Like Betta Fish Do - Part 12

Masterpost of ao3 link and all parts.

wc 2295 (Chapter 9 when on ao3)

“Hey, it’s Danny, right?” asked the person standing next to Danny’s seat. They shifted, tucking a long strand of pitch black hair behind their ear.

“Yes?”

“We thought—”

“She thought,” said the woman who practically barreled into the first speaker’s back. She hooked her chin over the other’s shoulder with a grin as she adjusted her hijab. “Cloe thought, but we all agree.”

“Which is why I said we, I’m Cloe, this is Fara, that guy over there is José.” She motioned to a young man with a head full of curly brown hair and an easy smile waiting by the door. “We need a fourth for the group project, want to join us?”

“Me?” Danny repeated in surprise. No one in Casper High ever wanted him on a team, not unless it was Tucker and Sam.

“Totally. Your comment today on the possible advancements of propulsion technology was just the sort of thing that we’d love to do our topic on. It didn’t look like you had a group?”

“No, I don’t, not yet. That would be nice,” Danny said with a crooked smile. He’d been worried about having to find a group to work with so the offer was a huge weight off. Honestly the presentation was way too much of their grade in his opinion (but maybe that’s just because he had been dreading it).

“That’s great!” Cloe smiled back at him. “Do you have time to meet now? Just, like, to a coffee shop or the library. We can hash out the basics and what everyone should research before we meet up again the next time.”

“Sure. I could almost always use a coffee,” Danny said as he shoved his aging laptop in his backpack.

“Yeah, we can kinda tell with the…” Fara pointed at her own face, finger circling around her eyes.

Danny barked out a surprised laugh when Cloe let out an affronted “Fara!”

“Hey, I’ve been cultivating these dark circles since high school. They’re like fine wine,” Danny said. Snarky he knew how to handle.

“Oh, José will like you,” Fara said with a laugh. She linked arms with Danny and practically dragged him towards the door. “José! I found you another coffee addict.”

“Thank you,” he praised, “because Cloe only drinks the most basic bitch drinks and Fara likes tea.”

“I make an exception for pumpkin spiced lattes and hot chocolate,” Fara said with coy smile.

“See? See what I have to put up with. Please, my dude— is it my dude?” Danny nodded in response. “My dude, please tell me you drink real coffee.”

“With as many espresso shots as they’re legally allowed to add,” Danny said.

“A man after my own heart— a heart that runs on coffee,” José said with a laugh as they all spilled out the front of the engineering building.

Maybe this presentation wouldn’t be so bad after all.

Okay, so maybe Danny was just really not used to being around people any more.

Really, really not used to it.

He’d only spent an hour or so with the other’s at the coffeeshop, but between that, class, picking up a treat for Jason, and just having to go back and forth throughout the city Danny felt his nerves crawling under his skin. Every noise from every apartment around was so loud. Even his fridge seemed to be screaming at him with its incessant whine.

And there was no where to get away from it.

If he went out, Danny would just be surrounded by the sounds and smells and lights of the city. People would jostle into him or sit too close on the bus and— Danny shuddered at the idea of being touched by strangers right then.

He rubbed his fingers against his palms as he shifted and tried to lay more comfortably on his small sofa. He had his t.v. on, streaming mindless video game play throughs, but he wasn’t really paying attention to it. It was just to try and block out some of the noise.

There were things about the city that he loved, sure. The access to food was great. There was an amazing variety in walking distance of his place or campus. He’d also found a few great stores— a game store and a second hand clothing shop were top of his list. It was great how there was always a distraction.

But there was always a distraction.

Nothing ever really stopped in the city. That constant hum, after a few weeks of it, was really getting to Danny. He hadn’t thought he was rural or anything, but Amity’s hundred thousand or so people never prepared him for living here.

He closed his eyes and made himself take a slow breath.

Jason was going to show him some places around the city today.

He had to get a handle on himself before then.

He’d been trying for an hour now— or so his phone alerted him to when he checked it for the hundredth time. He laid it back on his chest and closed his eyes. When it started ringing a moment later he nearly jumped out of his skin.

‘Jason Calling’, it read. He fumbled to swipe the screen. “Hi.”

“Hey. My meeting wrapped early so I was going to head your way now if that’s good?”

Danny swallowed, trying to force back the buzzing under his skin. “Oh, um, yeah, sure.”

The line was silent for a pause. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Jason snorted. “That’s a lie.”

Danny flung an arm over his eyes and forced himself to take another breath. “I guess, just… It’s stupid.”

“Fish.”

The endearment was more gentle than Danny felt he deserved. He was being stupid about this. Who struggled to be around people? And he wanted to see Jason too. It was just… everyone— everything else.

He could hear the sounds of the city on Jason’s end and tried to focus on his voice instead. “Come on fish, talk to me.”

“It’s just— being in the city all the time… it’s just getting to me a little, I guess. I’m not used it it. That’s all. I’ll be fine.”

Jason gave a considering hum. “Okay. Change of plans. Do you have a leather jacket?”

“What? No?”

“Okay. Are you up for one stop first? We’ll make it quick.”

“One stop before what?” Danny asked as he pulled himself up by the back of the couch.

“Before my new plan for the day.” Jason sounded smug.

“I don’t— we don’t have to—”

“Trust me, okay?”

It was such an earnest request that it brought Danny to pause. He swallowed once more before he found his voice. “Of course I will.”

“Good. Then I’ll see you in twenty. Go put on jeans, a long sleeve shirt, and some sturdy shoes.”

The abrupt end to the call had Danny blinking down at his phone before he pulled himself up to do as he was told.

Jason studied Danny as the other came out of his apartment building. He hadn’t liked how Danny sounded on the phone and he didn’t much like how Danny looked now. It was like the other had tucked all his loud, jagged, wonderful edges away. It was like he was hiding from the world.

Well, Jason would just have to fix that.

“Just one quick stop,” Jason said, handing Danny a helmet.

“I’m fine, you don’t have to ba—”

“Fish,” Jason said firmly. He waited until Danny was actually looking at him (not frowning at the ground) to continue. “It’s okay if you’re not okay. You don’t have to apologize to me or about it or about you. You can be not fine.”

Fuck he was sounding like his well meaning family now. Still, it got a wobbly smile from Danny, so maybe it was worth parroting back the words. The words didn’t always help, he knew that. They certainly didn’t fix stuff that he still struggled with some days, but they couldn’t hurt. It couldn’t hurt to be reminded that someone cared.

“Okay. One quick stop,” Danny agreed.

“Right,” Jason said. He turned and straddled his motorcycle. “You ever ridden before?”

“Yeah, actually I have. A friend has one.”

“Huh.” Jason was actually a little surprised by that. “Okay then hang on tight. We won’t be doing anything crazy in the city, but we might have to stop quickly. Some drivers are jackasses about motorcycles.”

