Sorry if this seems repetitive but I haven't been active on social media in yearsss
Is it true that there's a lot of lawlu hate on tiktok and Twitter? I'm so confused because there used to be so much love for the ship back in 2017/2018 from my perspective (Amino era).
The short answer: yes and no. Let me start by saying I'm not the best person to answer this since I purely consume on twitter. I made my personal twitter in 2007 like it's everyone I've ever known irl and has nothing to do with shipping or hobbies and I follow approx 0 accounts related to anime, manga, or lawlu. I just looked up lawlu a few times and browsed and suddenly it's my whole fucking timeline and there’s no going back and now I have a lawlu twitter (This makes me very happy).
So if anyone else has an opinion on this that is more in the community, please feel free to comment away. Otherwise, below are my observations.
First off, there IS a ton of love for the ship. Most of what I see is beautiful art (they got the nsfw ayo), memes, fanfics, and headcanons just like tumblr. There are tons of comments of people swooning over these posts, Lawlu IS one of the most popular OP ships after all.
There's just a vocal minority that are very against the concept of shipping and in that subset there are those who are very against Lawlu. There people out there that will literally list accounts to block that ship lawlu or write lawlu DNI in their bios. The same can be said for other ships, it's not just this one it’s any they deem a ‘pro ship’ (problematic ship) and Lawlu is generally considered one of these. Below as is an example:
Tumblr media
The biggest issues I’ve seen with Lawlu are the following 1. luffy is aroace and cant be shipped period 2. law groomed luffy and the age gap is gross. IMO I think most of these people are just infantilizing Luffy as some goofy autistic kid that doesn't know what love and sex are when in reality he's very self-aware and happy does not equal stupid. Also he's 19 he’s not underage. He met Law twice when he was 17, one of which was saving his life as a doctor and Luffy was unconscious most of this time. Let's not forget Luffy's a war criminal kicking the asses of people 4x his age in a pirate world, age doesn't really work the same as irl.
BUTTT Not that any of this matters because you can ship whoever the fuck you what because guess what? It's ~fiction~. I could rant about how people can ship whatever the hell they want all day but I'll save my breath for now. (my opinion of course)
Also there are just mentally ill people who enjoy telling others to kys if you like something they like do. Lawlu shippers are just their chosen target demographic. Creators get foul messages in their inboxes, rude comments, just general hater behavior. Twitter is just a firey cesspool and all fandoms have 'fans' who do nothing but hate. We live in an age of negativity where being a hater is the cool thing to do.
HOWEVER, I see more people posting about why those people are wrong and stupid than the actual negative tweets but maybe that's because I actually support the ship and the algorithm sees that. Not sure how twitter works, nor do I want to know about that dumpster fire there's a reason I came over to tumblr.
As for tiktok, I don't really consume a lot of tiktok so I can't speak on it besides seeing cosplayers and cute animations/art. I'll leave that to the tiktok people to look into.
For argument's sake, I went through the lawlu tag and picked some lovely tweets to share with you so you can see the toxicity for yourself. Sadly only 10 images per post but I think you get the point. Thanks for the ask hope this was informative. :)

Hi! First off, I want to say how awesome and well-organized this page is. I know how much work it must be to put it together. I do think that the word retired has an air of finality to it, like it's implied that the authors who appear on the retired authors list are done writing THG fics. But they might just have stuff going on in their lives or writers block and that's why they haven't updated in awhile. I feel like there might be some authors who won't enjoy finding themselves on that list. Anyway, thanks for hearing me out. I've enjoyed seeing all your posts.
Hello!
Thank you so much for your perspective! I can understand where this is coming from and did debate on what term to use for categorizing the authors, which is why I do put that note on the top of each masterlist noting the differences in categorization. I, in no way, meant to imply that these authors are never coming back into the writing game! I've seen writers take years off and come back into the writing game stronger than ever. I'm truly sorry if it came off that way.
I looked into a few other fandom blogs similar to this and noticed "retired" being a main word used for authors who haven't updated fics in a while but are active in the fandom or writing but from other fandoms. I've also seen the word "Hiatus" used and debated on that for a while. I'm always open to suggestions and comments like these, especially from authors as you are the individuals most directly affected by my word choices. I never intended to make authors feel upset and tried my best to use more inclusive terms. I chose not to do "inactive authors" series for this exact reason because I did not want someone to stumble upon the list and be hurt by it in some way.
Please continue to share your thoughts on how I can make this blog more inclusive of everyone in the fandom and how I can use my language in a better way for this specific series which is "a blog/writer who has updated within the past year but has not posted a fanfic in the fandom in the past year". Or let me know if the series should be terminated if the idea isn't a good one. I truly thought that by highlighting these authors it may help more people find them and perhaps inspire them to write again or at the very least have a nice few comments to discover one day. BUT if this series seems in poor taste please let me know!
As followers of the blog, or THG writers, I'd like your input on what that series should be called. I'll make the appropriate changes/edits to upcoming releases and past releases in accordance with the results of the poll.
I put the a week timer on the poll and will hold the remaining posts in that series until this poll closes and we decide on a new term as a community.
Again, I am so sorry if I offended or hurt anyone in the community. I strive to create an inclusive and friendly safe for everyone!

So you just steal artwork and don't care? Got it. Either that or my ask asking about sources from your posts on April 8th disappeared. Or I guess you could be off tumblr and not have been here for two weeks.
Hi Anon,
I'm assuming this is you:
Tumblr media
If it is, yes, I did see your last ask - but life has been a bit shit lately and frankly, I didn't have the emotional bandwidth to deal with an accusatory email that gave me absolutely no details about what you were upset about so I could investigate. So today, despite it being an incredibly long and shit one that isn't over I'm going to reply.
*Takes a deep breath* From this point forward I'm going to assume that, like me, you are just a real-live human with feelings that get hurt and not someone who just likes to yell at people on the internet. So let me apologise that I have used your artwork without attribution, it was in no way my intention. Please take this apology as someone who was just trying to amuse themselves and perhaps help some other people out by reminding them to take their meds too. I absolutely suck at art-type things so in my mind, no one would think I did them or was claiming the actual 'art' part of them as mine. I realise now this is the internet, you guys don't know me, and so I should have been clearer that nearly all of these are edits. (There are a few waaaaay back I actually drew myself). Looking at the 7th, 8th & 9th of April (allowing for time zones and assuming that's when you saw your artwork). All of them except one have a link at the bottom of the image that links back to where I sourced the original image - I don't know if this is visible on mobile so I'll show it below (the bit circled in red)
Tumblr media
So I'm assuming this one is yours:
Tumblr media
It seems that one doesn't have the link. I don't know why. I haven't made any new reminders for this blog in ages (again - life) - it seems like most of the ones from early April this year were originally posted back in 2021. I got briefly excited about this blog again a few months ago and loaded up a bunch of old ones so this blog was still functional for the people that find it helpful. Going back I have noticed that others seem to not have credit either. It is possible I made a mistake and forgot to add them. It's also possible that Tumblr has a had a glitch/error/weirdness which means it's disappeared. I also used a bunch of images from the editing app I was using to add the reminder message and I wish I could remember what the site was called because I cannot for the life of me remember. Honestly, who knows. I have deleted the post(s) with that image - if it's not the right one please let me know.
