#oh my god.... i'm so proud of the quality of this though

[rottenpumpkin13]

Who has the biggest social media following?

I think Sephiroth would either post every thought he has or he would post once every lunar month.

Genesis would have the highest quality camera, knowledge of all social media sites and plus being a queer.

Angeal could be an online dad who mostly posts/reblogs cute animals.

Lazard is legally obligated to have social media and post, he makes it well known to all.

Zack posts every 5 seconds and most of the time it is complaints or vague posts that scare Lazard.

Rufus has been a social media presence since he was five and he has dirt on all the most famous people.

Idk about Cloud.

• Sephiroth has the larger following, but he also has maybe 20 photos in total on his social media, and only one of those is of himself (a picturesque photo Angeal took of him in the mountains. Sephiroth posted it, thanking Angeal and complimenting his photography skills in the caption, but it quickly broke the internet and is one of the most liked images ever. He posts once every few months and it's usually obscure and done so only because PR nags him about his social media presence.

A photo of his food at a restaurant, a photo of his sword perched against the wall of his office, a box of chocolates with his face on it (a partnership Shinra did with a famous chocolate company that Sephiroth found amusing), a photo of a book he likes, several nature snapshots, a cat he saw in an alleyway and stopped to pet, and what was his favorite picture—a nice photo of him, Angeal and Genesis together that Lazard took. PR took it down because Genesis was throwing gang signs (he didn't know Sephiroth was going to post it)

Oh yeah, there was one other photo that had to be taken down.

*Lazard bursts into Sephiroth's office*

Lazard: I TOLD YOU TO POST A PICTURE OF YOURSELF WITH PRESIDENT SHINRA.

Sephiroth: I did.

*Lazard pulls up a picture of Sephiroth with the half-cropped out President Shinra*

Lazard: THIS ISN'T WHAT I MEANT.

Sephiroth: God I look stunning.

• Genesis is a close second in terms of following, a fact that will forever irk him—even though he acts like it doesn't bother him. He's very dedicated to his curated, themed social media feed filled with action shots of him in battle, photo ops of him attending events and plays, magazine cover shoots, countless book recommendations and walls of text where he's waxing poetic about Loveless. At a glance, one would think Genesis's life is effortlessly perfect, and that's exactly what he wants people to think.

But who needs reality checks when you're best friends with Sephiroth.

*Genesis posts a perfect mirror selfie alongside Sephiroth and Angeal, he captions it "We seek it thus"*

SephirothOfficial commented: He cried when he couldn't get the lighting right.

• Angeal is somewhere in the middle, and he's relatively normal about what he posts, preferring to showcase what his real life looks like. There's pictures of him with the Seconds, Thirds and select infantrymen he's befriended. He also posts his cooking proudly, and always makes sure to add the recipe in the caption of the photo. He even posts some post-workout photos of himself that garner a lot of attention. He posts proud pictures of his plants, and picturesque nature scenes from his missions. Angeal's social media is where you'll find lighthearted photos of his friends, as well as a heap of sillyness that has PR ripping their hair out every other week. But his ultimate sin is being the friend who has to take a photo of everyone's food before they eat.

*At the restaurant, Zack is slowly rocking back and forth*

Zack: I'm having unfriendly thoughts.

Sephiroth: Can we please eat now?

Angeal: In a bit. Let me just adjust take one quick picture of Gen's soup...and.....done!

Zack: THE GODS HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS

Genesis: They all look a bit blurry.

Angeal: You're right. Let me start over.

*Zack starts sobbing*

hello! If you wish- hot stove SZN?

oh this is so hard bc I have no idea who tf anyone is on my team but I will attempt... no just kidding I looked at the roster I know exactly who it is.

under a cut because I accidentally got too in my feelings about semi-journeyman4superstar and their baby rookie. Found family....in a city by the Bay....

Hot Stove SZN: Create a chosen/found family or polycule (either existing on your team or through a series of convoluted trades) and tell us what tasks they canNOT be trusted with in the (club)house.

So last year our babiest outfield prospect Luis Matos got called up for a pretty significant chunk of time and while EYE thought he was good, he did suffer from some inconsistency due to KAPLERBALL and the Athletic talked shit about him and I was like I'm blowing up everyone on this website. But!! he was also adopted by his Venezuelan compatriots Wilmer Flores and Thairo Estrada, "older" men (32 and 27 respectively) with HUGE hearts and a lot of love to give. Canonically, they took him to Disneyland. Actually wait hold I just googled it and now I'm going crazy over this article in the Merc:

The best piece of advice, according to Matos: Be yourself. “It’s just mainly to make sure that he enjoys the game,” Estrada said. “When you first get to the big leagues, it’s like the game is just so fast for you. So what we’re trying to do is slow it down for him just a little bit … It’s not easy for somebody to come in and do what he’s doing. He’s doing like he’s been doing it forever.” Flores said, “He’ll be here a long time. We’re going to have a lot of talks.” “It’s like the new kid in school,” Estrada added. “He hangs out with us and hopefully he can glean all that experience that Wilmer has and then he can be a superstar himself.”

HELLOOOOO. Anyway in my heart of hearts Thairo and Wilmer were dancing around something for YEARS but never committed, never really knew how to put it into words, and now here's this baby duck of a prospect following them around everywhere and asking them questions constantly and he has so much drive and so much potential and such a huge heart and they love co-parenting him so much and sometimes while Luis is like very determinedly trying something they taught him (batting stance. card game. new glove. novel way to antagonize white boys.) they catch each other's eye and grin like idiots bc they're so proud of him beating every other rookie in like Go Fish or whatever. and they hold each other's gaze for just a beat too long and Thairo's smile turns flirty and Wilmer looks considering at him but then they're interrupted and the moment is ruined. and then one day Luis is having some quality face down floortime in Wilmer's living room after going through the agonies with Kapler. Thairo comes over and he's making dinner in Wilmer's kitchen for the three of them and dancing to like Venezeulan trap he started playing on Wilmer's speakers the minute he entered the house and Wilmer's standing in the doorway between them like god what if I had this IN REAL LIFE. What if this was MY REAL LIFE. but then he thinks: it is his real life! This life is one and only life! And because he is Wilmer Flores, both a superstar and a huge goober, he waits until a particularly romantic lyric comes up in one the songs so he can hug Thairo from behind and kiss his neck and sing along and Thairo relaxes against him immediately and it's basically perfect even though Luis is still kind of dying on the floor in the other room. But He'll be okay. Thairo and Wilmer will take care of him together.

Thank you for asking!!!

good day! hope you're doing fine! canon gave us prongsfoot shippers little, but my god the quality… today i'm fixated on how Sirius was gushing about James. Something so simple and raw about it. 'You fly as well as your father did, Harry' he said in Shrieking Shack about only highlight of that mad post-Azkaban year. He reminiscented with affection how James used to mess up his hair [while Harry was angsting about swm honestly the timing]. 🤦😅 [1/2]

Hi anon! 

I'm doing fine. 😊 and prongsfoot asks always makes my day shine brighter. ♡ 

You are absolutely right! I don't want to sound biased or anything (because what I'm going to say is a simple reality) but the only pairing that actually makes sense for Sirius or for James (not taking Jily which is canon into account here) is prongsfoot a.k.a themselves. I have never understood the point or the logic of lots of other James or Sirius fanon pairings. True, prongsfoot is fanon as well but it is - oh, come on, of course they were together! - kind of fanon based on what we get in the book. If one doesn't ship them romantically, the platonic soul mate love is undeniable. Problem is that a lot of people ignore canon as if it doesn't exist in favour of works like ATYD (which I respect the writer and the people who enjoy it of course) or somehow just make up random excuses about James and Sirius' relationship. I don't want to start a ship war or anything here, so I guess I should stop ranting about it. I understand that it's a fictional world, so ships can exist with the policy of - what if - in shipping but to be honest these what ifs have become kind of ridiculous.

Sorry, I strayed from the topic. Canon gave us little quantity but a great quality, not to mention Sirius always mentioning James' name in every topic that comes up, from quidditch to bravery (probably even James' tooth paste flavour behind the scenes). 