The bike dipped under him as Danny settled on behind him. There was an obvious moment of hesitation before Danny let himself slide forward. As Danny settled along his back, Jason had a thought of how well Danny fit. He briefly squeezed the arms wrapped around his waist in notice before he started his bike up and they took off through the city.

The one quick stop was to get Danny a riding jacket and gloves; Jason wanted to be sure that Danny would be warm and, more importantly, protected on the drive. As it was, Jason drove more cautiously than normal, very aware that Danny’s safety was in his hands.

It wasn’t long to the store, and he tried to make sure the shopping didn’t take too long. He could practically see Danny’s edges fraying. He did make Danny try on several jackets, even if he tried to make sure they didn’t linger, so that Danny could find the right one.

“Are you sure this is it?” Danny asked, tugging on the hem of the black leather jacket. It had a bit of a retro cut, but there was enough modern padding that if Danny fell off the road rash wouldn’t be that bad. Besides, Danny looked good in it; it cinched nicely at his waist and fit his shoulder snugly.

“Yep,” Jason said. He reached out and smacked Danny’s hand away when he tried to take a peak at the price tag again. “Stop that. I already told you I’m buying.”

“Jason—”

“Just accept it. Give me the jacket and go pick out some gloves,” he said.

Danny rolled his eyes, but shrugged off the jacket and handed it over. Jason took the moment to explain the mater to the sales person, who was cooperative about not saying the total out loud. The knowing smirk was a bit weird though. It even had Danny glancing at Jason suspiciously, but they got out of the store with what was needed and Danny none the wiser to what a good motorcycle jacket could cost.

Jason took the time to sync up both helmets so that they could talk on the ride if they wanted to, but he left the matter to Danny. It turned out to be mostly silent once they left the city, especially since Jason wasn’t explaining where they were going. The longer they were on the open roads, the more that Jason could feel Danny relaxing against his back until. Finally he settled in and rested his head against Jason’s shoulder blade.

“Thank you.”

“Ain’t seen nothing yet,” Jason rumbled back.

Danny just answered with a soft hum before he fell silent again.

Jason took them on the highway, down some side streets just for the view, and through a smaller city to the more secluded parking lot that he knew about. He could feel Danny freeze up behind him, and chuckled as he pulled off his own helmet. Danny did the same as he stumbled off the bike.

“Come on,” Jason said. He practically had to guide Danny down the path and to the top of the first bluff where the concrete ended.

Danny let out a breath exhale. “Oh, wow.”

His mouth hung slightly open as he stared out at the crashing waves and the beach that stretched out before them. A cloudy fall day wasn’t exactly the best time to visit the coast (not that they were the only ones doing so), but Danny still stared at it like it was the best thing he’d seen in a long time.

He stared at it like it gave him life.

Jason found he wanted— suddenly and fiercely— to find a million more moments that would bring that same spark to Danny’s eyes. He didn’t want Danny to stop living just because he had died.

Jason didn’t want to stop living just because he had died.

Not anymore.

He reached down to undo the knots on his boots with Danny scrambling to do the same. Laces tied together, Jason slung the boots across his shoulders and made his way onto the beach. He reached out to help balance Danny as he stumbled a little on the soft white sand.

When they had gotten to the edge of the water, Jason hung back slightly in the damp, but not wet, sand while Danny, with all of his normal abandon, rolled up his pants legs and barreled into the waves with a whoop. He ran in and out of the surf like one of those sand piper birds as the wind whipped his dark hair around his face like a storm of shadows.

Laughing as he was chased by a larger swell of water, Danny stumbled back to Jason’s side. He took a deep breath, filling his lungs with salt air, and then just slumped heavily against Jason like he was boneless. Jason took the weight easily.

Jason grinned down at Danny, who’s eyes were still locked on the water. “Worth the trip?”

“Yeah. Yeah, worth the trip. Completely. Thank you Jason.”

“’Course. Gotta get the fish to water now and then.”

“Shut up, dead boy.” Danny rolled his eyes, but his grin didn’t drop for a second.

Jason chuckled, but found he didn’t need to say anything back. He was content to just watch Danny watch the ocean.

AN: Finally an update for you all~ ngl, there are some rough spots I'm not entirely happy with, I feel you can really tell what I wrote when I was feeling really, really poorly. But that's what a re-write is for, I guess!

The classmates won't show up too much, but I needed an outside perspective and to show Danny is settling in- even if he's struggling with some things.

Apologies for any typos, I currently want to melon ball my eye out from this migraine so you know, words are hard. Anywho, stay delightful, darlings!

My New Addiction. Pt 1

><><><><><><><><

Yeah so I went very overboard with this and I think I’ll make a part 2 eventually. Def a slow burn mutual pining type thing.

Also lmk if the Spanish is off at all!!

———————————

Octane x Fem!Reader

CW: mutual pining, s l o w burn, swearing,

You did it. You finally did it, you were a Legend! An Apex Legend! You worked your ass off and you made it, you were on the way to meet everyone and get settled into your new home. Yes you were nervous, you’re a fan of almost all the legends and now you were one of them, how could you NOT be nervous? You breathe in and out as the momentum slows and you realize that you’ve arrived. The door gets opened by the driver and you exit, your bags already being taken up to your room.

As you were lead to the main area where everyone was gathered, you heard music and chatter before you got there. Everyone got quiet when you entered and the first one to say something was none other than Mirage.

“Hey hey! There’s the new gal! Welcome to our uni-un- special group! I’m Elliot, also known as Mirage.” He takes a little bow and suddenly another one of him wraps his arm around himself. It was confusing but you laugh nonetheless at his greeting.

Soon Ajay came up and shook your hand, smiling. “Hey now, welcome to da family! I’m Lifeline on da field but you can call me Ajay. What’s ya name?” You smile back, shaking her hand. Thee Lifeline, she’s literally so iconic and you’re just buddies with her suddenly. It was hard to maintain composure. “I’m Y/n! Nice to meet everyone!” You say cheerfully.

Fuse hollers out “and she’s a looker! What a deal!” The typical thing Fuse would say, soon being nudged by his own partner Bloodhound. That earned a chuckle from the one eyed Aussie and a kiss was placed on the masked hunter’s temple in apology. You thought they were flirtatious with each other but didn’t know they were actually together!

You went down the line of greetings until Ajax sighed and looked visibly annoyed. “Now where is that fool? I told him ta show up! SILVA YA BETTA GET YA ASS OVA HERE RIGHT NOW!” She shouted, soon enough you all hear distant mechanical sounds at a hurried pace. “Sorry Che! Sorry! Got a little carried away with the livestream! Did I miss the new guy?” He asked absentmindedly as he entered the room, everyone basically just gestures towards you and he soon looked over himself. “Oh! Hola! Welcome welcome! I’m Octavio! Nice to meet you, chica!” He walked over and greeted you personally, taking off his goggles revealing his eyes to you. He doesn’t reveal his face online or during the matches so you hadn’t seen his face before. What you did see though, was extremely attractive.

