Scripts - S6 - Episode 42 (Part 1 of 3)

Leadup / cutesy bits. Sorry, I haven't put these in their routes or anything it's just bulk so you can find the dialogue.

NARRATOR: We’ve had romances, pranks, twin twists and bombshells…

NARRATOR: Casa Amor chaos, Movie Night mayhem, and so many grand gestures!

NARRATOR: Even more gestures than I got from the other people in line at passport control when I tried out my new stand up set on them.

NARRATOR: I say grand gestures… their gestures were mainly obscene.

NARRATOR: {0} has just made a much more romantic gesture. But has it won {1}’s heart?

{0} smiles expectantly, and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, waiting for your reply.

{0}_HAPPY: So what do you think? Wanna be my girlfriend?

A million times yes!

PLAYER_HAPPY: A million times yes!

{0}_HAPPY: For real?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Of course!

{0}_HAPPY: Honestly, that means so much to me.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: It’s been such a journey getting to this point together.

{0}_HAPPY: I was starting to overthink it. I was so nervous asking.

{0}_HAPPY: Wow, {1}, you don’t know how happy I am.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I think I’m starting to.

Amelia and Grace gasp with excitement.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I was hoping you’d ask me.

{0}_HAPPY: I was waiting for the perfect moment.

{0}_FLIRTY: But I couldn’t dream of anything more perfect than being here with you tonight.

{0}_HAPPY: Oh man, I sound so sappy.

{0}_IDLE: I mean every word though.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I can’t believe you’re my girlfriend!

{0}_HAPPY: I’m about to be the best girlfriend the world has ever seen.

{0}_FLIRTY: You know those best teacher mugs?

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Yeah?

{0}_FLIRTY: You’ll be getting me a best gf one very soon.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Big statement.

{0}_HAPPY: I’m gonna nail it. I promise.

Kiss her

With the night sky twinkling above you, you lean slowly towards {0}.

She caresses your cheek and you kiss delicately, breathing in the moment.

This moment is etched into your love story forever. You wrap your arms around her neck and fall deeper into her lips.

You’re both smiling when you finally pull apart, staying locked in each other’s arms.

Your fellow Islanders cheer and clap. Amelia looks misty-eyed.

Pull her into a hug

With the moon as your backdrop, you pull {0} into a beautiful embrace.

You bury your head in her shoulder and feel her stroking the small of your back.

You stay locked in each other’s arms even when you break apart.

Neither one of you wanting this moment to end.

Your fellow Islanders cheer and clap. Amelia looks misty-eyed.

{0}_IDLE: I came alive when I first saw you in Casa Amor.

{0}_SURPRISED: Really?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Of course, why?

{0}_HAPPY: I’ve given every reason to say no haven’t I?

{0}_EMBARRASSED: I came in here with a plan and it was the wrong plan.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: And my execution was all wrong and I botched things pretty badly.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: I let my impulsiveness and insecurity cloud my judgement.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: And I made a whole series of mistakes. One in particular.

{0}_FLIRTY: No offence, Amelia.

AMELIA_SURPRISED: None taken. You were my summer mistake too, Marshall.

{0}_FLIRTY: Anyway, {1}, you’re way out of my league.

{0}_FLIRTY: And I want you to know that I’ll never forget how lucky I am to have you.

{0}_IDLE: I couldn’t be more excited for whatever wild journey we have together.

Grace gasps with excitement. Amelia gives a genuine smile.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I was hoping you’d ask me.

{0}_HAPPY: I was waiting for the perfect moment.

{0}_FLIRTY: But I couldn’t dream of anything more perfect than being here with you.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: You like me…

{0}_HAPPY: This is just the beginning for us.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah?

{0}_IDLE: Maybe we didn’t have the best start.

You and the girls settle down on the terrace for your last debrief before the results!

AMELIA_HAPPY: Me too.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: I feel emotional already.

PLAYER_HAPPY: It’s been a big night.

{0}_HAPPY: I’m so pumped that we’re all here together, in the final!

{0}_HAPPY: We made it together.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Here we are!

{0}_FLIRTY: I feel like I already won.

{0}_HAPPY: Don’t need that money.

GRACE_HAPPY: I’ll take it then.

{0}_FLIRTY: Steady on. Said I don’t need, never said I don’t want it…

AMELIA_HAPPY: I’m still buzzing from those declarations to be honest.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I’m Toby’s girlfriend.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: I’m dating an underwear model.

GRACE_FLIRTY: Lucky girl.

So happy for you

PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m honestly so happy for you!

PLAYER_HAPPY: You two are made for each other, that’s clear to see.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I’m glad you think so!

AMELIA_HAPPY: It feels like a dream.

I do think it’s too soon

PLAYER_IDLE: It’s too soon.

PLAYER_IDLE: Boyfriend is a bit premature.

PLAYER_IDLE: You haven’t known each other long enough.

AMELIA_IDLE: I love you, but I disagree.

AMELIA_HAPPY: He’s for me, I know it.

Boring

PLAYER_IDLE: Boyfriend talk is boring.

AMELIA_IDLE: You gotta be joking.

AMELIA_HAPPY: We’re in the Love Island final.

AMELIA_HAPPY: We’re gonna be talking about our boys.

AMELIA_IDLE: Or girls.

GRACE_HAPPY: He’s so into you.

{0}_FLIRTY: It’s gross.

She blows Amelia a kiss.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Oi!

GRACE_HAPPY: I couldn’t help but say yes to Oz.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: I know we haven’t been perfect.

GRACE_IDLE: I get that he hasn’t been very consistent.

GRACE_SAD: Obviously I’ve made some mistakes too.

{0}_IDLE: Ol’ Hamish?

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: Do not remind me.

GRACE_IDLE: But there’s something in the air tonight.

GRACE_HAPPY: It’s all so magical.

GRACE_HAPPY: I wanted to say yes.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: I hope it was the right decision for me, for us.

It’s right for you both

PLAYER_HAPPY: It was, Grace.

PLAYER_IDLE: Sure you’ve both had your moments.

PLAYER_HAPPY: But the fact that you’ve made it here together says everything.

AMELIA_HAPPY: She’s right. You gotta have faith in you two.

{0}_HAPPY: He’s really been trying.

AMELIA_IDLE: And if he messes up again, then we riot.

{0}_SERIOUS: No prisoners.

{0}_HAPPY: But he won’t!

Should’ve pied him

PLAYER_IDLE: Personally, I think you should’ve pied him.

PLAYER_IDLE: He’s had too many second chances.

GRACE_SURPRISED: I thought you said to be official with him?!

PLAYER_IDLE: You were on the spot, had to say something…

GRACE_IDLE: Well, I appreciate you looking out for me, {0}.

GRACE_SAD: I do get what you’re saying.

AMELIA_IDLE: You have to make your own choices though, Grace.

{0}_IDLE: Of course we all feel a bit protective.

{0}_HAPPY: But Oz is a good guy.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I do think he might have changed a lot during his time here.

GRACE_HAPPY: I really hope so.

Ugh, more boy talk

PLAYER_IDLE: Ugh, no more boy talk.

GRACE_IDLE: I like when we all give each other boy advice.

GRACE_IDLE: It makes me feel better having you girls round me.

AMELIA_HAPPY: We’re here for you, Grace.

AMELIA_IDLE: Even {0}. She’s just being contrary.

PLAYER_IDLE: Hmmmm.

{0}_IDLE: At the end of the day, you did what you felt was right.

AMELIA_HAPPY: He likes you! You like him!

AMELIA_HAPPY: You’re in the final together.

GRACE_HAPPY: Thanks, girls.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: I appreciate you girls looking out for me back there.

GRACE_SAD: You’ve really got my back.

GRACE_SAD: Especially you, {0}.

GRACE_SAD: If you hadn’t spoken up I would have been official with him right not.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Just trying to look out for you.

{0}_SAD: Yeah, I guess he’s just not the one. You knew that deep down.

GRACE_SAD: Yeah, I did. I hope I didn’t hurt him.

GRACE_IDLE: But I’m glad it’s done and we can just get to the end as friends.

AMELIA_HAPPY: That’s the spirit!

GRACE_HAPPY: Love you girls.

{0}_HAPPY: We love you too!

GRACE_HAPPY: Marshall was cute, wasn’t he?

AMELIA_HAPPY: He was very sweet.

AMELIA_IDLE: I genuinely think he’s a great boy.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Who knows, maybe he could be good for you, Grace?

{0}_HAPPY: Be open to it.

{0}_FLIRTY: If you feel a vibe.

GRACE_IDLE: I am happy for you and Ozzy, {0}.

GRACE_SAD: But I guess part of me did think it would be me and him coupled up for the final.

I can understand that

PLAYER_IDLE: I can understand that, I hope you’re ok.

GRACE_IDLE: I will be, thank you, {0}.

GRACE_HAPPY: I’ll get over him, it might take some more time.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Focus on Marshall, and if he’s not for you…

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Just wait till we get out of here.

{0}_FLIRTY: I bet there are boys queuing up for a date with a gal like you.

GRACE_HAPPY: Yay! You’re all right.

He’s mine though

PLAYER_IDLE: Well, he’s mine though.

PLAYER_IDLE: It can’t be helped.

GRACE_IDLE: I know that. I’ll move on, I promise.

AMELIA_IDLE: We know you will.

{0}_IDLE: Put some focus on Marshall.

{0}_HAPPY: But first, straighten your crown!

GRACE_HAPPY: Thanks, girls.

You’re better with Marsh

PLAYER_HAPPY: I truly think you’re better with Marshall.

PLAYER_IDLE: Ozzy was never the boy for you.

GRACE_IDLE: I’m sure you’re right.

AMELIA_IDLE: You’re right where you’re supposed to be.

{0}_HAPPY: The future holds big things for you, Grace.

{0}_HAPPY: For all of us too.

{0}_HAPPY: I know I’m not loved up.

{0}_HAPPY: But it does feel great to be in the final with one of my besties.

GRACE_HAPPY: Platonic love is special too.

AMELIA_HAPPY: You two have the best energy.

{0}_HAPPY: But {1} is a sweetheart. I’m happy to be here with him.

{0}_HAPPY: I can see us being great friends.

{0}_FLIRTY: He said he’s always wanted to go to Australia too!

GRACE_HAPPY: You two have great bff energy.

{0}_IDLE: Sure there’s nothing romantic between me and {1}.

{0}_HAPPY: But I’m happy to be here with you girls.

{0}_FLIRTY: Course maybe I would’ve rather been in the final with somebody else.

PLAYER_IDLE: Oops.

She rolls her eyes jokily at you.

{0}_HAPPY: But I’m happy anyway.

AMELIA_HAPPY: What about {0} declaration though, {1}?

It was a dream

PLAYER_HAPPY: It felt like a dream come true.

PLAYER_HAPPY: The flowers, the dresses, the stars.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Standing up there with the one person I like the most.

You smile at {0}, she puts her hands up to her cheeks and smiles back.

{0}_HAPPY: I can’t stop smiling.

AMELIA_HAPPY: It was like a movie scene.

It was cringe

PLAYER_IDLE: I felt like it was a bit cringe, if I’m honest.

AMELIA_SURPRISED: Oh what?

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Oh, um.

{0}_IDLE: I definitely didn’t want it to be cringe.

{0}_FLIRTY: Guess I’m just a cringe girl when it comes to you.

I’m processing it all

PLAYER_IDLE: I’m still processing it all.

PLAYER_IDLE: It was a lot to take in.

{0}_IDLE: Hopefully in a good way.

AMELIA_IDLE: It’s definitely an overwhelming night.

AMELIA_HAPPY: But you’ve got {0} with you the whole way.

GRACE_HAPPY: And us.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I just gotta say it again, we’re in the final!

{0}_HAPPY: It doesn’t feel real!

GRACE_HAPPY: I wonder who will win.

GRACE_IDLE: I’m thinking it won’t be me and Oz.

GRACE_HAPPY: We’ve been a bit too rocky.

{0}_IDLE: You never know.

AMELIA_HAPPY: It absolutely could be you two!

GRACE_IDLE: I don’t think it’ll be me and Marshall.

GRACE_HAPPY: We’re a bit too new.

GRACE_FLIRTY: Pretty sure I don’t even know his favourite colour yet.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Let’s say tattoo ink green.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh dear…

AMELIA_HAPPY: I think you two are in with a chance!

{0}_HAPPY: You never know.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I think it’ll be any of you girls.

Amelia gestures over at you and {0}.

AMELIA_HAPPY: You two would be incredible winners.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I’d cry.

{0}_HAPPY: Awwww, I think it could be you and Toby though!

It could be any of us

PLAYER_HAPPY: It really could be any of us.

PLAYER_HAPPY: We’re all worthy winners in our own ways.

PLAYER_IDLE: We’ve all had unique journeys.

PLAYER_HAPPY: We’ll just have to wait and see.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I couldn’t have said it any better.

GRACE_HAPPY: Damn right.

It’ll be me

PLAYER_IDLE: It’ll be me. I know it.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Me and {0}.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: We’re the best couple.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: I’m not sure you’re supposed to say that out loud, {1}.

{0}_HAPPY: I’m happy that you’re so confident about us though.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Very confident.

GRACE_IDLE: We love a confident girl, I guess.

It won’t be me

PLAYER_IDLE: It won’t be me and {0}.

AMELIA_SURPRISED: You don’t know that!

{0}_IDLE: I hope we’ve got as much chance as anyone else in here.

{0}_HAPPY: I’m sure people will have seen our genuine connection.

GRACE_HAPPY: I think you’re wrong, {0}.

GRACE_HAPPY: You might be surprised.

PLAYER_IDLE: We’ll see.

GRACE_HAPPY: I guess I don’t really care who wins.

PLAYER_IDLE: How come?

GRACE_SAD: Well all I know is that I’m gonna miss all of you babes so much.

GRACE_SAD: Not waking up to your beautiful faces in the morning.

AMELIA_SAD: Aw stop, I didn’t wanna think about that.

{0}_SAD: I’ll miss getting ready together.

{0}_SAD: Our spontaneous girl chats.

{0}_HAPPY: You’re all the best.

GRACE_HAPPY: It wouldn’t have been the same without you girls.

GRACE_FLIRTY: Yeah the boys are ok, but I hope we all stay in contact.

GRACE_HAPPY: I can give you all the most fabulous hair makeovers of your lives.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Oh, yes please!

{0}_HAPPY: Girls’ trip to Australia?

GRACE_HAPPY: Can I meet a koala?

{0}_HAPPY: Oh sure, all Aussies have the koalas on speed dial don’t ya know?

GRACE_FLIRTY: Very funny.

{0}_HAPPY: I’m sure I can arrange a koala day.

{0}_HAPPY: You’re all coming to the ballet, right?

GRACE_HAPPY: I’d love to! Dress up all classy and sit in the front row?

{0}_FLIRTY: You can come backstage.

{0}_HAPPY: You’re all coming to my next Ibiza residency, right?

GRACE_HAPPY: I’ll be there, dancing wildly in front of the DJ booth.

{0}_FLIRTY: Maybe I’ll even let you girls stand up there with me.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Do you take requests? Because I will be asking every five seconds.

{0}_SERIOUS: No.

{0}_FLIRTY: But definitely for you though, {1}.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I was gonna say!

AMELIA_HAPPY: You really are all wonderful.

AMELIA_HAPPY: This has been the best summer ever.

Let’s have a hug

PLAYER_HAPPY: Let’s have a group hug, girls.

You pull the girls into a final group hug.

GRACE_SAD: Aw, I’m getting teary.

AMELIA_SAD: I’m off again.

{0}_SAD: I never cry but even I feel a little bit misty.

PLAYER_SAD: We’ll see each other again.

PLAYER_HAPPY: We’ll have a group chat.

GRACE_HAPPY: Perfect!

AMELIA_HAPPY: Great plan.

{0}_HAPPY: We’ll pester each other with memes.

{0}_FLIRTY: Love Island memes.

I’ll miss you all

PLAYER_SAD: I’ll miss all of you.

PLAYER_HAPPY: You’ve all been part of my journey.

GRACE_HAPPY: We’ll still see each other all the time.

GRACE_HAPPY: I know it.

AMELIA_HAPPY: You’re stuck with me.

{0}_HAPPY: And I’m pretty sure you’re stuck with me too.

{0}_HAPPY: Can’t break a bond like ours.

{0}_HAPPY: Best gals for life.

I won’t miss you

PLAYER_IDLE: I won’t miss you.

PLAYER_IDLE: We’ve been around each other too much.

AMELIA_IDLE: Oh, you don’t mean that.

GRACE_IDLE: I’ve loved it.

{0}_IDLE: I hope you’ll miss me.

{0}_HAPPY: Well, I say you can’t break a bond like ours.

{0}_HAPPY: Best gals for life.

I’ll miss the boys

PLAYER_IDLE: I’ll miss the boys.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Ew, you don’t mean that.

GRACE_IDLE: Us girls have got to stick together.

{0}_IDLE: I hope you’ll miss me!

{0}_FLIRTY: We’re so much cooler than the boys.

{0}_HAPPY: You know that, {1}.

GRACE_SAD: It must be time to head down to the Firepit.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: I’m so nervous.

GRACE_HAPPY: But also excited.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I’ve got butterflies.

{0}_IDLE: Can we have one last chat, just us two?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Of course!

{0} pops his head through the door to the terrace.

{0}_IDLE: Sorry to interrupt.

{0}_HAPPY: Was hoping to pull {1} for a quick chat before the results.

AMELIA_HAPPY: We’ll meet you down there.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Come on then.

{0} leads you towards the gym.

You share an exercise mat, lying side-by-side under the starry sky.

{0}_HAPPY: I had to get you alone, just for a few moments before we face whatever comes next.

PLAYER_HAPPY: We can see the stars from here.

{0}_HAPPY: Exactly. I feel like they’ve really made an appearance tonight.

{0}_FLIRTY: For you.

{0}_HAPPY: I see them in your eyes.

Are you captivated?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Are you captivated by them?

{0}_FLIRTY: By them…

{0}_FLIRTY: By you…

{0}_HAPPY: And everything you do.

Let me blink them out

PLAYER_IDLE: Oh, hang on. Let me blink them out.

