#why does everything and everyone gotta make shit hard for us

Trans healthcare in this country is a fucking joke.
You know. I had a meeting with a doctor to start GHAT back in October 18th.
It’s been about a month since then and I still haven’t started because
1.) my insurance company didn’t approve the first prescription
2.) After they didn’t approve of it, my doctor had to change it to the one that my insurance company did cover. (She did that no problem.)
3.) Once she did that, my insurance company gave the okay, and you’d think that would be enough but, no wait! There’s more.
Turns out the pharmacy has to preorder the medication, and when they tried to, it was on back order until January :D
And when I called to ask what the fuck was going on (because, mind you, their phone lines are shit and you can’t understand a god damn thing people are saying on the phone) they told me that the medication WASNT APPROVED. EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT WAS AND IT WAS ON BACK ORDER?
I’m so confused.
The woman on the phone who left me the message said I had the option of going to a difference pharmacy to see if they have my medication in stock, and while I don’t fault her for the suggestion, the reason why I use them as my pharmacy is because I am agoraphobic.
If it were as simple as leaving my town to find a better pharmacy, i would do it in a heartbeat. But alas, that’s not how my brain works.
I just want to get my hormones man. God damn. Fuck people who made testosterone a schedule III drug. And fuck people who made it difficult for Medicaid users to get medication in the first place.
This country really hates the low-income disabled queer community and it fucking shows.

repost. fem alligned & mdni blogs dni.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yandere creep blade who's known in class as that weird quiet creepy kid that always looks like he’s about to fight anyone at the moment making everyone not wanna be near him at all. It wasn’t his fault he has a resting bitch face, it's everyone who just assumes he does something bad. Though it all changes when he meets a cute little partner in a project.
Yandere creep blade who’d be enchanted at the nice and cute boy who comes up to him asking his name, with his cute little voice asking if his name is blade. He couldn’t help but blush a little as he nodded his head. His eyes wandering all over his small small body, he was practically towering him. He’s just like a cute little hamster in his eyes.
Just the way you pucker your lips, blink your pretty lashes. God, you're so adorable. He can feel himself getting hard just from this, seeing you shyly smile at him as you try to start the conversation about the project. Oh you sweet little thing you are.
Yandere creep blade who listens to everything you have to say about the project, how you think what you two will do. His ears are attentive to your voice although his eyes wander everywhere but on your own eyes, too afraid to meet in contact with them for some reasons. Was it shyness? Was it nervousness? he doesn’t know but god does he love your flawless neck. He wonders if you let him fill it with his marks.
Yandere creepy blade who’d get addicted to you after the project, you were just so cute? so nice? just such an adorable little thing. He has to keep an eye on you. His eyes are always staring at you in class. Observing every little thing you do. The way you bite on that pen as you look at your test with furrowed brows. He wishes he was the pen. God is his cute boy just so adorable?
He’s just so adorable as he greets him whenever he sees him, his hands waving his way as he smiles politely. God he wishes he could talk to you but why is it so hard? his tongue stopping him from saying any words to you only giving you his familiar cold stoic look nodding his head at you whenever he senses your wave. Shit why is he like this? oh well you seem to tolerate this behaviour of his and god he loves you for it. Don’t worry once he gets the courage he’ll talk to you again, showing all his devotion to you.
Yandere creep blade who’d die just to get a swift of your scent. His pants got tight as he got a wift of the new shampoo you used on your hair. It was lemon with a dash of vanilla? fuck thats just so like you and it made his boy even more adorable. After that he gotta stop by the washroom after all he has to deal with his little problem down in his pants. He can't help it, it's only natural to have desires. Even if that desire was to pin his sweet boy down as he thrust his cock inside him as he cried in pleasure. So? it's only natural.
Him trying to contain his groans of pleasure in stalls not wanting anyone to hear him jerking off as he fantasises about you once again. Fuck just Imagining it sounds so hot he wonders if you let his cock sink in deep inside you? Going back to the class as if nothing happened. His eyes back again observing every detail you have.
But it wasn’t enough. Looking and observing wasn’t enough, so when the pen you always seem to bite onto rolled down the floor. He couldn’t help but take that chance to take it, it wasn’t stealing if you lost it. It was simply just borrowing things that's all. As he picked up the bitten pen he looked at it with practical hearts in his eyes. He was practically drooling as he looked at it as if it was the most precious thing. I mean it is, it came from you, sweet beloved little y/n, his y/n. Pocketing it he can’t wait to collect more things from you.
Yandere creep blade who continues to borrow you lost stuff, remember the lip balm you always use? you somehow lost it don’t worry though bladie got it! but he doesn’t wanna give it back to you. He still remembers the many times he fantasised he was this lip balm, how he wanna kiss your kissable lips. This lip balm was so lucky to freely do that but now he has it! technically you two kissed if he also used it too right? just how romantic and cute is that!
It went from small items to much more bigger, the half eaten apple you threw away because you didn’t like the taste. It has your cute canine bite marks on it, look how adorable that is, he wonders if you’d give him some marks too. He got bolder and stalked you to your house, slowly trailing behind you making sure he’s quiet and making sure you wont notice him. God is his beloved home such a cute one? getting in secretly without you knowing. He was just visiting you thats all don’t worry! As he looks around the house, walking in your shower seeing the shampoo brand and soap brand you use. He wishes he could take them but you need them! I guess he’d suffice on buying the same brand so that he can imagine your scent filling his room.
Quickly coming back to his house as he opens the shrine he has made for you. All the things he has borrowed from you. He couldn’t help but giggle as he looked at his collections, isn’t this just perfect? his sweet beloved! He can't wait until the day he finally starts talking to him without feeling so nervous. As for now he’ll protect him from harm as he admires you from afar. His sweet boy~ created to be all his <3

Playing minecraft headcanons with the uppermoons (+Muzan & Enmu)
this will be a modern!AU (they’re still demons tho)
(this is also my first post lmao)
Tumblr media
Muzan
okay it takes a HELL ton of convincing to have Muzan himself play with you.
he views any sort of game as ‘dumb’ or ‘childish’
you try to remind him that it’s not in the slightest but it doesn’t do anything much (bro is stubborn)
he’s the demon king? why should he associate himself with the idiotic games mortals play?
eventually he goes give in (bc he loves you in his own weird demonic way..)
strictly on survival mode. doesn’t care what you do but he sees creative mode as a ‘easy way out’ and he wants to be a hard ass (no surprises here)
kills any mob in sight and any mob that comes near you (claims he does it because he’s the demon king and wants to overpower everything and everyone but in reality he just wants to look out for you)
loses his SHIT when he gets dies in the game (triggers his fear of death lol)
you made a joke about him being like the mobs in minecraft because they burn in the sunlight (like him)
he doesn’t play with you after that but he secretly enjoyed spending time with you! (shh, you’ll never hear it from him)
Tumblr media
Kokushibo
doesn’t take too much convincing (thank god)
he lowkey enjoys trying out new things with you! you’ve always done everything for him so the least he can do is return the favor.
probably doesn’t really understand it at first so you gotta explain the game to him
gets frustrated easily in the game but it’s more of a silent rage. you take notice of it because his body language changes so it’s not exactly difficult to spot.
like muzan he’ll kill anything that goes near you. (he’s protective even in the game)
most likely will envy your game abilities. (it’s okay you’ll teach him!)
you find it cute that he’s so serious about it sometimes
The both of y’all share jobs in the game and end up creating a lovely little house!
spoiler alert he burns it down after he finds out you can burn things in the game. he did it for no reason whatsoever.
you don’t really mind all that much though. you’re just grateful you got to play with him!
Tumblr media
Douma
douma loves and i mean LOVES playing with you!!
this man is bored. (like all the time) so doing something like this will definitely keep him occupied! but he may grow bored quickly because that’s just how he is.
he still adores playing with you though and wants to do it again!
he’ll praise you for how great you are at the game. literally head over heals for you<33
the type of mf to pick up a flower (specifically a rose) and drop it at your feet in the game.
pouts like a toddler when you don’t notice it:((
“Y/N?! didn’t you see the flower i dropped right in front of you!”
he’s clingy even in the game and will follow you around EVERYWHERE.
he is jealous of your building skills and begs you to build him a house💀
Douma’s fav biome is probably the ice plains spikes biome. anything that has to do with snow or ice!
he too also gets frustrated in the game sometimes and SUCKS at hiding it. he doesn’t have outbursts though (surprisingly)
most likely will rizz you up even in the fucking game😭
then after like a few hours of playing he gets bored and either wants to eat (women) or cuddle with you. (maybe both)
Tumblr media
Akaza
Akaza is the most interesting to play with out of them all (because he’s just so goofy when playing)
the only thing that’s annoying is that he’ll chase danger quite literally for fun. he will fight anything. I MEAN ANYTHING.
i pity the mobs who (tried) to attack you..
game rage? it’s in his veins. (it’s semi-amusing to witness him get pissed off)
make sure he doesn’t punch a hole in your TV or your computer (whatever you play on) that shits expensive.
like during his battles bro uses only his fists to kill everything. weapons? nah. pro is anti-weapons. uses his fists for quite literally everything and will throw a fit when he dies.
he’ll praise you whenever you kill anything though! (he’s a sweetheart like that)
he’s like a guard dog even in the silly game. (over protective is an understatement)
he attempts to build you a house (it isn’t too horrible, surprisingly)
one time when the two of you were mining deep within the caves for diamonds Akaza found some and broke/mined it with his fist. (you got so pissed)
he apologized and found you some new ones though! thankfully, he didn’t use his fists to break the block this time.
overall, Akaza really does enjoy playing with you! he grows fond of it and now playing minecraft with him is one of y’all’s favorite things to do together<33
Tumblr media
Hantengu Clones
(i’m writing the four of them all together because i’m lazy)
want to know what’s more than chaotic? playing some challenging game with 4 very emotional demons.
At first Sekido immediately rejects the idea of playing the game with you and his three other brothers (the hantengu clones are brothers in this AU)
After a shit ton of persistent begging from you and Karaku and Urogi he only submits in the end and plays (mostly because of you)
Karaku and Urogi literally are beefing the entire time (Sekido’s rage is at it’s boiling point because of those two jackasses)
Aizetsu cries like a baby whenever he accidentally kills anything (except for the mobs)
whenever he sees a mob his scaredy-cat ass sprints away in the opposite direction.
Urogi and Karaku bully him RELENTLESSLY for this. (Aizetsu is a victim)
Urogi is the type to secretly go into creative mode grab a shit tone of diamonds or netherite and is like; “Heyy, lookie what i found!!”
no one falls for his bullishit.
they all protect you in the game and show off in front of you. (it’s embarrassing)
Karaku is surprisingly good at the game but like Akaza he’ll chase danger for fun.
Aizetsu only feels safe around you so he’ll follow you around and cling to you in the game so his two brothers stop harassing him.
Sekido only plays for a few minutes before getting aggravated and just abandoning the game as a whole.
(he is the type to punch everyone playing the game. even you sometimes but Karaku and Urogi mostly fall victim to his attacks)
Sekido surprisingly leaves Aizetsu alone.
the five of you try to create a world where it’s just peaceful (Keep on dreaming, kid. that ain’t happening)
everything goes downhill, half of the world is ENTIRELY demolished and all of you died over 1000 times.
playing with all of them is too chaotic. you can’t really take it seriously. You only can when you’re playing with one of the clones one on one.
y’all didn’t play again after that madness. 😭
Tumblr media
Gyutaro
now Gyutaro here is the only chill one to play with. (finally a normal one)
like Kokushibo, it doesn’t take that much convincing! in fact, he agrees to it almost immediately.
at first he is confused and doesn’t understand how to play minecraft but he is a quick learner and figures it out on his own.
Gyutaro doesn’t have a preference for survival or creative mode. He just does whatever you want.
Whenever y’all play in a survival world you two share tasks and duties and actually create a pretty decent looking world!
he still has your back though. Will kill any mobs that interfere with his little home he created with you.
he enjoys building houses and is surprisingly really amazing at it! he finds comfort in building.
however, whenever you, Daki and Gyutaro all play together it’s mostly him and Daki arguing and being all competitive. It’s mostly Daki’s fault because she’s the cause for half of the mayhem that happens in the world.
sometimes Gyutaro plays even without you. (he grew fond of the game quickly and likes the game)
the both of you play together everyday and go onto the same world every time because y’all created a beautiful old-fashioned city on there. (he cherishes it immensely and is insanely proud of the masterpiece of a world the two of you made as a team)
Tumblr media
Daki
Daki is infuriatingly annoying but also entertaining to play with at the same time.
she is a giant rage quitter like Sekido and Akaza.
throws tantrums frequently over the smallest things that go wrong in the game.
she will be jealous of any item you get that’s better than hers.
this lil shit steals everything you earn that’s better than what she has. (you notice every time)
you confront her about it and she has the audacity to lie. (like girl yk damn well)
you end up taking your stuff back and she will BATTLE you for it. (you win these matches every time. that alone only adds to her angered state😭)
she will deliberately quit whenever something doesn’t go her way but later come back and declares she wants to try again.
it’s like a endless loop because this happens every. single. time.
(she’s such a brat istg)
will always steal your diamonds and put them in her chest and say she found them first.
while you’re asleep she will secretly go into the world and take all your shit and you’ll wake up back at square one.
(lowkey you want to stop playing with her)
y’all barely even work as a team but when y’all it’s always ha fight (mostly her fault btw)
once she notices your frustrations. She’ll level it down for you so no need to worry! (this earns your respect)
but whenever y’all are in creative mode shes so much more fun and enjoyable to play with!
you two usually build big ass mansions together and with y’all’s godly building skills you two make an incredible looking house and live in it together!
Tumblr media
Enmu
Enmu absolutely looooves doing everything with you! he says yes immediately when you ask him to play with you.
after all he’s your personal simp. this fucker will gladly do whatever you say w/o any hesitation.
Enmu has actually heard of the game ‘minecraft’ before but never actually played it and barely knew what it was really about.
oh boy, but when he does he becomes OBSESSED.
I kinda feel like he dislikes survival mode and prefers to be in creative mode! but if you like survival mode he won’t mind trying it out with you.
he likes killing the animals for fun.. will randomly slaughter anything even if it has a family (bro is a sadist after all)
you tell him it’s not necessary to be doing that but he doesn’t care nor listen.
his love language is building you trains in the game. (you love them very much)
Enmu is usually very calm when he’s not on a mission so playing this game only soothes him further and he doesn’t act overly crazy and zesty like he usually does around Muzan
Builds trains every time y’all play and is somehow INSANELY skilled when building them (??)
Similar to douma, he’s the type to rizz you up in the game.
Sulks when you don’t notice him when he attempts to.
He constantly nags you to play with him some more and gets a lil upset when you become tired.
“Oh, Y/N!, how can you be tired? we’re having soooo much fun!!”
forces you to stay up just so he can introduce you his own train world he made for himself. (he named all the trains)
you’re out cold after playing with him every time. High key finds it adorable when you pass out after hours of playing with him. He’s so amused how humans can grow tired so easily.

