[misty-memories09]

I...I...I can't find the fic I was writing for sabioba, I'll literally start crying bro what is going on nooooo😭😭😭 the heavens and earth is against me like i swear I opened it a while ago wdym that it's gone??? I'll try recovering it or maybe rewriting it but atleast I have a few screenshots of it so it's not completely gone but I am now rather depressed, I feel like writing an opposite of love letter to Google docs. A hate letter. Also, the fanfic writer curse is real (other than what I just said), I got sore thighs and it hurts so bad bro 😭😭😭

Here's some sabioba chibi for the mean time as I try to cope with my failure :

3 prompts a day!

(i wanna readd so tag me when yall use it!)

Them rushing into your arms after their achievement. Tears blur your eyes as you hug them tight as the word erupts into cheer. His heartbeat is louder against your chest, limbs shaking, "I did it, my love. D-did you see?" (play Alchemy by TS!!)

When they're trying to tickle you but you distract them by kissing them instead. And it renders them stuttering for a minute straight before they gently caress your face-- "That is so unfair.." They say tenderly, pressing a soft kiss to your nose. "You had to go be all cute and perfect..." (manifesting!!)

"Even sober, i can't think straight when I'm with you.." They mutter, visibly gulping as their nose brushes yours. "Please, darling.."

This AV Club comment is making me so desperate to write a romcom, you have no idea.

[seabiscuits-us]

I have this idea swimming in my head for an agatha all along au (that I will never write for Reasons) where Nicky parent traps his divorced moms, mostly because I love the concept that Agatha and Rio get divorced but fundamentally cannot get rid of each other.

They’re at every parent teacher conference together. Weekly family dinners because Nicky’s therapist said it would ease the transition. Rio was Agatha’s date to Jenn’s wedding and the three of them shared a hotel room. They still go on family vacations together (stretching the therapist’s advice to its logical outer limits). Nicky is tired of watching them flirt every time they two glasses of wine at dinner. Also hearing them talk about each other (out of nowhere while they’re driving somewhere Rio will be like “you know your mother is the most beautiful woman i’ve ever met” and he’ll be like ok……)

But then something something Agatha starts dating again and Nicky tells Rio and Rio is finally like. Enough of the charade. I Am Going To Win Your Mother Back.

Based on ^^^ that post (kind of)

Dick and Bernard don't get along. Well, they don't hate each other but they're not best friends. They're barely friends at all. Vaguely connected acquaintances through their mutual love for Tim at most. So why is it that Dick exits his bedroom one morning (in his personal apartment!! In Bludhaven!!!) to find out that his little brother's boyfriend has set up camp in his kitchen and seems to be attempting to conduct a coup over the pathetic electrical appliances in his kitchen that he had refused to replace when he first moved in as rebellion against Bruce's need to control every aspect of his life and then had just...not gotten around to doing it because he barely ever had the energy or time to cook for himself anyways.

Dick must've made some noise of surprise because Bernard turns around from where he's currently trying to curl the wire of the toaster into different angles and shapes in hopes that it'll turn on. Bernard nods at him before turning back to his task like this is a regular situation (which it decidedly is not!! Dick thinks with a tinge of hysteria).

"What are you doing in my kitchen?"

"Making breakfast? Or well, lunch technically but they're breakfast foods and also the first meal of the day for both of us. So, brunch? I was gonna make eggs and toast but I don't think I'm going to be able to wrangle your toaster under submission anytime soon so how do you feel about pancakes?" Bernard doesn't even have the decency to turn around as he answers. Or wait for a response clearly, since he's already going through Dick's cupboards for ingredients, abandoning the failed toaster to the side.

"Uh, the flour is behind that box. Yeah, right there. How did you get in here? How did you even know where I live? And again, why are you in my house??" Dick would maybe put up more of a protest usually, but he's had a really bad time for the last couple of...forevers really, so he's decided that his new policy (decided two seconds ago) is to never refuse free pancakes from anyone. And he's not an idiot, he's stolen Tim's leftovers enough times to know that these pancakes are about to be quite possibly the best things to greet his tongue in the last week. So instead of knocking out the blonde in front of him and dumping him on Tim's doorstep, he's deciding to be the bigger person. The more mature person. Who really wants some pancakes.

