(Hope you don't mind me sending the ask in this creative(?) way. Have a wonderful day and / or night and take your time with this ask ^-^)

I really don't mind it's so cute!! Thank you for sending a request!! sorry for the late replies guys! it's been hectic around here but rest assured, i'll get to everyone's requests in due time~!

Apple Blossoms

Epel Felmier x Reader ;

[Part of Ritcchan's Potion-Making Trials!] Ingredients : Icicle Mushroom (Hometown Visitation), Ground Cherry Seeds (Spring) "You bet! Our potion's gonna be the best of the bunch!"

"W-Woah! It's so beautiful!!"

The crisp fresh air of the mountains quickly hit your face as you come out of the Dark Mirror, finding yourself in the middle of Harveston's many orchards. Epel followed suit, a huge grin on his face. "Oh, it's great to be back!"

Epel had invited you to come to Harveston with him during the weekends, and how could you resist? You've always wanted to see Harveston and Mount Moln in all of its glory!

"Epel, your hometown is beautiful!" "I know, right?" Epel giggled. "Come on now, let's get to my house! We need to walk past the apple orchards first though, if you don't mind."

You shook your head. "Of course I don't! Come on~"

The two of you walked along the path, admiring all the trees in full bloom. Epel pointed out a few orchards and picked out a few apples for you, and the two of you enjoyed the walk to his house.

"Meemaw! We're here!" "Why welcome home, Epel. I reckon this here fella is yer partner? Nice to meet you dear, my name is Marja. Feel free to look around Harveston, okay?" You happily nod, shaking her hand and looking around the house.

Epel stammered, a light blush tinting his cheeks. "P-partner?! Meemaw, don't go hollerin' round bout mah crush to the village!" Epel whispered into his grandma's ears, while Marja laughed softly. "Come now Epel, man up an' getcho feelins straight wit em! Yer partner's a good person, ya havta be honest an' tell em why you brought em here."

Epel lets out a sigh and nods, turning back towards you. "I know we're here for the spring festivals, but I wanna show you a cool place first!"

---

"We're here!" Epel exclaimed, motioning to a big tree on top of a small hill right behind his house. "I used to sit up here all the time when I was small. It's a great place to have a picnic in, so I packed us some pies from home!"

"You're right, it's beautiful here! I can imagine myself living up here instead of the bustling towns, it's so nice and peaceful here." You nod, sitting below the tree. "Come come! Sit beside me, Epel."

Epel smiles sheepishly, taking a seat next to you. "Gosh, I'm really flattered you think so highly of my hometown. If you'd like, you can come over and visit anytime you want! Just give me a holler when you're here, though!" "Of course! You're the first person I'd tell if I were to come by again!"

The wind fluttered by softly, swaying between Epel's locks of hair carrying flower petals with them, and you find yourself reaching out to caress them, giggling softly at Epel's awestruck look. The boy smiled at your reply, picking up a small flower and placing it on your hair. "Sure. If you ask me though, I really wouldn't mind if you decide to live here instead. Because, well, I have something to tell you..."

Marja looked out the house's windows, setting her sights on her grandson with you by his side. Her eyes crinkled as she smiled at the sight of you and Epel happily chatting away while your hands were intertwined with each other's. For the two Felmiers, it felt like this year's apple blossoms were prettier and livelier than any other years. "That's mah grandson. I knew you could do it."

Ch.90 - The First Stepping Stone

Previous Chapter - Masterlist - Next Chapter

Baler has his first day of work; Kiera suggests a trip into town to make him feel at home.

"Good morning, Simon." Bud nodded at him while leaning against the panel that held up the round pen - a pen for working young or "problem" horses by experienced wranglers on the ranch.

"Good morning, sir," Simon replied, looking over his shoulder to ensure Baler was on his best behavior, putting the decision in his head that Baler would have a much harder time earning his keep if he pissed off Kiera's father.

Especially her mother.

"I have a new stall cleaner for you."

Bud arched a brow at Simon before looking at the roughed-up teenager before him - his clothes nearly tattered and stained by dirt and debris from his time homeless on the street. "A little young to be put on the payroll, huh?"

"He won't be working for money, sir. He'll be working to earn his keep."

"His keep?"

"It was Kiera's decision I'm afraid."

"Say no more. I won't get in the middle of that girl's decisions," Both Simon and Bud chuckled, Bud making eye contact with Baler. "Don't take advantage of her kindness, son. It's easy to lose her trust and twice as hard to get it back."

"O-Okay-"

"That's not what you say," Simon warned in a low tone, slightly nudging his arm with his elbow. "It's yes, sir."

Baler cleared his throat, "Y-Yes, sir."

Bud flashed Simon a reassuring and hopeful smile, "What're you having him doing today?"

"Cleaning stalls, maybe cleaning a few saddles, whichever I think might need done."

"Will Kiera be coming down to join us?"

"She said she will later," Simon replied. "She said she will in the afternoon when it warms up a bit."

Bud nodded, "Alright. I reckon I get to oversee Johnny and Teeter today."

"Best of luck to you, sir," Simon chuckled. "Where's everyone else?"

"I have such a hard time remembering your comrade's names except for John, but they're all with him and a few other wranglers checking the fences in the upper pasture before we push the cattle up. You plan on coming with us when we do?"

"I plan on it. This is my last week of work before my vacation time takes over."

"Good to hear. You deserve a break."

"Thank you. I feel like I need more time here to help out Kiera with the kids and around the house."

Bud couldn't help but smile at Simon's response. A true man, he thought, appreciative of Simon's behavior towards his daughter, eager to see how much of a great father he would become throughout the years as well as being an important figure to Baler. Perhaps a father figure. "You'll be off just in time for Thanksgiving too," He winked. "Say, would you like to come out turkey hunting with me sometime before the holiday? Saw a bunch of 'em on the ridge. A big tom caught my eye and that bastard is big enough to feed this family twice for Thanksgiving." He explained.

Simon chuckled, "Sure. When were you thinking?"

"Well, I was thinking about going out tomorrow morning or this weekend."

"I'll be off after Friday. Saturday morning?"

"Sounds good with me. Don't make Kiera mad between now and then. She won't let you go!" He poked.

Simon couldn't help but chuckle and shrug, "Nah, she's hardly ever mad at me. I've insisted on staying home so much to help her out, she wants me to go do things for myself."

"I'll have to agree with her on that, son," Bud shrugged. "But I'll leave you to it with our new associate." He poked.

"Exciting, yeah?"

"Very," Bud chuckled, walking towards the hitching post his horse was tethered to, mounting up after adjusting his chaps. "Eva is making dinner tonight. You and Kiera should come. We miss our grandkids... Even though we haven't seen 'em in a day."

"We'll be there."

"W-What about me?" Baler dared to ask Simon as he escorted him into the barn.

"What do you mean?"

"The dinner? Can I come?"

"Do you think you should?"

"I mean... What else am I supposed to eat tonight if you and her aren't going to be home?"

"Do you think you earn the privilege to join her parents for dinner tonight when you took advantage of Kiera's hospitality by trying to break into her truck in the middle of the night just to scout out the same advantage in the home of her parents?"

"N-No?"