I have always gone out of my way to ensure that anything I use is either free use, or non-commercial under Creative Commons. As an aside, I'm an academic and a person who has artist friends and my partner runs a business where our customers are largely designers and artists, so I do actually do my best to give credit. Am I perfect - no I'm not. Part of the reason I stopped making new posts was because of difficulty giving credit even on images that were non-attribution and finding images where I knew what the attribution requirements were (along with trying to remember everything everyone asked me to tag, and doing the image descriptions etc.) If anyone else finds something of theirs in one of my posts and there isn't credit attached please either dm me or send an ask and let me know which post and how you would like to be credited and I'll add it in. If you want it removed, I'm happy to do that too.
Sorry for the long post, hope it helps to clear things up. Finally, let me take this opportunity to say
"Don't forget your meds today my friends"

hey first of all i LOVE you’re work
i wanted to ask which fics you’re currently working on ?
𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨, 𝐝𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐲 - tldr at the bottom of the post xx
first of all - thank you🥰 I honestly never knew I would get this far, but posting my work here was the greatest decision I could've made. It feels amazing to post my work and have people enjoy it just like me :)
second - I have six requests in the works right now. I work in order of request and (because I'm traveling a lot these next few months) I'm mostly going to be doing requests and any other one shots that I come up with/want to indulge myself in. I really want to do fics with Brienne (i love her so much) and even some of the lovely Morningstar, so I'll either follow the requests or post something of my own.
This is also going to allow me to build up my next series because it's actually a really cool idea (to me) but I have absolutely no idea how many chapters its going to be.
★ In terms of requests, I have (in order from top to bottom):
Enemies to lovers - hate sex, Larissa x Reader
Lyric Fic to Eat Your Young by Hozier - going the sexual route with this one instead of the real meaning (about capitalism lol), Larissa x Reader
Sex Tape - g!p Larissa x Reader, plot twist, good ending
Lyric Fic to Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray - romantic, full of fluff, Larissa x Reader
Hecate Hardbroom x Reader - I'm currently looking into this character, but she seems really cool. Anon, if you have any specific requests for this, shoot me another message in my inbox please. I wanna know if you want fluff or smut or if you want anything specific to play out <3
Virgin Reader x Larissa Weems - first time, everyone expected otherwise from reader, soft
What's above is what's in the request. When I get there, titles will be posted to my masterlist of what is in the works in sections, but the titles are subject to change. The top request is the one I'm currently working on, so the title is actually already on my masterlist.
★ In terms of series (in the works, not coming out for A WHILE):
Larissa Weems x Professor Reader (title on my masterlist)
Brienne of Tarth x Reader
these are both on the longer side, are still in the works, and are listed VERY vaguely because the ideas I have behind them are ones I haven't seen before (I am and will continue to gatekeep, sorry xoxo)
★ When it comes to my own ideas:
I have around 6-7 one shots, two of which have the potential to become series. HOWEVER, I do prioritize my requests, so I won't mention my ideas for them because I do not know when they will come out. Most are Larissa x Reader, there's one that's Lucifer x Reader, and there's another where I don't know if i should do Brienne, Larissa, or Lucifer (it will probably be Brienne, though).
★ Other Notes:
sections of other characters will be created on my masterlist when a fic with them in it gets posted, but I seem to be a main Larissa Weems blog. If they're one-offs, they'll be posted in an "others" sections.
please remember I'm in college and also work, so things might take longer than some of you may like (I'm getting there, I swear)
look at my masterlist before turning in requests - there are some things I won't write, so if it's requested then I'll skip over that part of the request or the whole request entirely
TLDR: 6 requests, 2 series, 6-7 of my own ideas in the words. I prioritize requests sent to my inbox, and I work in order. Titles of things will be posted on my masterlist in sections and are subject to change. Series are on pause for me due to travel, so don't expect them for quite some time.
Thank you for the ask, lovely anon. This is the first one I've gotten that was just a question, and it was a nice excuse to update everyone else as well. Any questions like these will be under the same tag on my profile (second tag down below).

✨️ Twenty Questions for Fic Writers ✨️
Thank you @allwaswell16 and @haztobegood for tagging me! I love reading everyone's answers to these <3
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
60, including one cowrite
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
831,513
3. What fandoms do you write for?
One Direction. I use the BBC Radio 1 RPF tag for pairings with Nick Grimshaw, and I used the Shawn Mendes (Musician) one a few times, too.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
you came into my life, caught up in your love affair, baby, you're the end of june, an honest mistake and tell me what you need
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes! I love replying to comments, even when I feel awkward about it. I really like getting replies from authors, I find it discouraging not to, so that's partly why. But a nice comment really makes me day, and I want to let people know I appreciate that. But I might miss one occasionally, and sometimes I don't reply if I think the commenter is being rude.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
It's probably my first fic, This Town. The whole fic is Niall processing Zayn leaving the band – but more importantly leaving him, and they don't get back together in the end. It's not my fault, Niall wrote a sad song! But also I was in the thick of grieving, so. That's what happened.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I almost, almost always write happy endings, so I could really pick this one at random lol, but I'll go with enough to make a girl blush. I really love how far Louis has come at the end of that fic and how happy she and Niall are together and how good they are together. Plus, I wrote a happy little timestamp for Harry and Zayn (count me in).
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've gotten comments that don't sit well with me, but not really. I did post a fic set at the beginning of COVID before I knew how bad it would get, and someone messaged me to say they were sorry about the hate it was getting... but I didn't see any?
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
yes! I write smut that I find hot, girl direction and boy direction. When I started writing, I felt like I wrote absolutely terrible smut and I worked really hard to figure it out. Practice makes progress, baby.
10. Do you write crossovers? What the craziest one you've written?
I've written a couple of reality show AUs with the actual people from the shows in the fic – you came into my life and you wanna be on top? Nothing too crazy!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I think someone stole a shiall one-shot and posted it on Wattpad. Weirdly, I feel like I haven't made it because that doesn't happen to me more often.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
yes! Most recently, someone asked if they could translate pink like the paradise found into Russian and they were so lovely.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I took part in a round robin for Nic's (@louandhazaf) birthday a few years ago! (Louis referring to merlot as the basic bitch of wines was me!) Co-writing has come up as an idea a couple of times, but the timing or idea etc has never been right.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
I kind of have to fall deep for a pairing to write them, so I love a lot of pairings! Aside from larry, I think gryles might be my favorite. Something about the pining best friends who can't be together because of... REASONS just gets me where I live.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I had an idea for a lilo exes to lovers AU based on bennifer and I wrote a snippet that I really liked for it, but I felt like I was white washing Jennifer Lopez, if that's the right word? Like you can't separate her from the fact that she's Puerto Rican, so casting Louis in that role didn't feel right. I could try to figure out another way to approach it, but I don't really think I'll feel inspired enough.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I'm really good at continuity, and writing scenes with lots of people and involving all of them.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I always feel like I start sentences with "Niall did this" and "Harry did that" (sorry, writing narry at the moment). So, narration that's not action? Does that make sense?
