I looked around and didn't see anything about this on your blog but I apologize if I missed it.

I was wondering, what does doing the work behind this blog...feel like? I guess what I'm asking is if it does anything to you. Like, I had a thought. For a flash, I imagined you as Butters from South Park in that episode where he is tasked with filtering out all the negative comments on Cartman's social media. It ended up really messing with Butters, what with him having to see all that negativity.

You're definitely not being affected to that extreme, I assume, but I wonder if you would have anything to say about the process of finding these negative posts and reading them several times to edit them. Has it exposed you to unpleasantness that you wouldn't have otherwise seen? Or is there perhaps a kind of catharsis in editing such filth?

I'm making a lot of assumptions here. Maybe I'm also asking about your process. I just think what you're doing is neat and would love to hear about your experience with it.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have plenty of reasons to feel joy <3

oh boy, i love talking about myself haha—so thank you for giving me an excuse to do so! i have answered similar questions in the past, though never at length. every once in a while, someone pops into the inbox to ask about my mental health (which, rest assured, is just fine—i don’t put this blog’s operation above anything; it’s honestly pretty low on my list of life-priorities), and it’s always quite sweet. having a mob of strangers following one’s sideblog has its perks: one being that sometimes parasociality results in some well wishes, kind thoughts, and general goodwill. which is very nice, and probably an unearned vanity-boost for my ego.

what does the work behind this blog feel like? in turns: mundane, challenging, vindicating, annoying, amusing… and probably other things that i’m forgetting. most of the work i do on this blog is actually me procrastinating! i am a certified adult with a job™, and i’m definitely guilty of slacking off at work sometimes to queue posts submissions from my inbox, which is more fun than like… proofreading financial documents and making spreadsheets. other times, i’m sitting in a café with my partner, and allegedly i’m “writing” fanfiction. but, uh, if you know any writers, you know that sometimes “writing” means, ‘looking at a blinking cursor’. so it’s in those moments that i open up tumblr and start writing image descriptions and adding tags to prep posts for my queue. that’s mainly when the blog feels mundane.

something that i think helps me avoid negative doomscroll-spirals is that i don’t actively seek out bad posts for this blog. being a citizen of the internet delivers fodder to me naturally. that, and running a semi-popular sideblog on tumblr. when i see a bad post in the wild, that’s when the feeling is annoying/challenging. challenging, because ever since starting this sideblog, hateful posts don’t feel as vicious to me. once i see them, they stop being posts and turn into word-puzzles. and i love word puzzles!

solving the word puzzle is amusing for me, as is getting to look at my resulting “blackout poem.” it makes me laugh, it stretches my brain. when i started, i used to have to read a post several times to find the ‘good post within the bad post’ so to speak. these days, i’m so used to it, i barely read the bad posts more than a handful of times. but as i was saying to my partner, one of the reasons i love found poetry (erasure poetry, and cut-up poetry) is that it uses the same part of my brain that loves scrabble (the board game). then, of course, it's vindicating to see my posts get so many notes, sometimes surpassing the original bad post. that's more of my own vanity, i'm sure.

as for the last part of your message: yes, i have plenty of reasons to feel joy. i work with people who respect me, i live walking distance from a bubble tea café, and have friends and family whom i love. i have the good fortune to be safely out as a queer person. i’m a fanbinder. i’m currently working on a long fanfiction which is getting some very nice comments on ao3. and i’ve recently decided to become a poet (like, for real).

i must admit, i’m fascinated by how you imagine me. i often wonder how i am perceived, especially because i keep many cards close to my chest here on my sideblog.

anyhow, thank you for this excuse to ramble about myself and the process of running this blog. i hope you also have plenty of reasons to feel joy 💛

#what are your headcanons about me i'm so curious #ask fbp #ittybittykittyfingers

Need some Halloween requests in this inbox, could you do a scenario with the dorm leaders where the S/O asks them trick or treat and doesn’t matter what the dorm leaders say but the S/O gives them a kiss either on lips or cheek as the trick/treat? Thank you

Aw this is cute, thank you for the ask! It is Halloween today so happy Halloween everyone!

Dorm Leaders receive a Halloween kiss from their s/o

Riddle

He knows that Halloween is big in the school and all the students are excited to go around trick or treating in the school. He, on the other hand, can't go have fun because he's busy with studying

But you decide to go and give him some Halloween spirit. Showing up in a simple ghost costume to fit Ramshackle's theme, you knock on his door and ask him trick or treat

Opening the door, Riddle smiles and greets you. But he notices that you're holding a small basket with some candy inside, seems you were going around trick or treating. He sadly says he's busy and didn't plan on getting visitors, which means he'll just have to entertain your trick.

You smile and decide to quickly peck him on the lips, before Riddle can chase you down for the sudden move you run away and say that it wasn't a trick. Riddle smiles to himself, the treat wasn't that bad

Leona

He was too lazy to bother with Halloween that he decided to sleep in. Meanwhile with you, you were busy with the first years running around and grabbing candy

You knock on his door near the end of your trip. At first everyone was against it because who knows how pissed he might be! But you reassured them that you had a plan and it would be alright

Leona opened the door, looking a bit tired and asked what you wanted. He saw the others around you, all in costumes, and you thrusted a bucket in his face with the question "trick or treat"

Rolling his eyes, he chuckled and said he didn't have anything for you, but you would have to think twice before deciding to trick him. To his surprise however, you just quickly peck his lips and run off, making the first years all freeze up for a second and quickly run after you shouting "WHAT WAS THAT!" Leona's just standing there dumbfounded, a bit happy but more surprised that you managed to catch him off-guard

Azul

He was helping with Mostro Lounge's Halloween event. There were special drinks and desserts served, and because of the amount of people there was in the lounge he had to be there to help out.

You had other plans however. Going around with the first years you decided to stop by and ask Azul the Halloween question. He had to have some treats right?

Surprisingly, he had absolutely no candy left because everyone who came to the lounge earlier had taken it. "Well, I guess it's a trick then," Azul smiled at you, daring you to do something. Ace and Deuce were hyping you up, thinking you were going to prank him somehow but instead you pecked him on the lips

Azul turned red, maybe redder than Riddle. He stumbled back a bit, "Y-Y/n!" he stammered. You smiled at him and ran off, telling the first years you were running over to Scarabia. Azul hoped no one would see him blushing so hard but the tweels saw it. He's going to get teased about this for a week haha

Kalim

He was honestly the one to go trick or treating with you. The two of you were having a lot of fun and in the end you guys were trading candy between you guys because who knows he could've gotten candy you wanted and vice versa

But while doing this, he was asked by you "trick or treat" as sort of a joke. All the housewardens had been in charge of passing out candy but Jamil decided to do this job for Kalim's sake. He said that he would of course give you candy, but you had other plans

Leaning in, you quickly pecked him on the lips. He was surprised, eyes wide and just a quick "Wah!" Right after that however he was laughing and said that you got him. "Well I guess I received my treat tonight!"

