#but this is just the best order to do things i found 😭 next im doing the steel foundry. then g0rtash. and THEN we finally save her 💖

[4giorno]

crying bc the final line of astarions dialogue the morning after killing cazador is "this is a gift you know. thank you - i wont forget it" which is like what he said after you first let him drink your blood

[kumezyzo]

omg can you write something about like how you and bf!sapnap would spend your birthday then how you both would spend his birthday too? i guess a mixture of fluff/smut whatever you feel like🥰

this has also been in my inbox for a while. this was really cute but i felt like it was rushed a bit. so im sorry.

anyway, enjoy! or dont.... :) m.list

on your birthday, bf!sapnap would let you wake up on your own. when you do wake up, he asks you what you want for breakfast. he doesnt actually cook anything but he orders you whatever you want.

"happy birthday baby," he'd tell you leaning down to give you a kiss. "what do you want for breakfast?"

bf!sapnap who has you open your after breakfast with dream and george.

bsf!dream and george who sing you happy birthday as loudly as they can with sapnap. they hold out a cupcake with a single candle. they hype you up so much and get way too excited when you blow out the candle.

bf!sapnap who takes you out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. both of you were dressed to the nines, eating food that matched the way you looked.

at the end of the night, bf!sapnap makes a post on Instagram dedicated to you. the first picture being one of the many pictures you guys took before having dinner, the second one was of you during dinner, the next few being of you two throughout your relationship. the nineth is a video of you them singing happy birthday to you with the cupcake. the last one being a video of you two dancing in the kitchen late at night. the caption being something along the lines of:

"Happy Birthday to Yn. The best thing that could have happened to me is meeting you. I'm so happy to he able celebrate your birthday with you. I love you."

bf!sapnap who was complimenting the entire night, throughout dinner, on the drive back home, in the comments of his post, when youre taking your clothes off as you get ready for bed.

"you look so good, baby," he tells you as he hugs you from behind. you scoff as you stand there in your underwear, shaking your head at your boyfriend.

"you've been saying that all night," you say with a smile.

"I feel like you just really needed to know, peaches."

on bf!sapnaps birthday, you seek out help from dream.

"you want my honest suggestion?" clay asks you. you nod. "he'll really just be fine with birthday sex-"

"fuck off," you groan, rolling your eyes.

clay laughs loudly, "okay, im kinda joking," you roll your eyes as he slowly regains his composure. "he would be happy doing anything with you or his family."

"we're in florida..."

"in which case you juat spend time with him... dumbass." you flip him off

bf!sapnap who you wake up the morning of his birthday with kisses all over his face. and with that, he woke up with a cute blushy grin.

"happy birthday, baby," you whisper with a smile.

"happy birthday, indeed."

bf!sapnap who returns all the kisses happily. he just woke up but all really wanted was you.

"mmph..." he moaned as he started kissing down your neck.

"I thought I was suppoaed to do this to you," you say breathily as he shifts to hover over you.

"i thought... i was the birthday boy," he said kissing down your body, "and could do what i want."

bf!sapnap who very excitedly eats you out and fucks you. sleep is still swimming through the both of you. but to you two, it was like heaven.

bf!sapnap who is smiling so hard when youre trying to catch your breath.

"best birthday gift, peach," he says drowsily, panting less and less, "thank you."

"that was all you, love," you pant out, trying to figore out what just happened.

i wrote this on paper, including this end note, and my handwriting looks like i was one of the fucking founding fathers 😭😭😭😭

anyway, this felt long enough. i hope you enjoyed. -nony

[havendance]

hello mem!! i just finished reading the entirety of no man’s land, and im trying to figure out where to go from there. online searching hasn’t really been helpful 😭 this is the list i found, im just not sure about the order:

- batman by ed brubaker vol 1

- new gotham vol 1

- officer down

- new gotham vol 2

- bruce wayne murderer/fugitive

- gotham central

- catwoman???? not sure which comics tho

where does vol 2 of batman by ed brubaker fit into this?? is this even the right order?? i’d truly appreciate your help 🥺

I'll do my best to straighten you out!

After No Man's Land, all of the Bat titles go their own way (before joining up back together for Officer Down and Bruce Wayne: Murder/Fugitive).

New Gotham Volume 1 collects Greg Rucka's run on Detective Comics between the end of No Man's Land and Officer Down.

(Following the end of NML, Batman was written by Larry Hama for a little bit, and all of those stories are just kind of fine and also not collected anywhere that I know of so don't worry about that. This bullet point is mainly to explain why Batman by Ed Brubaker does not cover the same span of time as New Gotham.)

The first four issues collected Batman by Ed Brubaker vol 1 take place BEFORE Officer Down. The rest take place afterward.

This was not on your list, but I do also recommend reading Gotham Knights: Transference which collects the first 12 issues of Gotham Knights. This also takes place between the end of No Man's Land and Officer Down. Gotham Knights is comic that does a good job of showcasing the Bats as an ensemble so if you like Batman working with his allies, this is the book for you. Also, Transference is just really good, and Gotham Knights as a whole contributes to everything leading up to Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive.

Catwoman does not have any collected editions for this period.

Officer Down goes here.

After Officer Down goes New Gotham Volume 2. This collects all of Detective Comics between Officer Down and Bruce Wayne: Murderer.

Batman by Ed Brubaker vol 1 also covers most of this ground. This is where things start getting a little (more) complicated though. The first issue collected in Batman by Ed Brubaker vol 2 takes place BEFORE Bruce Wayne: Murderer. It then proceeds to collect the tie-in issues of Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive that Brubaker wrote. I would honestly just skip this volume. The first issue is a christmas issue with like an evil (fake) Santa Claus or something and it's not that important. The other issues will be easier to read in other collected editions.