Top Shelf pt. 6
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 7
Summary: being the kid of a well-known book store owner was easy, so was running into famous people. But being book smart doesn’t make everyone people smart.
A/N: this was an idea someone sent, I added some stuff as well. I can already see you guys flocking in when I post this chapter, especially after not posting for a bit.
Warning: language? My writing
Jenna Ortega x Fem!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You’re pathetic,” Lyle says as he begins aggressively erasing the work you had tried so hard on. “Can’t do maths, can’t cook, can’t flirt, what can you do?” He says as you lean back and drag your hands down your face.
He had been like this the entire weekend after your outing with Jenna and Emma; mentioning how you were bad at everything and never forgetting to mention how you can’t flirt.
Though he had been texting Emma all weekend, the two had come short of any ideas of what to do to make you two put two and two together and finally ask the other out.
And the two of you weren’t exactly helpful.
“Do you have to berate me on something no one’s is good at?” You ask, watching your cat jump on the table and begin playing with the small eraser scraps.
“You don’t have to be good at it to know how to do it.” He says picking up a book from the large pile of stacked books.
“I haven’t done it in years, why do I have to it now?” You ask as he slams the book down. “Because you need to do it or you’ll live a lonely life in the darkness of your room forever.” He states angrily as he flips through the pages aggressively.
“Are you sure you’re still talking about business school?” Dru asks looking up from the computer before looking back down.
“Yes,” Lyle says as he pushes the open book toward you. “What else would we be talking about?” He yanks his head toward you and his tightly tied back hair comes loose from the hair tie.
He lets out an aggravated huff before pulling his hair back and walking away to find a mirror, mumbling this and that under his breath as he does so.
“He’s being over dramatic.” You say as Mj takes her seat in front of you, loud dinging noises coming from the game boy she had found somewhere stashed away in the storage closet.
“It’s Lyle, of course he’s being over dramatic.” She mumbles, eyes never leaving the small screen in front of her.
How she had found the small game you didn’t know, you used to dig through the storage compartment all day before working at the bookstore but never once did you see any of the older electronic’s, even when the store had stopped selling them.
Then again it was a big area, you wouldn’t be surprised if they found one of the first TV’s in there.
“He’s never going to leave me alone about this.” You mumble, music loudly vibrating through your ear bud as you begin working again. “Again, it’s Lyle we’re talking about here.”
She was right, though he was one of your best friends he still had his tendencies to try to get too into that roll. Trying to help you with things but taking it too far most of the time.
Yes, you appreciated it but sometimes it could be a bit much.
“Yo,” the voice calls out from the second floor making you look up to see the plumber. “I’m done, I just gotta show you some shit that you need to replace or fix.” He says and you sigh.
“Can you check this for me?” You ask sliding your notebook toward the woman who huffs out but non the less takes the book to look over.
You smile lightly before rushing toward the stairs to catch up with the much older man.
“And she can’t even look her in the eye!” Lyle grumbles as he scratches Achilles stomach walking back toward his table of friends.
“Now where’d she go? Trying to avoid her work just like asking Jenna out?” He asks as he looks around and allows the cat to jump out of his arms and toward the cat tree in the front of the store.
“Chill,” Mj says as she checks off one problem and begins erasing another. “She went with the Jones to check the pipes.”
“Oh,” he mumbles before slumping himself into his seat next to yours. “Can you believe her though?” He asks and she can’t help herself as she rolls her eyes.
Yes, she knew you were bad at anything to do in the romantic section of things but he didn’t have to tell her non stop after your little double date.
“Yes, I can.” She says as she slides the book back into its spot. He scrunches his nose in disgust as the girl stands to put the game boy back where she found it.
“What do you mean?” He asks following after her quickly.
“Not everyone is like you and wants to rush into relationships Lyle.” She groans out noticing the boy following her. “You can’t expect Y/N to rush a fucking celebrity into a relationship either.”
“But their both annoyingly oblivious.” He states as she climbs the ladder in the storage room. “Maybe, but let them do it their own way with just a little of your help, look,” she starts before jumping down the ladder to look up toward the man.
“Y/N is a quiet kid you should know this by now, we are the ones who decided to bust into her life after all. She keeps most herself and things to herself, never takes off her ear buds and doesn’t bother anyone.” She states as they leave the room.
“You can’t expect her to change what she knows over night because of one person, even if she is clearly in love with them. And Jenna,” she quickly turns to look at the man.
“She probably speculates every little suspicious thing, she is famous after all. She could think Y/N is just in it for the fame or whatever.” Lyle presses his lips together at the thought of you and your very private family wanting to be seen by the world, it only makes him snort at the mere idea.
“But she’s not.” He replies and she taps his chest. “So let her figure that out, let them figure it out. You don’t have to berate her twenty four seven.”
“That’s exactly what you do all the time.” Dru adds as he clicks the computer mouse quickly. “No, I do it to make you all better as people, he’s doing it to just humiliate Y/N.” The woman calls out. “There’s a differe-“
Before she could finish the sentence the man in front of her sprints away and toward the front of the store.
He quickly twists the lock and yanks the door open before forcing himself out. The person he had seen turns to look at him making the second much larger person do the same.
“Jenna!” He calls out, walking out of the door and toward her. “Leaving so soon?” His smiling wide and beaming when he steps up to her.
A small smile forms on her own face as the man nears, his lanky form now towering over her own. “Hey Lyle,” she says as the man steps between the two and shoots a quick glare toward the much larger man.
“And kind of, the stores closed.” She gestures toward the small closed sign on the door and shrugs.
“Nonsense.” he says and pulls the girl toward the door. “It’s just us so you can come in.” He quickly ushers her through and pushes the body guard inside before slamming the door back shut and locking it.
A pressure forms at the bottom Jenna’s leg causing her to look down and see a fluffy cat rubbing up angst her leg before looking up at her.
She lets out a quiet gasp as she reaches down and picks up the orange ball of fluff as it begins to purr. “Oh my god.” she gasp as he begins rubbing its head on the top.
Lyle can’t help the smirk that forms, the usually jumpy cat immediately fawning over Jenna, just like it’s owner. How hysterical.
“That’s Achilles.” He says as he begins walking toward the counter Jenna following closely behind as the cat settles into her arms. “He’s Y/N’s.”
“He’s a street rat who belongs on the street.” Mj says walking out of the storage room once again holding a different gaming device even Lyle couldn’t decipher.
“And that’s Mj,” Lyle huffs out. “Also Y/N’s, she found her at a McDonalds.” He makes sure to mutter the last part but it only earns a glare from the woman.
“Mj? Like Mary Jane?” Jenna jokes as the cat begins rubbing up on her chin once again. The joke only earns a glare from the taller woman who presses her lips together.
The joke had been made so many times that it was getting old, even for Lyle who found it amusing every time.
“Y/N!” The woman yells too loudly for a library before quickly turning and storming off in the direction where you had left.
She looks up to Lyle who glance between her and the stairs where she stomped up. The man was both awkward and sociable, not like many she had met; most were either just awkward or very social. It was a strange thing.
“And that,” he says suddenly, gesturing to the man whose playing the computer with his face far to close to the screen. “Is Dru, you can just call him DD.”
“Do not call me that.” The man says as he eyes go over the screen as if being unfocused and trying to refocus.
“That’s your name, idiot.” He empathizes the last word as he leans against the counter. “My initials are not my name.” The man rolls his eyes as he only gives the two a glance. “That’s what makes up your name, hence your name.”
“That makes no sense.” His eyes stay on the screen but his face scrunches at the mans comment.
“Moving on,” the man drags out as he leans further into the counter toward Jenna who turned to him, still holding the cat. “What brings you here?” He asks, fighting the smirk that slowly begins to form on his face.
“Uh..” Jenna mumbles as her eyes travel down to the cat who stares back up at her. “Just in the area?..” it comes out as more of a question and Lyles face drops as he stares at the girl, head resting in hand.
“Just in the area?” He asks, clearly not buying whatever lie she was trying to tell. “Yeah.” She states but it comes out uncertain as if she were trying to figure it out herself.
“Uh huhh,” he says as his other hand comes up to rest under his chin with the other. “Definitely not because of a library loser.” He says, legs kicking behind the counter as he raises his eyebrows suggestively at her.
She opens her mouth to speak but is quickly stopped at the sound of foot steps echoing in the quiet library.
“Just don’t forget to tell your parents, yeah?” A man’s voice says as she looks up to see you, Mj and a man who had to be the source of the voice.
“Got it.” You reply before your eyes meet hers and she can’t help but notice the way your eyes scrunch up as you smile at her or the way her heart begins beating at a faster pace as you do so.
“Hey,” you say as you step toward her glancing down at the cat in her hands. “Is that my cat?” The confusion in your voice evident as you point at it “Does it look like your cat?” Mj asks, rolling her eyes as she locks the door behind the plumber.
“Yes but my cat doesn’t like people.” You state, watching as it begins rubbing its head against her cheek and his purrs grow louder.
“Sound like someone you know?” Dru asks as a small smile forms on his face.
“Well, he clearly likes Jenna.” Lyle mumbles as you narrow your eyes down at the cat who seemed to be taunting you with his eyes. He had never been that affectionate before, why was he starting now?
“Jealous?” Jenna asks, eye brow rising as she smirks up at you. Your narrowed eyes move to her as you press your lips together.
You started noticing different things about Jenna, like now how she used certain things to her advantage to get to you. A way to tease you more so but to see your reactions always gave her a boost in both her ego and confidence.
“I think she’s more jealous of the cat.” All confidence was gone at the comment Lyle says as he watches the two of you, amused by every look or comment you’d send each other. The blush from the cold air outside turned darker as she looked back down to the cat and the shade on your face was much darker.
He liked the way you both seemed to blush, now certain you both had interest in the other but then Mj’s voice broke his thoughts about their earlier conversation and he let a pout take his features as he slipped down the counter and to the other side.
It wasn’t going to be easy nor enjoyable for the man but it was what was right. Not being able to interfere much was going to kill him but he figured if he could get to tease you both a little he would live.
“I still think it’s strange how such a skittish thing could just decide it wasn’t going to be skittish with one person.” You state, laughing quietly to yourself as you make your way back toward the table.
“He’s usually not like this?” Jenna asks as she follows after you leaving Lyle to peek over the counter to watch you.
“Quit, you’re being creepy.” Mj says as she moves past the small door to see him in a squatting position.
“It’s not creepy, I’m just observing.” He states as his eyes narrow at the lack of spaces between you both as Jenna takes her seat not in front of you but beside you.
“Yeah, like a creep.” She mutters as she looks over toward the two of you.
“They’re so infuriating.” The man mumbles inviting her statement as he turns around and leans against the cup cabinets, legs sprawled out.
The woman only shakes her head and rolls her eyes, preparing herself for the rant that’s to come from the man.
“Business school?” She asks as she looks over your notebook and the many erased parts on it as she subconsciously rubs Achilles.
“Cant let some random stranger take over once my parents retire, you know?” You say as you tap to end of the pencil on the table, looking over the work Mj had marked wrong.
“Worst part about being the kid of a library owner is people think you’re smart.” You state as you begin erasing once again. “So, you’re not smart?”
You snort quietly as you look up toward her. “Oh I definitely am, my mom made sure of that.” You state at the thought of you and your mom at the table in the middle of the night while you cry over homework.
“Math was just never my strongest subject.” You state, glaring down at the paper with the faintest of pouts on your face.
That’s one thing Jenna began to notice more often, your facial expressions. Even the smallest ones became more noticeable. Or maybe she was just staring you too often.
“What about you?” You ask suddenly leaning back into your chair. “Do you go to college?” It was a reasonable question, she was your age and definitely suitable for going but it still saddened her slightly.
“No, I’m focusing more on my acting career.” She states with a small smile as she stares down at the cat in her lap who had fallen asleep with its head up.
“It makes me wonder what my life would be like if I never started acting.” She hums out quietly and she begins tracing the stripes across your cat.
The way her face relaxes with sorrow makes your heart ache slightly, the tightening feeling only makes you want to reach out to her and comfort her but would that be pushing it?
No, it couldn’t have been, right? You had grown close over the last month but you didn’t want to make her uncomfortable.
“Well, I’m glad you didn’t.” The words come out certain, cocky almost. A smirk plays it’s way onto your face as she looks up with a raised eyebrow and a small smile.
“Why’s that?” She asks, leaning toward you subconsciously and you can’t help but do the same very not as much as she does.
If there was no distance between you both before, there certainly wasn’t now with her thigh and arm pressed against yours.
“Because then you wouldn’t have come here and knocked down the books off the shelf or I wouldn’t have met you.” You say, smirk; proud of yourself for having any type of height to help her with the book.
A quiet laugh comes from the woman, one you had heard many times in different forms but it had also got your heart pounding against your chest, eager to get out and display itself before her.
“That is a good point.” She says nodding to herself as she continues rubbing Achilles across his back making it arch subconsciously in his sleep. Her eyes meet yours, they’re once again scrunched up from your smile and far warmer than the weather outside, it causes her heart to beat even faster than before.
She goes to say something else but is once again interrupted by one of your friends.
“Everyone stop!” Dru calls out as he stands quickly, the screech of the chair filling the room. Lyle’s head pops above the counter and Mj looks up from her book.
“Can you shut the hell up?” She calls out, annoyance clear in her voice as the man begins gathering his things.
“It’s 5:30, we need to go.” He says, rushing around to pick things up and put them away.
That’s right. Thirty minutes before Thursday throw down on Minecraft, a large match on bed wars with a hundred players against each other. Something he took far too seriously.
“Go where?” Jenna asks as you begin gathering your things. “Back to my place for his stupid little game.” You roll your eyes looking back at every Thursday’s for the past five years.
“You should come see us screaming at a screen.” You state as you look toward the girl, realization hits you when you realize it wasn’t exactly a question. “If you want, that is.”
She laughs quietly as the man rushes past the two of you with many CD cases in hand, eager to get back to your apartment.
“I would love to.” She says and relief rushes through you and a smile graces your face. “Great.” You say, smile never leaving as you go to put the books in the respective spot while trying to remember if you had cleaned up your apartment or not.
“Hurry!” The man ushers all of you as he grabs the leash to Achilles harness and clips it to him making Jenna take it as she stands, still refusing the drop the cat.
————
You’re eyes quickly find the familiar old homeless man in front of your apartment building bringing a smile to your face as he plucks his guitar strings with such elegance even you were jealous.
“Hey Julian.” You say with a smile as you step up to him and he stops playing to look at your small group.
“Ah, on another one of your sleep overs?” He asks as he scans the group before his eyes land on Jenna. “And you brought a new friend.” He says with a smile but Dru quickly shuts any time for introductory out as he storms past you.
“5:53, let’s go people!” He says as he storms inside the door.
The man rolls his eyes before they land on Lyle. “I see why the boys are acting strange now, you’re here Lyle.” He says and the man stiffens up, the thought of six little boys running around your apartment building with water guns clear in his mind.
Your smile grows as you move past him, Mj and Jenna not far behind. “Careful, ellos quieren venganza..” the man says and you can’t help but feel sorry for Lyle who was about to be soaked in — god knows from where — water.
You rush up the stairs to your floor only to be met with a Dru who looks down at his watch and shuffles around anxiously.
“Come on.” He drags out as you walk up to the door and unlock it.
As soon as the door opens Achilles jumps out of Jenna’s arms and circles your feet, screaming loudly as you make your way to the kitchen.
You huff out as he jumps up on the counter to watch you grab his food.
“Turn it on!” You hear Dru call out as Mj settles into the bean bag next to your couch, holding up the remote as Dru sits eagerly on the edge of the couch leaving Jenna to stand in your kitchen as she looks around the small kitchen connected to your much larger living room.
“This is nice.” She says as Mj turns on the Led lights and Dru messes with the tv controls.
“Thanks, don’t mind the cat hair.” You mumble as you place the cat bowl on the ground making Achilles jump down and begin eating.
“There’s lots of it, everywhere.” You say brushing some off your hands and watching it fall to the floor. You would have to clean it up later.
You walk past her and place your phone on the counter where Dru and Mj’s sat before making your way into the living room.
She couldn’t help but smile at your lack of need for social media, all of you. Yeah, you posted a lot but other than that you all seemed to actually talk and enjoy each others presence rather than be hunched over on your phones.
She hesitates for a moment before placing her own phone on the counter and following you into the living and taking a seat next to you on the couch.
You had het a controller and she furrows her eyebrows in confusion.
“Don’t worry,” you say pressing the power button on hers then yours. “I’ll teach you and make sure Dru doesn’t try anything.” You say as you scoot toward her a little more so your knees are touching. You couldn’t tell if she could hear your heart beating in your chest or not but you hoped she couldn’t.
The door suddenly slams open making you all look up to see a partially wet Lyle as water begins squirting inside the apartment.
“You can’t hide forever, Lyle Lyle crocodile!” A voice calls as he slams to the door shut and a chorus of high pitched laughs rings outside your door.
“I’m crashing here tonight.” He says as he storms toward your room. Now you see why all of your clothes were mixed with the groups, you all had different articles of clothes littered around your rooms and at this point you didn’t know what belongs to who.
“We’re starting the game without him.” Dru says as the starting screen pops up and all four of your characters pop up divided into four parts of the tv. This should be fun.
————
And fun it was. For you and Dru at least, while Lyle watched Mj attack different players you were helping Jenna at her own base and protecting her from Dru who swore he would get her ‘stupid pink’ bed.
A rivalry began between the two as Jenna got used to the game she would insist on going after Dru many times. With your help she of course did get him, it was truly beautiful.
Now you sat next to Jenna as the game came to an end, Lyle and Mj had fallen asleep, while Dru was taking pictures of the screen to flaunt to everyone on his discord about how he had gotten first place in the tournament.
You look to Jenna who watched Dru with a small smile on her face and you found yourself wondering how many freckles really did litter across her smooth skin. Her features were absolutely perfect, from her nose, to her eyes and to her high cheek bones. You didn’t really see any flaws as your eyes travel to her lips, curled up into a smile.
Your eyes snap up as she looks toward you, smile becoming softer before an idea comes to mind. You gesture toward the window that led onto your fire escape watching confusion fill her face.
You laugh lightly before grabbing her wrist and leading her toward the window before pulling it open and stepping out only to be met with the cold air of the winter night and slide yourself to sit on the edge of the fire escape.
Jenna’s not to far behind as she steps out after you as she swings her legs over the ledge.
“Not bad for your first try at bed wars.” You say as you lean back against your arms and look toward her.
“Who said it was my first time?” Raising an eyebrow she turns her head toward and smirks lightly.
“Yeah, let’s just forget how you were walking off the edges of your island non stop.” She sucks her teeth and rolls her eyes but her smile never leaves as she stares you. “Totally not your first time.”
She chuckles lightly as she glances around and looks at the city while your eyes never leave her. With the wind blowing past her, she looks almost ethereal, would have if she didn’t shiver lightly before settling back down.
The sound of cars honking, metal clanking together and other sounds you were used to sound through the air, creating a back ground noise for you as you watch her. The way her breathing was calm, much calmer than yours. The way she watched the loud city before, bright colors shining on her face making it light it up completely giving you full view of her side profile.
“It’s beautiful.” She says looking at the lit up city you were not really worried about at the moment as you continued to stare at her.
“Yeah, it is.” You reply quietly and she slowly takes her eyes from the glowing city before they land on you.
You both sat there for a moment, staring at each other unsure of what to do or what the other might do. The air felt two times thicker as you attempted to get your breathing and heart beat under control as her eyes stay locked with yours.
You watched as her eyes snap down once before quickly moving back up to your eyes and you can’t help the twist that form in your stomach tempted to do the same as you glance between both of her eyes, they were darker than they usually were in the light.
You break slightly as you too glance down before quickly looking back up and you lean in, slowly and hesitantly as you watch her every reaction carefully.
She seems to subconsciously do the same, but this time her eyes continue to move from your eye and back down to your lips.
Your nerves boost through the roof as you get closer, heart beat beating quicker than it ever has and suddenly a line of chords begins to play. You recognized it, the way they sounded far too beautiful to be just anyone playing.
The sound quickly becomes a background noise along with the sounds of the city as you come close to Jenna, lips a few centimeters apart as you glance down toward them them back to her eyes to search for any hesitation or want to back out.
Her breath fans over your face lightly as she stares up at you, eyes wide and waiting as she watches you.
“Is this okay?” You ask in a quiet voice, too quiet for your liking as your heart beat drums through your ears, eyes looking over Jenna’s face. There was no need to ask to kiss her, she could clearly see what you were doing but you wanted to make sure this is what she wanted.
And it was in fact what she wanted. The thought of your slightly chapped lips kissing hers made her heart jump into her throat and claw its way out.
Her only response is reaching up and leaning in, her hands resting gently on her face as her lips brush against yours with hesitation. The feeling sends a shock through your body that makes you shiver lightly as her skin begins to feel hot against yours.
You let out a shaky breath as you too lean in, lips crashing against her a bit too eagerly but she doesn’t seem as she leans in further, deepening the kiss completely as her body presses against yours.
You suddenly become all to aware of your surroundings, the sounds of the city filling your senses as does the gentle guitar that plays under you.
Now you recognize it. Frank Sark. Which song exactly? You didn’t know but you knew it was being played by Julian. His music just as sweet as the girl in front of you. Holding your face with a gentleness of an angel that you didn’t deserve but she still gave it to you as her thumb rubs across your cheek lightly.
This was the perfect end of your night under the starless sky in the bright city.
Next part here!
A/N: my mistake was that I kept saying ‘your cat’ and my friend was making jokes 🥲
Also bare with me, I don’t know how to write people kissing much, I’ll probably edit it later.
I’m not sure if the kissing scene even made sense please tell me if it did🫶🏻

