#rule number one of riverdale: there are no good parents
Text
fred andrews really watched his son get convicted for murder, get sent to juvie/prison, escape, then run away after being exhonerated, and when mr andrews finally finds him, instead of being like "hey archie let's get you home get you some therapy and work on that martyr complex of yours", decides to drive his teenage son to the canadian border and say "damn it sure would be nice if we could live in the wilderness together, to bad we can't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" even though there's literally no reason he can't go with him and gives archie their dog before DRIVING AWAY AND ACTING AS THOUGH HE NEVER SAW HIS SON.

Summary: Kurtz/Reader Request: A Kurtz/Reader, Let’s go with Kurtz being a semi-normal high schooler in this
Betty Cooper introduces herself as Riverdale Highs unofficial welcoming committee, Veronica Lodge by her side assuring you she knows what it’s like to be new to this town. You smile at both of them, letting them lead you around the school. “You were in Centerville before this right?” “Yes, but I grew up on the Southside, my parent’s moved after Jason got shot, I didn’t know Southside High was shut down, that was a shock.” You laugh a little as Betty points out your classrooms. “Well we usually eat lunch in the student lounge since it’s a bit cold out, you’re welcome to join us. We have quiet a few more friends for you to meet.” Betty beams and you nod.
You’re nervously eyeing the Serpents and Veronica pats your shoulder. “They’re harmless, nothing to worry about.” You nod, both to the Serpents and to Veronica; pulling out part of your lunch, about to eat it before you look up and watch the doorway. “Kurtz?” You sit up slightly and he turns, face shocked before he smiles walking over to you as you stand up. “Hey Y/N. What are you doing here?” “You know each other?”
“Yes?” You watch as Jughead seems more shocked to see Kurtz talking to you. “We go way back, grew up together. You hear anything from dad?” He tilts his head at you and you shake yours. “No, he’s still up on that job.” Kurtz nods, shrugging slightly towards the group of Serpent’s “These are, acquaintances..” He hesitates as Jughead and the Serpent’s nod. “Wow you have friends?” He looks at the ground and you see two of the Serpent’s roll their eyes. “I’m Fangs.” You recognize the name, from the brief summary Veronica had given you of the drama that had been happening.
“I heard you tried to kill him. What happened?” “No it wasn’t like that we were-“ “What happened?” Kurtz swallows. “I dropped him from the second floor.” “Did you apologize, at the least?” “No I-“ You arch an eyebrow and he swallows cringing. “I’m sorry Fangs.” “That’s not a proper one.” You arch your eyebrow again and he scowls, sighing as he gets on his knees grabbing Fang’s shirt. “Please forgive me. I’m sorry for trying to kill you.” Fangs nods as Kurtz stands, his hand brushing against yours.
“Don’t you feel better now?” He snorts and you roll your eyes as he pulls you into a hug, face against your neck. “I missed you.” He sighs against you nodding, and you look expectantly at him. “Well who’re these Serpent’s you’ve cozied up with; I can’t just name them based on how they look like you used to with all of dad’s friends.” You smirk as they narrow their eyes at Kurtz. “Ooh look it’s neck boy; you’re right he is tall enough to climb like a tree.” “Sweet Pea.” He holds his hand out and you smile. “Y/N, pleasure.” You name each of the serpents, they seem to take their nicknames in stride and welcome you into their group as Kurtz had been.
“Y/N Walters.” You raise your hand, you can tell someone is watching you but you ignore it. “They’re siblings, I swear. I think Y/N got taken when their parents divorced or something, like one went with their mom and the other with their dad.” Betty hisses as you walk by. You try your best to keep a straight face, but you text Kurtz to let him know what his friends seem to think. He meets you outside, letting you climb on the back of his bike. He mumbles how Jughead had been grilling him about his family, his past, he’s relieved to know Betty’s suspicions the source of the questioning.
“Oh like you would have gotten in trouble for anything else.” You know you’re far enough from the school when he kisses you on the cheek. “Do you want to tell them?” You laugh shaking your head. “I wanna see how long it takes them to figure out. Here, necklaces will be harder to spot.” “Don’t you think that’s unfair to them?” He asks as he slides his ring off his finger, looping it around the chain on his neck as you do the same. “If they’re smart enough to solve a murder I think they can figure out we’re not related.”
You’ve been roped into joining the River Vixen’s you’re a little surprised but you settle into the routine fairly easily. You like the exercise well enough and it gives you an out to the regular gym classes. Kurtz however seems extremely bothered. “What?” You ask, finally snapping as he glares at the folded uniform in your hands. “Cheerleading is stupid.” He shrugs and you shake your head. “Come one, what is it.” “It’s distracting.” You scoff at his excuse. “Distracting from what? Are you secretly he star football player? Or covering the games for the blue and gold? What could you possibly be distracted from? Being a good Christian kid?” You snicker as Kurtz wraps his arms around you pulling you against his chest.
“You’re the one who didn’t want to be public about our relationship.” “Kurtz that was when we were in middle school and half of the class still thought girls had cooties!” He laughs nodding. “So?” “So? Be as public as you want. Just no indecency.” “But indecency is the most fun.”
“I’m not getting kicked out of Riverdale High cause you want to see what’s under my cheer skirt.” You roll your eyes when he pouts. He nudges the skirt and you shake your head. “It’s not even that big a deal, you wouldn’t get kicked out for hiking it up slightly too high or anything.” He‘s half serious and you shake your head, knowing he’s joking; the bell rings and as he turns to go to his next class you brush by him, smirking. “Besides, you just assumed I’d wear anything under it anyways.” You can hear him choke at the end of the hallway when he realizes what you meant.
You’re not trying to hide it but still the panic that shoots through you when you hear some clear their throat is unavoidable. You know you weren’t being discreet, curled on Kurtz lap in the student lounge kissing him was about as public as you could get besides going at in the middle of class. You shiver slightly watching as Jughead glares at the two of you. Kurtz nudges you behind him and you peer from around his shoulder, his arm snaking around your waist. “What Jones?” “You two are related.” He states nodding and you can see the rest of the Serpents and his other friends gathering around. You roll your eyes. “We really taking advice from Mr. I’m dating my half sister?” Jughead narrows his eyes.
“You two are siblings, brother and sister, you have the same last name and I can’t count the number of times we’ve heard you both refer to your dad.” You bite down a laugh as he rants. “Do you want to tell him or should I?” “Tell me what?” “When I say dad, I mean my father in law.”
“We’re not siblings, we’re married.” You chime in and everyone stares, turning to Kurtz. “You’re married!??!” “Yes? Why do you guys think I never dated anyone..” “How did you even-“ “You go down to the court and sign the certificate? We both had parental permission and the judge agreed, it’s totally legal.” “Why though?!?!” “I love her? I’d like to spend the rest of my life with her” He shrugs at them and you loop your arm in his. “Why is that so surprising?” He asks and Jughead shrugs. Sweet Pea speaks up. “Just never thought you’d find someone so well normal.” “Should I be offended?” You ask and Kurtz shakes his head. “I wasn’t exactly;” He waves his hands and you frown. “He was acting psycho, completely believing into the whole Gryphons and Gargoyle’s nonsense.” “That game we used to play? Aww did you miss me that much? You never let me be game master I remember I got so mad I tried to burn the rule book.” “Who’d you play then?” Jughead asks out of curiosity. “The Red Paladin.” You smile back confused when they all look horrified. “What am I missing then?” You turn to Kurtz who shakes his head. “There was a Quest, to kill the red paladin.”

Love is a Smoke Made with the Fume of Sighs
Tumblr media
Summary: Everyone knows that Riverdale and Eldervair are rival kingdoms. What happens when the two heirs to the throne meet up and kiss without knowing who each other are?
A/N: So i said i was done fic writing but then SARAH @theheavycrown had to go and make THIS POST that gave me so much inspo and i blame her for this. Also i was gonna write this in old english but then i was like... nah. So i’m not sure what year this takes place in so don’t ask me (also that isn’t my gif)
 Forsythe Pendleton Jones the third. A name that everyone knew. In the kingdom of Riverdale and in the kingdom of Eldervair. Though, to his close friends and family, he was known as “Jughead.” The same way that Elizabeth Cooper was known as “Betty.” Two heirs to rival thrones that had more in common than they thought, starting with their nicknames.
Sadly, as much as these two had in common, neither of them had met or even seen what the other had looked like. For all Jughead knew, Princess Elizabeth could have been Princess Cheryl’s twin sister and would never know. He didn’t count on meeting her any time soon, or even bothering to want to know what she would look like. That is, until both of these families were invited to a coronation.
“Do we have to go?” Princess Jellybean frowned as her mother tied the back of her long purple dress.
“Yes, J.B., the Blossom family has been an ally to us since our kingdoms merged together. It’s important that we make an appearance at Cheryl’s crowning,” Jughead’s dad explained as he straightened out Jughead’s tie.
You see, the Blossom family had been ruling for quite some time. The red head family was with their own kingdom alone but had aligned with both the Cooper and the Jones families on different occasions. Clifford Blossom had been king for many years, that is until one morning they had discovered his son, Jason, was missing from his chambers. There was a hunt for the next heir for quite some time until he was found in the basement with a bullet in his head. It didn’t take long for the kingdom to find out that the king was behind his own sons murder, resulting in his wife, Penelope, to strike him over the head. With both boys in the family now dead, the throne would have gone to Penelope but since she had killed her own husband to gain justice for her son, she was exiled from the kingdom and was never seen again. So the crown would be handed off to Cheryl.
Jughead inaudibly groaned at the thought of leaving his bedroom to go to a castle he didn’t recognize when he could easily just stay at home and write while wearing his beanie, an article of clothing his parents despised. But his whole family was forcing him to go out, considering he would be king here after and needed to make alliances now.
“How long is this going to take?” he asked.
“Not long,” FP said as he stepped back to admire the tie his son was wearing, making sure it was smooth and tied correctly. “You’ll survive.”
“Come on, Jughead. If I have to go then you have to go too,” Jellybean said as she slipped on her shoes. “And who knows, maybe you’ll meet a pretty girl there.”
Jughead rolled his eyes. “Yeah. Maybe”
After the carriage had stopped, Jellybean wasted no time dashing out and into the castle. She wanted a first look at the knight, Archibald Andrews. She had gone on and on about him to Jughead the entire ride there and Jughead was sick of it. He couldn’t be that good looking.
“Jellybean!” he yelled after his sister, almost tripping out of the carriage as he chased after her. But it was no use. By the time he had reached the front gates and into the large room, his sister was lost among a sea of strangers. He groaned to himself, yet again, knowing he was the one that had to go find her.