I also recommend you read Gotham Knights: Contested which collects the issues of Gotham Knights between Officer Down and Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive. The final issue of the does take place AFTER Bruce Wayne: Murder/Fugitive but the rest of it takes place before.

This is where you read Bruce Wayne: Murderer and Bruce Wayne Fugitive. I think there's a new omnibus collecting it all coming out soon, but I'm not sure how useful that is to you.

Gotham Central starts a few months or so after the conclusion of Bruce Wayne: Fugitive, but there's not really anything else you need to read before you can start this.

To look ahead a little after this, Hush starts to run in Batman and Brubaker start doing some other stuff in Detective Comics that doesn't get collected. And then (unfortunately) the next major event is War Games. But there's plenty of comics for you to read up to this point, so we'll stop here for now.

Other notes:

Catwoman does not really tie in to Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive but around the time that event is starting up, Brubaker is relaunching Catwoman. This is where she gets the black leather catsuit and this IS collected in Catwoman Vol. 1: Trail of the Catwoman. I have not read this, but I've heard that it's good. It's also getting reprinted soon I believe.

Robin does not really have any collected editions post NML. If you want to read him, you're going to need to do it some other way. His event tie in issues are collected though.

Nightwing DOES have some collected editions if you're interested in him though. Nightwing Vol. 5: The Hunt for Oracle overlaps with No Man's Land, but it also collects the start of what he's up to afterward. Following that, Vol. 6 collects the rest of the way up to Officer Down. Vol. 7 and the first 4 issues collected in Vol.8 collect the stuff between Officer Down and Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive.

Birds of Prey gets hooked in to events, but the comics themselves don't really contribute to the larger Gotham narrative going on. I still think they're fun though. Birds of Prey vol. 3 collects the Birds of Prey comics between the end of NML and Officer Down. There aren't any collected editions for the Dixon run after this though.

Batgirl! We can't forget Batgirl, it's very good. It does get roped into events, but most of it is standalone. Batgirl Vol. 1: Silent Knight collects the comics between the end of NML and Officer Down as well as Cass' Officer Down tie in. This volume is harder to track down/more expensive on the resale market, but if your library as Hoopla, it's available there. (Most of these trades that I'm mentioning are as far as I'm aware.) Vol. 2 collects the comics leading up to Bruce Wayne: Murderer and then a couple, and Vol 3 collects a couple of the tie ins for Fugitive I believe and then beyond. They can largely be read on their own terms.

I would be remiss if I didn't recommend that you also read Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood. This is a six issue mini-series takes place relatively shortly after NML and was recently reprinted as Birds of Prey: Huntress. Definitely read this! It is good! Also you can see what Helena's up to after NML.

Finally, at a point in time between Officer Down and Bruce Wayne: Murderer, Joker: Last Laugh happens which is the event where Dick kills the Joker and Bruce revives him. Every comic has a tie-in where they have to fight Jokerized villains and honestly that could be the extent of your engagement with this comic. The main issues of this event are theoretically collected but also I've never seen this trade anywhere and also it's not on Hoopla (which is how I read most of my trades) so that might prove an issue.

To summarize all of this (I'm using bolded entries to demarcate crossover events. You can jump around between entries in this list between them as they largely run concurrently.) (the exception being like Nightwing vol 5 and 6. The Hunt for Oracle Crossover between Nightwing and Birds of Prey is also collected in both Nightwing vol 5 and Birds of Prey vol. 3):

New Gotham vol. 1

Gotham Knights: Transferrence

Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood

Batgirl vol. 1

Nightwing vol. 5 and vol. 6

Batman by Ed Brubaker vol. 1 (first 4 issues)

Officer Down

The rest of Batman by Ed Brubaker vol. 1

New Gotham vol. 2

Gotham Knights: Contested

Batgirl vol. 2

Nightwing vol. 7 and Nightwing vol. 8 (first 4 issues)

Bruce Wayne: Murderer and Bruce Wayne: Fugitive

Catwoman Volume 1: The Trail of Catwoman (Running roughly concurrently with Murderer/Fugitive)

Batgirl vol. 3

Gotham Central vol. 1

Batman: Hush

etc etc

I think that's it, but I'm sure that if I missed anything one of my lovely and knowledgeable mutuals will point it out.

Clear as mud? But seriously, I hoped this cleared things up for you and please do not hesitate to ask follow up questions! If this list is overwhelming, I would say, Nightwing, Birds of Prey, Batgirl, and Cry for Blood (though as a Helena fan, I really do think you should read Cry for Blood) are less essential to the building Gotham plot that leads up to Murder/Fugitive, but I really do think you should read Gotham Knights. There's some really fun comics in this era, I hope you enjoy!

Dressing Habits

It was safe to say the knight was almost prepared for what they were about to walk into. Every time the prince called them to his quarters it was some new elaborate scheme to try and seduce them.

But this time the air was different.

They couldn’t see his face and he didn’t turn in his chair when they entered. Something was definitely wrong.

If the knight had the right to speak first they would, but for fear of worsening his state they stayed silent until he was ready.

“I’m tired.” He turned slightly and the knight couldn’t help but trace his side profile with their eyes. Yet they didn’t truly believe what he said, if anything he looked more determined than exhausted.

“You should sleep then, your highness.”

The prince groaned, running a hand through his messy hair. Sometimes he loved his title, other times not so much… “Not that kind of tired.”

They knew.

And they waited for him to continue.

“I’m tired of begging you to touch me.” He smiled, that stupid grin that made the knight’s heart skip a beat every time. That smirk that promised a good time and a bad back the next morning. “I’m a prince after all~”

This time he turned all the way around, revealing the sheer robe that loosely covered his shoulders and chest but did absolutely nothing to hide it. Its dark, floral print and lace edges screamed “rich royalty” which seemed to be the style that suited him best. At least, that’s what the knight had deduced from the prince’s various extravagant outfits.