It's so funny to me that it's so obvious when I get a new hyperfixation because everything everywhere for example tis blog suddenly turns to what ever hyperfixation I have. . .
NOW I WANNA TALK ABOUT HUSK AND MY HEADCANONS FOR HIM BECAUSE THAT SILLY GRUMPY OLD-MAN CAT IS TAKING OVER MY BRAIN (contains a bit of huskerdust and bad grammar because english is not my first language but I have no respect for it so /j)
So I fully headcanon that husk has the most un organised and dirty room for some reason, like he never even bothered decorating it.
He hates baths and oils and stuff like that because it's really hard to take off from his wings and fur.
He refused to wash his hands with water and he cleaned his hands like cats do before eating food or serving drinks so charlie forced him to at least use wet wipes (idk how to write tht but hope you understand it)
He loves old fashioned love songs, usually mumbles some lyrics he still remebers while working and the others like to hear his singing.
The fluffies fluff ever, he doesn't really use any products (only dry shampoo from time to time) AND STILL HIS FUR IS EXTREMLY FLUFFY.
He got extremly bad body dismorfia when he arrived at hell.
The others tease him alot whenever he does any cat sounds.
Instead of a glass of water on his nightstand he had a bottle of whiskey or any other alcohol.
If he's in the mood (and charlie asks nicely + a day off) he might do some magic tricks to entretain the other guests.
Whenever he speaks spanish he always calls evryone pendejo (as a mexican that is also my favorite curse word I gotta add that). Like him and vaggie are fighting and she desn't know he speaks apanish so she starts insuting him in spanish and he goes "CALLATE LA PINCHE BOCA PENDEJA TUERTA" (traduction: SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING ONE EYED WOMAN) and she shuts up because she didn't expect that. (Now they speak in spanish together sometimes)
One time Sr. Pentious gave him catnipp because angeldust dared him to and husk went WILD. Like everyone was laughing nd half th hotel was filled with cat scratchs while husk followed Sr.Pentious who was escaping with the catnip in hand from him kind of wild.
He wants hugs and he won't admitt it.
Used to be a bit to proud as an overlord which is also half the reason why he lost to alastor.
Fucker cries a lot and won't admitt it because he already stablished to everyone that "I don' give a shit about anything and fuck y'all" and now he just can't.
He falls asleep a lot during work because he is drunk.
He owns a phone but uses it like a grandma, he puts on the glasses to read and everything
He once had a very bad night and got EXTREMELY DRUNK and ended up doing a karaoke with charlie and Sr Pentious.
Alastor would ocationaly take him to the Overlords meetings as his "body guard" and he would get extrembly embarrased because everyone recognised him and he knew they all thought of him as a failure for being an Overord who lost his own soul to Alastor and was now forced to obey him.
Thanks to loser,baby I think Husk may be a pet names man (affectionatelly both romantic and just with friends)
Husk reminds me a bit of "No surprises" by radiohead (i don't really know how to explain it but yeah)
I think his relationship with angel (romantically speaking) would be really gentle like, cuddles, hugs, little kisses, cause he wants to show that romantic relationships don't always need to have sex included (angel appretiates that)
I feel like they told each other their felling for the other but bth came to the conclution that maybe they are not in the best mental state to get into a relationship at the moment so they asked charlie and vaggie to help a bit.
I have more but this is getting a bit long so I'll make a part two!!!!!!!
(Have some photos of the silly 70 yr old grumpy cat-man)

