with great power...
(or, the spider-nance au);
Nancy aches. Everywhere, all over, it all aches. There are cuts on her face, her hair is wet from sweat. Dirt and blood—which she’s not a hundred percent sure is hers—streak her cheek, her hair. Her bones ache.
The only thing keeping her from quitting is the rage that burns in her chest. White hot rage that blisters.
Nancy perches in front of the man who tried to kill everyone. Who tried—and nearly succeeded—to kill Robin. Who’s responsible for all of those little girls gone missing, for Eleven. Who’s responsible for nearly tearing the town apart with his ‘scientific genius.’
He stands here in front of her, with a smug smirk tugging at his lips. Nancy clenches her jaw. He thinks he’s won. He thinks she won’t do it. (Nancy has always liked to prove people wrong.)
“Little spider, you’ve lost. You should’ve known better than to come after me.”
Nancy’s stance changes, one leg stretched out, an attack stance. The white-hot rage inside of her speaks, “I know what I got myself into. You should’ve known better, because now all I want to do is kill you myself.”

Tamaki: I'll invite Iorin too! I'll pay for his share 
Tamaki: I offered before, I told him it looked yummy and he asked me, "What's the point of it having a 5 yen shape?” I’ve been thinking about that!
Haruka: That is something he’d say! lolol but I'm sure he'll look happy when you eat it. Maybe I'll invite him to a game next time.
Haruka: I wonder if he plays games.
Tamaki: Hmmm, I don't think he’s into that
Tamaki: But Iorin is good at everything!
Tamaki: I think he'll study it hard and use smart strategies like Nagicchi does.
Haruka: Ah! I think he's the type who’d use obstacles to his advantage!

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Parings: Mafia!Yuta x Innocent!Y/n
Pronouns: She/Her
Genre: Fluff, Slight Angst(?), Mafia
Warnings: Curse words, blood, Yuta gets beat up, kidnapping, guns, gang violence, let me know if I missed anything
Word Count: 1.3k
The warnings makes it sound more interesting than it is but I hope y’all like it!
Tumblr media
Yuta sits on a toilet lid while y/n stood in between his legs, tending to his wounds. Yuta can sense his girlfriend's disappointment. The pout on her face says it all. He knows that she hates his line of work now, but what else can he do? Once you're a part of a mafia, you're in it for life.
When y/n finished adding the bandages, Yuta placed one hand on y/n's waist and the other on her cheek. She leans into the warmth of his hand. Yuta looks in awe at his beautiful love. How was I able to have someone so ethereal to be mine?  He thought to himself.
"I'm sorry." He says lightly, "I know I make you so worried about me. If I could leave the crew I would. You know that right?" Y/n nods. Yuta sighs, "How about I make tomorrow about us? I'll order us some take out and we can watch movies and play video games all day. Sounds fun right?" This brings a huge smile to y/n's face. She quietly responds, "I would really like that."
Tumblr media
"No, Yuta! You cheated!" Y/n accuses as she threw her controller down. "You cheated on the last game!" Yuta fights back. "NO I DIDN'T!!" "Button mashing is cheating in my book honey!" "Whatever..." Y/n pouts and crosses her arms. Yuta rolls his eyes, "Fine you big baby, I cheated. I'll buy you an ice cream from the convenience store." Y/n cheers with a cute smile on her face. Yuta chuckles at his child like girlfriend.
They left their home in their pajamas, not really caring about who sees them as they walk to the closest store. As soon as they make it into the store, Y/n rushes to the ice cream and almost trips over her own bunny slipper. "Hey! Be careful." Yuta laughs. Y/n thinks deeply about what ice cream to get. She finally chooses the one with vanilla and chocolate swirled together. "Yuta I want this one!" Silence. Y/n turns around confused. "Yuta?" He was no where to be seen. Before she could call out to him again, she feels an intense pain on the back of her head. Within seconds she sees nothing but darkness.
Tumblr media
Y/n wakes up in a daze. The back of her head throbbing, but the only thing she's worried about is Yuta. Where is he?
Yuta fights against the ropes that bounded him. "I told you that you can't escape." A man states with an annoyed look on his face. Yuta stops struggling and looks at the man. "Who are you?" No answer. "Why are you doing this?" The man sighs at the question, "Your cute little gang owes me something." "What do they owe you?" "They know exactly what they owe. Maybe them getting a video of their precious member all beaten and tied up would make them work faster to give me what I want." The man gestures to the other men in the room. They move toward Yuta and start to beat him up. They punched him, kicked him, slammed his head to the ground, anything to make him draw blood. Soon the man told his goons to stop. He takes his phone out and starts recording Yuta.
"Poor guy. If only his friends just did what they were told. Tsk tsk tsk. What would make this all stop? Hmmm...oh I know!" The man turns the camera to himself. "Give me what I want or I would hurt him more." The man pauses, "Actually, I don't think I can hurt him more than I already have. New proposition, you have 1 hour to get here before I hurt his precious lady friend." Yuta's pain went numb at the mention of y/n.
"No...please..." He weakly lets out. The man just chuckles. "How cute. She's an adorable girl, isn't she? Her innocent bunny slippers. Would be a shame to see a bruise on such a soft face, huh? Anyways, get here when you can!" He sends the video to Yuta's boss, Taeyong. "See you in an hour, Yuta." The man walks out of the room, his goons following behind.
Yuta doesn't even care that he's going in and out of consciousness. He just wants to know if y/n is okay. Where is she?
Tumblr media
Y/n sits with her knees brought up to her chest. She's been trapped in a dark room for who knows how long. She tried to open the door earlier but it was locked. She gave up a while ago and just sat in a corner.
BANG
Y/n jumps. Something just hit the door of the room she's in.
BANG BANG BANG
The door burst open. "Y/n?" "Mark?" "Guys I found y/n!"
The rest of the NCT 127 members, excluding Yuta, show up in the room. Y/n gives the closest member, Mark, a hug. That's when she realizes something. "Where's Yuta?" The members look at each other. "We haven't found him yet...we were kinda hoping you would know where he is." Taeyong answers. "Oh no..." Y/n starts to panic. "Hey don't worry we'll find him!" Taeil reassures her. "Yeah we can split up and look for him. Um...here y/n take this gun and search the hallway." Taeyong says. Without really thinking, y/n snatches the gun from Taeyong's hand then rushes out of the room.
Tumblr media
Yuta tries to sit up multiple times, but he's too weak. Come on Yuta...we need to see if y/n is okay... He tries again then falls back down. He groans in pain. He was about to give up when he heard the sweetest sound known to man. "Yuta? Yuta are you in there?" She's okay? She's okay! He musters up all his strength to say, "I'm in here..." "Okay honey hang on!" y/n started to kick the door with all her might. Freaking bunny slippers. With a few more intense kicks, the door burst open. These doors are way too weak. Y/n runs to Yuta. She puts his face in her hands. "I should kill them for hurting you like this." Yuta lets out a weak chuckle. Y/n smiles slightly and starts to untie Yuta's hands and legs. She wraps his arm around her shoulders and her free arm around his waist. "Okay baby let's get out of here.”
