[December 25th, 20XX. 1:32 PM]
"Hah- oh my God, th-thank you, Jonah!! All of this is so cool, and... it really means a lot that you thought about me, even though we don't know each other that well...."

[December 25th, 20XX. 1:49 PM]
Take those necklaces off right now.
I won't, actually. They look awesome, and I love them, and Jonah was very thoughtful and kind getting them for me.
You look like an idiot. Wearing jewelry isn't for guys. You don't get to wear it.
...
...Come on. We're not doing this shit again. You've thought a lot about your gender, and we're not questioning it anymore, okay? You're a guy, and that's final.
I don't like being a guy.
For Christ's sake, just take off the jewelry.
...Okay.
Can I at least keep everything else?
Hm, well, let's see!
Rose shirt and rose lights? Don't you think the rose shit is getting obnoxious by now? I'm sure it's getting obnoxious to everyone else.
Who cares? Why do I care if people don't like that something makes me happy?
I don't know, why DO you care?
-
That's- I don't.
You do. I know you do. You care so, so much.
I don't!! I left all that shit behind me in high school. I don't want to care about this anymore, I just want to live.
You'll live better if you fit in. You know that. Stop trying to pretend you're above yourself. You're not. Keep them in a box somewhere. Same goes for the headphones.
What could possibly be the issue with the headphones.
They're too noticable. No one wears headphones these days. Everyone will see you and know you're mentally ill. You've done such a good job at supressing it, why stop now?
...I don't want to supress it.
And what? Have people mock you? Call you shit? I'm trying to protect you, Cesar, and you don't seem to care.
...
. . .
. . .
Fine. I'll put all of this in the damn box. Go back to doing whatever, I'm leaving.
You're an ungrateful piece of shit.
And you're far too loud all the time......

Do you pre-order video games? I’m not that into video games to the point of pre-ordering them. The only game I’ve done this for is In the Seom hah.
When was the last time you washed your hair? Yesterday afternoon before heading out to see friends.
Who is the closest other person to you? Angela.
Does PDA bother you? Not really. There are particular behaviors I get irritated by, like babyspeak and making out in public unless you’re at a bar or club (because why?), but people holding hands or pecking or whatever doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
Who was the last person to send you a message? That would be Reena, who responded to a meme I sent earlier this afternoon.
Do you like Metallica? I like a handful of songs but I’m nowhere near being a fan.
What color is your hair, naturally? Black.
Do you own any makeup from Victoria's Sceret? My sister does and I will borrow her stash sometimes, but I don’t own any makeup products of my own.
Who was the last person that said "hello" to you? Hmmm my grandma and cousin when we came over this morning.
Do you know anyone with the last name Little? You’re certainly not going to encounter such a Western-sounding surname much where I live.
When was the last time you drove? Last night.
Have you ever failed a drivers test? Nope. Almost, because the car that was provided for my driving test was shit, but the instructor passed me and just gave me a ton of tips and reminders to make up for it lol.
Can you do a perfect cartwheel? I can’t. I tried a lot as a kid but I had a few near-injuries from attempting so I stopped and just never learned how to.
Who was the last person to insult you? Hans, as a joke. It was hilarious because we were a convoy going to Pop-Up last night (they were behind my car) and he was telling me how slow I was in taking a u-turn HAHAHAHA. In my defense this shitty country has no streetlights ANYWHERE so I couldn’t tell where the curb was!
What was the last song you listened to? With You by Jimin and Ha Sungwoon.
Do you have a channel on YouTube? Yes.
If you keep tabs, what is the second most visited website on your computer? I dunno if my laptop can track that. Maybe a social media website? Can you whistle with your fingers in your mouth? Nopes.
Have you ever tasted Carl's Jr. Portobello Mushroom Burger? We don’t even have Carl’s Jr. here.
What was the last concert you went to? Paramore. I’ve watched a handful of virtual concerts since but I won’t be counting those.
Are you planning on going anywhere tonight? Definitely not at this hour. It’s 11 PM on a Sunday and I have a meeting first thing tomorrow lol.
Do you like reading? No, not so much anymore.
When was the last time you cracked your knuckles? Now. This question made me want to.
Are you that type of person that is constantly touching their hair? Yeah. It’s really thick and I constantly have to put it behind my ears.
What time is it currently on your computer clock? 11:25 PM.
What was the last glass object you touched? My coffee mug. What was the last suggestion someone gave you? Something work related. I don’t want to think about it now. Are you going to take that suggestion? I did.
Can you type really fast? Yep.
Do you like to go shopping? No.

short story? (fictional..I guess)
Tuesday, 1:45 pm
Today was a windy day on the East bay. My feet are crunching the blank ground beneath my feet. I’m wearing a jacket but it’s so cold! The wool socks I’m wearing are a bit wet, and that was when I remembered I had hot chocolate at home. As I was on my way home, I see these to people close together. What are they doing? Why are they kissing? Aren’t they a bit close? Are they friends? I don’t know what to think.
I spot someone else across the street, and I could sense their jealousy of the close two. Then I heard the the two say, “I love you, my sweet sunshine!”, at the same time, but it wasn’t exact.
They’re in love. Love! What utter bullshit. 
I hurried along the snow, almost frustrated. Okay, not almost, I was frustrated. I AM FRUSTRATED! Why am I so frustrated?! Oh I’m home. Great.
My stiff discolored hands reach for the doorknob. It’s so cold and metallic. As I open the oak doors to my home, I close it just as quickly. 
SIGH
My mind is carrying a weight that I don’t to be true. I can’t fall in love. Well, at least, I don’t think so. Oh how I wish I could feel those wonderful feelings.
I enter my disheveled room, not prepared for anything, so I collapse onto my bed in all my warm clothes. 
Wednesday, 3 am
I’m hungry. My eyes are a bit blurry, so I rub them, so I can see once again. It’s 3 AM!! My stomach hurts, so I go to the kitchen, and look at my fridge.
It’s empty. Great! Just great.
I spot a remote to left and pick it to turn on my tv, then I hear my ringer go off. It’s my best friend, Jean. Well, I have a few best friends, and I love them so much. It’s not romantic...is there a word for that? ...I mean there can’t be...can there?
I pick up my phone and this is how the conversation goes:
Me: Fitz?! Isn’t it a bit late?
Fitz: lol Jet lol, why r u up at this time?
Me: I...I couldn’t sleep. 
Fitz: lol same.
Me: Fitz, I need help? 
Fitz: okay bestie! what u need help with?
Me: Well...I think I’m broken?!
Fitz: WOAH THERE!!! Who are you and what did you do to my bestie?!
Me: pfft...OH GOD it’s 4 am already!!!
Fitz: 9 pm over here baBY!
Me: I can’t fall in love...is that bad?
Fitz: Bro...why’d u thing it was wrong?
Me: because I’ve been told that I’ll fall in love with somebody, but it is yet to happen.
Fitz: u could be...aromantic? #noromo
Me: I’ve gotta feel a little attraction...right?
Fitz: Mate, calm ya tits, and look the damn thing up!
Me: okay okay...I WILL :{
.....
...
Fitz: Good night Jet, you’re an amazing friend :O
Me: Thanks, gn
Fitz: ‘night
12 hours later
OH shit...I fell asleep with the tv on! And yesterday...oh GOD!!! I miss Fitz. They were such a good friend...and I guess I’ll take their advice...not that I want to. I open up my computer and start typing in “Signs I might be aromantic?” and “What does it mean to be aromantic?”, and lastly “Am I aro?”. I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole, but OOO!
Th-that’s me...THAT’S ME!! Fitz was right...I am aromantic.... Wait there’s other like me. THere’s a whole spectrum?! ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!! WHY aren’t we taught this earlier?! If only I found out sooner...then everything would have hurt less. Well, it’s not like I can change much, so I guess I’m glad I came to this strange conclusion?
So yeah yesterday was cold, but now I feel a bit warmer knowing a bit more about myself. So HAH! Take that world! I’m gonna soar beyond and create my own path because I don’t need to fall in love to be human. Why is it shown so much though? The media is weird. Okay....a lot of things are weird.

why do they still have strechmarks? i mean i'm not complaining, loving it actually, but since they just emerged the way they are, they never grew and developed some, right?
well that particular amethyst with stretchmarks is by the commissioners request (Excellent Taste, pyj) but really yes, they wouldnt be there for the same reason they are on humans, theyre just cute and good. 
ALTHOUGH, i will say that i saw a fic once with amethyst where she had stretchmarks because her body isn’t the size its “supposed” to be, so its constantly trying to stretch to the “right” shape, thus, stretchmarks! that was a very cool explanation i thought
but if we’re talkin about Jasper McStrongArms PerfectForm Buffson then yeah theres no reason i just like them /u\
Tumblr media
its a little old (original), but look how fuckin CUTE!!!! in this house we love and appreciate stretchmarks