I know where I belong. Part 9
Tumblr media
----------------------------------------------------- Warnings- Angst for Steve, fluff for everyone.
Part 10 -----------------------------------------------------
Your POV- ‘This was all you, none of it me’ I see Sharon pushing you in anger. Your eyes fell on me. I didn’t feel anything. ‘I was too strong, you were trembling. You couldn't handle the hot heat rising, mmm, Baby, I'm still rising’ Bucky holds my hand and leads me to the dance floor. I can see Sharon is being abusive towards you and you are speechless. ‘I'm giving you up. I've forgiven it all. You set me free.’ Whereas I found my happiness thanks to you Steve. I look deep into Bucky’s eyes and all I can see is me in them and the love they hold for me. Bucky kisses me softly, not to tease you or show it to the world. But to remind me that he is with me and he is mine. Thank you, Steve, for giving me Bucky and setting me free. ‘Send my love to your new lover. Treat her better. We gotta let go of all of our ghosts. We've both know we ain't kids no more.’ Sharon threw her drink on you and left.
Sharon was hurt and angry. How could Steve stop be being Captain America? How dare he retired? “How could you do this to me Steve?” She pushes him in anger, demanding answers. “I did it for us babe. We can have more time together, start a family.” Steve is somewhat hopeful, Sharon will agree. But instead she starts to scream at him. “Family? A fucking family? Are you out of your mind? You ruined everything!” Steve was not expecting this. No this can’t be happening to him. His eyes fell on you and Bucky dancing together, without a care in the world. Sharon, saw what he was looking at. “All this because of that bitch?” before Steve could say something, Sharon threw her drink on him and left.
Sam was the first to burst out laughing followed by Tony. You and Bucky kind of felt bad for him...but? Oh, never mind. Steve was angry, on top of that he was insulted and Bucky kissed you. “So, you two an item or something?” He snaps at you both, Tony and Sam were ready to give him a piece of mind but Bucky was quick with his metal arm colliding in Steve’s face. Steve stumbled back, breath taken away. A huge bruise was formed on his cheek. Bucky didn’t say anything turning his back on him. “If you know what’s good for you, keep your mouth shut.” Tony warns Steve and he nods in response. After some minutes Sharon joined you all for drinks. Everyone ignored her. “Fine you and the bitch can gang up all you want. I don’t care.” Before anyone can say something to defend you, this time you were quick to throw your drink on her and give her a black eye. “Anyone wants more drinks? Mine is empty” Tony whistled proudly, while Sam sang praises, and Bucky?...well god help him with the boner you just gave him. He has seen you fight plenty of time before, but this was “SEXY” he actually said it out loud. While you headed to get drinks for everyone, Nat was quick to grab Sharon by her hair so tight breaking few a lot of strands. “Be careful with what you say next.” She warns her, letting go of her hair not so gently making sure her head bangs on the table, damn it didn’t.
As the party went on, more guests had arrived. One particular guest was John Walker, Bucky absolutely hated him. Why? Let’s say long before you were even Steve’s girlfriend, John misbehaved with you and Bucky beat the shit outta him.
Bucky was about to get up to throw him out before Tony stopped him with a hard glare. “Fine but if he does not behave, I won’t be held responsible for my actions.” Bucky tells not so very sweetly. “He won’t do anything, anyway he is The Director of Shield’s favorite.” Now what Tony said was pure sarcasm, but little miss Sharon thought something else and quickly left.
An hour later Steve came around searching for Sharon. “Have you guys seen Sharon?” “Nope, must be lost with the black eye.” Sam laughed, Steve looked utterly confused. “No, we have not seen her, since Walker arrived.” Nat told him. “Hmm speaking about him, where is he?” You asked before pouting at the way Bucky was looking at you for asking about Walker, “What? I asked only to stay the hell away from him.” Bucky nodded to your answer but kept looking at you like an angry puppy. Steve was looking visibly upset as no one was helping him. Tony took a pity and asked FRIDAY about Sharon’s whereabouts. “Miss Carter is in the gym with John Walker.” As soon as FRIDAY said that all heads turn towards Steve, “Maybe she is teaching Walker how to use the gym” Sam snickers, “With a black eye?” Tony asks and you all leave with Steve towards the gym. “Bucky, I don’t have a good feeling about this” you whispered in his ear, but Steve could hear your concern due to his super hearing. “Don’t worry doll.” Bucky assured you. When you all reached the gym, John’s loud moans were echoing. Steve was not ready to open the door. Somewhere you all knew what was happening. Nat took the initiative and open the door. All the emotions drained from Steve’s body, you all froze to the sight of John walker leaning on the wall, pants and boxers dropped to his ankles and Sharon on her knees, mouth full. When Steve cheated on you, that feeling was so horrible you didn’t wish it for anyone to experience. So what Steve must be feeling right now, you could understand.
Part 10
----------------------------------------------------- (Hey lovelies part 9 is here and I hope you all enjoy. Comments and feedbacks are appreciated. The next part will be the last of this series. Lot's of love to you all. 😊❤️) -----------------------------------------------------

