one of my friends are in ur server. constantly being ignored. they talk a fuckton and u guys just choose to ignore it because you have a friendgroup on there that nobody gets in to. all of the minor characters ( that meaning in the show, ones who probably only signed up for said char because all the other ones were taken ) seem to get thrown away for all the plots started. they take screenshots of that server too.. so i see everything. and you do realize that some ppl probs have mad anxiety (1/2
and are rlly afraid of asking ppl for plots?? so what do you do, then? they were really happy to join an rp group, get stomped on and ignored, and are too socially awkward to actually do anything about it. they get kicked out for inactivity or whatever you guys do with ghost blogs, etc. that's shitty. side note: please don't call me a chucklefuck in your chats. im right. 💕💕💕💕💕
a ps ) mods. mods with status. all of you are fuckin queen bees, i guess. as well as a few ppl who play major chars in 1.a ( ie shoto, kami, baku ).
hmm alright.
-we can not do anything if you don’t speak up about it. if your friend felt ignored and they had come to us about it, we would have been able to do more to make them feel included. the server itself realistically has over 50 people on it. we can not control how other people react to your friend. you may also need to re-evaluate just how much your friend perceives the server because of their anxiety, as most of the regulars are 1) very welcoming to new people/each other and 2) are not aware that they have felt that way and would have done anything they could to change that, should they have known. because, again, a lot of them are very accommodating, but none of them, myself included, can read your minds.
-and i’m going to say it again because you and your friends can’t seem to get this no one can read your mind and you don’t talk about it with us we can’t do anything to help you. i understand you have anxiety. most, if not all of the server, has some sort of mental illness. if that is the reason you can’t speak with us, that’s valid, but it’s not an excuse. you can not try and use your mental illness against us because that is not fair. lots of us also have traumatic backgrounds. i’m someone who suffers from schizophrenia, among other disorders. we understand. we will accept you. but not if bullshit tactics are used against us because that’s not fair to us, and if you’re not going to be fair to us, there’s no way you can accept similar treatment towards yourself. that’s just not realistic.
-speaking of realism, realistically you need to talk to people to get things you want. also realistically, people are not required to give you what you want, if you ask for it or otherwise. i don’t know what you’ve come across but maybe consider the feelings of other people as well.
-there are plenty of minor characters right now that have plenty of plot. here’s a convenient list, because i see you’re keeping up with the server/blog but not enough to actually realize this! understandable! so, off the top of my head, inasa, seiji, sen kaibara, kamakiri, intelli, rei todoroki, bakugou’s parents, etc etc, they all have complex plots because they’re being active in getting them. there are plenty of others (au characters especially included) who are on that same level or getting there. there is also, of course, plenty of accounts that ARE being more neglected, and this is something that i’m about to go on about in an attempt to lessen this but i also can’t stress that if you are feeling neglected it is LARGELY based on the activity of your blog.
-speaking of which! and i’m sorry to tell you this, but activity is a requirement for most organized rp groups. if it’s something your friend isn’t comfortable with, a more lenient group may be more for them. the rule about activity isn’t a punishment, it’s to make things fair for other rper’s who want to put the work in on a character you are otherwise neglecting, for whatever reason! we have a lot of people interested in joining the group who might have more fun with it, and also might be able to deal with the pressures of owning a rp blog better.
-if you are not active on your blogs or in the discord your character will be ignored because people can not read your mind and if you are NOT active they will NOT know that you are available for interaction. this is a fact.
-activity does not mean asks, it does not mean plots, it means post on your blog at least once a week. i can’t stress how important this is BECAUSE:
-a good way to try and get interaction and try to get plots if you have anxiety about it is to make open threads.
an open thread will allow other characters to interact with yours without the need for plotting beforehand. however, please know that no one is required to answer an open thread, especially if they can’t find anything in it that vibes with that particular post. thus, the more open threads, the more opportunity for interaction you have!
we also now have the groupchat discord, which has allowed for VERY easy plotting and should be utilized more for minor characters who are struggling to fit in. the problem with minor characters (which we are aware of) is that they usually don’t have connections with characters that can allow them an easier time integrating into the group. again, multiple of the minor characters have found some good grounding doing just that.
