#also i wanna come out to my spanish teacher

[gh0stsp1d3r]

hiiii, could i request some tooth-rotting-sweet fluff with Miguel x reader who is latina and GREAT with children? tyyyy!!!

I tried to remember what I learned in Spanish class 😭 so please correct me if I’m wrong

Most of the spider society knew you. They all loved you, and they also thought it was odd.

He was always angry, and he wasn’t nice to anyone, at least that’s how some people saw him. But you, you were the opposite.

Peter B Parker was a spider man you were close with. You loved Mayday and often babysat for him when he needed it.

And right now out of all times was the last time he needed you to come in.

You met miles outside, Gwen introducing him. He even showed you some of his Spanish, and you tried to help him with some things as you both walked.

When you made it to his office, you rolled your eyes at his dramatic entrance.

“Miguel.” You shouted, he glanced back but didn’t turn fully.

“Miguel O’Hara, meet Miles Morales.” Gwen said.

“Qué tal, tío. I-I speak Spanish. Te traje una empanada.” He held up an empanada box.

You facepalmed at the boys words. Calling Miguel dude when you first meet him is a big no.

Miguel turned back, and brought the empanada to him.

“Que Marivilla.” He dropped the empanada and looked at you.

“See you’ve met my wife.” He grumbled.

“Wife..?” Miles said, a little confused.

“Yes, my wife. Who should be at home right now.” He snapped his head to you.

“Me aburrí.” You shrugged.

“Lo que vino aquí..?”

“Es decir sí, pero...”

He rolled his eyes. “You know what- nevermind.” And focused back on miles.

It was almost a game of good cop bad with you two.

“I’m really excited to get going-“

“Oh great.”

“-And I have some new fresh ideas on how to catch the spot-“

“Uh-huh-uh-huh.” He turned around, and in an angry rage, threw a metal desk at the floor. You shook your head and rolled your eyes.

“He’s worried about spot, I’ll worry about spot!”

“What did I do?”

“You blew another hole in the multiverse!”

“Miguel, he doesn’t know any better.”

“But you did Gwen. And you- I can’t- I just can’t.” He looked to Hobie.

“I ain’t even here.”

“Hey, Miguel, Go easy on the kid. He had a terrible teacher he had no chance!” A voice came. Peter.

You smiled and looked back.

“Peter?”

“Peter.” Miguel said in annoyance, turning around again.

Miles ran up to him and hugged him.

“Miles? Don’t be afraid of my friend Miguel, he just looks scary, he’s all bark no bite. Believe me, he’s a sweetheart.” He looked at you, you stifled a laugh and looked back to Miguel.

Miguel and miles talked, and caught up.

“Mayday.” You said, when she started swinging, she started to climb up the walls as you watched her. She then dropped into your hands. You smiled at her, and started to smother her with kisses as she giggled.

Miguel watched, as much as he hated Peter, he liked seeing you with children. You were great with them, random children in the store, and mayday especially.

You were even Maydays godmother, which Miguel tried to argue against saying it’s too much responsibility if something does happen but you practically begged. He smiled ever so slightly, but quickly wiped that smile away when he thought that someone was looking.

“You have a baby!”

“I have a baby.”

You laughed at the child, who then jumped out of your arms and swung over to Miguel.

“No puedo mas, no puedo mas, no puedo mas.” Miguel mumbled, rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration as the child climbed up him.

“Awww, I told you she likes you.” You smiled at Miguel.

“I knew I was gonna regret making her that webshooter.”

“Yeah, please never send her over to our house with them again.” You laughed. And remembered a few days ago when you watched her while Peter and Mj went on a date, with Miguel fuming as the child giggled and threw webs everywhere.

“Noted.”

“Hey you wanna see pictures?” Peter dropped back down and pulled out his phone.

“She’s right there- oh. Wow.”

Peter showed them pictures as she climbed up Miguel. Then Peter came over to Miguel.

“I’m trying to have a serious adult conversation.” He said, as mayday climbed all over him.

“You know spider-man is supposed to be funny, you’re the only one who isn’t funny. Even your wife is hilarious. It’s a wonder you two get along.”

“The fate of the multiverse-“

“You always lose me with that. You say the fate of the multiverse and my brain dies.” Miguel handed mayday back to Peter, glancing at you who was just looking in amusement.

“You smell that? Yup. Mayday took a crap. She’s a Parker.” Peter swung away, and set mayday down by Hobie.

“Miles, you disrupted a canon event.” Miguel focused back.

“Canon event?”

“The kid wasn’t thinking. That’s not how he works.”

“That’s insulting.”

“Taking a crap on the establishment, I salute you.” Hobie said, saluting Mayday.

“Wait, what are you upset about? I saved those people.”

Miguel dropped down. “And that’s the problem. Lyla do the thing.” He stopped.

“What thing?”

“What do you mean what thing- the information explainy thing.”

“He’s talking about the Arachno humanoid poly multiverse.” You said when Lyla looked at you.

Miguel rolled his eyes “Yes, that’s what I’m talking about.” And gave you an annoyed look.

“No me mires así.”

“Lo siento, amor.”

(Hope I’m using that right cuz from what I remember that’s how you apologize? Idk correct me if I’m wrong)

“You better be.” You mumbled as he continued his explaining.

Joining Station 19 and dating Andrea Herrera (female!reader) please?

Joining Station 19 and dating Andrea Herrera hc

Navigation | Station 19 Masterlist

Andy Herrera

When you joined Station 19, Andy was fresh out of her divorce with Sulivan.

You befriend yourself quickly with Travis and Maya. Who were also queer and sadly to you the only ones. Cause you may or may not found Andy incredible hot. But Maya broke your fantasy of dating this Woman, who is and I may quote super Straight.

So you tried to put the aadmiration you have to this woman beside. But just wouldn't leave your side. Andy wanted to be your friend and not just any she wanted to be close to you. But didn't even know why and it confussed you.

One thing Andy didn't want, was falling in love that fast again. But shit happens.

And this was more confussion than any other crush she had, who ended up to be boys.

She got this butterflies like when she crushed on a boy when you touched her arm unintentionally. Or when you smile to her. Once she wondered what it feels like to kiss a girl or better kissing you. As she couldn't hold it any longer for herself, so she talked with Maya about this. The blonde freacked completely out.

But Andy was not the only who felt this way. You also got little crush on her. It was the typical queer woman falls for straight woman thrope. So told your frustration to Carina, who also happened to be a close friend of your.

So with both Maya and Carina knowing you have a crush on each other, they played wingwomen. Both tried the other to build up the courage to ask the other out.

But nothing happened. You just couldn't believe that straight Andy isn't straight. So kept it all to yourself.

Your relationship started on a night shift. Both of you laid on top the truck the one where tey always lay on when something happened just don't know the name anymore

You both looked at each other, starring into each others eyes with glanced to the lips. This was the first time Andy felt confident about herself and sexuality, she doesn't wanna label.

So she was the first to lean in. You followed.

Your lips touched each other and started to move. The moment you realized what's happening you stopped the kiss and apologized and ran away. Andy right behind you.

"Look I'm so sorry for that. I know your Straight and-" She kissed you again.

This was just the start of a beautiful relationship.

You both went slowly with your relationship. The opposite of what Andy is usualy used too. Maya was confussed how the 'I fell fast and everything in my relationship goes fast' latina to 'let's starts slowly with everything'. It was your idea to go slowly. First of all it's your type of starting a relationship and it was Andys first relationship with a woman.

You helped Andy to find herself and to come out to her friends, family and the Station. Everyone was shocked but didn't make it a big deal. Sulivan was also there and her and you the best luck

Since this is her first relationship with a woman she's a little scared to do something wrong. But she quickly realized that there's nothing different.

You're getting invited to her families weekly park afternoon.

She's telling you about her family drama, the death of her bestfriend and father. When you first heard that, you didn't know what to say but just hug her.

When anything is in her life she goes to you and visca versa

She helps you with your insecurities

Going to Joes after day shifts alone or with the team.

Babysitting Pru together and putting her against Miller and Hughes

Since Andy lives with Maya and Carina and they time alone need, since they are married, Andy asked you if she could move in with you. Of course you said yes. You were happy that you both make the next step.

You always wanted to speak Spanish because it sounds sexy as fuck, so you found a teacher in Andy. Who needs a lot of patience.

She is always worried about you when you both are not in the same team. And asked Maya always to put you into the same team. Something she can do everytime, so still has to worry when your out.

You both would run into a building of fire for each other and fight everyone who gets in their way.

She fell fast, again. But this shouldn't end like her last relationship. She married to soon. She loved him but it looks like it was not enough. So she got a little scared. But you prove her everytime she doesn't need to be scared.

This relationship is perfect. The perfect dream she deserves. And she definitive wants to marry you in a few years. With no rush. Just pure love. And time.

brothers name= b/n

"Glee club there will be a new spanish teacher" principal figgins announced,

"Yeah what do you want us to do about it?" Santana asked the principal, "well this person is someone special to one of the member" you listened to principal figgins, as you were sitting in the cold chair, resting your head on santana's shoulder, when suddenly your brother entered the room.

"What!?" You shot up from my seat quickly since you weren't out to him yet, "principal figgins you can't employ him as the spanish teacher, i'm pretty sure he doesn't even know spanish!" You exclaimed, "well i took spanish classes as a chi-" you cut my brother off, "see what i mean he makes every aspect of my life worse!"

"Wow y/n i guess being attractive runs in your veins" artie said with a chuckle,

as santana looked at him with a glare. "Of course i'm the better looking sibling" we said at the same time, "what? Really cmon its me" you grin, "oh please. When i was here i'm pretty sure i changed sex partners as fast as flash could run" he scoffed, "wow you whore" you chuckle, "you slut!" He chuckled as your jaw dropped.