Everything Has Changed
Cause all I know is we said, "Hello"
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
And everything has changed
Molly didn’t know where he was, barely knew who he was. When he finally opened his eyes - eyes? eyes never shut - and was faced with a pink firbolg, Molly was more confused than ever. So he ran.
Empty empty empty. He’s lost in himself and in this terrifying cavern - of flesh? - and he doesn’t know anything. There’s words in his mouth and people around him and he doesn’t know who anyone is. They’re hugging him and saying things and he’s just lost.
Except you, back behind everyone and quiet, you catch his eye and he knows you, he’s sure he does. But his heart is beating out of his chest and he can’t catch his breath so he gives in, lays on the ground, lets himself fade out.
*
Molly had never seen the Blooming Grove before, but he quite liked it and the Clay family. Eccentricity appealed to him - he was eccentric, wasn’t he? - but the family was just kind. They almost reminded him of another group, people he couldn’t quite picture or name, but the lingering feeling of family made him wonder.
For a week or so, you watched as Molly wandered the Grove, slowly recovering memories. He was never far from Yasha. Jester had fixed up his coat for him and he looked nearly like he had before you’d lost him. Some missing eye tattoos and slightly underfed but that would change with time.
*
“Is there a reason you’re avoiding a particular tiefling?” Fjord asked you, joining you where you were weeding a section of the cemetery.
“I spoke to Jester like an hour ago.” You reply without looking up.
“Alright, smartass.” Fjord scoffs and rolls his eyes.
“I’m not avoiding Molly; I’m giving him space.” You say.
“Does he know that?” Fjord asks. You look up at him sharply, frowning.
“He doesn’t remember…us. Whatever we were. I don’t wanna add any extra pressure on him.”
“And when he does remember, what then?” Fjord asks.
“I’ll tell him what I just told you.” You stand, yanking off your gloves. “What’s this about Fjord?”
“Everyone’s worried about you.” Fjord admits, rubbing his neck. “All of this is…a lot. Molly’s back but you’ve hardly reacted, barely talked to him. I just wanted to check in.” You try not to bristle at Fjord, he’s just doing what he does, checking in on his friends. But hardly reacted?
You’ve cried yourself to sleep almost every night since you returned to the Grove.
What was worse? Losing Molly or having a Molly who didn’t remember you? Losing Molly or having him so close but out of reach? Your chest aches and you fought hard not to cry in front of Fjord.
“I’m fine.” You tell him.
“Bullshit.” You and Fjord both jump as Beau speaks up. Sometime during your conversation she’d wandered over and now she was facing you with crossed arms and a raised brow. “You look like shit.”
“Beau.” Fjord hissed. She just rolled her eyes, waving her hand at him.
“You gotta talk to him or something, just watching you is making me miserable.” She said, poking you lightly in the chest.
“I don’t want to pressure-“ Beau cuts you off.
“Yasha said he asks about you, can’t figure out why you’re avoiding him. Molly’s not remembering everything yet but - just go talk to him.”
*
Molly’s been watching you, keeping track of where you were throughout the day. He wasn’t sure why. He’d wanted to speak to you before now but you seemed to disappear anytime he got too close.
Until today. He was sitting against a tree outside the Clay home, reading through Beau’s journal. Well, more specifically, he was struggling to read the journal and was considering asking Beau to just read it aloud. Molly looked up at the sound of feet crunching grass.
“Hey.” You greeted him with a small smile.
“Hello.” Molly replied blankly, confused - and intrigued - by the way his pulse quickened in your presence.
“Can I join you?” Molly nods so you settle beside him on the ground. You can’t bring yourself to say anything else though. What do you say?
“Did I…do something to you?” Molly asks and you jolt back to the present, out of your head. “To make you avoid me?”
“Oh no, no, I wasn’t-“ You sigh. “I wasn’t trying to avoid you but I was. I wanted you to have space.”
Molly cocked his head, observing you through narrowed red eyes. He looked back to the journal then his gaze wandered to your lap, where you were wringing your hands together.
“Space from you?” You nodded and he hummed in thought. “Because…we were together?”
“…yes.” You answer. Molly blinked.
“Wait, really?” He asked, grin curling across his lips.
“Yes?” You reply, slightly confused.
“I didn’t think I’d be right.” Molly laughed, reaching and grabbing one of your hands. “I’d hoped, of course, and obviously something had happened between us but- it really was like this, the two of us?”
Molly was looking at you so openly and adoringly that you almost couldn’t think straight, couldn’t really fight the heat rising to your cheeks.
“Yeah, for a while before…” You trailed off but started again. “I didn’t want to make you feel like you had to be with me, remember me right away.”
“Trust me, I’m very unhappy to have forgotten anything about you.” A sweet sentiment but you’re pretty sure Molly’s enunciation was meant to be teasing too. “Thank you for treating me so kindly though I would have preferred you spoke to me earlier.”
“Sorry.” You say softly, glancing up from your hand in his to look at him. He leaned forward to rest his forehead against yours.
“We’ll just have to make up for lost time.” Molly said. He took a deep breath, just enjoying your presence when something tickled at the back of his mind.
“You used to call me your Tea-lightful Tealeaf when you were in a silly mood.” Molly says it as a statement but pulls away enough to see your face, to see if he’s right.
“Okay, you could’ve waited to remember that.” You groan, covering your face with your free hand. “I only did it because it made you laugh.”
“Don’t you hide from me.” Molly pulled your hand off your face, held both of your hands in his. “We have all the time in the world now to be silly and laugh together.”
“I’ve missed you. A lot.” You manage to say without crying. Molly gives you a small smile.
“I feel like I’m missing me still.” Molly admits. “But I have you and our very odd friends, so my memories can take their time. They’ll return, in time.”
“And in the meantime,” Molly says, leaning his forehead back against yours, “I will delight in learning about you all over again.”

Kinnporsche fic I won't write:
the one where we can flesh out the ep 3-5 timeline, as Kinn's escorts all start getting a crush on Porsche, who is hot and sweet.
After Big outs Kinn and Porsche tells him off, he gets a little protective
does that asshole fuck with you? Decides he will take home all of Kinn's boys and Show An Interest.
He asks about their job and let's them pick the music and stops for street food & beers on the way driving them home, gossiping about shitty, entitled customers and why there isn't more of a retail to serial killer pipeline. It's not unlike a really charming first date, which is why they start shooting their shot. and, well, he's been so lonely & is used to getting laid on the job. They're pretty and friendly and smell like sex.
soon Porsche is making out with each escort at drop-off while the car idles at the curb. Just soft, slow kisses as he rubs his thumb behind the guy's ear, making him shiver into it. Everyone's Favorite Bartender Porsche walks each one to the door every time and ruffles their hair goodbye, and he's just SO. MUCH.
a repeat buisness escort starts gossiping w Kinn one night about Porsche's everything "did u know what he did THEN???? and that chain around this neck..., his skin there is SO SOFT. FUCK."
Kinn is like laughing mad about it for about 10 seconds but then just incredibly relieved that finally he can vent about his crush and they break out the good shit, getting increasingly hammered on top shelf whiskey and sharing the equivalent of thirst posts about Porsche's laugh, tits, waist, ass, and attractively terrible winking that would make kpop stans proud.
(the only escort who's ever stayed the night)
(because he was passed out on the floor, head under an end table and cuddling a jumbo bag of shrimp-flavored chips)
but then after The Auction Incident, Porsche takes home the flavor of the day and the boy is like CONCERNED. what is wrong w Porsche?? who broke him?! Bangkok sex worker phone tree engaged.
Kinm gets petulant looks behind his back, lazy handies, and passive aggressively awful blowjobs. It's not just that Kinn is pining, he's getting objectively bad service and is too distracted to notice.
instead of Kinn following advice from Pete on how to stop screwing up with Porsche he finally just breaks and asks his escort in THE MOST AWKWARD moment. They're like mid-fuck and Kinn just pulls back, still breathing hard and resting his weight on his hands. ahh! stop. I gotta ask you something. ... You've made out with Porsche, right? Sober? "... yes?" Explain how u made that happen. In detail.
kinn takes actual! notes! he's gonna get his man. and so he never visits Porsche on his break but when Porsche comes back to the compound Kinn is downstairs in like 5 min flat, he's RUSHING. It's super embarrassing, because he's obviously excited-anxious and a lil flustered and Big very much wants to die. (no, Big! in this more sexy universe u LIVE) (anyway) Kinn strolls up with serious buisness face and Porsche immediately gets defensive but then, like, confused. because Kinn wants him to drive them around to run?? errands?? all day??
and Kinn keeps trying to make small talk? and ask about what being a mafia bodyguard is actually like and which super nutritious meal disgusts you the most. Kinn is trying so hard to be chill and relateable and not a weirdo rich crime lord. It's totally not working at all, except Porsche is reluctantly charmed by how bad Kinn's taste in music is and how confidently he says ridiculous things and how he smiles to himself out the window when he thinks Porsche isn't looking.
he has them stop to get food and then cheap beers. puts a hand on Porsche's thigh and looks very expectant.
it clicks for Porsche, OMG. he is actually running the post-job make-outs playbook. starts laughing in Kinn's face, naturally, but then the patented awwww noooo come 'ere and coaxing Kinn's stern face to tilt back to him and accepting a sharp, petulant kiss that Porsche breaks off from to laugh more. ❤

