i've been trying to stay positive about yjs all season because i desperately wanted to keep loving it but after last night's ep i just cannot pretend it's well-written anymore. that was the most nothing, poorly-paced episode i think we've gotten, at least for an ep that should be a CRUCIAL turning point. there was virtually zero exploration of the worst choice the teens make in 96 (the ritual discussion should have been a fucking bottle episode, tbh, with all that should have gone into it), and too much time spent recapping what we already knew in 21 (without it actually meaning anything/changing the characters when they learned). oof. just truly disappointing tbh.

Versus Masterlist | Outer Banks Masterlist
///
“Just find a seat guys!” Kiara called over the lull of conversation from the crowded restaurant, breaking up an argument between Pope and JJ about where they were going to sit. Booth or table.  
“Table! Right there!” Pope pointed to the table and four chairs in the back corner of The Wreck. The four of you made a dash for the empty spot, weaving passed other tables. Memorial Day weekend always brought in the crowds and The Wreck was especially packed today. Kiara was still behind the counter, finishing her shift, as the four of you made it to the table.  
You took the seat against the open floor to ceiling window, not wanting to sit with your back toward the restaurant. Without warning John B took a seat on your lap, juxtaposed so that he could face the table.  
“What are you doing?” You asked, face to shoulder blades with him. You had to lean around his body to even see JJ sitting across from you.  
“There’s only four seats.” He replied, matter of fact, as if it was obvious why he had decided your lap was an acceptable chair.  
“So, sit in one.”  
“What about Kie? You’ll deprive her of a chair?”  
“She works here, I’m sure she can find a chair somewhere.” You pointed out.  
He leaned back against you, grabbing your arms and wrapping them around his waist before tilting his head back so he could look at you, smile in place. “I’m not moving. Your lap is comfortable.”
“Well don’t say it like you’re surprised.” You remarked, not sure how that annoyed you more than him sitting there in the first place.  
John B turned back to the table, grabbing a menu from the middle and joining in the discussion Pope and JJ were having. You sat back in your seat, giving yourself a little distance from John B but keeping your arms around him. One thing that was so great about the pogues was how close you all were to each other. But sometimes that blessing was also a curse. All your friends seemed to exist on the spectrum of too affectionate and that was okay except when you had a crush and signs were so mixed up that you couldn’t really tell if it was reciprocated or if they were just being friendly. Did John B like you too? Or was this just how he was with everyone?  
And lately you’d noticed JJ paying a little more attention than he used to. You’d always assumed that he either had a thing for Kiara or didn’t want to chance ruining a friendship for something more but recently he’d been showing up more, hanging out one on one, doing things for you that were a little more considerate than he typically was. You knew this was just them though. John B and JJ were both affectionate, and you’d definitely toed the line with both of them. It was easy to do in such a small knit group. And you were all close, they were your best friends. Hugs, holding hands, small touches, kisses on cheeks, it all passed between you as nothing, as a sign of friendship.  
Still you found yourself confused about both of them. Did John B like you? Did JJ like you? Did you like either of them? That was a given, they were incredibly different but both attractive, sweet, funny, not always boyfriend material maybe but you shouldn’t be rushing into things anyway.  
Kiara joined the small party shortly after you were all seated, offering to grab John B a chair from the back so he didn’t crush your legs.  
“She’s fine, you’re fine?” He asked looking back at you.  
“I’m fine.” You promised. It didn’t bother you that he was sitting on your lap. It bothered you that you weren’t sure what him sitting on your lap meant.  
Kiara raised an eyebrow at you in question but you just smiled, “thumbs up friend,” you joked, offering her double thumbs up as reassurance that it was fine.  
John B was already immersed in ordering, his somewhat long hair moving with him as he turned his head back and forth, menu then waitress then menu then waitress as if he couldn’t remember the name of the order he always got. JJ and Pope went next and then Kiara and finally it wound back around to you and John B passed the menu back.  
“I know what’s on the menu.” You replied, pushing it back toward him.  
With all the orders in you were left alone at the table with your friends again, eye focused on the back of John B’s head as he talked. His hair was getting long. You weren’t sure if it was a direct result of not having Big John around or if he was just too broke to bother with a haircut, either way it had gotten significantly longer in the last few months and you were surprisingly partial to it. While he sat there on your lap you moved your arms from around his waist so that you could begin separating strands of hair on his head.  
John B leaned his head back slightly at the feeling of your hands in his hair, “what are you doing?”
“If you’re gonna sit on my lap, I’m gonna braid your hair.”  
“Okay.” He nodded without hesitation.  
“I’m surprised, your hair is so soft, I thought it’d be greasy.” You commented, weaving tiny plaits into his hair.  
“Of course it’s soft,” he jerked away for a second to shake his hair out and brush a hand through it like he was in some Pantene commercial, “Why do you think I always go to yours after surfing? So I can use your shampoo.”  
“John B!” You smacked his arm, braids forgotten, “that stuff is expensive!”  
“She’ll kill you now,” JJ laughed, “that’s her kook shit.”  
“Shut up JJ, I know you’ve used it to.”  
“I have not! That shit smells like fucking starburst.” He replied defensively.  
“And an entire bottle of it went missing from my house the day after you slept over?” You questioned.  
“When did JJ sleep over your house?” John B asked, twisting on your lap to look at you.  