Sugar on Honey🍯
A/N: Hellooo I hope you guys are doing great I just wanted to try writing a Jim Hopper fic since I barely see any like come on he's so fine and ugh. Ahem anyways pls enjoy the story if u have any recommendations feel free to comment! If u have a request feel free to send a message to me! I'm still new to Tumblr so I'm not really sure how to work any of this sorry about that! ------------------------------------❈---------------------------------------- Hopper didn’t understand how you were so calm with Eleven. He tried, he really did. He took care of Eleven as if he was her own but he couldn't be as gentle and soft as you were. “This is an apple ok? It's red, sweet and a fruit. This is a cucumber, it's green and a vegetable!” Hopper watched as you taught Eleven basic English. “Ok, now you try” You hold up a bunch of grapes. “These are...grapes, sweet, blue and...fruit?” Eleven guessed while squinting hard at the grapes. “Heyyyy not bad! You're doing great, you just mixed up purple with blue but no biggie. Do you wanna do another one?” You said encouragingly. Eleven nods and proceeds to pick another product to investigate. “Oooh~ Hopper watches as you two laugh and learn, he couldn't stop himself from smiling, he appreciated what you were doing especially since Eleven was on house arrest. You were the only one he could trust. He absentmindedly takes a sip of his dark coffee hissing as it was too hot to drink. “You ok?” Hopper looks up to see you looking at him with a worried expression on your face. He loved that face, it was pretty cute. He chuckled “Ye, just too hot to drink” “Be careful before you burn your tongue off for good” You start cleaning the food off of the ground. “Yeah yeah, I won't mom” Hopper jokes as he goes into the kitchen. “Very funny Hopper haha” You give a playful glare “What is so funny? Ha...ha?” Eleven asks, seeing you two joking around not understanding the sarcasm. “Oh it's just sarcasm honey, try finding it in the dictionary, you'll find the meaning there.” You give a gentle smile while pointing to the thick book. “Well, there you go word of the day.” Hopper comes back into the hall sitting in the big chair stirring his spoon in the white coffee-stained mug. You wondered how much coffee he really drinks in a day. “S-A-R-C-A-S-M? the use of i- irony to m-mock or con-convey contempt?” Eleven read trying to read the words correctly. She looked at you for guidance and approval. “Good job kid, you’re doing so well, I need to go now, be a good girl for me ok?” you kissed her crown and gave a hug feeling her arms slowly wrapping around your bottom. “Bye-bye now~” “Bye (Y/N)” Eleven gave a small shy smile as she watched you look for your coat. “Here you go, make sure to zip up” Hopper gives you your coat helping you put it on. “Mm thanks, Hopper” “You want a ride?” Hopper suggests side-eyeing you while he refills his coffee. “I think ill manage, il call if anything happens” “Nope nope it's freezing, not letting you go out alone especially when it's night,” He says sternly as he puts on his coat and boots grabbing his keys on the way to the door “I'll be fine-” “Come on, let's go” You sigh “Ok fine” You trudge to his truck knowing he wouldn't let you win the argument. Giving a small wave to Eleven through the window. You pull his hand stopping him from going too close to the truck. “What, what's wrong, did you forget something?” Hopper asked “No you did” Hopper gives you a confused look “Eleven” “What about her?” “You didn't tell her bye” You take your hand backcrossing it against your chest as you look at the chief disappointed. Hopper sighs and goes back to the house, you watch as he tells Eleven bye” “Happy?” He says with his arms out as he walks towards you. “Depends,” You say as you open the truck door. You wait until he starts the car and starts moving out of the parking area. “What did you tell her?” “What?” “What did you tell her?” “I told her to keep the doors locked, not go out, keep windows and curtains closed-” “Hopperrr” You interrupt him,
sighing with your head down “What have I told you, give be gentle with her. She’s smart and strong, she can handle herself if anything happens. All you have to do is give her a simple bye and a hug” You put a hand on his leg “I know you're trying Jim, I really do know that. I've seen some progress and I'm really happy for both of you. Don’t be so harsh on her ok? She’s just a kid” Hopper sighs calming under your touch. “I know, I know I just. I feel like if I don't be hard on her, she’ll run away, get in some serious trouble and go meet her boyfriend.” Hopper rolls his eyes thinking of Eleven and MIke together. “Well if I was on house arrest and a teenager I would've run away to see my boyfriend too,” You say taking your hand off of his leg. “No you wouldn’t, you wouldn't even go out to the park, you were too much of a wuss,” He says as he looks for something in his coat. You dramatically gasp “Ok first of all, you're right, I would've never run away. Second, I have strict parents and you know that. Third I am not a wuss I just like staying home,” you sigh “who am I kidding I hated going out and being around people, especially with those dumb kids running around” You shake your head thinking of how introverted you were as a kid. Hopper laughs, throwing his head back watching you jokingly pout at him. He takes a cigarette out of his right pocket. “Well you were always the kid in the back of the room, quiet and shy, never understood how you could keep your mouth shut for so long” You grab the cigarette out of his mouth throwing it away somewhere in the car making him give you a glare “You know how my parents are, “be quiet,” “be good,'' “do good in school”, “no boys”” You say, quoting your parents' famous words. “Well at least they raised a good person,” He said, giving a genuine compliment your way. “Hah, that was all my doing” Frowning remembering how horrible your parents were at raising a child. You saw Hopper turning the radio on. You knew what he was doing but you weren't going to stop him at all. He turned it to the classic rock channel starting to sing and rock his head. Ah, how you loved him. Hey hey baby when you walk that way, Watch your honey drip, can't keep away Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, ah, ahOh yeah, oh yeah, oh, ah, ah. “Here comes Jim Hopper, everyone missing members of Led Zeppelin'' You say as if there's a crowd. I gotta roll, can't stand still Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill You laugh at how amusing he sounds, he's not half bad for the chief of police. Eyes that shine, burnin' red Dreams of you all through my head You throw your head back clutching your stomach, you just couldn't stop laughing. “Come on singggg, I know you know this one” Hopper says encouraging you to sing. “Noooo, are you crazy?!” You yell at him “Come onnnn” He pushes you You roll your eyes as he starts singing again. Hey, baby, oh baby, pretty baby Move me like you're doin' now- “Who knew the kitten could sing huh?” Hopper looks at you while you start singing with a big smile.
Didn't take too long 'fore I found out What people mean by down and out
Spent my money, took my car Started tellin' her friends she gonna be a star~ ------------------------------------❈---------------------------------------- “Thanks for the ride, really appreciate it Jim. Goodnight. Make sure to get some rest ok?” You say as you close the door “Yeah yeah mom, I get it” You give him a glare through the window door. Giving him a wave you turn around to your place. “Hold on!” You hear Hopper's voice shout behind you. Stopping in your tracks you turn around to see Hopper speed walking towards trying not to slip from the thick snow on the ground. The night was so beautiful, the snow was thick and flowing down like paper, it wasn't too cold but just cold enough to make the tip of your nose red. The street lights were on looking like yellow stars in the dark blue sky. It was perfect. “You forgot your bag,” He said, giving it to you. “Oh? OH thank you” you said, giving him a thankful smile while reaching for the bag. “It's fine, it's not like I'm gonna steal it now” Hopper chuckles putting his hands in his coat pockets. “Well, why would anyone steal a gift they gave to someone else?” You said giggling as you put the bag on. He grins “It looks good on you by the way, really suits you” “Oh, thanks” You blush at the comment while brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. “I was just thinking, you don't have to if you want, but I just wanted to ask you if u wanted to go on a date? I was thinking of a restaurant but only if u wanted to go there, we can go somewhere else, really up to you," he sighed "I'm gonna shut up now, have a goodnight” Hopper turned on his heel and started leaving but felt a tug on his coat. “I would love to go on a date with you Jim,” You said, giving him a gentle smile. You stood up on your tiptoes giving him a peck on the cheek. It felt different because of the stubble but you liked it. The butterflies in both of your stomachs were going crazy, fluttering around as if they were being chased by a bird. You wanted to stay in his warm embrace but fell back down due to the height difference.
“6 pm Friday at Johnnie's?” “I would love that, casual dress code?” “Why would we need a dress code?” He joked “Hoppperr” You hit his chest distancing yourself heading to your house. You stood on the porch seeing him waiting for you to go in your house safely. You lean against your doorway. “Goodnight Jim” God he loved it when you called him by Jim, it was like sugar on honey. “Goodnight kitten” You smiled at the nickname.
Heading inside you close the door, leaning against it. “EEEEEEEEEEE he actually asked me out, oh my god” You laugh at how excited you were acting. You couldn't wait. --------------------------------------❈-------------------------------------- Hopper headed to his truck getting in and turning the radio on. “Good job Hop, good job” He chuckled as he drove off. He couldn't wait.

Vaping with Bakugou -----------------------------------------------
bakugou x g/n reader
Tumblr media
TW: vaping
Genra: fluff (sorry if i got the genre)
Summary: Y/N was sitting on the school roof hitting their vape and Katsuki caught them but he had one of his own
A/N: Bakugou and Y/N are third years so they are 18 years old, the right age to  vape in my country (im from Poland). Reader is gender neutral. If you have any more questions just DM me or leave a comment. With that, lets begin!
It was around 10:00 PM on a Friday night. Y/N was sitting on the school roof puffing on their vape and listening to calm LO-FI music. It was a clear night so you could see the stars perfectly. There was also a perfect view of the town around them. It was just perfect. 
That was untill Y/N hears the sound of a door opening behind them. Quickly, you scurried to hide your vape under your thigh but failed. A wave of nervousness rushed over you.
“hey, dumb ass.”
You immediately recognized the voice behind you. It was your classmate, Katsuki Bakugou. 
“u really think u can hide the fact you were vaping from me? You were quick to hide it too but i saw it all. Dont worry though.” Katsuki says as he pulls a yellow disposable out of his pocket. “I vape too. So, of cores i wont tell on you”
Suddenly, you calmed down completely. You even smiled a bit.
Katsuki took a seat next to you and hit his vape. “so.. u know any tricks?” 
“well.. i know how to ghost, french inhale, and how to blow those little O’s. but thats about it” you said sheepishly. You were always shy around Katsuki. He was pretty intimidating to you. And frankly, you had a little crush on him. You just decided to keep it to your self for the time being. 
“tsk not bad for an extra like your self. i can also do those three along with the triangles and jelly fish.”
“thats cool. i always tried to make a triangle with the smoke but i never can. so... what flavor is yours?”
“mango pineapple. what about you?”
“just menthol”
“hah! u still puffing of those boring menthol pods? Here. keep this one. i have another one in my dorm”
you were kinda surprised. Katsuki Bakugou, who had a reputation of being rough and mean was being nice to you? you didnt know what to say. “A-Are you sure?” was all you can say. 
“ya. I dont really like that flavor anyway. so, take it before I can change my damn mind.” He placed it in your hand.
“thank you! d-do you want something in return?”
“what? no. i dont expect anything in return, dumbass. loosen up a bit. i can tell your nervous.”
“sorry... i just. im not used to you being nice to me thats all.” you flinched, half expecting him to burst out at you
“stop flinching. im not gonna yell at you. just... dont tell anybody about this ok? I have a reputation to keep up.”
you smiled at him “dont worry. what happens stays between us. i promice”
He also smiled at you. “and wipe that dumb smile off your face too” He said that but in reality, he thought it was cute. 
You could tell this was a friendship in the making. But if you were being honest with yourself, you wanted it to be so much more. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: sorry if this was bad. i got kinda lazy near the end ~,~