"Did you know the Riddler really likes pancakes? I found out that one time he'd decided to set up his base of operations in the back of that Waffle House on main street that closed down 2 months after it opened. Probably due to the aforementioned criminal activities actually. I was looking for Condiment King's cousin, you know the one that's been stealing all the dessert sauces in Gotham to feed them to Killer Croc as some sort of weird courting ritual even though everyone knows that Killer Croc only has eyes for Ratman since they cohabitate in the Gotham sewers? I made a video on it and everything for my youtube, complete with powerpoints. That's why there's a city-wide shortage of the good strawberry sauce and I have to travel all the way to Metropolis to get some even though theirs does not taste the same, no matter what Tim says. Don't listen to Tim, he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to dessert sauces. Other than marmalade, he's got a pretty good tongue for that. He's got a good tongue for other things too, but don't tell him I said that, I've been trying to convince him that he needs to practice with it more and I think it's finally starting to work. Or Tim is just humouring my request to kiss him more, I'm not actually sure yet."

Dick blinks as he tries to process everything that he's just heard. He blinks a few more times, just in case that improves his comprehension and then comes to the conclusion that no, whatever Bernard is talking about makes no more sense after sitting with it for a few more seconds and also that he's currently sharing a kitchen with a madman. His brother is /dating/ a madman, oh god.

Bernard has somehow managed to find everything he needs in Dick's kitchen (how? even Dick doesn't know where he'd put the chocolate chips, he'd lost them after hiding them from Damian) . He's also too chipper for...12:30 in the afternoon. Dick needs him to take a step back and give him a few more hours to wake up on his day off, please and thank you.

Dick thinks about addressing Bernard's inane chatter but decides he has bigger things to worry about and instead says, "That answered exactly none of my questions."

He knows for a fact that he checked his locks before going to bed, and his door has Wayne manufactured (and Batman enhanced) protection that should not be able to be broken by a civilian. So if he's got a security issue, he'd like to know about it before the Joker or someone decides that Dick Grayson would make the perfect target for their next scheme.

Bernard sighs and turns to give him a put out look like he's not the one currently standing in the kitchen of someone he barely knows and is being highly inconvenienced by Dick's perfectly valid questions about his safety. Dick simply stares back silently. He does seem to realise that Dick isn't willing to just let this go, so faces the stove before actually answering his questions instead of deflecting.

"Well. If you must know, my darling boyfriend is away on urgent 'Wayne Enterprises business' in Jump City," Bernard makes sure to add the quotation marks with his fingers and turns again, this time looking at Dick dryly as if telling him just exactly what he thinks of that lie. Dick jolts in his chair, eyes widening slightly before he gets his facial features under control, feeling slightly more awake all of a sudden. As far as he knows, Bernard should have no knowledge of the family's... extracurricular activities.

Luckily (or unluckily), he isn't given the chance to respond before Bernard continues, "I heard you had the day off from Duke who was complaining about how you haven't been visiting recently and got bored enough alone that I decided to drop in. I figured your windows are probably less impenetrable than your doors to account for late night visits, similar to Tim, except you also live too high up for anyone to get up without help." (At this, Bernard rolls his eyes). "So I waited until your downstairs neighbours- that lovely couple, Belinda and Mark- left the house for date night before picking the lock for their house instead and climbing up the windows for only one floor instead of five."

What the FUCK. Where did Tim find this guy?? Does Bruce know that his son's boyfriend is a maniac? Dick gapes at the man opposite him, mouth opening and closing like a goldfish. He runs his hand through his hair a few times. At least that answers the question about whether or not Bernard knows about his night time activities (HOW?).

"Okay. Okay. Wow. How do you know my downstairs neighbours?" That's definitely not the biggest concern right now, but Dick honestly and truly has no idea where to even start with the rest of it so this seems like a good point to address.

"I helped Belinda carry her groceries yesterday because Mark was at the vet with the stray cat that they're thinking of adopting because they've been feeding her for a few months."

Something Extraordinary

historical platonic-romcom

an aromantic woman tired of feeling unworthy when the people closest to her leave her behind for romance, and a gay man in unrequited love who is planning on giving up and marrying a woman in misery and drunkenness

she kidnaps him the day before the marriage to stop him ruining his life, suggesting that they get platonically married instead - and on the ridiculous journey to scotland to elope, they have to convince each other if it’s what is best for them, and what they want out of life/love/and friendship

[alaccrity]

zosan modern college au where zoro and nami are best friends and sanji has a HUUUUGE crush on nami. he pursues her relentlessly, but there is one issue: zoro is his competition. after seeing how zoro acts with nami, it's so obvious to sanji that he's trying to get with her. and what's worse is that zoro definitely has the upperhand; he's the best friend, after all. how could sanji compete? still, compete he does because zoro doesnt seem to like sanji either. no, they actually despise each other because they're both rivals over nami's love. or at least, that's what sanji thinks. because when he discovers that zoro is actually gay asf and was only hostile towards sanji out of a fear of his best friend being hurt by a playboy like sanji, their relationship as well as his feelings begin to shift.

so zoro is like sanji's bi awakening sort of? lol. it's supposed to be giving 2000s chick flick 10 things i hate abt you type vibes haha maayyybe i can get around to writing this :)

Don't care if it's toxic, this is the standard

[coaping]

start your simple life

Life gets a little bit to overcomplicated sometimes, remember you’re just human and it doesn’t need to be so complicated

Tips start here:

Drop the people who are cluttering your life

Situationship? Dropped. Toxic friend? Dropped. Person who’s just plain old mean? Dropped!! I know it’s hard, but sometimes splitting up is the only way on the path to growth.