“I replaced it!” JJ argued.  
“Only because I dragged your ass all the way to Chapel Hill!” You replied, ignoring John B’s questioning look.  
He looked at Kiara who was trying not to laugh. She missed the concern on his face as he mouthed the words ‘when did this happen’ to her. She only shrugged.  
“I got you that fancy face shit too!” JJ pointed out.  
“I thought you bought that yourself?” Pope asked, cutting into the conversation.  
John B frowned, Pope knew about this trip to Chapel Hill you and JJ supposedly took together.  
“I did buy it myself. I bought the shampoo too because ‘someone’, JJ, conveniently forgot their wallet.”  
“Next time.” JJ promised.  
“Good I’m going tomorrow, you can come with me.” You replied.  
The conversation dissolved into something else but John B couldn’t concentrate. Suddenly he felt hyper aware of you and JJ. Had Pope and Kiara not noticed? Or did all of you know something he didn’t? How had he not noticed before? He couldn’t see you without twisting back in your lap but he could see JJ perfectly, sitting right across the table from you. Had he sat there on purpose?  
John B felt like he was spiraling, suddenly noticing the way JJ kept looking over at you and making faces or directing all his jokes your way. There were very few secrets amongst the pogues and John B had always been upfront with Pope and JJ about his feelings for you. So why was his best friend stepping on his turf behind his back? Not that you were some prize to claim but he had to know what he was doing?  
“Whose house?” Pope asked as everyone stood up to leave.  
“I can’t walk you guys, John B crushed my legs.” You said, leaning back against the chair and stretching your legs out.  
John B watched as JJ came around the table to where you were. He put his hands on the back of your chair and leaned over you. Did you always smile like that at people or was that new? Was that just for JJ?  
“Want a ride?” JJ offered.  
“Depends, where to?” You joked and he kissed the top of your head before coming around the chair so you could piggyback on him.  
John B was the last to follow you out of The Wreck, staring in confusion and something else, something close to envy, as JJ carried you out of the restaurant.

TGM Bonus Content #11
HELLO folks this was a long time coming but here is the week 2 elimination from Tae’s perspective ;;;-; also i know BC are usually irrelevant to the main story but this one has some pretty important info so i suggest you read,,,,, it’s only 1.8k 
---
Everything feels way too official.
It makes Taehyung’s throat dry. It was a little easier to say fuck the competition earlier with Y/n. Now, after being properly voted out and Sejin directing him to the confessional shed, things were different.
It isn’t that he regrets his decision either; it’s just a little scary leaving everyone else behind. The loneliness feels almost tangible, like a film of sweat on his palms that he can’t wipe off.
He stands outside in silence for what feels like a icy eternity. He knows what he has to do, and yet he waits at the door of the confessional instead of going inside.
Eventually, Sejin returns. He’s quiet for a moment, clearly trying to give the recently eliminated contestant space, but that’s exactly what Taehyung’s stomach turns over. His heart skips a beat when the producer gestures towards the shed, and Taehyung forces himself to speak up.
“What changes now?” Taehyung asks, voice croaky. “I can’t have sex with Y/n, I know, but what else?” He eyes the door of the shed warily. “Is this the last time I’ll use this?”
Sejin shrugs. “The confessional booth has never been an enforced requirement, it’s just preferred for the players in the show. You don’t have to come here anymore.”
“No, that’s not-” Taehyung forces himself not to feel too nervous, aware that his anxieties are making this bigger than it needs to be. “...I like kinda talking to the fans, that’s all. I wanna come back.”
“Then you’re welcome to,” the producer responds easily, before his face softens. Reaching out to place a hand on the younger man’s shoulder, Sejin gives it a reassuring squeeze. “You’re no less important on the show, and certainly no less valued amongst Y/n and the others just because you’re eliminated, okay?”
Taehyung narrows his eyes, even as the warm touch soothes him. “But you were going to send us home once we get voted out.”
Sejin breathes out slowly, lips moving silently like he’s deciding whether to speak or not. His eyes lift towards the cameras attached to the exterior wall of the house, before using the grip on Taehyung’s shoulder to step inside the shed. Kang and Shin are nowhere to be seen, and the small room is cool and quiet. “A lot of things are changing on the show,” Sejin answers carefully after he slides the door shut again, flicking the light on. “Partly because of the viewers’ response; partly because of all of you.”
“Us?” Almost like instinct, Taehyung finds himself going to sit on the stool. Sejin’s ruggedly handsome face is a little pinched as he double-checks the confessional camera is turned off, and it makes the boy worry.
“I’m telling you this because I trust you with the information, but do not forget you’re under a legal non-disclosure,” Sejin warns. After receiving a bewildered nod, he continues. “All of this was a gimmick,” he explains wearily. “The higher-ups told us our viewership was tanking due to bigger competitors and that we needed something to capture the attention of younger demographics, the 18-30 bracket, and I know from my girlfriend how addictive those reality shows on television can be. All of this - the big house, the pool, the prompts - it was all just a marketing gimmick.”
Taehyung doesn’t know how to respond. Sitting there with his mouth open like a fish seems sufficient, as Sejin continues.