"Alright! That's enough y/n sit down." Mr schue said sternly, as i rolled my eyes and sat down, "i wanna get in on this its seems fun" my brother also sat down not to me thankfully, "that's what your sex partners said" you chuckled as his jaw dropped.

Skip to next week, we went to the auditorium,  then santana brittany and mercedes went up to the stage to perform, my brother was there with me and of course being the annoying bitch he was. He was gonna sing too.

Santana and brittany were the backups to greedy while mercedes sings. They were wearing very revealing shirts and you could see santana's abs, you didn't even notice that you were starring at her abs the whole performance. After the performance ended, you was still starring at her abs, she noticed it and smirked, and also my brother and kurt noticed it.

You felt kurt nudge your shoulder, you looked at him with a confused expression. Then santana texted me, she had texted me a picture of her abs.

Mr schue was saying something but and santana weren't clearly listening, you chuckle every time she sends you a text. "Who are you even texting? Your boyfriend" you heard your brother say on the stage as he was gonna perform, "or girlfriend" he chuckled as he saw your face, you turned to kurt, with wide eyes, as everyone soon snickered and giggled.  "is it becoming obvious?" You whispered and kurt nodded.

"What!? I'm not texting someone!" You defended myself, "you didn't deny..." he trailed off. "And plus i saw you looking at that girl's abs" he pointed to santana.

"What!? Thats not true" you tried to defend yourself, keyword; tried. you didn't want to come out to him yet since he would say all the embarrassing things from your child hood possible gay things, and lucky for him mr schue had left the auditorium to get something.

"Oh please i know you have a thing for brunettes, like uh oh! Jessica alba, sofia vergara, megan fox-" you cut him off, "ok enough" you stopped him, from embarrassing me further, you look down at my lap, "god. I knew it!"he cut himself off, then texted you.

Idiot of a brother💩🫶🏻(chat) chat=b/n regular=you

You have come out right? Are you even gay?

Wouldn't you like to know

And yes.

I knew it! So have you come out cause if not yet then i understand i won't say what i was about to say. And also please i want you to know that i support you in every way. And i will be here always for you. Just text or call me of you need someone to talk too. Even if i have work i swear i will do everything in my power to stop working and talk to you. I also want you to know that

i love you❤️

I know mom and dad weren't as supportive but i promise you i will be the dad that dad was suppose to be.

Yes i have come out.

I knew it! So what about her cmon tell me the tea.

What don't you have to perform?

Nah its fine they can wait. So what's up with you and that Latina girl?

were dating. Eight months and happy. She makes my day better. And i'm happy about it obviously.

Awww i can't believe it. My lil sis has a better love life than me. Well i have to perform now

Then he looked up from his phone and put it in his pocket, "i knew it! You're as straight as the shape of the earth!" B/n exclaimed. (Circle the earth is circle.)

"Wait so y/n's flat? I mean she doesn't look flat, her boobs are-" b/n cut puck off, "what are you about to say to my baby sister?" He glared at him while artie grabbed some popcorn from god knows where.

Anyways. he was next to you so.. you grabbed some and ate while you two watched the scene unfold, "i-i didn't i-" puck stammered, "exactly. Know if i hear you or any of you say that again about my little sister. I will not hesitate to punch someone, expect for the girls i know y/n likes that" he warned puck and walked up to him pointing a finger at his face. then chuckled when he said the last thing.

You choked on the popcorn, "alright so what is happening?" Mr schue entered as he saw the scene, "whoa whoa, i left for 5 minutes what the hell..." mr schue trailed off, b/n went back to the stage to perform.

After school there was a glee meeting, most of the glee kids were still in class. You were going to the choir room when you saw, b/n and santana in the choir room talking.

"So tell me. What are your intentions with my sister?" B/n asked with crossed arms,

they haven't notice you yet so you watched the scene unfold, but fortunately for you artie had finish his class, he wheeled next to you watching the scene unfold too, and magically he had popcorn.

"My intentions with her is to make her the happiest woman in earth. And protect her from the miserable world, cause she deserve's the best, cause she is the rainbow in everyone's life." Santana explained as your heart fluttered at what she said.

"Hm. Good enough. Now tell me when are you gonna propose to her. will you ever propose to her?"

"I will when w-were uh- when were 25?"

"Eh good enough. Now please, don't hurt her feelings, if its one thing i know about y/n is she's sensitive, if she ever hears something bad about her from a person she loves. Well she'll hate you for the rest of your life." he pleaded,

"Of course" she nodded,

"Now, tell me what y/n hates on a person"

"Well she hates, messes, germs cause she's a huge germaphobe, dirty rooms, touching dusts, people telling her to shut up, people trying to control her energy, also when people bring up that she has adhd, i know because she once told me that: me having adhd isn't important its not like it my whole personality." She explained, your heart fluttered as she said those last words.

and you never noticed that the rest of the glee club were behind you and artie watching the conversation.

"Then what are the things you like about her."

"I like how her eyes light up when we are talking about astronomy, and also when we have arcade dates since she likes arcades despite of how it smelled. her smile whenever we i win her a big ass teddy bear whenever wear at the fair. oh! Our fair dates arcade dates picnics and our movie nights. based of the things i said you should probably know that she begged me to take her on those types of dates. cause she always says

y/n l/n never asks out someone on a date. her eyes, her hugs, her kisses."

'her taste her boobs her neck her thighs her moans her whimpers her everything' santana thought to her self.

You felt yourself tear up a little when you heard it, "aww tana you big softie!" You exclaimed entering the room to kiss her, you wrapped your arms around her neck, as hers went around you waist, "hermosa! Did you hear everything?" She exclaimed startled, she called you one of her nicknames for you in spanish, forgetting your brother spoke spanish.

"te amo pretty girl" she whispered kissing you once again, "¿Quieres ir y tener una noche de cine?" You looked at her with a puzzled face, as she forgot that you couldn't speak spanish well, "wait could you say that again just slow down" she chuckled, "would you want to have a movie night with me hermosa?" You nodded quickly before kissing her again,

"alright as much as i love you sis, i gotta go and mark some test papers, será mejor que la trates bien." He said the last thing to santana, "prometo que la trataré bien" you looked at the two with a confused face.

"ugh bye idiot" you rolled your eyes,

"Bye! Bitch" he said playfully,

Then santana lead you to the chair, sitting on her lap.

After school in santana's room, you laid on santanas chest watching a movie, her hands on your back, while yours were just laying on her stomach.

"Te amo, hermosa" she said softly.

"je t'aime aussi chéri" you knew she loved it when you spoke french, its just how you said it so *chefs kiss* and then in the end you thought her french.

The end

A/n for the french and spanish i used google translation, so if its wrong then i'm sorry. And i know its really bad but i just wanted to post something, so uhm here you go. And uh i'll be posting more. 1953 words..... jeez... anyways! Stay kinky!❤️❤️

Hii

I would like to leave a request, if it's not to your liking kindly ignore.

Could you please write a short story or headcannon about like um so it is vil and readers anniversary and the reader decides to write a song and present it to him on the anniversary.( you set my world on fire by loving calliber ,this song is just so sweet, pls (๑˃̵　ᴗ　˂̵)و ) I feel all mushy listening to this song.I am not sure what category to put it in whether it's headcannon or story I leave it up to you.

Thanks in advance, have a good day. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

You looked at the number on your cell phone calendar, which marked the coming of that long-awaited day, a day that filled not only you, but also your recent partner with joy and love…

And that same day it was generating horrible anxiety in you just a week before arriving. Your anniversary with Vil.

It's not that there was anything wrong with your relationship, quite the opposite. Things couldn't go better, you even had your doubts about the reaction of his fans… yes, there were ups and downs this year, but nothing could corrupt this beautiful union that you had with your Queen.

What generated so much anguish…was what to give him. Obviously, material goods aren't everything in life, but we are talking about Vil Schoenheit, one of the most coveted models in this world.

What can you give to a person who can practically have everything with the snap of their fingers?

“A tiara?” No “A new makeup set?” No “A Chinese robe made from the finest silkworms”…too expensive for your pocket. Nothing that came to mind from the ADeuce duo was helpful or completely convincing.

The sun was setting 3 days before the long-awaited day and your anxiety only increased. You already considered it lost, you weren't going to be able to finish anything that you could do manually with the amount of homework that the teachers left; Anything you bought online wasn't going to arrive on time unless you sold a kidney; and the type of gift they sold at school…

They couldn't even put together the name of Vil. No offense Sam

Early Thursday morning, two days before the anniversary, spending time in Magicam, with dark circles that reached the ground, you came across a video of a couple singing a duet to a beautiful and melodious song.

Ding

You got out of bed at full speed, searching the entire bedroom up and down for a guitar, or something that looked like it. Not finding it, you decided to go to the music club first thing in the morning to borrow one.

And that's how those two days went, practicing in your free time, without any sleep schedule, in order to learn and vocalize a song that came from your soul, reflecting your love for the tall blonde.

When the expected day arrived, you sent a message to Vil. “Wait for me in the Pomefiore gardens after class, in our special place.”

The same place where Vil had asked you to start dating, the same place where he asked you to be his partner, now where you would spend your first anniversary.

Nerves of steel.

When Vil arrived at this romantic spot, carrying a small, elegantly decorated box, he found a scene straight out of a love movie… and with an angelic melody.

I lose my breath whenever I see you

In front of him, a path of petals of different flowers: white peonies, forget-me-nots, violet tulips and red roses; a potpourri that ended in the shape of a heart

You stole my heart, what is it that you do?

