#that's going to be super cool and not confusing

[gooseraider]

hey! i saw that ur requests are open! 🌱 so i thought i’d drop something here if u’re interested.

so maybe something sweet with loser!ellie on the first date with reader and it’s just so sweet - maybe ellie’s trying to impress reader but she already really likes ellie? 🪽

write it if you want to - no pressure ☀️

love, hallow 🦋

first dates & fun facts

a/n: i’ve never been on a date so i don’t know the first thing about first dates, anyways hope you enjoy!🪿

you’re applying the finishing touches to your look, making sure the curls in your hair looked perfect. you receive a text from ellie saying she’s outside your house.

hurrying to finish getting ready, you hear a knock on your front door and after dousing yourself in perfume, you run down the stairs and open the door.

“hi.” you say, slightly winded from running to the door.

“hey, i- uh.. i got you these.” ellie says, pushing a bouquet of pink daisies towards you.

“sorry if you don’t like them, i was running late and couldn’t decide which flowers you’d like the best so i just got those because they’re pink and you said your favorite color was pink and-“

you cut off her rambling with a kiss to her cheek, “i love the flowers ellie, thank you.”

“okay cool cool, im glad you like them.”

ellie stands awkwardly in your doorway, fiddling with the loose threads on her sweater. “you ready to get going?” you ask.

“yeah, let’s go.”

ellie leads you to her car and opens the passenger door for you.

”thank you.”

“yeah no problem.”

you can tell ellie is super nervous, deciding to ask her some questions to ease the mood.

“so where are we going? you never told me.”

“oh shit, sorry, we’re going to the boardwalk. figured you’d like it y’know, there’s beaches and rides and stuff.” she says, playing around with the radio trying to get it to the right station.

“that sounds fun.”

“you sure? cause if you don’t want to we can totally like go somewhere else, i don’t mind honestly.”

“i’m sure, i love the beach and rides and stuff, especially if im going with you.”

ellie’s face turns completely red, she doesn’t speak for the rest of the way there, to flustered to form a coherent sentence.

you guys arrive at the boardwalk, ellie comes over to your side and opens the door for you. “thank you.” you say.

ellie reaches for your hand, her own hand trembling as she does. you take her hand immediately noticing how shaky she is. “hey you okay there?”

“yeah, sorry uh.. i’m just not used to going on dates y’know, especially with someone as pretty as you.”

you blush, “if it makes you feel better this is my first date as well.” you admit.

“really? no way, how?” ellie says clearly confused by your confession.

you shrug, “i don’t know, i guess i just haven’t found someone i’d want to go on a date with.”

“oh.. well i’m glad i get to take you on your first date.”

“and i’m glad you’re taking me on my first date ellie.”

you two walk along the boardwalk for a while, talking and getting to know eachother. you just found out about ellie’s hamster named saturn, and her cat named slushy.

“aww they’re so cute.” you say as you look at the photo of her cat and hamster next to each-other.

“you should come over and meet them sometime.”

“really?”

“yeah, they love meeting new people, especially slushy, she always coughs up new hairballs for guests.” ellie says while laughing.

“well now i have to meet them.”

“next date i’ll take you to see them.”

“next date? that fond of me already williams?”

“what can i say, you’re easy to fond over- wait no that makes no sense sorry i don’t know what im saying anymore.” she says, looking down trying to hide her face that’s now beet red.

“it’s okay i get what you’re trying to say, and if it helps, i’m fonding over you too.” you say, shooting her a wink.

you spot an ice cream shop ahead, “ooo look let’s go get ice cream.” you say, pulling ellie with you in the direction of the ice cream shop.

yall successfully get your ice cream and now you two are sat on a bench that overlooks the ocean. “how many sharks do you think live on the ocean?” you ask ellie

“well, we don’t know exactly how many sharks are in the ocean but it’s estimated that over a billion sharks live in the ocean.”

“woah that’s a lot.”

“yeah, there’s over 500 different species of sharks, with great white sharks being the deadliest species.”

