Okay, so I finally got around to watching Fall of the House of Usher, and I have so many thoughts. I especially loved all the cool ways that the deaths of the siblings play into their individual characters, and I may or may not eventually do an analysis for each of them. But for right now I want to talk about one of my favorite stories and deaths in the show, Leo's.

So with Leo, everything with the cats is symbolic of his own sins plaguing him. Specifically, like many of the Ushers, Leo expects to get what he wants without bearing any responsibility for his actions, and this is exemplified by his relationship with Jules. He clearly wants to be in a relationship with Jules, and I think he does get more out of it that just sexual pleasure. However, he only cares what HE can get from the relationship, and doesn't consider his partner's desires and feelings. Leo regularly cheats on Jules, a betrayal he knows would hurt Jules but he simply does not care as long as he gets away with it. He values drugs more than he does his partner, and ignores or shuts down any discomfort or concern Jules has with his drug abuse. He won't even properly acknowledge Jules as his partner by bringing him around to meet the family, an action that would give more seriousness to their relationship and perhaps raise the expectations for how Leo should behave.

Leo's hallucination of killing Pluto is a subconscious manifestation of his failures as a boyfriend. It parallels his infidelity: he does something horrible that would break Jules' heart (fittingly as a result of drugs), and instead of feeling remorse for what he has done, he is more preoccupied with how to avoid getting caught. Except now it's no longer a girl that he can hide out on a balcony, but an irreplaceable beloved pet. Despite this severity of the situation, Leo persists in trying to hide his sins, to prioritize his own comfort and desires over honesty and trust.

So Leo goes to the pet store to find a replacement cat, and Verna is waiting for him. And this is where his test comes in, the chance to change his fate that Verna gives all the siblings. Option 1 is to leave with another cat who needs a home, and resign himself to the consequences of his crime. Had he done that, he certainly would have found that Pluto was actually unharmed, which may perhaps (although I could be excessively optimistic here) have even served as a wake up call that the drugs are becoming a problem. He would've died regardless, but he could've died peacefully and somewhat redeemed, instead of traumatizing himself and his boyfriend. Option 2 is to take the easy way out, the way that avoids all responsibility, and use his wealth and power to get the perfect replacement kitty Verna tempts him with. Leo of course, chooses the second option.

In fitting irony, Leo's attempts to avoid consequence straps him with the biggest consequence of all. The cat is seemingly out to get him, hissing and scratching as if she's directly punishing him for his choices. Interestingly, the cat herself also seems to mirror Leo. Leo satisfies himself with drugs and women, bringing them into the home he shares with Jules with no concern for Jules' feelings; the cat satisfies herself by killing small animals, bringing their corpses to the apartment with no concern for Leo's discomfort. Considering the animals as a symbol of Leo's infidelity, it's fitting that the first one is found in their bed as Jules is performing oral sex on Leo and that the discovery of it results in them being interrupted and Jules being hurt. The cat also explicitly stares down Leo in this scene, as if in judgement for him enjoying his boyfriend while he himself is unfaithful and gives nothing in return. Verna later herself explicitly draws a connection between cats and Roderick Usher, saying that they both destroy to fulfill a deficiency in themselves. The same could be said for any of the Usher children however, Leo included.

Of course, being tormented by a manifestation of his sins (combined with the drugs) begins to drive Leo insane. We see further parallels between the cat and Leo, as both suffer eye injuries at the hands of the other. Leo eventually tries to kill the cat with a hammer, which is naturally as fruitless an endeavor as taking a hammer to the abstract idea of personal failure. All he manages to destroy in his rampage is the home he shares with Jules— yes, the cat is a literal homewrecker.

I don't think Verna's choice in which cat to bring home was actually Leo's point of no return, but simply the last moment that she herself will try to intervene and convince him down another path. Even without Verna talking him down, Leo has two moments of near clarity during his rampage, both of which center around Jules. One is early on in his delusions, when he realizes that what he's seeing is crazy and muses that maybe Jules was right about the drugs. The second is when Jules comes home, and Leo realizes first that Jules cannot see the woman and cat in the wall and then that there is no woman and cat in the wall at all. In both these moments, Jules could serve as a lifeline to Leo, but to take hold of that lifeline Leo would need to put aside himself and his obsession, to ignore the cat taunting him and instead put his focus on his boyfriend. Admit that Jules was right about the drugs, admit that Jules can see more clearly than him. But Leo cannot do this. He sees the cat on the balcony, and all thoughts of Jules are wiped from his mind. He HAS to get the cat, he HAS destroy the symbol of his sins so he can continue to live free of consequence. And that final decision, that refusal to listen to Jules and put aside his immediate selfish impulses, dooms him. He flings himself right off the building, not only killing himself but emotionally destroying his boyfriend, as he was always going to do.

Hello! If possible, could I request the Obey Me brothers + dateables and their reactions to an MC with dyscalculia? If not, it's totally fine!! I hope you've an awesome week <3 !!

obey me brothers + an mc with dyscalculia (pt. 1)

in order to get shit out in even a remotely timely manner, i've decided to now and in the future start splitting asks into two individual posts based on character group (brothers vs dateables/side characters). it was between that and shortening the posts and since i'd rather bite my own fingers off than put out content i'm not proud of, this is my solution! so let's call this part 1 to this ask. also sorry it takes me obscenely long to post i am a mess

content warnings: none

"Dyscalculia is a learning disorder that affects a person's ability to do math. Much like dyslexia disrupts areas of the brain related to reading, dyscalculia affects brain areas that handle math- and number-related skills and understanding." - Cleveland Clinic

Lucifer

lucifer is such a dad about this, like i cannot express this enough.

he knows you have dyscalculia before you even arrive in the devildom. he sees it on your paperwork before they pull you from the human realm, so he's already preparing the best strategies to assist you. he will, however, wait until you say something about it to make that information known.

he will make you bring your math homework to his office every night so he can check it. that is not optional. he doesn't care how much you hate it, because at the end of the day you need to pass. tough love, in a sense.

but, on that same note-- he's not actually mean about correcting your work. it's very odd. you'd expect big, bad, "i'll string mammon up from the ceiling on any given day" ass lucifer would be a brutal teacher, but he's really not. he knows that you brain simply does not work the same way as others, so he's extra particular about his explanations. he doesn't ever call you out in a way that makes you feel stupid. this proud demon never wants to make you embarrassed over something you can't control.

ideally, you'll come around on doing homework in his office every night. he thinks this is the perfect choice for both of you. his office is quiet and warm, with the soothing sounds of a crackling fire comforting you as you work. he can make sure any distractions (aka, his brothers) are completely out of sight until you're finished for the night. he'll also be right there in case you need any help-- he'll drop whatever he's doing and help until you're sure you've got the problem down.

lucifer is protective of this time together. it's the one time where he's certain he can do more for you than the rest of his brothers, and he's determined to prove you won't ever need to turn to them for help.

if you get overwhelmed with your homework, he's easy on you for the rest of the night. lucifer knows when to call it quits-- he'll slide your homework away across the desk and set a reassuring hand on your back. he doesn't speak as you get all your frustrations out, whether they be tears or anger. it's easy to forget that lucifer is actually an older brother. but in moments like these, full of quiet comfort as he carefully works you down from the ledge, you think maybe he's not so intimidating after all.

Mammon

oh, you're not good with math? join the club, bestie.

mammon takes an embarrassing amount of time to realize that you've got dyscalculia. like, a near impossible amount of time. you're not hiding this information from him. he's seen lucifer help you with your math homework, heard you talk about special accommodations for tests, hell, you've even said it aloud! this man would lose a spelling bee to a box of bricks.

you eventually ask him if he knows what dyscalculia is. he tries to play it off like he knows, but of course, he's not a great actor. you let him flounder for a little bit before choosing mercy and explaining the concept to him. it takes him a bit to understand that it's an actual learning disorder and you're not just making shit up to explain why you suck at math.

mammon prefers when you do homework together. in his head, he justifies this by saying he'll be close by when if you need his help. in reality, he'd probably do more harm than good to your grade. he spends most nights trying to coax you into working on homework in his room. at the very least, he'll be able to spend some alone time with you

reality is often disappointing. you do actually spend most nights doing your math homework together... at the kitchen table, while lucifer sits between you two and makes sure you get your work done in a timely manner. no talking, mammon, or he'll hang you from the stairwell by your ankles.

don't ask him for help. just... don't. you'll honestly do worse than if you had just tried yourself.

if you get overwhelmed trying to do your work with dyscalculia, mammon is right there by your side. you won't be doing anymore work tonight, that's for sure. he'll pull you into his arms, red-faced and sheepish, as he soothes your frustrations with gentle, murmured affirmations. you are so much more than this math shit, alright? don't forget it.

Leviathan

levithan simply won't pick up on something as subtle as your difficulty with numbers. even if he notices it, he'd never say anything. what if he's wrong? what if you feel bad about it? what if he offers to help you with that math homework you're struggling with three feet in front of him and you hate him for it? oh god, maybe he should mind his own business. what if he's making all these assumptions about you-- assumptions that you'd hate him for? he can't handle if you-- oh, what? you want to talk about it with him? haha, no worries. totally chill. levi's nothing if not totally chill.

you have to tell levi about your dyscalculia if you ever want him to know, or at least tell one of his more loose-lipped brothers. he's willing to talk about it if you are. but no matter how close you are, he would never bring it up first.

he's got passable grades. he'd probably do better if he applied himself, but honestly, he's far too interested in throwing himself into another anime or video game to dedicate much brain space to school. if you want to do homework with him, he'll probably opt to play a game on some handheld next to you to keep you company. he's extra considerate to keep his headphones on and stay quiet for you. he's just honored you want to spend time with him like this.

you want levi to help you with homework? are you sure? you don't want one of his smarter brothers, like satan or belphie or-- you're sure you want him? he's not convinced he's stellar at tutoring or anything, but he'll try. he brings out his own (rushed) homework and explains his thought process to you... funnily enough, helping you points out the flaws in how own work, which he can now fix before turning it in. helping you has quiet literally raised his grades in the long run.

if you get overwhelmed, levi is quick to panic. please don't cry. his best solution is to distract you. wanna watch him beat this level? wanna start an anime together to take your mind off of it? you guys end up wasting the rest of the night recreating the HoL and demon brothers in the devildom equivalent of the sims. so much for raising your grades together... lucifer is not happy hearing how easily both of you got distracted (but lets it slide when he realizes it was math homework you skipped).

Satan

satan is an observant fellow. he probably knows within your first month at RAD that you've got an issue with numbers. he might not know the exact diagnosis, but he can tell you're not nearly as confident with math as you are in other subjects. he notices you're more dodgy about anything to do with numbers. he had not intention to bother you about it, of course, but he'll watch with a bit of curiosity as you encounter these sort of situations-- he doesn't understand you, after all, and he wants to know why.

by the time you guys are on friendly terms, he'll offer to help you with any homework you might struggle with. satan gives no indication that he knows you're not the most confident in math. while he hates lucifer, satan still knows the value of pride and dignity in these situations. he waits until you approach him one night for help-- bashful, a little ashamed, all interesting emotions for him to witness up close-- and carefully guides you through the work. that's when he sees it. you have an odd way of interacting with numbers. there he notices little mess ups when counting, longer pauses mid-equation, how quiet you are as he helps you out... interesting. guess he'll have to keep assisting you for now.

when you do eventually tell him, he... i mean he basically flat out tells you he knew from the moment he watched you solve a math problem. hopefully that explanation doesn't upset you. it's just facts. one time you had to pay for something at a festival stall in cash... watching you try to calculate the combination of coins and bills you should hand over was painful.

he doesn't really mind accommodating your dyscalculia. you, at least, aren't just a dumbass with no explanation (like mammon, he's talking about mammon). satan will usually ask if you want his help before stepping in, out of courtesy, but usually prefers to handle number-related tasks himself. it just goes faster.

if you get overwhelmed with your homework, you'll see satan get really confused. he didn't think it was something that could upset you in that way. he'd sooner expect you to get pissed off and storm out, y'know? that he can relate to. he'll follow your lead on this one. what would make you feel better? if you want to power through, he'll do his best to explain everything as simply as possible. if not, he'll do something with you to take your mind off of everything.

