Giving the boys your scrunchie | hc

A/N: is this a thing anymore? It was when i was in school but that was a hot minute ago. trends go so fast lol

not proof read

if this is just an american thing or just something my school did, I'll explain. People(mostly girls) would give their s/o a scrunchie and it was pretty much saying "this (boy/girl/they/them) is mine!!" :)

warnings: suggestive themes from natsuo bc i love him

izuku, shoto, katsuki, eijiro, denki, hitoshi, natsuo, shouta

Izuku Midoriya (all might)

read his here!

Shoto Todoroki (white)

*sigh* this boy

he's crushing on u but won't make a move

you're crushing on him but won't make a move

you weren't trying anything

you just wanted to wash your hands for lunch

"todo hold this, I'll be right back."

he LOVES when you use a nickname on him

"Okay"

the usual squad is sitting at the table.'

then Mina walks by

"Oh~ and whos scrunchie is that todoroki?"

"(L/n)'s"

"I didn't know she had guts like that."

everyone at the tables like "???"

"That's basically a wedding ring on a guy."

"congratulations todoroki." Iida's responce.

Midiyoria's all like "That's great Todoroki! I'm glad you finally got together.

Todoroki expression stays the same.

"Thank you"

on the inside he's like 'I just thought she didn't want to get it wet.'

this is the real story

you come back and everyones looking at you.

"Guys, someone just asked me out in the hallway."

"what??"

"Good thing I don't have to worry about that anymore."

everyone blushes and you're digging into lunch

you said this because you don't have a problem turning down people anymore.

Todoroki's starring at you the whole lunch <3

"(L/n), you can call me shoto."

"???" you choke

"okay? um you can call me (y/n)."

later in the day you are walking home next to him when you realize he still has your scuniche on

"Oh sorry shoto, you can give me the scrunchie back."

"Why? What did I do?"

"What?"

"You want to divorce me?"

"...what?"

you sort everything out after a long talk.

"But I mean if you want to keep it, I don't mind Shoto"

He will, until y'all trade it out for real rings :)

Katsuki Bakugo (black/orange)

This one is difficult

I think y'all have to be dating first

"Kat can you wear this?"

"Why the hell should I do that?"

"Um, bc i want you too."

"no"

your gonna have to wrestle to get it on him

*panting* "now was that so hard?"

"tsk" *grumpy pomeranian*

but he doesn't take it off <3

of course the bakusquad notices

"Omg! that is so cute bakugo!" -mina

"the beast is tamned yet again" -denki

"very manly bakubro" -kiri

"how did she even find one with your colors?" -sero

bc you made it

hours behind a sewing machine

"SHUT THE HELL UP EXTRAS"

"i think its cute kachan"

"FUCK OFF DEKU"

cue bakugos quirk

he burns the scrunchie

he's like "...fuck"

hides from you

he can't find it online bc you made it

"here"

throws a scrunchie on your desk

"?"

"omg katsuki 😍"

"Shut up, down think about it too much"

"okayyy, wait where's the one i gave you?"

"...shit"

Eijiro Kirishima (red)

"hey kiri put this on."

"um okay why?"

"it is the new must have for manly people

"(y/n) you want to sit with me at lunch?"

"oh I'll carry your bag for you."

"don't forget to stay hydrated"

what a lovely guy

"so just wondering, my scrunchie worked?"

he's like "?"

so you explain what the scrunchie means

and he laughs

"you could have just said something"

"but we're dating right?"

"i thought so."

"well we never actually said anything"

"oh"

right skipped a step

"well then will you be my s/o?"

"of course"

and that is yalls story <3

Denki Kaminari (yellow)

he comes to you

"give me one of your scrunchies"

"...okay?"

"your favorite one."

"no"

"what??"

"It's may favorite bc i wear it, if you have it i cant wear it"

"but babeeeee"

"omg shut up fine."

"its yellow?? that's totally bc of me rihgt? you wear it bc it reminds you of me?"

"sure thats why."

"<3"

it was really on sale but why break his heart

is flaunting it around the next day

"oh this? yeah it's just my s/o's scrunchie"

"Kaminari literally no one cares." -mina

"What? everyone should care! not only am i off the market, but they also love me sooo much they want the whole world to know Im theirs."

"you came and asked me for one"

"(Y/n) how you just gonna spill my secrets like that? Whatever happened to us against the world?"

"eat or be eaten babe."

Hitoshi Shinso (purple)

you saw it on tiktok

thank you internet

"hey shin, keep this safe for me"

you say handing him the purple scrunchie

he smirks "sure"

he's also seen it on tiktok

but who is he to shut you down when your finally making a move

brings you a sweatshirt of his the next day

"keep this safe for me"

he ain't never seen someone turn red so fast

but you still grab it and put it on.

"oh so your finally dating (Y/n)? about time" denki says.

technically no, so he pulls you aside before training

"we're dating now?" he asks

"is this a question or a statement?"

"mutual agreement?"

"okay"

he smiles and grabs your hand, if the hoodie and scrunchie didn't say y'all were dating, walking down the hallways together would.

Natsuo Todoroki (blue)

this is 100% on purpose

in your eyes this was his collar

you wouldn't say that though

just a cute "aw this matches your hair" slipping it on his hand

his heart

i mean anything you do that shows him you think of him melts his very soul

love deprived bby 🥺

he's never taking it off

wait until he hears what Fuyumi says about

she looks at it and laughs

"What?"

I see that (y/n) has taken it to the next level"

"??"

when she explains what it means

he swears he has a fire quirk after she tells him bc he is RED

loves it <3

comes home

"oh (y/n)~" he sings

your scrolling on your phone as he plops next to you

"Natsuo~"

he runs his hands across your body

"if your gonna put a ring on it you should at least propose properly"

you look up confused, then see him holding up his wrist

you laugh

"I didn't think you'd find out so soon, i'm just trying to tell all the leeches in your class that there's no chance"

"that's so hot"

he leans over you

"my turn" he says before abusing your neck, leaving plenty of evidence that you're taken behind.

Shouta Aizawa (black)

put it on him while he was sleeping

"what is this?"

"a present <3"

doesn't really mind it until he gets to class

"wow Aizawa your (s/o) doesn't mess around huh?"

"aw i think its cute"

"slay aizawa"

"what the hell are you guys tslking about? shut up and work."

then he goes the his desk

"Shouta, I see (Y/n)'s got you whipped" hizashi comments

"why do people keep talking about (Y/n)?"

he explains what the scrunchie means.

"*sighs* i should of know they had hidden intentions."

but he doesn't take it off, even with the students whispering about it in the halls

"I didn't know Aizawa was taken."

"man and i was gonna shoot my shot after graduation."

then he gets home

"Welcome home, how was work?"

"annoying, all because of your little schemes"

"what? me? scheming? I would never, that is so beneath me."

"😑"

"...did it work?"

"yes"

"good"

asks are open :)

Hey! Absolutely love your art, such fun things depicted gorgeously! I was scrolling through all your old art, and you've progressed so amazingly-- are you an art school student or is there anything you did to get so good? (besides draw loads of course, lol). I really like how strong your personal voice is, it feel like you draw the stuff you really like and I just love that about your art. (Also your colors are so nice I want to eat your art thanks i hope u have a nice day)

Thank you so much! The answer to that question is kind of a yes and no, more below:

I decided partway through my first year of college to pursue art instead of biology, but the college I was at didn't have much in the way of art programs so I cobbled together an independent concept art major out of classes in film, fashion, and visual studies.

It was a pretty makeshift way to go about it, and probably not the best way to get an art education, but I'm glad I did it since it also gave me the opportunity to take classes in astronomy, computer programming, evolutionary biology, linguistics, and other subjects that I find interesting.

The best thing I did for my artistic development in undergrad was to take summer classes and a gap semester at the Concept Design Academy in Pasadena. It's the kind of school where instead of applying to and enrolling in a multi-year program, you pay for the individual classes you want each semester and show up. I would absolutely recommend it (they offer online classes now too) over going to an art school. It's a fraction of the cost (around $800 per class) for basically the same quality of instruction.