-everyone needs to consider the feelings of other roleplayers as well and try and reach out just as much as they are asking people to reach out to them.
if you can not reach out, please consider the other two options ie. open threads or the group chat.
-the inactivity rule is also pretty lenient, we are not nearly as strict on it as we probably could be. also, if there is a personal issue that is keeping someone from roleplaying, all they need to do is contact one of the mods and they will receive an approved hiatus where they can take the time they need. however if this is not communicated we can not know that there is something wrong and we will assume disinterest and claim the blog back.
anyway since you’re still receiving screenshots, i assume that your friend is still in the server! wonderful! i’m sure you’ve also been privy to a lot of out-of-context screenshots, which is lovely. i hope you’ve also been sent a few on the matter being discussed now within it. i won’t apologize for the members and how they are handling this because i can understand their reactions. while i’m not hurt by these messages, they’ve hurt other people. there are plenty of vastly more mature ways this matter could be dealt with. again, if your problem is with certain people, you could have messaged me or the other people involved... since all you’re doing by contacting this blog is contacting me or most all the people you mentioned in your previous ask, through far more roundabout means. anon messages without context are always going to be taken more harshly, which means it’ll be even harder to find some sort of solution, if you’re actually looking for one.
which, honestly, it doesn’t sound like it.
so, again, i encourage you to message my blog if you’d like to continue this! i’m fine with continuing it here though if you’re more comfortable. just know that you are actually kind of in the wrong here, haha. the problem may not be the group itself and may just be your friend being uncomfortable with the usual rp format that a lot of people are either very well-versed in, or are currently learning alongside each other.
again, i’d like to help if i can, just stop being such a brat about it. if you only care about your friend’s feelings and not the feelings of the people in this group, i can’t fault you on that. i really only ask for maturity on an issue that really doesn’t need to be as extreme as it currently is. thank you!
PS: thank you for pointing out the people you have a problem with! it’s completely unfounded and also unfair considering this is, again, 1) very common for mods of characters with main roles 2) not even accurate because quite honestly i see plenty of the minor characters having just as much if not more plots than a lot of the main characters, just based on activity and the schedule of the mods. and THAT is honestly none of your business, lol, but again, that’s something i’m sure most people would prefer you talk to them about rather than vagueing them in a public setting

Paper Airplanes and Face Masks (Hournite)
Tumblr media
Summary: Beth has Rick over for the night and is determined to get him in a face mask.
Warnings: Mild allusions to abusive gardian.
Category: Fluff
Note: this is my first attempt at fanfiction, please leave your thought about it below:)
Training lasted longer than usual that day. By the time it was over, the sun was already saying goodbye and slowly receded to the west. Pat had tried his best to make the obstacles more difficult in an effort to mirror what he believed was to come in the battles ahead.
The new JSA tried their best to work with and without their abilities, all while trying to work together as a team. It was challenging to say the least, not many of them had much experience working with others.
Curly blonde locks stuck to Courtney's face as she asked Yolanda if she needed to be driven home. The other girl thankfully accepted the offer before running off to grab her things.
Pat, hearing he was now driving Yolanda, went to the next girl who had no mode of transportation.
"Do you need a ride?" He asked Beth who faced away from him, her eyes instead on the boy leaning on the entrance of the building.
"Oh, no thank you." she replied sweetly.
"Okay, just make sure to get home safe." the man instructed, making his voice loud enough for the boy to hear him as well.
Rick turned his head to Pat, giving him a single nod before pushing himself off the wall and walking out toward the road.
"Will do Mr. Dugan." Beth replied brightly before briskly walking in the direction of the boy, goggles slung around her neck, the straps of her backpack gripped in broth her hands.
She found him standing still outside of the building, staring at his path home with a scowl.