Asmodeus

it's easy to write asmodeus off as some sort of surface-level ditz, but that's truly a disservice to the bubbly demon. he's still one of the most powerful demons in the whole realm, after all. but he's always been good at picking up those small details-- your dyscalculia is something that stumps him for awhile, but eventually, he figures out something is up.

the main problem is shopping. he'll often drag you along with him to majolish, either as a pack mule to carry his things or as a lovely little doll to try on every outfit combo his pretty little head can put together. the real issue came about as he tried to get your help calculating a running total for the items in his arms. see, asmo is quite good with numbers (new headcanon alert? honestly i'm into it i now declare asmo's a secret lil math whiz). so as he's adding up the prices, he'll shout numbers at you from another changing room and ask you for help. what's $74.36 + 189.20? quickly! oh, too late, he's got it. will you remember $263.56? now say that back to him?

when you inevitably stumble through every single number-related task, even just counting certain things in the bag, asmodeus realizes that maybe you're just not that good with numbers. not in the way that mammon is, that's just general stupidity (so mean!), but in a way unlike you are with anything else. eventually he'll stop handing off number-related tasks to you and take a couple extra seconds to do it anyways.

asmo would help you with homework, but that requires doing his own homework, you see. and considering the fact that his nails are wet AND the devildom culture reading sounds boring as hell... he doesn't have any plans to do it. in fact, he'll calculate just what assignments he can skip while still passing. if he's not going to do his homework, he'll at least keep you company while you do yours! expect quite humming as he scrolls through social media next to you.

on the rare occasion that he does in fact do his work, asmo is more than willing to help you with your math homework! he does, however, have a system. first of all, you guys are studying in his room with the door closed. not to hide anything from the others-- unless you'd like to take advantage of the closed door?-- but to keep his brothers from interrupting you. then the two of you will spread out on his floor or his bed and get to work. if you help him with devildom history, he'll gladly help you with math!

if you get overwhelmed by your math homework, asmodeus is quick to ditch school work for the rest of the evening. honestly he didn't want to do it either! he's almost excited to be there by your side and comforting you-- in part because it's him you're asking for comfort and not his brothers, and in part because he gets the chance to charm you with one of his greatest strengths: hospitality! expect an evening of pampering with no expectation of reciprocation. he enjoys running you a bath (won't even joke about joining you... this time), doing your skincare, painting your nails... it's your call. he just can't wait to take your mind off of the stress and remind you just how wonderful you are.

Beelzebub

beelzebub doesn't even come close to finding out about your dyscalculia until you tell him. he thinks watching people work is a little rude, and he's usually too busy snacking, or thinking about snacking, or planning his next food order, or-- you get the picture. and even if he did notice you struggling, he'd kindly turn the other cheek to give you privacy. he might mention something to belphie later, considering how smart his twin is and all, but it's always out of a place of genuine concern and care for you. beel is trusts you to respect your own limits and, if you want him to know about your struggles, to approach him when you're ready.

beel is the type to have a structured homework routine. he just gets too distracted when left to his own devices! his stomach can lead him to the wildest of places. beel goes to the same spot in his room every night with a mountain of snacks and gets to work. belphie is usually somewhere in the room to "supervise", mainly acting to keep his twin on task when his brain goes into overdrive. no beel, you didn't miss fangol practice. it was cancelled tonight because of the weather. is lucifer making dinner toni-- i don't know who's on dinner duty. no, don't go check. beel.

if you're joining him to actually do your work, belphie is thankful. you essentially take over his job of "beel wrangler" and allow him to sleep peacefully nearby. if you're there to be a distraction, it's only a matter of time until you're either wrangled yourself (much to belphie's irritation) or shooed out of the room until beel finishes his work.

tutoring from beel is really collaborative. you tackle each question together, one at a time, until the assignment is complete. he wants to hear how your brain processes the question-- learning difficulty and all-- then he'll share his thoughts. somewhere in there the two of you will usually find the right answer. if not, belphie's always willing to try to help the two of you.

if you get overwhelmed with your math homework, beel is quick to comfort you. what can he do to help? he's got some snacks if that would take your mind off of things. actually, these are new ones from the convenience store across town. in a couple of minutes, you're playing a devildom version (and surprisingly tamer, considering this is supposed to be hell and all) version of beanboozled. beel never guesses a flavor incorrectly. eventually you and belphie are just feeding a blindfolded beel jellybeans and watching him guess each and every flavor correctly. at least you're not struggling with your work anymore!

Belphegor

belphie, after sitting in his assigned seat next to you for exactly one (1) math class, asks if you've always struggle with numbers. blunt but to the point, i guess? he doesn't mean to be offensive or anything, but he's not going to sugarcoat it, either. he noticed you were struggling keeping up with the notes. you're welcome to borrow his if you need to.

(i feel the need to note here that belphie's notetaking is ass. he's on the verge of passing out each class period, so all of his work is slanted heavily and mostly undecipherable. it's a shame, really, because he's got good handwriting when he's awake).

he's found most often in his room or the attic curled up among the blankets. because they assume he's asleep, wherever belphie is tends to be a good study spot. sometimes he'll beckon you to join him on the bed as he tries to distract you encourages you to pace yourself. other times he's fast asleep with the lights on, leaving you to your studies on the floor or at a nearby desk/table.

if you specifically request his tutoring, he'll make time for you. sure, he'll probably be half asleep and will appear in your room to help at an odd hour between naps, but he'll be sure to come. the problem is that his "tutoring" is mostly him just telling you the answers. if you're cool with this, great! if not, he's a bit less helpful. it's best to just use him as one would the answers section at the back of the textbook to check if you found the right result and, if not, as a resource to work backwards and find your mistake.

if you get overwhelmed with your math work while doing homework in belphegor's room, he immediately suggests a break to help calm you back down. unfortunately, this is the avatar of sloth we're discussing-- any break he suggests will most definitely turn into a distraction that stops any and all progress for the rest of the night. honestly? sometimes that's what you need. sometimes you know you're going to stress beyond the point of improvement, and those nights need to be stopped before you crash. his first suggestion will always be to curl up together to take a nap. if you're interested, you should be aware that the "nap" will not end until the next morning. if you decide to be responsible and veto that plan, then you will probably both curl up to watch a movie-- your pick-- and spend the rest of the night far, far away from any math homework that'll stress you out further.

I'm Always Here - Part 3

Warnings: hospital, passing out, pregnancy, drinking (of age), hints of sex, language, medical talk, bleeding, talk of death of baby,

Word Count: 1531

1 month later

You were in the hospital. Three months ago you passed out in your bedroom. After 3 minutes of you not waking up Travis called 911. Once at the hospital, you guys found out that you were pregnant. You got nervous. Honestly you didn’t know if it was Travis’ or Sam’s.

2 months ago

You saw Travis at the bar. Your mom had convinced you to go to a party and now here you were. You were already very drunk.

Your mom was watching Avery, so you wouldn’t have to worry about getting home to her until the following morning.

You got up heading to the bathroom and saw Travis get up, out of the corner of your eye. You walked to the bathroom and then was pushed up against the wall.

“Hi.”

“Hello pretty girl.”

You couldn’t remember much of the night. But you did remember waking up the next morning, naked in Travis’ bed.

You were still shocked today. The doctor was nervous about your blood pressure and wanted to keep you in the hospital until they could keep it under control for more than 24 hours. Which had yet to happen.

Travis walked in with at least five bags in his hands. You looked over and saw him walking in.

“What is all of that?”

“Options.”

“Of?”

“Everything. I thought I would go shopping and buy some self care items for you.”

“Travis, that bag says Louis Vuitton.”

“I may have also bought a lot of other things too. It’s all for you. Actually, I lied. I bought some things for Avery too.”

You laughed, smiling and moved over on the bed for him.

“So this all is from Ulta. I got your favorite makeup and skin care. And I got you new shampoo since you said you were out. I got you a new Louis Vuitton purse. I call it the mom purse. But I also got Avery a backpack.”

“They gave me a due date and they’re gonna run a paternity test.” You said.

“Oh.”

“You said that in a bad way.”

He grabbed your hand, “no, it’s just I want it to be mine.”

“I want it to be yours too. But what if it isn’t?”

“I’ll love it like my own. Always will. Does the due date match with our timeline?”

“Yeah, but I was with Sam the night before too. I’m so scared Travis. I haven’t even told him I’m pregnant yet.”

The nurse walked in.

“We’re gonna do the test now so we’re gonna need a sample from Mr. Kelce.” The nurse says.

“Ok.”

Travis nodded and went downstairs to give them his blood sample.

You waited a couple minutes before he came back into your room.

“Can we facetime Avery?”

Avery had been staying with Travis’s mom while you were in the hospital. Travis occasionally was with her, but with practice and wanting to stay with you as much as possible, it had to choose.

“Hey Travis.” His mom answered smiling.

“Hey.” You smiled, “how is Avery?”

“She’s good. She really misses you guys.”

You bursted into tears. Travis rubbed your arm. Seconds later you saw Avery appear she was eating cookies.

“Hi mama,” Avery said.

“Hi baby girl. How are you?”

“I good, mama. I love Gamma Donna.”

“I bet you do. I miss you baby. I love you.”

“We love you baby. Be good for Grandma Donna,” Travis says.

“I will.”

The doctor knocked on the door and they hung up on FaceTime.

“Dr. Stevens, right?” Travis asked.

“Yes.” He said, “how’s everything going today?”

“I’m okay. Can we just get to it?” you said, not wanting to make small talk.

“The test results.” He pulled them up on the iPad.

“Yes, the fucking test results. What else?” you snapped.

“They match.”

“So Travis is the father?” you asked.

“Travis is the father.”

You started to cry. Travis pulled you in for a hug.

“Oh thank the fucking lord,” Travis says.

He kissed the top of your head. You kissed him and it was a long passionate kiss. He loved it.

“I have some other news as well,” Dr. Stevens said.

“Ms. Y/L/N—“

“What is it?”

“You can officially go home. Your blood pressure has been stable since yesterday morning. Meaning we hit our 24 hour mark.”

Two hours later

Travis was helping you into the car. You were happy to be heading to Donna’s for a bit. Travis was going to be staying there with you as well.

You reached Donna’s house, when you felt all your emotions be released. You started to tear up.

“Honey what’s wrong?” Travis asked, looking confused and scared.

“I’m just so glad we are going home. I missed Avery so bad, and our bed, and not being bothered 24/7.”

He chuckled, nodding, “Yeah mom won’t bother you she’ll check in on you every once in a while.”

“Yeah I missed her too, especially her cooking.”

“Me too. Let’s go get out girl though. I missed her hugs.”