Shuichi x fem!reader fluffshot
desc; shuichi with a fem!s/o who enjoys wearing dresses. she goes out of her way to buy a dress for a date.
warnings; they're in highschool? i think???, suggestive depends on how you look at it, fluff, so many clichés, i did some fake text messages bc i didnt know how to type the text message format
word count; 2k
“Hmm...” You hummed frustratingly as you skimmed through the dresses in the shop, not finding one you were happy with. You were trying to find a dress that you thought Shuichi would like, but so far you haven’t found one that piqued your interest. You furrowed your brow at a blue dress that you came across on, looking at the back in interest. You grinned as you finally found the right one, the one you were going to wear for the date you had with Shuichi.
As you brought it to the counter and took out your wallet, you couldn’t stop thinking of how Shuichi would react. You felt giddy from the excitement of seeing him flushed from the sight of you. Quickly purchasing the dress, you grabbed the handle of the bag the dress was in and made your way back home with a bounce in your step.
As you sat in one of the public bus seats, you checked your phone for the time. Your eyes widened in panic when you saw the big bold letters read, “5:00 pm” That meant you only had 1 hour to prepare for the date you had with Shuichi. You put your phone back in your pocket and started fidgeting with your fingers in distress, predicting how much time it would take for you to get home, shower and dress up. ‘Would there be enough time?’ You thought. Shifting uncomfortably in your seat as the anxiety bubbled up inside you, waiting to pour out.
Whilst you were panicking in the bus seat, Shuichi was at his house trying on multiple shirts that he was unhappy with. He stood in front of his full body mirror with faux confidence, “H-hey there uh, you look great!” He spoke to the mirror with a nervous smile, picturing you in front of him. His face dropped as he sighed, “Great? Great!? Get it together Shuichi, we both know that she’s much more than great.” He grumbled to himself as he took off his shirt and--yet again-- put on another one.
He looked in the mirror, examining the black button-up on his back. He made a sound of uncertainty before nodding, “Eh, okay.” He inhaled before faced the mirror again and looking himself dead in the eyes. “S/o, would you be my girlfriend?” He said--surprisingly--without a single stutter, before breaking character and groaning. He squatted down and muffled his screams in his knees, face red from shame. “I can’t do this,”
“No, I-I can do this. What would Kaito say if he saw you being such a coward?” He muttered as he stood up and paced the room stressfully, before stopping and staring at the flowers he got for you. He had an internal battle in his head between ‘What if she says no?’ and ‘But what if she says yes?’ In the end, he decided that future Shuichi would decide.
~~~
Once the bus stopped near your home, you quickly hopped off the stairs of the vehicle and started jogging to your house. You unlocked the door to your house and rushed to your room. Checking the time again, it read 5:14 pm. ‘Perfect.’ You thought as you hastily stripped yourself of your clothes and showered. No longer than 10 minutes later, you carefully got out of the shower, careful not to slip. While you dried yourself, you heard your phone ring. Unlocking your phone, you smiled at the message from Shuichi.
Tumblr media
Shuichi yelped as he pressed send, throwing his phone at his bed. You replied back with trembling fingers and rosy cheeks.
Tumblr media
You laughed loudly as you watched his calm composed texts turned into embarrassed apologies. Your nerves easing as you laughed. Taking a small breather, you replied back with a goofy smile on your face.
Tumblr media
You left his last message on read as you dried your hair with a victorious smile. Whilst you basked in glory, Shuichi was at his house, trying his best not to imagine you naked. “Keep it together, Shuichi!” He told himself, voice muffled by his hands. He lightly whacked his head, trying to stop where his thought process was going. He really didn’t want to picture you naked; He would never look at you the same way if he did. Shaking his head of his strange thoughts, he went to the bathroom to splash some water on his face.
~~~
Once you dried your hair thoroughly, you got out of the bathroom, shivering as you felt the cold hair hit your damp skin. You quickly slipped on your undergarments, wanting some sort of material on your cold body. After slipping on your undergarments, you made your way towards the small paper bag you had left near your room door. You reached into the bag and grabbed the dress, grinning excitedly as you saw the glossy dark blue fabric.
You put on the dress and went to go check yourself in the mirror. Looking into your reflection, you beamed at how your dress looked on your figure. You felt like a fucking Disney princess. You made a few funny power poses in the mirror to hype yourself up. This might be your new favourite, you thought, you just hope that Shuichi likes the dress just as much as you do. You did a few playful spins in the mirror, before glancing at the clock on your wall, ‘5:35 pm.’ Looks like you had more time than you needed.
You sat down on your bed, picking up your phone, and opening the messaging app to text Shuichi. Your thumb hovered over the keys, as you hesitated. You decided it would be rude to ask someone if they wanted to go earlier when you had already agreed on a time. So, instead, you exited the app and scrolled on Tumblr, occasionally laughing at a shitpost.
〜〜〜
Shuichi stared at his phone, waiting for the screen to light up with a notification impatiently. His ahoge perking up every time he saw his screen brighten up with a notification, but deflating when he saw it wasn’t you. He glared at the small box before caving in and grabbing his phone. He opened the messaging app, about to text you when suddenly, his phone started vibrating. He almost dropped his phone from surprise, fumbling it until he caught it. Unfortunately, his thumb had tapped on the answer button before he could see who it was.
When he finally held his phone in his hands to look at it clearly, his eyes widened as his heart thumped when he saw your name. Clearing his throat, he quickly brought his phone next to his ear, letting out a squeaky, “Hello?” He winced at the unwanted pubescent sound his throat made, face-palming as his voice failed him.
“Uh-Hi! Is-is your throat okay?” You asked, unsure if who you heard was Shuichi. “U-um yeah- No, my uh, my throat is fine.” He cleared his throat once again. It was as if he had forgotten to speak, somehow managing to mess up each word. “S-so, why’d you call?” Shuichi asked nervously, trying to steer the conversation away from his squeaky voice. He awaited your answer as he laid on his back on his bed, gripping his phone with one hand and leaving the back of his other hand on his forehead.

