the way garak looks at bashir as he puts all the clues together at the end of cardassians. the sheer 'look at that little twink go (affectionate, sexual overtones)' energy he manages to convey in the background there as bashir passionately does the presentation of their group project that garak did 80% of the actual work on. immaculate

accent game!
i saw this tag game going around on the landoscar side of my dash in which people share their accents, and i thought it was SO FREAKING COOL, because i always love to hear what my mutuals sound like. so even though i haven't been tagged at all, i'm shamelessly stealing it and bringing it over to the piarles side of tumblr so we can join in the fun!
the idea of the game is that you make a voice recording in which you answer the following questions. so let's do it! apologies for my absolute inability to keep anything concise, but if you've ever wanted to hear what i sound like saying random words, here's your chance!
Your name and username.
Where you’re from.
Pronounce the following words: aunt, roof, route, theater, iron, salmon, caramel, fire, water, New Orleans, Pecan, both, again, probably, Alabama, lawyer, coupon, mayonnaise, pajamas, caught, naturally, aluminum, GIF, Tumblr, Crackerjack, doorknob, envelope.
What is a bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
Choose a book and read a passage from it.
Do you think you have an accent?
Would you rather be a wizard or a vampire?
Do you know anyone on Tumblr in real life?
Name your favorite driver and your favorite team :)
End audio post by saying any THREE words you want.
i'm not going to tag anyone, because i know that not everyone is comfortable with putting their voice on the internet - but if you are comfortable with that and you'd like to share, please tag me when you do!! i'd love to hear your voice too <3333

on another story gone from their world
Jaye woke up with a start. A dream? Or something more... She pushed herself up out of her bed. After waking up from her last "hibernation," Magpie - her world's Magpie - had gone above & beyond in ensuring that she could live comfortably in a new apartment in the Refuge, slowly helping her with a new book collection & even helping her get reconnected with the world (& worlds... she was still coming to grips with that) with a new phone. For months since she'd woken up, she'd been afraid to reach out, afraid that her old friends would either be gone or treat her differently now. But this was something that couldn't be ignored. Cedric & her World Machine had made sure she wouldn't deteriorate further, & yet here she was, having strange, almost prophetic dreams again. The sky had filled with the Sun, yet that Sun had been a dark & foreboding clockface. Lines of an incomplete poem danced in her brain, pieces of a larger puzzle that she wanted, no, NEEDED to solve. The urgency she felt in the dream demanded that. Scrolling through her phone as she was wont to do on waking, a strange pattern began to emerge. Others that had strange dreams of a similar nature, & a central Watcher-like figure. Jaye brushed her chopped hair out of her eyes & reached for her cane. Wheeling herself over to her desk, she opened the old, patched-together laptop, put on her headphones, & began to work. A corkboard behind her desk would serve to collect her discoveries, & her laptop would enable her to reach out to the others. And this time, she HAD to reach out... Soundtrack: the in-game version of Someplace I Know

The Nanami fangirls will get you for that Clari lol. (Honestly I've never ever understood the Nanami hype, his tie and glasses are hideous and he seems like he'd be really boring to date??)
HAHAHAHA ooooh anon u and i are one and the same!!! i mean, i get why people are attracted to him—i honestly and genuinely think he would take SUCH amazing care of you and he’d love the everlasting hell outta you and he’d just be such a good, nice, healthy partner. so he’d be great to date in real life and has ideal qualities i believe one should look for in a partner, and that can be super comforting! like i feel that way about mitsuya, for example.
BUT!!! i’m not often interested in writing about healthy relationships!!! 97% of the time i wanna write the most sadistic, deranged, obsessive stuff and dig into mentally ill characters etc etc etc so!!! there’s that, too, LMAO

Starter for @chazingrainbows
Molly held tightly onto her little basket. She was feeling a little nervous.
She was standing in front of a big house.
The other day, she had seen a little girl in the yard. And the girl was playing with the loveliest, friendliest looking ragdolls she had ever seen! Molly felt like she just HAD to go meet them someday.
And today the girl and her family seemed to be somewhere else, so it was the perfect chance for Molly.
She took a deep breath, climbed up on the windowsill and knocked into the window.

Not Your Fault
Tumblr media
Prompt: Maybe it came from your own self-doubt. Or, maybe it stemmed from your parents and their need to overdo it with the scolding. Hell, maybe it was just something often reiterated to you by strangers. But, for as long as you could remember, things never seemed to go your way. More accurately, things never seemed to go right because of you. And it was only natural that you suffered the consequences of your own actions...
Even if it had to be by your own hand...

'Snap'
. . .
'Snap'
You were stuck. This was the third time this had happened to you this week. On your conclusion, no less; the very last paragraph of your essay. You'd sit down, open up your Google document, read over your own writing for the zillionth time until you got to where you had left off...
And then, with intention to finish it up, write the last few sentences or so, you'd urge yourself to get right to work. Just start writing. Get it done. Do it.
And yet, you just... couldn't. Writers' block had now become your mortal enemy, and you'd do anything to get rid of it. Because if you didn't, it'd leave you with nothing to turn in. If you didn't have a final paper to turn in, you'd automatically fail this English class.
If you failed this English class, you wouldn't graduate in the Spring. If you didn't graduate, you wouldn't be allowed to cross that stage and get your diploma. If you didn't get your diploma, your parents would surely be more than disappointed. In you, in themselves for actually thinking you could do it...
You'd have to repeat the school year, do it all over again, just to circle right back to this final English paper. And again, you'd get stuck in your own head, fighting a mental block you couldn't even defeat right now. The cycle would go on, and natrually, it'd be your own doing. Or rather, you own undoing.
Your own fault. All because you can't write a conclusion.
'Snap'
"Did you hear me?"
Your head whipped up in a flurry, letting go of the hair tie pulling against your wrist to create one final 'Snap'. An accidental one, which gained a short wince out of you at its unexpected sting before you could even speak.
The boy in front of you took this as a sign that you were distracted, happy to repeat himself while he closed his laptop in order to see you better.
"I said, 'Do you wanna go to (Favorite Fast-Food) after school?'."
"Oh." You hummed, your eyes shifting away from his chocolate brown ones and back to your screen. At its mention, you were suddenly craving (F/FF). But you also knew better than to let yourself get distracted when you didn't have to. What was most important was this essay, and if you procrastinated any longer, you'd surely miss the due date, and-
"I'll pay." Freddy quickly added, sensing your hesitancy from his own seat before lighting up even further at your scoff. A dismissive one, sure, but it came with a smile he found hard to hate; elated that he had been the cause.