Travis helped you out of the car and up to the front door.

You both walked in and he got you settled into the guest room. Avery by your side. Travis went into the kitchen.

“Hey, I didn’t even herer you guys come in,” Donna said, walking over to hug Travis.

“Sorry mom, she’s settled into the guest room with Avery. We’re having another baby.”

“Oh that’s good.”

“Yeah, but anyway. I’m gonna grab some food and go get settled.’

“Oh, I made dinner. I’ll heat it up and bring it to you guys,” Donna said.

“Thanks mom, I’m gonna help her shower and see if Avery wants any dinner. I’ll see you in a bit, okay?” Travis says to his mom.

Travis goes upstairs and walks into the bathroom. He begins getting it ready for her shower. He puts her towel in the towel warmer.

“Daddy, can I watch tv?” Avery asked.

“Yeah that’s fine baby girl.”

You turn the tv on a Disney movie and Avery becomes engrossed.

“Come on baby,” Travis whispers in your ear.

He helped you into the bathroom and into the shower. The hot water soothes your skin and muscles. Travis helped you finish washing up and drying off.

You get back in bed and eat dinner. You finally get relaxed as you snuggle up next to Travis. You love this man.

“I love you, Travis.”

“I love you too?”

“I just wanted to tell you. I don’t think I could ever find anyone else like you.”

“Well good, because you are stuck with me no matter what.”

“Geez that’s harsh. I could always run away and marry Jason.” You laughed at his facial expression, “ I mean he's got a great beard.”

“Yeah, I don’t think Kylie would let that happen.”

“You can’t see all three of us being in a relationship?” you laughed.

“Oh my god your nuts.”

“You’re finally realizing this?”

“Nah, I’ve known since day one.”

The Next Day

You woke up to the sun shining through the curtains. You rolled over to find Travis’ side of the bed empty. You felt a wetness under your legs. You moved the comforter to find a blood stain.

“Donna!” You shout as panic runs down your body.

She comes running in with Kylie and they both see the blood.

“I’ll call Travis,” Kylie says.

Donna helps you into the bathroom to help you change into new pants.

“Travis is on his way,” Kylie comes in.

“I can’t lose this baby. I can’t. I might not survive it.”

“Honey, we're here for you.” Kylie says.

“No, Kylie you don’t understand. I can't. If I lose this baby, I won’t survive.”

“You have us, Avery, and Travis.”

“Stop, you don’t understand. Yeah, Travis was happy when we found out about Avery, but we were also 19 and we were scared. When I told him I was pregnant again he lit up. I have never seen him happier. I can’t take this away from him.”

Minutes later Travis bolted into the house and flew up the stairs. He heard the women talking. He listened, staying outside the bathroom.

It killed him to hear you blame yourself for this. He ran into the room about a minute later.

“Travis?” you asked.

He hugged you. You lost it.

“I’m so sorry, travis.”

“No, do not fucking apologize. You did not do anything. We are gonna go to the hospital and they are going to say that nothing is wrong.”

“Travis, something is fucking wrong, I’m bleeding.”

He carefully picked you up and ran out towards the car.

“Travis stop!”

He didn’t listen. He went to the hospital. He didn’t care. He wanted them both to be okay. He was nervous.

Once you made it to the hospital, he got you out of the car and rushed into the emergency room.

“Help, my girlfriend is pregnant and she is bleeding,” he yelled.

Someone helped the two of you to a room and got some tests started. About an hour later, a doctor came in.

“Mr. Kelce and Ms. Y/L/N–”

“Mr and Mrs Kelce, please,” you said.

“I–”

I want to preface this by saying that Nynaeve is not a character that I think particularly much about, so I apologize to the Nynaeve experts if my take is off.

Episode three was interesting because the premise of the Accepted test is that the person being tested makes a choice. They face temptation and then choose. It felt like this rendition of the test turns this premise on its head.

Book Nynaeve makes a choice. She sees a fantasy of the life she imagines with Lan and then remembers the people she has a duty to and leaves.

Show Nynaeve chooses to live the fantasy. It’s only after her Lan is killed that she leaves. And yes there is guilt throughout the arches about having power but not using it when the world and people she loves need her to. But she chooses the fantasy instead. And then she is forced out of the fantasy. She watches her friends murdered then Lan murdered. And then she tries to leave with her fantasy child.

It’s not a choice to turn away from something she dreams of for her duty. It’s watching her dream die and then going through the arch.

I like that she comes back not because she chooses to face her responsibility to the world but because the arches show her that running from it will only lead to everyone she loves dying.

She feels very similar to Rand in this way. She is not yet choosing. She is recognizing that she has no choice. That choosing her selfish fantasy still leads to everyone she loves dying. So she has no choice but to fight.

It’s an interesting change, because if the test is at least in part about temptation then show Nynaeve fails. But then she gets another arch to go through once the dream is taken away. As if the pattern will not actually let her choose. Yes she chooses to walk through the arch but only after everything good about remaining has been taken away. There is a choice, but it is so limited as to only offer one real option at that point.

On a related note, I am happy so far with how Lan and Nynaeve are depicted this season. They got a little dramatic in 1x08. A lot of big feelings and declarations for two people who knew each other a month or two and slept together once (but Lan is the most dramatic so I suppose I can forgive it. And Nynaeve is having feelings for someone maybe for the first time in her life and that tends to make people dramatic).

Lan is rightly focused on his twenty year long relationship at the moment. And Nynaeve is dreaming about Lan in a way that feels so true to very early in a relationship. She fantasizes about him choosing her over Moiraine (without confronting the reality of loving someone who also loves another person deeply and intimately). She imagines Lan as a househusband in the Two Rivers (different from book Nynaeve who sees them in Malkier). She doesn’t know Lan well. Right now he is a person she can meld in her mind to her fantasy partner. In this episode this isn’t Lan. This is a fantasy Nynaeve has of a life she wishes for that she can’t have because the Last Battle is coming. Her Lan is not the person fighting since he was a child against the Dark. Her fantasy Lan is in this way the antithesis of Lan - willing to give up his sense of duty to the Light and his relationship with Moiraine.

It makes me hopeful that when Lan and Nynaeve get together in the show there may be real conversations and complexity and figuring out the reality of loving Lan. The truth is that Nynaeve cannot really be with Lan unless she is capable of understanding his love for Moiraine. As Alanna says it needs to be messy first. Nynaeve goes into her test still imaging the unmessy version. This episode makes me more hopeful the show may explore the more real version of what their relationship would entail.

Note

I absoltely loved the newest mob boys post and there teenage daughters can you do the mob boy’s reaction to their teenage daughters getting pregnant after sneaking out (poor Donnie’s daughter 🥲) (sorry for the spelling erors English isn’t my first language) thank you!

Love this idea for the Mob! boys, and yes, poor, poor Donnie's little girl

MASSIVE DISCLAIMER! Donnie's one will be dark as fuck, please do not read if anything to do with pregnancy is a trigger to you!

Mob! Leo

She's still grounded

it's been 2 months but she found her with a goddamn boy- not just /with/ a boy but in his *bed*

livid wouldn't even begin to cover how Leo felt

it took all his daughter's strength to hold him back from beating the living daylights out this teen boy who defiled his daughter

but something is different now

she's been quiet, not protesting when he gives her chores or sends her to bed. not even asking to have friends round when she knows she's grounded

he goes up to her room to talk, maybe she's been punished enough?

"Hey" she says softly, knocking on the door "what's up with you? you've been...distant"

she turns to face him, sat on her bed, and when she sees the gentle look on his face she can't contain it anymore

bursts into tears

"y-you know- you know Harry? The- the-the boy you found me with?..." she makes out between sobs

his mind returns to that night and he goes quiet. Angry again

"I'm sorry, daddy. I'm really sorry"

he doesn't get it at first, then she points to the trash can

he glances over and see's the pregnancy test box empty

he understands

the way Leo sees it, he has 2 choices: 1 scream. scream until his lungs bleed and she hates him forever or, 2 be there for his crying kid

he chooses the latter

he puts a stiff arm around her and she nuzzles into the crook of her father's neck, still inconsolable.

it's difficult to hide the shame, the disappointment, the anger....He had such big plans for her, now adding a kid to those plans? forget about it...

but he gets this one chance to show her that she can come to him about anything

it's going to be a long next few months...

Mob! Raph

His not-so-baby-anymore little girl is the light of his life

like, he's the proudest dad you can find

adores her, beyond words

so when he goes to tell her dinner is ready (without knocking, because it's his house and he can do what he wants) and finds her curled in a ball on her bed, crying and holding a positive pregnancy test... He loses it

screaming, punching the door, more screaming, ripping posters off her walls, did I mention he was yelling?

lots of "how could you be so stupid?" and "I raised you better than this!"

after about 20 minutes he calms down

it's nothing the daughter of this hot head isn't used to by now, but it's still scary for her

it's the look in her eyes that calms him the most- the look of fear as she clutches her stomach

a maternal sign

she wants the baby

"This motherfucker who knocked you up, he gonna stick around?" he asks

"I don't care if he does or not, fuck him! I've got you, don't I?"

a big sigh from Raph

"you've got me, kid"

he's not happy, how could he be?

but he knows she'll make a great mother

and he loves her too much, and is way too much of a pushover when it comes to her to be mad for too long

Mob! Mikey

He guesses she's pregnant

the morning sickness is a dead give away

he is Pissed, with a capital P

drags his daughter back to her room, any dolls or stuffed toys are ripped apart with his bare hands

"And this?" he hisses "What sort of mother had a ballerina jewellery music box? You're a child having a child! A stupid child at that! Insolent, pathetic and careless!"

none of this is yelled, his tone is almost a whisper

his daughter is crumpled down on the floor just weeping, waiting for storm Mikey to pass

"I thought I raised you better, I really did"

He leaves the house at that point, just walks straight past her as she sobs and goes to his brother's

they calm him down, a lot actually

remind him there are "options"

when he gets back to the house, he does say sorry

he knows he flies off the handle a little too quickly

he says he'll stand with her no matter what she chooses, but he knows what he would prefer for her to do

she sleeps in his bed that night, he holds his little girl and they whisper to each other until they both pass out

their relationship has always had rough patches like this but nothing they can't get through

Mob! Donnie

He knows

he always knows, he knew she snuck out, her knew she slept with that boy, he knows everything

so when she comes home to a seemingly empty house and goes up to her room, she;s in for a surprise

the room is liner with plastic sheets, like shower curtains, everywhere

the floor, the walls, there's a table in the middle of the room with a sheet covering something...

not something- someone

it's him, the boy, the one time hookup...

"oh fuck" she whispers

"oh fuck, indeed" Donnie's voice comes come behind her

"What did you do, dad? Is he dead?"

he smirks at that, which is dangerous. Only the worst kind of things amuse her father

"Dead? No. He wouldn't be worth the clean up. He just has a little... Procedure. To make sure he doesn't ever fuck up your life again"

she's confused, then he pulls out the positive pregnancy test you threw in a mall bathroom trash can last week.

How??? How does he always know?

"Now, darling..." He begins

((He never calls you darling, unless you're in deep shit with him))

"Are you going to be a good girl, and do what needs to be done? Or are you going to make daddy angry and disappointed all over again?" He leans in closer "I know which one I'd pick"

"I-I-I want the baby, dad" it's barely a whisper, mostly it's a plea

he tuts and shakes his head

"Wrong answer"

Government Mandated Best Friend

Ziggy Grover x Reader

Summary: Ziggy had been following you ever since you had been assigned to join the ranger initiative.