“how do you know so much about sharks?”

“i don’t know, i guess they’re like super cool so i just research things about them.”

“okay little miss shark genius, tell me more information about sharks.” you declare, turning to face ellie.

“well uh… sharks have a sixth sense. they have an organ called ampullae of something… uh i forgot… but anyways they use it to sense electrical stimuli and hunt animals hidden under the sand in stuff.”

“wow i didn’t know that.”

“not a lot of people do, sharks are one of the most misunderstood sea creatures. everyone thinks they’re like some evil blood thirsty creature but in reality they’re just a protective species.”

you stare at her in awe, finding her random shark facts really interesting. “so… did i impress you with my shark facts or did i just ruin the date and you think im weird and you never wanna see me again.” ellie says, scratching her neck nervously.

“you did actually, now i get to say i went on a date with a pretty girl and i learned something new about sharks.” you say, taking another bite of your ice cream.

ellie continues to stare at you, you suddenly worried you said the wrong thing, “why are you looking at me like that? did i do something wrong?”

“no, shit- sorry, you just have ice cream on your face.”

“oh.” you try wiping it off, only to miss. ellie reaches over and swipes the ice cream off your lip.

you two are now realizing how close you actually are, you notice how both of your knees are touching, how you have a clear view of ellie’s eyes, and how you can feel her breath on your face. you see her glance at your lips then back to your eyes, you decide it’s now or never and you lean in, connecting your lips with hers.

the kiss is short but sweet, “sorry, i didn’t mean to do that you probably didn’t want to-“

you’re cut off by ellie leaning back in and kissing you again, this time her hand comes up to hold your face. tasting the mint flavor on her lips, you pull away.

“i’ve been wanting to do that all night.” you admit.

“took you long enough.” ellie teases.

“oh hush, we both know you wouldn’t have the balls to kiss me first.” you giggle.

the ride back to your house is much more comfortable, music playing softly in the background. ellie’s hand is resting in yours the whole way back to your house.

when you arrive at your house, ellie gets out and walks you to your front door. “i had fun tonight, thanks for going out with me.”

“i had fun as well, and thank you for teaching me random facts about sharks.”

neither of you wanting the night to end, you both settle on one last kiss to end the night.

“i really did have fun tonight, thank you.” you say, pulling away from the kiss and pulling ellie into a hug.

“same time next week?” ellie jokes.

“i’d love to.”

“wait, actually? i didn’t think you’d want to go on another date.”

“you’ve got to be kidding, i just kissed you three times tonight and you think i don’t want to see you again?”

“well not when you you say it like that.”

you roll your eyes, pulling ellie closer, “goodnight ellie, get home safe.”

“goodnight.” she says kissing the top of your head, heading back to her car.

you two wave goodbye to each-other as one last goodbye.

“god, what is this girl doing to me.” ellie says, laying her head down on the steering wheel.

A Whole New Meaning

Pairing: Non-enhanced Bob x Reader

Summary: After a long day at the art studio, Bob returns home to find a surprise from his wife.

Author’s Note: This has been rolling around in my head for days. In this world, Bob is a regular guy with similar traumas to Thunderbolts, but no super serum. Also, Bob is a bit of a dippy himbo in this, but we love him for it. This will definitely have some follow-ups, but if you have something you'd like me to cover, leave me an ask! 

Warnings: Bob being a himbo for a second, COVID mention, fingering, cunnilingus, unprotected p in v.

Word Count: 1664

—--

The inky black and blue of the night sky washed over the neighborhood as Bob parked the car in the driveway, stars guiding him home. Moonlight bathed the front door in a hazy sheen, welcoming him back after a long day. Although his head was buzzing with all the things he needed to do tomorrow, he took a deep breath and grabbed the door knob, the touch of cool metal bringing his head back to where he needed and wanted it to be.

On you. The scent of citrus on your skin. The sound of your laughter when he cracked a joke. The soft give of your body underneath his touch. 

