#i didn't get spotify til i was 17 in college with a job#bc the student plan was cheaper and i finally had money#i had asked my mom for it like once or twice over a few years#but also i felt bad asking for a monthly subscription#so i waited til i could get it myself#well then i lost my student plan but i kept payong for it anyway#and then there was a few months sale for a 2 account plan#and even now that the sale has ended its still cheaper for me to pay for half of the 2 person plan than the whole personal one#so my sister (it was indeed her idea. bc she was getting along perfectly fine being logged into my acc on her phone.#which was a better deal than me using pandora or free spotify or youtube music til i was 17 but)#my sister asked my mom to pay for half of the 2 person plan for her#so now every month. i get a bill from spotify. and i request half of it from my mom#she just asked me if you can pay for the whole year at once#and i said idk man but i dont wanna do that bc i dont have a job rn!!!! im not trying to drop 50 bucks#and she said . she might be willing to pay for all of it . just bc she doesn't like the extra 8 dollars monthly#which. whatever. that would be nice ig#but the way..... i barely wanted to ask and was told no ... and waited til i could pay for it myself... and dealt with the inconvenience#....... for years . and never complained#but now that My Sister. The Youngest. wants a precious spotify account.#my mom will pay for a year for 2 accounts. . for Her#:) alright

Tumblr media
"i think gotham university is actually the worst but it's cheap and gives me the degree without having too many student loans," you said as you stirred your iced coffee. being a senior in college, all the consumed your life was finishing off your last year strong and trying to pay off your debts as soon as you could, "so does that mean you won't be coming to the party?"
you gave your friend an eyeroll, "my love, what kind of 24 year old rolls up to a frat party? no less on a Tuesday night? some of the boys there will probably try to get laid just so they can say they had a night with a cougar," you and your friend instantly started laughing, "but i am willing to go to that bar this weekend!"
just as you started getting up get to refill your coffee, you noticed a man standing in front of you. you knew he was a professor here but you didn't know for which department. you gave him a small smile as a hello and deciding just to pour your coffee without saying much.
you were pouring your ice into your cup and minding your business when you noticed that Dr.Crane dropped his own coffee on the bar. you quickly took out a stack of napkins, instantly helping him clean up. the coffee was searing hot which made you realize that you were burning your hand in the process.
"fuck, that hurts!" you whispered. Dr.Crane immediately pulled your hand back, "here, let me see," he said as he analyzed your now red hand. it was burning and your hand started to bubble up from the heat, "we're going to have ointment on that as soon as possible. you're going to need to come with me."
you were a bit thrown off by how blunt he was being however you knew Dr.Crane was known for being a bit stand offish. he wasn't the kind of professor that everyone got along with or even went to his office to talk too.
he dragged you off to his office, immediately pulling out his emergency aid kit and started the healing process. you sat back, texting your friend to pack your things off and leaving it in front of his office. you didn't say a word as he was murmuring to himself, "this might sting so brace yourself," he whispered.
you instantly shot up in pain, trying not to yell but the pain of the ointment made you grab his arm and squeeze it. he chuckled as you were trying to show that you weren't in pain however it was very evident that your pain tolerance was not that high.
"you did well for someone that just had rubbing alcohol rubbed into an open wound," you gave him a weary smile before he started placing a bandage wrap on your hand, "so, what's your major?" he asked jumping into a completely different conversation.
"early education! I want to be a preschool teacher!" he hummed in interest, "love children?" you shook your head in agreement, "i love teaching them however to have some of my own is not really my gist," he nodded, "that should do it. keep the bandage on until Saturday and after that, you should place some more healing ointment on it but let the wound breathe. you don't need it to get infected."
"thank you so much Dr.Crane," he brushed you off, "it's not your fault. I was the one who dropped coffee on the bar." he helped you up from the chair and opened the door, "what is your name?"
you gave him your name as you shook his hand with your bandaged one, "you're welcomed into my office at any time." that was all he said before walking away into the next hallway. you didn't know what he meant by that but you didn't think too much into it. you grabbed your things and rubbed your bandages as you started to walk away from his office.
+
Saturday night came around as you were getting dressed for the night. you were meeting your friends at a bar not too far from your apartment. you were wearing a tennis skirt and a tank top to battle the heat that was still lingering in Gotham. you knew that you were bound to regret it since the bar all of you wanted to go to was a bit more on the expensive side and probably had the air conditioning cranked all the way up.
you pulled on your shoes and went to meet your friends in front of the bar. as you were waiting for them to arrive, you noticed a couple of men entering. you could have sworn one of them looked like Dr.Drane but you figured that couldn't be Dr.Crane. he didn't seem like the bar attending type.
"hey, isn't that Dr.Crane from the psychology department?" one of you friends said later into the night. you turned around and true to her word, Dr.Crane and two other men were sitting down at the bar, sipping on what looked like whiskey. you could have sworn that he was staring at you but you shook that feeling away, "I think it is. I could've sworn I saw him earlier but didn't think that was actually him."
you wanted to get another drink but suddenly, you felt a bit nervous approaching the bar. you could sense Dr.Cranes very blue eyes now starting to look at you but the urge to get another beer was calling your name.
one of your friends noticed how you were drinking a bit more but as soon as she saw the professor staring at you, it all connected.
"oh, you're scoring high, aren't you?" she asked laughing. you shook your head no, "that's a professor at the university I attend. I might a bit desperate but not that desperate."
"what are the chances that Crane has the hots for you,-" "very likely as he is coming over here with two glasses of wine in his hand."
your eyes widened, not knowing what to do. you admittedly tried to fix your hair as he approached your table, "I figured it'd be polite to bring you a glass of wine before I whisked you away from your friends," he said handing it over to you, "I just wanted to ask how your hand healed."
your friends instantly moved away from the table, "if I remember telling you correctly, you could have removed the bandage today," he stated. you chuckled awkwardly, "uh, I got scared and figured I'd have a friend help me in case I needed it rebandaged. he's a pre-med student so I knew I could trust him."
"scared? of a little burn? come on, let me help you."
you didn't say a thing and let him take the lead. he grabbed your hand and unwrapped it, sensing that your hand was shaking a bit. he examined the now healed wound. a burn mark that he was sure was going to scar but other than that, nothing to be concerned of.
"ah, as I suspected. not much besides scarring. once you get home, apply more healing ointment," you nodded in agreement, "thank you Dr.Crane," he chuckled lowly, "i'm not at work, please call me Jonathan."
"thank you a lot Jonathan-," "come sit with my friends and I."
you wanted to protest but you didn't see your friends in the same spot anymore. they had all wandered off with men they saw to hang out with for the night. you swore to yourself that you'd end up punching them for leaving you alone with Jonathan for the night.
"oh, of course. I hope I'm not intruding," you whispered. Jonathan shook his head, "not at all." you walked up to his friends who seemed to be whispering to each other until you walked up.
"this is my lovely companion ( your name). ( your name ), these are my partners who work alongside me at Arkham. Jervis Tetch and Edward Nashton."
you gave them a smile and shook their hands, "it's a pleasure," you said. Jervis placed a kiss on the back of your hand, "no, pleasure is all mine," he said.
Jonathan raised an eyebrow as his friend indicating to back off. you sat next to Jonathan as the three talked about various different things. you didn't care to speak up as the wine you were drinking was enough enjoyment.
"so, you attend Gotham University? what is your degree in?" Edward suddenly asked you. you perked up a bit, "oh! early childhood education. intending to be a preschool teacher!"
"interesting, developing the minds of young children, how sweet," he replied. you nodded as you didn't catch the wink that Edward sent Jonathan's way, "yeah! it's fun being around all of them and being able to teach them the fundamentals of life!"
you got up, excusing yourself to get another glass of wine as the three men all watched you leave.
"I understand why she became of interest. pretty little thing, isn't she?" Jervis asked. Jonathan agreed, "with a little help from Jervis, I'm sure she'll be a great help with all of our plans."
Jonathan needed a partner. not so much of romance, although he didn't mind if that's how it worked out with you, but with someone who could help him get Gotham under his ruling. there were certain characteristics that intrigued him about you and after doing extensive research on you, he knew you'd be the perfect one.
you were dancing to the music that was playing in the bar as you awaited your wine. he went up to you as the lights dimmed down and the music got louder.
"no one is here to watch us dance with the lights now being lowered. mind?" now with the buzz of the alcohol in your system, you agreed and followed him to the floor. you were dancing against him as he remained as stiff as a board.
you didn't seem to care as he knew that him acting out a bit ridiculously was only temporary. through his research, he knew you were a party girl in your early 20s. your social medias didn't hide it and the photos you were tagged in seemed like you had a bit of a promiscuous side to you as well.
"you're a gorgeous girl, how come your out here without a partner," you shrugged in response, "romance never seemed to find me." he chuckled as bent down to your ear, "even though it is against policy that professors have any kind relationship with a pupil, I did see that you are in your last year."
you nodded in agreement as he noticed that your eyes had gotten lowered due to the alcohol, "so does that mean you want to see me after this?" he hummed in agreement, "way more than you realize." you giggled cutely as you turned around and faced him.
his glasses were fogged due to how warm the bar was.
"well I can't say that I'm opposed to that idea," you whispered. he smirked as he realized Jervis' power must've been working, "I love that you're on board with the idea." his hands found your thighs as he rubbed them.
you giggled once again as you smashed your lips against his. you didn't care if this landed back in your car or your place but the higher his hands went, the warmer your face got. your tongue was fighting against his as your breath quickened up.
"how about we take this back to my house?" you nodded excitedly as Jervis and Edward noticed that Jonathan's plan went onto succeed, "I guess we're no longer needed?" Jervis asked Edward. he nodded as he chuckled, "ever the ladies man, isn't he?" Edward responded.
the two friends shook their heads in disbelief as they noticed you hanging off of Jonathan's side, placing kisses on his next as his hand remained rubbing against your thigh.