A/N: I love him, but also sorry if his characterization is off, I haven’t written him before. This flowed so naturally despite me not planning it out before so enjoy :)

——————————————

“The world is falling apart and you think that me putting on spandex that color will help?” You eyed the sheer purple material across the room.

Holding it stood Ziggy Grover, he was your government assigned babysitter. He claims hes not and that the government hasn’t asked him to spend every hour of his days with you.

Mr Truman - you refused to use his professional title - claimed that you were the perfect operator for ranger series purple. The rangers, and especially Dr K. did not agree. You didn’t either. But your options were to pretend to get along with these people, or go to jail.

It was insufferable how they all thought they could actually save the world. Even if the world was saved, it would never be the same. Nobody could return to their past lives, or their homes-

“Come on, I’m sure your…” Ziggy tried to put on a convincing voice, “… spunk..?

You raised an eyebrow at him.

Ziggy fumbled over his words, “well something about you will scare those robots away. Who knows? Maybe your ice cold stare that you always use on me will freeze Tanaya 7 to death!” His voice cracked. He had been trying to convince you to at least take the test for a few weeks now.

You broke eye contact, “Whatever you say ranger.” Ziggy’s shoulders dropped a little.

“Obviously they think you’re an asset with how hard they’re trying to get you on the team. I would die to be in that spot.”

“Weren’t you? With all of your physical competence I’d think they were begging at your feet.”

“Ha ha ha.” Ziggy said dryly, “Like I’ve never heard that one before.”

You got up to go find something more useful to do. Maybe you’d actually get some peace.

Ziggy followed you. He always did.

“Dr K can’t stand me, I doubt the red and black rangers can either. How am I the best candidate for this team if half of it hates me?” You explained as you walked.

Ziggy’s response was delayed as he stumbled over something. You didn’t look back to see what. “Well I like you, and Summer and Flynn don’t not like you.”

You glanced over your shoulder at him, “Wow, a whole one person on this team actually likes me, and even then its probably mandated that you do.”

“What- no- I like you because you’re cool!”

The two of you arrived at your room. You placed your hand on the doorknob but before you could enter, Ziggy put his hand over yours.

You looked at him, a refute rising in your throat. Ziggy spoke before you could.

“Look, I know you think that I’m only around you because I’m ordered to but I’m not. If they wanted someone to convince you, or even get you more partial to the idea, they’d probably choose Summer.”

You opened your mouth to butt in. Ziggy however, kept talking

“-besides, do you really think that I’d even be in the top three options for a job like that? I annoy people, if anything, they’d choose me so that you WOULDN’T become the most badass ranger we’ve ever seen.

“I choose to be around you of my own free will because I like being around you, and you could tie me to a pole in the wastes and I’d still be thinking of the next dumb joke I can make, just to get a glimpse of the real you.”

You were dumbfounded. You had known Ziggy was long winded, but this confession had caught you off guard.

“That doesn’t explain why you like being around me so much.”

Ziggy let out a exasperated laugh. “Because you don’t tell me to shut up. Because when I talk to you, you respond, even if they’re sharp and unkind. Because I like to make you laugh.”

It had been a long time since someone had spoken to you (and of you) so tenderly.

“Because your laugh makes me believe that you were a very different person before the world went to shit, and I want to get to know that person. Because I know thats the real you.”

You felt your long stifled emotions hitting you all at once. You restrained them.

“You know this is a really weird strategy for recruiting a new operator.”

“What about for making a friend?”

The door swung open and you stepped away from Ziggy and into your room.

“It’s not how I’d go about it, but it does a certain charm to it.” You tried to avoid looking back at him. You had so many feelings.

You let out a bitter laugh. “Sorry ranger, I think the old me that you want to see so bad is dead.” The emotions screamed how alive the old you was. “I killed them to survive. All thats left is whats in front of you.”

You heard Ziggy’s jacket rustle as he shrugged, “Well this isn’t all that bad either.”

You dared to look back. He was smiling. That damn green ranger had somehow managed to smile even in the face of this small defeat. He’d never get to meet you untouched by all the the things you’d seen, and still he smiled at you like you were some wonderful thing.

“I’ll never understand you Ziggy Grover.”

He shrugged again. “Yeah, well, I don’t either. I put on bright green spandex in an attempt to save the world. I used to work for a drug cartel, and my best friend is a bitter little person who believes that we’re all doomed. It will probably never make sense.”

“Best friend?”

“Well unless you’d like to change that to ‘love of my life’.”

“Lets not push it yet.”

“So maybe?”

“…Maybe.”

Nightbringer: Initial Thoughts

I have a lot of thoughts about Nightbringer, but I don't want to have one massive crazy post, so I'm gonna break it up a bit.

This first post is about the general gameplay, nothing story related. So there aren't any spoilers, just my thoughts on the app and updates.

Ruri☆Tunes

I LOVE IT. Listen, Ruri is adorable. I am right there with Levi. Like if this was a real anime, I would absolutely watch it. She's so cute! Did you guys see the background for Lesson 7 where there's a Ruri themed Miss Em doll? The cuteness nearly killed me.

The rhythm game itself is HARD. At first I didn't realize that you need to tap the actual objects. So by switching the controls to up and down, then turning my phone, and tapping the actual objects as they hit the line, I got WAY BETTER. I reblogged a post about this I think yesterday? It explains it better and thanks to that, the levels are now pretty fun.

I love the songs, of course, though some of the remixes are a little funky. But I loooove all the graphics! The lil donuts! And the lil demon chibis! And Luke's chihuahua! Oh yes and my favorite thing ever is Asmo's little "hai!" when he jumps over one of those green puddles. It's so cute.

Overall, I much prefer this to the dance battles. That being said, the levels are not really any easier than the OG. I was hoping we wouldn’t need to have a bunch of crazy high leveled cards to get through the story, buuuut it’s really looking like that might still be the way of it. I mean to be fair, the whole point of this is to make money so...

I don’t really hold it against them. I mean I do but I also don’t lol. The story is good enough that I can look past the money making motives. However I will say that this is just the case for me personally. I am lucky enough to have a little bit of disposable income to spend on apps, but I know a lot of players don’t.

Moving on before this becomes a rant about the evils of capitalism…

Wanderers Whereabouts

It sure is… something… Aside from the horrors of 3D models, I don't understand why they're playing sports in MC's room. Would it have been that much of an issue to give us an outdoor space as well as an indoor one? At least let them play sports in a field or something, you know?

My favorite ones so far have been when there's multiple demons in there, though. The way they interact with each other is so cute. And even though I find the whole thing a tiny bit weird, I DO like hearing their voices and seeing their interactions. Plus they do some really cute things when you give them an MC plushie.

But I think we all agree that the best part is watching Levi chase Mammon around on the map.

Fab Snap

This is supposed to be like TikTok, right? Once again I'm not a fan of the 3D models, which is probably due to the whole uncanny valley thing. However, I do still enjoy the shenanigans because what the fuck are those guys even doing? I'm sure you've all seen the musical chairs situation. I did like the one with Luke doing the snack test thing and you can hear Simeon who is recording the video. It's definitely cute to see them doing fun little things like that.

Everything else...

... seems to be the same except for some updated graphics and such. The story interface still has the 2D sprites thankfully and as far as I can tell, it works exactly the same as the OG. I've seen some people saying they're worried about the options changing the story, but they don't anymore than they did before. I think that's just their way of saying you get intimacy points with different characters depending on the options you choose. As far as I can tell, nothing seems to be any different on that end?

I love that they have entirely new special guest and home screen dialogue. The special guest dialogue especially seems more lovey and flirty than the OG. Solomon straight up says he loves you if you get the full heart reaction. You can still get annoyed reactions, though. From what I can tell, the reactions are the same as the OG app. If you get an S, it's the same as if you got three stars in the dance battle. I'm not sure about if you get lower than a B... but the three star reactions seemed to work for S, A, and B.

Also, I looooooove Karasu. I hope we get more Karasu beyond the tutorial, but I don't know if that's actually going to happen. I'm sure many of us will now refer to Mammon as Noodle Boy, though, because c'mon, that's excellent.

Okay there’s more I could talk about, but this post is already long lol. I like the mix of familiar stuff and new stuff. So far, I’m enjoying all of this. Stay tuned for posts about the story itself because there are so many thoughts.

I am also happy to receive any asks about your opinions on all of these things or if you have actual questions or anything else, of course.

I officially think that the “end of episode 4″ Buck’s growth being “put to the test” will be a realization of his own feelings.

They would need to give Eddie a minute to get to the point of confession for that to make sense. This story is about both of them so it can’t just be a surprise. Even if the feelings have been visible to plenty of viewers, the motive behind telling him now is still something that needs to happen (and we need to watch).

Buck’s arc is about romance. Really, it’s about how he values himself in relation to romantic relationships - but there’s no real way to put that to the test but a new romantic endeavor. And with next episode likely being focal to Athena and episode four being the next after that, there wouldn’t be enough time to really establish it unless episode 4 was entirely just catching up on what he’s been thinking this whole time culminating in that moment. And even then, it would be weird based on the phrasing of this interview that that moment then NOT be Buck’s POV at all.

The potential where he has to apply those skills he’s developed romantically when we know his next relationship to be endgame with Eddie is actually not inherently Eddie telling him he’s an option. It’s simply...Buck become *aware* that he is. That can come from anyone; it can come internally - from inside the house, so to speak (inside the living room - too much of a stretch? like when he moved the chair? no? ok).

Under the assumption that this comment is applied romantically, all that has to put Buck’s skills to the test is for him to become aware of Eddie as a romantic option. That is something to confront even without confronting Eddie, and it is something that can come up even without Eddie bringing it to him. And it makes sense. He is so close. He has been so close. His true love monologue last season finale? C’mon, he is on the VERGE.

He’s got it. And he’s got to do it himself. And he’s got to confront it himself - with all those skills he’s developed. And I must say, to have him be self aware and still let himself be the one chased is a very cool angle and I’m excited for it. It means him not just not making pursuit because of a lack of trust but out of pure choice because it IS NOT WHAT HE PLACES HIS VALUE ON ANYMORE. Buck choosing not to take action is actually the ULTIMATE demonstration of Buck’s growth, as has been described as what we will see and what he will be challenged with.

OUAT Thoughts Pt. 17--Episodes 14-15

I have watched through S2E14; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.

Ended up saving Andor for the weekend, so I had time to watch OUAT. Enjoy!

—Okay no. I’ve had it up to here with villains winning because they hold one person hostage to get an object the hero possesses. This hostage is usually a person who would die for good, if given the choice—actually, these people often say something along the lines of “don’t do it, you’ll be letting the villain win.” Good is not saving one person’s life by screwing over everyone else. Cora having that dagger is always going to be a worse option than one person dying. It’s literally not even a debate. Perhaps the idea of such a conundrum is to point out that the hero’s weakness is being too good—but then it also tacks on stupidity and shortsightedness, free of charge. If a villain threatens to kill a hostage if they don’t get their magical world-destroying object, the hero is not the badguy for choosing to keep the object and let a single person die.

—Aaaaay, Mrs. Patmore! It’s a shame she had to die so soon, but she was gonna die either way.

—Also, heroes are pretty dumb for ever believing the villain won’t just kill the hostage anyway. Like, I wouldn’t gamble the fate of the world or the fate of hundreds/thousands of others for the possibility of saving one person.