A Spanish guitar ringing in the air, as well as a soft violin in the background.

Just wanna be with you 'til we grow old

Your figure in the middle of the heart, holding said guitar, with a speaker from which the wind instrument came out, dressed in an elegant navy blue suit, with floral details embroidered in gold on the hem and violet stones adorning the sleeves.

My life was gray 'til you added colors

His violet eyes never left yours, hypnotized, glassy, threatening to shed the occasional tear.

Like the moon needs the sun, we don't care 'bout the others

Vil sat on the small mattress of flowers that you left for him in front of you, still holding the small box, eagerly waiting to give it to you.

I want you for myself every single day

As a cliché, you knelt at his height, both of you facing each other, without stopping singing at any time, although noticeably running out of breath when you reached the end of the song.

You set my world on fire

With the song coming to an end, both of you facing each other, just one centimeter away from kissing, your lips curved into a big nervous smile, waiting for the response from the person you admired so much.

There was no need to search for words, a sweet and tender kiss from Vil was more than enough for you to know that the song was much more than to his liking.

He'd loved it; one of the best gifts he had, which was nothing material, but came from the heart and soul.

And speaking of gifts, yours was still waiting to be opened. With your hands a little trembling from the nervousness of singing in a pseudo-public space, with the love of your life, you opened the small heart, finding a little tiara, matching Vil's along with his uniform.

Now you could demonstrate your relationship to the public eye.

BǍO BÈI, MON AMOUR AND... BABE, I GUESS??

➳ request: Can I request Finny, Baldroy, Joker, Snake, and maybe Dagger with a multilingual fem s/o? I speak English, Spanish, and French irl. Bonus points if you incorporate pet names in either of those. I’m thinking along the lines of some nice headcanons.

➳ character/s: finny, bardroy, joker, snake, dagger

➳ warnings: swearing, perhaps butched pet names from other languages, generally butched arabic (baldroy), french (joker), spanish (finny), norwegian (snake) and german (dagger) because i don’t speak anything but english

➳ notes: woww that’s really cool that you know how to speak other languages, i’ve always wanted to be fluent in something other than english and i used to learn mandarin, but i hated the teacher at school and dropped the subject asap lmao

𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 / 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭  / 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 / 𝐰𝐢𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭  

──  𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐘.

infatuated

he thinks it’s super cool

and hot

now he gets creative for pet names for you

he goes beyond the classic babe, baby, sweetheart, doll etc

now you gotta suffer with sweet cheeks, toots, sugarplum and all that cheesy gross shit

but he gets which language mixed up all the time

he probably messes up the pronunciation as well

it’s ok, he’s attempting

he often notices that you’ll speak arabic when you’re tired or frustrated

“habibi... come to bed.”

but also when you’re thinking of a word and it only makes sense in the languages you know

it’s fine, he thinks it’s cool

and funny because accents between languages also change

all in all, very impressed

──  𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐘.

literally gets the anime sparkles in his eyes

as if you could get any better??

constantly asks you to speak your other languages

asks you for the names of basic household items in that language

“what’s bed in spanish??”

“la cama.”

“oh my god that’s so cool-”

but then you bamboozled him with another language

and he then discovered you’re multilingual

because he caught you speaking cantonese to lau

and he thinks you spoke, like, gaelic one time

he’s not sure what the languages are but it’s COOL

he definitely butches some of the words

most of the words

but it’s the thought and effort that counts

──  𝐉𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐑.

what a little charmer

he would tease you for keeping this from him

and would also want to learn 

he probably has caught you just mumbling to yourself in french

wants to learn french because stereotypical romance

but also to eavesdrop-

sometimes he’ll just stick his head through your tent ‘door’ and go

“tu veux venir te promener avec moi?”

and you’re left wondering how he knows to ask you for a walk of all things

you both use ma chérie and mon chéri

it’s the most basic one

but it does the job

as a joke he suggested you speak your other languages as an act for the circus

you said no because it’s not really that circus-worthy

but maybe in future it’d be a funny gag

──  𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐄.

silent admiration

emily and keats are more vocal about it

if he has snakes from the countries which language you speak they now cling to you, they’re yours now

they don’t leave you

he will probably learn easy words when he wants something but doesn’t wanna say in front of EVERYONE

“klemmer?”

“awww, yes hugs.”

the whole circus cannot interpret norwegian at all

nor can they understand korean or swedish

but they all think it’s a fun gimmick

because you’re extremely multilingual

his face was like :000

when you asked a foreign guest who didn’t speak english

‘what language would you like me to speak?’

because damn

what a badass that you can just whip out a language and speak it fluently

──  𝐃𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑.

in love even more

if that’s possible

you’re just so cool ;v;

he won’t lie

it sounds like gibberish at the start before you teach him

the only thing he can possibly interpret is your tone

even then

he’s fucked if you speak a language that naturally sounds aggressive

because he’s gonna think you’re PISSED when you’re asking if he wants potatoes or not

“liebling, give me cuddless”

“LEE BLING??”

he can’t for the life of him try to imitate you without sounding offensive

so he doesn’t

he just admires you from afar

and from close by

Ramble about my day today + Photos

FACE REVEAL BELOW IF YA DONT WANNA SEE, KINDA VENTY AT SOME PARTS

Morning was about the same, but it looked pretty as always. Cloudy sky's, humid air, the sound of crickets. I saw my friends cat outside her house this morning so I pet him again and even took a video of him I posted a while ago. I ended up taking the bus like usual, listened to some music on the way, took some photos, and when I got to school, I just ended up having Gatorade again for breakfast as my friends talked and also complimented my new haircut./lh

(One of them said I looked like a Victorian woman lol)

(New haircut—)

Psychology came once again. I got kinda scolded for having my headphones on without realizing, but it's fine kdndnsn. I didn't have a dream last night, so I fortunately had nothing to write down for my assignment regarding my dreams this day. We ended up just having some light hearted banter though, and were told to write about something we like and why. So.. I ended up writing a (technically) two page essay about spooky month that I finished in like fifteen minutes. And then just spent the rest of the time playing roblox on my phone during advisory because the site I use to work on Geometry stuff was being laggy.

Spanish came around after—and we didn't get much done, but we kinda just went over the stuff we're gonna be doing to help us learn for the subject itself and weren't able to go over a story in Spanish our teacher was gonna read us. I also said hi to my Geometry teacher during the beginning period of second period, and my Spanish teacher complimented my haircut./lh

Chemistry came around, and not a lot happened aside from filling out a bunch of notes and cutting out stuff we're apparently gonna use later. But it was fun since I was able to listen in on some funny conversation, and also one of my friends only just now noticed my spooky month hoodie./lh

Technology came around. We're supposed to be coming up with concepts for an animation movie, so I wrote a concept for an animated movie where the main character is a sassy sarcastic easily anxious female cashier who gets isekai'd into a stereotypical fantasy world (the cashier is inspired by Kevin kdndndn). I finished rather quickly, so I spent the rest of the time working on the Hot To Go comic.

Didn't do much for lunch, aside from play roblox and eat some chips while my friends talked. They were saying some pretty bad stuff though like usual, so I kinda tuned em out. I know they're just teens like me and act all edgy and will one day learn their lesson, but Jesus fucking christ it's really hard to remember that sometimes. The only reason I haven't said anything about it is because I'm scared of what they might do to me if they don't take my concerns that well.

English came around—we read our books for a little while, and ended up playing a somewhat stressful but rather fun game where we have to circle a bunch of tiny/giant numbers on a paper in order. And my team ended up being the winning one. We weren't able to read the book we're supposed to be reading cuz of how long the game went on for tho.

Theater also came around—where we were all grouped up into four, and because my table had six, I split up to a different table with this guy, his partner, and some random dude. The assignment was to do our skit, and our prompt was someone being pulled over by a British journalist (changed to a cop for our skit). We weren't given enough time to prepare so we had to improv, and I was the British oddly gruff uncomfortable police officer who basically interrogated this guy as his cat just wondered around the car. We played 'Freeze' during the last minutes of class, and I got to change the three 3 times—with the scene changes being me as a arrogant classist person accusing someone of not being good enough for their daughter, a Disney channel bully, and an eldritch crab entity that growled and chased people around. The random dude I partnered up with said I was just too good for everyone since they kept kicking me out like a few seconds in and seemed to find me funny.

Geometry was kinda boring as per usual—with me just working on different Geometry stuff online as my teacher sort of bothered other people in an attempt to be friendly and ended up just arguing with some random student because he accused him of 'doing nothing all day'. And he also started getting really political for some reason. And going on about how much he loves America.

The last period was World History, where I joked around with one of my friends and finished an assignment I was working on with him. Then we filled in some notes about what we learnt so far, but we didn't have much time left, so we're just gonna be working on them tomorrow.

..today was kinda meh.

