yuguyao sweets part 6 🫶🏼 🍬🍭 and other things..

( a very cute / good boi shuo shuo invites you in. )

this is his most recent one released by tencent video. i just love these because we are free to study it and the seeing how he explains things — no one can confirm that it has nothing to do with some of his life experiences.

what cpfs are mostly pointing out is this part, where he talks about when zhu yan stabs shi ying. and oh, apparently zz improvised the line : “if i die, will you be sad?”

He comforted her, he said don't be sad. I will not blame you. If there’s a kind of comfort, I think,, this is not the state of people who are truly in love for a long time. The state of people who are truly in love should be, I want you to feel sad for me. So when I am dying, I can hear your heartfelt words. I'll be happy if you’re sad because I feel like I've never been a perfect person in the setting of Shi Ying. I don't want him to be the perfect one. The director, writer, screenwriter and producer we all participated in heated discussion. That is, “what would happen if lovers really fell in love with each other?” I believe it will not be like this. Everyone is very twisted. The relationship must not be very smooth.

So let’s just analyze this…

1. People who are truly in love for a long time? Sir. What do you know about that? Maybe it has something to do with your husband. You can say that he got this understanding from somewhere and not necessarily from personal experience, but i feel like, when it comes to love and this kind of explanation, it has to be from XZ himself. When you talk about “love” in this kind of drama setting, it usually does not reflect what happens in real life. I’m glad he fought for that and has that kind of experience so he can give some input.

2. The part where he says, “I want you to feel sad for me.” — brings turtles back to the Japan Trip. When they were both “sad” because they were apart and both were not sure what will happen to them. We know they both gravitate towards “bittersweet love songs” and probably towards stories with that tone, but hearing XZ openly saying that love isn’t just sunshine and rainbows but also sadness is comforting. What matters is you stay together and are with each other in the happy & sad moments. When you think about how long they have been together and all the storms they had to go through — it makes sense that XZ will mention this. I wanna say WYB is attuned with XZ’s emotions, even if you don’t SZD, in the interviews back in 2019, it was so obvious that WYB can sense when XZ was already uncomfortable and will do his best to divert the attention.

3. The way he explains falling in love as twisted & not very smooth which i think means the ��reality” of a relationship. Turtles were then quick to point out the “jealousy” examples we’ve seen before.

While I don’t think every evidence we’ve seen was jealousy ( tho happy camp gg was scary ), it makes sense in this context. The two of them didn’t have a very smooth relationship journey and even now, there are challenges but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. add the fact that it’s to be expected because of who they are. No matter what relationship timeline you believe in, theirs is not exactly the conventional story, so it’s telling that XZ describes falling in love this way.

I also read this comment and it’s so true!!!! XZ will not settle for anything less when it comes to love and maybe some people will find it too demanding.

If there is one person who can meet that standard and has a one track mind when it comes to the things he loves, someone who will pursue it no matter what — it’s wang yibo. 💚

I also love the part where he says one his favorite shoot was when the temple was being fixed and they had to be “outside”. they shot it in the studio and the light was very warm, like the sunshine. Oh. Okay. 👀

you mean like WYB’s song…. they really gravitate towards the same things, and to think this interview was way before the song was released.

AND OH this behind the scenes clip reminds us of this xz and wyb interaction. Their brains really connect like no other and they have the same humor! 😂😂😂

This one is not YGY related, but apparently the new trailer for One and Only was posted 10:05 then was deleted and reposted again. I’m sure there must be a reason, but turtles can’t help but clown and think they didn’t want to give candy with the 10:05 😂😂 or they did, but took it back. LOL.

There are figures sold for Chen Shuo & Shi Ying from the same company! I guess this fulfills people’s AU pairing of Shiying x Modern Yibo. of SDC 5 Yibo will work too 🥹🥹🥹

-END.

Congrats on 600 followers dear writer!! 🥳❤🎉

I believe Remus would be the sweet boy sending his girlfriend her favourite flowers :)

Drowning in words so sweet - Did you get the sunflowers I send you yesterday?..." with Remus Lupin, please.

My Little Sunflower

Remus Lupin x fem! reader

Summary: Remus sends his girlfriend flowers

Warnings: pure fluff, small Sirius cameo, one swear

A/n: 0.8k words, thank you love! I adore this idea, yes he would he so would send flowers 💛

Navigation | Remus Lupin Masterlist | Celebration

You fiddled with the keys to your apartment quickly, hearing the phone through the door “Come on you piece of…oh yay” you celebrate as the door finally wants to open, half dropping your stuff at the door as you run over to the phone “Hello” you say a little distressed and panting

“Hello love” you hear the amusement in your boyfriend’s voice

You were no longer annoyed at the previous rush to get in “Hi Rem” your voice picking up in tone, lighting up much like your face as you smile “How are you?” you ask

“I’m grand just got back from helping Sirius pick the perfect saddlebag for his bike, did you know there are over 20 shades of black and only 5 generate bi-energy?” he says half chuckling before you both start giggling when Sirius shouts out something about there being 6 but one in his own words had a ‘shit name’

After hearing Remus shoo Sirius out of his own flat he returns to the phone “Sorry about him” he says light-heartedly

“No worries”

“How are you? Did I catch you at a bad time, you seemed rather out of puff” he asks with a small chuckle, although you know him well enough to hear the small worry laced in there, nerbous incase you were busy and he disturbed you

You shake your head before realising he can’t actually see that “No you didn’t, I was just getting in and I was rushing because I could hear the phone from outside” you cringe as your face heats up, sure that he can feel the warm radiating through the phone

“You’re adorable you know that?” he says endearingly

Cue heart flutter “You’re adorable” you mutter back

That earns a soft laugh from him “So, did you call just to check in?” you ask smiling away

“Yes, but I was also wondering…” you can feel his smirk through the phone

“Wondering what?” merlin did you love his voice

“Did you get the sunflowers I sent you yesterday?” he confirms

You pout looking around “I didn’t” he can definitely hear the disappointed pout that taked over your face

“I had them send to the door” he informs you

“Yesterday?” you check knowing you weren’t in and when he hums in agreement you realise “Oh I was out with Marlene and Dorca, I stayed at theirs…one minute it might be at the door” you put down the phone

Remus smiles to himself as he hears you shuffle over to the door, it distantly opening followed by a cute squeal which makes his heart burst and decide to give you an extra surprise

You were practically jumping up and down in the hall as you saw the beautiful pot of sunflowers, you felt so happy, your heart going wild. Last week you had been walking by a field of them with Remus on a day out and said they were your favourite since they always make you smile.

You held them close to your chest, not hearing the fireplace in the next room as you returned to the phone “Oh my god Rem I love them! And you so, so, much I can’t believe you remembered” you say excitedly “Rem?” you say but there is no answer

“I’m glad you like them” Remus’ voice comes from behind you making you drop the receiver and almost the pot as it slips from your hands but luckily he catches it “Sorry love” he chuckles, holding one end of the pot when you hold the other

“You scared me” you start giggling with mock annoyance on your face before you fully register “Wait...you’re here” you light up shuffling closer to him, the flowers at the side of your bodies

He smiles brightly at you “I’m here” he pinches your cheek ever so lightly as he looks lovingly at you

“What did I do to earn myself a boyfriend like you” you look at him a happy disbelief a smile on your face that wouldn’t be leaving any time soon

His cheeks tint with a light blush “I ask myself the same every day” he cups your cheek, thumb tracing over your features softly like he’s painting them on “I love you my little sunflower” he says leaning down to nudge his nose with yours

“Love you more” you smile as you move your lips to brush with his

He shakes his head ever so slightly “Not possible” his lips tickle yours before he captures them in a meaningful slow kiss only broken when the flower tickles the side of your faces making you pull back laughing lightly

You giggle more as you take one of the flowers by the stem and gently make the petals tickle Remus, his nose scrunching up cutely as you do.

He was about to say something before you heard footsteps entering the room, both of you looking over to see Sirius holding up two identical bags “Sorry to barge in future Mrs Moony but sable or onyx?” he looks at you expectantly before seeing the pot “Oh cute flowers very you…wait…what’s the colour of the middle bit that’s perfect”

Cuddled Out

Peter’s pretty adorable, and pretty indestructible, and the Avengers tend to go just a little bit overboard sometimes.

Another Discord-baby. The idea of the Avengers being kind of aggressive with their affection where Peter's involved (like you have a puppy that's SO CUTE YOU JUST WANNA SQUEEZE IT TO DEATH - but resist) because he's so indestructible, and because he enjoys it, came up, and @yes-i-am-happyaspie, @call-me-coley, and I somehow ended up promising to write the idea (without sharing how we were doing it) with each other, then exchange stories today. So make sure you check theirs out, too! This isn't stuff I usually write either, so a little bit of a reach, like the last few one-shots I wrote! Plus I kept it right at 1500 words, which is also hard for me. :)

Join our happy little band: On the Iron Dad: Readers and Writers Discord

Teaser below the cut.