As he stepped inside the house, the thick, warm scent of Indian spices hit his nostrils, and the chill of the night slipped away. He inhaled the scent, smiling. Before he could close the door, you ran up to him and wrapped your arms around him like you hadn’t seen him in weeks.

“H-Hey,” he laughed, groaning when you pulled him in for a kiss that grounded him back in reality and what really mattered. “What was that for?”

“I missed you,” you replied, kissing the corner of his mouth as he smiled. Your kisses tasted like sunshine. 

Bob chuckled and leaned down to kiss you again, his index finger resting underneath your chin. “You saw me this morning.”

For a moment, the two of you got lost in each other, hands roaming over each other’s bodies like you were discovering something new, something pure. “Still,” you replied. “I always miss you when you’re gone. Doesn’t matter for how long.” He felt so lucky. 

Bob stepped back and drank you in. You were wearing his favorite dress on you and he hadn’t even noticed until now. “What’s this for?” He laughed, grabbing you and pulling you close again, fluid, like a dance. He nuzzled his head into your neck, lips ghosting over the curve of your shoulder. “The dress? Dinner?”

“That’s not all,” you said, smiling as you clutched both his hands and brought him into the kitchen. “I took off today so I could do this for you.”

Glancing around, Bob drank in the picture before him. You’d set the table with your wedding china and lit candles, soft and flickering in the dim light of the room. On the stove was his favorite meal, the first meal you’d ever made him, and in the refrigerator was the cake he’d obsessed over since he found it at a local bakery a few years ago. “Why’d you do all this?”

“Because I love you, silly.”

You’d been married for two years at this point, but he never tired of hearing you say you loved him. Never tired of the warmth that flooded through him. 

Sighing happily, Bob hugged you and placed a kiss on your forehead, hands curling into the back of your hair. “I love you, too. So damn much it hurts sometimes.” He combed his hands through your hair and sank into another searing kiss that had you both wondering whether or not to postpone dinner.

You pulled away, grazing your teeth over his bottom lip. You could stay like this forever, just vacillating back and forth in his arms. Forever wouldn’t be enough. “I’ve got one more surprise for you,” you whispered. “It’s on the bathroom counter.”

His eyebrows knit in confusion, but he began walking toward the bathroom, his hand slipping from yours.

From across the house, you heard him call out. “Are these COVID tests?” He asked, shocked. “Babe, you know I have to go to work tomorrow. Why would you kiss me?”

When he returned from the bathroom, he was met with you in a fit of giggles. 

“These are positive. Are you feeling okay?” He quickly stepped toward you and put the back of his hand on your head. “You’re not warm or anything. Why are you laughing?” He chuckled, confused as hell. 

“Look at the tests again, baby,” you breathed. Your smile fell as he took a second look at the tests in his hand. “I don’t have COVID.”

For a few moments, he stared at the tests before it finally clicked, his mouth dropping open and eyes wide with awe and maybe a little bit of panic.  “You’re pregnant?”

“Yes,” you laughed, gathering your hands to your face.

Bob punched the air with both fists. “You’re pregnant?! I’m gonna be a dad! Seriously?”

You lost yourself in a fit of laughter as Bob ran around the living room. He was bursting with too much energy and nowhere to put it. He essentially had the zoomies. “You’re gonna be a dad,” you replied, holding out your hand to him. “The best dad.”

He dropped to his knees in front of you and placed his hand on your stomach. “And you’re gonna be the mom,” he said, reverence filling his voice. You were his everything before. But now? Everything took on a whole new meaning. Resting his head against you, he continued, “You’re going to be the best mom in the world.”

When you tipped his head up to meet your gaze, he had tears in his eyes. “I’m so fucking happy,” he cried.

Standing up, he cradled you in his arms, peppering your face with kisses like his life depended on it. “I love you,” he breathed, his hands roaming down your sides and coming to rest on your hips. The hips that would help cradle his baby. 

Then a smirk bloomed on his face. “You think maybe we can put dinner off for a little bit?” He asked with a shy smile, his fingers slipping over the soft fabric of your dress.