You two end up watching some Halloween movies. Jamil comes by to the lounge when he's done and asks what you guys were up to and that's when Kalim suddenly decides to throw a Halloween party :/

Vil

He's so serious about Halloween but only for the aesthetics. He doesn't like candy, he doesn't care about giving candy to people. Honestly he's only doing the celebrations so he can dress up :/

You end up trick or treating with Epel and other first years. Finally when reaching Pomefiore once again, you knock on Vil's door directly. Epel thinks your crazy for that but you know what you could probably survive

Vil opens the door and hears a choir of "trick or treat." Before he can close his door again you stop him and ask if he has any candy at all, but he just replies with a curt "Of course not." You sigh, and decide to go with your plan

You kiss him on the lips. A bit of his black lipstick gets on your own lips and you run off before he can stop you, making all the first years follow you while asking how you caught him off-guard. Vil just smiles to himself. You really got him there

Idia

He wasn't leaving his room. Tonight there would be so many Halloween events on his games that he couldn't miss! Because of this, only Ortho and you were going out for candy.

You two eventually returned and you decided to ask Idia if he wanted any candy. So, going up to his room, you knock on his door to see if he was still there. Turns out of course he was as he opens the door to you and Ortho holding buckets full of sweets

"Trick or treat!" You joke, and he looks surprised. "I don't have anything, sorry I wasn't planning on participating-" before Idia can finish his sentence you quickly peck his lips

Ortho and Idia make the same "Wha" but Idia's hair flares up. You laugh, patting him on the back, saying you were joking about the trick or treat thing. "C'mon, I was gonna ask if you wanted some candy," you take him hand while he's still covering his face with his other hand

Malleus

He knew trick-or-treating was a thing but he never got the chance to participate. While he wanted to go around and get candy, he also wanted to just help out Lilia pass out candy. So, he stuck with that

You eventually came back to Diasomnia with the first years. They were all scared to go up and ask Malleus for treats and Sebek thought it would be mocking in some way. So, they all left it to you.

Going up to Lilia and Malleus, you ask them the question. Malleus looks happy to see you, complimenting your costume before dropping in a few sweets. He thinks you'll just continue your trip around the school but you suddenly lean in and kiss him

"There's yours, happy Halloween!" you wink at him and run off to where the first years are standing in the back haha. Malleus just looks dumbfounded and Lilia's laughing at how you caught him off guard

Hi Amy, I'm the cursed anon who asked Neil lol (and I guess I'll stay anon for all my life after what happened today). I just wanted to thank you for what you wrote. I was sure my ask would have reached your blog somehow, alas. I don't know what to say, I'm mortified, it's been a rather hard day for me, since I felt completely misunderstood and belittled by someone I looked up to. I'm sorry because I must have phrased my ask in a weird way, an even "creepy" one, it seems.. By the way, I'm so glad you didn't find anything creepy in that, because I don't know for the life of me what I said that was perceived that way. I spent the entire day thinking about it and, at the same time, I tried to distract myself from shame. I don't know how to describe it, but this answer made me question so many things, about my mental health too, and I definitely didn't need that. He could have just said that he didn't quite understand what I meant, instead he only made me feel stupid and fed me to the lions. I mean, of course I know that season 2 is wrapped for example, I just wanted to tell him that maybe this sort of casting might be a future problem for season 3, and that I hope it won't be an issue for season 2, even though I saw many people turning up their nose already. (As I also bloody know that David Tennant and Michael Sheen are actors playing a part, evidently this is not what my concerns were!) I really don't know how to better explain it, English is a hard language to convey things sometimes. Neil doesn't speak any other language than it, and it shows honestly, because he doesn't know how hard it is for someone who is not native; me asking that might have been an impulsive decision, but I really tried to do my best with the language, it was hard, and it's like he pretended he didn't understand nevertheless. I don't know, I'm so disappointed by such a response. I thought it was more likely that he just read and didn't answer, but that condescending response? I didn't expect that. I'm sorry that I made him so sour/sharp/harsh (I don't know which adjective is the more appropriate in this case, and it drives me crazy that it can take so little to be misinterpreted, that's what I was referring to) because evidently I must have offended him or hit a nerve, which was not my intention. I might have been stupid to ask that, but if the ask was so annoying to him, it's not like he was obliged to answer it and being so cruel at the point to completely distort its meaning. Do I regret it? I do, but maybe without all of this, I wouldn't have ever seen this side of him, and I'm for the truth, even if it always tastes bittersweet, so.. Good to know, I guess.

Sorry for ranting! Oh my god, I didn't realise, it's just that it's still an open wound to me. Coming back to you, I wanted to tell you that even if you might not agree with me (you have all the right not to), your response is actually the kind I expected from a man of power who is twice my age (just saying). Thank you for always being so considerate and tactful, you really did made me feel a little better. I wish there were more people like you in the world, I mean it.

(Sorry for the disappeared ask, I deleted the account after sending it, thinking that it would have stayed in your inbox once it was there.. Well, I was wrong haha. I'm going to delete it after you answer then, I had reactivated it just because you turned the anons off and I wanted to thank you instantly <3)

Hi, Anon. Oh, I am so sorry for what you went through yesterday. I'm also floored to have you reach out to me, as I didn't even realize you were aware of my blog, but I thank you for doing so and sharing your thoughts/feelings with me.

It saddens me so greatly to know how much Neil's response has hurt you, and how it has affected your mental health. If the comments on my post about what happened are indication, however, you are definitely not the only one who felt that his response was not okay. What you said about feeding you to the lions was something one of my followers also mentioned, and whether Neil intended it or not, I would have to agree with that assessment.

The fact is, Neil is a writer. He knows how powerful words can be, and how suggestive. So by calling your question "creepy" in that first sentence, he is creating the lens through which the reader is going to view your question. And so what I would say is that two things can be true here, which is that 1) You have every right to feel the concerns you do, but trying to engage Neil about it was probably not the best idea; and 2) Neil has the right to feel/say what he wants, but deciding to answer your question the way he did instead of simply ignoring it was also probably not the best idea.

I don't know if you've been on his blog at all today, but Neil actually went into a bit more detail about his rationale, re: the use of the word "creepy" in the comments on this post, as part of a back-and-forth exchange with another fan who again brought up the issue of nepotism. I thought I would highlight these two comments in particular:

What I was struck by in the comment on the left was two specific things: 1) Neil's mention of the "undertones" to your question. Going by what you wrote, Anon, as well as the message that you've written here, I do not think there were any undertones to your Ask--with the possible exception of calling Neil's character into question (which, if he was hoping to squash that, it is now beyond ironic that his response to you has achieved the exact opposite); and 2) That someone who has been described as "so Tumblr" and "Neil gets it" would somehow be oblivious to how venomous people can be on social media, especially when encouraged by the creators of their favorite works, and why someone would therefore not want to make themselves a potential target. In just the first sentence of his response to you, however, Neil proved exactly why you were right to use a burner account.

In terms of the comment on the right, we see Neil draw a false equivalence between your question and people criticizing him for casting POC actors in Sandman. This was (in my opinion) Neil doing this fan what he did to you, which is twist around what they were saying as a means of deflection and avoiding answering the question that was actually being asked, which was about nepotism. The other irony for me is him talking about people accusing him of having a secret agenda, while he was the one doing the same thing to you. The only difference is that his assumption ended up having serious consequences, as we are now seeing.

