[dontcallmebree]

Hi Bri! I hope you're doing well today (almost Friday, yay!)

Can I ask questions 38 and 79 for the fanfic asks? 💖💖💖

Hi tej! It's been an okay day so far <333

38. how many stories do you work on at one time?

I always try to focus on one but end up jumping between a few works. Right now I'd say I'm working on two and that goes for most of the time I think!

79. are you an over-writer, under-writer, or just-right-er?

Hahhaha this question really tickled me. I think over-writer? If that means I have tons of run on sentences and stuff. Editing usually means carving out something decent from an overlong, over-something draft.

let's exchange fic writing asks!

[makebelieveyouregoodenough]

hello! how've you been, I hope you're doing great 🤍

anyway I heard you take reqs (so sorry if I'm wrong!) but I wanted to request a svt one with lee dk and ler joshua, where they both go live together and dk jokingly calls joshua a monster and shua just goes "yeah right a tickle monster" or something

thank you for reading! no pressure to do this legit 🤍

I’m good. Thanks for asking 🥰

This is such a cute plot I love this so much!

I know this is kinda short but I don’t know Seventeen that well😔

Lee! DK, Ler! Shua

————————————————————

The boys had a day off and DK was planning on going live. He just wanted to do it with someone. After thinking for a couple minutes, he came to the conclusion that Joshua would be the perfect person to do it with.

“Hyung, can you go live with me?”, DK asked Shua

“I’m kinda busy right now”, was the only response he got.

DK could see that all Shua was doing was looking at his phone.

“Busy huh?”, DK thought out loud

“What if I did this?”He asked his hyung as he climbed onto the bed where Shua was lying and pinched his sides with one hand, while digging his finger’s into Josh’s armpit with the other.

“Stohohop okahahay I’ll go live with yohou.”

————————————————————————-

They decided to go live in DK’s room. Shortly after they got to his room, they started the live.

“Hey guys!” They both said, excited to see their fans again.

“Have you eaten today?”, one fan asked

DK answered it by saying, “yes we’ve eaten lunch.”

After they answered a few more questions, DK wanted to tease his hyung. He was trying to come up with a way to do so while not being rude. He noticed how cute his hyung was being and wanted to tease him.

“Hyung’s a monster RAWR”, he said as he curled his fingers into a claw shape. (I’m sorry if that’s confusing.)

“Yeah, I’m a monster. A tickle monster!” Shua exclaimed while wiggling his fingers.

“Whahait dohont tickle mehe”, DK tried saying, but it was too late. Shua was already on top of him and was holding down both his wrists above his head with one hand while wiggling the the other hand above his tummy.”

“No pleaHEASE HYUNG DONT AAAHAHAHAHAHAH”, he screamed mid sentence when Josh scribbled his tummy.

Joshua would have normally stopped there, especially because they were on live, but DK had tickled him earlier so he felt he had every right to keep going.

“Nohoho pleahease”

“But DK, I’m just confirming what you said earlier. I’m a tickle monster after all.”

“NOHOHO I DIDNT MEHEAN IHIT HAHAA HA HA”

Shua changed to spidering up his abs and ribs getting the best reaction.

“Aww, look how red your face is. You seem to be enjoying this.” Shua teased

“NAHAHA IM NOHOT HAHHAHA”

“Should I count your ribs?” Joshua asked innocently

“NOHOHO PLEAHEASE DONT”

“Okay I’ll take that as a yes”

“1… 2”

“THIHIS IS SOHO BAHAHAD HAHAHA”

“3… 4”

DK suddenly couldn’t take it anymore and struggled to get out of the grip of his hyung who was still holding his wrists. He managed to break free and laid on his bed laughing.

“ Yohou are the worhorst hahaha”

“You were the one who called me monster to begin with”, Shua teased while poking his side.

They returned to answering questions and saw comments saying how weird they were. They didn’t mind though. They both had fun anyway.

[asirensrage]

I have a list for the fanfic writer ask...brace yourself. lol

3, 6, 13, 29, 38, and 42 for either Serendipity or Study in Intimacy or This Means War?

obviously you don't have to answer all of these, i just like to pick your brain. ;)

Hahhaha. Okay. Let's go. I'll start with the generic ones? And I'll put this under a readmore...

58. what is the last thing that a fic made you google when you were writing it?

Oh god. Honestly? Probably the meaning of a word. I always want to make sure it means what I think it means. The last thing I googled for a fic was "80s punk style" so...

62. what’s the weirdest reason you’ve ever shipped something?

Hmmm...I have no idea. I usually ship something because I can see the chemistry (or possibility of chemistry) or the chaos lol.

73. how do you visualize scenes? do you see it like a movie in your head, or do the words just flow?

Sometimes I can picture it, but usually it's like listening to an audio. Like when I imagine the scenes and how they play out, I imagine the dialogue more than I picture it. Then I have to write the scene and that's part of why I suck at descriptions lol.

76. what is one essential thing to remember when writing a villain?

Motive. What do they want and how far are they willing to go to get it?

now for the fic ones:

3. on a scale of 1-10 how much do you enjoy incorporating romance into the average story?

Maybe a 7? It depends on the pairing and reason for romance. It's a 7 is Serendipity because it's a slow burn (and I love writing those). It's an 8 in Intimacy because them getting together this time is going to change everything. Also, I love the wait and possibilities for them. It's an 8 in TMW too because those three are chaotic dumbasses sometimes but the sass is strong.

6. do you have any kind of consistent writing schedule or just hoping for the best?

Hahahha. You of all people know that my writing schedule is like the wind. It goes where it wants. I try to make sure I have something to post once a week. It may not be what people want but...I find I'm more inspired when people engage with a fic. (but also keeping myself from wandering to new ideas is hard). I'm super ahead in TMW though so woo!

13. talk about a writing experience that has pleasantly surprised you.

I think writing Serendipity surprised me. Mainly because of how much I enjoy it. Toni is such a different character to some of my others and it's not really demanding like the others either. (some characters *cough*ericandbilly*cough* refuse to let go sometimes)

29. give us a spoiler for one of your stories.

Kate gets put on Fisk's radar before Fisk is aware of Daredevil and her connection to Matt. Fisk also reaches out to her first before the others. (it's someone's fault but it's not Matt's this time)

38. how many stories do you work on at one time?

Too many. No, seriously, I have too many. If we're including oneshots and short series and whatnot. It's too many. I can't stop though. My mind just keeps going. Why must I work when there's fic to write? (just look at the fact that you gave me 3 main stories as options and that's not even all my main stories)

42. describe the aesthetic of a story in 5 words.

Oh god. I am not good at being concise.

Serendipity: baking. softness. blood. home. warmth. This Means War: bed. cooking. swans. holding hands. ...also blood. Intimacy: books. grease. kitten. cooking. technology.

Thanks for asking! ;)

[earthtooz]

[peachjaem00]

Finally having the time to listen to Golden age and here are my thoughts.

Baggy jeans: is sexy as fuck!! the og unit really put their whole ass pussies to make this song and they did it for me and me only!!! jaehyun's low ass voice AAAAAAAAAAA i am very unwell. ten's vocals are top tier, my man didn't come to play, he meant serious bussiness in that recording booth.

Call D: is cute and fun, i liked it and idk if taeyong sings in this, but if he did damn he slayed.

PADO: is my favorite so far, it's so good!! the chorus is amazing and haechan's vocals are just top tier in this. like i was bopping my head and all, hands were doing the approval dance and shit. the beat goes HARD bro!!! i loved it soso much.

Interlude: oasis: nct never, NEVER, dissapoints with the interludes, like no one does interludes like them, they own the concept. no one could never bro, they wished they could but they can't!!! nct is the only group allowed to make interludes.