Peter Parker tried not to bounce too much in the back of Happy’s car. The forty-minute drive to the Compound seemed longer than usual today, but that’s probably because Peter was excited. There had been a lot of missions this month (that he hadn’t been invited to, mostly since he’d been doing term papers and taking finals for the last several weeks) and he hadn’t seen most of the Avengers in weeks or even months. But there was finally nothing going on (that they knew of) this weekend, and Peter had been invited to spend a few days with the team, just hanging out. There was going to be pizza, and games, and science, and movies, and maybe some super-powered Capture the Flag, if Peter could talk Tony into it.

“You glad your finals are over, kid?” asked Happy with an almost-smile, meeting Peter’s eyes in the rearview mirror. “You’re kinda quiet back there.” Happy used to mostly keep the divider up while they drove, but he hadn’t done much of that since they’d started getting more comfortable with each other. Peter had been surprised to realize that a lot of Happy’s reticence and gruffness actually seemed to be masking some low-level social anxiety. Peter definitely empathized with that. But Happy had been more chatty in recent months.

Peter smiled back at him. “Right, I’m super glad. It’s been a rough couple of weeks. Mostly I’m just excited to see everyone though.”

“I guess you haven’t been around much lately, huh?”

Peter shook his head. “The last time I got to see everyone was like two months ago. I mean, I saw Ms. Romanoff last week for training, and Dr. Banner helped me with my final Chemistry paper, but otherwise…”

“And you’ve seen Tony, of course.”

“Well, yeah. I couldn’t not see him. I just haven’t seen the rest of the team, or been together with them in a while.”

Hi Mah, I’ve noticed a lot of writers saying their fics aren’t being commented on or reblogged as much as they were before, and that it’s been discouraging. I can’t speak why for everyone but this is my story. I used to comment and reblog everything because I appreciated the hard work everyone put in. I got inspired to write a few fics of my own, hoping I would get the same support or even suggestions on ways I could improve my writing from all the writers I looked up to, but I got nothing. I spent hours and days writing, reading articles, and watching YouTube videos on how to improve your writing, but I never got one comment, like, kudos, or reblog from any of the writers I showed my support to. I started to notice people had their own little friend/support group and would reblog and comment on each other's posts or stories, but not the newer writers unless you were a phenomenal writer. If you weren’t worth their time, then you were unnoticed and not appreciated. It didn’t matter that you wrote long detailed comments on every single chapter of their story and reblogged their stories, hoping it would get more attention to help encourage them. You and one other blogger were the only ones that I got a comment from, and I ended up unfollowing everyone except for you and the other blogger. I stopped writing, deleted my stories on one of my low days, and unfollowed everyone but you and the other blogger. I stayed away from the Harry Potter community for a while. You two are the only ones I will take time out of my day to write comments for. I’ve read other stories, but I don’t comment on theirs unless it's by a new writer. I try to show encouragement and give suggestions in ways I wish I would have gotten them. I just wanted to say thanks, and I've come across some great new writers through your blog. I’ve been absent for a long time, but I’m back now. I hope things have changed and everyone is more supportive of one another. I don’t know if people are hesitant to help other writers but they take 5 minutes out of their day to read their stories and write two lines of encouragement or heck even a pm on ways you think the story could be improved, newbies will appreciate it more than you’ll ever understand. I just think if you want a little love then you need to show a little love too.

Hey, Anon. I went back and forth on how to answer this because yes, I understand it, but also... not?

I really don’t want to sound dismissive; I get it, writing takes time and effort, you put a piece of your heart there, and when people don’t seem to notice it, you take it personally. I've been there as, in a way, all who has ever posted their fan work have been. It’s shitty.

But you cannot control anyone else. If you are writing and posting because you want people to comment and engage; don’t. It will drive you mad, trust me, because there is no bar that will ever suffice. Write for your own joy... and read and review for your own joy.

If you want criticism, ask for it, send a pm to those who answer it. Join a discord. The review section in a fanfic is not the place for it, it would be just rude. And accept that sometimes there is no problem, no reason for why your fic is unnoticed; no one has ever cracked the code for what makes a fic popular, and honestly, I am glad for it. It’s cliche, but true: you are the only one who can write your stories.

Finally, I get the if you want love you need to offer some love, but also... it sounds entitled? Threatening? I am not sure. Fanfics are for free; they are supposed to be fun. When they stop being something that you can enjoy, what is the whole point?

I am sorry you didn’t feel your effort was appreciated. I hope that, despite everything else, you loved giving voice to the characters, crafting a scenario out of nowhere, and spinning words into something that was real and yours. I hope you stick around.

#the first fanfic I ever posted on ao3 got one comment and then nothing #the first fanfic I wrote after 10 years away from fandom got no reviews #i wrote a hundred thousand words and maybe one or two people were following #i got 23 views on each chapter and I was happy for it #and still i get the wish to write something everyone will enjoy #only i've also come to terms with the fact you cannot please everyone #and some people will simply ignore you for no good reason #the same way you will not read everything and you will not enjoy everything #and that's fine #that’s why you need to write first for yourself #and share for the one or two people who will make editing and posting worth it #i appreciate you one and you two person btw #and I am sorry I haven’t engaed much lately #I have felt at odds for a while now #so when it becomes too much I just take a break #because I cannot control anyone else but me :)#this is a messy post #just pm anon

I used to hate Vince, very much, but your fic and how you write him gave me another perspective of the character (and now I do like him). Also, that same fic made ship him with Jack, like ship hard. If this doesn't count as possible spoiler for the fic, can you give us some hc for them?

Aw, thank you very much! I’ve always really liked Vince though I wished he had been more three dimensional, but I guess that’s a little too much to ask for from a show that mainly focuses on the aliens and their problems instead of the humans and theirs, which makes sense though it’s disappointing at times. 💔 I’m glad my fic helped you warm up to Vince more! It means I’m doing something right as a writer. 😊

As for headcanons, I’ve got more than a few! I’m not really sure if these will be spoilers for the fic, as I actually have no clue how far it will actually go, but I’ll share some general headcanons that I don’t think will be touched upon in the story!

- Vince is the worst at cooking. He’s banned from the kitchen and Jack will not hesitate to tell him that he can’t cook a gourmet meal to save his life. Vince accepts this. However, that does not stop him from trying whenever Jack’s back is turned. He just wants to make his boo a nice breakfast in bed, is that too much to ask for? Yes, yes it is.

- their ideal date is going for a leisurely drive around Jasper and the surrounding area on a nice sunny day, with the likes of bands like Linkin Park and Daughtry playing on the radio. Vince has made it a personal mission to get Jack into rock music. It is working, though Jack will deny it profusely whenever Miko is within earshot. They also like getting ice cream together, and indulging on said frozen treats during the drive.

- after, y’know, being knocked out by an ex-friend, Vince loses some of that confrontational attitude that he had, as he’s afraid that if the same mistakes are repeated, he will not get so lucky a second time. However, if anyone messes with Jack or his loved ones, then he will unleash the beast, but he will not if anyone bothers him. So Jack is the one who usually comes to Vince’s rescue when needed, which everyone else has mixed feelings about because he will not hesitate to take a nearby fire extinguisher and hold it threateningly.

- they find comfort in just each other’s company. They don’t need to talk in order to comfort the other. All they need to do is hold each other and cuddle for a while and that’s all it takes to realize that everything’s okay, that they’ll be okay, that they’re safe and well. Vince especially needs this; Jack’s affection keeps him grounded and anchored to the earth, it keeps him from doing something impulsive and possibly dangerous.

- much to everyone’s surprise, Vince is the most affectionate, especially verbally. He’s got a new pet name for Jack every other week. The one he uses the most, though, is “Bunny” - basically, he took Miko’s “Jackrabbit” and modified it to his liking. Jack will never admit out loud that he’s fond of the nicknames but the way it makes him blush is a sign that he does like them.

- also surprising to everyone is the fact that Jack is a literal thief. Vince’s clothes, especially his jackets and his sweatshirts, go missing almost all of the time and when he finally one day decided to actually look around instead of brushing it off, he found every. Single. Lost. Garment. neatly organized in Jack’s closet. After Jack is busted, he shamelessly wears the clothes when he goes out for school and to base instead of just wearing them at home.

(It has been a while since I’ve last drawn the humans of TFP, so I’m out of practice. This was also a quick doodle just for fun, so Vince and Jack don’t look perfect here!)

Bonus headcanon for the future:

- eventually, they will get married, some day in the distant future after they’ve completed college and have gotten stable jobs. They are deeply devoted to each other and very much in love, and neither one of them can imagine life without the other in it. They complete each other. They are two halves of one whole. They are perfectly capable of surviving apart, but they are much stronger together. They bring out the best in each other. There is no one in the whole universe who could ever compliment these two lovebirds more than they do for each other. After the rough patch in high school, and after they’ve worked out their issues and grown as people, these two get along so much better than anyone could have imagined. Sure, they have the occasional argument still, but they now know how to work it out so things get resolved quickly.

First of all, I’m in LOVE with Aftershocks! It’s everything I’ve been looking for in a post-movie fic. Buf I’m super curious about how Aftershocks came to be and how you guys manage to create a cohesive story with such a large group of writers!! How did you even find each other? How does this all work?

omg I'm so glad you're enjoying so much!! :DDD!! Thank you for reaching out to let me/us know! (This got long, so I'm putting part of it behind a read more.)

