Oc interview

I was tagged by @adelaidedrubman !

Judas King and Mary Hart agreed to sit down with Lauren Westfield for a couple preemptive interviews with her podcast and YouTube series, Case Files.

“Judas- oh you probably want the full thing, um, Judas King.”

nickname

“The Chosen One, Wrath, Sinner- I think Jacob called me the executioner once…”

Upon seeing Laurens growing discomfort Judas trails off, his face growing red

“Sorry that’s not what you meant. No I don’t really have any, Judas doesn’t really lend itself to nicknames. Skunk tried Jude once but it didn’t feel right.”

gender

“Male, mostly.”

star sign

“Aquarius I think? Mary talks about it a lot.

personality type

“I dont want to be a dick but I don’t really know what this has to do with Edens gate..”

Laura frowns a little, scratching at the back of her head. “We just want to get to know you a little better before we y’know get into the juicy stuff.”

“Oh right, you’re just gonna have to bear with me on some of these, my um, my whole world has been about this stuff uncensored for like five years.”

“Right, of course!” Lauren gives a sort of forced laugh.

orientation:

“I’ve mostly been using gay but I’ve been reading a lot online and I think I like queer more- I don’t like specific labels.”

nationality/ethnicity:

“American, obviously but I think French? I have a second cousin twice removed something or other that lives over there but I’m not really sure.”

fave fruit

“I love oranges- more than anyone should and I had one for the first time in years the other day and I gotta say even the best batch of bliss couldn’t beat that shit.”

Lauren, while still uncomfortable makes no move to change the subject this time.

fave season

“Early fall-late summer. The rain brings a chill and I think the mountains are best when it’s wet out.”

fave flower

“I think bindweed flowers are really cute, unfortunely bindweed sucks.”

fave scent

“There is this polish I use the interior of cars, mothers, it’s like a plastic restorer anyways that shit smells so good.”

“I didn’t like coffee or tea for a while but I’ve recently gotten into iced coffee, I like caramel iced lattes apparently.”

average hours of sleep:

“Good nights, 5-6 but I can easily go a night or two without sleeping. Night terrors. But the guys say I still flail around and shit on the good ones.”

Judas chuckled at this one.

dog or cat person

“Bears. I volunteered at a wildlife rehab center before the reapings and we had this bear, cheeseburger, a big old boy who was found by one of the senior members found him shoving trash in his face behind Chad’s old place. Burgers, fries, onion rings you name it Cheeseburger ate it. So he took him in anyways after everything went down Wade radioed in saying he had to release him because the Jacob wanted to experiment so I tracked him down. Found out he was diabetic and needed insulin so we became buddies. He’s in Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary now and I visit him every few days.”

It’s at this point Judas pulls out a phone and starts showing the staff pictures of a severely obese grizzly bear wearing a collar, at which they coo and awe. In newer photos he has lost a considerable amount weight.

dream trip

“Climb every mountain range in North America. I met a guy when I was a kid on a hike that did that, his name was trinket and he was like 70 years old climbing the continental divide in colorado. Said he sold everything a few years ago to fund his mission. I’d like to start in the south, Saturn says the Appalachians are pretty.”

“I don’t want to assume anything but wouldn’t you be sick of mountains at this point I mean…after everything that happened in the whitetails?”

Judas laughs. “It’s not the mountains fault some lunatic decided to murder and maim a bunch of people.”

favorite fictional/real character

“Optimus Prime, they made like three more transformers movies and I made everyone promise to watch them with me when we get home.”

number of blankets you sleep with?

“I have a weighted blanket and, okay don’t make fun of me, my baby blanket under that. It’s basically like a two foot square of worn out fabric at this point but we found it in the house after. Um. After.”

It’s at this point Judas begins to look upset for the first time during the interview. Lauren quickly asks the next question.

random fact:

“I thought it would be fun to teach boomer how to launch himself off my back but now he does it at random. It hurts, I’m sorry it’s been nice do you mind if I um. If I go sit outside for a little bit?”

“Of course not, take your time.”

This draws a laugh out Lauren.

“ENFP, crowds really get me going, I love talking to people. It’s why I love playing shows. Yeah sure the music is the thing that keeps me going after everything but the people make me feel alive.”

height

“Five feet two inches exactly. I got my drivers licence a few days ago. It’s crazy how many rules there are to driving in the real world. Skunk and Nick had two rules. Don’t hit anyone and stay on the pavement.”

Another laugh bubbles out of the staff and is met with a brilliant smile from Mary.

dog or cat person

“Does peaches count as a cat?”

She looks past the camera and grins at someone. Laura asks who peaches is.

“Peaches, my dear, is this badass cougar we found eating so- I’m not allowed to say that am I? We found her in the Henbane. Her owner just. Handed her to us, a trio of eighteen year old kids. She’s the sweetest thing…most of the time. She’s at Yellowstone with Cheeseburger.

Lipgloss hiiii!!

How are you doing?:) it’s almost February, but i guess winter isn’t over yet (at least where i live LOL) so take care and stay warmmm 🧣💞

Do you like tea? ☕️ if yes what’s your favorite flavor, if no what’s your go to beverage on a cold day?

And I wanted to ask if you you have any movie recommendation/s for me? Just anything that comes to mind that you liked! I see your reposts about movies and I’m always like “woah I definitely live under a rock because I don’t know any of these movies” 🫣🤣 but I’m taking notes!!

Take care <3

- 🫧 anon

Hiya 🫧 anon!!! 👋

This turned out so long! 🫣 so I’ve added a cut not to clog up the dash 🤭

I’m doing well! Been a little busy 😪 and thank you! The weather has been weird lately but it’s gotten chilly again so that means sweaters and jackets 😆 I hope you’re staying warm!!

I love tea! Hot tea and sweet tea (never iced tea 🤮 gtfo with that— that is not tea). I’ll even share a pic of my all time fave tea:

And I also love coffee and hot chocolate for warm beverages 😉 I’m not super picky; it all just depends on my mood.

Ooh movie recommendations!! 😃 I love movies 😌 and I’m always happy to talk about them lol. Hmmm, I’ll give you some random ones I’ve watched lately as I’m not sure what kind of genre you prefer:

Robocop (1987 version, please never ever watch the remake as it’s trash compared to the OG)

The Running Man (1987)

Total Recall (1990 version, also never watch the remake as it’s bad 🤢)

Cobweb (2023)

Antlers (2021)

Billy Madison (1995)

And I’ll stop there 😂 I won’t be offended if none of them are your jam; I grew up watching most of them so I probably have nostalgia glasses 😂

Death Beckons Me

Chapter 1

I sat in the office chair as quiet tears streamed down my face once again. How many times have I done this? Three, Five, Eight? Who knows, I stopped counting long ago. For me, it was just another day at Marco’s, A lovely oasis where patrons could come and listen to low soothing music while enjoying a nice clean meal off our newly remodeled menu. At least that’s what corporate thinks. To me, it’s just a place for people who don’t have offices to come and use free wif

i and complain about the workers all while sipping on a nice cup of tea or small coffee. What a wonderful oasis.

A knock on the door brought me back from the dark place in my head. I had a moment to quickly wipe my face before the office door opened and Joanie poked her head inside. She took one look at my red watery eyes and knew that I had been crying again. Joanie walked into the office and closed the door quietly behind her. Looking over at Joanie I couldn’t help but admire her beauty. Her long brown hair was twisted into a braid that stopped just before her waist. Her five-foot-six-inch figure was made up of long slender legs and a short waist. Her Asian heritage dominated her features so much that you couldn’t tell she was Peruvian as well by looking at her.

Brushing her bangs to the side Joanie leaned against the office door and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Two little words were all it took for the floodgates to open up again. The problem with asking someone that question is that you have to be ready to hear the response. Lucky for me Joanie was sincere and genuinely cared about my well-being. Patting my nose with my now soiled tissue I cleared my throat and tried giving a response.

“I don’t know, I'm just really depressed and I don’t want to be here”.

“No one wants to be here, this place sucks” came the snarky reply.

I snorted as a small smile crept onto my face. This is why Joanie and I got along so well. We always know what to say to one another to help lift each other’s spirits. Or maybe it is because we are both miserable losers who hate our lives. You know what they say, misery loves company. Either way, our friendship works.

Deciding that I had enough of Marco's and people for the day I picked up my purse and chicken caesar salad with olives, my fave, and turned towards the door. "I'm heading out okay, talk to you later." Walking over to give me a tight hug Joanie murmured "You know I'm here for you right? Call me if you need anything." Nodding my head I left the office and headed out to my car.

The drive home was always a form of therapy for me. Sitting in the car, blasting music while allowing my brain to wander. Occasionally I would look out the window at the big traditional-style houses with beautifully manicured lawns and litter-free sidewalks and dream about a life I'd never have. All too quickly the exit leading me home came up and all the beautiful scenery was replaced with litter-filled streets and worn down houses and apartment complexes. Pulling up to the three-family home I currently stayed at, I scowled at the dirty blue shingles that covered the home, the overgrown grass the landlord has yet to cut, and scattered bits of trash scavenged from the trash bin the night before by stray cats that wander the streets.

Opening the door to my apartment I was immediately greeted by the loud obnoxious yelling and foot-stomping by the lovely neighbors that occupied the second floor. Not bothering with the lights I maneuvered my way to the kitchen and sat down to enjoy my chicken caesar salad with olives. This was my life: every day I would wake up, go to work for eight hours, drive home, eat, shower, sleep and repeat. My social life did not exist outside of work. Sure I had work friends as I call them and we would check up on each other occasionally but as far as leaving the house and going out to "hang out" that did not happen.

Cleaning up my mess I took a quick shower and went to bed. Closing my eyes I felt myself slowly drifting to sleep, and that's when it happened.

Chapter 2

I felt something cold and moist on my cheek. Opening my eyes I realized that I was on the floor. A hard grey stone-covered floor to be exact. Picking myself up I began to look around. I noticed that I was in a long dark hallway with fire lamps flickering every few feet. The sound of laughter could be heard from a distance. Deciding that I needed help figuring out where I was I cautiously walked towards the laughter. Following the hall, I came upon a huge dining room filled with handsome males all dressed in various colored suits; and gorgeous women all dressed up in their most beautiful dresses. As I stepped into the room a smooth male voice spoke to me.