The evening started to liven up, as you were shown to your room and got to change. Wraith, who you came to know as Renee, told you about the welcome party they were throwing for you at the bar they go to. It was a special bar exclusively for the legends and higher ups in the industry to keep from getting bombarded with fans, paparazzi and onlookers. It was the best place for them to unwind other than their personal quarters. You nod and decide to change into something a little nicer. A form fitting top, with a loose sweater over it and some jeans. Nothing fancy but it was nicer than your typical outfit.

First thing you see was Elliott, Loba, Octavio and Natalie (Wattson) on the dance floor having a ball. They were tearing it up and once Loba caught sight of you she rushed over and dragged you to join. “Come on beautiful! You’re the guest of honor tonight! Want something to drink?” She asks as she pulls you into the group of friends dancing about.

You nod and tell her to get something strong but fruity and she just winks and says ‘leave it to me’ and waltzed off to the bar. A few songs and drinks in, you were feeling pretty loose, you were sitting in a booth with Ajay, Octavio, Renee, Loba and Elliott. They kind of already inserted themselves as your clique for now until they all get to know you and you basically choose yourself. You couldn’t complain though, you were enjoying every moment of this and as the night went on, the more comfortable you got. Not to mention you got to see Octavio’s full face for most of the night and holy hell he was attractive. You already had a crush on the daredevil but now seeing his face, his smile, his eyes. Your heart melted, you tried extremely hard not to stare at the man, failing and getting caught a few times. The girls were quick yo notice and once Octavio left the table to go to the bathroom, Loba immediately leaned over.

“Someone’s got an eye on the speedster hm?” She grinned, chin on a hand, leaning closer onto the table. Your face flushed red and you attempted to deny it but everyone already knew. Ajay not understanding the attraction but she didn’t judge. He was also basically her brother so it was weird for her to see him in that light in any way.

The rest of the night went great, nothing crazy happened. Just a party and getting to know a few of the legends you’ll be fighting and fighting along side.

About a month or so passes by and it was your first time to be in a duos match with Octane. He knocked on your door early in the morning already hyper. You groggily open the door and see him bouncing a leg while he waited. “What’s up Tavi?” You ask through a yawn, he grinned and handed you a coffee he had just gotten. “Here! It’s got an extra shot in it, gotta make sure you can keep up with me! Don’t want you falling behind, besides we gotta kick ass today and get a win! It’s our first time getting paired up!”

You couldn’t help but smile at him, he was more excited than you thought he would’ve been, not that you thought he was gonna be excited in the first place but it was nice to know he was looking forward to fighting with just the two of you. You had been in trios together and he was as chaotic as you’d imagine. Rushing in. Losing sight of him entirely. Him leading squads to you. All the fun stuff Octane does. One thing though was you’d never actually used his jump pad. You have done your best to avoid that, you didn’t know what it was. You could drop out of the airship fine so it wasn’t the height that bothered you, you weren’t sure as to why you didn’t want to fly off that thing.

“Thanks Tavi, we’ll do great today.” You take a sip of the slightly stronger coffee that was gifted to you with a hum. “Mmm, delicious. Wanna come in? I was just gonna start making some food.” You offer and he shrugs. “Cant turn down a free meal can I?” He walked inside your little place with you and plopped himself onto a chair, leg bouncing as he sat. He really could just never keep still. As you were cooking and making conversation a few other legends come to the door, Octane opening it for you while you had your hands full.

A few familiar voices chime in, saying good morning and good luck. You heard Ramya nudge her way in. “Heyy newbie! How’s it goin? Wanted to see if you wanted to make a bet with me ya?” You had been warned about Ramya’s bets and stakes. You squint your eyes with a grin, brimming with curiosity. “Depends on what the bet is. Shoot.” She chuckled and placed both hands on her hips. “If my team wins, you gotta do something for us for a week. If you win, vise versa. Easy.” You raise your eyebrow and look over at Octavio, he’s smirking. Always up for a challenge. “HahHAH!” He laughs loudly and wraps an arm around you. “WHEN we win, be sure not to be sore losers.”

You sigh in defeat as they leave, now the stakes were higher. You didn’t want to do things for Ramya and Ajay for a week! Let alone knowing that Octavio would literally never let you live it down. You look over at the green haired daredevil as he was eating the simple breakfast you had made. “Tavi, we gotta win now.” He chuckled and looked at you. “If we lose, you owe me a kiss.” You owed him what now? Your face must’ve said the same thing because he smirked. “Good incentive huh?” He teased. You just sipped your coffee with a gaze. “Maybe I don’t wanna win now.” You say softly, kind of hoping he heard but also not. He did though and his eyebrow quirked. He licked his lips, getting a little speck of food off. “Well well, don’t threaten me with a good time, Señorita.” God he was hot. You were no stranger to getting distracted by him during matches, he was always laying down casual flirts to you but you assumed that was towards most people, like how Elliott flirts with everyone.

Wasn’t long til the match began. Octavio was laying it on thick, if you had slipped up or got knocked he would wink and say things like;

“Wow someone really wants that kiss.”

“Come on, Chica. I know you want to kiss me but this is a bit much.”

“Should I kiss you now so you keep up?”

All of it was NOT helping you with this ordeal. Soon enough though you hear the announcement of

3 REMAINING SQUADS.

You take a breath and heal up from the last fight you just finished, looking at Octane with a grin. “Hey we might actually win this thing!” You say excitedly. He nods and snaps a selfie with you. “Maybe you should kiss me if we win. How ‘bout that speedster?” You tease and he laughs a bit. “Like I said before. Don’t threaten me with a good time, hermosa.”

You cocked your head a bit, asking what that meant and he ignored you. As he ran off to find the last couple squads. You roll your eyes and follow in suit. All and all you didn’t win and Ramya and Ajey had, they were cheering and happily teasing you two for just barely losing. If Octane hadn’t rushed in when Ramya was downed he wouldn’t have gotten himself killed. You sighed and made your way back to the ship to return home. Octavio returning soon enough himself.

It was awkwardly silent between you two as the whole group returned, you both walked towards the winning duo, who both has smiles plastered onto their faces. “Don’t worry mates, we don’t have anything planned just yet. Enjoy your freedom for now!” Ramya patted both you and Octavio’s back and pushed you along. You two chuckled and you sighed a bit “I’m so nervous to find out what they have in mind for us.” Octavio shrugged and looked over at you “Eh I wouldn’t stress about it, Cariño. Whatever they come up with won’t be the worst thing.” You look at him, yet another nickname you don’t understand.

