask.

Eddie hugs you from behind and says in your ear “I will make an effort to watch the insufferable channel that is MTV to watch it with you”. Once he’s done with his statement, Eddie kisses your cheek and then your neck before turning you around so you face him. As soon as you’re face to face, you lean in and kiss Eddie’s lips. “Thank you kind sir, for sharing this moment with me.” You say before sitting on the couch together.

An hour later, you and Eddie are watching Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged, not knowing that you’re watching what will be one of Nirvana’s last concert. You don’t know yet that this performance will be considered one of the greatest performance in the history of Rock music but you and Eddie both praised the concert. When you saw the stage you were so excited and told Eddie how bold of a move it was to create a setting resembling a funeral, especially for a rock concert. You were surprised when members of a group named Meat Puppet came on stage with them. And you were a bit disappointed when they didn’t do an encore, but Eddie reminded you that after all, they are not-conformist at all. Eddie even told you he was so happy and baffled they decided to be non-conformist on MTV. According to him, this band will have a huge and long-lasting impact on the rock n roll scene. Eddie even told you that if they ever had a concert in a Chicago, he’ll come with you.

At the end of the concert, after turning the TV off, you told Eddie how they didn’t play most of their hits. Even before seeing what the critics had to say, you and Eddie both agreed that this performance wouldn’t be forgotten, and you were right.

Ok iv been waiting to use that pic forever, so thanks for giving me the opportunity!

Ugh, it’s the worst when you get so much good news but then one really bad thing at the end messes it all up. I’m sorry 😣. How about the good news though? Would you like to share? (Or the bad news if you need to vent)

Our brains tend to focus on what ever happened last (day is over all good, but bad for the last half hour = day was bad, and vise versa) so sometimes getting hyped up all over again about the good can trick us into being happy again! If that makes sense

Sending love!!!

omg hiiii! that’s the cutest lil picture ever oh my God it’s so precious omg i love it!

also OH MY GOD THE FERRET GIF I AM SOBBING INTO MY PILLOW RIGHT NOW THAT IS THE CUTEST LIL BABYYYYYYY OH MY HEART IS LITERALLY RACING RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM!!!!

You’re right, it really is the worst when the day is mostly good and then suddenly something bad happens and then it sorta taints the rest of the day, especially when you had had good news and suddenly it all fades away and all that’s left is the sting of the bad. i will happily share the good news because it’s something i’m really excited about!

i don't really wanna talk about the bad news. it's personal family things and it's sad news and i'm probably gonna be flying back home to england either this upcoming week or the next week after that :(

just trying to focus on the good things right now and trying to be as positive as i can be while also dealing with some sad things too.

onto the good news!

the first piece of good news was that i recently hit my next follower milestone (which you might have seen me post about already) and it includes a lucky number of mine so i was so so happy about that! i honestly never thought i would reach this next milestone, so the fact it happened kinda just blew my mind!

the second piece of good news was, the recruiter who i have been in close contact with for the job i accepted got in contact with me to share some amazing news! when i signed the contract last week, my base salary was included in the contract and it was a really great pay. i was super happy with it and honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better. but then the recruiter called me a few days ago to let me know that their management team for the company had just come together to solidify the pay for the incoming class of 2023 grads that they’ll be hiring overall, and they decided to increase the pay. so essentially, the recruiter let me know i was getting a pay rise before i even started the job! and it wasn’t just a small pay raise either, it was $8,000 more per year that i’ll be earning! MIND BLOWING! like literally i couldn’t even fathom the news when he told me! i honest to god went weak in the knees! i had even researched average veterinarians salaries before accepting the job and the pay i was going to be getting beforehand was already way over the average pay that vets make, and so now with this pay rise, i’ll be making a really good chunk higher than the median vet makes! INSANE! literally it’s completely and utterly just more than i could ever even hope for! it feels unreal! I’m literally getting my dream job! i’m gonna get to work with small animals and exotic pets, get to work a great schedule with good hours, get paid really really well, and work with a team of doctors who have been absolutely amazing and they’ve all welcomed me to the team and they’ve all told me how excited they are to have me joining the team and how much of a good fit i am for their family! my dreams are coming true and it feels so freaking surreal!

#asked and answered #babycakescastiel #literally couldn't ask for more perfect news #ive never been happier #my dreams are coming true #i am truly so lucky and so blessed

🪶Being Karasuno's Manager 🪶

Miss Manager's Glow Up Pt 2:

Heading to Nationals

Karasuno x Female Manager

Warnings: Swearing, so much simping

AN: This is an Anon request!

