Shout out to young JM who wanted Jk so bad it had him looking like a stage 3 clinger & shout out to Jk who has done everything in his power to keep that beautiful man once he had him & now a stage 6 clinger. Congrats. I keep thinking about when they were in NY the Megan BTB & how all those bags are sitting there & Jk instinctively grabs 2 and you see JM realizing Jk has his & doesn't have to get one, when the other members are holding theirs. SNIFFS. Its Jj carrying JM's bags & his shoes when they come off his feet. Rubbing his shoulders at any given point, cause one he wants to touch JM, but also knows JM is in pain all the time. Its him cooking the biggest pancake for JM & telling JM of course, you know I'll do it, when JM asked him to cook for him. Or only buying birthday presents for JM. Its him telling JM in front of the world, I'm your fan & hyping everything he does. Its him wanting to cut something cause he doesn't want JM's hand to get hurt or when Vmin were playing with a yoyo, it was JM who was given a lecture on Safety by Jk, about his fingers hurting & this is how accidents happen. Not a word when Tae was playing with it, but the minute JM gets it, his anxiety & boyfriending kicked in, just like when Tae was gonna flip his food & Jk said don't fling it at JM. Jk Coming after Suga with a Frying pan. Bulldozing RM out the way messing with JM. Physically moving Suga away from JM. Bulldozing past Tae to stand directly in front of JM & stare directly at him, when he was thanking Army for an award. Damn, he's just giving a TY speech, not accepting a nobel peace prize, Calm down. The way he guides JM walking up the steps or lets him walk ahead of him. The way he could hear the nervousness in JM's tone & he turns & nods and stares JM down giving his UN speech. Just reassuring JM with his little head nod, I'm here, beside you, you got this & if you notice it was when Jk turned to him when JM let out that deep breath/shudder & said sorry & had to shake it off. Just seeing JK's reassurance almost caused him to loose it. The way the others teased JM over it & Jk jumped to his defense, ready to take on all his Hyungs, but it was him in the end, who couldn't remember when he took a picture with Tae & said it was the day JM said sorry, it was all that stuck in his head. Every little detail he remembers. Even Jimin's grandma's birthday. There within 1 minute when JM called him on his bday live, dropping everyone. Even When he's missing JM he takes it public in front of millions and shows where his heart lies. Who owns his heart. Who he loves & doesn't care if he looks like a fool, as long as people know he's a fool in love. Look at how he chose the buddy system with JM, when he knew he had options & he & JM are complete opposites when it comes to thrill seeking. And how he has made himself look even more sus & clingy, by even saying anything about other branches (BTW his wants are valid and its very much okay if he wanted to do other things) but he still didn't go through with it & instead went through a timely process and enlisted with JM instead. Didn't even enlist on your own that would give you independence and thrills and instead followed JM with the buddy system to hell.
The things we do for love. And If he hasn't told JM yet that he is in love with him, which I am sure he has and or JM at least feels it, but if he hasn't, I hope he gets the courage too one day, cause doing all this, plus following someone to depths of hell, is an awful lot of loving on one person, for it to be for nothing. To do all this for someone, then go home empty handed. What a hell you have to live in that you created for yourself. FYI, I think JM is just as in love with Jk and he appreciates everything, because Letter says it & that he plans to give it all back, what he's received, and I know JM is a man of his word. In fact, I'd say Jk is pretty damn satisfied & gets it back, cause he's still there, standing next to JM, just like he promised. I've never rooted so hard in my life for two people, but these two, I hope it all works out for them and Whatever kind of love it is that they have for one another. I hope it lasts forever.
Damn the onions got my eyes😭😭😭😭🤧

Back again with another dumbass "imagine sagau fics"
Im going crazy either way its fine. Anyways imagine having MEGAN in a Sagau fanfic lmao, (if you havent watched the movie yet , i 97% recommend!)
SAGAU ;
Imagine having MEGAN as a gift or just a comfort "toy" to have gifted by someone and ever since that day you guys became like twins , technically glued to eachother☠️
Being in a SAGAU with MEGAN is like having a bulletproof bodyguard
Devoted Followers, Vessels, Personal Bodygaurd, Worshipper Who??? I only know MEGAN
Whenever theres someone trying to attack you aka their "grace" , MEGAN will slice their throat in half in like 0.1 faster than xiao teleporting to traveller whenever they call his name/hj
Your "followers" in teyvat WILL glare at MEGAN and if you tell them to leave MEGAN alone MEGAN will smirk at them like "I win btch" but if you just brush it off or like laugh it off MEGAN will death glare at them back
MEGAN has the "grace's right hand" privileges, Shes like your co-worker or vice-president or sum LMAO
The non humans (yk like Archons,, Venti, Zhongli, Ei, Xiao, Ganyu, and etc) would be like salty or envy over the fact you hang out with MEGAN and has more trust on MEGAN than them, like they has been worshipping you for what?? 99999+ years, centuries?? what did that "doll" do to gain your attention like that??😦
I feel like the ones that would accept MEGAN whole heartedly and would love her /p is the childrens or the teens,, if that makes sense😭 ! (Klee, Diona, Qiqi, Sayu, YaoYao, Dori, Xiangling, Noelle, Collei, Fischl, Bennet and more)
Since MEGAN has that fighting skills noelle would probably ask MEGAN for some advice so she can be apart of the KOF (as usual) ! and MEGAN would use her "robotic skills" and just give out noelle the whole description on how to fight and stuff it probs took like 3-6hours for MEGAN to finish bc noelle wants to know alot😭
It would be more cooler if like MEGAN plays genshin or like knows all the lore and characters (the power she holds☠️)
Whenever you sneak out, go on a meeting, went out to buy some stuff , went to travel you bet your ass MEGAN will be beside u 24/7 even if the mobs dont attack you MEGAN would still be on gaurd to make sure nothing harms you
MEGAN would play some songs back in your world if you feel stressed out by the work and responsibilities
MEGAN would make a deal with the fatui or the abyss to secretly spy on you where ever or whenever you go (its not like you will leave without her🫣!!!)
MEGAN gives me that platonic yandere vibes so if you ever have "secret admirers" , MEGAN would scan that letter properly and find your admirers house and "talk" to them nicely to stop bothering you
MEGAN would have that resting bitch face on 24/7 but whenever you talk to her she would look so bubbly and nice, but whenever your not around shes so close on choking the people that has been "eyeing" you whenever you breathe, theyre lucky that you told MEGAN to not harm anyone
MEGAN wouldnt give a damn fck about visions, like she would think its useless but the fatui would give her a delusion either way😭👆🏻 (you requested it)
MEGAN would find a way to either destory teyvat or make a portal to make you both go back home cause she doesnt plan on sharing you with anyone any time soon shes only having thin patience around these mfs , but she has to play nice for now😄‼️
IMPOSTER AU! SAGAU ;
you both somehow got teleported in genshin, idk how maybe MEGAN like heard you say you wanted to go to teyvat and MEGAN is like "im a robot i can do technology i can do portal shit lets go"
so now here you both are, eating soup in a small little camp and some fruit giving by some monsters you two met along the way! isnt that nice:')))
You had abit of wound, you were thinking you would have more wound than the wounds you got but suprise suprise MEGAN protected your sorry ass
looks like MEGAN has to train harder but good thing she still have some tricks on her sleeves
MEGAN doesnt mind threatening off a few "side characters" so you two would survive
MEGAN would send death threats to the "creator//the real imposter" and she would have it in like some of the archon's handwriting without signing (bc in the movie she managed to make a masterpiece of a drawing like zamn😭)
MEGAN would give out fake informations and will say its from the "creator//the real imposter" so they would believe it but it will take like a 1-2 year from them to realized that someone has been spreading fake informations
MEGAN would sneak in the academy and do some chaos in any technology plans they have just to make distractions and give you time to get like items you both might need
If the fatuis know your the real creator and take you both in, MEGAN would only help out the fatuis by giving out personal informations of other characters that they call themselves "devoted worshippers"
MEGAN would probably be great friends with Sandrone & scaramouche
MEGAN would be "friendly friendly" with dottore just to get more technology uses😭
MEGAN has thoughts on just beating the shit out of childe (and probably dottore) but she choose not because she doesnt have time to play around with "childe-rens" and has to be by your side 24/7
but If the abyss finds you both first
ofc they would take you both in and MEGAN would also share some tips or advice to defeat those vision users
The abyss sibling would ask your permission to take MEGAN with them from time to time to set out their plan on destorying teyvet and the people who wronged you
MEGAN was abit hesitant at first cause like,, leaving you alone with the abyss? Naur..
But then you insisted that MEGAN should go with aether (also so you can go explore the abyss abit without MEGAN breathing behind your neck😭)
MEGAN would be a trump card for the abyss like if the traveller sees their abyss sibiling with MEGAN, MEGAN would glare at them, if glaring can kill people traveller would have been dead already
and if traveler shares what he saw when he saw his sibiling to like,, someone they would probably go like "yo wait isnt that the kid with the imposter?!"
If people in teyvat finally get to their senses that the "creator" in the throne is the real imposter
they would hunt you and MEGAN down (again) but with "good intentions"
you and MEGAN would troll these bitches
MEGAN would sing creepy songs while theyre haunting at the dark
you and MEGAN will only go out at night but if theres a squad looking for you both
MEGAN would be hella overprotective and going infront of you with her weapon out while glaring at them
"Your grace!"
"Tsk. little bugs like you shouldn't show yourself infront of your "grace""
MEGAN wouldn't HESITATE too ROAST them.
and you would be laughing inside bc of it too
if ever you get recrowned as the "creator" and the real imposter gets jailed up
MEGAN will TOTURE that bitch whenever your sleeping
those "devoted followers" of yours would look at MEGAN and be like
"damn i wish i was her"
MEGAN will be your loyal bodyguard and right hand
why would you need those people when you have MEGAN who sticked with you even when you were still so young?
like you would have the largest trust issues with stuff like imagine
"(maid/bulter's name), please call zhongli."
"yes your grace!"
"yes your grace, you called?"
"please call MEGAN."
"a-"
like 😭😭😭YOU DONT WANT ANYTHING FROM THE PPL IN TEYVAT
and even if the real imposter comes back and claims their the real creator , MEGAN would know their bullshitting bc she has that scanner stuff😭‼️
MEGAN will always protect you from any harm and if something even touch you without your permission, their hand is getting cutted off
"MEGAN.. Was that really necessary..?"
"Of course, Its also my duty to make you comfortable at any time _____"
"Right,, but you didn—"
"Shush now, silly _____! I was only protecting you after all we're best friends aren't we?"
Que that person whos trynna touch you screaming in pain in the background🤭‼️
Have this shitty azz drawing❤️Goodbye xoxo

hellooooo. could you pls do a scenario of reader unintentionally hearing bllk boys singing for the first time and finding it cute? ft. rin, kaiser, isagi, reo, nagi pls. TYSM LOVELOTSSSS
hi anon! thank u for the request and i hope u enjoy
characters: rin, kaiser, isagi, reo, nagi
Tumblr media
rin
- i want to go dad rin for this one but i won’t 😣
- jk i changed my mind.
- i feel like this is one of the only scenarios you could catch him singing
- ok so you’ve had a lot on your plate recently and rin noticed and told you to take the night to yourself and let him handle yua (ifykyk;))
- and so that’s exactly what happened
- once you had enough you-time you immediately wanted to check on yua
- rin was a great dad and all but it just felt weird leaving yua for so long
- quietly, you snuck to her room, knowing she was probably already asleep
- it came as a surprise when you instead saw rin holding her while sitting on the rocking chair, singing her a small song
- your heart? MELTED
- you tried your best to not gasp so you could enjoy the moment for a little longer
- rin, however, noticed quickly </3
- he set the now asleep yua back in her crib before walking over to you, acting like he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary
“welcome back, how was it?” rin greeted with a kiss on your forehead. he pushed you both away from yua’s room so she didn’t accidentally wake up due to your whispers.
“rin, you have the prettiest singing voice and you only use it for yua,” you looked up to him with a pout on your face. you watched the different stages of rin’s realization show on his face. at the end he was covered in blush, looking away while speeding up his pace to go to your shared bedroom.
“rin! you should start singing to me sometime! and slow down!”
“shut up or you’ll wake up yua,” rin warned from basically a mile away from you. yeah, he didn’t slow down nor did he look at you for the rest of the night.
kaiser
- i feel like he sings a lot when doing tasks
- like chores? there’s a good chance that he’s singing
- he always sings low though, so it can be hard to tell
- it’s always absentmindedly too!
- so you noticed it pretty quickly into your relationship with him
- he was opening a few boxes he got from some companies he partnered with and some fan mail that had made its way into the pile when he was once again singing
- meanwhile, you had wanted to sneak up on him
- which, was going well until you abruptly stopped in your tracks at his low smooth voice
- that’s when he noticed you, completely oblivious to your earlier actions
“what’s wrong, liebe?” he questioned, his attention all on you now. a small frown made it’s way to your lips at the lack of his singing.