Ditch media habits

Try to eat a meal, go out alone, wait in the doctor’s office, whatever you’d usually use your phone to pass the time, without your phone. Just watch, notice, and observe. It’s a lot more mindful!

Ditch media, TOTAL!

literally so distracting from life, it’s only been summer for a little bit, and I’ve already spent most of it online! Download an app blocker, delete apps, or simply detach yourself from your phone or other devices. Easier said than done, I know. I’m not one to give good advice, since I’m addicted myself, so this one might be better to research on your own!

Try a niche hobby

some examples of niche I want to try are: reading more newspapers, doing the new times puzzles everyday, trying dorodango, watching golf, and spending more mindful time with my pets. Find your strange, random hobby that makes you and your life more interesting!

Romcom/fanfic trope idea

My shower thoughts need to be shared.

Imagine the main character being an unintended Cupid everywhere they go.

The guy the flirted with at the coffee shop? Just invited them the wedding after he married the regular MC talked about and introduced him to.

The gorgeous woman at the gym that shares workout tips with mc and nerds out with? Got swept away by the absolute tank that came to help after mc put on too much weight on the bench and she needed help spotting

Hot guy in same coffee shop that mc was flirting with? Called out name and brought attention to him from his high school crush

This happens all the time and they just roll with it now. They enjoy those moments when they see the happy couples.

One day there’s a new coworker that mopes about not having a s/o and mc just pays them on the back and says something along the lines of-

Don’t worry, we work together on the same shift and I think you’re hot, I give it a week and you’ll meet the love of your life

Mc walks away not realizing the damage they just did because now they can’t stop thinking about the fact that mc thinks they’re hot.

After awhile mc has a mental betting pool to see how long it take for new cw to fall in love and to which of their many potential suitors

Meanwhile the main love interest is busy fighting off a swarm of romcom bait after having no one showing them interest in years. MEAWHILE they would really like to know what about them mc finds hot

had this one dancing around my brain for a minute before deciding i'm probably never writing it so i'm releasing it into the world in case it sparks something in someone lol

bucktommy actor au

evan "buck" buckley is an up-and-coming actor. he's been acting since he was 18 in minor roles in tv shows and movies but finally gets his big break at 26 when he lands a supporting role in a cowboy comedy where he plays a character named "buckaroo" which earns him his nickname. after that he starts getting typecast as eye candy and comic relief even though he knows he can do serious work until he manages to get signed to 118 MGMT and his new agent, bobby nash, lands him a role in a serious queer drama. this is the opportunity buck has been waiting for his entire career

the only problem? his co-star is no other than tommy kinard, famous action hero actor better known for playing a superhero in a blockbuster franchise before he decided to leave the franchise to start making more serious, critically acclaimed movies (and who came out as gay not that long ago, taking the entire industry by surprise); whom buck might or might not have a huge crush on since he first saw him shirtless, all those muscles out in display in all their oiled glory, in some cop action film when he was a teenager

and everything would be okay if tommy was anything like the rumour mill says he is (offhand-ish, kind of an asshole, too self absorbed) but buck quickly finds out during pre-production that he's actually nothing like that. he's sweet, and kind, and a huge dork. he's got a dry, deadpan sense of humour that may come out as overly sarcastic and rude to some but buck understands perfectly. and he's so nice to buck, always checking up on him in between takes for the more emotional scenes and sharing his acting tips with him. when they have to shoot the sex scene tommy has a 30 minute conversation with buck about boundaries and how he doesn't want to do anything that would make buck uncomfortable, how buck feeling safe is tommy's top priority because as an older, more experienced actor this is old news to him but this is buck's first time shooting something like this and he just wants to make it as comfortable as possible for him

so now buck inevitably falls in love in between shooting, hanging out at each others' trailers, and their dinners that initially were to know each other better before the movie started filming and then became a regular occurrence because they like hanging out with each other. and now buck has to figure out a way to not break his own heart when the filming ends because tommy certainly can't feel the same way and he doesn't think he would be able to get over him before the promo and press cycles begin, especially when all everyone talks about is the chemistry between them