You gave him a quick peck on the lips before running to the kitchen to turn off the stove. Bob cackled as you ran back and jumped into his arms, wrapping your legs around his waist. He carried you down the familiar hallway to your bedroom and plopped you on the comforter. “I can’t believe we’re gonna have a baby,” he said softly, pressing a kiss to your clothed stomach. 

Bob reached down to your ankle, his fingers grazing over the cool expanse of your skin like it was the first time he’d ever touched you. As he hit the hem of your dress, his breath hitched, his skin heating to the point of it being unberable. He rucked your dress up and saw you wet for him already, your panties damp with the evidence of your arousal.

As he kneeled on the floor in front of the bed, he wrapped his arms around your thighs and pulled you close, reveling in the small, almost silent moan that fell from your lips.

You whispered into the room, so full of memories and life. “Bob, please.”

That was all he needed to hear. With two fingers, he pulled your panties down and around your ankles before taking them off completely and throwing them behind him. “I’ve got you, baby.” He licked at your pussy from back to front, groaning so hard at your tensing body that you felt it in your chest. “You taste so good.” 

“Need you,” you said, practically choking on your words. “Please.”

Bob’s fingers fluttered at your entrance, ghosting over you like smoke on the wind, barely touching you. “What do you need, baby? Talk to me.”

“Your mouth, your fingers. Need all of you.” Your entire body thrummed with need, your skin prickling under the heat of his touch.

As he sunk two fingers into your core, you groaned, arching up into the impossibly damp air of your bedroom. His touch was like fire. Slowly, he moved his fingers in and out, pulling moans from you before he brought his mouth to your clit. “You look so beautiful when you’re needy,” he laughed, the feeling rolling through you. “Sound like heaven.”

His tongue rolled over your clit in waves. Each swipe over your aching core coaxed him forward, like a man starved. “Come for me, honey,” he said, his fingers sliding over that sweet spot inside you. With a few quick taps of his fingers, you came with a cry into his waiting mouth. You were always beautiful, but now, pregnant with his baby and coming under his touch, he couldn’t handle it. “Need to fuck you, baby,” he breathed. 

When he stood, Bob slipped your silk dress over your head and threw it to the side before quickly removing his own clothes. He slipped inside you like it was where he was meant to be, groaning at the feel of your walls clenching around him. “Fffuck. Baby, you feel so good.”

You wrapped your legs around his waist and pulled him in close, reaching up to bring him down on top of you. You needed to feel the weight of him as he fucked into you. Whining, you scratched your fingers down his back. He pumped into you harder and placed his hand on your lower stomach. “Can you feel me, baby? How hard and desperate I am for you?”

“Y-y-yes,” you moaned, struggling to get your words out. “Don’t stop, p-please!”

Bob licked and kissed at your neck, lips roaming over soft skin. A coil tightened in your stomach, your release just on the horizon. “Gonna come, baby. Come with me.”

Grunting and rutting into you, he reached between your bodies and tapped at your clit, watching as your mouth dropped open and a cry left your lips. Watching you come undone beneath him put him over the edge. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.”

As you both came down, breaths steadying into normalcy, Bob pulled himself from you and came to rest with his head on your stomach. “Hi, baby,” he whispered, kissing your stomach. 

Smiling, you snaked your hand through his hair. “Do you want a boy or a girl?”

“Either. Both. Doesn’t matter.” He kept caressing your stomach. “Just can’t wait to watch this all unfold.”

True colors

Jinu x male reader

⚠️ warnings: none,

Fluff

A/n : this is my first time writing so don't expect much </3

You were walking through an alleyway unaware you were being followed, suddenly out of nowhere a man was infront of you. You looked at him confused, then noticed some weird markings on his arms. "Hey, you have a cool costume on.. but it's not halloween?" You said looking more at him.

Jinu looked confused, did you not know what he was? He sweared you were a hunter of some type. "Uh.. yeah this is a costume." He said nervously, he didn't really want to eat your soul because you seemed... cute.. and innocent. His eyes seemed to flash a slight red hue, mixing with the golden color.