"We'll see," Simon huffed, already knowing that he'd be toting along another dinner guest. "The decision won't be made until after your work today."

"What am I doing?"

"You'll start by cleaning the stalls that don't have a horse in them. Then, you'll pick out the stalls with horses in them." Simon explained, pointing to the wheelbarrow and manure rake that hung close by.

"Can you show me?"

"It's not rocket science, lad," He scoffed. "You go in there, pick up the shite with the rake, then put it in the wheelbarrow. That's it."

"What do I do when it's full?"

"You take it out that way and dump it in the pile."

"W-Where will you be while I'm doing this?"

"Don't worry about where I'll be," Simon arched his brow, knowing Baler only asked the question to get by as lazily as possible. Unbeknownst to Simon, Baler had only asked Simon this as he was beginning to worry about earning Simon's respect and trust, not wanting him to see Baler fail in a job that was supposed to be simple.

Baler had never worked before and especially never had to be put into a position where he had to earn someone's respect in exchange for a better life.

"Just focus on getting the job done. You have twenty-four stalls to clean."

"O-Ok-" Baler gulped, watching Simon's brow arch as if he was waiting for a better response. "Yes, sir."

"Better."

Four hours later, Kiera greeted Simon at the round pen, smiling as she watched him work with his preferred horse on the ground to keep himself busy as well as increase his bond with the horse, thanking the gelding for keeping his mind distracted every time Simon swung his leg over the gelding's back. Horses really are good for a broken soul.

"Turning into quite the horse whisperer, I see." She smiled, adjusting the carrier that was strapped to her torso, effortlessly carrying both twins at the same time - Jacob on her back and Evie against her chest.

Simon looked her way after he heard her voice, receding his body language to inform the horse that he could break from a trot to a walk, the gelding licking his lips as he approached his handler, Simon petting him between the eyes before he walked towards the fence to meet Kiera, smiling as he leant over to press a kiss to her lips as his free hand cupped the back of Evie's head. "Always trying to better my horsemanship, love," He chuckled against her lips. "You're definitely mum of the year for toting them all the way down here by yourself. Although I wish you would've called me so I could come up and help you. Don't need you falling."

She giggled, "This carrier is a life-saver. It definitely takes the strain off of my back. And, it's not so bad of a walk. Helps me maintain my weight." She poked.

"Stop with that bloody nonsense," He warned. "I don't see a thing wrong with you."

"Mhm," She giggled. "I brought you and Baler some lunch."

"What'd you bring?"

"Guess you'll have to find out," She smiled. "Where's Baler?"

"In the barn. Your father wants us at the lodge for dinner tonight."

"I'm looking forward to it."

"What about the kid?"

Kiera furrowed her brows at his question, "Uh... He was going to come with us?"

"Okay."

"What's going through your mind?"

He huffed, "Are you sure you want him meeting your parents after the shite he pulled last night?"

"Well, would you rather him stay at the house when nobody is home?" She arched a brow.

"No."

"I was thinking about taking him into town to get a new outfit. Do you want to go with me?"

"I'd rather go with you," He sighed, knowing that he couldn't compromise with a decision she had already made. "I don't want you to have to worry about keeping up with our two and something happen with him. Not on my watch."

"Okay, well have him finish up whatever he's doing and meet me back at the house."

"How about you wait here and I'll escort you back to the house?"

"That works. Then you two can sit and eat your lunch before we go into town."

Simon nodded, leading his horse behind him as he walked behind Kiera, entering the barn and watching Baler hastily move to the side to let Kiera and Simon through. "Hi, Miss Kiera."

"How are you, Baler?"

"Working." He nodded, licking his lips of nervousness as Kiera and Simon together made him more nervous than just Simon alone. Even though Simon wasn't as suffocating when he and Kiera were in the same room, but Baler sensed a presence that he didn't want to interfere with.

And that was the presence Simon presented when he and Kiera's babies were in the room. I wish my dad was as protective over me, Baler thought, frowning at the distant memory of never feeling loved and appreciated throughout his childhood.

Kiera nodded as she began looking at the open stall doors, nodding her head in approval at the work he had done, leaving no manure behind as it was clear he was focused on leaving as much shavings behind with no manure left in the stalls. "I, um, I also refilled the water buckets after I finished cleaning out the stalls... I left the doors open so that he could check my work." He explained.

"You did good, lad," Simon complemented, watching Baler nod as it was clear Baler had rarely received complements throughout his life. "How many more do you have left?"

"S-Six, sir. The six being with the horses still in there. I-I was going to do them first, but I'm nervous around horses..."

"That's okay," Simon nodded. "You're done for right now."

"Sir?"

"Let's go. We have to go into town."

Baler nodded, wiping his palms against his jeans as he followed Kiera and Simon towards the house, nervously standing at the front door as he watched Simon help Kiera with the babies, watching how a soft smile spread across Simon's face as he held his son in his arms, watching as Simon seemed to turn off the switch of being a domineering and direct man turned into a soft and supple father, seeming to handle his children as if they were made of glass as he gazed at Kiera with loving eyes, seeming to appreciate her in every moment for not only being his, but being the mother of his children.

It was then that Baler regretted coming off to a bad start with Simon. He didn't want to be rejected by him nor did he always want to fight for his trust and approval.

"Um, Miss Kiera? Where are we going?"

"We're taking you into town to get some clothes. You're coming with us to dinner tonight at my parent's house." She smiled. A mother's smile.

"I am?"

"You worked hard today for your first day. You've earned it."

He forced himself to hide a genuine smile, "Th-Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're going to get you a couple of pairs of jeans, shirts, and socks. Simon will go with you to get your basic stuff." She explained.

"I am?" Simon questioned.

"Well, I don't know anything about underwear and deodorant for boys." She scoffed.

"You sure know about taking mine off." Simon mumbled under his breath, earning a playful smack to his bicep.

"You keep that up and I won't for a while." She glared playfully, watching him roll his eyes at her remark. "That's what I thought."

He smirked at her, gently putting Jacob into the car seat he had sat on the counter, using the overhead light to his advantage to ensure he secured him properly and to keep him off the floor as Kimber was notorious for trying to get into the carrier with either Jacob or Evie. "Can you help Baler get freshened up before we leave?"

"How is he going to freshen up if he doesn't have a change of clothes?"

"Well, there's an extra stick of deodorant and an extra toothbrush in the closet. When we get him new clothes, I'll show him where the shower is so he can get ready for dinner tonight."

"Alright," Simon nodded, adjusting Jacob's carrier closer to the inside of the table to reassure himself that he wasn't too close to the edge while Kiera sat Evie into her carrier, smiling down at the infant as she adjusted the socks on her small feet. Simon gestured towards Baler, leading him towards his and Kiera's bedroom before putting his hand out and telling him to wait at the door while Simon proceeded into the bathroom and to the closet, returning with a stick of deodorant and a new toothbrush. "This is yours. Freshen yourself up before we go into town."

"O-Okay. Where do I go to brush my teeth?"

Simon sighed as he led the kid towards the guest bathroom that was within the hallway, hating the fact that it was next to the nursery, the primal instinct of not wanting Baler too close to his children until he earned his complete trust, knowing that it was going to take a lot of work to break down the wall of trust Baler broke down in the worst way possible. "We're leaving in ten."

