⚠️: fluff, comedy, light kissing and him being an absolute sweetheart
Tumblr media Tumblr media
FIREFIGHTER ACE HEADCANONS: PART TWO • SFW EDITION
firefighter!ace is unironically and blissfully unaware of the fact that he’s kind of Twitter/TikTok famous. Somebody happened to get a picture of him and a bunch of other first responders at an event and now he’s known on social media as ‘Firefighter Bae.’ Now he used it to his advantage to post workout vids, safety tips and humor about some of the things they encounter on the job.
firefighter!ace has a special lapel pin he always wears on his uniform or on his persons that he got from his crew mate, who passed in a fire years ago.
firefighter!ace has the HARDEST time letting the pets go from rescues. It can be someone’s dog with a whole name and address on the tag but he’s holding him like it’s his own.
“Are you sure we can’t keep him?” “Ace, give those people their dog so we can go!”
firefighter!ace adoresss kids! He’s always the first pick of the schools for fire safety day because he’s so charismatic and fun that the children just cling to him. Taking them on the fire truck, letting them wear the gear and even playing with them. He was such a natural, you became flustered and began to like him even more.
firefighter!ace gets along with all of your friends/roommates..a little too well in fact! Always going to Robin to snitch on you or Nami to gossip about how temperamental you are! But they adore him so much.
“You know how she is, she won’t listen to anybody.” “Tell me about it, she’s so hardheaded.” “Y’all do know I’m right here, don’t you? I can hear you!”
firefighter!ace owns a motorcycle and is an avid biker. He and his friends race + have their own lil club. He also brought you a matching jacket/helmet to ride with him.
firefighter!ace is suuuper affectionate. His love language is physical touch and always being near his s/o. All but gave up on being discreet when you guys FINALLY started dating and would kiss you on the cheek or grab your waist in front of the whole crew.
“What? I can’t kiss my wife? Assholes.” “You just started dating a month ago, calm down!
firefighter!ace loves when you play with his hair and lets him lay his head in your lap. He finds comfort in it after long days and rough calls. He’s already narcoleptic but he sleeps like a baby when you’re near him. Bonus points if you sing to him, he’s out like a light!
firefighter!ace loves dancing and he’s pretty good at it too.
firefighter!ace wears a matching beaded bracelet or necklace with your name/initials on it all the time. Carries it with him wherever he goes and always kisses it before going into a dangerous situation. And vice versa..to have each other’s strength. Even when you can’t show it.
firefighter!ace is incredibly bashful, despite his appearance, personality and reputation as a playboy. He gets insecure occasionally that you’ll find better.
“I know it’s not much, rookie. But I wanted to get you something. Just to show how proud I was of you..you did amazing on that call today.” “I know you can do better, I’m just happy you’re in my life.” “Oh shut up. As if anyone else could actually handle me. And I guess I’m kinda in love with you.”
firefighter!ace is never hesitant to tell you he loves you because he doesn’t know if it’ll ever be his last time saying it. So he doesn’t shy away from a moment to express his feelings.
firefighter!ace likes to show off during workouts by letting you sit on his back as he does pushups. But he knows you’re no princess and he’ll eventually get challenged by you to see who can do the most. (Of course placing a small wager to sweeten the deal.)
“Seriously, rookie. Here I am trying to be romantic and cool, and you ruin it. Such a goddamned brat.” “You were trying to showboat, you arrogant bastard and look where that got you. Now pay up.”
firefighter!ace LOVESSS watching you do your hair and going to the beauty supply with you. He loves the smell of all the natural oils and even asks you to pick him out some stuff. He doesn’t mind helping twist in a braid or two either. Once he gets the hang of it, this man is in your head like he’s a professional! Doing crochet, locs and all.
“Can you do the blonde braids again? They’re my favorite on you. Plus they look good with the uniform.” “You say that about all of them!”
firefighter!ace truly does love being in your presence. Whether it’s rushing through burning buildings or a chill night in his apartment, surrounded by ambient lighting and faux plants as the two of you cuddle…as long as he’s with you, it’s his happy place.

𝗜'𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻𝘀
This is gonna be bad im just warning you im freaking tired and stressed, they are gonna be Sad and Happy and UNHINGED.
Bradley has a little Rooster figurine in the front of his jeep, he got as a gag joke and was gonna leave it at whatever house he got it at but now has emotional attachment to it.
Jake's go to song in Karaoke when he is sober is Queen, he will belt out We Will Rock you, but when he is drunk enough he will sing Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 with every bit of southern twang he can
When Bob is really angry he will drop his midwest accent and go full on southern, like deep south
Natasha lost a bet in high school and had to get a bad tattoo, said tattoo was something like a duck with a cowboy hat, or stupid quote, you decide
Mickey unironically sings the lyrics to Taylor Swift's Love Story, like he will sing the bridge at the top of his lungs going sixty on the highway.
Rueben is the kind of guy to say he won't rage quit a video game then will toss the controller after failing two time's.
Javy would be the kind of guy who would let a kid paint his nail's, pink purple yellow, he does not care he will flaunt it off it because it makes the kid happy.
Bradley would somehow get a cat or dog, like one of those distribution system's like on tiktok, he would say he would foster it but end up keeping it naming it something human like, Kevin or Betty
Natasha say's she dosent like country music, but wont admit she would get down to some Luke Bryan here and there because who wouldn't
Bob seems like if he was put into a situation where him and his friend's got lost, he would be the calm one but on the inside he is panicking, he will see an exit sign with a restaurant and be like. "Guy's its okay there's burgers."
Javy will pull over when he sees cows and take there picture's. No joke would even try and pet one.
Rueben and Mickey are the worst people when it comes to trivia because they are so good at it, when they get an answer right they increasingly get more competitive.
Jake cried playing RDR2 when Arthur died and he also despised Micah like the rest of us.
Rueben is great at bowling, so good that most of the time no one play's with him
Bob will doodle little drawings on sticky note or notebook's when he is bored and give them to any of the dagger's, He drew Natasha a sketch of bird, she kept it in her locker.
Bradley has a mixtape from his dad, Goose, titled "Song's You Need to Hear Once", it's all filled with songs from the Sixties to the Eighties, all classic's from Rock to Motown, after his mom died he didnt dare to touch it, after the uranium mission he starting listening again.
Natasha has bracelets from her little cousin's that she wear's for good luck, they are bright yellow and purple string's, she never take's them off ever
Jake collects stickers from each state, his dad used to bring him a sticker from each of his trips before he got too busy, so he is trying to finish them off himself.
Mickey has a tattoo to honor his family, a way to have a piece of them everywhere he goes. A small quote in Spanish on his side stating Por aquellos que amo me sacrificaré/For those I love I will sacrifice
Reuben like to sleep in a hammock sometime's under the stars, reminding him of his childhood and growing up in the south, when he would play outside with his siblings
Javy is a momma's boy, in a good way, this man will always call his mom or text her about the thing's going on his life, before a big mission or detachment he calls her, tell her he loves her.
Jake has stepped on a jellyfish on a beach, after saying "oh they dont sting'" just for him to get shocked
Bradley broke his arm doing stunts on his bike as a kid, he has permanent scars on his forearm, he did in fact do it twice till Carole told him to not do it again.
Natasha and Bob learned the Rasputin Dance from Just Dance
Mickey has argued with people that pineapple belongs on pizza, he will full on go tooth and nail to defend his claims.
Reuben has knocked the Radio off in the Rec room, and has blamed it on Hangman, it was a whole debacle
Javy has a fear of snake's, he found one once and he took of running leaving his friend's to deal with it.
OKAY THAT IS ALL SHE WROTE, I know some of these dont make sense but I dont care i needed a stress reliver before another stressful week. AND THATS ALL SHE WILL WRITE BECAUSE THIS FAILED AGAIN

I had the best fucking staycation and I just wanna share it with you friend.
