#I'd get on it though once my week is less hectic

[maybemoonout]

Hello!! I did a better research about the "My Alex" and Miles words were supposedly "The next song is called ”My Fantasy”… I’d like to dedicate it to my Alex Turner!", unfortunately i couldn't find the video either and i would definitely kill for this footage. I just love the way they express their love for each other by dedicating songs it's so genuine, music is one of the most precious things in their lifes so when they dedicate a song to each other they really want to show there's a true feeling between them, regardless of whether it's friendship or anything else.

About Caroline Miles said that he just making up a girl's name to facilitate the creative process (sure, Miles), but the song is actually about a friend who was going through a hard time. Maybe he made the song about a girl so it wouldn't be so obvious, because it really looks like he just replaces the person's real name with Caroline (??).

I was rewatching that chaotic Martin interview and Alex said something interesting when Martin asked about the EYCTE lyrics "I just can't get the thought of you and him out of my head", Alex answered that a song sometimes isn't about the lyrics or a melody idea for example, but sometimes underneath some of those lines there's a memory or a message that you're disguising with the rest of it, or as you said it can be way more metaphorical than literal most of the time. I remember that they was asked about the girl in the EYCTE album and they also haven't confirmed that it is in fact about a girl they are talking about. So i mean, they have a very similar creative processes in that aspect, maybe Alex isn't talking about politics at all in Golden Trunks even with all the references, i believe it's just a metaphorical scenario to disguise the real thing he's talking about just like he said. Btw this all reminds me of Alex saying "Some of what happens in those situations is disclosed through the veil of song in the record, there's some references", it lives rent free in my head.

About the covers, i love the SOS cover probably the gayest for sure, and they definitely don't seem to care about it even with all the pressure from the industry as well. And you're totally right, people actually need to stop labeling other people like that it's fucked up

Thank you once again for the answers, i still don't know if i'm making any sense in all of this tho. I can't wait for the Golden Trunks analysis, i'm pretty sure you'll do an excellent job and i would love to help you with that, friend! \o

PS: Do you think they've been in touch these days, i just saw some people freaking out about Miles story. Dear God i hope so, my fingers are already crossed 🤞

Hi anon! I missed you T_T So glad to see you're back!

I do remember seeing that post, however I was met with a dead end with finding the clip. It seems we faced the same unfortunate predicament. If anyone will EVER get a clip of this iconic moment, I would love to see it! I totally agree with what you said about dedicating songs to someone. They're musicians. Music is their way of expressing emotions, their experiences, and their lives in general. So if a musician, especially world renowned ones like Alex Turner or Miles Kane, dedicate a song to you? You must be incredibly and utterly important.

Yes I remember the Caroline interview, well at least I remember reading a snippet of it. Anyway, it is incredibly sweet of Miles to make a song for a friend. I think the name "Caroline" was probably chosen because the vibes were giving oldies and Caroline was a common name to sing about in a lot of old songs which we know Miles loves. I'm definitely sure he replaced the name of whoever he was singing about, mostly because, most people would prefer some privacy to their problems. I think lots of people replace names if a song is dedicated to someone for privacy and I think that's very important. Still, it's incredibly sweet, Miles is such a nice turtle to make a whole song dedicated to someone going through a rough patch, it kinda feels like a gift now, knowing the back story. Like I said, musicians obvious form of expression is music, so this song feels like Miles' gift truly from the heart to whoever this person is.

I'm glad you took note of what I said about metaphors! I kinda wanted to mention it because Alex' lyrics have always been very out there. Most of the time they mean something else entirely and the words or objects he used are just symbols of things, ESPECIALLY in more recent albums like TBH+C and The Car. Also definitely in ETYCTE, there's lyrics there that are definitely deeper or possibly, shallower, than we think. We will never really know for sure.

Miles is, I think, more upfront in his lyrics, less symbolism and more emotion, while I like to think Alex hides his emotion in the symbolism. Don't get me wrong, Miles still has a lot of references and hidden things in his music, but I also think he's a lot more straightforward with his feelings. That's why I think his relationship with Alex is very good, creative wise. They can make music together that balances out, this beautiful mix of symbolism and pure emotion and everything in between. I can understand however, how it can possibly be difficult to have a relationship with someone who, like Alex, is more recluse. Alex is so good at hiding feelings in symbolism, I have this inkling it might be the same in real life, you can kind of tell too, in his lyrics, how he tends to be the type of person to hide, then proceed to regret doing so.

The references quote, that really hit me because that was one of the first quotes I saw when I joined the fandom (which was pretty recent). I think you can tell that that quote hit me very much because of how I mention the word "veil" or "behind the curtain" in previous answers that I've done.

Hehe SOS Cover also my favorite, and thank you for agreeing with me on the labels point <3

You're making total sense! Really I feel I AM the one who doesn't make sense, please do let me know if I stray to far from the topic. About the Golden Trunks Analysis, I'd love your help <3 Your ideas are quite wonderful and I'd love to see what you have to say as well. Please do give me a message in my chats if you want to have a shared analysis with me :DD. Thank you friend! I'll miss you until your return <3

P.S. I do think they've been in touch! I definitely think they've been in touch maybe around 2021? I heard they've had dinner on multiple occasions, and maybe some other things, but other than that, I think they have yeah! And we all know about Miles, the big tease he is, if he was interacting with Alex again, he'd probably only reveal little snippets and break our hearts HAHAHAHAH

#ask #answered #alex turner #miles kane #milex #my post #a song analysis is a big project (for lil' ol me at least) #I'd get on it though once my week is less hectic #but please don't be discouraged to send me more stuff anon #I honestly love them so much they're like little mental breaks for me #I love ur ideas and stuff so PLEASE whenever u think of more that ur comfortable sharing please do share <3

[slayerchick303]

I've been thinking about the characters in QAF and how I relate to each of them. It's part of why the show is so great.

●Brian Kinney- I completely agree with his utter contempt for society's expectations of us. I feel the same about his thoughts on marriage (and somewhat on his opinion regarding romantic relationships), but I'm not judgemental about people who disagree with us like he is. I also hate to appear vulnerable. His relationship with blood relatives and found family is also similar to mine. Not to mention, we're both cynical and stubborn. I'm with early Brian: uncredited guest appearances are the only part I want to play in a kid's life. I don't relate to his Ayn Rand worship at all. That's total garbage.

●Justin Taylor- His age gap start was pretty much my experience, too. Though mine was a 13 year gap, and a much more problematic age range (I was 14 and the guy 27). Fortunately, mine only went on for a weekend as he went back to Italy, and I went home from the camp I was at. Thankfully, I couldn't respond to the 2 letters he sent me, so he stopped writing to me. Justin was simultaneously braver and dumber than I was in regards to that. As a disabled person, I also really relate to Justin's disability journey. I have traumatic brain injury, a degenerative neuromuscular disease, etc, so that part of his story really resonates with me. Also, his being especially studious while simultaneously making some wild recreational choices as a teen (mine were early teen years, though). I don't want marriage, children, stables, or a pool, though.