"Yes, sir."

Simon nodded, returning into the kitchen to offer his assistance to Kiera. Seeing that she had secured Evie into her car seat, he smirked as he carefully wrapped his arms around her tender abdomen, pressing a kiss to the crook of her neck. "Been waiting to do this all day."

She hummed in amusement, leaning her head to the side subtly to invite him for more kisses to her neck, "Sounds like he respects you more already."

"He's nowhere near having my respect yet, he's just on a stepping stone."

"I think he's growing on you."

Simon scoffed in disagreement.

"You say that now, but you know he's growing on you."

"Like a weed." He joked.

"I mean, I think he's growing on you like Soap did..."

11/8/2023

The sky has been so blue lately - or maybe it just happens to be whenever I take a picture.

Positive thing: I got to play the new Yakuza game.

I played through the tutorial stuff and the first chapter and it's pretty fun so far. I had to adjust to the combat since it's back to the original beat-em-up style as the past games, plus Kiryu is all by himself and not with a big party like Ichiban is in Yakuza 7. It does give it a much lonelier feeling, but I think it suits the story. I'm playing in Japanese so I understand like 70% of it and the other 30% I'm trying to make out through context clues, but it's enough to enjoy it. Plus I'm learning a lot of new vocab which is always a plus.

There's this new gadget system thingy where you can use gadgets in combat and the first one you get is a wire that you can wrap around enemies and fling them around with. It's very Spiderman-esque. I think you unlock more which I'm curious about seeing.

Class was a big drag today. I straight up just kept the Zoom open and only tuned in when there was a mandatory discussion happening, and I was still tired by the end. Most of the time I was chatting with classmate friends on Discord on the side. It seems like a lot of us are going through it this semester. I guess I've also realized that there is just this strong atmosphere of... I don't know what to call it. Bootstrap mentality? Like that but much more subconscious I guess. My professor was sick and she opened the call with her groggy voice apologizing that she was sick, and said something along the lines of "You know, you have your clients and all these things you have to do, and when you get sick it's hard because you need rest and at the same time, everything is going to move on without you if you fall behind."

Which like, true I guess, but it never sits well with me when someone in my field says things like that. I know we live in a society that doesn't prioritize rest at all, and that it's basically being kept together by people who do do all that work, and someone has to do it and it's often thankless and difficult, but where do we strike that balance? What kinda message do we send others about mental health when we make the choice to do that? I know the answer is that a bunch of systems need to be reworked and better funded to allow for more rest, not just for counselors but everybody, but that won't happen so easily.

I see my friends doing the same things, both those in class with me or at their jobs or whatever, and it feels so harrowing that it's this ubiquitous. Just pushing through because it feels like there is no other choice. I've been doing that forever and it literally rots you away to be like that. I know there's a special kind of person who does genuinely thrive in that kind of pressure, but I am not them, and most people I know aren't either.

Oh well. I get to play more Yakuza tomorrow, and a friend is coming over to stay for the weekend as well. I'm mostly looking forward to Friday, where I'm having an end-of-running-group-counseling celebration lunch and then later going to my friend's birthday dinner. I bought him a present I think he'll really like so I hope I'm right. Then Sunday I'm volunteering at the Japanese Festival which I think will be fun too. I'm going to need to be pretty firm about having my own rest time though, because I have practicum Monday and if I don't get rest I think I'll literally be too out of patience with everything to function.

Hi Rhi, happy Thursday :)) Time for Artemis's Thursday Rants and Raves of the Collection of Seijorhi's Works <33

I was going to talk about another drabble this week, but I was going through your masterlist and your duo and trio fics will always win in my mind

So, Coup de Grace is this week's pick

Bokuto, Kuroo and Akaashi are the golden trio, I swear, especially the way you write them - I've said it before and I'll say it again, the way they compliment one another and compensate for what the others lack makes for a great dynamic

In the fic, the beginning of the friendship is enough of a red flag for me (Terushima's party is all I needed to know), but all three of them genuinely come off as nice guys in the beginning, and not the stereotypical type

I like how in this fic, there isn't even the whole slowly losing friends thing, it all happens kind of suddenly, them avoiding the reader - in that same vein, usually there would be enough context clues to hint at the fact that the trio had been the ones causing a rift, but there are no clues (at least for the reader)

And her poor boyfriend - they were actually a semi healthy couple, talking about their problems, compromising, the whole shabang (he has his own issues, but this isn't about him)

I like how none of the three jumped the gun while interacting with the reader (especially Bokuto), like all three were patient and waited for their plan to play out before they made their move, and that alone impressed me

The ending was also satisfying, in a grim sort of way - seeing the darker side of the trio too, like the reader is only safe to an extent, and if she pushes the boundary too much, they don't mind treating her similarly to how her friends and boyfriend were treated

Honestly, 10/10, I loved this fic, and I love how your trio fics are growing in number (and how literally all of them are for the Haikyuu trio - the Sano siblings are a different story, I think I may love them more)

Anyway, have a good weekend Rhi :))

I'll be back again next week, and now that I've mentioned Tokyo Revengers, it'll be on my mind for the next month <33

my problem is that i love so many characters and wanna write for all of them, but i can only write so much so it's easier just to group em together and let them be awful together hfjkdlfkhgfjkd

i also love the line, 'he has his own issues, but this isn't about him' because honestly, that's 95% of the oc's i throw into these fics hahaha

there's still definitely some lingering resentment there that the boys are gonna work through. after all, you did ignore them AND blow them off a bunch so... now's not the time to be difficult.

#hmm #more and more trio fics you say #inch resting #rhi answers #fic asks #coup de grace #artemis32 #ily ily ily

I cannot believe my life. Like, really. I can't believe I get to live this life. And to think I did not want it anymore less than an year ago.

I moved in a new place last weekend, its slightly more expensive than what I was paying before. But it's the most beautiful thing. I don't think people who own their homes have a place as nice as mine. It's luck, really. But also not.

I waited 7 months for this place to be vacated by the previous person. And when I signed the contract, I had not fully realised just how good the place is. The room size, the location, the furniture, the orientation of fittings, everything is just wow.

My last place was nice too, but there were too many issues. Most importantly, it had no ventilation. It bugged. Like, really really bugged me. I need the outdoors as much as I need food. Perhaps more.

I can spend the entire day looking out my window here. There's atleast 3 pigeon couples on the tree outside. And a very annoying crow. And the cafe across my street? It's quite beautiful. It'll be a long time before I visit it cause it's fancy af but the view is nice. The people who come there are interesting to look at. A very peculiar bunch

And the food here is fantastic. I might just furnish it a bit more to make it even more perfect. People spend their entire lives finding a good place and get to have this. This isn't even about money. This is just, not everybody gets it.

And my job? It's wonderful. It's still a job and I still have to work and I still stress about it and and I work beyond my hours sometimes, but the thing is, a stressful day here is an average day at my old place. Really no complaints. My manager(s) are wonderful people, who I have grown to admire and respect even more than I used to before.

I know very well that I'll have to switch in an year or two at max, but I am gonna enjoy this till then. Ofcourse a bigger place will offer me faster growth (will it? I don't really know) but I know I am not going anywhere till I get a really good offer so chill.