@spouseoftherisingsun thank youuuuu for tagging me ily toooooo ♡♡♡♡♡♡

okay questions:

when was the last time you cried?  oof. listen,,, you can't come at me out the gate like this.  i don't cry very often and it might have been years since the last time.  it's not something i'm proud of and i have tried to like meditate and stuff when i'm in a down mood to try and get myself to cry and have that physical release.  it doesn't really work.  i did dice two white onions last week so i cried then

do you have kids?  no!  and i don't have any kids in my life right now either.  kind of missing it.  i need a toddler

do you use sarcasm a lot?  yup.  but when i'm not doing vocal inflection on purpose i have a very flat affect so sarcasm doesn't always come across correctly, or genuine statements come out as sarcastic and then i have to clarify

what sports do you play?  i was on the swim team for ages in high school.  it's still my favorite way to exercise but it is a little time-consuming… i guess not any more than going to the gym and showering after, though?

what's the first thing you notice about people?  personal style; if someone's wearing something unusual i Will observe and will usually comment on it

what's your eye color?  brown

scary movies or happy endings?  happy endings.  i Dont like scary movies and i avoid them most of the time.

any special talents?  there's nothing i'm excellent at but i'm better than average at a handful of things.  i'm a jack-of-all-trades and i'm kind of getting comfortable with that…i am weirdly good at debates though, i once persuaded a white supremacist that ethnicity is designed by (the christian) god (this was a multi-stage intervention and i can't take 100% credit but i did a good amount of the heavy lifting)

where were you born?  h-town coming down

what are your hobbies?  languages (spanish french korean japanese), reading, singing, ukulele, keys

do you have pets?  i'm a cat aunt <3  tiki my love

how tall are you?  5'7" in the morning

favorite subject in school?  honestly, i loved school.  i liked the whole thing.  but math was my favorite subject, along with physics, spanish, english when i had a good teacher, and history

dream job?  i don't dream of labor – in my heart of hearts want to be a traveloguer or a tom scott or some bullshit that lets me get on a plane.  i just wanna go somewhere man

tagging @too-many-rooks, @jonathanrook, @celestial-nights18, @newathens, @cluelesscher, @dumbkiwi, @blackgwenstacy, @dykeseinfeld, @allcountersarehipheight, @weekend-conspiracy-theorist and if you've been tagged on this before shhhhh no you weren't and also i'm sorry lol

and anyone else who wants to do the game tell 'em i tagged you <3

[goat-shoe]

ok, i Rant time

ive been reading this fic Knowing itd be a mess and im just... ive had it with this characterization! aimless rant below ^^;;;

tw for bullying, harassment, abuse, homophobia

so a lot of highschool AUs are just..... Bad? like LOL sorry :x but. youre taking away everything interesting about the miraculous holders, And youre trying to make Fully Grown Adults into children. ??????

n e ways, i found this highschool dropout au,,, im Sure you can guess how i feel abt dugout and tiderdrop together, but personal biases aside (its Icky to me and someday ill figure out why)..... lets read this fic.

(to prove i am Not taking things out of context, heres the whole fic)

FIRST of all, youre ognna notice that the prose is Boring, written in long and uninspired runon sentences. i dont wanna just bash on an inexperienced writer, but if youre gonna be this lazy about it.. who is it for :x

second, headcanoning mariquitas name as the Only spanish name you can think of that starts with "mari"? is just uninspired. mariquita wouldnt Choose a hero name so obviously close to her Real Name.. again im not an unmasker, but this headcanon is ridiculous....

finally, and most importantly.... "he sighs wearily". umm, No actually. he Doesnt. you dont even get an insight into dugouts thoughts other than "im nervous about school >m<"

Needless to say, this and his whiny, whimpering demeanor is incredibly infantilizing,. Furthermore in this context, all it does is plays into the ""yaoi"" trope of a big buff bad big boy x boy who says uwaaah! (i hope it goes without saying, this is Not a condemnation of boys who say uwahh, yall are doing gods work and ily)

cramming tigerdrop and dugout into this trope comes off as (and actually is) incredibly homophobic and harmful. need i remind you, these are real people. i wouldnt be surprised if this author was a fujoshi or something too :x

anyways.

im a dugout fan Because hes reserved, but in this fic, thats being watered down to him just being sad and whiny.

its just so insulting to be written shrugging every 3 sentences. dugout im so sorry theyre doing this to you ;;;

guhh. ill give them points for this cute relationship with mariquita...

but again, the prose is just.. clumsy. and again, all dugout does is whine about change. its not even a realistic portrayal of adjustment disorder :x

speaking of disorders Lol,

we Know how i feel abt tigerdrop, but i tend to actually like fanfic portrayals of him.

but this one is just... Confusing...

(also we have mandatory "describe their entire outfit in vapid detail" LOL i should have made this a bingo)

i havent really been talking about the plot, but heres what it took the author two chapters to get through:

dugout it new in town, hes nervous about the changes. (we dont even know why he misses home??? just, make it up i guess, god forbid a fanfiction Make That part up!!!!!!)

tigerdrop has lived in new york all his life, and he appears to be pretty bored with life (ex: pushes pipsqueak over just because he thought itd be funny, no doubt an allusion to the canal street incident last july)

his characterization is actually really confusing and i think its supposed to be like, Alluring??? but its just disconcerting :x

thats It. Two established characters and empty conversations with others (the mariquita mischaracterization especially drives me up the wall ever since i confirmed my kin with her)

they meet in math class when dugout unknowingly sits in tigerdrops seat..... girl, Literally no one in high school acts like this.

at this point, this fic is no better than glee and the millions of other incorrect and careless portrayals of highschoolers. tigerdrop has some weird banter with the faceless teacher (yet Another reason i hate most highschool fics)

:/ i Kinda saw it coming, but....

tigerdrop apologizing and not meaning it? In character. But, hes just acting like a greaser, and its Weird

dugout wouldnt care! he would not look like "a deer in the Headphones."

i Realize the author doesnt have a beta reader but :x that doesnt excuse pawning off lazy work btw, in case anyone was wondering....

last but probably Most important: this is setting up such a toxic dynamic. tigerdrop is actively pushing the message that dugout is taking up too much space and he doesnt belong. its alienating and shitty. and this is a fic Shipping Them :x

but i Clicked on a dropout fic, so.... should i be surprised :/

like i said. dugout is Already afraid of him.. his body is reacting just to the sound of his voice, not unlike trauma in PTSD victims!

like. guh. this is literally so toxic. also..

take a shot every time you see the word "smirks"

lips ghosting his nose And ear? Lol.....

likely The Worst way to incorporate their miraculous personas :x reading this literally made me nauseous.

anyways.... thats all of the fic thats been posted so far. so to summarize: this is just Icky. its even worse, setting this kind of relationship in their high school years :x imagine if someone treated you this way! youre Not gonna grow up and marry them.

i Cant even.

~ ty for reading <3 ~

[wackus-bonkus-maximus]

Wackus I know this isn’t really ML-related but I’m gonna get my first experience teaching kids this week and I’m soooooooooooooo nervous. I used to be really good with kids but it’s been ages since I interacted with one properly and I’ve never taught in a formal setting or anything 😭😭😭 I’m so scared I might accidentally say something too strict and make someone cry or won’t be able to hold back a laugh if someone makes a silly mistake and then hurt their feelings and I’m terrified I’m gonna traumatise them for life okay the PANIC is REAL. Do you have any advice for a first time (mid-qualification) teacher?

i do! i have a LOT!!

for context, i have taught elementary school, ages 5 - 12, grades K - 6 for 5 years. (yes i have taught every grade within that range, long story). however, this advice applies universally:

no matter if you're student teaching, staring a new teaching job, or just working in an after school program, the most important thing to remember is, they're JUST kids. they might have attitude, behavior problems, whatever. bottom line is, a kid just wants to be cared for and kept safe and educated, and that's what they will respect you for!

let's make a list, teachers love lists

set your expectations/ consequences for meeting or not meeting them. this is what we do first thing every school year, every monday, every time we start something new. AND HOLD TO THOSE EXPECTATIONS. practicing routines and procedures will make things run way more smoothly.

rely on your coworkers. those ppl are there bc they love kids and love their job, and are in the same boat as you. comiserate with them. plan with them. ask them for their wisdom. the better relationship you have with the other staff, the more resources you get for support!

strict routines. try not to switch up rules/ schedules too much. you'll find anything sets the kids off. a frikin full moon will set them off. a windy day, a rainy day, a spider. literally anything. keep schedules regular, keep transitions quick, and rules universal. keep them trained well to ensure your days go smoothly.

attention getters. they're all gonna wanna talk to each other and not pay attention to you. i teach in spanish so i say, "hola, hola" and they reply "coca cola." my english colleagues say "class class" and the kids reply "yes, yes." if i want my class to verify their understanding i say "capishe" and they reply "kaposh." if i say "waterfall" they say "shhh." these will save your life dude and there are billions. pick your favorite and roll with it!

rewards/incentives. there are also billions of these. i use class dojo, stickers, tickets, anything i can whip out and give them to the kids for instant reinforcement. think puppy training. they need IMMEDIATE praise or IMMEDIATE castigation. for more severe cases you can say "i am going to think of a consequence for you and tell you at the end of the day." they stay real quiet from then on.

affective statements. "i feel happy because you are showing me respect by keeping your eyes on me." "i feel frustrated because you are choosing not to follow the rules." kids need to know you're a person with feelings too. they're always so shook to find out you are human too, and they respect you more for it.

tattletale box. make them write out their grievances against each other and put it in your mailbox. they get writing practice and they leave you alone OR they just forget about it entirely. it's a win/win.

"I’m so scared I might accidentally say something too strict and make someone cry" <- you will do this, and they will get over it. i make my kids cry every day. those kids i am the strictest with, who i make cry the most often, are the ones giving me hugs at the end of the day and telling me they love me/coming back to see me the next year. do not fear! as long as you are coming from a place of love, they will love you too.

"won’t be able to hold back a laugh if someone makes a silly mistake and then hurt their feelings" <- you will do this too, and they will get over it. i make fun of my kids regularly for their silly mistakes, but all in good fun. it actually models for the kids how to joke with each other in a positive light, and what to NOT get butthurt over. like i said, as long as you are coming from a place of love, they will love you too.