“were you just singing?” you asked even though it was obvious he was, just hoping he would go into more detail about it. a smirk appeared on his lips at the question, now turning his body to you.
“yes, aren’t i a good singer? do you want me to sing to you, my little bird?” he got closer with each word until his lips were next to your ear, letting out his seductive whispers. as much as you didn’t want to, you went red at his teasing, giving him a pout before pushing him away.
“you can’t say that when you have someone’s love letter to you in your hand!” you fought, both you and kaiser’s gaze dropping to the card with a heart on it. maybe it was bad timing.
- btw he’s not a good singer. he’s just full of himself.
isagi
- any song that has a catchy tune will get stuck in his head and he sometimes sings it out loud
- he has sang body by megan the stallion once because aryu played it as a joke
- but anyways you guys had the idea of creating a shared playlist the other day
- and isagi had been cleaning the dishes with a song stuck in his head
- and lucky for you, you caught him in the act
“isagi, are you singing a song from our playlist?” you recognized the love lyrics the song had. his eyes widened in shock, not even realizing his earlier singing, before turning to you with a red face.
“yeah, it was one of the songs you added,” he admitted sheepishly, hand going up to his nape, “it’s been stuck in my head recently.”
you only smiled at his shy confession, turning off the water to the sink before wrapping your arms around his neck. you both met for a gentle kiss, before going in for one more.
“you have a good voice,” you told, a smile now forming on his lips as his cheeks turned into a darker shade of red. instead of another sappy sentence, he met you for another kiss, this one longer than the rest.
reo
- he’s not much of a singer at all
- meaning it’s VERY rare to see him sing
- but when a song has been stuck in his head for awhile he slips and lets his singing voice out
- this time the song had been a slow one, really accentuating his nice vocals
- it had happened when he was filling out “boring” paperwork, naïve to his own singing
you snuck up on the purple-haired male, making yourself known by snaking a gentle hand up his back, resting your head on his shoulders. you had even gotten a startled jump out of him in the act.
“what’s wrong?” he questioned, head turning so that his still widened eyes met yours. you only have a chuckle at his reaction, your smile easing his tensed body.
“you should sing to me some more, you have a good voice,” his eyes widened once more before a smile made its way on his face. his arm slithered around your figure, pulling you to sit on his lap.
“so you heard, your wish is my command,” he whispered before planting a kiss on your nape, eyes going back to his paperwork while his singing voice started up again.
nagi
- he would hum a lot of game background music
- it was rare to hear him singing actual lyrics, seeing he was not the best music enjoyer
- however, if the song is from a game it’s more likely to happen
- you both had been laying together on your shared bed, doing your own things
- nagi had opened his game and it reminded him of the one song he heard from them
- so naturally, he started singing absentmindedly
- while you were like ????
- you probably thought it was his game at first because you never expected nagi to be singing??
“nagi, is that you?” you questioned, confused if he was just lip syncing or actually singing. once he processed your question and his lips stopped moving, you had your answer.
“yeah,” he answered, not knowing what else to say. his focus stayed on his game, showing his lack of care at your new discovery.
“keep singing, you sound good,” you snuggled up to him, head resting on his shoulder as your eyes fell to his game. his body gave you easy access, a natural response of his for his love of cuddling.
“too much of a hassle,” he sighs, a light stroke of pink coating his cheeks. he secretly loved that you were impressed. so much so, that he might just start singing again later.

Megan has cool pants! Rebb has a cool earring!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dante Unbound
Tumblr media
next week!
"We wanted to bring lore! Important for us for people who want some texture… with their food…?" lol
Hence, even though there's no quest with this update, lots of lore! Drusus and other leverian stuff
Dante prex:
Tumblr media
They mentioned no sticky corners and someone in the audience cheered.
Styanax deluxe
Tumblr media
Nipple talk
Gauss Prime's little goofy run is gonna be an emote! for plat! "This is only a microtransaction panel" - Rebb
Banshee, Loki, and Nekros voidshells!! And some Loki QOL: some buffs, customizable invisibility, and an augment!
Easter bunny ears have FUR (using tech for the companion rework) and are now PERMANENT! "Nobody could stop me," - Rebb (Geoff boos)
Protea prime! Including her gear!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Velox prime, Okina prime, Rhoptron prime syandana (this is GORGEOUS), a bonus alt helmet that moves, and an ephemera (no asset for this yet)
Yareli deluxe!, the Kompressa deluxe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"If you haven't played Yareli, maybe depending on where you get your warframe news…" LMAO the subtlest shade. I've liked Yareli from the beginning and definitely thought the initial backlash to her kit was overblown, so
blah blah soulframe
New update between Dante and Tennocon featuring the Stalker: Jade Shadows
Tumblr media
Jade, our 57th warframe
Cinematic quest update from the Stalker's point of view!
J is the second to last letter we need to cover the alphabet, we're just missing U Audience member: what about Umbra? Rebb: No, that's Excalibur Umbra. If your arsenal said Umbra Excalibur you might stand a chance in court.
Warframe 1999
Tumblr media
Very much a Warframe update, but a different style of update. New lore, lots of content, a new Warframe chapter. The gorgeous Arthur is our poster boy.
It's not a single player Warframe spinoff, a "Warframe 2" (I confess I was among those theorizing this). Those nipples stay on.
and now, waking up from his nap… it's Ben Starr! "Arthur is a very mysterious character who I am bound by NDA to say… VERY little about!" He's SO cool. and REALLY sexy. He's relatable. He's gonna be a badass, he's got a samurai sword.
Excalibur is a frame. Arthur is a PROTO-FRAME.
Just as an aside, Ben is adorable and hilarious, very fun to watch.
Stuff about Conflict between humanity and the non-human.. "you don't perceive humanity without how it reacts to others."
a first look at Aoi, our proto-Mag, and I am GAY SCREECHING
Bike: the atomicycle
Q&A
Audience member in a (Uniqlo?) metal gear rising revengeance shirt that Rebb recognized and appreciated: when is my man Caliban getting buffed? A: If Pablo were here, he'd say ask me at TennoCon.
Q: any other warframes getting reworks? A: Inaros rework coming with Dante unbound. Loki rework not planned.
Q: What inspired proto-Mag's design? A: Liger did Arthur and Aoi. We had a very specific vision for those two protoframes: Arthur being the "man scout," and Aoi we wanted a nice contrast to Arthur.
Q: Two questions very well worded I didn't get them down in time because I was nodding along. About stat sticks / pseudo-exalteds and trading. A: Stat sticks: we've talked about it but no changes planned. Trading: we've talked about maybe adding riven filters but not much more than that.
Q from guy in Dante DMC trenchcoat: Drifters? Maybe new outfits? A: In Unbound we are bringing one more operator outfit to drifter.
Q: I've been playing Warframe for 10 years, and I'm legendary 4. Any additional benefits for high rank players? A: The social benefits of being a high-rank player are unexplored. In terms of more mechanical aspects… we're thinking more social benefits. congrats on being legendary 4!
Q: When's infested liches? A: Steve is that you
Q In the second metal gear shirt: warframe 1999... dark sector? A: A lot of what Warframe was built on was the scifi part of dark sector that was never meant to be. So it's poetically coming full circle, that 1999 is dark sector inspired. Q: is there a plan for the dark sector remaster? A: 1999 is the dark sector remaster.
Q: Is there going to be fashion protoframes? A: Actually, yes… And that's all I'll say on that.
Q from Leon Kennedy: is squad link coming back? A: RIP scarlet spear. Not coming back in the way you might think, but we're experimenting early days with something you might like. It's in an urn. Geoff: that's pretty dead. Rebb: Someone hasn't played Baldur's gate 3! It's not totally dead, but mostly dead.
Q: Has anyone at DE considered a TTRPG or even a war game? you could blow games workshop completely out of the water. I'd rather give money to you than them any day. A: We're all fans of that kind of content, we'd endorse fan content, but we don't have the time to pursue it. Q: Has anyone considered modular ("kit") frames? A: We have considered it, but it didn't seem shippable. Seemed scope-scary.
Q: Are you, Rebb, personally happy with the way movement works at this very moment? A: Are you asking pre- or post- sticky corners? Q: Post. Also is Soulframe taking from the movement in Warframe? Geoff: Soulfame is very much in the opposite direction of Warframe, movement-wise. Rebb: I always thought it'd be fun to explore wall running in Warframe. But other than that, I love it. I think it's the best movement system in the third person games space. Every other game I play I try and bullet jump and aim glide. Questioner agrees.
Soulframe question I used to catch up on my above notes
Q: If you could go on a date with a warframe, which one?… me, it's Grendel. Ben: what would you do on that date? Questioner: just eat :) Geoff: Excalibur? (Rebb: that's very Raphael-coded of you. Little Baldur's Gate reference for you) Mag: Probably Valkyr. Rebb: why choose? All of them >:) Ben: pick one for me. Rebb: Mirage. Ben: What would I do? Rebb: Circus act. You are the circus.
Q: What was your favourite part of developing 1999, and Ben, what was your favourite part of voicing Arthur? A: Some stuff we haven't announced yet. As with most characters I play, there's something lovable about him despite his rough exterior… rough but he's nice about it. He's gonna do something to you, but he's gonna kiss you afterward. Rebb: I think it's quite sacred to introduce protoframes like this. We're being quite sacred about it (it's not Mag and Excal, it's Aoi and Arthur). Ben: The ways in which you're exploring that dynamic is very cool, and very 90s.
Q: Rebb, what are the things that plague you? A: My plagues are supported by the development team. I'm not alone; whenever I have an ailment, I have someone that to help support me with it. Geoff: I've genuinely never seen someone care so much. He gets teary. \*audience cheers as REBB DESERVES\* Same asker: when is my girl Titania getting buffed? A: Controversial question, she's pretty strong. I could see Tribute receiving some QOL to be easier to use (some Tribute). But those dex pixia, they do kill.
Q in a Warframe sweater with a Warframe backpack!: Which NPC would you be most likely to be besties with? Ben: Fibonacci Rebb: We love you Neil! Ben: If you don't have a cranky fish as a friend, what are you doing. Megan: I love Ordis :) especially little trash can ordis Rebb: you better say Lotus, Geoff >:) Geoff: Lotus. Rebb: Hard not to love Little Duck. We'd be besties for sure, drinking in the back room.
Q: if Teshin can have his head crushed and come back, what about Veso? A: He died a hero, I'm sorry.
Q: When can we get points to Dante his brother? A: ??? audience member yells out "VIRGIL!" Rebb: \*laughs\* maybe the bike is Virgil (This is a devil may cry reference)
Q: clan to clan interaction? Haven't had that since solar rails? A: Ok so in the urn we have squad link.. \*laugh\* We are trying to do more clan events. They work for by the book tasks. There's opportunity there we haven't explored. No leaderboards. I'll try to do more.
Q: I'm curious how you develop characters as a Warframe team. I've noticed a lot of references to mythology. A: it's a library of devs that have passions. The team is just really diverse and loves really cool shit. The amount of inspiration we get to name things thematically, we have touched lore I didn't know existed. When it comes to Warframes, we're still looking at old Keith Thompson drawings… he's built different.
Q: I'm sorry to take you back in the morgue. Void keys. Will there be a return to the old void and endless missions? A: We're not in the morgue here, we're in ICU. Visiting hours are open. I loved the old voidkey system. We did a soft tease with Dagath keys, it had wins and losses… There were user experience problems. But it's not totally dead. The omnia fissures are kind of that vibe. You can bring any relic to an omnia fissure and just haul ass.
Q: Can we get a toggle for Protea's visor? A: The rigging artist working on it talked about it. Maybe. You're right, it would be nice.
Q: Fashion frame question. Have you considered a DE color palette, like, Megan's greatest hits? A: That sounds like a great idea :) We're doing it.
Q: Are we ever going to see new necramechs? A: I hate saying probably not. No new ones in 1999 at least. We're touching up the ones we have before we go to the morgue, and grab a skull, to make a a new one. Sorry
Q holding a Clem plushie: when more Clem??? A: We'll see. Clem holds a special place in our heart. He's not in the morgue, I promise.
Q: I've been coerced into asking a question on behalf of someone who's not here. He's made it clear if I don't get a satisfactory answer I won't see my family again. Are there any plans to look at spawn rates for loot and reactants? A: I'm gonna keep talking until you can get your family out safely, I'm filibustering. There's performance issues, we want to get safe on all platforms. The worst offenders we can probably fix. We can increase reactant drop rates. Loot rates is harder to solve.
Q: if you have Drifter selected, can you use drifter melee? A: We thought it was important to keep drifter melee in duviri, but… why not? We could try. Drifters can't mod though. It's not impossible, but it'd take some time.
Q: Warframe being predominantly PVE, has there been talk of collaboration among clans? A: I implied it with the other question, but a social benefit would be great. I'd love to see you make friends with other clans
Thanks to the DE team for your hard work <3 supporting us for 11 years!

Megan can't get up on her good foot because her good foot is on Nicki's neck. Her "big foot" made a big imprint.
