#i dont think these are my top 5 of all time i could never pick like that. however these are vital to who i am

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

aita for asking my mum to clean out the kitty litter trays even though its usually my chore

i drove to doctors and work this morning, i worked 8.30 till 5 she worked 8.30 til 4 and drove home after her shift ended to pick up my dance clothes for me (i only didnt have them because i had to stay late at work since 3 people went home sick).

my friend cancelled on me for dance tryouts so i spend the afternoon crying and eventually choose to go anyway because i was excited for hiphop but by this point my head is pounding.

i get out of work, she drives me to dance and goes to get macdonalds while she waits for me to get out. halfway through dance they mention we are not even doing hiphop today not until next week (u have to pay for the tryouts btw)

i get out 7.40ish. on the drive home im thinking "fuck its almost 8 i havent done any uni study, (i have 2 lectures, a quiz and like 8 readings that need to be done today and tomorrow), i havent spent any time with our cats or cleaned their litter trays yet."

for reference we have new cats and are introducing them into a house with a dog so rn we have them in one room and let them out occassionally while putting the dog out back, while i clean out the litter trays and top them up every day, once a week we empty them completely and clean them out

so we get home and i say "would it be too much to ask if you could please do the litter trays tonight" i try to explain that i have a headache and ive still got a lot of uni homework to do and i havent spent any time with the cats so i'd play with them for a bit while she cleans the trays and then do my homework

immeadiately she starts yelling at me that shes tired, she hasnt been home from work all day, she did it last time, shes done so many favours for me already today and blah blah blah.

the way i see it, first, i clean the kitty litter trays every day and vacuum their room. she has literally never done this, she emptied out and washed a tray last week because i was sick and got home from work and passed out. i (a learner btw so im very stressed when i drive) drove us to her appt and then to work, i worked more hours than her today, i danced all night with a headache, i also have not been home all day, after being cancelled on and then them not even doing the type of dance i wanted to do and i still have to do uni work tonight so i dont think im the selfish one here.

but sitting in my cats room while they eat their dinner i can hear her storm about and slam doors because shes so mad at me but i dont understand am i in the wrong here?

also literally as i am writing this she comes out and goes "tell me when youve finished dinner so i can let the cats out. and DONT leave it too late" while my food is literally cooking as we fucking speak jfc.

i have a bit of a diary where i write when mum is mad at me because if i mention to her that she upset me it never goes well so i write it down to safely let those feelings out and as i was writing this one i just needed some clarity i really cant fathom any reason for her to be mad except egocentrism so perhaps an unbias outsider can shed light?

What are these acronyms?

Broken Heart. part 2

Characters; fem!reader, Gojo Satoru, Toji Fushiguro (gn!reader aswell)

Warnings; break up, meeting ex, drinking alcohol, partying, drunk, fighting, not proof read

Word count; 1.5k

Summary; After your break up your friends dragged you along for a party and you met someone new.

Here is Part 1

A few days after the break up with Gojo, lets just say you were more then at rock bottom. You sobbed and cried all day while listening to sloppy, sad depressing music which you said to yourself that you would never do. A few of your friends had to come and help you around so that you dont live in a dumpster. The days you did go to work, you noticed your coworker, the one who made you feel worthless and took everything from you, got demoted due to "complaints" and you couldn't help but smirk to yourself. Plus she avoided you twice as much so now you didnt have to see her ugly face. Guess it worked out after all.

Your friends on the other hand tried everything to make you do something but you were always "tired" so they gave up after a while. And as promised, you had gotten up to get a glass of water when you heard a buzz on your phone. Thinking it was one of your friends you looked at the text notification to see it was Gojo. You threw your phone at the couch and took a deep breath before picking it up. You knew you should have blocked him but you still have a little hope.

Gojo: Hey love, can we talk?

You didnt know how to reply to that. How could you? You didnt want to hear him out because there was nothing to say. He was caught red handed and basically pleated guilty. So you switched off your phone and turned on the tv. You got another text but this time from your friends.

Friend 1: Y/n! We're going out to the club today you should come!

Friend 2: Yeah, maybe you can find a better guy then that asshole you dated

Friend 1: Exactly! We are picking you up at 6 so get ready alright!

Leaving the messages on read, you sighed to yourself as you went to your bedroom. You had to get ready or else they'll drag you to the club in your pj's and what if you do find a nice guy? You need to look your best. So you spent the next few hours getting ready, ready to be the prefect person you were always meant to be. As you heard your friend's car pull up in your drive way you checked in the mirror one last time to make sure everything was perfect. Makeup. Great. Outfit. Spectacular. And lastly your phone. You walked out the door feeling like you owned the world and your friends hyped you up especially since this is the first time in a week you've left the house for something personal to do.

Entering the club, you eyes scanned over everyone inside, especially the men who seemed drunker then ever. Was the club that good? Before you could say anything, mostly about going home, your friends dragged you to a booth and ordered a few drinks.

"Cmon y/n! Have some fun!"

"Guys i dont think this is a good idea"

"Nonsense! Just have one!"

So you did, but one turned into 3 then 5 and it just kept going until the point you lost count.

Your friends eventually pushed you to the dance floor where everyone else was and you felt alive. The music was loud and pumping through your veins, the drinks made you loosen up a lot and you had forgotten everything that happened. You signalled to your friend that you'd be sitting down at your booth and began walking towards it once they gave you a thumbs up. Looking towards your booth, your vision blurry you didnt notice you bumped into someone.

"Oh my god! Im so sorry!" You say repeatedly.

"Its okay. Im fine. That was nothing" a deep voice replied. Looking up you see a tall man with dark black hair looking at you.

You nodded and you both carried on with what you were doing but you couldn't get the guys face out of your head. He was a fit looking man with a cut on from the top to the bottom of his mouth. Dang it. You should of asked for his name. You looked around to see if you could spot him again but no use. However what you did see was 10 times worse. Your ex, Gojo, was at the very same bar with his friends and from the looks of it, he was walking right towards you.

"Hey y/n." All the alcohol you had just disappeared and you didnt have blurry vision. Atleast not from the drinks. You friends noticed the tears that were threatening to spill out and rushed over to you.

"Hey what the hell is you problem?"

"Yeah, last time I checked your status was cheater"

You can not emphisias more on how much you love your friends. Gojo ignores them, looking directly at you, his blue eyes showing more then what he was willing to show. But all you could remember was the feeling of betrayal.

Your friends had caused quiet a commotion to the point some people started recording and others started to try break up the fight. You were too busy trying to hold your emotions together, your mind swirling through each thought. It was when you felt a hand on your shoulder that you finally came back to reality.

"You caused quiet a scene, huh Gojo. Leave the poor girl alone" the voice sent shivers down your spine at how calm he sounded. His deep voice was a reminder to who he was and upon looking up you were right. The same man with the cut on his mouth.

