What people think I mean when I say I like white boys:

What I actually mean:

[bumblesimagines]

this is just flirting. this will always be just flirting.

that's not what you used to say.

Maddy Perez

this is just flirting. this will always be just flirting.

that's not what you used to say.

pronouns: he/him, m!reader

Madeleine Perez had always been a force to be reckoned with. From an early age, she'd always been certain of herself and it shone through her confidence. She was the pretty popular girl with equally pretty popular friends. The cheerleader who dated the star quarterback. The girl who got everything she wanted one way or another.

Or, well, she had almost everything she wanted.

(Y/N) Daley. She'd barely given him a single thought growing up. He'd always been in the background, just another classmate and neighbor who blended in and stayed out of the more popular friend circles. Then, he changed from classmate to project buddy and it blossomed from there.

Maddy loved the attention. She loved the knowledge that she was wanted by others. Nate bruised her ego, he always did eventually, but it'd mend when she locked lips with some random guy who looked at her as if she were an angel that walked the Earth. Guys chased after her with hopes of getting with one of the prettiest girls in school and in hopes of finally one-upping Nate Jacobs. (Y/N) had been one of those guys. His head would turn when she walked by. He'd perk up when she spoke to him. He allowed her to dance around the subject of a relationship. He took the shoulder checks from Nate Jacobs when his friendship with her became known. And then, that disappeared, suddenly and abruptly the attention she had grown to desire and look forward to vanished. 

Not knowing knawed away at her like an anxiety she'd never experienced before. Nate always made her feel small during their fights, made her feel like a lost child looking for their home. He always made her worry, always ran circles in her mind each night. But this time, it'd been (Y/N) fucking Daley doing all those things. It hadn't been until Cassie, confused and concerned at her side, asked a simple yet heart-stopping question. 

"Maddy, do... do you think you love him?" She'd asked, voice soft and delicate as she ran her fingers through Maddy's raven locks. Maddy's body had stiffened, her whole body tensing at the mere mention of love. It had made Cassie backtrack and switch topics, but the question weighed heavy on her mind. She loved Nate. Or, she thought she did at least. He was everything she needed. Well-off, popular, good family, good future. She'd never have to work a day in her life with him, just as she always wanted. But did she actually want Nate or did she desire the life he could provide her?

Maddy couldn't concentrate, even with a bottle of cheap beer in one hand and BB's vape in the other. She stared at the swarm of teenagers grinding and dancing together, drunken voices singing along to a generic song playing over the speakers. Her nail clinked against the brown glass, a slow rhythm as her hawk eyes searched for his familiar face. Cassie stood at her side, phone in hand and her bright screen illuminating her face as she frantically typed. Likely another fight with McKay. Kat stood at her other side, her phone also in hand but awaiting a message. Finally, her phone vibrated. 

"Okay, Ethan says they're he-" Maddy passed the beer and vape off to a barely conscious BB and walked forward, those with sober minds immediately stepping out of the way for her. She slipped around the tipsy and drunk ones, calling out sharp 'excuse me's and 'move's until she reached the less crowded front door and watched with bated breath. It creaked open and Ethan stepped through with his phone clutched tightly to his chest. His brother followed with his phone in hand as well, his brows dipped and eyes focused on the screen in deep concentration. 

"Hey, Maddy." Ethan greeted, trying to sound casual but the high-pitched end to his greeting failed him. She plastered a fake smile for him and motioned over her shoulder in the direction of Kat, watching him nod in thanks and disappear into the crowd. (Y/N) lifted his head and dragged his eyes away from his phone at Ethan's movements, lips jutting out in slight offense at his brother's abandonment. His head tilted in her direction and they locked eyes, prompting her to glide over to him.

"Why do I feel like you're avoiding me?" She asked, arching one brow and folding her arms over her chest. She'd chosen a good dress, the dress that always drew eyes to her wherever she went. (Y/N)'s eyes, however, remained on her face and his casual shrug made her skin prickle. Her arms fell to her sides and she groaned, catching his arm and pulling him down a lonely hallway. He grunted quietly but otherwise didn't protest. 

It was foreign territory. Maddy Perez wasn't one to beg or chase or be tripped up over a guy. No, she was the one who turned the other cheek and moved on to the next prize that would have Nate doing all those things for her. Yet, there she was, standing in the middle of a dimly lit hallway because a guy- her crush- had decided to ignore her. How the mighty fall.

"Why are you so worked up, Mads? We're... classmates who occasionally flirt. This is just flirting. This will always be just flirting."

"That's not what you used to say." 