Why doesn't Nicki tell her cult to stop doxxing people?
If there's one thing ppl know about Nicki is she's addicted to social media. She's always got her boots on the ground when it comes to discussions being had about her. So it's not like she doesn't see how dangerous it is to spotlight the ppl critical of her actions. She knows that. But she refuses to speak about it or tell her cult to stop.
Beyoncé has her stans too but she tells them to calm down when they start doing weird shit. Beyoncé doesn't like that. Nicki loves it.
She didn't come this hard at Remy or Kim because she felt they were out of the game. Megan is navigating her comeback and actually is as relevant (more relevant) than Nicki, so she's trying to derail Megan's career by saying the most low down foul shit about her. And Megan could literally be her daughter.
But Nicki is always talking about 'black women this' and 'black women that.' But always tearing down black women and calling them 'nappy headed hoes.' She pushes misogyny.
Nicki has the energy to blast bloggers for posting about her cult trying to deface Megan's mom's grave, but none of the smoke for the cult followers who are actually doing it?
This is the same woman whose brother's semen was found on the inside of his victim's underwear and then was convicted. And she wrote a letter asking for leniency.
It's crazy that she actually sat down, picked up her pen and decided to write 'u was humping on a minor.' Where's that same self awareness about your husband and brother? How do you feel about them? Or do you only care about it when it's a dig towards someone else? Did she have the same smoke for R. Kelly when he lied on Gayle King? No, because pedos and rapists are a protected class to her.
So what if Megan had lipo? At least she kept the integrity of her features and her ass still moves. Your ass isn't even proportional to the rest of your body. I mean, you bought an ass you can't even shake.
Nicki's beef with Megan started bec they did a collab and then Megan worked with Cardi. She was a newer artist, why wouldn't she take an opportunity? Nicki thinks when she gives a collab to someone she owns them for perpetuity. You can't just add random ppl to your cult bec they worked with you. Tf. She worked with you, she doesn't work for you.

another mark friends-to-lovers au lol
part of the same storyline as my previous post !!!! where mark and oc are best friends in the same friend group in high school and oc starts falling for mark even though he likes to play into the running joke that they're some perfect couple.
i think i might make this another series of oneshots bc i... am not ready to write a whole full blown fic yet AHAHAHAH we'll see lol but i just wanted to put this up in case i never touch it again
here's the previous post!
---
It’s almost as if Mark wants to continue proving you wrong. Because as much as you think there’s already so much about him that’s attractive, endearing, hot, whatever; he seems to pile on even more labels and traits that make you want to melt into a puddle of nothingness. It's like he's aiming to become one of those... multi-hyphenates that the teachers in school like to talk about.
He got his stupid Driver’s License. 
And to be honest, you never really thought it was hot that people could drive- it’s literally just operating an automobile, a routine of turning the steering wheel and hitting pedals- so what about it could possibly ever evoke any sense of attractive quality to it?
Maybe you’re just biased because it’s Mark who’s driving right now, after so long of boasting about how he got his license and how he’s already “reeeaaalllyyy good”. You sit in the passenger’s seat as he drives you back home from another day at the Library, and you buckle your seatbelt just a little tighter, holding onto it in fear as he starts the car to pull out of the parking lot.
He punches at your shoulder lightly, “Hey! I promise I’m fine! Look, I can do the one handed thingy!”
“Literally, don’t. Isn’t it dangerous, or something?”
“I mean, kinda, but I swear I’ve got it down. See?”
And got it down, he does- and you can’t lie and say it wasn’t cool. Maybe even hot. His hand on the steering wheel, he turns around to look behind the car, leaning in a little closer to you, and you have to will yourself to look away from the concentration on his face, and how good he looks with his hair out and not hidden by a cap, his circle-rimmed glasses resting on his nose. Your eyes land on the knife of a jawline he has, and then they naturally travel up to his lips that are so incredibly pink and plump-
“Cool, right?” He manoeuvres successfully, and makes a straight to send you home, and you gulp, staring straight at the street in front of you. It’s almost as if his stare has a weight of its own, crushing you, pressing you to squeeze into the car door. It’s so embarrassing that you’re secretly harbouring all of these feelings, they’re so…. strange, and maybe even inappropriate since you’re just friends.
“Okay, fine, it is pretty cool. Now you just have to get me home in one piece.” You laugh, and just pray, that for the love of God, you can just get through another day without getting flustered over something stupid like this.
“Oh yeah, I wanted you to listen to this! Unlock my phone and go into my Spotify, it’s the top playlist.”
He hands you his phone, and continues, “You remember Phony Ppl, right? They had that song you liked with Megan Thee Stallion? Well, I found one of their new songs and someone in a YouTube comment said it was sampled on the first song in that playlist, but I swore it sounded like this old 5SOS song.”
Huh. Funny. The very first song in the playlist is titled ‘I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On,’ and you literally want to punch yourself in the face. You press play.
It’s a funky disco-beat- Mark’s recommendation playlist for you has been full of these songs lately. 
“Hmm, it’s fun! I love the synths, they’re going crazy. Also, love your car’s stereo? Wow!”
You’re starting to really like it, it’s groovy, it’s fun, and then she starts singing, so you look at the lyrics on his phone- they’re not synced to the song, so you just scroll, skimming through in curiosity. And in huge, bold, white letters, almost to mock you,
You read me wrong. I wasn’t trying to lead you on. I want a friend. I didn’t mean to turn you on.
Haha. Oh my God. Hahahaha. You nod your head in awkwardness, but then try to play it off by looking like you’re just doing it to the music. 
“Right?! It’s such a bop, man! And yeah, sometimes I have to stop myself from playing the music too loud. If not I can literally feel the vibrations in my fingers. Okay, anyways, the song itself is like, seven whole minutes, and gets kinda repetitive at the end, so you can just skip to the next one. Just listen to the intro!”
‘Nowhere But Up’ sounds pretty similar to the previous song, it’s pretty clear they did sample it, yet they’ve definitely made it their own since the vibe is completely different, and the lyrics are still on the screen, and Wow! They do not get any better.
So, like hold on, you, you wait, so you want me to chase you through this song? Huh, you sound crazy, you sound crazy. The last thing I remember is you said that you want me.
You chuckle sardonically before you can even stop yourself, and you should’ve seen this coming, but he asks you what’s so funny and you have to come up with a lie on the spot.
“Oh, no, the bass is ridiculously good! That part in the intro? It’s so good. This part.” You replay the part, and he agrees, “Yeah! Their bass lines are always so sick.” There is a moment of silence shared just to listen to the music, and the suffocating feeling of his eyes on you is back for a brief moment before he continues to tap the rhythm on the steering wheel, head bopping to the beat.
Then his phone buzzes, the ping interrupting your moment of solace, and you see the text message notification from Karina before he can even ask who it is. 
[karina ☺️, 2002] heeeey wru
Your heart drops to your stomach- it’s almost as if this is the perfect storm of events and it’s not even just your confirmation bias, almost as if he did play those songs to unknowingly reject you, no- almost as if he knew you how you felt, almost as if he was deliberately trying to shut you down. 
“Ooooooo! Karina just texted you.” You wiggle your eyebrows and try to force as much excitement and curiosity as possible for someone that just got their life and soul sucked out of their body. 
“Oh, um,” Mark, too, looks pretty shocked. “Can IIIIIIIII open it?” You stare intently at him, waiting for his answer, stare right at his face like he has something to explain to you. Which, he doesn’t, not necessarily. But you still feel this way anyway. He licks his lips, as if in contemplation.
“Yeah, sure. What’d she say?” 
“She just asked where you are. Are you supposed to be anywhere right now?” Hands clammy, you click on the notification. At first glance, it does look like they’ve been talking quite a bit- they even texted each other ‘gn’ three days ago. Everything is sending you into a frenzy, and you’re trying to convince yourself it’s just a normal thing people do. Friends do. You’ve texted Yeonjun ‘goodnight’ before, and it doesn’t mean anything. Where does he have to be? Are they supposed to go on a date? Where could they be possibly going on a Saturday Night? 
His voice cuts off your train of thought- “Oh, shit!” His voice cracks, and there’s just so much panic packed into the tiny space of his car, “I’m supposed to be in some Zoom Call right now, it’s for the project we’re doing. Uhhh, tell her I’m on the way home right now, I’ll be there in 5 minutes.”
You type away, and all the fear that struck terror in your soul seems to have deflated, yet it’s left your heart palpitating. You feel so stupid for feeling so worked up about this, it’s crazy. Never in your life had you thought you’d be overcome with jealousy, even if it was for a tiny moment, but you suppose that it’s really just the uncertainty that spurs it all. 
You know, since you don’t know how he feels about you. No clue at all about whether or not he reciprocates whatever stupid crush you have. He literally just recommended two songs that were about turning someone down. But then again, when has he ever sent cryptic messages through his song choices? It’s totally unlike him, and your leaping-to-conclusions- brain is just incredible at making complete nonsense of anything that’s happening. 
God, you need to convene with Minji and Ryujin again. Your hand is itching to whip your phone out to send a text, why in front of Mark you’re not too sure, maybe the desperation really has gotten to you.
“Can I take the call at your place? It’s only going to be, like, thirty minutes max, I think.” He’s come over multiple times, it really isn’t that big of a deal. It’s fine. Your mom likes him. Haha. 
“Yeah, sure, I think my mom’s home and she probably wouldn’t mind.”
The next song has started.
“Great, thanks! Oh, this was the last song I wanted to show you, the 5SOS one? Do you hear the similarity? Like the chord progressions, and the rhythm? It’s not the same synth sound, I mean, duh, it’s a guitar, but yeah.”
When you’re talking to your girls, do you talk about me? Do you tell’ em that you love me the way that I’ve been loving you?
You are seriously going to punch yourself in the face later.
---
LOL yeah um let me know what i should do with this fic should i try to flesh it out and write a whole story that really flows or just post the random scenarios agashgahee
also the songs are: i didn't mean to turn you on - cherelle nowhere but up - phony ppl girls talk boys - 5sos
go have a listen!!! they are such boppy songs lol.

“Boogie Bitch” Slashers first meeting w/ a Fem!Reader who’s also a Slasher
CHARACTERS: JESSE & ASA
Reader is always black unless I say differently
SFW, canon typical violence at most
Inspo: Megan Thee Stallion/Scary
Happy October and hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
ASA EMORY
Tumblr media
You targeted him because he seemed like an easy hit
Residential street, by the books job, basic looking if hefty white man
He wore sweaters to work almost everyday for fucks sake
You sneak into his house of course, side eyeing all the displays of different insects you pass
He senses something’s off and unlike with Arkin (who was familiar with Asa) you can’t circumvent him and he gets the drop on you.
In the scuffle your mask gets pulled off
Your helmet hair is not cute but you barely focus on that as you gape at him
Him taking advantage of your lapse to stab you in the arm with a letter opener springs you back into action though.
“Ow, fuck!”
He just grunts as he springs up at you, something worrying flashing in his eyes. You have never once run into someone who looked at you like that before.
Sure you’ve gotten contempt and fear, even the occasional wannabe final girl (or boy) with some fiery disposition, but never has the way one of your targets looked at you ever made your own blood run cold.
Screw the kill, you scramble away from the man worth every inch of your being
At this point the hunting knife in your fist might as well just be an accessory
Eventually he manages to catch your arm and in the ensuing sharp sprout of pain up your appendage you panic and throw the knife at him. The fucker catches it.
Evidently your best bet is to run and you don’t hesitate to haul ass to the front door. You’ve pissed Asa off though so it’s not like he’s just going to watch you leave.
He’s angry as hell. So mad he’s not even speaking words he’s just growling and shit. It triggers your fight or flight like crazy though(and flight wins obviously). Asa’s mostly pissed that you 1.) had the gall and 2.) he didn’t notice you poking around his house until you were already inside.
You’re faster than he thought you’d be and where you’d seemed pretty slow before, you were already out the door by the time he threw your accosted knife and it embedded in the spot you ran past not a second before
In your confusion you dashed out the back door instead of the front
So now he’s chasing you around his backyard until either he catches you or you manage to get your thick ass over to the neighbors backyard
HOW IT GOES: you juke him and then hop the fence. You fall instead of landing on your feet on the other side, but it’s not like anybody saw.
Immediately after you wave to his angry face before you start screaming bloody murder and then bang on the neighbors back door
They’re not white woman tears, but the crocodile tears you shed do the job and have the old couple next door taking you in and calling the police
You don’t lead the cops back to Asa cause that could get you in trouble, but the entomologist does glower through the routine questioning that all the neighbors are put through incase they saw whatever ‘mysterious kidnappers’ had gotten you
He’d never admit it out loud but he’s genuinely embarrassed. Like, down to his core ashamed you nearly got the drop on him and escaped, and now he needs to get back at you
Because of this Asa makes sure not to forget your face, and you can bet he’ll be seeing your ass again.
