have i talked before about how crazy it drives me that in old bdubs videos he would super abashedly talk about his love for making things pretty? because. it drives me crazy.
at the beginning of mc4 when everyone was clearing out spawn so it was a lifeless flat plot of land to build on and bdubs took it personally and added grass and foliage once everything was built to make the whole landscape more lively and cohesive. and how hed get made fun of for thinking about little shit like that.
also when he got asked what hed be doing if he wasnt doing mc and he mentioned music (i think) and basically was super embarrassed to be like “i know its not very manly, but im super into artsy fartsy stuff”. as if that is a bad thing.
anyway im getting so emo thinking about how in hermitcraft, everyone knows and admires bdubs skill as a builder and its not ever something thats made fun of anymore. thinking about how bdubs never talks down about his own abilities anymore and instead of feeling weird about being a dude whose into artsy fartsy stuff, hes really embraced his career as a creator of beautiful things.

Sweet Pea x Reader
A/N: I'm heading into exams so I'm not sure how many fics will be posted over the next week if any. I'll do my best my loves.
-------------------------------------------------
You lay tangled with Sweet Pea in his trailer, Friday night buzzing around outside. The both of you cocooned away from it all. Your phone alarm buzzed, Sweet Pea sighing loudly.
“I gotta go, family will be wondering where I am”
“And when are you going to tell them where you actually are”
“Hmmm when you clean this trailer” you winked, grabbing your coat from the disgruntled kitchen, Sweet Pea following you closely, rolling his eyes.
“I want to meet your family ynn, it's only right. We've been going out almost a year. I feel like you're ashamed of me or something” he looked to the ground and you took his face in your hands. He held them there, loving the feel of your delicate touch.
“Of course I'm not! You've met my friends and they're miles more important to me than my family”
“Still though…”
“They're just really classist and terrible people. I know my parents would have loved you of that's any consolation”. Your parents had died when you were 13 then you were shipped off from your home, to Riverdale, to live with your aunt and uncle. Imagine Cheryl Blossoms parents but miles worse and miles wealthier. They could buy the Blossoms 10 times over. While your own parents were wealthy, they didn't half flaunt it as much and wanted to raise you as a hard working, fair woman not a social snob with and ego to match like your cousin of the same age.
“I still want to meet them”
“And have them forbid me from seeing you?! After all Northsiders aren't supposed to really be friends with Southsiders” You pulled from him suddenly
“Well that would be kinda hot not going to lie” he caught your hips and buried his face in your neck as you giggled. You pulled his head to meet your lips briefly before flying for the door before he could stop you again.
“Bye Sweets, love you"
“Yeah yeah whatever” he turned to face away from you. This conversation always ended the same, with you avoiding a straight answer.

Sweet Pea POV
To say I was nervous was putting it lightly. I was shaking in my boots. Jughead and Toni helped me find a suit. I had to bribe them both into keeping what I was doing quiet. Especially from Fangs, if he knew I was dressed in a suit for yn hed call me whipped and never let it go.
I arrived at the address and wow it was fancy, too fancy for me. Ynn was right, this was a bad idea.
“Sweets!” I heard her beautiful voice as I was about to turn around and bolt out the door. Wow. She looked amazing.
“What do you think?” She gave a little twirl in her almost ball gown. I couldn't actually speak, my mouth was dry.
“I'll take that as a good sign” she laughed, taking my hand in hers she pulled me deeper into this world she didn't seem to fit into. Or at least the ynn I know didn't fit in. It was prissy and snobby and perfect in a way that was unsettling and false. Not like my ynn at all and yet she seemed to be like a chameleon in this world. I'm really going to try for her. As I thought this I ran smack bang into a waiter sending his tray to the floor. I was instant apologies and attempted to assist him, to which he looked at me like I had three heads.
“I know it's awful but we just have to walk away” she whispered, dragging me off. It was awful. Even I thought it was a terrible thing to do and I've done some shocking things.
She pulled me to the side of the room out of sight briefly, pulling me into a kiss.
“ready sweets?”
“As much as one can be”
“Where's your tattoo?” I looked to the floor.
“I covered it, Toni did it, I thought it might be better”
“I hate it”
“Me too” I laughed, meeting her eyes again. I'm glad she agrees.
“I don't like your hair all combed like that either”
“Wow you're working wonders for my confidence and I was going to say you're the most beautiful girl i've ever seen but I'll just have to say something mean instead…you're only the second most beautiful girl I've ever seen...that doesn't even sound slightly believable” I smirked and she blushed.