Y/n and Yuta walk through many halls trying to find an exit, but no luck. Eventually they saw something. Sadly it wasn't an exit. It was Haechan. The man that caused all of this had his gun pointed at him. The man's goons were on the ground with bullet wounds. His back was faced towards them. Haechan sees the two, but tried not to look at them for long so the man wouldn't notice them. By the way that Yuta was looking at him, y/n knew for sure that that was the man who did this to them. "Where's your group now Haechan? They left without you? How sad. Maybe if you just did what you promised then this wouldn't be happening." The man scowls. "We didn't promise anything!" "Tsk. You really should learn how to keep your word Haechan. Now I'll have to kill you." The man turns the gun's safety off and was about to shoot Haechan when he heard someone speak. "Not on my watch, bitch." Y/n shoots the guy on the back of his head. Yuta and Haechan are in shock. The members came running in that direction after hearing the gunshot. They looked at y/n with wide eyes because she still had her gun raised. She looked so cool.
Tumblr media
On the car ride to the NCT 127 safe place, y/n couldn't stop talking about what happened. "Yuta did you see me? The guy was all like 'don't break your promises' and Haechan was like 'wahhh don't shoot me' and I was like 'not on my watch, bitch' and the guy was all like 'ndihnfuinawebbdd'. Yuta I cursed AND shot a man! Didn't I look cool?!" The guys smile at y/n's cute excitement. "Yes darling, I saw." Yuta says with a chuckle. "What a rush! Yuta we'll be like Bonnie and Clyde!" Y/n rambles for the rest of the car ride, making the guys laugh and less tense after what all went down. Yuta stares at his love and can't help but think, that's my bunny slipper hero.

Building Block Figs - Catching Light
Continuing on from the last Building Block Figs - Basking in the Sun and Building Block Figs - Beautiful Fight Scene in the Middle of the Lake, Part 1 and Part 2, we have this wonderful set.
These figs make me laugh - I love them so much! I don't know why, I just find them ridiculously charming.
This building block set is 1,544 pieces, measures 8.4 x 17.6 x 15.6 cm, and is rated 10 hours. I did indeed take all 10 hours to build this, if not a little bit more.
Here is the sales pic of what the finished product is supposed to look like:
Tumblr media
Cute, isn't it? As usual, sellers do a much better job of setting the scene than I do. I will say, though, that I did make two little tweaks to the set to make it a bit more canon compliant. Can you spot them?
It'll be easier to tell as we get better pictures, so I'll get into it!
Tumblr media
First, here's the box of doom bricks. Like the others, this came in a generic sales box, with a super handy little unsnapping tool, and a sticker with a black and white image of the set and QR code instructions.
Once again, you'll notice my line up of extra bricks from the previous sets hanging out in quasi-neat little rows. Originally I figured I'll leave them all out in case I ran short of any, but in reality, this set maker gives me extras of each color every time. Which is handy, as you will see for later posts, when I make some adjustments to the fig sets to make them a bit more canon compliant.
Tumblr media
As you can see, there's a LOT of extra bricks left over. To be honest, there shouldn't be so many white bricks - those are from another set that I made a major change to. I'll post about that one tomorrow.
Tumblr media
Here's the different order of assembly - I went ahead and started with the base and tree, as they suggest.
Tumblr media
As you can see, this is a very beautiful terrain here. I did not remember this area being so green and flowery from the show - in fact, I remember it being kind of sandy and desolate, but my memory is pretty lousy, there might be a scattered flower or so. Let's check.
Tumblr media
HUH. There is not a flower in sight, is there. Hmmm. Well, this is kind of gonna bother me. Maybe I should have looked up the inspiration before putting together the entire 10 hour plus set, huh! Well, the little flowers are easy enough to lever off.
Hmm, anyway, moving on (for now).
Tumblr media
So a couple things here. First, as you can see, there are only two green colors. I mean, one normal color really - the light green here is actually a neon green. It's brighter than it looks here. It looks great here, don't get me wrong, but now all I can see is the very sandy terrain of that screenshot.
Second, I tried something a little different here. It actually takes a long time to sort all the individual bricks, so in an attempt to shave off some time, I decided to experiment with this set. As you can see, I dumped the entire bag out to the right and am just picking out individual pieces as I go.
Tumblr media
You'll note it's now evening. This tree took a LONG time to build. I actually timed myself up to this point, and to get to this mostly-done state took 2 hours and 58 minutes. I was pushing hard, too, because I really, really wanted to get the whole tree done that evening before I went to bed. But there was no way. I was too tired and was hitting the point where it was less fun and more work. So, despite really not wanting to, I summoned my inner adult and called it a day here.
Tumblr media
Fast forward through time to the next day, and I'm all bright eyed and ready to bust this tree out. And it's done! I like this tree a whole lot...I think they did a beautiful job modeling it. Imagine if they had the full Lego suite of colors and special pieces! It would be really something. I kind of like it this way though (although I would take more colors, I can't lie). It really has an old-school style charm.
You can see the grey rock there where Lao Wen will be propped up against. And of course, the cheerful greenery and pink and yellow flowers.
Feeling VERY accomplished, I put the tree aside, and moved on to A-Xu.
Tumblr media
Yep, looks pretty good. I was a little surprised they picked the medium blue color instead of the dark blue color, considering how bright the dark blue color actually is. But this looks fine too.
Tumblr media
I am going to proudly say that I did, in fact, knock this fig out in record time. I've put together two and a half A-Xu figs by now (the half is going to be explained tomorrow, I promise!), so this third one went like a breeze.
As you can see in the back, I couldn't help myself, I was starting to make a few little piles of the colors I was working on. The big messy pile of bricks was kind of a pain, and I had to keep resisting the urge to sort them out.
Tumblr media
And here he is! All done. He has a very solemn no-expression on his little brick face, which is appropriate. Can you see how there's a little bit of a neck (nothing too saucy or anything), the thin white layer of his under-robe, and then the lighter blue layer? I love it. Very charming. We also have his black belt with a bit of the tails.
It was yet another evening by this time, but since I did manage to finish him before I went to bed, I did indeed sleep the sleep of the righteous.
Tumblr media
I woke up even brighter eyed and with pep in my step, ready to rock this last fig out. 10 hour assembly time? I don't think so!
I had now made three Wen Kexing brick figures, so the fourth one was gonna be just as quick as A-Xu was, no doubt. I pulled up the instructions on my phone, and got ready to go. 95 steps for our battle-weary Valley Master, huh? Huh. That's kind of a lot. But considering A-Xu was 85, not too bad. The tree was 119, by the way.
As I looked at the picture, however, I noticed that they had Lao Wen's (virtually) omnipresent hair wispies here. Given that this red wedding costume is the one outfit where his hair is pulled back all the way, it kind of bugged me. Which is funny because I've never liked how he doesn't have the wispies with this hair style on the show. It's my least favorite look on him, which is too bad, because I did like how they at least mixed his hairstyles up some. In my defense, I feel like I'm right (so right!) about how much better he looks with the wispies with this hair style, because you could see it at the concert. And he looked spectacular.
Anyway. Warring between my extreme desire for him to have the wispies and the simple fact of it not being canon, I started to build.
Tumblr media
I got the first big chunk done very quickly indeed. Many of these figs are done where you do a big piece, and then set it aside while you work separately on the next piece. This is where I was.
Tumblr media
And that's where I stayed, for a long time. I built this piece three times. I had to completely disassemble the entire thing the first time I built it, because I was off on my brick count, and the second time I had to disassemble it down to the first third.
Tumblr media
Part of the problem was the way the directions were. As you can see, they still have the first "set it aside" part showing up on the directions directly under the new piece. Unfortunately, all that red blended into each other when I rotated the image around, and it was very easy to accidentally think I needed more or less pieces than I actually did.
