Part of the Backwoods AU
As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. I’m happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging.
Tumblr media
You come up to the bakery, the wagon rolling noisily behind you. You peer through the window as you try to pep talk yourself into going inside. You near the door but shy away as someone else does the same. You wait for them to go in before you do the same.
The door hits the wagon as you draw it inside. It’s bit of a hassle to get it through and there isn’t much room between the counter, the customers, and the table. You’re just in everyone’s way.
“Hey,” your name slices through the dread, “over here.”
You spin and see Chris standing behind a table against the wall. You clear your throat and put your head down, murmuring excuse mes as you weave your way through the queue. You steer the wagon up next to the table and bend the handle back.
“I was getting nervous,” he says.
You look at him. What does he mean?
“I got you some pie,” he gestures to the table, “but uh, wasn’t sure if you do tea or coffee.”
“I’m okay,” you sit and fold your arms, trying to shrink down as the business of the place makes you sweat.
“I still gotta grab myself a coffee, so I don’t mind,” he stays standing.
“It’s fine,” you stare at the pie. It looks delicious but it feels like a trap.
“Well, then, I’ll just have to guess,” he shrugs and backs away.
He marches over to join the line of customers. You hunch down as you peek over at him. His hair is shaved close on the sides, the top a bit longer, softer looking, and his goatee looks thicker than your first meeting. The shadow of stubble darkens his jaw and adds to its squareness. You think he’s older than you, he must be.
He holds his wallet in his hand, tapping it on his thigh as he waits. The muscles in his arms tense with each move. His biceps are huge. You shouldn’t stare like that.
You turn to look at the pie. It’s just pie; pastry, sugar, and apple. So why does it taunt you?
You wallow in the internal battle. You can’t unwind the riddle that is this stranger. Why did you agree to come here? You could’ve just told your grandma his name and she’d leave you alone. Well, you’ve always been terrible at saying no.
“Honey cinnamon latte,” Chris startles you as he sits across from you, clinking down a large bowled cup in front of you as he puts his own at the other end.
“Um,” you blink and swallow tightly, “thank you.”
“No problem,” he smiles. You look at the dusting of cinnamon across the foam. Silence bubbles up between you, the buzz of the other customers doing nothing for the tension. “You know, I haven’t gotten out much. My first trip to town.”
You nod and wring your hands in your lap.
“You come here often? It’s a nice place?”
You shake your head.
“Right, uh,” he crosses his arms over the table and leans forward, “you haven’t tried the pie.”
You bite the inside of your lip and reach for the fork. You slice off the corner of the slice and lean forward to take a bite. You feel him watching you as you scoop it into your mouth and you meet his unwavering gaze. You quickly pull the fork away and chew.
You choke down the flaky crust and try to smile, “it’s good.”
He sighs and brings a hand up to prop his chin in. He squints at you, “you don’t like me.”
“Hm?” Your eyes nearly pop out of your head, “No, I didn’t–”
“I’m being pretty damn nice here,” he grits, “and you won’t even look at me.”
“I’m… sorry, I’m just…” nervous, useless, shy, broken, stupid… You could go on but you’re too embarrassed to say it out loud. “I wasn’t… I just came to get groceries.”
“I’m confused,” he says promptly and drops his arm again, sitting up as he keeps his elbows on the table, “you walk all the way up to my place and give me a sweet little pie, then run away like I’m some sort of monster.”
“Well, I… I was just… my grandma sent me,” you chuff out, “I’m sorry, I’m…” you put the fork down and reach for your satchel. You pull out your change purse and look over at the menu, “I’ll pay you back for the pie and coffee.”
“Keep your damn money,” he growls and you flinch, sitting up straight at the harshness in his tone. “It’s my treat. I want you to enjoy it. If you’d just relax.”
You stare at him. His jaw ticks and he clutches his hands tightly together. His knuckles turn white as his arms flex against the constraint of his tee shirt.
The change purse slips out of your hands and sends coins all around. You squeak and slip off the chair to gather up the mess. You reach around the wagon as you feel the eyes of everyone else witnessing your disaster. As you reach the other wheel, Chris meets you with a handful of nickels and dimes.
You take them shamefully and stuff them away. The thought of paying him back with scrounged up coins chafes in your cheeks. This can’t get any more humiliating.
“Thanks,” you clasp the change purse shut and stand. You look at the wagon then the table. You’ve already upset him, you should just sit down and be polite, just like Grandma would tell you.
You resume your seat and pull close the cup. You bend to inhale the scent of cinnamon. He watches your every move. You peer up at him, eyes glazing with unspent tears.
“It smells really good,” you squeak out. He nods and stares. You lift the cup and take a dainty sip, patting away the residue with your knuckle, “it’s really good. Thank you, Chris.”
The agitation twitches in his jaw one last time and he lets his shoulders relax. He reaches across to nudge the pie closer to you. You grab the fork again and line up the plate with the large cup. Your stomach churns even as the sweet aroma tempts you.
“Where I’m from,” he leans in as you poke at the flaky criss cross of the crust, “people aren’t so nice.”
You blink at him as the edge in his voice tingles down your spine.
“We operate on respect,” he says tersely.
You hover the forkful of pie above the plate and gulp. Your lips part as you stare at him. What did you do wrong?
“Do you know what respect is?” He sneers.
“Sir–”
“That’s a start,” he interjects hotly, “respect is accepting a damn gift with a smile on your face, sugar.”
Your cheeks pinch and your eyes tinge. You make yourself smile and shovel the pie into your mouth. You flick your lashes against the swell in your throat. 
“That’s it,” he scoffs, “you’re learning.”

Stickmin Fandom Secret Valentine's Info Post/Sign ups!
Check, check, this is androidcharles telling you guys about my new secret Valentine’s day event! A fandom I was once a part of did this a while back and I thought it was a pretty swanky idea, so I thought I’d host a secret Valentine’s myself. This’ll be the first Secret Santa thing that I’ve ever hosted, so please keep in mind I will make mistakes! Here’s a deep dive in the scheduled events I have lined up (psst, under the read more! ↓):
Jan 14th through 18th: Sign Ups! This will be the sign up period! Make sure you use the template below to submit an NON ANONYMOUS ASK to this blog stating your wishlist and such. DO NOT WORRY, NOTHING WILL BE POSTED, however if you’re still squeamish, I’ll be more then happy to accept DMs as well. Sign ups will end at 12 AM CST in my timezone on Jan 18th exactly. Keep in mind any applications that pop up after this period will not be accepted, so make sure to sign up quick!