🥹🥂🖤
I know you’re already FEELING RAGE.
A BLAZED POST? BY A TUMBLR USER. *Cue starved and rabid werewolves.*
relax pls. u look great today.
It’s just a regular old ADVIRTISMENT but this isn’t for a greedy nasty corporate machine.
It’s just a .. makeshift two tiny girlie rough palmed always lotioned red handed attempt at reaching other tumblr users.
Please, take a breath. I’m not trying to make you fly into a RAGE. Let’s play… emotional regulation and basic human kindness todayyyy!
I know I’m asking you to engage with a blazed post. I’m sorry... not sorry?
Here .. is my content: 🫲🏽🤭🫱🏽
this week : Staycation Content
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✨ experienced a salt water float. Totally weightless in the complete darkness … 👩🏽‍🚀
✨recorded and edited 1.5 YouTube videos after a 3 year hiatus. shall I post them tomorrow? 🤭 🏆
✨ completed this gorgeous puzzle with my friend! This lovely 1000 piece beauty was gifted to me by an old matching soul flame from my past 👀
✨worked out/felt sore/enjoyed sore 💪🏽
✨got these beautiful stupid ugly lovely white crocs 👵🏽
✨spent less than 2 hours on TikTok ALL WEEK LONG shocked 😯

Tiktok Army you’re disappointing..
And i guess saying disappointing is an understatement ‘cause.. Obviously i’m not talking about everyone there are good gems out there but some people really are disgusting.
So i come back home (obviously you can tell that i missed Hobi’s live T-T) So i decided to catch up with what i’ve missed and since i want to be sitting around not doing much to watch the whole live i decided to watch snippets which allowed me to know that Jimin visited Hobi (My Jihope heart was so happy AAAAH!!) Right! 
Naturally, i was so giddy about it, it was cute, i loved their dancy dances, was reading tweets about their lil conversation yada yada and decided to go on tiktok usually after a live i get snippets on my fyp too and well i wasn’t wrong second video on my fyp was Jihope, i’ll link it right here :
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYkrSmNJ/
Now the reason why i’m linking the video instead of just downloading it and posting it is because of the comments. The video is nice, just our Jihope being Jihope nothing new, obviously unless one is blind yes Jimin went for Hobi’s neck for a peck or maybe not can’t tell with the angle but a peck nonetheless. While some comments were lovely but other comments looked like this : 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of course i know some people will be like “BuT jOy ThIs Is JuSt A jOkE” respectfully
I’m not against hickeys and the boys are grown ups it’s not like they’re still adult-virgins i’m more than happy if they’re getting some action just like any other normal and healthy adult we’re not about to jump on that “my innocent babies” train, that’s bullshit! 
The thing that’s upsetting about this is, you know what imma be frank with y’all, if you wanna joke about it you do you but do it privately, do it in your chat groups or with a friend or whatever but don’t post that shit publicly, you might be wondering why? i’ll tell you.
First of all, BTS are gay until it’s Jimin and JK and suddenly they’re brothers, they got called liars for exactly the same shit they’re joking about right now. Second of all, since when is Jimin a play toy to the members? Getting passed around or going around sucking everybody’s neck? This is not an A/B/O au where Jimin is a fragile and weak Omega with 6 Alphas or some shit. 
It’s bad enough that some people have the audacity to make aus with that plot actually, where Jimin is actually being passed around between the members to satisfy their sexual desires and fantasies. Don’t get me wrong you do you when you’re writing a fiction but inspiring your characters from real people with such plots.. I’m not even going to talk about other more disgusting and disturbing plots i came across. 
Just because he did that with one person, it doesn’t mean he goes around doing the same thing to all the members. Yes i get it, it’s a joke, i’m not a party-pooper i also like joking around as long as it brings no harm to anyone, do people even realize that whatever shit they say online can be picked up by the media? Let’s go on your “Just a joke” train and keep it that way right? When the next day media start posting articles about how Jimin is a .. I’m not even going to say the word this infuriates me actually, going around pleasuring the members then what? You think everyone knows not to believe Koreaboo or Music Mundial or Allkpop? 
Your “simple joke” can turn to a nasty rumor about Jimin and then later you’ll be fighting those medias about it, about the same stupid ass joke you thought was funny a few days ago! Grow the fuck up! Some shit can be said online and some shit is best kept away from prying eyes. Y’all are nasty!

Not sure if your request are open but, can I request how Genshin men(I would Like to request Heizou, Kazuha, Xiao, Wanderer,Cyno? and any characters of your choice I found want)...would react to coming home and see their s/o randomly in a inflatable shark costume, and start dancing Infront of them while the Music California Girls is on, Like the one in the TikTok ( ╹▽╹ )
a/n: this is such a specific request, and i love it 😭
genshin men reacting to you in an inflatable shark costume dancing to california gurls by katy perry
includes: kazuha, heizou, scara, xiao, cyno, itto
cw: fluff, crack, modern au, mentions of being high in kazuha
gn!reader
kazuha
would ask if you're high
you'd be dancing and all and he's just standing there like 🧍‍♂️
would make sure you didn't get the idea from beidou
if you did, she'd receive a long talk...
if you didn't, he'd make sure she never found out, so she wouldn't persuade the entire crux to join you.
(if he was high, he'd be the one joining you)
even if he's concerned, he's happy that you're happy!!
heizou
before he even opened the door, he heard the music, so he was expecting something like this.
but when he did enter, he immediately burst into laughter
seeing you in an inflatable costume was enough to bring him into tears of laughter
he was still giggling even when you finished dancing, and got out of the costume
would steal the costume from you to prank sara at work
wanderer
he'd be like ??? the moment he opened the door
he said, you look stupid, and why the hell were you dressed as a shark
when you continue dancing,he'd let out a giggle (he still thinks you look dumb, and definitely doesn't want to kiss you)
when you're not home, he deffo tries it on
if you catch him wearing it, he'll lock himself in the toilet, and refuse to come out
xiao
he's flabbergasted
no, he genuinely doesn't know what's happening
on the verge of collapsing
like, what the hell are you doing, why are you dancing, why are you wearing a shark costume-
he doesn't know what is he ment to do, so he awkwardly stares at you untill you're finished
his first words to you are, if someone is making you do this, and is he supposed to beat them up
if you spend the rest of the day in the costume, he'll keep staring at you, like he saw a ghost
cyno
would ask if this is your revenge for him telling bad jokes, the night before.
would try and dance with you
he'll tell bad jokes about sharks
is genuinely amazed by your costume (buy him one so you can match)
"what advice did the dad shark give his son? go take a bite out of life!”
itto
wouldn't recognize you
"wow mx shark what are you doing in my house"
immediately joins you
starts singing so loud, your neighbors are gonna file a complaint
he can't sing so, he just sings random noises if he doesn't know a word
when he finally recognizes you, he's kinda disappointed you're not a real shark

Footloose!
Part 1 || Part 2
Asking the Twisted Boys to do this with you ♡
GN reader, assuming you are the one being lifted 
Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, Diasomnia  
Scarabia
Kalim
Cater showed him this video during their club, and he immediately rushed to you and asked if you guys could try it 
Very excited to try it out
Little bit clumsy because of it but gets it down pretty quick
Is so SO happy when you guys get it 
spins you a little
If he sees any other partner tricks he’ll probably ask you to try it too
9/10
Jamil
Refuses at first 
he has a child to take care of 
but he is also a dancer at heart 
Will give in pretty quickly
Gets it down in 2 or 3 
Probably wants to make a little routine out of it 
10/10
Pomefiore 
Vil 
Oh? The potato wants a partner? 
will only agree if you guys are close 
Will also make sure you have it down perfectly 
If this is going anywhere online both partners gotta look good, ya know?
