welcome to my 100 wof adopts challenge!! here be free dragon designs :]
this blog was inspired primarily by @wofadopts ! :)
ABOUT / RULEZ
anyone can request any square on the grid that hasn't been done yet, and the design is yours to keep for free!!
i just ask that if you choose to upload to toyhouse, please credit me there @ meowmoths
you can check which have already been done on this masterlist!
in your ask, please include what tribe(s) and a color palette. palettes can be as vague as "earth colors" or as specific as sending an image with the exact colors desired.
you may also specify which base to use, but that's not required. you can find the bases i have available here!
in requests for hybrids i will use the first tribe named as the "dominant" and the second as the "recessive". for example, hive/night would have more obvious hive traits and less obvious night traits. night/hive would have more obvious night traits and less obvious hive traits. (not how genetics works i know.... but it's easier....) these would also count as different squares!
if the original ask is anonymous, the first person to claim in a comment or reblog can use the design!
once the design is yours, you are free to do whatever you want with them, including changing the name, giving them any pronouns you want, redesigning them, etc. all i ask is that you do not resell the design unless with added material you paid for (i.e. artwork or lore you commissioned).
someone already take a combo you had your heart set on? if/when this blog fills the entire grid, we can start all over again :] (orrrr just commission me for a custom, lol)

How about...more Lata and Obi shenanigans/banter for the drabble prompts? ^^
The office is blessedly silent. Still. Free from a persistent redhead. And it’s going to stay that way.
Throwing the bolt, Lata savors the sweet taste of reprieve.
It’s all too short lived.
He glowers. “What the hell are you doing here?”
A low whistle sounds behind him. “Not bad.” Shirayuki’s guard may play at being a knight, but he’s as good as a cat for all he gets underfoot. “Thought the hearing was supposed to go with old age.”
“I’m 36, and I’d wager my knees are in better condition than yours,” Lata complains, turning just a hair before his heartrate skyrockets. He’s across the room in two strides, snatching the opaque green specimen precipitously close to the infant’s face and returning it to its display. Then he grabs Obi – what sort of name is that anyway – and douses his hand in solution. “You didn’t lick the rock, did you?”
“Oye, oye!” The kid tries to pull back, eyes going wide when Lata’s grip doesn’t break. “Why would I-- No. What the hell is this stuff?”
“Something you’re not supposed to touch,” Lata remarks, glancing at his watch. “Never- And I mean ever- touch my specimens without permission again.”
#bubbleswrites#drabble#100 word challenge#akagami no shirayukihime#snow white with the red hair#lata#obi#another attempt at 100 words that went to 200#poor lata forever to be dogged by shirayuki#only to have her guard show up everywhere screaming ADOPT ME I BABY

dating him | kim seungmin
❝ kiss me first ❞
chan | lee know | changbin | hyunjin | han | felix | SEUNGMIN | jeongin
best friends to lovers type beat
it HAS to be
like seungmin doesn’t give me eager for love
i don’t think he’s ever rly prioritized it
that’s why it’s essential that this is a best friends to lovers love story
bc he would’ve had to fall in love in between the silence of friends
there isn’t even a light bulb moment
more of an “oh” moment really
like oh, i’ve fallen in love with my best friend
bc i think it takes A LOT for this boy to add romance in his life
he strikes me as the type that prioritizes his comfort and his routine
so he doesn’t fall in love easily
but turns out, he’s not so immune after all
seungmin has sudden urges to kiss u too
like woah 😂😂😂 let’s check the label first 😂😂😂😂
YEAH. BEST FRIENDS.
he couldn’t take it any longer tho
he asks u out and long story short
he’s ur boyfriend now
he doesn’t rly change much
seungmin is still a menace
this time he just gets to kiss you
he’s always comparing hand size with u
size kink much ?!!??
teases u bc ur hand is smaller than felix’s
and that boy’s hand … miniature
tbh i think it’s just an excuse to hold ur hand
but once he shows u his palms, u already know what’s up
either hold his hand or COMPARE
is 100% the type to hold ur hand in the pocket of his hoodie btw
his face is nonchalant the whole time
he does it when he notices ur hands r a little cold and trembling
it’s his attempt to warm ur hand up
i think his face is nonchalant bc it’s just natural to him
like he doesn’t think anything of it .. just him helping his partner so they don’t suffer
his favorite date with u would be karaoke dates
u know how in korea, they have karaokes where u can challenge other rooms
yeah u do that a lot
and when u start losing, u just whip out ur secret weapon
aka kim seungmin
what can u say
it’s all about winning
and u are a sore loser
seungmin ofc ends up winning it for u guys so u always get free food bc that’s the wager yall always bet on
he always lets u decide which food too
and if u rlly like the snack u’re betting on, he tries extra hard
(here’s a secret: he thinks of u when he sings love songs so that extra bit of emotion he uses while singing ? lowkey u’re still the reason u guys won)
another favorite date of seungmin’s is visiting dog shelters
you two have successfully named all the dogs in ur local dog shelter
u’d just visit from time to time to check on them and play with them
“hi fang!!!!! where’s ur sister and ur mother!!!! how about berry 2.0 and kkami wannabe!!!!”
eventually, you guys do adopt ur own puppy
he gets jealous at first bc now ur attention is divided
but then HIS attention gets divided
i think u two would be good dog parents
he would activate the puppy’s playful side
you’d swoop in when ur puppy is tired and u just wanna give them love and cuddles
he likes it when u refer to urselves as the parents of ur dog
also loves talking in 3rd person like “mom is mad at me today” to ur puppy
anyways moving on
his love language is for sure acts of service
would fold ur laundry for u
would do ur most hatest chore
he’d make u coffee the way u like in the morning
and it’s all just instinct to him again
like he just DOES it without being told to
HOWEVER
however ….
listen to me
if you ask him to do something for u
kim “kiss first” seungmin spawns
“seungmin, can you reach this for me?”
