Hi boo(i hope that was not too cringe)! Could you pls do a percy jackson, enemies to lovers! story? Like in everyone in the Camp knows their hatred against each other but then they get send on a quest together and end up kissing each other to disguise their quest?!
I would really appreciate it!
Have a good Day!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: percy jackson x gn! reader (2nd pov is used but someone does say 'chick')
summary: much to your displeasure, you find yourself on a quest with the one person you hate the most.
warning(s): BICKERING. mutual pining (they just don't know it yet.), kissing, swearing, enemies to lovers.
a/n: IT WASNT CRINGE DWW HAHA, i tried my best!! school starts for me pretty soon so im trying to write as much as i can before i have to go back.. (also im sorry abt the images i dont know whats going on with my computer.)
Tumblr media
you hated them, everyone of them.
that wretched camp and it's obnoxious staff oh, and don't even get you started on that stupid oracle. she set you up! they all did.
gods, why of all people did it have to be him?
perseus jackson - most of the time shortened to just percy jackson, maybe even peter johnson at times. what an ass he was.
believe it or not when you first came to camp half-blood you had actually taken a liking to him. he was cute, full of energy and full of endless bravery, your exact type.
you weren't sure when it begun, your hatred for him, that is. it kind of just..started. when? not sure. your exact guess must've been that one valentine's day when he accidentally sneaked the last muffin at breakfast. yeah, that must've been it.
to be honest though, you didn't need a reason. you just did, and you weren't exactly quiet about it either. from the day you started to hate his guts all his advances to be nice to you were met with a glare or a huff. sometimes you'd just straight up walk away from him.
so, it basically didn't take him long to send you back the same glares or huffs or even the smallest mutter of 'geez, not this chick again..' everyone hoped the feud would dissipate, that the two of you would grow the fuck up and call a truce.
too bad their prayers didn't help.
infact, you were pretty sure that even if the gods themselves came down from olympus and said 'get along or die right here' you'd pick the latter in a heartbeat.
so, when you'd initially been called into chiron for some 'great news' you'd expected him to tell you that percy had finally decided to leave camp - or that you'd won the lottery. fuck, you wished that was it.
Tumblr media
"hey, stay on your side, bucko!" you said, nudging percy to the side aggressively. "i'm not on the market, especially for you."
"can you be serious for second!" percy snapped back, his eyebrows furrowed in frustration. "we have to prove to chiron that we can do this." he turned back to face the front. "or...we're in for another lecture."
"i wouldn't mind, really," you grinned. "i've perfected the art of sleeping with my eyes open."
"if only you could perfect the art of silence.."
you glared at him.
the two of you were submerged underwater at the moment in one of percy's bubbles. chiron had asked of you to go to queens in order to do..something? you didn't really pay attention to chiron at the time - besides, you were thinking about drowning yourself in the nearest lake when you'd heard the percy going on the quest with you in tow. the only thing you could remember was that it was super important to not let anyone see you.
something about the appearance of two demigod children to monster being dangerous? you weren't sure why he thought the things wouldn't be able to sniff you out anyways.
the bubble wasn't even your idea to be fair. you'd suggested just taking the train, as it much easier but percy disagreed - as usual. said it would be quicker to just swim over via bubble transfer and although you wanted to disagree, you settled on the idea that the station at this time would be packed as hell.
so you bit your tongue and allowed yourself to be trapped in a bubble with percy for about a half an hour or so.
"ugh, how much longer..?" you asked, adjusting your clothes uneasily. the bubble wasn't by any means uncomfortable just..kind of warm? weirdly enough. percy didn't spare you a glance only opting to shurg his shoulder slightly as he focused on the vast ocean in front of the two of you.
you glared at him from your spot in the bubble, uncomfortably crossing your legs as you turned away from him, jumping when you realized a never before seen fish was staring into your soul from outside the bubble. it wasn't a surprise to you to see the fish, percy was the son of poseidon, you expected him to go full aquaman one day and pull up to camp half blood with a stream of wild dolphins and squids.
still, the beady little dead eyes scared the shit out of you. and in your natural knee jerk reflex, you moved back, inching into percy and bumping his shoulder. he turned to face you with a distasteful look, face contorting in confusion when he noticed the small school of fish now gathering.
your face morphed into one of uncomfort as you gazed at the tons of fish that seemed to spawn out of nowhere. "uh..can you call your friends off?"
percy seemed to share a look with the fish, a look of embarrassment flashing over his face briefly as he glared at them intensely. you looked on at the exchange in silence because, was he really talking to fishes? the fish eventually scrammed after a while and you and percy were back on your way. silence fell over the two of you before you spoke up suddenly.
"i didn't know you spoke fish.."
"drop it."
Tumblr media
"i think we're here." percy annouced as the bubble started to drift closer to shore. were you guys there? you weren't sure at all. you were just happy to be out of that bubble - the close proximity was making you break out.
you were in fact there, somehow. and it was by then it hit you that this was a quest - a really important mission for a demigod and since it was assigned to specifically you and percy, it meant you had to deliver.
your duo walked towards the city, looking around for any suspicious looking civilians or any sign of irregular activity. it would've been an easy task to scope out the objective of the mission if it wasn't for percy's loud breathing.
seriously, you could hear him practically breathing down your neck as the two of you walked. him and his stupid big nostrils - you couldn't focus.
"mind breathing a little less loud?"
percy blinked at you. "these requests are starting to get literally concerning." his face contorted in confusion. "how the hell does one 'breathe a little less loud' ?"
"they not be percy jackson."
"that wasn't even english??"
you were about to say something else smart when a couple of people ahead caught your attention, they weren't inherently weird looking but, you got this vibe from them - that they weren't completely human. your mind raced as you looked around as nonchalantly as you could.
there were people here. to your right, 2 parents and their one hyperactive son who clawed at the ice cream in front of him with his tongue, a bright smile on his face and to your left a group of younger looking teenage girls who were chatting brightly. most likely about hair dye because their highlights were so bright they were giving you eye cancer.
you thought fast. pulling percy by his wrist as you dashed down the street, rushing into the nearest store slash tourist attraction you could as you pushed him into the corner roughly, looking behind you to see if the people had followed you.
he gave you a completely surprised look, slight annoyance forming on his face as he exhaled heavily. "is there any reason you felt like dragging me into this.." he looked around, eyes landing on a random cowboy hat that was situated on a hook in the corner of the place. "slightly..cool place?" he finished, grabbing the cowboy hat and observing it curiously.
"i saw them, well - i think i did.." you mumbled out, looking around erratically as you watched out for any signs of being followed. percy quirked an eyebrow at you.
"the IRS finally caught you orr.."
"percy, this is serious!" you exclaimed, growing slightly embarrassed when the store owner shot the two of you a look. you smiled at the owner awkwardly, ushering percy into a corner with your hand.
"look, i'm pretty sure i found the guys we were going here for." you said, still stealing glances behind you. "i saw them..just now, when were walking."
"did they follow us?" percy asked, more seriously now.