"Please, you can barely afford to get your lunch every day."
"See, m'kay, that's where you're wrong, right?" Freddy began, speed-talking as per usual, which always caused your smile to grow. "(Y/N), I saved up for a whole week so I can literally get us whatever. Those silly little drinks you like? Done. Or-or fries, or whatever? Done. I will buy you the whole menu, try me."
"Okay, okay, I get it." You laughed, knowing he had already convinced you. Persuaded, sure...
...And yet...
"I would, Freds, really. But, I don't think I should."
His head tipped to the side in confusion, curls falling with which almost caused an 'aww' to leave your lips. He stared, doe-eyed, expecting his answer because you denying (F/FF) was a first. It was a bit surprising, but your reasoning, once given, was valid.
"I need to get this paper done. Tonight. If I don't, I'll just...worry about it forever, and I won't be able to focus. Another time?"
He smiled at your compromise, the heel of his foot bouncing up and down in his seat as if he just couldn't wait for whenever "another time" would be. Hopefully soon, sending about a thousand nods your way before speaking.
"Yeah, sure, no problem!"
The bell rung, students around you rushing to pack their things away now that they were no longer confined to the hell that was Fawcett Central. You did the same, not that you were exactly excited to return to your own home. Your hopes lied in the assumption that you'd be able to rush quickly to your room. Not to be bothered for the rest of the night as you finished up your work.
"But like, are you sure, though?"
You tossed your head back, a joking groan escaping your lips as the two of you squoze yourselves between people in the hallways. And still, he went on in hopes to further convince you because, as it turned out, the boy had very little patience to wait until "another time." Something that he wasn't even sure would come.
Plus, as one would expect, he was only following his brother's advice...
"If you really wanna spend time with her, just go for it. And don't let her flake out or play hard to get. It'll show her you're persistent, and girls usually like that type of stuff. Let's them know you care."
And of course Freddy cared about you! So...
"I'm just sayin'! It'd be fun, and y'know, maybe you need a break."
"Freddy..."
"Plus...!" He interjected before you could go on. "When have I ever steered you wrong?"
"H-"
"And don't say gym class, or the Winter Carnival, or that one time with the Breyers, or that other time with the Breyers, or the glitter bomb, or...The Incident™..." He listed off with haste, all different scenarios/times where he had most definitely steered you wrong.
"Those were all just horribly timed coincidences that have nothing to do with how I operate."
"Oh, is that so?" You challenged with an amused giggle, Freddy sending you an assertive smirk right back.
"Very much so."
"And how are you so sure of that?"
"Come with me," he taunted lightly, effortlessly cycling the conversation right back to his initial goal. "Let me whisk you away, (N/N)... and you'll find out."
You couldn't help but shake your head at the dork in front of you, trying your very hardest to hold in a flattered smile at his antics. Walking backward down the stone steps as if he wasn't one off-balanced wobble away from tipping over. Sending you pleading eyes and a goofy grin along with the use of a nickname.
With the break of your own toothy smile, he knew he had won you over before you even had to say anything.
"Fine, fine...I'll go."
"Yes, yes, yes-yes-yes, I love it when you agree with me!"
"But just tonight!" You reminded, pointing an index finger that he simply grabbed, interlocking his own with it. "I'm off limits tomorrow. And Sunday!"
"Yeah, sure, you got it. You have the rest of the weekend left to do..." He waved his free hand around wildly, looking for the words he never found before finishing.
"I dunno, whatever it is you do."
"Thank god." You sighed half-jokingly, earning you a laugh you never got tired of.
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
You were lucky to hear more of it, even if it wasn't in person. You reminded yourself of that over and over again as you walked home. Freddy insistent on the fact that even though he couldn't be there to walk you home himself, he'd at least stay on the phone with you until he knew you were safe.
But anyhow, you were repetitive on the fact that you had a good time, that you were lucky to listen to Freddy ramble on and on about tonight's prior festivities because of the simple fact that it had been keeping you distracted. Away from the troubling thoughts of guilt for not listening to your past self. Sure, you had a great time, but at what cost?
A waste of time to get your work done? No. No, no matter. It didn't matter now. You had done it, you had gone out and had a great time with your best friend. Now it was time to wind down and focus, return home and get your work done. You could still rely on yourself.
"Hey, it's late, I gotta go, Freds." You excused once your place had come into view.
"You make it home safe?" He double-checked, and you almost nodded, forgetting he wasn't physically there with you.
"Yeah, which is why I gotta go, dude."
"Alright, right, you're super duper busy, so I can't bother ya' anymore." He sighed through his words, smiling once he heard your quiet giggle on the other side of the line along with the jingle of your keys.
"I'll check on you Sunday."
"Wha-? Freddy, n-"
"Bye!"
And the line went dead, leaving you to purse your lips and scoff. It was a wonder you liked him, let alone had a whole crush on him, when he often times pushed at your boundaries. But, nonetheless, you were simply happy to know him at all, and-
No. No, focus. You were swift to set yourself straight, not wanting to get lost in your daydream-esque thoughts on the boy you'd been pining over for a couple of years now. That'd be your lamest reason yet on why you had deterred from your essay.
"(Y/N)...!!" The call of your name made you jump, erasing any thoughts you had about anything at all while attempting to pull yourself together at a reasonable speed. It ended with you anxiously tugging at the familiar blue hairtie around your wrist, not yet pulling it far enough back to release, but just enough to provide some odd comfort while your parent came tearing around the corner to your position in front of the door.
"Where have you been?" They asked, their tone laced with demand rather than actual worry as you stumbled to push out a viable excuse.
"I...was out with my friend, I just lost track of time."
"Mm." They hummed, never really truly satisfied with any answer you might've given as they looked you up and down. "I don't like you staying out so late, you know better. You didn't even call. You knew you had chores to do today."
"Sorry..." You mumbled, subjected back to the looming silence before they gave a roll of their eyes and sighed.
"Well, did you eat?"
"Yeah, I had (F/FF)."
"...Alright."
And that was that, your parent leaving you to yourself once again as you gratefully made the choice to head straight for your room. It was just as you left it when you had left for school early this Friday morning, which meant you had a bit of cleaning to do.
But surely, you could push that task back until later. It could always be done the moment you typed up the rest of your final paper. Without second thought, you sat on your bed and pulled open your laptop, as well as gathering any notes you might've needed together before reading over what's been typed so far.
