If you want paranormal stories, I have one.
A friend of mine in hs lived in a haunted house. I only visited once, at his birthday party, and I can say with complete confidence that the house was like SUPER haunted. His grandfather had died in the house, and my friend claimed that he was still hanging around (there may have been multiple spirits, but I'm not entirely sure). For his birthday, he invited a few friends to hang out in the house for a few hours. (We ended up staying til like midnight, spooky stuff aside it was fun lol)
So we do what hs theater kids do, we fuck around in the den, watching youtube videos on his gaming console and eating bday cake. I feel like I'm being watched the whole time, even when I'm alone in the kitchen, i felt eyes on me. At one point, I was alone in the den while everyone was in the kitchen. One end of the den led to a hallway. At the end of the hallway, someone's bedroom door was wide open, and I feel like there was someone in there staring at me. My friend later told me it was his grandfather's old room.
When the sun set, we put on a shitty horror movie. There were flashing light moments in the movie that lit up the den and an adjacent room that connected the den to the kitchen. During one of those flashes, I saw a white humanoid figure quickly pass from the adjacent room toward the kitchen. It was just a split second, and once the light changed it was gone. My friend and I shared a look. We had both seen it. Our other friends hadn't, though, they were watching the movie. My friend shook his head at me, asking me not to say anything abt it to our friends. i was pretty freaked out because I had never seen such a clear apparition. But after that, things quieted down. We went back to hanging out and watching yt until it was time to go.
I didn't really keep contact with him after he graduated, but I will never forget that experience.
id count yourself lucky. idve probably fought another kid till knockout for the change to have a haunted sleepover. i mean yea that's creepy as hell but at least you get the experience right?
i think brief glimpses and encounters with ghosts are the most unnerving, because if it happens with intensity and regularity you will probably get used to it, right? life goes on (pun intended) and all

well the fun just doesnt stop! the speeding ticket i got where the person in the picture is wearing a mask apparently is undeniably me and the ticket isnt dismissed so like i guess im out of fucking options and the police dont actually need evidence to give me this ticket if they want to so that means i get to spend probably around 230 on traffic school before the end of next month. and i made really great decisions this weekend which yes i take full responsibility for so im dead broke again and have my moms birthday coming up and would like to do the bare fucking minimum for her but that of course costs money and seeing her itself means im missing two days of making money and it costs a tank of gas to see her which is ridiculous. im probably going to have to ask my brother if its okay if im short on my rent giving the reasoning that i would normally ask mom for a loan and i obviously dont want to ask her that on her fucking birthday so im thinking hell understand but then i have another bill right after i would get back from my mom so if i dont make enough money before going up there im going to once again be scrambling to pay this bill while owing my brother money and then the weekend after my moms bday its one of my best friends bday the one who her birthday is sooooooooooooo fucking important to her and im just like dude i cant get you shit i cant help out with your party at all im not even sure i can sacrifice yet another two nights of not working to celebrate with you for 48 hours like i know you want. like im sure she would understand like its not within my total control here obviously i would love to have tons of money and like idk she can be upset sure but at the same time im struggling here lol. oh and to top it all off this is the first time ive hung out with my best friend alone in like 4 months and we were having such a great fun night although making really bad decisions and having great talks all fucking night and THEN GUESS WHAT he got fucking weird again and its like well great can i even spend time alone with my best fucking friend without him making me uncomfortable like do i have to question this friendship now because i guess he actually really did completely end things with his ex so what am i suddenly after all our years of friendship now for some reason on his radar??? does he just want to fool around or is he like trying shit with me? doesnt matter cause i dont fucking want any of that shit im genuinely not to be rude i see him as a family member at this point and im not in the slightest bit sexually attracted to someone i see as family like sorry. i guess it could be worse tho! i found 140 in my savings in another account so the fact that i didnt work saturday or sunday cause i was too fucking strung out was a little less severe. also technology popped off a bit with my lost card when i ordered a replacement it said that the ‘card’ on my phone will immediately update so i can access my main account without having to get a temp card so one less errand. and while i had a little bit of money the other week i did buy a little bit of groceries so i have been able to make it by not eating out since friday so woo. i went out earlier and stayed out a little later working tonight and did get a good amount of money. some gas stations are 40 cents cheaper for some reason although i didnt see those until after i filled up today so cool for tomorrow tho we know. ughhhhh im wondering if the constant stress of not having money is better than the constant stress of hating 9 hours of my day at a shitty job getting yelled at by random cunts im trying to help its really weighing on me! like i could just be making a lot of bad decisions thats probably the obvious detail here lol but damn its like it never ends. ugh lets be extra extra responsible for some time here and adjust

I haven’t posted here in forever, kinda forgot about this blog if I’m being honest.
Happy New Year!
Life has been alright,
We’ve had a few positives recently! We filled out an application for a house that we’re sending in later :)
But because of us moving I’ve had to stop going to dance because I don’t want to pay for another 4 month session and then move away so that sucks.
I’ve also discovered I might have celiac or I am gluten sensitive. We’re going to find out for sure after some tests on the 19th. I have all the Celiac symptoms and I’m very likely to develop it as I have another Autoimmune Disease already. (Arthritis) for now I’m not eating gluten. I had some last night just to see if I’d have symptoms from it again and woke up bloated and nauseous. So something is definitely going on there. I also think that could be why I always feel so exhausted. When I go a few days without gluten I feel more awake than I did all of 2023.
I will have to eat Gluten before the tests though or else they will be inconclusive so that’s no fun. Those few days are probably going to be shitty.
I stopped my night walks for now because we’ve had a lot of -20 days recently. So I’ve been walking/jogging on the treadmill before lift sessions. Last night was legs and glutes and I’m definitely feeling it today but it feels good. Going to start taking my Creatine again soon too! Very excited for that. I don’t take it over summer, only in winter because it makes me gain water weight for the first week. I will start posting my muscle results once I start taking it again :)
Christmas was alright, we got told we weren’t wanted where we live for Christmas so we went to my man’s parents place and it actually went better than any Christmas has gone here. Thankful for that!
My birthday is also coming up on the 21st, and I’m actually having a party for my man and I after not celebrating last year. (Man’s bday is feb 8) it’s easier to just celebrate both of our bdays at once. My man doesn’t like celebrating his because he doesn’t like too much attention on him so I told our friends we will celebrate him lowkey at the party. I’m really excited because my man deserves to be celebrated.
How have you all been lately?

survey #006
“vanity is never modest”
Whose was the last person’s birthday that you celebrated? What’d you do? Well, the most recent important bday in my life was my niece's, but I needed to stay home from the party and felt like shit about it. I had a bad health scare the day before and was finally recovering with desperately-needed sleep, and I just really, really didn't think it as smart to go to a loud birthday party with excited kids and a crowded house. Aubree thankfully seemed to understand; I at least did call her, and she seemed very happy. As for the last birthday I *did* something for, it would actually be Aubree's mother's literally two days prior, when we went out to eat Mexican. What’s the next major holiday that you’ll be celebrating? With who? How? HA, I do NOT consider this shit a "major holiday" esp. lately, but I guess I'll just use July 4th for this question since I'm actually doing something, though early. Girt invited me over to his place w/ the family for burgers and hotdogs, and that's all I know atm. I have no idea if they're doing any fireworks; I remember Girt doesn't like them for some reason (I'm curious, I should actually ask) and I don't support their usage anymore, so I would hope not, honestly. What’s the last moldy or expired food you found in your fridge or pantry? I don't know, but probably some sort of bread. I think a bagel, actually. What’s your favorite flavor milkshake? Eh, I get different ones depending on the place and what I'm in the mood for, but both the classic chocolate as well as vanilla shake are always strong contenders. Are you opposed to getting married? Are you already married? No, I want to get married one day. Are your parents divorced? If so, when did it happen? My dad by definition abandoned the household when I was I want to say 17. I hated his fucking guts for years, but I eventually reached out and apologized for terrible things I'd said and the general way I acted, and wanted to rebuild our relationship because what happened between he and Mom was none of my business, and I could not spite a person who simply pursued their own happiness. I am 99% sure his voice shook on the phone, and my dad is NOT emotional. I have seen this man with a tear in his eye ONCE, after he came home and talked about his mother's funeral. My dad had never stopped caring (Ashley and Nicole always told me he'd ask about me when they'd meet up and stuff), and to this day, the hate-ridden letter I wrote my father before we reconnected is one of my biggest regrets. I don't know how he so willingly forgave me and never once brought up my shitty behavior. Still hasn't. I know VERY VERY VERY DAMN WELL my mother is always going to hate us kids having a relationship with him, but oh well. He wanted happiness, and he got it. He was an angry alcoholic that only healed after the divorce, so shit, I'm glad it happened. Have you ever attended a bachelorette party? No. Would you rather act in a play or write a play? Write. I'm a very shy actress, honestly. What do you take pictures of most often? My cat, haha. Have you ever actually been a member of a wedding party before? Yeah, I was a bridesmaid for my sister's wedding. I was ABSOLUTELY miserable, though; this was still in the time period where I very, very much was not recovering from my breakup, so I cried a lot, mostly upstairs by myself where Ashley got ready. I have no idea if I'm related to this and am too scared to ask, but even Ash wasn't happy with her wedding. Have you ever gotten your period more than once in a month? Yep. I even once had one that lasted like two fucking weeks lkjadskfadaw Are you currently binge-watching any television shows? No. I hate binge-watching TV, I will eventually get very bored, even if I like the show. What’s the smallest animal that you’re afraid of? Ticks. Are you a fan of Harry Styles? I know absolutely nothing about him other than I think he's the One Direction singer?? I've never heard any of their music except I think that one that was insanely popular many years ago. Would you or have you ever visited a black sand beach? That is literally a honeymoon idea I have, haha. I know I want to one day, AND a pink sand one. <3 Do you put salt on your watermelon or do you prefer it plain, or not at all? I'm actually not a big watermelon fan. It's just too watery and never as sweet as I'd like it to be. June is Pride Month. What's your sexuality and gender identity? I'm a pansexual cis female. Have you ever found a four leaf clover? We actually had a patch of them at our old house. What month is your birthday in? February. What's something you have a lot of knowledge in? Meerkats top the list. If I know anything, I know them, lol. I don't consider myself an absolute expert, like I haven't properly studied them, but they've been a relentless obsession since I first saw Meerkat Manor and HAD to keep watching to know if Shakespeare made it, and I've taken every opportunity to read new reports and stuff on them. I just love them. Are you afraid of insects? Some. Have you seen a butterfly here recently? Hm, I actually don't think so. What's something you are bad at? Loving things in moderation askdjfalkwejfj;LJASKDLJFADhelp What's your favorite meat or meat alternative? Chicken, I think. What has been one of the best years of your life so far? 2017. Weird to say when the year literally started with a suicide attempt. Things can change, I promise, and fast. When did you last take cough syrup or a cough drop? A few weeks back when I had that cold. What was your last argument about? It was really an... argument, but Girt and I butted heads recently about a part of his personality I learned that I am not happy about. I have never in my life seen him angry, but apparently when he is, he's capable of being pretty mean. Now I want to IMMEDIATELY say that this is not in an "oh you mean abusive?" way, because no. He can just have a big, hard head and be rude and belittling in things he says. That's not the Girt I know, at all. He reassured me I'd never seen it because he doesn't let his attitude come out on people he loves, but I didn't care, cried anyway. We talked about it and it ended