You don’t even bother trying to ask because you figured he wouldn’t tell you anyways. You sigh once again and rub the back of your neck. “You ok? Sore or something?” He asks with concern, looking right where you just massaged. “Yeah kind of. My neck is bugging me.” You admit and soon you feel two hands on your shoulder and where the base of your neck is. You let out a breath of relief as you started to feel the knots surface and loosen under his touch. Surprisingly he was really good at massages. You let out soft sounds of pleasure due to the tense muscles finally being worked on. “Oh my gosh Tavi..” you whisper out. What you didn’t see it the pink flush under his mask, the sounds he’s getting out of you was getting to him, his core beginning to heat up and his shorts slowly getting tighter, he felt dirty and a little ashamed his body reacted to something so innocent.

Soon enough he stopped and chuckled a bit “Yeahhh I kind of got magic hands Y’know?” He wiggled his fingers by his face, smirking in a silly way along with it, making you laugh a bit. There was a moment where you both kind of just looked at each other in silence, you catch him glance at your lips and back onto your eyes, you did the same thing. You heart skips a little when you see him leaning towards you, only to be interrupted by Elliott coming literally out of nowhere. “HEY! You guys almost had it! Good game.” He held out two fists for you guys to bump knuckles and you jump from the sudden voice and happily give him what he was lookin’ for. Can’t leave him hangin like that. He smiled and put his hands on his hips. “Well what you guys have planned? Anything fun? Can I come? I’m not doing anything and if you need some company I’d love to join you… I’m really bored.” He admitted his true intentions that he just wants some buddies to hang with and you both chuckle.

“We don’t have anything specific planned, just chillin until we gotta go do something.” You typically had a conference with paparazzi and interviewers after games but today it was scheduled for later so you’d all go get dinner afterwards. Elliott shrugged a bit and the three of you just hung out, Elliott being the metaphorical ‘cock block’ for Octavio. He unintentionally stayed close to you throughout the hangout session before you guys split off from Elliott to head to each of your rooms. Octavio sighed a bit and ran his hand through his hair “Well chica, as sad as it is we must depart from each other to go get fancier than I’d like.” He chuckled a bit before taking your hand and placing a kiss on your knuckles. “See ya!” He winked and ran off towards his room.

Once he was behind his closed door he ran his hands over his face, sighing. A lot was going through his mind, well more than usual. His attraction to you was gonna get him in trouble if he wasn’t careful. He tried to distract himself and actually make himself presentable for this press conference thingie that he hardly enjoyed going to. Only thing he enjoyed was his fans seeing him and interacting with him. At least he would see you dolled up right?

Oh God. He was gonna see you dolled up.

Enemies to Lovers Part 3 of however many it takes for my coworker to Love Vil

Summary: You're living at Vil's house for the summer, and of course nothing can go as you planned. (Also, you guys are getting this a couple hours earlier than my coworker because I had time to gender neutralize it, so shh don't tell her)

Part One. Part Two. Part Four. Part Five. Part Six. Part Seven. Part Eight. Part Nine. Part Ten. Epilogue.

Despite Vil assuring you that he would provide everything you could need over break, you still decided to get a part time job. Your resume didn't exactly translate well in another world (apparently the jobs that people in your world had come up with didn't exist here) so you had bullied Crowley for a recommendation letter before you left for break. Despite his lazy nature, it was quite good, so you were able to get a job quickly.

That part time job quickly became a full time job due to lack of staff. At first it was fine. You were saving up money for yourself and Grim, you were getting experience in jobs of this world, and you were able to avoid Vil for the most part due to your chaotic schedules. If you were being completely honest, this was the best part. You weren't ready to look at your conflicting feelings for him yet.

But we don't always get what we want, now do we?

You'd pulled your back at work, and instead of addressing it early, you had continued to work over it until you'd become a mess. Your sleep schedule was off, and you were nauseous which was bad for your eating habits.

You had had to call off work today, things had gotten so bad. You had told Grim to keep it quiet, but he must have blabbed because…

"Come, we are going to the spa." You could tell Vil was trying to give you an out by making it seem like it was a friend offer, but you knew he knew.

"No thanks," you said, hoping he would leave.

Vil frowned at you. "Even on your break, you are overworking yourself. Shriveled potatoes do not flourish."

You were about to pout at him, and say something snarky, but he had already moved to massaging your shoulders.

Apparently, he was really good at this. You felt yourself practically melting at his touch, feeling the stress and pain fade away for a moment. You could get addicted to this feeling if you weren't careful.

You could get addicted to Vil…

After a couple moments of heaven, he pulled back.

"I assure you, the masseuse we have on retainer is very good. Her first and foremost background is physical therapy. She has worked miracles for me many times."

You had to stop yourself from asking him to just continue massaging you instead. But you knew he was right. A physical therapist would be better. But it begged the question why he had one in the first place. You'd worry about that later.

He was definitely right, the masseuse worked wonders. After your massage, Vil had had the other employees of their home spa give you the total treatment. You felt more refreshed than you had since you had arrived.

The next day, as you were about to head to work, Vil had pulled you to the side.

"Your dedication is admirable, but if you break yourself you will be of use to no one. Be careful."

He then handed you a bag he had personally assembled full of snacks, then sent you on your way.

…

At some point during the summer, you couldn't quite remember when, you had taken to having your lunch breaks together. He would come by the shop you worked in, you would sit in comfortable silence, and then you would part ways.

It became so much of a pattern that the day Vil didn't show up, you panicked a little.

Near the end of your break, you got a call.

"Shrimpy!!!!!"

"Floyd?" You questioned. "How did you get my number?"

"Hee hee."

That wasn't an answer, but you figured it was all you were going to get.

"What's up?"

"Hee hee, where's Betta fish I wonder?"

"Betta fish…" you muttered, trying to remember who belonged to the nickname. "Oh, Vil? I don't know, he's…. Wait."

You heard Floyd guffawing on the other end of the phone call.

"Floyd, what do you know about where Vil is?"

"Azul wants to see you. I'd show up if I were you, or Jade and I will give Betta fish a biiiiiig squeeze!"

Then he hung up.

You looked down at your phone, and saw an address from an unknown number, along with a picture of a tied up, very annoyed looking Vil.

You got permission to leave work early on "family emergency" and raced to the address.

You arrived at what seemed to just be a beach house. You knocked on the door and Floyd threw it open, squeezing you in a hug so tight you couldn't breathe.

"Shriiiiiimpyyyyyy you came! I knew you would!"

You did your best to "tap out" of Floyd embrace, but to no avail, until you heard,

"Fu Fu, you can play with Shrimpy later, Azul wants to see them right now."

"Hi Jade," you said drily. "Where's Vil, and what are you…."

