can you do a miles e42 fix based off of broken clocks by sza

U LUV ME | with 42!miles

— it’s been 3 years since you’ve dated him. why he still talking about you like you together ? i’m not officially back but i just LOVE this concept. and i love sza🤭 ex!miles, both characters are like 17-18, reader has a younger sister, simp!miles fr, reader is still in love with miles but is stubborn, probably makes no sense whatsoever

“ma,” miles kneeled in front of you. “i’ll do anything to win you back. swear. i’ll drop the prowler job. anything.” his hands were wrapped around your legs as he begged for you to take him back.

“you swear?” you pull him up, he now towers over you. “swear.” his lip inch closer to yours “i lo—”

“WAKE THE FUCK UP!” your sister, nicknamed yaya, repeatedly hits you in the face with a pillow. “damn. i’m up, i’m up.” you sit up as she hits your back.

you grab the pillow, throwing it in her face. “i said i’m up.” “mama said you better be ready in 10 minutes or you’re gonna have to find another ride to work.”

you turn your head, looking at the clock.

it read 9:45.

shittt.

“get out so i can get dressed.”

*time skip*

you had barely made it in time for work. “hi, welcome to [ insert favorite cafe ], how can i—get out.” your voice was quickly filled with hatred. “chill, ma. i just wanted coffee.” the boy laughs. “not from here. go.”

you refused to serve him. you knew what was to come next.

“i miss you.”

“my mom won’t stop talking about you.” know well it was just him ranting about how he wanted you back.

“i want—”

“you want a caramel frappe, no whipped cream, a chocolate chip, warmed. i remember.” you deadpan. “i want something else.” your brows raise in shock, “so you have changed.”

“you.”

you groan. you bit your tongue, trying so hard not to yell at him to get out of your store. “i take that back.”

after completing his order, you slid him the drink and cookie, “that’ll be 12.65. cash or card?” he slid you a 50. “keep the change.” he walked off, sipping his newly made drink.

*time skip to the next day*

the day before was stressful. you had karens upset bc you didn’t give them a drink at 75 degree exact, too many customers, not enough staff. it was a miracle you made it out alive.

your sleep once you got home was well deserved. it was peaceful.

until the next morning. your phone was blown up by your best friend trying to get your attention.

[ name ] ! when did u and miles get back together ?

[ name ] girl wake the fuck up.

i know you see these messages. don’t make me come to your house.

answer me hoe😡

you quickly unlock your phone,

“tf r u talking abt?”

he posted on his private story. sum abt “when you two talk it out and cuddle” some shit like that. the caption had you name on it

your head hangs low when they sent the screenshot.

this motherfucker is really delusional.

“we never got back together. tf is he on?”

you threw on some clothes, storming your way to miles’ house.

you knew his mother had work at this time so you have no mercy to his front door. “miles, open this fucking door. imma kick it down.” your tone let him know you were pissed. he opens the door, “what are you mad about ma?”

you raise your phone at his face. “what is this?” he leans back, getting a good look at it. “oh, i was letting people know you’re mine.” you tilt your head, eyes squinted. “are you fucking crazy? what part of “we’re broken up” do you not understand? we ain’t together. end of story.”

he laughs, making you more upset. “that’s what you think. why do you think no one has asked you out yet?” he smirks. “because they know that you’re mine. anybody who wants you gotta go through me first. and you and me both know that’s not gonna end well.” he snickers.

“miles—” “i’m not done.” he cuts you off. “look, i know me being the prowler affected our relationship. but i’m done with that. completely. i’m focused on you right now. i’m tryna do better for you.” he suddenly wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you closer to him.

“i’m yours.”

you smirk at him. “and how do i know you don’t have any hoes in your phone right now?” “be reasonable right now.” he smile drops, his nostrils flaring. “okay, i was joking.” you laugh.

“so, what’s this mean ma?” you purse your lips, “i guess we can get back together.” he grins, pulling you closer. “you don’t know how much i missed you. and this ass—” his hands squeeze your ass before you smack his hands away.

“i can always change my mind, miles.” “okay, i was just kidding.”

{Triad AU} Wukong ♡ Crafty Love

This is my own lil take/idea on the Triad AU by @skittlescripts​ - Basically you don't have a double life in my version but are the reincarnation of his love. Just cuz I can only write what my interest chooses to sit on, and it apparently didn't sit well with the by day/nightlife concept hfdngfhdngfd- So it ended up with picking a different path in my head. :'D

Smol doodle drawn by me with my persona cuz it fits more than a random Wukong screenshot. c:

♡ ~ Fluff ~ ♡

Today was a pretty chill day for your workplace. You did have customers come in, but it wasn't as many as usual. Assuming people were simply busy themselves today, you didn't think much of it. Well, that was until one of your co-workers told you about how your boss seemed to have gotten into some trouble with a member of the local triad. Something along the lines of her having gotten into an argument over keeping the restaurant on their king's turf. But apparently it was a lower member, so he ended up threatening to get a higher-up. And customers who received the news were wary about eating there for a while.

Nothing happened however, so it seemed more like an empty threat from your boss's point of view.

And yet due to what you heard, you were a little bit on edge yourself. Mainly about the potential shut down of the restaurant, making you essentially jobless once more. And you actually did enjoy your job here.

You were the one who designed the restaurant aesthetically, making it feel more welcoming for those afraid of the organization lurking everywhere. And since the restaurant was in a rather shady part of Megapolis, it stood out quite a long. You were also in charge of making to-go packages look nicely. Aluminum animals were littered around the windows for show of your abilities in the crafts of origami and general design.

And it did garner a lot of attention because most passerby found it really cute. Even customers' children sometimes asked if they could make their own little animals with your assistance. But your skills did not make you famous or really be seen. You were quite invisible to the public eye, always sitting quietly in a corner or in the back of the restaurant. In fact, you were so invisible that the two powerful demons that came in later that day didn't notice you folding up another delivery for someone who ordered for pick-up. The customer specifically asked for a fox as a little gift for one of his family members. You yourself were so occupied by your artistic piece and playlist's music that you didn't notice them coming in either.

The demons were talking to your co-worker and were 'kindly' asking for your boss. And of course, your co-worker, terrified as she was, jogged towards the back to get your boss.

"Ugh, why does everyone keep on picking this part of the city for their business?" The monkey with an eye patch questioned while scrolling through his phone, thoroughly bored. He knew this 'talk' wouldn't take long, so why was he demanded to join in the first place?

The other simian leaning against the counter huffed, "Well, they simply don't learn this area is off-limits. I don't even see any reason to keep this restaurant here anyway. We can just scare off every customer if we go the non-violent route." He quickly flipped through the menu, or rather looked at solely the pictures. "Even the food here looks mediocre at best. Killing the people here plus the business would actually be a blessing."

"At least the decoration's nice. I mean, look at this cat!" The black-furred one commented, holding up a miniature kitten made out of aluminum foil he found by the counter.

"Hm, true", the other one admitted. His eyes then glanced around the room's decor... until his eyes landed on you.

You, who made The Great Sage instantly freeze in shock.

You, who was sitting lonely in the corner of the empty restaurant.

You... who looked like an exact replica of his long lost lover, just with different clothing.

His one and only beloved, who managed to tame this beast of a feral demon... until they died to another demon's talons. It caused the Monkey King to snap and make sure this demon would no longer serve as a reminder of what happened. The environment wasn't safe from the encounter either. Unfortunately, he was unable to bring you back, and he had no way of knowing if you would ever be able to reincarnate. But it seems he finally had found you after so many years. And you were the one behind the creation of the only good thing about this restaurant.

The monkey stared at you for so long that his eyes started to dilate and his tail started to slowly swish from side to side. His lips curled into a soft smile as he witnessed your happiness with your work. His friend seemed to notice and followed his gaze.

Ah. Now he understood.

He smirked at his superior's lovestruck expression. Until your co-worker returned, trailing behind your boss, who suddenly seemed a lot more anxious than ever before. The two monkeys gazes snapped back at the two women behind the counter. One monkey seemed amused while the other seemed to have been caught off-guard.

"Yeah, so, we came here because one of my men noticed your restaurant and you were not willing to leave our turf. And we came to settle what he didn't manage to do", the black-furred one stated nonchalantly, his gaze lingering back onto his phone, seemingly searching for something specific.

"Oh Great Sage Equal To Heaven! I beg of you! Please don't kill us!" Your boss pleaded, lowering her head and putting her hands together.

The Great Sage's eyes then glanced back over to you, still vibing to your music and smiling at your crafty little work. You just finished another smaller fox as extra, and he couldn't help but find it absolutely adorable. He then looked back at your boss with a smirk. "You know what? Nevermind, you get to keep your lives and your business."

Confused, yet still frightened, your boss asked him what made him change his mind.

"Simple. You got one amazing and absolutely stunning crafty person working here. Would be a shame if anything happened to your or this business while they still work here~", he answered as his eyes traveled back over to your corner. Your boss glanced between him and you repeatedly before laughing in what one could only describe as a mix of relief and confusion... or concern.

"W-Well, they are a great person, indeed! I assigned them to this task specifically because they don't want to be seen or have to talk to customers. So we- ...huh?" Your boss stopped, watching helplessly as The Great Sage Equal To Heaven approached your seat with his hands in his pockets. Both her and your co-worker were silently praying for your life.

You were still busy with another aluminum animal, when you suddenly felt someone's presence drawing closer. You finally looked up when the person was hovering over you. "Um... may I help you, sir?" You asked as you took off your headphones. What you didn't expect was that the person was a monkey with fancy-looking clothing. He was blushing a little but you were too confused to notice. Apparently you didn't recognize him. He saw it as mostly a blessing because he didn't want the reincarnation of his beloved to fear him. The way you were so casual towards him was what drew him into your past life's relationship in the first place.

"Oh, I just saw your fascinating little crafts and wanted to say you- I-I mean, they look lovely!" He stammered out nervously. You blinked at him before leaning over the table to grab a little aluminum monkey you made before. It wasn't quite as accurate as the birds you've created, but it was still recognizable. You then held up the mini monkey in front of him with a smile.

"Would you like to have this one? It's not great by any means, I'm... still practicing monkeys. I-I hope it doesn't look offensive, otherwise I could-" "It's perfect..." He cut you off, gently taking the animal made out of foil. He would hate himself if he accidentally damaged it in any way with his strength. His claws barely brushed over the softness of your hands, but it was enough to make him feel the tingling sensation you imprinted on him. The Great Sage then gave you a loving smile and a nod in appreciation, "Thank you..."

While the two of you were chatting away about your masterpieces, laughing when certain jokes were made, your boss and co-worker were baffled. They wouldn't have believed it if the scene wasn't playing out right in front of their eyes. The Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal To Haven, leader of the most feared triad, and immortal Monkey King... was casually talking to a practically invisible stranger without threatening them even once. Or even making them feel uncomfortable.