{0}_HAPPY: You couldn’t, even if you wanted to.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Damn it.

They look better in yours

PLAYER_FLIRTY: They look better in your eyes.

{0}_FLIRTY: Not even close.

{0}_HAPPY: I brought you to the gym because we had our first proper chat here.

{0}_FLIRTY: I still remember you complimenting my abs.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Oh man, I did.

{0}_HAPPY: You were not impressed by my abs.

{0}_FLIRTY: Or maybe you were just pretending.

PLAYER_IDLE: You’ll never know…

{0}_HAPPY: Did you ever think we’d make it to this point together?

I had total faith

PLAYER_HAPPY: I had total faith in us.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I knew we’d make it here together.

{0}_HAPPY: Good, because there’s nobody I’d rather be with.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Even if I almost messed it up with the whole Grace situation.

{0}_IDLE: It’s you. I promise it’s you.

{0}_HAPPY: I’ve finally met my match.

Honestly, no

PLAYER_IDLE: Honestly?

{0}_HAPPY: Yeah, don’t hold back.

PLAYER_IDLE: I didn’t think we’d make it.

{0}_SAD: I understand why you’d feel that way.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: The whole Grace situation was not fair.

{0}_IDLE: But I promise I’ve learnt from my mistakes.

{0}_HAPPY: We’ve battled all those twists and turns.

{0}_HAPPY: And here we are, back where it all started.

I wasn’t sure

PLAYER_IDLE: I wasn’t sure.

PLAYER_IDLE: It’s hard to be sure in the Love Island Villa.

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Plus, the whole Grace thing.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: She really isn’t on my mind.

{0}_IDLE: I want you, only you.

{0}_HAPPY: I know you’re the girl I want to be with.

{0}_HAPPY: It’s all been leading up to this point.

{0}_HAPPY: We’re moments away from finding out the winners.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: I know, I can’t believe it!

{0}_IDLE: But we’re all so close to leaving the villa…

{0}_IDLE: That’s gonna be a bit weird, isn’t it?

I’ve got you with me

PLAYER_HAPPY: I’ve got you by my side.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I feel like we can face anything.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Even though it’s going to be a lot.

{0}_HAPPY: Damn right you do.

{0}_FLIRTY: If you want me, I’m there.

{0}_HAPPY: Holding your hand the whole time.

I’m ready to get out

PLAYER_IDLE: I’m seriously ready to head home.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m ready for the outside world.

{0}_IDLE: I feel that. There are so many things we have to experience together.

{0}_HAPPY: But I’ll always love this place for bringing us together.

I’ll miss this place

PLAYER_SAD: I actually think I’ll miss this place.

PLAYER_IDLE: The friends, the sun, the pool, the drama.

{0}_HAPPY: The vibes?

PLAYER_HAPPY: The vibes for sure!

{0}_HAPPY: We’ll always have this incredible experience.

{0}_HAPPY: We’ll always have these friends.

{0}_FLIRTY: I’ll make sure I always bring the vibes too.

{0} smiles and reaches out a hand to take yours.

Hold hands

You reach out and your hands clasp together.

{0}_HAPPY: I’ve got you, {1}.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I’ve got you too.

Smile back

You smile back at {0}.

{0}_HAPPY: We’ve got this, {1}.

PLAYER_IDLE: I know.

{0} gives your hand a little squeeze.

{0}_IDLE: Let me tell you what I do when I need to feel calm and ready.

{0}_IDLE: I usually get the most nervous before an audition.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: It can be really intense and it’s even worse if you don’t get picked.

PLAYER_IDLE: So, how do you cope?

{0}_HAPPY: I have a pair of lucky socks…

PLAYER_SURPRISED: Socks?

{0}_HAPPY: Yep, socks!

{0}_IDLE: It might be a cliché, but they really do help.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Um, what kind of socks are they?

{0}_IDLE: They’re pretty regular socks, until you see the bottom of my feet.

{0}_HAPPY: They’ve got little friendly snakes on them.

{0}_HAPPY: Patrick the snake.

PLAYER_IDLE: Why snakes, and why Patrick?

{0} shifts uncomfortably beside you.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Well, it’s a bit embarrassing really.

{0}_IDLE: Especially because of how we were both acting towards each other.

PLAYER_IDLE: We? As in, you and I?

{0}_EMBARRASSED: No, Marshall and I.

{0}_HAPPY: When me and Marsh were younger, we really wanted a pet snake.

{0}_IDLE: But our mum was not keen.

{0}_HAPPY: So we adopted an imaginary snake.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Called Patrick?

{0}_HAPPY: You got it.

{0}_IDLE: He actually bought me the socks right before my first ever audition.

{0}_HAPPY: And I booked that job right away.

{0}_IDLE: Been wearing them whenever I need to feel lucky.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: I wash them, of course…

{0}_IDLE: And that’s why Marshall has the snake tattoo on his arm.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: Ah, of course!

PLAYER_HAPPY: Did you bring them with you?

{0}_FLIRTY: Guess you’d never be able to tell.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: True.

{0}_IDLE: They remind me of how close me and Marsh used to be.

{0}_SAD: Of how close I hope we can be again.

{0}_IDLE: And if I do have them with me…

{0}_FLIRTY: There’s a chance I’ve worn them when I’ve needed the courage to talk to you.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh yeah?

{0}_HAPPY: I really care about you, {1}.

I love that story

PLAYER_HAPPY: I loved that story.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I feel so close to you.

{0}_HAPPY: I feel so close to you too, {1}.

{0}_IDLE: I wanted to take our minds off of the final for a moment.

PLAYER_HAPPY: It was perfect.

What was the point of that?

PLAYER_IDLE: What was the point of that story again?

{0}_EMBARRASSED: To tell you how I cope with nerves.

{0}_IDLE: To show you a little bit more of who I am.

{0}_HAPPY: And to take our mind off of the final for a moment.

PLAYER_IDLE: Oh, yeah.

{0}_HAPPY: I wish we could stay here.

{0}_HAPPY: I don’t want this to end.

{0}_SURPRISED: But I can see the others at the Firepit.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: We should go join them!

You and {0} walk towards the Firepit, still holding hands.

You and {0} walk towards the Firepit.

{0} leads you towards the loungers.

You share one, lying side-by-side under the starry sky.

{0}_HAPPY: I had to get you alone, just for a few moments before we face whatever comes next.

PLAYER_HAPPY: We can see the stars from here.

{0}_HAPPY: Exactly. I feel like they’ve really made an appearance tonight.

{0}_FLIRTY: For you.

{0}_HAPPY: I see them in your eyes.

Are you captivated?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Are you captivated by them?

{0}_FLIRTY: By them…

{0}_FLIRTY: By you…

{0}_HAPPY: And everything you do.

Let me blink them out

PLAYER_IDLE: Oh, hang on. Let me blink them out.

{0}_HAPPY: You couldn’t, even if you wanted to.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Damn it.

They look better in yours

PLAYER_FLIRTY: They look better in your eyes.

{0}_FLIRTY: Not even close.

{0}_HAPPY: From Casa, to the final.

{0}_HAPPY: What a journey.

{0}_HAPPY: And now we’re exclusive.

{0}_IDLE: This is very unusual for me.

{0}_HAPPY: I never fall this fast.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Is that the truth?

{0}_IDLE: 100% the truth.

{0}_HAPPY: I can’t believe we’re here.

{0}_HAPPY: Feels like yesterday that I came into the villa and stole you away.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Maybe I wanted to be stolen.

{0}_FLIRTY: Feels like yesterday I saw you coming and stole my first chat with you.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: You got to me before the others.

{0}_HAPPY: I must have made a pretty good impression.

{0}_HAPPY: Feels like yesterday that I first saw you in Casa.

{0}_FLIRTY: With your magnetic aura.

{0}_HAPPY: I couldn’t help but gravitate towards you.

{0}_HAPPY: Now you’re my girlfriend.

{0}_FLIRTY: I love saying that out loud.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Because it’s true.

{0}_HAPPY: We’re in the final together!

{0}_HAPPY: From Day 1, all the way to the end.

{0}_HAPPY: From Day 2, all the way to the end.

{0}_HAPPY: I get to stand there at the Firepit with you as my girlfriend.

PLAYER_HAPPY: We’re nearly there!

{0}_HAPPY: We’re in the final together!

{0}_FLIRTY: I was so excited for you to come back from Casa Amor.

{0}_HAPPY: I knew we would fit together so well.

{0}_FLIRTY: To be exclusive is just the best bonus.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I know!

{0}_HAPPY: We’re in the final!

{0}_FLIRTY: From pirates to prom dates.

{0}_HAPPY: To girlfriends!

PLAYER_HAPPY: What a wild ride.

{0}_HAPPY: I can’t believe we’re here!

{0}_HAPPY: We’re day one girls.

{0}_HAPPY: Now I get to stand at the Firepit with my girlfriend.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I know!

{0}_HAPPY: Did you ever think we’d make it to this point together?

I had total faith

PLAYER_HAPPY: I had total faith in us.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I knew we’d make it here together.

{0}_HAPPY: Good, because there’s nobody I’d rather be with.

{0}_FLIRTY: It’s you.

{0}_HAPPY: I’ve met my match.

working on a story (it isnt close to done but I am cleaning up and making it competent)

throw up words on a page

clean up my weird talk and parenthesis

make it coherent and make sure everything is easy to read for criticism.

*write origin of her death maybe gfs fighting on two sides of a super old war

A archeologist searching for a legendary sword of a "supposed" old warrior, for months on end in a dangerous clifface with her team. This sword would pay off her dead fathers debt with a local gang of loansharks back at home (father did some not so nice things as a teen, and now that burden has been on her mother ever since she was a kid. lowkey she dispises him, even in death), who are keeping her mother a bargaining chip to get the money back. She on occasion gets to see her mother when she brings in a stipend, but it gets bigger each time, this cannot go on for long. She has got to make BIG money quick, enough to get her mother back. She has been going on excivations and ending up with nothing, she has a choice, try to find work quick outside of her perfession (which usually pays less) or call her ex, who worked in excavation in the planning and money part way back when, owns a large company, and well is an overall dick with alot of money, and collects artifacts for hobby and bragging reasons.

==== Trevin: His goal is to get into a secret group of people, (with a lot of power, magic, and money.) He wants something that can get their attention, and what he wants is a old warriors sword, something he has been researching and keeping to himself over the years, cause it supposidely contains a crazy amount of power. His stumble into this secret group of collectors confirmed his beliefs. He has been obsessed ever since.

==== She has been interested in archeology as young as 13 years old. (This is being fast forward, I dont know how to write kids hahaha psahhh.)

Her ex boyfriend (Trevin FUCK THAT BITCH) pitches her a impossible task, to find the sword of {Blank} it is a quite known in secret circles to have power, but her or her friends dont know that. ExBoy wants power and connections in that secret group, shes up for it, knowing the cunt is good for the money. This may be her one chance to get her mother out of this bind. Over the coming days (yes, days. she wants her mother back as soon as possible) getting a few of her friends in the mix, Trevin pays for their salary (how nice of him :)) They find it suspicious but the money is good and seems like the usual excavation job, some are more excited than others. One girl in particular is concerned why, this is out of character for her (none of her friends know about her mothers situation, she thinks its better if they didnt and would cause less out of character actions.)

*write a place in the middle of the US and African Waters.

Trevin gives them a small boat the 1912 Tanker, (50K probably.) One of her friends wonders where her ex gets the money for these types of vehicles. Again, she cannot speak about it.

==== Filler Chapter: (Yay!)

Stress your improv muscles Rose, at least 2 chapters please love. Just build characters and motivations and what not, make them seem like they are actually going to live for the rest of the story (lol)

==== After weeks in the water they reach this somewhat large island (rockfaces, strangle dead trees, rain, ESPECIALLY RAIN, use rain alot. I love rain :)), (make it so they lose equipment or some of it gets destroyed in storm that picks up) they lose some important items (enough to cause concern but make the MC seem more desperate with this, shes too far into this now to go back),

==== Filler Chapter: (Yay!) On the beach into the tombs.

==== The storm was perfect, it lead them to the eroded tomb of the warrior. (this tomb is a ceremonial for a well known fighter dying in battle)*

They get through the tomb but the erosion slowly shows signs of collapsing, in which it does… it slowly closes them in, some of her friends get insta killed like crazzzzzy. (leave three) idk they freak out and just want out but she wants that damn sword, (infighting about their lives being important and her only caring about her moms safety). they eventually close the argument on bad terms. uhhh and like they die n shit and shes crying really bad after her adrinelleine is out, she tired flopping everywhere and finds the grave! (yay!) she opens it, her tears revive the dead warrior as she tries to reach for the sword. (TENSION YAAAAAY) also she is sad cause she left them dead on a sad note or whatevs.

she backs up cause the carcass is slowly having its glow back and shes like "what the???" then she awaits as the warrior towers above her 5'7 ass (warrior is literally 7 ft tall warrior woman)

you discrace my sleep? my resting place?

I only wanted your sword, and well -yes I was…. I am, I am sorry.

how has a hominos (common person/pesant) entered my chambers without having lost their head, hmm? we will have you flayed in the public eye for your actions Platy (small easy fish that many beginners to fishing catch.)

idk why i thought of this but can you write a wandaxfemreader but r is a gamer and somehow convinces wanda to try playing the game and it's all cute and stuff? i'm imagining it being so cute idk why LOL

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO CUTE AND I'VE ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS IDEA BEFORE

Video Games

summary: you are a gamer who tries to convince your gf to play a game with you

pairing(s): wanda maximoff x reader

warnings: some cursing but mostly fluff :)

notes: I'm in love with domestic wanda

"Bro what the hell?! This dude's definitely hacking." You said obviously annoyed as you clutch your controller tightly in your hand. Wanda looked over at you sitting in front of you TV and smiled, she didn't know how you could get so worked up over a game.

"Alright I'm done with this game." You say as you click off the Black Ops III app on your PS4. "I don't understand video games." You heard Wanda say from behind you. You turned around to see her sitting at the kitchen island while stirring her cup. "Some of them are actually fun." You say as you take the headset off of your head. She raises an eyebrow at you before bringing her cup to her mouth and taking a sip of her tea. "It's true!" You laugh as you put your controller down and stood up from the couch. "Everytime I see you playing those games, it just seems like pointless chaos." She tells you, her accent becoming slightly stronger. You smile as you walk up to her and wrap your arms around her waist from the back. "Oh come on, some of them are good." You smile as you rest your head on the side of her neck. She shakes her head as she smiles.

"Play one game with me, not like the one I was playing before, but a nice and calm one. I promise you'll like it." You ask her as you turn her body to face you. "Honey." She begins as she looks at you while jokingly shaking her head. "Please Wanda, just one game and if you don't like it, I won't ask again." You asked, your eyes softening as you looked at her and continued to rest your hands on her waist.

She turned her head and looked at the ground before sighing and turning back to you. "One game." She said, as she held up her pointer finger. Your smile widens as you turn around and start walking back to the couch, Wanda following close behind you. "A nice one this time, nothing having to with running around and killing people." She told you as she sat on her knees in front of the TV as you pressed the power button on your second controller. "It is a nice game, don't worry honey." You reassure her as you hand her the second controller. She looked at you with a witty smile before grabbing the controller from your hand. You press lightly to the right on your joystick until you reach the game you want. "Minecraft?" She asks as she looks at you through the sides of her eyes. "You're going to like it, I promise." You smile as the game starts to load up.

Once the game had finally loaded up, you clicked play and create a new world in survival mode. The screen became split with both of your views available. "Okay, I'm on the left and you're on the right." You tell her as she nods while keeping her eyes on the TV. "Why is everything shaped like squares?" Wanda asks as she furrows her eyebrows while watching the screen. A genuine laugh escapes your lips as you hang your head back. "It's just the art style of the game." You chuckle as you straighten your body back out. "The premise of the game is to collect materials and build things basically." You tell her as you start to farm wood in the game and watched as Wanda wondered around the open grass field in the game.

After a few hours of playing the game, Wanda had more fun than she had originally thought she would have. She spent a while collecting materials while you were of creating tools and killing mobs. She had also smiled widely as she spent time walking through a field and picking flowers to put in the house. About a few hours into the gaming, Wanda had crawled over to you sitting on the ground in front of the couch and snaked her way under your arms. Your arms hand hung over her shoulders as they held the controller over her chest. Even though she had complained about it earlier, she smiled ear to ear when she sat there with you and a controller in her hand.

Really in Love? 🔥

Leo Valdez x Reader (Athena Cabin Reader)

Summary: Leo didn’t know what went wrong. One minute, he had a smashing goddess girlfriend and an equally awesome best friend. And the next? One of them in the Apollo cabin, and the other one in the Apollo cabi- well, infirmary.

Warnings: mentions of dying, cheating and some blood. Also some elusions to smut and making out. A lot of angst. That's all I’m gonna say.

Word Count: 1.6k

Masterlist and Prompt List ;)

100 Follower Sleepover

My requests are also open in case you have any more ideas and prompts!

Life for Leo Valdez had been going good. He had just gotten back from helping Apollo, or Lester, and things had been going well. Calypso had just come back from her camping trip, and she and Leo were inseparable.

Which made things a tiny bit hard for you. You were Leo’s best friend, and right now, you and him were tasked with making the new Big House for the camp. Normally, Chiron would call Annabeth, but since she was out of town with Percy for god knows what (you knew what, he was going to propose to her), he had put you in charge of this project. And since you wanted to make the new structure a bit more technologically advanced, you decided to call Leo in.

And the progress had been going well. Until Leo’s entire attention was given to Calypso. Nowadays, you couldn’t even get a minute alone with your best friend without his annoyingly beautiful and mean gf next to you. And off the record, you had been starting to like Leo a bit. When you both were in the quest, and the only two single ones on the ship, you kinda felt like there was something growing between the both of you.

Turns out you were wrong, because in a few months, after your best friend allegedly “died”, he came back on a flying dragon and a goddess in his arms. Too bad you couldn’t find a boyfriend to take your mind off Leo.