I went ahead and built it with the wispies, as directed...and then just couldn't do it. I disassembled half the head and re-built it again without them. I also think that this fig, just like Lao Wen, does not look as good without them, but canon is canon.
Unfortunately, it was so late and I was so tired by the time I finished him (and yet also pretty jubilant), that I forgot to take a pic of the finished fig! Yes, I literally finished this set late last night, despite my best intentions of finishing it up and then triumphantly posting about it on the same day. It did, in fact, take longer than the 10 hours build time.
It took a long time, in general. My finger tips have actually toughened up a bit, so they don't feel sore from snapping the bricks in place, but my neck isn't all that pleased with me from hunching over these various sets for so long. So, I've been taking a few more breaks to stretch and do other things.
But, I woke up early today, and very happily took this set's beauty pics in the clear light of the morning. I love it!
Tumblr media
I love how this set all fits together. We have the tree growing over the edge of the base, and Lao Wen there leaning up against the rock. A-Xu is standing with his elegant posture, and their little brick hands are reaching out to each other. Cute cute cute!
Tumblr media
Wow, this light is great. I clearly should get up early to take fig pics more often.
Tumblr media
The tree looks great, I think (and not just because I spent hours building it!).
Tumblr media
This is a good view of the rocks behind Lao Wen here, and his big ponytail (I do like this part of his hairstyle).
Tumblr media
The green doesn't look so bad on the ground, I think. I'll pull off the yellow and pink flowers, and maybe make a brown patch on the corner closest to A-Xu. That'll keep it colorful but make it a bit more like the show.
Tumblr media
A-Xu's hair looks great, as usual. You can also see how I removed the wispies on Lao Wen's hair. I'll get a close up later so you can see it better.
Tumblr media
Shoot, not my best pic - can't really see any of the detail on A-Xu's glorious night-black hair.
Tumblr media
There we go, now you can. Oops, I see I knocked a tiny piece out of kilter on the bottom of his hair, I'll have to fix that. But! Here you can see both changes I made from the instructions - the lack of wispies of course, and then I made Lao Wen's guan gold instead of white. This took a while too, because I didn't have enough yellow pieces. The only yellow I had from any of the sets was literally from the yellow flowers here and the few extra they gave me of it. I actually pulled a few yellow flowers off the base there and replaced them with green or pink, just because I needed them for his guan. I then also carefully checked to see what internal yellow bricks were covered up by the black of his hair, and replaced them with black so I could save the yellow ones for the parts that did show. I'm very happy with how it turned out! It looks just like the white one, except, you know, yellow.
I don't know why they didn't originally design it with yellow, given that it is gold on the show, and they had already included yellow bricks with this kit. Maybe they felt the white stood out more or something. Anyway, it was bothering me it was white, so I'm glad I was able to figure out a way to make it work.
Tumblr media
Alright, we're back around! And a bit of a different angle here, so you can see the poses a little bit more clearly.
Tumblr media
Alright, a true top-down pic here. May I just say one more time how much I like this tree! The detail in A-Xu's guan is really nice too.
Tumblr media
The bottoms-up pics are always tough here with the bases. Not a flattering picture, sorry A-Xu!
Tumblr media
A close up of our noble shixiong with his little hand outstretched...
Tumblr media
...and our weary shidi. What a great set, I love it! I'm so delighted by it, I can't even tell you.
Alright! come back tomorrow, for the much hinted at next set. And the last one, for a while - I have to wait for the remaining sets to be sent to me.
(Come back tomorrow, she says, as she still has some assembly on the last fig to do! I'll wake up bright and early tomorrow, and hopefully finish up).
Material: Plastic bricks
Fig Count: 506
Scene Count: 35
Rating: They're actually both reaching for their light

Because they’re running out of time kiss
Jesslake
Jesse was going to leave soon. Not forever and not for good- it wasn't the same kind of urgency Lake had felt on the train. The same pressure of his number dropping.
No, not at all.
It was summer camp.
It drove them crazy, late into the night. It was some swimming thing. They'd tried to talk the Cosay's into signing them up too, but it was eventually deemed a hazard. Lake couldn't swim- being metal. They wouldn't have any fun at a summer camp that was based around solely that.
And Jesse was so excited about it! He was going to make new friends. Meet new people with similar interests- people who could enjoy the thing he loved. In a way Lake couldn't.
It was frustrating. Part of them wanted to march their way to the camp in the cover of night, anyway. Just so the two of them could hang out. Lake could read or draw until the camp was done for the day.
But that was a bit too reminiscent of what Tulip had done when her parents couldn't send her to game design camp. And Lake wasn't chancing a second trip on the train like Jesse had.
They were still a bit in denial about him leaving. Not really wanting to believe they'd be without him for the better part of the summer. The two of them had been attached at the hip for so long it felt unnatural. Wrong.
Supposedly, having time away from each other would be good for them. And Jesse would have his phone, so they could still text, but-
It really wasn't the same.
"Are you up?" They nudged his shoulder. Attempting to keep their voice low, so as not to disturb the rest of the house.
He had an early morning tomorrow, for sure, but that didn't stop them from waking him now. Their insides felt itchy knowing that he'd be heading out in just a couple hours.
Because that's all the time they had left together, right now. Just a few more hours. Lake couldn't bear to sleep knowing that.
"Hmmm?" He groused, rolling over to face them. His eyes blinked open and closed, before he rubbed his face with the palm of his hands. Struggling to wake up enough to process what was happening. "Is it five already?"
"No." They admitted, a bit guiltily.
"You okay?" He seemed a bit more aware now, looking at Lake and the clock beside his bed.
They almost said yes. Because nothing was wrong. Not really. The unsettled feeling in their gut- the anxious crawling of their skin- those weren't something they could fix. They weren't Jesse's fault.
But they weren't okay. That was why they had come to bother him in the first place.
Instead of answering, they rested their head against his chest. Sapping up as much of his warmth as possible.
Jesse didn't seem to mind. Placing a hand on their back and rubbing idle circles.
"I'm gonna miss you, too." He said, his voice still heavy with sleep.
"I know." Because of course he would. Of course Lake knew that it went both ways. It didn't make it easier.
"Have you been up all night?"
They had. Sleep had alluded them with their thoughts running a mile an hour. "Maybe."
"C'mere." He scooted, lifting his blanket up and making room for Lake on the bed. It creaked with their added weight, but they were used to it by now.
"You'll call me every day, right?" They asked, as Jesse wrapped the blanket over their shoulder.
He nodded. "Every day. And I'll text you too. And send pictures."
"You won't forget me?" It was whiney and needy and Lake felt kind of pathetic asking. Of course he wouldn't. Of course he wouldn't. But that hollow ache in their chest- they wanted to hear it. Needed to hear it.
"Not even if I tried." He yawned, pulling Lake in closer so their foreheads could rest together.
The tension eased, but there was still a jittery electricity that Lake couldn't shake. The need for more. For something else.
He was still awake, his eyes on them. Trying to make sure that they were okay. Even half asleep he'd do everything he could.
Lake pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. Light and quick. They wouldn't get the chance to kiss him for over a month, so they had to do it now.
Jesse was much more awake as they pulled away. Eyes wide and beautiful and- and Lake felt far too vulnerable under his curious gaze.
Suddenly they wanted to be far, far away. Somewhere he couldn't stare into their soul and ask why they'd kissed him because- they didn't really know. They'd just wanted to. It just felt right. Like the thing to do.
But no questions filled the air. Jesse didn't pry. He just pressed a kiss of his own to Lake's forehead.
