Summary: You would assume that Jason Carver is a terrible human being but when he's around his girl, he's nothing was kind, loving, and sweet. This fluffy fanfic shows nothing but love and the joys of love at first sight.

A/N: This is seriously one of the best fanfics I've written so far! I've rewritten Jason in a new light of what I believe he is like as a boyfriend. I've seen little Eddie x reader Fics of him being a terrible boyfriend, but I don't see him like that at all. It's cute, it's heart stopping, is fluffy, it's sweet! And I think you guys will enjoy reading it as I enjoyed writing it! And yes, if you requested any Heartstopper Fics, those WILL be coming out soon! I just thought I should take a break from them, so I don't get bored. Thanks for all of your patience, and I love you guys so, so much! I do hope you love this fic!!

A lot of people thought Jason Carver was an asshole.

And he was.

He was a huge asshole, a dickhead, a piece of shit, and there were more words to describe him.

But to Y/N L/N, those words didn’t matter. To Y/N L/N , Jason Carver was nothing of the sort.

It all started in their freshmen year. Y/N had been doing some routines for cheer, and the basketball team had their first meet of the year. The cheer captains at the time, Victoria Remendes and Lisa Zylowski repeatedly told the squad to pay no attention to the boys as they threw balls into hoops. Needless to say, before Chrissy Cunningham and Y/N L/N were cheer captains, they were completely disobedient.

They made sure to pay all of their attention on the boys as they dunked, shot, ran, yelled, etc. And to the girls, that seemed more fun than practicing toe touches and spread eagles.

But while everyone was focusing on Steve Harrington and his amazing hair, Y/N was focused on a short blonde-haired boy trying to motivate his team. He ran a hand through his hair as he looked away from the boys and into her direction.

That boy was who she would soon find out to be Jason Carver.

Time had stopped. In that split second of a moment, it was just them. He stood still. Not an inch of him was moving at all. The only thing that seemed important in his mind at that time, was her.

“Carver! CARVER!!” Time began again as the coach yelled at him. Not wanting to, he dragged his eyes off of her and onto the coach, who looked displeased. “What are you doing!? The ball was coming right for you, and you completely ignored it! 3 laps around the court! Now!!” The coach ordered rudely. Jason nodded and looked at her again. Y/N watched him as he ran his laps. Whenever he’d be facing her, he’d continue to stare.

It wasn’t until after practice was over, he’d stand outside and wait for her to come out.

In that moment, if love at first sight had ever existed, it existed between them. And from that moment, you would have never seen anyone more in love then them.

Time went on and through the remaining 4 years, they became the schools power couple. Homecoming King and Queen every year, a shared kiss in front of the crowd every time the basketball team won a game, lending her his letterman jacket, teaching him how to do flips. It was perfect.

That’s until Senior year came, at least. And even then, it was still sentimental.

Jason stopped the car once we were in our normal parking space. Chance, Andy, and Patrick were standing by Chance’s car, in which Andy was leaning on. They were waiting on us before entering the gymnasium to get ready for the pep rally before the championship game.

I turned to Jason for a moment, giving him an encouraging smile. On the way here, he was telling me that he was kind of nervous for his speech. Every time we had made it to the championships, Steve Harrington would make the speeches. He would motivate the crowd. This made Jason worried that he wouldn’t be motivating enough.

Jason gave a sheepish smile my way before he opened up his door. I followed and opened up mine.

“Hey Y/N.” Patrick and Chance greeted in sync. I smiled kindly at them.

“Hey boys! You guys excited?” I asked, opening up the backseat door and grabbing my stuff. Andy let out a nervous chuckle.

“Excited, but also anxious.” Andy confirmed. He crossed his arms. “And how about you Miss. L/N. Are you excited?” He asked in return. I shut the door, walking over to them.

“Oh, I am really excited! I just have to get my freshmen girls a little pumped. It’s their first championship game, after all.” I reminded them. Jason, who was listening in on our conversation, slammed the car door shut behind him, putting his bag across a shoulder.

“Oh yeah, we have a few Freshmen that we need to pump up as well. One of them is a benchwarmer though, so it can’t be that hard.” Jason cut in, standing beside me and wrapping an arm around my waist lightly.

Chance laughed. “Yeah! With that speech that you have to give all of Hawkins High, it’s gonna be enough to get everyone all riled up!” He exclaimed, punching Jason lightly in the shoulder. Jason let out an amused breath, his arm tightening a grip on me.

“I sure hope so! It’s gonna be a good one!” Jason began walking with me up to the entrance, our counselor up there guiding everyone to go through the Auditorium doors. Because we were on the teams and were going to be apart of the pep rally, we had to enter through the locker room doors.

There was only excitement between the 4 boys. They were buzzing with happiness the entire way there. Jason’s anxiety levels seemed to have gone down and were replaced with confidence. By the time we had gotten to the doors, he was nothing but smiles.

“Alrighty babe. This is where we part. I’ll see you in there.” Jason gave my lips a peck before he and the boys walked into the locker room. My waist felt naked without his arm there, but I turned around and walked through the girl's locker room doors.

In there were my cheerleaders. The Freshmen girls, and some of the Sophomore ones, were bouncing their legs in anticipation while the others were chatting up a storm. Some girls were helping out other girls, while others were finishing up their suits. Chrissy, my fellow cheer captain, was talking to our coach. I walked over.

“Good morning, Coach!” I exclaimed, placing my bag down on one of the benches closer to where the coach and Chrissy were talking. Chrissy turned around to face me, a huge smile making its way onto her face at the sight of me.

“Good morning, Miss. L/N. Right on time, which is unusual.” The coach gave me a smirk, raising a brow. I scoffed.

“Oh, come on coach. I haven’t been late to a meet since early Sophomore year!” I replied, sitting down and beginning to tighten my shoelaces. The coach laughed, putting her checkboard under her right arm.

“I know, L/N. It’s always fun to tease you.” The Coach paused, looking around at all of the girls in the room. Chrissy sat down next to me, placing her hands in her lap. She began to fiddle with her fingers. I frowned a little bit, noticing her anxiety. “Anyways. Cunningham, L/N! I need you guys to warm up the girls a little bit! See if they remember the routine! Maybe say a few ‘Steve Harrington’ worth speeches to get them on their feet!” The Coach walked into the office across from where we were sitting. Chrissy and I looked at each other before we burst out in laughter. I tightened a bit more of my other shoe before we got up to face the girls.

“Cheerleaders!” Chrissy and I yelled at the exact same time. The buzzing stopped and everyone turned to face us. It was in that exact moment when Chrissy and I realized that we had no idea what to say. She looked at me with wide eyes and we started giggling nervously. We waited for the other to start, but neither one of us did. I took the lead.

“It’s been a busy year for all of us! First, we had tryouts, then Football games, meets, competitions, we’ve had to attend golf games; for some really weird reason.” This made the girls laugh. I smiled. “But now! We have the championship game, and it’s our job to get out there and warm up our school so that those boys who have worked extremely hard to get to this point, can get out there and show Hawkins who’s boss! But remember that we have worked as hard as them! We’ve practiced routines day and night! We’ve won Gold 5 times this year through competitions! We had to make it to every game this year just to do flips and chant cheers! This pep rally isn’t only for their achievements, but for ours too! This pep rally isn’t only because the basketball boys made it to the championship, but because we as a whole made it to the championship! Without us wonderful ladies being there to cheer our school on! To wear our school with pride, we wouldn’t be here.” The girls clapped for me. Some cheered. I turned around to face Chrissy, who gave me a thumbs up. I cleared my throat.