As shown in the Fairy Gala, he is a strict teacher 
One tough training session later and you guys got it down perfectly though 
9/10
Rook
You are scrolling through Tiktok and find this video
and then this mf pops outta nowhere 
“Ah, Trickster, would you care to try it out with moi~?”
WHY ARE YOU HERE??? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM???
But yeah, you do want to try it 
OK. I just know that this man has good tiddies and strong arms show it to me mouse
Gets it in 1 and is real dramatic about it 
“The way your hair cascades down your face, and the sparkle in your eyes. Ah, you feel heavenly in my arms. What beauté~ ♡”
uhhhhhh 10/10 if you can get past the... Rook-ness 
Epel 
Is sitting with you when you come across this and hears you make a comment about how you want to try it
Immediately offers himself as your partner. Wants to prove how manly he is ᕙ(o‸o)ᕗ
In fact he picks you up right then and there to prove he can do it 
Slow down there cowboy 
If Epel is anything, it’s spitefully determined, so after many attempts over a few days he gets it down 
so proud of himself ♡
head might be a little too close to the ground because he’s short lol
6/10
Ignihyde 
Idia
Pls don’t ask this man part 2
He is not made for physical activity 
If you’re in a relationship tho, shoot him the puppy eyes and BANG! his heart ♡🥺
he’ll attempt it with you, but ultimately, drops you 
apologizes and hides under his blanket mumbling about stupid normie trends 
1/10 but A for effort
Ortho (platonic)
You want to try it with him? He would love to!
He’s studied the video; he’s got the placements and timing down perfectly 
but... he’s a little short, so do you want try it in the air? 
He’ll only hover high enough to ensure you won’t hit your head. There’s a 99% success rate
If you don’t, that’s fine you can lift Ortho instead!
I think Idia gave him a light build, so he probably wouldn’t be too heavy to pick up
He’ll also help guide you through it!
10/10 fun bonding activity to do with your little bro
Diasomnia
Malleus
Ah, how intriguing, he’d be honored to help you out. But tell me Child of Man, what is this “Tiktok?” Is that not the sound a clock makes? 
Very happy that you consider him close enough to ask him to do fun things like this
Gets it in 1 as expected and is graceful with it as well 
doesn’t want to let you go just yet and offers up a dance 
anything to just keep holding you really
10/10 he is a simp
Lilia 
Oh? You want this old bat as your partner? Fufufufu~
He could get it down in one if he wanted to, buuuuuuut it’s more fun to have you help guide him
You just look so adorable trying to explain it to him. He just can’t help himself ♡
May or may not start floating with you in the middle of it 
Sorry, sorry, the squeak of surpise you let out is too cute for him to miss out on 
Will also ask you to lift him as well 
7/10 
Silver 
Agrees to it. Probably thinks it’s good for weight training and swift movements
Also you seem really excited about it and he just can’t say no with how happy you look🥺
Is a fast learner and gets it down quickly 
It’s like a fairytale the way it plays out - just the two of you in the forest, surrounded by his animal friends who watch along curiously 
You let out a giggle of adrenaline and happiness after he dips you and stare up into his aurora like eyes 
and then he gives you that heart melting soft smile 
Can you feel you heart racing?
Is Silver truly just a second year or is he really a prince coming to sweep you off your feet?
10/10 would recommend can you tell who my bias is?
Sebek 
HE DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR SILLY HUMAN GAMES. CAN’T YOU SEE THAT WAKASAMA NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO??
Yeah, you’re gonna have to convince Sebek that this is some sort of training that can help him be a better knight for Malleus 
Which shouldn’t be that difficult because he’s gullible 
Gets sort of flustered at how close you are for it 
Makes him slip up more times that he would like to admit but gets it down 
Probably wants to show his accomplishment off to Malleus
7/10

"Daddy, can I stop?" Chaeryeong whined.
"Nope. Keep humping, baby."
"It's starting to hurtttt."
"Yeah, and whose fault is that?" Yeji half laughed.
Chaeryeong didn't even know how she got to this position. She just remembered going in for practice that day needy as all Hell, finding Yeji there, sweatpants and sweatshirt, on her phone, clearly not in the mood, and thinking she'd found a perfect target to harrass.
First she tried cozying up next to her unnie, then straddling her unnie, eventually devolving into elaborate acrobatics to beg for attention from her unnie. She thought it was really funny. Yeji did too tbh, but the longer it went on, the less she wanted to humor Chaeryeong.
Ultimately, Yeji blinked first. Chaery lay on the couch, holding on to her leg like a little monkey and poking her on the side while whining "daddyyy" – something she absolutely did not call Yeji unless very desperate. She poked a little below Yeji's ribs, somewhere she was particularly ticklish.
With an annoyed "ok," Yeji put down her phone and shifted her weight. She pinned Chaeryeong's shoulder under her thigh and buried the back of her shoe deep between the girl's legs.
"Prove that you want it."
"Oh?" Chaeryeong smiled up at her unnie. Yeji could be very creative when toying with her, but this bordered on being stupid.
Yeji's heel dug further into Chaeryeong's core. Ok, she was starting to get it.
A smirk teased Yeji's mouth and her eyebrows fluttered up, challenging,
"If baby rubs herself well enough we can play more after practice." She let her eyes drift back to her phone, "no hands!"
That was like, 20 minutes ago. Yeji thought to herself that she must be a genius: she got what she wanted – scrolling TikTok in peace during practice – and found a way to entertain Chaeryeong at the same time.
Chaeryeong, meanwhile, was fighting for her life down there. The rubber from the shoe pushing against her was almost enough to get her to the edge. Almost…
The more it went on, the more the fabric of her underwear chafed her skin. Yeji wouldn't let her undress because they "were literally in public you freak," or whatever excuse. She probably just wanted to torture her. Maybe if her skin was sensitive enough she'd be able to reach the edge faster…?
She would also become painfully aware that they were both facing a mirror. Her eyes would catch her own reflection, stuck in maybe the world's dumbest position, humping Yeji's gross dancing sneakers, and, for just a second, the degradation would make her queasy. Just as fast, though, the embarrassment took over, and she'd bury her face into Yeji's thigh.
Noticing her baby's shame, Yeji giggled and brought up the camera on her phone. The loud click of the picture alerted Chaeryeong,
"No don't what are you doing!?"
"You're too cute baby, I just had to."
She groaned into Yeji's thighs, now completely distracted.
"Just don't post that anywhere, ok?"
"Of course, of course." The picture was already on Instagram by that point. "Anyway, sorry baby, I have to finish practicing. I'll play with you more tomorrow, ok?" She reached down to kiss her forehead as Chaeryeong whined.
Honestly, by then, she'd be more than happy to lock up the practice room and spend the whole day with her. But Chaeryeong was just too cute, left desperate like this. Yeji could totally get her to pay for lunch later.

Christmas but 10 Times better
I know it’s been a really long time (over a month) since I’ve posted but I really hope you guys enjoy this because I’ve been in writes block….. it’s hard
Summary: Christmas was a special time of year, but you had someone who made it even better
Prompt: them gently tilting your chin
Warning: fluff, snow/christmas?
Tumblr media
Buzz buzz buzz buzzzzz buzzzzz
Your stupid alarm clock was buzzing off the walls again. It was so loud you were pretty sure your parents could here it.
You sleepily reached over to turn it off, the sound of silence filling your ears when you did.
You picked up your phone to check the time, and your notifications that you hadn’t checked in 18hours. You scanned through all the Instagram, tiktok, and phone calls you’d gotten, but the one thing that caught your eye was the text from Peter that appeared at the bottom of the list. You quickly tapped on it, seeing that he sent you a good morning text.
