Tw: pregnancy; mention of a graphic injury but no details; mention of spanking

I think I took a lot of liberties with bonds and óswanë.

According to Tolkien, elves choose when they beget children, but I’m playing a little loose with the concept. Elves choose to beget a child, but are not always immediately successful. Also, symptoms show much like a human pregnancy.

I meant to write down a draft of thoughts and then go to bed, but it got away from me and I started and finished it instead. Whoops. XD

“Haldir!” You smile happily at your husband coming out of the washroom as you set the basket of flowers on the table. “Welcome home at last.”

Haldir stands in the doorway, freshly washed and in a clean pair of leggings, his hair falling in loose strands down his shoulders as it just begins to dry. His hand is frozen on the doorframe and his eyes are wide in the unnaturally pale skin of his face.

“Oh.” You smile softly and place a hand on the swell of your stomach.

“I thought-” His eyes are locked on your movement. “I thought it didn’t- it didn’t take.” His voice is hoarse and his hand is shaking.

“I know. Neither did I, at first.” You say, watching him. He’s as unstable as you’ve ever seen him since your wedding night.

As if to prove your point, he stumbles forward and collapses to his knees at your feet, hands coming up to cup your stomach, easily spanning the width. Wonder and shock fill his eyes.

His gaze hasn’t left your abdomen since he walked into the room, rapt with attention. His breaths are shaky.

“Mine?” He asks then blinks as he realizes the absurdity of the question, shock scrambling his thoughts. You tilt your head back to laugh.

“Yes.” You grin and card your other hand through his silver hair, “yours.”

He tilts his forehead to touch your stomach, but can’t seem to close his eyes. Like if he looks away, you and your bump will disappear.

“How long?”

He shakes his head, as if to dispel webs long left by Mirkwood’s dark spiders.

“Five months.” He murmurs to himself and lets out a trembling breath. He runs his thumbs down the sides of your stomach and shakes his head, adoration singing through your bond.

His eyes suddenly snap to yours, worry evident.

“Five months. Five months, Meleth, why didn’t you say anything? Had I known I would’ve never left.”

“Ah.” You breathe out, tears suddenly welling up the corners of your eyes and spilling over.

“Oh, meleth.” He murmurs with a slight frown, your difference in height makes it easy for him to reach up and brush them away with a tender touch.

You shake your head, trying to get him to understand. “No, no. It’s not. Im not - it’s just that. We both thought that it didn’t work and then by the time I realized that it did, it was only a week until you were supposed to come home so I figured I’d give you the surprise in person. But then-,” you pause to wipe more tears away, overcome by emotion.

Haldir’s frown deepened, “But then Teli’en.”

You nod as his hand moves to rub soft circles on your arm, the other doing the same on your stomach.

“But then Teli’en basically got bisected and their whole patrol had to come in due to injury so pretty much everyone got extended until the far out patrols on the Eastern side returned for relief.

And I just figured that that I might as well wait because you couldn’t come back anyways. You-you couldn’t! There wasn’t anyone else since you were already short and and- I I’m sorry. I just didn’t want to distract you and worry you and I I should’ve said something, meleth, I’m so sorry.” You choke out, sobs wracking your form, surprised at how much worry and stress you had been holding back over the last few months.

Haldir hushes you gently before picking you up into his arms and moving you both to the couch. He cradles you to his bare chest and rocks you in his arms, pressing soothing kisses to your temple while whispering soft endearments as your sobs slowly calm down and stop.

“Sweet wife. Oh, my sweet, silly wife.” He murmurs and tilts your head up to meet his with a finger under your chin. He kisses you softly, holding your face between his hands.

“How could you ever think I’d be angry with you?” He asks gently and presses another kiss to your lips.

“Sweet wife,” he repeats and presses your foreheads together, eyes locking with yours while he begins to stroke your stomach, hand over top of yours.

“I love you. I’m not angry.” He says honestly, “I’m unhappy with the loss of time with you and our little one, but you’re correct in that I wouldn’t have been able to leave post. But please,” he adds, begging. “Please tell me in the future. I would not lose this.”

“I will. I- I’m sorry. I will.” You whisper, clinging to his hand on yours. You lean closer to him and press kisses to his jaw. “I promise.”

“Good.” He says kissing back before raising an eyebrow at you. “Lest I take you over my knee for risks to your health. I don’t think spanking my pregnant wife,” - his breath hitches - “is the safest thing either.”

You flush deeply and press back against his hands.

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Marchwarden,” you reply breathlessly.

His eyes darken and he uncharacteristically growls, “Reckless minx. Do not test me today.”

“No?” You giggle, but settle willingly.

“Come here then,” you say.

“I want to show you something.”

As you take his other hand in yours and place it over your heart, you kiss him deeply and open your bond with him.

You barely register his moan as you’re suddenly consumed with Haldir. The taste of him on your lips, his mind melding with yours, his hands on your skin, and the scent of him flooding your senses. The sweet, pungent scent of musky Mallorn in the autumn rain, the parchment covering his desk, and the leathers he rides to battle. Haldir, your husband.

The soon to be father of your child.

Hello, mela. He whispers along the edges of your mind for the first time in months and whimper, clinging to him. It’s ridiculous to think you denied yourself of this. Of him. How foolish of you to think this was the better option.

But you know you’d always settle for some loneliness if it meant he returned home safe to you every time.

Hello, husband. Let me show you our daughter.

He chokes but before he can react you’re pulling him into the fresh bond you’ve built with the new life in your womb.

She’s small still, to be sure. There’s another seven months left of growing and of bonding left before she’s ready to meet the rest of the world, but she’s there.

As you connect yourself more fully to your daughter, you string the bond between her and Haldir, binding them together and in your family unit. Formerly two, now of three.

Your daughter’s weak fëa dances between yours and Haldir’s, delight and safety ringing clear in your minds.

Hello, little one. He reaches out towards her and she sings stronger to him.

You smile up at Haldir only to realize that he’s sobbing, head against your stomach, and tears tracking down your skin. His hands are clutching you so tightly that the skin is stretched white over his knuckles, yet his touch so gentle that you feel no pain.

“Oh, meleth.” You brush his hair out of his face and he kisses your fingers, unable to stop his tears.

“I wasn’t sure when you asked for children. I thought surely this dying world is no place for such innocence and joy to live in. That we best wait for when we sail.”

“Oh, Haldir. My sweet ellon.” He stops you, shaking his head.

“I was wrong. To think that I would forsake this” his voice trembles, “in my fears and anguish. No, my sweet love. You have given me the happiest moment of my existence and I am so grateful for you and our our daughter. I could not imagine life without either of you, surely.”

You’re crying again now too, pressing kisses to his hair. How lucky you were to have this elf as your husband. How proud you were.

Your voice is rough with emotion when you ask, “What will you name her?”

Haldir looks floored. “That is your honor, not mine.”

You shake your head. “I will decide her mother’s name later. Give me her name, husband. Give me your daughters name.”

Suddenly an image unfolds in your mind: the last night he was home. Both of you laid out on a blanket beneath the stars, your hands entwined together in the grass as Haldir takes you again. His thrusts gentle, but unrelenting as you both meld your fëas and plead your case to the stars above. Asking, hoping, praying for a new life to bloom within you.

This is surely your daughters begetting night.

“Eleniel.” His voice is hushed. “Eleniel, daughter of the stars.”

You blink back tears and nod. “Eleniel then. Her name and her fëa are known.”

“Eleniel.” He whispers again, in awe.

He laughs and kisses you gently.

“She is known.”

Hi, i was wondering if i could request a Natemare x reader with the prompts:

Angst:

Fluff:

6

7

10

11

18

24

I understand if its too much or something but i was thinking, Mare gets into a bad place mentally or something happens to the reader (or both?) and starts questioning if the reader (femme pronouns please) actually loves him but she shows that she does and they fall back together after some mutual pining? (Im a sucker for mutual pining and just falling so completely in love with someone) ty ty ^-^

Also protective and cuddly Mare has my WHOLE entire heart, hes so PRECIOUS

Ty ty ^-^

~ ^-^ anon

So there were a lot of prompts here XD I couldn't figure out how to get Mare to say them ALL so some of them, you say to him. Prompts are also super out of order, to form a more coherent story. I have also bolded all the quotes so you know when and where those prompts are :3

Thank you so much for requesting, I'm sorry it took so long to get around to >.> But I hope it was worth the wait!

Tw; angst and some swearing but it all turns into fluff

For some reason…Mare was acting differently. You’d been together for months, and were friends for even longer before that. You couldn’t explain it, but he seemed…empty. He smiled, yes. But it never reached his eyes. When you would go in for a hug, he’d stop you. He wouldn’t even kiss you! That was the biggest key in that something was horribly wrong. 

He was who knows where, and you were sitting at home trying to think of what to do. It had been a couple days since you saw him, and not so much as a text. You’d been hiding away in your home, wondering if you did something wrong. You wanted to help him if he was struggling, but you couldn’t if he didn’t tell you why he’s been so distraught. 

Deciding to send a text, you made up your mind and took a few minutes to figure out what you wanted to say. ‘Hey Mare…you know you can tell me anything right? Are you okay? It’s been days…I’m worried about you.” It was simple, but maybe he was just stressed? You hoped he’d be alright, but if anything you wanted to be there for him. 

Throughout the day, you sent him a couple more texts. All met with silence. Something was definitely up, and you were determined to get to the bottom of it. Even after a few calls, you were met with nothing each time. One last time ‘If you’re busy that’s fine…but I know something’s wrong. Please talk to me?” You almost wanted to cry, not out of your own sadness. But out of love. Because the one who had your heart was going through something big and you didn’t know what. 

Your phone buzzed, and you quickly checked to see it was Mare. However…it wasn’t his usual dorky or even flirty self. He usually sent you paragraphs at a time, and several messages at once. This one was short and cold. 

‘Stop texting me.’ 

You were baffled. Thoughts flooded and you worried about every possible thing that could be wrong. Did you do something? Something to make him this upset? But…everything was so good a couple days ago. Before he practically ghosted you out of nowhere. This was so random, you couldn’t even think of anything that might have made him upset. It was only more worrisome. 

‘You make it sound like I don’t care…But I love you.” Was the response you sent. Maybe your words would help him, and make him realize you’d always be there for him. His response was instant. As if he’d been waiting to say those words. 

‘No you don’t! Stop the fucking mind games!’ 

This time you really did cry. He was being so harsh, but why? A deep breath and you stopped your tears. Crying wouldn’t help in this situation. You had to get to the bottom of this. If you could help even a tiny bit, it’d be worth it. 

‘Come over. Talk to me. We need to figure this out.’ Was what you sent. You didn’t know if he’d read it. Given how cruel his words sounded, you half believed he was completely done with you. You didn’t want to think that way, but your overthinking brain couldn’t come up with other possibilities. Just thinking of the worst scenario. 

However only moments later, a familiar wave of smoke passed through your room’s door. Then Mare was standing in front of you with an expression on his face that can’t be described as anything but hateful. It made you recoil back, but you knew sometimes he needed some tough love. So you tried to look tougher than you felt. 

“Well? What?” He almost growled, but he reeled himself back a bit. “What do you want?” There was venom laced in his words, and you started to become even more confused. 

“What’s wrong? You’re being hateful and I don’t understand why…if I did something wrong please tell me.” Your eyes were filled with concern, but that only seemed to make him angrier. 

He started to reach out, but he stopped himself. “It sucks because as much as I want to hate you…” He looked away, and went from looking angry to defeated. He looked at you after several seconds and finished, “I can’t.” He approached you this time, and pulled you close. 

He buried his face in your neck and sighed. “No one’s ever made me feel this way before…” He pulled back and put his forehead against yours. His look was finally back to something aside from anger. “It…scares me.” Mare confessed, and wrapped his arms around you. “Everyone expects so little from me and thinks I’m worthless, but you make me want to prove them different. Show them they’re wrong.” 

You hugged him, and kissed his nose. He did the adorable thing he always did, and wiggled his nose a bit at the action. “You already are so much bigger than the people who say you’re less…you’re kind, you care about the world and the people in it. Well…most of them.” You winked to try and lighten the mood and he let out a chuckle. 

He looked terrified after he laughed and he pulled back. “I…I shouldn’t have said all that. Shit…SHIT!” Mare wasn’t used to opening up about insecurities in any way, and a lot of people would believe he didn’t have any. You knew different, you always have. “I…have to go.” He turned around, but you reached out faster and grabbed his hand. 

“Stay…please?” It almost sounded like a whine, but you didn’t care. You needed him here with you. “I missed you…I want to talk. Help you figure out anything you can. And let you know I’m here for you no matter what. Anything you’re going through…we’ll get through…together.” When he turned back towards you he was met with the kind smile he loved to see on your face. 

“What did I do to deserve you?” He tried to hide it, but tears welled up in his eyes. “I can’t provide for you like I want to…I’m practically useless to you. You should expect better from me, and you deserve that but I…can’t help it.” Without even realizing it, he squeezed your hand back tightly. He was so scared to let you go. “I don’t deserve to love you.” 

You tilted your head, and smiled at him, guiding him to look into your eyes. “Why can’t you love me with no strings attached?” He looked shocked and you continued, “Without expectations. Without guilt, or worry, or insecurities. If I say I love you…and you love me…fuck the world. We have each other. Forget all the bad shit they say about you, and listen to your heart.” You gained a small bashful smile, “If your heart wants me then that’s all that matters.” 

He looked away again, only to be guided back to you, “There’s better people out there…I love you so fucking much, but I don’t get how you can love me. I can’t offer anything-” Mare started when you cut him off. 

“I don’t care. I love you and only you.” You held both his hands, and looked at him with determination in your eyes. “I don’t believe that there’s better people. You think you don’t offer me anything? Happiness. Something most important to almost everyone out there. You make me happy. More than anyone else in the world.” At his soft gaze, you smiled. It was the kind of smile that made him want to smile too. 

So he did, and he responded in a whisper, “I’ll never get tired of seeing you. Everything you do…I love it. You’re my everything. My world.” He meant every word, he felt almost silly for having such a mental spiral, knowing it could have been prevented had he just got over his pride and talked with you. He should have known better, but it seemed like his fatigue was starting to show. 

He sighed, and looked away from you briefly only to return his gaze. Mare almost shuffled in his spot, and decided to pull you into that deep and warm hug that he always did. Without meaning to at all, he yawned into your shoulder. You did notice him looking tired, but figured whatever was bothering him was keeping him awake. Now that you knew, you giggled softly and pulled back. He whined, and pouted at you once he could see your face. 