I went to figure drawing workshops at ArtCenter occasionally and I overheard even their students talking about how CDA had instruction that was just as good as ArtCenter's for far cheaper. And basically every artist I've heard talk about the subject of "is art school worth it" nowadays has said that the answer is no.

Since graduating I've continued to take online courses from CDA, Brainstorm School, and also artists offering their own independent classes like Kat Tsai and Zac Retz.

So that's the path I've been on so far! One of the many pieces of good advice I got from one of my instructors, Scott Flanders, was to be honest with yourself about what you like and why you like it and to honor that when you design. So it's encouraging to hear that it's coming through in my work!

can you write something with the Megara oc?

You're in luck! My Megara inspired Yuu actually has lots of lore!

Here's an illustration of her dynamic with Idia Shroud provided by the lovely @cozymochi

My fic is under read more, but you can also read it on AO3!

“Why do you want me to talk to this boy so badly?” Katerina asked, reclining on her dormitory couch, long ponytail hanging off the end.

Idia sat awkwardly at the seat across from her, all scrunched up yet still finding room to be baffled at her inquiry.

“Look at me!” He gestured to himself as if it was obvious.

When all he got was a raised eyebrow, he reiterated, “I’m not great with face-to-face confrontations. Last I talked to him, he threatened me with a baton. But, Kat, you have to see him. He’s an entirely different person once you get past the ‘scary guard’ thing.”

“You sure he’s not trying to lull you into a false sense of security so he can whack you with his baton?” Katerina teased sarcastically.

“No, but don’t put that in the universe!” Idia retorted, “I’m not asking for anything complicated. Just scope him out! Maybe you can get an online game account out of him; he says his dad plays.”

“Send your brother to do it.”

“Ortho is a good boy! And I don’t want to set him up for what is basically super personal info-gathering. It’d be too obvious if it was him anyway.” Idia snapped.

Ortho was much more of the mischievous prying type than Idia seemed aware of, or at least wanted to acknowledge. Still, seeing him this perturbed over some boy she’s never heard of before must mean something.

“I hooked you up with all of the lasted Twisted Wonderland consoles, visual novels, and anime. You owe me two grand in favors.” Idia got strangely threatening, pointing an accusatory finger in her direction.

“Hey, you chose to do that!” Katerina snapped back at him, rising up from her lounging position. “You were begging me to check all those things out!”

“Doesn’t matter; you’ll change your mind when you see him. “He’s easy to find. Usually somewhere on campus, silver hair, beautiful eyes,” Idia replied. “I’ll throw in whatever extra perks you want. You want Pay-Per-Routes? You got it.”

“You just threatened me with that. Look, fine, I’ll meet this guy, but don’t expect the conversation to be very long.” Kat gave in, heaving herself up and throwing on her jacket from the side.

“You’re a smooth-talker, much more endearing than I can manage. You’ll do fine.” Idia told her.

“By the way, I probably wouldn’t stay in that seat too long. As soon as Grim wakes up and sees you in his spot, he won’t shut up about it.” Kat warned, or rather teased, with a flip of her hair.

It didn’t do much. Idia loved Grim just for being a cat, so chances were he would stick around until she finished her task.

She wasn’t sure exactly how easy this person was to find. His description sounded more like lovestruck rambling than anything actually concrete.

A quick walk across campus to the hall of mirrors was terrible when she was alone because when she didn’t have her friend at either side of her, people stared.

Granted, they always stared, but they did so more noticeably when she was alone.

They would turn their heads to look at her each time. They’d whip around and gawk in place. She was the only girl on campus, and they were both in awe and shocked by her being there, and she hated all of it.

If this person hadn’t heard of her sudden arrival to this school, then they’d be just as surprised. She’d have to do the whole song and dance all over again. He would dumbly declare her as a girl, then be bothered by her mere presence or try to ask her out.

A soft vocalization caught her ears, followed by the most tender lyrics.

‘No way,’ Kat thought, ‘there’s no way that’s the guy.’

She followed the voice out of curiosity, and if she saw any of the vague physical description given to her, she would never question Idia’s weirdness ever again…Or rather, she wouldn’t question it too harshly.

“I wonder, I wonder…I wonder why each little bird has a someone~”

A boy with strikingly silver hair stretched his arms and legs with ease, seemingly going through some workout routine while singing gently.

Perching on the tips of his fingers were small little blue birds. They twittered along with his melodic humming. It was unbelievable; she was literally at a loss for words.

“To sing to, sweet things to…A gay little love melody~” he continued, bringing the hand with the birds closer to his face.

Almost comedically, Kat stepped forward and conveniently broke a twig under her boot. A loud snap interrupted the boy’s song, and he quickly drew a baton out from under him and pointed it in her direction.

She threw her hands up to show that she meant no harm, and the boy dropped his defenses immediately.

“Oh, hello, I’m sorry about that. You startled me.” The boy apologized.

“No problem. What, uh, what are you doing?” She asked, stepping closer.

“I was about to train. I was doing some stretches first.” He explained

“While singing to a bunch of birds?” She questioned bluntly, hands on her hips.

The boy fell silent and looked blankly back at her. Apparently he was in thought because he gave her a half-hearted answer when he spoke up again. “Yes, I suppose so.”

“You suppose so…” she repeated.

‘Is this wonderboy for real?’ She thought to herself, ‘this has to be an act. No guy, especially at this school, sings to animals like he’s some kind of fairytale princess.’

“You wouldn’t happen to be named Silver, would you?”

“That is my name!” Silver exclaimed with innocent surprise, “What’s yours?”

“Katerina Vallis. My friends call me Kat, though.” She held her hand out to shake.

Silver looked at it like he didn’t know what she was doing, so she met him halfway and grabbed his hand in a tight shake.

“Would you prefer if I call you Kat, then?” He asked permission.

His entire demeanor endlessly confused her, and she fought hard against herself to find it endearing.

“Sure, wonderboy, knock yourself out.”

The birds that fled when she surprised him flew back, handing on his shoulders and head. “I don’t believe I’ve met you before until now…Or,” Silver narrowed his eyes at her as if inspecting her all over, Katerina crossed her arms, “Have I?”

“We’ve never met,” Katerina explained, it seemed obvious, but somehow this was the strangest boy she’s come across so far. “A little bird told me about you.”

Silver looked inquisitively at his bird friends. He brought a hand out and the birds obediently landed on his wrist and fingers. “Have you, now?”

“Not a literal bird- Ah, whatever,” Katerina replied, “Do you play video games…Or something?”

“I do; I’m not very good at them though,” Silver answered. It was extremely easy, no strings attached.

Silver didn’t seem to notice that Kat was very clearly an outsider at this school. Kat was beginning to think that he couldn’t even tell she was a ‘she.’ But it was a nice change of pace to talk without having to deal with the usual reactions and questions.

“Mind exchanging account info? For the little bird?” She asked.

“Of course, though, I don’t know if a bird would be very good at playing video games either.” Silver agreed, still misguided, but he had the spirit. “I only really play games with my father, and even then, I usually fall asleep before I can finish. Do you play games?”

“Yeah, I dabble,” Kat said.

She lied. She was knee-deep in inter-dimensional visual novels that she’s never seen before until getting trapped here. Without her parents there to chide her for not focusing more on sports and photoshoots, she could indulge in all of her fantasies. She could become the girl who has friends and falls in love in all of these games Idia supplied her with.

Those fantasies came with a cost. Now she had to act as a gopher.

“If only I had a pen and paper…” Silver mused.

“You can just tell me, and I’ll type it on my phone.” She offered.

Suddenly, a little rabbit and squirrel hopped up to them, one holding a pen and one holding a paper. How the hell those animals even got those items that fast and how they knew exactly what Silver wanted? Katerina didn’t know. She had a hard time believing what she was seeing.

