#cuz tbh this is dragging on a bit i kinda wanna talk about something else

[dreemurr-skelememer]

"#it's one of the fairly well known conflicts with joku #she was forcing drink to be canon so hard even tho mye said its fine outside of canon #and she got so mad about it that they 'broke up' #now the star sanses 'arent canon' like #lmfao" legitimately not trying to be rude or anything, but is there like a source or smth for this? wasn't here for the earlier fandom days

some direct accounts from @/nekophy (goth's creator) of an old lost post (bc of a blog issue) directly calling out joku's past mistakes from years ago

i want to iterate that this post is OLD.

despite it still needing to be taken into an account, this is an ages old drama and the ppl involved could have different opinions and/or have changed now, including joku.

i wouldn't know 'cuz i don't exactly care to pay attention if joku has changed or not, so take it with a grain of salt.

i'm only bringing the post back up again from the archives because anon asked.

Taking Care of Their Drunk S/O After a Girls’ Night Out

with Bakugou Katsuki & Kirishima Eijirou 

genre : [ ☀︎ ]  fluff!! & a tiny bitta steam~

hc prompt : how would he take care of you if you come home wasted after a girls’ night out?

author’s note : this is my first time writing headcanons!! idk if this is good hc material but lemme know what you think! :) **gif not mine!!

bakugou:

first of all, blasty is annoyed that you’re going out and ditching his elderly ass at home. it’s a wednesday night so who in their right mind would be going to the club?? sure it’s your close friend’s birthday but they couldn’t just push the celebration to the weekend like a normal person?

sure you have work tomorrow but you’re young enough and it’s your friend’s birthday, they just went through a breakup so you just wanna be there for them, physically and emotionally. and bakugou gets that, but he’s still gonna be crabby about it cuz he usually drags you into bed at like ten pm.

more importantly, he likes to have you tucked up in his arms, nose in your hair and tbh your ass on his crotch. it’s just so much easier to fall asleep knowing you’re safe and there with him, and even though he complains about it, the sound of your gentle snores really lull him into slumber.

therefore he has a hard time falling asleep just because you’re not with him, but then the fact that he’s in his large bed and you’re out and about, looking killer in that sexy clubbing number... he’s gnashing his teeth and twisting in the sheets no doubt. knowing you’re most likely very far from sober doesn't really help either. and just thinking of all the creeps that’re probably eyeing up every inch of skin, every curve hugged perfectly by that black sleek dress he usually loves but really despises right now… ugh, he just can’t sleep with his blood boiling like this.

so of course he’s still awake, very agitated may i add, when scratching noises at the door start at two thirty in the morning.

you’re pathetically attempting to open the front door, but the key to the apartment is almost identical to the lobby key and then… the elevator key is there too and oh my goshhh the mailbox key is so small it’s hilarious!! like it’s a baby or something and idk you’re just vibing, laughing at the mini object drunk off your ass.

and a disgruntled katsuki swings the door wide open while you’re giggling at your fucking keychain like an idiot.

caught like a deer in headlights, your expression actually makes his frown melt into an amused smirk, the corner of his lip twitching upwards. “hey dopey, what’s so funny?”

shaking off the embarrassment, you throw your arms into the air and close your eyes, a great big grin on your lips as you loudly cheer his name.

katsuki has a huge weak spot for you and you just look so genuinely happy to see him that he doesn’t bother to make fun of you further, he just slips an arm around your waist and gathers you inside.

he asks how your night was while he bends down to take off your shoes, instructing you to lean on the door for support because you’re all wobbly and clearly not capable of standing upright on your own. god, how did you even make it back by yourself in one piece?

once the shoes are off, he scoops you up like you weigh nothing. years of training have paid off, i mean, his biceps are probably the same circumference as your skull so… it makes sense that he’s able to carry you so easily but it still blows your mind every time he does it.

sets you on the edge of the bed, kissing your forehead when you ask if he’s always had such sparkly eyes. oh, how they shine in the moonlight. lmao you’re a cheesy drunk. he shakes it off with the classic bakugou tch but you know deep down he loves it.

he takes off your constrictive clothing so all you’re left in is your underwear, and yeah his eyes linger because you’re literally perfect to him. but it’s like three am now and he just wants to get you ready for bed, so he puts one of his ground zero shirts on you because he doesn’t trust himself to not escalate the situation with you sitting naked in front of him like that.

has you sit on the sink counter in the bathroom while he hands you your toothbrush, toothpaste already squeezed out and bristles wettened. as you very sloppily brush your teeth, complaining about how the mint flavor is “too spicy”, he’s busy getting out the makeup remover and wipes.

he watches you do your little routine every night so he’s well versed in what to do. he ties your hair back and you’re surprised, like, how does he know how to tie a girl’s hair?? you figure it’s from past experience so you let him know your thoughts.

he’s red from ear to ear with blush, and he adamantly explains that “it’s not that hard to do, smartass, i didn’t learn from that.”

is all pouty and grumbly as he swipes the cotton pad across your face but his touch is sweet and so careful, loving. you lean into him like a cat, and he gets even redder because fuck you’re really cute.

after you’re done brushing your teeth, katsuki hands you a glass of water and tells you to drink it, or else you’re not getting any cuddles tonight.

“slow down dopey— i didn’t mean all in one go!”

he puts on your skincare stuff too, and he even rubs it into your skin in the right direction and pressure.

you just kinda sit there and then suddenly you’re tearing up because your man is so considerate ?? and gentle?? and he’s just, ugh, perfect and all yours and you’re just really in your feelings all the sudden.

katsuki is shook when he stops focusing on rubbing the moisturizer into your neck to see tears gathering along your lower lashes.

“hey, what’s wrong, princess? did something happen? do you feel alright?”

you just pull him close and hold him tight. and katsuki is the smartest guy you know, he picks up all your social cues. so he softly wraps his strong arms around you, calloused fingers rubbing into your scalp.

“i just really love you,” you whimper, muffled his now damp shirt. “i’m sorry for keeping you up, i meant to just sneak in and slide into bed. you don’t have to do all this.”

he’s quiet for a moment before he squeezes you carefully, letting out a low sigh. “you worry too much, baby. you know i’d do anything for you...” he leans back and his thumb rolls over your wet cheek, eyes half lidded and a small, sincere smile on his lips, “and, i really love you too.”

kirishima:

kiri isn’t really the type to get super overprotective, and he does his fair share of partying so he is more than understanding when you tell him you’re going to the club with the girls.

he does pout a little when you tell him he can’t come, but he quickly accepts the fact because he understands it’s “girls’ night” and he probably wouldn’t want to be there for that anyway. although he does quip out a small comment about how sexy you look in your clubbing outfit, and how much sexier it’s gonna look on your bedroom floor later on.

safe to say you leave the house with a blush on your cheeks and a little heat between your legs.

you’re out with the 1A girls tonight— you’d all stayed pretty close after graduation and somehow you’d finally managed to get a night that all of you could attend. you can’t remember how many rounds of shots go by, and by the time the club is closing, your friends are all in various stages of drunkenness.

tsuyu and ochaco are playing some children’s hand game and singing along to it while they clap their hands together incessantly, jirou and hagakure are stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk as some kind of competition and yelling in indignation, and mina and momo have their arms around your shoulders as they debate what would be tastier right now: takoyaki or taiyaki.

honestly you keep tripping up on the words because they sound so similar, so the conversation just keeps going in circles until one of you finally decides to call a cab.

it’s about one in the morning— the group had left the club to get a snack before the easy mart across the street closed and you’d each gotten probably too many foods, your eyes bigger than your stomach.

kirishima laughs when you walk into the apartment, wobbling a bit with the (surprisingly full) plastic “thank you!” bag swinging around in the air.

“hey babe, whatcha got there? woah now—“

he reaches out and catches you before you tumble over, a red brow raised teasingly at your questionable balance.

“you alright baby?”

his voice is always deep, but it sounds even more intoxicatingly velvety in your drunken stupor, and all you do is give him the eyes with your tongue poking out between your lips.

he laughs at you again, nodding and whispering a “later, eager girl” in your ear as he sits you down on the couch, large hands fiddling with the straps on your ankles.

kiri frowns as the heel comes off, angry red marks marring the top of your foot, the back of your ankle faring even worse with a blister rubbed raw laying there.

you hiss when he touches it experimentally, a look of surprise on your face and frustration on his.