All the worry, all of Lake's anxieties about Jesse leaving, drained right out of them. Their limbs feeling about as heavy as a metal limb should as they yanked the covers up to their chin.
"Good night."
"Sweet dreams."
And they were a little sad, that they might not get to see Jesse off tomorrow, but this was goodbye enough. They'd spent too long watching the clock tik down. Sleep consumed them easily.

Hey would you be cool with me requesting a drawing of my journalist/sona design? (Buddy Saturnclaws- I'll add the ref to this ask) only if you're interested tho-
Tumblr media
Alternatively (or simultaneously if you're interested in both) maybe any grumpus (could be your fave or just random) but like more based around a certain animal (kinda like anthro but with grumpus in place of human) i.e beffica as raccoon or wiggle as ferret
Anyways have a good day tomorrow hope you're interested in at least one of these requests 😉
Tumblr media
Here ya go! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR JOURNALIST, THEY’RE SO SCRUNKLYYY AAAAAA/POS
As for the other request… I never actually thought of that. BUT THANKS FOR THE IDEA OF THE GRUMPS BEING ANTHROS. Not gonna draw em… but ima put what animal would work well with them cause why not?
My journalist/buddy - C a t. My version of buddy is fucking cat coded, therefore, 🐈
Filbo - I feel like most people would put him as a mouse or a bunny, which would work for him! But for me? AN OTTER. IM SORRY, BUT AN OTTER WOULD FIT HIM. 🦦
Wambus - the first thing that came to mind was something like an Ox or a bull… but nah. Vampire bat fits him the most. Both seem scary at first, but after some interaction and observation, they’re actually quite nice! Unless provoked. 🦇
Beffica - I absolutely agree with you, a raccoon would fit her very well 🦝
Gramble - SHORT HORNED LIZARD. Small, but aggressive when provoked. Plus they can shoot blood out of their eyes, which is kinda cool. 🦎 🩸
Triffany - MILLIPEDE. SHES A GODDAMN MILLIPEDE, YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND. 🐛
Wiggle - A ferret works, yes, but hear me out… a cicada. It’s a hard take, but think about it: both of them sing! 🦟
Cromdo - at First, I was gonna say rattlesnake… BUT A HORNET FITS HIM MORE. CAUSE HORNETS ARE SUCH ASSHOLES, AND CROMDO’S AN ASSHOLE. (No offense to my Cromdo lovers, but he’s a stinky) 🐝
Snorpy - MEERKAT.
Chandlo - hm.. walrus. 100%
Floofty - PLEASE HEAR ME OUT. POODLE MOTH. BECAUSE FLOOFTY HAS THE WORD “FLOOF” IN THEIR NAME. POODLE MOTHS ARE FLOOFY. THEREFORE: POODLE MOTH. 🦋
Shelda - a sheep. A dorper sheep to be exact.
Eggabell - A penguin. It works. 🐧
Lizbert - hmmm. A Wolf works pretty well for her. 🐺
And as a bonus, my grumpus OC (Gollie) would be… a Glass frog. 🐸

Für das Ask-Game: 2, 11, 12, 20, 24, 40
[fic writer ask game]
2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?
I mean, apart form the fact that I *usually* default to oneshots anyway... I tend to just start writing and wait for the story to unfold, but I have recently noticed that it does make writing easier to have, like, a general outline of the fic, so I'm currently experimenting with more planning and stuff.
11. Link your three favorite fics right now
Hmmm, I think I'll go with Mondphasen by @pointwhitmark (yes, it's a series, shhh), you're pulling the trigger all wrong by @crazy-walls as always, and anything i haven't got by @wodkapudding. Very much a Momentaufnahme, might be different tomorrow.
12. how does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?
Hm. Not feedback doesn't affect me *that* much tbh, it's always a bit sad, but I *do* mostly write for myself and like. Probably couldn't stop if I tried. But receiving feedback on something does have a good chance of inspiring me to write more - sometimes something similar, sometimes just in general. But if you (general you) want more fic of a certain kind out of me, commenting on existing stuff in the same direction is probably the best way to go.
20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?
Well, there's A Lot of age difference stuff, quite some sexual-relationship-without-romance, but someone did recently open my eyes to the fact that I also write a fair bit of "sexual relationship where one part is in love/has a crush, but the other holds them at arm's length" and I know exactly why that is and we're not getting into that here. But also, I'm lowkey convinced people could recognise my fic from my beloved "gelinde gesagt" alone xD
24. Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?
Can't really remember anything specific. Maybe the evergreen "never use said" which is terrible advice really.
40. If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?
I mean. I already got some stunning artworks for out of hell (here & here), which would be my #1. But I think the Noir AU or the snooker fic could also be really fun to have something visual for? Just. Good-looking men in nice suits with very specific vibes xD

Tommy's Girl
Tumblr media
😍Pairing: Steve Harrington x F!Reader
💭summary: He knows he’s not supposed to fall in love with his friend’s girlfriend. He knows it’s not very King Steve… but he does know how Tommy really treat his girlfriend. What will Steve do?
⚠️warning: mentions of cheating; mostly fluff with a tiny bit of angst
🎶 Song Inspiration: Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield
Tumblr media
There was just something about the rhythm of the song that you can’t help but sing and dance to. Rick Springfield just knew what he was doing when he released Jessie’s Girl.
You didn’t notice that there were eyes on you as you danced along to the song while you wiped down the diner’s counter. Except they weren’t the pair of eyes of your boyfriend. No. They were of his once best friend. The only and only Steve Harrington.
Steve knew he shouldn’t feel this way for you. You were someone else’s girlfriend. Except… Steve knew how Tommy treated and saw you in the relationship.
He once had been the same as Tommy but he changed. Tommy… Well Tommy stayed Tommy.
“You’re drooling!” Dustin teases Steve, who immediately looks to see if you heard.
“Shut it Henderson.”
“You know you have to tell her. He’s been stringing her all along and for what to get into her pants?”
Steve scoffs at the plan he and Dustin overheard and hates that he used to be the same.
Both boys are engrossed in their conversation that they don’t hear you approaching them. “Can I get you a refill on anything?” You ask.
Steve just stares at you as Dustin rolls his eyes and asks two refills on their soft drinks. "Anyways... you know she deserves to know the truth and if you know it you should man up and tell her!”
You return with the promised soft drinks. “On the house. You guys are the only ones here. Want anything else? The kitchen is about to close.”
“A date!” The curly haired teenager says.
You laugh. “Maybe in a few years Dustin… Besides. I’m scare Suzy will wipe the floor with me.”
He smiles widely and shows his teeth. “The ladies just love me.”
You smile adoringly at the young boy you used to babysit. “That we do.” You turn to Steve. “What’s on your mind Harrington?”
“Hmmm… Oh uhm….”
“He’s in love with a girl that’s dating some idiot.”
“Ah! I see. It’s a tough position.”
Not looking at you, Steve just mumbles “She deserves better than T- her current boyfriend…” He stares out the window for a moment.
You go tell your boss you’re going to take a break before closing. You return to the boys and sit next to Steve.
You, however, miss the cheeky smile Dustin gives Steve. “You Steve are a treasure. You’ve changed since high school… This Steve… This Steve is much cooler than King Steve.” His cheeks and the tips of his ears flush pink.
“But he’s a dork that babysits teenagers!”
“And here you didn’t want me babysitting you Dustin,” you tease.
“Any girl would be lucky to date you,” you turn back to Steve and give his hand a squeeze.