JESSE CROMEANS
Tumblr media
You’re a stripper at one of the types of spots he’d usually pick up piggies at
That night in fact he’s eyeing you for the slaughter
In a little bra and skirt set you come up to his table, recognizable six inch pleasers and everything and something about you pings in his brain
So you’re both sizing each other up
He’s big but you’ve taken on bigger and he looks like he’s got money (desperate men with a lot of bank tended to try and barter) but this man: mr expensive car, watch, shoes, and suit, you couldn’t wait to see the goodies he’d give you to try and bribe you for his life
You lay the charm on hard to lull him into a false sense of security
Meanwhile Jesse’s over there thinking: “pretty and a dumbass, looks like I’ll be having an easy night after all.”
He doesn’t plan on killing you right away but he’d get to initiate the chase easier since he wants to have fun with you for two or three days
There’s an art to it
Neither of you catch on to the other’s games as the night drags on
You slide into his lap and pull a little wrist touch and giggle as you admire his watch. Armani, nice.
And Jesse’s smug in the cheap pink lighting of the seedy club. Rubbing his hands along your thighs and stuffing 20’s he plans on collecting later in your waistband. Yeah, he’s milking your greedy ass.
You dance him up, promising something you’re never gonna give him, and he plays along until y’all get to the room you rented for this week's hunt
When you excuse yourself to the bathroom to strap up he drops all pretense and mounts his camera
That red light flashes on as soon as the bathroom door swings open
There’s surprise filled silence as you both clock the knives in each other’s hands. Only difference is you snap out of it faster, diving for his weapon. He pulls it away before you get it but you do slash the back of his heel. Not as deep as you wanted because of his thick expensive damn pants, but still, it makes him stumble
This fight lasts longer than Asa’s. Jesse swings with a lot of power but he’s big, tall and wounded so you stick closer to the ground as you bounce around the room. Never pausing long enough to be cornered or slammed down as you zip past volatile hands.
You’re a Slasher too and a woman, you know how to move and you know how to lie to stay alive when killing people bigger than you. You also have a tried and true process to subdue them too.
Once you pass him up good enough you can get to the door with a few precious seconds to spare, you curse. There’s a big fancy lock keeping the two of you trapped
HOW IT GOES: He comes up from behind you and then his big hands are at your throat. You wiggle around desperately, trying to throw him off with your body weight.
It doesn’t work, Jesse’s too strong for that shit, but he doesn’t kill you right away. He chokes you long enough to subdue and then takes your weapon away while you cough up half your lung on the rundown carpet.
He misses your method of curbing your victims though, and once you’ve regained yourself enough to realize the bastard is taunting you with twirls of his stupid custom blade you wait until the right moment to strike.
In the meantime you pretend like you’re still stunned
No doubt done playing around, and deciding you’d be too much of a problem to let go so he can hunt, Jesse goes in for the kill pretty quickly
It’s then that you surprise him by moving fast enough to just barely dodge his downward strike, he gives you a good long cut down the arm to remember him by, but you yell and push past the sting to plunge your needle into his wrist before hopping to your feet
He’s a lot of man but what was in your syringe works fast and despite his best efforts to stay standing when he tries to advance on you he just ends up veering to the left and then collapsing
You laugh at him, you do, which you can tell pisses him off then rummage through his jacket for the lock key and leave.
While this is happening Jesse’s fuming. Only Princess, his hardest victim to date, had done him this dirty. But even if it wasn’t by his hand she was dead and he’s not going to stand for you relegating him incapacitated either. Jesse only liked games when he came out on top after all.
You should’ve ended him in that dingy motel room, but all things considered you just weren’t thinking and only wanted to get as far away from the other Slasher as possible. This was new for you and you hated it, but it was better to leave without a kill than without your life.
Later, once he’s been checked and cleared by his medical team, Jesse goes back to the club and gets the fake information you used to get a job there, then through his connections he and Spann find you
You who left him with a little souvenir too, strained muscles that he has to briefly stop hunting to recover from
And yeah, Chromeskull plans on paying you a little visit soon
Real soon
NOTES: Hope you enjoyed!

CIRCA DECEMBER 2015, JUNIOR YEAR
It had always been a trio. You, Danny, and Sammy. You had moved to Frankenmuth your sophomore year of high school, right next to the Kiszka house. You and Sammy were close in age so you two started hanging out a lot more. He introduced you to Danny, he didn't like you at first. He thought you were taking Sam away from him. 
Danny warmed up to you after him and Megan broke up. You two went to some high school party and he walked in on her with another guy. You found him on the front porch, crying. You had your keys in your ready to leave. 
You sat down with him and asked him what was wrong. “Like you care,” was his first answer. “Just because you're an asshole to me, doesn't mean I don't care about you.” you told him. He looked at you and said, “I walked in on her with a dude.” 
You apologized and stood up, you put your hand out and said, “Ice cream?” He grabbed your hand and stood up. You led him to your car and unlocked the doors. 
You drove to Jaami's and you two walked in together. You got your ice cream and sat there, introducing yourselves to each other, finally getting to know one another. You finished your ice cream and drove him home.
He led you to his house and said, “Hey, Y/N, thanks for tonight, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for my ice cream.” and pulled out his wallet. He went to hand you a five but you refused and said, “My treat, Danny.” He smiled and put his wallet away. He had given you his phone number and said, “Tell me when you get home.” and shut your car door. 
You told him when you were home and he asked if you could start driving him to school in the morning. You had already driven Sam to school, so you told him you could drive him to and from school for the remainder of high school.
AUGUST 2016, SENIOR YEAR
You, Sam, and Danny had been inseparable ever since you and Danny had gone out for ice cream. Sam and Danny had started playing at bars and every single show there was, you went to. The three of you were the best of friends and no one could ever take that away from you.
FEBRUARY 2017, SENIOR YEAR
You had gotten an acceptance letter from Pomona College for Women and Gender Studies. You still hadn't told Sam and Danny that you were leaving Michigan. 
February 22nd was when Sam and Danny told you that after they graduated, they were going to Nashville. You were beyond happy for them and how excited you were for them. 
On the same day, you sat them down in your room and told them, “I got accepted into Pomona College for Women and Gender Studies.” Danny hugged you and said he was happy for you. Sam on the other hand said, “What the hell? You told us you were staying here. You'll be in California, 1,000 miles away from us. I can't believe you.” and walked out of your house. You looked at Danny and he hugged you. “Don't cry hun, he’ll be back. I promise you he'll be back.” He said as you cried. You and Sam hadn't talked since.  
JUNE 2017, GRADUATION DAY
“You may now turn your tassels, Frankenmuth Graduating Class of 2017!” announced Superintendent Hegenaur. You turned your tassels to the other side of your cap. You made your way outside and saw Danny with his family. You walked over to him and hugged him from behind, taking him by surprise. Josie and Lori congratulated you and Danny. You felt a tap on your shoulder and turned to see Josh.
“Hey Josh! How are you?” you asked him. 
He said, “Hey Y/N, I'm good. Sam wants to see you but was too nervous to come over and talk to you.” 
He led you over to where they were and saw your family talking to the Kiszka's. “Hi Sammy,” you said to him as you approached him. He said, “Hi, Y/N/N. Can we talk?” 
You nodded and grabbed his hand. You two sat down on a bench outside the school and he started to say, “Y/N/N, I'm so sorry for the way I reacted. I love you and I just wanted you to stay here. Whenever Danny and I can, we'll come visit you at Pomona, as long as you visit us whenever you come home.” 
Danny had come over and sat next to you. The three of you sat together on the bench, embracing each other and just loving each other.
CIRCA AUGUST 2017, MOVE IN DAY
You and your dad were about to leave to go to California. Sam and Danny had helped you pack up all your stuff. Josh, Jake, and Ronnie were all helping you pack everything into the car. You, Sam, and Danny walked down the stairs together, not wanting to leave each other.
The three of you had never split up for this long, you were always together, never apart. You hugged everyone, Josh, Jake, Ronnie, Karen, Kelly, Mom, Dad, Sister, and your dog. You hugged Sam and Danny last, savoring the moment. 
That was the last day you were ever going to see them again.
PRESENT DAY, 2023
You had a job opportunity teaching at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee. You had been teaching Women's Studies for a few years now, you loved your job. 
Usually, you find yourself at home, eating dinner with Odie, the greyhound. Tonight, you found yourself at a bar. 
You had a tough student who thought he was hot shit today. You needed a drink. You ordered food and a drink and ate alone. You heard a voice say, “Y/N/N?” 
There was only one person who ever called you that, Sammy. You put your burger down and wiped your lips. You looked up and saw him, “Sammy?” 
You got up and hugged him tightly, surprised you would ever see him again. “You never came back, you hoe.” he said, joking around with you. You apologized and told him, “My parents moved, I never had the time. I'm sorry.” 
He let go of the embrace and said, “Can I sit? My girlfriend is getting us drinks, I'd love for you to meet her.” You nodded, welcoming him into your booth. His girlfriend came over and said, “Hi, you must be Y/N! I'm Lily!” You already loved her, she matched Sam's energy. 
“Hi Lily! Yes, I am Y/N! Sam and I were best friends in high school.” you introduced yourself and turned to Sammy. “Speaking of, how's Danny?” you asked him.
He sighed and said, “He never had the guts to call you and tell you how you really feel. He was so pissed off at you because you never came home. I'm pretty sure he's still upset about it. He lives on the eastside, you should go see him.” 
You answered him, “if he's mad at me, i'm not gonna want to see him.” He sighed and got off the topic of Danny. “So, why are you in Nashville?” he asked you. “I teach at Tenn State, I've been here for a few years now.” you told him. He looked at you and said, “No fucking way! I live like 10 minutes away from there, I've never seen you! Goddamnit I wish I knew. What do you teach?” 
“Women and Gender Studies, I love it so much.” you told him. Lily spoke up and said, “Wait, are you Ms. Y/L/N? I think my sister might have you! Her name is Nola, Nola Yearwood!” 
“Little Nola? Nola is your sister? I absolutely adore her!” you told her. The bar door opened and Sam turned around, waving over whoever it was. You couldn't see who it was until they came over. Josh and Jake turned the corner and gasped, not expecting to see you. Danny came up behind them, also surprised. You smiled at Danny and said, “Hi, D.” He turned around and left the bar.
You said hi to Jake and Josh and followed Danny outside. “Danny! Danny please,” you pleaded, just wanting to explain everything to him. “Jesus Christ! What?! What could you possibly want?” he questioned. 
“Danny, my parents moved closer to me and my sister moved to New York. I had no purpose in Frankenmuth anymore.” you told him.
“No purpose? Did you forget about Sam and I? Do you know how sad Josie was to lose one of her best friends? How sad Sam and I were when we realized you weren't coming back?” he stated, making you feel like shit. 
“I'm sorry. I had no reason to come back. I had a life in California. I have a life here now, I live here.” you told him.
“Sorry isn't good enough. You could've come back for a few days, but no. You chose to stop talking to us. I waited 7 fucking years to see you again. I would tell myself you were busy, making your dream come true.” he said to you.
“I didn't choose anything. You could've picked up the phone too.” you said to him.
“Sorry, unlike you, I have a real job. Welcome back, Y/N.” he said and walked into the bar. You sat outside and cried. You heard the door open and out came Sam, with your purse and your jacket in his hand. “Hey Y/N.” he said.
You smiled up at him, tears falling down your face. He sat next to you and handed you your stuff. You pulled your wallet out and handed him a twenty, “Close my tab for me?” you asked him. He pushed your hand down and said, “Lily got it for you. She knows how close we were.” 
You asked him for her number, wanting to thank her for what she did. He hugged you and said, “You know Y/N, he loves you. He's mad because he loved you for 7 years and he bottled it up and never said anything. He loved you ever since you bought him ice cream.” 
He asked you for your address, asking if he could come over later. You gave it to him and stood up. “I have to teach tomorrow. I need to go. I'll see you later.” You told him. He got up and hugged you, “I'm glad to have you back, Y/N/N.” 
When you got home, you showered and cuddled up on the couch with Odie. You watched Ragnarok and had a glass of water while you watched. 
You heard a knock on your front door. You checked your phone, 10:45PM. You got up and opened the door to see Sam and Danny. You sighed and said, “Come in,” and led them into your home. “Your house is beautiful, Y/N,” Sam said. 
You asked them both if they wanted anything to drink, or if they wanted food. Sam said, “Do you have La Croix?” 
“I have Poppi and OLIPOP?” you said. He went for an OLIPOP and sat down at your kitchen table. “Danny? Need anything?” you asked him. He didn't answer, just sat next to Sam, silent. You went over to the couch and shut the TV off. You grabbed your water and sat in front of them both. Sam spoke up and said, “You two need to work whatever out. Daniel, you made her cry. Y/N, you made him mad.” 
“I don't have anything to say to her.” Danny said, getting up, ready to pull Sam out the door. “Sit down.” Sam said to him.
“Danny, I established a life in California. I had no reason to go back to Frankenmuth. I finished my studies and an opportunity arose in Nashville. Did you know, I went to Frankenmuth before I came here. I went to see you, both of you. No one was home, at either of your homes. I called both of you, no answer. So, I went to see you and you weren't there.” 