. . .
You rubbed at your eyes until you were satisfied, your hands moving to slide above and push back your hair. As if you were ridding yourself of the exhaustion.
"Foucs, focus, focus..." You commanded yourself, repeating the word over and over again in your mind. Your fingers wandering back down to your wrist.
'Focus, focus, focus, focus...'
'Snap'
'Just focus...just write something. Just write a sentence. A word...'
'Snap'
"Ohh my goshhh..." You groaned under your breath.
'Snap'
Your (E/C) eyes wandered towards the bottom right corner of your screen, grazing over the time as if you were wasting it. Well, technically, you were. But you weren't at the same time, seeing as only a few minutes had passed since you've sat.
10:23p.m.
"Whatever, just...write." You commanded yourself further.
. . .
When your eyes wandered back to the time once more, you were left to fight the lump forming in the back of your throat.
1:04a.m.
So much time had passed, and not a single thing had been typed. You wanted to be mad at yourself but couldn't. You kept checking your phone, you kept talking to yourself, you just had to turn on the TV for "background noise"...
It looked like you'd be pulling an all-nighter this evening.
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
You woke up feeling disoriented. Peaceful, sure, but only because your mind was still clouded with sleep, which left you to struggle at taking in your surroundings and the reason why your body ached.
In about another five seconds, all your memories had returned to you, and you now had the answers to all of your questions. You had fallen asleep, even after you had convinced yourself that you were going to pull an all-nighter. Even more disappointing, having fallen asleep at such an awkward angle left you with a crick in your neck that you couldn't sooth with a simple massage right away.
And to your dismay, your laptop displayed the essay that you very clearly hadn't touched. That you had fallen asleep on. You wanted nothing more than for it to finish itself at this point, but you knew better than to actually believe that would happen. Wishful thinking on top of all of the other worries you had swarming your mind. Just to set yourself straight, hastily reminding yourself you now had only the rest of today and tomorrow to finish it, you allowed yourself to stretch and shake away the rest of your drowsyness.
"What...?" You murmured the moment your finger had grazed over the touchpad, reading over the pop-up window in the middle of the screen.
You read it again in disbelief.
And then again, your anger rising at the key words; 'Remaining batter life' 'charging cable' '7%' '10 minutes of power'.
"No, no, no..." You whined, practically throwing yourself out of the bed. Your notes scattered everywhere, but you couldn't bring yourself to care as you desperately searched for the charger to your laptop. When you realized, after dumping out all of your backpack's contents onto the floor, that it wasn't even in there, you grew even more panicked, if possible. If not there, where?
Scouring your room for any sign of the black cord began to accumulate a bigger mess than had already been evident, but you found it worth it when you had finally spotted it under your desk, tangled with a bunch if other loose wires and cords which left you with the tedious work of untangling them.
By the time you had finished, your room an even bigger mess and your mind swarming with curses and exasperation, you had returned to your laptop a second too late. The screen was black and the power button on the top left corner refused to light back up, no matter how many times you pressed it until you finally had to accept the fact that it had officially died. It was only when you were mid-way through putting it on the charger and plugging it into the outlet when you also realized this meant your paper may have not been saved.
You couldn't even fathom the words to bring out of your throat in this instant, angry and inaduble grumbles leaving in their place as you fought the lump in your throat. It seemed you had just woken up and already couldn't catch a break, not that you really had anyone else to blame but yourself.
If you had just stayed up and done your work like you were supposed to instead of sitting there looking at the screen until you fell asleep, this wouldn't be happening to you right now.
"Ughh, stupid, stupid..." You berated yourself, tugging at the blue hair tie and letting it snap back consecutively. It didn't bring you any comfort, but you were convinced it was an act that helped you think better, or faster. And, like usual, it seemed to work as your (E/C) eyes glanced over to your phone.
It sat on the edge of your desk, certainly not dead when the charger was connected into it. You could quickly download Google docs and pray that it had auto-saved before your computer died, and if so, you could continue writing on your phone. You-
"Hey..."
Your head whipped around at the sound of your parent entering your room, now wanting nothing more than to roll your eyes the moment they gave a look of disgust at not just the state of your room, but your person as well.
Your clothes from last night were still disheveled, your hair more than likely a mess, and surely, the bags under your eyes weren't any more flattering.
"...You need to clean this room up, it's always such a mess in here. And you still didn't do your chores from last night, so when you're done, you need to get on that."
"Yeah, I know, I-"
"Don't tell me you know. Otherwise, it'd be done. Now get started so that we can leave."
Your sigh halted, words you couldn't quite shuffle in the right order escaping your lips in distressed stammers upon hearing the last sentence.
Leave? Leave where? You couldn't leave!
"I can't- Where are-? I have to write this essay, it's due Monday, I don't-..."
"(Y/N)..." They spoke your name through a groan, already brushing off what, to them, was just excuses. "I don't have the time to argue with you about this right now. We have errands to run, and it's bad enough that now we have to wait on you."
You wanted to apologize or... at least explain how the circumstances weren't exactly your fault. Not entirely...
Weren't they?
But it didn't matter. The words got stuck once again and your parent had left, meaning that your only hope of not letting this Saturday go to waste was to try and clean as fast as possible and do your work in the car considering you were stuck using your phone.
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
'Well, that was a bust...' You thought, a scowl etched onto your face as though the expression were permanent. To say you were irriated would be the understatement of the century. Even more so when you couldn't place that agitation and blame onto anyone else but yourself.
If you hadn't procrastinated for so long, you wouldn't have an essay that decided your future to work on. If you didn't have an essay to work on, you wouldn't have felt so sullen about accepting Freddy's request to basically blow it off. If you hadn't accepted his request, you would've gotten home sooner to clean and do your chores. If you had done them sooner, you would've had more time to write, and maybe, just maybe, you wouldn't have fallen asleep so easily.
And then these errands would mean nothing to you other than a family outing because your work would be done, and you'd have nothing to worry about. But instead, and because of your incompetence, here you were trying your best to dodge and weave through crowds of other people doing their shopping. Trying your very hardest to type and walk in order to keep up with your family.
"I don't understand why you're moving so slow..." Your parent scolded lightly, urging you to do what you were already trying to do. Only your eyes lifted from the screen, just for a moment to shoot off a glare before returning to your screen and typing furiously.
Sure, your writers' block had finally cleared. But you could only ever get in a few words every couple of minutes before you had to look up to dodge. Or, be interrupted by your family, a sibling. An annoying one, at that...