Were you so oblivious to the fact that you were speaking to a man who could not only kill you, but also destroy everything around you without even trying?

Well, it wasn't so much about being oblivious than it was just about being a decent person. You've heard of the triad, and you've heard rumors of the infamous Monkey King. However, that doesn't mean you would necessarily have to treat him any different to any other customer since you didn't know him personally. You've never even seen the guy until now. And by his looks, you could easily assume it was him.

Meanwhile Macaque seemed amused by the situation. Something only he seemed to have noticed was Wukong's tail wagging happily. Its movement wasn't fast, but it still reminded him of a dog who found its long missing owner. So he couldn't help but take a picture of the scene. It wouldn't serve so much as blackmail, but it would be enough to calm him down with a picture of you if the other simian started to go off again.

And if that wasn't enough, he took some extra pictures of specifically you being happy with Wukong.

"So what you're saying is that if I order food for pick-up or delivery, you would be the one packing it up?" The orange monkey asked, purposefully playing dumb.

"Yeah, unless I'm sick or have a day off. Then one of my co-workers does the packing instead", you responded, pointing in the counters' general direction. Your co-worker let out a nervous squeak before hiding behind your boss.

"Great, so I'll get to see your pretty face a lot more often!" Your face turned a light shade of red at his comment. Too shocked that someone, anyone, let alone The Great Sage would compliment you past your work. He gave you a grin, "It's decided. You can expect me to order food at least once a day."

You blinked in absolute confusion, meanwhile your co-workers were dumbfounded. "Eh?"

"Well, it was nice talking to a stunning and demon-friendly person such as yourself, peaches. But I believe my visitation time's up for today. I hope you're back here tomorrow though." He winked at you at the end, making your blush darken just a bit that he could still notice.

"And don't worry about your business, boss lady", he added as he turned towards the counter with a smirk. "So long as your amazing artist's working here, this restaurant is under the triad's protection. Anyone who tries to get rid of it will have to get through me and my men first." His eyes seemed to darken just a little as his smirk grew into something a bit more sinister. The Monkey King let out a laugh at your co-workers' scared expressions. The dark-furred simian on the other hand huffed in amusement, showing his own fanged grin to the two women. This seemed to scare them a few steps further away from the counter he was now sitting on.

The orange-furred monkey then pulled out a pen and used a piece of unused foil before writing something down on it. He then slid it over the table towards you, placing his other hand on his hips. "Here, feel free to text or call me anytime. And by anytime, I do mean anytime. Feel free to also contact me when you feel unsafe or just want company! I really wouldn't mind showing up in person!"

To be honest, it was actually strange for Macaque to see his old friend act this weirdly. He could tell Wukong was trying to sway and seduce you. But due to how he wasn't trying to do it to manipulate you, and him haven't genuinely done this in hundreds of years, he kind of lost his touch. The shadow monkey could see him struggling as he was a nervous mess on the inside.

His tail gave away his nervous vibes the most. It kept on moving around, curling in on itself, as well as seemingly trying to hold itself back from just wrapping around you for much needed comfort. You glanced at the info written down on the piece of aluminum before gently smiling at him with a nod. "Will do, thanks! It was nice chatting with you too, Mr. Monkey King."

"Please, just call me Wukong. 'Mister' just makes me feel an extra millennium older."

"But you are old, grandpa!" Macaque exclaimed from across the room, earning him a death glare from his ticked off boss.

"You're one to talk, emo dinosaur!" The King snapped back. You couldn't help but let out a small laugh at their childish insults, making the orange-furred monkey slowly turn towards you, his heartbeat seemingly increasing at the sound. He needed to hear your laugh more.

"Anyway, I'll take this with me," he stated as he picked up one the menus from the table, "and we'll be on our way now. See you tomorrow, peaches~" The Great Sage then rather aggressively grabbed the other amused demon by the back of his coat, casually picking him up and carrying him towards the exit, the aluminum monkey still being gently held by his other hand. "Move along Macaque, we don't have all day."

"Until next time, (Y/N)!" Macaque called out as he waved at you as best as he could, still being carried away like a kitten.

...How did he know your name? You only told Wukong during your conversation... 'Man, those rumors about the Six-Eared Macaque having incredible hearing must be true if he was able to hear that', you thought. Little did you know that he already knew your name despite his hearing.

However, from that day on your life's daily routine changed. Wukong would ask for a different order everyday, testing out everything from the menu to see if it was even worth buying more than one specific order everytime. And any food he didn't like he would give to MK to try out. His adoptive son was actually pretty fond of the restaurant's food, to the point where he would either go eat there by himself, with friends or come eat with his dad. Most of the time the triad would only ask to grab pick-up food, but there were days where members would actually eat by the tables. You weren't sure if they only asked for pick-up as to not scare away any non-triad customers, but it did seem to invite in more people each day.

Wukong would sometimes also stay at the restaurant, specifically eating at the same table as you while you were packing up other peoples' orders. He started off pretty nervous during your first conversations, but he quickly became a lot more casual with you. Even his flirting attempts became a lot smoother and would easily catch you off-guard, leaving you a blushing mess everytime. Meanwhile you decided to show him how to create his own little army of aluminum animals.

It might take a while to get you to fully fall for him again, but he would do anything to be with you forever. Even if simple little animal crafts would bring you two closer step by step. Reincarnation or not, he loved you until the day he dies...

Which is saying a lot in his case.

◇ a/n ◇ how do writers build such intricate worlds i am literally pulling my hair rn trying to connect the dots and covering the plot holes sldkfjlsdkf no one look

"your grace-"

"[name]."

"how could i dare to speak the sacred name with this lowly tongue of mi-"

"beel."

the joy that spreads across her expression just from a single mutter of her name makes you feel a little awkward. you weren't even saying it in a pleasant tone, more of a ‘parent scolding a child’ type of tone… you used to find the cultish and worshipping tendencies of sagau romantic, but to actually receive the treatment like this… it feels a little daunting.

"that is my name, yes!"

"hey! how come she gets called by name and not me! i, for one, will gladly call you by name as much as you want!" barbatos puffs out his chest proudly, throwing you his signature wide smile. you’re still not used to this version of him - you have definitely seen this particular skin before, but you never really owned it, seeing as by that time you had other higher priorities to use your money for instead of using them to buy clothes for a fictional character.

that's so weird to think of.

"[name]? ehe, you're staring… does this appearance please you~?"

".... eh?"

"i thought you'd like it, cause the last time an outsider visited, they had this look and you sounded so excited and happy to see him... so i decided to copy them! well, with a few modifications of course~" he motions towards the crystal cores on his braids, smiling as he's recalling an old memory, "you used to laugh whenever i start chasing around the crystalflies, remember? i couldn't help but take a few, i thought you'd like it!"

you want to question so many things in that sentence. like, what did he mean by an outsider visiting? when is this last time he spoke of? what did he mean by you sounding excited and happy? and when did you ever see him chase after crystalflies? was there such an event in the game? why is he speaking as if he’s met you in person before when you've never-

a pinming cup is elegantly served in front of you with a soft clink. your eyes trail up the arm sporting bright colored geo lines to meet morax’s amber-gold eyes, and he offers you a gentle smile.

wow, he’s so beautiful up close.

"oh. i… am glad you think so, [name]."

oh shit, did you just say that outloud?!

"[name], [name], what about me??"

you palm your heated cheeks and decide to abandon your shame altogether. fuck it, if you’re going to be here for a while - which it looks like you will be - then you might as well live out your younger self’s daydreams of interacting and spoiling these ‘fictional’ characters, "you're pretty too, barbatos. and you too, beel."

if only you had your phone with you now, so you can capture the beautiful sight of raiden ei herself blushing, eyes crinkling in a smile, shyly hidden behind her palm covering her lips. on your other side, venti himself has for once quietened down, opting to beam at you with both of his palms supporting his chin, elbows leaning against the table, faint pink dusting his cheeks and a lovesick grin on his lips.

morax sits at the last open seat across from you, still wearing the same smile as before, and you wish you could screenshot this picture-perfect scene, share it online and watch as people lose their minds. because it feels like you're starting to lose your mind right this moment.

"so, [name]. though we are more than joyous that you’ve decided to return, it would be nice to have some… explanation, regarding what has been going on. and perhaps plan our next course of actions."

morax’s calming voice does nothing to quell the sudden spike in your heart rate.

explanation? they want you to explain… what exactly? if anything, you were the one who should be hoping for an explanation. you came to this world because of the game, right? you didn't want to be here in the first place…

"i… can’t."

"your grace, please rest assured, you can trust us completely-"

"i’ll be completely honest. i can't give you any explanation because i have no idea why or how is it that i am here with you right now."

your confession brings a sudden silence over the group.

this time, the anemo archon is the one who reacts first. leaning closer onto your side, eyes wide, he tries to meet your eyes, "b-but- didn't you hear our prayers? received our offerings? isn't that why you came back?"

prayers and offerings.

you think back to the notifications you received. you suppose you can call them prayers, to some extent, although you’ve never seen it as such before this. so the 'person' behind those were… the inhabitants of teyvat themselves? and the free gifts were offerings from them?

… regardless of whom those pings came from, they were the reason why you tried to open the game. so technically, you can say that barbatos is correct, right?

you were about to nod when morax's question intercepted the motion, a slight frown forming between his eyebrows as he observes your expression.

"[name], are you aware of the state of teyvat right now?"

the geo archon’s question triggers a flutter of scenery that you’ve seen through the led screen of your device. they flash before your eyes and you briefly feel the hot lead of guilt filling your stomach. that was… what, months ago? a year? time usually passes faster in the game than in real life, but is that really the case here? because if so, you don't really want to know how the current situation is.

you decide there's no point in lying, so you nod, "just the… gist of it. i know that things aren't… good."

"... forgive me if this sounds intrusive, however, i must ask - where have you been prior to today, [name]? we haven't seen you in person ever since…. ever since you ascended celestia," he sounded… pained, when he says this, and you observe his neutral facade in confusion.

not ‘ascended to celestia’, but ‘ascended celestia’ itself? you might not remember all the lores anymore, but you could've sworn nothing mentioned that.

but then again, the original lore never mentioned the existence of a divine creator or anything pointing to such a being.