a summer glowup // klitz x chubby reader
ALL CHARACTERS ARE 18+
ok i've decided to make this a chubby reader AND set in modern tech era bc really not much would change and i prefer to write about that which i understand better yk 🙄i think this is part one??? might make a second part maybe not idk 😵 also i did not proofread this leave me alone 😭😭😭
"i want him in me so bad you guys you don't get it i want him IN MEEEESSNSNS" your story read. you giggled as you typed it and finally posted it. you loved to just post whatever came to mind, whenever. you loved getting reactions out of those that follow you, sometimes forgetting that people you respect follow you and see the shit you post.
your favorite part about posting these things though, was the reactions you would get from your friends. they always had something to say.
eli would usually say something equally as horny. matt would usually say something about how you should really keep those thoughts to yourself and how disgusting you are. he's just joking though... you hope. but klitz? he would always take any opportunity he could to flirt and tease you. it only took a few minutes before the tripod's responses came rolling in.
“just let me be inside you y/n just one chance plsssss 😫😫😫" eli responded.
“STOP THIS. ENOUGH. SEEK THERAPY" was matt's response.
klitz's was the only one to actually make you giggle out loud though. "yk you could just tell me instead of posting about me 🙄🙄"
you began responding to all of them. first to eli. "yk i'm in a committed relationship w my pink dildo eli don't be silly 🙄"
next was matt. "unless ur willing to pay, it won't be happening"
and finally klitz. "ur right klitzy bitzy boo babe, i'll start keeping our sex life a secret dw 💕💕"
you turned your phone off with a dreamy sigh, holding your whale plushie close to your chest as you squeezed your eyes shut. you hoped and wished with all your heart that one day all the flirting with klitz wouldn't have to be just that. that one day you may be able to just kiss him and buy him flowers and get freaky or whatever. but unfortunately, this summer, it wouldn't be happening.
this summer vacation was going to be spent out of state with you favorite aunt. she invited you over and insisted on having you stay, saying the much needed girl time was well overdue for the both of you. the tripod was disappointed to hear you wouldn't be able to spend everyday going on dumb adventures with them but made you promise to do group calls when you could.
you agreed, of course. you didn't know what you would do without being able to contact them. you'd already scheduled your first 3 calls, all of you promising to reserve those times for the calls.
a soft noise from your phone brought you back to reality. it was klitz. he always responds the fastest, unless he's asleep of course. if you wanted to get a hold of him while he's sleeping you knew to call.
“good. i don't want the whole school to know how much raw, hot, crazy sex we have 😖" he responded.
“we both know you don't care about that part. you just don't want them to know i peg you every thursday and turn you into a whining bitch in heat for me huh"
he read the message instantly and it took a while for him to start typing.
“you're absolutely right ☹️ once they find out ur into that shit they'd all start lining up and i wouldn't have you all to myself 😞" he said.
giggling, you began typing up your next response. "i hardly think that'll be the outcome. nobody wants me 💔🕸🕷⛓🥀" and you followed up with another text. "fr tho most of the guys at school couldn't handle me 🙄 i'm too big 💕"
he didn't read it for a few seconds and in that downtime you began texting your best friend. "EEEEE KLITZY RESPONDED TO MY STORY AGAIN 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭"
she responded almost instantly, a string of texts coming from her.
“BITCH
HES TOTALLY INTO YOU
THINK ABOUT IT
HE TEXTS YOU ALL THE TIME
ALWAYS RESPONDS TO YOUR SHIT
BLUSHES WHEN YOU TOUCH HIM
PRACTICALLY MOANS, EVEN
THE GUY IS PRACTICALLY YOURS ALREADY 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥"
you rolled your eyes with a smile. this is gonna be a long night.
~
while you were arguing with your bestie about whether or not klitz was into you, the tripod was at eli's home, having an equally as ridiculous conversation.
“she totally wants me. she wants me balls deep so badly." eli said in relation to your posts, scrolling on his phone.
“ELI-" matt started.
klitz cut him off. "she's not into bozo virgins like you, dickwad!"
“oh, right, i forgot shes madly in love with you. and how do you know i'm a virgin?!" eli defended, rolling his eyes.
klitz pointed to a pile of socks laying by the side of eli's bed, the pile looking as though he hadn't even tried hiding it properly. "there are literal CUM SOCKS, ELI, ON THE FLOOR-"
“shits radioactive at this point. generations on those socks, man.." matt muttered.
eli groaned. "those are NOT cum socks!! lemme prove it to you fools!!"
he waltzed over to the side of his bed from the gaming chair he was previously sat in and grabbed one of the socks, instantly dropping it and gagging out of disgust. the sock was literally rock hard and as it fell on the hardwood floor, it CLATTERED. ACTUALLY CLATTERED.
the three boys continued the gag for a moment following.
“that's actually disgusting-" klitz finally managed.
matt couldn't even breathe properly yet, still reeling from the sound the sock made. eli was beyond embarrassed, pushing the socks further under the bed with his foot, the socks making an awful scraping noise as he did so. he cringed.
“PLEASE DONT TELL Y/N" he shouted, dropping to his knees.
klitz laughed. "oh come on, it's not like she would be surprised to hear you've got a pile of rock solid cum socks."
“can we PLEASE move on from this subject—" matt gagged again. "and do your fuckin' laundry eli!"
~
the next day at school, you walked in with your best friend, chatting and giggling as you walked the halls u til you parted ways to get to your first classes. spotting the tripod from a distance, you walked over.
“hey boys!" you smiled, waving shyly at them as you walked over. the boys looked over and began walking to meet you halfway. seeing you again after the long weekend, they felt nervous again. they never imagined a girl would be a part of their group. especially one as pretty as you.
they always imagined they'd be known as the group of the most pathetic virgin boys, never even feeling the touch of a woman. but then they met you, and you changed everything. they never thought you'd have gravitated to a group like theirs, when your looks could easily get you in with the big dogs.
“hey, y/n" matt waved with a small smile.
“y/n!!!" eli cheered, smiling wide. "how is my fav virgin slut!!"
you quickly shushed him with wide eyes and a smile. "eli!! not so loud!" you turned to klitz, deciding to tease "hey klitzy bitzy! how's my baefy?"
he blushed and stuttered. "i.. i told you not to use that name in front of them-"
“KLITZY BITZY????!" eli wheezed. "NO WAY YOU LET HER CALL YOU THAT-"
matt did his best to hide his laughter, holding a hand out in front of his mouth. the blush on klitz's face only depends and he scratched his cheek awkwardly.
“it's not that serious, dude. it's just a stupid nickname.." he tried to defend himself.
you giggled. "don't tease him all day, boys. that's my job. i'll see you guys at lunch!"
~
it was a month later from that interaction and there was a lot of tears. the last day of the school year, and your last day with the three boys and your best friends before your trip out of state to be with your aunt for the summer. it was mostly eli crying, actually. and your best friend just shed one tear and encouraged you to have a good time and scope out cute boys for her.
klitz looked stiff and awkward. his face was sad but he didn’t know how to communicate that. matt just seemed too embarrassed by eli’s overdramatic sobbing.
“lemme hit just one time before you go y/n!!! just once!!” he begged, falling to his knees.
klitz rolled his eyes and shoved eli. “i’ve already reserved the night for myself, you rabid animal. go fuck your pillow or something.”
your face burned in embarrassment. “oh, klitzy.. i thought you wanted our sex life to be a secret.” you bat your eyelashes.
he had to clear his throat and look away from you. “oh, right. i forgot for a second there.” he pushed his glasses up nervously.
“hey, klitz?” you asked under your breath, stepping closer.
eli and matt were talking with your best friend and arguing about something dumb so you took the chance to say something to klitz in a somewhat private fashion.
“hm?” he hummed.
you grabbed his clammy hand, ignoring the way you could feel heat creeping up your neck and to your face. “can you promise me you won’t go out with any other girls this summer, alright?”
he paused for a moment. he didn’t even know what to say. what did you mean by that? was it because you wanted him to still be available when you got back? did that mean you liked him? you? the prettiest girl he’s ever interacted with in his life? no way. this had to be a dream.
“anything for you.” he stuttered, instantly cringing at his corny ass response.
you smiled at that and nodded your head. “good. i’ll see you in august.”
“…see you in august.” he sighed. you had already turned away and started walking home. he started biting the inside of his cheek, feeling embarrassed by how upset he was that he wouldn’t be seeing you over the summer. embarrassed by how much he was gonna miss you.
~
august came quicker than expected. over the summer, you group called the boys at least twice a week. each time it seemed you had so much to tell them, some new, exciting thing you did. the boys felt so left out, wishing they could have half as much fun as you were.
the first time they saw you, their jaws literally dropped. you had changed entirely, and only in a matter of a few weeks. you walked through the doors of the school and started finding your way to them. your hair was bouncing with each step, and the bracelets on your write jingled as you moved. you were wearing low rise pants that flared at your calves, a hot pink top that was cropped maybe a little too much for dress code, chunky sandals that tied the whole ensemble together, and a juicy couture bag slung over your shoulder. you were the definition of a dream in klitz’s eyes.
he watched the way the skin of your stomach rippled with each step, the way your breasts bounced deliciously, the way you were just oozing confidence he had never seen from you before. he felt his heartbeat pick up and he had to force himself to look away.
but then he looked back and he noticed more. the way your skin of your hips bubbled over the edge of your pants, the way you were smiling at the sight of the boys and rolling your eyes at any of the boys who used to tease you suddenly taking an interest in you.
“KLITZYYY!! ELI!! MATTY!!!” you shouted, picking up the pace and running to the boys.
klitz gulped loudly, swallowing a lump in his throat as he watched the way your body moved with your actions. he’d never seen you this way before. you always wore baggy clothes, hiding yourself. he knew you were a little insecure about showing your body in a world that only appreciated pornstar skinny bodies, but he’d never imagined you looked THIS good.
he just knew he’d be spending the night imagining you again, only this time he’d actually have something to go off of. he instantly felt guilty about that thought and shook his head. fuck. you’re his friend. his friend he flirted with on a regular basis. his friend he was extremely attracted to. god.
eli started running to meet you halfway and caught you in a hug. “Y/NNN!!” he picked you up and twirled you, making you squeal out of excitement.
“eli!! i missed you!!” you smiled, hugging back tightly. “how was your summer???”
he instantly started filling you in on all the things they did over the summer while klitz and matt continued walking over. klitz seemed nervous. he was visibly shaking and looking around. matt seemed happy, but did a good job keeping his cool unlike his two friends.
“klitzy!!” you smiled once he was close enough, instantly pulling him in to a tight hug. he wrapped his arms around your waist, bending down slightly so you didn’t have to stand on your toes to hug him comfortably. he could smell your perfume and took a deep breath, holding you closer, feeling your body against his-
you kissed his cheek. “i missed you!” you smiled. “oh, whoops, i left some lipstick on your cheek—“
“LEAVE IT!” eli shrieked. “leave it!! i’m getting the sense him having lipstick on his cheek will attract good attention.”
“yea, well i’m getting the sense he’s gonna look like a bozo idiot ratio all day if he leaves it.” matt said.
“i’ve got a makeup wipe right here, don’t even worry babe.” you smiled, pulling one out of the little packet and wiping his cheek clean.
his breath was shaky. “babe?”
“whoopsie, just let that one slip there, huh? yknow, sometimes i really just don’t think before i speak. i’ve been meaning to work on that!!”
“don’t worry about it..” he trailed off, his head feeling fuzzy. you just called him babe. even if you didn’t mean it..
you smiled up at him. “can we talk?” you turned to eli and matt, giving them a look that clearly meant you wanted some privacy.
matt easily took the hint and had to drag an oblivious eli away while he was shouting about not getting the chance to fully catch up with you.
once they were finally gone, you took a shaky breath, adjusting your bracelets. “so… any girls over the summer?” you started.
he chuckled. “i promised i wouldn’t, didn’t i?”
you smiled, chewing your gum at a quicker pace now, as if the speed matched your emotions. his eyes flicked down to your lips, noticing the glittery tinted gloss on your lips and god did your lips always look so kissable? had it just been the distance and the time away that made him feel this way?
he couldn’t care less. he just wanted to kiss you.
“well, the only reason i asked that if you wa-“
he couldn’t take it anymore. “can i, please, kiss you?” he stuttered, cutting you off.
your eyes widened, and you nodded your head frantically. he reached a hand out, cupping your cheek and pulling you in, tilting his head down to meet you halfway.
when your lips met, you swore you felt thousands of butterflies flap their wings in an instant. you giggled, pulling away.
“wanna hang out after school?” you asked.
he didn’t even say anything, he just nodded his head quickly. you giggled.
“good. because i’ve got a few ideas on what we could do.” you winked.

