more ethan requests you say??? dont mind if i do🙏
maybe studying w ethan for school but he keeps getting distracted by readers lip gloss and her lowcut shirt and eventually r notices and is like " :( poor bby" and a make out session(and hj???) ensues
ur the best ily MWAH
hi ily thank you for the request 🫶 making out but no nsfw!
"Okay, so..." You start working through a problem, Ethan picking up his pen to follow along. Both of your pens work down sheets of paper, but your conversation has wandered away from math and onto other things. Ethan has just made you laugh when he makes the mistake of looking to his left at you - and his focus on the work in front of him completely breaks.
You look as gorgeous as you ever do and your lips, pulled up in a smile as you look at Ethan, are coated with shiny color. His eyes linger on you even as you turn back towards your notebook and Ethan has to force his eyes back, too.
But that shirt you're wearing is making it very, very difficult.
Ethan shakes his head to clear it, willing himself to bring himself back into the conversation you're currently having with yourself. He smiles when you start to tease him for his forgetfulness; most recently, how he showed up half an hour late to a hangout because he forgot which train to take.
"Okay, it was one time!" Ethan insists with a scoff (though he bites back a smile).
"And how many times have you gotten lost this year?"
Ethan groans.
"Okay, this month?"
Ethan gives you a look while he watches you laugh. He can't even pretend to be annoyed when you look like that. "You're cruel."
"You love me."
"I do."
You smile, looking at Ethan shyly. It's not often that he's the one making you flustered, a certain pride in your chest knowing that you usually hold that power. But sometimes, Ethan's honesty gets you worked up in the worst way - mostly because Ethan isn't even aware he's doing it.
You hit his shoulder lightly. "Focus." And you're back to your notebook, but Ethan's pen doesn't move.
"Hey, you were getting me off-topic," he protests, trying to pay attention to the paper in front of him.
"It's not my fault you can't multi-task," you call.
Ethan grumbles. "I can totally multi-task."
He really can't.
It's quiet for a while, but it's comfortable. Ethan will occasionally hear you hum or mumble something under your breath as the two of you work and he lets himself look, just take a glance.
That was his biggest mistake.
Ethan watches your face scrunch in concentration, watch you bite your bottom lip.
He turns back to his notebook quickly, but it's too late. All he can think about is what your lip gloss tastes like.
A few minutes (probably a few seconds, but it feels like minutes to Ethan) pass and Ethan can't help another glance.
This time, you're resting an arm on Ethan's desk and you're pressing yourself close - to get a better view of your homework, Ethan's sure, but the angle you're in brings his attention to the low cut of your shirt.
Ethan feels blood rush through his body and he pulls his eyes away, face warm and red. He glances at your face, just to check if you've noticed his staring. You haven't, thank god, and Ethan can't help but steal one more look before turning back to his notebook.
Oh, he is so done for.
He's trying to block out distraction, trying to focus back on his work. He's blocked you out, too, in the process - Ethan doesn't realize you're talking to him until you're shaking his shoulder.
"Ethan," you groan. "Are you on 12e yet?" Your arm has wound around Ethan's, your chin coming to rest on his shoulder to take a look at his work. "Ethan! You're not even on number five yet?"
You sigh, separating from Ethan and turning back to your paper. You're on your own.
Ethan misses the contact immediately, scooting his chair over to wrap his arms around your waist. "I can still help," Ethan offers, eyes finding 12e and reading through the problem.
"No," you sigh. "I should do it on my own."
Ethan frowns, pulls you around to face him. "I can just do it for you," he grins. He'd really like for you to forget all about your homework.
You giggle. "Very sweet, but you can't take my tests for me."
Ethan sighs. "I wish I could."
There's really no way you can look away from him now.
"You're cute." You cup Ethan's face with one of your hands, the other resting on his chair, next to his leg, to support yourself as you lean forward. Ethan shifts as you lean in, swallowing thickly as you get dangerously close to your face. Your lips look even prettier up close and Ethan stares until the very last second, only shutting his eyes when he feels your shiny lips on him. The kiss is soft and quick and it leaves a little bit of sticky residue on his lips.
"Sorry," you laugh, trying to wipe off the transferred lip gloss. Ethan blinks hazily as your hand holds his chin, thumb rubbing his lip.
"'S okay," he mumbles out.
You're so close he's getting dizzy. Ethan gulps. His face brightens. You can feel his cheeks warm from under your fingers and you look at him curiously.
"What's wrong?" You ask curiously.
Ethan burns. "N-nothing." Very convincing.
You tilt your head and you look so perfect. Ethan sighs. "You're just... so pretty."
"Really?" There's a little humor in your voice. You're not wearing anything special today, just casual jeans and a shirt. You look down at your outfit to see if it's somehow changed between the time you got dressed to now but you don't see anything particularly extraordinary.
But you can tell you won't be getting any work done, not when you've somehow becomes the biggest obstacle between Ethan and homework.
"Aw," you grin, taking Ethan's face in your hands. "Would a kiss make you feel better?" You offer with a grin Ethan can't see.
Ethan smiles shyly. "Please?"
How could you refuse?
You kiss Ethan slowly, though they don't stay that way for long. Each kiss grows in intensity and his eyelashes flutter when you kiss him again, deeper than last time. You tilt his head and he makes a sound in the back of his throat.
Your lips are off his and leaving sticky kisses on Ethan's face (though, by now, more of your lip gloss is on him than it is on you). Ethan is looking at you desperately, pulling you in for another open-mouthed kiss, giving you a chance to place your tongue in his mouth.
Ethan makes another sound and the next time your lips disconnect, the both of you are breathing heavily.
You thumb at Ethan's lips again, admiring the little bit of shine left on them.
Ethan's eyes flutter shut again, lips parting slightly, but your fingers on his lips make his eyes open immediately.
"That's due tomorrow," you whisper, motioning to the abandoned work.
Ethan groans.

Helloo, can I request Miguel with an artist reader who draws him a lot? 👉👈 Like the reader has a secret crush on Miguel and he inspires them a lot, without even knowing it. And maybe there's a Gwen-and-Miles-like-situation where Miguel by accident discovers the drawings of him in their sketchbook?
AAAAAAAA ANON THIS IS SO CUTE !! tbh i wanted to finish the miggy fic i had for ate @binibinileonara bc i wanted to connect these two together, BUT I COULDN'T RESIST, I'LL MAKE IT SEPARATE BC WHY NOT !! thank you for the lovely idea btw (i also had an idea like this actually in my notes) THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE OOMPH TO DO IT !!
(reblogs are greatly appreciated, it helps get my content out there! if you guys like what you see, please reblog it too <:D)
Tumblr media
you always had this desire to capture all that interested you in its full beauty, in its unbridled greatness. that was, to you, the essence of all your art pieces; they always reflected how you saw the world, how you saw nature, how you saw people.
you never believed people had one or two faces to them, you believed people were multi-faceted, that every person was a kaleidoscope of beauty, skills, quirks, flaws, fears, hopes, and dreams. you loved capturing every bit of people who intrigued you the best you could, and you hoped that if you stood back and admired the big picture that was them, going over the details and fibers that made each person their own–from the good, bad, pretty and ugly details–you would finally see the whole, uncut image of the person you were illustrating; who you were painting in the colors you saw them in, the colors that stuck with you and filled the empty canvas of your mind with all sorts of shapes and splotches of hues and shades that formed the image of them when their name would come to mind.
and for some reason... that person to you right now was miguel o'hara. you had a lot of things to say about him, even words that many would argue don't exist. you felt a myriad of feelings when you were around miguel, and you knew there was more than just the dictating leader miguel that everyone was familiar with. like all people, miguel, too, was an explosion of different kinds of colors to you–colors that only you could see, because when he was around you... he was more than just the cool, calm, and collected boss everyone saw him as.
he was much more caring, much more funny around you. his smile when you told him a funny story illuminated a bright yellow and a warm orange to you–his eyes would twinkle and you'd see the hazelnut brown in his eyes, and a shade of what appeared to be coffee brown at the bottom of his irises. he exuded a commanding aura, a dark, cool blue–but when paired with you, and only you, he exuded a bright red; a color of fiery passion, intimacy, and most of all... attraction.
he was the subject of your affections, you, the soulful and emotional artist that admired him and all that he was from afar and up close. you admired the way he held your hand when you were scared on a few missions, you admired how gently he held you when you two were caught between a rock and a hard place; and how soft and loving his eyes were when they gazed at you. you knew he might have felt a platonic kind of love for you, what with being so comfortable around you and all, but you felt a different kind of love for him–and you hated denying your creative side the indulgence of capturing him in all his beauty.
hence, you began slowly filling the empty spaces of your sketchbooks and notebooks, or whatever other papers lay around when inspiration struck you, with images of him and only him. you caught his face in moments where he was nonchalant, disappointed, angry, grumpy, and... smiling.
