You're jealous but you can't do anything because you're not dating him (Part 7) - Wakatoshi Ushijima
Tumblr media
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
Pairing: Ushijima x Fem! reader
Genre: Angst to fluff
Warnings: none, really? Reader calls him Toshi.
Requested by: @ushisrever
A/N: Can't believe I posted the last update to this more than two years ago. Has it really been that long???? The incomplete series has been bothering me for two years now lmao. Didn't think I'd ever find a fitting scenario for Ushiwaka but thanks to @dira333 helping me sound off some ideas, I was able to get that perfect "snap!" you get when you fit a puzzle piece in perfectly. Gave me enough brain juice to write this out before going back into hibernation.
Serving you some fresh, hot angst and then some lol. Enjoy the burn and then the healing. For someone who was as far removed from Ushiwaka (emotionally) as one can, writing this actually made me see him in a new light. Loved writing him. Hopefully, it stays as true to his canon nature as it can. Hopefully I don't trash this before it's out💀 but if you're reading this, it's good lol.
Tumblr media
It feels like the entire Shiratorizawa is at the gates of the school.
"I can't believe she's coming to our school!"
"AAA I can't stop imagining how she'll look in our school uniform."
"Do you think she already has a boyfriend? Maybe I have a chance?"
"I don't know about a boyfriend but you certainly don't have a chance with her."
"Must you always be so cruel?!"
"If you think a star child actor who has made it so big in the industry is going to date a simpleton like you, you're delusional."
You sigh, annoyed, as you try to make your way through the babbling crowd. You're already late for your morning classes and you couldn't care any less about Hoshiko Nakamura. Or any celebrity for that matter.
"In fact, I don't think any boy in this school has a chance with her. Hmm... except maybe Ushiwaka? Not that he'd be interested in dating her anyway. Sometimes I feel like that guy doesn't have any emotions at all."
Your ears perk up at the Ace's name.
Wakatoshi Ushijima has become somewhat of a celebrity at school ever since he was selected for the under 19 representative for Japan in the Youth World Championship.
He was already well known as the formidable volleyball player who crushes any team that he takes on. However, his serious and stoic nature has kept most people from approaching him. Till now, at least.
The girl was right. Wakatoshi wouldn't even think about dating anyone. You seem fairly sure of that. However, the suggestion still leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
You're wrong about him not having any emotions you think as you finally break free from the crowd and sprint towards your classroom.
You've known Wakatoshi for as long as you can remember. You remember when his family moved into the house next to yours when you were just little kids. You remember watching the reserved, determined figure of the boy practicing volleyball all by himself in the nearby park. You remember going up to him and offering to play with him. Out of all these memories, the most vivid of them all was the way his eyes subtly lit up when you said you wanted to play with him.
Time has blurred into a haze since then. Even though you both went to different schools all through junior and middle school years, you both kept alive the tradition of playing volleyball together in park.
"You should come to Shiratorizawa," he had said that fateful day. You both were in the last year of middle school. It was a beautiful evening as you both walked back home from the park, the setting sun throwing hues of red and gold across the partially cloudy sky.
"That's not in my hands. I tried in middle school, remember? I want Shiratorizawa but Shiratorizawa doesn't seem to want me," you said, kicking a pebble on the road. Funny how I could say the same about you.
"That was three years ago. You have grown," he said without pause.
"We'll see. I don't want to get my hopes too high. You know just as well as I do that they give preference to athletes over normal students like me. Casual volleyball games with you are just about as sporty as I get," you said as you reached out to open the gate to your home.
You turned to say goodbye to him and found him looking at you, his expression more serious than usual.
"It's not about athleticism."
"Shiratorizawa only accepts the best. Be it volleyball or anything else. I believe you fit into that category. You should come," he says, looking straight into your eyes.
Your stomach flutters. How could he have so much faith in you? There is no doubt that he believes in you because Wakatoshi Ushijima always means what he says. Almost 5 years of knowing him had taught you that. You still found it hard to digest, though.
"I'll try my best, I promise."
"I know you will."
Tumblr media
"Class, please give a warm welcome your new classmate, Hoshiko Nakamura!"
You can't help but gawk at her. Saying she is pretty would be a severe understatement. If she looks pretty on screen, it is nothing compared to what she looks like off screen. You look at your desk partner to see if he is thinking the same. Wakatoshi, however, seems to simply be listening to the teacher.
"Miss Nakamura, I'm sure you will have no problem settling in here. To kind of help you settle in this new environment, I was thinking of seating you next to Ushijima as I believe you two have met before at some of the national events."
The teacher might as well have thrown a bus at you and it would have felt just about the same as you do now.
Hoshiko's face lights up. "That would be great. Wakatoshi-kun has always been a delight to be with. Thank you for having me," she says and bows.
Did she just call him by his first name?
"Ah, Y/N, sorry for springing this on you so suddenly. I wanted to get a hold of you before morning class but couldn't. I hope it's not a problem," the teacher says.
You force a polite smile. "It's not a problem at all," you say and start packing your bag.
Hoshiko walks up to the desk and waits patiently for you to gather your stuff, thanking you again.
Your legs feel heavy as you take the empty seat diagonal to them in the adjacent row.
I'm panicking for no reason. They just know each other from an event. It makes sense to make her sit with a familiar and safe person, given her popularity. Yes, Wakatoshi is definitely the ideal choice in this scenario. He is not someone who would be creepy in any sense. He's also strong and intimidating so it would keep the creeps away. It's fine. It'll be fine. Nothing is going to happen between them... right?
"Wakatoshi-kun, I'm so glad I got to sit next to you," she says, smiling at him, speaking loud enough for people sitting nearby to hear.
"Actually, if I'm being honest, when I decided to come back to my hometown to complete my studies, I knew I wanted to go to Shiratorizawa immediately," she continues.
"Of course. Shiratorizawa is the best school in the prefecture. It's only natural to want to study here," Ushijima says, completely seriously.
Hoshiko blushes. "Ah... that is not what I meant... nevermind," she says, causing the guy behind them to burst into laughter.
It seems like the hollow sensation growing in your stomach is here to stay.
Tumblr media
It has been two months since the day Hoshiko joined your school. With Ushijima going to school earlier than usual and practicing late into the night for the Inter High preliminaries, he hasn't been able to spend much time with you lately. Normally, this wouldn't have bothered you because you could see him in class everyday but with Hoshiko now taking your place, you barely get to say more than hi to him.
However, with the prelims now over and the upcoming week-long break ahead, you're hoping to get some one-on-one time with him once again. All these years with him have made him such an intrinsic part of your daily life that it feels like something big is missing when he's not around. To the world, Wakatoshi Ushijima might be a lot of things. But to you, Wakatoshi Ushijima is home. He is comfort. He is strength. He is someone that you know like the back of your own hand. He is someone that your heart always keeps coming back to. He is the only love you have ever known.
You know that he doesn't share the same feelings for you. But that doesn't stop your heart from longing for him.
The lessons for the day are over and you walk back to your class, eager to pack your bag and go home with Ushijima. You wonder if he'll want to go to the park in the evening.
"She's asking him out! She's asking him out!"
"No WAY! I am SO jealous."
A small crowd has gathered around the window and they're whispering amongst themselves as they look outside.
"Man, that Ushiwaka is so lucky! He gets to date the most beautiful girl in the entire country."
"I mean… he is in the nation's top 3 aces and an under 19 representative of Japan. Not to mention he's tall and strong and good looking. They're actually perfect for each other."
Your heart drops down to your feet.
You look out the window and find yourself looking at Hoshiko and Ushijima standing a ways away from the school building. They're in a quiet, secluded spot and Hoshiko seems to be blushing as she says something to him. You see him nod and say something in return. Hoshiko's face lights up in pure delight and even though they are at a distance, you can hear the joy in her voice.
"No way!!!! He said yes?? I thought he wasn't interested in girls!"
"Goddamn it! There goes my chance!"
You feel dizzy as you watch the two of them walk back to school together.
No. This can't be. You have always known that he doesn't like you that way. But you thought he wasn't interested in dating at all.
No. You shouldn't make any assumptions just yet. These gossip mongers are messing with your head. For all you know, he could have said yes to being in a show or something. You shouldn't despair before you hear the truth from him.
You blink back your tears and run to your class. Thankfully, it's empty. You take a few deep breaths to calm yourself and wait. Both of them soon appear in the hallway. The crowd surrounds them instantly, wanting to drown them in questions but Ushijima breaks away from them easily and walks towards the class. He comes up to you.
"Y/N. I'm sorry I won't be able to come to the park today."
It's true.
"Hoshiko and I are going to watch this new movie playing at the theatre-"
He's going on a date with her.
"Apparently it has a lot of volleyball in it-"
He's going on a date with h-
"You should join us."
Huh?
"What?"
"I figured you might like it since you play volleyball with me even though you don't play it otherwise."
What? What? What?? What is happening right now??
Ushijima patiently waits for your answer.
"Uh... Whose idea was it to go to the movie?"
"Nakamura's. Why?"
"And how did she bring up the idea?"
"Well, I was returning from the club and she asked to speak to me in private. And then she told me about the movie and if I wanted to watch it with her."
He didn't get it.
"Ah... Toshi... I'm pretty sure she was asking you out on a date."
His eyes widen with surprise.
"A... date? But she never said she had romantic feelings for me."
Could this mean...? Can I hope...?
"Well, her asking you out on the date was her way of saying it."
"I see. I didn't realise. Thank you for telling me. In that case, I should tell her my feelings for her as well."
He has feelings for her.
Your heart shatters.
You're glad that he walks out right away because you couldn't have stopped your tears from coming out even if you wanted to. You run out of the back door, desperate to get far away.
I guess I was the problem all this time. I just wasn't someone you could look at that way.
You had always known that. You had always known that he didn't feel for you the way you did. But that hadn't stopped you from falling for him. Hard. How could you have not? Eight years of knowing him... You didn't even realise when you fell for him. Loving him just came so naturally to you.
Logically, it makes sense. They make sense. She is beautiful and tall and smart. And so is he. They are the type of couple who would be featured on the cover of a magazine. Which, given their career trajectories, is bound to happen sooner or later.
But the heart doesn't care for logic and at this moment you feel like it will actually burst from the amount of pain you're feeling.
You spend the rest of the evening and the entire night crying in your room.
Tumblr media
Morning comes and you feel worse than ever. Your head is throbbing, your nose is stuffy and your eyes are swollen. You decide to skip school. It's the last day before break anyway. Maybe this break will be good for you. It will give you some time to adjust to everything and compose yourself.
You go back to bed and sleep through the entire day.
You thought you'd feel better after getting some rest but you still feel like shit.
You drag yourself out of bed. Your entire body feels like it weighs ten times more.
Maybe a shower and some fresh air will do you good.
You head out.
No matter how much you try to think of something else, your mind keeps coming back to him. Your eyes keep searching for him. You look in the direction of his room. The curtains are open and you can see it is empty.
Of course he's not home yet. He's probably out with her again.
Even though it's barely a minute away, you feel exhausted by the time you reach the park. Thankfully, it is empty.
You sit on one of the swings and look around. Most of your memories with Ushijima are tied to this park. This is where you both have spent the majority of your last eight years together.
All the sweet memories make you tear up again.
"You didn't come to school today."
You were so lost in your head that you didn't realise when he walked up to you. You blink back your tears.
"Oh... hi. Yeah, I - I wasn't feeling very well today," you say, not meeting his eye.
"You seem upset."
He noticed.
"Oh... I'm fine. Really. It's just been a rough day. It's nothing to worry about," you say, still evading his gaze.
He sits on the swing next to you. You look to the side and see he has a volleyball in his lap.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
You quickly avert your gaze again.
"No."
"I see. Well, would you like me to distract you? Talk about something else?"
It is getting harder to keep your tears in check. You're sure your voice will crack if you speak. You just nod.
"You would've liked the movie. It wasn't as focused on volleyball as Nakamura said it would-"
Great. He's chosen the worst topic he could have talked about. You don't want to hear about his date. You need to change the topic. Quickly.
"What are you doing here?" you blurt out the one question that has been weighing on your mind ever since he came here.
"What do you mean? I came here to play volleyball with you."
"I- I mean... I thought you would spend your free time with Ho-Hoshiko from now."
"Why would I do that?"
"B- because you're d-dating her?" Your voice cracks.
"I am not dating Nakamura."
What?
"What do you mean you're not dating her? I thought you liked her. Didn't you go on a date with her yesterday?"
"I do like her. Just not romantically. And no, I went to watch the movie with Tendou. She had already bought the tickets so I bought them from her. I wanted to watch it with you but you went home. "
"But... you left to tell her your feelings for her..."
"I did. I wanted to clarify that I only feel for her as a friend. It was only thanks to you that I was able to tell her in time before I ended up hurting her unintentionally."
"I...see..."
Relief floods your heart. You suddenly feel a hundred pounds lighter. You finally gather the courage to look at him. He is looking right back at you.
"Can I ask you something?" you say, your lower lip trembling.
"Of course."
"Do you have romantic feelings for anyone?"
You instantly regret speaking up as soon as the question leaves your mouth. You know he never lies. And if he doesn't feel the same w-
"Yes. You."
You stare at him blankly.
It's subtle but his expression has changed from completely serious to something a little softer. You can't quite place what it is. Is it concern? nervousness? Adoration?
"R-really? You like me? Romantically?"
"Yes."
"Since when?"
"Ah," he rubs his chin, "I'm not sure..."
You're still having difficulty believing that any of this is real.
"You know," he continues, "After my father, you were the first person who ever wanted to play with me."
He points towards the corner of the park. "I was practicing against that wall that day when you came up to me. Do you remember?"
"Of course I remember. I can never forget that day."
"So many people have come and gone from my life but you have been with me for so long that, I guess somewhere along the way I just assumed you would stay forever. Which, I now realise, I shouldn't have."
He feels the same. He has always felt the same.
"Toshi?"
He turns to you again.
"I love you."
He breaks into a soft smile.
"I love you too."