“Thank you,” Silver patted their little heads and took their items.

He wrote down his online name and handed it to her. He wrote in very neat cursive, “here you are.”

He had a very creative name…Silver515.

“Thanks…” she said, and that was that, “I’ll see you around.”

Silver yawned and covered his mouth with his hand before giving her a friendly goodbye. He pulled his baton back up and swung it around with clear precision. It reminded her of her fencing practice, where she would fight some invisible enemy with all of her might.

She lingered there, silently wondering why she hadn’t left. Then, she spoke up.

“Do you have a second baton?” She asked.

“Oh, yes, actually. Sebek was here with me earlier, but he left to chase after our liege. Guard duties and all.” Silver explained, pulling out his spare baton hidden underneath a group of spectating animals.

He handed it to her, and she took it. She expected him to toss it, but it was a gentle handoff.

“But not you?” Katerina questioned.

“Malleus enjoys taking walks alone. I prefer to leave him be if he wants it.” Silver responded as a matter of fact.

“That’s very considerate.” Katerina complemented before getting into position.

The baton was shorter and stockier than the fencing sword she used, but he held it with as much grace as possible and prepared Silver for her first move, “En-garde!”

Silver copied her motion as if he too had been fencing his whole life, and the two tried to jab each other’s chest.

They had to get closer to each other to nail the hit.

Katerina got an up-close look at Silver’s unique eyes. Idia was not kidding when he described them as beautiful. They were a mix of blue, purple, and pink, all swirled together like a sunrise. It was enough to distract her and leave her open, Silver jabbed the baton into her, and she staggered backward.

It was a momentary stumble, however, as she leaped back up and returned the jab. By the rule of fencing, there was one turn left, and Katerina backed up to dodge the hits before trying to jab again.

Silver overpowered her easily. It was enthralling to meet a match after years of her being used as her fencing team’s secret weapon back in her original dimension. His form was a lot more offensive than Katerina’s strategic one.

If she didn’t know any better, she would’ve guessed he was trained to fight for real instead of for sport.

Eventually, they both felt satisfied with their spar and dropped to the grass. Despite all the energy he displayed before, his head swayed, and his body lay slack with drowsiness against a tree beside her.

“Your form is excellent. You have quite a talent.” Silver complimented, speech slow but sincere.

“Thanks. I’ve been fencing since I was a kid, along with other imposed hobbies.” She replied.

“That’s quite a coincidence because I’ve trained with the sword since I was a child too.” Silver added. “Would you be interested in training with me again?”

Katerina was about to say ‘yes’ when her phone buzzed. She pulled it out and took a quick look at the text.

Idia: WHERE R U?? Did u find him? Sometimes he sleeps on the ground on campus, but that could be anywhere-

Katerina rolled her eyes and put the phone down. She’d get to him in a minute.

“Yeah, I’d love- I mean-“ Katerina fumbled, but thankfully it wasn’t noticed at all. “Oh.”

In only a matter of seconds, Silver was fast asleep.

All of the quirks that Idia had described to her were a reality. It was stranger than anything she had experienced so far in this strange world, and even stranger than befriending a talking cat monster, was this boy who came straight out of a fairytale.

She had his gaming account info…So she could give him her answer there.

Katerina left to her self-proclaimed master to report what she had found. She definitely found a lot more than what she expected to find.

dropping more tsukasa kanade lore guys >>>

i think that after kanade has the initial tsukasa jumpscare they start to get along well but like. kanade talks to think man because even though she goes to the same school as mizuki GUESS WHO NEVER FUCKING ATTENDS !!! and once she talks to tsukasa long enough she's introduced to rui and nene by being invited to ★★★ SUPER COOL EAT-LUNCH-ON-THE-ROOF TIME [kool kats only ★★] ★★★ and kanade sits down like "okay. these people seem calm. theyre probably normal. i think. i can do this :]" and then emu. climbs onto the roof. and kanade thinks "OHFUCKOHSHIT NEVERMIND NEVERMINDNEVERMIND"

so they eat lunch and kanade is introduced to tsukasa's not boyfriend, tsukasa's not girlfriend and tsukasa's not girlfriend. and they have a good time !!! kanade gets along well with nene, but also doesn't because i think the two of them are the equivalent of the "shy people vs introverts" meme. rui is fun but kanade cannot understand that man for the life of herself. and. emu. so ironically tsukasa is the one she gets along with most.

so they hang out and also i think that kanade has tsukasa look over her compositions and has probably gotten him to play an actual piano bit for one of nightcord's songs. idk which you just gotta trust me. and one day kanade comes to their daily meet up thing which happens in the park because silly and tsukasa isn't doing his usual thing. bc when she usually comes tsukasa is happy and smiling like :D :D :D and helping out little kids on the playground equipment but this time nobody's here and he's just. off. and kanade can feel The Vibes but she goes over anyways. and she sees him and he sees her and suddenly he's happy again but this time it's all wrong. and she leaves and goes back home and she thinks back and realizes how Wrong all their interactions had felt. but at the same time it didn't. and she's trying to make sense of all this and talks to nightcord about it because who else would she talk to ??? and general consensus is "make discord server with him" so that's what she does. yes this results in silly tsukasa uses discord for the first time shenanigans. and they all start talking !!! ofc she introduces mizuki as mizuki but mafuyu and ena are left as "my online friends enanan and yuki"

tsukasa ends up inviting rui nene and emu because WHO ELSE ??? and rui dms kanade like "okay i know why you did this but we. are getting nothing out of this. also is yuki mafuyu from the all girls school that emu goes to ???" also SIDE PLOT with emu not feeling creeped out around yuki like she is mafuyu. just wanted to mention. anyways rui is like "i know who you are" and kanade is like "help me help you help your bf (boy best friend)" and idk how but eventually tsukasa just. breaks down.

it's not even anything special he's just in a discord vc w everyone and they start talking about fun things they did as children and tsukasa realizes he can't even remember talking to his parents unless it was over the phone and he just. goes quiet !!! and that's not normal because tsukasa is never quiet so everyone is just a teeny weeny bit worried. and then they hear this man. CRYING ???

so of COURSIES they all meet up in the empty sekai bc we love sekai mashups !!! and idk from there tbh im just bein silly atp

Levi smiled as you bounced up and down on the spot. “You’re excited.”

You clapped your hands in delight. “I am!”

He hummed a laugh. “Good.” He offered his hand. “Come on.”

You grabbed it and walked with him out of the house. You swung your hand with him as you felt giddy. You and Levi were going to the rugby pitch to train some cute little kids from a local school. You were coming along because you were making drinks and food. Plus, you wanted to help out and Erwin asked you to be an extra pair of hands and he had asked his girlfriend to help too.

You gasped when you saw Erwin’s girlfriend squeezing Erwin’s pecs with a delighted smile on her face. You squealed in delight and waved to her. You laughed as she waved back to you. “She’s living her best life.”

Levi hummed. “Do girls like men’s pecs a lot?”

You nodded and reached over and squeezed Levi’s. “Lovely boobies.”

Levi sighed and placed your hands against his pecs. “Pecs, my darling bunny, pecs.”

You leaned up a little so your lips were close to his. “Bear.”

He purred in response. “Yes, bunny?”

“Kiss please.”

He hummed a laugh and kissed you. “Be a good girl today, okay?”

You nodded. “I will be very good!”

“I’ll reward you later.”

You grinned. “Awesome.” You kissed Levi as the kids arrived. “Good luck.”

Levi hummed a little. “Thanks.”

You watched him hurry over to Erwin and the kids. You smiled softly at how much the kids liked Levi and he was so kind and sweet with them. Your heart fluttered as he played with them and taught his little group. You let out a long sigh as you felt a tingle inside you, a longing for something. You blushed when he glanced over at you. You tore your eyes from Levi and started working with Erwin’s girlfriend and made drinks and snacks for the kids.