Or maybe it was just their favourite style out of the many.

“Pardon?” They hated the way their voice broke at its peak, on the other hand the prince seemed to love it. Leaning his head back and wetting his lips as he looked them up and down.

“Do you ever take that off?” He gestured with a flick of his wrist at their armour.

Technically no. But also yes. They did, when they were alone. Which probably hit every check box for a metaphor about their cold heart and closed off demeanour, but it was their duty. They were a knight and their job was to protect. Their amour only ever came off when they had time to themselves. The prince however shortened that time indefinitely with his constant beck and call.

At their silence, he raised a brow, prodding for an answer he must’ve already known. The knight swallowed, normally they had much more composure around him, but his outfit and his laugh and his face, everything, was becoming increasingly more distracting.

“Yes, sire.”

“Fuck…” The prince closed his eyes, groaning in ecstasy as he did. “I thought we saved that name for the sheets.”

“We’ve never had sex.” It came out too fast. Too rushed that they didn’t even realize the words had left their mouth until the prince stood up from his chair and stalked towards them, his grin bigger than ever.

The prince was known for his… luxurious dressing behaviour. It was his favourite thing to do each morning, what outfit will infuriate the knight the most?, type of game. He prided himself on his accuracy at it as well.

This robe however, challenged every other article of clothing the prince had ever worn before. He hadn’t even bothered to put boxers on and the fabric was as good as invisible. Only now did the knight begin to understand what he was getting at.

“Not yet, no.” In two strides his highness was before them. Leaning in before he spoke again, “But I plan to change that tonight.” He hesitated, placing a hand against their chest plate. “May I?”

A terrible trick of words. Both of them were skilled when it came to language—one of the many things the prince found endearing about his guard—but he was more fond of twisting them, whilst they were more fond of empowering them.

The knight wasn’t allowed to take their armour off, especially not while on duty, but a direct order from one of the royal family was not to be ignored, nor deterred. He knew it, he knew both sides and they knew that he knew. It was a double edged sword, yet they were granted a choice. They could choose what rule they would follow and he wouldn’t object to their decision.

“I’m not interested.” Maybe if they lied out loud both of them would believe it. “…Your highness.”

His smile faltered just a little and the knight would lie again and tell themselves it didn’t hurt their heart to see. But they stayed strong and the prince retreated their hand back to their side.

He shrugged, his robe falling off one shoulder revealing a small, circular scar and the knight’s skin prickled with the memory of the moment. They couldn’t handle seeing the prince’s scars, it felt like a reminder that they had failed him. A permanent mark of their sloppy work which ended up hurting the one they were supposed to protect.

The palm of the prince’s hand gently brushed their cheek as he pushed a lock of hair out of their eyes. Drawing the knight back to their surroundings in a blurry rush of heat. His eyes told them he could read their mind and they offered a guilty comfort of which they couldn’t indulge.

“I have sources that would say otherwise…” Cocky and arrogant was his default, but he seemed to hold a certain kindness in his heart for the knight. Yet they couldn’t decide what side they liked more on him.

“You were never one to believe rumours, my liege. What has changed that?”

“Because it’s you they’re about.”

“You’ll find there’s many, if you look.”

“Your highness.” He shared the title as it came from their lips. Practically glowing when he guessed the right name before he turned back towards his chair.

Falling back into it, the knight couldn’t help the lurch their heart did and the flinch their body acted towards the prince’s carelessness. He winked at them, spinning himself around as he spoke.

“Ever thought about switching it up?” The prince waggled his eyebrows, biting his bottom lip before he continue. “Something like da—”

“If you’re about to say what I think you are, don’t bother. It’s not happening.” They had to close their eyes at the thought of keeping composure. He was such a dick. “…My prince.” The knight sneered, biting their tongue at their own attitude.

The prince hummed, much too content with the knight’s reaction. “I won’t give up on you, baby.”

Internally they were relieved, externally they rolled their eyes. “I know.”

GUYS WAIT JUST HEAR ME OUT...

What if I started a series about an AU where every ninja has a little sister? (So yes Nya and Kai "have a little sister")

OK YES

IM GONNA DO IT

STARTING WITH COLE OBVIOUSLY 🤭

(tw for sh!)

This gif makes me so sad I cant-

Libble "Lilly" Brookstone

Named Libble after her mom's best friend, Libber

(Yes I hc that Cole's mother and Jay's birth mother were besties)

Nicknamed Lilly because she looks exactly like her, they're basically identical apart from the fact that Libble has her dad's eyes

Her family sometimes give her the nickname "Libs" or "Libby"

(Most people acc call her Libby now)

She was the "naughty kid" and she ran away alot

Gave poor Lou lots of stress 😭

The moment Libble turned 13 (abt halfway through Possesion) she started to bunk off school and do stupid things (smoking, dr*gs, that sorta stuff)

She grew up WAY too fast

Like she rly didn't gave a shit abt Cole turning into a ghost or any of that until Day of the Departed

After DotD she had a much needed wake up call (still just age 13 at this point)

She didn't go and visit her home for the holiday and she realised just how much their family had suffered bc of Lilly's passing

So that night Libble cried herself to sleep in the crappy apartment she and her friends were camping out in

a) bc she missed her dad and big bro and b) because she knew she had seriously messed up

The next day she went back to school and finally started making an effort

She realised she really loved sketching and she also had a passion for programming/machinery/tech

She decided she wanted to pursue a career at Borg Industries before she mustered up the courage to go back to live with Lou

She apologised profusely and sobbed and begged for his forgiveness

Lou welcomed her back with open arms

Cole was skeptical of talking to her for a few days but after a week he ended up going back to visit

and he was the happiest he had ever been when he saw his baby sister had truly changed <33

They had a family dinner the following night catching up on things

During the one year gap after Hands of Time she continued to go to school and actually got an education, and regularly stayed in touch with Cole (since he was with Jay looking for Wu)

She met all the ninja just after March of the Oni and decided that Nya was her favourite (after Cole ofc)

After MotM, once Cole returned from Shintaro, his veins up his wrist/arms would sometimes pulse a faint orange. Libble liked to trace them and would always say she wished she was the one with elemental powers as a joke

By the end of Crystalized, Libble is 16!