"Step aside. I wasn't talking to you." Gojo says as he walks up to the man who is supposedly named Toji. They were standing head to head to each other with your poor self in between them.

"I thought your single now that you cheated with that lame ass women" Toji says as he tilts his head in a mocking smile. No words come from Gojo but a glare was evident as Toji put an arm around your waist and pushed Gojo as you walked together. You were still processing everything, you wanted to turn around to see if Gojo was looking but you knew he was but you turned around anyway and sure he was. You couldn't lie, the satisfaction you felt seeing him with his eyes wide looking directly at you was amazing. You turned around realising the hand tighten a little around your waist and you became a little uncomfortable. You looked towards the ground and took a deep breath.

"Uh thank you for your assistance, but I can take care of myself." You say trying to get away from the man.

"Really? I saw how you were back there. And we both know that dumb fuck will follow you just to talk to you. He has nothing better to do."

Toji says with a slight chuckle. "Atleast let me take you home pretty lady" he says as he holds his hand out. "Ugh fuck me." You mumble not sure of what to do. "Oh? Can I really?" He gives you a smirk before looking behind you to see Gojo still staring. "Great. Let's go then" he puts his arm around your shoulders and takes you out of the bar, calling over a taxi to drive you.

"Y/n! Wait!" The familiar voice shouted out, the one that used to bring you comfort. "Why are you going with him!"

"Satoru, its not your problem is it now? Besides he's my new boyfriend"

Gojo stared at you with shock. "Y/n please. I'll do better I promise. Give me one more chance!" He pleaded with you, looking at you with such intensity.

"Im sorry. But I cant. I trusted you." You say looking down holding back the tears.

"Thats right. Now go to that side chick, she'll love to have you." Toji turned you around with a hand gently placed on your back.

"Bye Satoru." You whisper quietly as a tears rolled down your cheek. You and Tojo both got into the taxi as he flipped Gojo off and the taxi started driving down the street. "Boyfriend huh? I like the wound of that" he whispered closely to your ear with a smirk.

A/n: Here's a part 2 since some of you guys wanted one! Sorry for it being written later. I didnt know if I should do toji or geto but I think toji and Gojo dont like eachother from what I know so I thought it was better. Hope you enjoy!

Part 2 tag: @labelt-san @ritsatoru @multi-fandom-fanfic

私は完璧です.

A boy by the name Kamado Tanjiro,

was currently spending the night at a man's home, the man claimed it is very dangerous at night. Tanjiro had trouble sleeping because of how much worry he was holding for his family...

the man said the night was not safe, which led to the poor young man to worry even more for his precious family.

After the night past, he thanked the man and quickly rushed to his home, he was ready for the warm welcome, and the scolding of his mother for not arriving the day before.

He smiled brightly while he could see his home from a far... but he suddenly stopped and his eyes widened.

"The smell of blood!" He quickly rushed to his home and the sight he saw was something he will never forget.

"..." The boy couldn't believe his eyes... "Nezuko..." he walked in and saw his whole family Lifelessly on the floor..."

Mother! Hanako! Nezuko! What happened!?" The young boy was panicking and he started shedding tears for his now dead family, until.

"Nezuko!" She still has a pulse... the young boy thought, he quickly decided to carry his dear younger sister down the hill and take her to town so she could get medical attention, she was in desperate need of it..

The air was very thin, as it was winter. Tanjiro was very desperate to help his sister... he couldn't imagine a world without his family.

Suddenly, nezuko woke up! But, it wasn't just Nezuko, she was now a Demoness... and she was hungry. Due to Nezuko's rapid shaking both her and her brother fell down, luckily, the snow was thick, which made it a soft landing for Tanjiro and his sister.

Speaking of her, she was looking down at the ground, as she stood still... "Nezuko! Nezuko are you alright!? You dont have to walk! Let me carry you to town!..... Nezuko?"

Without a word, the young girl jumped at her brother and attacked him, out of instincts, he pulled out his hatchet and quickly started blocking while Nezuko tried to bite him. Several pleading could be heard from him and saying he was worried for Nezuko was an understatement...

Tanjiro could smell another presence coming towards he and his sister, and they were coming fast. Panicked, out of reflex he quickly pushes Nezuko out of they way before the unknown person could harm her with the Katana they wield.

(Time skip🫀) (because I forgot what else happened)

My sister has turned into a mole...' Tanjiro thought, his dear sister Nezuko dug a whole so that she could avoid the sun. He quickly brushed off the thought and put the basket (i think) infront of Nezuko.

"Nezuko.. can you try fit in the basket? Can you fit?" He asked his sister, she attempted to enter, but her body was too grown, if only she were a bit smaller...

"Nezuko... earlier your body turned to one of a adult, so is it possible for your body to become smaller..? Im sure you'll fit!" Out of nowhere, She became smaller, so she was able to fit in the basket..

"Good job Nezuko! You did it!" He pat Nezuko head, she enjoyed the praise and head pats from her brother, so her mood definitely got better.Tanjiro picked up the basket that contains his dear sibling, who was surprisingly very light. He covered the top so the sun couldn't reach Nezuko, he didn't want to see her hurt by the sun, he promised himself to protect his sister, even if it costs his own life.

(Meanwhile)

(name) was looking at the chaos caused by uppermoon 6 and uppermoon 5, Daki, upper six, was having a tantrum because Gyokko, upper five, said her hair clips was made poorly, he said it doesn't look good compared to his art.

(Name) nearly snickered at all the insults Daki is sending back to Gyokko as a comeback for her hairclip.Uppermoon 1 was minding his business, he only speaks when either (name) or the demon king spoke to him, he didn't find anyone else worthy for his time.

Uppermoon 3 & 2 were talking, Douma was being a pain in the ass to Akaza, who was resisting the urge to punch his head off, but he didn't, (name) was there and he didn't want to seem rude infront of her.

Uppermoon 4, Hantengu was hiding behind a wall, he doesn't feel safe anywhere near the infinity castle, especially when he makes eye contact with uppermoon 2 or 1, he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, but the demon king wanted a meeting. He knew he couldnt decline. Oh how he wishes he could though.

(Name) was getting bored, she didn't know why her brother asked her to attend the meeting, but she didn't decline. She had nothing better to do anyway, it's daylight after all...

(Back to Tanjiros POV)

The Demon was still speaking, even if Tanjiro cut off his head with his hatchet, he looked at the demons body as it was burned by sunlight. "You wont kill it with that." An elder man said.Tanjiro faced him, he looked at him, shocked and confused. "You are Kamado Tanjiro, correct?, Tomioka sent you. I am going to train you to be a successful demon hunter. Come inside."

s3ph0r@ tips 😋

idk how bad it is in the US but disclaimer this is coming from me, a canadian 🤪

be aware of ur surroundings !!!

seems obvious but a lot of people say to act like a normal shopper and just ignore everyone else. but honestly, normal shoppers react to people squeezing by, they’ll look around to see things. lots of sephoras are crowded and you wont notice if there’s an SA right behind you. keep an eye out or bring a friend. also, certain mall locations have LPs in BRIGHT RED shirts. 