“kiss me first”
“seungmin, do u know where my shoes are?”
“kiss me first”
like DAMNNNNN taking advantage of the moment, i see
he enjoys it so much
he’d have his lips puckered, knees bent a little to ur height, and he waits
bc he knows u always do it
btw i think he has a secret instagram just full of photos of you ☹️☹️☹️☹️
he’d tell u he has a photography acc
little do u know, it’s just you all over
is that why he loves to bring his camera around in dates ?!?
unlimited supply of his hoodies #2
but unlike chan, he acts like it bothers him
he just likes riling u up
another way he riles up up is whispering dirty things to u in public bc he’s just a little shit like that
would be the type to say “make me”
and also “prove it”
likeeeeee…
have fun with that thought!
third favorite date is driving around
with his arm around your car seat or rested on your thigh 😊😊😊😊😊
i’m totally sane rn
is not above doing things in his car
u didn’t hear it from me
another hot thing he does are slight squeezes on ur thigh or tapping it to the beat of the music
UGHHGHHNGYNFNFNBGBBGBG
btw when U get to fluster him
he suddenly hugs u
and u’re like ?!!????
u try to look up at him but he presses ur face on his chest, his hand on the back of your head
it’s so u don’t see how red his face is
OR HIS EARS
so if he suddenly hugs u for no reason
you already know why
anyways
whatever
u two are each other’s biggest supporters
bc before u were together, u were best friends already
he knows u like the back of his hand
despite being a little shit, u know he’s in love with you
bc u hear him whisper it when he thinks u’re asleep
and he lets it slip out a lot when he’s tired or when he’s a little tipsy
and he holds u while u sleep and kisses you and comforts u
he rly does love u a lot and cares for u
sometimes i think u’d have arguments just bc he cares about u too much
like u could’ve put ur health at risk
and he isn’t all about that
anyways seungmin doesn’t need to be grand and showy about it for u to know
sometimes, all that matters is what happens behind the scenes
seungmin best boy

Can I make an ask for the sully seriessss? I wanna see what would happen if y/n got into a fight with one of the sullys (idm which one) so at the ended of the day she started going back to the lab with spider instead of being around them and like they kept going back to the lab like for atleast a week and a half, and she basically sleeps there, eats there, doesn’t actually leave it and the sullys haven’t seen her in dayssss and this sort of thing has never happened before
If you don’t wanna do this it’s okay but tysm!! :)
taken in by the sullys (10) / sully family x human!daughter/sister!reader
synopsis, flashback to when you get into a fight with neytiri and stay at the lab for a day or two… or twelve…
try not to put lore in the filler chapters challenge: failed. lol
thank you for your request <3 sorry if it isn't what you intended, but i hope i did it justice! i'm slowly working through my inbox so if you sent a request in, dw, i haven't forgotten them :D
(1) / . . . / (8*) / (9*) / (10 - ur here! ☆)
+ chapters with an * beside it means that it’s following atwow plot line as opposed to disconnected scenarios
years before the RDA returned. . .
as we’ve talked about in the earlier chapters, you can owe your strength and skill to neytiri, who was very diligent in training you.
you started earlier than any of your siblings. you learned to string bows, build arrows, proper technique for handling knives, etc...
it was clear to anyone that neytiri was the hardest on you. she put a lot of pressure on you to be the best.
in the early years, she was hyperaware of the clan's opinions of her. of jake, of the half-blood children she would eventually have one day. even though they were triumphant against humanity, she still held a bitterness for them.
so she was shocked when she felt so strongly about keeping you as her own. jake was more than ready to respect her wishes if push came to shove, but despite her grudge against the sky people, she was 100% on board with your adoption.
neytiri loved you very much, but sometimes other people's opinions were more important than your happiness.
"again." neytiri snapped, circling you like a hawk. her golden eyes were focused on you, constantly assessing your form for any missteps.
your eyes darted to her before you swallowed your nerves and pulled the bowstring taut.
"not quite. again."
you let the bow drop, clenching your eyes shut. what am i getting wrong? you inhaled sharply, drawing the bow once more, the thin string digging into the joints of your middle and index finger. your gaze flickered to neytiri in preparation for her critique.
she pursed her lips before she sighed, shaking her head lightly. "you must be faster, ma'ite."
you frowned, gently releasing the bowstring. the disappointment in her voice made your skin hot with embarrassment. "i'm pulling it as fast as i can."
"not good enough." her eyebrows furrowed. "we will do more strength training. forget the bow. for now we will build your muscles."
she stalked off, swiping the bow from you. you watched her leave before dropping onto the ground in exhaustion. you stared at the leather stitching in the ceiling, your heart thumping in your chest as you entered a resting state.
it was hard to impress neytiri, much less meet her expectations. you were working yourself to the bone, and still you weren't scratching the surface of her approval.
it only got worse as you got older. you were capable of more, so neytiri pushed you harder.
unfortunately, you were also in an age where you were increasingly self-conscious. this anxiety was only fueled by the strife within the clan. strife centered around you.
they didn't like that you were participating in their training rituals, especially since you regularly outperformed the other children.
and this isn't to say you just happen to be able to achieve such feats despite being human—
neytiri had you working all the time.
the other kids wanted to win. you had to win.
unknowingly, and unintentionally, neytiri conditioned you into thinking being the best would make you worthy of your family.
"what is the use, neytiri?" a clan member asked her, the judgement clear on his tone. he consoled his own child who was just beaten in combat by you. "the child is human. no matter how much time you pour into teaching her, she will never be part of the clan."
"i am aware," neytiri shoots back dismissively.
"you have sons. neteyam is the next olo'eyktan, and you waste your time on a demon."