"i'm not sure," you frowned.
percy thought for a moment before speaking once more."they wouldn't do anything with all these humans here - we just have to make sure we blend in."
"and how do you suppose we do that?"
percy grinned at you, reaching over to grab another hat that was right next to the one he'd picked up earlier.
you grimaced, who's idea was it to put you two together?
Tumblr media
"do you think we lost them?"
"nah, we definitely still need the disguises."
the two of you were situated on the street currently, attempting to look as normal as possible. though, it was pretty hard to with these stupid cowboy hats percy insisted the two of you had to wear. claimed it would be "inconspicuous" but in reality it was extremely, eye catching.
you figured he just wanted you to wear it so he could laugh behind your back about how utterly foolish you looked. it didn't help that he'd picked out the hat with the corniest design for you - and it was bedazzled.
you let of a huff of frustration. "can we switch? this one's too big on me., i'm half blind here, man."
"you'll live," percy reassured. "besides, it's better if they can't see your face."
"what's the use? they'll just sniff us out eventually."
percy shot you a look. "you're no fun."
you opened your mouth to say something when percy's face changed as he locked eyes with something behind you. you barely had time to react when he pulled you into a brutal bear hug, turning you away from whatever it was that was behind you.
your muscles tensed as your face started to burn with embarrassment. a "what the fuck, percy?" was muffled into his shirt as you felt the presence of the monsters nearing closer. your heart sank to your feet as realized how near they were really.
"whatever i do.." percy whispered in your ear. "just promise you won't be too mad."
"what're you talk-"
and then before you knew it, you'd lost your lip virginity. i mean, it wasn't the worst first kiss story you'd have to tell people. boy kissed me in order to distract the bloodthirsty monsters that were tracking us down! wow, how romantic.
in all honesty, you knew percy just did what he had to do. you knew he just had to keep you to keep your disguises up. that was probably the rest why you leaned into the kiss, hands coming up to rest on his chest as his brutal bear hug eased into more a gentle hug, his hands moving the hold your hips.
the kiss had to look real - romantic. that's why you pretend to be so into it that you let out a satisfied hum. you weren't sure if the monsters had moved on from the two of you, you weren't even sure if you were safe at all in the moment. but, it was starting to get hard to think as your mind swirled with various conflicting thoughts that stemmed from your actions at the moment.
percy broke the kiss, his eyes gazing into your curiously as he removed his hands from your hips slowly. you removed your hand from his chest, pulling away gently. your eyes searched his own for any sign of discomfort or disgust as you started to grow weary of the fact he'd just stolen your first kiss.
yet, you were surprised to find that there was none - just confusion and surprise. you tore your eyes away from him, clearing your throat. as you fixed your outfit. "i..i think i saw them go somewhere over there." you pointed at the secluded alleyway not too far from where you and percy stood. "let's go - we can get the drop on them."
percy stared at you for a moment before nodding, slightly dazed and following you towards the alleyway silently.
Tumblr media
the ride back home - or should you say float back home was silent, as it always was. though, something different seemed to be hanging in the air this time. a feeling of awkwardness that was mostly unnatural to you and percy.
you wanted to ask about it - the kiss, why did he do it? why was that first thing he came up with? why did he lean into you slightly? why did the world seemed to stop for a second when your lips met and most of all whyyy the hell did you want it to happen again?
you stole a glance at percy. the two of you were a few feet away from each other, on opposite sides of the bubble. maybe you were going crazy or something but did percy look..good? you swore it was just because of the mixed feelings you had about him being your first but you couldn't shake the thought about how beautiful he looked in the moment.
okay, something's not right.
"do you wanna talk about it?" you blurted out suddenly, shifting positions as you leaned forward slightly. percy turned to look at you, he wasn’t annoyed nor angry, not even suicidal. he looked, enamored — and slightly caught off guard by your question.
"talk about what exactly?"
your eyebrows furrowed. "you kissed me, percy jackson." you pointed at him accusingly. "and you liked it."
percy blew a raspberry, a slightly surprised look on his face. "what makes you think i liked it?"
you paused. had you read something wrong? you thought about dropping the idea but thought against it, deciding to die on that hill. "because your hands somehow found their way onto my hips," you started. "and your lips pursed — and your heartbeat picked up little by the little the longer it lasted."
you crossed your legs, inching away from percy as you gave him a small frown. "and..you looked at me weird." percy's face was flushed as he looked at you silently from his position on the other side of the bubble.
"how did i look at you..?"
you glanced at him. "like you didn't want to drown me in the lake and leave my body for the fishes." you joked. "like..you didn't hate me."
"i don't hate you."
your head spun towards percy, your eyes widened comically. you opened your mouth to say something but the words were caught in your throat. percy analyzed you before speaking once more.
"i don't think i ever have, it's just - you're very annoying." percy sighed. "and it sucks because you're more attractive than you think you are." you stared at him in silence. your heart pounded in your chest as you gulped.
"do you like me?"
"do you like me?" percy repeated with emphasis on the me.
you laughed, inching towards percy on the other side of the bubble. "i do." you stopped in front of him, a warm smile on your face as you watched a smile break out onto his face. "i like you too." he whispered, staring at you quietly before leaning forward slightly to test the waters.
you instantly took the bait, leaning forward as well as you locked lips with percy one again. a bolt of lightning shot through you as you leaned into his touch, placing your hand on his shoulder as you climbed into his lap. percy seemed more than happy to have you there, his hands coming to rest on your hips so he could keep you steady.
you broke the kiss, hands slithering around his neck as you looked down at him with a small smile. you were about to say something when your attention was brought to the sickly sight of a line of fish outside the bubble once again. you yelped in surprise, stumbling back slightly and if it wasn't for percy's grip on you, you probably would've busted your ass.
percy looked behind him, slightly annoyed at the presence of the fish. it lingered for a bit longer before dashing off reluctantly. at which point, percy turned to you with a frown. you eyed him curiously.
"what?"
"he's going to tell everyone about the '2 demigods getting it on in the bottom of the sea'. "

nothing breaks like a heart
-luke castellan x reader-
cw: no pronouns used for reader, short, angst :(
Tumblr media
you couldnt take all the looks of pity as you strolled around the camp so you retreated into the woods. maybe you couldve seen this coming- if you just payed more attention to what he was saying. lukes betrayal had shocked the camp and hit you like a freight train. as his significant other, people immediately turned to you, asking you questions, did you know? were you part of the plan? and honestly you were overwhelmed with all the attention you had suddenly gained, all the eyes, watching your every move, campers steering clear of you was not great, but you couldnt blame them. you sat down leaning on thalias tree, silently sobbing, asking yourself questions, looking for signs that he couldve left behind. had he even loved you the same way you love him? for the first week you tried to deny even having feelings for him in the first place, but you couldnt stop hoping that he would come back, or that you would wake up from this nightmare. if thalia were here, she would set you straight, protect you from what had happened, but she wasnt here and was not going to ever be here again. you looked up at the tree for some sort of sign, something to convince you that you arent crazy. thalias leaves had begun to brown and fall, which had never happened before, but it was fall, so you dismissed the thought. you had too much to worry about and getting worked up about the season changing thalias tree. you looked to the roots, they had started to turn a sickly yellow, maybe it wasnt the change of seasons you thought. could it have something to do with luke? you shook your head again at the the thought. he wouldnt have wanted to betray thalia like that, would he?