You quickly responded: “hi, whatcha doin?”
You loved when he sent you good morning texts, and no matter how tired you were, you made it your mission to respond as soon as possible.
Peters text bubble popped up, letting you know he was typing. His message popped up not a second later: “just laying in bed, just got back from patrol so still pretty tired, and still need to shower 😶…”
You giggled as you read his sweet message, and his laziness. Peter was a pretty active guy, being Spider-Man and all, but when he got back from patrol, he was a bed potato.
You responded to his message: “ewwww, you still haven’t showered?? You stink 😵‍💫😵‍💫”
If Peter hadn’t known that you were being sarcastic, he would’ve been hurt. But knowing you, you couldn’t hardly say anything without some sarcastic or humorous comment being added in it somewhere. And Peter loved it.
He asked you if you wanted to come over, and of course you said yes. Both of you quickly got ready, you going a little slower then normal so Peter could shower.
But so enough you and Peter were in his room, talking about whatever you wanted.
“Can we go outside?” You asked out of the blue. It was a random question, but thanks to tiktok, you had the sudden urge to dance with your boyfriend in the snow, because why not.
“Y/n it’s snowing” peter pointed at the window, watching snow fall just outside of it.
“I know, come on it’ll be fun” you added getting up and tugging you boyfriend as hard as you could, trying to get him off the bed.
“Fine” he rolled his eyes, even though you could hear the excitement in his voice. You quickly took his hand and walked, almost ran, through his apartment and out the door.
Once you made it down to the lobby, and after making Peter take a selfie with the Christmas tree, you went outside into the cold, snowy place that was New York City. After playing in the snow like children, you and Peter took some more pictures (not like he wanted to, but he would do anything for you), you finally got what you had wanted to go outside for.
Peter was always able to tell what you wanted, especially when it came to things that involved him. So it was without a doubt clear to him that you wanted to dance with him in the snow, because honestly what girl wouldn’t.
Knowing Peter he was going to do whatever made you happy, so he took your hands in his, making you blush.
“May I have this dance?” He asked, gently bring your hand to his mouth and kissing it.
“I’m flattered” you started, the blush on your cheeks becoming more evident by the second. ‘Never gets old’ Peter thought
“I would be honored” you added in a horrible british accent, causing Peter to laugh.
Peter’s hands met your waist, your arms snaking around his neck. He slowly began to sway you back and forth, his eyes never leaving yours. You stayed like that for awhile, until the temptation became unbearable and you finally kissed him. It was a quick little peck, but it was special.
Peter smiled so bright, you were sure the whole block could see it. He gently filled your chin up, making it easier for him to kiss you, pulling you into another kiss, one that lasted much longer then the last.
The tree swayed in the wind as you walked back to your apartment building, hand in hand with your boyfriend. The wind made its occasion gust as the snow continued to fall. As the sun began to set and the lights on the buildings slowly turned on, still walking hand in hand with your boyfriend, you looked all around you, taking in the beautiful city.
Christmas was always a special time of year, but you were just thankful that you had someone who made it ten times better.

Are You Embarrassed Yet?
Pairing - Miguel O’Hara x gn!teen!reader
Summary - Miguel tries everything he can to embarrass you
A/N: i’m so sorry if the Spanish is horrible i only speak German and English! feel free to correct me though:)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“Am I embarrassing you yet?” Miguel O’Hara asked with genuine curiosity towards you.
He had bet against Lyla that he could make you laugh by the end of the day… and it wasn’t looking too good for him. He had tried doing a silly “TikTok” dance from your universe, he told Lyla to program his suit to look like yours, he was doing a lot of things that he himself thought were embarrassing, and yet you wouldn’t budge.
You shook your head from side to side and shuffled away from him in the room towards Hobie. He greeted you with open arms and a nod of encouragement. Hobie was rooting for you and hoping that he’d win his own bet against Gwen.
You knew exactly what was going on and who was betting what on you or Miguel. You thought it was funny at first but now it’s just annoying. Having your mentor wearing your suit or a pair of Lyla’s signature heart-shaped glasses were not only embarrassing (though you would never show it) but also gave you a pang of annoyance toward him. The sensation of being able to hide from the society in plain sight was now torn away from you as Miguel tried finding bigger and brighter (literally brighter) ways to embarrass you.
You stood beside Hobie and listened to Miguel’s speech. You’d soon all be shipped off to another universe to conquer yet another anomaly, but for now, you were stuck listening to Miguel give you all directions. You tried your best to pay attention to his words, you really did, but you noticed out of the corner of your eye Spider-people passing money back and forth placing their bets. It didn’t help that Miguel was currently dressed from head to toe in a bunny costume, deciding that since none of his more subtle tricks have worked that he would have to get extravagant with it.
Aw man, he just ruined bunnies for me… you thought with a twinkle of sadness.
That’s it, after this meeting you were going to tell him he had won. This was getting annoying and way out of hand. Luckily your moment came quickly because just as soon as the meeting started it was finished. You rushed up to his platform, shooting webbing onto the bottom and flipping up landing with a pretty cool pose.
You tiptoed beside him and poked his arm. He looked at you with a hopeful glint in his eye.
“Hey kiddo, what’s up? Finally embarrassed?” He was so ready for this stupid bet to be done and over with.
“Um yea actually, you win. I don’t wanna do this anymore so I think it would just be best if you tell everyone you won. People everywhere have been placing bets so it would be good to let them all know,” you turned around and sat on the ledge of the platform contemplating on making a leave from the room or not.
Miguel hadn’t known of the others making bets and wasn’t sure he was too happy with it. It made him feel… angry that others were partaking in something he thought only you, Lyla, and him were involved in. He guessed it was fair since he was being extra elaborate with his outfits compared to what he normally wears, but it still made him feel angry.
“Oh… I didn’t know other people were getting involved,” he turned his head toward you and noticed your defeated nature. “Hey, if you want you can tell everyone you won. I don’t have to win if you don’t want me to, Nena (babe).”
You shook your head, “No it’s okay, and it’s not that. I feel like more people are noticing me now and I don’t like it. I like feeling invisible even if I’m in plain sight and now all of these people are staring at me when you’re around to see my reaction,” you look down at your feet when you suddenly get bumped in the shoulder and hear a mumbled “sorry”. Miguel sat beside you, arm to arm over the edge.
Miguel sat and looked at you for a moment, thinking of something helpful to say. “Maybe we shouldn’t have done this, ya? I don’t think we realized how much more it was than actually a game. I don’t like thinking of people passing money between themselves thinking of you or I winning. Especially you, it just feels… wrong to spread money in your name behind your back. Lo lamento, mi cielito(I'm sorry, little heaven). I’ll order everyone to take down their bets and I'll return my clown costume too,” he looked at you, chuckling at your reaction.
“Clown suit? What were you going to do with that?” You knew the answer, yet you wanted to hear him say his plan anyway.
“Oh you know, just walk around… juggle some knives. The usual,” he said with a playful smile and a quick wink.
You punched his arm lightly and giggled to yourself. “I’m impressed at your commitment to making me embarrassed though, I’ll have to remember that for when I get sad,” you said with an earnest smile. He shared your smile and hooked his arm under yours, bringing you closer to him.

Crippling loneliness in the age of the internet:
"Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?"
~Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart (1999)
Let me set the scene:
In a dark room, the only light is coming from the phone of a girl laying on the bed, as she mindlessly scrolls for hours on end. She is typing fast, she is running multiple apps in the background, she is listening to the latest hits while doing all of this, her earphones never leave her ears; even when she closes her eyes, she is still listening to a podcast. Despite all these activities happening around her. The girl looks bored and apathetic, her eyes are blank, no emotions, no thoughts. And for hours to come she stays in that state, waiting for something to happen, even if it doesn't, she doesn't care.