"demon or not, she is a part of my family. we train all our children, y/n is no different." neytiri hissed, whirling to face her challenger.
the man stepped back but didn't step down. "what is the goal of her training? she cannot complete iknimaya. she cannot bond, she cannot see, she cannot connect with the great mother—"
"there are many things y/n cannot do. to make up for it, she will be everything the sky people are not. she will be clever, quick, and deadly like any other na'vi child, otherwise there would have been no point in keeping her." neytiri snarled, her anger bubbling over the surface.
the man was putting her own fears into words. she was unforgiving to sky people, wishing they would remain with their kind rather than infiltrate her and her people's space. she was aware she was being hypocritical when it came to you, and it ate her up inside when she thought about it. but that's just a mother's love—paradoxical.
she was determined to mold you into perfection so that no one would think you didn't belong among them.
she stormed away from the man and his child, her thoughts so clouded that she didn't even notice you standing right there, hiding behind a branch as you eavesdropped.
you stared at her until she vanished from view, her words stewing in your mind.
some part of you knew that she felt that way. simply observing the differences between how she trained you versus neteyam or lo'ak were clear as day. she handled you with an urgency as if you were stacked against a ticking clock, as if you had to fight to be able to stand in front of her and receive her instruction.
she would only respond to excellence. and even then, her praise was weighed down by an unspoken burden.
you sat behind that branch for a very long time.
demon. the man called you that, and she didn't deny it.
—
the dinner table was filled with the pleasant chatter of your younger siblings, reveling in their various feats and findings in the earlier hours.
"what about your day, y/n?" jake asked, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and squeezing.
you sighed, nudging the food on your leaf. "just training."
"this reminds me, y/n," neytiri spoke up, wiping tuk's face before glancing over to you. "we can fit in another burst of strength conditioning before bed."
your expression hardened, your eyes falling to the ground. "i'm pretty tired..."
"that's why you're fueling up." she said, almost confused that you would shirk training.
"i won the races today." you said sharply, your eyes narrowing. "isn't that enough?"
"you must be faster, ma'ite." neytiri stressed, her brows furrowing in that oh-so-familiar disappointing look. jake sent her a silent message from across the table, warning neytiri to back down and maybe be encouraging for once.
"i—faster?" you shot back incredulously. you won. forget being faster, you were the fastest.
"our world is unforgiving. even a second can be the difference between life and death." neytiri said matter-of-factly. pity swam in her eyes as she gazed upon you.
you slammed your hands down, glaring outright at your mother. "stop acting like that's the reason you want me to train so hard."
a slow blink. neytiri froze, her ears flattening as she barely contained her reaction. "watch your tone, daughter."
you throw caution to the wind, springing to your feet with clenched fists hanging at your sides. "i do everything you ask. i train, i win, i fight, i hunt—"
"you are not fast enough!" neytiri doubled down, rising to her feet and towering over you.
"i am not enough, period." you correct her, and you didn't miss the flicker of guilt in her expression. got you. the child in you hoped she would deny it, to tell you that it wasn't like that. but the subtle wince told you all you needed to know.
a beat passed as neytiri breathed hard, collecting the scattered thoughts in her head and reigning in her emotion.
"you are alive," neytiri began slowly. "because i made you strong. because i did not coddle you like a helpless child. i did not give you the luxury of softness, because no one would else would. you think you suffer because of me? you won today because you are better than them. both na'vi and sky people alike. because i made you more than what they expected."
"you pushed a narrative on me! you don't see me for who i am."
she snarled, striding around the table. "the clan is the one that does not see you. i see fire in you, y/n. the drive to be more than what you were born as."
"none of this is for my sake! you want me to prove that i'm worth something to the clan. that i'm worth something to you. and i'm trying." your voice tapered off into a whine.
"you're human. you have needed to prove yourself from the minute you set foot on this tree."
you blinked back tears, your face flipping between emotional distress and anger, shoulders rising with every heavy breath.
"what—" your voice broke, and you breathed in deeply before continuing. "what if i didn't want to fight for my place? what if i just wanted to be your daughter?"
she opened her mouth to retort but the gravity of your words hit her like a truck.
frustrated with her lack of response, you spun on your heels and booked it out of the marui with a aggravated scream.
there was a lengthy silence that hung in the air after you stormed out. neytiri said nothing further, dropping back into her seat.
they didn't see you for days after that.
jake and neytiri initially panicked, fearing you were victim to pandora's nightly dangers
but norm put in a call and informed them that you were just hanging around them in an old bunk.
jake visited you in the beginning, coaxing you to return. but you refused.
when he put his foot down and ordered you to come home, you said you'd come on your own time, later that day.
you never showed up. when he went back looking for you, you were nowhere to be found. you were straight up avoiding them.
he knew that he wasn't the one you needed to see. but neytiri was just as stubborn.
"she will come back." neytiri said calmly, but she churned her spices with more aggression that jake's ever seen before.
"you're her mother," jake gently spoke up. "it's your job to chase after her."
she hissed at her husband. "she cannot understand that i am the way i am with her for her own benefit."
"she's a child. barely a teenager. she's doesn't care why you're doing it."
"she doesn't listen."
jake snickered, earning a hard smack to his chest from neytiri. "what?" she snapped.
jake's laughter trailed off as he gave her a knowing look. "now you know how i feel with your sons."
she rolled her eyes.
"she has a lot stacked against her." jake reasoned, scooting closer to her. "she doesn't need to fight her mom, too."
the kids were insufferable.
with you gone, there were lots they couldn't do—namely go out and play in the forest, which was their favorite.
in your absence, jake sometimes found the time to take them out, but he didn't let them have fun like you did.
you let them explore their surroundings, only cautioning them when they were doing something seriously stupid. jake's dad brain didn't allow for much wiggle room, and he wanted them in his sight at all times.
all that to say they were bored. they missed you.