Okay so for a bit of history the five of us have been friends for years and @katiemonz basically dragged me kicking and screaming into watching Rise a few weeks before the movie came out because she wanted to rewatch it and she knew I would like it. And, basically, I latched onto it super hard super quickly. When this happens, I do the typical special interest thing where I talk about it nonstop and make my other friends watch the stuff I'm obsessed with. First my brother in autism (Ben) @dunkalfredo fell into my trap and soon enough we were off to the races. @octolingkiera and @mcbethins followed shortly thereafter.

The five of us have always been writers in some form or another, so, after we all watched the movie together on premier night, it felt natural to float the idea of a giant collab fic where we each take a POV and run through the aftermath of the movie. I volunteered to post first because I'm the fastest writer out of all of us, with a promised post-date of the next Saturday (a week after the movie dropped) and I got to work. Originally, the fic was supposed to just be five chapters--one from each of us--but the plot line we agreed on turned out to be a lot bigger than we intended, so I got to the end of the first day in my first chapter, looked at the projected two weeks we were supposed to cover, and consulted the council with my worries. I was already 5k words in and there was no way I was going to finish in a timely or concise manner, so we agreed to bump it out to 10 chapters (2 each).

While writing my second chapters, I cracked 10k words and realized that we would need 15 chapters. Everyone agreed.

As to how we wrangle this thing: what I wanted to happen was for everyone to write simultaneously, but that didn't exactly happen. What ended up going down was I did the initial exploratory writing with Mikey's chapters, established a timeline, and wrote the whole thing, and then everyone else kinda used my chapters as a skeleton to hang theirs off of. There's nothing wrong with this and it ended up working out, but it did/does require a lot of cross-referencing from my collaborators, while I was allowed to kinda just write what I wanted. It's a fair tradeoff, I suppose; I had to do a lot of the legwork, so I got to set up the timeline and write to my heart's content.

We brainstormed a lot on Discord, but a lot of it actually happened between Katie and me because we live together. Emotional Trauma Uno actually started as a sort of joke, but then I took it and spun it into a serious recovery ritual. I'm glad that it came into the fic, but it wasn't something we discussed ahead of time and I'm grateful to my collaborators for running with it. I remember the moment when I introduced the poker chips, because originally the Uno games were supposed to be a lot like the one that happens at the beginning of Mikey's third chapter: no chips, just raw vulnerability.

For cohesion: everyone was really good at latching onto small details that were mentioned in other chapters, and we tried to run major character beats past each other. (For example, when Ben wanted to have Mikey use a poker chip on Donnie in his chapter, he made sure to okay it with me so that I could slip a reference to it into my chapter). I also edit every chapter (except Ben's because he's a good noodle) and read everything as a sort of final continuity check.

Even now, as we pump out the final chapters, we're cross-referencing and running things past each other. Kiera's working on a Splinter POV scene and McBethins has made sure to remind her that Raph already had a talk with Splinter; Ben made sure to ask me how many days occurred between events because Donnie is very attuned to the passage of time while the days blended together for Mikey; Katie is closely counting the blue chips the rest of the family has to use on Leo and running checks to make sure she hasn't missed any; when I was writing my chapters, I made sure to explain my thought process for non-Mikey character actions so everyone knew both how Mikey was perceiving their actions and how I was actually picturing them reacting to things.

Quite honestly, I've always wanted to do a giant collab like this, so it's been a LOT of fun! I didn't expect this story to balloon this much, and I certainly didn't expect it to be this fun and easy! Even with the few hiccups we experienced, it was a blast, and I can't wait to collaborate with my friends again!

More Romance Writing Practice

I was asked to write about Langris/Finesse, and I am super excited, ngl, because I absolutely adore this dynamic (whether platonic or romantic)! 🥰 That said, I have only written about it in a romantic sense once, however, and was reaching a bit of a writer’s block with my requested story so I decided to put that one pause for a bit and play around with the pairing in another piece to get more comfortable with writing it. I might delete this later, but the result is below the cut for now... 😅

Thanks for reading and for any feedback you'd like to provide. 💖

Word Count: 1158. Rated G. Warnings: Arranged Marriage (If that's a warning?); however, they are only engaged here.

The view from their opera box was positively spectacular though Finesse still peered through her opera glasses from time to time in order to get a closer look at the facial expressions of the performers, always big and exaggerated to add to the excitement and entertainment. The acoustics, however, were probably the most impressive—every note, every breath was so loud it was almost as if she was right in the middle of the stage. The noise even drowned out the quiet snores of their chaperone, the dowager marquess from the House of Papillon, who had fallen asleep in the dark seclusion towards the middle of the first scene.

Langris had had the forethought to gently take the dowager's opera glasses from her drooping hands before she dropped them in her sleep and caused a loud clatter which would surely draw unwanted attention, in addition to being dreadfully rude. Per usual, it seemed he had thought of everything—which only made sense, Finesse supposed, seeing as attending the opera had been his idea in the first place. Couples in a betrothal situation such as theirs were expected to attend certain obligatory social functions from time to time—balls, dinner parties, weddings, christenings, those types of things—but it was incredibly rare that they would go out for leisurely activities together on their own accord so it had been quite the surprise when he asked her if she would like to accompany him there.

She had so wanted to see an opera—craving the experience of live music—and wondered if he had known about her wish. Despite being a bit aloof and standoffish at times, Langris had proven to her time and time again that he was actually a deeply thoughtful person who might do such a thing, though she would never presume his motivations were so personal in nature in this or any other case. To her knowledge, he enjoyed the opera on his own accord and was merely being generous with his invitation.

She glanced over at him and wondered what he was thinking and if he was enjoying the performance. However, his expression was serious, intent, and unreadable, and she once again contented herself to simply never knowing what was actually going through his head. Instead, she turned her attentions back to the opera—losing herself in the music. She watched the story unfold on the stage with an almost awestruck wonder—a bright smile tugging at her lips throughout the rest of the scene.

Halfway through the scene which followed, probably her favourite so far if only for its gorgeous arias, she could almost feel Langris glancing over at her. In confusion, she turned, meeting his gaze in the dark of the opera house.

“Is everything alright?” she whispered leaning close enough for him to hear her, and she could have almost sworn there was a blush in his cheeks as he nodded back at her in reply.

“Fine. Are you alright?" he whispered back with a gentle concern. "If you’re tired and want to leave—?”

“No,” Finesse cut him off, placing her hand on his arm. She pulled it back almost immediately. “I mean…I’m alright, and I would like to see how it ends.”

Langris smiled slightly—though it was mostly obscured by the lack of lighting. “I’m glad you’re enjoying it.” He glanced backward towards the sleeping dowager marquess. “At least more than Lady Papillon.”

Finesse stifled a light chuckle behind her hand. “It’s wonderful,” she replied in hushed tones. “Only…I wish I knew what they were saying.”

With a slight tilt of her head, she smiled and shrugged her shoulders, and Langris nodded understandingly before turning his attention back to the stage. She watched as he swallowed hard before whispering, “He is trying to woo her, but…she’s afraid…”

Finesse’s brow furrowed. “Of him?”

Langris paused, taking a deep breath, but he shook his head. He wouldn’t turn towards her as he answered so quietly she almost didn’t hear him, “Of her feelings.”

Finesse inhaled sharply in surprise. She tilted her head inquisitively at Langris, but he was staring off towards the stage with an expression she couldn’t even begin to place. His face was flushed, and she didn’t expect him to say anything more when he continued, “She’s saying… 'I am frightened of my joy…’”

There was something in his tone that made Finesse shiver, and she was thankful that the opera house was so dark that he wouldn’t notice the tint of pink she could feel rising in her warm cheeks.

“Love and…desire and…doubt…”—he swallowed hard—“are battling in her heart…”

The dim light from the stage barely illuminated the red that filled his cheeks as his voice trailed and she reached out a trembling hand to him. When he turned to look at her, Finesse’s heart pounded. Despite having been having been promised in marriage to one another for years now, she had never been so close to him—merely a breath away. She could barely see the look on his face in the dark and couldn’t even begin to comprehend it. In the background, the music reached it’s crescendo. She didn’t need Langris’ translation to know that the fateful heroine had given in and allowed herself to be wooed—had opened her heart despite her fear.

“Langris…I…” she began to whisper as she tilted her chin towards him, hovering in front of his mouth—why exactly, she hadn’t the slightest idea and could only pause, almost frozen in that moment he began to lean towards her. The sound of applause echoed, but Finesse barely heard it.

The dowager marquess did, however, startling awake and clapping her own hands together with a yawn. Extremely red-faced, Langris and Finesse swiftly scrambled away from each other before their chaperone could notice their incredibly close and, no doubt, improprietous proximity to one another.

Langris bristled—running a hand through his hair and clearing his throat. “I apologize…” he began, but she cut him off with a shake of her head.