when you witnessed his smile for the first time when you met him, that image was burned into your retinas, into your mind, into your heart. you saw that smile from the minute you went to bed to the minute you woke up, the only thing that saddened you was that you could never hold that man who smiled at you and made your heart beat a little faster–you could only watch him and be with him at a distance. but art was the bridge between you two that'd close that distance you wanted to cover so, so badly.
you did, at times, believe what you were doing was... a little creepy. you refused to let anyone see your sketchbooks even before you drew him, and that was out of embarrassment at your drawings. but now, it was a new kind of embarrassment, a feeling adjacent to guilt and disgust at how nobody but he could fill your mind and have you wanting to keep him in your mind by feeding yourself, indulging yourself in putting him on paper and coloring him in; to be with him at a closer perspective than how you two were in the real world.
you had to admit it–seeing him constantly in your mind, wanting to let thoughts of him out on paper as you wanted to be through with imagining him, but knew you couldn't the more and more you portrayed him–it meant you... wanted him. you really, really loved him.
you knew nobody should know, nobody had to know about this little crush you had on miguel. you'd rather die than have someone peek at your sketchbook that was filled with all kinds of drawings of him. but unfortunately, the man himself bore witness to your caricatures and illustrations of him when you left your sketchbook at his office.
you ran as quickly as you could, praying he hadn't opened it out of curiosity. he was always asking you what you were up to, and you'd immediately shut your sketchbook and laugh awkwardly, claim you were merely doodling. you always left out the part that you were constantly drawing him, and only ever him; and now, he'd find out.
as you entered his office, scouring with your eyes for your sketchbook, a figure emerged from the darkness behind you and gave a slight cough. "this is yours, isn't it?" that low, fluid voice was none other than miguel's. you turned around in fear of what he was going to look like–would any of the faces you drew seeing him as be one of the faces you'd see?
to your surprise... no. he had a different, completely new face that you had never drawn him in; a flustered state. he was blushing, his angled cheeks and high nose bridge were covered in a pink-red hue–and he was grinning. he handed you the sketchbook with a now sheepish smile. "i'm sorry, i wasn't sure if it was yours. i had to... look through for a name. and, um... it was very–" he wanted to continue, but then, he saw you were on the verge of tears.
"i'm... sorry..." you muttered, feeling incredibly ashamed of yours and busted for having indulged in drawing him without him knowing. guilt stirred in your stomach and elicited tears to well up in your eyes. miguel smiled, and as his eyebrows curved upwards together to form a look of reassurance, he placed both hands on your shoulders.
"listen, you have a wonderful talent. i'm sorry if you don't hear that enough, but that changes today. i'm so... wow, i'm so flattered you thought i was good enough to be drawn that way. it feels... amazing, to know an artist sees me fit to be their, what would you call it?" he asked as he wiped a tear rolling down your cheek away from you.
"a... muse." you whispered, wiping the rest of your tears away. miguel chuckled. "right, a muse." he said as he inched closer to you, with the sweetest smile on his face. "i might sound really crazy right now, but... i want to be your muse. i really, really want to be your muse." he said, with emphasis on 'your'.
your face lightened up as the tears that welled up gave your eyes a glassy look, and you saw the blush on his deepen as you became more and more flustered. you smiled and wrapped your arms around his chest, pulling him in for an embrace you needed to release. "and i want to be your artist. only yours." you whispered, to which miguel reciprocated your hug. and it was here that you witnessed him in a new color, a pinkish, reddish hue that made you feel all kinds of happiness and excitement.
a love meant to be captured and painted in with bursts of emotion and care for one another.
a/n: I'M SO SORRY IF IT DIDN'T COME OUT THAT WELL NGL I MADE THIS A LITTLE RUSHED 😭😭😭 BUT I LOVE MIGGY HERE PLSSS AND I HOPE Y'ALL LOVE HIM HERE, TOO <333

Tumblr media
[Flashback]
“Omg, Thank you so much for coming!” clapping happily as Jimmy pulls up to the venue you asked him to view with you, it was about 8pm and you wanted to see how it would look inside with the skylight roof. “You know I got you sis, plus I know uce like the back of my hand.” Jimmy hugs you once he exits his car, heading inside with the key the owner gave you.
The inside was beautiful especially with the sky being practically night but still a bit light out. The moon shining bright through the skylight, letting the marble floor glisten and the walls darken around.
You guys were there about 30 minutes taking small notes and measurements for the plan you were setting up, “I like the red because it’ll look really pretty under the lighting that I’m getting, but I’m not sure about the black.” You reply, as Jimmy mentioned the color scheme. Looking around the room again to get the feel for it, “Too dark.” He nods before thinking of some other colors to make the room pop.
“What about silver, red, white? I mean it’s simple it’ll make the room sparkle…” Perking up happily as Jimmy side glances at your mention of sparkles. “Girl. Sparkles, really?” His facial expression making you burst into laughter. “It’s my anniversary too!” giggling before writing down the idea in your notebook as a reminder to send to the interior designer after getting your own perspective of the room.
---
It’s now 9:40pm, both of you have viewed the entire venue and included things that you needed to buy or fix up before the surprise. Jimmy was a great help, especially with the measurements or telling you about small cultural details to add to the venue to make it more special. You couldn’t have chosen a better person to help with the surprise anniversary party you wanted to throw for Jey.
“Alright now, get home safe.” Jimmy hugs you once you declare the work finished, “You too! And thank you so much for the help again.” Grinning at tonight’s success as you lock the door and put the key in your purse. “Say Hi to Trin for me too!” You call out before getting into your car and putting your address into the gps. He gives me a thumbs up, pulling out of the parking lot quickly to get home to his girl.
[Present]
You haven’t seen Jey in 2 days, and every time you tried to call him, the call would decline, and he’ll text back “What were y’all doin?”. You called Jimmy (and Trin) to tell them what happened with Jey, at first you were relieved when Jimmy mentioned how he could call him and fix it.
That was until when he did call, Jey picked up quickly before saying “Fuck you,” and hanging up just before Jimmy could even get a word in. Should’ve known though, because his dramatics used to be one of your favorite things about him, it would make you laugh or just lighten the room, but as of now it’s doing the exact opposite.
So, you decided to wait until Summerslam to try to message him again, an even worse decision as Jimmy goes out and betrays him that same night.
Watching your phone go from hundreds of mentions on social media to thousands in a matter of seconds, the fans were never merciful with those who they don’t like, and they sure don’t like you right now.
“Just pick up and be an adult.” You practically yell at your phone as you call Jey right after the PPV is over, the rings now being impeded into your brain as you listen to them play repeatedly.
Ik you see my calls so just answer them 🙄
I didn’t want to call you earlier and I don’t want to call you now 🤨
Joshua. Literally answer, we need to talk abt this
We can talk in person.
Our flight is at 11pm
Okay be safe 💗
Seen
He got home last night but didn’t say a word as he unpacked and got into bed. If anything, Jey was so silent that you didn’t even realize he was home until you felt the bed shift.
---
The next morning, you were up preparing breakfast for the kids before they headed off to school. Leaving you and Jey in the house alone. The house that was once filled with soft laughter, or just interesting conversations, is now completely silent and cold.
You understand him, you know how he acts and why he does it. You were just hoping he wouldn’t be that way with you, “Josh… can we talk now?” voice barely above a whisper when you walk back into your shared bedroom. His eyes shooting up to make eye contact with yours as he sits against the headboard on his phone, “Yup.” Jey’s voice monotone as he looks back down at his phone.
Letting out a soft sigh at his attitude, unconsciously speeding towards the distant man, missing his warmth and comfort. “Do you really think I cheated?” getting straight to the point, you understood what the public thought, but you wanted to know if Jey truly believed it. Jey’s gaze caressing over your body before coming back up to your eyes, hurt visible inside of them, a loud huff leaving his nose as he drops his phone into his lap.
“I want to say no, but something in the back of my mind is saying otherwise.” He expresses lowly, his gaze not easing up as your own softens. “You believe that I would cheat on you. With you brother?” eye contact now separating as he looks down at his hands, “I would never, I could never do that to you or myself.” Your voice delicate as all your pent-up emotions seem to leak through your words.
Your words were never second guessed to Jey, even when he has the underlying thoughts of what people say. “I know…” is all he could muster up to tell you, this wasn’t a conversation that he ever though he would have to have with you.
“I don’t think you do. You left me.” His heart breaking at those words, he doesn’t like this feeling. Especially since it’s coming from the only other person that he knew would protect him with all their might. “I-I’m sorry. I’ll prove it to you, I’ll do anything. I’m sorry.” His voice cracking as he pleads to you desperately, he couldn’t imagine not being with you, not knowing that you’ll be there when he gets home.
“Then prove it.” Your voice quiet compared to Jey’s harsh breaths. “I’ll do anything, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it.” His eyes falling onto yours, the desperate pleads starting to mumble together as you watch the different emotions flash in his intense gaze.
---
“I told you; I’ll do anything.”