Sirius is one awesome character. He was so passionate, so full of life, so bright and it was stolen from him all in one night. I believe a part of him died with James for good. A part that even if he was a free man would remain dead. Some may think it was rash of him to go after Peter, seeking revenge but I think he did the most logical thing, (may or may not on purpose). Yes, he was angry and vengeful to the point of insanity but if he had managed to catch Peter, it would prove his innocence. But I believe the most painful part of this tragedy is that James Potter and Sirius Black, the ones who Peter always hid behind them and were the strongest pillars of the marauders, fell by the hands of the one they put their trust into. The guilt is more suffocating for Sirius because James kept wanting him. He wanted Sirius to have his life in his hands and only agreed to switch the secret keepers because Sirius said so. 

James trusted Sirius with his life, literally and practically. Not only his own life, but his wife and son's life as well. He was putty and trusting in Sirius' hands, and I believe if Sirius was in James' situation, he would trust no one but James and his words as well. This is the broken part inside Sirius or at least one of them. To me, he was in a self-induced guilty coma all the while in Azkaban, trying to keep himself sane until he saw the danger which burned him awake to get to his godson.

He is so proud of Harry, of the way he flies, of how brave he is, how similar he is to James. Molly Weasley (and others) can say whatever they want, Sirius doesn't see Harry as James though. It is disrespectful to what he shared with James. Sirius is sarcastic and cruel and arrogant, but not to the people whom he holds dear. He has a heart of gold with them. I cannot help but to feel really emotional over the first time he saw Harry ( when he was angrily leaving his aunt's house ) and then remembering how it was similar to the way he ran to James' arms house. Like imagine the comfort he found there. The home he found there with James. They would watch the stars together and Sirius would talk about ancient astronomy while James would come up with the strangest yet the most complicated magical theories based on them, something like turning Slytherin's common room golden and red under Venus' orbit; an essay or the runes macabre.

If Sirius remained the secret keeper and died for James, I think it would drive James insane with grief as well because he too would blame himself. The fandom is going to obliterate me for this, but maybe he did agree to switch secret keepers to keep Sirius safe. James was a kind soul who cared for all his friends but Sirius was just another level. Sirius was half of his soul and we all know that James can be arrogant and self-centred (affectionate) . It is just a very cruel HC of mine though. But he didn't know that he sacrificed and crushed Sirius' soul in the process.  (as I said HC ) 

But beyond the veil he stands, after years of watching Sirius from afar and longing, and receives Sirius into his arms as he sobs along with him, both asking for the other's forgiveness.

Sorry for the dramatic last part and thank you for the ask. ♡

i think. i think you guys both visit operas.

He always brings you roses in hand before the opera. the gift drastically changes, from a pearl necklace, written poems, chocolayes. all gifts are symbolic, and represent an espect of you.

Hi Moon🌙

For ask game for fanfic writers :3

2, 7, 17,29, 30, 64 and 98 (yes, this one on purpose for make you praise yourself and be kinder to yourself 🫶)

Hello Anna T_T This took way too long, I'm so sorry.

2. talk about a notable time a narrative or character has looked you dead in the eyes and said “fuck your plan, here’s what we’re actually doing.”

I answered this one over here :3

7. tell us about the plot of the first fanfic you ever wrote

The first ever fanfic? Oh god, that's more than a decade and a half ago... but okay xD Basically Kei and Hikari (the main couple from S.A) take a trip on a cable car during a winter getaway, and as you can expect, the car stops right in the fucking middle. What happens next? A lot of sexual tension, that's what. I was like... 13 or 14 when I wrote this xD It was titled 'Love in the Ice' btw, lol.

17. what is your favorite line you’ve ever written?

Oof, this is hard #_# There's got to be many, though my head is blank now... but... okay. I guess this one from Ch.16 of VBEOW:

He bid her goodbye, once again, and that time had been the most painful of all, because now he knew, there could've been something between them, something called love, and it couldn't be, only because she was supposed to be just Annie, and he wanted that for her more than love.

29. give us a spoiler for one of your stories.

XD Wah, really? A spoiler? Uhhhhhh okay, so there will be a chapter in VBEOW titled "Once a Fighter, Always a Fighter" and personally, I'm very excited for it (though it's a long way away for now). Very vague, I know, but it's a spoiler xD

30. most inspirational quote you’ve ever read or heard that’s still important to you.

Hm... from a fic? Or just in general? Okay, I guess I'll go with Carl Sagan's dedication to his wife in his book 'Cosmos'. It goes like this: "In the vastness of space and the immensity of time, it is my joy to share a planet and an epoch with Annie."

I think about it often, because in our very brief time of conscious life on this (rare) planet, it is certainly such a wonderful thing that we live alongside other wonderful people who touch our hearts and change us forever.

64. what is your favourite title for a fic you’ve read?

Ooohh. I think it's got to be "Breathturn" by ladywongs, who wrote it for the touken fandom. I can't find her/their fics up anywhere anymore, but since I have a downloaded copy of it, I often go and re-read it. It was an angsty-smutty piece, which captured the quality of the title very well, imo.

98. what don’t you like about your writing style?

:< Oh no. Everything, sometimes. Other times, I don't like how it seems very much like violet prose... or maybe that's just me because I'm too critical of my skills and hate everything I do haha xD Anyway. Someday, I'll be proud. That's good enough.

Thank you anna T^T You're always too damned sweet :<

P.S: Please let me know your thoughts on this imagine❤️

---

Being an only child was one thing, but when you pair that with your father being high up in the echelon of the FBI, you have a recipe for disaster. Especially if you are anything like Y/N and the only way you could cope with your father's job was by falling in with the wrong crowd, eventually getting yourself arrested and charged with minor offenses. 

Sure, they weren't near as severe as former convicted criminal turned FBI operative James Keene's were, but they were still enough to make her father disappointed and feel as though he had to work harder to prove to his bosses that he was an upstanding and law-abiding citizen.

Y/N knew how much the FBI meant to her father, which is why she made it her mission to rewrite the wrongs she had done in her past. She wanted to make her parents proud and the best way she knew to do that was to follow in one of her parents' footsteps. In this case, it was her father's footsteps.

She had gone to her father one rainy afternoon, begging him to let her help with a recent case that was in jeopardy of going cold. She was good with problem-solving and she was amazing at investigating things. She had been since she was a small child. It's why her parents could never hide her Christmas gifts at their house and always hid them at Y/N's grandparents' house. 

Robert was reluctant but knew that Y/N wouldn't let it go until he accepted her pleas. He allowed her to look over the case files, and ever since that afternoon, Y/N began her job as an FBI operative. 

This takes us to today. Y/N sat in the passenger seat of an old beat-up truck with broken air conditioning, whilst the sweltering heat made beads of sweat cling to her brow. She wiped the sweat away and tied her hair up into a high messy bun in the hopes that it would help with the heat. It didn't. It only made things worse if you asked her. The baby hairs at the nape of her neck were forced into little ringlets, refusing to be tamed. She growled in annoyance and returned to the open map on her lap.

"This is ridiculous. Are we there yet?" Y/N groaned, hoping her partner on this case would tell her they were.

He turned his head to face her and looked at her over the rim of his dark sunglasses while his hair flopped in his face, clearly not appreciating the heat either.

"Why are you asking me that again?" Jimmy asked with a slightly annoyed tone.

Y/N continued looking at the map even though she could feel his lingering gaze on her.

"Is the pretty boy losing his marbles?" Y/N cooed sarcastically, smirking at him afterwards.

Jimmy rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the road ahead of him.

"You're the one with the map, so if anyone knows how close we are to the town, it's you." He remarked, making Y/N roll her eyes this time.

She was about to reply when a large sign saying 'Welcome to Arizona' passed by them in a flash.

"Well, now we both know we are close." She said with sarcasm. 

Jimmy refused to say anything else. Normally he wouldn't mind working with others on a case but Y/N was starting to feel like a thorn in his side. She would sass him when he asked her a question, or she would remain silent and stare out her window and God forbid he ask her to look at a map. Oh and another thing, when he said he was driving and she wasn't, she scoffed and pouted.

He wasn't entirely sure if he wanted to yell at her or kiss that put off her face. He decided against both choices though as he knew he'd probably have ever loving shit out of him. Something told him that the woman beside him was a tough one and was a force to be reckoned with, especially with how well-known her father was. Jimmy was sure that Y/N could make his death look like an accident if she wanted to.

=

After another couple of hours of driving and bickering back and forth, Jimmy and Y/N arrived at their motel.