Aaand that's her story!! Moving on to random facts abt her:

Unlike the rest of her family, Libble can't sing or dance to save her life

She'll stay up all night sketching and sketching and sketching

Cole often calls her "Libbler the Scribbler"

Whenever Lou and the Royal Blacksmiths have a performance, she always makes sure she's on the front row

She used to sh as "punishment" once she returned home, because she couldn't forgive herself for leaving her dad like that

Her classmates called her a freak because of the scars up her arms and the minute Cole found out he was PISSED

She hangs around Chen's Noodle House a lot, and she always orders the same thing: PUFFY POTSTICKERS

She smashed the TV in the monastery of spinjitzu once, because of Kai and Cole beating her in a video-game

Shes usually quite a calm and collected person, but she can also be really loud

Simillar to Lilly's locket, Libble owns a silver locket which pictures her and Cole in one photo, and Lilly and Lou in the other.

Thats all hehe, but I feel like I could've picked a better name, I had literally no ideas 😭😭

(Just to make things clear, each sister doesn't exist in the same universe, these are all gonna be seperate AUs!)

Hope yall enjoyed and I think I'll be doing either Lloyd or Kai + Nya next! <3

hi elle, my initials are K.R and these are the emojis 😭❤️🥲💟🤍

im learning to love my voice more, my empathy and my creativity. ive always felt insecure about my voice and also felt blocked creatively due to being insecure about myself particularly how good i am. so im going to posy social media content publicly without being harsh and criticising myself and holding myself back from posting, from fear of failure. as for my empathy, ive felt that i often extend it to people who have wronged me. i also feel that my empathy can often be people-pleasing. so i am working on boundaries and standing up for myself, it's difficult.

hm... this is me trying by taylor swift? or any taylor swift song in general, since im not really a taylor swift fan

my biggest goal is to start posting on my youtube channel! that's my biggest goal :)

thank you for the ask game, i really appreciate it 🤍 i participated in a previous ask game and found it so helpful and accurate

Hi KR,

Thank you so much for participating in my new ask game.

It’s so nice to hear that you are putting in the work to achieve your goals~ Remember, baby steps, okay?

Don’t push yourself too hard and learn to accept that rest is productive. It’s okay to like just one song of an artist. You’re not required to like the whole album to appreciate a song.

Also, I hope you start posting on YouTube soon!! Good luck!!

These are the cards I pulled out for you: Knight of Swords, Judgement, 2 of Cups

With the first card, in order to achieve the goals that you want, you need to be assertive and focused on your game plan. Like in your YouTube channel, you need to make sure the video and sound quality are clear and appealing to the audience. You’ll need to learn about different things in cinematography and choosing the right background music. Also, researching and trying out different b rolls and making sure your equipment works properly, etc. So with the first card, you can’t be idle with your goals. You need to charge forward, do your research, and improve all the way. I’m not asking you to be a perfectionist, this card is just simply asking you to show up for yourself for your dreams to come true.

The next card calls you to keep track of your progress and always reevaluate which approach or strategy works well for you and which one needs to be improved or changed completely. To achieve the things that you want, you need to have a beginner mindset that's eager to explore and improve. It's best if you keep a notebook or journal to keep track of your efforts and be accountable with your actions. Always remember that, if you put 1% effort everyday, that's equivalent to 37% of progress in a whole year later.

Finally the last card you calls for you to be open for collaborations and create meaningful connections. Creating a channel means you'll need to learn your own way of building an online community and learn how to best create content in your own unique way. With this one, you're encourage to learn and partner with established creators and learn what they are willing to teach you. Be open to work with people for the sake of experience. Going about your channel on your own feels like a such a heavy burden on you. So, if you can establish your own team to help you with your channel, that's even better.

This is as far as I could interpret for your reading. Thank you so much for being my participant!

Feel free to tip me in my Buy me a Coffee account (to show support) ahehe [Not required, but most grateful if you did]~ (This reading is for entertainment purposes only)

Hi there! I know that this is really out of the blue but im asking for a favor or some help w/ my cats current medical needs. Please if you have an extra time to boost/share it for us so that we could get some traction or it could reach more people, it would definitely help a ton! I understand if its not okay, Im so sorry for taking some of your time and I wish you to be safe and healthy always, xx.(Please considering answering my ask privately or probably hit me a msg if its fine! 😭🙏

This person is holding my dying cat hostage.

Hello, people of Tumblr. I am afraid I am in dire straights. (which is funny, because I am a queer person. I'm sure some of you can relate ;)

This person is holding my dying cat hostage and sending me messages to taunt me.

I, a blogger, need money from you. I'm sure you have questions like "Why do you need money?"/"What's the money for?"/"Are you just lying for money?"/"Why can't people who actually know you help you?"/"This isn't just for you to amass personal wealth at the expense of others, right?"/"Is this someone else's fundraiser you found on facebook, and you're using the pictures to scam?"

And I can answer these questions- me personally. Don't ask around. Don't search my name in the search bar. What, you don't trust me? I came to you, with my dying cat, and you want to RUN A BACKGROUND CHECK? Shame on you!!!

This person is holding my dying cat ransom. They want one thousand dollars. You are a bad person if you do not help me come up with the money.

