bad news: in the course of the last two weeks, flatmate went from slightly annoying, messy and irresponsible to an outright arsehole, especially at work
good news: I might be moving into a single flat very soon, possibly this weekend!!

AAAAH forever stress is going to kill me one day
#the bin#i hate knowing why i feel so bad and not being able to do anything about it#im scared that ill never ever feel better. its been so long since i felt ok. im worried that ill make friends and still feel horrible all#the time and it wont matter. i cant keep doing this. im so tired of being all alone. im so tired of the constant inescapable dread#im going to figure something out. in a month ill be moved and i can start figuring everything out then#i hate not being able to focus on anything besides how bad i feel. i cant enjoy anything. theres so many shows i wanna watch but i cant#because im so distracted by this. theres so much manga i wanna read and i cant.#literally the ONLY thing that has been able to make me temporarily forget this for any amount of time is dungeon meshi#its so fucking good and it sparks so much joy that it does help but not enough. i get sad again really fast.#well. im trying really hard to manage my stress. i did the math on how much i should be getting. i know that i will have rent at least.#there are 2 weeks that i dont know what my hours will be but assuming i get 13 hours at least then i should have an ok amount for#moving. its possible theyll be worse and its possible theyll be better. im really hoping theyre better. my hours have been SO BAD recently#i dont know why. i know im not bad at my job or anything. i sont think my manager dislikes me either. he does this whenever someone#hasnt been feeling well and hell do it for a couple weeks and i think its him trying to be considerate but i have bills to pay man#technically there is a shift i could pickup but the store has a drive thru so im nervous to bc idk how that works and if im asked to do that#then ill have no idea so ive been avoiding taking any shifts like that#hopefully enough will pop up in the coming weeks and i can get some more hours. i know i can cover moving vehicle cost but idk how much#gas is gonna be so im suuuuper worried abt that. hhhh. hopefully my sister and her boyfriend can get me back the $300 they owe too#honestly idk how they werent able to afford rent but immediately after they were able to afford a 40 hour roadtrip and yimw off work#whatever. it doenst matter.#i wish i could deal with the other stuff messing me up rn but i cant fix the loneliness thing without not being alone and i cant fix that#it doesnt matter how much i tell myself ill make friends eventually or if i believe it or not. i feel bad because ive gone way too long#not hanging out with anyone and my brain cant handle it.#im gonna see if maybe i can play a game with my sister soon. or maybe i couod play smth with my younger sister even#i pkayed roblox with her for a little while. maybe she would want to again. i miss her :(

Hi, it's my birthday next week, so may I please request Bram, Tetchou, Sigma and Ranpo celebrating their s/o's birthday with them (could be anything.. from headcanons to scenarios to oneshots and from fluff to smut, I don't mind)? No rush, take your time, please!
omg happy early birthday nonnie🎂 and ofc I loved writing these hcs hope u like it too. I was planning to do smth lengthier but I got caught up with work and couldn't buuut enjoy♡♡
°☆○
Spending your birthday with them♡
𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒎, 𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒎𝒂, 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒖, 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒑𝒐 𝒙 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓
𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒆: fluff♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒎
"Ah, birthdays. I've had plenty of those"
he's not really sure how people celebrate anniversaries now, so he has to ask Aya about it
his original plan was to organize a big feast for you but he ends up making you dinner instead
if you want to have a party with your friends he'll agree to join, but he'd much rather spend time with you alone
in the evening the two of you would take a bath; with bubbles and candles and then just cuddle and watch a movie
Bram is especially gentle with you on your birthday and right before you go to bed he's gonna confess his love for you in the most old fashioned, romantic way possible. considering his status in the past I think he's highly educated so he knows his way with words
I see him gifting you jewelery
𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒖
Tecchou would ask you days before if you want to have any fancy party and would lowkey be relieved when you tell him that you only wanna spend your bday with him
due to his job he can't spend all day with you, but as soon as he gets home from work he hugs you and spins you around, wishing you happy birthday
then he takes you to a nice restaurant for dinner
he's the type to write you birthday letters and leave sticky notes with little heart shaped drawings around the house
Tecchou tries to bake you a cake and asks Jouno or Tachihara to taste it, but because he uses weird ingredients it turns out terrible so he just buys you a small cupcake instead
BIRTHDAY FLOWERS!!!💐💐
as for presents he gets you anything you want, really. if you're not willing to tell him what your heart desires too bad he's gonna contact all your friends and ask them what to get you
he cuddles you to sleep and tells you how much he loves you, how happy he is he got to spend another year with you♡
𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒎𝒂
Sigma would panic at first cuz he dosn't know what he's supposed to do for your birthday; he never celebrated his own so... yea
when he researches it on google and finds out he's supposed to get you a gift he freaks out again cuz he doesn't know what to get you
but eventually he ends up buying smth small like a plushie or books you've got on your reading list and a box of chocolates
he makes you a homemade birthday dinner and decorates the table with candles and flowers hhhh he's so romantic
now Sigma would be willing to get a little spicy with you if you want it; he doesn't mind it at all. you want bday sex? ok. but at the end of the day he still wants to cuddle you♡
in the evening he probably asks you what you usually do for your bday so he can be better prepared next year
I don't really see him being keen on big parties so he won't organize anything of the sort
𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒑𝒐
he wakes you up in the middle of the night like 1 a.m just to make sure he's the first one to wish you happy birthday
if you don't work for the Ada Ranpo would get a free day from work to spend time with you♡
and oh my if you know his colleagues he would throw you a small birthday party with them (Dazai's idea ofc)
baking a cake with Ranpo for your birthday is a must. Poe helps him do the shopping the day before so you've got all you need and of course, you end up doing most of the work while he just admires you and keeps sticking his fingers in the dough to "sample" it.
I don't think he'd get you a big gift tbh; he has the "what do you mean sugar? am I not enough of a gift for you?" mentality. he's also so much clingier than normally
now two words: birthday sex. this man is wakes you up with head and doesn't let you go to sleep in the evening until you've came at least two times.
Ranpo is usually lazy in bed but for your birthday he's willing to do all the work; after all, your special day is only once a year♡

18. “I shouldn’t be in love with you.” 💕💕
hhhh i love this prompt thank you so much <33 prompts from this post.
Y'know that thing people always say? About how absence makes the heart grow fonder? Yeah. Eddie gets it now.
It's been five months since Robin whisked Steve away to Chicago so she'd have someone close while she's in college, and if Eddie thought he had it bad for Steve while he was right there at his side all summer long, it's got nothin' on how bad he's got it now. Steve calls him every other Saturday, and Eddie watches the phone all fuckin' day waiting for the damn thing to ring.
It's not like they don't see each other. Steve came home with Robin over Christmas, and he spent most of his time here at the trailer with Eddie. They're not a thing, not really. They're touchy and affectionate with each other, but they always have been. That's no different than it was the summer they spent in each other's orbit, never too far out of arm's reach from one another.
But they're not a thing, because Eddie's too much of a coward to risk their friendship by confessing his feelings when there's a very real chance he's being fucking delusional.
The thing is, though, Steve doesn't call anyone else on the kind of schedule that he calls Eddie. And when he calls, they stay on the phone for hours. There shouldn't even be that much to catch up on, but Eddie finds himself making note of every little thing that happens in Hawkins that he wishes Steve could be there for.
On Eddie's birthday at the end of January, decidedly not one of their designated call days, Steve calls him. It's two minutes after midnight and Eddie's got his guitar in his lap and a pencil wedged behind his ear, and the phone rings.
"Happy birthday," Steve says quietly when Eddie picks up the phone.
Eddie twists the phone cord around his fingers. "Thanks, Stevie."
"Was I first?"
Eddie huffs out a laugh. "Yeah. Didn't even give anybody else a chance. It's barely midnight. Shouldn't you be in bed? You have work tomorrow, don't you?"
"Mmm," Steve says, a little sound of confirmation. "Wanted to call anyway. So what do you want for your birthday this year?"
You.
Eddie's overcome with that feeling again, the tingle all the way down to his toes when he thinks about how gone he is on Steve, when he imagines his smile and his laugh and the warmth of him at his side. Eddie misses him a little more every single day.
"I mean... I dunno if you could deliver, Stevie."
"Try me."
Eddie aches. It's like Steve is begging him to say it. He wants to say it. So badly.
"I shouldn't."
"You shouldn't what?"
"I shouldn't be in love with you," Eddie whispers, and then he holds his breath.
It's quiet. Steve is too quiet for too long and oh, god, he's done it now. Stupid. That was so stupid. Such an idiotic thing to say, fuck.
"I'm coming home this weekend," Steve says at last. "I'm coming home to see you and take you out."
"Because...?" Eddie's voice shakes with hope.
"Because I... I haven't felt this way about anyone in a real long time. You really couldn't tell? We almost kissed on New Years, Eds."
"Well, y'know..." Eddie stammers. "Thought I imagined that."
He remembers how close they'd been that night, how Steve's breath had smelled of beer, how Steve looked at Eddie's mouth before Eddie'd turned away from him. Here he'd been thinking he'd stopped himself from making a stupid, terrible mistake.
"I can't play it cool anymore. Being away from you has been..."
"Hard," Eddie finishes for him.
"Yeah. I wanna try this with you. I wanna try... us. That okay?"
"Seems too good to be true."
"Maybe it is. We'll never know unless we try, right?"
Eddie twists the phone cord around his fingers again and tries to hide his smile behind the receiver, even though Steve's not here to see how stupid and love drunk he looks right now.
"Sooo... I did manage to charm you with my irresistible good looks and excellent taste in music?"
"Something like that," Steve says, and there's a smile in his voice. "I'll see you this weekend."
"Can't wait."
"Happy birthday, Eds. I... I'm sorry it took me so long."
"Better late than never, big boy."
still taking requests!