“I’d also like to thank the marching band! I see some of those girls here with us right now. Hi girls!” They waved to me. I laughed nervously. “Thank you, guys, for playing music to keep the crowd in an upbeat mood! You guys are seriously great, and I love each and every one of you! But I’d also like to thank my girls. You guys have come so, so far this year and I’m so proud to be here right now and to have been your captain for these last 2 years. You guys all have so much optimism and confidence within you and being able to cheer next to you guys just makes me super emotional. I love you guys so much. You’re my family.” I paused another time, holding back some tears. Awe’s and “I love you’s” made their way through the crowd. I took a breath and smiled wider. “Now, let’s go out there, and show Hawkins who runs this show!” I yelled. The girls cheered excitedly, and we all exchanged hugs and last-minute things before exiting the locker room and in file, making our way to the Auditorium doors. The boys were already there, waiting for us to go in first to perform.

Jason was in the front of them. He turned to me and smiled brightly. I walked to him. He held his hands out for me to take. They were warm.

“Good luck out there, baby. I love you.” He said, giving my lips another peck. I giggled.

“You too. I’ll see you when it’s done. I love you.” I let go of his hands and Chrissy and I walked into the Auditorium together, leading the girls one by one.

Jason’s speech was amazing. That was the most excited I had seen Hawkins in a long time. But my favorite part was when he looked right in my eyes and said, “Y/N, I love you babe.” I just blew a kiss his way. The girls all surrounded me, squealing excitedly. Chance, Andy, and Patrick were all looking at me and pointing to him, making kissy faces and mocking movements. The students from the school who did notice, laughed or chuckled from their silliness.

And to my word, I did see Jason after the rally. He lifted me up and spun me around, complimenting me and kissing all over my face. I laughed and just kissed him softly. Not like one of those quick pecks that we shared before, but a true and honest kiss. My heart had never fluttered even more.

It’s as if every time that I had looked into Jason’s brilliant blue eyes, I had fallen deeper into the rabbit hole called love. He put me down and kissed me again, drunk from how my mouth felt against his. This one lasted longer. It was more passionate. He pulled away to take a breath. My arms stayed around his neck while his hung loosely around my waist.

“We should skip 2nd period and just stay here...” He mumbled, looking down at me with admiration, adoration, and love. I chuckled, amused.

“And skip Mr. Hauser’s AP Lit class? No way.” I disagreed. Jason took a breath, tightening his grip around my waist.

“Oh, come on. I thought you hated that class.” Jason noted from memory of all those times I complained about the course. I pursed my lips, dragging myself closer to him.

“Because if I even miss one lesson, I’ll get an F in the class because I’ll have no idea what’s going on.” I claimed. Jason scoffed.

“You have all spring break to catch up. Come on, just this once? For me?” Jason gave me puppy eyes, putting out his bottom lip, and pouting. He tilted his head, blinking slowly. I laughed, leaning my face closer to his.

“No, Jase. It’s final. I can’t skip this period.” I declared. Jason tsk’d away his pouty face and replaced it with a smile.

“Okay fine. You don’t have to skip this period. But you owe me!” He pointed out. I smiled, my lips centimeters away from his.

“I owe you with what?” I asked, my lips grazing against his as I talked. He leaned in a little bit more.

“With your time.” He placed his lips on mine, dragging my body closer to his so that way every part of us was touching. Chest to chest. Hip to hip. Feet to feet. And lastly, lip to lip. He tried pulling my body closer, as if we weren’t already close enough. The kiss between us full of love and intimacy. We didn’t want to stop. We wanted it to just be us, standing here forever. Nobody else but us in the world. No classes, no assignments, no people, no work, no lectures, no games, no nothing but us.

We pulled away slowly, a very small string of saliva connecting us. I hadn’t realized how heated that kiss had gotten. I wiped the saliva off my lip and Jason just stared at me. I stared back. He took a breath and smiled.

“Alrighty, since you’re not skipping…” He began to shuffle off the letterman that he had put on earlier, handing it to me. “Just so that you have a piece of me with you in Hauser’s.” He winked at me and I gently took his letterman, rubbing my thumbs softly against the fabric before putting it on. There was a softness in his eyes. He put his hands on my waist.

“Oh, I love it when I see you wearing this…” He mumbled, looking up and down my body, taking in how I looked in it. It’s as if this were my last time seeing him. He looked up at my face, taking in a sharp inhale. He placed a hand on my cheek to cup it. “You look beautiful, babe...” He complimented. He pulled me in for a hug. I laid my head on his chest, closing my eyes. His heartbeat fast, his breathing was irregular. It was always like that when he was with me.

I pulled away first, smiling up at him through my lashes. “I love you.” I announced softly. He kissed my forehead.

“I love you so, so much more…”

I walked to O’Donnell's class, my heart beating out of my chest. I felt giddy and I couldn’t help but smile as I walked throughout the school. I almost felt like skipping.

No matter how many times I had seen my girlfriend through a day, I could never help but feel all warm and full of excitement. She was my heart and soul. My heart beat for her and only for her.

I waved at Principal Higgins as he walked by, something I never would have don’t know a regular basis. Everyone in this school HATED his ass, but I was in too good of a mood to be bothered by it.

I walked into O’Donnell's, and the bell rang as soon as I got in there. She sighed, marking the board to show that I was present.

“Almost late again, Mr. Carver.” She revealed in an annoyed tone. I smiled politely at her.

“I’m sorry ma’am. I was talking to my girlfriend for a second.” I explained. She stared at me, not surprised.

“It was longer than a second, dude.” My friend Cooper spoke in a teasing tone. I held back a laugh, letting out an amused breath.

“Just sit down, Mr. Carver.” O’Donnell spoke monotonous. I shot finger guns at her, taking my spot across from Eddie Munson, the school freak.

Now you see, I didn’t have much of a problem with Eddie...

That’s a lie. I did. He played a game that involved satanism and cultism, and he acted crazy. He also had a massive crush on Y/N during our Junior year, which I wasn’t too happy to hear about. Eddie and I didn’t share many conversions, nor had I wanted to have them with him. But other than that, he wasn’t really much of a bother to me.

In the middle of class, Eddie had fallen asleep. I would have fallen asleep too because O’Donnell’s natural monotone voice could do that, but I needed to pass the final exam to graduate... so I would rather have not missed out.

I guess Y/N was right about not skipping class, though, I really wanted us to. It would have meant I wouldn’t have had to sit next to Eddie and would have been able to spend time with someone I loved and enjoyed.

It felt like ages until the bell rang, and I immediately got up and grabbed my stuff, heading immediately to my locker, which was across the school.

Y/N was already there with Chance because they had shared the AP Lit class together. I smiled brightly, my heart beginning to pump harder against my chest. I pulled her in for a peck on the lips.

“Damn Ms. O’Donnell can talk! No wonder her husband divorced her!” I stated, keeping an arm around her while I began to do my locker combination. She lightly tapped my chest.

“That’s rude, Jason.” She commented. I scoffed in amusement, opening my locker and putting my stuff in there.

“It’s true, though!” I excused. She looked over to Chance so she could get back up. Chance just put his hands up in defense.

“Aye don’t include me in this! I’m just a bystander!" He defended. Y/N laughed. Oh, how I loved her laugh. It was as if the angels were blessing my ears every time she let out one of those joyous sounds.

Her light tugs on my shirt had dragged my attention back to reality. “Come on Jase! The rest of the boys and my cheer squad are waiting for us!” She insisted stubbornly. I slammed my locker shut, not even bothering to reset my combination, before I wrapped my arm tighter around her and walked towards the lunchroom.