So, life was awkward, but fine. Well….until you got shot in the stomach by an arrow. Yeah, it wasn’t your best moment. It was the day after you had had your one-on-one with Calypso, and you had managed to avoid her, but whenever you tried to get Leo on his own, she just happened to be there. So you decided to get him by himself when you both were working on the project. But before that, you had archery. And least to say, you were quite sufficient at it. So were the rest of your classmates, or at least the people at the training room.

So you knew you didn’t get shot by a fluke. The question was that, who would shoot you?

And you knew the answer. Austin Lake. The only guy in the feild who had some sort of resentment towards you. Why? Because he was your ex. Your breakup wasn’t the smoothest one. There was a whole lot of screaming and yelling. Oh, and a couple of threats and slaps. But you would’nt think that he would shoot you. Where you could potentially die.

So for the rest of the day, while you were in the infirmary with Will, you racked your brain thinking of a reason. But it wasn’t until you saw Calypso walk in that you finally understood. She had come in around the time that Leo would be in his Bunker, banging out dents and marks in his newest projects, with everything else out of his mind. It would be the perfect time to sneak away. At least it would be for Calypso.

You had suspected that Calypso had been cheating on Leo for a while. But you had never had a chance to prove it. Until now, where you had a perfect sight of Calypso and Austin holding hands as they made out at the back of one of the beds.

The sight made you sick to the stomach. Surprisingly, it wasn’t because of Calypso kissing your ex. But rather your best friend’s girlfriend kissing Austin Lake. Your mind went to the hurt look on Leo’s face when he would find out, and you could feel the pain radiating off him.

But you couldn’t keep it from him, so you decided to tell him as soon as possible. Gritting your teeth, you tried to stand up for yourself, pushing your hands against the bed. The pain in your stomach intensified by about a 100x, but nevertheless, you tried to ignore it.

Suddenly, you heard a gentle yet cruel laugh. “Oh Y/N, what do you think you’re doing?” You whipped around to see Calypso standing above you, with Austin at her side, and with one pointed look, he took out an injection, filled with green liquid.

“I’m going to tell Leo-”

“No you aren’t. Because you will not get up to ever tell him”, she said maliciously, as you watched in horror. Austin grabbed your arm, and even though you were stronger than him, the pain medication didn’t allow you to push him back. He brought the needle to your arm, and growled at you, his face turned up in a deep frown. With a slight pinch, he pushed it in harshly, the needle cutting through your flesh. Instantly, you began feeling drowsy, as your vision started swimming.

“Y-ou wo-won’t ge...t away with thi….sss”, you tried to say, but all that came out was strangled mutters.

Calypso laughed, swiping her hand on your fingers as her nails dug into your arm. “Oh sweetie, you can’t possibly think a child of Athena would beat a goddess that’s been around for millenia, right? Otherwise, you would be even more stupid then I thought you were…”

And that was the last thing you heard before you drifted off into a inky black darkness.

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

Leo’s POV

Leo walked around the Bunker back and forth, confused on where you were. It was almost 6, and you still hadn’t shown up. Worried, he grabbed his tool belt, tying it around his waist as he left his workspace, going over to the Athena cabin.

“Hey guys”, Leo greeted, trying to spot any sight of you. Malcolm came up to him, his face etched with worry.

“If your looking for Y/N, she was in the infirmary. Apparently, some jackass shot her in the stomach with an arrow. We tried to find who did it, but nothing so far, so we are just waiting for her to wake up.”

As he heard that, he practically started running out the door but he stopped when Malcolm called him back.

“Visiting hours are shut right now. But Austin was the last one to see her, maybe check in his cabin?”

Leo nodded, and although he didn’t like the blond, muscular camper, he still wanted to see how you were doing so he made his way there.

And boy, did he wish he would have gone to see you instead. Because when he walked through the Apollo cabin door, he didn’t expect to see his girlfriend half naked with a shirtless Austin.

“Leo!”, she yelled, covering herself up.

“You-”

She tried to come near Leo, hands reaching for him, but he stepped back, as if her touch was burning hot. “Leo, I didn’t mean to…”, she trailed off, as she began to see the little sparks of fire starting to burst out from his fingers.

She stepped back, and for a second, you could see Leo calm down, wondering if he scared her. But when she reached for Austin’s hand, as she enlaced their fingers together, you could see the fire build up in Leo again.

“How could you-”, he shook his head, not believing it, “I-I was the one who got you off the island” He looked furious, but then his face crumpled as he stared at her. “I lied to my friends. Acted like I was dead for weeks. Just so I could save you, so I could get you off that prison!”

She didn’t say anything, as she just kept looking down at the floor. Half of you hoped that it would just swallow her whole.

“I literally gave my life, and you cheated on me?! You-you knew I had an issue with him-” Realization struck his face as he pieced two and two together. “Th-that’s why you didn’t want me coming with you to the infirmary, did you? Because he would be there. That must be your little get-to-know-you times, huh?”

She tried to shake her head, coming closer to Leo, but he ignited his hands again, this time making them burn bright. “You can’t possibly think that’s why-”

“Oh no, don’t try and make me think of something different. I’m a freaking mechanic Calypso! I wake up if I hear the faintest of sounds, and you wouldn’t think that I would find you sneaking out every night?”

Calypso stared at him, vision swimming with tears, but her face hard. Leo tried to find some bit of her left in there, but gave up, turning around to look for you. “How is-”

“Oh Y/N, I wouldn’t go to see her. Unless you wanna see her bod-”

“What the hell?”, Leo asked, his voice firm, as his mind went into overdrive. “What did you do Calypso?”

“Nothing much..”, she said, but he didn’t hear another word as Will Solace burst into his cabin.

Out of breath, and sweaty, he looked at Leo. “Y/N needs you… she is close to dying”

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

That was it, the first part! I’m sorry I didn’t get to the second part, but I think the cliffhanger may add to the storyline, so let’s see if that works out. Thanks so much for requesting this, and I hope you enjoy it :)

almost [toni shalifoe]

toni shalifoe x reader

requested: You’re an amazing writer! I had this promt for a while now where reader is Shelby’s best friend and Toni’s gf and once they get to the bunkers they find out about everything and try to escape the building but get followd by agents from all sides and the girls are scared for their lives and once they get the oppurtunity to escape the reader offers herself (maybe an agent was about to catch Shelby) and Toni and Shelby (they both don’t want to let go and are in hysterics) as well as the other girls lose it when readers screams and begs them to leave her and get to safety. Pretty heavy angst that you write so amazingly, it would be so nice to see you bring this idea to life.

*not my gif*

The walls started to be the only thing you can remember seeing. The weird wooden paneling in what felt like a fucking holding cell for prisoners’ on death row. You can’t remember what the sky looked like or the stars. All you can remember is this stupid quarantine room that you were put in after you got, quote on quote: saved, from the island.

You haven’t seen any of the girls since you’ve been saved. And you really wished you could’ve, you’ve missed their personalities. Rachel’s determination. Dot’s sarcasm. Fatin’s inappropriate jokes. Leah’s intelligence. Shelby’s kind heart. And lastly, your girlfriend Toni’s protectiveness. All of them, everything about them, you wish you had with you right now.

All of a sudden the entire power went out. The lights shut off and the camera that watches you 24/7 was down. There were footsteps echoing throughout the hallway until it stopped right in front of the door. You waited for the door to open, but it didn’t. It was like there was a moment of hesitation before something was slipped under the door and the footsteps echoed away.

A small piece of paper, written in a handwriting that was quite familiar. You’ve seen this handwriting in Nora’s notebook. From the one and only Leah Rilke, saying: We were right...

All of the conspiracy theories that we once thought were crazy, were actually true. After the shark attack that made us lose Nora and Rachel’s hand, Leah told us everything. From her finding Jeanette’s second phone to seeing Nora talk to a camera in the trees. You all thought it was crazy, until the questions that Dr. Fader and Agent Young asked could’ve only been known if they were on the island.

You flipped the paper over, seeing that there was something else written: Escape plan ???.

The next few days were quiet. You didn’t quite know what to do with yourself. Until finally, your door swung open. Fader and Young were both standing there with hands in their pockets, “You ready to see the girls?”

Your eyes lit up for the first time since you got there. Happiness overwhelming your body at the chance to see the only people who have been keeping your mind sane in that Hell hole.

You shot up from off the bed and followed them into the corridor. But not before trying to examine each hall, to find some sort of exit plan. Then it all came to a view, your favorite people in the entire world.

“Toni?” you whispered and she turned around to face you. A huge smile formed onto her face before she wrapped her arms around you.

You let out a sigh of relief. Your whole body seemed to relax at the slightest touch, “Hi love.” she whispered, holding you tightly.

The two of you let go and you see your best friend. Her long lucious blonde locks no longer there, but rather a buzz cut replacing it. You know you shouldn’t have laughed, but c’mon it’s your best friend. The two of you make fun of each other all of the time.

“You like it?” she asked, pretending to flip her hair over her shoulder.

You bursted out laughing, “Oh yeah! Getting a little bit of Caillou vibes from it.”

She pushed you back softly, before grabbing your shoulders and ultimately bringing you into a hug of your own, “I’ve missed you.” she whispered.

“I’ve missed you too...” you begin to say with seriousness, but you couldn’t help the nickname that popped into your head, “...Shelbald.”

Everyone in the coordior seemed to have busted out laughing at the nickname, “I hate you.” Shelby said.

“Mhmm, I hate you too.” you said, pulling away from the hug. Going around the room to hug all of the other girls.

Once all of you realized that you were alone, without the two agents watching your every move, you decided to catch up on the plan.

“How is this gonna work, Leah? I mean how did you get the notes out to us in the first place?” you asked. A question that has been flooding your thoughts for quite some time now.

She had a small smirk on her face, “We have an ally on the inside.” she said, bringing her voice to a whisper, “I have these napkins for all of you. We’re gonna put them in our door before closing. It’ll give us a chance to not allow it to close.”

Leah handed everyone a napkin. All of us clenching them in our fist, trying to hide it as much as possible.

“Our ally is gonna cut the power like they did when they slipped the note to everyone for me. We’re all gonna run and meet here at the corridor. He told me where the secret exit is and we’re gonna get out through there. The rest of the plan from there is a little fuzzy, but escaping is the most important part.” she explained.

There was a tense silence between everyone for a little bit. Before we all broke out into smiles, “Leah,” Rachel began, “Thank God for your craziness. It’s gonna save our asses!”

“Hell yeah it will!” Fatin exclaimed. All of you laughed along with each other. A sudden weight being lifted from your shoulders, like for once in the past few months everything was gonna be okay.

God, how you were so wrong.

“When is this happening?” Dot asked.

Leah’s lips quirked into a smirk, “Tonight.”

After a couple more hours, the two agents came back. Escorting us one by one to our rooms. We bid each other goodbye before walking into our rooms. As our doors close, all of us stuffing a napkin into them. The slow sounds of footsteps slowly fading away down the hallway, you pushed the door open a little and low and behold...it opened.

You pretended to act the normal the entire rest of the day. Lying in bed, pretending to be upset with the world. It’s not like that part changed, but at least now there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the road. You didn’t know what time it was, it could’ve been 10pm or 2am or 4am, but all of the lights shut off again. And you watched as the cameras fell, like they have been disarmed.

You let out a deep breath, trying to calm your nerves, “Let’s do this.”

Slowly, you stepped out of the room, looking up and down the hallway. The coast was clear. You ran out of your room, trying to not make a lot of noise. When you reached the cooridor, everyone was there and you could tell that nervousness hung over the group.

“We ready?” Dot asked and all of us just nodded, “Let’s fucking go!”

All of you walked out of the cooridors, making sure the coast was clear. Toni intertwined her fingers into your hands and the tension in your shoulders seemed to have fallen away. Shelby was right behind you guys and you made sure to look back every now and then to make sure she was okay.

“There they are!” you heard a deep voice yell.

All of you stopped in your tracks, looking at one another. Then reality hit all of you like a truck, before you took off running. Toni practically dragging you along with her and every second you looked behind you to see Shelby keeping up. But when you do, you can see a butt-load of agents, the distance between you and them growing smaller and smaller by the second.

“Guys! They’re gaining!” you yelled. As time went on, your energy and adrenaline that the group once had was slowly diminishing.

“Well run faster!” Rachel called back. Both her and Leah leading the charge.

“I didn’t sign up for a marathon!” Fatin exclaimed.

Dot shrugged, “It’s either run a marathon or get captured by them.”

Fatin looked back at all of the angry men. And somehow, someway, she started running faster, “Yeah, yeah. Marathon it is!”

You reached the exit Leah was once talking about. Shutting the door behind you guys, locking it just before they could get in. You did a mental head count...Rachel, Leah, Dot, Fatin, Toni...that’s only five? That’s only five! You scanned the two way hallway frantically.

“Love? What’s wrong?” Toni asked.

You shook your head, “Where’s Shelby? She wa s right behind us. I should’ve...I should’ve kept watching her. I should’ve make her run in front of me.”

“What?” Toni questioned, her voice a little softer.

“Where’s Shelby?!” you practically screamed. Your voice echoing throughout the hallway.

You heard footsteps coming towards you. Shelby in the hands of Agent Young, you released a shaky breath. All of you were surrounded, the door to escape right there in front of you. A middle aged lady that you recognized from the Dawn of Eve video appeared from behind the two agents.

“Relax darling. She’s right here. Now how about we all get you back to your cells?” she asked.

Everyone shook their head, “No, this is insane! You can’t keep us here forever!” Dot yelled.

“Well we need one of you to explain to us what happened. So if you’d like to escape, go right ahead, but we keep Shelby. Easy peasy.” she explained.

You looked at Toni, sending her an apologetic glance. Her head tilting to the side in confusion. You leaned forward softly, placing a small kiss to her cheek, before letting go of her hand.

“Y/N? What are you-“ she began to ask, but you stepped towards the woman and the two agents.

You let out yet another shaky breath, “Take me.” you said sternly.

An echo of “What?!” rang throughout the hallway. And you tried not to focus on the fear that laced, each and every one of their voices.

“You let them go, let them go back home. And I’ll switch places with Shelby. I’ll cooperate and tell you the entire truth.” you negotiated.

Shelby stared right at you, “Are you insane?” she asked, tears pooling at your eyes.

“Please. Let them go. I’ll tell you everything I know. That is your best bet of trying to get yourself out of whatever sick game you’re playing. Because if you keep all of us here, we will not cooperate and you’ll know nothing.” you explained. The middle-aged woman pondered your negotiation for quite a few minutes.

And with one snap of her fingers, she was released and you were in the grasp of Agent Young and Dr. Fader. You finally brought yourself to look at the girls who were all crying. And you couldn’t bear to look at them anymore as you heard sobs course throughout Shelby, Leah, and Fatin’s body. Then there was Toni, Dot, and Rachel who were trying their best to stay strong, but you knew they couldn’t.

“You can’t do this!” Toni yelled.

You shook your head, “We don’t have a choice. I need you guys to leave. We’ve lost 2 already! No one else can get hurt anymore.” Everyone went silent, “Can I say goodbye first?” you asked, softly. The three adults all looked at each other before nodding.

You stopped first at Rachel, pulling her into a small hug. And you could feel little tear drops fall onto your shoulder, “I’m sorry we couldn’t save her.” That caused Rachel to sob even more.

You rubbed her back softly, “I’m sorry we couldn’t save you.” she whispered back before pulling away.

Then there was Fatin. She immediately crashed into your arms, holding you tighter than she ever has before. You ran your fingers through her hair, trying to soothe her as best as possible.

“I’m still holding you to your plans for when you escape.” you mentioned, out of the blue.

“What?” she asked, pulling away a little.

You smiled widely at her, “You still gotta fuck the rowdiest guy with biggest dick ASAP!”

And for once since the great escape happened all of you finally laughed and smiled. She sniffled before nodding, “I promise. I’ll dedicate it to you.”

Then Dot. You could tell she was trying her best not to cry, but a few tears slipped out. She hugged you tightly, patting your back in the process, “Do me a favor?” she just hummed in response, “When you get back home to Texas, watch after Shelby. Live in your old house together, something...anything! She can’t go home, she’s not ready for that yet. But you need to protect her and make sure that she stays the same person she is jow. Not the person we knew before, can you do that?”

“With my life.” Dot promised and you look back at her to find a determined nod on her face.

Leah’s turn was next. Her piercing blue eyes looked like the ocean when it rained. The glossiness of the raindrops hitting the water. You smiled at her softly, pulling her into a hug.

You were right by her ear when you whispered, “When we get out of here, you need to tell our story. Tell the truth the whole truth. Don’t let these bastards win. Sue them if we have to. Just get our story out. I trust you more than anyone to do that. Do it for Jeanette and Martha and even Nora. The ones we’ve lost and the ones who are lost in the trauma.”

“I’m on it. You come back to us okay? We need you here too to tell our story.” she said.

You smiled at her sadly, “I’ll try.”

Then there was Shelby. You look at her and she looked at you shaking her head, “No no you can’t do this. You can’t sacrifice yourself for everyone else. I’ll stay here with you! I’ll follow you always!” she pleaded, sobs following her spoken words.

Tears finally fell from your eyes, “You can’t stay here okay? You have to go home.”

“You’re my only family!! Why are you doing this??” she practically yelled.

You sniffled, smiling softly, “You know how we always wanted to be the hero? We would go on missions for church to help people’s lives.” she nodded, “I’m gonna be the hero today and save the people I care about the most.”

Shelby grabbed you forcefully, holding you into her arms. The two of you shaking, as sobs coursed throughout your bodies. You placed your hand on the back of her head, holding her unbelievably close. Until you finally let go.

“I’m not gonna let you do this.” Toni said sternly.

“You have no choice-“ you began to say, but she cut you off.

“Fuck that! I do have a choice and I’m gonna swap places with you! You took Shelby’s place so easily, so why can’t I do that with you?!” her voice echoing, causing everyone to flinch back.

You took your hands in her face, rubbing circles along her cheekbones. Something you did on the island to calm her down when she got too angry or stressed. You placed your forehead on hers and you could see her lips start to quiver.

“You can’t stay here.” she pleaded, “I can’t-what am I gonna do without you? I don’t have Marty or you, what am I gonna do?”

You placed a kiss to her forehead, “I’m gonna find my way back. Find all of you again, okay? I’m never leaving you as cheesy as it sounds I’m always gonna be right here.” you pointed at her heart, “But until then I have to go darling.”