“Tired?” It was technically a question, but sounded a whole lot more like a statement. “Haven’t been able to sleep?” You looked at him sympathetically and cradled his cheek with your hand and rubbed under his eyes where the dark bags had formed. It was impossible to hide your worry, but it was far overshadowed by the care and love that was directed right at this man you loved. 

He leaned into your hand, and nuzzled it lightly as he shut his eyes. “I…sleep better when you’re in my arms.” It was a confession of sorts, and you knew it could be terrifying to say. Sometimes he was scared to make confessions that would make him look “weak” when he was already being vulnerable. 

You weren’t going to make him ever feel bad for confiding in you, so you grabbed his hand and led him towards the bedroom. He followed, and you wordlessly laid down with Mare. He pulled the blankets over you both, and let out an adorable yawn. He snuggled in close to you, and you heard him let out a big sigh of contentment. “I can’t believe…you actually want me.” It wasn’t in a negative or sad tone, he was just making a statement at this point. 

“Mare…you’re all I’ve ever wanted. I’ll be here for and with you, through everything. I mean it.” You leaned more against him, and pressed kisses across his arms as they wrapped around you. “I’ll prove it to you…over time. But for now…you need some sleep.” You giggled, as you held each other as close as you possibly could. 

It wasn’t long before you were almost asleep, yourself. It was just so comforting to be in his arms again. Though after a moment, he leaned close to your ear and whispered, “Thank you for never giving up on me.” You weren’t sure if he was intending to say that while you were awake or not, but it didn’t matter. Either way, you heard it. 

“I won’t give up on you. Not for a million years.”

HAPPY ONE YEAR<33

A fic inspired by Memories by Conan Gray with our kazzle dazzle?

(yes ik im very obsessed with him XD)

thank you so so much<33

Memories- Kaz Brekker

Hi! Thank you so much for this request, and being obsessed with Kaz is valid! I don't blame you for it honestly! 

Also, I’m really sorry that this came out so late! You sent this for my one year event and I’ve realized my mistake in that of planning a one year while I swamped with school back in April. Your other requests for the event will very likely be out by the end of the month, and again, I’m so sorry for not writing this sooner!

Fic type- angst

Warnings- heartache and heartbreak are the focus of this fic

Yours and Kaz's relationship had always been complicated. There was never anything simple about it, really. It was something that very few understood, that nobody really tried to make sense of.

But, as you stood on the edge of Fifth Harbor, waiting for the boat that'd take you to Ravka, you wished that he could stay in your memories, which was the one place you felt he belonged.

You were eighteen, waiting for the boat that you hoped would take you to new beginnings after two and a half years of on-off complexity. You kept an ear open for the sound of his cane clicking against the ground and found it wasn't there. It was as much a relief as it was the reason you found that you could almost feel your heart cracking in two.

Two and a half years of your life, gone. Wasted. Wasted trying to love the borderline unloveable, putting up with every break that Kaz initiated. You were to go to Ravka, work with Nikolai and thank Zoya for the job she’d managed to get you. You were going to leave Kaz in your memories, and as thrilling as that was, it also brought about a painful, dread-filled sort of heartache. 

You stopped yourself, stilling as a beat of summer breeze brushed past, as the sound of the waves against the boats while they docked registered. The only good thing to do was end it, to make the break something more permanent than the other ones. 

“I have to let this go,” you whispered. “Once I get to Ravka, I’m going to completely forget about this. I need to put well dressed mafia men behind me.” 

A few minutes later, the boat docked and you boarded. It took a week to get Ravka, but once there, you settled in easily. You unpacked your clothes, looked at the photos that you’d brought with a heavy heart. 

And then, somehow, you moved on. The thoughts of Kaz Brekker grew farther and farther apart, and then eventually, somehow, you stopped thinking of him at all. 

Two years later, as you inhaled the cool Ketterdam air, you grinned. Part of you had died the you left, but that part only existed in your memories and that was where it was where it was meant to stay.

*hee offers the shot glass to (y/n) and both take a shot, laughing after

we're drinking this early on damn

we met through a mutual friend

i was brought as a wingman

i think you can guess how it went

[but how did you guys become a couple?]

we got closer after meeting and i think it was obvious to the both of us that we were interested in each other

yeah but it still took a lot in me to ask you out

he stuttered the first time he asked me on a date

did i?

*(y/n) laughs at the memory

you went "hey, so uh you wa-"

*hee cuts (y/n) off by squishing their cheeks

we don't need a reminder

*(y/n) swats his hand away

but it was cute, don't worry

*(y/n) pats his head making heeseung smile

[okay, how about we officially start the game now?]

*both nod and played rock paper and scissors to determine who gets to ask first, (y/n) wins

*(y/n) reads the card and chuckles

[was it love at first sight?]

it wasn't

like i said, i was supposed to be a wingman so in my head, they were already off limits

i don't believe in love at first sight so *(y/n) shrugs

[do you have/did you have doubts with us being together?]

goddamn *(y/n) drinks

*heeseung is wide-eyed

no honey, not like that, i will answer, it's just that i need the alcohol boost

*the shock goes away

i was about to shed tears not gonna lie

*(y/n) rolls their eyes

when i agreed to becoming heeseung's significant others, i had no doubts, i knew what i felt was true and i knew his was too. the doubts were mainly on myself?? like "what if he just wakes and he doesn't love me anymore" but everyday heeseung proves to me that that will never happen

*(y/n) smiles at heeseung

*heeseung looks away trying to hide the smile and blush appearing on his face and he takes a shot refusing to meet (y/n)'s eyes

*(y/n) picks up a card and laughs

[if i become a zombie and had to eat people to survive, would you stick by side?]

heeseung gets scared easily i don't think he will

but if it's you...

*(y/n) raises an eyebrow

wait let me think about this more clearly

*heeseung continues to think

omg just say no!

but it's you !!!

i know it's me but baby we both know you'll run the other way once i start to eat people

...... you still love me right?

yes heeseung, i still love you

*hee :D

okay! next question!

*he picks up a card and laughs

oh i like this one.

[would you date any of my friends?]

*(y/n)'s mouth drops in shock

*(y/n) ultimately decides to play with heeseung

i mean.. *(y/n) reaches for a shot

*the grin on his face disappears

yah!

*(y/n) bursts into giggles and takes a shot

yah~ !!

[would YOU date any of my friends?]

*hee's eyes narrows and takes a shot for revenge

*both laugh at their antics

the answer is no guys, i love his friends but they're pretty much like annoying siblings

sorry (y/n)'s friends, (y/n) is the only one for me

but i'm pretty sure someone who used to be in my circle would jump at the chance

really ?? who ??

*(y/n) gives the look

AH! -

*scene cuts as he says a name

moving on.

*(y/n) picks up a card and laughs

[do you wish i offered to pay for more dates?]

MAN I WISH I COULD PAY MORE ON DATES

i like paying for our dates, but arguing with them is hard

yeah there was one time we spent 10 minutes bickering about who will pay, so we just made an agreement

we take turns per month, like for this month i'm the one paying for all the dates, then on the next month (y/n) will be paying

but everytime it's his month, he always tries to go out a lot, and when it's my month he opts to stay in

hehe

hEHE ??

*heeseung picks up a card and reads the question intently

*he is in deep thought

what is it?

[will you agree to an open relationship?]

ohhh

open relationship is when it's okay if you see other people right?

yup and i don't think i'd agree to it. you?

me as well

sorry im selfish, heeseung is mine, i do not share ;)

*heeseung laughs

yeah, sorry it's not for me, i don't think i can stomach seeing another one hold (y/n) , find your own

*(y/n) raises glasses to cheers and both take a shot

[it's okay not to drink if you answer]

yeah we know

but it's free alcohol

and drinking makes it more fun

*they hi-five

okay! next question,

[if i had to move away for many years, would you wait for me?]

yes.

wow no hesitations

yes i would wait for you

*(y/n) :O

yes

okay we get it

*they laugh

but i will, you're worth waiting for

your patience says otherwise

are you doubting my ability to wait?

do you hear yourself when you're playing?

that's with games, you're not a game, you're not something i play

*(y/n) blushes making heeseung laugh

shut up okay i get it

i also do not actually trust my patience

SEE ?!

*heeseung bursts out laughing

so instead of waiting i'd probably just go to them and/or visit them a lot

or just move in with me

*(y/n) avoids heeseung's stare

is this still related to the question or the present

huh? *(y/n) acts clueless

WAIT-

*camera cut

*we see both of them sporting a blush with big smiles on their face, and the alcohol evidently lessened

[freestyle! ask any question you want]

wah, i don't know what to ask

*he is thinking, everybody shut up

just keep it simple

no i want it to be hard

i can just actually follow the rules and drink instead of answering

*hee pouts

no you won't

*(y/n) :P

okay!

[did you like ... when we first met?]

oh the 'friend'?

yeah

*(y/n) drinks

*heeseung :O

*(y/n) xD

no heeseung, i did not like them, i really just saw them as a friend

ohh ouch sorry buddy

*they share a laugh

oh it's the last one

[question for both: what does loving each other feel like?]

awww that's a cute one, i'll go first

loving heeseung feels like the comfort your favorite songs bring you. it feels like the excitement you get whenever your favorite show releases a new episode. it's the deep sigh in content you release whenever you smell your favorite scent. it's just, loving him feels like everything your favorites make you feel.

*heeseung is not tearing up, definitely not, that's just sweat, he is also 100% not blushing, it's just hot

*he takes a shot and (y/n) laughs at his antics

now how am i supposed to beat that?!

let me be more romantic gosh

respectfully, no.

*both laugh

okay uhh, loving (y/n) feels like riding a rollercoaster. from all the emotions while waiting in line to exiting the ride. loving them is like the feeling of hitting a high note you previously couldn't. it's winning multiple prizes at the arcade. loving (y/n) is like the softness of a sunrise and the absolute wonder in staring at a night sky.

*(y/n) takes a shot not even bothering to hide their blush

why are we so cheesy and poetic when we're intoxicated damn

*heeseung laughs and agrees

forgive us if we're cringey

not our fault you're single

heeseung! :O

*he stays unapologetic

and that's it!

thank you for having us~

bye~

Apocalypse Emster (by @cats-in-boots)

(Mentions of suicide. Some angst, attempted fluff. Fluffy Emster is hard to write. DX)

 

Prompt: Write a post-apocalyptic romance.

 

Emmi carrying her backpack, full of supplies from the last store she searched. She managed to find enough supplies to fill her backpack to the brim, but she still needed a place to sleep for the night. As it turns out, you can’t sleep in the same place for a long time without risking raiders finding you. Even without raiders though, she was on a mission. Prior to the apocalypse, Emmi had to be separated from Gaster and the boys while on a business trip with political figures. Being a known pro-monster activist lead to a busy life, but Emmi wouldn’t have it any other way.

While on the trip, she had gotten held up in traffic. There was a panic, but she couldn’t understand what the fuss was about. Why were people running and screaming? That’s when she saw it from across the street; a woman chased a man and sunk her teeth into his neck before ripping out his flesh. Emmi watched the world of humans around her fall into chaos as people lost it. The zombie apocalypse was here, and without time to prepare. She needed to leave. She made a U-Turn in the street and drove off. She sweated nervously as her heart sunk in a realization.

She forgot her phone at home.

Home was a long way from here. Sure, her car had a built-in GPS, but if things were as bad, could it be possible that Gaster is in trouble, too? What if Gaster went to go find her? How was she ever going to find him if they were both trying to find each other at the same time? The sweat on her neck had gone cold. There was no way she could make it back home with the amount of fuel she had. The day may be have been young, but she couldn’t stay in one place for too long if the virus spread as quickly as she thought it did.

Emmi took a moment to stop walking and set down her backpack. Her shoulders were tired, and she needed to rest anyways. She sighed. Her mission was to find Gaster and the boys. Every day she spends away from them, the lower the likelihood of her finding them and the lower the likelihood of them being alive. It’s not like they could get infected, but they can still be dusted by an aggressive infected human who stumbles upon them. Emmi hears a gunshot. Day One of the infection was rough, with plenty of reasonable people taking reasonable shots, but after a month of infection? People really start to lose what makes them sane and civil; especially when everything is on the line.

Emmi hides in the shadows, wanting to investigate what the sound was but not wanting to risk being found first. She has an awful lot of stuff and it’d be a shame to lose it all to a raider. Emmi carefully creeps down the street, seeing infected wander the street more openly to investigate the sound with her. Maybe this was a bad idea. Emmi makes a turn on a motel building wall and sees someone run into a room. She noticed a flash of ivory white on the figure. “Wait…!” Emmi exclaims. Is she deceived?

Emmi runs to the parking lot, tripping over something before she gets there. A freshly shot corpse is there. Judging solely by appearance, this is probably a raider. They look bitten on the neck, but that doesn’t seem to look like how they died. Emmi sees a handgun in their hand. They must have shot themselves, then. But why?! Emmi sees undead looking at her, running towards the poor girl. She screams in surprise when she’s nearly grabbed by an infected, dodging and throwing her backpack over the motel wall and flying up.

While in the air, she sees the backpack was caught by a flight of stairs going up the motel. She flies over to the motel stairs and takes the backpack, running up the stairs with the backpack as she tries to make it where she saw the figure. She makes it to the fourth floor, undead chasing her as she runs by the doors on the fourth floor. She makes it to the figures door and knocks aggressively. “Help! Please, open up!” Emmi practically screamed as she saw zombies running towards her location. It was he either open the door or she has to ditch her backpack to fly to safety. Her wings weren’t strong enough to carry her while she flew. The door unlocks and opens enough for Emmi to be pulled in by skeletal hands.

The door is closed and locked as infected people slam against the door. Emmi looks up to see Gaster, but she sees Papyrus instead. Sans looks at Emmi with surprise and Gaster is quick to desummon his attacks as he gives Emmi a good look.

“Emmi? What are you doing here?!” Gaster asks as Sans joins Emmi and Papyrus in a family reunion hug.

“I-I thought I saw you! And I did! You’re here!” Emmi breaks the hug with Sans and Papyrus to hug Gaster, but he refuses and holds her back with blue magic.

“You thought? Were you not paying attention to how many there were out there?! That was a huge risk for thinking you saw me!” Gaster scolds.

“It was a risk to just let you leave! Do you have any idea how long I’ve been looking for you?” Emmi asked, a little heartbroken at the scolding.

“You could have waited until the area was clear! You’re lucky Papyrus didn’t listen to me or Sans, or you could’ve—” Gaster tears up, hand shaking as he releases her from his blue magic.