Ons chapter 135 thoughts!!
Spoilers duh (also very long post. Lmk if I should add the read more cut)
-
-
-
-
- KAGAMI I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD IT IN YOU TO GIVE CHESS AND HORN MORE SCREENTIME BUT THANK YOU ANYWAYS
- I am so glad that the whole digestion thing is more symbolical bc... that inital wording really threw me off lmao
- on that note, the immagery of the dead trees with the bodies sticking out of 'em... very creepy and on point, I think it's neat
Tumblr media
- they actually adressed Crowley forgetting them! Wowzers (side note she looks hella adorable. My little skrunkly)
Tumblr media
- ouugh the dynamic... where was it earlier? It seems so much more casual than during the Nagoya arc (probably just wishful thinking on my part lmao)... idc how give us more of this
- "you two were my first servants", LORE CRUMBS! I guess.
Tumblr media
- wait so, they're still becoming demons? But isn't that a form of reincarnation, the thing Ferid is specifically trying to stop? But he's also devouring them... to absorb their power I guess? Since later on Ferid mentions now being more powerful after devouring Crowley (I'll get to that asspull later)
- Also Horn looks a teensy bit weird with the new artstyle but she's still super pretty 🫶 be my wife pls
- So, 16 year old Ferid is inside himself as his 'true self'? I assume that because he got the idea to stop reincarnation when he was 16 and hasn't changed his mind since (never let 16 year olds make big decisions in this world, it only leads to disaster)
Tumblr media
- the skrunkle part 2. Also I doubt being digested like that feels good in any way. And with how slow it's supposed to be, yikes.
- I have a theory (aka major amounts of copium): Yuu will bust in and save Crowley because of 'fAmiLy' and also save Chess and Horn since they're family by association
- No one can reach Ferid, eh? And then Corwley's voice reaches him. Kagami and his queerbaiting amirite
- However Ferid then snags Crowley and ig he's on the priority list of getting devoured. Probably bc he's the strongest vampire Ferid has eaten. Cannibalism as a metaphor for love and devotion or whatever, except it's very literal and I doubt there's any love beyond 'u and interesting critter dude' from both sides
Tumblr media
- Ok here's my major nitpick with this chapter: KAGAMI STOP BREAKING AND BENDING YOUR OWN FUCKING WORLDBUILDING AND POWER SYTEMS. Until now it was established that a vampires strenght is dependant on 1. their rank (as in who's blood turned them) and 2. their age. But now appearantly Ferid can eat vampires and absorb their strenght? If this was some universal but very difficult thing for any vampire to do, then I wouldn't be this salty. Also one of my favourite things about Ferid as an antagonist was, that power-wise he was on the weaker side. Despite being 'weak' he was still a major threat. He made up for his lack in actual fighting power with smarts and immaculate planning. But now he's another uber-strong genius. C'mon we already had Shikama and Rigr for that department. Bleh.
- now for the Yuu / Rigr and co confrontation, it's fiiiiine. I guess. At least Shikama is still somewhat of a formidable threat. Not to the major characters obviously but yk, it's something.
Tumblr media
- rip Basteya. You showed up, slayed for a little and died.
- Kirsten still looks fugly as hell lmao
- so do Ulrich and Roger
- So, who will be faster: Shinoa in absorbing Shikama or Yuu in saving him? My bet is on Yuu purley bc he's supposed to be the main character but ig we'll see next chapter
Tumblr media
- KRUL!!! AND THE BAT THING I FORGOT IT'S NAME
- sadly no Ferid / Krul brawl this chapter but yk what makes me excited for next chapter
- my guess is that now Krul is Ferids next target to be chomped. Hopefully she will beat his ass. Like when she first appeared. Ahhh the good old times
- 'A big fan of yours... M'lady Queen' lmao. What's next Ferid, will you put on a Fedora? Bro that last panel ain't it. Fuckin Sebastian of black butler wannabe 💀