Jan 18th and 19th: Match-ups! This is when you will be receiving your giftee! You have to keep in mind that this is ABSOLUTELY SECRET and you cannot tell anyone about it. You will receive a message through DM who your giftee is as well as their wishlist and any applicable refs as well. Also keep in mind your giftee is not the same as your gifter; your gifter will quite possibly be a completely different person!
Jan 19th through Feb 13th: Gift Preparation! You will have at least four weeks in this time period to prepare your gift and give it all you’ve got. Please make sure it’s at least a good quality gift! I’m not asking you to repaint the Sistine Chapel, but it would be incredibly discouraging if you gave a sloppy MS paint doodle gift while your giftee managed to pull out all the stops and give something truly spectacular to theirs.
Feb 14th through 22nd: Gift Giving! At this point in time, you will be receiving and giving gifts! You can post your gift to tumblr (or DM it if you want) to your secret Valentine! Make sure you a.) @ the person you’ll be giving the gift to if you do post it and b.) @ me as well so I can see that you have posted your gift!
Application Template (use this to apply please!):
Username: Since this is purely through asks (unless you’re dming this to me, but even then...) and through the chance you can’t use your main blog, please put the blog name you want to be @’d through here
What you will do: Any medium you’re good with (fan fic, fan art, animatic, ect)
What you won’t do: Any medium you’re not good with
Discomfort Corner: Anything that makes you uncomfy enough that you would rather not draw or write it, be it a certain ship, character, or scenario.
Blacklist: The username (or usernames) of people you would rather not a.) receive from or b.) gift to. Keep in mind I don’t know how big this event will be, but in the event that I do get a huge reception from it, it’s better to have this kind of failsafe in mind JIC so everyone is comfortable with participating in the event.
Your gift request: Basically, what you want! Make sure you read the rules first, then specify exactly what you want.
Will you be able to do multiple gifts?: In the event that people drop out due to real life stress or otherwise, it’s best to have at least one or two who are willing to give extra gifts. Of course, I will be volunteering as well, but if you can give an extra gift or two, please let me know. This is not obligatory, I won’t think less of you if you say no!
Anything else?: Where you put what you think doesn’t fit within the criteria of the previous choices.
Refs: Whether it be a preferred design for a character or an OC, it would be best if you put them here! Not a lot of people share your personal design hcs, so please make sure you specify them here!
Rules!
Make sure that you send an ask or DM the RQ to me! Follow the template exactly please!
Make sure your gift request is able to be easily followed! Here’s a couple of examples
Good Example: For my gift request, I would like anything with Henry! Be it something with him solo or just something related to Rosemin or Stickprice! I would prefer not to receive an animatic though, if that’s ok!
Bad Example: Draw my OC please! (doesn’t provide a clear ref but gives a ten mile long paragraph of what they look like)
This is a pretty obvious rule in hindsight, but please PLEASE do not request anything NSFW, gorey, anything to do with fetishes (feet, inflation, vore, ect). There are going to be minors participating in this event potentially, so we can’t have anything like that.
THIS SHOULD ALSO BE A GIVEN BUT PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR GIFT AS A WAY TO “ROMANCE” YOUR GIFTEE! I understand that with themes of love and romance it’s kind of standard, but this is more of a gimmick for fun’s sake, not some kind of matchmaker service. It especially gets bad if the person you’re trying to romance is a MINOR! You will be blocked and barred from participating in future events if you do end up doing this.
Canon ages for characters and such are VERY loose here, so make sure you use the Discomfort Corner section VERY LIBERALLY. If there’s a certain ship that makes you uncomfy b/c of HC ages, please make sure you state it there. Keep in mind that I am VERY AWARE of canon familial relationships and I will not hesitate to kick you out of the event if you insist on requesting something that borders on incest. I’m also allowing for angst requests, so please make sure you state if you’re not comfortable with that as well!
If you change your username at any point during this event PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I do not want someone DMing me during the gifting saying they can’t find you because you changed your username! Keep me up to date on any username changes so I can let your gifter know who to @!
If you’re DMing your giftee, please let me know so I can check you off. And if possible, the giftee needs to provide proof that they have received the gift as well!
PLEASE DO NOT HARASS YOUR GIFTER AFTER YOU RECEIVE YOUR GIFT! This is supposed to be in good fun and if you aren’t satisfied with your gift, then being a little shit isn’t going to win you any favors. You will be barred from future events if you decide to be a sore giftee about your gift.
And last but not least, I am giving at least four weeks to prepare your gift. If this isn’t enough time for you, you have to drop out of the event for any reason, and you have other obligations that might get in the way of this, please let me know ahead of time so I can contact people who can do multiple gifts to get started on making another gift.
If you do have your gift ready, but you don’t know if you’ll be able to post within the time period given, I will allow you to post it early so you don’t have to worry about not meeting the deadline
And above all else, have fun with this! This isn’t meant to be some kind of test, I just want it to be a fun little gift giving event!

April 5th 2024, happy beloved 78th birthday to the one and only Jane! She’s been my inspiration for around 12 years since I first discovered about her. It’s been a wonderful journey getting to share new pictures I find, my scans, colourisations and accurate information in regards of the pictures I found. May I be able to meet her one day. 🤍
This post will be divided in two, as the picture shown was used for two different newspapers that I scanned therefore the subtle mark on the photos. And you might have seen the photos with my old username so I am sharing them with the new one!
Jane Asher and Gawn Grainger as Juliet Capulet and Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet” presentation while being on tour in the USA, 1967.
First picture is my edition and enhancement from historical picture auction scan, second one is my scan from the newspaper, and third one is the scan of the newspaper.
Jane Asher-More Than a Beatle's Bird
In cities all across the U.S. this spring Beatle fans are swarming to a touring production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet staged by the Bristol Old Vic Company. When Juliet appears on stage for the first time the reaction is almost always the same. Applause thunders through the theater. Flash bulbs pop—electrifying the scene like summer lightning. At the end of the play young girls scream the name of the actress who plays Juliet: "Jane Asher! Jane Asher!" This is the girl they have come to see. To a Beatle fan Jane Asher's romance is even more exciting than the story of Romeo and Juliet. Jane Asher, in case you haven't heard, is the girl friend of Paul McCartney-the last unmarried Beatle.
An Interview With Jane
To find out what kind of girl dates a Beatle and also has enough talent to
perform in one of England's most respected theatre groups, CURRENT EVENTS Editor Nancy Malone talked to Jane Asher in New York City. The 20-year-old actress seemed puzzled when asked why teen-age girls scream for her. "I don't really know," she said “and I don’t think they’re quite sure themselves. Once they’re with me, they seem a little lost and aren’t sure what to do or say”.