"I’m terrified I’m gonna traumatise them for life" <- you are NOT going to traumatize them! the resilience of a child is one of the most amazing things i've ever seen. i can tell just from this that you're a person who cares about kids and wants the best for them. a person who teaches with that mindset is a person who is fated to positively influence them.

i've made looooots of mistakes. i've gotten angry emails from parents, the principal, bad reviews and low test scores. i've also had kids come back and tell me how much they learned in my class, had parents tell me how much their child loves me and misses me as their teacher, and had kids say they wanna grow up and be just like me.

you are gonna be okay. they are gonna love you because you love them. you're gonna be soooo tired and stressed out. you're gonna laugh your ass off. but one of your students is going to tell you thank you for everything you taught them, and then you'll cry and hug them and realize you're in the right place. pink promise 💕

here's a picture of me as a cat princess to motivate you

[7ndipity]

Happy 2k!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I'm loving the ship game! If you're on, I'd like to try it as well 🌿✨🧡

94 liner like you, Joon and Hobi. Virgo sun, cancer moon, cap rising with uranus and neptune conjunct. I define myself as an anarchist/ communist. I'm ace but not strictly but usually yeah.

I studied linguistics and literature. I've been an astrologer, an editor, theatre teacher assistant. Now I'm a writer, researcher and translator. I speak fluently 3 languages - Portuguese, English and Spanish - and I know the basics of Korean. Still wanna learn Italian, french and arabic. I research how different social medias change out perception of the same image. My next project will probably be what's perceived as "aesthetics" on the internet.

I'm really into linguistics, philosophy and art's philosophy. I think it's insane how we're able to create meaning. I also never take anything seriously. Everything is at least a lil bit funny. I LOVE how we perceive absurdities as normalcies, I kinda collect insane stories because of this.

I love hearing new music. My favourite genres are brazilian popular music, bossa nova, light sambas, jazz, pop and hip hop. I guess I read a lot but I always say I don't know how to read cause I hate how reading is perceived as a virtue. I'm way more a poetry girlie than a prose girlie tho. I love watching comedies and I refuse to watch horror (I'm really scared of everything!!!). More of a series girlie than a movies girlie. But I find really hard connecting with animation. Only studio ghibli for me (pom poko is one of my favourite movies). I like stories about revolutionaries in love with two people at the same time but more in love with the revolution.

I draw and paint to relax. I have a series of alien snoopys in the forest that is really special to me. I love love love snoopy.

Physically, I'm 1m68cm (I don't get american measures), white, curly dark blonde hair, blue eyes, big boobs, big thighs, some belly. I'm 100% dopamine fashion and only wear sandals, even in the winter. I dance hip hop and dance hall. My favourite colours are orange and yellow.

My friends say I'm very charismatic and that I have a lot of friends/ know many people. They say it looks easy for me to make friends, but actually it's kinda hard. I have anxiety, adhd and insomnia and being around people is very energising and exhausting at the same time. It's hard to keep a balance. I'm patient until I loose it. And I have A LOT of strong and crazy opinions on random topics. My friends say I come of as super secure of myself, but I'm like 69% secure lol. I do love talking. And I really really really value my friendships. But the most important thing about me is that I'm always tired. But I'll smile and entertain you every time you come around

I would ship you with Yoongi, Namjoon, and a bit with Hobi and Jin!

You have a lot of similarities to both Yoongi and Joon, and as a Pisces and fellow Virgo, they would be very well matched with your energy. I feel like they would both find your work really interesting, and appreciate you ability to keep things from getting too serious(also, idk why, but I feel like Joon would be into blondes)

I also feel like Jin and Hobi would be rather drawn to your energy as well, Jin’s said before that he’s allergic to seriousness, so he would love your approach to things.

Hope this was okay💜

2023 language goals

I'm updating my languages for 2023 - I'm mainly focusing on improving my Korean and French and learning as much as possible. Plus: one new language

Korean

I want to take the first TOPIK exam this coming year, so I will have to prepare myself for it. I got a huge book on Korean grammar for Christmas and my plan is to learn all the contents. I will also find myself a teacher though, because I honestly feel like I won't get as far as I'd like to the way I'm self-studying right now.

French

Obviously I want to keep up my As in school, but honestly I don't think I have to be very careful because it's usually not a problem. Instead I will try to be ahead of my class at least a little bit so I can fully focus on Latin while in school (which is more of a problem lol)

For non-school studying I have set a goal to read at least one full book, it's probably going to be Harry Potter or Le Petit Prince. I also want to immerse myself more, meaning watch more movies or shows in French (I still haven't seen Lupin), maybe have more French conversations with my mother. Also, I am likely going on an exchange to Orléans in early 2023 (my exchange partner is coming in January or February already. If anything works out, that is. There might still be complications) Generally, I hope to achieve a proficiency of about B1. I won't take a test because that feels like too much trouble (and money, I think), but just...generally that area of proficiency.

Other than that, I have also made changes in my plans for my exchange year which is supposed to happen in 2024/25. As there are only few organisations which have Korea in their programme - and those who do are too hard to afford - I have decided to go for Thailand. I hope it will work out, for real, if I end up staying in Germany the entire year I will likely cry every day because missed opportunites and what not. Anyway, these news are the reason I have decided to pick up some Thai basics, at least. I mean, I take what I can get but I wanna keep the bar low and not expect too much of myself for a change. These are my 2023 goals for Thai:

Thai

First of all, I obviously need to learn the alphabet which...might even take me the entire year. xd For real though, I will focus on that first and then try to find a good textbook which can kind of guide me through it all. Because this language seems so complicated, I don't even know where to start

There's some nice shows to watch for immersion though..

gae:)

please don't stop reading I swear I will stick to the topic now

As for my other languages - Norwegian and Spanish - I will be maintaining those. I have Spanish in school so I will be putting about 2 to 3 hours per week into it anyway. To maintain Norwegian, I will TRY being more active on Duolingo again (because let's be for real, the Norwegian course is actually quite effective and it has given me so much let's take a second to appreciate that) and perhaps even do some more units of my textbook which I have, I admit, been abandoning for quite a while now. Norwegian in general, which is sad because it was my first language love :( Well, I got a week calender with pictures of Norway for Christmas, maybe that will serve as a motivation boost. Like for French, I also want to read at least one Norwegian book to the end in 2023. I have one in mind that the Norwegian teacher at the university gave me when I had my one-day internship there

Wow. I hope I will be able to achieve these goals by the end of the year. I seriously have no idea if it's too much or little because this is the first time I've EVER done something like "good resolutions for the coming year" or whatever it is called. But I recently saw a quote.

Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star. — Clement Stone

Not only does it sound very nice because of the connection to astronomy and space, it also reassures me that sometimes it's okay not being able to do everything or one thing just as well as the other. Small progress is also good progress, especially when it is aquired in a constant pace.

And with that, I'm wishing everyone who happens to be reading this a happy new year and good luck with your goals! You're doing great.

Fun fact: In Germany, we wish each other "einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr" at the end of the year. It literally translates to "a good slide into the new year". Honestly, I think it's a bit funny. I hope you have one though. :)

[pugs-cats-bb-8]

P3 Reload Part. 2

Mystery burger?

"Maybe I'm not as charming as his sandwich". 🤣🤣

The game gulits you into spending time with your friends. 🤣🤣

"Stunt their growth". That's why I never open any invitations that I don't intend to take. I fear it's going to cost me points. Is that true for 5? 🤷‍♀️don't know, but don't wanna find out.

I thought Akihiko's food was knitting. 🤣🤣 I can see him picking up knitting.

He kinda cute. I like his bangs.

Fancy cafe.

Your teacher is also your nurse? Is the school low on funds?

The message for the rank isn't going up this time makes it seem like you've hit some kind of block.

I swear they changed the story.

I miss 5 where you can just shoot stuff.

Are we inside an alien? Egypt?

Golden Hand's evasion is sky high.

I miss hearing the Persona names every time you changed. That's how I learned to pronounce them.

Did they redesign the enemies?

Looks like Marie in the end game.

Splitting up is how you get picked off.

I like this dude. Is this Toshiro when he was in high school?

Why do I think Ikutsuki's going to push you off the roof?

Does Japan have massively hard exams or is everybody just stupid? Like if you know a test is coming up, study! It's not that hard. I hardly studied and I passed. Then again, I remember stuff or am able to bullshit most stuff. 🤷‍♀️

I don't think Kenji's on the same page as the teacher. Also what is up with people being creeps? Like you can have a crush on your teacher, but you never cross the line. I don't understand how anyone could have the balls to ask out someone who is at least 10+ years older than them while they're a minor. Your ass, their ass and the school's ass are going to get burned. You're going to end on the 4 o'clock news. 🤣🤣

We had a teacher do that. Our high school Spanish teacher. Not my Spanish teacher, the other Spanish teacher. (We had three Spanish teachers. It wasn't mine and I had a different one in 10th grade. So it had to be the other). It made the news. My school always makes the news for bad shit, hardly ever good shit. 🤷‍♀️ Serves them right.

"More than you do" 🤣🤣

I don't think a teacher called a student "a loser". Not unless Kenji has my 10th-grade Principals Of Chemistry teacher, who used to swear in class.

Orphans.

He ate an Odd Moresal? I wouldn't even give that to my friends.

That voice doesn't match the model. (Bitter-looking man, English).

I've heard about this link.

I think I know that voice.

That's cool, Gurulu.

"That's not very nice". Says the dude who breaks into the room.

I like Bebe.

You can tell this game is old. Computer programs 🤣. I remember those.

You get to go out after that? In 5 you'd be confined to Leblanc, which isn't that bad since in Royal you have a good amount of choices even if the game keeps you inside.

Miyamoto reminds me of Ryuji if Kamoshida never happened.

There's other people in the door.

The hell it isn't.