“My boss just wanted all the pretty visuals and clickbait to get people’s attention. He couldn’t care less about the show or the people on it as long as the viewership increased. I don’t believe I ever told you this, but I’m from the HR department. I’m not even meant to be working directly with shoots, but the original proposal was so shocking that I applied to take it over. I tried to budget in for things like proper food and personal items, adjusted the application form to try and get genuine and safe people.” Sejin sighs out, arms crossed tightly in discomfort at the honesty. “My boss wasn’t happy about cutting corners in other areas like expensive sex toys and cameramen, but once the views started skyrocketing and the fanbase on social media began to grow, he became a little more comfortable with the idea.”
Taehyung closes his mouth with a small frown. “And now he’s happy with it?”
The producer laughs without humour. “He doesn’t get it,” Sejin admits, “can you believe that the views peak when the eight of you are together? Every breakfast, lunch, dinner, or meeting, they shoot up. Sometimes more than the actual sex, the viewers want to see you. So that’s why it’s not important that you’ve been eliminated. We made the decision to keep everyone around because I don’t think it’s wise that we separate you. And my boss wants fatter pockets, so he can’t afford risking the view drop if the house gets emptier and emptier. Do you understand?”
The masseuse nods mechanically. “Yeah, I think so.”
The uncertainty isn’t enough for Sejin, who purses his lips, brows knitted together. “Taehyung, I’m telling you this because I want you to prioritise your enjoyment here. I can see you are becoming close with some of the people in this house, and I want to encourage that. Not because of the views, but because I know they’re all good people that care about you, and you deserve to get something out of this experience. The CEO and main council of Bangasm would wring you all dry if they could, so don’t feel guilty about taking full advantage of whatever they’re giving you, whether it’s food or WiFi or, I don’t know, the pool. And please don’t forget that I’m on your side.”
Sejin clearly isn’t expecting the hug, because when Taehyung launches off the stool and wraps his arms tightly around the larger man, he stumbles back a few steps. After a moment, though, he brings his arms up to return the embrace, and Taehyung tightens his grip and savours it for a moment longer before letting go.
“I knew you were a good egg,” Taehyung announces proudly, setting himself back on the stool. “Let’s do this exit interview!”
As he sets up the camera and pulls out his phone to find the questions, the producer tries to hide his fond smile. He doesn’t do a very good job, but Taehyung chooses not to point it out.
“Okay, Week Two exit interview, Kim Taehyung,” Sejin announces in the smooth tone he always uses for anything official. Taehyung prefers his regular voice, but decides not to mention that either. “First of all, how do you feel now?”
Taehyung hums. “Should I pretend to be sad for views? I can fake cry if you want.”
Sejin sends him a warning glare, but that smile hasn’t left. “Honesty is preferred.”
“Okay,” the younger boy allows, deflating a little. “I feel okay. I was sad before, but I want to turn this into something positive, like an opportunity instead of a loss, you know?”
“And were you surprised about Y/n’s choice?”
“A little.” Taehyung pouts at Sejin’s raised brows. “I’m not lying this time! I know that I told Y/n to vote for me and we decided it, but I guess I kinda thought maybe she’d change her mind and save me. But now that it’s done, I’m really glad it’s not the others. I don’t want to see them upset.”
Sejin’s head drops, almost seeming touched by Tae’s response, though he busies himself with reading off his phone. “Is there anything you would have done differently if you could start the competition again?”
Taehyung bites his lip, thinking hard. After a few moments, a frown has graced his features. “I think I would’ve been a bit more selfish if I knew I was only going to get two weeks when everyone else got more. I just kinda wanna go back in there and kiss Y/n, but I can’t. That part definitely sucks.”
“What are you going to do now that you’ve been eliminated?”
At this question, Taehyung brightens back up again. “I want to spend time doing the things I love. Watching anime, gaming, I wanna train Mango so that maybe she can become an inside dog. And I want to get closer with the others now that I don’t have to worry about competing against them.” If Taehyung is honest with himself - which he does prefer to be - he’ll admit that he never felt like he was competing against anyone.
“Finally, since your elimination, the fans have been tweeting their reactions real-time, and the #WeLoveYouTaehyung hashtag has actually entered the trending tweets for South Korea. Is there anything you want to say to the viewers of the show, to those that support you?”
It’s hard not to tear up at the thought of people at home, cheering him on and supporting him. He blinks hard, nose twitching. “I’m sorry I couldn’t win for you. But I hope you continue to support me, and I’m going to try and chat with you all on Twitter more now. Thank you for the love.”
Sejin smiles sadly, reaching up to switch off the camera. “That’s all, buddy,” he says in a small voice, “you did well.”
Taehyung waits for the disappointment or the cold realisation to creep up inside him at those words - that’s all. But they never do. Yes, maybe Taehyung is done with the competition. Maybe he wouldn’t win the mysterious unknown prize, and maybe he’d have to restrain himself from kissing or touching Y/n like he wanted to. But there was a kind of liberation in not having to worry about that stuff anymore and just focus on enjoying himself.
An idea lights up Taehyung’s head suddenly, making a grin stretch across his lips. “Thank you, PD,” he says with a small bow, “I’ll go head upstairs now.”
Sejin reminds him that he’s in the bunks from tonight onwards for the week, but even that doesn’t damper his excited anticipation. He dashes inside, catching sight of the guys and Y/n in the kitchen, clearly preparing a meal of sorts.