●Emmett Honeycutt- Emmett is the person I aspire to be. I literally named my dog after him. Emmett is such a good man. He's the ultimate defender and champion of people he loves. He refuses to be anyone other than himself, and he supports others in being true to themselves. I identify with his devotion to his friends and his refusal to tolerate people who harm his or other's well-being. If I were given a large inheritance, I'd do the exact same thing that Emmett did with it. I wish I could be as confident and optimistic as Emmett.

●Michael Novotny- I love Michael with my whole heart. I have similar creative interests to Michael. I used to turn a blind eye to people mistreating me like he does. I spent years bending over backward to defend people who would never do it for me. I don't want kids or to get married, though I do love Ben. Ben is superior to David in every single way. I 100% relate to Michael's "nerdy" interests. At least once a week, Hal and I will geek out about comic books/movies. If it's not with me, then Hal does so with someone else. That's pretty much the only thing Hal and Michael have in common. As an aside, a few months ago, I convinced Hal to get an AI to write a new episode of QAF for us when he has time (which knowing his hectic schedule may never happen). If Hal can get me the scripts for every episode, I'll do it myself.

●Ted Schmidt- As much as I want to be Emmett, and I feel like Michael, I know I'm season 1 Ted. I have zero self-esteem. No, less than zero. I have -1,000 self-esteem. My interests and professional ambitions couldn't be further from Ted's, though I do love opera.

●Melanie Marcus- I love Melanie. I share her desire for true justice. Her disgust at hypocrisy is mild in comparison to my own. She doesn't suffer fools and loves fiercely. I'm like her in that I'll defend the rights of someone even if they make my blood boil with anger.

●Lindsey Peterson- I relate to Lindsey's artistic nature and her devotion to lifting up the community. Lindsey also hoping time and time again that she'll be treated well despite all evidence and experience showing her that'll never happen was absolutely me, once upon a time. Thankfully, I've mostly gotten over that. The whole maternal thing I could not relate to less. I have zero desire to have children. Children are fine in small doses, then they can be given back to their parents.

●Debbie Novotny- Everyone deserves a parent like Debbie. I'm like her in that I can be... course and sometimes crass. I enjoy slapping a loved one upside the head to show affection. If you hurt someone I love, I will destroy you. My mouth occasionally gets me in trouble. I'll say, "I told you so to someone's face." I don't know how she has the energy to do everything she does though. She's a true hero and mom to everyone in the community.

I'd love to see how all of you feel, too. How do you relate to each of these characters? Are there other QAF characters that you think should be on this list? Are there any people you can't relate to at all?

Dalmatians fic (text version)

Because We're Brothers

a 101 Dalmatians (Disney) fanfic

by UltraGlitterCat

It had been an incredibly busy day for the famous 101 Dalmatians. After foiling Cruella's last plot, Patch had gotten more attention than he'd had in weeks. People took photo after photo of them while his siblings had all crowded around him and Thunderbolt, begging to hear his story again and again. It was nice, but frankly, a little exhausting and Patch was grateful when Pongo suggested it was time they all go home and go to bed.

"Better do what your father says and don't stay up too late, Patch. Even wonder dogs need their rest." Thunderbolt winked and did his trademark bark before leaving along with his camera crew.

"Goodbye Thunderbolt! And thank you, thank you so much!" Patch called after him.

The ride home was pleasant and far less hectic than the trolley ride with all the pups finally yawning and starting to settle down. Once home, they tromped obediently in a line behind Pongo and Perdita until only Patch and Lucky were left.

"Patch?" Lucky seemed anxious.

"What is it, Lucky?" Patch asked.

"I shouldn't have made fun of your bark earlier. I just-- I was cross you kept spoiling the program." Lucky explained.

"I didn't think I was spoiling it. I just get so excited when I see The Thunderbolt Adventure Hour!" Patch's tail wagged at the memory of television.

"I know, and now I'm really glad you know the program so well or you wouldn't have saved us! You were amazing!" Lucky said. But he still looked as though something was troubling him. "I guess what I wanted to say was, sorry for being such a bad brother."

"You're not a bad brother." Patch told him. "You tried to cheer me up when we were in the warehouse, remember? And you're the only one who's even said sorry."

"Really? Well, maybe the others are sorry, too." Lucky suggested.

"Maybe..." Patch doubted it.

"They'll come round." Lucky tried to sound convincing. "Anyway, I have a favor to ask."

"Go on." Patch was listening.

"I'm really sleepy, but I keep thinking about that devil woman and how much she scared me! I thought maybe if I was with someone bigger and braver than me..." Lucky faltered, afraid that it was too big a favor after all.

But Patch was completely understanding. "Of course! What kind of wonder dog would I be, if I didn't look after my baby brother?" Patch smiled. "Come on, let's head in before Dad starts looking for us. He's bound to have noticed the count's off again by now."

Right on cue, Pongo began barking. "We're only at 97! Patch, Lucky, where are you boys?" he called out.

Lucky laughed. "Right again, Patch! ...You sure you haven't been watching Dad on television?" he joked.

"Oh yes, The Cranky Dad Hour. The only program where you get grounded if you don't watch it." Patch replied, joking back.

"Boys!" Pongo appeared in front of them, looking stern. "You know to line up when called! We don't want a repeat of what hap-- I mean, I was worried about you." Pongo corrected himself. He nuzzled Lucky first, then Patch. "You alright, son?" he whispered.

"Of course I'm alright." Patch answered. "I'm with my family."

"Yes, yes you are." Pongo relaxed, glad that whatever had just transpired between his sons seemed to have done some good. Patch was walking prouder than ever, and Lucky was right beside him, eager to show his big brother the best sleeping spot in their plantation home.

The End

I know people have mixed feelings on the DTV Disney movies but I thought Patch's London Adventure was pretty good. The only thing I would have changed is that I'd have given Lucky his traditional black ears. I almost didn't recognize him! Anyway I think he and Patch have the best friendship of the 15 (or 99) puppies. They're both so cute!

[flexistentialism]

195.5

The plan is to lose 21 lb. from Feb 1 to May 1, that's 90 days, so 0.23/day, 1.63/week. Obviously straight lining losing over a pound-and-a-half per week for nearly 8 weeks is asking a lot, but a few 2+ lb. loss weeks toward the beginning could make this a reality.

Diet

Going to focus on the 2 principles that work best for me, No ABC and 16/8.

16/8 = intermittent fasting, eat daily in 8 hour window, don't eat for 16. Typically, I've done noon to 8p. But since I wake up at 5a these days, I'm going to shoot for 11:30a-7:30p.

I'll still consider this successful if I have about one exception per week to this 8 hours. Mostly likely eating my first meal closer to "brunch time" at 10:30 or 11a, mainly due to youth soccer schedule on the occasional weekend. Or dinner pushing past 7:30p, again mostly likely due to soccer on the occasional hectic weeknight.

No ABC = no alcohol, bread or carbs.

I'd love to say I won't have another drink until I get below 175, but I don't know if I want to commit to that. But I've been drinking a lot less on account of 1) my wife stopping drinking for about a year-and-a-half now plus 2) my recently paused half marathon training. I haven't had a drink for 10 days now, only 2 in the last 2 weeks, only 10 in the last 30 days.