“No reason, really. Guess I just got impatient and wanted to hear your voice.” You slyly replied, your face heating up with every word that made its way out of your mouth. You see, that was a lie. You had actually been trying to change his contact name to something funny but you had accidentally pressed the call button. What? Did you really think you would have enough confidence to call him yourself? Hah, you wish! You should be thanking your ginormous fingers.
Shuichi sighed dreamily, basking in the sound of your voice. He was so entranced by the sound of it, that the lovesick idiot forgot to reply. Causing your thoughts to go into overdrive and your confidence to go ‘poof!’, “Oh! I-I’m sorry if that’s weird! I just mea-” He snapped out of his daze the moment he heard your panicked voice, quick to dismiss your thought process, “N-no, it’s not weird! To be honest, I wanted to hear your voice too but I just d-didn’t have enough confidence to call.” He admitted quietly, face flushing from his mini confession.
“O-oh.” You were sure you were going to pass out from overheating, he wanted to hear your voice too! You lived in the thought that Shuichi likes the sound of your voice. Shuichi continued the conversation, “So... Tell me about the dress you said you thought I’d like, I’d love to hear about how it looks.” Shuichi smiled fondly, knowing how much you love dresses. As the image of you in a summer dress popped up in his head, he felt his heart warm up. He’s extremely grateful that you enjoy wearing dresses because he enjoys seeing you in them just as much.
Every time he sees you approach him with a dress on, he’s on cloud 9. He swore he was the luckiest man alive when you accepted to go out with him. As you giggled at his words, you were unaware of the effect your giggle had on this man. Your giggle was near fatal for a love-sick fool like him, you made his heart pump just a little bit faster in his chest.
“Nice try, Saihara-Kun. But it’s a surprise! Don’t worry about it though, I am positive you’ll like it.” You teased, running your fingers on the glossy blue fabric in thought. Shuichi chuckled underneath his breath, making your heart skip a beat this time. “You caught me,” Shuichi confessed, laughing quietly. You pressed your hands against your red cheeks, feeling how warm they were.
Glancing at the clock, you spoke, “Oh hey, it’s already 5:46 pm. Are you going to pick me up, Mr. Detective?” You purred, standing up and searching for your purse. Shuichi checked the time on his phone, eyes widening at the time, “Already? It felt much shorter than that.” You shook your head and laughed, “Time goes faster when you’re having fun.” You chimed. “That’s the most cliché thing I’ve ever heard you say.” Shuichi deadpanned, causing you to chuckle at the tone of his voice.
“But it’s pretty accurate isn’t it?” Shuichi sighed in defeat, “I guess so. Or maybe the author was too lazy to write more.” You hummed in agreement, “That’s probably what happened, yeah.” You smiled softly before saying the words neither of you wanted to hear, “Hey, we have to hang up now.” Shuichi felt dread wash over his body at the thought of not hearing your voice, “You have to pick me up remember?” You reminded, cleaning your room a bit before you left. “Don’t hang up.” He pouted, not wanting to stop hearing your voice.
“Shuichi, I’m going to see you in, like, less than 10 minutes.” You giggled at his desperate tone of voice, “Trust me, I don’t want to hang up either.” Shuichi exaggerated his sigh, “Okay, okay, I’m on my way. I’ll see you in 10 minutes, yeah?” He quickly got up, smoothening the wrinkles on his dress shirt. “Yup!” You gushed, feeling caught up in the moment you blurted out, “Love you!”
Crazily enough, Shuichi didn’t seem to notice it either as he replied, “Love you too.” As both of you hung up, you paused. ‘Wait.’
Shuichi also froze, ‘wait a second.’ The two oblivious idiots simultaneously had a mental breakdown, both realizing that they both had just confessed to each other. What did this mean? Were you two a couple now?? Shuichi pushed the thought to the back of his head, focusing on the fact he had to drive to your house and he couldn’t be distracted(drive safely!). He picked up his keys and the roses he had gotten for you earlier today, and made his way out the door.
You slipped on your heels with one hand while you held your purse with the other. Looking in the mirror one more time, you adjusted your dress slightly before taking a peek at the clock. 5:59 pm. You made your way to the door and opened it. Jolting when you saw Shuichi’s tall body right in front of you, “Shui- Why didn’t you ring the doorbell?” You questioned, cocking your head to the side. Shuichi looked at you in awe, you were right, he really did love your dress.
“I... Uh...” He couldn’t say anything as he marvelled over the way you looked in the blue dress. You grinned bashfully, twirling a bit for him. “You like it?” You bit your lip, looking up at him. He simply nodded, not able to think of any words to describe how godly you looked at the moment.
Holy shit, he really, really wanted to kiss you.
He found himself slowly leaning towards you, eyeing your lips. “Shu?” You tried to snap him out of his daze, before realizing where his eyes were trained on. Realization dawned over you and you flushed, eyeing his lips as in turn. Reaching up to grab his face, you gently put your hands on his jaw and craned your neck to kiss him. Thank god for the heels, you would’ve had to pull him down without them.
His eyes expanded due to the fact you made the first move. Closing his eyes, he gripped your hips, sliding his hands over the material of your dress. As he kept going for more of your lips, more of your touch, more of you, the more he became intoxicated. But to his dismay, you pulled away, breath fanning against his chin. “Ditch the date?” You asked, trying to gain your breath back. “Ditch the date.” Shuichi eagerly replied, curling his arm around your waist and pulling you inside your house, closing the door behind him.
this is so long ;--; and unedited- hsbhjbdkndfx i hope you guys enjoyed this! super fun to write brooo, and hey! its only 1 am! proud of me? :D - mod chia

Birdie’s FAQ
Tumblr media
General Questions
Tumblr media
Q. Do you have a Patreon?
A. Firstly, thanks to everyone who has asked me this. It means a lot that you guys wanna support me! However, I don’t feel comfortable monetizing my fanworks. I don’t have a Patreon and I don't plan on it, sorry! ;u;
Q. Do you take requests or commission?
A. Nope! I may open some art requests or commissions maybe if I ever get in a really hard spot, but I don’t accept money for writing. Sorry! ;u;
Q. You didn't answer my ask/pm!
A. Frankly, I'm shy ;u; im far more likely to answer an ask than I am a PM, just cause im scarrrreeed. If I don't answer an ask, it's either already been answered here, it was mean spirited or forceful, or i just havent looked at my asks in a while hhaha. Please keep in mind I'm exceptionally introverted and don't usually talk much oof im sorry :(
Tumblr media
Art FAQ
Tumblr media
Q. What do you use to draw and animate?
A. I draw and animate with paint tool SAI v.1! The program isn’t meant for animation. I just draw all the frames in paint tool sai and then run them through a gif compiler to make them move. 
Q. Can I use your art for headers, icons and emotes?
A. As long as you credit me in some way, you can definitely use my animations and art as icons, header for your blog, and discord emoji. 
Q. Can I repost your art on other sites?
A. Sure, as long as it isn’t tumblr or twitter, since I’m active in those places already and reposted art will be reported. However, if you want to post it on your Instagram, Pinterest, or what have you, feel free as long as my signature is visible and I’m linked somewhere !
Tumblr media
Fanfiction FAQ
Tumblr media
Q. Can I use your fics for my fanfiction readings? (ex. Youtube)
A. Ask me! Most fics I probably won’t mind as long as I am credited and a link to the fic is posted in the description. However, there may be a select few I would rather not, so drop me a line and we can talk about it!
Q. Do you write for any other fandoms/characters?
A. Nope! I’m only interested in Hawks from BNHA, so that’s all I write! Hah. Eventually one day I may become interested enough in another character to write something for them, but also probably not ;u; 
Q. Do you write “dark” content, like Yandere or non!con?
A. Generally speaking, no. If I ever got a really good idea I can’t shake down the road, the “Yandere” dynamic may be a lightly used possibility. To the point it probably wouldn’t even be yandere tbh tho hah. Non!con will never appear in my fics, though. Anything generally abhorrent you can be sure I won’t write about. HOWEVER, I do occasionally reblog fics others may find triggering. Always read the warnings authors leave before taking peeks!
Q. I don't like that you often describe things about the reader in your fics. Such as cheeks going red, pink nipples, or their gender.
A. All of my fanfictions are written about myself with me in mind. I try to stray away from outright describing reader by physical traits, since i want everyone to feel included! But at the end of the day I am one person with a world view limited to my own experiances. There will be times its obvious I have fair skin/certain type of hair/particular body features in my writing. I try to be as vague as possible, but please keep in mind the author here is a fair skinned cis female, and I write as a form of escapism with myself in mind first.
Q. You haven’t posted anything in a while! Are you still writing?
A. Yes! I like to take my sweet sweet time with my fanfictions, and im never rushing or in a hurry to update. Sometimes I work on a piece and decide to keep it for myself and not share at all, if its too personal or special to me. I love writing a lot, and if i havent updated in a while be sure to know I havent stopped. Im just enjoying the process of creating without worrying about any deadlines, and that can take weeks to a few months.
Q. There was something in one of your fics I think there should have been a warning for!
A. Tell me !! I try to add warnings for anything that I can think could be upsetting to readers, but if you have a suggestion for me to add more warnings in the future, feel free to send me a message. I would appreciate it ;u;
Q. Do you have a tag list for your fanfics?
A. Sorry, I no longer use a taglist! I do post all my fics on my AO3, Keigosbirdie, however. You can get emails when I update by following me there :)
Tumblr media
I may add to this later if I get repeats of other questions! Thanks for reading ;u;