"Welcome my dear, it's about time you arrived. "

Suddenly a handsome male strolled over to me and kissed my hand.

"You look gorgeous," he said with a heart-stopping smile."

My name is Stefan, and what is your name, beautiful lady?

Looking up at him I lost all sense of time. This man was breathtaking.

Stefan had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks. His eyes were a mesmerizing deep ocean blue, with flecks of silver that sparkled with mischief. A strong angular jaw with a chiseled chin. His perfect lips were soft and ripe for the kissing. His strong hands held mine as he stared deep into my eyes. His strong toned body was covered in a slick black three-piece suit with diamond buttons. His black shoulder-length hair was sleeked back with a gentle curl at the ends. Being as handsome as he was I guess Stefan must get used to the sudden pause in a person's natural expression when they looked his way. However, despite all the opportunities that came his way Stefan was a one-woman-man, and his woman had just arrived.

Coming out of my stupor I swallowed and licked my now dry lips.

"Milania" I replied shyly while Stefan just continued to smile and hold my hand.

"Milania huh, a beautiful name for a beautiful woman."

We continued to stare at one another, ocean blue eyes met honey brown. The sound of someone clearing their throat brought us back to the party.

"Stefan, aren't you going to introduce your guest to the rest of us?

Stefan looked over at the arrogant blonde with her cool, calculating blue eyes and lean figure and gave a strained smirk.

"Of course Lillith". Grabbing my hand Stefan walked me over to a group of people waiting patiently by the dining room table.

"Good Evening everyone I would like to introduce you all to my gemmetta Milania."

Immediately different shouts rang into the air. The loudest coming from Lillith.

"She's your what!!! How is this possible!?"

Ignoring her loud outburst Stefan continued to address the room.

"I know this is a bit of a shock but I've known about Milania for quite some time."

This admission had me stunned. How the heck did he know about me? I thought with a confused expression on my face. And what the heck is a gemmetta? I was beyond confused at this point but kept a smile on my face nonetheless. Stefan would have to explain all of this to me later.

After the announcement, Stefan dragged me outside to a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden. All the while I could feel the deathly glare on my back coming from Lillith. Walking through the french doors I was mesmerized once again. A pond was built in the center of the garden, glistening under the moonlight, and teeming with life. Beautiful seven-foot hedges with roses growing out of them decorated the garden making a maze with a pond in the middle. Marble slabs lay here and there presenting the visitors with an elegant walkway to discover the garden. Fireflies and garden lamps sparkled throughout the garden illuminating the roses and pathway. It was a truly enchanting sight.

Turning to face me Stefan gave me a long slow once over from head to toe. Everywhere he looked I felt the warmth from his heated gaze.

" You are quite the specimen he said." Your skin is like creamy caramel and your hair is like waves of exotic dark chocolate. That dress fits you like a glove, I am glad I chose it."

Looking down at myself I finally noticed the elegant red dress I was wearing. The dress covers only a small portion of my shoulders and flows down into a tasteful halter neckline. It's a snug fit which makes the dress look comfortable, yet elegant and stylish. It's left simple, elegant, and undecorated, creating a look that flows from top to bottom. Paired with black red bottom kitten heels the overall looked had simplicity and elegance.

Blushing with embarrassment at the compliment I responded with a meek thank you. Clearing my throat I asked with genuine curiosity, " So what was all that back there? Who is that Lillith woman and why does she keep staring at me and why am I here to begin wit?"

Releasing a short laugh Stefan's eyes twinkled down at me. " So anxious my little gemmetta, I will answer all of your questions." "First you are attending a Welcome home party thrown in my honor. I have been away for many years and have only just returned a few days ago. Second, you are here because I summoned you here. I wished to have my gemmetta by my side for the evening. As for Lillith, she is unimportant. Do not worry your pretty little head about her."

"Okay," I sighed "Can I ask you something else?"

"Anything" came the quick reply.

" What does gemmetta mean?"

Smiling with his eyes sparkling with mischief he replied:" That my lovely gemmetta is my little secret, for now. Come let us return to the party."

Walking inside I noticed that all the guests had coupled up and were swaying smoothly to the low soothing music. Looking at Stefan nervously, I noticed he had his hand out for me. With a smirk, he asked, "May I have this dance?" Nodding my head I tentatively grabbed his hand and allowed him to pull me onto the dance floor. Placing my hands on his shoulders and his on my waist we began swaying to the music.

He turned elegantly, his body in tune with the slow music. The warmth between us grew more powerful by the second. My heartbeat was growing steadily along with it. Our dance was perfect; everything from our breathing to how our feet moved in sync. If by the end of this dance my breath is taken away, I would know the exact reason why. Stefan guided me across the dance floor as if we were in a dream. He kept his eyes on me, yet still, he knew exactly where to take me. Every moment, every angle seemed to be planned in advance. Nothing felt forced; I literally thought I was floating.

"Stefan," I whispered, "everyone is looking at us."

He squeezed my hand slightly and smiled "Really" he chuckled softly " I hadn't noticed."

That was when I decided to let go. Let my worries, my pain, and sorrow go. Right here, right now I was living. Nothing else seemed to matter anymore; I allowed him to take me anywhere he pleased on this dance floor. We became one with the song, with the dance, and with each other. When the song ended Stefan took me by the waist and lowered me into a smooth dip. staring at one another our breath mixed as we both exhaled harshly. Stefan gave my lips a lingering look and before I could register what he was doing his lips came crashing down on mine for an intimate kiss. Closing my eyes I enjoyed the moment. The feel of his lips on my mine. The heat radiated from my body as he deepened the kiss. It felt like I was falling and floating all at the same time. My eyelids began to flutter open and suddenly I was back in my room with my alarm blaring.

I was startled to see that I was back in my bedroom. Turning off the alarm, I ran my hand through my waist-length wavy hair and sighed. That was one hell of a dream. Putting my fingers to my lips I could still feel the warmth from Stefan's kiss. Shaking my head I decided it was time to leave fantasy land and get back to reality. It was time for work.

Chapter 3

Walking into Marco's I immediately felt my mood darken. I really hate this place. I thought as I plastered a fake smile on my face and greeted my coworkers as I quickly made my way to the office. Joanie was there waiting for me with a pack of snickers and a hug. Good ole Joanie, she always knows exactly what I need. Returning her hug I graced her with a smile and asked: "so how is your day going so far?"

"My day is going as good as it can. But enough about me, how are you feeling today?"

Taking time to really access my mood I answered: "honestly, I feel great."

Joanie gave me a scrutinizing look before nodding her head once. "Okay, I believe you. Now let's get to work after we eat some chocolate."

Laughing I shook my head at her "sounds like a plan to me."

The rest of the day was uneventful. It was spent helping the workers on the production line or cashiering. Taking the occasional walk around the cafe to check for debris or safety issues. Interacting with the customers, and so on. Before I knew it, it was time for me to go home, so I grabbed my infamous chicken caesar with olives and made my way home. Once there I ate my salad and decided to do some yoga. I put my hair up into a ponytail and changed into my bright pink and yellow workout top and black yoga pants.

Since I am a beginner at yoga I wasn't able to do a lot of the poses or keep my balance very often but I did enjoy yoga. It helped me clear my mind and relax. Just as I was doing the downward dog pose I felt as if someone was watching me. Getting up and looking around I was completely alone in the house but I still felt eyes on me. Deciding I had enough yoga I went to take a shower and being that I had the whole day off tomorrow I decided to watch a movie. I put in my favorite movie Avatar and as the movie progressed I slowly started to dose off.

Suddenly I was falling, surrounded by nothing but darkness. It was as if I was falling into a bottomless pit. Then Slowly a patch of burgundy came rushing towards me. Closer and closer it got until I landed with a whoosh of air escaping my mouth. Thankfully the nice plush carpet softened the blow, but I was still a bit winded. Sitting up I saw Stefan rushing over to me.

" Are you alright love?" Helping me to my feet, his eyes quickly looked over my body.

Blushing I answered with a shy "Yes". "So where are we this time?" I asked looking around curiously.

"We are in my office love."

"And why exactly are we in your office?" I asked inquisitively

"Because I have some very important letters to send off and then you and I are going to spend some quality time together." He said with a heated gaze

Unable to look away I swallowed hard and returned the stare. He was such a handsome man, I certainly did not mind the sight. Slowly he began to walk over to me, his ocean blue eyes darkened the closer he got to me. Suddenly he pulled me into a heated kiss. Stunned I just stood there but slowly I began to move my lips with his. He began to deepen the kiss, biting my lip in order to gain access. When I obliged he growled and plunged his tongue with force into my mouth. I was floating once again. Fully engrossed in the passion this beautiful man embed upon my lips. All too soon the kiss ended and Stefan put his forehead against mine, breathing harshly. Cradling my cheek he placed a quick tender kiss on my lips before pulling away.

Walking over to his desk he picked up the phone and was soon talking to someone, however, I was unable to hear the conversation over the sound of my own breathing. Using my yoga teachings I closed my eyes and began breathing in and out slowly to regain my breath and slow down my heartbeat. Opening my eyes I was met with ocean blue. Startled I took a step.

Lifting his hands in innocence Stefan graced me with a smile. "Sorry I did not mean to startle you." He said with a serious look. "So," he said sticking his hands in his pocket " I see you like yoga."

"Yes I do like yoga, but how did you know?"

"I saw you earlier and I have to say I was thoroughly...impressed."

"What do you mean you saw me, how did you see me!?"

Before Stefan could answer there was a brisk knock on the door.

"Ah," he said, "That must be Ellie. You may Enter."

In burst a petite young girl with a head full of red bouncy curls and slanted baby blue eyes. "I got the dress ready for you sir," she said in a sweet Irish accent.

"Very good " he replied. Turning to me he beckoned me over with a nod of his head. Holding my waist tightly he began introductions.

"Ellie, I would like you to meet my gemmetta Milania, Milania this is Ellie, one of the maids here. She will be taking you to get changed for the surprise I have waiting for you."

Without another word, Ellie grasped hold of my wrist and began pulling me towards the door. Looking back at Stefan he was standing with his hands in his pocket, watching me as Ellie pulled me away.

After walking down several corridors and up a flight of stairs, we arrived at a beautifully carved wooden door. Elli opened the door and dragged me inside and I lost my breath again for the millionth time.