“Oh! Here’s your letterman back! I don’t trust myself wearing it at lunch just in case Lorelai Marksman decides to host a food fight at our lunch table again.” She joked. I smiled and took back my jacket, putting it on. It made me sad to see her not wearing it anymore, but it made me happier when I got a whiff of her perfume on my jacket.

“I swear to gosh I need a girlfriend!” Chance complained as we entered the cafeteria doors. I laughed, shaking my head.

“I could introduce you to Stephanie Walters. She’s one of my cheerleaders. I’m sure she’d love to go out with you or get to know you!” Y/N offered kindly. Chance’s face brightened.

“You’d do that for me? You’re seriously the best!” He complimented. I bit my lip. I felt a little jealous of Chance’s comment, but I knew he meant nothing of it. I slid it away and replaced it with a happy thought. The thought that Y/N was kind enough to offer Chance to get to know one of her friends. That takes some serious trust.

We walked to the lunch table. The cheer squads table was right next to ours, but they had pushed it closer to our table so that they could talk to us easier. Y/N sat at the girls table for a few moments, chatting with them and talking to Chrissy Cunningham. She was laughing and having fun. I couldn’t help but admire her.

How her eyes sparkled when she smiled or laughed, how her plump lips would curve up, how her hair laid softly against her shoulders, how her face would gently lay back into a neutral state, how she’d listen intently when one of her teammates was talking to her, how her soft breathing made her chest go up and down, how her fingers would play with each other. I loved everything about this girl. I was crazy for her. She was literally the definition of perfect. She was mine.

“Jason! Jason!!” Andy shook me hard enough to get me out of my daze.

“Huh?” I asked, concerned. Andy pointed a finger to Eddie Munson, who was now standing on top of his lunch table.

“Eddie’s at it again.” He warned me. I rolled my eyes in disbelief. How many times would this guy do this before he graduated? If he graduated, that is.

“Or a game where you TOSS BALLS INTO LAUNDRY BASKETS!!” Eddie yelled at us. All my happy thoughts of Y/N went away as I stood up.

“You want something, freak?” I called out. I stared at him intensely. Anger intensifying within me. What did this guy want? Eddie gave me the devil horns and stuck out his tongue.

Y/N called out my name. “Jason!” I looked over to her, my expression softening. “He’s just trying to get you riled up. And don’t call him that!” She demanded. I took a breath, dragging my vision away from her and putting it back on Eddie.

Eddie smirked at me, sharing glances between Y/N and I. Him staring at her was enough to get my blood boiling. He put his hands down. I turned away from him. “Prick…” I muttered under my breath. Y/N grabbed my hand before I sat down. She grabbed her chair and dragged it to where I was sitting, sitting across from me.

“Are you alright?” She asked, staring with those caring eyes that almost made my heart hop out of my body. I nodded, running my free hand through my hair.

“Yeah, I’m… I’m alright,” I stared at Eddie, pointing a finger at him. “It’s just that that guy gets me so angry. It’s just something about him.” I explained, frustrated. Y/N just nodded, understanding what I meant.

“Yeah. I get it. But that’s really no reason to call him a freak.” I was about to speak but she put a finger to my mouth. I closed my mouth, letting her speak. “I’ve talked to Eddie and he’s actually really nice. He’s not satanic or creepy. He’s normal just like you and me.” She told me. I took a breath, swallowing my disagreements.

“Like I said before, it’s whatever. I have my girl,” I moved her chair, so it was directly next to mine, and I wrapped an arm around her tightly. “I have my team. We’re gonna win this championship game! And we’re gonna take our trophy.” The boys cheered in agreement. Y/N joined them. I stared at her with more love in my eyes than ever before. Where did I deserve her?

A lot had happened this week. After we had won the championship game and I had headed over to Benny’s with the basketball team, the cops had shown up the next morning to ask me questions about Chrissy. She had been found dead at Eddie Munson’s house.

I was heartbroken. Why would Eddie have done such a thing? My heart hurt. It shattered into a thousand pieces. I was angry. I couldn’t have believed that I had defended him! I talked to him! I was nice to him! Chrissy was too! She couldn’t hurt a soul! But he hurt hers! He killed my best friend!

Jason promised me that we would find Eddie and get our answers. We looked for Eddie for days and when we had found him, that’s when Patrick had died.

Jason and Patrick were swimming up to Eddie, who was in a boat, and Jason had seen Patrick lift up into the air, and he saw all of his limb's break, his jaw break, and his eyes pop into the back of his head, before he plopped back down into the water.

We were convinced that Eddie was apart of some satanic cult. That he was using some creepy satanic magic. That’s until I took it into my own hands and decided to find Eddie myself. Jason came with me.

We found him in his trailer with Robin Buckley, Dustin Henderson, Max Mayfield, and the traitor, Lucas Sinclair. Jason went to attack him, but Lucas and Dustin held him off. Yelling and screaming was heard between Jason and the boys trying to defend their friend. I just stood there, staring at Eddie. Fear, anger, and sadness in my eyes. He had the same look.

“I didn’t kill them…” He mumbled. That’s when I broke down. Jason immediately stopped fighting against them, and went to my aide, holding me. I looked up, and that’s when a saw it.

I saw a huge hole in the ceiling, showing Steve Harrington shaking Nancy Wheeler. They were upside down. I screamed. Jason, concerned and fearful, held me tighter, asking me what was wrong. I just pointed up and hit my face into his chest, screaming and crying.

Jason looked up. At first, he was just shocked, but after a while he screamed as well. It took Dustin a long time, but he slowly calmed us down.

“I’m about to tell you something that you might not believe. But first, I need to get them out.” He told us. Jason looked at Eddie and then to me, cradled in his arms. He nodded.

Dustin told us everything. About what happened to Will Byers in 1983. Barbara Holland. Billy Hargrove. Heather. Starcourt. He told us about Vecna and what happened to our friends. He told us everything. And the more he told, the more Jason called bullshit. I, on the other hand, believed it. I mean.. a PORTAL was right before our eyes!

No longer was Eddie our enemy, but he felt like an alliance. I felt bad for being so angry at him. I felt sad that he ended up in a situation like this. A scared guy, in a scary situation. I would have hated being him. But I also felt at peace because I got the closure I needed. I no longer felt guilty.

After that, we swore never to tell anyone. And we left. That was it. We just left. If this Vecna thing was as bad as it seemed, we didn’t want to die without spending our last moments together.

So we went back to my house and just laid there. Contemplating what just happened. No words were exchanged other than a few mumbles and sweet nothings whispered in between us. My mind thought of Chrissy and how she died in a terrible way. How I never got to say goodbye to her or Patrick.

After that day, I never saw Eddie again.

But there was a mutual understanding between Jason, their group, and I, that Eddie had died heroically. He had died saving the world.

And then as if it couldn’t have come sooner, graduation came. Jason and I held hands as we sat next to each other in the audience of Seniors. My cheer squad up in the stands screaming and yelling as I got called up to get my Diploma. Jason’s family yelling for me too.

Jason hugged me tightly as I went back, kissing my hair and rubbing his thumb down my back. His heart was still beating fast. I guess thats how I knew he’d always love me.

At the end of the ceremony, there was a silence. Higgins spoke of Chrissy, Patrick, and Eddie. He spoke of a kid named Fred. I couldn’t help but let a few tears down my cheeks as Higgins gave his speech. I thought of the last few moments I had with Chrissy. My last "I love you" to her. My last laugh with Patrick. How Fred was an amazing journalist. I thought of Eddie and the sad scenario he had been in. I remember how he had made school more tolerable and interesting. I also thought of Billy, Heather, and Barb. We had lost so many people through the years. So many good, and amazing people.