"Yeah, weren't you just here yesterday with your boyyyyfrieeeend~?" They teased, leaving you to grumble.
"He's not my boyfriend. And yeah, but we went straight to (F/R) and ate at the food court, we weren't shopping."
Your sibling rolled their eyes.
"Whatever, just saying...it should be easier for you to keep up."
"(Y/N)?!"
Speak of the devil, you and your entire immediate family's heads whipping up at the obnoxiously loud call of your name. Your eyes searched high and low, all around until they landed on that familiar head of curls and the silver of a crutch.
"Oh, hi..." You awkwardly greeted, not even loud enough for him to hear it as he approached gleefully. Normally, at the presence of your family, you'd try and usher him away. Give him the hint not to intervene and make it awkward for everyone, but mostly you. But, seeing as your family hadn't even bothered to slow down, you figured a brief conversation wouldn't hurt.
Plus, upon noticing a couple of his siblings and Rosa behind him, you didn't want to come off as brash or rude.
"I thought you said you were gonna be busy?"
The question almost took you by surprise, but upon recalling last Friday, you realized that was pretty much what you had told him.
"I am! I just...I got caught up, it's weird..."
Sensing this wasn't enough of an answer or anything excusable, you spoke further. It had inevitably dug yourself a deeper hole, his brow raising in question.
"My parents, they're just...they wanted me to go shopping with them."
"Your...parents...?"
Oh, right...they walked off....
"Ye-Yeah, they are- They were here, but I lost track of them, so..."
You were aware of how unconvincing you sounded, letting a quiet sigh escape you before checking your phone. Your essay was still intact, and- Oh! That's a good word, 'intact'... You could do something with that, let's just...add it to the conclusion...and...
What you couldn't sense was how disinterested you looked to Freddy, the boy looking back to Billy for any type of further advice. All the brunette could do was shrug from afar, attempting to entertain Rosa, who wasn't at all paying attention to the events.
Hey, mother's got to shop🤷🏽‍♀️.
Either way, to him, it looked as though you were trying your hardest to avoid him. Freddy could feel his chest tighten at just the thought, wondering why that could possibly ever be the case. Why you had become so distant suddenly. And now, you'd barely even look at him?
"So, uh...what's the deal? Did I say something you didn't like?"
"Huh?"
You hadn't looked up, leaving him to reluctantly fill in the blank for you.
"...The other night. When we went out. On that date..."
Now, this caught your attention. Your head cocked back, and your brows knitted incredulously.
"Date? That wasn't a date, I thought we were just hanging out."
'...Was...that a date?' You thought swiftly when you heard the words leave you own mouth, having not entertained such an idea before. But, now that Freddy had said something-
"(Y/N), I literally took you to your favorite place and paid for everything. And then we went to the arcade, and got milkshakes, and...well, I was gonna walk you home, but that didn't work out, as you know, since...you were there..."
"Oh."
You hadn't a clue of what to say, and the longer the silence hung over you two, the more worried you grew. Was that really a date? He didn't technically ask you out to date. He said he wanted to hang out. Maybe it was implied in his tone, and you missed it because you had been so focused on your essay.
But certainly, wasn't your essay tons more important than any date or whatever? If you hadn't gone, you would've had the whole weekend to go out on a date. Right?
Also, where the hell had your family gone? Did they even stop to think that you could really use an out right now? You had no idea what to say!
"Well, to be honest, I really shouldn't have gone at all if you think about it..."
So, you spoke without thinking. And immediately, you could tell that was the wrong answer, the words even stinging your own self the second they came out. Freddy's hurt expressions stinging even more as you lowered your phone.
"But you have time to be out and about with your 'parents'?" Why did he say parents like that? Did he not believe you? "Okay, cool. Awesome."
"I am! Was! They're here, I didn't have a choice, they made me come." You explained hastily. "Plus, I am busy. This paper is super important for me to get done, you know that."
"Yeah, I do. I also know that it was assigned months ago... why would you be doing it now, last minute?"
Holy shit... he really didn't believe you...
But it's not like you wanted to admit you had stupidly put it off for so long, either...
"Freddy..." You sighed, tossing your arms in uncertainty of what to say next. All you had was excuses. "...I didn't mean it. What I said. I'm just-"
"-Busy, yeah, I know."
More tense silence filled with the idea that you were losing him. Not only as a crush, but as your established friend as well. And god, were you trying desperately to mend it before it broke. You clicked your phone off, shoving it into your pocket completely out of sight.
"We can walk around right now if you want. Just until I have to leave?"
"Nah."
Ouch.
"I... don't want to walk on my leg more than I have to. See you around, (Y/N)."
. . .
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
... 'Snap'!
"Stop doing that, it's annoying."
And you did, for a mere moment just to give a side eye towards your sibling before continuing.
Pull... 'Snap'!
Pull... 'Snap!
P u l l. . . 'SNAP'!
"Ow..." you winced.
"Would you stop it?"
"Shut up...!"
"Hey...!" The warning yell of one of your parents stopped the bickering and the rubber band pulling, but it didn't make you want to cry any less.
"Cool it back there. This is supposed to be a nice family outing..."
If anything, it made you want to cry more.
"Well, I didn't want to even be here, so..." You mumbled.
And it was true, you didn't, having wished you had protested more earlier. Then maybe your essay would be done by now. And maybe Freddy would still be your friend...
You cried.
Well, not in the car. But you did the second you finally arrived back home, to the haven and privacy of your room to let it all out. Frustrated and defeated, your wrist still stinging and itching with welts you knew the hair tie snapping would create. But you didn't care, at least, not about the last bit. It was stress relieving, so at least it counted for something good. It was done with good intent, and wasn't that all that mattered? Wasn't that enough?
Shouldn't that be enough for Freddy? He was- No, he is your best friend. And sure, you might've unintentionally pushed him away, but it was for a greater good. You were sure. Blocked him out with a good intention, if... that even existed. So, with such logic, apologizing and molding things back to normal should be a simple task, yes?
Yes, good. Perfect. That made it easy to set aside for a later moment, hastily wiping your tears and taking in small breaths before setting yourself at your desk. Not the bed, because you would not be falling asleep this time. You would write, write wrute, type, type, type until you were done. And that's final.
. . .
There it was again. That blocking feeling. But it came back different this time, unusual and almost unfamiliar to the normal writers' block.
Freddy. Freddy. Freddy.