"No need to worry, all will be explained in time. Follow me."

Floyd begrudgingly let you down and stalked off after Jade, you in tow. At length, they arrived in an office. Azul was sitting at his desk looking the very picture of a mob boss, while Vil sat tied to one of the chairs across from Azul's desk, looking the very picture of annoyed.

"Took you long enough, Potato. I was beginning to think you'd leave me to the eels." He groaned.

"Believe me, it was very tempting," you hummed, and took the opportunity you knew you would never get again to muss up Vil's hair. If looks could kill….

"Alright, Azul. What do you want?"

He smiled at you, and gestured to the other chair. Once you sat, he leaned in close.

"I'd like to offer you a job."

🐁⏳🎲from the Knack ask game for any oc you want!!

Thanks for the asks for the Knack themed ask game! I'll answer them for To Not Falling Off Cliffs and pick an OC based off a dice roll! And that OC is... Tiffany!

🐁Shifter: If your OC could be any animal what would they pick? What do you think they would be?

Knowing Tiffany, she'd probably pick something aquatic and pretty, like a betta fish. However, in personality she is closer to that of a magpie: smart with a soft spot for shiny things.

⏳Time Manipulation: Does your OC have any addictions? What are they?

Not really. You could argue that she is addicted to being the centre of attention, but I feel like that is playing very, very loose with the definition of addiction.

🎲Probability Manipulation: Is there a concept of fate in your WIP? Can your character fight against it?

Fate is a central aspect of To Not Falling Off Cliffs and its plot revolves around characters fighting against it. Tiffany is motivated by self-preservation and is reluctant to fight against fate. However, she does eventually decide to fight it because she cares more about her own autonomy than her self-preservation.

I’m still alive

I’ve started this as a side blog to post art and musings off my main comics tumblr.

I was making comics and for a few years but stopped because my life suddenly became very turbulent. My work-life balance has been a nightmare for the past few years but I’ve been gradually getting back into art-making.

Here’s a betta WIP I’ve been working on.

I’m thinking about documenting my trial and error journey to whatever form of artistic rehabilitation this has been. I’ve noticed that a lot of it has become reprogramming myself to fade old habits into new ones through a sort of gradual replacement process.

Learning to sit down and just do the thing has been a process. It’s strange because it used to be almost as though my life revolved around art-making in the past. What happened? Learning to be kind to myself in getting back to it has also been a process.

I’ve also been working on a larger-scale painting. Here it is in progress.

It’s a lot easier for me to be a consumer than a creator despite every fibre of my being pushing me to make things. I need to emote. I need to express. I’m overflowing with things I want to talk about, stores I want to tell, reactions, commentary, etc.

I’ve gotten a new digital imaging program. I was formally trained on Adobe programs but they decided to become landlords who charge monthly rent instead of letting you buy your software the way they used to. I pay to power my saw or sander but I don’t pay a monthly fee to rent them. I paid for my tools. This has been especially demoralizing because digital post-production is a part of my process. It’s been a tremendous hurdle in sharing my work. Learning how to use the new software is also a hurdle I’m learning to overcome. I keep sitting here thinking, “omg, am I old?? Please let this be because it’s completely backward and not because I’m becoming some Tech Grandparent.” I learn best by doing and by being able to ask questions. Forums make the uptake difficult. I’m working hard regardless. Again, the emphasis is being kind to myself.

I still have a job that has me working 60 hour weeks. Between generational poverty, student debt, and the cost of living, changing jobs isn’t feasible right now. The best I can do is find time when I can find time so that I can do what I need to do to take care of my mental health.

Twitter is collapsing right now and that was probably the catalyst I’ve needed. Social media is designed to be addictive. I like the idea of a slower internet.

I feel the rush

Addicted to your touch

Big communication

Tell me what you want

Translate your vibration

Let your body talk to me, baby love

If you wanna show me what

You've been scheming up

If you wanna

Trust the simulation

Don't you let it break

Every stimulation

Promise I can take

What you wanna give

Boy, you betta show me what

You've been scheming up

You got my heartbeat racing

My body blazing

I feel the rush

Addicted to your touch

Oh, I feel the rush

It's so good, it's so good

AKSEL VARVIK ( HE/HIM ) is a CIS MALE, TWENTY-NINE year old NEUROSURGERY RESIDENT who has been living in Moorbrooke for THREE YEARS. They were born on DECEMBER 10TH and right now, they are currently residing in OAKLEY COURT. It has been said that they look suspiciously like FREDDY CARTER and if they had to choose a song to describe themselves, they would choose CRUEL SUMMER by TAYLOR SWIFT.

tw: child abuse, drug addiction (only mentions)

STATS.

FULL NAME: aksel varvik NICKNAMES: axe AGE: twenty-nine FACECLAIM: freddy carter BIRTHDAY: december 10th ZODIAC: sagittarius GENDER: cis male PRONOUNS: he/him SEXUAL ORIENTATION: homosexual BIRTHPLACE: brumunddal, norway OCCUPATION: third year neurosurgery resident PETS: a betta fish named fish LOCATION: oakley court, moorbrooke FAMILY: twin brother to andrej varvik

BIOGRAPHY.

( tw child abuse ) aksel varvik came into a hateful world where he never belonged, but he had his twin with him so things weren’t so bad. their parents were cruel and hateful and the brothers were all alone in their torment. aksel being the elder twin by mere minutes felt it was his job to protect his brother and because of how their parents were, he always failed. their parents had a strong focus on educating the boys to be little geniuses, and that mentality stayed with aksel for the rest of his life. does he enjoy education? no. but will he ever not be a student? highly unlikely. while aksel had toughened up and began to anticipate the path of least resistance, andrej did not. their father picked up andrej more and while he still did not praise aksel, there was more warmth there. after all, they were never meant to be twins, it was only ever meant to be aksel.

at 13, the varvik’s moved to america and aksel got to attend school with other children for the first time in his life. he had been so excited but quickly began to regret that decision when he saw andrej pulling away from him. andrej had found different friends and he was far more social than aksel was. aksel got left behind and his brother did not make an effort to include him. even though they were only 13 and neither knew any better, aksel’s disdain for his twin started then. there was no one else in the world who would understand what they went through, so why was andrej so keen to leave him? ( tw child abuse end )

as aksel grew up he began to bury his emotions and he was damn good at it. by 16 he had suppressed all of his trauma and continued to focus on school. if he did well in school and never slipped up, then his parents wouldn’t hit him. andrej was on a different path and aksel didn’t understand until his brother was too far gone. he’d let him down again. he could not protect his brother, he never could. the second he comprehended how bad andrej’s drug addiction was getting he began to cover his tracks. he couldn’t save his brother from much but if he could lessen the pain and hide the truth from his parents, he would. this only made their relationship worse because now andrej saw aksel as another person to exploit. then they turned 18, graduated high school and andrej left without a word and without extending the invite to aksel.

aksel followed his parents’ wishes and began his biology degree. he left the state for university and excelled all throughout. it was now that he began to fall in love with the human brain and how it works. neurosurgery was ever changing and he loved every bit of it. it was such a heavy course load that aksel never had a moment alone to think about his life. his parents paid for his undergrad and then also paid for his medical school. once he landed his residency and he no longer needed his horrific parents’ money, he cut them off. at this time andrej also reached out and told him about moorbrooke. aksel waited to be certain but he made sure to apply to moorbrooke for his residency. his excuse was the stellar neurosurgery wing, but in reality he’s mostly here to have his brother back in his life.

