#freekzout: ruth.

@freekzout

" have you ever been to the met? the opera house, not the museum. " bit of an exploratory question.

and she shoots... " would you like to? "

@freekzout: ‘ what helps you go to sleep? ‘ (your choice!)

memes, accepting

grouchy, sullen: “ this is dumb, ruth. ” it’s not. it is, actually, the sweetest inquiry ever. (august and sleep cooperate each other like a baseball crash against window glass.) in layman’s terms, it gets ugly no good bad.

funke ain’t here. and despite the river of love auggie holds for punky funky companion: gosh, he likes that it’s himself and ruth. alone. chilling. being.

his arms hug his teddy bear. “ go to sleep yourself. you need energy for work. ”

@freekzout

his feet dangle above the ground, latest devised seat the hood of somebody's truck. " 's that supposed to convince anyone, or...? "

@freekzout // ruth asked: you thought it was a secret, didn’t you? 

“I—”

Amelia stares with wide, wondering eyes. Mostly, she is too stunned to do anything but stare for a long, long time. It’s very awkward. Ruth is just absolutely grinding her down. 

“I know it’s nothing to be ashamed of,” she says quickly, as if this must be established first and foremost. “I know I’m not doing anything wrong. I just —” 

She sighs. “I always thought I would end up with a man who works in finance and gets us a dog before we bave two kids and move from our penthouse to the suburbs,” Amelia says quite matter-of-factly. “That’s been the plan since I was just a little girl. And now what am I supposed to think?”

bug steps outside to the front patio of the bar, plucking a marlboro gold cigarette out of the pack and loading it behind his ear, reaching in his jeans for his lighter and finding its usual spot conspicuously empty. ( wallet, keys, phone. ) he checks each pocket with a pat. no light. "fuck," he mutters to himself, glancing up at the stranger not too far away with an apologetic grimace. "you got a lighter?"

@freekzout liked this for a starter!

@freekzout: do you want something to drink?

milena adjusts charlie (her eight months old son) on her hip as she looks around the apartment. god damn, does magda really live like this? she would never, in million years, think magda would live in a place of a similar … construction?

magda must be desperate, milena concludes.

she looks around for a place to sit, but remains standing. her chubby baby son slips slowly down and she keeps adjusting him.

"yes, please. orange juice would be fantastic." is the orange juice in the room with us?

@freekzout | birthday !

Isaac hasn't wanted to go too over the top, but he does shyly present Ruth with a well wrapped gift. Inside is a thick down comforter in a deep forest green - he doesn't know if that's her favourite colour, but it's a colour that reminds him of her, so hopefully she likes it too.

[feraldogweeps]

@freekzout you made me fall in love with you. (ruth magda!!!)

Ruth is being a silly little goose she often is. She is a jokester, right, our Ruth. Yeah, sure. Magda just came up with a whole new personality for Ruth to explain this confession ( is it a confession or is she dreaming? )

Crimson decors her cheeks, she is as red as tomato, mumbling, "what are you saying," and goes back to scrubbing the plastic plate.

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ @freekzout sent in: “ if i pass out here , please make sure i have some lipstick on . ” (ruth + your choice!!)

[🧪] “Now, now— you WON’T pass out, my dear: everything will be fiiine!”

Despite the reassurance, Doc had already begun to rummage through his utility pouch. You know, a simple precaution is all— juuust in case the newly developed gas mask filtration systems had a few… bugs.

“… Now— hypothetically, of course— You wouldn’t happen to have your particular choice in shade with you? I’m afraid all I have on me is purple.”

Ophelia wouldn’t mind if Ruth shared the emergency lipstick, but he wasn’t too positive Ruth would care for it. He held it out. Oo! It was glittery, too!

Positivity anon here! Could I ask you to shout out to your five fave blogs? Just to make someone smile today and let them know you love their blog! Maybe even say a little about why!

Hello Beloved Positivity Anon! Sorry for the late reply, I don't get much done during the week, but the weekend is where I thrive! Now, it's hard to pick JUST FIVE FAVES. So I may have included a few more <3

@plcasantnights // While Corpse isn't active on tumblr anymore, he's still my absolute best friend ever. I love him with my whole heart and we've written countless stories together, we've met irl multiple times, and I just. Don't have enough good to say about this man. An incredible writer, a patient and understanding person, and someone I trust with my whole, authentic self. Long days and pleasant nights, bestie. <3

@cxldblxxded / @yxkanna / @striigon // MOOP!!! A very cool writer with a very keen sense of character creation. I love reading about their silly little guys and I love talking with them ooc! I feel like I can throw any must at them from my EXTENSIVE roster and they're down for it, no matter how silly it is!

@handgiven // WHAT IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT KAI!!!!! emmanuel is SO sweet and SO precious and I hold him so dear in my heart. One of the few characters that can put up with my more annoying characters with a smile on his face, the way Kai is able to write such a beautiful, well thought out angel is incredible. I love reading the eloquence of Emmanuel and love seeing everything Kai puts on the dash

@fangmother // HI HUNTER HI HUNTER!!!! hunter is so fucking cool you guys. they have the coolest posts both ic and ooc and i light up each time they come on the dash with anything new. rainer is so cringefail girlboss and i don't care how many times hunter tells me i'm wrong to love her, i'm still GOING TO!!!