“Well obviously we weren’t there. Because we moved. We moved far away from you.” he said.
“Wow, what do you think I am? Stupid? You two told me before I left, to come home on every holiday, that you would be there. Lo and behold, I came home and no one was home. Do not blame me, Daniel.” 
“Whatever, Y/N. I'm leaving. I don't care if I have to walk home.” he said, got up and left. Sam got up and apologized. He walked out the door to see Danny sitting on the front step, crying. You opened the front door and heard Danny say, “Goddamnit Sammy, I love her so much, yet I can't find the words to tell her. I missed her so much, I'm just being an asshole to her.” 
“Reminds me of sophomore year,” you said from the front door. You startled them both and Sam got up and went to the car, leaving you and Danny alone. You sat next to Danny and he put his head on your shoulder. “God, I am so sorry. I love you, I never stopped loving you.” he said. You wrapped your hand around him to touch his cheek. You rubbed the side of his face, comforting him. 
“I love you too, Danny.” you said. “No, you don't. Not the same way I love you.” he told you. You moved his head and grabbed his face with your hands. You nodded and said, “Yes Danny, I do.” and kissed him. He grabbed your waist and kissed you back. You pulled away and wiped his face off. 
Danny got up and went over to Sam's car. You heard him say, “I think I'm gonna stay the night. Can you bring me clothes?”  
Danny walked back over and asked if he could spend the night. You nodded and sat up and led him inside the house. You called out for Odie who was asleep on the couch and said to him, “Listen Odie, you have to be nice to Danny, okay?” Danny pet Odie’s head and you set him down on the floor. Danny grabbed your face and kissed you hard, taking you by surprise. He had you against the kitchen counter. He lifted you onto the counter and took your shirt off. “Mm, nice tits.” he said and kissed your neck. You laughed and pulled his shirt over his head. “Where's your room?” he asked you, quickly. You pointed to your room and he picked you up off the counter. 
By the time you two made it to your room, you only had your underwear on and Danny had his pants still on. He laid you down on your bed and you removed his belt. 
Your alarm went off at 7:00AM, waking you up for work. Danny shuffled next to you and pulled you close to him. He nuzzled into your neck and said, “Call out, I just got you back.” You sadly told him, “I can't test today.” He sighed and said, “At least let me take you out for breakfast,” as he kissed down your neck. You told him that was fine and unwrapped his arms from around you. You went into your closet and picked out your outfit for the day. Tenn State was lenient with dress code, thank god. You wore flare jeans and a sweater with white platform converse. 
“Sam dropped off clothes for me, can you get them off the front porch?” Danny asked you from your bed. You nodded and grabbed your phone. You grabbed his clothes and brought them upstairs. 
He changed and came out to the kitchen where you were. You handed him your keys and let him drive. “You got your dream car” he said when he saw the car. It was a Mercedes G-Class. You had wanted this car ever since you were in middle school and you finally had it.
You put your purse and your backpack in the backseat and let him drive. You two went to the Pancake Pantry for breakfast. 
After you ate, he took you to Dunkin. “Do you still get an iced caramel macchiato with extra caramel?” he asked you. You nodded and smiled, he remembered your order. 
He drove you to work and asked what time you got off. “I have a short day today. I get off at 1PM.” you told him. He said, “Good, we can have more sex.” He waited for you to get inside and he drove away.
You got to your class and saw Nola sitting in the front. “Miss Nola, guess who I met the other day?” you asked her. She shrugged and you told her, “Your sister. Sam was my best friend in high school.” Her eyes lit up and said, “Do you know Danny, too? He's so hot, I've had a crush on him ever since Lily introduced me to them. I might ask him out on a date,” 
You got jealous and said, “Sorry girl, he's taken.” She visibly got upset and said, “Damn, by who? Is she a slut?” You laughed and said, “I don't know, I've never met her.” You didn't want to tell her about you and Danny, as she was your student, not your friend.  
When your shift was over, you got a text from Danny saying he was there. You got in the car and put your stuff in the backseat. “Guess who has a crush on you?” you asked him as soon as you put your seatbelt on. He shrugged and asked who. “Nola. Lily's sister. She told me today.” you told him.
He laughed and said, “Are you serious? Does she really?” You nodded and said, “Yeah, but I told her you were taken. I didn't tell her it was me though.” He said, “You should’ve. Establish dominance, Angel. Are you hungry?” 
You nodded and he drove to Mellow Mushroom. You two ate and talked about how your day went. You two made it back to your house and as soon as you shut the front door, Danny had you up against it. “Missed you today, Angel.” he said, eagerly kissing your neck. You wrapped your arms around his neck and he lifted your leg up onto his hip. He grabbed your ass and walked over to the couch with you in his arms. He sat down on the couch and pulled you on top of him. You two sat down and made out for about 20 minutes, there was a knock on the door. You pulled away and said, “Fuck, I forgot I had to tutor Nola today.” 
He sighed and went into your room, “I'll be back, gotta fix this. I'll be thinking about your tits.” He motioned down and you saw the bulge in his jeans. You followed him and said, “She’ll leave eventually,” and jumped up onto him. You wrapped your arms around his neck and he gripped your ass. “Come on, Angel. She needs your help.” he said and put you down. 
You opened the door and saw Nola with her backpack in her hand. “Hey Miss Y/L/N, I was starting to think you forgot about me.” she said.
You let her in and you sat her at your kitchen table. You offered her a drink and she asked for an OLIPOP. You handed it to her and she opened it. You grabbed her test out of your bag and graded it very quickly for her. She only got about 5 wrong, so you went over those with her. 
Once she left, Danny came out of your room and said, “Wanna be my teacher too?” You laughed and said, “Nope, sorry.” He sat down in the chair in front of you and said, “Good lord, I love you.” You shoved your books off the table and onto the floor. You climbed over the table and crawled into his lap. You sat in his lap and he palmed your ass. You kissed him passionately and he stood up and laid you down on the table. 
You woke up on the couch, naked. You felt Danny next to you and you woke him up, telling him you were showering. He excitedly stood up and followed you into your bathroom. You two showered together and you laid your head down on his chest. He rubbed your back and kissed your forehead. “I missed you so much, Y/N.” 
You two got out of the shower and you checked your phone, 5PM. You had a text from Nola, saying thank you for helping her. You went out to your kitchen and checked the fridge. You took out some skirt steak, peppers, onions, rice and some fajita seasonings. “Are steak fajitas good?” He nodded and asked, “Do you have a grill outside, I can cook the steak.” You nodded and handed him the steak with the seasoning. He cooked the steak outside as you cut up the onions and peppers and cooked them in some butter inside. You took out tortillas, limes, pico de gallo, and cooked the rice in the rice cooker. 
You two sat down at the table and ate your food. When he finished, he said, “Can you drive me to mine tonight? I want to get some clothes and my car.” You nodded confused, “Are you moving in or something?” you asked and laughed. “Is it alright if I do?” he questioned. You nodded and grabbed his hand, “Of course it's alright. I'd love it if you stayed here,” you told him.
He looked at you and said, "Y/N, I lost you already and I don't want to lose you again. Will you be my girl?” 
You nodded and said, “Of course,” and held his hand tighter. He got up and came over to your seat. He kissed you and grabbed your face. 
He grabbed the plates and said, “You do enough for me, let me clean.” You stood up, ready to help him. He protested and said, “Go, on the couch. Sit down with the dog. Sit.” You reluctantly sat on the couch with your drink. 
He was done doing the dishes and came over to you. “You ready?” he asked you. You nodded and stood up. You grabbed your purse and drove him to his place. He got out and collected his stuff. He opened his garage and you saw his car, a Corvette Z06. He came over to you and said, “Wanna race?” You laughed and said, “Good luck, this is an AMG. See ya at home baby.” 
You made it home first and he pulled up to your house. “Good job, Ms AMG.” he said and grabbed his stuff from his car. 
He put his stuff in your room and hugged you from behind. “You and me, together forever.”

@lesbiancassius' (very late) february reads
yes I will do this monthly now.
books (as it turns out, I was busy. one book)
Enter Ghost, Isabella Hammad - An actor, Sonia, returns to visit her sister Haneen in Haifa and gets caught up in playing Gertrude in a Hamlet production in the West Bank. Stellar.
short fiction & poetry
Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole, Isabel J. Kim - obsessed with this on title alone. It has such a feel to it in the way it moves that I envy.
Parthenogenesis, Piya Patel - horror that makes me want to peel out of my skin and/or get a hysterectomy.
Eschatology, Eve L. Ewing - poem that was circulating recently and God. Fuck, dude. Yeah. Yeah.
Ouroboros, Megan Xing - The to-do lists in this got me because I was having my little freak out before my show went up where you think you can fix everything with to-do lists. Also heavily feeling replacing ineffective psych meds with yogurt, a pickle, and two advil.
I also read Cancer Buffet by Mary Hannah Terzino and Soft Opening by Elle Nash, but I was tired and don’t remember them.
(some) articles
Who Was Barbie? (A Symposium), n+1 magazine - this cemented to me that I truly, truly do not care about Barbie or the Barbie movie and if I have to hear anything about it ever again I'm smashing a bowl on purpose
A bunch of Hera Lindsay Bird’s advice column, which is delightful.
Let’s talk about Goodreads, Nicole Brinkley. There are many days I am glad I do not want to pursue a career as solely an author of novels. Godspeed to the authors out there you're braver than I will ever be.
Saving a Life, Patricia Lockwood - my god I have got to read a Patricia Lockwood book, and also my god getting grievously ill on vacation is one of my greatest fears so this one made me a little bit crazy.
The Secret Life: On the poet Molly Brodak, Patricia Lockwood - again, my god, I need to read a Patricia Lockwood book.
A Final Checklist Before You Print up Your Play, Rick Roberts - this reminded me so much of Joshua McGuire’s Rules For Writing Libretto, which I think of a lot.
“I think the word is dignity” — Rachel Corrie’s Letters from Gaza — I don’t know what to say. Read these if you can. They’re striking.
The Sexual Status of Aeschylus’ Cassandra, Paula Debnar - I can put an academic paper here you're not the boss of me. why I opened this one I don't remember but I was fervently texting friends in the middle of a certainly unrelated class about it because I've never been normal about Kassandra and Klytemnestra and I'm not going to start now.
tv/movies
Rewatching Severance, slowly.
Rewatching Sort Of, less slowly - this is probably niche to non-Canadian readers but it is a very good show.
Watched The Prince, which was a long time coming, and then wrote a paper about it. Bless.
tbr/nightstand
in the midst of Salvage the Bones, which is of course very good
Helen of Troy: from Homer to Hollywood
I'm gonna be rereading like every play off my Shakespeare class syllabus for the final which I wish I was more excited about

ooh wrestling match recs? any and all possible
ok i'm gonna start with the two matches that got me into wrestling. a few friends kept sharing wrestling gifs that got me 👀 but i didn't know how to actually Watch Wrestling because it's not something that's on TV here or easily accessible for someone who's got no idea what a wrestling match even looks like. i had watched the cmjf dog collar match and some orange cassidy matches on youtube without any context or understanding but these two matches got me asking around how i could watch this AEW thing:
mox vs ef‎fy at gcw homecoming 2022 [watch link, use an adblocker, starts around 3:22:00; cagematch link]. i'm not gonna lie obviously the horny spots drew me in but when i tried to search for match clips i was SO flabbergasted about the outrage about this match and specifically at mox that i just kinda... wanted to know more about moxley and why he would Do That lmao. i didnt understand wrestling or wrestling fans and i didnt understand why the dog collar match stuff was fine for them but mox kissing someone on an indie show wasn't. i still kind of don't understand
mox vs yuta's rampage match // bcc initiation in 2022 [watch link uncensored on youtube somehow; cagematch link]. the gushing on that man... the way yuta keeps stealing BCC moves... the way yuta keeps kicking out and mox gets increasingly frustrated... the psychosexual intensity of it all... the crowd energy... the fact that yuta doesnt allow his mom to watch this match!! after this match is when regal and bryan come out to shake yuta's hands and accept him into the BCC and he writes the letters 'BCC' in blood on his chest, which is insane cult behaviour
and then some more general recs:
yuta vs lee moriarty's 52 minute match in 2021 at beyond project reality [watch link, starts around 2:12:00]
stardom dream queendom 2023 [watch link; and cagematch link]: specifically megan bayne vs giulia (starts around 2:02:00) and maika vs suzu suzuki (starts around 3:16:00)
willow nightingale vs athena at death before dishonor 2023 [watch link, use an adblocker, starts around 2:30:00; cagematch link]
TJPW aquarium wrestling [watch link; and cagematch link]. they wrestle in an aquarium (where there's also normal visitors for some reason???) and there's shoot beluga whale interference. repeatedly. this show is SO funny.

Hiii I heard u have some sally face brainrot... welcome to the club. Anyways, I was wondering if I could request some sal x reader headcanons where him and the reader were friends before the incident, drifted apart but later reunited and became a couple?? something like that. Thanks !!