He pushed past the entire crowd looking for his little sister and saw many faces. Some he knew, some he had never seen before. He was feeling intensely confined in his own skin as he examined the entire room. Eventually, his eyes landed on a familiar raven haired princess, Veronica. She was in a back room hidden from the rest of the world and he could only see her through the crack of the door. He knew Veronica and Archie had been... cozy, to say the least. Jughead assumed that she would know of Archie’s whereabouts and wherever Archie was, Jellybean would be too.
He maneuvered through the army of strangers to the door where the dark haired girl was standing. She was on the outside of a circle of people playing a game. Boys and girls of all different ages were standing in a circle holding an empty bottle of wine while a girl stood in the middle of the circle. Jughead thought to himself what this game might be but he shrugged off the thought and moved through the circle to make his way to Veronica.
However, his journey was cut short.
He stopped moving when everyone began to howl. He looked down and noticed that the bottle was now on the floor and pointing toward him. Another boy from this group then shoved the girl with her eyes covered into Jughead’s arms. He flinched a bit and attempted to step back but found himself frozen in place. Apparently, walking through the circle was not the way to go since this is not how he wanted to end up.
“Pardon me, miss, I’m just a stranger and I don’t think I am playing,” Jughead explained.
“Well, my brave stranger, have a kiss,” the blonde girl stated with a smile. Jughead felt the color drain from his face before she went on her tip toes and planted a soft and delicate kiss on his lower lip. He could feel the ghost of her lips still there even after she pulled away. She moved down back to her feet and their eyes met. She blinked a few times and met his eyes. The world seemed to stop in that moment. They say when you meet the love of your life, time will stop. Jughead never believed in cliches until the music around them began to fade from into the darkness and he found himself drowning in this girls eyes and the soft palm of her hands that still rested on the side of his face. Neither of them were moving.
“I have to go,” he said quickly as he slipped out of her soft hands and through the crowd of people. She stared at him as he left, wondering who the stranger she had just kissed was.
He didn’t look for Jellybean. He found a small hallway and was able to lock himself in it as he began to process what had just happened.
A kiss.
It was just a kiss.
A kiss from the prettiest girl he had ever seen.
A kiss from a girl who was willing to be intimate with him before she knew his name.
The ghost of her lips lingered on his before he lifted his hand to reach up and touch them, as if to relive that moment. He could feel his face becoming hot and the room get smaller as he felt he was growing bigger. His heart was pounding in his chest and he didn’t know how to react to this new emotion. Fortunately, his thoughts were interrupted soon after.
“Jughead?” a voice called. Jughead snapped back into reality and looked up to see his tall friend standing in the doorway.
“Sweet Pea,” was all he could breathe out.
“Where have you been? You missed the Cheryl being crowned queen,” Sweet Pea explained. Had it really been that long? Had Jughead really been alone with his thoughts for long enough to have the seasons change?
“Does that mean we’re leaving?” Jughead asked. Part of him was hopeful, he wanted to get home and focus on his writing so he could focus on more important things, like becoming king. The other part of him was filled with sorrow if he left, knowing this would probably be the last time he saw the girl that had kissed him.
“No,” Sweet Pea explained and Jughead let out a breath of relief. “There’s a feast gathering right now. Are you hungry?”
Jughead stared at him blankly. “Always.”
Jughead stayed close to Sweet Pea, it was the only way that he would be grounded and back into reality and not float off in his mind once more.
Inside the dining hall there was a long table that people were seating themselves at. Jughead followed his taller friend to a spot at the end with their mutual friend Fangs. Eventually, Jughead’s family found them and they were reunited at the table.
They were all making small conversation- well actually, Sweet Pea and Fangs were talking while Jughead eavesdropped- when the doors on top of the stairs opened again. His gaze immediately turned to the door and saw Veronica Lodge walking down the steps with a blonde in a pink dress. The same blonde that had kissed him.
Jughead let his gaze stare at her for just a moment too long before the girl stopped and looked from Veronica to Jughead. Their eyes met for the second time that night and this time, Jughead didn’t pull away.
That is, until he was interrupted.
“What are you doing?” a voice asked him.
“Huh?” Jughead asked as he turned his head to see Fangs and Sweet Pea staring at him with wide eyes.
“What are you doing?” Fangs repeated.
“Nothing, just-” he paused a bit to look back at the stairs to find the blonde was now at the table and finding her seat, next to Queen Cheryl. “Just looking.”
“Stop it,” Sweet Pea said with a stern voice. It was normal for Sweet Pea to be angry at times but this time it was different. There was a serious tone in his voice that felt bitter on Jughead’s ears.
“What? Why?” he asked, his nose scrunching up in confusion.
“You were looking in the princess’s direction,” Sweet Pea said.
“I don’t get it,” Jughead frowned. “Why can’t I look at someone? Do you have dibs on this girl or something?”
“No,” Sweet Pea snapped and Jughead did a double take at his firm tone.
“Then what is it?” he asked again. Fangs, sitting next to them both, sighed.
“You were looking at Princess Elizabeth,” Fangs explains.
“Princess Elizabeth? You mean as in the Cooper family?” Jughead asked.
“No, he means as in Eldervair’s number one enemy,” Sweet Pea growled.
Jughead couldn’t believe it. Had he really just kissed the only girl he was forbidden from ever loving, let alone kissing?
A/N: DUN DUN DUUNNN we all saw that coming. What did you guys think? If you like it I’ll make it a multi chapter fic! Also this chapter quite literally is the epitome of ‘it started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?’

Wrong Turn
Requested: @cokecola4211 : Riverdale imagine being from the Northside and from an uptight family that hates the southside and stuff way of life strict upbringing and the only time she can let loose is when she party's at the Wyrm in secret and dresses in black unless she gets home on time before curfew and stuff like that and she has a major crush on Fangs who she walks home w/ every night.
A/N: I am so sorry I have been gone I will hopefully be back completely now but I do go on vacation next week so we will see. I hope you guys like this story I absolutely love it. Thanks to my beta @wayward-river
Warnings: None that I can think of. Cursing?
Word Count: About 2688
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your parents kept the southside hidden your entire life, only ever going through town on the Northside and never once crossing the line. The Northside was all you ever knew, well at least for a while until the day you went for a run around the whole town. That was the day you met your best friends.
That one day you did was the day you met some of your best friends in the entire world. You were never one to hang out with many of the Northsiders you only really ever got along with Jughead who you soon learned was actually from the Southside. From the beginning, you connected with everyone so much more than anyone you have ever met. The Southside was like a second home for you maybe even the home that meant the most.
*Flashback*
Your morning run was the one thing that could keep your mind off of everything, you decided to take a different route than you were used to. When you started running your dad would always go with you, following behind keeping an eye out. You remembered back to the time that he told you not to make a turn because it leads to Sweetwater river which was dangerous. You followed his rule every morning never making that turn even when he didn’t go with you, but something was different this time you wanted an adventure, so you took the turn.
You never saw water wherever you were, your dad must’ve lied it looked like you were in a town much like the Northside, just less prissy. You continued your run looking around at where you were taking in the new sights you were seeing. Until a guy stopped you. You were deep into what you soon learned was the Southside.
“What are you doing running around here alone”
“I uh I just took a wrong turn thought Sweetwater river was down here”
“No, Sweetwater is up around the other edge of the Northside”
“I’m sorry my dad must’ve gotten it wrong”
“What do you mean”
“He told me never to take the turn and run down here. He told me that Sweetwater was dangerous, but I wanted an adventure so I took the turn. I didn’t expect a whole other town.”
“Wait you’ve never seen this side of town”
“What do you mean this side?”
“You're from Riverdale right?”
“Yeah”
“This is the Southside”
“What’s the Southside?”
“Well you’ve probably heard your side of town being called the Northside, well this is the Southside”
“Why would my dad lie?” “Eh, Northsiders tend to hate us. They don’t understand us”
“Oh well I’m sorry for intruding”
“It’s not a problem”
“Then why did you stop me?”
“Well most people wouldn’t run around the Southside with headphones in and no protection”
“Protection?”
“Yeah… you know what nevermind”
“No, tell me I have nothing better to do”
“Alright well why don’t you come to the Whyte Wyrm with me”
“The Whyte Wyrm?”
“It’s a bar”
“You want me to go to a bar I’m not even…” “What? Old enough? Don’t worry about it no one is”
“But my parents”
“Tell them you're at a study group or you took a trip to Greendale or something”
“Alright”
“Really?” “Yeah why not”
“You trust me just like that”
“Eh you seem cool plus if you wanted to kill me you would’ve taken me down the alley right there… so unless that’s your plan I’d say I'm pretty safe”
“Touche”
“Wait…”
“You alright Princess?”
“First of all, I am not a Princess. Second I just wanna know what your name is?”
“Oh it’s Fogarty but you can call me Fangs”
“Wow and just when I thought you weren’t cringy…”
“Hey… if we play our cards right we could be endgame”
“Oh my god let’s go Fangs” You started walking away realizing that you didn’t know where you were going before he forcefully pulled you back. “Hey! What was that for!”
“Uh, it was nothing just uh… you're going the wrong way is all”
“Oh well, then you lead the way” It was the end of the afternoon at this point. You talked as you slowly made your way to the Whyte Wyrm. You eventually walked up to a building with a bunch of bikes parked outside, and guys wearing black with beards and leather jackets. You felt out of place… at least your outfit was a black sweatshirt and leggings though.
You spent a few hours at the Wyrm losing track of time during the whole thing. You talked to Fangs, and he stayed with you through it all. He even introduced you to his friends Toni and Sweet Pea. You looked at your phone hearing it ring a few times. You saw 10 missed calls from your mother and father so you stepped outside. You called them back and as soon as they picked up the yelling ensued. You apologized saying you fell asleep after watching the movie after you finished studying and lost track of the time, and you promised to be home soon. You didn’t want to leave Fangs or his friends. You got along with them so well and you hadn’t had that for a while. But you knew you had to leave, it was too good to be true. Fangs came out as you were about to start walking home.
“Hey… wait!”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m sorry Fangs, I need to go home”
“Let me walk you”
“I can’t what if I get caught”
“Say I was from the study group… at least let me walk you to the end of your street, please. I can’t let you walk home alone”
“Okay”
“Wait…”
“What Fangs I gotta go”
“Your name…  you never told me”
“It’s Y/N”
“Eh I think I’ll stick with princess”
“I’m not a princess Fogarty”
“Whatever you say, Princess”
“You are impossible… now let’s go I gotta get home”
“Alright”
*End Flashback*
It had been three weeks since that first day that you met Fangs Fogarty, and your life had changed so much. You finally felt like you had friends who actually cared about your friends you could hang out with a feel normal. The Southside became your home. You knew the people there… you held conversations walked with them places. You were as much a part of the Southside as they were a part of you. At first, it was hard you felt like you didn’t belong. Hell, you didn’t think you would be invited that night a few days later but Fangs had surprised you. You learned he watched all day from afar till your parents left just so he could invite you to go dancing and hang out at the Wyrm. Of course, you said yes. Now a few days a week you would hang out with Fangs, Toni, and Sweet Pea whether it be at the Wyrm or the quarry it didn’t matter. Every Friday the Wyrm is where you were dancing in your tight black outfit and heeled boots. You remember that first night you went dancing like it was yesterday… because that is when it all started.