PERSONALITY.

aksel used to be a very shy and quiet kid. he was heavily dependent on his brother and found it to be very lonely without him. as he grew up ( and got ditched ), he learned to socialise more but always found one or two key people to depend on. this is something that hasn’t changed over the years. he struggles to be by himself, and always needs very close connections. he is loyal and fond of those who understand how he shows love, and especially those who don’t try to change him.

more to come as i play him!

CONNECTIONS.

on and off boyfriend -- they met when aksel was 22 and starting medical school. either they were both in med school, or not. the details of this connection can be plotted later, the main idea is just that they’ve been on and off for the last 7 years. aksel is very toxic and never talks about his feelings.. he’s probably cheated. just a very angsty relationship

hookups -- could be anyone, he’s never really been picky

best friends -- people he would 100% die for! one person would definitely be the on/off boyfriend connection, but there could be more.

Okay, re-liveblogging Store 23 for reasons. Haven’t seen this episode since it aired so, should be interesting.

Beginning in Undertown, which I guess I have to keep given this is a rewrite but know that I’m doing it under duress. That whole thing is a tragedy waiting to happen.

I get the feeling everyone is having a day. Hello Liam.

Liam: Sorry I’m addicted to theft kidnapping I swear

Tell me Pax does not put up posters with his own face on them? Tell me he just has fans, or is the face of a movement. I can’t remember, he might be canonically, but please Faranth-

And here’s Benji, blasting the criminals and then posing for fan photos in the middle of a fight. tsktsk

Two rules: 1) Never blast your enemy into a weapons shop. 2) Never utilize electric weaponry against a navivore specializing in electricity. You ain’t dealing with Kevin, there’s no trauma keeping Ben from working with it here

Okay, two things- 1) I can’t believe I’m siding with Max but here he’s right, can we focus more on rescuing the kidnapped not-yet-hatched babies, pls? 2) Can, can somebody check on those because Ben blew up the cart. Like, sorry Grey, I don’t know what sorta shit Nova does in these cases but I am gonna have to make a change there because Ben just blew up a cart full of babies and I can’t let that slide as much as I know the episode will. Executive decision- Nova ain’t blowing up a cartload of babies

“What are you doing?” “This video’s gonna go viral” Benjamin!!!

Again, I’m with Max, this is what we call ‘police brutality’. Stop the criminal, rescue the babies, don’t blow them up, call it a fucking day.

The Kineceleran girl filming is upset now

Not supposed to be a weapon, Max~

Ben, 1) being the ‘good guy’ does not mean you’re always right (as you will learn as the episode goes on) and 2) you can say you’re good once you’ve gone and made sure those babies you blasted are safe and unharmed

And nope, he just fucks off to get a smoothie. Seriously, Ben? Seriously?

I hope we get an update on those eggs, I really do, because 1) if Ben caused them damage I’m gonna have Opinions, and 2) you know if he did the Plumbers’ll try to put that shit on Liam

Hello Blukic, Hello Driba

Ben is so serious about finding this Mr Smoothie.

The boys, coming to the logical conclusion that they’re looking for a roach coach Mr Smoothie otherwise there’d be some consistency in location at least

Ben is just full of good decisions today- a Mr Smoothie is not worth pulling out in front of moving traffic, Benjamin! Somebody couldn’t gotten hurt, and if you’d been hit Blukic and Driba probably wouldn’t have survived the pile-up, they’re small, only Blukic has anything resembling a helmet, and you’re on a motorcycle

But they’ve found Schrodinger’s Smoothie Store, cannot decide if it wants to be there or not. Make up your mind!

I’d forgotten just how much of a Cow And Chicken reference this episode had. !!! Okay, I had to go check because the voices are on point that is fucking Charlie Adler! The same fucker who voiced them in their show! And did the top voices in I.M. Weasel but that’s an aside. Also he apparently is the voice of Servantis? And he voices Hokestar which explains why they went with the reference, it was just a perfect storm. Also he apparently voiced Servantis? Talk about some fucking range. Managed to make him sound more evil than The Red Guy.

Welp, our references just got yanked out into the opalescent glowing void in which the store sits when it’s not settled elsewhere

‘Cross-dimensional sunburst aurora’ These are the names they give betta fish varieties in 2123

Blukic and Driba, arguing over whether it was a sunburst aurora and apparently pinwheel auroras (also definitely a betta fish variety of the future) are worse than sunburst auroras

Hello Professor Hokestar. Please do not have any more screegits hidden around here and also why do you have cross-dimensional shit in a franchise drink store?

A Mr Smoothie that exists in every dimension at once. I can’t help but feel that has to violate some sort’ve health code.

Utilizes a broken warp-field generator. Sir I don’t think that’s the sort’ve thing you should be fixing yourself. Sounds like the sort’ve tech you should be calling in a licensed and unionized repair technician about. Or at least a Kevin. Fucker probably builds them for fun.

“We’re not moving between places, we’re staying in one place while rotating through different dimensions. This is a dimension-skipping Mr Smoothie.” Thank you, Driba, for the explanation.

Also I know the captions are spelling it Mr Smoothy but fuck them I’m tired and still pissed about those poor eggs.

Hokestar I really don’t think a lack of competition is the only thing you should be hoping for when being stranded in another dimension. Somebody who can fix your tech should probably be at least #2 on that list.

Love that ‘alien making trouble’ is treated as a ‘yep this is Bellwood’ thing when it’s more a ‘there’s definitely at least one Ben in the tri-county area’ thing

Little bit of fucking destruction. Whoever you are, chill the fuck out

Oh look, Tetrax 23. Chill the fuck out. No reason to wreck a bus and crash a train, for fuck’s sake. What is with people this episode?

Ben: Hello it is me wtf Tetrax 23: ...whomst?

Only Ben 23 could see somebody nearly identical to himself and immediately call him a ‘yokel’. Also who the fuck says ‘yokel’ in this day and age?

‘Stick a fork in yourself- you’re toast’? Who let’s this boy out of the house? He needs, he needs something.