It never used to be, but put like 200~ written sex scenes behind you, and one day as you keep trying to make them better and better they suddenly just become more challenging than the average action scene. (Because they are a kind of action scene).
I relate to this on a spiritual level. When I've done something enough times and have become good at it it starts to get difficult again. It's kind of a paradox. But I've learned that once I let go of always trying to improve something I'm already good at or 'make it better' I actually rediscover my enjoyment.
Your stories are some of the best I've read. And your smut is amazing because there's always worldbuilding and character development behind it. Perhaps I'm biased because I'm demisexual and I need emotional components to enjoy the smexy stuff 😅 But it honestly doesn't bother me that you don't write pure smut anymore.
Obviously i hope you don't stop writing it completely (I'd be sad if you only wrote gen fics going forward but I'd still read and love them) but you gotta do whatever's best for you. And if that means no longer writing sex scenes then so be it.
But just know that you don't have to get better at it because you're already the cream of the crop as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe you just need a break from writing that sort of stuff? You might rediscover your love for it after some time away. Just food for thought.
Anyway... looking forward to whatever you write in the future. We'll support you no matter what <3
Hi anon,
This is super kind, and I have definitely taken lengthy breaks from writing erotica (literally almost over a year). In fact two of my main stories over the last few years - Falling Falling Stars and The Nascent Diplomat haven't had smut in them partly for that reason.
Unfortunately it's still just a struggle. We all have things that don't come easily to us. I can generate characters as easily as breathing, and dialogue / character voice is an instinctive, natural skill. But erotica is just... yeah, challenging.
I definitely don't plan on stopping writing it! A bunch of my stories right now have smut in them and are going to have smut in them going forward. :D
I can't see me ever just writing gen honestly.
But yeah I've taken very very long sabbaticals from writing smut. The reality is even these days I can go 2-3 months without writing any, which is kind of amazing, because I write over 100k words in those 2-3 months. So there's definitely breaks happening.
I don't know that I am good at erotica, though I appreciate that you think so! I'm a bit unconventional re: how lengthy my erotica scenes are (and how character-growth focused they are lol), but AO3 taught me and I prefer AO3 sex scenes over all others.
...I wandered away from this post for 5 hours and then came back like 'oh you didn't press post to this yet?' so anyway sadlfkjjas I may be having problems writing smut for a wHOLE lot of additional reasons too lmao

how do you think a boomerang and flash fight wouldve gone if the suicide squad were the ones brainwashed instesd of the justice league? frankly i just wanna hear how you think a brainiac!boomerang and flash would interact, youve got the BEST boomerflash headcanons i swear-
Henlo my sweet anon! Also, I just wanna say, the ego feeding is very nice lolol /lh
Also, compared to the wittiness of Brainiaced Flasher n Digger, I do think these two switched would be more on the angsty side.
Anyway:
It'd probably depend on if they were already dating, which amma make two versions of! Aka, if they'd already dated and if they had something that they didn't name (aka kinda on and off deal)
DATING:
Boomer, brainiaced, would be a force to recon with for Flash (im only half joking). I feel like the whole TFX probably got sent into the field by Waller, while the Justice League got held back as a "safety requirement". At first they thought that Suicide Squad was just bitching, but when the bombs weren't there AND Deadshot was the one that got out of the brainwashing for long enough to tell them what happened (why DS u might ask - obviously bc he loves his kid so much he'd rather kill himself instead of endangering her planet).
The whole Justice League (well, as whole as they were shown in the game lmao) gets separated and they have to fight their villains, now somewhat "mutated", one vs one. Flash is somewhat happy that no-one is there to witness it. His voice soft and breaking, while he tries his best to wake his lover up from this nightmare.
He knows there's no saving, he knows he has to kill him, but by Speedforce, he doesn't want to.
Do you think his hand would shake while he's landing his last blow? Do you think Boomer would wake up at the end, the pure fear showing in his eyes, while he trembles and cries, knowing that he woke up too late?
The fight wouldn't go as smoothly as it normally goes for Flash, Boomer not only with Speedforce but also knowing him well enough that he's practically instinctively Speedster-proof.
I imagine it would be a long fight, mostly because Flash would fight the fact that he has to end the other and because Boomer would absolutely spew some hurtful shit enough that it'd stop the other in his tracks.
Every blow done faster than a human eye can see, Flash dogging the goddamn boomerangs, while also trying to dodge the man himself.
The witty banter is defo one-sided, Barry already mourning the other.
If Hal would see him, he'd point out that it was exactly what he was worried about.
If we'll try the "happy ending route", with Boomer's fear for his life actually waking him up a second before he is in fatal condition, he and Barry cannot stay alone in one room for weeks after.
The speedster aches whenever he and Digger land alone somewhere, just to see the thief shake and curl in himself in fear, his mind remembering the pain and the taste of death on his tongue too well.
Barry's need to comfort Boomer vs Barry's need to accommodate Boomer, fight!
If he dies, Flash comes back to his teammates after a while, when/if they dealt with their own... issues, somehow knowing that he cannot afford to actually have a burial for his love. That if he doesn't want the heat that comes with dating a villain, he cannot bury the man who he wished to hold in his arms one more time.
I actually have a half-issue with this! Would he, knowing that it's too late to fix anyway, still put himself on blast like that? Knowing his history with Godspeed, probably! But it somehow doesn't seem to fit for me, huh.
IF HE WASN'T DATING DATING HIM:
He's so in denial. Gods bless.
Speedforce plus Boomer is a strong combo, I feel like he'd be a little more unpredictable since he'd be also pushed by the feeling of "not being enough" for Barry.
When Flash hears it in the chaotic mumble coming from Boomer, he's absolutely dumbstrucked.
Can you imagine if Kid Flash or Impulse are helping him at the moment? Or any other Flash fam members?
Their need to ask him "why tf is this Rouge calling you his bitch ex wife" dies down quickly, when the panicking apologies get practically torn out of the Speedster's throat.
He never meant to make the other feel like that, how could he not notice it?
Boomerang is hitting every sensitive spot of their relationship, or more lack of it. The words he says are from the darkness of his mind he would let himself slip into only while being so insecure that it hurts. This one is not coming back to us, even for the last second of his life.
"But before u said that he comes back out of fear for his life, why wouldn't he come back here?" Because he's not living the life that he'd think is worth it, c'mon, keep up ;)
Our lovely scarlet boy needs a BREAK after this fight. His shock lasted too long few times and Digger was so good at hitting where it hurts that he definitely stopped more than once.
Flash fam/Anyone else helps him get back on his legs, but they can't exactly navigate it - so they weren't in a relationship AND that's the issue?
Tho I'm sure few of them just kinda stop around him in understanding - they can't make it better, but they can make sure that he knows they're here for him.
Talking bout it, Godspeed (who I count as a part of Flash fam, fight me) does actually get it. He keeps close to the other while they fight for their world, making sure that Barry won't fall without there being anyone to catch him.
Can you let yourself mourn someone you wouldn't let yourself love?
ANyway, it went way more into the "what if they'd fight to death" than into "how would they interact", but well :'D