wholesome wednesday :)
This was supposed to be smaller but...oh well. Have fun with a wholesome brothers moment I came up with today, set after the events of sonic riders zero gravity. i wanted to share this only on the discord server im in, but it’s too long to send it hhhh. so, i hope you enjoy :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
“Mornin’ buddy.” he jumps a little at the greeting, ears still sensitive from their last adventure. Maybe from the lack of sleep as well.
“Good morning, Sonic.” he replies, mentally slapping himself. His voice sounded way too coarse, even coarser than Sonic’s, and now he is certain he is going to get lectured very soon. Despite that, he continues his work, trying to cover up for the slip up by not letting his brother see his face and - potentially - the dark bags under his eyes. Maybe if he acts like nothing is wrong, Sonic won’t suspect a thing and-
“Tails?” he doesn’t flinch, even though it felt like Sonic was on the verge of interrogating him. Instead, he minds his own business. 
“Yeah?”
“Miles.” A hand on his shoulder and the sound of his birth name in that strict tone, urge him to turn around on his chair as he lets out a long sigh. Tools still in his hands and ears hanging low, Tails suddenly finds interest in the tiles of the workshop’s floor. 
Sonic bends down in an attempt to hold Tails’ gaze, not letting go of the fox just yet. He tilts his head as he tries to get his attention, but his little bro looks the other way, still actively avoiding him. Sonic scoffs at that, impressed by the youngster’s stubborness. 
“Hey, don’t act like looking away can hide your puffy eyes from me.” Sonic resists the urge to roll his eyes as he states the obvious. Yet, that seems like this is enough for Tails to look back at him, though hesitantly, because he knows without a shadow of doubt that there is no chance of escaping getting scolded.
A pair of emerald eyes pierce through him and Tails feels uneasy (and a little disappointed in himself) as soon as he watches Sonic’s serious expression morph into a concerned one. “Why didn’t you sleep?”
Tails brings one tail closer to him, fidgeting with its tip the best he can while not letting the tools out of his grasp. “Who said I didn’t sleep? I-i just got up early because I needed to work on this new prorject of mine that-”
“Tails.” Sonic cocks an eyebrow, voice dangerously calm; it feels like a warning. “How about you try that again? This time no lying though?” 
“I was working on something a-and-”
“Tails,” Sonic interrupts his stuttering in a sing-song voice “I think I said no lying?”
Tails grumbles and crosses his arms. He hates it when Sonic can tell that he islying when he can get away with it all the time! 
Sonic doesn’t know for how long he has to be mad at him, but it’s becoming increasingly harder to keep a straight face when his little bro is pouting in front of him. Aww he’s so cute. 
Still impressed by his persistence (and refusing to let him see a smile slip up while he was getting scolded) , Sonic gets up and lets him go. He knows he won’t get an answer this way so he decides to take a look at what Tails had been tinkering with. 
A yellow extreme gear lies atop of the workbench, alongside many blueprints and scattered tools. 
Sonic inspects it for a few seconds, it seems like nothing has changed since the last time he took a look at it; since yesterday’s events. And usually, when Tails tries to improve his inventions, he makes sure to make it evident that there has been a change made. Right now? Nothing has changed. 
“So, you’ve been working on your extreme gear?” he takes a shot again, hoping he will get an answer this time. 
Tails turns around, facing him. “Yeah!” 
Sonic couldn’t help but notice the uncertainty in his voice. “And, I guess you could show me what exactly took you all night to figure out?” 
He got a wince as a reply. And a fox who appeared to be shinking on his seat the more he kept this conversation going. 
“So, nothing new then.” He traces his fingertips across the smooth metallic surface of the gear. Their only weapons against yesterday’s adventure. 
His eyes widen in realization. 
“Tails, buddy...” he trails off as he allows his face to soften, approaching his brother who is having a hard time comprehending the sudden change in demanour from the other person in the room. “You could’ve told me.” 
“Tell you what?” he counters, confusion prevalent on his features while carefully spectating Sonic who had stopped a few inches away from him. 
“Yesterday was tough for you-”
“What do you mean?” he almost sounded offended and Sonic could only wince at that. So, he bent forward, both hands on his buddy’s shoulders as he continued.
“Alright, yesterday was tough for all of us.” he admitted, images of flying into outer space occupying his mind. “So, you have every right to feel scared, it wasn’t easy-
“I’m not scared!” Tails leans forward, holding Sonic’s gaze as he tries to persuade him. As he tries to persuade himself. Sonic needs a useful and fearless ally by his side, not a whiny and scared little child who backs down at the dangers that come his way. Even though he proved to be the opposite of that yesterday, he still was afraid and the aftermath of the fight wasn’t the best for him. 
Sonic steps back, arms wide open on his sides as he tries to reason with the genius in front of him, “Dude, it was a black hole! The whole world was gonna be blown to pieces, of course you were scared.” A beat of silence and Sonic quickly makes use of Tails’ refusal to speak. “We had to fight a giant mutated robot too, all that while a thunderstorm was happening.”
Tails’ eyes lit up with fear, the reminder of the thunderstorm making his fur stand on edge. 
Sonic wants to get closer to him once again but decides against it, as another idea pops up in his mind. “Hey, listen to me.” he says as he bends down to his eye level. “I’m proud of you. And you are the bravest person I know. You didn’t let your fears stop you from saving the world and that’s one of the coolest things you’ve ever done! I wish I were as cool as you, kicking ass while trying not to drown.” Tails snorts at that and as a result, Sonic’s smile brightens up. “Metaphorically and literally. But you need to give yourself some credit. You did great out there.”
“You...you mean it?” 
“Of course I mean it!” he stands straight, hands planted on his hips, “And you deserve to let yourself get scared. Just remember that you have friends who will try their best to help you out with that.” 
Tails smiles for the first time today and Sonic considers that a win. 
“Come’ ere.” Sonic opens up his arms, an invitation which Tails can do nothing but accept. He bumps head first into his chest as he circles his arms around his waist, grip as strong as the hammer that was long gone from his hands, just like the other tools on his chair. Sonic makes sure to return the gesture, tightening his hug as much as he can, head on top of the yellow bangs he usually likes to ruffle. 
He can feel Tails’ smile grow wider on his chest and it makes him happier by the second. He closes his eyes to embrace this moment. Before making the both of them sit on the floor, a fox snuggled up in his arms, looking as little and vulnerable as he was a long time ago, Sonic makes sure to kiss his forehead softly. 
And he does the same again as he sits against the counter of the workbench, with a fast asleep Tails inside the safety of his hug.