“y’know you’re really deadly in those heels babe, but if i’d known they’d hurt ‘ya i wouldn’t have let ‘ya wear ‘em out for so long…”

he disappears into the bathroom for a moment only to come back with the first aid kit. he gingerly holds your foot with one hand, the other dabbing some antibacterial cream onto the wound. he rips the wrapper with his pointy teeth, and you stifle a laugh at his red hero logo littered across the bandage.

he chuckles at your laughter, pressing a gentle kiss to your knee as he repeats the action on the other foot.

once he’s done and you’re all bandaged up, he sits next to you on the sofa, pulling your legs up across his lap.

he is not afraid to stay up late with you— actually, he prefers it because he just loves talking with you, especially when you’re all giggly and blushy because of the alcohol. plus he doesn’t want you to go to sleep still drunk (which he can tell you clearly still are), cuz he thinks you’ll have more of a hangover and it’s not that he doesn’t wanna take care of you tomorrow, it’s that he doesn’t want you to be in any pain if you can avoid it. he is a gentleman after all.

kiri inquires how your night out was, and you inform him of all the fun you’d had with the girls. he nods as he listens, big hands coming to rub your feet with the tiniest bit of strength— just enough to soothe your aching feet.

he tends to your every need;

fetching you an icy water bottle and encouraging you to drink from it frequently— “take another sip for me baby, I’ll add another minute to your massage if ‘ya do— haha that’s it, good girl!”

turning on the fan when you say you’re a little warm— “you’re hot? yeah i know. kidding. lemme get the fan for ‘ya.”

flicking on the TV and putting on your choice of entertainment. he doesn’t mind that it’s that show you love, even if it’s his third time watching this particular episode— “great choice babe, this one’s funny… hey, what’s that look for? of course it’s alright, i love this show!”  

it’s more of a background noise anyway as he talks with you, genuinely enjoying your company and just being there with you. he just wants to chat with you; share your smiles and hear your thoughts from the night, make silly jokes about the show and hear your laugh, lay his cheesy pickup lines on you even though you’ve been his for quite some time now.

and it’s so cute to him how you stumble on your words and amuse yourself when you’re drunk like this, and then when you remember you had bought snacks he swears his heart skips a beat at your squeal of excitement.

“this one’s for you!” you chime happily, hand outstretched and offering the box of pocky to him. his heart melts a little (okay maybe a lot) at your gift— he’d said he was craving chocolate last night and you had remembered, even in your intoxicated state.

gosh, he really loves you.

he’s about to voice the emotion when his thumb brushes over the perfect spot on the arch of your foot particularly hard, and a loud moan erupts from your lips, your brow furrowing and your lip pinching between your teeth.

you share a heated look before he lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

“thanks babe, but the pocky’ll have to wait,” he murmurs as he tosses the box aside, pushing the bag of snacks onto the floor. crawling over your legs with a sharp-toothed smirk on his lips, he growls lowly, a glint in his crimson eyes. “there’s something else i needa taste of now…”

[blisslilywrites]

How would GOM react if a guy was flirting with you. Thank you in advance.

A/N: basically,,,, RIP DUDE(s) WHO TRIED TO FLIRT WITH YOU AHAHAHHAHAHA.. anyway this was pretty short but i hope you still like it nonetheless/(//w//)/ - lily

AKASHI SEIJUUROU

lol i pity the guy who tries to flirt with you knowing that you’re akashi’s girl</3

no one would dare we all know that

but say some douche didn’t or had the guts to try to flirt with you and say akashi saw it happen

ohohohhooo

rip douche

akashi would walk up to you all smiles and nonchalantly put an arm around your shoulder or your waist and tell you he has something urgent to discuss with you

as he’s about to lead you away he’ll stare daggers at the guy and by staring daggers i mean literal daggers

cuz yk,,, akashi has a pretty intense aura

if mr. douche still doesnt get the message and tries to flirt with you again at some other time….

welp:’(

akashi would probably be logical and let you handle it yourself but if you, for some reason, still haven’t realized mr. douche is flirting with you,,,,, akashi will take matters into his own hands

by ofc lightly threatening mr. douche

akashi’s light threats are definitely more than enough to scare away anybody who thinks they can flirt with his s/o

AOMINE DAIKI

to others,,, aomine may not seem like the best boyfriend 

some other boys might think that and try to flirt with you whether jokingly or seriously

either way tho… it makes aomine pissed af

like excuse you?? that’s HIS s/o no one else can flirt with you bUT him

or… “the only one that can flirt with y/n is me” as he might put it

yeah he’s pretty possessive but he’ll generally not rlly say anything if the flirting wasn’t that much

if it was EXCESSIVE and OBVIOUS flirting tho… well he’d prolly be upset about it:,(

depending on the person, he may get a twinge of jealousy and start an intense make out session later 

or he might get a bit pouty altho this one isn’t as likely

generally tho he’d just wrap his arm around you or call you “babe” and just make it rlly rlly obvious that you’re already taken

by none other than him ofc

and it’s usually enough,,, seeing as he’s a pretty big guy and looks pretty strong too

KISE RYOUTA

kise’s normally all over you and its very much obvious to others that he’s with you,, or at least into you

but if someone were to flirt with you…

he’ll probably try to “intercept” sorry my vocab rlly bad rn the flirting and basically just talk a lot and respond to all your courter’s advances

he’ll leave no room for you or for them to talk and they’ll eventually just leave

after they do,, he’d turn to you and say smth like, “You know y/n,, I rlly dont like it when other guys flirt at you:)”

akjgkl idk just picturing it is just…. klajdlsgjlsbkO{@u5902

anywayyss he wouldn’t do anything much but just be pretty petty bout other guys flirting with you

on the other hand,, sometimes he’d just go like “AHH Y/N-CCHI IS SO ATTRACTIVE AND AMAZING OFC OTHERS WOULD TRY TO FLIRT WITH YOU~~ <333”

he’ll do this when he’s in a good mood and when he doesn’t think the flirting was smth serious or smth that threatens him in any way

he trusts you know enough not to flirt back anyway U.U

MIDORIMA SHINTAROU

midorima is very… awkward when it comes to others flirting with you

it happens a lot,, a lot more than he’d like

and it unsettles him that people actually have the guts to shamelessly flirt with you

eSPECIALLY IN FRONT OF HIM

but poor boy doesnt rlly know how to react

he just kinda,,,

*huffs*

*straightens glasses*

*tells them to stop in a direct manner*

his methods may be… unconventional

but its rlly rlly effective

(plus the fact that he’s huge and very broad scares them away pretty easily)

no one would wanna push midorima when he’s being that direct with them

it simply isnt worth the hassle

MURASAKIBARA ATSUSHI

so the other guys (minus akashi) are already pretty big and scary enough to make those feeling flirtatious around you leave

murasakibara is pretty much the same but EVEN BIGGER and EVEN SCARIER

what’s worse is he’s also pretty direct and you never know when he’s actually upset

so if he seems some guy flirting with you

or even talking to you tbh

he’ll walk up to you guys,, and trust me when he “walks up” it looks rlly menacing

and either he’ll just stand there (if he has nothing he wants you to do) 

or he’ll just drag you away to get snacks or go home or go watch him practice basketball or literally anything rlly

if he decides to just stand there and much on some food or smth.. its gonna be rlly lowkey scary

like just imagine this giant staring down at you with an unreadable expression but very much possibly an angry/upset one

yeah it can be pretty nerve-wracking for those who arent used to him

and its normally more than enough to get any guy to stop flirting with you

[slasherwife]

🐻Oh, I stopped to think, how the Slashers would react to their S / O being a witch who reincarnated (doesn’t remember the past life, except how she died.), She does rituals (using some potions, animal bones and blood itself). to raise and control plants and a power related to his death (possibly fire) and have nightmares about his death that usually have phantom pain and vision (in the midst of flames and smoke for example.) kisses from Brazil 🐻

Slashers react to a witch s/o

How do the slashers react with you doing tarot, moon rituals, playing with energies, making potions and doing spells?