“It’s alright. I—”

“What was it that you said?” asked the dowager marquess, much too loudly for the current situation. Langris flushed—glancing around, presumably, to see if anyone had heard her impolitely loud outburst.

“I have your opera glasses,” he replied quietly, handing their chaperone the glasses he had taken from her earlier when she had first fallen asleep. Lady Papillon thanked him before leaning back in her seat and beginning to nod off again.

A particularly red Langris sighed and turned his attention back to the opera, and Finesse felt his grip on her hand loosen. Despite her embarrassment, however, she gave his hand a squeeze—hoping it would encourage him to hold hers for a little longer. His fingers tense before they shyly but tenderly intertwined with hers, and she thought back to his words, merely a translation but with so much emotion behind them: “‘I am frightened by my joy…’”

A smile tugged at her lips. Maybe, he didn’t have to be.

This is a very long reflection post so read if you want to. It’s very word vomity though so watch out

I’m doing an no-buy year, which has quickly morphed into a low-buy year. I’m 21, my partner is 22, and we’re still coming into our own. How can we do a no-buy year when our essentials include measuring spoons and stuff for work? I’m still building my wardrobe. They’re still building theirs. It’s not possible to stave off all buying, in all honesty. However, the low-buy year is going well. Rocket Money is the tool we’re using to keep track of spending. The app isn’t perfect (I’m a freelancer, so keeping track of my income is a nightmare) and i make a lot of purchases that I just charge them 1/2 for, so I’m not sure how much of the spending is accurate. But i think it’s going well. The issue is it takes a lot of time. So much fucking time. To plan out grocery lists and crock pot meals and lunches and strategically buying wardrobe choices. It also sucks when I buy pants for example and they just don’t fucking fit. I want to be body neutral, and appreciate my body for all that it can do, but it’s hard when I try to express that via my dollars and it blows back in my face. Even big bud press pants have their issues, and theyre the only pants i wear regularly

I’m started to realizing i can’t have everything i want in terms of what i want to do. There literally is not enough time. Every day i finish 99% of what i want to leaves me physically wrecked. My brain cannot fit that much stuff in it. I can’t read the books I want because i want to give them time/attention and i just fucking can’t. I hate delegating tasks and asking for help, and when my PCP tried to send me to collections i literally begged my mom to help me. I’m glad she/my stepmom were able to, but that was such a massive blow. Hyper independence is a fucking joke, which sucks.

I need to write more. It makes me feel better. I have commissions to finish. But writing fills me with dread because i hate everything I write. I just want to write and finish things but I literally fucking cannot. I remember watching some lawyer’s expertise talk on a video platform my mom paid for and he was like “writers write despite everything.” I literally can’t fucking do that. I think everyone thinks i have more time than I do. The principal for the school im student teaching at wants to put me in the substitute system so I can work “on my off days.” The 2.5 days I’m not in the classroom i am either at work or in class. Im in student government. I volunteer. What fucking off days. The weekend?? When you’re not open?? BFFR. Idk how I’m going to make up the two snow days we had. Lying, probably. Idk if this is sustainable but i don’t know what my other option is. Everything is too expensive.

I need to buy a pill holder for my Ritalin/caffeine pills/pain killers. I just need to find one with labels bc im an idiot.

The little stuff keeps falling through the cracks and becoming big stuff. I think i need to make a notion page where I track how often things actually take and rate their energy usage bc this is becoming a problem. I just cannot girlboss and work nonstop for 12 hours. My brain literally cannot handle that.

I need to sleep more. But to do that i need to do enough “non-necessary things” to give my brain a break.

I really need my Ritalin back. I was not super regulated to begin with, but the Ritalin helped so fucking much. I could get everything done and sleep at a reasonable time bc my brain was sufficiently worn out in all areas. Im self medicating with caffeine rn but Jesus Christ i want my meds back.

Anyway. My goals for February are to track expenses weekly (sun-sat) and do daily habits in my notebook and not notion bc i constantly forget to do that shit. We’ll see. I wish i was better at this stuff & i wish i was more forgiving with myself & i wish i didn’t feel the need to be The Best all of the time.

OMG!!!! I am so excited in regards to your update! My first smiths request from you, if you’re willing….could I get an HC of what sex would be like with Mr. Orange? If not, I totally understand! 🌸

I’m glad you had a good birthday! ♥️

Hi again, anon!! Thank you so much for your kindness! How are you doing today? And I am absolutely willing to do this request, its perfect! I might be a little less detailed than other writers at first because I'm so new, which I hope isn't an inconvenience in any way. But yes, I would love to do this! Oh god, I'm blushing right now for some weird reason, probs because I'm going to show my inner simp on the Internet, lmfao. Y'all have been warned, oh my god. Anyways, let's get right into the smut!!

Quick note, for people who are triggered by smut, please don't read this, I don't want to offend or hurt you in any way. And minors DO NOT INTERACT, if I catch you, I will block you! You have been warned!

FANDOM: Reservoir Dogs

GENRE: Requested headcanons, smut!

SYNOPSIS: You are Mr. Orange's gender neutral s/o in a romantic relationship with him, and you see his sexual side come out.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Smut, swearing, implied sex, romantic relationship, and me being stupid and awkward!

Orange is actually one of the sweeter fucks in regards to the Dogs, certainly the most selfless lover of the gang. He doesn't push you around, tease you too badly, or subject you to anything you deem to be out of your comfort zone. Honestly, he's a real cinnamon bun about it. He just loves you, and is so grateful that you two even have a sex life together. So of course he won't force you into anything you don't like.

Let me say though that his kindness does not translate into him being less horny than the others. Nope, his libido is just as through the roof as theirs is, if not more so because he's the youngest of the group. His stamina is formidable, he's like a bucking and kicking colt, bred to race.

However, I reiterate that he won't push you into sex just because of his horniness. A relationship is built on respect, which he understands applies to everything you two do. Freddy isn't about to violate your trust or love for a moment, not even a millisecond.

I hope that it's okay for me to insert a quick little smutty headcanon here that is kind of off topic, but I wanted to add it so badly. Plus, it actually fits Orange very well. I'm not sure if any of you are on TikTok or not ( I'm not, I just watch clips online from it ), or if you guys keep up with trends, but there was a hilarious series of videos where girlfriends/boyfriends would walk out naked on their lovers to pull them away from their video games. You do the same thing to Freddy, which obviously benefits the two of you in more ways than one, ha ha.

Moving on though, typically sex comes after a long period of foreplay through making out and teasing each other. He's so tender, kissing you with all his gusto and hands roaming free across your body. He loves the feeling of you under him, pinned below at his mercy. And you love it too, touching him without restraint too.

Laying on the sofa in your apartment, you two are right in the middle of kissing. Both your shirts lay discarded on the floor, his sweats hanging low around his waist, and your jeans unbuttoned. He groans when you clamp your hands on his ass, his bulge pressing against your crotch taut and rock-hard. Grunts and groans spill from his lips, curses pouring out.

After you two get off the remainder of your clothes off, you don't hesitate to get right into the actual dirty deed.

He's a great lover, rowdy, playful, like an excited puppy. His thrusts are deep, a little stabby, but calculated and controlled for both of your pleasure.

Freddy always tries to make sure that you're in as much bliss as he is, putting your pleasure above his first. You always cum first, he makes sure of it, and then he follows suit.

I swear to you the noises that come out of his mouth are unholy and filthy. He's animalistic, almost a completely different person.

" Ohh fuck, Y/N... God baby, just like that..."

" Goddamn it, you're sooo tight..."

" Ah, Jesus Christ, Y/N! Look at what you're doing to me, shit..."

" Yeah, you like that? Tell me, tell me how much you like it when I'm fucking you like this..."

He's a king of aftercare and I won't hear otherwise! After you two are finished, he will run you a bath if you need it, grab you a soda or some chips, and then pull you close in a warm cuddle. The blankets create a sort of cocoon for you two, soft and toasty for your naked bodies. He kisses your head, praising you and complimenting you the whole while. As you two fall into sleep, you take each other's hands and let yourselves be together.

I'm sorry these were so short and I hope that these were okay for my first smut post on this blog. Thank you so much for your request anon, I super appreciate your continued support! Have a great Easter weekend all of you, if you celebrate it, and stay tuned for more posts!

Cedric Diggory NSFW Alphabet

Pairing: Cedric Diggory x Fem! Reader

A/N: I’m gonna be working on more headcannon stuff like this, so follow me if you want to see them when they are posted!