Also, can I just ask who on staff decided we needed more Bens. Like, was that really our big issue? They looked at this show and went ‘‘we need more Bens, endless fields of Bens’‘? Really?

Oh gods preserve me the little brat has flying speakers to make sure everyone knows when he’s going to be awesome and to hype his ass up. He still hasn’t blown up a cart full of babies yet, so he’s got that going for him, but damn is that obnoxious

Driba, Driba this is the second time you’ve specifically mentioned aliens, you do know you are one by the standards of Earth, yes? I just, I’m wondering. Given the amount of species you work with, and that you’re living on a world you aren’t native to, I would think specifying ‘alien’ would’ve died down a bit.

‘Freeze Lizard’, this boy really needs some friends or something to tell him when his shit is stupid

Oh gods the flying hype machines also do advertisements. And there’s apparently a fucking club bingo card or something for fans.

Random aside: I fucking love gyros. I don’t trust a fast food gyro place in the states, but I do love them.

Tetrax 23 is just, completely unimpressed. Understandably because so am I

Ben Tennyson, everybody- worries about changing history but not blowing a cart full of babies. No, I will not drop this until I learn whether or not those eggs came out of that explosion okay.

Oh gods that pun

Hokestar: I have no competition! Ben: Yeah, but I think you might get killed if you stay here

“It got a little drastic there for a while” child the fight lasted maybe a minute and you dominated

Oh god there’s a special Ben 23-themed Mr Gyro poster, save me

Oh look, Tetrax 23 wasn’t taken down by having one empty water tank dropped on him. Also maybe y’all should’ve waited until you knew everything was clear before you crowded in? Just in case? Some basic self-preservation pls?

Ben jumps in to help and of course immediately fuckers start shit, because of course

Bens: *see another person with an Omnitrix* Dude!

Damn Azmuth 23 (and yes they’re calling you Intellectuary but seriously), don’t know shit about this second Ben and already out for blood. At least investigate, goddamn.

People are way too big of fans of this kid. I assume because the alien thing is public. See this is why we got Kevin in the reboot, he’s to keep Ben humble. Every time he gets too big for his britches and Gwen can’t bring him down, Kevin can show up and just like, use him as an armrest or something.

Ben, trying to explain that he’s famous and awesome but not a rich and spoiled (given what we see of his future and that there’s shows and action figures and shit, my money is on either 1) all of the money he’s making off his likeness is going into a trust fund and he’s not getting that for a few years, or 2) Argit and/or Kevin has taken charge of the situation and are making money off Ben’s likeness)

There are Ben 23 themed hamster cages and I am concerned

Oh god tell me he doesn’t have a movie he has a movie wtf

Ben in the background just, stuck in some sort’ve pained smirk. Careful, your face’ll stick like that

I want to punt this kid. I know that’s the point and he does grow but, I want to punt this kid. He’s just so fucking full of himself

Ben 23 has never heard of Vilgax and trust us we can tell

It’s just 23s all the way down...

The allure of paying customers is gonna get Hokestar killed at this rate. Hokestar, pls tell me you invested in an ID Mask? They’re out there

Why does this child have a tower

‘Plug-Man’ gods help us somebody buy this kid a dictionary and thesaurus at least

Gotta love when writers have a character learn their lesson by putting them beside a version of themself turned up to twelve

Sudden Thought: wtf is going on with Camille in this dimension? I mean, her husband’s cousin is running around offing people like her. Did she nope out? Did she and Joel both fuck off the planet? Is she okay? Is her family okay? We know there were alien populations on Earth before the masquerade broke, wtf happened to them in this dimension? Are they okay? Did they fuck off? Just a whole enterprise smuggling refugees off Earth. Do you think Ben 23′s parents, aunt, and uncle just sort’ve quietly agreed not to mention that Frank and Carl are half alien? Just in case? I assume they still are, given the big change seems to be ‘Max died’.

OTTO’s goons out here robbing a bank and 23 gives no shits. Purely because it’s not aliens so it’s not his problem. Ben, meanwhile, is taking the job.

And the fucker wants to wait until he can get the cameras rolling

Ben handles things with ease. And 23 doesn’t know about the Plumbers. Don’t know why Ben is shocked by that.

Oh gods. They’re really doing the ‘3 aliens in a trenchcoat’ thing back at the store. And badly at that.

Love that they manage to have bad movie poster art

Ben: Consider- not everybody not from this planet is evil 23: *gasp*

I love how Ben uses the “like my bestfriend” and you have no idea who he’s talking about because all three people in line are- at this point in the show- considered aliens

Aww, hair ruffling

Hi SixSix 23

Oh damn, we have a timer on an arm. Not the right one to take off an Omnitrix but, certainly an arm

Thankfully Ben is XLR8 and can just run through ever fucking possible code real quick, which certainly ends that bought of drama fast

Welp, that was the last straw, Azmuth 23 has dragged the whole squad out for a de-Omnitrixing

Grey I hope you are happy to know I will not let Nova 23 run around with alien names this stupid

You would think any Azmuth would at least be smart enough to make sure you can’t just overcharge their damn suit when going up against a Ben. Especially a Ben whose line-up is so fucking well known. You shoulda been prepared. But no. Don’t know what I’ll do here...

Oh look, there’s a whole swat team at the restaurant, fantastic

How think is that road, goddamn? Tetrax 23 is up to his damn waist in melted asphalt

23, sit your ass down

“You’re rich and you haven’t killed anybody yet, kid, stop while you’re ahead” Thank you, Azmuth 23

Ooo, Max 23 died pre-Omnitrix arrival. That’s interesting. Wonder what happened there.

And we get heartfeltness out of fuckers

“How am I supposed to know the good aliens from the bad ones“ Step one, don’t just attack everybody you see who isn’t human. Step two, don’t go encouraging the idea that all non-humans are evil in others so that any non-human that ends up on Earth ends up attacking first out of fear for their safety or attacked without provocation for just trying to live their lives

Azmuth 23 pls do not give him his watch back right away, at least take him through a training course or something

Ben don’t give 23 his watch back right away, holy shit

Smelt petunia flavored smoothies. Something is wrong with that franchise. Give 23 this, at least he eats actual food

Holy shit Azmuth 23 is actually teaching! And being good about it! I didn’t know that was a thing an Azmuth could do! I thought all they knew was winge, make dangerous items, and condescend!

Ben: I will come back and kick your ass if I have to. Don’t make me have to.

And we’re back home! Ben running in to check on the grandpa he still has. Wonder if he has grandparents on the other side. We never learn anything about his mom’s side of the family. Or Gwen’s mom’s side of the family. It’s a wasted opportunity.