Tumblr media
i am surprised that i have been writing again, even if its not much, thank you :)

batman: track and field au
author's note: i just miss track and field varsity even though i wasnt even that good... and ive been thinking about batman track and field au for FOREVER. so today i wrote a bit 📝
things u need to know: bruce is not batman. he's a coach at a school where the rest of the justice league teaches. yes, they're still the justice league. and yes, his robins still end up as vigilantes. jason is 15 in this; the joker hasn't gotten to him yet. also i added some characters ahead of the timeline bc i love them :/
Jason stumbles over from the finish line, grinning and sweat-drenched. And then his face screws up in sudden distress, and he promptly wobbles and collapses onto the hot stadium mat.
A half-formed sound of alarm—
Bruce leaps over the bleacher railing and sprints.
A poor, well-meaning race official gets there first, but Bruce shoulders him roughly aside and crouches by Jason. Jason has turned on his side, holding his right knee tight to his chest and making little pained gasps.
It tears at his heart. “Jason,” Bruce says.
Jason’s eyes are screwed shut, and he says nothing, but one of his hands reach blindly in Bruce’s direction and Bruce grasps it tightly.
“You were terrific, chum.” He squeezes, and feels the tremor that goes through his son. “Stretch your leg out for me.”
Jason shakes his head. “Hurts—”
“I know. I know. Please, Jay.”
It’s slow, and excruciating, but between the two of them they manage to get Jason sitting up, his leg extended straight against the ground. One hand of Bruce’s presses down firmly on the knee, and the other pushes his foot to flex, the metal spikes of Jason’s shoes digging hard into the callused flesh of Bruce’s palm. Jason leans back on his hands, spread flat against the ground, head tilted up to open, cloudless sky, exhaling drawn-out, shaky breaths.
The speakers blare out the next events—second call for Male C’s 400-meter hurdles, and third call for Female B’s high jump. The left side of the crowd begins clapping on beat for their star javelin thrower as she rocks back on her feet, once, twice, and begins bounding forward. Bruce makes a displeased noise. He hopes his throwers remember to pay attention.
A mosquito buzzes by Bruce’s ear and he shakes his head sharply to drive it away. The sweat has been beading at his hairline all throughout, and now it rolls torturously slow down his face. As his hands are otherwise occupied, he makes no move to wipe it, and does his best to ignore the unpleasant sensation.
At last, Jason’s breathing evens out. He tugs his leg gingerly away from Bruce’s hold, cheeks flushed with exertion and, doubtless, embarrassment. “Thanks.”
Bruce sits back on his haunches and wipes the sweat off his face. “Ready to stand?”
Jason raises a hand, wincing as he tests the muscles of his leg. “One sec.”
Bruce nods shortly. Jason safe, his attention wanders over to the bleachers. Tim, thank God, is dragging Damian away from the high railing. Dick and Cass are eating lunch with much avidity—Dick’s best event, high jump, had just ended before Jason’s, and Cass seems to have just returned from shot put. Duke and Stephanie are nowhere in sight, and for a moment Bruce is alarmed, but then he spots them at the stage and relaxes. Duke must have won his high jump—he stands on the highest podium, and even from here Bruce can tell he’s grinning—and Stephanie is clicking away on the school camera next to the official photographer.
As he watches Stephanie turn the camera backward and attempt to take a selfie with Duke, there’s a tap on his thigh. Bruce extends his hand without looking and grasps the hand that interlocks with his, pulling Jason up with ease.
Bruce glances at Jason, and notes how he squints against the glaring afternoon. “Remember to reapply your sunscreen when you get back.”
Jason rolls his eyes. “Not everyone is ghost-white like you.”
“You do not have to be ghost-white to get skin cancer.”
Jason grumbles, but when Bruce raises an imperious eyebrow at him, he raises his hands in surrender. “Fine. Whatever you say, boss.”
“Good. And, Jay...” Bruce reaches out, tentative, and puts a hand on his shoulder. “I meant it. You did terrific.”
Jason beams, bright enough to outshine the day, and something in Bruce’s chest uncurls into warmth.

Stu Macher x M!Reader
AHHHH MY FIRST REQUEST🤭🤭 OFC I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU- Admin Zjay🪷 (reupload since i deleted everything🥲)
Tumblr media
Requested?: yes
Fic type: Headcanons (not sure of you wanted a oneshot or this but just let me know and ill redo it)
Time started: 5:34 AM
Character: Stu Macher x M!reader
A/N: this may be bad since i dont capture extroverted characters’ personalities as well as Introverts but ill try my best😁
Tumblr media
Stu being...well stu never really put much thought into anyone being taller than him until you came that is
When he first saw you it was in his History class that, in all honesty, he wasnt paying that nuch attention in. Just off in la la land and fucking with the other students with his goofy antics
Then you walked in, silently. Having to duck a little since the doorways never took tall people into consideration
Upon seeing a big figure in his peripheral vision he snapped his head towards you and his brain LITERALLY stopped all thoughts from processing everything
He was just ASTONISHED at your size. He was so amazed that he prayed to the gods that his teacher would sit you next to him
Unfortunately for him, she didn’t but will that stop Stuart? Absolutely not
After about an hour of boring lectures about Wars the bell had rung and kids starting pouring out into the halls, running, screaming, talking and laughing and doing what normal Highschoolers do before they speed off to their next class
But not Stu, well, not right away anyways. He was looking for the new kid. You. He searched above everyones heads and then he spotted you. Taller amongst the crowd of teenagers. You made them look like ants. Stu loved your height it was a relief to finally have someone who is taller than he is for a change
He quickly ran up to you after he spotted you and tapped your shoulder. “Hey, you’re in my history class i wanted to ask for your name earlier but-ah...Ms.HasAStickUpHerAss would’ve lectured me for an hour straight and sent me to detention.” he chuckles as he scratches his head, trying to seem awkward
You laugh “Oh is that so? My name is Y/N, what’s yours?” you questioned back as you rummage through your locker to get your textbook. “Stu Macher at your service” he says as he puts on a fake British accent and bows before you as if you are royalty. You laugh again and close your locker, tetxbook in hand.