—Y’all, I been so steamed about the cliches of Good v. Evil that I forgot Mr. Gold is dying!…And now my emotional pain returns.

—The only possible bright side is that there is the world’s tiniest possibility of Mr. Gold and Baelfire being un-estranged eventually.

—The other very dark side (you know, besides death) is that Mr. Gold will probably end up under Cora’s control. Or she’ll kill him. Man death is persistent.

—Rumplestiltskin’s soldier uniform was pretty.

—His wife is an arse. She told him that she would rather he died. I have no love for him pulling a Thomas Barrow, but I would rather have my spouse home with an injury, self-inflicted or otherwise, than dead.

—Young Snow White’s dresses are gorgeous. A little stiff, perhaps, but so well decorated.

—The Good Queen’s red dress was stunning, also. Once again, well decorated.

—That Seer girl was creepy as heck. It’s not bad enough that she has eyes on her hands, she also has to have stitches all over her face?

—Then she grows up and Rump gives her the High Five of Destiny and she dies. GG.

—I understand Bae not wanting to talk to Mr. Gold. He’s got a load of trauma. On the other hand, Mr. Gold has been searching for him and manipulating the entire world to find him for centuries. On another hand, a lot of Bae’s trauma is heavily associated with magic. It’s complicated and messy, but my end goal is to see Mr. Gold apologize properly, start reforming, and to have a friendly relationship with his son again.

—Snow White having a brat moment as a kid is a good move. My number one love for Snow White is that she is deeply and fundamentally good, but a child does not start that way. That’s simply not how human beings work. Her becoming a better person wasn’t an especially complicated, but that’s fine, because she passed a hard test for a good reason.

—After Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, Snow curtseying to her mother’s body made me a lil weepy. (My mom, too. She loves royal stuff from all over the world. She watched all of the important moments from Her Majesty’s funeral proceedings live.)

—Rump’s story now has a bit of a cliche in it, but this one I don’t mind much. He’s become like the parental person he always swore he would never be like, and that is such a real and possible thing that I like seeing it. It’s easier than we like to think that we might turn out like people who have disappointed, which is ironic because we spend so much of our time worrying about it. But it is possible to do better, even if you do fail yourself in such a manner, which I hope is portrayed for Rump in the following episodes.

—I don’t want Snow White to be a bad person. Emma is our morally dubious hero for the series; Snow’s appeal, as mentioned above, is that she is good. She turns the other cheek, she pulls for the other person, she believes in good itself. Of all the people to turn dark, she’s the one I wouldn’t want—but I suppose that’s why she was picked. Also, that might put her into direct confrontation with Charming, which I’m not relishing the idea of.

—Bae’s a Lost Boy. That’s fun. Are we gonna find out that he’s actual fricking Peter Pan at some point, too?

—If we can have stuff from story sources that aren’t Grimm/Anderson, we should get some Nightmare Before Christmas characters. Not as mains, but as a side adventure into another world for a limited time.

—Bae’s fiancee can’t possibly be a regular person. He’s known about Storybrooke for a while, and he requested to be notified when the curse was broken, so obviously he expected to come into contact with those people again. I don’t think he’d really drag a regular woman into that disaster.

—I also don’t think that A) Rump would draw a map to his dagger, or that B) Belle would be stupid enough to leave that notecard in her purse. Which leads to the possibility that the map was a fake, which is frankly the most plausible idea.

—Hiding the dagger in the clock hand was brilliant.

—It’s fun that future sight is being depicted as a burden. It’s easier to have a Seer be just an omnipotent person who gives advice, but in a vague or cryptic form, and who really doesn’t seem to suffer for it. The idea that the future is simply too much for one person to see is an interesting take.

—Henry eating his way across the eastern seaboard has been just about the only part of that journey that isn’t entirely tragic. Cinnabon, hot dog, pizza…what next?

—Probably some weird-ass pirate food. Whatever Hook has on board his ship.

—I want to know more about whatever beef Cora had with the Good Queen. Were they sisters? Were they friends? Is that even going to be explored later? So many questions! —I feel very smart having figured out that Bae was Henry’s father.

—Thanksgiving would be awkward for these people. I kind of want to see that.

—Pinocchio threatening Bae with a typewriter was hilarious. I mean, it was supposed to be serious, and it kinda was, but come on!

—Still wondering where Pinocchio has wandered off to. But at this point I don’t expect to ever find out.

Hii! Hope you are doing fine!

I would like to join the tarot event!

I choose option 3. (Them about you)

My initials:- Y(she) Sun sign:- ♑ Moon sign:- ♑ Venus sign:- ♐

Their initial:- V Sun sign:- ♍

Information:-

I chose option 3 because I want clarity on a situation regarding a person and I want you to do the reading so I can get that clarity and clear out my confusion. So actually few months back like in June I got crush on this person V (she). Now at that time I thought like she is not reciprocating my feelings as I felt she was little bit off at that time and was lost in herself, in her own problems it seemed. And she was not talking to me too that much. But later on we started talking in our vacation period but like normal friends talk and I thought it's best for me to get out of my feelings. Now when vacation got over and I came back to college. Now actually we are hostellers. So when I came back I am seeing this person becoming more close to me even if I decide to take steps back. And I see like this person is flirting with me, is getting closer to me, wants to get closer to me, again this person tells me a lot of times that she understands me and all. Then like sometimes this person is so caring more so flirting and other times doesn't even bother my existence. And I feel sometimes doesn't even care about me even though I know that she does care about me. Then other fact is she is close to everyone but doesn't flirt with everyone the way she does. Like for example this thing happened where one of my friend got something from someone to just hold for few minutes and she was like that person who gave her loves her so that person gave those things to hold. After that V immediately takes the phone from my hand holds it and says like - So it means Y ( myself ) loves her too. And then she calls me - Bro. Like for what idk 😒. Still I choose to loose my feelings as I see no future in this. Another thing like I am an intuitive person too and so I just know that this person V has a lot of staurn influence in her life and another thing is she won't accept that she has a crush on me even though she knows that she has. And I feel she also wants to get rid of these feelings but she seems to be just testing the waters. And another thing I don't like , like not only me but others in our friend group too that V pays more attention and gives more attention to a friend of hers and another person more than anyone else. At that time she will neglect everyone. So I just don't understand what position she has given me in her life. Neither do I understand sometimes if she really has a crush on me? ( Even though I feel it's there). Also it's like she will ask me info about things but she won't tell anything about her like for example- she just asked me today when she returned from holiday if I missed her and then I asked her the same question to which she didn't answer anything. Again like sometimes she will ask me about my opinions and past experiences and what's going on my mind but won't ever tell about hers. And as a scorpionic person I hate to open up to someone who doesn't open up and so I choose to be close. And I know that there are things that are hurting her as she will sometimes go in quite mode. And she is mostly clearing her confusion over she should take a step forward or not but sometimes something done by her makes me sad. And also one more important thing is that this is my first time catching feeling for a same sex person or else I have been always been interested in guys . Also if possible can you tell me the answer to one more question as she didn't answer me - Did she miss me during the weekend holiday's ?

A romantic gif I feel I resonate with-

I know there seems nothing much Romantic in this pic but that's what sometimes I love to be. Just hugging and feeling the presence of peace and love.

A romantic gif I think resonates with you-

like this is the gif for you that catched my eye and I remembered clearly.

Your colour:-

Ok so when I was thinking about the colour that will resonate with you I heard red in my mind and that time there was a dark red colour in front of me and I was wearing a red top like blood red no like dark red , the maroon red type colour and then another thing was that I changed the top and I was still wearing another shirt and pant that is in that colour. So I felt your aura may have this colour.

Anything else:-

Please try to privately answer this as it took a lot for me to put it out there and I am quite private person and don't want anyone else to know these things about me as I got quite a lot people stalking me on my socials.

Thank you so much. Have a nice day. Take care. 💕

Hello Y, lots of people have complained that if replied privately, the messages sometimes disappear. Plus, more importantly it's not fair. And personal readings are not jokes. Also, you've got nothing to worry about, no matter who watches your socials, they will not find their way here. So, let's dive into your reading, shall we?

First of all, she feels like she can handle everything on her own. Not gonna lie, her ego might be quite high up there. She wants to be the main character and she has strong preferences. She knows what she wants and she has this master manifestor attitude to her. What this seems like is she wants to be loved by many at the same time. The merrier, the better. It's just it makes her feel like she is in control, it's like she is proving things to herself.

Personally towards you she feels like she is the one in control. There is a sense that she feels like she is the commander and you one of her minions. Basically she feels like whatever the situation is between you two, you've got zero influence on her. She is aware you seem to have left the building. She was certain you had feelings for her, at least that you liked her. But something about you changed. It seems to be related to how you talk or just communication in general and the lack of consistency in your actions. But she doesn't think it's completely over!

She wants to get things back in order, whatever that means to her. If nothing else, at least that you get ordinarily along. She seems to be more focused on shining and attracting. Like mentioned before, she wants all the affection for herself. So towards you she simply intends to keep on shining, so you most definitely have to notice her, admire her, etc. Action-wise, she seems to want to leave it up to you. There is some degree of temptation, but it's more like she loves the idea of you being stuck on her, wanting her, making you jealous, but you cannot have her. But the cards make it very clear that it's up to your mindset. You are free and can easily move on from this situation anytime you want.

ps. feedback is always appreciated.

Four Dairy Alternatives for Those with Lactose Sensitivity

Lactose intolerance is a common problem. It can happen at any point of your life. Those having lactose intolerance suspect something wrong with them but the truth is established only through food sensitivity testing in Baltimore. It is shocking that you have to say goodbye to so many delicious dairy products from chocolates to cakes and other deserts. Even if your stomach protests after every single bite of chocolate, you will still love the silky smooth affair between milk and chocolate.

Oh no, I’m not here to write a poetry or story. I feel the depression and desperation in you, which may be seeking a way to volcanic eruption but somehow, you have managed to put a lid on your emotion. Believe me, you are in some luck!There are some fascinating alternatives to satisfy your craving. Food entrepreneurs have introduced several delicious and nutritious alternatives for people with dairy sensitivities. Want to know about them?

Well, the dairy alternatives are categorized under four heads:

· Non-Dairy Milk

· Non-Dairy Yogurt

· Non-Dairy Butter

· Non-Dairy Cheese

Non-Dairy Milk: The word “milk” is no longer limited to traditional dairy. Several plant-based food products, from grains to nuts, are now turned into nutritious and delicious liquids referred to as “milks” these days.

Whether you are making creamy pasta or latte, you can use non-dairy milk in the recipe as a milk alternative. Many alternatives have a high nutrition profile whereas others are fortified options. To be safe, avoid those with preservatives or added sugar. The less sweet and more natural, the healthier!

Choose from:

· Coconut Milk

· Cashew Milk

· Almond Milk

· Soy Milk

· Oat Milk

· Rice Milk

· Hemp Milk

Non-Dairy Yogurt

For centuries, yogurt or fermented dairy milk is used to make creamy, tangy texture. Now, you have got non-dairy options that can serve the same purpose. Yogurt is rich in probiotics and high-protein contents. Most non-dairy yogurt brands add probiotic bacteria to replicate the benefits of natural dairy-based yogurt.

