please delete your philosophy gpt-3 post. it's most likely stolen writing.
philosophy?? idk which one you're referring to sorry. also no . if it's the poetry one, see in tags. actually see in tags anyway. actually pls look at my posts on AI too . sorry if it's badly worded i'm very tired :')
#GPT3 is a large language model (LLM) and so is trained on massive amounts of data#so what it produces is always going to be stolen in some way bc...it cant be trained on nothing#it is trained on peoples writing. just like you are trained on peoples writing.#what most ppl are worried about w GPT3 is openAI using common crawl which is a web crawler/open database with a ridiculous amt of data#in it. all these sources will obviously include some published books in which case...the writing isnt stolen. its a book out in the open#meant to be read. it will also include Stolen Writing as in fanfics or private writing etc that someone might not want shared in this way#HOWEVER . please remember GPT3 was trained on around 45TB of data. may not seem like much but its ONLY TEXT DATA. thats billions and#billions of words. im not sure what you mean by stolen writing (the model has to be trained on...something) but any general prompt you give#it will pretty much be a synthesis of billions and billions and billions of words. it wont be derived specifically from one stolen#text unless that's what you ask for. THAT BEING SAID. prompt engineering is a thing. you can feed the model#specific texts and writings and make sure you ask it to use that. which is what i did. i know where the writing is from.#in the one post i made abt gpt3 (this was when it was still in beta and not publicly accessible) the writing is a synthesis of my writing#richard siken's poetry#and 2 of alan turing's papers#im not sure what you mean by stolen writing and web crawling def needs to have more limitations . i have already made several posts about#this . but i promise you no harm was done by me using GPT3 to generate a poem#lol i think this was badly worded i might clarify later but i promise u there are bigger issues w AI and the world than me#feeding my own work and a few poems to a specifically prompt-engineered AI#asks#anon

can u write something abt miguel and the reader being childhood best friends but they grew apart and then met again years later and get together?
Of course! I have been planning on making a series based on my childhood friend headcanons
Tumblr media
Art By Shuploc
Pairing: Miguel x F!Reader
Warnings: None, no use of y/n. Warnings will change throughout the series. Each part will have their own warnings
Summary: You and Miguel were childhood bestfriends. You two did everything together, one never without the other. That is, until you both headed off your separate ways. Now, you move back to New York and bump into him. Will your old friendship with him continue? Will you get any closure? Also, who is this Spider-Man you keep running into?
A/N: So I am finally getting around to writing my childhood Miguel fic/series! I don't have a set number of parts this will be. Nor do I have a timeline of when I'm getting each part out as I am also going to be working on requests. But, I will put up a post for when I have a new part coming out a few days prior. This is going to take place in the future when you and Miguel are older. There may be flashbacks and I will be using my headcanons as inspo. POV will change from Miguel and reader. This is the prologue, giving us a little snippet of reader and Miguel when they were teens.
Word Count: 829

"Hey, remember when we used to play pirates over at the jungle gym?" Miguel asked you as you both swung on the swings of your childhood playground.
You smiled and nodded your head, your mind drifting off to the wonderful memories of when you were both kids, playing with the other neighborhood kids. 
“Of course I do. I was only the best thing ever!” You laughed as you continued to swing. 
“The slides were our ship and the monkey bars were the only way to get to and from land. It was great, honestly,” you reminisced. 
The sun was beginning to set, and Miguel couldn’t help but to stare at you for a moment as the sunlight caught your profile. And Miguel was in complete awe. They way the sun seemed to just glisten your skin, giving you such an angelic glow that he suddenly felt unworthy of. It made his stomach turn a bit. 
He had been harboring feelings for you for quite some time, and he knew that if he didn’t confess them to you now, he knew he never would. 
“Hey..I know this is gonna sound crazy, but, I want to tell you something,” Miguel started, suddenly feeling very nervous. 
You looked over at him, a smile on your fine. “Hmm? What is it?”
God, that smile. It made his heart skip a beat every single time. He could stare at it forever. He wanted to. 
So badly. 
And yet…
“N-nevermind. It’s nothing,” he shook his head. 
You raised a brow at him. “You sure, Miggy?”
Damn, that nickname. Only those closest to him were allowed to call him that. However, hearing you saying it tugged at his heart a certain way. 
“Y-yeah. I’m sure,” he assured you, looking down at his feet as he continued to swing. The fact that the swing was able to hold him was a miracle. He had a huge growth spurt in high school that he stuck out like a sore thumb. Many thought that he was a basketball player with how tall he was. However, he was too bulky to be playing basketball, so he took on football instead. Not something he was planning on continuing on with. His passion was science. 
“It feels so surreal, doesn’t it? In a few months, we’ll be going off to college. You better text me, Miguel,” you told him, a pout in your face as you looked over at him. 
“Me oyes?” 
“Yeah, I hear ya,” Miguel chuckled, nodding his head. Of course he would keep contact with you. 
He then looked back down as he stilled himself on the swing. He really needed to tell you before it was too late. It was already too late. You two were headings off to different universities. You’d only see each other during holidays and summer break. But, it could still work out, right? 
Well, he’d have to tell you first. 
And he was already chickening out. 
You two had been through so much together. Had done so many things together. You were his best friend and he was yours. Since kindergarten, you two were inseparable. You were both each other’s first in..a lot of things. You had your first kiss with him. You were his first crush, and you both lost your virginity to each other. That..that was an experience. 
Miguel didn’t want to say goodbye. He didn’t want to let you go. But, such was life, right? Plus, you both promised to keep in touch. 
And you both were good about keeping promises. 
Or so Miguel thought. 
“Come on, Miggy. We should start heading back home. It’s getting late. And we need to be up early for tomorrow,” you told him as you let your feet touch the ground, putting your swing to a stop before getting off. 
Miguel followed suit with a nod of his head, swinging himself as high as he could before jumping off, landing on his feet with a thud. 
“You’re gonna mess up your knees,” you tsked at him, shaking your head as you began to make your way along the dirt path that led to the neighborhood sidewalk. 
“Eh, I’ll be okay,” Miguel chuckled as he waved you off.
You both walked side by side, hands teasingly brushing against each other. Fingers threatening to intertwine. You looked up at him, and he was already glancing down at you. You never spoke about your relationship. What were you two, exactly? It wasn’t just friendship anymore. But, neither of you managed to bring it up. You wondered what his thoughts were. 
Miguel walked you up the steps to your house, standing in front of you, hands stuffed in his pockets as he shuffled a bit. 
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” he told you. 
“See you tomorrow, Miguel,” you replied with a smile just before Miguel leaned into you, capturingyour lips in a kiss. 
Possibly what would be the last kiss you’d ever receive from him.

ᝰ MY OH MY. ━━ (009) classic sunwoo-yn-bff-date
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WORD COUNT. 1343
WARNINGS. swearing (like always), mentions of food and insecurities, lots of physical touch, princess diaries references, also please remember that sunwoo is sunwoo if u know what i mean ;p | i’m so excited to post this but written chapters are always terrifying to post for me so please leave me your thoughts and feedback <3 i really need it when it comes to these
credits to @ari-shipping-stuff for being my beta reader / writer <33
Tumblr media
YOU HAD TO GIVE IT TO SUNWOO. HE WAS TRUE TO HIS WORD.
Half an hour after the text, you opened the door in your pajamas to find a panting Sunwoo, water dripping down his raincoat as he held up a bag.
He didn’t even let you greet him or invite him in properly before he'd stormed past you. He shrugged of his coat and placed it over a random chair, leaving him in his familiar black hoodie and sweatpants as he turned to look at you.
Sunwoo was the first to speak up despite the questions circulating in your mind.
“Why do you look so surprised? I told you I was coming over for a classic Sunwoo-Yn-BFF-date.”
You squinted your eyes at the boy in front of you. He pushed his dripping curly hair out of his face.
You tried giving him the dirtiest look you could manage. “I don’t care what you say. I’m not going out, Sunwoo.”
“Yeah, I obviously knew you’d wanna stay holed up in here.” He rolled his eyes and held up the shopping bag once again. “That’s why I bought snacks and the passwords for Kevin hyung’s streaming services accounts, because lord knows he’s probably paying for all of them.”
As Sunwoo trailed off to complain about Kevin’s spending habits as if he had to pay for it himself, you walked over to the bathroom to get the boy a towel. In the couple of moments you were in there, you caught a glance of your state in the mirror.
Sure, you still looked disheveled and you still had bags underneath your swollen eyes from the crying and lack of sleep, your lips.. your lips were also cracked and swollen from the excessive amount of chewing you did on them out of stress;
But somehow, you knew you looked a little brighter than before and you’re almost certain who was to blame for that change.
You walked back to your living room where, to your horror, Sunwoo had already made himself comfortable on your couch.
You rushed over and scolded him. “Get off my couch! You haven’t even dried yourself off and it’s way too expensive for you to douse it in rainwater.”
Sunwoo scoffed, looking at you with a judgmental expression when you held out the towel to him. “You act like this couch is going to bring you gold. You got it from a fucking thrift store!”
He didn't take the towel, instead grabbing your arm and leaning his head in your general direction.
“Are you seriously implying that I dry your hair right now?” You gasped.
Sunwoo sat up at the edge of the couch, still holding your arm and pulling you so that you’re standing in between his legs.
“Yeah, it’s nicer when you do it.”
“I thought I was supposed to be the one cheered up.” You scoffed, rolling your eyes. Sure, you might sound annoyed, but Sunwoo could tell by the way you gently began to dry his hair anyway that it was only a joke.
“You get to see my handsome face from this close. I consider that a win for all of us!” He smiled up at you, the towel now covering the greater part of his head and ears.
You left it there and turned around to let yourself fall on a comfortable spot next to him on the couch.
“Just for that, you can do it yourself.”
You don’t even look at him, simply letting him gasp at you in disbelief as you grabbed the remote to search for something for you to watch.
Eventually he gave in, continuing to dry his hair himself. Of course, not without complaining, but you didn't mind. It was kind of comforting; him being here while you felt like dying was comforting. So he could complain as much as he wanted so long as it meant you could have your best friend by your side.