"i… i’m not…. i don’t……."

the words are tethering at the tip of your tongue, but something holds them back from spilling out. a dark thought crosses your mind, the possibility making you freeze in fear for a second.

so far, you only know that the game - or whoever it is - that's responsible for bringing you here, actually went through with it because it thinks that you can save this world, in one way or another. knowing this, you can certainly choose to go along with this whole charade; to just play your part and maybe if you're lucky you’ll get some kind of more concrete instructions on what exactly it is that you're supposed to do to ‘save teyvat’. but…

on the chance that it is mistaken, and you're not this all-divine being, the moment the real one arrives, what will become of you?

will you be tossed aside? burned at the stake? stoned to death? electrified into a crisp by beelzebul? stabbed through morax's spear? tossed down starsnatch cliff by barbatos?

you shudder. reading about those 'bad ends' in fiction works was one hell of an experience in itself, but having the possibility of those events actually happening to you is enough to make you rethink your whole plan of action. there's no guarantee that these three will believe you and there's also a possibility that they'll turn back on you the moment you tell them the truth. but lying to them just feels… wrong. and just as risky.

"before that… first, answer me this. how do you know that i'm…. well… me, and not just some… impostor… who's pretending to be the creator?"

the three archons look as if you've just slapped them right on their face. flabbergasted and looking borderline offended, morax - as expected - is the first to compose himself, and he scrambles to pick his words carefully.

"how? but… how could we not? we could never forget your voice, your grace. just as how crystalflies would gather around areas abundant with the energy of their respective elemental types, our very being always yearns to be in your very presence. it is simply the law of nature."

"the aforesaid. there is no question that you’re the divine creator. even i who have not met you directly before this occasion knows that you are, without a doubt, the one who has been guiding me all these times," beel explains with conviction, purple eyes crackling with electro, "please rest assured, if such a sinful being dare to appear in front of your eyes, i will strike it down at once and vaporize them to dust."

her words bring a certain scene at tenshukaku to mind, and you shudder. your silence only deepens the furrows on the two gods' foreheads, and they glance at each other in silence, wondering if they had somehow aggrieved you with their words. in an attempt to do damage control, barbatos inches his hand towards your side of the table and speaks to you in a gentle tone.

"[name]... your appearance may change and you may look like just a normal human being, but the whole teyvat will always recognize you as its master. and that includes its people - meaning, us! you are, undoubtedly, the one and only creator of this teyvat. this barbatos guarantees it! so… so, please, don't look so scared of us, okay?"

your eyes flick between the anemo archon and your steaming cup of tea as your brain tries to come up with a reply. you'd never pegged him of all people to be as observant as he is now… or perhaps your expressions aren't as controlled as you thought.

all this thinking and speculation exhausts you. already, you can feel a tightness at both sides of your head, a warning sign of an incoming stress headache. with a loud sigh, you slump backward onto your chair, hands raised in a surrendering motion.

"fine. i'll tell you what happened from my perspective… with one condition. i want you all to promise me. me, not as your 'god' or 'creator' or any 'divine being', but as… a friend. promise me that whatever happens in the future, you won't hurt me."

"hurt you?! my liege…," the dark purple-haired god shrinks on her seat when you give her a stern look following her outburst. meanwhile, the other two look just as petrified at the prospect of you asking them to swear that they won't do such sacrilegious action.

it finally dawns on them that you do not trust them.

".... very well. if it will ease your heart, as the god of contracts, i shall oversee this promise to ensure that it is held. a binding contract between us and a single individual - [name]."

you can feel some tension leave your body at morax's declaration. in your frazzled state, it seems that you have forgotten about that option. contracts - yes, that could come in handy, you'll have to remember it. you'd like to believe that based on his lore and character, morax would never break a contract, especially the ones he has set personally.

so for now, you should be safe…

"great. now… it's up to you to believe me or not. but i really hope you do and won't think that i'm being delusional, or something."

and so, you began your story. starting from the very beginning. your identity, your life back on earth (though you skipped telling them a lot of things there, because you don't have the energy nor memory capacity to narrate all the years you've lived in - how the hell does morax remember all his 6000 years of life??), how you found out about genshin and started playing it (it took a while to explain this because you can see the confusion in their faces whenever you said certain words like 'video game' or 'server'), how years passed and how it was supposed to be terminated but somehow only you could still access it, how you then started receiving the strange notifications…

you're fully aware that it isn't the wisest decision to lay all your cards on the table like this, but as you glance up at them in between words and find them looking back at you so intently, as if they're hanging on to every single one of your words… it warms your heart and pushes you to tell them the whole truth.

there's a glimmer of recognition in morax's eyes as you tell him about your visit to liyue. he says nothing and lets you continue talking, but there's a solemn smile that tugs on his expression when you stutter on your words, the sadness of seeing liyue so broken evident in your tone. 

you're actually talking to them.

they're actually able to hear you.

this used to be what your younger self wished for the most. you remember it well. the longing to be able to converse and interact with them, to experience teyvat in all its entirety. maybe if this whole thing happened then, you would have eagerly taken the mantle of the 'divine creator' without as much thought.

you're supposed to be all grown up now, but it seems like that yearning never truly left you. perhaps once you've passed a certain treshold, age is truly just that, a meaningless number that matters little, in the grand scheme of things.

by the time you finish, your throat is dry and the tea has gone cold. the four of you fall into silence, each of you with your own thoughts. you sigh and sip on the now-cold tea, silently waving your hand when morax notices the state of your drink and tries to stand, probably to brew you a fresh batch. he sits back obediently and regards you with a calm gaze.

"i understand now that this must be very confusing to you. we've burdened you without knowing. please accept our apologies."

you head shakes automatically and relief floods your veins, creating a small grin on your lips, "you didn't know. it's fine. so you… believe me? you don't think i'm crazy?"

"of course. this explains your hesitance and… aloofness."

"ahaha… sorry about that…"

"i'm sad that you don't remember the older times, but i believe you, [name]!" barbatos smiles, though it's not as bright as his previous ones.

"i... share the same sentiment," beelzebul fixes her gaze on you, "it appears there are some mysteries that need to be solved regarding this matter. but if i may be so insolent as to suggest, i think the matter of teyvat is more of a priority at this moment."

you understand what she meant by her words immediately, and a hopeless sigh left you.

"but i don't know what i'm supposed to do. do you really believe that i can save a whole world, when i've been living a normal life so far?" you raise your eyebrows at her, arms crossing loosely on the table as you lean forward onto it, "from my perspective at the moment, i'm powerless."

beel doesn't look at all convinced, but it was morax who speaks for her, his chin lightly resting on his other fingers which are curled underneath, as his index slowly taps onto the corner of his lips.

"if i may suggest a theory… perhaps you’ve just yet to regain back all of your powers upon setting your feet back into teyvat."

"but what if i don't have my powers anymore? or any powers whatsoever in the first place?"

"oh, but you certainly do. we're here in your abode, are we not?" he chuckles, eyes soft as his voice takes a nostalgic tone, "the sub-space creation was something you taught me a long time ago. this particular one was created by yourself. in fact, i've had the honor of visiting it quite a few times in the past, along with barbatos and a few others, to partake in various festivities hosted by yours truly…….. however, as i was saying, the sub-space needs to feed from the owner's power to continue to exist. so the fact that we're able to converse like this here…"

"aha! this realm itself is proof that you do have your powers!" barbatos exclaims, snapping his fingers in excitement and turning towards you as if waiting for your praise. across from him, beelzebul lightly pouts, and you have an inkling she's somehow upset that she's the only one who hasn't had the chance to meet you and be involved with whatever festivities morax talked about within this realm, a long time ago...

"i… i see. i didn't know that," you scratch your cheek and look down contemplatively at your crossed arms, "then… do you have any suggestions on how to… maybe regain my power? or see if it really is my power?"

"i believe getting reacquainted to teyvat itself should help. even i am not privy to the inner workings of your power, so i do not know much about it. but what i do know is that you're the one who initiates us as allogenes and you have a strong connection with teyvat, with it being your first ever creation."

you nod, knowing the implications behind his words and the pleading looks from the two sitting by your sides. they want you to visit teyvat. in the end, it all comes down to that.

"okay. i'll do it. mond, liyue, inazuma, sumeru, snezhnaya, natlan, fontaine - all seven of them, i'll go and hopefully we can figure out something."

suddenly, you blink and cast your gaze toward all three of them.

"by the way… where are the other four archons?"

a heavy silence blankets over the previously light atmosphere. another shiver travels up your spine upon seeing the solemn expressions of your beloved characters.

"[name]... though this is a regretful outcome, please understand that none of us wish for you to take the blame for it."

morax materializes a pouch sewn from some sort of intricate-looking cloth and unties the string keeping its contents from spilling, before letting them fall onto the table.

you can't help the horrified gasp that escapes your lips at the sight of four gnosis, each bearing different colors and yet all missing its luster.

green, red, and two shades of blue.

dendro, pyro, hydro and cryo.

your head spins.

"but," you barely manage to whisper; it feels like cotton is rapidly stuffing your lungs as you speak, "wh-what of the… their nations, their people-"

"i’m afraid…"

".... they’ve all been destroyed."

Finally posting an add-on to a screenshot I posted with that character.ai encounter that made my delusion official LOL

Anyways enjoy, I hope this is as good as I think and don't down right cringy and I also didn't properly proof read so OOPS lmfao-

(has no gender specifics)