2. body concealing is ur best friend here

shoving a palette or even a small liner into ur bag is gonna look super sus… the cameras are REALLY good here. place the item on top of your phone, hold it close to you and wait for a bit until you can slip your phone into ur bag or pocket naturally. or reach into a shelf and slip an item into your sleeve, then pull out another item to look at. 

3. WATCH FOR THE CAMERAS. 

i’ve seen people say that the cameras here are good, to the point where they can ZOOM INTO your bag and see the item dropping in. don’t risk it. find a good blind spot or crouch down. get a friend to lookout. don’t get caught in 4k.

4. this one’s kinda hard - but if a SA sees you pick up an item, drop it and come back to it later. 

in my posted storytime they got caught bc the SA saw them holding something - then suddenly they weren’t. make sure the SA SEES you put the item down. once, an SA saw me with a few items so i asked my friend something like “hmm, should i get the eyeshadow or the eyeliner?” thinking i would just conceal the one that i “put down”… but an SA saw and was like “omg just get both! they’ll look so good on you!” and i was like ugh… but again if you’re never carrying anything then it’ll look weird. you ARE shopping right?

5. if you can, find locations that aren’t connected to a mall.

these locations are usually WAYY less busy. whenever i go to my stand-alone location, there’s literally 3 other people in there with me and all the SAs are bored to death.

6. if you get asked if you need help, personally i like asking them for something you know they don’t have. 

for example - i’ll check on the website to see if the location i’m going to carries a certain product, then if they don’t i’ll remember it and ask the SA that greets me if they have that product in stock. they’ll say no, and you can act all sad and just say that you’ll look around for a bit. you’ll get left alone!! tip for finding these products - look up viral products or perfumes, a lot of stores don’t have all the perfumes in stock all the time.

7. in terms of how to dress and act

i see SO many posts on here telling you to do your makeup all fancy or “dress like you could buy the whole store”… DONT. you’re gonna be so much more memorable that way, more attention grabbing than if you just had like. clean girl makeup or whatever. be nice to SAs !! where i am, a lot of them are super chatty and honestly i don’t mind talking to them, they’re really fun. just don’t go over the top but i’m sure you get the idea.

i hope this wasn’t just a useless ramble 🙏 ik a lot of this is probably like… duh but sometimes when ur in there all common sense just escapes u yk??

[joelletwo]

@coquelicoq tagged me to list 5 topics i can talk on for an hour without preparing any material.......... fascinating!! thank you

animal care at this point i still retain most of the info i learned for my last job. if i had to narrow it: i never got very intimately familiar w small mammals. lizards confused me and have such a wide range of needs per species. invertebrates dont need enough care to talk about for an hour LOL. but almost certainly i still know enough about fish husbandry and tank maintenance to fill up an hour easy peasy without even going in depth on any of it. (or dog/cat food nutrition but only from a 'collating data' viewpoint and not a 'having confident opinions about any of it' one)

the intersection of thematic elements and real-world production circumstances of a small unrelated circle of media lol. the hs-gintama-orv-umi-twig venn diagram that lives in my head at all times.

i transcribed a lecture on baroque and rococo architecture that charmed me enough that i did attempt to replicate it for my roomie. transcribed material was always like. i understand it while working on it but lose it once i try to convey it to someone else lol so it wouldnt be very Coherent but it would be Impassioned. and for top lectures to vicariously listen to its between this one and the biology class one about the function of hormones from pregnancy to birth to childhood to adulthood to old age, and i have an easier time remembering architecture details

hmmmm riffing on yours. put any amv in front of me and i could talk about its choice of song/scenes/editing an hour easy.

Fanfic Writer Questions

Thank you @silvery-bluish & @glitchy-npc for the tags! Not sure who else to send it to atm but if you see this on my page and decide to pitch in with your answers feel free to @ me!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

I've got 12! Most are oneshots, others are series.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

47002 on AO3 at the moment! And so much more in my docs.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Primarily Fallen Hero, with a dash of TWC and some other fandoms sprinkled in my WIPS but I've been on Fallen Hero brainrot for a long time now so the other fandoms are currently neglected.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Nightmare (surprisingly enough) w/ 28 kudos

focus (it's harder than you think) (also surprising lol) w/ 20 kudos

new pavement w/ 18 kudos

anamnesis w/ 18 kudos

freefall w/ 13 kudos tied with bath(toaster)tub also w/ 13 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to respond to all of them! But some days I just don't have the spoons to and I forget, but I really appreciate any comments I receive.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

HA. you want me to pick??? Ok hrm. maybe bath(toaster)tub? anamnesis also has so me pretty angsty pieces in there.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

PFFF. ok gotta. go look for this one. Maybe sargasso sea, though it's technically not the last iteration in its series between a continued plotline hinted out in after the fall and a third part planned for its series.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet! I think.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

(slaps brain) this bad boy can generate so much smut. I write pretty much any kind? Soft, rough, indulgent, M/M, F/M, F/F, other any everything, kinky or emotional, etc. Just whatever strikes me at the time, but most just dont get published bc I'm mid.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I typically HATE crossover fics they just aren't my thing I do write AUs of X story set in X story's universe, just haven't published them (wait does that still count as a crossover).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nah, considered it once tho.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope! Haven't found someone with the vibe ig, it's just never crossed my mind to co-write a fic and just never been asked too.

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

(cue strained breath) i have no all time favorites BUT. but. Ricardo/Wei gets me SO soft ok. i just. unrequited years long attraction finally requited and i. AAAAA. place sidestep in there too and i'm just so happy. i need poly rep in my life sometimes ok.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I stare into the google docs hell and ask you how you could expect me to pick one but. BUT. Praeludium//Allegro. A piece meant to dive in how Sidestep is able to experience the moment someone dies through their mind.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Shorter pieces! They tend to be about ~2000-5000 words per part, that's usually when I feel I've done my best. I'm also. Decent at NSFW writing? Sometimes, at least.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Definitely long fics. I had a plan for freefall and have scrapped and adapted it multiple times now, pus it's just difficult to keep myself interested in specific but necessary chapters.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

It's fun! I've included Spanish and Russian excerpts into my fics before but I don't do it a lot. Considered writing fully in Spanish at some point for an Ortega POV but I'm not confident in my grammar abilities. Spanish verb tenses my beloathed.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Naruto. On a different old account best left to gather dust.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Hm, I'm not sure if I have a favorite. I do really like the NSFW piece I wrote from Remy's POV, though. Short but good.