Hi!
So - had two prompts that I’ve combined into this chat!
As always @lumosinlove is the mastermind of this wonderful fandom. 💖
I want to thank you all! Over 20 snippets and chats now. You guys are absolutely incredible and I can’t believe the feedback and love and good vibes I get from you. Thank you! I’m all done with prompts except for one which is the next chat - so I’ll be open for your ideas 😍
@frombeauxbatons and @canesinthecrease just because you inspire me ❤️
The boys are being naughty at a team event. Don’t worry. Consent was given on all accounts - they’re good boys! But they’re also a bunch of frat boys with muscles.
Remus plans a prank. He blames dumo and James. Nado organizes. Sergei wins. Timmy loses. Dumo is a prankster too. Olli is sneaky. Sirius is not in on the prank. Kuny is Kuny. Nat is amazing. Kris is an ally. Nado is also the team’s phoebe. (Friends reference)
Sweater weather chat #14
——
Saturday 5.22 pm
Nado created a group chat.
Nado named the group chat THE BIG LIONS HEIST 2020.
Nado added James, Remus, Dumo
Nado: hey Re. Remember the plan? We need to get all the boys to take the selfie before he notices
Remus: Nado. We’ve gone over this multiple times. I’ll get the phone from Sirius. I still think this is a disaster but you and James are very convincing
James: it’s a fucking awesome plan. He won’t notice I bet
Nado: also extra points if you get him all worked up😂
James: I don’t wanna spend an entire evening looking at Sirius trying to hide a hard-on
Nado: why not? It’s funny 😂
Dumo: why did remus get the easiest job?
Remus: I’m the only one who gets to put my hands in Sirius’ pocket.
Nado: awwww jealous?? You know we see him naked like several times a day?
Dumo: you’re not supposed to look.
Nado: I’m curious about the human body!
James: well we’ve all had sneak peaks. Still scared of Sergei
Dumo: he should hAve a tramp stamp saying heavy machinery
Nado: lets get him drunk!!!! Brady can ink him!!!!
Remus: you are not inking anyone without their consent. Also; have you met his wife? She’d skin you all alive.
Dumo: she would. I’ve seen her make a reporter cry.
James: why?
Dumo: the reporter insinuated things about Kuny. Not sure what he said but based on the cursing and sunny having to physically restrain her I think it was bad
Nado: yikes anyways we got everyone on board. I’ll kick cap out the group chat once you’ve swiped the phone. Now go get your tuxes on. We’ve got rich old ladies to woo.
Dumo: you’re not supposed to take them home.
Nado: I never saw that rule. Older ladies knows some shit. Damn. Cougars are wild!
Remus: I’m not treating sex injuries
Nado: you treated Kuny’s groin last month?
Remus: that was from the ice.
Nado: sure it was 😜
Dumo: I’m ending this. Go change and BEHAVE tonight
——
Saturday 8.54 pm
Nadotheman removed siriusly from the group chat
Nadotheman added Remus to the group chat
Nadotheman changed Remus to Loops
Blizzard: did you do it? You have the phone?
Loops: yes. I did my part. Your guys are up
Nadotheman: okay here are the rules for the 2020 lions heist (this year we’re doing truth and dare the lions way - so mostly dare)
1. We have 3 hours and cap’s phone. Each team member has to get a selfie with cap in the frame. The best (dirtiest) photo wins 😜
2. CAP CANT KNOW
3. Leo and Walker are starting and they get to chose the next one. You’ve all got one photo each
4. To be considered we need the photo sent to this chat before midnight.
5. Remus is the ref on this little game.
6. If you lose. You’ve gotta tell us 3 secrets. He he we get to pick when.
DamnFoxy: how is this a prank on cap?
Prongstar: he’s always being swarmed and it’s fun. He’s our canvas and we need to fill in the blanks. It’s like hide and seek meeting truth and dare meeting Pictionary meeting Snapchat
CarbO’Hara: so we can start? Cause Kuny’s been snogging that girl for 4 minutes now? Does he not need to breathe?
Nadotheman: that’s two points for Leo!
CarbO’Hara: @newt-leo? WhY? I saw him first?
Newt-Leo: he’s snogging someone at the shrimp buffet. That’s open season. Also he’s still not come up for air? And it was my turn to start @krisvolley and @prongstar you’re it
KrisVolley: @blizzard & @lewilliam you’re up
LeWilliam: blizzard is cheating!!! He got his girlfriend’s friend to kiss him!!!! And Nat was touching cap’s butt
Blizzard: read the rules man. I’m not cheating
LeWilliam: but it’s unfair?
Blizzard: not my fault. I’m winning.
Loops: @lewilliam I’m pretty sure Nat and blizzard saved cap from a handsy old lady.
Blizzard: @sergei_81 & @kaneyoudigit you’re up
Kaneyoudigit: Hahahaha hahahha pretty sure sergei and me are gonna win.
Dumodad: sergeu just manhandled a very confused looking Sirius all the way back to the toilets?
Nadotheman: wait. Where’s Kuny?
KrisVolley: yeah Sergei definitely won.
Kaneyoudigit: I’ve got a pic too!!!
Logantremblayzzz: well you’ve got only half a cap. Sergei got himself and cap giving thumbs up.
Sunnysideup: you forgot you were supposed to be in the photo @kaneyoudigit 😂
Prongstar: so it’s not even 10 and Kuny’s already half naked in the bathroom. It’s like you guys aren’t even tryin. Didn’t even get a selfie with cap in it yet. Also he wasn’t supposed to know.
Sergei_81: he not know game he think I just want pic for Kuny. Keep try but I’m win.
Krisvolley: well that was smart. Back to the game boys. @dumodad & @logantremblayzzz you’re up
Sergei_81: why you sound surprised? Brat. I’m smart.
——
Nadotheman: everyone got their pics in?
Walkietalkie: yeah. Finno was last with Olli. They’ve just sent it - nice job Olli 😜 timmy didn’t send one tho
Loops: I don’t think I want to know. Olli. How the hell did you get cap to do that?
Ollibear: I just asked him to get some fresh air with me. How could I know timmy was getting acquainted with a girl behind the curtain? 😇
DumoDAD: acquainted? Is that what it’s called now?
RussianGod: at least I go to toilet for hookup
KrisVolley: you’re all terrible.
Sunnysideup: you sent a selfie with you and cap in front of the girls kissing in the corner....
KrisVolley: I’m a proud ally!
Talkiewalkie: to be fair you both look incredible uncomfortable
KrisVolley: it’s a stupid game
Timmyforrealz: HEY?! You losers hear about privacy?
Ollibear: if you want privacy don’t hook up with someone behind a curtain at a fancy nightclub.... also you didn’t send a pic. You’ve lost.
Timmyforrealz: I didn’t lose hah. Maybe I lost your dumb game
Prongstar: don’t blame the game for her dumping you. Also you lost some buttons on your shirt, your tie is a disaster and your dignity is hanging on by a thread
Timmyforrealz: she didn’t dump me. I decided not to pursue it further!
Russiangod: whatever u say. Come on who win?
Loops added siriusly to the group chat
Siriusly: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Why am I in all of these selfies?
Loops: you’re cute when you’re annoyed. I had nothing to do with this😇
Prongstar: captain my captain. It was all loops’ idea. We’ve got a selfie collection for you.
Siriusly: you idiots have spent an entire evening running Around trying to take selfies with me and not tell me?
DumoDAD: it was fun. You didn’t catch on when Sergei asked you to pose in front of Kuny clearly going at it?
Siriusly: I thought it was a prank on Kuny? Like steal his clothes and all/ wait didn’t you steal his clothes?
Nadotheman: we should’ve. Dammit
Sergei_81: loops who win????
Loops: timmy lost.
Siriusly: wait it that why Nat was patting my butt? She said I’d been sitting in something? @blizzard!!!!
Blizzard: 😜
Siriusly: should I be offended? She did ask if it was okay. Wait. Why did I have to be in the photos? You’re not doing another collage?
Prongstar: of course! Last year was cap sleeping in different places.
Siriusly: you’re all idiots. How did you even get my phone??
Loops: ...
Siriusly: oh.
Talkiewalkie: awwwwww... 😜
Timmyforrealz: anyone seen my wallet?

How do you get people to always buy your dragons? Genuine question
i was gonna say something like “haha i have no fucking clue” but that would be a lie i think about this a lot actually so i might have some insights i’ve been breeding dragons as my primary activity on FR since i started playing FR (in 2014...) and people have only started actually buying dragons from me consistently like, 5-6 months ago, despite 2-3 attempts at running a genuine hatchery onsite that always died due to lack of interest & not really being worth the effort. 
so ive thought a lot about what the hell is happening now and why my dragons are suddenly consistently selling and I think ive come down to these being the main points of advice i can give: 1. make friends! be friendly! don’t be weird! be a cool and fun person to interact with! 2. post consistently. post your dragons consistently. post about other stuff consistently. just be an active member of the community 3. POST YOUR SHIT IN THE “#FLIGHT RISING” TAG. THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY TRUELY HELPFUL THING I SAY IN THIS POST 4. make pairs that are sexy as hell and be openly proud of them. make dragons and pairs that you like, not what you think will necessarily sell. people can tell when you like stuff and being genuinely passionate about something, whatever the fuck it is, will get other people passionate as well longer versions/explanations under the cut because man this got a mile long. i wasn’t kidding when i said i think about this a lot and i am so sorry if you wanted something concise and useful
1. to be a little glib. i am mutuals/friends with more clout in the FR community than I do kjdshfdsfdhjhkfdf shoutout to everyone who draws their dragons really good on a regular basis because i am riding on your coattails to sell my dragons. i love you this was never my intent, obviously! DO NOT BEFRIEND PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU WILL GET STUFF FROM THEM IT’S JUST A REALLY BAD THING TO DO TO PEOPLE!!! i wouldn’t be friends w/ people if i didn’t genuinely like and get along with them! no amount of pixel cash is worth putting up with people you dont like or abusing people you admire!  but i’d also somehow feel wrong to just... neglect mentioning this factor. idk it’s probably a self-esteem thing sjdkgfhdsf i just Don’t feel like my #success has been totally out of my own effort because its not like im #hustling or whatever i just posted dragons and stuff happened
-----
2. being consistent! just. posting consistently! posting Every Hatchling I Have and Talking About Them On Tumblr!  Once I had a couple nests just sell super fast likely due to aforementioned clout, i was emboldened to just post more of my nests more often and I swear this has more effect than anything else. i just needed the self-esteem boost to Start Doing That posting consistently makes ppl follow u for ur content which gets even more people to look at your dragons which gets more people to buy your dragons.
-
2a. Also just post a lot in general, even if you aren’t necessarily posting about your dragons for sale. it definitely helps! just be friendly and active and people will come
-----
3. post your shit in the tag. not in “#dragon-sales” or “#fr-dragon-sales” or anything weird like that because I don’t know if anyone actually looks at those, but people definitely browse “#flight rising”. no matter how many followers you have, more people will see your content if you post it in #flight rising than if you just chuck it into the void. 
-
3a. however! do not put links into the post if you want it to actually show up in the tag. tumblr is cool in that it doesn’t actually matter that much when you post something, the same way it really matters on twitter bc twitter has algorithms that decide for you what it thinks you want to be seeing whereas tumblr just shows you everything in chronological order. if you post something into the tag at 1am... it will still be there at 2pm when people log on and start scrolling.
the only thing tumblr seems to consistently hide from a tag (and possibly a dashboard, but idk) are posts with links in them, as a half-assed attempt to limit spam. instead of linking to your sales tab/to the dragons directly in the post, reblog it with the links instead. to reduce latency between a post going up and the links being available, i type out the links in the initial post, cut them, post the thing into the tag, then very quickly reblog, paste the links, and post the reblog jdhfsdf. i don’t know if that benefits anything really? but it can sometimes take me a while to type links, so if i posted, pressed reblog, typed up all the links, then posted, it’d be like ~15 minutes where someone may see the post, think “oh i would like to buy those dragons”, then can’t find the link, think “oh well, i will just find it later”, scroll on, and just... completely forget about it. so uh. go quick?
-
3b. the armchair sociologist in me also thinks self-reblogging has the added benefit of like... you know how people are more likely to tip a barista when a dollar is already in the tip jar? or how people are more likely to take one of those little tabs on a flyer if one of them is already missing? i think that works with notes, too. i don’t know why i think that or why it happens i just swear once a post gets 1 note, suddenly it gets Even More Notes, and if it doesn’t get any notes for a while it will sit at 0 notes until the end of time. so giving yourself 1 obligatory note makes people more likely to interact. i think
-----
4. all of these are hard to quantify but this one is especially so: have cool and unique dragons. make your pairs sexy as hell. don’t put all your eggs (hah) into the one basket of selling dragons that are technically “popular”. we have all seen triple white/triple obsidian/triple orca/triple any other popular colors and cherub/pere/stained or wasp/bee/glim pthahlos or whatever. they’re pretty! we get it! but everyone has had one and everyone has had those pairs and market for dragons like that can be super oversaturated. try to break free from that and sell dragons that people can only get from you. I can’t tell you what to do though bc that rly depends on you. make pairs that you find exciting or interesting and people will feel that. i have a very specific theme and aesthetic that i don’t feel like is especially common on FR and i am genuinely very enthusiastic about it. marine shit is my Thing:tm: both on and off FR and dragons are one of my many ways of expressing that   if you have a Thing:tm:, either some fr-centric aesthetic (like being super into plague or earth or light or something) or something more general (such as any of the -punks or -cores)... just fuckin roll with it honestly. if you’re goth? make got h dragons. like scene stuff that looks straight out of a middle school in 2010? rock that hot-topic lair. outdoorsey type? make dragons that look like you’d meet them on a hike in the woods. it really works with anything!  people can tell when you really love something and i know that seeing someone really love something, even if it’s not necessarily MY thing, makes me really excited too!! 
-
4a. never show fear. people can smell fear. never be like “well this one isn’t that good” because suddenly now you’ve planted the idea that it’s ugly in other people’s heads when they may have really liked it had you not accidentally suggested to them that it’s an ugly dragon. people are EXTREMELY suggestible to even VERY minor cues so be always a little bit bolder than you think you should be you’d be surprised at how many times ive been like “eh, this one’s kind of a dud, i’ll probably have to exalt this one when the auction expires” and then that hatchling is the first to sell. never ever ever ever decide what other people like for them. always act like your dragons are the hottest shit in all the land and Believe It. this is what people mean when they say “fake it till you make it”
- 4b. also, idk if it’s true of everyone but it’s really off-putting to see someone having serious pity-parties for themselves, on sales posts or otherwise. ive had bad experiences with people who are uncomfortably quick to self-depreciate (because they were using their genuine self-hatred to manipulate me or my friends), so i might be a little more trigger-happy about avoiding this behavior than others, but don’t weaponize your sadness to guilt people into doing what you want. it’s really not cool.
-----
okay i think that’s my entire manifesto on how i do dragon selling. anon i am so sorry im sure you were expecting like “believe in yourself :)” and here i am dissecting dragon selling like it’s a frog in a science class
edit: AFTER ALL THAT I STILL THOUGHT OF ONE MORE THING. It’s not really a Point, just a Reminder:
i don’t post about all the times i have to exalt dragons that don’t sell. you are seeing me being very selective about what i post. you dont sit and stare at my lair or click through offspring lists or check old sales posts. there are a lot of times where someone just doesn’t sell. even now when i’m selling stuff pretty consistently i will still sometimes have dragons that don’t sell for seemingly no reason. even dragons I think are sure to sell will sometimes just... not. and that’s ok! you gotta just be.. ok with that. it’s par for the course. i typically list dragons for 7 days on the AH, give them a couple more days after their auction expires (partially because i forget, partially to give them a grace period for people to pm/ask me about them), and then exalt them after that point. w/ some dragons that i don’t think got a fair shake for one reason or another (such as the sales post not showing up in the tag or something) i do a little clearance (like the halloween dragons i recently posted) but for the most part if they don’t sell, i just exalt them. 90% of the time i don’t even bother to level them up i just press the exalt button and call it a day. it’s fine