Random blurb idea - could you please do a blurb maybe where Matilda travels to surprise harry on tour, and maybe has her text notifs off bc of travel so harry is upset/concerned bc she’s not responding to his messages? Like a mix of angst and smut?
Sorry if you hate this and its nothing like you wanted.
Warnings: angst, smut, (brief) mentions of mental illness.
---
"I'm sorry, okay? but to be fair, I never said I'd come for sure. I only said I'd try." I adjusted the phone in my hand.
"I didn't say anything!"
"You didn't have to. I can practically feel you brooding all the way over here."
"'M not brooding. Know better than to expect you to just drive out cuz I happen to be playin' a show nearby. Even though we haven't seen each other in months."
"But you're not brooding or anything, right?"
"Right."
"I have to work, Harry! Not all of us can just change our plans on a whim and expect the whole world to accommodate our schedules, you know. Some of us have real jobs. Plus, you know I get anxious about this kind of thing. I'm not a professional rockstar-"
"No, you have a real job."
"C'mon, you know I didn't mean it like that."
"'S alright. I have to go, anyway. Sound check starts in a bit."
"Talk soon?"
"Bye, Matilda."

The wheels of my carry-on squeaked gratingly as I pulled it across the airport. I couldn't believe I was actually going through with this. I felt foolish. Like some love-struck teenager sneaking out of her bedroom at night for a boy who doesn't even know her name. Except I'm an adult. And Harry- well, it's complicated. But my therapist did say that I needed to start getting out of my comfort zone and doing things that I wouldn't normally do. Something about practice making things easier, or whatever. I've certainly never done this before. Granted I've arrived way too early for a domestic flight, and I'm sure I've overpacked for this weekend trip. Hopefully, the look on Harry's face will be worth it though.
A knot formed in my stomach every time I thought about how I spoke to him on the phone the other night. All he wanted was a chance for us to finally see each other again, but the thought made me feel threatened somehow. Like I'd admit to being attached to him if I were willing to come all this way. Of course, I could've been nice about it, or at least avoided implying that his job was less real than mine. All I can do now is hope that he doesn't still remember all that.
***
My fingers were shaky against the screen of my phone as I selected the "airplane mode" and plugged in my headphones. Perhaps getting four shots of espresso in my crappy airport coffee wasn't the sanest decision, or maybe the trembling was simply nerves, either way, I needed a distraction. Launching the music streaming app, I went for the "downloads" tab, and played "Matilda" as the pilot announced our take-off.
***
I ran across the airport, my squeaky luggage in hand until I reached the crowded escalator, regretfully bumping into the person in front of me before reaching a halt.
"E-excuse me, sorry." I whispered, but the man didn't seem to care. I peered beyond him at the long line of people. Damn was this thing crowded. I needed it to move faster. I needed to use the restroom. Airplane bathrooms gave me the creeps. And drinking soda with my stale complementary pretzels on the flight was a huge mistake with a bladder like mine.
hurry, hurry, hurry. I tapped my foot against my carry-on, impatiently, and earned a side-eye from the person in front of me.
"Again, sorry, sir."
***
I stared at my reflection in the foggy bathroom mirror. Gross airplane smell isn't exactly the scent I want Harry to associate with me. I took out my TSA-approved, mini-toiletries and began damage control. Freshening up, re-applying make-up, and spraying some perfume might help counteract the post-flight aroma and general vibe.
I promised myself that if this ends up going badly, my therapist is going to have to pay me next week.
The shorter the distance between Harry and I, the louder my heartbeat felt. It was practically in my eardrums by now. I hated keeping secrets from him, but I've also never surprised anyone before. If I was being honest, there was a tinge of excitement and anticipation about this, underneath all the self-loathing and embarrassment. No matter what happens next, I should be proud of myself for trying, right? I should...
***
At the arrivals gate, I deselected the "airplane mode" to access the internet and put in Harry's hotel address. The second that my phone caught signal again, my notifications were blowing up. It took me a minute to get over the vibrations and buzzing, and when the flood had died down, I look at my screen, blinking intensely.