"Uh, are you sure this is it? It looks so-" Y/N started before Jimmy chimed in.

"Charming, American, yadda yadda." He said, listing off words, waving his hand in the air.

"No, I was going to say gross, dingy, dilapidated, and damn near abandoned." She answered, feeling nervous about what awaited them in the small office building with dirt and cobweb-covered windows.

"Oh come on, it's not that bad." Jimmy said confidently but Y/N could see through that confident facade. She knew he felt the same.

"Are you fucking blind Keene, it's beyond a shit hole and if we're the next victims of murder, I'm blaming you." Y/N said through gritted teeth as she followed him to the office.

Once they reached the tiny box that was the office, they stepped inside and instantly Y/N's hand flew up to cover her mouth as she attempted and failed at suppressing a gag. The smell of old urine, old smoke, musty carpets, mold, and other odors embraced every nook and cranny with their vile scents. Even Jimmy wanted to puke and he had seen and smelled some pretty intense things in his lifetime.

Jimmy looked behind him to make sure that Y/N was ok but by the fact that her complexion had turned white with a hint of green, he knew she needed air, however hot and suffocating it was outside.

He was about to tell Y/N to wait outside when a man resembling hamburglar walked out of what appeared to be a small room. He was covered in sweat and dirt. He smelt of old cigarettes and stale beer. His hair wet with sweat, stuck out at odd ends as it curled from the heat.

"She good?" The man asked through a mumble as he pointed at Y/N, clocking the way she was acting.

She looked at Jimmy and silently begged him to make something up or was it to let her wait outside, he couldn’t tell.

When she tried to hold another gag, he knew it was to let her wait outside, so he took the keys out of his pocket.

"Car sick. Takes her a while to get over it." Jimmy said, handing Y/N the keys, fully trusting her to not drive off without him.

She snatched the keys from him and hurried outside just in time.

The men watched the woman for a minute before they went on with the business of sorting out a room.

Thankfully It didn’t take too long to check in before Jimmy could rejoin the outside world. He was glad for that fact as the extremely pungent smell in the office was starting to get to him and turn his gills green.

Y/N watched the man breathing deeply and dramatically from where she was in the truck and chuckled to herself. He looked absolutely ridiculous huffing and puffing in his now off white tank top and blue Levi jeans. Why he chose to wear jeans in a hot climate was beyond her, especially since he opted to wear boots on his feet. Ones that didn’t look like they were made for the desert.

“Are you just going to stand there or can we actually go to our room?” Y/N asked as she pooped her head out of the passenger side window.

Jimmy ignored her but made his way over to the truck. He was eager to get to the room and see if it looked better or worse then the front of this so called establishment.

=

“Are you fucking kidding me, Keene?! I am not sharing a bed with you!” Y/N exclaimed as she and Jimmy stood in front of the only bed in the room. The bed that looked like no one had washed its sheets in decades…no, make that in centuries. 

“Sleep in the truck then.” Jimmy said as he put his bag on the bed. 

Y/N gasped and picked his bag back up. SHe was appalled that he wasn’t even questioning what the hell was going on here.

“Don’t do that, you don’t know what diseases are hiding there.” She told him. 

“I’m almost touched that you care about me.” He said.

“I care about the bag. Do you know how long bacteria can stay on something like your bag.” She shrieked, making Jimmy roll his eyes.

“Why don’t we drive around looking for another place to stay because I’m telling you right now, the FBI hates us.” Y/N said.

“Why don’t you just stop bitching about this place. It may not be ideal but it’s a place to rest and work.” Jimmy warned her.

“I am not bitching. This place is vile and I really don’t want to stay here.” Y/N replied.

“At least it’s not a prison.” He said. He had her there.

“With a choice between this place and prison, I choose prison.” Y/N said, looking at the man square on.

“You aren’t going to budge on this are you?” Jimmy asked.

“Not a chance in fucking hell. I’d rather lick Satan’s asshole than stay here.” Y/N said, making Jimmy chuckle.

“Alright, fine. Put the bags back in the truck. I’ll tell him we had family members insist we stay with them.”  Jimmy said, giving in.

Y/N threw her arms around him in a tight hug.

“Thank you!” Y/N said as she took their bags to the truck while Jimmy locked their room door.

=

25 minutes later, Jimmy and Y/N had found an even better motel. It was one that actually looked inviting and not like something straight out of a horror movie. The reception smelled clean, looked clean and the staff were so nice and less fat and sweaty. 

Unfortunately for Y/N, the only room they had available had one bed. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to share a bed because she hated Jimmy, rather it was the idea that if she was to sleep next to him, she may do things that were…unbecoming of a respectable woman shall we say and completely unprofessional. 

“Still?” Jimmy sighed, noticing the look on her face at the mention of their room only having one bed…again.

“You know what, no. Because you were my knight in shining armor back there and saved me from a night of horrors, I’ll keep my thoughts on sharing a bed quiet.” Y/N said, patting Jimmy on the shoulder.

Jimmy raised his brow at her and decided against replying. He’d save his remark for later.

“Come on Keene, I’m tired.” Y/N called over her shoulder as she walked toward the door. Jimmy shook his head and followed suit.

=

Finally settled in their room, Y/N sat on her side of the bed looking over a case file while Jimmy showered and rinsed off the last few hours. Y/N had previously done the same and boy, what a world of good that did her. She felt refreshed and happier.

“Did you know that this motel is closer to the prep’s house and to the route he took.” Y/N called as she heard the water shut off.

“We should scout it out.” Jimmy suggested as he walked out of the bathroom with a towel hanging loosely around his waist.

Y/N pretended not to notice how fit the man in front of her was but with how quiet Y/N became, Jimmy smirked to himself.

“What’s so funny?” Y/N asked, trying not to look up at him.

So many replies were flying around Jimmy’s mind but he didn’t want to embarrass Y/N or give her a reason to get all pissy with him.

“I spotted a burger king down the street.” He said as he slipped his clothes on back in the bathroom.

“And?” Y/N asked, refocusing on re-reading the paragraphs on the paperwork.

“Are you hungry?” Jimmy questioned as he padded back to the room and plopped on the bed next to Y/N.

Y/N stopped reading and looked at the tv on the wall, deciding if she was hungry or not.

“I could eat.” Y/N said after a minute. Jimmy nodded and stood up.

“Let’s go then.” He said as he got his things together.

“Oh, I thought you were going to get it and come back.” Y/N admitted, feeling dejected. She loved the idea of getting fast food and eating it in the motel bed while watching cartoons.

“I could do that or we could get it and eat in the restaurant and then go for a drive.” He suggested, loving the idea of seeing what else this town had to offer and maybe scouting out where the crimes took place.

“You go enjoy, I’ll just order a pizza or something.” Y/N said, putting her head back down.

“Suit yourself.” Jimmy said, shrugging his shoulders.

Y/N would be lying if she said she wasn’t disappointed and a little hurt that he would leave her alone on their first night here in favor of going for a  drive.

Jimmy walked out the door and got into the truck and felt a pang of guilt hit him in the chest. There was something about Y/N’s demeanor that told him she was excited at the possibility of a motel room picnic, if that’s what you want to call it that.

Taking a deep breath, Jimmy got out of the truck and unlocked the room door.

“Change your mind?” Y/N asked, now flipping through the tv for something to watch.

“What burger do you want?” Jimmy asked. 

Y/N’s gaze  shot to Jimmy and he could see a spark of joy shine in her eyes. 

“What about your drive?” She questioned. 

“Just answer the question before I change my mind Y/N.” Jimmy said and for the first time since meeting her, Y/N gave him a genuine smile and he’d be lying if he said his heart didn’t skip a beat. 

“You got a pen?” She asked, knowing that she wanted a few things.

Jimmy grabbed a pen from the small desk in the room and a piece of paper. 

“Hit me with it.” He told her.

“Ok, I want an extra large whopper meal, a large order of onion rings, an extra large chicken nugget meal and a chocolate sundae. I also want two cheeseburgers and a chicken burger.” She said, making Jimmy’s eyes bug out of his head.

“Damn.” Jimmy remarked.

“What? I’m thinking of breakfast tomorrow and if I know anything from traveling as a kid, it’s that burger king always tastes better cold and for breakfast the next morning.” She explained.

“Never thought of that.” Jimmy said as he finished writing her order. “Anything else or is that all?” He asked.