🌹🌛🌕🌜🌹how do they react to you controlling the elements and getting forewarning of his death?

Thomas Hewitt

Thomas is lowkey intrigued?

Doesn’t even know what this stuff is??

He’s pretty much clueless, but that doesn’t mean you can’t teach him

If you tell him you’re a witch I have a feeling he’ll be taken aback

“B-but the Bible says—“

“No no, the Bible was originally Aramaic, Tommy— and ‘witch’ in Aramaic meant poisoner, my love. I never poison anyone.” 💖💕💖💕

That should do it 😊

Anyway he will still be bewildered a lil bit, just peepin around the corner watching you doing a tarot reading like Ow0 wot

Will catch animals for you to use for rituals

Do you need human bones too? Cuz he’s got you covered 😊💕

But hearing of your past life death? Seeing you play with fire and plant energies? How the universe practically bows to you? He sees you completely different.

He was standing on the back porch, watching you walk towards him as the grass waved to you and the trees bent in your favor, and he never wanted to be apart from you 🌹😊

You are a starlit goddess, sent to him by mistake— and he thinks you belong to the stars above or in the clouds~~ anywhere but his dark, sad home 😓💖

If you have nightmares about his death, he will go under your wing —begrudgingly— under your constant protection

He doesn’t believe too much of your visions, but he hates seeing you upset and his dark goddess doesn’t deserve paranoia 🥀😓

Jason Vorhees

Whatever Jason thinks, he at least acknowledges at his zombie phase that he isn’t exactly considered natural either.

Tbh you guys would be a total power couple 🤗🥺💖

He would be probably more understanding of your occupation than Tommy, and would embrace you fully 😊

Like “I knew my y/n was special. I knew it!” 😊💕

He doesn’t like that you use animal bones though. “Why the poor animals y/n?? Use human bones instead— here.”

He thinks you have superpowers hah

He loves when you raise the plants to be alive again— it’s like you keep it spring all year and he loves it 🥺💖💕💖🌷

Will be happy that you have them so you can protect yourself if need be 😊

Once you tell him about your past life death and how you can manipulate elements and that you’re getting forewarnings dreams of his death... he won’t be too worried.

First off, any thought of you dying in general is caused him literal physical pain. So he didn’t like you talking about that 🥺💕

You controlling the elements, Fire? He will follow you anywhere hon’. 7’1 immortal zombie legend murderer and powerful sorcerer/ess/witch? Biggest power couple 💕🙌🙌

And then lastly, the only thing Jason will worry about from your dreams is how you will manage with out him. That’s literally it 😂🥺💕💖

He knows he will come back eventually, you can’t kill Jason forever— he physically can’t stay dead lol

He will sheepishly miss all the crazy sex you guys have been having, but you stop your worrying! Jason’s like “my poor bab don’t be so scared— I’ll always come back!” 💕💕💖💕

Michael Myers

Will 1000% pretend your powers don’t interest him.

But just know that he’s peeking around the corner when you absent mindedly play with the candle’s flame while mixing a clarity potion, literally on his toes 😂💕

He loves to be around you when you’re doing candle work, making a potion, practicing controlling the elements— because you exert this powerful and foreign energy aura that’s comforting to him 😊💖💕🥺

Another slasher that will go on a midnight trip of catching animals for you because “ANYTHING FOR YOU, MY GODDESS— 😫💖💕💖💕”

But you wouldn’t even ask for it, he would see you making spell charms or bags with animal bones in it—

And then next thing you know he drops a sack of birds and a goat next to you and walks away???🤭

Do I know where he got the goat?? No I fucking do not xD but it kinda stank so you had to drag it out the back door and get to work 😣

And then obviously he’ll give you human bones as well lel 💕

He likes hearing of your past life death, he thinks it’s cool lol 😊💖

Getting forewarnings of Michael’s death? K.

He wouldn’t be bothered really, but he obviously doesn’t want to die— he’s too stubborn for that 💕💖

This is the only time he will ever listen to you xD barely

Basically like “too bad—I’m going out tonight. But I’ll ‘be careful’ or whatever the fuck you said.”

Another huge power couple btw 🙌💖💕

Bubba Sawyer

He thinks you’re so cool 🥺

He’ll think your tarot readings are a game and he’ll pick up random ones and look at them

(He likes the pictures) 😖💖

He’ll be so curious, like snooping around when you’re doing a ritual, snuggling up against you when you’re saying an incantation—

He’s like a cat💖💕

Oh you like animal bones? What a surprise! His house is literally full of them. 😶🌷

Ya you have an endless supply of animal bones— you won’t ever run out 😂💖💕

You died in your past life? WHAT? Why? *crying*

He will snuggle you all night when you tell him that 🥺

Also thinks you’re a goddess that was sent to him and can NOT wrap his head around the fact that you two met by chance 🥺💖

Cherishes you every single day and will probably be super clingy because you’re just his strong woman who deserves everything for the queen she is— *INHALE* yeah. 😖😖💕💕💖💖

Wait. What? You dreamt of me dying? What abt you will you be okay my little blueberry muffin??

He won’t careeee but at the same time he wants to stay with youuuuu😖💖💕

Just so he can stay alive to be with you, he’ll do everything you say to stay safe and will follow every protocol much to Chop Tops annoyment. 🤷‍♀️😊💕

“No, sorry—Y/n says I can’t do that.”

I love you two together, it gives me the feels 🥺💕💖

Bo Sinclair

Ooooh niceeee

Lowkey interested but probably won’t show it 😆

Like u do u— don’t know don’t care as long as you keep making me pbjs

Prepare for bewildererd looks when he walks in on your using blood/bones for a particular ritual 😳

Like you’ll just be sitting on your bed with your eyes closed, holding a black candle trying to banish negative energy and he’ll walk in—

“Want me to leave...?”

“Shhhhhhh....”

He’ll probably come home one day with an animal skull or something like, “babe I found this owl beak... you want it?” 😂💖💕

He’ll probably tell Lester to catch something while he’s out and about, and then take it and tell you that he got it for you all by himself😂💕

Lowkey scared of you sometimes

He’s not scared of blood, but like y are u using it..??

Tried not to piss you off too much so you hex him or something xD 💖💕

You: *manipulating fire and wind out back*

Bo, walking in on it: bitch what the fu—

If you tell him you’re getting visions of his death, he’ll probably be super skeptical and give you it a smartass remark— probably ask if you’ve been smoking the mugwort too 😳😶

But if you persist on it— he’ll get frustrated but will listen to you because he doesn’t like seeing u upset 🥺🌷

Brahmsie

Bitch wtf u doin?

So confused— explain now

This little shit will go through all of your stuff and take what he thinks is cool and will probably piss off your deities (if u have deities) 😂

You’ll have to make him apologize and have him give it back~~which I wish you the best of luck w 😂💖💕

You’ll just be minding your own business when Brahmsie is looking at your things—

The he legit looks at you dead in the eyes and takes your dragon figurine and disappears into the walls, much to your panic 😓😶😶

But since you can do all this stuff, now 3x more scared of you even tho you’re a small bean in comparison to him— 😳💕🌷

You threatened to hex him if he didn’t start actin right and he started being nice real quick 😂🙌💕💕

Where did u get that blood? 😶😳

Using animal bones? Use the dead rats y/n! Duh!

Bonus for him if he manages to sack the grocery boy and take his bones too 😶💘

“ANYTHING FOR YOU MY QUEEN!” 🙌😭💖💖

If he finds you controlling the elements and sees u controlling fire.... he leaves immediately dont you know he’s terrified of fire??