You sat down and drank tea with your friend. “How is your art project coming along?”

Kat unzipped her bag and pulled out her tablet. “I’ll show you.”

You leaned over and looked at the work. “Erwin is your inspiration?”

“Yes.” She blushed a little. “I can’t help it.”

“He looks amazing as a knight.”

She hummed a laugh. “You’re too kind.” She started adding more to the piece. “I just love him a lot and he’s so inspiring to me.”

You bumped into her a little. “You’re going to pass with flying colours. I feel it in my bones.”

Kat chuckled. “You and Erwin have wonderful faith in me. Thank you.”

You looked over to the pitch and felt a heart spread through your chest. “Look at them. They’re so good with the kids.”

Kat looked over at her boyfriend Erwin lifting a kid and making them laugh. “He’s so handsome. We’re so lucky to have them.”

You nodded as you felt raced in your chest. “Oh, has Erwin talked to you about the business plans more?”

“Yes. I’m really proud of them for their plans.” She sighed. “I just worry about them. It’s going to be a lot of hard work for them.”

You hummed in agreement. “I’ve offered to work and raise money, but Levi’s said no to a few ideas I’ve had.”

“Let me guess, you offered to work two jobs?”

You blushed a little. “He rat me out?”

Kat giggled. “No, I just know you.” She rubbed your back. “You do too much. Erwin’s already had the chat with me too. He’s asked me to just be happy and work a normal job. I’ve been designing things and selling them online. I do art commissions and sell stickers too.” She released a long sigh. “Anything to help.”

You fiddled with your coat. “I wish I could do something like that.”

“You’re very talented. You could do anything to get some cash.” She pointed at you. “Nothing naughty.”

You laughed at her comment. “I would never. I’ll think of something. We’ve been through so much recently, so we’re trying to make the most of the time we have as a couple.”

“You’ve been through a lot of shit. They say University you go through a lot, but you two have been through too much.”

You released a long sigh. “You’re right. It’s so tiring.” You put your head in your hands. “I need to rest. I need to put a pause on everything.”

“Oh, bless you.”

You sat up and put on a brave face. “Kids are here. Let’s hand out drinks and food.”

Kat hummed as she studied you. She stood at your side and handed out food before slipping away for a moment and approaching Levi. “Can we talk?”

Levi finished downing his water. “Sure.”

She pulled him to the side and said your name. “I’m worried about her. She seems to be smiling and happy, but she’s drained. She’s done, Levi.”

Levi went white. “D-Done?”

“She’s mentally exhausted. I saw her mask slip. You both need to either get away from here or have a week of not doing shit.”

“Do…do you think…she’ll leave me?”

Kat smiled at Levi’s sad doe eyes. “No, you goofball.” She laughed at him. “She will never leave you. Fuck, she loves you more than anything. The way she talks about you and looks at you is so adorable. You’re everything to her and you’re keeping her sane.” She let out a long sigh. “I’m just saying that her mental health has been beaten a little. She loves you. She trusts you. She wants to be with you. She just needs a fucking break from the world around her. Maybe you two just cancel plans for a week and relax together or you go off somewhere.”

Levi gazed at you and felt himself blushing as he watched you talk and play with the kids. His heart fluttered at seeing you as a mother. “She deserves the world. Thank you for telling me about this.”

“Before you say anything to her, she didn’t tell you because I don’t think she knows herself how unwell she is. Plus, she wants to keep you happy. So, don’t lay into her.”

“I promise. Thanks.” He strode over to you and wrapped his arm around your waist. He yanked you against him and kissed you before you could question him. He smiled as the kids squealed and giggled. He released your lips and smiled at you. “I love you. You’re so amazing and you work so hard.”

You blushed a little. “Th-thank you. Uh…I love you too. I love you a lot. You’re pretty incredible yourself.” You cleared your throat and whispered. “The kids are staring.”

He released you. “Sorry.” He smiled a little. “We should cancel a lot of our plans and have a week off. We’ll stay at home, cuddle a lot and play video games.” He blushed hard. “I was thinking maybe we play Minecraft and we make a little home for me and you.” He pouted a little. “Make a farm.”

You giggled at his sweet suggestion. “Yes. I love that idea.”

“Great! I’ll finish up here and then we’ll head home. I’m also thinking we’ll nap together too. You need to rest.”

You blushed hard and nodded. “Yes.”

He leaned closer and kissed you. “I love you so much.”

You lightly touched your lips. “I love you forever and more.”

Levi squeezed you. “I’ll be back in a bit. Time to train some kids.”

You waved shyly to Levi as he ran off to train with the kids. You smiled at how good he looked. You blushed and began tidying up after the kids with Kat’s help. You laughed and cuddled up to Kat under a blanket as you both watched your men finish playing. You clapped for them and watched them clean up and let others go. Only Levi and Erwin were left.

Erwin threw the ball up and down. “I have an idea.”

Levi frowned. “What is it.”

He smiled and looked over at you and Kat. “Boys vs girls. You two have watched us play all the time, so you know the rules.”

Kat gasped. “That’s not fair! How are we supposed to tackle you to the ground, huh?”

Erwin walked over to Kat before leaning over so his lips almost touched hers. “I think you can manage, kitten.”

You snorted a laugh. “Interesting.”

Levi crouched in front of you and leaned on your thighs. “So? You wanna play?”

You cupped Levi’s face. “You just want me to tackle you.”

He smiled as you wiggled his face. “Maybe I want to tackle you.”

You blushed. “Oh.”

He chuckled and stood up. “Come on then.”

You pulled your coat off and jogged to the pitch with Levi. “I think I can do this.”

“I believe in you.”

Erwin threw the ball up and down. “It’ll be a bit of fun.”

Kat pouted. “Sounds like our men want to be perverts.”

You giggled because you knew Kat was right. “Perverts.”

Erwin put the ball down and backed up. “We’ll run to it. I’ll count down.”

You stood ready and ran for the ball at the end of the count. Levi grabbed it easily and ran past you and Kat. You both chased after him, but he was too fast. You pouted as he scored a try and smiled at you. You growled a bit when he jogged back and placed the ball in the middle again. He did the same thing meaning you and Kat were just going to lose. So, you had a plan.

You huffed and yanked your shirt off. “Time to play dirty.”

Levi went bright red. “B-Bunny?”

You ran and grabbed the ball before racing to the end and scoring. “I did it!”

Kat clapped her hands. “Yay! Booby magic!” She yanked her shirt off. “Prepare to lose boys!”

Erwin stared at his girlfriend’s chest. “Boobs…”

“Easy win now.”

You ran around with Kat away from your men and scored a few tries against them because they were so distracted, but Levi was the one that slightly snapped out of it. He didn’t overcome the fact he saw boobs but just became hungry for them. You scored a try but Levi kept running towards you. You screamed and ran away but he chased you down and grabbed you. You squeaked as he tackled you down to the ground and pinned you.

You blushed and moaned as he pressed his sweaty body in his tight rugby clothes against you. “Le-Levi.”

Levi panted then blushed. “Ah, I believe I have committed an error. If this was an official match I’d be in big trouble.”

You giggled under him. “You would.”

“And now I’ve gotten you all muddy.”

“That’s okay. We can have a shower together.” He looked over at Kat to see Erwin had caught her and was kissing her. “Besides, I think those two lovebirds wanna go back now.”

Levi glanced over at Erwin and smiled. “Yeah.” He looked back at you. “Let’s go.”

You lay in Levi’s arms as he played a game on your shared console. You smiled softly at him fighting a boss. You were so proud of how well he was doing in the game. You turned your head and leaned up before kissing under Levi’s chin. You giggled as he blushed hard at your actions and fumbled with his controller. You smiled as Levi kissed your temple and hummed in happiness.

Levi smiled against your temple and began singing softly to you. You whined and cuddled up to Levi and whined a little. Levi felt you relax so he kept singing the song as he played his game. He rocked you a little and thought about how happy he was being with you like this. He looked down at you and smiled when he saw you’d fallen asleep.