“Nice to meet you Sir Stu. But if you’ll excuse me I have to get to Math and that’s all the way on the other side of the school” you say in an already exhausted tone. Stu smiles and playfully wraps his arms around your shoulders or tries to, after 4 failed attempts he gets onto his tiptoes and tries it “i can walk you there” he says as he starts to steer you down the hall. “You sure? Won’t you be late to class? If not later than i will be?” you question but Stu just brushes off the question a careless scoff “pffft, I’ll be fine. I have Science and he barely even remembers my face so i’m not worried” he states as he unwraps his arm from your neck, gets off of his tip toes and starts to walk in front of you backwards
He walks you to your class and then after that, yall talk almost everyday you are like his new favorite person to mess with. And the height? Oh he’s definitely gonna tease you about it “hey! Hows the weather up their dude?” “Fe Fi Fo Fum says the giant Y/N” “shhh as you can see hea we have a woild Y/N in its Natural habitat” ‘STU I CAN SEE YOU BEHIND THAT BUSH’
After a few months Stu starts to notice his crush on you. His longing stares, the way he notices every little change and detail about you (the way you slouch to be the same height as everyone, the way you almost bump into every doorway, etc), how he likes to be around you, how he likes to be the short one for once, etc. He’s shocked to say the least, since your both guys and its not really “normal” for the same gender to date but he quickly gets over it because he can love whoever the fuck he wants and if someone has a problem with it? They’ll be hanging by their appendix the next day.
Stu sits on the idea of him having a crush on you for a few weeks all while acting the exact same way except a lot more physical. The noogies turn into him ruffling your hair gently, he asks for you to get things for him even though he can clearly get it himself, he compliments your height more often, the hugs become tighter and longer, and his touches linger. He can tell you feel the same but he isn’t sure but all he needs is a positive response...
A/N: lowkey dont know how to feel about this 🫢i hope you like it though!!
Time ended: 6:31 AM

Hi, if you don't mind explaining, what is lure opping? Google wasnt very helpful 😅
The lure operator is the one who controls the lure! In the below photo you can see her, her ladder (stepstool), and the machine (the box) as she watches Zaku run past.
Tumblr media
Here's my much more janky setup for a different club from last year. You can see my ladder/stepstool (we also have an actual ladder for when we need a longer sightline), and behind it are the motor and wheel attached to a battery, with a second battery on standby. One pulley is to keep the string in position on the wheel and the second sends the string out down the field. The button that controls the speed of the lure is hanging on my stepstool. This photo is from the first time I set the field up totally by myself.
Tumblr media
You control the speed of the lure by "bumping" the button. You push it briefly at slow, regular intervals for slower dogs like dachshunds and rat terriers, faster intervals for faster dogs like salukis and border whippets, and really fast intervals for whippets and greyhounds. You should never be holding the button down.
You want to try to keep the lure ten to fifteen feet in front of the dogs, so they stay sighted but also can't catch it. For baby puppies you keep it much closer-- however close it takes for them to be able to follow the lure. You also want to make sure the dogs go over the finish line at top speed, but also are able to slow down in time to not run into the back wall.
There's also managing the line so it doesn't get tangled while it's being reeled out or in, making sure the line doesn't get broken, accounting for tall or wet grass (which can affect the speed of the lure and how much power the motor needs), and also paying close attention to both your motor heat and battery power. And also don't fall off the ladder while you're running a race.
For straight racing it's pretty straightforward-- just keep it in front of the fastest dog, but for lure coursing it's a lot more complicated since the dogs aren't going in a straight line. I haven't lure opped for lure coursing yet, but am hoping to later this winter.
I hope that answers your question!

ok. i'm caught up on scarlett doing her clout thing. and i gotta know something. does she maybe think that theo mainly came back to them because he wanted to get DUSTIN back and the family was just a package deal? does she maybe think he would never have come back had it not been for dustin? does she look at Theo and see a guy who mainly got his crap together for the sake of the guy he loved, and less for the children he has already admitted he didn't initially want? because then, it might not matter as much to her that dustin loves him and forgives him. because it would have nothing to do with her. she would be the setback to their great love story that they had to overcome.......which is probably why she went overboard in getting this info out. Like a "HA! I KNEW IT! YOU WERE ALWAYS WORSE THAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE!" and obviously she's never forgiven him and doesn't have to, just because Dustin did. Maybe she lowkey looks at Dustin crazy for even letting him back into their lives? Maybe Scarlett has never been able to forgive any of it?...oh god don't let her find out Theo called her the C word. She'd probably try to kill him....YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE STORYTELLER.
OMG! first of all THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! you have no idea how much it really means to me that you read about my wee psychos. im honoured seriously. second. BINGO. ding ding motherfucking ding! theos view on his kids havent changed. when he got himself straight he did that for dusty and for dusty only. the kids come with him and as awful as it sounds...his priority is only dustin and i think dustin may push that down just because he loves him but theres gotta be some part of him thats like questioning some things. although theo LOVES the kids he did everything he did for his husband and to get him back. if it werent for dustin i think scarlett knows that theo wouldve been long gone. the things with her specifically are rocky at best. dustins the real saving grace to her [even though she did him pretty dirty too] dustin took her and raised her. theo wasnt present. her mom was too caught up with jami to pay any attention to her. dustin took over and took responsibility for her. and i think although dustin gives his kids a great childhood.she holds a lot of ill will towards her dad because she knows KNOWS he only did this for the love of his life. theo CARES but even now at his age he's kinda just like theyre a little bit of an afterthought. hes still an asshole and hes been like this since he had his first kid with marlee. [hint he has way more kids than he lets on which is why hes on blake so hard and he knows this. theyre all grown now but he sees some repeats going on here with blake and riv and he isnt a fan ] the only kids theo has that were planned are the twins.. and that was for dustin. and for himself a little. they have these kids that bind them now. dustin cant shake him if he wanted to . he loves them . he does. but his patience is thin and hes old so the babies are a little trying for him. . scarlett absolutely doesnt forgive him for leaving. and her mother kind of turning her back on her leans more into that. and youre absolutely right i think she does look at dustin like what was wrong with our lives before he came back and whys he here? he just doesnt give a fuck . and dustins devils advocate here. he can make up for what theo lacks but i think scarlett wants her dad to be present himself. dustin can only do so much. i think dustin and theo are still working through a lot of things themselves. in dustins mind hed want theo to be more involved but he also knows theos just kind of MEH and theo is also just kind of a shitty person. and always has been. and although hes made some strides here nothing much has changed in regards to his views on kids for sure. LONG WINDED IM SORRY haha!