I looked about me in amazement. A large bed looking like a snowdrift, so white and feathery was in the middle of the room. One large bay window framed the room with a view of the beautiful maze garden. The walls were white except for one by the head of the bed was blue and covered in beautiful hand-painted murals, the colors strong and vibrant. The carpet was also blue with a soft plush thread. A blue vanity sat across from the bed with beautiful oval lights located on the top. Overall the room was comfortably elegant.

Walking into the room I saw a beautiful white lace dress with ocean blue heels beneath it lying in wait on the bed.

"Okay Miss," Ellie said in a cheerful voice. "Let's get you dressed.

Chapter 4

Walking down the stairs in my knee-length, white lacey dress, blue heels, and hair tied up in a bun, I met Stefan. He looked handsome in an all-black suit and slicked-back hair. His ocean blue eyes sparkled as I descended and by the time I reached him, they had darkened considerably.

"You look magnificent," he said as he placed a kiss on my hand.

"Thank you. You look very handsome ." I replied while smiling up at him, "now will you tell me where we are going?

"Patience my little gemmetta, you will know soon enough.

Pouting I nodded my head. He was right of course I didn't want to spoil the surprise.

Grabbing my hand he guided me outside to a beautiful white Rolls Royce. Once inside he pulled out a black napkin and tied it over my eyes. After that, a comfortable silence spread throughout the car. Stefan grabbed my hand and held it for the remainder of the ride.

After the thirty-minute drive, Stefan gently guided me into what I can only assume to be a building of some sort. Once inside he released the blindfold and I blinked several times to allow my eyes to adjust to the light. What I saw was breathtaking.

We were inside a beautiful restaurant with black and white chairs and beautiful mahogany tables covered by a pristinely pressed white linen cloth. Black curtains covered the huge windows and dim recessed lighting set the mood. The overall effect was romantic elegance which I absolutely loved.

Looking around I also noticed that the restaurant was empty except for one waiter and a chef both waiting patiently for us to sit and order our meal.

Curiously I turned to Stefan and asked, "where is everybody?"

Shrugging he said, "Everyone who needs to be here is present my gemmetta."

"oh okay," I responded still looking around as if waiting for a crowd of people to appear out of thin air.

Placing his hand on my lower back Stefan began to guide me towards a table in the middle of the restaurant. Pulling out my chair I thanked Stefan and took a seat at the elegant table. As soon as Stefan was in his seat the waiter appeared at our table with two menus, holding one out for each of us. Stefan simply waved his away and ordered a steak rare with red wine.

Looking over my menu my eyes immediately rested on something called chicken kastoori. Reading the description my mouth began to water: "Succulent pieces of boneless chicken marinated in ginger and garlic, spiced with freshly ground pepper and chargrilled to perfection."

Hmm, I thought, I was definitely getting this chargrilled perfection.

Smiling at the waiter, I ordered the chicken kastoori with red wine and handed my menu back to the waiter who rushed off to tell the chef. Minutes later he returned with a bottle of red wine, filled our glasses, and left the bottle on the table. With a bow, he made a hasty retreat to the back.

Wow, I thought as I stared after him, the service here is great.

Turning towards Stefan, he was looking at me with a strange glint in his eyes. Clearing my throat I asked, "So, how long did it take for you to clear this place for tonight?"

Swirling his wine he took a sip and sighed. "It took me exactly one minute to make the phone call and half an hour for the place to be empty and ready for our arrival.

With my jaw slacked I looked at him in amazement. Who was this man!?

I suddenly became nervous and struggled to think about what to say to this seemingly powerful man. Thankfully our food arrived and saved me the embarrassment of trying to start a conversation.

Stabbing into my chicken kastoori, I sighed in contentment as the flavors erupted into my mouth. The chicken really was soft and succulent and charred to perfection and the ginger, garlic, and pepper danced along my tongue in a beautiful ballet of flavors. I was in heaven.

Looking up from my meal, I saw Stefan staring at me with amusement in his eyes, his food barely touched. I, however, had gone through half of my meal. Blushing in embarrassment I put down my fork and picked up wine.

"So", Stefan mused, "I would ask how do you like your meal, but I see that you are enjoying it thoroughly. He said with mirth sparkling in his eyes.

Blushing deeper, I cleared my throat. "Yes", I am enjoying it thoroughly. I said embarrassment coating my voice. "Did you not enjoy your meal?" I asked inquisitively. Looking at his scarcely touched steak.

"The Steak is quite tasty. I simply yearn for something more" he said giving me a heated stare.

I blinked in response, not knowing what to say I began eating once more.

Ten minutes later I was happily stuffed and sipping on more wine, a nice buzz beginning to overtake me.

Looking over at Stefan he was pushing his steak around his plate. "I need to tell you something," he said.

Noticing the nervous look on his face I took a sip of wine and gave him my undivided attention. "What is it?"

"Well", he said nervously, "I'm a vampire"

Is the Internet Getting Meaner?

I'm going to dispense a bunch of advice that I wish both I had heard when I was younger and on the internet, and that I think younguns on the internet could benefit from hearing.

youtube

The way people talk about very minor celebrities and critique their every action would absolutely destroy any normal person. Before you write anything online, consider - has someone else already said? Did they maybe say it better? Are you actually adding to a conversation? Yeah, those are a lot of questions to think about.

But especially white people like myself, and especially young people who may not have learned the full weight of empathy and emotional maturity, need to think before we post. So, take it from an older millennial - you're going to make big mistakes that you regret, you're not always going to say the right thing, and god help you if you blow up enough to make an income at the entertainment industry.

Accept that microcelebrities and celebrities are going to be problematic or just do things that you don't like - and make room to just not like something without having to justify it on a moral basis.

Oh, and learn the difference between personal nitpicks, like "I don't like the way she pauses between sentences, or the way they're incredibly cringey" and actual issues, like, "okay, that was racist, that's not okay." Of course, there's overlap here - fandoms can be incredibly fragile about critiques of their faves - but delivery does mtter.

And finally - learn to complain and mock people in private, rather than on forums. Every time we post something on Twitter rather than complaining about it in private, we're putting it out there for the world to read. And that has a different effect than bitching in private to friends.

Because if you don't? You're going to betray any principles you have of being empathetic. and even if you don't care about the celebrity's feelings, your fellow fans will still read what you say. And it might make them feel terrible about themselves, especially if they're dorky, or they snort when they laugh, or idk, they overshared something recently. So - try to hold others only to the standard you hold yourself to, and for both yourself and others, learn the value of grace and forgiveness. Not everything is really worth throwing someone in the trash bin over. It's so easy to spend way too much energy on critiquing youtubers or any other mildly public figure when we actually have real, serious problems to focus on - like holding cops and politicians accountable, and climate change. And yes, someone can care about two things at once - but can you care about ten at once?

So don't fall for the easy trap of wanting to fix or mock something small and stupid. Our anger should be directed at the wealthy class, definitely, but celebrities are just the scapegoats of the rich. Spend your energy and rage on organizing, not merely griping.

Should I follow my own advice? Absolutely. Are we all still in a pandemic, which makes it kind of hard to protest? Yeah. But let's spend our energy annoying the people who really, really deserve it.

broken arms, unbroken bonds - headcanons

fluff, chaos/crack

(the legend of korra — romantic! mako x fem!kyoshi warrior! reader)

a makeshift sparring session turns into a really humiliating healing trip featuring your favorite non bender asami and republic city's iconic kyoshi warrior y/n

cw / bone breaking

a/n — haha it's been a fat minute ! i wanted to get stuff out but things have been so crazy and sad for me it felt more like a job to write these. hopefully i get to spoil you guys soon 🥺 ilysm enjoy !! makyoshi is my fave ship to write so :)

okay so idk if you know this but in kyoshi chaos mako mentions y/n getting her arm broken by asami

that's what we're talking about today so

basically it's like a normal day (as normal as it can get tf) for the krew

you're at air temple island kinda just chilling but you're bored bc all you do is dive into action !! relaxation is not !! an !! option !!

and you're all sitting in the dining hall just sipping tea

you weigh your options between sparring with mako's bestie jinora (makonora bestie agenda i will die on that hill tyvm) but she's probably off reading or chilling with kai

ikki would just ask you questions endlessly and as much as you love the girl you get that from bolin on a daily basis, same with meelo but with additional flirting

you try thinking of the krew but mako is injured, bolin is simping for opal, and you want korra to catch a break

so you place your cup down and stare straight at asami which catches her attention

"woah y/n are you okay?" she's waving her hand in front of your face and you nod

"do you wanna spar?" "why don't you ask the others?" "they're benders, wouldn't be a fair game. don't you think?"

cue korra and bolin huffing and mako snorting like "this is gonna be immaculate" (it was not.)

there's a huge smirk on your face and asami grins devilishly

"alright, you're on!" and you two jump up, with you grabbing your duffle bag filled with your uniform / equipment which makes bolin jump

his eyes are wide and he points to the duffel bag on your shoulder

"you didn't have that with you earlier. do you always carry it with you?" "uh yeah, you never know when you have to fight off someone suspicious. it comes in handy, except for that one time i tried to kill mako"

cue the awkward laughter and sudden exit

so y'all are getting ready and korra is like "let's make this more intense and recreate the probending arena !!"

girlie uses her avatar powers to earthbend a piece of the earth and makes a lil mini probending area and they're surrounded by the water

she didn't think it through so it takes you a while to actually think of how to get there and y'all ultimately use an ice bridge to get there

okay now this is where things get intense; bolin refs while mako and korra cheer for their respective gfs (lots of glaring and trash talk from the two and they're seriously about to go probend each other until bo just blows the whistle)

much narrating mhm mhm and y'all take so many blows (you're so happy bc asami ain't holding back at all like yes ty ty)

you're actually about to lose, and she didn't think you'd resist and she had a hold on your arm, so when you do y'all fall to the floor and you just hear this insane crack and a scream

bolin yells because the scream scared him but when asami rolls off you, you both groan

you try to point to asami that she cheated and you literally yelp in pain and it's mako who jumps into action