fine, him even saying he was thankful we could *have* these conversations and that I believed him perfectly capable to be a better person. Would you say you're photogenic? holy mother mary NO, do not point a camera at me. Does your place of residence have a skylight? Hell no hunny, we poor. Who did you last hug? My mom; she was starting to cry a bit over something. What room are you currently in? The spare one. What last made you cry or made you sad? My PTSD got pretty fired up a couple nights ago. Have you ever mowed your own lawn? No. Have you ever had a surprise birthday party? Well, no and yes. I think this might be the first time I talk about this in detail, but basically, my 16th birthday is one of my most memorable, but not for good reason. I don't talk about it because I don't want to sound all needy and like I think the world revolves around me, but the whole day just... wasn't a birthday, or at least what they had been up to my "sweet sixteen." I felt incredibly unloved for many reasons that I just don't want to elaborate on. My mom found out how I felt at the end of the day, when I broke the absolute hell down. It's strange, this particular part I don't remember that well; I can't recall how she reacted or anything. I just know I cried. So time-jump to... somebody's birthday, I think Nicole's, and Mom came out of the kitchen with an extra cake for me, singing "happy birthday." While of course I was appreciative, I remember feeling awful again for like, taking away from someone else's special day. This whole ordeal I just don't talk about. Do you like surprises? If they're good ones, only sometimes. My stomach gets upset when I'm nervous for any reason, so knowing a surprise is coming is not my favorite sensation. Necessities aside... what’s something you could not live without? The Internet, honestly. After being without a computer for two months and desperately hanging onto the Internet over my phone, I could NOT imagine never touching it again, period. Have you ever received a gift you did not like and told the person who gave it to you? Jesus Christ, no! That is so incredibly rude. They could have given you nothing. What are 5 things you are thankful for? All my loved ones, basic necessities, animals, music, aaaand of course the Internet lmao. How do you feel about giving your partner your passwords? Eh, depends on why and to what, I think. I don't have a strong opinion here, honestly. There are reasons it could be good, but also reasons it could be bad. Are you afraid of what’s in the ocean? Not horribly so; I'm more fascinated than anything, but I mean sure, the thought of the sheer size of some of the things that MUST be in there in absolute blackness is kinda scary. I already think giant squid are nightmare fuel. Do you think there are people who are capable of doing magic? No. When was the last time you visited a museum, if ever? WOW, the last time I went to a museum was years ago when my brother and his young son visited; we went to the local art + science one. That was a fun day, Christian had a blast. I would love to see them again, especially now that Bobby's married with a second son that only Mom has met. Would you ever own a horse, or have you? Horses are far more suited to be adequately cared for by others than me, so no. I adore horses, everything I know about them, but I do know they are incredibly hard work, and I'm not cut out for it. I never want an animal that is out of my ability to provide for. What is your favorite memory related to rain? Ugh. I read this and immediately knew the answer, and I hate it. When Jason and I were getting to know each other, there was one day after exams at school where he came down to the computer lab to hang out with me, and on our way back from lunch, we were Bad Kids and went outside to listen to the rain and chat under the overhang by the door. We wondered what the smell of rain was called and looked it up when we got inside. It's petrichor. Especially the early memories with him are some of the purest times in my life, both of us experiencing what pure infatuation with another person was. I hate that I kinda wanna just keep elaborating, but I really shouldn't, so moving on. Do you ever experience sensory overload? Gotta be honest, I don't know *exactly* what qualifies as sensory overload other than the very obvious "all my senses are exploding." I can DEFINITELY get very overwhelmed with too much noise, but I think that's normal? And does it *have* to be all senses at once? Do you have a hard time admitting you’re wrong? Nah, especially not as I get older. Have you ever written a love letter? I have, multiple times. Do you have a hard time making up your mind? You would not fucking BELIEVE how hard it can be for me to make up my mind. I get total choice paralysis remarkably easy, even on the most simple things. What color are the shoes you wear the most? They're just black flipflops. Would you rather have whiskers or claws like a cat? OHHHHH give a bitch claws What’s something you have a strong opinion on? Especially with recent events, abortion. Simply to humor myself, I've actually watched my FB friends list number as I've bombarded my feed with pro-choice stuff, and I was oddly pleased and humored to see it drop one at one point lmao is that weird??? Like right now all I want on there is to make my shitty "obligated to be on my list" pro-life family uncomfortable + mad. Like bitch, be mad. Because so am I. I don't give a rat's ass if it's mean, if you value a fetus more than a grown-ass complex human being, I want you offended by what I post. Do you prefer driving, riding shotgun, or being in the backseat while on the road? SHOTGUN & CONTROLLING THE MUSIC, AHHHHHHHHH If you ever played Mario Kart, what character did you always choose to play as? I was always Luigi, my Main Man Do you believe that Bigfoot is real? *shrug* I absolutely believe sasquatches existed once upon a time, but I find it kinda doubtful that they could still exist and not be caught and officially documented yet. Simultaneously however, if you know JUST how many sightings there have been, it makes ya wonder. Do you like to learn about different cultures? I do. Do you know anyone or have you ever been bitten by a wild animal? I don't think so, no. My younger sister was badly bitten by a domestic dog, though. Big ol' German shepherd. If I remember right, she still has the scars. Loves dogs to death still, btw, including shepherds. What do you normally daydream about? My future with my boyfriend, more than anything. Have you ever seen a tornado? Thank the sky and every fucking star in the galaxy that I have not because I would shit myself. I am deathly petrified of tornadoes. What was the last thing you apologized for? I don't know, actually. Do you know anyone or do you practice witchcraft? I think I mentioned in a recent survey that my sister Misty considers herself to be a witch and does some stuff. What makes you feel powerful? That's not really something I experience. What was your last coffee order? I don't like or drink coffee. If you had to wear a crown, what would you want it to look like? Ohhh something dark with barbed wire incorporated in it if it wouldn't poke my head all the time, haha. What was the last thing to scare you? GUUUUUUUUUUYS I do not know how to explain the dream I was having, but I DEADASS nearly dove off my fucking bed this morning as if I was going into water. Arms properly positioned and all. I woke up like mid-way hanging off the bed wondering what the fuck is wrong with me lmao Do you have to sleep with a blanket to sleep well? Yes. Have you ever had a peach smoothie? Hm, I don't think so. I would try it. What’s the last song you sang out loud? I'm pretty sure it was Ozzy's new "Patient No. 9." Do you own any sundresses? No; I feel like I've only owned one in my whole life, this REALLY cute one I had in high school that was primarily white but with a pattern of purple and black skulls, I want to say? Have you done any deep cleaning recently? No, but I do need to dust my room. Do you like reading people's survey answers? I read my friends', yes. Have you ever watched a meteor shower? No, but I would love to. Is there a light on in the room you’re in? No, but I have the blinds open so I don't really need artificial light. Have you ever been to a car show? No, I'm not at all into cars. Do you like grocery shopping? Not at all. Perhaps the best thing that came out of Covid was grocery pick-up becoming a thing, lmao. Have you ever been in a play? I remember when I was very young in Sunday school, I played Mother Mary for something. It wasn't like, a real play, just a mock one. Nevertheless, imagine getting a very young girl who didn't even want to be there to pretend she was supernaturally raped, gg guys. Do you have a large or small backyard? It's very small. Do you like blueberries? I actually don't really, they're too mushy. I enjoy the flavor of them in other things, though. What’s your favorite flavored water? Idk, really. Do you own a record player? No. Has religion ever come between you and somebody? It sure has. There are reasons that I hate it. Is there a scar on your body that you can’t explain? I have a lot of tiny ones that have just... stuck around after popping up outta nowhere, so yes. What would you say that most people know you for? In my real life, probably for being really mentally ill to where it aggressively limits my ability to do... a lot. What’s your favorite kind of juice? There's this strawberry lemonade Minute Maid drink that I REALLY like. What are you up to today? Nothing, really. Dealing with a stupid stomachache and stuffy nose again, wishing it was tomorrow so i could see my boyfriend. Do you wear hats often? I literally never wear hats. Do you have any nieces or nephews? A lot, yeah. Actually gonna make an effort to count them real quick... yeah, somewhere around 13-14. I always forget if Katie has four or five kids. Shit dude I might actually have more, I don't know if Dad's daughter that I've never met has children. Do you own a religious book? I sure don't, but I'm positive Mom has at least one Bible in here somewhere. What was a celebrity you liked as a kid? Steve Irwin was my hero. I still plan to get a cartoon-y pop-up style "crikey!" tattooed probably on my forearm sometime. What did you last eat that was spicy? I actually don't recall. What are your thoughts on horse races? Against it. Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I highly doubt a horse enjoys being kicked and stuff. Why did you last see a doctor? I had to get that sinus infection checked out and be put on something for it. Do you get light-headed after getting blood drawn? No. Have you ever spent more than $100 on a pair of shoes? Hell no. ... I actually shouldn't sound that appalled, considering I woud pay some real money for good spiked leather boots one day. Anything else though, get outta here. Do you trust the police? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. This is a complicated topic for me. Would you say you’re an impulsive person? Holy shit my mouth is when I'm extremely upset. Besides that, I can still be too quick to act, but not horribly so. What was the last restaurant you ate at? Some Mexican place I don't know the name of. Do you wear glasses? Sigh, I'm supposed to. I haven't worn them since the start of March though when mine broke; we couldn't afford an eye exam and then new glasses on top of that. Since I'm insured again now though, Mom thinks we can do it, but now is just getting a goddamn appointment that's not many months into the future... I WISH I didn't need glasses and that I could just do contacts though because I have been dying for a number of facial piercings lately that would just look dumb with glasses, but contacts are just noooot for me, and I say this from experience with them. What song did you last have on repeat? Haha, Rammstein's "Armee der Tristen" is on repeat rn. What a bop. What’s your favorite decoration in your place of residence? Uhhhh idk and I don't feel like thinking about it. Have you ever been to a rodeo? HELL no, you couldn't pay my ass to go to one of those torture pens. Have you ever held a chicken? Uhhh I don't think so, no.

Hello. It's my bday today! I just turned 19.
Write me a a b'day hc. SHOTO, TAMAKI, BAKUGOU!
THANK YOU BESTIE
heyyyyyyyyyyyy ☺️💜
happy birthday princess, hope you had an amazing day
Shoto:
Tumblr media
Shoto isn't used to recieve anything on his birthday, not even a sign of kindness. He didn't had time for this, he had to train — Endeavor would say.
So, he did his best to make sure you don't feel the same.
He patiently waited for you to get back to him, after partying, with a warm blanket, soba and a cake he made all alone.
A huge pile of presents is waiting for you as well, mostly because he dindn't knew which one to choose. There's plushies, a new pair of boots, expensive bags and some mangas.
When you arrive, he just looks up to you and smile softly, opening his arms so you could run to him into a hug.
He wraps his arms strongly around you, saving your scent and placing some sweet kisses on your neck.
"Happy birthday, darling." He tries to be as quiet as possible, whispering in your ear. "Did you enjoy your day? I waited for you."
You then tell him every detail of you day, still stuck on his lap. He stares deeply into your eyes, not missing a detail of your story.
"That sounds amazing, i'm so happy you had fun!" He says in a way that you can sense is honest.
"I love you..." Shoto gently grabes your hand and places between his. "I wish you the best, always. All i want is to see you smile, to see that beautiful, breath taking, light in your eyes... I'm with you, don't forget." That was his birthday wishes for you, he had been rehearsing for almost a week, anxious that he wouldn't know how to express all his fellings for you.
"I got you all this..." Todoroki points all the stuff you haven't even open yet. "But... there's one more important than the others." He moves you away from his lap, going to grab a small box — "Tiffany & Co" Is he for real?
The jewel is too cute for your heart to take, and it's matching. He puts his, and hands your necklace.
"I wanted to give something that would remind you of me..."
"It's lovely..."
He puts it on you, and kiss your lips with passion. Shoto then places you in the huge amount of blankets and gives you the food he cooked.
He jumps in and cuddles with you "Want to watch your favorite anime?"