Extra: This glow up series had me DYING!! YN deserves all the men bowing down 🤸‍♀️

🌠 Please Like, Reblog and/or Share to help support my writing 🌠

All praise the glow up QUEEN 👸

Could you seriously be anymore perfect 🥰

Well, as it turns out, yes you absolutely can 💅

After last summers epic glow up, Karasuno thought they would have it easy

They made it through training camp and even the prelims with their three stunning managers

Seriously I think having you, Kiyoko and Yachi as managers is more stressful than playing a 5-set match against Shiratorizawa 🤣

But alas, life shall never be easy for Karasuno

Because when winter break approaches, you once again head out of town

You've got family and friends to visit and it's winter break ❄️

Suga may have joked about you having a glow up before you even left

"Now YN don't come back even more gorgeous this time"- Suga

Ennosita says "as if she could"

Famous last words 🙃

Daichi told them to shut up because they are going to jinx it

Spoiler alert: they totally jinxed it

Over your winter break, your complexion cleared even more, your body filled out, you changed your hair and even updated your clothing

You really didn't think it was much of a difference

That is, until you show up at volleyball practice a few weeks later

It's the first day after Kags, Hinata and Tsukki come back from their training camps

Everyone is ready to prepare for nationals

You strut in like nothing happened

The first to notice you is definitely Asahi

He does a double take and his eyes widen 😳

Ennoshita sees you next and palms his face 🤦‍♂️

Suga sees you and his mouth drops open 😲

Tanaka and Noya are too stunned to speak

Kiyoko is rubbing her hand on her face "not again"

Hinata is still trying to figure out who you are 🤣

Daichi is flaming mad 🤣

"YN I STRICKLY TOLD YOU NOT TO HAVE ANOTHER GLOW UP"

You 👉🏻 no you didn't 😐

"IT WAS IMPLIED YN"- Daichi, royally about to lose his mind

Yachi is trying to calm everyone down

She's got to defibrillators going on Noya and Tanaka

Tsukki and Yams are simply observing

Kags is berating Hinata per the usual

Dacihi is now in a relaxation yoga pose because you've done stressed him out YN!

"Ok everyone calm down"- Kiyoko, the voice of reason

"Yeah we dealt with this once, we will deal with it again"- Suga

And oh boy was it dealt with 😅

Literally it started .02 seconds after you walked into the stadium for nationals

Bokuto and Akaashi found Hinata and subsequently you 😏

"Holy crap YN!"- Bokuto literally drooling 🤤

Akaashi is so happy he won't have to worry about emo Bokuto for the first match

"You look amazing YN! Maybe you should come watch us play our first match?- Akaashi, knowing fully well what he's doing

"OH MY GOD YN COME WATCH ME HIT ALL THE LINE SHOTS"- Bokuto

You 👉🏻😊😍

"I wish I could Bokuto but I have to help Karasuno! But I'll come watch you when our first game is over ok!!"- You

Then suddenly Komori from Itachiyama appears next to Kags

"Hey Kageyama- ✋️ who is this?" 👀

Even Sakusa is coming out of his corner to look at you YN 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

He's just like ❤◻️❤

Thats my mask face with heart eyes leave me alone

Oh but the fun doesn't stop there 🤣

Nekoma appears and Lev is right there to hype you up

"HOLY CRAP YN HAD A DOUBLE GLOW UP!"

"Damn Yn you want to be our manager for nationals"- Yaku 😏

Tanaka and Noya are now forming a human shield around you

You simply roll you eyes, smile and wave

Then you walk away 🚶‍♀️

And you can bet EVERY SINGLE ONE of those guys is watching you 👀

Call the secretary service, YN's in the building 🗣

Oh but that's not the end of it YN

During the first round match against Tsubakihara Academy, those guys watched you the whole time 👀

Heck they even wanted to see Karasuno score just to see you celebrate 😍

Please they may have lost but they all got a wave from you 😍👋🏻

That was WAY better than any participation award 😅

Not YN literally having all the men at Nationals simping over her 🤚🏻

Oh but it gets better

Because when a certain blonde sets his eyes on you, we'll let's just say it's all over

You were sorting Bentos for the team when you suddenly backed into a wall 🧱

Oh but it wasn't any wall, oh no no it was Atsumu, the setter for Inarizaki

You probably wish it wad a wall instead 😒

He's smirking at you and you are smiling back 😁

"Oh im so sorry! I didn't see you behind me"-you

"No worries gorgeous, I was actually looking for you"- Atsumu

You look to the left and to the right and then point your finger right at yourself

