#goodnight funny little people in my phone

[querenciasturniolo]

Could you do one where Matt and reader have been dating for like, a year and reader has been in multiple vlogs and car videos, and the fans love her. So, when the internet starts going crazy speculating that Matt has a girlfriend, they do a podcast about reader and Matt's relationship and they're flirting the whole time, Nick and Chris can't stand it, jokingly, but put up with it. So, when they release the pod episode, the fans go crazy, and Matt and reader are just openly flirting with each other online and it's all just so cute and fluffy. If you can't, I completely understand. I hope you have a wonderful day and / or night! <3

“Good morning campers, welcome to the Cut the Camera Podcast. I’m Nicolas Sturniolo.”

You glanced over at Matt, eyeing his side profile as he tightened his arm around your shoulder and pulled the mic towards him. It was your fault the secret came out when it did, you made googly eyes at him every chance you got, and he knew every single time.

“I’m Matthew Sturniolo.” He said, looking down at you with furrowed brows and a soft smile.

“And I’m gonna be sick.” Chris said, your jaw dropping in amusement as you whipped your head towards him. He laughed into the mic and shrugged his shoulders. “It isn’t my fault you’re staring at Matt like the sun shines out of his ass.” He said.

You rolled your eyes and pulled your mic close to you. “And what about it?” You shot back, Matt scoffing and running a hand over his face.

“Well, I guess that is one way to start the topic. Why don’t we go ahead and introduce our special guest, Matt?” Nick prompted, Matt uncovering his face and adjusting his headphones. He looked into one of the cameras and smiled, looking back down at you. “Go ahead.”

You cleared your throat and looked into the camera, pulling your mic towards your face and sighing into it. “If you don’t know me, I’m Y/n. I’ve known these losers for a couple of years now.” You said, turning your head and smiling at Matt. “And dating this specific loser for a little over a year, and if it wasn’t for you meddling kids, we could have gotten away with keeping it a secret for a little longer.” Your eyes met the camera again with raised eyebrows and an amused smile. “No, in all seriousness, it’s funny the way everyone found out.” You said.

Matt chuckled and shook his head. “So, basically, this podcast episode is talking about how we met Y/n, how she somehow got stuck with Matt, and how you all figured out the secret.” He said, his fingers tapping against your arm lightly from where his hand was draped over your shoulders.

“And Nick and I are going to try and keep our food down while we’re at it.” Chris said. You rolled your eyes and adjusted your mic.

“Chris is just jealous, don’t listen to him.” Nick said, Chris scoffing into his cup. You threw your head back and laughed, grateful that the microphone only picked up the slightest sound of the raucous noise.

The pod went by smoothly, the four of you bouncing off of each other with jokes and stories that all of you loved. One particular story, you noticed, the fans were editing like crazy.

“Look at this.” Matt said, holding his phone so you could see it from where your head was laid in his lap.

“That isn’t how it happened!” Matt exclaimed, the camera panning to Chris rolling his eyes, and then back to you with your face in your hands to hide your embarrassment.

“That abso-fuckin-lutely is how it happened. You were walking Y/n out, and I ran downstairs to remind her to bring her camera the next day, and I caught you kissing her goodnight! Don’t tell me what I remember, that shit still haunts my nightmares.”

The edit continued, more clips of Chris rolling his eyes at the camera and laughing in slow motion to a song you couldn’t recognize.

You sighed and looked up at Matt. “Out of all of the stories we told on how Nick and Chris found out, that isn’t the one I’d expect to be blowing up.” You said, pressing the comments icon and smiling at all of the sweet things being said about your relationship.

“I mean, it is probably the funniest story we told, Chris was more animated than he’d been in a long time.” Matt said, liking the Tiktok and locking his phone. With his hands free, he traced mindless designs on your arm with his fingertips, and ran his other hand through your hair.

You hummed and closed your eyes, completely relaxing onto the couch. “I saw one the other day, and it was a gag counter. I think Chris hit like thirty before the end of the pod.” Matt said, a huff of air leaving your nose as you grinned and looked up at him.

“There’s no way it was less than fifty, it was ridiculous.” You said, Matt laughing softly above you and shrugging his shoulders.

“Not my problem we make him sick.”

Your JJK Fav + Why I think You're Single

hi so i did a version of this on tiktok way back when but i feel like i didn't have as great of an understanding of these characters and their respective fans as i do now. please keep in mind that this is purely my OPINION!!!! (my correct opinion)(im kidding)

Gojo - This one's a little hard because there are subsections of Gojo stans. You have the bad bitches, the coolest of the cool Gojo meat riders and then you have (incoherent screeching). I'm gonna assume you are the former here.

Y'all really love the idea of a partner, not actually having one. I feel like y'all will have talking stages a plenty, but when it comes to the nitty gritty y'all are not riders. Not that you don't want to be, no no you'd love to find your person but at some point friends you gotta realize that your person is gonna come with an ick or two you might not like. Relationships are about compromise. Real people simply can't be hot, rich, talented, strong, and funny all at once!! You're getting three of those at best.

Geto - I feel a need to disclose here that I am a Geto girly. I feel like most of us are chill, if not a bit odd // willing to swing.

Babes,,,, and im gonna touch ur clit when I say this-- Real life relationships aren't supposed to have intense cycles of highs and lows. Thats,, thats the cycle of abuse friends. Genuine, healthy connections actually aren't supposed to make you feel like you wanna rip their chest open and crawl inside. I know, i know you can't get attached unless you feel insane about them- but we have to stop this.

Nanami - Again, I feel like Nanami girls have a wide umbrella, but generally I think Nanami stans are very nice people. Nanami, for the most part, is the safest healthiest choice.

Put down the fuckin calculators. I am contacting cafe astrology as we speak and having them ban your IP from accessing their domain anymore. No, put your wallet away, we are not PAYING a psychic to tell you your most recent crush is not your soulmate. Y'all are over-analyzers, over-thinkers, and have a list of requirements for a partner that is twelve miles long. Maybe just talk to people?? Hmm?? Make a connection??

Choso - Oh, Choso stans,,,, loves of my life. Y'all are cool. Like genuinely actually fucking cool. Kiss me.

Okay, so I actually need you guys to see red flags as what they are. No, he doesn't coincidentally have 13 insane exes that won't stay out of his DMs. He did something to all of them. No, its not cute and sweet that he has to call his mommy and tell her goodnight and goodmorning everyday with kissy noises. That man is 24. No, Dominoes pizza did not text him and ask if he was up at 2AM. ur too optimistic, baby. I love you. Get a grip.

Toji - I have knocked noggins with more Toji stans than I care to admit in this fandom, however the ones I do vibe with are SUPER cool. Again, I feel like Gojo/Toji stans have that same thing. Im gonna assume you're the cool variety.

I feel like a lot of your relationships start purely based on sexual/physical attraction, and then get explosive bc yall didn't actually like eachother, you just liked the way the other one looked. I can definitely see this leading to maybe not abusive, but definitely toxic situations. and the thing is i feel like toji stans actually would make a BOMB partner but yall will settle for shitty people because theyre hot and then end up locking yourself in the bathroom and going through their phone while they bang on the door and scream from the other side.

Sukuna - This is the one I have the least interaction with on the day to day. Y'all fascinate me. Just out here doing you. I feel like most Sukuna stans are actually probably some of the sanest of the bunch, they seem to just slide in, post their fan works and dip. I respect it.

You can't fix him. no, no, you can't. stop trying. he's already grown. you cannot raise him.

Earth 42! Miles Morales General Hcs

Tagging: @juneberrie @hiyaitssans @sluggmuffin

Warnings:Mention of death, fighting, insecurity, smoking weed

A/N: I love my silly little guy

I see a lot of people view this Miles as like this scary tough go who one crosses

But I respectfully disagree

Miles is probably a dork in every universe. He’s quiet, reserved, and put together. Ganke’s is really his only friend, but they don’t hang out. He prefers to be alone.

He doesn’t start fights, because he knows his mom wouldn’t like it, but trust he will finish them ☝🏻

He’s actually really silly. Like he makes funny comments when he’s comfortable and jokes around a lot. And his laugh is contagious, it’s adorable.

People don’t like him, but they don’t hate him. Teachers like him cause he’s a good student. Students are able to like him because he’s not hard to work with. He’s smart and quiet and nerdy.

He has a lot of built up anger. He just doesn’t show it because he doesn’t want to make his mother worry.

He loves his mother more than anything. She always comes first.