“No, please!” she practically begged. You kissed her softly, but with so much emotion to let her know how much you love her. Not knowing when the next time will be.

“I love you Toni.” you placed one more kiss to her forehead before taking a step back to look at all of the girls.

Again, with one snap of the fingers, you were back in the agents arms, “Escort them to the exit.” the middle-aged woman stated, “You’re coming with me.”

Ear piercing screams rang through your ears. You were about to be dragged off when Shelby and Toni tried rushing towards you. They grabbed your hands trying to pull you back, but the agents were stronger. Not to mention the other agents holding them back.

“We’re not leaving you!!” they yelled.

You didn’t want it to end like this, “Please just go! We lost! You can’t stay here! It’s not safe for you! So please just get out!” you screamed before everything started to break down in front of you, “Just go.” you kept mumbling over and over again between sobs.

Dr. Fader and the middle aged woman escorted you away from the girls and to the interrogation room. While Agent Young escorted the bawling girls towards the exit, probably to drive them to the airport on wherever the hell we are.

“You promised! I trusted that you would keep all of us safe!” Leah spat at Agent Young when they were all alone. She started banging on his chest, “I trusted you! And you-you made us lost Y/N!”

He just let her go at it, before grabbing her wrists as softly as possible, “I tried, but Gretchen watched all of you run from her office. She figured you were going there. And called for everyone to surround you. I tried Leah. I tried for all of you and I failed!”

“You were the ally?” Dot asked and he nodded.

“You girls don’t deserve this. You’ve already been through so much. It’s time for you to go home.” he said sadly, “I’ll take care of her, I promise.”

Jealousy

Duncan x Plus size!reader

Word Count: 1647 words

Warnings: none

Summary: Duncan’s gf getting upset over Courtney so she flirts with someone else to make him jealous

——————————————————————————————————

Inviting you to participate in Total Drama Island a few weeks into the show had been Chris' idea.

He thought that it would be an interesting turn of events after seeing all the obvious chemistry between Duncan and Courtney. After all, what could be better for ratings than relationship drama.

Though, now that you were here, you had really started to rethink agreeing to this.

Everything had been on edge pending your arrival, mostly due to the fact that they weren’t sure what the surprise Chris had planned was. Though, when you stepped off the boat onto the deck, the jitters faded...for the most part.

The only person who even looked remotely excited was Duncan, your loving boyfriend who you’d missed dearly since he’d left to film this show in the first place.

“Oh hell yes!” he grinned, making his way over to your side as soon as he realized what was going on. This had to have been some kind of joke or maybe Chef had slipped something into his lunch today.

However, when he actually reached out to wrap his arms around you, all thoughts of strange acid trips faded away to just holding you against him. It had been way too long since he’d been anywhere near someone he could remotely tolerate, and it was nice.

You were his lady, after all.

“Hi baby, you miss me?” you smiled, laughing as he twirled you side to side in his arms, just trying to make peace with the fact that this was reality. He had been dreaming about this since he’d gotten on the boat, and it was really solid to get to see you.

It was nice.

Though,the two of you couldn’t hang out on the dock all day. You had come here for a reason, after all and you couldn’t just ignore that in favor of never leaving Duncan’s side.

As much as you wanted to.

“Of course I missed you. C’mon, I have some people you should meet” he suggested, taking your hand in his own before using that as leverage to yank you toward the rest of the cast.

Not that he got very far before Chris stopped you both.

“Not so fast you two. I think that’s my job” he cheesed, showing off his fake television host persona so aggressively that it nearly snapped your neck. It didn’t match anything of the man you’d spoken to over the phone to start this whole thing in motion.

Still, you did as he suggested, stopping in your tracks to let him do his thing.

“Campers, this is your special surprise...though it’s more of a surprise for Duncan than anything” he laughed, stopping for dramatic effect before continuing. “This is Y/N, Duncan’s girlfriend”

Everyone had put that together by now, but that didn’t stop the chorus of gasps and ‘booyah’s that came from the crowd in front of you. The girls were obviously sizing you up, while the boys were mouthing congratulations to their buddy.

...This was going to be fun.

Duncan'd had plenty of time to get established with these people in the past week or so, but all you knew about them was what you’d seen when the episodes go live every day and that wasn’t saying much.

You had made it a rule to not believe anything you saw until it was with your own two eyes. It was much simpler that way, and let you not have any bias from the jump.

However, that rule kind of disintegrated when you found yourself talking about Courtney.

You weren’t stupid, you had seen the obvious connection between the two of them. It usually wouldn’t have bothered you, of course, because you weren’t jealous in nature and you knew that Duncan couldn’t have been more in love with you.

Still, you couldn’t help yourself in this situation.

You had been at home missing him all this time while he was living it up on some island with some wannabe camp counselor. Anyone in their right mind would have been upset and you wouldn’t apologize for that.

Even though you simply smiled at her as you passed, holding tightly to Duncan’s hand as you did so.

Arguing with her wouldn’t do you any good.

Correction, arguing with her shouldn’t have done you any good. However, that didn’t mean that you were completely helpless to stop whatever it was that was going on between them.

...And there was only one way to do that.

You just had to make Duncan understand what you were feeling, and once he realized how awful it was, he would straighten up real quick. You were sure of it, but having a plan wasn’t enough to fix this.

You actually had to go through with it.

So, you swallowed the nausea building up in the back of your throat at the idea of what you were about to do and smiled. Chris had just told you all about a trust exercise that you would be doing this morning, and everyone got to choose their partner.

Naturally, Duncan assumed that you, his girlfriend, would want to participate with him but instead of meeting him at his side, you bypassed him completely.

Rather than jump into his arms like he’d been expecting, you found your way to Trent’s side.

You two hadn’t really talked in all your time here, but that didn’t matter to you. All you needed was to make a display out of today, and he was going to let you do that.

“Hey Trent, I was thinking that maybe you and I could be partners today” you hummed, smiling at him while also batting your eyelashes at him just for added effect. He looked shocked, as anyone would be at this point.

However, he nodded.

That was the best thing about Trent as far as you were concerned in this moment, because he didn’t think about what you were doing enough to even realize how bad of an idea it was.

...But you could.

You could practically feel Duncan glaring into the back of your head, finding it hard to believe that you were reacting this way. He didn’t get it, but that didn’t change the fact that he shrugged it off and made his way over to Courtney.

Two could play at this game.

Duncan had always told you that he wasn’t jealous, boasting that it wasn’t in his nature but you had never truly tested that theory until now. Though, to be fair, you had never had reason to.

In all the time that you and Duncan had been together, he had never even looked in the direction of another girl but something about Courtney changed that.

She just got to him in a way that no one else did and you hated it.

You weren’t jealous, you just weren’t, but it didn’t matter. All you could really think about was how mad you were over the fact that he didn't even put up a fight over you.

He could just be so frustrating, but that was fine, because you had the perfect partner for this whole thing.

...Or at least, you thought you had.

Everything was going fine until you got to the trust fall portion of the exercise, trying to build up to the final challenge. You closed your eyes and lent back, giving in fully to the process.

However, the second Trent’s hands met your skin, Duncan freaked out.

That just wasn’t cool.

“Hey man! Why don’t you back off?!” he yelled, shoving the scrawny male away from you. The action left you sitting in the sand of the beach but you didn’t care.

Instead, you focused more on the fact that Duncan was now holding Trent down to the ground, content with pummelling his face in for the offense. It was overkill, and everyone knew it, but they also couldn't stop it.

Duncan was, perhaps, the only person here who didn’t have a problem with fist fighting on television.

...But you weren’t going to let that happen.

Maybe it was your fault, you had put this on him after all. Trent didn’t know what he was getting set up for but you did. You knew that Duncan wouldn’t be able to handle it and you’d done it anyway.

In that way, you were definitely to blame.

“Duncan, Stop!” you urged, rushing over to their side to shove the man off. Trent hadn’t even done anything worthy of the shiner he’d have in the morning, not that Duncan cared.

Anything involving him touching you would have been too much.

“Yeah, let’s break it up you two” Chris chimed in, earning an eye roll from you at his late interjection. You all knew he wouldn’t have done anything had it not been for the clear issue it would cause.

Duncan wouldn’t have stopped until they had to cart Trent off to the hospital otherwise.

“Come on, you need to cool down” you urged, knowing that getting him as far away from this situation as possible would be best for everyone. Besides, you two clearly needed to talk.

You should have never done this in the first place. Granted, no one said that Duncan had to go on a punching spree either.

You just needed to clear the air.

Now, Duncan didn’t want to do as you asked. It was clear that no one could have really stopped him from rearranging this poser's facial structure, but it also wasn’t much of a question.

You weren’t asking him to leave and come with you, you were telling him that he needed to, and he was going to listen.

Even Duncan knew well enough to know that you wouldn’t ask twice. He just had to hope that it wasn’t going to be too bad once the two of you were behind closed doors.

♡ Levi Dating A Tall Girl

warnings ⚠️ some innuendo, possessiveness, jealousy, skinship

↳ NOTE. short captain ftw

You don’t fall backwards the first time he hands you a big ass gun to practice target shooting. Finally someone who doesn’t act like a wobbly fool. Long legs. Better shooting stances. No questions asked. Levi likes that.

You can get the emergency supply tea box from the top shelf. He is jealous, this is cheesy, but still. Levi likes that.

You are hard to overlook. For pragmatic reasons since he lives in sheer chaos and needs to collect his squad from the most unholy places, Levi likes that.

But also... he has to confess he finds it fascinating to see you walk and talk. So, Levi likes that.

You can clean the ceiling. For obvious reasons: Levi likes that.

Paintjobs are easy to you. Levi likes that.

You can carry more weapons on you. Knife here, knife there, knives everywhere. Levi likes that.

Without even knowing or trying, you have a natural bold appearance. People don’t start trouble. The squad is peaceful and diligent in your presence. Him, too. He doesn’t say it, but he admits to himself that he feels protected. Levi likes that. A lot.

It might be outdated in the Survey Corps, but Levi enjoys calling you Madam. You really look like one in your Sunday outfit, just so you know. The height difference makes anyone buy into it. So, you go by „Ma’am“ wherever you go, knowing who addressed you that way first because he respects you. Levi likes that.

The advanced Trojan horse: You can smuggle him almost anywhere when you wear a dress. Levi is kinda going crazy with your legs being so up close though. My, my. What an interesting undercover mission. Levi likes that. You, too. Wink wink nudge nudge.

When cooking, you fool around planting your underboob on Levi’s head while the oven does its thing. He’s cursing a bunch of things. But he can’t deny you’re funny and he really fits in that spot, too. Levi likes that.

Your height means more to scrub in the shower. Levi does not shy away from grabbing a sponge for the ladies as we know. Only select people he will foam up personally, so, this is a knighting. If you can shave him, he can shampoo you, it’s tit for tat. A very cleanly exchange. Levi likes that.

In the comfort of your room, not in his, nor his office or elsewhere, really when nobody is watching — Levi sits on your lap. Plenty of space, so. He fits snugly right there. Levi likes that.

You look great when you ride a horse and handle horses well in general. You can get on there in two seconds without delay. Speed is key. Levi likes that.

And I mean.

What’s not to like, anyway? Levi’s captain crush on you equals your height in terms of intensity.

Technically, you, like all other people, qualify as a brat. A tall, noodly brat. But you’re nice to him and vice versa: Don’t deliberately nor accidentally get on his nerves. So the most he’ll do is grumble at you where others would get a speech. If you make a mistake with the equipment, he won’t let it slide for obvious survival-related reasons, but his tone is noticeably gentler, a crucial tinge.

The whole squad — especially the rowdy members who tease him the most ironically — spirals into envy, but doesn’t say anything lest they want Levi’s frown and explanation on how they were messing around while you worked. The guy’s proud of it and wants to deservedly hype your ethic to be honest.

So let us just note that special fondness he has and let it sink in.

Under the guise of “establishing order”, Levi has an excuse to make his schtick for you heard: Indirectly.

Levi scolds anyone calling you bigfoot or titan girl. His supposed reason: They didn’t clean well. In reality, he’s mad they pick on you but he can’t say it.

The captain is concerned that people don’t ruin your day and he’ll do something about it. That’s pretty damn astounding. Levi hardly bothers getting into other people’s mood management and personal things.

Armin thinks it’s adorable when Levi casually walks between you and Hanji, likely headed somewhere to buy conveniences because Sasha is dying to get food. Connie calls it the ‘Levi Sammich’ and laughs his ass off every. Single. Time.

Mad titan scientist she is, Hanji’s latest experiment involves a two-person battle maneuver where you have to carry Levi piggyback. He initially declines, but it looks adorable indeed, actually. You don’t really have to put efforts into holding him in place awkwardly, his legs are strong. So much about two-person maneuvers, the two of you fight well as a duo, your bodies complement each other. Best believe the same feat applies to what happens between four bedposts.

In more casual settings, he dons his usual scowl when he stands next to you, but he thinks it's sexy that you look at his shoulders from above. You can see the weight on them.

He wishes he had your shoulders. But then again, he wouldn’t want to change bodies at the end of the day, as surprising as it sounds. Levi knows he needs to be a compact little unit to do what he does.

A lot of people taunt you as a couple, but after some time of always reacting with anger right away, he becomes cooler about his self-worth. Levi realizes — man, he knows who he is.

Should you ever faint, he can catch you with ease. Levi Ackerman is the last guy to get crushed by his gf, that we all know. He’s not afraid of your body or your weight. No cowardice, no shame, no questions asked.

And as we know. He got a thing with your legs, don’t even try. Legs legs legs leggy legs, that’s all there is on Levi’s brain when you don’t wear a uniform but skirts during leisure time. He tries to block out that thought, unsuccessfully.

Titans he can go without, but you are his irreplaceable sexy goddess you know. Levi admires you.

Whenever you hit your hip or limbs at an awkwardly set-up table, Levi will position it elsewhere immediately. Low door frames he can’t do anything against, but he will tug at your sleeve twice every time you enter a room while walking behind you so you remember to stay alert. It’s... really cute how he’s tugging at you from below. I need a moment.

In the mornings, an even cuter thing happens: When his legs are too short to reach the ground while he’s sitting on an improvised barber chair of yours. You’re cutting his neck hair while he’s pouty about his tininess. You do your best to organize a smaller chair with Armin’s help later on.

But your height difference also causes some upheaval at the start or the relationship and brings up some deeper wounds.

You can easily help tie Eren’s man bun way up there and that makes Levi extra jealous. In fact, he feels like imploding to the point of creating a black hole. Even Mikasa is fine with it because it’s all on a friendly basis with no thought behind it. Like it’s just helping Eren get his hair under control for squad practice. But Levi sees red:

Out of sheer Ackerspite, he will grow out the top part of his undercut and ask you to tie up his hair, too. This guy is on fire. Like hello, he wants your hands in his hair like that as well!

He orders Mikasa to take care of Eren’s “brat mop on his head” every morning “for the sake of the cleanly survey corps dress code” without exception. Eren is totally confused, Mikasa likes the idea, and you are shocked.

Damn, this guy doesn’t play.

He wants you to stroke and tie only his sacred hair if he’s entirely honest with himself. Best time of the day for him. Levi ends up looking like your smol samurai bodyguard with his new hairstyle. You could fancy that in the long run.

And... you know he is insecure. You always know. And, if you’re honest yourself, are glad to have permission to give him such deliberate affection because he values it so much.

Levi hardly builds any romantic bonds and if he does, he easily feels left out because the truth is, he’s needier than the average person. It’s difficult if there are only few people close enough for that, since Levi needs a lot.

Eren is no viable competition, but you decide you gotta make that clear to the touch-starved little guy. Since... In reality, the man bun discussion is not about Levi being petty just because. It’s about wanting to have that connection with you. And: Your attention. Levi doesn’t look like it, but he needs it. A metric ton.

In fact, Levi is the biggest love-deprived attention whore on the entire island and that’s a hard fact.

So, what to do about it. First: Clean slate needed, because you’re a bit annoyed, too.

You sit down for dinner and talk to Levi about how you are not interested in stealing Eren from Mikasa, nor do you think Levi looks ugly or invisible compared to Eren because of the height. You want to be a helpful squad member and he has no business imposing his brat hair rules to make himself exclusive out of fear, as if you would jump Eren as soon as he doesn’t look. And that he should say when he’s envious or wants something, point-blank. You’re very willing to give him all the attention to the moon and back alright.

Levi, grumpy at himself, apologizes for wanting to control the situation instead of saying that he wishes for time with you and makes tea.

He’s feeling mighty called out but owns up to all of this having been a knee-jerk response. Guy’s hard on himself, but that’s how he adapts his behavior.

The whole truth is, he knows that Eren is a lot easier to be around while he, Levi, is a complicated guy that is arguably hard to approach in random matters, even for loved ones.

He beats himself up for that and wants to be more emotionally and physically accessible to you so you can shower your affections on him the way you want to. That’s what it really boils down to.

That means fishing for old parts of his youth he didn’t allow. Levi wants to challenge himself to be more open to receiving. He knows he keeps his appeal on lock and it’s time to change that because he sees that you enjoy such closeness. Just the way he does, but secretly.

He also says to you that you can always touch him the way you desire after work.

Levi sees how you like being hands-on and how you do it, and makes it firm that you don’t have to walk on eggshells, hold back, or ask like it’s a delicate matter.

Levi sees relationships in simple terms: Since you’re together, of course you can touch him. It’s part of the whole thing by default to him and he even assumed you took it for granted like there’s telepathy going on.

In fact, brace yourself: For the lack of a better word, it’s even his expectation that this happens. Not like an obligation but as in, that you take opportunities is a given to him, he anticipates it.

You reply that it’s good he communicates this, it’s got to be outspoken. His views on how this whole thing goes has to be out in the open. It gives you a lot more clarity on his boundaries, too.

Before another bout of jealousy unearths more taken-for-granted things, Levi realizes he has to make up his mind that he has to talk about his limits.

So, he also says he entrusts it to you to find the very right moments for skinship.

That entails kissing and pinning and sitting close to another. And sex. Which is pretty damn enjoyable with him, the real fucking deal. So steamy. My God.