Tumblr media
“I NEVER GOT why they act like Mia’s makeover was such a big deal. Sure, if she explicitly wanted to change up her look I would get it, but they act she’s a totally different person when she is just as pretty before.”
You ended up settling on watching ‘Princess Diaries’ again, curled up on the couch with Sunwoo’s arm resting behind you while you two stuffed your faces with snacks and other unhealthy, comforting treats. The two of you had watched the movie more times than you could count on both your hands. At that point, it was nearly a symbol of your friendship. It just never got old to you.
You nodded with Sunwoo as he monologued about the movie's endearing yet problematic 2000s-esque plot.
“But that makes me think,” You said through a mouthful of Doritos, still staring at the screen. “Do you think Yeonjun would’ve made that bet if I was different? If I, like, changed? You know?”
Sunwoo’s attention on the movie immediately moved a hundred percent towards you with that sentence. You only turned your head towards him when you felt his wide eyes burning a hole in the side of your face.
“Are you considering changing for him?!” No sign of a joke or anything of the sort could be detected in his voice as he asked.
You smiled and looked down. You did consider it for a while. That was how much you felt for him. But in the end, you shook you head.
“I don’t really want to change. But I wonder about it sometimes. Maybe he’d love me back if I did?”
Focusing your gaze back on the screen, you whispered to no one in particular. “I just wanna be loved too.”
“You should never change for a man though. You shouldn’t change for anyone, for that matter. What’s the point of being loved if it isn’t for your true self? That just seems tiring.” Sunwoo's voice was raised and his eyebrows furrowed. He was clearly not done with the topic yet. “Also, he’s a selfish-stupid-dumb-dumb-poopyhead and nothing you do is going to change that.”
Your laugh echoed through the small living room at his word choice. Sunwoo fought back a small smile at the wonderful sound.
Finally, he turned back to the television with you. “I can’t ever understand why you still care about him so much after everything, but I get where you’re coming from. Don’t we all crave to be loved deep down?”
The last sentence caught you off-guard. Sunwoo often hid behind silly jokes and funny remarks, but he could be quite insightful when he wanted to be. You nodded once again, trusting that he saw it in the corner of his eye.
He did. He placed the arm that was resting behind you around your own, rubbing it gently. “And don’t worry. I’ll always be here to love your true self, despite your, well… thousands of extremely obvious flaws.”
“Hey!” You exclaimed, making Sunwoo cover his ears. You completely ignored all the nice stuff he said as you proceeded to punch him in the arm with an offended look on your face.
He had the nerve to seem just as offended. “I’m not apologizing. You are a very messy and deeply flawed person, Yn!” He said matter-of-factly.
Rolling your eyes, you sunk back into the sofa. “Gee, thanks, man!”
His offended charade didn't last long. Soon enough, a smile grew on his features. He almost crushed the snacks in between you as he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you towards him. Your head landed softly against the shoulder of his black hoodie.
“But I meant what I said. I’ll promise that I’ll do my best to make you feel even the slightest bit loved.”
“Why?” A pout was still present on your lips, but you didn't make any effort to move free from his grip, only nuzzling your cheek in the crook of his neck.
You could feel him shrug as he pulled a blanket over the two of you.
“Because that’s what best friends do, I guess.”

PROLOGUE / MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
The rumble and honk of a car driving quickly down the street took you out of your thoughts. 
Here you were, once again, on the sidewalk and across the street from The Beef. This time, it was not some odd hour of the night but rather 4 o'clock in the evening. 
After tossing and turning all night long, you rose early that morning much to the insistence of your mom and dad, who were very much eager to get you to reunite with Natalie, with bags under your eyes and stiff joints. You trudged around the house, jumping at every small noise that somewhat resembled the notification sound of your phone, before finally giving up and plopping down on the sofa to send Sugar a text. 
'Hi Sugar, it's me. Nice to talk to you again. I'll swing by The Beef at around 4 if that's okay with you.' 
About 5 minutes later, a loud buzz made you drop a glass of water to the floor.
'Of course! I'm so happy to hear from you! I can't wait (:' 
You could feel a pit forming in your stomach as you read the message. You can practically hear the way her voice lifts in excitement as you read it. To make matters worse, the smiley face felt like it had a mind of its own and it was taunting you. It practically said 'Remember the good days? Remember how close you and Sugar were? Before everything happened?' 
With a shallow breath, you threw your phone onto the nearest soft surface and scooped the broken glass up with your bare hands.  
Your parents fussed around you all afternoon before you left. At first, they said it was to make sure you were okay with going over there but it became pretty clear that they were pretty much just making sure you weren't going to back out. While you understood why they were chasing you around like a chick chased their mother hen, you got tired of it really quickly.
"Mom, I'm serious, I'm okay!" You insisted, pulling your shoe on and pausing at the threshold of the front door. 
"Are you sure? Do you want us to come with you? How about you let us drive you-" 
"I'm fine!! I'm going now!" 
With a sigh, your mother glances at your father before nodding, "Alright honey, be safe." 
With a weak smile, you headed off. 
And now here you were, finding yourself halfway down the street and being honked at by someone in their car. 
Snapping back to the present after replaying your hectic morning, you jump at the realization that you were unconsciously halfway across the street and heading towards The Beef.
"GET OUT THE WAY!" The person in the car yelled, sticking their head out the window. 
You ran to the sidewalk and half slammed your body against the wall, chest heaving. You had no idea what took over you and made you move without thinking but here you are now, in front of the same place you vowed to never be at again after Mikey's death: The Beef.
"Fuck…" you murmured to yourself, trying desperately to catch your breath as you closed your eyes. 
Focusing on the sounds of tires on pavement and rustling leaves on trees, you took a breath. You counted from 1 to 100 and then back to 1 again. You then opened your eyes and counted 5 things you could see, 4 things you could touch…
With a hard swallow, you turned around, ready to walk to the front door now. It was past 4 now but from the messages you got earlier from Sugar, you knew that there was 'no rush' and to just 'come in the front door'. 
"I can do this, I can do this…" you whispered to yourself and lightly jumped in place, hyping yourself up. 
You pushed forward, rounding the corner of the wall and to the front door, when BAM! Some guy just slams into you. 
You fly backward, stumbling as you try your hardest to avoid falling onto the pavement. 
"Watch it, idiot!" Some guy in a high vis vest barks at you before marching away with a wrapped sandwich in his hand. 
You stare, mouth open in silent shock and confusion, unable to respond. If this guy had bumped into you about a year ago, you would have practically beat him up yourself. Mikey would've had to come out of the restaurant and drag you off the guy, laughing and cheering all the way. His strong arms would wrap around you and somehow lift you up and off, voice husky in your ear as he alternates between voicing good humored apologies to the guy who had the misfortune of being an asshole to you and murmuring about how hot you looked while you defended yourself.
But in this moment, all you could do was regain the little confidence you had and go back to the task at hand: walking in. 
You swallow before standing up straight, plastering on a faux confident but cool grin onto your face. With your head held high in a way that you used to do but doesn't feel like you anymore, you jam a fist into your pocket and use your other free hand to push the front door open and waltz in. 
Cooly, you scan the empty restaurant. It seems like the lunch rush was very much over by now and the last customer for a while before the dinner rush had crashed into you and left moments before. So now, it was just you and The Beef. 
"Give me one sec!" A loud and charmingly obnoxious voice yelled from the kitchen. 
Your facade slipped as you heard this voice. Instantly, your shoulders sagged as you let out a quiet but pained laugh under your breath. 
The booming voice of Richie got louder and louder as he came out of the kitchen and to the counter, "How can I help you-" 
He paused. You immediately stood up straight again, a wide and sly but fake grin spreading over your face. 
Richie blinked, frozen. His eyes were wide and mouth had dropped slightly open.
After a couple seconds, the awkwardness started to set in for you, prompting you to speak up, "Jesus, Richie, you look like you've seen a ghost." 
In an instant, Richie snapped back to reality with a grin on his face, "COUSIN!" 
You winced at the volume, apparently not being the only one as you heard a couple muffled groans and protests from the kitchen as well as someone saying "what?!"
Richie threw his arms out, wide, before dropping them and racing around the counter to you. With a laugh, Richie's arms enveloped you, squeezing tight. 
You stiffened up immediately, feeling bad for not reciprocating instantly like you used to do. But whether or not that bothered Richie, you would never know because as fast as he enveloped you in a hug, he pulled away. 
"Cousin, what the hell are you doing this side of the country, huh?!" He grinned and placed his hands on his hips. 
"Oh my gosh!" Another voice said. 
Your head whipped to see Sugar at the doorway to the kitchen. She clutched a clipboard in her arms but as both of your eyes connected, she let it fall to the floor with a clatter. 
You can see her eyes well with tears as she raced around the counter to join you and Richie and as she got closer, she blinked them away. A wary smile appeared on her lips as she stood next to you, making her look a cross between nervous and relieved. 
"Richie, give her some space. Oh my gosh, hi!!" Natalie gasped. 
You winced a bit and smiled, "Hey…" 
You wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole and stay there forever. 
"Shit cousin, I had no idea you were coming here! If you let us know beforehand, we could've made you a welcome party or, or, or something!" Richie said, ignoring Natalie. 
"How the hell have you been? How was it out west? I heard you got back in town but had no clue you were coming over here to visit!" Richie continued, going on and on and on. 
You stared at him, eyeing the way he looked rugged and much more tired than usual. But Richie was the same old Richie, loud and brash but caring when he wanted to be. 
Your eyes wandered from Richie's frame over to Natalie, who seemed to be analyzing your body silently. Her eyes were filled with worry and her fingers rapidly intertwined with themselves as she gave you a look that meant to say, 'Is this okay? Are you okay?'
You glance back at Richie before your eyes fell behind the two and to the entrance of the kitchen where a crowd had formed. 
And in front of that crowd was Carmy. 
Your shoulders tensed up, visibly enough to make Natalie perk up and whip her head around to see what you were staring at and make Richie go silent. The two glanced at Carmy and, unbeknownst to you, gave him a look of warning. 
Carmy wiped his hands on the towel he had and stared back, silent. His body language was unreadable and you couldn't tell whether or not he was upset at seeing you. Either way, you could feel the hair on the back of your neck stand. 