Holy shit! What had I done? I worried that he'd been trying to reach me to let me know how much he hates me; how he's glad I never ended up coming out to see him after all. What if this whole thing was a mistake?
My brain froze. I hastily scrolled through his messages, too paralyzed by anxiety to process the words on the screen. Vaguely, I caught sight of "Apologize" "Just missed you" and "worried you hate me" across all 16 messages.
jumping in the cab, I relished in his voice messages and listened to them repeatedly it with a stupidly wide grin blasted on my face the whole time.
"Please don't ignore my messages. It's one thing to do that when we're within driving distance and I can just bang on your door and call your bluff, but I kind of hate when I can't do anything about it now."
"I'm really worried, and I know it's manipulative of me to say this, but, I really don't want to go onstage knowing that you're mad at me."
"okay, I'm starting to think that you do want to upset me. Don't be like this. I just missed you. Can ya blame me? The show was hell in case you care to know. I mean, I couldn't not sing Matilda now, could I? You know what I thought about the entire time I was singing it, though? Remember the one time you decided we should go to your place instead of mine, after filming? You made us dinner and I fucked you against the couch? left a nice bruise on your neck. Some of my best work, I must say. Have you been with anyone...you know, since... It's not like you can't be. Why stay celibate. I'm not your boyfriend or anything. I could be. But you don't want that, so... anyway, they're knocking on my door. Bye."
What a giant idiot.
*
It was a little past midnight by the time that my cab pulled up to the lobby of the hotel Harry and his band were staying in. I gave the receptionist the fake name he usually uses for reservations like this and they eyed me from head to toe a few times before finally confessing his room number. It was a large penthouse-sized space on their top floor. No doubt booked specifically with all his gear, luggage, and concert items in mind. During the elevator ride to the summit, it occurred to me that he might have brought someone back with him for the night. Or maybe gone out. He'd told me some stories, from the beginning of his performing career, when he'd go to afterparties, and after-afterparties and pick up women and smoke and drink and do things that I could only imagine. But, he's also told me that he has since turned in the opposite direction, opting instead, for a very structured routine on tour. He'd found that performing the very next day with a raging hangover and on very little sleep made his stage presence shaky and lackluster, and he felt it was his responsibility to always give every performance his full capacity. So, it was very likely that he'd be getting ready to go to sleep soon, but what if tonight is the exception? what if he'd decided, on a whim, to go back to his old ways, just this once?
how would I feel if I were to find his lips attached to someone else's neck right now? And before I could wait around to make up my mind about it, I found myself knocking on Harry's door.
the door creaked open, and, I could swear I saw the wheels turning in his head.
"If you must know, no. I haven't been with anyone else since being with you. Not that it's any of your business."
He went from barely looking at me through droopy eyes, clutching the middle of his bathrobe, trying to keep his chest covered to looking as if he'd seen a ghost, to grabbing the cross on his necklace, kissing it, and looking up at the ceiling.
"Thank you Jesus. God, thank you, thank you!!"
I frowned. "I didn't know you were religiou- ahhhh"
He grabbed me by my shirt collar, dragging me into the room and shutting the door behind us.
"Aren't you gonna- ask- why I'm here..." I attempted to remain cool and collected as Harry busied himself with separating me from my luggage, shoving me up against the wall and kissing everywhere his lips landed.
"Don't care" he whispered in between leaving a trail of kissing down the side of my jaw and neck. "Just care that you're here."
"H-harry, wait. I just got off a plane, there's like airplane germs all over me." I swallowed my giggles, feeling tickled by the stubble he appears to be growing.
Harry used, looking up at me through his lashes.
"Fine" He relented, his arms still around my waist, squeezing gently, as if to verify that I was really here. "You can take a shower. There's a very nice bathroom here."
"That'd be nice." I leaned in, kissing his cheek, and enjoying the blush it caused.
Harry's fingers danced down my body and took hold of my hand. "Let me give you a little tour."
"Ooo fancy!" I scanned his residence enviously, until my eyes landed on his massive, and unmade bed. "You were sleeping?"
"Not exactly....was about to. But that doesn't matter now. Cuz I've got company!" he turned around to face me, his hands cradling my face, his sparkling green eyes looking directly into mine. "are you really here or is this the dream I'm having after going to bed thinkin' about you and worrying that I haven't heard from you? Is my subconscious just makin' this up? if so, I don't ever wanna wake up."
My heart melted in my chest. I didn't know what to say, so I simply kissed his lips, causing his eyes to flutter shut and his feet to momentarily lose balance before he held onto me to steady himself.
"Ca-can I...join you in the shower?" he asked, looking down at his feet.
"Seriously, Harry? shower sex? do you know how impractical that is?"
"N-no! not shower sex." He looked at me, briefly, before sheepishly looking down at the floor again, his arms finding their place around my waist. "N-not that I don't wanna fuck you. Just-- uhh...I just wanna hold you. If that's okay? You can say no! I can just wait."
I was glad Harry wasn't looking at me because I'm sure my face would've given me away instantly. I grabbed onto the sleeve of his robe, leading him to the bathroom. "Fine. You can come." I could feel his excited gaze on the back of my head.
***
"Food'll be here in 40 minutes." Harry placed the hotel phone back in its place.
I nodded, my eyes on the tv.
"So..." He stood by the side on the bed, towering over my scarcely covered body. My hair was still damp and he insisted I wear his t shirt even though I'd packed my own pajamas. "How long are you here for?" he spoke as he crawled onto the bed, situating himself squarely in between my legs.
"just- for the- uhh- the \ weekend" I stuttered as Harry's hands slipped under the fabric of my clothes and found my breasts, his thumb and index fingers lightly running over my nipples.
"Mustn't waste time, then" he kissed a line of wet, open mouth kisses from my belly button, reaching the band of my underwear. "May I?"
"Yes. God, yes." My breath quickened. Harry's soft voice asking for permission always got me even when we were sleeping together every other night. Tonight, it downright melted me. "P-please." I mewled, instantly embarrassed.
"Eager, are we?" the grin was obvious in his voice.
"Yes!"
"Yes, what?"
My heart fluttered in my chest, skipping a beat. "Yes, sir." I corrected.
"hmm.." Satisfied, Harry hooked his fingers through the band of my underwear, slowly, teasingly, dragging it down my legs. "That's my good girl."