"and this is why i don't spar with you as hard as i used to." "shut up mako! i've-" "been hurt worse, i know." which causes a burst of laughter

he helps you up and grabs your waist even though it's only your arm that hurts

you don't protest he's a touch starved baby he needs the affection

korra takes a piece of mf sea water to heal you but it hurts sm that you have to head back to the island to get kya to heal you fully

"jeez, what did you guys do?! not even healing water is going to mend this, you'll need a cast" "it was just a simple sparring session, i'm fine!" (now that was a fucking lie)

you never cared for being injured because you were never hurt enough to be bound by earthly tethers such as casts 😔 rip y/n

you were mentally preparing yourself for six weeks of agonizing pain and doing absolutely nothing when mako comes into your room as the sun is setting with ikki in tow

he gives you a kiss on the forehead before sitting down beside you while she sits a box on your bed, giving you a big hug and a get well soon card

she says bye to mako before sliding the door closed

"what's in the box?" "just open it" he's already wincing and regretting his decision when you open the box to see pens and various colored inks

"why'd ikki give us this?" "guess she couldn't stand you wallowing in sorrow at doing nothing, so she brought you some of her art supplies to pass the time." he shrugs and takes his arm off the sling, holding it out for you

"what? go crazy. if it'll make time go by faster for you, i'll sit here for hours while you draw on my cast." "mako, i don't know how to draw!" "well then, you've got six weeks to learn! come on y/n just let me be nice to you for a little bit." and you smile widely

you guys stayed up for a fair bit, so when asami opens your door to call you for breakfast while working up an attempt at a sincere apology to ease her guilt, you don't notice her big smile at the sight of you two

y'all are laying your heads against each other, casted arms on each other's laps that are filled with expert kyoshi warrior makeup doodles, the other covered with scribbles of reminders, compliments, and affirmations all matching ofc

she cleans up your little art session, leaving a note with her apology before walking out with a smile on her face

breaking your arm may not have been the most delightful thing you had to experience, but at least mako made things more bearable (though you do walk into the dining hall with red faces, the airbender kids fawning over your artwork, and a gushing bolin about how him and opal could be like that if their arms ever broke together)

You said in the tags you like “Freddy’s Dead: the Final Nightmare” most of the fandom seems to hate it so could you talk about why you like it?

OKAY ANON U ASKED FOR IT AND IMMA GIVE IT TO YOU

Honestly? I’m someone who enjoys movies that aren’t perfect, movies that are so bad that they’re good, or movies that are simply enjoyable for their entertainment value. Freddy’s Dead certainly isn’t on the level of the original in regards to being a really solid and well-crafted film. But I find it has great entertainment value as well as having some really great moments that are often overlooked because of the hate for the movie.

Now a lot of people go back and forth about how giving Freddy more of a backstory and revealing having a daughter ruins his character but honestly? It adds another interesting layer to his character for me, especially because Maggie Boroughs is a really strong character and works as a good foil against her father. Is it a weak element to add to his backstory overall? Maybe, but I enjoy it so it doesn’t really bother me. Maggie keeps my interest and is a really great final girl, and the fight between her and Freddy at the end is always one of my faves.

Also, can we talk about how the film that is probably the most comedic overall in the series, (basically Freddy meets Looney Tunes), it has one of the darkest moments of the entire series, in my opinion? When Tracy is finally subjected to Freddy’s torment, we get this really gross, dingy, horrifyingly brutal setting as well as paints the sexual abuse she received at the hands of her father early in life. And how she overcomes her own nightmare by beating her father to death with the tea kettle and then screaming, finally doing to him what she’s always wished she could have done, almost a catharsis through her dream. Legit she’s one of my fave characters and it’s a scene that always affects me when I rewatch.

In defense of the humor, can I just say that while I know humor is subjective, I just find this movie fucking hilarious? So many dumb jokes, Freddy’s very dark humor, random cameos by Roseanne and Tom Arnold and Alice Cooper as Freddy’s stepfather (which is PERFECT by the way i love my man alice), plus Johhny Depp getting smacked by Freddy with the frying pan. THE MAP SAYS WE’RE FUCKED! And of course the fUCKING POWERGLOVE!!!

Side note, while everyone is allowed to like or dislike this movie for any reason, I find myself getting defensive when I hear people trash talk Rachel Talalay or anything like that. I used to be a part of a Freddy fanpage on facebook that was so popular that even the actors were a part of the group and sometimes interacted, and the number of fucking dudebros that were like RACHEL TALALAY RUINED THE FREDDY FRANCHISE (this was before the remake came out btw). And that pissed me off because for one films are a collaborative effort, and two because of COURSE people dogpile on one of the few female-directed horror films at the time and acting like she had no reason to direct the film. Rachel Talalay has so many credits to her name and tons of experience, not to mention she was with the nightmare franchise SINCE THE BEGINNING and made her way up the ladder until she became a fucking director like New Line Cinema was a studio that gave a shit about their people and tried to foster that creativity. So yeah all in all I get mad when people sum up Freddy’s Dead critiques to simply being potshots at Rachel Talalay. I won’t fuck with that sort of bs.

God I could go on forever about Freddy’s Dead, like legit I would have a ball writing an article or something lengthy about the entire thing, but yeah these are some of my major reasons for enjoying the movie. Seriously, it’s one that I can put on and know it will make me smile. Thanks for letting me ramble on about this!

Favorite Twilight blogs?

i’m always ready to answer this ask again because i love mentioning everyone i admire hehe. here are my fave blogs, my friends, & why they’re the best. ♡

@bellasredchevy ugh i love kae. do i have the power to appoint a ruler of the renaissance? no. but if i could... it’d be kae bc all her takes are the takes. i think her answers to asks are always either really funny and witty or just really smart. she’s super kind but she’s also a very no bullshit person because she’ll tell it like it is to shitty anons. she also has really cool life experiences that she’ll very casually mention and you’re like i’m sorry what. u worked w... tigers??? why can’t i let that go this is literally not the first time i’ve brought that up lmao. anyways, if kae told me to jump off a cliff (recreationally and recklessly), i’d do it.

@inthemiddleofmymidnight i think kim is the first friend i made on here. she’s wonderful and insanely funny. maybe i’m just easy to make laugh but every story she tells truly makes me laugh out loud... and i’ll laugh again thinking about it later. she is truly a meme queen. her posts... chef’s kiss. also she will put team edward/team jacob shirts in ur animal crossing able’s sisters if u ask. i love u kimmie im ur biggest fan. also like me, kim would be afraid to dive off the cliff if we were cliff diving but then she’d be the one to PUSH me sdhjfhsj i just love her so much. her friendship literally means so much to me!!

@bellaskhakis nayana is the type to go from trashing edward relentlessly to simping for edward in 2 seconds. in real life she’s probably stressing over school but mentally she is in forks, wa in bella & edward’s lil cottage reading fanfiction. if u need recommendations, she’s got u. she’s a great listener & friend & her humor is like wonderfully chaotic. she’ll cry but then she’ll take that energy and drunk liveblog the twilight movies or buy a bunch of plants. if ur friends w her, she will send u all the funny tiktoks & that is LOVE. nay would think she would want to cliff dive but then need to talk herself into it while everyone else goes first and then realize she was the last person up there and freak out but then dive anyways

@cullen-collective omg kaity is such a great person to talk to. she’s like jacob – she’s an easy person to talk to. she listens but also really makes u feel comfortable & like u’ve been friends forever. kaity don’t read the rest of this paragraph i don’t want u to feel self conscious/overly self aware hehe BUT my fave part of kaity’s blogs as i’ve said to her before is like the literal stream of consciousness happening in her tags. why do i feel like kaity would run and JUMP. would she do a cannonball??? i would like to see it

@teamjacobthot my love for dij... unconditional. irrevocable. dee is just like COOL. why did i feel so lame saying that. she just has the best energy and i know i keep calling everyone funny but really dee is FUNNY. like kaity, she’s also the kind of person that i feel like you just automatically get along with & feel comfortable around. obviously we’re all here for fun but i feel like dee’s blog really embodies that fun like no other because either in her posts or notes or answers to asks... it’s the most chaotic unexpected topics that will truly kill u. im thinking of that freaking diarrhea ask she got that she just reblogged again... cursed. but i love her. look i’m not saying she WOULD bc i’m sure it’s probably much scarier once ur actually up there but i feel like dee would also be the instigator with cliff diving and do some kind of trick like a flip idk if she really would but MAYBE

@howlonghaveyoubeenseventeen emma is the ultimate sweetie. always down to talk abt cute dogs or painting or disney channel movies or how jacob is superior to all. she’s just precious and kind but ready to THROW DOWN for u in one second. i literally have been laughing at the same joke for like two weeks but when i said two hurricanes looked like they were coming towards houston she said “good thing i have two fists” shdusdjdkd. emma is the type of friend who would remind u that if u really don't want to jump off the cliff, don’t feel peer pressured bc u don’t have to. but then if u built up the courage, she’d be the one to hold ur hand and jump with u. ok i’m retiring the cliff diving thing i’m sorry i really RAN with that.

@kaquiche man i love taryn. i feel like taryn’s meme usage is always perfect & also she would definitely save ur life. she does ARCHERY ok she would protect us all in the event of a zombie apocalypse. i’m literally fighting the urge to say FUNNY again but it’s not my fault if everyone makes me LAUGH here. taryn’s one of the first people i remember seeing interact w my posts 🥺 she been supporting me since DAY ONE baby. i just love her. she’ll hype u up. she’ll always make u CRY with her twilight video edits. seriously if u want that emo twilight content to make u FEEL SOMETHING... this is who to follow.

@bellas-dumptruck-ass i love elaine and she’s going to laugh at me again but i really think elaine is so smart!!! like a genius... my brain could not process the info that she’s literally studying like it’s no big deal. elaine is so sweet ugh i keep saying that but everyone is just really super kindhearted here ok!! her username KILLS me. like i think this is truly peak comedy. her brand... it’s everything to me. classic memes & great tags.

@phil-dwyer-stan-account addison is SO SO nice and understanding and sensitive. if nayana is in bella & edward’s cottage reading, addison is in there baking bread and cookies and brownies. she’s beautiful and sweet and silly and has the disney channel TEA you didn’t know you needed. she’s another person that will instantly befriend you. she’ll go out of her way to really let you know that she admires you & is excited to be ur friend. the actual definition of a sweetheart. is she the real life esme?? she might be

@volturialice g... i’m lowkey her biggest fan. name a post that didn’t go off...i’ll wait. like literally all of her memes will make u laugh. u know what?? g IS the twilight renaissance. her latest midnight sun posts have especially been making me die and if you’re new here, she’s probably like one of the first blogs u have to follow. every time i see her username in my notifications... my heart is FAT 💗 also she writes fanfics so if ur looking for twilight fanfiction, she has a bunch & also a rec!!