Hello, anon! Thanks for welcoming me into the club, and for feeding my brainrot TwT - I really liked your request, and I'm changing some things in the canon after the incident because Sally deserves a happy ending, dammit >:(
I had to explain some things and stuff, but I like how it came out <3 (bestie help I reached the character limit TWICE with this)
TW: cult stuff, character death (Larry), panic attacks briefly mentioned || GN!Reader x Sal Fisher
NEXT PART
BEFORE:
You guys met in high school, a bit after the bologna incident, you were already friends with Larry and the gang, but not nearly as close to them as they were to each other. Honestly you always found the Addison Apartments to be creepy, so you tried not to go there too much.
When Sally moved in and school started again, you went to introduce yourself, noticing the picture of Gizmo he was going to hang on his locker, and complimenting the cat and his taste in bands.
After that you guys ended up talking more, especially because you had English and History together, and lunch period too. A month after that, he invited you to his apartment, to meet his cat in person, and to hang out with him and Larry.
It was then that you found out about everything, the cult, the whole ghosts thing and how lots of stuff was connected. You knew there was something wrong with Nockfell, but not to that degree.
They reassured you that they were taking care of it, and you tried to not freak out the best you could. Your parents didn’t interact with many people in the city, both working in cities nearby, and travelling for work a lot, so you didn’t think they knew about any of that stuff.
You started going to visit more often, meeting Megan and ending up friends with the little ghost, which made you believe everything Sal told you even more, not that you would doubt them, seeing the weird basement was enough to believe every word. She even let you take a picture of her, with the promise that you don’t show it to anyone.
Apart from that, your friendship was really like any other, with you guys spending time playing video games together and listening to metal. You were starting to develop a crush on the blue haired boy, his sense of humour was similar to yours and, despite what people at school said, he was very sweet.
At some point, you started to notice him acting differently around you, he’d stutter a bit if you came too close, and you could swear you saw his ears getting pink whenever you complimented him on anything, be it his clothes or a good grade on a hard test.
His eye would linger on you a bit longer than normal when you guys would hang out, and you started to notice Larry snickering when you passed by them. You both seemed to have feelings for each other, it was only a matter of time before one of you would make a move.
Five months into your friendship, Sally showed you his face. You had never really insisted that he shows it to you, and that’s probably what got him comfortable. You guys were both chilling in his room, Larry was spending the weekend with his mom at his grandma’s house, so you guys were alone.
Sal asked you if it was okay for him to take his mask off, and asked you to look away for a second, before telling you you could look. You just smiled at him and went back to the game you guys were playing, and he felt a weight being lifted from his shoulders.
It was a few weeks after finals that you received the news, your parents decided to move to a different city, telling you just as summer vacations started. You had to say goodbye to the gang and, even though you tried to keep in contact, it seemed like none of your letters got to them, always being sent back with the envelope ripped apart.
As time passed, you ended up moving on, finishing high school in your new city and making some new friends. But you never managed to forget your friends in Nockfell, and soon enough, you were starting college.
THE RESOLUTION:
It was a year and a few months after you started college that you saw the news. At first, you couldn’t believe what you were seeing. Sally was never a bad person, and he wouldn’t do something like that… unless it was absolutely necessary.
You watched the whole trial, and all of the interviews, Sally looked terrible, his voice was rough and he seemed to be on the verge of tears most of the time.
As you watched your high school friend talk about everything that happened, you started to remember it better, and, just as college vacations started, Sal Fisher was declared guilty. They sentenced him to death, and nothing anyone said helped with the case.
Suddenly, you remembered something you’ve never let go of. Something that would definitely prove Sal’s innocence. You searched for the old website listing Megan and her mom’s death, getting as many pictures of the little girl as you could, and started digging around on your own stuff, finding the picture you were looking for.
The old polaroid, a bit faded with time, showed you, Sal and Megan, the little girl smiling excitedly for the picture, at her old apartment at Addison’s. You uploaded it to your computer and your phone, scared that the physical thing would somehow disappear, and headed to Nockfell for the first time in years.
It took you some time to find the exact place he was sent to while he waited for the execution day, but you managed it. You also found Neil’s address, heading there as soon as you could, and telling him you had a way to help. Ash was there too, and she seemed anxious to see you.
you told them about your plan, showing them the picture and earning a gasp from Ash, who hadn’t managed to see any ghosts until then. She mentioned something about Larry and left in a hurry, taking a Sanity’s Fall CD and a record player with her.
She came back hours later, with a picture of a translucent Larry, looking older and more tired than you remembered, before telling you guys about the tree house and how she burned it down.
You guys go to the authorities, showing them the pictures. They try to dismiss you, but the press is still lingering around trying to interview Sally, so they manage to get the pictures from you guys and interview you about it. You say everything you know, showing the pictures and explaining most of it.
It goes live, and so the cult is unable to actually stop you from showing the pictures of Megan, Larry, the cultist space in the basement of Addison’s Apartments, and all you guys learned about this cult. It was very risky, and you knew people from the cult were going to go after you, but you didn’t care about that, you wanted to help Sally out.
People that had weird experiences with the cult, the family of those kids that were killed all those years ago, and a few people from Nockfell, come forward with their experiences, and it ends up working. People that believe in the supernatural start looking into it more, and a second trial is opened after the insistence of the public.
Now, with all the pieces of the puzzle put together, you guys manage to bring to light the whole situation with the cult in Nockfell, and the government can’t ignore it anymore. Sally’s second trial goes smoothly and, after a testimony from Travis as someone from the cult, he’s finally free.

Chapter characters: Lee, Josie, Ethan, Megan, Craig, Cyrus,
Salem, Massachusetts
March 7, 2023
The Lake House
"Hey, Jo, it's me again. I wish you'd at least talk to me. It's been a week. I see your things here in the guest room that you left and....everyday...I...I stare at the note you wrote. Your presence is everywhere, especially in my heart where no one else will ever be...I mean that baby. It's only you, it's only ever been you. Did you find my letter yet? I put it in your purse the morning after we had first made love. I...I need you to read that. I meant every word. Please, call me back. Let me explain things like I know I should have long ago. I'm ready now because...I can't lose you. I won't. I love you so much miss Massachusetts. Forever....and god...I miss you." Lee softly whispered as he closed his watery eyes.
Tumblr media
Just as Lee hung up, the phone rang. He picked it up so fast, thinking it was you that he forgot to check the caller ID.
"Jo baby!?"
"No, Sorry Lee, it's Britt."
"Oh....hey, have you talked to her? Is she alright? I..." Lee hopefully blurted out.
"Lee, no, that's not why I am calling...and of course she's not alright, but I a not going to talk to you about her. The conference has been set for the negligence case. It's next week."
"So, the results of Henrietta's autopsy are back? What did it say???"
"I cannot tell you that Lee, you know that."
"Jesus Britt, just tell me if she died because of something I did. You know how long I have been waiting for this. I need to know."
"I'm sorry, I can't. Just a head's up, Mr. Carpenter will be attending, which that was to be expected. It's at 10am on Monday the 13th."
"The 13th...great." he said sarcastically. "Well at least it's not a Friday. Alright...I will be there."
All because of you, Lee had become superstitious about things when he never used to be, for he had witnessed way too many things to not believe, such as all the crazy relevant signs regarding you and him and also the thing pertaining to his parents and Jacob.
"Hey, can you at least tell Jo? I really need her there...I..I understand if she declines but...could you at least tell her? She won't call me back and I don't know if she's even listening to my voicemails or reading my texts and she hasn't even been online."
"If I see her. I'm not going to just text her about it. This is all between you and Josie. A word of advice though, as I've told you before. Get your shit together Lee. She's the best thing that's ever happened to you and you definitely do not deserve her. I gotta go."
"Yeah I know she is. You don't have to remin.....hello?"
Britt had hung up which only pissed Lee off. He was still angry with her for blabbing her drunken mouth to you at his dad's funeral reception about his one night with her many years ago and also telling you about seeing him with Ethan and Jason once upon a time.
"Fucking Britch!" he shouted, slamming down the receiver. Lee owned an old corded land line phone and there was nothing quite like the satisfaction of hearing the ringing bang it made upon impact.
Lee sent you another text, then got dressed and headed out, for there was something special he wanted to do for you.
"I had you. Last night I had a dream that felt like a memory. A glimpse of what could have been. Crossed signals from another life, where instead of all of this, I had you....and life was exquisitely simple and we were desperately happy. It was no dream. It was real. We had all that. I had you....and it's all I still want. Tell me it's not too late."
You had stopped at your mom's to gather the rest of your things, realizing that some of the items you wanted were at Lee's lake house after listening to his most recent of many voicemails and he was the most valuable one there. Were your things that important to risk seeing him? It would completely derail your out of sight, out of mind tactic which you already knew would eventually fail because you just weren't strong enough to stay away from him. Every minute of everyday was pure hell and there was no way you could just get your things and go. You didn't even know how you had managed to make it an entire week. You weren't sleeping, you weren't eating, you weren't talking to anyone except Britt and your dreams were consumed of Lee's face in the few moments you actually able to drift off. Dreams that were just like the text he had just sent you and now...now he said he's ready to talk...but were you? If what he had to tell you scared him this bad, then honestly, you were also scared to death to know the truth that you so desperately wished for. Well, isn't that what Daughtry crammed into your head at least fifty times this week at random times? the song 'It's Not Over'. Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all... and then some you don't want....
You sat on your bed and began digging through your purse to find this letter he said he put in there. How did you not see it? You soon understood after rummaging through your pile of junk and finding it on the bottom. You swear you had everything but the kitchen sink in there. You had to roll your eyes and lightly smile in wondering how the hell he ever thought you would find it. Why didn't he just give it to you? Maybe it was intentional? Maybe he wanted you to find it at a time you needed it the most...like now.
As you reluctantly opened it, knowing how bad it was going to hurt, you could smell Lee's cologne which hurt the most of all. You brought it to your nose and inhaled him in deeply, then began reading..
"My Dearest Jo,
One day our eyes met and you smiled at me and I had to pause for a moment because I felt safe, and I had not recognized that feeling. It was as if I just knew you would be standing there when I looked up again, and you were, literally in my house. I don't even have the right words to describe this to you, but I just knew, somehow. Despite all of the odds that have worked so cruelly against me, I knew in my heart that I had finally found the one. I truly feel that you and I love with a love that is more than love. The first time I realized I was in love with you, it was a night I couldn't fall asleep, because I knew that my new and strange reality was better than my dreams. Our tight hugs, our late night conversations, our almost kisses, I remember it all, and sometimes...a tear falls while doing so. You gave me something that no one ever had before. You gave me peace. Like a river that had been rushing, pulled by the current for too long, you made my waters still. I found rest in your arms.
I love you to the moon and back and beyond all the stars in the sky."
Forever,
Lee
Now you were just ugly crying as you clutched the letter against your pounding chest. This man was for real and he had been all yours. No one had ever spoken such beautiful and heartfelt words to you. No one had ever touched you or looked at you the way he had. No one could ever ease your anxiety, no matter what they did and how hard they tried, but it all seemed to have disappeared when he was with you, for his arms made it all go away, just like on the elevator. This was where you were supposed to be. He was home to you. Was it too late like he asked? Could he truly forgive you for selfishly walking out on him?
You needed to try and be rational this time because your irrational decisions are what got you in this mess in the first place, so you decided to go take the things you had back to your apartment and think it all over with out the presence of your sinister sibling in your orbit. Down the stairs you went, trying to ignore Megan who sat in the kitchen, talking on the phone and smoking a cigarette. That part, you could not ignore.
"Put that out! Mom will have a shit fit and I don't need to worry about you burning the house down with her in it."
"I gotta go babe. See you soon." she told the anonymous person on the line, then hung up and turned to you.
"You don't get to tell me what to do. You don't live here." she cockily smiled and took another hit, audaciously blowing the smoke right at you as you angrily stood over her.
Every ounce of rage you had pent up inside of you as you ripped it from her hand and ran it under the kitchen faucet.
"What the fuck! That was my last one!"
"Damn right it was! Go outside and smoke, preferably down on the street corner, doing what you do best, where you could earn some money to buy more instead of mooching off mom!"
"Oh that's just great Josie, coming from the beloved daughter who has all of Daddy's and Jason's money and don't have to work!"
"Gee Megan, do you ever wonder why that is??? You've been gone for years and then just pop in here when Jason dies. Did you really think he would leave you anything after all you have done?? And Dad's money is controlled by mom per his wishes. And I DO work, remember?? Or did you forget the family businesses I help with that you abandoned??? I guess you'll have to keep whoring it up."
"You entitled little bitch! So special aren't you?? And mom has control over your precious little boat too that by the way, she's selling!"
"I am special Megan, because I don't use my family or do shitty things to them! The only reason you're even here is because of mom allowing it since you're her daughter but she still knows what you are. A fucking freeloader....and mom would never sell Jason's boat. She would have told me first of all so you can stop lying just to piss me off."
"Ohhh no no no! No lies, you'll see. She wants no ties to his lifestyle and so you know, I do have a man now and he's quite rich thank you. A sugar daddy per se. How's that area going for you sis??"