RAAAH 6TH TIME TRYING TO SEND THIS 😡😡😡 i hope this works
so i wanted to metaphorically cash in this request you said i could make, and i thought i’d do that as a reward for me getting into color guard!!
can i request the twst boys (surprise me on the characters) with a s/o who dresses in the dark academia aesthetic, listens to classical music all the time, and reads classic literature a lot? (totally not how i wanna be LMAO) thank you so much <33
https://www.tumblr.com/starboyshoyo/712163095699750912/permission-to-just-reblog-all-your-works-cause
A/N: @lacuna-at-dawn hello!! I have finished my AP exams and now have time to write. I didn’t get the other five rqs so it’s good you sent it in again hhhh. Dark Academia is my best friend’s favorite aesthetic so I know a little about it! If I get some things wrong lmk! I listened to the Enkanomiya soundtrack from Genshin Impact while writing this. 
Pairings: Malleus Draconia x reader, Cater Diamond x reader
Fandom: Twisted Wonderland
Genre: general, romance
Malleus and Cater with a Dark Academia-esque s/o!
Tumblr media
Malleus Draconia
Oh, dear Child of Man. You were made for him, weren’t you? 
While Malleus knows better than to judge on appearances, he just knows you would fit right into the beautiful, thorny landscape of his home in Briar Valley. You may not be feared by others like he is, but he can’t help but think you might understand what a life in the shadows means. It’s not all dreariness- it can be beautiful too. 
Your fashion sense is apparent to him on days when you’re not confined to your school uniform. It’s not all-black like his; instead, you opt for a mix of muted colors like wine reds, browns, and forest greens. It’s like you’re a lighter version of him- you are the shade to his shadows, the slumber to his death. 
When he accompanies you around the school, he’ll always be one step behind you. It makes him feel as if he is your protector- though it is a bit funny to see Sebek and Silver trail behind Malleus, who trails behind you. Occasionally, Rook will join in (read: stalk them) as well, and then other students will wonder if someone had started a conga line in the hallways. 
Malleus’s view of time is a little bit skewed in comparison to humans, so when he sees you reading classical literature, he might question if it’s a new release because he swears he met the author of the book just last week- nevermind, it was last century. Well, either way, he’ll go out of his way to finally get around to reading it, just so he can discuss it with you. Sebek is a big help in this regard as well- he’ll be more than happy to tutor Malleus in English so he can have more in-depth conversations about literature. 
Classical literature also gives Malleus another way to spend time with you alone. During quiet hours in the NRC library, he’ll pull up two seats by the fireplace and invite you to sit with him, curling his arms around you protectively. You’ll take turns reading out loud to each other- and when you get tired, he’ll continue in that deep, relaxing voice of his until you drift off to sleep. Then, he’ll carry you back to his room in the Diasomnia Dorm, watching over you and keeping you safe until you wake again. 
Besides library dates, Malleus’ most memorable time with you came when he asked you to show him your favorite songs. The music is somewhat melancholy and romantic, and he’ll close his eyes for a moment as he picks apart the notes. It’ll remind him of the slower songs played in the Briar Valley castle at mealtimes- only this time, he isn’t alone.
When he realizes this, he’ll stand up, striding over to you, and hold his hand out while looking at you with the love of the world in his eyes. 
Child of Man, may I have this dance? 
Tumblr media
Cater Diamond
Cater is an expert on all things aesthetic. He’s a Magicam influencer, after all, and he needs to keep up on the times! You’ll immediately become a star, with Cater setting up a couples’ page where the two of you post various Dark Academia songs, art, photos, and other media. 
Cater is used to dressing in whatever is trendy, but the more time he spends with you the more he’ll be converted to your fashion tastes. You’d better be ready to see Cay-Cay in turtlenecks, slacks, sweaters and the occasional pleated skirt! He’s not afraid to try everything at least once to find what he likes. 
The two of you will have many dates where you’ll go to swap meets to find academia-esque clothing. He’s open to letting you dig around in his closet to find pieces you like as well. Cater will want you to pose in the mirror with your outfits, so he can snap a photo and post it to your page. The rest of Heartslabyul might be a little surprised with Cater’s change in looks, but they’ll definitely support him when they see how happy you make him. 
TBH, Cater isn’t really into reading much. Books are so old school to him! The fact that they have no screen bores him. The middle-ground you find is digital books. When you introduce him to it, he might be doubtful at first. But he’ll quickly find himself absorbed in the stories as old as time and soon enough, he’ll fall headfirst into the classical literature rabbit hole. Don’t expect him to go to the library though! Just looking at the outdated computers makes him want to retch. 
On the flip side, your boyfriend has always enjoyed classical music very much. Sure, he likes pop and country and rock too, but there’s something super calming and refined to the classics. He enjoys sharing earbuds with you while you walk down the hallways, listening to a mixed playlist of your favorites. 
Over time, Cater will find that he enjoys the calming darkness of your aesthetic over the cutesy, bright one that used to cover his Magicam page. It makes him feel a little more seen- like he can be vulnerable under it all and not have to keep up with appearances as much.

May i request some headcannons about larry having some lustful thoughts? Like your a new [young woman] waitress at the treasure eatery and he didn't seem to care. But, these thoughts never leaves his mind. Which affects his work, then realizes his lust for you. Then the deed has been done between them both.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Hhhh this ask has been fucking up my brain chemistry thank you.
Cw: age gap(older man/younger woman)
Nsfw
Fem!reader
Larry pining after the Treasure Eatery waitress.
( sadly no banging just unresolved sexual tension ;) )
Larry knows every single worker at the treasure eatery. Has he sits down in his usual spot, his eyes gaze over at an unfamiliar face. A younger woman, by the looks of it, that eager to please smile and a little notepad in her hand as she jotted down everything she needed to know; he couldn't help but crack a small smile giving out a light, breathy chuckle knowing that the soul-crushing career life has not buried its fangs down on her yet.
Has he waited for the other staff to see him wave and excitedly greet him by his name before saying, "The usual?" he couldn't help but watch the waitress make her rounds, jumbling over her words awkwardly as she gave the customers with their drinks or food. That was when her eyes met his for a split second, cheeks turning pink when she realized she was being watched. On the inside, the new waitress was panicking, hoping to make a good impression on the Elite Four member and gym leader, who is also a regular here. His eyes were on her as if he was testing her internally.
When the waitress returned to the kitchen, the manager excitedly( and to her horror) practically dragged her over to where Larry was sitting. "Larry! This is our new hire!" Shaking like a newborn deerling being in front of practically a celebrity, despite his ordinary appearance. The businessman, his onix trained on her while he took a sip of his water, gave her a nod.
Larry got a closer look at her when the manager brought her over, her shyness was admittedly cute, but he didn't want to scare her more than he already was all night, so all he gave was a nod.
You finally breathe a sigh of relief when the regular leaves the restaurant, the pressure of being your best and impressing the Elite Four member being lifted off your shoulders. A moment that your coworkers will probably tease you for till the end of time. Even though Larry long since left, you couldn't help but think about how piercing those onyx eyes were.
Larry felt like a creep, watching her all night like he did; he was unsure why she held his attention as long as she did. Maybe it was that sweet smile. Maybe it's because she was just entertaining to watch. Hearing her stumble over her words, are practically see the gears turning in her head as she tries to figure out how some of the appliances of work. Or maybe, it was when those eyes met his own so bright and lively, only for her to tear her gaze away from him. He couldn't help but think about the way she was practically falling apart in front of him as the manager introduced her. Did he really intimidate her so much? He wasn't sure whether he liked that idea or not.
Perhaps he should try getting her to feel more comfortable around him...
On your shift like clockwork, the day went on as normal, occasionally messing around with your manager and coworkers. When the day went slower until your heart picked up when you noticed Larry walking into the building, slowly but surely getting the hang of this job, you should be more comfortable, but now you have cold feet. And, of course, since your manager thought it was the funniest shit ever that Larry scared you so much, she had you take his order.
Larry's eyes almost light up when you walk over, his stone face watching an almost amusement as you fumble over your words, trying to remember his name, all your thoughts leaving you the moment you met those deep piercing eyes, trying not to stare at his lips touching the cold glass of his ice water, and how his adam's apple bobbed with each drink. "H-hi uh..." "Larry..." "W-what?" "It's Larry, you can say it. I don't bite." He inhales deeply at the way she sheepishly says his name.
your entire shift has been a blur, distracted by a current someone.
He didn't sleep that night. The moment he knew he was in a little too deep, is when he replayed your voice saying his name in his head, well thinking about that eager-to-please smile when he first saw you, those eyes looking up at him has his fingers Trail through your hair your hands on his thighs his pants unzipped "Larry..." he could feel his boxers getting tighter as he cursed under his breath.
Larry was officially a creep... the hell was he doing?? he was a middle-aged man while you looked like you were in your early to mid-20s. His eyes glazed over, no longer focusing on the screen in front of him, instead of his hand, his thumb rubbing over the place your fingers brushed against an accident when you sit down his usual meal on the table.
you seemed different from the last time he came in. You still had that shyness he always liked, but now it seemed you were more playful, good means he wasn't scaring the hell out of you. Tonight in particular, however, he noticed the changes in your appearance immediately. You could feel his eyes on you; once again, you wondered if he noticed your makeup. He did. In fact, your pretty pink lips were all he could stare at. He felt like he was going to go crazy when he walked by his table, getting with of what smelled like vanilla perfume... as much as he liked what he saw, the nagging feeling in his chest began to bubble up, 'Who are you prettying up for? A boy?' yes, a boy... he was your age once; he knew how they could be.
It's not like he was any different, as he was just thinking about smearing that lipstick on something that was bigger than the pen that was in your mouth. Usually, he avoided thinking these kinds of thoughts, but he was a couple of shots of alcohol in, and work had been stressful for the past few weeks.
He tried to ignore the fact that he would catch you stealing glances. As much as Larry wanted you, and by Arceus he did, he could feel his cock stiring as a scene plays in his mind, bending you over the bed, a hand on your pretty throat rubbing the head of his cock against your tight entrance.
He didn't wanna get his hopes up. Heh, as if a young spark like you would be interested in a boring old man like him.