Miss Asher, in contrast to her fans, is not at all confused. She is looking the forward to a successful career in the theatre—on her own merit, not because of her friendship with a Beatle. The actress with the golden-red hair is well on her way to stardom. Her portrayal of Juliet with England’s Bristol Old Vic company has been highly praised. The company is nearing the end of 16-city american tour, which began in Boston last January. After appearances next month in Bloomington, Ind., Detroit, and Cleveland, the company will perform at expo 67 in Montreal. Then the actors and actresses will retur to England.
Does Jane Asher hope to do more Shakespeare? "Oh, yes." she said, “I'd like to do all the Shakespearean heroines-especially Lady Macbeth. But I'd also like to do modern comedy. I wouldn't like ever to stick to just one thing. For example, I don't want to do all movies or all stage. Though if I had to choose, I'd choose stage. I like having a live audience.
Movie Fame Unimportant
"I know you can become more famous by being in movies,", Jane said. "but I've had a taste of that kind of glamor, and I know I don't want it. I want to be a good actress." Jane, who has been acting since she was five years old, comes from a show business family. Her brother, Peter Asher, has toured the U.S. several times. He makes up one-half of the popular singing duo Peter and Gordon.
But Jane hesitates to encourage outer young people to become entertainers. "It's really not the glamorous life people imagine. It's hard work with rehearsals all day and shows every night. And when you come right down to it, acting is really only pretending you're something else on stage." Although Jane made several films during her childhood, she attended regular m schools—not acting schools for m professionals. "I'm glad I got a normal education," she said. "I think it gave me a more balanced view of life. In addition to several Shakespearean roles, Jane has played Alice in Alice in Wonderland, Wendy in Peter Pan, and Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion. Juliet, however, is the highlight of her career.
Jane and the Bard
She is particularly delighted that she is helping to acquaint American teenagers with Shakespeare. She commented on her own attitude as a 13-year-old: "I suppose I felt as all English schoolchildren do-that Shakespeare was pretty dull stuff with lots of language I didn't understand. I know I wasn't mad about it." Now, at 20, she believes that Shakespeare wrote "the greatest roles in the world." She added: "On this tour, I've gotten a lot of mail and it has meant a great deal to me. Some of the letters from kids say “We came to see you. We were so surprised. We really liked the play.” “That’s great. That’s a real accomplishment to me —as an actress”.

Fic Rec Friday
Thank you for the tag @welcometololaland ❤️
This week's theme: Rec a fic that starts with the same letter as your username (or, if you like, a part of your username) For me it's C! The rules: Tag a fic that starts with the same letter as your username and describe why it's so good / how it has a hold on you. Then tag some people to see what everyone else is reading. Spread the love! Use the tag fic rec Friday or tag @welcometololaland
I have three Cs, if I may:
Cold Feet by @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut: I had the joy of beta-reading this smushy beauty. It was so good that I actually did a pretty bad job as a beta because my editor hat fell off and I got totally absorbed. It takes the TWP of 'cold feet' literally and makes for the cosiest bedtime story of your life.
Chance Do Over, A by @lightningboltreader: A fic of 1000 words loaded with beautiful details of the farmers' market where a happy and loved-up TK and Carlos run into Gabriel and Andrea...and this time they know who TK is. It's a delightful feel-good read.
can i be close to you? by hoodieweather : a 5+1 fic where TK repeatedly asks Carlos if he'd still love him if he was a worm. The theme is so well sustained, and I love fluffy fics that incorporate silliness. I find myself thinking about this one often. I was out for a walk the other day and it popped into my head. It's so great when that happens.
@tagging @heartstringsduet @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut @thisbuildinghasfeelings @lemonlyman-dotcom @reyesstrand @goodways @taralaurel @bonheur-cafe @chaotictarlos @strandnreyes @lightningboltreader @never-blooms @ladytessa74 @noxsoulmate if you want to do it!

Tumblr is the only social media I've found where my mutuals and even those blogs I don't follow back but that interact with me on a regular basis, despite me not knowing in person, really matter to me
I really care about my mutuals opinions, and seeing the same usernames pop up in my notifications genuinely makes me happy, I love seeing posts about little things in their life, and I want to make them feel better on bad days. It's just really nice that there's a real sense of familiarity even when interacting from a distance or despite never having a proper conversation that I've never got on other social media sites

Heya! I think I may have mentioned this to you before years ago, but I love your stories! (Pardon me if I gush) White Lilies absolutely killed me with the angst, but it fits so well with canon, particularly Naruto realizing he's in love with Hinata because he's jealous of another man showing interest in her (since that's literally what happened in The Last, and was confirmed in the movie's official databook). I also love how you don't have Hinata stuttering over her lines in your stories, since in canon she stopped doing that in the Invasion of Pain arc, yet a lot of other fanfic writers, including fellow NH fans, still like to write her as a stutterer, which just regresses her. Please keep up the good work! I can't wait to see what else you'll write! 🥰
I'm starting to think about making my own AO3 account because FF seems to be dying out as of late (my FF moniker is the same as my Tumblr one, although I haven't updated either of my two stories nor my bio in years). I was wondering if you could maybe give me advice or the pros/cons of having an AO3 account? Any help is appreciated as I think about this! 👍🙏
💗💗💗 I'm so glad that you enjoyed White Lilies!!!! About Hinata stuttering, I do write her like that sometimes... Uhhh it depends on how old she is in my fics, but if she's high school age or younger, she sometimes stutters, like in "Last Chance" and "Little Samurai." But yeah, if she's older, I like to think that she is a stronger communicator. Thank you for your enthusiastic support 🥺💖
So about AO3!!!!!!!! ✨I love AO3.✨ I'm so happy with AO3, I don't feel the need to post my fics anywhere else, besides here on Tumblr. I highly recommend getting an account for these reasons:
name familiarity & building community - I love being able to recognize readers. I've been thinking about how writing is a fairly "lonely" type of activity. When I first started writing, I began to recognize the usernames of people who regularly commented or left kudos on my fics, and I just loved those people to pieces. It's just nice to have a sense of familiarity on AO3.
Bookmarking - If you want to save a fic for later, you can bookmark it and make a note of the chapter you left off on. It's a nice feature, especially if you're the type to keep tabs of fics you haven't read yet open. I use Bookmarking as like my personal favorites recommendation list because it's right on my AO3 profile. I also use other people's Bookmarks list to find good fics, and I've read a lot of random pairings in fandoms I'm not a part of due to Bookmarks.
Subscriptions - You can subscribe to a fic so that you get an email when a fic updates. You can also subscribe to users so that you can get an email every single time that writer updates or posts anything.
Archiving - You might want to consider migrating your old fics over to AO3 because it has a whole legal team and successful fundraising efforts to preserve your work, even if you might think your old fics aren't worth reposting. AO3 has so much strong, passionate support, there's very little chance of AO3 disappearing.