“Gaster…”

“You could’ve gotten bit. What would I have done then? Endlessly look for you without knowing that it was MY fault you got infected? Emmi, you really need to—You’re so— honestly, why do I even—”

“Shh, shh. Relax. I’m okay. I’m not infected, Papyrus let me in, and I’m here.” Emmi hugs the sad skeleton, offering her presence as forgiveness for her irrationality.

 Sure, it was a fault in her logic to assume that white meant Gaster, but at least she was here now, right?

“Reckless woman.”

“Your reckless woman.” Emmi gave him a kiss on the cheekbone while in the hug. Gaster nuzzles her neck, magic tears having dried but the worry still hanging.

“so, are we going to get to hug mama too, or…?”

“SANS! THEY’RE HAVING A MOMENT!”

“but shouldn’t we also get to hug them? he’s not the only one who missed her.”

“WELL… THAT’S TRUE, BUT ONLY IF THEY’RE OKAY WITH IT! AHEM!”

Papyrus confidently strides towards the couple. “MOTHER! CAN ME AND SANS HUG YOU, TOO?” Papyrus taps on your shoulder, getting a glare from Gaster as he proceeds to hug tighter.

“Of course. I miss you all.” Emmi gives a smile from over Gaster’s shoulder.

As Papyrus is about to hug Emmi, Gaster gives him a light push back with blue magic. “No, she’s mine.”

“Gaster!”

“They can wait five more hours.”

“Be reasonable.”

“That is reasonable.”

Emmi huffs. Stupid, cuddly skeleton.

“Love you, Gaster.”