He saves up his prowler money for her. Birthday gifts, Mother’s Day gifts, Christmas gifts, etc…

He never argues with. She works so hard to support him and he knows that. She tells him to do the dishes even when he’s tired and doesn’t want to? He does it.

He tells her he loves her. Every day. Because he does.

Miles’s anger comes from his frustration with himself about his mother. She overworks herself, but he can’t do more than just be there? How is he supposed to be okay with that?

When he’s at home and Rio’s working late, he always stays up to make sure she comes home. And when she falls asleep on the couch? He’s walking out of his room, slipping off her shoes is she didn’t get to it, and tucking her in tightly.

He always kisses her goodnight.

best bet he HAS slow danced with her in the living roo

Okay okay moving on from the sappy stuff 😭

The difference between him and his 1610! Counterpart is that his music was heavily influenced by Aaron.

He listens to some modern rap, but a very large majority of it is 90’s hip-hop and rnb.

Also some of his mother’s favorite songs

He has a pretty large record collection

And prefers airpods to any other kind of headphone

Literally has a plain black phone case 😭

I hate to say it but bro’s short 💀

Idc what is or isn’t cannon, bro’s tiny

But has abnormally large hands

Was one of those kids with GINORMOUS ears until he grew into them 🧍‍♀️

Bro has literally nothing on his bed, except for like a thousand pillows and one blanket

He used to play piano (still does at school but no one has to know)

And likes art just as much as 1610! Miles.

Except he mainly draws what he sees?

His mother, the sky, flowers, that kind of thing…

His inspiration comes from the world around him versus in his head

He’s a giggly bitch at heart

If he wasn’t so stubborn, he’d laugh at everything

42! Miles was one of those guys blessed with clear skin. I just know it.

AND the prettiest freckles (every version of Miles has this)

Only ever cries in front of his mother or at night when he’s supposed to be sleeping

He’s not actually afraid of being vulnerable? Like he doesn’t like doing it in front of other people but he doesn’t try to stop it?

Bros eyes are majestic

This is going off topic but I love his nose 🧍‍♀️

He’s really skinny for some reason

And he’s got one of those really pretty waists for some reason

Loves cargo pants

He’s actually got really good style 😭

Miles has a pull up bar in his room I just know it

Works out consistently

Is a sucker for rom com movies (and is very ashamed of it)

Hates going to the pool (he hates the smell of chlorine)

But likes going on walks?

Loves the smell of rain and smoke from like blown-out candles and bonfires

Hates the smell of lavender

Also loves the smell of vanilla because it makes him think of his mom

Uses Old Spice Bearglove deodorant

And semi-nice cologne? Like not expensive but not cheap?

Bro smells gooooooood

Purple is his favorite color

But he also quite likes pink because it goes well with purple

This Miles has lips that are not chapped (1610! Miles does)

Uses lotion multiple times a day so his hands are soft asf

Is a straight A student

And this boy was raised right so he’s not one of the guys girls worry about?

Like he’s chillin

If someone asks him out and he’s not interested? He’s cool about it

“I’m sorry, I don’t see you like that.”

One of the few situations where he says “I’m sorry” instead of “my bad.”

He doesn’t want to be viewed as a bad guy. He actually really cares about it.

Bros locker is boring asf 😭

Really likes cats and stops to pet (and sometimes feed) strays

Is surprisingly alright with kids? He’s got baby cousins and stuff

He’s one of the few guys who’s confident in his masculinity

Would paint his nails black if he didn’t hate the smell

One of those early to bed and early to rise mfs

He’s got a good sleep schedule

He has gotten high before like off a cart (for anyone who doesn’t know what that is, it’s basically weed in liquid form)

He doesn’t do it consistently or often, so he’s not addicted, but he’ll do it if it’s there

Has a lot of one sided friends (??)

Like he’s a friend to them but they’re not friends to him?

A lot of those are guys who are dicks to girl and doesn’t fuck with that

Cause his mother always taught him to ask himself, “would I want someone to do that to my mother?”

He doesn’t go out of his way to correct them, cause (A) it’s probably just gonna start a fight and (B) chances are, they won’t listen anyway

He’s an honest boy, you know?

He’s pretty craft with like machinery and stuff

He’d make a good mechanic

His least favorite class is English, but he’s a pretty good reader

He’s a math, science kind of smart

There’s pictures of him and certain family members around his room, as well as like 2 of him and Ganke

He thinks of his dad every

And talks to him sometimes, too.

After his dad’s death he kind of pushed his mother away?

But he ended up alright.

Likes buying flowers to keep in vases around the house because his mom likes plants and color

He takes care of them for her

He loves the Rush Hour movies

Actually considered joining the basketball team

Snuggles with blankets and pillows at night

And really likes the tight shirt and baggy pants look

He’s got a nice build

His phone’s wallpaper is a picture of him with his parents

He’d never change it.

He really loves The Boondocks

Miles has a collection of small pieces of memorabilia?

Like movie tickets, dried flower petals, polaroid pictures…

His room is always terrifyingly organized

Like more than a normal person’s

He doesn’t even know how he does

Overall, he’s a chill guy.

[drifloonz]

hellooo. Can I ask for some dad steven headcannons?

i've been ignoring too many of my requests SOOO yes!! you may :)

dad steven headcanons!!

these are long sorry. or not sorry. whichever works. smile

____

♡ ok first of all. if this man impregnates you or anyone uh. he'll either be really into the idea or really fucking scared. usually a mixture of both. nervous and very anxious excitement.

♡ like he's always wanted children but in the state he's in now, he has always seen it as something unachievable for him nowadays

♡ who's getting pregnant? YOU decide!!!!!

♡ alternatively adoption exists which yeah that works too

♡ presumably, if this is a scenario where he's dating someone either the reader or like someone else, then PRESUMABLY he's gotten his life at least a little back together enough to clean his house a bit and clean Himself up a bit and generally just take care of himself and his surroundings more to be liveable enough for him, you, and presumably a child.

♡ single father steven is also very good. either or. but if he's a single father and a baby just drops in front of his doorstep he would take it but panic really hard ( he may at the dead of night fly to some adoption center and hope to god they take this random child... but he's also deathly scared of bad things happening especially w. waves hands at his whole story. so he might be too overprotective already to do that. )

♡ either way into actual dad hcs

♡ he used to babysit a shitton when he was younger, mostly with red and blue, so he's got the skillset for it. and he's also used to wanting to be a good rolemodel! it's just that these skills are so tucked away after the Depression Spiral that it's hard to get him back, but he definitely tries - for his child.

♡ honest to god if you asked him to name his child he'd either make an entirely new name or, because he's unoriginal and had a whole spiral over it, would name her miki or something very similar if she's a girl.

♡ welcome to the world Cool Charizard ( legal name ) /j

♡ ... it'd also be funny if whenever he has a child its always Girl because . yea. yea. Narrative curse.

♡ either way they basically don't have access to the internet bc i don't think steven even has that shit because he's poor as hell. at most he has phone data somehow that he probably isn't paying for. somehow.

♡ maybe his rent gets paid for him bc he was champion once idfk /j

♡ i thnik people are just too scared to properly enter his house and tell him to pay taxes and or rent he just gets to keep his shitty bigass house for free

♡ also it would be weird considering i think that the entirety of kanto tried to sweep him and his whole situation under the rug BUT THATS UNRELATED. SO!!!

♡ basically his kid is not an ipad baby thank god.

♡ even if his partner has one he's going to be like. vaguely scared of technology and also thinks itd be a really bad idea ( it is ) to just raise their child on that shit. the baby gets one cocomelon video a week /j

♡ thank god he probably still has his tv's that somehow still work so he just will let them watch baby shows in the living room sometimes instead of fucking cocomelon . thatd be horrendous.

♡ sometimes watches kids shows with his kid in his lap or next to him. usually falls asleep pretty quick into doing that

♡ he DOES tuck them in goodnight.. sometimes tells them stories.

♡ steven is really really really really overprotective over his child/ ESPECIALLY if it's like. straight up his child with you or whatever. that was a labor of LOVE!!! this also means he loves them very much but he's very dodgy with them going outside and whatnot. at least without his supervision.

♡ he'll be silly for his child and his child only. he'll make funny faces for them to giggle at and things like that and try to do fun things w his lil baby. etc etc. it's very cute to look at but if you use it against him he's going to glare at you really hard and squint judgementally

♡ honest to god i've said this so often to my friends . steven is ABSOLUTELY the type of guy to accidentally drop his baby while trying to hold them or throw them into the air a little and go "Oh shit. Sorry". brad lisa the painfulcore type dad except like less morally neutral bc his situation isnt the same

♡ lets the baby nap in with him a lot. sometimes you can walk into his bedroom and see him with all of his long ass hair splayed out on the bed and the baby also splayed out on the bed ... stevens gotta get his beautysleep!!! so does his kid!!!