Variant Crossover
[AU] by @exhaslo
Arachnis’ pronouns = They/Them/Their
[(A/N)]: Arachnis is my ATSV OC who has spider abilities based on the Sydney Funnel Web. It means they have the fangs with the lethal venom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Arachnis: *Icing their knuckles* …
Miguel: …
Villain!Miguel: *Locked up in a cell with a broken nose and bite marks* …
Arachnis: Miguel, why is your variant here and how did this happen? I was away for two weeks because of Protocol duties and this is what I returned to.
Miguel: We fought back in his dimension. He almost captured his Spider-Woman and stopped him since she could be a good asset to join our team.
Arachnis: *Sighs* Then you tried to take her, but he tagged along and saw me. Do I look like your Spider-Woman?
Villain!Miguel: You remind me of her.
Arachnis: I’m Arachnis. You almost killed my Miguel and had the audacity to lunge at me. Almost broke my hand from caving in your face.
Villain!Miguel: I thought you were my specimen. Someone I need to-
Arachnis: Do I look like your guinea pig, you psychopathic manwhore?
Miguel: *Pulls them behind* We’re sending you back. Wei.
Arachnis: Sorry, but he gives me the creeps. How is he your variant?
Miguel: Stone.
Arachnis: Oh, that explains everything.
Tumblr media
[Earth-???]
Arachnis: Let me get this straight. You, his Spider-Woman, have a fat-ass crush on this lunatic?
Spider-Woman: I wouldn’t say I have a crush on him…
Arachnis: …You’re in love with him? [Reader], he’s just an obsessive geneticist whose only goal is to “improve” humanity, no matter the cost of anyone’s life. I don’t think he’ll love you the same way my Miguel does. And he can barely hit me hard during training because he doesn’t want to hurt me.
Spider-Woman: I know, but I thought if I can show him a better view in humanity-
Arachnis: [Reader], people don’t change easily. Especially ones like him. *Glaring at Villain!Miguel*
Villain!Miguel: I didn’t do anything.
Arachnis: *Hisses at him* You need to rethink your standards and safeguard your well-being. You’ll only get hurt at the end if you don’t prevent yourself from falling into his manipulation.
Spider-Woman: I…I get it. You’re worried about me, but I can handle myself.
Arachnis: Your Miguel almost killed us. I should be worried, as your variant. Maybe it’s best you join the team so we’ll give you the necessary training since you just started your heroic journey.
Spider-Woman: *Sighs* Maybe…Then Miguel would be angry if I miss anything when I’m gone.
Arachnis: [Reader], find another job and resign his ass. I did when shit happened back in my dimension. It wasn’t easy, and look where it led me. I’m an agent fighting for a good cause. Don’t you want to fight for what’s right?
Spider-Woman: I do. It’s just…
Arachnis: I know it’s challenging for everyone who start their own story of heroism, but we can help you. I can help you.
Spider-Woman: *Biting their bottom lip out* …I’ll join.
Arachnis: Okay, you’re in. Oh, another fact to inform you. You gotta strike fear into your Miguel because in reality, female spiders are much bigger and aggressive than their male counterparts. Some of them are cannibalistic to their mates.
Spider-Woman: *Disturbed by the fact* Why would you tell me that?
Arachnis: Because I want you to put yourself first than find somebody you can actually cherish. And I’m your variant who studied Arachnology.
Tumblr media
[Back in Earth-928, Spider-Man 2099’s office/lair]
Arachnis: *Leaning next to their Miguel* Miguel, babe. I’m concerned about her. She’s in love with a psycho.
Miguel: I know. It’s…shocking unbelievable.
Arachnis: *Sighs* What’s her Canon Event?
Miguel: …S’not good.
Arachnis: Does she lose someone or she dies?
Miguel: …
Arachnis: You know the silence isn’t helping and making this suspenseful.
Miguel: She and my variant get together.
Arachnis: …I’m gonna cut his dick off. *Pulls out their Karambit*
Miguel: No! Amor! *Holds them up*
Arachnis: I warned her and sternly talked to her how she’ll get hurt at the end just by being with that scumbag.
Miguel: Thank shock I didn’t mentioned the pregnancy.
Arachnis: PREGNANCY?!! MIGUEL!!! Let me go! I’m not afraid to bite! He has 15 minutes to live!
Miguel: *Bites and injects his venom in them*
Arachnis: *Becomes paralyzed* Fuck…Why?
Miguel: You were about to kill him. I know the line of work you’re in back on Earth 2020-6-2 and I couldn’t let you.
Arachnis: Miguel…[Reader]…
Miguel: She’ll be fine. She informed me she’s deciding to resign her job and will join the Spider Society.
Arachnis: She did?
Miguel: After your talk with her.
Arachnis: *Sighs* I’m tired…I think…you used too much…
Miguel: I’ll take you home, amor.
Arachnis: Thanks Miguel…

👷‍♀️occupational hazards🐜
WorkerAnt, the world's app-first construction contracting platform, revolutionized the building-building industry. All you gotta do is just scroll through a couple of boring legal things on your phone and check some boxes and voila; you have everything you need to try and build a living with your own two hands! Who needs a fancy degree, or the hassle of going to a trade school? I certainly didn't!
They didn't even make me do a drug test, or ask why my name and sex didn't match what it still says on my license, so honestly it's like a win/win for everyone involved.
I did my paid training in like 20 minutes; I just needed to watch a few videos telling me where to go and what I’ll get fired for, plus one on how to use pronouns respectfully.
I already knew most of the stuff they were telling me, so I pretty much just got paid to relearn what the right things to call myself are for liability purposes. I usually do that for free!
Every day, all I gotta do is show up at the check-in location, get handed all my tools, and then I take my mandatory 30 minute lunch break in the app right as I wait in line for the elevator up to the job site, so I can focus on nothing but work for the next 12 hours. I don’t need to worry about food anyways, because they sometimes throw pizza parties for us, and there might be a few slices left when I come back down.
Most of the time work’s pretty boring; I'm just hammering some boards together or whatever. The whole building looks like it's basically already all built, so I'm not sure what all the things we're attaching and connecting to each other are supposed to do, and I don’t get paid enough to care.
But I can’t complain. It’s an honest job; I have tasks to accomplish and all the tools I need to accomplish them, as long as I don't fuck something up.
I'm very happy with this arrangement and it's all worked out really great for me so far.
It does get a bit lonely up there sometimes though.
There is my one coworker, Lana; I think she might also be trans, though it's kinda hard to tell under the hard hat goggles and respirator I always see her wearing. But she's always polite at me and doesn’t give me any trouble, and the bits of her voice I’ve heard that aren’t drowned over by power tools sound really nice.
Sometimes I think about it even when she's not around, which now that I think about it is kinda like stealing from the job site, and that’s a firable offense, so maybe I shouldn't be doing it.
She tends to work late like me, too. It takes us both longer than everyone else to finish all our tasks, but at least they pay us almost as much!
Tonight, it's New Year's Eve, and we're the only ones still up there; hammering stuff together, unable to look out at the empty city below, lit up and then abandoned for the season, because I'm being paid the minimum tipped wage to cut a 2x4 with a dinky little dollar store dremel, and we have to finish up before the sun sets, cause the cost of running the lights gets taken outta your pay.
BZZSCHLKK!
And now my finger hurts too.
I look down, staring at the little squiggly meat piece of guy lying on the workbench, and after a minute I realize that oh shit, that used to be part of my right pinky.
So might the scarlet mist that now covers most of the walls and floor. I’m gonna have to get THAT painted over before the end of my shift, too.
First things first, though.
"Um, hey Lana?"
The whirring echoing from the other side of the room powers down. Lana pulls her plastic goggles over the rim of her hard hat, both now spritzed ever-so-gently with my crimson phalangemarrow. She looks only mildly concerned as she swims upstream along the spatter pattern.
One of the stickers on her hat catches the sunlight, holographic prism reflections dazzling my vision before my pattern recognition software kicks in-
Y-yeah, I know what that logo is. I’m too afraid to ask her if she does, too though. They make s*x t*ys, after all, and I think those are by definition Not Safe For Work.
Without saying a word she grabs my wrist, yanking my hand up to her face to examine it. Even under the visor, her eyes are red; bloodshot, and they scare me a little, so I try speaking up.
"Um, Lana, I think I need to go to the, uh. Hospital, place,"
"Why?"
I stare at her, dumbfounded for a second, before a pulse of pain reminds me of the severance’s urgency.
"W-well, to get it, like, reattached, y'know?"
She looks at the little meat squiggum lying sadly on the bench, letting go of my hand.
"Not really anything left to reattach."
Her voice is muffled by the respirator, but her expression is one of almost boredom. I feel bad for offending her, even though I’m not sure how I did it.
I try flexing a bit. OUCH! Bad idea. I pinch hard just below the cut, to try to keep more things from coming out of me. "W-well, we have to at least try…"
She eyes her own workstation impatiently, dying orange skyfire burning in the reflections of her eyes. A little spurt of blood squirts out of my pinky stump.
"Look, if you keep wasting time worrying about stupid little things like that, you’re not gonna last long here.”
What the fuck is she talking about?! I’m very badly hurt, and I need to go get it checked out right away. Tears well up in my eyes as I keep staring at where my finger now ends, just above the second knuckle.
I'll never get to pinky promise silly things to my little sister again; I’d only have a reminder of this loss, something permanently removed I could never get back.
I inhale a sniffle. "P-please, we gotta go. I don't wanna go around rounding up the number of fingers I have for the rest of my life."
She rolls her eyes, reshielding them with her goggles. "Would a round number make you feel better?"
"What?"
My dremel's motor whines to life as she turns back to face me.
"For symmetry, y'know?"
Her tone concerns me.
She grabs my good hand, forcing it flat against the workbench. I try to pull free, but my knees are still a bit wobbly from the pain, and I don’t want to risk any sudden moves around the little spinning amputation death motor, so I can't try too hard.
“L-listen, I’m sorry for involving you. J-just let me go and I-I’ll just clock myself out, and get to the hospital on my own…” My hand grasps at her, trying to push her away, but all I succeed in doing is knocking her respirator loose, and I gasp as all the gouges and scars and other missing bits of her face come into focus at last.
I see her teeth click as her jaw clenches, bone trembling with the purest expression of rage. Her knuckles are white around the dremel.
"Long term, working here is gonna take a lot more of you than I’m gonna.”
BZZZZZZSZCHLRRKKRRRRRK--
“Oh, hold on, it got stuck.”
My vision doubles and quadruples, the room swimming around me as I try to keep myself from passing out. This is obviously a dream, and hey, I haven’t had one of these in a while, let’s just try to keep it going right hahahaha-
WHRRRGGZZCCHLLTLTTTTTT!
The spinny deathblade plants another gentle kiss against my fingerbone, tingling my entire skeleton with electromechanical sparks. I stare at a bead of sweat tracing down Lana's cheek as the blade grinds through at last with a spray of calcium white.
The whine fades as the disposable plastic motor inside the tool gets gummed up with mutilated chunks of gore. My mouth hangs open making a noise and I'm afraid it's probably kind of a pathetic one. The bottoms of my goggles are filling up with tears, but that means I’m doing a good job of keeping the crying contained inside, so there's a chance Lana might still think I'm cool.
“There you go. Eight plus two halves equals nine. Almost as many as before.”
“ohgodohgodohgodohgod-” I wish I had something more interesting to say.
“What? I thought you wanted a round number.”
“Ijustwantedmyhandstobenormalagain-”
She pauses for a moment, then wanders off into the neighboring room, leaving me standing there, trembling alone in the dark.
I think about trying to find my own way back to the elevator, but I’m afraid of tripping over a lead pipe or something on the ground and having to use my damaged limbs to break my fall and mangling them further, and I don’t wanna get my phone all bloody to use the flashlight either, so I stay put.
Fireworks burst off in the distance, prematurely celebrating the dawn of a big new thing. I try not to look down at my mutilated handflesh, instead insisting my gaze on the sunset bathing over the city.
It's a really nice view, and I don't know if I'll get to be up here to enjoy it ever again.
“Okay, here, I can fix everything.”
She's returned, and I can’t get away from her because I don’t want to say no, so I let her take my bleeding broken hands and lead me to the workbench again.
Behind her gore-spattered goggles, I can see her eyes are swimming with tears now too, like she doesn't know what the fuck she's doing either, but I don't even hate her for it, I don't think.
"Here, just hold onto me. I'll fix you."
She presses up close, close enough that I can feel a bit of her heat even through her jacket. She takes my unrecognizably mutilated hand in her own and strokes it softly.
The lead in my stomach sinks deeper when I see that she's holding a staple gun in her other.
I tighten my grip, spilling blood onto her palm.
THUNK.
THUNK.
THUNK.
----------------------------------------
She sweeps the remains of my amputated digits off the ledge with her boot, sending little chunks of meat tumbling into the glimmering city grid. Thankfully, the night is cold enough now that I can't feel much of my hands at all.
Staple gun didn't work out too good.
She fiddles with something on the side of her hard hat, and a light comes on. It's kind of dim, but it's better than nothing.
We walk past piles of unsawed boards, boxes of nails and wrenches and other tool things. Neither of us say anything to each other. Even more fireworks are whistling and exploding above the city in the distance but I'm not getting paid to care.
She stands beside me in the dusk-filled elevator. We descend slow, neither of us averting our gaze from the doors sealed tight in front of us.
“Um, Lana?”
“Yeah?”
“I don’t think I'm coming in to work tomorrow.”
“You’re not,” she states plainly. “Any injury sustained on the clock is grounds for termination, remember?”
“Oh, right…”
We’re quiet for a while. I don’t like the silence, the emptiness, so I try to fill it as always. “Um, I’m sorry for getting you involved…”
“It’s fine,” she lets out a quivering little sigh and turns to face me at last. “I don’t think they were gonna keep me on much longer, either way. I waste a lot of staples…”
I pick at a little crooked piece of metal worming its way through the layers of fat and muscle that once made up our entwined fingers, wondering how much more might need to be amputated by the time we get to a hospital, then a laugh catches in my throat, when I remember we no longer have health insurance.