Preferences - You can customize AO3. So you can turn off the warning banners that always pop up on mature-rated fics and control what you receive email notifs for. You can also set a Site Skin from the AO3 options and the user-created ones, like the rainbow pink one I'm currently using. It just makes life that much happier. You can use all sorts of Site Skins that change the color of the background, change the text font to be easier to read, or hide your hit counts and other stats to protect your sanity as a writer.
History - Your account will keep track of all the fics you've read, so if you're looking for something you can find it again. Also, it's just interesting, but it will also tell you how many times you've visited that particular fic. Uhh apparently I've visited "21 Days" by BunnyHoodlum 455 times :D That must be partially because I've recommended it so many times.
Mark for Later - Besides subscribing or bookmarking, you can click a button that marks the fic for later. You would find this list on your History page. It tells you when you last visited the fic and whether there's been any changes to the fic since you last read it. So this is another cool way to keep track of all of the fics you're reading.
I've never posted on any other fanfiction site, so I can't compare, but I love how organized AO3 feels. The tagging system is to-die-for.
I love the posting features, like posting under different Pseudonyms, setting a fic as part of a series, linking in an inspired-by work, or gifting a fic to someone. I feel like AO3 put a lot into consideration so that it is user-friendly.
Another thing that writers can do is post challenges/claim challenges. I've never done this, but Sessakag has recently written for VulgarAssassin's prompts! This is one way that AO3 encourages community.
Another amazing thing that AO3 has is the ability to distance yourself from your own fics. You can orphan your own fic so that it is no longer linked to your page but will still be on AO3. The only problem is that you can't get it back. You can also add your fic to an anonymous collection, and I think if you ever wanted to, you could take off the anonymous hat and reveal yourself as the writer. I've never done this.
When I was considering cross-posting on ffnet and wattpad, people told me that I would reach way more people because people use those sites more. I mostly decided not to cross-post because I can't rationalize the extra work to upkeep multiple accounts and respond to comments. So perhaps the only downside to creating an AO3 account is that you'd have more accounts to manage and the platform has a smaller audience.
I hope you create an AO3 account!!!!!! I hope everyone makes an AO3 account!!! It's such a well-run site!!

Also sorry for going through your blog and liking all your posts, it’s just that your taste is immaculate and your metas are roof of fukouka tower tier 🙌🏻
Aww, thank you so much!! And please don't apologize! It makes me happy when people go digging through my meta and stuff. It's the same feeling as receiving an ao3 kudos mail and seeing the same username pop up with love on several works 💕

hello, mother 😈🥰. i want: 🤲 📚 ⌛ 💥
hello, my darling child! thank you so much for asking (sorry it has taken me 24 hours to respond lmaoooo)
📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?
yes, honestly, that is the dream. i might have a story in mind that i want to write, which i will probably do as a fanfic first, then adapt into a novel later. hopefully i will begin that project next year!
⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter?
it takes me anywhere from a day to a week lol. it depends on what i am writing, how excited i am to be writing, and how much homework i have.
💥 How do you feel about criticism?
there is...no easy answer for this. i am definitely open to constructive criticism, and i try not to take it too personally, but if people are just complaining for the sake of complaining, i can get bitchy. i do this for free, i'm not asking for criticism, and there's no need to complain about something you could simply not read.
but it depends on the person, the criticism, etc. i seek out constructive opinions from writer and reader friends all the time, as it is, and i am always very happy for their feedback.
i would definitely never give criticism unless asked, and i hope that others do the same.
🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?
this is going to be a bit long! it's from a fic for a fest where namjoon meets jungkook on grindr, and things get...interesting.
JayKay97 Well, hello, BonsaiDaddy94. I love the username. I don't see a "daddykink" tag on your profile, though, so am I correct to assume that it is just a clever way to say you have a lot of plants?
Namjoon chuckles to himself and nibbles on the inside of his lip, turning onto his side as he stares at the screen. He wants to respond, but feels anxiety swirl around, making him dizzy and a bit nauseated. 
On one hand, if they have nothing in common, he can just move on—no harm done. But on the other, he would feel pretty bummed if he shot his shot with someone as cute as JayKay97 seems to be, only to fuck it up. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes on the exhale, attempting to find some inner peace. 
BonsaiDaddy94 Hey, JayKay97! I do happen to have a lot of plants. And I was just being clever. I suppose it's never too late to discover a new kink, though.
Immediately after hitting send, Namjoon feels embarrassed and mutters, "What am I doing," under his breath. He wonders if JayKay97 will read the message and think he is an idiot. He almost searches naver to find out whether or not one can delete a message that has been sent over Grindr, but then three little dots pop up, and Namjoon feels his heart pound in his chest with anticipation. As soon as a new message appears, Namjoon gasps and holds in his breath.
JayKay97 Wow, you're cute, aren't you? Do you work out, daddy? Do you mind if I call you daddy?
The breath that Namjoon had held in comes out as a scoff, and he reads the message three times, swallowing a lump in his throat as he decides what to say next. He hovers his thumbs over the keyboard, but the three dots pop back up. 
JayKay97 By the way, I found you in fresh faces. Is this your first time on the app?
BonsaiDaddy94 This is my first time on the app. And you may call me daddy, though...I'm not sure what I would call you. Maybe I should have searched naver for daddy kink terms before responding. 
BonsaiDaddy94 And yes, I do work out. 
Namjoon tosses his phone to his bed and sinks low on his pillow, pulling the soft, dark comforter up to his chin. Everything about this feels ridiculous, and yet, he already likes talking to JayKay97. The guy seems charming and charismatic, and Namjoon likes that he leads the conversation. 
Feeling antsy about having his notifications turned off, Namjoon reaches around for his phone, hitting his open palm against the mattress several times before finding the device and pulling it to his face. He opens the app to see two more messages from JayKay97, and he smiles hard.
JayKay97 Wow, an app virgin. To what do I owe the pleasure? Are you here for hookups, or are you one of the many fools who come to this sordid place looking for a relationship?
JayKay97 Also, I suppose if you're daddy, I'm baby boy. Baby is fine, too. 
One of the many fools who come to this sordid place looking for a relationship. Namjoon hates how the phrasing makes his heart sink—hates how he already feels a connection despite knowing absolutely nothing about this guy. Sure, his profile states weight, height, and body type, but someone could put anything into those fields; there is no guarantee of authenticity. 
Namjoon nearly gives up and goes to bed, abandoning the conversation entirely. But then he decides to give honesty a chance. Worst case scenario, he remains as lonely as he already is. 