*Flashback*
A knock on your bedroom window scared the shit out of you making you stop the dancing you had been doing. You looked over to see Fangs knocking. You ran over opening it and letting him climb in.
“Fangs what the fuck!”
“Well hi to you too”
“You scared the living shit out of me Fogarty!” You smacked him on the arm before crossing your arms over your chest.
“Stop, Y/N…” “Why are you here”
“What not happy to see me?”
“Really…”
“Look I just… I wanted to talk to you again I tried asking around seeing if anyone had your number cause ya know I didn’t wanna be a weirdo and come here but of course no one knew you, and Jughead didn’t have your number so I just decided to come here”
“Okay but that doesn’t explain to me why you’re here”
“Well everyone wants to hang again I just wanted to see if you wanted to come dancing at the Wyrm tonight. Friday the Wyrm turns more into a club then a bar figured maybe you'd like to join”
“I don’t dance”
“Really because I saw you dancing in here about 5 minutes ago and I’d say you can dance Princess”
“You… you saw that”
“I did which means you can dance, and you are coming with me tonight”
“Oh am I”
“Please”
“Fine Fogarty I’ll come. Wait downstairs while I get dressed”
“Okay” You went into your closet grabbing out the things you never god to wear. Being from the Northside it was constant color. You never wanted to be the weird girl so you wore as much color as you could stand, but at the Wyrm you knew you could be yourself. So you chose to throw on an old large ripped Metallica t-shirt and some maroon thigh high boots. You walked downstairs and looked for Fangs seeing the back door open in your kitchen. You walked through and saw Fangs standing looking out and watching a bird in a tree.
“Hey, you ready Fogarty?”
“Yeah I’m... “ He turned around slowly pausing in the middle of his sentence just staring at you.
“You alright”
“Yeah, yeah I’m good sorry uh I’m ready yeah follow me” “To where aren't we walking we can just go out the gate”
“Not this time” You followed Fangs out the front door of your house locking it up behind you. You watched Fangs walk down to a bike.
“Your kidding”
“Nope”
“Great well I’m gonna die tonight”
“Princess you aren't gonna die”
“Fangs! Again with the Princess shit”
“What! You can’t yell at me when you literally look like a fucking princess tonight”
“Get on the fucking bike Fogarty… now, before I change my mind alright”  He quickly mounted the bike and you followed swiftly behind. He turned the bike on the engine revving.
“Hold on tight Y/N” You did as you were told no complaints coming from you. You realized how nice it was holding onto Fangs, how much you enjoyed it
*End Flashback*
Your phone buzzed as you finished getting dressed for the Wyrm.
I’m here get your ass out here. I don’t got time to wait, Princess, let’s go we’re already late
You walked outside to see Fangs sitting on his bike waiting for you.
“You’re late not me Fangs”
“Okay I was just trying to get you out of the house faster, also all this doesn’t get done very quickly” he motioned to himself.
“You are so cringy, Fogarty”
“You know it…. Now get your ass on this bike”
“I’m coming, calm your ass down” You slowly made your way to the Wyrm the night already started considering you guys were a few hours later than usual. You walked in the music already blaring and Toni handing a drink to you. After a few drinks and talking with everyone you started feeling a buzz. You wanted to dance so you went to the floor when Fangs went to the bathroom. The music taking over your head as you danced. Fangs slowly joined you grabbing you from around the back. You often danced together but you were both slightly tipsy on a night you wouldn’t usually drink. You both got closer and closer as each song came. You hadn’t realized your foreheads were pressed together until you opened your eyes and stared straight back into Fangs’. The feelings hit hard. You didn’t wanna be without him after that first night. You liked Fangs, and you liked him more every second you were with him. You tried for weeks to push them away but nothing was working. You liked him and the off chance of him not liking you back killed you. You knew he cared about you as a friend, but you knew that was most likely the only way he did. So you ripped away from him running out of the Wyrm for air. You had to get home.
You didn’t care that he was the one to always walk you, all you cared about was getting away from the Wyrm and the feelings that crowded your mind and your heart. You started your walk home and soon heard steps and screams from behind you.
“I thought we were over you just leaving after that first night”
“I just… I had to go. I need to get home”
“Again with this… So you were just gonna leave, not say goodbye”
“I’m sorry Fangs. I didn’t wanna say goodbye”
“You didn’t have to you know I like walking you home”
“I can’t Fangs I’m sorry to get your bike or go back to the party I am going home I don’t need you to walk me”
“What is going on with you. I am not leaving”
“Why can’t you just let me fucking walk home on my own I am not a fucking damsel in distress, that is gonna get captured and need saving or some shit!”
“ I fucking know that Y/N. But I care about you too much to just let you leave. I fucking love you and if I wasn’t there and something happened to you that I could’ve prevented I couldn’t live with myself. That is why I walk you home. I walk you home cause I fucking care okay!”
“Wait… You said…”
“That I care, yeah cause I do”
“No, you said you loved me”
“I… I, uh I’m sorry just call me when you get home” He started walking away but you had to know if it was true.
“Fogarty wait”
“Is it… are you… do you… I mean, do you love me… nevermind there's no way” He turned around and ran towards you his hands cupping your face and before you realized his lips were connected with your own the heat running through his hands and through your body. The warmth you felt every time he would hold your hand, or when you wrap your arms around his body while on the bike. Everything with him felt warm… this was your warmth, he was your warmth. He pulled away slowly his forehead laying flat against your own.
“Do you believe me now?”
“Eh kind of” He kissed you again his lips passionately almost harshly pressing against your own.
“Can I walk you home now?”
“Of course” You walked to your house hand in hand. It felt right with him. Everything was always right with him and you knew that. Not before long you are stood in front of your front gate. He looked at you and you looked up into his eyes his hand coming and resting on your cheek before he pulled you in while landing a chaste kiss to your lips.
“So maybe we really are endgame Fogarty”
“We definitely are Princess and you know it”
After a quick passionate kiss on your lips, he looked into your eyes and told you he would pick you up tomorrow for your first date. You were stoked. Fangs was the one person you could be your complete self around. You are so grateful you felt adventurous and kept running that one day cause if you didn’t you never would’ve met him.

New Yandere, Whump, and Dark Shipping Blog: Requests FAQ
Hey! So before I start writing and creating, I thought I'd get some common questions answered and out of the way! If you are concerned about your request or are unsure of its content, please first check this post before directly messaging me.
Request Content
Q: What kinds of requests do you fill?
A: I will fill almost any type of request! But here are some specific options with set structures and examples.
Headcanon Requests (bulleted, length depending on ask, ex: "Can I get headcanons for Requested Character with a short girlfriend?")
Scenario Requests (bulleted, LDOA, ex: "Can I get a scenario for if Requested Ship were getting married?")
Drabble Requests (prose, LDOA, ex: "Can I request a drabble about RC being worried when their darling is sick?")
Playlist Requests (list of songs, 1-5 song limit, ex: "Do you have 4 songs for a jealous RC?")
Graphic Requests (edit style, 1-4 images, ex: "Could you make a graphic for yandere RC with this item or quote?")
Aesthetic Requests (moodboard style, image with 6-9 sections, ex: "Can I get an aesthetic for dark!RS?")
Prompt Requests (list of brainstormed dialogue and short sentences, LDOA, ex: "Do you have dialogue prompts for RC kidnapping their darling?")
Plot Bunny Requests (short prose paragraphs or bulleted, LDOA, ex: "I want to write about yandere RC surprising their darling but don't know how or why. Are there are any plot bunnies you can give me?").
New! RP Idea Requests (selection of 1-4 short rp-style bios/plots/starters, LDOA, ex: "Do you have any yandere rp ideas for Requested Fandom ocs?")
New! Fancast Requests (moodboard or edit style, 2-9 images per RC/RS, ex: "Who would you cast as yandere RC(s)?")
New! Faceclaim Recommendation Requests (bulleted list of names with short explanations or reasons, LDOA, ex: "My yandere OC is tall, has dark hair, and soft features. He acts friendly but is the violent type. Can I have a few fcs?")
Requests that don't specify will be answered with a bulleted list or possibly a short paragraph. There may be times I'm willing to fill some requests but not others due to time constraints, but that doesn't mean I won't ever fill them!
Fandom requests involving AUs and crossovers are welcome (ex: "Headcanons of how yandere Naruto in a wild west AU?" or "Headcanons about what would happen if yandere Ten and yandere Crowley fell for the same person?"), as are original requests based on existing media (ex: "Can I get headcanons about a popular girl type who has a Breakfast Club experience and ends up going yandere for the criminal?" or "Can you write a drabble about a yandere whose story is like this music video?").
Q: What characters do you write for?
A: I'll write for any character that I am familiar with, with a few exceptions for characters I'm aware of but uncomfortable with. To get started, here's a list of fandoms that I have a solid handle on!
Anime (Naruto, Ouran High School Host Club, Death Note, Hetalia, etc.)
Western Animation (Archer, Castlevania, She-Ra: Princesses of Power, etc.)
DC and Marvel Comics
Star Wars (no New Trilogy - Originals, Prequels, Clone Wars, & Legends only)
Other Major Film Franchises (Pirates of the Caribbean, the MCU, James Bond, etc.)
Harry Potter and related properties
Percy Jackson and related properties
Hunger Games and related properties
Twilight and related properties
A Song of Ice and Fire (willing to try TV canon but much more familiar with Book canon)
Crime Dramas (Barry, Good Girls, Hannibal, Mr. Robot, Revenge, etc.)
Historical Drama (Vikings, The Tudors, Les Miserables, The Borgias, Downton Abbey, Peaky Blinders, Taboo, etc.)
Science Fiction and Fantasy TV/Lit (Star Trek TOS/AOS; Doctor Who, New Who only; Merlin; Good Omens; Lucifer; Galavant, etc.)
Horror-Thriller TV/Lit (American Horror Story, The Haunting of Hill House, Hemlock Grove, Alias Grace, etc.)
Sitcoms (familiar with Friends, all the Michael Schur products, Community, That 70s Show, Jane the Virgin, Schitt's Creek, Superstore, IASIP, and others)
Teen Dramas (Teen Wolf, Pretty Little Liars, Freaks and Geeks, Glee, etc., but no Riverdale)
Chinese and Korean Dramas (A Korean Odyssey/Hwayugi, Meteor Gardens, A Love So Beautiful, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, Romance Is a Bonus Book, My First First Love, Black, etc.)