CLONE HIGH (2023) EP. 8 SPOILERS
Okay, I know I’m opening up myself to a bunch of arguing but like... We need to have a talk. I should preface this by saying I’m not a die hard fan of Clone High. I only caved into watching the original series a few days before the reboot dropped despite hearing about it for years. I think they’re both good but I have my problems with both.
But I wanna talk about Topher Bus, a Christopher Columbus clone in a Gen Z world. He’s kind of taken over the role of Ghandi as Abe’s best friend in the revival, since the creators don’t want to bring him back unless they know they’re gonna be able to make more seasons. He hasn’t had a lot of screen time or development because the abundance of characters in this version. However, him becoming somewhat close with Abe has resulted in some fans shipping them.
So imagine their surprise when Topher tries to blackmail (or white leverage) Abe at the end of the final episode because he is attracted to Joan as well. I’ve seen so many people actually get angry about this. Many found themselves disappointed that Topher wasn’t straight or that he’d do something so terrible to Abe.
To which I say... Why would you expect anything else from this guy?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Topher’s whole thing was that he was an asshole who tried way too hard to convince people he’s progressive or an ally or “woke”, a term he unironically uses. He goes on and on about how he’s looking out for poc and women because he’s just trying to survive in a world that has flat out rejected his clone father.
“But he has a ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ rainbow flag in his room!” Yeah, he does. He also has a co-exist poster, too. Good for him. Except there’s also a poster that says “Not a paid activist”. It’s a front! That’s the point! 
“But he keeps trying to drill it into everyone’s heads that he’s straight, like a closeted person!” Yes, he does. But it’s not just closeted people who do that. I went to a Catholic school and I also live in the real world. I’ve seen dudes be afraid to drink tea or hug because it might make them look “gay” or “feminine” or whatever bullshit.
“The way he said he liked Joan and white women in general was so exaggerated that he must be forcing himself to say it!” This is Clone High! Everything in this show is so exaggerated. From the very beginning, it’s been a parody of teen satires. It was created by the duo that would go on to make Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street and The LEGO Movie. This is their style.
“The episode would have been better if he blackmailed Abe into not confessing to Joan because he had a crush on Abe.” So you’re saying you would have liked the episode more if Topher had gone “Abe, the reason I almost got you molested by a teacher was because I’m in love with you”? I need you to realize how fucked that is.
Topher is a weasly little shit who tries to convince everyone how progressive he is when he’s actually a total asshole. That was the point. Y’all thinking he was in love with Abe or that he had Abe’s best intentions at heart just means that it worked. You took the bait. I’m not saying shipping Tophabe would be immoral (okay maybe after the whole statutory rape thing but that’s just for right now). There’s a solid chance that their friendship could be salvaged after this. I certainly never thought I’d ship Cleo with anyone but know she and Frida are my OTP. But you gotta stop pretending that this character is someone he isn’t.
I might delete this because I’m just trying to get my feelings out. I’m not calling anyone stupid or whiny just because they got upset by the new episodes. (Shoutout to my boy, @warcrimetime​. Sorry they took JoanFK from you so soon). This is just another case of me getting annoyed by people calling queerbait just because a ship didn’t become canon and me getting everything out of my system. (But also, if Joan does see Topher’s blackmail and her reaction is anger at Abe and not “HOLY SHIT YOU WERE MOLESTED?!” then that would actually be legit bad writing).
TL;DR:
Tumblr media
Although, maybe I’m just not upset because I got Kahlopatra and you guys lost your OTP and I just don’t understand, I dunno.

Hello! Do you have any suggestion for someone who wants to start storytelling on simblr? Thank you <3
Hiii nonny! I'm a lil honoured you'd ask me this ngl 😳 Have some rambling advice ❤ (using the word advice lightly here - please believe me when I say I'm winging it)
General writing advice:
DO THE THING! Seriously, just start!
Tell your story because you enjoy it. If you're not enjoying it, think about why n' switch it up.
Try and avoid comparing yourself to others. Easier said than done, but it'll only lead to self doubt and demotivation, so quit it!
Personally, I'm not a planner.. but it can be useful to have something set out to begin with, even if it's as simple as an idea or a basic beginning/middle/end kinda deal.
Any writing advice you come across out there is simply that, advice. Take it with a grain of salt and just do you.
Give your characters depth. No one's perfect, and we're certainly not black and white. We all make questionable decisions sometimes, but we're not defined by singular actions. A villain and a hero are equally boring without a decent backstory. Maybe it's not your thing, or it's boring.. but digging into psychology can really help with this one. I kinda find it interesting anyway ¯\(°_o)/¯
Regarding the above and backstories, don't bore everyone by spelling it out at the beginning.. we probably don't need to know. Drip feed us it bit by bit so we can figure out the why and the how behind every character slowly, it's way more interesting and engaging. No one needs to know all the facts from the get go.
Think about the why behind everything. Say someone steals some money, why did they do it? Did they have no choice? Was it to feed their family, or their drug habit? How does that make them feel? Were they bullied or forced into doing it? Did they do it for the thrill, if so.. why do they need that rush? So and so hates the snow, why? Do they just prefer warm weather? Does it make it harder for them to do what they enjoy? A bad experience? Why why why, all the time!
This one's gonna sound a bit weird, but bare with me here. Try and think in terms of but and consequently, instead of and then. For example.. X happens, consequently Y happens. Or your character was gonna do X but Y happened so consequently they've gotta do Z instead. It makes for a more interesting set up rather than a bunch of scenes with little correlation. A happens and then B and then C etc etc.. boring! Consequences have actions!
Similarly to the above, don't rush! Sometimes X and Y have to happen before we get to Z. Take romance for example, we all love a good slow burn. Those big pay off scenes are worth a little patience.
If you're having trouble piecing things together, try and keep the above two points in mind. If you need to get to Z but don't know how, just think about what has to happen before you can get there.. aka X/Y. I do this one all the time because I don't plan much.. so I'll get an idea but I'll have to piece together a bunch of other shit happening in the background first before it makes sense to end up there, y'know?
Split your story up into chapters/arcs, especially if it's a big 'un! It'll make it easier to plan/manage.
Don't worry about plot holes too much. Planning can help you avoid 'em but meh, you can always figure out a way to explain or cover 'em up later.
General Tumblr advice:
Okay, so first things first (I know, I know.. it's been said a million times and it's bleh but) you've gotta do it for you. Make a story YOU want to tell in YOUR way. Screenies and dialogue, sure! No dialogue? Sure! A few screenies and a bunch of prose underneath, sure! Comic/manga style? SURE! Do whatever you want, it's your hobby. It's SO important that you're enjoying yourself, whatever you decide to do.
DO THE THING! (again ahaa) Try not to hesitate or worry about what people may or may not think. I know it's hard putting your shit out there and you might be insecure, but take the leap! It'll be worth it.
If you want engagement (ew - I hate this word lmaoo but this is social media after all) you've gotta give what you take. Other people enjoy you interacting with their stories and characters just as much as you do.
Notes matter.. we wouldn't be putting our shit out here if they didn't, but try not too get to hung up on them, especially not at first. You might be shouting into the void for a while; it can take time for people to find your stuff (that's where the above comes in ⚆_⚆) Also take quality over quantity, it's always nice to have a few avid readers/commenters/mutuals.. and they will come!
Have fun and be awesome!

that photo you reblogged of wayne, eddie and vega is so funny
do you think when she first started exhibiting her wildness eddie went to wayne and was like ? help ? and wayne was like ! thats what you were like !
so when kensie was little (I know the ask is about vega but I promise it makes sense lol) she’s like extremely emotional all the time. stage five clinger, separation anxiety to the max, and she’s just got a lot of big emotions and big feelings. she cries at everything.
neither one of you really know what to do, but you’re a little bit more understanding. maybe it’s more so because it’s maternal instincts and she’s clinging to you all the time so it’s easier for you to be understanding and soft with her, but eddie starts to get frustrated. he’s a new parent, relatively, and he’s not a perfect parent by any means, and it’s hard being a parent. especially when he can’t understand why she’s crying so much.
wayne’s out visiting, because he always is, and kensie starts crying over something or another, something eddie thinks is just absurd and he kinda gets huffy with her for all of .5 seconds before wayne’s about to slap him upside the head.
he takes kensington, and is really gentle and calm, talks to her sweetly and she calms down. eddie’s like ??? how did you do that. “you gotta listen to her, boy. don’t try to rationalize s’much. listen.”
“but she loses her shit over the smallest things that are no big deal-“
“to you.” wayne narrows his eyes at him. “they’re not a big deal, to you. you know better, understand more because you can. she’s a baby still, ed. she doesn’t understand everything and some things are new and upsetting, and that’s ok. you were the same way… ‘til your daddy got tired of it.”
that sends eddie over the edge and from then on, he tries to listen instead of getting frustrated or rationalizing. wayne’s got this very calm, steady energy (zarah inherited it). like he’s very go with the flow, but also knowledgeable, and he helps eddie a lot as a parent.
from then on, eddie goes to wayne all the time. befkre, he wouldn’t do it as much because he felt like a ‘bad parent’ but really, it was helpful to everyone.
then along came miss vega jo. she’s a whoopsie. wayne’s older and she’s unlike any of the other girls, including the twins. she’s fucking insane. literally unhinged from baby times. you think it’s because of the age gap with her sisters, that she grew up around them, but whatever it is, she’s crazy.
eddie’s like whatever I can handle her, but she’s on another level. like she’s a bad ass kid when she’s little lmao. like very bad and he’s kinda like??? what do I do when she’s this insane??? and she’s sweet, but she’s just high energy all the time… with him lol. she like lives to torment eddie bc she thinks it’s hilarious.
then with you she’s a terror but she’s sweet, and with wayne she’s a different child entirely. calm and sweet and gentle.
eddie really is like how the fuck do you know how to do this?? and wayne is like??? she’s you.
“I was never that bad, wayne, my dad would’ve beat me.”
“boy, you were worse. you used to talk and talk and run and get into anything and everything. you never sat down- you still don’t!”
and eddie’s pouty like it isn’t true but… it is. and really, vega thrives off reaction. so when she does something chaotic and eddie has a naturally dramatic reaction, like he always does, that just fuels her fire. plus, he’s got chaos just radiating off of him naturally.
wayne tells him just to calm down. be calm with her, let yourself be relaxed, and she’ll match that. sure enough, she’s less of a terror when he does. she will talk through the entire movie, but she stays sitting next to eddie, asking a million questions that he answers calmly to keep her attention.
wayne is a wizard with kids and eddie’s thankful for him <3