Y/N thought for a minute.

“One more thing?” She questioned.

“Fuck me, ok.” He said as he put pen to paper again.

“A caramel sundae as well as the chocolate one.” She said, remembering her mother’s tradition of mixing the caramel and chocolate sundaes together.

“To confirm, you want an extra large whopper meal, an extra large chicken nugget meal, a large order of onion rings, a chicken burger, two cheeseburgers, a chocolate sundae and a caramel sundae.” Jimmy said, reading the list carefully.

“Yup, that should do it.” She said proudly. She was excited for cartoons while she ate. It was going to be just as fun as when she was a kid and on holiday with her mom when her dad was away working.

“Awesome.” Jimmy said as he headed toward the door.

He barely had his hand on the doorknob when Y/N spoke up again.

“Jimmy?” Y/N asked. He turned to face her, waiting for her response.

“Thanks for getting all that.” She said, genuinely.

“You’re welcome.” He muttered, opening the door, heading to get their food.

=

While Jimmy was out getting their food and some other treats he wanted from the store, Y/N got the room ready for the night and for their fast food feast.

She untucked the blankets on the bed and set up a partition in the middle of the bed so their sides were clearly marked, she turned on the nickelodeon channel ready for the cartoon binge fest and she had changed into her cozy pj’s. She didn’t care that they were oversized and granny looking. The point was that she was comfortable and had room for all her food.

When she was done with all of that, Y/N sat back on the bed and watched spongebob. It was one of her favorite cartoons to watch while she was traveling. It gave her a sense of nostalgia.

This particular episode, spongebob and Patrick were up to their usual chaotic mischief and every moment of the episode, Y/N was in a fit of giggles so loud Jimmy could hear them as he came back with the mass amount of food.

“Uh, a little help.” Jimmy said as he struggled to balance the items in his hands.

“Oh my god Jimmy, that’s way more than what I asked for.” Y/N told him.

“Thank you captain obvious, I hadn’t noticed.” He sassed her.

“Ok, Ok, no need to snap.” She said.

Y/N set the burger king bags etc. on the bed and the rest of the things she placed on the small desk.

“That’s everything.” Jimmy said as he entered the room with four six packs of beer.

“Beer?” Y/N asked, surprised that Jimmy drank beer. She took him as a wine guy after all.

“It goes with the chips I got.” He said.

Y/N squinted at him.

“What kind of chips?” She questioned.

“Salt n vinegar and bbq.” He replied.

“I approve.” She said.

“Good to know.” He said. 

“So is it a split situation?” She asked.

“For what?” He asked in reply.

“For the beer.” She responded.

“Uh, yeah. 12 for me, 12 for you.” He said.

“Thank you.” Y/N said as she sat down to eat her melting ice creams.

Jimmy soon joined her in eating his food and the both of them laughed and reminisced while they watched cartoon after cartoon.

In fact, they’d go as far as saying they bonded over their festivities. Jimmy learned things no one knew about Y/N and Y/N learned things no one knew about Jimmy.

=

At 2am, Jimmy woke up with a start. It wasn’t a new thing. He had been having nightmares ever since he had left Springfield and as much as he tried to rid those thoughts and memories from his mind, it never seemed to do much good.

“What’s wrong?” Y/N muttered lowly, feeling Jimmy stir beside her.

He didn’t want Y/N to know the truth so he came up with a quick lie, hoping it would appease her.

“You were snoring.” He said hurriedly.

Y/N knew that she didn’t snore but she had to give him kudos for all the lies he was able to think up on the spot. It took some real talent to do that.

“I do not snore. You liar.” She scoffed.

Jimmy sighed.

“You don’t have to tell me but you don’t have to lie either.” Y/N said.

“I’ll keep that in mind.” Jimmy replied, turning over to face her so that he could see her better.

“Don’t let this get in your head but you’re a good guy Jimmy and whatever is bothering you, you shouldn’t let it overtake the goodness you have.” Y/N said.

Jimmy smiled. He knew that she was right and it made him feel good to know that someone saw that he wasn’t just a pretty face like so many women had told him. Y/N could see something in him that held promise and that made his heart happy.

“Is there anything I can do that will help you go back to sleep?” Y/N asked, not knowing that Jimmy had already fallen asleep again. His body feeling exhausted from the day’s events.

“Rest easy Jimmy and don’t worry, I’m right here.” She whispered, kissing his cheek gently.

[allwaswell16]

I’ve been working my way back through your fics, rereading them, some for probably the 10th-plus time, and I just have to write to rave a bit in your direction. What strikes me most about your writing is not just the consistently high quality, but also the breadth of the types of stories you tell and the characters in them. There are different time periods, from present day to Victorian era to the War of 1812; there are comedies, dramas, and thrillers; there are a wide range of au’s, including soulmates, A/B/O, supernatural, royalty, and non-famous reality; there are professions of EVERY kind - pirates, students, lamplighters, models, construction workers, real estate agents, assassins, glaciologists; there are high schoolers to middle aged men and everything in between; and while it’s mostly H&L, there’s also Lilo, Tomlinshaw, and Louis rare pairs. And this is far from exhaustive. To sit back and look at an overview of all you’ve done, and done well, it’s really amazing. Thank you!

And I can’t stop without a plug for my favorite hidden gems— Smitten, an adorable ficlet where they’re 20-somethings working at an insurance agency in Kansas, and Unraveled, a political thriller where they’re in their 50’s and Louis is the prime minister facing death threats and Harry is the MI5 agent who comes out of retirement to protect him. BREADTH!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my god, anon, this is for sure the nicest ask I've ever received. You have no idea how wonderful your timing is...I just made a tag post saying I was going to try and answer a couple asks because they've been piling up. My anxiety is really bad right now, and I need my meds tweaked because I haven't had it be like this in years. I see my dr on Monday though so should have relief soon. Anyway, I clicked on my inbox and this is the first thing waiting for me 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

I'm writing my 100th fic right now, and I was writing so much until this stupid anxiety knocked me down a little. Usually writing helps my anxiety though, so I'm gonna answer a couple more asks and then I'm going to open my wip back up.

Thank you so much for going back through all my fics and rereading and noting the ones you think of as hidden gems! I honestly couldn't figure out what Smitten was at first lol! I was like Kansas?? But then it came back to me...the person I wrote it for was living in Kansas at the time. And Unraveled is one I'm pretty proud of actually. I really wanted to capture a certain mood and pacing and I feel like I did.

I love to write and sometimes I'll write things that are similar to something else I've written...obviously I enjoy a silly animal fic. lol. But for me, the most fun part of writing is writing something new to me. I enjoy the challenge of trying something new and it just keeps things interesting for me as a writer.

Thank you so much for sending this, anon! It has really brightened my day!

#ask #anon #nice things #like the nicest thing ever #my day has been a little depressing tbh #and this made it lighter

👀🏅🤔 for the fanfic asks!

(ahhhh thank you thank you for the asking!)

👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?

Yes? Ish? It's not that I am ashamed of the content of them, more that I started them a very long time ago and they only exist now on ff.net (which I have since pulled and stuck in my gdocs) and the quality is not great, but I also do not have the energy to fix it. So, even though that Pride and Prejudice modern au of mine was almost done, it's never gonna see the light of day bc I have no energy to fix it up.

🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).

Is it weird to say I am proud that I have yet to give up on a sprawling idea? Because my Old Guard massive WIP is probably not going to see the light of day for at least a year, but I do not want to give up on it and as much as it scares me, I'm gonna keep going and I am proud of that (even though I'm sure the doubts will creep in again constantly).

🤔 What is the hardest part of writing fic?

For me, the constant self-judging of, "Is this interesting? Is this good? Should I bother publishing this? Oh god, what if this is boring?" and then I put it up and it's all okay and I shouldn't have worried, and yet, that moment is always hardest for me.

Cosplaying s/o part two, Electric Boogaloo. I realized after writing the first part that I was leaning a little heavy on the sewing aspects when there are lots of other crafting mediums involved. I'm going to try and do better on that this time, but I am basing these off my personal experiences as a cosplayer so feel free to request something that doesn't get included! Part one is here!

Guzma

Oh my god he's going to laugh. Not making fun of you though! It's just cute and it's something he considers a little silly. You're a nerd, but you're his nerd. He's supportive, even if he doesn't get it at first. It's a way to express yourself, and he's glad you have a way to do that.