"when is y/n coming back?" lo'ak's little voice whined, climbing on neytiri's back.
"soon." she muttered, her voice clipped. she could feel her resolve slipping.
parenting never came with a guidebook. she was young, freshly 20 when she had neteyam. she didn't know what she was doing, and she hoped the lengths she took to prepare her children for the real world would pay off. the reality was she was stuck.
she also missed you.
"i wanna go outside." kiri raised her arm, pointing to the expanses of the forest.
neytiri groaned. "kiri, we've told you. no outside if your father can't watch you."
she stomped her foot, complaining. "ugh, neteyam's only four years younger than tsmuke. can't he watch us?"
neytiri gave her daughter a warning look. "neteyam is a baby, just like you. he can't fight off viperwolves or save you from a hammerhead stampede, can he? do you want to be flattened?"
"no." kiri muttered, her glare dropping to the floor.
"you can go outside when your father returns from his duties." neytiri sighed.
neytiri was beginning to reach her limit.
she was anxious. when they went to bed at night, there was always something missing. she itched as if something was left undone.
she struggled to sleep. at the least, jake was also in a similar state. they often lay awake beside each other quietly, but the air between them was charged with a million unspoken thoughts.
the next morning, on the twelfth day you've spent away from them, neytiri finally had enough.
she got up at the crack of dawn. by her understanding, you actively avoided them. how you got wind of their arrival without even seeing them was beyond her. or perhaps it wasn't—she probably taught you that.
she slinked through the wet forest, the morning mist kissing her skin with dew drops. it smelled like rain, like dirt and musk. she just hoped she would be able to outwit you.
she found herself smiling, pride sneaking its way into her heart. how funny that you were using everything she taught you against her.
she didn't make her presence known. she was careful not to trip any of the perimeter alarms, peeking through the foggy windows for any indication of your location.
her ears stood at attention at the sound of rustling behind her. it was faint, barely recognizable, and worth pursuing.
she raced after the sound before it got away from her. she caught sight of your skin against the dull earthy tones of the forest, her eyes brightening.
abandoning your stealthy approach, you broke into a sprint.
"y/n!" she yelled after you. your burst of speed caught her off guard and she scrambled to her feet to chase after you. "wait!"
"i don't want to talk to you!" you yelled over the wind.
unfortunately your legs stood no chance against neytiri's massive strides. you were within her reach in seconds. her hand shot out to grab you. you dodged her, shifting your direction and running between her legs. you yanked on her queue, surprising yourself when you packed enough strength to throw her off balance.
when neytiri got a hold of her bearings, you vanished. she did a 360, scanning the area before turning her gaze up. picking a random tree, she began to climb.
"y/n." she said softly when she climbed high enough. you were already leaping across branches. she followed you, pushing hard to catch up.
"stop—" neytiri grunted as her foot barely found purchase on the tree she was leaping to. "stop running!"
by eywa, you were crazy fast. at least that was something your smaller stature allowed—exponential agility. she grumbled to herself, changing course.
when you jumped and landed with an oomph, you swung your head back to see if she was there. you were annoyed she was chasing you, but now you were even more irritated that she stopped so easily.
with a frown, you straddled the branch.
"aha!" neytiri dropped down from above you.
"what—" you barely looked up before she fell on top of you, screaming as you both slid off the high treetops.
she held you against her, her arm firmly fastened around your stomach, your back pressed to her. her free hand gripped onto a vine, the water shielding her skin from the burn.
you came to a complete stop, swaying just a foot above ground. she dropped down, refusing to let you go even when you got over your shock.
"please, ma'ite, mawey."
"let me go." you grunted, pushing her arm away with little success.
"no."
you probably looked so silly, squirming in neytiri's arms while she battled against your flailing limbs to fully and properly embrace you.
"let's hug."
"what? no."
"give me a hug. we need this."
"ugh." you groaned, going rigid in her arms.
pride ran in the family and neytiri was no different. she struggled to find the right words.
"i am sorry for how relentless i was. i know i'm supposed to have all the answers, but i don't. i'm learning that my way isn't always right, and making you feel out of place was the last thing i wanted to do."
you pursed your lips, hanging limp in her arms.
"you... confuse me, y/n. i have a hatred for sky people and everything they took from me, but i love you. dearly. and this is a feeling i cannot explain to my people. i hoped my methods would help you fit in with them, but i pushed you too hard, too fast."
"i don't mind the training. i know i need it especially." you mumbled. "but doing it constantly—"
"i know, i know." she hushed you, cradling your head. "i don't want you to question anything anymore. you are my daughter, however inexplicable it is."
you smiled warmly at her, finally returning her embrace.
she sat down, setting you in her lap as she undid the hairstyle in your hair, reweaving it with her skillful fingers. "i get scared. you've grown, but i still see you as that toddling baby. pandora is dangerous enough for na'vi as is. i can't help but multiply those dangers by one thousand when you go out there."
she sighed. "i must admit something to you. i have visions of you—one recurring one in particular. it comes and goes. you, bruised and bloodied, a massive slotsyal threatening to swallow you whole." she rested her hands on your shoulders. "i don't want to send you out there and see you hurt, or worse. not when i know i can prepare you."
"you've trained me well," you reassure her. "and you will continue to do so. i won't get into trouble thanks to your lessons. there's no way a stormglider would eat me, either."
she chuckled, standing and holding out her hand in invitation. "perhaps you're right. you are pretty fast."
you beamed up at her.
your bond with neytiri only grew stronger from that point. you were locked in together, and she couldn't be more proud of the fighter you've grown into.
and if anyone had anyone to say about it, they better be ready for a knife fight.
. . .
thanks for reading! <3

Headcanons for Jacob Alden as a new dad?