Knowing this is his only shot, he takes a deep breath. “The thing is the guy… He cheats on her and makes her feel like she’s not enough.”
Your own cheeks flush. “That’s truly a terrible feeling. Nobody should be made felt like that.”
Steve’s hand now gives yours a squeeze. “She’s an amazing girl that just cares for everyone. And it’s terrible for me to want someone that is already dating someone else…”
You look into his beautiful brown eyes. Before you can say anything else, your boss calls you back to the kitchen.
“I have to go Steve… You're working tomorrow at Family Video? We can finish this conversation,” you say before heading back to the kitchen.
“I'll play along with the charade. There doesn't seem to be a reason to change… I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot,” Steve mumbles under his breath as he watches you get back to work. “C’mon Henderson! Gotta get you home.”
Tumblr media
After your shift, you drive over to Tommy’s house, where you spot Carol’s car. You also see his parent’s cars, so you decide to give them all a show. You know his parents love you and believe he’s their sweet angel baby.
You ring the doorbell and smirk when Carol answers, looking guilty. “Uh… Hi.”
“Hello Carol. I needed to speak with Tommy and then with you… but seeing that you’re already here, I’ll talk to you all now,” you say determined.
Mr. and Mrs. Hagan hear your voice and go to greet you. “Hi, love. How are you?”
“I’m doing great actually. I am happy that I found a guy that makes me happy and truly understands what it means to care for someone and be loyal to them.”
Tommy’s parents look at him with happy tears brimming in their eyes. “Oh no. It’s not Tommy. He’s been cheating on me with Carol. That’s why she’s here, isn’t it? You Tommy… You’ll never change. You’ll still be the same Tommy from high school. Always putting down others to make yourself feel better. Making one doubt their worth.”
You turn to leave and then you say “I wish you and Carol the lives you deserve for your selfishness… Mr. and Mrs. Hagan, you’ll always be my favorite Hagans. Always let me know when you come to the diner so I can get you something free.”
After giving Tommy’s parents a hug goodbye, you make your way out to go home. As soon as you get to your car and start driving, you feel a sense of relief. You no longer feel the need to change who you are to make someone else happy.
Tumblr media
Last night you turned the page of the chapter that was Tommy Hagan.
Today would be the start of a new chapter. Would it end in heartbreak or happiness? You didn’t know yet, but you were still excited.
The bells jingled above you, announcing your arrival at Family Video. “Welcome to Family Video,” you hear Robin.
“Hi Robin! I came to return these movies and rent some new ones,” you tell her.
“Steve’s on break,” she says grinning when she catches you looking around to see if you saw him.
You chuckle nervously. “I just… I promised him I’d stop by to finish a conversation we were having yesterday.”
At hearing your voice, Steve rushed out from the back room, startling you. “You came!” He exclaims.
“Yeah. I promised you we’d finish the conversation.”
He nods and gestures for you to join him on a walk outside. “I just wanted to thank you for not kicking us out of the diner.”
“I would never. You and Henderson are two of my favorite customers… I admire and, honestly speaking, love how you’ve taken Dustin in and become the big brother he’s always needed in his life. Don’t tel him but he’s one of my favorite from the gang,” you say with a wink and bump your shoulder into his.
He smiles and runs his hand through his hair. His beautiful, soft, brown hair.
“Steve… I… I think you deserve to tell the girl you like what you feel. Not because you’re being selfish… but because she may need to hear that someone out there does care for her.”
He laughs in disbelief. “You’d have never said that if you knew who it was.”
Stopping in your tracks and turning to look him straight in his eyes you ask “Is the jerk boyfriend… Is it Tommy?”
He just looks back at you for a long moment before he nods. You notice the quick flicker his eyes make to look at your lips for a moment before retuning to your eyes.
“I dumped him. I found out he never broke up with Carol but he lied to his parents and meabout it.”
Steve risks it and moves in for a kiss. “I’ll never treat you how he did,” he says once he pulls back from kissing you.
“I know. I believe you,” you reply as a hand cups his cheek. “I like Dorky Babysitter Steve so much better than King Steve.”
“Be my girl,” he says softly before kissing you again. Steve no longer had to wish he had Tommy’s girl. Your nod as you both kiss was the only response he needed.
You are now Steve’s girl and you know your next chapter in life will be the best with him in your life.

Neta: cod I hate it when the school year starts This place is practically dead
Mahi: we can clean the floors
Neta: The floors are clean
Mahi: fold some shirts
Neta: shirts are folded, shoes are organized, jewelry is put away everything is where it's supposed to be. I'M SO BORRRRRRED! *Sigh* Fuck it The mall's closing in 3 hours anyway. maki!!
Mahi: Yes sir?!
Neta: pack it up we're closing early. We're going to go to the food court. Maybe get some coconut shrimp bombs at shrimp Castle and watch some little ankle biters play turf war.
Mahi: alright sir
Neta: kid, you don't need to call me sir. A little too formal for me. Just call me Neta.
Mahi: oh thank Cod ok
(Neta orders food for both of them and they watch kids play terf war)
Neta: so.....
Mahi: hmmm
Neta: you know since you got the job already you don't need to be all proper and stuff around me. You're allowed to swear or sit down and all that, it's a pretty lax job.
Mahi: are you sure?
Neta: Yes... of course you know be reasonable tho! like don't tell a customer to go fuck themselves *hehehe* leave that to me. But don't stress yourself out. Jobs should be fun and fulfilling.
I've been in the military for 9 years. Constantly being told what to do and how to do it. What to say and what not to say and if you don't do it right the first time you get scolded.
Mahi: wow that sucked
Neta: yeah..... kid you're quiet
Mahi: oh uh-
Neta: Tell me something interesting. what is the worst thing you have stolen? Tell me and I'll tell you mine
Mahi: ok.... Uh.... Shit I don't want to get fired but two years ago when the store was new I saw a squid squad keychain that I really liked I took it, put it in my pocket and I ran out of the store! pleasedon'tfireme!
Neta:......................
Mahi: in my defense I bought a shirt as well and I also bought a little figure. I just didn't pay for the keychain. I'm so sorry I shouldn't have said anything I'll just turn in my name tagand go
Neta: ..........a keychain? that's it?
Mahi: yeah.
Neta: *snort* okay kid that's nothing to be fired over *hehehe* uhhhh. The worst thing that I've ever stolen..... Uh I really hope I don't get in trouble for this. Come close
Mahi:.....*leans in*
Neta: so like said I was in the military. For the first four years of my service I was a part of an platoon of 100 soldiers training for a mission called project Z. Our mission was to go up to the surface and steal the great Zatfish from Inkopolis.
Mahi:............. what?.............
Neta: yeah..... technically I could get arrested for that and probably be charged for a war crime because I did go against The ink treaties agreement Soooo ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
Mahi:......... .............. .
Neta: it's a good thing they didn't install cameras until after it was stolen right. *Wheeze*
Mahi: ..... Yeah...... It's a good thing they didn't think that far ahead...... Ohhh Cod
Neta: hm... man look those kids in turf war. They should be in school, where are these kids parents? Cod looks at that kid with that bronze E-Liter. Damn that's an old model.
I used to have that when I was a kid...you know she kind of looks like..... My daughter-CIRRINA!!! *Sigh* It was nice talking to you kid. I got to go. Uhhhh..... Here, have some money for the train and remember we have inventory tomorrow. You need to come at least an hour early. Cirrina! You better have a good reason why you aren't in school!!
Mahi: He's a war criminal???