I think you did hit a nerve, Anon, but--as strange as it may sound--I don't think it had anything to do with you. My feeling is that there is something going on with Neil and he is using Tumblr as an outlet--much in the same way that Michael used Twitter as an outlet in 2019/2020. So I do not think you are "cursed" or "made" Neil be salty/harsh--I think he was already this way and took whatever is happening with him out on you. Because if everything was absolutely fine--if what you were mentioning in your question was totally ridiculous and Neil was entirely unbothered by it--I do not think he would have answered it, nor would he still have been engaging this fan about it for hours afterward.

I know this probably won't be of much comfort, and I am sorry. English is not my second language, but I am autistic, and I relate very deeply to what you described about searching so hard for the right words (which is probably why it takes me forever to answer my Anons) because of not wanting to be misunderstood. And I know very well what it's like to have someone you so greatly admired turn out to be not at all what you expected, especially when everyone else's perception of that person is so wildly different.

It is for that reason that I can understand fans on here and Twitter rushing to defend Neil, not wanting to feel that someone they love could possibly do anything wrong. "Neil is a human being" is a comment I've seen frequently...but if we are going to say that Neil is human, then that means he is imperfect. It means he makes mistakes. And it should not be controversial to say this. I've also seen people in the aftermath of this saying how kind Neil is to the fans...but his response to you was unkind. Setting someone up to be a target is not kind. Neil has so many people who write into him who are dealing with mental health issues and concerns, and at best his response to you was thoughtless...but at worst, it sends a message to other fans that they, too, could become targets for absolutely no reason. And while I do not believe that Neil owes the fans anything, having an awareness of the power he wields and a sense of basic human decency does not seem like much to ask.

You do not ever have to apologize for ranting to me, Anon. I'm so glad that what I wrote in my other post helped you to feel better, even if just a little. I am by no means perfect--far from it--but I've been in enough fandoms and had enough heartaches to know that I would want to do anything I could to spare someone else from going through the things I went through. The shame here is not yours for asking a question that yielded a disproportionate overreaction from Neil--the shame belongs to the people who piled onto you because of it.

I want you to know that I was truly touched by your compliments, and that you felt comfortable enough to be so vulnerable with me here. I'm sending you lots of love, as well as the hope that we can continue to have honest discussions about these subjects. A lot of people are with you, and believe me when I again tell you that you are not alone. xx

#anonymous #reply post #good omens #good omens 2 #neil gaiman #michael sheen #david tennant #also FWIW I do agree with you Anon #regarding the nepotism #especially when it comes to Georgia and AL #but that's a whole other post for a whole other day #the GO fandom has meant so much to me since 2019 #so all of this has been so disquieting on so many levels #my heart hurts #fandom woes #discourse

Hello there folks!

now you may be wondering what this wacky blog is or just want more information on the monster running it! So here is that in a single post 😈

Numero 1- hey hello, I am Gecko, call me by whatever (what? it's not a gender reveal, I like to keep em guessing!)

Number 2- I am an artist but also just a shitposter so you'll see lots of reblogs and doodles (either of my own creations or things I enjoy)

Number 3- my inbox is most likely open, so confess your love for me! Or I guess you can ask me about my stories and characters or whatever goofy stuff you guys can think of 🙄

Number 4- this goes back to number 3 Don't ask super "goofy", uncomfortable things, I still have to read it meaning don't send me spice or cross boundaries of my own smh

Number 5- I do actually speak ✨️Español✨️ so if you see a post in an alien language🙀 just know it's Spanish! Don't test my Spanish skills though, I know I'll manage to mess up

Number 6- I'm a little shy so if I don't friend/dm or follow you just know I'm trying my best 🤧 🤠(also do understand that even if I do chat with you, I still dont know you and you dont know me! so there will be a boundaries there compared to people I know irl)

Lastly number 7- haha, get away from me if your homophobic and racist🥰🤩

EXTRA:

I do have a few stories but the main one I have posted right now does not have a name YET, but does center around this character named Luis, so feel free to make art and ask questions about my boy! (Dw there are many other characters too and more to the story I'll dump eventually😏 )

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any required therapy from prolonged exposure to my art.

#little bit of info on me oh yeah bb

To the peep in my inbox here ya go, fuck it:

Tldr: an anti posts ship hate in a tag, a trans person tells them to tag it, the anti is offended and bullies them for months, and calls them a transphobe for fictional headcanons the anti also has, and calls them a number of slurs including crazy, cissy, etc, until they leave and possibly commit suicide.

The anti’s name is “Howl” and he’s @eightdoctor.

The victim is Jazz @angerissue @helicarrier.

For Howl, I looked through his blog to see if I could find anything on him, and he lives in the uk or across the pond, based on timezones, and he’s posted a lot of selfies so if you ever come across someone like this, steer fucking clear if you value your mental health. (This is readily accessible public info on his blog fwiw.) I feel sick to my stomach so I’ll just post all the shit I found.

I think it started with this,

Howl posted anti shit in a character tag:

https://eightdoctor.tumblr.com/post/672832902144376832/wait-this-person-is-so-crazy-check-this-shit

He was obviously looking to start shit and annoy people and be a ship policer, but Angerissue pointed this out and she got so much harassment in return.

Howl literally reblogged that ship post over and over again to shit on Angerissue with new little "damning things” he got from her huge HUGE blog that she ran, like did he just sit on her blog for hours to find these tiny things or wtf?? There’s so much stuff on her blog, I can’t even begin to think how he even found what he was posting. What happened to don’t like don’t read:

https://eightdoctor.tumblr.com/post/676090902015524864

After that came this:

https://eightdoctor.tumblr.com/post/676032972316688384/this-person-went-to-the-er-cuz-i-called-them-out

“Haha cissy”

“White savior tendencies”

What the actual fuck?

I looked at Angerissue’s posts and things to see if I could find any white savior narrative and I found literally nothing, not even anything about race at all.

“I wish they’d died in the er actually”

He literally encouraged his posse to bully her off tumblr, a bunch of antis joined in. Someone said Angerissue blocked them and it must have meant she was a homophobe (noo, it couldn’t be because they were harassing her, no way, she must have blocked them because she’s a homophobe, these fucking wankers with no compassion). Someone said “wow she posted all that instead of just apologizing” when nobody asked for an apology or even tried to talk to her, it was all attacks!

https://waxwingsfail.tumblr.com/post/672859227785773056/brooo-are-we-just-gonna-ignore-this

Look at all the checkboxes this guy checks off. He calls Angerissue ableist while being ableist himself (“this person is crazy”), and while Angerissue I’m guessing is disabled because she has migraines! And lots of other things he can’t even substantiate, while he acts hateful about cis people himself and calls her a “cissy”. I’m fucking LIVID.

I guess nobody actually went to Angerissue to talk to her, they just jumped into the mob with their pitchforks.

The only KIND OF questionable thing was “female pronouns” but a lot of people make that mistake and I checked Angerissue’s blog, she had changed it?? And any thing else just seems like bad wording, I don’t see any actual transphobia, she checks out to be an actually good person and her comments on her blog even say she was open to fixing things she does wrong, I just.

All of Angerissue’s phrasing was easily explained by ignorance or just bad wording, and I know someone who gets migraines, sometimes you just fuck up your words (idr what the name for that is) so that’s a possibility too, why attribute such tiny fuckups to malice right out of the gate?!

(Don’t even get me started on Howl’s about page. He’s obviously an anti so this whole thing just reeks of a smear campaign.)