Jason noticed my tears and wiped them away softly. “They’re in a better place. We’ll see them again in heaven.” He reminded me softly. Jason had a way with his words. I smiled kindly. It made my heart leap a little at the thought of seeing Chrissy again. Of laughing with Patrick again. Holding them so tight that I'd never let go.

But right now, with Jason’s arm wrapped around my waist. Standing next to my class. My friends. My found family. The love of my life. I could have never asked for anything better.

Instead of throwing our caps up, Jason and I exchanged each other’s, and kissed while caps came raining down over us.

Jason was an asshole. He was a dickhead. But I loved him. And he loved me. He was my dickhead.

(disclaimer i havent seen or read rwrb) heartstopper is a bit cringe but tbh i love it bc of that… i’ll never love wtvr nick n charlies ship name is the way i love byler but the show itself makes me so happy in a way st (usually) doesnt. maybe thats bc i havent been exposed to enough queer tv so i just love it wherever i see it but as a queer teen in a mega conservative us state it feels so hopeful/joyful esp compared to all the trauma will goes thru in st bc of his queerness (or wtvr various homophobic things happened in young royals i didnt watch the whole thing)

not that i dont love st (my blog is byler themed lol) but thats my unasked-for defense of cringe gay tv/movies. overall i just want MORE queer tv shows whether theyre cringe n saccharine or ultra serious n depressing :) would love to hear ur thoughts if u want to share or u can let this marinate in ur inbox or delete it w/o reading. peace and love !

and im so glad it brings other people joy!! when i say my own opinions that is not me saying the show/movie is objectively bad. i totally see the appeal of a happy gay show like heartstopper, i personally just prefer things that arent lighthearted and romcommy feeling. like my favorite genres are scifi, horror/thriller, and murder. i like deep and dark shit thats not always boiled down just to a ship.

and also i wanna make it clear that when i say “serious tone” that does NOT equate to depressing!!!!!!!! i am NOT saying i dont like happy endings. it just means i want it treated in more of a real way and not romcommy. i dont like the cutsey stuff like the doodles in heartstopper and how they filmed the phone calls in the first bit of rwrb (i know you havent seen it but just trust me). for me personally things like that just completely take me out of the movie like i just want to watch it authentically like it would have happened irl and thats how more dramatic and serious toned shows/movies are always shot.

i also tend to like my gay fiction to be within a much huger story. a good example of this is the show, the wilds. that show is about a severly fucked up social experiment involving 8 girls and a staged plane crash that leaves them stranded on an isolated island and two of the girls end up together. i LOVED how they wrote that. amazing show highly recommend. this is also one of the reasons i love byler. its a part of a much bigger story and its treated seriously while still being cute and beautiful. plus im 10000% sure itll have a happy ending so again, serious in tone does noooot mean depressing.

thanks for being respectful in this ask and not just trying to change my mind or act like im not allowing anybody else to enjoy what i dont enjoy. and i will say since you do love heartstopper, youd probably love rw&rb and i highly recommend it! and if you want a list of more queer fiction recs i can def give you that (but obviously mine will be less lighthearted than heartstopper).

#i already have one of sapphic fiction somewhat recently you could scroll through my anon tag and find it #eden answers

I am a ravenclaw (dumbest one to be born in the last 15 years)

I am a child of apollo (but moon/star coded)

I am an introvert ☺ But more comfortable w/ online conversations

I kin a LOT of characters 💀 I'm not even gonna start

I am from the balkans! Greece, to be exact

I have a sense of humor that allows me to joke abt a lot of things. For example if something happens to me i'm gonna joke abt it

MOST IMPORTANTLY: I am a very sensitive person. I take everything (and by that i mean everything) seriously. So please don't go around insulting me then say "it was a joke". It WILL be unsuccesful. I've had enough of those already.

SOOOOOO, yeah that was it! Thanks for sticking around to read this lovely piece of crap that i wrote on my pc while i should be in bed bc it's a school day and i'm *gasp* a minor :) BAIIIIIII

[applesandbannas747]

same anon as before but thank u for the interesting response! and i’m sorry in advance for this long venting lol, but honestly i’m just really frustrated because i think fence could be as popular and mainstream as projects like check please or heartstopper if 1) there was good marketing for it, 2) if the releasing of the issues wasn’t so puzzling, and 3) if the storyline was progressing in a natural way.

rise makes no sense in context of the novels at all and im just? if they were going to have tie-in novels they should have been used to progress character and relationship development, not create an alternate world that’s never going to be addressed. even putting aside gross mischaracterization the novels literally cannot be canon so they’re just published for? no good reason i can see? they could have prequels (seiji and jesse or harvard and aiden pre-series) or been about the team bonding/getting better at fencing, or focused on side characters that won’t get as much focus in the comics (eugene! if he’s mostly being side-lined in the comics the novels could have been his time to shine instead of him being even more sidelined. or even bobby and dante or kally and tanner). there’s definitely a lot of characters in the comics and if it was getting overwhelming the novels could have picked up that slack but they didn’t so their purpose mystifies me — there was also clearly no reason to have nicholas and seiji as pov characters in those books because srb (and i do adore all srb’s other work so this is hard for me to say) was terrible at writing them. when she was good she was good (which makes me think if there had been more editing the novels could have been better) but when she was bad she was very very bad. since she was even worse at writing eugene i guess i should be glad eugene didn’t have a pov. but seriously if the novels were mainly just haiden it could have just been haiden pov.

idk i just used to love fence so much and always noticed there was never a huge following for it, which is okay because the small fence fandom is great!! but i’ve always thought it could have had a bigger audience. there is so much promise in the first issues of fence — kings row competing against exton, the revelation of the truth about nicholas, the reactions and results from that, character development for all the main characters, relationship development for nichoji & haiden, the team actually Becoming a team & the idea of seiji nicholas and eugene being the fencing team after aiden and harvard graduate. but i feel like we’re never going to see any of that. page time is spent on things that aren’t as important instead, and then it takes ages for the next issue/volume and like you said it doesn’t feel coherent or connected to the other issues anymore. it confuses me that all the edges in fence r being sanded down and that the interesting promises in it are constantly being put off.

i’m sorry for talking about this sm i have not been successful in getting anyone into fence irl 😭 i hadn’t read rise or the novels until this month and i reread vol 1-4 before i read the new stuff and it made me very nostalgic

Hi again! lmfao dude no need to ever apologize to me for vents about Fence because I am forever pontificating about it. I agree that Fence has (or, rather, had) the potential to be really popular to a wide audience and I think you hit the nail on the head. And so much of it is just such easy fixes--like putting any effort into marketing lol or when releasing the compiled issues as volumes, giving them all distinct covers and names would have been SO helpful. Reusing the issue covers for the volumes was a mistake (and again, that's something marketing should have been all over!!). and the storyline. oh man. yeah. that ship has sailed and I've had mental breakdowns about it--but if we'd stayed true to the original concept of Fence and BOOM and Pacat put more effort into reaching a wider audience, it could have been big. Another consideration here, of course, is the content-to-hiatus ratio, which loses a ton of fans, but I maintain that if BOOM had their shit together, they could have fixed that problem too! and it's so frustrating