Maybe I'll allow an exception for my birthday or a handful of other occasions I can't think of at the moment. But really, if I'm trying to lose weight, I'd like to avoid drinking for these next 90 days.

Admittedly, the A and B are redundant to the C, but I heard “No ABC” years ago and it had a nice ring to it, so I keep saying it. As far as other acceptable exceptions to bread and carbs, I'd say 1) family dinners every so often where I want to be a supportive husband and father and not the guy who's eating salad greens and missing the community feeling of taco night, 2) busy youth soccer weekends where sandwiches at the fields are the best bet, or 3) dessert with my wife because that's what she loves and her birthday is during the 90 days.

So if I can keep the total exception count to 13 or once per week, that'd be great, 15-20 I could live with. Anything much more than 20, we’ll then that’d just be the norm not an exception, right? And that wouldn’t bode well for losing 21 lb.

Exercise

For now, running.

Let's keep my 100 mile per month streak going, admittedly tougher in Feb, the shortest month, the leap day not even helping this year since Thursday is my off day, and the 1st and 29th being Thursdays, so I will only get my 20 runs, 5 per week, to get to 100.

Run Mon/Tue/Wed/Fri/Sat, "long" run on Sat, but keep that to 6 mi as I don't want to get into strategizing about long run fueling during this weight loss plan. Though on Mar 2 I'll run a 10k race (6.2 mi) because that was the day of my half marathon I already paid for, I could skip it, but I was able to convert to the 10k.

Thursday is my true off day, don't freak out about activity.

For Sunday, let's make the Feb focus to just get to 10k steps, for March let's add a true 60 min cross train workout, a simple hike counts, and commit to trying something more for Apr.

If I'm 175 on May 1, feeling primed to train for another half marathon and/or expand my exercise beyond running, great, these 90 days will have been a massive success.

No worries. Tumblr has its own quirks and moods. Nothing we can do about it.

Sometimes it really is just awkward.

But yeah, we talked on/off (timezones, heh, even though you were sometimes up early/late - always hard to tell xD). And, idk, I thought I had gathered some strength after the trauma and all that crap. Fun times. So I took the gamble. In a way, why am I still messaging like this? But at the same time, idk.

One Piece is one of those mangas I will complete one day. I'm still very behind even though my ship is there since the beginning. 😂 and it's just so engaging! But at the same time I feel like I wouldn't be able to write fic for it. I guess I'm easily scared lol

Oh, I'm still stuck in gratsu. OTP and all that. I get the bunnies but writing sure has gotten super difficult. And then I catch another handful of bunnies before having finished one story and it's a lot of wips. Doesn't help that I'm feeling so bummed about my writing and that RL stuff has been bad. Gotta love a writing crisis. Which, btw, better not go your way. Just time and spoons for you.

Tumblr will always be just one step to the left of fully functioning, and that's how we like it here I suppose.

Sometimes messaging and replying though anon is easier. It a way to be slightly detached and not too invested, while still going out of your comfort zone to talk to the people you want to, especially after everything that happened in that server... At least, that's how it makes sense to me. Should you ever decide to just outright message me, I'd answer the second I saw it, but for now, if this is what you're comfy with, keep doing it!

Also sorry it keeps taking me so long to respond. College is very hectic at the moment. (also this got long oops)

One Piece is super engaging! the latest chapters are absolutely wild, especially the one this week. Holy shit. I have been more anxious writing for One Piece than I was for Fairy Tail, but the fandom is genuinly a much nicer and kinder space so far. I didn't fully realize how awful the FT fandom had treated me until I posted my first OP work... The difference is staggering. And most people I've spoken to have been much less insistant on only focusing on what's "canon." It's been wonderful so far.

That doesn't mean the FT fandom didn't leave such an impact on me that I'm not anxiously awaiting the switch up and rage to be sent my way, but I'm trying to tell myself that it's a set of irrational thoughts.

I still adore Gray/Natsu and I plan to finish some of the WIPs I have for them, as well as Phenomenon eventually, but I think most of the things I make outside of that will be kept to myself and close friends.

I have! so many plot bunnies! I finally came up with the idea to make a discord server where each channel is a plotline, and once I'd reached the limit for how many channels I could have in a category (per fandom) I have to finish something before I can make another one. It keeps me in check while also letting me keep a decently high number of ideas so that I don't get stuck with writers block.

I'm sorry stuff has been hectic in real life, and I hope things start to look up soon. Your writing has always been wonderful in my opinion, but I fully understand being bummed about it too. I can never really look at my own writing without feeling like it's missing something. Every artist is their own worst critic after all, so remember that others don't see what you think is missing, they see only the wonderful things you have created and shared.

Chapter 33

Remnant: week 21

The week was highlighted by Professor Port taking the class to Beacon Cliff. "Headmaster Ozpin want's some of the Grimm cleared out of the Emerald Forest. He says they are becoming a problem in the forest." Professor Port told us. "So today you get the pleasure of taking care of the overabundance of Grimm. Won't that be fun!" Professor Port said.

"It's a lot more fun than listening to your boring stories." I said just loud enough for those near me to hear.

There were a few chuckles and some coughs as if they were trying to cover up their laughter.

Professor Port cleared his throat and went on. "Each of you need to kill two average size Grimm in order to reduce the number of Grimm in the Emerald Forest." He grinned at the students as if he was handing out candy to us. "A giant Grimm is equal to four Grimm. You will be dropped off by airships in groups of two Teams. You can work together or separate into your own Teams. When you have completed your task, you can either head back to the cliff or wait for the air ship to pick you up."

Professor Port called out Teams putting them into pairs. My Team was paired with Team JSMN.

Once all the Teams were paired up. "Well, since we're teamed up with Team JSMN, we should find them before we head out." Jett said to us.

Being the tallest, Willow looked around and spotted Team JSMN and pointed to them. "There they are." She informed us.

"Lead the way." I told her.

Willow headed off in the direction she had been pointing. She waved her arm and called out to them. "Jyll! Over here!" Willow turned to us. "They're coming this way." She told us while still waving, so Team JSMN could find us.

Shortly we were all standing in a group waiting to board an air ship.

An air ship landed, and we headed towards it. As we were boarding the air ship. "We're going it on our own, once we land." Jyll told our Team.

"That's fine with us." Jett replied.

Sunflower walked over to me. "Do you really have a recording studio in your house?" She asked me.

I chuckled. "Yes, I really have a recording studio in my house. As well as a bath house, craft room and a library." I told her.

"WOW! You have a bath house IN your house?! That's wild. I haven't been to a bath house since I left home to come here to Beacon Acadamy. Can I use it? I'd love to go to a bath house again." Sunflower said excitedly.

"The bath house is there for anyone to use that wants to use it. So, you're quite welcome to use it when you visit this weekend." I informed her.

"That's great! It's going to be like being back home." Sunflower replied as if she were going on a holiday trip.

Over the intercom. "Teams JWCE and JSMN. This is your drop point." Looking out we could see that the air ship had stopped moving.

Crystal looked out the door of the air ship. "And they mean 'drop point' literally." she said and giggled.