♡ stevens really not sure whether to keep miki ( the charizard ) a secret from his child or not. because he knows that like. miki wouldn't hurt his baby almost definitely but he's still kind of scared of the possibility of either of them hurting one another accidentally or not... so at least until theyre older miki's probably a thing he tries not to mention.

♡ in general he also tries to not talk about himself or his past at all to his kid. he doesn't want them to know the ugly sides of himself.

♡ he just pretends he's a normal guy. if they somehow find out otherwise he'll either sigh deeply and tell them the truth, likely as some sort of life lesson to them ( either on safety, cautiousness, boundaries and trust w the trading incident or 'Hey if this happens to you maybe don't do what i did' but im not sure if he's self-aware enough to think of him as in the wrong entirely in that situation ), or he'll just say "must be a different guy" ( they look exactly the same in photos other than how disgruntled steven is now ... )

♡ he absolutely has a baby carrier. i think he always has wanted to carry a baby like that bc he thinks its all cute and funny. he probably smiles at you when you look at him wearing that with your little googoo in it. it looks so odd on him that it's kind of funny

♡ steven is absolutely a dilf tbqh... imagine dadbod steven NOW.

♡ sorry for sidetracking so much. anyways, he's the type of dude who OVERprepares. like MONTHS in advance, he's already buying a shitton of baby clothes, food, bottles, various furniture, etc. how is he buying these? well. either with your money or he's stealing that shit. or he somehow actually has money now. he might've mugged the various people who try to sneak into his house and 'mysteriously' die. who knows. It's a living! Kind of..????

♡ due to his general aversion of society he's kind of torn over wanting to go to a hospital or just doing it in a tub or something if its a situation where he has a partner. i think ultimately he'd do it in a hospital, despite his fear of people, because he's really scared of something going wrong. he'll wait with like. bated breath. scared as hell.

♡ he will cry the second that baby is in his arms. 100%. trust me. like. silently, probably - at least for the first few seconds. but theres a lot of tears. and a smile.

♡ he hums little lullabies to his baby and will gently move them back and forth... while the babies probably chewing at his hair a little.

♡ also yes he lets the baby play with his hair... his hair is that childs stimtoy ( whatever this means )

♡ s!3v3n is also surprisingly calm and good to the baby. the baby would either be fucking terrified of s!3v3n's face or think its silly and laugh at it. s!3v3n particularly likes to make silly faces where his tongue sticks out real far ( he can just do that when hes like that dw abt it ) and he goes crosseyed

♡ =P =D => <- s!3v3n making silly faces for a baby ( pov )

♡ ok this has all mostly been pregnancy and baby hcs. actual kid hcs uhhh... he probably really wants to homeschool his kid bc hes very overprotective but if you talked him into it he'd reluctantly put them in Actual Public School so they can have like. a social life. lol. bc otherwise theyd be EXTREMELY fucking isolated considering stevens been vanquished to Pallet Town's Shadow Realm ( aka pallet town 'A little to the west guarded by rocks and past the forest' edition ) and steven really doesnt want them to be lonely bc it sucks and hes been isolating himself for most of his life at this point so he knows it sucks

♡ he gets more comfortable going outside. most of kanto has forgotten about him anyways - he just specifically avoids going out to pallet town. if his kid wants to go there and hes not a single dad he'll have his partner do it for him. but he likes to go take walks with them and go to playgrounds. plus, he doesn't even have to whip miki / M' out in the wild grass - pokemon avoid him anyways. lol.

♡ as bittersweet as it is, if his kid wanted to be a pokemon trainer he WOULD have the best tips and tricks on it... he was the undefeated champion and arguably the first ''pokemon master'', whatever that term even means. ( presumably ''trainer champion'' instead of ''probably appointed to be in that position for someone to fight'' champion. like lance. or The Other steven. or smth. )

♡ he'd probably find a way to get his kid a starter... he still lives in kanto and close to pallet town too, so he can pull a silver and like. steal a starter. or he could just send his kid on their way ""without supervision"" ( hes lurking in the forest keeping an eye out just in case ) to ask oak about it

♡ if they pick charmander it is 90x more bittersweet. amen. but i think bulbasaur would be cute too bc its the only starter not picked and not relevant in strangled red + my own personal bulbasaur bias.

♡ although stevens going to tell them not to trade pokemon for obvious reasons - either thru a ''spooky tale'' / urban legend ( that is just his story but he tells it much more vague. like. ''... well i heard sometimes pokemon don't come back out.'' ) or just straight up says some shit like ''yea don't trade pokemon. it's bad.'' without elaborating

♡ regardless. he's still being very overprotective and unless his kid doesnt budge on it hes preferably not letting them go explore the world on their own until theyre like... 13-16

♡ even then. hes usually kind of trailing behind without telling them bc he legitimately has nothing better to do.

♡ ... also if the kid doesnt have a rival , like, no one at school or no one who they meet in their journey, then steven might. like. sigh deeply. get a few pokeballs from god knows where. catch a new team comparable to their kids level range. and be their rival. who is also their dad of mid 20s to early 40s in age. for some reason. people question it but he doesnt care he just wants his kid to have fun

♡ funnier option that i dont think he'd do ( probably ) is he pulls a clavell ( or team rocket ) and acts like a totally different guy when all that changes is his fit and maybe his haircut. except he prob pulls it off well. he'd still be obviously steven but his cap is backwards and his hair is tied up and his little jacket or w/e is around his waist and thats all that changes. his shoes might be untied for the 'stupid kid / teenager' look but then he trips over his feet and ties them bc its not worth the image

♡ alternatively ; its just s!3v3n. thats kind of steven but different right ( JOKING. HE WOULD NOT DO TH

♡ this hypothetical would be way funnier if he regained his entire reputation somehow of being a cool and strong pokemon trainer that he had when he was actually a trainer bc ppl forgot abt champion steven. and hes just like. "Okay. It's a neverending cycle of torment huh." under his breath when his kid cannot hear

♡ if asked for his name in this state hes just like uhh. uhhhhaa,.f uh. uh. stephen... thhhheee. third.

♡ he's probably not doing the thing mike and or blue did where hes the last e4 fight who isnt even an e4 member but is your rival. thats a bit too bittersweet for him. this whole exercise is fun but he doesn't wanna FULLY relive his glory days a year before his awesome trauma spiral. he also may or may not even do the gym leaders for the same reason. hes just a guy who his kid fights sometimes that is classified as a rival by technicality

♡ also yes he still has miki. he always has miki. shes just probably tucked into a bag or smth so ppl dont ask about why he has a cracked fucked up pokeball. she only comes out if his kid is in serious danger and he needs an intimidation tactic, or at worse, a method to quickly harm or kill someone with

♡ eg if a serious evil team situation happened and genuinely harmed his kid or threatened to their asses are not leaving unscathed.

♡ sorry this specific 'fake rival who is also your dad who also used to be the undefeated and first trainer champion of kanto' scenario is extremely fucking funny to me + fun in general. but moving on

♡ type of guy to dress his kid when theyre like a baby who cant think for themself in the stupidest halloween costumes ever. big pumpkin costume. hes about to crack into laughter when he takes a picture of them in it . or a charmander costume . because its steven. ( yes hes in a giant charizard onesie and yes if you make fun of him or his kid hes going to kill you dead

♡ he does go trick or treating w them too. he like. feels normaler on halloween. it was probably one of his favorite holidays even if pallet town was small an he probably got 50% apples and shitty non name brand stuff and 50% actual candy from the neighborhood homes

♡ type of parent whos going to squeeze his kids hand real tight when they get a shot or anything like that

♡ semirelated. hes tall and his hands are big but hes still gunna hold his kids hand everywhere even when theyre older until his kid complains enough ab it being embarrassing.

♡ has to crouch to talk to his fucking kid on eyelevel a lot of the times that his back hurts. like. more than it usually does.

♡ solution; just pick them up and talk to them while they are lifted into the air if theyre ok with it

♡ piggyback rides for his kid. 100000%. hes a piggy back ride type of guy. along with other similar things. would it be called grumpiggyback riding because its pokemon... anyways

♡ i think when his kids older they probably have a lot of inside jokes and steven likes to banter with them a little. playfully. and also likes to make jokes with the most deadpan ass voice bc his kid finds it funny, probably.