Tamaki
Tumblr media
He took on a date, a picnic at the park. He prepared everything, there is fruits, candys, an apple pie and some drinks so he will be able to relax.
Tamaki wanted to give you something personal, so he gives you a handmade bracelet.
"I-i know it's nothing b-big... it looks s-stupid now that i g-gave you... sorry-"
"No, baby! I loved it, especially because you took time doing this just to surprise me. Thank you!" He cheers at the praise, showing his.
"The butterflies were so hard to m-make." He jokes a little, smilling at you, and you laugh with him to end the tension.
"And you manage to make it look perfect!" He blushes hard, trying to hide his face.
"I'm glad you liked..." You take him into a warm kiss, pulling him in by the collar.
"Y-you deserve the world... i adore you so much..." He curls on you, gesturing for you to pat his head. "I love you, bae... Thank you for everything."
"I love you so much" You answer, giving him the affection he is craving.
He serve you some food, making sure that you are enjoying every detail of the day.
When you two are done eating, Amajiki quickly packs all and take you by the hand, pointing the bracelets with a bright smile as your arms touched.
He takes you to a walk, you both just chat and chill. He then gets you a big bouquet of white roses, again blushing only to give you.
"White roses mean eternal l-love..." Tamaki shyly explains, kissing your hand.
"So you bought me the right ones, pretty, because we are a forever kind of thing."
Bakugo:
Tumblr media
Katsuki planned you a surprise party. He invited — better saying — ordered each one of your friend to come.
He cooked every food that was served and chose the elegant decoration of the room, making sure everything looked in the way he bet will please you.
Bakugo said he wanted to see you in your birthday, to give you your gift. So he invited you to his house, where the party will happen.
You didn't sense nothing suspicious from him and went only expecting him to be there.
As soon as you stepped into his house, a buch of "SURPRISE"s from your loved ones made you jump in your place, turning to Katsuki quite unbelieved that he did all this.
"Don't say anything... is your day, anyway, dumbass." He kisses your forehead and passes, going to Denki and Kirishima to have his little freak out away from you.
"BABY, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Mitsuki comes to you. "Happy birthday!!! We got you a gift, sweetie." By 'we' she means her and her husband, that is watching from the distance.
You are surprised that even your boyfriends mom got you something, and even more because it's a beautiful, perfect cloth.
"Katsuki bought you this." She hands you a big box, for the weight you guess is filled. "He is too shy to give you, but i'm doing this for him! Thank him later!" She smiles and let you alone to see what it is.
There it's, a HUGE plushie of orange a cat. You smile, taking the other box, seeing it's a delicate ring. You look up to him and your eyes met.
Instants later, he is with you again.
"So... old rag gave you this shitty thing..." He curses, but doesn't appear mad at all.
"Yes, it's so cute! Thank you, angel, i love you!"
"There's no need to thank me, it's what you deserve and-" You stop him with a kiss, firmly holding his waist.
"Tsc..." He mumbles when the kiss ends. "I love so much, idiot..." His face is all red as you kiss him again and again, interlacing your fingers togheter.
Muahh, happy birthday again 😽❤️

howdy! sooo it'll be my birthday in a couple of minutes (jan 5) so can I maybe request some headcanons about how Bakugou will celebrate his s/o birthday? owo
I wish you a very Happy Birthday, anon!!! Hope you have a great day and maybe these hcs make it even better 💕
I feek Baku would be really observant so he'd really think of a personal celebration just for you, completely focused on your preferences so that's pretty hard to sum up. This guy has to do everything perfectly soooooo!!!! I had to go with this one because no thoughts, head empty, I just imagined Katsu in a suit and 🦋 Enjoy!
Tumblr media
× it really depends if you're living together or not
× if you are living separately, he would stay up or put an alarm to wake him up a few minutes before midnight to send you the perfect text
× which ends up being "happy birthday, dumbass" at 00:00; 😒💕
× literally writes a paragraph declaring his love and deletes it because he's an idiot but he promises himself to make it up to you even if you had no idea
× if you're living together you'd be in bed by that time and even if you are asleep he would wait up to hug you tighter and kiss your forehead; he'd mutter a sweet gruff "happy birthday" in your temple, as if it's a secret
× now, if you're awake and answer back he'll freeze but go back to hugging you tight
× overall, know you can't make plans for that same evening
× "Be ready at 8 P.M." he'd order that morning, hands in his pockets and looking away
× whenever you get a text or a phone call from friends and family to congratulate you, Bakugou would be near-by gently smiling at your expression; you deserve all the praise and attention and oh, no, you caught his eyes, time to act like an indifferent gremlin—
× his parents will call you too also very early in the morning; Katsuki didn't tell you that his mom was messaging him like crazy to know when you wake up and when she's informed that you in fact did, your phone instantly starts ringing lol, he's definitely gonna listen openly and even participate in the conversation
× he's the type of guy to give you space to enjoy time with your friends and family so if you want to do it alone, he's okay with it; but even if you don't, he will take time to come at your celebration party with everyone and see you enjoy yourself
× can he make a wish too when you blow the candles? bc he can save it for his bday although he really wants to live through many, many birthdays with you
× anywho! around 6 in the evening you have to be home to get ready for your date
× which at this point you still have ZERO [0] idea what's it about
× have i ever mentioned Bakugou likes to be a provider and one of the ways he shows you his love is by gifting you things?
× well, well, what's that beautiful big box on your bed and the smaller ones surrounding it, hmm?
× he basically spoiled you with all the things you've been wanting to get recently; but in that big box you find a beautiful set of clothes ready for you
× you pick them up and just take everything in; you remember admiring this while out on a window shopping spree with your friends... were they onto this too? did Bakugou Katsuki actually went to them for help?
× meanwhile Mister Gremlin was behind you with a shit eating grin bc you're perfect and he's awesome, the best boyfriend ever and look at your face, everything was worth it and it just started;;;;
× no time to think, put that on and let's get going
× ????????
× he starts undressing you and helping you put everything on;; did he buy you shoes too?
× so you're glowing, a little bit overwhelmed and mostly confused which is his shit, ngl, but scoffs at you when you ask how did he get your sizes right??
× "What kind of shitty boyfriend would I be if I wouldn't?"
× followed by "Also—" he smirks "I've seen you naked many times, I know it by memory now, hmm..."
× make him shut up pls
× whatever, you shove him off and he laughs at your face before going to get dressed himself
× Bakugou Katsuki in a suit
× that's it, that's the headcanon.
× "You look—" he'd clear his throat as he finally meets you all finished at the door "—beautiful..." he's trying
× escorts you to a restaurant at the edge of the city and you recognize the name; fancy, classy and a little bit too expensive for your comfort
× but this man goes all in for you, ok?
× you dine in a private corner, have everyone attentive of your every need, the finest wine by the table
× he's been very gentle all night for you too
× gives you such a starstruck gaze whenever you smile or laugh you'd have to pause and catch your breath because somehow he's stealing your heart yet again
× who gave him permission to be this perfect?
× notes to himself how even if now he's just rising in ranks as a hero, he wants to be able to give you everything and more someday
× he places his hand on yours as you just converse about life, his thumb running gently over your knuckles
× as you thank him for the evening, even if it's yet to be over, he shrugs
× "Only the best for you"
× he'd take the same hand he was caressing and lead it to his lips, kissing it while watching you squirm under his gaze
× "Happy birthday, [Y/N]... I love you."
× this man may not be very vocal but his actions speak more than any sentence could
× he proves day after day that he wants you in his life, that he loves you dearly and that he's more than willing to do anything for your happiness
× sidenote; if you want him to do something more lowkey next time [ to which his heart skips a beat bc yes, good, you definitely aren't getting rid of him ever, so there will be a next time ] he'll scoff
× "Didn't I tell you that you deserve the best?"
× takes notes though; want lowkey? he's gonna give you the best fucking lowkey birthday ever;; he's gonna cuddle you so hard at home after you eat so much of the food he made, while watching movies so intensely and talking about your future so—;;;💀
× just be aware, when you're getting home it's time he unwraps his gift
× sorry not sorry, happy birthday 💕🦋💕🦋💕

Momotarou Birthday Headcanons
Tumblr media
a/n: this was written somewhat based off of a bug park in Fukushima called Mushi Mushi Land, but i had to improvise for the majority of it cuz i couldn't find much info on the place
also these were really fun to write, probably my favorite ones
as a child, he was that kid to have birthday parties at trampoline parks and those weird family fun centers (i've been to many of those)
he was also the type to invite his entire class to his party
ofc sei and isuzu were being jealous lil bitches (as kids do) but they got their own parties on their bdays dw
obvi as he got older his family eventually stopped having them
once his s/o came around, he'd spend his birthdays with u and his siblings
on ur birthdays, he'd go all out, giving some of the craziest experiences of your life
you wanted him to have a special birthday gift (literally for whatever reason i can't think of one atm) so you planned a whole trip for him
after doing quite a bit of internet research, you found a whole amusement park and zoo all about bugs
u invited his siblings to come as well for that extra mikoshiba fun
originally u wanted it to be a surprise but because sei can't keep his damn mouth shut momo found out soon enough
u figured it probably would've been worse if he didn't know cuz he'd be constantly nagging u about where yall were going anyways
first day, you made it to the hotel and relaxed after eating out and sightseeing in the early evening
the next day tho, yall had lots to do
making it to the park right when they opened, you guys were able to go on most of the rides easily and without any long lines
because of that, you guys got through almost all the rides before noon
tho sei and momo wanted to go on all the rides twice and they ended up having to stay in line while u and isuzu just sat outside waiting for them to come out like
anyways, lunch time 🤗🤗
bug themed food for momo because he's bday boi
momo was trying to feed you "beetle" juice (it was coke in a beetle shaped cup) and u tried running away but he started chasing u and sei was filming it
yeah it was just chaotic af
after eating, yall headed to the beetle petting zoo, aka momo's favorite part of the whole trip
the way his eyes lit up as he let the beetles crawl over his arm made u smile, you knew this trip was a good idea
to end off the day, yall ordered take out to ur hotel room and had a movie marathon because all the walking made yall exhausted
not u and momo sharing food and lowkey cuddling
sei really said "not in front of my salad"
making shitty tiktoks really late at night in ur hotel room>>>>
crashing at 4am even though u have to leave the next morning to get back home really was a mess, but it was all worth it if ur beetle obsessed bf had a good time

Bravado
part two to happiness
pairing: todoroki shouto x reader
warning: cussing. soulmate!au
word count: 4,060
a/n: here’s part one ~ part three 
✩✶✩❇✩✶✩
bravado: (n) a bold manner or a show of boldness intended to impress or intimidate.
✩✶✩❇✩✶✩
“Can we talk?”
You drove ahead ignoring the voice that seemed to be a constant nag in your life. Your eyes focused straight ahead as you gripped your case in your hands.
Cold. Unmoving. Stubborn.
You refused to give Todoroki your time of day as the both of you were called in for what would be the last time as Hero Work students.
“Y/n, come on,” His voice pleads slightly. It was a tone that you would never have expected to hear from Todoroki of all people, but you didn’t care. You didn’t want to hear it from him. “You can’t ignore me forever you know.”
You’re fed up.
Turning on your heel, you glare at your soulmate who had been walking at your heels. His eyes widening as your eyes locked with him.
“I told you not to fucking talk to me.” You seethe lowly. Todoroki didn’t speak as you licked your lips, your mouth feeling dry. “You agreed that night not to talk to me. I am letting you and Yaomomo live the rest of your lives fucking happy together, and you’re telling me that you want to talk?” You shake your head in disbelief as a cold chuckle escapes your lips. “Should I make my name turn gold on your wrist and forever hold your name in black? Is that what you fucking want Todoroki?!”