"Let's go Team JWCE." I told my Team and looked to see if they were ready to jump out of the air ship. I looked over to Team JSMN. "See you on the ground." And I stepped out of the air ship

Willow, Jett and Crystal followed me out of the air ship. We were at least three hundred feet up in the air when we stepped out in mid-air. Even though I could fly, I used my Semblance to alter gravity and slow my decent to the ground. With my Team following right after me, they were above me. They were able to use the gravity well that I had created and was using.

"Using your Semblance is cheating!" Mousa yelled laughing as she dropped down, about fifty feet in front of us. The rest of her Team dropped down right behind her. Team JSMN dropped like a lead balloon while my Team descended as if we were on an elevator. It took us longer to reach the ground than Team JSMN, but our landing was less… hectic.

Once on the ground Jyll called out to us. "We're heading this way." She said pointing off to her right. "And we're going to circle back to the cliff." She informed us.

"Then we'll head that way." Jett replied pointing to the left. "Keep in touch." She finished as Team JSMN started walking in the direction Jyll had indicated.

Sunflower looked over her shoulder. "Will do." She said, waved then turned back around.

Jett led us in the direction she had pointed. I don't believe she had a real path for us to take, just a general direction.

I believe Professor Port wanted us to work in larger groups for times when we may need to work in groups of six or larger. And it would have been interesting to fight on a team of eight, but I wasn't going to argue with Jyll about it.

After walking for ten minutes without seeing any Grimm. I started calling out. "Here beasty, beasty, beasty come and eat me. Opps! I lost my shield… Here beasty, beasty, beasty come and eat me. Opps! I lost my sword…"

Willow interrupted me. "What are you doing?" She asked.

I chuckled. "It's an old DnD thing. If your character can't find a monster to fight you start calling that out. It works unless your lawful good. If your Lawful Good, then you have to drop all the things you are saying you dropped." I explained.

Willow started laughing. "You're using a Role-Playing Game strategy to find Grimm?"

"Yes and no. It's more of a joke then a strategy and I'm doing it mainly for fun. But by making noise it might attract Grimm." I said.

"You don't think we'll run into any Grimm?" Crystal asked.

It's not really that. With as many Grimm that are in this forest we'll run into Grimm sooner or later. But, we're not likely to bring Grimm to us because of fear, anger or despair, because of our abilities. Thus, we will have to bring Grimm to us by other means, and right now, the means to attract Grimm, is making noise." I told her.

"Our abilities doesn't stop us from getting angry or feeling despair." Willow said.

"True, true. Although, y'all's lives are at a point where there is little reason for you to be angry about anything. Y'all are intelligent enough that your homework is fairly easy, so there's no anger or despair. Y'all's lives are, if not great they are at least good enough that you're happy. Again, no cause for anger or despair." I told them.

"I'm more than happy where I'm living and what I'm doing." Jett said.

"I'm having a wonderful life living with you and all the girls. Working at Tel Aviv Hold and learning to be a Huntress here at Beacon Acadamy. It's great to be able to travel between the different universes and see different planets." Willow added.

"And because of that, we're not going to attract Grimm." I said grinning. "So, we have to find a different way to attract them."

"That makes since." Crystal replied. "Here beasty, beasty, beasty, come and eat me."

"Oops! I dropped my shield." Willow said.

"Here beasty, beasty, beasty, come and eat me." Jett Started.

"Oops! I dropped my sword." Crystal finished.

"Here beasty, beasty, beasty, come and eat me. Oops! I dropped my armor." I said.

We all started laughing.

Willow stopped laughing. "We have company!" She warned us. Her 'Third Eye' or Danger sense, letting her know there was danger close by.

"GGRRRAAHHRR." Came from behind some nearby bushes.

Another "RRHHRR." Was heard off to the side.

"Whoa! Looks like it worked." Willow said.

Several Ursa pushed their way through the bushes. There were a total of six Ursa facing us.

"Willow, Cristal and I will take the closest three. Eilwyn hold the back three at bay." Jett gave us our instructions.

This would be easy for me. I increased the gravity under the three Ursa in the back to the point they could not move.

Each girl already had their weapon in their hands. Jett ran towards the middle Ursa. The ursa swung a paw at her. Jett dove to the right and rolled, coming up on her feet to the ursa's side. She charged her Kusari-Gama with electricity, using her weapon's electrical rune then swung her right Kusari-Gama at the ursa. The Kusari-Gama's blade sunk all eighteen inches into the ursa and released the electrical charge into the ursa, sending electrical arcs over its body. The ursa fell away from Jett as she pulled her Kusari-Gama from the ursa's body. The ursa turned into a cloud of black smoke.

Willow brought her shield in front of herself, then hit the front of the shield with the side of her war hammer, making a clanging, banging sound, to attract her Ursa.

The noise seemed to irritate the ursa. "RRRAAARRR!" The closest ursa to Willow roared and charged at her. Willow raised her war hammer up, but in front of the ursa a wall of stone rose out of the ground. The charging Ursa slammed into the stone wall, not having time to stop. Lowering her war hammer the stone wall sunk back into the ground. Willow ran up to the prone Ursa and slammed her war hammer onto the bone plate on its head. Killing her Ursa. It turned into a cloud of smoke and drifted away.

Crystal extended all four of her extra arms. Her Ursa took a swipe at one of her front arms and knocked it out from under her. Since Crystal had been standing on all four arms it didn't knock her over. Crystal created a thin jet of water, using it to cut through the ursa's neck. Cutting its head off. Crystal's ursa fell into a heap right before it evaporated into a cloud of black smoke.

With the last of the first three Ursa dead, Willow called out. "Release the krakens!" And giggled.

I looked at Jett and she nodded her head in agreement. I released the gravity on the last three Ursa so they could move again, and I backed out of the way.

"Same as last three." Jett said.

"On it." Crystal replied.

"Easy peasy." Willow said, and advanced on the closest Ursa to her.

Crystal reached up with her top two arms, grabbing two different trees, pulling herself fifteen feet off the ground. She looked like a giant spider. At the same time, she reached down with her two bottom arms. Wrapping the arms in opposite directions around her ursa's neck several times. The next moment Crystal retracted both bottom arms at the same time. Using them like saw blades, cutting the ursa's head off. As the ursa's body hit the ground it was turning into a cloud of black smoke.

"Remind me to not piss you off, Crystal." I told her.

Crystal looked down at me and grinned evilly, right before she dropped to the ground.

"I haven't thought of using the arms that way." I told her.

Crystal blushed. "I just thought of it and thought I'd give it a try. I thought I would use the Ursa's own weight against it." She told me.

"It worked. Well done. You came at it from a different angle. Both literally and figuratively." I told her smiling at her.

Jett created ice under the Ursa in front of her. Her Ursa fell when it tried to take a step on the ice. Jett then struck the Ursa with both of her Kusari-Gamas killing the Ursa.

Willow's Ursa charged at her. Willow took a fighting stance with her shield held in front of herself, and her war hammer held back ready to swing. She brought her war hammer forward and down to strike the Ursa. Willow had decided to use extended range, so as the war hammer came down there was a shimmering image of the head of the war hammer ten feet in front of Willow following along with the head of the war hammer. The shimmering image hit the Ursa and knocked it to the ground. Willow jumped, coming down bringing her war hammer down again and striking the Ursa a second time, killing it.