Video Games (Assasain's Creed, Portal 2, Fire Emblem, AFK Arena, Professor Layton, etc.)
Something that's not here can still be requested - I'm familiar with a lot of media and do my best to keep up.
As I implied above, I am also happy to write for original characters. Whether that means you telling me about your own OCs, or me creating my own characters for you down the line, either is great.
I will NOT be writing RPF or RPS. I do not approve of real person shipping and real person fiction makes me uncomfortable - if that's what you're looking for, there are a huge number of other blogs that will cater to your needs directly. Which leads me into...
Prohibited Requests, and Non-Yandere Content
Q: Will you fill every request you get?
A: I'll fill requests that interest me and that I feel comfortable posting, and that will probably be most of them! I am really excited to get started. But I still reserve the right to refuse a prompt - I'm writing for free, so no one is entitled to have their ask filled. If I choose to deny your prompt, I will answer privately and, if the issue is with content, update the blog so it's made clear that the type of prompt is not taken.
Q: What is and isn't allowed to be requested?
A: To be honest, most stuff is allowed and some stuff isn't. There's a lot of ground to cover here, so I've divided it based on the nature of the concern.
Q: Do you accept NSFW/SFW requests?
A: I'll do NS and SFW work, but I've got more experience with SFW content. This doesn't mean I do it exclusively, just that I won't think to go NS unless you mention it. Specify for NS and it'll be included happily!
Q: Do you accept violent requests?
Violence against non-SO characters and dub-con is okay always, as is situational or over-the-top violence, even murder, involving SOs (ex: "the yandere and their darling are soldiers on opposite sides of the war" or "the yandere saws off their darling's legs so they have to carry them everywhere").
However, there is some tricky area with violent fantasies. If I think the content strays too close to serious physical domestic abuse, then I'll likely deny the request. This is partially why I prefer requests that get violent to focus on non-SO targets, so if it doesn't matter to you, that's almost guaranteed to get a response.
Non-con I can mention and discuss in headcanon posts and possibly prompt lists, but I will not be writing drabbles or scenarios for non-con prompts.
Q: Do you accept kink requests?
A: It will depend on the type and whether I feel morally and psychologically comfortable with it. For example, hypnosis, size kink, gender stuffing, BDSM, roleplay, etc., are all currently accepted because they don't seem to affect me in a negative way. I am willing to do ships for cousins and step family, as well. However, I will not under any circumstances deal with r*ceplay, p*dophilia, fetishizing of trans people or people of color, or inc*stplay, and I will not be doing ship work for anyone more closely related than cousins, including but not limited to siblings, parents (blood or adopted), or aunts and uncles. None of this is negotiable. I am willing to consider AUs where two characters aren't family, or non romantic yandere behavior between family, but even then, the request's on thin ice. Anything super unhygienic or illness related is probably something I won't be interested in not as a rule or for moral reasons but just because it can exacerbate my anxiety and OCD. I also do not fill prompts related to minors at all, be it explicit/adult/sexual content or otherwise. Requests for characters who are minors will have them aged up unless otherwise specified - in which case you will promptly be blocked.
Q: Can I request a dark imagine that is not yandere related?
A: Of course! Just make sure to be specific about what you want from it.
Q: Can I request a ship or character imagine that isn't yandere or dark?
A: Yes, though I won't promise it'll be what you're looking for. I fall towards horror, thriller, and angst when I write, regardless of my intentions.
Q: Can I request something that's not ship or character imagine related?
A: Sure, I'd be honored, but again, I don't promise to fulfill every request. This blog is intended to be stress relief, self indulgence.
How to Make a Request
Q: How do I contact you for requests?
A: Asks, messages, replies on my original posts, and even more casual things like tagging me in yandere or writing related posts are all great ways to interact with me!
Q: When do you accept requests?
A: Requests will be opened or closed depending on how busy I am and whether I'm caught up on them.
Currently, requests are closed. However, I've decided that requests are reopened on my days off. The days should be listed in my bio.
Q: Do you accept anonymous requests?
A: Yes, I do! I also will not publish asks from users unless the user specifically clarifies that they are okay with it, just in case the user sent the ask from their blog on accident. User asks that aren't specified as safe to publish will be responded to privately when the request is filled.
Q: How will I know my request is filled?
A: As stated above, anonymous asks and user asks clarified as safe to publish will be published with a response. User asks without any clarification will be responded to privately. Anonymous asks asking for privacy for any reason will not be published. Messages will also get a reply. Users who send requests that are kept private will not be tagged unless you ask me to. Users with published asks will always be tagged in the final post, but it is totally okay to ask me to change or erase the tag! Other than this, checking for posts is up to the requester.
Other Kinds of Interaction
Q: Is there anyone who you don't want interacting with your blog?
A: Anyone complicit in nazism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, xenophobia, pedophilia/MAPs, or any other politicized violence against a people is uneqivocally not welcome to engage with my work. I also have a zero tolerance policy for true crime fans who support or absolve serial killers. Please respect this - anyone who doesn't will be blocked. Anyone who pushes the issue will be reported.
Q: What about kink or otherkin blogs?
A: Honestly, I don't know much about either community. As of now, I'm fine with interaction. I'd ask that I not receive any kin related requests, because I am not familiar with the concept, community, and issues accompanying. Kinks can be requested but as stated above, are not guaranteed to be filled. Please don't bring discourse or discourse related requests here. I am not equipped to or interested in getting involved. If that changes, I have a main and other side blogs. This blog will never be a place for it.
Q: Are you okay if we interact with you or send you asks and messages that aren't requests?
A: Absolutely! I would love to talk with you. I am always interested in discussing any of the topics covered on this blog, or anything else for that matter! I pride myself on trying to be not just nice, but kind, and hopefully that comes through in every interaction. However, I'll expect the same courtesy from anyone who'd reach out to me, or use my posts to communicate to others for that matter. Anyone who doesn't will be, you guessed it, blocked. Anyone who pursues it further, yeah, will be reported.
Q: You have a lot of rules about requests and interaction, but you don't seem to post much and you aren't very active. Is this all just awkward and formal overkill, or is there a point?
A: I've explained all of this clearly, in as an accessible way as I can think of, because I want to eliminate the potential for drama, confusion, and other misunderstandings.
Online communities tend to be chock-full of plenty and I do not, nor does anyone who visits, need another reason to be tired. I'm not detailing all of this upfront because I expect to be very popular, or because I like listening to myself talk for paragraphs on end. I don't want a theoretical lack of information to be used to hurt either myself or others, though some of it shouldn't have to be spelled out in the first place.
But considering how ridiculously easy it is to misinterpret each other online, and how much of a disadvantage neuroatypical people like myself are when things are left just implicit rather than made what you could argue as exhaustingly explicit, I figured a crazy FAQ was a small price to pay for a peaceful environment.
TLDR: it certainly might be overkill, but that doesn't mean there is no point to it.
Q: What should requesters and followers call you anyways?
A: I'm fine with my username. If you're going for a different vibe, Red or Darlings sounds nice too. If you can come up with something catchier, feel free to try!
💀💀💀
On that note, I also may be slow going when it comes to requests. All I can do is promise to put a lot of thought into my replies, even though speed is not guaranteed. Any other questions can be asked directly, and I would be more than happy to answer them!

Hey guys, this is a little off topic for me but here goes:
So, hi Timblr. My name is Imogen but I go by Rosie or Midge, I’m 17 and I live in Australia. A bit of background on me, I live with my parents, my little sister and my two animals, Tabby who is a ginger tabby cat (creative, I know) and MeiMei who is an apricot (fancy word for ginger) toy poodle puppy. At age 6, I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder and anxiety, then at age 14 I got diagnosed with depression and panic attacks, and only this year have I finally gotten my diagnosis for Attention Defecit Disorder (ADD). In May last year, my parents decided to invest in my puppy, MeiMei, as a therapy animal for me because I don’t cope with being alone very well. MeiMei is 9 months old and still has a lot to learn but she is my most favourite thing in the world.
Now, I’m going to get to the real point of this. The organization known as PETA likes animals...or so they think. For a company with an 80% kill rate and a singular braincell between all of them, they claim to love animals. Redundant, I know. Now, I’ve been thinking about PETA’s little kill vans, that they drive around neighborhoods like mine (not mine specifically) looking for animals like Tabby and MeiMei. Tabby likes to spend her days outside, I live in one of the areas in my city where we don’t have a cat curfew or mandatory rules for keeping a cat indoors to protect the wildlife. Now, Tabs has bells on her collar, and she’s not as graceful as she likes to think she is, so she generally doesn’t catch anything. The occasional mouse, but she gets those things from the storm water drain that she frequents. MeiMei can’t come to school with me, even though she’s a therapy animal, she’s a little too young and not well enough trained (she’s only 9 months old and we’re training her ourselves), so she spends her days in our pretty large backyard doing whatever 9 month old puppies do for 7 hours a day while I’m getting my education. Picture of MeiMei below:
Tumblr media
Being a puppy, little Mei is by no means quiet and we are taking precautions to train her not to bark at everything, I still love her to death though. I know that in some places in the United States, PETA likes to go looking for animals like my puppy and my cat. They drive their little kill van into the street and pull out their comically oversized binoculars to look out for animals. Now, animals with collars are generally pets? Correct? Not in PETA’s mind. A few years ago there was a lawsuit filed against PETA after they wrongfully euthanised a young girls chihuahua, now I don’t know a lot about this story but I did some reading. This little dog, Maya, who was minding her own business out the front of her home was taken and put down without a single attempt to be returned to her family and her owner, who was a 9 year old girl. Generally, there’s a grace period between when you catch an animal registered as a pet and when you can legally put it down, now PETA didn’t wait for this grace period to end. They didn’t even go looking to see if Maya’s family might be missing her before they ‘mercy killed’ this poor little dog. Yes, a lawsuit was filed and, yes, the family won, but all this proves to me is that PETA, as an organization who say that they love animals, thinks that they are replaceable.
I have had Tabby for 7 years. We got her when both she and my little sister were about a year old. Tabby has a place in our family, she comes to the door and meows at us asking for pats and little bits of meat. At night, she sleeps on the bed next to my mum and doesn’t stop purring the entire time. This cat lives a happy existence knowing that she has a home to return to with food and water set out for her and somewhere warm to sleep with someone who loves her. In her own way, Tabby is my mums therapy animal because my mum has a hard time coping with stress and sometimes needs a little comfort from our animals. Tabby is not replaceable. If she was killed, there would not be another cat in the world, no matter how identical or how cute, that would fill the hole in my family’s heart. My big sister was the one to convince my mum to get us get Tabby. And, 7 years later, Tabby is family. The memories with her are irreplaceable. The sound of her purring and the softness of her fur after a shitty day is irreplaceable. You could give me all the money in the world to compensate for her being taken from my family but it wouldn’t fix the hole that would be left by her absence.