Yeah uh he demands in a shaky voice that you stop doing that or else ☹️😶he doesn’t like fire at all

But that’s okay cuz you’re still the fuckin coolest person hes ever been w! 😆💘

Wait wut...? You’re saying I’m gonna die? UWU SAVE ME Y/N I DONT WANNA DIEEE

He will literally get so scared when you tell him you’re getting forewarnings of his death, and will go under your wing definitely the most willingly 😅💓💓

Whatever, more cuddles for him! And some other things 😏

I hope u liked ittt! Sorry I’ve not the time to post ANYTHING lately— it took me 5 days to finish this one because of how busy w school I am— but I hope you like it!! 💖💖

Back on Love (Relentless pt.2) - Vince Kovac x Reader (Tangle)

The Honey

Author’s Note: I’m back on Vince Kovac TBH he never left, he’s just been kicking around. He knows when I need him, and gosh, do I sometimes need him. ANYWAYS. You’ve been waiting on part 2. So here we go! Disclaimer: I own no characters from Tangle, nor any plot lines / lyrics not mine.  Premise: The only way to keep Vince Kovac is to keep him guessing, and that’s exactly what you aim to do... But there’s shots coming at you from all sides, and if you want this one to last, you might just have to give in... Words: 4202 Warnings: Swearing / more sexual banter

________ I am so confused, I don't know what's up or down Should I leave or stick around? Am I lost or am I found? He's throwin' wisdom like a poet, Throwin' tantrums like a child But when he holds my hand, My pulse runs red and wild I was a fighter for my freedom, Now a fool for his touch He is a nightcap, a brunch buzz... Next to the nightstand I'm taking every pill he's got My head, my heart, my throat, my lungs, My stomach all in a knot I swore off suitors and the never-ending, needless drug I learned my lesson and I thought, "Yeah, I've had enough" But I'm back on love Back on love ...I'm a loser for this man I've been lost since our first date He is a tight-rope talker, I can't balance at all He says it's fascinating watching me tip-toe and crawl... My best friend made a list of ways his love is off-track But I don't give a shit, and I refuse to call that bitch back He might be messin' in New York He might be messin' with my head But I'll do anything to keep him messin' in my bed