This could be the opening lines of a sci-fi novel but this is actually how I act when I am alone. This is how my life has become. And while people like to blame this on the internet that has made Gen Z mindless zombies; I think the only reason I haven't died is because of the internet. To normal people it's a curse that makes humanity fall to its lowest. To me it gave a purpose, a want and a direction to live for.
The Internet isn't the evil mastermind to me, it's a necessity that has kept me alive and not succumbing to the fact I have no one to talk with.
Internet to me isn't Instagram, Snapchat, Discord,Twi--X (someone stop Elon Musk from cooking), it's the "quirky" apps like Pinterest, Tumblr and Reddit as well as the depths of content that is YouTube. It's the places where I found "my" people who understood me, who accepted me, who appreciated me. Growing up I had no one to talk with, even my own family wasn't understanding, let alone my friends.
During my school life I had always been surrounded by friends or as I like to put it, people I can talk to and have lunch with during school hours. That's what it was, nothing more than that. My idea of friends was just different from others, I didn't want emotional connection or people to hang out with. I wanted friends who would listen to my ramblings and be able to debate and discuss things with.
I don't want to seem pretentious or snobbish and definitely not above others in any way. But....when I am surrounded by so many frustratingly stupid people, I don't have any other words to describe them than "not good enough for me". They may be wonderful people, who are warm and lively. I do not care about being around such people. I am someone that watches video essays on morality, ethics, philosophy and analysis of movies and TV, in comparison to the people I know I am just more perceptive and thoughtful and that alone makes me seem like a stranger to them (INTPs are weird in short form). My dad told me smart people have it hard to make friends because of this exact nature, I wouldn't call myself incredibly intelligent but I know I am far more capable in thinking than my classmates who watch reality TV shows and Tiktok dances. Sometimes I cannot even comprehend how people can even get satisfaction and happiness from something as simple as that and that's when I understand: it's okay to be different than that and it's okay that they are "normal".
I feel like I am Lain from "Serial Experiments Lain", as if my existence is given meaning by the internet and I was born from it. My lack of social interactions in person can be explained by that, but it's the thought of talking with other people that often scares me. I am used to being silent, so much so that even on the internet, I remain quiet, not interacting with people who might understand me. Being afraid of not being understood has stopped me from even trying to make connections when there's people ready to do that.
I don't even reply to comments on my posts, unless I have to and I don't talk with anyone on the internet itself. I just watch and be happy at other people's interactions and feel a sense of belonging.
For some days I decided to stop doing that, to stop the vow of silence. To let people approach me and approach others myself. I want to be friends and it's the only thing that I have ever considered as something I couldn't achieve.
Loneliness isn't as pretty as the movies and books tell you. It's more of a psychological thriller than a show like Euphoria and Skins where these stylised depictions make my depression and loneliness appear cool. It's cool to be alone, to have my own space and not cross boundaries but it's not cool to let the loneliness that shields me, devour me.

AN: And now we get to Jo's pregnancy with Karev baby #3! Rest assured I've already written and edited this entire story so updates will be weekly and punctual.
…………………………………………………………………
Alex was trying to concentrate. He had one shot at this and prepared himself as he watched the timer countdown. He only had a few seconds to do this so he knew he had to be perfect. He watched as the timer counted down, 3, 2, 1, go. He let the first pendulum swing then the second, but then he fumbled the third one. Two of the pendulums crashed together and he lost the game. Alex tried again, but with the same results, and groaned at his failures. 
This stupid game was getting the better of him. He was a surgeon, he was supposed to have quick fingers and know how to keep time. The fifteen-year-old nonbinary teen, Luca, in the bed next to him, giggled as Alex grumbled and tried again. This time he got all the swinging in time, and the fourth one went before the two collided and he lost again. Luca snorted but had the decency to cover their mouth.
Alex grunted as he handed the phone back to Luca. “Since when does Tic Tok have games anyway? I thought it was just like a dancing-storytelling version of Vine?” Alex asked as he crossed his arms.
“Oh please like you don't have a TikTok Dr. Alex,” Lucas said as they shook their head. “And it's a multi-purpose social media app. I even get news on here.” 
“Whatever,” Alex said as he waved it off. “Can I take a look at your scar now?”
“Yeah,” Luca said, rolling up their gown as Alex saw the scar on their side. 
The incision was healing nicely after the repair for blunt force trauma to their abdomen nearly ripped apart their liver. Although they had to take the right lobe out, the left lobe of the liver was recovering nicely and would regenerate the right lobe soon enough. Luca was healing up nicely, inside and out and they had gotten their strength and humor back. Link had worked with him in surgery as they reset the teen’s leg and grabbed the Doppler to check the blood flow, seeing that all was good.
“Well, I think we're on track to discharge you tomorrow and you can go home,” Alex said with a smile.
“Really?” Luca asked, perking up as they smiled.
“Yup, you should get out of here, it’s been long enough,” Alex said as he knew how much Luca wanted to go home and hated being away from friends and their mom. 
They had been airlifted here from Gold Bar after they were in a car crash with their father who was recovering in the general ward. Their mom worked and couldn’t make it in every day and their friends could only visit once. Alex had heard Owen's plan to discharge their father tomorrow and figured he’d see if Luca could go home as well.
Alex put the Doppler away as Luca pulled up tik tok on their phone again. “Wanna play again before you go and see if you can beat it?” 
Before Alex could say yes, the door swung open and one of the interns, Yasuda ran in. Alex turned, annoyed at how she had rushed in, but when he saw the look on her face he paused. It was a look of worry that meant someone he loved was hurt and his heart stopped. 
“Dr Karev, it's your wife.”
…………………………………………………………………
Alex raced down the hallway like an intern running after an incoming trauma. As soon as Yasuda said that Jo had fainted, he ran off to find her. He was desperate to get to his wife. He had to see if she and their baby were alright. He knew realistically that they would be, but he had to see it for himself.
He ran up to the maternity ward first, before running down to the ORs, knowing that was where they were coming from. He eventually found them as Carina was pushing Jo in a wheelchair with one of the newer OB interns beside her. Alex quickly raced up to them and they paused for a second as he finally reached her. Despite seeing her, there was still a tightness in his chest as he knelt in front of her. Jo gave him a tired smile, looking up from where she was holding her 26 week pregnant bump and an ice pack against her forehead. 
“I'm okay,” Jo promised, although she looked up at him with weary eyes. 
“Like hell you are,” Alex said, cupping her cheek with his hand and holding her bump with his other hand. “What happened? How did you hit your head? Are you dizzy? Did you throw up?”
“Hey,” Jo said, getting him to focus on her again as she looked into his eyes. “I'm fine. The baby’s fine, I promise.” 
Sill, Alex looked up at Carina who gave him a reassuring smile. “Rest assured Dr. Karev, Jo and your baby are alright. She was faint from standing for a long uterine abrasion surgery and she only hit her head on a tray as she was trying to get up on her own. Apart from a small bump on her head, she is fine.”
Alex nodded as Jo let him move the ice pack so he could see the small red mark on her hairline. “You're okay?”
“I’m okay,” Jo assured him with a smile, as much as she said she hated everyone fussing over her, she secretly loved to be taken care of by him, especially while pregnant. 
“I thought we said no fainting in ORs this time around,” Alex said with a slight smile despite his lingering worry. 
“I know,” Jo looked up at him with a matching small smile, and he could see fatigue in her eyes.
“Why don’t you take the rest of the day off and go home to rest,” Alex insisted as he took over punishing her wheelchair as they continued down the hallways again. 
“It’s already approved,” Carina agreed with a nod. 
“No,” Jo insisted as she looked up at them. 
Alex and Carina exchanged a look as both of them paused for a second before they both opened their mouths to protest. However, Jo quickly cut them off. 