Your tone becomes too hurt, your true emotions bubbling to the surface. “I get it I’m not Yaoyorozu Momo! I don’t have money, status, and I don’t fucking have your heart! Stop trying to make yourself feel less guilty because guess fucking what! If you feel guilty? If you feel sorry for me?!”
Your chest is flying in a horrible rhythm as Todoroki just stares at you. His voice fails him, but you’re not quite done yet. You step closer to him, your finger jabbing against his chest as your eyes squint, your voice an almost growl, “I don’t want you to fucking apologize! I want the guilt to eat you alive. I want you to drown in your thoughts like I drowned in mine.” Angry and bitter tears welled in your eyes, and yet they refused to fall. “I deserve so much better than some shitty soulmate the universe chose for me. I hope you’re happy.” You smile.
Your cheeks are stiff, your lips are too tight.
“Just forget I exist.”
Even though you were searching for happiness, you still didn’t have it.
✩✶✩❇✩✶✩
Seven Months Later
✩✶✩❇✩✶✩
Morning routines were now a must for you.
First, you wake up and remove any ice packs and heat pads from any sore muscles. Second, you climb out of bed, your arms stretching well above your head as moans leave your mouth. Third, you removed the wristband that lay permanently on your left wrist at home. You walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind you as you turned on the light. Your eyes focusing on your reflection as you get ready for the day. Hair up, wash your face, brush your teeth, and use the restroom. You stepped back out as you grabbed a tube of foundation, and you looked down at your wrist.
Seven months after finding the person you were meant to be with, and the ink was still black. Except for Momo and whoever it was who had rejected her, it seemed that you and Todoroki were the only soulmates in the world to still have black ink after five months.
Seven months of routinely applying foundation onto your wrist. Forever obscuring the black letters that reminded you of your failed love. A promise to keep Todoroki happy.
The person that should have been yours but who decided that someone else was better.
Next, you changed into your hero outfit. Your costume fits perfectly, and the new addition of forearm guards helped to keep your secret hidden. Then, you stared at yourself in the mirror, a smile coming onto your face because you were happy. After seven months you were now a Pro-Hero who made people feel safe. You were happier now; happiness had somewhat found you after weeks of feeling broken.
Finally, you left.
Your bare feet hit the wood of the floor almost silently. Your body making it’s way over to your bed as you pressed a soft kiss to the still sleeping man.
“I’ll be back later tonight.” You whisper even though you don’t expect an answer.
Arms, however, wrap around you tightly. They yank you into the bed, and you squeal in surprise. Your protests are silenced as his body envelopes you, keeping you locked into place as chapped lips press softly against your temple.
“I don’t think I’m going to let you go,” He whispers to you. “I’m perfectly okay with you in my arms like this.”
“I have to go to work!” You laugh as you put on a weak attempt to squirm out of his arms.
“But I want to have you in my arms.”
“If I get in trouble, you’re so getting the blame for it!” You laugh as you look up at his smiling face.
Blond, bright, and sunny.
Kaminari’s bedhead made your heart squeeze a bit as you grinned at him.
“I just want my beautiful girlfriend to love me with all her heart before her soulmate steals her away from me any day!”
“And your soulmate?” You giggle as he presses a sweet and soft kiss against your lips.
“My soulmate is probably not in existence.” Kaminari sighs as his lips leave yours.
“Who says mine is!” You tease as you stroke your fingers through his tangled mess. “What if my soulmate doesn’t want me and I can stay with you?”
“You’re entirely too amazing to not have a soulmate, first of all. Second of all, whoever is your soulmate would be an actual idiot to deny someone like you.” Kaminari explains as his mouth grazes yours softy.
“What if I want to stay with you?”
“I’d probably piss my pants.”
“Gross.”
“You are too, but here I am loving you.” Kaminari chuckles as you roll your eyes. His mouth moving to press kisses against your face in a lovingly way.
“I love you, Denki, but I really need to go to work now.” You say against his peppering lips. “I just need to…” His lips press against your soft neck and your mind goes blank.
A small electrical shock shoots through your body. The sensation stirring you from your haze.
“I think it’s cute you’re so responsive and all, but you should get going.”
“You’re a fucking tease.” You pout but nonetheless roll out of bed.
You stare at your boyfriend, the lopsided grin on his face endearing as he stretches. Your eyes trail down his body. Staring at the muscles you wanted to ravish at this moment before he clicked his tongue.
“Down horny girl, go to work!” Kaminari smirks as he points at the door. “I’m going back to sleep!”
Your eyes roll as you walk away, finally leaving to work.
“Have a good day!” Kaminari shouts after you. “I love you, y/n!”
“I love you too, dumbass.”
✩✶✩❇✩✶✩
mina: hey, are you and kaminari coming to kiri’s bday dinner tonight?
you: we are! why?
mina: kami never confirmed, smh. okay! see you guys here then, everyones coming!
You stared at the word everyone, the word making you go numb.
While you held no more feelings towards your soulmate, you didn’t want to see him. You didn’t want to have to face him. After graduating, you had gone to Miruko to ask about when you two would no longer be working in junction with Endeavor.
Miruko had been all for it thankfully. She had thrown a strong guy pose as she exclaimed about you being tough enough to fight without help. Thus the working relationship with Endeavors agency had concluded.
Twisting your mouth you placed down your phone as you sighed softly. Your fingers sweat at the thought of not being able to avoid Todoroki. Could you really stand a full night of being amicable to a man you didn’t want to be pleasant to? The few days of school you had following the grand reveal had been hard, the two of you were entirely too strained and unfriendly with each other. You couldn’t act that way tonight, you knew that… but could you manage to do it?
A strong hand came slamming down on your shoulder, interrupting your spiraling thoughts as you whipped your head around.
“Are ya okay?” Miruko asked with a raised eyebrow. “You’re being weird and depressed. We need to head out soon though and I can’t have you on the field if you’re gonna be weird.”
You laugh softly as you rub your neck, your chest tight despite the easy-going smile on your face.
“I’ll be okay, I promise!” You say, patting her arm softly as if she was the one who wasn’t okay. “Just going to be meeting up with all of my old classmates tonight. It’ll be the first time since graduation night we’re all able to make it.”
“You’re gonna go see all those squirts?” Miruko laughed as she crossed her arms above her chest. “Well, as long as you still show up tomorrow on time I could care less.”
The resulting snort from your nose makes you groan, “You’re the worst.”
“Oh hush, you do better when I bully you anyway!”
✩✶✩❇✩✶✩
“I don’t think we’ve ever been here before.” You whistle as you look at the house where Kirishima’s party was being held.
It was going to be the twenty of you at this celebration. Your eyes glanced back at Kaminari who was currently pulling into the driveway. His hand holding yours as you looked around. The house was extremely nice; too nice for someone who had just turned nineteen.
“It’s Yaomomo’s,” Kaminari spoke, responding to your internal thoughts as he glanced at you. His yellow eyes glowing with joy as you nodded your head. “We were here the other day for Iida’s birthday.”
You nodded your head in realization. You had missed Iida’s birthday dinner because you had been held up at work that night.
“Do you think everyone’s here yet?” You ask as you see the different cars parked in the entrance. “Are we really always the last ones to arrive?” You laugh as Kaminari parks the car.
“We could be the first ones to arrive, but you’re never ready to leave on time!” Kaminari teases you as you both climb out of the car. You held onto the birthday gift the two of you had bought for Kirishima.
“I’m never on time because you take forever getting out of the bathroom!” You complain as the both of you walk hand in hand to the front door. The doorbell chiming as Kaminari pressed it.
Anxiety shot through you again as you tensed in his hold. Kaminari pressed a gentle kiss to your temple, the contact gratifying as your eyes close. Every worry is temporarily forgotten. As the door opens, your eyes fall back open. Your grin returning to your face as it’s Mina who opens the door.
“You guys finally decided to show up!” Mina exclaims as she launches herself into your arms.
“Sorry Mina, y/n took forever as always!” Kaminari apologizes as he gives the pink hero a hug before walking into the house.
“Alright, so a lot has happened since we last saw each other,” Mina exclaimed with a dreamy look in her eyes.
“I know you’re engaged, Mina.” You laugh as the two of you enter the house.
“But you haven’t seen the ring in person yet!”
You talked with your best friend as you went around the house greeting and hugging everyone. Your nerves made your skin crawl, but you still hadn’t seen Todoroki.
Momo was the last person you saw, her smile kind and warm as she embraced you.
Momo is your friend, you repeated over and over again as the creation hero chatted with you about what was happening in her life. Your smile felt fake again as you nodded about all the good that she had been able to achieve so far. Three minutes into the conversation, it felt as if it were eight months before. When you weren’t bitter towards your friend. When you were hopeful for whoever your soulmate was. You knew that Momo had no idea that you were Todoroki’s soulmate, or at the very least, she was doing an extremely good job at hiding it.
Her left-hand trailed to scratch her cheek as you and Mina stood before her listening to her stories with awe. Then something caught your attention. A simple yet elegant band sitting on her ring finger.
“Y-You’re engaged.” You stammer unintentionally as you stare at her hand.
Momo’s eyes look almost confused before her eyes snap to the ring on her finger, a pink blush overcoming her. Mina’s mouth dropped as she began screaming, but you fell silent. It seems that they had noticed yet, and suddenly your entire class was surrounding the three of you. Several hands stretching to take a glimpse of the ring on her finger.
Your world spun as you stumbled back into Kaminari who held your shoulder. You watched as his jaw dropped in his joy for Momo. The love and excitement in everyone’s eyes were so obvious, and it was so evident you felt as if you were an intruder.
It felt ghastly, could that have been you?
You push away from the crowd, but they don’t seem to notice you walking away.
His name burns against your skin as you walk out of the house and sit onto the porch.
It’s cold, chilly and quiet, yet you feel hot as you attempt to still your beating heart.
You thought were happy.
You believed you had found happiness.
So why were you feeling like this?
You deserved someone who wanted you as you were.
You needed someone who wanted you. They shouldn’t care about the universe’s influence like how Todoroki chose Momo without being fated. Guiltily, stubbornly, and pathetically, you wanted to be needed like that.
Yet despite your dumb wallowing, no tears came to your eyes as you stare blankly at the cars.
“You okay?” A voice asks from behind you.
“Just… overwhelmed.” You admit as you look behind you to see Kaminari who looks very concerned.
“Why’s that?” He asks you, sitting down beside you. He puts an arm around you and you sigh as you lean your head against his shoulder.
“Pretty soon all the girls will be engaged and I won’t be.” You lie and sigh. “It’s just weird.”
It’s silent for a while as the two of you sit there, staring at the scenery before you. Neither one of you knowing what to say. Despite everything, you craved to tell Kaminari about Todoroki and Momo being faux soulmates. Something inside you wished for them to no longer be happy, but you knew that it was petty and childish of you to think so.
“This entire soulmate thing is bullshit though,” Kaminari whispers to you, pulling you from your thoughts. “Some universal being decides that a single person in our life is supposed to be the person meant for us? Based on what exactly? Am I supposed to believe that my soulmate when they’re eighteen is going to be the same person when they’re eighty? Will I love them that entire time? Would I love them? Or is it because this dumb thing told us so? Do we really fall in love with our soulmates organically? I believe some people fall in love with theirs because of the dumb tattoo, which makes knowing who your soulmate worthless.”
Your eyes flutter towards Kaminari as you grin softly. Your boyfriend really surprised you at times. “That’s very insightful of you, Denki. Where’d you steal it from?” you tease as you press a kiss to his cheek.
“It was on a t-shirt I found at Hot Topic.” Kaminari chuckled as he nuzzled his nose into your cheek. Your resulting giggles lightening the mood.
“I knew it.” You sigh as Kaminari presses a kiss to your lips.