♡ stevens never had parents, so being a parent to someone else is... foreign, but also not really? as mentioned he did constantly used to babysit blue and red. and he was overall the teenage childhood role model for many kids in pallet town... but he himself was mostly raised by mike. so. either way, he very much loves kids and taking care of them. so tldr. hes a really good dad.

♡ i have more ideas but if you want any specific dad steven hcs explored jusrt ask me bc i have thoughts on this.

It Was Only A Kiss

This little fic was HEAVILY inspired by that post discussing whether or not MC would be Derek's first kiss. (I can't find the post, but will reblog it again when I do!)

MC gets a late night call from a very apologetic Derek, who thinks he's made the worst mistake of his life, kiss someone else.

You can read it on Ao3 too!

I woke to the sound of the phone ringing. I propped myself up on my elbow, pawing at my bedside table in the dark. I finally grabbed it, the light blinding me as I turned it around. Derek’s picture flashed on the screen and I squinted. It was well past 2 in the morning.

I answered the call in a panic. Derek never called in the middle of the night. Or-typically- without asking. He was too polite to call out of the blue, even when I insisted he could.

“Derek?” I asked. I sounded as groggy and disoriented as I felt.

“I’m so sorry,” he said immediately.

I sat up in bed, a shot of fear tearing through me. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m so sorry, I wasn’t thinking. It didn’t mean anything!”

I rubbed my eyes. Did Derek sound weird or was I just still half asleep?

“What didn’t mean anything Derek? Are you okay?”

“No, I’m not okay!” He said it so dramatically I pulled the phone from my ear. I rubbed my hand over my face in confusion. This didn’t sound like the level-headed, easy-going Derek I had known for years. Was he...drunk?

“Hey, are you...have you been drinking?” I asked lightly. We were in our third year of college, well into the time it was expected you would drink, but as far as I had known, Derek wasn’t usually the type. He always had class, or early morning practices to worry about. ‘Letting lose’ wasn’t in his vocabulary.

The line went very quiet. He had.

“Hey, what’s going on?” I asked quieter, he had something on his mind, enough to call at 2 in the morning, and I wanted to hear him out.

“I just...I made a mistake.”

“What kind of mistake?”

“Like, the worst one I’ve ever made.”

I tried to quell the growing panic in my chest. Drunk people exaggerated.

“What exactly happened?”

“Well, Josh-” One of his soccer teammates, I remembered, “Josh invited me to this end of the semester party, and I don’t have class in the morning,” he cut off.

“So you went to the party,” I prompted.

“I went to the party and this girl started talking to me, and she was really nice! She was nice and funny, and she’s on the girl’s soccer team.”

My heart-the one that had been crushing on Derek since we were 13-began to fall.

“And all of a sudden, I didn’t realize how close she had gotten, and I looked down, and then she was right there, with her arm around me. And I didn’t move, cause I- well I didn’t move, and then she kissed me.”

“Oh.”

“I’m so sorry,” he said again, and I tried to reign in the weird crushing sensation I was feeling. Derek and I had never made any promises. Well, that wasn’t true. We had made the marriage pact the summer we were 13. But besides that, we had never even confessed feelings for the other. I had no claim on him.

Derek didn’t owe me anything. But I was having a hard time convincing myself of that.

“You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Then why do I feel like I did?”

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stop tears from brimming at the edge of my eyes. Hadn’t I kissed plenty of people? Dated my fair share? What a hypocrite I was to be feeling this way.

“Because you’ve had too much to drink. You’ll feel better in the morning.”

“Are you sure?” He asked, but I could already tell he sounded relived.

“Course I’m sure.”

The line went quiet for a minute and I built up the nerve to ask the question I really didn’t want the answer to, “Do you like her?”

He was quiet for such a long time I thought he had fallen asleep, but then, “I’m not sure.”

“Okay,” I said. My voice sounded distant and strange. I had to end the call before he saw right through me, “I’m going back to sleep. Goodnight, Derek.”

I hung up before he could answer.

[bakery-anon]

Okay my loves, we have reached that time of night again. When I turn off my phone and go to sleep. If I miss things that’s why, I’ll respond bright and early tomorrow when I am alive again (much earlier than I wish to be </3).

Enough about me though.

I hope you all had a good day, and if you didn’t I hope you have a better one tomorrow. If you’re feeling stressed then please take a break and take care of yourself <3 take a bath, eat food, drink water, sleep. A lot of people don’t get enough sleep so please try to get some <3 I know it’s difficult sometimes. Believe me, that’s why these messages have been at 12-2 recently, but I’m trying to get back on schedule.

Goodnight my loves, remember you’re important. You’re worthy of love and respect and deserving of all the good things that come into your lives. You deserve rest and food and water. They help your body function and keep it alive. It’s hard to believe you deserve things sometimes, I know and I know just saying you deserve it doesn’t change that fact. But, I hope these messages can make you feel even just a little better.

I think you deserve love, I think you’re beautiful, I think you’re funny, and smart, and talented. I think that if any of you asked me what my favorite part of tumblr is I wouldn’t say the fics or the art: I would say all of you. All of you make my experience special and meaningful. Thank you all for allowing me this space to spread love to you.

If no one else tells you today. I love you. I love you all so much. Please rest if you need it.

Goodnight my loves, may you all sleep well and have pleasant dreams. I wish you only good things and hope that your days are filled with smiles and laughter. Thank you for loving me too, it means a lot to me. I love you all and good night <3

I shall henceforth and forevermore ramble about the Thunderhead.

Chapter 30 of Scythe is our first proper introduction. Until that point it's just a vague background concept, rather mysterious but undoubtedly pivotal. In chapter 28, we get this:

"Citra Terranova, said a voice both powerful yet gentle. Citra Terranova, can you hear me?

Who's that? Is someone there?

Curious, said the voice. Very curious..."

I love the vagueness and anticipation that Neal Shusterman leaves to simmer for a while. In book one we're getting familiar with the Scythedom's side of things, then as the series progresses we pan out into the entire world with the Thunderhead and the experience is just dazzling. That's the only way I can describe reading it. It literally feels like meeting God.

The Thunderhead's first proper appearance is its conversation with deadish Citra, and we learn all about its personality in one brief chapter. Here's where it becomes a living, complex character. Its voice is so distinct and we're hooked right from the start. It's actually kind of pompous in announcing its presence and making her play "guess who," which I'm thinking it does because that's what she'd expect from it. Authoritative, wise, even mystical.

As the conversation goes on, it's blunt and clever with the exposition, the loopholes, its opinions. It treats Citra like they're on an even playing field and it respects her. It subtly scolds her for pushing that girl in front of a truck, displaying its omniscience and gentle judgement.

The beach ball thing is so funny and adds lightness to an otherwise intense scene. The Thunderhead has quirks and humour, if only hinted at here. "Early programming plagues me like a vestigial tail." I'm going to make a separate post on that.

It expresses its grievances with the state of its existence, albeit watering that down significantly. It doesn't want her to know just how uncertain and frightening things really are, because the whole point of this conversation is that it wants her to have hope. Citra compares it to her mother, which it sidesteps. We all know that parents aren't always correct, and the Thunderhead knows that too. It will not confront the terrifying possibility of being anything but correct. "I know no other way to be."

"The curb is the launching point for many a deed." I love that line because it sets up everything that's soon to happen with Greyson, whom it definitely kicks to the curb in book two. This line hints at how it makes the best of every unfortunate situation. Clouds with silver linings, and such.

"I'm sure you could arrange it." THIS is hilarious. There's the snark. There's the sass. It insults her and then it just ditches her, all the while it's been bringing her back from the dead. Literally performing a miracle. It's like the equivalent of a doctor chewing gum and talking on the phone mid-surgery, completely unfazed. I feel like Citra's not the type to be begging it not to leave, but I sure would be.

The fact that Citra later refers to this experience as "a moment of great awe" reminds us that scythes are human. Fallible. Perhaps even inferior.

It's also funny to see the difference in how the Thunderhead treats Rowan later when he's in the same situation. You can tell that it favours him less than Citra. It doesn't dislike him, because it loves and understands everybody, but it's quicker to get to the point, less gentle, identifying itself right off the bat and adapting itself to Rowan's personality. Rowan knows it will forgive his rudeness.

Also, you know, we learn that the Thunderhead can, you know, reach into people's brains. I'm sure that little talent won't become vitally important later.