"Carmy…" you said, voice hoarse. 
You cleared your throat and awkwardly nodded, acknowledging those around him. You recognized a couple faces and others seemed unfamiliar but either way, they all looked at you with curious and cautious eyes. 
After stewing in silence for a bit, Sugar spoke up, "Carmy… say hello". 
Carmy blinked, eyes still set on you making you feel pinned to the spot. You could feel your breakfast swirl in your stomach as his eyes glared into you, analyzing your every move. Finally, he nodded and turned around, making the crowd behind him part like the red sea as he moved back into the kitchen. 
Suddenly, another face appeared in the doorway of the kitchen before yelling out your name excitedly. Fak came racing out of the kitchen, following the same path that Richie and Natalie took, before stopping in front of you.
"Holy shit!," he exclaimed happily, "Your home!" 
Your shoulder sagged. 
Home. 
You were home. 
He giggled to himself, not at all noticing your reaction "I haven't seen you in forever, how are you?" 
"Jesus man, give her some space she just arrived," Richie began, already launching into an argument. 
"What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine!" Fak said, head snapping over to Richie before the two began to bicker. 
Natalie rolled her eyes at them and turned to you, still concerned, "Just ignore them. Are you okay, sweetie?" 
You stood up straight again, wiping the wide eyed expression you didn't even know you had on your face for one with a lazy smile, "Yea, I'm okay." 
She reached her arm out, hesitating for a second to see if you would reject her, before resting her hand on your forearm when you seemed okay with it. She gently ushered you around the bickering men and behind the counter, to the kitchen. The crowd watching dispersed with curious eyes and kind smiles from those you recognized, letting you two pass through. 
As you walked through the kitchen, gulping as your eyes retraced each corner and crevice you had tried to forget about, your eyes stopped briefly to look at Carmy. With his back towards you, he silently chopped some vegetables, seemingly ignoring what was happening around him. 
"Here we are," Sugar said, quietly announcing to you to get your attention. 
You turned and dug your heels into the ground, soles squeaking as you did so. Sugar jumped back and glanced at you. 
"Can we… I'd rather we talk outside." You announce, voice wavering in a way that made your previous confident persona waver. 
Right in front of you stood the door to the office; an office you were very much familiar with as you too had spent many times there. All those memories, all bittersweet at this point, came rushing back; the nights you spent arguing over bills and paperwork with Mikey, the days you came with a bag of donuts from your favorite shop nearby, the intimate moments where your and his lips connected behind the closed door, the moments in which you hid in the office and cried your heart out. 
Sugar noticed the way your eyes had become misty and promptly led you to the back door of the kitchen and to the alleyway.
“I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, that's okay. We can talk here.” she said soothingly.
Her voice was so comforting, making you feel nauseous. You hated the way that Sugar would always act very motherly, even when you were all kids. 
With a shaky breath, you nodded and smiled anxiously, “I'm okay Sugar, you don’t need to worry.”
Glancing at you, Sugar smiled softly. But her smile quickly dropped when she scanned your features, taking in your face again. 
“You look,” she began quietly, “You look good.”
You chuckled to yourself, knowing damn well that she was wrong, “Thanks, you too.”
Richie bursts out the back door, with Fak in town, still bickering.
“My God you two, just stop!” Sugar yells, getting the two to finally snap their mouths shut. 
Fak playfully salutes Sugar, a knowing look on his face while Richie rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. 
“Yea whatever. I’m just happy to see you again, cousin.” Richie says, directing his body to you, with a tone of softness in his voice that felt so foreign that it made you shiver. 
“It’s nice to see you too,” you said softly, rubbing your hands on your thighs.
It was silent for a bit as the four of you all glanced at one another, unsure where to start and what to say. Each party had so much they wanted to say to each other at that moment, but you knew that the three people standing before you had the most to say to you. 
Carmy came out the back door, silent and unsurprised to see the four of you glance in his direction. He closed the door behind him and stood off to the side, away from all of you. He then proceeded to take out a pack and light a cigarette, quietly puffing. 
“Cousin, did you even say hello? It’s rude as hell to just ignore her,” Richie said, a bit agitated at his dismissive behavior.
Yet Carmy ignored him, staring out to the side and away from you all, his blue eyes flickering, but refusing to even glance in your direction.
You could feel your eyes prickle and your throat tighten, regretting even showing up. Carmy was the one person you haven't seen the longest and here he was, ignoring you as if you didn’t even exist.
“Hey,” Richie barked, taking you out of your thoughts, “At least look at her!”
Richie began to stomp forward to Carmy, making you and Sugar flinch as you watched. Fak moved forward, reaching out to Richie and mumbling quietly to get him to stop. Right before Richie could grab Carmy by the shoulder, Carmy spoke up.
“I’m glad you're okay.”
Your mouth dried up.
His eyes turned to you and all you could see in them was pained understanding. He knew you weren’t okay; an okay person wouldn’t just pack up and leave the night after her boyfriend’s funeral. But, he saw that you were alive and the fact that you showed up here after so long meant something. 
It meant that now you were okay.
“Thanks Carmy” you said, making everyone’s head turn to you. 
Richie rocked his jaw and nodded silently, stepping back from Carmy. 
The three of them watched as Carmy lifted his box of cigarettes and offered one to you. They then watched as you walked forward, arms that had wrapped around your body falling, to grab one. He fished his worn lighter from his pocket, carefully lighting the cig you held around your lips for you, before pocketing it and leaning back against the wall.
You take a deep drag, letting the nicotine smoke fill your lungs before exhaling. It soothed your nerves, reminding you of the moments that you spent outside with Carmy, avoiding the yells from inside the house during a Berzatto family event. 
Suddenly, a deep funny feeling began to strew about in your belly. It felt odd and you tried to suppress it, but you just couldn’t help it. You barked out a laugh. 
It surprised you and everyone, not at all expecting it. You felt your cheeks heat up, horrified as to why you just laughed. 
You breathed in, only for it to come out as another laugh. Your horror was then replaced with amusement, making you laugh even harder. 
Sugar, Fak, and Richie all averted their gazes, a mixture of remorse and shame written all over their faces. 
You laughed even harder, slamming your back against the wall before sliding into a crouch. Your body shook so hard as you laughed, barely able to keep the cigarette between your fingers. 
Carmy looked away, an empty look on his face as he too chuckled to himself. 
After laughing so much that your belly began to hurt, you finally spoke up between dissolving giggles, “What the fuck am i even doing here!?”
Natalie turned her back to everyone, clutching her body in her arms. Fak walked forward and gently placed a hand on your shoulder. You didn’t even look at him as he hooked one of his arms under your arm and helped you up from the floor to stand against the wall again. Your knees buckled slightly as you continued giggling and wheezing in an attempt to catch your breath.
Fak stepped back and sighed softly, watching your chest heave as your breathing began to stabilize. 
An uncomfortable silence fell as you caught your breath, leaving the four of you in limbo to listen to a couple cars pass by and the wind blow softly by.
Carmy straightened up, making everyone except Sugar turn to him. He dropped the cigarette he was smoking and crushed it under his shoe. He then reached behind him to untie the knot of his apron and then moved to his neck where he took it off completely. He thrusted it forward, pushing it to you.
“Okay Chef, break is over.” He said. 
You looked over at him, finding no fear or sadness on his face, before nodding and grabbing the apron. He stepped back and turned, moving to open the back door and step inside. 
Sugar, Fak, and Richie all turned to you.
“Break is over,” you repeated and began to tie the apron around yourself before opening the backdoor and walking back inside.

- ❤︎ -
Based on previous experience, you knew that sleep stood no chance against the literal bumping and grinding of your roommate and their partner right outside your room. With a frustrated sigh, you pull yourself out of bed, slipping on a hoodie and sweatpants. At least these clothes don’t feel so suffocating.
You move around your room in the dark to find your shoes. You weren’t sure where you’d kicked them when you came home, hazardously tossing your clothes off so you could dive into bed. You think about turning the light on, but considering the headache begging for stimulus, you decide against it.
You finally come across a pair of shoes - well, correction: slippers. Better than nothing, you think as you slide your feet inside. You bring your hood down over your head, practically shielding your face before leaving your room.
The sounds are even louder as you walk past the couch, and you make a mental note to rearrange the living room the next time you don’t feel like shit.
You practically stomp over to the door, not even caring to be quiet. If your roommate doesn’t give a flying fuck, neither do you. They pause long enough for your roommate to apologize with what you know is another sheepish smile.
“Whatever,” you roll your eyes as you open the door, “fuck both of you.”
You close the door behind you and almost laugh when you remember they were doing just that. You’re not sure which is worse: staying in the apartment with your roommate being extremely loud or having nowhere to go. You think about it for a second when you realize that both are equally as bad.
You’re about to start stressing again when you think of something else, or rather, someone else. As you meander through the apartment hallways, grimacing at every loud noise you encountered, you flip out your phone and text the one person you know won’t disrespect your privacy like your roommate.
- hey, can I come over?
The elevator dings and you pocket your phone, boarding the chute. You grimace at the bright lights and the loud chattering of the two people in the corner. While you realize that they aren’t meaning to be so obnoxious, you heave a sigh, waiting to reach your desired floor.
Just when you think you’ll simply combust if you hear one more hyena-like laugh, the elevator dings once again, and when you sigh this time, it’s in relief.
Your phone vibrates in your pocket, and you check it as you step off, beginning your walk down the hall.
- aww, u missed me, didn’t u?
Your eyes roll as a smile tugs at your lips. You’re about to respond when another text comes through.
- come on over. we both know u just can’t live without me
The cocky bastard, you muse, not bothering to text back when you approach the door you’ve been desperately waiting to see. You go to knock when the door opens, and you perk up a bit, only to frown slightly when you notice it’s not the person you came to bother.
Tyler, you think that’s his name, grins at you then opens the door wider for you to step inside. “Hey, Lip, your girlfriend’s here.”
Before you can correct him, Lip rounds the corner, greeting you with a sly smirk. “That was quick. Bet you were just racing to get here.”