This individual entered my house for a "grindr hookup", and absconded with my cat. My cat has feline autism (as diagnosed by my chiropractor, message for receipts). In order to stay calm, he needs to sit with me as I smoke weed, and inhale the secondhand smoke. I am devastated. I do not know how long it has been since Jim Cummings (not the actor. that's my cat's name. after Catdog. The cat half. Of Catdog.) has been able to inhale smoke particles, and it's the only thing that keeps him from attacking furniture. If I cannot secure the safe return of Jim Cummings, he will go into one of his "feral rages", and I fear for both the safety of my little kitty, and for those who are holding him ransom.

IF I WANT TO SEE MY SWEET LITTLE KITTY AGAIN, I NEED TO RAISE ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS

If you call me an "unreliable narrator of my own experience" I will fucking block you, and put you on a list of people who hate poor queers. If you call me a scammer, I'll sue for slander and/or libel.

SEND ME MONEY RIGHT NOW. OR MY CAT WILL DIE IN AGONY.

Here is a picture of Daddy's little angel!!! He's a little grumpy here, because it's been too long since he's had a smoke break. God, I hope he's okay right now 😿

This is our generation's Lindbergh Baby!!! We have to save him before it's too late!

don't tag this as anything that might alert staff to my scam Tumblr is know to hide donation posts, so please, share this, but, do your best to only show this to the gullible be careful. I want money, not advice. Any advice you have, I know I've already tried. You don't know my circumstances, and I don't want you to! I want money, hand over fist. message me for receipts.

SAM MY LOVE IM BACK!!!My feedback is going to a bit jumbled so i'm sorry if none of it makes sense lol

OKAY SO I LOVED DING  ROUND 3!!!!! Ngl I was a tad bit frustrated with Harry in this one but only because my guy is just a bit impatient when it comes to her lol And I know he means NO harm when asking her about what happened the night of her date and why she ended up in the classes like he truly just CARES about her so I get him! Plus with knowing his backstory of how he has always been a “protector” and his whole deal with how he processes his own emotions, it makes sense his behavior! But Cupcake is also going through it and it’s clear that they are on opposite spectrums on how they deal with things. AND it is something very hard to process no matter the outcome of it and it’s harder to say it out loud because it feels like it makes it ‘real’ if that makes sense lol. Anyways TELL ME WHY THAT GROSS MAN IS AT HER BAKERY?!?! I WANT TO SCREAM AND SCARE HIM AWAY FROM HER!!! BUT I'm glad that this was a nice way to lead Harry and Cupcake to have their own vulnerable moments! BUT AHHHH I LOVED IT SAM! YOU DID GREAT AS ALWAYS!!

NOW THE NEIGHBORS EXTRA 😭I LOVE RORY SO MUCH😭I think last month or so (i have no concept of time anymore) I re-read the whole story and extras in one go… I have no idea why my brain does this but it was worth it lol ANYWAYS ugh i loved it! I do love that bit of angst and once again it makes sense for Harry to feel like that! Was it the best way to react, not really but given the circumstances it was kinda the only option aside from talking it out lol But I really was NOT worried because they are END GAME! It was so cute! I just love them so much! But that's nothing surprising since I love everything you put out lol

Now my reasoning for my slight disappearance lol I have had two midterms this week and basically from now until the end of the quarter it’s mainly exams! I think I will end somewhere in June, I'm starting week 5 out of 10 next week! And I fear I will be taking summer courses :( I really fucked up my second year so that’s kinda why I need to take some courses in order to graduate on time lol . But I've only had a few TAs where I personally have been attracted to which have all been from my psyc courses lol and Ugh I MISS  MY HOT PROFESSOR 😭 I LONG for that man and its pathetic😭 and literally if you did call me an idiot, I would NOT blame you because I am one the majority of the time 😂 oh I wanted to be on my knees when he gave his lecture lol

And it really was nice! I got a limited edition Paramore/David Byrne vinyl and Lauefy’s A night at the symphony vinyl! And some other classical records! My main reason for waking up early was to get a Paramore poster and Sam when I tell you I CALLED all the stores within my city/county and only ONE had them, I wanted to cry! I didn't get it because the line was HUGE and the moment I found out they ran out I wanted to jump off a building 😀 But overall i had a nice time! And ooo what color is your record?

I totally get the shopping part! I too have my fair share of body image issues so I don’t blame you for feeling like that. But I'm glad you were able to find some clothes that you feel at least okay in! I'm sure you’ll look lovely in your choices! And I'm glad you had a nice break! You for sure have earned that little break! And don’t ever feel bad about not staying on top of your writing schedule, it’s a BUSY season for high schoolers and if you're helping with senior activities it’s so stressful! So be kind on yourself and if you need to miss a day or a few weeks of posting that’s okay💗

Hope you had a nice week back! I miss you! Hope you have a lovely weekend! Love you!!!-💜

So glad you liked Ding and Neighbors! I was a bit worried about Neighbors--I struggle with angsty stuff sometimes but I guess maybe it's the whole it's coming from my brain thing again. Maybe I'm biased but I love Ding a lot 😭 I'm really excited about it (so excited that I may have written the last part before parts 4, 5, and 6 lol)

ANYWAY.

OMG JUNNNNNEEEEE?! Ma'am I'm so sorry that seems so far away--I'm sure you'll crush it and it will be here before you know it (I'm VERY excited for June--I can't last much longer in my classroom I'm going out of my mind. This week felt endless and exhausting and I keep thinking every week is going to get better, less tiring and they're just NOT. Idk what the problem is.) I miss your hot professor for you 😭 I'm glad you have hot TAs you can sub in for him--def not the same but will help for the next five weeks.

There are no wrong paths in college. If you take extra time (or have to take summer classes) it's where you're supposed to be and it's not a big deal. You'll get it done and do fantastic 💕

So cool about your records! I love that for you! It's so funny you called stores for a poster 😭 (Fun fact: I HATE phone calls. Like an OBNOXIOUS irrational fear) I'm sorry you didn't get it, I hope you can find it at some point in time! I'm glad it was enjoyable overall and you got the ones you wanted. My one lonely record is bright yellow and kinda see through--it's really pretty! I'm not sure why I'm surprised. Everything Harry does is pretty.