We’ve only had MeiMei for 7 months and I don’t know what I would do if I came home and she wasn’t there. I already get anxious when I can’t find her in our backyard, can you imagine how I would respond if I came home and she wasn’t there at all? Now, PETA and their little kill vans think they’re doing the right thing because they see animals being pets as another form of ‘involuntary bondage’ (The Guardian, 2017, though the statement was made in 2014). Do you think that my dog, my sweet, energetic little puppy would survive out in the wild? The answer is no, and the only thing that PETA could do to change that fact is go back thousands of years and stop dogs from evolving to protect and love the humans who feed them. We love our pets, they are as much a part of us as we are a part of them. Your animal may be a part of your life but to them, you are their life.
I wonder how many people PETA has deprived of their therapy animals because they think they’re justified in their murder. I wonder how many people will go home, even after reading this, to find that PETA has swept through their neighbourhood, combing for animals and has deprived them of their pet. As I keep saying, pets are not replaceable. Just like children are not replaceable. Just like any goddamn member of your family is not replaceable. ‘Oh look, grandpa’s dead, his life insurance means that we get $20,000, so I guess this means that we can go and get a new grandpa and make new memories’, it doesn’t work like that? Does it?
I’m not even going to begin my rant about PETA attacking wholesome Australian legend, Steve Irwin, because that’s a fight I’ll probably take to Twitter, but if you’re looking for someone to support who actually loves animals, look no further than the Irwin’s. Terri, Bindi and Robert have made it their mission to continue Steve’s legacy and, frankly, they know what conservation is. Animals are important to our way of life. Not just as sustenance for those who eat meat but also as pets and valuable sources of scientific advancement. The insulin that people with diabetes could be using in the future comes from pigs and cows and will be refined for human use. It’s not just the clothes you wear or the meat you choose to eat, it’s the animals you let into your home and love like a child. It’s the animals that you learn about on documentaries, it’s the animals that you fight for when their homes are being torn apart. PETA may think that their killing is justified but maybe, just maybe, they should sit down and watch a Steve Irwin video and see what someone who loves animals actually looks like. They could even watch any number of interviews with him or about him from his wife or children. My personal favourite is Terri’s interview with Aussie Comedian, Ahn Do, on ‘Ahn Do’s Brush With Fame’, you can find it on YouTube, I think (if you’re interested). Instead of supporting organizations like PETA who badmouth people who have actually done good things, support people like the Irwin Family and Australia Zoo, Nathalie Boltt (Penelope Blossom from Riverdale) who fights to stop the production of palm oil, Aidan Gallagher (Number 5 on the Umbrella Academy) who is a UN goodwill ambassador who fights for cleaner oceans (you want someone driven, he is so driven! He’s a vegan at 15!) or maybe even any number of the activists out there who are making a difference, some of them are as young as my little sister, nowadays.
You can make a difference too. This isn’t just about your pets, though you should hold them close and love them with all your heart, it’s about all animals. This is our earth. Our home. And we only get one. Organizations like PETA who claim that they love animals and claim that they’re helping, aren’t. The smallest difference you can make is in your own home. Adopt, don’t shop. Donate money to people who will actually help the environment and help protect animals. Don’t stand for PETA’s preachy bullshit because it’s their name in the media and not someone else’s. Fight back, rise up, this is our world and the animals have to live with the consequences of what we do to it.
Think about how many animals PETA has killed (mainly illegally) with their 80% kill rate. Think about how many children they have scarred by turning up to their birthday parties covered in fake blood and mostly naked screaming about how the children were muderers. Think about the people that they scarred in the Sydney CBD a few years ago by holding a barbecue and making it look like they were cooking a real dog. Are these the people you want to support? Shock tactics can work to get people motivated, but you’ve got to know if their reasoning is worth your time or not.
Fuck PETA.

introductions
so this was an OC that i had created awhile back, but never found the right footing for. maybe i’ll get back to it, who knows. either way, meet Kelley Karper: 
age 7: is a mess of blonde ringlets and freckles. blue eyes that don’t hide much. hands sticky from too much orange soda. spends mornings before school with grandma, crawls under the covers with her and asks to be told a story. listens with a toothless grin as she’s told all about a princess who saves her kingdom. reads quicker than all of the other kids in her class. cant ride a bike yet, dad sits her down and says that she can try again when she’s ready. balances on the washing machine as he dabs peroxide-soaked paper towels on her bloody knees. wipes her tears away with the backs of her chubby hands. mom makes her sing that song from annie at grandpa’s retirement party, brags to all of his coworkers how her child already knows all of her vowels. sticks a temporary tattoo on her arm so that she can match her dad. sits in his laps and traces the intricate design with her fingers, asks what it means and dad explains it. calls it his protector. she asks if she has one too. stays up late listening to the cars pass, listens as the 28 bus comes to a screeching halt outside. joins the brownies. gets mad when she’s selling cooking instead of learning how to tie knots. makes mom cry when she refuses to wear the pink easter dress, says something about how she knows kelley likes her father better. 
age 9: her hair’s darker now, freckles gone. thats what happens when the fog rolls in. the sun goes away. decides that her favorite color is orange. begs her parents to have her room be painted that color. the boys in her class make fun of her for her buck teeth. she kicks colin samuel in the shin but doesn't mean to break his finger. has to miss the class trip to the zoo. dad sits her down and tells her to be tough, to defend herself, pushes her to make friends and tells her not to worry because there’s always strength in numbers. he takes her to get ice cream anyways.  mom wishes she would take her ballet lessons more seriously. dad brings home tickets for the giants game the next week, with seats just above home plate. tells mom that she thinks she wants to play baseball instead. listens intently as her dad tells her stories from when he was her age. laughs loudly at the story about her dad getting his head stuck in between the railings of the staircase. is a strong reader but needs a little bit of help with math. spends every night after dinner for the next two weeks watching her mother teach her how to do long division. lies when asked if she understands. joins choir. gets the biggest solo in the fall program. cries when she sees that mom missed the recital. again. 
age 11: notices that she’s taller than all of the boys in her classes. cuts bangs by herself in front of the bathroom mirror with her mothers sewing scissors. gets yelled at all the way to the hair salon. hits her first home-run. dad carries her to the car on his shoulders, yelling about how his kid was the next babe ruth. she doesn’t know who that is, but she figures it’s a compliment.  meets her best friend, a new student named olivia. the two of them would walk towards the mission district and buy paletas with the money kelley got from grandma because she got straight a’s on her report card. doesn't understand why mom cant get out of bed in the morning. the dishes in the sink start to pile up, old food crusted with mold making the whole house smell sour. covers her ears when she hears mom and dad fighting. jumps when she hears glass shatter. steals her father’s walkman, finds a tape inside. led zeppelin III. learns that they were both of her parents favorite band. wonders if love was actually all that simple. takes the bus home from school for the first time, frozen with fear the first time a man probably twice her age catcalls her. gets her period on the class field trip. has to have somebody else’s mom explain it to her. helps olivia dye her hair purple when her parents weren't home. presses her ear to the wall and listens as her parents whisper-fight in the other room, arguing about money. doesn't know what her mother means when she asks her dad where his paycheck is. hears her ask him where he’s been spending all his time if he wasn’t at work.

So I basically live on Netflix like any typical university student. I spend a lot of time browsing through the endless catalogue that netflix offers and I completely understand how annoying it can be to spend so much time finding something to watch.  I compiled a list of some of my spring favourites of shows I’ve recently watched!  It’s sorted by genre to make it LOADS easier to find something depending on what you’re feeling. If you find something you like, check it out and spread the word! Let me know what you think of the show! I’d love to discuss your favourite characters and gush about it!
Marvel Shows 
Tumblr media
DAREDEVIL
“You were right... what you told me over the radio that night. Not everyone deserves a happy ending. ”
The “devil of hell’s kitchen” A.K.A Matthew Murdock steals the show as New York City’s very own blind vigilante (who also has a job as a defense attorney). It will literally leave you on the edge of your seat. There are two seasons, two villains that Daredevil goes up against while fighting a bigger underlying villain in New York City.  There is SO much action, there’s romance, it’s electric and everything you would want in a TV show. 
Plot: ✰✰✰✰
Action: ✰✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character: Elektra Natchois, Matthew Murdock
Overall: ✰✰✰✰✰
Tumblr media
LUKE CAGE
“You know why everyone wants to be the king? Cause of the crown.”
Meet Luke Cage, a bullet-proof black man in NYC. Loyal to Harlem, Luke decides to start using his abilities to start cracking down on the unusual crimes in the area. 
This show has amazing dynamics, all of the characters work hand in hand with each other and the bonus is that you get to meet some other important characters such as Claire Temple, Misty Knight and Jessica Jones. The story line is moving, the action is incredible and i loved how unapologetically black it was. 
Plot: ✰✰✰✰ 
Action: ✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes, Luke Cage
Overall: ✰✰✰✰
Tumblr media
THE PUNISHER
“Those who do evil to others - the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists - you will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me... The Punisher.”
Frank Castle is a murderous vigilante in NYC. I’m going to give you guys a bit of a warning, it is VERY brutal and gory.  To fully understand the backstory of Frank you have to watch Daredevil Season 2. He’s back from the “dead” and has new battles and villains to face, including someone very close to him. You get to fully understand the way Frank’s mind works...to an extent and how corrupt the U.S government really is.  I’m someone who doesn’t mind gore so I really enjoyed this and the story line will keep you on edge. 
Plot: ✰✰✰✰
Action: ✰✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Frank Castle
Overall: ✰✰✰✰
Drama
Tumblr media
DYNASTY
“The Carrington impulse is to throw money at a problem and if that doesn't work, lie.”
From the FIRST episode this show leaves you gasping for air. Who doesn’t love watching rich people’s drama? The Carrington’s are one hell of a family, tons of drama and money crowd them. There’s mistresses, secrets, lies and murder (just like any good drama). 
This show honestly will make you laugh with Fallon’s wits and sarcasm as well as her raunchiness. The show also brings up some good social discussions such as immigration and racism. If you’re a fan of shows like Empire and Scandal you’ll definitely want to check out Dynasty.
Plot: ✰✰✰✰✰
Drama: ✰✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Fallon Carrington, Steven Carrington
Overall: ✰✰✰✰✰
Tumblr media
RIVERDALE
“I don't follow the rules. I make them. And when necessary, I break them.”
Riverdale has kind of gotten confusing this season but the drama still prevails. I was a huge fan of the Archie comics as a kid so I do actually really enjoy the spin CW has taken with it.