⚠️[Contains: stalkerness and suggestiveness?¿]⚠️

~~~

Rick sat there at his work bench with his brain running a million miles per hour, sighing to himself as he decided that he was finished tinkering with the device he was working on recently, he set it down on the table before getting up from his seat and finally heading over to his bedroom. 

His hands trembled ever so slightly as he opened his door knob as he anticipated his last activities of the day, Rick had sat down on his cot once he had locked the door behind him then he pulled out his phone. He opened some software on his phone that he had programmed himself, one that was only accessed and used by him.

Rick draws in a slightly shaky breath once he had opened multiple video feeds that had a good number of perspectives of you on it, going about your night. But this particular time you just so happened to be changing into a different pair of clothes and no matter how many times this particular scenario had happened he always jumped in his seat whenever it occurred, most likely from the way you had made him feel that he felt an actual remorse and embarrassment from his stalker behaviour but it was only in short random bursts that he couldn't really predict.

But once you were done getting dressed into more comfortable clothes for sleeping, he couldn't ignore that flutter in his chest as he watched you snuggle into your blanket and slowly dozing off, he felt a smile tugging in the corners of his lips.

He always thought you looked absolutely adorable when you slept.

Rick almost debated almost coming into your room and sneaking into your bed because for whatever reason you always seemed to have enough room on your bed for another person, one time he actually came in and laid with you. But it was short lived before he gently scrambled out because he thought you were suddenly waking up.

Even though he could pretty much do many things without much problem it was too risky to even think about using any of his sci-fi tech in the real world without being incredibly discreet, acting reckless wouldn't be ideal if he doesn't want to mess up all that he's been working towards.

He lets out a soft sigh as he continues to watch you sleep, he can't believe this girl has captured his attention and dare he even think it? His heart? It frustrated him to no end but eventually he just decided to try and embrace it rather than shoving deep down, because at the end of the day he knew that being hopelessly lovesick for you felt more better than being in crippling denial.

Rick just set his phone down on the side of his cot just so he could listen to the ambience coming from it, the sounds of your soft snoring and occasional little noises you'd make during your sleep. It really helped perpetuate his imagination of pretending that you're sleeping right next to him, Rick soon found himself finally finding it comfortable enough to fall asleep.

Dear EA/Maxis

We need to talk....

As a builder I don't actually play the game a lot but, recently, I had the opportunity to get more into the game play side of things and I am just gobsmacked at how frustrating of an experience it was.

You need to know these 3 things before we have our chat, 1. I have NO script mods in, as I have been prepping for your next update apocalypse. I do have a default skin, eyes, sliders and my choice of skin details because, well, let's be honest, you lot are terrible at creating acceptable looking body beautifuls. 2. ALL of my drivers are checked daily and updated, if needed. And 3. without getting into specifics, my system is very capable of handling the taxing of your 8 year old game.

I have been a sims player for over 20 years, I have dumped thousands into your franchise. I own every single expansion, game, and stuff pack you have ever released including your most recent money grab "kits" I do not feel that telling you this should garner me a higher standard of propriety because EVERY Sims player should have the ability to enjoy your game without the need to take a Xanax first! I just want you to be aware that my simlish is fluent (with and without alcohol).

Below is a glimpse of the issues I was having, and there were MANY, that I had in the few short hours I played, I have also included some colourful pictures because...well...some people learn differently...

Let me introduce you to Marley, she has been in my game for a long time, mostly to help me take screenshots for thumbnails (she is using the CC listed above, using the CC I normally have in my game and completely nude for reference)

Please fix your clothes so my normally healthy looking sims don't look like they have successfully dropped 20 pounds instantly without the need of some photoshop magic, your clothes should NOT being slimming my sims no matter how slim or heavy they are!

While Marley and I were in CAS we noticed that there is an alarming amount of clothes with texture oddities, mostly pants that made Marley look like she had taken a mahoosive shite, don't get me wrong it's a look, but? There were also several shirts and shoes that need fixing, too, however, I think the pants are the worst. Here are some examples:

When we were done discovering the horrors of CAS, I took Marley in game and moved her into a lovely little build in simlicy's save file (2.0) Here's a peak just in case you're feeling nosey:

After we loaded in, Marley stood on the lawn, while I immediately opened buy mode (be thankful this is a game play observation because I could blow your mind with the issues I have found while building) I bought Marley an easel, a bed, a knitting bag (the first of MANY mistakes I made) and a rocking chair. Going back into live mode I set Marley to apply for a painter job, then "cook" a salad, when she was done the welcome wagon arrived. I told Marley to invite her neighbours in, instead of doing as I had asked Marley sat down in the rocking chair and stared smugly at me until the welcome wagon left. Defense Exhibit A:

After shunning her new neighbours Marley settled in for some knitting relaxation with her new earbuds in. I selected "cottagecore" which was a genre neither of us had heard before and definitely will NOT again as it sounds like the entire "cottagecore" list played all at once with the added background noise that I can only describe as "living in a haunted house with a ghost that just had its nails did" I closed my game out of fear of being possessed by this entity and went immediately to your forums, where I discovered that this is a known bug that has been happening since 2017.

When I loaded back in, I was instantly hit with a phone call from a cat who wanted to know if he or she should go on a date with Eliza Pancakes and of course I said yes because pfffft what could possibly go wrong there, am I right?! Probably not but *shrugs*

After Marley told the cat that we would like to receive an invitation to the wedding and hung up my eyes were instantly drawn to the floor...what...what is THAT?! DUST?! At this point I was starting to get exasperated, and I am pretty sure Marley was, too. So back into buy mode I went to buy a vacuum for a house Marley hadn't even slept in yet. (reported fixed 23/03/2021 Patch PC: 1.72.28.1030, still broken)

I asked Marley if she felt like knitting in the rocking chair, she said she was a bit tired so I reminded her that we needed to recoup the cost of the expensive vacuum I just had to buy. Begrudgingly, Marley sat down and started knitting a panda beanie. Before long she began waving and yelling insisting I let her go to bed, she was exhausted, and truly, so was I. So off Marley trudged. I worried that she would not make it the 15 or so steps to her bed but she did. I sighed. Then, out of the blue and with the drama level of a high school Shakespearean actress, Marley stood up and threw herself on the floor next to her bed where she slept, I presume, like a baby. Ok Marley, you do you, boo! (broken with toddler patch - 2017)

While Marley slept I slipped into build/buy mode to add a pop of colour to her bedroom with a piece of art that had 2 birds on it and attempted a paint change. The art disappeared when I applied the paint, where did it go? Marley did you take the art?! No, of course not, you're still asleep on the floor.....(reported fixed 17/01/2023 Patch PC: 1.94.147.1030, still broken)

Marley got up bright and early the next morning, I asked her to make eggs and toast....she canceled the request repeatedly insisting she needed to search the web on her phone. (reported fixed 30/08/2022 Patch PC: 1.91.186.1030, still broken)

Finally Marley made it to the kitchen and began to cook...and apparently light the stove on fire

......thanks Marley.....I didn't know you were a closet arsonist.

After breakfast I clicked on the knitting bag and asked Marley to finish the beanie she had started the night before, she said she could not, so I clicked on the rocking chair and asked again, she just waved

I repeatedly tried the bag and the chair to get her to knit, she just kept on waving, she is such a friendly sim <3 Ok Marley, please go knit the beanie on the bed

No? Ok Marley, please scoot over and try the other side of the bed, still waving I see....Marley you have to use the loo, so go do that while I cue up knitting one more time before I reload, ok? Marley, you have been in the bathroom for over an hour....

Are you knitting on the loo?! Are you serious Marley?? Let's move you to a more comfortable place. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T KNIT IN THE DAMN ROCKING CHAIR?! Ok Marley, my face is red and I am annoyed let me just hit pause for a minute...Marley...why are you still moving...did you just "break the space-time continuum" like they cracked that joke about in the "patch" that was supposed to fix this issue?! (reported fixed 17/01/2023 Patch PC: 1.94.147.1030, still broken)

Alright Marley I am going to pull the knitting bag from your inventory, sell it and then buy you a new one, this one is clearly borked...let me just...wait, why can't I put this bag down, what do you mean I can't put it in the middle of the floor where there is literally nothing else around it...*click click click click* Wait, where'd the bag go?!

Marley let's just forget about knitting for a while, please go turn on the vacuum and then we will work on a painting to calm us both down. Oml, Marley that painting is lovel...why is the vacuum cleaner smoking?! Sh*t Marley, I think the vacuum found the knitting bag....

When Marley got home from work the next day she was clearly upset, after a SINGLE DAY at work she was feeling like she was stuck in a dead end passionless job, I sighed.

I asked her to change her clothes and then go paint, she changed her clothes and then stood on her front lawn for over an hour in game time, made a face at me then finally went to paint (known issue, reported as far back as 08/2020, still broken)

When I attempted to save and close the game out of frustration my save got stuck for 40 minutes before I gave up and restarted my PC.

The point of all this, EA/Maxis is you have chosen money over your players. These "fixes" you say you're doing are clearly not actually fixing anything! Your players are crying out for theirs games to be fixed while you are announcing the release of "growing together" And quite honestly I have found myself disgusted with this whole thing. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ADD MODS TO THE GAME TO FIX IT!! To quote a member of this community who I admire greatly "no other ea game is this fucking borked and no other gaming community would accept this but cc and mods more or less served as some sort of bandaid for this broken ass game." -xldkx 31/07/2022 (original post here)

When I am finished posting this I will be going into that horrible buggy af app (I am sensing a theme here) that you have forced us all to switch to, where I will be canceling my pre-order of "growing together" I am done blindly throwing money at you for a game I can not even play in its current state!

FIX YOUR DAMN GAME!!!

My Superstar, Fuss-Pot

Harry get's a little cold after deciding to sing in the rain and Y/N is taking care of him and his medicine makes him drowsy and he just starts confessing too many lovey-dovey things.

WC:1.9k

Warnings: None

PC: A screenshot of a vide shared by @stylesnews

Just like every other person at the show the night prior, Y/N was cheering Harry on but from the safety of the side of the stage. She was given a poncho by some of the tour crew, so she had not been drenched as he and many fans had been, but it was still incredible to witness that moment. Harry had always been a "the show must go on" kind of guy, sometimes to his detriment, Y/N thinks, but this was just too special of a moment and it wouldn't have been the same if he had hidden under the roof of the stage and not roughed it with his adoring fans for the last show. She was very proud of him.

When the show ended his clothes were still wet and his hair a bit damp and because it was the full blown summer time the dressing room areas were freezing cold because the AC was blasting to keep it at a comfortable temperature. This time around, Harry took his time in saying his thanks to everyone before getting changed, he even pulled her along into his dressing room and kissed her until she was dizzy, asking her how the show had gone and what she thought about how everything played out. She could feel his skin was iced over but with the adrenaline flowing through his veins he didn't even feel it and soon enough they were back in their hotel room and taking a very hot shower together as he was trembling when they got back. Soon enough. they were in bed and dozing off very quickly.