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I think it can be done effectively. I liked how the French worked in Darling, so it goes. It made sense to include because Harry moved to a country where he didn't speak the language. I tried to make the meaning of the French clear when Harry understood it, but I didn't include translations in the notes because Harry didn't understand a lot, and I wanted the reader in his shoes. I worked really hard on the French because I don't speak it, but I asked @somethingwittyorother to look it over and their feedback was incredibly helpful.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
One Direction!
20. Favorite fic you've written?
It's usually the last fic that I posted, so right now it's Suddenly Last Summer. I had the best time writing it and it was such a fulfilling creative outlet, and I just love it.
I'll tag: @crinkle-eyed-boo @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @neondiamond @kingsofeverything @louandhazaf @absoloutenonsense @homosociallyyours @nouies @onlythebravest

why are you not reading my stories? You read everyone else's and it makes me feel like shit
Let's take a breath. First I'm not mad about this, I get it. Please don't jump on Anon.
To Anon: obviously so I don't know who you are. Let's just address the fact this is tumblr and we don't see everything everyone posts, and sometimes tags fail. That's the first thing. My PMs are open so that anyone can message me, so that's probably a better and more constructive way to nicely ask.
However I'll address this, since we're here.
I'd say that I read a lot of fics. I'd say I reblog and comment on a lot of fics. I know that the authors I read most are FAR from the only ones. This fandom is BIG, and there are loads I've personally never come across. I'm always open to new writers, it's the absolute best.
However again...ya girl only has so much internal capacity however much I wish that wasn't the case. Currently I manage to fit in oneshots and series additions that I'm up to date on as and when, 85% of them I'd say are ones which I am tagged by the author because I've asked. The other 15% I find by myself, or they're recommended.
I don't skim writing. I like to dig in and absorb myself whether it's 1k or 10k. I like to feel like I'm contributing something to the authors experience of posting here. I know how much it means to us. I don't like doing empty reblogs when I haven't read something beforehand. If you just want someone to share it and not read it that's not me.
While I do understand I'm pretty prolific reading wise, sometimes I'm not as a quick or as verbose or as responsive. If you catch me in one of those periods (like the last day) then apols but that's just how it is.
Currently I'm catching up on @maple-seed Thrown (which by the way is fucking top tier ) and @nildespirandum Tale of the Golden Horn (also fucking amazing) as well as a number of ongoing series. Next on my historical catch up list is The Witchling and the God by @space-mermaid-writing which I'm very much looking forward to.
So while I'm sorry I make you feel like shit for not engaging with your work, I'd ask:
1) Do I know about it? It's not like me to ignore people. 2) Please don't take it to heart. I do try, but quite often I'm reading like 30k+ words a day. That's a lot. Lmao. 3) I'm just one person. One blogger. I'm not anything special here. I have a demanding job and a house to look after and a busy life (believe it or not, I know... Its hard😂) so a lil patience is appreciated. I do my best. 👉👈
Sorry this is a bit wanky, there's been an uptick in this sort of thing and it makes me feel terrible but also I'm not an endless well of capacity, I can only but try.
Tldr: Message me instead of this and save yourself the emotional rant. I'm actually a nice person, Id never intentionally make anyone feel like shit, ever.

The future.
Hey y'all, mod Hayden here. I wanted to post an update on where things are now, and what will be happening moving forward. (Don't worry, we aren't giving up on the AU just yet!)
Going to put the rest of this under a "Read more" so this doesn't take up half of your dashes.
So, as I said above, we aren't giving up on the AU yet! The past 3ish years have been... Hectic to say the least. For both mod Eden and I. I won't go into details, but its definitely been one hell of a ride. As of right now, we still aren't in a spot where we can keep working on the comic just yet.
HOWEVER
We are getting closer! Though, there is no exact date on things yet, so please do not hound any of the mods about it. There are still things going on. Anyway, we want to thank you all so much for sticking around. Our ask box has been quite full for a while, and I've decided to address that. There have been plenty of questions revolving around things that may or may not happen later in the story, so if we haven't answered your ask, don't worry! Its most likely spoilers :)
As for all of the kind messages we've been getting, we've put something together to address all of those.....
Tumblr media
(As always with tumblr, click for better quality!)
We want to thank everyone who has ever sent these kind messages (and apologize if yours isn't on here. Like I said, the ask box is incredibly full, but I did my best to track all of them down.)
There are some however that stuck out to me that I'd like to address individually, however I am also going to do that in this post as well for ease of access.
For starters....
Tumblr media
Thank you so much! However, all of the art posted thus far has belonged to mode Eden. Mod Hayden hasn't done any of that.
(Yet....)
Tumblr media
Ikr?! When mod Eden first showed me the design concept, I was immediately in love!
Tumblr media
....yeah. (Mod Hayden legitimately laughed when they saw this, so I decided it needed to be included.)
Tumblr media
I still smile every time I see this. @spudinacup (sorry for the tag, but I think you should see this) is one of if not the biggest SU AU creators out there. I can't speak for mod Eden, however you were and still are a huge inspiration to mod Hayden. Kind of what got them to take the jump into helping with this AU. As for your current situation, I sincerely hope things get better for you. Just know there's at least one person who would be there if you ever decide to return :)
(Whoops, not the point of the post. Dialing it back.....)
All in all, we just want to give a massive thank you to all of the fans of this AU, whether you stuck around or not. If you didn't stick around however, but you end up seeing this post anyway....
Hi. Welcome back :)
(mod Eden whipped up a quick sketch!!)

Intro??
Tumblr media
I'm Evan / Dirk (or Bro / Timaeus, I don't mind either). I mainly just use he/it but they/them is fine too.
(Also, totally fine to ask my age. I just don't like announcing it publicly)
Keepin' this blog mostly sfw (if i make a joke/reblog or something nsfw i'll add a warning), pretty much a chill place for everyone who isn't an asshole or a creep.
You can leave asks or message me but i don't really have much to say-- I'm really awkward with talking to people
Feel free to ask for my Discord but I won't always add people unless we're close or something
------------------------------------------------
I'm an Evan Myers & Dirk Strider fictionkin. I'm not an IRL, please don't refer to me as such. I am a bit delusional though but that is unrelated 🥳 I'm fine with being called Bro or Habit, but I don't support the canon versions of either character.
------------------------------------------------
Some fandoms I'm in (just current interests, some more in tags):
Slenderverse (EverymanHYBRID, Marble Hornets, Creepypasta)
Homestuck (barely, I haven't read it in years)
Ride The Cyclone / Legoland
Scott Pilgrim (comics)
System Of A Down
MLP:FIM
Gorillaz (mainly phases 1 - 3)
Spree (2020)
Non fandom interests:
zombies
knives / swords / blades
puppets
lost / obscure media
old / obscure video games
robots / A.I.
radiation
unsolved mysteries
psychology
DNI:
People who are just here to be creepy
People who are just here to be assholes
Adam Rosner & actor Jeff Koval stans/apologists
People who ship straight up illegal shit (incest, pedo, non-con... idrc that much about other ships but illegal ships make me really uncomfortable. for obvious fucking reasons. Ship what you want, but make sure it doesn't break any laws!)