it's 7 in the morning, what'd you take me for? - genshin fic
ft. diluc, klee. qiqi (all platonic, w gn!reader)
warnings: angst to fluff!! except for diluc's part bc i can, alcohol addiction, grammatical errors bc i wrote this while half asleep
cw: alcoholism
summary: they try to stop you from drinking
note: i know it's common for some people to start drinking in the morning, but in the country i live in, almost no one does that because of work, school, cultural stuff etc etc so js keep that in mind! also ik the characters i chose are mostly from mondstadt, where it's common for people to drink quite early in the morning, but i just felt like they were suitable characters for this
DILUC! he sighs, looking as you lay your head down on one of the tavern's tables, dominant hand gripping the bottle of dandelion wine as if it were your life support. diluc has half the mind to snatch the bottle away from you, but he knows how cranky you can get when you don't get your morning drink in. and he knows it's bad, and that he should do something about your alcohol addiction, but it's hard to say no to you whenever you give him that pleading look you have on your face. it's the same with venti, really. when he sees the two of you drinking together, he gets worried that the week's supply of dandelion wine will be depleted within a day. it doesn't help that you have the money, even if venti doesn't, to pay for the drinks. "it's your seventh bottle," diluc says sternly. you shake your head, mumbling something incoherent. "one m...more?" you say, your words slurring together. usually, he would relent, pouring out some of the wine into a separate bottle so that you didn't drink the entire bottle. but this time, he only takes the bottle away from you. "you can't keep doing this," he says, looking at your slumped figure. "it's not even 8 in the morning yet." you wave a hand dismissively. "it's 8 somewhere else in the world," you mutter, reaching out instinctively for more. "please," diluc says, tone weary. "i can pay double...if you want," you ramble, cheeks squished against the table. diluc lets out a long breath. "i don't care if you pay or not. i want you to start taking care of yourself." if you heard his words, you might one day find the motivation to start taking care of yourself, as diluc put it. but for now, the tavern seemed like a really nice place to stay in, with alcohol as a friend.
KLEE! "albedo said that you can't drink that," klee says obstinately. your vision is blurry as you try and focus on the little red girl in front of you. klee, her name was? right, jean's adopted child and albedo's sister. "that was last time," you say as clearly as you can, willing yourself to look sober, even if you don't feel it. klee thinks for a moment, before saying cheerily, "if you help klee find dodoco, i will give it to you." dodoco? wasn't that the extinct bird? oh wait, it's klee's...friend. you nod eagerly. "right. um, dodoco. where did you last see him?" klee considers that for a moment, before jumping up in delight. "near whispering woods! i was there playing, and then dodoco went missing..." you nod as if you understand. "alright, i'll go find dodoco for you," you agree, heading towards katheryne from the adventurer's guild. "katheryne," you start, clearing your throat. the young woman looks at you, opening her mouth to give you the standard greeting. before she can speak, however, you slide some mora to her. "can you, um, help me find dodoco? y'know, klee's little friend," you say, hiccuping. katheryne only smiles and agrees, putting up a commission for it. you receive dodoco from katheryne hours later, and she informs you that the commission was completed by a foreign traveller who happened to be passing by mondstadt. you thank katheryne, and went off to find klee. when you pass klee dodoco, she jumps up in glee, hugging dodoco. "thank you!" klee exclaims. her face falls then, however, when she says, "albedo took the bottle away though...klee promises she didn't give it to him! he found it in my secret hiding spot and..." even through your drunken state, there is no way you would ever want to hurt a child, or see one become sad because of you. still, you couldn't help but let an expletive slip out from your mouth under your breath, directed toward albedo, before you bend down to pat klee on the head. "it's okay, klee," you say, realising this is the first time in ages that you've interacted with someone that isn't trying to take a bottle of alcohol away from you. klee brightens up considerably. "since you're free now, can we go fish blasting?" she asks excitedly, eyes sparkling. and even if jean is going to find the both of you later, and put klee in solitary confinement for the nth time, you only smile and agree.
QIQI! of all things, you definitely did not expect a small child to be the person standing between you and alcohol right now. qiqi looks up at you with soulless eyes, her monotonous voice telling you for the fifth time that under baizhu's orders, you were not to have the bottle of alcohol. it shouldn't be a problem for you, because normally you could always just buy a dozen other bottles to keep you satiated for the next few days. but your pay check hadn't come in yet, and your stock was already depleted. you really, really needed that bottle desperately, and a child - a zombie child, of all people - was in the way. defeated, you ask qiqi, "what did baizhu tell you?" qiqi paused for a moment before getting her notebook. "'do not consume more alcohol until fully recovered'," she reads out. you sigh, rubbing the temples of your head. a headache is setting in - a withdrawal symptom, no doubt. you haven't been off of it for very long, just barely a day ago you had finished off another bottle, but now the symptoms are kicking in - restlessness, feelings of nausea...baizhu had repeated them to you multiple times, and one could say that by force, you had memorised the effect of the drink you so loved. well, if qiqi wouldn't give you your drink, then you would just have to find other methods, right? you turn to leave, but feel someone tugging at the hem of your shirt. "don't...go," qiqi says, a long pause between the two words. she meets your eyes briefly, before looking down. "is it baizhu's orders? i'm pretty sure i took all my meds the last time," you say, trying to make your tone as kind as possible. it's hard though, but an attempt was made. qiqi shakes her head slowly. "qiqi, lonely. and cold. you are very warm." she says it slowly, before turning around to rummage through a small drawer you were sure wasn't there the last time you came to visit baizhu. "please stay," qiqi says again, handing you a small packet of...coconut milk? coconut milk. you rack your brains, trying to recall who...oh. right. the cocogoat incident that spread around liyue was really just qiqi asking for coconut milk. you look at the girl, and she is sitting on the floor, sipping her coconut milk as happily as zombies can be. you exhale, closing your eyes for a moment. you had work to do. you had a job, a pay check to receive. and this child was just in the way of your one and only source of momentary happiness. but, she also just gave you one packet of her favourite food. and being here at bubu pharmacy all day long alone while baizhu goes out to settle some...fishy business, it must be lonely, no? and perhaps, you were lonely too. so with a small smile, you sat down beside qiqi and drank the coconut milk in silence. it tasted horrible to you, but you finished it anyway. and the two of you sit there in silence, side by side, before you start to doze off...

Predictions on Will still being connected to Vecna will play out next season?
OOOOO!! i have a big prediction related to this that ive talked about before but i dont think enough people have appreciated how good it is. its not entirely how will is affected but how what happens to will will affect other characters.
so i dont think will is gonna be vecna’d the way max was. wills connected to him in a way no one else is so its gotta be bigger than last season. i think they might go back to the s2 super spy concept and have will be able to see or feel in some way what vecnas plan is. then vecna might realize what hes doing and something more similar to what happened to max will happen to him where he will be able to actually feel like hes in the same room as vecna and have a conversation with him.
i think vecna will threaten will here and say that he has to watch out and he will torture him when he least expects it and in ways that he wont see coming (obviously said no more spooky wording than that).
and THAT i think is what will lead to MIKE getting vecna’d. i think vecna’s method of torturing will is to torture mike.
mike has to be vecna’d. it just makes too much sense for it not to happen. max said it happens to people who have something thats haunting them. mike has insane internalized homophobia, way more than will i would argue, and i think he has so much guilt from the fact that hes still dating el even though he knows he does not and cannot actually love her romantically (theyd still be dating when hes vecna’d i am NOT a mlvn breaks up in the first episode truther).
i think the whole party and especially jonathan and joyce will be so concerned about will that no one will pay attention to the signs mike is showing. everyone will think wills at the most risk of danger so he’ll never be left alone, he’ll always be monitored and made sure by everyone that he’s safe but mike will be the one they need to look out for.
mike will be vecna’d the same way max was. nobody saw it coming they just suddenly realized mike wasnt responding and his eyes were all wrong. they all start to freak out but especially will. nancy is in denial. she says to will “no no why would it be mike youre the one we needed to look out for he said he was gonna torture you” and wills heart sinks and he realizes “i think this is how hes doing it”.
i wont go into detail on mikes vecna’d shebang here bc thats the answer to a different question but if anyone asks id be so down to talk more about that. i do have a post about mike but its his entire s5 arc and its embarrassingly long so if you just want me to talk about the vecna part i got you.
but yeah i think wills connection to vecna will directly cause MIKES encounter with vecna.

Appreciation Post to Kotaro and Arisa’s friendship bc why not?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maybe here’s a thought.. I love how in the translated novel I’ve read by ramirei (spoilers ahead and beyond for this now for Heart no Shucho lol), what Kotaro said was what Arisa exactly hoped someone would feel. She wanted her message to reach Karen, but even if it seemed it didn’t to Arisa’s mind, Kotaro never hesitated to tell her it reached him, and that was such a gentle and heartfelt scene to me!! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tbh, I believe Kotaro would still do this for Arisa even without Ken telling him. I mean, it’s such a great AriKen story which I LOVE, but Kotaro always showed no hesitation to help her like how he never hesitated to tell her what she’s hoping for, reaching out to her the moment he saw her crying on the rooftop, and handing her a handkerchief when one of their classmates or herself (I don’t know if it was Karen or those in the earlier chapters) spilled something on her materials and Arisa was panicking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Those who didn’t read the novel don’t know how Arisa went far to even consider to matchmake Koyuki and Natsuki for Kotaro lol (since she realized Koyuki’s a kind soul and thought Yuu’d be fine with his fangirls XD). I know someone thinks that she’s just indebted to him for doing something only her future bf requested (even if I think many would agree Kotaro is not willing to be bossed by anyone, and he dd it bc he knew it was the right thing to do), but I believe Arisa did everything not just out of debt; she genuinely wanted Kotaro, the only friend she had aside from Karen, and the only one who stood by her on those sad times of her life, be happy. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Paying debt might be a factor at the beginning, but it was genuine friendship nonetheless. Isn’t being determined and genuine in making a person happy and wishing them them the best all throughout your lives considered friendship? Plus, if it was just out of debt, Arisa won’t be the captain of the KotaHina ship like how I believe Haruki co-captains NatsuYuu with Hina (I mean oh boy, Haruki helped Natsuki organized her initial confession lol. His sibling dynamic with Natsuki in the novels are so underrated too). 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tbh, Arisa rocks being KotaHina’s captain lol. 
--
Tumblr media
(haven’t read Daikirai yet since I’m still on MochiAka novel 2, but I just knew there’d be a scene like this, and I love it lol)
--
Tumblr media
To conclude this post, I just want to appreciate Kotaro and Arisa’s friendship. I may have never gotten a Kotaro to my Hina, but I deeply appreciate the Kotaros I have in my life to the Arisa in me. Tbh, before Hiyori, Aizo and Yujiro, Arisa and Kotaro showed that male-female friendships could really work without being romantic.  Y’all read Heart no Shucho already if you still haven’t. It’s actually my 3rd fav novel next to Sekoi and Yakimochi no Kotae bc I never expected this friendship would be so wholesome and beautiful to read. I know Hina showed kindness to Arisa and so does Ken in his indirect ways, obviously, (I love AriKen!!) but I feel like many had slipped into their minds that if Kotaro was not present and ready to give her a hand on those times, she probably would have given up before Sena’s words could reach her. Kotaro’s mere presence in her life made her not give up, and that made her so dedicated to give a hand in his times of needs as well.  Her friendship with Karen led to misunderstandings that wouldn’t be cleared until years later in High School, but she found a friend in Kotaro and that’s worth appreciating. Also, I love how Kotaro showed his chaotic side to Arisa on the latter parts of the novel lol. 
It’s also worth noting how right after Hina cried on Koyuki’s departure in middle school, Arisa and Kotaro spent their time together while hoping for a better future.  (like, I always love the chapters before the epilogues lol. It’s the same for Sekoi and Yakimochi no Kotae HAHHA)
Tumblr media
y’all, thank you for reading if you survived till the end. I just love them and wanted to share my ramblings to why lol.