That's what it was. That's all it was. The words you had said, his face twisted in disappointment and sadness running through your mind over and over again. How you had hurt him.
Ugh, you couldn't do this.
9:30p.m.
You couldn't bear it. And, pathetic enough, you couldn't even bring yourself to text him. To let him know it was all your fault. To even just apologize.
You went to bed.
You'd cram all of your needed tasks in tomorrow with a fresh, clear mind...
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
This time, you had awoken to complete silence. And way later than last time, which you supposed was needed due to the fatigue of Friday through Saturday's events...
Upon doing some further snooping around the house, you had gathered the fact your family had gone out without you this time. And albeit you couldn't help but feel a little hurt, nobody having even attempted to wake you let alone invite you, you knew it was overall in your best interest.
You had a conclusion to write. After an afternoon breakfast and a fresh pair of comfy clothing, you situated yourself right back at your desk. Your laptop fully charged. Any and all disturbances out of sight, therefore out of mind. And eventually, after a good stare at the words already there, at the florescent blue light of the screen, the creative juices began to flow. You were off...
The blessing of finally being able to write lasted for only a few more hours, the sun setting and the noise of the city outside becoming evident as you leaned back in your seat for a break. A good stretch and rub of the eyes, a well-deserved swallow or two of water...
'Bonk-Bonk-Bonk'
Your brows knitted, lips unconsciously forming a pout at the consistent sound against your window. It confused you, the noise something you hadn't heard in a while. Something you only ever heard when expecting-
"Oh my god, Freddy...!" You gasped, having walked over and cautiously slid open your window. The sight of him scared you enough to practically jump back as he came tumbling onto your floor. A fall that worried you, of course, but neither of you could focus on that given a mere, lazy collapse to the ground seemed like nothing compared to the rest of his injuries.
"Oh my god, Freddy..." You repeated in utter dismay, covering your mouth with your palm for maybe a split second before you were immediately stooped by his side in order to help him sit up.
"What happened, why are-? Oh my god, there's so much bl-"
"-I'm okay, I'm okay..." He reassured quietly, moving his hand up and down as if to say, "Calm down." Not that it did any good, your eyes scanning over each and every cut and/or bruise you could find before delivering your final questions.
"What are you doing here? You...need a doctor or-or something, how did this even happen?"
He laughed, almost as if there were something funny that you didn't get. Some twisted inside joke. Twisted, because it left him...well... like this.
"Being a superhero is harder than it looks, (N/N)..."
A pause.
"Are you delirious or something? I- Y'know what? Okay, I-... Stay there, don't move."
As if he'd even try. He watched as you jogged out of your room, able to hear you rummaging around in your bathroom for medical aid while his brown eyes scanned your room. It seemed to have remained in the same state as when he last saw it; neat and tidy, minus a few distraught blankets and cords. He traced a thick, gray one up to your desk, noticing it was plugged into your still on and running laptop.
His brows furrowed. He could see the small words, even from his place on the floor by your window and almost wanted to slap himself.
You really were finishing up an essay. The easy, if anything. Instead, he chuckled. Of course you waited until the last second to do it. How (Y/N) of you.
He had to fight off his blush (and a startled jump) when you came rushing back into the room, arms filled with supplies and a worried expression etched onto your face.
"We didn't have a lot, but I really don't want your cuts to get infected..." He heard you mumble, shakily pouring bits of alcohol onto a cleaning pad.
"It's gonna sting..." You warned, Freddy nodding as fast as he could and sending you the wave of a hand, already knowing and preparing himself for the sensation. And when it came, he bit his lip to hold back what would've been squeak coming from his throat.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..." You soothed through whispers, wrapping and/or bandaging as quickly yet accurately as you could. "You really should've gone to the E.R., Freddy, I can't-...I feel-...I can only do so much."
"Geez, you really don't want me around much, huh?" He joked, but even you could see the way it held some truth as your actions slowed, looking into his eyes in hopes he saw the truth in yours.
And if not, you'd damn sure say it.
"Freddy, please..." It was almost a scoff, but your tone had dwindled into something much more sincere. "Of course I want you around. I always want you around, you-. . . You make me happy, especially when a lot of things don't. Okay?"
He seemed to be mulling your words over, the boy shuffling every now and again at any certain pain that felt a little too sharp, or when you squoze a bruise a bit too hard.
"I-... It just doesn't feel that way, I guess. Sometimes, I wonder if you even like me." Again, he laughed as though he had spewed a funny joke. You couldn't return it, simply shocked at such a theory before quickly debunking it.
"I like you a lot!!"
. . .
"Sorry, that was...loud." You apologized, earning you another laugh at such sudden passion. "But I do like you, why wouldn't I? I just...had a lot on my plate recently, and I didn't know how to handle it. Especially telling you, so I just...I dunno, I guess I pushed you out, hoping you'd just... know."
Freddy smiled, one that exuded comfort and understanding before pushing your hand to the side so he was able to look at you properly. To hold your cheek in the palm of his hand and admire your face, watching at how you didn't even fight to melt into his touch.
"I'm sorry." He apologized. "I'm sorry that I didn't understand. I'm your friend, so, it's kind of the one job I had and I failed... but, I don't want you to ever feel like you can't talk to me. Or that I won't help you when things get difficult."
And for an extra touch, he gave your hand a squeeze of reassurance. The same hand which held the pad of alcohol in it. You hadn't noticed it when droplets went rushing down your hand and to your wrist, too caught up in the moment. All too ready to express your gratitude and mutual appreciation for him.
But you sure as hell noticed it when it stung you. Burned you, felt more like it, leaving you to let out more winces and whimpers than Freddy had during the cleaning off all of his injuries combined.
"Woah, hey, what's up? You okay?"
"Yeah, just-"
You were fast to yank your hand away, squeezing the sleeve of your sweater around your wrist in an attempt to aid the stinging feeling you were experiencing. This confused Freddy. Enough so to where he forced himself to fully sit up so he could properly inspect whatever was causing you any pain. It was bad enough that he had left you emotionally distraught and that he now needed you to take time off from your work just to help him heal from his recklessness...
The least he could do was return the favor of medical help.
"Here, lemme' see."
You didn't even get to go, "No!" yanking your wrist away from his gentle hold once again in a flurry of panic and unexpectedness.
"What is it? Are you okay?"
You eyes were wide and you didn't understand why you felt such dread. A fear of him seeing what you had never shown anyone, even though it had never occurred to you to be upset about someone finding out before.