JAKOB AS A DAD HEADCANONS
Thank you so much for your request! I apologise for the long wait. I hope you enjoy my headcanons either way!
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
- He never thought that having and raising a child would be easy, but he didn't think it would be THAT challenging
-He insisted on being the one who has to get up when your child's crying at night, but he fails miserably so you have to take over anyway.
-He isn't good with comforting crying children
- He would be a bit too overprotective of your kid, but that's probably no surprise
-He gladly takes over the cooking as you're recovering if you didn't adopt the kid
-No matter how much time passes, he will never get over the fact that he has a CHILD with YOU
-He sometimes gets weird about it so you just turn around and act as if nothing's going on
- He loves to share his hobbies, so he'll definitely talk their ear off with random fish and movie facts even though your child doesn't understand anything he's saying
-He swears that they do though
-He's 100% against giving your child an iPad
- He tried to calm your child with jazz once, which didn't work at all for some reason, so you had to step up and put on some of your music (plus points if it was metal). Let's just say that the child comes after you when it comes to music taste
- He was a bit bummed at first but now he finds it silly
-He loves watching you interact with your guys child and often spaces out as he watches you
- I think he wouldn't really care what gender your child has, but I think he would prefer a son a bit more
- He has his camera always ready to take pictures of every minor accomplishment of your child
-You sometimes catch him hunched over as he holds his camera against your child's face as they just sit around
- "What are you doing...?"
"Pshh! They slightly moved their foot to the left, look!"
- He loves to watch movies with you and your child and you have more movie nights as your child gets older
- He will begin to teach them more obscure facts about movies when they're older
- He would love to go fishing with them someday
- He'll support your child's hobby no matter how 'weird' it might be
-He hopes that your child will have the same interests as him so he can teach them more about it
-I think he will find enjoyment in doing things together with his child like cooking and cleaning
-He would never dare to hit or emotionally hurt your child
-There will be slight manipulation though
-He wouldn't be afraid to threaten some kid if they ever thought of bullying your child
-Nevertheless I think he would be a good dad

— 100 SCRIPTING IDEAS.
TODAY’S ISSUE: ROAD TRIPS

. ˚ * ✦ . . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚ ✦ . . ˚ .
(can you tell that i’ve been watching a lot of supernatural and that a lottttt of my lovely brain matter is made up of dreamy thoughts of 1967 chevy impalas? anyways.) here’s a list of 100 road trip-related things to include in your script, blending safety precautions with vivid, romanticized gestures to ensure your trip is the ride-or-die experience
BAREFOOT ON THE BLACKTOP . you kick off your shoes at an empty overlook, dancing barefoot on the sun-warmed pavement to music from the car—your laughter carried by the wind like a love song in itself
BLANKETED BACKSEAT . you turn the backseat into a cozy nest of blankets and cushy pillows for stargazing out the sunroof, or sneaky naps on peaceful stretches of empty road
BREAKDOWN IMMUNITY . the car never breaks down, runs out of gas, or overheats—smooth sailing guaranteed
BREEZE ON DEMAND . every time you roll the windows down, the breeze sweeps through your hair in the most cinematic way, always giving you your effortlessly windswept moment
CACTUS ADOPTION . you pull over at one of those random desert gift shops, buy a tiny cactus, and name it something dumb like Spike. now you have a plant baby for the rest of your time on the road (always room for more company)
CAMPSITE WITH A VIEW . campsites you stop at are free, with stunning starry skies, a gentle breeze, and no mosquitoes
CANDIDS . your lover or other travel companions appreciate you in all your windblown, on-the-road charm, and take plenty of perfectly cinematic pics to reflect that (you’ll never run out of “this was your mom when she was younger” pics from this trip)
CANDY STAYS SOLID . it never melts, even if it’s left in the car on scorching days
CAR CHARCUTERIE . you pack a fancy charcuterie board for snacking on the go—because road trip food doesn’t always have to be basic or dripping in grease
CAR ROOF . you lay on the roof of the car—middle of the night to admire the crystal-clear stars out on the dark roads, or middle of the day to find ridiculous shapes in the billowing clouds
CAR WASH . you have to stop at least once to rinse off the car, and to show off how good you look when you accidentally get sprayed with the hose (bonus points if it turns into an all-out washer frenzy and everyone ends up soaked)
CHERRY STEMS . make pit stops for cherry slushies, though you have to challenge your lover to a knot-tying contest with the stems (loser owes the winner, duh)
CHILLED DRINKS . your cooler ensures you can always crack open icy bottles of soda, sparkling waters, and chilled juice
COFFEE KEEPER . your lover hands you their still-warm mug from the roadside cafe, trusting you to hold it steady as they drive, fingers brushing every time they reach over for a sip—shared warmth lingering like a secret between you