---

And so the work on your house continued. Only Vince seemed much more intent on simply checking you out rather than continuing anything verbally suggestive. And you would watch him too. Any conversation was kept professional and for once he didn’t hover, or tell you anything was wrong with your design. But it was bothering you... What had you said or done wrong? Heck, you missed his constant banter, it made work worth going to. On the eve of completion, Vince stood against the same door frame he always had, to watch you. You were packing everything away, looking at least a little forlorn. “You know, if you wanna change your mind this is the last evening...” you slung your bag over your shoulder. He raised an eyebrow; “Who said I’d changed my mind?” “Well. If you wanna have a celebratory one-night stand... which, is how I thought this was all going.” You stopped at the look on his face “... Why do you want a relationship out of me?” “Who said I did!?” He folded his arms “You didn’t have to. If you wanted to f**k me Vince, you would have done it that evening - or you’d still be shamelessly flirting with me every day.” “Problem is I’m too curious.” “About what?” “You...” He stepped forward; “The way you come off in your professionalism, versus the woman you might very well be underneath but wouldn’t let on to. See I want her... but I also want you. And I figure even a good amount of casual f***ing wouldn’t get me both.” You tipped your head “No. You have to earn me.” “Exactly. And I figure I’d been going the wrong way about it.” Folding your arms you weren’t exactly sure where this was heading; “... Why are you still here?” “Because I want... this...” Vince pointed from your feet and drew a line up to your face “...hanging out with me at the weekend, shotgun in my car, working on her drawings when I get home, coming home late from all her big meetings and just chilling with me and a glass of wine. But I also want whoever you are hiding under that - that you keep giving me flashes off - in my bed every night, and in the back of my truck on occasion. Y’know?” You couldn’t resist the chuckle; “That was endearing for half a second there...” “No but, do you understand... if this remains professional I will never truly know you and if all I get is to f**k you, then it’s just as bad. And when you meet someone else, and move on and settle down then what am I?” You let the pause hang for him to answer, “No one. F**king no one.” Literally and figuratively you’ll reckoned. Though with a face and attitude like his, you weren’t sure it’d take him long to get over it. “...But why are you here, now?” There was a silent oh! Before he smiled, “To ask you on a date... Saturday?” You were shocked, and for a minute you stepped back “You’re... serious!?” “Yeah!” “A date? Vince Kovac...?!” “Yeah. I’m open to what - but lunch or dinner is cool with me and if you don’t want candle lit, we can do this as casual as you like...” Vince gave a shrug “I know some good places - not near Kew mind! We’ll take you somewhere else...” He scratched his head awkwardly, and bit his lip; “...I just, think I wanna get to know ya...” *** You accepted his offer, not even pretending to do it begrudgingly, and you went out on Saturday for lunch to a cafe. You weren’t about to fall into this, and you were still weary of his attitude. But you were just as interested in him as he was you. Sure, he wanted to go on dates with you; but what was he doing when he wasn’t here? Was he simply taking his one night stands elsewhere until he got you in bed? And then what about when he managed that - would a taste be all he needed before he did move on to other things? You really wanted to be sure of this before he so much as got to kiss you again. And yet, part of you craved an ending to that evening... But his date suggestions were never bad, and it was him chasing you. Sitting at work drafting houses for others was extremely fun when every so often your phone would alert you to yet another text from Vince. And you wouldn’t even have to look at it; just smirk. Because you knew. Who else was going to text you? Most of your friends were here - or simply wouldn’t have the gall to bother you at work. And they would always read similar: I can’t stop thinking about you... Can we go out again this weekend? When are you gonna let me take you to dinner? To which you would often respond with - Shouldn’t you be working!? ;) Weeks passed and Manuel noticed something was up. But never directly addressed it - until one day he swung by your desk with a massive smirk on his face. “What?” You looked up from your computer. He leant on his hand, still smirking; “What!?” “I just ran into Vince Kovac in town.” “Oh yeah?” “Yeah. Was telling me all about this architect he’s seeing. Says it’s going pretty well... forgot to mention a name but from what he’s saying...” You tipped back on your chair, daring him to say it. “It’s you isn’t it.” “I’m sure he bigged it up.” “Ffffff... unbelievable! Vince Kovac?! I thought you had taste!” You threw your pencil at him, to which he laughed “You coulda given me any card. Any card - there’s a reason you gave me his, and you know it.” “He’s your type.” “Oh, divorcee and known cheater - my type? Thanks!” “Well it’s clearly NOT stopping you!” You bit you lip and conceded that point; “I like him, yes.” “Is it serious?” “He wants it to be...” you shrugged “with his stats I’m being careful.” “Vince the kinda man you can be careful with?” “Meaning?” “Well, off to the next one...” Your phone pinged as if on queue, and you grinned “ He’s the one chasing me, Manuel...” you picked it up. “Vince Kovac with a girl like you... I believe that’s what we would call a travesty...” he shook his head “Alas I must call myself responsible!” “You must...!” You smiled back “Guess I should be weary he’s telling everyone!” “Not your name though..! For which I would be grateful! Or the press will get hold of it.” “Thanks!” You responded dryly, then tapped away a text to Vince expressing your horror at the new found information. Shit! You work with him?! Yeah, how do you think I got YOUR card!? I’ve been on projects with Manuel for ages-! Damn! Look I’m not telling everyone! I should hope not! If you wanna see me again! Aw c’mon, you’re not serious! Just to make him squirm in his head a little you left him on read, and looked back to Manuel who was waiting patiently for you to finish. “He does know who you are, doesn’t he?” You scoffed “I doubt it!” “Why cuz then he really would be telling everyone?” Manuel nudged your arm “Vince Kovac just got to build a house for a big shot architect - how many awards have you won??! How many times have you been featured in something-!? That blue in your hair is literally your signature! You gotta let Kovac Construction brag about that somewhere...!!!” “And they can, eventually! Just not yet! It’s better he doesn’t know!” Suddenly your mobile was buzzing; “See! Now he’s calling me!” *** Truth was you realised just how hard you were falling for him and that you couldn’t stop yourself. So you let him take you to dinner, and fell as deep as you possibly could into this crush while he sat across from you in his best attempt to dress up, and waxed lyrical about anything and everything he could put his mind to. You just liked hearing him talk, it didn’t exactly matter to you what the words were. But he listened too, because he wanted to know more about you - and he’d said such when he’d asked you out in the first place, so you figured you might as well let him. But you liked the way he would smile – and when Vince asked questions he didn’t keep them on the surface; yet at much as he wanted to dig into your life, not one of them was disrespectful and if you happened not to want to answer him, he didn’t push the issue… And so your relationship became that little bit more real, and before you knew it he was staying over for much longer than just one night... But you were still holding back, and you knew it was driving him crazy. “Good things come to those who wait, you know that right?” Though sometimes you doubted Vince Kovac had waited for anything he wanted in his life. “But great things happen really fast also!” He grabbed you by the waist and hoisted you up, walking towards your bedroom - you were giggling; “Oh no! Not to this girl!” “Nonsense!” “Vin! You can drag me back – it ain’t happening!” *** Your decision to discuss Vince with your friends was a bad move. You thought perhaps detailing nearly every little thing would help you figure it out... or... help them to help you. Apparently not. Instead you got a long string of complaints - that usually began with a sigh and the word “Men!!!” Some were a little more understanding, and would nod and listen before giving their two cents. But, others just wanted to lay into him for all they were worth. And that included your best friend… which was a little more awkward, so say the least. Because she was the one you wanted on side most. “Sounds like you should shift him before it gets to late!” “What-!? Why?!” “Isn’t it obvious-!? It doesn’t sound like he wants a real relationship, Y/N, just that he gets off on cheap thrills!!” “The guy practically lives with me - you’d think if he was like that he’d have given up. Surely they want it to be easy??” “Thrill of the chase, probably.” Well that wasn’t exactly the most helpful thing you’d ever been told. “So the answer is dump him?” “Before he uses you and you get hurt!!” “What if he’s not using me...” “You wanted advice-!” “Yeah, But I think asking me to get rid of him is a little extreme-!!” She huffed, folding her arms and looking you dead in the eye; “Is it, though?” When you couldn’t hold her eyes, with a sigh of your own she decided to be a little more brutal; “That man wants one thing and once you give him it, gurl, he will drop you and go f**k something else. He sounds God awful - give him the boot.” You shook your head. “Why do you want my advice if you’re not gonna listen!? Are you really gonna stay with this guy-!?” “I don’t know! Maybe I just want to prove you all wrong—!!! Maybe I just wanna prove myself wrong!!” “Babe…” She lent forward in her chair and took your hands in hers; “I don’t want you to get hurt. I’m just looking out for you... you do know that, at least?” “I do. But I don’t know what to do!” *** Today as he walked around getting ready and you sat up in bed, arms huddled around your knees – he decided that whining was his last-ditch option. Is it ever gonna happen-!? Like seriously what do I have to do?! You wanted to be careful about this, because whilst you didn’t want to lose him, not now, he still didn’t know who you really were. And you couldn’t give yourself to him when he didn’t. It wasn’t fair on either of you. Vince Kovac had to know you… and evidently that time was now. You took a breath, like delivering an ultimatum. “You don’t get to sleep with me until you google me...” He stopped wander and turned back to you with a raised an eyebrow; “What?” “You seriously mean you haven’t??” You ran a hand through your hair - Vince was up early to jog before work, and he was meant to be on the site just as early today. It wasn’t like to hadn’t chucked his name into a search engine to look at his company. You would have done it before you met him, if you’d have thought about doing so before you were half way out the door. “No, why would I...?” You shook your head at him, you were surprised, because he seemed like the type... but now he was curious. And he picked up his phone.You held your hands out; “Woah-! No! Do it when you’re at work or something!” not in front of me, anyway! He laughed “if I do it now, I can sleep with you now.” “Before work? Huh?” You raised an eyebrow in near enough disgust at his suggestion, “Can skip the run and just burn calories here...” Vince smirked, making you throw a pillow at him, “Shut up! Check it at work, after your run...!” “Why?!” “Not in front of me!!” He placed it down and leant across the bed; “Why should I do what you say?” You couldn’t help yourself, and grinned as you pulled him to your lips, “…You do  pretty good job of it so far…” ***  Vince did wait, because hell, he’d already waited this long. What was another work shift… Typing your name in he wondered exactly what he was expected to find. Then stopped dead and almost dropped his coffee. The first was a website - your name - extremely professional. Too professional. And the Instagram and Twitter to go with it. Both with the blue check mark. And then; F/N L/N to join ATD conference as key note speaker “ATD-!?” He clicked it “Holy shit!” That was a US based conference. And apparently you were going to be flying out to be a key note speaker along with two people he’d actually heard of. International superstars… Who the hell were you-!? He skipped back, and it was news story after news story about projects you working on, accolades you’d won and interviews you’d given. “She’s not just any f**kin’ architect, is she...?” He took a deep breath and exhaled. Damn, Kovac, you’ve really done it... When he got home you were sitting preparing for a client meeting tomorrow. It was drawn up, you just had to make sure to condense your proposal presentation. He trudged into the room slowly, and you looked up expectantly. “Just... who are you?” He got a little closer “You’re not... just an architect... are you?! Heck - you’ve worked with people that people not even in industry have heard of-! Y/N...! Just--!!” He laughed a little nervously “How out of my league am I here?!” You scoffed at that notion “YOU-!? Out of your league-!? Sorry, Vince Kovac, but no!” “But, I-! You’re making headlines around the world-!! Forget just Australia and I... I’m... I’m doing okay in Melbourne sometimes, I guess.” He ran his hands through his hair “You even have a signature that means people can tell when a building was drawn and then realised by you - there’s a whole damn article I read about that... and let me tell ya something, those buildings are gorgeous.” You leant on your hands with a smirk “Baby... you just built my design. You just built a house for me. And what’s more, you can now say that with context. How many people get to say that that ‘do alright in Melbourne sometimes they guess’!?” But you blushed a little “Thank you... though. I worked hard, but, part of me thinks I was just fortunate...” He sat opposite you, looking like that was the last word he would use; “You created a movie theatre that looks like a film reel.” “Oh-! In my home town?! Yeah that was my first one!” You beamed “it’s been a good while since then.” “That’s genius.” “It was stupid. And I tested a lot of limits, and many more nerves!” You grinned “That’s all we wanna do - bend physics to our will and defy gravity.” You pointed to him, “You’re the level headed ones that keep us firmly on the ground - preferably with cement.” You shrugged “But like I said before - you realise our vision too. And sometimes better than we could ever hope to draw it.” He leant on his hand and stared at you for a minute “…Your height and your hair… That’s the other one.” “Oh, tabloid headlines about the miniature blue-haired architect who likes doing weird things with glass and metal?” You’d read enough of your own with great dramatic effect to friends of yours. “…What’s the dream, Y/N… Surely you’ve… what are you doing in Melbourne?!” “…Well I preferred Sydney, but my company moved me down here… As for why I’m with a company, because I assume that’s the next question, I’m not quite Frank Gehry just yet… I like it in Australia… it’s home…” He took another breath; “Why me.” “Why not you?” You folded your arms and leant over your drawing; “…Who should I be dating? Who better than someone who owns a construction company – I already said you’re meant to keep my feet on the ground – you understand my industry, and you’re from home. Believe me – whoever you think is in my league, I’ve been there and done that, and honey… none of them are you.” You tipped your head, because his expression was still nearly unfathomable, “So… What are you thinking?” Vince sat back for a moment, and mulled it over in his mind, before his blue eyes came back to yours; “…Like I haven’t earned you…” and then quieter “…I’m not the kind of man who deserves this yet.” *** There was some kind of weird element to your relationship for a few days after that. And Vince continued to be a little awestruck, even if he pretended it didn’t phase him. You didn’t really mind too much, but it was a little strange to think his attitude would change just because he knew who you were. Maybe he felt like now he had to prove to you he was worth it; but then why just because you were a little more well known than you’d ever let on did that instantly mean you should demand respect. Vince should be displaying that outlook no matter who you were... That didn’t mean it wasn’t sweet to have him act like this with you. And suddenly everything was a little more delicate and he toned down his more vulgar forms of flirting. Which was funny because you basically just toned them up, and that seemed to confuse him that little bit more - but had him smirking at every sentence you would say. And you knew that secretly, though he might not say tt at the moment, he was loving every single second. This playful tone you were running with let him know that you trusted him enough now - that whatever he wanted to do to you you’d most certainly let him do. But he still gave you that I gotta earn you look.  This morning when his alarm went off he wound his arms around you; “Come running with me...” “No...! It’s too early...” You groaned, you weren’t due into work until after 10, and you were expecting a lie in… apparently no such luck. You knew Vince wasn’t about to leave you alone. “Come running with me...” His voice was more persistent as he kissed your shoulders, your neck, along your collar bone and when you giggled and tried to hide your face in your pillow he kissed that too; “Vin! No!!” “C’mon...” you weren’t deterring him from his trail of kisses; “I thought you liked running before work...” “On my own terms...” you peaked at your own clock “Not at this ungodly hour..!” “Y/N...” he kissed you again, sighing your name in a way that made your skin prickle. Oh. You felt him grin; “C’mon...” the run of his hands was dangerous and you caught them in yours “...you can’t tell me you don’t wanna...” “This early..?” You grumbled; face still in your pillow “Mmm...” he pulled his body warmth from yours, which made you groan again in discontent as he pulled you up. Why is he such a morning person on the days I don’t wanna be-!? “Vin....” You whined, as he placed his hands either side of you this time kissing you into silence “Come on. What are you afraid of? You won’t beat me?” “I believe the word partner doesn’t mean it’s a race!” “Dunno. It’s kinda a race...” You smacked his arm and allowed him to drag you the rest of the way out of bed; “See!” He coaxed half in mocking “Then you can be back in bed before you know it... orrrr...” he smirked “you could come shower with me.” “F**k off!” You stretched, with a yawn, “...I’ll be way too awake to fall back to sleep and you’re for sure earning the shower thing-! You WISH that thought would cross my mind.” “Though it clearly does...” he smirked again, but then sighed; “And I know… I’m well aware now of exactly who I’m earning…” You scoffed and proceeded to push past him to get ready, “Feisty this mornin’ are we-!?” “Blame yourself-!! You woke me up!”   As he predicted, you were running circles around him by the time you were half a mile up the road... you ran ahead and then tracked back, looped around him - ran off again and did the same.“Vinnnn—!” elongated pause “Hurry uuuupppp—!!” Vince sighed, frustrated “This isn’t exactly partnering with me now, is it!!” He heard you laugh but you didn’t respond until you wheeled back; “I told you before, you gotta keep pace with me babe.” “Definitely did not think that conversation was really about running!” “And maybe it wasn’t!” You gave a wink, “Are you asking me to slow down-!?” “Yeah then I can actually, y’know - talk to ya!” That made you laugh again - and you sprinted another tight loop before slowing down to match his pace and rhythm. “Better.” There was a slight growl of approval to his voice that made you raise an eyebrow,  “Geez, how do you run this slow.” “F**k off!” Again your laughter filled the quiet morning air; “I’m kidding this is like a good distance pace, babe, I like it! I got no problems!” “Oh yeah-! Sure you don’t!” You laughed again, nudging his shoulder playfully with your own – as you made sure to keep within brushing distance of him. “Not with your running anyhow.” “Oh, for F-” *** Given to who you were, sometimes you had days where clients would contact you from your website – rather than going through the company – and wanted to talk with you about drawing houses, or offices, or the like… These calls had a habit of being at odd times, with you in Australia and them /almost anywhere else/ in the world. And that left you always looking for something to do on the days they rolled around. And huffing to yourself about why they couldn’t be Australian millionaires; because if it all went smoothly, you supposed you’d likely have to travel to their country of origin. Today was such a day, and you weren’t about to sit around at home all day waiting… So you drove yourself into Melbourne.  “Excuse me… Are you… Y/N...?” you were in town, doing some shopping of your own when you heard your name. It was said almost a little uncertainly; the type of thing you were used to hearing from a fan. A student who was about to tell you that some of your impossible architecture was inspiring their final project... Or anyone who was just a fan of your work. Calm and timid and looking to do anything but inconvenience you. You glanced over your shoulder towards the origin of the voice and froze. Hoping that panic didn’t simultaneously cross your face. Not a student, probably also not here to talk to you about your architecture either - you would highly doubt it. You’d seen pictures, Vince wasn’t attempting to keep his life hidden from you - if he was going to make this work he probably wanted you to meet his kids... But, this was something a little bit different even than that. You turned to her and swallowed hard - unsure of what the correct thing to say even was. But you knew her name well enough... “Ally…” ---

