My sweet Heidi! Congrats again on your 1K bby!! You deserve it and even more!! I was wondering if I could put in a blind drabble request with my love Frankie and numbers 22 and 301. I’m so proud of everything you’re doing and am so glad to call you one of my best buds. 💜💜💜

Meet Cute in the Garden Section

Wildemaven 1k Celebration / 1k Masterlist Pairing: Frankie Morales x Reader

Warnings: 18+ Blog; No warnings, just fluff!

Prompts: "This doesn't smell like roses." / "It was nice meeting you."

You don’t mean to stare. Actually you do, because it’s the cutest thing you’ve seen in a while. 

Between reading the tiny plant labels and filling your cart with an array of plants you had been looking forward to purchasing for your growing garden, you can’t help but notice a Dad and his daughter an aisle over doing some planting shopping of their own. 

He seems a little lost, removing his tattered ball cap every once in a while to comb through his chestnut locks, as he examines each plant his daughter holds up to him. His furrowed brow gives you the impression he doesn’t shop for plants often. 

As you continue your browsing, you find yourself in the same section as the cute shopping duo. In closer proximity you decide the Dad is quite cute with how his eyes crinkle when he smiles at something his daughter is saying and you think you see a hint of a dimple through his patchy beard. 

“This one is cute too Papa! Look at it.” The sweet little girl, who looks to be around 5 or 6 years old, says to her Dad holding up the tiny potted plant. “Can we get this one too?”

He takes the plant from her tiny hands, squinting as if he either forgot his glasses at home or thinks he doesn’t need them and continues struggling through reading small print. 

“I don’t know baby, I can’t really tell what the little symbol is, if this one is saying full sun or partial— maybe no sun?? This one might be a little more difficult to take care of.” He tells her as he goes to place it back in its designated spot. 

“Actually, those are pretty easy to take care of— perfect starter plants too.” You say, giving him a reassuring smile so as to not come off as some creepy stranger in the garden department. “Sorry, didn’t mean to bother you, just thought you should know.”

“Thanks— thank you. As you might have guessed, I know nothing about plants, or gardening for that matter.” He says, laughing at confessing his lack of knowledge about plants to a complete stranger. There’s definitely a dimple, way more prominent when he laughs. 

“That’s okay, we all start somewhere. So far, all of your choices are great ones, you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting things going.” You tell him as you glance over their selections. 

“So there’s hope for us then?”

“Definitely!”

“Papa! This doesn't smell like roses!” The sweet little girl, who looks like a copy and paste version of her father, declares while shoving another plant into their nearly filled cart. 

“That’s because it’s a succulent, no real scent to them.” You say, and guessing by her confused expression, she doesn’t know what one is. “It’s like a cactus, but none of those pokey needles on them. They’re fun to take care of because they don’t need a lot of water to grow and love the sun, very low maintenance.”

“That’s just what our garden needs, low maintenance.”

He doesn’t have a ring, but you're aware not everyone wears one these days, so you use your sleuth skills to ask about his marital status so you don’t over step any sort of boundaries. 

“Well, I’m sure your wife will be happy with everything you two have picked out.”

“Oh, we’re not married— I have her on the weekends and she’s been begging to plant a garden since she has one at her mom’s place. And I have no clue what I’m doing so I’m just guessing as we go.” 

Cute, and single. 

“I’m Frankie and this is Isabella.”

You give him your name and you continue to talk him through his gardening hesitations, really soaking up everything little detail you’re sharing with him— wishing he had something to take notes knowing he’ll probably forget most of it by the time they get home. 

“It was nice meeting you. I hope you both have fun and I wish you the best of luck in your gardening ventures.” Realizing you had definitely overstayed your welcome, but wishing you could chat more with Frankie— and not just about plants and their needs. 

You give them both a friendly wave goodbye, turning back to your cart to make your way to pay for your own plants, looking forward to an afternoon of planting and deciding what to make for dinner. 

You had finished loading your car with your collection of flowers and a few bags of potting soil, when you hear your name being called, and turn to see Frankie and Isabella walking in your direction. 