@freekzout / @hungryyheart // VIV MAKES ME NOSTALGIC FOR THE NINTIES AND I WAS BORN IN 1997 SO THAT'S WILD!!! everything about the worlds that Viv has created makes me insane. be it cute little vampiis or straight up government coverups viv is SO creative and so nice ooc! puts up with me even though i forget to answer dms a million percent of the time!! ALSO PUTS UP WITH ANGEL SO A HUGE PLUS RIGHT THERE

@burdenedwithfaith // every day it makes me insane that Prince isn't more popular on tumblr. i don't know anything about the series their character is from and yet and YET I am so so so INVESTED with him! I'm so invested with each little character moment and arc and I love writing with them to see where they're going to take it and take John!! even if you don't know the game their muse is from I highly encourage you to check them out because they're EPIC

@soulmissed // I haven't written a lot with Ruben (YET) but his character is SO well written. Ruben also always pops into my dms when I make a sad/venty post and checks on me and he has no idea how MUCH i appreciate that so i'm saying it here. thank you <3

@mr-pulvis // Ruth. Oh Ruth!!!!!! Ruth has known me since the beginning. Since I STARTED on tumblr! They have followed me through countless blogs, countless cringe, countless silliness and revamping and bad writing. I love Miles to death, I've always loved Miles, but Ruth doesn't get enough credit (from me at least!) for how cool and nice they are and how good of a writer they are. here's to many MORE years of knowing each other!!!

@pistolsister + many more blogs in their pinned! // Even though we've followed each other for a long time, we've only JUST started writing together. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN FULLY RESPONDED TO ANYTHING YET I DON'T THINK IT'S ALL IN THE QUEUE! but mille is very cool, very easy to bounce ideas off of and i love each and every one of their characters. SO well thought out, SO easy to write against and just a sweet person over all!

@wehavefoundthestars // EVE!!!! I LOVE OUR SLOWBURN BOYS!!!! But I also love writing with them with ANY of my characters! we're always in each other's dms after each response excitedly chatting away! a very fun person to write with and be around!

@lovepurposed // hi orion :3 orion and I are also a duo who have known each other for a long while. not as long as some of the people on this list, but we've always seemed to find each other on tumblr some way and some how, despite moving blogs or just falling out of certain fandoms. orion is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and I'm looking forward to writing with orion for a long, long time to come.

@amischiefofmuses // NEVER DID I EVER EXPECT TO FIND SOMEONE IN SO MANY OF THE SAME FANDOMS AS ME. homestuck, invader zim, undertale, hazbin, you NAME it we have it in common. magpie is SO fun to write with, and i think they're just RLLY COOL NGL AND SUCH A GOOD WRITER

@spokewar // MARCI!!!!! so good at writing it makes me insane that they even write WITH me. i followed them originally with sass and their sam winchester but things just blossomed from there into an epic scifi adventure with a little alien prince and obi-wan (AND I HAVENT EVEN SEEN STAR WARS LMAO) marci is super cool and super fun to be around and is a very comforting presence when i get worried about wanting to do something new!

@dumbthink // KC i have followed all over tumblr. i love writing with them, i love all the stories they create, i LOVE all their silly little characters and how well they can analyze LITERALLY ANYTHING!!!!

@freekzout: "we are the weirdos." / accepting.

annette assumes she's included in this, which isn't an offense at all. she's been called far worse, with her large hazel eyes that don't blink quite as much as they should & her stilted speech patterns. she shrugs at ruth's statement, relatively unaffected. "c - could -- could b-be wo - worse. leas - least y-you'r-re n-not bitter 'bou - bout it."

[tellwolves]

@freekzout as ruth said: what a fuss this is. so unnecessary.

harold and maude.

toby wants to say they're just trying to help. having once been a youth that found anywhere but the old family home a nicer place to stay, he understands. finn is better suited to community outreatch, but he isn't the one making up for a stint in jail and a recently expired visa.

he holds his hands up after folding the last t-shirt in his given pile. alright, it says, up to you. "—but, if you want," he begins, low and soft, "you can look at the women and girls' clothes in the next room. or, you know," his shoulders move in a somewhat shrug, "the men's is right over there. s'all just clothes, i think."

he should remedy that. "s'your body." that's better.

[soulmissed]

@freekzout: 47 – slice of life. (from the duo!)

found family starters, accepting

ruth is upset about something. (nope. someone. funke’s the genesis of her vexation. auggie smelled his trouble – and him, in general – a mile off.) ruth has the disconcerted body language which warns funke, answer me or else.

august strays near the door, plastic bags dangling from each hand. “ yo. ” the world’s most awkward, well-mannered yo. “ i, um. bought us groceries. ”

[guttersniper]

@freekzout as ruth said: kid, you got moxie for miles.

razzmatazz.

the compliment tightens something in his stomach. his fingers still tingle from where he'd taken the wrist of the idiot who’d made a swipe at him and bent it over until it no doubt sprained, ragged nails digging in at the skin besides.

he works to keep his voice as neutral, ambiguous and noncommittal, as possible. a small, nearly inaudible clearing of the throat. " s'pose so. "

[vitalphenomena]

@freekzout // ruth asked: do i have to answer? 

“I mean, no.” Burns shrugs.

They’re in the Poughkeepsie house, which is rare, for them, considering how much time Burns spends in the city. But Ruth has a day off, and Burns is sick of smelling farts, so out of town they went.

It’s kind of crazy that Burns has a friend. It’s kind of crazy that Ruth Byrne was willing to, essentially, come to a playdate with him. 

He kicks his legs up in the air, trying to see if his feet can reach the ceiling. They cannot. He is of below average height, lying down on the couch. 

“If you wanna be all secretive and mysterious, that’s your right as a red-blooded American. I just thought we could tell each other stories. If I had crushes, I’d tell you mine in a heartbeat. That’s all!” 

He sighs wistfully.

[starfoam]

@freekzout I think the biggest revelation here is that Lo and Ruth are the same height