I love how the teacher covers it up. 🤬🤬

Damn, she survived that long in Tartatus! Wouldn't she need to eat, at least one meal?

I love how it only runs the washing hands sound and not the bathroom sound.🤣🤣

I don't think now's the time to flirt with Yukari.

Morgue🤣🤣 It be funny if the school had a morgue, kinda creepy too.

You have to pay to scan the shadows? Was it like that in the original?

The nurse is a bit weird but cute.

Poor Miyamoto.

[sunny6677]

Okayyyyyy—sooooo ramble about my day first before the kinsona ramble!

I woke up on time (thank god—seems my prayer from last night to Apollo worked), took a bath as per usual, and drew a bunch of stuff this morning like I normally do before messing around on just a bunch of different apps until my normal time to go to the bus came. So I went down there while listening to some witchcraft playlist, took some pictures and saw my friends cat, but I didn't get to pet him. My half sisters dad made me kinda stand in front of his vehicle just to kinda keep me safe from any other passing cars that were coming to the same stop—and not a lot of kids were really on today including my friend. So the ride to my school was kinda quiet, but mainly filled with me drawing and listening to music.

Got to breakfast and drank some Gatorade as per usual while just messing around on my phone. One of my other friends wasn't here today either. It was the friend who got kinda angry from last time. Honestly, I was a little relieved he wasn't here since I didn't wanna think about how he screamed again.

Psychology—we got there, and I didn't get to do my drug PSA, so my teacher randomly switched my topics to Shrooms. And within a few minutes actually (I made a few corrections requested by the teacher though) I was done. I think the class must have liked it considering two students complimented me, and they were quiet during my presentation. During Advisory afterward, I just messed around on my apps again and played some Roblox.

Spanish—we just played a little game where the teacher asks us questions in Spanish about a story we read (the one about Wilson the Dog)—and we have to answer in Spanish on the board we're given (each team member is made to go sit at a stool in front for their turn and write on the board). My team ended up having the highest score though despite some of my teammates overthinking and uncertainty (we got a score of 108).

Chemistry—not really eventful tbh. We just sort of took a short test which I didn't do that great on, but I just cut some stuff out afterward that we're gonna be pasting in our journals soon. My teacher also complimented my Spooky Month hoodie. I'll be having to finish this review I didn't finish soon though.

Technology—we had a substitute who I dont particularly like because he was rude to me last year simply for asking if we could go in the school, and I was a bit anxious he'd act rude with me again, but he was mainly distracted by his own class which was just sitting in there with us so I was fine. We were given a site to learn how to tween, but I couldn't figure it out, so I just animated regularly and though a bit choppy, it turned out pretty good. And then after hyping myself up a bit, I played Roblox and then drew that Dipper picture afterward.

At lunch—I ate a bag of cheetos and drank some coca cola while playing roblox. But my friends were kinda goofing off the whole time, and at some point started giggling a whole lot cuz of this waluigi ass sound one of them made on accident. And said friend started talking to this other friend about how they think Waluigi is inside him, which caused two of my friends to start giggling like maniacs./lh

Then English came—I came in sort of earlier compared to the other students, and after putting away my phone to charge, I read during our usual silent reading time. Then after our time was up, we read the Monster book that we're currently reading, and then I sort of got to work on this story thing afterward which was just a challenge limiting how many words in sentences you could use. It.. ended up being about me going to a Taylor Swift concert with her boyfriends friend flying me there in a helicopter, and then her proceeding to brutally murder me with a knife after murdering everyone who went to her concert. Then I just kinda watched Spooky Month on my computer after since I had nothing better to do.

Theater swung by—we're apparently getting ready for an actual play now, which is called What Could Go Wrong? I'm going to be playing one of the three main children in the play, and I don't get much lines. I kinda wanted to be the main gal or this other character, but I was too afraid to speak up or ask so someone else took the part. We did a reading of the script. It was a bit awkward but it was fun. And the plays actually funny so it was nice to read over.

Headed to Geometry after. It was less overwhelming since three certain people weren't there (one of them being my friend who snapped last time)—and I was able to work on my Geometry notes in silence. We'll apparently be moving to a different site now for learning since it's more helpful. And tbh, it IS more helpful. I can work on my notes without being confused whatsoever. And my teacher annoyed me less too so that was fun. Still kind of annoying to hear all the other students loudly chatter tho.

And for last period which is world History—I sorta rushed through this test from last week and then did these notes on Ancient China. We didn't get to finish em all today, but we'll be finishing em tomorrow, and I gotta finish these other notes I didn't fill in cuz of the test I did during class. Was a treat to talk and joke around with the teacher tho.

Aaaand that's kinda it.

Photos I took today:

[jemwolf]

Because I'm feeling nostalgic, I'm gonna share some old art today ehehe

These are the covers for a couple of stories I wrote back in elementary school! I used to write about my dogs, Tess and Elphie, (and later also my turtle, Freddy II) being secret agents for class every time an assignment let me get away with it.

I *mostly* remember the plots for both if anyone would like to know them lol. If I had to guess, these were from first and fourth grade, respectively.

I remember in these, Elphie could speak Spanish because she was a Chihuahua, and I would ask my mom to translate things for me to write in them

Apparently, I attempted to redraw the second one at some point; from the art style, it looks like sometime in high school? I would guess freshman or sophomore year.

Kinda wanna redraw both of these again tbh.

And finally, I also made a 'series' of comics with my dogs (and my piano teacher's dog, Precious); though I only made like 4 iirc. They weren't secret agents in those, tho, they were just supposed to be funny. Idk if I've saved all of them (I made a special folder and everything to put them in lol) but I did find this one!

I remember one other one (but don't have a photo) where Tess and Elphie kept having weird dreams and couldn't find out why they kept falling asleep, and the punchline was that they were in the cargo hold of an airplane (a few therefore it was implied they'd been given sleeping pills I guess??)

Anywho. Thanks for coming on this trip down memory lane with me!

It sure is the new year & somehow im still tired and way busier than i would like. So uh. Sorry this took me a bit to get to. The first time i read your response i thought you'd said you were watching bocchi which confused me because you had already. But im glad you are enjoying bofuri. She's such a chaotic disaster character. Ohh i think i feel you on that my brother in law & i have like. Opposing autism vibes & coexisting with him when we share apace is exhausting. I hope school is going well for you! Yeah like. Honestly sometimes ill chat with people at a theater but mostly just. Please do not. Im just there for a film. Love the communal effort to just. Understand your teacher what a time that must be. My parents did teach to cook a bit. I learned spaghetti & a basic taco recipe from them. But i learned a lot from there so i had a bit of a spring board to go off. I hope you have a fun time learning to cook stuff i enjoy it immensely. Even with all the dishes it can make. Honestly schools are just. Weird if anything. Liminal space adjacent but in a way neither good or bad. Im sad i missed getting to pull her i want ruan mei but due to bad storms my internet was out, which also contributed to late response, for the last days of her banner. So i have to save for her re run. I am so normal about her & stelle(lying). I finally finished the argenti quest but had to level & gear himeko & welt. Got kafka on my console account from her banner & it gave me e1 bailu when i hoped for clara. Ohh so its like a character growth/change type thing. As the story progresses & they change they gain new herscherr forms. I think if my understanding is right. Or right as it can be for something not fully explained? I miss manaria & the gang already. Can only tide myself over with other villainess shows til it returns. Or i read more. Dungeon meshi at least has an airing anime adaptation now which means i can see my favorite fail girl marcille in animation. I will remember that & look to the community for help as needed if i pick noita up thank you for the tip. I too want himeko to be fine & alive so i sympathize with the hi3 fans. I dont remember if she's getting off on penacony or not if thats been said. But penacony definitely has some characters i want. Oh okay damn i always wondered about her floating. So thats one mystery solved. Wait seele has just. Basically a good dog aura? Oh so kiana mei & bronya have the most extensive lore? What about uh. Durandal? I feel like ive seen that particular polish phrase before whats it mean?

HI HELLO its been 20 years which im SO FUCKING SORRY about...... my life has decided to just Not give me a break recently. and understandable akdfkgjksj i should really continue watching it but ah.... so busy. and Tired all the time. actually got to skip school today bc i was so sleep deprived i thought i was sick but then i slept for another 4 hours and i feel so much better now. should be studying [have 8 exams coming up until the end of february.......] but i also Need to chill for a bit. agghhh. and oh understandable!! it really is just like that sometimes. school, as i said, is. psychologically torturing me but im actually not in that much pain so yeah!! and thanks also. i hope my teachers let us catch a break soon. at least ive recently picked up baking to destress so at least im not about to become the joker. and REAL LIKE i also dont mind talking with people in public places from time to time but i usually just wanna mind my own business. and yeah its SO funny but also im surprised how nice all my classmates are about helping others. like. if we had to cooperate to create a message with my old classmates everyone would just instantly start making fun of each other for not knowing something. OOOH COOL....... when i have more time i should learn to make some spanish dishes. went to gran canaria with my mom recently and god ive missed their cuisine SO much. god yeah schools are like another dimension to me ngl. they work based on different rules then the rest of the world. AND AUUGHGH PAIN...... good luck with getting her on future reruns tho!!! same with being Totally Normal. and hey congrats on all that!!! i also ended up doing argentis quest and luckily didnt have time with fighting him thanks to clara who makes it extremely easy. generally shes always carrying me. finally got to trailblaze lvl 65 and i only have my clara team at lvl 80 rn so i should probs work on kafka etc but i hate grinding mats...... hell on earth. oh well. and yeah more or less!!! tho it also depends on the person and circumstances, as some people will get new authorities, some will kind of. get closer to their current one? and some people might even give up their herrscher authorities with time. but yeah honkai loves to retcon itself so its kinda blurry sometimes. I MISS EVERYONE TOOOOOO and i started watching reborn as a villainess some time ago but ah. didnt have time to continue. i ALSO started watching dunmesh and ALSO didnt have time to catch up with it but im SO excited for it bc ive only watched 3 eps but love it already. if you ever Do pick up the game then good luck!! its as brutal as it is fun to play. himeko protection squad forever....... i should finish penacony when i get the time and motivation. wasnt too interested in any chars at first but acheron stole my heart....... so would sparkle if she wasnt so Racist for no reason. yes seele Does have a good doggy aura SHDKFJKS even The Great Herrscher Of Sentience cant say no to her. shes so sweet and i love her. and yeah basically!!!! since theyre effectively all the protags, even if kiana is the "main" one. AND I WILL VERY EXCITEDLY TELL YOU LITERALLY ALL DURANDAL LORE AS I KNOW IT BY HEART BUT ALSO LITERALLY DONT HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO WRITE IT ALL DOWN RIGHT NOW SO ILL TRY TO GET THAT DONE BY YOUR NEXT MESSAGE. so well both have time to write our respective stuff. and oh polska gurom is a misspelled version of polska górą [since its pronounced almost the same] which more or less means poland on top. its used ironically most of the time and i LOVE saying it