i don’t think you have to apologize at all for not having a symphony update tbh! it’s very gracious of you to do so but i hope people remember that it’s your passion project first and foremost and not anything any of us readers (regardless of how involved or invested you allow us to be) should feel we have any say over, schedule wise. i love your writing and will always wait for it, and know a lot of your other readers will probably say the same!
(as an aside: something i noted when i first started following you in december was how prolific you were… like the fact i could check your blog every day and there was some food?? i was floored. but even your current posting sched impresses me—the fact that you say you’ll have something out one day and on that day IT IS OUT. idk maybe i am used to my old fandoms being more casual or being interrupted by life, as fandoms with adults tend to be like. so you writing and sharing as much as you do is not something i take for granted. thank you as always.)
(i hope this message reads as appreciative / friendly as i intend it to be hhhh… i’m sorry if not…)
thank you for your kind message! i have a rather long one in return, i do apologize, but it is me, so we should probably have all seen it coming! :D
so, i've kind of talked about it here and there, but i have a wrist that is pretty sensitive to overworking. in high school, i would practice music for hours and hours every day without properly stretching or taking breaks, because no one told me i should do so. as a result, i really wrecked the tendons, and my ulnar nerve in particular has a tendency to flare up. it's quite painful when it hurts, and before it starts properly hurting, i experience i kind of buzzing numbness that is distinctly uncomfortable. it's not severe enough for surgical intervention, but it's definitely a limiting factor in what i'm capable, mechanically, of doing in a day.
back around november/december, i was posting a lot more. but that was with me disregarding my wrist and pushing through the pain, such that for the first couple of weeks in january it was nearly impossible for me to write. this was emotionally agonizing, because i love writing so, so much, and i wanted to share everything in my head with all of you! i felt like i was failing on a precedent i had set for myself, and it's very irritating seeing my mountain of projects getting bigger because i can't write quickly enough to put a dent in it and not just because i was coming up with more ideas (which is, to be clear, still suuuuch a problem haahahhaa).
it got to the point where i started confiding in my partner and my friends about my issue, and they all insisted that i start slowing down. and they're right! i was being reckless with my health, knowingly this time, and they're absolutely correct that i need to take breaks. take days where i don't write. days where i rest, and stretch, and let my wrist heal and recover.
i know it sucks as a reader, i really do, especially if you came on board during that time when i was being super active. and i'm not apologizing, per se, since i'm certainly not going to apologize for prioritizing health over hobby. but i do understand the... hm. i'm going to say frustration, but perhaps i mean the disappointment, or the whiplash maybe, from having someone going from posting very very frequently to less so. i'm still what i'd categorize as an active, prolific writer, but it is infuriating to know that, without this injury, i'd be capable of much more. it annoys me to no end, i swear! but i am purposefully stepping back, for my health, and for the worry of my friends and love ones.
all that said! nothing is on hiatus, nothing is being cancelled, none of that. it's just going to take me longer to work through things than any of us would like, hahahaha. so i really do thank you for your sweet and encouraging message, and i appreciate all of you for every thoughtful wish you send, all of your funny comments on my fics, and your support. i'm actually getting to the happy problem that there are so many that it's not quite feasible for me to respond to all of them individually, but i do read and treasure each one. this is the most uplifting, positive fandom i've ever experienced, and it really does make a difference as a writer knowing that people are filled with joy when i share my art and then go and spin that joy back out into the world.

imo hes moving a wee bit fast (compared to other people) but honestly its really cute cause he gets really flustered and bashful easily so i think it's just nerves haha.. he trips over his words when complimenting me and seems so genuine with what he says 🤧 if he flops my trust issues gonna go thru the roof istg..
i told him i love both equally cause i do !! i have lots of gold from my family but silvers soooo nice... i have a lot of both so anything works for me really !
and to the anon that asked -- i havent met his friends yet, but he showed me pictures of him and them together ! they dont get to bike around a lot (a good few dont), but he said they often meet n hang out at car shows n bars lol
again love you all!!! 🫶🏻
!!! wait no because now that u mentioned it, maybe he is ajsifja???? but then, u did say he might just be shy and nervous hhhh i think as long as u are safe and comfy and u have room to call the shots, then that is perfect!!! <33
and yea hhdsh it is quite endearing to see him fumble like?? big man trippin over his words bc he wants to impress u sm??? :(( aww
no because if he flops, im flying there to kick his ass fr >:( no amount of his bike’s horsepower can outrun me
so valid for saying u like both (silver and gold) because both are pretty!!
ouu car meets/shows! ive gone to one and it truly solidified to me that its not my scene LMFAO. its loud - rightfully so - but also its so crowdedd i felt so exposed and so claustrophobic at the same time. had me gripping the back of my friend’s jacket, and she’s 5’3 so the image was probably funny because there i was, towering over her while she leads us to her circle
but again AHHH im so happy for u sweet love <33 thank you so much for giving us an update hehe we love you lots too!!
how have you been, btw! how was work?? (hows his jacket-) hope ur bundling up n staying hydrated, oki?? mwahh!

Hmm okay so we know high school Aaron was an absolute wreck. Man could not figure out how to ask out his crush without joining a literally theater production and just awkwardly dancing/singing as like Pirate #4 and desperately hoping she'd notice him. We also see him not able to ask out Beth for MONTHS when girl was like basically running into his arms every few days. Later she literally tells him, in public and (quietly) in front of his son that he'll 'score' if he comes over to her place that evening. I have drawn the following conclusions:
1. Hotch is oblivious as fuck. You could be standing in front of him, titties out with a sign in your arms saying "FUCK ME AARON" and this man would turn his head and look around like, I didn't realize there was another guy named Aaron here
2. Hotch never learned how to flirt with someone who he doesn't know on a very personal basis. He learns how to flirt with a specific person after a lot of time dating/married to them, but man has absolutely no idea how to flirt with a woman he likes
3. Hotch likely needs constant explicit reassurance that you like him. Like even 2+ years into a relationship with you, he needs you explicitly tell him that you want him and what you want him to do. Even after he learns your tells, he still needs to hear the words come out of your mouth
4. Hotch is a flustered mess. He's very used to having to hide his nervousness behind a confident exterior and overanalysis, so you might not realize it at first. But if he likes you, he has absolutely no idea how to interact with you. He's either gonna act like a clumsy stuttering school boy who can't form words, or he's gonna be in "cold emotionless bossman" mode. In opinion, he rotates between the two extremes‐-you work with him for three days straight on a case, and the only thing he says to you is "Good work Agent," before promptly leaving the room. You're convinced he hates you until he tries to bring a mug of coffee the next morning and drops it on the floor
5. Hotch is only good at dirty talk and domination because this man needs to hear you speaking to him. You could literally be writhing on the sheets in ecstacy and he's asking you how it feels cause he's like, but what if she doesn't like it though?? He literally looked up dirty talk phrases at one point and made a little script in his head so he could subtly check in
6. Hotch is deeply insecure. He is insecure about himself on a level that is likely never going to be fully fixed. It's why (at least partly) he's such a gentleman and a Consent King, why he's so dominant and emotionally closed off at work and in his personal life, why he's only ever had two SOs in his life, why he distances himself from everyone at the BAU. He'll make other excuses about these things, and who knows if it's from his bad childhood or military school or what. But part of the reason why he cares so much about whether you're insecure or why he is on a fundamental level such a kind person is because he gets self-deprecation on a level that he doesn't share with anyone, not even the people closest to him if he can help it
HHHH I AGREE He genuinely does not fucking get it if or when someone is flirting with him. Or even why. Why flirt with him of all people?? It takes a lot for him to slowly accept that yes, you are actually into him and want to date him.
And poor sweet Aaron needs reassurance a lot :( he doesn't know what he's done to have you in his life so you gotta lay his head on your chest, play with his hair and tell him all the reasons you love him and need him in your life 🥺🥺🥺