BonsaiDaddy94 I'm not really sure why I am on here, tbh. My friends complain about how "terminally single" I am, (their words,) so three beers and a lot of peer pressure later, here I am. I guess part of me is foolish enough to want a relationship; I've never really done hookups. But I'm open to possibilities.
BonsaiDaddy94 What about you, baby boy? What brings you here?
Namjoon types and deletes baby boy several times before deciding to keep it. If, in fact, there is a chance that JayKay97 will want to get to know him after this pathetic revelation, he figures being flirtatious will work in his favor. And as the three little dots pop back up, his anxiety swirls, once again.
JayKay97 I'm here to find a cutie to fuck. Plain and simple. But I guess I am not opposed to the idea of a relationship. Nobody on here really tries to get to know you like that, in my experience. In fact, this is probably the most I have talked to someone without them asking if I am willing to host.
At this, Namjoon feels a wave of disappointment. Of course, there is no reason to; he came to a hookup app and is now being told that the users are just here to look for hookups. So why does he feel let down?
BonsaiDaddy94 Ah. I guess that makes sense. Well, I won't waste your time if you're just looking for a quick fuck. Not that I'm not interested in you; I just like to get to know people a little better before getting to know them like that. 
With a sigh, Namjoon drops his arm to the bed and stares at his ceiling. Since he has already jumped over the hurdle of downloading an app for meeting others, he reasons he will have no qualms with also downloading a proper dating app. 
Tomorrow, he tells himself. He has already been through enough tonight.
send me some writing asks!

I’ve had tumblr since 2011, although I’m on it fairly briefly now, it makes me so happy and sappy to see the same handful of usernames popping up in my notes throughout the years 🥹🥹🥹 I don’t really post anything personal, so although you may not know much about me and we don’t speak, I love u all mutuals and I am glad we are connected in a strange distant internet way and I wish u all the best

Hi! ^_^ For the Happy Fic Writer: #2 :)
Thanks for the ask!
2. Talk about a favorite comment you received.
I'm honestly not even sure if there's one that really stands out--I've received so many amazing comments over the years. If I had to pick a favorite type, though, it would be any return commenters. Few things make me happier than when I see the same username pop up in my inbox more than once. It's like the ultimate compliment when someone reads my stuff once and decide that they want to come back.

When I was younger, in high school, I ran an Alex P. Keaton role play page on Instagram.
The username there was the same as this one here, after a time.
There were a couple other Family Ties roleplayers, and I had a FANTASTIC Ellen that I got to rp with a lot.
One of the first people I met was a Marty McFly roleplayer, and we had the running joke of making Marty and Alex twin brothers. Just tweak their ages a bit, make Alex the adopted one to work with the BTTF storyline, and voila. I still like to go with that fanfic idea sometimes.
But I will say, I was not the nicest person at times. I won't excuse it by saying "I was going through a lot". Was I? Yeah, but let's face it, when you're in high school everyone goes through a lot. It's really how you handle it and how you take care of it that shows your character.
At that point in time, I was super upset and depressed. I was angry at everyone and everything in my life, and the only thing that made me truly happy at that time was Michael J. Fox--though it was through Alex P. Keaton.
So, I clung to it. I was really selfish about it. A different Alex rp page popped up and started being Alex and all that and I got super protective and bitchy about it. And I shouldn't have.
See, the thing about role-playing is that anyone can be anything. So if there were 2500 Alex P. Keatons, then those 2500 people had every right to be Alex P. Keaton on the platform.
I'm not sure why I'm saying something here, and now, and why I didn't when I was a kid. Probably because now I'm an adult and I was a kid. Who knows.
I just hope that, wherever that Alex person is, they're happy and living the best life. And I'm so sorry I was awful to them. You deserve the world and I hope your love for Alex, Family Ties and Michael didn't get ruined.
I hope my Marty and Ellen are doing alright too. I don't think these people realize how much I think about our old times on Instagram.
Sorry for rambling, this has just been heavy on my mind recently. Especially after watching Still.

recent twitter refugee here, I'm kinda still gettin the hang of this place and still looking for people to talk to about any kinda rock music. you seem to have good taste so if you could give me some pointers that'd be ideal 🤘 tysm
Hello! Well first of all welcome, happy to have you here!! 😸🤘
Pointers eh? 🧐 Well, as well as following blogs you can follow specific tags (you should get the option to do that whenever you use the search function)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So then you’ll get the occasional post related to that popping up on your dashboard, regardless of whether you follow the op
Also when you’re on the homepage there’s a tab called ‘your tags’ which you can filter with as many or as few of your followed tags as you like
Tumblr media
• Tag Tips: It can also be useful to use more specific tags if you’re searching for a particular artist, especially lesser known ones. Quite often you’ll see a post for a band, but it’s tags will include several similar bands, which is an algorithm thing I suppose, but it can make it quite hard to find content about specific artists — I personally make a point not to do this, I always only tag with the band or bands that are related to the post, but it does seem to be a fairly common practice :/ BUT! Here’s how to get around that problem:
Let’s say you want to see some posts about Seaway, instead of typing Seaway into the search bar (and being met with several Neck Deep posts that happen to have the Seaway tag on them) it’s better to search ‘Ryan Locke,’ (or any other member of the band) or ‘Seaway Lyrics,’ or in this particular case where the band has their own cute nickname then ‘Seaboiz’ — then you’re more likely to see posts that are actually about the bands you’re searching for
Oh and if you’re on the search page, swapping between the ‘Top’ and ‘Latest’ tabs can be a good way to find new stuff 👍
• Follow Freely. That said, in my experience, following blogs is better than following tags — if you keep seeing certain usernames around the content you like, if you see me or any other blogs you follow rb-ing from the same person a lot, then check out that blog! Maybe reblog some of their stuff, give them a follow — and hey, if it turns out they don’t post quite what you thought they might, it’s okay to unfollow later. Or if they post a mix of stuff you like and stuff you really don’t like, the Tumblr settings allow you to block certain tags - then you can follow whoever and just get the good stuff (assuming it’s tagged properly, which it sometimes isn’t, but alas, ‘tis a risk we must take)
• Reblogs Rule! Speaking of reblogging, reblog. The reblog feature is what this site is built around, a scrapbook in which we all just share stuff we like for our followers to see. If you see stuff you like reblog it, that’s what helps the community thrive. You may also find yourself on a blog that has been inactive for many years but has some older content that you like. You absolutely can and should reblog that content. Timestamps don’t matter over here, if you like it then share it, regardless of when it was originally posted or if the op is still active 🤘