A sort of muffled cry leaves your mouth as Jey grabs your cheeks with his large hand. The touch is gentle, yet rough as he squeezes and moves your face to look into his eyes. A teasing smirk forms onto his lips when your eyes meet his again, “What’d I tell you, baby?” his eyes filled with lust.
Another moan leaves your plump lips as your cunt tightens and hips lifts off the bed, pushing itself further into Jey’s thrust and the vibrator he’s forcing you to use; still in your hand pressing against your clit. Trying to create space away from the vibrator and your sensitive and puffy clit.
Jey’s free hand comes to hold your wrist in place, an annoyed groan passes through your throat, your body tries to squirm away from the vibrator that is now impossible to move. “Stop running away baby. I’m finally back.” Your body tries helplessly to get away from the vibrations spreading painful pleasure through your body and the powerful thrusts from his cock. 
“You wanted me to prove it, yeah?” An annoyed grunt travels through the air when your walls flutter and clench around Jey’s thick dick, your body squirming starts adding on to the tightness surrounding his cock, making his thrusts less precise.
“Yes baby!” Your hands reach for something to grab before stuttering and trying to push his hips away from yours in a panic, Jey grabs your throat, squeezing gently as the now found pleasure sputters through your body. Holding you in place impatiently, his head leaning down to your ear. “Look at you, you couldn’t cheat on me baby. You’re a mess for this dick.” He teases before placing a small peck on the outer shell of your ear.
Jey chuckling at your pathetic state, adding more pressure to your wrist to dig the vibrator further into your clit. Your walls flutter around him in response, a moan leaves his mouth as his eyes snap close to savor the feeling.
The warmth and tightness suck his cock into your pussy greedily, practically begging him to continue pumping into you. His eyes open slowly as your moaning and desperate noises fill the room.
“Take it. Take all of me.” His deep groans fill the room tauntingly. Eyes rolled back deliciously before closing tightly, jaw hanging open because can’t close no matter how hard you try to force it shut. Jey smirks teasingly at your state and gives you a particularly deep thrust that causes your pelvis to jolt upwards shakily. 
A thick whine travels up your throat and passes the pressure he applies to your throat. It causes Jey to chuckle condescendingly, and he places a quick kiss to your cheek. The tenderness of the act distracts you for a moment, giving him the opportunity to release your throat and pull the vibrator from your overstimulated clit.
 A surprised squeal leaves your mouth at the cool air brushing over your sensitive cunt. Jey takes the time to slow down his thrusts, observing the fucked-out look that covers your face. You look gorgeous with eyes that can’t see clearly and skin that tries stupidly to cool your body down with sweat. A soft groan leaves his lips, and he speeds up his thrusts again. “I love you!” You practically huff out as his thrust seems to knock the wind out of you.
“I love you too.” He shakes his head in amusement before grabbing your wrists and pinning them to the pillow above your head as he gives your cunt the last of his pleasurable thrusts before stilling and coating your walls in his cum. You both let out tired sighs as the pleasure courses through your bodies until it dies down into a faint hum. Jey gives your wrists a tight squeeze before letting them go and slipping out of you.
His body warmth now gone makes you whimper, and he kisses your forehead lovingly as an apology. He sits back up and caresses your face with a small smile. It causes your heart to flutter, and you’re bought out of your fucked-out phase. 
When your eyes clear and meet Jey’s, he breathes out a slow breath, “That’s my girl, now I need you to sit down on my face. ‘Kay?” He speaks more of a demand than suggestion. Eyebrows furrowing at this man’s high sex drive, barely being able to recuperate from your past 2 orgasms.
He taps your thigh quickly to get you out of your trance, forcing your body up and switching positions. His large hands delicate on your soft waist and pulling you gently down onto his face. Adjusting you, so you sit perfectly onto his lips, his tongue quickly going to lick up your swollen folds.
“S’good. Suck me baby, keep that mouth busy.” He mumbles into your puffy cunt, your hands going to garb his erected cock, immediately wondering how many times you’re going to have to cum before he goes limp.
“Oh… gentle- please!” You whine out as Jey sucks on your clit roughly. Quickly letting go of the sensitive bud and deciding to tongue fuck you in between your folds and lick you clean. You let out a whiney moan before you spit onto his cock, stroking him up and down a few times before taking your tongue to swirl around his tip.
"Fuck, that’s it." He voices out as you begin to ride against his motions while you prepare on your end to take all his cock into your mouth. You start off slow, teasing Jey by licking a stripe up his shaft before lowering your mouth halfway down.
You pull back up, your hands stroking near the base at the same time you bob up and down. Your moans are muffled against his cock, but Jey is eating the fuck out of your pussy, and you genuinely want to sob.
"Josh, wait fuck-" You yell but he continues. "You're-you're gonna make me cum so fucking fast."
"Do it for me." He teases in between. He begins to slowly work his hips into you, making his cock fuck your mouth ever so gently.
As you continue sucking him, you feel your high coming to a close, especially when Jey is toying with your folds with his tongue and taking advantage of the way you work your hips against his mouth.
"Joshua! Ah, so close! I'm-I'm—" You try to continue stroking his wet dick to keep yourself occupied but fall limp into his pelvic as your hips continue to ride out your 3rd orgasm on his skillful mouth.
"Shower time?" Jey lifts your hip from his face with a chuckle while you gather your breathing, forgetting completely about his orgasm.
"Mhm." You mumble as you push yourself up and roll to the side of him, knowing exactly what he expects when he asks the question.
Even though you both needed to shower, your bodies coated in cum, sweat, and spit, you guys just laid there breathless. His arms pulling you into his embrace, you missed this. You missed him. "Join me Baby." Your eyes diverting into his gaze softly at his question, before nodding silently. Too tired to even say a word anymore, hoping that his past expectations don’t apply here.
Finally deciding to head to the shower after a small pep talk, remembering you guys must clean up before the kids get home. “I bought you something!” Jey perks up from the closet as he walks towards you with one of his new shirts, not even phased about the fact that he’s naked.
Smiling at him, you head into the steaming shower, the hot water immediately cleansing off your sticky body. “Don’t leave me baby!” He jokes when the fogged door slams closed.
Sooner or later, you see his silhouette passing the glass, the door slightly swinging open again as he lets himself in. You subtly bite onto your bottom lip as you look at him up and down, his member quickly hardening when he sees your wet body gleaming under the light.
The shower started off sweet, and comforting. Jey gently working his hands into your scalp to massage the shampoo and conditioner in your hair. He helps wash it off, continuing to work his hands in the same motions, causing your eyes to shut briefly at his tenderness.
You returned the favor, turning and him unintentionally bending his knees for you to get a good grip on his hair, working the shampoo through his curls. It's quiet, and the only sounds in the bathroom are the running water and the water bouncing off the tiles.
"You're so beautiful." He says, helping lather up the body wash on your back before you help with his and wash off. He gives you a warm, small smile before dipping his head to press a kiss on your lips. But at this point, you don't want to pull away at all. Instead, you want him to continue, your hands rest on his neck, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss.
 You gently bite on his bottom lip, tugging back slightly as you keep your gaze on him. "Fuck. We’re supposed to be getting clean." Jey whispers when you pull away, a small groan being released from his mouth as he pulls you by the waist, his hardened member brushing against your clit.
“You’re right. Now let me go.” Your self-control comes hurdling back as you realize the whole point of the shower, “Damn… you ain’t even want to pretend like you wanted more.” He complains behind you as you rinse off again, not for any reason but it just felt right.
Winking at the desperate man behind you once you shut the water off, leaving the shower to get dried off. His hand slapping your ass quickly when you leave him as he just stands in the shower contemplating the situation.
"I did all that proving, and you can’t even give m-me a little suck?" His voice vibrating off the shower walls as he complains, you can see his hands flying around with his stutter. Giggling, you continue to do your own thing, not paying the giant baby any mind.

“Lark?” Izzy repeated, brows furrowed as she paused spinning in the desk chair. “Where’d you get that from?”
“I don’t know, it’s just an idea,” Duke replied, feeling his ears burn slightly. He wiped the rag over his helmet a tad bit more aggressively than before, frowning at the streaks forming on his visor.
“You know, the whole bats and birds theme they have…it kinda makes sense.”
She quirked one pierced eyebrow. “I guess, but you gotta have meaning beyond just ‘it fits the theme.’”
Duke rolled his eyes at her unflattering imitation of his voice before dropping the rag and lifting the helmet high, in an unnecessarily Hamlet-esque manner. “Whatever, it works for the time being. Besides he picked it out.”
He turned towards Riko, who’d been sprawled out across the floor scribbling furiously in her notebook. “What do you think about all this?”
She perked her head, squinting at him. A smudge of red marker was smeared on her cheek, and all over her fingers. “If your name is Lark, then why don’t you have any bird connection to your outfit at all?”
Duke’s jaw dropped. “What are you talking about?”