“I’m fine, I promise and I’ll take it easy for the rest of the day,” Jo said as she looked at them insistently. “I'll take a break and go get something to eat and drink. I'll go visit the girls and then I'll do paperwork, nothing too strenuous.”
“Josephine, I don't think this is very wise,” Carina said, her eyebrows knitted together as she placed a hand on Jo’s shoulder. “And as your doctor and your superior, I am urging you to go home.”
“I don't want to go home and be bored for the next four hours until Alex and the girls get there,” Jo lamented with a frown.
“Jo please just take it easy, for your sake and the baby's sake!” Alex pleaded with her, getting mad that she would rather stress herself out than relax at home.
“The baby and I are fine!” Jo said as she went to get up, despite both of their protests as they tried to keep her seated and she managed to stand up strong. “I am fine.”
Jo walked away from them and Alex let out a deep sigh. He pinched his nose as Carina just shook her head and put her hand on her hips. They never understood why she did this. He knew she hated being lonely, and her anxiety rose especially while pregnant, but this was beyond that.
“I’ll at least keep an eye on her and make sure she does desk work, checking in patients, calls, and chart work, but no work on any active labors or C-sections,” Carina said as she shrugged, they both knew by now that Jo would still try and deliver babies. It was what she lived for.
“I'll stay with her for now and if she gets faint again, I'll take her home,” Alex nodded as Carina agreed with their plan. 
Carina went back down the hall to the OR to finish the surgery while Alex looked back to Jo. She was walking away and he had to jog to catch up with her. When he did, he put a hand on her back as he fell in step with her. Jo smiled at him, as she knew she had won. 
They both took a lunch and went down to the cafeteria. They got something to eat and drink as she rested with her feet up on an extra chair. He watched her closely, but she seemed alright and was even eager to chase the girls around. They pulled them out of daycare for a bit as they got some cuddles and hung out in Alex’s office before they took them back.
After they said goodbye to the girls, they walked back up to the maternity ward. Carina was waiting for her and Jo sat down in a chair at the nurse's station. Carina presented her with a stack of charts to work on and Jo scowled at the tower of paperwork she had. 
“You could always just go home?” Alex said, looking down at her as he leaned on the counter. 
“No, I’m good,” Jo said as she plastered on a smile, opened the first file, and logged into the computer
“Alright,” Alex as he stood there a little longer, wishing for an excuse to stay. 
Jo glanced over at him with a light glare, telling him to go. His phone dinged and Alex pulled it out as he sighed. He was being paged to the ER for a consult but looked back at his pregnant wife. 
“Go, I'll be fine,” Jo said again with a light smile.
He almost believed her, but there was something inside of him that told him he needed to worry about her. Still, he looked down at the page and knew that he had to go. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. Jo smiled before she reached up to grasp his chin as she turned to kiss his lips.
“Promise me, you’ll page me if you even feel the slightest bit sick,” Alex insisted as he watched her.
“I promise,” Jo said and he knew she was resisting the urge to roll her eyes. “But don't worry I'm in good hands.” 
Jo looked back at the nurses who all smiled back at her and nodded, reassuring him. If he couldn’t look after her, the nurses were the second best thing. 
“Alright, I'll see you later,” Alex said as he reluctantly turned around and walked away. 
…………………………………………………………………
Later that afternoon Alex walked back to the Maternity ward and saw Jo standing at the nurse's station. He couldn't shake the feeling of worry he had for her and decided to take an extra break to go check on her. Although he had heard from the nurses that she was fine and grumbling about the paperwork. 
When he spotted her, Jo was speaking to a few of the new interns and the nurses. Alex smiled as he approached her. At 26 weeks pregnant, Jo had a sizable bump under her black scrub shirt, and he loved admiring it. She had both of her hands on her back, rubbing in small circles and he reached out to rub her back for her. As Alex put his hand on her back, Jo looked up at him with hazy eyes and leaned into him as she began to waver. 
“Jo, Jo,” Alex said as her eyes fluttered shut and he quickly wrapped his arms around her and held her.
“I'm fine, I didn’t pass out,” Jo said, putting a hand on her head as she took a few deep breaths. “I'm just a little light headed.”
“Get me a chair!” Alex yelled at them as they all jumped into action. 
The intern quickly turned and scrambled around as they tried to grab one of the chairs that were connected to a line of other chairs from the waiting room. The nurses were smarter and quickly gave him the rolling chair from behind the desk and helped him ease Jo into it.
Alex pulled out his stethoscope and gave her a once-over. Her heart sounded fine, her lungs sounded good too. But as he put his hand on her forehead, she felt hot. 
“Is there anything I can get you, Dr. Karev?” One of the interns asked.
“No, now scram,” Alex said, knowing Jo didn’t like a crowd fussing over her and they all quickly left them alone.
“I hate this,” Jo said, rubbing her forehead.
“I know,” Alex gave her a sad smile as he knelt down in front of her and reached up to cup her cheek. “What's going on Jo?” 
“I'm not feeling so good,” Jo admitted with a sigh. “I think I'm coming down with a cold or something.”
“Why didn’t you tell me or Carina?”
“I didn't want you to worry, I'm sorry,” Jo said as she frowned and tears sprung in her eyes.
“I’m always going to worry about you, but if I know what's going on then I can help you,” Alex said as he rubbed her cheek with his thumb.
“I know,” Jo cried as she covered her face with her hand. “It just makes me feel like I can't do my job or anything and I didn’t want to be admitted like last time where everyone was there and they all found out I was pregnant. It was fun to celebrate it, but I hated being fussed over.” 
“I know you hate it, but you need to be fussed over because you’re not feeling well. You're clearly running a fever and I know you're tired. And don't pretend that you don't have a runny nose, because I know you have tissues stuffed in your pockets.”
“My throat hurts too,” Jo admitted as her voice started to sound a little horse.
“I’m sorry, Jo,” Alex said with a sigh as he frowned. 
Now that she was in the second trimester her pregnancy symptoms had eased up. However it came with new symptoms, she still had insomnia and she struggled to sleep. This often left her tired and in need of a daily nap alongside their toddlers. She was also dealing with heartburn and round ligament pain. Now that she was sick he couldn’t imagine how much worse she felt.
“Come on, let's go home,” Alex said, putting his arm around her as he helped her up. 
“Okay,” Jo said as for once she didn't protest and leaned into him.
“Thank you,” Alex said as he reached around to hold her bump and they walked together towards the resident’s lounge.
“Will you make me mac and cheese for dinner?” Jo asked, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
“Of course,” Alex agreed, despite how they’d had twice in the past week he knew the girls loved it just like their Mama. 
“Thank you,” Jo said as she leaned in and kissed his cheek and he tried not to blush at her affection.
Jo did as she was told, for once, and went home. They let Carina and Hayes know they were leaving and Alex took a bit of work home with him. Then they went and got the girls from daycare and headed home. When they got there, her nose started running even more and she opened up the cough drops. He took her temperature and she was 100.9° F.  Alex just raised an eyebrow at her as Jo ignored his eyes. She did stay home the next day and the day after that. After a few days in bed, Jo recovered from her cold. Then she was back to her usual self, even her pregnancy symptoms eased up, and Alex’s worry disappeared… 
Until a week later.