Willow watched as the Ursa turned into a cloud of black smoke and drifted away.

"That's it. Y'all have your quota of Grimm while I have 'none'. I'm odd man out." I said jokingly.

"You're always the odd man out, on this Team." Willow said. Willow had obviously been around me too long, she was picking up my since of humor.

I stuck my tongue out at her.

"We will find you some Grimm to kill." Crystal offered, with a smirk on her face.

"How kind of you." I replied sarcastically, grinning.

Crystal giggled.

We started walking again towards the cliff.

After a half hour, Crystal was true to her word. They found a Grimm for me. It was a Giant Death Stalker.

"There you go." Crystal said pointing to the Giant Death Stalker. "There's your Grimm. It's even big enough to count as four Grimm." She said grinning.

"OH, how kind of you!" I said fairly loudly and sarcastically. Probably loud enough for the Giant Death Stalker to be able to hear me, which was my intention.

"What's wrong? Don't you think you can kill it?" Willow asked with a small grin on her face.

"That's right y'all got to fight," I held my hand up with my index finger and thumb almost touching. "Itsy bitsy Ursa, and you give me this, HUGE," I spread my arms out wide. "Death Stalker!"

Most anyone watching us, would think we were arguing, when we were just playing around. The girls and I were teasing each other.

"Well, if you can't take the Death Stalker all by yourself. Us little girls can help you with the Big, Bad, Death Stalker." Jett said teasingly in a baby voice.

The Death Stalker had turned in our direction and started walking towards us while we were talking. Attracted by the sound of our voices.

"Ha… ha… ha." I fake laughed. "Since it will make you feel like you're actually, doing something. Keep it distracted." I said as I jumped into the air and drew my weapon.

Willow, Jett and Crystal looked at each other then turned to the Giant Death Stalker.

Jett created and shot ice shards at the Death Stalker. It backed up and shook like a horse shaking off a biting fly.

Willow drew shadow tentacle out of the ground to entangle the Death Stalker. The Death Stalker came to an abrupt holt, the shadow tentacles stopping it in its tracks.

Crystal hit it with a bold of electricity stunning the Death Stalker for a few moments.

While all of this was going on, I came down throwing my Naginata. As it left my hand, I made duplicates of it, so there were thirty-one Naginatas flying towards the Death Stalker. I recalled my weapon to me just before the duplicates hit their target. The Death Stalker screamed in pain as the thirty duplicate Naginatas impacted it. As I reached striking range, I thrust my Naginata into the Death Stalker between its eyes. The Death Stalker dropped to the ground then turned into a cloud of black smoke, as I landed beside where the Death Stalker had been.

"See… You couldn't have done it without our help." Willow said, giggling.

I turned to Willow and wiggled my head from side to side and said. "Ha, ha, ha."

Crystal and Jett broke out laughing.

Once Jett had her laughing under control. "The Giant Death Stalker counts as four Grimm. That gives us ten kills, which means we can head back to the cliff." And with that said, we headed back to Beacon Cliff.

Team RWBY beat us back to the cliff, but then, they had been dropped off closer to the cliff than we had been.

"Hey Blake, how'd your hunt go?" Willow asked.

"We did good. We ran into a pack of Baowolves and were able to get our kills all at one time." Blake replied. "How about your Team?"

"Crystal, Jett and I made our kills with a pack of six Ursa. Then we helped Eilwyn take down a Giant Death Stalker. So, we got two extra kills." Willow told her.

Blake looked impressed. But I had to speak up and tell the whole story. "I held off three of the Ursa while they took out the first three." I glared at Willow. "And with the Giant Death Stalker, I had the girls distract it while I went in for the kill." I started. "While 'some' try to make it look like I needed help to take out my Grimm." I finished and stuck my tongue out at Willow.

Blake laughed. She had been around me and my Team enough to know how we tease each other. "You four work so well together. I'm sure you each had an equal part in making your kills." Blake told us.

Willow looked like she was a little reluctant to admit the truth, but she gave in. "Ya, Eilwyn did as much as the rest of us. Maybe a little more than the rest of us." She said sheepishly.

"A good leader makes sure each member of their Team does their fair share." Ruby said grinning as she walked up to us.

"And Jett is a good leader." I said.

"Yes, Jett's a good leader." Willow agreed.

Weiss and Yang walked up. "Team JWCE took out a Giant Death Stalker." Blake told her Team.

Ruby's eyes grew big and round. "You did?! I hate those things."

"If I remember correctly, you like riding Nevermores." I responded.

Weiss had walked up as I talked to Ruby and Blake. "Don't remind me. That was awful, and you" She pointed at Ruby. "Left me up there all alone."

"I told you, to jump." Ruby replied.

Weiss shook her head, turned around and walked off.

"She should have made a slide with her glyphs and just slid to the ground." I suggested. "But then we were all nervous that day."

Hellooo!! I love love LOVE the diamond box matchup you did!! You're amazing!! Your blog is incredible!! Now I'm here for a romantic haven box Haikyuu matchup pls🥺

Appearance: My name is Kay! She/her, black, straight, 5'1, I have a slightly athletic & curvy-ish figure (lol idk), short-ish hair(like mid-neck), dark brown eyes, shoe size 9, I like to dress comfy so I'm always in oversized hoodies, sweatpants, sneakers, sweatshirts and shorts. I like colorful clothes too, high waisted jeans and shorts and boots. I'm not very fashionable but I try lol.

Personality:

Basics: infp-t, Hufflepuff, Taurus sun, scorpio moon, sanguine, chaotic good, ambivert.

Some positive traits: I'm optimistic, friendly, energetic, organized, enthusiastic, observant, happy, open-minded, loving, encouraging and inquisitive!!

Some negative traits: I'm annoying, perfectionist, insecure, forgetful, easily distracted, kinda lazy, argumentative, too nice at times and clingy.

I love learning new things!! Currently I'm learning Korean, how to draw, how to paint and songs on the saxophone.

When I'm up for it, I love fun physical activity!! Going for a hike, going to the gym, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, going camping and etc :D

Although I love going out, nothing beats lazy days at home. I can spend hours by myself and still be happy. When alone I usually sleep or watch a movie/anime or practice my drawing or saxophone or try and learn something new!

I have a horrible memory and can never remember important dates 😭 I've forgotten my own birthday a few times (rip) so people can get mad at me for missing appointments, forgetting birthdays and other important days. I try my best to organize everything necessary on my phone calendar so I can be reminded.

I love seeing people happy! Nothing can fulfill my day more than knowing I put a smile on someone's face! I usually try my best to help out anyone who needs it and to the best of my ability! This has led to me getting taken advantage of in the past but I can't help but try and make others happy. I've developed a thicker skin and some trust issues as I've grown up because of it.

I love hyping my friends/family up!! Do you need a boost in confidence? Here I am, ready to help you remember the absolute king/queen/royalty that you are!! I'm usually very energetic and enthusiastic about many things and I love spreading positivity around!!