The BAT: i am so so scared of the mv because i know i will literally die. this is officially the sexy song of the album and it tingles the right parts of my brain, like it is melting my brain but at the same time it's the only thing that it's keeping it together, if that made sense. putting jeno, johnny, yuta, jungwoo, jisung, taeil and hendery was the most genius idea anyone could've come up with and i will forever be thankful.

Alley oop: it's good i guess. it's giving old school vibes, idk if that's accurate but those are the vibes i'm getting. the vocals are good, the rap is good. jisung is slaying hard, like they need to make him sing more because he has an angelic voice. in all honesty this is a very mid song lmaooo, not bad, but not great. like it's okay hahaha.

That's not fair: YES MARK YES!!!! i liked the intro a lot. it's good, it's chill but cool at the same time. mark is slaying very hard like that's so hot of him.

Kangaroo: this could've been a great song for shotaro, i miss him so bad in nct but oh well, fuck you sm. JISUNG YES YES YES!!!! MY MAN RENJUN SLAYING HARD AS WELL!! this is so cute bro i am living! this is my only source of happiness like this song is the only thing keeping me alive right about now. now they made this song for me and for me only, no one is allowed to enjoy this song the same way i do. pleaseeeeeeee you have no idea how happy i am right now hahhaha.

Not your fault: the ballad, we needed a ballad. i love nct's ballads, like they always break my heart. getting a lot of singing in the rain plus from home vibes, i may be way off but it's okay to be wrong sometimes. the vocals are so soothing like i feel like a baby being lullabied by their mom.

Golden age: holy shit am i going to cry? OH THESE VOCALS DAMN! okay never mind lmaoooo. the extreme change was wild bro like ??? the smooth ahaaa and then intense rap lmaooo, it's good though. nice chorus, i like it. vocals are on fucking point i love this so much!!! missing shotaro and sungchan hard right now tho, i hope they're well... YES HAECHAN YESSSSS!!!! i bet there is an amazing dance break in the choreo but i havent watched any of the mvs because i'm scared lmaoo. YES TAEIL MY MAN!!!!!!

[chelleztjs18]

Hello you medium rare steak eating lefty eyebag 😅 I don't know what about Thanksgiving meals make me sleepy, but I slept way too early.

Yes, everything turned out okay haha I should've made my own gravy cause the gravy packet that came with the turkey breast was disgusting. Did you have any desserts?

I like the eggs over medium with the steak. So I can dip the steak in the yolk. I thought I was weird for not liking steak sauce on my steak, I just never like that taste of A1 sauce.

You gonna send me a care package with chocolate? Hahaha just kidding. I like milk chocolate the most. I don't think I've had white chocolate before though. How about you? What's your favorite candy? Do you like candy or chocolates more?

I love that show. I got sad when it was over. Which one are you though, Claire, Jay or Mitch? Or all three combined? My favorite character would be Gloria and Phil. Hahaha the partners of your favorites! My least favorite..would be Manny.

I put my little tree up with no ornaments because of the cats..that will be my only decoration oh and a stocking! Maybe I will get a wreath to hang on the door so at least it'll look a little festive.

I'm going to change the questions up a bit. You ready?

Would you rather go back in time or go to the future?

-CuriousGeorge

Hello! Good morning! Hahhaha i have a new n longer nickname! Yaay! 😆

It's okay, i figured u fell asleep.. actually yesterday i saw an article about why u r sleepy after thanksgiving meal. I didnt read it because i was sleepy 🤣

Oh noo.. not the gravy! Im sorry.. that sucks.. maybe u can make some today for ur leftover.. i love gravy. It's one of my favorite.hahha. no we didnt have desert. We had some oreos though.haha.

Oh yeah, steak and egg is so good.. fun fact, when i eat over easy eggs, i like to cut everything around carefully n try not to break the yolk n keep it a perfect circle. Then i carefully scoop it with my spoon n then just slurp all the yolk. But it i have it with rice, i like to break it n mix it with rice. Haha. I know i sound weird. 😅 i hope my daughter doest follow my weirdness. 😆

But eating the steak with the yolk sound really good though. I might try it someday.. what do u think about cheese on steak? I saw bunch of videos of it, i personally think that i just dont get it why people would ruin a perfectly cut n cooked steak n put hot melted cheese on it.. i meant i dont hate cheese. I like cheese but to put hot melted cheese on to a good steak is a bit much.😆

N yeah i said big NO to any steak sauce especiallt A1. Not just it ruin the steak flavor but also the sauce is too sour or tangy to me. I love put sauteed mushroom on my steak 🤤 mushroom is my third favorite to eat, after tofu.. u like tofu?

Ah i see. I think some milk chocolate are yummy. But my favorite is dark chocolate. The darker the better because i like tye semi sweet taste with a little bitterness. I dont like anything too sweet. Thats why i dont like white chocolate. I curse it 😅🤣 my sister love white chocolate n i just can never understand but to each of their own,u know. I like up to 70-80% cocoa dark chocolate. I love it when it's paired or have liquor in it or some orange in it. I like chocolate more than candy 😁

Yeah me too, i was sad too n almost cried on the last episode. I kinda see mix of three prichettes in me but i think i am mostly similar to Claire. I admit I sometimes tense, or try to doneverything perfectly, sometimes im too serious n want everything to work how it supposed to or how i plan it even sometimes i can be spontaneous. I am like Claire n Mitchel when it's about parenting. My husband is like Phil. So yeah, i think i can see my life from Claire with kids when my daughter reach that age 🤣 u can see who is the fun parent. 🤣

I know u say u probably wouldnt want to have kids someday (if im not wrong) but do u see ur self will be like phil n gloria if u have kids? My least favorite favorite is Dylan. Gosh im not happy when i see Hailey end up with him. Do u have any favorite episode?

Aaw yeah i understand,, i used to have a roommate who has 2 cats, so when i put up christmas tree, it was pretty hard n whn i have the tree, mostly she kept her cats in the room until the tree is down. 😅 i love real christmas tree. I love the smell of it. I also love put up a real pine tree wreath.

Hmm i think i would rather to go to the future so i can see which mistake that i would make n probably try to fix it. 😁 what about u?

Next question?

Cheerio!

Clothing

Summary: just you wearing your boyfriend's clothing :3

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Characters: Diluc, Childe, Ayato, and Zhongli

Genre: fluff!

Warnings: none

(A/N: completely self-indulgent from myself, that's why this idea came out, ehe~ also first time writing Ayato, hope i did it well :D)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Diluc:

Let's be real, that black jacket is his favorite

Not only him, but you also loved it

Given the fact that it's not to heavy yet it still feels warm to wear

I know Diluc has a lot of set of clothing, but he just love wearing this one

Today though.. he can't find where it is

He asked the maids where was it and they said that it was already washed and was already in his closet

He gave up after that, thinking maybe he was looking at the wrong place

Since he's rushed and needs to work in the tavern, he just wear a black button-up shirt and a white outer (y'know, this one-)

Diluc then left and walk to the tavern

Nothing special happening in the tavern, just people ordered some drinks and have talk then proceed to get drunk

He was just wiping the wine glass when you came to the tavern

You walked in and sit on the bar chair in front of him, "ah, finished with your work already, dear?" he looked at you and you nodded

Diluc was about to turned around when he looked at something you were wearing

It was so similar to the one that he usually wear..

"uh.. y/n" tilting his head, you looked up at him, "is that my jacket..?"

You giggled and nodded, "it's fluffy, okay? i wanna wear it.." you said using an innocent tone

He swear that his heart almost burst out how cute you are wearing it

like miss- may I just hold you all day and night cause you look UNBELIEVABLY smol-

You saw him smiling and blush at the look of you, guess you have the permission to use it when ever you want

"Seems you look good in it than myself.. haha, you can use it anytime you want then, but be sure to tell me first.. maybe I would've ran with it-''

Childe:

ngehehehe-

You would love to steal his clothing and wear it to anywhere you want

Work? Meeting? or just have a walk? you would wear his clothes no doubt

It's just so comfy and warm, especially when he's out on a mission

You would wear it because you missed him so much :(

So yeah everywhere you go, you just wear it, yes it's big but you loved it

When he came back tho.. ehe..