And he makes it clear he does his paperwork fast and you can always ask, he’s never too busy to postpone things entirely. He’d rather die the next day after winding in the sheets than handling paper. Levi can’t sleep anyways so it gets his mind off. It’s always welcome and he tells you not to be hesitant.

Levi is the type to absolutely pick up the cues right away — and proceed to really make out against a wall really intensely — so you’re under no obligation to wave a giant red cloth in front of him like he’s a Spanish bull or whatever. He gets the hints and goes along. Not to worry.

You also ask Levi what he thinks about you initiating romantic things and he shrugs — „Do what you want.“

The brand of romance Levi is out for you can already guess anyways. Tea and more tea.

For now, that’s where you agree to “leave it at that” after he thanks you for being straightforward.

You launch your first affections before bedtime. He lets you sleep in his bed, damn right. You really have to be a priority to be able to reside there, I’m telling you. Levi rests with one eye open and in his harness, you have all the blanket for yourself to cuddle up in. That won’t stop you from peppering his face with a few very deliberately placed smooches.

Levi can’t deny he’s a sucker for getting forehead kisses. He drops his hygiene protocol just for that. Safe to say his man bun jealousy from earlier that day cools off in no time. Not to say it shatters completely when you go for the gold that is his pretty little mouth. He’s so overwhelmed emotionally, he almost cries. Levi never thought someone would do this with him.

You repeat the same thing next day, behind the barracks after sunset. Levi holds you real tight. He’s so addictive in the best way. Going by how breathless it all winds up to be, he doesn’t want the kisses to end.

What your height is handy for here? He can gaze up to the night sky when he locks lips with you. Levi, as we know, likes seeing the moon and training his neck flexibility anyways. But that’s not the purpose behind why he’s so down to kiss you so passionately, rest assured.

If he tiptoes a little, he can park his pretty face under your chin after you both ran out of air. Levi’s drug... your long neck. He thinks it smells so good.

He murmurs in response, but he actually wants to be gently cooed at and petted when he rests there. Just a little. He’s humming. Ah, so satisfying. Guess you aced the „Do what you want“ part. You’ll do this with him Lord knows for how many times.

Levi cuddles up at your chest later. Plenty of space for him, and he loves how your voice resounds from there.

Oh— by the way. Since Hanji installed one between the two apple trees outside: It’s always nice to sleep in a hammock with a tall girl. The fabric doesn’t fold him in, he can watch the stars with you off duty. You give him a reason to be content, and that’s the sweetest thing. Levi’s all in love, he’s really grateful. You go, Ma’am.

Okay so here are some of my standalone/2 book series book recs:

Enchantment of Ravens is a fantasy book that stakes place in the realm of Fae but not ACOTAR Fae, more folklore. A human girl has a gift for painting and she paints a Fae prince with human emotion in his eyes which is a big no no. The prince then takes her to try and get her to fix the painting/undo the damage done. It’s not a super stand out book but it was nice easy read that actually got me out of a reading slump.

The Shadows Between Us is a fantasy book where the MC is on a mission to become queen and get the kings hand so she can rule a kingdom. Pretty much Cinderella in the beginning and the changes into some toned down Game of Thrones plot, as the king is trying to figure out who killed his parents while also trying not to get killed himself. It can be cringe at parts because it’s the “I’m not like other girls” trope, but overall solid book.

To Kill a Kingdom is a fantasy book that is essentially the Little Mermaid (with MC being a mermaid that turns human and the LI being a prince who sails), but with an enemies to lovers trope, betrayal, and pirates. Great book with the only major critique being I wish there was smut.

Radiance is a fantasy YA book with a friends to lovers, arranged marriage trope. The banter is great, neither of the MC’s are annoying or an asshole, and the romance felt natural. There is a second book but I didn’t read it and honestly you could just read the first book as a stand-alone.

The Bridge Kingdom is a 2 book series but it’s one of my favourites of all time. It’s a YA fantasy (it’s listed as NA but it’s really not), arranged marriage, enemies to lovers book that deal with lying, deceit, loyalty, forgiveness, and romance. One of my comfort reads that I adore and highly recommend.

Fable is a 2 book series that is about finding your destiny, has a sorta enemies to lovers/kind of friends to lovers trope, with a found family trope too. It based on the MC named Fable who is the daughter of the king of pirates. Her father cast her on an island and in hopes of seeing him again entrusts West and his pirate crew to get her to her father. It’s a really good book and it’s one of the few I’ve actually purchased (but that’s also because the sequal Namesake has a cover that matches Fable)

The Kiss Quotient is a romance book that is a about an autistic MC who wants to start diving into the world of sex more. She hires an escort to basically teach her about sex. Very cute, very fluffy, I enjoyed.

The Simple Wild is a romance book where the MC travels to a very rural area to spend the last month with her father who is incredibly sick in hopes of patching up their rough relationship. From there she meets a pilot and they immediately clash heads. Enemies to lovers trope commences. Cute read, not my all time favourite but definitely good enough to recommend.

Josh and Hazel’s guide to not dating is a big comfort book for me. Josh and Hazel knew each other back in college and when they meet up again as adults they become unlikely friends as Hazel is kind of crazy and extroverted while Josh is very by the book. After Josh breaks up with his longtime gf he had Hazel make a pact to find each other dates and then the 4 of them go on a double date. This is a comfort book for me and I love it.

From Lukova with Love is an amazing YA romance book that has enemies, to friends, to lovers trope about 2 figure skaters who partner up with each other. Has a whole lot of hurt comfort and fluff. The romance seems genuine and the trust they build together is great. I always go back to this book.

These are the majority of the standalone/2 book recs that I have. Though I’ve probably missed some because I genuinely cannot keep track-🥀

PS it was me who sent in that previous ask about burning through books I just forgot to put the emoji lmao

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK U SO SO MUCH FOR ALL THE RECS! OUT OF ALL OF THESE I'VE ONLY HEARD OF FABLE AND ONE OF MY BESTIES RECENTLY READ FROM LUKOVA WITH LOVE AND GAVE IT A GOOD REVIEW ON GOODREADS!!! OTHER THAN THAT THESE ARE COMPLETELY NEW RECS AND IM SOOOO EXCITED! im currently reading from blood and ash ...... I DONT KNOW WHAT BOOK TO READ ONCE IM FINISHED WITH THIS THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS!

glitter + crimson (let’s start a riot)//part three

summary: while mother nature isn’t very kind to the obx, jj’s dad is even worse to him. sailor sees the aftermath, relives a day that changed her life forever, and realizes she’d be down with murder if she could get away with it. between nutella sandwiches, story time, and a shared bed, an unspoken thing slowly starts to become a little more real.

word count: 6.9k+ (oops 😅)

ship: jj maybank x oc (sailor flynn)

warnings: abuse/neglect, blood, mentions of parental abandonment/gambling addiction, swearing, whump, hurt/comfort, fluff, blatant references to hocus pocus, the little mermaid, percy jackson and the olympians, and mean girls (and a teeny, subtle reference to stranger things, see if y’all can catch it! 😉)

a/n: i was so excited to write this part, not gonna lie (if you couldn’t tell, just look at that word count). hurt/comfort is my shittt and i’m a pretty big slut for physical comfort/touches so i kinda went ham with it lol. i’m also very happy to finally introduce everyone to peyton, who’s a character i really love and enjoy writing, especially her relationship with her gf alison. both of them will get some time to shine in this part, peyton in the present and alison in the past! as usual, this is unbetaed so all mistakes belong to me. enjoy!

part three: storm surge

It rains the entire week. Scratch that -it storms: the whole island buffeted by howling winds and blanketed by a thick layer of dark and angry clouds that make life just shy of miserable. For someone who spends 99% of her time outside like Sailor, miserable doesn’t begin to cover it. And to think, it’s only the beginning of hurricane season.

The redhead props her chin in one tan hand as she leans against the cool marble counter of The Butterscotch Bonnet Ice Cream Parlor, watching the rain pound against the shop’s bay windows. Across the street she can just make out the rough, gray surf of the Atlantic through a tiny gap in between two buildings and she sighs wistfully, thinking about all the beautiful shells getting tossed onto the beach by the waves. She’s half tempted to just throw off her apron, hop the counter, and make a break for the sand, storm be damned.

She’s almost positive she wouldn’t even be missed. There isn’t a customer in sight and there hasn’t been one since she started her shift three hours ago. Peyton was still in the back kitchen, messing around with whatever convoluted ice cream flavor she thought up for this week; her boss definitely has a knack for concocting weird combinations that somehow work together, at least most of the time. Sailor thinks back to a few weeks ago when they debuted that delicious blackberry balsamic that sold out every day without fail, then followed it with a cilantro lime that was hit-or-miss (a definite miss in her opinion, as cilantro just tastes like soap to her; Peyton had just smiled her infectious smile, shrugged her tiny shoulders, and said, “Can’t win ‘em all, I guess.”) This week’s flavor involves mascarpone and peaches and she can’t wait to steal a sample because if the wonderful smell coming from the kitchen is any indication, it’s gonna be bomb, even though it probably won’t upset the shop’s namesake flavor from the top of her list.

Thinking about ice cream makes her kind of hungry, on top of the fact that she has a terrible habit of eating when she’s bored, so she dishes out a small scoop of Butterscotch Bonnet and grabs a spoon before leaning back against the counter, digging through the cup to find the best part: salted caramel-filled chocolate sea shells, made in house. The days Sailor gets to help make them are her favorite days to come to work, when she and Peyton commandeer the kitchen and have the time of their lives, blasting music and dancing as they slave away. Of course, the little bag of chocolates she gets to take home is a pretty big plus, too.

“That’s coming out of your paycheck, Sail.”

Spoon halfway to her mouth, she sheepishly glances up from her snack as Peyton emerges from the kitchen, fondly shaking her head and sending her inky black braids dancing across her shoulders.

“What am I gonna do with you?” She continues with a wink before starting to make herself a milkshake, dropping two scoops of their tiramisu flavor into a malt cup.

“Sorry, you know I can’t help myself!” Sailor knows the other girl was joking but she apologizes anyway and opens the cabinet to grab a cup and straw for her, setting them on the counter beside the old-fashioned milkshake machine. As far as bosses go, Peyton is one of the all-around best to have and the redhead loves working at her shop. While the Buckleys are rich as shit and total kooks, the family’s youngest daughter is down to earth, kind, and prefers to work hard for what she wants instead of flaunting her parents’ wealth and The Butterscotch Bonnet is proof that, despite her last name and penchant for the finer things, she’s a pogue at heart. It’s no wonder Alison’s head over heels for her.

“I also know you’re bored as shit.” Peyton calls over the sound of the blender, sending a knowing smirk toward the younger girl, who rolls her eyes and shovels another spoonful of ice cream in her mouth as she replies, “Obviously. This weather fucking sucks.”

A loud clap of thunder seems to shake the very glass in the windows and she gestures toward the storm outside, her point proven. Peyton glances around the deserted shop, still bright and cheery despite its lack of movement and life, then back to the relentless downpour, before shrugging and turning back to finish blending her milkshake. “Wanna go home early?”

“Seriously?”

“Why not? You’ve already cleaned this whole place from top to bottom and I don’t think we’re gonna be getting customers any time soon.” Ignoring the paper cup, she plops the straw straight into her drink and takes a big sip, then nods in satisfaction before adding a huge swirl of whipped cream on top.

“Have I ever told you that you’re the best?” Sailor asks, smiling excitedly as she grabs her bag from under the counter and tosses her empty cup into the trash.

“Only every day,” the older girl replies cheekily, smiling as she’s pulled into a one-armed hug of thanks by her employee.

“Well, you’re gonna hear it again: you’re the best.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Peyton pats the redhead’s shoulder with one deep brown hand and then gently pushes her toward the kitchen. “Now get out of here, brat. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Sailor throws a peace sign over her shoulder as she heads out the door, cackling at her boss’s offended call of “don’t call me ma’am!” After clocking out, she fishes her keys out of her bag and dashes through the downpour to her beat-up clunker of a truck. A hand-me-down from Alison, Flounder’s nothing to look at with all the dents and chips in his blue paint, but he gets her where she needs to go and has room for surfboards in the back and two other pogues up front on the bench seat -and the other two unlucky ones riding in the bed, hiding under the boards- so she’s not complaining, even though she wishes his radio worked more than half the time.

(Two reasons why John B’s almost always the group chauffeur: the fact that he can legally drive all five of them around without breaking the law -not that they’ve ever gotten caught in Sailor’s truck but anyone with a brain knows that where one pogue goes, the other four aren’t far behind- and good music flowing from a perfectly working stereo.)

Unfortunately, it’s on the fritz today so her drive home is spent listening to the sounds of Flounder’s windshield wipers and the pounding of rain against his roof. She heads inland from the beach, away from Peyton’s shop in the outskirts of affluent Figure 8 and its kook mansions to the more homey, laid-back Cut, passing by the turnoff to the Chateau and through the woods before pulling into the empty driveway of her tiny house. The fact that her mother’s car is no where to be found doesn’t surprise her in the slightest. Waiting for her on the porch is Binx, the stray black cat she’s taken to feeding and more or less adopted, stretching on the blanket she left out for him.

“Hey, handsome,” The redhead says, kneeling down to give him a loving scratch behind the ears; he meows in response and rubs his fuzzy face against her ankles, weaving between her legs as she slides her key into the lock. “Come on in.”

The front door closes behind them with a hollow bang that echoes through the empty house like the thunder outside. Sailor hangs up her keys and follows Binx down the hall toward her room, ignoring the closed door that leads to her mom’s room and a bed that she assumes hasn’t been slept in in months. Not that she would know: she’s made it a habit to spend as few nights as possible alone in the house, instead crashing at the Chateau or Kiara’s place and hoping her mom’s comfortable in her makeshift room at The Sandbar where Carmen doesn’t have to deal with the teenager she’s supposed to be caring for (Sailor’s always been an independent girl and has no trouble getting by alone but fuck, that doesn’t mean she wants to.).

Her father’s green eyes, the same color as her own, stare back at her from a picture hanging on the wall of a better time, when everything was alright and her family wasn’t so broken; the three of them on the beach with a twelve year old Sailor in the middle and surfboards in hand. Carmen looks like the mother she remembers and misses so bad it hurts, and while Ryan wasn’t always the most caring of fathers and only acted like a dad when it was convenient, she’d still do anything to have him back, terrible parenting skills and all. She turns away from the picture and the complicated mess her heart becomes when she thinks about him, continuing down the hall to her room.

Complicated doesn’t even begin to cover her feelings about her dad, though. She’s always believed she was an afterthought to him, never first on his list but still good enough to tag along for company when he was doing something he wanted to do. He was a man who liked the idea of having a kid but never wanted to actually step up and parent when things weren’t all fun and games, instead deciding to take off to Atlantic City for a month or two at a time to gamble away whatever money they earned at the surf shop.

She wants to hate him. She should loathe him and in a way, she does. She hates the way he still makes her feel like everything’s her fault, even when he’s not around. She hates the person her mother becomes when he disappears, someone distant and cold and so unlike the good, caring mother Sailor remembers. She hates that home doesn’t feel like home anymore and it’s all his fault, and she hates that despite everything he’s put her through, all the hurt he’s caused, she still can’t find it in her big, bleeding heart to truly detest her father. After all, he could’ve been worse. So, so much worse.

The only place she can get away from everything is her room, her own little sanctuary from the cold emptiness of the rest of the house and constant reminders of Ryan’s absence. It’s warm and bright, the walls painted a sunny yellow that reminds her of lazy days relaxing on the beach. Her first surfboard hangs on the wall above her bed, tucked away in a corner, doubling as a shelf for her massive shell collection while pictures of her and her friends dangle underneath, pinned to a long piece of twine. Her current boards stand propped in another corner, leaning against a wall plastered with all types of movie and music posters. Through the windows covered with curtains as light as sea foam, the rain steadily pours but in here, she’s safe. In here, she can breathe.

Sailor strips off her uniform, tossing it along with her bag onto the chair by the door and slips out of her worn red high-tops before pulling on a pair of sleep shorts and the first long-sleeve shirt her fingers find in the closet, then flops onto her bed and pulls the soft blue blanket around her shoulders, reading glasses and well-loved copy of The Lightning Thief in hand while Binx curls up at her feet. Every summer without fail she rereads the series (why, she’s not exactly sure: maybe its nostalgia, maybe its because she lowkey relates to water-loving, steadfastly loyal Percy) and she’s fallen behind this year, so she fully intends on reading as much as she can tonight before bed. The storm provides perfect background noise and soon she’s five chapters in before a sudden loud knock on her window causes her head to snap up in alarm.

Oh no. Without bothering to save her place, she tosses the book and her glasses aside and scrambles from the bed to the window, tearing open the curtains to reveal a sight she always dreads seeing. Her best friend stands outside in the rain, soaked to the bone, hand pressed against his side, and the sight of bright red blood trailing down his face and staining the collar of his gray shirt makes her heart drop to her stomach. Wordlessly, she opens the window and helps him climb inside before closing it firmly and drawing the curtains, once again blocking the world from her -now their- sanctuary, then grabs her blanket from the bed and wraps it tightly around JJ’s shaking shoulders after he kicks off his sodden boots.

Her hand slowly moves to cup his face and her heart breaks a little more when he tenses, blue eyes carefully tracking its movement until he seems to remember who it belongs to and lets himself lean into her touch, cheek resting against her palm. Sailor runs her thumb under his split lip and and wipes at the crimson staining his tan skin, her mouth curving into a small frown when she only succeeds in smearing it further.

“Come on,” She breaks the silence with her gentle voice, barely above a whisper, and reaches her other hand out to take his, “Let’s get you cleaned up.”

His fingers hold so, so tight as she leads him down the hall to the bathroom and she’s so laser-focused on the way they tremble against hers that she doesn’t notice the blood left behind on the handle when she opens the door. After flicking on the light she turns to face him and gently pushes the blanket from his shoulders with her free hand, letting it fall to the floor in a damp heap, then blindly reaches behind her to turn on the shower, cranking the heat as high as it’ll go.

“Sorry about your blanket.” JJ says at last, his voice quiet, and Sailor shakes her head, running her thumb in circles on the back of his cold hand.