******

It was the coughing that had woken Y/N as Harry sat up quickly and she yawned but reached up his back, tapping at his bare skin thinking he had choked on his saliva or something.

"Fuck...my head." he groaned in a very deep and hoarse voice before he let himself fall back into the pillow heavily and she frowned.

"Oh honey, do you need Tylenol or something?" she asked him and he sighed.

"No, it's congestion." he sighed, "There's so much pressure in my sinuses and my throat feels like it's on fire." he whispered before bringing his forearm over his eyes.

"Shit baby, I know it was a little humid after the shower last night but we shouldn't have turned on the AC." she pouted, "I'm gonna order in some tea for you and see if someone can take me to pick up some medicine for you, OK?" she said as she started shifting out of the covers.

"Wait, no. Baby, don't leave me just send someone." he rasped out as his hand grabbed her arm and she pouted softly at him, "Stay and cuddle me."

"Alright, honey. Just gonna grab my phone to call Tom." she said and he released her and she hurried out of the bed and went over to the desk in the corner of the room where both of their phones were. His eyes followed her movements, she was in one of his t-shirts and her panties, it was his favorite look on her. She soon started heading off and he frowned.

"Hey, you said you weren't leaving!" she heard him call out and then start coughing again and she sighed upon hearing this.

"Just going pee!" she called back, "And don't shout, you'll hurt that lovely voice of yours!" she warned. While in there she washed her face and brushed her teeth and put on her moisturizer before heading back in the bed.

"Just going pee? Liar." he mumbled, his forearm was over his face again and she giggled lowly.

"You're being a theatrical baby, honey." she said sweetly as she leaned over and kissed the top of his arm.

"Course I am, m'a superstar and your baby." he hummed back and she grinned.

"OK, you superstar, fuss-pot want me to cuddle you or not?"

"Yes." he mumbled and she propped up her pillows a bit and settled in before he rolled over and curled into her side. His head was now resting over her chest and he hummed as he nuzzled against her boobs a la Matthew McConaughey in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

"Honey, stop." she giggled as she gently patted at his hair, "Gonna call Tom here in a sec." she said as she scrolled through her contacts and he sniffled as she pressed the phone to her ear, "Better not drip any of your snots on me." she teased quietly as her free hand weaved through his hair and he scoffed, with his eyes closed.

"You'd be so fucking lucky." he mumbled and she started to chuckle.

"Yeah?" she heard Tom's groggy morning voice over the phone.

"Tom, sorry to wake you up, dude. Harry's sick-" she said and Harry could barely hear whatever Tom was saying, "Yeah, I know...we fell asleep with the AC on too after having a hot shower...I know, luckily. But yeah, if we can have someone bring over some medicine for him that'd be great." she spoke sweetly, "Yeah, I was gonna go but you know how he gets." she said more quietly and he furrowed his brows upon hearing this and pinched at her waist which made her shriek, "Ow! He pinched me!" she giggled into the phone, "I can't quite move, but can you also have them send up some chamomile and honey tea for him? Thank you." she hummed, "Yeah, I'll be up they can just knock. Thanks, Tom. Bye." she said and hung up. Now, both of her hands were on him, one playing with his hair and the other came down to caress his arm that was draped over her hip. She heard him sniffle again before he groaned and kissed at the slope of her right boob.

"Please keep going, feel good, gonna put me right back to sleep." he mumbled against her and she smiled.

"OK, honey. Just rest up." she spoke softly and he hummed. When Harry woke up again it was because Y/N was sliding out from beneath him. She looked down to see his features etched down into a deep frown, "S'alright, honey. Your tea's here, just gonna grab it."

"K." he sighed and soon she was heading back and she had a white paper bag in one hand and cup of tea in the other.

"They brought up your medicine too, need you to sit up for a second." she said and he groaned but pushed himself up to sit.

"Need to have a wee anyway." he murmured and slowly made his way to the bathroom. When he returned he had washed up a bit and brushed his teeth. Y/N had set out the pill for him to take and he grabbed it and tossed it back before taking a slow sip of his tea and he then slipped back into bed, moving around to once again lay as he had been, "Put on a film, yeah?" he asked lowly and she nodded, "But from the ones you have." he said and she smiled.

"OK, hang on..." she strained as she reached for the remote on the bedside table on her side, she was kind of laying in the middle now. Despite hearing her slight struggle he didn't move an inch and she smiled, he was such a baby when he was sick, but it only made her want to take good care of him, "What are we watching?"

"Mmmm...you have Submarine right?"

"Yeah." she responded.

"That one. Look at Oliver Tate and then come tell me I'm a fuss-pot." he grumbled and she giggled which made him laugh softly as well until he started coughing again and she sighed.

"Oh H. M'sorry you're feeling sick. Hope the meds kick in soon." she said and he hummed. She started casting to the TV from her phone and he was just listening because his face was nuzzled up against her body. She smelled like her and a little mix of his cologne as well and she was warm and soft and the way she was being so loving towards him made him want to just latch onto her until he was fully healed.

They were both quiet for a bit, well besides his occasional coughs and sniffles. Around the 20-minute mark she raked her fingers through his hair and he hummed.

"Is the medicine helping?" she asked softly and he just nodded.

"M'dozing off. Might dribble on you." he slurred a bit and she giggled.

"S'alright. Love you, just get some rest." she whispered.

"Baby?"

"Yes?"

"I love you so much. When we get married-" he said and her entire skin broke out in goosebumps as he said this, "promise I won't let the spark die like the Tate's." he slurred slightly and she knew that he was just speaking out of his ass, the medicine was probably making him drowsy and loose-lipped, "Gonna show you every day that you made the right choice by being with me." he mumbled and she smiled.

"I already feel that way, H." she assured.

"Yeah, but being married s'different. S'more." he yawned, "It means you come first. We come first. Over everything else." he explained and she furrowed her brows a bit.

"OK, but what about everything else?"

"It'll be there when we've finished our year long honeymoon." he mumbled and she laughed softly.

"A year long, huh?"

"Yeah, in Italy. S'already decided."

"OK, honey." she smiled.

"We can wait a little bit more after that before I try and get you pregnant. Like being daddy, but not quite ready to be an actual dad, y'know?" he slurred.

"Oh my god..." her body shook as she laughed under his weight.

"What did I say?"

"Nothing, H. You're just being silly is all." she assured and kissed the top of his head.

"Me telling you everything I've thought about our future together is silly?" he asked sadly and she sighed.

"No, honey, but you are kind of drugged up so I also know to take this very lightly." she explained and he frowned.

"Well don't do that." he mumbled sleepily, his eyes were growing heavier by the second, "I love you so much. M'in this with you for the long haul, even have your ring ready." he slurred and suddenly her smile dropped, this was news to her. They had talked about marriage before but she wasn't expecting to hear something like that at this juncture. They'd only been together a year and a half. Was what too soon?

"Wait, you're serious?"

"Yeah, but don't tell Y/N. S'a surprise." he barely got out as she felt his body fully relax against her own.

Y/N felt tears brimming her eyes and she just hugged him tight and kissed the top of his head as her heart beat hard with excitement. She loved him so much and she too had allowed her mind to wander to what their future could be like if they chose to be more. She couldn't wait for that day. With a smile on her face she got a little more comfortable and leaned her cheek into his head and sighed with a little smile.

"God, you've got my whole fucking heart my superstar, fuss-pot." she hummed.

Read "Halftime" - a very smutty one shot about Y/N being needy for Harry but he's a little bit preoccupied with the Brazil vs South Korea world cup match.

My astarion (x tav) hcs aka just me thinking about

How pretty astarion’s handwriting must be.

How he would enjoy using selfie apps and playing with filters if they worked on him. And how he would enjoy sending Tav selfies of himself and getting praise back. He would also send silly little snaps with bitchy commentary about people. If he had a phone, tav’s phone would be absolutely flooded with messages from astarion: selfies, complaints, jokes, sweet things, random thoughts, sexts.

How that clown would definitely lovingly fix tav’s clothing and if they needed their clothing adjusted, he would notice it (of course he would) and bully tav into letting him adjust it. By complaining, of course.

He would constantly buy tav little gifts. Don’t tell me he wouldn’t. He absolutely would. Every time he thought, “oh, they would like this!” or “oh, they would look so charming in this!” If tav wasn’t against it and he didn’t have money for something that he knew would make tav happy, he would try to manipulate the seller into giving it to him for free or would steal it.

His favourite, favourite pastime would be to lie in tav’s arms or them lying in his arms — he would love either option — and him reading poems aloud to tav. Tav would sometimes try to read stories to him but astarion would always find the morality naive and cringe and would add his own details and create his own versions of the stories to make tav laugh. His stories would always be outrageous and dramatic and have the characters committing more and more far-fetched crimes.

How he wouldn’t enjoy movies like saw because, while he is not opposed to people getting tortured, films like that would be to triggering for him because of the sense of helplessness. (Pre-“good” ending!astarion would derive pleasure out of watching gory horror movies, though, especially ones that punished individuals who posed as upstanding citizens) I think he would enjoy silly ghost horror films and would comment on the stupidity of the main characters throughout the movie and tav would not be able to get him to shut up. Their annoyance would be highly entertaining to him until they got really mad at him.

He would annoy and tease tav every day until the end of time.

How elves (according to dnd wiki, i have no knowledge of dnd) give each other gifts to signify their dedication to someone and Astarion’s gift would be something special he embroidered himself. Maybe an embroidered choker. Also, allegedly elves can have many partners throughout their lives and their unions are not binding — but i think for astarion, it would be and that he is painfully monogamous because of his extensive trauma. I think he definitely had a lot of sexual partners prior to Cazador. But he even says to tav (i saw screenshots from someone’s gameplay) that he would think of them thousands years from now.

He loves gossip and speaking ill of people. He gleefully gets people to bitch about others.

pump up the volume (1990)

director: allan moyle

costume designer: michael abbot

production design: robb wilson king

set dec: tina treglia (peterson)

cinematographer: walt lloyd

BEING WEIRD ISN'T ENOUGH not sure why i like this pin, but i like it.

this film takes place on the cusp between the 80s and the 90s, but i loved that these kids drove these 60s/70s(?) cars, i think to signify that they were low income and couldn't afford modern cars? but i love the atmosphere in this shot.

not the greatest screencap, but i adored everything janie (lala sloatman) wore. the cat-eye glasses, the oversized pink pearl earrings, the ponytail scarf. even though i related to nora's artsy side, i wanted to be janie.

mark (christian slater) is like two different people. at home, he wears cool retro bowling shirts embroidered with the name "dick" and sasses his parents, but at school he wears bland clothing (like he wants to blend into the background) and acts all shy.

i also just really loved mimi kennedy as mark's mom, marla, using a teacup to ash her cigarette into, i just thought it was so posh!

again, loving janie's dangly statement earrings, and the colour combo with her floral bolero (?) and sweet pink dress. i didn't love nora's (samantha mathis) outfit as much, but i was intrigued by the piece she wears over her dress. it ties at the back of her neck, and i think again on her lower back, so it's like a... halter vest? the turtle necklace is pretty dope, and though you can't see it in this shot, she is also wearing purple and white striped tights.

paige's (cheryl pollak) bedroom is a dream! the floral wallpaper and the white bed are so lovely, but the seafoam green radio really makes the colour scheme pop.

man i wish i had a teacher this cool! ellen greene as jan emerson (do they call her miss emerson in the movie? i can't remember), wears the coolest outfits, and she is introduced in this amazing mustard suit accessorized with a turquoise bolo tie! the look is amazing, but it also alerts us that this film takes place in arizona.