It’s full of drama, heartbreak, conspiracies and friendship ordeals. The core 4 (Betty, Jughead, Veronica, Archie) solve murder mysteries in their small once innocent town. They stand up in social movements and protest against issues that would ruin the social well-being of the town. 
If you like murder mysteries, witty teens and  small town drama, you’ll want to check this one out if you havent already. 
Plot: ✰✰✰
Drama: ✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Betty Cooper, Toni

STAR
“You and I have very different ideas of nothing. I've had to scratch and claw for everything I've got. So when someone hands me a credit card, that street bitch just comes out.”
I’M SO MAD THIS SHOW ISN’T GETTING MORE RECOGNITION. 
It follows three young girls who become a music trio in Atlanta. This show’s acting is incredible and the drama will continue to keep you on your seat. It EVEN deals with very real issues, even incorporating some recent social justice movements in the episodes.
The shows talks about current issues such as: racism (episodes dedicated to Black Lives Matter), the foster care system, sexual assault, domestic abuse, and addiction. I loved every minute of Season 1 and it leaves on such a huge cliffhanger!!! 
Bonus: The music is INCREDIBLE, and can be found on spotify as well.
Plot: ✰✰✰✰
Drama: ✰✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Alex Crane
Overall: ✰✰✰✰✰ 
SCI-FI
Tumblr media
THE 100
“Who we are and who we need to be to survive are very different things ”
The 100 is honestly one of my favourite shows ever (with the exception of Season 3). It’s everything I would want in a post-apocalyptic show about delinquents in space. 
These kids are incredibly witty, smart and brave-hearted. Imagine being a kid thrown to a radioactive  Earth and having to fight for your lives against the Earth and enemies. There’s romance, there’s so much action and you get to admire the main characters of the show as if they were your own friends. In the first few seasons they’re fighting against the grounders (people who survived the radiation on Earth), then they make an alliance, it’s broken a few times and now they have to go back to space because Earth is now uninhabitable again. There is a Grounders plot which is also pretty well done but I prefer the scientific plot that the show started with. You’ve probably seen tons of GIFS on here about The 100 so what are you waiting for?
Plot: ✰✰✰✰
Drama/Action: ✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Raven Reyes, Bellamy Blake
Overall: ✰✰✰✰
COMING OF AGE / TEEN TV SHOWS
Tumblr media
END OF THE F**KING WORLD
"It’s strange. A lot of the time you don’t register the important moments as they happen. You only see that they were important when you look back."
If you enjoyed Skins you’ll probably enjoy watching James and Alyssa accidentally become fugitives after they get bored and run away from home. 
This show is honestly a mix of everything and I absolutely loved every minute of it. If you have a dark sense of humour, you’ll enjoy the witty remarks from James and Alyssa alike. They’re an odd pair the both of them but they care for each other a lot and watching their relationship progress through ten episodes (needs to be more). 
The quotes are powerful they make you think about life, love, sex, relationships and everything in between.
Plot: ✰✰✰
Drama/Action: ✰✰✰
Favorite Character: James
Overall: ✰✰✰✰
Tumblr media
THE GET DOWN
“This ain’t Disneyland, this s*** is the f*****g Bronx. Either you be strong, or you be gone. All I find, all I keep. Either you beat the world, or you get beat.” 
First of all, I am so sad Netflix decided not to renew this gem of a show. It follows a group of kids in the hip-hop/disco scene in New York City, specifically the Bronx. 
I really enjoyed this show, it was really different and I loved the musical numbers included in it. The fashion was everything and every single character is so lovable. 
The show also discusses the poverty in their community and the gang violence that surrounds them. This post doesn’t do it enough justice but seriously, it’s awesome and you should check it out.
Plot: ✰✰✰✰
Drama/Action: ✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Marcus “Dizzee” Kipling, Mylene Cruz
Overall: ✰✰✰✰

ON MY BLOCK
This one is basically hot off of Netlix’s production company, it came out March 16th. It’s currently on it’s first season and has a total of ten episodes! (Super-easy to binge and re-watch) Where do I even begin with this show? It made me so nostalgic of being in high school and I honestly wish I had a squad like this during those years. It follows Monse, Cesar, Olivia, Ruby and Jamal through their first year of high school freshmen and all the ordeals that come with your first year of high school. There’ the boy drama, figuring out who you are, helping your friends and all that stuff everyone remembers from high school. But throw in the fact that these kids live in an inner city, they have more issues they’re dealing with such as gang violence in their community.The show also does a pretty okay job at discussing the racial issues all of the characters face (such as Olivia’s parents deportation) cultural appropriation and Monse’s struggle with her mother leaving her. I honestly fell in love with this show and all of the characters. If you’re looking for a good pick me up show this is the one to watch. They’re a really dynamic group of kids to watch and honestly who can’t help but laugh at Ruby’s sarcastic remarks? Or even Jamal’s constant clap-backs and schemes with Ruby’s Abuelita. The season finale will leave you in tears so don’t say I didn’t warn you! (which is why I need all of you to watch it right now so we can get it renewed for season 2!)
Plot: ✰✰✰✰✰
Drama/Action: ✰✰✰✰
Favorite Character:  Honestly? All of them I can’t choose a favourite.

Romeo and Juliet with grunge ~ Part 1
This is the first thing I have written on here and I do plan on uploading more chapters. If I do write any more for this I will be leaning more into the fluffy dark comedy(?) genre so any feedback is appreciated. 
~~~
Part 1
Betty breathed in as she stepped outside for the first time that morning. The air was unusually warm for November, however an icy chill struck her as a gust of wind swept through the trees. She headed back inside to get her coat, finding her mother and father talking in hushed tones by the stair. They sprung apart as soon as they saw betty observing them.
“Everything ok honey?” Alice asked, her Stepford smile faltering slightly under Betty’s icy stare.
“Just came to get my coat” she brushed off her mother’s attempts to help her and ruched out of the door and onto the familiar road to Riverdale High.
Everything had changed in the Cooper household when Betty’s sister Polly had gotten pregnant and fled the small town of Riverdale to raise her baby with her boyfriend Jason. Betty hadn’t been aware anything was wrong until she came home from vixen practise 6 months ago to find her mother and father sat round the kitchen counter. They explained Polly’s ‘less than ideal’ situation. The shame of a baby born to unwed parents was too much for them. They had given Polly ultimatum, either she gave the baby up for adoption, or leave town.
Betty had cried more than she thought she ever could that night, the tears just wouldn’t stop. She had always admired Jason and Polly’s relationship. Polly had had a crush on Jason for years, but she knew being with him could only be a pipe dream. However, when Jason had asked her on a date to pops a year ago, she was ecstatic. Hal and Alice, although, did not approve. They forbade her to go anywhere near him or that family, but Polly didn’t care.
She’d spent hours getting ready, convinced this was the night she and Jason would confess their love for each other. She had snuck out of her window and returned in the early hours of the morning and snuck into Bettys room to tell her about the dreamy boy who had confessed his love to her that night. They had spent all that night chatting and planning for the future, a future neither realised would be coming true for Polly, sooner rather than later.
She hadn’t spoken to Polly in a while, their only means of communication were email drafts in a shared account Polly had set up so they could still talk, against their mothers misguided wishes. It was revealed a few months back that she was having twins, this and their impeding due date meant the young couple were rushed off her feet trying to get everything in order with the money Jason had saved before the Blossoms cut him off. The last message she had received Polly had invited her to come up to Ohio and stay with them. Away from “the evil clutches of Alice Cooper” was how she had phrased it. Home may be hell but there were other factors to consider. She was a senior with a 4.0 GPA to maintain, as well as her amazing friendships, old and some new. She couldn’t leave them all behind, so she had politely declined. It had ruffled Polly’s feathers a bit, something Betty chalked up to hormones, hence her lack of reply but betty knew she’d get over it soon enough.
Betty rounded a corner just as she heard somebody shout her name. She whipped her head around to see Archie Andrews waving at her from a few feet away. She smiled, only slightly forced as he approached. Archie had been her next-door neighbour since before she could remember, they had grown up together with Kevin Keller, the sheriff’s son, as the three musketeers.  They had been inseparable as kids, something Archie still hung on to, much to Betty and Kevin’s dismay. While they loved their friend, he could be a bit clingy and was yet to grow out of his childhood crush on Betty. Something he wasn’t the subtlest about. Betty always laughed off his advances, and when she did he would move onto the next girl falling over themselves at his muscles, but he could never seem to shake those feelings he’s held onto for so long.
“What’s up Coop” he said, swinging his arm over Bettys shoulders “I didn’t see you this weekend”
She chuckled and carefully removed his arm “Hey Arch, sorry I was busy”
“You’re always busy nowadays. We hardly see you anymore”
“I’m meeting you guys at Pop’s tonight, you’re coming right” she said as they walked through the gates
“Of course, it wouldn’t be right if I wasn’t there” Archie laughed as they walked through the lot. His eyes drifting to a group over by the motorcycle bay. “That Southsider’s looking at you again Betts”
Bettys eyes drifted to where Archie was staring down a dark, brooding looking boy. A cigarette dangled from his lips as he retrieved a lighter from the leather jacket that hung across his shoulders, boasting the infamous South Side Serpents logo.  She locked eyes with him and he smiled at her. She stifled a blush and looked back towards the doors. “pay him no mind Arch. Come on I need to speak to Veronica about practice tonight.”
Archie reluctantly tore his eyes away from the boy after giving him a disgusted look and followed Betty inside.
***
“What you staring at Jones” Sweet pea smirked, glancing at Jughead, “In another stare down with that Northside jock I see.
“He’s a clueless dickhead, not unlike most of the jocks here” Toni pipes up from his shoulder “He’s lost so many brain cells he doesn’t even see that that chick he’s always with isn’t interested. Just stares at her with puppy dog eyes, it’s quite depressing actually”
“Well, I feel bad for her. Putting up with men is hard work” Sweet pea interjects
“I wonder if she’ll give me a go” Toni says, “If there wasn’t that stupid rule I might actually go there”
“Rules be rules Toni” Jughead took a puff from his smoke before continuing “we all agreed before we came to this school we weren’t going to touch the Northsider’s. We want no strings attached for when we have to go back to Southside High. It’s not like a Serpents true love would be a Northsider anyway”
Sweet pea saluted him as Toni huffed “Too good to be true anyway, but you’ve got to kiss a few princesses before you find your true love. My luck I’ll end up with a frog”
“Yes, you have to kiss a few but you don’t have to bang them as well Toni” Jughead laughed at Sweet peas remark as Toni smirked.
“Personal preference. I like to make sure they’re not the one before I let them go”
Yeah, yeah” Jughead laughed as he stubbed out his cigarette and stood up “See you guys at the Wyrm tonight”
“Sure thing” Sweet pea said as Jughead skulked off towards Riverdale highs doors
***
“I’m sorry Kev, but no” Betty said as they walked out of English towards the cafeteria.