Upon seeing your favorite cocky asshole, you feel your stress relieving. With a scoff and roll of your eyes, you deny his accusation. “One, I wasn’t racing. And two, I think we both know who can’t live without who here, and just a hint: it’s not me.”
Lip bites back a laugh, dipping his fingers into the waistband of your sweatpants as he brings you closer. His lips are pressing against yours before you even register him leaning in. When you do register it, he’s pulling away, leaving you chasing after him.
The brunet laughs then, “What was that again, babe? Something about you being able to live without me?”
You huff, the corners of your mouth tilting down and your brows creasing. It was such a Lip thing to rub it in your face. You just know if the roles were reversed, and he was the one having a bad day, he’d be all over you.
“C’mere, you baby.” Lip pulls you closer to him, smirking as he kisses you again. You press into him, sighing softly against his mouth. It seemed like with each kiss, your stress was melting away, little by little.
You felt the brunet’s exploratory hands caressing the skin just beneath your waistband. Before they can reach any further, a laugh comes from behind you. “Aren’t you two just so cute.”
Shit, you flush with embarrassment. So caught up with Lip, you couldn’t help forgetting Tyler there by the door. You go to move away from the brunet, but he holds you still, one hand cradling your head and the other raising his middle finger to his friend.
It’s a simple ‘fuck you’ that does nothing but send the other boy into a fit of rambunctious laughter.
“Okay, okay,” Tyler snickers, “I’m going.” The door opens once more and right before it closes, Tyler calls over his shoulder, “Don’t have too much fun, kiddos.”
If you think you were embarrassed before, it doesn’t surpass now as you finally separate from Lip, face burning as you plant it on his chest.
You feel the brunet’s chest rumbling as he attempts to contain his laughter. “C’mon, let’s go to my room before Tyler starts creeping on us.”

I hope you answer this. I have been part of the editing community on Instagram and twitter and I understand how it feels not getting credit for your work. You're right it requires effort to find clips, loop them and edit them with effects and texts. But the easier solution is to go for a watermark no one on that list ever claimed they were the one making the gifs and some private accounts and some people who do give credits are also added. It's just impossible to control the sharing of content if it's publicly uploaded once and sometimes people save it for later and don't remember the @ it doesn't mean they are intentionally stealing work.
Hi! I think that you are not getting what me and others are upset about. First things first, that list is old, it's like from mid 2023 or something, i dont know why it made a resurgence now and even if i dont quite agree with it, i dont think it was meant as a way of "look this are the criminals, death to them" and more of a "look your gifs may be in these twitter accounts, maybe u would like to reach out". I do think people can do better and learn.
I get that twitter as whole is difficult to find sources, specially if u find the gif in the automated search part, and even more if the OG poster of said gif didnt credit shit. And that's a problem that could be solved if u do give credit from the start. The excuse of "oh i don't remember where this is from" does not sit right with me bc then dont post it, look for it and if you dont find it dont post it. Bc we shouldn't have to watermark our gifs, and even then it would be really good if u could also link it. It is not difficult at all!
Ignoring all that I know it is difficult to control the sharing without credit specially when there are SO many social media apps! What bothers me (us) is that instead of saying "i will try to do better" or "oh i didn't realize people cared ab credit" f1twt goes and says "oh they are exaggerating" "oh this doesnt take any time" "oh no the tumblr hags" and it isn't kind, it isn't respectful, and isn't pretty. You are belittling work done by other people. Of course you can unintentionally steal things sure but you are still doing it, and if ur response to people being upset ab it is to say "they are exaggerating" my man you are not being respectful.
I'm GLAD that people in that list is giving credit, and I hope the ones that don't learn to give it too.

a/n  ‣ i worked really hard on this one so i rlly hope you guys enjoy! also ty guys sm, meeting niki got more posts than i thought it would, so expect a full storyline soon! thank you guys and have fun reading <3
Tumblr media
the sound of electronic music blasting through the room made my head hurt.
"can we leave?" i whined, facing my friends. sunoo looked at me sympathetically, and yuna gave me a look.
"your cool older friends are taking you to your first party, and you want to leave?" yuna shook her head. "remember, we also have to find you a hot first date. i'm tired of seeing you stay at home on the weekends, reading fanfics."
"hey, not fair!" i grumbled.
"what about that guy? he dresses well." sunoo pointed.
"jake? no way, he's in my year. plus i heard he's a playboy. we want someone nice and sweet, that matches y/n's energy." yuna explained.
we were getting closer to the end of the party, and yuna and sunoo's efforts were pitiful.
"screw it. we're trying again at another party next week," yuna groaned. she disappeared into the kitchen for a bit, and i had nowhere to go.
i got a drink and sat on the porch, waiting so yuna could drive me home.
"is this spot taken?" a guy asked, smiling at me.
"no, no. go ahead." i blushed furiously, hoping the darkness would make it less noticable.
"what are you doing out here alone? it's chilly, you might catch a cold." he said, looking at me.
"i'm just waiting for a friend. and it's not the arctic, i'll survive," i joked. still, he put his jacket around my shoulders. i couldn't help but notice he was sitting so close, our thighs were touching.
we talked some more and i found out his name was niki. we were in the same grade (how did i never notice him before?).
i suddenly got a text from sunoo:
you ok? yuna's still in the kitchen, we can leave if u want rn
i quickly texted him back and turned off my phone, not wanting to break my conversation with niki.
"is that your boyfriend?" he asked.
"sunoo? nah, he's like my brother. he was just asking where i was." i explained.
"oh." he said.
we talked for a bit more, until he saw the time.
"i had no idea it was this late. do you live close? i can walk you home."
"my friends are giving me a ride, so it's okay." internally, i screamed.
"oh- um, your jacket. here," i took it off, and i was suddenly aware of how cold i was without it. he noticed, of course.
"keep it for now. you look good in it, too," he said.
"thanks," i mumbled. why was i so awkward?
niki leaned over just a little to kiss me on the forehead. he was so close, i could count the moles on his face.
"i'll see you around, yeah?" niki asked, smiling once more. and then he left.
"earth to y/n? hello?" yuna waved her hand in my face, scaring me.
"ack! yuna, what the hell?" i said.
"you were standing there like a deer in headlights. we're leaving, finally." sunoo said, behind her.
"i-i was?" i asked, dumbfounded.
"who's jacket is that?" yuna frowned, looking at the black jacket draped around me.
"no. don't tell me." sunoo gasped, immediately giggling and teasing me.
"the jacket? y/n spaced out? she was here the rest of the night, with a guy! i knew we hadn't dragged her along for nothing, yuna!" he said, clapping his hands.
"maybe. i dunno. his name was niki." i said, sighing.
yuna gasped.
"niki? the kid that barely shows up to school? no. freaking. way." she said.
"what? you wanted me to find someone, right? well i was able to do it on my own, thank you very much." i said proudly.
"right, but you found niki. there's a difference," yuna sighed.
"what do you mean? he was nice when we talked," i shrugged.
"have you seen his friend group, y/n?" sunoo asked.
"well, no."
"y/n, they will eat you alive," yuna begged.
"what's that supposed to mean?"
"jake, the playboy, is like his brother. and there's jay, and heeseung, who take cute girls like you and destroy their hearts!" yuna whined.
"what? no way. niki's not like that. just because you hear things, doesn't mean they're true, yuna," i shook my head.
"fiine. but we're warning you. we just don't want to see you heartbroken over a guy," yuna explained.
Tumblr media
"i finally spoke to her!" niki rushed to his hyungs, who were sitting around the couch.
"i still can't get over how goody two shoes she sounds," jay said.
"jay, shut up. so how'd it go with y/n?" heeseung said, smirking at his younger friend.
"she's just as nice and pretty as i thought. her hair smelled good, too," niki said thoughtfully.
"perv!" jake threw a pillow at niki, laughing.
"hey!" niki blushed, thinking of his kiss on your forehead. was it too awkward? too natural? could y/n suspect that he had been crushing on her for a month, from afar?
"did you get her number, at least?" jake asked.
"well, no. but she has my jacket, so i'll have to see her some time or another," niki said proudly.
"this means you'll be showing up to school more often, right?" jungwon asked. he was the responsible one in the friend group, and was growing increasingly concerned by niki's frequent absences.
"i guess." niki shrugged, wanting to avoid this topic.
"you can't do this forever, you know. you have to graduate before comitting to your dream- at least show up enough to get your degree. i can't have you spending the rest of highschool in a studio." jungwon frowned.
"what are you, my dad?" niki joked.
"he's right, you know." heeseung spoke softly.
"okay, fine. maybe i will," niki said. how did the mood turn upside down?
Tumblr media
"psst! did you do the weekend homework, y/n?" i felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. i turned around to see yeseo looking urgently.
"yeah, i-" i stifled a gasp. a couple rows behind yeseo was niki, from the night before.
"uh, yeah, i did. here, take a look if you need." i passed the paper to yeseo, slowly turning back around. even when facing the board, i could feel his eyes staring at the back of my head. what was happening? school hadn't started long enough for me to notice all my classmates yet, much less would i notice someone who hid in the back corner. was niki always in math class with me?
brrrring! the bell rang, and it was lunch time. i quickly caught up to niki before he could slip out of class.
"niki- remember me? y/n? the party from the weekend?" i smiled awkwardly at him.
"of course!" he smiled brightly.
"your jacket is in my locker somewhere. wanna walk with me to get it? i asked nervously.
"yeah, lets go!" he said.
seriously, i was oblivious to some things, but there could have been no way i missed niki's presence at school. even when we walked through the halls, his giant self towered over the students. that's how tall he was.
"how come i haven't seen you at school often?" i asked him.
"oh, well, i have busy extracurriculars, and i'm in this training thing. no biggie, just causes me to miss school sometimes." he explained lightly.
"oh. well, here we are." i opened my locker to reveal his jacket. i reached in to grab it and give it to him.
"thanks!"
"yeah, no prob. thanks for letting me borrow it."
"of course! also, i almost forgot. can i get your number?" he touched the back of his neck and looked away, while handing me his phone. this shyness wasn't something i could have guessed was in him. i typed it in and we said our goodbyes, and i made my way to the cafeteria.