“Hey! More gardening questions?” 

“Yeah, I mean— not really. I was wondering, umm if I could maybe get your number. In case I were to have any questions about garden stuff, I could text you or call if you prefer— or I could turn back around and head to my car and we can pretend this lame attempt at me asking to see you again didn’t happen.” He sounds nervous, his one hand firmly tucked into the pocket of his jeans and the other securely around Isabella’s tiny hand— his irresistible smile and charming personality has really won you over. 

“I’d love to give you my number— for gardening and stuff.”

[plural-affirmations]

I've gathered thatvthis space is safe to vent to so I'm going to do that and... maybe ask for advice to lol. uh tw for lots of ableism btw!

So, when we first started realizing our system, we quickly decided to be anti-endo. As far as I know at least, I don't have the greatest memory in the world haha. But over time, we got fed up with it. We got fed up with the hatred of endos and our opinion started changing a bit, and by the time this next bit happened we wouldn't really be considered anti-endo at all, but we still followed and interacted with anti-endo blogs because we didn't want to push back and get harassment for uhhh, not hating endos. look, it's happened before, I've seen it a lot, so I was scared. So we just said nothing on syscourse.

But then, something happened. I had a realization. We aren't just traumagenic. Like, half my subsystem and a few of our main systems alters are likely endogenic! And now I don't know what to do. I feel like I don't fit into either spaces anymore. This is the only blog that feels safe right now. I don't know how to go about understanding ourself as endogenic as well, which is the part I thought you could maybe understand better than me

So I guess also, thank you? For giving me a nice place to go when I'm worried. Also you don't have to post this if you don't want and sorry if I was wrong about it being OK to vent here or something. Have a good day/night.

Well, strangely enough, I went through an extremely similar thing myself a few years ago. It's only been in the last year or so that we've been open about our origins and our support of non-traumagenic systems.

So, first off, I want to say: it's ok to change over time! It's ok to grow and have your opinions or outlook on life to drastically differ from who you were even a few months ago. That's the beautiful part about being here, and in case no one has said it recently... I'm really proud of you!

As for not knowing how to go about this sudden realization... I think the most important thing is to be patient with yourselves, and be open minded. You're already doing great on both of those fronts from where I'm looking at it, so you're on the right track!

Figuring out you're not quite the same as you thought you were can come as a big shock. But it's what you do with that information that matters, y'know? You know now that this is who you are. Now, you just have to learn to love the new you, wholeheartedly and unabashedly. That's really what most everyone I know is trying to do, even singlets.

If you're looking for a specific term that fits you, there's a couple I could recommend! There's multigenic, mixed origins, polygenic, isoscegenic, etc... I'm not trying to overwhelm you, just trying to let you know there's options :) I suggest going to this Pluralpedia page and seeing what resonates:

I hope this helps!!! Please feel free to follow up if you need or want to! /gen

HI MARI 🌸💕 i hope ur doing well!! i was thinking for the wip roundup something from open mind open heart?? 🥀👁️ (alsoo coral island oc *screams* YAY 💕💕)

hello allegra!! 💜 I'm doing great thank you for asking <3 I hope you're doing well too!! @finding-comfort-in-rain @onehornedbeast and hello Charlie and Ice!! thank you all for asking about this one 💙 the game's so much fun and writing for Bonnie is a blast sksks

so this is a silly little thought I had about Bonnie just getting completely wasted for the first time in years and Luke, bless him, he just wants to make sure she has a good time. the last time I posted a wip of the day after. this is from the actual night

“Why hello there, handsome. Free tonight?” Bonnie speaks into the mic when she spots Luke. Her voice echoes through the bar.

He ignores the initiation of her next ‘performance’ and keeps walking up the stage.

“My boyfriend isn’t around. How about we slip away for the night?”, she whispers — as if everyone in the building couldn’t hear her like this – with a dramatic emphasis on the word ‘slip’. Ironically, in this very moment, Bonnie slowly tilts backwards and almost slips off her own feet.