Jacq x GN!Reader
"Learn to Love (Pt. 2)"
You start your quest towards getting your Capsakid to respect you more. Training your Pawmi and getting him to watch is simple enough, but as you soon learn, it might not be as easy as it seems...
Tone/Ending: Frustrating, but Things Start Changing
Warnings: This is the part where you risk your life, but it's over pretty quickly. Also, the tonal whiplash at the end is intense (but intentional)
Continuity: Part 2 of this story
Word Count: A bit over 5,000
_\V/_
It was nighttime. You had spent the day fighting random wild Pokémon near Los Platos. Pawmi takes down a Bounsweet with ease, turning to you with pride. You cheer her on.
"Go, Pawmi! You did it! You're a natural!"
And she really was, she even showed you a move she thought of trying out where she rubs up against the opponent and paralyzes it. Thankfully, the Pokédex could identify the move as 'Nuzzle'. You were in awe of how it could be identified so fast just by analyzing her movements. There could've been a mix-up, but there wasn't upon further research.
You decide to call it a day, ready to find somewhere to sleep.
"Ok, Mii! You did amazing out there, let's go settle in for the night!"
She relaxes as you recall her, contentment obvious on her face, happy to be getting some rest after a long day.
Bringing your mons to the nearest Poké Center, you get her healed up. You then call them both out, a smirk on your face, wanting to see Kid again.
Mimi jumps out, feeling refreshed and recharged. Kid also makes quite the entrance, but when it lands, it blinks a few times and stares up at you, taking the wind out of your sails.
"Hhhh-hi, Kid! Here we are in Los Platos again, how was it watching Mimi from your Pokéball?"
Capsakid turns to the Pawmi, who curiously tilts her head, ready to hear how it felt. It looks down for a second before looking back up to you, making you nervous. So you change the topic.
"Uhhh, HEY! We should eat, yeah?"
Pawmi jumps around happily, having worked up quite an appetite since lunch. Capsakid watches her response before looking up at you. The stare isn't as intense as before, so you assume it's simply saying it would like food, too. You clasp your hands together.
"Allllll righty, then! Let's grab some grub!"
_\V/_
Every day went something like that. You'd wander around to train Mimi up, letting Capsakid out to run around and play with her sometimes before settling in for the night. Five more days had passed just like that, with Pawmi even evolving into Pawmo! Watching her transform was an experience, and you still get chills thinking about it, endlessly proud of your little mouse girl. Jacq got like, eight pictures of her before you forced yourself to stop, but he took the time to comment on them all. Apparently, she was now half fighting-type, too, which intrigued you.
That night, you decided to have a picnic for dinner, watching your Pokémon run around and play fight each other while occasionally coming back to the blanket for a few bites of food. As you were spacing out, contemplating your next course of action, your phone vibrates.
"Eh?"
You remembered other people's Rotom Phones saying what the notification was, but you kinda preferred it this way, simply vibrating instead of making more noise all the time. Placing your sandwich down on your plate, your phone flies up to eye-level (which makes you jump), and you see it's a text message.
Going to investigate it more, you see it's...
"Jacq?"
You read it.
"Hello, hello, there! Just checking in, hope all is going well. At this rate, I can only imagine how strong Pawmo is! Be sure to stay safe out there, alright?"
He's right, Pawmo's now strong enough to use Thunder Wave, although you were slightly confused on how it only paralyzes the foe. Capsakid must've been learning and getting ideas while watching her, as it recently tried out a move the Pokédex called 'Crunch', which... not gonna lie, did not excite you. But mostly because you can only imagine the stuff it'd absolutely wreck back at the academy once it got better. How was the place so pristine with all those Pokémon roaming around...?
Shaking your head, you respond.
"Oh! Sorry for going MIA, been really excited training with them. Tomorrow's our last day away, I'll let ya know how it goes!"
You furrow your eyebrows, deciding to quickly shoot a text adding onto the conversation.
"And yeah! You're right, thank you! Pawmo and Capsakid have been doing great! Uhhh, totally unrelated, how should I Crunch-proof a home? Asking for a friend 😇"
You hoped your message came off as jokingly as you wanted it to, as you suddenly felt guilty only talking to him about Capsakid-related stuff. You'd have to have an actual conversation where you don't run away the second it isn't focused on the little green gremlin sometime soon, no matter how hard it is to think of something.
You look down when you see some movement. Speak of the little devil...
"Wha- HEY!"
Capsakid runs off, having successfully stolen some noodles from your weird hodgepodge of a sandwhich. It laughs maniacally as it does so (well, to the best of its ability with noodles in its beak), its tiny form whizzing past Pawmo, who watches in confusion before turning to you, chattering lowly. You sigh, shrugging, before picking it back up and taking a big, noodle-less bite.
_\V/_
Later that evening, you decide to sleep outside instead of trudging to the nearest city or calling for a flying taxi. You put together a makeshift campsite, debating on whether or not you wanted your Pokémon out with you before deciding to call them back into their Pokéballs. Better safe than sorry.
Lying down on top of your picnic blanket, backpack acting as a pillow, you sigh. The air was chilly, so you were thankful for the forethought to bring an extra blanket just in case any inns or hostels had underwhelming bedding.
You close your eyes after getting one last look at the moon. Everything was so clear out here. No city lights, no sandstorms, just moonlight and the sky. It was great! And you idly hoped you'd dream of yourself and your tiny team exploring more of this big beautiful world as you finally drifted off.
_\V/_
The next morning, you open your eyes, adjusting to the rising sunlight. You vaguely catch a glimpse of some Pokémon fighting nearby. Shooting up, you see it's a Chewtle and... Capsakid!?
"Cap! What!? WHY are you intimidating random Pokémon!?"
Capsakid actually turns to you, looking rather angry, before crying out. You aren't sure what that cry meant, but it seemed specifically angry at you...
"What did I do??"
Capsakid knocks the snapping Pokémon out before toddling over to you, crying out even louder, frustrated that you don't get it. And you really don't. All you know is that you woke up to Capsakid out of its Pokéball, attacking a Pokémon with no prior context. It seemed to be mad at the Pokémon at first, but after you woke up and admonished it, Capsakid seemed genuinely, personally mad at you. You're very close to realizing why they were fighting, but something just isn't clicking in your tired, tired mind.
You look around. A pair of Chewtle were watching from the sidelines before running off when they notice you looking at them. Strange.
You sigh before sitting up more and letting Pawmo out, rubbing an eye as she chatters a little. The picnic blanket is already out, might as well make breakfast for the three of you.
"Well, I'm up now. Final day, let's do this!"
_\V/_
You basically forgot about your anger that morning, taking it easy and just letting them passively train through casual play on your way back. They both seemed to enjoy your walk. You're returning to the academy, but before that, you decide to do a little check-in on your duo.
"Okay, guys! Show me your moves! Who's going first?"
Mimi waves a paw, more than eager to show you what she's learned. You smirk at this action before pulling the Pokédex app up.
"Okay! Show us what ya got, Mii!"
She gives you a confident nod before going somewhere a little ways away from you two. She then starts the show.
She jumps up and does a front-flip, using her tail to slam into the ground.
'Slam'
She runs into a small bush and sparks fly.
'Spark'
She raises her paws up, a few thin veils of electricity coming off her in waves.
'Thunder Wave'
She burrows into the ground.
'Dig'
You whoop and cheer, clapping.
"WHOOOOOOO, HECK YEAH!!"
She casually comes back up, grinning from ear-to-ear before running over and rubbing against your leg. You pick her up and pet her puffy head tuft, turning to Capsakid.
"Okay, buddy! Your turn!"
Capsakid... stares at you. You wait, ready to see what all he learned, when you realize...
"...oh no..."
_\V/_
"Okay calm down"
Your frantic text was answered right away.
You were running toward Mesagoza, something that seemed to be becoming a regular occurrence for you. Pokéballs in-hand, you manage to burst through the front entrance, causing the man who had been waiting for you to jump.
"H-hey?" He waves timidly.
"He STILL won't listen!"
He does a little hand motion to get you to settle down.
"Okay, okay, let me see... bring 'em over there?"
You do so. Standing out on the battle court, tears of frustration threatening to spill out. But you don't let them, assuming it's some misunderstanding. Jacq kneels down to talk to Cap better.
"Capsakid... what's going on, bud?"
Capsakid cries out a little, seemingly irked by something in particular while gesturing towards you. Jacq nods, glancing at you when it does, asking "And this happened today, right?" Capsakid nods, chirping affirmatively, and Jacq says something else to it. You caught the end, where he promised to talk to you, however. Talk to you about what? You wish you could understand your Pokémon more, guess that'll take time, too...
It chirps a little. Jacq nods before a strange expression flashes over his face. He looks it in the eye, asking something that made you worry.
"What's the last move you thought of trying out? Can you stand over there and show us?"
You freeze as you watch the little pepper run off to use a move you'd never seen before. It jumps up, and a barage of seeds, larger than when it uses Bullet Seed rain down. Jacq freezes upon realization.
"Seed Bomb..." He looks to the side.
"What?" You turn to him, frantic. He mutters under his breath, although you can't hear what it is for a moment.
"... why didn't I consider this..." he hissed to himself. "Of course this would happen, why... why didn't I..."
"Wh-what?"
He looks up at you, eyes already pleading for you to forgive him.
"I... may have forgotten how potent their ability to learn from each other can be... these two species usually get stronger at about the same rate, too... I'm... sorry... for not thinking of this..."
You... aren't sure what to do with that information, staring out with a look of utter bewilderment on your face. You can barely feel his hand slipping into yours, thumb gently rubbing yours as he holds it.
"I'm sorry... please don't blame him. You're a wonderful trainer, a natural, even. I know he'll listen to you soon, I can feel it..."
You whine a little, refusing to look at either of them. Refusing to look at anyone, actually. He has an offer for you.
"If you like, I can keep Capsakid while you train Pawmo more. Maybe if it sees you raising her, it'll trust you and want in."
You let out a sad little huff.
"...he... would..."
He raises an eyebrow.
"Eh?"
You clarify.
"I think it's a boy. I think so, based on the tail..."
Jacq looks down at Capsakid, who had come over to check on you. You continue.
"I'm not that good at identifying the anatomy of plant types, which is why I hesitated, but the way the tail curves into the back... it might be a guy. Correct me if I'm wrong, though."
Jacq picks the Capsakid up, gently holding it under the stomach to examine the tail... and you're right. Capsakid is a male.
He slowly starts to smile, before that smile turns into a beam, face turning a light shade of pink as he looks up at you.
"Wow, good eye, you're right! You really DO know your Pokémon..."
You groan. You don't feel like you deserve any credit, but you won't put him down for giving it.
"If I said yes, could I still get him at night? And take him to breakfast in the morning?"
He squints, trying to remember what was said before nodding.
"Oh! Yes, of course. You can take him back any time you want."
You look absolutely gutted... but you agree.
"Okay. How about next week?"
_\V/_
You weren't nearly as enthusiastic as before, and Mimi could tell.
You sat underneath a tree in South Province Area whatever when she came over, berry in-hand. She lifted it up to you, a small smile on her face. You look over at her, taking it.
"...thanks, Mii..."
She grinned, head held high before looking back at you. You hadn't put it in your bag yet, so she took it and put it in your berry pouch for you. You nod in appreciation.
"Thanks again."
You groan, stretching a little before letting out a stream of air.
"Ugh, sorry, guess I need a pick-me-up."
Mimi chirped as if agreeing with you. You huff, feeling mildly better, letting her climb up on your shoulder before forcing yourself to your feet. You then make your way to an empty field so you could summon a flying taxi.
Something was very, VERY off.
_\V/_
It's nighttime in Mesagoza.
Making your way back inside the academy, churros in-hand, you pick Capsakid up, who was running around, happy as can be in the empty hallway as Jacq watched from the biology room's doorway.
The moment Cap sees you, he chirps and runs up to you. You smile a little bit, holding your leg out. He grabs onto your pant leg with his beak and shimmies up a little as you lift it up, Mimi reaching down to grab and place him on her head, chirping out a little welcome. He returns it, nestling into her head tuft. He may not listen in battle, but he seems to not even need direction in other areas of your life together.
You look up at Jacq, who smiles warmly at you all, offering a warm greeting.
"Welcome back, how'd it go today?"
You try to smile, but you can't.
"Eh, I uh, I dunno. Guess I didn't sleep too well last night. Couldn't get much done. I think I'm gonna take a break tomorrow, it's the weekend after all. No classes, and I don't need tutoring."
He frowns, but not for the reason you initially expected.
"Please take it easy, you're pushing yourself too hard. I think a longer break where you bond in other ways is in order."
You shake your head.
"Nah, just gotta rest and mentally prepare better. I know I'll be okay soon..."
You notice the pitiful look on his face. Even Mimi is turned to you, worried, which doesn't reassure him.