COFFEE STOPS . gas station coffee actually tastes like a barista brewed it (not like a troll spat in it)
COMPLIMENTARY PRIZES . your stays at hotels and motels include complimentary snacks, crisp sodas and drinks for the road, and little bars of soap that you can take with you (you’ll never use them, but they’re good souvenirs)
CORNFIELD CONFESSIONS . you’re bound to find yourself on a random country road lined with cornfields—you stop, take a slow walk through the fields, and whisper secrets to your companion, or maybe just for the corn stalks to hear. they’ll keep them for you
CROISSANT STOPS . hunt for bakeries in between the greasy diners and roadside attractions, savor flaky pastries and share buttery kisses with your lover
DASHBOARD POLAROIDS . take snapshots and tuck them into the dashboard—like an evolving scrapbook of your route
DASHBOARD STARRY NIGHTS . park at a quiet overlook, the kind that sits atop a twinkling town—lean back against the dashboard, and watch the stars flicker like they’re putting on a show just for you, fall asleep in the car overnight and know that you’re safe
DIVE BAR CRAWL . find the dimmest, shadiest dive bar on your route to have a cheeseburger at, and ignore whatever sticky stain is on the table because you’re so immersed in winning the game of pool afterwards
DREAMY HITCHHIKERS . you meet fascinating characters with wild stories at each pit stop, the kind of people that keep you chattering about them until you meet another—you have countless stories by the time your trip is done, even if they aren’t your own
DRIVE-IN DREAMING . pull up to a small-town drive-in theater, snuggle under a blanket barely big enough for the two of you, and enjoy whatever grainy film they’re showing (including the little cluster of mosquitos drawn to the projection)
EARBUD ENTANGLEMENT . when the radio cuts out in the middle of nowhere, untangle those wired earbuds—hopefully your worst challenge so far—then share them, one earbud each, and lean your head on their shoulder until the radio recovers
FARM STANDS . roadside farm stand litter the parts of your route that traverse through the old back country, you snag a warm blackberry pie and a bottle of freezing lemonade, and devour it with sticky fingers while the sun sets behind the hills
FAST FOOD INSURANCE . drive-throughs have no lines and mess up zero orders (imagine the time you’d lose having to walk all the way inside, faint)
FIREWORKS FROM THE FREEWAY . somewhere along the stretch of road, you catch fireworks bursting far off on the horizon; you both roll down the windows, laughter mingling with the breeze, turning a moment of chance into unplanned exhilaration
FIZZY CHEERS . keep a champagne, a sparkling water, or at least a soda pop on hand that you can shake up—at least once you’ll have to pop a bottle and toast to the scenery or your adventures
FLAT-FREE TIRES . no popped tires, ever, no matter the terrain or debris
FOOD TRUCK CRAWL . dedicate at least a day to eating at every food truck you find along the way—you never know what gems you’ll find roadside
FOREVER PHONE SIGNAL . even in the middle of nowhere or heading up to the peaks of the mountains, your phone bars stay strong
GAS STATION GOURMAND . you comb through aisles of offbeat snacks with reverence—spicy chips, sugared sodas, neon candies—and present your finds to your lover who’s pumping gas, their smile your prize
GAS STATION LUXE . at all the rest stops, the bathrooms are shockingly clean and smell like cooling mint and lavender
GHOST TALES . you’re bound to drive through some creepy areas late at night, make up some tales to scare the shit out of eachother—maybe it’ll lighten the mood (or make it worse, shrug)
GINGHAM DAYDREAMS . spot a cute country diner with red gingham curtains and grab coffee swirled with cream and sugar inside while you plan your imaginary life as locals
GOLDEN HOUR . your lover catches you staring at them while they drive, golden-hour light spilling across their face, and with a smirk they say, “What?”—but you only laugh softly, pressing your forehead to the window, the only answer the quickened beat of your heart
GRIMY GLAMOUR . with the angelic outfits you must have planned for your trip, it shouldn’t be difficult to turn a grimy rest stop into a photo op that’s inspired—bonus points if you take pictures by the gas pump when you don’t even pump your own gas (if you do, why isn’t your lover doing it for you, hm?)
HIDDEN GEM GAS STATIONS . you stumble across plenty of gas stations with charming shops, delicious snacks, and most importantly: clean bathrooms
INTERIOR LIGHTS . customizable mood lighting inside the car—cozy purples and night sky blues for evening drives, electric neon pinks and yellows for when it’s hyper late at night
LATE NIGHT PASTRIES . in a sleepy town, you and your companions wander into a 24-hour bakery, the scent of freshly baked croissants wrapping around you like a warm hug—sitting side by side on a bench outside, nibbling on buttery treats, the world still and waiting for tomorrow
LIGHTER FLICK FABLES . use an old-school lighter (of your own, or borrowed from the gruff gas station attendant) to roast mini marshmallows at a pitstop and tell stupid, terrifically creepy campfire stories with tired grins
LIKE A DJ BOOTH . the car has an absolutely killer sound system that you can fully trust to provide arguably the most crucial facet of your trip (what’s the point of anything without a cinematic soundtrack?)