Face would fill with confusion when he opened the closet

Childe didn't remember that he bring that many clothes with him but almost half of it is gone..

He checked his suitcase, it's only about eighth of what he had

Then he checked the laundry, it was filled with his clothes..

"Babeee.." he called you, a few minutes later you came, "yeah?"

His eyes is still locked to the basket and he didn't realized that you're wearing one of his

"..say.. since when I used that many clothes..?'' he aksed, you just hold your smile, "hum? you were the one who bring them, sugar..'' you answered

Getting more confused, Childe turned around finally facing you, "that's weird-'' that's when he understands what happened

"hah.. so the criminal behind this was here all along..~" he said playfully

You giggled and almost ran from him, but he already captured you

"ah ah~ you ain't going anywhere, girlie~" he picked you up and lie you on the couch

"Since you wear it without my permission.. tickle attack!!" he then tickles you as a punishment

"hahaha, I'm sorry- hahhaha!!" you laughed

Well, at the end he just let it slide and let you wear it, you look good with it either way

"What should I do now, hm? I guess now I have to baught some extra clothes for myself since you loved mine.. I don't mind it, you look cute in it either way.."

Kamisato Ayato:

I know his clothing look really long, but I literally would wear it-

It looks fun? cool? elegant? yes

He probably had a lot of different colours and models, would also use it depending on his mood that day

The fabric is soft and smooth, it's also surprisingly very comfortable to wear on a daily basis

Well, there's no doubt that Ayato can just sleep with that on if he's too tired to change-

When both of you are out and it's suddenly windy, he would give you the outer part which is the jacket on you

You swear that thing is actually so warm yet light??

You loved it so much, sometimes you forgot to give it back to him lmao

"Haha, darling.. my jacket is still on you", Ayato then gently takes it off you, you just pout

Since this is Ayato we're talking about, he would tease you and pretends to not know :(

"Darling, I'll be back soon, don't worry too much~", he smiles innocently, urgh.. that tone of his..

You just nodded, still pouty.. kisses his cheeks and wave a goodbye

Too cute he thought, Ayato is just having fun after that and went inside his office

Maybe he'll borrow you some of his clothes and tease you a bit

After all, he also wants everyone to know who you belong to~

"Hmm, it looks cute on you, darling. Maybe I should let you have a few of my clothes. Sure you don't want it~? It's comfy like me, y'know~ haha~"

Zhongli:

Zhongli has SO many layers on his body-

Doesn't it feel hot? Especially in Liyue Harbor..

Anyways back to the topic, it looks heavy not gonna lie

It's not light and breathable like Childe's or soft and flowy like Ayato's

It's also really big, it would just cover your body from top to bottom like a blanket would

Almost like Diluc's but this is thick thick, I like to imagine that the dark brown-black colour part of his clothes are like really firm fur (see how it rhymes-)

You liked it since it feels like it's protecting you :3

Maybe you can fly with it-

On some days when you feel really like you missed him too much

You would wear it, either the button ups or the outer

It smells like him too, it soothes the feel of you missing him :)

At the end, you just wear it around the house

Zhongli tends to find you wearing it when you're sleeping

He thought it's cute, your body just cased by his own clothing

"Hmm, is it warm, dearest?" he sat beside you and you nodded, leaning your body towards him

He adores how cute and beautiful you are in his clothes, Zhongli just stayed there, holding you and smiled to himself

You never failed to make him blush

Maybe he would try to wear some of your oversized clothes because some of them are his sized.. :D

"Seems you like wearing them rather than wearing your own.. You can wear it for as long as you like. I still have more that I can wear, it's all yours, dearest"

》 Strangers Masterlist

Akaashi could feel his heart beating loudly against his chest as he sat on the train going to Miyagi. He fiddled with his thumb, desperately trying to keep his compsure calm to mask his true emotions.

As he thought of all the scenarios that can possibly occur, he balled his fists and let a few tears fall.

"You promised me, Kou."

You don't knkw what to say, or act infront of your supposed soumate. He shouldn't even be here in the first place, but that's the least of your concerns right now; What you're worried about is how serious he look and told you he needs to talk to you.

Hinata eyed you worriedly as he attemps to make an excuse for you to get out of the situation you're in. "Er... Bokuto-san, she isn't feeling well-"

Next thing you knew you were being checked over by the said boy. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, putting his palm against your forehead.

You shyly stepped away and moved his hand away from your forehead. "I'm fine, Bokuto-san. Don't worry about me." Bokuto felt shivers down his spine as your hand touched his for a brief moment. It all felt familiar to him as he used to feel those things with akaashi, but he realized one thing.

This feeling he felt, is much stronger than what he shared with Keiji.

"Of course I'll worry about you! You're my soulmate.." He whispered, noticing the small wince you did as he uttered those words making his heart break.

"We.. aren't soulmates anymore Bokuto-san.." You said slowly, not failing to notice the worried looks tjrown at your way by your friends. "You should get home, it's getting pretty late." Bokuto sighed, "Can I atleast walk you to your house? I need to tell you something too." He pleaded, as much as you don't want to you couldn't.

The fact that he travelled all the way here makes it hard to turn him down. You figured that it's the least you could do. "Sure, my home isn't that far from here."

"I'm... sorry for rejecting the bond like that."

Bokuto's voice rang in your ears as you stared at the ceiling above you. You tried to not think about the whole ordeal that happened but faiiling miserably; mind still swimming with thoughts that is slowly drowning you.

Out of nowhere, your phone started to ring with the special ringtone you've set for a certain Nekoma captain. You scrambled to grab it from your desk and answered with a small smile on your face.

"Missed me, kitten?" He teased, making you roll your eyes and click your tounge.

"Cut your crap, Tetsuroo."

"Oya? What happened to being polite to your senior?"

"I am being polite, Kuroo-san."

You heard him snort as you tried to hide your giggles, you could picture him having a small playful smirk on his face as he twirls a pen in his hand, answering a chemistry assignment or stuff like that.

"Kitten?"

You hummed, propping your feet against the wall. "I told you to stop calling me that, it's embarassing."

"What's wrong?"

A sudden silence enveloped the entire room as you stopped, not knowing how to respond. "Well..." Kuroo hummed, encouraging you to continue. It's still a mystery for you on how he manages to sense your emotion.

"Bokuto went here."

That alone made kuroo drop his pen and focus all his attention to you. "What happened? Are you okay? Did he want anything from you?" He asked, worry evident in his voice.

"He said he's sorry and that he's going to fix this.." You mumbled, voice dying down. Kuroo sighed, anger and jealousy rolling of him in waves. "Then..? What did you say?" He asked, waiting for your repsonse anxiously.

"I said that there's nothig to fix. He kept telling me that when we first met." You mumbled, looking at the gray mark on your wrist.

Noticing something out of ordinary, you sat upright and looked at the mark with confusion. "What the..." you mumbled. Tracing the dissappearing lines with a light finger.

"Are you okay?" Kuroo's voice oulled you away from your thoughts as you reassured him you're fine. "It's just... is it normal for the mark to be fading? All I know is that it just turns gray.."

"Hm? My mark is starting to fade too." Kuroo replied, staring at his wrist. The name of his supposed to be lover slowly dissappearing.

He exactly knows what's going on, but he decides to keep it to himself, for now.

"Why are our marks fading?" You asked, clearly confuzed and scared. He shrugged, even though you can't see it. "I don't know. I haven't seen anyone with their marks fading. Just keep calm hm? We'll be alright. It's late, you need your beauty sleep. Just call whenever you want okay? Goodnight kitten, sweet dreams."