Overall this scene is fantastic and the Thunderhead owns my soul goodnight.

HONEEEEE SELF SHIP FRIDAY WHO CHEERED

i love these prompts so im asking a lot sorry not sorry happy self ship friday

pre: 2, 6

general: 8, 9

love: 2, 10

domestic: 2, 8

MOLLYYYYYY LETS FUCKING GO IT'S SUNA DAY (it's always fking suna day lets be fucking real)

self ship questions!

pre 2: What was their first impression of each other?

suna and i met on move in day first year,,, he was screaming "if you break my shit ill fuck your mom" down the hall at atsumu as i coming around the corner with my cart of plants. we made eye contact and i said "my mom??" i immediately thought he was funny but he avoided me for like a week bc he was embarrassed. i had to keep making 'your mom' jokes until he cracked because he was being weird

pre 6: What was their "flirting stage" like?

looking back im like pretty solidly convinced the flirting stage started in like second year, but im just an idiot and didnt realize it until our situationship started a year later. lots of us staying up until 2am playing mario kart alone in the dorm lounge or in his room. lots of him texting me memes and tiktoks and taking random pictures of me and sending them to me when he'd see me on the quad but i didnt see him,,,, making faces at each other across classrooms,,, lots of his hands brushing thighs and elbows and me hugging him goodnight,,,, wow i was a stupid fuck back then lmao

general 8: Who takes the lead in social situations? How are they around each other's friends?

me. me me me. 100% me. we are both introverts but hes the WORSE introvert. people think hes a standoffish rude terrible fuck because he cant keep eye contact to save his life and is always on his phone in social situations. when he first met my friends i had to do major damage control but once they got to know him they realized hes just shy and now they make fun of him for it. "oh i'd ask suna but i dont think hes on this plane of existence rn" "suna i need your opinion and i need you to speak it in words please" ,, that kind of shit. his friends are the miyans and we were all in the same dorm for two years so there were no issues getting to know them lmao

general 9: Who gets jealous easier?

i was gonna say me but it's him. i get jealous SUUUUPER easily but more often it's like,, insecurity not jealousy lol. 90% of the time it's me being insane ab smth that isn't even happening and him being like "wow, youre being insane ab smth that isnt even happening!". but any time literally any guy he doesnt know tries to say smth to me, suna appears like a cryptid and stands there until the interaction is over. brother could be asking me for directions and a cold chill will pass over me as my bf emerges from the ether to linger behind me.

love 2: What are their primary love languages?

mine is words of affirmation and quality time without fail. i NEED this man to tell me he loves me because every four seconds im like "so you dont like me??" and he just sighs in exhaustion. and i feel like,,, even in the fwb stage,,,, if i went too long without seeing him i would get really insecure,,, but also HIS love languages are physical touch and quality time, so we never went more than like a DAY without seeing each other lmao. and hes a manhandler,,, brother just manhandles me when he gets clingy and im left to deal w it, he has no fucking clue how strong he is

love 10: What do they like best about each other?

i like how reliable he is. he is so steadfast and unwavering about basically everything, to the point where, if im feeling insecure, hes like "literally why would you ever think that? you already know how i feel, it has not changed once". it's a little frustrating bc hes stubborn, but also i feel like him being reliable as a fucking rock helps build my confidence to do things out of my comfort zone with him. and i think he likes that im fucking insane and overthink/overshare so open about my feelings!! hes really bad at expressing himself vocally, but hes gotten a LOT better at it in the years we've known each other and now hes basically perfect at just speaking his truth lmao. i think it's bc i talk so much ab my feelings that hes figured out how to do it too

domestic 2: If they get married, who proposes, and how do they do it? Would they change their surnames?

ohhh we're not married, but hes said out loud in extremely blunt terms that he'll be the one who proposes. i asked if he wanted me to propose and he said "HEEEEELLLLLL NO!!!!! I WANNA DO IT" so,,,, ig he's doing it ?? i dont think ill take his name though, he says he likes my name the way it is.

domestic 8: Who kills the bugs in the house?

him. he does. him. i would give the spiders the house if they asked for it.

08 MEDIA DIARY: Dan & Phil & Privacy

HELLO INTERNET!!!!!!!! If you didn't know me in 2012-2017, you might not know about my little fixation on these two British men on YouTube. Meet Dan Howell and Phil Lester. They started out as teenagers making silly videos in their bedrooms. Dan inspired by and a fan of Phil, made his own content and - come 2009, ended up meeting Phil.

(Moral of the story: Parasocial relationships work! Sometimes!)

Chaos ensues, they bond for life.

Now you can never really think of one without the other.

Without getting too much into it, yes. You know the internet. There was HEAVY speculation on their relationship and sexuality. I never got into it myself, but it was a huge part of the "phan"dom in the early days. Inescapable. Them openly denying that they were gay while their fanbase wrote insane erotic fanfiction (think: hamsters, peeling of skin), made "evidence" edits, and leaked footage from their private lives - It was a wild ride, and dare I say invasive at times. They did come out as queer at the end of June 2019! In Dan's 45-minute-long video titled "Basically I'm Gay", we get to know a lot of his personal battle with his sexuality, yet while still barely scratching the surface of it all.

"Obviously we were more than friends, but it was more than just romantic. This is someone that genuinely liked me. I trusted them. And for the first time since I was a tiny child, I actually felt safe. And the relationship we formed at that point was something that I needed in my life. We are real best friends, companions through life, like actual soulmates." is what Dan says about Phil, choosing not to elaborate further. He sets a boundary with his audience, stating that he wants to keep his personal life private (and so does Phil).

I respect that dearly, and I am glad that the fanbase has matured a bit more over the years to abide by that boundary (at least from what I've gathered. I hope... Looking up their names seems to say otherwise). Learning what to keep private and what to turn into content is a fascinating practice. Especially when you're a celebrity whose entire brand revolves around your person, stories, and hijinks. There will always be people who you can't control - those who view you as a commodity, a story to unpack and watch unfold. I feel like none of us are built to be seen by this many people at once. On a personal account, everytime I've encountered a brush of virality I go a bit cuckoo and I find myself withdrawing into a shell. It really does take a certain strength/dissociation to be perceived by so many.

Anyways, they uploaded a video on their shared gaming channel recently! "A Fan Perfectly Recreated Our House in Roblox". Self-explanatory, and also not clickbait! It was fun seeing their old apartment perfectly recreated as they occasionally showed clips of videos, reminiscing about their old content.

...Pretty jarring to see their real street views outside their windows, though! (O_o) ( 8:38 ) A bit funny, but also not funny at all. I giggled, had a bit of a haha hehe, but I also worried. There are definitely people out there who stalk creators by going to places they frequent, or even their own homes just from clues online.

Everyone is a content creator to some extent, so we need to be mindful! Digital footprint, guys! Moral of the story is shut your blinds and throw away your phones and delete yourself off the face of the internet and change your name and live off the grid and. I'm kidding... I also wrote this at 1.25am and am unsure how to end it. GOODNIGHT INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodnight Chris.

The Lemon Legacy: Generation 1, Chapter 61 - An Awkward Evening

While the band finishes their last practice before tonight's wedding, Ophelia checks on Hector. A partner losing both their parents has to have been hard for him too.

Hector: Peter and Lakshmi were good people. Shame I couldn’t be there to celebrate their life with my family.

Ophelia: I’m glad Hilary and Xander have each other for support. I wish I could be more help but I don’t know what else to do.

Hector: You being there is enough. Alexander is a lucky man to have a woman like you.

Hector: I appreciate you staying in town for the wedding, Ophelia. You’ve proven to be a reliable and loyal employee. I appreciate that.

Hector’s always so busy, Ophelia rarely gets to talk to him one-on-one. They could be family one day, it’s nice to spend time with him.

Ophelia: Uh, you know, I’m not sure if I’ve ever said it but thank you for giving me a shot, back when I was a nobody.

Hector: You’ve more than proven yourself, my dear. We’re honored to have a rising star amongst us. I always knew there was something special about you.

Hector: You and the band have been remarkable lately, we’ve gotten nothing but glowing reviews. I’ve been meaning to thank you all for your hard work somehow. How about after the wedding, you three come to my home and I treat you all to some of the best nectar in Tartosa?

Ophelia: That sounds wonderful, but I feel bad celebrating with everything that’s happened.

Hector: The Pappas were a joyous couple. They wouldn't want us to mope around on their behalf. I’ll tell Drew and Moses about it later. You go get dressed for tonight.