Everyone’s staring at him, probably waiting to see if he’s going to put on a smile or burst into tears. Taehyung chooses the former. “I’m going upstairs to have a shower,” he says, “don’t wait up. I’ll come back down when I’m done.”
Y/n bites her lip, guilt stricken on her face, but before she can pull him into a conversation, Taehyung hurries back out and up the stairs.
For the first time in almost the whole two weeks, Taehyung locks his bedroom door.
It takes barely any time to open his computer and load the site he wants. Down the sides of the page, sponsored ads mingle with genuine ones, but the top banner is exactly what he’s after.
He clicks through, enters his credit card details, and grins when the confirmation comes up, displaying the purchase information and a link.
Thank you for your purchase! The order was successful.

OH BOY OH BOY DO I HAVE SOME HCS FOR YOU (mainly gonna be sbi or bench trio bc them,, *gently holds*
Ler!Phil
I don't see this much but Phil using his beard to tk,,
Not only dies Phil use his wings to tk he also uses them to trap the lee, like a little ball they can't escape >:)
I've seen designs of Phil with sharpish nails and I'm just like
*e ye s e m o ji*
Mainly does light tickles unless provoked alot or told otherwise
Lee!Phil
If I had a nickel for everytime Phil has accidently tickled himself w/ his own wings I'd have, way more than nickels, which is quite alot and honestly it's not surprising that it's happened so often
Tinyinnit would sometimes use Phil's feathers to tickle him, ofc Phil would always get him back because he always feels the feathers getting plucked
Honestly doesn't try to escape much unless in a ler mood because Dadza doesn't have the heart to push his chilren away
Lee!Ranboo
This enderboy is too ticklish for his own good
Holy shit
He wasn't really used to physical contact so whenever he and Tubbo platonically cuddled he'd always giggle and pull away bc Tubbo's hair was tickling his neck and he was kinda confused at first but he finally asked about it and was relieved when Tubbo's face lit up
Enderman chirps and purrs while being tickled, that's how you tell if he's comfortable and happy
PAW PADS. EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. His hands do the little twitch thing cats do in their sleep when you touch them, it's really endearing
He now initiates tickle fights for the sake of physical affection
He rarely wins ofc
Which is kinda funny bc
Ler!Ranboo
LONG LANKY MAN
TALLBOO
His arms are really long conpared to his body and the just barely touch the ground if he hunches over (which is all the time in his current house)
Far reach, can stop the lee from running easily
Two tails pog? Prepare for trouble, and make it double? Fluffy tips? Can latch onto stuff in addition to having long arms
Half the time he doesn't even mean to tickle the lee but when he does
Uhoh
He can be evil if his knows the lee is comfortable with it. Especially if provoked
He makes really dry puns in between teasing, sometimes will ask genuine questions and make conversation as if he isn't wrecking your shit—
(Exp: "I can't beLEEve I didn't know this sooner." "I didn't know you were ticklish here. You hidin' stuff from me [lee name]?" "Wanna name any other spots for me? Or do I need to find out myself?"
[If the lee names a spot]: 1. "I forget, did I already try that? It seems you'll have to name another spot." 2. "Really now? I never knew that~."
[If the lee doesn't name a spot/tells him to shut up]: 1. "Well that was rude. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. Are you ticklish here? What about here? Oh I think here~." (He'll keep moving spots each time) 2. I can't think of a number 2 LABEUIS onto Tubbo hcs, apologies if I'm rambling alot
Lee!Tubbo
Chaotic gremlin child, usually gets tickled to take him down a peg
It usually works
Usually.
Tiny horns, long goat/ramlike ears that flick whenever they get tickled
If the base of his horns get tickled he'll most likely shake his head at rapid speeds so be warned
Well, anywhere on his head really
(noooooo I'm not projecting I swear/s)
He definetly snorts, though he'll deny it to the day he dies
If somethings tickling him he'll only let you know if he thinks it was an accident, which isn't the best idea bc the ler just immediatly looks like '>:)'
Will definetly run, but he honestly enjoys the chase, even if he never makes it very far because he's SHORT/lh/hj
Good at hiding, like holy cow, he'll literally be in a tiny little crevice and just stare at the ler, that is until he giggles and they turn around and see a tiny ram boi staring at them
And the chase is on again
Ler!Tubbo
Remember when I said usually in the lee hcs?
You'd better hope usually is all the time
Tubbo is a man of revenge
Evil revenge indeed
He'll just deadpan stare at the former ler and do one of the two things
1. Reach out his hands for cuddles, but the cuddles are a lie! You've been fooled! Absolutely outplayed! Now get wrecked!
2. Stand up and say "Run." You already know what's coming :)
Will have existential crisises™ while tickling the now lee (aka the sleep deprived conversations we see on Ranboo's streams) and the confusion just makes the lee laugh harder
(Exp that totally isn't me projecting my 4am thoughts: "You know, I've always wondered why children cry the second they're born, do you think humans live a life of constant pain and decay since they're born, but as we get older we just get used to the constant turmoil? Do you think that whenever we 'get hurt' so to speak, the pain just intensifies?")
Whenever the lee laughs harder during his dilema he'll say something like "Hey! Are you laughing at me? This is an important discussion! Do you think tax fraud should be legalized?!"