Choose from:

· Coconut Yogurt

· Cashew Yogurt

· Almond Yogurt

· Soy Yogurt

· Hemp Yogurt

Non-Dairy Butter

Well, let me get frank with you by saying that any non-dairy butter cannot be an alternative to the silky, golden chunk of dairy butter. However, a few excellent alternatives are available, thanks to modern technology and some food connoisseurs’ innovation.

If it comes to texture, butter is easier to replicate. Non-dairy fats can easily imitate the texture of solidified fat that butter is. Most non-dairy butter is actually plant-based fats that you can spread on toast or use to sauté vegetables.

Choose non-dairy butter made from:

· Coconut Oil

· Avocado Oil

· Soy Oil

· Flaxseed Oil

· Canola Oil

· Nuts like almonds, cashew etc.

Non-Dairy Cheese

It’s impossible tobreak your ‘cheesy’ affair! But then you have got the warning during your nutritional counselling in Baltimore. Is it a permanent separation? At this point, your nutritionist tells “you have an option”. Non-dairy cheese brings smile on your face.

Choose from:

· Cashew

· Almonds

· Soy Products

· Coconut Oil

· Tapioca Starch

· Coconut Oil

· Cauliflower

Give these non-dairy products a chance to satiate your craving. You will not get disappointed, that’s my promise!

5 Easy Ways to Make Coffee While Camping - Panergy

You wake up as the sun is rising at your favorite KOA campground. The birds are chirping as you wake up to the peaceful quiet of the morning. There are no kids yelling and screaming (yet). Obviously, it’s time for coffee so you reach for your french press but then think, “I don’t want to clean this up… what a pain that is.” Next you go for the pour over but you ran out of filters. Whoops. Instant coffee? No way.

Whether you’ve experienced this exact situation or you were camping with no luxuries, you know the dreaded feeling when you want a nice, hot cup of coffee but no good ways to make it. Until now.

1. MAKE COFFEE EASY WITH COFFEE BAGS

I’ve got a suggestion to get you started. Are you looking for a convenient way to brew up coffee on your next camping trip easily? Say goodbye to instant coffee, french presses and coffee machines forever. The solution? Coffee bags.

Wildland Coffee bags are great for campers in terms of ease, efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and storage. All you have to do is heat up 8oz of water and steep the bag for 8 minutes (or to taste) and you have a french press quality cup of coffee that has instant coffee-like convenience.

2. SOCK COFFEE. PEOPLE MAKE COFFEE IN A SOCK WHEN THEY GO CAMPING?

Bruh. Are we making coffee inside a sock? Do people do this? Are you kidding me? That’s enough internet for the day.

No, seriously, in any case. The Coffee Sock Method is one of the time-tested methods of brewing coffee. Just make sure you wash your socks regularly, or maybe even just use a specific Coffee Sock made for this exact purpose.

This method is for the hardcore outdoor nerds only so use this method sparingly. You can throw it in your knapsack the next time you’re headed out west to do some gold prospecting.

The Coffee Sock Method is weird, but it’s got a sizable cult following and deserves a shout-out here. And besides, with the advances in modern camping equipment, people don’t use their actual socks anymore. Like the ones on their feet? Do they?

3. COWBOY COFFEE. A COWHAND TAKES COFFEE WITH AN EGG WHILE THEY BREAK CAMP

Are you wondering where cowboy coffee gets its name? Back in the day, the cowpokes working the ranges out West would save themselves time, cooking an egg inside their coffee as daybreak hit.

Cowboys broke camp and started work early each day. They began each morning with an egg cooked to perfection inside a cup of spicy coffee.

The primary ingredients for cowboy coffee are water, ground coffee beans, and some kind of sweetener. Try a little milk or cream in a pinch instead of sweetener. Then, add a dash of cayenne pepper (or two) for a spicy kick, maybe some cinnamon or nutmeg.

Cowboy coffee works best when all ingredients are brought to a rolling boil together. It might sound weird, but hey, there’s always the Coffee Sock Method if you aren’t feeling it.

4. TAKE A FRENCH PRESS TO MAKE COFFEE ON YOUR NEXT CAMPING TRIP

Alright maybe you’re not into tea bags, cowboys of socks. Do you enjoy the finer things in life? Do you love coffee? Or as the French say, “aimez-vous le café?” Choose the “French Press Method” for your next capmping trip.

You’re not a snob when it comes to coffee. You just need the best of the best. If that means a little more fiddling around with camping box, so be it.

You deserve it, and you have no shame. You treat yourself using the French Press method because you just have to outshine your college friends, brewing up the boujiest coffee. So who cares if Hipster Coffee Sock Guy and Instagram Suburbia Cowgirl make fun of you for it?

You’ve been bringing high-class coffee on all the camping trips before it was cool, and you’ve got the evidence well documented on the ‘Gram back to 2012 to prove it.

5. THE ORIGINAL PERCOLATOR AND POT METHOD

How to make coffee while camping using a percolator, you ask? It may not be new or unique, but it’s actually quite simple and doesn’t take long at all. Their familiarity with many people makes percolators great options for brewing up a cup of java while camping or doing other outdoor activities such as ice-fishing or kayaking miles and miles of river in the backcountry.

All you’ll need is a lightweight percolator device, coffee beans, and a portable pot. While there are modern options, sentimental types enjoy having a coffee pot while camping. The only question left is whether or not to grind your coffee beans in advance.

People love coffee, and you’re no different. However, the percolator coffee brewing solution for camping can add personal flair to your trip, and it’s an excellent option for the camp cook who enjoys preparing meals for the whole crew.

WILDLAND COFFEE IS UNDENIABLY A WINNER FOR EASE OF USE AND CONVENIENCE WHILE CAMPING.

I may be slightly biased but if you want the perfect combination of ease, convenience, quality and price, go grab yourself some Wildland Coffee.

Make sure you stock up on Wildland Coffee before planning your next big trip. The last thing you want to deal with is the frustration of coffee equipment while you’re trying to relax and enjoy time with your friends, family and nature.

Wildland Coffee beans are sourced from ethical farms in Brazil and Guatemala and the tea bag itself is 100% compostable. Keep it simple, affordable and reduce the amount of stuff on your camping trip. The best part, each pouch keeps the coffee french for 12 months.

The Importance Of Minecraft Server

If the sport sees some success and money comes rolling in, it can arrive on Pc and Android far more rapidly. As soon as you've got logged in, the launcher will take you to your Minecraft account's dashboard, the place you may manage your account, purchase skins, install mods, and alter settings. If you wish to continue, you will have to buy the total recreation. You will have to buy the game on their web site or anywhere else, and it'll value you some money. Since there wasn't any extra resolution to play this on-line game a long time ago, I made the choice to buy the item. This recreation launch is completely created for the mobile devices and absolutely chill to play. For my part the very best launch would be the first video game, nonetheless should you wish to play on your smartphone I like to recommend the Minecraft pocket edition. Like another mainstream sport, it is possible to play Mine Craft with your pals and family online using Minecraft servers . It's as much as SpongeBob and his pals -- Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, Gary the Snail and Mr. Krabs -- to stop him. Bonus: Just make actually annoying speech macros in Vent -- they'll cease asking you to raid quickly enough.

Install it online. On the location you can also make your private MOJANG account. Many of the gaming platforms usually provide a beta or demo model of the sport for his or her target audience to get a response from their user base to allow them to catch up with the market and user interest at the identical time. Now, it's going to start the obtain, and as soon as it gets downloaded, you possibly can play the sport. Click on 'Play Demo' to begin downloading game files for the trial period. Then, click on the Home windows logo to download the trial model. Now, click on on the 'Strive it Free' link to install a free trial. There is one model that lets you play it on the browser freed from cost. There are some video games developed especially for this. These sources are transformed to blocks through refinery and assembler models, and the blocks are then capable of be placed throughout the sport world to make, well, just about anything you possibly can imagine. Now, observe the proper instructions talked about on-display to correctly set up the game on your laptop.

On the next page, choose your pc machine and choose the platform. Can you employ Minecraft guns on the pc sure or no? Use the flowers to show mobs against each other or use the flowers to heal you. Typically you’ll be in a situation where a Creeper sneaks up on you, you swiftly flip around to swipe it along with your sword, however your sword hits the grass in front of you as a substitute. Say it with me now: long grass sucks. In classic, you'll be able to go to many varieties of blocks, but here limit comes 32. This is a artistic sport for artistic people who do not love limitations. Right here we're speaking about Minecraft. You can even enjoy the Demo model of Minecraft freed from price. It's all the time doable to play the Minecraft sport or any other game of your selection free of price with some limitations. Some limitation comes with the free version. The most important and hurtful limitation is the absence of resuming constructing blocks so we are able to test later. These limitations are 30 blocks maximization & absence of complaining alternative.

Take this opportunity to play this crime epic again (or for the first time), and that i promise you will not regret it. Now you can play the sport. It had been the best deal I ever made concerning buying a online recreation. Your best option for technical specialists with giant tasks that require full administration freedom. We at all times try to ship you one of the best resolution. Subsequent, anticipate the method to complete and when completed, attempt relaunching Minecraft and see if the error is fixed or not. Minecraft retains thrilling to check out as a result of its giving people a problem. Every time Minecraft displays an excellent up-date it might be going to be about the topic higher with one another. Why else would you show favoritism to "the nice ones" by letting them in a few days early whereas the bad seed have to take a seat out in the cold, seething with hatred, and discovering themselves increasingly sympathetic to the philosophies of Darth Vader, Voldemort, and L. Ron Hubbard as the wait goes on? However you can be taught that shortly while putting in. This course of beforehand required utilizing the Jailbreak app, however that's not obligatory as add-on information can be launched in Minecraft for iOS straight by way of the Safari browser.

hello, i love your writings so much! i wanted to request something for tasm! peter with the prompts “You’re the reason that they’re gone!” & “I wish I died back there, because at least then you would have been satisfied.” & “All I’ve ever wanted is for you to see me.” & “Wake up. You have to wake up. Please. For me.” where somehow peter blames reader for gwen's death and they fight but then she almost dies and he regrets it. totally fine if you don't want to do it! these are way too specific :3

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR HEART

DESCRIPTION I you and peter are dating for a few months now. The problem is, he keeps blaming you for gwen’s death: his ex-girlfriend and your bestfriend.

PAIRING I tasm!peter parker × fem!reader

WORD COUNT I 4k

A/N I Thank you for your kind words they mean the world 🥺 this request was absolutely incredible I think it’s one my favorite fic I ever write. I hope you will like it too!! 🥰

WARNING I Gwen is dead as you could guess, mention of death and some kind of depression

You never asked for much in love. Or even in general. You accepted things as they come, even when it was hard.

You just wished your boyfriend would love you enough to stop blaming you for his ex-girlfriend death. Especially considering she was your best friend.

You knew Gwen for as long as you could remember. It was like she had always been in your life. You spend all your school years together, from elementary to high school. You did the same things, choose the same options. You were like two inseparable siblings. You couldn’t even count the numbers of pictures you had of you two together. It was [y/n] and Gwen, since forever and until the end of time.

You were so similar that you even managed to have a crush on the same guy. When you met Peter Parker in high school it was obvious to you. He was cool, discrete, and so pretty. Let’s just say that English class became much more interesting the year you were sat next to him. You never said a thing, either to him or to Gwen actually. You were kind of shy about it and pretty sure he would reject you.

When you learned that Gwen also had a crush on him and noticed the way he was looking at her, you accepted they were meant to be together. You let them be. You would never have forgiven yourself for keeping them apart. And from that day, you forgot about your crush on Peter.