And speaking of reblogging, when you do you’ll have the option to add tags – now you can simply add tags for search purposes; reblogging a post about Fall Out Boy? Tag it with #Fall Out Boy and then when you search that tag on your blog, you’ll be able to see that post again — but you also have free reign to put whatever you want in the tags, almost like a ‘soft comment’ a little bit of commentary regarding your instant reaction to the post, such as #omg I forgot about this song or #hell yes this bands rules or #whoa this edit looks super cool for example, but you can really write anything, and that can give the person you reblogged from a bit more insight into your thoughts and feelings regarding the artist or the post in question
• ‘Laundry Listing.’ Oh, and I just thought- it’s not as common nowadays, but a little while ago you’d fairly often see people post something along the lines of ‘Hey I’m looking for other people that are also into [insert laundry list of bands] like/reblog if any apply’ — so it could be worthwhile making a post like that, or if you find a post like that then reblogging and tagging it with the ones that do apply
• And last but not least, in fact perhaps the most important tip of all I can give you is this:
“Build It And They Will Come”
Basically, if you yourself post* about certain bands or artists, more often that not you’ll tend to find fans will gravitate towards you and follow you/reblog your stuff. In my experience, this is always felt like the best way to find like-minded fans of certain artists
*and I say post, but this can include reblogged posts from other people as well as your own posts
I mean, part of the whole reason I made this blog in the first place was I could barely find any content about some of my favourite bands (Every Avenue, The Downtown Fiction, The Academy Is…) so I thought ‘fuck it, I’ll make it myself’ — and that’s what I did. People started following me, I followed some of them back, and now here we are
So there you go! This is all just based off of my own experience here, and sorry if this was a bit of an info overload or if you already knew some of it, but still, those are the main tips I can think of, I hope any or all of this helps, and I hope your twitter refugee journey goes smoothly! Thanks for the ask!🤘🖤😸
Tl;dr - frequent reblogs and follows are good, post about what you like and you’ll tend to find people who post what you like as well 🖤

heyy I just wanted to pop in and congratulate you on your amazing writing! NTTF was an amazing read, and your Aemond fic was a joy to read after finishing NTTF (even though the ending killed me, I was not prepared for that 😭). Knowing how great NTTF was, I don't doubt your future work will be just as beautifully written!
I did have a question, just out of curiosity. Would you ever consider allowing people to print out a copy of NTTF? AO3 typically allows readers to download fics as files, and I've known an author who allowed people to print out copies of their book but specifically prohibited anyone from profitting off their writing. It's just something to add to my growing book collection. If it's not something you feel like allowing, that's quite alright! The series is something I hold dear to me, no matter the format.
I truly admire you and your writing skills. It's been a huge encouragement in my own path as it is a struggle to consistently keep myself motivated to write in between school and work. Your writing has inspired me after months of struggle. I wish you the best and hope to read your book once it is published! 💓
Hi darling!!! I'm so happy to hear that you loved NTTF. It is a story that means so much to me and it was wonderful to get to share it with you all chapter by chapter. I am definitely okay with you printing out a fic for your own personal use...and even if I wasn't I'm not sure how I'd stop you. 😂😂 But it's very kind of you to ask first!
I've put both of my HOTD fics on AO3, and I'm going to put the rest of my fic series there too, hopefully by the end of this weekend. My AO3 username is the same as my Tumblr: inthedayswhenlandswerefew
Finally, I'm so glad that I helped encourage you to stay committed to your own writing! It's is DEFINTELY not easy to keep up with it on top of life's other commitments, but I am a huge proponent of seeing every story through to the end because:
You never know if that's the story people are going to connect with
Every single thing you write (even if absolutely no one reads it) makes you a better writer in the future
Once you get that idea out, you'll be able to come up with exciting new ideas!!! 😁
As always, thank you for reading!!!!! 💜💜💜

(。・ω・。)ノ♡ (。・ω・。)ノ♡ (。・ω・。)ノ♡ (。・ω・。)ノ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media
EREN JAEGER:
Eren is the type of boyfriend that would pull up in front of your house at 3 am and ask if you want to go cruise with him
He’s the type of guy that would make you sneak out just to smoke in his car and just vedge out because you’ve had a stressful day at work or school
He’s a fucking stoner, no doubt about that
His love language is physical touch for sure
He cannot get enough of you, and he’ll always have his arm around your waist or petting your head
He does this thing where he’ll brush away some hairs from your face whenever you talk to him
He just loves looking at your face! He thinks you’re so fucking cute, and he will not hesitate to remind you
Ngl, I feel like he probably gets too emotionally attached to characters when you watch shows together
Y’all watched Squid Game, and Eren was a mess during the marble game
The physical embodiment of “punching the air rn >:(“
WILL SMOKE A BOWL AFTERWARDS TO CALM HIS NERVES LMAO CHILL FOO
Eren does NOT take Zoom classes seriously and will probably join the call on his phone just to head over to your place instead of paying attention
Meanwhile, you’re just sitting in your class actually paying attention, and Eren just
“OKAY, I PULL UP”
You’re not too mad at him, though, because he did bring you some of your favorite fast food
One day, you were scrolling through Instagram, and you noticed one of his old accounts pop up on your suggested page. 
“Angry_at_da_w0rld” was the username of his old Instagram from his emo high-school days
You never leave him alone about it, and he just rolls his eyes and covers his ears with a smile on his face
“C’mon, babe! Everyone had an emo phase.”
Speaking of high school, Eren used to be on the wrestling and weightlifting team, and he still participates in weightlifting while attending college
Despite listening to a lot of emo bands in high school, his music taste is eclectic and varies based on his mood
The two of you work out together almost every day
He even got you into kickboxing! :)
Really sweet bf that just wants you to be happy and enjoy your youth together with him
ARMIN ARLERT:
The boy you’d want to bring home to your parents!
Model bf
I feel like his love language would either be words of affirmation or physical touch
Armin would literally drop everything he was doing if it meant he would get to spend some time with you
His favorite song is rises the moon by liana flores because he loves how your voice sounds when you sing along
This boy is so smart when it comes to academic knowledge but is so clueless when it comes to handling his own emotions
He over-analyzes everything and tries to pick up on your body language to see if you’re in the mood to be cuddled or left alone
Whenever Armin gets sad or stressed out, he squeezes you for hours because hugging you is literally so heart warming to him
He kinda needy tho because he gets stressed so easily smh go eat something bby
Armin likes to help you out with any schoolwork you need help with!
The two of you are in similar majors anyway, so you end up planning your schedules out together and taking the same classes to help each other out
He likes to send you cute text messages while you’re in your Zoom lectures
“You look so pretty today in your little Zoom square :) Wanna come over and bake some macarons with me after class?”
THIS BOY LOVES TO BAKE WITH YOU!!