“I’m serious.”
“The yellow and black, helloooooo? That’s what a lark looks like.”
Riko shrugged, a mess of dark multi-colored bangs shadowing her eyes. “That’s just my opinion.”
Duke scowled and brought his helmet back down, cradling it against his chest. “Don’t listen to them.”
Izzy stared incredulously. “Are you talking to your helmet?”
“Yes. Leave me alone.”
Riko chewed thoughtfully on her pencil eraser before speaking. “Your helmet looks like a cat.”
Duke whipped his head at her. “What?”
“Yeah, it looks like a little kitty, not a bird,” she continued, deciding to just continue on rather than take back her statement.
Izzy burst into laughter, swinging her feet onto his desk. “I see it!”
He narrowed his eyes briefly at the sight of her sneakers on his workspace, but turned back to Riko. “It’s supposed to look like a bat.”
She thrusted her marker in his direction with a mischievous gleam in her eyes. “Meow-Man! That shall be your new codename!”
“Hell no.”
“Yes!”
“Since Catman is already taken,” Izzy chimed in, blinking innocently when Duke rolled his eyes.
“You guys are so unserious. I don’t even know why I invited you over.”
Riko didn’t let it go. “Why would you have a bat helmet anyways if you’re a lark? Like there’s no connection.”
“The connection is that Batman hired me-” He stopped and sighed. “You both are so annoying, you know that?”
A huge shit-eating grin adorned Izzy’s face. “But you love us anyways.”
Well, she wasn’t wrong.
Riko tossed another rag, aiming for Duke’s head even though he caught it easily. “Well, finish polishing your outfit, Meow-Man. Aren’t you scheduled to leave in a half hour?”
Duke groaned, glaring at the ears on his helmet that, for the first time in his mind, really did look like they belonged on a cat.
He was definitely going to have a chat with Bruce later on patrol.

jumping in here to ask the classic "would you still love me if I was a worm" with the ROs please :"
Koda: "Would I be a worm too?" A big pout downturns his lips, brow furrowed. "I wouldn't like not being able to communicate with you. But! If I was a worm too that wouldn't be an issue." He wraps a well-muscled arm around you. "Don't you think that's a good plan? We'll be two worms in love."
Scarlett: A dark chuckle leaves crimson-painted lips, emerald eyes flash dangerously. "My dearest heart, do you truly think I wouldn't hunt down the witch that hexed you and make them change you back?" She steps closer, nose grazing across your cheek, before her lips gently press a kiss to the shell of your ear. "I will love you in any form you take, for you are my one and only, but that doesn't mean I won't destroy the individuals who have the audacity to think they can take you from me."
Cryus/Cyra: They seem floored by the question, multi-colored eyes flashing between gold and red as they try to figure it out. "I-Is that a trick question, Anon?" A beat of silence passes before their gaze narrows into slits. "Wait!? Is this just another long-drawn-out bird joke? I thought we agreed to stop all animal-related quips. Do I need to get out my notebook again?"
Quinn: "You'd be a worm." An almost incredulous look etches itself across their face. "A wriggly, slimy, worm. I think I'd try my best to get you turned back, but I wouldn't pursue any form of relationship with you." Knowing how that sounds, they offer an apologetic smile and gently bop your nose. "I'd make you a little pouch and carry you around though. How does that sound?"
Caden: "O-Oh," they murmur, worry etched across their features. "I don't think I could see myself not loving you, no." When you wrap your arms around them in response, they allow a warm smile to curl their lips, even though it falls only a second later as worry worms its way through their chest. Their nose nuzzles into your neck, arms tightening around you. I just wouldn't know how to break that news to your mothers.
Sloane: They scoff. "What kind of bullshit question is that?" Turning back to their unlit cigarette, which still dangles haphazardly from their lip, they don't turn back towards you, even as they continue to mutter to themself, trying to get their match to light. But, sensing your dejected mood, they let loose another, more drawn-out, huff. "Look, Anon." They spit out their cigarette for good measure. "The worm would be you, yeah?" At your nod, they shrug. "So, how could I not love it?"
Blake: "This some kind of weird roleplay, angel?" A salacious grin upturns their lips, violet eyes shimmering with amusement. "It's not something I've ever heard before, but I give you props for creativity." At your incredulous look, a bright laugh escapes them, showcasing that they had simply been kidding. "I've never thought about loving a worm, but I've definitely tried to love worse in the past. And none of them were you underneath it all."
Reginald/Regina: Blue-green eyes widen in alarm. "Can that actually happen?" They quickly pat their sides, checking if they were suddenly being transformed into a worm. "What would that even be like? Would you still have all your intelligence and memories? Or would you actually be a worm? Would any of your vampiric instincts--" At your look, they trail off, and offer a half-hearted smile. "Sorry, I just think all of the possibilities are fascinating, but for your question? I think so, yeah."

Cliché' get Closer
Tumblr media
Synopsis: When the local 'bad boy' of your institution falls in love. There is a palpable tension that hangs tantalizingly amongst you. The universe plays its game to make the two of you, end up in compromising situations. Cliches that have your heart throbbing!
Characters: Hanma Shuji, Ran Haitani,
A/N: trying something new with multi-tenses
Tumblr media
𝐑𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐈
You have no idea how you ended up like this. As far as you remember, it was supposed to be a study session for Ran who was failing miserably.
...
The teacher had suggested Ran take peer tuition from you. He had walked outside the classroom and looked at you. Your eyes meet. Amethyst pupils…Ran Haitani's eyes were the prettiest you had ever seen. He looked at you half liddlely, twirling his dual-coloured braids in his fingers.
The expression on his face was unreadable. You can feel your heart pounding in your chest. You couldn't help but be embarrassed, but you couldn't help but stare at the tall and broad-shouldered man in front of you. His eyes scanned you up and down and then he smiled, his intense gaze softening. You felt a warmth spread through your body as if the sun came out of behind the clouds.
"Y/N could you come here for a moment, I need to talk to you,” he had said to you and you nodded apprehensively at your friends before following your older classmate. He's bad news. Everyone knows that. They avoid him like the plague. It's just him and Rin.
"What is up?" you asked softly, your heart was beating out of your chest due to an expression you don't know.
Ran took a deep breath and rubbed the nape of his neck, “So uh I don’t know how to put this, but I am failing all my classes and our homeroom teacher recommended me to talk to you if you would be interested in giving me peer tuition...since you are smart and stuff.” He said awkwardly and looks at your reaction.
You bit your lip as you considered all the options. He's a delinquent, a violent person, a known bad boy and basically the kid your parents tell you to stray away from. But its studies. if anything goes wrong you can always tell the teacher, right? There is no harm in giving him a chance... that's what you had thought.
...
Ran Haitani was insufferable.
"Wait what- how did you do that?" he asks, keeping his head on the table, like a puppy and you almost get the urge to pet this murderous delinquent.
You sigh and explain for the 5th time, "See you can't apply y=mx+c here since the graph is clearly not a linear function. It's not a straight line, but a symmetric curve. What did I say it is?"
Ran looks at you blankly and then answers, "Cubic function...?"
You facepalm at his answer and then look back at him, "It's a Quadratic function. y= ax^2 + bx + c."
"Ohh, now I get it." Ran nods and quickly scribbles in his notebook.
You sigh and rest your head on your palm as you look at Ran. Whenever he writes, his dual-colored braids move slightly. His knuckles are bruised as if he punched someone, and there is a tiny mole just above his lips. The way his lashes flutter innocently when he reads the problems almost makes your heart race. You can't help but be drawn to him, even though you know you shouldn't be. He looks up and catches your eye, and you quickly look away, feeling embarrassed. You take a deep breath and try to focus on the paper in front of you.
"Done," he says enthusiastically and you take his notebook and scan through the equations, you then look up at him with a smile and nod, "All correct, good job."
Ran smiles proudly and leans back on the chair, "You are a good teacher." You smile at his words and lean back in your chair, observing him silently.
"Say, Y/N," he asks quietly, "do you have a boyfriend?" He spins the pen between his fingers with dexterity. You look at him for a moment, feeling a slight flush on your cheeks. You shake your head lightly, averting your gaze. "No," you say, your voice soft and airy, "I don't have a boyfriend."
His gaze lingers on you for a moment, his lips curling into a small smile. He nods his head ever so slightly and turns back to his work, spinning his pen in his fingers.
It's Ran Haitani, you have to remind yourself. The notorious delinquent of your school. You can't help but feel your heart flutter in your chest. He had always been a mysterious figure, never talking to anyone, but in that moment, he had seemed almost human. He wasn't the same person that everyone whispered about in the hallways, but someone more complex and intriguing.
"What are you thinking about?" he asks and rests his face on his palm. "Well anyways I think this unit is done." He says proudly.
You nod and pack up your things, "I guess that's it for today, I'll let you know if I'll continue the tuition by Monday. You say, ready to leave as he grabs your hand.