A short story for @buckybarnesevents

Happy Birthday Buck

Base: AU Bucky| Frosting: Steve Rogers (All the Avengers| Filling: Forever is comprised of Nows| Toppings: Picnic and blue

30… A year no one really looks foward to… Bucky looked around… his boyfriend was fast asleep next to him. He still wasn’t used to being in the Avengers tower but after Steve talked to Tony, Bucky was welcomed with open arms. It was 4 in the morning and Bucky couldn’t sleep, as usual. Bucky looked around the room and decided to get up but Steve immediately pulled him back down. ‘Hey hey… Buck whats up?’ Steve wrapped his arms around his boy. ‘Uhh nothing just going to the bathroom…’ Bucky lied and went to the bathroom. He stood there for a good 5 minutes looking at himself. He tried not to awaken his boyfriend so he went back to bed and laid there letting Steve’s barren chest warm him up on that cool Saturday morning.

7 am. Tony, Pepper and Peter (Tony and Pepper adopted Peter (age 5) after an early death of Aunt May) was in the living room/ kitchen of the Avengers tower with Clint, Wanda, Pietro, Natasha and Scott decorating for Bucky’s birthday. ‘How has he NEVER had a birthday before!? That’s asinine!’ Scott said in astonishment as he hung up the Birthday banner. Tony got Happy to pick up 3 dozen donuts and a couple of candles so they could sing happy birthday to Bucky when he woke up. Sam came in the tower with a BUNCH of balloons, a birthday hat and a pin for Bucky to wear. ‘Hey everyone! Whos ready to embarrass Bucky with me!!?’ Sam laughed as he set everything down. Peter tried to sneak over and take a donut but got caught by Tony. Tony kissed Peter and set him back down so he could play with his toys. Steve finally emerged from his and Bucky’s room. ‘Ok guys it’s time to get to work.’

Bucky was told to not leave their room until someone got them. Vision decided to pay him a visit. ‘Happy birthday Bucky.’ He said. ‘You humans are weird having birthdays.’ ‘Well it’s also weird that you are red and having a stone keeping you alive but whose taking notes.’ Bucky retorted immediately. Vision immediately apologized and left Bucky in the room. The living room/ kitchen was chaotic setting up everything. ‘Ok can I grab the birthday boy yet?’ Steve asked as he looked around the room. ‘Yep I think we are ready.’ Tony said. A room full of presents and decorations waited for an unsuspecting Bucky in his room. Steve saw Bucky facing the window. He slowly approached the Winter Soldier… his Winter Soldier. ‘Buck. Hey. Its time.’ Steve kissed Bucky’s cheek. Bucky had chills and his face turned red. Bucky stood up slightly shorter than Steve after the serum it was so cute cause Steve could easily pick up his partner in crime. ‘Hey Buck, before we go out there. Dont forget. Forever is composed of Nows. This- all of this is for you… for us. Creating good memories that will replace the bad ones. I love you Buck.’ Steve didn’t let Bucky actually answer him and led him into the room with the rest of the Avengers.

The Avengers immediately yelled ‘Happy Birthday Bucky!!!’ and started to sing to him. Sam RAN up behind him and pinned the Captain America birthday pin on him and put the Avengers birthday hat on his best friend. As everyone sang, Bucky was actually surprised. He wasnt used to the attention let alone feeling important. Tony brought over a stack of 3 donuts with red white and blue sprinkles with sparkler candles. Bucky had Steve behind him singing into his ear. Bucky whispered a thank you that only Steve could hear. Everyone cheered for Bucky as Tony handed him the plate. Natasha led Bucky to the pile of presents. ‘Wait is this all for me!?’ Bucky was shocked. ‘Yep all for our favorite-‘ Sam said ‘AHEM!’ Tony said loudly. ‘Ok my favorite Super soldier.’ ‘HEY I’m right here!!’ Steve said playfully. Sam laughed. Bucky opened a few gifts while snacking on his birthday donuts. He got a few leather jackets, some henley shirts, money and because Steve gave everyone some ‘hints’ he got some Captain America memorabilia like a plush shield pillow and a Captain America plush. FRIDAY had happy birthday playing over the speakers as all this was happening. Bucky couldn’t believe everyone was going all out for his birthday.

‘Alright guys time to go!’ Tony led everyone to the elevator. ‘Uhh where are we going Steve??’ Bucky was definitely confused. ‘Oh uhh we just wanted to go out.’ Steve lied. ‘Well I’m not wearing THIS out of the house—‘ before Steve could answer Bucky Sam had pushed Bucky in the elevator with 3 balloons. It was so obvious it was Bucky’s birthday it would be hard to miss. Bucky was this close to shooting Sam but he left his gun in his other pants. Bucky stood there truly embarrassed as the Avengers would randomly in the elevator say ‘happy birthday Bucky!’ And he would have to reply ‘thanks…’ As they hit the streets everyone wished Bucky a happy birthday. He blushed trying to hide behind Steve but it’s kinda impossible to hide behind someone when YOU are the one with birthday accessories. Tony led them down the streets of Manhattan and Bucky was wise and didnt ask any questions. Bucky forgot how Manhattan looked due to most of his memories being bad ones. Steve held his boyfriend’s hand and would point to different stuff showing Bucky different landmarks and stores they passed. Since Bucky and Steve were in the back of the group, Steve would plant random kisses on Bucky’s cheek and hold him close.

They started slowing down when they got to Cantral Park. Bucky was confused cause he had been there a million times but this felt different. The park looked the same, felt and even smelled the same… but something was off. Bucky put his guard up as he unknowingly gripped Steve tighter. Steve had a slight giggle as Bucky was on slight edge. The rest of the Avengers broke off and it was just Steve and Bucky. Bucky now was scared cause it was so… peaceful. Bucky hadnt ever really taken in his environment before. ‘Hey Bucky… relax.’ Steve led Bucky to a picnic setup. It had blue silver and red balloons tied down with all of Bucky’s favorite foods. ‘Steve what is this…?’ Steve sat down with the biggest grin on his face. Bucky followed suit. They were in the field part of central park. They saw the outline of the city and it looked perfect.

‘Here Buck, your first real present from me.’ Steve handed Bucky a gift and it made him blush. Inside was a book. 100 Things I love About You. Bucky almost hit Steve with the book- in a loving manner- ‘Steve I love this.’ Bucky kissed Steve as he kept unpacking the gift bag. Also inside was a jacket Steve had worn for a year so it smelled like him, a plush of Captain America and a sketchbook full of Steve’s art. Steve had other gifts for later but he handed Bucky a card. On the front was a golden retriever puppy dressed as Captain America. Inside it said ‘Happy Barkday to the greatest Super Soldier!’ Bucky saw that also there was $200 taped to the opposite side of the card. ‘Steve you didnt have to-‘ Steve shut Bucky up immediately and kissed him.