He played a bit more of his game before pausing. He saved it and put the controller down. He wrapped his arms around you before lying back against the headboard of the bed. He pushed his fingers into your hair and massaged it as he softly sang again to you. He closed his eyes as he thought about the future with you. He couldn’t wait to hold a baby on his chest and sing to them.

His eyes flew open when you shifted in his arms and whined. He called your name and gently shook you. “Wake up.” He smiled softly when you opened your beautiful eyes and gazed at him. “You were having a nightmare.” He saw you well up. “Oh, oh bunny.” He wiped your tears away. “You’re okay. I’m right here. I’ll never leave you.”

You nuzzled against his hand and sniffed. “Levi.”

He softly said your name as he held you close. “It’s okay. You’re okay.” He kissed your forehead. “I love you.” He smiled at you. “Do you love me?” He chuckled as you nodded. “Good girl.”

You curled up more in Levi’s arms and wrapped your arms around his neck. “Mm. Sing.”

Levi rocked with you and started singing softly, his perfect deep voice rumbling in his chest and soothing you. He took your left hand and played with your fingers, then your engagement ring. He lifted your hand and kissed your fingers. “Such a beautiful woman.”

You blushed at his words. “Th-Thank you.”

“You having nightmares about mean people?”

“Mm.”

“I’m sorry you saw all that. You’re supposed to dream of good things.”

You smiled at Levi. “I will.”

He scooped you up making you squeak. “I will make sure lots of good things happen and you dream of lovely things like baked goods, or my pecs and butt.”

You giggled. “I do like your pecs and butt.”

He smirked as he carried you to the bathroom. “I know you do.” He sat you on the toilet and began running a bath. “I know it doesn’t help when someone says it, but it will get better. I promise.”

You smiled a little. “I know it will.” You watched Levi run the bath. “I’ve been thinking.”

Levi glanced over at you. “What about?”

“Don’t look so worried, it’s all good and not bad.”

He sat on the edge of the bath and gazed at you. “Do you want kids in the future? Like, really want them?”

He nodded. “Yes.”

You smiled as a blush slowly spread across your cheeks. “Good.”

He stood up and pulled you to your feet. “I’d love a nice big family with you.” He bent you back before kissing you making you giggle. “My love. We’ll have a sweet happy life together. When my business takes off and I have more money, I will spoil you rotten.” He hummed a laugh. “We’ll have so many adorable little kids.”

You blushed. “I don’t need to be spoiled. You can spoil our kids a bit.”

“No, no, no. I have to spoil you.”

You shook your head and pulled your clothes off. “I don’t need much.” You climbed into the bath and sighed. “I really don’t.”

Levi sat on the floor and pouted. He rested his chin on the edge of the bath and whined like he was a puppy who had just been told off. You reached over and fussed his hair. Levi smiled at your attention, if he had a tail it would be wagging. He turned his head and bit your hand. He growled a little and kept a firm bite on your hand.

You pouted and wiggled your hand a little. “Why are you biting? You’re that mad at me for telling you no to spoiling me?”

He released your hand. “No.”

You reached over and squeezed his cheeks with one hand. “You’re so cute.”

He went to bite your hand but you pulled away. “You’re mean to me.”

“That so?”

“Yes!”

You laughed as he slumped to the floor. You leaned on the side of the bath and looked down at Levi. “Really?”

“Yes.”

You smiled as he whined. “You gonna lie there and whine for a while?”

“Yes.”

You leaned up a bit. “What if I have a pair of wet boobs?”

Levi lifted his head and stared at your breasts. “Wet…boobs?”

You crossed your arms and pressed your breasts close together. “Right here and so lonely and cold. If only there was someone who could hold them and keep them warm.”

Levi crawled over to you before kneeling and pressing his face into your cleavage. “Boobies.”

You reached down and played with Levi’s hair. “You know, I do really love this haircut.”

Levi moaned against your boobs as you scratched his undercut. “I’m glad.” He turned his head and began kissing and sucking on your wet sensitive skin. “You taste so good.”

You exhaled a moan as the tension left your body. “Thank you.”

He kissed up your chest to your neck and finally kissed your lips. “Can I get in the bath with you?”

You nodded and shifted in the bath. “Do you want me to be in front or behind?”

“I want to be behind you.”

“Sure.”

Levi yanked his clothes off and tossed them to the side before climbing in. He snuggled himself behind you and pulled you into his arms. “Comfy?”

You closed your eyes and hummed. “Yes.” You gazed at the tattoos on his arm. “Are you going to get more?”

“I hope so.” He kissed your shoulder. “I want to tattoo something with you in mind.” He smiled as you ran a hand up and down his arm. He nuzzled the side of your head as he ran his fingers over your belly. “You’re so pretty.”

You shifted in his arms a little. “Thank you.” You looked down at your body to see Levi’s fingers slowly drag down. “Where’s your hand going?”

“Somewhere fun. Do I have your consent?”

You blushed hard as your heart raced. “Yes.” You gripped his arms as one played with your breasts and the other kept curving with your body. You gasped as he cupped you at first making you tingle. “Mm.”

Levi curled two fingers a little and began running them up and down your lips. He closed his eyes for a moment and listened to your little whines and soft pants. He parted you and began running his fingers slowly in a teasing manner. He slowly rubbed your clit making you pant softly. He pressed his lips against the side of your head and smiled softly when you squeezed your thighs and moaned.

You shifted a little and whined. “Levi, you’re teasing.”

“Forgive me.” He rubbed your clit softly with his fingers. “You deserve all the love and attention in the world.” He moved his fingers a little faster on your clit to the pace he knew you loved. “I’m going to make you cum over and over.”

You leaned your head back and panted heavily. “Oh god, Levi.” You reached back and tangled your fingers in Levi’s hair. “Oh fuck.” You rolled your hips a little. “Mm, so good.” You turned your head and panted against Levi’s neck. “Levi. Fuck.”

He pinched your nipple and smiled as he gazed at you. “You’re so beautiful when you’re experiencing pleasure. Keep looking at me when you cum.”

You whimpered and nodded. “Y-Yes.”

“Good girl.”

You dug your nails into Levi’s skin and moaned out loud as you felt the snap and then a rush of hot water burn through your veins. You smiled as the tidal wave of your orgasm overtake your body. You hummed in happiness as you moved your hips a little and enjoyed the last bits of pleasure. You turned a little and curled up in Levi’s arms.

Levi squeezed you. “Feel better?”

You nodded as you softly smiled. “Yeah.” You rubbed his chest. “Do you want me to help you relax?”

Levi kissed your cheek right under your eye. “No, I’m good.”

You pouted a little. “But I want you to feel good.”

“I do feel good.” He smiled at you. “I feel really good.”

“You do?”

He caressed your cheek as he kept smiling at you. “Fuck, you are so adorable.”

You whined and pressed your face against his pecs. “I’m not.”

“You are.”

You shook your head. “No.”

He chuckled as you bit his pec. “Like a wild little bunny. So fierce too.” He grabbed your cheeks in one hand and made you pout. He smirked as he squeezed over and over. “Look at you. I bet you want to bite me.”

“Yes.”

He kissed you and chuckled. “We should cuddle in bed and watch a movie.”

You whined. “But sex.”

“We can have sex later.”

You sat back in the bath and pouted. “Only if you want to. I don’t want you to feel pressured.” You looked over at Levi to see he was looking away with a strong blush. “Levi?”

He groaned and put his head in his hand. “Tch, shit.” He whined. “No clue how much she turns me on. No clue.” He gave you a side glance to see you were cleaning closer and pressing your breasts together. “W-We should get out.”

You watched Levi climb out of the bath. “Levi?”

“I need to calm down.”

You blushed as Levi moved around drying himself with an erection he was trying to get down. “You’re handsome.”

Levi looked over at you. “Thank you.” He cleared his throat. “I’m going to get snacks and drinks.”