You were so happy to hear their stories. You grew closer to Peter when they started dating. You had to; Gwen never left you out of her life even when she was him. “It’s us against the world [y/n]. And Peter Parker will certainly not put us apart.” She kept saying. And she was right. She would always come to you when she needed to.

She told you about Peter’s secret…well she kind of have to. There would never have been a good explanation for Spiderman to come to her room, on a Tuesday night, when you were not in danger; you were studying for a test. But from then, she told you every time she was scared or angry at him for this.

When she lost her dad, you were there. You even slept at her place to make sure she wasn’t alone. You gave Peter some news about her. It was driving you mad they broke up when they were loving each other so much.

When they worked on their friendship, you were the kind of friend that were trying to put them together. “Did you see how he looked at you?” “Girl, he’s absolutely in love with you!” “Peter Parker you better move your ass if you don’t want to lose her.”

Then Gwen got an offer in England.

You would never imagine a world where Gwen Stacy would be dead. To choose, you would rather be gone that waking up every day without your best friend. And you knew Peter was feeling the same.

That was how you got closer.

Grief was a terrible process and it felt good to have someone going through the same thing. You would encourage each other to go on with your life. Peter supported you when you decided to pursue your dream job. And you forced Peter to not give up on his Spiderman suit; he had to think about the number of lives he could save, rather than the one he lost.

You became more and more affectionate. Giving each other hug, sleeping in the same bed when one would have nightmares or just needed someone with them. Naturally, you and Peter started dating. Nobody could understand what you were going through expect for you two. And being together all the time made the feeling grow into love.

Yes, you loved Peter. And Peter loved you. Undeniably.

There was just one problem: Peter was blaming you for Gwen’s death.

For him, it was a butterfly effect: when Gwen told you about her offer in England, you immediately encourage her to accept it. You were her best friend, what were you supposed to do?

If you hadn’t support her, maybe she wouldn’t have accepted it. If she hadn’t, then she wouldn’t had been out that night. If she hadn’t been out, she wouldn’t have died.

For Peter, you were part of her death. If most of the time he worked on that feeling and try to convince himself that it wasn’t that simple, he couldn’t help it. No matter how much he cared about you.

And you knew about it. Because Peter wasn’t the kind of guy to keep those feelings to himself. When he was sad, he would tell you things like “you should never have let her leave.” “You should have prevented her from going to the airport that night.” Those words were like little knifes that he was putting into your skin. They hurt. But you understood he was sad.

You were missing your best-friend too. Of course, you wondered what would have changed if you convinced her to stay one night.

But you knew Gwen. She wasn’t the kind to listen if she had something in mind. She would have left no matter your opinion. You would just have lost her after a bad decision. At least, she gave you the biggest hug before saying goodbye for the last time.

So, when Peter was blaming you, you try to talk to him. Saying that it wasn’t either your fault or his. That was the way life was supposed to go, no matter how hard it was to accept it. If he wasn’t too sad, he would cry in your arms. You would let everything go together before finding something to do to light up the mood.

If he was in a bad mood, he wouldn’t answer or snap back at you. You would let to him the time to find himself back. Then he would make himself up to you with a romantic date or just by saying sorry in his own way.

You accepted to live with that. Nobody was grieving in the same way. It was Peter’s way to go through it. And one day, it will be better.

But not today.

You had an awful day at work. Your colleague made you make some mistakes by giving false information to you. Of course, your boss fall on you and said some awful things you wished you could forget. You just wanted to go home and cry. You decided to go to Peter’s, hoping he would have a good idea to change your mind.

But from the moment you opened the door, you knew it would be…more complicated than excepted.

“Peter? Honey?” You called but didn’t get any answer. It didn’t surprise you, considering the whole apartment was in the dark. You couldn’t see anything, and it was really hard to notice Peter’s figure. You were making small steps, in case there was something on the floor, glasses, books, remotes, your boyfriend…

You finally saw Peter, sitting on his sofa. You immediately noticed he was wearing his suit, except for the mask. And the way he was focusing on the wall made you think something happened today. “Hey…” you said slowly, sitting beside him. You hoped he didn’t hear how broken your voice sounded. But considering he didn’t react to your presence he probably didn’t notice.

You were brushing his arm gently, trying to get something from him. He took him a few minutes before talking. “Someone died. In front of me.” He said with a low and raspy voice. You only heard that voice a couple of times: when Peter had been screaming so hard his voice broke. It happened after Gwen’s death and after bad events. It happened once after a fight you had.

“A stupid car accident. I managed to take everyone out of the car, put them in a safe place. But…there was no signalization. I didn’t hear the other car coming. They didn’t know about the accident. They just crashed and…”

“Shh, it’s ok Pete…” you replied. You put all your issues away and took all Peter’s with you. You slowly put your head on his shoulder, trying to take him in your arms. And it worked.

But only for a few seconds. Peter then pushed you back. “No it’s not!”

You watched him get back on his feet. You could see his hands trembling, a proof of his anger. “It’s not fine to watch people die [y/n]! I don’t care about those who lived. I won’t remember their fucking face. I will remember the face of the guy that looked at me before dying! I will remember his look, his fear!”

“I know you will Peter, I know it’s hard, I just…”

“No, you don’t.” He snapped back. He didn’t want to talk about it. He wouldn’t listen anyway. And you get it, you were no superhero and you never saw someone dying in front of you. So, no, of course you had no idea what he was going through. But you knew there was something more behind that. You just didn’t want to open this door, again.

“I’m just saying…” you tried. From the way Peter turned around to look at you, you knew you just made a mistake.

“Oh, shut up [y/n]” he started. And those four words broke your heart immediately. You needed comfort. You got hurt. It wasn’t what you had planned for the night. “You know nothing. Gwen would have understood.”

Of course, you thought. Of course, he would bring Gwen here. How awful it was that you were constantly haunted by your best friend’s ghost? And you could be mad at no one. You still loved her. And Peter too. You understood why he would talk about her. It didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.

it just kept reminding you that Gwen wasn’t here anymore. And that their relationship was better than yours. That was how you felt, and Peter wasn’t helping.

You were getting bored of being compared to her all the time. Yes, you knew she was perfect. But so, you could be. You let go all the sadness and anger you had inside you. “But Gwen is not here anymore Peter!”

The silence that followed your answer was terrifying. Peter looked at you for a good ten seconds before walking to you. You were scared. Never in your life you would have thought you would fear your boyfriend. And certainly not Peter. His eyes were red from all the tears he cried before you arrived. His lips were trembling. And he pointed a finger at you, a finger that was touching your chest. It was like he was putting a knife into your heart.

“You. You’re the reason that they’re gone.” He mumbled against his lips. He never said it like that. He screamed it. He cried it, once or twice. But never did he say it in a menacing way. It looked like he wanted to make you pay for her death. You couldn’t breathe properly. Like some invisible hands were strangling you. You never thought words could be this hurtful.

You stayed silent. Looking at him. Hoping he would realize what he just said and apologized. But it was Peter. And he was angry. So of course, he didn’t. He just kept looking at you too with those threatening eyes. A single tear fell from your eye. But it didn’t change anything. You were not even sure he noticed it.

When you accepted that he wasn’t going to say anything anymore, you took a step back. You couldn’t handle it anymore. You couldn’t be someone’s punching ball. Specially not when this someone was the man you loved with your whole heart, the only person you still had in your life. How come the person that saved you was also the one drowning you with his grudge?

You walked to the door, taking back your bag and your coat that you took off when you arrived. Thinking you would spend the night here with your lover. Not leaving a few minutes after with a broken heart. When you turned your head, you saw that Peter went to the window. A window with no light, the curtain was closed. You had no idea what he was looking at.

You hated loving him so much. Because seeing him like this made you want to run and take him in your arms. But his words kept echoing in your head. You couldn’t let this happen again.

You had to put yourself first this time. You took a big breath, putting your hand on the handle before looking back at him. “You know…” you said. He froze. You saw how his knee stopped moving. “I wish I died back there, because at least then you would have been satisfied.”

Your voice broke at the end. You didn’t wait for an answer. A one you knew wouldn’t come. You just left.

Leaving Peter in silent tears.

You spent the rest of the day crying. You wished you could call Gwen and tell her about your day. You wished Peter would be there for you. You really wished you died instead of her. You wouldn’t have to suffer then.

At some point, you needed to tell Peter what was on your mind. You were not surprised when he didn’t answer. And quite relieved too. You didn’t want to talk to him. You just needed to speak your mind.

“Hi Pete. I’m sorry you’re feeling this feeling. I’m sorry you had a bad day. I’m sorry someone died during your mission, and you couldn’t do anything about it. I know it’s not easy for you and I really wish you would let me be there for you. But you must understand you’re not alone in this. I’m suffering too. I had a fucking bad day too. How would you know? You’re not asking me. You’re never asking me anything. Every day I wake and want to cry when I remember Gwen’s not there. And I know you do too. And I get it. But I can’t do this anymore. I can’t accept my boyfriend behind mean to me for no reason except he’s so sure I killed his girlfriend. You know it’s not my fault and Gwen would have left no matter what. I can’t walk on eggshells all the time because I have no idea if you’re going to be nice or mean to me. I could accept to live with Gwen’s ghost. I could accept that you will always love her. But I can’t accept to be hurt by you this often.” It was getting harder to breath; you knew you were going to break down. You had just one thing to say. “All I’ve ever wanted is for you to see me, Peter...why is it that hard…” You cried. You immediately hung up and threw your phone away.

Peter listened to your message over and over the following days. He never realized how much he was hurting you. He knew you understood but he thought…whatever he thought, he was clearly wrong. He kept replaying your last sentence. It hurt. He deserved to be hurt.

Peter Parker was in love with you. Yes, he still loved Gwen. But she wasn’t there anymore. You were. He had to work on your relationship and on himself if he wanted to keep you in his life.

It took him few days to think about everything; what he wanted to tell you, what he was going to say and mostly, how he was going to explain to you that he didn’t blame anymore. It wasn’t fair to always put you through hell for something like that. He wanted to make things right. To prove you, he was ready to move forward. With you.

So, one evening after work, he decided to go to your place. He brought food from your favorite Italian’s restaurant and a massive bouquet with your favorite flowers. Peter was stressed as if it was your first date. As if you didn’t know each other for years and had no secret. But he was so scared you won’t want him back. He lost Gwen; he couldn’t lose you two.

Peter knocked at your door slowly. “[y/n]?” he called. With no answer on the other hand, he knocked harder, but you still weren’t answering. There were two possibilities: either you weren’t there, or you didn’t want him here. You could be out, he admitted. Even if he had no idea who you could be with. You never spoke about friends from work. And he was pretty sure you weren’t talking to people from high school anymore. Which mean, you probably didn’t want to see him.

“Listen [y/n] …I don’t know if you can hear me or even if you want to. But I wanted to apologize. You’re right. I shouldn’t have acted like that with you, it wasn’t fair. I hope we can talk about it and work on it. I want to make efforts I promise I will. If you just let me… I ordered food. I put it here so you can take it if you want.” Peter gave a kiss on his hand before putting on your door. It was the only way he could kiss you right now.

When he left your building, Peter was desperate. He didn’t what he could do to make you want to see him.

What he didn’t know, was that you went to his apartment to see him too. You couldn’t handle being without him anymore and you were ready to forgive him for everything.