Things really click into place for him once he sees you make something from practically nothing. Like that's something that takes skill no matter what it is. He loves seeing you go all out on making something the best it can be! Altering a store-bought cosplay looks like magic to him. Turning foam and cardboard into armor? To him, that's just as impressive as making real armor. He will not allow you to half-ass anything once he sees what you are capable of.

He probably won't be of much help, but if you need an extra set of hands he doesn't mind that much. Sometimes he'll pretend he hates it, but once he starts asking questions you know that he's just trying to act tough. Listening to you talk out different solutions and then offering his unprofessional opinion is what he's best at though. He ends up accidentally learning more information about the quality of fabric and craft foam than he will ever need.

He's another one you'll have to put in horny jail for trying to get you to wear a cosplay in the bedroom. Once you explain about not wanting to ruin it he understands but still pouts about it. He may still try again to get you to cave, but it's more of a joke cause he knows you won't agree to it.

Will not cosplay with you. He does go with you to photoshoots and events though. You have to ask him to help you sometimes, but he doesn't complain. Especially once he figures out that being a cosplay handler is sort of like being a bodyguard. He's proud to show you off and takes pride in being the one that gets to protect you.

This man does not understand why people would give a rattata's ass about the way you choose to do things in this hobby. Doesn't matter if it's bought or made ya'll are all nerds in costumes at the end of the day. He usually tries to defend you by saying something mean and then dragging you away, he doesn't want to fight over something so stupid. If those jerks make it personal though, he won't hesitate to throw the first punch.

Nanu

He doesn't get the hype, but he supports you. Sometimes he might raise an eyebrow and ask questions like "well why don't you just wear normal shoes?" or "can't you just dye your hair?" Even if he doesn't understand, it's obvious he tries.

Like Guzma, he isn't much help when it comes to the creative process. However, if he notices you struggling he'll offer to help in some way. If you have an interest in making props or accessories from recycled materials, expect him to bring you things he might have considered throwing away. When you light up with excitement about a dented curtain rod he smiles a bit and feels proud of himself.

Sadly, another man that won't cosplay with you. But if you gave him a pair of Meowth ears and looked at him with big sad eyes though... well he'll wear them. But only when going to cosplay events with you and no he will not wear a matching tail.

He accepts the role of cosplay handler easily. He doesn't get why it's such a big deal. Holding your things, adjusting part of your costume when you ask, making sure you can move around safely? It would be shitty of him to not do those things for you so there's no need to make a big deal out of it.

If anyone tries to give you a hard time about your cosplay for any reason, he'll speak up. Like why is it a big deal to everyone if you bought or made something? So what if you didn't bring all the props, can't they just mind their own business? Causing a huge scene over something like this isn't his style though, so he keeps his response short. Probably directly tells them that they're being an asshole before holding your hand and dragging you away.

Frankvira

Frank Woods X Elvira Wolff

Prompt: "You want a bite?"

Photo belongs to me

Elvira loved to cook, no matter what it was. Thanks to her mother who had a old bunch of recipes before she ran away. She write all of them down, and then learnt to cook them just like hoe her mother did; Mia had her ways in cooking certain things too. From recipie, from a cook book or from scratch. From what she knew by heart, the passion for cooking and for baking was at her greatest, she became espeically good at baking too.

Frank loved coming home from work, smelling her food. Even after a hard days work, stressful day. The smell of food, and being near his wife, just what he needs to decompress and relax with her. Just as the same for Elvira too coming home and smelling Woods food, and spending quality time with him, both of them also took their turns to cook. Or the latter, they should cook together, which both of them always loved. It was another great way to spend time with each other.

Frank loved her cooking especially her baking, the cookies, cakes, cupcakes, brownies all the sorts. He just couldn't keep his hands off of them, food is food after all that's what he'd always say. Elvira didn't mind though. She appreciated that Woods loved her cooking.

"Want a bite?" Elvira mused pressing the fork near Frank's lips, she had finished baking a cake. Chocolate cake to be exact, the overwhelming smell going around the house. It smelled absolutely delicious, Frank was dying to eat some.

"Hell yeah, come on just one small bite please..." Woods stared down at her, the fresh smell of the cake smelt so lovely. He could have her cakes any day, any meal at this point.

"Hm... I don't know, we should save this for desert you know?" Elvira began to think, as she simply smiled at him innocently. Before slowly pulling the fork away from his lips.

"Just a small piece! Please! I know you can't resist it either, you know how much I love your cooking..." Woods almsot pratically begged to her this time, in hopes it would work properly

Elvira sighed a little and then chuckled softly, letting Woods eat the small piece she originally had given to him to eat upon the fork. Before going over to cut the cake properly and to put them on dmall plates. "Alright you win, I can't resist that face of yours." She then began to cut the cake.

Woods smiled at and sat himself down near the kitchen table, admiring her as she began to place the cake upon the plate. He couldn't wait to eat the delcious cake, even though dinner would ve ready in fourty five mintues or so. Oh well, Woods couldn't care any less. "You know me dear, I'm a bear. Always hungry!" He teased.

"Ja I know, you're my big bear! After all!" Elvira smiled happily, placing the two small plates of cake down on the table. Kissing Frank's head, before she would sit herself down too.

"Forever and always my little otter." Frank said, kissing her hand before grabbing the fork ans eating the cake. As per usual, he groaned softly in happiness. The cake tasted amazing. "Shit babe, you do such a good job as always. God I fucking love you!" He said.

"And I love you too mister." Elvira couldn't stop smiling and ate the Cake, she was proud of herself. She loved how amazing it tasted, her sweet tooth was kicking in. And as always there would be room for more for dessert.

54 Great Things about Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach

Strange New Worlds season one episode six... yay... so glad we got to this one...

Strange New Worlds | Children of the Comet | Ghosts of Illyria Part 1 & Part 2 | Memento Mori | Spock Amok | Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach | Serene Squall

Pike's impression of La'An is so bad 😂

La'An's security lessons were probably mandatory continuing education for the crew and that's why they all know them and I need fic now of this happening

Combat cruiser has grappling hooks to grab Alora's ship instead of a tractor beam

Enterprise is gigantic compared to the shuttle and the cruiser - I like seeing the size of things in space because it's easy for me to loose track of the scale of the ships

Pike's hair is ridiculous in this episode - too much mousse, my man, too much

Number One is thoroughly enjoying seeing Pike reduced to a bumbling lieutenant and slightly mortified

"Oh, well, it's gold, technically… because I'm captain" 🙄

Attempt #1: Uh this is my Number One

Attempt #2: Una

Attempt #3: Lieu-Lieutanant Commander Una Chin-Riley

Number One manages to keep a straight face as her captain demotes her an entire rank in his attempts to speak coherently in front of a woman (no, I am not interested to know about the discrepancy in the rank stripes on the uniforms or screenshots of the ship's roster)

Rukiya learning about the transporter timer 😭

The Majalis maxim "science, service, sacrifice" is very similar to Pike's in Discovery "service, sacrifice, compassion, and love"

Slow turn by everyone in the ready room when Pike can't turn off the googly eyes

When Pike tells Alora Starfleet requires them to investigate the downed combat cruiser with or without her help, backing up Number One's statement, Number One turns to face Pike and then turns back to Alora like "Told you"

Spock being like "Whaaaat is happening" during the debrief

Everyone is instantly charmed by the First Servant in sickbay

M'Benga realizing the Majalans could cure his daughter

Uhura is 9,000% done with the lessons of security by the time they go investigate the cruiser

Alora blatantly lying No, I don't know what that neural dampening device is

Majalis has pretty architecture if you don't know what's actually going on

The floating agenda Alora's assistant uses is rad if you don't know what's actually going on

Spock would be such a good dad

"That would be an impressive feat [rewiring the biobed to generate a subspace frequency], though Dr. M'Benga might object." … And the First Servant is so proud that the ship's science officer thinks that he is impressive

Oh my god how does nobody fall off the Majalis walkways

Uhura scarfing down lunch and her smirk as Kirk talks a big game and then becomes a shrinking violet when La'An comes over

"I would, but I'm conflict averse?"