"Goodnight too, you sly cat." You mumbled before ending the call.

Talking to Kuroo felt like a breath of fresh air. Even if you try to deny it, when you hear him call you that stupid nickname you can feel butterlies in your stomach making you feel flustered and weird. He eases all your worries away with just uttering a few simple words of affirmation.

The longer you think about it, realization dawned in you.

Kuroo's starting to feel like home.

Since you stepped foot in Belvoire, you weren’t exactly welcomed with open arms and given time to get to know the social scene on your own. Rather, you were verbally harassed by two fake-blonde bitches, saved by your roommate, and hooked-up with your professor.

To say it was a wild 48 hours would be an understatement.

Then you and Zoey strongarmed your way into the Alpha’s party and were having a good time, getting to flirt with big hunky idiots, expanding your social circle, and of course, pissing Queen Foot-Up-Her-Ass, Poppy Min-Sinclair. You’d gone in knowing that full well, with more excitement than you were willing to admit.

Then you saw her; dark hair with grey highlights and the most attractive face you’d ever seen on Belvoire. And that was truly saying something knowing full well that everyone manicured themselves to an incredible degree. But there was something that you couldn’t put your finger on when it came to this Goddess.

Your eyes glued to the rather distracted face when you hear Poppy and her lapdog snicker softly at the expression on your face. "What is it Newbee? Cat got your tongue?" The blonde stepped in front of Veronica, making a point to strut closer to you in a futile attempt to intimidate you.

The faux-blonde continued to spit empty threats, making you begin to feel bored and rolling your eyes. Without a second thought, you shove Poppy into the green goo in the pool. You smiled victoriously at the ear curling scream that fell from her lips, catching Veronica's eye before you jumped in with the heiress.

Boldly, you snuck beside the petulant Poppy and took a selfie with her anger-ridden face. Another squeal and she was outside the pool stomping away with Chloe hot on her heels.

You snickered and pulled yourself out of the pool to see the boots of none other than Veronica Lombardi, the third most popular girl on campus and one of the most followed influencers in the US alone. It was hard to be on social media and not know about the influencer. It helped that she was also your arch-enemy’s third in command. To say she had your interest was an understatement.

You offered her a charming smile as she handed you one of the many towels that was offered to the guests who chose to brave the Jell-O pool. As you opened your mouth to introduce yourself, the influencer looked back down to her phone and slowly followed Poppy and Chloe.

You quirked a brow at the dismissive behavior but was quickly tugged back into the moment with Zoey praising you. However, your interest was piqued.

A couple weeks pass since the Alpha's party and a lots happened. From charming each of Poppy's posse to convert to team Bea to sleeping with the monster herself. But you still couldn't stop thinking about Veronica Lombardi. The intensity in those brown eyes, the way her dyed hair flowed effortlessly in the wind, and those lips...holy shit those lips—

"Earth to Bea! Has all the Hog Calling finally make you deaf?" Zoey asked rhetorically, waving her hand in front of you. Like I said, you were a little pre-occupied. You smiled and brushed off her concern, continuing your hunt for the perfect outfit to wear to Kingsley's gala later that night.

As you mindlessly move the hangers on the rack, you finally ask, "Zo, what do you know about Veronica?" You'd made a point not to look at your roommate, knowing full well her attention was completely on you now.

"Is that what's been eating at you?" She asked amused. "Does the Influencer to the Stars have your attention now?" Zoey was now behind you, teasing you incessantly with little squeals and giggles. You rolled your eyes and laughed heartily.

"Well, I can't tell you what you don't already know about her...but maybe you should ask her yourself." Subtly, Zoey pointed outside to said Influencer walking around outside, going from window to window of the strip while she was very clearly livestreaming. You looked back at her with a guilty look to which she shook her head laughing, "Go, get your girl."

You grinned like a kid on Christmas, placing a light kiss on Zoey's cheek, "You're a babe, Zoey Wade!" You called before dashing out of the store, following Veronica out into the street, not noticing the sad and dismissive smile on your best friend's face.

Once you were out, you looked around the street in attempts to catch up to the famous student. Then you spot her outside one of the trendier looking stores, likely showing off her lavish lifestyle to her followers while talking about Poppy and one of her many, many meltdowns.

You grinned and popped up in frame, waving enthusiastically at the camera. For a moment, Veronica is stunned and almost looked panicked at your sudden intrusion but of course, her face brightened again.

Soon, you were under her arm like she were showing you off as her friend or maybe even her girlfriend. You shook off the thought and focused on what Veronica was saying.

"Well look what the hogs dragged in, Veronicats! It's Belvoire's Wannabe, Bea Hughes!" You quirked a brow with an unamused smile. She snickered softly to herself seeing the expression strewn on your face. "Check this out, Bea!"

With one tap, you both have pig ears and snouts as the audio from the video Poppy posted plays. You resist the urge to roll your eyes with eyes on you both. You flash a perfect smile her way, regret forming in the pit of your stomach that you chose to chase after Veronica than staying in with your friend. "It's so amazing. You're so funny, Vi!"

She smiled proudly before bidding her followers farewell. You'd decided that this little adventure was in vein and you'd merely gawk at the influencer from a distance rather than try to get to know her. Yet at the same time, you were rather comfortable under her arm, the fabric of her sweater adding an extra layer of warmth

Before you could really sink into the lingering feeling, Veronica pulled her arm back making sure her phone was securely in her pocket. Her face now a neutral expression with a hint of curiosity, "Now, what the hell do you want?"

Ouch.

You fumble with your thoughts for a minute, trying to work out a plausible reason to following her. Suddenly, an idea popped into your head

"Color me curious about you Vi..." You circled her with a small grin. Your hand trailing her body as you walked around her, settling on her rather firm bicep. For the first time, you see a genuine smile on her face. "But I have to admit, I like what I see."

She rolled her eyes before leaning in dangerously close to your face, a teasing smirk on her lips. "You know, we shouldn't even really be talking. Poppy might be a bitch, but I don't really feel like having my life ruined any time soon."

You giggled softly nodding in agreement. "In all honesty, neither did I."

"Yet she's made you public enemy number one." She deadpanned with a quirked brow. She pulled her phone out of her pocket, checking the time. "So is that it?" Veronica asked expectantly, "I'm supposed to film a PR thing. I've yet to get ready for it."

Your mouth fell open and brows jumped up in surprise, "This isn't ready? But you're hot." You blurted out suddenly, your cheeks warming to a temperature you could only describe as boiling. You silently prayed the ground would swallow you whole now. The influencer bit back a grin, but made sure to stare at you with the same eyes that drew you in in the first place.

"Well, Hughes, how about you give me your number and we can set up a rendezvous. Just us." Her voice was low with an undertone of sin, a chill ran up your spine as you bit your lip staring up at the tall figure before you. Cautiously, Veronica looked around before smoothly handing you her phone. You rolled your eyes once again, swiftly typing in your number and your name with a kiss mark.

She shook her head, still finding the whole exchange to be rather fun for her, it was rare that she got this excited about anything that she couldn't buy.

"Don't keep me waiting, Vi..." You whispered before placing a light kiss over her cheek. Strutting away, making sure you left emphasis on your hips leaving Veronica to stare at you, want filling her body. How the hell was she going to film for a shitty ad now.

A few days roll by and you and Veronica have copious amounts of sex in your suite. Whenever she stopped by, you only came out to pee or have the occasional snack and water break. Then weeks pass and she becomes part of your inner posse. In Poppy or Chloe's Instagram photos she was looking down at her phone grinning from ear to ear when she would usually be soaking in the exposure.