paige, doing her WASP thing in an oversized sweater over a blouse, with a string of pearls. it's the necklace that does it for me.

i mostly just wanted to see how many celebrities i could identify in this shot: keanu reeves, johnny depp, george michael, kirk cameron, corey haim, richard grieco... (stole this image from imdb as it was much clearer than my screenshot)

i forgot that plaid wallpaper was a thing and i think it's due for a comeback. particularly loving the plaid (shirt) on plaid (wallpaper) in this scene, so cozy, like a cabin!

so many things to love in this scene: number one, the heart curtains; number two, the kitten sweatshirt (the kittens look like they might be puffy and i can feel it in my mind); number three the "homework causes brain damage" sign on the wall--classic! number four, the clear lamp filled with gumballs? and the cow hanging from it! number five and six, the blue radio and the clear phone! i want one!

did you notice that the tissue box in the highschool staff room is the same as the tissue box in the depressed student's room? do you think it was the same box?

nora's room reminded me of my own room in highschool-- walls plastered with images, and plenty of candles. i think nora might have been one of the prototypes for the manic pixie dreamgirl.

Believe It Or Not I Care

mazz's (billy morrisette) denim and leather look is good.

an example of one of mark's drab shirts, but also nora's completely adorable velvet blouse with a peter pan collar! also, i'm learning that the next time i wear a collared shirt, i need to add a long statement necklace.

so this scene is near the end of the film, and i loved mark's shirt here. i also realized that it's more of a cooler, bolder look than he has previously worn to school, so i think it's supposed to symbolize mark coming out of his shell and revealing more of his true self at school/in public. look at me, i get things.

finally, loving this floral blouse and braided leather suspender on miss emerson. i would probably wear this.

BONUS here's a picture of drew barrymore at "an event" for pump up the volume (according to imdb), i'm assuming it's the premiere, just looking cool and badass. i need that jacket.

another bonus: this adorable promo photo of christian & samantha <3

anyways, most of these pics are my own screenshots, but you should check out higher resolution images on imdb. i couldn't find any articles about the wardrobe in this film, but i did find this 30th anniversary article that was interesting.

All Of Me {Part 05 of 13}

Pairing: Robby Keene X Reader

Chapter word count: 1.9 K

Summary: Being the new girl in the Valley wasn't as bad as you expected, and you were finding your place when the dynamite you were living into exploded. You were kicked out of your house by your stepfather with nothing but a backpack with a few pieces of clothing. There was nowhere to go, and you were preparing yourself to spend the night in the streets when a guy finds you. After being invited to crash at his place, you didn't know the war you were walking into. A war you became determined to end.

<- Previous part (04)

Next Part (06) ->

{Cobra Kai Masterlist}

One of Us

“Alright!” Hawk grunts, sitting down next to you on the bench. Waves of students walk by, going to their cars, or joining smaller groups of people. “Good thing you're still here. I need the perfect place to take Moon on Valentine's day.”

“You got lucky. Robby just called telling me to wait for him.” You say, already leaning to take a look at his phone. “What places do you have in mind?”

“Three. I took screenshots. Check it out.” He hands you over the phone, and you go through the pictures of the restaurants. “The school will have the annual prom, but most of the people just drop by early evening and then move on with their dates.”

“Okay.” You knew about the prom. People are obsessing over it a little. A guy even invited you, but you had to decline. “First of all, what's your budget? This second place looks expensive.”

“I've been saving up for a while.”

“There's a website where you can check the average price of restaurants. Let's check there.” Quickly, you open the browser and type in the site. As you thought, that restaurant is way overpriced, and after some more research, the first one she showed you seem to be the best.

“Great. Now I'll just call and make a reservation already.”

“Oh, you better do. These places are always completely booked during holidays like that.”

“I'll do it as soon as I get home.” He says, and you nod. Then, he opens this new mobile game he downloaded and starts teaching you how to play. You know this one, half the school is playing it. It's a sniper game, where you have to kill the bad guys. You might download it later. “This mission is the worse. We have fifteen men escaping prison and we're supposed to put them all down.” He says as you try to shoot them one by one, killing only two.

“Shit. How many tries do I have?”

“(Y/N),” Robby calls and you immediately turn around, smiling to see him. He furrows his eyebrows at Hawk, from who the eye roll is so strong you can feel it.

“Hey.” Getting up, you pick up your bag and give Hawk a half hug before walking over to Robby. “Did something happen? Why did you want me to wait?”

His lips break into a smile. “I bought something and I wanted to show you. C'mon.” He tilts his head and starts to walk, and you follow him.

“What is it?”

“You'll see.”

Rolling your eyes at all the mystery, you decide to take the surprise instead of insisting on it. “Fine, fine. Should I close my eyes?”

“No need. Over here.” His voice comes from behind you, so you stop and turn around, ready so ask why he stopped when you see it. “What do you think?” He asks, standing next to a motorcycle.

Furrowing your eyebrows, you chuckle. “Wait... You don't mean...” You gesture at the black and yellow thing. Huge, probably heavy as hell.

“I wanted a ride, but cars are expensive, and since it was only me... Only us.” He adds, and of course, your cheeks start burning. “A bike is enough to get us around.”

“That's really amazing.” You tell him, biting your lip as you walk over to him. What Robby just said is still echoing through your head... The way he so naturally included you in his plans... Clearing your throat, you look up at him again. “So freaking badass. Half the girls are looking at you.” Chuckling, you give a quick look around, finding many pairs of eyes on him.

“Let them look.” He says, shrugging his shoulders. “It's not new, of course, but it had been fixed.” He walks around it, grabbing the handlebars. “It's a Kawasaki Ninja 500. And it's fast.”

“Well, you'll have to show me.” You say, smiling.

Robby's face lights up, and his eyes are set on yours. “That's exactly what I wanted to hear, princess.” With that, he gets on the bike and turns it on, the loud, powerful noise drawing even more attention. “Hop on.”

All you can say is that you try. You try very hard not to let this feeling wash over you. But to be fair, you never thought this silly, girlie fantasy would happen to you. A good-looking guy picking you up at school in his badass motorcycle. So you let it take over, enjoying the sensation just a little bit as you climb on the bike - which is a bit too high for you, but you use Robby's body to help pull yourself up -. “Step on it.”

“Hold on, alright? We have no helmets yet.”

“If we die it'll be your fault, you're the one driving.” You tell him, raising your voice a little above the engine noise.

He laughs, and then takes one of your arms, pulling it around his waist. “How fast can I go?”

Taking his lead, you wrap your arms around his midsection, moving your body closer to his until you're pressed against his back. “You're Cobra Kai. You better not disappoint me.”

Another laugh, and then, you're moving.

Inside the school's parking lot, he moves rather slowly. But when you hit the road, Robby takes your breath away. It's kinda scary at first, but when you see he's having fun, you let yourself relax, and enjoy how wild this is. The wind is savage, messing with your hair, whipping at your face. This is dangerous, way more dangerous than riding in a car. But you love it, it takes little time for you to love it. At some point, you let go of him, throwing your hands up for a few seconds.

When you get to the dojo, you're a laughing mess. Robby leaves the bike by the door, saying that nobody would steal from a Cabra Kai, not with the most angry-looking Senseis.

You're holding his arm when you walk in, and some students are already there, stretching or trying some moves. They all look at you.

“It's past time I officially introduce you to the dojo,” Robby whispers in your ear as you cross the tatami, moving into the apartment in the back. “Kyler is throwing a party at his place next week and I want you to come. And I won't take that old excuse anymore.”

Taking a deep breath, you throw your backpack on the couch. “Even if I get to know them a little, it still won't-”

“I really want you to come to the party with me.”

It's the way he says it, the tone of his voice, and the way he comes to stand before you, that makes you nod almost immediately. “Alright then. I'll go. Happy now?”

“Very much.” Again, he leans down to place a kiss on your cheek. “Let's shower. I'll introduce you to them before the class starts.”

“First!” You shout, bolting through the small place and locking yourself in the bathroom.

“Not fair! You went first yesterday!” He yells from the living room.

“Don't be a bad loser!” He replies something silly to that, but then you're left to shower.

Thirty minutes later, you're following Robby back to the dojo. You fall back on purpose because you felt it in their eyes earlier. They've seen you hanging around with the guys from Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang in school. Robby doesn't seem worried about that, and when you pass the office, Kreese nods and you wave at him.

It looks like everyone is here, and you stand near the office door as Robby moves to the wall with the Cobra Kai words. Immediately, everyone gets up and stands to before him.

“Sensei Kreese will be leading the class today, but I just wanted to introduce someone new to you.” He starts, and you're kinda impressed at his... Teacher's voice? Robby looks at you, and you take a deep breath before walking to stand next to him. “This is (Y/N). Sensei Kreese and Sensei Silver allowed her to live here in the dojo with me for as long as she needs. So, since she's using the dependencies of the dojo, I thought it would be right to formally present her to you.”

At the moment it's clear he won't say anything else, the questions start.

“You're living together?”

“In that tiny apartment?”

“Will she join the dojo?”

And many more. But one came louder, from a tall guy in the back. “I saw her with the Miyagi!” He exclaims, and several others nod. “She can't play on both teams. You're either one of us, or you're the enemy.”

“If you've seen her in school, you also know she's new here.” Robby tries to speak up for you.

“Doesn't matter.” A girl on the second line says. Tori. “Mike is right. When you're a Cobra Kai, you can't hang around with the losers.”

Robby is about to say something, but you step forward. “I get the hype. I get this competition among the dojos but I don't think it should reach our personal lives.”

“Cobra Kai is part of our lives,” Kyler says, hands behind his back.

You nod, shrugging. “I understand. It's kinda part of my life now too, but there's a huge difference between wanting to destroy the Miyagi-Do in the Tournament and wanting to destroy them in real life. Or what? Would any of you here be capable of murdering them? Go as far as killing their students? Because that's as far as it goes.” Making a pause, you glance at Robby. He nods, his eyes already set on you. “And honestly... I think it's so much more fun to kick your friends' ass than your enemies'. Seriously, like... I'd love to punch Hawk in the guts so bad.” You chuckle, imagining the scene. “Well, that's only my point of view. You don't have to change yours, but I won't change mine either.”

“About time.” Sensei Kreese's voice comes from the back of the class, and everyone turns to look at him. “I've been keeping this for quite a while now.” He shows you a small package, wrapped in black paper. Kreese comes to where you and Robby are and gives it to you. “Open.”

Without saying anything, you find where the paper was glued and rip it open. Inside, there's a sleeveless, back and yellow gi. The Cobra Kai gi, just like the one everyone is wearing. “Oh my gosh... That's so cool. Thanks.”

“Sensei Kreese, why did you-”

“(Y/N) is free to join this dojo if she likes.” He cuts off Mike, glancing at the class. “She has already been taking private lessons from Robby.” Then, he glances at both of you. You didn't know he knew. “And when she's ready, I know she'll be happy to put this on and be officially part of this dojo. But now... Let's start.”

With that, you walk to the back again, standing there and watching the class.

It takes three days until you finally join them in class. Kreese puts you against some of the new students at first, and they hit you, you manage to hit them right back . But as you remember the tips Robby gave you, it doesn't take much until you're winning most of the fights.

So now, you're Cobra Kai. But your friendship with the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students hasn't changed. And it won't.

A Quick Update! - Style Savvy Trendsetter #09

Hello all! I know many of you may have followed primarily for Style Savvy content, And that's 100% okay! I want everyone to be able to enjoy whatever part of my content they want, however they want!