"Me" 🤦‍♂️ yes YN you

Atsumu nods and smiles

"I was wondering if I could maybe get your number?"- Atsumu

Your cheeks heat up because seriously 😲

Just as your about to answer Atsumu, Osamu and Suna approach

"ATSUMU YOU DUMBASS"- Osamu

Suna and Osamu stop and stare

Suna and Osamu 👉🏻😐😳😲

You 👉🏻😁👋🏻

Atsumu 👉🏻😑😠

"And who is this?"- Suna

"Mine"- Atsumu growls

Whoa whoa whet- 😃

"I saw her first"- Atsumu

"I think she can decide for herself who she's more interested in"- Osamu

"And it's definitely not any of you"- Sakusa and Komori

Jesus YN look what commotion your glow up has created ✨️

"Oh is that so?"- Atsumu

"YN!!! HI- MIYA 😡"- Bokuto with Akaashi

Bokuto is now stomping over to you, chest puffed out 😭

Send up a flare signal or something YN

SOS 🏳

"Bokuto get away from YN"- Kuroo and Kenma

"Shut up Kuroo! Yn loves me! Don't you YN?"- Bokuto

"You don't have to answer that YN"- Akaashi

Oh my god, is everyone here?

Are there even any games being played right now?

Apparently there's room for more at this gathering 🤗

"Whats happening over here?"- Hoshiumi and Hirugami

Because why not

They stare at you 😳

The theme of this headcannon is just staring 👁👄👁

Welp the good news is it can't get any worse right?

WRONG

"WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" -Daichi being flanked by Suga and Asahi

Everyone's heads snap to them 👀

"See YN this is exactly what I was talking about!"- Daichi

"I AM LITERALLY JUST STANDING HERE"- you

🌳 🌳🌳🌳🌳🐜🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

👆🏻accurate description of your predicament right now

"We are going to have to get you a backpack harness YN"- Suga

"Oh maybe just not bring her along?"- Asahi

Daichi is still staring at all the guys as they watch you being pulled away by Suga

You turn around to smile and wave 👋🏻 goodbye

Every single one of them falls in love with you 😍

Let's just say, after that, Karasuno gets attention for more than just Hinata and Kags Quick 😏

Suddenly the Karasuno section gets much bigger 👀

Inarizaki steals glances at you while you stand with Yachi

Everytime you scream, shout, jump up and down to celebrate, they all die a little inside 💀

Seriously chill YN ✋️

Suga thinks about telling you to chill but your celebrations and the way everyone is watching you has lit a fire in Karasuno 🔥

Seriously Daichi is boring holes into Atsumu everytime he looks at you 🔥 👄 🔥

Asahi's spikes are matching the force of Aran's with how bad he wants to hurt Inarizaki

Tanaka and Noya are growling everytime someone glances your way

There are several guys hovering around you and Yachi

But you pay no mind to them YN 💅

You lose your mind when Hinata receives Aran's spike

"HINATA THAT WAS FANTASTIC!"- You, jumping up and down and completely losing your mind

Atsumu is now trying to figure out how to get you to transfer to Inarizaki 🤣

When that final whistle sounds and your boys win, you scream and run to them

You hug and kiss every single one of them on the cheek

You are crying and smiling and so freaking happy 😭😭😭

Inarizaki is sulking but you look at them, giving them all a smile and a wave 👋🏻 telling them they all did an amazing job!

Their over it real quick 🥰

Seriously the power your smile holds YN

After the match, Suga walks up to Daichi

"I guess Yn's 2nd glow up wasn't so bad"

"She's never allowed to come to tournaments again"- Daichi

He doesn't mean that YN- at least, I hope 😅

Ride Alone

sorry this took me a hot minute! I know it's a little short but i hope you guys like it :)

You were sitting on your bed scrolling through tik tok when your room was being dramatically barged into.

“What the fuck dude?” You let out a breathy laugh at the 19 year old boy standing in front of you.

“Thomas is vlogging right now and we’re gonna go driving, hurry hurry hurry!” Vinnie explains excitedly as he grabs your hand and pulls you up from your bed. He’s leading you out of your room when you stop and become dead weight. He turns around, “What are you doing? Common, let's go!” You grab his shoulders, “Vincent, I look like shit right now, give me at most-”

“You never look bad.” A genuine sentence you never expected to hear come from your best friend. Shocked, you just brush it off, “Well still, I want to look half decent for a vlog even if I’m in it for like 5 seconds, so please give me like what? 10 minutes?” You say sort of asking if a 10 minute wait would be tolerable.