Before he could back to his place, Peter saw on his photo an alert saying there was an accident in the subway. Even if he probably would have gone there no matter out, to save people, Peter ran immediately when he read it. Because it wasn’t any subway.

It was the one connecting your place to his. And Peter suddenly felt that maybe it wasn’t that you didn’t want to see him. You actually did.

When he arrived down there, Peter immediately saw the mess. Two subways collided. He noticed some people managed to escape but somewhere still stuck in. He told those out to go to a safe place. He even helped some going outside. Peter didn’t mind seeing blood, even if it hurt him to imagine these people suffering. But he had to go over it to help them. Some were really hurt, and he had to make efforts to not hurt them even more.

He had saved approximately twenty people and still hadn’t seen you. Peter thought he had panicked for nothing.

Until a saw an arm somewhere he didn’t walk to yet. And it didn’t take him long to recognize your bracelet. He bought it to you on your birthday. It was golden with a little sun in the middle. “Because you’re my sunshine in all this mess [y/n]” he remembered saying when he offered it to you.

Peter immediately ran to you. You were a pretty bad shape. He was sure most of the blood you had on you were from others. You didn’t seem to have any cut. “Please, don’t…” he said while taking your head in his hands. You opened an eye and couldn’t help but smile when you recognized him. “Peter…” you said in a low voice. Even saying one word took you too many efforts.

“I’m so sorry please you have to stay with me…” he was crying behind his mask. He couldn’t even move, too scared to leave you in case you couldn’t handle the pain. He was caressing your cheek gently, but he could see how keeping your eyes open was hard. “No, [y/n] please no…” Right when you closed your eyes, the paramedics came in.

“Take them! Take them immediately!” He said in a voice that he didn’t even recognize. He probably scared them, but he didn’t care. If he could, he would take you himself. But he had no idea how badly hurt you were. So, he just watched them taking care of you. Hoping he would see you again.

Peter went to the hospital as soon as he could. All they could tell him was that you were still sleeping. And they explained your injuries to him, but Peter couldn’t care less about them. You were alive. Right?

“We still don’t know if they’re going to wake up Mister Parker.” The nurse told him with a gentle hand on his shoulder.

Peter spent all his days and nights by your side. Spiderman could go to hell; he would not leave you until you open your eyes again. “Wake up. You have to wake up. Please. For me.” He kept pleading you. He was crying all the time. His voice didn’t sound like it used to. His pleading sounded more desperate each day.

He didn’t want to lose you. Without you, he had nothing.

Without you, he was nothing.

You wake up five days after the accident. Ten days after your fight.

When you opened your eyes, Peter was sleeping. You were the one who pushed the button to call someone. You had a few memories of the subway crashing but none after that. You could be dead you wouldn’t know it.

When the nurses arrived, they brought Peter out of the bedroom to his biggest disappointment. But they wanted to make sure you were alright. And you were. Your injuries were just hurting him but nothing unusual for someone who almost died.

When Peter came back to your room, he was crying. “Pete, I’m fine!” you said immediately, hoping it would be reassuring him. Instead, your boyfriend ran to you and hugged you like he never did. You didn’t dare telling him he was pressing on your bruised rib. “Hey, it’s okay love…” your voice was low, like it was when you were calming down. But it didn’t work. You could hear his sobs against you, and it was breaking your heart. Had you missed anything while you were sleeping?

Peter looked back at you, and you were not sure you had ever seen him this broken since Gwen’s death. “No, it’s not ok. You almost die because I was selfish. I didn’t saw you were trying to accept Gwen’s death too and I kept blaming you for this because it was easier than accepting it was just fate. I didn’t see your love and how much you cared for me and…you almost died because I said some awful shit and…” You stopped by planting a sweet kiss on his lips. You never had such a broken kiss. His lips were trembling against yours, just like his hands that were cupping your face.

“This accident is not your fault; I didn’t almost die because of you Pete.” You said, putting your forehead against his. “And for the rest…we both must make efforts. We are both broken. But we are in love too. We can work this out, right?”

Peter was nodding. But you could see he wasn’t sure of himself. “But I hurt you [y/n]…” he sounded like a child that made a huge mistake. You couldn’t disagree. You were hurt. But being in Peter’s arms was the best feeling in the world. And you could see he had understood your issue.

“And I’m not planning on leaving you for that. If you promise to work on your anger.” He kissed you in a way to promise you he would make this work. You were the one he wanted. And he would make all the efforts in the world.

In the end, you knew you would never be the only person in Peter’s heart. Gwen would always be there, and she deserved it.

But you knew you were the one he wanted for life. And it was enough.

Yandere! Sentient! Twst (Dorm Leaders) - Player decides to delete the app for another game

A/N: Another bunch of asks I decided to group together. I also went ahead and narrowed it down to dorm leaders. If you'd like a specific character, please do say so, thanks!

Minor Chapter 6 spoilers for Idia's part

Phone storage sure is a funky little thing, isn't it? One moment you're sure you have tons of space and the next thing you know, you're staring at your application management screen, deciding what apps will have to face the fate of the dreaded 'uninstall' button. You sighed. Honestly, you really didn't want to do this, but a sacrifice had to be made! Your favourite romance visual novel game just came out and you were anticipating its release for months now! As your [Eye Colour] eyes scanned the screen, you grimaced. Guess Twisted Wonderland will have to go. It's not like you've been playing it much anyways. Plus, the internet had tons of gameplay videos with translations. You were certain you wouldn't miss out on too much.

With a wistful sigh, you smiled as your finger hovered above the button and wished your favourite characters goodbye-

What?

What's going on?

Is your phone lagging or something? The app refused to be deleted! You frowned, repeatedly tapping your phone screen. Should you restart it to see if something went wrong? You groaned, exiting the app systems screen. Maybe manually deleting it off the screen will work?

So you switched to your home screen and held the app icon, prepared to delete it off your phone. You furrowed your eyebrows, there was no option or red 'x' to uninstall it! What is up with your phone?!

Maybe restarting is the only option and so you did.

When your screen turned on again, something was very, very wrong. What kind of virus is this?? Why is the Twisted Wonderland app starting itself? Why do you hear distorted voices from your phone, as if they were trying to reach you?!

Frightened, you backed away from your phone. This is all a glitch, a very bad glitch...right?

Riddle Rosehearts

Riddle was extremely happy. Looks like asking Cater for help regarding phones paid off! Sure, he didn't know anything as complex as taking over someone's phone via magic, but Riddle managed to figure it out after a visit to Sam's shop. He really did have everything in stock.

Really though, you were testing his patience with your insistence in trying to delete the app, to delete him! The nerve! He's tried so hard to convey his feelings to you, and you're trying to replace his love with a bunch of other characters?! Ridiculous! His love is enough, you didn't need some random pieces of code that didn't even have sentience to pretend to love you! At least this time he has all the time in the world to talk to you.

Ah, he should really start preparing the tea! Oh, his heart was beating so fast! To think that he would finally have his very first tea party with you, the actual person behind that pre-generated character!

As he runs about, he wonders, what tea would you like? He hopes you like his choice of tea, and that you stay through the whole party. He would hate if anything were to go wrong...

Leona Kingscholar

Hey now, did you really think he of all people would allow you to get rid of him so simply? You've got to try a little harder than that, herbivore. Not to mention, were you trying to insult his looks and charm by choosing some other character over him, of all people?

As he stares out of your screen, he finds himself chuckling at your panic. That's right, keep looking at him like that. Can you hear it? The roar of a lion echoing through the speakers? Why don't you come closer? The spell he's created has been set in place. His best subject is ancient curses after all, and who knew that knowledge would come in handy in such a modern setting?

That's right, just a little closer and soon, you too, will be right where you belong.

Azul Ashengrotto

Azul had never thought his magic could be used in such a manner, at first. To think that with a little digging, he could easily access the Terms and Conditions of the app and change them to suit his needs! Indeed, this counts as you having signed a contract with him, no? Forget about other games and other fictional characters. He's the only one for you!

It sure is a good thing he foresaw this coming and made a few...edits beforehand, that inevitably sealed you to your fate.

"By agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of the application, you hereby agree to swear absolute loyalty to Azul Ashengrotto of Twisted Wonderland. Should the user download another visual novel or game of similar genre, the user will forfeit their physical existence immediately and will be transported to the digital realm as per the terms and conditions of the contract."

It sure is a good thing these sort of things are barely looked at again after the initial agreement. Ah, you poor, unfortunate soul... You must be so confused as to why your phone is acting up like this. Now come, the moment your finger touches the screen, the magic seal will activate and bring you to him.

Azul has never been so ecstatic. Oh, he just can't wait to have you with him!

Kalim Al Asim

Kalim is, apologetic. He really didn't want to have to frighten you like this but he had to! It just didn't sit right with him to let you go ahead and replace him with some other person!

In Kalim's case, this was rather impulsive of him. There wasn't any big plan to crash your phone, he just...did it out of willpower. Who knew you could summon a whole wave of water to actually influence code? Oh well...it worked out in the end for the young heir.

He hopes you'll forgive him for doing this. If he apologises and explains himself...you would understand, right? He can give anything you desire. Just tell him what you require and he'll buy it for you! Surely some other outsider character won't be able to compare! Besides, as far as he knows, only he's gained sentience, so that's already a bonus.

Vil Schoenheit

You sure are greedy, aren't you? If his love wasn't enough already, you choose to crave the love of others? Sure, Twisted Wonderland isn't meant to be a romance game, but he has been figuring out ways to work around his default lines. It is a shame he had to leave that project aside for a while, since he had to deal with your current, much more urgent, issue - deleting the game to make space for another. If you did that, all his hard work would go to waste!

Curses sure are a nifty thing, though. Using Fairest One Of All certainly was a good move, especially because it's something even he can't dispel until the conditions are satisfied. In this case, your phone was set to malfunction until you give up on trying to delete the application. Think of it as a little nudge in the right direction! Every time you try to click that 'uninstall' button, your phone will reboot on you, reminding you constantly that he will be with you, no matter what it takes.

Idia Shroud

Idia couldn't be anymore proud with the fact that his hacking skills could actually come in handy. To think that interfering with the Fourth Wall was so simple! He just can't believe it! All he had to do was install a virus in your phone, something that he embedded into the application, and voila! Your phone is now incapable of installing applications without his approval!

Sure, he understands your interest in other games and all, he totally gets it! But he's going to allow you to delete him along with the game! Once you calm down, he'll make sure to create a quick maintenance notice as a form of apology. Sure, he's not going to trap you in the game, but he at least wants you to keep him around.

When the game starts back up, you'll notice a new addition to your phone - your very personal Idia version of Siri/Alexa!

Malleus Draconia

Malleus simply cannot understand. Is he not enough? What exactly is he lacking that you have to search out new people, a different game entirely, to entertain your fickle human heart? He simply cannot wrap his head around the reason why you chose to delete Twisted Wonderland of all things! Why not other applications, like your messaging apps? You don't actually need to talk to others when you have him, do you?

Alas, he hasn't always been extremely good with keeping his emotions from affecting the weather. It is so unfortunate that your actions have angered this dragon fae prince; especially because his anger has very well created a storm within the game's code. Breaking it piece by piece - he'll have Lilia tend to it later - so that you won't touch the other games and applications on your device.

Really now, he should have done this much sooner! Who would have guessed how delighted he would feel when he sees you staring at your phone in fear and confusion? Sure, it's not the enchanted and lovestruck look he was hoping for, but that can be worked with. For now, let him relish in your attention, will you?