"Are you sure you have everything?"
"Yes."
"Toothbrushes?"
"Yep."
"Passport?"
"Check."
"Underwear-"
"Mom!" You gaped at her, unable to believe that she would have the audacity to say that out loud.
"Kidding, kidding!" Your mother laughed, patting you on the back. "I'm just making sure that you're all packed!"
"We know how forgetful you can be, kiddo," your father added, playfully nudging you.
You rolled your eyes in response but you couldn't help but smile anyway, "I promise that I have everything and even double checked, no way I was leaving without everything I needed."
This was no simple ordinary trip you were taking; you weren't just traveling and sightseeing and learning about all the wonders, no. You were going to study abroad in Japan as part of a foreign exchange program to a university you were attending. Ten years ago, you never imagined that you would ever be so far away from your loved ones as you would be following your dreams to gain the career you so desired albeit abroad.
"Remember that we love you a lot, and we'll be waiting for you to keep in contact whenever you're available, okay?" Your mother said, her eyes beginning to shine with tears.
"And no matter what happens, you can always come home. We'll be waiting with open arms," your father added, bringing the both of you into a group hug. It definitely took some time to convince yourself to end the hug before you missed your flight.
As you bid goodbye to your parents, you headed inside of the airport, ready to take on the next chapter of your life.
Right now, it had to be about 6 A.M. in the morning and here you were at Shibuya Station, still half asleep for the long trip you were going to make to the university. Which meant that sadly, you had to get up extra early for the ride. But at least it meant that the sooner you got settled in, the better right? Plus, you could at least afford to doze off in your seat for a bit. Who knows? Maybe the seats were decently comfortable compared to the hotel you were staying at.
As you rubbed your eyes to keep from falling asleep while standing, you decided to pass the time by looking around at the people boarding the train with you.
There were surely a variety of people that were going along for a ride, and the majority of them looked to be around your age too, maybe a year or two younger. As you looked around some more, you hear a “Hey!” coming up from the floor above you, followed by some yelling. As you and a few others nearby turned your heads towards the noise, you saw a crowd of people in front of the top of the stairs surrounding something. You couldn’t see what was going on thanks to the crowd blocking your view, but it looked like a fight was breaking out? Maybe a thief messed with the wrong person and the people were bystanders? You didn’t know.
Looking back, maybe that should’ve been the first sign of trouble.
Enough people watching for now, you were still tired and the train finally opened the doors to let everyone in. You only looked around the area for a minute and that was enough to make you want to fall asleep. Not only that, you really wanted to sit down. You got inside as the announcement for the train departing soon rang out.
Now here you were, finally taking a seat on the train. As you sank down in your seat, you sighed. Never in your life did you expect to be so many miles away from home, and the homesickness was starting to sink in. Sure it wasn't the first time this happened, but today it was stronger than ever.
Maybe it's because you would be even further than home, it was your first time attending your new university after all. After graduating high school, you were lucky to be accepted into a foreign exchange program and placed with good host parents. But now here you are boarding the train to reach your university and settle into your dorm, at least a half hour away from even said host parents. Everything was really starting to sink in; the culture shock, the homesickness, everything.
As you sank down in your seat, you couldn't help but hear some commotion going on from the seats across from you.
"Wh-? Hina! Why are you sitting next to me of all people?!" A boy with bright yellow hair exclaimed. He wore a blue and white baseball uniform and blue cap. His hair was the brightest yellow you’ve ever seen in your life! Looks like it was badly dyed too, the poor guy.
He and his team were standing nearby as you were people-watching earlier. This team looked to be from a high school or college and they seemed to be traveling for a faraway game and the girl in question, "Hina", was accompanying them as their only cheerleader. Said girl was indeed sitting next to the flustered boy, smiling at him as he was turning red.
"Come on Takemichi, nothing wrong with me sitting next to you, right?” She said, much to the flustering of the boy. Even his ears seemed to redden.
“But, listen-” he began to stammer, trying to explain himself to no avail.
“No you listen mister, if I tell you I like you, all you have to do is say 'thank you'. It’s your fate," She added, smugly.
The rest of the team began to laugh and jeer at the couple with a “Yeah, that’s fate!”, mainly at the boy you now knew as “Takemichi”, and they soon began to chant "Accept her! Accept her!" Poor Takemichi hid his face under his cap as he sunk into his seat, embarrassed. All the while, Hina looked down at him with a teasing smile. Even the coach of the team smiled at the sight.
The sight made you giggle before you began to face forward, leaning back into your seat as you began to rest. As you began to relax, the train began to move, ready to be on its way.
Out of the corner of your eye, you saw the station worker that was giving the “all clear” signal get tackled by somebody. Surprised, you turned to face the window and sat up in your seat to get a better look, but it was too late. The train was already moving way too fast for you to see what exactly happened.
You shrugged as you sat back down and got comfortable again, thinking that the random person would soon get apprehended and that poor station worker would soon be alright after all of that mess. Little did you know, it was just the beginning…
A few minutes began to pass by and you decided to get up to use the restroom. As you stood up, you then witnessed a conversation. There was a man who dressed formally and wore glasses, his gray eyes seemed to stand out even from far away. He was talking to one of the train attendants about a concern.
“Excuse me, good morning. It appears that some odd man has gone onboard the train somehow and is hiding in the washroom. He’s been there for a while too,” he said. Seeing as you were on your way to said washroom, you followed the two men to where this odd person supposedly resided.
You reached the door and the attendant knocked on the door with a “Sir? Is everything alright?” Eventually, he had no choice but to open the door and the three of you were met with a man curled up in a ball, trembling. He had long black hair with parts of it dyed yellow, a single bell earring, and dirty clothes. What stood out the most from him was his eyes, which were sand brown and wide open with fear.
“They’re dead… everyone’s all dead…” he muttered, slowly turning his head to face the three of you.
“Excuse me? Where is your ticket, sir? If you don’t have it, we will have no choice but to escort you off at the next station,” the attendant said.
“All dead… everyone’s dead!” He wheezed out, laughing. His earring jingled along as he continued to laugh. This disturbed you, just what happened to this man?
As the attendant still tried to reason with the strange man, you felt the other man pat you on your shoulder. As you turned to look at him, he smiled at you. “Don’t worry about him, trash always gets disposed of.” He said to you.
You could only look back at him in disbelief, “You really shouldn’t talk about other people like that, sometimes life happens and it screws you over.” You replied.
He only laughed at you before walking away back to his seat, “Don’t be naive for too long darling, come back to reality whenever you feel like it.”
You made a sneer before deciding to look for another washroom.
Walking through the aisle and into the next passenger car over, you were surprised to see how decently full the train was already as you continued making your way. Two stood out to you as you walked by: there were a pair of boys who appeared to be brothers sitting on your left. One seemed to tease the other about something while the other only rolled his eyes in response and pushed his glasses up his nose.
All the while, another train attendant was trying to report a serious situation in car 11 concerning an injured woman along with other passengers in the other cabins watching news of the “riots”...
You finally made your way only to be greeted by a tall intimidating man staring at you. He had long blond hair in a braid with the sides and back of his head shaved off, revealing a dragon tattoo. Sensing your need, he shook his head. “Gonna be a while, sorry. Both rooms are taken. Right, honey?” He said that last part in a teasing tone as he leaned towards one door. Hearing a bang on the door from the inside in response, he laughed before looking back at you. “Ah, she loves me.”
Laughing along with him, you then walked away to find another available restroom. Until you almost ran into the same attendant you met earlier. Confused as you watched him run towards the direction you came from, you wondered what happened.
‘Must be urgent,’ you thought, before shrugging it off.
While you were gone, all hell was breaking loose in another part of the train.
Takemichi, Hina, and the rest of the baseball team watched in surprise as they watched an attendant walk through the aisle with a woman on her back. They were confused as to why the attendant was struggling in pain and why the woman seemed to be biting at her neck before both women fell to the ground together. Confusion soon later turned to horror as the woman and now zombified attendant began to arise and attack the other passengers.
“Holy shit!” Takemichi yelled out as he and the others watched their coach get attacked before the man could react and have his neck bitten into. He quickly got up to try and help him as Hina could only watch on.
As another train attendant ran towards the commotion to see what was going on, he too was horrified to see passengers violently biting one another as a few others managed to escape and run past him or stay to defend the vulnerable (i.e Takemichi using his baseball bat to protect Hina from a newly zombified man that almost attacked her). The man soon got over his shock as he witnessed a coworker stare up at him with soulless eyes after biting into another one of their own, now fully changed into one of them.
He got up and ran back towards the other car where a few confused people were peering over to see what was going on, “Go! Everyone run! Hurry!”
Frightened, almost everyone did what he said, immediately heading towards another car, far away from where the mess was happening. There were a few that needed some urging to move forward.
“Conductor! There’s a situation!” The attendant frantically yelled into the walkie talkie he and his coworkers always carried. “I don’t know what happened but- violence broke out in one of the cabins!”
Oblivious to it all, you stepped out of the restroom, finally feeling refreshed. Oddly enough, you opened the door right as another man was ready to walk by you.
“Oh! Pardon me! I didn’t see you there!” You apologized, to which the man waved it off, smiling. This man had a choppy undercut with the top half in a blonde color, green eyes, and a single earring in his left ear.
“S’all good. Say, do you know what’s going on in that next room over? There were people running over to where I’m sitting, panicking about something.” He asked.
You shrugged, “I know nothing honestly.”
He nodded in understanding before looking over at you some more, “Don’t mean to sound blunt, but you’re not from around here, are you?” He asked
You smiled slightly, shaking your head, “Nope, I’m studying abroad here as part of an exchange program,” you answered.
“Cool! Why don’t we get acquainted since we’re talking? You look like you need a friend. My name is Chifuyu,” he introduced himself, bowing. You did the same too, telling him your name.
Just after you made your introductions, a man ran past you two yelling “Run!”, nearly knocking you down. Not even three seconds later three more civilians ran past you two yelling in panic.
Confused, you and Chifuyu looked at each other before looking at the sliding glass door that led to the other cabin you passed by on your way earlier. Unfortunately, thanks to the other passengers standing up from their seats, they were blocking your view. They were probably curious as well.
Chifuyu let out a hum before he spoke, “I’ll go check it out, wait here, okay?” He said, giving you a reassuring smile before sliding open the door. Little did he know, he was going to be greeted with a nasty surprise.
Right after he opened the door, more people were running past him. He even almost got knocked over himself from some yelling to “Get away! Now!”
He looked on in awe as a random man, who was attempting to run by with the others, was holding onto his neck. That man soon collapsed on an empty seat and began to violently convulse.
“Get up and hurry! Head for the back!” Snapping out of his stupor, he witnessed an attendant, the same one he (and you) saw earlier, run by to round up the last passengers frozen in place or somehow still asleep to get them to run away. But he was sadly too late. Chifuyu began to slowly back away in fear as he witnessed the man’s coworker run up and bite him and saw other people, now appearing to be zombies, attack the remaining passengers who failed to flee in time.
“What’s going on?”
Chifuyu quickly looked back to see you still standing behind him, confused. Facing forward to see the now changed attendant who was ready to charge at him, he quickly turned back around and sprinted towards you, grabbing you by your wrist.
“Run now! We gotta move!” He yelled out, forcing you to run as well.
The situation still not sinking in yet, you turned your head back to see many people covered in blood snarling as they chased after you two.
Your eyes widened, dread filling your body as you turned your head back to try and match Chifuyu’s rapid pace.
Never in your wildest dreams did you think you would experience this in your life. And to think that you thought that such a scenario could only happen in movies.