GOD RIGHT??? The novels came in, ruined Fence, and then aren't even actually canon because they don't actually fit in the universe??? My theory is that since Pacat is a SRB superfan, he kind of let her go overboard and realized after the novels were published and he had to move his story forward post-Disarmed that he'd fucked up giving so much freedom to her. Because they called it canon--and he still says it's '80% canon' but it couldn't have happened. So the point of the novels was basically for Pacat to read fanfiction from his favorite author of his OCs--it did nothing positive for the story, the characters, the franchise, or the fans. and LITERALLY!!! I've always thought doing a prequel for the tie-ins made more sense. Like following the fencing team with Harvard, Aiden, Kally, and Tanner would have been so fun, or focusing on Kally and Tanner or Bobby and Dante would have been fun and would have left room for actual plot progression!! It was pure selfishness on the authors' part to do the novels how they did them. And if Pacat would father fangirl over SRB than write a meaningful story, that's his right, but it still bugs me that there was clearly no thought given to the consequences of the novels. So instead of dealing with them, we ignore them and pretend that they're still '80% canon' to make ourselves feel better for our oopsie. hahaaa I have nothing nice to say about SRB or her writing. I don't think she got anything right in Fence--except for hinting Eugesse, which you know she only did because she knew it was popular in the fandom and she wanted the hype and baited us with it lmfao But! I've always had issues with her even before she touched Fence--her blatant sexism in In Other Lands was disturbing to me when I read it (shaming and looking down on feminine traits isn't Woke or Revolutionary just because you assigned those traits to men in your "badass feminist society" and had all the women be grossly sexist and predatory) so it's not just me being an asshole because she ruined my favorite thing in the world <3 But I know she's very beloved among her fans and I'm sorry that she failed you in Fence when you love her other works so much. If there was one mercy from the novels, it was the lack of a Eugene POV even if it further proves he's not really part of the team/a main character...unfortunately that's a fair trade jkdfah

I always thought Fence deserved a bigger following than it ever got--and maybe having a bigger fanbase and more money being thrown at it would have helped BOOM commit to buying enough ahead to let Pacat and Jo actually work on it consistently and put out content more regularly. It really was setting itself up to be so fun and full of tropes the gays LOVE. i mean, sports 'manga' that's actually queer? All the fun tropes with rivals and 'becoming a team'? The classic character archetypes used smartly and effectively? I genuinely think it would have appealed to all the people who love Check Please and Heartstopper and Yuri on Ice. And it still does, I guess, but I feel like if Fence gets popular now, I'd be a bit sad to see all that love centered around a version of Fence I don't like (but that is pure selfishness lmfao I fully admit it). I just so love/d all the edges and conflicts in Fence and it's sad to see them sanded down in canon and resolved of screen.

LMFAO my dude I am sorry for rambling so much at you twice in a row now! Anyway, I'm always here to talk Fence uwu even though i can be harsh and unpleasant about things i don't like jskdfha

Things to do when bored because seriously

Hi guys, this is my first ever post and I’ve been hella bored since school has officially ended for me (like what? a month now but whatevs I’m still bored) and I’ve looked everywhere for things to actually do when I’m bored but nothing really *piques* my interests. I guess this is up to you guys if you want to do it or not, I am simply here to give my ideas on what I do to pass time and some generic things, but I’ll try to spice things up. Enjoy : D

1. Go to pinterest and make a vision board of your dream life (You could add the house/job/type of love/pets/car/places to travel/frienship groups that you would want).

2. If you’re desperate like me and want to move out, you can also create a vision board of your dream home in pinterest (add the furniture you like and what you would  want to include in your future home such as cool rooms like a secret library or a movie theatre).

3. Go on roblox - like seriously, it’s so fun. Even better with friends, huddle up on skype or discord and game all night, or day. Or play by yourself. Some good recs are Project Lazarus (A zombie shooting game), Hide and Seek (Deadass what the name says), Speed draw! (A drawing competition game) and Speed run 4 (Basically what the name says).

4. Download wattpad and read some weird fanfic, I haven’t touched Wattpad in a long time but I know it has some weird fanfics there, and I bet you’ll laugh so hard. I haven’t done this but go ahead and write “weird fanfics” and it’ll come up an example of funny fics might be with the weirdest people like “Tom holland and Jeffree Starr” (that’s acc terrifying). I remember one being “Trump and Obama fanfic”.

5. Go on Virtual Piano and play some tunes -  Even if you’re not a pro at playing the piano just try to find the right note of the song and play the melody, or press a bunch of notes lol. It’s fun and honeslty you feel like a musician lmao.

6. Write a letter to your future self. Do it rn. It’s honestly such a good thing to do, not only do you waste time but it’s literally a time capsule where you open it in like 5 years or longer. You’ll look back and think of how much times have changed, plus it’s really meaningful. You can write about certain topics like about how much have you think you’ve changed in 5 years time and guess about how you look like in the letter, or If you got your dream job in 5 years. Or did you meet the love of your life by then? It’s up to you.

7. Take time to actually watch something fun. Please do. Either it be a documentary or a movie or a gameplay on youtube - do it. Idk if it’s just me but I don’t like watching videos, especially movies for some reason. I just like to skip parts because I want to get straight into the action and watch the plot but if you actually find the right video to watch then automatically you’re hooked. Go buy tickets to that movie you wanted to watch in theaters or watch the show you wanted too all along on Netflix. Or binge watch some old childhood shows. Some recs I can give is Heartstopper (LGTBQ+ show), The walking dead game (Zombies duhh), Brooklyn 99 (Detectives + comedy in a nutshell) and Wild babies (Wild life docuseries) and Totally spies (Childhood cartoons).

8. Make a face mask - I don’t really like putting on face masks (I don’t like the wet and cold texture on my face) but there are a lot of pros of making one and lathering it up on your face. You can get rid of your acne and pimples, it rejuvinates your skin and makes your face look shinier. Go on google and search for a real face mask that you can DIY.

9. Make a list of countries you wanna visit and make an itinerary of it. Wanna travel soon? Good time to do this when you’re bored, am I right? Look into countries like Spain, South Africa, Vietnam or Colombia and go into detail about the things you want to do there and even plan out the hotels and activities you’ll do and go to. Put in gorgeous pictures of the place or some video links to remind you of countries you need to go to ASAP hehe. 

10.  Make a survival plan for fictional events, like a zombie apocolypse or an alien invasion. I am obsessed with zombie apocolypses (Mainly because of TWDG lol) so it’s fun to think of ways to escape and the gear you might wear, how you’d escape with your group of friends and what you might bring along with you. E.g if I was in a zombie apocalypse i’d wear leather jackets, bring a pocket knife, my transport would be a bicycle etc. If you want to, make up a mini story about the fictional event and how you would survive!

Alright, that’s all that I have because that’s all that I’ve done during my holiday, no fr LMAO. Hopefully that’s a bit different than your usual ‘things to do when you’re bored’ list, well not quite, I do have some already known things on the list but i’d recommend you to do it. Ik you guys might think that some things on the list are boring but for me I had lots of fun doing it, so hopefully they are to you lot. Have fun not being bored, toodles :P

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

“Magnus, are you okay?”

He wanted to laugh at the words. Magnus hasn’t known what it meant to be okay in a long time.

Other people wished to be happy.

But not Magnus.

His deepest desire was to be just okay.

“Do you think some people don’t deserve to be here?” He whispered.

“What are you talking about? I’m worried for you. Talk to me.” Clary asked worriedly.

“I just..I..Before Alec,” Magnus said tearfully. “Before Alec, I was seeing someone. I really liked her, but she made me feel as if…as if I was a burden. Like she did not even want me to exist.”

He wiped his eyes, but the tears kept flowing.

“Hey, hey, I’m here. Take your time.” Clary said gently and took his hand in hers.