He wasn't all that fond of going back to his house, knowing who would be there when he arrived, though with the hourglass he would be able to defend himself if need be. He quickly found himself sinking into his own mind, the multitude of reasons why that was a very bad idea taking over his thoughts.
His dark thought process was interrupted by a hand delicately brushing against his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Beth asked in her sweet, yet concerned voice.
Rick nodded curtly and turned his gaze to the ray of sunshine beside him. Beth wore her wide smile and big doe eyes, wearing him down and making him want to tell her everything.
But he didn't, thinking better of it.
"I'm just getting ready to walk home."
"Me too!" she shook her head eagerly.
He nodded once more, awkwardly, in a gesture of understanding.
The two stood in a thick silence, Beth's hands were now shoved deep in her jean pockets as she contemplated opening her mouth again.
Rick began to walk in the direction of his house when Beth let out a quick, "Do you want to come over to my house?"
The boy stilled wondering if Beth had actually offered.
"I mean, you can if you want to. My parents are working tonight, and tomorrow night, and most nights. They've been doing that a lot recently." she laughed in an attempt to hide her sadness.
"It's getting dark, my uncle won't like me out for so long."
He heard the girl shuffle closer.
"You know, if he tries anything, Pat can always take his robot and exchange some...words," she tried. "Or any of us could suit up and do it. Not just for this, just any time you need."
Rick almost laughed, the image of Beth in her costume coming to his door to threaten his uncle, huge goggles and all, entering his head.
"Thanks for the offer, but I'm still not sure that's the best ide-" he stopped himself at the sight of Beth, shoulders slumped, but eyes still bright as ever.
He realized in that moment that she was just like him, lonely and in need of some company.
"Umm...maybe just for tonight." he gave in.
"Yes!" Beth squealed excitedly, hooking her arm through his and turning them in the direction of her house.
As they walked, Beth rattled on about everything from homework to superheroes. Rick had to hold back the smile that threatened to make it's way onto his face at the sound of her enthusiasm.
They made it to Beth's house quite quickly. The girl unlinked their arms and began to rummage through her bag in searched of her keys. Rick wouldn't admit his disappointment at the lack of contact, but he would make note of how he suddenly felt the warmth leave his body when Beth pulled away.
They entered into darkness, no one was home and all the lights were off, Beth haphazardly used her hand to search the wall beside her for the light switch. As she flicked it on, brightness washed over the two. Rick squinted his eyes at the sudden intrusion of light.
"Okay, you can put your stuff here, or you can take it to my room, or just keep it with you. Whatever you want to do." Beth supplied as she began speeding to her kitchen. "Alright, what kind of snacks do you like? We have a bit of everything, sweet, sour, savory. Unless you wanted some dinner, I should have some leftovers from the other day that I could heat up for you." she offered.
"No thanks."
"Are you sure, I have cookies." she called, walking out of the kitchen and holding a clear container filled with some cookies she had caught Rick eyeing the day prior.
This time he couldn't stop his lips from turning upward in a small grin, he nodded his head.
Beth pumped her fist in the air before grabbing Rick's arm and dragging him to her room. She plopped down on her bed opening the container and taking a bite out of the sweet.
"So what do you want to do first?" she questioned, extending the box for Rick to take from. "We can do homework, watch a movie, Chuck has this great karaoke setting-" she gasped. " Ooh, we can do face masks. I was going to do them with Court and Yolanda next weekend but there's no time like the present."
"No."
"What why?"
"Cause I don't want you putting anything on my face."
"But it'll be fun." she tried.
"Nope. Let's just finish the homework and then you can pick a movie." Rick countered.
" How about we finish the homework and then we do face masks."
"Not happening."
"I can help you," she sang "and Chuck knows all the answers."
"Still no." Rick shook his head calmly.
Beth's shoulders slumped but she soon fixed her posture and shrugged. She grabbed her backpack from the side of her bed. She shuffled through it and pulled out her folder full of assignments. She grasped her geometry packet and began working on it. Rick sat down at the foot of the bed, he too got out the homework and began start on the page.