“Please please pleaseeee Betts. It’s my fault we broke up this time so it’s my responsibility to fix it! I need your help”
Betty rolled her eyes. She had just been informed of her best friends frankly insane idea to get his on again off again boyfriend, Moose, back after their breakup this weekend.
“Has it occurred to you Kev that you and Moose may not be that healthy as a couple. I mean this is at least breakup number 8 and that’s only the ones I hear about. I don’t like you getting hurt again and again”
“I hear your concern and believe me I understand but it was all my fault this time!” He took a deep breath and looked at the floor “Joaquin was back in town for a few days visiting him Grandmother and like the stupid romantic I am I kissed him at the game after party at the Whyte Wyrm. Of course, Moose saw, and I have been working my but off to make it up to him, but nothing works.” He collapsed onto a chair at their usual table, head in his hands.
“Is he still trying to rope you into his stupid plan to get moose back” Veronica asked as she sat gracefully next to Kevin. “Come on Hun, its time to move on and try someone new”
“Coming from veronica lodge who had been in love with a certain ginger since she came here and won’t act on her feeling cause she’s too afraid” Kevin taunted, sitting up to face the fuming raven haired goddess.
“You know full well why I can’t do that, if you liked them you would be scared too!” she whisper shouted “and… oh shit, they’re coming this way”
Their table of 3 turned around to see Cheryl Blossom strutting towards them. Her usual red lipstick was replaced by a dark plum as she seated herself opposite Veronica
“Afternoon, outcasts.” She sounded monotone as she leant forward and stole a grape from veronicas plate “How are we all doing this fine winters day”
“I was fine Cherry, until Satan in Louboutin’s stole my food that is.” Veronica fired back, looking pleased with herself.
“Enough pleasantries, I like to limit my time at this table to 2 minutes, should it affect my reputation. So, I’ll get straight to the point. Vixens practice will run late today so better inform that criminal daddy of yours and tell him not to send the limo till 7” she stood up and brushed off her skirt “That’s all”
“Always a pleasure, Cheryl” Kevin said as she walked away. “I swear that girl has an ego bigger than Reggie’s, I don’t know what you see in her V”
“Oh, bad girls are the best kind of girl, a lot more intriguing to unravel” Veronica winked at Kevin ad the turned to Betty “No offence B, I’m sure some guys love a good girl too”
“How do you know I’m not a bad girl.” Betty said, looking down at her salad “I could be naughty, a risk taker”
Veronica and Kevin looked at each other then back to Betty as Archie sat down “It will be a cold day in hell when betty cooper does something daring” he said, “No offence Betts but you don’t submit a paper until you’ve done at least 3 drafts, it’s part of your endearment”
Betty stood up and grabbed her bag “On that supportive note, I have an article to finish. I’ll see you all at Pop’s later”
Betty walked purposefully away as Archie watched, looking confused “Was it something I said?”
“Oh Archiekins, how anyone finds you charming is beyond me” Veronica said packing up her lunch and beginning to follow far behind betty “I wish your next hook up good luck!”
Archie looked towards Kevin, disgruntled “Just the lads today then Kev”
“Just the way I like it” Kevin said, a mischievous glint in his eye.
***
Jughead walked through the unfamiliar halls of Riverdale High. It had been just over two weeks since Southside high was victim of an arson attack, culprit not caught yet. They had been moved to Riverdale high affective immediately and after a few first week jitters (such as fights between jocks and serpents) they were all settled in. Jughead was only certain of the location of one room, the ‘Blue and Gold’. He had been taken on as a writer as soon as his English teacher realised his talent that had gone unrecognised at Southside high.
He found the door unlocked and sat in his usual corner, laptop open on his lap as he tried to finish an article on how the Southsider’s had been settling in in this unfamiliar environment when the door opened.
***
Betty stood in the doorway of the blue and gold office to find the only other member huddled in the corner. She nodded at Jughead before closing the door, sitting at her desk and taking out her laptop to finish some work on her latest article.
A few minutes passed in relative silence before Jughead looked up from his laptop and said “Look this is ridiculous. It’s been a while, I’m pretty sure none of you friends are about to burst in and- “
Before he could finish, he was cut off by Bettys lips on his in a passionate kiss. He stands up to meet her, pressing his body against her and he can instantly feel all the tension in his and hers bodies melt away. His hand slides under her pastel sweater, his hand wrapping around her back as he brought her as close as he could, breathing her in.
One year ago, if somebody told him he would have found the love of his life, a Northside princess, and that he would be here with her right now, the happiest he’s ever been, he would have thought you were insane. But here he was. They had met 11 months ago when his sister, Jellybean’s, teacher had said she was falling behind on her English Lit and if the 14-year-old didn’t pick up her grades her GPA would begin to fall. When he enlisted the help of a tutor from the Northside he didn’t expect somebody as seemingly perfect as betty cooper to turn up on his doorstep, and, truth be told, he despised her at first. She was too perfect, too pure, too everything he wasn’t, and it pissed him off. He told her as much for at her first month, them both falling into a mutual hatred. That was until the day she turned up at the trailer, late, eyes blotchy from crying and hand dripping blood. He sent Jelly off to give Hot Dog a walk while he comforted her. She told him about her overbearing, abusive mother, her weak father who never stood up for her and her party girl sister who was never there to defend her. At that time, she had just been shouted out of the house by Alice Cooper for refusing to take her unnecessary ADHD medication. For the first time, he looked at her. Really looked at her, and suddenly he realised. She wasn’t the perfect Northside princess he thought she was. She was a brave fighter, battling daily in her own home. Trying not to drown under expectation but this very moment she had finally been broken. He then realised, they were the same. He told her of his past. How his mother left him when he was 7 and Jelly was 4. How their father turned to gangs and alcohol to drown out the pain. How he was living in the flat above the Whyte Wyrm till he was sober enough to take care of his two kids who now lived alone at the old trailer, practically orphans. She clutched his hands when he had finished telling her, tears in her eyes, telling him it would all work out I the end. That was when he broke down in her arms as she whispered sweet nothings in his ear until he was fit enough to tend to her injuries.
She apologised repeatedly for going to him and not her friends as he cleaned her palms and bandaged them up in the old bathroom in his trailer. But he was glad she did and told her so. He had invited her to stay there for the night on the couch, an offer she agreed to almost immediately, making him chuckle. All these memories were rather hazy, but it’s what happened that night, after Jellybean had gone to bed, that he would never forget.
***
They both sat on the old beaten up couch. It had been a fun night after Jellybean had come home from the walk. They had raided the cupboards and found assorted snacks to tide them over while Jughead ordered a pizza. The girls talked all things engine (most of the jargon going right over Jughead’s head) they played poker with assorted chocolates which jellybean worryingly won. It was now around 10pm and Jughead and Betty were currently setting up a movie on his laptop.
“Ok, we’ve got Rear view window or Rebel without a cause. Take your pick and be warned I will judge you very harshly.”
“They are both cinematic masterpieces, but I have to say I’m a sucker for James dean.” Betty smirked as Jughead nodded in agreement.
“Rebel without a cause it is then”
As the title screen began to play, Betty shuffled from her position at the end of the couch, closer to the screen on Jughead’s lap.
“You can come closer Bets. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t bite” Jughead smirked as Betty rolled her eyes and pressed her body up against his side, his arm moving around her shoulders. He gulped at her proximity, he could feel her breathing under him and it gave him a weird feeling in his stomach, “Better?” He asked
She nodded, looking up at him, their faces inches apart. “Thank you Jughead, nobody’s ever done so much for me without an ulterior motive before, it’s a welcome change”
He was upset shed been treated so badly, she was so kind and gentle “You deserve the world Betty, even if other don’t see it, I do now. I’m sorry I was a douchebag before, can you find it in that full heart of yours to forgive me?” he pleaded
She looked at his eyes then her gaze flicked down to his lips, he felt this otherworldly force pulling them together as she moved in and kissed him. Lips on lips. It was slow and steady and unsure but also magical. He felt fireworks and when she pulled away, he leaned in for more and she accepted it gratefully. He abandoned the laptop, still playing, on the coffee table as she pushed him down on the sofa and kissed him, both wanting more, feelings of want they had disguised as hate over the past month all came to a head as she went to pull her shirt over her head.
He stopped her, placing his hands over hers “Not tonight, there will be plenty of time for that another time, that’s if you’ll have me?”
She giggles and nods as they both just stare into each other’s eyes, seeing the other so clearly for the first time.
“We forgot about the film” She whispered against his lips a few minutes later
“You know what? Fuck the film” He said, sitting up and closing the lid to the laptop. Betty was still straddling is lap so he picked her up and began walking with her in the direction of his room as she squealed.
“Oh god, he was going to fall hard for this girl” was the only thought in his mind at that moment. He wasn’t wrong either.
***
She pulled away for air after a few minutes and looked up into his deep blue eyes.
“I missed you Juggie” She whispered, hands playing with his hair, his beanie having fallen off earlier.
“We spent the whole weekend together Bets, don’t you remember. I’d be happy to remind you if you don’t…” He ran his hand back down from its place on her lower back and moved it to pinch her waist. She giggled at the action but pushed him away.
“There’s nothing I’d like more Jug, but I have vixen practice and if we don’t want Ronnie storming in here in 20 minutes and blowing the cover we’ve done so well to maintain, I suggest we leave it there Romeo” she blew him a kiss as she packed up her bag and walked up to the door “I love you Jug”
“I love you too Bets, so fucking much” He walked up to her and kissed her cheek. “Have a good practise, I’ll see you tonight”
With that he winked, and she left, keeping a straight face in case anybody took notice of her unusually good mood. No one had so far. They had been dating for 10 months and nobody had suspected a thing. Covert make out sessions under the bleachers and in the blue and gold were daily. They also spent at least 3 nights together every week. Either he snuck through her window or, when her parents were out visiting Polly (a weekly occurrence), she would sleep at the trailer. As great as it all was, mornings at the trailer were the best. J.B was the only person who knew about their relationship, so they were able to lay on the PDA, much to her teenage disgust. They’d lay around watching movies, eating whatever betty made that morning and they were always in a great mood thanks to last nights ‘activities’. She loved her life with Jughead, she still had the stuff at home and the mounting pressure at school wasn’t helping, but when she felt her lowest, he would always pick her back up.
But she was tired. Not just tired, exhausted with keeping it all a secret. She needed to let the world know she was in love. But now, they weren’t allowed to be together. It was Jughead’s estranged dad who enforced the rule as leader that no serpent was to get involved with a Northsider when the schools merged. It was a smart move, however very unhelpful to her. She and Jughead had already been involved, months and months of being emotionally and intimately involved. They were in love, and she was sick of hiding it like a dirty little secret. It was time to tell someone.