And my life, well. I could use some more friends who I don't have to travel hours to meet. This is the only time I wish I knew more people in this city. This is why I hate remote jobs (and yet love mine). Or I had the guts to reach out to the people who I do know here. I just feel lie they wouldn't want to hangout with me. Or why would they want to hangout with me. And I am a really cool person to hangout with - not because I am fun or know fun things to do - it's just cause I am, okay. You'll know when you hangout. Gosh, em, shutup.

And it would have been even nicer if things with him weren't so complicated. But this is okay too. Not great, but good. Not the best, but nice. Not perfect, but not bad either.

Things really are good. And it's just a lil unbelievable sometimes. But as mych as I wanted to recod my sadness, I want to record my happiness to.

You know how they say this is gonna be my year - 2024 really is gonna be my year.

Now that I think about it, I've become quite a boring person to hangout with. What with not having anything to complain about and all.

Ah, well.

When the Sun met the Moon

Dialogue prompt. 1- " Did I enter an alternate universe or did you actually just smile at me?" || Fluff ||

Beautiful as the sky is, that day, it was extraordinarily beautiful with soft colour of purple and pink while the sun decided to bid its goodbye and corner away until a day new day arrives.

But that day, it was more beautiful because of the crescent of the moon and the sun meeting from the opposite ends of the world, one rising while the other drowning but only for a little time, they were both present at the same time.

It's funny how we resonate with the love between the sun and the moon when sun and the moon can't even be present in the sky at the time but only in exceptional moments like these, but, in reality the one we love, we always want to be near them. If we truly resonated with the love of the sun and moon, the results would be catastrophic.

And yet, here was another lover, an actual true sun.

"Harry, I'm giving you five seconds, If you don't get out of the bed, I'll throw you out of the window," Ron threatened.

Harry groaned "I don't want to go outside."

"Stop being a bitch about everything. It's a fine day outside, everyone's out by the lake, just get out of your fucking bed."

"But I don't want to," Harry buried his face under his blankets only for it to be pulled up by Ron.

"Really?"

"You can't just escape life." Ron sighed.

Harry sat down straight, taking the blankets away from Ron "I don’t escape life,"

"But you do. You do it everyday." Ron replied.

Harry looked at Ron standing at the opposite end of his bed with a hopeful gaze which is honestly annoying to Harry.

Harry stood up groaning, mumbling something to himself about how he couldn’t believe he was doing this while Ron did his victory dance for which he practically had to throw pillows at him to make him stop dancing.

Minutes later Ron had convinced Harry to come to the Black lake with him where most of the Eighth years student's were gathered, mostly the ones who enjoyed being outdoors before curfew.

"Why are we here again ?" Harry asked pushing his hands into his jeans pocket.

"Well if you had not tried to escape life, you'd actually know that we do a bonfir every Friday night with some music. It's sort of a part of making peace and getting along."

Harry hummed "Who all gather?"

"Just us bunch, a couple of Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and few Slytherins- you know all of them so don't worry." Ron answered.

The leaves crunched beneath his feet as they walked furthermore towards where the light was glowing and even if Harry felt like running back away to stay in his bed all night and probably just sleep away the entire weekend, Ron won't let him.

"Hello, everyone- We have a new friend-"

"If this isn't the famous Harry Potter-"

"Blaise"Ron scolds.

Harry rolled his eyes in secrecy. This is why he never liked leaving his room anymore. It was tiring fitting into the title of the "famous Harry Potter"

"Can I go already?" Harry mumbled to Ron.

Ron looked at Harry by his side and he felt pity but he knew Harry needed the exposure, he had been sulking away in the regrets of the war for far too long.

"It'll be good- I promise. Just do this one night and if you don't like it, I will never force you." Ron said.

Harry huffed next to him and then followed towards the inner circle where the logs were set on the ground for people to sit on and almost everyone sitting with a partner, friend or a significant other.

Ron quite surprisingly had taken his seat next to Blaise, who was tuning his guitar (oddly) and though it seemed weird, Harry knew Ron was telling Blaise off on something.

Harry settled down awkwardly alone on one of the logs and allowed the warmth of the fire surge through him. He instantly felt his body getting warmer and his mood uplifting.

Until, Draco Malfoy walked into the circle and looked for a place to sit and obviously, the only seat available was next to Harry.

"Can I?" Draco asked pointing to the empty seat besides Harry.

Harry shrugged "It's not like you can sit anywhere else"

Draco nodded then settled down next to Harry and crossed his legs soon.

They both were past their phase of stupid rivalries and were set on the path of acknowledging the other but they still didn't see eye to eye on many things but they were working on it which helped them to give another one a chance but there were several moments where they would simply remain ignorant or silent in others presence and right now was among one of those moments. They were sitting adjacent to one another for a very long time now, for the sun to fully set and night to take over but they hadn't spoken even a single word, however, had heard a couple of songs Blaise played.

While everyone chattered in their small circle or with their partners but they remained silent yet Draco could sense the tension, so could Harry but only he chose to break the ice "First night?"

Harry nodded "yeah- You?"

"Second. I don't like being in crowds,"

"Me either." Harry replied .

Draco nodded next to him in acknowledgement then as his eyes followed up to Ron and Blaise being cozier than usual he decided to ask another question.

"How many of all of these people do you think are dating?"

"Take a wild guess."

Harry rubbed his hands together then followed the sight of every set of couple on the log of woods "Hannah is definitely dating Matheo."

Draco frowned, "Fair enough."

"So is Celeste and Mache,"

"Really?"

"Look at their legs."

Draco hummed agreeing.

"What about Theo there ?" Draco asked.

"He's definitely hitting on her but the guy on the next log is also planning to hit on her." Harry replied.

Draco was impressed "quite an insight you have,"

"Tell me, you think Luna and Neville are together?" Harry asked turning faintly to Draco.

"They could've been if Neville wasn't cuddling his plant right now"

Harry chuckled beside him making Draco turn to see his short laugh.

"You think Ron and Blaise are together ?" Draco asked.

Harry shook his head, “Ron wouldn’t hide it from me if they were together.”

“And you’re really sure about that? What if he’s keeping his dating life private from you?” Draco asked curiously.

Harry shook his head then pointed at them discreetly “I know Ron’s dating language, that’s his flirting language,”

“So you’re a hundred percent sure?” Draco asked turning his head completely towards Harry.

“Definitely.” Harry replied.

Draco nodded.

“If you’re so sure about who’s dating and who’s not, judge me,” Draco smirked.

Harry raised his eyebrows in the acceptance of a challenge, “Okay,”

“I think-you are ready to kill the person sitting next to you.”

Draco shook his head, “Come on, be honest.”

Harry huffed out a breath and leaned forward so he could look at Draco who had leaned forward to be closer to fire.

“I think, you’re just waiting for the right person to come along.”

Draco hid his smile,”Really?”

Harry hummed in agreement.

“And where do you think I can find the right person?”

Harry thought for a moment, his mind looping around in spins of every time he felt his traitorous heart beating faster for Draco but had never been able to say it out loud, but only in his dreams. He let out a shuddered breath and in his head ran words of encouragement, ‘this is your moment’.