Hello I am lesbian Akk lmao. Going from thinking I'm straight but aroace to a demi lesbian was a lot 😂 I get akk I really do. When my really pretty friend in uni tried to set me up with some guy to break my virginity. I remember thinking sex with her would probably slap more than with some guy lol. Like akk I always had little attractions here and there for women but my mind would quickly come up with technical reasons that made sense. Now that I think about it trying with men was sooo hard in a way that it wasnt with women. And just like akk when I got to know some women to a point where I felt those feelings, my first thought would be "man if I could only bottle this up and open it when I go on a date with a man" 🤣🤣🤣 and the comphet phase is so sad cause I was surrounded by queer ppl but I was still convinced I was straight and because I wasnt having those feelings for men I must've been aroace. My mind on the other hand would convince me that the same feelings for girls were just cause I found her really pretty or wanted to be like them. My crushes on girls and boys when I was young were so different
For boys- he's popular, he gets good grades therefore I should like him. He was kind to me in class when everyone else was not so I must like him. I would call it an aesthetic attraction. If the boy exuded any semblance of having good manners, it would immediately be "yeah that's hubby right there 👍🏾" cause yeah common sense we have to pick the nice guys ghjkkk
Girls- this used to be more intense, I was barely breathing lmao. Most of the time it was someone I sat next to or would hang out with. And I would really study their face when they weren't paying attention like 'my god she's soo stunning'. Or time would stop when they would pass by or some shit like that and I was still convinced that it meant I wanted to be like them! They literally took my breath away 💀 with boys it was a monotone 'yaas my crush is here' in my mind but with girls the thoughts were not even coherent 'fghjkihggbjkjhff' LMAO AND MY MIND STILL REFUSED TO COMPUTE THAT INTO "hey don't you think maybe we could be lesbian? I mean we cant seem to act normal around pretty girl for 5 fucking minutes" instead my trash software concluded this "no you tots want to be like her ☺️ or you just find her intimidating babe 😘"
To end this long winded ask lmao...akk is an idiot no denying that but his oblivious thought process does make sense. I mean hey at least he knows he's gay that's half the battle 😭
Sincerely,
A lesbian Akk who figured her shit out even later than Akk 💀
Thank you for sharing your story with me! But yeah, the comphet is wild and that’s why I appreciate stories like 23.5 so much. I—and many other queer women—never got that giddy high school first love experience because we were so brainwashed we couldn’t even see what was right in front of us. Homophobes always complain about gay people “shoving it in their faces,” but if that was true, I would have realized I was gay a lot sooner. Heterosexuality was what was shoved in my face.
I’m glad Akk’s journey is relatable to you! Twenty-two is still so young to figure yourself out and although Akk tends to panic about his lack of experience, he’s still well ahead of the curve in my opinion. I’m 31 and still learning different facets of my queer identity. It really is a lifelong process. Akk’s lucky he has Aye to teach him 😉

cuffing season
Tumblr media
a jim hopper x reader fic
el has been begging hopper to go see a concert of some new up and coming artist. hopper doesnt get the hype until he finally hears you sing.
wc : 1.266
contains: reader is famous and kind of. an 80s sza i guess ??? idk u perform cuffin season and hopper is whipped.
- s/n : stage name -
a/n: as soon as i heard this song i think we all thought of him. confirmed byt the dozens of edits ive seen and shared so yall saw this coming. enjoy.
.
.
.
hopper loved jane with all his heart. her entrance into his life gave a new meaning to his world; a new sense of purpose (even if he sometimes likes to act like an all-tough macho man, almost everyone he was close to saw him for the big softie at heart he was.)
but god damn was raising a teenage daughter hard.
he gave it his all and he could tell that she knew it, remembering to say thank you after every nice gesture. she often liked to throw in a little hug as well. he was lucky she was a sweetheart.
but of course given her upbringing in a government lab and being suddenly thrust into the modern world, she wanted more. she wanted to fit in.
so hop wasnt surprised when she asked to go to her first concert.
she had seen a commercial on the television for it at mikes house while hanging with the party, the artist being a woman called s/n who was going to perform some of her songs that had become very popular recently. hopper only listened to his favorite stations, so hes never heard of her songs on the radio.
but, it was the middle of fall nearing winter, and there wasnt much to do in hawkins this time of year, so he reluctantly agreed to drive jane and the party to indianapolis to go see the concert.
(hes barely able to survive the drive. he loves these kids but jeez could they talk about everything but nothing for hours.)
eventually they check in at their overnight hotel before heading to the outdoor venue, their seats being more near the stage.
(this trip cost quite a pretty penny but only the best he could get for them of course.)
its chilly and even snowing a bit but none of the people here even seem to mind, most on the edge of their seats while waiting for the show to start.
jane and max are excitedly whispering amongst themselves while the boys watch on and occasionally join in.
as the lights start to dim in preparation for the show, hopper catches dustin bouncing on the balls of his feet with a big smile on his face.
"what are you so giddy about? probably just gonna be some regurgitated pop songs..." hopper mumbles, confused at the boys excitement.
"no way! you obviously havent heard her most recent song. ever since it came out girls have been all over me. im dedicated to susie but its super cool."
hopper is about to ask him to elaborate when the screams of hundreds suddenly rings out, the lights on stage coming back up to officially start the performance.
when the lights turn on and the music starts, hopper can feel his breath get caught in his throat at the sight of you.
you, probably the most gorgeous woman hes ever seen, looking like an angel in a red fur coat ready to bless the masses. hes too busy staring straight at you that he barely registers your greeting to the audience, and only starts to pay attention when you start singing.
its cuffing season
and all the girls are leavin
to get a big boy
i need a big boy
give me a big boy
your lyrics and the confidence you give while saying them makes his face flush like a damn teenager. he cant remember the last time (or any time for that matter) where he heard a song targeting someone built like him, most songs in the radio desiring someone younger, thinner, and more muscular.
there are other woman singing/rapping along with you saying little jokes about bigger guys that granted do make him chuckle a bit. but even though your part in the song is small, he mostly keeps his eyes on you.
near what hes sure is the closing of the song, as you sing your repeated chorus and move along to the music, your eyes lock on his and his heart damn near stops when your smile widens after looking him up and down, singing while directing the lyrics to him.
its cuffin season
and now weve got a reason
to get a big boy
i want a big boy
give me a big, big, big boy
you wink at him before turning your attention back to the audience, wrapping up the song before continuing the rest. hopper feels a tugging on his arm, looking down at his beaming daughter who looks happier than hes ever seen her.
"shes so pretty! and i love her voice! isnt this so cool?!" she shouts over the music, slightly jumping up and down in excitement.
hopper smiles at her enjoyment, slightly chuckling along with her. "yeah, yeah shes cool, hon."
throughout the rest of the concert hopper finds himself enjoying it more and more, his eyes staying on you nearly the whole time. you make eye contact a few more times, and each time you send a flirtatious smile in his direction.
eventually the performance comes to a close, the kids still hyped and buzzing talking about their favorite parts. just as they're about to head out a security guard stops them.
"is there a problem? one of these kids didnt so something, did they?" jim asks, sending a pointed look in the kids direction, all of them standing still as statues.
"no, nothing wrong at all sir." the guard assures. "s/n is having a vip meet and greet backstage and invited your party to say hello and get some autographs."
hopper doent think hes ever seen the kids get so excited so quickly, but then again they were going to meet their first celebrity.
when its finally their time to meet you, you give them a great big smile and "hello!". you act so well with the kids, answering any question they have and taking a multitude of pictures. he stares on in fondness until you turn your attention to him.
"hi, your daughter told me your name is jim, right?"
"everyone just calls me hopper." he responds, trying to hide how hes slightly nervous in your presence. it was t everyday he met someone equally talented and drop dead gorgeous. "i uh...liked your song. the first one."