LOCAL LOVE . the locals always give you great tips on where to eat, visit, or explore whenever you’re visiting (no one gives you the evil eye for being out of town)
LOST & LOVING IT . you take a wrong turn on purpose, just to stumble on a scenic route or some unexpected roadside attraction that’s unbelievably weird but just perfect enough to feel like fate
LOVE-LOCKED . find a bridge to leave a love lock with your initials on it—the proof of your trip is eternal, and your love with the person you took it with
LUXURY IS A MINDSET . rundown motels can be the peak of your trip with the beaten-up quilts wrapping around you and whoever you’re snuggling, the carpeting under your sore feet, and the buzz of the cheap TV playing some grainy film you’d see at your grandmother’s house
LYRICAL GENIUSES . your road trip companions know the words to the songs on your playlist (so you actually have someone to sing along with)
MAIN STREET MAGIC . wander down the Main Street of a tiny town, hold hands while you browse antique stores and the little local coffee shop like you’re building a storybook life, even just for a few hours
MAP-MARKED MEMORY . with an old paper map sprawled across your lap, you mark the stops with little hearts—here’s where you kissed by the river, here’s where you found the world’s best pie, here’s where the day felt endless and perfect
MIDNIGHT MILKSHAKES . a 24-hour diner on the edge of nowhere becomes a sacred stop, the two of you sharing a single strawberry milkshake, pink foam bubbling against your lips as your knees bump beneath the table
MIDNIGHT SWIMMING . stop at a lake under the stars (if there’s no lakes, there’s always local pools to be broken into), go for a dip in the middle of the night, hold on tight to your lover (even if you’re not scared)
MIRROR SCRIBBLES . keep a dry-erase marker handy so you can leave little notes on the windows (or so you can scribble things like “graduation trip, cashapp $10” on the back windshield)
MORNING MISSIONS . your breakfast stops consist of stacks of pancakes at roadside diners, all the syrup you can imagine, and steaming coffee enjoyed in cozy booths to prepare you for the day ahead
MUSIC GENIE . your playlist seems to curate itself without any help—every song feels like it was perfectly destined for your current stretch of road
NAPKIN NOTES . leave a little love note on a pie-stained napkin from a roadside diner and tuck it into your lover’s bag for them to find later—old-school romance at its finest
NECK MASSAGES . as the road drags on, you massage your lover’s neck so they don’t get stiff from driving, your fingers working their skin gently while they give you that “you’re too good to me” look out of the corner of their eye
NEVER-LOST GPS . your navigation system always finds the quickest, safest, and most scenic routes—you never get turned around
OCEAN OVERLOOK . you pull off the winding road to a quiet bluff, where the sea stretches endlessly below—your lover resting their head on your shoulder as the two of you sit on the hood of the car, wrapped in a shared blanket, breathing in salt-kissed air and listening to waves crash
OLD-SCHOOL . give a paper map a shot—there’s something charming about a crinkled map that you can’t quite tell up from down on
OVERNIGHT OASIS . you spend at least one night at a kitschy roadside motel, hang string lights in the room, and earn bonus points if you and your lover pretend it’s your honeymoon suite
OVERNIGHT TALKS . you have the kind of nights driving through to morning, and you stay awake to keep the driver company—you have the kind of talks that flow into deep questions and love over sleepy giggles on the dark road
OWL VISION . crystal-clear visibility on dark roads and during rainstorms
PASSENGER PRINCESS PERKS . your lover is more than happy to handle the wheel while you lounge, snack, and play the part of DJ—being spoiled is half the fun, no?
PEN PALS . you buy postcards and write cute little messages to send home, so you have a stack of them to return to
PETROL . at a quiet gas station, the scent of petrol lingers sweetly in the summer heat while you lean lazily against the car, your lover watching you with an affection so soft it feels like a whispered secret
PHOTO BOOTH HOPPING . you and your lover stop at every roadside diner or shop with a photo booth, you take enough snapshots to fill an album with proof of your love on the road
PICNIC PERFECT . the rest stops you visit have finely manicured picnic areas, where you can actually sit on picnic benches to enjoy your five-dollar food
PINNED POLAROID . a gas station break turns cinematic when your friend snaps a Polaroid of you mid-sip of Coke—your blurry smile and sunlit hair forever pinned to the car’s dashboard
POP THE QUESTION . buy ring pops at a rest stop and exchange them with your lover like they’re three-carat diamonds—it’s the thought that counts
POWER NAPS . snuggling in the backseat to nap feels almost too cozy, you sink into the seat cushions dreamily and sleep tight
PROSE PIXIE . your lover lets you entertain them while they drive by reading your favorite novel out loud to them—soothed by the sound of your voice, while you get to enjoy your favorite narrative all the same
QUIET DRIVE . you get moments of silence, holding hands with your lover while they drive, lulled by nothing but the hum of the car and your own breathing
RAINBOW SIGHTINGS . driving through the rain isn’t for nothing, since rainbows appear after all of them
RAIN-SWEPT . s summer storm sends rain cascading down the windshield like liquid silver; you park in an empty lot, the car becoming your refuge, as you both sit there hand in hand, surrounded by the rhythm of the world outside
ROADSIDE GOURMET . the best greasy-spoon diners and taco trucks appear on your route (somehow exactly when you’re hungry, hm)
ROADSIDE REVELATIONS . long, quiet stretches of road are the place to share your deepest, darkest secrets and confessions with your travel companions—trust grows with the miles
ROCKY BEACH . pull off at a hidden rocky beach, skip stones, and collect driftwood tokens to stash in the trunk as souvenirs—the best kind of beach is the kind with no sand, you’ll want to remember it forever
ROOT BEER FLOATS . you park at a vintage soda fountain, sip on a giant root beer float under the beating sun with two straws, and argue playfully over who gets the last sip
SELF-CLEANING INTERIOR . no crumbs, stains, or sticky messes—ever
SHARED SHERBET. an orange sherbet cone sits precariously in their grip as you lean over to steal a bite, lips brushing their knuckles for a half-second too long—sweetness lingering long after the ice cream melts
SNACK HOLDERS . the cupholders manage to fit anything you need, from your morning coffee cups to family-sized chip bags
SNACK SMUGGLER . your best friend hands you a crinkling bag of gummy worms they stashed like contraband, grinning as they remind you why road trips taste better when snacks are sneakily passed between seats
STARGAZING . you pull over under a sky so clear the stars feel close enough to touch, sprawling on the car hood side by side—hands brushing as you name the constellations you know and make up stories for the ones you don’t
STORM STOPS . you find quaint inns or diners when rain hits, making bad weather feel romantic, rather than inconvenient
STRETCH ROOM . the car always feels just roomy enough for everyone, without you having to lug some massive RV down the highway
SUNRISES . make sure you wake up early enough to watch the sunrise together, the way the pinks and golds light up the windshield, and whisper to eachother while the world is still waking up