Also Howl has a headcanon of his own about Bruce Banner (the character Angerissue writes and Howls’ special interest) having internalized homophobia too, so why did he say “lol they made them a transphobe with their whole chest” about Angerissue like it was an attack on her as a person?? And say “can we bully her off the website now”?

https://eightdoctor.tumblr.com/post/180778623661/what-are-your-top-10-headcanons-about-bruce

He was shitting on Angerissue and telling people to bully her for literally the same headcanon he has! What a hypocrite.

I also found this joke post a long time back into his blog, but obviously it’s not just a joke for him, it’s something he bullied Angerissue over because he couldn’t accept her own headcanons and he even bullied her over things he had the same headcanon for (but he didn’t mention that of course, because if Angerissue was horrible for having that headcanon it would mean he was too, and he couldn’t have that could he?):

https://eightdoctor.tumblr.com/post/177280551336

Also Howl captured a paragraph where Angerissue explained Bruce Banner’s mental illness started in his childhood then got worse when he met another character (Wanda maximoff), and right below that, even tho the EVIDENCE WAS RIGHT THERE IN THE CAPTURE, Howl accused Angerissue of making that new character cause Bruce Banner’s mental illness instead of it starting in his youth (here, under the reblog with the weird dick comment...)

This went on for months apparently.

The worst part is, Angerissue says she is nonbinary on her blog so I can’t imagine how hard this was for her, imagine being called a transphobe for a headcanon by someone who has the same headcanon.

Edit: Thanks to a comment I just learned that “cissy” is a derogatory slur made towards cis people, so by calling Angerissue “cissy” Howl was implying she wasn’t trans (or nonbinary), but cis. If that isn’t transphobic, idk what is. You can’t take identities away to bully or punish people, holy shit.

Now Angerissue seems to have not been on for months, and she made some very worrying posts about killing herself. I was talking to one of her friends which is how I found about all this, and they haven’t heard from her either, even though they’ve been in good contact for a year. Angerissue put ten years of her life into a passion character, she made gut-wrenchingly beautiful gifs and fics and made a mainstay blog for the roleplay commuity, and this is what she got. This was the kind of person she was. I hope she’s still alive but I don’t know if she is, and I’m horrified and sick and something needs to be done even if that isn’t the case.

THIS ISNT FUNNY, ITS NOT A FUCKING JOKE, STOP BULLYING PEOPLE OVER FUCKING HEADCANONS OR HONEST MISTAKES BECAUSE YOU WANT A TEMPORARY LAUGH ABOUT HOW (NOT) MORALLY SUPERIOR YOU ARE, YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKS.

Footnote edit 1: Confirmation directly from Jazz's blog that Howl spent at least 3 hours initially on her blog to dig around for things, then posted more things after a month, and a lot more things that prove Howl's accusations about her were false.

five steps — part 1 — denial, karaoke with taehyun (hueningkai x fem!reader, additional platonic!ot4 x fem!reader)

INTRO RIGHT HERE | NEXT

wc: 2.4k words

summary: hueningkai’s idea had intrigued everyone. and that was how you ended up, this monday, going to a karaoke bar with taehyun.

genre: hurt/comfort, angst, some fluff, smut in the last part of the fic, MINORS DNI!!

content warning: the reader uses she/her pronouns, has attachment issues and very low self esteem, gets delusional. intrusive thoughts, swearing

a/n: opening sequence as a song is used, but txt aren’t idols in this story!! also whether you can sing or not doesn’t really matter, hyuka is just so in love with everything that you do :’) i really hope you enjoy ><

big big thank you to both @1004tyun and @shampgyu for always being there for me and checking all my snippets and encouraging me 🥹🩷 i love you both so much!!

taglist: @mazeinthemoon (if you want to be added you can ask me through my inbox or messages 🥹)

Beep. Beep. Beep.

A groan escaped your lips, you did not want to wake up. The first thing your gut told you to do was lazily raise your arm and tap on whatever was letting out the beeping sound of your alarm.

One tap, two taps… The third tap was when you finally heard silence again and let a sigh out of relief.

I can see you in my memories, dance with me, dance with me, dance with me.

Your eyes abruptly opened widely.

“Who on earth is calling me at this time?!” you grumbled, trying your hardest to get ahold of your cell phone before your ringtone would stop playing.

A big yawn left your mouth as you narrowed your eyes, checking the time displayed on your phone’s screen.

10:30 AM.

You immediately saw — and should’ve guessed by the ringtone — that Taehyun was the one calling you.

“Hi?” you picked up.

“Hi, Y/N! You’re free today right?” His question was a little unexpected.

You had taken the week off, you were supposed to go on a short vacation with your boyfriend.

Seems like you can just go fuck yourself right? Haha. So funny! He left! Woohoo!

“Y/N?” Taehyun’s voice startled you a little.

It was complicated to stay completely there with your friend, because you kept being bombarded with intrusive thoughts of you and your boyfriend.

Nevertheless, you tried your hardest to be responsive with Taehyun.

“Sorry uhm. Yes, you’re right, I’m free the entire week!”

Then, Taehyun cheered a bit, making your jaw tense.

It wasn’t really in character for him to be so enthusiastic about potentially spending time with you.

Kai being excited to hang out with you? A likely scenario.

Taehyun on the other hand, was closer to Kai than he was to you. At least, that was the impression you had of him.

“Why are you asking me that though?” you heard the boy hum a bit.

“Do you like singing?” he didn’t answer your question, which confused you even more.

“If screaming my favorite songs and hoping for the best is considered singing then yes I guess you could say that.” you weren’t sure what it was about that boy making your sarcasm levels rise, but you were pretty happy with that answer.

He seemed to have appreciated it as well, since you could hear him giggle.

“Y/N! How about we go to a karaoke bar today? Hm?” Your eyes widened in shock.

Why did that sound so exciting?

“I’d love to…” you replied softly, feeling your cheeks hurt because you were starting to smile so wide.

“Excellent! I’ll come pick you up at 4PM okay? Make sure to be on your best day, we are gonna have so much fun!” You had never heard Taehyun be so excited before, but the emotions he was conveying through his voice were so contagious.

I’m really excited. I’m not going to be alone.

Once again, you smiled and got off the bed right away, thinking about the kind of outfit you should wear for the day.

You had to start off this new Monday, the first day of the week, with your breakfast, a staple — a bowl of your favorite cereal…

While you were munching on those sweet foods, images flashed through your mind, completely out of your control.

Your boyfriend and you. You were wearing the prettiest skirt, you could envision it — it was actually your favorite one to wear when you were hanging out with him.

The two of you were holding hands, smiling at each other.

‘My butterfly…’ as he loved to call you… ‘I will love you till eternity… you’re the reason I am happy in this life…’ his words always seemed surreal yet brought you so much comfort.

Maybe it wasn’t over just yet?

Right?

Maybe this was all just a misunderstanding…

I can see you in my memories, dance with me, dance with me, dance with me.

Your ringtone snapped you out of your reverie.

“Taehyun?” you picked up again, wondering why the boy was calling you back so soon.

“Hey Y/N, how are you?” His question surprised you.

You were wondering if, according to Taehyun, you did sound fine, when you two first called.

“I’m good, and you? Is there something wrong?”

Please don’t cancel, please don’t cancel, please don’t cancel.

I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone.

You couldn’t hide it from yourself that you were worried that Taehyun would be canceling your plans for today.