"Wait," he says gently, "let me walk you home." He wants to make sure you get home safely and is showing a kind gesture by offering to walk you home. He also might be trying to extend the conversation and see if you want to continue having tuitions in the future.
"Alright." You two leave the library and walk in silence for a while. Your tote bag with books slung over your shoulder.
The sidewalk is almost empty. The two of you stroll toward your house peacefully, but suddenly a rampant kid approaches with his bike out of control and you don't know what to do. At this point, he is incapable of controlling the bike due to its speed. "Move!" he shouts, unable to control the bike.
Ran panics as he thinks of a way to escape and does what seems the closest escapade. He pushes you and himself towards a wall on the right, his hand behind your head. Ran looks back at the kid, scowling at him and then he looks into your eyes as his breathing speeds up. He has you pinned to the wall. Your watery eyes peering up at him almost make him want to tilt his head and capture your lips in his.
He coughs and moves away, a faint blush adorning his face. "Let's go." He says as you two walk towards your house. There is silence again, but it is awkward.
He pauses as you two reach your house. You nod at him, about to enter in as he says.
"I look forward to our next tutoring session, Y/N. Maybe this time I could teach you a thing or two."
Tumblr media
𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐌𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐉𝐈
"I am regretting my life right now, Hanma Shuji," you whisper-shout as he unlocks the window of the library.
"Relax, sweetheart, I'll get ya' out safe and sound," he says and you feel warmth on your face at that term. You and Hnama had been paired up for an assignment and he had kept on delaying it until the end till the research for the final conclusion of the project was still left.
...
So there he was on the floor of your dorm room, the importance of the university assignment is finally hitting him.
“How do we get the research? Is the internet enough?” He had asked and you shook your head.
“It’s such an oddly specific topic that if can only be done by a few textbooks that are in the library. It would be closed by now! The deadline is tomorrow.” You said rubbing your finger on you temples.
Hanma sighs, his tongue rests on the corner of his lips,”Its my fault I get it, it was a two people project, you handled so much on your own while I was preoccupied with gang shenanigans.” He said, for once taking his education seriously because he knows this accounts to huge percentage of the aggregate and more importantly cause it’s you.
"Lets sneak into the library then," he said and you frowned.
"What? Its 11 PM right now, it must be closed." You huffed.
"Just trust me."
....
The lock opened with a click and he urged you to go in first. You bite your lips and climb into the low window with Hanma's help. His long fingers grip your waist as he easily hoists you up on the sill and the climbs up himself. His tall stature making it easy for him.
You both land on the library floor with a plop and Hanma whispers, "where is it?"
"Probably the left wing, lets go," you whisper back , standing up as you walk slowly to the set of shelves.
Hanma switches on the flash of his phone as he searches through the titles with you, checking the spines of the books, you look at the downward shelves while he checks the upper ones.
"Got it!" He exclaims and takes out the book and shows it to you. You nod in approval at his efficiency. You both switch off the flash and are about to leave when the guard's footsteps are heard.
Your eyes widen as you look at Hanma with a fear-struck expression. Hanma quickly grabs your hand and huddles at the back of the rack with you. He gazes behind the shelves and both of your heartbeats are pounding.
The guard flashes the torch around and leaves. You breathe a sigh of relief, but soon realise the way you are pressed against him. Hanms seemed unfazed, but you could tell that wasn't the case by his rapid breathing and heart thumping under your hand.
You could feel the tension between the two of you, the palpable heat radiating off Hanma's body as you pressed up against him. You both seemed spellbound at the moment, neither willing to break the gaze or the silence that hung in the air.
His hand shakily reaches your cheek to brush the strands of hair that fall on your face. His amber eyes, seemed to be searching for an answer in yours, as though he was trying to read your mind and uncover the secrets of your soul through your gaze alone. You could feel the intensity of the moment, each of you seemingly lost in the other in a way that felt both frightening and exhilarating at the same time.
" 'S pretty," he mumbles hoarsely like it's your name, his back against the side of the bookshelf. He whispers with a dulcet voice that kissed the air like the smell of a fresh blossom of Night Jasmine.
He did this cause he was guilty that has stressed you out more. You who makes an annoying softness in his heart light up, how he subconsciously bends a little while he talks to you, bites his tongue from using crude words…what have you done to him?
You were supposed to be just another student in his batch, when did he get addicted to your voice? When did he start noticing your perfume notes?
It's only an attraction he thinks. Only pure infatuation that comes with your expressive eyes and endearing demeanour...but it's not, it's so much more at it kills him.
He then snaps back into reality and helps you up on your feet, giving you no chance to question his words, "Let's finish the assignment first...we could go for coffee tomorrow."

Hey if you are still taking requests could you maybe do Noah, Cody and Ezekiel with a mute reader?
Pairings; Noah/Reader, Cody/Reader, Ezekiel/Reader (All seperate)
Warnings; Cursing, Cody being weird, Ezekiel himself, Teasing.
PLATONIC !! 🫂
vv
---------------
Noah
, This guy would be the sarcastic and moody friend, Saying rude remarks about people in front of their faces when someone talks rudely of you.
, Will glare at the person who talks horribly of you and WILL smack talk the hell about people infront of their faces not giving a damn if their hurt or not.
, Noah would definitely be surprised if you did speak though, And would definitely say a rude remark without realizing it.
"You sound like a dying man gasping for air."
, Will probably gossip about people while your there just listening.
, He probably said a lot of rude things to you when he first met you, But when he warmed up the rude remarks just stopped and happened slowly when he got confirmation you
Cody
, Cody would be supportive and really chill about it, Telling you how hot Gwen is from time to time because everybody would just tell him to shut the hell up, He appreciates how you dont though. He does shut up though if you give him a angry glare.
, He will rant about his hyper fixations while your eating your food.
, Cody will definitely fix whatever electronic you or someone broke. He'd gladly do it!! Your the only person who listens to him anyways.
"You dont have to say a word my friend!! I'll fix it for you!! Just give me about like, a day or two?"
, Cody names you "Silent" While you put his nickname as "Chatty" in your contacts.
, Cody will punch someone if someone makes fun of you.
Ezekiel
, This guy would be your friend when he was rabid and you tried to look for him out of worry.
, Like Tarzan idk?? He'd probably be hesitant to trust you at first because of the horrible shit Chris has done to him because he was unlikable.
, He warms up to you soon and follows you around like a damn dog. Would probably kidnap you and Chris wouldnt care as long as you were the favorite in the show.
, He will literally rabidly attack others who smack talk you.
, He trusts you more then anyone else, Because even though your mute you cared for him when he was rabid and actually went to LOOK for him.
, He literally cant talk himself lmfao. I think he lost his memory of speaking or whatever so he relates to you alot. But he can read your body language!
-- end --
ROMANTIC ❤‍🩹
vv
----------------
NOAH
, He isn't that big on realizing how others feel but he can read your facial expressions and body language!
, He likes to say "If you don't speak that means you love me." And he smirks stupidly as you dont say anything.
, Noah personally does NOT know what to do in romantic relationships.
, He will be extra rude to people when they are rude, Or if he eavesdrops on people talking smack about you behind your back. He gets irritated just by hearing people talking badly about you when they dont KNOW you.
, He gifts you a notebook with a multi color pen, If you break it then he will stare at you with disbelief and call you a dumb ass.
Cody
, Nothing really changes with this guy, He rants about his day and some random stuff.
, Will probably spend his lifesaving's on candy and wrap it up in the most nicest gifts ever just to give it to you as a suprise, Like imagine waking up to Cody getting jumped by the girls (if you are a girl) just because he placed a gift of chocolate on your bed.
, He's the type of guy to give you flowers and intentionally buy milkshakes so you both can have edible straws and drink out of it.
, Sorry for saying this but he wears your shirt under his normal attire. And if you were in TDWT and it was that one jungle episode where you both were caught, He'd intentionally give you the x ray glasses.
, He lives with his mom. Trust.
Ezekiel
, You probably have dark humor or He just bothered you until you got a restraining order against him.
, He didn't stop flirting with you though.
, Eventually you found him silly and felt bad for him so you dismissed the restraining order.
, He brushes his teeth every day for you.
, when he turns rabid he still brushes his teeth because he doesnt want his teeth to be piss colored even though their already crooked (I think) around you.
, Tries to impress you by giving you flowers except he got them from a grave yard due to him being a broke fuck.
, He leaves dead animals on your bed as a love language.

The Manager (Ghost Fic) Chapter 1
Summary: The Ministry announces an outsider coming to be part of the congregation to help with the Ghost project as a tour manager; little did the Ghoul know; she is nothing like they pictured her or how she'd affect them all.
Support My Work!
Tumblr media
"Now, I want you all to be nice, ghouls! This is the third manager we have had in the span of 6 months! If you dare run her off-" Copia wagged a finger at the group resulting in a few scoffs.
"It's not our fault the last ones didn't know how to handle us." Dewdrop sneered crossing his arms behind his back.