I HAVE SO MANY MORE FOR THE REST OF SBI BUT I FEEL LIKE AN ANNOYANCE AND THAT I'M RAMBLING SO I'M GONNA LEAVE IT HERE SHSYSS/gen -Vio
OHHHH wow ok theres a lot to unpack here *eyes*
phil using his beard to tickle,,,,,,,,thinks about it
lee!phil. so true
i’ve seen the headcanon the ranboo makes enderman chirps when tickled and it’s just. *gently holds him*
the concept of ranboo being an evil ler....mmmm i like that :0
tubbo shaking his head rapidly and snorting while tickled <3333
TUBBO HAVING RANDOM CONVOS WHILE WRECKING SBDJJDKDJ THATS SUCH A FUNNY CONCEPT
THESE WERE ALL SUCH GOOD HEADCANONS. thank you vio!! although, can you maybe split these into multiple asks next time, like one for each character? i just don’t want people to have to scroll down such a long ask to get to the next post on their dash bshsjdnkdkd /nm!

everything else goes away | Poe Dameron x Reader
Request:  hiyaaa, i’ve been feeling a little bit emotionally numb(?) is that even something idk. but i was just wondering if you would be able to write something like the reader has been a little bit detached to poe and everybody else and it’s very weird bc the reader is usually very social everywhere and anywhere and poe just want to know what’s wrong and help her. thankyou you are a sweetheart and also i love your writing so much they make me warm :)
A/N: Thank you very much! I understand that and hope this is what you wanted or at least good enough <3
Rating: T
Warning: Reader is emotionally empty. There is naughty language.
Word count: 811, apparently!!
Summary: Poe notices that you haven’t seemed to care much about anything lately and even though he can’t fix you, he can be there.
Tumblr media
GIF credit: martinmcdonagh
                                         ----------------------------------
Poe noticed you’d been staring at a wrench you were holding for the past ten minutes.
It seemed like you were always staring off into space lately.
Where he was used to you laughing and talking animatedly with your friends, you would sit there silently with empty eyes like there was no one around you.
He didn’t like it.
“Hey, buddy,” he said almost tentatively, like his words would snap something; whether that be your possibly fragile mental state or his body should your mental state be that of barely concealed anger.
“Pass me the wrench.” You sounded like a poorly-made droid.
He grabbed your wrist, lifted your arm to move the tool you were holding closer to your face. “Uh, sweetheart, you’re holding the wrench.”
You blinked in confusion and then looked up at him.
Without even saying anything.
Hand leaving your wrist, he rubbed the back of his neck a little awkwardly.
“Everyone’s gonna play some sabacc and have a few drinks tonight if you’re interested.”
“Maybe another time.” Your mind seemed elsewhere and you were walking away when Poe opened his mouth to say something else.
“Y/N, wait!”
“We need to have a chat, Commander Dameron.”
That wasn’t your voice, but one of his pilots stepping in front of him and blocking his view of you.
He looked around the pilot while they told him whatever they needed to; you were walking out of the room.
You walked farther away and he had to talk to the person in front of him for the next few minutes, tapping his foot impatiently all the while.
Once the conversation was finished as quickly as it could be, he dashed out of ship maintenance in search of wherever you were.
Not the dining hall, not the command center, not the base’s cantina, not in any corridors, not the lounge, not the conference room, and definitely not in your quarters where your bunk mate very angrily asked him why he was sniffing around you.
His answer that you smelled good was only half of a joke, but it nearly had him punched and he had to run away quickly.
He walked out to the hangar, hands on his hips as you weren’t there, and BB-8 rolled up to him whirring.
Poe...Y/N...leave...sad.
“Did you see which way she went?” He followed the way the droid gestured with a metal arm, running to a nearby grassy hill and climbing it to see you laying in the open field beyond it.
He jogged to you and sat sound next to you with his legs crossed.
You stared up at the sky.
Did you even look at him when he walked over?
All you were doing was absentmindedly running your fingers through blades of grass.
“You wanna tell me why my favorite pilot is suddenly not around anymore?”
“I’m here.”
“You’ve been acting like you’re somewhere else for about a month now.”
“Didn’t think anyone’d notice.”
Biting his lip, he ran a hand through his hair. “I did and I’m worried about you, about the girl who used to make fun of me with that pretty smile.”
You shook your head.
“The girl who used to drink me under the table during every sabacc game and yet be way more sober than I am.”
“It’s an unhealthy habit.”
“But we had fun and everyone loved having you around, and now it’s like you’re not even there in the rare moments you agree to hang out.”
“Maybe I’ve been busy.”
“Cut the vague shit! What is your problem?”
“Everything.”
“You’re not going to answer me.”
“I did answer you with everything.”
His brow furrowed slightly, unsure of what to say to that answer.
You glanced at him and then away. “It’s like I was too sad and now I don’t feel anything, it’s like I’m...floating along while everyone else is living and I don’t know how to fix it.”
Despite your apparent lack of emotion, your voice did crack and Poe’s heart broke.
The war was too much for everyone and most people were only living to avoid the emptiness that you were experiencing.
“I can fix it,” a promise he couldn’t really keep since the only way to fix it was to end the war, and even then you might still be numb to everything.
“Poe.”
Your tone echoed his own correct thoughts, that there was no way he could fix this any more than you could.