They worked in mostly silence for half an hour, Beth occasionally looking to Chuck for guidance, earning a long and extremely detailed account of every question and answer she asked about. Rick tried his best to focus on the paper in front of him, but he was just plain disinterested in the numbers, letters, and shapes on the page. He instead opted to scribble down the first answers that came to his mind, accuracy be damned, just wanting to finish as soon as possible.
He rubbed his eyes in an attempt to restore the little energy he had before taking out the assignment to no avail. When he looked back to the work, he was surprised to see a paper airplane made out of a sticky note set on top of his work.
He stared at the small plane in front of him before turning his gaze to Beth who was laying on her bed, appearing to be concentrated on the packet on her bed, tapping her pencil on the comforter as she looked over the page.
Rick moved his eyes back to the paper airplane, gingerly unfolding the wings to see in neat handwriting the words,
Face mask plz:)
He snapped his head to the girl who's face was now hidden behind her folder. She peeked her head out shyly only to see Rick rolling his eyes playfully and once again shaking his head no.
Turning his attention back to his homework, Rick wrote down the solutions to three more problems before an airplane landed on his lap.
He haphazardly opened the paper up to read the words,
Please. It'll be really fun. Please.
Before Rick had the chance to reply with a no, yet another airplane cascaded across his field of vision landing just beside his shoe. He leaned to pick it up and undid the neatly folded paper.
Pretty please with cookies on top?
Rick furrowed his brows and turned his body to face to girl, who was now at the foot of the bed, her chin was resting atop the box of cookies from before. Her big eyes and hopeful smile pleaded with him to reconsider.
He caved.
He let his head fall to his chest and pinched the bridge of his nose. He raised one hand and lifted his index finger.
"Once, we do this once."
Beth's entire face lit up as she squealed "Yay!" dashing off her bed she leaned down to give Rick a quick hug before running to get the supplies from her bathroom.
Rick begrudgingly made his way over to the side of her bed and sat down uncomfortably. But if he was being honest, he would do this a thousand times just to see the overjoyed expression that overtook her features at his compliance.
She returned holding a tube in one hand and a brush in another. Rick guessed to brush would be used to apply the mask.
"Okay, you ready?" she asked, popping open the cap and squeezing out a dollop of the mixture onto the brush.
"Why is it green?" Rick interrogated.
"Because it's matcha." Beth said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. At Rick's confused face she explained sweetly, "it's a type of green tea that's really popular to use in face masks."
He nodded cautiously as Beth stepped closer to him. She was directly in front of him as she softly touched the brush to his face. He hissed and pulled back quickly.
"Why is it cold?"
"It's not necessarily that it's cold. It's just that you're hot." Rick's eyebrows shot up. Beth didn't even realize what she had said until he made the gesture. "I didn't mean it like that! Not that you're not, it's just that- ugh, I meant body temperature. The average human body is between 97 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit and this," she held up the face mask tube, "is very much below that temperature." she rambled. "Besides, would you rather this be warm?"
Rick just stayed silent.
Beth gently brushed all around his face, sometimes imploring him to stop scrunching up his face. Rick hated to say it, but it was actually kind of relaxing. There weren't many times where someone tried to take care of him for a change.
"Alrighty, all done." the girl announced, removing the brush from his face and stepping back.
"How long do I have to keep this on for?"
"Until it's completely dry."
"And when is that?"
"Ummm..." Beth searched for an answer. " once it's hard to smile, you should be good to wash it off."
"I don't smile."
"I'm well aware, you can just wait till I take mine off."
She moved over to her mirror and began applying the mask to herself.
"I feel like an idiot." Rick complained.
"You are not, you look super cute!" Beth chided.
"I'm not sure if that's worse."
The boy watched her apply the mask all over her face, he couldn't control the expression of love and adoration that graced his face as he observed her.
He stayed like that for God knows how long until Beth turned to fully face him. He could say with the utmost confidence it was the most adorable thing he had ever seen in his life. Her face was green like his and a wide smile lit up her face.