My love language is physical touch! So touch is very important to me in my relationships. Though I am insecure so I tend to think that I smother the people I care about with too much affection idk lol. I live for hugs and cuddles and hand holding 👉🏿👈🏿 but because of that I feel like I'm very clingy and annoying skskfksjd

I'm introverted in nature so although I mean usually full of energy and love making new friends, I can't do it for too long lol. My social battery runs out really fast and I have to hide away and recharge before I can be fully social again, otherwise I won't be my best self. I treasure personal time and understand when people need time for themselves too.

I love spontaneity!! I love living in the moment and doing stuff just for the hell of it!! Wanna go on a road trip? Dance in the rain? Build houses for charity? Go to McDonald's at 2am? Go on a long walk? SIGN ME UP!!

I can also be lazy and unmotivated to do stuff. If something doesn't interest me, I'd find myself incapable of doing it or I'd do it with great difficulty. I'm one of those 'do something when inspiration/motivation hits you otherwise it'll be absolute shit' types.

But when I do have motivation/inspiration that's when my perfectionism comes in and I have to do it in the best possible way and anything less is an insult to me, my family, my ancestors and descendants lmaoo. Unfortunately I subconsciously set a very high bar for myself which can be overwhelming and stressful but when I manage to produce work of that quality, it's very satisfying and rewarding jshkshdhsj

I have more to add but I feel like this is getting way too long 💀 lemme just move to the next section heheheh

Hobbies: I LOVE listening to music, learning new things, watching movies/anime, sleeping, reading, writing, playing saxophone (I'm still learning tho lol), swimming, drawing, journaling, making friends, and cooking!

My music taste: any type of rock (punk rock, grunge, j-rock, metal), pop, KPOP, RnB, jazz, dubstep, lofi hip hop, rap, trap, krnb, anime OP's and bangers from: Elvis, the beach boys, Queen, Khalid, Ateez, Harry styles, Kendrick Lamar, p!atd, mcr, fallout boy, Nirvana, BTS, mxmtoon, Marianas trench, twenty one pilots, stray kids, Jay Park, crush, Dreamcatcher, Skrillex, MJ, troye sivan etc

Fun facts:

I'm more of a cat person but I live dogs and think they're adorable!!

I have four piercings and I plan on getting more soon!!

I'm a night owl, and get super grumpy in the mornings especially when woken up unexpectedly >:/

Although I love making friends, I only have like 1/2 super close friends and like 20+ acquaintances lol

I want to get a tattoo soon but idk what to get :(

I'm super addicted to coffee (rip) and if I don't take some for some time (like a week) I'll get the worst migraines and I won't feel better until I drink some coffee 😭

That's it!! I hope i wrote enough stuff!! Did I leave anything out? If you need more pls tell me and I'll send another ask :D Take your time!! I'm in no rush. I'll patiently wait even though you get writers block or have a large amount of asks 😌 pls stay safe and healthy!! Drink lots of water, sleep well and have an amazing day/night!! 💙✨

- You both would often plan pranks and majority of the times, it would succeed

"Okay okay, so what are we doing today?" Kay asked the silver haired male. "Oh~ maybe we can scare Asahi or anyone for that matter with a beetle?" Sugawara suggested. "That's--no," Kay responded.

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

3 am shenanigans

It’s 3 am in the morning. Almost everyone is fast asleep or in their homes, well almost. The night sky is littered with diamond in the sky. The streets were silent but it was comforting. A few people walked here and there. And a few cars passes by there and here. “What are we doing up so late?” A silver haired man said as he yawned. “We’ll be going to Mc Donald’s! What else?” The female responded as she smiled at him. “Is it even open at this time?” He asked. “Koushi, darling, it is open,” Kay, the lover of our beloved silvered male man said as she smiled. Sugawara chuckled and held her hand, the smile on his face was evident. “You know, we should be sleeping by now right?” He said as he pulled her closer. “And so what? I wasn’t planning on sleeping early! I slept the whole day yesterday and missed the chance to hang out with you,” The girl responded.

A small blush appeared on the male’s face and he giggled. “That’s very sweet bu-“ He was about to say but was silenced by the girl. “That was very sweet but we could’ve done this later on or tomorrow. Well, sorry to break it to you, Love. But, we are here,” She said as she pulled the male inside the fast food chain. And soon enough, the two got their orders and enjoyed their meal. “I don’t know why but this hits different,” Kay said as she eat a French fry. “It really does. Especially since you are here,” Sugawara stated as he patted her head. Now, she was the one blushing. As the two chatted, the other customers and staff glanced at them every now and then. None of them were annoyed at their interactions. On the contrary, they enjoyed watching them,

Some felt envious of their relationship. Some dreamt to have something like that. And others remembered the times of old. The two were so sweet, it’s almost too much. Laughter and chattering echoed through the building from both the couple and the people around them. Then they were dub the “3 am couple” as the two would often venture in that restaurant at 3 am in the morning.

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

The life of Elara Ware - chapter 3

So, funny story. I accidentally shut myself out of this account when I forgot my damn password. Then there was this pandemic and being technically a key worker, that was stress. Then I just started writing other stuff. So yeah, I kinda left this behind, which was a shame because I had a lot planned for it. But anyway here's chapter 3 as I wrote it ages ago and who knows, maybe I'll keep going. FYI I could not be bothered to go back and check it so theres almost definitely a spelling mistake or some grammatical errors. Sorry about it.

The next few days at The Burrow passed far too quickly for Elaras liking. It could be hectic at times with so many of them in one house. A fact Mrs Weasley continuously apologised for. But Elara, so used to being alone, loved the business of life at the Weasleys. She had missed George more than she thought she could. They relished in the time they spent together and, when they were sure no one was around to see, stole as many kisses as they could. With so many of them in the house though the later was practically impossible and more than once their embrace had been broken up my someone walking suddenly into the room. Ron couldn't look Elara in the eye for days after he walked in to find a particularly passionate scene. In fairness it was actually his room.

The fullness of the house had at least meant that they could stage 4 a side quidditch matches in the garden with the Weasleys and Harry. Hermione preferred to watch. When they weren't doing that Elara found she enjoyed chatting with Ginny, who to Elaras great surprise was not as girly or shy as she thought she was. Or talking with the eldest 2 Weasley boys; neither of whom she'd met before and had a number of interesting tales about the twins growing up. Then there was Harry, Ron and Hermione. They were a bit of an unlikely trio and Elara was convinced Ron fancied Hermione, but nether the less they were obviously good friends and Elara enjoyed spending time with them. Especially Harry. She'd always really liked Harry Potter, he didn't want the pitty the world gave him, he just wanted a normal life. Elara found she really respected that. The only person in the house Elara found she clashed with was Percy. Though she got the impression that it wasn't just her he had that affect on. For lack of a better word, Percy was a bit of a snob. Thankfully she rarely saw him as he spent most days at work and often chose to stay late most nights.

It was the last day of the holidays and they were all sat in the living room except for Mr Weasley who still wasn't back from work. Elara had parked herself on the furthest seat from her boyfriend and his twin. There was 2 reasons for this. First it meant she didnt have to resist the temptation of his soft lips whilst everyone was here to see. Secondly it made it far easier to feign ignorance to what the pair were currently doing. As they sat huddled together, talking in hushed whispers. She wasnt entirely sure what they were up to but it was almost certainly to do with Weasleys Wizard Wheezes, something Mrs Weasley highly disapproved of. As she sat alone she found her mind wondering and without meaning to found herself going over the dream she'd had the night before. She couldn't explain why but it had been bothering her all day. It wasn't a scary dream or in anyway disturbing. But Elara found herself shaken up by it none the less. Especially as she was almost certain she'd had that exact dream before.