So I went and googled the Inn at the Crossroads theory you were talking about and I could see it.👀 the biggest reason that convinced me was the parallel of Cat kidnapping Tyrion. Jaime wounded Ned while Brandon with his wolf blood asked the crown prince to come out and die. They got the reports and acted brashly which resulted in war between the families. Brandon probably didn't know that Rhaegar was protecting Lyanna from Aerys men which were also looking for the Knight of the Laughing tree that Aerys paranoia simply would not let go of.
This is the first time I've heard of Jonsa having two weddings and I very much welcome the idea. There are parallels between Jon with Jahaerys also Sansa with Alysanne so why not their weddings too?
Hi, anon. Thanks for the ask!
Yes, I think the timeline makes sense. Brandon was looking for Rhaegar in the Red Keep. He probably just heard the reports that his sister was involved in an altercation with the King's men only to end up with Rhaegar's. It looked like a kidnapping at first because Lyanna of course wouldn't be willing to go with Aerys' men. There was no time for an explanation for why she chose to go with Rhaegar in the end. Brandon doesn't know about the Knight of the Laughing Tree and why going with Rhaegar is safer. Then the war happened.
I've been on the fence about jonsa secret wedding bc of all the discussions about RL wedding and Jon's legitimacy. I just know that Jon and Sansa would be involved in secret weddings too but it can't work if people would refuse to acknowledge it. Jace and Sara wedding was only in Mushroom's tale too. No! Jonsa should stabilize the realm so a public wedding is the only one that will do. Then I recently encountered about Jaehaerys I and Alysanne having 2 weddings. This couple is famously in love. *light bulb moment* Why can't Jonsa have two weddings? GRRM already laid out a precedent. The 2nd one might also be when Jon and Sansa consummate the marriage cause Sansa is a little older.👀👀
A Daenerys dying because of such union also works as a parallel when you think about it? Past Daenerys died from the Shivers while Current Dany will die from being cold and alone. Daenerys dying will be the price they will have to pay for having such a wedding.Its not all sunshine and rainbows especially if Jon ends up kinslaying. Jon got a "white-hot knife" of pain in his leg from Ygritte's arrow while the other mention of that phrase was in the first book involving Timett One Eye using it to put out his own eye. So white hot knife, Jon, one eye, and betrayal. Sounds like a recipe for Jonsa. We also have to remember that Jon's betrayal was because he chose the one whose eyes he said he will "fall and drown" in. He would have been fucked if it weren't for Deus Ex Machina Summer- Bran's wolf. Isn't that the case for Jonsa? They'll be fucked if not for Bran. Be it for the RLJ reveal or giving Sansa's hand in marriage. Another reason I'm convinced of the connection between white hot knife and Jon is because of the White Knife in the series.

#3 Jiraiya/Tsunade
"Lingering hugs..."
I wanted so badly to include smut in this bc Jiraiya deserves it damn it but it insisted on being an angst piece so apologies anon!
Embrace
Length: 700 words
Prompt: Those lingering hugs before you part ways that make you just… Wonder. 
Summary: Every time they hugged, it was a moment to remember.
Tumblr media
The first time Tsunade allowed him to hug her, Jiraiya thought the world was on the verge of ending. Before, she had always punched him away or wiggled so that his hands might reach for her, but would never actually land on her. It was part of the curse of being known a lecher, but it was a small price to pay. Better that than her knowing just how hopelessly in love with her he was. 
Her head buried into his shoulder. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I’m sorry I have to go. I just… I can’t. Not anymore. Not after Nawaki… and Dan…” her voice trailed off. Jiraiya understood, of course. Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato had each stolen pieces of his heart as he had trained them, and the knowledge of their deaths had left him unable to even contemplate teaching anyone ever again, prophecy of the one who would save the world be damned. 
When those who held her entire heart had passed on, leaving her behind, it was only natural that Tsunade would seek out a place where memories of them did not linger around every corner. 
He patted her back. “Go in peace, and be safe,” he said. A wry smile made its way to his face. “And make sure you don’t stake the right to touch your breasts when you run out of gambling money, understand? Those are Konoha’s treasures.” 
She flung him away from her with a single push. “You damn pervert! Just when I thought you were growing up a bit!” 
His smile felt a little less strained after that. If she could yell at him, then maybe she wasn’t entirely broken. 
The second time Tsunade allowed him to hug her, it was immediately after her inauguration as Hokage. 
“Thanks for taking on the burden,” he said. “They wanted to make me the Hokage, can you believe it? I’m so glad that you were willing to take on that buttload of work instead.” 
She scowled. “And here I was thinking you actually thought I’d make a good Hokage,” she grumbled. But she didn’t let go of him, and for the first time, Jiraiya allowed himself to wonder if there was an after. He did not need to be her one true love – he knew that was Dan’s place. But being second choice was still better than being no choice at all. 
The third time they hugged, Tsunade initiated it. His heart leaped for joy as she buried her head into the crook of his neck, her hands caressing his chest. 
“I’ve missed you so much,” she mumbled. “Not th’same without you. Dunno how to be sober.” 
Of course. It wasn’t truly him that she was seeing, was it? She thought he was Dan. 
Every inch of his skin felt hypersensitive, and every instinct he possessed begged him to reach out. Just a little caress. She wouldn’t even know. 
But he would. And he would never allow the act to become reality. If his love went unreciprocated his entire life, so be it. Let it burn a pure, untarnished, flame. 
When Jiraiya bid Tsunade farewell, he contemplated trying to hug her again. 
But she was betting on him losing, wasn’t she? And she always lost her bets. He would be fine. 
He would come back, and he would take more than just a hug. He would take her on dates, he would scheme for the sake of the village with her, and he would follow her anywhere. He would follow her to the cenotaph, and hold her as she remembered Dan. 
“I’ll be back,” he said with a grin, even as a sense of foreboding urged him to just give her a damn hug. It was probably the same sense that had urged him to touch her when she was intoxicated. He hadn’t given in to it previously, and he would not now. 
As Jiraiya felt the life seep out of him, a warmth surrounded him, even as his extremities grew cold. He could see her then, eyes bright as they were in childhood, embracing him not as a teammate, not as a friend, but as a lover. 
“Tsunade,” he mumbled. “Love you.”