“And now Alec and Ragnor have been getting into fights because of me and..and..maybe she was right. Maybe I do make life difficult for other people. Maybe I really am just a burden and don’t deserve to be here.” He sobbed.

Clary put a hand around his shoulder and pulled him in for a tight hug. “You don’t. You don’t make my life difficult.” She said while rubbing her hands up and down her back.

Magnus clutched harder at her and sobbed for what felt like a very long time.

“Totally unrelated to this conversation but what was her name?” Clary added seriously. “I won’t punch her or anything.”

He chuckled softly.

“I don’t really condone violence.”

Clary pulled back and grumbled. “Not even against people who have hurt you?”

Magnus shook his head.

He didn’t.

He knows that some people are assholes and deserve to get punched in the face.

Magnus just can never do it himself. Or stand by and watch while it happens.

This is just who he is.

“Ugh.” Clary groaned. “Fine. I have something else for now.”

Magnus gave her a tearful smile. “Cookie cream?”

“Cookie cream”

- Malec Heartstopper AU where internal monologues might get angstier, but brotps will be growing stronger.

10 Characters and 10 Fandoms

Alright! I got tagged by @wen-kexing-apologist

Rules: name 10 of your favourite characters from 10 different fandoms, then tag 10 people to do the same.

Charlie - Heartstopper

I like charlie because he's so strong and confident but also insecure. He knows he's gay and he's mostly comfortable with that. He's also mentally ill and doesnt want to bother people or be seen as someone who needs to be taken care of. He's insecure about a lot of things but he also stands up for himself when Harry tries to apologize for his behavior. Charlie knows he doesnt have to forgive Harry for everything he's done. I love him, he's trying his best together with Nick.

Ida - Kieta Hatsukoi / My Love Mix-Up!

Ida is demi! I will take every opportunity to shout that because that's seriously my headcanon for him. I love that Ida was so serious and respectful when Aoki confessed to him. Ida probably never considered dating a guy (or even a girl probably) but he knows it's a big deal and he doesn't want to just ignore ignore the fact that it's possible that he likes a guy. Like he's being so open minded about this because he doesn't know yet what his preference is so he's going to think about if he can like a guy back for the first time here. I just love how considerate Ida is towards Aoki.

Karl - Gaya Sa Pelikula / Like In The Movies

I love Karl because he's trying so hard. He doesn't want to disappoint his parents and he is really struggling with coming to terms with his sexuality. Karl feels so real, I love that moment where he kisses Vlad and finds out his Uncle saw that and freaks the fuck out. He wasn't ready for that. He was comfortable in their own little bubble and he's not ready to come out of that yet. And that's fair! That's valid! And little shoutout to Vlad; I love that Vlad respects that too while not wanting that for himself.

Longtae - A Tale Of A Thousand Stars

I love Longtae because he was the only one in that village that tried to ask Tian to really explain everything. When he heard the whole story he told Tian that it's not his fault. He was on Tian's side like no one else was. He made Tian feel a little less lonely and like he had a real friend there when everyone else started to hate him.

Woo Young Woo - Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Do I even need to explain why I love my favorite whale obsessed attorney? It doesn't matter that she's my only whale obsessed attorney. I love her and her weird and random whale talks. I love that she's very aware of her autism and that she knows how people view her and that she doesn't get social things sometimes. She's always so hard-working even in the romance department because once she thinks that she likes Junho she does everything she can to figure out if she really likes him in her own unique way and it's just really sweet to watch.

Mafuyu - Given

"I'm not lonely" is the first line in the anime and it's the line I think about most often when I think about this show. I love the anime and manga more than the live action so mostly talking about those. Mafuyu is such a sad puppy in the beginning. He says he doesn't know how to express himself which I find very relatable. He closed himself off from his old friends and takes Yuuki('s guitar) with him wherever he goes. However once he meets Uenoyama he starts to open up more. The manga recently ended and I have read it all. I liked how Mafuyu and Ugetsu formed this unexpected friendship. Mafuyu really grew even though he's still the same quiet kid. He's quiet but feels so much and he loves so much and he is s grieving boy who found someone new without properly getting over Yuuki. And of course he never will completely get over Yuuki. He will move on and live his life but Yuuki will always have a place in his heart and Uenoyama knows that.

Oh Aew - I Told Sunset About You & I Promised You The Moon

I love Oh Aew because he's so real for wanting to pursue something he loves while also having a back up plan for if it doesn't work out. I love that he's insecure about his future and in the end doesn't know exactly what he wants. Teh has always knows he wants to do acting and he's talented and he can do it but Oh Aew has never been that confident about it. Oh Aew thinks more rationally about his choices and his future. I love Oh in IPYTM too and how he loves himself enough to make the choices he makes. That's vague enough to say what I wanted to say without spoiling IPYTM lol

Shin Daon - Light On Me

I love him. I thought this would be a tough choice between Taekyung and Noh Shinwoo but it really isn't. Daon already has parents who don't care about him and who are never home. He's already a huge people pleaser and can't say no even to the point of hurting himself. But now he's starting to like a boy, Taekyung, and that's all fun until he gets outed by his friend. Now the whole school knows he's gay and he's not dealing with that very well. Then on top of that Noh Shinwoo tells him he likes Taekyung and that means he has competition. But how can he fight for Taekyung if he hasn't even accepted that he's gay yet? How can he talk to Taekyung without worrying what people are saying about him? So much happened in such a short amount of time and he had to deal with it all so he just didn't have the brain power to also have a romance that no one accepts. So that's why I love him. He went through a lot but he dealt with it and grew more comfortable with himself and and more honest and he's saying no to people when he really has something important.

Justin - The Day I Loved You

Justin is the most recent character from The Day I loved You which hasn't even finished yet. I do love him because he's Nikko's best friend and they've been together for a very long time. Justin loves Nikko but Nikko doesn't love him and Justin knows this and yet he tries. He wants Nikko to be happy even if it's not with him. But I'm sure that if Eli ever hurts Nikko Justin will make him regret it. Justin wants to protect Nikko and just spend time with him, he gets worried when Nikko fell at school. And Justin got hurt when he saw Eli and Nikko have fun together and later kissing each other but he didn't interrupt them.

Austen - Always Human

Austen is from the webtoon Always Human. It's a cute GL about a fantasy world where there are special mods that can help with anything. You can use it to study, to get rid of hay fevers or to change your body however you want with the ability to undo it. You could do something innocent like dye your hair a wild color or you could get cat ears or have blue skin color and no one thinks you're crazy. I love Austen because she has a condition which makes her unable to use those mods so she can't use the hay fever mod or change her skin color or get cat ears. This means she had to learn to accept that she will be different from other people. She also has to work way harder than other people because everyone else has an advantage in learning new things because of mods that can help with studying. She's a very stubborn girl and has always wanted to work towards almost impossible to achieve goals because she refuses to accept that some things may be too hard for her if she can't use mods. I love that she's so passionate about not giving up but I also love that when she does change her mind it's not because she's giving up, it's because she wants to change. Sometimes a change can feel like you're giving up but that's not always true. A few days ago I reread the end of this story and I relate to Austen way more now than when I first read it. I also took this opportunity to advertise Always Human because I love this comic so much.

So that was it! Like usual I don't know who to tag or if they've already done this feel free to ignore me @waitmyturtles @elnotwoods @gilly-bean and if you see this and haven't been tagged consider yourself tagged now

[princeshifting]

Introduction Time!

Hello! I am Prince or Princey — I find username related nicknames more comfortable than my actual name — and I'm a reality shifter!