“Okay fine, 10 minutes, now go hurry up!” He jokingly spins you back around and closes your door, leaving you in your room to get dressed. Ten minutes had passed and you were pretty impressed with your outfit, baggy bottoms and somewhat tight shirts never fail to make you feel good in your skin. Exiting the room and heading downstairs you see everyone waiting around the main living area. Vinnie’s eyes meet yours, he looks at you with the most giddy expression. Thomas notices and brings out his camera, “So as I was telling you guys earlier, today was the launch of the hype house car channel!” Everyone erupts in too loud cheers and whistles. “So because of that, we’re going on a canyon run!” More praise fills the room, finally Thomas puts his camera down, “So are we gonna go or what?” Everyone bolts out of the house and starts jumping in cars. You stood in the middle of the driveway, not knowing where to go.

“Hey!” You hear your best friend call out, “Why are you just standing there, come on!" Vinnie motions towards his rx7 with his head. Vinnie never really rides with anyone in his car, so this shocked you and the others. You just stand there confused almost. "Dude come on, don't make me ride alone" He shouts again, registering what he said you start moving towards his car.

“OOOOHH VINNIE GET IT!” Calvin shouted which caused everyone else their mom to look over at the two of you standing by the rx7. A collective gasp was shared and then chaos erupted. You couldn’t make out full sentences at all, but you heard “Kiss” “Date” “Couple” and you’re pretty sure you heard someone say something about getting railed? Sure everyone was the age of an adult, but 97% of the time you were convinced you were surround by children. Anyways, the two of you simultaneously flip the other members off and get into the car.

“Idiots.” Vinnie says while shaking his head and starting his car. You can’t help but look at him, his messy hair, his breathless smile, his earrings, the tattoos that decorate his arm. You can’t help but admire him, all of him. He starts to move his car, following the others to where you were going. You connect your phone to his car to play music, ‘Carolina’ flows out of the car's speakers. Vinnie laughs, “Really?” He glances over at you, “What? It’s a good song!” You defend. He shakes his head and runs his tongue on the inside of his cheek, and suddenly it got a little hotter in his car. You guys make it to the location and park the car for a minute, so you pause the song. Thomas brings out his camera and starts talking. Standing outside of the car it’s really cold and you weren’t dressed for the weather. Vinnie walks over to you and leans down, next to your ear “You okay?” He whispers, a shiver runs through your body, this time not due to the weather. You couldn’t bring yourself to answer, so you just nod, rubbing your hands up and down your arms. Vinnie takes notice and replaces your hand with his, rubbing up and down your arms. Safe to say you weren’t cold anymore, in fact you felt like you were on fire.

“Okay! Let’s drive guys!” Calvin yells, and everyone gets into their respective vehicles. Getting into the rx7, the both of you fasten your seatbelts. He revs his car and it's your turn to laugh, “You think you’re all that hm?” He looks over at you, giving you the most melt-worthy smirk, “You know what?”, he leans over the center console, which encourages you to lean over too.

“I do think I’m all that.” His eyes flicker from your down to your lips. You lean in even closer, inches apart, “Show me why then.” The tension in the car was intense, you let your gaze drop from his eyes to his lips. Maybe a kiss wouldn’t be bad at all. Just as you were about to lean in, a car horn goes off, causing both of you to jump back.

“Let’s go love birds!” Calvin screams from his car and then speeds off. The two of you burst out into a fit of laughter, his smile is so pretty. “He’s right, let’s have fun now.” You say.

“Were we not having fun earlier?” Vinnie quickly glances at you while driving, his voice drowning in playfulness. “I was having a grand-” You’re cut off when Vinnie accelerates his car. Reaching for literally anything, you grab his forearm and squeeze it with your entire soul.

“VINNIE OH MY GOD” You scream, without missing a beat Vinnie replies, “I like hearing you scream my name.” You remove you hand from his arm to whack him aside the head.