@leahclearwaterdefensesquad kate is so kind & one of my go to people for tag games, but kate is ALWAYS providing the leah content that we NEED. also the lesbian twilight ship moodboards and PLAYLISTS. i also really appreciate how kate & @vampireguarddogs are always some of the first blogs i see that boost a lot of important talking points related to the series on racism. bc if you’re going to be in this fandom, there’s a lot you need to make sure you’re educated on since this series is problematic. like we’re all here to be nostalgic and have fun but we can’t do that whilst ignoring relevant conversations. dee & kae also always have great takes in these discussions too!

@edytheelizabethcullen ok i’m going to try & wrap this up bc i’ve been going on forever and there’s a lot of blogs i really love & admire, but i’ll finish by saying that alex is an actual angel and so intelligent and charming and u will have great conversations about the series with her!!

#sorry for this LONG ASS POST but u asked #ask #anon #faves

Scenes from the Past Six Years

There are a number of fics in the drafts of this blog that I started a few years ago, and no longer feel the inclination to finish. But there are still some pretty fun bits and bobs, so I’m going to throw them all up in one post if anyone is interested in some disjointed excerpts.

Dueling - Jan 27, 2014

James has his hands on her shoulders, and she is calculating how best to catapult him off of her body when his lips descend to kiss her thoroughly.

“James,” she protests, as they pause for a breath, “we’re supposed to be fighting.”

“Sorry,” he murmurs, but the grin on his face contradicts his apology.

Later, when they are about to leave, Lily says, “I think we should compartmentalize our situations.” She does not meet his eyes, choosing instead to rub nonexistent grease off of her wand by running it against her jeans.

“How so?”

“Well… as much as I like snogging you, I think that we should have… snogging times, and dueling times. So we can be efficient with, er, both,” It sounds oddly formal and for reasons Lily is unsure about, a flush has risen in her cheeks. She still refuses to look him in the face.

James tilts her chin up, a gleeful look on his face. “Lily Evans, are you asking me out?”

She splutters out an indignant protest but James just grins all the wider. “You are asking me out,” he says, leaning closer to get her to look at him directly. Her cheeks are hot as his hands move to either side of her face. “Yes.”

And There Was Only One Bed - Feb 2, 2014

“One of you can come up and sleep with me.” As all four boys seem to prepare themselves for a smarmy comment, she adds, “Don’t start, gits. You know what I mean.”

“If someone’s joining you, Wormtail’s out,” Sirius says, his eyes flicking to the boy in question, “he’s a kicker.” From his tone, it seems that Sirius has experienced this very quality one too many times.

Peter huffs indignantly. “Padfoot’s a prat, I kicked him out of a hammock one time—” He cuts himself off as he sees the black-haired boy fingering his wand. “Fine, I’m out.”

“I’m out, too,” Remus says with a sigh. “I roll about too much, I’m afraid. I’d be falling out of the bed anyway."

James does not say anything, but instead he and Sirius seem to communicate something with a glance between them. James gives Sirius a warning look, but Sirius simply grins and pats the wooden arms of the chair, saying, "I’m comfortable where I am,”

“C'mere, then,” Lily says to James, gesturing to the spot next to her. Shooting a loaded glance at his best mate, he sits down.

Pecker Parody - April 22, 2014

James Potter had a problem. This particular dilemma was approximately five feet tall, freckled, and had a habit of popping up at inopportune times.

This problem was his diddly-doo. His magical wanking stick, if you will. You see, while having a dingler the size of a broomstick was all well and good when he was a boy, due to the fact he could ride it around like a pogo stick, at the age of eighteen, it was a bit more troublesome.

The truth of the matter was that he wanted to put his party popper inside Lily’s cash register, but he didn’t know how to tell her.

Birth - March 15, 2015

“I can’t believe you just did that,” he says in awe. “Did you know you could do that?”

Brushing some of her hair out of her sweaty face, Lily laughs. “I’d had some time to get used to the idea, yeah.”

James looks back at the bundle in his arms, and then again at his wife. “You just pushed an entire person out of you. Our person. He’s not tiny, either. I mean, he is tiny, but only because he’s a baby. Otherwise, he’s quite a large thing to be exiting any orifice.”

“If we ever do this again, you can do that part,” she says leaning back against the pillows.

Grease AU - June 25, 2015

(Also posted here.)

“This is… ridiculous,” she murmurs against his lips.

James laughs. “It’s a little late to denounce snogging on the beach, Evans, since we’ve been doing it for the past few weeks.” As he speaks, he drops his mouth to her neck, smiling as her eyes flutter.

Lily pulls his face up by the chin to meet his gaze. “I meant this whole thing.” She gestures around them. “After what happened after the Defence O.W.L. at the end of last term, how can you find any of this normal? Everything was such a mess after. Hell, if we hadn’t both come to the same place this holiday, I’d still be stewing in it by September.”

“But we did,” says James, brushing his nose against hers. “We talked and we yelled and we talked more and then you threw yourself at me.”

He dodges her swat at him much too easily to satisfy her, but at her raised brow he makes an amendment. “Alright, so I may have done some of the throwing. I’m a Chaser. I need to hone my reflexes.”

“My point is, it doesn’t feel like you’re Potter on this beach,” Lily says, ruffling his hair pointedly. She smiles. “You’re just James.”

“Just James,” he repeats, adjusting so he lies beside her instead of half atop her. “You make it sound like I’m two different people.”

It is Lily’s turn to laugh. “Aren’t you? I can’t imagine this version of you hoisting someone up by their ankles.”

“Of course not,” says James immediately. “I’m wearing trunks. Where would I keep my wand?”

Lily is already giggling by the time James begins suggesting locations on his body that he might be hiding his wand, and by the end of his lewd list, she is nearly having a fit on the sand. When she catches her breath, she looks at him. “I know I don’t get to keep Just James forever,” she says, leaning on his arm. “But at least try to preserve the illusion for me when we get back to school by avoiding me.”

James is quiet for a moment, but when he speaks his voice is soft. “You’re being silly, Lily,” he tells her, pulling her closer. “This is who I am. Caring about your feelings, about anyone’s feelings, isn’t exclusive to this beach.”

She kisses him, slowly and deeply. “Try to remember saying that.”

James grins. “If I’m going to be reliving a memory from this holiday, I reckon I have to choose the night under the pier—”

Lily laughs, cutting him off with her lips. “Be quiet, James.”

Masquerade - Dec 16, 2015

“So you’re Muggle-born, then?” he says thoughtfully. She stiffens, and he hasten to add, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’m just trying to figure how that narrows down the options for who you are.”

She smiles, but then looks a little put-out. “That’s hardly fair, I don’t know anything about you.”

“Pureblood,” he tells her, kissing her neck.

“A pureblood that doesn’t care that I’m Muggle-born? That does narrow down the options.” Her fingers tug at his robe. “N.E.W.T. classes?”

He shakes his head, kissing her lips quickly. “Too easy. Do you play Quidditch?”

“No. Do you?”

After a moment of hesitation, he says, “Yes,” so she is quick to follow with a suspicious, “On a team or for leisure?”

He laughs. “Both.”

Problematic.jpg - March 29, 2016

“James Potter,” Lily says to Mary suddenly, “is my problematic fave.”

“Receipts, please,” says Mary, not looking up from her copy of Witch Weekly.

“Plus, he’s like, a pureblood. So he’s got the whole legacy of all that fucked-up culture.”

“But like, a lowkey pureblood. He’s 12% Muggle-born.”

Junks the Trash King: The Sequel - April 18, 2016

“I’ve met the Rubbish Man,” announces Lily upon entering her flat.

“Good, tell him we need a new recycling bin,” says Mary absently. “There’s a family of raccoon living in ours.”

“Not him, Junks.”

The name catches Mary’s attention. “The soulmate?” she asks, straightening up. “How was he?”

Lily drags herself over to their kitchen table and collapses into a seat. “Not named Junks, for one.” Lily holds up her palm for Mary to inspect. “Apparently this is supposed to say ‘James.’”

“Shame. I’d rather hoped to one day receive a wedding invitation inviting me to the marriage of Lily and Junks. Though I’d have to bin it for the wordplay, you understand.” Lily turns her hand so she can flip Mary the bird, but from the look in her eyes, her friend has already spotted something new. “Got his number already, did you?”

Baby Brain - June 15, 2016

“I think I'm pregnant,” says Lily, so quietly that James almost doesn't hear it.

“Oh.”

“Oh?” she repeats, turning over in bed to face him. “I tell you I might be up the spout and all I get is, ‘Oh?’”

James grins at her in the dark. “Would you have preferred ‘Blimey?’” He expects the pillow that's aimed at his face.

“James.”

“Yes, dear?”

“Would you be okay with it? If I am?” It's hard to see her eyes clearly with such little light, but James can hear in her tone that she's nervous.

“I... Yeah, I would,” says James, seeking out her hand. “You know I want kids with you. I mean, I might not have seen this starting so soon, but I think we're pretty great at improvising. Remember our wedding reception?”

Lily laughs. “Somehow I don't think using Dumbledore's hat to catch projectile vomit is the same thing as raising a child.”

“I think you'll find they're remarkably similar.”

She laughs again. “I'm trying to work myself into a worry, James, and you're making it very difficult.”

He leans over to kiss her on the cheek. “Sorry, dear. Feel free to treat our child as a sign of impending doom.”

Lily leans her head onto his shoulder. “We're nineteen, James.”

“Old enough to be married,” he replies, poking her with his ring finger.

“We don't know anything about children.”

James smiles. “Children don’t know anything either, so we’ll be on a level playing field.”

(ʘ‿ʘ)ノ✿ Hold My Flower - August 17, 2016

“Lily, no.”

She scoffs. “What do you mean, ‘Lily, no?’ I didn’t say anything.”

“Lily,” he says cheerfully, throwing an arm around her shoulder, “We have been married for forty-five years now—”

“Dating for eight months,” she corrects, holding back a smile.