"Dew, you caught the poor girl's dress on fire!" Copia protested waving his hands around wildly
Dewdrop's smile was anything but innocent. "I was showing her a party trick."
Swiss snorted beside him making Rain whack the Multi-Ghoul on the arm with disapproval. "Papa we'll be on our best behavior I promise!" Rain vowed before giving his packmates a glare. "Right?"
Phantom snickered but it ended up in a cough as he met the small Water Ghoul's stern glare. "Right, we promise Papa."
Copia huffed and nodded just as the doors to his office opened and a Sister walked in. "Papa, your guest has arrived." she announced as she stepped aside to allow the figure behind her to step up.
She was not at all what any of them had imagined. She was not of their Ministry, an outsider very much out of place standing in Copia's lavished office and it made the Ghouls so silent as Papa stepped forward with an extended hand to shake the one the young woman offered.
"Ah, Mrs. Whitmore thank you so much for coming on such short notice!" the man said as he shook the woman's hand before placing a kiss on the back of her hand.
"I should be thanking you, Copia. I was really intrigued when we spoke earlier about this proposition," she replied with a warm smile. "And please, call me Ari."
"Si...please take a seat!" Copia waved her over as he shuffled behind his desk.
The woman, Ari gracefully moved over to the chairs; casting a friendly smile towards the masked figures standing off to the side before sitting down and placing her leather carrier case on the ground by her feet. She wore civilian clothes, a simple pair of jeans, and a warm cream-colored sweater that was sure to keep her warm in the cold season of Autumn that swirled leaves through the abbey with its chilly breath. Her hair was dark brown and curly; pulled into a neat ponytail at the back of her head. Definitely not what they had imagined when the Ghouls were informed a new replacement was being put on the Ghost Project as a manager; in all honesty, they had expected an older woman in her mid-forties - Sister Imperator's age...not this....lovely creature sitting there right now.
She was so attentive and open as she spoke with Copia, coming well prepared as she slipped a notebook from her bag to take notes on as she listened to the papa speak; jotting down vital information to store for later, no doubt.
"Ah, and before I forget and get ahead of myself this is a file of all my ghouls with their personal information that has been taken down and noted from the previous managers to ease your transition-" The file that was pushed towards her came to a halt as she placed her hand on it; stopping its movements.
Her smile was small but sincere as she pushed it back to the man across from her. "I won't need it." she said sitting back.
"But-but Mrs. Ari-" Copia floundered in confusion; only going silent when she tipped her head at him with an amused smile tugging at her lips.
"Copia, I would like to get something straight. I do not plan to leave anytime soon or be run off. The others who worked for you taking care of your needs and those of the ghouls while on tour lacked one particular detail that is vital to a job like this; I can tell you that much without having to meet the previous managers."
"And what is that mio caro?" the man asked curiously
"They lacked a sense of vulnerability to this job." she lifted a hand idly as she spoke and waved it around as she continued.
"I presume since they did not last long they didn't take the care to actually get to know the ghouls they had under their care. They saw a job that needed to be done and when the pressure of their personalities got the best of them - they left because they couldn't handle it. They didn't see their job as anything more than a paycheck and that was their first mistake, their second was that they didn't take the time to understand the ghouls and their needs; instead looked at them as if they were just a hindrance or a child they were having to babysit. What differentiates me from them, is that I do, in fact, care about this project. Not because of the pay." she turned her gaze to the silent group that had yet to make a sound since she arrived.
"I care because I know they are not just an object to be used as a tool for this project. Without them, the project wouldn't be possible and thus they deserve as much respect as they do the comfort of knowing they won't be overlooked and undermined simply because they are not human as you and I." she returned her attention to the man; her laugh of delight at his gobsmacked expression causing the corners of her eyes to crinkle as she smiled at him.
"So, I won't need those files. Everything I need to know about your ghouls, Copia I will learn on my own by actually getting to know them personally; not basing them off of a spreadsheet in a folder." she pushed the file back towards him before closing her notebook and putting it away into her own bag.
"Now, I know we spoke about the details of my job description but I hope you would shed some light on what I can do to help when we are not on tour. What will my duties off tour include?" she folded her hands in her lap and stared across at the skull-faced man; waiting patiently for him to pick his jaw up off the floor and gather his own thoughts before speaking.
"Ah, si. So, it is no real difference then what is expected of you on tour. You will manage their practice schedule, and make sure they have everything they need when the seasons change; each ghoul is particularly sensitive to the change of seasons for obvious reasons. When not with the ghouls I will need your help with planning out the setlist of the next tour, being there for practices to make sure everything is going well, taking notes when needed; booking venues and ticket booth stuff as well as merch stalls while we aren't on tour. Planning for the future tours and such." Papa explained watching as Ari nodded slowly while she took in his words.
She was not stressed in the least; the amount of work that seemed to be piled onto her plate was a rather big task to partake in but she didn't sweat it and instead took in the information carefully; the look in her eyes making Copia imagine her gears turning as she filed away data.
"And lodgings?" the woman finally replied.
"You will be staying in the manager's suit across the hall from the Ghoul's wing for easy access when you're needed. I hope that is alright with you?" Copia looked suddenly nervous but relaxed when Ari merely shrugged and pursed her lips.
"Sounds like a solid plan, now before we end this meeting Papa would you mind giving me the previous work files of the last manager on duty so I can see where they left off?"
"Si si...you certainly don't miss a beat." Copia laughed as he rolled away a bit to dig through a drawer in his desk.
"What can I say? I'm very thorough." she gave a playful wink before extending a hand to grab the rather large stack of folders labeled differently on the wings.
"Thank you, Ari. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership." Copia gave her a warm look and Ari returned it with one of her own before she grabbed her bag from the floor and rose to her feet with the folders tucked against her chest.
"Likewise, Copia. Now, if you don't mind...I do have a few bags that are waiting in the lobby for me to take to my new quarters and I'll retire for the evening to sort all this mess out." she tapped the folders with a finger.
"Si si mio caro. We'll talk more tomorrow, if you need me I'll either be in here or in my bed chambers down the hall! In the meantime, my ghouls will show you the way."
Ari nodded and headed for the door, pausing only briefly to look over her shoulder when she heard footsteps behind her. She snorted a bit as she opened the office door and slipped into the hallway; joined moments later by the black-clad figures.
"You aren't a very talkative bunch, are you? that's alright, I'm sure we'll get to know each other soon." she said as she followed the group down the hallway.
"Did you mean it?" a voice spoke up shyly to her right causing her head to swivel to peer at an average height Ghoul as he walked right behind her shoulder.
"Hmm?"
"About what you said back there to Papa. About us." he clarified.
"Of course I did! I don't say things I don't mean, honey," she replied with a small smile. "Now I know my word means nothing to you. Trust isn't something that's easily given when it comes to strangers but I hope we all can be friends while we work closely together, alright?"
The ghoul nodded once before falling back into silence as they led her toward the Ghoul Wing. They stopped at a wooden double door across the hall from another and paused there.
"We'll have someone bring you your luggage in a few minutes. In the meantime, Mrs. Whitmore this is where we will part ways..." the tallest of the ghouls spoke up in a rumble.
"Thank you for the escort." Ari smiled back at him before turning to open the door only to stop when another voice piped up.
"Hey! Err, before you go...we just wanted to let you know we appreciate what you said back there to Papa and...if you want...we'd like for you to join us at our table for breakfast in the morning, for proper introductions and such, y'know?"
Ari chuckled and turned to look at them. "I would love that!"
"Okay, cool. We'll uh, we'll come pick you up?" it was stated more as a question than a statement and Ari smirked in amusement.
"Sounds like a plan. Goodnight, guys. Sleep well." And with her parting words, she slipped through the door and softly closed it behind her.

Ik this isnt part of the ask game, but would you consider showing us how you outline in Trello?? It looks so freaking effective!
I have been waiting for someone to ask me this question. thank you so so so so much you’re going to regret asking lmao
Tumblr media
so as I said before I use Trello - a free cloud based project management tool - to outline and write my fics (and also for my to do list and my Christmas present shopping and vacation planning and literally everything) because, to be 100% honest with you, I have no chill. I have never been relaxed about anything. ever. not a single day in my life. and therefore I marinate on fic ideas in my mind for months (sometimes years!) before I start doing anything with them. this is my process I use for everything I write and we’re using Mar[r]y Me as my example!
the first thing is the idea. I get an idea and I word vomit vibes into the closest thing (notes app, google doc, scribbling into my work notebook, texting a friend) and then I marinate on the idea. I first had the idea for Mar[r]y Me on January 25, 2023. it went through several iterations as I shaped what it was going to be and below is what I sent to Jordan in June 2023 and it’s the basis for the story we’ve all been following. (or mostly, it’s changed quite a bit since then.)