“I love you too.”

~~~

OK FIRST OF ALL IM SO SORRY I NEVER POSTED THIS I FEEL SO BAD.......

second of all I LOVE THIS?? This is a SUPER cool concept, and I absolutely love that Gaster didn't want to let her go at the end there XD Let her hug her sons!!!!

I also love that you took advantage of her having wings within the narrative, but still gave them limits! That was a really neat touch.

Absolutely wonderful work!

Ive been doing pretty good at keeping up in the game I think. I’m ar45, probably more like 47 by now, I haven’t felt confident enough to do the acension thingie. I just got some good rolls on yoimiyas banner! I felt really really tempted to wish lately, and I must’ve reached soft pity or something because I got Jean, my second five star! I wished a bit more and also got diona! Getting characters makes me really glad. I’m trying to build diona so she can be my healer instead of Barbra. I’m sorry barbie, but two healers, a four and five star? mihoyos telling me something (besides spend more money).

im sort of up to date with the archon quests? I finished a while back now and I’ve done a few Inazuma archon quests, but I have yet to do all of them. I’m a little worried on whether I did something wrong…? I’ve only met yoimiya and I don’t finish her archon question but it looks like now There aren’t any more archon quests queued, so idk what’s happening there. I’m probably jus5 forgetting something. im not super crazy about any of the new Inazuma characters tbh though, at least not the playable ones- I love Kazari. Baal is pretty but im more of an appreciator than a simp.

wish me luck getting Dionas artifacts, Ill need it.

-🐗boar anon

Not me taking a year to answer this :’) as usual

It’s ok! I literally took like 2 months? I hit AR40 forever ago on accident and then just waited til I got to 45. I probably took longer lol

Honestly same! I don’t even want Yoimya and I already got Sayu >,< yet I still wanna roll so I really gotta hold back for Baal cuz I also kinda want Kujou Sara >:0

Make a full team of healers lmao you can’t dir xD do you have Bennett yet? O:

Oh yeah, for that I got confused too! You have to finish Yoimiya’s quest line & Ayaka’s to be able to continue the archon quests. I’m notorious for not doing the character quests >,< haven’t even done Zhongli’s yet bc I just don’t care lmao so they really forced me to do this one

O: so you could probably skip all the upcoming banners? Is there a character you really want?? You could always save for a rerun ^w^

YOU GOT THIS!! >:0 GOOD LUCK💖

[zuffer-weird-girl]

hey sorry to be a bother but, do you think you can write a scenario with kai's s/o going to pick up kaito and haru from school? since they're mafia kids I'm sure they aren't treated the best, even by parents. how do you think a hormonal and pregnant angel would deal with the rudeness of others towards her son and haru who's practically her mom. tbh I feel like haru would slip up and call her mom one of these days XD

I woke up in the mood of beating someone up so yeah sure :v

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luckily Chisaki allowed you to get out of the house without a body guard for once this time.

Him and the eight precepts had some... business to take care of, so neither hin or even Kurono could get to that school and pick your deviant and Haru.

You didn't mind it though, so you simply put on some shoes, with certain difficulty due to your baby belly but whatever, and got out of the house.

You were starting to notice the judgmental or even pitiful stares already from other parents as you walked on that place... and you honestly weren't in a good mood.

Your first pregnancy were full of deadly kicks from your baby boi; but this one? You were a storm of emotions.

Seriously, just yesterday you cried in your husband shoulder because you saw Chrono killing a bug.

"They had a family Kai!" You whined while he let out a irritated sigh and patted your head.

"They didn't. Those things arent like us. Im sure of it." He answered coldly and winced a bit when you let out another sob and almost crushed his chest.

Yeah... you werent exactly the most instable person on your first few months... at least it was getting a bit controlled when the time passes and after the medication, based on plants dont worry, that Chisaki had created.

Thank heavens for giving your husband to you because dear lord not even you were atturing yourself anymore.

"Mommy!" "Mrs Chisaki!"

Both kids voices broke you out of your thoughts as you smiled down at them.

"Hey you two!" You cooed, patting Kaito's head while he went for a hug while greeting Haru with a sweet smile "Ready to go?"

"Yep. This place stinks." Kaito answered numbly while taking your hand while Haru walked real close to your side.

You were just getting out of the gate before your ears catched something that left your blood boiling in absolutely anger and hate.

"Those two are the yakusa thugs?"

"Yeah, better keep a eye on those little shits. The boy is even the child of the leader himself."

"Overhaul? Tsk. Rascal hhas the features. I figure it, while the little bitch is from his commurate or something."

"Is incredible how the school allows those things to frequent!"

Your eye twitched violently as you clenched your jaw. Your son made a confused noise when you suddenly stopped and looked up at you with stoic eyes yet qorry evidently on his voice.

"You're okay mommy?"

"Is something wrong Mrs Chisaki?" Haru tugged at your shirt with a frow, before you shook your head a bit to pur on a smile.

You lushed the kida in your front and made them get up on a bench tk talk with them eye to eye.

"Kiddos. No matter what happens, do not ever imitate my actions. Got it?" You kissed your son's forehead and patted Haru's hair, careful with the arrows, and told them to wait in there a bit since those people weren't much away.

"Mom?" Kaito mumbled a bit aprehensive for being left all of the sudden.

You walked, still a forced smile on your face, before poking one of the woman's shoulder delicately.

"Excuse me?" You said gently, making the woman turn her head a bit.

Perfect.

You punched her hard on the face, making her fell on the ground merciless.

"WHAT THE-?!"

"One nore word spilling from ANY of you that I am giving you all a reason to fear THE YAKUSA." You said with emphasis while the other two woman helped their friend to get up.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" She shouted while the other comforted her friend's tears.

"Me?" You muttered coldly, your eyes piercing at each one of them "I am one who is wrong? I don't remember EVER speaking bad about your sons or their friends..." you lowered your tone of voice.

Many years marriage with chisaki kai teached you the tricks for making someone scared to death.

"Next time, think about who exactly you're talking about. Seriously, how many years do you have to be speaking like that about two childs? This is just stupid." You turned your back, sending them one side glare "If I hear about any of you speaking about ANYTHING about my son or his friend... Im going to break your bones in half and then tell my husband to finish ths service." The womans quivered in fear while getting up "Are. We. Clear?"

Two of them nodded, but the woman you had pinched tried to attack you before you turned your front to her with a finger arched up, shaking him from side to side.

"Ah ah ah~" you said almost sadisticly "You wouldn't want to hurt a lregnant woman and got into the justice would you? And besides, speaking bad about toddlers isn't exactly... sociable accepted."

The woman stared at you for a few seconds before getting pushed by their friends away from you.

"Take that!" You flinched a bit at the two voices coming from your leg to notice Kairo smirking devilish qhile Haru poked her tongue out at them.

Oh boi...

Bonus:

"You got into a fight?!" Your husband almost shouted while he jumped from his coach and cupped his face while with his other hand subsconciously went to your stomach.

"Not exactly a fig-"

"Mommy punched a miss's face becaus eshe was speaking bad about me and Haru!" Kaito exclaimed woth shinning (E/c) eyes "It was so cool!"

"That huh?" Chisaki mumbled, morw relieved then before while pinching your cheek painfully "Dont ever force yourself like that woman, you're pregnant for God's sake." He growled as he pinched and pushed even more your cheeks.

"Come ooooonnn!!!" You whined, immediatly rubbing your sore cheeks when he let go with a scoff.

Your husband tsked while crossing his arms.

"Kaito go take a shower, you're filth." Kaito went to protest before Chisaki just gave him a look, making the kid grumble before he obbeyed anyway.

The moment the kid left, Kai took a black handkerchief from his pocket before yanking your wrist with his gloved hand and rubbing in your palm.

"I swear to fucking god you could get hurt." He muttered in anger while you let out a sigh.

"Thanks for worrying about me Kai. I love you too." You said in mockness, but also not lying.

The man only scoffed and continued on his cleaning, bit he couldn't hide it from you the way the point of his cheek were a bit pink.

Adorable.

-Finding Your Best Friend-

this bb would be the best-est friend you would have in this world

probably why you fell for him in the first place, but let's not get to ahead of ourselves

you guys met freshman year of high school

your guys' mutual friend Yunho is really the reason why

you just moved to town, and since said town was small, it was clear to you that everybody knew everybody else

you felt pretty lonely on the first day because of that

second day of freshman year is where is all started to come together

you were looking for a nice spot to sit and have your lunch outside because you didn't want to look like the weird loner person eating by themselves in silence

you found a pretty spot under a big tree near the track field, you put a random cool cake making tutorial on your phone and ate your lunch

the video was at a part where they were placing intricate designs in frosting all over the cake when you hear "Whoa, that is so cool!"

you jump about 3 feet in the air and immediately gather up your phone and get up to spin around to see who interrupted your quiet time

a young man, not sure his grade, with peach colored hair and a worried expression on his face, raises his hands in a surrender pose

'okay but what the hell was he doing, watching my phone behind the tree?'

well reader, we'll never know

"I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to scare you that bad! Really, I am so so so sorry!"

you, still in shock, just nod at him

now you're both just standing in front of each other

not saying anything

....well

this is awkward

"I-I'm Yunho...by the way."

you clear your throat, not sure why, nervous habit

"[Y/N].."

"So, uh... Haven't seen you around here before.."

once you explained you were new, and new to the town in general. There was no escape.

you were now best friends with the giant teddy bear and there was nothing you could do about it

yunho immediately took you under his wing and showed you around the campus. Then the town itself after school was out.

but Ro this seems to be turning into a yunho x reader fic/ bullet scenario

stfu I'm getting there

what did this turn into even

so now you and Yunho are bffs

enter giant teddy bear 2.0

you and yunho are hanging out at lunch, it's become a usual for the past two weeks

and Yunhos other bff is becoming sus about why Yunho hasn't been eating with him at lunch or doesn't seem to have as much time after school for him

that's when giant teddy bear 2.0 (if you don't know that its Mingi then idek-) finds his bestie with some random chick

a really adorable random chick

"So this is where you have been?"

you and Yunho start, not expecting someone to find your guys' spot

Also, deja vu, amiright?

"Oh, hey Mingi!" Yunho greets the tall dirty blonde haired teddy bear

And you're totally not sitting there thinking, 'holy shit, he is...wow.'

and that's how it all started

he stayed and introduced himself and you hit it off just as well as you and yunho did

maybe even better..

he started showing up everyday, at the what was dubbed 'The Cool Kids Spot™️' by you all, with yunho

even tho we all know you guys were NOT the cool kids

then it went to him being at the spot before everyone showed up

so he could see you first

then it turned into him meeting you up after class so you both could grab your food together and meet up Yunho at The Spot™️

before you could even realize it, he became your person

you were the first person he ran up to and hugged after him and Yunhos dance group took home 1st place at a competition

he was the first person you called when you were told that your poem won an award

you were the person he'd come to if he needed any kind of advice

and he was the first person you went to if you needed to get out of your head or your anxiety was getting to you

the high school years went by so fast

a lot changed

but what never changed was Mingi, he may have grown

and damn he grew

but he was your constant (and yes, yunho too, we can't forget yunho bro)

-Knowing They're The One-

high school came and went

Mingi and Yunho were accepted by a prestigious performing arts school

you, however, were going to just a regular college

luckily, both schools weren't terribly far from each other

which is why, instead of suffering in dorms, you and Mingi decided to get a apartment together, not far from both schools

yunhos ass stayed with his parents because they live like right next to the school, lucky hoe

you all still make time for each other

but you and Mingi prefer to stay in, order takeout and watch random stuff on YouTube

whenever you or Mingi went out it was always together (unless it was classes)

Grocery shopping? Together. Doctors appointment? Together. Girls night? Together. Guys night? Together.

"So, you must be suffering right now" his friend Yeosang said to him on a rare guys night that didn't involve you.

Mingi looked at Yeosang perplexed, ignoring whatever Wooyoung was talking to him about

"What are you talking about?"

"You and [Y/N] are literally always together, the fact she isn't here surprises me."

Mingi laughed. "We're not always together."

A cacophony of "LIES" and "BULLSHIT" filled the air as all of Mingi friends called him out on his bullshit

Mingi could feel his face heating up

"W-well, so what if we are! Were best friends AND roommates."

"And lovers~" his friend San whispered in his ear from behind and laughed, dancing away before Mingi could hit him

"We're not together!" Mingi exclaimed, rolling his eyes.

"But you want to be."

Mingi turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was Yunho, leaning against the entrance of the kitchen everyone was gathered in

He was looking at Mingi with a smirk

Mingi knew Yunho knew how he felt about you

and not because he told him

well...he kinda did

FLASHBACK TIME

it was your guys' high school graduation

more specifically, the night of, and you were all partying and yunhos house

celebrating the fact that you all were officially adults now

lol you thought

and what better way to celebrate that than with underage drinking

be safe kids, don't drink irresponsibly

and Mingi. Got. Wasted.

by the end of the night, he was crying (and maybe puked once or twice...) in Yunhos arms about how beautiful you were, and how amazing and talented you were

wouldn't shut up about how soft and perfect you feel in his arms when he hugs you or vice versa

"She is my soulmate." After every other sentence mentioning how perfect you are

but wait, where were you while Mingi was crying and puking you ask?

That night you met Yeonjun, who is now one of your closest friends

  at first, a friend of Wooyoungs, who you all became friends with junior year, along with his best friend San

Yeonjun, who went to a different school across town, was invited along by Woo and San

you and Yeonjun hit it off so well, drinking and laughing, and talking about how much he loves his boyfriend Soobin, and maybe you drunkingly going on about how amazing Mingi is

however, Mingi didn't know Yeonjun

and what he saw that night was you, enjoying your time with someone who wasn’t him, laughing at jokes that weren't his, hanging all over someone who could never know you as well as he did (and that totally wasn't the reason that Mingi drank like 2 bottles of straight vodka, not at all)

and at that moment

he knew

he fucked up

he was in love with you

OKAY END OF FLASHBACK

Mingi wasn't sure what to say

he could deny it sure, but he knew it was useless

not after every person in the room gave him a knowing smirk after Yunhos comment

“She doesn't-”

“Oh, whatever. you guys are literally already a couple. And dont even try to deny that. If she was here right now, she’d probably be on your lap and you two would be sitting in some corner of the house whispering some weird drunk lovey shit to each other.”

well...

Mingi really didn't have a argument for that

that night he came home sober

but you didn't know that until months later when he told you he wasn't actually drunk

anyways when he got home you were sitting in the living room

music playing away on YouTube while you type away on your laptop

you didn't hear him come in, softly singing along to the song under your breath

he stood there for a moment and just..looked at you

your hair was a mess

you had on the same clothes as yesterday

probably haven't done a skincare routine in months

you were the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life

he felt so much love swell in his chest

hes known it for a while now but at that moment all that was going on in his head was

“That’s my soulmate. I love her. I love her so much.”

“Hey.”

he wasn't sure if he had said it loud enough but apparently he had because you flinched and turned to see who the ‘intruder’ was

“Oh, Mingi! Shit, you scared me...” you laughed. “How was guys night?”

He made his was over to sit on the couch as you told him how your paper was coming along and then waited for him to answer your question

he sat for a good minute not saying anything

“Mingi?”

he looked at you

“you okay hun?” you asked, placing your hand on his cheek

and then he kissed you

it was so quick, you had no time to register that it was happening at all

and he left just as quickly

slamming the door to his bedroom and leaving you flustered and panicked

-So....Lovers?-

the morning after the kiss was the most awkward moment that you and Mingi had ever had

luckily it didn't last long at all

you two were silent, awkwardly making breakfast

then Mingi busted out with “Man, I’m so hungover! I barely remember anything from last night!”

“Do...do you remember anything from when you came home?”

“No, to be honest, I don't even remember coming home...”

-cue forced laughter-

-cue Mingi not trying to be disappointed when you looked relieved-

 he asked you if anything happened and tried not to feel sad about the fact you were going on about how nothing happened and he just came home and went to bed

why wouldn't you mention the kiss? maybe everyone had it wrong, you didn't feel the same. why else would you avoid it?

but everything went back to...normal

you two would cuddle every night on the couch