Honestly, I think I will def be missing a few posting dates. I don't want to, but I think it's inevitable. I can't wait for summer 😭

No plans for this weekend! Hopefully it will be relaxing but I'm afraid I'll be filling it up with a million things I need to get done that didn't get done during the week. I plan on making sure I read and go for a walk on both days so as long as I do that I think it will be okay--and of course write Ding Part 4. (I also need to fold my laundry and vacuum but those are my fave chores). I hope you have a fun weekend planned--you deserve it after exams and not getting your poster 💕

Love you, bestie!!!!

xoxo

[lolosrollercoaster]

so - back on an I need to write this out to process it and I guess im sharing it mood.

So ... been looking for a job since April, took a bit of a break in May but was supposed to be back in it by now but I'm just. exhausted. the depression has come back full force and I'm now lk desperate and financially stressed af.

So anyways, all of these months I kept just mass applying when I could get myself to with the full resume I had - no changes. no tailoring it to an application etc. and then I decided to apply again to this one place in sept - even though last year when I applied I hadn't had much luck, but this time around there was a position very similar to my last one - and I was lk fuck it I gotta do it.

in the mean time I've kinda been going to a psychiatrist since lk august to be evaluated bc I think I might also have ADHD. But anyways she thinks that I need to leave my house, see ppl and rejoin life in order to see if my problems are from lack of doing anything and so my mental health is fucked bc im lk stuck at home feeling useless or if its because of something else - lk idk something is inherently wrong with me lol. I think she'd shit on me if I said that out loud to her. she's kinda cool - lk intimidating cool but not in a bad way. she's just such a no nonsense person and she'll read you lk you're an open book you cant get much past her.

my mom had to go in to share what she'd seen happening with me (aka lk the outsiders perspective of what changes can be seen in me since Ive been mentally fucked) and she was so nervous ahahaha and then in the end she was lk wait do I want an appointment with her for myself? my mom is a whole character. if only y'all knew.

anyways back to the job thing, so she told me to apply to anything, I just needed to get a routine going again. so I applied to a bunch of things. and then I got a message about a grocery store job on indeed and tried to reply but I couldn't help but feel a bit sad bc I thought man I finally got a grown up job and now I'm back to my OG job roots, back to the grocery store life. And honestly I think a lot of my extended family has fucked me up on that bc they're so snobbish about these jobs. ANYWAYS so I didnt hear anything back after I answered them 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I thought ok . and around that time I had stopped applying.

fast forward to the past 2 weeks - my dog got sick, I got sick - we had the worst flu, I've had the worst period of the last few years, ive been out of it, my mom has been out of it, my dog has been out of it - also right - my grandmas death etc. (truly Oct is kinda dead to me now. so yay on that 😭 one less thing to look forward to which is sad when you didn't have much left) but yeah so then I see this email late Friday evening - which shit I usually check my email daily but this time I had forgotten bc id been sick - it was an email from Wednesday from that job I'd applied in sept that was a lot lk the one I'd left earlier in the year. and they wanted to interview me this week - Wednesday or Thursday. I managed to reply as soon as I saw it. and then I got a confirmation that Monday for it - it was an in person interview today.

I tried to prep for it as best as I could while physically dying a bit - bc lk I said been experiencing the period from hell. And yknow what that means? I'm so fucking emotionally wrecked atm- so anyways my dad drove me I somehow managed to be there, I was early, dressed professionally and everything - had even practiced some answers ... and then idk man - I think I fucked it up. They asked follow ups or clarifications of my answers but by the end I wasn't sure how to feel except man definitely didn't get that. they told me they'd make a decision by next week and let me know either way.

and the worse or weirdest part is I've spent the past few days since I found out about it trying to downplay it - lk its fine, you don't need this, if it's for you then it will be for you and if it isn't then it isn't. but I felt so sad walking out - lk idk I just got that feeling that they didn't like me. so now I'm all sad - even if all I've felt recently is that idgaf anymore and I'm ok with just dying - bc yup I got that passive suic*dal ideation down to a routine now. anyways - if anyone has any words of encouragement I'll take them but yeah I am sad .... and I have little to nothing left to give. it's been draining to say the least. and the worst part is I know my parents are just going to be encouraging and even my psychiatrist -she told me that I would get a job and it wouldn't matter who and if for some reason I didn't get something I should just think of it "well they weren't capable of seeing how great you are and what an asset you'd be to their team and that's fine because that just means it is not the job for you" but it still makes me sad know? I have trouble letting go of things and I'm way too hard on myself so it's just - A LOT.

anyways thats my life update.

Could you do a story, where the reader decides to take a bath in the river to reduce her anger, because of mariono's marriage proposal with isabela, and isabela sees her and ends up "helping the reader relax"? please?