“I wanted to pick you up earlier if that’s okay with you? I’m already done with my workout routine…” You cooed in awe, knowing how dedicated that man was to working out.

And his offer to pick you up earlier than planned made you even happier.

“I’d love it! Thank you so much…” You were overjoyed, and Taehyun sounded as if he felt the same.

You hung up, smiling brighter than ever at the idea of the day ahead of you.

“Here we are! How does it look?” your eyes would be filled with hearts if you were in an anime, from how fun it looked to be there.

Taehyun reserved a spot for the two of you. It had a couch, a little table with a menu, a remote and a TV screen, connected to a microphone.

You sat down on the couch, gazing over the menu quickly.

“Oooh nice, they have desserts too, not just drinks!” you exclaimed, showing the menu to Taehyun who awed, being more interested in the microphone and how it worked.

In the end, Taehyun got himself some whiskey, being a heavyweight, while you ordered a cookie and a cocktail, not wanting yourself to get drunk.

“Okay, I got this down. Do you wanna start?” You felt heat spread across your cheeks as he handed the microphone over to you.

You nodded with a little gulp.

“What song are you going to sing?” the boy asked you and the answer was so obvious that you just looked back at him.

“Opening Sequence. That’s my favorite song.” His eyes widened.

The melody of the piano started, and you felt a slight tug at your chest from anxiety.

Taehyun had never heard you sing. What if he didn’t like it? Plus, that was the song he had recommended to you so long ago.

Lyrics started to escape your mouth naturally since you knew the song by heart.

Images began flowing back into your mind.

‘Pumpkin? My sweetheart… aren’t you the best thing that has happened to me in my life?’ your boyfriend’s words echoed through your brain.

You could see him, petting your hair as you two shared a milkshake at a cafe together.

“I can see you in my memories, dance with me, dance with me, dance with me.” you kept on singing, tears welling up in your eyes.

The emotions you felt as you were singing, ever so softly, because your strength had gone when he left too, were so painful.

It felt as if someone had taken away your happiness. It felt as if your heart had been ripped out of your chest.

Flashbacks felt so real.

Your boyfriend and you, kissing, only when you waited for the streets to be less crowded.

The mic left your hands without you even noticing, and it was only when a different — this time masculine — voice was singing your favorite song, that you almost woke up from the daydream you were having.

“Stay for me, stay for me, stay for me, I can’t get used to it, used to it, used to it.” You faced Taehyun who sang so emotionally.

He had never allowed you to hear him sing. Or maybe you had never taken the time to listen to him, to go out with him… your boyfriend always being your number one priority.

“This song is great, hm?” Taehyun looked over to you when he was done.

You blinked, still immersed into the world of Taehyun’s voice.

“You never let me listen to you sing…” you blurted out, finishing your sentence in a pout.

Taehyun was taken aback, starting to scratch the nape of his neck.

“Y/N… I just never got the opportunity to show you…” what he said made your heart pinch.

What could he possibly mean?

“But… I would’ve loved hearing you sing… you sing so well…” you reaffirmed your position with a fragile smile.

Taehyun winced, thinking it was time to get what he felt off his chest.

“Thank you so much Y/N… Unfortunately, I felt like… I didn’t really get time to hang out with you ever since you dated your guy… Hueningkai himself didn’t get that many chances to see you for a while…” His words felt like daggers, ever so sharp, specifically when you heard him say your best friend’s name.

Taehyun wasn’t someone who minced his words, and even then, you knew he was trying to hold himself back from being completely blunt.

“I’m sorry…” you looked down, feeling ashamed.

However, the boy tapped your shoulder to get your attention again.

You lifted your head up, although you were teary eyed.

“Y/N, it’s okay. Let’s just not think about it. I’m glad we are having some bonding time right now.” Taehyun asserted, making you smile…

Thoughts regarding your boyfriend were still disturbing you very much. However, Taehyun being there with you, singing his heart out, made you feel less lonely.

It was as though you could finally be distracted from all the pain, thanks to him.

You still felt guilty for not having paid enough attention to him — to any of your friends even — and understand better why he never felt that close to you. You had never managed to give him the time he needed to become a good friend of yours.

Hopefully, today was the beginning of a great long lasting friendship between the two of you.

“Come on Y/N! It’s your turn!” Taehyun called out for you.

“Okay let me choose another one!” you exclaimed back to him.

Both of you chose a variety of songs to sing for the whole afternoon, till the night settled.

Although it seemed to be starting on a sad note, Taehyun and you sang many other songs and had so much fun.

The boy had driven you back home and when you reached the door of your apartment, you looked at Taehyun with a grateful smile on your face.

“Thank you so much for today, Taehyun…” you said, quietly.

Something you didn’t expect from the said boy was that he suddenly got close – so close.

Then you felt a pair of soft lips caress your forehead for a few seconds.

An explosion of emotions burst inside of your whole body.

What was that? And why am I feeling so… good?

Your eyes darted towards Taehyun, who was smiling.

“Y/N… thank you…” he replied, making your heart jump.

You suddenly started asking yourself things you never thought you would ever, while looking at him, eyes shaky as ever from shock.

Is he the one? Maybe Taehyun’s been my one and only all along and I just refused to see it…

Questions were spiraling all over your head.

You bade each other goodbye, in your case not less perturbed by the scene.

Maybe we are going to date? Maybe we are going to marry? Oh gosh… maybe even have children!

Your cheeks were on flames, having you struggle with even unlocking the door of your apartment.

Happiness was filling your entire being as mental images started showing up into your brain.

Taehyun and you, at the altar; you were looking at each other so lovingly. He swore to you that he would never leave you, that you two would be the happiest couple there was in the universe.

You were ecstatic, euphoric.

A buzzing sound coming from your phone interrupted your train of erratic thoughts. You shook your head, feeling as if you were going crazy for even having – and enjoying – such scenarios.

“Y/N! I tried calling you, how are you?” when you got ahold of your phone again you saw a message from Kai.

A smile crept upon your face immediately.

“I’m good, and you? You would never guess this! Taehyun and I went to karaoke today! I’m sorry I wasn’t on my phone till now so I didn’t see your call nor your messages…” you replied, being granted an instant response from the boy.

“So nice! He must’ve been blessed with your voice haha.”

Kai’s message made you feel warmth in your chest that you couldn’t describe.

It’s like… he always focuses on the positive things happening to me… I don’t deserve him…

On top of that, Taehyun had not really told you anything about your singing. You knew he sang as a hobby, and he sang well for sure, but he never told you whether you did too.

“Stop haha! You’re the only one who thinks that, Taehyun didn’t care.”

Nonetheless, his message stayed deep in your mind. Part of you had suddenly wanted for Taehyun to also like your voice and say it to your face.

“It’s okay! I do.”

Two emotions of yours followed. A heat wave through your entire body, then a sudden ping of intense fear reached for your heart, which was beating so fast.

However, unlike the feeling you had experienced with Taehyun when he kissed your forehead, Kai’s message had left you with uncontrollable anxiety.

What is happening to me? Am I going completely insane?

Out of nowhere, the image of Kai and you holding hands flashed through your mind. Instead of feeling happy, you were terrified.

Moreover, Kai’s hold on your hand gradually loosened up, to the point where you weren’t linked anymore.