A life changing bet. [Sweet Pea]
A/N: the 12045th Serpent initiation fic on this godforsaken site, but I felt like writing something for Sweet Pea. Enjoy! <3
December.  You hated December. Your parents would leave on this expensive beach vacation and leave you at home because you never agreed with their dumb travel destinations. You hated cold wintery December, but at least Riverdale was better than some random beach with fancy old people and drunk, slutty partying teenagers. So you were home alone, threw this sort of mini party for you and your friends and ended up losing a bet that was gonna change your life.
So there you stood.  At the other side of the street, across from the White Wyrm. You tried to stay calm and collected as you made your way to the front steps. The bar was a mess from the outside and seemed really small, but when you stepped inside those thought disappeared immediately. No North sider ever set foot in this bar without an invite, which was made very clear by all the stares you got as you walked inside and sat down on a stool at the bar.You ordered a drink, and another one later, and some more through the hours you spent at the bar. You barely spoke to anyone at first but you didn't have to anyways. You only had to make it through the night. 
What you didn't expect to happen, was you ending up having an interesting conversation with the -very good looking- bar girl. A while into the conversation, two hands were placed on your shoulders. "North siders don't belong here, princess." The bar girl wanted to step in but before she had a chance to say anything, you turned around. "You really need to work on your insults, sweetheart." You said mimicking his tone. You sat with your back against the bar and raised a foot to rest against his stomach and shoved his back. This got you a free drink and an applause from the bar girl, who gladly informed you that you had just dug your own grave. "I'm still impressed, really. I thought all North siders were actual princesses that never lifted a finger." She spoke, pouring your drink and laughing. "But for real. You're lucky he hasn't come back for you yet, the guy's got some serious anger issues towards your kind." As the hours passed, you started getting tired and decided to head home after bar girl's shift ended. But before you could leave, she snatched your phone from your hands and added her number to your contacts. "Come visit me again?" You laughed as you got your phone back. "Of course, Toni." 
When you arrived home, you checked your messages, which included some of your friends asking if you were still alive and discussing on how your evening might have been in the group chat, and a work schedule from Toni. Some days with your friends had passed and all of them were still surprised about you surviving that night at that gang's bar. You forgot to mention that by this time you had gotten back there a couple of times already and became sort of friends with a select few people there. But tonight you were home alone again, texting back and forth with Toni while you were getting ready to head back to the bar to keep her company. 
Arriving at the bar, you received all kinds of glares like every time before, though the had become less and less. You didn't care at all anymore and made your way to your friend. Before you even sat down, a drink had been set on the bar for you already. You didn't get the chance to finish your first drink before the guy from the first night had made his way back and sat down next to you. "Back off, Sweet Pea." Toni warned him. "She's a friend." Toni had told you about this guy and his posse already. He and a guy named Fangs being the ones mentioned the most. You shook your head and sighed. "Are you jealous I'm getting more attention from the hot bartender than you are?" You started with a smirk. "Or maybe," you leaned in closer. "You're jealous of her getting all my attention." At that last comment, Toni lost it. She couldn't hold her laugh anymore and cried out in laughter, other younger serpents that stood close enough joined her laughing fit as Sweet Pea's smirk turned into a snarl. "Well Sweets, looks like you've finally found that one North sider that you can't scare away." Toni said, trying to calm her breathing. Sweet Pea turned back to you as that well known smirk appeared back on his face. "You know the that only way you can stay is by becoming one of us, right?" There was no way you could say yes to that. He had you now and he felt as proud as ever. "Okay, cool." You shrugged in return and got up, taking a few steps towards the exit. You could feel the pride radiating off Sweet Pea as you turned back around, causing him to raise an eyebrow in surprise. "So, how do I join?" That comment had a lot of heads turning. None of the members you had talked to expected you to really take up the offer, no matter how close you'd get with any of them. Walking back to Toni, she gave you a look asking you if you were sure. You silently nodded yes and she grabbed her phone, "Yea hey, we gotta plan an initiation." "Alright we'll see you later." And she hung up again. Cheers filled the entire bar, everyone cheered for you except Sweet Pea, who was still staring in disbelief. You sat back on your barstool and finished your drink, joining the cheering crowd of Serpents. Hours passed again, you were surrounded by people introducing themselves and talking about their own initiations to give you an idea of what was waiting for you. Sweet Pea had made his way back to the pool table, watching you from a distance the entire night. As Toni noticed this, she nudged you and pointed in his direction. "Seems like a certain someone has an interest in you." She whispered teasingly. "Good." You replied with a smile, looking over your shoulder at the boy at the pool table and finishing your drink. This was gonna be fun.
The next day at home, there was a knock on your front door. As you opened up, there were a bunch of Serpents at your doorstep, handing you a dog on a leash. "Your first initiation task, guardianship of the beast." As soon as you were the only one holding the leash, they stepped back and returned to their side of the tracks. The beast turned out to be the Serpents' dog, Hot Dog. You had to make up an excuse to why there was a dog in your house all of a sudden and decided to go with you having to watch a family member's dog for a few days. As the dog sitting days came to an end, Toni and you had been calling a lot to teach you all the Serpents' rules that luckily weren't that difficult to remember. At the end of the last day you returned Hot Dog to the Wyrm and had a few drinks before getting ready for the second trial. 
You were standing in the middle of the bar, an older member you hadn't met before stood in front of you, shouting so the whole bar heard him. It was time to recite the rules. One by one you got them right and the whole bar was one mess of howls and cheers at the end of it all. 
After another drink you were taken back to the same pool table which now held a large tank with a snake and a knife in it. "This one's easy. Grab the knife." Okay, easy huh. Right. You weren't afraid, just anxious because you didn't want to get bitten, obviously. But you did. Just like 90% of the people in this bar. But you got the knife and that was the only thing that mattered. You just passed another trial. 
Your wrist got patched up and some more drinks happened before you were called outside. You noticed that you hadn't felt a certain boy's eyes on you in a while and as you scanned the bar on your way outside you couldn't find him. Once outside you knew why. There were two rows of Serpents waiting for you. Waiting for you to pass the last trial. You knew what was gonna happen and stood at the start of the line. Across from you stood Sweet Pea, waiting for you to make it to the end of the line. Brass knuckles shone in the last bit of light before nightfall and you could now say for sure that you were absolutely not ready for all of this. All the voices in your head screamed no, but your stubborn self took a deep breath and took the first step forward. You immediately got punched in your side, causing you to sway from one side of the line to the other, catching punches with every part of your body and slowly stumbling your way to the end of the line where you were allowed to take another deep breath before having brass knuckles connect with the side of your face. You fell to the side and hit the ground hard. You could have sworn there was a guy standing there before, but no one was allowed to help you up of course. You had to do this on your own. And you did, you got up and met Sweet Pea's eyes and shook his hand before your knees gave out from underneath you and you collapsed against him. At least this time you got caught before hitting the ground and got dragged back inside the bar where the group of younger Serpents took care of your wounds. You knew you blacked out for a bit on your way back inside, because when you woke up you were sitting on a couch at the back of the bar with an arm around you. Sweet Pea's arm around you. You were leaning against him with a Serpent jacket draped over you as a blanket. Toni and the guy you knew as Fangs sat beside you, smiling at the newest member of their gang.
"Must have been hard for you, huh." Fangs said. "It was okay, actually. I managed, didn't I?" You replied smiling. "I actually meant him." He pointed and looked at Sweet Pea. You looked at him over your shoulder, wondering what he was talking about. "Shut it, Fangs." He snarled. "And shut it, Toni!" He snapped again before she could speak. She couldn't help but laugh at the little secret she had been keeping for a while now. You slowly sat up and looked around at all of them. "What did I miss?" You wondered. "I'm one of you now. Tell me!" You pleaded as the others' eyes landed on Sweets, and so did yours. "So?" You asked again. He only scoffed and looked away, grabbing his drink and downing it in one go. 
"Sweets here.." Toni giggled before Sweet Pea had a chance to speak, thinking enough time had passed for him to say it and found it to be her turn now. "Has a little crush on you~" She dragged the words as her eyes went from him back to you with a huge smile on her face. You turned to face Sweet Pea with a questioning smile and you knew it was either now or never. "Well," You said with a playful smirk on your face. "I passed all those trials, I might as well add this to my list of accomplishments." You painfully sat up completely as you threw your arms around Sweet's neck and kissed him on the lips without a second thought. It only took a second before you felt his arms carefully rest on your sides as he returned the kiss. You broke apart at the sound of cheers and applause from your friends. "I'm sorry." Sweets spoke after a moment of awkward silence. He pointed at the cut underneath your eye. "I kinda had to." He clearly wasn't the best at apologizing, but you didn't care. "I'm fine. It'll heal." You smiled as you kissed his cheek. The four of you shared some more drinks until you were good enough to move around on your own again. They had you get new drink for everyone twice to prove you were doing well enough and after the second round was served and gone, you made your way across the street. 
"Let's make it official, shall we, my serpent princess?" Sweet Pea whispered as you walked into the tattoo shop.

Dream job: fHahah, I have no idea what I want to do with my life, but if this is non-realistic, I would love to be paid to do fun activities or other things that I love like playing games, eating, or traveling (lol my lazy behavior shining through rn)
Dream trip: Traveling around the whole world in a cruise! I’ll have to admit that was the only part of RoE that I liked- the concept of being in a large group that gave you planned activities and fine dining while also traveling around to see and experience different cultures.
Fave food: I’m in love with desserts. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth, and if my friends ever lose me at an all-you-can-eat buffet, you can bet that they’d find me at the dessert section (or alternatively, seafood). You want me to do something? Offer me chocolates and I’ll give you my soul lol. If we’re talking about specific cuisines though, I love Asian (Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese), Italian, French, and American (bc I can’t resist french fries, burgers, and milk shakes)
Nationality: [Vietnamese] American
Fave song: Uh…I have no idea. I obssess over some songs and replay them over and over and then I don’t listen to them for awhile.
Last book I read:   The Cruel Prince by Holly Black.
Favorite genre(s): Fantasy, Sci-fi, Dystopian, and I have a soft spot for romantic comedies.
Top three fictional universes I want to join: Harry Potter,  DC Universe (not the movies though lol) or really any setting with established superpowers and vigilantes, and uhhmmm…idk, a lot of the fictional universes I can think of right now are dystopian so…no.
I’d honestly like to get to know a lot of blogs better so this is really for anyone who’d like to do this, but I’ll also specifically tag @stayfallentastic @zahranamazis , @itlivesontheinternet , @h-artfeld, @emmahawkins, and @lahuertasprincess . If you’ve done this before or aren’t interested in doing this, feel free to ignore, but I look forward to seeing everyone’s answers!