Lesson six of security: Know when to bend the rules. Good rule for lots of things

So much empathy for Elder Gamal when M'Benga is expressing his wonder at the quantum bio implants… because this kid probably has those implants not to improve his quality of life, but because he is going to be plugged into a machine that will literally suck the life out of him and those implants will let him be a longer lasting battery

The doors to Alora's quarters are beautiful if you don't know what's actually going on

Pike is such a beefcake under that uniform, damn

"I wonder what ever happened to that Majalan girl who couldn't fly a shuttle"

Uhura is so proud of herself for figuring out the Prospect 7 mystery, and she should be!

Everyone constantly underestimates Uhura when they give her a task and she always delivers in spades - get it, girl!

La'An being a good mentor and telling Uhura to present her work to the captain

Rukiya 😭

The First Servant and Rukiya playing together

Grumpy Pike at having his romantic rendezvous interrupted and Diplomatic Number One politely inviting him to reengage his brain

Mitchell's face when the cruiser explodes after trying to warp out of a tractor beam

Everyone on the bridge is standing to pay respects for the loss of the First Servant during Pike's call to Alora - it's a nice touch

La'An defending Uhura as she presents her evidence that Elder Gamal has been lying

What the fuck is a Mugatan breathing stone - I need answers (never mind, I looked it up and I don't want to know)

Deck 17 is the Enterprise's attic, apparently (why are there so many containers everywhere does the Enterprise not have cargo bays?)

The ascension ceremony top-side is beautiful if you don't know what's actually going on

Damn the brig is huge - everything on this ship is way bigger than I think it will be

Look, given how completely adorable and taken everyone is with the First Servant, I knew the kid was toast the first time I watched this episode, that's just the way fiction works. But every time I watch the scene where they take him down to the chamber and Alora is being all creepy about Pike being allowed in I want to jump into the television and pummel her into the ground. All of which to say, nice acting.

"You're saying there's no way to contact the captain exactly when I need to talk to him?" And Spock looking genuinely afraid as Number One advances on him saying this.

I can't describe how deeply uncomfortable and sad and angry the ascension scene is for me. Which I guess is the point.

They really threw Pike onto Alora's ridiculous circle bed as awkwardly as possible or that's just not a great camera angle

"You're damn right I'm going"

Eerie soundtrack during Pike and Alora's conversation is eerie

"Maybe in the future you'll feel differently." Great line and lot for Pike to think about given their earlier conversation about his future accident

Elder Gamal helping M'Benga develop a treatment for Rukiya, even after his terrible loss

I never have to watch this episode again

#star trek strange new worlds #lift us where suffering cannot reach #i hate this episode #it's not a bad episode it's just not for me #snw great things

[maggot-monger]

Hey 👋 N, P, R?

hiiii hello june!! <3

N. Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

hmmmm up until recently i would have said that i would like to see more intermingling of different groups within the spn fandom, or i guess more multiship blogs or whatever. as of quite recently the corner of the fandom i'm in has seen a boom in this though so i'm very happy about that!!! (only naming one because i'm blanking)

P. Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

oh god i'm not very good at AUs lol uhhh this is so self-indulgent but spn archangels grad student au is something i play around with on my way to and from school sometimes lol. they are members of a lab with a very famous & prestigious PI who is on sabbatical and refuses to be contacted.

michael is a fifth year phd candidate who insists on running lab meetings the same as if the PI were still around and is kind of stressed all the time from trying to finish his dissertation without guidance while also functioning essentially as the stand-in PI. he's well-known within the department for being involved in everything, highly responsible and diligent, but does best when he has a mentor. he's proud of himself for essentially stepping up to a professorial role while still a grad student and does not realize that he probably shouldn't have to do that (or should at least get paid more for all the work he does)

lucifer is a fourth year who clearly has the makings of a rising star, very smart and charismatic and communicates well, but also has some VERY controversial takes, which scares everyone but is also an asset in getting the field to pay attention to her (and is also just a strange person generally...she has a bunch of unpleasant side effects from the accutane she is on to try to deal with her skin that manifest emotionally and in physical things that everyone is pretty sure aren't actually related to accutane)

raphael is a third year and michael's officemate; they end up doing a lot of lab management duties that the others can't or won't do for whatever reason. they're the one who talks to administration and IT, who keeps records, who knows where all the materials are and how to use them, etc. unlike michael, they know they should be paid more and have been angling for that with the department and union but so far no luck. they no longer have the shine of being in their first few years in the program but they aren't working on their dissertation yet, so they often feel a bit adrift while also being the most locked into the lab's culture. they miss the PI a lot because the PI was actually very enthusiastic and supportive of raphael's work in a way michael isn't or isn't good at showing, so they're really looking forward to the sabbatical being over

gabriel is a second year and lucifer's officemate; there was some debate when he joined the lab on whether that was a smart office situation because on the one hand he shares some of lucifer's positive quick & flashy qualities but also nobody really wants to deal with another lucifer (raphael would much prefer to be gabriel's officemate but michael and lucifer used to share and the good of that did not outweigh how self-satisfied and disruptive they would get when constantly exposed to each other). he neglects his own work to focus on teaching which is not great but he is good at it and a really engaging instructor to have, but he's kind of chaotic about it and often misses deadlines as a result

R. A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

harry potter. idk it's complicated why i'm done with this one but it's for a variety of reasons.

[ramu-ego]

mind sharing your other fandom favs then? you have me sort of curious if ego is tots ur type LMFAOA .. omg aftwr u-20 win ego was such a proud dad the face he made was honestly sort of emotional ..!!

NEVVER APOLOGIZE 4 WRITING ANOTHER FIC IDEA HEL i think with my pussy half the time and i read ANYTHINGGG as long as it’s dom!reader (can you tell i’m desperate ORR WHATT?) ngl your “pussy dragging on the keyboard” comment made my ass giggle for a full minute LMFOAO i’ll be using that as well thanks!

personally 4 me i never was really into nikko ASSS MUCHH.. but i can see the hype .. cant stop thinking how sweaty and greasy his forehead must be after those thick ass bangs though.!.!?!

WOAH our timezones r so different HELLPP.. by the time you said it was 6:40 am, it was at least night for me, polar opposites in a way sorta! godd you’re a chronic coffee drinker?? i’m more of a tea person myself but coffee does power through most things with ur day anyways, don’t overdose on it or something!! (unless u alrdy do LOL)

i’ve been doing great as ever, taking my time to relax before i’ve got to get back to that tiring education life again.. 🥲 your blogs has been a good way to pass the time though so a win win for me!! for the blue lock anime last week, episode 10 was surprisingly good considering i was scared shitless of animation budgeting and if they would butcher it, sometimes the cgi makes me giggle but hell i’m such a blue lock supporter that i just move on from all of the questionable moments with the animation!

i’m a sub watcher for all animes (which, i haven’t touched a lot of animes .. if you’re an avid anime watcher, any recs?)

for me, u-20 match was an INSANE ride for me, def my fav and i always reread it in a way, i think everything leading up to it like the 3v3 or 4v4 matches were great too, but u-20 match was hype like no other !! whiichhh brings me to my next point, i need to see more of hiori as his design was just too cute for me to pass up, just the hair and the eyes were so ?!? eye catching imo..

oh jeez and there was this one panel with this blue lock player with the most nicest hair but he just. NEVER APPEARED LMFAOO? i haven’t seen him ever since — don’t even think we got a name

ah jeez i’m SOOOO SORRY if my messages get a bit too long, I HATE JUST RESPONDING INSTEAD OF. CONTINUING A CONVERSATION (if this makes sense?) .. so i tend to ramble ^^’ don’t feel pressured to mirror the length though!! i’d be heading off to bed as i send this message in, so this is sort of my goodnight :P - 💌

OH GOD THE OTHERS-

-this will be a dead give a way to some of my very very old followers who've accidentally re found me after I achieved my last blog and took a long hiatus. I have very specific...qualities...to a lot of them that overlap...

in order from top left to right; Kurono Yuichiro (Fire Force absolute love of my life and a near 1:1 character match to Ego honestly), Hanma Shuji (TokyoRev), Sir Nighteye (MHA), Asagiri Gen (Dr Stone), Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs), Ginoza Nobuchika (Psycho Pass) ...three out of the six are played by the same English VA so you could say I have a type 😂

To be fair my other categories for favs are literally all copy and print similar too. My "These are my babies I'm breastfeeding them and enabling them" favs are near identical copies in every anime I watch 😂 then the third less talked about group...the dreaded libra group 😒