Pops and I walked up the driveway to the Sero household, since he picked me up here last time, it only made sense he dropped me off. We didn't even get the chance to fully knock on the door before two little girls swung it open. They looked identical for the most part, both with long black hair and my friends eyes, the main difference being the one on the left had her ears pierced.

The two looked stunned before slamming the door back in our faces. It opened again to show Sero Himari, Hanta's mom, holding the twins on her hips.

"Hi! It's nice to see you again Tsukare, you must be his dad, please come in." She greeted us cheerfully. "Sorry for the mess, these little heathens like to run amok playing games." Pops waved it off with a smile and we followed her inside.

"It's alright. I'm Hizashi, it's nice to meet you." Pops said with a bow.

"Hey, hombrecito!" Sero greeted and pulled me into a hug before turning to Pops. "Hi Present Mic!" His voice was clipped and I almost laughed at how stiff he became.

"Hanta, you're fine, he's not here as your teacher." He nodded once and rubbed the back of his neck before he got tackled by a toddler.

"Hey Hinata. You wanna say hi to one of my friends?" He asked as he scooped up the little boy. All of them looked so similar.

"Hi." Hinata said in a soft voice.

"Hey kiddo." He smiled softly and buried his face into Hanta's neck.

"I don't know how you manage, my spouse and I only have two and have our hands full with their schooling sometimes. Let alone four." Pops said in disbelief and awe, I could tell he missed having little kids in the house despite how happy he was. He told us he always wanted a big family.

"Ah, I have six. We have Hinata here, who's four. The twins, Hana and Hikari, they're seven. There's Hiroshi, he's eleven. Then obviously we have Hi- Hanta," she swiftly corrected herself and sent him a small smile, "and the oldest is Hinami. She's in her early twenties and has already moved out." Pops and I looked at her with wide eyes as she rattled off all of her kids. "Sorry I got a little side tracked, Hanta told me you wanted to talk with me or my husband before Tsukare spent the night?" Pops nodded and I tugged my duffel a little closer to me out of habit.

"Yeah that would be great."

"Hiroto! Come here please!" I turned towards the sound of footsteps and saw a man with dark brown, salt and pepper hair come around the corner. "Honey, this is Tsukare's father, Hizashi, he wanted to talk to us before he spent the night."

"Of course! It's a pleasure to meet you! What did you want to talk to us about?" Hiroto asked but stopped, the realization coming onto his face. "Wait, you're Present Mic, wow. This is, it's an honor to meet you!" Hanta patted the older man's back.

"Dad, don't make this weird please. He's one of my teachers." My friend mumbled and Hiroto nodded, clearly still processing.

"No worries, I get it all the time. It's part of the job. I wanted to make you both aware of some things, just so you're not caught off guard at any point. Onryo has to take several medications in the morning, he's usually good about taking them himself but if you could check to make sure he didn't forget, that would be great. He also has hearing aids, so if he doesn't respond to something said to him, he might have them out. He can read lips, so mostly he just needs to be able to see you when you talk." The parents looked shocked at the statements, a look I was expecting.

"Anything else we should know about?" Himari asked softly.

"I know spanish." I popped in after, earnings surprised looks from Himari and Hiroto. Pops ruffled my hair with a smile.

"Would I be able to exchange phone numbers with you both in case of emergencies?" He asked beside me.

"Yes, of course. Let me go write them down for you." Himari said, swiftly moving into the kitchen, coming back out with a sheet of paper. "Here you go, I wrote down our house number and our personal cells." She passed it to him delicately and allowed him to punch in his phone number to her cell.

"Perfect. Thank you both. Onryo, have fun." He pulled me into a hug that I happily reciprocated. "I love you, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Love you too." He gave me a final squeeze before leaving.

"I didn't know you were the child of a pro-hero Tsukare! Is your dad who you get your quirk from?" Hiroto said excitedly. I awkwardly rubbed the back of my neck, not expecting any of the attention to be on me.

"Uh, actually I'm adopted, it was more just a happy coincidence that we have similar quirks." He looked shocked but smiled, clearly excited about this.

"That's amazing. H- Hanta, would you mind showing him where to put his bags?" Hanta nodded and gestured for me to follow him as he set Hinata down, the four year old running off to play with his sisters.

We walked the unfamiliar path to Hanta's basement, both of us plopping onto one of the couches in sync.

"Sorry about my parents, they're still adjusting." I looked at him curiously.

"You don't have to apologize. It takes time and they're trying. When did you come out?" He stared at the ceiling beams intently as he thought.

"Well, I wasn't ever feminine, so my parents weren't exactly shocked. I came out two years ago, we went to therapy and stuff and they're doing a lot better then I thought they would. The twins were younger and Hinata was two so they took it the easiest. Hiroshi still struggles though. He was nine when I came out, he's okay with it but he doesn't like change. Hinami took it the best, she's been my number one supporter outside of Denks."

"And Hinami is.. your older sister?" He nodded, silently confirming.

"Yeah, she moved in with her fiancé about three years ago." I nodded, still shocked at the sheer size of his family. "So what's new with you?"

"Not much, we found out who my birth dad is." Hanta shot up and looked at me like I grew a third head. I slowly sat up and faced him.

"Dude! That's big news! Why aren't you freaking out?!" I shrugged again.

"I don't know if I want to meet him." I said as if it were the simplest thing in the world.

"That's.. fair." He mumbled and laid back down. "No update on you and Denki?" I raised a curious eyebrow and shook my head at his teasing tone. "Really? So he doesn't call you if he needs someone to fall asleep on the phone with?" I blushed bright red and shielded my face with my forearm. "Oh he tells me everything, amigo, he's been my best friend since the start of middle school. Just like how I know you tell Shinsou or Midoriya everything."

"Fair point. But Toshi doesn't count cause he's my brother." He hummed, going to say something until we got called upstairs.

Denki, Kiri and Mina all stood in the entryway taking their shoes off, Mina was dressed in a pair of black shorts and a pink shirt, Kiri wore a muscle tank and cargo shorts, while Denki looked great no matter what he wore. Even in his simple white t-shirt and bleach wash ripped jeans, a few bracelets and his necklaces, he looked breath taking.

"Hey guys! This is my mom and dad, Hiroto and Himari. Mom, Dad, that's Kirishima Eijirou and that's Ashido Mina." Everyone greeted each other but Denki and I silently took glances at one another.

"It's so cool how everyone's name starts with an 'H'!" Himari giggled at Mina's burst of excitement.

"We did that on purpose. Neither of us had ever been too fond of the whole 'junior' and 'senior' thing, so we decided to stick with the first letter. Hiroto and I were so happy when Hanta chose his name and he stuck with the same letter." Himari said while holding a hand to her chest.

"Alright, mamá, I think they get it." He awkwardly laughed. "I'll show you guys where the basement is so we can drop our things off down there before going to the park. Denks, your board is still in my room if you want to go grab them, plus my spares." Denki gave him a thumbs up with a big smile. "Kiri, did you bring your board?" The red heads face matched his hair.

"I remembered my vans, but I forgot my board." He admitted sheepishly.

"Uh, Onryo, you wanna come up with me to help me carry the boards? Kiri, longboard right?" Kiri nodded and I quickly replied.

"S-Sure!" I followed behind him up the stairs, following the blond on the familiar route to Hanta's room.

He grabbed a board decorated in stickers, one decorated with lightning bolts and another undecorated. The plain one was longer then the rest and by the name, I assumed that one was Kiri's, the other two were easy enough to figure out who belonged to who.

"Do you plan on skating today?" I rubbed the back of my neck and shrugged.

"I already told you I don't know how. So probably not." I dismissed, fidgeting with my fingers.

"And I already told you," he said in a low tone as he stepped closer, brushing a stray curl out of my face and making me look up slightly, "I would teach you how one day. So I'll teach you. Yeah?" His warm breath fanned over my face and I was thankful for the slight sunburn I got yesterday to hide my rising blush.

"Okay." I whispered, not trusting myself to talk any louder. He smirked down at me, his hand slowly tracing down my face to run his thumb over the apple of my cheek. I could've sworn he sent me a wink before he turned but it was probably just a trick of the light.

"I'll grab a regular board and a penny board just in case." I nodded, dumbfounded and unknowing of anything having to do with that. He turned and saw my confusion. "I'll explain it all later. Let's get back down before they think we're doing something else." My eyebrows furrowed at his insinuation, growing even more confused.