WARNINGS: SMUT, ORAL SEX (F RECIEVING), MENTIONS OF PUBLIC SEX, 18+ ONLY

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

I think Ced won’t hesitate to clean his partner up. Just a warm rag and quick wipe. Sometimes Ced will pass out as soon as he hits the mattress, but most times he’ll hold his naked body to yours and talk until you fall asleep.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His favorite part of your body is your lips, for sure. He loves to watch them wrap around things, even when you put his finger into your mouth it drives him mental. His favorite part of himself is hands, he has fairly large hands so everything in them looks small. He loves that when he holds your waist its like his hands were meant to be there. Not to mention his long fingers, one hand can do so many wonders.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

I honestly don’t see him as someone who loves anything to do with cum. He would be more than happy to wear a condom while you’re dating, because that way he can make sure you enjoy it without the worries of unprotected sex. I also can see him not wanting to go raw because so many things could go wrong, but if you’re on birth control he will definitely be persuaded to pull out. Once he pulls out the first time he is utterly hooked and loves cumming on your stomach while you lay there on your back, looking all fucked out.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Not to say that Cedric secretly wants to explore public sex, however I am saying every time you two go out hes thinking of railing you in an alley against a brick wall. He loves public affection in a sfw way so I think he would be eager to explore nsfw public stuff. Now this all being said, he doesn’t ask you for a long time though, until you’re walking home from the shops and he starts to kiss you because god you look so gorgeous in the soft lighting, and then the kiss gets more intense. Then, he basically says fuck it and asks you if he can eat you out on the wall.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Like I said in Cedrics headcannon post, I doubt he lost his virginity with anyone other than Cho when they were maddly in love. When he meets you he wants to be nothing less than perfect. When things started to get serious in your relationship he swallowed his pride and looked up sex tips because he was worried he wasn’t experienced enough.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Cowgirl. No doubt about it. He loves how accessible it is for you, he can rub your clit, he can be chest to chest and thrust into you, he can be hypnotized by your perfect tits, it has everything.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Theres times where he kills the moment because he makes a joke in between thrusts, but more often than not hes got his head in the game. It will always start of playful and innocent with Cedric, but as soon as hands start roaming, he gets focused on the task at hand.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

He isn’t shaven, but tidy for sure. Just a nice little bit at the base and he’s groomed.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Cedric loves nothing more than to brush the hair out of your face and stare into your eyes while your blissed out. Also he loves kissing and touching even before clothes come off.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

I can see Cedric having a pretty high sex drive and sometimes you have to tap out for the night because your body can only take so much, so he’ll for sure be rubbing one out in the bathroom as soon as you fall asleep. He doesn’t mind of course, he’d rather you be comfortable even if that means he has to jerk off in the shower to the memory of twenty minutes prior.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

I thoroughly believe that Cedric Diggory has a praise kink. He loves nothing more than growling “So fucking perfect, my perfect fucking girl” into your ear during sex. I also think he has a roleplay kink, because you dressed up as a nurse for halloween and he was in another dimension.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

As I said previously, Cedric likes the idea of walls. However, I think he much prefers the bed or floor of your room. It just feels like you two are the only ones in the world and he cant deny how much of an angel you look like while surrounded by his soft white sheets. He would settle for a car, but your home is much better.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Kissing is his number one movement to start things off, so I think just kissing him would make him ready to go. I can see him having a thing for lip biting, especially when you’re reading or doing some other innocent task.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

If its something you don’t like, he won’t ever do it. He draws the line at bodily injury and excretory body fluids, Cedrics not hardcore like that. Wouldn’t mind choking you but he could never slap you or hurt you in any other way.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Cedric prefers giving, he feels bad because he takes so long to finish so he always leaves it up to you. He is an absolute got at eating coochie though, he pays attention to what you do and don’t like. And he would honestly eat you out anywhere. Like sometimes he just drops to his knees and hikes your leg up. His eyes when he looks up at you tho....fuck.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Definitely depends on the moment but I think most of the time he’s sensual and slow. He wants the world to stop and for it to only be your bodies moving in sync with each other, and especially so he can look into your eyes while he gets you closer and closer to orgasm.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Loves the whole rose petal romantic 2 hour long sex thing but will rip off your underwear in a closet to eat you out if he can.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

He only takes risks by asking about something. He would always get your consent before anything else happens, so he knows worst you could do is say no. That being said, if you ask him 97% of the time he’s on board. Public sex took some convincing but he was in love with it.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

I just think he’s ready to eat pussy 24/7 despite how hard he is. He’s horny all the time (in spirit if not physically) so I think he would go for multiple rounds. Though he will eventually get tired in one position, so you end up switching through 50 different positions in the span of the hour.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

The only toys Cedric uses on his partner are handcuffs at most. He prefers to use his skill because after all, he’s the one who should be making you feel that good.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Cedric isn’t the tease, you are. He wants you but simply can’t take you from behind during potions class, so he rests his hand on your thigh. He secretly loves how cocky you get, and secretly you love how turned on he is from your legs.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Listen to me: breathy moans. He’ll get so close to your ear and start whisper-moaning the most risque words. But, volume wise he’s quiet and he prefers it that way. He never wants to drown out the pretty mewls you make because of his fingers and cock.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He eats pussy that way iykyk. I’m glad every fic writer agrees that Ced is a pussy conesiour, because he loves grabbing your hips and pulling you down closer on his tongue, thats non negotiable. He probably has the strongest tongue in the world.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

He thought he was small until he met you and was like “Sorry, I’m not that impressive 😔” then pulled out 6 inches of cervix shattering dick. Its thick too, but not like the porn-type thick, like it fits in your hand comfortably and fills you up perfectly.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Like I said: Always horny. Every time he watches you bite your lip he’s got a million things he wants to do to you in a broom closet.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He would rather watch you fall asleep even if that meant he never slept. But once he knows you’re sleeping, he wraps his body around yours with his chin on your shoulder and falls asleep. Prefect rooms= naked naps.

No need to respond to this, but I can't wait to see/hear your thoughts on 5.14. We were fed so well this episode, I can't quite believe it. Take your time of course, but your meta is always *chef's kiss*. Take care! =)

Hi, darling! Thank you SO MUCH! I agree with you, we were def fed SO WELL during 514, and it’s so interesting because no matter what’s said in interviews, this is what the show keeps doing in the one place that counts, on our screens. Awwwww, seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words, I hope you saw and enjoyed my 514 meta! You’re wonderful and I hope you’re doing well, having the best of days! xoxox

And I hope it’s okay that, because I’m trying to catch up, I’ll add two more nice asks to this post -

Thank you for answering my ask about the phone cases etc. And in such detail! As I said before, you are such a lovely and kind person and you are a treasure for the Buddie fandom. Always looking forward to reading stuff from you. All the best!

Hi Nonnie! OMG, you’re too kind! It was my absolute pleasure, I had so much fun looking at the phone cases and doing a bit of research on past appearances and what does it all mean. I’m so glad you enjoyed the result! (I have to admit, I also enjoyed making edits for that post, our boys are just all gorgeous and make everything so much prettier!) I am honestly so grateful for your lovely words, I’m not sure how to explain it, just know my fandom experience is ten thousand times better thanks to this! All the best to you too, lovely! xoxox

Of course Buck knew the assignment. It's such a call back to him not trying hard to beat Eddie in video game therapy. My man has no problem being goofy to make his boys feel good and Iove that for them all. Seriously no women or man can come along and compete with what they already have. Buck ease wake up to you not needing this women.

And listen. I live in So Cal, rent is so expensive I'm sure they would have been roommates years ago just to have more room and save money. If anything else make them pragmatic roommates by the end of 5 for me please writers!!!! These 2 do not need LIs if its not each other. I rest my case

Hi Nonnie! This is so true and I suspect it’s also why Buck accepts a lot of Eddie’s teasing without a comeback, he just knows how much love they have for each other, so if the teasing makes Eddie happy, Buck’s happy with it too, he has no toxic masculinity ideas compelling him to one up Eddie on this. And I agree with you so much, no one, def not an external Love Interest, could ever compare to what Buddie have together. A proper partnership and family with their own kid they’re co-parenting. It’s beautiful and it makes my heart melt! And I’m with you, I’ve heard about the rent in So Cal, but especially after what we saw in 514, there’s just no beating around the bush anymore. Those three boys are a family, they literally help each other get through the day, and families like that belong together under one roof. IDC how Tim makes it happen, he just needs to get to it already! Thank you so much for sharing this, hon, it made me smile so wide! Hope you’re having a great day, too! xoxox

(I got an influx of asks, I WILL answer all of them, but it might take a sec. If anyone wants to check whether I've already answered theirs or to read my replies, here's my ask tag. Thank you! xoxox)

🚃Ticket back to Life🚃

(All that matters in Titans s3 ep 9)

There is so much to talk about, so without further ado, lets get into it!

The episode begins with a seemingly defeated Bruce scanning over his will for a few seconds - hinting at the fact that he will harm himself or is planning to soon move on to the “other side.”

At this moment I had crinkled my bag of Doritos, placed them in the crack of my lap and sat in silence for a few seconds. My mind was working overtime to try and piece together just what the hell was going on. These were my initial thoughts: I would like to sincerely apologize to Dick Grayson and Jason Todd for ever having to put up with Bruce Wayne’s crazy ass. The man is coo coo, he’s unhinged! He’s deranged!

However, upon further evaluation of the scene, I came to the realization that this was simply Bruce’s call for help. He had lived his entire life by attempting to mask his pain, using anything in the book to deter his emotions. Until one day, he ultimately settled on taking in kids who he presumed had developed under similar circumstances.

What Bruce failed to realize is that playing the role of a parent is an upmost emotionally draining task - just ask my mother… By raising his own kids with a shit ton of baggage he would also be signing up to mountain theirs atop his own, crafting an incredibly unstable terrain that would inevitably come crashing down.