(unbeknownst to him, tommy is having a similar internal battle, berating himself for falling in love with his younger co-star who clearly only sees him as a friend and a mentor)

it all gets resolved at the movie premiere when buck confesses his feelings to tommy during a fit of jealousy over tommy's date. tommy kisses him about it for a long time before revealing that his date is actually his very straight best friend and assistant.

windbreaker | togatomi, roommates prompt!

i can’t stop shaking off the thought that they’re a dynamic straight out of a fucking summer romcom movie !! anyways,

a prompt where in togame didn’t know what he’s getting into when tomiyama asked him to be his roommate in college!

well, granted that both of them coincidentally goes to the same college— but they also knew each other enough to share a space. togame thought, but a week later and tomiyama keeps suprising him.

togame thinks that tomiyama always does that, but this is a new level of surprise.

for one, togame did not know tomiyama could cook! he could thank the heavens for the unexpected talent that the beige-haired man has, because he thought that he’d live off of junk food whenever he’s not home if he’s being honest.

and god, does it bring another side tomiyama. togame didn’t know that he has it in him to be calm when cooking. the precision in cutting the ingredients, the happy face he makes that’s synonymous to when he does a great job pummeling the jerks back in shishitoren days. man, tomiyama really is cool.

togame is just happy washing the dishes for the both of them. and even with all that, tomiyama still offers to dry them for him. he could stand by that. just silently doing some menial task with tomiyama after a chaotic, and tiresome day at school.

but of course, that’s not all!

since they both know they would get busy enough, they made it clear to make it a house rule that they must keep the spaces they share tidy. and both of them keeps their promise without any mishaps!

then, togame accidentally got a peek at tomiyama’s room— not that the owner minded; but togame was shocked at the mess inside. he made a mind note to bring it up on dinner, not to shame the guy, but to ask if he’s having a hard time keeping the tidiness in the room.

to which tomiyama would only reply, “nope!” when followed up with another question— he would only answer that the things he would need are on his room, and is fine as it is.

togame didn’t really get it at first, but when studying with tomiyama in his room did he realize what the latter meant. tomiyama’s mess, are the order of things that he’s comfortable with. like when togame was asking him for some tertiary-level general mathematics help in his homework while the former teaches tomiyama english, and wanted to have some scratch paper to work with; tomiyama, without looking up from his english homework points him to a drawer while saying something along the lines of the third envelope or something. and when togame did reach for it, he decided to test some theory.

when he asked for tomiyama’s own books about a subject they share, tomiyama didn’t even bother searching for it with his eyes again. he just said that it’s under his bed. or when asked for some pencils and it was on top of the dresser near his closet, and so on and so forth.

tomiyama doesn’t misplace his stuff back in the shishitoren hideout, he misplaces it when the guys back there tidies it up for him!

in addition to this, god what will togame do with tomiyama’s cute lunch boxes that he packs for him. nope, he doesn’t want to throw it out. never in his life will he do that. he just doesn’t know what to say when his friends from his department who asks if he has a secret girlfriend he’s trying to keep from them.

arima laughs at his predicament over the phone, and when trying to seek out a supposed nicer friend, sakura does the same thing but this time in his face!!!

their words still echoes in his ears to this day, “tell me, did you honestly think that all your heart eyes and admiration for our choji stops at platonic connections?”

he was so stunned that after a while, arima ends the call as he sends a text that he’ll wait for an answer from togame.

sakura sends the same thing to him, though not as flustered as he was in his first year— but was still quite flushed in the face, “you wouldn’t have so much hard time denying a “secret girlfriend” if you didn’t want tomiyama to be your boyfriend, don’t you think?”

after a month of living with tomiyama, togame finds that he was actually smitten with his best friend, their general, his other half.

god, the boys back in their territory would have a field day with this.

——— meanwhile in tomiyama’s side:

“ne, ne, kotoha-chan, kame-chan really liked the stew! he even asked if we could have it for lunch at school! do you think he’d realize what i want to convey??”

“choji, for the love of whatever god you worship, it’s 10 o’clock in the evening and i am exhausted. aren’t you also?” kotoha groggily responded.

“but kotoha-chan, you’re the only one who wasn’t busy! ume-chan is out on a date with tsubaki-chan, and i can’t tell him about togame until tomorrow!”

kotoha just wants the endless pining to fucking end. then her nights would go through without any cut offs fROM LOVESICK MEN WHO WANTED TO RANT ABOUT THEIR LOVE LIFE GODDAMNIT-

or college roommates togame and tomiyama realize how much they grew as they spend their time together. and time solidifies their feelings for each other. domesticity ensues!