did we enjoy hanging out at the virtual bar last night ..... sorry i didn't finish answering the asks i fell asleep on the floor listening to lover you should've come over on a loop for 3 hours anyway here's the rest 😌 i may not be drunk anymore but i answered them quick fire mode for that authentic experience fjkjsds
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i feel like as she's gotten older, caroline became the retrospective/morose kinda drunk and that's beth's natural state so it would be like a healing therapy session for sure. mikaela gets sloppy lmaooo so she would be blabbing about things no one asked, probably dropping some crazy anecdote that no one can tell if it's true or not. danny just gets stupid horny fjksjds sorry, gotta kick him out after 2 drinks or you'll see a lot more than you ever wanted to
Tumblr media
he earned it!!!
Tumblr media
honestly i never do anything for my sims birthdays because there's just so many of them 😭 but tom bought him a brownie from the dining hall and stuck a candle in it, then they gathered some friends and went out for drinks later but casper paid the whole tab with danny's money lol and his friends back home got on a group phone call to wish him happy birthday 💖
Tumblr media
it suuuuuucks :( i know it's necessary and someday it will feel good and hopefully my relationships will be stronger because of it, but in the meantime i just feel like a toddler who doesn't have the words to describe how i feel so i just cry a lot fjkjsds it's definitely easier to give austin the benefit of the doubt because i can relate, but that makes me want to see him improve more than anything. i don't want to live my life in such a closed-off way anymore and austin probably doesn't either... he just isn't at that stage yet where he realizes it's a problem, so it's frustrating to witness him act like this 😭
Tumblr media
BETHHH all of the above!! (well except HOA, because fuck HOAs) we've seen her volunteer as a chaperone for school dances, she's definitely asa's most involved parent in his school & general safety. caroline liked interacting with other parents when asa was little, because she was a young parent she wanted to soak up as much parental experience as possible. on the other hand, mikaela felt embarrassed about how she was the youngest parent in the room when she was putting casper through school/sports so she tended to keep to herself, but she did eventually embrace her status as a soccer mom and then football mom lmao. i can see her and beth in a bookclub :')
Tumblr media
yeah he's at the tail end of his tour right now, he only has a few shows left. in the last post with caroline & asa in the hospital, mikaela was actually on the phone with danny but it didn't really make sense to include in that scene, so i moved it to the next time we'll see asa's parents. so i can't say too much about him yet!! but yeah he did take a SUPER long break, so his team is not going to be happy if he asks for another. he tries to keep his family out of the spotlight and only shares nonspecific information about them, but of course he taps into his emotions when writing music so i'm sure a lot of his family struggles come through, just maybe not in the way a casual listener would hear and think "oh his son has had mysterious health problems his whole life" or anything like that!
Tumblr media
it's honestly been really fun to write!! he's such a stoic figure and his inner monologue is too, but there's a lot he doesn't say even to himself that's just simmering under the surface...
Tumblr media
@forgotten-pixels omg it's funny you bring this up!! when i first introduced mac in the story, i wasn't thinking at all about genetics, i just picked a coat pattern i thought was cute and randomly decided he would be a boy, but then right after that i switched my major to biology and took a genetics class where i had to do a whole research project about chromosomal abnormalities and used male tortoiseshell cats as one of the focuses because they have an extra X chromosome which can also occur in humans (though obviously we don't get cute patterns because of it..... sad!) but male tortoiseshell cats tend to have a ton of health problems & lowered life expectancy because of this abnormality, so if we were being entirely realistic mac probably wouldn't have survived into adulthood. but since this is the sims i decided pets can never die fjksjds i did think about doing a silly retcon where once mac is no longer a kitten he runs away for a few days and returns pregnant because oops he's actually a female cat but 1. again, this is sims so who cares about realism and 2. there is no way in hell beth would be irresponsible enough to not get her adopted stray cat fixed as soon as possible. so i just scrapped the whole idea lmao but yes!! mac is just an exceedingly rare kitty :P
Tumblr media
aww i'm sorry i think you sent this a couple days ago, but thank you for thinking of me 🥺 i hope you had a good day!!
Tumblr media
noo you didn't make me feel rushed at all!! i totally get wanting to know, i wish i could be more consistent but i've given up on expecting that from myself jfkjsdj but yeah don't fear, he's not really dead dead hehe
Tumblr media
oh i love this for them, thank you so much 💖 i don't know anything but just from what you've said, i think leo & aries makes so much sense for finn and asa because like they literally were never supposed to be together or even meet in their lifetimes but by god they will NOT let that stop them 😌
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
@morrigan-sims AHHH yeah i honestly have nothing to add to this fjkjsds you said it all !! i could comment more but that would be spoilers territory so i'll just leave it with saying i love hearing everyone's predictions, it makes me happy that you know these characters well enough to see into the future a bit 🥺
Tumblr media
he wouldn't do anything to hurt (physically or emotionally) asa's family, nor would he knowingly let asa hurt them himself. so...... honey you've got a big storm coming i guess 😭😭
Tumblr media
she loves animals, particularly reptiles & amphibians, she'd be so great working in conservation or education about animals especially for kids 🥺
Tumblr media
she has a vague idea of how certain people would react... she thinks stevie would probably believe her (at least partially) because she's always been pretty open to unexplainable phenomenon, but she falsely believes that stevie wouldn't be able to keep a secret (she doesn't know that stevie has been keeping asa & finn's secret for a decade now...). she would never want to tell elaine, because she knows elaine doesn't believe in anything supernatural and would probably assume she's experiencing actual delusions. that just leaves asa, who she might have considered telling, except that she knows how badly he's struggled with his own mental health so she would never want to potentially make it worse by confusing his reality in a sense...
Tumblr media
oh yeah i definitely cannot comment on this one jfkjsds
Tumblr media
asa truly does not think about consequences or the future. you wouldn't assume this is the case because of how quiet and thoughtful he seems, but he chooses to live in the moment and deal with problems as they arise, not a minute sooner. for him, there's just no way he'll ever be without finn, no matter what he has to do to make that happen or what he has to give up..

Yo my love, how you doing? Moonlight reign has me on chokehold rn and I'm begging for more. I don't know if I can ask this because this might be treading the spoiler area but if I may ask, how soon we'll be seeing the rest of the boys getting obsessed with her? (no pressure tho) Also, I don't know if this has been asked but are the boys yandere for each other as well? Like what if Jungkook left them for the mc? Will they be unhinge? or idk, a normal breakup for what is normal for mafias? Oh, also will the moonlight mc be similar to bunny where she's lowkey yandere for her boys too? or will it be kind of "I have these boys who are dangerous and powerful and I don't really wanna be with them but they can go apeshit for me so I guess Imma stay" vibe?
Oh, also (lmao) if worst comes to worst, will the moonlight mc have the capability of killing or maybe harming jungkook? (imagine the angst tho) Another question (lmaoooo) this might be spoiler again so if you don't want to answer any of this, feel free. Can you give a little description of how unhinge each one of the boys (maybe in the near future for the mc?) Like who gets jealous easily? How do they get jealous? Who's going to be the shoot to kill just cause he got possessive? Or what will happen if (I'm talking when they're all obsessed with her) she just suddenly ghosted them (for fun I guess)?
Anyways, you've really one up yourself once again and I'm obsessed with every second of it. Hydrate yourself and have a great day! <3
Hiiii! Thank you so much for the sweet words and the questions ahhhh i love them!!
As for how long it'll be... I'll try to be as vague as I can but it won't be crazy long, but it also won't be all at once, you know. A medium burn, if you will.
The boys are yandere for each other lol. Jungkook's ideal life is MC joining the fray like yesterday. He would never leave them, but he was indeed dead serious when he said he would take his life if they killed MC. It's all or nothing for him. There is no breaking up for them, there's just time and space away and that's it. Their relationship is super out of whack and only open because they were basically broken up without breaking up. Physical connection with other people doesn't matter because they have their emotional connection no matter what. Naturally, MC is going to change all of that big time lol.
I'd say she would be kinda yandere for them yeah, similar to bunny she never experienced love like this, and she already finds Jungkook's attention addictive so they'll have the same effect on her. She's also never been protected before so she will want to return the favor. MC is sensitive but first and foremost she is extremely deadly so lol~
Also I would say nah MC doesn't have the stomach for harming Jungkook, but she likes to think she does. She likes to think she's just as cold and heartless as she was raised, but I think deep down she didn't run at first partially because she knew it would hurt her and Jungkook too much. I cannot stress enough how much he was all she had and I am just waiting for an excuse to write their flashbacks hehe
Also maybe a spoiler but its fun so I'll answer a lil under the cut: heed any and all yandere warnings, they're toxic and crazy and mafia au dudes so they kill. Also the descriptions only apply when they are fully in love with the MC, which not all of them are yet so keep that in mind.
MR fellas yandere types:
Jungkook:
-borderline delusional evidently lmao
-he loves with his whole being and is unapologetic about it
-obviously handles being ghosted extremely poorly, he lasted an afternoon basically before he went insane
-surprisingly the least jealous of them, but mostly because he's enough of a brat to divert attention back to him lmao
-will only kill if asked to or if there is a present threat
-how does it make you feel knowing he is the most sane? LMAO
Namjoon:
-stoic and uncaring on the outside but foaming at the mouth the moment she's out of sight basically
-has to know everything she is doing but is too emotionally stunted to just ask
-will send flowers or lunch and either not or forget to sign his name, yes he is embarrassed about it
-takes almost losing her to be less dumb about loving her ;)
-gets jealous only if someone touches her, is mostly okay with flirting because he knows she can't flirt back even if she wanted to rip no rizz MC
-is MC more fit to fight then he is? yes. Will he insist on being the one to fight her battles? absolutely lmao
-won't just kill someone right there he is a CEO he has a public image to protect
-cannot be ghosted he can control her bank account easy, his company owns it lmao
-he will make sure someone deals with it, and will make arrangments to personally do so if he feels so inclined (will melt if MC asks him to do literally anything)
Jin:
-this one is hard to elaborate on without spoilers so forgive my vagueness
-once in love, basically a puppy
-doesn't like to get his hands dirty, but will take great joy in doing it for her
-surprisingly jealous, and will insist that she is touching his hand, waist, anything while they're out together
-super difficult to ghost for reasons yet to be shared
-touchstarved. I'll leave that there for now~
Yoongi:
-also hard to say much without spoiling too much
-where Namjoon won't ask for every detail, he will
-will get manic if she doesn't text him back and assume the worst
-more protective than he is jealous, but is willing to just shoot and kill right there if need be
-has more restraint outwardly, but he will take drastic measures to keep MC around
-ghosting him is not an option, he is everywhere, and he will remind her until she caves
Hoseok:
-okay crazy stalker with a smile, go off
-clingy with a capital C, he wants her to live in his pocket just like Jungkook does
-jealous in a way that she doesn't pick up on lol, it's the smile that throws her off
-doesn't prefer to kill, but certainly not scared to
-will pretend she's not ghosting him and will camp outside of her door like it's normal
-seems the most normal, is definitely not
Taehyung:
-most obviously the most jealous
-his first interaction with her is indication enough, and he was being nice to her (in his eyes) so I promise he is so much more mean, especially when it eventually comes to her
-extremely protective
-will kill someone to prove his devotion, unprompted
-puppy but feral puppy who bites his leash off
-if ghosted, will bang on her door until she lets him in, regardless of the time
Jimin:
-guard dog, full stop
-territorial and jealous, but eager to please
-his job is fighting, he loves to do so on her behalf, it's like its his peacock moment
-loves to get some idiots blood cleaned off of him by her, he's so gross lol
-handles being ghosted the best, by default
-lasts two days max before he's straight up punching through the door with a smile on his face like nothing's wrong
-you know how villains will have some cat wrapped around their neck that looks evil? that's jimin. he's that cat.