It’s gentle, sweet, and soft.
Your eyes closed as his lips dance with yours, your heart fluttering as you press closer.
Kaminari cups your face, his head tilting against yours as your mouths share secrets with each other.
You pull away as soon as his tongue pokes against your lower lip, your eyes rolling as you laugh. “Easy there, horny boy.” You say as your fingers tangle into his hair. “We’re in public, and it’s not our place.”
“You think I won’t fuck you in front of all of them?”
Your face twists as you shove him, “I would never let you do that, nasty.”
Kaminari’s sweet laughter makes you grin as he pulls you back into a gentle embrace.
There you two sit, enjoying each other embrace as his hands take yours into his.
Everything’s calm, peaceful and serene.
Your fingers tracing against his palm as everything feels okay again.
That is until Kaminari suddenly tensed, and a bright white light overcame the two of you.
Kaminari trembled in your hold as your eyes widen, soft gasps escaping his mouth as he crumbled against you. Your eyes looked immediately at his left wrist and the weirdest sense of elation and nausea hit you.
There was a name.
It was just a name, and yet you found yourself peeling away from his touch and shifting away from him. Your right hand unconsciously rubbing your right wrist.
“Y-Y/n…” Kaminari whispers as his eyes look so at peace. “Was that—”
You nod your head, a small and happy smile on your face as you point at his left wrist before continuing to rub. “Who’s the lucky person?” You ask as Kaminari stares at the black ink.
“It doesn’t matter,” He says as he drops his hand. “I’m with you right now. What I said about soulmates doesn’t change just because I have one now.”
“It’s not going to hurt my feelings, you know?” You laugh as you nudge your maybe-ex-boyfriend. “I know you better than you think Denki! Even if you don’t agree with soulmates, you want yours.”
Kaminari stares at you, his eyes are obviously full of sorrow for you.
“Y/n…”
“Their name, dork.” You press as you smile broader. If there was anyone in this world who deserved a soulmate, it was Kaminari Denki.
His yellow eyes glance down towards his wrist, and he sighs, “Her name is Jia.”
Your eyebrows raise, “I don’t know a Jia.”
“I don’t either.” He pauses. “Should we try to find her?”
“Let’s wait for her to finish high school first,” you say. “If she’s Japanese at least.”
“I don’t know how to pronounce her last name…”
“Oh, an international soulmate!” You gasp, and your hands cutely press against your cheeks.
“I knew I was meant to—,” Kaminari paused as he stared at your wrists. Your hands dropped as you looked at your flesh as well, your eyes widening as the black ink shone through the foundation. “Was that—?”
“No,” you interrupt, hiding your hands behind you. You shove the sleeves of your shirt further down your hands. Kaminari’s eyes search your face, his finger pointing at you.
“That was your soulmate’s name…” Kaminari blinks as his eyebrows furrow. “You have a soulmate?! Why have you been lying?!”
Kaminari’s voice wasn’t angry; it’s confused. His eyes searching yours for answers, for a clue that you had left behind. But you feel your throat thick with emotion as you shake your head. The tears are back in your eyes, and yet they still won’t fall.
“It doesn’t matter.” You whisper.
“Of course it does!” Kaminari insists. “Is it Mineta? Because if it is, I will personally make sure he never does you dirty!”
“I-It’s not Mineta!” You laugh, your fingers raking through your hair. “You know he wouldn’t have been quiet about it if it had been me.”
“Okay, true, but come on!” Kaminari leans in close, his eyes glued on yours. “Who is it, y/n?”
“No one you know,” You lie.
“Come on, you wouldn’t be hiding if I didn’t know!”
His hand snatches yours and you’re helpless as he drags your wrist into his line of view.
“Todoroki Shouto!” Kaminari cooes as he glances at the name and looks at you, his eyebrows wiggling. “Wait, what?!” He just about screams.
“Denki!” you hiss as you cover his mouth. “Shut up!”
“What about me?” A voice asks from in front of you.
It’s then that you truly feel at a loss. Your body stiffens as Kaminari is mid-lick.
Todoroki stands a few strides from the entrance, his hands holding a present as he looks at the two of you. His face is almost emotionless. It’s neutral, yet curious, as to what’s happening.
“Nothing.” You say immediately as you drop your hand. Your eyes glaring at Kaminari as you wipe his slobber onto his jeans. “You clearly misheard Denki say ‘Moroki Koto’, he's a new idol.”
“I know what my name sounds like.” Todoroki remarks as he stares at you. You can’t read the emotions in his eyes, but you don’t like being stared at by him of all people.
“Can you please explain what’s going on?” Kaminari asks as his eyes shift between the two of you. “I thought Todoroki was soulmates with Yaomomo? You can have more than one soulmate? What the hell?”
“You only have one romantic soulmate.” You whisper as you refuse to tear your gaze away from Todoroki.
“Did the universe make a mistake?” he mumbles and you shove him as you stand up.
“It did,” you say, standing up and brushing off the wrinkles in your outfit. “Right, Todoroki?”
“Y/n, that’s not—”
“NO!” You yell. You glare at him, Todoroki’s eyes widening as he looks at you. “Don’t speak unless you’re agreeing with me.”
“We can’t act like adults here?” Todoroki’s eyes roll as he steps closer to you, his eyebrows furrowed, and frown set on his lips. “I really can’t speak to you ever again? Is that how it is?”
“I don’t want to hear anything coming out of you, to be frank,” you snark as Kaminari shoots to his feet. Kaminari's hands flail as he tries to run interference.
“What’s going on?!”
“Nothing!” Todoroki and you shout in unison.
“Seven months?” you say taking a step towards him. “That’s all it took?”
“I could say the same about you.” Todoroki snaps.
“Yet here I am without a ring,” you hiss as your upper lip curls. “You really went and proposed and had the fucking balls to try and confess everything to Denki right now?”
“You don’t even know what you’re talking about!” Todoroki insists as the two of you face off. You’re so close that your noses almost brush. Despite how your heart longs for the man in front of you it's your anger that prevails.
“Is everything okay?” Momo’s voice asks.
Your head whips around for a second. You see not only the engaged woman who captured your soulmate’s heart before you had a fighting chance but everyone else. But you’re exhausted, and you’ve long given up.
You just wanted to be happy and in love, and you weren’t going to have that choice with him even with his name inked into your skin. You deserved happiness and you knew that.
It’s almost as if Todoroki is able to read your thoughts. His jaw drops to speak as you turn around, presenting his name on your wrist.
“On my birthday seven months ago, I found out that Todoroki Shouto was my soulmate. He rejected me, and now seven months later I’ve been adhering to what makes him happy. So while I do wish you, Momo, happiness and love with Todoroki, I can’t keep being unhappy for your two sakes.”
Everyone’s eyes shot over towards the engaged girl as you turn on your heel and walk away. The tears in your eyes finally drop, and yet they don’t bother you.
You’re uncaring about the shouts and clamors of the truth that was presented. Despite the guilt that bubbles in your throat because of the petty reveal you gave, you feel light.
For the first time since that night seven months ago you feel truly and completely happy.

Aight here’s a 16teen-esque mall au for the ppg that I’ll never write, but enjoy thinking about and have heavily outlined (its long, so most is under the cut):
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup aren’t related in this one, but you’d figure they were. Bubs/Buttercups are fraternal Twins (Mom/Dad=Keane/Prof)
Blossom’s mom is Ms. Bellum, who is dating Ms. Ima Goodwoman. Sedusa is actually a good woman in this lol, she just doesn’t vibe with blossom very well.
It also doesn’t help that Ima’s son, Butch, is now an even more permanent fixture in Blossom’s life. She had always thought school was enough. 
Later on in the story, Bellum and Ima get married and Butch&Bloss have to come to terms with being step siblings (they break up their parents and end up having to parent trap them back together)
This new relationship between Butch&Bloss works out perfectly for Brick because Brick’s bestfriends with Butch and also has a low-key crush on Bloss. They have English class together and while he very much has a goth persona that he can’t compromise (obviously) by a preppy girl like Bloss, he still enjoys fucking with her. Too bad she has that boyfriend :(
Wait what happened to the mall part?? Here we go: 
So, to preference, Bloss is a very smart young women. A real intellectual. Tons of smart extracurriculars. She’s definitely going places, but an Ivy League school costs money. So, she gets a job at the local mall in the bookstore. Bookstores in malls aren’t doing to hot financially and hers gets bought out. It’s going to be replaced by a more mainstream Barnes and Noble, but applications for employees don’t open up until after construction. She’s out a job and for some reason (maybe it’s her horribly inconsistent schedule) no one’s hiring her!! She’s worried about a gap in her resume, but her Mom ends up having the hookup. Turns out her mom’s boss (the mayor, who’s not the Mayor in this one) actually owns the lone hot dog (& pickle) stand in the mall, and it needs a new person to man it. 
(((This is a call back to when blossom, in the show, had to get a job at that hot dog stand 😂 she has to wear the same uniform with the stupid hat. )))
Her best costumer is actually Mayor, which perplexes Blossom because that can’t be a financially sound business move. His weird wisdom guides her.  
ANYWAY, she takes the job and finds out the stand (and the embarrassing uniform) is unfortunately located in front of. . .
. . .HOT TOPIC. 
Who works there??? Lol obviously Mr. Doom and Gloom himself--Brick!
So, Brick’s pretty much the manager there, right? Wrong, but he is a decent employee. He doesn’t actually need a job, but he’s a counterculture rebel, right?? And rebels go against their parents wishes, right?? And his dads (Mojo and Him) don’t want him working in a filthy mall because they’re rich and there’s better things to do. But he’s pretty anti-them so (🖕) he gets the job (Mojo also does not at all understand goth culture)
And then, because the gods favor him, not only does he end up getting to bug Bloss in English, but ALSO on his work breaks. He ends up eating more hotdogs then he ever thought he would in his life, but also, eventually, ends up becoming her study partner. Another fun and great thing for him is that as the story progresses he gets to watch her relationship with that-Jared-guy crumble right before his very eyes, which just adds fuel to his fantasy fire. 
So tbh this story actually really works out for Brick. He gets to spend time with the girl he secretly likes and has a decent shot at getting her to date him!! Blossom, on the other hand, suffers, but who’s there to help her through this suffering?
Well, obviously, Bubbles (and BC)! Bubbles works at Claire’s. She does well on the floor, but does not at all like piercing ears. She’s not good at it. She messes piercings up too frequently and blood freaks her out. Her coworker Mary often has to step up and do it for her. Still, she likes all the sparkly stuff in the store, so it’s generally a good fit. As of right now, Bubbles really just vibes in this story. Her biggest source of conflict is with Boomer, who works at the Spencer’s across from Claire’s.
Boomer is what Brick calls a shitty scene kid. He isn’t, Brick’s just mean, but Boomer rolls with it. Tbh he just likes dying his hair a shit ton of colors. He isn’t an ideal employee and is often found taking one too many breaks, but he’s charming and doesn’t make too many bad jokes about the dildos on display in the back, so they keep him around. He should honestly be on Claire’s payroll instead, because when Mary’s not available he’s the one who does the piercings (and the right way too, he might add, not with that fucked-up piercing gun) for Bubbles. And while that might make him seem like an overall helpful guy, do not be fooled. Bubbles always pays a price.
Boomer also has a shitty mom (femme fatale; she didn’t want a son), so his at-home life isn’t great, but he puts on a brave face. Brick and Butch essentially share custody of the boy. He has a room at each of their homes, which throws Blossom for a loop because not only does she have to share space with Butch later in the story, but also with Boomer (who she ends up tutoring). 