“No I just mean I like the way you're normally dressed”
“I like when you're not dressed at all” she shoved me laughing.
“I'd nearly prefer that then this stupid dress”
“I think you look gorgeous” smile to match.
“I think you look uncomfortable”
“Yn, I promise everything will be fine”
Then I met the krakens that were her aunt and uncle. Terrible people as promised. Snooty, snobbish socialites who made their money off YNs parents and wouldn't know hard work if it hit them. I wanted to hit them.
“And what do your parents do?” even though I was I was much taller than her aunt, she still managed to look down her nose at me. Yn squeezed my hand, so far I had fended off every rude question and snide remark, I wasn't doing terribly. I had told them SP stood for Steven Paul, thought my actual name would raise less questions but I could tell it made ynn sad I had to lie. Yn tried not to laugh at my ridiculous alias.
“Pharmacists” that's not a total lie. Ynn had to look away from me to stop herself from laughing. I didn't have a great relationship with my parents, if one at all but it wasn't a sore topic for me, I was simply used to them being crappy.
“Oh what part of pharmacy?” Her uncle finally pried his eyes off the young waitress serving us to listen to me.
“Emm, Mom's in production and dad...dad works in dispensing” I bit the inside of my cheek to stop a laugh from rising. Yn couldn't and let a small one slip.
“What's so funny YN YLN?” Her aunt bit. I didn't like the way they used her Dad's last name like a curse. I can tell she felt the same. My turn to squeeze her hand under the table for reassurance.
“Nothing” she looked back to her plate of untouched food. She seemed immensely uncomfortable around them, I felt more at home than she did and that says a lot.
“Yn, sit up straight for Christ sake, SP wouldn't want to be seen with someone the posture of a troglodyte!” Her uncle alongside me snapped.  Yn adjusted.
The same waitress her uncle had been fawning over moved to serve water. Her Uncle slipped his hand around her leg causing her to jump and dump the jug of water all over me and the table.
“Argh!” I stood to me feet instantly at the cold, yn grabbing napkins and coming to my aid.
“Oh yn you giant cluts!” Her aunt shouted.
“But I-”
“Go get some proper towels you useless little girl!” Ugh they make my blood boil.
“No no, the napkins are fine, thanks YN" I removed my drenched suit jacket and began dabbing my face and neck with the napkin. Her uncle had us swiftly moved to another table. I continued to dry myself off as we sat back down.
“Yn you really must be more careful” her uncle repremained her and it was killing me. I can see now more than ever why she wanted to keep this world from me.
“SP, what's that on your neck?” Her aunt began squinting and I covered over my tattoo again with tissue. I must have wiped the makeup off. Shit shit shit.
“It's his Serpent tattoo” the whole table, including myself looked confused and shocked at yns suddenly brave voice.
“His what?” I could feel my neck reddening.
“Serpent tattoo, you get one when you join the Serpents, like Sweet Pea here. Yup, his name is Sweet Pea not Steven Paul or whatever witness protection program sounding name he said.” She tilted her head challengingly in their direction. Wow I'm turned on by this.
“I don't understand” her uncle could just manage.
“I'm dating a Serpent, simple as. I have been for the past year, I've even been to the Whyte Wyrm”
“You shut your mouth young lady before someone hears you!”
“I hope they do! I'm sick of you people! I love Sweet Pea, gangs and gun violence and all! When I'm 18 I'm taking back everything my parents gave you awful awful people because you sure as hell don't deserve it!” She then stormed off in the direction of the car parks
“Ahem well, lovely meeting you….No actually not really, you don't deserve to have yn in your lives and by the way, I scratched the side of your car with my bike” I followed her quickly then, leaving them stunned and confused.
I ran out to see yn leaning against my bike I had parked around the corner to avoid being seen.
“You look hot”
“I'm sorry I blew your cover, I'm just really over being their puppet”
“That's okay, I was going to say something eventually” I pulled her into my chest, shielding her from the cold and a world she didn't belong to.
“Do you think I could live you for awhile Sweets? Just till I'm 18, then my inheritance will be unfrozen”
“Oh, a girl with money, hot” she bumped me with her hip before clawing herself back into my chest.
“I'd love if you'd live with me” she smiled before running her hand through my hair to return it to its normal messy texture.
“Much better, I can actually kiss you now without thinking is this boy going to try to sell me stocks after” I grinned into the kiss we shared. I love my Northsider girlfriend.

Much love Xx

Chap 10 If You Can't Take The Heat...
Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island… Our competitors became hunters. And the hunted. Owen’s game was way off. And when he finally caught wind of his prey, he totally blew it. And Cody made a new friend who quickly beat the crap out of him. Can anyone say medivac? In a weird and strangely watchable twist, Leshawna, Lindsay, Beth, and Heather turn their paintball guns on each other. It was a full on wrasse for dominance within the females of The Gopher Squad and the Gophers were sent to the bonfire. In the end, however, it was Cody who got the shaft. The Gophers are still the underdogs. Can they bounce back? Or is their goose finally cooked? Find out tonight on Total. Drama. Island!
Iris was sitting in the dining hall talking to Chef and Chris when the others piled in. "Hey Iris can we talk?" Duncan asked he sounds like a nervous kid. "Ha no I have a challenge to get ready for." She said geting up to join the Gophers. "You really upset her. She is only avoiding you because she wants the pain to stop. But you just won't let it go. You had a go thing set up for you bro and ya blew it. " Chris said before standing up to leave the campers to Chef.
Iris pov
Is he stupid  after stopping on my heart you now wanna be friends. No I will not let second place Courtney mess me up. I see how the boys are treating Harold. I stand up and walk over and sat by him. "Hey Harold you ok the boys seem to be all over you." I said patting his back. "Watch it princess what we do to our team is our business." Duncan jumps I laughed. "Oh yes of course it is,but do be careful what you do. You never know who might try something." I said walking away. "I dare you do something sugar tits." He said trying to hurt me. "Oh Duncan please if I wanted to do something....I would have done so already." I said before sitting down.
Chris: Today’s challenge will test your minds, your teamwork, and your skills in the kitchen! You’ll be cooking a three-course meal and serving it to me for tasting. The winners get a reward and the losers will send somebody home. Each team will appoint a head chef to create the theme of the meal and to oversee the cooking. To cook, you need imgredients. Every morning, a truck brings us food. Today’s task starts there.
Geoff became the hed Chef for the bass. I was aboutto volunteer but Heather jumps in. "Heather just remember we lose and its all on you." She glares at me. "We won't as long as everyone does as I say." She said ordering us to grab food. She wanted to make barbecue ribs, orange flombae, pineapple skewers. While in the middle of cooking Heather lost her eyebrows. While in a heated rant she ends up in a freezer. "Well will we let drama queen chill. Let's get to work on the rest of the food." Leshawna said.
Geoff: Okay. We’ve got like, three courses and six people. So everybody partner up!
DJ: I know how to make pasta sauce!
Bridgette: I know how to boil pasta!
[smack]
Harold: Me and Sadie can rock the antipasto. I’m like a black belt when it comes to cutting cheese.
Killer Bass except Harold: [laughing]
Duncan: Cheese.
Harold: What?
Sadie stifles a giggle.
Harold: What?!
Duncan: I guess that leaves you and me on dessert detail.
Courtney: Oh no. No way!
Geoff: Come on, Courtney. For the team.
[harp music]
(Confessional: Courtney)
Courtney: He’s totally unmotivated. And he never washed his hands. He’s so obnoxious. [fast forwarding] He’s completely delusional. [normal] Owning sunglasses doesn’t automatically make you cool. [fast forwarding] If you’re gonna wear sunglasses, at least get some stylish ones. He’s such a poser. [normal] People like that are so annoying. I mean, honestly, who does that? And don’t even get me started on his hair.
(confessional off)
Geoff: [sinister chuckle]
DJ: Uh, where do you want the water, Brid– Oops!
Harold: Aw! Hey! Smooth move, Dorkahontus!
Geoff: Oh, bummer! Better go change, dude!
DJ and Geoff stifled giggles.
(Confessionals Iris)
I honestly felt bad for him but he needs to suffer a bit more. He needs to be at the peak before I can proswade him. So as its always been patience is the only choice. This time I am actually looking forward to end game. *laughs*
*static*
(End of Confessionals)
After a few hours we finally finished and dad was ready for the food. Leshawna put Owen in charge of watching the food while we went out. That was the worst decision on her part.
Chris [ after chewing] : Your antipasto passed the testo. Pass the pasta, please. [chewing, slurp] On a scale of one to ten, fifteen. How will the Gophers respond?
Dad said before looking at us.
Leshawna gasps.
Owen: Oh…
Leshawna: Tell me you did not just eat that entire plate of ribs!
[door swings open]
Chris: Yeah, this looks like it’s uh, been eaten.
Owen: Not all of it. I think there’s a tiny chunk left on that… bone. Over there. Yeah, there.
Chris [after chewing]: You know what? I’ve had worse. Two points!