Megan's grin was telling, as if she already knew about you and Lee's split and it distracted you from what she just said about the Haunted Star.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean??"
"Oh nothing. Just an observation. You just can't seem to keep a man's interest solely on you can you? First Gerry, now Lee. At least Gerry though, didn't screw you over for a guy."
"You need to shut your mouth before I shut it for you." you snarled though clenched teeth. "You don't know what the hell you are talking about!"
"Oh yes I do, and much more."
Just then, the rumble of a motorcycle pulled up and stupidly made you think for one second it was Jason until it began obnoxiously beeping.
"Gotta run! Ta Ta.." Megan jested and trotted out the door.
Out of sheer curiosity, you walked outside to see who the mystery man was and you soon wished you hadn't. There was Ethan on a Harley, black tee, no helmet, just like your brother would do.
He revved it up and smiled wide as you gaped at him.
"Ooooh she looks porangi." you heard him tell Megan who laughed hysterically and hopped on behind him, then off they went as Ethan winked at you.
Tumblr media
After you collected your dropped jaw, you raced inside and called your mom, for she needed to be warned about Ethan. Even if she knew about him, she surely didn't know who he was.
"Mom! Call me back asap! You need to kick Megan out. Did you know about the guy she is hanging around??? He's bad news mom and I also need to talk to you about something she told me which better not be true. Call me! Love you."
You gathered your stuff and headed back to your apartment, completely mind blown over what you had just witnessed, so much so that you were trembling all over. Megan was a real tool and now it made sense pertaining to her not so subtle hints and knowing about Lee's sexuality. Ethan's been telling her things and surely, he was just using her to get to you and Lee, not that you cared about her one bit, for she deserved everything she would get by keeping company like Ethan.
"Stupid girl!!!" you shouted, wiping tears of anger from your eyes. You wanted to call Lee so bad, but first, you were going to go and calm down, then go from there.
In your frenzy of racing up the stairs of the apartment complex, you turned the corner and did what you did best, clumsily tripped over your own two feet and dropped your box of stuff, spilling it all over the hallway floor.
There, by the elevator gate stood Craig with some much older man that you had never seen before, sporting a pony tail of long silver hair, a matching goatee and a suit and tie. He looked at you, then Craig and back at you with surprise, then stepped forward.
Tumblr media
Craig immediately rushed in front of him to help you pick up the scattered stuff.
"Hey there Jo, are you alright?"
"Uh...y...yeah.." you stuttered through your embarrassment as you knelt down to assist.
Craig looked up at you a few times, then quietly spoke. "Are you sure? You...you've been crying..."
"Oh, that. No. Bad allergies, that's all." you quickly responded, keeping your head lowered while piling the stuff back in the box.
"I hope I didn't startle you there miss...Jo is it?" the stranger asked with an attempt to know your name.
You stood up and Craig handed you the box. "No, no...I...I was just in a hurry and not paying attention....and...it's...just Josie."
Craig nervously chuckled, offering a cute smile. "Ahhh yes, that's right. Just Josie."
"Where are your manners Craig? Aren't you going to introduce me to your beautiful friend here?" the man smelling of old spice asked, gazing at you in a way that creeped you the fuck out.
Something in Craig's eyes and sudden change of demeanor told you that he did not want to and it was becoming clear to you that you had caught them both off guard. There were also these tiny beads of sweat forming on Craig's forehead.
"Uh...yeah. Sorry um, Josie, this is....my father...Cyrus."
Cyrus. Why did that name sound familiar? It certainly wasn't common....but somewhere, you've heard it.
He stretched his arm out, desiring you to shake his hand in which you reluctantly took, for bad vibes is all you got from him. His hand was large and clammy, pretty much how he looked in general.
"It's...n...nice to meet you." you softly said and quickly retracted your hand, cringing inside.
"Oh the pleasure is all mine...Josie. Do you...have a last name...just Josie?"
You glanced at Craig, who's eyes refrained from yours and rested on the box you were holding as his perspiring was becoming a bit more profuse. This man, his father, apparently made Craig feel the way you did...but why?
"Uh...it's....March."
Craig's hands went inside his pockets and his head lowered even more as Cyrus's eyes slightly widened, then swayed over to his son.
"Well...Miss March, again, it was a pleasure. I must be on my way now. I will speak with you later...Craig."
The tone of how he said your last name and the way he once again looked at Craig, had your skin crawling.
Cyrus then left, leaving an anxious Craig to try and avoid you.
"Well, I am sorry to have kept you. You said you were in a hurry so I will let you get back to whatever it was you were doing." he rambled out and attempted to quickly walk away.
"Hey, wait." you called to him, causing him to freeze at his door and slowly turn around.
"Maybe I should be asking if you are the one who is alright?" you then asked.
"Who me?"
You giggled. "Well, you are the only one out here aren't you?"
Craig's head dropped as he chuckled. "Yeahhh, I guess I am. No, I'm fine. Really."
Liar, you thought. "Well, ok...hey I um...well, you asked me once before if we could talk again and share some wine. Would you like to?"
His hands went to his hips as a befuddled look graced his face. "You mean...now?"
"No time like the present. I really could use a glass or two after the day I've had and try to relax a bit. Seems you could...too?"
"I uh, thought you were busy?"
"Yes, well, I was, to try and gather my thoughts and all. If you can't or don't wan to, it's alri.."
"No, no. Sure. Come on in."
Craig politely opened the door, allowing you to enter first and bee-lined straight for the wine.
"Make yourself at home. Red wine good for you?"
"Yes, that's fine, thank you."
You sat the box down and then walked over to him.
"Once again, where are my manners. Here, have a seat."
Craig handed you your wine and pulled a chair over for you, then he plopped down upon a stool, seemingly still very nervous as he drank down his glass in two gulps and poured another from the bottle he brought with him.
"Craig...are...you sure you're ok?"
"Huh? Oh...yep." he simply said as he nodded with a smile, also seemingly very distracted.
Tumblr media
"Enough about me. How about you? Do you want to tell me why you lied about having allergies?"
"When you tell me why you're lying about being fine."
"Oooh. Touche'. Alright then. But ladies first. I insist."
"Ok fine. You're right. I had been crying. Seems to be all I do anymore. I don't know. It's a long story that would bore you to death."
"You hardly bore me. In fact, not even a little bit. I actually find you quite intriguing and I'd like to get to know you, so here's the deal. You tell me what you want to. No pressure, no judgment, just a set of ears and any advice if you ask for it."
Craig's face was sincere and patient, especially his kind and soft sky blue eyes that studied your pained deep gold ones, trying to figure you out. Amber, he thought, was the best description he could think of as he became a bit lost in them....and for some reason unbeknownst to you, you felt you could trust the man you'd only spoken to less than a handful of times.
"Well...I guess I could start with my sister, which I despise even calling her that. Mickey and Mallory would be a better fit since that's pretty much what I witnessed today as she took off with a complete psycho. A match made in hell."
"Ahhh, Natural Born Killers. Good flick. She's that bad eh?"
"Yeah, and much more. She's done so many terrible things to me and to people I care about and this creep, who's also caused me and those I love nothing but trouble, is suddenly in her life, well, probably has been for awhile and I know it's intentional, just to get to me and Lee."
"Lee...your boyfriend right?"
Your eyes drifted away in sadness, not knowing how to answer that now.
"Well....no, I mean, yes...or he was...oh my god, I don't even know right now." you stammered as your eyes began to sting. No way, you weren't going to cry in front of him. Nope. The more you told yourself that, the harder it became to stop it until you just broke down, immediately throwing your palms over your face.
Tumblr media
Craig's expression instantly turned sympathetic and he quietly got up to get you a tissue, then he sweetly kneeled before you.
"Here sweetheart."
You couldn't move. Mostly because of humiliation.
"I..I never do this!" you loudly muttered through your hands in frustration. "I never cry in front of complete strangers."
His soft fingers, sprinkled with a rainbow of paint, gently took your wrist and coaxed you out of hiding.
"I'm not exactly a complete stranger and as I said, there's no judgment here. Your secret is safe with me. I won't tell if you don't." Craig assured you as he offered you the tissue with a warm comforting smile.
He actually managed to bring a light smile to your lips and you humbly took the tissue, then quickly wiped your mascara streaked tears away.
"I..I am so sorry. This is so embarrassing."
"Hey, no. Don't do that. Don't apologize for being human. A person can only take so much and sometimes, a good cry is needed, or even hurling a smurf against the wall in a bout of rage and watching it splatter can also suffice."
You hadn't laughed so hard all week as you remembered him throwing the can of blue paint against the wall and telling him it looked like he murdered a smurf. In fact, you hadn't even laughed at all, or even smiled, yet Craig managed to bring both out of you in a matter of 2 minutes.
"There...there we go." he chuckled. "That's better. We can stop talking if you want."
"Oh no, you're not getting out of it that easy mister." you giggled. "But...to finish up, this asshat my twisted sister is hanging around, he's the entire reason my relationship is in shambles. He's a manipulator, a liar and he's dangerous. He put his own brother in the hospital and got away with it because everyone is scared of him, rightfully so of course, but yeah, he uh, he is jealous of me and wants Lee all to himself, but Lee...he don't want anything to do with him...or at least he claims he don't..."
"But you...don't believe him?"
"I want to...I...I don't know Craig. What I do know is Ethan will stop at nothing to get what he wants."
"E..Ethan?" he asked, seemingly stunned.
"Yeah, do...you know who I am talking about?"
"He wouldn't happen to have long dark hair, usually in one of those man bun things, British accent?"
"Jesus...yeah that would be him. How...how do you know him??"
Craig stood up and went to get more wine. He knew him alright, because of Jason.
"You're right Josie...he's very bad news. Have you ever heard of the Zacchara's?"
"Well yeah, my uh, my brother knew them, Johnny in particular and I know Ethan hung around him...but...how do you know this?"
Craig gulped down his wine, then nonchalantly turned with a forced smile.
"Most do. Massachusetts is crawling with mafia. So, is this Ethan terrorizing you as well?" he asked, swirling the wine around in his glass, almost as if he were becoming angered.
"I suppose that would be an appropriate term. I mean, he definitely harasses me and Lee. As I said, he had the audacity to show up today at my own mother's house to get Megan."
"Well...if he comes around here or bothers you again, let me know. I'll handle him."
"That's...very kind of you, but really, you don't want to get involved with this dude and I really don't want you to be...I mean...he stabbed his own brother..."
"His kind don't scare me, but thank you, for...caring. Don't get much of that in my life."
Craig went and poured another glass, then sat down, looking a bit glum.
"Here Jo...or just Josie I mean, have another glass yourself." he offered, holding the bottle out to you with his arm a bit wobbly, clearly feeling the effects of the red vintage he had been drinking rather quickly.
"Thank you. Soooo....are you speaking about your...father possibly? You just...seem a little nervous around him and even a little anxious."
"Well, I guess that's my cue to talk now." he chuckled. "But, I'd rather not speak about him if that's alright. I didn't even expect to see him here today. Just like the other dude, he just showed up after being...away...for a few years and well...he's also...kind of an asshole." he said with a grin.
Tumblr media
"Oh, well of course you don't have to to talk about him or anything you don't want, just as you told me. May I ask then...about your little girl? Have you seen her yet?"
"Blaise...no. She's my heart. I seemed to have lost all inspiration in my art since she's been gone. I know there's a possibility she's not even mine, but it doesn't change how I feel about her." he said as he took out his phone, looking so defeated that it broke your heart.
Tumblr media
"Of course it doesn't change how you feel. She'll always be your little girl, even if she possibly don't share your blood. I know someone who is going through that and he loves his son just the same. I look around here at all your work and honestly, I think it's amazing. You're very talented Craig. Much better than my artwork." you chuckled. "Maybe...I don't know, what if you put everything that you're feeling about your daughter into your work, you know, do it for her?"
"Pretty words." he softly said as he picked up his glass. "But...thank you. I appreciate you trying to cheer me up. You're sweet, you know that?"
Tumblr media
"So you're an artist too huh?" Craig continued, seemingly not wanting to talk about Blaise anymore.
"I wouldn't exactly call it that. You...you're an artist. Me? not so much. My work is nowhere as good as all this."
"Well, I'll tell you what. How about if I come over to your apartment tomorrow and I'll take a look at it...I mean, if that's is alright with you?"
"You...want to see my work? Really? Uh, well, ok. But just don't laugh because...I warned you." you giggled again.
"Yes, I really want to see it. And...if you ever want to use my studio, just ask. I don't have a problem with that. Also, so you know, I would never laugh at you. You're far too beautiful, especially on the inside. You're a rare gem just Josie."
"I uh..."
Your phone beeped, saving you from the words you couldn't find. It was Lee, which made your butterflies go flutter happy.
"Hey...I am sorry to keep texting and calling but...can I please see you? I...I have something for you and I just...I just really want to see your face. I am down at the pay and park garage by your place. I'll wait for about an hour. Jo...I love you so much. Please come."