After eating the food Steve had surprised Bucky with, one more thing. ‘Ok Buck close your eyes.’ Bucky did as he was told. He felt Steve’s lips brush up on his cheek. Steve pulled out a Captain America shield birthday cake and put a 3 and a 0 candle on the cake. He lit the candles and saw Sam and Natasha come up behind him. The 3 of them sang happy birthday to Bucky softly while his eyes were patiently still closed. Bucky felt a sense of peace as they sang and opened his eyes slowly looking to see his friends people who cared so much abiut him. He saw Steve holding out the cake for him. He blushed and blushed hard. He remembered what Steve had said that morning and closed his eyes to blow out his candles. Forever is comprised of nows. His wish came true. Now…. Now he is surrounded but his friends and someone who loved him more than the world. 30 would’nt be such a bad year after all. Steve kissed him and said ‘Happy birthday Buck!’

obanai x reader / angst to fluff

⚠️ eating disorder, body image problems ⚠️

modern day au

r/n - restaurant name

AND DONT FORGET MY LOVELY READERS!! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! NEVER FEEL THE NEED TO CHANGE YOURSELF FOR VALIDATION FROM OTHERS! REPEAT AFTER ME..

I AM A BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, HUMAN BEING AND I MAKE PEOPLES LIVES BETTER

it's true! :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You stood in front of your mirror looking at your body. Why did you have to look like that? You thought your body looked horrible. How could anyone like you? The way your stomach puffed out every time you ate or the way your side profile looked. Suddenly, you heard your phone ding.

Walking over to your dresser, you picked up your phone and saw who texted you. Obanai. He was one of the only people you hung out with. You had become quite close to him over time, even as the loner he was.

- text message -

obanai - hey y/n...uh i was just wondering if you were available today? it's still pretty early, so i wanted to know if you could go out to dinner later. if not thats perfectly okay!

You read every word of it. A small blush spread across your face. Was he asking you out on a date? Or did he just want to hang out as friends? Ugh, why couldn't you understand?

- text message -

y/n - of course! i'd love to go with you! what time? and where?

obanai - oh thats great! i was thinking of r/n? and i can come to your house around 6 pm to pick you up? then we could probably walk there together since it's not too far.

y/n - oo i love that place! and that sounds great! i'll see you at 6 then.

obanai - alright.

It made you smile. Obanai always knew how to make you feel happy, even when you were feeling horrible about yourself.

- time skip -

It was around 5:56 pm when you heard your doorbell ring. You had just finished getting ready. You were wearing a very comfortable outfit with a coat on top. It was nearing winter so it was starting to get especially cold outside.

"Coming!", you yelled out from the top of your stairs. 

Quickly, you made your way down the stairs and opened your door. 

You saw Obanai standing there in a nice outfit, still wearing his mask. 

"Hi y/n! Are you ready to go?", he asked you. He was being awfully polite to you.

"Of course! I've been waiting all day!", you responded with a nice smile on your face. You swear you saw him blush for a second.

Together, the two of you walked down to the restaurant.

- time skip -

"Ah, it looks so beautiful!", you exclaimed. It really did, the front doors were decorated with flowers. The inside had a beautiful touch to it and everyone inside looked like they were having the time of their life. But at the same time, they all looked like they were couples. You began to feel a bit out of place.

You made your way to a waiter and they gladly took you to a table for two. Together the two of you sat down and ordered your food. You could barely wait for it to come!

- time skip to when the food got here -

After the plates were set down in front of you, you looked at your food. That's when you realized how much calories must be in it. You took your fork and just mostly picked at it. You thought that if you didn't eat as much, you would be skinnier, and look more "appealing" to people. Obanai took notice to this. 

He understood a bit how you felt. He felt embarrassed every time he had to pull down his mask and would have people staring at him like he was a demon. Even just being here eating with you made him feel embarrassed.

"Y/n? Why aren't you eating as much?", he asked politely.

"Oh I-...I just...uh..", you quickly scanned your head for an excuse. 

"I'm going to go to the bathroom...", you said before quickly running off.

Obanai just stared at you in the distance. He wasn't sure how to react. 

Once you got to the bathroom, you looked at yourself and immediately broke into tears. Had you just ruined your date? You felt embarrassed and scared that Obanai would think horribly of you now that you had done that. Why did you have to ruin everything? You hated yourself for that. From the bottom of your heart, you truly hated yourself.

- time skip to when you went back -

Nervously, you made your way back to the table where Obanai was still sitting. He had finished his food and was now just waiting for your return.

"Uh...Obanai? Is it alright if we go home? Sorry...", you said.

"Oh uh, of course! And it's fine you don't have to apologize for anything", he said in a calm manner. He didn't want to make you feel worse than you already had. 

The two of you quickly got the bill and made your way out of the restaurant. 

The way back to your house was awkward and uncomfortable, you weren't sure what to say and neither was he.

Finally, you made it back.

You glanced at the clock and realized the time. It had quickly gotten late and you remembered how far the walk to his house was. Feeling bad about how you acted earlier, you had to redeem yourself to him.

"Hey..Obanai?", you asked.

"Yeah, Y/n?", he responded.

"Do you want to stay the night? It's pretty late and I remember how far the walk back to your house is. It's completely fine if you don't want to!", you said very quickly. Almost too quickly for him to comprehend. 

"Oh...sure! Thanks", he said. This shocked you a bit. He really wanted to stay? Really? You ushered him inside and quickly shut the door. It was a bit embarrassing when you realized it was just the two of you inside your house. 

"Uh...anyways, I have an extra mattress upstairs so let's go up there!", you said, trying to break the awkward tension. He gave you a small nod and the two of you walked upstairs. You were a bit worried about how he'd react to your room. 

- time skip to after the two of you got comfy -

"Hey Y/n?", he said, quite randomly.

"Yeah? What is it?", you responded.

"Well I was just wondering...and it's alright if you don't want to answer but...why did you not eat your food earlier? "he said. This shocked you. What were you supposed to say? You had barely escaped that the first time so I suppose this time you were caught. 

"I..I uh...Well I thought if I didn't eat...maybe I could get skinnier...and then I'd look better", you said in a quiet voice. As quiet as you were trying to be, he still heard you, and hearing you say that made his heart break.

"But..But I think you look great as you are!", he exclaimed! He wasn't lying, he always had thought that you were pretty, and this was just the moment to prove his point. 

"You do?", you answered.

"Well of course! You're so strong and your body's great! No matter how much you eat!", he said with a smile on his face that you could see even through his mask.

"But I don't think that", you said. It was true, you really didn't. It'd been a very long time since you had.