But in all honesty, in spite of Veronica and you spending an unspeakable amount of time with her, you still didn't really know much about her. She was nothing but a blank canvas to you. An attractive, incredibly sexy, blank canvas.

"Poppy is a fucking tyrant." You huffed out as you and Veronica took a stroll down the city streets after one of the many parties she was invited to that she took you to. The influencer laughed and flipped her hair back, "Yeah, being queen would do that to you."

You looked over at her and you pulled out your phone from your purse, "With Vivi Lombardi tonight, isn't she just gorgeous?" She looked over at you with a charming smile, sending kisses to the camera. To your surprise though as you were about to retake the video because the lighting wasn't flattering, she took the device from your hand. Taking yours into hers.

"No cameras right now, Bea. I want it to just be us right now..." Your eyes went wide but still, you nodded with a dopey look on your face before leaning into her further.

The walk was quiet, not that you minded, it was a nice break from all the craziness that you had to deal with in Belvoire. And it didn't hurt that holding your hand, occasionally looking at you with something you could only describe as adoration.

On your walk, you see an open Amphora where Poppy's face is plastered all over the store. You scowl and Veronica rolls her eyes as you stare at the storefront. "Ughh, can't there be a night where I don't have to see her smiling down at me."

"She never smiles Bea...Nor does she look down." You laughed uncontrollably, looping your arms around hers. Veronica grinned before looking back at the displays. "I can't believe her parents were able to pay the company to take her. Not that she didn't regret it right after."

You looked up at her curiously to which she cocked her head to the side, "Her face looked like a pepperoni pizza right after the shoot. She took weeks off from school and ordered Taylor around to do her bidding. More so than usual." As you and Veronica stood in front of the store, you couldn't help but feel a festering frustration.

"Poppy will always get what she wants, won't she?" You said almost hopelessly. You weren't one to back down from a fight but you also couldn't deny how tired you were from all this drama. Veronica looked down at you with so much sympathy in her eyes, so much that if anyone who knew her personally saw her, they'd be worried she was having a stroke of some kind.

Without a second thought, she tugged you into the store. Weaving past all of the staff until you were in the Read My Lips section of the store. "What exactly are we doing here, Veronica?"

The influencer let go of your hand for a moment, raising her arms up. "I think we could both use this moment to get back at Poppy for all her bullshit." You raised a curious brow, waiting for more details. "And maybe we could use all of this bio-hazardous excuse for beauty products to good use."

Your eyes lit up before Veronica handed you one of the many display lipsticks, dramatically bowing in front of Poppy's poster. You bit your lower lip excitedly as you began smearing the testers onto the poster. You let your imagination run wild, big poofy and exaggerated lips, her pristine hair having little excess strands that stood up, and runny mascara.

Veronica also got in on the fun, smearing the foundation all over the blonde's grinning face and even drawing a mini-Chloe beside her with dog ears. You were both cackling by the time you'd finished your individual masterpieces.

"Now that is a work of art, Hughes." Veronica said pointing to your vandalism with a stereotypical snooty rich voice. "The way the color blends with the surroundings really distracts you from the Poppy obvious zit on her chin." You doubled over in laughter, only holding onto the influencer's arm for support.

When the laughter slowly died down, you wrapped your arms around Veronica's neck as she cradled your waist between her hands. Both of you swaying to the non-existent melody in the air. "Thanks for this V, I think I really needed to vandalize Poppy's stupid face."

"I'd do pretty much anything for you, Bea..." She whispered, only for you to hear. As if she was worried it'd jeopordize her entire image. Nonetheless, you smiled at her words before you leaned up close, her lips a mere breath away.

Before you could put her out of her misery though, a shrill voice called, "Hey! What the hell are you two doing?"

Both your eyes went wide before you both ran past the clerk, hands intertwined with one another as you dashed into a park under the shades of the trees. Laughter filling the air as you both ran, until you were both out of breath.

"I think we lost them..." You muttered, leaning against a tree for support. In spite of you still heaving, you couldn't stop yourself from bursting into more fits of laughter with Veronica doing falling into the same hole.

For a moment, there's a lull, and you feel Veronica staring at you. Before you can ask her anything, her lips are on yours as she presses you harder into the tree behind you both. The kiss is soft yet full of so much passion, and you can taste her cherry flavoured gloss.

She pulls away and no words are spoken, it's just you both smiling under the night sky as your breathes mingled with one another. Letting the insanity of Poppy's reign fade far, far away.

"I want you to be my girlfriend."

"Of course you do."

honestly the beauty of Veronica having little to no personality in game makes it easier to write her as the secret romantic of the group. and i like to think of that narrative as true. an actual bad bitch who you could be in an all-time power couple with. poppy is great, dont get me wrong. the enemies to lovers storyline will feed my bisexual soul for years to come. but vivi lombardi being in a public and yet vv private relationship with the mc makes me so soft. kanye could never HAHAHAHAH for legal reasons that is a joke. but i do apologize if my veronica stans thought she was a little OP, i will do better next time but i do like how this came out ngl HAHAHAH i love my softie baby lombardi. anyway, i hope you all enjoyed this my lovelies without stripping too much from why you loved Veronica in the first place. keep safe and i'll see you all vv soon!! i love you, my lovelies 💓 - r

Warnings : self harm, mental abuse, physical abuse, crying, screaming, abandoning, depression, blood and angst and angst, not proofread.

Overview : Angst.

When your boyfriend, langa, left for japan, you knew you'd be lonely. They were your only family, you had no one except them, his father's death had hit you so hard you could kill yourself but you had to stay strong for langa. Living alone with no one by your side soon became a routine, the routine you had before you met langa, his family, they loved you.

Your father was straight up a drunkard and your mother, let's just say she opened legs for other men more than she opened her arms for you to hug or if she ever did.

You couldn't leave to stay with langa and his family, when your parents fought, resulting with you lying in your room after being hit by them, they needed to let their anger out and who was the best to blame except you? You were the reason they were both like this, they had said, hitting you over and over untill they calmed themselves down.

Your friends were worried for you, not only had langa left but also you were covered in new bruises and injuries almost every other day, barely eating or talking.

Langa called daily at first but soon his calls lied from once a week to once a month before you could comprehend anything that was happening. He would tell you everything about japan, his new friend reki, how he met so many people who skated so amazingly it was enchanting. Maybe the network wasn't so good on his side, that must be the reason he couldn't see your eyes hanging dull, your body looked like nothing but bones and skin, all the bruises, the injuries must be not so visible with a poor network.

He loved you afterall, he'd worry too much either way so it's okay. "Oh God reki is so awesome, you know y/n" and the rest you never heard your ears ringing in pain, as much as you wanted to listen to him, it hurt. The way he ignored all your well being and focused on some strangers he had met just a few months ago. it hurt so much but you couldn't speak it out, so you chose to end the call abruptly.

Sobbing into your knees, you sat on the bed feeling ever so lonely, you were starting to question everything and anything. Why were you even alive at this point, if only you died somehow. Soon it became a routine, crying till you passed out for an hour or so then getting up to go to school.

Your social media had died down to nothing, your life had died down to nothing. You were so tired of everything at this point, a murdered would stab you with a knife and you'd thank him for it. Soon langa's facetimes turned into voicecalls after your abrupt ending of the call.

You'd still receive calls from his mother but you barely picked them anymore, to say she was worried was an understatement. But langa was so busy, so happy with his life she couldn't get to tell him how worried she was for you.

you had started deeming yourself unworthy of living, of being with anyone, the mental and physical abuse from your parents only worsening to the point you couldn't breathe straight. You had switched to self harm as a coping method sooner than you had thought.

Not long before suicidal thoughts picked at your brain all the time, you were starting to fail classes, anyone could see how miserable you were, but no one ever cared enough to talk to you, or so you said, pushing everyone out.