I would actually start to feel bad if people felt obligated to read my extra ramblings, or check out posts that don't interest them. I make these post for my own enjoyment and journaling my digital fashion journey, across multiple games! So as Iong as I find new experiences I'll keep posting! (Questions/Comments are always welcome!) ----- Style Savvy tendsetter has slowed down quite a bit, so I have not had much to post about, But I feel like it's been long enough to share at least a quick update! First, Chad is getting a little worried about the massive amount of clothes getting sent to my apartment:

He's not very confrontational about it, and it seems like genuine curiosity, and he's a really nice guy, so I won't hold it against him. :) I also ended up entering another fashion contest! I'm still stuck in beginner rank, until the story progresses further. But I think I was able to come up with a cute outfit to match the girly theme:

There's not much challenge at this level, but it's a fun little distraction.

While I'm at least playing a few days a week now, I actually took a break for a while, my adhd just had trouble staying engaged with a game that was this laser focused on one specific activity. It actually being stuck in a waiting room for a doctors appointment, for me to boot it up on my phone again. (don't worry, it was just routine)

Contests don't really give you any money, and only give you a single clothing item for willing, so while replaying them is fun, it's not a great use of your time. I also changed up my outfit for the first time in over a month, I really liked the green kimono, but the pattern was a bit much for wearing around town. So I decided to mix it up a bit:

I found a really nice combination of items that offers a shoulder-less look that I did not think was possible in this game.

Yeah, it's fairly monochromatic, that's pretty much my 'panic play', when trying something new, even if it's not boring, at least it's not messy. haha!

The furniture shop also just opened, so I can now start decorating my character's room!

They seem very excited about it! haha

I decided to go with a mint/pastel purple color scheme, mostly because it's one of the few 3 color matches I could remember at the time for brown/tan, so I figured it would match the flooring well. I'd never want to live here IRL, but I think it looks pretty nice for the game.

Also, fun fact, your apartment's wallpaper will also be applied as your background for the apartment menu. And yeah, that's really it for this update, I'll leave you with one extra screenshot, and those who are interested/comfortable can stick around for the bonus existential stuff! :P

---- /!\ Caution: End of Cute screenshots, Mostly unedited Ramblings beyond this point /!\ Alright, so again, keeping this confined to thoughts I had when playing the game. I've already changed my character's name once, to make them better fit their new identity, and to match the name of the blog. But whenever I see the name 'Cid' printed out in game, It still feels a little weird, Maybe I had just gotten used to the other name as I used it in monster hunter, and other games? It may also because of the masculine connotations from that name, especially since I've been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XIV recently. Because of that and other FF games whenever I see that name, I think of a gruff older man who's also an airship engineer! XD So my initial thoughts would simply be to change it to something similar, like 'Sid', as that could have a more feminine feel that could feel less out of place. And I know most won't relate to this, but this line of thinking often gets me into meta thoughts like: "Why do you feel you NEED to change the name? It's all in your head!", "Is this what YOU really want, or what you think is expected based on others possible perspectives?", "Is this just your way of ignoring your feeling about being a guy playing these games?" So what seems as simple as changing one letter, brings up a whole lot of stuff I'm not currently equipped to unpack. It can be hard to keep track of how you actually feel outside of external pressure. Trying to find my own answers currently, feels like it's starting to unravel some of the stuff I already thought I'd worked through and processed. But it's not a huge deal for now, so I figure I can just focus less on finding a solution, it can take things one at a time, and come back to this idea when I'm better ready to deal with it!

I don’t know if you guys recall the pants nonsense I’ve been up to, but I wanna show off another pair! today’s was the third pair I did, and I tried something a bit different and of course made things more difficult for myself :)

new thing: wedge-shaped inset going down to the knee, rather than a stripe down the full length of the leg, as the last two pairs have been.

actually, for that matter, I never showed you guys the second pair—

have some screenshots from my ig story highlight bc apparently I’ve already deleted the original pics from my phone. (also. hm. I guess this is my Sewing Shirt. in fairness I do wear this shirt a lot)

anyway. today’s process pics and other nonsense under the cut in case anyone is interested!

okay. so. this whole half-leg thing came about partially bc this particular pair of jeans was already pretty roomy in the leg, but actually mostly bc I had some fun fabric kicking around that I wanted to use but that wasn’t long enough for the entire pant leg. I’m still using upholstery scraps of my mom’s - while the first two pairs were done with fabric she never got around to using, this fabric is leftover from when she recovered the seats on our dining room chairs, like, a decade ago. I’ve always loved the patterns we used for that project, and I’m kinda delighted I have another use for some of the remaining fabric.

decent, actually-sharp pinking shears have made a world of difference to this project, btw.

also, something neat about this fabric in particular is that it doesn’t have a wrong side! I could’ve used either side on the outside. I chose the side that’s facing up in that pic on the left there - with the continuous pattern in colour and the off-white parts broken up. I also cut the pieces along the same axis that the colour stripes fall, which is why - as you can see in those pics at the top - one inset is mostly blue and one is mostly green.

I’ve been doing my best to Be A Grownup about this project and actually pin things in place before sewing. I hate pinning, and it was particularly challenging this time, but I did do it. :|

you may notice I also safety pinned the pockets together. this is bc when I removed the side seam from the pants, I also cut out the pocket rivet so I wouldn’t have to sew around it, as that was a real challenge in my first pair. with pair two I removed the rivet but then had the pocket layers flopping around and not wanting to line up anymore. so, pair three, pin those layers together. She Can Learn!

something I didn’t do, but wish I’d done, is sew the bottom of each wedge/V-shape before the sides. would have made things simpler and probably also tidier. but hey, I learn something new with each pair.

basted the seams, which was kind of a bitch - again, I could probably have done things in a different order to save myself some trouble. checked the fit, then finished the seams with a zig-zag stitch. fought with the thread tension a lot. such is life. did the bottoms of the V-shapes by hand at the end - they’re not perfect, but they’re good enough. do you know how many people will compliment you on visibly altered clothes even when you know there are big mistakes in them? it turns out almost no one actually knows how to do this stuff.

trimmed off the excess fabric from the seams at this stage. I wanted to do it sooner, because I was struggling to mentally match up the exterior wedge shapes with the interior rectangles, but I think it was best to leave things untrimmed until the end - leaves me space to fuck up, lmao.

I also strengthened the waistband a bit, in the same way I did with my second pair - by folding the fabric over a couple times at the top and (carefully) stitching lines to at least approximately match the seams on the original waistband. I rarely tuck in my shirt, and I’m usually wearing a belt, so I’m not super fussed about that part being really tidy, but I like the continuity of the lines. (also: I even busted out the iron to get those creases nice and clean. christ, I must be serious.)

and that’s about it! I’m pretty happy with the result, and they feel really comfy to wear. I was playing some good music while I worked, and did a little dancin’ around once I had them on… I think they pass the test :)

I'm truly so fascinated how you come up with these compositions, also how you are so good at the anatomy and proportions. Would you have any tips for someone on how to improve their drawings, maybe even a demonstration?

I'm a professional art teacher, however I've never made any tutorials. I guess I could give one free demo if people want to contact me in pm and then maybe have a skype session or something? Just once because I'm busy, sorry. 😅

The way I learned was years and years of practice, but the first thing I tell my students is to start tracing just to make things easier and stop being afraid of failure, whether they use tracing paper for traditional art, or layers in photoshop for digital art.

You find what you want to copy and trace it. Of course, there's the problem of finding the right angle of the character you want to draw, the right pose. So you either google the pose/clothes/background/expressions you want ("man sitting on couch", "holding hands", "men in suits" etc), take screenshots from the movie/TV show, or you have your friends model for you, and you take many many pics of them. You either print the photos or draw by looking at the screen (if you want to do free hand instead of tracing).

The hardest part is how to attach e.g. Valery's face on the bodies of your reference pics. That is learned only through trial and error, so don't be afraid to try and fail and throw away tons of paper. What I do is print out every single face/angle I think might be useful to me, so what you see in my art is a composite human figure, taking the expression from one picture, the hand movement from another, the hair from a third one etc.

I don't do tracing for my own art, I do free hand, but you can try either method and see what suits you.

As you can see here, I changed Valery's head many times to the point that I had to erase it entirely because not only did it not look like him but also it was too small compared to Boris'. What a huge pain in the a$$.

Then on to the inks.

I use kurecolor or copic markers, as many shades of gray as I can get my hands on - so much easier than messy watercolours and acrylics (which I adore but yeah, messy - also not handy if you want to draw during a flight).

One useful tip is to take your distance from the drawing as many times as you can. While you draw you may think it looks right but once you get up, it doesn't. So make sure to take a few steps back and look at it from a distance while you work on it, that way you will notice easier any flaws or things you want to change.

Another tip for getting it right is looking at the art through a mirror (hey, Da Vinci did it so why not you). If not through a mirror, just take a picture of your WIP and reverse/mirror it on your phone. You'll notice any imperfections right away.

Prosciutto and Fashion!

i’m blaming pinterest for inspiring this post, but also i just think about this a lot. this is going to be a really messy post i’m so so sorry lmao. also sorry so many of the clothes i’ve included have plaid on them but his suit gives me some plaid vibes anyway, on with the post ✨

୨ ╭ ୨୧ ✦ ︶꒷꒦・⎯⎯・⎯⎯・₊ˎ✧๑

Gucci

i’ll start with gucci because i mean this man just looks like he would be head to toe in gucci. and also, the fact that the model georgina grenville just looks like prosciutto. they look so similar even down to the teeth it’s actually unreal. i think he was inspired by her and in particular by her in some of the pictures i’ve picked but either way i had to say it. i’ve put pictures below, especially of her wearing outfits that absolutely remind me of prosciutto (they aren’t all of her but i think 6 out of the 9 photos are). this is probably the closest moodboard in this post to the clothes we actually see him wear, but please don’t expect the rest to be like this lmao. i didn’t even get to look too deep into too many of their collections because after i seen all these pictures of georgina, my moodboard for this section was already set. i’m sure there’s a LOT more than the ones i have below!

collections:

1995 fall ready to wear

1996 fall ready to wear

also here’s an extra gucci picture i forgot to use on my moodboard because i made this post on my ipad and this screenshot was on my phone 💔

it literally just looks exactly like what we already get to see him wear and it makes me 💖💖💖

Versace

so a lot of these outfits that gave me prosciutto vibes are kind of feminine and though i don’t think he would wear a skirt, i do think he would look great in these outfits (just picture the skirt as a pair of trousers or something). his suit reminds me of plaid and i think he would look great in some sort of plaid suit (more of that to come lmao). there’s one outfit i loved that i’ve put below and though i don’t think he’d wear the scarf the model is wearing, i think he’d look good in the outfit. all of these are from the same year and the same collections (i’ve named the collections below the little moodboard!) but honestly i feel like they all could work on him somehow. also prosciutto in a trench coat? yes please