Noodle shippers (atleast with the main band [Gorillaz])
Racists, terfs, anti-neos, anti-xenos, transmeds, all that shit
Canon HABIT and Bro Strider defenders...😨(People who defend n@zi HABIT and child-hitter Bro)
People who romanticize or defend literal crimes and mental illness
Baby jokes (EMH) are sometimes fine just like. Not out of nowhere-? Warn me before making them or at least make sure I'm not being all emo LOL
Headless / "Dirkapitation" jokes are completely fine, I find them funny most of the time
If you don't like my blog or me, just dni, it's not worth our time to argue, thanks. Sorry if I ever sound like an ass, please tell me if i upset you.
Sourcemates are cool! Even HABITs as long as you aren't being a dick for no reason. Sorta hesitant on Homestuck sourcemates, but you're probably fine as long as you aren't in DNI lmao
Sideblog (more Dirk centered): @timaeus-zombified

Another Rant. More Like A Response.
So I was going to make a video about this because I have a lot to say. But I realized that the stutter I thought I had gotten rid of Freshman years comes out heavily if I'm pissed, which I currently am, so I'll just save use the headache and type this out.
Also tagging @apexious cuz they wanted to see this.
Look. I could totally tag people. I could name names. But I'm not going to. Because at this point everyone has probably either seen this post or knows who this person is. And goddamn do I have a lot to say about them.
Number 1: If you're gonna call me out call me out bestie. Coming after me for a post I made expressing discomfort at a NSFW self ship is fine and all, but then you go ahead and say stuff like "adult people can have adult thoughts about other adults" when my post was referring to a fanfic written by a KID? Get your facts straight before you say anything that's public. Here's the thing, was my post in poor taste? Quite possibly. Was there an adult way to handle it and get the results you wanted? Oh yeah. Did you do the adult thing? Nope! Instead of either A. taking it to a private message and explaining what was wrong or B. making a respectful post that highlighted what was wrong in a mature way, you made a disrespectful, arrogant, self righteous post bashing an entire fanbase despite the fact that only a few people were at large. So now, instead of placing the responsibility of accountable parties, which I would have been included in, and allowing to own up and apologize, you have now not only included yourself into the problem, but also blown the problem wayyyy out of proportion. May I remind you that we are a fairly tiny fandom based on a video game directed at children? I've been playing since 2012, so believe me when I say these games have come a long way. Hell, these characters now in fanfics didn't have names until The Traveler season happened. Remember the days of referring to characters as "the coach from One Kiss" or "Jessy's guy in Swish Swish" or "P1 in Lean On"? Yeah, that was surprisingly not that long ago. So it is responsible to believe that the concept of NSFW or self shipping in a fandom is relatively new to us. Shit, we are not going to act like a normal fandom! This fandom is very different then others, so if we make a mistake like bagging on things that are all normal in other fandoms, then be fucking patient! Call it out in a respectable way, and let us fix it! We always do!
Next, the other problems you discussed? Are they currently in the room with us? I have not seen these problems like, at all. There is no mass shitting on people who have comfort characters. People who fetishsize and disrespect characters? Hell yeah (we took care of people like youngjackissohot and others), but not genuine comfort/kinny characters. The vast majority of us have a comfort character and that's why we are in this fucking community in the first place! Maybe i'm just blind as a bat, but I have not seen anyone tear apart anyone watching maps on Youtube. Bitch, most of us don't have a Switch so those maps on Youtube are our saving grace to stay in this community. Is this happening on another site, like Reddit or Twitter? Cuz if so maybe you should have gone and bitched to them instead of complain on here.
And you don't think we should benefit from your presence in this community? Ok Jesus, sorry you're leaving! Seriously though, while I appreciate everyone in this community and think you make an impact no matter how big it is, this is a classic case of "someone got a little too big for their britches". Sure, we hate to see you go. But like you said, you haven't been active since Lover Coaster (which you couldn't even remember the name of btw-how in the absolute fuck are you going to get involved with Fandom matters if you can't even name the last season you remember?) and we all survived without you. So don't pretend all of a sudden you're some hotshot celebrity whose mere absence in this community will affect anything. I have a few good fics that I am updating frequently that I know people will enjoy, and I've active for a good while, but I know if I fell of the face of the earth right now my absence in the fandom won't cause any major issues. Get a reality check.
Lastly, you're dealing with a fandom here. A group of humans who are all flawed and all make mistakes and all have their moments. If you're not happy with the ugly sides of that, then I'm sorry but you don't deserve to benefit from the many good sides. We are by far the least problematic fandom I have so far heard of. For the most part, we are kind to each other and care for each other and we love each other. If we make mistakes we make sure to fix them and then we carry on. If you have a problem with us not always getting along and us sometimes having our moments then don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I'm sorry you have to see this side of me, but come after this family and call us nothing more than a group of fucking assholes and see what happens next bitch. Cuz next time I won't hesitate to nane names.

Hungry Eyes pt. 2
in which your friendly neighborhood busker gets a little friendlier
a/n: hi!! thank you to everyone who read the first part of Hungry Eyes! If you haven't, you can find part one here! I hope you enjoy, and as always reblogs and feedback are always appreciated!<3
Tumblr media
Rated 18+: my blog is 18+ besties, fem!reader, fluff, longing, 90s!Eddie, Busker!Eddie, Mechanic!Eddie mentioned in passing<3
Word Count: 2.4k
It had been about two weeks since you'd seen Eddie. Classes were picking up and most of your time was spent in the library across campus, so visiting him at his normal busking spots wasn't possible. Meanwhile (unbeknownst to you) Eddie hadn't been busking as often. His shifts at the mechanic shop where he worked had been changed from morning to evening so he wasn't able to perform as often (he was working on changing that, he gets antsy when he isn't able to sing or perform).
That's not to say that you didn't try to reach out to one another. Eddie had called the following day, but you weren't home so he left a message on your answering machine.
"Hey, uh, it's Eddie from the bar. I thought I'd give you a call to see if you'd like to get coffee or something when you're free. Only if you want to of course!" He cleared his throat nervously. "Anyway, you can call me back at..."
After that voicemail, you called back but didn't get an answer. It started a long game of phone tag between the two of you until one day you finally picked up.
"Hello?"
"Oh hey, hi! I finally got a hold of you!" Eddie laughed excitedly.
"Hey! It's so nice to finally talk to you! Sorry I haven't seen you around campus lately, midterms are kicking my ass".
"Nah, don't sweat it. Work has also been kicking my ass so I haven't been busking as often".
"Oh no! What do you do for work?"
The conversation went on for almost an hour, just getting to know each other, both of you fidgeting and twirling your hair on each end. You were too excited for your own good.
"Hey, so about that coffee I offered..."
"Yes! I was just about to ask about that. Are you still wanting to go?"
"Yes!" He cleared his throat. "I mean, um, sure if you're interested".
You laughed in reply. "I'm very interested, when were you thinking?"
"Are you free tomorrow around noon? There's a cafe across from campus so it'll be easier for you to get to".
"I am. It's a date!"
Eddie froze for a second. "It's a date," He smiled into the phone.