the stars where we’re livin’
𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘
It took a week for Clay to finally calm down enough to return to their pod
(Clay takes care of Branch AU)
𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘
Chapter 3: Story Time
𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘
Branch squeezes back three times, quietly asking, “Why?”
Shit.
How can Clay actually explain this?
Treat it like a story, a voice that sounds suspiciously like his Ma whispers to him, start from the beginning.
Clay takes a deep breath (four seconds in; Branch, Floyd, Spruce, John) and slowly releases it (three seconds out; Grandma Ro, Baba, Ma), paws moving from Branch’s face to hold his smaller ones.
“Do you remember those stories Gran would tell, about the Perfect Family Harmony and how powerful it is?” Clay asks, giving Branch a soft smile when he nods, “Well, a few months ago, the Guard saw us all singing and messing around and having fun,” He sighs, breathing through the bitter feeling that rises in him, “Apparently they noticed how close we were to achieving Harmony, and they reported it to King Peppy.”
While Branch is clearly confused about where the story’s going, he notices how upset Clay is and lets go of his paws to curl up on his chest, hugging him. Clay wraps his arms around Branch, nuzzling him.
With his baby’s head resting on his shoulder, Clay continues, “King Peppy came to the pod that night and sat us all down to “talk”.” He can’t keep the snarl out of his tone, causing Branch to nuzzle closer which helps calm Clay down, “He told us that we needed to achieve the Perfect Family Harmony, that we were probably the only hope the Trolls had of fighting back against the Bergens.”
“I don’ ‘member this,” Branch mumbles against his shoulder.
Clay squeezes him closer, “You wouldn’t, you were at your friend’s Hatchday party- Ricky, right?” He teases him, silently snickering when Branch lightly smacks his chest.
“Trickee! You know that!” Branch admonishes him.
“Oh, right!” Clay snaps his fingers, grinning at the moment of reprieve, “Mickey!”
Branch sticks his tongue out at Clay, giggling when Clay does the same right back at him.
The lighthearted moment fades with Branch’s smile as he absentmindedly fiddles with Clay’s wristband, “What happened after that?”
“Grandma came home and threw him out the door herself.” Clay proudly says, fondly remembering the night.
Grandma Ro had come home to him and his brothers surrounded by the Head Guard with the King sitting across the table from them as he casually ate their rations. Roro had taken one look at the scene before her face went blank and she stomped straight towards the King, pushing the Guards aside like they were mere Trollings. She had grabbed the King by the roots of his hair and tore him from her chair, dragging him across the pod’s floor, and throwing him so hard out the door that he almost fell off the Tree.
“Awesome.” Branch’s star-struck voice pulls him from the memory and makes Clay chuckle.
“Very awesome.”
The paw fiddling with his wristband stops for a second, “But what about the show?”
Clay sighs, grabbing the still paw in his for a little extra bit of comfort, “The Guard started doing what they do best - talk. They would “subtly” talk while on patrols, always making sure that a Troll was in earshot, about how close BroZone was to achieving the Perfect Family Harmony and how maybe they’ll have a real way to escape.”
“But you didn’t say you would!”
“No, we didn’t.” Clay agrees, “But that didn’t stop random Trolls from coming up to talk at us about the Harmony, about if we could even pull it off, about how long we think it’ll take for us to become “perfect”.”
The first one it happened to was John Dory, and Clay had only witnessed the aftermath. Had only seen his big brother rush into the pod, his breath coming out in short, fast pants, and tears filling his eyes.
“Was that why Johnny wanted everything to be perfect?”
“I think he not only felt pressured to help everyone but…” Clay pauses, a memory floating to the front of his mind.
(“Bubba, you don’ gotta do anythin’ for these Trolls. It’s not your job to save everyone.”
“I know, Ro. But if there’s a chance this can work - a chance my little brothers can live without ever having to worry about Trollstice or a Bergen again - I have to take it.”)
“But what he really wanted, was it to work so we could have a chance at living a semi-normal life outside of the Tree.”
“Is that why everyone left?” Branch’s quiet voice says into Clay’s chest, “Because we weren’t perfect and it didn’t work?”
Isn’t that the question of the hour, Clay furiously thinks.
Clay wants to be bitter and petty, wants to scream that their brothers abandoned them, wants to burn every root that connects him to his brothers.
But he can’t, because this isn’t just about him anymore.
He can’t let his emotions get the best of him and end up making Branch resent their brothers. If his brothers really do never come back, Branch can’t live thinking it was his fault or his brothers didn’t love him because they weren’t perfect.
(And he might understand that JD was trying his best- but that doesn’t erase the years of being the ‘Fun Boy’.
There wasn’t any pressure from Peppy or Trolls to be perfect and escape the Tree before these last few months - yet they were still confined to the roles they played within the band.)
Clay’s breath is shaky as he clutches Branch closer, a rush of cold grief and burning rage going through him, “No, no. It’s more… complicated than just that.”
He repeats his breathing exercise a few times (four in, three out), before asking, “Do you remember why we made our secret signal?” He softly smiles at the confused hum Branch makes at the change in topic.
“Yeah…”
Clay runs his paw through Branch’s hair, “Can you tell me?”
“You weren’t allowed to be sad or mad,” Branch says as he tries to burrow even closer, “Everyone always wants you to be happy and funny.”
“Well, our brothers dealt with similar things.” Clay pauses, feeling the way Branch tenses before quickly relaxing, “But you already knew that, huh?”
Branch hesitates before nodding.
Clay can’t say he’s surprised; Branch has always been more observant and empathetic than a normal Trolling, somehow able to tell when one of his brothers was upset, and always able to cheer them up.
Branch mumbles into Clay’s neck, “Sprucie didn’t like eating all of his food, or going out with fans.”
Clay squeezes his eyes shut for a moment, repeating his breathing exercise (four, three - four, three - four, three - four, three).
When he’s a little more composed, he continues, ignoring the way his words stick to his throat, “So because Spruce is ‘The Heartthrob’, Trolls expected him to act and look a certain way.”
“Look?”
The innocent question almost makes Clay break down crying - no matter how smart Branch is, he’s still just a Trolling.
“I’ll explain when you’re older,” Clay jokes as he ruffles Branch’s hair, ignoring the burning underneath his skin from his need to scream, smiling at the weak growl the action earns, “But a lot of Trolls pressured Spruce about what he ate or how much he exercised.”
Branch pushes himself up, looking the angriest Clay’s ever seen him, “Why would they do that?“
“Because he’s ‘The Heartthrob’.” Clay says. And he’s not saying it to avoid Branch’s question, it is the reason Spruce suffered.
Branch seems to understand that, if the way his eyes go wide and watery and his ears sag down are anything to go by.
Clay runs a knuckle over Branch’s cheek, softly asking, “Do you want to take a break?”
While Clay wants to get this over with, he knows he has to go at Branch’s pace while explaining things.
Branch says nothing, instead he crawls to lean against Clay’s chest with his head resting on his shoulder once again.
Clay wraps his arms back around him, nuzzling him when he nods and gently cooing when he curls in closer, “Let’s do somethin’ else then, ‘kay?”
𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘
Branch can’t help but relax in Gramma’s arms as she cradles him close, both happily sitting on the living room couch.
Clay sits crisscrossed on the floor in front of them, dramatically reading from one of the many storybooks they have. Every character has their own voice, and Clay never misses a chance to act out a scene or wave his arms around.
This had always been one of Branch’s favorite things to do - just spend time with his Gramma and brothers.
He wonders when that changed…
When had cooking with Sprucie turned into him ushering Branch out of the kitchen and telling him to spend time with Gramma?
When had quietly drawing while Johnny worked on songs turned into him telling Branch to hang out with Floyd and shutting the door in his face?
When had listening to Flo playing the guitar turned into him constantly being out of the pod and only talking to Branch when their brothers fought?
When had listening to Clay read stories together as a family turned into the two of them hiding underneath Gramma’s bed because everything became too much?
When had being excited to spend time with his brothers all together turned into Branch quietly biting his paws and waiting for the yelling to start?
Was it because of him?
Clay said it wasn’t his fault their brothers left or that the show went wrong, but maybe Clay just hasn’t realized yet that it was.
Even when his brothers fought, they would perform perfectly - only Branch being there ruined it.
Branch singing with his brothers was what made the Guard notice them, what made the King talk to them, what made the other Trolls bother them, and what made the Perfect Family Harmony appear in their lives.
Clay jumps up to act out another scene, a wide smile on his face but creases around his eyes that he only gets when he’s upset or worried about something.
Gramma clutches him closer, tighter than she would’ve a week ago.
What Branch said to Floyd still feels true to him, he ruined everything.

An audience in the sky. We've done weirder things, to be sure.
Tumblr media
Their feet look like shoes. Are they wearing bodysuits or are they just... like that? Are they statue people? I have so many questions.
Do you want to do the talking, Garl? I might just wind up making offensive inquiries if I do it.
Tumblr media
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN YOUR CHEST
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh shit, that means they can hear me muttering too. >.< "Boy, these weird-ass bodysuit cloud giants and their confusing architectural choices sure are very normal and fine!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There you go, buddy. The Oracles already know it, but we gotta make sure everyone far and wide hears the legends of the greatest Warrior Cook who ever lived. I want people reading your fable and being inspired to master the frying pan long after you're gone.
Tumblr media
...okay, the last time someone singled out one of my friends for an attribute like this, I wound up threatening to drown a fish. I hope we're not about to go down that road again.
Because I'm protective of Serai, but I am very protective of Garl.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is this a big request? Gonna be honest, the answer to that question is no. We have no idea what we're asking. We just know that we need to do it so that I can strangle an asshole with his own tendrils.
Please, wise council, assist me in carrying out retaliatory violence against a godlike entity who was, himself, simply taking fair compensation for the incredible amounts of cheating we were doing!
Tumblr media
Does. Does the goddess Luana not count or something? I'm pretty sure I just vouched for him a moment ago and we're all pretty convinced that I'm Luana. I might even actually be, who knows? So.
Tumblr media
MIC. DROP. That's right, we speak with HIS authority!
Resh'an: She does not speak with my authority.
Garl has a full-ass god squad plus whatever Serai is! Truly, there has never been a mortal being in this or any timeline more blessed than he, so clench up your colossus-holes and sit up straight! You are in the presence of greatness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hold up, what?
Huh. We didn't even know the Vespertine was important. I guess we're just.... very prolific looters....
You got any other trials to obtain shit I've already swiped?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*proudly* We got so pissed off one time that we turned into balls and flew away. We have not been able to do it again, nor do we have any idea how we did it, but we DID and that makes us pretty awesome.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm. Not sure. Why that's an answer to the question but apparently it is. Good job, Serai. Fantastic job of doing whatever it is that you did.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm curious about that myself. Garl, you said you had some idea of a thing you could offer but this was all coming straight out of your visions so... how's this going to work?
And does your Borrowed Time expire once we get the approval, or after we do whatever we have to do to get the approval approval? I need to know if you're going to suddenly drop dead and flip over that railing the second this conversation's done.
(Which, also, by the way: Railings. See, Moraine? Was that so hard?)
Tumblr media
I REGRET EVERYTHING WHY ARE WE DOING THIS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Garl's Elder Mist prophecy did say he would soothe a long-tormented soul. I wrote it off as referring to Malkomud but if it's still in effect, then that's another one he has to complete before he can die.
Tumblr media
Yeah, that one. That's the one.
He also told you to be mindful of your limitations but you still insisted on getting shot for me, you selfless fuck. T-T
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I only about 80% understand what they're talking about (Thanks, Teaks! It was in the Sleeper's fable!) but this is the boldest thing we've ever done. And we've done some bold-ass shit.
I love it. I'm excited to be a part of it. We should probably let the molekin know that we may or may not be about to wreak utter annihilation upon their entire civilization and they do not get a voice in the matter.