That night, you went to sleep in complete denial, not wanting to witness the image of Kai leaving you. Taehyun made his way into your head so easily that you decided to completely surrender to what your brain was suggesting you to think about.

Taehyun…

Hello, I have two questions before I make any requests:

1st-Do you do X Male Reader?

2nd-Are you open to writing... Incest?

If either OR both of these things bother you, I apologize and won't bother you with them again!

It's just that ever since I binged Netflix's Usher... my mind has been overflowing with naughty ideas, and I'm looking for someone with a kind heart and a kinky brain to write them.

i have a number of masc reader requests sitting in my inbox that i 100% plan to get to but 100% dont know what to do with right now? im just not wholly confident in my ability to capture that experience yet and i wanna make sure the fic is good for the person who requested it yknow? so by all means send in masc reader requests but just know it may sit there a while while i figure out what to do with it haha.

as for the other thing i think it depends, i guess? like i feel like a one on one with leo and camile is a wholly different scenario to leo and perry fucking the same guy together. maybe still iffy but not as morally off the walls if that makes sense?

either way if theres ever a request im not 100% comfortable writing for moral or personal reasons ill definitely let the requester know. thank you for asking tho! looking forward to any reqs you send in 😊

my reader feedback

these are all feedback from people who have gotten readings from me in the past, i have copied and pasted them from my inbox and dms. usernames have been blocked out partially for privacy.

*****etessvalentine asked:

Thanks so much for the reading! It resonates a lot, especially the imposter syndrome cause i don't even know how i'm here. Anyway have a great weekend!

*****summers asked:

Thank you for answering my question. I'm really glad to hear we can have a stable foundation together before any romance happens 👀 I also appreciate the energy you put into the reading. Tysm!! 💕

***07 asked:

Aww , I can’t believe I guessed right. I was afraid at first that I was just projecting, because I’m a hopeless romantic. I’m so excited and can’t wait to meet him. Thank you so much for this. You’re so great at this!!!!

*****ornianhoe asked:

Yeah indeed I feel more open than before with my emotions/feelings cuz I tend to self sabotage myself always haha 😃 and you're so on point in everything! Thank you love, I hope we can have the chance/opportunity to have more like this! I enjoyed it!

*****nn21-blog asked:

I’ve pretty much anticipated this kind of an answer, I guess I just keep getting cold feet lol. So, I can say your response resonates with what I’m feeling about the situation and the confirmation that it will go well really boosted me. Also, thank you for your opinions/advice, I’ll bear them in mind.

Thank you for your response and time, take care!

*****elyi asked:

I just saw my reading! I apologize for late reply. Everything you stated about me having a motherly energy and enjoying nature is very true, and the reading truly spoke to me. YESSSS, I'm have a graduation celebration soon ! Yes, I value and care about those who are close to me. I do think he doesn't like me romantically. I appreciate it; I had a great time reading this. very thankful

*****mochiq asked:

Thank you so much for such a great reading and taking the time and energy to do it! Appreciate it. Actually, I was shocked because I'm really introverted or more of a loner type and I've often wondered what would happen if I got into a committed relationship and they didn't respect my space. Since this is such a big deal to me, your mention of it actually made me sigh with relief lol. Yes, I too value my time and like to do things on my own, and sometimes my social battery runs out immediately so I prefer to take time away from ppl. I CANNOT TAKE IT, THIS IS SO SWEET! LIKE THE READING AS A WHOLE IS VERY NICE I'm incredibly excited to eventually meet this person. Thank you so much once again for this amazing reading, it resonated so much.

*****iadivina asked:

Feedback: thanks so much this resonated! Honestly the part about hiding emotions can be both 😅 but i will work on my part. And the teen part resonates too, it’s not so bright now but I’m glad that’s changing 🤍

For the fanfic writer emoji ask game: 🍦💌🤯🥰

thanks for the ask hotwife!!

🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?

haha, i should’ve known you would ask something like this! you fluff lover, you

... yeah, except i really don’t have that many options to choose from 😅 i do have my Kataang: Kiss 22 series and grazing among the stars, but they’re all drabbles (i.e. under 1k) so i don’t really count them 😅

i would have to say the sweetest fic i’ve written by far is meeting you (for the first time), a Kataang meets Gyatso ficlet requested by @itsmoonpeaches (because Peaches loves putting me out of my comfort zone without my permission -_-). but anyways, i do regard this one as the sweetest fic i’ve written because it’s... literally just fluff. pure fluff. and even then, i still wove in themes like how Katara trusts Aang, and how Katara is his family now and should meet his old family and ughhhhh, found family for Aang will always give me feels.

but yeah, definitely consider this the fluffiest fic!

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK MY BELOVED. the hit of dopamine when i see an email from AO3 saying i got a comment? UNMATCHED.

ngl tho, for feedback i do have a lot bit of rejection sensitivity. i’m still working on it and wrangling my pride into submission to listen to critiques, but i am open to it! feedback from another author once helped me develop my writing, so i appreciate any help i can get!

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

romance. definitely romance. i am not a romantic at heart, nor do i have much experience in romantic relationships, so i end up having to read countless other fics and listen to other people’s experiences to write romance. even then, i don’t really like pure romance; i love the deeper, more subtle aspects of a relationship, which i guess is why i really don’t write fluff so much as i write introspection.

also because i’m not horny enough to imagine that for the characters

🥰 How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?

um, YEAH? listen, if you want to pop into my inbox without prompting and ask me something about my fics or tell me something you enjoyed about a particular fic, PLEASE DO!

i’ve had this one reader for my multi-chapter, see the sky and sea (and remember me), send me asks telling me how much they enjoyed reading this fic. and i can’t tell you just how much i love it when i get an unprompted ask like that. it really shows that there are people out there who really do love my works and want to see more, and that’s what keeps me going!

Be honest how many asks do you get daily and how many asks do you have rn

Also: was there ever an ask that was so out of this world you couldnt answer it? (in a good and or bad way?)

haha i kind of let them pile up these last 3ish(??)days so i tried going through them both last night and today. it was about 13 total i think? but those were submitted over the course of 3 days so on average i think i get maybe 4 asks a day? which sounds about right. some days there's nothing and then they all come in the next day or i go to sleep with one and then wake up with 2 or 3 more 😊!

which i enjoy! i like talking to you guys and reading the absolute god-tier level of ideas you all have!!!! im so honored that so many of you share your ideas with me and let me add my input!!!

right now, you're actually the last one i have in my inbox after this last dozen! (oop my bad i went to get something and came back with this ask open and see a little blue circle on the mailbox so it looks like i just got another ask i'll be answering after this one! so i guess i have (1) more ask left??)

and for your final question the answer i'd say is kinda??? not in either a good or bad way or where i just either delete or let an ask sit in my inbox unanswered- it's just that some people send me headcanons and their own ideas that they want my take on but they do it off-anon. and it might be a little ironic but i have a sort of assumption of privacy so when someone off-anon sends an ask rather than 'post' it for everyone to see i reply so only they can see it. so unless implied or clearly stated that it's meant to be shared i usually answer it in direct response!

but for everything else, i do answer every ask! there hasn't been an ask that i couldn't answer! like i said to another anon i cast a pretty wide net in terms of interest and even things im not avidly interest in i can find a spin or angle of it that i'll like haha <3

-🐸 anon

waking them up to ask if they're asleep

includes: the brothers x/& gn!reader (no pronouns mentioned)

wc: .7k | rated g | m.list

a/n: this was super fun lmao i feel like mc would do this haha. i hope you enjoy! my inbox is open to chat/leave feedback but reqs are closed atm!

warnings: brief mentions of fire

please reblog v,,v

➳ lucifer rolls over, one eye cracking open to glare at you. “did you seriously just wake me up to ask if i was asleep?” he asks, unamused. you nod, and he heaves a big sigh. “go away,” he says, not in the mood for your antics. he’s already crabby enough when he has to get up for reals, and you’re seriously not helping. “go away,” he says again, turning back away from you, dead set on ignoring you for the rest of the night and getting as much sleep as he still can.