[shall-we-imagine]

WH Characters at the zoo.

A/N: I was watching NCT life in Chiang Mai then this popped into my head so..┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

Elias:

Holds the map and keeps giving directions, even though nobody is actually listening to him. Gives random information about the animals. Reads all the information written about the animals. "LuCa!!1!1 iT sAyS rIgHt HeRe NoT tO tOuCh Or FeEd ThE aNiMaLs!!1!1"

Luca:

Sneaks food to the animals and pets them when no one is looking. Animals love him for some reason?? Which pisses off Elias a lot more than he's willing to admit. "Chill, Prince Elias; it's fine. I know what I'm doing." Still has to be stalked by Elias cuz Luca's not trustworthy, according to him (and everyone else for that matter). Don't even be surprised if he tries to pick up an animal or something.

Yukiya:

Just enjoying himself tbh. Feels kinda indignant towards the fact that these animals are locked up and such but can tell they're treated fairly well, so he ends up feeling slightly better about it. Particularly drawn towards the smaller animals like bunnies and birds.

Klaus:

Trying to make sure he doesn't lose any of them and that everyone stays together. "Serge, goddammit, stop running around; just walk at a normal speed, for god's sake! Luca, fucking put the duck down!!! And, no, Elias, I didn't know that the Caracal is the 10th biggest cat. Zeus, I'll feed you to the lions if you don't shut the fuck up. SIGURD, I SAID I'M CALM, OKAY?!" Just a v v stressed mum basically.

Azusa:

Acts like it's such a burden to have to come along but is actually enjoying himself. Particularly drawn to the animals most people aren't drawn to- like reptiles. Only listens to Elias when it's an animal he's interested in, still doesn't show he's listening though.

Serge:

"KLAUS, LOOK AT ITS COLOURS!" "AZUSA, ISN'T IT SO PRETTY?" An excited child. Loves Every. Single. Animal. No exceptions. Probably comes home with an inspiration for a new invention. Secretly wants to pet some animals too, but doesn't want to disturb them, so he backs off for most of the tour. Except for a few animals he couldn't help but pet. "It was asking me to pet it, okay??"

Joel:

"*sigh* No, Liz, you can't adopt this. Nope, not this one either." "Leon, um, you watch from outside; stop trying to climb past the barriers." Basically a personal babysitter for Liz and Leon. Klaus is pretty thankful for his presence. Also very drawn to birds. And most animals really. Adds some information to what Elias is saying when he decides to listen from time to time.

Leon:

Very!! Impressed!! By!! Everything!! High key wants to free all animals though. That's why Joel needs to watch over him closely. Very friendly with the horses. Completely ignores the do not touch the animals warnings when it comes to horses specifically. Literally jumps everytime he hears a roar. Then clings to a 100% done Joel. Not paying attention during like most of the pictures they took.

Vincent:

"I brought snacks!" Honestly just here for the food. "Can we, please, take a break? I'm tired." Knows some false facts that he keeps adding, just to have like half the group correct him.

Cerim:

Kinda enjoying watching everyone more than he's enjoying watching the animals tbh. Gets dragged around by Guy but is okay with it. Looks at each animal with a different perspective and ends up overthinking how difficult each animal's life must be, and now he's kinda panicked and upset??

Guy:

"I brought snacks!" #2. Another excited child. But somehow more tamed than Serge. Makes friends with random people and guards, which sort of gets them exclusive closer looks at the animals. Absolutely flattered by animals giving attention to him.

Glenn:

Pities Klaus. Kinda helps but doesn't really wanna get himself into any responsibilities cuz, hey, he deserves a day free of responsibilities, too, right? Enjoys the snacks more than the animals.

Leslie:

Ready to actually feed Zeus to the lions. Lowkey watching over the group too. Admires most of the animals. When he's interested, he reads some of the info written, along with Elias. I imagine him to be particularly interested in predators idk why 🤷‍♀️

Mel:

Already resting on the bench before people agree to Vincent's request for taking a break. Quiet for most of the tour. Unless plants were mentioned somehow, of course. Pays close attention to the animals and is the first one to notice if an animal seems injured or such. High key wants to free all animals #2.