In the dream Elara was walking through the woods at night. The only respite from the dark provided by the moon as its faint light battled through the thick branche above. She's looking for something but what it is or where she should look remains a mystery. Still she keeps going. Undeterred as the trees and undergrowth becomes denser and more wild. Then all of a sudden she sees a shape moving through the shadows. It slides slowly through the trees towards her until it stops in a clearing ahead. Bathing in the moonlight is a great white fox. Larger than any fox had the right to be and more majestic than any she'd seen. Its pure white coat shining brightly as though lighting up from within. Elara feels a pang of familiarity deep in her heart as she looks into its eyes. She doesn't run or scream. She knows she's safe. The white fox is here to help her, like a mother looking out for her cub. Its gaze is mesmerising and Elara could read the message in its eyes. 'follow me. I'll show you where it is'

"hey! daydreamer! wake up!" Elara was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts to find the whole room staring at her. She shakes herself mentally, uncomfortable by the sudden attention on her.

"sorry" she said trying to laugh it off dismissively "miles away"

"whatcha thin huh in abou?" asked Ron mid yawn. Elara sighed

"that out of all Georges siblings I like you the least" she said dryly

"really?"

"no" she says with a smile, earning a few laughs. Ron a few seconds behind the others before he got the joke.

Suddenly his face changed

"woah!" he said, staring at Elara in amazement.

"what?" Elara said. she suddenly felt a bit self conscious.

"your eyes are different colours!"

"oh" She giggled breathing a sigh of relief. "you've just noticed? really? how long have I known you?"

Everyone was laughing again

"what. have they always been like that?"

"yes!" everyone else said in chorus.

"Since I was a baby Ron. what did you think I did it deliberately? I got bored one day and coloured one in with a sharpie?"

Ron made a face somewhere between confusion and embarrassment.

"what's a sharpie?" Ah, Elara thought. muggle reference, complete miss.

" Well we all know ickle Ronnie kins is a complete idiot at the best of times. "Said George as he crossed the room and squeezed on the armchair next to Elara before pulling her onto his lap.

"what is a sharpie?" he added to her at a whisper. Elara smiled and shook her head dismissively. The rest of the room going back to their individual conversations.

"muggle stuff" she answered

"Ah. well then whatever you do, dont mention it in front of dad. he'll get all excited and interrogate you again." George said as he started rubbing small circles onto her hip with his thumb. Elara couldn't help but smile at the gesture.

"oh stop it hes not that bad. " She said rolling her eyes.

"yes he is, remember when you mentioned the cinema?" Elara laughed. She did remember that. It had taken her the best part of an hour to explain the concept to Mr Weasley.

"Anyway. Don't be so mean to your brother, as I recall it took you months to bloody notice." George looked blank for a moment.

"notice what?" he asked

"my eyes!"

"oh" he remarked, realisation dawning.

"it wasnt months was it? maybe a few weeks" Elara was giggling now, enjoying the slight embarrassment creeping into George's cheeks.

"nope definitely months. it was around Christmas time. remember? you thought I'd done it with magic to be all christmassy. Though how that's a christmassy thing to do I dont know."

"oh. yeah. well... that's only cause I'm not a weird person who stares at pretty girls eyes" George said, mockingly batting his eyelids at her. Elara grinned fondly at him, then leaned forward and left a light peck on his lips.

"Yeah you are."

"a couple of months is good for him" Fred said " George didn't realise we were identical until we were 7" Elara started slightly having not realised Fred had come over. He was sat on the floor next Charlie looking amused.

"in fairness that's not so obvious as I have always been way better looking than you." George retorted quickly.

Both twins sniggered and Elara noted that even their laughter was the same.

"did we mention he's delusional? sure you want him El?" Fred said

"Oh someone sounds jealous to me. Don't worry Fred I'm sure we can find a girl to take pity and go out with you"

Elara could tell this verbal tennis wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

" *cough* testosterone *cough* "

"oh look your fathers coming" Mrs Weasley suddenly announced getting everyones attention. Sure enough the hand on the grand father clock which bore mr Weasleys likeness had moved and now pointed at travelling. Then it moved once more settleing with the other hands on home. At the same time the door opened and Mr Weasleys voice could be heard from the kitchen. Mrs Weasley scuttled out to greet him. With the others distracted by this Elara inexplicably found her mind once again wondering back to her dream and the White Fox. Its magnetic familiar eyes drawing her in.

"you okay?" George said quietly. Wrapping his arms around Elara protectively and pulling her back to the present.

"yeah of course" She said trying to sound as casual as possible. George wasnt convinced. He knew her far too well and having shared it with him that morning knew what she was thinking about.

"It was just a dream you know El. I know it was a bit freaky. But it cant hurt you" he said, squeezing her arm reassuringly. That's just the thing, she thought, it wasn't scary to me. But she smiled at him appreciatively.

"I know"

[dovechim]

After a hectic week I can finally sit down and dedicate the next hour or so to continue my story because I really want to get to the part which I'd like to hear your opinion - and everyone else's - about!! ☆ Long Story Anon

So we kept messaging for the following days, both busy with our respective classes; but before I knew it and I can't say I was surprised, he invited me to do something again less than a week later. We're from a considerably small city, there isn't much to do around here, so we had a hard time coming up with an idea. Well, he suggested to pick me up and we'd go back to his house to eat something, to which I agreed. I was with my friend and we were both jumping around from excitement ☆ 1

Needless to say my friends all loved him; they were happy that after such a long time and with such bad luck in love I finally found what seemed to be the last guy on earth who was worth more than two seconds of my life. I knew going to his house implied something more serious than making out could happen, but honestly I didn't mind if it did. In context, he lived with his little brother and parents; where we're from it's common at our age to still live at home since we've not graduated yet ☆2

But he'd mentioned during the first date that his parents were away for an anniversary holiday and his little brother was staying with the oldest one who lived in his own apartment with his fiance; meaning we had the house for ourselves. As planned he picked me up and took me there, had some food delivered and we watched terrible horror films on netflix. He'd cheesily try to put his arm around me on the couch and I'd move closer, ending up snuggled together with my heart about to burst ☆ 3

At one point both brothers and the fiance show up with some food, for some reason and that's when I knew half his family on the second date lol. But they moved upstairs quite quickly after eating and left us alone to watch the movies. Eventually he'd kiss my cheek, not-so-subtly letting me know he wanted to KISS-kiss me, but me being the nervous little shit I am didn't really know what to do. It'd been two whole years since I even attempted to make out with someone!! ☆ 4

So he had to move even closer and he said, which I'll never forget: "you're so shy", which I wasn't surprised about, it's not common for a 22 year old to be that reserved, I guess, but with a little bit of patience that single moment turned into the best first kiss I've ever had. I was so scared he'd be a terrible kisser, like I'd experienced before bc that's just a deal breaker for me and everything else about him was so perfect; but boy...was I wrong. We ended up making out for so long that ☆5

Our lips hurt, and he didn't even try to go too far, already noticing that I wasn't the kind of girl to tear off our clothes and start fucking (not that I didn't wish I were lol), so he just held me tight and took me home eventually. God, the memory of his kisses will never leave my mind. To this day I still get butterflies because it was the kind of kiss that makes you feel like your bodies fit together and makes your toes curl :') ☆ 6

im so soft for you and him already :”)))) it’s so sweet that he wasn't afraid of scaring you off and still went for it!! a lot of guys i know are hesitant about dating an inexperienced girl bc they’re scared they will scare her off, and once my friend asked me how he should chase after a girl who has never dated. i literally got so pissed lmao i just said “just fucking treat her like a fucking normal person!!! what are you intending to do that might scare her off???” 