Hi! I read through everything about your boyos so I’ll have a few asks coming through if that’s ok? I’ll use 🍒 so ya know it’s me (if that’s alright!)
My first is what if we just straight up quit on Krama, like the dream stuff was too weird and we had a bad feeling so we decided to dip.
ALSOOOOO, him not liking a volatile darling when she’s angry 👀👀. What happens if he tries to bring her back and she reacts as such?
(Sorry, I crave angst and I wanna know if you’re willing to indulge me. If not, thank you for the characters and have a lovely rest of your night/day!)
hi anon! welcome to the family 🍒! i'm so glad to have you on board!
and yes i will indulge your angst ;)
(i'll use she/her pronouns bc it was in the ask)
-------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
honestly, i feel like dipping on karma would be expected
so he'd have plans in place to prevent that
such as threatening your job or your family etc etc
and if darling really doesn't give a fuck and still dips-
karma is not above kidnapping her.
like he'd have her kidnapped in the most sophisticated way
and honestly you'd be gone into thin air.
obviously, missing persons cases would be filed by your family
and your boss too (*cough* karma *cough*)
but its honestly just for show
cause karma will ensure that this becomes one of the many cold cases the world has seen
(if he's feeling a bit dramatic, he might push (read: pay) for a documentary to be made ab your disappearance)
bottom line: there's no escaping.
''i lost you once, and i'm never gonna lose you again love.''
okay back to the kidnapping:
naturally, i dont think anyone would take well to being randomly kidnapped
and tbh, you kinda knew it was karma behind it
so darling was rightfully seething when she was 'delivered' to him
immediately the blindfold is taken off, she's screaming and yelling to the point of tears
you're calling him crazy, delusional, a psycho, every name in the book really
and if there's one thing about karma, he can't stand noise.
after 5 minutes of darling's loud, angry rantings; (and karma's silence)
a loud, commanding ''shut up'' echoes through the room.
and it literally shuts you up lol
''all i wanted to do was take care of you and love you. to take you away from your hard, mediocre and unsatisfactory life. to have your heart. to give you mine. but if you hate me that much and you think my love for you is that disgusting, then you can leave.''
darling is speechless fr
karma's lowkey trying to hold it together but you can kinda see the tears welling up in his eyes
he literally marches to the door and opens it
''leave.''
you're hesitant.
''k-karma...''
then he snaps.
''i said leave. get out of my fucking house (y/n). you can go back to your life and pretend this never happened."
you can see on his face that there's no room for argument-
why would you even want to argue anyway? you're the one who wanted to be left alone.
so you leave and go back to your life
and your 9-5 job at the Elios Group
back to your default y/n lifestyle.
all your clothing that disappeared are dropped off at your doorstep
no more random surprise gifts
no more security hovering behind you in your day to day
no more seeing karma at work
no more love letters
no more random calls, texts, trips-
no more karma.
just silence
and deep down it upsets you.
but what are you so sad for (y/n)?
isnt this what you asked for?
(hi hi!! i hope this was good? i really wanted to capture how sensitive karma can be when it comes to his darling! hope you enjoyed! xx)

mike. mike wheeler means so much to me you don’t even know. since s1 we have watched this boy with so many insecurities who never feels like he’s good enough for anyones time or attention throw his entire self into looking for will because no one else is and that’s his best friend goddamnit why is he the only one trying and he thinks the absolute world of will but in the best and most realistic way and he is literally willing to die for him (the quarry scene in s1) and with el he has always looked up to her. always been amazed, fascinated, saved by her. he calls her a superhero because he has never thought of her as anything else. she was his key to getting will back. and like lucas said in s1 the only reason mike ‘loved’ her was bc she was the only girl paying him attention. and mike feels obligated to reciprocate that attention and ‘love’ because hell, he’s 12 and a nerd and he’s never kissed anyone before and now there’s a real life girl here and it’s his chance at a normal life so he might as well take it. and he feels a little better but then he loses el and gets will in one fell swoop and now will is back and every powerful ‘best friend’ feeling mike has towards him comes careening back and mike can never support will and el at the same time because he likes el in a way where he looks up to her and holds her to a high standard and therefore the entire relationship is mostly superficial and they’re not even similar at all they were both just there. but with will that’s his best friend and he loves him and he can be himself around him (this obviously can’t happen with el because again mike feels inferior to her so he pushes away his friends and his interests to seem cooler to her because. it’s all about superficial image to them) and this is the root of the central conflict in s4 between mike el and will because el is gone and mike has that innate need to be a protector, to help and to save everyone he loves, but he doesn’t feel good enough to do that. (hence the quarry scene, hence every el-related breakdown he has) (the guy can’t even say i love you to her because he knows. he knows it’s not true. yeah all the wheelers suck at communication and no mike has never been able to say the word love because he’s a socially awkward and criminally insecure dumbass. but he does not love el. he worships her and he looks to her to save will. to save all of them. and when there is no saving to be done their relationship amounts to. nothing.) and now in s4 mike and will haven’t spoken in ages (i believe mike had called a lot but like he said the phone was always occupied bc of joyce. he is hurt that will never returned these calls. will doesn’t know they even happened. stupid boys suck at communicating) and so we get the airport scene where mike is trying so desperately to be cool and to be seen ‘correctly’ by el and el is doing to same to him by lying about rink o mania and angela. and it shows that both of them view the relationship superficially and neither think they’re good enough for the other. but wills ‘you’re the heart’ speech in the van and the conversation between will and mike in wills bedroom shows that they view each other as equals and love each other exactly as they are. they know almost everything about one another and they love how nerdy they are and never feel like they have to be cooler or better in order to impress each other. and mike doesn’t feel like he is enough which is why wills speech in the van made him so happy because that’s how he wishes his relationship with el was and if he knew that speech was from wills pov instead of els? imo he would go feral. because that boy has never even considered that anyone would love him just how he is. especially not someone that knows all the parts of him he feels he needs to change. and oh my god nobody touch me

Two Tuesdays ago I went to my boss’s office and asked to talk about pay again, since it’s been more than the 30 days she initially gave me to ease into my new role. She said sure, put a meeting on her calendar for the following Tuesday and we’d talk. I thought that was kinda bizarre but I heard her on a call after I left the office that day and figured she just had another meeting.
So I scheduled the meeting, and last week went in there at our time again and the whole thing was literally all of five minutes. I asked her for something that I knew was unrealistically high, hoping to settle at something more reasonable in the middle as I’ve heard one should in these convos. With my crazy request I did also let her know I’d be willing to take on more work, more stores- whatever they needed. My workload has been pretty manageable. She said she didn’t have stores to give me right away, but she might be able to tag me into special projects of hers for some struggling stores. In terms of pay, said she thinks she could get me there but not right off the bat, that she wouldn’t want to put me on the “high end of the pay scale” right away bc then there’s no room for growth. Fine, that’s expected. But then she said she would email me a new formal written offer with something in the middle after looking into where I am right now. Didn’t ballpark a figure face to face, or tell me when exactly to expect that.
I went through the rest of last week and didn’t hear anything. Which I kinnnnda figured, but I hoped would be different. We have a huge campaign going on rn so she’s busy, plus there are a lot of levels above her in terms of the CFO and HR she has to go through. My parents have told me to calm down and that she’s probably just gotta get approval from her boss before she offers me anything. Which is in line with what she said that day.
But idk, the sale ends in two days and if I go through another week without hearing, or getting a “still working on it” nudge at the very least, I literally don’t know what to do at this point. Like groveling on my knees three times for what I’m pretty certain will be a <$3k raise almost feels worse than going without lol.
I hate how much it’s making me start to think about looking around. I love this job otherwise, it gives me a lot of flexibility and I’m trying to keep that perspective, like I am definitely making a decent wage for the amount of work I do and free time I honestly get on the clock. I want to be stable here, and I didn’t want to go job shopping again until I can just say “I’m done with a degree, and have 2 years of experience.” But I’m just worried I’m getting the runaround.