"mmm, pretty sure you more than liked it." you tease him, laughing when he looks away from you. "im glad you enjoyed it. me and my friends just wanted to show more love to guys of our type."
"your type huh? and im guessing by how you kept looking at me id fit in to your criteria?" he asks you bluntly, feeling proud when he sees you slightly flustered.
"youd more than fit, trust me-" youre blatant innuendo is cut off by your manager tapping you on the shoulder, whispering in your ear that you should start wrapping things up.
a deep sigh leaves you, sharing just another little moment with him before moving back to your table, writing something on a note and giving it to him with a smile.
he doesnt have time to look at it until later on during the drive home, most of the kids having tuckered themselves out from talking about the show and falling asleep one by one. he carefully pulls the note out of his jacket pocket, holding it in one hand while he drives with the harder.
its your name and number, with just a sentence of writing below them.
call me whenever youd like, big boy.
and in that moment, hopper has never been more grateful for his daughter.
.

a/n: i dont have anything to say need him bad. bigger boys girls nd everyone in between we love yall. thanks for reading <3

Traitor
Part 1
Shuri x fem reader
Riri x fem reader
Warnings:Cussing,cheating,jealousy, angst, and anything else I forgot to mention.
Sorry if there are any spelling grammars I missed
Word count: bestie I was just writing
Reminder: this takes place after Wakanda forever.
Summary: you caught your fiancé, shuri cheating on you. You leave and meet new people.. what happens when you and your new boo run into shuri…
No Pov:
The the sun rising, whats once was night was now day, you were awoken by the sun beaming in your face only to be met with your fiancé, Shuri.
She was already up, looking at you.
“Love, you think you could fill in for me today?
“That’s weird” you say and lift your eyebrow
“Please”?!
“Okay, okay I’ll make breakfast and we can eat then I’ll take your place” you both smile and get out of bed going too do your morning routines.
You were technically a genius and smarter than all the lab assistant but always one step behind shuri, she was a genius in technology and you were a genius in STEM and programming put two and two together it’s like 10 times easier to get stuff done.
You both listened to the music that was played and cooked breakfast. You eventually got dressed and left for the morning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Griot: Princess y/n, okoye is here would you like to see her
Let her in griot!
“Good morning, my sister”
“Good Morning!”
“Where’s the queen” she asked
“She asked me to fill in for her today which was weird but I don’t mind”
Now you too had the best sister duo even though you weren’t related you both got close,she had your back just as much as you had hers.
“Hmm” was all she said before nodding and walking out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your Pov:
The day was pretty much done it was 11:46 when Griot let you know what time it was.
“Thank you griot” you took off your lab coat and headed towards the palace. Once you got to the palace you headed towards the queens quarters. As you got closer you heard muffled moans and grunts, you immediately ran in.
You make your way in not caring how loud your being and run upstairs almost breaking down yall bedroom door.
“WTF SHURI YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW??” Is all you could yell before walking too your closet and start packing whatever
You hear shuri hop off the bed and telling meena who didn’t want to leave, leave.
Usana- before she could finish you cut her off by pushing her out the way to grab your essentials “don’t call me that, is this why you wanted me to fill in for you, huh?”
I- babe, but-, shuri couldn’t process any words cause she knew how bad she messed up. She finally mustered up something to say.
“But it wasn’t anything, she wasn’t anything I promise, please just talk to me, listen, please!”
“No I’m not doing this shit with you, I’m not gonna let you persuade me with sex nor am I gonna let you crazy talk me, once I leave you could have all the side bitches you want I’m not gonna sit here and become one or let you fuck strangers for fun, then fuck me.”
It was a long silence in the room as you finished packing your things shuri was silent as she knew how bad she messed up.
The silence was broken,“Goodbye Shuri.”
Shuri’s Pov:
It now 11 o’clock I know Y/n should be on her way soon so I decided to chill. I was headed towards the couch until I heard a knock on the door, I opened it too see my friend Meena.
“Hey, what are you doing here?”
“So I can’t come over now?!” She chuckled before inviting herself in.
“Well come on in.. what’s up anyways?”
“Well I wanted to talk… I gonna give it too your straight I know you have a wife and stuff but I like you..” she took the chance to take a few more steps towards me as I could see some of her cleavage popping out of her jumpsuit sweater.
“Bet” was all I said before I picked her up and carried her to my room.I wasn’t thinking about Y/n in the moment.
I wasnt paying attention the the time before I heard Y/n’s voice “WTF SHURI YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW??” I hopped off the bed and told meena to go and I saw Y/n packing.
Usana-. She pushed me before I could say anything else, “Y/n please I promise it wasn’t anything I swear- please just let me talk.”
She was packing her essentials as I sat in silence realizing how bad I messed up “no I’m not doing this shit with you, just for it too go down the drain again, I’m not gonna let you fuck strangers and then come home and fuck me, you got that.”
I couldn’t say anything else, the only thing I could think of was losing my Y/n.
“Goodbye Shuri” was the last words I heard from her
~~~~~Time~~~skip~~~~~
Your Pov:
It’s been 7 months since the breakup with shuri. You had moved back to Chicago. She contacted you for four months straight, yes you were sad but hurt so you got a new phone, a new number, and laid off of social media for a while.
You eventually got yourself a nice house it had 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a marble kitchen and a spacious living room. You started adjusting too your new life, and taking care of yourself mentally and physically obviously you bestfriend Ace was there to help. He was your wingman fr.
~~~~~~~The~~~Mall~~~~~~~~~
It was Friday afternoon about 4:30pm you and ace was out shopping until this fine specimen approached you, she had a grey jumpsuit with a jean jacket.
“Y/n right?”
You look at the women with confusion but then your remember she worked with shuri when namor attacked and some unfortunate events happened.
“Riri?!”
“The one and only” she chuckles and holds out her arms for a hug, you quickly embrace her. Riri was like your first friend in wakanda she was only 2 years younger than you at the time but you both had lots in common but due too her leaving you had very little contact with her.
“What are you doing here.. where’s shuri?” She ask looking around for the the wakandan warriors
“Y/n I am so sorry I-” she grabs your hands in the process.
“Riri it’s okay, you didn’t know, I can tell you about it if you wanna join me and ace” you ask and she happily agrees.
You explain to Riri what happened in full details as you went into a few stores and was now walking too the food court. “Damn I’m sorry about that I didn’t think she would do that” Riri says “yeah me either but I’m over it now it’s still hurts but I’m okay”
“Shoot, I’m down” Riri says
“Duhhh” ace blurts out
“Alright let’s get going then” Riri decided to be a gentleman and take your bags she smiled at you and your face felt hot. You were falling in love but it felt right this time…

: ̗̀➛ Music, Dance - Ten ||
Tumblr media
''It hurts losing passion about something you loved''
Tumblr media
Pairing: Artist! Ten x fem! Reader
Plot: Ten, who loves to dance and paint, had to choose one option for his future and his heart went for art so now he owns an art workshop. On the other hand, his passion for dancing slowly started to disappear until y/n appeared.