Now we know where Dick and Jason get their compartmentalism from.

Moving on to my girl Rachel in Themiscyra! You know things are pretty bad when Rachel starts to complain about training too much, seeing as that was all she ever did over at Titans tower.

However, it seems that her hard work has paid off as she has awakened a heightened sense of urgency in her movements - her coordination skills have also improved significantly, as shown below.

Such a badass scene! ☀️

Upon their very first introduction, it is safe to say that Donna establishes an instant connection with the terrified kid who jumped from the train - Tim Drake. It could be the gravitational pull and familiarity with his fear that peaked her interest because of how similar it was to her own, or she could’ve just wanted to make sure that he was okay. And I am willing to bet on ALL OF IT.

Secondly can we all just take a minute to celebrate Donna’s long awaited return! I have never been more excited for the revival of a character. Now Kory can finally have some grown up friends 🥂

After Tim and Donna linger for a-bit in the woods, they meet up with none other than Hank himself. Of course he would be the one to appear out in the middle of nowhere, in an old fashioned car after his death. I wouldn’t have accepted it any other way.

I also have to admit that I was pretty psyched to see Hank again. Do not quote me on this, but a tiny piece of me had missed his annoyingly snarky ass.

Was anyone else feeling some serious 21 jump street vibes from this lttle road trip scene? No… just me? Okay.

Once they’re all familiar with one another Hank begins to take a subtle interest in Tim. As my senses began tingling once more, the pieces had somehow found their way together. Despite the tough ass persona he displayed for the other members of the Titans, Hank has always had a soft spot for kids. Which would also explain why he was killed by Jason in the first place - because he thought he could save Jason from himself. A part of him still feels like an idiot for falling for the false vulnerability that was expressed by Jason on the phone that day.

And no I wasn’t crying at Hank’s farewell, you were 🥲

I was disappointed at first after treading on the idea that they would all return back together. But after viewing Hank’s reunion with his brother, I think it’s safe to say that I’m pretty glad that he decided not to miss out on that drastic part in his journey. Plus who knows, maybe another portal will open again after a few years and they’ll both be back to kick some ass. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Below is another example of Donna’s rocky, yet emotional connection between herself and Tim. And I say rocky because it doesn’t seem that she even realizes it herself, but she loves my little Tim baby!

Tim just has a way of interacting with folks that evokes a sense of urgency to protect him. I also believe that it must be fate that is drawing them all towards each other, especially when taking into account that Tim has practically met almost every member of the Titans dead or alive - by accident.

As you can see below, a teary eyed Donna watches as young Tim fades away into obscurity from her very own finger tips.

And as his body slowly disintegrates she makes it her mission to assure him that he is fact not a coward and that above everything else, he is a hero in her eyes. Now if that doesn’t get the waterworks flowing, I don’t know what will.

————————————

A recurring theme that I’ve noticed throughout the past three episodes is the current writers obsession with fire.

Fire = destruction. 🔥

Even as Bruce set a flame to Wayne’s manor he intended to destroy not only his home, but as well as himself along with it. Could fire represent what is to come in the near future for the Titans? Or am I sipping too much gatorade? I guess we’ll have to wait and see folks. Until next time! ✨😙💜

Okay, I asked you a while back for some fic recs and I am in need of more. Have you read any Gina x Ricky lately? Would love for you to share the ones you've loved

Hey!

I’m so glad you liked my rec the last time, there have been alot of fics that have been written since you last asked so this list was super hard to limit. There are alot in this list alone (17 overall I think). I could always recommend more, Rina writers are just so talented. So here's a list of some of my favorites <3

The Story of Us by peculiarblue

‘gina learns that sometimes things have to fall apart so that they can fall back together, right where they were always meant to be’ This is a complete 2 part chapter fic

Thee Rina bible. It’s everything we could ever want and need. Everything we want s2 to be and more. It’s an absolute masterpiece in every way. So many parts where I nearly died, the angst in the fight scene, the tension before they made up (the dress scene that reminded me so much of that amylaurie scene I lost my mind a little more), them being absolutely gone for each other!!! it’s just perfect in every way.

When Your With Me and Were Alone by orphan account

‘Ricky Bowen remembers everything.’ This is a one-shot three-part completed series.

My favorite series, it’s gotta be. It’s the first of its kind for rina fics. Lore does an incredible job of realistically writing rina’s characterization and reactions to Gina moving and what would happen after. A wonderfully talented writer, utilizing the power of her words while minimalist carries an effect.

You Know Me Better by This_is_Riri

‘Gina was moving. This would be her sixth move in seven years. She was used to it by now...only this time, it felt different. Post episode 7.’ This is an incomplete multichapter fic.

This one really gets you at your gut. Heart-wrenching for both characters but mainly gina. The vents that happen to both characters, it just makes sense that so much more than their vunerabilities bonds them together. Perfect execution of the mutual understanding trope.

and I know I’ve kissed you before by ptrprkrs

‘but I didn’t do it right / can i try again, try again, try again? or: 5 times ricky kisses gina + 1 time she kisses back’ This is a complete one-shot.

I love a good five times plus one fic. This one is heartwarming, cheeky and cute. It gives a healthy balance of the inevitable anguish that comes with pining (and not just for the character but for frustrated readers that just wanna put these kids together already) but also the sweet innocence and fluff from first love (or first love adjacent).

what love might have done by rradioh

‘Ricky follows his gut. Everything changes. Some things stay the same.’ This is a completed one shot.

A good look into what could've been for season one. Reflecting moments that felt like they could’ve easily been placed in the show and showed the subtly of the growth of rinas relationship. It wasn’t something that was thrown into our faces but came gradually and this fic facilitates that growth with key moments that add to that. A Great one-shot.

And the 7th Thing I Hate The Most That You Do (You Make Me Love You) by iknowpIaces

‘It doesn’t help that he really does look good in his costume. God, she hates him. She hates him. She hates him. Then, he has the nerve to smile at her. And Gina hates how that smile alone sends her over the moon.’ This is a completed one shot.

SOOOO GOOD. No one understands, I love the trope where one person has a crush on the other and it's unrequited (or it seems that way) but eventually it's apparent that they're also just as gone for that person as soon as they start moving on, or feeling fine with having their feelings not reciprocated. Then they're both just mutual pining messes, ugh I love it. This fic handles the trope with care and rina just comes together organically.

lesson in love by finelineholland

“Give me 4 weeks. I’ll help you out. Like… a crash course, if you will. 'How to be the perfect boyfriend for Nini Salazar-Roberts': A class taught by yours truly.” This is an incomplete multichapter fic.

A rom-com in the form of a fic. It’s so true to Ricky and Gina as characters and their dynamic. The writing is really good and gives so much in terms of plot. I really hope it updates soon because I love a good makeover/transformation fic, it gives she’s all that and geek charming in the best ways.

take me to the feeling by peculiarblue

‘gina meets a stranger at a party she doesn't want to be at, and let's herself fall in love for the night, wherever it takes them’ This is a completed one shot.

Katie does it again. Another classic that makes us fall for rina while they fall for each other under the stars. You can’t help but feel something for them right off the bat because theirs something about the cheekiness of the dynamic and so real. You can’t help but fall for them, a must read.

The Last Time by mytearsricochet

‘this is the one where gina meets ricky and nothing is against them. except for a few misunderstandings, forgotten birthdays, wrong people, and missed opportunities. because as much as love doesn’t care about time, this is the one where time cares about love. and with time, everything falls into place.’ This is a completed one shot.

SO UNBELIAVBLEY UNDERRATED. This fic is too excellent, it's everything rinas could want. it’s an incredibly well done long slowburn that makes you strap in for the ride. With all those teasing moments where they're mutually pining and they're just on the precipice of finding out their feelings for one another only to hold back and stay friends (until the end of course). The end makes you work for it, but so worth it when you get to it.

10 Days in “Love” by kindredspiritsxo

‘It was almost the end of high school and nobody had it figured out. Especially Ricky Bowen. His parents had recently divorced, he had no idea what he's doing for college, his longtime girlfriend dumped him the month before and now he's been replaced by one of the most popular guys in school.

To make matters worse, he leaves for Europe in two days for his senior trip. The same senior trip that said ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend were going on. So, Ricky did what any desperate teenage boy would do to try and get his girlfriend back: he devised a plan. A plan that included the help of Gina Porter and playing pretend for 10 days.’ This is an incomplete multichapter fic.

I love a good traveling fic. Sometimes all it takes to get a character to wake up about things going on in their lives or feelings for character b is a good change of scenery. This fic does a great job of utilizing the enviornment to facilitate rinas love story through one of my favorite tropes, the fake dating trope. There's some angst along the way because nothing can ever come easy but it's not without its reward. It gives me major spiderman far from home vibes just solely because of petermjs adorableness and how that energy kinda translates to rina in this fic more so in the beginning before they have this repertoire.

on the line by peculiarblue

‘with everything in her life finally at a stand still for once the last thing gina needs is one curly haired skater to come in and give her a reason to change again

(or, gina lets ricky back into her life the only way she knows how, at a distance, through daily voicemails, until her heart remembers why she can't love him anymore.)’ This is a completed one shot.