Mahi belongs to @literallyneurodivergentandaminor

It's ya boy 6'3 anon back at it again with another request
I have like two i had in mind before i head off to bed cuz i have a very creative mind lol
idea 1 was a follow up to where the reader got chased by a yandere tang yun were after the reader passed out from exhaustion from crying and thrashing around they awake in Tang yuns home. The reader can either be the classic chained to the bed or a good old put in a cage. Or maybe chained in a basement wall if he'd have a basement (he'd probably use it to hoard extra stuff ngl ☠️) He'd approach the reader when they awoke and then go on to say the usual yandere stuff like "your my most prized possession" "i'll never let you out of my sight" etc and would be mad at the reader for running in the first place
Idea two was for jacob since he only has one fic rn lol. Basically the reader is a Lamia (half snake half human) who is as big as jacobs snake buddy. I was thinking Jacob ended up mistaking the reader as his snake buddy which is how they encounter each other and when he realizes they're chill he'll hang out with them a lot.
Hmmm not very inspired by these two ideas but i can give my two cents anyhow.
Ehhh i have a hard time actually ever picturing Tang yun getting MAD is the thing. Which is why i wrote it as such a big deal that one time he did. He seems more passive aggressive than he is full on loud and angry. Since he does have a shackle on his ankle, maybe he'd put one on you? But honestly he doesn't strike me as a yandere that would necessarily go to the extreme lengths you might think of. He kinda stays on the 'talk only to me or you'l be finding a decapitated finger in your mailbox tomorrow' kinda yandere stage. Just because keeping an eye on you and locking you up 25/7 is nothing more than annoying. It's like an animal- you like the spending time with it part but not the 'taking care of it so it stays alive and healthy' part. If you became unhappy and depressed then you wouldn't be the same and he'd be mad about that. No, he gotta keep you in a semi normal environment.... you just, can't even begin to show interest in anyone else. Or if he does keep you around forcefully, it won't be in some dark spooky room all alone. He'd probably let you roam around a bit, you just can't actually leave the house unsupervised. He doesn't care if you touch his stuff, you won't be able to leave with it anyway.
Jacob, all half asleep making lost grabby hands trying to feel for Jorm. Ahhh there is that scaly squishy texture! Oh- Jormun doesn't flicker away when he tries climbing on him... oh! He apologizes- halfheartedly. He doesn't even look genuine but that's just how Jacob is. Something about "thought you were someone else..." now visible confusion cuz you're pretty positive it's near impossible to mistake YOU for- oh. He was looking for that giant snake over there. Huh. Jacob probably takes a bit to even comprehend the situation, then whilst petting Jormun he'l stare at you with a deadpan expression "You're cool. You don't talk much. Can i hang around for a bit?" I mean like why not

Wha your an inspiration! Also sorry I meant to say what things will you see in your lifetime enter the public domain bsbsbhsbs should have said that! Anyways I'm happy to see the final stuff from the 1920s finally be layer to rest and enter the public domain by 2025! Also should more people be hyped and anticipated for the Steamboat Willie (1928) or The Opry House (1929) in your opinion/thoughts?
Anyways, what your top 15 most anticipated and hyped things whether it be cartoon/film, book or something else that will enter the public domain? Wah so sorry for so many questions dvbdbdd qwq
Things I'd like to see in my life time? well I did bring up a New Hope because I could live to see that enter the public Domain, I'd be in my 80s so it could happen. I'd love to see the end of the 95 year copyright, which would be the same year as Star Wars, in general I'd love for the law to change to something more reasonable because right now.... when the 95 year copyright term runs out we could be looking at works under copyright for well over 100 years, for example George Lucas is still alive if he died tomorrow by my math Empire would be under copyright till 2099, since he's a healthy (as far as I know) man in his late 70s he could live another 10 or 15 years (maybe even 20+) expending the term deep into the next century.
On Mickey Mouse, thats a tricky question. The Issue is the difference between Trademark and Copyright. Copyright is ownership of the whole idea in all contexts, while trademark is limited to images and words (or phrases) used for marketing. SO for example you could do a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" style movie and have Mickey (and/or Minnie) show up. However Disney still holds/will hold the Trademark because those can be renewed endlessly, so you wouldn't be allowed to use his name in the title, or say his name in the trailers or any marketing. My question and I don't know is how much of the image do they own? could you use him in Steamboat Willie form? I would guess no, I think you'd be barred from using his image in marketing but I'd also guess you'd have a legal fight with Disney trying to use trademark as copyright.
in any case I think... there's a big big Disney community and I'd guess the first effect would be fan art and unofficial merchandise blowing up big time.
top 15? hmmm well I'll stick to stuff coming out in the near-ish future, I'm very unlikely under current laws to live to see Harry Potter become public, but that'd be a trip to see.
The Hobbit (1937): thankfully Elves and dwarfs were not made up by Tolkien so fantasy can basically steal his ideas freely but it's very clear we've all been playing in JRR's sandbox since at least The Lord of The Rings of not the Hobbit so releasing this out into the wild will be amazing also hobbits which he did make up (and also Ents, and the Uruk-hai) to finally be allowed to appear in all the fantasy literature that has elves and dwarfs.
The Wizard of Oz: Of course the original book by L. Frank Baum has been public for years and years and nothing stops any one from trying to make another one, and some have. See "The Wiz" and also "Wicked" but the 1939 movie remains a triumph and a huge piece of cultural history, I'm unsure what could be done with it, but you know
Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Captain America: I mean this should shock no one that this is something I want to see. But I think... Superman and Batman in particular are SUCH a universal part of our culture, you can stop randos on the street who have NEVER read a comic and say "what is Batman's name?" or Superman and they can answer, they can tell you Superman's powers. I think in terms of universally known and recognizable pieces of pop culture... I mean nothing else under copyright today is as big of a pop icon as they are they are as part of the basement of our popular imagination as Dracula, or Santa.
I'm sure a lot of other stuff but I think I've gone on long enough

[the letter is paired with a bouquet of a mix of sumeru roses and padisarahs and a bag of whatever your favorite sweet is]
To Auguste,
…Happy Valentine's Day. It feels odd even writing that. I know the holiday means something to you, so while I ordinarily wouldn't even care about it… I can't leave you with nothing. And along with that… you get to pick what we do today.
Yes, that does mean anything, but don't get carried away, alright? Though, I suppose if it makes you happy… I can let it slide for today. You do deserve to feel special and happy, every day but especially today.
Nn… I suppose I should also mention given the topic of the letter… I love you. More than I ever thought was possible for someone like me. More than someone like me deserves.
Anyway, meet up with me on the outskirts of Sumeru City after you get this. You know - our usual meet-up spot. I'll be waiting.
Signed,
Yours,
Haru
[Hey, Auguste! I hope you have a wonderful day today! (or tomorrow - saw your recent post and decided to send this early!)] -- violetsareblue-selfships]
Dear Haru,
Words cannot begin to describe how happy I was to receive your letter. You never fail to make me smile, how do you do it?
Oh but where are my manners! Happy Valentine’s Day! I love you so much… more than you will ever know. You deserved to be loved and I will gladly spend the rest of my life showing you just how much I love you.
You said I could ask for anything today? Hmmm that leaves me a lot of options! But I also want you to have a good time today, so I’ll choose carefully! What should I pick? Maybe we should take a walk in the forest? Or maybe we could go and try that cafe in Port Ormos, you know the one I keep telling you about? Or maybe I could just ask for a kiss or two or three or four?But I guess right now I should go get ready. I have plenty of time to think about what we should do today! I’ll meet you soon, at our usual spot. Promise I won’t be late!