And maybe sometimes things didn’t need to be righted as soon as possible, maybe they could simply be there and someone could help to hold you steady until a solution was found.
He carefully laid down beside you and slipped his hand into yours.
Turning his head to look at you even though the grass poked at his face, he promised quite truthfully, “We can totally fix it later.”

hi- I’m not sure if you’re the right person to ask, but I wanted to know how to start a fanfic writing tumblr- I mean, I’m just not sure how to start since I’ve never posted anything on my account- I’m sorry if this is an inconvenience-
Don’t worry about it. I’m a little offended that you would think you’re coming to the wrong place 😂.
Imma break it down for you.
BTW this post is long bc I wanted to cover all bases
First of all, if you’re on tumblr mobile, then that’s fantastic and we’ll start with that first. If you’re on desktop, I would like to suggest getting it on your phone because it’s more accessible and easier to manage than doing it on the computer. The only time I go to the computer is when I’m going to post fics, but we’ll get there.
I know you said you’re wondering how to start posting fics but I gotta give you some advice before that. Because there are just some things I cannot stand when it comes to some fanfic blogs, alright?
Be easy on your color scheme. I wouldn’t put any bright colors because it could hurt someone’s eyes, and sometimes it looks really bad. Going along with that, you should be careful what your second color is on your blog (let’s say that your base color was a maroon, and then you’d choose a color similar to that/darker than that. It’ll be hard to read the things in your bio, and it’s frustrating)
This is obvious, but make sure you have a profile and header picture, it’s more appealing rather than tumblrs default.
Turn ON asks and then proceed to do it for anonymous questions, because that’s the only way you get requests. Some people do it off anon but that’s not as common.
You can do this on desktop and a safari browser. It’s not possible to do on mobile just yet. Open up safari > log in > little person icon in the top right > edit appearance. Scroll until you see “let people as questions” turn that on. Turn on anon, and edit the box to whatever you want. Keep it short
Turn off “share posts you like” and the following one below it. It’s a risky game to play when it comes to what you’re looking at and liking.
No submission posts, normally people don’t submit things anyway. Turn OFF “on blog advertising” and then that’s it. It automatically saves so you can just leave to the next screen imma bout to tell you about
IF you go to my blog on desktop, you’ll see that there’s a theme. My font is different, I have a different set up than most blogs, etc.
If you wanna mess around with that, scroll to the top of page (you should still be on the same page from the anon instructions) and tap “edit theme”
It might take a second to load, but you’ll get there.
THIS SCREEN IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Besides the fact that it lets you edit your theme, this is how you put in a Masterlist, and all other links you might want in your bio.
You said you haven’t written anything yet, so there isn’t a need for a Masterlist just yet. But when you DO start posting, please come back to me and I’ll let you know how to put one in your bio, okay? Nice and shiny for your future followers.
If you wanna change your theme go to browse themes, change it from “all themes” to “free themes”. If you like mine, it’s called “Accesible”. If you just want the font, get out of the theme screen and scroll the screen on the left. Turn ON “open dyslexic
Remember, you can do all of this on desktop too, it doesn’t have to be on safari
Now onto posting, I have some opinions that might offend my mutuals (oopsie)
I can’t tell the difference, but PERSONALLY, I think posting fics on tumblr from my phone is gross. But that’s also because I’m writing 1000+ words normally and it gets difficult to post
If you want to post fics with more than 100 paragraphs, then you have to go to desktop or maybe safari tumblr (I don’t post from safari tumblr so idk if it works) because tumblr says NO paragraphs after 100 on mobile. There is no restriction on computer
I write in Google Docs, because it’s neater and I’ve discovered some hate for Word after deleting some of the shit I wrote over and over. Plus it’s an app, and you can open it up on computer. Easy to use.
If you use Notes on your phone, or type directly onto a tumblr post, then that’s fine but you don’t know your word count and it’s a little difficult to navigate.
When it comes to formatting, I used to have it be really long. But I’ve narrowed it down to 3, sometimes 4 things.
Summary: this is where I put the request so the anon/person knows that it’s their request. (I copy n paste the entire request in the summary part, I don’t answer asks (requests) anymore because it’s easier to answer them after I posted).
Warnings: my permanent is swearing, and then I add on (what type) violence, murder, suic*de, gore, etc DEPENDING ON THE REQUEST
Word count: and I do this because I write long imagines sometimes and some people don’t want to sit through 5k words of boring shit
And the optional—Note: I put this if I thank someone for their patience on the request, if I say happy holidays or some shit like that. I don’t have notes on every post anymore because they just turn out being the same every time
Apart from that, give it a title (make it unique but not too long!) who it’s for and then copy and paste the fic in
I’m using my own posts as an example right here, okay. But I have the summary and all of that bolder because it’s easier to see, and I want it to be different from the actual post. Most fanfic writers do this.
I also put 2 —‘s between the authors note at the top and the fic to also make a difference there
Don’t have the entire fic italicized, it takes away the special part of italicizing a word
Finally, it’s tagging.
I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT tag things that have nothing to do with the post. It’s my biggest pet peeve and it’s because I can’t comprehend why people tag (for example) Katrina Stuart when it’s a fic OR A RANDOM POST about someone else
Instead, let’s keep it simple.