HEY, WELCOME BACK! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! I wanted to request a trans! reader, (ftm) and he's a new student at saiki's school lmao 😭 but anyways, he's like, a himbo. And the only thing that's going on in his mind is the song 'hot in here's by Nelly LOL, I want saiki to be like "wtf" and he's just super weirded out and tries to stay away from the reader as much as possible, but he's gets dragged around by his friends and they invite the reader to a park or something. And the rest is up to you!
A/N: Sorry this took so long and it's a bit shorter than I wanted it to be, I love writing for Saiki and trans readers but I guess I was a little stumped on what to write for this one
Saiki x Trans guy!Reader
Warnings: I had to add some angst s o a little bit of misgendering.
I had been at my new school for about a week and I was already bored. My notebooks that were supposed to be for notes were proof enough of this because they were full to the brim of doodles and little drawings of random people I had imagined. I hadn't talked to many people yet but that was fine with me! They were all nice, some being a little annoying to be around, but I didn't want to make a fool of myself, which I was pretty good at.
The last bell rang and I raced up, almost tripping as I grabbed my notebook as I made my way to the door. I had planned a little movie marathon for myself and I was so excited to get it started. It'd be nice to have someone to watch it with but I wouldn't let that start me from watching my favorite feel-good movies.
"Hey [Y/n]!"
I turn full circle as one of my classmates with who I shared a couple of classes, ran up to me, almost knocking me over with how quickly he approached.
"My buddies and I were going to hang out, did you want to come with?"
I had seen his friends before, Kaido, Aren, and Saiki. Often Teruhashi and Yumehara would join them because it was apparent to me that at least Teruhashi had a crush on one of them. I had talked to all of them at one point, not for long because I didn't want to come off as weird for trying to befriend them anyway, but I had never talked to Saiki.
Saiki seemed pretty cool, even though I hadn't ever heard him say more than one or two words at a time, I felt like there was something about him, and with how his friends would always swarm around him, I probably wasn't wrong. Though anytime I tried to say hi or ask him about his day or even introduce myself, he was suddenly busy or in a conversation with Kaido or Nendou. I didn't mind though, he seemed busy enough.
"Sure Nendou! I didn't really have any plans." I said, grinning at him. Sure I'd have to push back my movie marathon but that could wait, I wouldn't mind.
Nendou lead me to where his friends were, talking the entire way about how there was some sort of event going on and how he had asked if I could come and all his friends were pretty excited about the idea.
"It was weird, Saiki didn't seemed to thrilled." Nendou shrugged, "Though my buddies not the most talkative person ever so I'm not worried about it."
"Well I'm sure we'll have a good time." I say as we exit school, and I see 4 out of the 5 of Nendou's friends, Saiki the only one not there. It was a little strange how he wasn't there but I was sure he probably was already making his way to the park.
On the walk there the five of them make small talk with me, and I tell them about the previous school I went to, and my pets, even showing them pictures of said furry animals. They were all pretty fun to be around and even gushed over my pets, not that they wouldn't.
 "There's a whole bunch of vendors and games in the main square." Aren said, as we finally made it into the park, "Though I swear Saiki would be here already."
We all look around quickly, but there was no Saiki.
"I'm sure he's probably in the square by now," Kaidou said, breaking the silence.
"I'll catch up with you guys, I'm going to run quickly to the restroom, there should be one around here somewhere." I muse to myself before I look around and spot the smaller building that I was sure would be the restroom. "I'll be right back!"
I quickly beelined my way to the building, humming under my breath as I got to the restroom, quickly running in to do my business.
After I was done, I opened the door outside and saw a flash of pink turn the corner, and my eyes widened, that was probably Saiki. I rush after whoever I saw and after a good minute of me playing catchup, they had stopped.
"Hey Saiki," I panted, catching my breath as I was not the best at running with my stupid binder on.
He turned, and for a second I thought he looked suprised to see me.
"Your friends are here by the way." I hum, finally standing back up, "They're pretty cool y'know, they were also looking for you earlier."
I swear I saw him roll his eyes and I had to hold back a snort, "I don't have to go, Nendou invited me but if it's going to make you not want to go I don't have to go."
Before he could reply, someone tapped me on the shoulder and I spun around, face to face with the older man who had come into the restroom after me.
"You dropped this ma'am... You know there's also a woman's restroom here right? It was just around the corner from the men's room." The man pressed my phone into my hand which must have fallen out when I rushed after Saiki.
I took my phone back and dumbfoundedly watched as the man turned and left. Not only did I get misgendered when I felt like I had passed so well for once, and felt good to be outside, but it happened in front of Saiki who was already the last person I wanted anything weird to happen in front of.
"Nevermind," I sigh, slipping my phone into my back pocket as I turn around, my eyes on the ground, "Just tell them I had to run home."
"That dude's an asshole."
I looked up and saw Saiki's expression. It was the first actual expression I had seen from him, and he didn't look very happy about what just happened.
"It was my fault for going in there." I shrugged, "It's fine. I'll forget about it in a little bit."
"To pee? Not your fault at all." Saiki stared at me for a second. "Did you still want to go hang out with my friends? They're pretty good at cheering people up."
"Really? You'd come with?" I let out a little laugh as he stares at me, "What? I feel like I'm the last person you'd want to hang out with."
"No, that's not true." He says, "I'm not good at talking to people."
"I get that." I hum, "But I'm not either, did you want to go be bad at talking to people together? Aren said there's a bunch of different vendors and stuff, we can see if there's any good stuff. I just hope they got some sweet stuff."
He snorts at that, "Alright, let's go then, we don't want to keep them waiting."
"I can see what your friends seen in you now." I say as we start walking to the middle of the park. "Oh. That sounded weird, I promise I didn't mean it like that. I just meant you're comforting to be around."
"Thanks. You're not the first person to say that." He says, and I grin at him.
We continue the rest of the walk in peace, and I keep my eyes on the ground. I didn't really want to be here, but I didn't want to leave, as long as I got to be around Saiki, I was pretty sure I'd be fine.
"Thanks. For what you said back there."
He didn't respond, just nodded, and that felt good enough for me.

Writing Patterns!
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
Tagged by @zombiethingy - thanks for the tag, friend!!
Warning that a few of these are mildly NSFW lmao, half of them are kinktober fics. 1. flotsam and jetsam - chapter 9 Frenchie looked up at the ship in front of him. 2. never seen you shine so bright
Jim is sweeping the floor of the tattoo parlour ten minutes after they closed when Wee John stretches and sighs, breaking the silence.
3. Yippee-Kiyay, Motherfuckers
“You sure you wanna do this?”
4. heel
The attack comes out of nowhere.
5. you and i - we're sweet
“Be quiet. I can be quiet.”
6. maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
“Right, what’s the plan, then?” Archie pants, dragging herself away from Jim’s mouth and grinning at them and Oluwande.
7. already halfway gone
“That’s enough,” Jim pants, rocking back onto Edward’s fingers inside them, “I’m ready.”
8. won't you sing me something for the dark
“Ed –“
9. lord, have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
One minute they’re sparring, loose and easy with far too many bared teeth and just enough curse words, and the next, Jim is spitting in Ivan’s face.
10. oh go on baby, hurt me tonight
“You ready to beg yet?”
Patterns - so I honestly wasn't sure what to expect before I started this, and was pretty surprised to realize how many of them start with dialogue. 6/10, and the other four are all some opening action that loosely sets the scene. I feel like I shouldn't be too surprised about opening with dialogue, as that's often my go-to if I'm not sure how to start a scene.
I think it's especially interesting how 5/8 of the smutty ones start with IMMEDIATE smut (the potentially non-obvious ones are #8 and #9) - this was both because I was trying not to do long scene lead-ups during kinktober, and just out of 'it's nice to jump right in'. Anyway, I thought it interesting!
There is a follow-up coming to this that is the last line in these fics too, which I'm excited to do and see how they compare.
This was a fun excercise, thanks for the tag friend! Tagging, if you want: @yerbamansa, @yourlocal-charlatan, @alfalfairy, @dragonmuse, @redxluna.
I am having a hard time remembering who else of my mutuals writes, so please also consider this an open tag for anyone who sees it and wants to join!!