Love,
Auguste
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA APRIL!!! Thank you so much for sending this letter, receiving it genuinely made me so happy! Even though I won’t have a lot of time to celebrate today, I will definitely think of spending time with Haru (Scara)!! You’re such a talented writer and I think you nailed his personality perfectly!! Thank you again for sending this! I hope you have an amazing day, full of love and time spent with your f/os, you deserve the best!]

Chapter 8: Soft Rain - Spring, Year 1
Lewis: You should expand your horizons, Elliot. I mean, shipping crops IS good but imagine how well your farm could do if you added animal produce and artisan goods to your exports.
Lewis' words were running over Elliot's head. He was right, though. She should expand her horizons.
The following day after the Flower Dance, Elliot had been busy focusing on her farm and it's performance. She thought she'd made good progress on her combat abilities so she took a break from going to the mines for now.
Various documents and lists littered Ellie's table. Her laptop opened on a spreadsheet monitoring her finances.
Elliot: Hmm. Alright, let's get a coop then.
+++++
It was a rainy afternoon when Ellie started walking to Robin's.
Robin: Oh no! You're soaked.
Ellie: Ah, sorry 'bout your floor, Robin.
Robin: No worries, Ellie. I'll just mop that later. How can I help you?
Ellie and Robin discussed the terms and process of getting a coop.
Robin: Alright, I'll get started on your new coop first thing tomorrow.
Ellie: Thank you, Robin. Would you like to have breakfast together then?
Robin: Ooooh farm fresh ingredients? Sign me up!
+++++
Ellie closed the door behind her and opened her umbrella.
Seb: You gettin'a new coop?
Ellie jumped.
Ellie: Jeez, Seb!
Sebastian laughed. He was leaning on a wall, smoking.
Seb: Sorry... You're so jumpy!
Ellie: I didn't even know you were there!
Seb: Hah, yeah I went out while you and mom were talking.
Ellie: Stop sneaking up on me!
Sebastian laughed again. He threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped on it, putting it out.
Ellie frowned.
Ellie: Man, could you stop that?
Seb: I thought you didn't like the smell?
Ellie: Yeah, but I meant littering, also.
Seb: Alright, I'll try. Headed home?
Ellie thought about what Elliott told her the night of the Flower Dance.
Elliott: Maybe you could look at my drafts and give me feedback...
Ellie: Ehhhh. Think I'm going to the beach for a bit.
Seb: Oh? I'm going there too, actually.
Ellie: Really? Didn't know you liked going there.
Seb: Yeahhh, I only go there when it's raining. Not a big fan of the sun.
Ellie: Same! Rain is so nice, don't you think? Come on, then.
Sebastian smiled and opened his own umbrella.
Seb: So, uh. Whatcha doin' there?
Ellie: Think I'm gonna visit my friend, Elliott.
Seb: I see. The writer, right?
Ellie: Mhm.
Seb: You like books then?
Ellie: Yeah, I guess. I don't read very often, though. Just when my friends recommend me something good.
Seb: Cool. What genres do you like?
Ellie: Hmmm, lemme think... Sci-fi, fantasy, mystery and horror, maybe. Sometimes I read classics, but never romance. Not really my thing.
Seb: That's nice. I like basically the same genres but I never do classics. I respect a good romance, though.
Ellie chuckled.
Ellie: Really? Didn't expect that from you, to be quite honest.
Seb: Hah, guess I don't look the part. You also into comic books?
Ellie: Yeah! Do you know Cave Saga X? One of my friends absolutely love that series.
Seb: Yeah! Have you caught up with the new volume yet? I wont spoil it for you, but oh man...
The two of them spent the entire walk chatting with each other with a lot of comfortable silence in between. A few more paces and they were nearing the beach.
Ellie: Oh man, it's cold. What do you usually do here?
Seb: Me? I guess I just hang out by the docks and enjoy the view. The sound of rain on the ocean's very soothing.
Ellie: Hmm, yeah that sounds quite nice.
Seb: ...If you want to, I guess we can hang out here sometime.
Ellie: Sure. I'll be quiet so I don't ruin your drift.
Sebastian chuckled.
Seb: Alright, deal.
They parted ways near the shore.
+++++
Ellie knocked on Elliott's door.
Elliott: Ellie! It's so wonderful to see you!
Ellie: Hi, sorry. I hope you don't mind my boots.
Elliott: Not to worry. I haven't really cleaned my cabin thoroughly anyway. Please, make yourself at home.
Ellie tried her best to remove as much sand and mud from her boots then made her way to Elliott's desk.
Elliott: Would you like something to drink? Coffee or tea, perhaps?
Ellie: I'd like some coffee, please.
Elliott: Coming right up.
Elliott's desk was littered with books and paper. It was quite a mess. A draft was sitting in the middle.
Ellie: Do you have a story in mind right now?
Elliott walked over to Ellie after setting the kettle on his stove. He pulled out a chair for Ellie to sit on, then sat on his own chair.
Elliott, sighing: To be completely honest, Elliot, I cannot decide on what genre I would like my novel to take on. I have characters and arcs in mind but I cannot seem to find a solid setting for them. Say, do you have any suggestions for me?
Ellie thought for a bit.
Ellie: Hmm. You know, Elliott, I'm gonna be honest with you. You seem like such a romantic guy, so I think if you decide to write a romance novel, you would be great at it. Um, I don't like the genre, though, so my second suggestion would be... Mystery? Maybe?
Elliott blushed.
Elliott: Well, I'm quite flattered with your words, Ellie. I'll keep them in mind.
Elliott went over the characters and plot points he had in mind with Ellie. Going over what could go together, which areas need more structure and the like. After a few minutes, the kettle screeches.
Elliott: Oh! Perfect timing.
Elliott walks over to his small kitchen and makes two glasses of coffee. He hands one to Ellie and takes a sip from his own cup.
Elliott: Thank you for the company, Ellie. It was such a lovely surprise to have you here on such a dreary day.
Ellie: You're welcome, Elliott. I hope you finish your novel soon.
Elliott smiled at her and opened a window.
Elliott: Ah, would you look at that. The rain has finally stopped.
He leaned on the window pane, sipping his coffee. Ellie walked over to Elliott to admire the scenery outside.
Elliott: Ah, Ellie. You must know what's bothering my dear companion rose over here, yes? I think it may be wilting under my care.
Ellie took a good look at the rose.
Ellie: You're not watering her with seawater, aren't you?

wow! I'm back tumblr!