There was no denying the smitten appearance he held as he gazed at Beth.
He was ripped from his trance when he heard the snap of Beth's phone camera. She smiled cheekily and clasped her hands behind her back.
"Beth." Rick began dangerously. "Don't do it Beth." already knowing she would share the photo.
"Just let me send it to Court and Yolanda." she pleaded.
"No, Beth."
Beth gripped her phone tightly behind her back as her eyes wandered to her open room door. Rick saw the plan forming in her mind and raced to beat her to the door. She ducked under his arm and ran to the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Rick knocked on the door frantically, "Come on, Beth. What's the point?"
"The point is you look adorable and that is not something that should be hidden from the world. And by world I mean the team." she called from behind the door.
"Beth Chapel I will turn this hourglass over right now and take this door off it's hinges." he said in an attempt to sound threatening.
"We both know you won't," Beth stated matter of factly.
"Dammit." Rick grit his teeth knowing she was right.
He heard the door unlock behind him, Beth wore a wide grin. He groaned, knowing he was completely incapable of actually being mad at her.
"Was it at least a good picture?" he asked, defeated.
"You tell me," Beth instructed, handing over her phone to the boy before slipping past him and back to her room.
The screen showed a picture of Rick, covered in a green face mask. But that's not what really got him. Plastered on his face clear as day was a lovestruck expression that could rival that of Beth's favorite rom-coms.
He sighed, accepting his fate. There would for sure be hell to pay the next day. He was certain Courtney and Yolanda would never let him live it down. But at the moment he wasn't to bothered.
"Is it okay if I put on 'The Breakfast Club'?" He heard from the other room. He lowered the phone and walked back to the room, prepared to spend the rest of the night with the adorable being that was Beth Chapel.
The End ♡
Again I will reiterate, this is my first time posting a fanfic so I would really appreciate some positive feedback, or if there was something you saw that you didn't really like please leave it in the comments, politely please. I am but an emotionally fragile egg trying my best. If you want to see more hournite oneshots or headcanons let me know. Thanks
Sincerely, Tessa.

I'm always up for angsty jealous Daryl that ends with lots of fluff! If you're willing
I am always a sucker for jealous Daryl!  
*

*
Tumblr media
Daryl sat on the steps of his bunk tower watching you interact with William, who was giving you a few pointers on how to plant flowers.  He had become one of the few people you could consider a friend, having known him for a few months.  Daryl never said much about it, he always just grumbled any time you brought him up in conversation.  You really thought they would have gotten along if Daryl just sucked up his ego and gave him a chance, but he was still that guy who had a hard time trusting people.  And that was his right.  It just made you a bit bummed that you could never have the same friends unless they had his seal of approval, and it didn’t seem like William was going to have it any time soon.  After a while you said your goodbyes to your friend and went off the find Daryl, quickly spotting him.  You made your way over, an excited grin on your face as you planned on telling him about what you were growing.  “There you are, I wanna show you what I’ve been working on.  William has been helping me plant all sorts of things and they’re starting to come in.”  You were proud of your accomplishments.  “Oh yeah? I’m sure that’s not all he’d like to help ya with.”  Your smile faded as you eyed his sour demeanor.  “Actually, he did offer to help fix the radio, but I suspect you won’t let him go near it.”  You watched as he stood up and headed back up to his little room.  “Nope.  I told ya I could fix it myself.”  You rolled your eyes before following him up.  “There’s nothing wrong with a kind gesture.”  You were getting irritated with him now.  He had been acting weird for a while, but any time you tried to bring it up and ask him what was wrong, he either brushed it off or left without saying a word. “What sorta kind gestures is he expectin’ in return?”  He made eye-contact with you as he sat down, like he knew something.  “Why don’t you just tell me what’s really on your mind?  You’ve never had any problems with that before.”  You raised your voice at him.  “‘Cause it ain’t worth it.”  “Then why are you acting like it is?”  He scoffed before waving his hand, an attempt to brush it off again.  “Just drop it.”  “No. You do this every time he comes up.  He’s not like that, he doesn’t expect anything from me.  He’s just nice.  You know, despite what you may think, people can be nice without expecting anything in return.”  He almost laughed.  “He’s a guy, Y/n, he’s gonna do anything to get what he wants.  You’ll see.”  This was becoming something bigger than you had originally thought. Maybe that wasn’t his intention, but the more he talked, the bigger the hole he was digging got.  You shook your head lightly in disbelief.  “How would you know?  You don’t ever try to get to know anyone.  If you let go of your insecurities for one second you’d see that he was actually a decent human being.”  It was silent for a few minutes as you stood there staring at him, waiting for any kind of reaction from him.  Instead he just sat there staring at the floor.  “If there’s something you want to say, you should say it now.  I’m getting really tired of tip-toeing around you.  I can’t ever talk about anybody without you getting all pissy at me.  I thought we were bigger than this.  I thought you trusted me.”  “I do trust you.”  His voice was quieter now.  “Then what the hell is the problem?”  “I don’t know.”  “Yes you do! Just talk to me.”  You wanted to strangle him.  Talking about his feelings had always been difficult, but it had gotten better.  You walked over and sat down next to him, placing your hands on his, hoping it would help urge him to open up.  “It has to be something, or else you wouldn’t be acting like this.”  It was silent again.  You could tell that he was trying to figure out a way to say what he was thinking, but it was like it was physically impossible for anything to come out.  You let out a sigh as you let go of his hands, feeling like there was no way of getting through to him.  “Maybe you just need your space.  You know where to find me when you’re ready to talk.”  You stood up and headed for the door.  “Wait…”  He was quick to stop you, which you took as a good sign.  He wasn’t just going to let you walk out. He was standing now  “I just… I see you out there with him and… I see how easy it is for him to make you smile, how bright your face lights up, and it just makes me think.”  You turned to face him.  “Makes you think what?”  You urged him to continue.  “Do I make you that happy.”  Your heart sank, you weren’t expecting that at all.  You walked over to him and placed your hand on the back of his neck.  “You make me the happiest I’ve ever been in my whole life, you don’t ever have to worry about that.”  You tried to reassure him, but you never could tell if he believed you. “I’ve never seen you smile the way you smile at him.  Maybe that’s just cause I don’t know how’ta make you smile like that, or somethin’ else –”  “Daryl, you’re overthinking it.  It’s not a competition to see who can make me smile the biggest.  What’s important is you knowing how much you mean to me and how nothing is ever going to change that, alright?  You do a lot to make me do things I don’t do for anyone else.”  He raised an eyebrow.  “Oh yeah? Like what?”  “Well, for starters…”  you paused momentarily as you led him back to the cot and sat yourself down, pulling him down next to you.  “You are the first man I’ve ever been comfortable enough to allow myself to get close to.  You’re the first one I’ve ever fully trusted.  I can let my guard down with you, and that means more to me than you’ll probably ever know.”  Your voice was soft, your gaze not breaking from his until finally looking down at the buttons on his shirt.  “It’s really hard for me to be vulnerable with someone, but with you.. it was easy.  And I think that’s because we’ve always shared a more deeper connection with one another, one that outstands everything else.  So please believe me when I tell you that just because someone can make me smile a certain way, it doesn’t mean anything.”  Daryl’s gaze was locked on yours, not knowing what to say.  Maybe there wasn’t anything else to say.  He brushed some strands of hair behind your ear before leaning forward and placing a kiss against your forehead.  It was that moment that he realized you were unbreakable, that nothing was going to stand in the way.  And really, the only person who was standing in the way was himself. “I love you.”  He finally spoke, his words nearly a whisper.  “I’m sorry I’ve been such an idiot.”  You smiled sweetly at him before adjusting yourself to lie down, pulling him down with you so you could rest your head on his chest.  “You’re my idiot.”  Your eyes closed as you focused on the sound of his beating heart.  “All mine.”