James waves a hand dismissively. “So, in that time, I am confident that I’ve grown to recognize what your faces mean. And that face said, ‘I’m going to put frogspawn in his tea.’”

“I don’t carry around frogspawn, James.”

He looks at her dubiously. “But you’d find some, wouldn’t you?”

Countdown - October 31, 2016

“Padfoot gets back from his assignment tomorrow,” Lily tells him, eyes on their calendar.

James pauses in trying to convince his son of the merits of pureed beets. His eyes drift towards the day on the calendar circled in red. Lately, they’ve taken to marking their calendar with the events of their day, if only to make the days seem more distinct. August 27th: ‘At 3 o’clock, Harry said his first full sentence.’ September 12th: ‘At 6 in the morning, the cat brought James a present and left it in his mouth.’ Tomorrow, October 31st, is a rare date that marks the future.

“Good,” he says. “I was hoping he’d be back before his birthday.”

A small, hopeful smile blooms on her lips. “Perhaps we can finally give him a nice celebration. I know Moony is still underground, but Wormy said he’d stay close by. I could bake him a cake.”

“Cake!” says Harry, and James laughs. He takes advantage of his boy’s opened-mouth enthusiasm to give him a spoonful of beets. The look he receives is nothing short of betrayed.

Victorious and still chuckling, James turns back to his wife. “We can ask him to come by as soon as he’s home.”

Baby I’m Trying: The Sequel Pt. 1 - Jan 4, 2017

He wishes his mum were still around, but since she’s not, in his desperation, James consults his neighbour, Batty Bagshot. Though she’s had no children of her own, she’s looked after many of her nieces and nephews over the years, and James has never been more thankful to hear her drone on.

After his conversation with Bathilda, he comes home, arms laden with all the supplies she recommended he find. Sirius’s eyes are wide as James brings the load inside the flat. “Reckon you got enough?”

James slumps over to the floor and leans his head on the pram. “This stuff is only for the first six months,” he says, staring into space. “Do you know how many times a day a baby needs formula? D’you think McGonagall will let me take the baby to class?”

Sirius considers it. “McGonagall does let her cat into the lectures. Although,” he says, wrinkling his nose and holding the baby out to James, “she knows how to use a litter box.”

James wonders if it’s pathetic to google ‘How to change a nappy.’

Baby I’m Trying: The Sequel Pt. 2 - Jan 4, 2017

In three days, James has a paper documenting that the baby is one hundred percent, undeniably his. He hadn’t doubted that he was, but it’s something different to see it on paper. It makes the whole thing more real for him. He sets about telling the rest of his friends, and while they are as surprised as he is, they take it in stride and help him sort it out, as they’ve always done.

“What are you going to name him?” asks Remus.

“Wilberforce,” suggests Sirius, grinning.

James cracks a smile at that. “Maybe something unisex. Elvendork?”

“You’ll have no trouble calling out for him if you ever lose him,” says Peter fairly.

James laughs. The baby fusses a bit in his arms and he runs a hand over the dark mass of hair that is already on this boy’s head. “Could go with a family name,” James says thoughtfully.

“I’m going to take a moment to remind you that your father’s name was Fleamont,” says Remus.

He shakes his head. “My grandfather,” James says.

None of the boys know much about his grandfather, since he died while James was still in primary school, but Sirius lived with his parents for a time, and he knows James better than anyone else. So it is Sirius who asks, “Henry?”

“Harry,” corrects James. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but the baby stops squirming. “His name was Henry, but they called him Harry.”

“Harry Potter,” says Peter. “I like it.”

His son has a name. “Harry Potter,” James repeats quietly.

Ring Out - June 15, 2017

“Frank and Alice are engaged,” Sirius tells him as he slides a drink to James across the table.

James lifts the pint into the air. “Congratulations to them,” he says, and he means it. He knows many couples rushing to the altar these days, but Alice and Frank seem the best-suited for marriage of all of them. He takes a large swig of his firewhiskey.

Sirius raises an eyebrow. It takes no more than this movement for James to know what he will say next. Still, Sirius asks, “When are you going to ask her?”

“What, you reckon because everyone else we know is getting married, I ought to as well?” James asks, mirroring his friend's expression.

Sirius snorts. “No, I reckon that you're horrendously in love with Evans and want to ask her to be your wife.”

James takes another drink. “We're in the middle of a war, Padfoot.”

“Seems to be reason enough for everyone else,” Sirius counters, shrugging.

“Exactly," says James firmly. “I don't want Lily to marry me because she's afraid we're doing to die.”

Sirius pauses, reaching for his own firewhiskey. After a moment, he lowers his glass and shrugs once more. “We might.”

“We might not.” James retorts. He runs a hand through his hair. “I'd rather wait for her to be certain.”

“You're living together," Sirius says, and when James opens his mouth he shakes his head. “You say you live with me but you spend more time at Lily's than you do at ours.”

James chuckles. “So your concern is that we’re living in sin? Talk about glass houses, mate.”

KNB for the fandom ask thing if you’d like to!!

(sorry this took forever, work was crazy this week ;;-;;)

send me a fandom and i’ll tell you…

the first character i ever fell in love with:

Kagami. (I know, right?) I started watching the show when I saw the way he was drawn, and came to really love his character throughout seasons 1 and 2.

Side note: I really only fell in love with Aomine once I saw how he looked in the manga, and got more into his backstory in late season 2/early season 3.

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:

Idk I used to like, unironically like Himuro, and subscribe to canon’s endgame portrayal of him as a harmless nice guy (with no personality to speak of). Now I like him, but like... only in the sense that he can be used narratively, and to comedic effect. I also still like his play style, but I don’t like him like, as a person.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:

I don’t really wanna bash any ship in this show, since the characters are loose (read: underdeveloped) enough for their actual ship dynamics to kinda be up for interpretation.

The one example I can think of, though, for a ship I used to enjoy that now kinda bothers me, is KiKasa. I just don’t see much genuine affection between these two, and yeah I get that people show their love in different ways and all that, and there is definitely something there to work with if you read between the lines, but still... I dunno in canon it mostly seems one-sided at best and antagonistic at worst to me.

my ultimate favorite character™:

...C’mon, you know who it is. The number one spot has to go to Aomine, every time. Someday I’ll write a whole in-depth character study to explain why, but if you want the thesis statement, it’s this: Aomine is the most interesting, developed and multi-faceted character in the entire series, and you can fight me on that.

prettiest character:

If we’re talking manga, then Aomine, but since he looks like a raisin in the anime, I have to give the award to Midorima, with Mibuchi coming in a close second.

my most hated character:

Heh. Uh... funny story, it used to be Hanamiya, or possibly Haizaki, but now I think my hatred for Akashi has actually surpassed them both, because we’re meant to dislike them so at least they serve their most basic function. Whereas Akashi’s arc is so forced and anticlimactic it’s infuriating, and that’s before even getting into his personality.

my OTP:

You know what, it’s still AoKaga. After six fucking years, they still have my heart. If I can bend the rules and slip in an OT3, I’d say AoKagaKuro, but otherwise, if I had to pick one ship, it’s those two idiots with their rival dynamic, interesting chemistry and essential narrative function of pushing each other to get better.

my NOTP:

Like I said, I don’t want to bash any ship, but if I have to pick one that just grinds my gears, it’s AkaKuro. I just... don’t get it. I mean, I get it, I know why it exists, but I don’t get it, you know?

...I dunno, if that’s your cup of tea, more power to ya, but I personally don’t ship it and I don’t think I’m ever going to.

favorite episode:

Episode 37: I Look Forward To It.

Ah, the onsen episode... I know this one by heart.

Okay, I guess I should explain myself, because on the surface this looks like pure empty fan-service (on both sides), but this episode actually has some really great character and plot-related moments. It’s the part I always jump back into when I re-read the manga, because it’s where things really start to kick off. Seirin’s been beaten down and hopeless and finally have their chance at revenge, and they find out in this episode that they’re going to be getting it right away. There’s some really great Seirin and Touou bonding, some more evidence of Momoi being a data-gathering badass (though her actual appearance in this ep bombs the Bechdel test and kinda just rubs me the wrong way).

My favorite part, though, is Aomine and Kuroko’s confrontation in the bath house. I’ve heard someone say once (and I agree) that this episode shows a whole team of naked men (and two naked women) and yet the scene with the most sexual tension has everyone fully clothed. It’s also just a super emotionally-charged moment, full of saying things without saying them, and Kagami showing up to declare Seirin’s intentions of victory is the cherry on top. I love this episode, I’ve probably watched it about a hundred times, but I’d gladly watch it a hundred more and that tells me it’s my favorite.

saddest death:

Himuro’s character development. I mean uh... Kiyoshi’s leg breaking, yeah, that’s totally it. Actually, him leaving at the end of season 3 is really sad, we don’t get many third years retiring in this show but that hit just as hard.

favorite season:

Season 2. It’s where the show kicks into high gear, and the plot really gets rolling. It’s well-paced and exciting up until the middle of the Yousen game, and shows so much awesome development for the characters it introduced in the previous season. Everyone gets some new abilities, but my favorite reveals have to be Kuroko’s Vanishing Drive and Overflow (that moment when Izuki gets “erased” in the Seirin/Touou game lives in my head rent free), and of course the Zone. Season 1 is nice and season 3 has some really iconic moments, but season 2 is great from start to (almost) finish, and that makes it the strongest of the bunch.

least favorite season:

As I said, it has some iconic moments, but KNB’s weakest season by far is its finale. For one thing, it focuses almost entirely on a single game, and so that game drags on forever, beyond the realm of enjoyment until it becomes tedious to get through. Besides that, though, it goes out of its way to introduce plot threads and characters that don’t really go anywhere (Haizaki and Ogiwara come to mind...) the animation budget takes a noticeable beating, and so do the trajectories of two of Season 2′s most interesting antagonists (Himuro and Akashi). The main saving grace of this season is the Teiko arc, but, enjoyable as it is, under a critical eye it’s still a lengthy, pretty unnecessary detour that stops the main narrative dead in its tracks and all but kills the tension for the final game.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate:

Would it be gratuitous to say Akashi, at this point? It’s funny, because I never really liked him, and didn’t understand why so many people did, but I never had any strong opinions about him until recently, when I started looking at his character up close bc I’ve run out of reasons not to. Again, if you like him, that’s totally fine, but I just can’t agree.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:

Uhh... Imayoshi, I think. I don’t know what it is about this guy, but I love him so much. He’s a shit, and he knows it, but he’s also smart, and funny, and kind of just a big dork? Severely underrated character, with a really unique look (I don’t care if he doesn’t have eyes except when he’s pissed, it’s good character design, you guys are just mean).