BESTIE IM NOT SURE IF YOU WANTED SMUT OR NOT SO IM SORRY 😭 i wrote smut tho mwahahahah ok anyw here we go

warnings

notes

fem!reader

lowercase intended

light angst (?) like super light

the reader tends to get angry quite often and isabela knows the best way to calm her gf down ;)

u're a bottom so uhm yea

let's go for a swim, mi vida | isabela madrigal x fem!reader

you were furious, and everyone who saw you as you walked along this particular street of encanto knew. i mean, it was obvious by the way your face looked.

in response to your distressed body language, the villagers cleared their path when you came across them, knowing better than to do something that’ll rile you up even more.

you knew that isabela was to do whatever her abuela alma told her to, being the perfect golden child that their family was blessed with. she’s always been that way — protecting her precious reputation and doing whatever was needed to be done just to get her grandmother’s validation.

you accepted her that way because you loved her and you would do anything just to keep her, and in order to do that, she had to keep you a secret. don't get it wrong, you knew that she loved you dearly since she makes it known to you in so many ways whenever you have your time together. however, when it came to everyone else, you were nothing but isabela madrigal’s best friend.

and when you were told that the madrigals were preparing for mariano’s proposal to isabela, you felt absolutely hurt and betrayed. you felt your chest tighten as your pain led you to be angry at isabela. and then you were angry with yourself as well.

after walking without a destination in mind, you found yourself at the river hidden within the trees and hills which surrounded encanto. you took a deep breath in, the fresh evening air pleasantly invading your lungs.

you took your buttoned shirt off and then slipped out of your skirt, carelessly dropping them on the rocky ground. you were about to take off your undergarments when you felt familiar arms wrapping themselves around your naked waist.

you took a shaky breath in as you tried to free yourself from her embrace, “isabe-”

she held your waist tighter and closer, feeling your back against her, “can we talk?” 

“why? so you can feed me more of your lies?” you removed yourself from her, facing her as you spoke, “shouldn’t you be picking out dresses for next week? mariano’s proposal has to be perfect, i heard.”

“i didn’t even know until yesterday, mi vida,” isabela explained, “abuela just decided everything for-”

“exactly, isabela!” you exclaimed, “you can never decide anything for yourself because other people make your choices for you. and you just let them!”

“i know that,” isabela caressed your arm, “i apologize, mi cariño."

“you didn’t even tell me!” you turned your back on her as you yelled, not minding whatever it is that she previously said, “i had to find out through the baker, for God's sake!”

“i knew you would be angry so-"

“well, did you expect me to just let this kind of thing slide?!” you yelled as you looked back at her, seeing her pitiful face, “leave, isabela. i don’t want to see you any more tonight.”

despite you telling her to leave, she walked closer to you, running her palms through your shoulders and arms. her hands found themselves on your hips before whispering to your ear from behind, “i’m sorry, mi amor.”

you took a deep breath in, completely distracted by how her hands were now traveling to your waist so teasingly slow.

“i’m sorry for being a coward, and i’m sorry for not telling you,” she genuinely apologized, moving your hair to one side as she kissed the side of your neck, still holding you from behind, “by tomorrow, i’ll figure something out, alright? i’ll talk to mariano about it.”

you found yourself slowly nodding to whatever she spoke of, feeling as if she put a spell on you to make you calm down and completely melt into her. 

she spoke softly once again, “let’s go for a swim, mi vida.”

you found yourself complying with her, doing whatever it is she wanted you to. you felt as if you were hypnotized, or was it just how she naturally made you feel when her hands were on you? you didn't know, but you enjoyed it.

you both were now naked as she led you deeper in the river, her hands never leaving your waist as her dark eyes looked into yours. 

isabela started to kiss your collarbones, causing you to close your eyes as your arms wrapped around her neck. she marked wherever her lips landed on your skin, not leaving that certain area until it bruised.

she looked up at you before wearing her heart on her sleeve and saying, "(y/n), i was wrong. and i get why you're angry, but i love you. and i'm going to be better for you. i promise that i'll do all that i can, alright mi amor? but for now, i want to make love to you."

you gave her half a smile, your anger completely vanishing at her words. you teased, "only if stop making me angry."

she smiled at you as she said, "that's impossible, you're always angry."

"well, it seems like you won't be getting some tonight," you pretend to leave and get out of the water, but she quickly held onto your hand.

"no, no, no," she said, "you're not going to leave me hanging this time, princesa."

she kissed your lips hungrily, pulling you closer as her hand made its way around your throat, making you moan in surprise.

isabela parted your legs with her knee, her other hand trailing down to touch you where you needed her the most.

her finger teased your womanhood, eliciting a moan from your pretty lips. she smirked at your reaction before finally entering you.

she felt so good, God, she felt too good. your moans were an invitation to make her go faster, rougher, just the way that you liked it.

"i never thought that my good girl would enjoy getting fucked in a river this much," she commented with a shit-eating grin, "tell me, do i make you feel good, mi princesa?"

she had two fingers thrusting in and out of you in the most pleasant ways possible, which gave you trouble in responding to her question.

"corazon, i asked you a question," isabela said in a warning tone.

"you make me feel so, so good," you moaned.

she smiled cockily, "i know."

she kept going, and God, it all felt even better with each thrust. soon enough, your nails were scratching on her shoulders as your moans started to sound like whimpers and pleads. 

"go on, mi vida, come," and just like that, you did.

you felt tired as you wrapped your arms around her, your body collapsing. 

isabela laughed, "you okay, cariño?"

"tired."

"i told you, getting angry takes a lot of energy!"

"you take a lot of energy!"

she laughed at you before saying, "it's getting dark. do you wanna join us for dinner?"

"i don't think i can face your family knowing that you had just…"

"made love to you? in a river? and you enjoyed it a little too much?" she teased.

you rolled your eyes, "i'm getting you back later."

"oh? am i also getting my turn this evening?"

"we'll see," you gave her a wink.

i'm officially taking requests! <3

edit: requests are now closed!

raining flowers

order 037, @yogurteume : large classic milk tea with regular tapioca pearls for trsr's Haruto

warnings: none, just fluff!

summary: friends to lovers! where best friend!Haruto ends up cuddling you

word count: 1.2k

barista 🥛's 💌: it was so hard making a moodboard for some reason so i gave up and found this baby ruto gif and look at him im crying 😭

Haruto is your favourite person on this planet and you're so glad you met him. that's the first thought that comes to mind when you find him asleep at his desk, which sits right next to yours.

his head is facing you and resting on his arms, which are crossed over the desk. the sun has started shining into your classroom and its rays are leaking all over Haruto's face. you rush up to close the curtains, shushing anyone who makes a noise.