...
You were incredibly nervous. Eddie was a sweetheart, and if his voicemails were anything to go off of, he was just as anxious about meeting you as you were. You weren't sure why you had immediately indicated that your meeting was a date, but you were relieved when he responded positively.
You tried to dress in something simple, a pair of ripped jeans and a band t-shirt you hoped made you seem cool. Eddie was so fucking cool, you wanted to present yourself on the same level. What if he wasn't into nerds? You were reigning yourself in until you got a better feel for him.
You opened the door to the coffee shop and were met by the fragrant smells of fresh ground coffee beans. The smell swirled around you as you scanned the patrons to find Eddie. When you met eyes with him you offered a small wave before heading over to him.
"Hey Eddie! How are you doing?"
"I'm doing better now that you're here sweetheart," He said smoothly (or so he hoped). "I was waiting for you to order, so whenever you're ready".
You nodded and waited for him to get up. He left his leather jacket on the table to save your spot, and led you to the counter.
You gave the barista your order and went to grab your wallet before Eddie stopped you.
"Eddie, you don't have to".
"Please, I insist. I invited you out so I pay". He pulled out a roll of cash and handed the cashier a few bills after he ordered.
The two of you made your way over to the counter, exchanging pleasantries and asking how your days went. You took your drinks back to the table and sat down laughing at something Eddie had said.
"And then, I swear to God, Gareth tripped and fell onto his drum set! Our first show after high school was such a mess". You both laughed loudly at Eddie's animated storytelling. "What about you? Tell me about your studies, how are classes going?"
Time was flying fast as he listened closely to your ramblings, soon you would have to part ways to go to class and work. If you could get away with it you might have considered skipping class to stay longer. You watched as Eddie cleared his throat and raked his hand messily through his bangs (both nervous habits that you had noticed). He then chugged the rest of his latte as if it were liquid courage before speaking.
"So doll," He cringed inwardly. "I unfortunately have to get going, but this was fun. We should get together again sometime soon".
You felt your face get warm at the pet name. "I'd love that Eddie. I'll call you with plans, yeah?"
"Perfect, I'll see you soon, doll".
Before he could leave, you quickly went in for a small hug before waving goodbye -leaving Eddie behind astonished at your forwardness (if he was being honest with himself, he was trying to work up the courage to do the same thing).
When his phone rang later that night, he answered almost too enthusiastically for a man who had just worked a closing shift.
He tried to hide his disappointment when he found out it was just Jeff letting him know that he'd have to cancel band practice that week as he and Gareth were swamped with midterms. Eddie let him no that it was no problem, that he'd see them next week, and to let him know if they needed anything.
As soon as Eddie hung up with Jeff the phone rang again. This time, he answered with a little less excitement expecting it to be Gareth.
"Hello?" He said a bit too gruffly into the receiver.
"Hey Eds! Rough day at work?" Your voice rang through his ears like the softest bell.
"Hey doll! Sorry about that, I thought it was someone else".
"Oh, I can call back if you were expecting a call?"
"No! Um, no, you're fine. How was class?"
"It was fine. This professor is making our lives so much harder than he needs too, but other than that it was fine".
"Do I need to speak with him?" Eddie tried his best to sound intimidating over the phone.
You laughed at the deeper voice he put on. "Maybe, we'll see how he grades my paper".
Eddie huffed out a laugh, resisting the urge to let out an "anything for you, pretty girl". He was already so bewitched by you. Your softness, your passion for your studies, everything.
"So Eddie, are you free this Friday evening? Maybe we could have a movie night or something?"
"I'd love that doll. I'll bring the popcorn, yeah?"
It was arranged that he'd come over to your apartment, you'd had a back to back horror movie marathon planned. Eddie was hoping that the stereotypical high school thing would happen; you'd get scared, want to cuddle up close, and moves would be made. In fact, he was counting on it. He knew he wouldn't have been able to make any moves on his own. You made him nervous, dizzy with a tummy full of fluttering butterflies. Your laughs were like a melody to him, ringing throughout a room. You were an open window letting streams of sunshine into his life, light he didn't realize he so desperately needed. When he left the coffee shop his heart ached with some unknown loneliness in your absence. He had never met someone that had made him feel like that so quickly.
Friday night finally came around, and he was missing you. Phone calls could only hold him over for so long, and with both of your hectic schedules he hadn't been busking and you hadn't left the library unless it was to go home and sleep. Eddie walked up to your front door and knocked, only to be met with the door swinging open after the first rap.
"Hey, sorry! I swear I wasn't just waiting by the door. I was just nearby and heard it so yeah," You rambled, moving aside to let him in.
" 'S all good, doll." Eddie looked around your apartment and smiled. It was all very you; Brightly colored and tidy. Not necessarily organized, but put together in a way that made sense to you.
He toed off his shoes and left them next to a pile of yours before venturing further into the room. He could see where you set up a little snack bar on your kitchen table, two pizza boxes and various fun sized candy bars lay waiting for the two of you to dig into.
"I wasn't sure what kind of pizza you like, so I just got pepperoni and cheese. I hope that's alright".
"That's perfect. Where should I put these?" Eddie held up a bag of popcorn and a box of soda.
"Here let me take them. I'll throw the popcorn in the microwave. Make yourself comfy," You said with a smile before disappearing into the kitchen.
He looked around your living room, seeing piles of blankets precariously balanced on a little wooden basket in the corner. He made his way over to your bookshelf, glancing over the titles. A mix of textbooks and regular novels stared back at him.
You came back into the room with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn and a stack of VHS tapes. "Okay, so I've got Pet Sematary, Puppet Master, and Ghostbusters 2 so we end on a funny note," You said, filing through the VHS tapes that you rented.
"You have your own little system, huh? You're so scared of these movies that we have to end on Ghostbusters, sweetheart?" Eddie took a chance and slightly crowded into your space near the snack table.
You felt your face warm at the pet name and his newfound closeness. "I do actually. I love scary movies, but I wasn't sure how you felt about them so I got the soft one just in case". You softly nudged his shoulder with yours.
Eddie was too giddy about the teasing banter between you to realize that his plan flew right out the window.
"Would you mind grabbing some ice for us while I set up the TV? Cups are in the cupboard above the microwave," Your voice pulled Eddie out of the clouds.
He cleared his throat. "S-sure, I'll be right back".
As Eddie began to crack the ice out of your ice tray, he could hear you hum to yourself as you put in the first movie and rewound it since the last person ignored the "Be kind and rewind!" message on the box. He walked into the living room with two cups of ice to find you looking down at the ground.
"I didn't want to see what happens in the film," You sheepishly explained yourself. Eddie just grinned.
He poured the two of you sodas from the box he brought, watching as the drinks fizzled and almost overflowed and setting them on your coffee table.
When he was done he picked up the plates you had set out and started dishing out the pizza. "Cheese or pepperoni, doll?"
"Cheese please!"
He set your plates on the table next to your drinks and got comfy on your couch as you pressed play on the movie. Just as the open sequence started, you jumped up to turn off the living room light, only leaving the kitchen light on.