You noticed the way he was looking at you, prompting you to cover up your arms. "O-oh! I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare!" Jinu stuttered out looking away embarrassed. Seeing how cute he looked you blushed, a pink hue dusting your cheeks. "Y/n.." you said, reaching out your hand to the taller/shorter male. "Jinu." He said, grabbing your hand to shake.

"Wait.. Jinu!?!? The leader of the Saja boys!?" You practically screamed, prompting him to cover your mouth with his hand. "Mmph!!!" "Hey, quiet down I don't want anyone to see me here.." he said whispering. You almost fainted at the feeling of his.. long... veiny... hands... (guys don't judge </3) touching your lips.

Jinu caught on to this, and smirked a little bit. "So you like my hands.. huh?" Jinu said smuggly, you blushed so hard that you looked like a red tomato. He took his hands off laughing "it's just a joke!" He said rolling his eyes. However he wished that instead of his hands touching your lips, it was his lips..

"Well! I gotta go, you know I'm uh.. busy!" Jinu said handing you a little piece of paper, you took it confused. When you opened it, it was his phone number and a small note saying 'call me'. When you looked back up, he was gone. Mentally screaming in your head, you ran home super excited. You didn't know it yet, but now you were Jinu's..

Should I make this a series guys?

[quietplace26]

Ok ok hear me out please-

Furina!MC who knows nothing about Genshin Impact and is just super confused of why she looks different and some rando on a mirror is telling her to act as a god??

However she accepts on the condition she doesn't interfere on any decision Furina!MC makes. When the Melusines appear she's taken aback by them but she thinks they're cute! Those are her daughters now. (Mf really stole Neuvillette's daughters 😭🙏). And since the Melusines have her favor Carole doesn't have to sacrifice herself. And she also unknowingly stops the Fontanian's traumas (Wriothesley, Navia, etc...)

Oh, and when Neuvillette step into the picture? Comedy of the century. (Furina!MC literally asked him if they were siblings since they look similar 💀)

Furina!MC also doesn't feel alone, since she does have friends and her daughters, but she's super bored. Like, the only thing that isn't boring for her are the trials, and that's why she looks foward to them. She also is super dedicated to the prophecy to the point she has met with the Dendro Archon to ask for help. (The Fontanians are immensely greatful for her transparency on the topic and how much she's dedicated to look for a solution).

Mb for the wall of text I just thought it was a cool idea TwT

Anyway sending all the love 🤍🤍

Ok. This. Is adorable! 🥰

I never really considered the idea of her not not knowing about Genshin, but it makes things more interesting!

Like this sweet, innocent summer child Furina!MC just goes with the flow-

"Ok. I have a new body? I'm a goddess now? I have to take care of a whole nation of people? ...Let's do this."

The Focalors in this au just sitting back and letting Furina!MC take the reins is a nice touch as well. I can this Focalors popping into her head every now and then whenever Furina!MC has a question.

The Focalors of this au is just charmed by her 'human' side. She's so cute and determined-

And the Melusines! The idea of Furina!MC finding them first and yoinking them to be her own daughters is just precious!

Bet she even gushes about her new 'babies' to every single human within the Court of Fontaine, and the humans take a page of their Archon's book, and go with the flow as well.

Dark abyss creatures? Oh no, those are just the Melusines! The Hydro Archon's adorable daughters! So for the love of Egeria, don't touch a hair on their heads-

Now the Neuvillette thing. About Furina!MC asking if they were siblings. I honestly see Focalors maybe giggling, possibly even snorting within the Oratrice when she hears Furina!MC's innocent question.

Her laughter only grows when she sees the Hydro Sovereign's baffled expression.

It only gets funnier when the Melusines ask similar questions. "Are you Mama's brother? Are you our uncle-"

Thankfully things are cleared up, but it still remains a fond and funny memory for both Furina!MC and Neuvillette to look back on years later.