"Ruto is sleeping!" you tell them. they all give you weird looks, but you don't care. Haruto's sleep is more important right now.

when you return to your desk and slowly take out your notes, trying to avoid disturbing Haruto, you don't notice that Haruto is now facing the other way. because of that, you can't see the way he's smiling from ear-to-ear.

"y/n, i'm awake," he says.

"oh! did i wake you up? i'm sorry," you mumble.

to your surprise, Haruto faces you while smiling.

"no, i was awake the whole time."

"what?"

"you didn't have to tell everyone to be quiet just for me," Haruto explains, smirking at you.

"me? no-- i-- what? i didn't do that!"

Haruto simply ruffles your hair in response before standing up and telling you he's off to buy some snacks. you already know he'll be back with some of your favourite things, too.

sure enough, that's exactly what he does.

"wait, Ruto, why is there a flower here?" you ask him as he puts down all the snacks on your desks. there is a single flower, stem attached and everything, sitting atop the snacks.

"you know how it rained yesterday so you called me to tell me how pretty it sounds?"

you nod, looking away from Haruto's eyes and feeling slightly embarrassed.

"i saw this flower on my way to the snack shop and it reminded me of that."

you look puzzled and Haruto hands you a snack to ease you.

"wait... that doesn't make sense," you point out.

"of course it does! doesn't the rain look like falling petals?" Haruto says, biting into a chip.

"what?!" you laugh at your friend, "if you had said the snow looks like falling petals, i would've said yes, but the rain?"

"well... it's like petals falling in 2x speed," Haruto mutters, "anyways, take it! and put it in your notebook if you want, or something."

you shake your head at him but do as he says, knowing you'll open the page one day sometime later and remember this absurd memory. but really, it's his absurdity that makes you so grateful for him. yet now you can't tell if you're grateful or completely head-over-heels in love--

"y/n! it's raining again!" Haruto exclaims, pointing at your classroom window.

the sky is sunny bright, but just as Haruto said, it's softly raining.

"Haruto... i want to go outside," you mumble, tugging on his arm.

his heart stops when he notice the way your eyes are twinkling, the way you're pouting and the way you're gripping his sleeve.

"let's go," he says without hesitation.

he takes your hand and pulls you out of the class, down the hallway and stairs, outside the school building. your heart races feeling his cool palm in yours, and you wonder if its a friend-thing to blush when your friend holds your hand. you also blame your racing heart on the running despite knowing it would still be racing even if you were standing still.

other students run to take shelter from the rain while some continue playing soccer or doing whatever else they were doing. you and Haruto, on the other hand, stand under the light drizzle, holding hands and grinning like fools.

"Haruto, it feels so nice!" you shout into the free air, pulling Haruto close and spinning him around.

he laughs with you, holding your waist as you hold your shoulders. watching his smile, his precious face against the blurry backdrop of the world as both of you spin round and round makes your heart flutter.

"it's raining flowers," you quietly say once the two of you are standing still again.

"it indeed is," Haruto agrees, brushing the damp hair out of your face and cupping your cheeks in his hands.

you're confused, oh-so confused. Haruto has never initiated this much skinship in your whole lifetime as friends. is your friendship just growing deeper? or is it blossoming into something else?

wet from the rain and with an hour of lunchtime to spare, Haruto suggests that you head to his house to quickly dry off and change. it involves sneaking past the school gates, but that isn't an issue. everyone knows the secret passage, where the gate is broken and you can sneak through.

Haruto still holds your hand as you duck through there and enter his house. he lets you shower and offers you a towel, telling you to stay put in his room while he also showers. you look around, even though you've been to his room many times before in the past.

Haruto walks back in, drying his hair and finding you hugging one of his plushes. he smiles at your illegally adorable behaviour and pats your head.

"are in need of hugs that badly?" he asks, pointing to how tightly you're holding the plushie.

"uh--" you stutter.

"come here, i'll hug you," he says, patting his bed as he sits down on it.

"Ruto?"

"yes, y/n? come here!"

you wonder if this is friend Ruto talking or someone else, but you shrug it off. right now, the offer to hug Haruto is too nice to pass.

the two of you end up on Ruto's single bed on your sides and facing the rest of the room. your back is pressed against Haruto's chest and his chin rests on the top of your head. he draws circles on your arm with his finger, smiling at your scent. you smell like his shampoo.

"Ruto... what are we doing?" you ask, unable to relax.

"we're cuddling," he whispers into your ear, taking hold of your hand.

"no, i mean... are we friends?" you ask, nervously.

you can hear Haruto gulp.

"of c-course we're friends," he replies.

"nothing more than that?"

"nothing less~" Haruto sings.

"Ruto! don't joke around with me," you whine.

he instinctively kisses the back of your head to calm you down, only realizing seconds later what he's done.

"did you just... kiss me?" you ask.

"i--"

"Ruto, do you like me?"

silence. you can't tell if it's good or bad.

Haruto lets out a deep breath before he speaks, as if he's been holding it in this entire time.

"y/n, i like you. i was planning to tell you when i gave you the flower earlier today, but i got nervous," he mumbles into your hair.

you squeeze your eyes tightly shut as butterflies fill you. hearing Haruto's confession makes you melt.

"Haruto, i like you too," you blurt out. you weren't even sure if you liked him or if it was all just your imagination, but your heart must have spoken faster than your mind just now.

"so... can i keep hugging you like this?" Haruto asks, snuggling into the crook of your neck and pulling you closer.

"of course," you mumble, holding the arms he has wrapped around you in your hands.

something in your backpack shifts and makes a noise. it's quiet so you both disregard it. you don't realize and can't see that it's the flower Haruto gave you slipping out of your notebook.