Genre: Fluff, romance, fiction, slice of life.
Contains: Cuss words, mention of sex
Wc 1k>
A/n: Thanks for supporting me guys, this is really wholesome TT (ngl these fics always become short even tho I planned them to be long)
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
꘎♡━━━━━♡꘎
(Third person pov)
6 years have passed since Ten chose an art degree over dancing, both were important for him but making that decision was probably one of the toughest moments for him.
After graduating he opened his own art workshop to make a living, it got popular after few weeks because of the activities you could do there. And of course he was more than satisfied knowing all his hard work paid off.
But there is still one more thing. What about dancing? Did he really spend all his life practising dancing just to do nothing about it? And like every normal person would, he lost his passion for dancing.
Ten had no time for it, he was busy with the shop, painting works, and most annoying, dealing with his girlfriend.
Jinna was her girlfriend, they met in university, but after graduating she didn’t pay any attention to Ten at all. Instead, partying outside and drinking was all she could do since her parents were rich, every time she got drunk she would call Ten to come and pick her up just for them to later have emotionless sex.
Ten really wanted her to change but he couldn’t say it straight up, he just kept it for himself and wishing for the non existent thing to happen. But there was something inside him telling him that loosing her would be very painful.
Today a special customer was coming, y/n, a known choreographer. When the time came Ten greeted her and made her sit in the chair, “So how does this work?” She smiled sincerely, “I’m not used to this stuff”, Ten could see the innocence and made her feel comfortable while explaining how it works.
“And you just do it like that, you can express yourself by the painting” After that Ten left when he recieved a message from Jinna.
hey babeee
im sorry if you are still angryyy
I told you i was drunk and it wasnt my intention to fuck him
I was really drunk babeee pls dont be angry
But Ten just ignored it and got back to work, his mind was very messy, and could not process how his girlfriend cheated on him. I mean he could have predicted it but he was still annoyed by the fact that Ten still didn't wanna break up with Jinna.
An hour later Ten got up and went to check on y/n who was almost finished with it. It was a painting of someone in a dance room dancing in front of the mirror, which made Ten feel overwhelmed and brought up some of his memories.
“It is really beautiful” Y/n looked back at Ten and gave him a warm smile. “thank you, I really appreciate it”. Those words made Ten a beat in his heart. ''I was very interested in dancing back then'' He laughed off.
''Really? Why don't you do it now?'' He felt kinda sad after y/n asked that, it was really noticeable. ''Oh, sorry I didn't mean to'' ''No, don't worry, I just grew up and find arts more enjoyable'' It was Ten's first time speaking about dancing after a really really long time. He couldn't remember when was the last time he talked about it.
They both spent their time talking about it, Ten felt like his heart was blooming and felt a strange feeling; as if his younger self was with him. ''Do you wanna come with me after your shift to dance?''
Ten saw it as an opportunity to relieve stress and make himself feel happy after a while. When he closed the shop he went to the dance studio y/n told him to go, it was his first time in such a professional room for dancing. The room was incredibly big, maybe twice the size of the dancing room he used to go to before.
His heart was beating rapidly because of the excitement. ''do you wanna go straight or slowly?'' She giggled while covering her mouth with her hand, ''Let's start slowly, I haven't done this in a very long time'' He laughed off.
''So do you have any favorite danceable song?'', while thinking it hit him that he's never got to think about music too. Suddenly Ten remembered his sister saying ''I love Music, Dance by NCT, you don't know? What a loser'' It was like a week ago, she's been into that boy group lately.
''Um, do you know Music, Dance by NCT?'' y/n seemed surprised, ''Yeaa of course, I did some choreographies for them, then we can start stretching'' Ten felt as his youth started taking over. Was dancing for him always that exciting? While also enjoying the music, moving his body freely was refreshing it was like how snakes shed their skin, except he was shedding his lost passion into something new.
After 2 hours of dancing, they both created a choreography for the chorus of the song, Ten was so proud of himself and deeply appreciate the hard work of y/n too. You two decided to go outside and breath some fresh air.
The aura between you and Ten was very cozy, ''want to do it again?'' Ten shook his head ''I mean I would do it any time you want'' he laughed off. That's when he saw Jinna and a guy holding hands, Ten rubbed his eyes with his hand to check if it really was her, he couldn't believe it.
Then you also catch the couple Ten was seeing, ''What the fuck is she doing'' You understood what was happening at the moment quickly, and he walked to stop her holding hands with the guy.
''Excuse who are you'' The guy who was with Jinna said, ''She's my fucking girlfriend?'' And the guy backed ''Jinna you told me you were single what the fuck'' Then he stormed off seeing annoyed, ''What do you think you are doing, we were over'' Ten looked confused as soon as she said that.
''I've never told you we were over'' She just removed Ten's hands and walked off screaming ''Now we are over dumbass''. He stood there and tears started to fall down his cheek, realizing you should do something you went there and hugged him.
Surprisingly he didn’t reject that hug, but he did cry loudly, you cleared his tears with your hand “Ten you can cry don’t worry, everyone deserves a second chance, so you do” You didn’t know if that helped him more of made him worse “I just don’t know myself anymore, Im lost”
To be honest, you didn’t know how to handle that situation instead you just said “Ten, If something happens Im here, okay?”
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading y’all <3 And you could follow because big things are coming (I already said that like a 100 times lmao)

THE JESTER
Tumblr media
In Bossswap Papyrus takes Mettaton's role as the star of the underground, but he is in fact a Jester.
"At first his life was great for Papyrus- perfect anyone would say. It had been a while ever since he gave up on the joining-the-royal-guard life dream, but he still had a second shot. Scrolling throught the undernet one day, he found a job interview- to be on TV!! Constantly!
Of course, he texted the company and the next week the interview came. The place was placed on hotlands, and since Sans had a hotdog stand nearby, he went with him and walked him there.
But Papyrus wasnt paying attention to his surroundings and forgot how dangerous the Hotlands can be, and while walking around fell into what seemed to be a broken old puzzle that got activated by his fall- More than a puzzle it looked like a death trap. Papyrus's bones got mangled and broken and as fast as he could, Sans pulled him up and ran to the royal lab to Undyne.
Once Undyne saw his state she wanted to scream and freak out but every second counted and he could die of she didn't react. She put him in a medway bed and started healing him but his legs and arms seemed to be broken beyond repair, nothing could repair them, so Undyne had to take the decision for Papyrus and cut them off to save his life, and surprisigly, he lived.
Once Papyrus woke up, he started freaking out and after getting an explaination by Undyne, he went quiet. He wasnt the same for a while, he felt useless and pityful. He didn't get the job, his brother wasnt anywhere around and when he was he couldnt look at him straight in the eyes, and out of a stupid mistake he had become useless.
Undyne, feeling guilty and sad for the current state of her best friend, built him prosthetics that could scretch very far, but despite that, Papyrus still had to get used to it and learn to walk again. Which is where Undyne's second idea came to place: a control remote controlled robot.