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:

Oh, Kuroko... sidelined in your own damn show. I’ve heard people argue that Kuroko is not the protagonist of KNB, and in fact it’s Kagami, and just... whether that’s true or not technically, it just makes me sad for Kuroko bc once again he’s being overlooked in favor of other, more flashy characters on screen. Maybe that’s the point, but still, I don’t see this guy get nearly enough attention considering his name is in the fucking title. Kuroko is every bit as valid and interesting as the other GoM, and the other members of Seirin, often even more so, and he deserves all the love.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:

Pretty much anything with Haizaki, but because this is me we’re talking about... AoHai. I used to be interested purely from a hatefucking standpoint, but recently I’ve seen some art and short little ficlets, and... have started to maybe ship it... unironically? Um. Yeah, so that happened.

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:

KiKuro. I don’t think I’ve really talked about them before, I love their backstory and dynamic, and I tend to write them together off on the sidelines, but I’m not very passionate about this one. Maybe because it is often used as a background ship, maybe because they both work better with other people (side tangent: their dynamic instantly becomes more interesting the second you throw a third person in the mix... doesn’t matter who it is either, KiKuroKaga? AoKiKuro? KiKuroMomo? I could go on) Idk. It’s sweet, but I don’t often give this pairing a whole lot of thought on its own, maybe I ought to...

#shin speaks #answered #knb #i can't get into these things without giving long detailed answers anymore can I #side effect of analyzing my favorite show and breaking it down until I barely recognize it I guess #I've got a full essay on the successes and downfalls of KNB coming in a bit #so uh #prepare for that #thanks for asking! I hope this doesn't piss anyone off too much #lmao

love is fatal I calum tattoo artist/ piercer au I part 1

A/N; A new series that has been in the works for almost 2 months! I am clearly a sucker for Cal AU. This is my first time writing in 3rd person & I hope you enjoy this, if there is something you love/hate or stuck out to you tell me! Feedback is my fave. Stay safe and rested; mind, body and soul.

Word count; 3.8k +

Warning; drug mention , swearing, angst

“Do I look okay?” He asked nervously as he was standing in front of his best friend.

Veronica reached over to straighten his tie after she finished paying for the parking meter, “You look handsome. Now stop moving.” She giggled and finished fixing his tie, “Perfect. Grayson you are going to get this job. You interned at a tattoo shop for 2 years and you’re an artist. Your art is literally on my body.” She winked and walked with him towards the tattoo shop he was interviewing for.

“I know but Ronnie, you’re my best friend so of course my art on your body.” He remarked as he walked with her. He stopped in front of the Starbucks, “Can we get some coffee before my interview?”

“You are already jacked with energy without coffee. Plus you’ll get even more jittery.” Veronica expressed hoping they’d get out of the heat sooner rather than later.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair and gave her the puppy eyes she never could resist, “I’ll get decaf. Plus you forgot your water, you need something to drink!”

She shook her head and rolled her eyes playfully, “Let’s go, I won’t deprive you of Starbucks.” She smiled and Grayson opened the door for both of them and Veronica walked in and Grayson followed.

“I don’t know anyone who goes to Starbucks just for Iced Tea and a cake pop, besides you.” Grayson remarked as he walked up to the barista and ordered his Decaf Iced Vanilla Latte, Veronica’s Iced Passion Tea with Lemonade and Cookie Dough cake pop before Veronica could even register he had already paid for it.

She tilted her head and narrowed her eyes at him, “Grayson! I could’ve gotten my drink and cake pop. You didn’t need to pay for it.”

“Oh yes I did, you are giving me a ride for this interview. It’s the least I can do.” He smiled at Veronica and led her to the spot where they picked up their order. They both looked around noticing how busy Starbucks was getting. She looked at him and he looked at her and they both started giggling.

“Thank god we got here when we did!” Veronica cooed as they stood there and waited for their order.

“I know right?” He responded and crossed his arms and before hearing his name and grabbing his coffee and giving Veronica her drink and snack. He grabbed her hand to get themselves through the crowd of people, he opened the door for her as she followed his lead and walked with him.

As Veronica and Grayson got closer to the tattoo shop, Grayson’s grip on Veronica’s hand got tighter and she looked at him and squeezed his hand, “You’re going to do great. I know it.” She encouraged him as he looked at her nervously.

“You sure I don’t look like a complete idiot?” He asked nervously, his cheeks flushing pink.

“I promise you don’t. You got this Gray.” She reassured with a smile on her face, she gently squeezed his hand again. She led him to the tattoo shop and they both were amazed by the size and the huge sign in black and red saying Gotham Tattoos, in the middle of Los Angeles. She finished her drink and threw it in the trash outside before grabbing the door knowing that Grayson was too nervous.

He followed her inside as she led him to the front desk where a blonde curly-haired man with blue eyes sat waiting, he saw them and smiled, showing his dimples and he stood up and Veronica realized Grayson was no longer the tallest man she’s met. “Hi! Welcome to Gotham Tattoos. I’m Luke, what can I help you with?” Luke said with a faint Australian accent.

“I’m Grayson Nicols, I’m here for my interview with Calum.” Grayson explained nervously and Veronica could feel his hands getting sweaty against hers.

“Oh, of course, you are his 12 o clock. I’ll page him and let him know you’re here.” Luke affirmed with a smile and sat down to use the phone.

Grayson looked at Veronica with the look she knew so well, “I believe in you. I know you will kill this.”

Veronica and Grayson heard Luke put the phone down and then he stood up, “He’s ready for you Grayson, I can walk you to his office.” Veronica let go of Grayson’s hand as Luke made his way away from his seat and before he could even leave the desk, another tall man walked up to the desk. His skin was Carmel, he was dressed in black dress pants and a white button-up and tie. He had blonde curls with his black roots showing paired with his dark brown eyes.

“Thank you Luke, I can walk him to my office. Hi Grayson, I’m Calum Hood.” Calum's voice so deep it shocked Veronica, his Australian accent thicker than Luke’s. He outstretched his hand for Grayson.

Grayson shook his hand and said nervously, “That’s me, G-Grayson Nicols.” Veronica giggled at his nervousness and he let go of Calum’s hand.

Calum raised his eyebrow in Veronica’s direction while he pursed his lips, “Thanks for being early, Follow me.” Calum stated as he led Grayson to his office and they disappeared. Veronica smiled at Luke and leaned against the front desk looking around the shop feeling comfortable with her favorite sounds heard only in tattoo shops; the sound of tattoo needles buzzing.

“What’s your name gorgeous?” Luke asked with a smile and Veronica felt her cheeks turn pink

“Veronica, most people call me Ronnie.” She smiled and her cheeks turned even pinker when she looked in his gorgeous blue eyes.

“No one calls you Ronica?” He teased and winked, putting his hand in his pocket as he leaned on the desk.

Veronica couldn’t help but giggle, “Surprisingly, not a soul.” She winked and smiled at him

“Huh, people are weird Ronica.” He smirked and giggled and ran his fingers through his luscious blonde curls.

“Don’t I know it.” She smiled and crossed her arms as she leaned on the counter, “So Luke, you wanna show me around or do I have to give myself a tour and try not to walk into Grayson’s interview?”

Luke chuckled and stepped away from the desk and motioned Veronica, “I can definitely give you a tour, follow me.” He smiled and walked away and Veronica was in awe of his impeccable style as she followed him throughout the shop.

Veronica looked around at the body jewelry, the prominent dark red and deep black artwork mixed with electric blues, “So tell me Luke, what else do you do around the shop?” She felt silly for asking but she was curious.

“Well Veronica, I usually schedule appointments and let customers know how much their deposits are, coordinate rooms and I help clean if I have downtime. I help with payments for tattoos as well” He smiled and her eyes looked up to meet his eyes and Luke showed her one of the empty rooms and Veronica gazed at the walls and how artistic and unique they were. Each room had different color schemes and anesthetic.

“Why is this entire shop decorated better than my entire house?” Veronica joked and smiled at Luke who was laughing at her remark.

“That’s a good question, you’d have to ask Calum and our tattoo artist Ashton about that darlin’.” Luke winked and walked away from the doorway.

Veronica followed him and asked, “Did they design the overall anesthetic to the shop?”

“In some ways yes. The owner is the artistic director for the whole place and tells us what he wants.” He smiled and Veronica noticed she could only hear the music in the shop.

Luke looked at her and smiled, “I’ll be right back, I’m gonna make sure Tucker has everything ready for the payment for the tattoo okay?”

Veronica nodded and smiled, “Okay!” Luke smiled at her and walked away and went over to the desk and Veronica looked around at all the artwork and she smiled when she heard her favorite My Chemical Romance song playing in the background and she smiled and looked around the shop and stopped by the body jewelry.

Her eyes were glued to the barbells, she had been wanting nipple piercings since she turned 15 but her family and Grayson would always argue with her about it. It was always at the back of her mind even when Grayson would remind her how much it would hurt, how long the healing process was or how he didn’t think she’d like them. She checked her watch to see that it was almost 1:15. Time flew by when she was talking to Luke, she looked at the other body jewelry and tried to guess what jewelry went with what piercing without cheating and reading the labels.

She heard Luke’s laugh and smiled instantly. She fidgeted with her rings and the popsocket on the back of her phone before she felt it vibrating in her purse. She looked at her screen and saw Grayson’s name. She unlocked her phone and read his text.

-As you predicted, I got the job. Doing paperwork now!

Veronica squealed softly and looked around for Luke and he disappeared. She went outside to get some fresh air and she immediately regretted it. The heat was overwhelming and she put her sunglasses on to shield her eyes from the blaring sunshine. She felt her sweat dripping down her back as she stood in the sun and leaned on the wall of the shop. She felt her phone vibrate in her hand and it was her boss asking her to come in early if she could. She told her boss she could try her best since she was still out with Grayson.