SOMETIMES YOU JUST WRITE WITH YOUR PUSSY AND NOT YOUR BRAIN AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THIS STUPID NIKO FIC THAT'S GOING WELL OVER SIX PAGES FOR NO STUPID REASON BESIDES THE PUSSY DESERVES IT UGH

ok but to gush a moment before forgetting the Ego during the U-20 match...that panel!!! Oh god that panel!!! Of him telling Isagi that what happened to him and his career didn't matter, that he was fine to be blacklisted from the sport he loved bc he assured all 22 of them had a career in soccer after this game, win or loose, OH GOD THAT PART. I will literally fist fight anyone at this point who wants to shit talk Ego and say he "doesn't care" bc that man was ready to throw away his livelihood for them to succeed on a world stage in the sport they love. Man's got protective dilf energy and I'm giving him a child this uterus is open for business rn

Niko is....Ok I'm blaming it on his VA actually (sorry I watch dubbed I just literally can't focus on subbed) and his English VA is a well known one but did a creepy high pitched voice with it and I mean I'm willingly fucking Ego like I'm advertising I'll kiss that weird man's ankles but Niko- Niko is just too fucking weird for me. But apparently the pussy wants to challenge that bc fuck me with a six plus page story over god damn nipples! Niko is still....too ugly for me RIP

My time zone is fucked at the butt end of everything so I am WAY use to being the last one up and last one to go to bed in every fandom I've ever been in 🤣 Learned that as a teen when literally no one was ever awake when I was RIP. But yes I'm a chronic coffee drinker I've always have been the bean it calls to me I must have it (given I don't drink enough to like NEED it or get a headache I just enjoy the taste but love tea too) Drank it thru my pregnancy and drank it breastfeeding no one's pulling the beautiful bean from my mouth. Love me a good tea though I won't deny good green, black and other teas hit different. Just no herbal shit stuff makes me wretch istg

Glad to hear I started this blog in good timing then! Ain't nothing like relaxing with some good pegging when you're trying to forget that book bullshit 💅 And honestly even though I picked up the manga right after like episode two (needed Ego I wasn't waiting lololol) I've been very happy with the animation cuz like the manga is illegally beautiful. Holy shit is the manga just so well done and the drawings are top tier throughout the entire thing (coming from tokyorev and jujutsu god I miss manga artists that don't just scribble on things like a coke addict) Questionable animation or not they keep slut drawing Ego's hands so damn fine and that man's watch I'll forgive any animation doozie long as my weird looking stick man looks fine as hell

I don't watch sub (I just can't take in the actual show and read plus I got a mad voice kink so....dubbed it is for me) But I've watch a fair share of anime. Don't really watch it for like...the sake of just watching anime (prefer western cartoons a little more) but I've watched some really good ones though. First on the list, Fire Force. I've single handedly convinced like two dozen people to watch this. It's my favorite of all time and will be tattooing the weird looking man in the collage on my body at some point bc of how much I love that series. Mob Psycho 100 is amazing as always for so many reasons and it has a bit of everything for everyone. The Case Study of Vanitas was better than it was aloud to be and I hate vampires. Dr. Stone fucking nerdy funny and entertaining. Psycho Pass is a good like murder mystery book. Sonny Boy and Space Dandy done by the same studio and will make you question your existence. Kekkaishi is old but still one of my favorites ever. And Blue Exoricst I wrote a 60+ chapter fan fic on it for a reason and its still going strong and written by a woman! Don't know about any of their sub versions but their stories and characters are so good they're worth it.

That entire block from the five round selection to the U-20 game was just- Fucking illegally good for a sports anime?? A sports anime for crying out loud?? Even the way they introduce so many new characters is so smooth and not even clunky and you genuinely take an interest in everyone even if you only see them for one game?? Hiori is cute...a little more feral than I expected when we first saw him being cute with Isagi and Nanase. But Hiori, Otoya, Karasu and Kurona haven't like wowed me yet. I'm invested but I'm still going real fucking soft on Yukimiya right now like. God. The eye thing. LET ME BABY YOU AND HAVE THAT SAD MAN. God he's gonna be so fucking pretty when he's animated I'm screaming already

Was that the panel of the dude with Gagamaru and Raichi? The one that's shown on the blue lock screen but we never have an actual manga cap of him?

PLS DON'T APOLOGIZE I TALK TOO MUCH I WAS A HAIRDRESSER FOR FIVE YEARS I TALK WAY TOO MUCH PLS NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR TALKING TO MUCH AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL I'M SORRY I'M THE ONE RAMBLE. PLS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY SINCE WE'RE OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE SUNNY TIME. RAMBLE ALL YOU WANT I ADORE IT <3

#pls im sorry i talk so much #and i have so many feelings about blue lock holy shit #didnt feel this way about haikyuu like it was ok but blue lock hits different #helps i played soccer a lot as a kid so it hits home #but also it has ego #so bonus #anyways my types are all pretty strong....all my husbands are simliar for the most part #all my babies i wanna smoother are VERY similar #and then a god awful third thing...libras #im a predictable idiot and assume if i call someone ugly...i'll eventually end up liking them #:: thanks for the ask~! ✩ #:: 💌.anon~! ☆

Gratitude Journal

Yesterday I bought a new dryer. It's the first appliance I've bought all by myself, and including driving time it only took half an hour. I'm proud of myself for not freaking out even though I was making a significant purchase.

And then last night was another craft night at the library. We made little fake terrariums:

Janie, the gal I made friends with last time, was there, and while she didn't remember my name, she remembered I love reading and that I do yoga. She asked what I was reading and I told her about the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant, and the librarian leading the craft said, "Oh yeah, that's so good!" The librarian's name is Brooke, and I told her how I found the series through reading Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series, and when I learned Mira Grant was her pseudonym, I had to check it out. Turns out Brooke is the sci fi librarian (and oh my god, she looks my age, was dressed super cute, and is a librarian, like everything I ever dreamed of being as a kid!) and we discussed how Seanan writes some AMAZING stuff (Wayward Children, Middlegame, Newsflesh) but how a couple of her serieses are oddly middle-of-the-road (October Daye, InCryptid), and the difference in quality is weird. I lamented that I couldn't read more of her stuff because the digital licenses had expired, and Brooke shared how frustrating it is with publishers and digital copies, like some are 2 years, some are 100 checkouts, and some are whichever of those comes first.

So I got to connect and socialize, and oh oh oh! I was wearing my Welcome to Night Vale shirt and Brooke, being a sci fi librarian, was familiar with it! Janie asked if it was a horror podcast, and I was like "horror comedy," and Brooke added that is also really heartwarming. Which is true. And I told them about the Night Vale live show, and showed Brooke my pics of Cecil from it.

Kinda crashing today, but it was worth it.

Forced To Believe Chapter 24- Total Divas Season 1 Episode 7

Chapter Summary:  Melanie continues to spend time with the divas and encourages Jojo to sing)

Words: 1,000+

-----

'Grand Rapids, Mi At Hop Cat'

Jojo, Ariane, Eva Marie and Melanie, Nattie sit together. "I love me some pancakes." Jojo laughed.

"Jojo can eat whatever she wants." Nattie grinned.

"I know right! She's pretty lucky." Melanie smiled.

"So guys, I have some exciting news to tell everybody." Eva Marie said excitedly. "Um, Maxim wants me to shoot for them."

"Oh my God!" Jojo exclaimed as Ariane squealed and clapped for her.

"That's so cool." Melanie cheered.

"I'm so proud of you." Nattie smiled.

Nattie (As much as this pains me to say, I think Eva Marie has an IT factor.)

"Everything has been happening so fast," Eva said in awe.

Ariane (You know, you never know about the newbies. Cause in a blink of an eye, boom, they could be the face of the company and I'm worried because we can be replaced.)

Melanie (I'm proud of Eva Marie. That can really be her debut.)

"It comes out in August which is close to SummerSlam, I'm like, on cloud nine," Eva said.

"Wow..." Jojo replied, a little upset.

Jojo (I'm happy for Eva, but at the same time, I'm kind of bummed out that Eva is getting this push and I'm like kind of falling back. I need to be noticed too.)

"This can explode for you," Nattie added.

"SummerSlam, girl that may be a chance for you to make your debut girl," Ariane said.

"That's what I'm saying~" Eva grinned.