As your movie marathon continued into the night, you both shifted on the couch to get comfortable. It wasn't until halfway through the second film, when his hand brushed against your knee that he realized how close you had unknowingly gotten to each other.
You looked at him, face warm. His eyes glowed with the light from the television, highlighting the perfect sparkle his coffee brown eyes always seemed to hold. The slope of his nose was contoured by the shadows and minimal light in the room, beautifully sculpting his features.
Eddie could feel your eyes staring at him, could feel the blush rising to his cheeks. He took a chance and glanced over at you, but you had already turned your attention back to Puppet Master. He took advantage of the situation and allowed himself to take in your appearance. He greedily soaked in how your hair looked, how your eyes shined under the bright lights of the TV. Really, he was admiring you just the same.
When you shifted in your seat and stole another glance at him, both of your faces grew warmer as he was already staring at you. You both quickly looked away, embarrassed that you'd been caught before slowly looking back at each other. You both collapsed into a laughing fit at how absurd the whole staring contest was.
When the laughter died down, you took a deep breath. "You know, Eddie. You're awfully pretty".
Eddie didn't know how his face could grow any warmer, but it did. "That's funny, I was just about to say the same thing to you".
You scooted a little closer to him. "Is it okay if I touch you?"
He all but whimpered. "Please".
You softly grasped his jaw, caressing his cheeks with your thumbs. He looked down at your lips and then back at you, silently asking permission. When you slowly nodded, he leaned in and connected your lips.
When William Goldman wrote about the best kisses, the most passionate and most pure, he must have been talking about this kiss. The kind of kiss that had you clamoring for more. Had soft moans coming from the both of you. Had both of you grasping at each other, softly but surely throwing how enamored you felt into the kiss.
The movie was long forgotten when Eddie finally pulled away for air. "Sweetheart, you've got me wrapped around your little finger, I hope you know that".
"Funny, I was just thinking the same about you".

During dsmp s1, I was not a c!dream apologist. I thought he was a really cool character but I could not excuse his actions (same goes for other characters). I didn't really interact with the lorehead side of the fandom so I didn't really see how the rest of the subblrs treated dreblr. I may not agree with dreblr on some parts of the lore but reading how they were treated breaks my heart cause you guys are genuinely some of the nicest people I've seen, especially you Loyal. Your tags on fanart are always encouraging and your chicken posts are always so heart warming. I haven't been following you for long but its been very enjoyable. I'm sorry that alot of the fandom treats you like shit cause you don't deserve it :/ hopefully s2 of dsmp will drive away the more toxic people. Sending some good vibes your way ✨ 💜
it's funny because i never really did the whole 'sub tumblr' thing. i joined tumblr forever ago, there really wasn't anything like that, you know?
and i got some really weird hate for my c!techno takes because i joined fandom in the height of 'techno has a victim complex' takes and i was very vocal against them. it was a lot of the c!dream fans that stuck up for me the most.
when i started to post more about him and doomsday trio (my everything), it got worse and even though i still never really considered myself a part of dreblr, they literally always went to bat for me. i'd say that they defended me even for the c!techno hate i got even more than any techno-centric blogs ever did.
there's plenty of good people in the fandom, there really are! i think most people are good people, even the ones who haven't been so kind to me. sometimes that happens. sometimes we have off days. sometimes we fall into that trap of 'it's okay if it's this group'.
like, overall, i think everyone has the capability to be good and i have hope things will get better! and i'm extremely thankful for all the people who have stood up for me, people like blockgamepirate and others who aren't a part of dreblr, and definitely the people in dreblr who also have to deal with awful harassment but always make a point to stand up for me. <3 <3
and i'm thankful for people like you, too! it does a lot knowing people take time out of their day to send kind messages when they don't have to. <3 <3 thank you so much!

Sorry if this is weird but I saw on the tags of one of ur reblog’s that you’ve been thinking about c!phil in the qsmp and can you expand on that??
I’ve genuinely been thinking about this for WEEKS as well and I’d love to hear ur headcanons!! Only if you want to ofc!!
Oh sure, I'd love to!! (SUPER long post incoming, hope you're ready lmao.)
Honestly they're not so much headcanons as they are ideas for plot?? I like writing, so a lot of my ideas are in the form of stories. The main reason I haven't attempted a fic yet is bc I don't have Enough plot to make anything atm, I've only got random scenes.
ANYWAY. c!Phil in qsmp. I'd probably take c!Phil as he is shortly after c!Techno's passing and chuck him into the qsmp story in the little bit of lore-downtime between the spiderbit wedding and when the election stuff started kicking up (but it's been announced by this point). It’s just so that I don't have to worry about working him into any major story arcs. Missa and q!Wilbur are also there because I said so.
The main thing I have in mind is just c!Phil seeing how different the community is on the island relative to his world---how united the island is, how alive the island is. People have waystones directly connecting each other to their bases and central areas; they drop in on each other all the time. People's comms buzz constantly as full conversations take place over global chat instead of through whisper-messages. There are security doors and reinforced walls but they're not necessarily to keep other islanders out; people share passcodes and access keys for emergencies. Everyone seems to know and trust each other despite the mysterious (and sometimes dangerous) circumstances they find themselves in.
In c!Phil's quiet, post-post-post-Doomsday world, where most were scattered to the wind or went into hiding, this would be a serious shock for him. I think it would take him a bit of time (and quite a bit of reassurance from q!Missa and q!Phil) for him to adjust to the fact he doesn't need to put a hand on his weapon every time someone gets a little too close. He'd probably be a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of people and how inviting they are (introvert/isolationist moment). q!Phil (also introverted and isolative by nature) would clock this Immediately and come up with excuses for c!Phil whenever he clearly needs a break. Suddenly being around so many people, especially after c!Techno's passing...it would be draining.
What else... Oh, the "tttt" system! I have a whole Idea(TM) about this scene so I won't say too much here but c!Phil marveling at how everyone shows up to help. Again, the whiplash.
Also, hearing about the upcoming elections would give him an immediate shot of anxiety. Like, someone mentions the elections and c!Phil's face goes white. Yeah. Elections and community division are what led to him making the worst decision of his life (killing his son---though c!Wilbur's downward spiral started long before the elections). He hates to think that this loving community could be corrupted like L'Manburg's was. Before he's sent back to his homeword, he definitely takes the time to warn them about the potential danger they're running into.
OH! And the Technoblade shrine Tallulah made! Again, I've got a whole Scene about the Technoblade shrine in my head, so I'll keep this brief as to not just write out the whole scene (lmao), but I think he would really appreciate it. In his world, c!Techno had a lot more enemies than friends, so seeing how cherished c!Techno’s memory is in this world (cherished by q!Phil, by Chayanne, by Tallulah, by everyone who has heard the stories about Phil's old friend) would probably be so...relieving for c!Phil, who has felt so alone in his grief. (Of course, he has c!Niki and c!Ranboo to grieve with him back in his world, but again---hardcore isolationist. It would be a long time before he felt the motivation to reach out.)
I have a few other small details floating around (talking to q!Wilbur, the fancy "technology"/mods on the island, using paragliders to pseudo-fly, complaining about the tropical weather, the dubious existence of q!Kristin, anarchist solidarity, interactions with Chayanne and Tallulah, and so on) but I've laid out the meat of it.