🌸 STOP 🌸
I forgot to mention this. But choose your username wisely. You can change it later on, but it’s a goddamn pain in the ass when you have 50+ fanfics you wrote and your Masterlist is nice and clean only to realize that you have to RELINK every post individually
Listen, I changed my username on my old blog, and it took me 8 hours ROUGHLY to relink and fix every individual Masterlist. I had to create new masterlists, with so many tabs open to fix it
Instead, change it before you start fics
If you wanna be a colby brock blog, I have a canon url (which means that it’s so fucking GOOD and I’m angry that i realized it was open only a month ago rather than when I created this account) and it’s colbysbrocks (it’s a plural canon url). And I have colbysecrets too. If you don’t like either of those, I have a couple of other ideas that I wrote down if you want them
🌸 okay continue 🌸
This is how you should tag:
(I’ll give an example after this)
Your username first, the person it’s about, the fandom (if it’s not Colby brock, then something like marvel, etc). Then the persons name, imagine, fanfic, x reader, and oneshot. Then if it was requested
EXAMPLE ONE:
Azurebrock, Colby brock, Colby brock imagine, Colby brock fanfic, Colby brock x reader, Colby brock oneshot, requested
Simple, right? You can even use this method for Wattpad too.
EXAMPLE TWO:
(This is Star Wars, im using my own username again)
Kylorenlovesyou, Kylo ren, Ben solo, kylo ren imagine, kylo ren fanfic, kylo ren x reader, kylo ren oneshot, Ben solo imagine, Ben solo fanfic, Ben solo x reader, Ben solo oneshot, Star Wars
Notice that I tagged both of his names. I do this because it draws more people in, and more people will be attracted to it (however, in the Star Wars fandom there’s a difference between Ben Solo and Kylo-Ren, so you would have to specify in the title Ex. Resistance (Ben Solo) or Struggle (Kylo-Ren). It would depend on which persona you’re using
This works for a couple of fandoms, like twilight and shit like that
EXAMPLE THREE:
(Final one, I just wanted to cover this base just in case)
If it’s a request for more than one person. Let’s say Colby Brock and Sam Golbach (like a Polyamorous relationship, if it’s just about a bunch of people, tag the people in it and don’t put the imagine, fanfic, x reader, oneshot after any of them, it doesn’t apply)
If it’s a poly relationship (or maybe more) then do everything you normally do for one person, and then just add on the second;
Azurebrock, Colby brock, Sam Golbach, Colby brock imagine, Sam Golbach imagine, etc
If you’re on desktop, I would suggest putting in a Read More (this goes BEFORE your fic but after the authors note, below the 2 —‘s). The way you do that is press enter, and hover over the new break in the fic.
Off to the right you’ll see a . . . Click that and then you have the read more. I would only suggest using this if there’s more than 500 words, so that if the fic is super long, it doesn’t take up the entire dash for the follower (it takes forever to scroll and it’s annoying
If you’re on mobile, it isn’t possible. Just post and you can go back and edit later if you have a computer

youtuber!felix
only 2 more left after this
im sad
also,,, warning,, a bit of swearing in this oneeee
Chan | Woojin | Minho | Changbin | Hyunjin | Jisung | FELIX | Seungmin | Jeongin
without further ado
lee yongbok felix!!!!!!!!!! idk a yongbok
ok so felix totally watches buzzfeed unsolved
im sorry i was watching that b4 writing this
and he unironically quotes the guys on there
refers to the rest of the sk guys as demons bc he’s always saying “hey demons, it’s me… ya boi” #GottaLoveShane’sSkepticAss
does a lot of research into the haunted/ paranormal stuff and has dragged hyunjin on his hunt for haunted places
kinda hard to find some places bc they’re barricaded and he doesn’t wanna break the law by breaking in :’))
plus his parents would probably not let him stay overnight at a haunted place
but he tries his best to go during the day to, like, a haunted house or something
along with being a supernatural fanatic
he makes videos on conspiracy theories
all. the. time.
deffo the type to cover his laptop/ desktop camera bc the government are watching lmfao i do this too
also deffo believes in shit like the illuminati and men in black i doooo
in some of his videos you can see his room
he’s sooo got pictures, newspaper articles and shiz like that on his wall
and the typical red string tying different pictures and articles together
he’s,,,, really,,,,,, into this kinda stuff
alongside that
he’s obviously into memes
so in his videos he’ll have trashy Comic Sans comments
y’know how WillNE used to have in his videos? like that.
is also really into those theories relating the disney princesses together bc damn those are actually cool
[cyanide voice] DID YOU KNOW… elsa & anna’s parents are also tarzan’s parents????? [just a theory bUT IT MAKES SENSE OKAY]
y’know those parkour videos i keep mentioning
bringing it back real quick
one time felix was skateboarding by some lil’ lake
and he tried doing a trick but he almost fell in
and he let out the most girly scream ever and changbin was dYING
thankfully he didn’t fall in,,,,
but then he tried it again and he fell half in and changbin lost it. he. could. not. stop. laughing.
felix was just like “bro <\3″
even jisung was laughing,,, he almost dropped the camera,,, but luckily he didn’t and he managed to get felix’s scream recorded
felix actually wasn’t too mad about that
he made a meme out of it?? like why???