'Tampa, FL'

The Total Divas meet up for lunch and sit down together. "Well, you guys, Maxim magazine wants me to be in a feature," Eva announced.

"Awesome!" Nikki grinned as the other divas agreed

Nikki (When Eva Marie tells us the news, it is a little threatening, like here's the new push, here's the new poster child.)

Brie started telling everyone how she and Nicole were on a Spanish Maxim shoot. 

"I wonder what it's like to be in a magazine. Like, be on the cover." Melanie pondered. 

Melanie (I'm really happy for The Bellas and Eva being in magazines. Even though I'm in the WWE magazine, I really would like to be on the cover of it one day. But that usually is if you get a push or something. But never say never. I'll have my fingers crossed. It'll be cool to have a diva on the cover of the WWE Magazine. It's been a while since that happened.)

"So guys, I have a question. So Vinny, wants his parents to meet my parents." Ariane revealed.

"Ooh!" Nikki exclaimed. "When you have families meet, isn't that like taking the next step? Marriage?"

"Uh..." Ariane looked around.

"Jon met my parents before we started dating." Melanie grinned.

"Phew, good, I feel much better now," Ariane said as Melanie chuckled.

Ariane (I'm not ready for marriage yet, it's only been ten months. I feel like I really want to be able to spend more quality time with him before I make that big step to being married and having kids.)

"I'm not ready for that." Ariane confessed.

"You're not ready for marriage?" Brie asked.

"What makes you not want to get married?" Nikki asked.

"I just feel nervous," Ariane replied.

"I mean, do you love him?" Nikki continued to ask questions.

"I have love for him but I do not love him yet."

"What?" Brie asked, looking confused.

"Huh?" Melanie asked with confusion.

"What?" Nikki added while Brie made a sound effect of a car stopping.

"Wait a second." Jojo began.

Ariane (I think Vincent is an amazing, sweet, caring, loving, just all of the above. But sometimes he can push my buttons. Is Vinny the one? I don't know yet.)

"John walked into my life, and I would sacrifice things for him because he has my heart. But I hear you talk, I just don't feel the love." Nikki said.

"I feel that Nikki is ready to take the next step in her relationship but you're not. So why meet his parents if you're not ready for the big step?" Brie asked.

"Can I ask you one thing? Can you live without him?" Nikki asked.

"I don't know..." Ariane sighed.

'Powerhouse gym'

Trinity, Jojo, Melanie and Jon (Trinity's fiance) hang out with each other. 

"How's Eva?" Melanie asked as the girls lay down.

"She's really good." Jojo replied.

"That's crazy about the Maxim thing," Trinity said

"I know. It makes me want to step up and do something." Jojo sighed.

"Yeah, I feel you. You should."

"I have an idea but I'm kind of hesitant."

"What's the idea?" Melanie asked.

"Singing," Jojo revealed. "Like, at one of the Raws or Smackdowns."

"That's awesome. You should go for it. Your voice is talented." Melanie nodded in approval.

"I agree. You can really sing, I heard you." Trinity said.

"How about ya'll talk and work out. How about that?" Jon said. 

Trinity playfully threatened him while Melanie chuckled.

"It just scares me to talk to Mark and Jane. I don't want to be, 'Oh yeah I can sing' but then turn out and suck." Jojo said.

"This can make or break you," Trinity said as Melanie agreed.

Trinity (WWE is all about entertainment. Everyone loves singing and dancing. Something that people identify with.)

"Eh...I sing a little bit on my own. But you know..." Trinity shrugged.

Trinity (Jojo is on to something here. And I have no idea why I didn't think of this first.)

"What did you want to sing if you were able to go out and sing?" Melanie asked

"The National Anthem," Jojo replied.

"Oh!" Trinity spoke.

"What?" Jojo chuckled.

"That's a hard song to sing. I'd be terrified to sing that. There's no room for error in singing that song."

"I know it's really, really hard but that's why I'm like, should I do it? Should I not do it?"

"Would it make you feel better if I was out there with you?"

"That's a great idea." Melanie high fived Trinity.

"Yeah. If I was there with you, you wouldn't be as scared. Cause it'll be two of us." Trinity said.

"That'll be great. I would love that." Jojo beamed.

"How about we do our song?" Trinity suggested. "Somebody call my momma."

"Really?" Jojo widened her eyes.

"It's a fun song, everybody loves it. We can even bring Ariane in the mix. It can be all three of us. Destiny's child."

"Ooh, what about Melanie? Can you sing?" Jojo asked.

Melanie shook her head. "Just dance."

"Melanie can break it down for us." Trinity grinned

"I would love to but I can't because it would totally break my character," Melanie informed them

Melanie (Yeah, being The Shield's Girl and Dean Ambrose's girlfriend onscreen would not fit well if I was dancing with them.)

"Darn...I wanted you to booty pop." Trinity chuckled.

"Destiny's child? That's pushing it." Jon chuckled.

"You don't like the idea?" Jojo asked.

"I do like it," Jon replied. 

Melanie and Jojo laughed when Trinity jumped on Jon and grabbed him from behind.

"Oh my god, Trinity what is wrong with you?" Jon exclaimed as he fell off the workout ball.

'WWE Main Event'

"They're about to go out there." Melanie walked over to Eva Marie and Brie.

"This is going to be in front of thousands of people." Eva Marie said.

"And this is live. They can't mess up. There's no redos." Brie added. 

Eva Marie, Brie, Melanie, Jane and Nattie watch Jojo, Naomi, and Ariane in the ring, singing.

Jojo (Oh man...we are not off to a good start at all.)

"Yikes..." Melanie cringed as she watched them sing while the girls agreed 

Eva Marie (This is really bad. Everyone sounds off key. I hate to say it, what goes around, comes around. And it's kind of what Jojo gets for not supporting me.)

After their song, Trinity, Ariane and Jojo walked up to them backstage. 

"Oh my gosh, how do you guys feel?" Brie asked.

"Okay." Ariane said

Trinity (I think it wasn't the best but I think it was okay. It's mediocre.)

Ariane (I guess it wasn't a complete train wreck or was it?)

Jojo (This is an epic fail. Honestly I'm not sure what my next move is.)

Coffee

My first blog. One night while working graveyard at home I felt an urge to share my life as a mother. My son is 7yrs old and this is my first time to be with him as a full time mom. I have worked abroad for about his whole life, only visits during vacation breaks. Anyway, while I create an account here in Tumblr and as I browse, checking on blogs I remember my all time favorite and partner in life; COFFEE. Oh I so love coffee. I remember I started drinking in college at 17 years old. But that time I consume it out of need, not love. It's like, you know what I mean. Right after I graduated I worked in the call center industry in the Philippines, that was year 2007. Yes I'm old with not so much to brag, no significant accomplishment at this age. Yes, I am worried. Yes, I feel the pressure. When I was young I am what they called that time a Hopper. I don't stay in one company for than six month. In 5 years of working in a call center the longest I have been with a company was 1 year & a half. I am so not proud of it and worse I regret it. I decided it wasn't for me. So I flew to Thailand and worked in casino. I told myself, "Yes this is it, I found a job that is not boring." Then "The" Pandemic came. My life didn't crash, no, but finances were significantly affected. After 6 months of no work thank God I found a job however with less pay like half of my previous salary. I was really grateful though. At that time I was still considered lucky. The reason I brought my career up is of course Coffee. In the Philippines, coffee in our culture is not echt compared to other countries. We usually drink instant coffee at home which I truly missed when abroad. You won't see a lot of coffee shops around. In Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia coffee is superb! Iced coffee in Cambodia is just 20,00 riels, relatively like 20 pesos in the Philippines. Imagine how cheap it is. You can find freshly made coffee for about 5,000-10,000 only. When I came home to my country, price of coffee is higher and taste is bland. Almost everything here in the Philippines are of poor quality. You rarely get your money's worth especially when it comes to food. If you are a minimum wage earner you definitely will think twice before buying brewed coffee. Do we Filipinos deserve it? NO. You know what I did? I brought back home 10 packs of Khmer and Vietnamese coffee, haha. Though I didn't expect to consume 6 packs in in 3 months. Btw my favorites is Thai black coffee and an Espresso shot or iced with milk. For some reasons they don't do espresso here in town. Now my mission is to find "My" kind of coffee before supply runs out. Cheers!