He loves trying out new recipes with you :) Even if they’re hella fucking technical and require years of experience to perfect
This boy loves peppering soft kisses all over your face and neck since he adores those cute little giggles you make
Armin is also such a history nerd. You’ll be laying down in bed with him, and he’ll just be ranting passionately about some weird diplomatic ruling that fucked up a country
You have no idea what he’s talking about whenever he goes into one of his little rants, but you think it’s so cute that he probably spent hours reading about history facts just to tell you about them!
He’s so romantic and sentimental about everything
He remembers every anniversary or any important date that is related to your relationship
“Happy anniversary for the first time you slept over in my dorm room!” “Oh, how could I forget about the anniversary of our first time?” “We went to the beach for our first date so happy one year anniversary since our first date!”
ARMIN, WHAT THE FUCK
But for real, though, he probably thinks about getting married to you once the two of you have finished college and had career prospects
You are his first love, and he intends on making you his only love
JEAN KIRSTEIN
Jean is a motherfucking car guy, and you cannot argue with me on this
He’s the type of partner to teach you how to drive stick
Or just drive in general
I feel like he has messy-ass handwriting
On your first date, Jean came revving up to your driveway with his speakers blasting the intro to N-Side by Steve Lacy (pls go listen to it. Idk why, but i always think about Jean when I bump it)
He’s so fucking corny. He likes to show off his car to impress you, and he even tailored a specific playlist for you whenever you guys go cruise
Since he’s a car guy, he’ll definitely help you out with your car if you’re ever having issues with it
He’s the type of boyfriend to spend HOURS to get ready. He cares about his hair a lot and even mooches off of your skincare products
Speaking of skincare, the two of you will have a skincare night where you’ll just wear character face masks and roleplay because y’all are dumbasses lol
He’s a pretty boy and he likes to be reminded of that!
He’s lowkey needier than Armin and will constantly ask you how he looks just so he can fish for some compliments
But it’s okay because he’s such a fine stallion ;))))))
HE’S STILL A MOMMA’S BOY SO HE WILL NOT HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO COOK OR CLEAN FOR THE LIFE OF HIM
You’ll have to be the one to teach him how to cook and clean, but he doesn’t mind since he gets to spend time so close to you
He likes kissing your forehead since he feels like it’s a gesture that screams “I’ve got you, babe :)” vibes
Jean loves it when he has his head in your lap, and you play with his hair
He trusts nobody with his hair so, this is an especially high honor
Like Eren, Jean isn’t too interested in his Zoom classes so he just ditches to nap at your place instead or to play video games on your switch
He drags you to e-sports tournaments and he always EATS
He spends so much time on your damn nintendo that he has perfected his Smash fighting technique
Jean feels most at home whenever he’s in your arms since he feels so safe and secure
One of THE most loyal kings out there
CONNIE SPRINGER
He spends literal hours on TikTok because he gets stuck in a loop of watching stupid shit
Connie will literally send you TikTok’s despite laying down right next to you 
SNACK KING!!
After spending so much time with Sasha, he knows better than to show up to your place without some of your favorite snacks
It’s definitely one of those relationships where you feel like you’re dating your best friend
Whenever he’s at work, he’ll send you stupid, blurry pictures of himself in the bathroom
He comforts you by trying to make you laugh or smile :)
He asks you to shave his head bc you find it so satisfying and he just likes how gentle your touch is
HE LOVES TO WRESTLE YOU PLAYFULLY
Whenever you come over, he gets so fucking excited! He’ll tackle you onto his bed and start tickling you because he thinks it’s cute how giggly you get
He takes you on a a lot of movie dates! He’s kinda dumb tho so he won’t understand the plot to Care Bears 3D, but he’ll laugh at all of the fart jokes
I feel like Connie is also a stoner?? Jean and Sasha sometimes join him but it’s more of his thing
When he gets munchies, he’ll make total abominations
You’ll be facetiming him while he’s zooted and he’s just fumbling around the kitchen while giggling like an idiot
“Babe, babe! Check it. This is my newest...mothafuckin’ creation.” while holding up his phone to capture a mess of assorted chips mixed with sourcream and food dye
“Connie, why did you add food dye?” 
“It adds flavor, sexy”
If there’s ever a time where you’re feeling burned out, he’ll probably plan out a trip to Disneyland or smth and then surprise you a week afterwards :)
He’s definitely still a child at heart but that’s what you love about him. He never fails to make you smile!
Has probably spilled the beans about wanting to get married to you when he’s high ;) There’s not a lot that goes on in his head, but you’re always running around in there
LEVI ACKERMANN
Levi’s honestly such a sweetheart to you
It’s extremely hard for him to open up and develop a trusting, healthy relationship
So, for you to be patient with his initial stubbornness makes him absolutely melt
He’s honestly such a funny old man tho
You’ll be showing him something on TikTok and he just stares back with bewilderment
“Who are these people? Why is she floating?”
Since he’s a simple man, the two of you just sit around and watch a movie together 
Parallel play is crucial to Levi. He absolutely cannot get any of his work done if you’re not in the room with him
He really values his alone time but if you’re ever feeling especially needy, he’ll let out a knowing sigh and motion for you to come sit on his lap
Levi loves kissing your hands. While he thinks everything about you is beautiful, he has a strange fixation with how pretty your hands look
HE WILL THROW A HISSY FIT IF YOU SO MUCH AS SNEEZE ANYWHERE NEAR SOMEWHERE HE CLEANED
“Oi! You knew that I had just spray-cleaned there >:( I hope you’ll enjoy a dirty kitchen for the next week”
He never lives up to his threats. Will literally go to clean the kitchen like .5 seconds afterwards while glaring at you menacingly
Sometimes, you feel too intimidated to cook because you know this guy will give you shit for leaving a single crumb on the stove
He’s an introvert so he’d prefer to stay home and spend a quiet, nice evening with you
He also likes to take day trips to visit Farlan and Isabel since they live so far away. Normally, you’ll come along and end up getting drunk with his old buddies lol
Levi isn’t too big on alcohol but he loves seeing you get along with his precious friends so well
Okay but he smiles the most when he’s with you. He literally does not trust anyone else enough to show his raw emotions to
He’s not too big on romantic touch and will instead value time spent with you over physical affection
Marriage doesn’t cross his mind often, but he isn’t shy to admit that he’s considered the option a few times.
ZEKE JAEGER
Dumb monkey man fr
Probably has undiagnosed ADHD and will not shut the fuck up about random facts he hyperfixated on while you were asleep
“Hey, did you know that there’s only one type of monke in Europe?”