It hurts in the best way possible! that is the best way to describe this fic. Were taken on a journey where I personally wanted rina to just talk to each other in person but the magic was all in the voicemails and the power of their connection. There was a satisfying ending, I couldn't ask for more. If you haven’t read literally everything written by Katie go read it, it won't disappoint.

but everywhere just brings me back to you by ptrprkrs

‘or, ricky is just a little in love with the voice of the girl at the starbucks drive-thru’ This is a completed one shot.

An amazing fic that hits every spot effortlessly, even the ones you didn’t know you had. Like Ricky being a lovesick puppy going to a drive-thru just to hear Gina’s voice for coffee, he doesn’t drink or like. All the while they’d been connected all along. I’m a sucker for any kind of soulmate implications or stories where people are unknowingly connected like that so this ones a real favorite for me. It’s sweet, lighthearted and funny and a great read.

About Love by goldenthread

‘a series of Interconnected one shots and canonical aus for Ricky and Gina <3.’ This is an incomplete multichapter fic.

Here's where I enter some shameless self-promo...I wrote this recently. It’s just some loosely connected one-shots I have of rina based on canon. I write about an alternate first meeting, what would've happened if Gina had to understudy Nini in a rehearsal and (for a future chapter) a babysitting au (for what happened when Gina actually told Ricky the truth, she was babysitting her neighbor's kid when she talked to him at the skatepark). Check it out if it sounds like your thing!

in your eyes by finelineholland

‘you always try to hide the pain, you always know just what to say. i always look the other way. i'm blind, i'm blind. in you eyes, you lie, but i don't let it define you.’ This is an incomplete multichapter fic.

There is something about Rina being written about from an outside perspective that is just so excellent. The story starting with Nini noting the obvious chemistry and their connection and being threatened by it, I don’t know it's just so pleasing to me. Another fic like that one of my favorites (one that I’m pretty sure I’ve suggested in my other rec list), pretend i don’t see it in your eyes by spobylol. Another absolutely excellent read that does not miss once. This story in contrast also writes from rina’s perspective as well which I also thought was well done.

right from the start I knew by anonymous

‘“Uh.” Ricky really didn’t think this far ahead. To be fair, it’s not like he’s ever thought ahead about anything ever in his life, so this is really to be expected. “We - forget about it? Maybe. Or like - I don’t know. I think I have to figure out how to be like - a person right now. By myself.”

“Same.” Gina says absently. “I’ve spent what feels like my whole life thinking about what other people think of me. It’d be nice to - to be able to try looking beyond that for a change.”

Post-Season 1. Ricky and Nini break up, but that doesn't mean things work out right away.’ This is a completed one shot.

The most iconic love confession I’ve read in a rina fic to date. it’s just so good, a certified rush every single time. The mutual pining hits spectacularly especially when you see just how soon it starts to hit Ricky that he’d made a mistake getting with Nini and him paying for that mistake. The writing only amplifies it. Also Ricky telling Gina he’s obsessed with her? yeah, I automatically added this fic to my list of faves.

If they only knew by goldenthread

‘Ricky Bowen never really bought into the whole soulmate thing (except he did) but life got in the way and now he's sort of pretending to date new (totally not intimidating) girl Gina Porter to win back the one and only Nini Salazar Roberts. Not a single thing could go wrong.

The one where Ricky and Gina aren't so good at the whole soulmate thing and they fake date.’ This is an incomplete multichapter fic.

More shameless self promo, sorry y’all but I’m super proud of this one. It’s a soulmate and fake dating au, combining two of my fave tropes into one to make this (surprisingly) long fic. It’s a whirlwind of emotions and a lot of moving parts in the story. I plan on updating within two months then after that there's three more chapters until its finished :) hope y’all enjoy it if you decide to give it a read!

you are the best thing & the worst thing (that’s happened to me this whole year) by tophsgf

‘Gina's roommate Nini is unbearable. What's more unbearable, however? Her very charismatic and totally off-limits sort-of boyfriend.’ This is a completed one shot.

An amazing fic, I need more people to know about it! I really like fics where the development between Ricky and Gina is gradual, which seems to be the case for a lot of fics but for this one in particular I like its execution. Obviously, at first, he’s with Nini so it’s like the dynamic is at a point of comparison from the start but we quickly learn that thanks to good ole mutual understanding and overall compatibility Ricky and Gina are just right for each other. A fun read that hits all the bases.

Your thoughts on the epi? And the trailers? I'm loving the in love Edser! We've waited so long for this!!!

This episode was so fun and fluffy! I don't know about you, but I am enjoying the tone during this second season. A lot. I don't care how stupid the audition process was for the spot in the school, it gave us some very good comedy and a lot of USTy, sexy, flirty goodness.

And like you, I also love in love Edser!

Thankfully this episode was dominated by Edser, and with Kiraz at Granny's house we even got some alone time. The supporting characters were used to good effect this episode, Engin and Piril were the funniest they've ever been, Kerem and Pina served to poke Serkan about his mentoring style, and it was actually nice to have an excuse for Ayfer and Aydan to share a storyline again.

(more under the cut)

However, we'll start with Burak and Melo. UGH. I mean I love Melo and Elcin has done a really good job of showing Melo's heartbreak and trying to hide her melancholy behind her usual bubbly personality, but I really can't stand that it's over such a dud of a character. I know I'm a broken record here but Melo deserves better than this fool. Honestly, he's such a bland sad sack I don't really get why Melo loves him, Eda wants to be friends with him and Ayfer thinks he's so great she wants him for a nephew-in-law. Well, for Ayfer the only qualification is that he's not Serkan, so never mind that question.

However, maybe there's some hope? Before this episode it seemed certain they were heading in a romance direction, but the way he told her she was like a sister to him? Is there really any coming back from him saying that after he remembered kissing her? On the other hand we're barreling towards the end here and there's not really enough time to introduce anyone new for Melo (and no indication from spoilers that they have) and I'm pretty sure Ayse and the writers want to give her a romantic happy ending (although I'd be fine if they didn't and instead had her go off and do something entirely for herself like go back to school or travel or open a shop). So we'll see, because even with the sister line they left some room open because Kerem was the one who suggested he say that (it wasn't necessarily his own idea) and with Melo he seemed to be coming from a place where he assumed he had forced himself on her and she was angry because she didn't want it. Which we know is not true, so might be a misunderstanding that leads to something more. Anyway, I guess we'll just have to endure whichever way they go.

Personally, I like the Serkan-Kemal father storyline. I think it's a good way to add a bit of drama in the waning episodes, gives Serkan a bit of an identity crisis, interestingly mirrors his own situation with Kiraz, and it just makes sense with everything we know of the characters. Because were we seriously supposed to believe that someone as sniveling as Alptelkin sired Serkan? I mean Serkan is the epitome of BDE, he has an inherent charismatic and commanding presence. Sorry to the actor who played Alptekin, but he didn't really have any kind of presence, however Sinan who plays Kemal, does. They've done a great job of casting, because it just feels true. I believe Kemal and Serkan share genetics.

However, even before that storyline starts in earnest, it's interesting that Serkan was being a big baby, not wanting his mom with a man she clearly loves. I wish Eda would have pushed back at him a little more when he was going off that Aydan shouldn't pursue love at her age! Does he think he'll be out of love with Eda by the time he's in his 50s and 60s? Of course not! I'm guessing Eda, though, is just letting him blow off some steam and come to accept the relationship on his own terms. Don't get me wrong, though, after all the meddling Aydan's done with Edser, she more than deserves to have Serkan's opinion of Kemal negatively impact her!

Loved that Kiraz and Can found out first that Kemal is Serkan's father! Cat is out of the bag, Aydan, you can't make a deal with a 5 year old, lmao. It put a nice ticking clock on the whole thing and gave us some good comedic moments where Kiraz is speaking the truth and everyone thinks she's just really fond of the dude. Hee.

Also I enjoyed the Aydan and Ayfer moments. To be honest, I also used to enjoy their true friendship moments when we got them, like when Kemal first appeared and Aydan was freaking out and needed Ayfer and Seyfi around her, and when they were trying to hunt down Deniz after the fake wedding turned real. After so much animosity, it was nice that Ayfer recognized that Aydan was truly in distress and needed a friend and they were able to actually talk. Also we got some (mildly) funny comedy with the two of them and the school lady. Speaking of Ayfer, thankfully she finally realized some consequences to her actions in pushing Burak at Eda. She hurt Melo! Glad she finally opened her eyes to see what should have been obvious to her (Eda never saw him that way, and Melo obviously did) and apologized to Melo. I'd like it if she would apologize to Eda as well, (and Burak deserves an apology as well because she most definitely gave him false hope) but since Eda wasn't influenced by her we probably won't see that.