SUNVISOR ANGEL . reapply your lipstick in the sun visor mirror, and smirk a little bit because you know they’re sneaking a glance at you longingly
SUGAR STOP . your lover buys you a pack of your favorite candy, unprompted at a gas station—a quiet indulgence shared between kisses sticky with sweetness and the crinkle of wrappers in the cup holder
SUNDAE FUN . you pull into a sun-drenched diner with chrome stools and checkered floors, where your lover orders the tallest ice cream sundae on the menu—two spoons, one glass, and a cascade of whipped cream that melts faster than you can catch it, leaving you both giggling through shared bites, the sweetness lingering long after the last cherry is gone
TIRE BLOWOUT . but only so you have an excuse to watch your lover change a tire, and give them a little bit of motivation to hurry up and get back in the car
TOUCHY DRIVER . your lover can’t keep their hands off of you while driving, holding your hand and stroking it with their thumb gently, placing a steady hand on your knee or your thigh, and leaning over to steal kisses (though they should probably keep their eyes on the road)
TRAVEL TOKENS . gather little keepsakes—pressed pennies, matchbooks, postcards, or receipts with dumb doodles on the back, so you can keep them all together and remember even the tiniest details from your trip
TRUCKER GLITZ . one of the places you stop for gas must have tacky trucker hats you can get to match, bonus points if they’re bedazzled
TUCKED AWAY NAPS . borrow your lover’s worn-out charcoal gray sweatshirt, curl up with it as a pillow against the window and pretend the hum of the road is a lullaby
TWILIGHT FIREFLIES . fireflies appear in the evening, adding an unexpectedly moody and intimate glow to your rest stops
VINTAGE MOTEL . you stumble upon a roadside relic bathed in neon glow, its sign flickering like a heartbeat from another era—inside, you and your lover collapse onto a creaky bedspread patterned with faded roses, sharing laughter that echoes off chipped walls and stories whispered under the hum of a buzzing fluorescent light
WEATHER WHISPERER . the weather seems to very conveniently adjust to be perfect for driving and sightseeing
WILDFLOWERS . you collect the wildflowers at the pit stops and along the cracked blacktop of gas stations, because the prettiest flowers always seem to thrive outside of gardens
WINDCHIME FIND . you spot a rusted roadside antique shop and stumble upon a delicate windchime, its soft notes singing into the afternoon as you mull over hanging it on the rearview mirror—a gentle soundtrack for the miles ahead
WORLD’S LARGEST EVERYTHING . make a pact to stop at every “world’s largest” attraction on the way to your destination (i’m partial to the world’s largest peanut. sue me)

"At HarperCollins, a lot of attention and thought is given to deciding exactly what combinations of margin measurements, font, and layout feel most appropriate for the genre, and writing style.
But in a case of do-your-part environmentalism, designers at the publishing house have now standardized a series of subtle and imperceptible alterations to normal font style, layouts, and ink that have so far removed the need for 245 million book pages, totaling 5,618 trees.
Telling the story in Fast Company, representatives from HarperCollins, one of the four largest publishing houses in the world, explained that the idea first arose in Zondervan Bibles, HarperCollins’ Christian publishing division. Being that the Bible is 2,500 pages or sometimes more, saving ink and pages was not just an environmental consideration, but one of production costs.
A new typeface called NIV Comfort Print allowed Zondervan to shave 350 pages off of every Bible, which by 2017 had amounted to 100 million pages, and which, as Fast Company points out, would be four times higher than the Empire State Building if stacked.
The production and design teams then wondered how much they could save if they applied the same concepts to other genres like romance and fiction. Aside from the invention of the eBook, publishing hasn’t changed much in the last 100 years, and the challenge was a totally novel one for the teams—to alter all their preconceived ideas and try and find a font and typeface that resulted in fewer pages without being harder to read.
They eventually standardized 14 different combinations their tests determined were the most environmentally friendly, and which delivered an unchanged reading experience.
But the challenge didn’t stop there. Printed books, one might not know, are printed in large sheets which are then folded into sections of sixteen pages, meaning that Leah Carlson-Stanisic, associate director of design at HarperCollins, has to calculate the savings of space, words, and ultimately pages with the help of her team to fall in multiples of sixteen.
Nevertheless, they have been successful with it so far, and in the recent print run of one popular book, 1 million pages (or a number near 1 million that coincides with the 16 times tables) were saved.
“We want to make sure our big titles, by prominent authors, are using these eco-fonts,” Carlson-Stanisic said. “It adds up a little bit at a time, saving more and more trees.”"
-via Good News Network, April 4, 2024
--
Note: Great! Waiting to see this on the rest of their books and at the other big publishers!
Actually, though, it's worth noting that this may not come quickly to the other large publishers, because Harper Collins almost certainly owns that font - meaning that other publishers would have to pay HarperCollins in order to use it, on an ongoing basis.
More on publishing shit and more realistic solutions here below the cut!
What I'm hoping for and think is more likely is that this will inspire the development of open source eco-friendly fonts, which would be free for anyone to use. That would make it far more likely other publishers would adopt eco-friendly fonts.
I'm also hoping it would inspire other publishers to create similar eco-friendly fonts of their own.
Ideally, there would be a whole new landscape of (hopefully mostly open source) eco-friendly fonts. And/or to see calculations of the eco-friendliness of popular existing fonts, compared to each other.
If we could have a publicly accessible list of calculations for different fonts, including fonts designed to maximize eco-friendliness, I really do think that it would affect which fonts publishers choose to use. Here's why:
Most people in publishing are on the left (notoriously, actually) and really do care about the environment
People in publishing are plenty aware of these issues re: paper and trees, I promise
Shorter books means smaller production costs - and possibly smaller shipping costs as well, over time! So it would save them money too.
Eco-friendly fonts could also be combined with other measures for greater effect, such as bamboo paper (already in use for a lot of projects where page color/quality is more flexible) and thinner paper (aka paper with a lower weight) that uses less trees.
Don't expect books to all move to just one or two different fonts, though. Publishers and typesetters and font designers will innovate to create more options instead, though it will take longer. This is because different books really do use different fonts for various different reasons - one new font to rule them all isn't really a solution here.
"Every book is in the same font" may sound like a "whatever" deal to a lot of people, but as someone who works in publishing - trust me, it would actually make your reading experience worse, even if you could never quite put your finger on why.