We had a third date after that, about a week later. We went out to eat and it was the day he started posting instagram stories with me and tbh I was surprised. In our generation it takes more than just a couple of dates for a guy to 'announce' he's not 'single' anymore. You know, like if he had intention of seeing other girls at the same time he wouldn't be parading me around for everyone to see, which only fed my hopes of him being 'the one' even more ☆ 7

omg yes :/ the dating culture is so complicated lmao like ppl can be going out with different people at the same time and there’s a certain time after which you’re considered exclusive... it’s so tiring tbh

Another week passed and out of the blue he was asking me to meet his parents. He was very lowkey about it; he said he missed me, mentioning they'd returned from NY and asking if we could meet again that night, but "my parents would be there too, is that a problem?" lol. So I said no, obviously, even though I was shitting my pants, I'd never met a boy's parents in that context before but he seemed excited. He picked me up and we drove back to his place where they were waiting for me ☆ 8

I decided I didn't want to read too much into it back then, but still couldn't help but notice that the older borther+fiance had dropped plans to go to dinner with us so 'the whole family would be there to meet me'. Did that mean him bringing a girl home wasn't that common? Was I actually that special? As if I didn't notice myself falling fast and hard for me enough, his whole family welcomed me with huge open arms. His little brother, extroverted as they come at the age of 10 did everything ☆9

To include me in the conversations; the older brother would tell embarrassing stories. The parents, both doctors, both dating since college and pretty much the whole family (fiancee included) were some of the most welcoming people I'd ever met. They treated me like a family member from the very beginning and noticing how nervous I was they would try to make the dinner as easy going as they could. The guy in question, let's call him Jed? Would hold my hand under the table to calm me down ☆ 10

Or rub soothing circles over my the fabric of my jeans to distract me when a family member would embarrass him. I fell in love with his family as fast as I fell in love with him and I just couldn't believe I'd found someone so perfect. We'd make out until our lips were sore and he'd drop me off at home always leaving me with a feeling of sadness that I had to say goodbye. He made me so happy that I started to go out more, meeting my friends I was just in such a good mood because of him ☆ 11

no you must have been so nervous!!!!! i mean i get that he was low key but  still... parents are a big deal. i hope his intentions were rly pure and that he was that into you!! but im glad they were nice :”) 

I'd even dare to say he made me a better person in ways only I can understand. He'd text me what he was doing or who he was with every day, all the time, even if I didn't ask -which I never did. Sure, he wasn't perfect; sometimes he'd forget we had plans. I have a feeling he lied to me a couple of times but about nothing really major; sometimes he'd be in a bad mood and be sarcastic and annoying af but honestly nothing too bad. All in all I had absolutely nothing to complain about him☆ 12

It wasn't until around a month and a half into the 'relationship' that we went out for drinks and then back to his place that he tried to have sex with me (he'd waited to bring it up more than any other guy I'd ever met lol). I didn't directly tell him I was a virgin, he kinda guessed, and he was more than okay with it, even saying 'I'll wait as long as you want to'; and damn I didn't really want to wait that long, it was just that the time was never right! ☆ 13

At this point we'd both had dinner with his parents several times already. They told me in that household they'd set the habit of having dinner together every night, and were more than happy to let me into their little tradition. At more casual nights we'd sit down and watch some film on netflix, the parents and little brother always moving upstairs at the end and leaving us both alone to make out some more lol. I was even invited to his dad's birthday dinner at a fancy ass restaurant ☆ 14

this is so cute 😭 im just very ugh whenever a guy kinda hints at sex bc dude u gotta make me WANT it not just ask for it :/ but it sounds like he was super respectful!! and tbh im just very bad with other ppl’s parents, but his sounds rly perfect  😭 do such ppl even exist??? i cant even remember the last time i ate w my family :/ 

So by the third month I already felt part of that family tbh. I'd cooked alongside the mother like lifelong friends, and sat down for coffee after dinner to talk about how fast technology is moving with his dad. His little brother would tell jokes or ask me to teach him some guitar and I think they began to love me as much and as fast as I loved them, honestly. I was even invited to the dog's birthday part lmfao I was just unable to attend but was kindly provided with video memories ☆ 15

Everything was going so perfect, I think we could've lasted so much longer but maybe just the timing wasn't right. I still remember him dearly though, but back then I had my heart broken so bad that I simply wish I'd never met him. What hurt the most was growing so attached to his family and then out of the blue, and without a single chance to say goodbye I never saw any of them again. I should've known life isn't a movie or a book and nothing that starts so well can end just as happily ☆ 16

WHY ARE YOU USING PAST TENSE?????????? NO!!!!!!!!!!! IM SO SHAKEN RIGHT NOW bc this feels like that part in a book where the author’s just leading u towards that horribly devastating ending and that’s exactly what ur doing  😭

The last night I went to his house - btw we never visited MY house because MY family as much as I love them to death aren't as welcoming as his was with me, so until I knew FOR SURE this guy and I were serious, I decided to suggest activities that required not being at my place lol - the whole evening started weirdly. He'd been taking longer than usual to text me, and it was getting too late so I though we just weren't doing anything but he insisted he wanted to see me ☆ 17

And fuck, I wanted to see him to, once or twice a week just wasn't enough anymore and I missed his touch so badly. So I agreed for him to pick me up, even though he kind of strung me along for a few hours. By the time he picked me up I hadn't eaten, not knowing wth we were going to do but he said he'd had dinner before picking me up. Why would he though? He knew we had plans, which usually involved dinner, why not wait for me for eating? Either way, I'd missed him, I wasn't about to fight ☆ 18

We reached his place and his mom was already going upstairs for sleeping along with the little brother; the father was performing a surgery so we were alone at the living room together. He was a little tense and I didn't understand why, he said he was tired because he'd had class up until late and I asked if he just wanted me to leave but he asked me not to; he wanted to see me, he wanted me to stay. We cuddled on the couch and I had to wake him back up several times, growing annoyed ☆ 19

And when the dad got home he quickly got up and pretended to do something in the kitchen. The man had to eat and we had to wait for him to leave to sit back together, the whole situation was awkward af. I was wondering if I should just call a cab and leave, but he insisted not to. At around 2am (it was a friday) while making out he asked if I wanted to go up to his room, to which I said yes. He knew what that meant, so he was excited about it, going upstairs to check if his room was clear ☆ 20