collections:

fall 2018 ready to wear

fall 2018 menswear

Fendi

i kind of knew about this brand but hadn’t really seen any clothes until i was looking at some of the versace collections and omg some of these i think would look great on prosciutto and i think he would definitely like a few of these. some of them are a bit boring to me for the colour palette but i think prosciutto would suit them so much omg. again, prosciutto in a trench coat is such a lovely thought to me 💕 i don’t have much to say apart from that one off the shoulder blue sweater thing would look so good on him ahhh. some of these are maybe not something he would choose to wear but i think he could pull it off honestly. prosciutto in a sweater would be just *chefs kiss*. some of these are a little bit of a reach but like i said this post isn’t about exact copies of the outfit we see him wearing and more about things i could see him wearing so i’m letting it slide lmao.

collections:

2019 fall menswear

2022 fall menswear

2014 fall menswear

2018 spring menswear

Vivienne Westwood

so there’s a lot more plaid here again and i’m so sorry about that lmao. that aside, i totally think he would wear these. plaid would look so pretty on him and i really think some of these vivienne westwood suits would just look so so good on him omg. also, a lot of skirts in here again but i just imagine the outfit with trousers of the same pattern. especially with the purple plaid outfit i’ve put below because i think that would suit him perfectly, especially with its colour scheme. also one of these suits are currently on her website right now if anyone was curious lmao. it actually does have trousers to match but the model for the jacket was wearing the matching skirt soooo. some of these are maybe a little bit off the mark for him but i like to think he would still look good in them.

collections:

1995 fall ready to wear

1994 ready to wear

there were other collections but i typed them on my phone and it didn’t save i’m so sorry but i know one of them was from 2012 and i think two were from 2016

Dior

again some of these are a bit of a reach and honestly i kind of feel like sometimes if i see the right kind of suit i automatically think it will suit prosciutto but the first outfit i have in the moodboard with the pinstripe suit would look sooo good on him. also the outfits with the turtlenecks. he’d look so good in a turtleneck omg 😭💕 especially the outfit i’ve put below with the suit and the turtleneck, he would suit that so much! i once again don’t have much to say here i’m so sorry but here’s the moodboard anyway! also he’d look stunning in one of those dior chain necklaces that i didn’t include a picture of but i really should have lmao.

collections:

2009 fall menswear

2021 mens resort menswear collection

2022 mens resort menswear collection

2019 spring menswear

2018 spring menswear

Armani

i’ve only picked 4 outfits here because i was sort of struggling and i was going to leave this one out altogether because of that but i actually think some of the ones i did manage to find looked quite close to or reminded me of what we do get to see him wear so i felt like i should at least mention them a little bit. he’d look beautiful in all of these but especially in the two on the right side of the moodboard omg 💕

collections:

2021 menswear

2018 menswear

Prada

a few of these are feminine again but just pretend it’s trousers and not a skirt lmao. again i actually kind of struggled for this one even though i thought it would be super easy but what i will say is a lot of the shoes from prada gave me prosciutto vibes so i included some of them in the moodboard this time because i haven’t really spoken much about accessories and other things aside from clothes.

collections:

2019 menswear

1993 spring ready to wear

2018 spring ready to wear

2020 fall collection

Misc. Brands

i was going to keep going but instead i’m going to conclude this post with a few outfits from a mix of fashion brands. i’ll put the brand down below the moodboard instead of the collection names this time ✨ i think he would totally rock the two dolce and gabbana suits i included

brands:

chanel

burberry

valentino

dolce and gabbana

louis vuitton

<Get to know the mun!>

1. Are you named after anyone?: Nah, though my middle name is from my father's side. Fun fact: my dad actually wanted to name me Trillian, from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Kind of wish he had won.

2. When was the last time you cried?: I think I may have teared up at some point during Suzume when we went to see it in theaters.

3. Do you have kids?: No, and I do not plan on having any at the moment. I've got a niece, though, so I've got a little one in the family to buy obnoxious toys for.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?: It's part of the family vernacular, so yes.

5. What sports do you play/have you played?: sports??? Not really. I was in color guard in high school, and I practiced kung fu for many years in/after college. Sadly I have lost all of my athletic ability as I've aged.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about other people?: Their outfits! I love seeing the stuff people choose to wear, even if I don't put any effort into my own clothing.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?: Happy endings, I'm terrible with scary movies.

9. Where were you born?: Orlando, Florida.

10. What are your hobbies?: FFXIV/gpose, I suppose gaming in general, writing (generally only for the current hyperfixation, and even then only in the notes app on my phone never to see the light of day), and once in a blue moon I draw.

11. Do you have any pets?: Just one, a german shepherd named Orion who has the most adorable face I've ever seen.

im kinda surprised i dont see many people talking about the police lights that are visible when august is looking in the mirror, what do you think about it?

hi!! so ik what your talking about

this clip and the other here where there's the lights (I couldn't get a screenshot where you could see the lights in the other clip) the thing is that idk if they're police lights ? I'm pretty sure they're from a party, actually!

example here (though I don't know if it's this party specifically) where there are flashing red/ blue lights as well:

someone else mentioned this in a post as well, and August can be seen sitting at a party in these same clothes

so that's why I don't THINK it's actually police lights

BUT, with that in mind, if it IS police lights:

Theory #1: i feel like there may be a connected reason here

in the mentioned post, they also talk about how they think this is the same party where the rowing logo gets set on fire. maybe it's something to do with that? maybe the fire got out of control and emergency services were called. in which case the mirror scene would potentially be happening after the party scene, and it would be August putting his "game face" on to seem in-control while talking to the authorities (picked up from the way he schools his expression into the smile)

Theory #2: August is getting caught for having done... something.

I don't think it's about releasing the sex tape, because I feel like the queen has got that covered up entirely.

However, I've been thinking a lot about the small scene we got where Wilhelm is being taken out of class and told he's being removed from Hillerska. It's just very interesting to me that Wilhelm is being accused as the one who called and issued threats against the monarchy (?!?) and how he seems kind of confused about what they mean when they tell him this.

So while I think it may be pretty unlikely given August's clear guilt we've seen so far, it had entered my mind that maybe someone else had called from Wilhelm's phone to issue those threats. So I'm not saying I think August did that but it's not outside the realm of possibilities. ESPECIALLY if August thought it may get Wilhelm taken out of Hillerska. We already know Wilhelm is making August's life miserable there so him wanting to find a way to get away from Wilhelm makes sense.

So keeping this possibility in mind, this could potentially be August being caught facing threatened the monarchy. And while it was a more quiet affair when they believe Wilhelm did it, he's the Crown Prince and it was probably seen more as an act of rebellion and an internal issue. Whereas August doing it, it would be considered a true threat because while he's related, he's not PART of the monarchy. So he's treated like anyone else who would do something like that.

Making this the scene where August is arrested, and I think he knows what's coming and why and he's trying to go down easy. He knows he's been caught, so there's no use fighting it. So he'll go with a smile, even if it hurts.

So yeah these are my 2 thoughts on that if they do happen to be police lights :] there are a million possibilities, of course since we don't know what happens yet, who does what, any reason there may be police involved, or still even if they ARE police lights or not! I'm so so excited to find out, and I hope you enjoy the wild theories until we learn!

#young royals #yr s2 spoilers #this was super fun to think about #i also hadnt put much thought into them being police lights either bc i do still think they're party lights #(maybe just timed intentionally in the clips to only be red/ blue to mislead us ?) #but i HAD been entertaining the idea about the threat to the monarchy but hadn't had much reason to give the role to August #but yeah this all made me really go 'huh actually it DOES kinda make sense for it to be August' #so!! thank you for that!!!! #i hope you enjoy reading my crazy thoughts eheh #young royals analysis #august of årnäs #askers #anon #shh ac #young royals season 2 spoilers #young royals s2 spoilers #yr s2 predictions

19, 28, 29, 50!

Thanks for asking! I'm excited to dive in!

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)

Ohh man. I could really say any of the parental figure OC's, because my parents were miserable to me growing up and I try to write characters who are more like the parents I would have liked to have growing up. But if I'm picking one of the bunch to talk about, it's Talia.

So my relationship with my mother was even worse than my relationship with my father. Not that it's much of an achievement, because they were both terrible. My mother in particular was incredibly critical of my appearance, my choices, my performance, everything. For a young "girl", this really manifested in constant comments about my weight, hair, clothes, the way I acted "boyish" and didn't cross my legs, etc.

Ultimately, I think it comes out in my writing because I definitely have way more fatherly figures in my works than mothers. So Talia is really special to me. We don't get to really interact with her directly much, since she's gone by the events of Ride or Die, but she is still very much present in the story through the positive impacts she had on others.

She's so strong in her convictions, and her sense of justice. She loves her son even when he makes mistakes, or doesn't end up being quite what she expected. She is, in the end, able to let him make decisions for himself, even if it tears him away from her.

Talia waited so long for a son she loved with every fibre of her being. She was afraid of his power, but knew the alternative to handling it was losing him, so she tried so hard to do what was best for him until it became too much for him to control. Only then does she seek out the Jedi, even though she is terrified of being separated, she lets him make the decision to go.

I think it's just kind of beautiful, and sad. I wish I had the power to make decisions for myself as a child, and that my parents would have respected that. That's something Talia embodies to her core.

28. Your most dangerous OC?

Hmmmm. This one made me think. The obvious choice might be one of my Jedi characters (NAJ, JKL, MXW) because they are obviously Force wielders, therefore more powerful. Then we have a couple of characters who we know are capable fighters, but do not have the Force (Renson, Vanyiel, Theo, Talion, Talia, Reegale). I think, honestly, another factor would be "if this weren't a 1-on-1 fight, who has the most destructive capabilities", and that pulls Theo and Renson towards the top, because Theo commands an army and Renson is part of the Emperor's Red Guard.

But under that logic, I would have to pick HRH. Renson is under their command, and I think at the end of the day, if HRH wants someone or something dead, HRH gets it. They have the entire might of the Emperor behind that.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?

We know this has to be Dralla. This has her written all over that. She loves secretly getting herself into dangerous situations and not telling anyone else about it.

50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

Okay! Let's see.

Not to be a massive tease, but I've found a bunch of OLD artwork of OC's of mine, some of whom never even made it into print, so to speak. Many of them are just Pau City citizens of sorts, which might make them... ideal for adaptation and insertion into other, more recent works.

Like this guy, for example (excuse the terrible quality I'm having to screenshot a screenshot on my phone):

(Idk why I gave every Pau'an golden eyes back then it makes no sense)

But what if Utapau'an Skyforce Montay Rheah finally gets his time?

#thanks again for asking!