Dropping this I wrote about cor au then leaving again lmao!!!
7th August, 2018.
The day that life Grimsborough changed for everyone. However, for Louis Leroux, that day wasn't today. He never got to help out in the battle of Grimsborough since he had been hospitalised not long before due to his injuries from his second murder attempt in prison. To say it messed him up was probably an understatement. He was scarred from pretty much head to toe, was in a wheelchair again and sporting new prosthetic arms as they couldn't be reattached like his legs were. He was miserable, stuck in hospital alone with no one to talk to. He had hardly seen anyone he cared for since he went into prison weeks prior, not that he kept track of how long ago that was anyways. He had caught glimpses of his fellow Ad Astra members in prison, but never enough for it to be worthwhile. He thought he was going to die in that cell, and on this specific day he wished he did. He was given the go ahead to be free to move around in his wheelchair recently, so he decided to sit outside of his hospital room for a change of scene. Today was a bad day to choose. He never knew what was going on, and he was constantly seeing people he knew and cared for come in past him in hospital beds, surrounded by medical professionals. Rozetta, Julia, Jones, Rita... And worst of all for him, Joe. Panic immediately rose in him when he saw him pass by. He looked extremely pale, barely consious and had blast trauma all across the left side of his face. It was heartbreaking for Louis, seeing the love of his life on the verge of death. He tried to go after him, only to be stopped by staff and taken back to his own room. He was in tears, he cried as much as his injuries and energy would let him. He knew there was nothing he could do until they allowed visitors into Joe's room. All he could do was wait.
After a few hours, which felt more like a few days, he was able to go see him. He made his way over to the room as quick as he could, leaving no room for any hesitation. He set himself up next to Joe's bed, frowning when he saw him. He was asleep for a start, but his injuries looked so much worse up close. If it was possible for his heart to break even more than it already had, it happened in that exact moment. He swore he'd protect those he cared for, but now felt entirely useless as this entire time he was hooked up in bed with no idea as to what was happening. He was snapped out of his thought when he heard Joe speaking. "Mi amor..?" He sounded weak, exhausted and as if he wanted to just sleep for the rest of his life. "Hey... It's me. I'm here..." Joe smiled a little, turning his head to get a better view of his boyfriend. He seemed more concerned over his healed injuries compared to his fresh ones, it was obvious when he reached a hand out to cup his face. Louis instantly teared up as he leaned into the touch, he hadn't felt this in a long time and he missed it dearly. "I've missed you so much..." Joe said barely above a whisper, but it still got to Louis regardless. "Me too... It's been too long..." He smiled a little as he took Joe's hand in his own. It caused Joe to absentmindedly frown. It wasn't the same. The warmth and comfort from his hand was replaced with a feeling of cold metal. It upset him to think the previous time he held his boyfriends hand would be the very last. Louis picked up on this, and it caused him to frown too. He was framed, it wasn't his fault he was in there, yet all he could do was apologise. "No, it's okay... You can't help it. We'll get through it together. How's that sound?" "Yeah... That sounds good. It would be nice to have you help. Maybe it can help us get closer..." The Spaniard nodded in agreement, the smile returning on his face. "Once we get outta here, I'm gonna give you the best future I can give you. I promise." That was a promise he kept for the rest of his life, to give the love of his life the best future possible.

aslkjdlasjf THIS GD SHOW, argh. i just finished season one, which i thought was a good idea, you know, finish the season before taking a break. *facepalms* i have those annoying things to do again (stupid household chores, every gd day you gotta do things), so it'll be a few hours before i can watch more, but i should be able to watch at least one or two more episodes today, so HOPEFULLY things will be a bit more resolved by tonight x'D
you were so right, there is so much happening, and i think EVERYONE on that gd ship needs a few years vacation after all this x'D
"married divorced remarried and divorced again and still having feelings for each other" asljdalksjda that is so correct, they are just that x'D
it's so fun, they're like "i don't trust him" pretty much all the time, and then Rush is like "so i had a dream" and Young is like "ok, i'll call General O'Neill" and they keep relying on each other so much right now, it's great, and Young risking the whole gd ship to save Rush, after having tried to kill him, what, twice already? amazing ❤
ah, yes, fanfiction ❤ it's so good at casting light on things from different angles, i love that, seeing characters and their motivations from all kinds of different point of views. though, you gif makers do that too and i love it, it's so great to look at different gif makers in the same fandoms and see how you focus different things.
right now i'm pretty exclusively reading McShep fics, but we'll see how that looks once i'm done with sgu x'D if you have any recs, please feel free to share!
btw, i've been trying to remember why i followed you from the start, and i'm pretty sure it's Star Trek, and specifically Spones, which, ALL MY LOVE! but i also want to mention how much i love following someone who gifs a lot of women, i love having more women on my dash! i never finished OUaT back in the days, but all your Regina and Swan Queen gifs are making me want to, and your Michelle Gomez gifs, waah, i do not want to watch CAoS! 😭 but you are kicking me in the butt about finishing Doctor Who too with your gifs of her (i sadly miss most of them though since i have it blacklisted for spoilers), i had no idea she was in it but man did that make me want to watch it when i found out!
okay, sorry that this got so long, even when i'm trying to keep things brief i end up being very wordy. so many things to say!
anyway, i'm gonna go do the things now, the sooner i get them done the sooner i can watch more sgu =D oh, wait, no, you posted something from 1x18 last night! i didn't look at it since i hadn't watched it yet, so i'm gonna go do that first! =D ❤
/Rodney anon
Oh don't be sorry , you can get wordy in my inbox whenever you like :3
You're fast! but why am I surprised, I finished 7 seasons of OUaT in a month lmao.
Well, imagine how it was for those who were watching sgu when it was actually airing, they did not have a chance to go and watch s2 right after s1, and you can :D so other things are not as bad as break between seasons of the show, but yeah, there's always things to do, sucks
askjhdaksjhd 'i just had a very interesting dream' scene is so good, and it so much better when you take it out of context lmao
well, they have to work together, they don't have a choice. you know how things were when he left rush on that planet, eli is smart, and eli was also right
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but eli is still not good enough to do all the work, so no matter how much they don't trust each other, they have to work things out and work together and then finally going towards trust and comradery
well, at least they will try lmao
SPONES!!!!!!! SPOOOONEES! they are everything to me!!!!!
well, if you finish ouat and start caos... I am so sorry in advance lmao
I am not sure I can even explain what mess of the shows are those two, I have similar feelings towards both shows, I love the cast, I love some characters, I love women there, I hate the writers :D
Michelle is stunning in caos, there's also Miranda Otto, and they are like my moms, I love them, this show is worth watching just to look at them, but there's also... the rest of the show and plot asjkhdakjdh
same goes for ouat tbh, some characters are great and actors are doing such a good job and then there's whatever was happening in the show, but it;s still fun if you don't take it all seriously.
you will facepalm a lot and you will have an urge to rip your hair out sometimes, but if you try caos, I will give you two good reasons for it
Tumblr media
that's it, think about it
okay, but you definitely need to watch doctor who, WATCH DOCTOR WHO!

still not gonna fully come back on tumblr yet but i just wanna say that i... finished my dreamworks tier list... i have now seen all 46 of this studio's movies--well, i guess technically not all, since i'm including the direct-to-video release joseph: king of dreams (which, despite only being at the top of the B tier on my list, i do think is pretty underrated and idk why nobody seems to give it a chance), but excluding the trollhunters movie because i've never seen the trollhunters show. maybe someday i will, but right now i'm just not interested.
so, this all just confirmed for me what i've thought for a long time already, which is that dreamworks is an incredibly weird and incredibly inconsistent studio. they've created some of the most beautiful and magical animated films of all time with releases like how to train your dragon, rise of the guardians, and prince of egypt, and some of the most absolute bottom of the barrel trash i've ever had to experience with things like antz, shark tale, and boss baby. and then they've also made a handful of very middle of the road movies, that i wouldn't really say i enjoy all that much, but which i don't think are necessarily bad either--this is the C tier on my list and i will be honest, the first shrek movie was originally in this tier for me because i'm just not that into it. i only moved it up a little because i felt like i had to admit that it is objectively a pretty good movie that was groundbreaking for its time and paved the way for shrek 2 and the puss in boots movies, all of which i love, to exist.
i guess i should share my final ranking, huh? before i do that i will also say that this ranking is absolutely not objective at all and is almost entirely based on my own personal enjoyment. like i said, i originally had shrek 1 in C tier lol. and i have trolls world tour in A tier because i just genuinely love a lot of things about it and very thoroughly have a fun time watching it. the trolls franchise as a whole is so much better than most dreamworks stuff and i will die on this hill. i also tried to rank things from best to worst within the tiers, but i'm very indecisive and some of these movies were hard to rank simply because i couldn't decide if they were closer to "okay" or "bad", or "bad" or "awful"... i could see some of my rankings maybe changing slightly if i thought about it a little more. for now i'm fine with where everything is, though.
anyway, here's my list that is sure to make at least one person want to yell at me lol:
Tumblr media
so, to break it down, my top 5 favorite dreamworks movies are:
Prince of Egypt
Rise of the Guardians
How to Train Your Dragon
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
How To Train Your Dragon 2
(i feel so bad that spirit: stallion of the cimarron got pushed out of the top 5... puss in boots: the last wish just existing + me rewatching HTTYD 2 and remembering how much i love it made that inevitable. but hey, it's still top tier.) and my top 5 least favorite dreamworks movies, starting with the least terrible one, are:
The Boss Baby
Turbo
Shark Tale
Antz
Spirit Untamed
(i watched these movies all out of order and for the longest time i thought nothing would dethrone shark tale as the worst of the worst, but i really did hate antz and spirit untamed that much, which surprised me lmao)
again, if i called your favorite movie bad, that really just means it's not enjoyable to me personally--i'm no professional film critic. also, i feel like the tiers came out sort of weirdly even, and i ended up with 21 movies in S-B tiers and 25 movies in C-F tiers, which really speaks to the inconsistency of dreamworks as a studio. i plan to try and keep up with their releases from now on, so i do hope that kung fu panda 4 & orion and the dark turn out well... but dreamworks keeps doing shit like releasing prince of egypt right after antz or putting out ruby gillman right after puss in boots: the last wish, so i guess we'll see! i'm just glad that i can currently say i've seen basically every movie from this ridiculous studio.