you showed up to every guys night like usual

(there may or may not have been more knowing smirks thrown Mingis way)

he showed up to the rare girls nights you'd have with your (like 2) girlfriends

(they literally just consisted of everyone chilling in some secluded spot and sparking up a blunt or two and bull-shittng)

but everything wasn't normal

because even though it lasted 0.0002 seconds long

Mingi cannot stop thinking about that kiss

neither can you for that matter

that's when you confided in your bestie Yeonjun

who knew all about your love for your other bestie

you went to Yeonjuns one Saturday afternoon without mingi

its been a month since the kiss and Yeonjun is only disappointed in the fact that you didn't tell him sooner

his solution was simple, just tell him how you feel

its so god damn obvious he feels the same

but who are you to do the simple thing right?

so what do you do?

you go with Soobins idea

and :) you:) go:) on:) a:) blind:) date:) with one of soobin and yeonjuns friends:)))))))

well

at least you were supposed to..

the night comes when you were supposed to meet at a nice cafe with their friend Beomgyu

you. were. lookin. FIRE BABY

slaayyyyy

you were in the kitchen grabbing your keys

and maybe prolonging the fact that your going out with someone who isn't MIngi

when Mingi walked out to heat himself up a noodle cup

and maybe one for you too because he didn't think you were going anywhere and was going to ask if you wanted to chill in his room and play mario kart

his jaw DROPPED when he saw you

he felt like he was just kicked in the gut, all breath left his lungs

and he may or may not have gotten an instant boner but-

he cleared his throat to get your attention

“You look...nice.” wow, Mingi, smooth

“O-oh, thanks, um... ill be back later okay?”

when Mingi asked where you'll be going and you said you had a blind date, he swears to this day he blacked out for a moment

next thing he knew he had you pushed against the counter

“Mingi-”

“No.”

“w-what..”

“You don't have a date.”

“But I do-”

then his lips were pressed against yours

and unlike the first, this one lasted a hell of a lot longer than 0.0002 seconds

it wasn't fireworks or butterflies or a sudden realization of unconditional love

it was rough and messy and filled with so many emotions including relief that your love for each other can finally blossom

you didn't say a word to each other when you parted

you stared at each other for a while, panting with big smiles on your faces

once your breathing returned to normal you gently pushed him back so you weren't pressed against the counter anymore

“I’m going to change in PJ's.”

Mingis smile lit up his whole face. “But I thought you had a date..”

“No, I don't.” you kissed his cheek and left to change.

-YES LOVERS FINALLY-

so you guys never really sat down and were like ‘hey so are we...?’

because you both knew you just....were

after that night you guys started acting like you had been dating for months

it was just like before

because of course, like always, Yunho was right

you guys already acted like you were dating

now kisses and a lot more were added to the mix

which just made everything 1000x better

everyone knew it was just a matter of time

you loved waking up to his arms wrapped around your waist and him softly snoring in your ear

he loved waking up to you peppering kisses all over his collar bones and neck

your loved bloomed♡

A/N pt2: Im sorry if the end seems so rushed as well, I started running out of steam and my mind blanked but I didn't want to prolong this and never post it...like i do with everything...

Thank you for reading!

would it be okay if i asked you to talk some more about qpps? i think i might have one but im nervous becuase i don't really understand how to tell. do you mind if i ask if your both poly? and how it affects your other relationships? doyour partners mind? is it hard to balance? (sorry if this is to personal, please ignor if it is)

Of course! I love to talk to about this subject haha. I’m sorry I took a while to get back to this, I had to check in with a few people before posting anything (and Crow and I had a full on existential crisis when we saw this question oop XD) Answers under the cut!! 

I guess the first thing is... QPP relationships are designed to offer a lot of space to self define your relationship. It’s specifically meant to give you an escape from other terms! The way Crow and I knew is... well, the way she put it is “You're the permanent relationship that I'd focus on keeping.” We don’t want to share each other, but we don’t want to stop each other from having other relationships... it’s just that we know this is the one that matters most. I want to know the people she dates and be friends with them, I just... also want to be loved in this specific special way and no one else.

We figured out what we were because... I don’t know! We met, we fell in love instantly as we fought over custody of internet children, we stayed up all night together because of insomnia. We made each other a priority. There was a time where she ghosted me for two months because of personal life things, and it happens to be one of my triggers (not that we knew that at the time). I freaked out, and when she came back online the first thing she did was make sure I was (we were) okay. That’s really important to me. We’ve gotten to a point where we trust each other to come back, and that’s huge for me, and that’s how I know she’s important. 

It’s hard to give you a checklist, but if this person is important to you and you like the term QPP, the best thing to do is use it! Or to try using it, I suppose. Talk to the person you like. Tell them, and ask what they feel, and how they want to define the relationship. It’s hard and scary, I know, I almost choked my heart as it jumped out of my chest when I told angel that I’d thought about dating her. It turned out really well for me (obviously, as you can tell :P ) and it might not for you, but you’ll at least have a chance to find closure and heal, and hopefully it will go well!

Personally, QPP sounds a little stiff for us. The word we settled on was starmates, which is this cute little portmanteau of our favorite metaphor (my love language :3 ) and soulmates, and that works for us. 

As for being poly... honestly, I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I’ve been thinking about it since I realized I was ace and realized I would be okay with my partner having another partner to have sex with because that sure as heck wasn’t gonna be me. 

For me... I ended up telling him from the very beginning that Crow was more important and was going to be more important, and he... was jealous for a while. It was something we had to work through because I was also jealous of his other partner, and we had to talk about it and figure out what our expectations were of each other. It’s really strange, honestly. I know that I have a lot more freedom to be with Crow the way I want to because people expect women to have best friends, and be really affectionate with them, and I also just don’t pursue relationships with people who are uncomfortable with me loving a lot of people, because I do and I don’t plan to deprioritize the people in my life who are important just because someone new came along. 

He knew well before we started anything that Crow was my person, and I think that helped. He also got to meet her and spend time with her and see how happy she made me, and he’s kind of a wonderful person and wants me to be happy, so that helped. There’s been a lot of talking and therapy and Crow’s been kept in the loop about everything, and so has he, and that works. Not everyone is going to be okay with it, and I’m secure enough to know I would choose Crow every time, and that’s good enough for me. I’m willing to wait. Not everyone is. All I can say is that I hope you’re able to find someone who works with what you need, and I hope you communicate, and that’s all you can do. Whatever you choose, it’s okay. 

He adds, “Everyone experiences jealousy, and ur not a bad person for feeling it. It's a thing that can be worked past if you believe it's important to do so, and the most important thing is to be able to admit to it and talk about it.” 

There’s also something to be said about people who just don’t get it, and some of them are going to want to understand and do their best to respect your boundaries, and some are not. There’s no way to know, and you just have to ask and try things and work it out. In my opinion, someone who’s not willing to let you have time with someone who makes you happy is probably not a person you want to keep, but I might be wrong! I don’t know specifics, after all. That said, negotiating how you spend time with your partners is important and valid, and not controlling as long as it’s an open discussion where both people’s input and needs are valued. 

...maybe I am poly. I don’t know!! Crow and I are... super unclear, like, are we inherently in a poly relationship now if we date someone? She says, “I haven't been in a relationship since we figured the qpp stuff out but I know you'd be more important.” (Way to make me melt on main I guess, wow babe :P, I say, making the active choice to include this comment.) I guess it’s up to us to identify as poly. I don’t think you need to just because you have a QPP or something, but you can! That option is available if you want it, and optional if you don’t. 

It can be hard to balance, but honestly? There’s always something in a relationship. If they care about you and you care about them, you’ll make it work, and if not, you’ll find out and get to a healthier place I hope. You just have to be willing and able to try, and communicate, and find ways to explain to people in ways that work for you. 

For what it’s worth, not every queer platonic relationship is like ours. She’s my most important person, but ultimately they’re just a friendship that matters a lot, and that can look like whatever you want. Someone you text one a month but love each other the whole day you spend together. Someone all you do is text memes to but you never want to stop. Someone you talk to every day and fall asleep on the phone to. QPPs are meant to give you space to define a relationship in your life in whatever way works for you, and what really defines the relationship is you, and communication with your potential QPP and any other partners you have. 

I’m really happy to answer more questions, or explain in more detail anything you’re wondering, or happy to have a conversation with you and help work things out. (If you want to come off anon and message me privately, that’s very very welcome, I promise, but no pressure!!) This is something I care a lot about and I’m really willing to be available as much as I can for someone who’s as confused about it as I was.

[dailydoseofbloggy]

Who do you think you are? a newbie blogger maybe-

Hey guys! 

Welcome to dailydoseofbloggy hehe 

The first thing i wanna put out there is that THIS is my first time ever writing a blog so I'm super duper nervous! I don’t even know what to write on here so pls excuse me for that lol. 

Now to who i am: 

I’m a 15 year old girl who is living in Islamabad, Pakistan. I’m currently doing the IBMYP programme from Headstart School Islamabad. So if you’re wondering what my name is then I’m sorry i can’t really reveal that now but i promise once i get a pro at blogging I’ll make another one of this revised intro. I don’t really enjoy writing because i do not know how to find the right word for how i am feeling. I don’t enjoy reading or writing. I love listening to songs, calling or hanging out with my friends, having fun time with my cousins and car rides with my favorite people. AND HOW COULD I FORGET TRAVELLING!! oops please excuse me for starting my sentence with AND i hope no English teacher reads it xD. 

I honestly don’t even know why I’m here writing a blog while I should be studying for my CIEs which are in like 3 months?? So if you want to know WHY i am currently writing a blog then here. I was watching this show called “ Chicken Girls” ( it sounds childish but it’s not at all childish, i guarantee you!) so in the 4th season there is a young girl who’s a sophomore who becomes the editor in chief for the newspaper club and before that she would write articles and latest gossip going on. Since then i got so inspired that first i wanted to write a play and film it, or a story but then while i was going through all these websites i found out that there’s this website called tumblr where you could anonymously post blogs. SO after that, i was searching what blogs were HUH that took a long time, but I guess it was worth every second?? 

So, if you’re wondering what type of content I’ll write about then the answer is pretty straightforward but let me put it out here that I’m super duper indecisive so if i can’t just choose 1 topic or i won’t even be able to choose between 3-4 options. 

You can find this type of content here: 

School pressure: 

since i am doing IB i feel like there is a lot of pressure and especially during this global pandemic. Maybe i can let you know about some tips n tricks to help you overcome it or lessen it. 

Babysitting: 

YES HAHAH i do that a lot. 

About something you guys suffer in or whatever you want me to blog about!!

Fashion: 

We can gossip about the latest trends going on and talk about what we think of them. 

IB as a school programme or even with middle school: 

but that depends if i have an audience who is interested in that. 

Problems we suffer from ( mostly for teenagers ): 

Anxiety, sleep disorders, eating disorders, bullying, break up, friendship problems, family problems, and SO MUCH MORE. You can definitely stay anonymous if you want and I’ll generally help you with whatever you’re facing :)

Parents facing issues with their kids: 

So if you’re a parent who thinks they aren’t spending enough time with your kids, or if your children are being unreasonable or not talking properly i can surely help you with that. Just trust me :)

SOO THATS A WRAPP!! 

I’m sorry for writing such a long intro post but i thought this was my first post so i had to explain whatever I’m gonna do for you and stuff. Now I’m tired so lemme go zzzzz. 

PLEASEEE IF YOU LIKE THIS POST OR INTERESTED ABOUT THE BLOGS IM GONNA POST, PLEASE SHOW YOUR IMMENSE LOVE THAT MY THIS AND UPCOMING BLOGS CRAVE. ok sorry for the caps love you. 

Jokes apart, im actually going to put in lots of effort into these so please help me and help me out :(( Also do give me feedback! I’ll be waiting

[blackaquokat]

43 and acting attorney? Cause that sounds like something Actor would say XD

It does, doesn’t it? I had one fluffy draft of this, but it didn’t turn out how I wanted, so here’s a load of angst instead.

43. “Youhave no idea how much I want you right now.”

Oo00oO

Mark looks up from his drink to see his dearest attorneyfriend slide into the booth seat across from him.

“I had a feeling you’d be here,” they say by way ofgreeting.

“You know me too well.” Mark swallows the last of his drinkbefore they can take the glass from him.

Freddy’s Pub has always been a favorite spot for their small group of friends. Now it has become a haven of tequila shots for Mark to forget that he’s been sleeping in a cold bed for months.

They roll their eyes. “I’m here to take you home.”

“What if I don’t want to leave yet?” he challenges.

“I have no problem with dragging you out by your ear,asshole. I’m giving you the option to walk out with some dignity.”

Mark sighs. He touches his cold wedding ring out of purehabit.

Why is he still wearing it again?

He moves to his feet, stumbling only a little, and beginswalking towards the entrance. The attorney moves beside him, one hand on hiselbow.

They don’t move him out of the way of another patron fast enoughand Mark bumps into the guy hard enough for a drink to spill.

“Will you watch where you’re going, bastard?”

“It was an accident,” the attorney says, stepping forwardwith crossed arms. “No need for that kind of behavior.”

“Why don’t you stay out of my business, you stupid—”

Mark should have walked away, but he’s feeling empty and hopelessand damn it, anyone who speaks like that to his attorney deserves whatever theyget.

He only gets one punch in before the guy’s buddy knocks Markonto his back, chin throbbing in pain.

Through blurry vision, he sees his attorney block several hitsbefore beating both men away. He hears the bartender threaten to call the cops ifthe fight doesn’t stop.

Then the attorney kneels beside him, knuckles split andbruised, a small cut on their cheek, their curls in disarray, old eyes brightwith adrenaline.

Have they always looked this breathtaking?

(The answer is yes, and that he’s always known this. He just tried not to indulge those observations when he had Celine waiting at home.)

“You alright?” they ask him.

He giggles like an idiot at the question. They look to be inworse shape than him and he is so verydrunk. “You have no idea how much I want you right now,” he slurs.

It’s a testament to his alcohol-addled mind that he doesn’teven think to be horrified by the concession, by the realization that after allthese years, he still wants to trace the lines of their face, run his fingers throughtheir hair and just…

He thought that marrying Celine would drive away thesefeelings for the attorney, but maybe they have always been there.

Well shit, what does that say about him now that Celine isgone?

He’s so caught up at the tragic amusement of it all that hedoesn’t see the flicker of pain in the attorney’s face.

They shake their head. “You’re a moron,” they comment asthey drag him to his feet.

Mark doesn’t speak again until he realizes they brought himto their house, not his.

“Why are we here?”

“So I can keep an eye on you. Clearly none of your employeesare keeping you from dying of alcohol poisoning.”

Mark doesn’t dignify that with any kind of clarification.

(Benjamin would probably try to help more if Mark didn’tkeep locking himself in his room.)

The next morning, Mark wakes up on the attorney’s couchfeeling like a half-eatencorpse. There’s a glass of water and some pills on thecoffee table in front of him, along with a note. It says they went to buygroceries.

He lingers on the couch until they return home an hour and ahalf later because he has nowhere else he wants to go, nothing else he wants todo. He can’t even muster up the energy to make breakfast for himself or for the friend who took care of his sorry ass int he first place.

And he has a vague recollection of flirting with theattorney last night. He should probably apologize for that.

They come through the front door with grocery bags on eacharm. “Good, you’re awake. Help me put this stuff away.”

Mark stares up at them and, before he loses his nerve, “Look,I think I said some things last night, and…”

Shit, this is harder than he thought.

They stand in place a moment longer, and he thinks he sees ahint of regret line their face.

“You were drunk.”

They walk to the kitchen without another word, and it occursto Mark too late to follow after and help with the groceries.

Neither of them bring it up again.

But sometimes Mark wants too.

But he wants lots of things he can’t have.

[rike-with-love]