“Okay.” You smiled a little as Levi hurried around. You climbed out of the bath after he left and changed. You joined him on the bed and snuggled closer. “You feeling okay?”

Levi sighed. “Yeah.” He pulled on his jogging bottoms a bit. “Still a bit hard.” He huffed. “I want you to relax because you had a bad dream.”

You kissed Levi’s neck. “But having passionate lovemaking sex with you would make me relax.”

Levi blushed a little. “Oh…well…I suppose I could help then.”

You giggled as he lay you on the bed. “I love you so much, Levi.”

“I love you too.”

You hurried to your ethics lecture to grab the work for the lesson to take home. Levi was sick and you wanted to stay at home to look after him. You’d emailed your professor about it and he said it was okay for you to collect the work, and then go home. You just wanted to make sure your sweet handsome bear was looked after and cared for. You felt a bit emotional seeing him sick in bed because memories of him being in the hospital came up.

You let out a shaky sigh and entered the lecture room. You winced when you bumped into someone. “Oh, sorry.”

“I knew you’d fall for me.”

You looked up to see you’d bumped into Reuben. You pouted and shoved him back. “Why are you holding me?”

“Well, you bumped into me.”

You huffed. “Why are you right by the door?”

He smirked at you. “I was hoping a beautiful woman would fall into my arms and she did.”

You rolled your eyes. “Whatever.”

“How come you’re not taking a seat?”

You looked over at your professor getting the notes ready for you. “I’m not staying. Levi is sick, so I’m getting notes for us and we’ll do work at home.”

Reuben nodded. “Right, right, running around for the boyfriend.”

You sighed. “He’s not my boyfriend.”

Reuben smirked. “Ah, so you finally got some sense and dumped his ass, huh?”

You frowned a little. “What’s your problem with Levi?”

“He has everyone kissing his ass because he plays a sport. I don’t like it.” He pushed back his hair. “I work hard. I’m good-looking and I have money. Levi has nothing. He’s poor and he’s not as good-looking as me.”

You laughed at Reuben making him go white as he looked at you. “You’re jealous.” You shook your head. “You’re jealous of Levi.”

“Like I’d be jealous of a poor man like him.” He huffed. “Anyway, why are you on his side? He’s not your boyfriend.”

You smiled. “You’re right, he isn’t.” You lifted your left hand. “He’s my fiancé.”

Reuben grabbed your left hand. “Since when!?”

“Last summer. You’ve never noticed because you talk so much about yourself and you’ve finally been partnered up with someone.”

Reuben let go of your hand and huffed. “Disgusting. You picked a man like him over so many others?”

You let out a long sigh. “Why is money so important to you?”

He walked closer to you. “If you stay with Levi, you will have no money and always be poor. He’ll keep making promises but never stick to them. He’ll get you pregnant and your kids will be poor and be failures just like their father!”

You slammed your hand against Reuben’s crotch and twisted his cock and balls making him whimper in pain. “Listen here, you shit stain, I’ve been through too much shit so far in this university that I don’t need another thing to add. You and I have never been a thing and we never will. You are doing all this because you’ve had everything handed to you and people say yes, but I’m the one person who has rejected you and it pisses you off.”

He gasped your name. “A-Ah.”

You leaned closer. “I loathe you and your way of thinking. So what if we’re poor? At least we’re in love and happy. I will give my everything to make Levi happy and for us to be happy. Every moment we’ve shared that will be a precious memory has not involved money. I love Levi more than anyone could possibly imagine. He’s incredible and I can’t wait to graduate with him and have many babies. You can graduate and have your massive house and be all alone in there.”

“P-Please.”

You released his genitals and wiped your hand on your jacket. “Ew, I can’t believe I touched you.” You huffed. “Just get over whatever this is and leave me and Levi alone.” You walked up to your professor and smiled. “I’m here.”

He smiled at you. “I have work for you and Levi. I hope he gets better.” He handed the papers over. “I’m not too worried about you both missing this lecture though. You both are wonderful in this lesson and your ideas are fascinating.” He chuckled. “Always fun with you two. I will see you next week and with Levi.”

You bowed to him. “Yes, sir. Thank you so much.”

“A pleasure.”

You put the work in your bag and waved bye to your lecture friends and went on your way. You looked back to see Reuben was watching you with a blush. You flipped him off and ran out of the building. You made your way across campus and went to the shops. You checked your money and budgeted what you needed for your sick fiancé. You huffed a sigh as you grabbed some noodles and meds before heading home.

You greeted Kat in the living room and made your way up to your room. You peeked around the door to see Levi passed out in bed as he clung to a pillow with a shirt of yours on the pillow. You hummed a laugh and busied yourself in the bedroom. You went down to the kitchen and made Levi some noodles before joining him again in the bedroom.

Levi opened his tired eyes to gaze at you. He pouted a little to see you were sitting a little away from him. He whined your name. “Come closer.”

You looked down at Levi and smiled. “Hello.” You reached over and moved the hair from his face. “How are you feeling?”

“Hot.”

You placed your hand on his forehead. “You’re on fire. I have a few things to cool you down.” You went into your bag and placed a cool patch on his forehead. “Take your meds, okay?”

He whined as he weakly sat up. “Mm.”

You rubbed his back as he took his meds. “Good boy.”

A blush spread over Levi’s cheeks. “I am good.”

You kissed his forehead. “Very good.”

He gazed at you as you wiped the sweat off him. “You’re so kind to me.”

“Because I love you.”

He sighed. “I shouldn’t be sick. I should be strong and well for you.” He welled up and whimpered. “I can’t protect you like this.”

You hushed Levi. “It’s okay. You can’t protect me all the time, okay? I know a lot has happened to us but sometimes I can protect you.”

He sniffed back his tears. “Yeah?”

You hummed a laugh and wiped his tears. “Yeah. I’ll take good care of you, okay?”

He whined a little. “Yes.”

You smiled as you wiped his face. “It’s okay to be not okay.”

He hummed as you tended to him. “I know. I just…” He sighed. “I want to protect you and look after you and I can’t like this.”

“You can’t be fit and healthy all the time. I think you got sick because you’ve been pushing yourself way too hard. You’ve gone into overdrive and it’s made you sick.” You smiled at him. “Instead of being sad you’re sick, think about how strong you are fighting it and getting better.”

Levi’s eyes lit up. “I’m strong. I’ll fight it.”

You cupped his nose and nuzzled your nose against his. “That’s my strong bear.”

“I’m so strong.”

You kissed the end of his nose and helped him get comfy as he sat up against the headboard. “You going to stay up?”

“Yeah.”

You tidied up and handed Levi his noodles. “Eat up then.”

“Thank you.” Levi looked over at you to see you were on your banking app and counting under your breath. “Please don’t worry about money.”

You went white. “I’m not.”

“Don’t lie to me.”

You clenched your phone. “I’m just budgeting.”

He frowned a little. “Why? We’re okay for money.”

You looked over at Levi. “Right now we are, but we need as much as we can get for the business. I’m saving money and putting it into my savings account.”

Levi let out a long sigh. “Darling bunny.”

You shuffled closer and showed him your savings. “Look. I saved so much.”

Levi stared at the amount before looking at your proud expression. He smiled at you and let go of other feelings. “Well done. You’re so thoughtful.”

You looked at your phone and smiled. “We’re going to be just fine.”

“You care so much.”

“I do.” You gasped. “Oh! I bumped into Reuben and I told him where to shove it in a sense.”

Levi chuckled. “What happened?” He gazed at you as your eyes sparkled in delight while you told your story. “Good bunny. I’m proud of you.”

You grinned. “I stood up to him!”

“You did.” He coughed a lot and hummed. “Sorry.” He cleared his throat and downed some water. “You’re a strong and brave little bunny.”

“I am.”

He clenched his fist. “Thank you for defending me.”