➳ mammon squints, confused. “wha?” he asks, and you repeat your question. “well, i’m awake now,” he replies, rubbing at his eyes. “did ya need something? why’d ya ask?” you don’t really have a good answer to that since you really just wanted to mess with him, and your silence clues him on that fact. “oh, screw you,” he mutters. “i was havin’ a good dream too. i was really rich, and you were there too. lucifer was too, but i think he was my servant or something.” mammon pouts. “you don’t deserve to be in such a great dream. i’m goin’ back to sleep and redreaming it, but this time, without ya.”

➳ levi snaps his eyes open, instantly aware. it’s honestly pretty creepy. “what?” he asks. “are you okay? why’d you wake me?” you repeat your question, this time also asking how he woke up so fast. “really?” he asks, shaking his head. “i was, i guess. and i trained myself to do that since i oversleep so often because i’m up late gaming.” he gulps. “don’t tell lucifer that, though! he threatened to take away all of my consoles last time he caught me.”

➳ satan scrunches up his face, unimpressed. “i was asleep, mc. and i’d very much like to be asleep once more. unless there was something you needed?” you shake your head, a bit cowed by his no-nonsense tone of voice, and he scoffs. “don’t wake me up again unless the house is burning down or something,” he instructs. “well, maybe not even then. if it’s a small fire, let me sleep. but if it starts getting too close then i guess i’ll get up.” you can’t tell if he genuinely means what he says of if he’s just sleep muddled, but in either case, you hope there’s not a fire.

➳ asmo gingerly pulls up his sleep mask, blinking a few times until you come into focus. “what did you just say?” he asks, and you repeat your question. “i’m awake now,” he eventually replies. “though i wish i wasn’t! my beauty sleep is totally important and now my cycle is messed up! if i get breakouts because of this, i’m blaming you,” he pouts prettily. “really mc, i thought you knew better.” gasping, he turns his concern towards you. “wait, what are you doing up? you’re going to have like, super dark circles under your eyes! oh, mc, go to sleep right now!”

➳ beel blearily makes an inquisitive noise, and you ask your question again. it takes a little bit for him to truly be aware enough to register your words, but when he does, he responds with concern. “i’m awake now. are you okay? why are you up?” his words are genuine, and he searches your face for any sign of distress. you just shake your head, telling him you were curious. “oh,” he says. “well, now that i’m up i might as well have a midnight snack. want anything?”

➳ belphie just doesn’t wake up. but did you really expect him to? you know he can sleep through almost anything. it was kind of dumb for you to think he would’ve, in hindsight. no matter how much you shake, poke, or prod at him, he doesn’t stir. when he finally does move, you get excited, think he’s waking, but all he does is shift, curling more into his pillow. miffed that your prank didn’t play out, you decide the second-best option is to climb in bed with him, so you do, wiggling into his hold. it’s not what you had expected to happen going into this, but hey, it's definitely not the worst outcome either.

Hellooo! This is my first time asking for a request here! And I've only recently found this acc and I've enjoyed reading your fics ever since. As for the request, can I ask an angst scenario about vegeta x reader where vegeta treats the reader like trash because he doesn't know how to express his affections properly and they're both lovers (bulma's with yamcha btw if thats okay). Until one day, the reader just couldn't handle his actions and is tired of being treated like shit so she snaps at him and ignores him all day. Its up to you how it ends but it'll be great to have it fluffy.

So this turned out really long! I hope this is what you were looking for! My inbox is open for requests everyone :-)

Y/N sat, grinning, as Bulma, Yamcha, and Krillin tittered about Bulma’s most recent science venture.

“Look, all I’m saying is that I need a new test subject! You’ve been through worse, right? It’s also a paid position,” Bulma said.

“No way!” Krillin said. “Why don’t you use Yamcha? Your boyfriend, your guinea pig!”

“Krillin, it’s a hair growth serum,” Yamcha said. “You’re kinda the only one who fits the bill, pal.”

“Oh haha. You know I can grow hair, I just shave it all off.”

Y/N laughed along with Bulma as Yamcha and Krillin started to squabble. Bulma nudged Y/N’s hand, and she looked over at the bluenette.

“You know, you’ve been over here a lot, lately,” Bulma said.

“It’s nothing,” Y/N assured. “Just want to spend some time with some old friends.”

“You sure? You know, last time you were always visiting because of-”

Y/N raised her hand and shook her head.

“Yeah, I know. He’s still an ass, and I’m not gonna lie, it is nice to get away from him somet-”

A sudden impact shook the ground and the group. Krillin and Yamcha were the first to stand, with Y/N gripping the table and Bulma falling to the ground. Y/N scoffed, looking out into the flying dust. She spotted the hazy outline of a blue aura, and Y/N groaned as she helped Bulma up.

“Speak of the devil,” Y/N muttered.

“Earth woman!”

Y/N sighed as Vegeta’s figure quickly crossed the field. She crossed her arms and glared at him.

“Well, well. Done knocking yourself around for the day? Come to say hello, Vegeta?”

Vegeta scowled.

“Shut up! And who do you think you are, wandering off and not telling me?”

“Knock it off man, she’s just hanging with us,” Yamcha said. “Nothing’s gonna happen to her while we’re around.”

Vegeta ignored Yamcha and marched to Y/N.

“You should know better than to leave the house without telling me first, Y/N. I can’t train and make sure you don’t get yourself killed,” Vegeta barked. Y/N rolled her eyes and sat down. She grabbed her drink and looked Vegeta in the eye as she took a sip.

“Look. I’m fine. You don’t have to start an argument every time you see me, you know. How about you sit down with us? That way you know where I am and you can relax,” Y/N said. Vegeta scoffed before turning his back.

“As if I’d waste my time here. You want to stay with your pathetic little friends, fine. Go ahead. See if I give a damn,” Vegeta called over his shoulder. Y/N watched as Vegeta marched to the mound of dust and dirt he landed on, and she rolled her eyes again as he took off.

“He seems to be in a good mood,” Bulma said, dusting herself off. Y/N nodded before sighing and leaning back in her seat.

“He’s been a real ass lately. I don’t know what’s gotten into him,” Y/N said. Bulma patted Y/N on the back. Yamcha shook his head, and Yamcha scoffed.

“He’s not exactly Mr. Congeniality, Y/N,” Yamcha said. Bulma pulled Yamcha by the ear.

“And you’re the boyfriend of the year, huh?” Bulma asked. Krillin and Y/N laughed. Y/N then cleared her throat and rose to her feet.

“Well, it’s been fun, but I should probably get going. Vegeta doesn’t need any more reason to start yelling,” Y/N said.