Oh my goid girl! : D My pleasure! @hiji-katrash

2, 4 and 17 for the anime ask ? : ) @username-janai-katsura-da

Thank you for the asks guys! : 3

Anime asks because why not

1. First anime you ever watched

- Pokémon

2. First anime crush.

- Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto

3. Favorite anime character.

- Okita Sougo from Gintama

4. Least favorite anime character.

- Jiraia from Gintama

5. List all anime you have ever watched

- Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Naruto, Gintama, One Piece, Attack on Titan, Maid Sama!, Inuyasha, Sakamoto desu ga, The Devil is a Oart-Timer!, Hunter x Hunter, Boruto

6. Popular anime you didn’t like.

- At first I didn’t like One Piece, but I’ve grown to like it. It still isn’t my favorite, but I still watch it occasionally.

7. Anime you are currently watching.

- GINTAMAAA!! Waiting, re-watching, loving!, Boruto (very rarely), One Piece (Occasionally), Attack on Titan! Oh my god! It’s so good.

8. Anime character you are like the most.

- Kagura from Gintama, I feel like she is “one of the boys”, but from the inside she is reeally girly and cute, just like me : 3. Also I got her temper.

9. Favorite anime child

- Sarada Uchiha from Naruto/Boruto, such a sweetheart

10. Favorite anime animal sidekick.

- SADAHARU from Gintama!

11.  Anime you didn’t expect to like but did.

- Attack on Titan, I thought it would be too gory for me, but it just sucked me right in, I couldn’t fight it : D

12. Anime that should get more attention from others

- I’ll always answer Gintama

13. Funnest anime you have watched

- I’ll always answer Gintama, nothing will ever be as funny as Gintama’s shitty humour.

14. Saddest anime you have ever watched.

- Attack on Titan, Gintama

15. Anime you never get sick of watching.

- Gintama

16. 10 best animes you have watched.

- Well, I haven’t watched that many, but I can say my top 3

1. Gintama 2. Attack on Titan 3. Naruto

17. Biggest anime crush.

- Well...I like maaaany, so many. But my heart belongs to Okita Sougo from Gintama, he took Sasuke’s place like two-three years ago and I thought no one could overthrow him, but he did.

18.10 worst anime you have watched.

- Uh...I’ll have to skip this one, I’m very selective of what I watch, so I haven’t watched anything that bad xP Well, Boruto is sort of a let down, I’m not sure is it that necessary to continue the Naruto franchise.

19. Favorite anime ships.

- *rubs hands together and chuckles to herself

- OTP: Okikagu, they are made for each other, they complete each other in many aspects of life, I love them!

- Other ships: Sasusaku (my original otp but Okikagu overthrew them), Naruhina, Inosai, Shikatema, Luffyhancock, Gintsu, Kontae, Sakamutsu, Katsumatsu, Ereri, Inukago

20. Least favorite anime ships.

- I don’t want to wage shipwars, so I just say that I’m not feeling Ginkagu or Shinkagu because they feel like a family to me, just like Okikagu feels only like rivalry/friendship to others : ) I can respect that. Also incest ships aren’t my thing.

21. Anime that made you cry and when?

- Gintama (Sadaharu’s sacrifice...I fucking cried like a baby and screamed at my laptop, Shoguns death...I was shocked...utterly shocked)

22. Age you started watching anime/person who introduced you to it.

- I was 6 years old when Pokémon began airing as a children’s show, that’s my first step. Then I watched Naruto and Gintama on-off in my teens.

When I was 20 years old I dived into anime head first. I binged Naruto in like three months...I just ate it up. All the characters were familiar to me and I had always wanted to watch it from beginning to end. I also binged Inuyasha and ATLA (I know it’s not anime, I just love it so much!).

I had Naruto and my husband had One Piece. I wanted something to watch together and I Gintama popped into my mind (like hey! It was mad funny. I had only seen like three episodes but it stuck with me). Then we began to watch it binged it together from beginning to Farewell Shinsengumi Arc and now we are here...waiting for the end.

Also Attack on Titan is something we watch together. #bingewatch

23. Unpopular character you love.

- Uh...I don’t know. I’m a sucker for a pretty face and they tend to be the popular ones. So I don’t know : D

24. Popular character you hate.

- Hate is a strong word, but I’m not that hyped about Takasugi Shinsuke from Gintama, but I DO NOT HATE HIM! Just not my favorite : )

25. Anime you would recommend to someone who hates anime.

- I’ll always answer Gintama. For someone who hates anime, must have some sort of ideas of anime and why they hate it. Maybe some hate the ridiculous boobs or they just don’t get it. Well, Gintama doesn’t have gigantic boobs on every character and it’s okay if you don’t like anime, Gintama apparently hates every anime out there too.

Every parody is a sign of recogniziong : )

26. Manga you have read all the way to the end

- I don’t read manga but have read one called Cherry Juice

27. Anime you plan to watch in the future

- Oh my god! If I had the time I would definitely watch these:

- Yuri on Ice! (I know, shame on me for not watching it...I know), Free!, Black Butler, FMA (I’ve watched couple of episodes here and there, but not from beginning to end), Boku no Hero Academia (I already know I’m gonna love that red and white haired boy...Todoroki? And I already ship him with that black haired girl, Momo was it?), Persona 5 the anime when I find the binge time : ))), there are a lot of interesting ones out there, but here’s already quite a bunch for me (to fill the hole in my heart when Gintama ends)

28. Most upsetting moment in anime and why?

- Attack on Titan: So many horrible moments, but I SCREAMED when that one titan ate Erwin’s arm. The death of Squad Levi, The fucking first episode a.k.a. the death of Carla.

- Gintama: I got chills when Utsuro first appeared, everyone were so serious (even Sougo and Kagura, I remeber their eyes forever), the moments when Utsuro nearly killed Gintoki (first fight), Yamazaki (second fight) and Shinpachi (first fight), the moment when Utsuro’s mask broke, oh my god Gintoki’s face!!!, and when Sadaharu literally began to disappear (my heart hurts just by thinking about it), Shoguns assassination (I still can’t believe it)

29. Anime that deserves another season.

- Gintama xD hehe. I think Maid Sama! I would have loved to see it till the end. Sakamoto desu ga absolutely and The Devil is a Part-Timer! These short gems deserve so much more!

30. One anime conclusion you would change.

- Okay, I haven’t watched Bleach, BUT my husband has and for him, I would end Bleach with Aizen arc and make Ichigo and Rukia the canon couple.

- Also, Sorachi-sensei...Imma gonna have to change my answer on this one if you don’t make Okikagu canon...pretty please!

This was so much fun! Sorry for rambling a bit : D hope you enjoyed reading my opinions!

 Chapter Twelve

Bob sat in stunned silence. He stared at Dina, his mouth hanging open. He couldn’t deny his attraction to her, but it had only been 3 months since Eliza left. Was he ready for a date? If he wasn’t, would it ruin their friendship and any possible chances of a relationship in the future? Was he willing to take that risk?

All of these thoughts passed through Bob’s head in seconds. He could see Dina’s face falling, remembered how nervous she had been. He realized that if he said he wasn’t ready, Dina would never be ready again.

“You know what? I’m sorry. I-” Dina started. Bob cut her off, standing and resting his hands on her shoulders. “No, Dina, I’m sorry! I was just surprised, that’s all. I’d love to.” Dina’s smile lit the room up, and Bob knew he’d made the right choice. He could tell her he’d like to go slow. There was nothing wrong with that.

Tuesday night, while Elvira was at book club, Bob stood in his room, nervously fiddling with his clothes. Should he dress up? He felt like he always wore the exact same thing. (ha ha, get it? Because he’s a sim, so he does... nevermind XD)  Finally, he did change into something a little cooler, since it was so hot out. He was working himself into a frenzy. He took a deep breath, and headed out the door.

Bob met Dina at the museum at 6pm, just as she’d suggested. He smiled and greeted her with a hug. “So, truth be told, I didn’t want to come here for the art. I thought we could sit in this garden over here.” She pointed around the side of the museum. Bob smiled and said that sounded great to him.

It was beautiful and peaceful in the garden. The fountain splashed quietly and the air was filled with the scent of the flowers. They sat there for hours, talking. Bob vented about his mom, about how overwhelmed he felt. But he also admitted how grateful he was for her. If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t be here now. Dina ranted about her family, too, but ultimately admitted that she’d be lost without them. The sky grew dark as they sat there.

“This was nice, Bob. I was so nervous, but this was really nice,” Dina said at the end of the night, while they waited for her cab.  “It really was,” Bob agreed. “But, look, Dina, I wanted to talk to you about something. I was with Eliza for a long time. In fact, Eliza is all I’ve ever known, the only person I’ve ever dated. I don’t really know what I’m doing here. I actually have no idea at all. But, if it’s okay with you, I think I’d like to take things slowly.” Dina remained silent through Bob’s speech, letting him talk. When he was done, she smiled and said, “Actually, Bob, it’s embarrassing to admit, but I’ve never had a boyfriend. Here I am, 26 years old, and I’ve never even been kissed. So don’t worry. Slow sounds great to me.”

She climbed into her cab, gave Bob one more smile, and was gone.

heyhey that post abt how not to treat bartenders has got me curious so here i am sliding up in ur askbox again lmao 😂 sooo... when i eventually go to a bar for the first time (since ive only ever had two mixed drinks in my entire life) whats the best way to approach that instead of just choosing something at random? would asking the bartender for their recommendation be a good thing to do? weird question probably but im known for those P: XD

oh MAN am i ever glad you’re asking this!! No joke! And before i would even attempt to answer this (and i vented a little, sorry xD im very surly and its been a long day and i still dont have internet at home), i’m gonna send you to The Bartender Hates You youtube compilation (they’re 30 second shorts as to why we as bartenders fucking hate people… and its 100% accurate af let me tell you ahahahha amusing as shit cuz its all TRUE) xD

First off, don’t be like the freshly 21 bitch who comes up to my bar when i have a HUGE lines and goes “uuuuh… i don’t know… what do you recommend?” Bitch am i psychic? I don’t know you, i don’t know what you like, i don’t know your allergies/taste preferences like you wanna know what i recommend? A beer, because thats gonna get you out of here asap and every minute i spend trying to find something you’ll like, you are literally costing me money by me not being able to make more drinks/be able to earn more tips.

Real talk like sorry i need to vent because im still mad about this AHAHAHA

Like, im not gonna try to sell you a tequila cocktail if you dont drink tequila, right? Or something sweet if you dont like sweet, right? SO red flag number one this is not gonna end well for me:

she doesnt know what she likes (u dumb or something i dont know you get out of line and go read the fucking menu)

she’s admitted to being ‘freshly 21′ (her birthday was 3 months back o_o)

she asks “Well what can i get for 20$?” CHEAPSKATE ALERT CHEAPSKATE ALERT she a cheapass ho im not gonna get tipped

I sold her a jack honey and coke and something else, her change was 45cents from a 20$ bill, and DID SHE TIP EVEN THAT PIDDLY CHANGE?? NOPE! literally this bitch took ten minutes for a fucking jack and coke, kept apologizing (like bitch stop apologizing and get out of line and figure out what you might like) taking up all my damn time and you could see everyone else in line getting frustrated and i am clearly frustrated myself but trying to help as best i can like i still feel the urge to strangle like fucking fuck.

SO in answer to your question: have an idea of what you like. Drink to your own tastes, not whatever is in vogue or ‘looks cool’ (i have literally had people order ‘the pink martini on the menu cover’ cuz its cute. And im like Do you like vodka? ‘Ew no i cant stand it!’ bitch why are you ordering a fucking vodka martini then???) That’s what assholes do and then they dont like their drink cuz they didn’t have two braincells to think for a moment that they should ask whats in a certain cocktail/tell me what kind of liquor they like/don’t like so i can actually help make an informed decision.

If the bartender is busy/there’s a long line, choose something simple. Do a spirit and soda (this freshly 21 bitch said ‘OH i’ll do that then.’ ‘do what?’ ‘a spirit and soda’. BITCH a spirit is L I Q U O R. fuck. WHAT KIND OF GODDAMN LIQUOR AND GODDAMN SODA MIXER YOU WANT IS THIS PRESCHOOL??? she thought it was a drink…. GOD i am STILL mad about this hahaha). If you do want a more complicated cocktail, stick a $5 bill down close to the spill mats when you order so we know its for us before making your drink and we’ll be more than happy to make you whatever fandangled bullshit you want, AND make it again with a chipper ass fucking smile when you come back for round two. Treat us right and we’ll treat you very right.

“But purge, you can’t honestly expect me to tip $5 on top of the cost of the drink!” yes, yes i can if you’re ordering some goddamn nonsense. Where do you even think you are? Get the fuck out of my bar otherwise. 

Industry standard right here, regardless of price: tip $1 for each pour of beer/wine, tip at least 2-3$ depending on the effort that goes into a cocktail/drink youre ordering. A tequila sunrise for example (tequila, oj, grenadine, cherry) $1-2 is just fine. Those are simple, i could make them in my sleep. If there is shaking/muddling/fresh squeezing of fruit wedges/blending? You better be tipping at least $2.

Just have an idea of what you enjoy/what you don’t, and the bartender should be able to help you out. And an FYI: bartenders have EXCELLENT memories/facial recognition. I know the names and faces of the cheap dickheads and also the ones who tip very well.

The cheapskates are the ones i always help last, and i never bother to rush (hell i’ve over-helped people i’m currently serving because fuck cheapskates man. i will go out of my way to make you wait longer). The folks who tip well? Front of the line, VIP service, i make sure everything is absolutely perfect.

And let’s not act like i’m being classist about people with money vs people without. I’m talking about the folks who also run $80+ food tabs aside from the beers and stuff they’re drinking, so trust me, they can afford to tip. And if you can’t, then don’t fucking go out. We’re selling a luxury item/experience, not a staple like bread or milk.

#poisonjack answers #you're such a sweetie pie sorry i vented so much AHAHAH #truth is i LOVE my job its fun as hell but for how fun it is- the inverse is equally true for how hard it is #we work our asses off and you get those people who go 'oh i never tip' and it just... the dregs of humanity... #ive always been taught to be a good tipper because people fucking rely on that shit #i am very very passionate about my work HAHAHA #i have maybe another 10years left in this profession because i look really young... but bartenders do age out unless you're a specialist #trying to make the most of my time haha

Hi! Idk if you read fanfic, but would you happen to have any kiribaku fic recs? Or any bnha fic rec?

I’m pretty sure there’s stuff tagged as fic recs on this blog, yes! Nothing particularly new tho, I haven’t had the time to put down a new rec-list in a while ;-;

Anon said:How long does it take you to finish a drawing with and without color?

That honestly depends on a lot of factors - which tools I’m using, how many characters there are in the drawing/if it’s full body or not, how used to drawing the character I am, how big is the canvas, if I already have a clear idea of what I mean to draw or not, how precise I want to be with lines and stuff. 

That Yuuto sketch I posted yesterday took me about 40 minutes I think, and over half of it was spent trying to figure out how I was supposed to draw him since it was the first time I drew him - the tools I used are the ones I use when I want to be fast and don’t care about being sloppy. A small random Kirishima bust properly lined and colored could take me five minutes to sketch and line and as many to color on a good day, cause I’ve drawn him so many times by now I don’t even have to think to draw him. Deku, on the other hand, can take me an hour even just to sketch, I can’t seem to grasp how I’m supposed to draw him at all.

Sorry, it really depends on a lot of things, I can’t give a proper answer to this :(

Anon said:Ive been tryin to find ur art of sero carrying baku for like 20 minutes n i cant find it :(

I dunno if anyone has before you, but I can’t say I have, sorry! If I gotta ship Nejire with someone after all it’s gonna be Yuyu haha

Anon said:Hey do you do commissions? I really love your art and I'd love to get a commission from you!! (and also I just wanna know if there's yet another thing that I have to save up for XD)

Anon said:Are josh and chris still not dating?

Sadly until I’ll sit down to write their story that specific part of it won’t go anywhere :( Chris gotta deal with a bunch of things before he’ll be ready to put a name to what’s between him and Josh 3 one day I’ll let him work through it !!!

Anon said:I'm so paranoid I'm going to repost one of your post by accident but the thing is is I never even repost anything at all but just because I know you don't want them to be I'm so scared that by accident I'm going to have something screenshotted and forget it's yours and like Ugh😂

Well, my name’s written on all my drawing so I doubt you’ll forget it’s my stuff lol to make sure you’re not reposting anything the author doesn’t want reposted you can always just ask before reposting it, tho~

Anon said:I was just scrolling through your OC stuff and I just. Love them so much. Thank you for the babies ❤

GOD THANK YOU ;O;

Anon said:Okay I've never seen your oc's before and Dave is the cutest green boy I love him

AAAAHHHHHH I’M GLAD!!!!!

Anon said:kamijirou getting together? :3 also if there were ever a scenario where jirou would confess first, what do you think she would be thinking?

I actually have half a thing planned for that :0 gimme a while to get around to drawing it!

Anon said:How do you feel imagine kiri’s parents???

Actually since I’m still hoping one day Hori will give us the official versions I try not to think too much about it! I don’t wanna grow attached just to have to give them up once I’ll have the canon versions haha

Anon said:hey quick innocent question ive been following for a long time and saw a lot of your art do you have a thing for feet

Are you asking because I draw a lot of people barefoot? Feet are just easier and faster to draw than shoes, anon