Tumblr media
once I’m ready to start writing I create a board in Trello. think of a board like a white board, you then add “cards” which I think of as sticky notes except with a lot more features. also my process is the same no matter if it’s a one shot or a multi chapter fic, it just depends if it gets its own board or it goes into my one shot board. (which is filled with ideas waiting to be written lol) anyway. this is the Mar[r]y Me board!
Tumblr media
for a multi chapter fic like this each chapter gets a card in the IN PROGRESS list (they move to the right as things get written/posted). each card follows a template: title, due date (loosely assigned to get an idea of what a posting schedule may look like), a label (always being with need to plan), and a checklist. also the chapter outline - obviously.
before I get into the outline, I use the labels as a nice visual representation of what the status of everything is. as the screenshot below shows, the each writing stage has its own color (and I use the color blind color schemes so I get the fun patterns too!) and it gets changed as we go along. it helps me know at a quick glance where everything is at the moment.
Tumblr media
I also love the checklist feature, see below. which basically has all the steps I need to follow once I have a chapter written and ready for final editing. it may seem like overkill but I work long hours and you’d be amazed at how easily my brain forgets things lmao. so this ensures nothing is missed when I’m getting ready to post.
Tumblr media
now onto the outline. my outline goes from something super basic, to a few bullet points, to an in depth summary of what’s going to be written. using chapter one as an example of this progression.
1. this is the og outline for the whole story. just a dream and a vibe and one sentence. literally.
Tumblr media
2. the expanded outline for chapter one
Tumblr media
3. just a small section of the final outline I used to write the chapter. a lot of my final outline ends up being actual sentences that I use in the final draft, I basically write the chapter in bullet points and unfinished sentences.
Tumblr media
4. I use the very expanded outline to write the actual chapter. following along bullet point by bullet point. an example from chapter 9 since that’s what I’m writing rn.
Tumblr media
5. once everything is written, all the bullet points have been used up or ignored, I transfer it into google docs and read it to myself, editing as I go. once I’m happy with my final rough draft I use grammarly to idiot check things because I’m an engineer not an English major. then I start using the checklist (teaser posting, creating tumblr post, etc.) and then the worst part. I walk around my home office and I read the entire chapter out loud to myself and make final edits as I go. is it excruciating to have to listen to myself speak the flirting I’ve just written out loud? yes. have I made myself cry multiple times? yes. do I find a lot of rough spots and smooth them out? yes. that’s usually done on Thursday nights.
6. from there it’s all final editing and formatting and scheduling the final post. I also have to create the accompanying recipe post for Mar[r]y Me so I do that too. and we post on Fridays! sometimes I share the google doc link with friends so they get an advanced copy of the chapter and sometimes they get to be surprised with everyone else (I’m running behind schedule and don’t have time to share it lmao)
it’s a lot of work for something I’m producing for free but I genuinely love it so much and it helps me keep everything straight. there would be so many lost ideas and abandoned thoughts if I didn’t do it this way. it’s crazy that this the first fic I’ve ever written and that I’ll probably be close to 90k words by the time it’s finished.
if you’ve made it this far thank you for indulging my very intense brain and it’s processes. I love the community we’ve created here on this blog and I’m so excited to keep writing and sharing. and I especially want to give a big thank you to my very good friends Ames, Alexa, and Jordan. Mar[r]y Me would not be the story it is without them and I can’t thank you enough for your love and encouragement during this story.

helped a customer and accidentally stayed almost an hour after i was supposed leave cuz i was already helping her so why not go all the way until she has to check out
also i saw a guy with a cat in a backpack carrier thing and he was letting it play with the fake plant leaves in the mall
it’s about 20 minutes before i get off work and a short lady in a wheelchair comes in
i’m near the register putting markdown stickers on stuff and i look over to see if she can like, actually go thru the aisles in our store (sometimes they’re not wide enough or there’s bags in the way etc.)
at one point she drops a few notebooks and it looks like she’s gonna drop all the ones she’s holding (something about her hands doesn’t grip right or something idk i didn’t wanna be rude by staring)
anyways i go up to her and i’m like ‘i can hold those at the counter for you‘ and she gives me the notebooks and basically we both go over to the notebooks and i’m over here taking one of every size and design out to show her cuz she can’t see some of them
i lay out a group of large single subject spiral notebooks, she chooses some, i set them aside, then do the same with the large multi subject ones, small single subject, and small multi subject
we go over to the counter and i offer to check them to see which ones she’s already gotten, she asks if i can check for damaged ones and replace them and i’m like ‘ye ok sure’
i do so and also put the spares away, get her to choose another so that she has 8 notebooks (it’s buy one get one half off)
my manager talks to her and she decides to get a large bag
i help her get a bunch of pens (there’s a full price side and a discount side)
discount side has a bunch of colored pens in different types so i get her a piece of paper and also 1 of each design, uncap and click all the pens, and then put it on her left side cuz the pens are on her right but apparently she’s left handed
and also cuz she can’t get to the higher pens; if it were me i’d wanna try them all
she tries them out, chooses an inky one i remember from my high school days (and by that i mean when i used to take pens from the office i interned at cuz i liked the colors )
i get her one of each color and convince her to get a 6th pen cuz of the 3 for $5
she goes to the sale section, all the stuff is in crates so i describe all the items and roughly how much they’re on sale for
i open like 3 different candles and hold them out for her to smell cuz she doesn’t want to accidentally drop them, she gets 2 of them
we go over to the counter, by this point it’s like 6:30pm
i was supposed to leave a half hour ago but i’ll be damned if i let someone else help this lady, this is my customer now
i bring down 7 more candles from behind the register and hold them out for her, she chooses 2 of them and asks about the candles at the front of the store so i kinda sprint a little and get the 3 display ones
i never really smelled them but she said they all smell the same, just with different colors and characters on the container, she gets the red one
she asks about the hand sanitizers and gets 2, i stop her and ask if she wants to try them out first to make sure she can like, actually use it (y’gotta push on a thing and it spritzes out hand sanitizer), she tries it out and it works
it’s now 6:40 something PM and i’m ringing her up, she has 8 notebooks, 6 pens, 5 candles, 2 hand sanitizers, and a large bag
i fit them all perfectly into the bag and my manager is trying to do some kind of discount honoring thing on the computer? idk
a few minutes pass by and i’m like ‘... so while this is happening, can i interest you in-‘
the customer laughs as i pretend to try and sell her a squishy stress toy
we figure out how to put the bag on the back of her wheelchair and she leaves
it is 6:50pm, i have stayed almost an hour after my shift (it’s not the customer’s fault i just wanted to finish helping cuz i was already doing it)

Hello witches! I am a new-ish fic writer and have a question for y'all and your followers -- how do you stay organized writing multi-chaptered fic? Do you put each chapter in its own googledoc, or just in one doc with visual breaks? I'm feeling a little disorganized trying to distinguish what I've already posted but not wanting to break up the whole story in my files. Curious to hear others' strategies and systems!
Hi, friend!
This turned out to be a fascinating discussion for the coven, as we discovered that all the witches who write all have completely different ways of getting and staying organized while they create.
Some of the methods included:
A notebook with handwritten notes on themes and outlines
Using a single google doc that includes chapter headings which creates a table of contents and then changing the headings to include “posted” once they’re up
A Google folder with multiple documents for ideas, character details and arcs, as well as the manuscript (and additional copies for betas)
A single doc with different color text to denote what’s written, what’s been edited, and what’s been posted
Separate docs for each chapter, kept all in one folder
If you have funds available, Scrivener is a great tool
So much of the creative process is trial and error and finding what works best for you. Good luck as you figure it out!
We'd also love to know what our farm witch friends do, so please let us know in the comments or on a reblog!

First Meetings! Wind & Four
Thank you Borf for beta reading this for me! Go check them out of AO3
《~⊙~》
Wind opens the door to heir dorm room and looks in.
Hey sees a small bathroom, two beds, two desks with drawers, and two wardrobes which are tall rather than long.
Looks like heir roommate hasn’t arrived yet.
Wind shrugs and places heir things on top of the bed facing the wardrobes, essentially claiming it as heir own, and leaves to explore the rest of the dorms.
On heir floor, hey finds a kitchenette, a lounge, and of course, the elevators, and the stairs. Hey meets the RA of the floor, Sky, they strike up a conversation and ae seems like a nice person. 
As they talk, some people pass by and whisper about something named “The Coke and Mentos Rocket Incident.” Sky glares at them and the students scuttle off to their rooms. Then the older student turns aer attention back to Wind as if ae hadn’t just terrified three twenty-year-olds with nothing more than a glare.
Wind is now walking back to heir room, torn between leaving Sky alone for heir own personal safety, or subtly pranking the guy until ae notices.
Option number one sounds boring, but it’d be safe and hey wouldn’t get in trouble. Option number two sounds fun and it would have the benefit of knowing how far hey could take heir pranks, but it was dangerous if hey got caught or took it too far.