y’know that one meme that uses Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars as background music [the song fyi - if you dont know what im talking about; use earplugs & low volume!!! there is swearing after the 1st so watch out]
and he managed to cut a picture (of himself) from jisung’s video as he was falling
and he moves it so he’s falling through loads of different things and ends up falling through space that escalated quickly
that was a crappy explanation but watch that video and you should understand
so yeah
he’s a bit crazy :)
it’s ok tho bc he’s funny
he also does vlogs
you can imagine how active and crazy he is in those
& he’s literally always screaming in those
someone get him to chill pls
he and chan will speak english and use australian slang in the vlogs
and 1) comments overflow with how cool they sound
but 2) the other guys just go ughhhhh and start speaking korean really fast so they cant understand - or, well, felix mainly, can’t understand
or c) they’ll chat shit about chan and felix slowly so they understand and are like hey ://
it’s all banter dw
he watched jisung’s make-up w/ my minho thing right
and tried doing that too
but with changbin
obviously he didn’t tell changbin what he was gonna do
but when changbin got there
and felix got him to sit at the table rather than where his game console was he was suspicious
when felix came out of his room with make-up
you bet your butt changbin got outta that chair and ran
felix was just like “wow… i got jisung’s make-up and everything and he up and left :(((”
that didn’t stop him tho lmao
he had already set up a camera to record in that room
so he just got that camera, put it on the table
and recorded himself doing his own make-up
it was going decently until he got the eyeliner
and started doing it around his eyes
and then he found inspiration in Big Daddy’s (from Kick Ass) eye make-up [fyi]
yeah after that he kinda just fcked up his own face
but he was so proud of it
bless
he took a pic of himself and sent it to the sk group chat like “this is what you missed out on, binnie”
changbin: so not much then, yh?
felix: im breaking up w/ u
changbin: finally
as revenge for that bad changlix break-up
he gathered the ‘00 line [SQUAD ROLL OUTTTTTTT]
and they planned to get revenge on changbin
so on a saturday when they knew changbin was gonna be sleeping till like midday
(because he was up all night gaming the idiot)
they came to his house early
and got the make-up kit ready lmfao
seungmin held the camera
whilst hyunjin blended like 5 different shades of lipstick
jisung put concealer, blush and bronzer on him (God knows how some ended up in his hair but whatever)
and felix did the eyeshadow and eyeliner
just to feel a little rebellious
jisung let seungmin do the highlight
omg bad boy!seugming im deadddd
but then jisung accidentally sneezed and everyone was like SHIT and froze
they waited like 5 seconds until they heard changbin mumble “what the fuck…”
and then his eyes opened
and he was like “what the hell are you guys doing here?”
and hyunjin just smilled, discreetly hiding the lipstick he was currently holding behind his back
“ah,, we just came over to wake you up!!”
changbin was having none of that shit and he was like
changbin: “why is seungmin holding a camera then?? and jisung’s literally got something in his hand”
changbin: “jisung,,,,, is that… make-up?? you fcking did not”
felix: “RUN!!!!!!!!”
seungmin managed to get a clear shot of changbin’s pissed off face before they goT THE HELL OUTTA THEREEEEEEE
changbin flew straight up and chased them 
but unfortunately they got outta the house just in time
and he wasn’t about to dash out of his house in his pj’s
imagine if seungmin had forgotten to actually start the video holy shittt lmfao
he remembered dw
anyways they got back to felix’s house and he immediately started editing the video
he managed to get a picture of changbin’s final pissed off face before they ran
he sent that to the group chat
and all the guys made that their youtube profile pictures it was HILARIOUS
whilst i’m on the topic of ‘00 line
they have killer gaming matches
and felix lives to troll people
he doesn’t limit himself to just annoying the other ‘00 guys
nah that’s too basic
he’ll troll anyone on his team
he’s blocked so many people from getting through doors
or blocked them in one corner
and he can sometimes hear them swearing and shouting to move the fck away dude!!!
and he deadass just laughs over the mic
he’s gotten a lot of people killed that way 
(including himself lmao)
he still somehow managed to not be last on the scoreboard??
he plays really well actually
but he never misses an opportunity to troll
he gets a lot of hate messages from people online like “dude wtf why’d you do that”
and he’s just like “y not bro <3″
so yeah
although he loves trolling and annoying as many people as he can
he loves the sk guys
and he’d do anything for them
he can get real cheesy at times
making edits of them all dramatically falling in love with him
like he cut a clip of woojin saying “i love merigues!” and “felix keeps messaging me, should i just block him” from his cooking videos
and merged them to get “i love felix!”
and then he played that behind a clip of woojin just talking into the camera so it looked realistic enough
and he sent that to the group chat like “changbin wHO? i only know a kim woojin <3 love you bby <3″
everyone knows he edited that but they still mock woojin anyway
and changbin literally just said “good luck with him woojin, he’s insane”
back to the sentimental ending:
he loves the guys & they love his annoying ass too
knows that even tho he annoys them to the extreme a lot
he can trust them and they’ll help him with whatever
they’re like his home away from home and he loves it so much
his desktop picture is a rlly cute pic of them all together, completely unedited and unfelixified
he loves it
whoa that was long. 2?? updates in a day?? damn im on a roll :)) 
i got a coupla requests for boyfriend texts w/ some stray kids members
like damn after this,,, a,,, bf stray kids thing??? idkkkkkk ?????????? so many series, so little timeeee