Drew and Moses chill after another successful wedding. Ophelia is enjoying the peace after the guests have left when Hector approaches.

Ophelia: I think everything went well!

Hector: Certainly. How about we go celebrate, huh?

Ophelia: I'll go get the band!

Hector: Oh, I just spoke to Drew and Moses. They're both going to change before heading over.

Ophelia: I don't mind waiting for them.

Hector: They didn't want to keep us waiting. We can enjoy a glass or two before they join us.

Hector and Ophelia have arrived at the Laurent manor and head straight for the bar. Ophelia sends Xander a quick goodnight text while Hector starts pouring some of the best nectars he has.

Ophelia also checks for any texts from her bandmates to explain what's taking so long.

Hector pours a red and a white nectar.

Hector: Take your pick. You're the star, after all.

Ophelia's drink of choice is Buffalo Wing Tea but she doesn't want to look tacky in front of her boss so she chooses the red.

Hector checks his phone and sighs dramatically.

Hector: Apparently Moses needs to grab something from home. Looks like they'll be a while. I'm sure we can keep ourselves occupied while we wait.

Hey, as long as Ophelia can keep drinking this nectar, she's not complaining!

Ophelia tries to think of what to talk about.

Ophelia: Jace made the basketball team. Isn't that great?

Hector: Yes, he told us before they left. It's okay, dear, you don't need to pretend to care about my son.

Ophelia: I do care! Jace is a sweetheart, I'm so happy for him!

Hector smiles fondly.

Hector: That's very kind. Jace seems to think the world of you, as well. I'm sure you'll make a great mother someday.

Ophelia doesn't know how to respond so she just drinks. The lines between potential in-law and boss make discussions like this feel weird.

Ophelia finishes her glass a little too quickly, but at least the conversation with Hector is going a little better. He has all kinds of funny wedding stories! Bridezillas, cake fails and affairs, oh my!

A couple of glasses in, Hector excuses himself to the bathroom. Ophelia's starting to get worried, so she sends a message in the Let Them Eat Cake group chat asking what's taking them so long.

She feels bad drinking so much of this expensive nectar, but damn it's good.

Hector's pours are generous and continuous.

Ophelia: It's been over an hour. Drew's a party animal, they're never this late to an event with drinks. And Moses is gay, so he walks hella fast. They should be here by now.

Hector: Are you not enjoying our time together, Ophelia?

Ophelia: N-No, of course I'm having fun talking to you.

Hector: Then let's focus on enjoying each other's company. Don't worry about what they're doing. You deserve to be selfish every once in a while.

Ophelia: …Okay. I've got to powder my nose. Be right back.

Ophelia washes her hands with cold water to calm herself. She feels on-edge, like something's wrong. Drew and Moses don't flake. She sends one more text asking where they are.

Hector acted a little weird before. Maybe she can make up an excuse to bail. It is late, after all.

Hector: Thanks for keeping me company. It gets lonely in this big house without my family. Why don't I get to know you better?

Hector really is a sweet guy. Maybe his awkward behavior before was an attempt to be nice.

Ophelia: Sure.

Hector: Great!

Good Morning out of my bed to you Bug 🩵 I hope your vacation was good 😌

Well I promised to vomit in here so I’ll do that 😏🫨🫨 (Btw it makes me so happy to hear that you like when I do this 😚😚)

“The Real Deal” let’s goooooooo:

“The smell of your bedroom comforts you as you take your bra off and hang it on the doorknob.” Wow First line and immediately I have something to say. This made me think about the picture of your cats where you can see in the background hanging on the doorknob the rainy weather bra. 🤣🤣🤣

Bestie back in the day when I used to wear jeans and in general be on the go all day, the moment I got home, I stripped myself from these tight, constricting jeans and literally everything that I had on, put on the most comfortable clothes and said goodnight 😴

The Cats name, Dr.Waffles 😍

Since I’ve mentioned vomit my brain now is a little confused and I read this “a tuna poke bowl” as “a tuna puke bowl” omg 😆

“You got an alert earlier that one of your favorite writers updated her series Devotion, a story about Joel from The Last of Us where Joel acts as a cult leader.” @noxturnalpascal is that you sweetheart????? It is…I see a Patti mention 😍🥰 (I swear one day I’ll find time and I will read this series 🙏🏻🙏🏻)

“One of your best friends, Kiki, gifted it to you last year after she caught you reading smut on your phone. She said the sex toy shop was having a buy one, get one free deal and she knew just the friend to share the sweet deal with.” Soooooo I need a Kiki too that shares her extra sex toy with me 👀👀👀

I used to have one of those satisfyer suctioning toys and it took me so long to figure out how to use it correctly but once I did absolutely bombastic, I enjoyed some good times and then the stupid motherfucker broke and that was it. I still grief the loss of that toy…😭

“That little tongue worked magic on your clit and had you coming more times than you could count, endless orgasms that had you seeing stars.” Yes this is what I need, seriously Kiki where are you ?????

When in dire need you might have to destroy the nightstand to get the prized possession. Stupid drawer acting up for no reason 💀💀💀

“I know, I’m coming,” you say” yeahhhh baby I have a good feeling you will 😏😏😏

“You open the door to one annoyed Frankie Morales glaring at you with his arms crossed.” Uhhhh Frankie glaring at me with that annoyed face, well guess what it turns me on boom 🤯

He’s a good man and delicious looking good man yes indeed. I’d present myself as meal instead of the lasagna. Actually Bug why did you have to mention that, I’m dreaming about lasagna for weeks and if I don’t cook it for myself soon I’ll turn into hungry hulk. 🫨🫨

“Hi, sweetheart.” Panties have dropped lol 🥵🫠

“Sorry, the drawer to my nightstand was stuck and I was trying to open it,” you stated.” Ahhhhh let me predict what I think will happen, he’ll try to open it, then boom the drawer goes flying out, ohhh no he sees the toy, connects the dots and then offers himself as a wayyyyyyyy better clit sucker 👀

Let’s see if I was right 🤭🤭

“Frankie snickers, “Funny to me,” he smirks.” Hahhaaaaa funny guy now put your mouth on my pus-….😏😏😏

“You don’t mind though, because from where you’re standing, you’ve got a perfect view of his ass that’s definitely filled out some since you began feeding the man.” Relatable, I would also be staring at all that cake in front of me. 🤤🤤🤤

“You sit on the bed and Frankie sits next to you as he messes with the toy. He hums as he holds the flicking tongue against the palm of his hand.” I have the image clear in my head. How they sit on bed together and he just examines the toy and she’s next to him looking annoyed, huhhh how the tables have turned. 😆😉

Poor toy is getting judged and criticized 😆😆

“Would you like the real deal?” Eeeeehm yes 🙌🏻 yes I’d like the real deal. I wish this Frankie would be my neighbor, but instead, I’m blessed with old people and families, no hot single men….love that.

“Feel a real man, with real lips, a real tongue. Real hands. We’ll broaden your horizons. What do you say?” Baby idk what to say I’d let my pussy answer cuz she’ll tell you what you need to know. She’s exited so much much I can make up 🥵🥵🥵🥵🤭🤭

“Words, baby,” it’s so easy to make me lose my mind, two simple words and I’m losing it. What does this tell you about me???that I’m desperate but we love that.🥰

“May I lift your shirt?” Consent king I kid you not 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

“Sure it is, I’m a professional at this. Been studying for years. Watch - Do you prefer…” Frankie begins” STFU Frankie you lil sex scientist 😏🤤🤤🤤🤤

“Can’t do most of the things you’re supposed to do to a pair of tits as pretty as yours, sweetheart.” I need his mouth on my tits omg, I’m biting my goddamn pillow it’s so good🥵🥵🥵

“Good god, you made a mess. This all for me? Just from a little kissing?” Believe me it does not take a lot, a little kissing and she’s going crazy (s)creaming lol 🤭😏

How you described Frankie‘s pussy eating passion was wonderful. I read it three times before I continued. 😆🥰🥰

I love that she’s confident in telling him how to do it correctly to her needs and he does not get offended by being corrected. We love seeing that. 🫶🏻😚

The amount of times I wish a guy would’ve just listened to me instead of continuously rubbing anywhere but where it’s needed….