All of a sudden you felt his hands around your waist as he took down his mask and kissed you. It was such a random act that you didn't have any time to react. But eventually, you melted into the kiss and wrapped your arms around his neck. 

"Y/n..I love you. I really do. I hope you can see that", he said. 

"I love you too, Obanai!", you responded with. You had been waiting for the moment that you could say this. It was the times with him that made you the happiest. How could you not fall in love with him?

The two of you considered kissing you and eventually fell into your bed, still passionately kissing each other.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

137,690

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly Doctor Who, but also RWBY, Star Wars, and a bunch of other stuff, most recently I've been writing for Dimension 20

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Build This House Into a Home: an NCIS au where Gibbs adopts a bunch of children (genuinely don't know why this had the most)

Not Again: a crossover between Gravity Falls and Amphibia

Everything After: a RWBY fic about the fallout of volume 9, which is currently unfinished but Im working on it I swear

I Beg to Differ: Also a RWBY fic about Yang and Ruby recovering from the events of volume 9

Mates: The Doctor and Donna being best friends :)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes! Mostly! I really try to respond to all of them but sometimes I forget to and then feel weird responding three months later

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Uhhhhh

angsiest fics as a whole is probably I Beg to Differ or Carry On, but my only one with an actual angsty ending is This Time which is a drabble about the Fifth doctor in the Caves of Androzani

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Yes.

Jokes aside its probably either Sunrise or The Many Proposals of Nyssa and Tegan since those end with couples getting together and marriage etc.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully not yet!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I've only written one so far! It was a crossover between Gravity Falls and Amphibia. I've had one planned for ages between ToH, GF, and Amphibia but haven't finished it.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, but I'd be down to try it sometime

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Don't do this to me

My favorite to write is probably Nyssa and Tegan? But I also love Bumbleby. And Imodna. And Beauyasha. and so many others. Dont make me pick

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I live in a world of clownery where I fully intended to finish all wips eventually (ignore the fact that some haven't been updated in literal years)(I'm working on them I swear)

16. What are your writing strengths?

I feel like I'm pretty good at characterization and voice. I've also gotten a lot better at description and image recently

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

action scenes can and will kill me. also I don't know why I write romance so much seeing as I have literally never dated anyone. Also I tend to struggle with longer projects, although I'm much better at it than I used to be.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Its fine but I prefer to be familiar with the language before writing it. And seeing as other than English I only know Latin, ancient greek, and ASL it doesn't come up often when writing fic

19. First fandom you wrote for?

...I plead the fifth

(It was ncis. on ff.net. like four years ago.)

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

ohhhhhh that's hard. I love The Many Proposals of Nyssa and Tegan, both because of the fic itself and also because it introduced me to some lovely fandom friends. Everything After is one I am particularly proud of, as is Raising Our Glass, I don't know if I could pick one

Tagging @social-mockingbird @writing-my-mind-ink and anyone else who wants to join :)

mwah

scatch what i said on that last post. idk her. im CHILLINGGGGG!!!

MarMon today: yes I celebrated. you gotta. duh. Patriot's Day-- a Mass thing!? Hilarious.

We went to the race and yelled and screamed and cheered on at various points. Walked a bunch. Got sunburnt in that shallow way, but my nose is pink. It was pretty emotional! So proud of everyone. Kept thinking that this is kind of one of the best things humanity can do. Anyway-- B)

Got sambas, lmfao?! Trying to look like a boy. Followed by some really good pasta. and then trying to look like a girl. i went to a frat! for the first time! i got champagne on my sambas. christened. the person who clocked me as queer at the party said "christened" after i had minutes prior. yeah. a good thing

- - i know the gender thing of it is ridiculous but for some reason my soft complicated body craves that sexual weirdness between men and women and particularly these young men and women in that..disgusting atmosphere. a disgusting atmosphere. really hungry for that generalization.. it's true. im really attracted to men

other than that^ being tough,

i went DANCINGGG!!!!!1!1!11!!11!!

and I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!111!1

What a GREAT night!!! i can't put into words how amazing i feel even though that is why i came here...shucks. has the moment past? did i spend too much time on the queue?

My foot is sore as I type this. I came home so inspired and read up on country swing vs other kinds (I knew jazz swing was the thing, and swing dancin aint line dancin !) then i listened to a lot of good music:

Slow Dancing - Aly & AJ * total classic for me lmao. damn they have the best spotify top 5

Let's Get Married - Bill Elliot Swing Orchestra * when i didn't yet understand that i had to look up **country** swing music. now i know ;) god i cant wait to go again

-- what is it?! i think its that i really love to dance, to move my body, to try and get it right, to improve? to be good? to have fun in a choreographed way. to conform. the do the correct thing. idk

here's what i think its really about: i think i like smootheness. and i like the click of a phenomenon you can't pull a word for. and short counts. and intention. and shape. mostly shape. beat, sure, too. i like beat. i like rising to it, and not tiring. i dont know how i get so obsessed. i need to go back. that was exactly what ive been looking for for months, and what i thought i found but only got in part in the club, which i go to for the dancing, the loud music, the blindingness. but i dont contribute there. my ears are filled but the sound can only vibrate me a little. im not, swung, literally. and i cant provide energy to the space like you can witcha boots awn. so yeah, i think thats really it. dancing. i fucking love dancing. ive always fucking loved dancing. for real! really! i never got that good, yeah. but i fucking loved it thats for sure. i always wanted someone to actually teach me shit. they didnt do that enough in theatre. maybe they did. maybe i just wasnt that talented. not now though. dead. fucking. ass. just input my entire work calendar that i have access to because this shits getting real my life is mine and theres fan fucking tastic things to be doing with it.

alright...i could continue...i'll pick up the rest in my dairy ;* not gonna get too personal, phew. uhm. eh hem.