“Next to you maybe,”

Draco stared at the fire, his eyes reflecting the orange and yellow of the fire and his face looking softer than a petal in the light of the flame. He noticed the way his lips quirked up a bit until he was full fledged smiling at Harry, unable to control the blood that rushed to his face making him pink but he didn’t speak anything and so Harry decided he would.

“Did I enter an alternate universe or did you actually just smile at me?”

Draco groaned, still smiling and nudged Harry out of the log of wood.

“You had to ruin the moment, didn’t you?” Draco shook his head.

Laughing Harry took his seat back ignoring the little attention he had managed to grasp.

“I can’t help it- Its a default in me.”

Draco tried controlling his laughter but he couldn’t after a while and broke out in laughter that remained soft yet purely contagious and it made Harry laugh himself, once again. Hearing Draco laugh was the best thing he did all week, hell even entire month or maybe the best thing he did in years and it made his heart swell with what he felt for Draco. It made him think of all the sounds in the world, the most beautiful of them all but this, his laugh, it was more beautiful than anything he had ever heard.

And in the presence of each other, they forgot that everyone else existed and that was because perhaps it was easier to escape everyone while they were each other. It was a moment within a moment and they could live infinite of them.

Like said, the sky was extraordinarily beautiful that day and it was because the Sun had met the moon.

I'll be finishing off the remaining dialogue prompts with/without requests. Feel free to drop a request or not from the list..xx

every time I think about what I have to do to make myself feel less stressed, the scream from Immigrant Song goes off in my head (but it's sharper than what's actually in the song, so it really sucks)

I'm going to try to real quick just list out the stuff I have to do to wrangle my brain

roughly in order of priority:

guest lecture (+slides) for the psylx class on monday (there will be no pre-class time to prep for it; has to be done tonight)

pay (and file) taxes ASAP

call photographer for wedding album ASAP (not actually urgent but it's been on my list since like. november.)

read and make slides for two papers for tuesday

post grades for discussion and reading comments

read article summaries, post grades

respond to the person's email from like two weeks ago at this point about the project we were supposed to start last term

send email to CW folks to apologize profusely and say I can't do next year (not like they would hire me back after this year!!! gotta beat 'em to the punch!!!)

that's what I wanted to get done this weekend because like. I am so behind on it, except for the class stuff, which I would like to continue NOT being behind on. feels like a reasonable amount (when you consider I have three students). like enough to have an actual weekend for part of it. but now... lolfuck.

and of course there was more stuff I wanted to do both late last week when I was dealing with migraines/sludge brain (which I'm now realizing is pre-migraine brain) and this weekend

review code for stats consult meeting on monday

maybe reschedule the meeting now that we're apparently not meeting for that paper until at least friday?

read and make slides for thursday's papers

finish the (2-3, I think) Q1 contracts???? at least?????

read the two articles for the other paper

put all of the refs for section 2 as zotero refs

see when RA is able to get responses collated so I can do basic stats on them

continue collating the edits that need to be done on the done chapters

finish up sections of ch 8 on language nests and nicaraguan sign

get the other edition of the experiment programmed and set up to run online with student participants

give lab UGs first crack at being paid to record stimuli for the next-next iteration

if we still need speakers, RA can draft a flyer

read something out of any of the books I have out from the library because theoretically they're useful for my research

do a little bit of digging on how to do a word-learning study with school-age kids

re-pot the aloe and orchid and a bunch of spider plant offshoots

other self-care things like doing yoga and taking really long walks outside since it's finally nice out this weekend

it's hard to do things when your executive functioning is shot and you're overwhelmed by "okay I have to ... OPEN??? documents???? god" because apparently right now that is too many steps. like I've realized I literally have to list out the things I need to open to do something right now BEFORE I EVEN OPEN THEM. like "oh shoot I forgot I said I would give a guest lecture on my current projects next week, I need to write some slides for that" means stress about when is the class, where is the class, did I say I'd do it monday or wednesday, how do I want to talk about what I'm doing, what did I give them as an example to read, etc etc etc, which means I need to very purposefully think through how I would find out the answers to all those questions, and by the time I've done that, well, there goes a bunch of brainpower. fewer things can get done today. guess I'm sacrificing the grocery store until tomorrow or sth.

i mean it all comes down to how I'm an overambitious idiot who was like oh fuck yeah I'll take on all these projects and do these things because it's gOoD fOr My CV and/or possible non-ac aspirations, and then I go oh no this was a terrible mistake when all of them are due at the same fucking time (and the stuff I had to put off is now coming back around to also have to be done at the same time). I really do need to have that punch card of "say no to nine things and you can have an ice cream" I saw on twitter yesterday. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

To Do List:

What's up, my Herd of Nerds?

Anyway, as you can tell, tomorrow is AU Sunday. But, because it's one after a 'my input' one, it's a follower input AU day! Yay!

So, send me your AUs and I'll put all of em in a hat to pick one randomly. The winner is picked and posted and we'll all try and make headcanons about your AU.

Done:

Zombie Apocalypse AU :: (https://hermitcraftheadcanons.tumblr.com/post/618314308275863552/zombie-apocalypse-au-masterpost)

Pirate AU ::

Currently In The Raffle:

-Toy Story AU.

-Ever After High/Descendants/Vaguely 'nex gen priness' AU.

-Eldritch Horror AU :: Or if that's a bit too out there, a more normal Monster AU. I don't care, but in my heart, I know Cleo is some kind of eldritch horror. Zombie is far too easy.

-Eldritch Monster AU! Hermits are all Lovecraftian horrors who all individually decided that they wanted to pretend to be normal and are all trying to hide their otherworldliness. I also feel like Mumbo or X or someone as the one actually "normal" player on the server would work well. Most hermits don't know that everyone else isn't normal either, but some find out about friends maybe.

-Rabid Debate Club AU :: Random weird au idea where it's basic hs/uni au but like two of them try to start a debate club, then invite some friends just so there's enough people; cut to like two months later, it's all the hermits just fighting over whether or not pineapple should go on pizza or not lol it isn't very good i'm sorry but ya know rabid debate club AU.

-Animal/shapeshifting AU :: (Suggested Twice.) Every hermit can shapeshift into one token animal. (If it's something like "dog," they can only turn into one breed and color of dog, EXAMPLE: doc can shift into a black sable belgian malinois, but not anything else.)

-Wedding Planners AU :: Hermits work in various unrelated businesses such as a bakery, flower shop, etc., but see each other semi-often bc they're semi-often called upon to work together by another hermit's wedding planning business (obvs if you couldn't tell i know absolutely nothing abt wedding planning & businesses n shit lol but it's the /concept/ of it yannknow)

-Avatar: The Last Air Bender AU. (Suggested Thrice.)

-Fusion AU :: (Also suggested by Anon.) (Suggested Twice.) What if Hermits could fuse with each other? (Viva and Jumbo fused into MumboJumbo.)

-SCP AU :: The hermits have spooky powers and are kept locked up bc of it (or they have to keep the world safe from monsters and cursed objects!)