Anon said:I love how you answer asks all at once. It’s nice to see that you’re getting in bulk appreciation

THANKS I honestly just don’t want my blog to be more asks than art, so I let them pile up before answering - it does mean I make people wait a lot for answers tho orz sorry

Anon said:I LOVE YOUR ART

THANK YOU!!!!

Anon said:You've open a sea of possibilities with red pineapple kirishima. You're a legend :prayeremoji:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn’t call myself that but I’m glad you appreciate him too hahaha

Anon said:i cant help but notice nothings been added to your sero tag in 4 months

That might be because I rarely use single characters tags! Try looking under #bakusquad and #seromina :D

Anon said:Hahaaa hi this is probably really really awkward but I just wanted you to let you know that you're super awesome!! And the fact that your art is something that I can look forward to is absolutely amazing (no pressure tho)!!! So yea, thank you for being cool and creating beautiful art~~ :D ✧✧✧

AHW I’m sorry anon, but those are definitely too small to be of any use on the shop ;-; if you’re okay with it I could add the last one I posted? I should seriously draw more of him..................

Anon said:That jacket that Kirishima has on...I NEED!

Dec 17 Dancitron Movie Night - Gotham s2 e1-3

Everyone’s very disappointed in Jim Gordon’s life choices.

Today MedicalMurdersaurus 7:22 pm *SLIDES into the room Tom Cruise style, holding a sack full of his now several month old Halloween goodie haul above his head* NoodlesAtNight 7:23 pm *Soundwave's rushing to put everything together, having been so very busy today with... things. He JUST manages to twirl out of the way of Swoop's slide, and ejects Laserbeak, who practically mobs Swoop for the bag.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:23 pm *SQUEAKS* BIRD! NoodlesAtNight 7:24 pm {{Gimme gimme gimme gimme, let Bird see, aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAA}} SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:24 pm *the dragon comes in /much/ more sedately and sensibly than Swoop. she's got her typical haul of treats! she's also got special "grayface gummis" made with mercury syrup that are shaped like the anonymous ask face. anon may have been a coward, but Bird will still get grayface snacks.* Hello, Soundwave! verdigrisprowl 7:24 pm *appears. he'd been hoping to get here before the other guests.* *oh well.* NoodlesAtNight 7:25 pm *Prowl can nudge Soundwave upstairs briefly if needs be?* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:25 pm *drops the bag in front of himself, then plops next to it and dumps it out for inspection* verdigrisprowl 7:26 pm *no, it's fine, he just wanted a quiet moment with him.* ((i'm assuming this is fuzzytimed to before unicron?)) NoodlesAtNight 7:27 pm ((if it's agreed that's best?? i wasn't 100% sure)) verdigrisprowl 7:27 pm ((i can say it's safe to say prowl wouldn't be going to movie streams if he's supposed to be organizing evacuations.)) NoodlesAtNight 7:27 pm ((then it technically took place yesterday)) [[Greetings, dragon. Those look new. Inspired?]] *Pings Prowl and heads past to oh so lightly brush his fingers against Prowl's before continuing to arrange the furniture.* NoodlesAtNight 7:28 pm *Bird gasps.* {{It so many! Where you Swoop get all this good?}} verdigrisprowl 7:28 pm *oh so lightly brushes back* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:28 pm *beams* All over! Me Swoop do LOTS and LOTS of trick or treat : > SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:30 pm There was maybe a little inspiration involved. I hope they're good! NoodlesAtNight 7:30 pm {{How many trick you play? Them Autobots get fooled?}} [[He is sure they will be as delicious as everything else you make - and if for some reason they are not, our critiques will be gentle and helpful.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 7:30 pm Kehehh! Nahhh! No trick! All treats. ALMOST one trick. But Him do treat too : > NoodlesAtNight 7:31 pm *Tiny bob for the dragon. Respect!* Swervester 7:32 pm //oof dinner finished just in time NoodlesAtNight 7:33 pm ((welcome!)) Swervester 7:33 pm //also ya i figured fuzzy timed bc swerve wouldn't be here either if unicron happening lmao NoodlesAtNight 7:34 pm ((i just didn't wanna assume without input! all good 😀 )) verdigrisprowl 7:35 pm ((i'm gonna go grab food after take me to church)) NoodlesAtNight 7:35 pm ((np not starting til 8)) MedicalMurdersaurus 7:35 pm ((I've heard this song ten thousand times but literally this is the first time I have ever payed attention to the lyrics OMFG)) verdigrisprowl 7:35 pm ((until then i'll be dancing in my seat)) verdigrisprowl 7:36 pm ((IT'S INTENSE SHIT)) NoodlesAtNight 7:36 pm {{Who them almost? You want Bird trick them?}} SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:36 pm *the dragon churrs happily. Soundwave is so kind.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:36 pm Uhhhhh.... Me Swoop not remember name. Me Swoop not ask. No care. Me Swoop ONLY want trick or treat. For Bird! Kehehheh. And beat other Dinobots. NoodlesAtNight 7:39 pm *Bird rolls in the air, whistling happily.* {{You Swoop beat them? Them wimps. Swoop beat, Bird knows.}} opatoes 7:39 pm Oooh! I got here just in time, huh? MedicalMurdersaurus 7:40 pm *snickers and watches her go* Them not FLY opatoes 7:40 pm ((asdzxcbm i JUST got back from spidey im getting no rest tonight NoodlesAtNight 7:40 pm [[You really must tell him more about how you learned to do all of this some time, dragon. He is most curious.]] [[That you did, Smokescreen.]] ((aaaaa lucky!! i hope you enjoyed it)) opatoes 7:41 pm /Smokescreen's running in and is throwing himself at the couch- he may look a little funny tonight. Mostly that he looks like Starscream./ MedicalMurdersaurus 7:41 pm ((Oh! Is there going to be a Christmas Eve stream?)) opatoes 7:41 pm ((I did! It was really good! Swervester 7:41 pm //unless i get a laptop for christmas and am allowed to open it i'll miss eve stream, I spend the christmas night/day at my mom's and mobile rabbit doesn't like my phone so MedicalMurdersaurus 7:42 pm ((I'll be with fam too. It's cool. We might just need a recap before the following one.)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:43 pm It... *the dragon considers for a moment* I mean, I guess it was difficult. But at first I was just- *hm, Prowl's here* I was just giving out plain energon. Then someone mentioned adding things. Then that one human, the feline human I think? Started making stuff. And I just... I just decided to try doing that myself. I did nearly blow myself up twice, but I already knew how to cook dragon-style, so once I figured out the rules with energon, it wasn't as hard as it could have been. Getting everything the right size for you all to eat was really the hard part! I had to rig up something so that I could get proper serving sizes. NoodlesAtNight 7:43 pm ((depending on how many people show up i will either just offer plot summaries for those who missed, or switch to something seasonal for one week and then resume 4-6 on the next week)) MedicalMurdersaurus 7:44 pm ((sounds good!)) NoodlesAtNight 7:44 pm ((but if i switch then any future misses will have to be summaries or we'll fail to hit venomtine's day)) MedicalMurdersaurus 7:44 pm ((venomtine's day is going to be a laugh riot)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:44 pm ((hell yeah)) NoodlesAtNight 7:45 pm [[...Smokescreen, that is the most horrible thing they have ever done to you.]] *Eyeing the Starscream appearance before playing back the dragon's speech in his head to catch up* opatoes 7:46 pm ... I wish I could say it was, Soundwave. But man, I can't wait 'til a couple weeks after this! So I can look good again. NoodlesAtNight 7:46 pm *Swing and a miss on that humorous shot. Oops.*

[[Where did you find implements large enough for our servings? Special order?]] MedicalMurdersaurus 7:48 pm *makes no move to help Bird with candy mountain, cause a decent chunk of Swoop wants to see her try to fly off with it all* NoodlesAtNight 7:48 pm *She is definitely circling it and trying to figure out how to get it all back into her grip* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:48 pm ...You know those human car-building machines? I had to use two of those, a draconic control rig, and a pair- *uh, even though they're sterilized and very, very clean, she probably shouldn't cop to using corpse hands for anything* -and some other stuff to get proper manual dexterity. MedicalMurdersaurus 7:49 pm *is both delighted and intentionally useless* : > opatoes 7:49 pm /You tried, Soundwave. Smokey's not about to say anything that could possibly tempt worse things, though!/ NoodlesAtNight 7:49 pm *Maybe if she just... drops to the floor and scoots herself under it back first with the help of her feelers?*

*...................Nope. No good.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:50 pm *claps both hands over his mouth in an absolutely pitiful attempt to control his full body shaking laughter* NoodlesAtNight 7:51 pm [[You are quite the inventive little organic. He suspects our Wheeljack would be fascinated with your ability to rig things if we could get him out of his damned laboratory.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 7:51 pm ((Laserbeak's eyes have been bigger than her gut for a while now. is tonight the night she is bested? XD)) NoodlesAtNight 7:52 pm *And not tempting greyfaces is very wise, Smokescreen. He's proud of you for having learned that, actually* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:52 pm I think he'd scream and duck for cover. *the dragon still puffs up, pleased by the compliment, though* The mechanical parts are more "creative" than "dangerous," but I suspect the code I had to use to get everything to interface together is a crime against programming. *oops, she said the C-word. sorry, prowl!* opatoes 7:52 pm /To be fair, he got into this mess by tempting them in the first place! He's gotta learn eventually./ opatoes 7:53 pm Say- Say, Soundwave, what kind of drinks do you have tonight anyway? NoodlesAtNight 7:54 pm *Okay. Okay. What if she - what if she bridges it? And she catches it in -- no, that's not going to work. How about trying to make a basket like Soundwave does?*

*She'll get about halfway into weaving one before realizing she won't have anything left to grab the candy with afterward.*

*She might just be, Swoop. Give her another few minutes.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:54 pm ((there's cat hair in my apple cider)) NoodlesAtNight 7:54 pm ((mood)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:54 pm ((how did this happen, I say as I pull my cat's face out of my mug)) NoodlesAtNight 7:55 pm ((at least YOUR cat was NEAR your mug. i somehow got one in there even though she was on the floor.)) MedicalMurdersaurus 7:55 pm *flops forward onto his belly, chin in hands, to watch her with the most devious grin* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:56 pm ((the second the apples come out, my cat is there. it's actually really weird. I have to lock my apples in the microwave because she will eat them otherwise. and if I leave an apple core in the trash can without bagging the trash up and removing it she'll knock the can over and eat the core.)) Swervester 7:56 pm //HA i made koolaid earlier, my cat wasn't even in the same room and there was haior in it Swervester 7:57 pm //i had to pull out three strands like cat pls SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:57 pm ((cat hair is a magical substance)) NoodlesAtNight 7:57 pm [[Well, you are only a beginner. You can't be faulted for having so little time to practice compared to his species.]]

[[Oh, Smokescreen - tonight we have some of what Ravage has called a Thermometwist. Heated energon with minerals that leave your mouth feeling cooled despite the temperature. It is on the sweet and tart side.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 7:58 pm ((it's like ravage designed a drink specifically to make swoop feel attacked)) verdigrisprowl 7:58 pm ((IM BACK)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:58 pm *the dragon chuffs* That does make me feel better. *she puffs up with pride* And in any case, my cooking is what I pride myself on. opatoes 7:58 pm Oooh- that sounds pretty good! I had to check before I got up, you know? /Now, slowly, slowly, Smokescreen is making his way over to the bar, grabbing onto anything he can to make sure he doesn't fall over. His new claws *might* accidentally go through a couch./ NoodlesAtNight 7:59 pm *OKAY. Okay. Laserbeak's got it. She's got this now. She knows exactly how to carry all of this upstairs to her room.*

{{Hey, Swoop. You putting goodies back in bag, taking upstairs. Okay?}} ((welcome back!)) MedicalMurdersaurus 7:59 pm *griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins* Kay NoodlesAtNight 7:59 pm *She whirs happily. Hah! No food yet has been created that will best her genius.* verdigrisprowl 7:59 pm ((i skim-backread but did anybody talk to prowl while i was gone)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:00 pm ((the dragon said "Crimes" but that wasn't to prowl, that was just a dig at her own programming skills)) NoodlesAtNight 8:00 pm ((we start when song is done)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:00 pm ((which start at "if about to blow up(); don't;" and go downhill from there)) MedicalMurdersaurus 8:01 pm *sweeps the candy back into the bag, missing a few here and there but not noticing* Me SWOOP can candy kehehheh *carries the bag away with just one hand because he can* NoodlesAtNight 8:01 pm *Soundwave sighs softly at the claws through the couch. He's never going to have a week where he doesn't have to replace SOME piece of furniture again, is he?* ((lmao what a description - and nay soundwave didn't say anythin else to him yet cause i didn't want it to get lost haha)) NoodlesAtNight 8:02 pm {{You Swoop stroooooong. Mighty Dinobot!}} *Picking the last few off the ground before following him.* verdigrisprowl 8:02 pm *is soundwave sitting yet? if so, prowl's leaning on him. if not, prowl's watching him expectantly.* Swervester 8:02 pm [he has found a seat, don't mind him] MedicalMurdersaurus 8:02 pm *understands sarcasm exists and doesn't even consider it a possibility because Bird compliments are <3* NoodlesAtNight 8:02 pm *He is just now about to sit, which he does with more grace than one would expect from someone who just saw his expenses grow and grew tired at the thought.* NoodlesAtNight 8:03 pm [[Ah, Swerve. Good evening.]] opatoes 8:03 pm /Smokescreen's finally grabbing himself a drink and, on the way back, finally notices the claw damage, wings drooping and staring at Soundwave./ Uh. Soundwave? Can I give you a gift later? Swervester 8:03 pm Hey NoodlesAtNight 8:03 pm [[Perhaps.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 8:03 pm *follows Bird's lead on depositing the candy in its new home and final resting place* opatoes 8:03 pm !! /He's waving at Swerve in excitement! This has got to be the most excited any Starscream look-a-like has EVER looked./ Good, good! You've always wanted another couch, right? NoodlesAtNight 8:04 pm *She'll have him park it riiiiight on top of her latest pile of snacks. Hopefully it won't topple.* verdigrisprowl 8:04 pm It's a brick wall. They can just take a jackhammer to the bricks. NoodlesAtNight 8:04 pm [[Perhaps they will? That was a month ago.]] SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:04 pm ((what the fuuuuuuck, penguin)) MedicalMurdersaurus 8:05 pm *it does a little but whatever* NoodlesAtNight 8:05 pm ((he's pulling a mooney)) *Good enough for her! Hurry, hurry, back down!* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:05 pm I think it would hurt Bruce's pride not to be able to guess his father's combination. verdigrisprowl 8:05 pm ((i totally wasn't looking, who got shot)) MedicalMurdersaurus 8:05 pm *scampers down again, laughing all the way* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:05 pm ((no one I recognized)) NoodlesAtNight 8:05 pm ((penguin offed some rando who probably pissed him off/belonged to falcone)) NoodlesAtNight 8:06 pm ((OH RIGHT WARNINGS shit hold on)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:06 pm *the dragon snickers* The Goddess was drunk when she let his soul through. verdigrisprowl 8:06 pm He can jackhammer his way into the room, take the door upstairs, and open it at his leisure.

That boring.}} MedicalMurdersaurus 9:52 pm Them do with no box next time kehheheh NoodlesAtNight 9:52 pm [[We wouldn't have much of a show if he perished, would we, Laserbeak.]] verdigrisprowl 9:52 pm Oh, HE'S going to die. verdigrisprowl 9:53 pm They're going after major political figures—the mayor, the police. NoodlesAtNight 9:53 pm [[Of course. Deputy mayors are next in line should the original go missing. Which has happened.]] verdigrisprowl 9:53 pm Billionaires too, apparently. MedicalMurdersaurus 9:54 pm Them bad at shooting keheh NoodlesAtNight 9:54 pm [[Naturally. If he is mad that his family built the city and was wiped off the map after doing so, then he will want to go for those who currently lay claim to it.]] Swervester 9:54 pm Given how corrupt Gotham is, the billioniares probably ARe major political players. NoodlesAtNight 9:54 pm [[And what Swerve has said. Quite the observation, mech.]] NoodlesAtNight 9:56 pm [[...Ah.]] Swervester 9:56 pm I see. verdigrisprowl 9:56 pm Aha. opatoes 9:56 pm ... Man, no wonder he got rejected from acting school NoodlesAtNight 9:57 pm [[Primus. /Ratbat/ was less obvious than this.]] Swervester 9:57 pm He's awfully aware of the camera, it's coming across really cheesy act. opatoes 9:57 pm ... How obvious was Ratbat? Like- any specific stories? SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:57 pm *snrk* verdigrisprowl 9:57 pm ... *mumbles* thought he was pretty good. Swervester 9:58 pm It just sounded really scripted, is all. NoodlesAtNight 9:58 pm [[He was, up until he turned straight to the camera.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 9:59 pm *claps* NoodlesAtNight 9:59 pm [[A move clearly designed to ensure that the city knew his face. Someone who didn't care about that would not have turned.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 9:59 pm ((Did the writers forget she left him or are we supposed to think her brains are that scrambled?)) NoodlesAtNight 10:00 pm ((the latter. she thinks she can go back to him)) [[They would be too busy confronting the villain to bother with anything else.]] opatoes 10:01 pm ... Man, Alfred could've dealed with him just fine I bet NoodlesAtNight 10:01 pm ((bah the audio got mildly desynced. sorry)) opatoes 10:02 pm Bruce. Alfred knew how to make a bomb from memory- he's probably gonna be fine Swervester 10:02 pm Magician's knife or real knifw? Oh. Real? NoodlesAtNight 10:02 pm [[Very real.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 10:02 pm DEAD verdigrisprowl 10:03 pm ((WELL, I SUPPOSE HE'S NOT THE JOKER)) NoodlesAtNight 10:03 pm *Nudges Prowl.* [[Trap door.]] verdigrisprowl 10:03 pm *sharp laugh* NoodlesAtNight 10:03 pm (( 😃 )) opatoes 10:03 pm ... Wait, if he's not the Joker, who is? NoodlesAtNight 10:04 pm [[Not quite the laugh Penguin had in mind, he imagines.]] [[And he has no idea.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 10:05 pm ((becasue penguin <3s him)) opatoes 10:06 pm Dracula Cobblepot MedicalMurdersaurus 10:06 pm ((seriously how do none of the characters see the way penguin LIGHTS UP when jim walks in the room siiiiiiigh)) NoodlesAtNight 10:06 pm {{Temper, temper}} SpecsTheSpectralDragon 10:06 pm Don't throw things in front of your subordinates. At least walk into the bathroom, first. NoodlesAtNight 10:06 pm ((they're all blind... as a bat. dohoho)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 10:07 pm ((hue hue hue)) NoodlesAtNight 10:07 pm *...Has a thought. Will keep that thought silent for now.* Swervester 10:08 pm She's standing with her boyfriend! MedicalMurdersaurus 10:08 pm ((gordon's face)) NoodlesAtNight 10:08 pm {{Neheh. Awkwaaaard.}} opatoes 10:08 pm Alfred is unstoppable! MedicalMurdersaurus 10:08 pm What awkward? NoodlesAtNight 10:08 pm {{Him Alfred like her Lee. Him Alfred not know her got sweetspark already.}} MedicalMurdersaurus 10:09 pm Oh. *doesn't get it* NoodlesAtNight 10:09 pm *Well, she's not explaining more than that.* MedicalMurdersaurus 10:09 pm *would moon over Bird even if Bird had a bf so...* Swervester 10:10 pm Oh NoodlesAtNight 10:10 pm [][][]Poisons the well.[][][] Swervester 10:11 pm Um. MedicalMurdersaurus 10:11 pm ((I know we talk about queer coding villains but, man, are there any queer good guys in this show?)) opatoes 10:11 pm Uh. SpecsTheSpectralDragon 10:12 pm *the dragon stretches* Goodnight, Soundwave, everyone. Thanks for having me! NoodlesAtNight 10:12 pm ((not as i can really recall offhand; this IS a fox network show unfortunately. but they do give us way more than we have on any other show, some who do good things at times, and many of the actors are, so i take it)) Swervester 10:12 pm //unfortunate MedicalMurdersaurus 10:12 pm ((I'm glad for canon gays and bis regardless)) NoodlesAtNight 10:12 pm ((most of the cast is pretty woke tbh)) [[Goodnight dragon.]] Swervester 10:13 pm I better head out too. Night all. NoodlesAtNight 10:13 pm [[Goodnight, Swerve.]] verdigrisprowl 10:13 pm ((you promised me a Specific Ship and I am Awaiting that ship. idc if they're villains i am Ready)) MedicalMurdersaurus 10:13 pm Movie done. You Bird want to candy? 😆 NoodlesAtNight 10:13 pm ((all in due time 😄 ))