That Don't Impress Me Much - Shania Twain

Tequila - Dan + Shay

End of Beginning - Djo * lmao i got on this because i saw some interview w him online as im jamminggugghh i got sucked in. then all this happened:

Change - Djo * so much better than the one blowin up btw

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Eurythmics, etc * i looked up more songs like Change :| hahaha. then all this happened:

Lifetime - Yves Tumor

Pop Song - Perfume Genius

Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics, etc

Here Comes Your Man - Pixies

Eye in the Wall - Perfume Genius

Boys - Amen Dunes * at this point my original mission is fucked. the intention's gone. i'm so far from where i started: country lovin

at the same time the joint i rolled before we went out and shared on the way home is getting its way through my system for sure. its approaching 2am, woah! full day tomorrow but not nearly as inspired at this one. this one's literally how you're supposed to live . well maybe beer not getting stolen at the bar mmmm. mhm. yeah i'll tack that on as well.

i didnt, dont, want to let go of tonight skrrreorgihveouhv!!!! uuuummm! yeah i should keep thinking about it. : ) : ) hehehehehe

21, 22 and 7 for the Alec ask game thing

yaaaay :) you all support my autism

21. their favorite place to be?

due to having spent his entire childhood in a cult which was constantly uprooting him and moving him around to random ass overcrowded households, alec is big on remaining as unattached 2 places as he is to everything else. life pro tip from alec you can't be sad about losing something if you never cared in the first place. so just dont care. about anything. ever.

anyway he likes his own base a whole lot it's comfortable and has cool decorations like a real castle for a real prince and it's All His. it makes him feel very successful in life and pleased with himself. speaking of alec's home. let's all look at him in his mcmansion again

22. do they sleep well at night?

alec vasil brushes his teeth (badly), puts on his fancy gay little pajamas, gets into his comfortable little king-sized bed (ft. nest of 4-5 pillows), tucks himself in, absentmindedly holds yet another pillow like it's a stuffed animal, drifts off within 10-20 minutes tops, sleeps for 7-9 consecutive hours, and has horrific deeply cerebral trauma nightmares the entire time. and then he wakes up and peacefully eats his captain crunch with 0 idea that anything is amiss.

(don't be fooled by the comfortable set-up he could sleep in the family guy death pose on a hostile architecture bench and still catch enough hours if he had to)

7. favorite animal? why?

i'm gonna be real i don't know if he has one :( i think he might not :(. he's not opinionated enough about random shit for that. but if he was going to pick smth he'd go w/ smth he finds funny like geese because they're evil bastards who bite ppl or whatever.

ask me more things about alec ooh you wanna ask me so bad

mcu but mostly just irondad, though i stopped writing that for a bit when a small (large) marauders obsession hit so now i write both depending on the fic im working on. also taken a side step into parkner recently

4. top five fics by kudos:

A Different Future - peter snaps one-shot

Futures are Made to be Broken - more in depth follow up to peter snaps one shot

The Best Day of Harley's Life (and the worst of Peter's) - classic field trip fic only harley is like the tourguide and makes it his mission to ruin peter's day. not actually parkner but for sure the beginning of my growing love for harley

Not my First Time - part of webpril challenge one-shot, tony and peter are stuck under a building, conversation ensue

Where Do You Think You're Going - urrrmmmm good question. its a whumptober one-shot so peter must get beat up. pretty sure its by quentin beck and his drones, lets assume tony finds him and saves the day (its less than 2000 words i could read it and find out but im lazy)

5. do you respond to comments?

i do my best!

6. what is the fic your wrote with the angstiest ending?

ermmm *checks notes* Is This It? springs to mind first. you know the deleted scene of tony snapping and seeing morgan? well in this one he sees peter, only peter is a good few years older and has sorted his life out a bit. its sad obvi, but also kind of happy? the end lines are sad sad though :( so either that or 01/11/81 (if you're a marauders fan you already know that date) which basically very closely follows remus throughout the entire day after james and lily are killed etc. its very angsty all the way through, mary is a sweetheart, and at the end he's left all alone...

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

most tbh. im going to say Past, Present, Yet to Come because that's my baby. (peter is the ghost of christmas present, tony is scrooge, only its like the ryan reynolds film spirited, very good)

8. do you get hate on fics?

nope! (and please dont :) )

9. do you write smut?

nah

10. craziest crossover:

well ive only ever written one and it was mcu/glee and there's a reason i never finished it (nor am linking it [insert skull emoji])

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that ive noticed

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

nope!

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

nope! im a solitary kinda guy

14. all time favourite ship?

what a question... wolfstar is a classic, ineffable husbands are precious to me, doctor/rose is nostalgic... i can't pick favourites

15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

besides all of them? all of them.

no but really there are so many and i have this problem of thinking of idea -> getting excited -> writing beginning -> not knowing where to take it -> get excited by new idea -> repeat. im working on it though and do genuinely plan to finish them all

16. what are your writing strengths?

yknow i honestly think my general writing is at a pretty good level. defo room for improvement but there always it, int there? id say that's a general strength, but specifically i think im goooood at making things angsty. and i love doing it so win win

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

well... finishing anything. plotting out full stories is a big problem. (though ive recently started a notebook for random ideas for fics and its helping) um... tbh i can struggle with everything from time to time. i think getting characters voices right can be hard cos i often find people saying things they would never say and having to go back and and put them straight. er,,, action can be next to impossible if The Vision isn't there.

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?

i dont have many. if its a language i cant read i just skim past and sometimes read an end note translation but if there's too much im just going to go with the flow

19. first fandom you wrote in?

mcu

20. favourite fic you've written?

again, Past, Present, Yet to Come is my babygirl. love him to pieces. can i say fics ive not finished yet? because parkner hunger games au and marauders doccy who are fire and one day will see the light of day (and get names)

tagging @winter-turtle @helloliriels erm ive forgotten everyone who has ever existed... @ anyone who i followed in the boopening who writes and @ anyone who just wants to (no pressure at all obvi)

Failed Protection

Matildas age: (15 years old)

Time period: Matilda living with Pat Halstead

Word count: 

Tw: Child Abuse, Yelling, Death  and Hospitals, honestly very horrible writing

When I tell you I hate this one I HATE IT. But then again this is my last matilda halstead story before I can finally move on to reader stories :) changed the ending because i dont want to make a part two and don't plan on it either. Took this from my wattpad too

Matties POV

It was one of the coldest days in chicago. It was snowing heavily and I could feel the cold though the three layers I was wearing. Yet my dad made me go out and get milk and eggs.

Making my way through the front door I could already hear my dad yelling at me for not getting the “right milk”, I wasn't able to find the milk he wanted but it'll have to do. 

“MATILDA” i heard my dad yelling for already knowing what's about to happen 

“Yeah dad?’

“This isn't the milk i like to drink, why did you get this one.” he screamed “how stupid are you matilda?” 

“I couldn't find it where it usually was so I picked one that was close enough to the one you like.”

“WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU LOOK HARDER?” Just then he stood up and slapped me “you are more of a disappointment than your brothers.”

“I'm sorry dad.” i cried as i held my cheek 

“Yeah right you're sorry, now clean this mess up before I throw you out of my house.” he said while walking to his room and slamming the door.

“Where's Will and Jay when I need them…”

***

Jays Pov

“Hey hailey and jay we have a noise complaint near you guys do you think you can take since you're close by?” Hank radioed

'`Yeah of course we don't mind, do we jay?’

“Yeah we dont”

Small 5 minute time skip cause id, what else to put here.

“Let's make this quick, I need to call my sister and check up on her.” i said knocking on the door

“You still talk to your sister? Hailey said. Didn't you say that your dad destroyed her phone or something?” 