Now on to the topic of the prophecy. Yeah, this Furina!MC, without the fear of 'canon events' going through her head or a Focalors telling her what to do, definitely goes ham on trying to find a way to destroy it.

Sumeru was actually one of the first places she went... Before being forced out by the sages since they were trying to keep the Dendro Archon out of power.

Despite wanting to help Nahida, despite never even meeting her, Furina!MC reluctantly left Sumeru on the treat that Sumeru might take her demands about the Archon as a threat of war...

Besides that, she turned her attention to Liyue, Mondstadt, Inazuma. She did attempt Snezhnaya, but she and the Tsaritsa's views on certain things, particularly Furina!MC's opinion on how she handled her Fatui organization... Well, let's just say they're not exactly friends.

Natlan was still mostly closed off, so that was also out the picture.

But even when nothing bore fruit, Furina!MC kept trying. Trying. And trying.

She will save Fontaine, or so help her-

oh! and also, which members in enhypen is which glee character? curious on your take😅

LOLLLL anon how did u know im such a gleek...this is so funny pls. idk if any of these make sense but i just did whatever character first popped up in my head for each member...

jungwon is soooo blaine anderson coded. i feel like blaine is one of the very few normal ppl on that show that isn't like....batshit crazy LOLL and just super lovable and shows great leadership and is SUPER TALENTED of course but also funny silly & goofy in his own way. he's always the moderator and calming other people down and is always there for others during the show–all of which our jungwonie definitely is for the rest of the group

heeseung is finn hudson. tall. athletic. a little (a lot) confused some (most) of the time. face of the group in a way. you know how there's that inside joke that heeseung went on i-land to find his missing members? it's kinda like how finn lowkey brought together the band of what the new directions were. if it wasn't for him, many of the other members wouldn't have joined. loser in a hot body that doesn't know what to do with it half of the time!

jay is rachel berry. HAHAHAH this is probably the funniest. they're both just super ambitious and like how enhypen is always entertained by jay, the new directions are always entertained by rachel (whether that be from her insane dramatic flairs or from her singing). plus they both can hit insanely high high notes . need i say more .

JAKE IS SO SAM EVANS I CAN"T STRESS ANYTHING MORE!!! like are you kidding me??? they're both the most golden retriever ppl to ever walk this earth. they're just so precious and pure and innocent and also will say dumb things every now and then but it charms everyone anyways. they both definitely throw up awkward thumbs-ups or peace signs in photos. just super sweet to everyone they come across, but yet manage to be super hot at the same time LOL

sunghoon is quinn fabray. now hear me out. you know how everyone thinks sunghoon looks 'cold' at first glance? but deep down he's literally just an extroverted introvert and is literally so super uber soft and chaotic??? that's quinn fabray. she comes out as cold and 'perfect' and just 'pretty' but DEEP DOWN . she has a good heart and is super soft and looks out/cares for others more than she makes it out to be. but they both still manage to look perfect & pretty while doing so of course hehe. also they're both just super insane like sunghoon being a national ice skater???? quinn going to yale???? yeah. insane.

sunoo is so tina cohen-chang. HERE ME OUT. fashion icons. can pull off the emo look (tina season 1) and the preppy look too (tina season 5). always positive, cheers others up, good friends with everyone but also has the funniest facial reactions and side eyes when they judge others LOLLLL

ni-ki is santana lopez. LOLLL OK THIS ONE MIGHT BE A STRETCH BUT you know how riki tries so hard to be nonchalant and cool kid vibes but we all deep down hes a huge softie and crackhead??? SO IS SANTANA !! santana keeps up the cool girl facade (and well, is straight up mean sometimes but we ignore that) and is a baddie but deep down has a good heart and cares deeply for everyone and is very sentimental <3

awkward way to have a convo but okay

[plain inks below cut]

[aran-morinorea]

Happy December yall! I bestow upon you all that remains to be posted of A Major Diplomatic Incident (part 1). It's going to take some revision, so I'm not posting it to ao3 yet, but this gets us to where I'm leaving off. The other chapter is the actual reason Elrond came to visit: post-Worst Road Trip, they invite him over to see Maglor. If he's going to be niceys about it. Both to Maglor and to Annatar.