God this post got long lmao. Clearly I need to get to writing that fic. Thanks for letting me ramble at ya! If you’ve got any ideas u wanna share, send em my way! No pressure to respond to this at all ofc I know this is a Lot. Thanks for the ask :D

Appreciation Time
I've decided to make this into one big post. I'm just gonna ramble because I'm feeling really blessed by the good people I've met via tumblr. I'm also really tired so prepare for the potential of me being really sappy and sentimental, making no sense or a combination of both.
@chocopinda Since that first message you sent to me on my Nacho blog it's been wonderful. It all blossomed from a mutual love of Lacho to so much more! Talking about life, pets, sharing cool things, coming up with neat things together; talking about Vaas and the tiger boys is always the best, as is the art you do for them along the way! Plus, you're the first person I talked about Vaas/Nacho with, and now the best person I talk about them with, and your art in that area is another absolute delight to see! But, for real, talking about everything is great with you, truly just the best time, and it's wonderful to have met such a genuinely kind person. Here's to an awesome friendship! ❤️ @jasonsnowwhitebrody We've only met recently, but I'm glad you reached out! It was awesome to see a Jason centered blog that was willing to interact and chat and just be cool. You're a lot of fun to talk to, not to mention very kind, and you're not afraid to give Vaas hell here in the blogsphere; we all know that he deserves every bit of it, so feel free to keep it coming as much as you want! Definitely another friend I'm glad to have made here! 💙
@michaelmandog I know we've only talked a few times, but that's okay! You've been so nice and a lot of fun to chat with those times, both here and on Nacho (still sorry for the confusion there, haha), and my inbox will always be open to you! 💜
@hotmessteaparty I know we haven't really talked, but you've been cool and very gracious about me tagging you in stuff, and your Vaason content is always fun to see (hard to believe I spent so much time insisting I'd never like Vaason, only to have my most recent replay flip that on it's head, haha). Keep being cool! 💚
These are just some of my very special mentions. Honestly, I adore all of you that I'm mutuals with, everyone is seriously kind and I can't express how nice it is to be here and see everyone's posts and ideas.
Anyway, just some things that needed saying. Sorry if I embarrassed anyone! Might be embarrassing myself with this too, but y'know, totally 100% worth it for such genuinely amazing people!
❤️❤️❤️

To the Shadows that Cry Witch /// Chapter 10
Tumblr media
Hello! I do apologise for posting this a day late, my friend comes round most Fridays so I have a tendency to be distracted. Anyway, we're on Chapter 10, the finale of Part 1!! I never thought I would get this far (even though the story has barely started lol) so I just want to thank everyone who has supported so far, even if it is only through likes, I cherish every single one. Now unfortunately, I will be taking a small break before posting Part 2, but it won't be long - the latest I will post is approximately June 16th, if not before then! I will also be opening requests during my break, so keep an eye out for when I do, because I will be limiting spaces. Apart from that, I hope you love Chapter 10, and I will see you all soon! Enjoy! <3
Summary: Magic was real, but it came at a price. So when two girls end up in the one place they never thought they could reach, strange things began to happen. Good or bad? That's up to them to find out.

Tumblr media
It wasn’t long before we were sat down on some comically small chairs, much to Bilbo’s dismay as he watched us try to fit our legs under the low table, knees bending at odd angles.
“I do apologise for the arrangement; we don’t get many visitors from beyond the Shire.” He explained as he pattered through to the kitchen, setting the kettle back on the fireplace hob to reheat after our prolonged wake up. “Let alone those of yourrr….” He gestured up and down whilst trying to come up with a polite word.
“Height?” I suggested.
“Yes! Height. I can’t say I’ve seen much of your kind around here, besides the odd traveller passing along our borders.” He told us, before beginning to trail off. “Also that wizard with the fireworks…..”
“Gandalf?!” Kay spurted eagerly, suddenly attentive. It seemed the excitement was getting almost too much for the both of us.
Bilbo looked almost taken aback at Kay’s sudden change in demeanour, his hand hovering whilst grasping a tea towel as he stared, before returning to pick up the hissing kettle.
“Well—yes.” He replied, coming over to the table to fill up three cups with steaming tea. “I take it you know him?”
For a moment my eyes darted between him and Kay, my mouth open slightly as I came up with a convincing response.
“Well, no, not really. Sort of just..,” I rambled as I waved my hand around slightly, trying to think of a convincing answer.
“—He’s quite popular!” Kay interrupted. “Where we’re from, actually, most people we know, know of him.”
“I see.” Bilbo frowned slightly, turning back around to return the kettle and hang up the tea towel. “Well, I haven’t seen him round these parts in quite some time, but his fireworks I most definitely remember.” He mentioned fondly, his voice trailing away slightly as he entered what I figured was the pantry.
I hummed in agreement, picking up the cup of tea with my bandaged hand and testing the temperature. Before I could take a sip, though, a thought reached me, and I twisted in my chair to face Bilbo who was just exiting the pantry with the rest of the breakfast arrangement in his arms. I scrunched my face at the painful jab I got from my ribs, reminding myself to keep my injuries in mind, before going back to ask my question.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve just remembered, I.. don’t think we got your name?”
Kay subtly gave me a strange look, her eyes asking me what I was doing. I gave her a reassuring glance.
Bilbo froze, face looking as if I had just insulted his mother, but within a second, he had launched the arrangement he had brought through onto the bread board on the kitchen side.
“Terribly sorry!” He exclaimed, whipping back round. “My name is Bilbo Baggins, of Bag End!” He took a deep breath, brushing imaginary dust off his robe. “I do apologise, it seems last night has had a bit of an effect on my formalities.”
I gave him a smile. “Oh it’s alright, you taking us in last night was plenty enough. You… basically saved us, well what was left.” I half-joked, gesturing at the two of us. “So we sorta owe you our lives.” I explained with a light laugh, whilst Kay nodded in agreement.
“Oh—I—well, I only did what was necessary.” He replied bashfully, his ears now an even brighter red than before. He finally sat down, wrapping his own hands around his cup of tea. “Speaking of names..” He nodded his head between us with raised eyebrows.
“Oh! I’m Kay.” Kay placed her hand on her chest with a wide smile. Bilbo then looked at me expectantly.
“Kate.” I stated with a warm grin.
He leant back, satisfied, though I could see him mouthing the names to himself, seeming a little confused as he narrowed his eyes slightly in thought.
“I must say, I’ve never heard such names before. And they both sound awfully similar…” Bilbo’s brows furrowed even more as he switched between our faces. It seemed that he would have trouble telling our names apart.
“We can explain them to you later.” I waved it off in an attempt to reassure him through his confusion.
He quickly shook himself out of any prior perplexment, nodding before standing back up and finishing the breakfast preparation.
It wasn’t long before the table was covered from top to end, mouth-watering food piled up that reminded us almost of an English Breakfast. After spending almost three days without any proper food, we filled our stomachs with what we could, making sure to share our thanks with Bilbo, who now had permanent pink ears from the compliments, especially when we started to throw his home into the mix.