saw the ask u got about kq not letting ateez do tiktoks with ppl outside the company and as stupid as it is it's lowkey kind of common? div1 does the same thing with stray kids. i think they make exceptions for certain artists. like they let felix and hyunjin dance with taeyang because like. are you gonna say no to a bigbang member. so i think it's the same for sanhwa because why would you turn down KAI of all people. but i seriously think these companies need to stop keeping their idols to themselves and just let them interact with other idols???? like it would be great promotion and would make the fans super happy. i can justify some of kq's decisions from a business perspective because ateez getting big was a very happy accident and they want to keep that income rolling in and play it safe but this one just makes no sense
Tumblr media
yeah i mean i'm not saying it isn't common but at the same time you have this long LONG list of junior groups who would LOVE to do a challenge with ateez but you're blocking them from doing so for?? what reason exactly?? and i actually think kq/ateez went to film with kai and requested to film with him, not the other way around but i'm not 100% sure.
i personally could justify some of kq's business decisions if you mentioned them to me like, 3 years ago. now, no i can't justify them personally but that's just me. and honestly when ateez were starting out, kq seemed to do better about pushing them in the market and ateez is one of the last remaining groups that came out of 2018 so kq were clearly doing well enough (heavily assisted by the fandom) to keep momentum going.
i would disagree about kq playing it safe personally bc it's known that kq really put like. everything they had left into ateez. they pushed so hard for ateez that they were in debt for a good while bc of how much they were putting into getting ateez off the ground and running and they were seriously taking every opportunity they could get.
ateez have not been in nugudom for quite some time and i know many may disagree with me, i wouldn't say they were really... ever? in nugudom? compared to groups that i consider nugus now, ateez's debut was pretty big, and even predebut contents were very heavily noticed and watched. like yeah, it's well known that their sales were in the low hundreds with their first release, but they did go onto do a world tour 4 months after debut, so i don't think they qualified as a nugu if you just looked at international popularity, and the general public was talking about them a lot soon after debut bc of that international popularity and what they were able to achieve in such a short amount of time. and if you talk to korean fans, most will tell you that ateez is not nearly as nugu as international fans think they are. i also don't think kq was prepared or ready for the levels of popularity ateez reached after such a short period of time and it feels like they've been trying to figure out how to catch up with that popularity for a while now

A Smile You Can Taste
If someone was to ask what the moment was that he knew he was in love it was at Tankhun’s birthday bash. He’d not been invited but Kinn had been a little shit to his elder brother inviting him last minute. So when he arrived the party was in full swing. As always the party had been top notch with great music, perfect invites, and food that would put even the best foodie into a coma. He’d grabbed one of the flutes of champagne off a waiter's tray and was nursing it when he spotted Pete. He was standing there with Tankhun and Porsche, Kinn’s boyfriend.
Vegas’ breath caught as he watched the smile spread not just across his face but his whole body. It was like lightning danced in his veins as heat simmered low in his gut. The pull to be closer was so damn tempting. However, at the man’s left was his damned cousin. Vegas didn’t have any intentions of scaring him away. Because that’s exactly what Tankhun would do if he tried to introduce himself. So, he’d wait for the perfect moment. 
He’d earned it when Porsche finally introduced him an hour later, and since that moment Vegas’ had been keeping a watchful eye as much as he could. Which is how he’d come this moment now at the cafe that Pete is currently working at to pay for his expenses. A place that Vegas is becoming a regular at even if the younger man didn’t know it yet. 
Vegas moved with ease around the couple that’d entered before him to get to his favorite booth. It allowed him to use the mirrors to just watch Pete as he worked. Vegas was able to witness the various smiles that he offered other’s through working the register. To the normal person all those smiles were the same but Vegas understood the difference. Those enthralling eyes gave it away to him as well.
Like right now, a small curt smile. He didn’t like the woman in front of him.  To be honest neither did Vegas. She embodied the definition of a tiktok princess along with the most hideous perfume that he’s ever smelt since she walked in. There was a slight crinkle of Pete’s nose and he was sure that the man could smell it too, if not infinitely worse. Vegas hoped it didn’t stick to his skin. He swallowed hard and peered down at his phone as he started getting texts from his cousin.
  Porsche’s Dirtbag  : Where the hell are you? 
 Vegas: Getting breakfast. Why do you care? Porsche’s Dirtbag : You are getting breakfast?
 Vegas: Not all of us have the cook get up at an ungodly hour to cook us eggs benedict
  Porsche’s Dirtbag : 🖕
  Porsche’s Dirtbag  : Whatever asshole. Porsche wanted you to come to dinner at his place tonight. 
 Vegas: The occasion?
  Porsche’s Dirtbag : Does there have to be one? Don’t act like you’re not coming. We both know you like my boyfriend.
 Vegas: Not everyone is jealous after your life. Besides, I have zero interest in your seconds. What time?
  Porsche’s Dirtbag : Whatever. 18:00. 
 Vegas: See you then.
 He was so lost in thought that he didn’t realize that Pete had spotted him. He’d shyly approached, with a rag in hand like he was cleaning the tables. 
“P’Vegas?” Pete’s voice snapped him back to the moment. 
“Hello Pete. This is a surprise. Didn’t realize you worked here?” Vegas offered, feeling stupid for getting caught. However, Pete was wearing one of his honest bright, happy smiles. 
“I do. It’s really nice and we get discounts on our drinks.” Pete winked and that made Vegas’ heart skip a beat. The urge to kiss that smile was so strong but Vegas’ will was steadfast. He was going to do this slow. In the past, He’d ruined going in so soon. 
“Sounds like the perfect incentive.” Vegas chuckled watching Pete’s cheeks heat up as he looked him over. 
“Yep. So I can hook you up. What would you like?” Pete asked sincerely. His gaze flicking to the menu that’d been printed on the table. Each drink and snack was named after a type of breed of cat.
“I will have a Calico. Iced.” Vegas finally answered as he noticed the hopeful gaze of the other man and he didn’t want to let him down. “And one of the cinnamon buns to go.” He smiled a toothy grin. Pete absolutely glowed at his answer with a smile that Vegas could taste. There would be a day when he’d be able to have this man.
“I’ll be back in a bit.” Pete was practically bouncing to have something to do.  Vegas watched how carefully that Pete made his drink but also spotted that Pete was checking his phone. He hoped it was because Porsche invited him too. It’d be perfect for him to be able to get to know Pete better.

Afraid of Love
I'm 28 year old lady and I have been single since birth. Having flings are unappealing to me because I want a serious and honest relationship with a guy. Crushes are temporary and by luck, I get a nanosecond of a guy's attention before he find someone worth their time. But, I guess that's my fault since I'm closed off and my lack of social skills. I lack the ability to flirt and it doesn't help when you're an introvert who's socially awkward. Guys never approached me and I don't have the courage to approach one either. I don't have a problem being single. Slowly, learning and loving myself more but it doesn't mean I don't want a relationship. In fact, I love to be in a relationship where I can love and care for the guy I love and his as well. I want to experience snuggling with him on the couch while we're watching movies, holding hands and smiling at each other when we walk down the street, bantering and laughing at our silliness and slow dancing to our song. But, the problem is I'm afraid. I'm afraid of love. It's not because I have commitment issues. One thing about me is I'm very loyal and not afraid to commit. What I'm afraid of is him falling out of love for me. I'm afraid when I wake up in the morning, I don't see the love in his eyes anymore. He would say the words I fear the most, 'I don't love you anymore', and gets up and leave. I'm left crying and heartbroken. I'm afraid that I'm not worth enough for him to stay.
I have some experiences where a guy would reach out to me in social media and we would talk ang laugh for long hours. They would flirt with me and I would try to flirt back but I ended up complimenting him which they will laugh and say they find it cute but it doesn't last long. The last message would always be me greeting them good morning and telling them to have a great day and be safe. They left me on read and never replied back. The last one I thought it was going to last.