"niki is in math with me and yeseo." i dropped my backpack and lunch onto the table i shared with yeseo and sunoo.
"what?" yuna and sunoo said, simultaniusly.
"of course! you didn't notice, y/n? he shows up like, once a week, but he's been in our class for a bit." yeseo casually said.
and then i explained the whole party thing to yeseo, with yuna and sunoo filling in.
"so that explains why he was staring at you the whole time." yeseo spoke.
"well, yeah," i said, blushing.
"so? do you like him?" yeseo asked.
"i don't know yet! maybe? he's nice though, like really nice."
sunoo nodded, softening up.
"i know jungwon, who's in his friend group. niki sounds okay, actually." sunoo shrugged. "but there is jake, who yuna mentioned at the party. he's good friends with niki, and we all know the rumors about how he likes to lead girls on." sunoo frowned.
"niki wouldn't play me like that. haven't i told you guys, how sweet he is?" i explained.
"well, i think he's cute. kind of scary and intimidating, 'cause all he wears is black, but he'd be good for you y/n," yeseo said.
Tumblr media
"another full marks. good job, y/n." i heard my teacher say, handing me back my math test.
before class ended, mr. lee called me over to his desk. i noticed niki was there, too.
"y/n over here has been doing exceptionally well in math recently."
"thank you, sir." i said quietly.
"would you mind tutoring for this student, y/n?" mr.lee pointed to niki, standing quietly and playing with his hands.
he proceeded to explain to me the extra credit points, involved, timing, and all of that boring stuff. this time, niki didn't smile at me, not once.
around evening i decided to text him.
y/n: so tutoring, huh?
he responded almost immediately.
niki: yeah y/n: my place at 6? niki: k
was this really the same niki from before? he was being weirdly dry in our texts.
Tumblr media
"well, you wanted to get close to her, right?" heeseung said sympathetically.
"but not like this! besides, nationals is coming up. will i even have time for tutoring?" niki groaned.
6 oclock came, and niki was running late. he had stayed in the practice studio for longer than expected.
"aeri, i gotta go."
"10 more minutes. we gotta get this move perfect, if we wanna win," the girl aeri said.
"alright," niki said.
Tumblr media
i paced around, suddenly a nervous wreck. did i give niki the right address? did he forget it was today, or should i remind him that he's late? i ended up deciding against it, not wanting to show that i was bothered. if he wasn't going to show up, that would be him and mr. lee's problem, not mine.
minutes later, i heard the doorbell.
i opened the door to see niki sweating like he just ran a marathon.
"you're late."
"i know, i'm sorry, i got caught up with something."
"it's fine. we'll study in my room, so bring your stuff." i tried to sound as nonchalant as possible, but niki looked genuinely sorry, so i didn't want to press matters.
the tutoring went surprisingly well, although it seemed niki always had something else on his mind. there was no doubt he was a smart kid. his absences from school obviously resulted in his bad grades in math, not because he was dumb.
these tutoring sessions started to happen more and more often. and niki only showed up late a couple times afterwards, but we got closer, and i found out why.
niki was training to be a professional dancer once highschool was over. he had been dancing his whole life. all the late night practices in the studio, missing school, and even nationals, it was for his dream.
niki yawned.
"practice today was four hours. can we just hang out, y/n? let's pick this up the next tutoring sesion." niki flopped on my bed. i laughed, seeing how small my bed looked all of a sudden, compared to him.
"okay, fine." i wanted to be more understanding, since i knew nationals was coming up for niki. like he read my thoughts, he said,
"y/n. come watch me perform at nationals." his eyes were half closed, and i was worried he would fall asleep.
i was taken aback. dance was something of a secret to the people around niki. people like yuna just thought niki was bad news, skipping school for fun, but it wasn't like that. that's why i had begun to understand that dance was a sensitive topic for niki. getting an invite from him was something i couldn't have expected.
"if you want me to, i'll totally come."
"of course i do, y/n," niki whispered. we were so close i could hear his breathing.
was now the time, niki thought? to tell y/n how he felt, and had felt even before they met at the party?
"y/n, i have to tell you something."
"yeah?"
niki took a deep breath.
"yn, i-" and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"mooom," i whined, seeing my mother come through the door.
"niki! oh my goodness! y/n told me all about you, i didn't know you were here tonight!" my mom waved to niki, bringing a plate of apples.
"here. you two can share the snack while you study," she said.
"actually, it's okay ms. y/l/n, i was about to head out."
"oh! i see. well, if you haven't eaten dinner yet, we have leftovers, feel free to have y/n give you some to take home."
"thank you so much."
niki started packing his things. i was worried, had i said something wrong? then niki started reaching into his backpack, digging for something. he pulled out two pieces of crumpled paper and handed it to me.
his ears were bright red.
"these are tickets. bring a friend, like sunoo, or someone. nationals is next week. come cheer me on," he said all this very fast, like he was trying to get over it.
i didn't know how to answer, so i stood on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek to say yes. i quickly looked away, so he wouldn't notice how red my face was.
"and what were you gonna say to me earlier, niki?" i asked.
"oh, i dunno. i forgot," he mumbled shyly.
"that's okay. ask me again, when it comes to your mind," i said
Tumblr media
"this is a good idea, right?" i asked sunoo.
"sure." sunoo munched on a popsicle as we sat on the bus, on the way to niki's dance academy.
niki had been at the studio all week preparing for nationals. nationals was in one day, and i wanted to surprise him by bringing him some ice cream before the big day. i brought sunoo along for emotional support.
sunoo and i got off the bus and arrived.
"wow. your boyfriend must be good at dancing," sunoo said, looking at the huge studio building.
"he's not my boyfriend!" i blushed (although maybe i wanted him to be).
"sure, that's why he's so nice to you for no reason." sunoo rolled his eyes.
i looked at the studio company, and it was huge. like a professional entertainment company.
we entered, and there was a lady at the front desk.
"excuse me, what studio room is riki nishimura in?" i asked.
"sorry, no visitors allowed," she said in a monotone voice.
i looked at sunoo pleadingly, what do i do?
"actually, she's niki's girlfriend. it'll just be a quick second, she has to deliver something." sunoo said, pointing at me.
"oh. in that case, you have fifteen minutes. you're lucky, the dancers have a tight schedule today but they're on break right now," she explained.
i got my visitors badge and sunoo gave me a thumbs up. i shook my head at him.
"was lying the right move for this?" i whispered at sunoo.
"pshhh! it was hardly a lie. plus it's for the greater good. and don't be nervous! you've known niki for a while now. i'll be here, waiting for you."
"okay," i said, still getting a bad feeling from it all.
i made my way through the huge halls. i now understood why niki had taken his dancing so seriously at the academy. it looked like an expensive company, training the elite of the elite.
i found the room, and i could see niki through the tinted window. i didn't push open the door yet, because i saw that he was alone in the room with a girl. they were talking about something i couldn't hear.
they seemed to be talking in hushed voices, but i couldn't see the girl's face. but niki's face was serious and concentrated, looking at the girl.
and then niki hugged her, and stroked her hair. i didn't want to see the rest so i backed away and left.
"so? was he tooootally surprised?" sunoo looked at me excitedly, as i walked out of the hall. then he noticed that the icecream was still in my hand. i hadn't given it to niki, and it was starting to melt.
"oh dear," sunoo mumbled.
Tumblr media
i could feel tears welling up as i explained to sunoo what i saw.
"that thing i agreed, about visiting niki being a good idea? i take that back," sunoo said.
"thanks, sun," i laughed halfheardetly. "yuna was right. niki is bad news," i choked.
"but you liked him so much! yuna's a drama queen, okay? well, i am too, but think about it before you jump to conclusions. i know jungwon, and i just don't think jungwon and his friends are the type of people to do this. yes, even jake."
"sunoo, i dunno." i looked down at my hands.
"i'm sure niki cares about you, either way. he opened up to you, and even asked you to see him perform. jungwon told me that he and his friends, jay, sunghoon, and all the others, have to beg niki to bring them to nationals every year. don't just drop niki like that, y/n," sunoo said.
"i don't know. it looks like he dropped me first," i whispered.
Tumblr media
From niki:
ur coming right? y/n? hellooooo? ticket reception is starting soon i don't see u yet y/n?
i looked at his messages, head still blurry from yesterday. could niki really be this evil, stringing me along, probably like he was doing to the other girl at his studio? sure, we weren't dating, but we were friends. and do friends kiss each other once or twice? was i crazy to think we were more than that?
and suddenly i got a text from sunoo:
sunoo: im at your door y/n: WTAF?? sunoo: im driving u to see niki perform y/n: KIM SUNOO.
i threw on my bag and rushed out the door to meet sunoo.
"you're kidding. even after what he did to me, you're still taking us to see him perform?" i folded my shoulders at sunoo, who was waiting for me in his car.
"listen, i talked to jungwon. i'm-we're sure you got it wrong. i don't know what you saw, but we know niki likes you, like, really likes you. plus niki's kind of freaking out that you're not there right now. jungwon told me," sunoo explained.
"jungwon said this, jungwon said that. have you ever thought that niki, never once, tried explaining these things to me? why do i have to hear it secondhand through two other people? how unfair is that?" i said, tears forming again.
"i know, i know, but let's just go and cheer him on for now. you agreed to it, think about how confused he is if you don't show up. talk to him in person when we're there, yeah?" sunoo glared at me knowingly. "and if you really didn't want to see him, why did you bring your bag out, like you're ready to leave?"
i climbed into his car without saying anything, because i knew he was right.
"you're lucky he hasn't performed yet." sunoo said, finally.
niki's friends, jungwon, jake and heeseung greeted us at the entrance.
"y/n! nice to meet you. niki goes on in five," heeseung said.
"hi! jay and sunghoon have your spots saved inside, go ahead," jake said excitedly.
"thanks guys," i smiled.
niki's friends seemed nice and supportive. i would have to tell yuna this some other time.
Tumblr media
"niki! you were amazing!!!" jake said, clapping niki on the back.
"our golden maknae! congrats on first place!" jay said, hugging niki.
"thanks guys, thanks for coming," niki said, smiling ear to ear.