…It was Tar-Glóriel who found Maglor in the first place. If it turns out he's literally Sauron, Elrond is going to blackmail Celebrimbor into letting him take Maglor to Lindon after all. At least for a year or two at a time.

This decided, Elrond ends the awkward pause with, “I suppose so. Mostly I'm just confused.”

“Tell me about it,” says Tar-Glóriel, tipping back over to put his head in Celebrimbor’s lap.

Elrond finds, despite himself, that he is smiling. His evil cousin-in-law, who feels about Celebrimbor the way he feels about Gil-Galad, thinks of him as a Maia. Not a half-Elvish Man or a half-Mannish Elf; not half-anything at all. What else would you be? 

And Elrond’s voice reminds him of… what might honestly be one of the worst days of his infinitely long life. He can’t imagine it was fun in itself, but given what it led to, Morgoth must have been very upset. Thinking about it, he says, “That must not help with the urge to murder me.”

“It really doesn’t!” Tar-Glóriel complains, making the shadows dance, “But I'm being nice about it, because I am capable of self-control.”

Celebrimbor laughs and puts his hand in Tar-Glóriel’s hair, saying, “And I appreciate it, love, thank you for not attacking my friend.”

“Yes, I am the embodiment of kindness and grace, you know,” says Tar-Glóriel, sparkling again; Elrond is beginning to think that’s what he does when he’s teasing. If “teasing” is a thing that a being who could plausibly be literal actual Sauron can be said to do. 

…If Elrond treats him like an enemy now - after being allowed to see him being so affectionate, so intimate, without further provocation - well, then he’s going to feel like the asshole in the situation. He might never stop expecting the further provocation to come, but he can’t act on that expectation, because he’s positioned himself as a - an amiable distant relation. Not even that distant, depending on how he’s counting! It’s possible he’d be in the wrong to start a fight even if he gets definite confirmation of Tar-Glóriel’s identity.

What in all the Iron Hells has Elrond gotten himself into?

[midnight-mourning]

Gonna be fr with you chat, work/research this week kind of one-hit killed me, and we still have a LOT to do next week to get ready for the semester/start of the study (and I have a good bit of work to do for my thesis) I also have to finish moving & unpacking my apartment and do the final for my summer class

Tl, DR; If I get a chapter out next week it'll be at the end of the week and no sooner than that

Very much appreciate the paitence and support, hopefully we'll get back on schedule soon <3

[nefretemerson]

ive got summer employees which is really nice because that means I'm not working sixty-seventy hours a week but that Does mean that it's a bunch of teenagers and Youths™️ who are new to all of this. so like. either I've got to be down there with them, or I've got to be surgically attached to my phone at all times so they can call me whenever they have problems. idk. I've had eight phone calls and eleven texts since 11 am. it's not even 3. answering the phone in the shower. waking up ten minutes into a nap to answer the phone. always on that damn phone.

(zookeeper au) eiden: hey yakumo why do you always use the stall

rei: damn can't imagine asking someone why they pee the way they do. why do you show your dick to pee. imagine being so overconfident in your ability to piss you just stand and make a mess on the floor for a janitor to clean up (THIS DIVERSION WAS MADE BY 1/3 OF THE CLOACA CREW)

TSJFSFK THAT WAS MY INMMEDAITE THOUGHT -->defensive rei (bc i instinctively project my personal reaction as the first rxn)

if eiden's all "why are you shy yakumo? u can pee right next to me 🥰" *pats urinal next to him* i can imagine rei walking into the room with 1 of 3 reactions:

Fight Mode: "imagine asking someone what they do in the toilet. i could report u for sexual harassment" <- he would not, bc rei ain't a snitch, but i can imagine rei sassing eiden bc he feels like it

Apathy Mode: "i use the stall too. it's nbd. this is unimportant." (continues with his life, uncaring)

Generous Mode: "you're curious? come in here and i'll show u"