-RPG AU :: I feel like someone already thought of that but I am just wondering about it lately :p -🍋

-Adventure Time AU :: The hermits live in a post-apocalyptic world and the Lich (bad guy) is making everything decay. They need to gather all the gems (belt colours) to unlock the Enchiridion (a book) and have one wish each granted from Prismo (multiverse wish granting dude) before the Lich does. Only 4 elements can enter the multiverse: Slime (The Lich & Jevin), Redstone (Tango or Mumbo?), Ice (Stress), and Dirt (Grian, much to his dismay). Only the elementals can see the book. Grian's the protagonist with his sidekick Scar. He originally started collecting the belts because they were shiny but eventually decided to read the book and find out what they were for when Scar said he didn't see it. Doc, False, and Iskall are major obstacles because they don't believe the book exists.</p>

-Total Drama Island AU.

-Magical Girl AU :: Zedaph's the lead magical girl and rounds up a bunch of other magical girl hermits.

-Pokeman AU :: What are the Hermit's roles in this world? Who's the Champion, Elite Four. Are they scientists? Trainers? Do they compete in competitions, do they specialize in types? Who's everyone's starter? Has anyone encountered any legendaries?

-College AU

-High School AU

-Wizard101 AU :: I (🦊) recently got this AU idea and recently started going off somewhere with it in terms of writing, but, like, Hermitcraft meets Wizard101. Tons and tons of magical shenanigans, monster hunting, and idk what else.

-Magic AU

-My Hero Academia AU :: Headcanons can be about which hermits would have what quirks and occupations based on them.

-So I'm writing an AU where there's a second game of Demise but 5 years later. So far the first 2 hermits (Joe and Xisuma) have died, and their dead forms are cracked with an arrow in his chest (Xisuma) and cyborg (Joe). So since it's Saturday, I'm looking for what some skins would look for.

-City AU :: I mean this is really just a normal everyday AU.

-School AU.

-Terraria-Minecraft Fusion AU :: Who chooses what class? what events do each hermit prefer? how to they deal with the world infections? preferred biomes? Favourite NPCS? It has potentiallllll.

-70s/80s Teen Horror AU :: (like Stranger Things, Carreie, The Lost Boys, Halloween, etc.) -🦇

-Demi-God AU :: Sort of like percy jackson (everyone being the children of different gods from all different cultures.)

-Supernatural AU

-Marching Band AU :: Xisuma is the band major and all the show music is the remixes. I need to come up with some ideas for uniforms. Outfits and flags for the colorguard too.

-Different Eras AU :: (Suggested Twice.) All the hermits are from different time periods or eras. Like Wels is from the mediveal/dark era, Mumbo is from 1890-1920's, Iskall is from 2030, TFC is from 2020(?), Cleo is from 2130, etc!!! Like the mobs/animals became feused with humans, is when the mob players came from.

-Star Trek AU :: Like maybe they could be on one ship and each have different roles like engineers or doctors? I don’t know if this has been suggested but hope you enjoy! - 🐦

-House Mates AU :: ApartmentAU but scaled down?

-Atlantis AU :: (Could be merged with Mermaid AU???)

-Fighting Game AU :: Some influences would be Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Ultra Instinct, that kind of stuff.

-Time loop AU :: The hermits each have to deal with their own time loop.

(All those above in red are from our community's lovely Anons!)

-Superhero/superpower AU :: They each have a unique power/powerset that is in some way connected to their personality. (ie Mumbo *could* control electricity because of his love of redstone) Some Hermits may even choose to be "villains" and prank their other servermates. If you need power ideas, I've got a couple. (12u3ie)

-Daycare AU :: The recap peeps are the caretakers :P (-@tikauniverse.)

-Incredibly Long Cross Country Train Ride AU :: they all are in the same train car, telling stories of where they’re going, backstories.)

-Stuck In An Airport AU :: pretty similar to train au but they can be going diff places.

-Doctors AU :: they’re all doctors working at the same hospital.)

-Circus AU (Also suggested by an Anon.) (Suggested Twice.)

-Spy AU (Also suggested by @shadeswiftdraws.) (Suggested Twice.)

-Runaways AU :: The hermits are all teenagers who have run away from home, they all live on the streets until TFC takes them in. Head canons can be about backstories, living on the streets, or when they’re with TFC.

-Criminals and Police Officers AU

(-@lookitsspacekween)

-Dancer AU :: I mean, I already got a list kind of planned out, but headcanons for why specific styles are chosen would be appreciated! :) (usedtobelucythefallenangel)

-Broadway/Musicals Hermits AU :: The hermits are all casts of various musicals and when this newly-built theater opens up they all fight for which musical gets to play in it first (they have a riff-off maybe?) musicals mainly included are Hamilton, BMC, DEH, SiX, Beetlejuice, etc (feel free to add more!) (-@heyitsroby.)

-DnD AU (Also suggested by Anon.) (Suggested twice.)

-Mermaid AU :: In honor of the end of Mermay

-Space exploration AU :: There could be different ships, command centers, aliens.... Maybe someone could even get stranded/crash on a new planet? Who knows, could be fun.

-Paranormal/ghost hunter AU :: A couple Hermits could be the ghost hunters going to haunted locations to prove/disprove their hauntedness, others could be camera crew, owners of haunted buildings, or even the ghosts themselves.

-Camping/Vacation AU.

-Summer Cottage AU :: They all spend summers/weekends along the same shoreline and do different summer activities together. Outdoor fun and shenanigans!

-Space AU :: like star trek or similar.

-I would say evil clone au but I think that's pretty much the entire Hermitcraft tumblr right now lol. (Suggested twice.)

(-@shadeswiftdraws.)

-Magic AU :: Magic exists and all the hermits have powers. They can also summon a weapon but what that weapon is depends on the hermit. I'm thinking it'll take place in a sort-of Demise 2 in S7 with a big war. So far I've got: Grian - Cloning himself to his different personas (each has a different power). Xisuma - Making barriers, teleporting, and transforming into different mobs. Scar - Making mutant plants & boosting other hermits' attack & health. (-@datsaltyperson.)

-Demon AU :: Something enters the overworld and turns into a supernatural style-demon through Dimentional Distortion. Who gets posessed first, who goes crazy, and who actually kills it? Honestly I think that, if anything, Tango would know how to gank it, for obvious reasons. (-@fireflower-dusk.)

-High Street AU :: Everyone owns a different shop on the same street or some run a shop together (-@violets-arepurple.)

-Cat AU :: Either they're were always cats, or Hels turned everyone, including himself, into a cat, and they have to survive and overcome challenges in the Season 7 world. An example of a challenge would be Cub's a Sand Cat(the cats that always look like kittens no matter how old they are and live in deserts), and everyone's not sure if he can actually swim, so they have to find a way for him to get around without involving water. (-@scp10000.)

-How about a secret AU.. Every hermit has their big secrets and when Grian joined. He doesn't really know anything about those secrets even till season 7. Not many hermits talked to him in S6 anyway.. Mumbo was the closest to him so they would have regular chats For Iskall is mostly business related things Grian wants to know why so he set out on a quest to force the others to at least talk to him so he wouldn't be lonely. (-@babylightstudentbiscuit.)

-Hermit Family AU :: Xisuma is very busy dad but when he isnt busy the kids and younger hermits annoying the hell out of him. Grian once asked to use Xisuma's computer and crashed the whole thing trying to download illegal gamesites and get money off the internet. Mumbo and his trains run through the entire house and Xisuma trips on them daily. (-@gamerutx.)