But more importantly, we see if we hear any updates on the eggs

And confirmation that OV Ben is still 16 which is *sighs in this fucking show*

And it’s a happily ever after for Ben and Max and we know nothing about what happened with those eggs. Were they returned safely to their parents? Were they damaged? Did Ben fuck up some poor family’s unborn children? Was luck on their side and they all landed safe and sound? Did that Kineceleran girl catch them all and put them aside before she started filming? We don’t know! They tell us nothing! I am pissed about that!

#well #it's certainly an episode

Tell me about your pets, seem like you have a few lol

A FEW?! A downside of working at PetSmart is the pet addiction that comes with it.

I am going to do this by species.

Cats:

So, firstly, I have my cat! His name is Ponyboy. He's my big baby boy and I love him. He's actually considered my ESA and was in college with me. He's the white one. When my fiance moved from Hawaii and moved in with me, we got a second cat. She is named Pidgin, which is a type of language my fiance also speaks. She's this splotchy tortie cat. Both cats cause issues but differently. Pidgin broke into Pasta's tank two and a half weeks ago (see Lizards section). Ponyboy over summer swallowed an embroidery needle and required emergency surgery because it was sideways into his jugular and esophagus and put me in heavy debt because I said Fuck No to euthanasia in the kitty cat ER. He's fine.

Lizards:

My oldest leopard gecko has been taken over by my mother. Her name is Patgeck Swayze. She was neglected and a rehabber rescued her. When I got her, she was still awfully small but now she is far from it. My mom spoils her!

Of the geckos I have with me, I have Papaya and Kapulei. Papaya is my gecko. He's about two now and is blind in one eye due to a bad shed. He's drained my wallet with vet trips and nothing we do can heal the scar on his eye. If it gets worse, he will need an eye amputation but right now the vet does not think it affects his quality of life. Kapulei (I did not name her) is the younger of the two geckos at around 6 months old. She is my fiance's gecko. She is also shedding in this picture.

We have one Cuban False Chameleon, also known as a Western bearded anole. We were at an exotic reptile show and we eyeing him. Turns out he was named Pancake! I was like... I HAVE TO. PANCAKE. See, the joke is I refuse to name with anything not "P" something. He's... expensive and a lot of upkeep. Worth it. He's got an interesting attitude and is really cool when he flares up.

I have had a corn snake for a while now. His name is Pasta. He got out for a while and made me so upset. We ended finding him yesterday, lil fucker. He's pretty docile. Now he's in a 40 gal tank in my office all decked out.

Hamster:

I have one hamster. She is a dwarf hamster named Pipsqueak. She feels like a tiny living cottonball. She came into the store much much too tiny, poor thing. We held off putting her on the floor because of it. I got attached and she got attached to me so I couldn't not get her. I like changing her tank up. I was extra and got her a 20 gal tank and not one of the crappy wire cages. Besides, Pidgin would terrorize her.

Otherwise?

Fish. I have a blue betta fish and then a large tank with guppies and such. Among them is a crawfish named Shrimpina. She kills and eats the guppies so it's moreso Shrimpina's tank and the guppies are pretty food.

Honorable mentions: Plymouth and Pistol the dogs. They both live with my mom back at home. Plymouth is having some health problems and I am pretty worried. Also at home my cat recently passed away. Her name was Precious. She died at 22 years old in her sleep.

Now let's get to the OC I've been waiting to introduce for while now, Tiger! 😏

https://imgur.com/a/oHeiBcs

So funfact: She's actually the first OC we made together, so she'd probably also be the first LI you'd encounter ingame and yeah she a gurlllllll cuz the LIs are mixed genders <33

Here's her essay excerpt:

Tiger

She seems to be a more 'in the Moment' type of Girl, doesn't rlly strike me as a type that would settle down, also strikes me as s low maintenance girl that prioritises freedom in a relationship, wouldn't really get jealous that quick, and especially not that kind of intensely jealous, to me at least. Tbh she's just a really "u do u bro" type of girl I think

And my friends list:

tiger girl

- party girl

- alcoholic

- fun, energetic

- pretty much no money, asks/begs Betta Fish for money to go out N party, once again

- pretty much a homie

- loud

- no sugar coating

bad end: runs off w ya money

Her relationship with hyena is more like "ayyyy i know you :D", cause they tend to frequent the same parties, she's not a drug addict though, or at least not as much as Hyena is. Fr i think if she actually got to know him on a deeper level, she'd probably dislike him oof-

Also you'll definitely see a pattern going on between our female LIs compared to the male LIs LMAOO

Us when writing male LIs: aight, so what kinda 🥺 is he this time?

Us when writing most female LIs: women 😍<333333

-Ren'py anon

ZOO WEE MAMA 😍😍😍

Mommy? Sorry, mommy? Sorry... Mommy?

OH EM GEE IF THIS WAS REALLY A GAME I WOULD DEF PURSUE HER <3 SO PRETTY AND IS PROB SO FRIENDLYYYY

Omg she sounds so fun to hang with, but if i pursued her in game and she was hanging with other goons i def get jelly. Like girlie this is a dating sim and ur my LI WTF ARE YOU DOING??? But that's just me lol

But I'm glad Tiger is superrrr chill and would let me live life 🙌

Party girl? Alcoholic? Fun and energetic? A homie? No money? Loud? Honest? Runs off with money? Wow sounds a lot like my cousins /hj

NO BUT FR SHE'S MY DREAM GIRL. I COULD TREAT HER BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. I'M KINDA MYSTERIOUS AND QUIET, SO I COULD BE LIKE HER STRESS RELIEVER FRIEND AFTER ALL THE CHAOS 💞

Gosh I love people who are super friendly and don't know what awkward stages are. "Ayyy ik you." LIKE HI BE MY FRIEND 4EVER PLZ I WILL NEVER LEAVE UR SIDE.

And yeah, if she really knew Hyena she wouldn't know how to handle all of that misery. Whether it be lack of emotional knowledge or she just don't rock with people like that too much.

My poor bby Hyena... I'll be your friend 💔

THE DIFF FOR MALE AND FEMALE OCS IS SO TRUEEEEE. ALl of my male ocs are like, "Okay what issues and fucked up actions are we getting you today?" and my female ocs are just like, "Omg girl you are so beautiful and independent even with your hardships!11!!1! Slay girlboss!"

Like sorry I like to write my fem ocs as if they were real women bc women in fictional media are only used as either a LI or for plot relavence most of the time.

But for my male ocs... Yeah y'all are getting thrown into the thirst bin for my mentally ill bitches.

Btw who is this Betta Fish fellow 🧐sounds a lot like the OC you were talking abt last time... Or not idk. I SHALL KNOW THEM SOON ENOUGH.

#renpy anon #renpy anon oc #one word #AWOOGA #what a momma #i don't have money #but you know what i do have?#amazing amounts of friendship #and maybe even love bbg u knew know #;)