“Real classy Vincent.” You roll your eyes looking at him shrug. He speeds up again, this time you’re prepared for it. It’s an exhilarating feeling. Vinnie reaches over to the radio screen and pushes play, The chorus of Carolina fills the car. You turn it up even louder than it was already and just start singing at the top of your lungs. Sitting in a car going probably 100 mph, with one of the- if not the most attractive guy you’ve ever met, listening to Harry Styles. Life honestly could not get better. But it did, oh it got so much better when Vinnie himself started singing along. Shocked you halt your ‘singing’ to hear him. It’s not fair at all, how can he be so talented? He's hot, he's funny, he's smart and kind, AND HE CAN SING? God has favorites and one of their names is Vincent Hacker. Hearing him singing “She’s a good girl, she feels so good." Made it feel like the car got 30 degrees hotter. You found yourself becoming constantly warm around Vinnie. He's your closest friend, but you really couldn't help maybe being more than that. You look ahead of you guys and see Thomas’s car speeding down the road. The song ends and before the next song can start, Vinnie slows the car and pauses the music. “Everything okay?” You ask. “Yeah yeah everything’s good.” He says as he pulls off the side of the road to park. As soon as the car comes to a complete stop, he turns his body towards yours and just stares at you.

“Is this where you murder me or some- mph!” You poor attempt at a cliche murder joke is cut off as Vinnie presses his lips to yours. You allow yourself to melt into the kiss, your hand going up to the nape of his neck, his to the side of your face. You know how your body reacts when it’s cold and you take a sip of warm hot chocolate? That’s how this kiss felt. Your entire body shivers from a warmth spreading throughout it. Breaking away from the kiss, the two of you rest your foreheads against each other. Breathlessly Vinnie says, “I’ve been wanting to do that all night, shit. I’ve been wanting to do that since I met you.” He looks down, almost as if he was shy. You grab his face so he looks up at you, “Me too." you pause, and you could've sworn that in those 2 seconds you paused, silence had never been more deafening. "So please do it again.”

As your lips are about to connect, you hear sirens and see flashing red and blue lights go past you, straight to Thomas’s car. The two of you laugh at the sight, before Vinnie pulls you in for a quick kiss, “I don’t ever want to drive alone again.”

PLEASE share your thoughts on Sky in botw for no reason it sounds hilarious (of course u don’t have to if u don’t want to though)

AAA i have many thoughts but none are coherent be warned. i dont know where i was going with a single point in this post i wrote this all at 1 am so excuse this mess

i like to imagine he just walks into Hateno one day and scares the locals with his weirdly hylian-like but not-quite language (either spoken or signed, because i'd imagine sign language has changed over millennia too), so they call Link and Zelda for help

Link's like "no worries i've met everyone around Hyrule they're probably looking for me" until he walks out, sees Sky, and goes "i've never met this man in my life,"

the first week or so is just the longest and most infuriating game of charades ever between them as they try to learn a better way to communicate

Link keeps wondering why the new guy keeps looking at his horse like he's never seen one before. he won't even go near the creature

which gets funny when the horse decides to follow Sky around and scare him half to death

Link and Zelda try taking him to Impa but he keeps getting distracted with everything in the village because "Hey those are the symbols (his) Impa had on her clothes that's funny. are these people related to her??"

oh yeah and they also had to convince him to ride a horse to even go there which didn't go well either

they end up leaving him with the cuccoo guy while They talk to Impa and Sky has the time of his LIFE with the tiny birds

Impa, understandably, has no idea who this guy is either, but if she had to guess he's an ancient hero that somehow washed up millennia after his era

Zelda: okay but what do we do with him

Impa: babysit him ig????

you know those movies where the main character suddenly gets handed a child and they have to take care of them throughout the movie? that's Link and Zelda with Sky. except he's technically older than them

the second they manage to like, communicate he starts talking about missing the sky and the clouds and flying and Zelda's like "oh hylia he's the first hero help me"

Sky probably keeps acting way too relaxed for someone who's not in his home

Link leaves the master cycle zero unsupervised for three seconds and next thing he knows Sky is using it no problem and driving directly into a bokoblin camp

oh god okay i know i was talking about this like, post botw but consider: Sky In Pre-Calamity Hyrule For No Reason

maybe in this scenario he's like. Hylia's answer to Zelda's prayers for help. the language barrier isnt too helpful tho

i know her prayers are to awaken her power but i mean. who better to help you understand the Triforce's power than the guy who first got it all?

anyways Sky's never seen Zora OR Gerudo OR Rito before can you imagine how he'd react. this poor man

Revali, seeing both Links standing together: oh Hylia above, there's two of them?