Tsathoggua's (Forced) Day Out - MC4
"I don't like to go outside, it's too sunny... and crowded... and I see it as unnecessary. I'd rather play stay in my room than do something like that."
That's... what he practically said. Tsathoggua is definitely... somewhat of an obstacle to go through. Everything I had said related to going outside, he didn't want to do. Go eat outside? Nope. Play outside? He'd rather play video games. At least walk? He'd think it's a very tiring activity.
Honestly, it felt like his head had a huge talking stone wall connecting to his consciousness and this "wall" just said no every time I invite him out to go do something. Unless it's a really really urgent matter, he won't do anything! Huh, what should I do...?
.
.
.
It was a Friday. Almost every student in the vicinity was talking about what they'll do on the weekend. Basic student mentality. Based on the clock, it was also 12:46 PM so almost every student that is missing is either finishing their lunch or having an activity outside. Either way, I don't really care that much.
"Hey, Shinjou!" Kengo, along with Ryota and Shiro, approached my table. "Did you do the homework today?"
"Of course I did. I did it last night," I answered truthfully. "Wait, don't tell me..."
"Ehehe..." Kengo scratched the back of his head.
"As always, Kengo. Very unprofessional." Shiro shook his head in disappointment.
"Hey, it's not my fault that I didn't understand the lesson!"
I wanted to help him, I really did, but he needed to learn the hard way... And Shiro would probably scold me if I do such a thing.
"Anyway, what are your plans tomorrow, Shinjou?" Ryota interrupted.
"I think..." My eyes looked down to my lap while unhesitantly answering, "I think I'm gonna try and force Tsathoggua out of his habitat again."
"Seriously?" He raised an eyebrow. "He doesn't like going outside. Unless you have a card up your sleeve, I don't think just words are going to work on him."
"Yeah!" Kengo shouted. "And you should be spending your time fighting with me, instead!"
SMACK!
"What's that about fighting, Kengo?"
It was Mononobe who was standing right beside the door and bonked his head with a heavy-looking book.
"E-Ehehe! I-I meant that he should... p-practice fighting! Yeah!"
Mononobe, like Shiro, shook his head in disappointment and dismay. "You really should be focusing on your grades and balance your strength and noggin. You're... unsurprisingly failing your subjects."
"Ahhh..."
The whole five hours were just Triton, Jinn, and Ziz teaching us the different subjects while Kengo was just drooling around, bored of the class.
.
.
.
The whole day was over. The bell rung. And the clock struck five. Though the whole time, I was thinking about what gift to give to Tsathoggua.
"Alright, everyone!" Jinn smiled and faced everyone. "I hope you all learned something today! You are all dismissed!"
"Goodbye, sir!"
Jinn grabbed his notes and book as the students began to grab their bags and leave. The doors were wide open and the room was filled with noises, mostly from the students chatting with one another.
Ryota stretched and yawned. "Hah~ Good thing there weren't many assignments today. I think that's a positive sign!" His eyes almost teared up from my observation.
Hmm... What will be a good gift for Tsath? Anything worth going outside...
Then, an idea got into my head.
"I have to go, guys!" With excitement, I stood up almost immediately and ran to the door. "I'll catch up with you in the dorms!"
I'm sure they were left dumbfounded but I had to go before the store closes!
.
.
.
A day had passed. It was a Saturday. Shinjou was looking forward to hanging out with Tsathoggua... if he ever succeeds in doing so. What was inside his backpack is a secret only he knows and is a... well... a "hostage" for Tsathoggua. Maybe you can take a guess?
Though, to save money, he instead walked throughout the journey. Regret was written all over his face. Ugh... I should've saved up some money to get a ride... Now I'm sweating all over.
But after that thought, he finally saw what seemed to be the building he was destined to go to.
"Ohoho~! Look who we have here! You're Shinjou if I'm correct. What are you doing at our guild~? Perhaps you want to serve me in my harem?"
Shinjou almost immediately walked around her and shook his head. "U-Uh, no, sorry. But have you seen Tsathoggua?" What a stupid question! Of course he'll still be in his room...
"Oh, you're looking for that huge lump of laziness?" Her expression seemed to have turned from joy to disgust. "He's in his room playing, as you may have guessed already." Her hand held her chin as she looked sad. "I thought you would've been wanting to become a part of my harem."
"Thank you! And no, I'm not joining your harem..." he added.
--**--
Creeeaaak...
Tsathoggua turns his head to find Shinjou entering his room, hands behind his back and smiling like he just found the love of his life.
"Shinjou!" he excitedly calls out and hugs him. "Why are you here? You here to play games with me, yeah?"
"Actually... quite the opposite." The high schooler looks down shyly. "I want you to spend your time with me outside!"
A deadpan face was written across Tsathoggua. Shaking his head, he declines. "Nope. I already told you, I'm not going outside. I'd rather—" He then widened his eyes. "Is that Hack and Slash 2?!"
Waving the disc, he nodded. "Mhm! I heard that the game still hasn't released its digital version yet. It only released the disc version."
"Gimme! Gimme!" Tsathoggua pleaded but Shinjou just shook his head.
"Come out and spend the whole day with me first~"
Tsathoggua's mind was then challenged. Should he risk going outside while getting the prized item or...? "Hmph! I'll just wait for the digital release, then! No deal!"
The student pretended to look pensive. "Ah, that's quite sad, then. Since I don't really play that many videogames, I'll just sell it to someone else—"
"AHHH! WAIT, NOO!"
--**--
"Ugh, I hate you so much..." The blue bear transient grumbled as the two of them walked inside a crowded mall. "You promise that you'll give me my disc after this trip!"
"Alright, alright! Promise! Geez..."
The mall was bustling with customers from left and right. Clothing stores, arcades, and even restaurants.
It was, as expected, crowded. And it's also what Tsathoggua hates the most—being around people.
"Why did we even come here...?" he asks.
"Why, of course, to spend some time! Staying inside your room isn't healthy, you know?" The student, not with a white shirt and casual clothing, smiled at the transient.
"I'm a god! I don't need to be healthy!" He scoffs, tightly grasping the vase he was currently holding along with the other blue jelly-like monsters inside.
A promising restaurant caught Shinjou's perspective. He pointed at it and said, "Hey, we should eat first over to that restaurant!"
Hesitantly, Tsathoggua agreed to that idea instead of declining. Just for his game disc, of course.
.
.
.
Their energy was spent after spending their time on many of the stores. Playing arcade games, eating snacks, and buying new clothes. Everything they did was quality time spent. Now all they had to do was to go back home since it was already getting late.
"T... That was actually... kind of fun, yeah?"
"See?" Shinjou pointed as a matter-of-fact. "You don't have to go outside, just you spending some time with me outside is good enough. Oh! Before I forget—" he rummaged through his bag and handed Tsathoggua the game that he's been waiting for. "Here. This is the game you've been wanting to get, right?"
Tsathoggua hesitated a bit before grasping it into his hands. "I guess this can wait to be used. I'll get you to your dorms first, yeah? Lots of weirdos might try to hurt you, yeah?"
"Wait, what do you—"
Before he could even process the idea, he was immediately teleported in front of his dorm by Tsathoggua's hands, bride style carry.
He gasped for air, trying to scold the transient. "H-Hey! Could you have warned me first?!"
"I see no harm in it." He grinned smugly. "Anyway, you should go and rest now, yeah?"
"Alright..." Shinjou smiled and chuckled. "Stay safe, Tsath."
"You too, yeah?"
--**--
Before Shinjou opened his dorm room, he saw someone that he had never seen before. "Oh! Are you new around here?"
"U-Uh, yeah... You are...?"
"The name's Shinjou from Shinjuku Academy. And you are?"
"My name is... Seiko."