“I don’t care about that, J.” She replies just as quiet and before she can stop herself, before she can think about what exactly she’s about to admit, she adds, “I care about you.”

The corner of his mouth lifts in a barely-there smile and while it may be tiny, it’s a smile nonetheless and she feels the tight knot in her chest begin to loosen as she lets go of his hand, reaching for the hem of his shirt. “Can you lift your arms for me?”

He does as she asks but his pained wince doesn’t go unnoticed by the redhead when she pulls his shirt over his head and tosses it on top of the discarded blanket, and her jaw clenches at the sight of deep purple bruises in the shape of his father’s fists marring the skin over his ribs.

“Let me know if this hurts.” Oh so carefully she reaches out with one hand and gently touches the darkest mark, where she’d seen him clutching at outside her window, her fingers delicately feeling for any damages.

“A little.” He admits, shaky breath warm against her forehead and she does her best to keep her hand steady as she checks over the rest of him, then feathers her fingers back over that first bruise.

“It doesn’t feel like anything’s broken or cracked, so that’s good.” She says, allowing her hand to linger for a second before letting it fall from his side. “A rib or two might be a little bruised, though, so we’ll put some ice on them later, just in case. Sound good?”

JJ nods and watches her with those ocean blue eyes as she pulls her own shirt over her head, leaving her in a plain black cami and shorts, before grabbing his hand once again and pulling him into the shower with her. The water’s just a tad too hot and it instantly starts turning her skin red but Sailor doesn’t mind, instead choosing to embrace the heat and the way it burns everything away, leaving behind brand new skin that’s ready for a new day, new adventures. She reaches up and gingerly wipes the blood from her best friend’s face; in a mirror of earlier, he leans his cheek into her palm, eyes slowly closing while both arms wrap around her waist and pull her close.

“Sail,” He whispers her nickname into the humid air between them and she barely registers the tremble in his voice before his knees buckle, sinking them both to the shower floor until they’re face to face, sitting in between each other’s legs. He clings to her, arms even tighter around her waist and face buried against her neck, and she feels the shake of his shoulders when she winds her own arms around them. One hand moves to steadily run through wet blond hair, over and over, comforting in the best way she knows how, the fingers of her other hand tracing circles on the bare skin of his back as water continues to rain down on them like the downpour outside.

She’s eerily reminded of another time they sat like this, sobbing in each other’s arms five years ago, the first time she saw just how cruel his father could be, the first time she realized she’d do absolutely everything and anything to keep him safe, and it was both one of the best and worst days of her life.

Eleven year old Sailor shoved her math textbook into her cluttered locker and kicked it shut with a scowl. She hated math, her math teacher, and especially whoever made her schedule- who in their right mind would put math in eighth-period? She swung her backpack onto her shoulder and grunted softly at the extra weight it carried. JJ hadn’t come to school that day and Sailor had volunteered to take his missed work to him; it made sense, considering she lived closest out of the pogues and it’d make her feel better if she got to check on him herself -there was a reason the rest of the group called her the mom friend, after all.

She’d already collected assignments from the classes he shared with Pope and Kiara as well as herself, so now she was just waiting for John B to drop off his own. As if summoned by her thoughts, the brunet boy rounded the corner and waved, weaving his way to her through their fellow middle-schoolers. “Sorry, you know how Mr. Jefferson likes to go on and on and on...” He said, pulling some papers from his backpack and handing them to the redhead. “Do you remember where J’s house is?”

Sailor rolled her eyes and carefully slid the homework into her own bag. “Considering I live, like, five streets away, I sure hope so.” She fired back, ignoring his cackle of laughter as they joined the rush of students, excited for the weekend, flooding out through the double doors of Kildare County Middle School. She lingered by her friend as he unlocked his bike from the rack and then climbed on, asking, “You’re helping out at the shop on Saturday, right?”

She nodded, scanning the sea of waiting cars and waving when she spotted her ride. “Yeah, why?”

“My dad and I are gonna hang out at the beach that day so we’ll stop by and say hi.” With a casual salute in her direction he slowly started pedaling down the road, calling back over his shoulder, “Tell JJ he can come too if he’s feeling better!”

“Tell him yourself!” She yelled after his retreating back, not surprised in the slightest when he didn’t turn around and disappeared into the trees. Alison’s beat up blue truck pulled up to the curb seconds later and the older redhead leaned out the open window, a shit-eating grin on her face as she joked, “Get in loser, we’re going shopping!”

Sailor laughed and climbed into the passenger seat, dropping her backpack on the floor with a loud thump. Alison winced at the sound, raising her eyebrow as she waited for the younger girl to put her seatbelt on. “What the hell do you have in there, rocks?”

“One of my friends missed school today so I have his homework. Do you mind driving by so I can drop it off? He only lives a few streets away.”

“Sure,” Alison replied, flicking on her turn signal and merging into the stream of cars leaving the school’s parking lot. “So who skipped: Smarty Pants, Bandana Boy, or Surfer Bro?”

The eleven year old giggled at the nicknames -she’d never admit it, but they were honestly pretty accurate- and replied, “Surfer Bro. And his name is JJ, Ali.”

“Rightttt, JJ. What do you think it stands for, huh? Jesse James? John Jacob?”

“Oh my Godddddd!”

The high school senior continued to come up with names, each more ridiculous than the last until Sailor exclaimed “There!” and directed her to park near a small, run-down house on a quiet road. She pulled a folder from her backpack and was out the door before the older girl could blink, calling over her shoulder, “I’ll be right back!”

The redhead slammed the truck door behind her and made her way toward the porch and what she assumed was the front door; she’d never been inside JJ’s house but he always came out to meet them through there so she figured it was a safe bet. The smile fell from her face, ears registering the sound of horrible, angry yelling just as she brought her fist down to knock and she anxiously fidgeted back and forth on the step, her heart starting to beat fast in her chest. What the hell was going on?

"Fucking hell!” An enraged shout came clear as day from inside and as she heard the person’s stomping approach, something in her, a feeling, urged her to hide the folder in her hand behind her back. She jumped in surprise when the door was suddenly ripped open, revealing a fuming, red-faced man who glared down at her with heavily lidded eyes and one hand clenched in a fist at his side, the other holding the threshold in a white-knuckled grip. “What the hell do you want?”

“H-hi, I’m Sailor, one of JJ’s friends? He wasn’t at school today so I came by to check on him.” She said, proud of herself for keeping most of the tremble out of her voice while she studiously avoided his cruel gaze, instead subtly trying to peer behind him and hopefully catch a glimpse of her friend. The man, who she realized with sheer horror had to be JJ’s dad, was absolutely terrifying, with breath reeking of booze and mouth curled into a vicious snarl as he moved to block her view into the house and snapped, “Kid’s fine. Now get the fuck outta here.”

“Can I just see-”

She was cut off when he slammed the door in her face with the hand that had been by his side and her eyes widened, stomach sinking with dread as she caught sight of the splotch of bright crimson left behind on the wood. Oh, God. This could not be happening. She remembered John B’s warning about JJ’s dad, saying he wasn’t a very nice man when she became friends with them last year but she didn’t recall him ever saying anything about this and it hits her like a freight train: he probably didn’t know. Her heart pounded against her ribcage. If JB didn’t know then Pope and Kiara definitely didn’t and a sickening feeling started to churn her belly, both at the thought of JJ facing all of this by himself and the fact that she alone had the power to help.

Inside the house, she heard his dad resume his screaming, every other word accompanied by a sickening thumping noise she’d only heard in person once before, a few years ago on the beach with her parents when two drunk tourons started wailing on each other over a spilled beer: the sound of a fist hitting flesh. Sailor started to panic, both hands flying to cover her mouth in terror. Underneath the screaming and punching, she couldn’t hear anything, any cry or yelp or whimper from her friend and, mind racing with million terrible, awful thoughts, she turned and ran back to the truck, flinging open the door and scrambling inside to grab Alison’s arm, folder in her hands falling to the floor.

“Ali, please, we’ve got to help him-”

“Whoa, where’s the fire?” The older girl joked as she looked up from her phone, smile falling from her lips when she caught sight of the eleven year old’s pale face and wide eyes. She reached over and placed her hands on Sailor’s slight, trembling shoulders. “What’s going on?”

Her lip quivered terribly as she told Alison everything she saw and heard, watching her expression slowly twist into outright dismay, the fingers on her shoulders tightening their grip when she finished, “Ali, what’re we gonna do? We have to help him right now!”

“Fuck, okay, first off let’s calm down- don’t give me that look, kid! We can’t just burst in there like Wonder Woman or something, let me- oh, look!” Alison pointed through windshield, where JJ’s dad furiously stalked from the house to his truck, climbing inside and violently slamming the door before taking off in a cloud of dust. Sailor quickly ducked when he drove by and stayed down until the older redhead gave her the all clear, “He’s gone. That was perfect timing, huh?”

She didn’t reply or even wait for her to unbuckle her seatbelt, taking off at a sprint and bounding onto the porch in no time, furiously knocking against the door. “Hey, J, are you there? It’s Sailor.”

There was no reply and her heart dropped to her stomach. Alison joined her on the front step, her face blanching when her eyes landed on the blood stain on the corner of the door. One of her hands reached out to grab the handle while the other found Sailor’s smaller one and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

“Come on,” With no hesitation and the bravery Sailor wished she had, the eighteen year old pushed the door open and pulled them both into the dusky house. The younger redhead wrinkled her nose at the sight of beer cans and pill bottles littering a circle around the couch but she pressed on, calling his name as the girls moved room to room.

“Sail?” The sound of JJ’s pained voice coming from the room at the end of the hall made her heart skip a beat and she dropped Alison’s hand, running forward and bursting through the door in a rush, not even thinking about what state her friend might’ve been in. Feeling like she’d just been sucker punched right in the gut at the sight of him lying face down on the floor with a small puddle of blood forming under his mouth, she dropped to her knees beside him and delicately took his hand in both of hers, nearly crying in relief when his fingers gripped tight to her palm. Behind her, she heard Alison’s sharp intake of breath as she entered the room, darting over to kneel on JJ’s other side and place a gentle hand on his shoulder, and together they carefully helped him roll onto his back, then up into a sitting position with the older girl’s arm behind him as a brace.

Her jaw trembled as she tried and tried to say something, anything; her head was filled with so many questions -what happened, how could he do this, when did this start?- but the only thing she managed to ask was a simple, “Why?”

“It’s just what he does.” He replied with a shrug, wincing at the movement, “I’m sorry, Sail.”

“What the hell are you apologizing for?” She asked incredulously, then followed his finger as he pointed at a pile of jagged yellowish-brown pieces on the floor by his bed.

“He broke the shell you gave me.” He looked so upset, so distraught over the broken whelk and she felt her heart swell with waves of affection for her friend, who was more concerned about her broken gift than he was about himself.

“Hey,” She said softly, turning away from the mess to look him in the eye with a small smile, her hand reaching out on its own accord to brush a lock of fine blond hair away from a cut near his temple. “It’s just a shell, okay? I’ll find you another one.”

The sight of blood on his teeth when he returned her smile reminded her of the task at hand and she shook her head, wrapping her thin arm around his waist. “Let’s get you out of here. Think you can stand?” At his nod, both girls put one of his arms around their shoulders and slowly stood, shuffling out the door with all the grace and speed of an old man with two bad knees, but hey, they were moving and getting JJ out of that terrible place, so she’d go as slow as they needed to, even if her anxiety was getting worse and worse with each passing second they spent in the house.

After loading the kids onto the bench seat of the truck, Alison quickly drove them to the empty Flynn residence -Carmen and Ryan still working at the shop- and helped Sailor move JJ into the bathroom. “I’ll go grab you some towels and dry clothes, okay? I think some of your dad’s old stuff might fit him.” She said, watching as the young girl kneeled beside her friend and started untying his shoes.

The eleven year old nodded at her older friend and sent her a small smile. “Thanks, Ali.”

“No problem, kiddos.” With a quick smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes she was gone, heading down the hall toward the laundry room.

Sailor reached over and turned the shower on as hot as possible. “Okay, um, take as long as you need, I guess. I’ll wait outside.” She jerked her thumb toward the hall but before she could even take a step, his hand darted out and grabbed her wrist.

“Stay.” It was more of a demand than a question and JJ seemed embarrassed to even be saying it, the uninjured parts of his face turning an endearing shade of pink. “Please?”

She just nodded and reached a leg out to gently kick the door shut, her mind racing. She stayed but what the hell should she do now, keep her back turned? Get in the shower with him? From the way he was fidgeting back and forth and avoiding her eyes, he was probably thinking the same thing.

“Oh, come on.” She finally said after a minute or two of decidedly not looking at each other and kicked off her sandals, darting forward on impulse to grab his hand and pull them both under the spray. The water uncomfortably soaked into their clothes and made their movements sluggish as they clumsily shuffled around -stepping on each other’s toes and mumbling identical apologies- before finding a position that was only a little bit awkward in the confined space, his arms on either side of her waist and bracing against the wall, her hands tentatively resting on his shoulders.

“This okay?” She asked, feeling her cheeks reddening from more than just the steam curling around them and frizzing her hair, and JJ nodded, swallowing thickly and blinking away a droplet of red-tinged condensation that slid down his forehead. Her hand, moving on its own accord, slowly reached for his face until her palm gently came to rest against his flushed cheek, the tip of her pointer finger just brushing a small cut that sliced through one eyebrow.

“How...” Sailor shook her head, taking a deep breath before finally asking the question that’d been on her mind since this whole thing started, “How long has this been happening?”

Once again he avoided her wide-eyed gaze, eyelids fluttering shut as he answered hesitantly, quietly, “I...I don’t remember a time when it didn’t.”

His answer chipped away the last brick in the dam and the floodgates broke. She flung herself into his chest, arms wrapping around his shoulders and fingers twisting in the sodden fabric of his shirt, sobbing into the warm skin of his neck. He froze in her embrace, whole body stock-still until something in him seemed to break too, and his own arms encircled her waist, bit by bit, pulling her close as he buried his face into her shoulder and two sixth graders slowly slumped to the shower floor in a tangled mess of limbs.

“J, why didn’t you say anything?”

His body trembled in her arms and she inhaled sharply at his reply of, “Because I’m not worth it.”

Pulling away from his neck to rest her forehead against his, she cupped his face in both hands and forced him to look her in the eyes, her voice quiet but adamant, insistent as she said, “Don’t you dare say that again, got it? You are worth it. So, so worth it.”

The look behind his red-rimmed, ocean blue gaze was made of pure, unadulterated disbelief and Sailor, at a loss, wracked her brain for something, anything she could do to make him see himself the way she did: loyal, adventurous, funny, and oh so brave, already a beloved, dear friend to her in the short time she’d known him. How could she help him realize he was so much more than his father’s abuse?

‘What can I do to make you believe me?’

An epiphany came to her like a bolt of lightning straight to the heart. It was more than a little crazy and the thought of actually doing it was lowkey terrifying but she’d seen it work beautifully for Alison and her girlfriend Peyton that one time and hell, she was so desperate to help her friend that she’d do just about anything. And so before her anxious mind could start to overthink she surged forward, both hands still holding his face in a gentle grip, and firmly pressed her lips to his.

JJ’s eyes were almost comically wide while he stared, frozen still at her touch, and her own eyes were just as huge as she held the kiss for a few seconds and then abruptly pulled back, her face slowly changing into a shade very similar to her hair.

“Y-you, I-” He stuttered, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water as a deep pink flush started to color the tan skin of his neck. “Wh-why-”

“Because you are worthy, J. Promise me you won’t forget that.” Her words were as fierce as the hug she pulled him into, only letting the tension bleed out of her when she felt him gradually return her embrace and nod against her shoulder.

“I promise, Sail.”

“Good.”

And with that they fell silent, holding each other tight until the shower ran cold.

Sailor didn’t know it at the time but that hadn’t been just her first kiss but JJ’s too, as they never talked about it until two years later, during a game of truth or dare with the rest of the pogues. Neither actually told the truth, both giving a vague answer about a bet that seemed to placate their friends enough to let the matter drop, never to be brought up again.

The only kiss that happens today is the light brush of her lips against his forehead as she holds him close, even as the water slowly begins to lose its warmth. His embrace is tight, their limbs intertwined so fully that it’s hard to discern where one ends and the other begins and when he speaks, she has to strain to hear the words mumbled against her neck over the pounding spray of the shower.

��I don’t know how much more I can take.”

His confession cuts her deep. Hearing him admit something so utterly heartbreaking and vulnerable, coming from the side of him Sailor alone gets to see, ignites a fury that simmers under her skin and burns her from the inside out, thoughts turning venomous and, dare she say, downright homicidal. Fuck his dad. Fuck his dad and everything he’s ever done to hurt her best friend, both with and without fists.

“If I could get away with murder, I would.”

It’s true. For JJ, she’d do anything and everything to keep him safe without hesitation, up to and including maiming his dad so he could never touch him again (and if she happened to take it a little too far and straight up kill the bastard, she’d most definitely be fine with it.). He laughs, but it’s empty, hollow, and sorely lacking the joy, the carefreeness, the pure life that it normally radiates.

“You’re not the only one.”

Some time later, after the water raining down on them turns ice cold and their tears have dried, they reluctantly disentangle themselves from each other and towel off before making a quick detour to the kitchen to grab an ice pack for his ribs and have a meager dinner of sandwiches made with the last of her bread and a near empty jar of Nutella. He laughs, for real this time, when he reads the note she writes herself on the fridge future sailor, as much as you want to, you can’t live off just nutella and sheer spite, okay? please go shopping. love, past sailor <3 and grabs the marker out of her hand, adding +past jj and a little smiley face that makes her smile brightly.

They return to her room where they change, back to back, into dry clothes -one of her dresser drawers is full of his things she’s stolen acquired over the years- and, after throwing everything wet, including their discarded shirts and blanket retrieved from the bathroom, into the washing machine to be dealt with some other time, they lie on her bed side by side, shoulder to shoulder, wrapped up together in a spare throw stashed at the bottom of her closet. Binx slinks up from his spot at their feet and lazily drapes himself across their laps, purring like a motorboat when Sailor starts running her hand along his back.

“I almost sat on those,” JJ says, handing over her glasses, “and this.” He holds her forgotten book in his hands, casually flipping through the pages before turning it over and scanning the back cover.