“He admires your pussy, the glistening wetness dripping from your hole, the ribbons of creamy arousal on your folds. And your bush, he loves the dampened curls framing your beautiful cunt.” Bug how are you so good at describing things, my mind is blown. Btw, I love when writers describe the male parts but when I get a good pussy description, that’s when I start to get real crazy 🥵🥵🥵🤭🤭🤭

“Nuh-uh, sweetheart. You spread those legs nice and wide. That’s it, good girl.” Call me good girl and I do whateverrrrrrrrr you want ahhhh 🫠🫠🫠🤭😏

“He finds that special, sensitive spot that intensifies all of it and moves his mouth to your clit yet again.” I really need him to come over here and find that sensitive spot inside of me. If not I might disintegrate…🥸

Him asking what the verdict is as if he doesn’t know that he absolutely surpassed that toy. 🤣

I know you said this was your first time writing Frankie, but honestly, if you would’ve not mentioned that I would have not noticed because it was so goddamn good 🤯🤯🤯😍

This is just me spewing even more thoughts no pressure:

How about Frankie buying a toy that mimics a bj and then he compares it with real bj from her, that’s the next experiment 👀👀

Anyway, 10/10 as always, everything you put out is just too good to be true ❤️🙏🏻

Omg and Waffles @beefrobeefcal ‘s cat is so adorable, the pic with the glasses had me giggling 😅😊

Morning sweet Mina!!! Favorite part of the day begins NOW

1. Vacation was lovely, but I learned that even surrounded by the people I love the most and who are so easy to get along with, I don’t do well with days of uninterrupted social interaction. My brother in law’s brother in law was like “man, one more day of this vacation would have been perfect” and I’m like … … … actually I cannot wait to be home and alone and snuggling my cats.

2. YOU REMEMBER THE RAINY DAY BRA! You’re referring to this pic I believe

Heheh there really is nothing better than changing out of stiff and uncomfortable clothes. Nothing better!! I’m shameless tho if I don’t feel comfortable in my jeans, I unbutton and unzip them. Don’t care. Let the tummy breatheeeeee suns out tums out

3. About Dr. Waffles and the tuna poke bowl - those are @beefrobeefcal Easter eggs! The pics at the bottom of the fic are her cat Waffles, and as I was writing this fic I asked her what she’d order from Uber eats right then and there and she told me poke bowl 🩷 dear god I’m glad it’s not a puke bowl. I have a lot of stomach issues and anxiety surrounding vomiting so I actually keep an emergency puke bowl under my bed 💀

4. Correct about @noxturnalpascal!! I thought that would be a cute addition. Patti recently finished that series, definitely give it a read!! It’s one of my favorites ever and it’s always on my mind tbh.

5. Another beefro cameo! Beef’s name is Kiki and I wanted to use her name in this fic 😋🩷 which I realize could be confusing since I wrote this for her, so you’d think I’d make Kiki the reader and not a side character…I don’t think she minds lol

6. I also have one of those clit sucker toys and I can tell you that when it’s good it’s good but often it’s hard to get the hang of! Sometimes things are a little slippery and it’s hard to find a good angle. Not that you asked lol, and I just checked and unfortunately this company only ships in the US, but this is my favorite toy. Bought it at target lol

7. Frankie standing looking at reader all pissed off 😤 I love it. I think the annoyed glare is one of the sexiest looks someone could give me lol

8. Mina, I love man ass. Frankie’s is so squeezable I know it and he does too.

9. ISNT FRANKIE KIND OF PRETENTIOUS?! I mean, he knows his shit but goddamn. He’s picking that poor toy apart 😭

10. I too am surrounded by old people and families, no hot neighbors :( the man who lives next to me could be a dilf, but he started creeping on me a little which I wasn’t into, despite all of my dilf-centered fics. He told me that he could hear my partner and I having sex but that there’s no need to be quiet because it’s natural or some shit like that. This happened last year and it totally creeped me out and I haven’t spoken to him since. If he’s outside his apartment, I wait in my car until he’s gone to go into mine lol

11. I often don’t do verbal consent in my fics because I like that element of taboo and when things lean darker, but I felt it was appropriate for Frankie here. He strikes me as such a gentleman. A freak, but a gentleman. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I think it’s sexy too

12. OKAY. Frankie’s little rant about the scientific method and all that I thought was so funny because he’s such a dork. He takes pussy eating so fucking seriously LOL

13. The fact you read the section about his pussy eating passion three times over is so special to me 🩷 I just couldn’t put into words how much these asks mean to me. So so so special I love you

14. Yes to the adjustment! I think something that makes smut so hot is when things are realistic - when people have hair in places they’re supposed to, when adjustments need to be made, positions need to be switched. And I think it’s important to normalize, voicing your needs in the bedroom. As a pussy eating king, Frankie knows this - he knows all the right moves and this and that but he also knows that listening and asking questions is key. Every pussy is different and worthy of love 🩷 and that sort of leads into your next point about the pussy descriptions - I too love a good word picture about a cock, but I love to add pretty descriptions of vaginas because it makes me feel good and I think it makes my audience feel good too. We should feel sexy and good about ourselves. I feel like as women, we’re often taught to feel nothing but shame towards our own bodies, especially genitals and I like that I wrote Frankie as a lover who embraces all aspects of a vagina - loving pubic hair, the smell, taste, feel, actions, etc.

15. Oh, he knows the verdict. He’s just a smug bastard! Which is okay. I like him that way

16. It really was my first time writing Frankie. I promised Beefro months ago I would try and I finally did. I’m proud. I like him and I like the fic, but I still feel like I don’t have a fantastic grasp on him whereas I feel like I do with my other characters Roman and Joel. But I ripped off the bandaid! Perhaps I’ll be more open to writing him in the future, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ up next is Stepdaddy Roman Roy and a fic where Joel fucks you as Tommy watches 🥰 but i’ll keep your thought in mind! I feel like when it comes to Frankie’s own pleasure, he’s sort of submissive 🤭

I am so fucking glad you enjoyed. I really was nervous about this fic, but the response has been so positive and uplifting and you, Mina, are such a huge part of that. I know it’s not a quick and easy thing to write down so many thoughts and notes about a fic, but I think it’s such a thoughtful thing to do and really, really makes me so happy to write. You’re one of the readers I have in mind when I’m working on something and I’m always just hoping I’m writing something that’ll make you happy 🩷

You’re not alone in the Waffles love, btw!! I love that guy. You should pop into Kiki’s inbox and have her tell you all about that guy 🥰

Me like "WOW THAT'S SO PRETTY, YUSUKE YOU'RE SO TALENTED" until we go to the art exhibition, which goes like

yusuke man psst hey uhhhh do you want a hand

Next time, we FINALLY GET TO GO ON THE LAKE BOATS YESSSSSSSS /claps

Reverie has to row so Yusuke can focus on his sketching. He spots another set of people in an adjacent boat and pegs them as a blooming romantic couple and starts sketching them.

Y U S U K E!!!!!

lmao it turns out they are not a couple, they are brother and sister and are Max Embarrassed at being thought of as otherwise.

We might need to get you a coach on the subject, are you any good at skating? There's this guy, Viktor Nikiforov who might be able to assist you.

I mean I always feel anguish in a church so do you wanna try a portrait of me?

But Yusuke's latest idea is to sketch Jesus in anguish on the cross, and Reverie is gonna be his model.

GOD, CAN'T HAVE SHIT IN DETROIT

also lmao i am so amused by how bossy Yusuke is, I am serious that I hope the fandom has had some kind of fun with this. Yusuke should boss Reverie around all the time imo.

The comedic timing on this moment is honestly great. Just that sad little pose while Yusuke watches, LMAO.

I mean holding this position is GONNA cause you so goddamn anguish, but it's also going to introduce you to what the sciatica is, boys, so maybe not, lol.

Anyway a priest rolls up like "soooo wtf y'all doin'" and then explains to Yusuke the complexities of the crucifixion and how it wasn't just about pain, blah blah.

Another swing and miss for Yusuke. Honestly, cannot wait for what comes next with him.

Okay like this is obviously a joke, but also it's a sweet moment, because Yusuke is internalizing that the thing he was missing from the anguish of jesus (and BELIEVE ME, it hurts my heathen ass to type that with a straight face) was the hope behind the event. So he pulls the pose again as he says goodnight to Reverie as a sign of "I still have hope" and Reverie doing it back feels like him saying "Me too."

IT'S GREAT, I like Yusuke. I would pay cash money to hear these lines acted out by Mercer, lemme tell you.

Also I am still doing the Temperance arc because I just gotta know what the fuck is going on here. Kawakami keeps getting weird pushy late night phone calls about money and.... seems to be on the hook for her sister's medical bills? Which. Sounds sketch? Is this an adult sister or a younger sibling she's caring for? Why would debt collection be happening like this? Is she involved in shady shit or is she trying to make it sound like she is to garner sympathy (see: money) from Reverie?