"where's y/n?" niki asked sunoo.
"she was here a second ago," sunoo frowned. "wait no. i think she left right after you performed."
it didn't take long before niki ran out the parking lot, hoping to find y/n.
Tumblr media
i heard niki call me before he ran over.
"y/n! you saw me right? i won!" niki grinned.
"i did, congrats."
and suddenly niki saw the expression on my face when i looked at him.
"did i do something wrong? was i worse than you thought i'd be?" niki joked.
"no. you were perfect," i said. even when i was mad at him, i couldn't lie. niki's performance was amazing. "i guess all that practicing yesterday at your academy payed off."
"thanks, it- wait. how did you know i was there the whole day yesterday?"
i said nothing.
"y/n, did you come visit me yesterday?" and suddenly niki's expression changed, like he knew, he knew who and what i was talking about and his confusion vanished.
"is this about aeri? oh god. let me explain. it's not what you think, really, it-"
i cut niki off.
"you don't owe me an explanation, okay?" i forced a smile to niki, but i could hear my own heart shattering. would i regret what i was about to say?
"i'm proud of you today. i really am. but i don't think you need me anymore, so you don't have to come over for math, and ever have to offer me your jacket again, and be nice to me when it's not in your heart. a true weight lifted off your shoulders, right?" i laughed harshly, unaware that this made niki's heart break.
and then i stepped away.
Tumblr media
From niki:
y/n
please
before you block me let me explain
aeri, the girl you must have seen, is just a friend i've known since i've joined the academy
i see her as my sister
it was the day before nationals and she was stressed, its her last year at the studio and she really really wanted to win her category. she was crying and breaking down and i happened to be there for her as a friend
delivered 2 hrs ago
y/n?
my eyes were puffy from crying. i had clicked my phone off since i talked to niki. suddenly i heard soft tapping at my window. i wiped my tears to get a better view.
it was niki.
reluctantly, i opened the window so he could climb in.
"niki, are you crazy? it's 12 pm, my parents will kill me." i whisper-shouted.
"y/n, i'm sorry, i had to. did you get my message?" he asked me, looking at me pleadingly.
"what message?"
niki reached to my desk and grabbed my phone, handing it to me. i opened it to see missed texts and calls. mainly from sunoo, yeseo and yuna, wanting to comfort me, and texts from niki. i opened it and read it slowly.
"y/n." niki looked at me.
"i'm sorry," i whispered. sunoo was right. how could i have jumped to conclusions?
"it's okay, i know how it looked," niki replied softly. "but i have to tell you something."
"yes?" i wiped my tears that had formed again, this time out of guilt.
"i like you. i've liked you even before we met at that party, i noticed you in math from the start of the year, it's always been you and i'm so grateful i suck at math because it was an excuse to get close to you. i like you, a lot, y/n," niki finally said.
"i like you too." i felt relieved to finally admit it. "i like your charm and your secret softness, and that's why i freaked out yesterday, because i thought i got it all wrong and you never felt that way and i was wasting your time."
"hanging out with you is never a waste of my time," niki said.
we talked for longer, until i noticed the time and he had to leave.
"y/n, i have to ask you now."
"hmm?" i asked, tired from the long day.
niki grabbed my hand and held it.
"earlier i was going to tell you something. you told me to ask you again, and i'm doing it now. y/n, will you go out with me?"

Here at i-am-an-arson-enthusiast, we i am dedicated to bringing you top quality content such as but not limited to: gay things, cats, and even live arson that you don't even have to tune into!!
hi this is my intro post :D
basic questions that i love answering
“hey what should i call you” good question. i dont really care, most of my mutuals call me arson. thats cool. bc i love arson. (clearly) but you can call me really whatever. planet names are dope as shit, but only @marcysbear gets to call me neptune. also enthu is off limits, only @terrifying-acceptance gets to call me that.
for the record: if you call me either of those names and are not either of them, that is crossing a genuine boundary of mine. you ARE NOT allowed to call me those names if you are not the designated person for that.
“ur gay” woah really i didnt know that ur like the first person ever to notice that!! (no ur not, ive known that for years)
“what type of gay” yes. the easiest way to explain it is bisexual. that being said: i use bisexual surprizingly little. i call myself lesbian and gay all the time (as in wlw and mlm). i’m arospec, i think im grayromantic? idk. but fun fact: it’s been over TWO months now of this identity crisis; my personal record :) also im polyamorous and will joke abt kissing u if ur cool with it :3
“gender????” im genderfluid. which explains the pronoun changes. im also trans, nb, genderqueer, and any of the genders and terms i need to articulate what the silly lil dudes in my head make me feel.
AUDHD :D explains why i am obsessed with space (going back to names planet names are cool and epic btw)
“do u horny post on main???” i reblog horny posts to my main but i dont normally do the original horny posting. tell me if i need to tw that btw :3
my cool and epic tags
i try to consistanly use them but sometimes i dont. sorry.
woah i’m using queue - i’m actually queuing a post for once instead of spam reblogging (which i mostly do sorry not sorry)
woah a real text post - me positing an actual text post for once but it’s becoming more common
cool ass art - art that i reblog (it’s all cool)
arson does half way decent art sometimes - my art. art i made. yea
the beloved - my beautiful beautiful queer platonic partner @terrifying-acceptance who i tag in a lot of shit :]
i will keep adding more as i remember them and make them so yea :D also i try to tag for things but i often dont add tw or cw because. idk. just havent ever done that. if you need me too you can tell me in any form and ill try my gaddamn hardest to add them. feel free to *kindly* remind me if i forgot. (as in no verbal abuse ya know. if ur scared ur probably fine)
the last section that is mostly important for followers :]
if u wanna follow me it’d be cool if you have a banner and pfp but as long as ur like not a bot ur good.
feel free to ask questions :) this is the point at which i tell you that i love getting asks and dms. my dms are always open unless i am dead. (current status: alive at very least.) also i am in school so you are practically guaranteed to get a response not immediately. give me 12-24 hours to respond before being offended. after that it’s fair game.
I genuinely do not care and give no fucks about what you believe and how you live your life as long as you dont hurt yourself or others, you are not offended by me being very not religious/spiritual and you do not shove it down anyones throat.
I mostly do reblogs and tag them as such half the time
lastly if you interact with this post it lets me know that you read it but i’m gonna look at your profile anyway if u follow me so you don’t have to.
thank you for reading all of that i know it’s long. your cool so here’s a cookie 🍪 also here have this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
credit to @v-4-l-0-n and @theprideful :)
(order of the banners are “exclusionists fuck off”, then this user loves being a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, genderfluid, then non binary)

genshin x reader smaus i recommend <3
Tumblr media
i think it’s about time i did this in case anyone asked me about smaus i am interested in or if you are looking for something to read:] i will be listing their titles, summary, and what i like! these are just the ones i’ve seen (or remembered).
Tumblr media
good 4 u by @ilkuni — a xiao smau
lesson learned! never challenge hu tao when you’re drunk bc you’ll just lose and now you have to post a thread of all your exes as songs from olivia rodrigo’s hit debut album sour … or: “yn desperate much!” “yn still loves xiao? yikes! doesnt he already have someone new?” “stop ruining my relationship u bitch!”
i’m sure we all know this one by now HAHA rosie is one of the genshin smau writers i have seen that’s been here as long as me by now
i actually was really interested in this one because it was an exes to lovers, and you all know how it’s one of my favorite tropes hehe
it was very interesting because there was foreshadowing here and there and the plot kept progressing without being confusing
10 things i hate about you by @x-xxiaos — a xiao smau
after breaking up with his since-high school-girlfriend, xiao made a long list of things he should and hated her for, so he won’t fall for her again in case name tries to enter his life once again. for five long years, xiao did a great job at keeping name off of his mind, but what would he do if she suddenly shows up at his door, asking him to work with her?
i’ve actually never watched our beloved summer where this is based off of, i first thought it was the movie because i remember there was one like that
this is also an exes to lover so i really loved it HAHAHA eyn update when /lh
i like how xiao kept deflecting it and yn kept going but this is for my job i don’t like you anymore, the dynamic was fun
i think he knows by @daixuki — a xiao smau
you’ve liked him since the first time you saw him perform in your school’s battle of the bands. so you do what any normal girl with a crush does: send him cheesy pick-up lines through a dummy account. he never replies. until now.
funny how angel told me she wanted to write a smau bc of me and my anons and now she’s writing one t_t so YAY
this is the first one here that’s not an exes to lovers but a my friend likes you but you don’t know so i’m going to help her secretly
it also gives space for angst because dayum what if xiao is conflicted i love it
someone you like by @rrinsluvr — a xiao smau
even after two years, she still hasn’t moved on. all hope was lost until he sent her a text.
this one is during the pandemic so it makes sense why it’s a smau right HAHA unlike mine where they literally meet each other and still text t__t nothing i just found it adorable that way
the way there’s a kazuha leading man vibes here too makes me ueue because i love kaed
i think xiao is on point here or it’s just me but i really love the way he’s portrayed here
still have my heart by @luvinelysia — a kazuha smau
IN WHICH, kazuha’s friend gets into a fight with one of your friends OR IN WHICH, two exes meet due to being involved in a fight with their friends
right off the bat, yessss bc i have a cameo HAHA but my title won for this so you guys should check this out because there’s conflict here OH and this is an exes to lovers
also ely shows us salty kazuha here so if you like that then feel free to read this one because i actually like salty kaed
and that there’s a side of a xiao x reader here so <3 ok i forgot this was a kazuha smau ely really needs to make xiao stop flirting with me
21 days by @v3nicee — a childe smau
after being busy with their priorities, ajax and [y/n]’s relationship went downhill. 4 years after that incident happened their path crossed again, and now ajax pleaded for 21 days to win her back.
exes to lovers world domination because this is an exes to lovers smau HAHAHA one of the best tropes i swear
i like how childe is portrayed in this one and that he actually makes time for yn instead of being an ass and not trying to win her back
oh and the whole aether as the second lead part makes me cry because i am weak i love my twins yall i hope that we don’t keep friendzoning him..