bozer- he asked for who am i! he knows my name dude!! 
the receptionist- miss matilda reserved the presidential suite for you, enjoy your stay. *mac laughed grabbed the card key and said thank you and smiled *
they entered the room and were really excited. they got set up everyone picked a section of the suite.
riley-  i think i speak for everyone when i said that this is weird why matty reserved a suit for us?
bozer- i don't know but this is amazing.

boze- wait, so we came all the way to atlanta for this? 
riley - apparently that wasn't the plan, the things we were going to get back got destroyed when we were on our way, they didn't want to leave traces.
desi- but what about the hackers? we left them free? 
riley- matty said that they aren't important, the CIA know who they work for. they just need to get the archives back. 
desi- so we have to wait until you hack them? 
riley- * typing in her laptop* yup das it. 
desi-  i guess we aren't having fun today. 
mac-  definitely no.
its 3:00 pm riley is still working, while bozer is busy ordering room service and watching his favorite movies. desi and mac are on the other side of the room talking.
desi-  do you really think she can do it? i mean it seem that those hackers know what they are doing.
mac- riley is the best hacker i have ever know, she's the best at her work trust me, you have to trust her. 
desi - i get it but what is she don't? 
mac-  you don't know Riley.. she will.
Tumblr media
but they didn't know that this mission was especially for Riley. it's 5:15pm and Riley is tired but hasn't stopped since they got there still working without a break. her hands hurt from pressing the keys for hours. then mac approached to her to see how she was doing.
mac- hey how you doing, you almost done?
riley- yeah almost.. this guys are really good, their system is like..
mac- hey come on, stunt these guys, they won't know who hit them. but please can you hurry up bozer want me to read a script he wrote about some aliens.    *she laughed*

mac - hah yeah it was * he said while crossing his arms and looking at Riley, and she looked at him and  raise her eyebrows*
matty- so i didn't know if i should said this to Riley alone but i prefer to said it to all of you instead. 
mac- * looked at everyone in the room and said: its something wrong? *Riley looked scared and anxious but did not showed her emotions she kept herself calm*
Tumblr media
bozer- matty what's going on?
matty-  this mission was specially for Riley... Riley the information you recovered was from a mission this agent of the CIA was getting from a undercover job, unfortunately he was removed of the job, we don't know why. 
desi-  but what does that have to do with riley? 
matty- this mission was a test, if you could get the information back you would go undercover to finish the job instead of the other agent..

Summary: Usopp moves to the city after a year since his mom died in a way to feel closer to her. There he looks for a roommate and finds none other than Zoro himself. what fate has in store for them is left for a later date lol
Roommates
Usopp . Zoro
It’s been almost a year since my mom died. She’s been sick for a long time, so I knew this was coming for some time now.
Even so, knowing didn’t stop it from hurting just as much.
Since her funeral, all I’ve done is coop myself up in our house. I’d probably turn into a hermit if it weren’t for my neighbor, Kaya. She came around whenever she had the chance.
That was nice of her considering what she has been going through…
But the more she worried about me, the guiltier I felt.
I know that she can't help but take care of people. Hell, It's why she’s been studying pharmaceutics, but I also know she can do so much more with her life. She could be some big-city doctor or researching to cure cancer!
Wouldn’t that be so much cooler than being stuck in a no-name city, too small to even afford more than the one clinic it has?
In any event, that’s only one of the reasons why I’ve decided to move away for a while. I think some time out of this house would do me some good.
The city that I’m moving to isn’t all that big and a bit further than I’d like it to be, but that’s the point of moving, right?
One way or another, I chose this city because my mom fell in love with it. She used to tell me about how, when she was young, she used to travel all over! She’d seen it all. Every tourist attraction and big-name city, but there was something about this city that just took her breath away. She told me that this place managed to calm her need to be constantly moving. This is also where she got pregnant with me then later she moved back to where she was raised and had me.
As much as she loved it there, she wanted me to go out on my own and find a place that would ‘sate my most wild urges and fuel my deepest desires,’ as cheese-ly as she put it.
At first, I thought she was joking.
I thought that she only liked that place because it’s where she met dad… It’s also why I hated this city.
My father was a coward that ran away as soon as my mom got sick. Though, she never blamed him for it. I never got to as her why, though. Years later, I did ask her if I was right. That she only romanticized this place because she fell in love there. However, she told me that he was only part of the reason why she loved this city so much, and that if I didn’t believe her then I should go find the depth of this city for myself.
I debated with myself for the longest time. Whether this was the right choice, or if I was ready to set foot in the place I used to loath so much. But being here now, I feel so much smaller than I thought I was. I’m nowhere near the heart of the city, but the sheer enormity for this place makes it feel like it’s trying to swallow me whole.
Sure, back home we had a lot of open fields and the horizon was always noticeable, but here the buildings towered over everything. It felt like a tsunami that threatened impact but never collided. The horizon was replaced by millions of stars that fell from the sky and sat just out of reach so that if you got too close thy’d turn into someone else’s day. Someone’s life.
There are so many people here that It almost made it feel lonely. Being surrounded by so many lives yet being so far from them. A mirage in a desert, one could call it. It promises life, but the closer you get the more you realize you could never get close enough.
I guess I was too much of a coward to be as alone as I felt when I first stepped foot here, though, I’ll keep telling myself it’s because the apartments here are too pricey and I only managed to land a job as a gas station attendant. Nevertheless now I’m sitting on the first floor of a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment checking a roommate wanted ad I posted earlier this week.
So far there have been only two people who wanted to move around this area, but one ghosted me after a few messages and the other ended up creeping me out so much that I had to report his account! I just hope the last person that answered my ad isn’t as much of a weirdo as the previous two.
Tumblr media
They seem to be a bit curt, but I shouldn’t get too picky. Rent for next month is gonna be due soon, and there is barely anyone who wants to live near this area as is!
I’m sure that they’re nicer in person! I shouldn’t worry. It’s just two days.
Two days.
-2 days later. Thursday 2:30 pm -
When I arrive at the coffee shop, I walk straight to the back of the line. It isn’t that long and I’ve got here thirty minutes early, so I should have time for a drink before they get here.
Should I get something for them too? No, that’d be weird, and it would probably get cold by the time they get here.
The person in front of the line leaves and we all step forward.
Shit.
Someone arrives and lines up behind me.
I didn’t ask for their name! I don’t even know if they’re a boy or a girl!
The next person leaves and we take another step forward.
Is it too late to ask? Would it be weird if I did?
Another step forward
What if they’re a girl? Would they feel uncomfortable living with a guy?
“-ir?”
I did put on the ad I was a dude though…
“-cuse me, sir?”
“Huh?” The barista’s voice brings me back to earth. “Oh, sorry!”
“It’s okay!” her chipper voice rung out, “could you repeat your order? I didn’t quite catch it.”
“O-oh, sorry. Sorry. I didn’t mean to talk out loud. I was lost in thought, I guess... haha ...” I looked up to their hanging menu, more so to look away from her than to figure out what I wanted.
After putting in my order I take a seat at the very back.
Ten minutes later my drink was ready and my anxiety was rising again.
What if they don’t come?
Five minutes later and I sent them a message to let them know I’m here.
Tumblr media
Maybe I could’ve phrased it better?
That sounded weird…?
God, is that a typo?
five minutes later
They haven’t answered, but that’s okay! It’s only been five minutes. Can’t expect them to be by their phone 24/7 right?
I’ll play some games on my phone to distract myself. Yeah, that’ll be fine. It’s fine.
I take a big gulp from my drink
I downloaded that new game. My hopes aren’t high for it, though. I found it via a random Facebook ad. Hopefully, it’s not one of those scams that say 90% of people can’t pass level five, but it’s only ‘cus no one lasts long enough to get to level five.
Hmmm… it seems plays well. A bit of a lag but the graphics are awesome! The old-style, pixelated art and bright, neon, solid colors give it a very retro vibe. The ads between levels kind of ruin the experience, though.
Guess they gotta make money somehow, right?
I wonder if they’ll go away if I turn off my data and Wi-Fi.
I shouldn’t just in case the person I’m meeting tries to reach me.
Could be fine for a round or two, though, I’d anxiously suffer through all of it.
I shouldn’t just in-
A sudden scraping sound from the chair opposite of me jolts me from my hypnotic state. “Hey,” a green-haired man in front of me mutteres before taking the seat he pulled out.
Taking in his form as he makes himself comfortable, my mind begins to race. Green dyed hair with roots of black hair showing. Fitted, sleeveless Nike shirt and black basketball shorts paired with a white pair of sneakers.
Oh, god. What’s with the green hair? He looks super buffed. Am I about to be mugged? No, that’s stupid. He wouldn’t have sat- in a cafe, really?
I quickly glance down at my phone for the time.
Exactly 3. Is he super punctual? More than likely a fluke, but impressive nonetheless. What if he’s a perfectionist?
My thoughts continue to swarm around my head, buzzing in an insatiable mob until a humming silence washes over me. Like one of those box televisions from back in the day. Not broadcasting anything in particular, stuck on a blue screen, droning on in silence.
The sudden stillness in my thoughts came so abruptly that it almost gave me whiplash. That aside, I need to focus now and answer him.
“Hey, sorry I didn’t ask for your name-” I left my statement open so that he could fill in the blank“-Zoro”
“R-right, Zoro. My name’s Usopp,” I waved my hands like the gesticulation would somehow help my words form into a coherent sentence, “but you probably already knew that from my ad... Hah..” I gave a quick huff before pushing through my awkward inexperience with ‘interviews’. “I was thinking we could talk and get to know each other before I take you to see the apartment.”
“That’s fine by me,” Zoro relaxed further in his seat. “What do you wanna know?”
Right at home, ain’t he.
~Do you smoke? “No”
~Are you a messy person? “I don't have a lot of things other than clothes.”
Doesn't quite answer the question but ill take it.
~Do you have friends over often? “No”
~What do you do for a living? “I’m a bouncer at a bar near here.”
Explains the muscle.
~Can you pay rent on time? “Yes, actually I brought the first month’s with me. Your ad said that split cost between the both of us plus the utilities would be $487 right?” Zoro dug around his pocket before pulling out a folded wad of cash and handing it to me.
“U-uh yeah,” tentatively I reach over to take the money. “Yeah...” I doubt I can find someone else by the end of the month. Zoro’s my safest bet at getting a roommate before next rent's due. He doesn’t seem so bad, I’m sure we’ll get along just fine.
...I guess this means there’s only one more question to ask.
“Do you wanna see the apartment?”