"...thanks for the concern, though. I promise I won't force myself to do anything."
He hums a little, lips pursed slightly, eyes darting off to the side as he nods in deep thought. You walk over to him, shoving a chocolate covered churro in his hands, snapping him out of it as he looks down at the treat, then back up at you in confusion.
"Also, thank you for watching Kid. You like these, right?"
He nods furiously, mouth slightly agape, a light blush creeping on his face. You yawn, arm covering your mouth as he blinks at you.
"Okay... gonna get some rest now- enjoy! I'm sharing mine with these two back in my dorm room."
You give him two firm pats on the shoulder before walking back down the hall towards your room, Mimi squealing excitedly as he watches you head off.
_\V/_
You had slept in quite a bit, but it was still light out. Cap was already staring down at you and laughing, as usual, while Mimi was lying on her back, tongue out and limbs tucked in at the foot of the bed. She looked awkward like this, sure, but she just found this position comfortable... for some reason.
Sitting up, you get ready for the rest of the day, putting on your uniform and trying to come up with ideas on what to do. You're still drowsy, but you need to feed your critters. Bringing Cap and Mimi down to the cafeteria for some food, you stare at your Rotom Phone. There was quite a bit going on in Mesagoza that you didn't even realize were going on. If you're done with this whole obedience thing by the end of the semester, you'd actually like to slow down and enjoy the area before going back to Cascarrafa.
You can't help but wonder how much Mimi would enjoy your hometown. Looking down at her as she enjoyed her fruit salad, you come up with a plan to visit a few times to get her used to the... quirks of the area before going back permanently.
...
Darn. You actually feel kinda sad. You sorta enjoy the school. You'd miss it, even though you're only here for the one thing. The fact that you were basically using the academy as a whole to get access to Jacq didn't ease your guilt, either. Does he realize your ploy...?
Ah well, no use dwelling on that. Your duo had finished eating, and you still didn't know what to do before getting back to work tomorrow.
"You two wanna walk around the city?"
The two of them chirp happily, so you stand up, letting Mimi crawl up on your shoulder as you grab Cap, taking them toward the entrance hall.
It's vaguely humid out, but Mimi's fur is strangely unaffected. She jumps down, spinning and dancing in the afternoon air, prompting Cap to hop down out of your hand. You watch as the two dance and play. They really do get along despite their differences. Capsakid is a natural troublemaker, while Pawmo is very mild-mannered. And yet, they didn't let that get in the way of their weird little siblinghood. It was even evident that Mimi is older than Cap. Not by much, but enough to where she acted as a second caregiver at times without thinking about it, even before she evolved. You can't help but chuckle a little at the thought, but something about the idea gave you hope...
You pull out your phone, walking towards the steps before deciding to sit at the top. Watching the two of them effortlessly run up and down the stairs made you wish you could just climb up the sides or something. Whoever made the elevators in Cascarrafa should be handed this project, just saying... but nevermind that! Nevermind the fire in your calves just thinking about it! You're off, letting them lead the way, simply happy that you were able to just run downstairs this time. You could dread the walk back up later.
They wander around Mesagoza, exploring the city streets with wonder in their eyes. You watch, a small smile on your face. You're starting to like your life with them as-is, even if Cap won't listen sometimes. You don't necessarily NEED to battle to own a Pokémon, and with his mischievous nature, perhaps he'd just always be this way. You can still have good moments together regardless.
The two had started playing some weird kind of leapfrog. Chirping and giggling together as they got closer to-- the edge of Mesagoza?
"Wait, guys!"
Cap, now on Mimi's head, jumps up onto the short wall connected to the gate leading out of the city, wagging his tail and taunting Mimi, who giggles at the attempt to rile her up. He starts to dance, but he looses his footing.
"NONONONONONONONOOO!!"
He cries out in terror, knowing his fate as he falls over the edge. Mimi is frozen in fear, but you start running on pure adrenaline, almost dropping his Pokéball in your haste to unequipt it. Launching yourself over the small barrier, just barely holding yourself up due to your feet hooking onto the wall's edge, you hold his Pokéball out like a ring's box, hoping, praying, BEGGING to Arceus he's close enough to recall...
...it snaps shut, almost pinching your fingers as you struggle to keep your grip on it. You're too afraid to look anywhere, eyes squeezed shut and hands holding the ball in a death-grip. You hold it closer to your face and finally, fearfully, give it a look...
...and you see it. The blurry green blob inside the translucent shell of the Pokéball. He's safe! Sighing in relief, a hysterical laugh escaping your lips. This Pokémon would be the death of you and you knew it, but right now, you were the happiest you'd been... ever, really. The pain of the tears escaping your eyes as the situation dawned on you hit hard, but you didn't care. Cap is safe. Cap is SAFE. You'll make sure he's safe from here on out. Mimi, too, who you had just realized was holding onto your leg for dear life on the other side of the barrier, crying out as her little fighting arms tried to keep you from tipping over any more.
...
Crap, there's no ground below you. He really chose the absolute worst place to be a menace, didn't he? Even the surrounding area had places to push yourself back up, but here... you stare down below, as if keeping a firm eye on the water will keep it from getting any closer to you.
Mimi, who is still trying to pull you in the right direction shrieks in horror, and suddenly, you feel something grab your shirt. You're then lifted several feet into the air.
'No, NO! Why did I wake up this morning? I just wanna go home!' you think, breath caught up in your throat as whatever it was that grabbed you brought you somewhere. You didn't know where, or why, holding Cap's Pokéball close to your chest and curling up into the fetal position, Mimi hanging onto your calf. It must've been quite the sight...
The creature slows down at the steps leading up to the rest of the city.
"Thank you, Farigiraf..." you hear a man say as the creature, apparently a Farigiraf, gently places you down, snorting as it backs away.
You feel a hand touch your back, hesitantly, before it starts to rub it.
"You... I saw that, that was insane..." he mutters, almost to himself.
You're too scared to open your eyes, still curled up in a ball to the best of your abilities, although Mimi climbed onto you to hug you like a Komala, covering as much of you as she could. The man had stopped rubbing your back as a result, but he stayed close, telling a group of curious passersby that you were alright, just shaken up.
You open one eye, turning your head to see the wild-haired scientist kneeling down next to you. He had a very pensive, if not concerned expression on his face. You can't take it, the adrenaline, the fact that you almost flipped yourself into the waters below, the fear Cap must've felt when gravity took over-
-his cry of terror-
Your face wobbles as you tremble, staring the man in the eyes with clenched teeth. His expression went from firm, steady, to one of pity as your shock turned to sorrow. You open your mouth to speak, but a hiccup, followed by a choked sob rips from your throat. He pulls you close, Mimi still holding you with all her might, nuzzling you as he calms you down in his own way. He seems somewhat unsure of what to do, but he tries.
"There, there... I'm sorry this happened."
You cry uncontrollably into his shoulder as he rubs your back, Mimi on your side, and Cap's Pokéball in your hand, pressed into Jacq's back-
"W-wait-"
Jacq allows you to sit up, pulling his Pokéball closer to you.
"I-I gotta see if he's really there-!"
Before he can even respond, you open the Pokéball to release Capsakid. And he does indeed emerge, a blank expression on his face as he sits there, slightly hunched over. Mimi squeals in delight as she lets go, running over, scooping the Pokémon up and twirling him around in the air, lowering him to give him a few aggressive beak nuzzles before spinning some more, now holding him out in front of her.
"...Kid?"
The Capsakid turns to you as Mimi continues her celebration. Relief washes over you, and you cry some more, a wobbly smile on your face. Jacq, who is now behind you, pulls you closer to keep you from lying on the ground.
"...he should go to a Pokécenter. Then we should head inside. You definitely need a minute," he softly says as he perches his chin on your shoulder to observe the scene as well.
You can barely sit up from how much adrenaline just entered and exited your body, so you don't fight it.
"R-right."
_\V/_
He somehow managed to lead you all inside, him supporting you as Mimi carried Cap, holding him close and cooing at him the whole way, although he didn't respond. Jacq was off that day, so he lead you up to your dorm, reassuring Tyme and Hassel along the way that nothing inappropriate happened. He makes sure to keep your door slightly open to quell any suspicions of misconduct.
Hauling you onto your bed, he lets out a small sigh.
"Okay... now you REALLY need to relax, and I mean it this time." He mumbles the next part to himself, looking off the to side, but you can just barely make out "Maybe even get signed up for some counseling..."
You're exhausted, on the brink of collapse. Mimi is already curled up, acting as a pillow for Cap at the foot of the bed, protecting him from the world as he nods off to sleep. You feel the need to say something, but you can't, draping your arm over your eyes, mouth forming the start of words that are never spoken, as they were never there to begin with.
He grunts.
"Look. You need to put a long pause on training, otherwise you'll get even more burnt-out."
"...burnt... out?"
He crouches next to your bed, tilting his head a bit.
"Yeah, you're pushing yourself beyond your limits. Working off all that passion of yours at once may have left you exhausted, which includes mentally. Remember, patience is key, even on your end."
"But I-" you take a moment to swallow. "I'm not even the one fighting..."
"True," he nods. "But that doesn't mean you aren't putting your all in as well, it's just in another department. They're good at fighting, and you're good at being a leader."
You let out a stream of air, signaling that you don't believe him.
"Me? A good leader?"
He lets out a soft chuckle.
"Well, yeah. Some people have the power, but refuse to further understand those they lead. You're so... patient... understanding Cap was your driving force in even coming here! You're doing great already, even if you don't feel like it."
Something felt personal there, especially how his tone softened as he said the word 'patient'.
You finally turn around to look him, but in a different way than before. You look at the man, Jacq, not the teacher or living biology textbook. You hazard a glance at his eyes, before almost immediately looking away because you've never really studied his face before and oh my GODS is it terrifying.
They're... gray? How did you never notice that? You assumed they were blue, and a more vivid blue at that, but they were... like, straight-up gray. You want to curl up in a ball and scream for not realizing this and also for looking at him at all an-
"You alright?"
You can't see his face, but you can feel your chest pounding at the memory of it. He's... very pretty. In a way you didn't realize before. Or at least, you didn't take a moment to think about it. Actually, scratch that, you can say big words in your head, it's just you after all. The man is VERY attractive and you literally want to evaporate at the thought. Of course it has to be the one you're personally learning from, too. Why did your brain decide NOW was the best time to let your imagination run wild?
"Uh, yeah! Sorry, just... thinking... a lot."
That's an understatement.
"I see... well, do you need anything?"
Your face scrunches up in confusion.
"Eh, no? I think?"
You honestly can't remember what he even asked at this point. How is Cap the only thing keeping you from unraveling around this man? This is a TERRIBLE time to realize your teacher is ho-
"Oh, you sure? I have to go tend to something, but I can do you a favor before I leave."
Wait. Why was he outside already when he saved you? You sit up before you could even fully process the thought, eyes wide with realization.
"Did- did I... distract you? From something?"
"Uh- well, your situation was far more important, so please don't worry about it. It's just some routine fieldwork."
You groan, placing a hand over your face.
"...sorry I've been- a bit much this semester."
"Uhp!"
He leans over to the side slightly to see your face better.
"Nono, please don't think that way! I really do enjoy, uh, seeing you bond with Cap so well! It's a beautiful process, don't you think?"
You shrug, hand still on your face.
Jacq seems to look behind himself, the slight vibrations pointing toward that, before carefully pulling your hand down.
"Hey now... no worries, really..."
Your shoulders shake a little. You don't know why the tears are coming back, but they are. Eyes squeezed shut, you groan a little bit in defeat. He gives you a gentle back rub.
"Ah... stay here, alright? I might not be back in time to check on you tonight, but I will in the morning. I really don't want you leaving Mesagoza for a while..."
You nod, arm still up before flopping back in bed, tossing and turning a little as you try to get comfortable. He gets up, stretching a little.
"...you have my number, I'll catch Director Clavell up on what happened on my way out. Just focus on getting some R&R today, okay?"
"Mmm... okay."
"Good."
You hear him make his way toward your door.
"I'll have someone lock this for you. See you tomorrow?"
You huff.
"Yeah, tomorrow, at some point..."
He lets out a chuckle before closing the door.
Hopefully he doesn't worry about checking in, because the moment you're alone, you fall into a dreamless slumber.