Luke catches her and the mic at the very last moment, pulling the woman close to him and keeping her secure with an arm around her waist.

“Oh, getting right to it, are we?”, she teases.

Again, he pays her comments no mind while dragging her off stage.

Bonnie’s steps are short and uneven. It’s a miracle this girl can still stand, she can barely hold her own head up.

“Do you need any help?”, Noah asks with an amused look on his face.

As soon as Luke is convinced that Bonnie is secure on her feet, he lets her go and turns his attention to the other man. “Thank you, Noah but I think we’ll manage.”

Just as he finishes the sentence, Bonnie tilts once more. Thanks to Luke’s quick reflexes he manages to catch her again before she can hit the ground.

Despite his amusement, Noah shoots them a concerned look, “You sure?”

“She can do this.” Luke eyes Bonnie for a moment and adds, “Right?”

She doesn’t answer, her attention lays elsewhere, staring into the distance even though the bar is empty by now safe for the three of them.

Luke was about to get her attention when Bonnie calls out an enthusiastic ‘yes’, followed by a bright smile.

He doubts she even knows what’s going on, but it doesn’t exactly matter. He sighs in defeat and puts a hand on the small of her back, leading her towards the door. “Come on, let’s go.”

#wip tag #don't be fooled! he actually enjoys her at all times! this one included #she's one of a kind #yk to him at least #he's just exhausted

Hi, if you don't mind and they're still open could I please have a LOTR and The Hobbit matchup? 🥺👉👈

I'm fine with either a male or female ship, though I think it's important to note that I'm Asexual. I'm an autistic adult who also has arthritis, scoliosis, asthma and a bunch of other symptoms like feeling faintish too.

I tend to cover up a lot clothing-wise because I sunburn easily, but that doesn't mean I don't like myself. I'm actually pretty confident, or at least don't feel the need to change myself for others. I'm also a huge nerd who enjoys nonfiction books and informational videos, especially on subjects like archaeology, science, botany, paleontology, witchcraft and history. I can infodump about just about anything, and I know tons of trivia, especially about those subjects and my favorite authors. I'm also learning how to sew and crochet, and I write a LOT. I have an ongoing journal that I've kept for years now.

My style can be best described as "Cottagecore Ms Frizzle" tbh. It's also very important to note that I'm 4' 10" because of a disability that stunted my growth. If you're not American that's about 147 cm so yeah, very tiny. I also have glasses and very long wavy brown hair.

I'm very sweet and I try to be friendly to everyone. I can also be a little sensitive at times, but I'm also very wise and I give good advice. I often write about very deep issues and I can think very big picture, but I also appreciate small things in life. I think you can find beauty everywhere if you really look for it. Though I can also be stubborn and once my boundaries are crossed I don't forgive easily, I will admit. I love caring for people though and if someone is sad, I'll often ask if I could get them anything (mainly tea because I love tea) or rub their back to comfort them. Focusing on little things and helping people is what keeps me going in a world that is constantly wracked with disaster tbh.

Thanks so so much, I hope you have a great day hun! Take care of yourself and drink lots of water!

Absolutely take care of yourself babe! 🥰

First I ship you with Galadriel! 💜

She makes tea every time you are in Rivendell always making it herself and making sure it is always the way you liked it

She loves watching you write and reads it after never taking the sweet smile off of her face every time she reads the things you write

She doesn't mind that you are shorter than her nor the fact of you having a disability doing research on what you have and what it does to you

She always checks your glasses when you leave them next to her when you shower or fall asleep cleaning them if they are dirty and replacing them if they are damaged somehow

She loves that you always try to give the best advice to anyone in need of it whether they are going through a rough patch or unsure of something

She always listens and enjoys your info dumps no matter what it is or how long your talks are she is always happy to listen

She always reminds you to take care of yourself from taking your meds, drinking more water, eating when you haven't eaten in awhile, or to sleep when you're clearly exhausted

Finally I ship you with The bard

He likes hearing you info dump whether it's about something you like, how your day was going or went, what you and the kids did or were going to do, or just anything at all making him smile