Kara Kara, hihi!
Have you heard Unsubstantial yet?? It's this song about Scara and thinking about the first two chapters of Darling Starling with that song playing in the background is honestly such a vibe
Oh also, it's okay to get tired of something, but don't EVER say that you aren't proud of Marigold Promises when it was so good. Feel free to take breaks, or just don't continue it if you don't feel like it. If you force yourself to finish it, you may not feel so proud of it later. But everything you've written so far was gold. I can bet 90% of us reading it kicked our feet, giggled, twirled our hair, blushed and replayed the scenarios when we got bored in class.
(I am still due my 2k word long essay about the last few chapters, because I've barely had any time with 2-3 exams a week every week because this ain't no school, I accidently joined a testing centre pls send help. I hope you won't mind it if I sent you that even if you decide to not continue it, because I'm so close to my holidays haha)
Anyways, how are you doing? :)
oh my- hi eli 🫶🫶 it's been a hot minute since we last spoke. how have u been?
all things considered, i'm doing alright these days. college is STILL kicking my ass but like... that's a given lmao
i didn't know the full ver of unsubstantial released 😭😭 im listening to it rn as i type this and DAMN it's so BEAUTIFUL GAKSHDJDHDG
and ahhh marigold promises will always be special to me in a way, but there's no easy way of saying i've grown tired of it. i'll figure out what to do with it some day 🤷 but for now there's not gonna be any updates any time soon
it's good to hear that people enjoyed it though ^^ i have been thinking of making another smau for albedo if i ever decide to put marigold promises on a more permanent hiatus. we'll see though
and on your whole essay for marigold, i'll happily accept it. no pressure, though. take your time ^^ i'm always happy to hear from you guys

Went to the doctor this morning and she was actually nice to me for once.
And I say "nice to me" in the most basic way like. She is nice let me start there, but we are at odds a lot because I have chronic conditions that stop me from eating certain vegetables that she thinks I should eat, a chronic condition that stops be from being able to exercise as hard as she wants and despite HER nurse practitioner diagnosing me with one of those she still doesn't understand the exercise fatigue I get lmao.
Under the read more there's some weight discussion and stuff like that :)
Anyway, I was only going because she wouldn't refill my BP meds lmao. But I've lost 10lbs in the last few months which doesn't sound like a whole lot, but for me that's absolutely amazing.
She congratulated me on it and we had to talk about diet and exercise habits so I mentioned that I'd been trying to follow the half veggie, quarter carb, quarter protein when I eat food because that's what's keeping me full in between meals so im less likely to snack.
Then we talked about exercise and how I'm actually exercising at least 5 days a week (and I am. Hybrid Calesthensics has been kicking my ass but it's worth it, and so low impact too) and she seemed surprised at that lmao (this is the same lady who told me walking for an hour on my lunch break wasn't enough exercise but I digress.)
I only started the HC thing last week so I don't think its done much with helping me lose the weight, I think it's just mostly been the diet change LMAO.
Anyway she wants to see me back in January as I continue to work towards losing more weight and as long as she's not gonna be pushy about it I'll continue to see her.
This visit was really the visit I was gonna use to see if I needed to switch doctors with Kaiser lmao.
I do have to go see an audiologist tho bc my ear infection is fully gone but my hearing is still muffled so that's cool. Oh and a dermatologist for this "growth" I've had for like at least since I was a child. But my doctor swears it looks bigger than it did last time she saw me. Ugh.
Anyway we'll see how this goes, I'm real jazzed about the 10 pounds though. That's a lot for me!! Especially since I'm like...seeing the lifestyle changes I made actually do something for once haha.

last night when i stopped playing i aimed myself at a stable and jumped into the tower so i had no choice but to fly there upon opening the game today, even though i was going to fuck around and do something else lol. at least stables make me remember my amiibo...
omg its the infamous underpants stable...finally i get to see what it's all about. i should run around in mine too. solidarity
PRINCESS ZELDA ORDERED THEM TO--????
OKAY GIRL GET IT IG LOL
lmao when i talked to penn with no clothes on he was like. are you gonna investigate undercover??
SCREEEAM this guy is like oh you're dressed in our new uniform
aw. beedle goes "we meet again and again - i wonder how many times we met in our past lives!"
the girl with the dogs who straight up won't look at or speak to any naked men, including me. lesbian queen
alright, up the mountain road i go...totally naked
killing me to ignore these koroks but they're all just too far out of the way :/
oh i found it! lmao they really do think i'm one of them
ik this is like. fake zelda. im hoping its yiga zelda tho bc this is simply too silly. it reeks of yiga shenanigans. real fake zelda was a bit uncanny
ah, i'm required to go gearless for this...smh this eventide bullshit
"we'll learn from your methods, we're just not confident in the physical side of this" THIS GAME IS RATED E FOR EVERYONE
wow. i just BARELY made it. whew!!
omg they MISHEARD HER?? it's not even a yiga thing?? man come on this truly is the urban legend of zelda
rip they put their clothes back on. it wouldve been funny if they got so inspired they stayed naked forever lol
i guess i'll put my clothes back on, too...
froze in terror like a prey animal when i saw this block puzzle but i did actually get it this time.
standing under a talus's crotch trying to ascend up thru its body when i caught sight of zelda and my throat got a little tight. life truly is so textured
lol these treasure hunting bros are here. thank you for telling me exactly how to solve the puzzle! what is this skyward sword (sorry skyward sword)
most of my complaints re: tears of the kingdom center on botw exhaustion - that i'm sort of tired of the map and have no more joy of exploration anymore after 100%ing such an enormous game (almost twice - on the first file i did everything except the korok seeds, but i got enough to max out my inventory i think). but every once in awhile i will come across an area that looks totally and completely innocuous and get incredibly tense out of nowhere. and sure enough in a minute i will remember, "a guardian used to be here," or "a lynel used to be here." it takes a minute, but i do remember! and even knowing they aren't here anymore, it's a little hard to relax. if i were ever to play botw again*, i bet i would feel the same way about areas that have hands now lol. (*highly unlikely given the previously mentioned botw exhaustion - maybe in many years after some other zeldas have come out for me to chew on! i highly doubt i'm going to replay totk either. as much as i love it, this is It. inevitably though there will be dlc so this runthrough won't be my only time playing it Ever)
ANYWAY i have to take a break now to do stuff and idw this post to be really long again. so.

I agree with out about Roy & Keeley, it definitely felt like the door was left open for them! Now, you know I have to ask this one - Ted & Rebecca?
anonymous asked: dare i ask for your current honest thoughts on tedbecca or
I may have had to stare at this ask for a few minutes and think before answering this asjakdjkjdj, oh wow okay let's do this (this is about to get very long and i might end up rambling too much, i apologize lmao)
I have always loved their dynamic since season 1. Their dynamic and their interactions is what got me to love this show, to be honest (I was not interested in the show at first because it was a show about football and I could not care less about sports hahaha) and the way the show developed them was so beautiful. Personally, while I was watching the first season, I already shipped them but I would have been okay with them being friends or platonic soulmates, as they call it.
However, season 2 changed that for me. Carol of The Bells was the episode that made me want them to be together. At that point, I could not imagine them not ending up together. Which is why it was so upsetting when after that episode, they did not interact with each other that much throughout the season, which was odd. I still loved the scenes we got though and it did not made me love them less. I just thought, maybe when they are both out of the dark forest they'll interact more next season.
Now onto season 3......oh boy. Okay, I thought that their dynamic in this season was great and I am glad they got more interactions together (still less than what we got in the first season, but they did talk to each other more than in season 2). With Rebecca's storyline with Tish and her "hints", I was really hoping that they would all lead up to Ted. I mean, with the green matchbook, shite in knighting armor and "you will have a family, you're going to be a mother", they could all lead up to Ted, it makes sense. Also, the very laced hallway scene (which apparently, meant nothing lol) did convince me they would happen. Then the rest of the scenes we got made me think they could possibly be endgame (Rebecca using Oklahoma on Ted TWICE, the phonecall in We'll Never Have Paris, Rebecca keeping the green army man all along 😭 and the last scene in International Break "I wanna win for us too") just for me to be at peace with them not getting together at all in Mom City (well, his last scene with Dottie and the third truth bomb hinted that Ted's leaving, so)
Now onto the finale, I thought their last scenes together were great (even though the stands scene and the airport scene stung, but it did hurt so good lol, and the scene of them in rebecca's house....what the hell was that) and I did expect them to not end up together, fine by me, but what made me angry was their individual endings. Ted goes back to Kansas (even though during his scenes in the airport, I felt that he was about to decide to stay last minute) and there are implications that he's not keeping in touch with everyone from Richmond and Rebecca sees a little girl and gets together with boat man who I couldn't be bothered with. Both of them deserved better than the endings they got.
So, even though I was not a fan of how both of their characters ended up in the finale, I will always love whatever they had. I will always love the connection they have and shared (which it turns out, according to brendan, is not what they have planned after all and was made by accident lmao). I believe they could have been great together and maybe in another time, they'll end up together. We'll never see it but maybe they will find each other again and both of them will be ready for each other (I may have decided on seeing them as a right person, wrong time ship and embrace the angst)
Anyways, if you've read this and you hated whatever happened in the finale, here's what you can do: you can consider International Break as the series finale (and tbh it should have been the series finale, except there could be more scenes of Ted) or watch this alternate ending or read a ton of fix-it fics on ao3, there are great ones in the Ted Lasso/Rebecca Welton tag <3