Sky is obsessed with Vah Medoh but Revali wont let him go there. Sky wont give up because if he and Groose ended up getting along he can get along with this weird loftwing guy

i just think he'd get along with the champions :) frends

oh no i just imagined Sky in the middle of the calamity itself. oh no. anyways,

Sky likes playing matchmaking so you BET he'd be out there causing problems on purpose and trying to help around with romantic stuff. like idk hyping up Mipha when she's trying to tell Link something or stuff like that

okay but in general can you imagine how excited Zelda, local nerd, would be over getting to talk to a walking piece of history?? i think it'd be really cute

this got too long and it makes no sense sorry about that

#i have no specific thoughts about this just vague scenarios i laugh about because i have the sense of humor of a 12 yr old #tortilla asks #tortilla's zelda tag #skyward sword spoilers #just inc ase #posting this in the middle og the night as usual #long post kinda

Left Behind

Pairing: Frank Iero x Female Reader

Requested By: None

Word Count: ~1100

Summary: Y/N gets left at a rest stop on tour, leading to Frank confessing something…

You were on your second cross country tour with your band, My Chemical Romance. You were their drummer, your best friend, Frank having brought you along when he became their rhythm guitarist. They’d had another drummer, but weren’t happy with him and Frankie loved to hype up your drumming skills, even if it embarrassed you. He’d given Gerard an altogether unnecessary ultimatum: you and Frankie came as a package deal, so if they didn’t let you in the band, Frank wouldn’t join either. But Frank’s enthusiasm for MyChem’s vision and your drum talent had won everyone over.

Being the only girl in a van full of boys was rough sometimes. Ray and the Way brothers couldn’t care less how bad they smelled and how often they showered. At least you could count on Frankie to scope out showers at truck stops with you. He shared your dislike of being stinky for too long. It was only one of the countless things you liked about him.

You had been friends since high school and you’d always sort of nursed a crush on him, but never acted on it. Frank never dated and neither did you.

You and the band had stopped at a gas station to fill up the van and get some snacks.

“What are you thinking of getting, Y/N?” Frank asked as he copped a sip from your gigantic cup of Diet Coke. You shooed his face away and he giggled.

“Some sour gummy worms and some chips, definitely.”

He nodded. “Cool, cool. I’m gonna go buy some cigarettes.”

“Sounds good.”

You debated for a few minutes on what kinds of chips to get, finally settling on the classic plain Lay’s. You paid for your stuff, noticing Frank hadn’t met back up with you after getting his stuff.

You went outside just in time to see the big white van pulling out of the parking lot without you.

“HEY, FUCK YOU GUYS!” You screamed, waving your arms at the van, even though you knew it was a waste of time and energy.

This wasn’t the first time you’d gotten left behind. You tried not to let on, but it really bothered you. It made you feel like you weren’t important. Ray had had the same thing happen to him several times too, but he always seemed to laugh it off.

You pulled out your phone and called Frank.

“Hey Y/N—oh shit.”

“Yeah. Oh shit is right. Tell Gerard he better turn the van around and pick me up in the next minute or I’m gonna roll up one of his comic books and shove—“

“Woah, okay, Y/N. We’re coming.”

You hung up on Frank, waiting for the van to come back. When it did, you hauled yourself inside, making a beeline for the back row. Normally you and Frank sat together in the row just in front of it and you noticed him reaching an arm out to you—to what? Hug you? Pull you aside?—but you ignored him. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw his face fall and watched him slump down in his seat.

“Well, now we know why it was so quiet in the van,” Gerard said. Normally, you’d have a snappy comeback, but you were too mad to speak to any of them. “What? Not gonna respond?”

“I think she’s giving us the silent treatment,” Ray said.

“Oh, real mature, Y/N,” Mikey said.

Conversation resumed around you, but you didn’t participate. Suddenly, you noticed Frank had moved into your row.

“Hey Y/N,” he said.

You didn’t respond.

“Still not talking, huh? That sucks,” he said. He peeked at you from beneath the hood of his sweatshirt, his hazel eyes big and sad.

You gave him nothing.

“Look, I’m sorry you got left again. I know we said last time we’d try to do better and—and I feel like this time was my fault, ‘cause I’d just been talking to you and all. I just—I thought you went out before me, but that’s no excuse.” Absentmindedly, he took your hand and started playing with your fingers. You couldn’t deny that it felt really nice.

Still, you said nothing.

“Hey, hey Y/N,” he said, poking you. He kept this up, poking you and calling your name until you couldn’t take anymore.

“WHAT?!” You snapped.

His face lit up. “You talked again!”