He reached out to me on Instagram in the year 2020, in the middle of the pandemic. I was skeptical at first because he's a very handsome guy and told me I'm beautiful. I ended up replying later on and we've been talking to each other for two years. He would make me smile and laugh with his cute flirting and we would talk about our dreams and goals. He would tell me his silly pickup lines and I would smile and laugh. I felt happy when he said he liked me because I liked him as well. He told me he hoped I wasn't talking to anyone else and reassured him I wasn't which was true. But, he never said we were couple and I don't want to presume we were because he never made it official and I don't know if I should say something or not. We lasted for two years and I was slowly falling for him but not once he said we were exclusive. His last message was his reply from the joke I learned from Tiktok. Then, a few weeks passed he never messaged me. At first I thought, maybe he was busy with work or resting so I let it be. One day, I decided to message him and asked how he was doing. Only to find out I can no longer view his IG profile. He blocked me. How did I know he blocked me? I have another IG account with a different name. I created it when I was still in college. His profile used to be private but then he made it public. I saw his new posts and stories. I checked the dates and it was the exact same time where he stopped messaging me. I never saw those posts and stories which meant he hid it from me before he blocked me. I saw his IG story with a girl and they were traveling together. In his post, he captioned the girl as 'his love'. I was heartbroken and I felt so stupid. I cried and mend my broken heart. I was like that for two months. It was funny because we started in August 2020 and ended in August 2022. Sadly, he never told me we were couple and maybe that's why he just did what he did. Although, I wished he would talked to me that he found someone and want to end things. I mean sure I would be heartbroken but I will let him go. I won't beg him to reconsider and stay. I just wanted closure but I guess what he did was closure enough.
I know it's ridiculous to get affected but I can't help it. When he blocked me, it felt like I was a piece of trash. Easy to throw away. It made me feel I was never important and not worth his time. To me, my worst fear became a reality. Now, I'm scared it's going to happen again once a guy reaches out or approaches me.
I want to fall in love and be happy but at the same time I'm afraid. I'm afraid he would leave and I don't want to get hurt. The idea of him falling out of love for me at any time scares me.

my opinion on the kind of phone every character in this game has
Adela:while i believe adela’s the sort to think spending a lot of money on things is stupid, i also think she’d have the stupid three camera phone
Adriana:flip phones because those are way harder to track
Aiden:i think he really didn’t want to have a phone but he got one for his job. so it’s definitely a nokia keyboard slide phone because he’s not quite the guy who’s reject technology embrace the flip either
Alex:he’s a secret agent and extremely quirky about it, so he has a flip phone he dramatically opens every time he takes a call
Arda:he doesn’t have the money to splurge on that but you need a phone for your job and for college. so it’s probably touchscreen, yes, but pretty old anyway. there’s a thin crack through the screen
Aya:she’s pretty boring as a person so she’d just have a standard touchscreen phone that’s not too old, not too new
Barbara:absolutely hates apple with her entire heart and exclusively uses phones she can dismantle. women want her tech store attendants fear her
Bernice: i think saying he even has a brick phone is really generous. but i think it’d be so funny in like some sort of AU for him to get a new generation phone and he’s the mom using a new phone skit from bubarim. “how do i see the time” “it’s literally right here” “oh. sorry. there’s so many buttons” “THERE IS LITERALLY ONLY ONE BUTTON ON THIS”
Bianca:she not only has a fairly new phone. she also has tiktok. she taught johann a tiktok dance for sure since their dynamic is pretty much “SASA LELE HELL YEAH” “yes sasa lele (i know it’s not sasa lele but i want to make her happy)”
Camilo:he would have the NEWEST GENERATION PHONE because he’s so self absorbed
Cathy: nokia with buttons. that’s her vibe
Celine:has to keep it on do not disturb because it blows up with notifications. i’m not sorry
Chiara:i’d be amazed. no fucking way she has a phone
Chloe:i think she buys a new phone once hers becomes significantly outdated and otherwise doesn’t care about it. but nina has her own phone and uses it to watch dora the explorer
Daniel:specifically an old samsung phone i think. not quite buttoned though, touchscreen
Echion: where would he even get a phone
Elena:newest generation phone, no argument. she’s a rich daddy’s girl. the real discussion is:would she look down on someone else for having a shitty phone
Eleven:same as elena, newest generation phone. but i think eleven would look at even a flip phone and be like WOAH SO COOL
Eva:probably has an old phone back from when she was allowed to go outside i think. she had an instagram
Emma:she’s very low-income now but used to be high-income, so she has a phone that was newest generation back when she left. so it’s pretty damn old
Felix:hoodlum skin has a phone, i don’t want to elaborate
Fiora:standard samsung touchscreen phone probably. i think she does keep them “up to date” but isn’t like, NEWEST GENERATION. just avoids letting her phone get too old
Hart:old phone because she’s definitely too poor to buy a new one. there’s several cracks in the screen but she does have an okay phone case
Hyejin:she cannot bear using anything newer than a button nokia
Hyunwoo:generally when you’re still under your parents’ control they choose your phone. so since his mom doesn’t seem to care for him much, i think he has a very old phone or none at all
Isol:he not only does not have a phone, i am convinced he types with one finger. unrelated kind of but yeah i’m right you’re wrong shut up he types with one finger
Jackie:why do i keep drawing a blank. i have genuinely no idea what she’d have. it’s honestly impressive
Jan:i keep picturing a brick phone. realitically it’s a normal one
Jenny: has an iphone for clout but secretly likes huawei
Johann: controversial opinion:priests don’t have phones
JP: i think he has an okay phone and thinks buying a new phone when it comes out is for suckers
Laura:stole a really good expensive phone to use for herself lol
Lenox:since her boss is the one who got her the car i’m willing to bet her boss got her the phone too and she could honestly use any phone and be fine with it
Leon:beyond being waterproof i think he isn’t picky
Li Dailin: very good question. i think she wouldn’t have a phone
Luke:it’d be really funny if he had a flip phone. realistically he’d at least have an older phone that’s able to be properly disposed of, hitmen wouldn’t have a trackable phone, but i’m thinking flip
Magnus:i think he hates technology and says only pussies have good phones
Mai:she’s too rich and fancy to not have a newest generation one tbh
Nadine:is it canon that she sucks with technology or is that just an extension of what makes sense for her? in any case i’ll assume she doesn’t have a phone
Nathapon:i feel like he has a really good camera and a pretty bad phone. i’m thinking those tiny nokia button phones
Nicky: probably breaks phones a lot (not silvia a lot since nicky isn’t reckless, just strong) but a lot), so she would have only the most resistant brands so she can actually keep a phone for longer than a few months
Priya:canonically would not have a phone with that kind of backstory
Rio:god is the one image of her taking a photo of a cat fanart or actual canon. i’ll assume it isn’t
Rosalio:he doesn’t have a good phone case, and gets angry at the phone for breaking when he drops it
Rozzi:hm. she wouldn’t have a phone. i feel it in my bones
Shoichi:itd be funny if i said iphone but realistically he’d just have the usual touchscreen android phone that isn’t NEWEST GENERATION but does the job of a phone. he’s the sort to not buy a new phone until his current one is actually bothering him with how little it works. a frugal guy
Silvia:goes through phones like underwear. either she drops them on the toilet a lot, or she didn’t put it away properly before hopping on her bike and it fell while she drove... they break or disappear constantly
Sissela:ok. completely making this up, not canon. but she is female enzo gabriel she asks if you got games on your phone. so she has an ipad
Sua:she sucks with technology so i think old nokia button phone. she plays snake on it
Tia:i think she decorates her phone case. loves phone charms. might have a new-ish phone so she can use it to draw
William:we’ve seen his phone in the training william skin
Xiukai:you know those phones where they’re touchscreen but you can open a slot underneath to reveal a keyboard? yea
Yuki:rich family, newest generation. i just specifically think he has an iphone though, the other rich folks could have anything but i think he has an iphone
Zahir:he doesn’t have one. and if you hand him a phone he’ll manage to do the old person thing of setting it to a language neither of you speak and have the gull to be like “these phones are so difficult to understand”