lowkey by @ilkuni — an ayato smau
it was only recently you found out kamisato ayaka was, in fact, not an only child after all! seeing ayato for the first time gave you the severest case of the butterflies but according to ayaka, he’s off limits, especially to you as her most treasured friend. well, what she doesn’t know won’t hurt, right?
when rosie dropped this i was excited because i have never seen anyone attempting to make an ayato smau, partially me as well with a long fic because i’m not sure i’ll be able to play him out
the plot sounded good because i love those lowkey secret relationships IN FICS not irl i can’t do that sorry i’m loud irl i’d blabber my mouth
not the way i was caught in a chokehold with the recent updates of chapters 20 and beyond because of the arranged marriage
raised the bar by @skaramush — a scaramouche smau
yn thought she finally escaped the perpetual doom of placing 2nd after she graduated high school. but alas! the leaderboard has her name printed under another’s! a name she thought she’d never get to see again. better luck next time, i guess.
i haven't actually caught up with the updates in a while but i like the academic rivals to lovers trope
one of the lines i liked was when kuni found out yn was studying for a long time?
i alike that kuni isn't too offputting or too mean which many portray him to be as
f#cking bastard by @scarahours — a scramouche smau
getting off wasted at a party wouldn’t hurt right? that’s what college life is for - you study, eat, sleep and repeat. probably do something batshit once or twice. but who would ever know, it wouldn’t hurt right? so why do you suddenly find the social reject’s lips pressed against yours?
i don't think i've caught up with this one in a while but i like that diluc is portrayed as the ex because i haven't seen that yet
i like that the plot is unpredictable because i really didn't expect kuni knows yn
oh i also like that even if diluc chased after yn, she didn't agree HAHA
Tumblr media
i think that's really all there is to this post! i might add in a few more smaus should i ever find some more:]

Tumblr media
POV: You got him a bunny hoodie (he hates it (or does he?)).
(ramble + alternate versions under the cut)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*stumbles in through door* UH. HELLO ?? i made something...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORLAM !! my scrunkly scrimbly lil ratman blorbo ilysmmmmmm :3 (i am going insane)
i really hope its still his birthday in whatever timezone ur in cus its literally 11 pm for me. speedrunning this caption rn
IM ALSO SO SO SORRY FOR THE TACKY BACKGROUND + ABHORRENT AMOUNT OF ALT VERSIONS i literally had 0 ideas what to do for it and this was the best thing i could come up with. leave it up to good ol quamai over here to pour her soul into making the most scrumptious shading but then completely blank out at the thought of what kind of environment is causing such a scene. dont be surprised if i post this same drawing again but with a better background. actually no do be surprised cus i hate doing complex background + redoing old drawings.
OKAY SO FUN(?) FACT this wasnt originally meant to be a birthday drawing it was just a wip i had from some time ago that was like "haha what if orlam wore a cute bunny hoodie" but as his bday approached i was like. hey wait a minute. and yeah it got turned into this. and yes i know the caption is kinda weird and giving wattpad x reader fanfic but IDC !! CRINGE CULTURE IS DEAD RAAGH !! (okay maybe i care a little bit considering i felt the need to point this out so u wouldnt think i completely lack self awareness shisnsksnejns)
ALSO. LAST THING. DID I MENTION MY BEST FRIEND HAS THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS HIM ?? yeah. crazy i know. so as much as i love orlam i still prioritized her drawing first which is why this bad boy arrived so late BUT ITS OKAY !! hes here n thats all that matters
anyways sorry for this big heaping monstrosity of a wall of text i just felt like u needed to know this. if u read it that is. but if u did thank u i appreciate that u care abt my thoughts :3 so yeah quamai out guys remember to hit that like and subscribe button and turn on notifications and comment how much you love orlam and how much of your mortal possessions you would give up for him (i would give up all of them)

okay but kalopsia's pet!! when she inevitably becomes pregnant, how will the alpha's treat her because ✨hormones✨
i absolutely love your writing and because of u am constantly in horny jail :) thankyou for sharing your works with us💕💕
oh bestie thank you so much for this 🥹🫶 I live in horny jail, hehe maybe we can be neighbours 😌
Long dark drabble below !! I guess you can consider it spoilers too🧐
you can expect lots of pampering, being overprotective, and still dark/mean !!
Since these men take every opportunity to fill you up, it doesn’t take long for you to get pregnant. Their goal is to eternally lock you with them, to claim you and besides the marks all over your body, they know that children will be a part of them that you’ll never get away from. They want a big family, to see you raise their children and give them more whenever they want.
And because of that, they also treat you differently when you’re pregnant. When you walk onto campus after summer break, now in your second year and with an unmistakable bump under your sweater, it doesn’t take long for the word to start flowing around campus—the Arcadia boys knocked up their pet.
If anything, people have different opinions. Some are concerned, others jealous, or ecstatic. No one would ever outrightly speak distastefully about you getting pregnant so suddenly, so young when you’ve barely begun your life, your post secondary education. And so early in your relationship too, you’ve only known the alphas for about a year and been mated for less than that, so the inevitable gossip blooms like a spring flower.
“They don’t deserve your tears.” Andy sweetly cups your cheeks, wiping away the droplets.
You’ve always been particularly sensitive (which made it exceptionally easy for them to claim you) and with your hormones, you’ve been all over the place. Last week, Curtis made you cry when he left you alone in the bath to get more candles.
At the time, it felt like the end of the world and admittedly, it was during crucial aftercare, but looking back you do feel a little embarrassed. Although your alphas have told you to be as free as you please.
Another hand grabs your chin, turning your to the side. “Omega, do you need me to repeat myself?”
You shake your head, blinking down at the yearbook in Ari’s lap. You point to the faces you remember seeing in your lecture, it was a group of them and you recognized them from a sorority on campus. They were sitting right in front of you and wouldn’t stop whispering and looking back at you.
“She’s already pregnant—jeez, I guess Ari’s family business rubbed off more than we thought.”
You ran out of the hall in tears, forgetting your bag and books until one of your alphas found you in the public washroom. All it took was one of the fraternity brothers spotting you hastily crash into the restroom, and a single text message to your alphas.
Steve was the first one to find you—the rest (except for Ransom) were a little caught up. Ari was finishing up training, Curtis was doing a test, and Andy was hosting a study group, but Ransom was in the same lecture as his adoptive brother.
Their phones dinged at the same time and they quickly collected their things and left their lecture within seconds.
Steve kicked everyone out and broke the stall lock with his bare hand while Ransom reluctantly stood guard outside.
“Who did this to you, sweet girl?” He was on his knees, one hand under your shirt on your belly and the other rubbing your gland. “C’mon, tell me so we can make it all better.”
You just wept harder.
He eventually brought you down from the closed toilet seat and into his lap. He kissed and licked over your spot, letting you cry all over his new shirt while anger bubbled deep inside him.
“If you don’t tell me soon—I’ll just go through everyone else in your class.”
“We’re the only ones who can make you cry.”
Ransom nods in agreement, laughing sickeningly. “I swear that brunette tried looking through my trash for my used condom, and I kicked her out on her bare ass. If she’s going to act like that—she can walk home naked like the slut she is.”
“Omegas like her deserve to be in those fucking programs.” Curtis hisses from your other side, nearly shattering the glass of water in his hands. “Stupid whores, as if they haven’t tried to get one of us to knock them up before.”
Their words weren’t comforting in the slightest, but you couldn’t help but feel the intention behind them, they cared about you, and they were pissed that people made you upset.
You whine, curling deeper into Ransom’s sweater in your lap. Your tears have soaked through the fabric, but the strong smell calms your nerves. “Don’t want to hear that…”
“It’s the truth.” Curtis replies. “And it further proves why they need to be punished.”
“They’re betas.” You whimper, “and omegas.”
“Not my first time hitting an omega.” Ari snaps the book shut and stands, walking to the front door with clenched fists.
You stand as quickly as you can, rushing in front of him. “They’re girls!”
“I don’t give a fuck.” He glares down at you, “and you don’t raise your voice at me. Ever.”
You now your head, “sorry, alpha.” You apologize, cradling your belly. It was early in your pregnancy but you couldn’t stop touching it, neither could your mates. “B-But, you can’t hurt them.”
“Did they hurt you?”
You don’t reply, heels digging into the floorboards.
“Did they hurt you, pet?” He repeats, an edge in his tone.
“Uh—” you’re cut off by his embrace, it’s sudden and catches you off guard, his hard chest is pressed against your face as he holds you tightly. “Y-Yes. They did…”
“Then, let me take care of it.” Someone clears their voice and Ari exhales through his nose. “Let us take care of it.”
The next day, those girls are missing from your lecture. And the next week is the same. They weren’t the only ones to whisper about you—but as you find the yearbook being slid into you lap once more, you feel scared but protected.

Coming back to this laaaate, but @brilliantfantasticgeronimo hope it's okay I pull this onto a post, because it's easier for me to focus on than in replies!
this idea that the Doctor lands someplace and ruins everyone's day by being so Badass and Awestriking isn't really a Thing in Nu!Who "is also contrasted with the theme of the doctor inspiring *others* to do things (v Explicit theme in s1 but it's present in all those other CoDs you mention)... re:2, i think the one exception would be 7 but i think with 7 the chess-god-manipulator thing works bc we see the consequences of it thru ace. we also see it w/ amy and river but (cont) but i feel we never quite grapple w/ it emotionally (they adore the doctor anyway in the end) (except for a handful legit, hard-hitting eps like the girl who waited or town called mercy). .. and altho in both classic who and rtd who the companions function as a very important role *in the text*, u can still find fandom completely ignoring that and treating doc's 1-10 as power fantasies as well. so it's smth always there but that moffat rlly made literal also i've really liked your posts on asexuality on dw and idk if you've written this but just in case, i think it's also relevant to the very specific way some het guys are so protective of the doc's asexuality/aromancy(+the show's): "asexuality" as it functions in dw is celebrated by those guys ( i suspect) bc it gives the fantasy power over the "womanly wiles" - it's a proof of how the doc is so "enlightened" and "above" the temptress or seduction trope. (cont) (csdkjf sorry for going ott on replies rip) and it's also why i think in moffat's who the doc's sexuality is kind of tied to the idea of it like... """humbling"" or ""humanizing"" the character (as problematic as those ideas are,,, i think there's a basis to deduct that they come from before in canon)
OKAY SOOOO HI!