Veronica put her phone back in her purse and cigarette smoke filled her lungs unwillingly. She turned to see Calum who was leaning against the shop wall with one hand in his pocket.

He looked her up and down and inhaled his cigarette and exhaled in her direction. She tilted her head and rolled her eyes at his immaturity. “What’s got your panties in a twist princess?” Calum coaxed as he leaned toward Veronica, his mysterious eyes seeing right through her soft pink sunglasses frames.

She pressed her lips and rolled her eyes at him, “None of your damn business. Don’t call me princess, you prick.”

He exhaled his cigarette and narrowed his eyes at her, “Who peed in your coffee this morning?” He grunted.

She crossed her arms, “I don’t drink coffee.” She spat and tried to avoid the smoke by moving away from him.

He inhaled his cigarette and blew the smoke in her direction again. She coughed reacting to the smoke hitting her lungs, He rolled his eyes at her overreaction, “Well maybe you should, might put you in a better mood princess.” He emphasized the last word to get under her skin.

“I doubt that. Aren’t you supposed to be in an interview with Gray?” She commented

“He’s finishing up his paperwork, he doesn’t need my help. I needed a break from him talking about you every other sentence.” He stressed before inhaling his cigarette and narrowing his eyes at her.

“He’s my best friend, I’ve known him since I was 10. There’s nothing more to it than that. It’s not your business if it was.” She breathed before he exhaled his cigarette undoubtedly in her direction

“You’re listed as his emergency contact and you drove him here, I think someone is blind to the fact her best friend might be in love with her.” Calum explained and inhaled his cigarette.

“We live together, that’s why. His dad took his car so I drove him. That’s what friends do.” She insisted, sighing from annoyance. She was so tired of people assuming that they were in love with each other.

“I dunno about that princess, that’s something a girlfriend would do.” He breathed as he exhaled his cigarette smoke in her direction.

“Fucking shit,” She coughed and glared at Calum who was smirking, “Would it kill you to blow your smoke in the opposite direction?” Veronica argued before leaning away from him.

“Maybe. Maybe not.” He hummed and winked before Veronica walked away, leaving him outside in the heat to finish his cigarette far away from her. She walked past him and opened the shop door. She took off her sunglasses and smiled instantly when she saw Luke talking to Grayson. She walked up to the front desk and Luke looked at her and smiled.

“There you are! Luke and I thought you got lost!” Grayson mused.

“I was outside talking to my manager and you’re douchebag boss.” She explained and heard the shop door close.

Luke laughed at her comment and Grayson's eyes widened, “Shhh. Are you ready to go?” Grayson asked before Calum walked up to the desk and Veronica glared in his direction.

“Mhmm.” She agreed and grabbed her car keys out of her purse. She looked at Luke and smiled, “It was nice meeting you, thank you for the tour.”

“Of course! It was nice meeting you doll. If you ever want to hang out,” Luke smiled and got out a piece of paper and wrote his number down and smiled at her, “Text me.” He winked and she could feel her cheeks flushing.

“I will! Have a good rest of your day Luke.” She smiled, grabbing the piece of paper from him and tucking it in her pocket.

“Thank you!” He smiles and Veronica and Grayson leave and Calum gives Luke a weird look, “What’s that face for?”

“Why do you wanna hang out with her?” Calum doubted as he ran his fingers through his hair

“I like her, she’s cool.” Luke informed as he shrugged.

“That’s not the word I’d use to describe her.” Calum advised as he looked at the schedule for the rest of the day.

“What’s your point? Honestly Cal, you’ve slept with clients so I don’t exactly trust your judgment on this.” Luke explained as he sat down.

******

Veronica parked in front of Luke’s house and cut the engine of her car. She sighed as she read her most recent text from Caleb, her friends-with-benefits for the past 6 months asking if he could come over tonight. She told him she was busy and put her phone in her hoodie pocket before grabbing her car keys. She got out of her car and closed the door and smiled when she saw Luke standing outside smiling at her as she walked up to the front door.

“Ronica!” Luke joked as he stretched out his arms and she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him and he hugged her tight.

“Lucas!” She joked as she hugged him and he let her go and they both laughed.

“You’re the only person who I let call me Lucas.” He smiled and opened the front door.

“You’re the only person who calls me Ronica.” She smiled and he led her inside of the house. She looked around to see soft white walls with black and white decor, smells of cigarette smoke mixed with sandalwood and vanilla filled the house.

He giggled and turned to look at her, “I still don’t get that.” He winked and he closed the door behind her.

“Me neither, it’s so much better than Ronnie.” She giggled and followed Luke towards the living room. She heard a loud groan and she saw Calum sitting on the couch. She rolled her eyes in response to his obnoxious groan.

“What the fuck is she doing here?” Calum spat as he stood up and crossed his arms while his eyes met hers.

“She has a name and it’s Veronica, asshole.” She spat back as she pursed her lips and she could feel the frustration in her eyes as she looked at Calum.

“Fuck off Cal. I invited her.” Luke interjected and led Veronica down the hallway past the kitchen towards his room. He opened the door and led her inside, “Sorry about him. He’s been weird lately. I think it’s cuz he hasn’t been laid in a couple days.” He smirked and his cheeks turned pink.

Veronica giggled and shook her head, “Probably. Grayson can get that way too.” She turned red and smiled at him.

“Lucky us huh?” He chuckled and grabbed his phone, “Shall we order pizza and turn on Netflix?”

“Sounds perfect. I’ll eat any kind of pizza as long as there aren’t any anchovies, mushrooms or spinach.” She smiled and sat down on Luke’s giant bean bag.

“Who actually eats pizza with that shit on it?” He narrowed his eyes and smiled and got on Domino’s website and started ordering pizza, “Do you want those bomb Parmesan twists?”

She nodded and smiled, “Hell yes.” He finished the order and put his phone down to grab the remote and turn on his T.V and get on Netflix.

He plopped on his king size bed and looked at Veronica and motioned her, “C'mere. There’s no need for you to be sitting all the way over there.”

She giggled and got off the bean bag and walked over to his bed, “I didn’t want to assume and just climb on your bed!”

“Well it’s definitely big enough for the both of us.” He smirked and winked as he moved over to make room for her. She climbed on the bed and scooted closer to him and he started to look through Netflix.

“Why do you always smell so good?” She smiled and inched closer to get a better smell, “I don’t know anyone who smells as good as you.”

“I mix two colognes.” He smiled and looked through T.V shows.

Veronica smiled and looked at the t.v and recognized her two favorite T.V shows, “We could watch American Horror Story or Orange is The New Black!” She recommended

“I’ve never seen American Horror Story, which season should we watch?” He smiled and tilted his head.

“Asylum, Coven or Freak Show.” She smiled and he looked through the seasons and clicked on Coven and she smiled at his choice.

Luke's energy started to drain and he laid his head on her lap and she ran her fingers through his curls and gently massaged his scalp. Halfway through the first episode, Luke almost fell asleep in her lap and he decided to sit up. He randomly would check his phone and check updates on their order. When the pizza was getting delivered Luke left the room to wait and Veronica paused the show and waited for Luke. She checked her phone to get another text from Caleb and she ignored it. She usually would text him back but this was different. She told him she was busy and he didn’t leave her alone like he usually did. This was the second time in a week he was texting her about coming over, weirdly both times she was with Luke and she wanted to hang out with him verses someone who gave her mediocre sex.

The door swung open and Luke smiled as he brought in two pizzas and their Parmesan twists. “Finaaally! I’m gonna set this down and then get us plates and drinks.”

“I could help Lukey!” She insisted and got off the couch with her phone in her hand and grabbed the pizza’s and set them on the bed and he smiled.

“Thank you, follow me to the kitchen so we can get some drinks!” He mentioned and she followed him and they grabbed some plates and Luke offered her drinks ranging from cranberry juice to tequila. They both grabbed Coke’s and went back into his room.

Luke and Veronica sat on his bed and ate their pizza and watched American Horror Story until Luke wanted to watch a scary movie. Veronica knew almost every scary movie on Netflix, they decided to watch The Ritual since neither of them have seen it. Once they finished the pizza they moved the empty boxes off the bed to make more room for them.

Veronica felt her phone vibrate again and she groaned and Luke looked at her and narrowed his eyes, “Are you okay?” He paused the movie to see what was going on.

“My friend-with-benefits Caleb is driving me crazy. He hasn’t seen me since Sunday and he’s impatient.” She sighed and looked in his eyes.

“Damn, usually it’s the other way around.” He grabbed her phone and set it on his night stand, “Now you won’t get tempted to text him back, horny bastard.” He chuckled.

“God I know right? Where’s the bathroom? I should pee while the movie is paused.” She explained and smiled at him.

“Down the hall to the left.” He smiled and got off the bed so she could get off easier.

“Thank you! I will be right back.” She smiled and climbed off the bed and walked towards the door and opened it.

“I’ll be here darlin’” He smiled and crossed his arms. She walked out of the doorway and walked trying to figure out which room it could be.

There were three doors on the left side of the hall and all of the doors were closed. She slowly stepped closer to the first door and put her hand on the handle and slowly opened it, realizing it’s the laundry room. She closed the door and walked towards the second one slowly and before she could reach the door handle she heard sounds she somewhat recognized, in a way she wasn’t expecting to hear tonight. Bed creaking and the bed frame hitting the wall repeatedly. As she got closer to the door it became clearer what was going on, the loud moans and unfamiliar voice saying Calum’s name confirmed her suspicions. She quickly walked away from the door trying to ignore what she just overheard. She opened the last door and sighed in relief when she saw that she finally found the bathroom.

She stepped inside and quickly closed the door and turned on the light and went to the bathroom. Once she finished she washed her hands and then put her hair up in a messy bun. She flattened her hoodie and shrugged her shoulders. She turned off the light and opened the door. She saw a girl with jet black hair walking towards her wearing the shirt Calum was wearing when she saw him earlier. Veronica failed to avoid eye contact with the other girl as she got closer to her. Her green eyes caught Veronica’s hazel eyes and she narrowed her eyes at her as the other girl stopped when she was side by side to Veronica. The strange smell of cologne blended with a fruity perfume made Veronica cough when it engulfed her lungs while her olive green eyes met Veronica’s as she gulped in response.