I have been into shifting for about two years and, while I admittedly haven't shifted yet, I take great comfort in the thought of being able to. I take comfort in making scripts and knowing that I have attempts and adventures in front of me whenever I'm ready to take the leap to try it.

I'm seventeen and I use he/they pronouns! I really want to make some friends in the shifting community but I've been too scared to reach out and ask people about their DRs and have conversations about it; if you'd be up for a conversation or friendship, send me a DM! I'd be happy to talk about it all.

I have about eleven (give or take a few) scripts that I've been working on individually for some time. I have ADHD so I get sidetracked quite often but I know at least where I want to shift... for now.

Some of these DRs include:

An Actor DR — I'll be a well known actor for a historical queer love drama called "Hey You", think of popularity like Heartstopper but with more royal vibes.

A Band DR — I'll be in a well known band called Carpe Noctum with a few of my friends. This isn't a very developed DR yet.

Dragon Age: Inquisition — I'll be the Inquisitor fighting against Corypheus and the social drama of my existence, but I'll be befriending my inner circle and carving a good history for myself in the process.

Descendants (first script) — I will be a Villain Kid coming to Auradon for the first time and learning how life works there rather than the Isle. I am still unsure who my parent shall be.

Descendants (second script) — I will be an Auradon Kid welcoming the VKs and helping them adjust to life at Auradon and all the bullshit they will inevitably come across. My dad will be the Cheshire Cat and my mom will be unknown, though guardianship of me goes to the White Queen.

A Royalty DR — My account is themed around it on purpose; I love royalty! The aesthetics of it are fantastic and I love the politics that may come along with it. My DR is set in a medieval fantasy styled world where I'll be a prince balancing politics and my own fun as a prince.

I have more but those are my current favorites and the ones I'm most interested in!

I don't have any S/Os in my DRs in respect to my CR partner whom I love very much. I'm not shifting for anyone but I'm shifting for the experiences. Though, if you are, 100% go for it! Yes!! Have fun!

I believe I've covered everything — perhaps too much — but seriously, I'd like to make friends if anyone is interested! I think shifting is really fun and I have loved my time with it so far!

Have a fantastic day!

[olderthannetfic]

a lot of anons talking about heartstopper/the writer of hearstopper literally sound like anties at this point lmao, just with a few wires crossed differently. maybe take a breath and a step away from this conversation for a bit.

like olderthannetfic (do you have a name youd prefer i use? or just the blog title?) sounds super clearheaded and chill on the whole matter, but some anons almost sound like antis trolling or something because by god yall are taking this whole thing way too seriously

--

I don't care what people call me. They usually just abbreviate my blog name to OTNF or use my name (which is Franzi).

I think the rude comments of the Heartstopper author do strike right at the heart of BL/slash fandom and bring up big conflicts in the queer community, so it's not a shock people are kind of extra about it.

The Dance Troupe OCs

(The photos are if they were human as well because I cannot draw them for the life of me and there’s like nearly no good photos of the troupe online. Also some photos will just be fanart of ocs because... photos are hard to find. Full credit to those artists.)

So I know like no one is going to really care about this but I am determined to give Ryan friends. After all those years with Klaus, it’s the least I can do. So I give you....

                          Ryan’s Rebel Friend Group! (They all hate Klaus)

                                                    Members Include:

Nam-Gil Percival “Perry” Myeong: 

He/Him

AroAce

Cisgender

18 yrs old

Has been dancing with Ryan since they were both 11 yrs old.

I based his personality a lot off Tao from Heartstopper and he tends to be a bit dramatic and very sarcastic and blunt.

Ryan’s closest friend out of the group and loves teasing him about his crushes, considering Ryan his brother more than a friend.

Quentin Jorge Foudre: 

He/Him

Unlabled

Trans Man

20 yrs old

Has been dancing with Ryan since Quentin was 15 yrs old and moved troupes.

I based his personality a bit off Mori from OHSHC and he is a quiet person, typically acting as the rock of the group. He keeps everyone grounded and focused.

He’s the oldest of the group and is seen as their collective big brother and was the one who first pointed out Lorrel when they joined the troupe.

London Fonua:

She/Her

Bisexual

Trans Woman

19 yrs old

Has been dancing with Ryan since he was 11 yrs old.

I based her personality off of Reki from Sk8 the Infinty. She’s very fun-loving and outgoing, motivating the others to take life less seriously at times which is good since they’re stuck around Klaus a lot.

She’s part of the original trio out of the group, including Ryan and Perry, and likes pointing out to Johnny and Nooshy that her name is their capital (they do not enjoy this as much as she does).

Hira Tahaan:

They/Them

Asexual

Nonbinary

20 yrs old

Has been dancing with Ryan since Hira was 14 yrs old and moved troupes.

I based their personality a lot off of Elle from Heartstopper. They’re the mom friend of the group and treats all of the others as their little siblings.

They’re the second oldest but act more like Quentin’s twin than his younger sibling and has a particularly close relationship with him.

Lorrel Yang: 

Lesbian

Demigirl

17 yrs old

Has only been dancing with Ryan and the others for 2 yrs now when they were promoted to the troupe.

I based Lorrel’s personality off of Vee from The Owl House. She is very friendly and sweet but they can get anxious around new people or in high intensity environments, making Klaus’s class a bad idea for them.

She’s the baby of the group and is very much treated that way as all the others are very overprotective of them.

This is how I imagine their group dynamic and I love it so let me know what you think!

#sing #sing 2 #sing 2 dancer troupe #i have started my never ending mission to give Ryan the story he deserves #starting with friends #they're lovely and full of found family vibes #they need this support system guys #they're stuck with KLAUS of all people #they all also hate him #they leave when Ryan does #i love these guys #they're perfect to me #please be nice to my babies #I swear Illumination #I will shove so much diversity into the human version of this #and fist fight any executives that try to stop me #representation matters

“Your kidding right?” Cormac asked Y/n. Y/n had ran in the rain to Cormacs house, she was out of breath, cold, wet, and he was yelling. She hated yelling and he knew that. He knew that yelling made her uncomfortable, but he was just so distraught, and scared

“I have to leave Cormac, i don’t want to, i want to stay with you but..” she stopped for a minute, standing on his front porch, her suitcase at the steps.

“your seriously moving across the world?” he asked, calming down. He grabbed her hand, she nodded. “I am” she said, looking out into the rain. “What about us?” he asked, leaning on the railing. “what about england? what am i supposed to do without you?” he asked, shaking his head to try and stop the tears, it’s no use.

“We’ve both graduated Cormac. You go on, become the director and producer you’ve always wanted to be, and i’ll continue to make my music in America” He shakes his head again. “No dream is worth it when i know your across the country eventually seeing other people when i don’t know if i’ll ever move on!” he yelled, the tears falling from his eyes.

“If we’re meant to be, i know i’ll find you again. Some how, some way, in every universe i’ll find you. i’m every universe it will be you and me, i’ll find you again mac, but i have to do this for myself” she turns around, and walks into the rain.

“can i have one last kiss?” he asks, making her turn around “what?”

“before you go, can i have a kiss?” She smiled a sad smile, tears falling down her face aswell. She walked back up the stairs, and turned towards him. and she kissed him, right there, for the last time for now.

That night, when y/n walked away, she never looked back, not because she didn’t want to, but because she never got the chance too

“a plane crashed in the ocean, the plane going from London to America, many injured, one fatality, her name is y/n l/n, sources say she was sleeping, and no matter what happened she wouldn’t wake up to cover like everyone else did, this resulting in the loss of her life”

Cormac couldn’t eat, he couldn’t sleep, the loss of his best friend, the love of his life, twice in one day. It was to much, he didn’t know how to handle.