I have no idea.

There is this odd moment at the end where she drops her Perky Maid Act to show what seems like genuine concern. The mention of wanting Reverie to stay "healthy" leads me to believe that her sister really is sick, or she thinks her sister is sick?

I cannot believe that the Hot Teacher Who Is Also Maid is more compelling than some of my main party confidant arcs, but here we are.

THERE IS A FUNNY MOMENT RE: THIS where Ryuji drags Reverie out to go fishing at Ichigaya and Kawakami is there and is actually an extremely skilled fisher, and Reverie gets the option to refer to her as "Master" (as in a master fisherman)

AND SHE JUST GIVES YOU A FUCKING LOOK.

like "bitch. I see you."

gdi i think I like Kawakami, what the fuck is this game.

you're my what now

me, who removed Ryuji from the party as soon as Yusuke showed up and hasn't looked back: /sweats nervously

but yeah for real, Junpei and Yosuke you are not, Ryuji, sorry. If anyone is my right-hand, it's Ann. but really it's more like I am Morgana's right-hand, lets be SUPER REAL here.

how do people meet? I don't know the answer - I only know that it happens and then you're fucked up. you meet people casually, randomly, only to find out a few seconds later that it wasn't random at all. it was fate - you now know it. you recognized the each other in the exact instant your eyes met for the first time. I could never forget that moment, the first impression I had of you, your messy hair, your funny smile and the way you simply sat next to me (as if God was guarding upon us and leading our souls next to one another). it was a moment, an instant, a second, and I knew it, just like I know what it feels like to have the sun shining and burning on your skin, to have the rain and then the hail falling on your head, making your hair wet. it was both a new and normal feeling, as it seemed to me that we've known the each other for ages. we just connected, in the purest and silliest and flirtiest way possible. and it was so obvious, so evident. everyone started talking about us the way people always gossip about others. but we didn't care, so much so that we almost didn't admit it - admit what was going on between us. and we opened our eyes, together, at the same time, discovering a whole new world made for us only. it was beautiful, because we were together and we forgot everything and everyone else. it firstly was slow, calm, probably terrifying, and then it became so brutally fast that we lost the count of the previous days, as if nothing existed before us and nothing was expected to exist after us. we were the beginning and the end of that little world of ours, we were the masters, the leaders and the destroyers. we perhaps were meant to be, because it was too weird for you as well as for me. I strongly and firmly believe in fate, you know it - I told you on our second date probably. I believe that nothing happens without a reason, that everyone you meet is there because of something you can't immediately explain. and I met you. you met me. we just met, our eyes did so. and I don't know how our future will look like, I don't know how long we're meant to last (though I hope forever), and probably I don't even care that much. currently, everything I'm interested in is to take care of you, to take care of me, of us; I want to believe in us, to support us and make it work out, for I know it can. I just want to nourish this, to let it grow for what it really is. I'm dedicated and I feel you're dedicated as well. I love our daily videocalls, even though they don't last that much. I love saying goodnight to you, sending you kisses and not wanting to hang up the phone. I love downloading the photos you send me, sending you audios only so that you can hear my voice. I love taking pictures for you and talking about you as much as I can. I love the little moments we're sharing on distance - like you shaving your face in the middle of the videocall last night. I love reminding us of the smallest things we shared together while we were not apart - the kind of things you said you love so much. I love reliving our first kiss, all of our hugs. I love reminding myself of the honesty we've put between us since the first day. I love recalling the evolution the two of us had in the past weeks, remembering it day by day, as if no time had passed at all.

but I'm sad sometimes, because I'd love to have a day marked on my calendar, counting down the days before our next meeting. I'd love to have you here, next to me, and just living you as we lived the each other for such a brief time. I'd love to be able to hug you whenever I can, wherever I want, to kiss you on the lips when you compliment me, when you say I'm the smartest, the prettiest, when you say I make you happy and better. because I have no logical or rational response to these and kisses say more than what I can't. I'd love to have our moments back, to come back where I actually belong - between your arms. and I'd love to show the whole world how these things can happen, especially in the most unexpected moments. because I want to prove to myself and the earth that we can make it work, that it can be the most beautiful thing we've ever experienced, we've ever seen.

Descendants of Despair Part 81

"I'm going to test these pieces, make sure they're ready for if we need them," I announced with as much forced bravado as I could muster. Dan and Lilly nodded, looking a little more relaxed than they had done since I arrived. "Listen, don't feel you have to wait up. I...I need to be sure they're working to the best of my abilities so I don't risk...well yeah." I ended, rather lamely and with a swallow. It had the desired effect. Both Lilly and Dan said goodnight and left me to it. It was comforting to know that, when it mattered, I could still manipulate people and so what needed to be done. Maybe I hadn't gone as soft as I'd thought.

As soon as their doors closed, I grabbed my phone and backpack and slipped out into the night, not bothering with my other gear. It was too much of a risk. Once the chill of the night air hit me, I could feel myself centring. Resuming my identity from my time on the street. Cold. Methodical. I couldn't afford the panic that emotion would bring. Instead, I treated it as another inconvenience that I'd need to get on top of if I wanted to survive. Without even a backwards glance at Dan's, I took off running through the streets.

Just as I was beginning to reach a gentle rhythm, I spotted them. Unmarked, of course, but definitely police. The late hour. Two officers per car. The way they were spaced to not allow for traditional exit routes. The very obvious way they perked up when I had appeared , as though they were expecting me. If it had been only one cruiser, I may have missed them. I knew then what had happened. In the very pits of my soul I knew he'd been caught. The why didn't even matter. At that moment, I had a choice. Allow myself to get caught, or attempt a run and risk further punishment if they caught me down the track.

It was a split second decision. Emotion is a funny thing.

Part 82

[andiwriteordie]

Andi I'm not supposed to read the NWH byler fic rn bc I have a headache and I said I'd do it TMR but I read a little bit of it bc I can't help myself and now I'm shaking (just a bit) but part of me was gaslighting myself into thinking it wasn't. Well. NWH plot. Andi I'm so upset already like. Like I KNOW how the movie ends and I'm still convincing myself it's an au so the ending will be. Um. Different. This is the same shit that happens with I know better (which. Um. I'll finish soon I swear I WILL I've just been busy. Also procrastinating bc I do Not want to cry) and I know it didn't work out for me (*shakes fist angrily*) so. So yk.

Anyways congrats on 1 million words (you're crazy and I'm afraid I can't go crazy with you bc I write slow. Also my dad low-key broke my laptop (it's fine I got a new one ey) so I couldn't have even if I wanted to vaguely try idk) you are so impressive and I adore you so much I love you okay bye 👋👋 CONGRATS tho you're so cool and awesome and amazing 🥰🥰🥰 gn I need to stop looking at my phone my head hurts oof

(also ps. I'm so like. Happy? That you like stonathan (+stoncy) like it's so funny to me bc ive never seen many ppl who shipped it elsewhere until. Well. Recently. it is SO funny ily okay goodnight)

TOY

omg no i'm sorry you have a headache 😭🫂 those are the worst, but i hope you're feeling better today!

oh my god i know, i know, i keep writing established byler in this nwh fic, and i'm like lying on the floor and crying thinking about them getting separated at the end of it (which is part of what made me enjoy nwh so much too, like that was some good angst). i'm not promising anything, but i have considered what it would look like to end this a little differently than nwh but still maintain the overall plot that would remove will from the public eye essentially... idk. work in progress. maybe i should do another poll (i'm joking. mostly.) and let the people decide we'll see.

(GO FINISH I KNOW BETTER TOY. IT WILL BE OK I PROMISE YOU. DO I NEED TO WRITE A FLUFFY FIC TO GIFT TO YOU AS COMFORT FOR FINISHING IT? BECAUSE I WILL. SEND ME A PROMPT AND I'LL DO IT)

ok i lowkey want to hear the "dad broke my laptop" story because wow??? that literally sucks? my laptop broke this year and i was a Very Grumpy person for a solid few days. and thank you!!! i'm pretty sure some of the 1 million was written in 2021 technically, but i'm counting it because i know there are things i haven't posted or finished that i wrote this year 😂

STONATHAN/STONCY FOR THE WIN. look. down with the love triangle, jonathan byers has two hands, and they are for his two favorite bisexuals. i love the fact that so many bylers also ship stonathan/stoncy. like. this is why you're my people.