Finch (Robin's PC)
18+ / minors DNI
Hi guys. Thanks for the support on my first two drabble thingies. And welcome to my blog, since I haven't said that yet.
I'm gonna start a little series where I show off my personal PCs I use when romancing different characters in DOL. I made them all in the sims since I'm not confident in my drawing skills... so their actual in my head designs are a little different than the screenshots you'll see here. And of course, the actual sprites in DOL differ quite a bit as well. But y'know it's just so you guys get a sense of the character.
I might also put all of them into a world in the sims with their love interests and see what happens lol.
Anyway, without further ado, here's Robin's PC: also known as Finch!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Headcanons under the cut
Finch the Bodyguard
Get it? because robin is a type of bird and a finch is also....... yeah I'll see myself out
she/her pronouns
bisexual
Finch isn't her real name. But nobody knows her real name, not even Robin or any the teachers...
Leighton knows, and Bailey knows. But that's about it.
Finch erm... "persuaded" Leighton to change her name on school documents.
She's not above using sex to get what she wants... i mean in this fucked up city you do what you gotta do.
She prefers not to have to resort to that though.
Most things do go her way, after all she's smart, attractive, popular....... and intimidating........
Yeah she is BUFF in case you can't tell. She loves building muscle and working out... but mainly she's like that out of necessity.
I mean it helps to be able to fend off attackers and pursuers.
Or simply scare them off before they even lay their hands on her!
She has scary dog energy
Whitney knows to stay out of her way.
Bc the one time he did stop her in the hallway and tried to put his hands on her... did not end well for him.
EVERYONE recorded that fight. It's not everyday you get to see Whitney get pummeled into the ground...
And then he SCRAMBLED to get those videos taken down....
It's okay tho Finch actually made a truce with him and helped him threaten persuade everyone to delete the videos.
As long as he promised to keep his and his friends' hands off of her loved ones.
So yeah they don't interact with each other now but they both know the terms and conditions of their little truce
Robin & Finch <3
So how did Robin get the hot goth baddie?
Well as per the plot of DOL they grew up together and were friends and he looked up to her and yada yada
They were pretty much acting like lovebirds way before they actually made it official
And their situationship was fine as it was, for a while... but Finch really feels like she needs to devote herself to people entirely. And she felt bad having her attention pulled away from Robin, her best friend since forever, by other friends and especially other potential love interests.
So she was like fuck it and, in the privacy of Robin's room one night, while he was playing video games, they made it official
It was all sappy and shit <333
She DEDICATED herself to him
She's a great gf honestly
Neither of them are very fond of PDA, and Finch is very stoic and rather serious irl, and she feels like she needs to keep up her intimidating persona
so they keep the lovey-dovey shit behind closed doors
i love them they're so cute
her other little "title" alongside "the bodyguard" is "robin's protector" bc that's basically what she is. She doesn't let any harm come to him as long as she's there.
She even pays Bailey's rent for him. So yeah she juggles like a million jobs trying to afford that
But she tries to find jobs that are safe that robin could do, bc honestly that lemonade stand... isn't helping much.
Unfortunately all the higher paying jobs come with a lot of risk. Risk she's not willing to put Robin through.
She feels very protective over him, not in a weird way but genuinely she hates seeing him hurt, but it's gotten to the point where she feels like he can't go anywhere and do anything.
It's putting quite a damper on his confidence levels.
And she's noticed.
But what can she do other than try to protect the love of her life?
And when it gets to the point where she has to choose between a confident robin, or a safe robin, what will she choose?
Is it even up to her?
Wow sry guys that was a lot. Also as much as I love DOL I don't actually play that much so I might get some details wrong or miss big plot things that I just haven't seen so... yeah.
Ok bye lol

guyssssss i have gossip again *twirls hair* gather round. so i made a post not long ago complaining about work and i mentioned that i was friends with one of the agency chefs at my work, i called him M in the post, and that we always get a drink together after our shift and it's just really nice. WELL being an agency chef he only stays temporarily, and it was his last shift the other day and because it was his last shift it must have made him cocky, bc this fucker RUINS everything by starting to flirt with me. like literally what is it with men and having to butcher all platonic relationships with girls like king i genuinely really liked you and now you've made me uncomfortable. i started noticing it actually when he offered to pay for my drink like i said the other day bc the way he was doing it was quite ??? and i also just have a v good radar for these things, but then he invited me out for his last day and said i should COME BACK TO HIS HOTEL ROOM AND I WAS LIKE SIR??? he's like in his thirties as well the catering industry has got to STOP. so yeah i was just really bummed out about that but nothing actually came of it thankfully and he sent me a really nice goodbye text saying like 'honestly it was lovely meeting you' which was very sweet. ALSO last night you might have seen i went out haha <3333 and i BUMPED INTO THE COWORKER THAT I FANCY!!! STRAWBERRY GUY!!!!!!!!!! basically when i left for a week to do my resits he also left to go back to uni and he'd kinda said beforehand that he wasn't coming back for xmas so genuinely i thought id NEVER see him again which i was a bit sad about bc he's genuinely so lovely, but NO I WENT OUT INTO THE SMOKING AREA AT SPOONS AND SOMEONE SHOUTED MY NAME I TURN AROUND AND SEE HIM THERE!!!!!!! it was so nice like we got a drink together and he was really chatty and just chuffed to see me and he's said he's coming out tomorrow night (bc we're all doing like a work party thing HELP) so i'll see him again and i just!!! GAH!!! he's just so!!!! like he's just so so lovely like at one point his mate sort of implied that my mate was flirting with him even though her and him are BOTH in a relationship, and it pissed my friend off a bit and she mentioned it and instead of getting all defensive of his friend my coworker IMMEDIATELY was like 'was he being a dick? bc i'll have a word with him if he was' like he just believed her and was willing to talk to his mate if he'd been a knob and it's just he does loads of small small things that are just such green flags and im just here looking at him with heart eyes. what the fuck happened to me

hi ghost here with a book of updates 😊
so we hung out on Thursday (didn't go to barnes and noble tho i was very sad) and we built more Legos 😂 we ended up having to call it quits on the Legos bc it was like 10:30 and we both had work in the morning and we both were getting so tired and were confused by this one part. and i gave him this zippo lighter i bought at work of his favorite hockey team and he got so excited it was adorable and he gave me a hug. i wasn't going to buy it for him originally but then it was the only one we had and I didn't want someone else to have it so I got it for him. and his mom gave me candles and they're always so nice to me giving me stuff.
but then on Friday my mom started acting like my mom (guitar anon has mommy issues and a very very overprotective mom so like what base is it when i start telling him about her. cause all of my friends don't really like my mom once I start talking about the problems we have 😕) and sent me this huge text message while I was at work just a lot of guilt tripping and making me feel bad for not responding to her text while I was with the guy and that's a whole drama i really don't feel like getting into cause she's always had a problem dealing with me growing up. but anyway it just made me really sad and overwhelmed and so i texted the guy and said i needed a hug and why did he have to live so far away and he said he was sorry and I thought that was the end of it but 5 minutes later he texts me and says he sucks and I'm like why and he said cause he lives far away and I said yeah I can't get hugs on demand when I'm sad and he said he must give pretty good hugs and I told him I can't feed his ego and he's like well I am a Leo and I said so does that mean I have to feed your ego and he said maybe and i said well you do give good hugs and he said good and then i said this is the part where you compliment my hugs bc I'm also a Leo and need validation jk but not really and then he said maybe and then he sent me pictures of something but I forget lol and then a few minutes after that I'm like I'm still waiting on my compliment and he said I might have a lot and i said you can share with the class and he said maybe and i said you're making me work too hard for this and then he said I think you’re pretty cute and your shyness is cute too, I know you really mean it when you hug me. Plus no one has ever gotten me stuff before like you have so it means something to me. (Yes I copy and pasted it to my notes app do not come for me 😂) and I said expect more gifts bc I like giving them and he said what do I want and I said a hug and he said I wish I could give you one and I said that works for now and he said that's fair and then he asked if I wanted to go to this fair with him on Sunday but I had work until 5 so I couldn't and then he asked about Saturday and I said I worked and he said damn and I said I'll tell my boss she's ruining our lives and then he offered to throw chickens at her. and now I have like all my work besties ready and willing to pay him to throw said chickens at our boss.
it was great on Friday and Saturday we talked basically non-stop like I was so spoiled by the amount of attention I got that yesterday I was like WHERE IS HE I NEED MY ATTENTION
on Saturday he texted me a song recommendation and literally like 20 minutes before I was thinking that I should ask him for more music recommendations and so I told him that and he's like I'm just that good and I said that he lives in my brain and can tell what I'm thinking and he's like yeah and I said is it at least nice in my brain and then he said I think so then I said yeah you're in there a lot so I made you a room and he said interesting and I said very interesting. and then he told me he bought our next Lego set (the house from up! it's so cute) and he got something for me 🥺
and I have been planning with my friend that set us up for us all 4 to go out to eat so hopefully that'll be happening sometime this week.
OH AND WHEN I WENT TO THE MAISIE PETERS CONCERT ABOUT A WEEK AGO I SENT HIM A PICTURE OF MY OUTFIT LIKE HERE I GO READY TO DRIVE 4 HOURS AND HE SAID THAT I LOOKED GOOD AND IT MADE THE HOUR OF ARGUING WITH MY MOM WORTH IT ONCE I SAW THE TEXT ☺️
okay i think I've caught you up on everything. 🎸 anon ❤️
OH MY GOOOOOOOOD I WAS SO BEHIND ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE SLOW BURN COUPLES HOLY SHIT
i’m so sorry to hear that about your mom since i’ve been there and it just causes such frustrating anxiety and dampens the mood, but that little banter is so fucking cute 🥺 also good on him for hyping you up!!! he better hype you even more though. man’s should be worshiping you at your feet truly.
and the legos being a euphemism i’m cackling 😭 why can’t people just accept lego dates are superior smh (i have never been on one but like!! i know i’d have a good time!! plus it’s a good way to get to know someone!!! if it gets awkward then y’all have something to focus on rather than the silence!!!!!)
i’m truly so happy for you nonnie and even more excited because i saw another update it’s like reading a fic and seeing you still have another chapter to go haha. now excuse me, ima go read the next update, and y’all BETTER have kissed (just kidding but… still. y’all better get there eventually. i can wait the 100k words but WE BETTER GET THERE EVENTUALLY)