You rolled your eyes. “Boy, nothing gets by you. Now, what do you want?”

“I wanna know why you’re pouting,” he said. Boy really had some nerve.

“Are you serious? I’m pouting because you guys fucking left me!”

He gaped for a moment before responding. “I didn’t think that bothered you that much.”

“Yeah, well it does. How would you feel if you got abandoned four times before the end of tour?”

“Pretty shitty, I guess.” He picked at the black polish on his nails.

“Now you know how I feel.”

He shoved up against you and rested his head on your shoulder, sighing. Another thing you liked about Frank was how cuddly he was. It was nice on cold nights in strange cities, having him snuggle up to you and tangle your feet together.

“I guess I’m still a little confused. Ray usually laughs it off,” he said.

“Well, I’m not Ray.”

He sighed again. “No, you’re not. And I know you well enough to know something else is bothering you.”

Now it was your turn to sigh. “I’m just…I feel like you guys don’t really see me sometimes. Like I’m just one of the guys or something.”

“Believe me, I don’t feel that way at all.”

“Then why’d you leave me?”

“I didn’t mean to, I promise. I just hate that you’ve been feeling like this and haven’t talked to me about it. I don’t want you feeling crappy because—because I really really like you. Not just as my best friend, but as…well, you know.”

“Are you kidding me right now?” You asked.

“No, I’m serious, I swear. But it’s okay, you don’t have to say anything back. It—it was stupid,” he said.

“Frank?”

“Yeah?”

“Look at me.”

He finally picked his head off your shoulder and met your eyes.

“I really really like you too,” you said.

“Really?” He asked.

“Really,” you said.

“Okay, that’s REALLY annoying,” Mikey said.

“What happened?” Gerard asked.

“Frank and Y/N finally told each other the truth,” Ray said.

“Good. Now please never fight or break up so we don’t lose a drummer or a guitarist,” Gerard said.

“Believe me, I don’t plan on it,” Frank said, grinning at you. You kissed him gently on the lips, leaving it at a quick peck so the other guys wouldn’t give you shit.

You supposed that being left behind did have its perks, but it never happened again. Frankie made sure of that.

love for the rich and emotionally stunted: a comprehensive guide

ch. 1/7 -- prev. -- next. pairing: jumin han x f!reader warnings: n/a series summary: in the months following the incident with his father's most recent paramour, glam choi, the corporate heir of C&R finds himself discovering exactly what it is that makes a person in love so blind. ao3 link

note: office romance slowburn. featuring hallmark tropes and bad flirting. enjoy the ride. hop into my inbox for a tag if you're interested though! kiss kiss.

You don’t mean for it to happen the first time.

Considering the state of your routine and your general efficiency (required when it comes to a job at C&R) it’s easy to say that showing up early is an ingrained habit. It had happened a few times too many when you’d first started working and just sort of stuck. However.

It’s thirty minutes past schedule when you wake up in a state of panic, rushing and grabbing for clothes and keys and wallet before stumbling out the door.

But for as much as you’d worried, it all turns out fine. You’re still on time, a nice man holds the door open for you--you don’t think you’ve seen him before, or maybe you’re so distressed your brain doesn’t recognize the face--and there aren’t any consequences. You don’t get yelled at. You aren’t behind. Really, you should have overslept more often.

So the next day you set your alarm a little later than usual and allow yourself to sleep. It goes much smoother than the day before and you still make it on time, looking much better than you had 24 hours prior. The same man--you think-- holds the door open for you, and you glance back to smile and thank him.

Except you really must have been too stressed to notice because the man you’re staring at is the executive director and immediate heir to C&R.

Your smile falls.

And then you choke out a noise of gratitude that’s supposed to sound like “Thanks,” but the shock in your voice turns it to audible mush. Mr. Han only hums in return and walks past you with all the dignity and poise of a seasoned Calvin Klein model. Your heart hammers with a startling lucidity at the surprise of it all but it isn’t anything that you think much of, so you make it back to your desk on time and it’s all fine, it’s all fine. It isn’t until about an hour later that you realize it’s probably the first time you’ve seen him so close in person.

Not that it matters, of course, but then it does - because it happens again.

And again, and again.

The routine continues for about a week: the “thank you,” the hum of a response, and no further conversation besides that at the door. You’ve gotten to catch longer glimpses of him as this routine has gone on, the shine of his hair, this grey of his eyes, but there’s something that intrigues you infinitely more. You haven’t gotten him to smile and it nags at you, incessant. So you’re determined to do it now.