It's been weeks since you last talked to langa, since you last went to school, choosing to burry yourself in your room instead. You parents were happier than ever, there abuse starting to get negligible, they weren't even near you anymore. your mother being pregnant with another child from your father. They were ecstatic, but you were not a part of it, the celebration stayed between them and their friends, tho your parents had started treating you better.

You found yourself falling deeper the more you struggled, your mental health declining to the point you were starting to loose all hopes in yourself. Your hate for others soon turned to hate for yourself and your self harm increased, many times your father would see your lying in you bedroom with bloody wrists, they were all worried for you, they stated, "go to therapy, y/n. We don't want to loose you" your mother sobbed to which you stayed there not moving. She hugged you, cried till you nodded your head. But therapy brought no good, just dragging you further down.

Langa had started getting worried sick and so was his mother, he had ranted about everything to his friends, whatever your friends told him. He wanted to talk to you even if once more, but you were fixed on isolating yourself more and more.

It was not long before you called langa, "I'm sorry, i was busy" you said, your voice was nothing more than emotionless and he begged you to tell him what was wrong but you stayed silent, his worry soon ending up with him screaming for you but you never answered. Not before he heard a loud crack and your parents screaming your name.

Langa stood frozen as he heard your parents cry and scream for you to wake up. He just wanted to pretend you were okay and alive. He was sitting in joe's restaurant, silently sipping the juice he was given as reki and shadow tried to distract him, suddenly his phone rang cutting off the awkward silence, and his mother told him to stay wherever he was and that she was coming to pick him up.

He just wanted to pretend you were okay, but it all came shattering down as his mother banged the door open, her face stained with tears as she fell on her knees sobbing and crying about how you had hanged yourself the day you called him, everyone remained silent, langa only sitting there not moving a muscle, oh God he wished he had stayed with you just a bit longer, called you a bit often, asked you if you were okay, he was selfish so selfish, if only he had noticed everything before maybe just maybe you would be talking to him rn.

Reki and shadow tried to comfort his mother who was now sobbing on the ground while langa just sat there frozen. He never thought a little lack of his concern could drive you to killing yourself. He wanted to blame someone and as much as he hated it he was the only right choice he found. Langa's phone pinged, a message from your mother's number. A page, stained with blood and tears, coming in his sight.

He saw your beautiful handwriting turn into nothing but a mess,

"I'm sorry, i love you i swear i do. But it was so hard living like this langa, there was no one, no one. I was so lonely so lonely, i thought cutting myself would do me any good, but it only drove me into more hunger for blood, and soon i wanted more than the stinging pain against my skin. I wanted to kill myself before i even knew it, you looked so happy when you called me that time. Stay smiling like that for me forever won't you? I'm sorry again langa i love you."

The letter was so abrupt as if you were in a hurry, as if you were dying. And he started sobbing before he knew it, surprising not only himself but everyone around him. His mother only teared up more she saw him crying. Cherry and joe desperately trying to calm the mother and son down.

It was a mess, the mess you left behind for them to handle, the mess you were going through all alone now cut short and stuck to everyone who loved you. Maybe if they all noticed sooner you'd have been here. Maybe just maybe if they told you they loved you sooner you would've been here.

..........

A/n: hey, so uhm idk i just wrote this in a flow. Just know if you, or someone you know is going through Something you can always seek help or go try to help someone, nothing you'd say to a depressed person would ever be meaningless, maybe your kindness saves a soul. Hope you all are doing fine hahhaha. Lot of angst for a day whew.

Anyway, thank you for reading🥺🥰🥰. Reblogs and likes are always appreciated 🥺☺️💜

[fatalfangirl]

11, 30, 40 - also your writing is excellent so try for another compliment 😉

HAHHAHA I love that you're calling me out. Okay fine, I think my writing flows well. Sometimes I re-read a fic I posted and think "wait what? I did that? but it's so smooth!

My answers ended up being pretty long, so I'm putting them under the cut to save space.

11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated.

Oh boy... my hot takes 😂. I will start this by saying I am not here to yuck on anyone's yum, and I'm open to pretty much all tropes, so I'm going to lean into that "overrated" part of the ask. (But whatever you like, you are valid.)

My three are: MCD, high school AU, fluff. That said I can name fics in all three that I really enjoy.

30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

I don't have many of these 😅 Most fics don't get past the initial daydream stage, but I guess I'll go with the "Consent List" idea I've talked about a few times before. It came out of Burberry Glasses. In the original draft, the conversation between Simon and Baz in the bathroom took a different turn. (You will soon find out with B&D, I love an intimate bathroom scene.) Instead of Baz saying:

“You’re selling yourself extremely short,” I say, and I wonder how far I should take this—how far Simon will let me go. Actions speak louder than words with Simon and, as superficial as it might sound, I think sex will help. Not that we’re in a dry spell (which is maybe, idiotically, why I didn’t notice the root problem), but we haven’t fucked while Simon is wearing his glasses. It could be eye-opening for him.

He said:

“You’re selling yourself extremely short,” I say with a frown, squeezing at his waist. He’s back to not looking at me. “Hey,” I tip his chin up. “I love you.” Simon softens. “You’re not a fraud. You chose to go to the doctor instead of suffering in silence. That’s pretty smart in my opinion.”

That earns a shadow of a smile.

“Wear them.” I kiss his forehead, and I have an idea. “The more you do, the better you’ll feel.” There’s a bubble of excitement as the plan takes root in my brain. “I promise.”

“I know that look.” Simon narrows his eyes. “That’s your plotting look.”

“I don’t have a plotting look.”

Simon balks. “You do too. Your eyes go squinty,” he pokes at the corner of my mouth, “and you get this crooked smirk.” Said smirk grows to a full grin. “You’re up to something.”

“If you wear your glasses maybe you’ll find out what that something is.”

This then expanded to Baz telling Simon if he wore his glasses for at least three consecutive days he'd do anything Simon wanted. Hence the line I shared ages ago on either a WIP Wednesday or Six Sentence Sunday:

The grip on my chin gets tighter. I’m about to say to hell with it and suggest we take this to the bedroom when Simon tilts his head and says, “You’ll do anything?” He feels for my fangs through my cheek.

“Almost anything.”

I can already see him start to mentally scroll through his wishlist. Simon loves a list.

“Anything within reason,” I stress.

He grins, and I suddenly feel my plan is being turned against me. “Deal.”

Cut to about 1.5k of consent list set up and smut later and I realized this wasn't working and decided to scrap almost everything after "You're selling yourself extremely short" and try again. Ultimately, I'm happy with the fic I published. I do still hope to write a consent list fic someday.

40. Write a 9-word fic.

They stood in traffic, kissing as the sirens blared.

15:46 the actor who plays Milligan is fucking huge in stature so I wasn't sure how that would go but it looks so good

16:00 THE WAY HE'S LOOKING AT HER WITH HIS HAND ON HER SHOULDER I CANT DO THISSSSS

16:20 "keep going." 😭😭😭😭😭

16:23 "you dont understand." Ohhhh I think he does

16:25 "I think I do." What did I tell you, he's got your back babygirl

16:45 I'm so glad she's talking this out, and with Milligan of all people

17:01 it makes so much sense for Kate to feel alone in that situation, and when Kate feels anything less than positive she goes and does something, whatever that something is.

17:05 "So.. I...." "fell off a cliff and nearly died." Thanks for putting things into perspective Milligan

17:05 Milligan is such a good dad stop

17:19 "most of the way" is an understatement LMFAO

17:29 I'm so glad we know the intimate details of Milligan's illustrious swimming abilities 😂 out of all the new things wfrom the show that one wasnt on my radar

17:52 leave it to Milligan to come up with an escape plan off of an island with no water vessel with four kids in tow

18:08 THEYRE SO CUTE 😭😭😭😭

18:08 lowkey I'm super surprised they didnt take this opportunity to have Milligan's arduous swim force his memories out and have the father daughter bonding time they deserve. I hope they give that moment ample time to flesh out.