He stopped by her grave often, just to say goodbye, hello, guess what i did today.

He told her everything, he was just wishing that she would pop out and laugh at his jokes, give him advice, a kiss, anything. But he was doomed to never see her again.

He just couldn’t stop thinking about what she said before she left. about meeting in every universe, about always finding a way back to each other. He didn’t know how they’d ever meet again now. He was destined to find her again, she was sure of it, but she didn’t know how, or where, or when, or why.

That night, he got in his car, trying to breath evenly as he began hyperventilating. He was crying because Y/ns family had called him, saying that they were sorry that all of this happened and he just couldn’t take it.

He had to go talk to her, so he started driving as fast as he could.

“A fatal car crash today, directly in-front of the London cemetery, it seems it was a tired, scared boyfriend on his way to visit his girlfriends grave, we have no news on whether this was a suicide or not, The boy in the accident went by the name of Cormac Hyde-Corrin, actor in the netflix show Heartstopper, Fans morn today, for their loved actor”

Cormac woke up, the room was bright, he blinked, to wipe away the tiredness from his eyes, he stood up. He walked to his bathroom and began to brush his teeth. “Cormac! your mates are here!” his mother yelled, he finished up his teeth and ran down the stairs.

“Thanks mum” he said, opening the door. It was a few boys, his age, each holding a girl on their arms. “What are you doing you idiot?” one asked, Cormac stood in shock. “We’re supposed to be going to see that movie remember? let’s go!” He nodded, running up his stairs once more.

He got a better look at his room, drums, guitars, music everywhere. was he a musician? why couldn’t he remember his own life?

He looked next to his bed, a picture of a girl, her smile was beautiful. She looked so familiar, he didn’t know why but that girl looked like someone he has been trying to find.

He finally got dressed, running down the stairs. “your girls gonna meet us there right?” Cormac stood for a moment “uh yeah” he said, looking away

“why are you acting so weird mate?” Cormac shrugged, getting in the van. He layed his head on the side of the car, trying to grasp what was happening

They got to the movie theater, and there were posters everywhere, of the girl next to Cormacs bed, so he pushes it aside and assumed the girl was just an actor he loved.

A person in a hood jogged up to them, Cormac couldn’t see their hair or anything else really, so he just didn’t care.

And then the hooded figure kissed her, and he didn’t want to let go. It was perfect, he was perfect, she was perfect, it felt perfect. and then she let go, taking her hood off

it was the girl, but her being right in-front of him, felt like soulmates reuniting. Like he was reuniting with his twin flame. She smiled, and her name immediately came to his mouth. “Y/n” she smiled

“i found you”

Books with Bisexual Characters

I’ve always been a book lover, and lately I’ve been taking note of some of the bi characters I meet along my journey. I thought I’d share some book recommendations.

First, In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan. I love this book so much—it’s honestly one of my favourites. It features a bisexual protagonist, Elliot Schafer, who goes across a wall into a magical, fantasyland and actively rebels against its war-like ways, choosing to draft treaties instead. He’s a snarky, grumpy, pacifist who has relationships with people of multiple genders throughout the course of the book. This book is super funny. Seriously, it made me laugh out loud on more than occasion. It also features truly phenomenal character development and explores the joys and trials of friendship between Elliot and his two best friends Luke Sunborn (the shy golden boy, born to a warrior family) and Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle (a bold elf whose society’s gender roles are completely flipped). Shenanigans ensue.

A quote:

“‘Why is language in the Borderlands so weird? Some of it’s modern, and some of it’s medieval, and I guess that makes sense with the influx of a certain amount of new blood to the training camp every year, but how do some words and phrases transfer, while others don’t? Why do you know the word ‘jerk’ and not the word ‘bisexual’?’

‘I guess people say the first word more,’ said Luke.”

 Next, The Nevernight Chronicle by Jay Kristoff. This epic three book series features badass bisexual Mia Corvere. It’s dark, bloody and heart-breaking, with an endless series of twists. Mia’s parents were killed during their attempt to start a rebellion and her quest for revenge leads her to join a school for assassins. Follow Mia’s journey as she attempts to bring down the leaders of the Republic with her constant companion, Mister Kindly, the wise-cracking shadow-that-is-shaped-like-a-cat. I loved this series as well. It’s a very different tone from the recommendation above (don’t get attached to your faves!) and it’s marked as adult fantasy (be prepared for sex and violence), so be warned, but wow, is it a wild ride!

 Books by Ellen Kushner!!! I recently discovered her and I’m in love. Ellen Kushner herself is bi and has a wife who is also a writer. The two of her books I’ve read so far are Swordspoint (published 1987!) and The Privilege of the Sword. Both are fantasy of manners with bisexual duelists as protagonists. Swordspoint features Richard St Vier, an elite swordsman, as well as his close companion (and lover) Alec, a sarcastic scholar with a mysterious past. The Privilege of the Sword is set in the future of the same world, featuring a young girl named Katherine (who I love with all my heart) as she’s called by her uncle to the city to embark upon a path nontraditional to a lady, that of a swordsman. Both are excellent and super fun!

 The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee. Meet Lord Henry “Monty” Montague as he embarks upon a Grand Tour of Europe (the historical fiction version of a road trip) with his best friend Percy (who he’s hopelessly in love with) and his sister Felicity (who’s ace and has her own follow-up book which I also recommend – the Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy). Monty is charming, privileged, hilarious and the definition of a disaster bisexual. Follow along as the three of them stumble into hijinks and character development.

 Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. Our main girl Frances Janvier is a study machine whose only respite from academics is the fan art she draws for a podcast called Universe City. Then one day, the mysterious narrator asks her if she wants to collaborate. In a relatable turn, Frances is bi, but it’s just a part of her identity and the focus of the book is not a romance. Instead, it’s all about friendship and finding platonic soulmates and figuring out what you want to pursue in life. Alice Oseman’s writing is lovely and she tackles issues that feel very modern and relatable. I’ll also mention her webcomic (which you can find online for free) Heartstopper, which follows the romance between two boys Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson (and includes Nick’s bisexual crisis).

A quote:

“And I’m platonically in love with you.”

“That was literally the boy-girl version of ‘no homo’, but I appreciate the sentiment.”

 Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Speaking of bisexual crises, meet Alex Claremont-Diaz, whose mother is the President of the United States. His long-time rival, Henry, is a prince of England, and after an incident involving an expensive cake, the two are forced to fake a bromance for the sake of international relations. Actual romance blossoms instead.

 Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey. In the land of Terre d’Ange, the motto is “Love as thou wilt”. Phèdre is a bisexual courtesan who receives pleasure from pain. Another adult fantasy (published 2001!), our heroine trains as a spy and is increasingly entangled in a web of politics and plots.

 The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. This series is well-known, but I love it! Maggie Stiefvater’s prose is atmospheric, littered with small details that reward a reread, and her character relationships are complex. This series is a gem full of magical realism. Here’s a shout-out to our bisexual boy, Adam Parrish!

 Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Again, another popular book (part of a duology), but the hype is totally deserved! A diverse crew sets out on an impossible heist. Let’s send some love to two bisexual icons, Jesper Fahey and Nina Zenik!

A quote:

“If only you could talk to girls in equations.”

There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they’d created in the link, Wylan said, “Just girls?”

Jesper restrained a grin. “No. Not just girls.”

 Those are some of my favourites that I’ve come across so far. Hopefully I’ll find some more! I’m always open to book recommendations, especially those that feature queer ladies :)