280323
went to work this morning.. it's tuesday so i thought it's going to be quiet.... oh hell no. i hate it when people are ordering something with lots of changes in the original menu... also if they order something different and not the usual breakfast meal.. meals such us grilled chicken wrap, blt, steak sandwich and ceasar salad.. hnggggg i hate it! why can't they just order breaky special and egg bacon roll? 😋 but i'm really glad that my poached eggs are improving.. hehe.
so there is this person who was formerly working in that cafe as well. i like him, not romantically yet or i don't know. i just admire him for being stern with his decision. i like people who knows what they want and are good in decision making coz i'm not. also the owners kept on telling stories about him so he's been in my mind like everyday! not a single day that they didn't mention his name. 🙄 not to show loyalty or something but since we are both filipino, and i am really concerned coz it feels like we are talking about him on his back. i am telling him some stories that the owners told me about him. hmmm it kind of feel unfair for him and kasi haha i should have heared those stories directly from him but instead it's the owners who told me. so yeah we've been talking for some time now... i am the kind of person kasi na will say talaga how i feel and then regret it afterwards huhu. so kasi.. i was kind of really flirty rin hnggggg my bad. i'll behave na from now on.
also there is this turkish guy who's been wanting to meet me for i don't know how long na. i finally agreed on meeting him again coz the last scheduled date has been canceled. okayyy i don't know i still don't feel like meeting him eh pero maybe i have to atleast try and whatever happens i guess it's fine coz i'll get to see him personally and know him personally naman.
anyway, i lost some kilos nga pala. most probably kasi wala si ate dito. sometimes i only eat once a day.. yeah not a healthy habit. i just want to go back with my previous weight ☹️ hopefully i can reach it this March. my lowest was 54 but it's fine if i don't achieve that right away. i'm just hoping for atleast a 60kgs.
also yeah sometimes i feeeel sad and lonely. it's my fault rin naman coz sometimes i feel like isolating myself. it's really unfair to my friends... i know and i feel sorry. ☹️ i miss them but i don't want them to think na i am just making paramdam coz i need some comfort or something. there are friends who understands me naman specially julia 🥺 i super miss her. i miss my friends in philippines. i know i said i am not gonna visit philippines yet until i get my pr visa. but i think i will next year hehe coz my former work friends are organizing our get together travel. also i am planning on getting a boob job din kasi this december or january next year hngggg
speaking of, i will be needing money for that boob job so i have to really be cautious on my spendings hayyyy i am so magastos my goodnesss.. i have to stop relying on uber! it is where most of my money goes. hngggg i am not really a morning person kasi so it is really a miracle that i am working in a cafe. but yeahhhh.. i have to save money for it. i have been really dreaming of having that done for a really really long time.
what else should i kwento pa ba?
maybe tomorrow naman.. i gotta sleep pa coz i have a practical class tomorrow.
ciao.

Just a Dream - Mason Mount
For the last few months, my sleep had been frequently disturbed by night terrors. And they weren't just some stupid ones that a young child might have, they were brewed up from pure, irrational fears. Often they would be about my boyfriend leaving me, or family and friends being involved in freak accidents. Every night, I would wake up kicking and thrashing in bed next to my boyfriend. After the fourth night in a row, I decided to sleep on the couch. I'd make excuses every night. Usually it was the same one.
"Mase, I'll just finish this episode," I'd tell him. But it was never just one episode, and the never ended with me sleeping beside him in our shared bed. Mason would offer to watch the end of the episode with me, or wait up for me, but I insisted upon him going without me. And so, I'd come up with more excuses as for why he shouldn't wait for me.
"You've got training tomorrow, you need your sleep or the Gaffer will have your head." He'd solemnly nod, knowing I was right, but still not understanding why I didn't seem to want to sleep in a bed with him anymore. I desperately wanted to tell him that it wasn't his fault, but I didn't want to have to talk about what was going on in my head, or have to explain why I'd woke him up, kicking. So I just left it, and as the months passed by, I could feel us becoming more and more distant with each other. It hurt, and I could tell it was hurting Mason too. The lack of affection and intimacy between us was clearly damaging. And every morning when he walked into the living room, looking for me, I'd hear him sigh, his face looking dishevelled as I pretended to sleep.
"Baby come to bed. Pleaseee?" Mason whined.
"Let me just finish this episode and I promise I'll come to bed with you," That was dangerous. Sure, I'd been in a surprisingly good mood today, actually achieving a night of no nightmares yesterday. Maybe I'd be able to push myself into actually going through with the promise this time. But I know that I've made that promise many a time and every time I break it. And I also know that Mason won't be expecting me to keep it tonight.
"Why do you even like this anyway? It's just a bunch of shirtless men smoking weed and trying to find some sunken ship,"
"Jealous?" I tease.
"As if," he defends," Plus, I know that I'm the only one who gets to see you shirtless." He moves his hand under my top, but I playfully swat him away. I actually allow for Mason to wait up and watch the end of the episode with me. Step in the right direction, I guess?
"Baby?"
"Hmmm?"
"You coming to bed?" Mason asks as he begins to stand up.
"Yup, coming now," I say, turning the TV off and moving from where I was comfortably sat on the sofa.
"Really!?" he asks. The excitement in his voice causes my heart to break, it's like I can actually feeling it slowly shattering into a million pieces. The fact that he's been starved of so much love and affection , causing him to be excited for me to simply just sleep in the same bed as him, is upsetting. And I'll never forgive myself for letting him feel unloved like I have.
The second we're in bed, lying next to each other, Mason pulls my body to his. It's like he doesn't trust me to not get up in the middle of the night and return to the couch. And I'm hit yet again with another pang of guilt.
"Night, Mase,"
"Night, baby,"
"I love you," I choke out trying not to cry as he tightens his grip, adamant that you won't leave him alone in the bed again.
"I love you too,"
"We're done,"
"What..? Mase... what..?"
"We barely talk anymore, you can't even sleep in the same bed as me, and you haven't for months! I can't keep pretending that this is all going to be sorted out eventually, I can't keep pretending that this isn't hurting me. I just... I just can't do this anymore Y/N."
It was stupid of me to believe that I could go a second night without any nightmares. This one wasn't as bad as my usual ones, I just let out a silent cry before turning round to check that Mason was in fact still beside me. But when I turned around, I wasn't met with a peaceful-looking, sleeping Mason, I was staring right into the of eyes an concerned-looking, very much awake Mason.
"Baby, what's wrong,"
"It's nothing, Mase, just go back to sleep,"
"You're crying, it's not nothing,"
"I said, just leave it,"
"Fine," he replies with a huff pulling me back into him.
"Mase! Mase! Mase, I need you to wake up! Please!" I scream at Mason's body. He's covered in his own blood and looking lifeless. I look a few meters in front of us, a totalled car, our car. There's a trail of blood leading from it, up to where we both currently lay.
"Mase... Mason! Please just wake up! I need you!" I scream as I notice he's not breathing.
It's just a dream, it's just a dream.
"Someone help me! Someone help me, please!" I continue screaming. As much as I try to affirm to myself that this isn't real, it's not really happening, it doesn't work. I don't know what's dream and what's reality anymore.
"Baby... Y/n/n... Wake up, baby, it's just a dream. It's only a dream," Mason says softly, shaking me lightly in an attempt to wake me from the torturous slumber I had just been in. My forehead is dripping with a cold sweat, my whole body is shaking with anxiety and just as I had been in my dream, I was crying and screaming hysterically. I was thrashing against Mason's chest uncontrollably as he tried to comfort my inconsolable self.
"I'm here, Y/N. I'm here, and I'm not leaving. Not now, not ever. You hear me?"
After about twenty minutes of Mason sat playing with my hair soothingly, whispering assurances in my ear, I had calmed down.
"You're alright, we're alright, I'm safe,"
"I'm okay, Mase, I'm fine,"
"Y/n/n, please, you need to talk to me. I'm worried about you," And so it all spilled out. The sleeping problems, the terrifying nightmares and what they consisted of, and how that was why I hadn't been sleeping with him.
"Am I okay to hug you, or do you want some space?" Mason checks. But I don't say anything, just throw myself into his arms. He cuddles into me, whispering sweet nothings and running a finger up and down my arm and peppering my whole face with kisses, until I'm lulled back into a calm and peaceful sleep. This time, feeling safe, knowing that my boy was right beside me, stopping the night terrors from intruding once more.