-College AU!! But they are not students. THEY ARE THE TEACHERS (-@ivi-prism.)

Ones I planned to do anyway but Hermitblr Hivemind and all that:

Battle of The Bands AU: i believe u once mentioned a bands/ battle of the bands au... thats my jam... (Anon.)

Hello! I'm going to the faire in fifteen days (I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED) and I was wondering what shows there are not to miss this year? I already know I'll be at all of the jousts, queen's court, and finale, but was wondering if there are any other shows that I shouldn't miss?

AAAAAAAAAAA I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO BE BACK!!

First off, I suggest going both days of the weekend if you’re able. In order to thin out attendance at any given show, they’ve structured the schedule so that most super cool performances are competing with some other super cool performance. For example, Disasterpiece is at the same time as one of the two in-house music groups this year. Likewise, Teatime is at the same time as the other in-house music group. All four of these acts are right before a Joust, meaning that you will have to leave one early in order to get to the other on time, or risk being late for the other.

My personal recommendations? Well, as you said, Queen’s Court is a must. And be sure to get there in time for the whole thing, pre-show and all, because to be quite frank, the pre-show is generally more entertaining than the main show, or at the least as entertaining. I don’t believe that there is anything resembling Boons and Favours this year, so there’s not even anything competing with it.

Just after Queen’s Court is the Gaming Joust, which is an innocent joust in which nothing goes wrong (as far as I know), and is thus not a plot show, which is something to be aware of.

I am notorious for caring very little about out-of-house acts at PARF as compared to in-house acts, with a few exceptions. The archetype of this exception, Rowan and the Rose, is not present this season. However, the other duo of which Rowan Thorn (Arthur Rowan, head writer) is a part, Two Bard Party, is, in fact, there this season. Now, I don’t know whether you’re going the weekend of the 10th and 11th, or the 17th and 18th, because I wasn’t looking at my askbox often enough to be able to tell when this arrived. If you’re going the 17th and 18th, you may be out of luck as far as Two Bard Party goes, as that is the one weekend they are listed on the website as not being present. But the Daily Writ for that weekend does list them, so plans might have changes and website not updated, which would be on-brand. Regardless, I recommend this group most highly. Geeky folk music at its finest. Rowan in particular has an incredible knack for writing songs about very specific things in specific stories and telling them so well and with such good music (often courtesy of the group’s other member, Randal Piper) that one does not need to know a damn thing about the subject of the song to be completely blown away by it. If they’re present your weekend, super duper mcfreaking recommend.

Whose Jest Is It Anyway was my favorite non-plot show back in 2012 and 2013, and I never quite forgave them for getting rid of it (well, the real issue was the lack of an improv-track show through which to get to know those characters, and that was solved with the introduction of Disasterpiece, but the point still stands). But now it’s back! It’s a half hour of short-form improv, somewhat filtered through characters, and it’s just a lot of fun.

For something quiet and small, Mags Cockburn at the picnic grove is lovely.

I definitely enjoy the music of the out-of-house group Wine and Alchemy, and my mom enjoys it even more, but their fusion world music doesn’t seem to be for everyone. Or maybe the masses just don’t care about music in languages they can’t understand.

Judging by the timing of your move from PA, the show you’re likely least familiar with is probably Disasterpiece, although that’s surely not giving you and your youtube-watching enough credit. If you haven’t watched any previous Disasterpieces, here’s a handy playlist of all the ones that made it on the magical Tube of You. It’s the spiritual successor to Rumple’s tragic backstories, taking a modern story that’s at least moderately well known and adapting it for a half-hour slot in Faire-style telling, but with an added element of everything going wrong. This is the show that, starting in 2018, fixed the issue of a lack of shows through which to gain an understanding of the improv track characters. In 2019, it also had an overarching plot throughout the season, which was SO COOL, but of course the individual performances could still be appreciated as one-offs. There’s an overarching plot this year, too, and videos of these shows can be found on the parf-fan facebook (because I haven’t gotten to cross-posting them on here yet, and I’m not putting ‘em on youtube until my previous years are all up because I will NOT be mucking about with chronology and organization in such a manner on that platform). Really super duper hecking recommend.

At the same time as Disasterpiece is Mags to Rich’s, the in-house asterisk group this year. It’s a duo, and if you’ve ever enjoyed an in-house asterisk group recently, you’re sure to enjoy this. I’ve only seen them once, because same time as Disasterpiece, but I wish I were able to see it more. If I were able to go more than one day a weekend, I would. Jules and Leigh Ann are so good.

Variety Royale is the Chess stand-in, and a good show for witnessing interaction between the characters. It’s an in-universe competition between a bunch of out-of-house acts, largely non-musical, and the lineup changes weekly. It’s enjoyable, though I do usually feel a little nervous about proximity, as there’s little else going on at the time to thin out the patrons.

Teatime is a MUST. It’s Sir William Pickering as portrayed by Jonathan Handley and Sir Walter Roderick Kensington as portrayed by Alex Stompoly sitting on Swashbuckler stage throwing shade and talking shit for thirty minutes. It is GLORIOUS, it is HILARIOUS, it GIVES ME LIFE, and I love them so much.

At the same time is Music With Her Majesty, the other in-house music group. I have not yet attended this show, more’s the pity, because Teatime is different every week, and I want to film it as much as possible. But I know the group is wonderful, for two reasons. Once, they’ve performed at Finale in Pub Song a couple times, and have been excellent. Two, they’re a in-house music group at PARF, which means the OF COURSE they’re excellent and highly enjoyable, that’s how that works!

Ultimate Joust is also a little nerve-wracking as far as proximity goes, and I’ve thus only attended twice. I’d very much like to go a little more, though, because it is Absolutely Necessary to the plot and character stuff this year, but in a completely different way than is usually is. I’m not saying anything else, but you really do have to experience it.

And of course, the closing show, which I have been calling Finale in Pub Song, which has not been catching on which is some serious bullshit because hello it’s perfect. As my name for it indicates, it is a blend of the Pub Sing (which I have never experienced personally before, as it takes place at the same time as Ultimate Joust, and I’ll wager you’ve never experienced it either for the same reason, so here’s a channel the content of which is approximately half Pub Song) and Finale in Song. It is not the traditional Finale as we know it, with a host(s) from the cast and an overarching theme or conflict (NOT THAT THERE WAS AN OVERARCHING THEME OR CONFLICT AT ALL EVER IN 2019 FOR SOME UNFATHOMABLE GODFORSAKEN REASON WTF) that changes every week. Rather, it is hosted by the Musicians of the Shire, and closely resembles Pub Sing, but does have a few non-music out-of-house acts, and sometimes an in-house music group, too. I do like traditional Finales as we think of them more that this, but this makes sense for the season, and is certainly enjoyable.

Pro tip, after Finale in Pub Song ends, just hang around in the audience are a for a while until the exiting crowd thins. Otherwise, six feet will be utterly impossible.