Craig observed your reaction as you read the text and could tell you were going to leave when you quickly drank down your wine.
"Saved by the bell...again." he softly laughed.
Not really, you thought as your anxiety jumped into high gear knowing Lee was just down the block. You weren't prepared to see him and hear the dreadful truth he said he was ready to tell you. The truth that you knew would back up Ethan's claims. If Lee felt nothing for him, then why did he hide it from you?
Releasing a heavy sigh, you clutched your chest and closed your eyes, attempting to breathe in through your nose and out your mouth, for if you didn't try to control it, Craig was about to witness a full on panic attack.
"Whoa hey there sweetheart, what's happening?" he asked and swiftly came right to you, cupping your face in his hands.
You don't know what happened at that moment as you found yourself pressing your body against his, your cheek against his chest and wrapping your arms tightly around his waist. Craig's heartbeat was what you were in need of, the soothing sound of something steady and stable, just like you did with Lee.
After the initial shock wore off, Craig's gaping mouth closed, then he slowly and hesitantly let his arms embrace your tiny trembling body. He didn't know what else to do, so he quietly stood still, keeping you in your safe zone until you were ready to release him.
Craig's body was firm and muscular, but the way he held you was as if you were a fragile flower. He reminded you somewhat of Jason. Not in how he acted or in his looks, although he also had blue eyes like your brother, but in his height, build and clothing of the typical black tee and jeans. And what in the world was the cologne you were inhaling?? It was heavenly and intoxicating...possibly Dolce Gabbana? Whatever it was, it was calming, just as the thumping of his heart was and it took your shakes away.
"You ok?" Craig softly whispered, afraid to move as his chin rested lightly on your head while listening carefully to your breaths that were now beginning to relax.
Once you came out of your state of panic, you panicked again at what you had done and flew back out of his arms.
"Oh god, Craig, I...I am SOOO sorry. I...I...I...I sometimes...get these attacks....anxiety and all and...and....heartbeats...I go for heartbeats...they're peaceful and soothing and...and...."
"Heyyyy, try to relax so you don't have another one." he calmly said, placing his hand on your cheek. "I don't know what happened, but...you're safe here, I'll make sure of that. As far as heartbeats, well, you did listen to your mother's for nine months so it makes sense why you would subconsciously seek that out."
Or maybe it was just him that you found peaceful and soothing.
"Yeah, I suppose that makes sense...I just feel so ridiculous, jumping on you like that. I can only imagine what you must be thinking of me, some hot mess that you now regret befriending."
"Well, I won't lie, you're definitely hot, but I don't see you as some mess. I am actually thinking, what could have happened to this sweet girl to cause her defenses to come out in such a way? and also, you...think of me as a friend now?"
Was he for real? Like, a good real? He seemed to say and do all the right things and to genuinely care. Maybe it was because he had been through what you had, being cheated on and made to feel worthless....and having to question how someone feels about you.
"Yeah, uh, I guess I do. You've been so kind to me, which a lot of people just aren't anymore. Annnd, you didn't freak out on me when I freaked out, which I've had my share of that over the years from people who were closest to me. So..yeah, I'd like to call you my friend. I...I trust you and that says a lot in itself, cause that certainly don't come easy for me."
Craig looked quite befuddled and even a bit bashful as he smiled and lowered his head before bringing his baby blues back to you.
"Well now, it would seem I was correct about you being a rare gem. I totally get everything you just said and well, I didn't freak out because you needed comfort, not panic. Thank you Josie. I am honored to be called your friend and to BE your friend.
"Alright, it is settled then...friend." you smiled. "But..."
"Ohh, there's the but.." he chuckled.
"No." you laughed. "Seriously though, I hate to do this, sorry....BUT...I gotta go. I will see you tomorrow then?"
"Sure. Just shoot me a text when you want me to stop by. Thank you Josie...for spending time with me. It was really nice to have someone to talk to."
"Thank you as well, for what you did for me. It was nice to see you and talk to you again. Try to have a good rest of your day ok? You can always text me if you need anything, I don't mind."
Craig then walked you out like a gentleman, checking all of your surroundings. "I'll do that. See you later little lady."
Your heart was racing again as you walked into the car garage, which was full of cars but you didn't see Lee's or him as you walked around. Surely he wouldn't have left already?
Quickly, you texted him, simply stating you were there. The beep of his phone had you spinning around to see him approaching you with a humble smile.
Tumblr media
"Jo...you came..." he said, slightly out of breath from hurrying to get to you.
"I...yeah...where's your car?"
"I drove my dad's old truck today."
"Oh...well, why did you park here instead of at my place?"
"I came to see Gordon, he works upstairs. Hoping to come to some arrangement with him over the farm."
"I see, well, how's that going?"
"I don't know, he's out right now, so I figured I'd just wait around and....are we really going to share small talk here like we are old friends catching up Jo?"
"I uh, well I don't know what you want me to say?"
"Maybe that you miss me and still love me? That you want to try and work this out, because I know I sure do."
"Do you? Really?"
"Jo please. Baby you know I do."
"Honestly Lee, I don't know anything, which became quite clear last week."
"Yes, last week when you just....left me, not giving me the chance to explain. You won't even talk to me."
"I gave you every chance to explain for how long now Lee, and you didn't and that alone tells me all I need to know."
Lee stepped up to you with his hands in his pockets and sad eyes.
"What you need to know is I love you, only you. Did you get my letter? Did you read it?"
Tumblr media
"Yes, I did. It was very beautiful. Said all the right things."
"So you don't believe any of it? Jo, my god. I wrote that to you after we first made love. I wrote that from my heart Jo."
"Lee, I know you did. I'm not saying that you don't feel something for me, I'm..."
"FEEL something? You really don't believe I love you do you? Ethan wins again and you're letting him."
"No, YOU'RE letting him...and speaking of Ethan, he was at my mom's fucking house today, picking up Megan."
"What???"
"Yeah...you heard that right. He was on a motorcycle and gave me the smuggest look when they left, and why? because he can. He can do whatever the hell he wants because NO one will stand up to him and now he's using my naive idiot sister to get under my skin even more."
"Jo...I am so sorry. I know, it's all my fault and.."
"You think??"
"Can we...go inside and talk about this...please?"
"Lead the way." you softly snapped and followed him up the stairs.
Lee took you into a small office room and closed the door, then he somewhat sat upon the desk and gazed at you with his sparkling sapphires. A gaze that made you just want to run into his arms and madly make out with him
"Jo...I really am truly so sorry, for everything that I have put you through and still am. I never meant for any of this to happen. Please tell me you believe that at least?"
His pleading eyes made you soften towards him. "Of course I know you never meant for any of this to happen...but...it did. Why Lee, why couldn't you just tell me the truth, ALL of it? That's what gets to me the most. It makes me feel, no, it makes me believe that you have unresolved feelings for Ethan and I can't do it Lee...be second choice again or some stand in until you get bored. I need your heart to beat only for me."
"God no Jo, that is not what you are, nor have you ever been. Can't you see it? Can't you even try to? I'm here Jo. I've always been here...for you. Not him. I'm here, begging you to believe me. Why would I do this if my heart did not beat only for you? Sometimes, I swear it's going to stop without you by my side. An entire week Jo, you've been gone and it felt like a year and...my heartbeat right now...it's racing, it's alive again because you're here, feel it..."
Lee reached out and took your hand, pulling you to him and placing your palm on his chest as he held his hand over yours, gazing up at you with eyes of a lost little boy.
He was right, his heartbeat was rapid and strong and god, so was yours in that moment, being that close to him, feeling him, smelling him. Every ounce of control that you had possessed for that entire week was now gone as your hands went to his face, pulling him into a passionate kiss.
Tumblr media
His supple lips, his tantalizing taste of mint gum and Drakkar aftershave rocked your core and if you culd have made love to him right there on that desk, you would have....but he suddenly stopped the kiss as he stood up, pulling your hands away.
"No, Jo, I can't do this."
Tumblr media
"What? Why?" you asked in disbelief as you studied the look upon his face. A look of confusion in which you then sarcastically laughed. "Oh...it's him, that's why. Just as I thought."
"What? No Jo...it's another man's cologne that I smell all over you."
That just threw you for a loop as you had forgotten you were innocently just in Craig's arms.
"Oh god no Lee, I can explain that..."
"No, it's ok. I get it now. That's why you haven't spoken to me all week. So who is it? Gerry I assume since he follows you around like a damn police dog."
"Lee no, god no, stop it. There is no man, only you and you know it. The cologne, it's my landlord's and..."
"Your landlord's??? Wow, well that's a new one. So here you are, thinking I want someone else when it appears that you are the one who does. Is that it?"
"Oh my god, Lee stop. We were only talking and..."
"Talking? Over wine too? I thought I tasted it on your breath."
"For fuck's sake, if you would just let me talk. That's not how it was. Yes, I had some wine. I was having a bad day after seeing Ethan and reading your letter and I ran into him. I just needed someone to talk to and he was there. That was all Lee."
"I was there Jo! I'm here, always have been. You could have talked to me! But instead, you chose your landlord that you barely know to speak to about your personal problems?? Was I part of that conversation too?"
"Briefly yes, but I didn't tell him anything personal about us, just about Ethan. I wouldn't do that Lee."
"Sounds pretty personal to me, especially when his cologne is embedded in your clothes. How do explain that one Jo?"
"Because, after you texted, telling me you were here, everything snuck up on me, you know, like when it did to you at your lake house? I had a panic attack and I...I hugged him, just to try and work through it. If I hadn't, I probably would have passed out as it progressed. That's all it was Lee. I swear it."
"So...I caused you to have an attack is pretty much what you're saying. You could called me Jo, right when you felt it start and I would have raced down there, but you chose a man who don't even know you instead."
"Lee! Craig was right there and he's not a stranger. He's very kind and understanding."
"Which is exactly what you need huh, because I don't give that to you right?...and Craig huh. You're on a first name basis with him too. Well, don't let me keep you. I'm going to go see if Gordon is back."
"That's it?? Seriously?? Running away again. Imagine that. I thought you had something for me and were going to tell me everything???"
"Yeah that, well...my hearing is next Monday at 10, but you don't need to worry about that or anything else now because it don't even matter. It never did. Maybe I'll see ya around."
"Lee wait! Come on. Don't do this!"
"Do what Jo? Walk away like you did?" he calmly said and then did just that, walked away.

Hey, It’s Sophia :) Have y’all have been taking good care of yourselves? I’ve been visiting Weverse and reading your letters AND MEMES!! I made a playlist full of songs y’all recommend! Hoping to share my playlists with y’all soon. I’ve been getting back into old hobbies I used to have before DA like painting, walking, and romcoms. Recently, Megan and I have been visiting cafes together. She gets her usual matcha and I get my vanilla latte then we spend minutes to hours talking and sharing pastries.
Since the DA finale, every day’s been a cycle of “AH I MADE IT” to “WOAH” to “omg… “ to “Wow…thank you” and then back to “AHH.” I’ve been spending a lot of time resting my physical and mental in preparation for what’s to come. I feel like I’ve got a lot of tension built up from Dream Academy going through all the challenges and now’s a good time to just release.
Thank you guys for being patient. It’s gonna be great. I can’t wait. I love you guys so much… Katseye is my whole world and I’m so happy to live in it with you and my sisters. *hugs*
You have my heart,
Sophia

You know what I hate about them pushing the fans are crazy narrative? That they don’t have an issue when the fans are making them money. People need to stop saying fans are crazy when it’s our money going into their pockets.
I'd say I find it interesting that his PR team has been weaponizing the "the fans are crazy" narrative since December, if I wasn't so pissed off by being gaslit, again.
Look, was that letter from "the fans" egregious and just dumb? Totally. Is it super-duper convenient for PR to have something like that out there! Oh, golly-jeez yes!
So, they got us in articles back in December, after the first theories about the follows floated. They got us again in January, after the whole trip. Then, they really took it to us with the damned pumpkins. But, oh, then that little thing called a pap walk and confirmation article happened. And now we're getting called delusional freaks for the subsequent fandom meltdown.
And now Megan has a full storyline she can run with, can't she? I'm already assuming this kind of blurb for the inevitable break-up article: Poor Chris Evans, too hounded by his crazy fans to ever find love and settle down, because they make it impossible on the women he meets. It sorta happened with Jenny, when everyone kind of overlooked that the real reason they broke up after round one was never given, but hooked on to her saying the scrutiny during the relationship was hard. So, unless some real shit drops, I'm assuming some kind of "sacrificial lamb" imagery will be woven together for the tried and true "too busy, different life paths" pablum. Get ready for Alba's image to be scrubbed up nice and shiny (humanitarian, anyone?), just like Chris' (laser-focused so in love dude), and prepare for us to be cast as the villains of the piece (because they're already doing that).
Does anyone want to go to Vegas and get an over-under on all this?
Tumblr media
(But yeah, think I won't be going out and buying special screening tickets anymore like I did with TGM. You lost my bank, Chris. Oh no, I must be jealous! /sarcasm)