Speaking of Butch, he was fired from Spencer’s after Boomer got him a job there because he was “immature.” He was also fired from Hot Topic for basically the same reason. Then he landed a job at the Sporting Goods store, but again ended up getting fired (but this time it legitimately wasn’t his fault. His manager was just out to get him, as explained later) Now, he works for the malls arcade arena (they have go-karts and bumper cars; it’s one of those good arcades, ya feel?), so he runs a lot of kid’s bday parties. And to everyone’s surprise, he’s actually really good at it. Apparently, Butch really vibes with kids jacked up on sugar. Parents like him too because he flirts with the moms and pulls the dads into “friendly” but competitive go-kart racing betting pools. 
The person doing the actual hard labor at the arcade is Robin. She gets stuck in the chuck-e-cheese-like costume way too often. She’ a good voice of reason for everyone else, especially Butch. She’s his favorite co-worker.
Going back to the sporting goods store. Buttercup works there. She’s the best sales rep they got. It helps that she’s crazy athletic and is on track to get a pretty decent scholarship with some D1 schools. (What’s she play? Idk? Whatever your heart wants) She can’t say though that she’s the most popular amongst her coworkers. She got in a fight with Mitch, which also meant she got in a fight with the twins that follow Mitch around. She definitely didn't get along with Butch when he worked there. And she thinks her manager’s kind of creepy and he’s only gotten creepier since his partner Snake broke up with him
She doesn’t know why Snake broke up with Ace, but she’s pretty sure it has to do with Butch getting fired
Now, this one’s going to throw y’all for a loop, but the reason she gets in a fight with Mitch is because Mitch was picking on her boyfriend Elmer (THATS RIGHT IM SHAKING IT UP—but don’t worry 😏 I love the greens too much).
Elmer works at the comic/geek shop with Mike. She obviously likes her boyfriend and is big buds with Mike. Elmer’s pretty insecure tho and thinks BC’s going to break up with him all the time. This really bums her out. She doesn’t get why he thinks that (b/c she’s out of his league, but she’s oblivious) because she really likes him. Unfortunately, it gets to the point that she eventually decides she has to break up with him because she can’t convince him to trust her (still their relationship is cutesy side plot for a long bit). It’s her first big heartbreak. A heartbreak that is. . .
. . .ideal for Butch because he’s realized he has more then friendly feeling for her. See they weren’t friends AT ALL beforehand, but his new sibling relationship with Blossom has catapulted BC squarely into his life. Slowly they end up going from workplace enemies to eh to friendly to friends to (😉).
A significant turning point in their relationship happened to involve Ace. Butch was on his smoke break and saw Ace making Buttercup uncomfortable. That same night he sees Buttercup trying to leave and Ace/his gang are trying to pressure her into following them. Butch takes offense to this and ends up walking Buttercup to her car. She argues she doesn’t need him saving her, which he readily agrees to, but explains that any excuse to beat that creep Ace up is a good excuse. Afterward, anytime BC has to work close, Butch walks her to her car.
Eventually, he explains to her that he was the one who inadvertently convinced Snake to get out of their toxic-ass relationship with Ace. Ace found out and that’s why he was fired. So, now, he has real beef with the guy. Him and Ace don’t get along at all. To the point where Butch was banned from the sports store, but he sneaks in to see his friends and mess with BC. 
HAHA does the story ever end???? 
The story ends when Barnes n’ Noble opens. Blossom gets the job, ditches the old boring boyfriend, gets the goth boy, saves her mom’s relationship, and gains a sibling. 
The format of the story would be pretty episodic, with a conflict/resolution in each chapter. But what’s written above highlights the over arching plot lines
and holy shit! how could I forget the cherry on top??? Brick and Princess are cousins, and she does NOT let him forget this. 
((If you want more specific details ya gotta ask. there’s a lot more then just this.))

Do you tell your mom and dad everything? No. Who was the last person you talked about something that was bothering you with? Most likely my mom. What’s your favorite musical? I don't like musicals. Who did you last share a taxi with? I've never been in a taxi. If you’ve ever tried drugs or alcohol, what was your reason for first trying it? I've never done drugs, but the first time I drank was actually an accident. I'd come in from a long, hot walk, and I desperately needed water, and Mom offered me what I thought was just pink lemonade. Turns out it was a Mike's Hard Lemonade and I CHUGGED it before everyone around me was like "NOOOO!" because it was alcohol lmaooo. If you were far from home and needed to sleep for the night, would you choose to rent a crappy motel room for $60 or sleep in your car for free? I'm sleeping in my car. I'm afraid of things like bed bugs. Is there a situation where you caved into peer pressure and regretted it? I don't think so? Have you ever rolled off your bed in your sleep? Pretty sure no. What is your favourite planet? Saturn! Do you enjoy Mario games? Not really, honestly. They're just not my style. Mario Kart is fun every now and again, though. What flavor fruity drink is your favorite? Strawberry, in most cases. Ever done a keg stand? No. Who is the last person you lent money to? My mom. Do you have any health problems that are unusual for your age? I have carpal tunnel in my wrists from typing so much, but I'm not sure how "unusual" that is for young adults nowadays... I feel like there's something else, but it's evading me right now. Do you bite your nails? No, I pick/peel at them. :x What’s the longest nap you’ve ever taken? Oh god, hours. To the point it no longer really qualifies as a "nap." When people ask you about school, what is your usual response? Do you enjoy talking about school? Why or why not? I get all awkward and just reply that I gave it numerous shots, but my mental health couldn't handle it. I hate talking about school because I feel like a failure. Do you know how to fill a car’s tire with air? Have you ever had to do it? No to both. Do you like your best friend’s parents? Why or why not? Omg I LOVE them. They are spectacular people with massive hearts. I especially am drawn to her dad, whom I find incredibly inspiring. Both her parents are just great. I miss 'em. What do you like in your hot cocoa - marshmallows, whipped cream, candy canes? Do you even like hot cocoa? I loooove hot chocolate. I really just prefer it plain, but you can toss a few marshmallows in there. Which do you have a problem with: over-eating or under-eating? I'm way more likely to over-eat than under-eat. A girl likes her food lmao. The last boy you kissed, good-looking? He's by no means ugly, but I wasn't physically attracted to him personally. Do you love him? Not romantically, but definitely platonically. Do you like cherry Pepsi? I like cherry Coke. I don't like Pepsi. When was the last time you were given flowers? Ummm... I want to say the last time was many years ago when Tyler visited for the first time when we started dating. What do you want to name your children? I don't want kids. But hypothetically, Alessandra and probably Damien. Would you ever write a letter to someone you haven’t met yet, like your future spouse? No. I'd probably get too emotional anyway. Do you carry a mirror in your purse? No. Do you believe that there is beauty in everything? I've always thought this was such a stupid idea that tries to make reason out of life and its tragedies. Like yeah, cancer, rape, murder, etc. are definitely "beautiful." There is absolutely no beauty in a vast plethora of things. The first time you smoked, did you cough like a fool? I've never smoked before. When you were younger, did you have a Neopets account? Oh, yes. I loooooved Neopets, but not quite as much as Webkinz. I've actually remade a Neopetz account multiple times because I'd forget my info, ha ha... Who was the last person you got in a fist fight with? I've never been in a physical fight. Did you and your mom ever have a big fight that caused you to move out? Not "move out," no. We did, however, have a fight where I stayed with Dad for I want to say a week, maybe a bit less.

No. Do you always feel like you’re making mistakes? Like constantly. Does your animal sleep with you? Roman usually does, yeah. Do you have any baby pictures of yourself on your computer? No. Mom has those in photo albums. What kind was the last chip you ate? I want to say traditional Lays? It was at my nephew's bday party. Do you eat onion rings? No, I'm not a fan. What was the last thing to disgust you? I think it was some thumbnail I saw on YouTube, even though it was (weakly) blurred. Where do you see your ex in 5 years? "The" ex, I don't want to think about it. Probably somewhere great for him, but would break my heart if I knew. Do your parents swear? Dad swears big time, while Mom tries to hold it back. You won't hear her say something like "fuck" unless she is SERIOUSLY upset. Do you ever drink warm milk? Warm milk sounds literally disgusting. Would you be really upset if Facebook ceased to exist tomorrow? No. I literally just came back from my break from it, so it'd be more funny than anything. The universe's way of telling me "nah, son." Who do you know that wears the most makeup? My friend Summer, but then again she's a cosmetologist. Have you ever had bronchitis? No, thankfully. Jason had it BAD once and I will neeever forget that cough, good Lord. Do you like to wear makeup? I hate applying it more than anything. Like, I love that it can help me feel prettier, but I pretty much never wear it because it's just a pain to put on, especially by myself because I have bad tremors in my hands. How many times have you been to the ER? Way too many times for being suicidal. How often do you feel lonely? Honestly, pretty much always. When are you most uncomfortable? I dunno, man. I'm always uncomfortable about one thing or another. Has anyone ever revealed a secret about you? Not that I remember... Have you ever revealed anyone else’s secret? No, that is such a shitty thing to do. Have you ever had a family member/friend that was hospitalized? Yes. Have you ever been in trouble with the law? No. Is there anything you want to experiment with? I mean, nothing that quickly comes to mind. There are things I want to try, but nothing major. What do you hope happens to you after you die? Mixed feelings. Sometimes I hope there's some sort of nirvana-like state we experience, I think it'd be wonderful to be reunited with loved ones, but I also sometimes think it'd be best if we just... stopped existing. Consciousness just stops. I dunno. I'll find out eventually. What is the most disgusting thing you have seen in person (not on TV)? Probably a maggot-infested deer corpse that I faintly remember from where I used to live. I thought it was the sickest thing ever lmao, in both senses. What is something others make fun of you for? Always holding some sort of technology. Just don't fucking comment on it. It makes me self-conscious as hell. Is your life turning out like you pictured it would? QUITE THE FUCKING OPPOSITE. Do your initials spell out a word? No. Has anyone ever given you roses? Yeah. Last baby you held? My older sister's youngest daughter. Whose wedding were you in the first time you were a bridesmaid or groomsman? My aforementioned sister's. What is something you would never do to your body? I mean, there's a large number of things. There are certain piercings and tattoos I wouldn't dare to get, I plan on taking care of my hair as best I can to avoid ruining it despite wanting to dye it a lot... *shrug* Stuff like that. How are you planning to decorate your house for Halloween? I don't know if we'll decorate. We haven't really for a few years now... I don't have the motivation to do it myself, and now that it's just me and her and I'm grown up (I know, I'm laughing too), Mom doesn't really bother with doing it. I know I DO want to carve pumpkins this year, though. Dunno what, but I'll figure it out. Ever lived in a trailer park? No. Do you like salsa that has fruit in it? NOOOOOOOOOOO Can you count in binary? No. Do you like hard or soft pretzels better? I'll eat both, but I have a strong preference for soft ones. When was the last time someone kissed you on the cheek? Who was it? I'm sure that was either my niece of nephew when I was leaving their house when I last visited for Ryder's birthday. What kind of ice cream did you eat last? Where’d you get it from? It was chocolate. I had a scoop at the aforementioned birthday party. Do you like flowers? What is your favorite kind to receive? I love flowers. I don't have a favorite to receive, really. Have you ever unblocked someone that you blocked before? Yes. Has anyone slapped you across the face before? If so, why? No. Do you prefer to have more or less in common with your significant other? I like to be pretty similar. Would you take a shot of heroin for a million dollars? No. I don't fuck with that, even for that much money. Why don’t you talk to your ex anymore? He wants nothing to do with me. Do you think it is okay to drive while high? Obviously not...? Do you find Halloween or Valentine’s Day more exciting? Halloween. Has anyone you know ever had serious surgery before? Yeah; my mom immediately comes to mind in both instances she had cancer. When she had kidney cancer, the tumor was larger than the kidney itself, and she lost the entire organ. When she had ovarian cancer, she had to have a complete hysterectomy because the cancer was EVERYWHERE along her reproductive system to an almost fatal degree. My mom's pretty metal. If you had the last person you kissed’s Facebook password, would you go snooping through their stuff? Why or why not? No, because that's a violation of privacy? You don't do that shit. Have you ever fainted? If so, when was the last time? If not, have you ever came close to? Yes. The only time that I remember was maaaany years ago, like, maybe '14. I've nearly fainted plenty of times since then for various reasons, but mostly just from low blood pressure. Ever take a keyboarding class? Do you type using the skills you learned in that class or how you used to before you took the class? Yes; I believe one course was mandatory in middle school. I type the proper way, yeah. Ever cut your hair (the entire thing – not just the bangs or a little part) yourself? Noooo. Would you ever open your own business? If so, what kind of business could you imagine yourself having? Well, I'd like to be a freelance photographer, but to be real, I'm starting to loosen up on that dream. It's been too long, I just don't see it happening anymore. Baby steps are one thing, but I've barely managed any of those in forever. Ever meet and talk to someone from an online dating site? No. Would you date someone you weren’t physically attracted to? Why or why not? Yes; I've done it before. I just care way more about emotional chemistry. Besides, historically, me liking someone for their heart has made each person a lot more attractive to me as a whole. Last person to hang up on you? I dunno. What’s your favorite scary movie? The Blair Witch Project. The second one is great, too, plus The Crazies. Which urban legend is your favourite? Oh man, you can't ask me this. I LOVE cryptids and conspiracies 'n shit. Are any of your fears completely irrational? Yes, like whale sharks. A whale shark ain't gonna hurt u boo but I see that mouth and am like no thnx Where is the light switch in your room? Funnily enough, I don't have a light switch; there isn't a ceiling light in this room. I instead have two table lamps that I can turn on on either side of my bed. Would you make a good lawyer? Hell no, I cry when I argue lmao. It's funny tho because I remember in TWO instances, in-depth surveys recommending jobs for you brought up me being a lawyer, and each time I was just like,,,,, no???????? Why did your family decide to live where you’re living now? It was more necessity than anything. Our old house had a LOT of issues to it, and with Mom's cancer diagnosis, she needed the cleanest environment possible, and that was NOT our old place. The house we live in now is owned by a family friend, and when the previous owner died, the timing just... kinda worked out to where that family friend I mentioned helped us pay our way into here. We really don't like this place because of the location, but it had to work. What was the best pet you've ever had? All things considered, I have to hand it to my boy Teddy. That dog was someone special. Very, very special. If you were allowed one murder without punishment, would you do it? Nah. Name one song you can play on an instrument, any instrument! I can probably still slam out "Hot Cross Buns" on a recorder. \m/ Have you ever ridden on a motorcycle? Noooo, I'm scared to. On the opposite sex, do you prefer muscles, average size, or scrawny bodies? It depends on the person, ig. I can be attracted to any of those. Just not EXTREME muscle. Not my thing at all.