18:13 BUCKET!!!

18:13 wait that shot is so artsy hold up lmfao

18:13 this looks like someone's photography final hahahaha

18:26 THE TENDER MUSIC STOPPPP 😭😭😭

18:41 Sticky is still on that jumping to conclusions bs he got from Curtain

18:44 WETHERALL'S WIDGET 😭

19:31 "Kate... she's in danger..." NO SHIT SHERLOCK

19:36 "and it's all because of me." Not just because of you but love to see you taking responsibility

19:52 once again I am asking WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IN THE OPEN

20:26 "Kate. She has changed." "Not really. She's always been who she is." "Her clothes. She changed clothes." PFFFT HAHHAHA they really took a moment of self-reflection and made it so much better

20:55 AYYYYY KATE'S DEPENDENCY ARC CONTINUESSSSS

21:35 yikes yikes yikes

22:16 I love that Mr. Benedict got closure in telling Miss Perumal that her words stuck with him

22:40 the way she just knows Reynie took the position of leader 😭😭

22:54 SHE WROTE HIM A LETTERRR

23:02 "Would it be possible to get this to him?" Ma'am what part of undercover spy don't you get

23:54 it's still really weird that we are now in a position where Reynie is the one who is not trusted and Sticky is the one in Curtain's favor

24:13 and here we see Curtain's thinly veiled anger issues shining through

24:21 "the little things matter. Every minor detail, it all matters!" CALLBACK TO MR. BENEDICT TELLING THE CHILDREN THAT THEY ALL MATTER

24:55 "I can tell with complete accuracy when a person is lying." first of all, no. second of all, I cannot wait for him to talk to Constance.

26:33 why is Mr. Benedict graphically explaining the children's potential trauma so funny to me

26:40 "you're catastrophizing." "Yes. I am. Quite severely. Thank you." WHY IS THIS FUNNY

26:58 MADGE!!!!

27:16 she's so prettyyyyy

27:33 GOOD JOB MADGE!!!!!

27:36 wait did she just take the LETTER??? she's delivering the LETTER?????

28:05 WHAT DOES "OKAY FINE" MEAN??? REYNIE??????

28:22 it's sad because it's true 🥺

28:24 "I miss my teacher from the orphanage" the best lies are the ones rooted in truth 🥺🥺🥺

28:48 roll credits

29:16 Reynie honey Orion's Belt isn't on the ceiling

29:29 the way he was so confident that he had it right 😑 Curtain Stop Being a Pretentious Fuck challenge

29:52 our babygirl is so smartttt

29:55 did Milligan plant his prints 😳 oh no OH NO

29:57 MARTINA???? WHATSUEJHDKD

29:57 is this the replacement for when they pin cheating on her????

30:03 THE KEY CARD!!!!

30:11 MADGEEEE

30:21 "one attacked me as a small child" honey you are a small child

30:24 "it did not win," she said, smiling menacingly

30:40 "so we dance again" WHY DID THE MUSIC REV UP WHEN SHE SAID THAT HAHAHAHA

31:01 ✨woodworking is a passion✨

31:58 "was it functional?" "Well I guess that depends on how you define functionality" RHONDA'S FACE IN THE BACKGROUND HAHAHAHA

32:10 OH HEY MARTINA

32:17 wait 🥺

32:22 that has to be SQ :)

32:28 hi sweet boy

32:34 please tell me they did that shot of the sandwich because Madge is about to take it

32:39 LMFAOOOOO

32:44 hi good girl!!! Enjoy your snackies

32:50 oh god oh no the LETTER

33:25 oh wow we're doing this NOW??

33:52 and here we see another example of Curtain's thinly veiled anger issues bubbling to the surface

34:10 hey what if you uhhh weren't such an asshole

34:33 that man's voice is buttery

34:52 REYNIE'S TRYING TO TELL SQ????

35:02 and they're talking about this right in front of the office door, WHY??

35:24 AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICE DOOR, WHY????

35:55 he's letting him go 🥺🥺🥺🥺

36:14 why does that look like a body bag

36:17 oh my gosh it definitely is a body bag, hey Martina

36:25 yep, that's about what I expected

36:36 "whoever did this to me, they're gonna pay" oh girl do I have some bad news for you

37:12 ahhhh, so Martina is the burnt out gifted kid who keeps going out of spite and sheer force of will

37:12 everything makes much more sense now

37:30 ohhhhh my gosh feelings time

37:44 "I think it's awesome." "Yeah. I know you do." THE SHIPPERS ARE THRIVING

37:54 THEY REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS AS PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE HUH

38:10 "it's the least I can do" that's an understatement 😬

38:14 AAWWWWW SHKSHSLSBDK

38:20 "I don't know what I'd do without you, Wetherall" STOPPPPP

38:30 HEY BUD UH MAYBE CLOSE YOUR DOOR???

38:38 he's been writing letters to her every night and now he finally gets one back 😭😭

39:34 so Miss Perumal wrote this letter with the intention of it being sent to him, right- why did she write it like that?? 😂

39:34 they've gone to such lengths to communicate in code but the letter kind of undermines that- it was written in such a way that an onlooker would know Reynie was a spy but wouldn't know what he was doing or why. No wonder SQ was pissed

39:41 KATE!!

40:10 BREAKING NEWS: local bastard man treats everyone like shit

40:15 ohhhhh SQ bud please be careful

40:30 "always have time for my son," he said in a clipped voice that implied that he does not have time for his son

40:35 ohhh he's getting RIGHT INTO IT HUH

40:41 you mean to tell me he's never asked about Mr. Curtain's work?? Ever???? Somehow that doesn't seem right to me

40:57 hey uh what if you didn't talk down to SQ at every opportunity

41:02 "would you care to reconsider that answer, son?" "No." DIG THOSE HEELS IN SQ!!!!

41:22 I'm really not digging that Curtain is using the guise of openly expressing his feelings to communicate his anger and his unasked question. Not cool bitch head

41:33 the fact that he didn't answer SQ's spoken question kind of also answers his unspoken question

41:45 "I knew there was something off about that girl. But espionage?" "How do you so convincingly fake a tetherball obsession?" I love that this entire conversation could be about Martina or Kate interchangeably

42:34 WELL THAT'S NOT GOOD

42:36 IF IT WAS THAT EASY TO FIND WITH BINOCULARS HOW HAD THEY NOT BEEN SPOTTED UP UNTIL THIS POINT?!!?#? HOW????

43:05 Kate advocating for Martina with the Society 🥺🥺 the interaction I didn't know I needed

43:58 "I definitely don't like to leave anything unfinished." "That's true, I've seen you eat." PFFFFT

44:05 YESS YOU GO STICKY USE YOUR ACCESS FOR PRIME INTEL

44:19 "well, you can't succeed without me, so..." baby girl you have no idea how right you are

44:28 please let that be Milligan PLEASE LET THAT BE MILLIGAN

44:32 YEAAAAAHHHHH

44:35 I simply adore him

44:45 "would you mind helping me down, please? I'm stuck." Your honor I would die for this man

44:54 oh shit, Martina's tryna sleuth it out herself.. this can't end well

45:04 is she about to find Kate's marbles or something?? Callback to the book?

45:26 the absolute MURDER in her eyes

45:31 FUCKIN YIKES

45:41 "the clothes of someone who had given up" ASEJDGEIDNDLFK

45:47 well that's not good

46:00 WELL THAT'S NOT GOOD

46:04 PLEASE let them be on their way already, please

46:14 THEY MADE A BLIMP????

46:17 Goodyear is QUAKING

46:35 why the fuck is Number Two in red, that's upsetting on principle

THEYRE JUST ENDING IT THERE???? goddamnit!!!!