You tidied up as you spoke. “Well, I love you and he was insulting the man I hold dear in my heart.” You gazed at him and smiled a little. “I don’t care about money or riches. All I care about is being with you and being healthy.” You hummed a laugh. “I’m looking forward to graduation so much. We’ll get a cute home and start the business…it’ll be perfect.”

Levi blushed hard. “The uh…the money could be…umm…used for the emergency baby fund.” He gulped hard. “I r-read that the implant d-doesn’t always w-work.”

You smiled softly. “Yes. It’ll be the emergency baby fund.”

Levi reached over and held your hand. “Great. Oh, but as soon as we graduate I want to marry you. We’ll wait for as long as you want for our sweet babies.”

You giggled. “Perfect. Now, drink up and rest, okay? You need to relax.”

He nodded and shuffled down a little in his bed. “Rest.”

“Good bear.”

Hello! It's me, Marissa Tandon, and I want to tell you about my new thing. Sappy text post incoming.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time on this website, keyboard smashing and meta tagging (and, ok, sometimes horny tagging, let's be honest with ourselves) about my favorite movies and TV shows. During the day, I spent hours trying to work through high school and extra curricular activities with the looming threat of applying to college very much breathing down my neck. And then after (and, okay, sometimes during) I consumed media and talked about it online like it was the elixir of the gods, escapism, and mental health.

I put a lot of that feeling into my latest audio drama, That Vampire Show, and into Kat's journey. But when I made that show, I also found myself so nervous to talk about it. Would people laugh when I said I was making a show about fandom? Would they roll their eyes when I talked about fan fiction and the community that can come out of it? Would they think I was weird for finding comfort in absolutely hyper fixating on media?

But I found something better: when I told people about That Vampire Show, they started to open up. People told me about the piece of media that they hyper fixated on, wrote fan fiction for, blogged about, and found comfort in. They shared about hard times in their life and how media and characters and online communities helped them get through it. And, at the end of those conversations, everyone said the same thing: I never get to talk about the stuff I love like this.

Growing up, I used to say that if I could just make being a fan a career, that's what I would do for the rest of my life. I'm not exactly there yet, but hosting You Are What You Love is one step closer to that. Every Wednesday, I sit down with a new guest and ask them one question: what piece of media changed who you are as a person?

They are some of the most joyous conversations I've had in a long time. There are five episodes out so far:

Lauren Grace Thompson (voice of Kat Wright) talked about Supernatural

Mike Schubert (host of Potterless, The Newest Olympian, and others) talked about seeing Bo Burnham live for the first time

Lauren Passell (writer of Podcast The Newsletter) talked about Calvin & Hobbes and Disney

Gabriel Urbina (writer of many things, including Wolf359) talked about Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Ashley Quach (writer, director, and children's book illustrator) talked about John Finnemore

And some more incredibly exciting guests are coming up soon (including Daniel Kibbelsmith (Marvel), David K Barnes (Wooden Overcoats), Molly Burdick (Pod & Prejudice) and so many others!). I hope you'll give the show a listen, and join me in trying to be more open and loud about the things that we love.

If you're into text posts like this, you can also subscribe to my newsletter, which I send out with every episode of the show.

Listen to You Are What You Love here.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

.....yeah kinda

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

depends, are talking first impressions in meatspace or online? in meatspace I think the things I usually notice first are general demeanor and appearance, like, do you come across as an asshole? do you seem impatient or high and mighty or genuinely friendly? are you wearing clothes appropriate to the situation (i.e. are you meeting dress code at work)?

online, the first thing I notice is gonna generally be the way you type, the way you form sentences (or run-ons, as the case may be LOL)

6. What's your eye color?

greeeeeeeen

I don’t do jump scares, so, happy endings I guess

weird

I feel weird.

I probably made you feel weird too when I texted you. Nine months of no contact and then bam, I’m back in your DMs telling you that you were on my mind. We’re both in college now but my loneliness makes me do weird shit like texting you.

I think I have an addiction to you. To texting you, to your voice in those voice memos, to having sex with you, to getting hurt and broken over and over and over again by you. That definitely feels kinda weird. I liked hearing about who you’re seeing and who you’ve made out with and how I don’t know them at all. I liked hearing about how you love taking the metro and how your school is full of entitled rich kids who pay nine hundred dollars for box seats at baseball games and how your friend-but-more got so drunk she had to go to the ER and how a pretty boy perked up when you got called out. Isn’t that so fucking weird?

I definitely have an illness. I mean, I know I have a couple, that’s why my psychiatrist put me on meds. I think I told you that, right? Well, if I didn’t, now you know. But I have some other sort of affliction, I think, that makes me think about you at night and reread our texts from a year ago where we made fun of your ex and talked about Phoebe Bridgers and Moses Sumney, and I invited you to my birthday party and when you said you couldn’t go because you misunderstood my text, I had a twenty four hour long mental breakdown and wanted to kill myself and was a zombie all day until you realized your fuckup and told me you could actually, in fact, attend while I was in the makeup department at Nordstrom and I couldn’t stop smiling or wanting to cry, because I knew how weird it was to be that upset over some guy I fucked a couple times.

I still check every story I post to see if you viewed it, and I still refresh my DMs to see if you texted me and Instagram just didn’t tell me. It does that sometimes. But it’s been over a week and your little DM slot says “Seen last week” and then I just get this weird angry-sad feeling where my heart seizes up and aches, and I want to throw my phone out my window. Just like last time, and the time before that too. I still think about how every story I post might be the one to make you remember I exist or how it will affect you, as if you’re doing anything more than just clicking aimlessly past.

I still think about how sometimes it feels like you’re the only person who’s ever been attracted to me or thought I was pretty or worth kissing or having sex with. I still get shocked when I realize that you’ve wanted to text me or see me naked, and then it makes me want to turn myself inside out so you can see my guts and what they really mean and how fucked up in the head I am sometimes (Holden Caulfield, eat your heart out). I still get so nervous that you think I’m weird or annoying or clingy. As if you even think anything about me anymore.

I’m so lonely. You’re the only person who has ever touched me and it’s been almost a year since the last time that happened, and now I feel like I don’t have any friends and I’m almost jealous that you get to go have fun and get high and have a bunch of friends while I sit alone in my room, listening to my sad playlist and writing about you at one in the morning on a Friday night. You told me to just put myself out there if I wanted casual sex and that made me feel so weird because I hate putting myself out there and I hate casual sex and I don’t know if I want to do it with anyone else. Which is weird because you were a blip and it’s not like we even really cared about each other. Right?

Weird is still being attached to a boy you kissed at sixteen. Weird is almost killing yourself because college is scary. Weird is realizing you don’t know where home is anymore. Weird is living vicariously through other people who are having way more fun than you. Weird is getting Kit-Kats every night. Weird is being chronically online. Weird is wearing a sweater in seventy five degree heat. Weird is always being there but never getting it in return. Weird is watching people fall apart at two in the morning. Weird is texting you on a Sunday night and then unsending the text.

I hate feeling weird.

Im brazilian and thats very important to me. I hate dealing with negative feelings because they make overwhelmed and i just push them away and focus on other things. Im not exacly an empathic person but i always try to be, i ocassionally have moral flaws (like cursing a lot, but not calling other people names, responding to bullies when they come at me and stealing things from big bussiness) but nothing too serious. I'm a bit of a showoff and live my life thinking "if this was a movie it would be awesome it i did that", people say i can be very agressive but im actually really affectionable, i will get mad if people make fun of me for that. Im an elder sister and i often feel like a teen mother to my baby sister and my own mum, in school i dont have any problems besides loudly talking, cursing and responding back to bullies (teachers or not), i actually have great grades and my assignement are awesome. I sometimes mess with dangerous people for the sake of getting money since i've been job hunting for months and got nothing out of it and im ashamed to ask help from my neighbours, i dont touch drugs or alchohol since i think its disgusting and i hate the idea of losing control of my own body, i usually only steal things and the sell for them.