"No, it's what you used to say." She blinked, and then her heart sank into the pits of her stomach. "Why would I waste my time when you're always going to go back to Nate? I'm the rebound, remember? The guy you to go when Nate leaves and then ditch when he comes back. I'm not mad about it, Mads. I'm just treating you how you've always treated me."

"I-"

"And I prefer it this way."

Who I Ship on Euphoria

Do not take this too seriously. This is just brainstorming. Besides, it is also just a fiction within a fiction.

If I were writing Euphoria, Rue Bennett would really open up to someone, more than she did to Jules. She acts tough, but deep down, she is fragile, so she needs someone sensitive and perceptive about human emotions... someone like Lexi Howard.

If that ship is all too obvious, the Cupid in me feels a lot bolder than to be predictable. Nate Jacobs seems to be improving as a person, but to do so, he has to confront a lot of repressed emotional pain. I feel as though he is in a very needy place right now.

At the same time, Jules is still reeling, I believe, from the breakup with Rue. It would not be something that would last to the series finale, but I feel as though Jules might drift back to Nate, not just out of loneliness, but as a diametrically opposed reaction to being with Rue, Nate's enemy. I think Nate and Jules would turn to each other in a spiral, realize it could not be in the long term, and so go full circle from enemies to lovers to friends.

That is still not as surprising as where else I would go. Maddy has been chasing Nate, and unable to make him behave. His semi-reform has been more for Jules's sake than for anyone else. What might Maddy conclude? She would conclude that she needs a guy who is the exact opposite of Nate.

Well, who is that? The forgotten, meek ex-boyfriend of a character no longer on the show: Ethan Daley. Maddy would feel no attraction initially, but would tell herself she had to change her habits to forget Nate.

I picture Maddy at a party where Ethan is the wallflower, Maddy deliberately ignoring all of the popular and/or edgy boys and telling herself to approach Ethan, downing a drink, then firmly grabbing Ethan's hand.

"Wha-where are we going?" Ethan might say.

"We're gonna f***. It's your first time, so I'll do the work. Just relax, already! I won't bite!"

From this random encounter, the two would form an unlikely, deep emotional bond, as boyfriend and girlfriend, giving them both the happiness that had eluded them.

For another unlikely pairing... sort of: I feel that Cassie's instability would result in her clinging, to some extent, to someone physically very much like herself, in a moment of impulsivity, as much as a means of reaffirming her sense of self as out of attraction in the usual sense. In addition, her relationship with Maddy was so flirtatious as to indicate that Cassie may not be exclusively for the boys.

Though from very different backgrounds, Cassie Howard and Faye bear a remarkable resemblance. I picture Cassie, drink in hand, randomly bumping into Faye (maybe literally bumping into each other), like in a restroom. Cassie would impulsively kiss Faye on the lips (they are Chloe Cherry's lips, so who wouldn't want to?), then Cassie would panic a bit, but Faye, having seen (and done) it all, would be unfazed, and just say, "That's okay". The camera would then cut to another scene entirely, unrelated to this, leaving it ambiguous what, if anything, happened next.

I love the idea of Ethan and Lexi being thespian besties and they star in everything together and ofc sometimes it’s as romantic leads and people try to make Fez feel some type of way about it and he’s just like “whatever, man. That’s my girl and her theater husband, and he cool as fuck 🚬😏”

Fexi Fandom! Pick Which Story!

Hunger Games: Euphoria Edition

to say the results got chaotic was an understatement. never in my life had I experienced a season as twisted as this is, but that's probably the show in general. Something befitting to the drama of the show, nonetheless.

anyway, here are some 'iconic' moments from this Euphoria season...

and the winner is...

[letsreadsomesins-shallwe]

Why is there no Austin Abrams imagines?! Cmon y’all 🥹

[sunflowerharrington]

💋 (for a male character please)

So I’m a march pisces (as you already know haha) and an ENFJ, meaning that I’m outgoing (well, most times, bc I also do have anxiety), affectionate and supportive, I make decisions based on feelings rather than logic and I’m very organized and structured (I literally make some kind of to-do list for everything).

I’m also quite ambitious and I tend to be somewhat of an over-achiever and I also am somewhat of a people pleaser, more often than not putting other people’s needs over my own.

I love reading, writing, listening to music and doing sports :)

I hope that wasn’t too long and ridiculously detailed haha. Thank you for doing this little celebration! 🤍

LIV I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG

eeeeeeeeeek i’m a march pisces too!

okay so this guy is big on affection and loves when you communicate your feelings instead of keeping them bottled up. he’s always there to listen to anything you have to say. he loves honesty. he’s also super affectionate!

he is an avid music lover, and also loves performing as we saw in season 2. he’s charming, fun loving and would do anything to see you happy 🥰

i chose ethan daley from euphoria for you, baby!!
