Midnight Rain & Sidney Crosby! 🫶
meet me at midnight | contains: fem!reader, a n g s t (yk it's my jam) | "and he never thinks of me, except when i'm on tv"
i've been wanting to test this water for a while (the water of news reporter reader). i'm taking the opportunity, if you want me to rewrite i will!
sidney has done everything in his power to avoid you. you, your friends, your friends friends, your coworkers- anything that involves you, he has tried his absolute best to avoid you. but all that work for the past four months went up in flames as he sat down on his couch, and turned his tv on.
it was simple, it was out of habit. sitting down late at night, a glass of bourbon in his hand while he propped his feet up on the coffee table and turned the damn tv on. there he saw you, in your solid blue dress that he liked so much, hair straightened, red lipstick on, sitting behind the reporters desk.
you were on his tv, you might as well have been right in his living room. sidney couldn't even tell what you were saying, his gaze was so transfixed on your face, on your body, on how the camera did change some of your appearance but not all of it. for a moment, just a teeny tiny moment, a grin came on his face and he missed you.
he missed you, for just a second, he missed you. he missed the smell of your perfume and how he could smell it on his blankets. he missed how you'd always greet him with a little poke to the arm or side. he missed when you'd come in his house and go straight to the fridge to grab a drink. he missed how you would, no matter how many times he told you not to, parked a couple houses down from his. he didn't think it was safe.
but then he remembered. he remembered the pain and hurt you caused him. he remembered the pure agony and sadness he went through for a solid month; he's still going through it. the pain of the breakup of the woman he thought he was going to marry...nothing compares.
he remembered and the frown quickly went away. he hadn't thought of you in at least a few weeks and then he sees you on his tv, and now he knows he's gonna need at least three more glasses of bourbon to go to sleep tonight.
he controls himself by turning off the television and taking a deep breath. he finishes the glass that he just poured to only go make another, and another, and another. by the third glass he's huffing up the stairs with every step he takes.
sidney turns on a movie to distract his mind to go to sleep, but he's angry in his dreams too. he sees you in his dreams, and he dreams of yelling and screaming and throwing things, but he knows that in real life he could never do that. no matter how much he was hurt by you, he couldn't bring himself to do that in person. so, he does it in his dreams. where he then dreams of getting over you, but he knows that won't happen for a while.

if I ever see anyone say “I’m the number one noah fan” it BETTER be owen. Otherwise you’re wrong
because this guy. this guy spent a WHOLE EPISODE trying to get Noah to laugh and I think that dedication earns him the title. I’m also pretty sure he said he wanted to “top his honor roll” (in reference to Noah) during world tour ???? I’m not even really sure what that means but in short. owen spends so much time trying to be an important and meaningful person to noah and does everything he can to make him happy

Azula and the mirror scene
Just got finished watching this scene for the first time in a long time, and I'm reminded of how in the art book, her entire breakdown is described as a "descent into madness". I'm reminded of the fact that during the commentary for this scene, the writers actually found it to be funny and just did not realize how horrible and sad this scene truly is. I'm reminded of the fact that some people in the fandom find her breakdown to be funny and "just". There is literally nothing funny about a 14 year old girl going through a fucking breakdown, cartoon character or not.
I just...
How do you LAUGH at this???

i've never seen dead poets society but i've been planning to watch it during my first term at uni soon but context now suggests that would be a bad idea 😔 (@herines-harasaeon)

wowie , here's a little update for y'all since i've been mia for a while: i'm finally moved in and settled but there's a lot of little things to do that have been adding up and taking time, so i haven't spent much time writing.
i've also been focusing on other things for my health, like getting outside and eating real meals and spending time with friends and family. i've also been reading a lot more! i finished a whole book and i'm well into another, which hasn't happened in over six months at least, and years before that so!! not to mention a new book idea struck me like a train and i've been working really hard on fleshing that out so i've been busy.
i intend to write here soon, but otherwise, if you want to reach me you can add me on discord or get my insta since that where i spend most of my online time these days. <333

I forgot the musical Dogfight was a thing for a little bit until last night. still haven’t listened to most of it, just “Come to a Party,” “Nothing Short of Wonderful,” “First Date / Last Night,” and “Come Back,” but GOD Derek Klena and Lindsay Mendez’s voices are incredible