“Have you read it before?”

He shrugs, a barely-there grimace briefly twisting his features as the motion jostles his sore ribs. “Started it, never finished.”

“Well,” She starts, slipping her glasses on and snatching the book out of his grasp, “how about we fix that? I’ll read, you pet the cat.”

Sailor’s voice is soft and steady as she starts to read aloud, a content smile on her face that’s echoed by the boy lying beside her when she settles against his side, head pillowed on the arm he curls around her shoulders without a thought. JJ’s the near perfect listener, only snickering once or twice at her total butchering of some of the more difficult Greek names (how come she can say Hephaestus just fine but gets tripped up on Dionysus?) but otherwise hanging off her every word and the relaxed ease with which he runs his hand through the ends of her damp hair fills her with a warmth, a happiness that she can’t describe but never wants to stop.

Hidden away from the rest of the world, curled up together on her bed, they forget the day’s past horrors and replace them with bright hopes for the future, exchanging comforting touches, deliberate yet played off as unintentional, in the soft glow of the bedside lamp -a caress of knuckles here, a brush of a palm there- as she reads into the night, until the cloudy sky darkens to black and they’re both fighting off the languid pull of sleep.

“I think that’s enough for today.” He plucks the book from her hands without waiting for a response and marks their place with a gas station receipt she was using as a makeshift placeholder, and setting it on the beside drawer.

“It’s your turn to read tomorrow,” He takes her glasses off with gentle fingers as she speaks into what little space still exists between them (that’s not otherwise occupied by Binx), smiling at the slow graze of his thumb along her cheek and nestles further against his side. “I’m done botching the names of deities for a while.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Damn it, Sailor kind of hates it when he says that cause it makes her feel things that she’s not quite ready to think about yet. Thankfully, her blush is swallowed by the darkness as he turns off the light and settles down beside her, arm slung low over her waist; her hand carefully brushes against his bruised ribs over the old shirt he wears, ice pack long ago thawed and thrown somewhere onto the hardwood floor.

“How do these feel? Better?”

She feels JJ nod, his chin brushing the top of her head. “Much.” There’s a pause, long enough that she starts to feel like she’s about to nod off, then he whispers, “Thank you, Sail. I know I don’t say it enough.”

She takes a deep breath, fingers stilling on his side, “Because you don’t need to, J. Remember what I said earlier, in the bathroom?”

He nods again but doesn’t reply, instead drawing circles on the small of her back, so she takes it as a cue to continue, “I care about you, okay? You don’t have to thank me for that. I’m just...doing what feels right.”

After a beat, the arm she’s using as a pillow curls and pulls her tighter against him as he says quietly, almost shyly, “I care about you, too.”

The rain outside had slowed to a drizzle without either teenager noticing and the gentle pitter-patter against the roof casts a somnolent spell into the air, dazed and dreamy. It wraps around the pair, not unlike the way they wrap around each other, and slowly, easily, safely, they drift off as one.

let me know what you think!

Sonic into the Sonicverse- I mean Sonic Prime but Lani meeting other Lanis!

That would be so freaking hilarious XD Lani would be confused at seeing her counterparts and how different they act. Speaking of which I came up with their personalities!

SatAM Lani wouldn't be Sonic's gf because Sally is more important; while she starts off strong, later on in the Preboot she slowly loses her personality in order to shove her into a love dodecahedron - and then pair her with a genderbent version of herself when it's all said & done

Boom Lani is the only other human on the island & no one comments on that; talks like a surfer & often pokes fun at townsfolk who constantly nitpick her and her friends for simply doing their jobs - which is also a subtle jab at the types of people who view the Sonic franchise as a punching bag IGN's "Sonic was Never Good!"

Underground!Lani is a member of the Freedom Fighters & joins the band as the lead singer because Sam Vincent I love you but your singing voice for Sonic kinda blows

Lego!Lani wants to be a Master Builder and usually builds things like submarines; she's also friends with my Ninjago & Monkie Kid OCs in the Movieverse

AOSTH!Lani is the one girl of the group who is the Straight Man but also saddled with misfortune

Classic Lani is eleven years old (sorry I still hold on to Classic Sonic being the modern Sonic but young HC) & has a major supporting role

Adventure Lani is now a main character! Yay!

Fleetway!Lani hates her Sonic and somehow is the Sassy Black Woman

X!Lani was born and lives on Earth; wouldn't worship the ground Chris walks on; the audience is left to wonder why wasn't she the main human protagonist due to being actually relatable and sympathetic

Movie!Lani isn't all that different from her game counterpart, only she's very geeky & like Mia from Princess Diaries

Three Minutes to Eternity: My ESC 250 (#210-201)

#210: Joy Fleming -- Ein Lied Kann Eine Brücke Sein (Germany 1975)

“Hör auf zu spielen und lerne zu fühlen, Wie viele Menschen Freunde sind, Lerne zu singen, vertraue so wie ein Kind,”

“Stop playing and learn how to feel, How many people are friends Learn how to sing, trust just like a child”

For an older and low-placed entry, this German entry has become a fan favorite! Despite this, I wonder if I really like this enough to make my top three of 1975, because I don't go back to listen to it often.

But when I do, it just takes the conductor's stomping to get me into the mood. It's just a great way to start a song~

While the chorus somehow bugs me a little bit, because of how jarring it is (Joy shouts it all out, in comparison to the verses where she has a somewhat lower register), how it builds really helps with getting the party started. The orchestration also helps with the joie de vivre of the song, and Joy manages to live up to her name on stage.

Personal ranking: =3rd/19 Actual ranking: 17th(?!)/19 in Stockholm

#209: Muriel Day -- The Wages of Love (Ireland 1969)

“There will be bridges to be crossed And there'll be teardrops to be lost...”

Ireland’s first upbeat song is a diversion from their first four entries in more ways than one. Not only it’s performed by a woman for the first time, but it also warns about the pains of love—while it’s a great experience, you have to pay a lot in the process. (This actually reminds me of one vintage Eurovision blogger talking about how Horoscopes incorporates a more liberal sound with Ireland's conservatism at the time--maybe it was from the same lines?)

And Muriel has an absolute ball on stage with her uber-high lime green dress. She twirls her microphone around when arriving, bounces up and down like she just got a can of Red Bull, and dances as if it was for the last time. The orchestration really helps out on giving out this vivacious vibe (though the lyric "it can make you live/it can make you die" in context is quite horrifying behind the upbeat track).

Basically, this was an upbeat track which I would've switched out for one of the upbeat winners.

Personal ranking: 3rd/16 (though here, it's 4th/16. A mismatch in rankings, which you can see again in the future) Actual ranking: 7th/16 in Madrid

#208: Alenka Gotar -- Cvet z Juga (Slovenia 2007)

"Moj beli cvet, moj daljni svet Daj, vrni se, moj bodi spet”

“My white flower, my faraway world Come, return, be mine again”

I've never been a big fan of opera--not just in Eurovision, but also in general. I recognize they have beautiful voices and worked on them for the performance, but I never really like the instrumental or the actual song.

Cvet z juga, however, managed to incorporate opera in a way which is actually enjoyable. Not only because of Alenka’s powerful vocals, but also the nostalgia created with the poetic lyrics and the instrumental. It’s a combination of classical and modern--it's not a dance-floor bop (despite the percussion in the background), but it's definitely out of the ordinary.

Combined with a subtle but effective gimmick (Alenka's light-up hand at the end), and you have Slovenia's first qualifier in the semi-final. Definitely deserved.

Unfortunately, Alenka's gone off a bad path since then...)

Personal ranking: 6th/42 Actual ranking: 15th/24 GF in Helsinki

#207: Giorgios Alkaios and Friends -- Opa! (Greece 2010)

"Έκαψα το χθες, νύχτες μου παλιές Κι από το μηδέν αρχίζω όσο κι αν δε θες Δάκρυα καυτά ψέμματα πολλά Πλήρωσ�� όσο χρωστούσα και τα δανεικά"

"I burnt the past, my old nights And I start from scratch even if you don’t want me to Hot tears, too many lies I paid what I owed and borrowed"

"Motherf---ing testosterone!"

The Scandinavia and the World recap for the 2010 contest basically sums up Opa! as this, with all the tribal cries and torn up shirts. I've also heard it described as the "Love Love Peace Peace" of Greek entries, with the prevalent cry "Opa!", strong ethnic influences, and Cretean lyre to boot.

But beyond that, there's a deeper meaning behind the lyrics. By late 2009-early 2010, Greece was facing the burden's of the Great Recession, which would envelop the country in many years. Their GDP would drop by 26% between 2008 and 2014, and unemployment rose up to 25% at the same time. This economic maelstrom led to public uprisings and an exodus of the highly educated.

Opa is a cry for joy--not just to party, but also to fight against a wave of despair considering the circumstances. It strives to give life and inspiration by those who need it, even if it means starting over. And while economics will trump national pride in the end, one asserts themselves as stronger than they think. And that's what makes it an important part of the Greek Golden Age at Eurovision.

Personal ranking: 6th/39 Actual ranking: 8th/25 (GF) in Oslo

#206: Boris Novkovic feat. Lado -- Vukovi Umiru Sami (Croatia 2005)

"Do zore je ostao još koji sat A vani nemir, k’o da je rat Oblačim kaput i odlazim Da sve zaboravim"

"Only a few hours left till dawn And outside unrest, as if a war is on I put my coat on and leave To forget everything"

Balkan ballads are one of the main joys out of Eurovision; obviously from that region, they feature folk instrumentation and sad lyrics about love. Vukovi umiru sami fits into this mold well, but I only managed to put this in tenth place because of the variety of songs on offer, ranging from glam rock to a wholesome peace ballad.

Over time, however, it has grown on me.

The poetic lyrics stood out the most for me--they tell of an end of a relationship on the Danube (which really grounds the song in its origins, despite the fact I associate it with Central European countries as a whole) and the loneliness of the man in it. There's a mournful nature about it, especially with the choir in the background.

And the way it build is so fantastic, amplifying the story and the stakes. The "Dunavoms" between the last two choruses are well-done and elevate this song to greatness.

I planned to rewatch 2005 to see how my rankings change, and thought it would get to be in my top five. Because of a typo on my list, I needed another song to fit the overall order of the list.

And finally, Vukovi umiru sami is in my top five. :)

Personal ranking: 5th/39 Actual ranking: 11th/24 GF in Kyiv

#205: Marlayne -- One Good Reason (the Netherlands 1999)

“Give me one good reason and I will give you two Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say you do...”

The guitar intro made me think this would be a song I would listen to outside of Eurovision. It reminded me of Michelle Branch’s songs in the early 2000s (of which, Breathe is my current all-time favorite song); her debut album, The Spirit Room, would only be released in 2001!

Alternatively, it has a very country-pop vibe, but it still has a sense of optimism which continues through the entire song. I love how sunny and earnest it is, and it got a really solid result out of it! Unfortunately, it would be the Netherlands' best placing until 2013, but at least it was a jolt of quality in a mediocre year.

Personal ranking: 4th/23 Actual ranking: 8th/23 in Jerusalem

#204: Niamh Kavanaugh -- In Your Eyes (Ireland 1993)

“Love's been building bridges between your heart and mine I'm safe here on my island, but I'm out on the edge this time”

One of the most nail-biting votes in Eurovision came in this particular contest: because Malta's phone connection malfunctioned, they had to wait until the end to give their points. At that point, Ireland was 11 points ahead, which means if Malta gave the runner-up their twelve, the latter would win by one point.

The Maltese jury ended up giving Ireland their twelve, which would give Ireland their second consecutive win in the 1990s, along with a point record which would only last a year.

I’ve never felt the vulnerability of falling in love, but I love the narrative arc in the lyrics, which crescendos with the chorus. Niamh’s voice is a bit harsh at times, but delivers on it with a stately grace in a choice suit.

What also seals In Your Eyes for me was the graceful orchestration thanks to Noel Kelehan. It's especially prevalent in the chorus--the studio cut doesn't do it justice...

Personal ranking: =6th/25 Actual ranking: 1st/25 in Millstreet

#203: Sonia -- Better the Devil You Know (United Kingdom 1993)

“I'll give you my heart and my soul if you give me your love..”

...not unlike with the song Ireland was competing with for the win! While the studio cut is decent enough, Better the Devil You Know wouldn't have gotten so close to victory without the live music aspect of it.

It’s not only the orchestration here, but also Sonia’s fun performance and her cute moves. The track is reminiscent of SAW, but it feels like being at a sock hop in a diner and dancing the night away. The backing vocalists do a good job too; I like how they harmonize the in the chorus .

That all being said, would've this made a better winner? It's hard to tell--it would've been more upbeat than most of the 1990s other winners, but In Your Eyes has aged quite well. And I have several other favorites, so I'm not the best one to comment on it.

Personal ranking: =6th/25 Actual ranking: 2nd/25 in Millstreet

#202: Serebro -- Song #1 (Russia 2007)

“Gotta tease you, nasty guy So take it, don't be shy Put your cherry on my cake And taste my cherry pie”

Unfortunately, song #1 neither placed on top of the 2007 class, nor was it the first song performed that year So, in more than one case, Song #1 is a misnomer.

Nor are they particularly unique amongst bands--Serebro has some similarities to tATu in 2003, in that they are a girl group with a sensual aesthetic. But while tATu's Eurovision entry is more dark, Serebro's has more attitude and edge.

Such saucy lyrics are what makes Song #1 such a total jam, albeit one the fandom overlooks. The dark production increases the attitude of this song, and I love the girls’ stage presence too! Especially those costumes (again, going back to the tATu comparisons, in that they were best known for their school uniforms, hehe); they never fail in adding some sexiness to the performance.

Personal ranking: 5th/42 Actual ranking: 3rd/24 GF in Helsinki

#201: Severina -- Moja stikla (Croatia 2006)

“Zvrc, zvrc, tražit ćeš moj broj, Kuc, kuc, kucaj nekoj drugoj, Jer još trava nije nikla, Tamo gdje je stala moja štikla!”

"Ring, ring, you'll search for my number, Knock, knock, go knocking somewhere else, For the grass has not yet sprouted, Where my high heel has stepped!”

There’s a lot of silly lyrics in Moja Stikla. From mentioning “sex” to “Afrika Paprika”, it’s easy to suggest that this is nonsensical. I’m reading over the lyrics again myself, and they tell quite a different story—of a woman who just wants men to stop hitting on her.

Even now, I'm still confused on how Zumba and African paprika make sense in avoiding men. Or high heels.

But it all doesn't matter when the music starts. Severina's backing vocalists add to the performances, with their solid harmonies and fun presence. Combined with Severina’s own high energy, it’s a good example of turbo folk (even though there was a bit of controversy about whether it actually sounds like Croatian music), and it’s all kinds of fun!

Personal ranking: 4th/37 Actual ranking: =12th/24 GF in Athens

HENRIK LILJENQUIST—

IG info/Bio: @/adventuresbyhenrik | 53.1k followers — “imma wild boi🌿🌏🧗 | happily taken👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

23 (24) years old

Parents are both Swedish and only speak Swedish, leaving henrik to also become fluent

His father Halvi is a pilot

His mother Lova is a race car driver

Siblings? Probably a brother, named Jahan & younger by two or three years + they get along quite well

Born & raised in Isle of Wight, England + loves it there & thinks it’s the best place for him to live, it’s his own private island in his mind plus he’s always finding something to do. He stays active

Climbing & wilderness survival instructor, he gets to talk as much as he wants while also teaching people AND all while being active! Sounds like the perfect job for him

Probably developed ADHD around his pre-teen age, leaving his parents to find him something he enjoys + can slow down and focus on

used to be on meds for it

Was well-known in high school, probably in the yearbook club since he was able to run around & get to know people but was kinda shit at knowing the functions of a camera

His selfie game has gotten a lot better now but he mostly posts anything but his face. You’ll see more of his face on his stories & location shots on his feed

Feels his hair is his best physical feature & his prized possession, would never THINK about cutting it. Even just a trim is a bit much for him

Always tries to be positive but at the same time can be condescending since he sometimes won’t pick his words wisely ex.) when he gave MC a backhanded “compliment” about makeup, being active, + wanting them to “think of others ” feelings — just because someone is opposite from you doesn’t mean you have to shit on the way they carry themselves...that’s my issue with him

maybe he’s a Taurus?

Loves fall & spring, more so fall since that’s when the weather feels nicest to him plus allergy season is a REAL bitch

The guy’s real Adventurous & always managing to find something to do. If you’re ever bored just hit him up, he has plenty of recommendations

Family owns a cottage & he’s the one who goes out there more than his own family does! “You should just sell it to me at this point!” He tells his parents over dinner often & it is strongly considered

Has five birds & a husky, when he goes on road trips they’re always with him. Which can get a little hectic at times but they’re his family, he’s a, “birdog dad”

BLAKE secretly dislikes them all, feeling like they take up space sometimes (especially when she wants to cuddle) but she deals with it since she cares for the guy — yes, they’re still dating

She’s been convincing him to cut a few inches off of his hair which he took like a slap in the face, “that’s like me asking you to quit speaking up for humans!” “No, no it’s not.”

They’re polar opposites with flaws which causes disagreements between the two of them by putting each other in their places but they learn to compromise? (*insert eartha Kitt gif laughing here*] if they want this to work

His mother seems to be the only one who dislikes blake (she strongly feels he should have bought MC back home...that’s right she watched the show from time to time. Not always since she doesn’t care for reality tv but her friends encouraged her to watch bits and pieces) while his dad and brother approve

It is tense when Blake and his mom are in the same room which makes Henrik sad since he believes Blake deserves a chance. He took a chance on her and it seems to be going pretty well so why couldn’t his mother just be happy for him like the rest of the family is?