A/N
Sobbing/j, this Jacq story is gonna be SO long, and we didn't even get to the cute part yet. But don't worry, this part sets it up a little! Hope you like slow burns I guess, oof. The next chapter will be pretty cute, and I'm currently working on the last chapter, which I will make as fluffy as I can. Also, I already posted part 2 to Ao3 as a test yesterday, I don't know how I feel about the mobile version, but the layout is top-notch, so *shrugs*
I like to imagine Pokémon will practice/come up with the idea for a move before getting good and actually consistently using it at certain "levels", which is why Jacq wasn't really worried when Cap started using "Crunch" (he is a tiny terror that needs practice), and also why they can "forget" and remember moves at different times (they have to specialize in using/focus on mastering different moves instead of straight-up forgetting. They can get rusty, too!)
If you feel like I speedran through the "almost falling into the river" part, it's because I did! I feel like the "written in one go" feel kinda suits the mood better than what I had in mind, but then again, I have no idea what my brain was trying to say there in the first place. Fun fact! You were originally going to run into a vendor's cart that was about to run him over (since he's so hard to see) and end up knocking it down, getting hurt in the process of saving him instead of almost falling, but damaging public property was NOT something I wanted to deal with, good intentioned or not, so I changed it
Also, uhhh, I wanted this story to have one drawing for each part, but this one's was accidentally absorbed into Part 3, so have this! I think Jacq is the cursive type (at least while grading papers) just because he's a fairly professional guy. I also imagine his handwriting is looser when writing more than a word or two. Trust me, this is him when he takes his time to write something really neat. He'd be the type to comment on his student's doodles, especially biology related ones (and a powerful Capsakid accidentally catching grass on fire just by existing certainly counts, even as a joke)