ੈ♡˳ (bits of) high school senior!mark ft. college freshman!mark
ps - this was actually supposed to b a bonus to the dream as high school students series but i just graduated high school myself, so i thought posting this would b fitting!
congrats to all my fellow class of 2019 grads, we did it, u guys!!! :D
has already graduated and is now a college freshman in a uni in vancouver majoring in english (creative writing)
was last year’s senior class representative
but only because no one else wanted to be class rep and no one volunteered in the first place
not even mark himself volunteered but there he went,
bein class rep,
LMAO
it was a unanimous vote and the position was pretty much shoved into his hands
(ps this actually happened in my school a year ago in two grades!!!!! ninth + twelfth)
grew up in the school
like literally
his mom is a primary music teacher and Has Been a primary school teacher ever since mark was in primary himself
was That kid who had trouble with what to call his mom because she was a teacher but like???
she was still his mom?????
cue existential crisis at four years old
he got mixed up SO MUCJ
during class he’d accidentally call her eomma
and sometimes during dinner he’d call her mrs. lee
Please Help this poor KID
nyways
because mark has been in the school ever since he was a Child, everyone knows him
Like .  EVERYONE everyone
miss moreno from second grade? mark gave her flowers every teacher’s day
mr. pete from eighth? actual LEGEND, mark will never fail to respect that man
mrs. byun from fifth? mark tutored her kids when they were in middle school
has been with the school as it grew in population and in size
he was a student ambassador throughout his four years in high school
meaning when a family or visitors wanted 2 tour the school,
mark was the one to call
because he knows the school so well
“to the right you’ll see the elementary school playground! the flooring is non-slip so you don’t need to worry about your kids falling if they’re outside on wet days!”
[cut to: a bunch of high schoolers Including Mark during the last few minutes of lunch break on a rainy day, pretending to ice-skate and pulling each other on ‘non-slip’ flooring in the playground and very much.    slipping]
he knows teachers
also he’s a really good conversationalist and has mastered the art of small talk
especially with adults
adults love him lol
“MARK LEE TOOK HOW MANY APS?????”
“too many, brenda. too many .”
honestly didn’t have to, considering his major
but he was initially going into stem before switching halfway through sophomore year
a really hardworking boy
couldn’t feel the stress because he was already so stressed so it didn’t make much of a difference
renjun pinched him once while mark was spacing out during a study session and mark didn’t even flinch
it was worrying
mark lee?  
More like .       
mark.        Bee.
get it because the saying busy bee and mark lee and mark bee
i’ll stop
had a bunch of after school activities
so sometimes he would get home by six or seven pm
the latest was eight
always used the school guitar
there was a column on a guitar sign-out sheet where students had to write their name, grade, class, date, and time they took the guitar
and then!
there was a column titled Mark Lee
honestly everyone felt. Very empty when he left
like it was really weird for the younger grades to Not hear a random burst of laughter in the next room
and being like
“yup it’s mark again”
“how much do u wanna bet how lame the joke was?”
“bold of u to assume there was even a joke in the first place for mark lee to laugh like that”
the dreamies miss him and they stay in touch, obviously
they try facetiming him during school so that six of them can be together when they do, but it’s difficult when mark’s on the other side of the world and is also really busy
“are they nice to you there?” “are college students scary?” “i’m surprised they haven’t kicked you out yet, with how annoying you are”
mark ignores the latter statement (made by none other than hyuck) and smiles at the screen. or, at least, the dreamies think he smiles. the connection is pretty bad.
“they’re nice to me,” he responds. “do you guys remember jaehyun? he was there like. three years ago? basketball captain?”
the boys go silent.
“what grade were we in...” jaemin mumbles suddenly.
jeno’s eyes are wide. “were we even alive?”
“i don’t have enough fingers for this.” jisung chimes in.
“you’re all idiots.” renjun sighs.
hyuck quickly attempts to calculate everything in his head. “oh, we were like. sixteen. or fifteen? so just starting high school.”
chenle scrunches his nose. “the american system is super confusing.”
mark stares blankly at them.
“why do you ask, is he beating you up?” “without us!?” “how rude.”
mark doesn’t even remember what he was supposed to tell them, a smile growing on his face as he watches them collectively yell statements and battle cries they were never going to live up to. his heart stings with homesickness, but it’s soothed with endearment as the kids soon scramble to end the call when the school bell rings on the other end.
jaemin: “oh CRAP i have a test! i totally forgot to study!”
jeno: “i have to go, smith is going to kill me if i end up late for class”
renjun: “smith loves you, what are you talking about”
chenle: “hah, suckers, i have study hall~!”
jisung: “shut up, chenle, we all know you do nothing”
chenle: “says the one who watches asmr for an hour and thirty minutes straight!”
jeno: “okay bye, mark, we’ll talk to you soon!”
jaemin & hyuck: “love you!”
hyuck: “tell this jaehyun fella that he can’t beat you up!”
jisung: “not without us!”
renjun: “okay, bye!!!!!! we miss you!!!!!!”
“you’re all impossible,” mark says with a grin. “okay. don’t have too much fun without me!”
the kids all chorus their farewells, but it soon ends up being a competition on who can scream their love for him the loudest. the last thing mark sees before the call finally ends is jisung’s enlarged nostrils with chenle’s manic laughter in the background.
the screen goes black.
call has ended.
he looks at his reflection for a few moments, homesickness coming in full force. he turns his phone off, takes his earphones out, and leans his head back.
jaehyun, who’s across from him, smiles knowingly and sadly. 
“homesick?”
“dude,” mark breathes, throwing his hood over his head and pulling it over his eyes to keep everyone in the library from seeing his reddening, watery eyes, “dude, you don’t even know.”

It’d be weird to be in a long-term relationship with someone I didn’t have a crush on haha.

Is it past Eleven o'clock am? Way past, it’s 7:17 PM.

~G~ Are you a Gemini? Nope, but you’ve mentioned the star signs before and after my real one, Taurus.

How many of your Grandparents are still living? Three out of four.
~H~ Are you in High School? Nope. It’s been nearly four years since I graduated. :)

Have you ever been Ice skating? Yesssss it was one of my favorite pastimes as a kid. I never took lessons, I never learned a single trick, but I could glide for hours, and that was enjoyable enough for me. My parents used to drop me off at ice skating rinks while they did the groceries and went window shopping, because they knew I’d find those boring.
Can you play any Instruments? No. I can play simple tunes on the recorder but like almost everybody can use the recorder, so I don’t even count it anymore hah.

~K~ Do you regret your last Kiss? Not at all.

How old is your Mother? She’s 48, but is turning 49 later this year.

What does your Name mean? Last time I checked it means something like fame or bright or star.
Do you have any Nieces or Nephews? No, but I was already assigned to be a godson to my cousin when I was 15 which is close enough. About nieces or nephews though, I’m one of the oldest kids from our generation so if anything, my relatives are waiting on me and my other similarly-aged cousins to be the first ones to have kids haha.

Are you the Oldest child? Yes I am.

Do you have any Polish ancestry? I’m like 300% sure that I do not lmao.
~Q~ Have you ever been to Quebec? Nope.