Er...not that you were hiding it. Were you?
"It's...nothing, I'm fine. Just let me finish cleaning you up so I can-"
"Hey..." Freddy stopped your swift movements, his heart pounding at just the mere thought of you hiding anymore pain from him. Had someone done something to you? If so, he should've been the one protecting you. It was now his turn to experience the feeling of anxiety swelling in his chest.
"You can tell me, it's alright. I won't be upset, just... talk to me. Okay? Trust me."
And you did. You didn't know if it was his words or the tone laced within them. Whether you were just tired of fighting it or being upset with him. Or him being upset with you. Tired of pushing him away and... who knows? Maybe if he knew, then you could stop...
You slowly inched your arm in his direction, visibly shaking from both the sting of the remaining alcohol and the piling nerves as he steadily bunched up your sleeve.
At first, there was no expression. No words, no nothing. Was he even processing what he was seeing? The red, fine-lined welts up and down your wrist and forearm, some older and healing, some... very fresh. It made you so jarringly aware of how hard you had actually been snapping the hair tie all of this time.
"(Y/N)....what-"
"It was supposed to help." You interjected, fighting back tears you hadn't even noticed arrived. "I read this thing on this website somewhere, and I just- I- I read it, and..."
Tripping and stumbling over your words made you want to just give up all over again. And yet, even though you refused to look up to see the expression of disappointment on Freddy's face, you could feel it. And that was just enough for you to keep desperately grabbing at straws to defend your wayward actions.
"I... I used to...do worse, I was messed up. Really messed up, and it was the only thing that made me feel better. Relief, I mean, maybe not better, but-..."
You choked back a cry.
"I read this thing, and it said that a good alternative as a way to stop would be to snap a hair tie instead. It-It's less than... y'know... and it...I-...I'm sorry."
"(Y/N). . ." Freddy started his sentence with nothing more to say after the whisper of your name, watching as you couldn't help but finally burst into tears right there on the floor in front of him. It was a moment in time when he realized there was nothing much he could say or do, only wanting nothing more than for you to be okay.
"Please don't cry, it's not... it isn't your fault, (N/N)."
You couldn't pull yourself together enough to elicit proper words, wishing you could just express everything you were feeling in one go. Or at least console Freddy because that's what he came over for, after all. He needed you to be there for him, patch him up, and you couldn't even do that. Instead, things have come down to being all about you again.
Little did you know, it's not like Freddy much cared. He'd rather things be all about you and you be okay rather than no one giving you the time of day and you're suffering.
"Here, c'mere..." The boy urged, pulling you closer on his own accord when you didn't budge. "I'll clean them for you this time."
You nodded in thanks as you leaned against his chest, watching carefully through your tears as he slipped the pad of alcohol from your grip gently and began to pour some more onto it.
"And when I'm done," he continued. "There won't be a next time where I'll need to do this, 'cause we're gonna find some even better alternatives together, 'kay? Better than a hair tie."
A silence lingered in the air as you sniffled, only speaking up just before he could press the pad to your welts.
"...You mean like... like a scrunchie?"
. . .
"Pfft-!"
Freddy attempted to shield his laugh away from you, but quickly didn't bother anymore as your broken laugh joined in at your own distasteful joke.
"That's- No, you're- Oh my gosh, that's awful..." He spoke through giggles he fought to contain, even though the comment seemed to lift the both of your spirits instantly. Well, until he had to clean up your wrist...
──────────── •⚡️• ────────────
Freddy's brows furrowed when he realized the sounds of your winces and hisses were no longer to be heard, even when he'd press the damp pad to your wrist or forearm. He was about done, anyways, but he stopped to check on you and became flattered to see that you had fallen into a peaceful sleep against him.
He smiled down at you, admiring you for as long as he could while finally wrapping up your arm the same way you had his cuts and bruises. And, though he would've been more than happy to hold you like this for as long as he could (yes, even if it was on your floor), he looked around the room and was swift to realize there were still a few more tasks that needed completing.
But, most important, your essay. Considering the amount of emotional turmoil it seemed to have caused you over the weekend, he figured it should be something you no longer had to worry about. As carefully as he could without waking you, and scooted and withered his way out from under you, allowing you room to stretch out against the floor. It couldn't have been the best of comfort, but he'd address it later, making his way over to your desk and in front of your open laptop.
. . .
When you woke back up, you were alarmed to no longer feel the weight of Freddy's arms around you. It made you pop straight up, your head and eyes looking around the room like a baby bird who had just hatched until finally, they landed on the body sprawled across your bed.
You almost wish it were you, your mattress much comfier than the ground beneath you. He really just left you there on the floor and took up all of the space, pillows, and blankets, huh?
You eventually urged yourself to stand, knowing you'd have to clean up a little bit at some point and finish your paper before you could join him, but stopped right in your tracks when you noticed the change in screen.
Assignment Due: Monday, 9:30a.m.
Status: Turned In/Completed
"...What, bro...?" You muttered through a rasp of drowsiness, changing directions to head for your desk rather than the clothes and lose trinkets on your floor.
Once you were able to scroll through and read your submitted essay, which you at first thought you might've accidently turned in unfinished on accident, you skimmed over the end and were more than elated to see it had magically finished itself.
Well, okay, maybe not magically...
You looked back to Freddy's sleeping figure, grinning ear to ear at what you knew was his kind gesture. Finishing your paper for you. You'd have to thank him a thousand times in a thousand ways, as many as you could think of. Words couldn't express how grateful you were, not only for him doing your essay but for him in general. You stared at your wrapped up arm, finding yourself smiling harder than you thought possible.
"I love you." You spoke aloud, flopping onto the bed without much care, simply full of giddy for how much you adored having Freddy in your life.
"You're so-"
"...I love you, too..."
You perked up when his sleep murmurs interrupted the start of more praises, smiling down at him in both fondess and amusement as he wrapped an arm around you. Unconsciously...
He had responded to you in his sleep.
Tumblr media
Was that a lame ending, or was that the 'Boom, super profound mega happy ending' I saw it to be in my head...?
Idk yall, you tell me 'causeeee....💀✋🏽. But seriously, I really hope you liked this, I finished it up right when my sickness finally went away so, yeah💕🥴.

25. “you can be louder than that” Rating: Explicit (NSFW) Word Count: ~1240
---
Noctis’ lips stayed firm around the thickness that was in his mouth, warm cum continuing to slip down his throat as he made his Adviser lose himself. His hands were settled on Ignis’ hips, forcing him to stay still as he refused to let him move on his own accord; he was in complete control of him. His tongue pushed against the thick flesh that was staying stiff inside of his mouth, Noctis taking the cue that Ignis was not yet satisfied. 