“Yes. And his name is Zeke Jaeger. Please go to sleep, babe”
Zeke’s an eccentric guy but you know he really cares
He loves having his arms around your waist and inhaling your perfume
Also, never expect to shower alone. This man will boldly walk in and start a conversation with you about the stock market while butt-ass naked
His love language is gift-giving and will spare no expense in getting you stuff he feels like you would like
You mentioned wanting to try out some new makeup product? Zeke will gladly go to the nearest shop and be completely clueless as to what he’s looking for
He probably asks you to sit on his back while he does push-ups, it helps him stay motivated!
He still smokes but he’ll be sure to be away from you whenever he decides to out of respect
Zeke is probably among the best chefs in the world??
He’s a really well-read guy and he enjoys spending his tims with his nose in some cookbooks
In the beginning, cooking would be Zeke’s form of alone time. But as the relationship progressed, cooking became your favorite couple’s pastime.
He’s a huge fucking Star Wars nerd. AND he’s a George Lucas fanboy because he’s dumb like that
He dragged you to watch the sequels and you had to hear him yell about how he thought Rey was a Mary Sue, etc
Although Zeke is a crazy geek, he loves getting into the hobbies you like! You’re into a new show? He’ll read all of the wikis ans watch the show with you just to have fan discourse after each episode
Zeke is a needy cuddler. If you ever turn away from him in your sleep, he’ll just grumble and turn over to trap you underneath his arm
He also constantly mentions marriage once you’ve got your career goals set :) The man knows exactly what he wants!
I hate to say this too but Zeke always gave me MAJOR Seth Rogen vibes
REINER BRAUN
MUSCLE MAN BF!!
Y’all will literally have plans for going on a date but this mf will shoot you a text 10 mins before he was supposed to pick you up saying “sorry babe, GAINZ! SWOLE GANG COME THRUUU”
He’ll make it up to you by buying you some ice cream or dessert of your choice
Reiner gives the best hugs. His arms and chest are so firm oh my lord. MANS IS BUILT LIKE A BRICK HOUSE
He is an extremely attentive boyfriend. He will immediately know that something is wrong based on how your eyes just don’t have that sparkle on day
He likes bringing home some surprises for you. Some examples include a dog, flowers, chocolates, starbucks, and even steaks!
Reiner is honestly such a grill god. He’s training to become the ultimate grill dad for when he finally becomes a papa
He loves cooking you really expensive steaks because he’s passionate about the process. Plus, he loves the way how your face lights up whenever you take your first bite!
He always kisses you whenever you leave. Whether you’re leaving for work or leaving the room to grab some water, you’ve gotta give the man some sugar
He’s the type of boyfriend to take you to a nice, secluded spot whenever you’re feeling angry or stressed. He feels most at home in nature and he figures that getting away from the house is nice once in a while
He picks at his fingers a lot when he’s nervous so holding his hand will always snap him out of his rut
Despite his size, he’s just a big teddy bear! He loves being babied so much. He just wants to be held by you and cradled in his lap because he feels so safe around you :(
He’ll definitely take you on fun dates! Go-karting, off-roading, indoor skydiving; literally anything tailored for adrenaline junkies
He offers extremely good advice as helps you through a lot of friend drama
He likes to hold your hand firmly in public because he has this irrational fear that he’ll lose you in the crowd or sum
BRUH REINER WOULD’VE PROPOSED AFTER LIKE A FEW MONTHS OF MOVING IN TOGETHER (you say yes tho bc he’s such an amazing man ughhh)
PORCO GALLIARD
Recovering fuckboy bf
Being with you is what makes him want to change his playa ways in the first place
You always steal his clothes and he scolds you for it constantly, but he’ll never admit that he secretly likes seeing you in his clothes
Like Jean, Porco will spend literal hours in the bathroom getting ready
He likes it when you call him ‘your pretty boy’ since it boosts his confidence so much!
Calls you his queen because he thinks you’re absolutely stunning and will go to the ends of the earth for you
He’s definitely either a popular Youtuber or streamer. He just has that sort of personality that makes him popular
Porco likes driving around at night just to explore and find new places he can take you
The two of you had driven to the beach at midnight before, just to get high and talk about the meaning of life
He’s not a huuuge stoner but he likes to smoke once in a while because he thinks it makes him cool
He loves taking you to arcades/bowling alleys. He’s competitive as fuck and you’re always down to challenge him to a round of Street Fighter
Porco listens to hype beast music and you think it’s so fucking annoying
“Bae! Bump that shiit!” 
“No, Porco. This shit is trash.”
He will get very offended if you mock his music taste
Tbh, this boy is a big eater and will always take you out to eat whenever you go on a date.
AND HE WILL ALWAYS PAY FOR YOU, DO NOT BOTHER TRYING TO SPLIT THE CHECK
He love love loves spoiling you with gifts!
He worked a 40 hour work week just so he could save up enough money to take you to Disneyland :)))
He absolutely loves showering with you and loves holding you under the water. He says it feels like he’s caught a mermaid or sum bc he’s probably zooted as fuck
He’s really clingy and will literally get jealous of your phone.
“Baaabe get off you phone :( Me want cuddle”
Porco probably brought up marriage as a joke one day but then he realized that he definitely wanted to follow through on that
BERTHOLDT HOOVER
Museum dates galore!
Bert is super cultured and extremely well-read so he’d want to take you on dates that he finds enriching
He likes taking you to different coffee shops around the area because he likes to refer to himself as a ‘connoisseur’ 
You think Bert can get pretentious and he feels that that’s a fair assumption
You tend to be big spoon most of the time because Bertholdt would CRUSH you if you were little spoon
Sometimes, you’ll have pillows dividing the two of you just to ensure your safety from being smooshed
He’s very protective despite his seemingly docile nature. If he sees anything make you remotely upset, he will include himself into the picture to see if he can help you in any way
You always have to be patching him up because this poor man runs into low doors and ceilings all of the time. Plus, he’s extremely clumsy
He’s definitely a morning person, and his ideal morning would be described as spending time with you and watching as the sun rises in your twinkling eyes
He probably recites gushy, romantic poetry to you because he’s too shy to speak bluntly
But you still think the thought is super endearing and cute
He slow dances with you late into the night. He’ll have one arm slung around your waist and the other clasping around your fingers gently
He sings you to sleep whenever you’re feeling upset. He’ll lay you in his lap, stroke you hair, and sing one of your favorite tunes to soothe any negative tension you’re feeling
He’s such a good source of support. He will let you lay on him and sob into his chest if you flunked a really important exam and he’ll only hush you and tell you that he’s got you and that he’s here for you
He loves it when you wear heels out! He thinks you look absolutely stunning in them, and he’ll still be taller than you to some degree
Bert thinks that talking about marriage is too straightforward and tends to shy away from discussing it too often. But he really wouldn’t mind spending the rest of his days with someone as amazing as you