He repairs your glasses if they get broke making sure to always replace the glass if need be necessary and to tighten the sides as well

He always makes sure to remind you to drink water especially when you're sick, to eat food when he knows you haven't eaten in a while, to sleep even when you haven't been sleeping well, and to take your meds on time even when you're dealing with things around you

He loves seeing you give advice to others when they're in a situation especially when needed and even giving advice about bullying and growing up to the kids helping them making him love you even more

He never minds that you have a disability and that you're shorter than him because of it and doesn't mind helping you when you need help with getting things

He always loves reading what you write even having a few he will have copied or write down to keep somewhere

He makes tea for you every day always trying different flavors and ways to make it and keeps track of whether you like it or not

Hope your chapter turns out well and that it doesn't stress you out!! You are a good writer!! If you are still doing these 12 and 13, if not hope you have a great day!!

Thank you for your kind words. I have finished the chapter and now wait another day to go over it again. Thanks again💚💜

12. Pretends to be so tough, but is the softest teddy bear

Dax is a beast. Everyone with functioning eyes can see that. The grumpy expression he wears just adds to it. People expect him to be a tough motherfucker, and he just turned into exactly that. You better not mess with him, because he'll tear you down - verbally or physically. That's what he is trying to make the world believe.

Little do people know that he suffers from RBFS - resting bitch face syndrome. He isn't really grumpy, even though his face tries to tell you exactly that. You know that, and it breaks your heart that no one seems to ever notice his adorable dimples when he smiles. The sparkle in his eyes when he talks about things he loves. The way he wants to cuddle all the time. He's your personal teddy bear, and people don't get your relationship. While in the beginning, it bothered you, it doesn't matter any more. You know who he truly is underneath the tough shell....and you're secretly happy you don't have to share teddy Dax with anyone.

13. Will always call you to say goodnight

Yoots is madly in love with you. He used to be with you all the time, but ever since he's joined BCC and his efforts finally resulted in more TV time, he also has other responsibilities: Interviews, random appearances, all while training with the rest of BCC. He knows you miss him just as much as he misses you, so no matter how busy his day was, how beat up and sore he is, there is one thing he needs to do before he falls asleep: call you to hear your voice. God, He loves your voice. He'll always listen to what you tell him about your day before he tells you how much he loves you and that he misses you like crazy before saying goodnight.

Bonus points for Wheeler: When there are time shifts he makes sure to not call too late

Well! You did it! You survived your first foray into the new year! In just a few days it'll be a full week of 2024. As exciting as that is, it's a little daunting. This week, good or bad, is just that- A week. There are 52 more weeks (And chances) to right wrongs, and keep any rights going! No matter what, You Are Enough; You don't have to be perfect, you're still growing, you can say no, you're doing what's best for you, you don't have to know everything. You are enough. Short and sweet this week! I hope 2024 is better to you than 2023 was, and I know this year the universe has great surprises in store for you. I hope you get to do something you enjoy this weekend. I hope you have some time for yourself, you get to watch your favorite show, and that you get to relax. I am cheering you on and rooting for you through this week! -- 💜💜 Victoria

Mero🧡 and Arjin💜, who are behind every decision I make and support me no matter what, if I were locked up in the same house, I would never get bored with you, I'm glad you're in my life. Zeliha💖 and helo💕, we are the trio that realizes being together in the school life after high school that everyone dreams of. Although we were close in high school, we are like three sisters here, thank you for being with me even in my worst times, I am glad you are in my life. Heleniuuuy👄, if we come to my love, a lot has been written about you, but my favorite is the laughter we had together, I hope that the bond between us never ends. Raperin 🫶🏻 my Stockholmm, The most successful, the most innocent, the sweetest person I have ever met in my life, I am so happy to know you this year, I hope our bond will never break, es bueno conocerte. Emrah📿, we last met in primary school and we've been close friends again for a year, I'm so lucky to know you, you're the male version of me, I'm so glad I know you, my mafia dude. Emrecan💗, the love of my thirties, I feel like you will cheat on me, but I hope you find a beautiful girl than me, I love you too, bye. Deniz🌊, the last person I knew from my male friends, you may be the second most compassionate person I have met in my life. I got to know you in a very short time and I will remind you of this article if you have a daughter in the future because I am very sure that one day you will have a daughter and that daughter will be very lucky. Good to know you. I think these are the ones that come to my mind and all my other friends are about to enter the new year, I hope the new year brings health, happiness, peace and money to all of us in Turkey, I wish all your wishes come true. Happy New Year🎊🏄‍♀️💅🪬💖😭💘😪🤲🏻💅🏄‍♀️🎊