Sigurd:

"Klaus, calm down; it's a day off." "How about after we're done here, we go to this specific restaurant and then after it we can..*2 hour long plan*" Also making lots of friends easily. Knows that group of girls is staring at him and will talk to them. (Will keep it friendly though) Finds it amusing to watch Klaus, but that's not new, is it?

Zeus:

"Hey, Caesar, look at that! *points at a group of pigs* do you know them? You might be related." "*points at any animal he finds ugly* Hiro, that's you." A child but not as pure and innocent as Guy and Serge; instead, he's more of an annoying type of child. Almost challenges a Siberian tiger to a duel and at this point, nobody cares if he does tbh.

Hiro:

"Ha ha very funny, Zeus." Ready to actually feed Zeus to the lions #2. Secretly considering throwing Amelia's phone into the pond halfway through the tour. Is very soft when it comes to small, fluffy animals.

Alfonse:

Trying to stop Caesar and Zeus from biting each other's heads off. Also watching over everyone but doesn't make it obvious because he knows Klaus would say he doesn't need help. Is fairly calm. Tries to pay attention to Elias but Caesar and Zeus just would not calm tf down for a sec.

Caesar:

"HeY, zEuS, lOoK aT tHaT!!1!1 *points to a group of rats* dO yOu KnOw ThEm?!?!1?1?! YoU mIgHt Be ReLaTeD!!1!1!1" Just wants to enjoy himself but Zeus exists. Only person enthusiastic about Amelia's repeated need to take pictures.

Amelia:

"Selfie time!!" "Let's take a picture!!" Drags everyone into the picture, which might explain their expressions. (Klaus and Azusa's murderous glares. Hiro and Mel's bored/irritated expressions. Alfonse and Liz's polite but awkward smiles.) Baffled by how graceful some of the animals are. Literally in love with Peacocks and flamingos.

Liz:

"Amelia, it's the 20th picture in this exact spot..isn't that a little bit..um..enough?" Excitedly pulling Joel around and babbling on and on about the animals (Which he obviously finds very adorable). Has a conversation with as much animals as she can. Is deeply offended when an animal ignores her. "I brought snacks!" #3.

EP 1: “Have Fun and Go Far” - Jessy [ PART IV ]

jsesu so i'll make a chat with logan and jenn. alex might have to go. but if lydia can get info from abbey on what's happening on that tribe and see if there's a chance emma could go on that one, maybe we could vote her on this one too. it's a stretch and honestly as long as its not me butttt we see

the dream: logan and I and two or three others in an alliance called mario party in which i am wario and logan is daisy and everyone else is someone else and it slays

A few days in and I've made some major milestones: - logged a solid 30ish couch hours. Time well spent if you ask me - avoided the first tribals which I'm mighty stoked about - shit talked Kait and Jenn an adequate amount - mowed my lawn Still some to knock out... - use the same joke on every person here - scoff down a feast on call - do one piece of physical activity

I am counting my chickens that I was one of the lucky few to avoid tribal completely this round. Came close on one but we caught a lucky break so thank fuck for that. I'm really happy about that. Kinda surprised someone would actually take quite a bit of stuff and take both of their tribes to tribal cuz it makes it kind of obvious who it is since they can be the only common figure on both tribes really. So my guess is is that they will be fucked, but you never know, might be comfortable enough to take an idol clue. I'm sad that Jenn has to go to tribal. 

I'm still trying to find my space since there are so many people and it's virtually impossible to talk with everyone. I really like Jenn on Bering, she's really cool and we've kinda got similar interests. I would like to work with her and maybe Ruthie on Bering cuz I've been able to connect with her too. My chats with MJ and Carson have been a little stiff but I think we're strong enough to avoid tribal tbh. I think 3 of them are winners so like.....come through? On Jannu I really like Jessy! She's a bundle of joy. I'm not sure if her and Jenn know each other or if it's a different Jess but if they were friends it could be perfect for me to use that to my advantage and have them as my anchor on each tribe. I also have Steffen who is like my child! He can be a little full on but he'd definitely be a great shield for me, plus I think he's loyal and we've really wanted to work together in a game so the Stelliance can finally exist! Other people I've bonded with a good bit include Matt. He's definitely someone I'd like to work with and he's on my Jannu tribe so that's great. Jimmy has been really chatty, Ricardo, and pretty much everyone I played with before approached me at some point. Granted I don't want to work with some of them but I'd be down for working with the above too. Lydia & Wes....idk. I currently got no alliances per se so I'd like to get chatting some more and secure majorities on my tribes although I don't want to rush into things. Everyone we vote is most likely still going to be in the game, and that could come back to haunt us at any point. 

Two of my tribes going to tribal???? i guess ill die. Thank god Alex took that damn idol clue and shot himself in the foot but if he has the idol already then LMAO fuck!!!!!! I honestly dont feel safe on both of my tribes... on pink i really want to work with jenn and logan i just pray that they arent working with owen already.  Blue??? Pat is cool. I really need to get myself into an alliance because i just wanna go far and also my flight isnt gonna be here until tuesday fml.

right so pat and I are allies now which is rad i love him and so does lydia. we both sort of wanted to take out emma just bc everyone and their dog loves her and the fact that nick is dealing with some shit we dont really want to vote him out despite him being sort of inactive. ughhhhh this is ugly i h8 small tribes ughhhh 

Interesting Aleeeeeeeeeeeeeex!

I'm getting ahead of myself. Going into last night's results, I knew Kait was already going to tribal council. So when Game A ties, there wasn't enough math in the world to help my tribe. Looking back, it would've been smart to do what the other tribes did and submit quickly and put all tribes at 750. That way you don't lose a time battle and you don't insult anyone by low scoring a tribe and implying that it's members are shady for taking items. I was on call with Kait while it was happening, and so we worked out a potential score for her tribe. To be honest, I wasn't even following what the fuck my tribe was saying, I mean bless Steven for trying to use math and Carson for bringing up the averaging thing because from there (and a helpful pointer from Kait that any score you submit should be a factor of 5) we were able to come up with something salvageable. Except the tribes weren't lined up how I wanted the points distributions to be aka Okhostk (spelling?) to be lowest, so the alphabet to the rescue! Honestly, coming in third was a little to close for comfort because I would've definitely felt to blame had we lost, even though Ruthie and MJ were nowhere to be found. No wait, MJ made sure to pop in for his "do what you feel is right" proverb before excusing himself from the mess. Notes taken Marsellus! 

Now onto Game B. I had been talking to Alex pretty much all day about the challenge, and I'm not going to lie, he had me convinced he wasn't taking anything. Reading back my conversation with him, I did miss a few signs that were painfully obvious, things like him asking if I really thought no one would take things, or him saying the idol clue was the only thing of value. I didn't expect his game to be so impulsive right off the bat. Game B tribes going to tribal council are because of Alex and Simon. Simple as that. Makulu tribe chat starts going off about us having a rat or a snake in the bunch, and Logan, LOGAN of all people, starts dragging him to the point where Owen messaged me separately just to say that he was holding on to his wig. 

Pass me the popcorn, this is what I came for!