You crack a joke about his consistency the next time you see him, a smile playing coy at your lips. He just hums again. Killjoy.

“What?”

“What?” You ask, turning on your heel. His voice is much deeper than in the press interviews.

“Were you calling me a killjoy?”

“Not intentionally, no.” You quip back, face feeling hot. You turn again and begin walking back, nursing the humiliation you can already feel pricking at your nerves. “Have a nice day, Mr. Han.”

You think he says something like “You too,” but you wouldn’t notice it over the rush in your ears.

That went well.

Another day passes, another routine, rinse and repeat. He doesn’t seem bothered by yesterday’s incident, so you’re planning to talk to him again tomorrow, just to give it a day in between. It’s going to get annoying soon, but he’s neither fired nor closed the door in your face so in all situations, it really is a win-win.

Jumin Han opens the door for you, wordlessly as ever. You spare a glance at him.

“I’d considered arriving late just to get a reaction out of you, and then I realized that I wouldn’t even be there to see it.” You quirk your head in wait, watching as the corners of his lips twitch into an unwitting smile.

Mirth is very becoming on him, you realize. Oh no.

“I’m sure it would be quite the sight, Miss.” He replies, that same almost-smile creasing a dimple into his cheek. When he nods his good morning and walks off to the tippity-top of the C&R building, all the office lights seem a little brighter in the wake.

You shake yourself from your musings and an intern is already brushing past you in their hurry to return to their place-- wherever that may be, and it reminds you to do the same. C&R International, with all its focus on exports, has a wide breadth when it comes to fashion. Having directed several of its projects, you know this firsthand. You also know that when your schedule isn’t filled to the brim, everything else seems like busywork.

For the first time in a few months you feel like a regular, 9-to-5 office worker.

Additionally, this means that you’ve returned to being hyped up on watery coffee all the time. The building’s cafeteria is a modern marvel in and of itself, overpriced as its food may be. Your break is just long enough for you to catch two-thirds of a meal and a conversation if the mood strikes, otherwise a whole meal and a moment to catch up on social media. Having just passed the two-thirds-meal mark, you’re surprised to see someone else approaching your seat.

Funnily, horribly enough, it’s Mr Han himself, who’s looking at you with the same unbidden curiosity that a child might grant a particularly fascinating caterpillar.

“You work here,” he says, without greeting. It’s an innocent enough statement.

Did he not know? That you work here? Was he under the impression that you’d just started showing up for his own personal amusement and one-sided banter at the beginning of the month?

“Uh,” you say. “Yes.”

He blinks at you. You think for a moment that he might fire you on the spot. You don’t know why.

“I have a lanyard,” you say dumbly, holding it up. You wave it around a little. Mr Han nods, looking professional as ever. “I see,” he says. “Work hard.” And then he leaves, Italian leather on polished marble and all. You still need to finish the rest of your salad.

It’s almost ironic, the fact that you arrive late the next day.

After the strange half-encounter with Mr. Han, you’ve given yourself a moment of contemplation. Surely if the man hadn’t given a second thought to you besides your shared mornings-- not even a minute, besides-- then there wouldn’t be any point in pursuing him any further. He hadn’t even realized you worked there, not really.

Office romances never work out, anyhow.

You don’t even know if it was an office romance that you were pursuing in the first place. Perhaps it would have been nice, just to have another friend at work. Not that you were lacking, only that everyone had already seemed to settle in their routines and you’d been so busy, and well. Some things work out that way, and it’s not like you’re awful at small talk.

You’re running to the door of the office building, shoes clacking noisily against the pavement. You have to open the door for yourself this time.

“I thought you were kidding about arriving late to see my reaction.”

You think your neck just about cracks with the speed you turn to the noise. Mr Han stands not two meters from you, head tilted curiously in that same innocent wonder. He looks sort of sheepish, though you can’t quite figure why.

“I’m, uh--” You stare at him then, really take him in. Nothing comes. “I’m late for work.”

His eyes widen a fraction. And then he starts chuckling, softly, and it’s petrichor after rain, a deep tenor from low in his throat that has you suddenly, instantly warm. It isn’t much, not really.

But then you start laughing too, familiar and gleeful and it’s almost like you weren’t having a deep monologue about him that spanned most of last night. When you meet his eyes again, warm like the earth, it’s enough to boil hope in you, sunlight spilling over.

You don’t know for what yet, but you figure it’s something you’d like to find out.