Pulling his lips off of his cock, Noctis used his left hand to wipe at his mouth, his eyes staring right into Ignis’. “More, Ignis?” He asked, knowing that his lover wasn’t going to say no to the question. How could he, when Noctis could see he was desperate for more? And to tell the truth, so was he. As good as it had been to finally suck his lover off, it wasn’t enough. Not by a longshot. 
“Yes, Your Highness.” Ignis answered, his voice a bit breathless. His chest rose and fell as he took deep breaths, Noctis smirking as he observed his own handiwork, the limited light shining on the skull pendant that hung around Ignis’ neck. “Now?” 
“No.” Noctis teased, as he slid off the bed and got his clothes off. They had been in such a rush to get back to the Three Z’s Motel that as soon as they’d gotten in here, Noctis had practically ripped off Ignis’ clothes, needing him to be stark naked for him. He’d dropped down to his knees as soon as the door slammed shut, pawing at Ignis’ slacks as he struggled to get his cock free and into his mouth. And from there, they traveled to the bed, and the rest is history. 
Was it because they’d crossed paths with one of those wretched Mindflayers? It could be. Noctis hated them, but also was fascinated by them, as they had unique powers. Powers that he should fear, but didn’t. He knew how to handle them, even if it meant getting stuck in their tentacles for a little bit. Tentacles that stuck to his skin, touching him in a way that he could only dream of doing to another person on his own. 
Pushing those lecherous thoughts aside, he finished taking his clothes off, and saw Ignis’ mouth was slightly open, his eyes closed as he was still breathing through the aftershocks of his last orgasm. Noctis got back onto the bed, and settled himself on top of Ignis’ chest. He grabbed onto his cock and brought it to Ignis’ lips, rubbing the tip against his bottom lip, the sweetest moan leaving his lover’s mouth as he realized what Noctis was doing to him. 
“Kiss it a little, Ignis.” Noctis’ voice was low, much lower than normal. The desire to take his lover was becoming hard to ignore, as he struggled to keep his own needs in check. His eyes honed in on the way Ignis swept his tongue over the tip of his own cock, teasing him with the tiniest flick. Noctis moaned low, nodding his head as he drew Ignis’ lips back to his cock. “More, Ignis. Just a little more, please.” 
Ignis listened to his command, as he knew he would, and continued to sweetly torture his cock. Noctis moaned lower, letting his flesh sit on Ignis’ tongue for a few minutes. He rolled his hips, pushing his cock against his wet muscle, Ignis whimpering low as Noctis released his own heady moans. He pulled his hips all the way back, and watched as a string of spittle kept the two of them connected by cock and tongue, watching it snap in two as he moved further down Ignis’ body. 
“N-Noctis.” Ignis was now right where he wanted him, his hips raised up, inviting him to do terrible things to him. “I want you.” 
It always felt good to hear those words leave his lover’s mouth. Not that he had any doubt how Ignis felt about him. Having spent the better part of his life by his side, Noctis knew that Ignis was telling the truth. “I want you too, Ignis.” It was the truth. It would always be the truth. There was no one else on this planet that could make him feel the way that Ignis made him feel. 
“Then take me, Your Highness.” 
Placing the tip of his cock up against Ignis’ puckering hole, Noctis settled his hands next to Ignis’ head and slowly pushed his hips forward. It took a few seconds, but as soon as his cock slipped inside of Ignis’ body, the world at large went away, and all he could see and feel was Ignis. 
He slipped his arm underneath Ignis’ shoulders and brought his mouth to his, pushing his tongue into his mouth with a deep groan. Ignis wrapped his legs around his waist, drawing him in deeper, the two of them now clinging to one another. He groaned, feeling Ignis’ inner walls tighten around his cock. He breathed into Ignis’ mouth, recycling the air from his lungs into Ignis’, refusing to break the kiss as their bodies found the perfect rhythm. 
“More!” Ignis broke off the kiss with a soft plea, one that Noctis knew he couldn’t refuse. 
Slipping his free hand between their bodies, he found Ignis’ cock and began to stroke him, while his hips moved to a separate rhythm. Ignis was moaning quietly, but Noctis wanted to hear more. “You can be louder than that.” He waited, and heard Ignis’ moans begin to grow in intensity. They were much more robust now, driving Noctis to move faster. He knew that Ignis was close - he could feel him tightening up each time he pushed his hips forward. Jerking him off with one hand, he brought his lips to Ignis’ ear. “Go ahead and come, Ignis. I know you want to. I can feel it. You want to come, don’t you?” 
“Please!”
His thumb rubbed against the tip of Ignis’ cock, knowing that it would push him over the edge, and he felt his inner walls grip him tight as warm heat began to rush over his stroking fingers. Noctis listened to Ignis moan through his orgasm, his own very close. He pushed his hips forward, thrusting as deep as he could go, and released a deep moan, his own euphoria hitting at the right moment, his ears ringing with both the sound of his own heartbeat, and the soft moans that Ignis was now making. 
Taking a few minutes, Noctis stayed where he was, his lips now back on Ignis’, kissing him with a soft reverence that he poured his soul into. “I love you,” he whispered against Ignis’ lips. 
“Love you too, Noctis.” Ignis mumbled, clearly spent from the evening’s activities. 
He pulled out of him, grunting softly at the loss, then grabbed their towel they’d been using since staying here and cleaned Ignis up before getting himself situated. Ignis was already fast asleep as Noctis got settled next to him on the bed. 
No one would ever know how much he cared for his Adviser. To the world, he was his right hand man. And that was fine. He didn’t care. As long as Ignis remained forever his, that was all that mattered to him. For he was, and would always be, Ignis’.

I found your blog from 1 of your look books and ended up reading every ask for your story tag ... I was so impressed by each character but I got to know more about Maggie! Pls don't take it the wrong way when I say I some how hate her & also am obsessed with her (I know people get mad when you dislike a character but I think it's a compliment bc it means the writer made them complex)
First and foremost: thank you, friend!! That means a lot to me that you took the time to binge through my content and that you ended up enjoying it so much that you would stop by to tell me!!!
Second, I truly don't take it the wrong way lol. I get it, not every character is going to be liked or perceived well. You have a right to feel about them however you feel.**
**Little footnote here: I think it goes without saying but so long as your reason for disliking them isn't rooted in some kind of irrational hate like racism, transphobia/homophobia, etc., you're fine in my book!