I just watched The God Complex right after The Girl Woman Who Waited so I'm riding that high of Consequences! Emotional Follow-through! Mmmm good plots!
I have not actually seen 7 yet outside of cute clips with Ace and ofc when he died due to the American healthcare system + gang warfare if I'm remembering correctly? and became our beautiful bouncing boy Eight, so iiiinteresting that this is a Thing, I didn't know that 👀👀👀👀👀
again, God Complex + Girl Who Waited feel like the most this era has explored Eleven's kinda... vibes around in terms of being some big Machinator who ruins peoples lives by dragging them into his shit, because he cannot Not: "I stole your childhood and now I’ve led you by your hand to your death. But the worst thing is I knew. I knew this would happen, this is what always happens. Forget your faith in me. I took you with me because I was vain. Because I wanted to be adored. Look at you. You’re glorious, Pond, the girl who waited for me. I’m not a hero. I really am just a mad man in a box. And it’s time we saw each other as we really are." Mmmm good stuff
we'll see how the next episodes do/season 7, but I've heard good things about Town Called Mercy which is an episode that I was not taking in at allll last time, because I was kind of... annoyed... by then.... and not really taking in good stuff (unlike this time)
ASEXUALITY ON DW IS LIKE! LOOK I'M WRITING OUT A SCRIPT FOR A YOUTUBE VIDEO BECAUSE IT'S SO FASCINATING RIGHT??? BOTH IN TERMS OF HOW THE CHARACTER EMBODIES AN AROACE IDENTITY AS ALIEN AND AS OTHERED WITHIN THEIR OWN SOCIETY AND AS A PERSON WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE THESE THINGS --- AND IN HOW FANDOM THINKS ABOUT THE WORD "ASEXUALITY"
(will I ever actually put together a youtube video, who knows, but I could, I edit professionally for parts of my job, and I have the Receipts!) (but the energy of it all youknow)
I am so pleased you spelled out the "womanly wiles" trope, because yes, I hadn't quite seen that, but had been circling around like... the Enlightened Asexual (or the Celibate Monk as I believe M*ffat once called it with reference to Sherlock) (and then someone like Irene Adler is the epitome of that Temptress in his version of the story...)
and what you're saying about "humbling" and "humanising" is so fascinating, because ofc to a bunch of us aces and aros and aroaces the part where the Doctor struggles to form normative relationships is one of the the most humanising factors, and ofc M*ffat especially likes the "Godlike" Doctor quite a bit but it comes back to these ideas of allosexuality and alloromanticism
but then also rejects a lot of those ideas, from memory, for being too simplistic after all, because people struggle to write the Doctor as simply alloromantic and allosexual (I've heard because the Doctor is alien, because the Doctor is more compelling when lonely, because the narrative couldn't sustain it, etcetcetc, but in the end it all comes back to "the Doctor as Character cannot get into these relationships for... reasons...." and that becomes compelling character)
(also Gomez!Master is like "we're so beyond this, we're the best thing ever, we're nemeses, we're besties, my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my silly rabbit," etcetcetc... paraphrased. but that's in M*ffat era)
(the more the show flirts with allosexuality and alloromanticism the more nuanced the Doctor becomes to me as an aroace character! because no longer is it an Enlightened Mightier Than Thou Cannot Be Touched Celibacy type Concept, it's someone who's being affected by deep relationships and very often unable to equate them using simple terms!!!! arghhh it's sooooo!!!! SOOOOOO!!!!!!!)

hi!! it’s the anon who sent the asks abt starting to write fics!!
you didn’t come off rude at all dw!!!! i think i’m just gonna say fuck it and do it bc i figured even if they’re bad who gives a fuck. i’m sure someone will enjoy it!! plus me and my friend are basically writing a long ass fic in our text messages (we have been for like a year now. the lore is CRAZY) so i feel like it won’t be TOO difficult to transfer some of those ideas into an actual story
do u have any writing tips? how to start the writing process, things to do, things to avoid, etc? i’ll take any help/advice u are willing to share :D
hi!
remember, what's bad to you may also be good to someone else. i can't count the amount of times i've written something thinking it's going to be a flop and it ends up being well loved.
as for tips, i don't really have any? i just pretty much write. writing process is different for everyone and i technically don't have one. you may find working with an outline works for you, or free writing might be more your style. i work mostly free write with a vague outline. i made a post a while ago about how my "outlines" are just major plot points that i want to happen and when i want them to happen but i have no real plans getting there. you can look on the #writeblr tag. it's mostly prompts and people talking about their ocs but there is also some solid advice and tips on there
wish i could be more help

ok see now i'm gonna go down the list again n send u a novel bc quite frankly i'm relentless n want to know wht three emojis u wouldn’t give me + clown around Together 😇
🍪 - this is a given and my motivation behind handcuffing us together for all of eternity duhhh<3
💥 - this is visible to anyone with eyes but i do understand tht it may be nice to hear so yes mori ur layout is very pleasing 👍
🚬 - you Are cool, n perhaps intimidatingly so, but not to me bc you’ve been soft w me before n even tho you're taller.. in my heart, you're my height. or shorter :3
🍜 - see i can’t say this bc i feel like ur skills cannot be imitated bc wht infuses such flavor into ur work is the fact tht it comes from You n it has ur heart in it. so. i will leave all of tht to you n all of the fawning n rabid cheerleading to me 😌
🧠 - yes i learn that there are indeed intelligent life forms out there which is always reassuring and desperately needed in these dark times amen 🙏
suddenly blind and unable to read idk wht the next emoji is omg 404 blue screen of death currently buffering only to finally load…..
🍧 - yes. u are. n i remember sometimes going “omgggg am i special… seeing the soft underside… 🥹👉👈” heheheheheh but again this is jus a Given like. nods at u
🧢 - see idk if i have the proper qualifications to determine whether or not ur a Bro and i would hate to be misdiagnosing out here 😞
🫀 - ok so see the thing abt this one is tht i’m actually a goodie two shoes tht can’t fight n has nonexistent arm strength so this whole killing someone n digging a grave thing would have to perhaps fall to u like . it’s almost a cannibal au situation except we’re not eating them yk? 🫶 but i would offer emotional support ofc n a moist towelette to wipe the blood off. sooo ride or die as in that + i'm your chihuahua guard dog tht would bite anyone's ankle <3 (but this is also a given bc again: the handcuffs. would i cuff us if we weren't ride or dies? exactly.)
🗣 - the thing abt this one is i’d be happy tht ur out there thriving living ur life or i’d assume tht u were here but deleted ur posts before i woke up / logged in bc the alternative would also kill me immediately </3
the only time i’d ever send u a tomato is if i were gently placing one in ur hand bc we were in the kitchen cooking something delicious n u asked me to get u one :) peace n luv on planet earth
i made tht small text n it's still long as hell . rip
𝄢 hey 😎
🍪 ─ u're v fascinating n i mean that. even if u do smth incredibly weird that'll annoy me i'd still go hmm i can fix them. or not bc i'll most likely be knee-deep joining u on wtvr u're doing. u make my ti-dom...... ti-domming
💥 ─ the fact that i'm ur moot rn is prove bc ppl w horrid sense of aesthetic just existing piss me off
🫂 ─ a given. in fact, u can bring up the most outta nowhere, embarassing topic n i won't ever think fuck this lil weirdo asking me stupid shit. tho if it's trivial matters like a post reminding me of u, i prefer to interact publicly. for no rzn................
🚬 ─ no ♡ u are cool... the way i find will byers cool. unintimidatingly so. n the fact that i'm shorter in ur heart is actually sickening to read ngl. this is us denise, this is how we look side by side ↓ 1.) i can rest my chin on top of ur head 2.) if i'm any shorter then we'd both be chihuahua material which is wrong
Tumblr media
🍜 ─ ur ability to befriend anyone quick n be generally likable instead of mr. oversuspicious who yells at anybody stepping on his lawn due to a few bad experiences x
❤️‍🔥 ─ do i need to say anyth. c'mon. c'mon. everytime i log in, i wonder what's denise gonna say today abt raggedy ass ppl n what cute stuff is denise gonna come up w. u helplessly dying on the floor due to ur lactose intolerance for the 5th time is Content. atp i'm an enjoyer of a whole denise* not just denise the st blog
🧠 ─ maybe. not necessarily learning new things but being reassured that smone hasn't forgotten the thing
─ ok? i was making a creamy red sauce rigatoni w flan as dessert n u gotta pay the kiss the cook toll to even get the flan i put on the upper shelf but ig smone is full. more for me 🙄
🍧 ─ another given. n here's the thing: i don't like it when ppl get 💗💞💓💕💖-coddly w me. s not inherently bad, just that a lot of em expect u to match energies/respond similarly which is. i don't do that. n i don't like how fragile sm mutualships can be over it. but i don't mind u barfing ur love all over my activity partly bc ik uk how i am n none of my painstaking push n pull will deter u + it's U. that's it
🧢 ─ pft no. never even crossed my mind. u hv ZERO bro energy
🫀─ i knew u have the arm strength of soggy fries so i alrd fully assigned myself to do the brute work yes. on a srs note, u're my Friend friend. now me making a distinction between a friend n a Friend friend seems terrible but the latter isn't just existing in the same space peacefully, no, i wanna get to a point where u n i fight over small things n make up 5 mins later. i want us to bonk e/o on the heads. i want sm henpecking going on when necessary. ik u can be relied on for that level of #trust
❤️‍🩹 ─ *n this is why i wanna meet u irl. i want this so bad it's actually embarassing
🗣 ─ yes but if u're enjoying life away from this lawless wasteland n its chronically online weirdos i can do nothing but let u be. get that fresh O². touch that grass
🍅 ─ why the hell would i give u this. why. not in a million yrs. unless... ☹ peace n luv on planet earth indeed. later i'm peeling chilled fruits n sharing it w u on the front porch as we watch the sun set alongside édith piaf's hymne à l'amour