“Yeah but i gave dad 2k for himself and to buy her new phone.” he replied

Your dad may have gotten you a new phone but that just gave him another excuse to yell at you because his “son” had to give him money, and that you should just work to buy a new phone instead of others getting it for you. 

Just then the door opened and me and hailey turned our heads towards the door… “Mattie? What are you doing here?” I immediately spoke

“Its nothing, you guys should go dads asleep, and someone probably got the wrong apartment number” she spoke quietly

“We got a noise complaint from your next door neighbor. Can we come in?” Hailey spoke

“Uh..” She looked out towards a door than agreed to let us in “Yeah sure”

The place looks clean, not perfectly clean but if i'm honest my place has looked worse than this many times. Me and Hailey looked around a bit before leaving.

“Maybe we didn't get the wrong number, our previous apartment never looked that clean and I didn't see any beer bottles all over the place.” I said while walking towards the stairs

“Yeah sometimes people call the wrong num-” Hailey was cut off by a crash, screaming and yelling

“MATTIE!” jay yelled as he and hailey pulled out their guns

“MATTIE WERE COMING IN!” Jay yelled as he kicked the front door in

When the door opened jay and hailey found pat screaming at mattie while holding a broken beer bottle which he had obviously hit mattie on the head. Jay tackled pat to the ground, he didn't care if that was his dad. At this moment Mattie was his biggest priority.

“This is 50-21 gorge we're gonna need some back and an ambo, and get CPS on the line” Hailey radioed in while walking to Matilda

***

No Ones Pov (I have no explanation on why she ran so i’ll just do whatever)

So basically Pat started yelling at both Jay and Mattie and Mattie couldn't take the yelling anymore so she just needed a break.

“MATTIE COME BACK” Jay shouted while running after her 

***

Running from Jay I slipped on black ice. Making my phone go flying into the air falling on top of  a pile of snow.

Climbing the snow I'm thinking “Whoever was in the snow plow did a terrible job and probably will be fired.

I finally got my phone a thought i should text jay and say sorry for running off like that

Me: Hey sorry for running off i just had to walk out

JJ: It’s fine, where are you so me and hailey come get you. It's almost 11 degrees out mattie.

I was about to send my location to Jay but then the snow caved in on me and that's when I realized that this was a snow bank. It was more than twice your height. You tried to push out with your hands but that just caused more snow to fall on top of you.

Everytime you tried to push up you would fall down more into the snow. At this point you gave up and started shouting “Help, Help”. 

God, you were freezing 

***

Jays POV

“Come on Mattie, answer” Jay said while trying to call mattie

“She not answering?” Hailey asks while pressing the gas pedal faster

No, Voight, I need you guys at this location now. Matties missing and her phone was last pinned there.

“Alright we're on our way”

“Matilda, are you here?” I yelled while shining my flashlight

“Gosh this city is horrible at plowing snow” Adam stated 

“Adam we don't have time to criticize the snow plowers of this city” Hailey argued

“Just trying to start some conversation” 

Kim just gave adam a glare too shut up and keep searching

While shining my flashlight I saw a familiar item. That looks like the phone case I got for Matilda last week as a pre christmas because she wouldn't stop bothering me on how she wanted a new one. That also looked like her phone, I picked the phone up and saw the home screen was a picture of Me, Her and Will on it…

Seeing a hole I look inside and immediately get on my hands and knees yelling for everyone to come over. “I need some help over here”

Kelly, Selvie and Hailey pulled Matilda out and I just stood there in shock not being able to move. My little sister, who my mom told me to look after. I left her with that man who is horrible which led to her being in a snowbank. 

“50-21 Gorge I need you to roll and ambo to my location. We have a hypothermic victim.” Hailey radioed.

“Ambo is 7 minutes out”

This is where i changed everything i had in mid a month ago

When Jay checked her pulse again he didn't feel anything and immediately started cpr. Eventually Hailey had to pull Jay away because Jay had failed, he failed on what his mom told him, he failed to protect her. She was gone and he couldn't do anything about it, and he and Will were gonna have to live with it…for the rest of their lives…

The end. Like I said , I hate it, but let me add my detail(ish) stuff and get it over with. Haven't even been working on part two to Believe me that much so i’ll work on it tomorrow. (it just feel bleh posting this and i can’t even)

Kinda a good way to end the Matilda Halstead thing with this so its the only thing i can agree with this story

13 + 16 for the book asks!

OHH SPICYY I LIKE

13. What were your least favorite books of the year?

hmm i wanted to do top 5 but there are only 4 i feel are really noteworthy:

-bunny by mona awad. not necessarily bad, not necessarily good. i did not enjoy most of the reading experience and mostly just wanted it to be over, but i'm not sure if it's because i was simply uncomfortable reading a thriller/horror novel or if it really was kinda insufferable. it def had insufferable elements, and i feel that every book that tries to be a satire of pretentious academic settings has the element of the insufferable in its design.. it's a don't wanna beat them, dont wanna join them kinda deal the way i see them. not really my thing, but i had heard it was going to be weird and intriguing and it definitely was.. but still, i was unsure what to think of it at the end and the reading experience was so stressful to me that i don't really want to go back and try to get to the heart of the matter.. so it's behind me now!

-babel by r. f. kuang. this book is also not necessarily a bad book. i just feel that it had a delicious potential in its themes (oh god..) but it was kinda uninterested in exploring its own potential.. too much is revealed to the reader in exposition too soon instead of the secrets and peculiarities of the world being gradually revealed, which imo makes it a poorly written fantasy. i also found the pacing to be poor, it was a long book and it still felt rushed to me. it did have its moments though and the writing was way easier to digest in its whole.

-carmilla by sheridan le fanu. now we're crossing into actually bad territory. this is a reread, but my first time reading it in english and not in translation. nope, i still think it's bad! outside of its role in canonizing the vampire, and the lesbian vampire at that, it's just not a good read to my eyes! dont even waste time coming over to revoke my lesbian card for speaking on this, i'll had it over willingly idgaf <3

-hex by rebecca dinerstein knight. if you've never heard of this book before, keep it this way is my advice.. yo... it's bad.... niche book club pick that we all ended up regretting. at least it was short and i could knock down the audiobook in a day, but at what cost! it still sucked! an actually poorly written and insufferable book.

16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?

i understand why it's hyped and loved, but in terms of a book not living up to my expectations, babel

in terms of me liking a book (series, in this case) but for my own reasons removed from the reason everyone else recced it to me for, the locked tomb series

#ty for giving me my much needed chance to be a hater! ty for respecting the natural biodiversity of this blog.. needs a hater post to feed #the soil once in a while.. #thalassiokhtos #the locked tomb's constant memeing and writing style grind my gears so bad but it still got me #still got me! #asks #ευχαριστω πολυ και καλη χρονιααααα <3