Congrats on the 400! You're wonderful and I love you're writing!! Do you think you could write something with Rex and a chubby Jedi reader? Anything fluffy and sweet honestly, I just haven't come across much with him and chubby or plus sized readers..

Thank you so much, anon! That means a lot to me 💜💜 I hope this is to your liking!

"Just the Way You Are"

Pairing: Rex x fem Jedi reader

***

"Glad to see you made it back, General."

It was the handsome Clone Captain of the 501st; Captain Rex who had come up to you as you disembarked off your gunship on Coruscant. You were a Jedi Master returning from a mission with your battalion of Clones. You liked it whenever you got to see Rex, even though he didn't serve under you. He was kind and actually gave you the time of day, which was something you weren't used to.

You were a bit larger in size than most of the other Jedi and it made you feel self-conscious most of the time. You weren't always as fast as the others or as acrobatic. The other Jedi never really said anything, but you still caught some judgemental glances here and there. You felt like you just weren't good enough in the eyes of everyone else. However, after being assigned to help Master Skywalker once on a mission, you met Captain Rex and he actually spoke to you like a regular person. It had caught you off guard at first, but you still liked it. After that, you started to consider him a friend.

As he came up to you, you said to him, "Thank you, Captain. It's good to be back."

"Another successful mission?" he asked you as the two of you walked.

You half-heartedly answered, "Well...yeah, I guess."

Rex looked at you with confusion. "You guess? What happened?"

"We took the base like we were tasked to, but...I had some trouble."

"What sort of trouble?"

"I, uh...had a difficult time keeping up." When he still looked like he didn't understand, you stopped walking and told him, the floodgates of your emotions suddenly bursting, "I'm a chubby person, Rex. I don't have the same agility or stamina as a lot of the other Jedi. I can't run as fast or jump as high, so that makes things harder for me. Even the Clones sometimes look at me like I'm worthless because I can't keep up with them on missions."

Rex's expression softened. "I don't think you're worthless, General."

You were going to say something in retort, but his words took you aback.

He went on to say, "So you're not the same size as most other people...your size has no bearing on the kind of person you want to be. I've seen you in action: you're still just as capable a fighter as any other Jedi I've seen."

You sighed. "I appreciate that, Rex, but it's not that simple."

"Of course, it is," he countered firmly. "If you were less than capable, you wouldn't be alive right now. You would have fallen in battle long ago. You're still standing and that's what matters. You could have given up when you realized things were difficult, but you're still here fighting for the Republic. You're courageous and you continue to do what's right. Any Jedi or soldier should be honored to serve alongside you because you haven't given up and continue to fight. I know I certainly am."

Stunned at Rex's words, you continued to gape at him for a moment. He was so sincere in his words and you couldn't believe it.

"Rex, I...I don't know what to say," you said back.

He held up a hand dismissively. "You don't need to say anything, General. If you're still concerned about how you look, there are things you can do to help that along. I could recommend some training regimens that could help you get more fit, but if you ask me...." He gave you a sweet, encouraging grin. "I think you're great just the way you are."

The genuine way Rex said that to you warmed your heart immensely. He really didn't care about how you looked like everyone else did. He believed in you and already thought so highly of you. Maybe he was right; maybe it didn't matter what your size was. He believed you were good enough already...and for now, that was enough for you.

"Thank you, Captain," you said to him gratefully.

Rex gave you a salute and a smile. "It was my pleasure, General."