If you let me know specifically which day you’re attending (probs via messaging), I can tell you what I’ll be wearing and you can come say hi to me if you want. I would love that! You’re the only other Faire youtuber who seems to care about main season plot, and your videos have filled an important and specific niche, and I appreciate them so much, and also ur tumblr is cool.

Threaten to lie and accuse my kids of damaging your car? I think I'll keep my camera footage of your car actually being hit. (TL;DR @ the bottom)

I was living in an apartment with just myself and my two daughters (twins). There was no assigned parking and myself and the people who lived below me often ended up parking in spots fairly close to each other. I had just purchased my first non "beater" car so I was being very cautious about how I parked, not bumping into anything, parking too close to the line etc. The neighbors, however, constantly parked right on the edge, crooked, sometimes over the line etc.

One night I came home from work and all the spots in front of the apartments we lived in were empty. I remembered this because it was odd and kind of a "cool, I don't have to squeeze in or park a mile away" moment. The next morning me and my girls leave to go grocery shopping. My neighbors car is parked next to ours and there is a very large, noticeable scratch and dent on its door. It honestly looked like someone had intentionally slammed their door into it repeatedly.

We get home and are carrying our groceries up the stairs (it takes a few trips). After the last trip I'm in the doorway and one of my daughters comes racing up behind me "Mom, there's a lady asking *other daughter's name*a bunch of questions even though she said she can't talk to her" (I'm big on the don't talk to strangers thing). So I head down and ask what I can do for her and the conversation basically goes as follows (M= me, N=neighbor, NBF = neighbor's boyfriend/husband):

Me: Can I help you?

N: I think your kid may have hit my car with your car door. Maybe she didn't but she refuses to answer me so she seems guilty.

Me: Well first of all, my daughter doesn't know you and she does not have to answer you. In fact, I'm going to ask you to not speak to my daughters unless I'm present or I give you permission. Secondly, my daughters are 10, I don't allow them to get into my car without me. I can assure you, they haven't hit your car. In fact, I always stress to them to be careful when opening their door because people often park close. When do you think this happened?

N: Last night. And you're not with your kid every time they open a door, no one is. It could have happened when they were getting something out of it.

Me: Well since I live on the third floor, I actually don't let my kids go get things out of the car without me. I'm just not comfortable being unable to get to them quickly if something were to happen. And last night we parked before you got home and remained parked all night until we left this morning for groceries, the dent was already there when we left, so it wasn't my car that hit yours, sorry.

N: Your car is white and the paint left on my door is white, it's obviously yours. Your kids did this.

Me: *I point out that there isn't a single scuff on any of my doors, including the inside that would have hit. I also open my door and show her that where my door would hit her car door is above where her damage was (I have an SUV and she had a small, low to the ground sedan)* So even if you don't believe me that my kids aren't allowed in my car unsupervised, it couldn't have been my car that did this damage.

N: *Begins getting very angry and loud at this point* I don't care! You're the only one around here with kids I see them almost hit other cars all the time! And you park too close to other cars! You need to start parking further away. If it happens again I'll get your insurance involved.

Me: Okay we're done here. Do what you think you need to. *I start to head up stairs and her boyfriend comes out and blocks my way*

NBF: What'd she say?

N: *yelling angrily* She's trying to say it wasn't them! She's trying to lie and say her kids don't get in the car without her.

NBF: That's bullshit! We seen them almost hit lots of cars!

Me: You need to move. I've explained to her that it couldn't have been my car. You need to get out of my way now and let me pass.

NBF: Nah! It was yours! The paint is white! You got kids! We seen em hit other cars!

Me: You literally just said you've seen them almost hit other cars now you're saying you've seen them actually hit cars. Neither is true. *at this point I simply move to the next stairwell over and start heading up*

N: *screaming at me* No! You're need to take responsibility for what your kids do! If you're not going to pay me I need your insurance information NOW!

Me: You don't need and are not getting my insurance information because I wasn't involved in any kind of accident or contact with your vehicle. You really need to stop screaming at me. We both pay a lot to live here, as do all of our neighbors, no one needs to hear irate screaming in the parking lot.

N: We saw your kids do it! We are going to call the cops and we're going to tell everyone here how your kids hit their cars too! Anyone who has a scratch is going to know to come to you. *At this point I turned the voice record feature on on my phone*

Me: That was the first time you've said you saw my kids do that. You are literally making things up now. You cant go around door to door here, it's against community rules in the lease that everyone has to abide by. And you can't just go around lying because you want someone to fix your car.

N: You're going to take responsibility, or we will tell everyone you hit their cars!

I shut the door and called the police myself to explain the situation because after they lied and changed their story to that they actually saw my kids hit their car I was worried they would make that report (the apartment complex management wasn't there on weekends but I told them the following Monday. They assured me that they couldn't do what they threatened and told me not to worry about it and said they'd give them a verbal warning). The police came and I played the recording for them and showed them how my car had no damage and my door didn't even line up with their damage. The neighbors went inside and shut their door when they saw the police pull up. The police basically told me I had nothing to worry about and it sounded more like they were trying to get someone to cover their damage since they didn't know who did it and were trying to use intimidation to get me to cave. They knocked on the neighbor's door and explained to them that they cant physically stop me from trying to get into my apartment or harass me and that they were going to give me a report because it sounded like they may be trying to commit insurance fraud. They attempted to tell the officers that they saw my kids hit their car but they weren't having any of it.

After that, I started taking pictures and video of my car and theirs every time I parked. A couple times they came out yelling that I'm not allowed to "film their car without permission". I just blew that off. That got really tedious but it was clear they weren't letting go of their grudge against me and my kids so I invested in a cheap security camera. I put it in the window facing the parking lot below. I would skim it really fast overnight or if I was parked during the day for several hours (I just sped it up really fast looking for when their car parked etc.)

One day I pulled up and they were out on their porch. I started to walk up stairs and they made snarky comments like "oh you're not going to get out and video everything? I actually wanted them to know that my car was still being filmed so they knew they couldn't make crap up so I said in the friendliest non sarcastic tone I could muster "Nope. Don't need to. I have a camera in my window doing it for me." This was a mistake because they started flipping out demanding to know where the camera catches and ranting that I can't film them on their porch (the camera didn't catch their porch) and demanding that I show them where all was being filmed and that if I didn't take it down they'd have me arrested, blah blah. I mentioned that they'd already been warned by the apartment complex management to stop contacting me and that I really didn't want to have to report them but if they continued to harass me I would.

Fast forward a few months and a large service van backs into their parked car and drives off (it caused significant damage). My camera caught it all. They actually knocked on my door asking if it had. And honestly, had they been polite I probably would have helped them out but they basically just immediately started demanding that I check my camera and that if I wouldn't it was probably because it was me blah blah blah. I let them know that I would be deleting the footage and not to contact me again. They tried to say that if I did it was a crime since it was evidence of a crime and they were going to call the cops on me blah blah. Nothing else ever happened, but it's one of the few times in my life I have ever not helped someone when I was in a position to and I don't feel bad at all.

TL;DR: Crazy neighbors threaten to lie and say my kids are damaging vehicles causing me to need to purchase a security camera to make sure they can't -- same neighbors have someone hit their vehicle damaging it really bad and leave. They ask me for my security cam footage that could have caught the person responsible but I told them to fuck off.