Anyways, I'm hopeful because I feel in an okay position on this tribe. I need to talk to Emma more, I know that, but I think Logan and I are solid and last night Owen suggested making a group with the three of us. That's already majority on this small tribe so that's nice but we also have a pretty juicy target that we can vote out without any repercussions. Matt came to me today and gave me the idol clue, and then posted it in our group chat that includes us, Kait and Jimmy. I knew Kait already had the clue because she messaged me last night about it and how Simon was calling Alex a pussy for not being outright in taking something and how Simon was using the oasis is Game B and is relying on Kait and Matt (as his only allies apparently plus maybe Ricardo because of BBHell reasons) to save him. This was a lot of information but it helps because now MJ can't take out Simon in Game B, and instead should target Simon's ally on that tribe in Ricardo. I've never spoken to him before, so Ricardo eventually leaving doesn't hurt my game. Second, this keeps JC safe on that tribe, who has explicitly said they want to work with Kait and I. This would also keep MJ safe, who I'd like to see in the game for a bit longer. Now, Simon's display of trust in Matt and Kait has Kait convinced that her best move is to take out Alex on her tribe as well. Alex's only leverage on their tribe was saying he was going to get voted out of Game B and that if they didn't vote him out in Game A, he would share the clue. Now Kait has the clue, and a promise from Simon that he will do whatever for her, including rocks or throwing the game at FTC, so long as she doesn't vote for him. Now that promise is a bunch of malarkey, anyone can see that, and people who are desperate are dangerous. It leaves the duo of Matt and Simon still in the game, but I do think that Simon is still going to be a big threat and targeted no matter where he goes. Matt would not want to vote out Simon, so by Kait siding with the boys to take out Alex, she avoids rocking the boat this early. Not too mention, it helps the both of us. If my Game B tribe votes out Alex and Kait's Game A tribe votes out Alex, he's gone for good and none of us have to deal with any awkward fall out. That's where I'm hoping things fall tonight, but it's Survivor. 

Besides that, I got a lot of messages last night from people telling me to stay safe at tribal council, which I'm trying to use to gauge my social relationship with them. Obviously they send out lots of these messages to those they see potential working with, so I'm not doing too poorly. I spent a long time talking to Wes yesterday, and he seems like good people. Kait said she had a lot in common with him and I think Jimmy likes him too. Speaking of, so if Kait and I can get out of these tribal councils with no blood on our hands and Jimmy doesn't have to go at all, it wouldn't be a shabby week for us. I'm already struggling with what to tell certain people because Kait tells me stuff she says I'm not supposed to tell anyone else and then I feel bad that I don't tell Jimmy even though I know he's happy enough without the strategy aspect of things or like Owen and Logan looking to get the clue from Alex today and I could easily pass it along to Logan or even both of them to build trust but then it could get back to Matt that I shared it and UGH. No rest for the wicked here huh?

Gage began a conversation with me talking game strategy. I asked him for info on his tribe to get a sense of what he was thinking. He then in turn asked me what was going to happen on Andaman. We're pretty much in the same position. If you are vulnerable on both tribes, the chance that you're the target increases and that makes maneuvering through this game that much tougher. You can't throw challenges anymore, we really have to fight to win everything. This also allowed myself to bond with him, as we are on the same tribe in Game B. This connection could prove to keep myself out of danger if Denali goes to tribal council during the upcoming rounds. This is the new Jack way of playing the game, and by making connections I realized how much it can help me in a game-sense. I am definitely proud of my overall growth in terms of strategy that this game has taught me. I'm extremely pleased. 

I wanted more than anything for Emma to go instead of Alex, but Alex really just isn't responding to me and...??? There's only so much I can do without looking like a crazy person to Logan and Jenn. I can't overcomplicate things. And I think Alex is leaving on his other tribe so... Oh well. If he goes, that's fine now. Maybe I can get that clue before he leaves, but we'll have to see. 

I talked to Lydia and she said that Emma could be going on the other tribe because Pat didn't want Nick to go, but then Logan heard it was Nick and now that Simon has used his Oasis thing Nick could ALSO be going on both tribes... Whew. Either way, I've only really heard the names of people going to both tribals, which shows just how scary this whole thing can be if you're in that position. It's definitely enough ammunition to take someone out of the game.

Jakey has begun to ask me more about alliances and I need to be really careful about the information I give and the things I say because the position is so fragile on a five person tribe. I want to be good with everyone, and I believe I am, but I don't want so much power that it becomes obvious I'm playing people. It'd be much better if Jake didn't want an alliance with multiple people in it...

okay both my tribes won and im screaming!!! im so happy that im not going to tribal at all this round and i can breathe. and update on tribe dynamics:

i asked owen for an alliance and we put a ring on it!!! i trust owen and i think he trusts me too and we dont rly know who we want to work with on caspian yet. basically we dont wanna work with steffen bc we think he's a sketchy and scary player. also trevor basically connects lydia and owen but owen isnt very keen on working with lydia. hes more interested in working with ricardo but we dont want to make anyhting official until we go to tribal and find out if anyone is throwing out either one of our names. communication with other members of caspian has been pretty minimum. absolutely no game talk .... so yeah its boring. 

kait asked me for an alliance and we put a ring on it!!!!! she isnt very good at hiding that she has a good relationship with pat and the two of them are pretty close. i think carson may be in on that. idk i think kait is aligned with everyone on this tribe FKJHFKHJ.. i asked wes for an alliance on like night 2 and i hope we can work together on that tribe. 

alex and simon were the only ones to take items haha and everyone knew bc it was hard to find out that it was them. owen literally told alex to go for the fucking clue IM SCREAMING... AND THEN HE DID.......... GOD...... but alex hasnt given him the clue yet LJKFHKJFH god i rly want him to give owen the clue and for owen to give me the clue and me and jessy can look for it ldksjfhg. but yeah i guess we'll see! i dont think he'll give it to anyone but owen better work his magic. i think alex is being voted out on that tribe and on the others.... i dont rly know! and i dont rly care kdjfgh no one i care about too much is in danger so im just chillin. a pretty successful start to this season!!!

i'm back bitches! so is this dual tribes twist huh ryan won't let me live

let's talk about my tribes. honestly i like everyone on hudson and jannu but like.. i don't think it's mutual. i think i'm very stand offish in these conversations and i don't think people are liking me very much. i'm trying to socialize well but it just ends up being really awkward lmfao

hudson is a cool tribe, i talk to jc the least but they still seem cool. i'm not in any alliances here but i'm thinking of asking wes for an alliance soon and i want to keep talking to logan so they can possibly work with me as well? but i think jimmy and wes are literally the same person so they're probably aligned or something

jannu is a cool tribe as well, i'm just pretty confident there's an alliance there i'm not in. matt and the stevens i feel are probably working together, and that's pretty unsettling. steffen is apparently a big liar and backstabber, and if you pair that together with matt then who knows what you can get! i guess it'll be easy to turn them against each other though if it comes down to it, but it's way too early for  that.

i've been trying to find the idol (without a clue lmao) i was trying to get alex to give it to me but i had no luck. i think he knows that advantage is his life line in the game and he wouldn't give it out so easily. i'd try simon but i think he'd just expose me or something.

i'm close with jake, and i want to be close with emma and lydia. i think lydia is a person i should be wary of, but i think that we can bond really easily as we're both from maryland and are pretty similar. emma is really cool too and i think if we're on a tribe together, we'll end up aligning. i'm going to ask lydia for an alliance pretty soon probably. 

i'm glad to have won the immunity challenge on both of my tribes! i'm only one of 9 people to do so. i'm a fucking LEGEND! i did #that. i'm hoping this can continue so i don't have to go to tribal obviously, i think i'd be in trouble on both of my tribes in that scenario. i just don't mend well with these people! i really like them though, that's the thing. i'm really intimidated.

hopefully this whole thing ends well, because my goal this game is just really to have fun and go far. 

Oh god, I haven't made one of these since premiere night I'm pretty sure! I've been out of town so it's been hard to write anything up!  

I'm so nervous for Alex right now, it's too early for him to go home.  I'm not sure why his greedy ass decided to take something but there is a positive to all this...  HE GAVE ME THE IDOL CLUE! And I just really hope I get an idol and have a bit of fun once he leaves! It's better with him in for sure but maybe him leaving will be better for my game.  I just hope Simon leaves in the game that he and Simon are both in together. 

I'm so glad my tribes and I have our shit together and that I won't be personally attending a tribal council tonight!  SCORE! :D

GUESS WHO JUST GOT THE IDOL CLUE???????

Idk how he'd make this shit up tbh so I think it's the real one unless he changed some stuff but idk why he'd do that to me. I didn't even have to ask he just...sent...it????

Now, idk. I expressed to quite a few people (Kait, Lydia, Steffen, Jake, Logan, Jenn) that I was gonna try to get it out of him lmao. Will I share it....? Probably. It'll definitely help me build trust. But also, this is something that sets me apart and maybe I need that. We'll see :~)