How surreal is it that next week is the finale?? Idk if I'm ready for that????

End of Year Reading Tag 📚

I was tagged on my main account by @therefugeofbooks so I thought "what a better way to start my new bookblr blog, then through my 2021 readings?". Thanks for the tag, Caah! <3

Let's go to the questions:

did you reach your reading goal for the year (if you had one)?

No, I didn't :( But I almost reached it! My goal was to read 55 books and I finished 2021 by reading 44 books. I was happy, though, because I've read 40+ books!

what are your top 3 books you read this year?

The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller;

La vie devant soi, by Romain Gary;

Time's Divide, by Rysa Walker.

what’s a book that you didn’t expect to enjoy quite so much going in?

Proteja-me, by Mila Wander & Josy Stoque. It was clearly from the beginning that it was a more madure and erotic book. And even though i like the spicy scenes, till this book I haven't found one that had a really good plot, characters and writing. So I started reading it with precaution, knowing it was going to be hard to me to like it. But, surprisingly, IT WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED. The writing was great, the characters had depth, the plot was more than the "i want to fuck her/him", it had drama, it discussed important topics, it had emotional growth, the majority of the female characters respected each other (even though they might despise each other at some points). Great, great, great reading!

were there any books that didn’t live up to your expectations?

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson. I think that great part was from the fact that I already knew major spoilers about it, because of pop culture references. But still, I was hoping I was going to enjoy the read a bit more.

did you reread any old faves? If so, which one was your favourite?

I did reread some books, but none were previously my favourites. I don't even know if I can considere one of them my favourite rereads of 2021 ahhahah Maybe Glass Sword, by @vaveyard since I decided to finish the whole series and for that I needed to reread the first 2 volumes :)

did you dnf any books?

Only the ones I couldn't finish before the new year arrived (but spoiler: i already finished one of them):

Making and Breaking the Grid: A Graphic Design Layout Workshop, by Timothy Samara;

Broken Throne, by @vaveyard

did you read any books outside your usual preferred genre(s)?

Even though I LOVE Historical Romance movies and tv shows, I'm not very used to it as a book genre.

So, after binge watching the first whole season of Bridgerton on 2020, I decided to read the first book of the series: The Duke and I, by Julia Queen. I thought it was okay (apart from a specific scene), but still I feel I'm not 100% used to this genre.

what was your predominant format this year?

Well… e-book and digital reading. Even thought I've read a lot of physical books, e-book was 50% of my most read format.

what’s the longest book you read this year?

Horror Clássico, a 3-in-1 ebook: it has together Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Dracula. I am now considering myself an gothic literature affectionate hahhaha

what are your top 3 anticipated 2022 releases?

I'm not much in touch with releases… So I don't know…

what books from your tbr did you not get to this year, but are excited to read in 2022?

I don't normally do TBRs, only during read-a-thons. But I'm going to answer this question based on my "Want to Read" pile from Goodreads (which for me is kinda like a TBR):

Oscar et la dame rose, by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt;

The Mirror & the Light, Hilary Mantel (I have even already bought it!);

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, by Suzanne Collins;

Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare;

The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien

[hannie-dul-set]

hi i'm a big fan of ur work :> (im on anon cuz shy)

anyways i noticed that u read a lot, so do you have any book recommendations? i'm trying to expand my reads and all i've read so far are YA/fantasy novels

omg hellooooo<3

actually, i don't read a lot HUHU i would like to read more but i don't have the budget to buy more books </3 (i'm physically incapable of focusing on my phone so i need the actual thing HUHU) but anyway, i hope my limited selection can satisfy ur needs in some way :'>

okay starting off with a book i'm currently reading and doing a terrible job on it because i don't have a physical copy HAGDBSJ— a little life by hanya yanagihara!

genre according to fanfic criteria: slice of life, domestic fiction, found family trope, ANGST fucking aaghdjdkska PAIN.

two things you need to know abt this book is that it's (1) long, and (2) SAD. very sad. i was already crying before the angsty parts came in because u just get so ATTACHED to the characters ugh i'm in love with willem.

another thing u need to know is that this book deals with a lot of triggering and sensitive topics. so if ur planning on reading it, please read through this list of trigger warnings before you do.

OKAY the next two will be from the legend himself, haruki murakami:

norwegian wood— bro i cried. that's not a surprise because i cry all the time but THE WRITING?? IS SO GOOD??? god i take so much inspiration from murakami's words bcs it's so???? bro u just gotta read it to find out it's SO—

genres: romance, coming of age, there's lots of sex and sex talk and it's just v explicit be warned HAGSHJA

also just a note abt murakami's writing is that he uh..... writes women.... evidently through the male gaze (ahem boobs) so take that as u will 😐.

scrumptious writing tho ooh lala

next one is after dark— this book is SO VIBEY like i don't fucking know what the hell happened here but i enjoyed it nonetheless. so much music recs too HAHHAHA this was such a nice read.

okay no way in hell am i gonna make a rec list and NOT mention my queen jane austen so let me just recommend all six od her novels because they're MWAH. ranked from my most favorite to least<3:

persuasion— GOD HOW DO I EVEN CONDENSE THIS okay. so much yearning. SO MUCH!!! YEARNING!!! it's always been you trope??? a love that endures??? CAPTAIN WENTWORTH'S LETTER AT THE END GOOD GOD RUIN MY LIFE!! NOW!!!

emma— read for a hecking good time<3 so much misunderstandings HAHA fuck this was so entertaining equal parts laugh. equal parts HOLLERING. very sexy book.

okay the next three are relatively the same rank

northanger abbey—if there was a modern rendition (maybe working on smthng like this rn) it would be a girlie being way too obsessed with wattpad books and trying so hard to believe that she is starring in one herself. also the male lead is to DIE FOR he's so fucking sWOON WORTHY I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM NO JOKE I FELL IN LOVE.

pride & prejudice— don't think i have to say a lot abt this LMAO. except for the fact that you'll more vividly see the spiraling of mr. darcy into his state of whipped-ness with lizzie.

mansfield park— currently rereading.....god this was so good but for some reason i'm having a lot of trouble trying say anything about it HAHAHAH.

sense & sensibility— least favorite out of the six but still good 👍 (i am actually marriane dashwood, save for the fact that i'd up marrying someone almost the same age as my dad).

LAST ONE is the song of achilles by madelline miller! pretty sure you've heard about this already HAGDBSJ

i cried so fucking much like straight up SOBBING my tears wouldn't stop aahahah. the writing too??? GOD TIER. THE HEAVEN'S CRIED TOO. fuck.

this book ruined me thnx.

just for a little addition, i'm linking my have read/tbr list here too, just in case HAHAH hope this helped, and happy reading bb<3

[oncefutureemrys]

OKAY HERE YOU GO (idc if you post this public btw!!)

"I cannot do this right now, I have an exam in the morning," he muttered to himself as he walked out the door and across the flat to his kitchen.

There was no way this was really happening. This wasn't happening. He was hallucinating from stress. That had to be it. There was not a demon in his bedroom.

There is not a demon in my bedroom, Arthur mentally repeated over and over as he opened the fridge and just stared blankly into it.

"You're right! There's one in your kitchen! Though, I did used to be in your bedroom, but I followed you out, so I'm not now, and hey! Stop screaming, I have sensitive ears!"

"What the fuck?!"

I hope this makes you want to read the rest~ (which I've not written yet😭😂)

OMG HAHHAHA IM DYINGGGG HOLY SHIT THATS HILARIOUSSS oh my godddd merlin you little shittt hahah omggg i fucking loveee thissss soo much!!! THIS IS LITERALLY AMAZINGGG!!! I DEFINITELY WANT TO READ THE FUCKING REST HOLY SHIT ITS SO FUNNY