"What would they think we're doing?" He looked down at the floor with a smile and a shake of his head.

"You're too innocent sometimes. Never mind." My face scrunched together as I tried to figure it out but gave up and helped him grab the boards.

He grabbed two in one hand and one in the other, I grabbed the other two on the floor awkwardly and followed him back down the stairs.

"Hey Tsuka! I grabbed your drawstring for you, do you have everything you need in there?" I paused mid step and ran through my mental checklist before nodding. "Okay so we're ready to go?" We all agreed, got our shoes on and started walking to the park, each of us carrying a board.

"Hey Onryo!" Denki called as he jogged up beside me. "So what do you know about skateboarding?"

"Uh," I gestured to the skateboard I was holding, "this is a skateboard." Denki smiled and shook his head.

"So, that's a penny board." I looked at him confused, not knowing the difference. "Okay so, this," he gestured to his board, "this is a skateboard. The one you're holding is a penny board, the size itself is smaller but the wheels are bigger and a slightly softer rubber. So Kiri has a long board, it's in the name, the wheels are pretty much the same as a penny board, it usually just depends on how you like to stand when you skate. So, those are typically made more for cruising, just riding around, skateboards you can do that too but it's a different feel. With the wheels on skateboards, they're better made for the ramps and the tricks that you hear about and see." I nodded and subtly looked at the wheels, seeing what he meant. They were different.

"Anything else?" He turned his board over to show me more of it.

"So these metal bits holding the wheels are called the trucks. Depending on how tight they're in place depends on how easy it is to turn and stuff. And the bumpy stuff on top that feels like sand paper is called grip tape, it makes control and balance easier. It's literally a grip." I nodded in understanding.

"I like how you decorated it, it looks cool." A small blush came on his face but I blamed it on the heat.

"Thanks. Aren't you kinda warm? It's really hot outside." I shrugged and brushed it off.

"I'm not that warm. I'll be okay." I told him with a small smile.

"You're wearing a hoodie and shorts, and the hoodie doesn't look thin. I just don't want you overdoing yourself in the heat again." I contemplated his words and what my family would say.

"Fine, I'll take off my hoodie once we get to the park." He looked ahead and looked back at me.

"Well, then get ready to cause it's right there." I looked forward and saw a skatepark, the cement fixtures giving it away. On the outskirts there were a few pavilions and tables and in the far back, there was a small play structure for smaller kids.

It was pretty empty, only a few other people wandering around but aside from that, it was just us. We grabbed a table, setting all of our things down before anything else.

"Hey Sero, do you happen to have a spare shirt?" He gave me a sarcastic look.

"No, not at all. I don't bring extra things and snacks and drinks because I'm not the big brother friend." I let out a small laugh at his sarcasm and nodded. "Do you want a black t-shirt, a white tank top, a green t-shirt or a blue t-shirt?" My eyes widened at his options.

"How do you make all of that fit in there?" He pulled his bag on top of the table and it thunked. "What do you have in there?"

"Uh, I have an extra pair of pants on the bottom, three bottles of water and three gatorades on top of that to keep them cool, a few bags of fruit snacks, cookies, crackers, a bag of chips, the four shirts and a few things of emergency deodorant. Then the front pouch has spare chargers for each phone type, two pairs of extra earbuds, a few fidget toys, bandaids, neosporin, travel size peroxide, a swiss army knife and a dual port charging block. The side pocket has a reusable water bottle and the other side pocket has pens, pencils, pocket change, a small notepad, sunglasses, travel size sunblock and travel size bug spray. Then the very top pocket has my mini tool kit for the boards." We all stared at him in disbelief, jaws dropping at the confession. "Back to the question at hand, what shirt do you want to wear?" I nervously fiddled with my fingers, still not fully comfortable having my scars on display.

"Dealers choice?" He smirked and tossed me the blue shirt. I took a deep breath and pulled off my hoodie and long sleeve in one go, hurriedly throwing the t-shirt on. Hanta let out a low whistle only to get his arm slapped by Mina.

"Next question, Kiri, you wanna be my emergency fake boyfriend today?" Mina asked happily.

"Hell yeah!" Kiri jeered while clashing his fists together.

"Okay, now the real question, are you gonna try skating today?" Sero turned and asked me. I looked at Denki, still unsure but he was already nodding.

"I guess?" Sero gave me a thumbs up with his triangle smile.

"Alright, you guys can go have fun, I'll chill with Mina for a bit." He said and shooed off Denki, Kiri and me.

"You ready to learn?" Denks asked me and I shook my hand back and forth.

"Eh, still kinda worried about getting a major injury but I'll live if that happens. I think I'll just watch you first." He sent me finger guns, set his board down and got a running start.

I watched contently as Denki rode around the park, sliding down a few short railings and jumping down steps. He did a few flips on his board and did a cooling lap before he got back to me. The whole time, he looked majestic.

"Ready to try the basics?" My eyes widened significantly at his words.

"If those were the basics then I think I should sign my death certificate now." He laughed whole heartedly at my comment and pulled me up by my hand.

"No, those weren't the basics. The basics are learning to trust your board and finding your balance." I took a deep breath but nodded, still nervous about learning how for some reason. "Hey," he looked into my eyes, his warm hand intertwining with my own, "you trust me?" I took a shaky breath, really wondering if I trusted him but he never gave me a reason not to. So I nodded. "Okay, let's go over to a flat slab." I allowed him to guide me over there while still holding my hand. The spare skateboard now placed between us. "Okay, now step onto it. If you feel like you're gonna fall you can just grab my hands. I won't let you fall though."

"Okay." I whispered and stepped up sideways. The instability instantly punched me in the face and rather then grabbing his hands, I grabbed onto his shoulders. His hands latching onto my waist as we simply stared at each other. "I don't know if I'm coordinated enough for this."

"Onryo, I've watched you spar with your brother, I've seen you stick the landing of a backflip after hanging upside down, you've jumped across rooftops. You can do this." I took a deep breath and nodded. "You okay?"

"Yeah. So what do I do from here?" He smiled up at me and it made my heart melt. The sunlight hitting him just right and illuminating his features.

"Okay, I'm gonna walk around to the front of the board, and you're going to move your right foot to rest on the center of the four screws." I nodded and watched as he angled himself at the front so he was still holding me, my hands moving onto his bracelet covered wrists for support. I looked at him a few times and tried to find some semblance of balance as I shifted my foot. As promised, he didn't let me fall. "Good job. Keep your back foot to the side or angled, that's how you turn. Try it out, if you put more pressure on the left, you go left, and vice versa." I hesitantly shifted my weight, slowly starting to feel a little more comfortable with this. "Alright, we're gonna start slow. I'm gonna walk around, guiding which way you go, if you're turning, tell me and I'll follow. Make sure every now and then you put your back foot down on the ground so you can get used to kicking off."

"Okay, I can do this." He sent me a bright smile and slowly started guiding us around.

As told, I made sure to tell him which way I was going to turn and I put my foot on the ground. We probably circled around the same concrete rectangle at least three times before he had his next idea.

"Alright. I want you to skate to me." My eyes shot wide open.

"What?"

"Hear me out. I'm gonna stand at the other end and you're going to skate in a straight line to me. I'll make sure to stop you. If you veer off course, then just jump off the board."

"Okay. I'm trusting you.." His face lit up, he gave a reassuring squeeze to my waist before he jogged to the other end.

"Whenever you're ready! Kick off and don't shift your weight!" I gave him a thumbs up and tried to remember how I got myself in this position.

'Right. It's because feelings are stupid and I like seeing him happy.'

I kicked off before I could talk myself out of it, pushing off a few times to have a steady speed. I let out a few happy yells, the tiny bit of wind felt amazing and I felt relaxed despite all of my anxiety. Denki cheered for me as I gradually got closer. His hands landing on my waist again to steady me, my hands flying directly to his shoulders.

"You did amazing!" He exclaimed. I took a few deep breaths, laughing through them despite my efforts with a wide smile glued to my face.

Only then did I realize our chests were almost touching with every breath I took. My heart raced in a good way, my brain extremely aware of where our hands were. I looked down into his golden eyes, enamored at the view before me. And without realizing, my eyes jumped down to his lips and right back. I went to take a step back to avoid the situation I just created, the skateboard flew out from under me and instead of landing on concrete, Denki lifted me up and set me down on the ground. Our noses almost bumping against each others from how close we were.

"Told ya I wouldn't let you fall." His voice was low, like it was in Sero's bedroom earlier. I nervously licked my lips, my eyes darting around his face since I didn't know where to look. I thought I saw his eyes flicker down but I wasn't sure and I didn't get the chance to find out since Kiri called me over to let me know my phone was ringing. "Go get it, it's probably important." I wanted to say something but came up blank and nodded.

I checked my phone to see Hitoshi called me and sent me a text saying if our Dad knew how close I was to Kami he would probably flip. Confused, I looked at my friends and Mina's cheeky smile betrayed her.

"I may or may not have gotten some cute pictures, and I may or may not have sent them to the group chat." I quickly looked and saw that she took several pictures, one of me sideways on the board, one of Denks guiding me around, one of me smiling, and finally, after I accidentally knocked the board away. "You guys are so cute! And Ei interrupted what could've been your guys' first kiss!" I shot her a look and she quieted down, realizing how loud she was.

The red head gave me a sympathetic look and a pat on the shoulder before he took off with his long board.

We spent a few more hours at the park. Mina and I sitting on the swings for a bit, I found out I prefer penny boards more, Sero wiping out mid flip, and Denki and I constantly entering an awkward tension. Eventually, we went back to the Sero household and ate dinner before going back to the basement. Nothing could've prepared me for that.