Owen: Yeah!
Chris: Ooh, close, Owen. But the Bass still lead fifteen to eleven. Time for dessert!
[chewing]
Chris: Ehhhh, six. The Bass have twenty-one, so the Gophers need all ten points just to tie it up. I have to say, this dessert looks like a winner.
[puff]
Leshawna: Oh, that’s not good.
Chris gags and chokes.
"DAD!" I yelled
Owen: Hang on, there! Hah! Yes! Got it! [chuckles]
Beth: Ewww.
Chris: What the heck is this?
Lindsay: It’s Heather’s recipe! [gasps] Oh, my gosh! She’s still in the fridge!
Leshawna: What? Girl was making everyone trip.
Chris: Oh, I hear that.
Owen [gasps] : Oh, the horror!
Heather: You guys are s-s-s-so dead! Is it over?
Chris: It is! The Bass win twenty-one to twelve and it’s not just ’cause I almost died. The ribs sucked, too.
Heather: Great! That’s just great! Why do we keep losing, people? And what is this? I didn’t approve this!
Beth: I-I brought it back as a souvenir. You know, from the other island.
Heather: You did what?!
"For once I agree with her. You dip shit that thing is cursed!" I grabbed her by the collar.
Chris: You mean Boney Island? The deadliest island in Muskoka? The one I specifically said not to take anything from or you’ll be cursed?
Beth: Yeah… I didn’t know! I’ll put it back!
Chris: Okay, the Killer Bass now lead with seven members to the Gophers’ soon to be six. And as promised, the winners will be enjoying a reward tonight. A five-star dinner under the stars.
Killer Bass cheer.
Courtney [laughing] : Okay! Put me down! [angrily] Put me down!
Leshawna: I don’t know about y’all, but Heather has got to go.
Owen: Yeah, but Beth cursed us with that wooden tiki doll thingy.
Leshawna: Mm, true. Dear curse, please hit Heather next. And if possible, hit her upside the head!
I pretend to be possessed standing going to find Heather.
Heather: You know, Lindsay, I could convince the team to vote you off tonight. You were a major traitor. But you did let me out of the fridge. So I’ll give you one more chance if you vote with me tonight. There, see? All better. Oh, and if you ever team up with Leshawna against me again, I’ll cut off all your hair while you’re sleeping. Hey what are you doing in here go away. Iris I mean it stay back. *Iris smacks Heather upside the head* Ow jerk what was that for?
You said rubbing her head. I sit back with Leshawna acting as uf nothing happened.
(confessionals : Screaming Gophers (minus Beth))
Heather :Today’s vote was really hard, but only because there were so many annoying people to choose from.
Lindsay(laughing) : I can’t believe we locked her in the fridge! That was so cool!(stops laughing) She’s not going to see this, is she?
Heather: Leshawna is a royal pain in the butt. And Owen completely screwed up everything for us.
Lindsay: Her eyebrows look so bad! I’d kinda like to vote Heather off, but…
Heather: I vote for Beth.
Owen [burps] : Beth.
Iris "sorry you little dipshit time to go."
(confessionals off)
At the elimination Ceriomony
[dramatic music]
[fire crackles]
Chris: I’ve got seven Gophers sitting in front of me tonight. But only seven fluffy bits of sweet safety in my hands. So good luck. When I call your name, come up and get your marshmallow. Leshawna. Iris. Owen. Gwen. Trent. Lindsay. Heather, Beth. It’s down to you. Whoever doesn’t get this last marshmallow must immediately walk The Dock of Shame and leave on the Boat of Losers. Forever.
[dramatic music]
Chris: The final marshmallow goes to… Heather.
Heather: You heard him. Boat of Losers, that-a-way. That really was stupid of you to take that doll from the island.
Leshawna: Seeya girl.
Chris: That’s it for tonight. And you might wanna burn some sage to get rid of any lingering curse vibes.
Leshawna: Cool. Will Chef give us some sage?
Chris: Nope. So good luck with that.
Iris "I have some." I said annoyed
[wolf howls]
Harold snores
Girls giggle
Courtney and Leshawna: Good morning, Harold.
Harold: Ee!
Duncan: So, learned your lesson yet?
Harold: Yes! Okay! Yes!
Geoff: Oh, we’re gonna need more than that, man.
Harold: I’ll never leave my crusty underwear out again! I swear!
Geoff: What the heck? I believe him.(throws a sack full of underwear at Harold) It was a pleasure doing business with you!
DJ, Duncan, and Geoff laugh.
I found Harold by himself knowing the time was right.