Henrik loves his low-maintenance girls who are open to trying new things with him, Blake is usually down most of the time but she likes her personal space too..which henrik struggles to understand

He wants her to live with him, he’s sure his parents will let him have the cottage if Blake decides to live with him but Blake loves her freedom in Kingston

It’s hidden but I feel like he might be one of those guys that feels like “a woman should follow a man” since that’s what his father installed into his boys— which failed because his wife isn’t just a housewife, she has goals and went after them

I feel like Blake turns to social media almost always to post about her feelings (I can’t remember what I picked the first time around as my occupation but as I’m currently playing I picked human rights campaigner so) but it’s mostly subtle shade & it always goes recognized by fans which brings drama between her, mc x Bobby

Henrik jumps in because what kind of guy would he be if he didn’t have his gf’s back? Doesn’t care for the drama but he & Bobby usually said slick shit to each other in the villa, it’s safe to say they’re not really friends but they’re not enemies either that’s mostly between their gf/wife

Henrik doesn’t care enough about Bobby to dislike him but he won’t put up with his shit any longer and what easier way to do that than online? He feels like they can settle this with a phone call but Blake & MC aren’t with the shits and don’t want their men speaking to each other

Henrik & Bobby eventually have a chat in secret anyways

Henrik warns Blake that this can effect her job status if she doesn’t calm down since she uses social media for her cause

She usually knows when to stop but can’t help it if it slips out sometimes

They talk it out and move on usually with whatever fun idea henrik may have

Owns a ford bronco from the 90’s that used to be his uncle’s who builds tree houses for a living and is still running, a jeep gladitor, or some sort of pickup truck

Knows how to make the best apricot jam

All about saving the bees

Loves animals, probably on his journey to veganism if he’s not already there

We all know this fucking guy likes eating M0sS

“Embarrassing fact” but uh big fan of twilight, feels like Seth Clearwater and him are meant to be best buds but he also stans the Volturi 😷

Him and Lucas of course remained the best of mates, since they live 2 hrs away from each other and are always busy living their lives they always have to plan out when they can hangout but that fails 60% of the time when henrik pops up at Lucas’ job or at his flat not giving him a choice but to hang out

They’re always vacationing together too? Sure Henrik is his own version of low-key while Lucas likes a bit of luxury...they still find a balance to just have a good time regardless if they live different lifestyles...they’re basically married

Always texting if they’re not hanging out, henrik with his memes that Lucas doesn’t understand & Lucas just checking in on henrik’s well being which leads the conversation to many topics

He’s actually cool with Gary now? They like/comment on each other’s posts & even text here and there

Even ran into Rocco once on a road trip, that was interesting but when life gives you lemons...we’ll just say that

Even him and Ibrahim share recommendations through text or DM’s which is nice! Henrik is always down for friends even tho they’re not like his personal friends (except for Lucas, he fits into his criteria)

Most of his work is physical and talking but he goes the extra mile by hiking every Sunday either with his friends, Blake, or family — he’s genuinely likes being one with nature

If he’s at the cottage, he’s always outside, chopping extra wood, making sure the yard looks like it belongs on a magazine, or takes the boat out on lake to nap since he doesn’t like to fish as much anymore

Currently trying to grow strawberries but some animal keeps eating them :/

Adores adventure time, the x-files, bobs burgers + animal planet, and travel channels—like he’s a real dad

If he could shower outside everyday, he would, it’s such a freeing experience to him

His outings consist of being in the woods 24/7 so in his mind when he brings Blake out there with him, it’s a version of a date, whenever they spend time together is a date to him, which she has to remind him that she wants to do something different like getting dressed up every now and then + go out to dinner which he HATES but he’ll do his best to please her, as long as the restaurant is more earthy than snobby he’s okay

100% would survive the apocalypse, he knows how to make due with what he’s got, he’s always been that way

Enjoys rom-com’s so he’ll laugh at how cringe they are but still enjoy it, indie films, ALITA was the best film of 2019 to him & currently his fav film is, “the call of the wild” with Harrison Ford

His favorite films ever are Indiana Jones, Lara Coft: Tomb raider, Terminator, and I am legend

Aliens ARE real, they’re out there and he’ll be part of the reason they’ve been exposed

I feel like he wanted to be an astronaut growing up but then realized he’d be a confined space for long periods of time and said cancel that shit lol + he isn’t the greatest at science. History? He did real well in that subject

I think he loves Lorde, listens to Bon Iver—especially on early morning commutes to work, Rex Orange County, Omar Apollo, Joji, the nbhd, the driver era, kid cudi...yktfv

Celeb crushes?/types: The main girls from Charlie’s angels 2019, Alexa PenaVega... “you know Carmen from spy kids?” Diana silvers, Dove Cameron, JAMIE CHUNG, & VANESSA HUDGENS

Anthem = Wallows, “OK”

im pretty sure nobody wants this content but:

aged up, no bending atla x fallout 4 crossover!!!

(spoilers for some atla and fo4 stuff obviously, and in sukis part i rant abt the ending where ur against the brotherhood, so major spoilers for that too)

lets start with katara

katara is a minuteman, no lets be real shes the goddamn general, preston took one look at her and immediately knew she'd protect the people of the commonwealth with all she had

elder maxon is actually scared of her, which is why he refuses to let her on the prydwen so none of his underlings see him fold under her stare

shes probably the first minuteman that hancock like actually truly respects bc he knows shes 100% abt the ppl and goodneighbors motto is literally "of the people for the people"

katara is a probably a bit conflicted about him at first bc u know hes a bit ruthless for her taste, but she can see his heart's in the right place

she definitely helped marcy long with her grief and turned her anger into smth productive, aka marcy is now probably a high ranking minuteman

sokka

def a railroad agent (i read alchemy, sue me)

him and tinker tom are the best buddies and yes sokka got convinced to drink his weird serum thing, stop bringing it up!!

god just the crazy inventions those two would cook up, they'd probs scare the shit out of the institute

on topic of the institute, theres probably like at least one abduction attempt from them a month but hes not only smart but a badass too

hes also one of the only people dr. amari is actually nice to and will routinely rescue him from irmas relentless flirting

he definitely fanboys with kent collony over the shroud

i feel like deacon would drive him mad, because on one hand he gets the secrecy and that he doesn't want anyone to get too close but also deacs, my man u cant shut everyone out with ur lies

okay now im thinking abt them bonding over their dead gfs and am sad

when he meets nick he has to hold back soooo hard to not ask invasive questions, bc nick is basically a walking insight into the institute, but hes alao a person who sokka respects and really doesn't wanna be an ass to

toph

also with the railroad(but shes a heavy ofc), probably mostly bc shed get more action there

sokka and tinker tom def made her some really cool gadget à la seismic sense so shes still a BEAST

she can also hear a raider ambush/lurking wildlife before anyone else and if shes not with anyone who needs to avoid that kinda stuff she pulls out her trusty missile launcher and makes quick work of her enemies

probably participates in cage matches at the combat zone and raiders shit their pants when they see her

toph is either dating glory or cait or both, cant decide, just badass wlw

or maybe fahrenheit 🤔, i mean the only refrence of tophs type we have is that she mightve had a crush on sokka who is not only strong but smart and u cant tell me fahr isnt smart, she might only have like 5 lines but at least one of them is abt chess which is a common shorthand for intelligence and she is undoubtedly a badass so yes toph and fahr! never thought id think of those two as a ship but here we are haha

zuko

is the silver shroud, you can't change my mind he's a righteous theatre kid ofc he's the shroud

suki

also a minute man, probably kataras second in command

shes the one training the minutemen at the castle

danse tried so desperately to recruit her but suki is too smart to fall for the bos' bullshit

probably plays into his whole spiel tho to get an inside look at the bos and takes them down from the inside

and not by blowing the ship up wtf there are kids on the prydwen what the fuck why cant u get them out beforehand??? why is that the only option to get the bos out of the commonwealth???? they steal poor farmers crops ffs i want them gone! WITHOUT killing innocent children that are being indoctrinated what the fuck

aang

im actually having a really hard time to imagine aang in fo4 bc u know its a biiit violent for a pacifist monk but i really dont wanna just make him a farmer or some boring shit, its just that stuff usually needs killing in some way in fo4

okay nvm i can def picture him on the island mediating that whole conflict between arcadia, the children of the atom and far harbor

oh god aang finding out how dima kept the 'peace' would be a brutal fucking scene, i dont wanna spoil too much if possible but aang would def feel really betrayed by dima

i can see aang arriving at the island and really trying to make everyone understand that dima only wants arcadia to be safe and left alone and i have no idea how he would actually deal with dima once the truth comes out but fuuck, bending or not aang def entered the avatar state there

but just to be clear he still protects arcadia, just bc its built by smn who thinks the ends justify the means doesnt mean that synths dont deserve to live in fucking peace for once

also aang would absolutely adore erikson and his puppies ^^

but back to the commonwealth

aang would for sureee advocate against the mind wipes the railroad makes and try to find other ways to help synths

he probs cannot deal with desdemonia saying that erasing the synths memory and identity is the only way to keep them safe, aang knows what loss means and he wont stand for it

and i can see him do a lot of the actual building in the settlements and helping all those small communities to flourish

now for the crack, as in i dont think this is in character but i thought of it so now yall have to read abt it:

the fire nation is in nuka world, also there is no overboss per se bc except for like 3 lines we know nothing of colter

ozai leads the operators, but also kinda everyone, so basically the overboss

post breakdown, pre redemption azula leads the disciples

zhao leads the pack bc like mason hes an animal and i hate him ^^

gage is dead bc unfortunately ozai isnt dumb, altho ozai was dumb enough to underestimate zuko when he literally told him his plan to join the gaang, but then again gage didnt like colter bc he didnt get shit done and unfortunately ozai does get shit done so gage is probably delighted :(

if anyone actually read this and wants to add on pleaseee do!!!

#atla #avatar #avatar the last airbender #fallout 4 #fo4 #katara #sokka #toph #zuko #suki #aang #atla x fo4 #crossover #dumb thoughts #i wrote almost all of this either high or at 3 am so please feel free to disagree with me haha #also if anyone does end up reblogging this ill probs dm u like right away bc u like two of my fave franchises enough to understand this pos

PGSM Reinako Headcanon 2

Here are my post-Special Act, PGSM Reinako headcanon no one asked for. Fair warning, it’s a really long read/rant and it may cause cavity from the excessive sweetness. ;)

This list of Headcanon includes:

Sleeping habits

The Reinako residence

Who cooks?

♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀

Here’s my take on answering one of the most important universal questions fans asks themselves when they think about their otp: BIG SPOON OR LITTLE SPOON?

My answer: They switch often. Whoever is the second person to get into bed typically ends up being the big spoon.

Rei and Minako basically have very opposing sleep schedules. By practice as a miko and then priestess, Rei was conditioned to live a very healthy sleeping schedule that typically involves going to bed at ~9pm and waking up at 4am for morning meditations (I distantly recall this being canon in manga?). Minako, on the other hand, has her sleep schedule dictated by her work schedule; some times she’s exhausted and goes to bed as early as 7pm on a weekend, other times she might not get home until the ungodly hours of 3am because of filming schedules.

Big spoon Rei is loving and considerate. She slides in from the back and gets as physically close as possible without risking waking her gf up from the much needed rest. She puts her outer arm around and hold’s onto the idol’s hand wherever it’s located, smiling whenever she feels Minako’s hand reflexively squeezes her hand. She makes sure they are both comfortably covered and snuggled in, and takes care to not hold onto Minako too tight in case Minako needs to get out of bed before she does. Out of the two of them, Minako’s the one who’s more likely to need to leave in a rush for things, and Rei strives to make Minako’s day-to-day life as easy as possible.

Opposite to that, Big Spoon Minako is playful and possessive. Minako slips into bed and gets as physically close to Rei as possible, and is not concerned with accidentally jolting Rei awake, because dear god she misses her gf so much! Between her long work hours, and the much too often occasions that she doesn’t even get to be home with Rei due to traveling for concert tours or non-local filming locations, she doesn’t actually get to interact with Rei in person as much as she would like to. Minako finds enjoyment in seeing grumpy Rei when woken up, the puffed up cheeks and half-hearted glares are just too cute! Between the two of them, Rei’s the person that’s easier to wake up anyway (not necessarily because she sleeps light, but more so her spiritual power just makes her more sensitive to a change in surroundings), so even if Minako TRIES to be considerate, there’s still a 50% Rei wakes up; if that’s the case, why not have fun with it anyway? And the best part is, Minako will make it as DIFFICULT as she can for Rei to get out of bed in the morning at 4am. Minako sleeps deeply, and she finds it so hilarious to guess what Rei’s decision would be each morning in trying to get out of their tangled limbs that Minako caused: is she going to give up and just sleep in with Minako so to not wake Minako up? Or is Rei going to end up waking Minako up in the midst of getting out of bed? If the latter happens, Minako could then pout and guilt trip Rei to stay in bed with her. Either way, it’s a win-win for the idol! And let’s be honest, it’s not like that Rei would be that against trading meditation time for some cuddle time with Minako!

♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀

The Reinako Residence

While it took those two ridiculous long to get over themselves and disregard all personal doubts before they admit their feelings for each other, the moment they took the first step, their relationship had solidified very quickly. After all, they have had time to be best friends for years and get to know each other super well before they officially became partners!

Soon after crossing the 1 year milestone in their romantic relationship, they’ve chosen to purchase a place and move in together alongside Artemis (and Luna who switches back and forth from the Chiba house).

As they are both relatively high profile people, they’ve chosen to live in an apartment building with an built-in security system instead of a house. Minako had also very quickly proclaimed that given their individual desire for personal space, work requirement and other personal desires, they apartment would need to be multi-story to accommodate everything. This had Rei face-palming quite loudly, but frankly, they both knew that Minako would get what she wants at the end of the day, so Rei just went with it. Rei had learnt long ago that instead of trying to shutdown Minako’s idea completely, it’s easier to just curtail and moderate it. So with all that, they ended up with a 2 stories penthouse apartment with the following features:

First floor:

An open concept living room + dining room + kitchen

The kitchen comes with a long ass kitchen island, and the two lovebirds always get teased for how closely they position to each together when working in the kitchen despite how much space there is.

The kitchen also becomes a great space for the Senshi to hangout around when they choose to have meal at the Reinako household, since unsurprisingly Makoto loves taking charge of the cooking and she’s absolutely in love with how amazing Reinako’s kitchen setup is.

Guest Room #1

Guest Room #2

Guest bathroom

Second Floor

Master bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk in closet (the ratio of Minako’s clothing stored in the closet is MUCH higher than Rei’s.)

Guest Room #3

^okay, seriously. Minako was adamant it’s needed for hosting Usagi, Makoto and Ami with their respective partners. Rei couldn’t argue against hosting their friends, but definitely had to shake her head in helplessness

A washroom with space for doing laundry in, along with the laundry machine and dryer.

A professionally done home studio for Minako to do her work in.

A den that is mainly used by Rei as a home office which she’s not bouncing between shrines, temples and universities for work.

I headcanon that Rei would resign from her position from the shrine after things became more serious and official with Minako, recognizing some of her personal value would clash with the more traditional aspect of Shinto. Due to her well known spiritual powers and fame within the Shinto circle, she transitioned to research work that is tied to folklore studies and religious studies, especially when it surrounds Shinto and Buddhism, which led her into academia work.

A special feature of the home office that Minako had kept as a surprise for Rei was it also comes with a self-contained but REAL fireplace connected to a ventilation system, allowing Rei to do her daily meditation and fire reading at home. Rei was SUPER touched by the gesture, and cannot believe Minako got it perfect without asking her for ideas, not knowing Minako had gone through some of her books and research materials to make sure she get all the requirements right before handing the design to the architect to deal with the fire safety and temperature control side of things.

The overall design of their home is mainly based on the simplicity of modern Japanese home designs, with some heavier influence of traditional designs in the den to mirror some of the features of Rei’s room at Hikawa Shrine. The place is simplistic in design, neither Minako or Rei liked over the top designs. The tone of the place is created with a balanced use of wood matched with either warm white, light grey and dark grey, the colors used strategically to highlight the different areas of the apartment.

Who cooks?

I like to imagine both of them enjoy cooking, but in different ways that reflects their personality. There are definitely things one’s good at and the other’s not so much, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they cannot do what the other person can at all.

Both are not actually picky with food choice, but they can be picky with food quality. Rei is more partial to Japanese meals though, while Minako is a bit more partial to western meals. Due to practice, having the patience, and typically having more time to do it, Rei’s much better than Minako with the day to day home cooked meals, especially with any dishes that may require more complicated steps in the meal prep process. Minako excels in making quick but tasty meals such as salads or pasta. (Rei rarely ever makes spaghetti because somehow Minako does magic with spaghetti even when using very simple ingredients.)

They try to take turns to do the cooking depending on their individual work schedule. And with that being the determining factor, naturally Rei cooks in the kitchen more often than Minako does. They would always save food for the other if they couldn’t eat together. If both of them are too busy to cook though, they aren’t against just buying takeout, or if the travel between work and home works out for both of them, they would also choose to eat out on their way home (if the place has good space to allow them to maintain privacy esp for Minako. They are very used to calling a restaurant ahead without disclosing Minako’s identity to make sure they can get what they want without being treated differently as anyone else.)

Their principle is basically to try spend as much time with each other when possible, because both of their work could pull them away from home at odd hours. Minako especially, absolutely loves coming home to find Rei in the kitchen preparing dinner for the two of them. She would vehemently deny this ever happened, but the first time Minako walked through the door after work to find Rei preparing dinner in their kitchen, it felt so domestic that she actually teared up. Rei and Artemis were thoroughly shocked by the idol’s reaction.

When it comes to preparing for more fancy meals, Minako’s definitely the better one (and more nitpicky) between the two of them. Whenever there’s a large gathering or a celebration happening, Minako’s would be the one to take charge with menu design and Rei takes on an assistant role in the meal prep. It fits Minako’s schedule better anyway because she would intentionally take days off to make time for the prep work, allowing her to do what she wants to do instead of scrambling.

As the bigger sweet tooth between the two of them, Minako’s also better at baking sweets, with the exception of pies. For some god damn reason, she ALWAYS either leaves her pie crust under-cooked, or overdone. Rei noticed it’s because Minako just couldn’t figure out the timing and heat needed to ensure both wet ingredients and dry ingredients are done well, and she teases Minako for her lack of patience as the cause.

Their cooking style does differ, where Minako relies on timers and thermometers when cooking for anything that requires precision, because she typically jumps to doing other things between wait time. While Rei’s more patient and attentive in her style of cooking, not minding standing and just observing and checking the food frequently.