Hhhh I'm a bit shy about sharing my writing but I figured I'd post my stardew valley fic because I'm really excited about it :)!!
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Shane/Male Player (Stardew Valley)
Additional Tags: Suicide, Character Death, Suicide Attempt, Grief/Mourning, Magic, Time Travel, Alternate Timelines, Multiple Timelines, Trans Male Farmer, Trans Shane, not that it's important but I just wanted to assert they're trans skhdnsnd, they're both bisexual too!, Addiction, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Medical Procedures, Trans Character, Implied/Referenced Self-Harm, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Therapy
Summary: The new farmer in Pelican Town had found himself falling head over heels for perhaps the quietest, most unassuming single man in the valley - all is going well, but when a tragedy occurred, the farmer quickly came to realise that he would stop at nothing to save the one man who stole his heart. Even if it meant breaking the rules.
_______________
"This is uncharted territory." Rasmodius warned him. "This kind of magic is unstable, and it could result in you getting hurt, or worse. Are you... Absolutely sure that this is what you want?"
The farmer nodded.
"I'm certain. I already told you. I'll do whatever it takes to see him again."
* And lastly, please heed the tags and warnings! There's nothing dark or upsetting in the first two chapters that are up rn, but it will get there! I hope some people find it interesting <3

Sits down Kris kros apple sauce in front of you and raises my hand
Questions! Why isn't Monty in the game? What was the stuff about Gregory that's so concerning? What was the PQ thingy that happened that was so groundbreaking? Please share if you can bestie I would love the context :]
Pulling out a white board like a teacher
"Why isn't Monty in the game?" I! Do not really have an answer! I wish I did but it's kind of,, odd. There's possibility he's not there in the context of this being a RUIN sequel because he's dead. There's the possibility of him just not having any lore relevance that couldn't've been hinted at in the Bonnie level (aka more Monty killed Bonnie evidence). And of course there's the possibility Steel Wool just didn't know what to do with him/ran out of minigame slots and had to side line him. There's not really a solid answer sadly,,
"What was the stuff about Gregory that's so concerning?" Hhhh,,,,, there's a new Candy Cadet story about how a girl wanted to get revenge on a witch and a boy pretended to want to help her, only to lure her into the witches oven so that "the witch would get her meal". It's heavily speculated that the story is about Vanessa and Gregory. The potential storyline of Gregory getting re-Glitchtrapped after Mimic was released and then taking Vanessa down with him because he's not in his right state of mind is really interesting and opens a lot of doors for possible future storylines!!!! The only problem is that the fandom hates Gregory already and will totally use this against him and just label him as "evil" as they've already done a thousand times over,,,, It's an interesting story that has potential, it's just that Gregory defenders are about to have our work cut out for us once again. As always..
"What was the PQ thingy that happened that was so groundbreaking?" PRINCESS QUEST IN VR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OKAY OKAY OKAY SO!!!!!!!!!! Princess Quest 4 was in Help Wanted 2 and there was a secret ending involving it and you got to play the arcade machine in VR in a secluded room- like you got to control it through the arcade machine as if it were real!!! But then!!! One of the areas Princess went in to was THE ROOM WE WERE IN!!!! AND WE TURNED AROUND AND SHE WAS JUST THERE!!!!!! We had to control her and make her hit us with her sword, but instead of killing us the screen just went white for a second before fading back with Princess standing next to the machine, the machine back on the title screen with the text 'Take it'. We can now take the sword from the title screen and we GET TO HOLD THE REAL PRINCESS QUEST SWORD!!!!!!!! AND IF WE LOOK BEHIND THE MACHINE WE CAN SEE THE ACTUAL PQ LEVEL BEHIND IT AND WE CAN GO FIGHT MONSTERS WITH THE SWORD AND PLAY PRINCESS QUEST IN VR X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SOOOOOO COOL AND THE ENDING IS EVEN COOLER BUT OH MY GOD YOU'D JUST HAVE TO WATCH IT- IF YOU GO INTO OUR SERVER I'LL SEND YOU A CLIP OF THE ENDING IT'S SO AWESOME DUDE
Hope this helped! ^^

hhhh i’ve never sent in ideas/thoughts before so i hope it’s okay buT! i was thinking abt kaveh recently and in my head, i feel like he’d cry during sex. i feel like he’d cry not just from overstimulation, but because he’d feel so good. (could work both ways but i pictured this specifically with top(?) kaveh—)
kaveh desperately rutting into alhaitham, gripping at him and pleading with him to let him cum just for that moment of ‘yes, you’re allowed to feel good’ bc hhhhhh. (anyways yeah. new kaveh stuff has me thinking of him with emotional sex pls don’t mind me)
ofc its ok!!
i can picture kaveh crying during sex all the time so yess exactly this, he def cries from feeling good/from pleasure pain/from being overstimmed etc. hes messy and beautiful
being allowed to cum, to feel good and he cums with the sweetest sob-moan of haithams name, completely blissed out and shaking and crying from all the good feelings and sensations--

Hello, friends! Hope you're all doing well. In fact, I'd like to know what you're all up to so I can reconnect with friends again. What things are you watching/playing/doing now? Any new things in life you'd like to discuss?
Below the cut I'll say what I've been up to!
Just got back from my local con today and while I did spend a lot on game collecting + VA stuff, I'm glad I went. Thankfully I got paid Friday (though that means I'll have to wait to get paid again in 2 weeks) and my financial situation isn't dire. It's kinda like when you go to Disneyland and get caught up in the spectacle of things. Oh yeah, an IRL friend from high school helped me with a lot of the VA stuff since she had a VIP pass & could skip long lines. (On that note FUCK F//UNKO SCALPERS FOR HOGGING LINES AND MAKING ME WAIT 2 HOURS FOR ONE VA AAAAAAAAAA)
Thankfully, no insurance adjuster lady to drive me up the wall this past month at work. A few eh client encounters but overall it's been way more pleasant than it was a few months ago. ...Might still need to figure out vacation time just so I can take a longer break (and maybe find a government job if I'm able to find something so I have guaranteed holidays).
That being said, S//aimon's series is starting to see a spike of discourse and one of the servers I'm in keeps talking about it. It's making me feel bad as a result. Thankfully, none of the people in it are starting the discourse, but they tend to go "getaloadofthisguy" a lot. Along with usual self ship discourse that I see on my dash (that again thankfully neither friends nor I directly participate in), it kinda just drains me.
Seasonal anime I'm watching are Detergent (hopefully one of Shitsui's big scenes will happen next week; they took a break this week), Und//ead Mur//der Far//ce, Hel//ck (though I'm admittedly not really paying attention to this one), Happy Marriage, J J K season 2 (i am not ready for this arc AAAAAAAAA), and Z//om 100. When there isn't a seasonal anime for me to watch at work, there's Sai//ki K (I think watching Bla//ck Lag//oon kinda helped make me more bitter at work, but I'm feeling better now that I'm watching Sai//ki). Oh, I might check out OPLA since I hear it's an actual good adaptation. Aaaand F//ionna and C//ake too! God, I went "kindred spriits" with Simon's episode
Currently I'm playing Se//a of St//ars and I really like how it looks & plays so far! (Of course, I loved Chr//ono Trig//ger, so the gameplay feels right at home). I wooould continue Gh//ost Tri//ck, but I'm at a stealth section and like I expected, I'm looking up a lot of the puzzle solutions online instead of figuring it out for myself. Curse you, time limits!!! (And for Bom//b R//ush, I feel like I need to play with music, but I keep forgetting to bring my wired headphones. Bluetooth is for my phone mainly due to personal preference). I also watched the endings for OT2 and AUGH I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!!
Oh, a new manga I found called "Inv//isible Man & his soon to be bride" is cute so far.
someday i will find balam merch. somedaaaay
I might do a separate post showing my current ideas for S/I's/OCs, but hhhh I'm hesitant. Right now I just know for a P3 OC he takes inspiration from "The Stranger"
boy howdy i sure hope bluesky finally makes my account or i can get an invite because i really want tweetor to die. ...though i'd miss posting switch screenshots directly