Honestly I'm just interested in knowing what it is you dislike about her! It's a little funny because this isn't actually the first message I've received of this nature and I feel like I've shared so little about her. I know as time goes on and people learn more about her that she is more than likely going to be a controversial and polarizing figure (and far from the only one in this story). I personally have a lot of love and empathy for her as the writer and do see her more as a victim to things out of her control, but I can also admit that she went out of her way to make it hard for others to love her at times.
I will totally take it as a compliment, as you intended! I'm happy to create characters that challenge people; my only hope is that despite personal preferences, readers will still be able to understand that at the end of the day we all are imperfect and nuanced creates. Even if you don't like her, I hope you will see her (and the other controversial characters) in more than one light and extend grace (or at the very least, understanding) when it's all said and done!

fr both taylor's quants as mirrors to themself. rian Seen as so meritous and deserving and talked to and tasked with and advised and considered but apparently rian's whole thing is going "huh. wha" and having wendy's level of self-reflection (none). winston who is begrudgingly allowed to sit in his corner and ignored b/c he's undeserving so he can't really be meritous and nobody would look in that mirror b/c it's gonna be So not their reflection. while he just won't stop cassandraing and having all these insights and perception and observations nobody even asked or told him to have and is peak taylor understander and just like taylor: isn't guided by a paper-thin ego but also will take criticism / blame / mistreatment Too Much for his own good
#winston billions#the tragedy of the Lose Lose imbalanced [rian is ostensibly a character but actually a plot device] [winston: ostensible plot device but#actually a character] like yknow we could even some of this out a little. but also once again billions' handling of Gender Things....#that's (mostly) all an issue on rian's side of the Quants Who Are Also You scales#(it's also ofc still relevant re: winston; or anyone; and especially wrt Autistic Character but that's gonna be beyond billions)#(even [society if nonbinary rian] aside like. thinking you simply have one of your rare Cis Women Characters here....come on)#give rian a little more of that '''''worse''''' treatment that would let her be more Funny Little Guy as lets winston be more characterful#even transcending the [they won't give him an arc or C plot that's actually about him or anything] limitations#meanwhile again like Lmfao rian was Meant to be important but that's Only meant taking part in Other People's Plots as [device]#being a plot device is a way to use characters it's not like Inherently Bad but like lmao. rian doesn't get to do anything herself For Real#AND all the plot devicery means she's never gotten to have consistent enough motivations or like. traits to be An Character.#winston's writing is so [here he is to do little a expositing. butt of the joke. minor plot device] that he has way more room to like#just be idiosyncratic & Not have that yanked around by ''prominence''....it happens to All billions characters but it's So bad w/rian#like i can go ''this feels like it's Too Far serving the plot or conflict at the expense of character'' other times w/other roles but like#that'll then also be isolated enough to just ignore. w/rian it's like spent that whole time doing multivariable calculus waiting on more#info more context to conclude anything abt what she's even Basically supposed to be like. even my more generous theories can't hold up#and based on precedent i don't have much hope that remaining [i guess this could be a quality of hers] will either (a) not be contradicted#or (b) get to actually mean anything in any of her arcs which ig now get to be about the [nothing] that is [pay disrespects]#winston isn't bound to get a real arc even last minute but he'll still have felt like more of a character#rian doomed by intending ''importance'' from the start & that they don't seem to have ever had the idea of any more solid foundation#and that billions going ''gender; huh?'' can be like. rian has to go away now; we needed her vagania for diluted cishet man sex scandal#well i for one am really reflecting on Women In The Workplace(tm) now & for what. rian funnier littler guy winston Ever getting a C plot...#a superior tmc timeline....and like as ever rian can be shitty that'd be fine. but if it Means Nothing b/c billions either goes [nuh uh]#and/or b/c either way it just does Nothing with it. that then Is Not character material for her; it more so is For Winston suffering it....#most likely to end with billions just agreeing rian Was so specially meritous & deserving & winston was too cringefail (autistic) to live#even if we get anything Alright / given consideration & care in his material....which will in turn be like eh. as ever; will take it lol#plus ofc fascinating like. can't draw a hard line b/w the Writing & the Performance but still wondering how much of winston's idiosyncrasy#and that sense of character is big time via will's acting. definitely got that foundation in that the Writing = quant kid 2; one-off joke#and the Performance of that material = furiously writing in multiple winston scenes & despite it all bringing him all the way into s7#but he's autistic & typecast so also our hands are tied. could've had more for Either/Both quants; which = more for taylor by extension. f

if u have a special interest in brainwashing i think you would simply explode if u watched karmaland (IN A GOOD WAY IN A GOOD WAY) (there’s a crap ton of plot points connected to brainwashing and the loss of memory, it’s really interesting and the way it ties into how the characters interact and the overarching plot line makes me go insane) (bonus post i found a couple months ago about the theme of memory in it: https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/699057572266885120 )
HIHI I'm so sorry about getting to this late Oooo I really love that! (Checked out the post you sent) and from what I've just heard about Karmaland around it sounds very interesting! I gotta love me some good old fasioned loss of memory but everlastingly connected to some events vibe, because erasing the whole of a person is HARD. I cannot speak on a series I haven't watched, but that post is very interesting and those sort of plots have my whole heart. The main thing is that I really only speak enough spanish to have survived high school, and I still almost failed. I wanna get better at it but learning languages is just not something that comes to me with ease. Along with that, I listen to QSMP a lot in the background, and I couldn't do that if I needed to read subtitles constantly lol. There's something also to be said about how to be involved in the main qsmp plot rn you generally need to speak english but I feel like that is a victim of circomstance along with other things - People have noted the lack of Hispanic streamers online and how the French also seem disconnected from the main lore. Without going on too long of a rant I actually enjoy that I missed some content and lore that the Brazlians have and discovered it through the community, lol. Which is a long winded rant to say "I feel lucky that I am in the primary audience for the qsmp lore and I really don't feel like I could keep up with it if it wasn't in a language I spoke" Maybe sometime in the future, I'd love to check it out, or really if there were english plot summaries about I'm sure they'd be amazing, that's absolutley my sort of plot. If you have any reccomendations I'd love that!
I hope this was coherent lmao I have spent the last while feeling quite sick but sometime. Sometime I will ramble on the role that memory seems to play in the QSMP. sometime.