season three episode three
Let me start off by congratulating the producers – not you Ish – on this great episode. I finally feel like we’re back to THE SHOW. Not a weird Bachelor spin-off with minimal drama and blatantly horrible editing (see: Juliette’s grad party scene, where Chloe’s nails change color DURING THE PARTY.) Nope, we’re done with that and back to the good stuff, so on that note, let’s cut to the feeling.
Tumblr media
Come ON MTV it’s like you weren’t even trying. And yes, I created this, and no, I don’t have a life.
I know I’m going to like an episode when it starts off with the angelic sounds of my lord and savior, Ariana Grande. As break up with ur girlfriend, i’m bored plays, we zoom into Cara’s house. Personally, I’m hoping to see Victoria. Alas – it’s just Cara…and Garrett. God, Garrett STOP. Your ex-girlfriend has already outlined exactly how Cara is using you – since she did the exact same thing - and you’re still asking Cara on dates? This is so cringe. Where’s Victoria?!
Even though Garrett can’t score a date, Brandon can! Maybe instead of asking Cara to go look at babies, you should ask her to rollerblade, G Baby. As Amanda and Brandon glide around the Key, we learn that Brandon is celebrating his 24th birthday on Friday! And it’s “24, Like, Karat Gold Slash, Like, Pirate, Sort Of” themed, of course! He debates whether or not to invite Juliette while giving us viewers amazing helmet safety tips. Meanwhile, after Cara has removed G Baby from her property, she makes her way to Chloe’s to checkuppé on her. This is where we learn that Chloe has officially called the cops and filed a police report. I have a lot of opinions, but more on this later.
Tumblr media
Okay, something I haven’t touched on because I wish it wasn’t happening I haven’t had time is that Kelsey and Jared have sparked a little romance. If you don’t remember, while Kelsey was dating her random LA boyfriend, Jared was the 86th person she cheated on him with. I see this going well! I mean, it always works out when you leave someone you cheated on for the person you cheated with. Right? Plus, there’s Twisted Tea and mudding involved, so Kelsey can rest assured she’ll be going on sophisticated and expensive dates instead of the shitty and poor dates that Garrett used to take her on.
Tumblr media
FINALLY, the C + V scene I need and deserve. Donning a black one-piece that contrasts perfectly with her frozen fruity pink drink, Victoria is effortlessly exuding two polar opposite, chaotic energies. I’m getting “sassy”, but I’m also getting “I’ll fuck you up if you insult my 90’s Quiksilver skater shoes.” AKA, I’m getting Avril during the Girlfriend era. And I love it. As she floats next to Cara in the pool and shockingly proclaims that she’s not into guys, (what?!) I’m on my knees praying to God himself that she become a main cast member vis-à-vis a relationship with Cara. It’s Victoria’s show, and we’re all just living in it, baby. After Cara’s bizarre comment about how her parents punish her by locking her in their wine cellar (weird flex, but okay) Victoria giggles about how dumb Garrett is and we move on.
Tumblr media
We leave C and V for a Madisson and Kelsey reunion, but it’s not a happy one. Madisson delivers the unfortunate news that Chloe may be pressing charges. Oh no! I would be really upset by this, but I can’t focus on the content of Madisson’s words because of how she’s delivering them. Madisson, we fully understand that you’ve been to an acting class in LA because you won’t shuttupé about it, so you can stop over-enunciating everything that comes out of your mouth. Thanks!
After Kelsey tells Juliette about her impending stint in Florida prison, she gets understandably upset. Luckily, Boring Robby is there to teach Juliette how to apologize. Don’t say he never did anything for her! I want to point out that Kelsey truly has been redeeming herself this season. She’s been pretty level headed and a very good friend. If only Boring Robby could do the same… Later in the day, Kelsey confronts Robby about another thing Madisson spilled during their meetup. Apparently, while Juliette was fighting everyone last week, Boring Robby had the audacity to applaud her! How gauche. Boring Robby vehemently denies these claims, saying, “Always take the high road, because the low road is way too crowded,” and, “Silence is the best way to react to a fool, and happiness is the best revenge.” First of all, stop lying about things that were FILMED on national television. You’re now Boring Robby: The Liar. Second of all, why are you the human embodiment of my ninth grade Pinterest quotes board?
Grab your pillows and sleeping bags because we are heading to a SLUMBER PARTY! But before anyone can start braiding each other’s hair, Chloe begins to stir the pot, yet again. She delights in bringing up Brandon and Amanda’s new relationship right in front of Madisson. But to distract from the awkwardness, Amanda changes the subject to her missing phone. After the fight, she lost her phone and no one has been able to find it. She starts to give us a play-by-play analysis of why and how she thinks Boring Robby: The Liar stole it. I’m sorry, am I watching Joe Goldberg on You, or am I watching Amanda on Siesta Key? 
Tumblr media
It’s the day of the BG’s bday, and I’m so excited to see everyone’s 24 Karat Gold Slash Like Pirate themed outfits! They don’t disappoint - G Baby and Victoria are even matching!! I’ve never screamed so loudly in my life. Garrett obviously refuses to drink, and we’re off to the party. But first, there’s one guest who needs to arrive.
Tumblr media
As Alex descends from his family’s PJ strapped with Louis luggage, a BEER, and fresh digs straight from the Siesta Key mall, I can feel the blood coming back into my body. I can feel individual atoms multiplying. I can feel my soul re-entering my empty, hollow frame. I feel exactly like Bella in the fourth Twilight novel, Breaking Dawn. After her half-human, half-vampire baby has eaten its way out of her uterine lining, Edward is forced to do the unthinkable: steal Bella’s mortal soul by turning her into a vampire so she has a shot to survive. (It’s the second time in the series that vampire Edward is forced to resist sucking all of Bella’s enticing blood to save her – that’s true love.) As she starts to respond to his venom, each and every one of her cells begins to freeze over and restore life to her body. Suddenly, she is awake. Her vision is sharp, her mind is clear, and she’s never looked better. And that’s EXACTLY how I felt as Alex exited his plane.
Tumblr media
I expect nothing less than for Alex to arrive at BG’s party with three underage Ukrainian mail-order brides. And he doesn’t disappoint. Unfortunately for the brides, he immediately begins discussing relationships with Cara. It’s fun to see Cara pride herself in not cheating on people for the past year. I kind of feel like that should be a given, but okay. As they’re undressing each other with their eyes talking, Garrett is having an interesting convo of his own. Classic Chloe starts stirring the pot AGAIN by telling Garrett that Cara is using him. Really Chloe? Cara is supposed to be your best friend. What’s more shocking is that VICTORIA starts to betray Cara as well. This causes an immediate fight between Carrett. They leave the party and start screaming at each other in the jungle. I’m so enraptured by the fight that I momentarily forget they’re at a themed party and fixate on Garrett’s outfit. Why am I watching Garrett Miller scream in a jungle dressed as a pirate? Oh, right. Anyways.
Tumblr media
Even though Cara and G Baby are scream fighting, the party continues to rage on. And everyone is makingoutté. Kelsey and Jared, Amanda and Brandon... something is in the air! It must be the pirate theme. #LetsGetScurvy. But one person isn’t feeling the love – Madisson. With Dad gone, she has no one to kish. Clearly bothered by watching her friend and ex-boyfriend eat each other’s faces, Madisson decides to give Brandon the sad news that Amanda is using him. Whether or not she is, Madisson has no right to give her opinion on the matter. And BG says exactly that. Good for him! Another person surprisingly not making out with someone is Alex. He’s too busy being an asshole to Kelsey and telling anyone who will listen that Boring Robby is bad news. Probably true, but literally no one can be worse than he is, except maybe Pauly Paul. In other news, WHERE IS PAUL.
Unfortunately, the next scene doesn’t involve Pauly or Victoria – just Chloe and Juliette. Juliette shows up after Chloe gets out of work to hopefully avoid jailtime hash things out. Now strap in because I’m about to explain exactly where I stand with the Chloe/Juliette drama, and if you aren’t completely focused, please take a 10mg Adderall, wait ten minutes, and check back in.
Okay, hopefully, you’ve taken amphetamines and can really dial in. Here goes: I realize that Chloe is a necessary evil - it’s an indisputable fact that there would be no show without her antics. No one is as shameless when it comes to talking shit and completely ruining their friendships for the sake of television. And for that, I deeply respect Chloe. (I realize that sounds sarcastic but I am dead serious. Thank you for taking one for the team, Chloe.) But I simply cannot stand when she gets what’s coming to her then plays the innocent victim. Obviously, violence is not cool, and Juliette should be embarrassed by her behavior. But Chloe knew exactly what the outcome of that conversation would be. She was banking on a wasted Juliette reacting horribly. With Chloe, you simply cannot win. Earlier in this episode, Chloe verbatim says to Madisson and Cara, “If the roles were reversed, I would have shown up at her house, apologizing.”