Swallowing the last of the remaining food on my plate, I felt myself begin to sweat slightly at the uncomfortable feeling my ribcage gave me. The agonising ache I had tried to deal with all morning seemed to worsen as the chewing, swallowing and uneven breathing unsettled everything. I decided to ask something that had been on my mind since I ran my hand over the crusty mud now solidified on my trousers, but also as a means to distract myself from the uncomfortableness, because right now it was all I could think about.
“I don’t suppose you know of any places we could get clothes, or materials for clothes?” I managed to gasp out. Kay eyed me, a slight bit of concern showing on her face as she watched my uncomfortable expression.
Luckily it seemed Bilbo hadn’t noticed, as he made sure to finish his toast before he answered. “Well, I doubt there’ll be anyone for quite a few miles who will be able to lend clothes that fit you straight away.” I sighed slightly, looking down at my dirty clothes. “But!” I looked back up as a lightbulb went off in his head. “Gladiola Greenfoot, just down the hill, has a knack for spinning together an outfit for any occasion, considering the constant growing of her seven kids. You’ll have to pay her, and go down to get measured as well, since I doubt she’s ever sewn for big folk.”
I gave Kay a weary look at the sound of payment.
“That’s the thing. I don’t think our currency works here, let alone whether or not we have enough.” I tried to explain.
Bilbo took in the sight of our sullen faces (though mine mostly wasn’t about the money) and sighed slightly as he racked his brain for a solution. But he knew Gladiola enough to know she wouldn’t go out of her way to make a new wardrobe for two strangers for free, considering she had several miniature mouths to feed. That was until he watched as a thought come to the mind of, what was it, ah, Kay? She straightened up slightly, her eyes darting around until she leaned forwards over the table.
“What if we… oh I’m not sure.” She murmured uneasily, before leaning back on her chair dejectedly.
“Nooo, what is it?”  I encouraged, me and Bilbo now with our full attention on her as we waited eagerly.
She looked between us, unsure about her idea. She toyed with the fork in her hand before speaking.
“I mean, it’s asking a bit too much, but we don’t really have anywhere to go for a while, and since we can’t pay in money, we could, you know…” she looked up at Bilbo nervously, “pay in work hours?”
“Like chores?” I asked almost excitedly, whilst watching Bilbo’s for any expressions that could give away his thought process.
“Yeah, like, we could work for free for a while in exchange for clothes. You know, labour for labour.” Kay explained with a shrug of her shoulders.
It was now Bilbo’s turn to stare at the table, his thumb rubbing at his bottom lip in thought.
“We could do chores for Mrs Greenfoot in exchange for her making clothes, and if it’s not too out there, we could do chores for you in exchange for staying here for a bit? You know, considering we have absolutely no idea where we are or where we need to go.” I offered, though unsure, thinking we may have asked too much too early.
Bilbo hummed as he continued to stare into space as he processed the possibilities.
“I know it’s so all of a sudden,” I tried to reassure. “But we’re only asking since we’re sorta desperate for a place to stay.” Kay nodded along as she kept an eye on the fact my eyes were now becoming droopy. I saw the worry on her face and blinked a few times to try and snap out of it.
Finally zoning back in, Bilbo looked between us.
“I suppose I could do with some help around the house.” He murmured to himself, causing us to straighten up in anticipation. We both glanced at each other anxiously and I felt my good leg bounce as much as it could in the small space it was given as we watched Bilbo tap away at the table with his fingers, whilst his face varied through different expressions. Finally, he looked up, startling slightly at the sight of us staring with wide expectant eyes as we waited. Though it wasn’t until my bouncing leg accidentally jolted the table that he found the words.
“I mean, it’s not like I don’t have the room, nor am I the busiest hobbit in Hobbiton.” He pondered. Then with a stern face, he pointed between us. “As long as you don’t cause any trouble—”
“—We’ll behave!!” I cut in almost immediately, my hands gripping the edge of the table as I felt my chest burn at the sudden motion. “We promise, we’re the least troublemaking people you’ll ever meet, Mr Baggins!”
His eyes darted across my scratched up face as I gave him the most convincing doe eyes that I could, my dark brown irises baring intently into his forest green ones. With a sigh, he seemed to relent from his doubts as he relaxed back in his chair.
“Alright then.” He breathed with a half wave of his hand.
Kay immediately cried out in relief, before resorting poor Bilbo to another round of compliments whilst stating her many thanks. I leant back in my chair with a huffed laugh, tilting my head towards the ceiling in an attempt to stretch out the tension that had begun to build up in my neck. Looking back down at the two sat in front of me, I slouched slightly in my chair as a wave of both relief and fatigue swept over me.
“You won’t regret this Mr Baggins.” I stated as a tired smile made its way onto my face. “We may have only met today, but we’re gonna be the best chore-doers you’ve ever seen.”
He barked out a slight laugh. “Well I don’t know about that! But I guess you have time to live up to that claim.”
The excitement soon began to calm down, and it wasn’t long before Bilbo was out of his seat and taking his plate and cutlery to the sink across the room. Kay soon pushed her own chair back, and I watched as she went to reach for her own plate, picking it up.
My eyes followed as she went to reach for her cutlery next, that was until she stumbled slightly as what seemed to be a wave of dizziness hit her. As quickly as I could, I stood up, snatching the plate out of her hand and haphazardly throwing it back down onto the table before using the same hand to grab her wrist in an attempt to stabilise her.
She looked up, blinking rapidly as she tried to focus her eyes on her surroundings as I eased her back onto her seat. “You still have that concussion, remember?” I explained, before letting out a sharp hiss as my hand flew to my side, taking the deepest breaths I could as I sat myself back down.
Bilbo whirled around from where he was across the room as soon as I spoke.
“Concussion!?” He exclaimed, almost panicked as he hurried over. He looked at me, quickly spotting my pained expression. “Ho—How injured are you two!?”
“Pretty badly.” I answered meekly. I watched as further horror crawled into Bilbo’s expression as I listed off what we had endured, though purposely failing to mention that the worst wasn’t exactly from the fall we had by his house.
“Wha—Well, why didn’t you say so earlier!?” He sputtered as he practically dragged us through the house to the parlour where he plopped us down on some very comfy looking armchairs. We both observed him as he began pattering about again, quickly washing up what he could before hurrying off to what we supposed was his bedroom. Within minutes he was marching back out again, though he was now dressed for the day. And I admitted that he certainly wore clothes that matched his societal status. He was dressed as if we had gone back in time to the olden days of the English countryside, embellished in a finely made cream tunic tucked into a set of forest green trousers held up with suspenders, and topped with an ornately embroidered golden waistcoat.
We craned our necks as our eyes followed him to the front door, where he hastily threw on a blue overcoat. Swinging the door open, he went to step outside, but hesitated. Twisting on his heel with his finger pointed upwards, he glanced at his with his mouth open slightly like he was in thought. His pointed finger then was aimed at us as he spoke.
“Wait here.” He ordered. “Help yourself to the leftover tea, but do not overdo it or move too much.”
And much like our first encounter with him this morning, he was outside in a flash, the ends of his coat billowing behind him as he swung the door shut.