Switching to Eda and Serkan this episode gave us lots of good stuff. This was a great episode for showing us where each of them stood. Eda is terrified of getting hurt and trying to hold him at arm's length even while he clearly is inching back into her heart, and Serkan is dreaming of their future together, and taking every opportunity to tie them together. How much did I love Serkan admitting he was poking at Eda, and doig things to make her angry, just so she would talk to him? Interesting that he's doing it and love that he's being honest and admitting it to her. One of my favorite relationship dynamics between them is around "talking." In the very beginning Serkan did a lot of complaining about how much Eda talked and how she never shut up, but starting around episode 18 all he wanted was for Eda to talk to him. And this is just more of that. The thing he wants most is to talk to her.

Plus watching domestic Edser is just so much fun, I could watch their full grocery shopping trip in real time and be perfectly happy, lol. At the age of 35 it's time that Serkan learn how to do a few things for himself, I don't care how rich he is, so it's nice that we see him evolving a bit as he embraces the dad role.

The jealousy gambits, even as mild as they are, are getting pretty eye roll worthy since Eda and Serkan are living together, care so much, and obviously are still so hot for one another. It's a bit more understandable from Serkan since Eda is the one creating the barrier between them, but are we really supposed to believe that Eda is jealous of Deniz when Serkan is so obviously in love with Eda and planning their future together? Especially when he clearly can't stand Deniz and tries so hard to avoid her? I suppose it's to show us that Eda is in a jumbled state, her head is trying to keep space with Serkan, while her heart wants him badly and is scared he's going to take her rejections seriously. Even so it was quite irrational for her to get angry at Serkan for having lunch with Deniz when she ordered him to leave with her. Poor Eda is in emotional turmoil.

It was hard to tell with shaky translations, but I guess Serkan claimed to have been injured while rescuing Eda and that's how he talked his way into her bed? Impressively done, Serkan. Love it because it meant we all got to wake up to snuggly family, snuggling together. This gave us another glimpse into Eda's psyche, she wakes up first, and is clearly enjoying it and feeling at home in his arms, until the sleep clears enough and her head realizes she's not supposed to be enjoying it. But once again Kiraz knows how to handle her parents and their complicated relationship beautifully and fixes everything with a pillow fight. That is one smart cookie.

One of my favorite moments of the episode is when Eda is trying to convince Serkan to go to Aydan about the school. Eda knows that her big eyes still work on him, and they did. He still can't say no to her, another one of my favorite relationship dynamics of theirs. I'm super glad some things never change. Speaking of their visit to Aydan's, how great that they went to meet the horse without a name as a family, and then Serkan finally came up with the perfect name. Definitely a star.

Love, love, love that Serkan and Eda beat Engin and Piril when it came to the 'how well do you know your spouse' game. They may have been separated for 5 years, but they both have a genuine interest in the other, so they remember things, and they always made a much more compatible couple than Engin/Piril who have absolutely nothing in common. Of course I adored all the fake married hijinx this gave us, not to mention all the opportunities for Serkan to touch, kiss, and hold her. SO MUCH UST!

The heart-to-heart on the bench was well done and it finally gave us Eda opening up and telling him what's been holding her back. She's scared. Of course she is, the poor thing. Serkan might have thought he was doing it for her own good both times, but he ripped her heart out twice (not even counting all the heart ripping he did during amnesia) how could she not have fears? Of course she's afraid! Whenever she lets herself love him and be loved by him, it's ripped away horribly, and often in ways that feels like it's him doing the ripping. She can take into consideration the circumstances, which she has or else he wouldn't be anywhere near her, and still need time to be sure she's not just setting herself up to get emotionally demolished again.

For Serkan's part all he can do is keep being there, being honest with her, and showing he's in it for the long haul, which I think he's doing and which is why they are where they are at the end of this episode.

Engin and Piril's dance practice is probably the first Engin/Piril alone scene that I thought was genuinely funny and fully enjoyable. I can't think of another... message me if you think there is one, lol. Elsewhere, I saw some folks saying that Engin and Piril should have won the dance competition, because they actually danced, and Eda and Serkan didn't. LOL, you think? I'm pretty sure that was the point. That Eda and Serkan didn't really dance, all they did was get up there and turn their sexual tension and intense smoldering towards one another up to eleventy and won because it's that powerful.

It's sort of a metaphor for this whole series. Sen Cal Kapimi is 100% powered by their chemistry. Of course they can win any competition by just pressing their bodies against one another! They can turn a ditzy Turkish summer romcom that probably should have gone 13 eps into an international hit that's going on 50 episodes, just by looking at one another.

I'm glad that the school officials overheard their conversations and dismissed them, any organization that requires this of the parents, is going to be a lifelong pain-in-the ass, lmao. Also it was good to see Edser and EnPir make up by the end.

Now, on to that ending. I'm glad the subject of the tatoos was brought up, interesting that Eda kept hers until a few months ago. Also interesting that she moved it... can't blame Serkan for wanting to see it. Was that one great seduction line, or what?

I join with everyone who thinks it was a slightly awkward place to leave the episode. We only have 13 (probably) episodes this season, and we've only had one kiss so far. That was definitely a moment for a kiss. Part of me thinks they were going for the cliffhanger, what will Eda do? Will she kiss him or slam the door in his face? Tune in next week to find out! Except that audiences have to wait no time at all for the fragman and that makes any such cliffhanger moot. So what's the point? Have her pull him in, kiss him, and the show can end with them passionately making out and the door slamming with the camera outside the house.

Oh well, it is what it is, and we can only hope they pick up next week right where they left off. As for the fragman, obviously they are fully back together for this episode which means she lets him in to hunt for her tattoo. (please oh please give us that internet ozel because I don't think I can stand being online in this fandom if they don't. Thankfully I'm traveling next week and will be too busy to spend much time on twitter.)

As I said in another ask, I'm not surprised Serkan is barreling them straight towards marriage. When you know, you know, so why wait? Once they emotionally commit to one another, they need to just get married. No waiting for psychos to interfere, family to meddle, or tragedy to strike!

Seriously can't wait for a full episode of them together and Serkan figuring out how to propose. I'm also looking forward to the Kemal/Serkan stuff, it will be interesting to see how he reacts once the news sets in... should be a great episode!

Hey JB.

How’s it going? Mom said you’re coming home soon, and that you’re doing better. Happy early 18th. I guess it really is true what they say – they grow up so fast.

I miss you. I know you probably don’t want to hear it, but I’ve been worried about you. We all have. It’s not your fault, I just mean that we’re glad to see you doing okay.

I want you to know that

I was going to try to do the whole small-talk thing, but to be honest with you, I’m not sure where to start.

How’s the weather out there?

Guess I could just look it up.

Google says 34 and sunny. I hope you’re staying warm.

Can’t really ask about music, or TV, or movies, since Mom said you’ve basically been unplugged for a year.

What are you most looking forward to about coming home?

Maybe it’s cheesy, but as your big brother, I’m contractually obligated to say this: I’m proud of you. Seriously. You’re way cooler than I was at your age. I know you said you feel like you’re coming out late, but hey – you figured things out earlier than I did.

Everyone here has been cool about it – and actually, I saw on Facebook the other day that Ethel Muggs (a friend from high school) is non-binary too. (By the way, Sweet Pea – do you remember him? Turns out he’s bi; he and Fangs have been dating for like 9 months now).

Mom is a surprisingly good PFLAG parent. The other day, she said “now our family can check off every letter in LGBT.” Another piece of information that I had to learn (so now you do, too): apparently she and Alice Cooper have a history. I kind of saw it coming, but still. Good for them, I guess?

I wish Dad was here to see you. I know I was nervous about it when I first came out to him, but he’s changed a lot. For real. He’d be really proud of you.

By the way, finally found a publisher for my book. It’s in stores now; I’m actually not doing too bad. I tried to send you a copy, but they returned it because it contained “violent themes.” I get their point, but it seems kinda pointless to censor violent content given what kind of treatment facility you’re in. Sorry, maybe that was too soon.

In other news (or lack thereof), I’m still in New York. I’m doing okay. I’m an adjunct professor, teaching introductory English, mostly, and supposedly working on my second novel.

It’s never gotten this bad before. Every word I write sounds like it hates the surrounding words in its sentence, and each sentence hates the paragraph it’s in, and so on and so forth. My therapist told me to try writing letters, that it might help me communicate my repressed feelings or whateve

Feels more like working on developing a debilitating case of writer’s block.

Honestly, I’m just afraid I might be out of material. Unless you’re really fucked up -- like, record-breaking -- you only get to exploit your childhood trauma for profit once. My first book was about Riverdale, and I pretty much said everything I had to say. I have no idea how to go about finding new material.

Enough about me. Mom said you’ve been writing poetry – I’d love to read it sometime. I could never quite get into the right headspace for poetry, but I really admire people who do. Who are some of your favorite poets? What do you write about?

Speaking of Mom, she’s doing okay, too. Dad’s medical bills put us through a rough patch, to put it lightly, and we’re still kind of picking up the pieces. I guess she’s probably keeping you updated on that when she visits you. I wish they’d allow siblings to visit, too.

Are you still into Pink Floyd? (Or were you, before you went to the center, I mean?) I thought of you the other day when a song of theirs came on the radio – “Wish You Were Here”, I think.