{{Yes! Bird go candy. Swoop have... some. Three piece.}} verdigrisprowl 10:13 pm (("idc" i say like their villainness isn't also a draw)) NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm ((same)) MedicalMurdersaurus 10:14 pm It Bird candy. Me Swoop give. : > NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm ((half-assed spoiler: they also do something that pissed off the fanboys A LOT and are unapologetic about it being a first so ye)) opatoes 10:14 pm I should get some rest, too. Thank you for the show, Soundwave! Uh. And- sorry about the couch. I can give you a new couch- or if you just want credits, I can actually do that now! verdigrisprowl 10:14 pm ((you had me at "pissed off the fanboys")) NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm ((that's s3 tho)) MedicalMurdersaurus 10:14 pm ((penguin better smooch jim fully on screen )) opatoes 10:15 pm ... wait, baking pie without a recipe? ... I. I'm gonna have to see that later NoodlesAtNight 10:15 pm [[You're welcome. Credits will be fine.]] opatoes 10:15 pm Can do, then! Also, you up for flying later? NoodlesAtNight 10:15 pm {{Swoop still can have three piece. Him Primus say so.}} *Maybe he'll believe that.* NoodlesAtNight 10:16 pm [[We will see. He has been... tired, lately. Perhaps one of the birds will see fit to join you.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 10:16 pm Primus? Keh! *assumes she's joking, he's Ratchet's kid after all, he's got NEGATIVE religious education* opatoes 10:17 pm Tired? You're doing okay- right? NoodlesAtNight 10:18 pm [[Yes. Just a great deal to think about. It will pass.]] {{Yep. You see, Bird show. Come on!}} *Float float. Toward the stairs she goes!* MedicalMurdersaurus 10:18 pm Kay! *scampers along after his borby crush* opatoes 10:18 pm 'Cause you know, if you need help with anything, you can send me a comm- even if you just wanna read or something. NoodlesAtNight 10:19 pm [[Thank you. That - is actually an important offer to him.]] *That hurt to say, but he got it out.* opatoes 10:19 pm ... Anyway, I've gotta go. I've gotta try to figure out flying and stuff. Have a good night, though. NoodlesAtNight 10:19 pm [[Do not fly high off the ground. Stay low. Very low.]] opatoes 10:19 pm ... It is? Like I said, feel free to take it whenever you wanna talk or need a distraction or something. opatoes 10:20 pm You got it! Man- years ago, you probably would've told me the exact opposite. Weird, right? NoodlesAtNight 10:20 pm [[/Very./]] opatoes 10:20 pm Anyways, night, Soundwave. NoodlesAtNight 10:20 pm [[Goodnight.]] verdigrisprowl 10:21 pm ... You let me believe that's a Starscream with a Smokescreen's vocalizer. He's not. NoodlesAtNight 10:22 pm [[...He thought you understood what he was saying.]] verdigrisprowl 10:22 pm What? No. I asked if Starscream's vocalizer had been altered, you confirmed it was likely. *he is :[* NoodlesAtNight 10:23 pm *Thhhhis explains why Prowl took that explanation so well. It was a failed one.* verdigrisprowl 10:24 pm *:[* NoodlesAtNight 10:24 pm [[He said he didn't know what all they'd done, but that they /had/ done things, and that it was Smokescreen's world. He thought-- never mind what he thought. He did an insufficient job of clarifying.]] verdigrisprowl 10:25 pm You could have clarified that it was a Smokescreen with a Starscream body. I spent all night thinking he was Starscream. What if I'd /talked/ to him? He'd start thinking he could get away with talking to /me/ if he puts on a disguise first. NoodlesAtNight 10:26 pm [[He should have. He did not, and he should have. He is sorry. You are correct. That had the potential to ruin your disconnection from Smokescreen. He did not and would never intend to interfere with such a choice.]] verdigrisprowl 10:28 pm *nods* ... Accepted. NoodlesAtNight 10:28 pm *The tiniest of nods.* NoodlesAtNight 10:29 pm [[That mech suffers more abuse at their hands than any other he knows about. He would interfere, but he does not know how; he no longer has any devices capable of blocking their work. The few he had were from sympathetic members of their species to start with, and he could not understand how they worked.]] verdigrisprowl 10:29 pm Mm. NoodlesAtNight 10:30 pm [[If you ever wonder if they have done something to him, chances are that it is so. Guard yourself accordingly.]] *That wasn't to gain sympathy for Smokescreen, mind. That was to note that it's common and Soundwave has no way to protect Prowl from it from the side, other than to note that.* verdigrisprowl 10:31 pm Mm. *that's quite enough of banana-adjacent topics. leans harder on soundwave in an effort to distract him.* NoodlesAtNight 10:32 pm *Doesn't know what to make of the Mms. Fidget.* [[Perhaps he should--]] *Oh. And now he's confused.* [[...All right.]] *Leans on Prowl. Is this what he's supposed to do now? He honestly isn't sure anymore.* verdigrisprowl 10:32 pm *he'll take it.* NoodlesAtNight 10:35 pm [[...He hopes the Gordon human does not give in.]] verdigrisprowl 10:35 pm He already has. NoodlesAtNight 10:37 pm [[More. Give in more. It's not--]] *Shakes his head a little.* [[He could do better than this. It's not impossible.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:38 pm [[Our society and species are infinitely more difficult to work with and you threw Fuse out. It is /not/ impossible.]] verdigrisprowl 10:39 pm ... I also hope he moves back up. I—understand his position. NoodlesAtNight 10:39 pm *Nodding.* [[He hopes so as well.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:40 pm [[He does not get the time to hear about as much in your department as he once did. It's - it goes well? What of Minus?]] verdigrisprowl 10:42 pm *optics flicker a bit brighter* Minus is doing well. Thus far she's been learning how things work inside of the department—paperwork and such—but I've been able to send her out with more experienced officers on a couple of calls with next to no risk of violence. Cleaning graffiti and such. NoodlesAtNight 10:45 pm *Oh. Oh, that's better. He found a good subject. Thank Primus.*

[[Good. Better that she learn there are other ways to handle things. Of course, he himself would leave the graffiti reading "Prowl is Right"...]] NoodlesAtNight 10:47 pm [[But he is far more morally malleable than she will need to be, and it is best that she learn from you and your officers. It does no good to have anyone else clean a wall just to put a bug in it.]] *Pause.* [[For one thing, suddenly clean spots are far too noticeable for that sort of activity.]] verdigrisprowl 10:47 pm Graffiti is graffiti. *still, pleased.* NoodlesAtNight 10:49 pm [[Perhaps. Buzzsaw would have his head if he did not ask this--]] *Twist.* [[Would you consider designating free spaces where it is allowed? Where anyone may go to express themselves, so that their voices are not fully restricted and you have less to clean elsewhere?]] NoodlesAtNight 10:50 pm [[Volunteered locations, agreed upon by many.]] verdigrisprowl 10:51 pm That's not up to me, but I'd be for it. NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm *Brightens. It doesn't have to be up to Prowl, exactly; it just has to be something he wouldn't fight against if it were proposed to those who DID control it.* verdigrisprowl 10:52 pm I'd recommend putting them far inside and far outside the city walls, though. Or else the only thing anyone will be expressing is how much they loathe the opposite faction, until ten bots show up with purple and red paint cans and start a turf war. verdigrisprowl 10:53 pm That's what most of the graffiti we've been dealing with is—factional rhetoric, mainly along Metroplex's wall, the divider between Autobot and Decepticon neighborhoods. NoodlesAtNight 10:57 pm *Nodding.* [[He has noticed. He still disagrees with the divisions, but until that can be made to change...]] *Frustrated, sharp motion with one hand.* [[Until then, it would be helpful. And to him as well. Public opinion tracking.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:58 pm [[He is pleased to know you are not against it. That will make carefully whispering into the right audials so much easier.]] verdigrisprowl 10:58 pm Is all that intrigue necessary to get a few walls to spray paint on? NoodlesAtNight 10:59 pm [[After what he did? It may be. Besides, our leader is... well. He does not need to describe Starscream to /you./ ]] NoodlesAtNight 11:00 pm *Holds up a hand. Correction, please hold.* [[What 'he' did. He knows. Still. Perception is what it is.]] verdigrisprowl 11:01 pm Hm. Just don't try to sell it as a solution to graffiti. Or else when graffiti continues to exist in places other than the art walls, someone will try to use that as an excuse to take the walls down. NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm [[Noted and highlighted. He will avoid that topic.]] *Settling down a bit now.* [[Have you had any ideas of your own? Any unusual improvements that might make your - or Minus' - life easier?]] verdigrisprowl 11:04 pm ... More new hires to replace the masses I'm about to fire. But that's for me to find, not you. ((brb)) NoodlesAtNight 11:05 pm ((np)) NoodlesAtNight 11:09 pm *Brightens more. Oh, this IS a good conversation now.* [][][]Masses?[][][] *Masses is a word meant for big numbers. Prowl does not use numbers carelessly. Soundwave is almost in Prowl's lap, he's leaned in so close. Curiosity!* verdigrisprowl 11:13 pm Mhm. You gave me quite a long list to work through. NoodlesAtNight 11:15 pm [[And you are--]] *He almost doesn't dare talk about it, like mentioning it will somehow make the multiverse force Prowl to go back on all of this. But he can't NOT speak about it. It's too different. Too good.* [[You are finding what you need? They really will be fired and tried?]] verdigrisprowl 11:17 pm *the ghost of a smile* I've got a couple of mad geniuses in Internal Affairs. We're digging up mountains of dirt. Of course, you're only privy to this information as the head of Four I. verdigrisprowl 11:18 pm But expect some comms from them in the near future. They'll be looking for some footage to confirm their findings. NoodlesAtNight 11:20 pm [[Nothing you have said or will say passes his lips. Obviously. Or his mind.]]

*He's going to be dizzy with shock in a moment. Digging up mountains of dirt. Masses of foul cops getting tossed out on their afts. Actually getting to /help/ with the footage he collects--*

[[And he's - that--]] *One moment. Gathering together again.* [[They will actually agree to trust him as a source?]] verdigrisprowl 11:23 pm You're the optics and audials of Iacon. Collecting footage and passing it where it needs to go is your job. NoodlesAtNight 11:24 pm *He pulls away, but only so he can sit back on the couch and stare up at the ceiling. This is nothing short of amazing, to him.* verdigrisprowl 11:26 pm ... Did— Did you not know that's part of your job. NoodlesAtNight 11:28 pm [[Collecting and forwarding footage has been his job for longer than he will bother calculating. It is only that he did not think anyone else would see past his name.]]

*And now he's sitting up again. Look at all this movement. You have got him all stirred up, Prowl. Nicely done.* [[Thank you. And them.]] *Close once more.* [[This is what should have been before. He does not know if you can understand, having always been on the other side, but...]] NoodlesAtNight 11:29 pm *That's just gonna hang there. He'll nod. Hopefully Prowl gets it.* verdigrisprowl 11:30 pm What—kicking out the cops that abuse their position? I was demoted for saying we should be doing that. NoodlesAtNight 11:32 pm [[You were?]] verdigrisprowl 11:34 pm Well—not JUST that. For saying that the enforcer system was corrupt and that for the sake of Cybertron we needed to clean up. verdigrisprowl 11:36 pm I could get away with speaking my mind under Sentinel. He didn't agree with me, but he—respected me. I could be outspoken. As soon as he died, I was shoved in a backroom to crunch numbers. NoodlesAtNight 11:36 pm *And Sentinel has just been semi-begrudgingly given one (1) single point of respect.* NoodlesAtNight 11:37 pm *Which feels very wrong somehow, but Prowl isn't allowed to lie to him about things that important, and so he's just going to have to suck it up and acknowledge it. Which he has. With one whole point. For a PRIME.* verdigrisprowl 11:38 pm Orion agreed too, but by the time he was in charge, it was a moot point. NoodlesAtNight 11:39 pm *Oh god, that's an even more grit-fanged point. He really doesn't like having to give that one away.* [[...If ever he finds a way to time travel, he will consider finding your younger self and getting you into a higher, safer position.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:42 pm [[For now, if you have no objections, he would show the depths of his appreciation for all you are by offering you... nearly anything you could ask for, he thinks. Within mostly reasonable - and legal - limits.]] verdigrisprowl 11:43 pm Oh, don't waste your time. If you ever find a way to time travel, kill Nominus, Proteus, and Ratbat, get Shockwave appointed to Prime—BEFORE he loses his face, mind—watch him carefully to ensure he isn't messing with any ores, and shut Megatron up after After The Ark but before Towards Peace. NoodlesAtNight 11:45 pm *He doesn't much care what it is. The world's largest collection of police dramas? A night of having every tiny wish catered to? Someone who needs a punch in the teeth to get the daylights scared out of them? What, Prowl? What? Anything. Tell him.*

[[Oh, those were all already planned. He does listen to you, you know.]] [[Except the part about Megatron. He is not yet familiar enough with that mech's writings to have thought of that himself.]] verdigrisprowl 11:46 pm His early writing was fine, before he slid off the rails into xenophobic apocalyptic extremism. verdigrisprowl 11:47 pm ... And I'm not wholly sure about Shockwave. Take that one with a grain of salt. He TALKED like an anti-Functionist progressive, but evidence suggests he was working on his ore project since long before his empurata, so that could all have been a façade. verdigrisprowl 11:48 pm Put him in charge, jump a few million years forward, see how that goes, jump back and take him back out if need be. NoodlesAtNight 11:52 pm [[As you recommend.]] *Soundwave dips pretty low there. He is being absolutely serious. Nothing about his mental voice says otherwise.* verdigrisprowl 11:52 pm *Prowl has too much power.* NoodlesAtNight 11:53 pm *Not so much. As he said, he was already thinking about quite a lot of that on his own.* *They've got to test tampering with timelines sooner or later, after all.* verdigrisprowl 11:54 pm ... I shouldn't be advocating assassinating senators. *a sentence like that is usually followed up with a retraction of the original advocation. it isn't.* NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm *After a moment more:* [[...If that should mean it changes this in the process,]] *Gesturing to the space between them.* [[Then he will try to find you again. Or at least to see to it that you are happy.]]

*But that's too personal, isn't it? He quickly keeps going.* [[The senators in question are not alive now. You do nothing but partake in a thought exercise.]] *And that is his official word on it.* NoodlesAtNight 11:56 pm [[Besides, he has his own mind and is capable of acting on it by himself.]] verdigrisprowl 11:57 pm Pff. Just track me down, hand me a magnet, and tell me I'm neat. My standards were extremely low back then. NoodlesAtNight 11:58 pm *Disgruntled huff.* [[He will not be so lazy and cheap. You will be treated the way you deserve to be treated, and no less.]] Today verdigrisprowl 12:00 am Don't be TOO nice to me, I don't think I could handle that much positive attention back then. NoodlesAtNight 12:01 am [[Then he would be slow and patient. After all, the planet wouldn't be going anywhere anymore ... ideally.]] verdigrisprowl 12:02 am Trust me. Magnets and a single bland compliment are the best way to start. NoodlesAtNight 12:03 am [[Very well. But he can do better than that /now,/ if you will let him?]] verdigrisprowl 12:03 am ... All right. *a tad nervously. How effusive is this going to get.* NoodlesAtNight 12:05 am *That depends. How does Prowl take to being picked up and carried over Soundwave's shoulder like a sack?* verdigrisprowl 12:06 am *Oh. Very well. Carry on.* NoodlesAtNight 12:11 am *So it shall be.* [[Your department is in good hands, he has an intriguing forensic series bookmarked upstairs on his workstation, and there is an octopus-shaped magnet waiting for you on the small stand by the door. Let us be off.]]

*Already walking.* [[Oh, and he intends to perform a magic trick for you.]] *Huff* [[Before the night is done, he will raise the temperature back at your apartment without ever touching the thermostat.]] verdigrisprowl 12:12 am *actually laughs* I look forward to seeing this trick. NoodlesAtNight 12:12 am *Joins in and closes the stairwell door behind them.*