Back to school again: There is this guy who wants to beat me because i scratched his hand when he grabbed my head, something i had asked him to stop and he didn't, my friends thinks i picked the fight, same friends that usually belittle me but i still hang around for the sake of not being alone, im a bit scared to the fight, not that i will ever admit to anyone but strangers online, i hurt that guy (Paulo, a tall fag idiot) because i didn't wanted people to think they can hurt me, but im angry knowing i can't count on my friends. I feel very alone with them, alone and small and powerless, they are not all that bad but i dont like how they make fun of me but i can't explain it, i feel like im 7 years old again, i also hate how i feel like i can't be an real person without my family (i live with my mom, grandma, baby sister and six beautiful dogs). Im a 17 bisexual female, i like sports but im ashamed of doing in public because of my boobs and my collegues talking about it, i like a lot of songs and im very ecletic, i like supernatural horror things and i have an morbid fascination to female criminals, my favorite band is The Acid, i love black bis bar and kit kat, coffee and spicy foods, but i hate eating and drinking at the same time, i love shopping and skincare but i have spending money, i'm also very self disciplined in regards of my eating, like a schedule, people say i curse a lot but i dont think so, they are just pussies. Idk if that helps but my mbti is ESFP, 3w2, 371 so/sx. i think im being too extra but i like details. sorry.

I sip you with... PAUL!

Okay, so hear me out, it can go 2 ways: either it's an enemies-to-lovers scenario, where he was messing with you and he wasn't expecting you to respond the way you did, and he's intrigued ; or it's a "Guys, did you see how she shut that guy! Good for him!" and he'll be in awe.

Once you're officially together, you become such a powercoupleTM. No one dares mes up with you, no one! He lives for you to retort anything to anyone. And if it's a pack member - Sam included especially if it's Sam -, Paul won't be able to shut up about your skills and your courage.

Somehow, Leah and you would become bestfriends, dissing the pack 24/7, having no one to contradict you.

And, if you're not feeling all too good about yourself, one day, you can count on Paul to take your defense the second he sees you ain't in your best mood.

Thank you for requesting!

-M-C

DISCOURAGEMENT

Social media is blooming nowadays; many people engage in contact with different social media apps. Teenagers is practically much involved in this situation where in their belief of insulting others personal contempt, they perform posting some discouragement or encouragement to people involved in the situation. Furthermore, I will tell a story of my friend's experience about cyberbullying wherein he has this kind of feared in posting and engaging in such social media application. The story starts in his elementary days, the name of my friend is Dylan, Dylan often prolonged his playful behavior all along during his grade 5 elementary days. Dylan, is a naughty person, sometimes other people get offended by his move of insulting others person disability. Dylan hobby is playing computer games nearly the school premises, he also has a Facebook but not that so active in it because he is more in playing games. Therefore, his friend Ed and Will is always by his side like a brother who always backup his stand, they also the naughtiest boys in their classroom, they make a trip to others person, insult, get punish by teacher but often they laugh it all about as a kid.

One day during recess time Dylan get involve in dispute, Dylan offended other person which is girl named Kat by her skin color, he often said "black color", shouting hearing all around the room. Kat who also has a circle of friends get more in disagreement of how Dylan offended Kat's skin color because from the start they are just not taking it seriously and Dylan goes over the limit. Kat that day is in silent after Dylan and his friend laughing of how Dylan insult Kat. After the class Kat and her friends murmuring about Dylan action earlier and telling Kat that she should not let this go because Dylan should punish his way of insulting one's deficiency or disability. Kat remain her clam and not doing any actions including taking revenge in Dylan, because she thinks that fighting back is not good. The other day, Dylan insult Kat with no hesitation, Kat get offended this time because many people hear him out, and secretly laughed. Kat tell what happen to her friends and much more her friends get angry with this Dylan actions. After the class, Kat decided to go home, and after that she go to computer shop, she used Facebook account to get revenge in Dylan actions towards her. She posts about Dylan like making him like a "barney" "big header", etc. in social media which is Facebook. Dylan got this insulting through his timeline as Kat tag his name, Dylan gets angry and post also about how Kat look alike. In balance, Dylan got angrier as Kat has more friend agreeing and helping her out, also Dylan thinking that Kat taking it personally. Dylan got whoop-ass by this posting into social media and got more enemies especially girls. Dylan who is a confident person become shameful and bashful after, he also thinking taking absence in their class, but with pride Dylan go to school after that day. In the classroom, Dylan like a crazy who's imaging hearing murmuring around his self, his friend also got teased by taking friend to him, so they take distance. Really the effect of cyber bullying that day is much more than a physical occurrence, as it is showing much wider of audience involved.

Later, Dylan gets insulted by Kat friend, Dylan answered it and fight back, but because Kat and her friend’s team up, Dylan got more guilt and furthermore cried, as a boy who insulted by physical and online. Their teacher noticed Dylan crying out and tell what his problem, with constrained Dylan tell the situation and also what happen in social media to his teacher. Openly the teacher does the work of reconciliation between Dylan and Kat, they talked about the problem, their actions, and how they going to behave to classroom, outside the school, and also in social media. Their teacher also orders Kat and Dylan to delete their post about each other, and remain silent and peaceful. Then, after the situation become calm and peaceful that day and tomorrow.

The cyber bullying is common this day, sometimes we insult others by their traits, wrong actions, and beliefs. Let’s us remind ourselves that bullying by any means in social media is long term effect to people and it is punishable by the law. The story of my friend is just a simple lesson to this cyber bullying that after now his college years he got this feeling of not getting involved and post anything about his looks in social media, really that happen made a fear on Dylan that goes and anywhere in social media.

Behind The Scenes...

1:27p, Cordelia Palace, Oasis Springs

Ana: Zdravstvuy, moye Solnyshko!

Ivan: It’s good to have you home, Mijo. And so wonderful to meet you, Lady Octavia!

Octavia: Thank you for having me, Your Majesties.

Ana: We’re so excited to have you both for the weekend, we’ve got so much fun planned!

Phil: Actually, Mama-

Ana: Oh don’t tell me you can’t stay!

Phil: Actually, the opposite.

Ivan: The opposite?

Phil: Octavia has… learned something that she wanted to share with you… and afterwards, we have a question…

Ana: You’re making me nervous, Philippe…

Phil: I think we should all be nervous, Mama.

Ivan: Tell us, Lady Octavia.

Octavia: Your Majesties, I believe that Windenburg is preparing for war on the Empire.

Ana: What…

Octavia: My father is the Marquess of Lykke, which means he spends a lot of time with the King of Windenburg. I overheard him telling my mother that the King wants to arrange a marriage between his son, Prince Jonas, and myself as a true Windenburgian match-

Ivan: Even though you’ve been dating our son for the last three years?

Octavia: Yes, sir. And then he told her that the King plans on launching a war on the Empire.

Ivan: On what grounds?!

Octavia: He said it was because the Crown Princess spurned Prince Jonas’ proposal, but to be honest, Sir, the King has harbored malice toward the Empire for as long as I’ve known him. I think he was just looking for an excuse to start the war he’s always wanted…

Ana: I have to tell Kat.

Phil: That’s one of the reasons we came to you today. I thought you could warn Aunt Kat and she could be prepared in case King Victor goes through with it.

Ana: Thank you, Philly.

Ivan: And the other reason?

Phil: I would like to return home… with Octavia…

Ivan: You are home.

Phil: Home from school, Papa. Britechester is so close to the Imperial capital and if war is indeed coming, I’d like to return home and help you out.

Ana: What about school, Philly?

Phil: I can finish it online, or go back after the war if there is one. But the main reason is that Octavia… she asks for sanctuary.

Ana: Sanctuary, dear?

Octavia: My parents are dead-set on this match between me and Prince Jonas, and Oasis Springs is so far from Windenburg… I was hoping I could hide here, so I can’t be forced into any marriages against my will.

Ana: Oh my dear girl…