Tumblr media
Now cut to this scene, where Chloe verbatim says to Juliette (after Juliette shows up at her workplace) “I really don’t know why you’re here, so if you can please leave and leave me alone.”
Tumblr media
Juliette said it best herself – “Chloe is my best friend when I’m miserable. When I’m actually thriving…this type of stuff happens.” Let’s take a moment to analyze the similarities and differences of how Chloe and the rest of the cast handled Chloe’s altercation with Amanda during season one, in which Amanda broke Chloe’s nose and sent her to surgery. After sending Chloe to the hospital, Amanda justifies her actions by saying that Chloe started it first. So everyone is okay with Amanda decking Chloe. The fact is, Chloe started it first here, too. Chloe swatted at Juliette’s hand first. So why did everyone grab coffee with Amanda, but ostracize Juliette? Amanda even had a sit-down conversation with Chloe after her surgery expecting Chloe to apologize. The inconsistencies and hypocrisy present…I CANNOT.
Tumblr media
Chloe acts like everyone’s best friend to stay relevant and betrays them the second it benefits her. While I do agree that Juliette is only apologizing because she’s scared Chloe will press charges, I think people who talk shit, unfortunately, get hit, on occasion. Until next week!

Why I Cancelled my own Birthday Party
I feel like a real, royal asshole. 
Yesterday at work I got excited! Wow, it’s already my party! I have Friday off, and my advising meeting for school that morning. I think I’ll grab myself coffee that morning, even, as a treat for starting school again! Tonight I should shop for clothes for my meeting, and for the show I’m going to in Denver on Saturday. That will be fun! ...But getting to the Loveland Target will be scary since I hate the roads there and I’ve never even driven them. And I should make sure the clothes I get are also work appropriate since I need new work clothes and can’t spend money on myself after this. Maybe I won’t drive to Target, I’ll go to Foothills. It’s less crowded and there are like 3 or 4 stores I could shop in. It didn’t take long for those thoughts to spiral downward. I don’t know what to wear. I shouldn’t spend money. I don’t even care about looking good actually. Screw shopping altogether. And why care about the stuff I have upcoming? My life won’t change. I always do this. Start to think my shit’s getting together, thinking I’m a “bad bitch” and then quitting/sabotaging/cancelling it all because my life won’t change. I will always be like “this”.
So I went straight home after work. I was in my room, trying to take a nap to maybe help my mood since I’ve been sleep-deprived for weeks now. I didn’t think I’d be able to fall asleep between my medication-induced-insomnia as of late and my social anxiety as of... always?! My thoughts began to make no sense and my mind started to wonder why I was thinking about these fictional scenarios, and I felt gratitude because that’s how I know I’m about to fall asleep when I’m having trouble getting there. Then I hear a shaking in the distance. Not a train this time, my husband’s new surround sound in his office/gaming room. Not mad at him. Just kind of knew something would stop me from sleeping. I’ve just accepted it lately, because I increased the only antidepressant that works for me. My two choices lately are insomnia and complacency or the can’t-get-myself-to-work type depression. Yay. 
At this point I made the mistake of looking at my phone. I already didn’t feel like I had enough time for anything, and people were asking when I’d be places and if I could meet earlier. Some people cancelling. All things I would appreciate on any other day except for this dreadful day - the day of my own Birthday Party. Today the notifications set off my anxiety.
I haven’t been paying attention for long but I know I go into any Birthday Party believing that nobody will show up. Or one person will, and then I will have to apologize that I’m not cool and that my party isn’t fun. I’m not sure if I had a traumatic birthday ever as a kid. We usually had pool parties (because April is actually warm in San Diego) that always had a bunch of kids there, my parents grilled hot dogs, and we got to eat potato chips and drink grape soda which was a rarity in my house. At the end of the day when we were all sleepy from swimming for far too long, we got to eat cake and I got to open cool shit like Barbies and Lisa Frank stationary. 
But being a kid is easy. You don’t give a SHIT. Nothing stopped my large belly, boobs that would never really develop, and giant thighs from getting into an awkward bathing suit and having a goddamn blast doing backflips off the diving board and pretending to be a mermaid at the bottom of the pool, and even doing that weird nose-plugging thing I do with my face (by bringing my lips up to my nose). Kids drank the soda, ate the chips, and jumped in and out of the pool, going absolutely crazy! Back then I don’t think I cared about making a connection on my birthday. I had fun with everyone and I didn’t put a lot of pressure on myself to impress, entertain, or make sure everyone enjoyed themselves. 
As I get older, I do feel that way. I feel sad when my security blanket people can’t or don’t come. I feel sad when my husband doesn’t enjoy the activity I planned. I feel sad because I can’t hold a conversation and I spend most of my time depressed. I’m convinced that none of the people who CHOOSE to be there like me, that it’s all just a social obligation, because I go to their bday events. I feel incapable of entertaining anyone, even myself. 
I thought about wearing a costume to my skating party, putting on extravagant makeup and maybe even a wig. That excited me for a while, but then I started to think about it - I really only like myself when I’m in costume. Last year I thought the same thing as I was putting on my costume for my usual skating party - “People probably think it’s weird that I look way better like this”. “This” being covered in makeup, fake lashes, tight clothes, wigs with cooler and bigger hair than I could ever have. Is it for fun? Is it for attention? Is it to feel attractive, just for a few hours? Aaand suddenly, I don’t want to dress up, and I don’t even want to try. And I feel bad for myself. I see myself sulking at my bday, with my unruly, outgrown pixie and my tired face, plopping along and trying to make small talk. Me, at my party, just feeling like I do everyday. Homely. Out of place. Nothing useful to say. Unimportant. Unable to connect. Incapable of building comfortable and lasting friendships. And incapable of accepting that some, if not all, of the friends that do come, are coming because they actually like me for some reason. Frumpy ol’ me. And then I just get to feeling guilty and unappreciative.
I’d be skating too fast for most of my friends (the ones who aren’t sitting down or having issues with the shitty rental skates) and feeling awkward when having to speak. Maybe I always choose the skating rink for my birthday because I can go fast and have an excuse to fuck off from all social obligation. People can entertain themselves. 
Then I think back to Josh’s birthday last Summer. It was the first get-together we had at our new house. I sobbed the night before. Thinking that nobody liked us, nobody would like our house, nobody would come, nobody would have a good time. Just a crippling, deep anxiety and despair placed itself on my chest until I cried it all out. I talked to my therapist about this and now I remember her saying “and this may happen again, but you’ll expect it.” Josh's party turned out great. I felt so much warmth from our friends and that our house was enough, everything would all be okay.
So when I found myself with these thoughts all over again, I let myself just have a good, hard cry. I know that things often turn out better than how I anticipate them. It’s most likely I would’ve ended up having a good time, feeling loved and appreciated, and feeling great from skating. But I’m turning 30 this year, and I’m wondering if I need to reevaluate why I throw parties that make me cry beforehand, why I feel so grey these days and try to use my birthday as a time to shine, why I don’t just spend the day alone, living a day exactly how I would with no input from other people. Maybe that’s just part of growing up, or maybe the depression is just more real right now than usual.
I spent my night in the tub, eating hot Cheetos, and maybe that was the birthday plan I desired all along.

I LOVE U AND UR WRITING!!! BLESS U!!! can u do a hc with Richie trying to make something for eddies bday and it rlly sucks but Eddie loves it anyway??
THIS IS SO NICE AND PURE WOW MY HEART IS FULLLLL
-alright so eddie’s turning 16 and that’s a big deal to the losers’. on each and every one of their 16th birthdays they’ve done something special with each other and eddie is the baby of the group so now it’s finally his turn
-and eddie’s been saying for months that he doesn’t want a big dramatic ordeal, he just wants to spend time with his friends
-but richie will have none of that so he started planning months in advance. and richie’s not the greatest at expressing his feelings, it took 5ever for him to even *hint* to eddie that he might possibly sort of have a potential somewhat crush on him
-but if there’s one thing he is good at (besides crying and being a pain in the ass) it’s sentiment. he’s kept a souvenir from every single outing they’ve been on together since before they were even dating. he’s kept them hidden away in a box under his bed and never showed anyone
-richie wants this elaborate extravaganza for eddie’s party. like with a bouncy castle or a party bus or something 
-he has all the losers’ come together and pitch their most wild ideas for a party and richie tries to swing all of them
-in the end, richie can only afford the bouncy castle and he’s super pissed off
-and eddie’s day wasn’t going so smoothly because his mother kept him locked inside for most of the day, he had to sit through happy birthday phone calls from nearly every one of his relatives. and then he had to sit and write out a thank you note after every gift he opened. he then had to sit and eat a big birthday dinner with his mom and he wasn’t allowed to leave the table til after dessert
-he was so pissed that his mom ruined the day he was supposed to spend with his friends that he showed up to richie’s in tears
-and richie freaks out because the streamers are drooping and the bouncy castle is deflating and there were no Happy Birthday decorations at the dollar store so there were three It’s A Boy balloons floating around the room. and stan got stung by a bee which made him drop the cake so bill took stan to the ER and bev and mike went to get a backup cake and ben caught the flu last night so he’s bedridden and everything is horrible
-so richie explains everything and apologizes profusely for throwing such a shitty party and nearly breaks down into frustrated tears but eddie swears up and down that it’s okay
-“it’s the thought that counts, rich. honest, i told you i didn’t need a big thing. we’ll have a good time when everyone gets back.”
-but richie’s inconsolable 
-“and i spent so much on the stupid bouncy castle that i didn’t have enough money to get you a real gift. you can burn it if you think it’s stupid” and richie hands him this leatherbound book 
-eddie opens it and his jaw hits the floor
-every page is a memento from their relationship
-polaroids mike took of them kissing at the quarry 
-ticket stubs from the time they went to see Weekend at Bernie's 
-the receipt from the night they blew off the school dance and went to mcdonald’s instead
-a little pencil from the time they went mini golfing
-doodles richie had done while eddie wasn’t looking 
-little poems that didn’t exactly rhyme about eddie’s eyes 
-the notes they’d passed in algebra
-pages upon pages of diary entries richie had written about how infatuated he was with this boy 
-that’s definitely the moment eddie realized just how in love he was with richie. he tears up so much that he can barely see and turns to richie with the biggest smile 
-“i love you so fucking much" 
-and richie’s heart is full because he truly thought eddie might call the gift lame and then never look at it again
-they sit in each other’s company as eddie flips through the book again and wait for the others to arrive
damn okay i’m hurt

Can I be honest with you? My friend asked to switch shifts with me for work, for which I said yes. She wanted to go out for her “boyfriend” (they’re just talking) for like a small get together type of thing she told me. To switch I was a bit upset, considering the guy she’s talking to is the guy I’ve been into for about a year. We’re all friends. But my other friend posted a video on sc, and the three of them and her sister are eating a bday dinner. And I can’t help but feel left out.
I’ve known him a lot longer, and I consider him a good friend. There all good friend to me, but I feel shitty. And the thing is the friend knows I was into him. I told her after the fact that she told me that they were talking, but I didn’t know that they were going that way towards each other. So I told her how I felt and she kind of brushed it off and was kind of like well so what, but didn’t actually say it. Just the next week she talks about him like nothing I said meant anything.And I’ve been incredibly depressed for years, and loneliness has been one of the reasons why, but not the only reason. But I just can’t help but feel extremely lonely. Seeing them all together and I’m working her night shift, and he’s all happy with them. I thought he was having a party. I thought I was 100% over him, but it’s kind of hard when she talks about him all the time. Anyways sorry for loading this on you, I just needed a long ass rant.———Aww my love I’m sorry. I wish I knew how to help. You need to distance yourself from them. It’s only going to hurt you more being around them and seeing this stuff happen :(