Krillin stood to hug Y/N.

“Don’t let him push you around,” he whispered in her ear.

Y/N nodded and waved at Bulma and Yamcha before excusing herself to fly off to her house.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The sun started to set by the time Vegeta arrived home. He walked in, expecting dinner. What he found instead was Y/N washing dishes and setting them out to dry.

“Woman.”

“I have a name,” Y/N said.

Vegeta ground his teeth and continued.

“I take it you haven’t cooked today.”

Y/N didn’t look up; she moved to the cabinet and grabbed a glass to pour herself a drink.

“I did cook. And then I cleaned the pots for you. Here you go,” Y/N said. She gestured to the pots and utensils on the counter, then passed Vegeta to go sit in the living room. Vegeta followed her, stomping as he went.

“And do you really think I’m going to do my own cooking?” Vegeta said.

Y/N raised an eyebrow at him.

“You will if you want to eat. You know, maybe if you weren’t such an ass today, I would have made enough for you to eat, too.”

Vegeta crossed his arms and glared at Y/N.

“I’m an ass? How about you, gallivanting around without a care in the world?” Vegeta said.

“I was just with my friends, Vegeta,” Y/N said, rolling her eyes. “You know, I don’t want to argue with you. I’m going to bed,” Y/N said. Vegeta followed her to their bedroom, and he leaned against the door frame and watched as she tucked herself into bed.

“So that's it then? You're just going to ignore me for the rest of the night? Vegeta asked. Y/N said nothing, running her hands over her face.

“What happened, Vegeta? Why are you acting like this? You know, first I thought the whole “loose cannon, lone wolf” thing was kinda cute, but now, you’re just plain mean. What is it? Do you not like me anymore? Am I just another “worthless human” to you now?”

“Shut up! You don’t know what you’re talking about!” Vegeta thundered. Y/N nodded, eyes drooping wearily.

“Yeah,” she said. “I guess I don’t know what I’m talking about. You know, I thought people were wrong about you. You were sweet for a while, at least to me. Guess that’s all down the drain, huh?”

Vegeta opened his mouth, then closed it. He grabbed Y/N’s doorknob and turned on his heel, slamming it shut behind him. Y/N sat in the silence for a while, before sighing and laying down.

The sun shone in Y/N’s eyes, rousing her from her sleep. She yawned and stretched, and then listened. The house was eerily quiet.

“Weird. Vegeta doesn’t go off and train this early,” Y/N said to herself. She walked into her living room, and found Vegeta sitting there, flicking through channels.

“Good morning,” Vegeta said.

Y/N stayed quiet. Vegeta continued flicking through channels, only stopping when Y/N came to sit next to him. His eyes slid to the side, examining her, before going back to the television.

“I’m not training this morning. I think I need to take the day off,” Vegeta said.

Silence fell over the room, with Y/N kicking her feet against the couch.

Vegeta shook his head.

“Look, about last ni-” Vegeta began. When Y/N said nothing, Vegeta scowled to himself and huffed.

“Forget it,” Vegeta said. He started flicking through channels again, and Y/N crossed her arms. Finally, she spoke.

“Vegeta. Please?”

Vegeta exhaled sharply through his nose, set the remote on the couch next to him, and turned to Y/N.

“Well? Done ignoring me now?” he asked.

“I want to talk to you. I’m tired of yelling at each other. I just…don’t know what to say. What’s going on with you?” Y/N asked.

“There’s not a damn thing wrong with me. You’re the one creating all the problems. All I want is to keep you safe, and you call me silly. I want to know where you are, is that so bad?” Vegeta questioned.

Y/N fell silent, squinting her eyes. She placed a finger over her lips and sat before she spoke.

“Vegeta, you want to keep me safe. I can get that. But you don’t have to be…you don’t have to…” She sighed, rubbing her eyes before continuing. “Vegeta, I understand that you want to keep me safe, but I do have friends. I’m safe with them.”

“And what if you aren’t? If you’re out and I don’t know or I can’t reach you in time, and something happens to you, what am I supposed to do? Have you even thought of that?” Vegeta said, crossing his arms.

Y/N tilted her head and leaned on Vegeta’s shoulder.

“Vegeta. All I’m asking is that you loosen up a little. You can come with me. I’ll try to communicate with you more, but I also can’t be cooped up here forever,” Y/N said.

Vegeta grumbled but said nothing. A light pink dusted his cheeks, and Y/N smiled and leaned in to kiss them.

“I love you, you know,” Y/N said. A dark rose took over Vegeta’s face and neck, and he sighed as he faced Y/N.

“Yeah. I know.”

Hey lovely.

I’m prefer writing in first person but I’m getting really worried about over use of “I” and “my” but also over use of dialogue. Is it normal for a manuscript done in first person to have a lot of dialogue?

I’m just a bit stuck with how to write showing not telling, I guess. Haha. 😄

Trouble Writing First-Person

If you find you're writing a lot of dialogue in your first-person story, it means you're not spending enough time describing things, and you're not spending enough time on your character's thoughts and feelings.

Stories need to have a balance of action (something happening, which you describe), dialogue (conversation between two more more characters), and exposition (giving information to the reader, which includes delving into your character's thoughts and feelings.)

When writing in first-person, you're going to use a lot of first-person pronouns, just as you use a lot of third-person pronouns when writing in third-person. They can't be avoided, but if you really feel you're overusing pronouns, it's probably because you're over-describing your character's actions (either in exposition or dialogue.) It's often called "laundry list" actions, because you're listing every action.

Have a look at the following example:

I sighed and put down my book. I looked at the clock and I saw it was almost seven--Jerry was an hour late. I stood up and walked myself to the window, moving aside the blind with my hand and leaning my head toward the glass to look out. I could see most of the long driveway and the road beyond, and the emptiness of both made me nervous. Where in the world was Jerry, anyway? Wasn't I clear about what time he needed to pick me up?

First-Person Pronouns: 12

Sighing, I put down my book and looked at the clock. It was almost seven--Jerry was an hour late. After standing to stretch, I went to the window and gazed out at the long driveway and road beyond. The emptiness of both made me nervous. Where in the world was Jerry, anyway? Wasn't I clear about what time he needed to pick me up?

First-Person Pronouns: 6

Just by re-wording and eliminating some of the obvious/unnecessary actions, I was able to cut down the pronoun usage by half.

This works in both dialogue and exposition.

As far as showing vs telling, it's important to know that "telling" doesn't refer to dialogue. One of my favorite quotes that illustrates showing vs telling is:

Don’t Tell Me the Moon Is Shining; Show Me the Glint of Light on Broken Glass.

(This quote is often attributed to Anton Chekov. Though he said something similar in a letter to his brother, this particular version of the quote is anonymous.)

Anyway, that's showing vs telling. Describing moonlight glinting off broken glass is "showing" that the moon is shining. Saying, "the moon was shining," is "telling" that the moon is shining.

Showing vs telling can also apply to action, because you can "tell" the reader about something that happened: "Mary spent the morning at yoga, where she had an awkward encounter with Jerry." Or you can "show" the reader what happened by writing the scene where Mary has an awkward encounter with Jerry.

Sometimes “Telling” is Okay, both in description and action, but when you can (when it makes sense) you should try to show.

I hope that helps!