Undyne presented what she called MTP to Papyrus and, surprisingly, he was ecstatic! He didn't have to learn how to walk to use that, he could do stuff while being unable to get out of bed.
And the first thing he did was go to that job interview, and surprisingly, getting the job!
After a short time, everybody knew the new face of the TV, MTP! The Idol! The Jester! The singer! The actor!...But once Papyrus recovered and could walk and grab stuff again, he didn't have the heart to take that persona that everyone loved just like that. He wanted it to count, to be memorable, to be special! But for that something exciting enought had to happen ...."

story time when i was in the first grade my mom's husband's alcoholic mom gave me a pair of binoculars as a present, like legit nice ones, and living in rural dry-red-dirt georgia i was very pleased because it meant i could go outside and eye spy for shit far away, like animals, namely birds, and see things i might not normally
what i didn't really know is that they were for long distances, not to really be used like a microscope, so for a few days, when i wasnt at school, my time was spent alternating between examining the veins (like mine) on leaves and looking straight up into trees for signs of birds or squirrels to watch
i wasnt finding anything of real interest and the novelty of the thing was starting to wear off for me so i started seeking better things to look at. id just start walking with them held up over my eyes, hoping that by chance i'd see something, convinced the binocs were still really cool and i just wasnt finding anything good
so im like. wandering the dirt road cul-de-sac and surrounding area and end up going off into the woods. ive got big boots on and everything starts getting really squelchy and im having a awful time trying to walk but im not paying attention. because the binoculars are over my eyes. so all im seeing is bark from trees. and when i finally look i realize ive walked into some kind of swamp.
my boots are getting superstuck in the mud that is up to my knees now and coming off my feet, my socks are getting muddy from losing my balance trying to get my boots back on, so i decide i need to cap up the lenses on the binoculars to let them hang around my neck so i can get the fuck back home and i end up dropping one of the lenses in the mud where it sinks away to hell and it's lost forever
so im pretty incensed now and aggravated and hot and there's a ton of humidity in this place and mosquitoes (which at this point ive grown nearly impervious to out of being so used to them, to me they weren't as bad as gnats for some reason. those annoyed me nearly to death) and i just wanted to go back home so after a great deal of fighting i managed to get out of the deep mud, into shallower mud, and finally onto solid pine needle earth. then i ran home
now being like 7 i had no sense of time, it felt equally like a long time and no time at all to me. and under the canopy of trees it was very dark. but back in the open world it was almost nighttime and i was very definitely supposed to be home. and when i got back to our brown trailer my mom was sitting on the steps smoking and waiting for me and very much wanted to know where i had been, she had been looking around for me and was about to go look again, et c.
when i told her i found a swamp (probably evident from the way my boots and legs were covered in black mud. and my hands and arms up to the shoulder. and my binoculars) she was quietly mortified and without reacting very strongly, i think to minimize my fear of what i just unknowingly had wandered around in, she informed me that the swamp was dangerous and very heavily infested with my most feared thing, snakes, specifically cottonmouth water moccasins
so needless to say i did not go back there and i got very angry with the binoculars for leading me astray and that is my story

so the context is that like when i was like 14..me & my at the time best friend became just like. obsessed with the diary of a wimpy kid movies. and im dead serious we were obsessed with them. we watched them all the time and talked about them for hours. like im straight up we loved these movies. my only possible defense for what was up with me is that i was really anorexic haha so i was really weird in the head. but anyways, obviously mostly people only talk about those movies because they like rodrick and well looks around yeah. but also ☝️ we were retired glee kids. my friend had previously been the biggest fan of the warblers from glee (who altogether have maybe 8 minutes of screentime) and we were retired newsies fans. we were really cringey fandom kids still & we were really really good at loving total nothing background characters. so !
if you pay attention. in the first movie rodricks band consists of 1 redhead kid on guitar, some emo kid, and some other random guy. in rodrick rules/dog days, his band is two guys named ben and chris (plus bill in rodrick rules and some random kid they found for dog days). chris doesnt have any lines i dont think but he is there a lot in rodrick rules. i dont have any evidence but im like 79% sure he was definitely high during the filming. and if he wasnt hes really good at acting it. ben does have lines though :-) in rodrick rules he and rodrick drive rowley and greg home and discuss what song theyre going to perform at the talent show and he says "dude we'll get to go backstage" at the party scene.
um. anyways yeah. we made them into what was pretty much our own characters and gave them a whole story which is so long and. in all honesty i just forgot so much of i make shit up all the time for it when i do stuff with it now. but its silly and long and to sum it up -> ben works at office max in a mall (i dont think they have office max in malls) and rodrick keeps coming in to print/copy band posters. one night he breaks the machine so he and ben talk and rodrick asks him to join his band. he says yes, so ben and chris join the band which is rodrick and matt (emo kid from the first movie, who guess what doesnt say a single thing. he just stands there and claps at the sorry women scene) also the big joke with matt was that he works at chuck e cheese and hes the guy who wears the mouse costume and ben rodrick and chris all keep going there and pissing him off and eventually he gets mad and yells at them and thats how they all meet. i think thats what we created him for basically. ben is rhythm guitar/vocals, chris is bass, rodrick is drums, and matt is lead guitar. they break up at the end of highschool and reunite after dropping out of college and get world famous haha. just think like really annoying music kids in like 2007 who actually have a successful band...(their song is rodrick rules is good...i promise go look it up).
but ya. its unfortunately such a personal story to me atp that i cant let it go even though im not even friends with that person anymore. and also i dont really care. its funny & i draw them so much now and also. rodrick rules is such a good fucking movie. i dont care its definitely in my top ten favorites im deadass. whatevs.
other noteable things from this is kitty. whos my oc completely but shes chris' girlfriend and we made her up because the whole joke was she pegged him to paramore. hides my face this is just who we were at the time. but i draw her more with my own ocs than i do with chris her boyfriend who is the only reason she exists. i think thats all. im sorry this is so long but ive never actually explained the whole thing. theres so much more but i literally wont stop if i start. go thru the doawk tag on my blog 4 further explanation or ask me...i love talking about them please please.... bonus drawing of them i just did for this👍

Once kevin was so busy with work for 2 weeks straight that the only time he spent at home was devoted to showering and sleeping pretty much
Cottoncandy wasnt getting her quota of attention from him so one day she just kept yelling at him until he picked her up
And she just kept nuzzling him and tickling his neck
At anytime he tried to put her down. She would yell at him again
Awwwwwwww
Kevin's on a super tight work schedule, being promised days off in exchange for working himself to the bone. However, this type of schedule leaves no time for Cotton Candy time
And well, kitty is pissed
Ofc when the time finally comes that he can have time to pay attention to her anger, he scoops her up, and, in an act of protest against the lack of attention from before, she launches a relentless nuzzle attack, and the poor guy is helpless. And ofc, like you said, if he tries just putting her down she gets angry and yells again, so he's stuck holding her until he sits down, and all he can do is let her nuzzle and tickle him until she thinks he's done