Oh, who is Wind kidding? Danger meant thrills and thrills were fun! Of course hey’ll prank Sky. Hey’ll stop for a while if a prank goes too far, though. Teasing is fun, but people getting genuinely hurt isn’t.
The door is unlocked when hey arrives back in heir room. Wind turns the handle and prays heir roommate won’t be a douche.
On the bed facing the entrance is someone almost Wind’s height!
They are wearing a multi-colored hoodie, shorts, multiple rings, and wristbands. Posters and flags hang from the wall on their side of the room. As for heir roommate, they’re sitting on their bed, pencil in hand and a notebook on their lap. Beside them is a metric tape and a calculator. They’re so concentrated, they don’t even acknowledge Wind entering.
The boy decides to not make heir presence known and instead goes to make heir bed.
Heir roommate mutters to themself words Wind doesn’t quite catch. Hey decides hey doesn’t care.
Once heir bed is made, the blonde takes out a book to read and sits on the bed facing heir roommate. If they have noticed hem, they don’t show it.
After a few pages, Wind looks up again and finds heir roommate staring at hem. Hey waves a little.
No reaction.
Huh, they must be zoned out…
Wind cocks heir head to the side, wondering if and how hey should prank them.
An idea comes up and a mischievous smile forms across heir features.
Hey lays down on the bed, one leg stretched out, the other bent, and rests one of heir arms on heir knee while the other props hem up; posing model style. 
A few minutes pass and hey gets up, grabs heir leg, and lifts it behind hem.
All the while, Wind stares at the colourful student on the bed across from hem, who is yet to react at all.
As time goes on, heir poses become exponentially extravagant and difficult.
Hey goes through a lot of different styles of posing. Hey even does anime magical girl poses!
A few poses later, heir roommate blinks into awareness and lifts their head. They startle and take in the scene in front of them before meeting Wind’s eyes.
Hey almost can’t contain heir laugh at the other’s expression. It’s a perfect mix between amused, confused, and weirded out; and it’s golden.
“Am I,” Wind says, turning around so heir back faces heir roommate, and puts heir hands at heir hips. “Hot?” Hey twists heir torso in a thirst trap pose and flutters heir eyelids while making eye contact with the person on the bed.
Their eyes are wide, and eyebrows raised.
Their eyes are locked onto one another and a short eternity passes.
A giggle escapes the colorful person’s throat, then a laugh. They bend over and cover their mouth with their hand.
Wind can’t help it, hey laughs too, breaking the pose.
“Uhh, hi..?” heir roommate says. It sounds more like a question.
“Hey! My name’s Wind.” Hey takes a deep breath to calm down. “I go by hey/hem; it’s they/them without the ‘t’. What about you?”
“I’m Four, they/them.” They stretch out their hand.
“Nice name. Whatcha drawing?” Hey shakes their hand.
“Thanks, I chose it myself. We’re designing something.” Four shows Wind their notebook. It has a drawing of something that looks like a bunk bed, but someone forgot the bottom bed. Calculations and measurements fill the edges of the drawing. “Elevated beds are superior. Do you want to help me?”
“Hell yeah!” Wind pumps heir fist in the air before pausing for a moment. “Wait, is the workshop even open?”
“It is. We checked earlier today.” Four puts their notebook away and eyes Wind’s book. “So, do you like reading?”
“Kinda. I like libraries more than reading and books themselves, but sometimes I’ll find a book that just hits different, you know?”
Four laughs a little. “Yup. Some books are simply that good. And libraries feel like their own little universes.” They nod in understanding. “What do you like, then?”
“Video games, shenanigans, and texting my sister.”
“Shenanigans?” Four raises an eyebrow.
“You know, pranks and stuff,” Wind says nonchalantly. “But I don’t think I’ll be able to pull a lot of them because of our RA…”
“Did you meet them?” Four hopes they have a nice RA.
“Yeah, aer name is Sky. Ae seems nice, but I really don’t think you wanna get on aer bad side.”
“Oh. Is ae one of those people?”
“Yeah! Ae scared off some students with just a glare. They weren’t even freshmen, they looked like they lifted weights.”
“Really? With a glare?” Four asks, incredulous.
“Yeah! You think I’d lie?”
Four laughs. It’s sweet, melodic, and contagious, so Wind laughs too.

i was tagged by @nostradamus0, thank you so much!
favourite movie trilogy of all time: the peter jackson lotr adaptations, extended editions, no contest. nothing compares.
name of the main character in the last book you read/book you are currently reading: i'm currently reading a book of essays, so—no main character, but i was reading two novels at the same time before that, and the main characters were benedikt (from the slynx) and rocannon (from... you guessed it... rocannon's world).
favourite color combination: this is so difficult to choose, but i'm always into a citrusy yellow-green + amber combo, maybe with a splash of lilac.
most common craving: salt and fat! so, i tend to crave rich foods like macaroni and cheese a lot, or often just potato chips. i also get random cravings for green things—spinach, broccoli, etc.
favourite word: i literally went to my notebook full of words i like for this one, and i'm gonna admit that i have two words i'm waiting for the perfect chance to use—cernuous (adj. meaning inclining or nodding, as in a plant drooping) and diapason (noun meaning a burst of sound, or the entire range of musical notes).
word count of the last writing piece you worked on: 2,142! all of which i wrote yesterday in an absolute fever of multi-doctorrose feelings. (i can post some snippets if people are interested/want to harass me to finish it, lmao.)
current obsession: basically every fifth and sixth doctor audio, the lovely sweater i'm working on, my purple bean sprouts that are just coming up (the seeds came from france!), and the new iamamiwhoami single.
tagging: @sunnibits, @saecookie, @inkwardspots, @tuu-likki, @rosemarion, and anyone else who might want to!

Friday, September 22nd, 2023: Integrity and Style
It's one of those deceptively hot rainy days. I threw on a teal fuzzy sweater, black leather pants, and my black, heeled timberlands, black beanie, and black leather backpack and walked to Palmy's. Other people seemed to have the same idea and I am now sitting with a sprinkle of rain on my computer and a sprinkle of sweat misting my stomach.
I was trying to romanticize my life and ended up uncomfortably answering emails in a very cute outfit. Still, while I most definitely am going to end up ubering home (update, I did walk home out of sheer spite that the lyft cost $8), it's good to get outside and enjoy public life outside of my runs. There's a winding tree in front of my table outside with a chain of old bells running down the front, rusted by the sea breeze. Light bulbs on string wrap around the crooked branches. This place would look beautiful at night. Inside there's a poster for hibachi nights Tuesday through Sundays, maybe I can drag someone to go with me.
Speaking of which I just got an email from the PB half-marathon and 5 K. My packet arrives next Thursday, the 28th and I am stoked! Also nervous. It depends if the butterflies in my stomach are actually just fat-ass caterpillars that refuse to race. I plan to run an actual 5 K tomorrow or Sunday. The point isn't to be fast, the point is to finish.
Which I can do.
Credit card paid. Emails emailed.
Lately, due to increased book reading and lack of alcohol consumption, I've been writing more and more little scenes in my head. Some are for stand up and some are for THE BOOK that continues to roll around in my head and some are just kind of moody. I'm transferring them to my computer from the truly hideous handwriting in my notebook.
There's probably an 80% chance I'm a terrible fucking writer, but I mean, damn, I do know how to make myself laugh. That's a skillset.
Another funny/meta thing as this journal ages past a year is that I know what I did/thought exactly a year ago:
"There’s such an aimlessness that promotes drinking and fucking up. This subtle but anxiety-inducing restlessness collects like stray crumbs into the nooks and crannies of your mind. That’s where the bullshit behavior, the habits you developed to distract and soothe, really kick in. 
Maybe I don't want to be distracted anymore. Maybe I like it when the woman on the street compliments my outfit as “amazing for a Thursday”. Maybe I want to be amazing and stop waiting for a special fucking day to put on my best. I don’t need to clean my room on a “who-is-coming-over-for-sex” basis."
This is an example of a lesson I remind myself of a lot. Today is the special occasion. Don't wait to burn nice candles or wear a fabulous outfit. Look good regardless of who can see you. Dress up and clean your room for yourself. You deserve it. It starts as self-esteem and develops into integrity- who you are when no one's watching.
Your habits end up being less performative even if you're technically more adorned. Romanticizing your own life is wearing a suit during the apocalypse. Cinematic. Ridiculous. Symbolic. A signal that you care about yourself and have a firm idea of who you are.
Today at Palmy's there was a Black girl with long shiny braids in a lavender hoodie in white writing that said "Got Privilege?". Immediately I felt like I knew her a little. She has experiences and a perspective, a sense of humor and a boldness.
Clothing and style will always be important to me.
When I got home, I peeled off the sweater and pants I thought went with the weather. Literally peeeeled in the case of the leather pants, I do not think they would have come back on with the sweat and my recent muscle gain. Then I dressed in a multi-colored striped yarn dress. I'm way more fucking comfortable and it matches my mood.
